Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Is it time for doctor Cobbley. Doctor Michael Cobble is here.
- 0:05Good morning, doctor Cobbyle. How are you?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm doing great, good good.
- 0:10Speaker 1: You sound cheaper considering considering all all this stuff.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I got my early morning swim in and I'm ray
- 0:18you're all all right.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Eight seven seven six oh two nine six ninety six.
- 0:23That's the number to call and talk to doctor Cobble
- 0:27about any medical condition that you want, and bear in
- 0:29mind mental health is a medical condition. Eight seven seven
- 0:34six zero two nine six ninety six. You can also
- 0:37text your questions to three three nine eighty six. Do
- 0:43we have any text questions yet?
- 0:44Speaker 3: Nope?
- 0:45Speaker 1: Let me so. I mean, I'm sort of kidding about
- 0:48mental health. But doctor Cobble, therepre probably people today who
- 0:53are feeling less than on the bright side, yea, what
- 0:58kind of medical advice do you have for those people?
- 1:04Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, everyone's got a different feeling
- 1:07about how the election went. So I think I'm optimistic
- 1:11about America. I think it's a great country and people
- 1:14here are beautiful and helpful, and I hoped the better
- 1:18Americans continue to move forward.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:21Speaker 5: See, we needed to hear that.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Thank you, doctor cobble. Don't say anything, Carrie, all right,
- 1:25just let that be. Let it just lie there. I wish,
- 1:28I wish I had the pills he was taken, but
- 1:32I just don't. And I really meant that. I don't.
- 1:35I resent that, and I'm going to try not to
- 1:37be that person. The person that I don't don't want
- 1:40Donald Trump turning me into the I told you so
- 1:42person does not him turning me into any kind of person.
- 1:46It's just not it's just awful to hear that. So uh. Anyway,
- 1:50but medical questions, well, here's here's a text question.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Okay, but anyway eight seven seven six two nine six
- 1:56for medical questions, here's a tex text question. Is medical
- 2:00marijuana safer than taking benzos for anxiety?
- 2:06Speaker 1: Benzones?
- 2:07Speaker 2: What benz Yeah, benzodazepines would be things like valliums, an ax, klonipin, adavan.
- 2:15Medical marijuana is not currently approved for anxiety in Utah.
- 2:20And if you look at the safety of medical marijuana
- 2:24versus benzadaesepine, I think they are about thirty thousand deaths
- 2:28from overdoses of benzadazepines in the United States annually. Benzdesepines
- 2:34work on the same receptor as alcohol. I think alcohol
- 2:36kills about ninety thousand Americans annually in the United States.
- 2:41Medical marijuana is not associated with death rates, so I
- 2:45think from that point of view, i'd say that THHC
- 2:49or medical marijuana is safer than some of those benzadaesepines
- 2:54you've talked about.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Those things work on people in different ways too, though,
- 2:58don't they. I mean, you know, I've just speaking from
- 3:02personal experience. I found that THHC has the tendency to
- 3:06make cause me anxiety. Really yeah, when I get when
- 3:10I've had occasion to use it, I have the tendency
- 3:14to be sort of paranoid and full of anxiety. Just
- 3:17makes me sleepy.
- 3:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Depending on the THHC dose and the strength of it
- 3:22can make some people a little activated or paranoid. Typically
- 3:25the bendzodazepines are sedative hypnotics, so they sedate people and
- 3:30hypnotize them and make them do things they don't remember.
- 3:33It can suppress respiratory activity, so people can stop breathing
- 3:38if you take them in a high dose. Obviously they
- 3:40can end in a bad outcome. But there are some
- 3:43people that are activated with THHC, especially if the dose
- 3:47is higher. So again, I think it's always good to
- 3:50smart start low. If any medical marijuana type product for patients.
- 3:55Speaker 5: Here's here's a text question that we can dispense with quickly.
- 3:59I'm sure or I'm considering of assectomy, but heard there
- 4:03may be some links to cancer. Any thoughts on that
- 4:07there's no links to cancer on that sector.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably would just not refer to Google or
- 4:13the Internet.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Yeah, those, but get ready for four years.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Of that to carry.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:21Speaker 1: People don't seem to want to ask some questions on
- 4:23the phone today.
- 4:24Speaker 4: I don't.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Everyone's depressed. Listen, put down the bottle and go to
- 4:29the phone eight seven seven. And I know I'm not
- 4:32specifying the bottle of what whatever it is. If it's
- 4:35a household cleaner, put it down. Something that's bugging you
- 4:39health wise, when you have some text. We've got some
- 4:42text questions.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Let's see question for doctor Cobble. I have sleeping problems,
- 4:46but sleeping pills don't really help, nor do I want
- 4:49to take them. I've heard magnesium helps. Is there anything
- 4:54else I can do?
- 4:58Speaker 1: You know? Did we they've got in your company? Go
- 5:02ahead Africa.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some natural things that work well, passionflower,
- 5:08calameal v Laryerian root, trip to Fan that's in Turkey,
- 5:12trip to Fans in Turkey, or warm milk that's what
- 5:16my grandma used to like, a little turkey at night
- 5:18for bed, or lots of warm milk. I think that
- 5:21prescription medications that I like would be some of the
- 5:24mood stabilizers or antidepressants at low doses, not for depression
- 5:29or psychosis. But that's things like docspin tras down mertesepine.
- 5:34Those are non addictive. And then I think the doorra
- 5:38medications and the brand names for those are like Cuvivic,
- 5:41Belsamra de Vigo. I'm pretty safe, but I like to
- 5:45avoid the benzo DAEs apines. Again, that's the ambient sonata, lunesta,
- 5:50klonipin atavansanax if I can, but there are some patients
- 5:54that that's the only thing that works. And I think
- 5:56if they're not abusing it, and they're not having side
- 5:58effects from them, and they're appropriate when they're being managed
- 6:02by a doctor, all right.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I always thought Trip to Fan was the capital of Turkey.
- 6:06Speaker 2: But Bob.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Bob a song, right, Bob, are you there?
- 6:18Speaker 2: Oh?
- 6:18Speaker 3: Yes, I'm here.
- 6:19Speaker 4: I'm here. Yes.
- 6:21Speaker 3: My question for the doctor is what should I do?
- 6:23I'm so ecstatic over the results of yesterday. It's just
- 6:27the best news I've ever heard. And I just wanted
- 6:29to let you guys know that you should cheer up
- 6:32and and and quit just being so negative because you
- 6:35are about the election results. I just want to ask
- 6:38the doctor, So what should I do? Doctor? I'm so
- 6:40happy about it?
- 6:42Speaker 2: You know?
- 6:42Speaker 3: Should I keep listening.
- 6:43Speaker 1: To this radio? Can I, Bob? Could I ask answer
- 6:47for the doctor? I think you should see. I think
- 6:50you should seek help immediately. You should see help immediately.
- 6:53See you later.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Well, let's see.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Yeah, they're such gracious winners.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I mean, he brings up a point. You know, half
- 7:02the people are happy and excited and half the people aren't.
- 7:05And I think you've got to love your neighbor and
- 7:08love the people around you, and and you know, try
- 7:10to be optimistic about it. And I again, yeah, I'm kind.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Of like a man of those points, spoken like a
- 7:18man of the medicine.
- 7:21Speaker 2: I think that, you know, golf, He's going to make
- 7:23golf grade again, and I'm excited to get out on
- 7:25the golf course.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Nixon plays Brandon Hey, Brandon Uh, what's up? What's your question?
- 7:34Speaker 4: Is dot? Thanks for taking the call. Yeah, I think
- 7:38I've got I don't know. Your ears are constantly growing,
- 7:41your nose is constantly grown. My life foot seems to
- 7:44be growing at a faster eight in my left foot,
- 7:47like it's not smaller eating? But is it possible?
- 7:52Speaker 1: Heard of this.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Fit perfectly fine, we're great all last year and now
- 7:59they're right for this all right?
- 8:02Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean you bring up a great point
- 8:05to a lot of our body parts grow as we
- 8:07get older. For most of us it's their abdomen. But
- 8:13I think that it's not unusual for one foot to
- 8:16be larger or smaller than the other. And some people
- 8:20when they get ski boots or different boots, they have
- 8:25to get different sizes or them punched out a little
- 8:27bit on the one size. But I think if it's
- 8:30a dynamic change, it's not unreasonable to see a pediatrist
- 8:34and just look for other things that might be causing that,
- 8:38you know, metabolic things like thyroid dysfunction or adrenal gland dysfunction.
- 8:42But again, if it's not painful and it's not swelling,
- 8:45I typically I think it might be just a normal
- 8:48change with age.
- 8:49Speaker 4: All right now, or maybe I could go to Marie
- 8:52Lago and find somewhere to put it there.
- 8:55Speaker 1: You go, thanks Brandon. Was that was subtle? Eight six
- 9:02two nine six nine six is the number to call.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Let's my question is is he going to put the
- 9:07small foot there?
- 9:08Speaker 1: The yeah, exactly. Let's see. I work with children. Here's
- 9:13a text question.
- 9:14Speaker 5: I work with children, and there is a growing amount
- 9:17of children that are overweight. I wouldn't want parents to
- 9:20cause mental health issues and stress by calor recounting with
- 9:24their kids. But what is an effective way to help
- 9:27helpful and effective way and helping kids eat healthy without
- 9:30causing further problems.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question. When I trained, we didn't
- 9:36see type two diabetes obesity and children, and now that's
- 9:40the main type of diabetes and children. And I think
- 9:44when you looked at the data, when kids are looking
- 9:46at magazines or TV, they would see three or four
- 9:49hundred food advertisements a month that promoted fast food and
- 9:55unhealthy eating behaviors. The one thing we learned is children
- 9:59pattern there being behaviors after the parents. So if the
- 10:02parents are overeating and having large quantities of food and
- 10:05having bad snacks in the homes, soda pops and sugar
- 10:08things and those types of things that kids are going
- 10:11to follow that behavior. So I think the best thing
- 10:15for a parent to do with their child is go
- 10:16out and walk with them, walk the dog with them,
- 10:19be active with them, eat appropriate quantity and quality of
- 10:24food when you can, and then if the child is
- 10:27overweight with a pediatrician, then you know, having a pediatrician
- 10:32work with you for appropriate eating behaviors. I don't know
- 10:37if calorie counting is that helpful for the kids unless
- 10:40the parents need a calorie count and the kids can
- 10:42learn it with their parents.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Here's a text question thirty seven year old woman, I've
- 10:48had an IUD for six years and i haven't had
- 10:51a period in five.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Should I be concerned it happens?
- 10:57Speaker 2: You know a lot of people that have IUDs, especially
- 11:01because those are progesterone secreting birth control methods, typically won't
- 11:07have periods. A lot of women, not all, but a
- 11:10high percentage will stop having periods of ID and may
- 11:14not have them again until the IED is removed. Most
- 11:17IDs are effective for five or six years. So I
- 11:21think that's a great conversation to have you with your
- 11:23gynecologists that put the I D in.
- 11:27Speaker 1: They weren't great. I had no idea how they they work.
- 11:30I didn't realize they they actually secrete some a little hormone,
- 11:34not all of them. You can get them without a hormone,
- 11:36but they just sort of irritate the lining just enough
- 11:42to make it so it doesn't implant. All right, when
- 11:47I had one, I love there's a phone question quickly?
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yours works pretty well, right, mind does Roxanne?
- 11:54Speaker 1: You're a last call? Hey rox Ane? What's your question?
- 11:58Speaker 6: Hi everybody, and foremost thank you for letting me listen.
- 12:02It was a relief to at least turn on the
- 12:04radio this morning after everything, and you guys around. But
- 12:09my question is that before my husband he's been just
- 12:12yesterday he started having some abdominal pain and it seems
- 12:18very very severe. And I know that sometimes like intestines
- 12:22can have severe pain just with regular digestion, and I
- 12:27thought that was it. You know that guy, he's given
- 12:29him a magnesia and tried to kill him full of foods.
- 12:32But he's just in a lot of pain, and I'm
- 12:35wondering if I need to maybe just take him to
- 12:37the hospital. But I don't know how to tell what's
- 12:41going on because it seems to pick them and go.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough question, marks Anne, because I think
- 12:48the severe the pain dictates the visit to the emergency room.
- 12:52The hard part in the abdomen. You've got the stomach,
- 12:55You've got the spleen, you get the pancreas, you got
- 12:56the gallbladder, you get the small intests and the large intestine. Appendix,
- 13:01he doesn't have any of the female organs, I assume,
- 13:04but you you have to account and the location of
- 13:08each of those may dictate based on his exam. You know,
- 13:11whether he's got appendicitis or dig articulitis, or he's got
- 13:15a kidney stone, or he's got a gallbladderstone or I think,
- 13:19and again it's based on his age too. The presentation
- 13:22is different based on somebody's age. But I think if
- 13:26he's in severe abdominal pain, I would probably take in
- 13:29an emergency room.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I think, Roxanne, this this what happened. What happened to me,
- 13:34severe abdominal pain. It lasted for for a day and
- 13:39then it got severe. It was general and then it
- 13:42got really painful in one small location. And it was
- 13:46my appendix. So go get him checked, Go get it.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Checked smart people at work and do some testing.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Thanks. All right, Well, there we go.
- 13:57Speaker 5: I hope that Roxanne gets her husband to the.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Yeah, he said to Terrible Dyeah he did. Uh. So
- 14:02that's it, doctor Capble. Thanks so much for being there,
- 14:05and it's always a pleasure to have you on.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me all right.
- 14:10Speaker 6: He was a little rare sunshine today, wasn't he.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Yes, he was
