- 0:44and what a great arbiter, Ken Kuchinelli. The Election Transparency
- 0:51Initiative Election transparency dot org be coming up in just
- 0:56a little bit. But you know, you know how I
- 0:59am about out cancer research and regularly talk to folks
- 1:04in the field carrying beyond cancer. Is that a period
- 1:08of time where I want to help highlight some of
- 1:10the things that are going on in between and sometimes
- 1:13before infusions. That's why Max Menevo is on with this
- 1:17doctor and it is the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Max.
- 1:23Speaker 4: You'll see all the folks were in pink for Breast
- 1:26cancer Awareness Month. How are you doing, Max, and thanks
- 1:29for taking some time out with us doctor.
- 1:31Speaker 5: Of course I'm doing well. Thank you for having me.
- 1:34Speaker 1: So where are we?
- 1:36Speaker 4: I remember the early days of breast cancer awareness and
- 1:40my mother was a survivor because of all the public
- 1:45service announcements and you know check yourself kind of programs
- 1:50that really changed the world for a lot of folks.
- 1:55And so where are we today that I mean, that's
- 2:00going back to the seventies.
- 2:04Speaker 5: Yeah, so things have certainly changed a lot since the
- 2:07nineteen seventies. We have really robust screening programs now, so
- 2:13we recommend that women are screened starting at the age
- 2:16of forty and all the way until they're you know,
- 2:19into their eighties. And so, you know, lots of things
- 2:25going on with mammograms MRIs if patients are found to
- 2:28need those, and we're recommending that patients get screened every year.
- 2:34And so with all of those recommendations, we've seen the
- 2:40outcomes for breast cancer improved dramatically since the nineteen seventies.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Well, and talk about that, talk about the treatments and
- 2:49how that's changed, because I know that the MRI. Ability
- 2:52to take an MRI and find out what's going on
- 2:55without the discomfort of a mammogram has helped more women
- 3:01the ability to go out and we have mobile mammogram
- 3:05clinics in bags of campers pulling into rural neighborhoods. So
- 3:11that part talk about the treatment itself surgical, radiological, but
- 3:16also am on the targeted genetic treatments.
- 3:22Speaker 5: Sure, so I'll start with the surgical treatments because that's
- 3:25my specialty. That's what I do every day. So, up
- 3:29until about the nineteen fifties, breast cancer was treated in
- 3:34the same way, regardless of what kind of breast can,
- 3:36what kind of breast cancer, or how big the breast
- 3:38cancer was, and that was by an operation called the
- 3:41radical mastectomy, which, to be honest, is quite a disfiguring operation.
- 3:45It had significant effects for the rest of the patient's life.
- 3:49That operation involves removing the entire breast, all the lymphodes
- 3:52under the arm, as well as the pectoralis muscle, and
- 3:55so you can imagine that that is quite a big operation.
- 3:58And for a woman that might have had like a
- 4:01five millimeter cancer or something less than an inch in size,
- 4:04that was the standard operation until about the nineteen fifties.
- 4:08After that, there were some really big studies that were
- 4:10done in thousands and thousands of women looking at whether
- 4:13or not less invasive surgeries such as just a mastectomy
- 4:19and maybe radiation along with that, was safe, and they
- 4:23found that it was just as safe as a radical
- 4:25mass tectomy, and so we had the ability to do
- 4:28less invasive surgeries with the same outcome. And then even
- 4:32since then, we've now studied quite a bit the safety
- 4:36of what we call breast conservation surgery or BCS you'll
- 4:40hear it abbreviated, and that involves just removing the tumor
- 4:44itself with some tissue around it that looks normal to
- 4:46the pathologists, and that comes along with radiation treatments afterwards,
- 4:50and that's a way to save the breast but treat
- 4:53the cancer safely. And we've found that the outcomes of
- 4:55that are actually the same for mastectomy.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Well that's great use, yeah.
- 4:59Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So that's been quite a change over the
- 5:02last thirty to forty years. And then along with that,
- 5:05we've seen improvements in the way that radiation is delivered,
- 5:08and so radiation can be less toxic and less damaging
- 5:13to the skin than it used to be. And we've
- 5:15gotten much better with chemotherapy and endocrine therapy or estrogen
- 5:20blocking medications. So overall, you know, the outcomes for breast
- 5:25cancer as a whole in the nineteen seventies was about
- 5:29about seventy five percent of patients would survive to five
- 5:32years after diagnosis, which is not great, but now it's
- 5:37about ninety one to ninety three percent.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Well, that's great, doctor, I appreciate it. Appreciate your visit
- 5:43with us this morning. First thing today carrying Beyond Cancer

- 8:04Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:27reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 10:01up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29at home, but because of their acute senses. They also
- 10:32perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:17Speaker 3: From Joe Thomas. It's first thing.
- 13:19Speaker 19: Today, Happy tedsty it's a shutdown mode.
- 13:42Speaker 4: No, we're not running in safe mode. No, we are
- 13:46fully opened and fully operational. No staff furloughs. That first
- 13:51thing today by Joe Thomas, Ken Kochinelli with us from
- 13:55the Election Transparency Initiative this morning Elections Transparency dot orgon
- 14:02before we went to the news at the top of
- 14:04the hour, can I called you the conservative version of
- 14:09Eric Holder, But as I look at what you're doing,
- 14:12you are doing for conservative constitutionalist principles, the same thing
- 14:17Eric Holder is out there doing, using the law, pointing
- 14:21out the law. But in Eric Holder's case, I see
- 14:24a lot of lawfare where they get somebody at ten
- 14:27o'clock at night in some General Assembly meeting to pass
- 14:30some bill when there's twenty percent of the caucus still
- 14:34they're awake enough to vote, and these things become law
- 14:37years before they ever manipulate them into voter turnout fraud?
- 14:43Is that something that the listener really needs to be
- 14:46watching out their local state governments.
- 14:49Speaker 20: For Yeah, so what you're describing as a very strategic,
- 14:54long term effort, and the reality is that the left
- 14:58has been funding what call election process and I don't
- 15:02say that negatively, that election process efforts since the two
- 15:07thousand and four election cycle, and the right did not
- 15:10seriously get into this until after the twenty twenty debacle.
- 15:14So they had a sixteen year head start on us.
- 15:17And that includes litigation, it includes, you know, recruiting election
- 15:24poll workers, something we Virginia was a leader in after
- 15:28twenty twenty, called the Virginia model the way we do
- 15:31it around the rest of the country. And we've closed
- 15:35the gap on the number of election officials, We've closed
- 15:37the gap on litigation capability. They still lead on the left.
- 15:41They still have greater money and heft in here than
- 15:46the right does, but it isn't it isn't an abandoned
- 15:50field anymore. Now there's actually substantive contesting of the territory.
- 15:57They also have funded secretaries of state. We've seen the
- 16:00Soros money has now moved over to prosecutors as well,
- 16:04which matters for elections because if you're in Fairfax County, Virginia,
- 16:08and you have a Soros prosecutor. The local prosecutors in Virginia,
- 16:13like most states, are responsible for ninety nine point nine
- 16:16percent of crime. Well, if people are committing election fraud
- 16:19knowing full well there's a prosecutor that won't prosecute it, well,
- 16:23then why not do it right? And I'm not actually
- 16:26inviting that, but that's the circumstances that they have built
- 16:30up quite on purpose. And to stay with the Virginia example,
- 16:35Jason Mire is the Attorney General of Virginia has also
- 16:38has election authority, but not a great deal of man
- 16:41power relative to the size of the state. And that
- 16:45was brand new when I became Attorney general, and only
- 16:48that authority only arrived in the office at the very
- 16:51end of my tenure. And it didn't come with more
- 16:53man power. It didn't come with more money. We had
- 16:56to do all of that enforcement with the man power
- 16:59we already had ad So you know, that's an imbalance
- 17:04in the system that they are working with the DA
- 17:09effort combined with their secretaries of State as part of
- 17:12their efforts to control elections and to determine outcomes, and
- 17:16they'll prosecute voter fraud, but only when it happens by Republicans,
- 17:20like we saw in a congressional race in North Carolina.
- 17:24And let's not tell that this does you know, voter
- 17:28fraud is not a new phenomenon. It does happen all
- 17:31across the spectrum, but only the left is built up
- 17:34a system designed to be easier to commit fraud in
- 17:40only the left supports a system that intentionally introduces additional
- 17:45chaos so that their litigation advantage can be brought to bear.
- 17:48These are all strategic efforts, and you know, from a
- 17:53pure power winning standpoint, they're not stupid. They're not stupid.
- 17:58They're evil, but they're not stupid. And at the Election
- 18:03Transparency Initiative at Election Transparency dot org, we're going to
- 18:07keep working to improve these not just in Virginia, but.
- 18:09Speaker 1: In all fifty states have to.
- 18:11Speaker 20: Like I said, we've had a lot of success for
- 18:13five years.
- 18:15Speaker 1: But we have a lot more to do, and that's
- 18:17why we're glad you're doing it. Ken.
- 18:18Speaker 4: I want to tap into your expertise DHS for a second,
- 18:23and certainly the president trying to protect ice offices and
- 18:27ice officers as.
- 18:28Speaker 1: They do their duty.
- 18:30Speaker 4: But Saturday morning, after a car chase. Friday night, the
- 18:34Des Moines school superintendent is arrested, having been found to
- 18:38have already violated not just his visa, but then in
- 18:42direct order from the Biden administration to get out of
- 18:46the country. And we're watching hundreds of people protesting. Is
- 18:52can it get weirder?
- 18:56Speaker 20: I'm sure there's a way it can get weirder, but
- 18:58usually for it to get weirder takes real life. We
- 19:00can't sit around and cook something up. But here we are,
- 19:05with every single thing that the left says never happens happening.
- 19:08He's registered to vote in Maryland since twenty twelve, he's
- 19:11voted illegally. And to your point, to emphasize, I laugh
- 19:17when you said it is even the Biden administration delivered
- 19:21this guy a removal order. That's quite something, really, And
- 19:26I don't know what was going on this this Iowa
- 19:29school district. I've two items for them. I nine. That
- 19:37is the form you have to fill out to prove
- 19:39that you are you can legally work I nine Iowa
- 19:43I nine. And you know, and people when people protest this,
- 19:51they're not They can't reasonably say there wasn't due process.
- 19:54This guy who's repeatedly violating the law. Obviously, he's a
- 19:57pretty rogue driver, said T sure as well. That's how
- 20:01they caught him, right, Yes, and and they want to
- 20:07these are their poster children. You know, he's not as
- 20:10bad as Abrego Garcia or something, but he's repeatedly feloniously
- 20:17state and federal laws broken. And you know that's what
- 20:22you get boring. So it's time for him to go home.
- 20:25And there's a job opening for anybody interested in being
- 20:28a superintendent of a county school's not terribly large, thirty
- 20:32thousand students, so you know you can handle it. Yeah,
- 20:36you can handle it. Some English required.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Yeah, you go.
- 20:40Speaker 4: You're gonna have to deal with the nuttiest school school
- 20:43board president i've heard, but we'll save her for later.
- 20:46Ken it's Election Transparency dot Org. You have a great morning, sir.
- 20:52Speaker 21: You do the same, Joe good Duck Here, good afternoon,
- 20:58on behalf of the Des Moines Public School community. I
- 21:01want to provide an update from district leadership and the
- 21:04board on the current situation unfolding with our superintendent, doctor
- 21:09Ian Roberts.
- 21:09Speaker 1: The situation.
- 21:11Speaker 21: Before we begin, it seems fitting to take a page
- 21:14out of doctor Robert's book and ask the community to
- 21:17engage in radical empathy as we work through the situation together.
- 21:23Speaker 4: We work through the situation. Our school superintendent catfished us
- 21:29doesn't even have a doctoral the school now is as
- 21:32like we have no record of him getting a PhD.
- 21:35So voter citizen. This is the criminal Frank. This is
- 21:41the immigration version of Frank abognail the fly planes too.
- 21:49This is craziness on steroids. But every time I think,
- 21:54as I said to Ken, somebody says, here, hold my beer.
- 21:57Speaker 1: You got to see this. Let's see.
- 22:02Speaker 22: If something costs less but people are happier with it,
- 22:05that sounds like something to look into. And that is
- 22:08meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to metas share to
- 22:11pay for healthcare can save many families up to five
- 22:13hundred bucks a month, and that is huge. But it's
- 22:15also true that people are way more satisfied after making
- 22:18the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for meta share
- 22:22is double that of the typical health insurance plan. Double
- 22:25Metashare works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members
- 22:29have shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 22:32People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.

- 24:03Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:13I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com, where

- 28:19Speaker 3: For you From Joe Thomas, it's first thing today.
- 28:24Speaker 10: What the doctor?
- 28:26Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 28:27Speaker 4: Or the doctors who are ordered conscripting the doctors? And
- 28:33ask those who go to the National Health Service in
- 28:36England and it is everything we warned about in Spades
- 28:43and other localities. It's what we warned you was going
- 28:48to happen. And you know, I was reading a story
- 28:54from Sky News how Britain's are trying to get Keir
- 29:01Starmer to do something about the National Health Service because
- 29:05they go in and it takes them forever to get
- 29:07an appointment, and I was reading a story about somebody
- 29:13who actually expired while waiting for the surgery to suit
- 29:18her up. An incision from a surgery, so they had
- 29:22to hand one patient had the knee surgery, but because
- 29:27it's bureaucratic medicine, the surgeon that did the knee replacement
- 29:32or the knee surgery wasn't the surgeon to suit her up,
- 29:39so they had to transfer the patient to where the
- 29:41doctor was that did the suturing, and in that time
- 29:46they became septic and died. So when Classy Maxine from
- 29:57the steps of the Capitol yesterday tell the reporter we're
- 30:00not looking for Medicaid for illegals, we want Medicare.
- 30:04Speaker 1: For all, they mean to take that final step.
- 30:12Speaker 4: And this is part of one of the running gags
- 30:15that you and I share every morning, is that they
- 30:19just don't have the intestical fortitude to come out and
- 30:23say it. Some of them are getting close. Alexander Alexandra,
- 30:28occasional cortex ilhan Omar, They're they're starting to get close.
- 30:36They're starting to get close. And thank goodness for guys
- 30:39like John Fetterman. Every time they say something nutty, he
- 30:42pops up and somebody on the left says, yeah, he
- 30:46ought to know nutty. Have you listened to him? He
- 30:48sounds like a Republican He must have. You know, he
- 30:50must have had brain damage from his stroke. When when
- 30:55during the election, while Memdavs was facing him and he
- 30:59had had his stroke, and if Memeidaz brought up the
- 31:02fact that he had had a stroke, you can't bring
- 31:05up his stroke. That's victim shaming. That's ill. You can't
- 31:10do that pos on your house. But now, because he's
- 31:15saying things like you're absolutely nuts for marrying into this,
- 31:19and to his credit, he's not trying to join the
- 31:22Republican Party, people keep asking Fetterman, are you joining the
- 31:25Republican Party? No, I want to save the Democratic Party.
- 31:30I give brother a lot of credit for that. It's
- 31:33like Alexander Souljhanitzen. You know, as Communism was falling, he
- 31:40wanted to go back to Russia to save Russia. He
- 31:45loved his country. How bless him. You have to love
- 31:47that even if it's not your country. I can get it.
- 31:51I can get somebody who's a patriotic Vietnamese citizen wants
- 31:55their country to do great patriotic Irishman patriotic Guyana and
- 32:03not the one that snuck into Des Moines' schools and
- 32:05became their school superintendent. This text message to four three
- 32:11four eight eight two four two one seven on the
- 32:14subject of the Des Moines school superintendent, Joe, what about
- 32:18the publisher of this book of his? You see publishing
- 32:23a book. I mean you can publish a book of anyone,
- 32:25but the people who suborned the fraud. This goes into
- 32:30what Ken mentioned. The I nine forms where you're supposed
- 32:34to verify somebody's work status. Doesn't mean you can't lie
- 32:43on it. It's more charges lying on a federal form.
- 32:48But there's supposed to be checks of social Security numbers.
- 32:51So apparently he had a pretty good Social Security number
- 32:55past mustard a few times, but we ignore because we're
- 33:02virtue signaling. This is what happens when you leave your
- 33:06virtue signal on well past the exit, you jump in
- 33:14bed with the wrong people. You wind up thinking Hamas
- 33:18is a marginalized community. So Jerry Seinfeld I wanted to
- 33:24pick up on this story. We only mentioned it once
- 33:26or twice during the news, But Jerry Seinfeld in big
- 33:31trouble and I'm not losing any sleep, Jerry Seinfeld can
- 33:33afford the heat because he was at Duke University at
- 33:43an event and he compared the slogan free Palestine to
- 33:47the stuff the klu klux Klan used to say. Student
- 33:54organizations immediately called for an official condemnation of the TV
- 34:00host because they labeled the marks offensive and misleading. You know,
- 34:07and this is where they go into hate speech mode
- 34:10again that they were injured by his statement. But we
- 34:18were talking about the school board member, you know. And
- 34:23as much as I'd love to point out how nutty
- 34:30the school superintendent in des Moines, Iowa is, and boy,
- 34:37I mean she can hold a master class in this.
- 34:40This is from Friday after they had their school superintendent
- 34:44arrested for being an illegal after car chase on.
- 34:48Speaker 21: Behalf of the Des Moines Public School community. I want
- 34:51to provide an update from district leadership and the board
- 34:55on the current situation unfolding with our superintendent, doctor Ian Roberts.
- 35:01Before we begin, it seems fitting to take a page
- 35:04out of doctor Robert's book and ask the community to
- 35:08engage in radical empathy.
- 35:11Speaker 4: Now Here in our flagship city, we have a school
- 35:14board member who is on social media, saying how.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Enraged she is that they the.
- 35:19Speaker 4: School division turned tail and is allowing Turning Point USA
- 35:23to host the Family Foundation in our school. She's enraged
- 35:28while we keep getting told by people, Oh, no, we're
- 35:31we're not supporting violence. No, we're not trying to bring
- 35:34on political violence. I don't know when Jerry Seinfeld compares
- 35:40free Palestine slogans to clan rhetoric, that doesn't sound nearly
- 35:44as violent as I'm enraged and somebody needs to stop this.
- 35:50I don't know that sounds much more threatening to me.
- 35:54Let me get to you at four three four eight
- 35:56eight two four two one seven. Good morning, You're on
- 35:58the air with Joe Thomas, the first thing the morning.

- 47:49you go there, Provowes is down the road. I can't
- 47:52drive you in Colorado Springs November sixteenth to the show.
- 47:57But if you want to go to win at Joe
- 48:01Thomas in the Morning dot com and we'll get you
- 48:05set up there. For those will be a list of
- 48:08participating cities. Cities that there's a conjunction between First Thing
- 48:13Today by Joe Thomas and the Trans Siberian Orchestra tour
- 48:18like Queen's and our friends at WRCN where we heard
- 48:22on the weekends there, So make that happen. So in
- 48:26the shutdown world, this email comes into Joe Thomas JT
- 48:32in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Joe, what
- 48:36is it with the way the left keeps working these
- 48:40shutdowns that keeps getting them more popular support. So a
- 48:45poll that said that there was popular support behind the
- 48:49Democrats in the shutdown. I don't know what poll you saw, Maureen,
- 48:55but I did see a poll that actually said the opposite,
- 49:00that there was a support for the Republicans to stand
- 49:05up to the continued spending. But what it is, it's
- 49:09it's like storming into an AA meeting and starting to
- 49:13not even storming into an AA meeting, going up to
- 49:16an alcoholic and saying, we're taking away.
- 49:20Speaker 1: All your liquor.
- 49:23Speaker 8: Gee.
- 49:23Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 49:24Speaker 4: I've never had to be in an intervention, but I
- 49:28know I have friends who have had interventions done to
- 49:33them for them, I guess they're done for you, and
- 49:41it's involuntary. You're not seeking out the help. Your friends
- 49:45think you need to stop doing whatever it is you're doing.
- 49:49So the hard part of being one of these facilitators
- 49:53in these interventions is the person who's got the problem
- 49:58doesn't want to be cleaned up, fixed up, dried out. No, No,
- 50:05I don't have the problem. You have the problem. And
- 50:08that's what's happening in the American left. You're scaring the addicts,
- 50:13is what you're doing. You're scaring the addicts. Since nineteen
- 50:19sixty four, the US government has been in the schoolyard,
- 50:23the corner of the schoolyard with a backpack full of
- 50:27goodies that we've all gotten hooked on now every time
- 50:33they want more tax money, every time they want more
- 50:36money for their drunk salor venture capital firm known as
- 50:42the US Government, a venture capital firm that never has
- 50:47that problem of having to worry about running out of
- 50:50money like the real ones do. That we will gleefully say,
- 51:06go get the money from some other guy, or print
- 51:09more of it, and we'll buy bonds later it'll be
- 51:12like war bonds, or we'll sell some to the chicoms
- 51:16and then complain when they cut off our supply of
- 51:20vaccines or send us pallettes and pallets full of dietary
- 51:27supplements with nothing in them.
- 51:33Speaker 1: Because you all you have to do is scare the addict.
- 51:36Speaker 4: Scare the addict that you're gonna take away whatever it
- 51:38is they've become addicted to, and you have their undying support.
- 51:44Speaker 1: Oh, you're gonna make sure I get so.
- 51:48Speaker 4: The analogy is storming into an intervention and saying, don't worry, Johnny,
- 51:53We've got some more Peruvian marching powder for you.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Come with us. Yay, you're my hero. Whereas it it's
- 52:01in the car, Get in the car. By the way,
- 52:05there's a couple.
- 52:05Speaker 4: Of things we need you to do for us first,
- 52:08as long as you got the purpufie inventuring.
- 52:10Speaker 1: But it I'm okay.
- 52:15Speaker 4: And that's where we are in the American society right now.
- 52:19The government had to get us addicted to government so
- 52:23that we would never ever question whether the great dear
- 52:29leader in our government was taking care of us in some.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Way, shape or form.
- 52:37Speaker 4: Anyway, It's time for us to get going.
- 52:42Speaker 19: I'm Joe Thomas until tomorrow morning.
- 52:46Speaker 4: So long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 12: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57California based chiropractor with more than three thirty years of experience,
- 53:01this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
- 53:05or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
- 53:16Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
- 53:20safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
- 53:27designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
- 53:38home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
- 53:41videos and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot
