• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Well, it's time to talk to doctor Michael Cobble. And
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: good morning, doctor Cobble. How are you today, Good morning,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I'm great.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Doctor Cobble can answer your medical questions. You must have them,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: everybody has them. He probably can't tell you if you say,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: does this look infected to you because he can't see
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you on the phone. Yeah, but maybe you could describe
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: it and they say, does that sound like it's infected?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You could do that. But whatever kind of malady you're suffering,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: or any medical advice you might need supplement. I'm just
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: reading a thing about supplements, doctor Cobble, and they were
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: suggesting that there are supplements you can take to help
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: improve or at least stabilize your memory. Is that Is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that true?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: There have been memory supplements promoted for many years now.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: That doesn't mean it really answer it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean supplements can say whatever they want to say.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: They don't have to have any proof behind what they do.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Thanks Ron Hatch.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: That was orange hats h Do you think do you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: think they should have to do it, you know, go
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: through more rigorous testing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I think they should because I think a lot of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: supplements are probably don't have any benefit and they should be.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Studied, all right, Well some of them have been. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: mean I know that it used to be that I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: don't think doctors recommended any vitamins or supplements. But now,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for instance, vitamin E. Uh, it's recommended that you probably
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: take some vitamin E, right doctor Cobble.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you know a C D or A C and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: E were big anti acidant supplements, and beta keroteene, for example,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: show to increase in lung cancer. I think C is
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: good for the immune system that you should get it
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: naturally through your diet. There is a nutritional supplement called
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: sarah folan nac which has been shown to improve memory
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: through registered studies. But I don't know if E. I'm
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: not a huge fan of E.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I like D.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I think vitamin D is really important for muscles, memory, joints,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and bones, and most of us don't get enough D
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in our diet.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: We have a call online one let's go to uh
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Jed Hello.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Jed by Jed Ali. How's it going good? What's your question?
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I'm wondering what the signs and symptoms are of a.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Black widow bite.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So you got bit by you got bit by something
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and you you don't know what it was I got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: bit by something.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We could have been a normal spider, but I have
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: seen black widows in the fire the woodpile before, so yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, and typically you get some necrosis or death
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of the tissue around where the black widow bite is.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I think some people can get abdominal cramping or abdominal
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: symptoms as well, but I yeah, that's a toughie. You know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: most people are not are not severely affected by that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: But again, stomach problems, muscle problems, and again, usually kind
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of necrosis or death of the tissue around where the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: black widow bites you.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: How long ago did this bite you?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's about three days ago and it's been like pretty
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: swollen since then.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But I'm not seeing any symptoms of that, and no debt. No,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the tissue isn't kind of dying around it, just it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: just red and swollen. There's red and swollen.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And again, if it doesn't get beefy
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: fire engine red, it's probably just a normal reaction. But
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: if it gets beefy fire engine red and it's spreading,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: then you've got a bacterial infection there and you need
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: an antibiotic for it. But typically you can treat spider
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: bites or mosquito bites or any uh, any of those
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: types of bites. Just with local you know, soap and water.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: All right, rub some dirt on it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We used we used to. We used to spin on
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: half a potato and then rub it with that half
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of potato. Spin on it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: All right, Thanks Jazz. Later, let's go to Brianna. Hello, Brianna, Hello.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: I wanted to just ask the general question of medical research.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: I google things all the time for my kids, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: I want to know where.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: It's a good place that you can actually trust on
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: the internet.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: A source, a source for what for like medicines?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you want from this?
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: Just general medical research on Yeah, like theres like vitamins
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: book you guys were talking about earlier that I want
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: to do background checkers cum first.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I like the med p U B M. E. D.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's kind of the official website for the National Health
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Institute of Health and you can google or search anything
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: on there. That's my favorite.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm bookmarking that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go, and then turn it. I was.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I was at a medical office yesterday and they had
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a website that they recommended. I can't remember the name
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of it. But there are some great websites that you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: can you know, Mayo Clinic's really good.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: They're a lot of different male clinics, a good one.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: All right. If you go to web md, can you
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and you put in your symptoms every time, it'll come
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: up cancer if.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: You if you do it between midnight and six am,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: that's the worst part, the worst worst.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Doctor Michael Cobble is on the line. He can answer
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: your questions. Been bit by a spider? You could help,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But we see that who is this Mark?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Mark is on the phone.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark. Yeah, Hi, Mark, thanks for holding
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: on there. What's your question?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: That was quite a long advertisement break.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was, but but that's how we get paid you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was actually shorter than it should be. But
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: that's another story.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Mark, what's your question?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: My question is, well, look, my scenario is I've got
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: a close friend or relative that is coming off of
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: chemo treatment, just had a round with colon cancer and
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: got some good results after that after that treatment, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: now he just broke his foot, has a list rank
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: fracture or injury, which is kind of like a dislocation,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: fracture and tendon damage. So I'm curious, what's the best
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: course of action did to care for a man who's
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: you know, recently out of chemo treatment, got a broken
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: foot and also has a you know, at risk of
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a heart attack as well.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Oh geez, be really nice to it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, I mean hopefully you know, physical therapy, home health,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you know, someone nursing people that can help around there.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: With the lis Prank fracture, I would presume that the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: dietrist is managing that and has them in a boot
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: or in a little scooter so they can get around.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: But for the.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Cardiac pardiovascular risk, I think being on cholesterol medications and
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of course blood pressure medications. Usually Liz Frank fractures a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: little more common in people with diabetes, so I certainly
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: would have am tested for diabetes as well, because there
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: would be different treatments that would be required. Vitamin D
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: again is really important for those healing those tendons and ligaments.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So five ten thousand units a day of vitamin D
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and good Mediterranean nutrition.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Does this? Does this person live with you? They do? Yeah?
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Well, I they're also native American of the day was.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I listen. What I would do is
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: make sure that you fluff up the pillows on the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: couch and make sure he has a remote to watch
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: TV and ask and continually ask him if he needs anything.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, you're.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Well sorry, that's a lot to deal with, and caretaking
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: people in that situation as hard as hard.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So take care of yourself.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Doctor Capple mentioned home healthcare nurses. Have you looked into
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that for anybody coming in periodically to help.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I haven't looked into it yet, but I mean I've
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I've got friends in a pretty good support system. You know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: they're from South Dakota and new to the area, so
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: you know they're they're meeting new people and getting to
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: know their surroundings a little bit.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But there you go.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: You know, home health care and a bad option.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, look into that. All right, Thank you, Thank you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Do we have any text We do have some text questions.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Let's see, good morning doctor.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Are there any over the counter testosterone supplements that you
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: would recommend?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Not that I'm aware of, you'll get.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: The real stuff.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You hear about them. You hear about them all the time.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: They're trying to sell you pills.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: That are too Yeah, but none that I've seen that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: have been medically tested. That actually really supplement or help
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: raise testosterone. But I think those products have been promoted
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: for twenty or thirty years.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, track the trash man rights. Just seen
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: a story on the news about too much turmeric causing
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: liver damage. What is the daily recommended dose of turmeric?
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: I don't think you should be taking it as a subset.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Do you.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Well, it's supposed to be an anti inflammatory.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I think they say, yeah, yeah, it's pretty common, it's
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: pretty popular, and I don't know if it comes in
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a four hundred milligram dose. I think my wife's taking
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it at different times. I think, like anything that you
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: put in your mouth that has the risk of affecting
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the liver or the kidney or the stomach or different
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: organ systems. I do allergy testing and I occasionally see
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: people that are allergic to tameric. So I think if
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: you start it and you don't feel good, you probably
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: skip bloodwork or just stop it. But I imagine it
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: comes in a former milligram dose.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Ye like that? All right?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go to Naomi.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I am hi there, Naomi. Hello, what's your question?
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Helloha?
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: So we were in Lake Powell and I was trying
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: one of those. I can't remember what they're called, but
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: it's like a chair that you sit on kind of
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: like outside of the water, and you're being pulled like
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: you're in a wake or like your wickboard. Yes, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: I fell, and I bruised my ribs real good, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: I got kind of that Lake Powell drainage where you
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: just drain all of the lakes from your body and
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: you're coffee a ten. And that just like completely like
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: made it worse. And so my question is how do
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: I what do I do for bruise rips? And is
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: there anything that heals it or do you just have
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: to let time heal it?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, time usually two to twelve weeks. If you're lucky,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it'll be better in two to six weeks. I think
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: an analgesic anti inflammatory could give you some relief. So
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: if you're not allergic to them, i'd be profen Motrin,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: advil a leave. And then if those bother your stomach
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: or you're allergic to them, thil and All is your
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: only other option. You can use thilent all with those
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: other products, but I think if it's really uncomfortable, you
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: can get yourself a little rib belt from Walgreens or
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: one of those places and where during the daytime.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But it's okay time, you know, did you by the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: way I would? So it was it lake pal? Did
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you make sure that somebody checked your entire body quaga muscles?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Make sure make sure that you're not you don't have
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: any aquatic hitchikers, aquatic hitchhikers on you?
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, checked?
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, Sorry, I didn't mean to make you laugh. It
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: probably hurts, but that so, I've never heard of a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: rib belt. What is this? Is it a compression like
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a trust like you know, go check I'm making emotion.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: You know, it wraps around here, has an elaborate series
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: of trusses.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Go check that out. NAO means that that probably that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: sounds like that would help.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: All right, Okay, thanks guys, thank you very much.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Sure glad you didn't have any quaga muscles.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Let's see.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: I have Raino's syndrome and was told it was caused
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: by an autoimmune Is that true?
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's possible.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, people with autoimmune disease can have Rainos phenomenon
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: or reinos, but a lot of people have rhinos without
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: autoimmune illness. You can do autoimmune blood work testing, or again,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: if you're not having musculo skeletal problems with it and
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you're just getting those blue or white toes or fingers,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: calcium channel blocker prescriptions are pretty good to dilate that
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: area the capillary blood flow. So having Reina's does not
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: mean you have autoimmune disease, but autoimmune disease can cause rainos.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that makes sense.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got it, all right. Getting in the weeds here.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: What are doctor Cobble's thoughts on prescribing compounded ters zeppetide.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's like it's like ozempic.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: It's off brand where you go to a firmac Okay,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: all right, I don't know.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: What that is.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So terzepetite is Monaro for diabetes or zepp bound for
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: weight loss, and then semi glue tide is zempic for
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: diabetes or weight go v for weight loss. And the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: FDA has recommended that compounding pharmacies not make those products
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and people not get those products from the compounder just
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: because they're not regulated and it's considered illegal, although compounding
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: pharmacies may not be at risk for being legally responsible,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: but I think it's probably better to get those products
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: from the manufacturer. So the manufacturer would be either Eli
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Lilly or Novo Nordesk, and most of them have a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: manufacturer coupons so you can get them at the cheaper
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: price similar to the compounding price.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: There you go, all right, thank you, doctor Pablo. That's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: all the time we have, seeing a a couple of weeks.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Be safe and maybe I'll see.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: You tomorrow, see you Thursday.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, thank you,
