US Overdoses Fell in 2025 | ‘Medical News’ with Dr. Jim Keany · The Bill Handel Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Some times this was I am six forty Jill Handle.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Here it is a Wednesday Morning Hoday, Wednesday, January twenty one,
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: and coming up the next segment before Jim McKinney talk
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit about January's a little history of January
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: and a fun segment of people who go a whole
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: month without buying anything in January, and I'll explain that
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: and then then some history I want to throw at you. Okay,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: this segment, I want to talk about some actually very
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: good news through the United States, and that's the US
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: overdose that's dropped twenty one percent. That's a big number,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the longest sustained decline in decades. The deaths decline forty
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: five states out of the fifty. But there's a reason
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: why other five states are not reporting, and I mean,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: this is great news.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Now why those are that's the question.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: And there's a bunch of reasons as to why this happened.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Researchers can't say with confidence, but increased availability of the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: overdose reversing drug naloxone that saves people's lives. I mean literally,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: if someone is dying, you have an opioid death overdosing,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you can stop it and reverse it right there that
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: minute with a hit of narcan or this naloxone. Expanded
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: addiction treatment. In other words, there are more centers. We're
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: more apt to look at addiction as a real illness
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: as opposed to some moral wrong and so addiction centers
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: are popping up and people are dealing with it much
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: different way, which is great also in shifts how people
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: use drugs and the opioid lawsuit money effectively. Opioids today,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: legal opioids are almost impossible to get, certainly by prescription.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I mean it's just and when they do, the doctors
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: do prescribe.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And this is after.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Surgeries, I mean big time surgeries. And I've had a
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: couple I couldn't get opioids. And man, I'm a drug user.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You know that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: You know I've been talking about my use of drugs.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of needles and pills, and I
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: mean all.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Of it, you know, coming from my history.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: So I like medicine taking care of me, and I
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: like instant gratification, which means you pop a pill.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And so I had two surgeries five years ago.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Was my back surgery and got an infection in the hospital,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and five weeks later or four weeks later, had to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: have open heart surgery. Remember I was going on for
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: about five months. That was the issue where I had
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: these two major surgeries back to back, and so I figured, okay,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going home, and I asked the doctor for prescription
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: for opioids. You know, I went good strong painkillers, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: it goes all the way from drug killer, drug pain
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: medical drug pain medication from I just took some ibuprofen
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: all the way up to delauded morphine. So I asked
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: for some good, healthy percocet or norco, which is a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: pretty powerful, uh prescribed opioid, the kind that you used
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: to get when Big Pharma was selling it like crazy.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I got three days worth. What do you mean three
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: days worth? Are you serious? I just had surgery. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: had major surgery. Yeah, you got three days worth. Now,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: come on, guys.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: The point is that DOT won't prescribe anymore, which really
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: brings down the incidents of people using drugs because a
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: huge number of people would only get a prescription.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Think about it. Do you know where to get heroin?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I don't. I have to ask Neil for it because
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: he knows where to get it. Yeah, that's the best
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: thing the guy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah No, The point I'm making on it, yeah no,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: The point I'm making is that it's the supply and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the ability to get it has decreased. President Trump really
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: tightening the border up in a major way has had
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a hit. You've got China with trade requirements and trade
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: negotiations with the US really cutting down on the precursor
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: of fentanyl drugs. So you look at all of these
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: reasons that drugs drug overdose have gone down. Now, the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: scary part is that in the twelve months that ended
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: in August of twenty twenty five and estimated seventy three
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: thousand people died. I mean, that's an astronomical figure, except
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the previous twelve month period was ninety two thousand people
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: dying of overdose. And in the last few years, the
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: biggest hit was one hundred and ten thousand people dying
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: in one year. And that that's a scourge and the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: government has actually done something about it. And so now
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: they're trying to figure out how to deal with this
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: on a much more micro level, and cities and states
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: and counties you see drug treatment programs having expanded, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: that's one of the big issues with our county here
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles that there's a controversy is to do
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you take money away from the shelters the homeless do
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you put it into drug programs because the two of them,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: offen are combined because many many drug users are homeless
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: people and the other way too. All right, guys, let's
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: see this. This is January, as you know, and as
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: we're looking at January, there is something called a no
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: by January, which I mean, come on, this is where consumers.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: It challenges consumers to eliminate non essential purpose purchases for
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: thirty one days no by January, which hit a five
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: year high on Google searches in December.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And what is it about?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And I found out it's a thing. I mean, as
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: ridiculous as it sounds, it is a thing. And not
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: just a few people buy into this or don't buy
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: into this. It's fueled by social media, as you imagine,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and consumers are starting the year with the no by
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: January challenge to eliminate anything that is non essential, close
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: skincare products, will, tronics, whatever, for the entire thirty one days.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Now you obviously have to pay your mortgage payment. You've
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: got to buy food, understood, But anything that can be
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: eliminated from being purchased January, you don't do it. Now.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: A couple of things about this, This actually has happened,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: and month long exercises in restraint have been known to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: affect sales of everything. For example, razors in November. All right,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: it's like, don't buy razors in November. Alcohol at the
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: beginning of the year, well, that actually becomes a no
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: buy because you're so pop just so tired of drinking
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: through the holidays.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Snacks go one down, go down quite a bit. Now.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: One of the things about the other side of it,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: where and Neil and I have talked about this the
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: most is come February and we're looking at the Super
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Bowl snacking. The snack business explodes, explodes. Every avocado on
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the planet is bought here in southern California. I mean,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: they become gold avocados. So I want to spend a
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: couple of minutes talking about January, because it's kind of
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: an interesting month, to say the least. By the way,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the New Year's resolutions, none of which none of which
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: anybody keeps. I was at the gym. The what was
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: it was that the gym was it yesterday or the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: day before? And I couldn't find a parking spot in
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the parking lot not could not find a parking spot.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And I went in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: After driving around for five minutes, I was late. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I told the trainer, Hey, this is crazy. He goes, Wait,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: wait till next month, Wait till next month. This is
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: New Year's And that's what's going on right now because
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: it's January, and January as a corollary, and that is
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: a don't exercise month after you have bought a membership
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and promised exercise. So let's talk about a little bit
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: of history, because whenever we can, are we throw in
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: history here.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: January first, eighteen.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Sixty three was a really important year, really important month.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Abraham Lincoln January first.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Lincoln
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: with Daniel d. Lewis an amazing movie, and it's about
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the Emancipation Proclamation and the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Just that issue.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: The discovery of discovery of gold in northern California at
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Sutter's Mill, that happened January twenty fourth, eighteen forty eight,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: which of course kicked off the California Gold Rush, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: it changed California history. Became a state a year later
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: because of that. Now here is kind of fun. The
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: time zones were adopted by twenty five countries January first,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: eighteen eighty five. Now I had no idea that time
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: zones went back that far. When you think about it,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: people would This is, by the way, the telegraph was
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: invented before the time zones were, so no.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: One really knew what time it was.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: All you knew if it was eight o'clock here and
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you sent a telegram across the country, it wasn't eight
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: o'clock there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And the train schedules were completely screwed up.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: And so the time zones were adopted by twenty five
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: different nations. By the way, just a real quick one.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Now Russia has nine time zones. I thought i'd mentioned that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: A real fun one is January third, nineteen twenty two.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Any idea of nineteen twenty two, that's a big year.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: King touch Oh yeah, I thought you were going to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: say April of twenty twenty two, which was or nineteen
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: twenty two is when this station first went on the air.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, when KFI went on the air. Yeah,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: nineteen twenty two. The Tomb of Tuton Common and Howard
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Carter and it's just a great Lord Carnarvon. Now the
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: lord and I always mispronounced his name, Lord Carnarvn actually
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: is the It's the family that built and still owns
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the castle High Cliff Okay is the name of the castle.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: That's Dalton Abbey. That is Dalton Abbey where it was filmed.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: So down Abbey is owned by the family, Lord Carnarvan.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And there's still a Lord Carnarvon.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And he was the one that in fact he supplemented,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: actually not, he underwrote Howard Carter in discovering.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: The Tomb of Tuton Common. Decided to share that with you.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: The first television system.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Even more important than that, Edwin Hubble announces the discovery
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: of galaxies outside the Milky Way. Edwin Hubble, he was
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: and he worked out of our observatory here, the Hubble Telescope.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Big deal, discovering that there's a universe out there. John
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Logi Bear, January twenty seventh, nineteen twenty six.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: First TV set was ever shown that was in London.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I did know that Boeing's first seven forty seven jumbo
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: jet completes its inaugural Translantic transatlantic passenger flight. That was
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: January twenty two, nineteen seventy. The reason I bring up
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: the seven forty seven it completely changed how airfare and
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: airlines worked, how people traveled, and if you look at immigration,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you cannot separate immigration world immigration from the seven forty seven.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: It opened up the sky to normal, everyday people, extraordinarily important.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: And in January ninth, two thousand and seven, there was
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: this neat little phone that was introduced by Steve Jobs,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the iPhone, which revolutionize this industry, the communications industry.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: So that's January. So whatever whatever you're gonna do in January,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, whatever you think you're gonna do, whatever, whatever resolution
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: you have, just give it up, all right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: It's Wednesday.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: In some medical news, doctor Jim Keeney, chief medical officer
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: for Dignity Saint Mary Medical Center in Long Beach and
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: a board certified er doctor of which you practiced R
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: medicine for a whole bunch of years decades.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Jim. All right, So shingles vaccine.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about that because it is are
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: people do people not get vaccinated for shingles because of
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: any fan fantastic connection between autism and some kind of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: other disease or is that just something that falls under
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the radar.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: No, it's mostly just stress. Old folks and most people
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: aren't at that age, aren't worried about autism at that point,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: and they just you know, anyone who's seen a friend
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: who's gotten shingles, they feel the misery and say, hey,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I don't want that. So it's pretty well adopted.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, on what I.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Was thinking of, not that they're going to be afraid
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: of autism, but that's that connection to autism, that philosophy
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: that's going through the medical science or non medical science today.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: And shingles it seems, you.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Know, when I first heard the word shingles, it seems
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: fairly benign.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: It can be pretty serious stuff and painful as hell.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what people describe. They say that when like their
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: their clothes touch their skin, it feels like a blowtorch
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: is being like wafted across their skin. That's an intense,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: severe burning pain and it's disabling. It keeps people awake
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: at night, it distracts them all day long. It's it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: pretty severe, so it's something most people want to try
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and avoid. But there's the secondary problems, right of inflammation
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: in your body, and we know that inflammation contributes to
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: cardiovascular disease and the effects of you know, of having
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: heart attacks or strokes. So there is evidence. It's it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: association evidence. It's not randomized controlled trials that seemed to
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: show that that with these vaccines you have a reduced
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: incidence of other problems like heart attack or stroke. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: then this recent study that brought this back up shows
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: at the genetic markers and inflammation and all these other
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: things that seem to reduce what's called your biological age.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: So that's a bunch of markers that were you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: again not one hundred percent scientifically vetted.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: But it's it's interesting, Jim, there is something that actually
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: is linked to autism for real, although you know, any
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: link to autism today seems to just fall on deaf
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: ears because of what's going on. But let's talk about
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the connection, a real connection.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Sure. I mean, first we should say autism is mostly
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: genetic We know that because when we look at twin
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: studies where you know you're either a fraternal twin or
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: identical twin. Fraternal twins share some genes, but identical twins
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: have the exact same genes. They have a much higher
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: rate of correlating autism between the two twins. So then
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: we have, on top of the genes, which is the
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: biggest thing, your environmental factors and that can affect your
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: epigenetics and other things. What this study did was looked
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: at women who, especially in the third trimester, we're exposed
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: to smoke and the wildfires and looked at them for
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the next five years to see if the children had
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a higher rate of developing autism, and they did. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: it does seem that, and we've known this before that
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: high levels of pollution and smoke will increase your risk
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: for autism, and this is just another study that shows
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: there are environmental factors that will increase your risk for autism.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: So wildfires and smoke in terms of not only what
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: is it, cardiovasculars issues certainly pulmonary issues, and now autism.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: So the trick is to get away from wildfires. Yeah, right,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: so medical lights you would give it was a good study.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: They did two hundred people in two hundred thousand people
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: in southern California during wildfires, not these most recent ones,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: but wildfire times and they followed them. So I mean,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: a pretty powerful study. But it's an observational study. Again,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: this is not randomized controlled trials, so it shows association,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: it doesn't necessarily link the cause. But with this big,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: this big of a number, it really does beg the
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: question that smoke seems to correlate.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, last and certainly the least probably, And this is
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: what Jim sends me, And this is and I don't
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: know what it is. The secret weapon to fight a
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: cold is inside your nose and it's not your finger,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming, right.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Right, that's one way. No, so well, we've known this
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: for a little while, but a study just came out
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: looking at the grew nose cells in a plate and
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: then exposed it to rhinovirus and saw, you know, which
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: cells got infected and which cells didn't. So it's pretty
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: far removed from your actual nose. And what they found
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: where certain factors. Number one is that the cells produce
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: a protein called interferon, And we've known about interferre on
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: since it seventies, and if they produce the interferon, you
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: don't get a you don't get cold. If they don't
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: produce interfere on, then you're more likely to get it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: The other issue is if you had a recent cold,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: you still have it, or if these cells have been
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: recently exposed to a virus, you still have that interferon
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: hanging around, so when you expose them a second time,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: less likely to get a cold. And then the exposure
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: during like if we change the temperature, colder temperatures seem
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: to increase the risk of getting the rhinovirus. So this
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: is not exactly our shattering, but it was interesting. I
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: thought it was an interesting study that your nose actually
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: produces the interfere on. Next question is, well, why don't
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: we just make interfere on that you spray in your
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: nose so that you don't get the cold, And they
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: tried that, people have tried that. The problem is that
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: you can't have too high a concentration because interfere on
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: in your system interferes with your immune system as well,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: so and it has a lot of outside effects. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: all right, so that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Matt, It's okay?
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Is that sweet spot that nature provides that kind of
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: hate when nature does anything as opposed to the rest
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: of us doing all man made stuff. Jim, thank you
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: as always, and we'll catch you again next Wednesday, and

  Speaker 3: A great time with Kono living in the Inland Empire
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: and making all kinds of references to him being connected
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: to the meth world, the meth labs in his neighborhood,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: meth homes that he's next to, and the reality is
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I was just kidding, sort of kind of in the meantime,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: thank you, because his car blew up, as you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: and he drives seventy two miles each way and frankly
• 20:32
