Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
- 0:07Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
- 0:11Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
- 0:13Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
- 0:17Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
- 0:20Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Now here is doctor Troy.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. You know, every once
- 0:36Speaker 2: in a while I catch a title that is just
- 0:39Speaker 2: it just makes me giggle, and this is one of those.
- 0:42Speaker 2: And as we get into this particular article, I hope
- 0:46Speaker 2: you find it as comical as I do. So here's
- 0:49Speaker 2: the title, study fine sharp rise in dangerous strep infections.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Now that just sounds ominous, doesn't it. It just sounds
- 0:59Speaker 2: like this has got to be horrible. Oh my gosh,
- 1:01Speaker 2: I should be running from the room screaming right now. Well,
- 1:05Speaker 2: they do describe strep throat and strep infections, which is
- 1:08Speaker 2: at least kind and so I've seen a lot of
- 1:11Speaker 2: strap and it's not horribly dangerous. But this is what
- 1:16Speaker 2: they said. Now you think about a sharp rise, you're
- 1:20Speaker 2: thinking like, oh my gosh, it's like, what ten thousand
- 1:24Speaker 2: people more every month? Was a twenty thousand people every
- 1:27Speaker 2: month now getting strap infections? Oh my gosh, should I
- 1:29Speaker 2: like stay inside? No, No, it's nothing like that. In fact,
- 1:34Speaker 2: I was like, really, you actually wrote an article, because
- 1:39Speaker 2: what actually happened is they said that it moved from
- 1:43Speaker 2: basically four and one hundred thousand people to eight and
- 1:47Speaker 2: one hundred thousand people. I'm thinking, what, that's like four
- 1:52Speaker 2: thousands of one percent and it moved to eight thousands
- 1:56Speaker 2: of one percent. That's like ridiculous. And then they wanted
- 1:59Speaker 2: to say, in twenty thirteen, there were one thousand, eighty
- 2:03Speaker 2: two cases, and by twenty twenty two, there were twenty
- 2:07Speaker 2: seven hundred cases. Now there was a little bit more
- 2:10Speaker 2: of it. I digress. And they said that that's more
- 2:14Speaker 2: than twenty one thousand cases recorded in that period of time.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I'm thinking, that's ten years, my friend, and there's like
- 2:22Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty million people in our country. And
- 2:25Speaker 2: they said there's nearly two thousand deaths during that ten
- 2:29Speaker 2: year period. I'm thinking, yeah, that's like two hundred deaths
- 2:33Speaker 2: a year out of three hundred and fifty million people.
- 2:37Speaker 2: And then they said, well, no, that's we were just
- 2:41Speaker 2: tracking people in ten states. Well, how many people were
- 2:44Speaker 2: you tracking? Thirty five million? You were tracking thirty five
- 2:47Speaker 2: million people in ten states and there were one thousand,
- 2:50Speaker 2: eighty two cases, and by twenty twenty two there were
- 2:53Speaker 2: twenty seven hundred cases. Okay, so that means that there
- 2:58Speaker 2: might have been now ten times those cases, so ten
- 3:02Speaker 2: thousand a year out of three hundred and fifty thousand people.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Now this is not deaths, it's just cases. And then
- 3:08Speaker 2: there were twenty seven hundred cases by twenty twenty two. Okay,
- 3:13Speaker 2: so twenty seven thousand cases. Now I don't know how
- 3:16Speaker 2: you actually track that, but fine, So over that ten
- 3:20Speaker 2: year period, though, there were two thousand deaths that that
- 3:23Speaker 2: didn't increase. But over the population we could say, okay,
- 3:27Speaker 2: over the entire population of the US three hundred and
- 3:30Speaker 2: fifty three hundred and sixty million people, that's twenty thousand
- 3:33Speaker 2: deaths in ten years. Well, that's still two thousand deaths
- 3:38Speaker 2: a year, and that's still really small. And then they said,
- 3:44Speaker 2: as I'm reading this, I'm thinking, okay, why don't you
- 3:48Speaker 2: tell me, like who died? And so they started quoting
- 3:51Speaker 2: research about you know, the CDC and all this puts
- 3:53Speaker 2: people in high risk groups. And then we come to
- 3:56Speaker 2: find out that actually the group that was most most
- 4:00Speaker 2: acceptable was homeless, and so of it, it was more
- 4:04Speaker 2: than two thirds of those deaths, and of those cases
- 4:09Speaker 2: were of the homeless population. So now I'm thinking, Okay,
- 4:13Speaker 2: you tried to scare a bunch of people, and you
- 4:16Speaker 2: did a good job, but to what end. Okay, so
- 4:19Speaker 2: homeless people are like, they really need to maybe get healthier,
- 4:24Speaker 2: but yeah, they're often on drugs, and they're often not
- 4:28Speaker 2: eating real well, and they may succumb to a strep infection.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I am sorry for those people, but you're trying to
- 4:37Speaker 2: scare a population so that we all live in a
- 4:41Speaker 2: constant state of fear. Yet most of us are not homeless.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Most of us have at least some modicum of nutrition,
- 4:48Speaker 2: and we're probably not really under that kind of pressure
- 4:54Speaker 2: that we could get this infection. And so all this
- 4:56Speaker 2: then they bring in a gal whose head of the
- 5:00Speaker 2: pediatric infectious diseases at the Medical University of South Carolina,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and she says, because clinically we really are seeing what
- 5:08Speaker 2: feels like an increase, I'm like, you're bringing feeling into
- 5:12Speaker 2: this as a doctor, I don't want to know what
- 5:14Speaker 2: you feel. Tell me exactly the stats. Then they went
- 5:18Speaker 2: on to say that in the pediatric area they didn't
- 5:21Speaker 2: actually have any new cases. Well the cases that they
- 5:24Speaker 2: do have, though, might be a little bit worse. Oh okay,
- 5:27Speaker 2: so it feels like there's more cases in the pediatric
- 5:31Speaker 2: department even though you're telling me that there's naught. It's crazy.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And then now I get to the real gem. Well,
- 5:38Speaker 2: what we really need is a vaccine. I'm thinking you
- 5:41Speaker 2: need a vaccine even though there's no increase in pediatric
- 5:45Speaker 2: conditions of strapped throat. Yeah, I can see where your
- 5:49Speaker 2: your money and your mind is. So these are the
- 5:52Speaker 2: kinds of things that you'll see in medical literature, and
- 5:56Speaker 2: it is good that we kind of review these things
- 5:59Speaker 2: and actually talk it out so we can actually see
- 6:02Speaker 2: is it really that big of a deal. And of
- 6:06Speaker 2: course it is to those few people that are not
- 6:09Speaker 2: homeless that perhaps their diet is not good and they
- 6:13Speaker 2: probably have diabetes and obesity, like they talked about in
- 6:17Speaker 2: this article, that we see arise in those conditions. Well, yes,
- 6:21Speaker 2: we know that everything goes up when you have diabetes
- 6:23Speaker 2: and obesity, and so it tells us all that we
- 6:27Speaker 2: probably ought to be doing better in our diet. We
- 6:29Speaker 2: probably ought to be eating a lot less sugar, and
- 6:32Speaker 2: a lot less bread and a lot less carbs. We
- 6:34Speaker 2: probably ought to revert back to the actual food pyramid,
- 6:37Speaker 2: not the one that they teach in school, and there
- 6:39Speaker 2: should be very limited sweets and breads and pastas and
- 6:43Speaker 2: things of that nature, and way more fats and proteins
- 6:46Speaker 2: and vegetables, and we would probably find that most of
- 6:49Speaker 2: this stuff would inevitably resolve itself. But I guess they'll
- 6:53Speaker 2: continue to try to scare the crap out of us
- 6:55Speaker 2: with an article like this, even though there's only an
- 6:59Speaker 2: increase in four out of one hundred thousand people, and
- 7:03Speaker 2: probably two to three of those are homeless. But I digress.
- 7:08Speaker 2: You do you, and I'll do me, and will continue
- 7:11Speaker 2: to giggle at these articles until next time. I hope
- 7:13Speaker 2: this was enlightening, because it certainly was for me. And
- 7:17Speaker 2: as always, I am doctor Troy Munson. And remember, there
- 7:21Speaker 2: is really way more right with you than there is
- 7:22Speaker 2: wrong with you.
