whole thing that Tina Koteck coming out there and saying that President Trump cannot mobilize the State National Guard without my permission, yada yada yada. And George writes, Bill, Tina is clueless about the powers of the President. She's only half right about needing her permission to activate the National Guard's, that's permission in scary air quotes, National Guard's dual status starting point. State control by default. Each state, territory, and DC has its own Guard commanded day to day by the Governor under state law. Federal control only when specific statutes allow it. When guard units are federalized, they shift to Title X status and they report

up the regular military chain of command to the President as Commander-in-Chief. The President's principal statutory tools. The authority. Insurrection Act. Call the guard and active forces to suppress insurrection, enforce federal law, or protect civil rights. Requires the state's request, let the President act without the Governor's consent when ordinary law enforcement is impracticable, impracticable rather, and must issue a proclamation ordering the crowd to disperse rather, courts can review bad faith okay a general national emergency call up that's USC or 10 USC 8 12 12406 federalizing the guard to repel invasion suppress rebellion or execute federal

law when regular forces are insufficient frequently cited for short duration security missions and then there is the reserve component mobilization. President can activate up to 200,000 guard and reserve for contingency operations for 365 days. It's often used for overseas missions. They can also be done domestically. George, thank you very much.

Sherry writes to me this morning, Bill, my husband is interested in the guests that you interviewed during the first half of your show this morning, specifically regarding the theories on the Kennedy assassinations. We did not get the guest's name or book title. Well, I'll tell you what, I'll let you know about that. I'll also email this to you and put it up on BillMeyersShow.com.

And it's Robert Tannenbaum. Let me just get back up to my notes there, Sherry. And it is Robert K. Tannenbaum. Let me just get back up to my notes there, Sherry. And it is Robert K. Tannenbaum. The book is about that day in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK. Kind of a prosecution of Robert K. Tannenbaum on the federal government's witnesses. Lots of footnotes, lots of details, lots of photos, lots of information that maybe you don't know too much about there, but pretty interesting. I have a copy of it that I've been going through. It's a deep dive. It's a deep dive,

and it's, I think, one of the better JFK assassination books, and he really does believe that it's important. Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday continues after the Kim Commando digital update.

Chris Sinclair says, hey Bill, was driving past Vogel Park by the Craterian on Monday night around 6 15. There was a group of about 50 protesters, many with SEIU shirts holding anti-ice signs. Since I hadn't heard anything about this, even with my hours on Facebook, I turned around and parked in

the parking lot across from the Craterian. I intended on walking up to the intersection and chatting it up with some of the protesters. Luckily for me, I ran into a couple of participants in the parking lot with signs, so I stopped to chat with them. There was a gentleman with a box of SEIU shirts and an older lady and I asked them where they had heard about this protest. She said that this was just a small protest as they had planned it over the last 12 hours. The big one is going to be Saturday at Biddle and McAndrews between 10 and noon. It's called the No Kings protest in reference to Trump being king, I guess. I asked how I can find out about these protests because I'd really like to get involved.

She said to check out the Indivisible online. And I looked it up. Wow. There are no King's protests being planned across the country for June 14th. It was fascinating talking to her. She was a crazy-eyed liberal boomer that you see at all these protests. And I just never actually spoken to one. I just thought I would share this.

Check out Indivisible. You'll always hear that these are not grassroots protests and here is the proof and yep they're certainly organized from Oregon was it OR 10 Indivisible. Greg writes me this morning Greg from Rogue River says hey Bill enjoy your show I think that Medford should renovate downtown Medford instead of spending that money to build a stadium for the Emeralds. We relocated from LA over 20 years ago. Downtown Medford still looks kind of slummy.

Thank you. Hey Greg, I appreciate your writing. The email bill at BillMeyersShow.com. Granting on women's sports. Bill, I said this in another email. Women need to stop showing up. The boys can't compete against no one. Let the schools and associations spend their money setting everything up and then only the trends

show up. Yes, there will be a price to pay but it will end this insanity and the women are paying a price right now. Granny, I appreciate your writing. Email Bill to BillMeyersShow.com. You go to the phones on Pebble in your Shoe Tuesday. Hi, good morning! Who's this? Welcome. Hello. Yep. Good morning. This is Bert. OK, who's this now? Sorry, I'm missing you. Helen. OK, one more time. Stand by the window or something. We're losing your cell phone. I want to make sure I can hear you. OK. OK, I'm walking.

Sounds like Anne. Is this Anne? No, it's Helen. Oh, hi Helen. Good to have you on. What's on your mind? Yes. I've been wanting for the last year to talk to somebody or make a complaint on Tuesday and the Senator did it for me, but I want them to know, him to know know that when they started asking for my driver's license for alcohol, I was very upset because when I started driving at 18, which I was driving at 13, DMV told

me not to give my driver's license to anybody other than an officer. Yeah, well, and just like they told everybody, don't give out your Social Security number to anything other than the Social Security Department, right, Helen? Exactly. Well, tell the senator if he's listening, please, or anybody else. I got very upset with the grocery companies, and I started finding out who does it without asking for ID. Well, I wonder Helen, is something tells me that this is probably done by grocery stores that have been popped by the OLCC or have been caught selling to

underage people or busted for that and I think this is one of those things where they're trying to cover their liability and so they don't want to, you know, I don't know how old you are but chances are it would seem obvious that you're above 21, right? With any... 86. 86? Yeah, okay. So you're coming in and you're a senior citizen loud and proud and they're still demanding your ID for alcohol purchase, right? Exactly. Especially when that is my private number, just like Social Security.

Nobody gets that unless it's absolutely got to do with a bank or whatever. But anyway, Food for Less, Sender Ver, and Raids Market does not ask for ID. They don't? They do not. I'm trying to think about that. So as much as I liked Albertsons and Fred Meyer, I went shopping at Food4List. Yeah, I appreciate the call. And Thunderbird.

And thank you very much for sharing your pebble, Helen. Be well. You have a good day. Okay, you too now. Sounded great at 86. 7705633770KMED and my email is bill at billmeyershow.com. Linda had an interesting experience in one of the grocery stores the other day. Didn't have to do with being ID'd for the wine purchase or the beer purchase or whatever. We just don't drink that much. And I always say that we need to drink more than we do.

All I have to do is just look at the latest news out of DC or Salem and I want to drink heavily. It's kind of doing, but it's just not me because I'll have a beer and then fall asleep. I am such a cheap drinker, such a cheap drunk. Just doesn't work at a party for me. Okay. But anyway, Linda goes in, and there's a produce fellow who was in there and putting up all the stuff on making the little piles of the avocados and the in the various other vegetables and

such. And looked at the the avocados we like avocados know they're good for you right and so like 279 a piece or almost like three bucks or like two for six dollars or whatever it is something like that and and the produce guy was asking well could I help you say me I just wanted you know if I have to sell a kidney in order to buy this this avocado all right and Then the produce guy said I'm gonna leave the chain out but it's that Well, is it soft? And she said well, yeah. Yeah, it's soft like that. Well, you know get a few of those and we take We'll take like four of those and put them in a bag or something like that and sell them for a buck like 25 cents a

Piece like woohoo. So we've eaten a lot of avocados the last couple days. They were real soft like that and sell them for a buck, like 25 cents a piece. It's like, woohoo! So we've eaten a lot of avocados the last couple of days. They were real soft like that. And Linda says, could I marry you? So if Linda leaves me, it's going to be for the avocado produce guy. Maybe they do the same for tomatoes and everything else. I'd love that. It's 825 KMED 993 KBXG. This is the Bill Meyer Show.

Hi, this is Bill Meyer and I'm with Charisse from All Means. Subpoenas have to be issued. On News Talk 1063 KMED. This is News Talk 1063 KMED and you're waking up with the Bill Meyer Show. We'll get back to your calls here in just a moment and that'll be afternoons. And of course the number in case you forgot about it, 7705633 on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. No Pebbles in this particular case. It's open for business segment.

We talked with local businesses here in this particular case. Network in Action. Lisa, it's great to see you. We missed you last time around. Thank you. And tell us, give us a whole thing about the reason why these two business people you brought in here

are so great and then what Network in Action is all about. Thank you. So Network in Action is a group, actually we have three groups, one in Grants Pass, one in Medford, and then a Christian group that also meets in Medford and its business owners and high level professionals. We'll get together once a month to learn and grow together and help grow each other's business. So today we have Karen Cahoussi from BBSI which my other business, Kelly's Automotive Service, uses and has used for years. I don't know that we'd be in business without BBSI. They've been so helpful. And then we actually have my own Jay Wolfman from Kelly's Automotive

Service here. I've talked to Jay off and on for years, you know, taking stuff over there. We'll talk to you both. Hey, Jay, let's talk with Karen first. Karen Cahouzi, what is BBSI, first off? BBSI is Barrett Business Services Incorporated, rebranded as BBSI to make it easy. And what we offer is really a suite of services for small business owners that include payroll, human resource consulting, risk safety consulting,

business strategy, and staffing. So we do everything wrap around the people. Is this a way that when you say doing payroll, this means you don't have to do the standard ADP kind of thing? Correct, correct. That's very transactional. We're very transformational.

Okay, what makes the difference then? When you talk about transformational to transactional. Great question, great question. And it's simply about the people. With BBSI, our product is our people. You get local people who care. You know exactly who your payroll person is. You have their cell phone.

You know exactly who their risk safety person is because you've got their cell phone. Everything is very personal at BBSI to help alleviate those concerns of businesses. And so you also help in the human resources, the HR. Correct. All right. Now HR is a position fraught with, I guess, risk these days. Correct. If you don't say and do the right things and so you're able to keep up with laws and keep everybody on the straight and narrow. Absolutely. We're best in the business. We have SHRM certified experts that are there to help navigate all of those those pitfalls or that landmine. You know, You're just like, oh no, what do I say?

But most importantly, what don't I say? We are going to be that resource with all the state and federal regulations and those personal experiences. And what you can ask in a job interview and especially what you can't ask, right? Correct, in the interviews and in terminations, what to say and what not to say. As an example, you could not say, Bill, how old are you?

Even though I'm happy to tell you exactly right there's certain restrictions And we're gonna help navigate those things as well as should they actually fire someone or shouldn't they let's talk about it How do people get a hold of you they call me at my phone number five four one nine five one one six two six They just contact BBSI here locally, and I'm right there to help them And then I navigate with the team of experts that gets on board with them. Very good. I'll post it here in just a little bit. The other thing though is what is it about network and action that attracted you and

how has it helped you? Because the whole idea, we want the Southern Oregon businesses to succeed here. We don't succeed if it's only multinationals, even ourselves. Here's a radio station. We don't succeed with, oh, here's this like every big box in multinational. What is it about networking and action that helped you? It helps by getting to know people at a deeper level and also getting to know myself as a business person at a deeper level because we dive into topics that aren't necessarily typical for just, here's my 32nd, you know, elevator pitch. It's really about diving deep.

Once I get to know other members in the organization at a deeper level, it's so easy for me to refer them because I can now really trust them by getting to know them better. Yeah, friendly ports, I guess, would be a way of looking at that too. Absolutely, absolutely. Very good. Hey, good talking with you, Karen. Great to see you. Thank you.

Appreciate it. And let me bring on Jay. Jay Wolfman is from Kelly's. Of course, I guess you two are certainly connected at the hip here for a number of years here. Jay, I've talked to you so many times like, okay, when's the forerunner going to be ready? You know, that kind of thing. But tell us a little bit about your experience there and what Network in Action has done for you. Okay. Network in Action has been an extremely amazing thing. It's building of relationships with business professionals from across the spectrum of all different kinds of businesses who share very like values in doing business,

people who have very high integrity, people you can get to know, like, and trust very well. And it's building relationships for the purpose of building businesses. You're naturally going to refer someone that you absolutely like, you absolutely trust, and you know they're going to take really good care of the people they refer you to. You're not necessarily refer someone that you absolutely like, you absolutely trust, and you know they're gonna take really good care of the people they refer you to.

You're not necessarily there just to build your own business, but to see multiple businesses succeed around this valley, and it's very awesome to be part of that. Very good, Jay. Hey, now then, what about the hot maintenance tip right now? Going in, well, hot maybe. Well, hot is the key word right now, Bill, because it's 100 something degrees outside.

You get inside your hot carb and it's in the sun all day, It's like 120 in there. You get in the steering wheel, burns your hands. You push the button for air conditioning and hot air blows at you. No one wants to experience that. So air conditioning, keeping that maintained and upright now is a very good thing. Okay. Is the price of Freon or 134 going up? Well, 134 is not going up a lot, but there's a new style Freon. They decided to come out with this one, twoF that's crazy expensive and you don't want that to leak out. So you want to make sure those systems are sealed up good and working properly. Of course, you know, every time the CoolLink gets cheap, I think they have to come out with a new one. I've talked with Randall over at Advanced Terra about that all the time. Here, now Subaru technicians,

you have those now? Tell me about that. Yes, we do. We actually have three certified Subaru technicians. One in our Grants Pass shop and two here in Medford. Amazing young men that are very Now, Subaru technicians, you have those now? Tell me about that. Yes, we do. We actually have three certified Subaru technicians, one in our Grants Pass shop and two here in Medford. Amazing young men that are very skilled, and especially, they work in all kinds of cars, but they're very skilled in Subaru, factory trained in Subaru. They know how to do these, the maintenance on those,

and the repairs on those. I'm amazed how fast they can get things done on them because they do so many of them. So we have two amazing guys. One of them, Jacob, is actually a world-class technician. He was recently recognized on a national certification level and actually they flew him across the country to a Gold Award celebration because he's such a good tech. And so not just Subaru, but as an overall technician. All part of the Kelly's family. I appreciate that. All part of our family there.

Jay, always great talking with you. Okay. Thank you, Bill. It's great to be here. Thanks so much. And Lisa here, let's just wrap up here because these are people that are involved with Network in Action. You're involved with Network in Action. How do they get involved with this too and get these contacts and get this, well, this good feeling? I mean, it's, well, I guess it's just more than referrals is what you're saying, essentially. That's actually my tagline that I say Network in Action so much more than just networking. So like I said before, and like, members have said, it's about creating deep, powerful transformational relationships. And once we do that, it's lonely at the top as a business owner, Bill.

It is so hard. Wouldn't it be nice to have a bunch of peers who said, hey, I've been through that too. This is what I did. Or I know for myself, I've made so many mistakes in the 20 years that I've been in business. Let me save you some of those mistakes by telling you where I messed up and how maybe you could not do that. How to get a hold of you. www.sonetworking.com.

All right. Very good. Thanks, Lisa. Open for business. A35 KMED. This is KBXG2, the Bill Meyer Show. At Pressure Point Roofing your home is our passion. From your initial call to completing your project to standing behind...

...details at SRNNews.com. 838 open phones pebble in your shoe Tuesday. A little bit more phone time to get your concerns out. I don't know if it's a pebble or not. Ann the horse lady is on. Hello Ann. I'm always glad to hear from you. What's on your mind?

Good morning Bill. Morning. Avocados. Yes. I shopped yesterday. Regular avocados in Costco are $10.99 for five of them and $13.99 for the organic variety. Also, I live in Southern California, very close to Vista, California, which is the avocado capital of the world. And now avocado trees are moving north.

Some friends of mine are going to plant some avocado trees and they have vineyard customers that are planting avocado trees. And they have a couple of new varieties. California cream and gems are the two new varieties from California and they're excellent. And I noticed that when you cut them and store them, they don't brown as badly. Now, Anne, these varieties, when you say they're moving north,

is it because the growing conditions are moving north or that they're just moving some Some growing centers are farther up north. I'm a little confused about that. The weather's getting better. Oh, okay. All right And the other thing about avocados is An avocado is ripe when you can cut it cut it in half and then cut it in quarters and peel the quarter. If it peels, it's ripe. If it doesn't peel, it isn't ripe. Of course, if you can't peel it and you've already cut it into quarters, good luck then getting it to ripen, right? That's why you take a toothpick and stick in the stem spot.

And if it's real soft, then you can peel it. You know what I'm really happy about avocados for these days is avocado oil. I think that's my favorite aspect. I'm always using avocado oil. I've gotten rid of all of the corn oils and the safflower oils and the other vegetable oils. I mean, yeah, if you eat out, you're

still going to get seed oils and things like that. But I think it's still better for you. And the thing is, you can fry. You can fry an avocado oil. It's great. Love it. Yes, you can. I use coconut oil. I get it at Costco. It's cold pressed and virgin.

Yeah, I've done that in the past, and I just can't. To me, there's always a little bit of coconut flavor that comes off that, no matter how it's processed and to me it's just I don't mind coconut I just don't want coconut in my eggs you know I mean that kind of thing I just don't like that. Coconut's good for you. It might be. It might be. Be careful of your avocado oil if you don't use it up it will go a little stale. Well how long? I don't know I don't know the time frame on it it depends on if it's covered or not I'm sure. Okay. The cap's on the bottle. Oh yeah no we definitely keep

the cap on and keep it cool. All right. It should last as if you fry a lot it's fine. Okay that's what we're gonna do. I don't fry. A bottle of olive avocado oil at my house just been sitting on the pantry shelf for two or three years. Now, Linda and I use it all the time though. It's never going to get old for us. It's good stuff. All right. Good stuff. Thanks, horse lady. We'll have to call you the horse avocado lady, okay? You bet. See you later. Anything you want to add? 7705633. It doesn't have to, I guess it's either a pebble, a pebble in her shoe is actually something good.

The American Conservative magazine, I don't know if they're still printing a magazine, but they have a great website, theamericanconservative.com. I was reading an article this morning just kind of getting into this and I think this is some pretty good news.

It says Americans deserve answers on quiet skies surveillance. The White House is ending the unconstitutional program. Now the public deserves to know why it ever existed. And by the way, if you're on hold, I'll get to your call here in just a minute. But I wanted to mention yesterday, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, this is from theamericanconservative.com, Christy Noem announced the end of the Transportation Security Agency's Quiet Skies surveillance program, another critical action taken by President Donald Trump and his administration to reverse the last administration's weaponizing of the federal government against the American people. I applaud their efforts because it never should have existed in the first place

the author says quiet skies was an unconstitutional dystopian nightmare masquerading as a security tool costing the american taxpayers two hundred million a year and what do we get for it according to d h s this quiet skies program failed to stop a single terrorist attacks since it was created. Instead, taxpayers footing the bill for a surveillance program that turned its watchful

eye inward, targeting Americans who had committed no crimes, violated no laws, and in many cases were government officials themselves. Look at the facts. According to DHS, former Congresswoman and now Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard surveilled under the program. Gabbard had report back on her observations including her appearance, whether she used electronics and whether she seemed abnormally aware of her surroundings. She wasn't suspected of terrorism, she wasn't flagged by law enforcement, her only crime being a vocal critic of the

regime. What an insanely invasive program. Big Brother actually spying on a former congresswoman. According to reports, an air marshal was assigned to a commercial airline pilot, actively flying a plane with passengers and was told to continue the mission even after raising concerns. It's not a free society. It's security. Not a security, rather. It's not a free society, it's security. Not a security rather, it's abuse.

Good article, theamericanconservative.com. Americans deserve answers on quiet skies surveillance. Back to your calls here on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. Here we go. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Bill, it's your friend Brad. Good morning.

Morning, Brad. What's on your mind today on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday? What a great show you got going on. Man, you got a lot of data getting put out on the airwaves this morning. Yeah, there's a lot. Kind of a fire hose, everything from, boy, the cap and spin to water problems to what's happening with the Medicare

Advantage, all that kind of stuff, sure. So two things. So the first thing is kind of what you've been talking about already is we've learned that a whole lot of this organizational stuff that's going on is hooked to the things that happened back in 2016, right? So 2016, that was Trump's first term. That's when Indivisible first manifested itself, and for all of the, you know, no kings and all this sort of nonsense, all of this stuff is hooked to Indivisible. And if anybody wants to look at where Indivisible came from, what you're going

to find is very interesting, and I'll just stop that there. Look into Indivisible, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, in the middle, anywhere in the middle, and what you will find out will knock your socks off. Second thing, and this is hilarious. So the new guy that's going to be running the Forest Service has been banging heads of these guys for years. He's an Idaho rancher, he's a tech billionaire, and he's a pilot. And one of the things the Forest Service was going after for is, well, you created an illegal aircraft area on your property there in Idaho.

And so they've been bugging us. Was this, in other words, a landing strip that he had on his property? Well, I don't know if it's a landing strip or a helipad. I don't know if it's a helipad, which can be very small, or if it's a full-on landing strip that might be a thousand feet long, I don't know. But it's out in the forest of Idaho, but this is something that the Forest Service, and I want to say it's not the Forest Service, it's this amorphous agency, but the people

leading the Forest Service have a very particular agenda. A lot of them do. I don't want to throw rocks at anybody in particular, but this is the kind of stuff where you see President Trump finding people that have interface with these organizations that they're running. So these are people that they know what the problems are and by golly they're gonna fix them. But I just think this is hilarious. The guy's name is Michael Boren. He's an Idaho rancher and he's the guy and he's been banging heads with these guys for years and now he's going to be running the whole thing.

I think that's just hilarious. There is a big push here on speeding up all sorts of permitting from the federal government. I don't have time to really touch on it today. I think I'm going to have to dig it out more tomorrow. But it was something that I got from having to do... it's kind of related to what you were talking about. And the DailyReckoning.com had a piece out here about reforms, breaking open the mining and natural resources logjam. And you would probably be aware of this and how sometimes you would have to deal with permitting processes for 16, 17 different agencies.

And in essence, you couldn't invest, you know, you wanted to have a rare earth mine so that we could make electric car motors and superconductors and all sorts of other things like that and not buy them from China, you know, that sort of thing. It could take 16, 17 years to get the permitting to make it happen. Yeah. And the Trump administration is busting that open to, and it's not about ignoring the environmental laws, but it's about making everything accountable. And if an agency won't actually investigate and do the permitting, then they're going to just be leapt over. It's like, do your job and get the permitting, then they're gonna just be left over. It's like, do your job and get the permitting done.

It's not about ignoring environmental law at all, but the environmental regulatory agencies have gotten to the point where they didn't wanna give anybody a permit, so they just dragged their feet. And so the investors leave, and then nobody will mind the rare earths or the copper or whatever it was needed for American industry in order to do what it was. And the Trump

administration is smacking that and breaking it up wide open and I'll talk more about that tomorrow. But yeah, you're absolutely right and what it is is it's the mineral side of what they did to the forest. So a resource-based economy is based on your efficiency extracting the resource. So they got rid of the timber industry. And this is the other part of it, the other component of it. But it's the same thing. You just make it so unavailable that it's so expensive to produce that you basically

keep it shut down. If it takes you 17 years to get something built or a factory or a mine, something like that, the investors drop out and then there's no money. And then that also means though that there's no resources in the United States of America and you have to buy it all from China. Well, if you're not going to buy it from China, you're going to have to start making it yourself. Right? And that is a positive thing that the Trump administration apparently is doing, is going

gray guns on. And I appreciate that. And if they're going to do that for administration apparently is doing is going gray guns on And I appreciate that if they're gonna do that for minerals, maybe they're gonna do that for the forest too. I don't know Let me grab another call here. Thank you, Brad. I always appreciate that. Hi. Good morning KMED. Who's this? Welcome? Hey, this is Lauren. I'm in Eagle Point. Hi Lauren I'm calling to say that the Oregon, yeah, the Eagle Point City Council meeting is tonight, and they will be considering increasing costs of public safety with a public safety utility fee.

How much are you paying right now for that, Warren? Well, not very much. I don't know. Right now, they're recommending $10 a month. Now, I very strongly support our police. Our chief is a wonderful guy, Jim, and he was named Oregon Chief of the Year this year. But anyway, 10 bucks doesn't sound like an awful lot. It's 120 when you get to the year, and they're expecting to make 500,000 revenue from that.

And so I'm on the budget committee out here and we struggled with the budget.

The folks at J. Austin and Company Gold and Silver Buyers are thinking that the gold bull

still has a long way to go. Price of gold has been rising for a lot of reasons. Huge demand from central banks. The search for assets. Chinese banks have been also buying a lot of gold. A lot of Indian central banks have been buying a lot of that too. And also, the United States dollar, in spite of what's been going on here with tariffs and everything else, has lost about 9-10% of its value just this year.

Yeah, it's one of those things. That's where gold and now silver joining the party to. Might be part of your portfolio.

over at Jay Austin, okay? Of all the weird news that, and I read a lot of weird news, especially over the weekend, you start noodling around some of the ones. This one is something which just makes me kind of chuckle and it has to do with earwax. Did anybody catch that earwax story over on epic times? Yeah, it's there. Epictimes.com and it says we all likely take earwax for granted and prefer not to think too much about it. I mean most of the time, well, we're just taking the Q-tip and stuff it in there and life is good, right? Everything's fine. But now they're finding out, scientists are now saying that earwax contains a roadmap

to your health, all sorts of health data. And they're thinking that earwax might be able to point out diseases like diabetes and cancer. This story on EpicTimes.com, Sarumin is the technical term for earwax. Saruminous and sebaceous glands secrete a substance in the external ear canal that mixes with sweat, hair, dust, and all sorts of other debris. We know about this and this is what you get the Q-tips for. I know the auditorium will say, don't put the ear, you'll kill yourself.

No, but anyway, the purpose of the earwax is to keep your ears lubricated and clean and create a barrier to discourage bugs and other foreign stuff that might get into your ear. But in 2006 now, this study coming out that earwax varies between people, and more work after this landmark study finds that the earwax type also varies among different ethnic groups. But in recent years now, they're discovering a way to detect diseases by sampling your earwax. Scientists developing a new way to detect cancer using earwax. Scientists developing a new way to detect cancer using earwax, they published their

findings in Nature, and the researchers called the new method the cerumenogram. And they collected earwax from two groups, people with cancers and those without cancer. And then when they would test the earwax, 27 biological markers could discriminate between cancer patients and healthy controls 100% of the time. And the new test has the potential to be quick, non-invasive, inexpensive, and a highly accurate test for cancer diagnosis. I think that's just absolutely fascinating because what they're starting to talk about now has been the scans, the PET scans and all the other scans that were taking MRI scans various other things and talking about the massive amount of radiation

which is going into some people who are going in for continual cancer scans or other scans for keeping an eye on some disease they may have or may have had and such and the talk is that the day may be coming sooner rather than later that a very inexpensive diagnosis for all sorts of diseases, not just diabetes and cancer, but other ones, can be coming through the earwax because the earwax just seems to just have a kind of a record of what's going on in your body and it's something there which is sort of stored for a little while. So I just thought that was pretty interesting. So just look up Earwax and theepictimes.com and you'll find it.

It's fascinating. It's about three, four story deal, but it's great.
