You're listening to Weird Medicine with Dr. Steve on the Riotcast Network, riotcast.com. I need to touch it. Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho. Yeah, me garreted. I've got diphtheria crushing my esophagus. I've got Tobolivir stripping from my nose. I've got the leprosy of the heart valve, exacerbating my infertable woes. I want to take my brain out.

Plastic with the wave, an ultrasonic, agographic, and a pulsating shave. I want a magic pill. All my ailments, the health equivalent of a citizen cane. And if I don't get it now in the tablet, I think I'm doomed, then I'll have to go insane. I want a requiem for my disease. So I'm paging Dr. Steve. It's weird medicine, the first and still only uncensored medical show in the history of broadcast radio and all podcasts. I'm Dr. Steve with my little pal, Dr. Scott, the traditional Chinese medical practice.

Pishner keeps the alternative medicine wackos at bay. Hello, Dr. Scott. Hey, Dr. Steve. And she who will do most anything for a glass of expensive wine, it's Lady Diagnosis, everyone. Hello, Dr. Steve. And we have our new friend, and she's actually not new, but she's returned from sabbatical. Jenny McKinney. Hey, too. This is a show for people who never listen to a medical show on the radio or the internet.

Phonic Bloom and also you can check them out at geckologic.com by the time this is released it should be up there and I did a voiceover for him of course he's not a 100 well he's not a native English speaker so I

could never tell from what I was reading because he just sent me these fragments and I had to read him if it was because his English is not idiomatic he's very good English is great. Everybody in Europe is pretty good with

the old English language, but I couldn't tell if it was idiomatic problems or if he wanted it that way. So I just read it the way that he wanted, and I listened to it, and there's a couple of times where it says something like well, let me see if I can find it real quick. Do you guys have

a second? No, yeah. Sure. What else you got to take? I know anything in that. Yeah, Dr. Scott loves a comic book movie talk. And then he loves synthesize her talk. So let me see if I can know.

Moog Fest. Should we talk about Moog Fest? Yes, we should. Oh, yeah. You want to talk about Moog Fest? I want details. That damn Comic-Oh, Hailfire. Y'all missed it the damn last time we did this.

It was in the dark, and it was glowing. We were camping in the Wicklow Mountains. one of Hibernia's remaining primordial forests. Once roamed by mighty beasts, there are bones we find in the bogs full of black tar. The moon was full. I strayed from the campfire, hoping to see the glowing eyes of a woodland creature,

a fox, or maybe a badger. But I met none that day. I found something else. You kind of got to see the graphics with it, but anyway, I'm opening up this, box that's glowing green and it's actually the gecko loop sense, but he's doing it as

if it was an alien. Maybe you saw the leaked footage. Authorities deny it exists. Claim it was a student project. We believe those specimens were their stray pets. Perhaps not the dominant species. The skull's too small to host brains capable of creating technology advanced enough to

be indistinguishable from magic. Defying explanation. But after many months, we succeed. And all the sounds... So is this for a... A movie or a book? No, no, no, okay. Sorry, you weren't here.

It's a commercial for his new synthesizer. Oh, okay. And that's how he's paying me as in synthesizers. And actually, I would have done it for nothing just for the pleasure of doing it. So anyway, but yeah, and if you want to hear some of his things, I did a 15-minute expose, an introduction on his new glow, phonic, or it's, you know, phonoc bloom.com. It's P-H-O-N-I-C. bloom.com, the glow, the polyphonic whale

thing. It's on our YouTube channel which is YouTube.com slash Lobstah Johnson, you know, L-O-B-S-T-A-Jonson. So anyway, so here he's showing the technology. Seated in reverse engineering, at least something. Bits and pieces

slowly coming together, and after great success of the first approximation, we took a few more steps so we can make more copies for you faster. Better. thinner, cooler, sharper, reliable engine with close to zero emissions and microphone sensitive enough to collect noises from another box that is powered off. This is not your usual Friday project.

Anyway, so anyway, but check it out at geckologic.com and you can see all the visuals. And so he had somebody like make, make these fake monsters and stuff and like they're in a vass. And things are like, this is so crazy. And then he has an interesting sales technique. Well, listen to this. And I'll play this part where he says, you know, putting the kit together is nearly impossible. DIY kit may take weeks to complete. Here, an opening a project.

The master DIY kit may take weeks to complete. And only a handful of people have succeeded so far. That's, you know, great. Oh, well, I'll just rush out and buy one of those. But actually, I did because that actually sounds like fun. Putting your own effort into making Surely creates a better connection between you and the instrument

The open source nature hopes to Okay, anyway, all right, just check it out. Gecko Logic, G-E-C-H-O-Logic.com But that was fun to do. Did you do the music behind it? No, no, no, he did. That's his little box. It's the coolest little thing

that you've ever seen. I'll show it to you. I've got the version one. It's a box that's like three inches by four inches by three inches, something like that. You know, it's not super big, yeah. Wooden rectangle, and it's all basically in software, and it's got a looper and a delay,

and then, you know, it'll change pitches, and it just has it, you can program it yourself. Yeah. And it just does a bunch of really cool things. I brought all kinds of, all that shit that's out there. I brought a ton of it to Mogfest, and the only thing people were actually interested in playing with a lot was the Gecko Loopscent.

All my other stuff just kind of sat there. So that's kind of cool. So anyway, hopefully we can get them in here. I'd like to get them to Moogfest one year. And he'd sell a million of them. He really would. Anyway, what were you talking about? Why were we going there?

I have no clue. No clue. Oh, okay. I'm sure it was good, though. Probably really important stuff. I'm sure. Okay, well, don't forget to check out Dr. Scott's website at simplyherbils.net. That's simply herbals.

It is allergy season, and he's got the best nasal rinse on the market. If you want to lose weight with me and gain penis length, if you're a guy, and I don't know what happens if you're anatomically not a male as far as weight loss. But you feel better. You don't gain penis length if you don't have a penis. Oh, that's right. Maybe it makes your box make music like we just heard. Oh, maybe that's.

Okay, well, this is a different kind of box. But check out the method I used at Noom. dot dr steve.com N-O-O-M dot-doctersteve. All right. Well, what do you want to do? Let's just answer some. Oh, did you have some medical stories there?

Jenny McKinney? Yeah, so I went to, I did a foot detox a few times. And, oh, okay. Keep going, keep going. Hurry, talk faster. Talk fast, but don't stop. Don't listen. I just wanted to make, because I feel like it was just,

Stay focused. Okay. I already knew what I was going to get yelled at. But so I did foot talks. Actually, more than once, I'm sorry to say that. But is it just a chemical reaction in the water that's what's happening? Well, tell me, tell us what happened, and then we'll talk about it. Oh, so they put like, um.

Because I guess, did they, did they look at the colors that came out of your feet and told you what's wrong with you? Yeah, well, I mean, I don't. Here's what, so I worked at a soldering, a circuit board manufacturer for 20 years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I feel like I just didn't feel good, and then I went to the little salt therapy place, but they were doing a foot detox. And so I thought, well, I'll just try it. And it was so nasty, whatever was happening, I don't know what was happening in the tub,

but it was so disgusting, you know, because it would turn different colors, but they put, but I was wondering if it's really just a reaction with the, salt that they're putting in it's it's it's even worse than that they'll sell these pads that you put in your shoes and then when you pull them out they're black yeah you go oh look at the toxins so so this is how you would test this and they're not ever willing to do this first what toxins are removing so you were in a soldering place so you would worry do i have lead yeah or heavy metal totally reasonable thing to worry about when you're soldering those things the vapors that go up are not metal vapors, though.

Okay. They are, you know, and now if you're welding can happen, but soldering, what you're getting is the rosin core is what you're smelling. But, okay, so let's say, let's hypothesize that you work in a soldering place and you're having heavy metal exposure and you're worried that you've got some accumulation. So first, one thing that you could do is test that. That's testable. Very easy to test.

So we have to define what our endpoint is. And our endpoint is we're going to be removing. lead from your system. So let's test you first and see if you're lead or arsenic or we could do a bunch of different heavy metals. Whatever you want to do, test for them. If they're not elevated, you don't have

a problem. But let's just say for the sake of that it's so low we can't measure it, but it still could be causing a problem. So now this is also very easy, is you test that water

before you put your feet in it, and you put the salts and all that stuff in it, do all the things that you're going to do and test the water. Now you put your fucking feet in there. And then, you know, and then when you get this chemical reaction where it's so, ooh, look at the toxins coming out. Then you test it afterward. Okay.

If there's lead in there, I'll buy it. Right. I will completely convert and I will try to figure out some mechanism by which lead accumulated in the fat cells. Yeah. Right. Right. You know, that's accumulated somewhere, somehow came out of your feet. Right.

You know, because we do process toxins in our body. There are toxins. There are real toxins, and they're processed by the liver. That's what the liver is there for. And then they're excreted by the kidneys. And then, I mean, if you consider shit a toxin, well, that's, you know, very well encapsulated in your colon and excreted that way. So we have these mechanisms for dealing with.

of these things. But I've never once seen anyone ever consent to allow this kind of study to be done. And then they'll go, well, it's other toxins. Well, okay, what are they? Then what are they?

We've got to be able to measure it. Because if you can't measure it, then it's just bullshit, right? Well, it's toxins we don't know about. Oh, it's, you know, negative energy. Now, okay, now what the hell is that? You know, well, I'm manipulating your bio, energy fields. Measure them. Just measure them. Show me that they exist, first off. And then when

you do your fletus maneuver, whatever it is, show me that you changed them. And then show me that that correlates, even just show me it correlates with well-being. The well-being we get from these things. And I'm not talking about what Dr. Scott does because there's actually excellent data based on many of the things that he does so I'm excluding him I'm just talking about these malarkey things that are out there the benefit there's real benefit people do feel better but it's that cryptogenic placebo or cryptogenic therapeutic effect which is a kind way of calling it a placebo effect I wrote an article in the medical literature just saying we should stop calling things placebo because people don't like that yeah if you say well

Well, you know, your therapeutic touch maneuvers work on the placebo effect. They go, oh, they get all up in arms. Oh, no, it's not that. We're manipulating bioenergy field. They start making up ways that it works. But if we call it the cryptogenic therapeutic effect, I think most people would be like, well, yeah, we don't know how it works. I would rather people say that. We just know people feel better afterward.

I have no problem with that. Right. Well, it was crazy because the first. But don't lie to me, you know, that's the thing. Right, right. Don't start making shit up. Sure. So my experience, I did it three times.

And the first time it was terrible, and the smell was disgusting. It actually smelled like a metal smell, which that was weird. And then as I went back, the smell was less and less, and the water was clear. So I don't know how to explain that, because if I'm doing the same thing, shouldn't I have had the same result? Or could it just be that I ate something fatty one day and not the next? Or they just ran out of... Or they just... Oh, different amounts of salt or...

They ran out of the crap that they put in there to turn it one color one time. They knew this was your second and third time, so they were putting less crappy stuff in there. Okay. To make it look like it worked. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. I got you.

That's why I wrote it down to ask. I'm glad you did. I'm looking at science-based medicine. Now, listen, you could have failed a lot better from those. Oh, absolutely. You could. But as far as it actually... It could be acupressure or just the...

Did it bubble and stuff? Sure. And just soaking your feet feels good. Well, that's what I was going to say. It's probably just relaxing and then, yeah. There's a lot that Dr. Scott does that is just that deep relaxation, which no one can say that's bad for it. Oh, it's really good. Yes.

And then there is data for acupuncture in certain things. Like Dr. Scott would be the first to tell you he's not curing cancer with acupuncture. There are people out there that will, you know, promote it for that. Sure. But, you know, I help people like you treat. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. If you're getting medicine, I have them feel bad.

That's right. He can help people get through their treatments or just feel better. When Dr. Scott and I first started working together, I was doing primary care. And he would come on Tuesdays. And I would send him all the people that I saw that were sort of walking wounded that I couldn't, they felt bad, but I couldn't figure out why. failed antidepressants, they, you know, they didn't have hypothyroidism, or their testosterone was okay, whatever it was, they were okay, all their labs and all that stuff. I didn't have a diagnosis for him, but they'd go see him, and he'd always have a diagnosis

because people want their condition to be named, even if it isn't some Western diagnosis. Right. Could be, you know, malodorous chi or, you know, whatever. Rebellious stomach chi. Yeah, yeah, he's got it. He had a diagnosis for him. You know, their fourth pulse was, you know, whatever. Shell and slippery.

Yeah, there you go. Oh. But they would 100% of the time come back feeling better. Yeah. 100% of the time. So that's a damn good record. Do you think maybe some of that is just the attention? Yes.

Absolutely. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. Just because he really, you know, coddles on them. Patients. And I do too, but they wanted an allopathic approach from me. got something different from him. When I was in medical school, we watched a video of a guy in the remote mountains of some

far away place in the South Pacific, and he was the village doctor, and what he would do is he would talk to people, they'd tell him what was wrong, and then he'd lay him down, he'd shake palm fronds all over them. And we were laughing at the time, and then they knew we would because, oh, you know, how quaint, you know, but that person was fulfilling the same societal role. that we do as high priests and priestesses of Western medicine. You know, that you are, and that's why doctors who have a bad bedside manner or minimize their patient's complaints get bad reviews on health grades and stuff,

because what people are looking for is to be heard and to be seen, to be seen as human beings and to be, and to have their complaints heard. And actually treating it is almost secondary in a lot of cases. And Scott and I both. know that 90% of all of our patients are going to get better if we did nothing. Anyway, right. It's that 10% where we really can do stuff. He's got his 10% that he can do things that I can't do, and I've got my 10%, I can do things

that he can't do. But anyway, yeah, so it is very interesting, you know, and so I have no doubt that you felt better after having that done. I'm looking at a science-based medicine. This is one of my favorite websites for stuff like that. And it says, you know, of course we're assaulted by toxins on a daily basis. Everything is potentially a toxin. As the saying goes, the dose makes the poison.

Some things are toxic in tiny doses, while others would require a significant dose to cause a problem. Even water is toxic at a high enough dose. Like 10 liters a day, you can kill yourself. So the natural world basically wants to kill us. Plants evolve toxins to protect themselves from being eaten. And that's why animals evolve mechanisms to process and remove toxins that get into their system. So our primary function of our livers, which are giant chemical factories, is to filter out anything particularly toxic from the blood, metabolize it, and then excrete it, either through

the feces or urine. Okay, toxins are filtered from the blood from the kidneys, as we already mentioned, and a healthy liver and a pair of kidneys are all most of us need to sufficiently detox. So now, if they don't work, then, you know, or if you ingest a poison, that's a whole of the thing. So now, the detox scam is hijacked for clever marketing worthless products and treatments like much of what happens under the umbrella of so-called alternative medicine. A successful marketing slogan is more important than science or evidence. Detox is frequently attached to many dupious treatments as hand-waving explanation for how they

allegedly work. And so some detox treatments include coffee enemas with the idea that toxins get clogged up in the colon. I'm sorry. Coffee, animal? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's one.

So you're going to be up for a week, but your B-hole will be cleaned out. There you go. And here you go. You can also detox. And by which, he says, by which I mean, waste your time and money accomplishing nothing by soaking your feet in a bath. And they may use some kind of salt or even a gentle electric current to dry, to quote-unquote, draw out the toxins.

And offered as evidence that the foot baths are working, the water will become dark over time. And this is a result of corrosion of the electrodes in the salt solution. Detox foot pads are similar and often also offer discoloration of the pads as evidence they're working. Color change there is likely due to chemicals containing the pads which simply oxidize. So my scientific way, I'm willing to fund a very low-level toxicologic study. If somebody wants to say they're really pulling toxins out, got to identify what it is, and then we'll do it before and after, and we'll buy it. My God, see.

Yeah. But if that shows that there isn't anything, then, you know, if it shows that there is, then I'll eat crow and I'll start, I'll be a proponent of it for those certain things. But if it doesn't, whoever agrees to this has got to admit it's bullshit. Yes. Okay. All right. Bullshit.

Bullshit. Gotcha. All right. Very good. Excellent. Yeah. What else you got? See, you stimulated a 22-minute discussion.

Oh, okay. That's good. Did we even do ads yet? Uh-uh. Oh, no. Okay. Yeah, we talked about

Dr. Scott simply herbals dot net. Yes. Yeah. Did we talk about stuff. dot Dr. Steve. Not yet.

No, okay. Well, go to stuff. Stuff. Dot, Dr. Steve.com and get your Amazon on.

You can click through to Amazon or you can scroll down and see all the different products that we talk about on the show. We're going to be talking. Let me see.

Is it this one? Yes, we should be talking about genital sweating. And there's a product that I'm going to put up there after the show. If you want to lose weight with me, go to noam. Do you sure I haven't done this already?

Yeah. Seems like already did. Okay. N-O-O-M dot Dr.steve.com. I lost 35 pounds, gained an inch of penis length, and I'm very happy with my new relationship with food. That was totally through the new map. He was going a different direction.

Why what? Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. I'm totally happy with that, too. It's much meatier, too. It's just crazy. I wish I could show it off, but it would be a different direction.

totally inappropriate, but still, I'm very impressed. Yeah, that's a different podcast. And if you want archives for this show, go to premium.com. That's premium.com. And use offer code fluid, and you'll get it for half price. It's a buck a month for three months. That gives you plenty of time to download everything and then just cancel. Nice.

All right. Okay, very good. All right. I'll take some questions? Oh, yeah. number one thing don't take advice from some asshole on the radio very good thank you well hey doctor steve i was just wondering why is it that i always have to piss right after i fuck never fails i get done and it's like i have to go to the bathroom yeah i mean i'm not complaining

it gives me the perfect opportunity to dispose of the condom uh before we do our postcoital cuddle i just was wondering why i always have to This is very interesting. At first, I was going to tell him about spasm of the bladder and the urethra after, you know, post-coital, when this sort of thickish liquid passes through the urethra, it kind of wants to get rid of it, and so sometimes you'll get some spasm, it'll cause you to feel like you need to urinate. Also, it can make it feel like it's burning, and if it does, dip your penis in just a glass of warm water, not hot water, just warm water, and that'll calm it down and that

feeling will go away. But I started thinking about a study that was done recently, and we've talked about on the show, when I say recently in the last, you know, five, ten years, looking at women who have post, or I'm sorry, coital incontinence. These are so-called squirters. Women can either have female ejaculation or they can have coital incontinence. And coital incontinence, people will say, well, it's quote unquote, just piss. It's not just

piss, though. It is fluid that's expressed from the bladder, but it's not urine in the sense that we think about. You know, urine is waste products from the bloodstream to the kidney. This fluid is, yes, it's water

and it's in the bladder, but it's not waste products from the kidneys. What it is is it's generated during sexual stimulation by some women, and their bladders fill up ultra-quick with this very dilute water solution. And there's almost no urea in it.

That's why people say, no, I know it's not pissed because it doesn't taste like I would think piss would taste like. It's almost all free water. Now, we know from talking on this show over the years that men and women are basically the same damn thing, you know, as far as genetically,

genetically all of our chromosomes except for one are the same. And that's why men have nipples and women have nipples and men have prostates and women have skein's glands. You know, there are just a few things that are that differentiate us besides all the, you know, you know, men are sane and women are crazy as fun. And there you go. I gave that to myself. I gave that to myself. Right. Gave that to myself.

2019. All right, Harvey. But anyway. So the, so I thought. that maybe there are some men that have the same issue that when they get sexual stimulation, they would form this highly dilute urine, and they would need to urinate afterward because men have a mechanism to keep them from just discharging fluid during intercourse. You know, it's really hard to urinate when you've got a fully erect penis because there's a mechanism

that just shuts down the communication between the bladder and the urethra at that point. Because that's not advantageous to procreation is to be washing out the semen that you're putting in there. Because we forget that sex was actually designed for procreation. We forget that. Most of the time we're having sex is just fun. It feels good. But, you know. But, yeah, that's right.

Wait, wait, well, oh, shoot. I see I've lost the music. Oh, there it is. There you go. That's better. So sex is actually designed for procreation, so there are physiologic things that are also designed to kind of, and when I say designed, I'm using that word very loosely, that function to promote that. And one of those is not being able to urinate inside a female while you're also

trying to, you know, impregnate them because it would just, it acts like a douche and it would decrease the semen load and all that stuff. And so that's just sort of my hypothesis, why it's so hard to urinate when you've got a fuller action, but... Then she'd punch you in the nose. Yeah, I was going to say... Yeah, it'd just be gross. Unless they're a squirder, and then

they wouldn't know the difference. Oh. And don't you think, though, Dr. Steve from in, though, with the, because you don't, you have all that pressure built up back into the bladder and the prostate's kind of choked off. When it all finally does relax, there probably is a bit of a vacuum. where the urine does want to come out

and there's probably some residual semen left over in your eithrom. Yeah, and you're washing it out, and you're washing it out. You've got to go pee-pee. But I think some of these men, you know, may have that same reaction that they're developing very dilute urine

in their bladders and that just needs to be discharged afterward. And that would be very easy to test to just have them pissed before empty their bladder and then have the The way they did this study was they actually had an ultrasound on these women while they were being railed by a dildo, and then they could watch the fluid accumulating in the bladder, which what a study that was, you know?

It's all about the fluid. Yeah, it's for science. And, yeah, so, but you could do the same thing in these dudes, too. You know, you'd have to, you know, attach an ultrasound to the abdomen right over where the bladder is and see if it fills up. and then have them piss afterward and see if the specific gravity is close to water, you got it. That's basically a done deal. And that would be, I want that called the Dr. Steve phenomenon because, to my knowledge, I'm the only person that's ever hypothesized that. Well, we need to test that.

Yeah. We need dudes that have that. We need this guy to call back in and see if he's willing to do this study. And we would have an N of one, but if we could find some other people. Right. You know, anyway, all right, because men are very much like women in that regard. All right. Hey, Dr. Steve.

I'm getting a girl who's got tritinal neuralgia, and I'm curious if you'd be interested in doing a show on it. It's a pretty painful disease. It's also known as, in some circles, as the suicide, it's extremely painful. It affects a lot of people. And it's something you're interested in. Give me a call. I can pick you in contact with her. Okay.

So she has trigeminal neural neuralgia. This is a really unfortunate thing. It's a bugger. It sucks. So it's a chronic condition. It affects a thing called the trigeminal nerve, is in the face. And it carries sensation from your face to your brain.

And if you have this trigonal neuralgia, even if it's just wind blowing across it, like you heard on Jenny's microphone when she moved, that can be enough to stimulate it. And it just sends excruciating pain signals to the brain. And it's treatable, but it can be difficult to treat. Oh, yeah. So I know Dr. Scott sees some of these folks. A lot of them. there's a certain percentage of people

will respond to a anti-seizure medication called carbamazapine. And when it works, it's like magic. Yes. But it doesn't work all the time. But you've got to try it. You get that and neronton too is used quite often.

Yeah, a gapotenton. Yeah, penton can be really beneficial. So carbamazapine basically just quiets down those nerve fibers. Think of

But, like, you know, this excessive sending of nerve signals is sort of like a seizure, sort of, you know. So you're stabilizing that membrane and stopping it from sending too many signals to the brain. And so maybe 25 to 50 percent of people will benefit from that. And the ones that don't, you know, you can do Botox, Botox. And just for wrinkles, it also decreases the sending of pain fibers. And it'll work for up to four months at a time. and if you do it three or four times, you may not need to do it anymore.

Now, you may get a droopy face when that happens, but most of those people would accept a droopy face in return for not having this excruciating pain. Yeah, the other thing is we'll do a lot of interventional stuff and certainly the acupuncture and any kind of injections into that trigeminal nerve or around that ganglia can be really, the patients are always,

very, very, very frightened that it's going to make it worse. Yeah. And I certainly don't blame them, but what we do with the acupuncture is actually I put needles in the faces around all the distributions of the nerve. Yeah, so you're not putting them right in the nerve. Not right in the nerves. Then I put electrical stimulation to it, so we create a, we overwhelm the system. Yeah.

Shuts down the nerve firing, and I'll tell you what. AKA counter stimulation. Yeah, well, it's the, it's called the fatigue gated channel theory. Cool. That we just, we overwhelm the dorsal part of the spinal. I'll tell you what, if it's either acupuncture. They've even pronounced it right, too. No, I think.

After all these. He watched YouTube last night. That's right, yeah, I was watching YouTube on that. But, you know, it's either that, Dr. Stephen, sometimes we'll actually have to do some neurosurgery. Do you get lasting, really, from that? Oh, man, you'd be shocked. I mean, I've had people. No, I actually wouldn't be shocked.

Yeah, you literally come into me crying and screaming and pain. And that's awesome. Normal. So she needs to try that. She's got to find a DOM, somebody that didn't just go to a two-week acupuncture course. It's got to experience with the trigonal nerve because it's really, it's really difficult. They can do a surgery, as you were getting ready to say, microvascular decompression is the thing.

And then they can do gamma knife, too. This is a brain stereotyptic radio surgery. And they direct a focused dose of radiation to the root of the trigeminal nerve. And, you know, it knocks it out. I would try the lesser of the... Yes. Oh, that's the last resort. Those are typically the very last resort.

They get facial numbness from that, but the vast majority of people will get relief from that. Right. So if she's done all this other stuff, you know, I would do... If they haven't done the acupuncture, hell, try it. Try it. It's going to cost you $100, and it may really give you some relief, and then you've got these other things that you can do. All right.

That is, you know, that's a horrible. That's a tough deal. All right. Let's do this one. Hey, Dr. Steve. This is Rob from Virginia. First off, I just want to say I purchased one of the Navaj systems from your stuff.com. And it's fantastic.

It's one of the greatest inventions in the world. I'm breeding better. I can smell better. It's fantastic. Thank you for the recommendation. You're welcome. I do have a question, though. And as always, because Dr. Scott,

always gets freaked out. That's also a last resort. Try going to stuff, or simplyerbils.net, and try his nasal rinse first. Do whatever works. But in the end, do whatever works. And if the Navaj is the thing, I'm telling God, it's the greatest thing in the world. The problem is sweating in certain areas, specifically the undercarriage or the taint, as well as my feet. I try cleaning it numerous times throughout the day using different powders to.

absorb some of the moisture and nothing has seemed to to help it out. That's a problem with powder. You know, if you're using fresh balls, which is tapioca powder, and it's very absorbent, it's in a really volatile liquid and you rub it on, it kind of burns a little bit because I don't know what the volatile liquid is. It burns good, though. I like it. And then when it goes away, it leaves you with this coating of tapioca powder.

And it is great for chafing and stuff like that. But if you're just sweating, there's no amount of powder is going to be able to soak all that up. That's the problem. So he's absolutely right on that. I was wondering if you had any recommendations. Oh, of course. Okay. So, yeah, a genital sweating is called genital hyperhydrosis.

And you can get hyperhydrosis any part of your body. Scalp, underarms, hands, stuff like that. And it's often hereditary. and if you have genital hyperhidrosis, usually there's going to be somebody else has it as well or has hyperhidrosis. It'll get worse with exercise, anxiety, stuff like that. And what we recommend for that is this stuff called dingo dust.

And dingo dust, you can get it at, I'm going to put it up at stuff.com, but you can just go to, I think it is clema or clima, on K-L-I-M-A.com. Just search for dingo dust. You'll find it. And it's an actual genital antiperspirin. It's a powder, and it has the aluminum hypochlorite in it or whatever it is.

Let me see what's in it. Because that's the only thing that really works to stop sweating other than using iontophoresis. And we have those devices, too. You pass a current through your hands, and somehow it stops them from sweating. It's harder to put your junk, and I'm not putting my damn junk in an electrical field. In a physical therapy office. No, no, well, but you can buy them. You can go to stuff dot Dr. Steve.com and get you a dang iontapheresis machine if it's underarms, hands, or feet.

But don't do it on your scalp. That's stupid, and don't do it on your nuts. Okay, so let's see what's in this stuff. Oh, come on, where's the ingredients? Okay, aluminum chlorhydrate. And it also has talcorn starch lemon powder, so you get that lemony fresh feeling. Oh, so it's clean.

El Antoine. That comes from placentas, doesn't it? I don't know. Organic lavender powder. Ooh. Oh, calm down. And then, of course, Bismith Oxfell. Cicloride. That's abysmuth is a mineral that has a high surface area. It's very absorbent.

So, anyway, okay, dingo dust. Try that. Let us know. And, you know, if you're worried about aluminum, I don't know what to tell you. That's really the only thing that's out there that's an antiperspirant. There's lots of deodorants out there, but if you're perspiring or not, you're going to stink no matter how much you try to cover it up with just a smelly thing. So, all right. All right. Let's do one more. Oh, we got one for. Dr. Scott. And I'll get the music started. Do it. All right.

Well, uh-oh. Oh, for God's sake. All right. Strike it to the man. No, I'm a dummy. Let's see if I can fix this. I've got to rename it and I've got to put MP3 after it. Why wouldn't it know that? Dot MP3.

And now we can play it. Add, yes, here we go. Very professional. Hey, I've heard both you talk about this a little bit, Dr. Scott, Dr. Steve, talking about a certain supplement and sort of what the likelihood it says if you take cillium husk and you take another supplement or medication within a certain amount of time they could block it or make it work less effectively. I don't think I've ever experienced this. What is the likelihood of that or the percentage or what percentage could it knock down the

totally could knock it down to 50%, 75%, whatever. Because it seems like something I haven't experienced, even though it says that on the label regarding the cillium husk and it says some other weird stuff about choking, but that just seems like kind of crazy because, I don't know, it seems like something that's unlikely never would have happened. So I'm curious about the cillium husk warnings. Thank you.

Yeah, okay. It's a great question. So really, cillium is just kind of food, right? Cillium is in metamusal, and it's used as a fiber supplement for constipation or just as a bowel normalizer. We prefer citricel cell that's metacelulose because it's less gassy. Methylululose, the bacteria in your gut can't process it so they don't produce gas. But if you're doing cillium, what you want to do is, Just go to Drugs.com, and they've got an interaction checker, and there are some interaction with cillium.

But it's going to be all stuff that would have the same interaction if they were taking with food, I think. I don't think there's any specific chemical interactions with cillium. But, you know, things like aspirin, benedril, calcium, things like that. Can increase or decrease the balance you sure. So you just got to look at the particular drug that you're taking, but that's a great resource. The other thing that you can do, if you're interested in drug interactions, is to go to e. Epocrates.com. Epocrates.

That's E-P-O-C-R-A-T-E-S. It's like EpoCrates. And just get a, you don't have to be a physician or a pharmacist. Get a free membership. And then they've got a drug interaction checker. You can put all your drugs in and double check with the, you know, that the pharmacies do in their job. It's pretty cool.

All right. All right. All right, everybody. Thank you, everyone. Another week gone by. Thanks to Dr. Scott, Lady Diagnosis, Jenny McKinney, who has some comedy shows coming up. You got anything? This one's going to be the 12th of June, so you got anything peripheral to that?

The most common of the high-risk strains of HPV are types 16 and 18, which cause about 70% of all cervical cancers. HPV can also cause other cancers, like head and neck, rectal and cancer of the male genitalia. We have vaccines and condoms, people, so use them. For another fact please say, tell me another fact.
