If you just read the bio for Dr. Steve,
host of Weird Medicine on Sirius XM 103,
and made popular by two really comedy shows,
Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez,
you would have thought that this guy was a bit of, you know, a clown.
Got your hand off my penis?
Why can't?
You give me the respect that I'm entitled to!
I've got diphtheria crushing my esophagus.
I've got Tobolabovir, stripping from my nose.
I've got the leprosy of the heartbells, exacerbating my infertable woes.
I want to take my brain out, and plastic with the wave, an ultrasonic, egographic, and a pulsating shape.
I want a magic pill.
All my ailments, the health equivalent of 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.
From the world famous Cardiff Electric Network Studios
in beautiful downtown OJ City.
It's weird medicine, the first and still only uncensored medical show
in the history broadcast radio, now a podcast.
I'm Dr. Steve with my little pal.
Dr. Scott, a traditional Chinese medicine provider.
He gives me street cred with a wackle alternative medicine assholes.
Hello, Dr. Scott.
Hey, Dr. Steve.
And back from sabbatical, it's Lady Diagnosis.
Hello, Lady Diagnosis.
Hello, Dr. Simpson.
And my partner in all things, Tacey, hello, Tacey.
Tasty.
Tasty.
This is a show for people who have never listened to a medical show on the radio or the Internet.

Lady Diagnosis, do you have a Twitter presence?
I do.
What is it?
I don't know.
I think it's at Lady Diagnosis, actually.
That would be my guess.
Okay.
Check out stuff.doctorsteve.com.
Stuff.
com for your gifting needs coming up.
the roadie is on there.
You can scroll down and see that, or you can go to
R-O-A-D-I-E-D-I-E-D-R-S-E-D-E-D-T-E-E-D-T-E-T-E-T-E-T-E-T-ROTE, and see the
ROTE-ROTE-ROTIC TUNR, that Brian May
May said that it was something that he wished that they'd come up with
while he was still in the prime of his career.
So it's an amazing thing.
You just stick the peg on the tuning peg
and click the string, and it tunes it for you.
You don't have to touch the peg or anything.
It's really neat.
And if you think that's too gimmicky,
even though it's under $200 in that vicinity,
as a gift for someone in your family
that does play a string to instrument,
you could get the Rodee coach.
The Rode coach is a,
training
device that you clip
to your guitar or
other instrument and it will teach you out to play
the damn thing. So
it has perfect pitch and it
will know if you're playing the right notes and it will
teach you rhythm and teach you chords
and all kinds of stuff. So it's really neat.
So check that out.

By the way, Dr. Scott, I've got a guy that
wants to talk to you about maybe selling your simply herbal nasal spray.
Yeah.
And it's one of these places that sells CBD and stuff, but it's a really legit place.
Cool.
They're interested in the science, the guy that owns it had seizures,
and the only thing that ever stopped his seizures was CBD.
And if people aren't aware of that, CBD is the drug of choice for certain childhood refractory seizures.

But I'm doing one now on Asplay.
And does it increase the risk of incontinence?
Anal leakage.
Yeah, anal leakage.
So, and anal fissures.
Joey Buttafouca's girlfriend.
Do do, do.
Anyway, it's an old joke.
I think I first told that one in 2007.
All right.
So did you guys bring any stories today?
I have a weird condition.
Okay.
So this person says, it's weird.
I'd eat some carbs.
And all of a sudden, I was goofy and vulgar.
Every day for a year, I would wake up and vomit.
Sometimes it would come on over the course of a few days.
And sometimes it was just like,
like, bam, I'm drunk.
Yep.
From eating carbohydrates.
So, do anybody know what this is?
I know exactly what this is.
You do?
Oh, well, you looked it up.
I did.
You looked it up.
I don't know what this.
Okay, let's see if he can get a bell.
Go.
Otto Brewery syndrome?
Tacey?
Tacey.
I mean, I don't know.
Fuck.
God damn it, lady diagnosis.
It's supposed to be a quiz.
Yes, I know.
I'm asking Tacey to see if she can get it.
Jesus.
Anyway, yeah, it's auto brewery.
Hey, ringing the bell.
Yeah, you get a break of a bill.
I suck it.
Yeah, read the room. Jesus.
I'm just kidding.
It's, it is auto brewery syndrome.
It's exactly right.
So now you know so much about it, Lady Diagnosis.
Why don't you talk about it?
No, that's all I know.
Wait a minute.
Well, I can read what it says.
Don't throw Diana the ball.
Yeah, Dr. Steve, I'm new here.
No, you're not.
It's gut fermentation syndrome.
And so it's a pretty rare.
medical condition that causes the body to produce alcohol from carbohydrates consumed through food.
Now, I have had little old ladies that come in that have urine drug screens and have alcohol in them.
And I'm like, now, honey, you're not to be drinking no corn squeezings with these percassettes, you know.
And she's like, well, honey, I ain't never touched a drap in my life.
And what it is is they have maybe a yeast infection and diabetes.
So they've got sugar in their urine, and they've got yeast, eating the sugar, and
shitting out alcohol.
And when they do a urine drug test, they've got a positive alcohol screen.
It's always really low.
But anyway, yeah.
But auto breweries syndrome a little bit different.
So, Scott, you know something about it.
All I can think of is those ladies on Andy Griffiths that were brewing there, the corn, like the corn squeeze instance.
and they were only selling them to people on special occasions.
Oh, is that right?
Well, and then Granny Clampett always had her rheumatiz medicine.
These two gals, I'll make it quick.
Andy Griffith, they were, of course, making moonshine.
Yeah, of course.
But they would only sell it to people if there's a special occasion.
Well, it sounds sort of like some of the dispensaries around here.
So you'd have those guys come and knocking on the door to say, well, sweetie, what's your special occasion today?
You won't believe it, but it's a, it's a president's birthday day.
Well, I didn't know that.
Well, I guess you get you some corn squeezes and so, God.
You know, so Andy Griffin goes to the greatest.
Because, wait a minute.
I didn't know we were celebrating Flag Day up here.
Andy Griffith is very important to people from our area,
particularly since my first sexual encounter was with the fun girls.
Fun girls.
They say, hello, doll.
And, oh, morning.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, I just Google the fun girls.
It wasn't the literal fun girls, but it was obviously who they took the inspiration from.
I love it.
Because they even talk the same.
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah, so that was a good one.
Lady Diagnosis, as much shit as I gave you, auto brewery syndrome is the answer.
Now, it can be really serious if this happens when, you know, if it kicks in while people are driving and stuff.
Yeah, because it causes fatigue and all kinds of crazy symptoms.
It makes them drunk, too.
And then what will happen is this person, they may never drink,
and they've got maybe Crohn's disease and or diabetes,
and then they have this auto brewery syndrome.
They eat the products of fermentation in their gut or alcohol.
They get pulled over and they get a DUI,
and now I'm going to have to go testify for them.
Now, they're still driving impaired.
They just weren't drinking.
Right.
So, you know, I don't know how that would work exactly at a medical condition.
Yes, it depends if they knew they had it or not.
Right.
That's right.
I think that would make a difference whether they put you or, you know, took your license away.
But they may say you can't drive until you get this under control.
For example, someone with seizures, it's a medical condition.
If they know they have it, they can't just go out and drive unless they've been cleared to drive.
And that's a tough one.
because if you get, you know, if you get a, if you have a seizure while you're driving,
most places you can't drive for X number of weeks, and it can be in the months, you know,
without a seizure before they'll let you drive again.
So anyway.
So what they do, if you have auto brewery syndrome, is they treat it with antifungals or anti-heast
medications.
You just kill the yeast in your gut and repopulate it with good bacteria, so you'll repopulate.
Repopulate, right.
But Saccharomyces can cause it.
That's the yeast that makes beer and stuff.
Gotcha.
And it's a beneficial bacteria.
We have it in our gut.
Anyway, what do you think?
Good job, Diane.
That's a good one.
Thanks for the bail.
Thank you.
You robbed Tacey of a bell, though.
I'm sorry, Tacey.
I owe you.
I didn't know what was going on either.
Okay, well, there you go.
You're nice, Tacey.
She's sweet.
All right.
Tacey, you got anything?
Thank you, Dye.
Something, it's pretty shitty.
It's neurological disorders.
Do we want to hear about that?
Fecal transplantation?
No, neurological disorders.
That's pretty shitty.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I'm coming off, well, Butron, and I think it's made me a little bit weird.
I thought you had too many carbs this morning.
It's really made me weird.
All right, what you got?
Well, give us one of them.
Give us one of the neurological conditions.
Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease.
All the fun ones, yeah.
Those are neurodegenerative.
conditions.
I actually have something about Alzheimer's, if you want.
Okay.
I'm going to do it.
I think those are good topics if you don't have a good article that you like.
No.
We've talked about this before, but this is apropos to me, and of course it's all about me.
New study finds link between sleep issues and dementia risk.
Wow.
Shocker.
I know.
Older adults who feel drowsy during the day.
Check.
but lack enthusiasm for everyday activities.
I can't say that's true for me.
Nope.
We're more likely to develop a condition
that increases the risk of dementia.
People with the condition known as
motoric cognitive risk syndrome.
Can we look that one up?
Got it.
Motoric cognitive risk syndrome.
Do you have it?
Often walk slowly and report cognitive complaints.
So motoric would be movement, you know.
Doctors not diagnose them
with a walking disability or a dementia
among study participants
who reported excessive daytime sleepiness.
Now, I have narcolepsy,
so sometimes when I'm driving down the mountain,
I start falling asleep.
That didn't happen in a long time.
Since I started taking this new mushroom supplement,
I have not had that,
which is pretty interesting.
That's cool.
It's an actual soft drink,
like an energy drink,
but it has Lionsmane and Cordyceps in it,
and I can't remember the name of it
to save my life.
Well, going, well, while you're looking up, going back to the topic that Tacey brought up
the neurodegenerative syndrome, you know, if you talk about that also benefiting your, the mushroom
drink benefiting your peripheral neuropathy, too.
Yeah, it should improve that stuff too.
Yeah, Odyssey Revive is the name of it.
And I got it at, I bought it at like a CBD shop, and they just had them in there.
It was like, well, this is cool.
It doesn't have taurine.
It doesn't have caffeine in it.
But it's supposed to be good for, you know, brain.
rain fog and stuff.
And so I bought one, and I really liked it, and I started getting it at Amazon.
I get it for a half price at Amazon compared to what this guy's selling it for.
So I think he's buying it at Amazon and just doubling the price.
But it's Odyssey Revive, hydration and mood, and the one that I got was sparkling prickly pear.
But it has Lions, Maine, and Cordyceps mushrooms, which are my two go-to.
I make my own tincture.
And it's a very good tincture, I must say.
Have you been using it?
Yeah, well, I'm out of it now.
Oh, are you?
The one that you gave me was a bottle.
Do you use that whole bottle?
Yeah, hell, yeah, good.
Well, Tacey's got some, and I gave some to Joey Gay, the comedian who was in town recently.
Okay.
And that's lady Dye's new boyfriend.
But I gave him some because he's interested in it.
I'm always the last to know.
Always the last, good.
Poor Diane.
He was a cutie, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, there you go.
I mean, he's a cute, too.
And very, very nice, yeah.
Yeah, very nice.
I guess we can tell the story because it got out into the newspaper.
Yeah, I heard.
But, yeah, so our buddy Pete Davidson was in town.
And he came down just to visit, and he brought his friend Joey.
And Joey Gay is a really nice guy, really funny comedian.
And they traveled together.
They kind of, he took Pete, I wouldn't say he took him under his wing,
but Pete said he was the first person in comedy.
that treated him like a comic, like a human being.
And Joey's just the nicest guy, Pete's sweetest, nicest person.
And we were trying to be incognito.
And we went, he got into town, wanted to go see Venom.
Okay.
And because he hadn't seen it.
So we had a little theater.
In the shittiest mall you ever did see.
It's unbelievable.
There's no stores in this mall.
No, no stores in the mall.
It's like Spencer Gifts and a Zales jeweler.
and this movie theater.
Oh, and Annie's
pretzels.
Yeah, Annie's pretzels.
I'd like to have one.
God.
So everything was fine.
We sat down and we watched a movie,
and when we left, we just walked out.
Everything was fine.
All of a sudden, you know, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete,
and all the employees from the,
including the projectionists and stuff,
from the movie theater,
came streaming out of the mall
into the parking lot to get pictures with Pete.
And now I kind of understand, you know, he's so gracious.
I'm sure it's not fun, but he's so gracious about it and such a nice guy.
But I photo bombed every single one of those pictures.
Which you should have because he really did get harassed everywhere we went.
Even little corner restaurants that you would think nobody there would know.
And why would anybody think that Pete would be in?
Right.
And where?
Where?
Okay, 15-20.
Fix it now.
No, well, I can't.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Yeah, no, don't worry about it.
It's fine.
I'll edit it out later.
Don't worry about it.
Not like, anyway.
So we, yeah, so I photo bombed every single one of the pictures.
And so there's all these people putting these things on their Instagram.
Oh, I randomly met Pete Davidson in the mall.
And then there's this elderly weirdo.
going, in the background.
It was so fun.
So, but yeah, it was great.
That's hilarious.
But, yeah, I gave Joey some of the tincture,
so I need to make some more.
So I'm getting ready to make some.
Yeah, you do need to make more.
That was a really fun couple of days, though.
We had a great time.
And those guys are from the Northeast, right?
Staten Island, that area.
Never had Southern Barbecue, or if they had,
they hadn't had the really good stuff.
So we took them to the best southern barbecue place.
Which one do you go to?
Phil's dream pit.
Look it up.
Give them a plug.
If you're ever in, you know, that area near, like, Bristol Speedway, that's, I mean, we live near Bristol Speedway.
We've said that before.
Oh, yeah.
It is, Phil's Dream Pit is within driving distance from the Bristol Speedway.
If you're coming for NASCAR and stuff like that, and it is worth the trip.
It's fabulous, yeah.
And tell them Dr. Steve sent you.
I don't get anything from.
it, but it was this guy's dream to do this business, and he's absolutely blown it out.
And so they went there twice, and then we went to another place, another barbecue place,
where we accidentally just happened to run into Lady Diagnosis.
Oh, how funny.
So I'm sure she wasn't stalking us or anything.
No.
He didn't photo bomb my picture.
No.
Well, you, no, I didn't.
I still have not gotten a picture with him.
Oh, goodness.
He's the only one I have a picture with out of everyone that I've met.
I thought, yeah, I mean, yeah, it was just so bad, everybody harassed them.
Yeah, and then we didn't want, can we get one, too?
Right, so I never do ask.
I mean, we're his friends, so, but someday we'll get you that picture, Taze.
I love it.
Of course, everyone, the girls thought I was his mother.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
Oh, my God.
These girls can't.
They're like, you've done such a good job with him.
Oh, how funny.
Like, excuse me?
You should be so proud.
That is funny.
Holy mother.
Yeah, they were all like 20-somethings.
And they were like, you know, they were very nice.
Because they were, that was at the restaurant that our friend owns.
And I had texted them.
I said, listen, you know, just tell everybody to be cool.
And they were totally, totally cool.
But they were cute and they were young and they came out.
And yeah, that was the first thing.
They looked at Diane and said, are you his mom?
I wish I had the wah, wah, wah, wah.
But this one Facebook article talked about how, well, he must feel like he's better than everybody else.
Because he was getting swarmed in a store in our town.
And he went out the exit, the emergency exit, and got in his truck and left.
And she said, well, he must feel like he's just better than everybody else.
And it's just like, no, he gets harassed 24-7.
He absolutely does not think that.
No, I know that.
He is the most humble.
I know, I'm telling people, but he is the most humble, sweet, just lovable guy.
And.
Jobs like a maniac.
Yeah, it's fun, though.
He really, I don't want to say, he has a very unique vehicle.
Let's just say that.
And.
No sneaking around.
Yeah.
But it was just a really delightful time.
and it was fun having them.
It was.
Seeing that sort of level of celebrity where people just will not leave you alone.
You mean, you can't just go to a restaurant and sit down, you know.
So we had to sit out on a picnic table in front of the restaurant where nobody was.
In the dark.
Outside, in the dark, yeah, to eat.
And still, it happened.
They just came out there.
Yeah.
And he's so tall, too.
So you notice him anyway.
Right. You're going to notice them.
Yeah.
Yeah, and the hoodie's not...
But he did have the hoodie pulled it over and bent down.
To me, that makes him even more recognizable.
You think?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean...
Because you're always looking, trying to see...
If he's wearing a suit and tie or something, I don't think anybody would give him a second one.
I bet you no one would have recognized him.
But it made the newspaper and everything.
Really? Yes.
Not my photo.
The one picture I didn't photo bomb is the one that they got.
Yeah, I wasn't there when I took that one.
That's funny
But anyway
He's delightful
We're huge fans
And we're friends
And we love old Joey gay too
He's a really fun guy to be around
And I told Joey, heck
You can come down here
You don't have to bring Pete with you
We don't just like you because you're friends with him
Anyway
It was fun
It was fun
Hopefully he'll get back down here soon
And we're going to do an incognito trip
and nobody's going to know about it.
Anyway, I tried to do that this time.
It just didn't work.
Oh, man.
All right.
Well, anyway, so let's talk fatigue and Alzheimer's.
Okay?
So did you find anything about that motoric thing?
I was temporizing to give you time.
Oh, he was so kind.
No, you know, it's a pretty straightforward thing.
It's called motoric cognitive.
Cognitive Risk Syndrome.
Correct.
And it's a pre-dimension state that's characterized by slow walking speed and self-reported cognitive complaints.
It's pretty vague.
That I don't have.
Yeah, it's pretty vague.
Everybody, all my trainees and residents and medical students are always walking 10 steps behind me because they can't keep up with me.
So that, okay, I'm good on that.
But you slowed down back when you were heavy dose in your statins a couple years ago.
Did I?
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah, you were shuffling her only at Parkinson's.
Well, that was when I had my back issue, though.
No, no, no, that's prior to.
Right, yeah.
Prior to, no, when you had your back end, you were still going around like a wild chest.
Yeah, well, I was walking with a cane and crawling up and downstairs, though.
But you're still moving pretty well.
Okay.
All right.
For an old time.
No, but these are, these are things that patients state that don't require any kind of testing.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just, it's self-reporting as opposed to, you know, being able to, you know, run a scan on them or a blood test or something.
Sort of short stance, or I mean short, what do you call it,
when the steps that they take are short.
Well, but, you know, we see that a great amount of people that are aging anyway
because people lose their proprioception.
Yeah.
And they have.
We'll tell people what that is.
Well, properception is just your body, your awareness of space in time where your body is.
So being able to close your eyes and your body that moves has a sensor in it that sends.
Your brain says, all it does is say this is the,
angle that this thing is at
and it's not a digital thing it doesn't say
well it's at 180 degrees it's all analog
but it um and that
that's how you know
when you close your eyes I can point at Scott's
nose and not be looking at it because my
body knows where all those joints
what the ankles
but anyway that's proprioception which is an incredible
thing you think about it so we see
a lot of folks as they age they'll get poor
proprioception you'll get a little balance or instability
anyway and a little bit of neuropathy
their feet they don't feel their feet so well
And so they're short, they get shortened steps anyway.
So, yeah, it's just kind of a, this is a very vague syndrome.
Okay. Well, I don't have that, so that's good.
That's why, okay, I brought that one up.
So I thought dementia was something.
If you noticed it, you were less likely to have it.
It's when you didn't know you had the problem that it was more dementia?
A lot of people with early dementia know they have.
Early do?
Okay.
Yeah, because one of the first symptoms of, say, Alzheimer's-type dementia is a thing called anomia,
Meaning that they can't name things.
So they would look at this thing on my wrist and say, well, that's the thing that tells time rather than saying that's a wrist watch.
And word searching is one thing, but just not being able to name things in general is an issue.
And I've talked on this show about my professor in medical school who had an IQ of 220.
And when he got dementia, the way that he described a deck of cards was he couldn't come up with the word deck of cards, but he said it's a concentric stack of thin laminates.
That's what anomia sounds like in somebody with an IQ of 220.
Now, Lady Diagnoses, will you take that camera there and just sort of twist it toward you?
Just twist it toward.
There you go.
There you go.
That's good.
Okay, thanks.

Here's another new story.
New FDA morning added to popular weight loss drugs.
Uh-oh.
FDA has updated the labels for all GLP1 weight loss drugs with a warning about pulmonary aspiration during
general anesthesia or deep sedation?
Well, when I had my cataract surgery, they told me
not to take it for two weeks before.
That's why now.
Now we understand why.
Yeah, there's a safety-related labeling change for the glucagon like peptide
one receptor agonist class.
That's ozempic, ribelsis, waygovi, tersepetide, which is Monjaro or Zepbound.
And there have been rare post-marketing reports, and so that's phase four studies.
Remember, the first studies, phase one, is, you know, just proof of concept, 10, 20 people, phase two, maybe 300 people.
And then phase three is 30,000 people, approximately, you know, plus or minus.
And then phase four will be post-marketing.
That's where you have millions and millions of people taking the drug, and you can tease out extremely rare complications during phase four.
And they said there have been rare phase four reports of pulmonary aspirational.
and patients receiving these agonists undergoing elective surgeries that require deep sedation.
And if they had residual gastric contents, because one of the things is this stuff retains stuff in your stomach longer, right?
Yeah, exactly.
I did know that.
Yeah.
And it slows movement of food through the gut, so that all makes sense.
If they didn't, if they lied and ate stuff after midnight, or if this stuff's really working and they didn't eat after.
midnight, but they still have stomach contents because that's what the drug does, then they're more likely to aspirate.
So, you know, Dr. Scott, when they do a colonoscopy, they just lay you down your side.
They don't protect your airway.
They just give you Michael Jackson's magic milk, and you're just breathing on your own.
So that makes a lot of sense.
That's interesting.
Well, I learned something to do.
That's crazy.
Crazy dog.
What about you taste?
No, I didn't learn nothing.
Okay.
She already knew it all.
Anyway, all right, so there's that one.
All right, let's hit, okay, can't shake that cough.
Walking pneumonia is on their rise.
Young children are increasingly being infected with bacteria
that can lead to an illness known as walking pneumonia.
This bacteria, and it's not really even a bacteria, it's sort of, it's weird.
It's not a typical bacteria, put it that way.
Mycoplasma pneumonia, it was so uncommon.
and during the height of the COVID pandemic that one medical journal ran an article saying maybe it's gone forever.
Now, we did get rid of one strain of influenza, but I'll have to attest, yes, we didn't see a single case that we knew of of walking pneumonia.
But we were calling everything COVID back then, too.
So we may have just missed it.
It usually causes respiratory tract infections, can cause damage to the throat and windpipe and lungs.
you get a cough usually you might have a fever sore throat and all of that stuff but then it's very gradual and then eventually you just get you know this cough and no fever and no toxic stuff not as bad as whooping cough
whooping cough causes brutal a brutal cough that can break ribs and stuff like that and you cough until you puke and there's a vaccine for that not one for mycoplasma the other
place you may have heard of mycoplasma is you can get urea plasma and other similar bacteria
in the urinary tract infection they're very hard to get rid of.
So they've noticed an increase in emergency room data listing mycoplasma pneumonia as a diagnosis.
Now, listen to me.
They're using ER diagnoses.
How many times do you think they actually tested somebody for mycoplasma?
They just called them, oh, you got walking pneumonia.
Right. They test them for RSV. They test it for...
That's not on the panel.
Yeah, but they test them for other things.
Well, you don't have these things. You've got to have walking down on you.
That's correct.
That'd be my guess.
And it's not commonly offered by labs like the flu, COVID, and other respiratory viral panels are.
And so I think that this may be a little bit of bullshit.
It's just like when the CDC came out with that data and people jumped on it that only 6% of
people had COVID-19 and on their death certificate, right?
And what they meant was as the primary diagnosis.
So people, and my point was, as someone who does death certificates all the time,
I was a medical examiner when I was in Vermont, so I'm trained on doing death certificates
properly, any doctor that coded someone who died during COVID as dying from,
from COVID-19, they were doing the thing wrong.
Okay.
So that's why only 6%.
I would have thought it would have been more than that
because most people don't know how to do effing, you know,
death certificates properly.
No one died as a principal diagnosis being COVID-19.
It would be respiratory failure due to atypical pneumonia due to COVID-19, something like that.
And that's a properly sort of crafted death certificate.
So, you know, people jumped on that saying, well, you know, obviously the CDC's lying to us and all this kind of crazy stuff.
And that wasn't it at all.
It was just they were relying on data that was generated by people who weren't filling the forms out correctly.
And I wonder if this isn't correct to emergency room data.
That's not data.
That's people just going, well, I don't know what it is.
I'm going to call it walking a moment.
So I would love to, it would be a fun study, take all these people that got diagnosed with walking pneumonia in the ER, and then actually do the gold standard test.
See how many of them actually have mycoplasma.
Right on.
And so the treatment for mycoplasma is standard anti-bacterial stuff?
Well, yeah, it's like erythromycin or doxycycline of those.
So the sort of more atypical antibiotics, too, to kill this stuff.
and so that sometimes is an excuse to just give somebody an antibiotic to you.
Well, well, you've got walking pneumonia, so here you go.
Well, and I'd like to say, too, and if people don't recover from it very quickly,
you know, which does happen a lot with demonians, other things like percussive therapies
that a lot of the, a lot of times the patients aren't told when they're in a hospital,
you know, they go in and they check them out, they get an antibiotic, and they send them home
and maybe they have to come back two or three times
for more antibiotics and steroids.
Other things they can do are like percussive therapies,
breathing treatments where they have the inspirometers
or the Acapella valves to actually make them exchange
that can help those medications work better.
And help me a lot.
Heck yeah.
When I had my bronchie ectocystice
that gave me this flutter valve thing,
I always thought that was a joke.
Oh, I used it all.
You breathe into this device and it stutters.
It won't let you breathe out.
a laminar flow.
It keeps stopping your breathing,
so it's like that, and it flutters.
And what that does is it acts like percussive pulmonary,
what we used to call pulmonary toilet,
where they would percuss your back as a mucolytic.
In other words, it would thin out the mucus
and make it more accessible to be coughed on.
And it really worked.
Works extremely well.
I always thought it was a joke.
And you can find them on Amazon's and stuff like that.
But they go buy them.
They look like little footballs are a little kind of saucers looking.
It looks like a green little green football.
Which is the exact opposite of the incentive's parameter.
Incentive's parameter.
That one you suck in to increase your sort of title volume.
The volume, right.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah, very good.
All right.
You want another study?
Let's do it.
Yeah.
7,000 bottles of antidepressants were recalled.
Oops.
Which one?
Well, this is a bad one to be recalling.
Thousands of bottles of the medicine, deloxetine, are being recalled because they may contain a potentially cancer-causing agent.
Now, deloxetine is the generic name for Simbalta, which we write piles of this stuff.
And the thing about Simbalta is, you know, I work, part of what I do is work with cancer patients,
and a lot of the chemotherapies kill cancer cells, but they also kill peripheral nerves.
And so these people end up with horrible neuropathies, which is just nerve pain, shooting, tingling, burning, any type of pain where you have to use a paragraph to describe it, most of the time that's going to be neuropathic.
You know, if you have gallbladder, I have sharp pain right here.
But neuropathic pain is, why have some burning and feels like pinpricking and it moves up and down, maybe sometimes electricity?
That's somebody that's talking about neuropathy.
Deloxetine is the drug of choice for that.
And not only that, it's an S-N-R-I, serotoninephenephrine re-uptake inhibitor, as opposed to SSRI like Prozac.
And the SNRIs are pretty good for pain, too.
They help turn down the pain signals from the dorsal horn of the spine, and you have a decreased perception of pain.
So it's good for neuropathy, good for regular pain, decent for anxiety and depression.
and may help regulate your sleep at the same time.
And now it's generic, so it's dirt cheap.
So this is a big blow.
The recall was voluntary and started by drugmaker Tawa Pharmaceutical.
So they must be a generic.
They said, don't stop taking your deloxetine,
discuss the matter with your health care professional
because they'll have certain lot numbers from a certain manufacturer.
So you could talk to your pharmacist, too,
and say, is my deloxetine that you,
you gave me on the recall list.
And if they say, no, you're fine.
But they're worried about a chemical called N-nitroso-diloxetine,
and that includes the carcinogenic substance nitrosamine,
which nitrosamines we see in soot and stuff like that when you char meat and things like that.
They're toxic as swallowed and are suspected of causing cancer,
but, I mean, we're talking minute, unbelievably, vanishingly small amounts in this.
This is what they call a class two recall, which is a designation the FDA uses to communicate
how hazardous a recalled product may be.
Class two indicates a product that may cause temporarily or medically reversible adverse health
consequences where the probably of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
So they're just being careful.
But anyway, so if you're on deloxetine, don't freak out, go to the pharmacy and just see if what you have is on the recall, and they'll swap it out for you.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, dope.
Good.
All right.
Here's a fun one.
Deadly E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's quarter pounders.
Uh-oh.
Now, listen to this.
An E. coli outbreak has been linked to the death of one person prompted McDonald's to stop.
selling quarter pounder hamburgers in 12 states.
So this is one of those things.
I usually don't like knee-jerk responses to things.
Like, for example, if somebody writes an order in the hospital that they write it wrong and the
joint commission comes and finds this chart and sees it and then all of a sudden the health
system goes, well, everyone has to change how they write these drugs.
Instead of just go to the person and say, stop doing that because everybody else was doing fine.
So, you know, you're affecting it.
But this is a case where a knee-jerk reaction is apropos because they suspected that these burger patties or it could have been the slivered onion toppings may have been the source of the outbreak.
I'm always worried about onions and stuff like that, you know, fresh vegetables at fast food places because you always just wonder how long it's out there.
someone who works at or owns a McDonald's, feel free to call in.
This was in Colorado and 10 hospitalizations, so Rocco, Borough, our friend, you know, the actor who plays Tuckie in the Dabbleverse, the dabbler of the year, lives in Colorado, and he needs to not feed his little sister, who was actually his daughter, because the concede originally was he was 16-year-old living in.
his basement.
And his daughter was actually his little sister.
Anyway, he needs to avoid McDonald's until they get this straightened out.
If you ate a quarter pounder hamburger from McDonald's and had severe symptoms of E. coli,
contact your health care provider.
So what are the symptoms of E.
coli, diarrhea, a diurever.
Diarriever.
She had Diveravaravi, I'll tell you that.
She had the Green Apple Quickstap.
Uh-huh.
Green apple.
I don't know. Diarrhea.
Cha, cha, cha.
Do you not hate that commercial?
You know, d-de-da-de-da-d-do.
It's literally the worst commercial.
It is the worst commercial.
I actually like it.
What is it?
Is it Bismuth-Sumsela?
It is.
Nausea.
What is it?
Something.
Yeah, right.
See.
Heart, heart.
All I remember is, and diarrhea.
Nageo, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach.
Diary.
Oh, God.
There you go.
And they accentuate diarrhea.
It's separated by just a minute pause.
In the most beautiful music ever.
I don't know how beautiful it is.
But yes, it is.
I don't believe singing and dancing to diarrhea is a great way to.
No, you're just thinking of...
They've even got to dance for it.
Shitting themselves while they're dancing.
That's what I'm saying.
It's ridiculous.
It's worse.
Anyway, confirmed cases span 10 states, the most recent being reported in Colorado.
So this is really where our food.
supply. It can't be perfect, but they respond to this stuff really quickly. And we have the
safest food supply in the world. And even then, stuff like this happened. So just a few people
got sick. One person tragically died from this, but they're on it. So McDonald's stopped
selling quarter-pounders and all of its restaurants in Colorado, Kansas, Utah, and Wyoming.
and this is being recorded November 9th, 2024.
And some of the Chains Restaurants in eight other states
removed the menu item.
And this would be Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
All right.
The initial findings for the investigation indicate
a subset of illnesses may be linked to slivered onions
used in the quarter pounder
and sourced by a single supplier that serves three
Distribution Center, so they just, they're working on it.
Okay.
All right.
So that's the correct response to that.
And don't eat onions with your quarter-pounder anyway.
Why do we have to have onions in everything?
It's young.
Because they're free.
Oh, is that what it is?
I swear that.
Because they're in everything.
I mean, people put onions in, like, chicken salad, and it's just like, why are you doing that?
And then coleslaw could stop it.
I can't eat that shit.
And, of course, it's, again, it's all about me.
All right.
And then the last one I'm going to read, because this is also applies to us, scientists are linking more diseases to lights at night.
Okay.
So it's the night sky over the North America has been growing brighter by 10% per year.
I know as an amateur astronomer, light pollution is a problem.
But more and more research is linking all that light pollution to a surprising range of health consequences,
including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even low sperm quality.
And we've lost this contrast between light and dark and our physiology is getting confused.
We really recommend that if you have LED lights for your chargers and stuff like that, that you cover those up.
You need to sleep in total darkness if you can.
And I'm guilty of not.
You know, we have a light that illuminates the front door
and it spills out into the top floor
and, you know, I need to just shut that door.
We used to, I was so used to leaving that door open
in case the boys needed something.
Now they don't live here anymore, so.
But, yeah, so get more dark slate
because the environment outside is messing up our internal clock
because it's just so bright.
If you live in the city, it's crazy because of the skyscrapers, like in New York, it starts getting, it looks like dusk at like three in the afternoon.
As soon as the sun moves and it's hitting the buildings at an angle, everything seems dark out there.
They're not getting enough vitamin D.
And then at night, they're not getting any darkness because the place is just completely lit up.
and this can lead to a problem.
So melatonin is produced when it's dark by the pineal gland in the brain,
and it's a key player in this, and it helps you sleep,
protects neurons from damage.
Actually, melatonin and the pineal gland regulate the immune system and stuff
and may be involved in anti-inflammatory properties of the human body.
And when you have even a little bit of light hitting your eyeballs at night,
it suppresses its secretion, yeah.
Time change.
How does that affect the body?
Yeah, it's not.
Because it does.
It sucks.
You know what sucks the most?
Sucks my,
your dogs don't know that time has changed.
No, that is what sucks the most.
Oh, it's the worst.
They start looking at you like it's time to eat.
Sugary gets me up at 6 a.m.
Yeah, 6 a.m.
Because she used to do seven, right?
You see 7, yep.
Lights up, dad.
It's time go play.
Wow.
Got to go back to sleep.
I mean, but does it do anything physically to you?
Because I have a friend who says, well, I mean, you still get in the same amount of sleep.
It's just an hour difference.
So what difference does it make?
Well, it does mess with your clock, that's for sure.
You know, what they're showing here is lab animals exposed to nighttime light show enormous neuroinflammation.
That's inflammation of the nervous tissue.
And one experiment on humans who slept immersed in weak light had higher levels of C-reactive protein in their blood, which is a marker of.
total body inflammation, and we screen people for that for heart disease, you know, for
heart disease risk.
So what if you wear just something over your eyes?
Yeah, that'd be fine.
Is that enough, or do your whole body have to be?
Nope, no, no, no, no.
It's coming through your eyes.
The eyes are the gateway to the brain.
Low melatonin's been linked to cancer, too, so, you know.
So, yeah, we're going to have to do better with that.
Get your sleep.
And I bought Tacey these goggles, sleep goggles last year.
there's some kind of high-falut and high-tech sleep goggle thing that's supposed to help eliminate light and do some other things.
And, of course, they're just sitting in the box.
But I look at them and I say, I really need to try them about every day.
Yeah, I look, I walk by there once she's still letting open that fucking box.
Every day.
Oh, hey, just be glad she didn't box them back up and send them back and get the money and keep it.
You know, like, I may have had that experience.
That would take my former life, you know.
motivation.
All right.
One last thing.
One last thing.
At home brain stimulation device targets depression.
There's a headset that can be worn at home to stimulate the brain and treat depression.
And they passed an important research milestone.
This tiny current from the headset is felt like a faint tingle and the results of a phase two.
Now, this is in pre-marketing study.
Phase two clinical trial published in the journal Nature.
medicine, not some piece
of crap little journal, showed that
people who used the device for two and a half
months had a significant improvement
in their depression symptoms. So
what I'm looking at is a lot of
things other than
SSRIs.
And, yeah, and pills.
Just dumping buckets
of serotonin into people's brain
works for some people.
There's no question. These drugs have been lifesavers.
But there's a lot of people still walking around
suffering with depressive and mental illness for whom the standard drugs don't work.
So we've got psilocybin coming.
We have ketamine now.
Yes.
And then we've got these, you know, neuro-stimulators that they be coming.
Can I add to that?
And the trip app.
And going talking about the electric stimulation.
One of the reason I use electrical stimulations on my needles, when I do acupunctures,
it's been proven to increase the release of serotonin.
And your bloodstream.
So, you know, just simple, simple needles, a little bit of stem, and it increases serotonous if you don't feel better.
Without having to take a pill that goes to your tip of your toe just to get into your brain.
Yeah.
So this is kind of an interesting, you know, new research.
This is transcranial direct current stimulation.
It works by priming nerve cells in the frontal brain regions to more readily send messages throughout the body.
Cool.
And the study, this phase two study, one of the things they look at it,
safety. They didn't see any safety concerns with it. They did, two people did get electrical
burns, though, but I guarantee you they didn't follow the directions. Yeah, it says they were
caused by insufficient sponge moistening. So follow the instructions, people. So they're given
little ECGs, I guess. Sort of, yeah. Sort of like a mini one. It doesn't cause a seizure, though.
No, of course. So you can rent them. When it's going to come out, you'll be able to rent it for $100 a
month or you'll be able to buy it for $500, which is actually,
a lot cheaper and I thought it was going to be.
Oh, yeah.
So, all right, those are all my studies or topics.
You guys got anything else?
No, that's really, mine were really crappy and I can't even find one of them.
That's okay.
Number one thing, don't take advice from some asshole on the radio.
All right, let's try this one here.
I don't know if we did this one or not.
Dr. Scott, this is one about polyethylene glycol, aka Miralax.
And I'm...
Hey, Dr.
Steve, it's Albert from Albuquerque.
Hey, Albert.
Hey, listen, I wanted to touch a pace with you.
How are you doing, first of all?
Good, man. How are you doing?
Cool. And Tacey?
Good.
Wonderful.
When you're not here and they do that, I answer for you.
Oh, really?
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Anyways, hey, listen, you're just talking on the program about Miralax.
And post my prostatectomy, I've had a lot of GI issues.
Let's talk about what Miralax is just for a second.
It's polyethylene glyc.
call it's a odorless colorless powder that you put in fluid and drink it and it will
cause the bowel to not absorb as much fluid from the lumen of the bowel so you get less
dry hard turds and you have less constipation that's what it's for so I do use
mirror wax and it does it's not one of those things you can just take today
because you have constipation today, unless you just take a ton of it.
It is something that really is for people with chronic constipation to take on an ongoing basis.
And I usually counsel people is if you're going to take it and you get too loose, don't stop it.
Just decrease the dose.
Because if you stop it, now you're going to get constipated again.
Now you're going to take three times more and then you're going to be shitting out pure water
and then you're going to stop it and get constipated again.
So you want to find some dose that will give you a normal bowel movement every day or every other day.
But when I start blocking up a little bit, milk of magnesium is the thing that really does the thing for me.
Sure.
And you said that, you know, active versus inactive stimulants, would milk of magnesium be considered an active stimulant for moving your bowel?
I know Mirlax, you were saying, you're considered, you know, kind of passive with the,
And I viewed milk of magnesium the same way.
I was just kind of curious.
It seems to be my go-to.
When I'm stuffed up 30 milliliters, it's 45-millilators of milk of magnesium.
And within 12 hours, I'm going to be comfortably moving everything through.
I'm going to give him a bell.
Give myself a bell.
Because it is very much like polyethylene glycol.
Magnesium hydroxide is, or magnesium oxide, both, increases the osmoboxide.
both, increases the osmotic effect of the intestinal tract, so it draws water in.
So Mirralax, it does some of that, too, drawing water in, but mostly it helps to retain
fluid.
And then when you put little particulates in the bowel that can't cross the barrier, what it does
is the, you know, through osmotic pressure, the universe is trying to find an equilibrium.
And to do that, it's trying to dilute out the, you know,
those little solutes that are in there.
And the net effect is you have an increase in fluid in the bowel.
And then you just, yeah, it makes it easier to shit it out.
The other thing that happens is, is the colon gets distended.
And when the colon gets distended, what happens, Tase?
It contracts.
Okay.
Exactly.
Give yourself a bell.
Give myself.
That's not serious.
I have to live with her.
That's true.
So, but, yeah, once it distends, then it, so it is a little bit of a stimulant and an osmotic laxatives.
So that guy was exactly right.
So, Dr. Scott, I'm going to look at the superchats Myrtle Manus.
All right, Myrtle.
Gifted 10 weird medicine with Dr. Steve memberships to the waiting room, and those will be dispersed amongst the fluid family.
And I'm not booing the fluid family, just that those.
It just gives me the deuce chills every time I say it.
But it is our YouTube channel.
We don't really do a live stream thing.
This is just a behind the scenes video of us recording our radio show.
So, but if you would like to join with the people in the chat room, go to YouTube.com slash at Weird Medicine and click join.
And then just you don't have to actually join.
click accept gifted memberships and Myrtle goes in there before every show and gives out
out and between, anywhere between 5 and 25 memberships every time.
You don't have to be present to win.
All right.
Okay, anything else, Dr. Scott, over there?
We had a little bit of technical trouble and the live stream dumped out in the middle of it.
And so we lost, if there were questions on there, we lost them.
If you left one in there, just please come back next time and we'll do it again.
We usually record anywhere between 11 and 2 on Saturdays, but sometimes on Wednesdays.
So the best thing to do is go to the YouTube channel, YouTube.com slash at Weird Medicine, you know, the at sign, and then click the notification button.
You'll get notified.
And also, follow us on Twitter.

Amazon presents Yancey
versus Dorm Hall Bathroom.
Some bathrooms offer quaint amenities.
The Dorm Hall bathroom offers a level seven airborne virus for your feet.
But Yancey shopped on Amazon and saved on shower sandals
oversized bath towels, and antibacterial body soap.
His opponent played dirty, but Yancey kept it clean.
Save the everyday with college deals on Amazon.
