[00:00:07] Speaker C: Good morning. I'm Doctor Kerry Gelb, and welcome to Wellness 1280 on open your eyes radio. Please listen as I discuss the newest information in the world of health, nutrition and sports every Saturday morning 06:00 a.m. central time on AM 1280. The Patriot also, please share your thoughts by emailing
[email protected] that's drkerrygelb mail.com and visit my new website, Wellness 1280 dot, where we have all guest links, wellness 1280 info and previous shows there's no denying that we live in a world surrounded by many sources of toxicity. It is estimated that we are exposed to over 700,000 different toxic chemicals daily. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins from the air we breathe, the food we eat, the skin products we use. Over time, these accumulated toxins can burden our body, leading to fatigue and sluggishness. Environmental toxins have also been linked to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, kidney disease, and even obesity. The importance of detoxification, the natural process through which our body eliminates harmful substances, is often overlooked as an important health strategy. Today's guest, the founding president of Bastille University, Doctor Joseph Pizzorno. Doctor Pizzorno is the author or co author of six textbooks for doctors, including the textbook of Natural Medicine and Clinical Environmental Medicine. He is also co author or author of eight consumer books, most recent healthy Bones, Healthy you, that he co authored with his wife, Doctor Pizzorno. Thank you for joining me today.
[00:01:53] Speaker D: Well, thanks for the invitation to join you. I'm excited to be speaking to a new audience here, and I look forward to our conversation.
[00:02:00] Speaker C: Doctor BRezaNo, for our audience, what is the difference between a naturopathic physician and a medical doctor?
[00:02:07] Speaker D: Yeah, that's a very good question. I wanted to kind of give you a little broader philosophical perspective on that because people will simplistically say, well, natural doctors use natural therapies and conventional doctors use drugs and surgery. Okay, fine. That's one way of looking at it differently. But there's a more important way to look at it, and that is if you look at conventional medicine, it's had a lot of success and a lot of success by defining what disease is, defining the diagnosis of disease, and defining the treatment of the disease. And that works really well in acute illnesses or infection, like an infection or a woman, a person or an accident where they've broken a bunch of bones, that kind of approach works great, but there's another way of looking at this, and that is, while it's important to treat these acute things and these injuries, another, more and equally important way is to look at promoting people's health. How do you make people healthier? How do you make people stronger? And so rather than looking at what disease they've got, I'm more interested in looking at, well, where are their weaknesses and susceptibility now? Can we make them stronger? So a person comes in with, for example, diabetes, conventional medicine, give them metformin. When that fails, then give them insulin. Pretty standard natural medicine approach, and we'll talk about this more today, is to say, well, wait, why does the person have diabetes? When I started practice 50 years ago, diabetes was rare, affecting less than 1% of the population. Now it's affecting 13% of the population, and one out of three people are going to get diabetes. Why?
Because of environmental toxins poisoning the body's ability to produce insulin and poisoning insulin receptor sites. So naturopathic doctor like myself says, sure, when you use drugs to get things under control, but you have to go after the causes. So what naturopathic doctors do is, we believe strongly in the body's ability to heal itself, and our job is to understand what's blocking that body's ability to heal itself. And today's world, environmental toxins are the primary driver of chronic disease.
[00:04:09] Speaker C: A number of years ago, when I got involved in finding out about environmental toxins, I was really kind of surprised why conventional medicine doesn't even bring up environmental toxins when it's such a big part of etiology of many diseases. Why do you think that is?
[00:04:29] Speaker D: Well, there can be faceless pejorative comment, and that is, in general, drugs don't get rid of toxins. In general, the body considers drugs just another toxin, so it doesn't fit their philosophy. But the other part is conventional medicine. They're not being taught it. I mean, doctors really care about their patients, but they only can practice what they're taught and what is considered the standard of care. So right now, if a medical doctor treated a patient with diabetes with detoxification and got their blood sugar working properly, they'd be subjected to medical disorder board harassment because they're not using standard care. Standard care is, well weight control, metformin, and insulin.
No, the real problem is the environmental toxins, and they're not trained to recognize them, to diagnose them, or to get them out of the body.
[00:05:23] Speaker C: If you look at some of the statistics on environmental toxins. And the environmental working group does a great job with this. There's been over 85,000 industrial chemicals that have been registered in the United States over the last half century or so. And the average female puts about twelve personal care products on their body, which is over close to 170 different chemicals. The average male puts on maybe 85 chemicals and the average female is twelve personal care products, but the teenagers are putting 17. So if it's 168 different chemicals, but teenagers got to be close to 200.
[00:06:08] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:06:11] Speaker C: What could that do to people?
[00:06:13] Speaker D: Excellent question. So we now suffer the highest burden of chronic disease in every age group ever. Okay. Diabetes, as I mentioned before, rare whitestar practice half a century ago now is very common. Why? What happened? So people say, well, it's because people eat too much sugar. Nope. When you look at the sugar consumption, sugar consumption has been fairly stable for the last 50 years. It means too much. But if sugar was the cause, diabetes epidemic would have started way sooner. Not sugar. Next one is obesity. And yes, obese people have dramatically more diabetes than non obese people. However, if you measure an obese person's by load of what we are now calling, researchers are calling diabetic obese people in the bottom 20% of body load of diabetic gens do not have increased risk for diabetes.
Diabetic researchers say mouse does. A strong correlation between mouse and chemicals in the environment and diabetes that they call the ones that are increasing diabetes diabetogens. So what are those diabetins? Well, one of the major ones is phthalates. And where do we get phthalates from? Health and beauty aids. So every time a person puts on a healthy beauty aid, they increase their phthalate level. As the phthalate level increases, so does the risk of diabetes. And what starts first is insulin resistance. Everybody knows first you get insulin resistance, then you get diabetes. What is insulin resistance? It means the cells are not responding to insulin to let sugar in. Well, why might that be happening? Well, first one is, well, maybe the insulin is too low. Okay, that's a possibility. It's not the possibility. Main problem is the cells don't respond to the insulin. Why not? Because phthalates bind to the insulin receptor sites on the cells so the insulin can't activate them properly. So every time a person puts on those healthy butytes, unless they're phthalates low, they've increased their risk of diabetes.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: Diabetes, you know, it's really amazing. And we're going to get into diabetes pretty in detail, but I just want to ask you in Europe, about 1300 chemicals are banned. But in the United States, only about eleven, or maybe around eleven are banned. Where's the disconnect there between the United States and Europe?
[00:08:34] Speaker D: Well, that's an extremely good question because it's worse than it looks.
So we're talking about these chemicals. I just finished writing an editorial on plastic food containers trying to determine if they're leaking chemicals into our foods.
And guess what?
If properly made, no, they're not leaking. But when researchers go and look then at these food containers, what they found is these food containers contain over 2000 chemicals.
Less than half of them have actually been tested for toxicity and 200 of them have known levels of toxicity. So when people are eating food from plastic containers, they're putting these chemical toxins into their bodies.
They're source after source after source the chemicals coming into our body.
[00:09:25] Speaker C: You know what's amazing? That when people put these food containers into the microwave. But we're up against a break right now speaking with Doctor Joe Crisano, the founding president of Bestere University. And we'll be back after the break. And after the break we're going to discuss cancer, diabetes, arthritis and some other topics. We'll be right back.
[00:10:00] Speaker E: I went to the eye doctor the other day with my daughter Maggie. I was shocked when the doctor told me that my daughter was already becoming nurse sighted. It turns out that this problem affects more than 40% of Americans. My eye doctor thinks this disease is getting worse. Perhaps it's getting worse because of kids prolonged time spent playing with smartphones. Or maybe because kids now spend less time outside. My genetics probably aren't helping her a whole lot, being nearsighted myself. But the good news is that the doctor told me about a new FDA approved product called my sight. This specific one day contact lens is already worn by thousands of children in the US. It is proven to slow down the progression of nearsightedness. And best of all, Maggie loves these contact lenses. The doctor taught her how to use them. Now it is so exciting to see her have even more success in the classroom and when she plays sports.

[00:13:02] Speaker A: Eyes radio with Doctor Kerry Gelb.
[00:13:04] Speaker C: We're back with Doctor Joseph Pisano who has written a number of books. You could get them on Amazon. His latest book is Healthy Bones, Healthy you. He's also written the encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, the toxic solution. He's the one that's bringing toxins to light for the general public. So before the break we were talking about why the United States only has about eleven products, toxins chemicals that are banned where Europe has over 1300.
[00:13:35] Speaker D: 1St I'd like to clarify that the US has banned way more than eleven toxins. So I don't know where that information came from but I would suspect that data source was not reliable. So the good news is that Europe has been much better about being aware of chemical toxins. And so the standards they have established for what's allowable in food and what's allowable to be released into the environment are quite stricter around chemicals, in my opinion. They're not quite as good around toxic metals. And because much of the industrialization of the world started in Europe, and you look at Sweden, for example. Sweden had the first major mining operation for metals, probably in the world, dating back to 13 hundreds.
It's been a very, very long period of time, over 1000 years, where they've been basically leaking metals into the environment.
Union is better than we are, both governments allowing way too much toxins into the environment.
[00:14:33] Speaker C: And can you finish your thoughts on the plastic containers? Pre eminent microwaves.
[00:14:39] Speaker D: Yeah. So I was looking at all this research showing direct correlation between a wide range of chemicals in the body and various diseases. I started wondering, well, where are all these chemicals coming from? So I'm kind of systematically working my way through the sources, and it turns out a major source of these is food packaging. Now, some, when you look at the food packaging, you can determine the kind of plastic in the food packaging by looking at the recycle code. So on the bottom of the container, it's a little triangle thing with a little number in it that tells you the chemical used to create the plastic for the container. Now, if you look at the chemicals used to create the plastic containers by themselves, they're not very toxic if manufactured properly. Well, what's happened is many of these are not being manufactured properly. So rather than having all these plastic materials bind together, what are called polymers, that's plastic are basically polymers. They have what are called monomers. So the pieces that bind together, called monomers that bind together, get polymers. Well, when they don't do the binding properly, you have all these monomers. Now, those monomers, when they leak into the food, are problematic. As I mentioned before, they don't just have the pure chemical for the plastic. Many of these plastics have intentional additives. Like plastics are clear. Well, when the plastic is brown or red or any of the other colors, well, they're adding something to it. If they're concerned about the plastic having to be more resistant to the oils and the food that's being put in them, well, now they have to add things to the plastics and make them more resistant to the oils. And then there's accidental contamination where there's things in the plastic containers that should not be there, and they're found in the freezer store in the plastic containers. So in the ideal world, plastic containers should be fine. In the real world, they're not. And one of the worst things are plastic wraps. So you go to the store, buy some cheese, it's wrapped in plastic. That plastic is leaking chemicals into that cheese. And it's time and temperature dependent. So you might say, well, it's already in plastic, don't worry about it. No. When you get it home, take it out of the plastic, put it in a glass container. Do not heat any food in plastic, particularly microwaves. The rate of the chemical leaching into the food is directly dependent upon the temperature of the food.
If you have any doubts about that whatsoever, get a styrofoam cup, pour some hot coffee in it, and let it sit for a few minutes and then taste it. Your taste is full of chemicals.
[00:17:07] Speaker C: Now if you look at the main components to health, there's genetics, nutrition, environmental toxins. How much of our health is related to genetics, nutrition, environmental toxins, in your opinion, what would you say?
[00:17:21] Speaker D: Another great question. So there's quite a bit of research on this, and I think it's pretty safe to say now that only ten to 15% chronic disease is due to genetics.
Now it's going to vary according to what disease you're looking at, what population you're looking at, but it's about ten to 15%. Think of another ten to 15% due to nutritional deficiencies. And the rest around 60%. As near as I can tell, maybe 70% is due to environmental toxins.
Look at the diabetes epidemic. Okay, I can make the case that 90% of the diabetes epidemic is directly related to building increasing body load of chemical and metal toxins.
[00:18:02] Speaker C: And our body has a natural way of detoxifying.
[00:18:05] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:18:06] Speaker C: Now some people can detoxify better than others.
[00:18:09] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:18:09] Speaker C: Why is that?
[00:18:11] Speaker D: Yeah, great. Another good question. So there's huge variation. So as you know, we basically detoxify it. There's two main methods, a lot of secondary ones, main one's liver and the secondary one is the kidneys. So we have great ability to detoxify it, but we also have substantial genetic variations in how well we make our detoxification enzymes. And those enzymes are highly dependent upon nutrients you go through and look at the, oh, there's probably about 60 enzymes in the liver that do mostly detoxification. You look at what nutrients each of those enzymes need, get them all together. All required nutrients are required for those liver enzymes to work properly. There's one example. It's going to affect a lot of your population here, but listening to this is women, women who are anemic typically due to either obsessive menstruation or inaccurate iron intake, cannot produce the enzymes in the liver as effectively. They're so critical for detoxification.
Another area is nutrition. As I said, these things are very dependent upon nutrients. If you look at the standard nutrient tables, 70% of Americans are deficient in at least one nutrient, 50% are deficient in multiple nutrients. So not only genetic susceptibility, it's also deficiency of nutrients. The third area that's a huge issue, and that is overload. So our detox systems have limited ability, while maybe able to get rid of this one particular toxin very effectively. But they're not being exposed to just one toxin. They're being exposed to many toxins. If all those toxins and many of those toxins try and go through the same pathway pathway, gets overloaded, so it can't get rid of those toxins.
[00:19:51] Speaker C: Now, how about certain people that are on. That take certain medications all the time, like people that are on acetaminophen all the time, or they're on nsaids, like, you know, like ibuprofen all the time. How does that affect the liver and the kidney from detoxifying?
[00:20:08] Speaker D: Hugely. So acetaminophen. One of the big problems with acetaminophen is that it depletes a critical molecule in the body called glutathione. So glutathione plays a major role in a lot of detoxification.
Glutathione is also necessary to maintain mitochondrial health. And there's an inverse correlation between a person's direct correlation between a person's glutathione levels and their longevity. Older people have higher glutathione levels. The more chronic disease a person has, the lower their glutathione levels. So glutathione is incredibly important. So what happens when toxins, they deplete their glutathione so that cinnaminophen depletes glutathione. So that's why it's a problem, because now makes us more susceptible to the damage from other environmental toxins, because now we deplete our glutathione. Now we look at the other, at the nsaids, glutathione, semi, domestically. Speaking of nsaid, you look at the other nsaids, they cause kidney damage. And I give this example for my students, which shows how effective the body is at healing itself. Because when a person has been taking a lot of NSAIds, the filtration rate of the kidney goes down, something called EGFR the EGFR is gomey filtration rate.
[00:21:25] Speaker C: Now, would that include just ibuprofen, like the advils of the world?
[00:21:30] Speaker D: Or is that ibuprofen? Aspirin.
[00:21:33] Speaker C: So, for people that take an aspirin every day to thin their blood, it does affect their detoxification.
[00:21:39] Speaker D: Even 81 damages the kidneys.
[00:21:42] Speaker C: It does.
[00:21:43] Speaker D: The kidneys will become less functional. And as the kidneys become less functional, they're less able to get the toxins out of the body. But here's a really exciting piece of research. Study was done on people with stage five kidney failure. Those people have EGFR less than 15, and they have to either have kidney replacement or beyond dialysis. So they're basically at the end of the stage kidneys. So one study, all they did was have the people with stage five kidney failure stop taking all nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs, as well as acetaminophen. And then they measured the EGfr. Six months later, it over doubled to over 25. So the average was a little bit over twelve. And after getting rid of the nsaids, it over doubled over 25. So by its tremendous ability to heal, we stop damaging it. And that's what we've done with these metals and chemicals. We damage the body so hard, so much, it can't heal itself properly.
[00:22:39] Speaker C: And you mentioned before, about 70% of us are deficient in at least one nutrient. Do you recommend a multivitamin?
What's the best way not to be deficient in a nutrient?
[00:22:50] Speaker D: Yes. So number one is eat real food. Eat real food that's organically grown, stored properly, and prepared properly. So that's where your best nutrition comes from. Because we talk about vitamins and minerals, and the problem with the vitamins and minerals is that we're only supplying the things that we know are important and defined as important. So you look at the add up all the vitamins and minerals, amino acids, fat, adds, things like that, adds up to about 43 different molecules. If you look at actual food plants, there are almost 50,000 different molecules in food.
So we only decided that 0.1% were important and everything else was not important. When we started looking at the research around flavonoids and carotenoids and things of this nature, they're hugely impactful on health. So when I said that 70%, that was just the vitamins and minerals, you start looking at these other factors, and I would assert the virtue of the whole population, one or more of these molecules that are supposed to be in food, that are critical for health, now.
[00:23:50] Speaker C: I am concerned about the way food is made today, grown today, than it was 50 years ago, because there's not as much nutrients in food today as 50 years ago.
Does that mean we should take supplements?
[00:24:02] Speaker D: Yes. So I think it's absolutely critical to take dietary supplements. Now. I don't recommend high dose dietary supplements, but I recommend really broad spectrum dietary supplements. So I don't know if it's appropriate to mention, but I designed one called biofoundation chain.
[00:24:16] Speaker C: Oh, go for it.
And how do we get it? Tell us all about it.
[00:24:20] Speaker D: Okay. Well, there's a company called Natural Factors, the largest supplement company in Canada. They have a professional brand called bioclinic naturals, and they asked me to design their multivitamin. So I designed the multivitamin, which if you look at it, you might say, well, it's not real high in this nutrient, not realign that nutrient. That's true. It has many things that I can put into it that are important for health.
[00:24:41] Speaker C: All that thought, I'm with Doctor Joseph Pizzarno, founding president, Bestere University. He's educating us today on environmental toxins, and we're going to learn how to get those toxins out of our body. We're talking right now about multivitamins. We'll be right back.

[00:28:02] Speaker A: Eyes radio with Doctor Kerry Gelp.
[00:28:04] Speaker C: This is Doctor Kerry Gelp for open your eyes radio. We're back with doctor Joseph Pisano. Doctor Joseph Pisano has written many, many books. You can get them on Amazon. His newest book, Healthy Bones. Healthy you that he wrote with his wife. I can't wait to read that book. He's such a wealth of information. But before the break he was telling about a multivitamin that he developed. How can we get it? And why is this multivitamin so good?
[00:28:32] Speaker D: Yeah, I keep saying to you great questions because you keep asking good questions. So I did a corporate wellness program in Canada that was funded by one of the wealthiest men in Canada. He sent his personal Learjet down to Seattle to pick me up to flap to Calgary, Canada to help improve the health of his oil field workers.
So it's 4500 oil pill workers. They've been doing conventional wellness programs for them. But he wasn't getting very good results, so he asked me to do it. And I said, well, you know, I'm a true believer in natural medicine, nutrition and such, but I'm also very objective. So I want to run lab tests on all your employees to see what are they deficient in, what are their toxicities, what's their metabolic status? How much can I spend? He said, blank check. I said, really? He said, yes, if you can convince me the lab test is going to help my employees, I will pay for it. So I ran the equivalent at that time. This was ten years ago.
Now it would be about $3,000 worth of lab tests on h one of 4500 people. I was able to actually, in a large population, actually test what's the nutritional status? What's their toxic status, how well is your body working metabolically? I learned a lot.
I'll tell you right now, out of the 4500 people I tested for nutritional deficiencies, only one person did not have at least one nutritional deficiency.
This is objective data. Everybody had nutritional deficiencies.
So as I looked at what the deficiencies were, I said, well, we're going to make a multivitamin. Actually, I made the multivitamin for that project.
You might say oil field workers, you might think about oil refineries, things like that. No, these are typically guys who get up in the pickup trucks in the morning, drive out to the prairie and check to make sure the oil pump is working properly. I'm not having a bunch of other exposure. They're not weird groups of people, they're just the average people living in Canada. It turns out their numbers are the same as the US. I then looked at, well, okay, now we know what nutrients they need. I started looking at, how about the environmental toxic log? I was so surprised by what I found, I found so much toxicity. I said, okay, well, now we got to put some things in the multivitamin to help them get rid of the toxins more effectively. And then I looked at the metabolic activity, like how high were their insulin levels, how was the blood sugar level, resting blood sugar level, things like this. And I realized, whoa, now we got to do things to help improve blood sugar control as well. So that's how we came up with that vitamin. And it's the first supplement I've ever had people come back to tell me that when they start taking it, within a few days, they notice they felt better. So I.
[00:31:11] Speaker C: How can somebody get that? How could someone get it?
[00:31:14] Speaker D: Oh, so it may be on. I know, it's on Amazon, but front with Amazon, you never know whether it's a proper product or not.
They can get from any healthcare professional because it's a professional brand. I don't know if there's a direct to consumer way of getting it that's trustworthy.
[00:31:37] Speaker C: Well, what's the name of it again? I'm sorry.
[00:31:39] Speaker D: Okay. It's called biofoundation g.
Thank you. The Dash G.
Note that it emphasized the production of glutathione, which is so critical for getting rid of environmental toxins.
[00:31:54] Speaker C: And we're going to talk a lot about glutathione, but I want to ask you about cancer and toxins. About one in four of us are going to get cancer Alphabet in their lifetime.
1977, there were studies done, and they said that about 80% of cancers were caused from environmental factors. But then in 2010, there was another study, I guess by sotomayor, I think Soto. And he said up to 93% of cancers is from poor food and environmental toxins. Can you talk a little bit about how toxins cause cancer?
[00:32:31] Speaker D: Oh, absolutely. Let's look at arsenic. I'm bringing arsenic up for a good reason. Number one is the worst toxin in the world, including North America.
Number two, about one third of the population has high enough arsenic levels in their body to increase the risk of known disease. And number three, what are those diseases that are caused by arsenic? Diabetes, cancer, and Gouthez are three of the major diseases caused by arsenic. So once our population has arsenic levels enough to cause those diseases or directly increased risk for those diseases. So how do these toxins cause disease?
Often, and we'll look at arsenic as an example. What they do is they damage the DNA. And when you damage the DNA, it doesn't reproduce properly, and it can get to a situation where it's reproducing into a cell that now has lost its growth control and now starts to grow, metastasizing. We call it cancer.
[00:33:29] Speaker C: Before, we talked about diabetes and toxins, there are two broad categories in your paper about how toxins can cause increased insulin resistance.
If you could go over that, blocking impaired insulin sensitivity and affecting the beta cells.
[00:33:53] Speaker D: Right.
So we're looking at loss to blood sugar control. There's three areas we have to look at. One is sensitivity of the cells to insulin. Second is the messaging within the cells about what to do with that sugar. And then the third part is the production of insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas. So let's look at some black arsenic. The main reason why arsenic has a strong correlation with diabetes. I think about 50% diabetes is due to arsenic, is because arsenic directly poisons the pancreas and directly poisons the beta cells that can't produce as much insulin. Just pure, simple, can't produce as much insulin. But arctic has a double whammy, and that is it. Also, when it is high enough levels, it makes the cells less responsive to insulin. So you get insulin sensitivity as well as decrease in insulin production.
[00:34:46] Speaker C: How about BPA when it comes to diabetes?
[00:34:50] Speaker D: Now, bisphenol A is very interesting. So number one is the good news is that bisphenol A levels have gone down, as the public has become aware of it as a problem. The bad news is that the manufacturers, most of them, have simply replaced bisphenol A with other bisphenols, like bisphenol s, bisphenol f, bisphenol af and bisphenol zenith. Now, the reason I bring those up is bisphenol s is hugely damaging to human fertility and particular in men. As bisphenol s levels go up in men, the ability to produce sperm goes down to eventually the point where they either are not producing sperm at all, or it's so damaged, the DNA is so damaged, it doesn't produce reproduction.
[00:35:32] Speaker C: And how about when you get a receipt? Is that what, is that good way.
[00:35:36] Speaker D: To get bisphenols into your body every time? So these heat, sense of. Sense of receipts. Every time you touch them, you get bispenos into your body.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: And when going back to arsenic, they put arsenic. You know, the arsenic is in the water, and, you know, there's a lot of water supplies that aren't tested to see if they have arsenic. And they put it in a chicken feed to make the chickens plumper and turn the chickens a little pinkish color. So people would be more likely to buy it?
[00:36:07] Speaker D: Yes. So, up until the past few years, arsenic compounds were the part of the standard of care for chickens. So substantial amount of the arsenic people were getting was from eating chicken. Now, the good news is that they've decreased the official amounts of arsenic that are supposed to be used. So chicken is not as bad as it used to be, but still highly variable. I had an interesting example of that. I was given a lecture on environmental medicine in Australia, and the guy who was leading it at the end of the conference gave us all a test patient. They brought this patient with all these diseases and all these problems, and this cardiologist said, done all these sophisticated tests, cannot figure it out, and finally figured it out as soon as he told me what happened. The guy was trying to lose weight, starting a lot of chicken and rice to lose weight, even though it wasn't supposed to be arsenic. When they went back to the chicken farmer to get the chickens from, they're using a lot of arsenic compounds. So some farmers are still using it even though they're not supposed to.
[00:37:07] Speaker C: And is there something you could do to the rice to get the arsenic?
[00:37:11] Speaker D: Doctor Justin so if you cook the rice for like, 1 minute or one to five minutes, depending upon it, throw the water out and then cook it again, you'll dramatically decrease the amount of lars, but you also will decrease monotrace minerals as well.
[00:37:25] Speaker C: And how about chicken? How do we know we're buying chicken without arsenic?
[00:37:28] Speaker D: I do not know, and that's a great frustration for me.
[00:37:32] Speaker C: And about, you know, I've read that about a third of the population have arsenic levels above a level which could cause disease. And even gout patients, which you mentioned before, about 50% of gout is due to arsenic.
[00:37:46] Speaker D: That's what the research says. About 50% of gout is due to arsenic.
[00:37:49] Speaker C: And so if someone has gout, obviously detoxification, which we're going to talk about in a little bit, is a good strategy. And have you seen that help reverse gout by doing detoxification and that particular condition?
[00:38:04] Speaker D: No, I've not seen that.
All I can say is, looking at.
[00:38:08] Speaker C: The research, how about water filters? What water filters do you think are best to get rid of arsenic?
[00:38:13] Speaker D: So pretty much the only water filter that you can depend upon for general arsenic is reverse osmosis. They give you distillation as well, but that's not as practical for a house. So reverse osmosis will do.
[00:38:26] Speaker C: And what are the good and the bad about reverse osmosis? Is there a downside to it?
[00:38:30] Speaker D: So, same thing with reverse osmosis. It's blocking pretty much everything except the water. So you won't have as many minerals in the food after doing reverse osmo, in the water after doing reverse osmosis.
[00:38:40] Speaker C: So if you do reverse osmosis, would you recommend putting pink salt to get the minerals back in the water?
[00:38:46] Speaker D: If somebody will show me an actual analysis of pink salt and tell what's in it, then I would say yes. But the pink salt, I do not see what's in it. And a lot of these salts, folks, fair warning, many salts are contaminated with metals. It just depends upon where they come from.
[00:39:06] Speaker C: We have just about 50 seconds left before the break, and I want to get back to BPA. And you mentioned a lot of the things that it could cause or now BPF, BPZ, BPAF, Bps.
And I want to talk about behavior in children, ADHD, early puberty related to BPA, thermal receipts.
So are they trying to get BPA out of, out of the food supply away from us or we really can't.
[00:39:40] Speaker D: Yes. So we have, that's right after the break or you want that answer now?
[00:39:45] Speaker C: Yes. This is Doctor Kerry Gelburn with Doctor Joseph Pirzano. This is Doctor Kerry Gel for open your eyes radio. We're going to answer that question. Right. But after we come back from the break, Doctor Pisano, thank you for joining us.
[00:40:00] Speaker E: I went to the eye doctor the other day with my daughter Maggie. I was shocked when the doctor told me that my daughter was already becoming nearsighted. It turns out that this problem affects more than 40% of Americans. My eye doctor thinks this disease is getting worse. Perhaps it's getting worse because of kids prolonged time spent playing with smartphones, or maybe because kids now spend less time outside. My genetics probably aren't helping her a whole lot, being nearsighted myself. But the good news is that the doctor told me about a new FDA approved product called Mysite. This specific one day contact lens is already worn by thousands of children in the US. It has proven to slow down the progression of nearsightedness. And best of all, Maggie loves these contact lenses. The doctor taught her how to use them. Now it is so exciting to see her have even more success in the classroom and when she plays sports.

[00:43:02] Speaker A: Eyes radio with Doctor Kerry Gel.
[00:43:05] Speaker C: This is Doctor Kerry Gel for open your eyes radio on am 1280, the Patriot. And we're back with Doctor Joseph Pizzarno. He's being so kind to spend time with us and educating us about environmental toxins to try to get us healthier. He coined the term science based natural medicine and he's really a leader in the field. He's written a number of books. You could get his books on Amazon and look for my website at wellness 1000 280 dot where we're going to house all this type of information and extra information about our guests. So we were talking about BPA. And quite frankly, I'm concerned about BPA because it cause iq points, it could cause problems with childhood behavior and it has estrogen like effects. So can you elaborate on that a little bit more for us?
[00:44:08] Speaker D: Sure.
We're looking at ADHD in children. We've looked at many factors and bisphenol A was one of them. However, organophosphate pesticides were by far a bigger issue. Now going back to the bisphenols, though, I cannot overstate their problem. So we look at when bisphenols were discovered. They were discovered way back in the 1960s. Oh, actually more like the 1930s. But then the 1960s, they're looked at as a substitute for estrogen. So looking at synthetic estrogens, they're looking at DEs, diathostylbethrol and BPA to determine which synthetic estrogen to use. And turns out that diethylstebethrol turned out to be more effective than synthetic estrogen. So it was used as a synthetic estrogen, and BPA was put on the shelf until many decades later, it was recognized that it was useful as a plasticizer. I want to go back to that DES. So the DES, as you may know, after a few years, was pulled from the market because it was causing cancer in the children of the women who were taking it, particularly neurogenic cancers. I have a personal experience with that. My college sweethearts mother took a DS for her, for her sister and for her brother because she was having trouble getting pregnant due to nausea pregnancy or having trouble keeping her pregnancy due to nausea pregnancy. So she took the drug, able to have successful pregnancies. Her daughter, my girlfriend, college girlfriend, died in her late thirties from breast cancer. Her younger sister died in her early thirties from urine cancer, and her brother died from prostate cancer in his early forties. So the whole family died from Des.
And remember, and vistulate was considered as the alternative to desiree. Now, I'm not going to assert that distal a has caused all the same problems as Des, but you got to look at it. They're endocrine disruptors and they're basically causing estrogen like activity in the body, independent of any control mechanisms, you might say. Well, causing estrogen. Estrogen's a normal product. Shouldn't be. Okay, well, remember, if you look at the estrogen levels in a woman, they go up and down all the time according to the cycle the body controls how much estrogen is there. When you give people synthetic estrogens, you're constantly bombarding the body with estrogens without any control. So it causes unexpected results.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: And is this in the water bottles?
[00:46:34] Speaker D: So it was in the baby's water bottles. And when I think consumer Reports is one of the organizations that brought that up, there was a huge public outcry. So now those carbonate baby bottles don't have bisph in them anymore.
[00:46:47] Speaker C: How about regular water bottles that people buy all the time? That it's. If you live in a place that's very hot and the, that water is sitting on trucks that are very hot, then it goes into the store. What's happening there? How much bp?
[00:47:01] Speaker D: So when I was doing their research on plastic food containers, almost all of them check it for water, and of course they check food, just plain old water in some of these plastic food containers would absorb these chemicals into them. And the more they heat it up, more chemicals go in. If you look at my book, the toxin solution, look at what's on front of it, water bottle, sorts of chemicals.
[00:47:27] Speaker C: So and so if we want to avoid this, we got to stick with glass.
[00:47:31] Speaker D: Glass.
[00:47:32] Speaker C: What do you think is stainless? Sometimes I drink out of stainless. I feel I'm pasting the metal.
[00:47:37] Speaker D: Yeah. So another example, if properly made, stainless steel is very inert. But the question is, if properly made. So we do. We help people determine if the water is clean or nothing by using something called zero water. So it's a little pitcher. You pour water in and you pour it out, and it's clean water. But then what's really cool is they got this little measuring device they put in the water and determines if it's clean or not. So, and they rate it from, like zero to hundreds. So if you. I'm doing a project in flint right now to help people with diabetes detoxify. So we measured the water to come out of the tap. It's like 100 really bad run through the zero water. Zero. So then we said, well, how about these containers with these people with really expensive steel containers and glass containers? Put the clean water in the glass container. No problem whatsoever. Put it into stainless steel container, came back 70. So the stainless steel was not made properly and was leaking metals into the container.
[00:48:41] Speaker C: That's what I'm always concerned about with.
[00:48:43] Speaker D: Yes, if you can. So our taste mechanisms are really good, really sensitive. If you can taste something in the water, that water is contaminated.
[00:48:52] Speaker C: Interesting. Now, going back to arsenic really quick for a second.
How do people know if they have arsenic in their water? Should they call their water company or they should just always filter their water.
[00:49:04] Speaker D: So in the ideal world, everybody would filter all the water. So here in our own home, here we have a whole house, carbon block filter and metal precipitator. So all water coming to our house is cleaned up. Now, it's not going to get much elastic, but the good news, we don't have much elastic here. It's going to get rid of most of the other stuff. So the best way to do it is, first test your water. The water is clean, don't worry about it, but probably not going to be totally clean. The simple solution is a whole house covered block filter. If there's a lot of arsenic, you've got to reverse osmosis.
And how do you know if you got it or not? The only way to do it is bad nitrogen. There's a problem with a lot of these toxins at relatively low levels. You usually are not going to taste the toxin, but it just accumulates over time and causes damage. So you got to measure.
[00:49:52] Speaker C: How about microplastics? We hear a lot about microplastics in water.
If they get really small, like a micron, they could get into our cells and the human blood, the lungs, and there could be like 240,000 little tiny pieces in plastic, fragments of water that we're drinking. Tell me about microplastics, and what do we have to worry about with that? And how can we clean it up?
[00:50:20] Speaker D: Yeah, so, yes, we have to worry about them. So it just came out, I think, with New England Journal of Medicine, where they had people getting operations for atheroma. So they have these big growth in their blood vessels, sometimes got blood clots, things of this nature. They decided to measure the amount of microplastics in these athenomas and arteries, and they found a direct correlation. The higher the level of the microplastics, the bigger the tumor that the person had. So clearly the mycoplasics are stimulating ethromis in the blood vessels.
Huge, huge issue.
[00:51:00] Speaker C: Something like a Brita hub could get rid of microplastics. I don't know if you agree with that.
[00:51:04] Speaker D: I don't know. There's a study. The reason I mentioned zero water is there was a study done where they looked at ten of the leading brands for desktop brands for getting toxins out of water. They tested all them for arsenic, and the zero water was the only one that got rid of arsenic. Polyolymphs had almost no effect on arctic whatsoever. And the reason that it works is because they are using reverse osmosis in the zero water. They do both a carbon block filter and reverse osmosis. They cleaned up a lot, by the way. I have no commercial relationship with them. I just want to know what's recommended. People.
[00:51:37] Speaker C: I saw something that boiling water could get rid of up to 80% of the microplastics. But to me, that doesn't make sense because you would think that the microplastics would melt in the water and you're still drinking it. But how do you feel about that?
[00:51:52] Speaker D: I'd have to see a study, but I would assume that evaporation would leave the microplastics behind in the water. Any evaporating water would be clean.
[00:52:00] Speaker C: It would be clean. Okay. What are different ways that we could detoxify plastic from our bodies?
[00:52:07] Speaker D: I can tell you how to get rid of the plastic compounds. I can't tell you. Get rid of the microplastics at this point.
[00:52:12] Speaker C: How about plastic compounds in general? Real quick as we come up to the end?
[00:52:16] Speaker D: Number one is avoidance. Number two is promote glutathione.
[00:52:20] Speaker C: So as we're coming up to the end of today's show, Doctor Prisano has been very kind and he's going to stay and do a part two for next week. And we're going to get very much into the different types of ways to detoxify. We're going to finish up on some of the chemicals and some of the different types of medical conditions caused by toxins. Doctor Tipurzano, people want to find out more about you. How can they do that?
[00:52:47] Speaker D: Well, I have a website, drpizorno.com, but I recommend just go to Amazon and buy my books, the toxin solution. I tell people, buy my books, toxin solution. Read it and then do it. Too many people read my books and then, well, you make me work kind of hard. Yeah, you want to be healthy, you got to work. Got to work at it.
[00:53:10] Speaker C: You know, it really is something when it comes to environmental toxins, how we really could cause havoc on our body and how in conventional medicine we really don't think enough about it. And bringing this word out to the public is really something great. So, Doctor Brezano, I want to thank you for joining me this week. And we're going to bring you back next week, and we're going to do part two. Thank you so much.
[00:53:38] Speaker D: Thank you.
