00:01 Welcome back, we've been talking with Dr. Neil Nedley
00:03 We told you when we come back, you'll be 00:05 up-to-date and hopefully feel great, 00:07 because we're looking at various studies that... 00:10 you do a lot of research Dr. Nedley, 00:12 or should I say you, at least, are familiar 00:14 with the research that's going on 00:15 You do have some research you're doing with the 00:18 depression recovery program and mental peak performance 00:21 Anything else, you're actually, yourself researching right now? 00:24 Well a lot of it is just reviewing the medical literature 00:28 and the journals that cross my desk, 00:31 putting that in a format where others can utilize it 00:33 and benefit from the many studies that are being done 00:36 around the world. 00:39 Oh by the way, you can get on your website... drnedley. com 00:42 and many of the things we talked about today are there... 00:45 Is that correct? That's right 00:47 We're going to talk about a pretty... 00:49 well, some would say controversial topic for some 00:53 We're going to talk about AIDS cases increasing in 00:59 those that are involved in what we call hazardous behaviors 01:02 Well yes, and it's actually not really controversial it's 01:06 the Centers of Disease Control who did the study... Okay 01:09 and stated it very clearly... 01:11 That men who have sex with men, are showing a troubling increase 01:16 in new diagnosis of HIV Hmm 01:19 And this is occurring particularly in young men 01:22 between the ages of 13 and 24... Wow 01:26 And the abbreviation the CDC uses now is 01:29 MSM instead of homosexuality... 01:32 And the reason why they do that that's "men having sex with men" 01:36 is because not all homosexuals are purely homosexual... 01:40 You know, they go the heterosexual behavior 01:43 sometimes, etcetera, and so they can flip back and forth 01:46 But the MSM portion is the part where HIV is rapidly growing. 01:53 In fact, between 2001 and 2006, it was the largest HIV 01:59 transmission category in the U.S., 02:01 and the ONLY one associated with an increasing number 02:04 of HIV in AIDS diagnosis. 02:07 Wow, and this is young people too, basically 13-24, you said? 02:11 That's right, and a lot of people think AIDS is kind of 02:13 a thing in the past... you know, the medicines do have 02:15 a tendency to control it somewhat... 02:17 It's still a deadly disease, and still one that, 02:20 obviously, should be avoided at all costs. 02:23 And during this study period, 214,379 diagnoses occurred 02:30 of NEW HIV cases in the United States alone... 02:34 46% of that group was the MSM group 02:38 that I previously described... 02:40 And unfortunately, they're not really conforming to a lifestyle 02:46 and protective measures that would help them along this line. 02:50 That's too bad... Now, you know this whole idea, 02:53 sometimes people say, "Well, that's just the way I am, 02:55 I'm predisposed to that genetically," and... 02:59 You know, there's been no proof to that, 03:01 and I'd like to just state that there has been a 03:05 number of studies that have been done on this 03:07 and it is NOT something where you can even take a picture 03:12 of the brain, or measure testosterone, measure anything 03:15 and tell whether an individual is homosexual. 03:19 Now there are some things that have been proven, 03:22 as far as environmental is concerned... 03:25 For instance, if the woman is STRESSED, 03:28 ...this is an animal study, pregnant rats who are stressed 03:32 with electric shocks that are painful for them, 03:36 anytime of day, 24 hours a day, 03:38 they might get these randomly, 03:39 may wake them up in the middle of the night... 03:41 Do in other words, they stress these poor, pregnant 03:43 mother rats as much as they possibly could during the time 03:46 that they're carrying their young... 03:48 half of their male offspring had homosexual behavior in rats 03:54 So it's not just in animals... 03:56 and, of course, the extrapolation from that... 03:58 is if the mother is stressed, 04:00 there may be a predisposition along that line. 04:04 And the other predisposition... 04:05 So in other words, if your mother was defibrillated, 04:07 every day or shocked countless times, 04:09 then you might have an excuse for this? 04:11 Or you might have a predisposition to this. 04:14 You have a predisposition... 04:16 You know, we're all predisposed to things that are not healthy 04:19 And some of us, more so than others... 04:21 Some people are more predisposed to becoming alcoholic 04:23 ...you know, it's in their predisposition because of 04:26 the effects of their parents or etcetera, 04:28 and some are even genetic. 04:30 But anyone who is predisposed... 04:33 In fact, studies have shown there are people that are 04:35 dramatically predisposed to becoming alcoholics 04:38 but they NEVER become an alcoholic. 04:40 Why is that? They choose never to drink it. 04:44 And so, there's still a personal choice involved in regards to 04:49 what is appropriate, and what isn't appropriate. 04:52 But the other predisposition tends to occur in males that 04:56 have a problem relationship with a father, 05:00 and they have a melancholic personality. 05:03 So if they are a melancholic personality male who has a 05:06 problem relationship with their father, 05:07 that seems to predispose the individual... 05:11 But having said that, many homosexuals come about 05:15 is a result of recruitment. 05:17 They don't have any of the predisposing factors. 05:20 And studies show that once a male has a homosexual 05:23 relationship, even if they weren't wanting it... 05:27 In other words, they were RAPED by another male 05:29 ...Half of them will actually become homosexual after that 05:36 first experience. 05:37 Now, after the third experience, if they have sex with 05:41 another man, 3 times, they will become almost 05:44 exclusively homosexual... 05:47 In other words, they WON'T want to have heterosexual 05:49 relationships, and that's when they're breaking up with their 05:52 girlfriend now, and that's when they're, you know, 05:54 revealing that they're "no longer heterosexual, 05:57 I'm homosexual" etc. 05:58 But often, it's through the recruitment mode 06:03 that these things take place. 06:05 And that is the mode that is often neglected 06:09 as a predisposition. 06:13 And there are some physiologic things that occur 06:16 in that recruitment aspect of things that many men 06:20 don't understand that predisposed them to... 06:24 from a heterosexual, becoming homosexual... 06:27 And often, that can occur even in childhood. 06:30 You know, often, it's the boys that are raped because of 06:35 "the tighter area there" the man is looking for greater 06:39 dopamine rush and, so he's looking for tighter areas 06:43 and then the boy is recruited and never had any 06:47 homosexual tendencies prior to that, but then becomes one. 06:50 Just because of that exposure and, you said, one time 06:53 there's a certain percentage... what was it again? 06:55 50% of them will continue... 06:59 In other words, say... homosexuality, you know, 07:02 was an experience that I want to do again. 07:06 And then once they do it the third time, 07:07 almost exclusively homosexual 07:09 In other words, they won't have interest in 07:10 heterosexual side of things. 07:12 So, you know, if someone gets involved in that... 07:16 because of these high risk things between 07:18 men sexually active with other men, 07:21 you know, and probably for other reasons, 07:25 if there are other reasons that people would say... 07:27 "I think maybe you should STOP doing this, 07:29 and have a different behavior" 07:31 Is it best to ask people to stop that type of behavior? 07:35 Oh ABSOLUTELY. Health wise for sure... 07:38 Yeah, and they CAN stop... 07:39 I mean that's another myth... 07:40 that an individual, once they're homosexual will never 07:42 be able to stop that behavior. 07:44 That's a myth that's been disproven in countless cases. 07:47 And, we have dealt with those cases as well. 07:50 There's an adverse mental health effect 07:54 associated with homosexuality. 07:56 It's been well-described in the literature... 07:57 For instance, they're more likely to be majorly depressed 08:01 ...have clinical depression, etc. 08:03 And so, some of them go through our 08:06 depression recovery program 08:08 and, as a result of going through the depression recovery 08:11 program, that enhancement and their recognition, 08:14 that it would be best to change that behavior 08:17 are able to do so! 08:18 There's a process involved, particularly if you're in the 08:20 habit, and you've had that, it's a process 08:23 It's not something that's instantaneous... 08:25 But it's a process that can be completed very successfully. 08:29 Let's go to another study! 08:31 Sudden hearing loss, a harbinger of a stroke. 08:36 Yes, some people will experience hearing loss suddenly... 08:40 And they're not sure why 08:41 And they think their ears are plugged. 08:43 And they'll come to me, and they'll, you know, 08:45 "What's going on... do my ears need to be cleaned out?" 08:47 "I can't hear in this ear" 08:48 And what this reveals is... 08:50 it's often a small stroke that did it. 08:52 And so, if you have sudden hearing loss, get checked out... 08:56 It could be a small stroke. 08:57 And this was published in the October issue, 2008, of 09:02 "The Journal Stroke" 09:03 Early warning sign of an impending stroke 09:06 that could be worse... So get it checked out. 09:08 Even for young people? 09:09 Even for younger people. Correct 09:11 Okay, let's go to our next study... 09:13 Silent strokes may occur early in middle age... 09:16 and what's middle age? What's early middle age? 09:18 Well... 30 to 49-year-old 09:20 We don't tend to think of middle age that way, 09:22 but 30 to 49 years of age, 09:25 if we do MRI scans, we find out that over the 09:30 course of a few years, about 1 in 10 of them 09:33 will begin to suffer these little areas of 09:37 small strokes in the brain. 09:39 And, it's due to the lifestyle that these 30 to 49 year olds 09:42 are on, and it doesn't show up as a stroke where they 09:46 end up in the hospital, but it shows up as far as 09:48 maybe a more greater memory problem, 09:51 maybe lack of focus, maybe a hearing problem 09:54 ...Maybe something isn't quite right with the brain, 09:57 and that's a sign that they might need to get an MRI 10:00 And, unfortunately, many radiologists are reading these 10:02 "holes" out as "normal" since so many people have them 10:05 They might say, "Normal due to age" 10:07 And at age 45, even! 10:09 And get a radiologist to read that report, 10:13 and if there are any holes there whatsoever, 10:16 I want to know about them as a physician, 10:18 because that's a time when we can really alter a patient's 10:22 clinical course, and prevent more of those, 10:24 and preserve that most important organ of the body 10:27 which is the human brain. 10:28 Pregnancy pounds! 10:30 The lady who gains more pounds, 10:32 it affects the children's weight 10:34 They actually weigh more? 10:36 That's right. And this is a common problem 10:38 Women gaining too much during pregnancy 10:41 You know, for years, gynecologists stressed that 10:43 "We want a woman to gain 25 pounds" 10:45 If they're normal weight, they need to gain 25 pounds 10:47 during pregnancy, and sometimes they'll say that word "at least" 10:50 And what happens is... A lot of women think this 10:53 is a license to eat whatever whenever, 10:56 and as much as they want... 10:57 And many of them will gain 40 or more pounds. 10:59 And they never lose it. 11:01 And that's unfortunate... 11:02 Many times that's how they start that pattern of obesity 11:05 and they don't really lose all of that afterwards. 11:07 But what the study showed is... 11:08 If your mother gained more than 35 pounds during pregnancy, 11:13 that your risk of becoming obese yourself 11:18 as a child, goes up! 11:20 In fact for every... 48% more likely it says? 11:26 Well it's 48% more likely, but it showed 11:29 that by age 7, that for every 3% ... I should say, every 2 pounds 11:38 that the woman put on above that 35 pound rate, 11:42 there was a 3% increase in weight at age 7, in that child. 11:50 And so, that's... every 2 pounds, 11:52 and some people, unfortunately 11:54 I've seen people put on 65-70 pounds 11:57 during the time that they're pregnant 11:58 And, that's adversely affecting that child's future. 12:01 So, if the mom says, "Go get me this, or I'm going to go 12:04 crazy"... You just say, "Well... 12:06 They need to know... "Let's just gain the 25 pounds" 12:09 And if they're overweight already, they should only gain 12:11 about 15 to 20 pounds. 12:13 They shouldn't go for the 25 pounds. 12:15 This was "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," June 2008 12:19 that this study was in. 12:21 Well, Dr. Nedley, a lot of these studies... I mean are 12:24 on your website, drnedley. com 12:27 Yes, and linked to the "Nedley Health Report" 12:30 You won't necessarily find it on the website 12:32 You have to link to that, and then... 12:33 ...the "Nedley Health Report" Right 12:34 And you can subscribe to that report and get it sent 12:37 directly to your email whenever the new studies come in. 12:40 And this is something you do all the time... 12:41 I mean, every night, you've got these collated things 12:44 You're looking at these studies all the time... 12:46 Thank you for taking that time to do that for yourself, 12:49 but also for us. You're very welcome. 12:51 I'm glad to share this information. 12:54 Again, you know, there are so many that we didn't get to... 13:00 There's always something new coming out 13:02 But the way you organize it and whatnot is really helpful. 13:06 So, again, thank you for being here, 13:08 and thank YOU for being here on "Health for a Lifetime" 13:11 Really useful information in this program 13:14 you may want to get a copy of it... 13:15 And we hope, as you review it, 13:17 you'll have health that lasts for a lifetime! |
