Is the Alzheimer's Blood Test Legit? | Joint Pain | Benadryl | E-bikes | IBS | Mom Jokes

Hello, folks. Hope you're doing all right. I hope too. Yeah, we all we hope you're doing well. Welcome to stay well with Dr. Zorba and that's me.

There he is. I'm better done. Oh, he's gonna sing, folks.

Infectious.

I'm Carl Christensen. I'm sitting across the desk from the one and only

singing Zorba pastor. The singing Zorba pastor. That's right. Who used to be a soprano back in high school. High soprano. High soprano. I mean, so high that it embarrassed me.

There's me and then puberty came in and my voice is still high. No, you're a baritone. No, I am not a baritone. Sometimes you are.

Uh, when you, I don't know. You mean, sometimes I get to get to know yourself. It depends. But you can get there. That's right. That's right.

But I can get to a really high soprano. You can definitely get up. Let me give the phone number. Okay, please do that. We have a show.

608 492 9292. We had a, I had to get that number from AT&T and I love it. 608 492 9292. Easy to remember. You can email me easy to dial. Yeah.

Nobody dials. But you know, they punch and you can email me at askdoctorzorba at gmail.com and of course the website

drzorba.org. But you never actually dialed the phone number. Did you?

I had a rotary phone when I was really young, really young, you know, like five or six. I remember that thing.

You remember my grandma had one. Oh, you remember that. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right. That's right. You're showing your age.

You're no longer in your 20s. I know. Every day in every way, in every way.

We have a show. We have a show to get to. Today we got a big show. Zorba's going to dissect a study that shows

there's a new blood test that may or may not predict all the time. We'll talk about that. We'll talk.

We'll get to that. Zorba's going to answer a listener voicemail. We'll get to some listener emails.

We're going to wade through some listener Facebook comments, which is always fun. Zorba loves posting a lot

on Facebook. So it's good to hear some comments. And my mom's going to tee up one of her mom jokes.

Yeah. Of course. Ready to go. T. Don't worry. That's right. That's right.

All right. The phone number to call anytime. It's that one we just said. 608492-9292. That's right.

Call it anytime. If it's at night, we won't answer a problem. It is a hotline. We love getting phone calls.

Hotline with a red phone, right? That was the hotline. That's right. That's right. When I first started

medical practice with Dr. Keller and Gdukishin, we only had, there were three of us. We only had

two phone lines. Wow. I mean, think about how different life was. We had two phone lines. And

wasn't it hard to get a call? They would call up. And we had two phone lines. And we had a

back phone that nobody knew except for our spouses that we could call out on. That was the back line.

There was the back line. If there was an emergency, they would call on the back. There was no cell phones.

They were now cell phones. So we had three lines in the office. But the hotline was a red phone.

It was actually red. Those are cool. On the wall, it was physically red. Man, it was a

wall phone. It was physically red. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Physically red. Yeah.

Okay. Let's get into our healthy living topic. There is a new blood test that can predict when

Alzheimer's symptoms might start. Well, supposedly. So let's talk about this. First of all, let

let me give an overview of dementia because that's really the issue. Dementia and memory loss.

So half of all dementia is Alzheimer's, probably Alzheimer's. And once again, it's a clinical

diagnosis. You have multi-infarct dementia. There's a little strokes that occur in the brain.

You have alcohol dementia. You have Sunday called Louis-Battie Dementia, which is associated with

Parkinsonism. And then it's a smattering of other issues with dementia. And before we go into this

study, because I think it's really important, I want to talk a little bit about the Framingham

Heart Study. Now, I talk about Framingham all the time, working class suburb outside of Boston,

more gentrified now and not quite as working class. In roughly, it's 40th year. So you have

groups called epochs, EPOCH. And epochs are 10-year periods. So 1980 to 1990, 1990 to 2000,

2000 to 2010, 2010 to 2020. Those are, they take some of the data and they look in these 10-year

periods. Once again, longitudinal study. And they want to look at the prevalence of dementia.

Once again, because all dementia is that Alzheimer's. And whether or not there's an increase or

decrease. It turns out that over this 40-year period, there's actually been a 44% decrease in

the prevalence of dementia. Among these cohorts, the 2010 to 2020, in all groups, but one,

there's a 44% less dementia in all groups, but one, people who did not complete their high school

education. Oh, that's interesting. People who did not do their high school education,

they didn't get into a GED. So they were high school dropouts. They have the same prevalence of

dementia now as they did in 1980. So, first of all, we don't know exactly why, but some of

make sense. They're more likely to smoke cigarettes and more likely not to have as much money,

not to educate themselves. They may not be as likely to go and see their doctor,

because they haven't completed high school. They may not be as likely to look,

hey, I should do this because I've read about it or heard about it to improve my health.

There may be a whole bunch of things. It may have to do with smoking cigarettes,

it may have to do with alcohol consumption. Probably has to do with a whole bunch of things.

Yeah, access to good medical care. That's probably a big part of that.

Big part of it. Yeah. So there's a very important takeaway here.

Very important takeaway, I think, is that education is a key role in the reduction of dementia.

That's the basis of this. The second key role is because many people are educated,

get their blood pressure into control, and if they have cholesterol issues, they take a statin,

they eat better, they exercise more, and they stop smoking cigarettes, and drinking too much,

and that reduces the risk that you're going to get small strokes. Remember, like I said,

we can't really prove what's all the time is, but we can't prove what's dementia. So a lot of

that reduction is from that. But the real question comes out. There was an article published

in Nature's Medicine about basically a biomarker called Tao 217. Now Tao 217 or 217 is a biomarker

for amyloid deposits, which produce the plant, which is basically producing the plaques and tangles

Alzheimer's. So in Alzheimer's brain, if you look at it, sort of like a telephone system where the

wires are all getting goofy. That's the theory behind it because when we do a bi-A and autopsy

of a brain with Alzheimer's, that's what we see. And we know that amyloid, this protein that's

deposited in there, is part of that. And the Tao marker is showing that you be at risk for Alzheimer's.

So I think it's a reasonable marker, but it's you may be at risk for Alzheimer's. What are you

going to do about it? So first of all, it's you may be. It's not yes to yes. It's not one to one.

And what are you going to do about it if you're at risk? Well, first of all, you're going to worry

about it. Sure. Right? Of course. Biomarker positive. What's the false positive in the biomarker?

In other words, with people don't get Alzheimer's and it says you're going to get Alzheimer's.

That is yet to be explained to me from the data I've read. So in other words, some people say,

hey, in four years you're going to get Alzheimer's, you freak out and all of a sudden it ruins your

life because you're worried about it. There's side effects of false positive tests. They can't be

psychological, psychological. Then let's look at what you can do for the plaques and tangles.

Nothing. There's no drug that really does anything for pure Alzheimer's. What you can do to reduce

dementia is get your blood pressure to 130 over 80 or lower. May mean taking two or three blood

pressure pills, stop smoking, stop drinking too much, exercise every day, plentiful fruits and

vegetables. Whatever you do for health for your heart is going to reduce the risk of dementia in

your brain. So that's one of the things you can do. So you don't really need to have this test

in order to show that. And the false positive is, you know, is really a side effect from the test.

But the other thing is lifelong learning. The brain is like a muscle. And here's where something

called the nun study comes in. That's very important. So there were a bunch of nuns in Milwaukee.

And there was a researcher in Kentucky. I have no idea how the connection came. And all of the nuns

said, when they die, they will give their brain to buy a two autopsy. Okay, 100% of the nuns,

they all signed into it. And the nuns, as they got older and older started dying off, a number of

the nuns showed symptoms of memory loss like Alzheimer's or dementia. Other nuns did not.

They discovered a few things. Number one, the nuns who engaged in more intellectual work

in the nunnery, like the accountants, people taking numbers, the plumbers, the people who

were fixing plum because they did a bunch of things. The people who actually worked with their

brains in their mind had less Alzheimer's than the people who did not. They will say the people

who did basically the janitorial work. That wasn't the only surprising thing. The other surprising

thing was the people who did not show signs of memory loss, a number of them when they did the

autopsy had the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's. But they didn't show it. So in other words,

just because you are going to get the amyloid protein in your brain, just because you have

tau marker, 217 that shows you may get amyloid in the brain, doesn't mean you're actually going

to show signs of dementia because people who often are more educated, doesn't mean everything.

And take care of the cardiovascular health. Do not show as many signs of dementia,

even if they have the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's. So I am not at this moment pro

to anyone getting the tie to 17 biomarker because it may freak you out for no good reason.

That's really interesting research. 608-492-9292. That's the hotline you can call anytime if you have

a question for Dr. Zorba. And don't forget, you can email me at AskDrZorba at gmail.com or go to

our website, DrZorba.org. You'll see pictures of caro pictures of me and lots of good information.

Lots of good stuff there. Let's go to the phones. Actually, this is a voicemail. A listener called

that number and left us a voicemail and Zorba is going to address it right now. This is a listener

from New Jersey. Hi, Dr. Zorba. I'm originally a Wisconsinite now in New Jersey and I have a

question for you, your thoughts on use of low-dose radiation for treatment of joints. I feel

arthritis. Thank you so much. I enjoy your show immensely. Bye-bye.

Well, radiation has side effects, right? For sure. We know that. The younger you are,

the worse it is because you have a body that may then develop cancer later on

from the radiation. No, no, in other words, we know that radiation can cause cancer.

Small doses of radiation are less likely than large doses. But we think about that with CAT scans

and other things. We used to give radiation to children to treat serious acne. They were called

salt. What year was this? When did this happen? 1970s. Oh, really? Okay. I was going to guess like

the 50s or something. 1970s. I don't know if it continued 1980s. But it actually was very good

for acne, but it caused thyroid cancer. So great for acne. Just smiling now. I mean, who knew?

I don't know. Look good. The real good. So it causes that. I don't know much about this radiation

for joints, but I'm always afraid of radiation. So I think I would be weary. It's something

I would not recommend. Certainly there are things that you can do for your joints. Lots of

exercise. You can take Gantai inflammatory joints. You can have ultrasound, which is not radiation

at all. They're basically sound waves. Sometimes they help the joints. But it's not something that I

would support is something good for good health. Because first of all, I don't know if it's going to

work. Nobody's going to actually do it and do a double blind study because of the side potential

side effects that radiation is bad and has the risk of cancers. So my answer to this is no.

All right, Zorba. Let's take a listener email.

Re-expecting something different. That was kind of a long pause. No, it's just an email.

That's all. This is from the positive refreshes. That was a Coca-Cola commercial, by the way.

Oh, really? Did you know that? No. The positive refreshes. That's probably when we weren't

trying to do everything all at one time like we are in that society. Yeah. And I was

getting the pause that refreshes. Take a pause, drink a Coke. Yeah. That's what it was.

You never heard that? No, I haven't. I've heard that it's healthy, though, to just kind of stop

your work for five minutes and just do nothing. And drink a Coke? Not the Coke Park. No, just

stopping, you know, and just maybe in the future, podcasts will cover that. Whatever that's

done. No, maybe we should pause for five minutes. But then nobody will listen. Oh, yeah, right.

Dead air for five minutes. There we go. That's a radio. That's a radio thing. Nobody else knows

about dead air. Yeah. I'll put like cricket sounds for five minutes. People will love that.

Yeah, put the ratings. They'll go through the room. I'll read it to go through the room.

And we would be causing tinnitus. Yeah. All right. This is an email or who writes,

dear Dr. Zorba, I'm a 68-year-old female, five-foot-nine, 172, and in very good health.

I'm currently on no prescribed medicine. However, I do take a teaspoon of children's liquid

benadryl every other night to help me sleep. Sure. And with my helps with my morning cough.

I'm noticing my hearing and vision are changing. Could this be a result of the children's

benadryl or just my aging process? Many thanks for your sweet attention. That's kind of nice.

I really like that. Well, it's not from the benadryl. Benadryl is an ante. He's mean it's been

around a long time. We know that the older you get, I hear eyes change a bit. And they change in

a step-wide fashion. So sometimes there are people's eyes that will be perfect. And then they may

see the optometrist or ophthalmologist every six months or a year for a follow-up and their

glass prescription may change over the next six months, one year or two years. And then it stops.

And it says stable. So this is an age-related issue. Benadryl, well, let's talk about that.

It's an anti-histamine, basically. Children's benadryl is going to be the same as adults. It's

usually in a 12.5 milligram dose, which is a half of a typical benadryl tap that is usually over

the counter is 25 milligrams. So it's a small dose. There's a list called the beer's list, B-E-E-R-S.

And it's a guy, a member, a doctor who made up a list of drugs that can potentially cause

issues. So anti-histamines, which are over the counter sleeping pills that can make you sleepy,

potentially run a risk of dizziness when you get up during the night or dizziness in the morning.

And so although a lot of people use it, the question is, you know, how safe are they? So if I

recommend people take it, which people do on a regular basis, I say the most important thing is

when you're getting up during the night, if you're getting up because mother nature calls,

which is a good way of saying you have to get up and pee. Sorry, mom. I said the word pee.

Oh, she doesn't like that word. Oh, I don't know. My mother, she was, she was brought up in an

English household. They never said what they thought. They always said something else. Instead of,

instead of my mother saying somebody was full of, right. But she would say they're full of hops.

Hops. That's like beer hops. Well, I thought as a kid, she meant that they were funny. They were

hopping around like a little bunny. Yeah, bunny. But no, full of hops. Then because she didn't say,

can you beat this if I say it? Of course, we're podcasting. Yeah. She wanted to say they're full of

hops. She couldn't say that. I'll beat that because she would all, you'll beat that. Yeah, I do want

to do one of that. But getting back to getting back to the Benner drill issue, if you're going to take

it's when mother nature calls her when you get up in the morning, sit on the side of the bed.

Okay. 30 seconds. Take a beat. Get your take a beat. That's right. Before you get up and you

reduce the risk of falling, there's something else that that is also very interesting. When people

are older, like their sense of smell, their sense of hearing tends to go. Their sense of thirst

often goes also. So often at nighttime, people can be dehydrated and they don't realize that. And some

falls are thought to be secondary to dehydration that occurs during the evening. You don't want to

drink a lot before you go to sleep because basically, you know, you're going to have to get up and

mother nature may call you more than once. But in the middle of the night, if you're getting up,

have some water on the side of the bed. And if you're getting up in the middle of the night when

mother nature calls, go back to your bed. You've got water there and drink half a glass of water

to keep yourself hydrated. So when you get up in the morning, you are less likely to fall. And

that may aviate some of the side effects of over the counter sleeping pills that contain Benner

drill or doxylamine, which is another anti-histamine that make that make you sleepy.

All right, Zorba. Wait a minute. Should have been that makes you sleepy or that. Let's go to

the grammar for a second because the grammar police are going to shine in. I said Benner drill

or doxylamine or any other anti-histamine that makes you that makes you sleepy. I don't know

if I said, I think it's probably either way out. Well, if it's plural, anti-histamines that make

you sleepy. If it's singular, anti-histamine that makes you sleepy. So it's really a function of

where the S is. So I think it's more the spelling police than they were. Where are the grammar police?

I don't know. We're the cops. We're the grammar cops. I don't know who they're for a while.

Where are they? Well, maybe they'll chime in on that one. It's kind of like surgeon general.

They never say they say surgeons general. Is that what they say? Yeah, surgeons general.

Surgeons general. That's right. Not surgeons general. Unless it's like, yeah, but what about if it's

what about if it's a TV show, one of those soap operas? Is it general hospital? Yeah, general

hospital general surgeon general's hospital. I don't know. I don't know what they say. Let's get

on with the next thing. What if the dollar like the dollar store called dollar general? Have you

ever seen that one? Yeah, of course. If you're talking about dollar general family dollar, of

course. Is it dollars general or dollar general? Like you own a whole chain of it. We're way

off track here. Let's do. Where are we? Oh, we're going to talk about mom jokes. Yes. That's

what we're going to do. Correct. We're going to do a mom joke. And we have. How do we set

just no set up and just hit it? All right. We set up jokes. Goes. We've been discussing

dollars general or dollar general. Let's go for it. A lot of time these setups are longer than the joke.

Let's get the music. And it's I think we're already there. Okay. We're there. Let's get the music.

Here's a joke from my mom. Go, mom.

Hey, Carl. What do you do if you're addicted to seaweed?

See, kelp.

Thanks, bud. I like that. I like that you addressed me on that. That's one of the better ones.

I like that. See, kelp. You know something? That's one of the better mom jokes. That's

a different one on the book. Okay. That she puts on her mom joke. Open up the book. That's

the good book. She's got it. That's exactly what it is. That's her open. Good job, Sandy

Christiansen. You nailed that one. Let's do a list of your email now. And if you have a question,

you can email askdoctorzorba at gmail.com. Zorba loves getting emails. I do. This is from a Wisconsin

listener. Hi, Dr. Zorba. Thanks so much. I'm so glad you are continuing your work with a podcast.

I loved you on public radio. I'm a healthy 71 year old woman who's been having inconsistent

bowel leakage for a few years. It's just periodic small amounts, usually throughout the morning,

even after I've had a good bowel movement. I take my demusal each morning to keep the movement's

firm. Sure. I haven't been able to correlate the leakage to my diet. I eat pretty healthy and

low fat in general, or the fluid intake. I've had a colonoscopy with no issues noted. My doctor

wasn't very helpful. Said it was part of aging. So there was no further action. What do you

recommend to take care of this embarrassing issue? Well, the first step that you have to look at,

and this is very important before you look at it, is whether or not you're suffering from

constipation. Okay, that's step number one. She's taking metamusum. But I doubt if she has

constipation that's impacting. In other words, an impaction, not impacting, but impaction.

We've got hard stool in there and then diarrhea, or you know, goes around that stool. It doesn't

sound like that's the issue. But for some people, that is the issue. Lifestyle modifications include

toileting, going to the toilet on a regular basis, going maybe not once, but twice,

or even three times in the morning. So you get up and you have either a cup of coffee or two

cups, or you have hot water, because that's an F to be coffee. You have your metamusaur sublimitation,

you know, that you're going to have for that. You then go, you go to the toilet, and then an hour

later, whether you feel like you want to go to the toilet or not, you then empty it again. In other

words, because it may be that her rectum is not continuously emptying everything in the rectum,

and that's what's continuing to go on. Now, the issue has to do with the sphincter, you know,

the anus. Now, we don't give the anus a lot of credits. Do you ever think of your anus?

Not a whole lot. No, not a whole lot, unless you're sick, right? Now think about it. Your anus

can separate solid from liquid, except when you're sick, sometimes for 85 to 95 to 100 years,

and you never even sought. So the anus doesn't get enough credit? It's not, it doesn't get enough

credit. I mean, you go to the dentist at one side of your elementary track, you make sure you get

your teeth cleaned and everything, but we never actually think about the anus, which is,

and also, I mean, I'm making a joke about the anus, because there's so many jokes and sign fell.

Oh, sure. You're already thinking of a joke. No, I'm trying not to.

Yes, sure. Go ahead. Come on. I bet you can't. No, it's, it's too. This is a serious

e-mail, so no, I won't do it. You're not going to turn this down. You've got one in your brain.

You've got one in your brain, but you're not going to do it. But lifestyle modification,

in this case, when we make a difference, so my recommendation is you get up in the morning,

you know, you do whatever you're going to do in the morning, brush your teeth, whatever is going.

You have your coffee in the morning, you have your sillyam in the morning, you don't met a

mussel, you have your bowel movement in the morning, and then probably a half an hour or an hour

later, you have one or two other bowel movements. I think she has a similar, it is similar to anyone

who has irritable bowel syndrome. Okay. So irritable bowel syndrome in which you don't really understand

is basically where you have bloating, discomfort, and a lot of people with irritable bowel syndrome

also have some diarrhea. So there's some drugs out there which I don't recommend,

but I would just recommend lifestyle modifications. And there's a very good chance that this can

really make a difference for her. Just coffee cooperative is a worker owned fair trade and

Okay, Zorba, you post all the time on the Stay Well with Dr. Zorba Pastor Facebook page, right?

I do. You love posting. You post photos from your favorite travel photos from your childhood.

I get lots of comments. A lot of comments. I mean, I don't read the comments. Horses. I get lots of

horses. Yeah. Yeah. I'm becoming a cowboy. You are. I am. I'm learning to be a cowboy.

I got the hat. I got the boots. I'm learning to ride the horse. Yeah. And my teacher

day when I took my lesson, I had wonderful time. I started laughing and I wasn't scared at all.

And she said, yeah, you're educationable. Okay. Back to this whole set up here. Recently,

you posted a photo of you and your e-bike. Yes. You wrote and here's what you wrote for the caption.

Yesterday was a splendid 55 degrees, a splendid e-bike day for sure. Since I tossed my,

quote, traditional bike for an e-bike, I have clocked more miles than I ever have. Yeah, for sure.

That's right. Yeah. You've been. I love my e-bike in a lot. I love it. I love it. Because they

don't care about the hills. Yeah. I mean, so I'll go much farther. If there's a hill and it's rising,

I'm, first of all, it is exercise. Sure. People who ride traditional bikes sort of frowning.

They look down on you. Well, first of all, they're wearing spandex. You know, I'm not wearing spandex.

We're making a lot of general. They're waiting for folks just some of them are making spandex,

but they're all things silly suits. That's what my calls them silly suits. Well, some of them

are thinking of spandex. But anyway, they look down and you like, hey man, you're not renting going

up the hill. Why wouldn't go up the hill? So the answer is for me, it gets me out. I love it. I

can clock 20 miles. Yeah. And because I'd like doing it, I can go faster. Yeah. Okay. Yeah,

it's good for you. This is a comment. No, there's just a bunch. We got a bunch of comments from

people. I like struck a nerve, which is great because people love ebikes and they like to comment

about it. So I'll read a couple Kate in men's Anita Oregon wrote, that's the same bike I have.

Wow. Or very close. Honestly, she says it's too powerful for me. Well, it's powerful. It's

powerful bike. Yeah, but you do scale it down. It goes from like one to five or one to six. I'm

off. You put a governor on it or something. No, it's got a button. Oh, good push button. So when

I'm going up a hill, I move it to three or four, depending on, you know, on what the angle of

the hill is, but then I go down to one. Okay. Sometimes I do zero. Then it's like a regular bike,

but it's heavier. Right. But one, yeah, it's too powerful. If you do that and it's got a little

throttle on it. Oh, sure. If you're not careful with the throttle, the bike will get away from you.

And I've had that issue. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. 100%. Well, you've got to be careful. Will you

put your hand on the throttle? Okay. I've done that twice in the last, yeah. Once a year, once

every year, I just forget to put my hand. I got to be careful. Got to be careful. I feel like

this is like a horse. Like a horse. A bike is like a horse. There you go. It's got a horse power,

doesn't it? Does it remind your mom talking? Sorry. I've been talking more comments. Jessica, your

mom would be really happy with it. Jessica asked, I'm curious which one you have. We are looking

into one now. Do you remember which one? Yeah, I have a rad bike and the rad bike, the RAD,

but the rad bike had some issues with some of their batteries. Oh, I recalled my batteries,

not been recalled. So, but I like it because it's a nice clunky bike. So I'm very happy with it.

Okay. And we're not getting any money for that. No, we're not getting money from the rad bike.

The rad from the big, yeah, but I looked around for bikes and wanted a bike that had a bigger wheels,

one that I found that I liked, you know, had a step through, you know, you know, there's to be

male and female bikes. Now a step through. I like this bike. It was recommended. I like it. I

would get a nice clunky bike. I would then, if you're looking for a bike, I definitely would go

to several places. I would look on a number of things like consumer reports and what bikes,

and it would ask people who bike what they think really work. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.

Cheryl in Manona, Wisconsin wrote, I was out with my e-trike just yesterday. Oh, wow. Have you ever

ridden it e-trike? I haven't ridden it, but I've seen those. Yeah, they're bikes. They're great.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta be careful with them going over certain bumps. They're kind of

bumpy, right? Well, if you go over bumps, you gotta watch where you're going, but hey, on a bike,

you gotta watch where you're going anywhere. Right. You know, there are things I don't know if you

very noticed on the street called potholes. Oh, sure. And if you're on a bike, the pothole

means more than it does than if you're in a car. Uh, finally, Laura in Kansas said, Zorba,

you inspire me to do more, travel more, and just living a good, healthy life. Oh, how

wonderful. How wonderful. Excellent. Thank you so much. Yeah. So go to our Facebook page and

look at all the photos, comments, and we might read one. That's right. It's at DrZorba.org,

our Facebook page. Remember, ask DrZorba at gmail.com and our phone number 608-4929292.

All right. We had a big show today. I'm going to try to sum it up. You talked about a blood test

that may predict Alzheimer's, but you said, let's wait on it. That's right. The first positive

rate might be too high. It might be you anxious and you might never get Alzheimer's. So

I am not pro this test right now, not pro at all. Okay. We talked to a caller or you heard actually

a voice mail. You helped out a caller with a radiation for joint pain. We talked about Benadrill,

heard a mom joke, talked about IBS, and we talked about e-bike. So that we covered a lot.

Yeah, kind of a great line. And we'd love doing this. We'd love doing this. Remember, again,

the phone number of 608-4929292. We'd love to talk to you. We'd love people who leave messages.

You can call it up and leave a message. And as for emails, I love answering them. Ask DrZorba

at gmail.com. Spell it out. Ask DrZorba at gmail.com. And the website drazorba.org. And don't

forget to stay well.
