The paper presents a novel method for producing a 10M spatial resolution modified to normalize difference water index, MDNWI, from sentinel to satellite images using pan-sharpening algorithms. For popular pan-sharpening algorithms, including principal component analysis, PCA, intensity hue saturation, IHS, high-pass filter, HPF, and Atru's wavelet transform, ATWT, were applied to the study. The results showed that MNDWIs at the 10M resolution can extract more accurate water body maps than 10MNDWI and 20MNDWI. The ATWT algorithm led to the best 10M water bodies mapping results, although HPF produced more accurate sharpened images and MNDWI images than the other three benchmark pan-sharpening algorithms. However, there is no necessary positive connection between the accuracy of the sharpened MNDWI image and the map level accuracy of the resultant water body maps.

Alrighty, so I'm super excited because I have a lot going on with the channel. For those of you that don't know, the channel has pretty much died off for the existence of what's going on in the world right now. We haven't been able to travel as much, we haven't been able to go out and do things, but that being said, we still haven't been able to keep the channel somewhat alive, and a lot of that has to do with the inability to keep it fully active and fully alive has a lot to do with what I thought was depression. So for those of you that don't know me, I do suffer from depression and anxiety, and I go through waves, and I'm always figuring out ways to overcome it, and it usually ends up with me just having to go for a lot of night walks and listen to music and spend me time. But two years ago almost. So last couple of winters, I think the first Winterfest that Canada's Wonderland had in 2019, December, I got really sick with what I thought was pneumonia. It happened at Winterfest. I remember Craig and I were interviewing some of the cast for some of the the singing shows, and I got sick about 30 minutes later and I had to leave the park. And that was the start of what I didn't realize a very long journey is what I think it is. So I don't know for sure, but basically I was sick for about three and a half weeks. So I got sick. I remember I was in the washroom throwing up and my mom had to come take care of me. And then I remember I tried to go to bed and I took Advil. And every time I took an Advil, I got violently ill. And basically it led into a coughing fit and not being able to breathe. The worst body aches I've ever experienced in my life. The worst fever I've ever had. It was I was both freezing and boiling hot at the same time. I couldn't sleep if I even tried to talk. I ended up in a coughing fit that would last like five minutes. It was absolutely terrible. And it was I almost went to the hospital. And I remember it took me about three weeks, three and a half weeks to get better. Anyways, I passed it on to Krega and my family. And oddly enough, the younger you were, the less the symptoms you have and the older you were, it took you out. My mom got violently ill to the point where she collapsed on the floor from the body aches and the coughing. And it was just absolutely terrible. Ever since then, I've had extremely low energy. Thought I was just going through COVID depression. I thought I was just experiencing extremely, you know, high anxiety. So I've been dealing with that for a really long time. And I honestly was just like, hey, you know what? A lot of people are dealing with this. Just go through your daily life, blah, blah, blah. Well, I just got my vaccine exactly a week ago from this video. And ever since I got that vaccine. My energy level has quadrupled. I'm full of energy. I feel so much better. And it could be for multiple reasons. It could be just because maybe I'm like finally like, OK, this is the beginning of, you know, a summer being able to happen. But nonetheless, I feel amazing. And I started to do some research and a lot of news articles were coming out, you know, with people with similar situations, people who had COVID, who were experiencing very low energy levels and what they thought was depression. And then it suddenly going away after they got the vaccine shot. So that seems to have happened to me. I feel so much better. I'm so motivated. I'm working on so much with the channel. And that is why I'm making the video today. So we have a new logo launching any day now. It is in the final phase of development, and I'm super excited about it because it takes our very boring generic logo and it turns it into something very Canadian and what started the channel. And on top of that, we have a website in the works. We have Wonderland inspired merchandise, past rides, current rides with characters, like super animated epic characters for each attraction. So I'm super excited for you guys to see that. And I'm really excited about that one, because some of them are really cool. The dragon fire shirt is going to look amazing. The Yukon Striker one, absolutely epic. And then on top of it, I'm working on some of the attractions that are no longer there. So Zuma Flume and Baron's Curve. So super excited about those, because those are going to look pretty epic in what I've designed. So it's excited to share that with you guys. I have hired an architect to help create something for a video. So I paid someone to literally put together kind of like this whole idea and concept I have for something. And I'm super excited about because it's only the beginning because I want to hire someone else to do something for another park like Marine Lent as well. So excited to show you guys that basically I'm just super inspired. And the content that's going to be coming out is going to cost quadruple the price that it'll even possibly make on YouTube. But I literally don't care because I'm just really excited to share it with you guys. And I haven't been this motivated about something in a really long time. So I hope you guys like all the changes that are coming. And honestly, I'm just like super motivated and it's super exciting.  It felt draining. It I didn't want to go. I didn't want to go film and but like it was like the other end of the spectrum. I did want to go film. And it was like someone that wasn't me was telling me, no, you don't want to do this. But the old me was like, no, you got to go do this. You want to go do this.  This is like what you've been doing for so long. And finally, I just feel like myself again. And it feels really good to feel like myself again. Because normally I'm like super full of energy and super bubbly.  And it's just these last two years have just been really getting to me. And it just finally feels good to feel good. Anyways, that being said, I'm going to invite all of you who want to support the channel and get a heads up before anyone else on stuff to our Patreon. So we're going to be I've already posted the new logo, the rough draft in its full entirety onto our Patreon for our patrons who have been supporting us over the last two years, regardless of hosting or not. So thank you for that. We did not deserve that whatsoever. So thank you. We are definitely going to start posting daily there. Again, this is a new promise. But yeah, super full of energy, super excited. As you can tell, I just forgot to leave discord and I was halfway recording through this video. And suddenly everyone was on mute, just came off mute and started talking. You know, so yeah, I just had to quickly fix that. But nonetheless, thank you for those who have stuck around on Patreon. But there's going to be daily content on Patreon. You're going to see all the sneak peeks before anyone else. So the architect designing what I want for Wonderland is going to be I'm going to show little snippets here and there. The new logo is posted right now, and you're going to see the merchandise and be able to access the merchandise before anyone else. But yeah, for as little as a dollar, like head on over there and support us. Again, all of our new content is literally mostly going to be non-for-profit pretty much because I'm just again, really trying to elevate what amusement insiders is and make it more of a hobby instead of doing it for, you know, the ability to profit off some of these videos. So, you know, during the construction phase of Yukon Striker, I was very fortunate to make some good money with the views that the videos were getting. And now it's a new era. Now it's literally just about sharing my opinions on Canada's Wonderland and Ontario and Canadian parks and attractions. We have Jazm, who's about to launch a new series on the channel as well. And I just I couldn't be more excited. We're getting so close to launching our new podcast as well. So Craig and I and someone else will be doing a hopefully weekly podcast. It's really hard to hold Craig to that standard, because sometimes he's got a lot going on. But I'll be doing a weekly podcast as well, going over some news and any just connecting with you guys. Anyways, thanks so much for watching my channel and being a supporter for this long. I just want to come out and explain what's been going on in my life because I have disappeared pretty much completely even on Instagram. Sometimes I'll disappear for like a week. But yeah, thank you for sticking around and still watching my videos. And yeah, thanks so much. Have a good one, guys. Bye.


We got to get to the next one. This one kind of slept on a little bit right Shakur Stevenson Oscar Valdez the WBO WBC World Super featherweight titles on the line. Shakur Southpaw of minus 600 Oscar Valdez definitely the sleeper at plus 340. Who do you have for this one, Brian? The smart bet here is Shakur Stevenson to win on points, which is at minus 140 right now for people who don't know Shakur Stevenson is getting Floyd Mayweather comparisons very young Floyd Mayweather comparisons both in style and production. He gets grief for being boring, but he's going to counterpunch Oscar Valdez death. Oscar Valdez's hope is because he gives up more rounds is to be aggressive and that's going to play right after Shakur Stevenson's hands. I think it's going to be a counter punching clinic kind of like what we've seen from Terrence Crawford who Shakur Stevenson also trains with and reminds people of. So I think that's going to be the smart bet here. If you do want to late stoppage though, Stevenson to win in rounds nine through 12, which is possible plus 750 right now. I think I sprinkle on that for a little value. I like that value for that one because I think Shakur Stevenson will eventually be way too much for Oscar Valdez. When you look at Valdez's fight against Conceo, he kind of struggled in that bout where at one point you're thinking, Hey, is Robson going to win this bout? So that'll be a little bit interesting. But Shakur Stevenson, like you mentioned, comparisons to money Mayweather. And most importantly, his shoulder roll D looks just like money Mayweather. So he's got that high IQ. He's a great body puncher, great defensively and guys barely touch him. Will Oscar Valdez be able to touch Shakur Stevenson? I got a roll with Shakur by unanimous decision at minus 140. But by TKO or KO at plus 260, that's where the value is for Shakur. And be sure people when you watch the fights bet with Fandall sportsbook, just make sure to do it responsibly. Take care and enjoy the fights.


The presidency responds to Sunday's editorial of the Daily Trust newspaper on the widespread insecurity in the country, saying violence is not peculiar to Nigeria. And the People's Democratic Party PDP expresses this pleasure as Governor Kiridolua points his son as Director-General of the State Performance and Project Implementation Monitoring Unit. Well, this is Plus Politics. I am Mary Anacol. In a strong editorial two days ago, Daily Trust newspaper lamented the insecurity in the country. It highlighted the recent 23 travellers heading to Kaduna who were burned alive in a commercial bus at Sabon-Bernie-Sakota State and other incidents in the North. It accused the president of his and his team of an unwillingness and disinterest to show some concern about these tragic events. And a former president, Ulushagon Abasanjo, is in the news once again, ladies and gentlemen. And in this time, he has said that he's expecting Mr. President to do anything more than what he has done is akin to beating a dead horse. Abasanjo said that military action alone would not effectively end the insurgency in the country. He said the stick-and-carrot approach should be used to tackle security challenges. Joining us to discuss this is Opunabor Incotara, former special adviser on media and publicity to the Reaver State Governor, and of course Alesta Wilcox, who is a political analyst, and Francis Chilaca, who's also a political analyst. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for joining us on the show. Thank you, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. All right, I'm going to start with you, Opunabor. Let's look at the editorial by the Daily Trust newspaper. The first shocker, of course, is that the Daily Trust had to write this. This is a newspaper that many people would say that does not necessarily go into things such as this. Let's look at the veracity of the claims that are in that particular publication against Mr. President and what they thought. In fact, the title of that publication was that, I'm going to put it differently, that there is no value to the average life of a Nigerian. Do you think that the Daily Trust newspaper went a bit too overboard with this publication? Well, not at all. I mean, I think the Daily Trust newspaper was apt in this editorial, because that lives are being treated with levity by this government, it's not in doubt. First, take, for example, the death and burial of the chief formatipopamister who died in the 19th century. While he was in death without the print of conscience, Mr. President and members of his council attended the wedding of the Honourable Attorney General and Minister for Justice. That's a statement we are talking about, bandit, make a barbecue of Nigeria in the north. And the President is attending a book launch which, to me, is completely unnecessary. He would have sent a representative if he considered that book launch extremely important. And so I think the Daily Trust newspaper was apt. It is internal, it is quite, I mean, if the President's son or child was involved in any of this killing, a victim of any of this killing, they are visited. That's why they say he's insensitive. As the President of the nation, it is expected that every Nigeria, if his child, a member of his household, and should be so treated, a situation where you're feeling different, you come up with high blood pressure of the second letter, it's, oh, we are doing this, we are doing that, we are doing that, and an anemone of performance, country's performance. Nothing so far has been achieved in the war against banditry, in the war against terrorists. Can you really, can you really say, I'm sorry to speak over you, can you really say that nothing really has been done in the fight against insecurity and terrorism in the country? The flag, the flag of the present government is receiving, it's just 10 percent of what it gave to the genitals and ministries, just 10 percent. Mr. President himself denied the protest, but unfortunately we have a government that is impervious to criticism, I don't see any reason why Mr. Gabbashou wants to react to such a thing, with such uncompromising words. Mr. President, if they see dangerous enemies in different areas, every time you have a dissenting view, they believe that you're coming after them, you hate them, that should not be the approach. A government should welcome criticism, when the criticisms are constructive, and it is normal. Because if Mr. President had visited somebody in the hospital or gone to Lagos for something culture that is of national interest, yes, one can understand. Nothing happened, no comment, you're silent on it, and you're in Lagos, and telling a book run, something as insignificant and as trivial as it is, a book run, so that's the height of insensitivity. Okay. If judges of the study found us, what happened to the super panist, that put that in, actually serve it. So that's why they say lives have been treated with levity, it doesn't, you're not bothered at all. It's not fair, it's not proper. And we should say the truth, to far, it's highly condemnable, highly condemnable. To that sense, even the vice president, to that sense, the minister to the president. What's so special about that book run? What's so special about that, telling the wedding of your minister, your COS, is about to be buried. Okay. That's kind of, that's the height of insensitivity. Let me bring Alesta in. Alesta, what is the value of the average Nigerian person's life in this country, compared to any other person, compared to an outsider or even an expatriate, you know, who somewhat falls to the hands of these same kinds of bandits or terrorists? Again, Abbas seems to be harping on the fact that Mr. President attended his son's wedding when something happened in a part of the country. Many other people have criticized Mr. President for coming to Lagos state, while a different state was experiencing terrorism and there were victims to that effect. But let's start from the value that we place on the average Nigerian life. For example, I'm asking this, if one American, for example, had been scoped away or abducted by militants, it would take the American government would do everything in their power to get that Nigerian out. Now, let's paint a picture of what has happened to two Nigerians lately outside this country, especially the young lady that died in Tunu and how the government responded and of course the fact that it's still an issue that somewhat might soon be swept under the carpet. Does that paint a picture of how the Abfaid Nigerian is being viewed in his country and outside the country? Why would anybody outside Nigeria want to place value on our lives? I'm trying to ask a question. Let me just ask the last question. Would anybody, hold on. Alistair, you're going to let me ask the question so you can answer. I'm asking a question. Alistair, are you going to be rude, please? I'm asking a question. Would anybody outside this country place value on our lives, depending on how we're being treated in this country? I'm asking. I don't, I don't understand. What is the value of the Abfaid Nigerian lives? I don't understand the book you've written. We respect your question. I believe that nobody will, yes, we all complain about how we are treated in this country in terms of talking about value. I would say that from timing memorial, Nigerians have not had a fair deal. I've not had a fair deal. I'm surprised my brother is talking about the criticism of Jonathan being the base up on which today, anybody that wants to talk about where they say, oh, he criticized Jonathan, or he criticized PDP. Well, I don't think this is a bad thing. We have to question directly without going to other things. We've not had a good deal in Nigeria with respect to the lives of every Nigerian. We've not had a situation where Nigerians are arrested abroad and the government sent troops to go and rescue. We've not had that, we've not had that history. Rise from in-time memorial. It didn't start today. We've not had that history. We cannot even have what such asset. You're talking about Americans sending troops to go and rescue their citizens from areas. Nigeria don't have that kind of capability. We don't have the capability. We don't have that asset that America can deploy. We don't have it. So it's not to say we should not have tried. Yeah, we should have tried. But unfortunately, we are not there. And of course, every day, the issues of puns, the issues of population explosion, the issues of various kinds of crime begin to make it difficult. Now, directly to what is the point of the matter today, I don't think it's going to be charitable for anybody to say because Jonathan was criticized or because PDP government was criticized. Therefore, nobody sees anything positive in what has happened in this country. Well, everybody has his right to his own opinion. And I think in fairness to every government, the challenges are always in time. Whenever in time, when in Potakot, where in Kotaraya is, or where it used to be, you can't go out after 6 o'clock. There was a time like that in Potakot. I'm from Riverside too. There was a time in Potakot that all the clubs closed down. There was no nice club, no nice life in Potakot. There was a time. And there was a time when the bombs were going up, up to the point of bumping the work quality, the U.N. building and other strategic targets. It happened in this country. There was a time in Nigeria that economic football club does not play much in Boronu, in Medugri. But they play in cities, they've been playing in Medugri. So to say nothing has happened. It just happened in the main culture of our system, of our problem, keep evolving and keep changing as much as in a very rapid form. And I'm not going to say that nobody's doing anything. The military is paying a high price. The military is paying a high price, and we don't recognize that price. Everyone's attacked the president, as if he's the one that carries the gun and stands on the road or goes to the bush. The military, which is me and you, which is our national pride, are every day on the street in the bush, in the forest, trying to keep us safe. Because we want to criticize the president, we want to attack the president because he was criticized, because the president was criticized. We don't recognize those circumstances that they are making. Today, every time that there was a pre-nose to either the bandits or to the Bukua ramp, we don't report it. It's not news. But when there is an attack on another military formation or civilians, that becomes a white news. Are we not finding the embass of the soldiers who think they are winning the war? All right, Alistair. I just want to quickly come in there. So you're saying to us that this is not a... Hold on. Are you trying to tell us that this is not a Bahá'í problem? You're saying that this is a Nigerian problem. It's not a leadership problem. It's a people problem. It's that way you're coming from. Again, what most people, especially the Daily Trust newspaper is harping on is the level of insensitivity that they think is coming from Mr. President and, of course, members of his... Or rather, his handlers in terms of the issues or the outcome or the aftermath of all of these issues of terrorism that are happening in the different parts of the country. What do you have to say about that? I'm sorry, Mr. Tarion. This question is for Alistair. I totally reject that connotation. That the President must visit every locality and let everything took place. Can he say, state governor? Has he visited every locality that anything happened? Now, the President, yes, by virtue of the fact that he's the President, must always come out to make statements. But this is becoming too many. Will he visit every locality? So you're saying that because it's happening too many times, so the President should just not bother because these lives that are being lost are not as important anymore. So the President should pay no attention to it. Is that it? Don't put what's in my mouth, not that. Don't put what's in my mouth, not that. I want to read between the lines as to what I'm saying. I'll try not to. I'll try to take every word that you say. If tomorrow there is an incident, unfortunately, or let's put it this way, the President should go there. If tomorrow there is one at the bar, the President should go there. No, it doesn't work that way. Presidential movements. I don't work in the presidency. My friend Kotari has worked in government, so he knows protocols. So presidential movements cannot just be since you just do it at the whip of hands. There are things that you do with a lot of fast planning, with advanced planning. Not to say that I am also not in favor of the fact that silence should be consumed. But you can see that since the President came in, the military has been so fortified, equipment have provided a lot of resources that has gone in for the same purpose. So if the result has not matched our expectation, which I believe many Agilents have not, have not agreed on the result, not me of the clue that this practical has not been done. Even far more than what has happened before, what was on ground before, was a just little, was a just little, and I'm sure my friend Kotari can confirm this. All right. Before we go back to Mr. Tari, let's go to Francis. Francis, I know that you have a lot to say about this, but let's just go, I have a question. The first reaction that we hear on this Daily Trust Matters that the editor was arrested, by the way, on whose order were yet to understand. Now, of course, the federal government has reacted to the issue, and they're saying that, you know, inter-currency and terrorism is not necessarily a Nigerian problem. It's happening all across Africa. But why is Nigeria not dealing with Nigeria's problems the way it should? We're still talking on the issue of insensitivity here. The reaction of the federal government, the arrest of the editor of the Daily Trust for doing his job, these are questions that are begging for answers. What are your thoughts? Mr. Tari, we're talking about what has made up between Presidency and Daily Trust. Is there any sense of how society has turned out to be? Where does it power? I believe that... Francis, can you turn off the fan or whatever is making the noise there, please? Because it's not letting us hear you. Is it done? Okay, so let's quickly go back. Okay, Francis, I think you're back. Go ahead. I was saying, I said the thing is we seem to have a leadership pattern, not only with the Presidency, but a leadership pattern in Nigeria where those in power believe that the people have no right to question their actions. And this boils down to lack of accountability, corruption, and bad governance. You see, today in Nigeria we have two heads we're fighting with. On one hand we have Mr. President, on the other hand we have the Presidency. And I will say this, I have taken time to read the editorial and I've taken time to read the response of the government and I will say that this government has found joy in attacking anyone that comes out to criticize the way she has handled the issue of insecurity in the land. If you're on social media, you'll observe that right now there's something called hashtag secure North the youth are coming out they are complaining, they are agitating they are saying that if the President is from the North the Attorney General is from the North the Chief of Army Service is from the North the Chief of Naval Service is from the North the SS is from the North and all these people are from the North and yet the North is not secure they have come out bluntly to the President if you cannot seek our lives and purposes resign. Why have they not been arrested? Why must it be because editorial was written which is not far fetched from what these youths are saying the insecurity in the land is worrisome the Nigerian life has no value as far as those in government are concerned it's not only in the North it's all across the entire country so anybody who sits down to tell me we cannot compare this government with Jonathan we cannot look at the bombs we are going up I think it's just been a sensitive to the point of Nigerians the only sense why we have a President and those who have elected into power is for them to use the machinery of government to protect the lives and property of Nigerians and if they fail to do this they have no right to remain there as leaders but can we really say that the President has failed because I've asked this question many times when people come and say the President has failed has he really failed the President has spoken on these issues over and over again he has changed his security chiefs at some point were angling for that and that had been done he at some point relocated certain people to where it was really hot the areas where Banditry and Boko Haram were hot he did do that he declared some areas of no-fly zone so can you really say the Presidency or the President has failed in fighting insecurity or is there still room for something to happen is there something that needs to be done that the Presidency is not seeing I'm trying here to balance this conversation I understand today as Nigerians this Presidency has failed but the question which is begging for an answer is why isn't that the Presidency is finding it difficult to publish the names of those who are sponsoring this insecurity what is the problem in publishing their names? why is it that the CBN opt-in has not published the names of the accounts owners that were used to london money for insecurity so these are questions that the Presidency should answer and these are questions when these questions are addressed and made public I am telling you half of the issue of insecurity would have been solved you cannot be putting people creating problems killing people, creating mayhem you cannot be putting them at the back each time we hear that all they are repenting Boko Haram they are repenting to Headsmen what kind of repentance are we talking about you as something wrong and has repented what happens to the person that has been affected what happens to the family of the people that have killed it's more like saying that the government is being sensitive to the plight of Nigerians yes that the value there is no value placed on the Nigerian life no value at all back to you a house a group just like Francis Chilaka has called for the resignation of Mr President they are saying that the President keeps on sparing full of bandits going after Kano, Namdi Kano and Sunday Boko again another group of people the Human Rights Rights Association of Nigeria had also said that Mr President should either resign or be impeached by the National Assembly being that he lacked the capacity to protect Nigerians is the President not able to protect us is it the President's problem that we are not as safe as we should be what about the Governors in the different states well that before I go into that let me quickly summarize the issue of the Kano and the bandits of course there is a clear case of discrimination can you hear me? I can hear you clear case of discrimination and change discrimination that is what we have there and in response to what my brother said I said that this President's administration has not received a 10% of what it gave to Jonathan's administration I did not compare the Jonathan's administration the performance of Jonathan's administration with yesterday what we are making is that Jonathan was tolerant but this is a government that sees dangerous enemies in different states behind every decent or how do you justify the arrest and detention of the editor it is absolutely ridiculous why would you want to arrest him you did worse on that Jonathan that is the point I am making in terms of criticism so when people criticize him he is most upset if they complain that is why you are there and secondly Mr President Mr President Mr President Mr President if anything happens he is as guilty as those perpetrating the crime because he is most upset if he is not competent to overwhelm the situation then let him resign now I will tell you one thing again those who succeeded and some of these chiefs accused them of corruption they said they did not purchase the al-Qaeda administration that they were at the moment they are looking for the president people of defense are saying that they are saying that that is the two of the points so why would you criticize the government and why would you be a Mr President can I remove the service team can the government remove the service team who remove the service team the four points are who the appointed Mr President the worst of it today as a prostitute goes down it is the air that will be accused I am not giving you Mary-Anne not at all let's just take that cake I haven't said that sorry you asked go ahead sorry I haven't said that you asked a question if Mr President has done enough or some people are so busy that was your question in addressing the situation was that your question now those like my brother he has not done enough because they have been treated to gloves initially they told us I said we are tired of the high workers of this type of workers you told us that you are going to disclose the identities of this bandit the next thing we have you are granting amnesty you said they are not anything they have done their sins therefore you are going to grant amnesty most of these things this amnesty you are talking about raising to the house what are the penalties for the crimes committed what are the deterrents to others and the cabinet said he will never grant amnesty because he was granted amnesty and they went back to the church he is a recidivist this issue of amnesty this issue of perpetrators is because there are people called in criminal justice of neutralization they want that prison reduced so they are coming out and again they are coming out to re-strategize the prison on them the prison's military is trying amnesty is not right but then do they even have what it takes to contain this character's mood they are going to provide this miscarriage because we do not have too much time but we start to question them so you cannot just keep going we should be able to have justice in it we do not have too much time so I want to quickly go to thank you Mr. Tariah because we really have very little time I want to quickly go to Alesta and Francis before we wrap things up Alesta what needs to be done this is a question I am sure you get asked all the time what do you think needs to be done to first change the body language because that is a word that we throw around every time Mr. President which is being read by a lot of people as insensitive like I said the army of course has been asked to do a job which they are doing there is a lot that needs to be done but what is that thing that Mr. President needs to do to regain the confidence of the average Nigerian in terms of keeping us safe as a country I appreciate both of my brothers and I can see the pattern his voice but just smile and laugh it is good my brother keep it up the President we know from the time he took coffee he is a man of few words he doesn't talk he is a man of few words his actions are always shown he is a man that have reinvented the military in military there was so much that had so much to do back of equipment they were running from the enemy and the President came in and reinvigorated the military looked at the air force and equipped them modern gadgets have been brought in new aircraft and the heat in fact Shakao is gone most of the commanders are gone they say he is doing nothing go to the office Alistair I didn't ask for a scorecard from Mr. President I am asking what does the President need to do now to regain the confidence of the average Nigerian that he is indeed fighting for us to be safe and secure we are not politicizing this issue I don't need to hear the politicization of this issue what needs to be done quickly open up please let him speak thank you very much I don't even know the President Mr. Tara please let him speak when you are speaking you are allowed to speak the Army our military which is the pride of our nation we must keep encouraging them we must support them that is all we need to do the President the best he can do is to give the directive is to provide equipment which is real yes there is a big group the biggest room in the world is the room of improvement there is a room to improve more to bring our military to the 21st century military to get more equipment in line with the France availability that is what you will do so the military must be encouraged through the press the activities that they are against must be broadcast just like their losses are being broadcast they are against must be broadcast because that is the only pride we have the military we don't have another pride in this country it is the military and so the military that is taking the heat paying the supreme price to keep us safe and every day we will come we will hand pass because we want to get to the President as for me it is uncharitable it is unpatrotic and the least to say and up front to the military and go to the enemy we don't have time Alistair let's quickly go to Francis Alistair seems to be saying that the President the best the President can do is encourage the military I do not know if that is all is the President's best according to him good enough to secure us as don't forget we are in the Utah season a lot of people are scared to travel home because of one issue or the other and that is not even just related to the issue of banditry this kidnapping every other day and it seems to be a potpourri of issues every single place is experiencing one form of insecurity at the other and some form of mayhem is the President's best good enough or is there anything else that the President needs to do again the same question to boost the confidence of the average Nigerian because we see a lot of people running away from the country because they feel that they would rather be safe in another country other than the country that should be theirs well in all sincerity and I've said it several before the President has not done enough in securing the lives of the unmarried Nigerians it is one thing to buy all the ammunitions how fortified and how qualified are those and how have you taken care of those who would use these ammunitions so if the other day if you take the other day you saw the IG complain about where the policemen leave and all of that these are same men who are meant to take care of you and I the same policemen who are meant to take care of you and I have been turned into bodyguards by politicians so this President needs to stand his ground withdraw everybody attached to an individual every policeman that is attached to an individual should be withdrawn the soldiers that are walking around the street controlling traffic should be withdrawn put people strategically where they ought to be you have about 80 checkpoints from Shagamu down to the east what are these checkpoints for okay are we getting some so let us be very proactive move people move the forces to where you need them most at every point in time there are too many policemen too many soldiers doing nothing anybody that is not doing what they are supposed to do the President should throw that person out the President should avoid nepotism let us become patriotic patrioticism is what is lacking in our country today there is no patriotism materialism has become the pain of our life system we need to throw that away we need to wake up, we need to begin to think it is not for us to sit down and begin to say the President has not done that but the ordinary Nigerians cannot defend themselves they do not have the ask they do not have anything to defend themselves it is the job of the military that is what they are paid for they are paid with the taxes of the Nigerian people so it must be utilised well and ensure that they are kept where they are needed most we have to go thank you very much Francis Chilaka Alesta Wilcox who is an analyst and of course former special advisor on media and publicity to the governor of the river state thank you very much gentlemen for being part of the conversation we can only hope for the best thank you for having me well thank you all for staying with us when we return we will be discussing the response of the people's democratic party PDP to the appointment of the son of the governor as the director general stay with us


Welcome to another episode of Resiliency Radio, your go-to podcast for the most cutting-edge insights in functional and integrative medicine. I'm Dr. Jill Yourhost, and today we're diving deep into the heart of healing and personal transformation. We're here to explore the frontiers of health from the intricate workings of the gut to neuroscience and today specifically, inflammation. My guest today is a dear, dear friend, someone I love and respect so much, and we have no problem finding things to talk about. And today will be no different Dr. Tom O'Brien. When it comes to getting healthy, Dr. Tom O'Brien's goal is making it easy to do the right thing. As an internationally recognized, admired, and compassionate speaker focusing on food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and development of auto-immunity, Dr. Tom's audience discovered that it is through a clear understanding of how you got where you are that you and your doctor can figure out what it will take to get you well. He's considered the Sherlock Holmes of chronic disease and teaches that recognizing and addressing the underlying mechanisms that activate an immune response is the map to the highway towards better health. I am so excited to have you here again with me, Dr. Tom. Welcome. Thank you, Dr. Jill. It's always a pleasure when I saw on the schedule, oh, it's Jill Karnan. Oh, great. I know. I guess the fun, like coffee with a friend, right? That's right. And I'm hoping to observe all the whatever, hopefully thousands of people will get to observe this. Yes. Yes. Hopefully so. So we're just decoding the path to feeling your best. And one of the things we want to really emphasize and talk about and at the end we'll give links is you have a new doctor series coming out called the inflammation equation and what's the subtext? Decoding the path to optimal well-being. Perfect. So we're going to dive in, kind of give a framework and a little bit of a teaser for this that's coming out probably shortly after this will go live. But let's go back a little bit, Dr. Tom. Many people have heard your story, but I kind of want to know for the people who haven't met you, haven't heard you, how did you get into medicine? How did you get into a really good root cause, functionalists, and tell us just a bit about your story. Oh, my goodness. Let's see. My first week in my medical education, the very first week, I knew absolutely nothing. I was in Chicago, the strange environment, you know, classes were overwhelming. But I saw that there was going to be a talk that Wednesday evening by Dr. Sheldon Deal, Mr. Arizona. And I thought, oh, okay. So the guy's a bodybuilder. He's going to be healthy. I'd like to hear. I was a marathon runner and a triathlete at that time and, you know, so I'd like to hear what he had to say.  This was 1978, January, 1978. Color televisions were still not the norm. So it's kind of cool to see one over there, you know. He walks over to his briefcase, opens up a briefcase and takes out a bar magnet the size of an iPhone. And he holds it up like a police flashlight. And he walks towards the television. The picture turns upside down. And he walks back and the picture goes right side up. And he walks towards the television. The picture goes upside down. And he walks back and it goes right side up. And he says, that's what electromagnetic pollution does to your brain and nervous system. It's called neurological switching. People say right when they mean left. They write the number three backwards. They put the E before I, you know, I before E except after C. They do things backwards and it's neurological switching from electromagnetic pollution. And at that time in 1978, there was no such thing as cell phones. He was talking about the battery in a watch. And that battery on your skin can have a negative impact on sensitive people. This was my first week in my education and it just expanded my horizons immediately that there was so much more than what I would be learning in the textbooks. And it kept going from there. In that same year, I heard my first talk by Dr. Jeff Bland, 1978, his first talk in Chicago. I was there and it just opened me up that. And as you know, our friend and mentor, Dr. Bland, he gets on stage and he shows you this study. Well, this doctor in the New England Journal of Medicine four years ago said this. And this doctor in the Journal of the American Medical Association nine years ago said this. And Dr. just last week in the British Medical Journal said, do you see how they're connected and Jeff would always tie different pieces together, encouraging us to see the big picture. So my entire education from day one has been on doing my best to see the big picture. That's why in the introduction, thank you for reading that introduction. And it really is. My goal is to show people the map. This is what your life has been so far. This is your history. This is the map of your biomechanics, your biochemistry, your metabolic picture. And if you want to get to health over there, you have to be able to read the map and then make adjustments on the road and take a turn here, a little bit of a detour over here. I brought in a consultant one time and it was a lot of money to bring him in for the day, but I really wanted a focus for our team. And I know you've done things like that.  I've been in your office and hung out with you guys and it's just fun, fun to see how they all work together, you know. And I wanted to bring more unity to our team. And so the day was about really dialing down, what's our vision? What's my vision as the head doctor? What's the vision? And what is it that we all want to represent? And it really is making it easy to do the right thing. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to do the right thing. And in order to do that, if the right thing and people that come to us want to be healthier, so the right thing is being healthier. So to do that, you have to understand where you've come from, what your body history is, and you are just the master at that. You sit with people, you get their history and you repeat it to them in a way. And I know that you've shared this with me, that sometimes, and this has happened to me too, people just start tearing up that you're the first doctor to ever really hear me. You're the first doctor that ever really cared enough to ask these questions. And then you know that they know they're in the right place, that you're going to do your best for them. So my entire career has been in one way or another, trying to make it easy to do the right thing. I love that line, because we can actually jump just for a second, because so often we can talk real practical, inflammation, environmental toxicity, all these EMFs, all these things that are affecting. And it can be doom and gloom for the first lectures of King Bob, our colleague and friend Bob Roundtree. And you talk about the, you know, toxicity and doom and gloom.  What are we going to do? We're all going to die. And then he'd bring in the humor, right? Right, right, the Krispy Kreme donut. Yes, yes, yes, the caramelization and all the mallard reaction. And anyway, but doing the right thing, I want to take a little side note because part of this is our environment. They've shown with studies that 80 percent of our success is not our willpower, because over the lifetime of a day, we lose willpower every decision that we make. But it's our environment. And there's this thing I learned from Marie Forleo called mesimplas, which means set up your environment for success. Let's just digress quickly on this of like, like, why does it matter? What's in your pantry? Why does it matter the way you set up your sleep schedule? And you're, and for me, the night before that mesimplas is literally setting up, I might set a bull out for my organic grain free granola, or I might set up the coffee pot, or I might set out the band so that when I walk into the kitchen, everything is set out for success. So let's just diverse, digress a little bit about why does making it easy for success matter? And how can patients actually actually do practical things that will make it easy for them to succeed? This is jaw dropping. This was in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2019 and from Harvard. And the editors of the journal wrote a comment. They said, this is an elegant study using sophisticated biomarkers to prove their point. Now, you know very well, Dr. Jill, the editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association don't say that very often.  I mean, that's a feather in your cap. But they gave that stamp of approval, if I can use that term for this study. And they looked at couples at assisted fertility centers and those that were successful and those that weren't. And they ruled out all of the known factors, exercise, no exercise, alcohol, no alcohol, cigarette smoking, socioeconomic class, race. They ruled all of that out and they looked at one thing. How many servings of fruits and vegetables is the woman eating a day? And they divided them into fourths, the lowest, the next, the third and the highest. And the results were just shocking. Of course, we know the more fruits and vegetables, the better. No, no, those women in the highest category of fruit and vegetable consumption compared to those women in the lowest category of fruit and vegetable consumption, those in the highest category had an 18% less likelihood of successful implantation at assisted fertility centers, 18% less. And if they did get pregnant, they had a 25% less likelihood of a live birth. They lost the baby to miscarriages and stillbirths. The more fruits and vegetables you eat, the worse the outcome. What? Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute. What? You know, in paradigm shifting, but there was a subcategory of women who were eating organic. And in that category, the results were the exact opposite. The more fruits and vegetables you were eating, the higher the success rate for a healthy pregnancy, healthy implantation, healthy pregnancy, healthy delivery. And this is the really good news, because people get overwhelmed thinking about eating organic and how hard that is to get. Because they're just not familiar with how to set themselves up for success. But this is the good news. Women were put in the category of organic, vegetable, fruit and vegetable consumption if they were eating three servings a week. Wow. Not 21 servings a week. If they were just trying three times a week, they were put in the category and they had much greater success. Now, how could that be? Well, I've got two theories on that.  If a woman is eating organic three or more times a week, she probably bought organic shampoo and organic dishwashing detergent. She's probably a little more conscious, trying to do better. And she's learning, she's on the learning curve. She's not completely organic, you know, but she's moving in that direction. That's the first answer that I think as to why just three servings a week made such a dramatic difference. And the second is that I believe, and I haven't found any science on this, I haven't really looked, but I think the very most sensitive tissue in our bodies is a fertilized egg. It has no immune system.  These protective are no barrier. Exactly right. So the more fruits and vegetables you're eating, conventional, the more pesticides, insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, antibiotics, glyphosate you're getting. And as that's in your bloodstream circulating, your body produces inflammation to protect you from these toxic chemicals. And so the inflammation is in the amniotic fluid, along with every other tissue in mom's body. And that inflammation impacts on the success of the fertilized egg implanting. So I think that's what that's all about. But the good news in all of that geeky science stuff, the good news is just three servings a week. You know, you're just moving in the right direction and you get really good results. I love that because that highlights another habit thing, which is just simple, simple, small, tiny things that are doable and not overwhelming are the best way to make new habits. So love that. Now, let's take a step back because you've got the inflammation equation coming out soon. And it's all about inflammation, which is really the driver of everything bad that we see in chronic complex disease. But let's talk really basics. What is inflammation, Dr. Tom? And then we'll talk about some of the core things that we have an ability to do something about. You bet. Inflammation is not bad for you. Excessive inflammation is bad for you. Inflammation is the response of the immune system. Mrs. Patient, your immune system is the armed forces in your body. It's there to protect you. There's an army, a navy, an air force, a marines, a Coast Guard. We call them IgA, IgG, IgE, IgM, cytokines. Different branches of the armed forces there to protect you. And if we didn't have a well functioning immune system, we wouldn't be here because we're exposed every single day to so many things on planet Earth that can be toxic. That our immune system protects us from bacteria, viruses, parasites, microorganisms, all day every day. We're exposed to these things, molds and fungus in the jungles. I live in the jungle in Costa Rica and we're exposed to that all the time. That your immune system gets activated when it recognizes a threat and it tries to protect you. It produces inflammation. Now, your immune system can only respond to six categories of insult. Bugs, parasites, viruses, mold, fungus and bacteria. There's nothing else that has a selective response. Everything that your immune system determines is a threat. It's going to respond as if it's a bug, parasite, virus, mold, fungus or bacteria. That means lead or mercury in tuna fish. Your immune system will respond as if it's a bug, parasite, virus, mold, fungus or bacteria. That's all it can do because we have the exact same immune system as our ancestors thousands and thousands of years ago. We have the same kidneys. We have the same liver. We use our brains more, so we've got comfort and housing and food production. But we have the same bodies. They function the same.  So when you're exposed to red dye number 42 in some red pop that you're drinking, your body looks at that. And if that red dye number 42 accumulates in your body and you cross a threshold of how much the immune system will allow before it says that's a threat, it's going to respond as a bug, parasite, virus, mold, fungus or bacteria. That's all it can do. So when and that inflammation designed to kill something is what protects us all day long. Now, the problem is we have in our current world today so many insults that we're not aware of. Nail polish. You put nail polish on your fingers and within four to five minutes the phthalates of the nail polish are in your bloodstream. What? Yeah, that's what makes the polish hard or phthalates and they're in your bloodstream in four to five minutes. But there's no evidence that the amount of phthalates they get into your bloodstream from applying nail polish is toxic to humans. There's no evidence of that. You store leftover food in plastic storage containers in the refrigerator. The next day you take the chicken out. It's got phthalates in it because the food touched the container, the plastic of the container and the chemicals in the plastic material of the container leech into the food. But there's no evidence that the amount of phthalates that leech out of plastic containers into your leftover food is toxic to humans. There's no evidence. But this stuff is accumulative in the body. That's how the chemical industry got away with this. They passed the legislation that you have to demonstrate that the amount of chemical you are exposed to within 24 hours is toxic to human cells. It's not. It's called the Toxic Substance Control Act. And the senators were paid off. The representatives were paid off to pass this legislation. And consumers at the time said, you can't do this. This isn't right. But they ignored all that. The lobbying industry spent millions and they spent millions every year to make sure nobody touches TSCA, the Toxic Substance Control Act. I mean, how is it possible that we have toothpaste for your children that says on the label, do not eat this if swallowed, call poison, the National Poison Control Center. And that's on the toothpaste you're giving your kids. And we think it's OK that we're being protected. No, we're not. So it's this world of toxins, Dr. Jill, that we are exposed to all day, every day that we don't know about. It's overwhelming to think about that is activating our immune system, producing this chronic low grade inflammation that's there all the time. One more fact. The CDC tells us that 14 of the 15 top causes of death are chronic inflammatory diseases. It's always inflammation, except for unintentional injuries.    And you feel you feel pretty good and killing off a few cells. You feel how you do it.  In other words, your vitality is going down and down and down and down. Like the frog boiling in the pot, right? That's exactly right. Exactly right. Until you finally have dis-ease, meaning you don't feel good. You go to the doctor and then you get diagnosed with a disease. And you think that this just happened to you. No, it happened years ago. One more point that should wake people up. Blue Cross Blue Shield published in February of 2020. And nobody heard about this because that's when the virus came out. But they said, we've got a problem. In the previous four year period, there was a 407 percent increase in four years of 407 percent increase in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's in 30 to 44 year olds. Wow. In four years. Wow. Because all of this inflammation that young people have now because they've got more chemicals in their body than ever before in history from birth, because mom had more chemicals than her mother had with pregnancy and more and more chemicals. And now these young people are so loaded with these toxins. This is the primary reason, in my opinion, why so many brain dysfunction dis-eases and diseases are occurring, whether it's depression or anxiety or schizophrenia or autism or Alzheimer's is because the brain is especially susceptible to these toxins getting in.   And you have a 407 percent increase in Alzheimer's in four years in 30 to 44 year olds. Hey, everybody, I just stopped by to let you know that my new book, Unexpected, Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science and Faith, is now available for order wherever you purchase books. In this book, I share my own journey of overcoming life-threatening illness and the tools and tips and tricks and hope and resilience I found along the way. This book includes practical advice for things like cancer and Crohn's disease and other autoimmune conditions, infections like Lyme or Epstein Bar and mold and biotoxin related illness. What I really hope is that as you read this book, you find transformational wisdom for health and healing. If you want to get your own copy, stop by readunexpected.com. There you can also collect your free bonuses. So grab your copy today and begin your own transformational journey through functional medicine in finding resilience. Now, this is a little depressing and scary, but it's so relevant because if people don't know, I always call this the elephant in the room. It's one of my favorite topics. Dr. Tom, as you know, is the environmental toxic load. So we have established and just given just a couple examples, there's a hundred more and the truth is we are all swimming in toxic soup. And this can, like I said, this can be so depressing and overwhelming. Let's shift to some practical ways that people can actually take control because the truth is all of us, even if we're super careful like you and I, Tom, are going to get toxic exposures. Right, right. In a certain threshold, our bodies are created to detox. So there is this mechanism built in that we were born with that allows us to get rid of that. But what we're talking about is in the last decade or two decades, we've really outpaced our own capacity to detox. So we must, if we want to live healthy, incorporate. I always say the 21 day January detox is great, but you must not. Just think of this as like a spa day on January. You must incorporate daily habits and things and choices that decrease your toxic load. And I'm sure in your document, you talk about this, but let's talk about some practical ways that people can have control of their toxic load. You bet. You bet. It's essential that, see, once people understand the overwhelm of all this and how dominant it is, then reality is it's essential that every day you put a little bit of tension on how am I detoxing today? And that example I gave you from the Journal of the American Medical Association is such a good example, three servings a week because these women are moving in the right direction. They're just and such great results. They have healthy babies, you know, which is what they went there for in the first place. So that's a really good point. If you hang on to that study, the message of that study, you don't have to be perfect. And the theme of our event is progress. Not perfection. Love it. That's all, you know, you just move in the right direction. So the first thing in toxicity and helping to reduce the level of toxicity is you have to have your four lane highways wide open, able to carry an escort stuff out of the body.  And he's absolutely right. And most people don't have enough. Their highways, their four lane highway is blocked out, is closed down to two lanes and sometimes one lane. What does that mean? It means everything's backed up and you can't get it out moving properly. Well, what does that mean?   And that pinching should go down immediately flat. If it doesn't, if it sticks up, you're dehydrated and you need more water, you know, you just need to make sure. And how much water? It's a third of an ounce per pound body weight is what we recommend. And if you're sweating a lot because you're doing saunas, which are a great thing to do or you're exercising to the point of sweating a lot, it goes up to a half ounce per pound body weight, but a minimum about a third of an ounce per pound body weight. And you have to drink enough water so that your highways can escort the bad stuff out. That's a really important first step. You don't want to try to mobilize everything if your four lane highway is down to one lane, you know, or the highway is closed and everyone's being shunted off on an exit and you got to take the side roads. Tom, if I can quick comment, I've always talked about mobilization versus excretion. And you have mobilization is actually quite easy. What you're talking about is mobilization. But if our excretion, the highway pathways are not there, we can mobilize all day long and we actually feel worse. We become worse because we're not excreting. So those two pieces are so. Right. We used to call those pathological detoxifiers because we really didn't know what was going on. Right. Right. Right. That's that's exactly right. So the first thing is just make sure that you're hydrated well enough. You know, that's critically important.  Now is a study looking at tens of thousands of people. So that means walking.  I mean, if you want to do more, you certainly can. But you don't have to. You just need to move it. You need to mobilize. You need to get it going. So we talk about that and we talk about foods that are helpful with supporting your detox pathways, you know, the cruciferous vegetables and the idea of sprouts. One of our experts is a Sprout expert. Oh, wow. Powerhouses. And they're just powerhouses, you know, when and it's so easy to make sprouts. It's a great family project. So your young kids feel like they're contributing to food in the house with that one. So our event is about not just crying wolf. I mean, we've got the world leaders. I mean, I traveled to seven countries. Wow, interviewing for this. None of them are online. And I think one of the best ones that one of the ones I enjoyed the most was Fran Drescher. Oh, Fran. I do too. She's so great.  And, you know, she was the one in charge of all the negotiations for the strike that the screenwriters had recently. And they won. The AI is not allowed to be used in writing scripts. And I said, Fran, so you must have had a team of lawyers that were working for you. He says, no, a few as well. Wait a minute, I'm sure the movie studios had the most expensive lawyers in the country. And, you know, these, how did you deal with all of that? She started laughing and she said. I would only talk to them in my nightgown in my bathroom. I go, what, what? And she showed me her lounge chair in the bathroom. And that's where she would sit in her lounge chair, drink her tea and talk to these people on Zoom meetings, you know, and negotiate with these high powered attorneys. And I'm telling you that because her message in the inflammation equation, you must take care of yourself.  If you don't take care of yourself, you're no good to anyone.  And she said, you must take care of yourself. That's why she founded Cancer Schmancer. And that is the nonprofit that we're donating to with this event is to Cancer Schmancer because she does such a great job. And her primary emphasis is on educating people about the toxic environment that we're all living in and how it causes mutant cells when you don't take care of your body well enough, when you're eating the wrong foods and too much stress. Then we had Jeff Bland, the father of functional medicine, tell us that a negative thought is just as powerful at activating stress hormones and inflammation as exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Wow. And that's from Jeff, who does not exaggerate. No, has founded research on every statement. That's right. That's right. And so we learned that negative thoughts. And then here comes Fran talking about how you have to take care of yourself, the little things that you can do to take care of yourself every day. It comes back to this because it is so easy to be number one, doom and gloom. Toxicity, environmental toxicity is one of the most depressing topics in the world. But the truth is we do have choice. We do have ability to make change. And it really, really does start with getting our nervous system in a good state of feeling worthy and loved and having those thoughts of gratitude and those things. And the science supports it, right? It's not just spouting this off. When we look at like the heart rate variability data, the things that most profoundly affect a healthy heart rate variability are the emotion of love and gratitude. Amen to that. That's exactly right. Every morning when I wake up and we talked about the doctor, Pedram Shoja, I talked about this in his interview.  And for me, it's that my son is laying next to me. He sleeps with us. He's three, three years old. And I'm grateful for my son. I'm grateful for my wife, this incredible partner I have. And I'm grateful to be doing the work that I do in the world. So that's how I started my morning today. And then I open my eyes and there's my beautiful son sound asleep next to me. You know, so I love that you're sharing this because this is really the core of healing way more. Exactly. Exactly. It's these little things that you do for yourself, you know. And as you know, Joe, we both have our ways of doing this. When I sign books, I always ask the person their name and I write down their name and I sign it base hits win the ball game. Love it. It's the little things you do over and over again. Like you started off by saying about the exercises that you're doing that they accumulatively set the stage for you to be healthier. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is so exciting. And I can't wait personally to watch the inflammation equation. Let's just leave people with one take away. We could we could do a hundred. And I know you have so many sound bites talking about what would be your one takeaway for people suffering with chronic illness or inflammation. Give them just some pearl to leave to end on. Oh, it's really great. Thank you for that. And there is absolutely no question. There is so much science to prove this. And this is the language that the researchers at Harvard use. This is their exact words. You can arrest and reverse the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. That's the message you can. It's not drugs. It's how you live your life. When you when you realize that how you've lived your life to now has gotten you to where you are in your life. Some things got to change if you want your health to go in a different direction.

A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hay-o-silver! The lone ranger. Stressed as gleaming rails into the western United States, civilization was brought to the frontier, but the fight for law and order was not won. Train hold-ups took the place of stage hold-ups. The outlaws were more than a match for the local sheriffs and might never have been brought to justice without the help of the masked rat of the planes. It was that great champion of justice who put an end to crime in the new territory. It was he, more than any other man, who made the winning of the West possible. Return with us now those thrilling days when adventure lay at the end of every trail. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the Great Horse Silver. The lone ranger rides again. Hello! Just a hurry! The Union Pacific pride of the West was roaring across the open stretches where vast ranches separated the small crossroads communities. Then there's a line of cars and the great iron horse near the town of Redstone. I'll get them! Line up there all of you! What is this?  Line up there! Train robbers! They was hid there! Hurry up, get moving! All right boys, let them have it! Don't leave any survivors! Get the last ones! Stay with me! Take it! Set me out a drink bar, keep. Dad ratted I needed after leaving the posse to try to locate them train robbers. Right, Sheriff. Go on, tell some more, Sheriff. How do you know they were three men? One of the guards lived long enough to tell me that much. But he didn't get no description to amount anything. Dad ratted Steve. Now I know the law made a mistake on the last train hold up. How's that, Sheriff? You remember Steve? We suspicion Bill Andrews because he worked for the Union Pacific and was fired and soared at the railroad. He was sent to jail on what's called circumstantial evidence. Yeah, his kid brother's been took in by the screw-marm. But now, being as this second robbery was done the same way, it sort of shows that Bill warned the guilty one. Sheriff, maybe I should tell you. What, sir? Bill Andrews busted out in the jail at Pine Flats. Busted out? Yeah, the night before the robbery. Why didn't you say so, Steve? Why, hang it all? Then that's the man we want. I'm going to search the school-marms ranch and yours as well, being your the nearest to it. It's likely that Bill Andrews will hide out near the kid. You might look your ranch over yourself. All them old buildings on it. Sure enough, will. I ain't worked my place much, and there's some of the buildings that don't get looked into from one year to the next. Sure, so. There's a sizable reward for these train robbers, and now I've got something to work on. Have a drink, Steve, a drink on me. Barkeep, set out a drink for Steve and a one for the stranger, too. Sure thing, Sheriff. What's your name, stranger? You wouldn't be interested, Sheriff. I'm not planning to stay around here long. I says, what's your name? What's the difference? Oh, I dug on your hide. Stand still and let me get a close look at you. I heard what you said about that train robbery. Never mind that.   Stand still when the sheriff says to. Frunderation. You've got some sort of disguise and coloring on your face. Want a Bill Andrews gang? Raise your hand. Bill him. Not so fast. Don't shoot in here. Stand back. That goes for you men, too. Keep your hands high.   That's as good as a confession. Is it? Well, you'll need more proof than that, Sheriff. Someone get him, shoot him. I'm not one of your train robbers. I'm not going to stay around here to get framed by the real robbers. You stay right where you are until you've heard me right away. The stranger passed through the swinging doors. Then, with lightning speed, he jammed the guns in leather. Whirled and leaped astride a powerful white stallion. Come on, boy! Then, the streamed from the cafe, shouting after the hard-riding figure. Guns barked and bullets zoomed past the rider's head. Get along, old fellow. Come on there.  But soon, the stranger was out of reach of gunfire. As he rode, leaning low on the saddle, he took a sharp turn to the north and broke into a clump of cottonwoods. Then, he rained up at a small, well-concealed camp. An Indian rose to beat him. Hurry, tunnel. My mask. My own hat and shirt. What happened? I was suspected of being one of the train robbers. With his shirt changed, the stranger put his battered black hat into a saddle bag. The Indian handed him a white sombrero. And then...  He stood there for one brief instance. The familiar figure of the Western Plains. The masked rider whose deeds of daring in the name of justice were known throughout the length and breadth of seven states. Swinging to the saddle, he shouted that familiar cry. Once more, the lone ranger raced into action, ready to risk his own life in the cause of justice. Come on, salesman! The news was hidden in a small shack on Steve Logan's ranch. Hearing the clatter of approaching hoops, he thought it was Steve and one of his men returning. I wonder if he's got some news. Silver, that ain't the name of Steve's horse. I better take a look through the cracks in the wall. Wish I had a shooting man. Stand where you are. Take it easy, Bill. I know you're not armed. Mask, what in place? He's just on his way here. You've got to get away. Who are you? I happen to be one man who believed you're not guilty of those train robbers. Those? There was only one. It was the second one last night. Last night? Yes. Just a little while after Steve Logan helped you break out of jail and brought you here. But who are you? That doesn't matter. Steve told the sheriff you'd escape from jail. That fact, combined with last night's robbery, made the sheriff dead sure you're the leader of the train's robbers. I ain't. I ain't, I tell you. Why did Steve help you get free? To prove your innocence by being free to find the real crooks?  No, I'm going to help you. Didn't it occur to you that as long as you were alive, there was a chance the real crooks could be found? But once you're dead, the case will be marked closed. But come on with me. I ain't leaving here. Where's Steve? Steve is on his way here right now.  That ain't so. He's my friend. Your friend? Why did he tell the sheriff you were free? Why did he tell you to stay here and hiding instead of making your getaway?  I ain't coming. Very well. We can't wait till Steve Logan gets here.  I don't get it. Let me go and bless you. There's no use putting up a fight. We're just wasting good time, Bill. I'll get a rope on him, Tunnel. Let me go. Hold him there. I'll hold you for the time.  You'll just wait till we get to camp and have time to talk. I'll tell you who I think the real train robbers are. I'll tell you how we can make them show their hands. Hip. Hand them up here, Tunnel. You say you think you know who they are? We've been checking hoof marks and footprints, Bill. Now, wait till we get to camp. Come on, Tunnel. I tell you, Jake, it'll be as easy as falling off in the log. Didn't the sheriff want to know how you know that Andrews was out of jail? No, he didn't ask.  All right. Sooner or not. You do as I tell you. All right. All right, Steve. Go on. I'll wait here and see that you do the job right. He'll be out of drill, Jake, while he's doing it. Let the sheriff have them both and not have to split no reward. Steve, he ain't here. He ain't there. What do you mean he ain't? Well, he ain't. Come on, boy. Oh. Oh, there. Now, let me see. I told you we should have roped him.  I'll go to rope him and not have him suspect something funny going on. Well, now he's gone. Well, I got a blame-good idea where we can find him. You told him to wait right here, Steve. Sure. Well, he's likely gone and see his kid brother over to the schoolman's place. We'll go there. Come on.   Get up there. Meanwhile, at James Ranch, 15-year-old Jackie stood before the schoolteacher and made a declaration. You don't have no right to pry into my affairs, Miss Winters, and I don't have to answer your questions. As long as you live in this house, you're going to behave yourself and do what you're told.  I won't tell. You will tell.  I won't tell a thing. We'll get back to this discussion later on. I see the sheriff's stopping up. I wonder what he's doing here. Howdy, ma'am. Hello, Sheriff. I think I don't have enough talk with Jack there. Oh. How about it, Jack? You know anything? You think I ought to be told? No, sir. What's he done? Where was you last night, Jack? I was right here. I went to bed at the usual time. Is that the case, ma'am? Yes. Jack went to bed at the usual time, Sheriff. What's the trouble? Did you stay in bed, son, or did you get up and sneak out?  Why should he sneak out after turning in? I don't answer my question on. Jack, when your brother was took away, he left what cash he had with you. Isn't that so? Yes, sir. I did. I suppose you still got that cash. Well, I... It's none of your business, Sheriff. Unless you tell why you asked these things, I'll not permit Jackie to answer any more of your questions. Maybe you'd better know the truth of things, ma'am. I'm hunting train robbers and killers. They took the lives of three men on the Union Pacific last night and got away with cash. Again? Yep, again. And Bill Andrews busted out in jail just a little while before. Jackie, you know anything about that? Let me tell you first, son, that whatever you answer, I don't know if it's true or not. Now, why don't you help along and tell me where Bill's hiding now? I don't know. You didn't I see any last night? I ain't saying anything. And you can do what you want with me. Maybe this will sort of refresh your memory. I understand that a message was brought to you a few days back, telling you to take Bill's cash and leave it where he'd go first to look for it. Did you do that? Jack, you can't make me talk. I'll make you talk.  Well, I... One moment, Sharon. Well? How could Jack have done what you say if he didn't leave this house all night? He did leave it. Wouldn't I be more likely to know that than you? You sure of what you say? Of course I am. He's just a boy. And the way you come here and question him is enough to brighten a grown man.  There are killers around here.  Why didn't you say in the first place he hadn't left the house? Dad, rat it. Someone has made a mistake. Miss Winters, that was swell of you. Jackie, I didn't really fib. The sheriff thought I said that you were here all night. Now, look, Jackie, I don't think Bill's guilty at all. I know he ain't. Bill wouldn't do that. You must tell me the truth, Jackie. Otherwise, I can't help you.  Yes. Did you meet your brother? No, I didn't. What did you do? Well, I was sent word that he was going to get free. I did get a message like the sheriff said. It told me to put Bill's cash where he could get it. I put it in a hollow tree we both know of. That's where Bill meant for me to put it. But, Jackie, don't you see, if you tell a sheriff that, it would prove that Bill didn't rob the train. Behead, he wouldn't have needed to put you in danger to get his cash. He wouldn't have needed that cash. I won't tell a sheriff anything. He'd make me tell who brought him in the message from Bill. I won't double-cross Bill's friends that helped him get loose. You won't ask. I had a hunch I might hear something if I listened outside. Jeff, wait a minute. Listen, I... He ain't old. You already know. Now, young'un, remember you're old enough to jail. And I'll jail you for ainting and hiding a killer from the law. You better talk fast and tell all you know. I won't tell a thing. You talk or go to jail. Where's Bill Highton? I don't know. Jake, you've got to tell him. I'll tell you I don't know and no one can make me tell. Now, if you want to jail me, go ahead and do it. The curtain falls on the first act of tonight's Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. While the sheriff tried to get information from Jackie Andrews, Steve Logan and his right-hand man, Jake, rode toward Jane with his home. The best thing for us to do, Jake, is to let the sheriff have plenty of proof that Bill's the one stuck up the train last night. But the kid, what about him? The kid helped him. The kid was one of the three crooks in that stranger in the cafe was a third. How's that sound? Good enough. We want the kid to tell him passing that message from Bill. What's his word again ours? Besides, I got the evidence all planted. Looks like the sheriff's horse outside Jane Winner's place. Yeah, that's his room all right. I reckon he's there already. I just wish Bill hadn't got loose. That's the thing that's bothering me. You reckon his suspicions are through state of things? Oh, don't see how he could. Oh, there. Oh, oh, oh. The sheriff's in there all right enough. Yeah. I can't tell you what you want to know. I didn't see Bill. Listen, Jake, before we go in. You lie about not seeing up in this house last night. You lie when you say you don't know where Bill's here. Now let's go inside. We want to speak to the sheriff. Did you learn anything? I reckon we did, Sheriff. I searched my place, like you said, and found that Bill Andrews had been hiding out there. Where'd he go? They got away. I reckon that stranger we've seen in the cafe must have met him. But he's the one that stuck up the train all right. I found this. No folding money. Yeah. He overlooked these bills. I found them with some of his discarded boots in the shack where he hid. Pied ginger. That's the sort of cash that was stole from the train. And the boost we found was Bill Andrews' all right because a lot of the boys have seen him wearing them. Bill didn't rob that train. Why are you putting a blame on him after helping him to get free? Me helping him? Well, that's a good one. You did so. It was one of your own men that brought me that note from Bill. Is that the truth? Sheriff, I'm surprised that you're thinking such a thing of me. If I'd helped him escape, do you think I'd fetch this information to you? I don't know. Sheriff, you did too. What's more, if he's got any of the stolen cash from the train, he's the one that robbed it. Can't you see that? That's foolish talk. Sheriff, the chances are that the kid here was the third one of the train robbers. Why, you want it? So, there were three of them. That stranger, Bill and Jackie.  He admits that? Yes. I told you where I went. I took Bill's savings to the hide-and-place just as the note Red Fenton brought from Bill told me to do. What hide-and-place? A hollow tree. The chances are you already know about it. Fenton's likely told you. Sheriff, ain't it likely that Bill has hid some of the stolen cash in that tree? Maybe so. He didn't steal the cash. You show us where that tree is, Jackie. I want to have a look in it. I'll show you. And I'll show you that there ain't a dollar of stolen cash in it. Jackie led the sheriff, Steve Logan and Jake to the hiding-place in the trunk of a hollow tree. There it is. I didn't go out to rob no train last night, and I didn't see Bill. I just slipped his own savings in there. Well, just have a look.  Can you reach down far enough, Sheriff? Yeah, and there's something here. There is. And it's Bill's savings. He ain't come to get it yet. Like fun, Mrs. Bill's savings, this is new folding money. How'd that get there? Easy enough. Your brother and you hid it there. We did not. That's more of Steve Logan's doing. He robbed that train, and he's trying to frame me and Bill. That's too thin, Jackie. I'll have to take you along to the jail. And I'm willing to bet that when you find Bill Andrews, you'll find that stranger with a white horse at the same time. There's your three train robbers, and I'm claiming part of the reward. Sheriff, Sheriff, I can't believe him. Come on, kid. It's jail for you. It's the luckiest thing you're so young. Or you judge what your brother and the other man will get when we locate him. You'd hate. Jackie was taken to jail. Everyone in town was given a description of the stranger the sheriff had seen in the cafe, and told of the reward that was offered for his capture. No one, however, paid any attention to the Indian, who moved from one group of excited men to another, gathering facts to take back to the small camp in the Cottonwoods. When the Lone Ranger and Bill Andrews heard what Tano reported, the masked man said, that proves beyond a doubt that Steve Logan is the thief.  He planted that money in your old boots and in that hiding place. He has the rest of the stolen cash. And he's got to be made to give it up. Let me out in these ropes. Let me go and face that skunk. Just a minute, Bill. How far do you think you'd get? The sheriff's already convinced that you and your brother were in on the robbery. Nothing you could say would change his mind. Maybe not, but I'd have the pleasure of drilling lead through Steve Logan's double-crossin' hide. That wouldn't help your brother, any. And to think I put Jackie in this spot, just because I thought Logan was a friend and could be trusted. Are you convinced now that I'm a friend? If it hadn't been for you, I'd either be in jail or dead. Will you help me prove that Steve is guilty? How can you prove it? He knows it as long as he don't confess. The law can't prove nothing. Will you help me try to prove the truth? What's your scheme? You'll have to do just what I tell you, Bill, and do it without question, regardless of how foolish it may seem to you. What is it? Tano, cut the ropes, or Bill will be free to go. I'll come to fix him. Now you turn this way now. Can you reach him? Good enough. Gosh, it's great to be rid of them ropes. Rub your wrist a little. Those ropes were pretty tight. We had to be sure you didn't get loose. I know. I know I was playing fool enough to think you was the one that was aiming to get me. Well, I know different now. You just tell me what to do, Mr. and count on that same being done.  Yeah? Steve Logan doesn't know where you've disappeared. Still look on him as your friend. The ornery snake.  You've got to ask for his help. How do my best to hide how I feel about him? There may be some risk. You may need a gun. I'm going to let you take one. But I want your promise that you will not use it, except if it's necessary to save your life. All right. I want you to promise not to shoot to kill. This gun, Bill, has never shot a man except to wound him. No one has died from a bullet fired by this weapon. All right, Mr. I'll see that you will have any cause to notch the handle. You'll ask Steve Logan to help you get out of the country with the buck board. You'll have a lot of your property on it. But you'll load up from your old home. Hi, Savvy. I'll get to see Jane Winters just as soon as you give the word. Following the Lone Ranger's instructions, Bill Andrews took the buck board by the shortest route to Steve Logan's ranch. This morning, quickly, he wrapped on the door. Bill Andrews, what are you doing here? Steve, I sent you away this afternoon. I couldn't put you in a danger having me found here. Where have you been? In Hyden. I waited till dark and I got a buck board and a couple of horses. I stopped at my own place and got the rest of my clothes. Now I'm ready to hightail it. Oh, yeah. Ain't seen the kid, brother. No. My best move is to get clear of this part of the country.  No. I ain't nothing to work on. I appreciate all you've done for me, Steve. But there's one thing more I got to ask you. I've got cash to pay you for some grub. Grub? Yeah. I don't dare try to buy none at the stores near here. Now I'll have to have food. If you could pack some on my buck board, I could travel by night in high daytime and travel for weeks without showing myself. I reckon I can fix you up, Bill. Gosh, thanks. You and Jake stay here. I'll go see about stocking your rig. Where is it? Out back? Yeah. Good enough. Take care of him, Jake. I sure will. Hey, Red. Ain't that Bill Andrews that's come in? Yeah, and he's figuring on me to let him have grub so he can make his getaway. Playing right into my hand. What are you figuring on doing? Planting a little more of the stolen cash. Some of the first robbery that's already been listed with the sheriff. Then what? Then letting him get off my ranch and on the trail and then shooting him. Seems like you're giving away an awful lot of cash, Steve. We got to do it, Red. We got to have evidence of plenty again, Bill Andrews. The sheriff would never believe the story that we drilled him, making him escape if he went without some of the stolen cash. Well, that's so. Here, take this box. I'll put a couple of cans of grub in it and feed it down. I'll put these in. I'm down. I will hide some of the cash in there and some more grub and put it on the buck board. Steve Logan packed the supplies care plate. Then with Red's help, he loaded the boxes on the buck board. Yeah, that'll do. It's a smart move to sacrifice part of the cash to make the case again incomplete. Now, Red, saddle up and give for the sheriff. Right. You'll likely find him around town if he ain't watching Jane Winter's place. Good enough, Steve. I'll find him. Now to get him started on a trail. You're all set, Bill. And the sooner you start, the better. That suits me. Forget paying for the vitals. You're right. Welcome to them. God, Steve, thanks. Come on. Me and Jake will see you started on your way. Good enough. Get up there! Rain up, Bill. What's the matter? Rain up a minute. Go over there. Go over there. Oh, no. I reckon me and Jake will turn back here, Bill. You're on the trail now. Yep. I'm on the trail, all right, Steve? The right trail. What do you mean, by putting it that way? The trail or the train, Robbers. Heist your hands. What's the... Raise them, you two, Jake. Are we all gone, local? I was, local, thinking you was my friend, but I ain't now. I'll show you. Oh, my hands. Quiet against, Stephen.  Come on!  What's this? Please take over now, Bill. Sheriff, I just located this outlaw. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! I mean, get the guns. What's the meaning of this?  The masked man made me watch every move you made. We've seen you through the window when you loaded the cash in that box. We've seen you pack the box on the buck board. Wait, that cash was stolen cash. We waited till you left the house to see the rest of it in your hiding place and make sure. Your friend, Red, is already on his way to jail with the deputy. And I know it all along that you double-crossed me to cover your own robberies. I just wish I had a different shoot now, and I swear I'd thrill you. You'd better give me that one, Bill, before you shoot again. Thanks. I'll lend a bit, Lone Ranger. Lone Ranger. Lone Ranger. I opened a gun, Sheriff, and seen Silver Bulletin. And that accounts for the persuading ways he had. Dad, Rat it, mister. I'm right honored to have been your prisoner while you let me see the two facts come out. Sheriff, can't you take these crooks in the buck board? Sure, why, Bill? I want to borrow Steve Logan's horse and saddle. I gotta ride and get my kid brother out in the jail, and I gotta take him to Jane Winters and tell him the great news. Oh, ahead! Get off that saddle. Let go of me. There. Yep. Thanks, Lone Ranger. Thanks, no end.   Oh, it's most too good to be true. And you, Jane, you and Jack are the only ones that never lost faith in me. Hello, Co-Pill Andrews. What about that mask, man? That's so. The two of you and the Lone Ranger. I reckon with three friends like that, I was richer than I'd have been if I had stuck up those trains. The feature of the Lone Ranger incorporated.
