click this video because you want to go over some nutrition among exam case study practice. So this is fun. I have developed a PowerPoint for my VIP Board Exam Prep Academy students where we just go over multiple case nutrition questions. So after you've had a chance to study nutrition, do you really know everything you have to know for the board exam, either for dental hygiene students or dental assisting students? Let's just jump right into it and let's go over some questions. So I'm going to be sharing my screen here. Let's just go let's just pick something. I'm going to go down here and we're just going to get started with some questions. So feel free to pause the video if you need longer to think about a question. I'm going to read the question to you and then think about the answer. Whoops, I did it again where I went to the next slide. I didn't mean to. Sorry, guys. So a patient complains of too sensitivity and weak enamel. On further assessment, you discover that they frequently consume acidic foods and beverages throughout the day, which nutrient deficiency is likely contributing to these symptoms. So always pay attention to the question. Too sensitivity, weak tooth enamel, you discover they're always consuming acidic foods and beverages. So think, you know, apples, orange juice, apple juice, just there's constant acidity. Even coffee is very acidic. Pop is acidic. Which nutrient deficiency is likely contributing to these symptoms? So what are their symptoms again? You have to go up to the first part, which is too sensitivity and weak enamel. So let's just go right into it and I'll explain the answer to you guys. Sorry, I forgot to highlight it by the looks of it. But the answer is calcium deficiency. Let me just change that right now. Calcium deficiency. So this is essential calcium is essential for tooth mineralization and strengthening tooth enamel. When you often consume acidic foods and beverages, this can lead to erosion of tooth enamel and inadequate calcium intake can compromise enamel strength. Calcium deficiency may contribute to too sensitivity and weak enamel. So you probably know this, but calcium is really good for the teeth. It helps to build bones overall, but there's teeth need calcium too because of the enamel. It's kind of like a hard tissue. It's kind of like a bone. Our teeth are held into place by bone, bones of our jaws basically, right? So if you're not getting enough calcium, it's weakening the tooth at the same time. If you are getting enough calcium, it's making your enamel stronger and everything stronger. So I hope that helps to make sense a little bit. Let's just move on to the next one here. A patient presents with dry, flaky skin and hair loss on further assessment. You discover that they have been following a very low fat diet, which essential nutrient deficiency is likely contributing to these symptoms. So not good, right? They have dry skin, hair loss. They're following a low fat diet. For us to be healthy, we do need fat in our diet.  This is all inside your nutrition module. If you're not inside the VIP Boarding Sam Prep Academy, look in your textbook, look in your chapter on nutrition, and you will see we need a wide variety of nutrients, and fat is one of them. We need to have enough fat for many, many things, but what nutrient deficiency is contributing to these symptoms? Could it be carbs, proteins, fats, or vitamins? Let's just move right into it. It is going to be fats. So I hope I didn't give you guys the answer.  So I'm sorry. But so as I said, so we're talking about fats. Fats are an essential nutrients that play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and hair, among other things. A very low fat diet may lead to a deficiency in essential fatty acids, which can result in dry, flaky skin and hair loss. Not fun, right? So everything needs to be balanced. You know, too much carbs, too much fats, too much proteins isn't a good thing. But when you're not having enough, it's not a good thing either. Let's go over one more here. Skipping through my slides. There we go. Let's kind of mix it up. Let's just go down a little bit to answer a different question here that's not talking about carbs, fats, and proteins. I think they all kind of are. Maybe I'll go up here. Okay, guys, they kind of all are. Let's just try this one. What do you guys think? So a patient presents with enamel hypoplasia week two structure and delayed tooth eruption. On further discussion, you discover that they have been on a restrictive diet with very low calorie intake, which nutrient deficiency is likely contributing to their dental issues. If you're a student inside the board exam prep academy, I have charts for you where I go over vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin A, iron everything, and what happens when you're deficient in those things. So if you're not a student, I'm curious if you know the answer. If you are a student of mine, you probably know this. So the answer again is calcium deficiency. So because we're talking about enamel hypoplasia week two structure, when it comes to the teeth, it's not always the answer. But when in doubt, calcium is probably the answer. If you don't have enough calcium, your teeth aren't strong enough. If your teeth aren't strong enough, when your teeth develop, the enamel isn't strong enough. So then you have problems. So getting enough calcium is crucial and so important. So I hope that helped you guys. I went over a couple questions. I hope that helped. If you have any questions, let me know and if you want to see more mock exam practice, definitely sign up for the VIP Board Exam Prep Academy.

Parmoyl is in this multi-billion dollar industry, and they throw a few hundred thousand, definitely a million, at conservation, and that just greaves their image enough so that it can carry on and converts your natural foils into all-parm. But if you have a squaggy loysiw of land in the tropics that has enough rainfall, Parmoyl is the crop for you, because it produces more, value more product per unit area than any other crop. And when your hands, my colleague from Grasp, who's also at the meeting in Salo, but he's staying to the end, and I feel this is going to talk to you. When your hands gets here, I'm sure he'll give you the rundown on the study that Grasp funded on the economics of maritime conservation and sustainable forest management. It was published at the end of last year. It was a paper, a booklet, really, published by UNEP at the request of the Indonesian government. And the conclusion there was not only is Parmoyl the most profitable crop you can grow in a tropical area with enough rainfall, but that it can be more profitable to leave the forest natural if you can trade the carbon at the current price. And if carbon prices go up as they're predicted to, then that obviously looks even more profitable. And if you start to get more ecosystem services monetised, that is everyone on the planet, as I'm sure you're aware, benefits from tropical rainforests. The way we benefit varies according to the distance we are from them. If you live in New York, or in Jakarta, or in Alachariah, your benefits are from tropical forests. And the role of apes in those forests, as indeed elephants, and childrens, and taekwyrs, and other large mammals, the fruit eating animals play a very important role. Some of you will have heard about this ad nauseam for a long time. And you haven't been seeing it as I would back on about it to you too. The role of the fruit eating mammals is essentially in a tropical forest because in tropical forests, unlike those in the temperate parts of the world, between 75 and 95% of the tree species have their seeds dispersed by animals. A few have been dispersed by wind, some by water, flooding seeds and so on. But a large proportion, depending on which forest you're in as to what that proportion is, the vast majority have been quite animals. And I would say this in the C4, which is a bad thing because I'm not a forester. But the principle is that this is a kind of evolution between fruit eating animals and fruit trees. And with that point of view, the reason why apes are important to red discussions and why, in my opinion, some of the vast sums of money that we've been told about and put on the table for red should be going to apes conservation. Because the forests need the apes as much as the apes need the forests. And the drawback, and I hope this will be reflected in the opportunity we have to put out for this meeting some guidelines from policy makers, the drawback is that people who are thinking about forest conservation, particularly now in tropical forests, are valued for the carbon storage and the sequestration that they provide in the world. They're valued as a collection of trees. I had an exchange at Forest Day 3 or 4, I think it was, where a carbon scientist, when I asked from the floor whether they were concerned about the relevant to the forest, she said her job was to measure the carbon and decide how much the forest stores and how that changes over time. There's more carbon or less carbon, we'll be able to have that on the forest days. And my response was, well, that's like weighing in carbon.  But it doesn't work. And if you take the animals out of a forest, if it's a forest that depends on how you foresee this verse, then the next generation of trees will be affected. And you'll see, as studies are beginning to show, as people are studying forests that have been overhunted, the animals that have been removed from the forest, the recruitment trees is changing. So the species composition will change. Now some botanists see a correlation between seed size and wood density. And a denser tree is going to store more carbon than a light tree. That's why being a bold, hardwood tree is small so it's more carbon than a case that is very thriving in seven years and then harvested. So solid dense old trees have lots of carbon, it's been a long time to get there, so it's standing at least one. At least one is a store of thousands of years of carbon stored on the ground. But in an old forest where the big trees are up to a thousand years old, that's been stored in carbon too. And you can't replace that forest with a new, young forest that expected to have the same amount of carbon per square kilometre. And if that forest is in the tropics and depends on animals, and particularly those tree species which have large seeds obviously need a large animal because small fruit trees can't eat large seeds. You mean apes and elephants. There's another role that apes play in a forest which has not, to my knowledge, been carefully studied, but is self-eminent. When you watch an ape, I'm not saying I'm going to be my visual ape here. I'm not superstitious, so I'm not worried about putting it inside. If you imagine this as a rainforest tree, if it's a young tree, small enough for an ape to climb and build a nest in, what happens when the ape builds a nest in steps? They break the branches and form a tight little ball which is a comfortable place for an ape to spend the night. But that of course creates a light gap in the canopy. And if you have a population of apes doing this all over the forest every day, every evening, they build a nest, they build branches for a tight little ball. That has a big impact on the structure of the canopy. For one thing, it creates little bundles of dead wood and leaves in the top of the trees. Now, to my knowledge, we want to study the role of that place in the distribution and number of wood-boring insects. But beetles need dead wood and in most forests, there isn't that much dead wood because it's all alive. So you've got animals here that are creating little pockets of dead wood and decomposition is going on up there. Probably with different species that's going on down there. So in terms of biodiversity, apes are doing that. But in terms of the health of the forest, four apes builds a nest. It sleeps in the nest and digests the previous day's food and usually during the night or firstly in the morning they relieve themselves over the side of the nest and the seeds fall right on the other tree where they build the nest. The nest has just created a light gap in the canopy. So you've got seeds, which have been scarified by the chewing, have been partially digested so the exterior coating has been reduced to the point where the moisture can get in and it can germinate. The seed lies on the floor in a ball of dome which then decomposes and produces an isopropylizer and it's under a gap in the canopy so the light comes down and feeds that seed. And that's why people have studied germination rates and seedling survival of trees whose seeds have passed through anemones compared to those that have just fallen for under the parent plant find that much higher rates of germination on the seeds have been chewed and dispersed. And of course with large animals it goes some distance. So that problem of seeds falling not very far from the parent plant is solved by the use of anemones. So you take those anemones out of the forest you're going to have a serious problem. One of the big issues in red and one of the reasons why red is so slowly up the ground and it's still so controversial is forests don't seem very permanent. If you can boil those of forests within a matter of months so you can, people do it still I think how permanent is a carbon storm? So what if you say okay with a red the payment is not for the carbon in the forest the payment is for a promise to keep the forest and it's carbon intact for 50 or 100 years. That's what you're paying for. You're paying for the storage of the carbon, not the actual carbon itself. And if you're paying for that storage you want to be sure that when all trees die and decompose that carbon that's locked up in the leaves and branches and roots doesn't just go into the atmosphere you want it to be captured by new trees. And if the new trees depend on seed dispersal then you need to have a healthy forest. This is why in a lot of my lectures over the past few years the line-out making is that if tropical rainforests of Amazonia, Africa and Southeast Asia are essential to the health of the planet and there seems to be general consensus like that is the case and if apes are essential to the health of the forest then protecting apes is not just a matter of all their other species and their mother-likeers and their interests to study in and their fascinating intelligence, social beings all those are very good reasons and those are the reasons why many of us are involved in studying in the first place because they are fascinating. But if there are also keystone species in a habitat which is of global importance then we should be taking them more seriously for that reason. So I hope during these days we'll be thinking a little bit about the function of apes playing in those forests. So for the people who are living in the community in the forest, the abundance of fish and mammals and birds and fruits and other resources around them the decline in apes or other endangered species that leads governments to say we want to create a national park and exclude people actually creates poverty. We take a community that had everything the community would want except perhaps lots of money and modern gadgets and gizmos but they were living a good life a life that humans have been living for a millennia and suddenly something comes along and says no you've got to move to this side of the arbitrary line that we're going to draw and on this side it's just a nature and suddenly you don't have access to those resources so you have been made poor by conservation. Is there any surprise a community like that feel pretty nulled about what conservation does? That's not always the case but there are still cases of communities who have not been compensated for losing their traditional lands and because their traditional lands go back beyond that culture's option of writing there's no records and it's very hard for them to prove other than through oral tradition that's why they all lived. It's very interesting seeing what happens when you bring modern technology into those sorts of communities. Grasp co-sponsors have worked with the forest people's programme in Cameroon and they use one of these data maps to go around with the pigments in the forest this is a tree that fruits at this time of the year and this is about a cast of millers feed and we have lots of nutritious cast of millers from this tree they went round the forest and what they found was that the parts of the forest that were most prized and valuable to the big business were the parts of the forest where the highest energy of goronos and chimpanzees so the traditional use of the forest was entirely compatible with the healthy forests with chimpanzees but what happens when pigments' skills are utilised by a businessman who wants to establish being a talent is that suddenly their use of the forest becomes unsustainable or worse still they bring in other hunters from town the timber company comes in opens up the forest and once there's a road network in the forest anyone will be getting into the middle of the forest and this vehicle is coming back and forth so tucking amongst the wood on the vehicle if you've not seen the photographs and maybe seen some of the interviews of the drivers and the drivers are driving from the forest carrying logs to the sawmill and they'll be exported to Europe or Japan or wherever the furniture factory is and the drivers say well look, if you're driving on the road and you see a 20 dollar bill on the side of the road you'll stop and begin over in your pocket and to then drive past a dead animal that some hunter has stuck a mistake beside the road it's a 20 dollar bill you can buy it from the hunter for a small price take it to the city and sell it for a higher price because as was observed by one of our African colleagues it's people in the cities with money and pockets who can afford to pay premium price for bushbeats that generates that train and once something becomes a commercial commodity almost always what happens if you look at the history of fisheries the history of exploitation of wild mammals wild birds once it becomes a commodity and the market is limitless a natural population can be which is fast enough and it starts to decline and at some point it won't go extinct you've all seen the pictures of passenger pigeons darkening the sky in the 19th century in America and people just shot bill in the air shot dead birds with four out of the air and thought they could never run out of passenger pigeons until the last one died in the sea so however many there were to start with if the offtake is so high that it's unsustainable that population will decline unless some self control comes into it and humans are technically bad at self control we'll try and restrain ourselves but self-restraint is not one of us on these points because we tend to go for what's good for us and not necessarily what's good for the whole community or for the whole planet this matters a lot with apes because you all aren't sure very well they have a very slow life cycle slow reproductive rating and if with orangutans you've got a childhood in the last seven or eight years and a female is only going to produce a very small number of offspring in her life African apes are a little shorter childhood but still a very small percentage offtake of an ape population will send into decline and therefore once apes become a commodity whether it's for five babies or for dead apes, trophies, skulls hands, whatever the commercial value of the bit of the ape is if it becomes a commodity and there's a limit that's marked then numbers will decline and we've seen it happen and everything that's going to stop that is not doing something to the apes most conservation workers, I'm sure you're aware is not doing stuff to animals somebody else, Tony helped individual animals in these events but most of it is keeping humans back from doing the stuff that we do that is donating to them and if those humans are in poverty and they don't have other options then what are you going to say to them don't do that, it will stop or don't do that because I can offer you something better this is one of the things that I'm very much in use here because the guerrilla organisation did a very innovative thing when it first got underway in the UK it was a separate organisation it talked to the people that lived around with the guerrilla workers and asked them what they thought were the priorities and the sort of things that they wanted was a supply of water people walked into the park where there was a forest and shade and rain and streams to get water and so putting in water systems to catch rain water school roofs and that sort of thing helped better agricultural practices what's a guerrilla organisation doing teaching people about organic farming well, it does because it increases the price, it increases the output from the fields and beekeeping beekeeping is a great thing to teach someone because there are all sorts of things about the company and these go out and do positive things and they're in poverty and flowers, so giving people alternative livelihoods this is something that WCS is doing in Nigeria, they're actually targeting coaches in 2009, some of you know I was the ambassador for the UN Year of the Guerrilla and one of the things I did was to travel across Africa by public transport where it was possible talking to people so I talked to a student on the bus in Uganda and you can see some of these interviews online if you've got the time the little film called State of the Guerrilla Journal and the student on the bus is called Brian he said what the hell on the radio that it was a year of the guerrilla he said it's like someone walking up to Brian today is the world day for hands and for him it was like this somehow and a stupid concept but then he thought about it and realised that perhaps it was the limit and that's particularly important for in Gambins to realise that because in the past 30 years guerrillas and their habitats have gone from being a drain on the country's economy just another cost to protect a forest that nobody really sees the value of to be in the top 3 foreign exchange learners of the country and I'm sure that the Indonesian and Malaysian people here are aware of the importance of guerrilla tourism but I don't know I was asking someone on the plane yesterday to tell us about Jakarta whether she knew how much people paid for a ticket to go and see the family amount of guerrillas and she said $100 $500 for one hour to go and see the family of guerrillas and the reason is $500 it starts at $500, it starts with $80 and it's been creeping up every couple of years since because there are enough people who will pay their amount and people in the industry say actually you could probably put it up to $1,000 and you still sell most of your permits but it would make it unreachable for people to go and experience that but then something in guerrillas monetary value but guerrilla tourism and the Jim & Z tourism which is falling as well there are definite drawbacks to it it's not a system that can be applied everywhere probably the origin of tourism is to pay that sort of money for every population of apes to generate enough money to fund their conservation so many mountain guerrillas have been lucky but in that first they had an extraordinary woman looking after them Diolch yn fawr, which is where I came into this old story when I first went to Rwanda in 1976 it was to work as Diolch's assistant at the research centre and at that time guerrilla tractors were basically farmers who were diolch yn fawr they were often barefoot but sometimes they'd get a second hand paraboot from one of the researchers that was leaving they were wearing rags there were their work clothes and obviously they didn't want to put their best clothes on to work in the forest but it wasn't exactly a career it was something that they did on the side to get a great deal of money to supplement their farming you could have run for today and this was a wonderful thing during this year of guerrilla journey one of the interviews I did was one of the guerrilla guides Edward he was standing there in his uniform and he'd been doing for 15, 20 years or so he's a fairly wealthy guy and surrounding him were little lads boys from the surrounding villages now in 1976 when I was walking up to the park little lads were saying can I help carry you back and I thought she said oh yes but it can be a thank you and I was a bit surprised when they wanted money for her because I was that green in arriving in Africa for the first time but now these little lads are looking at people like Edward and people like Tony and that career aspiration is I want to go to school I want to be a guerrilla guy or a veteran and some of you got guerrillas as being not just a main state of the national economy not just an employer but indirectly generating lots of jobs but seeing career paths for the next generation and that really is quite inspiring because other kids just across the border in the DRC being brought up in armed rebel camps where their parents go out and kill people or mutilate people or they don't kill everybody they just kill a few to terrorise because there are still armed militias living in the forest in the DRC exploiting natural resources mining killing animals to feed their miners some of the miners are forfe labour some of them are there voluntarily to make money but it's a very unsatisfactory state of affairs and those kids are growing up in communities where violence and human rights abuses have been weak on everyday practice that's what their parents do and you see what sort of role model is there for me as compared to the more inspiring ones in the better organised sites they're buying so poverty and aid conservation one of the things I'm trying to get across to people who see rural tourism or chimpanzee tourism potentially orangutan tourism although it's never taken off in a big way I have to say when I first brought tourists to Indonesia to see orangutans because I ran the trustee of the orangutan foundation in UK and we came the first time with the film crew to make a documentary about the work we do there but I then came with tourists and some of these tourists have actually been with me on trips in Africa to see the rows and chimpanzees there so they knew the kind of money you have to pay to get tickets to see a great aid and we get to Tangin Putti National Park and this was some years ago I don't know what the current price is someone from Tangin Putti can you tell me how much the permit to go to the park and to see orangutans is now so when I first went there to see the tourism I think you've moved out about 20x 30 cents one of which actually went to orangutans went to the government, to Jakarta so even now it is a more class experience to walk through a rainforest to see a shaggy ape planting through the trees and I fear you are understanding it so if you are working in one of these rural parks your revenue receipts would be thousands of times more and yet the experience is not that dissimilar and the people who are really interested would pay more so one of the things that we might discuss in the next two days is how the orangutan viewing experience could be made more special or would make someone in addition to the $7 that the regulatory was paying that would make them want to pay another $100 a person is called a tool by one of your experts who can explain everything about orangutans that might do it so some extra special thing because that way your park would start to generate more and you might kill more of your costs and it might bring in a much different kind of tourism so I think great ape tourism is never going to be mass tourism most of us are people who are going to be able to see apes having said that there are places where that does happen and I am thinking in some of the second log the orangutan viewing is done in a small patch of forest which is stocked with really too many orangutans from the forest of support they are dependent on provisioning of food and every day the visitors pay a modest amount I think a little more than in those but what they like as much is what we are viewing to stand on a wall walk and look across at orangutans being failed and for most people that's fine but even there are a way that if you give an option of a $100 special tour where the vet in place or some other specialist talked about their work and what they were doing people would pay that because the fascination for apes is part of the reason why we are here but what I would like to stress is that even apes that are not being visited by tourists therefore don't pay to have any monetary value they are part of an ecosystem which now is being run at times and whether it is through its ability to store and sequester to store carbon or whether it is through the rainfall generation again some people have seen the graphite gas sometimes used of global rainfall where you can clearly see how the evaporative evaporative transformation in rain forests can drive the weather systems that water the rest of the world and if you look at the way that rainfall from Africa comes across and joins the rainfall and sanitation and it goes across westwards across the Atlantic to join the Amazon and it sends off streams of rain across North America walking the coal belt in the Midwest across the Atlantic to Britain and Europe everywhere there are farmers dependent on rain they should be considering how to protect tropical forests and they are not I often use water as an example if you are a drinker and some of you may not be a drinker but either way if the the drink that you enjoy comes from a fruit it is a grape or a mango it depends on the rain and much of the world's water vapor is travelling in the atmosphere because of tropical rain forests there are some regression scientists who have been proposing this idea of the forest being a global one people are talking about this should be a global prize for this concept that the rain forests in the moment are pumping the water around the world when we think of water we almost invariably think of the liquid form because it is not enough of the frozen form because it is melting as temperatures rise but it is water vapor which is how most water moves around the world and if you look at what the evapotranspiration from tropical forests does it pumps water into the atmosphere in Oxford there is an organisation called the Global Calibre Programme and they estimate that a square kilometre of tropical forest is pumping into the atmosphere 10 times the amount of water in a square kilometre of the ocean just because the ocean has got one surface even if it is a bit choppy whereas tropical forest has got trillions of leaves each one of which has a stirrata which is pumping out water vapor and although rain forests receive a lot of rain a lot of it stays up there and moves on to water membrane periods so both locally and globally are dead to tropical forests and we are not paying that debt we are reducing the area of forest and increasing the amount of CO2 that goes into the atmosphere and that is why forests are so important to the carbon discussions and why I hope increasingly we recognise that the forests we are talking about include the apes so in terms of bringing relief to poverty-stricken communities if the money is going to come from northern industrial countries or companies as an offset against their greenhouse gas emissions because it is going to take them decades to change their technology and move to a low carbon industrial future then for a short window of opportunity we have potentially billions of dollars which if spent wisely could help us to achieve the millennial development goals and the targets of the world set itself to reduce poverty and improve health care and all that education and help a lot of biodiversity that is a huge potential and one of the drawbacks is of course that whenever anyone starts talking about billions of dollars it attracts people who are more interested in billions of dollars than they are in the goals of the people living the money and we are still seeing how the mechanism for red funding will go and I hope that some of the people who have been working on these pilot projects for a particularly if they are involving great aid, a happy task will have something concrete to tell us because the hope was that there will be information from pilot projects some time ago and it is still very slow in coming but we have an opportunity here we have a room full of people and interesting people from many walks of life and different communities and I think different disciplines there might be a rather strong emphasis on people who are studying primaries but there are also people who have other related skills and they do say that if you throw a bunch of people enough interesting people into a room and give more of a typewriter they could by the end of it write lots of Shakespeare we are not asking for that what we are asking for is policy guidelines so if you as a group of people we could influence the policy and if there is one thing that politicians need they don't always take it but they do need it so if we as a group can shape our ideas and give some clear indications I would think this would be a success for two days I am really grateful for the opportunity to kick things off like this I hope that my roundings haven't been too tedious some of the ideas that we've touched upon if I need poverty the role of apes in forests whether or not they are going to be visited by tourists I didn't go into the big debate about the threats that tourism is bringing to apes I'm sure it's only a little personal to say about that during the next two days but I understand that we still haven't gone from our left so I'd like to throw the floor open I've got some ideas around have any of the things that I've said on the stories I've told make you think rubbish or yes I can give an example of that because now would be a great time to chip in and make it less of a monologue and more of a multi-logic two lights here thank you very much for that nice presentation what I've picked out is the role of property conservation and the role of conservation or soft property conservation now, after having said that after having said the role of conservation in property recreation and the role of in property and the role of what do you think the biggest problem why are we still having a challenge in conservation of bread in a country where we can use conservation to address the poverty issues what do you think is the problem why are we not there I wasn't fortunate enough to be with the first workshop that was held to discuss this but I understand that there was a clear distinction between countries that all they have left is fragments of forests perhaps they value those forests more


Next question is from Dave Sheeran. Is there any detriment to always wearing sunglasses outside? I live in Florida and always have them on when outside. I've seen mixed answers from various articles. Okay, so you know what's interesting about this? So there actually is some potential detriments from wearing sunglasses. I've heard this. I was curious to hear you answer this. Yeah, so your body receives signals from your skin, from the food that you eat, from your emotions, and also from your eyes. And when you go outside, UV rays go through the eyes, and the pituitary gland reads the intensity of the UV rays. And then it puts, I think they're called melanocytes, if I'm not mistaken, into production, which help your skin tan.  Oh, interesting. So it actually would reduce. Damn it. No joke. Your skin, your body helps prepare your skin for how it can adapt to the sun based off of, or one of the factors is reading the UV rays through the eyes.  It thinks there's less UV rays than they really are. You're not going to produce as many of these chemicals that help your skin adapt, and you're more likely to get sun damage. Well, isn't there also health benefits to actually just the sun on your eyeballs, your eyes themselves? Like, because I know that the Juve did some research around the Juve light and looking into the light is actually good for you. And I can't remember what it is, you know, on the worst with that, right? So you're the best with being able to read one study and remember. Yeah. I know I read it. And I know that because I remember like, should I be wearing some sort of eye protection when I do this Juve light all the time? And it was actually the opposite. It was really good for me to be looking at the Juve light when I'm actually doing it. Now that's different than the sun, right? So you don't want to look at the sun that could really. No, no, of course not directly at it. But being outside and the UV. Yeah, like not looking directly at it, but just still receiving that and it not being filtered by a sunglass. I would think that there are other health benefits for your eyes. There are. There are mood boosting benefits. There's hormone boosting benefits. And I don't know about you guys, but I noticed I used to wear sunglasses all the time. So I used to love wearing sunglasses. They look cool. If you're at the pool, you know, when you're, especially when you're a kid, you can put on sunglasses and look at people. And they don't even know you're looking at them type of deal. Yeah, every guy does this. They don't know I'm looking at them. Nobody can tell if I'm wearing sunglasses. But, you know, I remember. Don't love us in that, you pervert.  I saw both of you guys in space. Dude, if they could see what I'm looking at. Yeah, don't tell anybody. No, but here's the deal. I noticed this as an adult. The more I wore them, the more intolerant I became to the sun. So I'll go outside in the sun. And I'm like, oh, I can't. I can't. I need my sunglasses. I never wear them now. That almost never happens to me anymore. So I think you also start to lose your ability to adjust to the changing light. So now I'm not saying don't wear sunglasses. But I think if you were, the question is if you're wearing them all the time, can it be detrimental? Yeah. I mean, the studies do show that. Right. I've heard this and I've actually, yeah, I've tried, I've tried to like challenge myself to kind of not wear them as frequently because it was the first thing when I get in my truck and I'm putting my sunglasses on because I get the glare and everything right away. And I'm always like so squinty and then I'll get a headache from being so squinty with that. So for me, it's just like the level of brightness. Like I'll try and like, I'm very squinty. That's the secret. I can't see. I'm always like that.  It comes with the skin. Yeah. But have you noticed any difference from wearing them or not wearing them? Whether or not you get sunburn easier or not? I haven't noticed that. And I wonder how strong the effect is. I wonder. I also learned, so you know that Felix Gray, I'm over here just plugging in all our sponsors. Felix Gray, this was not intended. We're doing a count. I promise. But no, Felix Gray makes sunglasses too. So I wonder if there's some difference in their sunglasses, right? Yeah, I think, I mean, a lot of it has to do with comfort, you know, if you're out in the sun. I mean, that's where I could see potentially the benefit. Like if I'm laying out at the beach, I mean, I might need sunglasses, especially if you're laying on your back and you're trying to tan or relax or whatever. And I don't know how strong an effect this is. I would guess that this effect is more important to consider if you're fair skinned, right? So if you're somebody that is very sensitive to the sun, then you may want to consider this, you know, if you're, you know, like I am, when I go out in the sun and I, if I go out in the sun for a couple of days, I'm very, very dark, probably not that big of a deal, big of a problem if I wear sunglasses or not. But for someone like Justin, maybe that's something you should, you know, you should consider. Yeah, but I look cool, so I'll keep doing it. That's true. Yeah.


Hey there friends thanks for checking in. The online Gunstore scam. It's out there. They're all over the place. When I posted my video last week about Gunstore scams I received many comments back of all these other ones and one actually caught my eye. Actually several did but one in particular caught my eye. They are located in Michigan where I am and I decided to check them out. It's Dynasty Firearms and their website is a little more professional than the one that I showed last week but it's still a scam. It is really bad if you look at it. I dove deep into it. I even called them so let's check it out. Well here we are Dynasty Firearms. They have this online chat box already. Don't want to talk to anybody on the phone. Very professional looking website though. Let's take a look at this About Us tab. Our team of experts evaluates and introduces new products whenever they are found to work according to the specifications. Whoa that's deep. If the feedback suggests that the product isn't up with expectations we will remove it from the market. Wow they have a lot of power. Well look at this. We are the first to introduce the lifetime guarantee for every new gun we offer and we guarantee every firearm we sell. Offering an additional layer of insurance as well as another reason to buy from us. Hmm let's see how to order firearms. Let's see. Whoa this is all whitewashed out. You can't see it. But check this out. This Sig P365 396 people are watching this product right now. Right now that's a huge amount of people. Look at it. They have this chat box here. Always a sign that they're going to try to communicate with you any other way than by phone.  How about firearms? Let's see. Handguns and shotguns. We'll start with handguns. Let's take a look at some of the handguns. Whoa look at these. They offer some Bond Arms Derringers. Let's go to page three here. Some classic revolvers. Very nice. How about four? They seem to be priced according to the actual market value. They did their homeworker. At least they know how to copy and paste a picture. It's pretty interesting the way they do this. It's so fake. They have some Bull Armory SAS2. They've got a couple of those. Look at all these. Some optic ready ones. Sig Sour P226 Zev 2 Grand. There's an optic on there. They don't show the whole firearm though. But that's okay. Most people have an idea. All right. More Sigs. Let's check out this. Kaniq SFX Rival. Dark Side. Yeah we'll go with the dark side. Here we go. Whoa that's not the dark side. That's a standard TP9 SFX. What about the dark side? That's the new one that's all black. Hence the dark side. 500 bucks for all this. You get all this in the case. And it's only 500 bucks. It's closer to 600 bucks even more these days. On the bottom of the Contact Us page you'll see the company information. I'm going to highlight it. It's blacked out quite a bit. You can see it's 56851 Chesterfield. That's a township in Michigan. So I go there and we have Sawyer Services. It's not Dynasty Firearms. So what is Sawyer Services? A commercial and industrial electrical services. Wow that's a company that performs electrical services. Doesn't look like a gun store to me. But over here that's their listed address. That's confusing. I wonder if the gun store is actually located in the back of the building. That could be the case. And maybe if that's it then call me at full. I'll go buy a gun tomorrow if that's the truth. Please state your name after the tone and Google Voice will try to connect you. John? We are not available at the moment. Please leave us a message, your name and your number. Hi I'm interested in the Canik SFX rival dark side. I want the one with the tungsten gray finish on the slide. I'm also wondering if I could come pick it up. I live in Michigan. I saw your addresses in Michigan. I've got cash in my pocket. I'm ready to deal. Please let me know. Great site by the way. Really like what you have to offer. Here we are at semi-automatic rifles. They have another bull armory handgun there. Whoa look at this. The fine group of VEPR. You can't get that these days. You cannot get that. $5239.99. You know what? I'm going to add that in my cart. Put that in my cart. Let's check out now. Hmm. Ah yes. And here we go. You got your tax, PayPal, Zell, that one, Venmo, 7% off discount using Venmo. That's good. Cash app, Apple Pay. Hmm. The other one had Bitcoin. How come I can't pay using Bitcoin? Oh this is crazy. All these strange. Let's see if I check this with this. Oh let's see. Let's go. Let's go Venmo. That's taken a long time to think about this. Hmm. I'm trying to make this purchase and I'm thinking PayPal's already checked. Kind of PayPal after placing your order. Contact us via live chat or our email for PayPal detail. Yeah, they want the friends and family so it can't be deducted and brought back to the purchaser. That's why they do that. Zell, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay. So fake. Lastly, let's check out the reviews. The heads don't tab right here but they're all whitewashed out. I can't see them. Really have to look hard to see the reviews. Let's see. Prompt service got exactly what I ordered. Whoa. If you get exactly what you ordered then you know that it must be legitimate. That's from Stephen George out of California. Huh. I wonder if it was on the roster. Great service and best online prices. Fast delivery. Well it's that shipping delay right here. Currently three to seven business days. So I guess all things considered that's not bad you know. Ah yes, Dynasty Firearms. They have it all. Guns, ammo, gear, optics, knives, even primers. They're loaded with primers. You can't find primers anywhere. Oh Dynasty has them and they are nothing more than another proven scam fake online gun store trying to rip you off and it was proven today.

Hey everyone, this is Dr. Ruchio. I'm here with George and Rose, and George has had some help with reading Healthy Good Healthy You and also using our elemental diet amongst other things. Not fully to where he'd like to be, but definitely making some steps on the road to recovery and he was kind enough to share his experience with us today. George, hi. Thanks for sharing your story. Hi, Dr. Thank you. So tell us a little bit about the road to now. Well, I've kind of had a lot of troubles with my stomach. It seems I've struggled with it. It seems like my whole life I've had heartburn problems and I've been on all sorts of medications for that. I've been taking a call that it was maybe six years ago where it was discovered that I had Lyme disease and through that I figured out how to eat properly and change my diet and knew, you know, how important that the gut was to your health. It seems that though I haven't been able to get better and recently I found out that I've got C. diff. So now I'm struggling with C. diff and clearing that out and that's where my wife found your book and, you know, we've read through your book and I've been using your elemental diet and it has been a lifesaver for me. I mean, it truly feels so good in my gut when I get it in there. It's amazing. I've actually been on it now for probably over three months. Now, I'm assuming you're kind of doing a mix and match where you're having some food and some elemental. I've been trying to mix in food but with the C. diff it kind of hasn't been allowing me. So even I've been on pretty much the elemental diet for that amount of time. I've been trying to throw in baby food as much as I can but not having much success. So right now I'm on my third round of antibiotic treatments and starting to kind of have some success where I've started to eat some food but I still have to have those diets to get me through and to get calories in me. Gotcha. So if not for the elemental, really nothing does not go right through you. Yeah. Yeah. With severe stomach cramps and stomach pain and then I mean everything that comes with it. Sure. Sure. And are you using probiotics in conjunction with this? Yes, I have been. We also came across Michelle Moore. I think her information in regards to C. diff and what to use and I was using a lot of her protocols for it all in conjunction with the antibiotics. I mean I believe in herbal medicines and all that also. Sure. But I was on her stuff for about four months and was still having problems and still tested positive. So that's kind of why I'm now back to my third round of treatment and still just trying to get my gut and intestine right. Gotcha. Gotcha. Well I'm not sure if you've heard of the discussions that we've had on the podcast before or just one of your doctors have made you aware of an option to consider down the line once you've exhausted antibiotic therapy, it could be a fecal transplant. Is this something you've heard of? Oh yeah, yeah. We're taking all the steps to get there but we have to do the protocols. Yep. Yes, it's been kind of, I mean that would have been my first go to to be honest with you. I don't have any problem with that but the insurance has a different plan. So right they can do all this first and then they reserve that for the last treatment. Sure. Well if I fail after this third antibiotic round then I'm allowed to go in and do that which I don't understand or why but you know. Now you had been using antibiotics I'm assuming historically somewhat regularly for the line. Is that what you think led up to this position? I think that's what you picked it up. Yeah. Yep. Now were you using probiotics at the same time you were using antibiotics historically during the line treatment? On and off not regularly and definitely not the last the last few years not enough for sure. Okay. Okay. All right. And you tried all three of the probiotics that I recommend in conjunction? No. I have not tried your antibiotics yet. I was working with the mega spores from Ms. Moore's program. Okay. So that's definitely something I would try. He's using all three of the probiotics in conjunction that may be enough to kind of tip you over the edge to where you'll start to see some of the benefit that you're hoping to see and that you haven't seen yet from just one probiotic. It's not a guarantee but there are certainly cases and some of which we've documented here on the program of people who have otherwise been non-responsive to other therapies including probiotics and when finally going on all three in conjunction they saw some significant improvement. And you could almost think of this to pay a loose analogy. You probably started off with one antibiotic and now they may be using a cocktail of multiple antibiotics for the C. diff. It's a similar sort of track for the probiotics where one, and the analogy we use here is if you have a stool like you would sit on, the probiotics are trying to support balance in that ecosystem in your gut. And what you don't want is the ecosystem to fall over into imbalance. So a one-legged stool is somewhat conducive to balance but it's wobbly. But the three different types of probiotics together are more conducive to supporting balance in that ecosystem in your gut. So something to talk with your doctor about and consider incorporating into the current treatment plan that you have for your C. diff. Well, I want to do those while I'm doing the antibiotic treatment. Would I want to start those afterwards or what would I want to be putting those in? This is definitely something I want to run by your doctor first. However, there is a fair amount of evidence showing that when probiotics are taken conjunctively with antibiotics, they actually increase the clearance rate of a given infection. This has been documented for H. pylori. It's been documented for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It's been documented for certain fungal infections. I'm not sure if this has been studied in C. diff specifically or if it has, I haven't seen any of those studies. But there seems to be this general trend that antibiotics and probiotics work synergistically, which makes sense when we understand that probiotics actually exert antibacterial action. So again, clear this with your doctor, but certainly the majority of the data thus far suggests that the probiotics will potentiate the ability of the antibiotics to clear out an infection and re-establish balance in your ecosystem and reduce some of the side effects that can be associated with antibiotics also. Okay, so elemental heal has been helpful, but clearly here we see elemental dieting almost as a rescue therapy, which certainly sometimes we need a rescue therapy, so totally fine. But now we need other supports to, in this case, really get the C. diff under control. And it sounds like hopefully with this recent antibiotic cocktail you're making some headway, I'm hopeful that by the addition of the additional probiotics, again, clear that with your local treating doctor, that that may be able to get you over the edge into where your gut ecosystem balance is out. But as you already know, FMT is something that has been shown to be very helpful for those who are otherwise non-responsive. Yeah.  Should I be looking at it like a low-fibre diet? I mean, I'm not too familiar with all the technology or terminology, but... Sure. That's a great question. You know, if the food reactivity from the C. diff is so severe, it may be really hard to get a read on what diet works best for you, because you may notice you just react to anything across the board. Now that being said, there are some diets that we know tend to be helpful for those with sensitive digestion. One is your kind of traditional elimination diet, like I talk about in the book, a paleo-type diet or your standard kind of elimination of kind of provocating inflammatory foods. Another could be low-fob map. And you may want to go to the paleo plus low-fob map and start with kind of the most restrictive diet since you're coming from a very sensitive place, and then over time try to broaden your diet. There's different approaches with how we can tackle this. In many cases, I recommend people kind of start working their way up that dietary pyramid from the least restrictive diet to the bottom, and then if they don't respond to those, they move up to the more restrictive diets. But since you're coming from a really sensitive, reactive place, you may want to start with the most restrictive to try to get as much benefit out of the gate as possible and then move down the pyramid and broaden over time. So the paleo-low-fob map or even the low-fob map with SCD, and we do have a diet pyramid in the book that lays all this out, that might be the best place to start, and then incorporate some elemental diet meal replacements as part of your transition back to food, so you don't go from all elemental to all food. And then over time, gradually try to expand down the dietary pyramid to more of a paleo or just a low-fob map and try to scale back the amount of elemental healing that you're using. Awesome. All right, so your midstream, would you please let us know how the rest of the path goes? I'd love to kind of follow up with you, post, to discuss and share with our audience what's worked for you. Yeah, yep, yep, we'll do, yep, and I'll work on those probiotics, and yeah. Awesome. And is there anything else that you want to share with people, anything else that you've picked up through reading the book, or through using the elemental heal? No, not right now, no. Okay, well I'm glad the elemental heal is providing you some relief, because right now I think any relief you can get is a huge win, all right, and you're still working the problem of how to get your gut back into balance, and hopefully what we've discussed today will help you, but again, please do keep us posted, and thank you so much for sharing your story. Great, thank you so much, Dr. Thanks, Dr. Rochia.
