TheDoctorsTV’s Dr. Jim Saves the Day!
Dr. Jim is one of the four primary doctors on TheDoctorsTV show and today was Dr. Jim’s Day!
First, he explained why you should never get rid of expired pharmaceutical drugs by flushing them down the toilet or just placing them in the garbage. It enters the water supply when flushed as we have discussed in previous blog posts or it enters the landfill which contaminates the soil and groundwater.
Dr. Jim showed the audience the correct way to dispose of these drugs and of other toxic material, however I think it would be better to incinerate the material if you have access to an incinerator. Eventually the plastic bag will decompose and then the problem is still present…just thrown far into the future. Just as we cremate bodies at high temperatures or burn materials using extremely high heat; some of these toxic substances need to be completely destroyed by fire!
Then Dr. Jim saved the day yet again as he demonstrated the cucumber puree for improving the quality of one’s skin. Dr. Drew came into view as well, and the other two doctors were following the trend toward the use of natural substances for your health.
Although the doctors described home health issues, one idea can be improved upon by using truly healthy products. Over the Counter antacids and other drugs are still going to be a little less than ideal in your home medicine chest. You can do better when you have natural products which accomplish the same results without adding the load to the liver and kidneys to metabolize and excrete the drugs. Peppermint Tea, Fenugreed Seed Tea, Aloe Vera Gel, and Tea Tree Oil are simple solutions to finding resolution for an upset stomach, allergies, cold symptoms, and skin irritations from fungal infections.
Then the big ‘save’ of the day by Dr. Jim when he visited a couple’s new home to make it safe. In addition to the child-proofing and other basic safety tips, the star ‘save’ of the day was the Survival Kit for Preparedness to be kept in the garage in case of an emergency or natural disaster. Not much time was spent on this Survival Kit and the reason why YOU should all have one in your home, at your office, and with you and your children in your vehicle or at their schools. The Survival Kit will do more for that couple than anything else Dr. Jim suggested to them today!
I am with Dr. Travis and Dr. Lisa with the bacon home remedy. Cook your bacon and enjoy the flavor as long as it comes from healthy animals; but there are better home health solutions for preventing or treating an infection on the surface of the skin when you scrape your knees. GSE or Essential Oils are vastly superior…
Dr. Oz and his featured chef need to get up to speed with the changes in what’s healthy in the world of pizza. Whole wheat crusts are just so old-fashioned and a problem for those who have allergies and food sensitivities to wheat. Go with other whole grain flours for a healthier crust and add more vegetables to your pizza. Basil is good, but goat cheese is preferable to mozzarella. The use of canned tomatoes is a big no-no….use fresh tomato slices and heirloom tomatoes to boot! The rest of the ingredients are reasonable, but some roasted garlic will make it exceptional!
Dr. Oz admitted that he’s not a superstar in the kitchen, but at least he tries! When our chefs, our doctors, and our organic gardeners all spend more time together to grow, prepare, eat, and promote healthy foods; then we will have true home health!
