Hello, everyone.
So nice to be with you today.
What a great day to be alive today.
I thought I'd answer some of the many questions that come in.
Many questions come in.
We can't get to them all.
But I picked some out today to try to answer
and eventually will try to also do something alive
where we can talk and answer your questions live.
But before we do that, I have a verse
I'd like to share a biblical prescription,
and that's from Zachariah 13, verse nine.
This is probably a text that many of you aren't familiar with.
I will bring the one third through the fire
will refined them as silver is refined
and test them as gold is tested.
They will call on my name and I will answer them.
That's what I want to focus on.
Calling on my name.
And with this in mind,
that brings me to some of the many questions, comments
and suggestions that we've got into our videos here.
And one gentleman suggested, why not do a short prayer
as you get started in your videos?
And, you know, we talk about the big picture healing coming from God.
Well, I think that's a great idea.
I'm calling on my name and I will answer them.
There's power.
There's healing in prayer.
There's healing in the Scriptures.
So let's just start today's video with a word of prayer.
Father. God.
Thank you.
We want to call upon your name.
We want to call for Your Grace in our lives.
And we know that you will lead us to healing in your time.
Be with us as we talk and answer these questions.
Today is our prayer.
Amen.
I think we never can pray enough.
I think we should live in constant prayer as we grow in these relationships.
But today I want to answer a lot of questions.
It's come into our sights.
The first question is has to do with
we talked about the endothelium, we talked about nitric oxide.
And this question is, can humming help
produce nitric oxide?
And the answer to that question is yes.
There was a study in the European Respiratory
Journal back in 2003 that shows when we hum a lot
we actually increase gas exchange and this oscillating process.
And this increases nitric oxide in the airways.
Does it help our vasculature?
Probably to some degree, even though we don't know exactly how much.
So humming seems to be good.
How much or how little? I don't know.
Probably it helps by moving air in and out.
Exercise would probably help as well.
And it also increases.
Not only does increase nitric oxide, but increases oxytocin.
And oxytocin also has health benefits,
at least in cutting back stress hormones.
So if you want a hum, I don't think that's a bad idea.
I don't think it's going to hurt your health.
To what degree it helps your health?
I'm not sure.
But I say give it a try.
Okay.
Let's go on to another question this person ask about Dr.
Strauss heart drops and you can read about these.
It's been going on for years.
These Dr.
Strauss heart drops claim to do miraculous things for the cardiovascular system.
Well, in it are substances claimed
mistletoe, hawthorn, cayenne, garlic, dill, berry,
willow, bark, mother wart, things of that nature.
So can I recommend this?
Well, they've been criticized in the past.
In fact, in 2003, there was a law
court thing going on in Iowa where they banned it because they said
they were making too many great claims with no real support.
Well, I think that holds true.
They cannot back up the claims they make.
In fact, unless you have it tested, you really don't know what's in it.
But if you think about it, Hawthorn has been shown to be good for the heart.
Bilberry that has some antioxidants, white willow bark.
That's a blood thinner.
They say mother wart mistletoe might help the heart.
There's not large studies done on any of this, so
I really can't recommend this on a regular basis.
But some of the individual ingredients
might help an individual circumstance.
So talk to your doctor, make sure doesn't interact with medicines.
But some of the individual ingredients might help.
But why get something that claims to put them in at unknown amounts of.
When you don't know for sure if it's going to help you.
So I can't really say that I would recommend.
Dr. Strauss heart drops.
Another question came in is on Paraiso. Mia.
Well, that is basically not being able to smell well.
And we seen loss of smell
or what we call the loss of the olfactory system,
very prominent in COVID 19 infections.
Well, the good news is 90%,
nine out of ten get better in 4 to 8 weeks.
Most people get better in 1 to 2 weeks.
But some people go long terms.
And this person wanted to know, well, what can we do that might help?
Well, of course, living a healthy life, healthy body, all the things that we do
to help COVID 19 would help vitamin C,
you know, taking vitamin D,
you know, healthy foods, all those things that will help.
But another thing that some people are trying
is smell training.
Well, what is smell training?
Well, it's sort of like exercise for the olfactory or smelling system.
You know, if you don't use something, it gets stiff.
If you use it, it gets better.
The brain trains neural pathways.
Well, the theory behind this smell training
is what they do is they take essential oils of different smells,
you know , of different types of smells from the oils,
whether it be lemon or rose or clove or even eucalyptus smells.
And you smell that.
And it actually exercises your smelling system.
It uses practices and helps these neuro
synthesis in the brain develop.
And what they do is you smell these, um, smells.
I'm about, you know, for about 20 seconds, twice a day.
And some people do it till they get the smell back or 3
to 6 months to exercise their olfactory system.
Well, this type of training can also be done with taste, smell, any part.
The more you use it,
the more you stimulate it, the more the brain and the nervous system
can help develop some of the things that might have been lost in the past.
I've never done it myself.
I don't know how well it works, but I've heard some people are doing this
and regaining their smell, especially after the COVID.
I don't think it's going to hurt anything.
So if your smell has it got better
in at least two months, you might want to get some essential oils
of different types and do the smell training,
exercise your smell 20 seconds at least twice a day.
It might help.
Another question that came in
is regarding this person wanted to know
what can they do for the m c a s problem?
Well, that stands for the mast cell activating syndrome.
It's something that hasn't been around forever, but it's been developed.
Well, I don't know.
I'm a cardiologist and I mit I don't treat this and I don't know much about it.
But what I would recommend is seeing a specialist in the field,
an immunologist, an allergist, or there's also a website
that supports those with this it's t m asks for a cure.
Dot org.
And this is a group of people that have this.
They created a website that can direct you to specific resources
and people and testimonies and things, things
that others are doing to treat this mass cell activating syndrome.
And basically what that cell is, the mast cells
that are involved in infections and they dump all of their chemicals out there
and they cause all sorts of bad type of reactions.
Many people are treating it with antihistamines,
but I'm sure there's much more that can be done.
I suggest you see an immunologist or an allergist
or go to the TMC for a cure.
Dot org.
This is a relatively new syndrome.
Don't know much about it.
There's not been a lot of research and studies done to date,
but it's something to keep an eye on.
And I want to thank you for that question.
So there's our questions for day.
Someone suggested a short prayer.
I thought, I think that's a great way to start these videos
as we plug into Scripture and plug in to God.
I think only good things can happen.
What we call upon his day.
That's what.
We want to do in prayer.
So I think that's a great suggestion.
Do some humming every day.
Not sure about the Dr. Strauss heart drops.
You might need to smell training if you have loss of smell from coded.
And go and look for some other resources if you have the mass cell
activating syndrome.
So I hope that helped answer a few questions
and keep sending in your questions and the questions below.
Give this a thumbs up if you like it.
Share it with your friends and neighbors.
And remember what we're trying to do.
Create.
Community focus on the big picture.
Christ leads to healing.
We've talked about scriptures.
Now we're going to also encourage you to add prayer
as Zachary and Chapter 13, Zachary 13 verse nine.
They will call on my name.
We call on God's name. We're praying.
And He says, and I will answer them.
These were the one third of people that he's refining.
There's going to be test. There's going to be challenges.
There's going to be diseases in our lives.
But one thing that we can do is turn to Scripture for healing
and call on my name, call in prayer.
And that's I hope I remember to do that each time, in addition
to a biblical scripture, a short prayer to encourage you to do the same.
Well, I'm going to be back real soon with another biblical prescription for life.
Thanks for joining me. Share it with your friends.
Encourage others to like this and subscribe to our videos.
Thanks.
