20: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy/Crystal Visions

JockDocPodcast.com

Welcome to the Jock Doc Podcast

featuring Dr. London Smith trick or

treats smell Dr. London’s feet oh that

is stanky Hello and welcome to the Jock

Doc Podcast we discuss fitness and

health and how to incorporate our modern

understanding of science and medicine

into our daily lives but without a being

so boring I’m your host Dr. London Smith.com
I would like to begin by

apologizing to our listeners we’ve

received some complaints about the

overuse of technical medical terminology

I’ve been using such as jack-o-lantern

and black cat and on that last one

african-american cat I get it okay so I

will try to tone it down a little as we

go along here to help with that is our

producer Cameron heyo heyo Cameron is so

in tune with the world and its trends

that when he heard that The Hills Have

Eyes he started a GoFundMe to raise

money to buy prescription lenses for

said hills because he was

somehow convinced that those hills would

talk about what they were seeing if

their vision wasn’t so blurry

I just think hills are so old that it’s

sort of safe to assume that their eyes

aren’t what they used to be okay yeah so

and it’s with any elderly person a lot

of times there is some degeneration yeah

okay well so that is very thoughtful um

degeneration for the elder generation

okay

also with us is DJ DYLAN IN DA HOUSE

[Music]

DJ Dylan you have been extra spooky

today I wonder why we’re medical

podcast so we’re just gonna kind of

stick to that like we’re not talking

about anything spooky we’re talking

about restrict- well I don’t want to give

it away but restrictive cardiomyopathy
so it’s we’re gonna stay on topic

what spookier then the thing you just

said anyway for later Cameron tells me

that we can expect a guest yep so we

should all look forward to that before

we move on I would like to address a bit

of listener feedback quote does anyone

ever just eat a pound of Bologna with a

thousand calories worth of cream cheese

anymore and the quote first of all thank

you so much for reaching out to the jock

Dawg podcast we are always happy to hear

back from our listeners to answer your

question I am not sure whether anyone

ever just eats a pound of Bologna with a

thousand calories of cream cheese to me

to me that seems like a lot to eat at

once but one of the major issues that

continues to be a problem in America

today is the obesity epidemic so I I

cannot speak for everyone on this matter

but I can recommend is that rather than

a pound of Bologna and so much cream

cheese upgrading it yeah well so I was

saying but maybe you could just take up

a diet with smaller portions that’s

heavier in fruits and vegetables so

you’re saying to eat your daily pound of

Bologna but split up into smaller meals

I’ve heard about that I think you could

will one upgrade the quantity so let’s

go from one pound of Bologna to let’s

say three right it’s like a lot so let’s

split it up two into

a hundred meals that you can eat

throughout the day and throughout the

night as well a hundred yeah

that’s to me that that sounds not only

unhealthy but also exhausting well I

mean the eating isn’t the exhausting

part it’s having to wake up every hour

to continue eating that part is very

tiring have you sound like you’ve tried

this I’ve experimented I’ve dabbled okay

so like you’ve maybe not baloney

specifically but baloney like substances

well like with what substances lunchmeat

like baloney

okay so it was baloney

whatever you say baloney like you just

mean baloney what’s more baloney like

than baloney okay that’s that’s true so

anyway I would recommend actually a diet

heavier in fruits and vegetables and

Mediterranean diet is actually known

heavier you’re saying more than three

pounds

no okay no I am not good yeah thank you

for clarifying

no yes what I’m saying is proportionally

you should decrease the amount of intake

totally but heavier more proportionally

fruits and vegetables that’s healthy and

also incorporate exercise in your

lifestyle you know what also helps okay

eating a large amount of Bologna every

15 minutes 24 hours a day

see does that help because it seems to

me that that wouldn’t help will helps

what no yeah it helps your mood yeah

have you ever been a bad mood when

you’ve eaten that much Bologna in a day

oh it puts your window bad mood is that

what you’re saying no I’m saying how can

you be in a bad mood when you’ve

consumed that much I I didn’t I don’t

think it would make me so happy oh man I

think we just you know I’m being kind

I’m happy even thinking about it

just the best days of my life okay

two pounds three pounds a thousand

calories of cream cheese on top

mix that in a bowl then throw in similar

croutons bacon bits whatever you want to

throw in there what do you normally eat

with your salads okay well thank you for

the question and we look forward to

hearing from you again now for a tale

from the hospital a patient was lifted

into the hospital by crane due to morbid

obesity

it took 12 staff members to get her onto

a bed the patient’s room smelled awful

but the physicians attending could not

figure out the cause of the stache well

a physician was performing a pelvic exam

the physician found half of a dead baby

in the vaginal area which had previously

apparently been crushed by the patient

this was found to be the cause of the

smell in the room now the question on

all of our minds is what happened to the

other half of the baby now for today’s

topic restrictive cardiomyopathy

restrictive cardiomyopathy is when the

walls of the heart muscle are

infiltrated by something to the point

that the walls of the heart become too

stiff to function properly it can be

caused by anything from amyloidosis

sarcoidosis

hemochromatosis and it even occurs

without a discernible cause clinically

it can present with shortness of breath

and exercise intolerance and even signs

of right heart failure since the entire

heart wall can be affected so

essentially it’s that the whole walls

are sort of a filling in them that stops

it from being able to work properly

what is your obsession with the heart

okay like every single one of these

topics is about the heart okay thank you

for asking

it’s we’re kind of on a series right now

of Cardiology which is the study of the

heart

and so whenever we discuss different

aspects of that every week that’s

because that is the topic does that make

sense I guess it just kind of seems like

you’re too into it do you have something

you want to I mean talk about okay so

the reason why we’re so into it okay is

because the leading cause of death in

the United States is cardiovascular

disease like these hearts is that what

you’re leading to no why that’s like

it’s all you talk about it’s all it’s

all you think about

No so it’s heart beamed so whenever it’s

leading cause of death you know we try

to educate everyone about ways to

prevent that death from happening does

that make sense okay okay and so

whatever we talk about something like

restrictive cardiomyopathy we can it’s

sort of an explanation for how like one

sort of things to watch out for like if

you already know that you have

sarcoidosis then you can be on the

lookout for some of these symptoms yeah

and so if you’re a perfectly healthy

person you might want to be on the

lookout for a murderous doctor scooping

hearts out of patients bodies and taking

them home all right well I don’t see

that as really the consign I’m only sort

of vouching for myself on this part yeah

but I I to clarify for listeners I do

not harvest hearts I didn’t I didn’t

realize that that was an issue that like

a rumor or whatever I mean that is most

of our feedback that’s okay because I

know you manage a lot of this the

finding out what yeah I’ve been

suppressing a lot of the comments

because I mean truthfully I didn’t want

to hurt your feelings you go on and on

and on about the hearted because people

sort of the feeling that you want

there’s okay and they’ve all been saying

the same thing

that I am going after their person their

their anatomic heart yeah I mean we’ve

risk tens of thousands of these comments

comments on have you noticed people

pointing at you when you walk down the

street yeah shielding themselves and

running okay I thought that was I

thought that was from a separate I I had

an accident when I was out and about the

other day because that only happened

once to me

yeah the accident yeah or you do

someone’s heart okay I never cuz I know

there’s no way you’ve only done it once

I to my I’ve never harvested a heart or

you know intentionally that I’ve never

done that what I’m talking about is one

time I had had an accident going number

two I saw my like I I pooped in my

trousers and I didn’t mean to make a

fuss but it was very apparent like it’s

soaked through my pants and so I was

walking around and it was very very

noticeable and some people did point and

scream and run away from me and you

thought that happened because of your

accident not I mean you’re like walking

around town you’re brandishing a knife

okay no that that I feel like you’re

confusing me with someone else

whenever you say that no I mean it’s you

you’re covered in your own filth you’re

wearing some sort of a like a hockey

mask okay and you’re you’re kind of

finding these campers I feel like you

are confusing me with something else you

saw okay okay there was a movie I think

there were a series of movies in which

there was there was a character with a

hockey mask who was killing people and I

I guess I I didn’t realize I had to

I should clarify item that man but when

he thinks the mask off its you are you I

don’t think so

BK i i i don’t even know that i’ve ever

worn a hockey mask come to think of it

and you’re saying that i was this a

dream no this was a scary story okay so

i i mean i cool i get yeah

for Halloween week that is halloween

week okay great so i was a treat for

listeners that’s fun it’s nice to give

our listeners a little spooky whatever

story as if they’re doctors some crazy

thing yeah tis the season doctor one

yeah okay I think maybe it’s fun for

people to think that you know the

physician that they trust is harvesting

organs I I guess for some of the more

mature listeners who can separate

reality from fiction pretty well that

that would be nice

yep maybe okay well uh so to clarify the

story about you soiling yourself that

was not part of the scary story that was

a scary story that wasn’t a few playing

along in the holiday yeah I thought I

was trying I was thinking like what’s a

funny crazy because it’s Halloween well

oh that is stanky that is stinky okay

[Music]

yeah I it’s not it was it wasn’t real

that nobody pointed and that was a great

story doctor London thank you okay well

do we have any spawns

today Cameron we do and our sponsor is

our guest okay get in here guests hi I’m

crystal visions and I am here under the

umbrella of my parent company spiritual

oils you had them on your first episode

and we’ve branched out into crystals

therapy Wow okay that’s interesting dr.

London if you remember from our first

episode we had on sage Daniels a great

great friend of mine great great friend

of the show okay so great two greats

that’s okay Jerry yeah okay

because when she says the parent company

I’m trying to just do kind of the math

on that oh you’re saying is this a great

grandparent company yeah yeah a great

great grandparent company

yeah it sounds like okay sage Daniels

had come on the show she had talked

about some of her oils

she was so original spiritual oils that

sort of kind of completed your spiritual

journey she was selling raisin oil

things of that nature

mhm and the the raisin oil that there is

some sort of market for one thing the

raisin oil was just wine and there was

some attempt to market it to people in

the afterlife yes was my my

understanding rich for the record I I

saw as kind of odd but for our guest

today and sorry was your name again

crystal visions okay and I just want to

say that the spiritual oils those are

wonderful products okay I I have to

agree I’ve been putting them on my

sandwiches I mean every single for every

single meal

they’re delicious yeah they’re so good

so you haven’t been drinking it with

you’d like to wash down your sandwich

she’d been just oh no you just soak the

sandwich in it it’s like an as you sauce

yeah okay all right well I feel a lot

more whole crystal visions do you prefer

to just be called crystal visions or

miss visions or you can just call me

crystal okay crystal so what what brings

you here today you say your sister

gradual oils has a new branch and that

is crystals therapy I have a storefront

in DJ Dylan’s basement mall come in and

we can choose which crystal therapy is

right for you okay and this is a an odd

thing I didn’t really I knew so did you

Dylan has a basement that I’m aware of

yes I did not realize that DJ Dylan who

does great work on the show

also has his his art his basement has

was at a strip mall yes okay and sorry

and so you so from there it’s kind of

more like good we have tents set up it’s

kind of like a flea market vibe really

okay so you’ll come by my tent and we’ll

figure out which crystal is best for you

to inhale and experience Wow how do you

determine what the best crystal is for

each with your customers I usually do an

aura field and that takes about three

hours where I’ll sit behind you with my

hands circling your head and I’ll just

discover everything that I need to know

about you and then I’ll give you the

crystal that you feel smoke and this

takes three hours the aura field does

okay and I’m sorry could we maybe try a

little bit okay well I asked because yes

I did bring some here I have a different

do you need to feel out I know we don’t

have three hours cuz well could you do

it in three seconds I’ve been here for

six hours

oh you didn’t see me but I’ve been

standing behind you and doctor I saw you

in the rafters and I I yeah I mean I cuz

you were just very still was the thing

you should probably know you weren’t

hidden or anything we we very clearly

saw you you were very loud I have to

stand perfectly still to absorb your

essence oh yeah you were still but you

were playing music out of a boombox I

mean just so loud and the Beastie Boys

and like because you attached yourself

to the ceiling fan to I guess to get

that rotating motion I guess you got

your hands around our heads but like I I

didn’t stay in I don’t know I guess it

just seems odd to me but um yeah we I

guess what I’m sorry to interrupt at

this point but you keep using words like

inhale and smoke so what I’ve got here

what I’ve discovered for you Cameron

especially great Barry you’re going to

need to take this to discover your inner

voice so I’ve got a sample here I’ll

show you first so I’m going to you okay

that’s fire alright my inner voice is

being released might I I namely gutted

today because I have it had my harmony

sandwich and this Barbara this is the

she didn’t bring me my tea and my

crumpets so this is an example of mine

is wearing off oh so that was an example

of my inner voice

so camera I’ve got you some here for you

if you’d like to try okay so your inner

voice is you doing an Australian accent

I am a British man who’s angry about

breakfast alright let me try this were

you supposed to do that many at once

oi hey governor okay

I’m angry about breakfast so is this

supposed to be I don’t I didn’t ask for

kicks I okay is the inner voice of every

person supposed to be just Australian or

British or something

oh my client oh my gosh didn’t you try I

don’t know it’s like being on a journey

I don’t smoke no I I don’t I don’t smoke

things

the only inhalants I’d want to do our

prescription medications maybe let you

know how butyl for asthma that kind of

thing but not oh this is that thing

whatever you just said okay no I don’t

believe it it here do it try the thing

you just said it’s just for your asthma

or whatever

no I’m and even as I look at it so like

these are bunched up crystals here is

and I don’t want to make assumptions

about what this is it’s good for your

asthma and it will release your inner

voice so does this yeah I’m sorry I’m

gonna turn it down for the moment at

least mostly cuz I want to keep it clear

head and a clear voice okay does this

give you a high of any kind

this crystal like Cameron was saying it

takes you on a journey you become that

man who is so furious about breakfast

I’m so mad oh I’ve never felt that level

of anger before wait

so everyone’s inner voice is the same

British man who is angry about breakfast

from what I can tell from all of my

patients that have done this it’s almost

like the fury that that man felt about

his breakfast is now kind of awakened of

fury and me I don’t know what to do with

it yeah I would think probably don’t

smoke that anymore do you think I should

explore it explore what this new fury I

I don’t think so no okay you’re gonna go

for again oh boy I don’t want this bowl

of kicks a banana

so I guess what concerns me is that the

appearance of this in a back the

appearance of this could you see me yeah

yeah we could see you all I could see

was kicks okay

so it looks and this is just me looking

at it are you smoking crystal meth

this is crystal therapy were you

discover and unlock new things about

yourself that you never even dreamed

possible you come to my tent and DJ

Dylan’s basement you lay down for three

hours I circle your head with my hands

I’m familiar discover your essence and

the things that you truly need not the

things that you necessarily want in life

Wow

and that’s where the disconnect happens

often what you need is not always what

you want and so what everyone needs is

this inner voice which being release

which is the same is still therap for

every single person from what I can tell

we’re slowly but surely unlocking more

of the story I’ve been sitting here

writing because I never realized that he

was mostly angry about kicks I haven’t

gotten that far in the journey I mostly

just have experienced seeing Barbara

seeing her bring a bowl over and knowing

I’m already angry before she even sets

it down and now you have shown me that

it’s kicks that I don’t want I wanted a

banana it’s almost like every person’s

voice is another piece of this puzzle

that is the journey act love this larger

story

we’re finally understanding ancient

ancient truths through these inner

voices being unlocked dr. London could

you talk about the medical science

behind I mean this incredible journey

well for one thing having shared

hallucination does sound odd what I’m

actually wondering about if I could in

order to know medically what’s going on

where did you find these crystals miss

crystal GJ Dillon is my supplier you’d

have to ask DJ Dillon but I see that he

is hastily exited the building okay so

you what you know about it is just from

trying it and I guess I want to clarify

one thing so it sounds like no matter

how long you spend circling someone

the same result happened which is that

they smoked some crystal and they had a

hallucination

beyond that I’m not I guess I’m just not

seeing the service that you’re providing

aside from being a dealer a purveyor of

this commodity it’s clear you don’t see

a lot dr. London oh yeah what would help

you see a little bit more maybe some of

crystals crystals see I feel like it

would just be it would be a

hallucination so you feel like you feel

didn’t crystal just talk about giving

people not what they want what they feel

but giving them what they need giving

them the facts fact dr. London you’ve

gotten kind of dull lately I think it

would maybe help you a lot to sort of

kind of open your mind and sort of

explore new avenues fact facts okay this

man is very angry about his breakfast

we know it’s kicks we know he wants a

banana we don’t understand where the

rage is coming from and from my

understanding we need additional people

to figure out what is going on I mean if

this is a story that we have in all of

us isn’t it sort of our responsibility

to find it out okay and that and so

those of us higher up on the journey we

believe that this is a matter of life

and death we have to figure out the rest

of this story or else we won’t unlock

the future without the rest of this

story and I’m afraid of what will happen

if we stay here in the dark what are you

afraid of happening what do you think is

gonna happen if we don’t fully explore

where the story leads you’re making it

sound like this is sort of an

apocalyptic situation and that this is

all for shed it sounds like that’s what

we’re trying to discover what is the

what’s

answer here what’s the there’s a mystery

there alright I guess I just I just want

to clarify real quick exactly what

you’re trying to say here so crystal it

sounds like you’re saying everyone

should be smoking this crystal because

in the visions you’ve had whenever

you’ve smoked it you’ve seen a scenario

in which there’s an angry British man

and somehow this leads to the apocalypse

and so somewhere in there there’s a way

to prevent the apocalypse is that right

what part of this are you not getting

doctor a lot of this is so

straightforward I get these whenever

it’s a hallucination from a drug then

I’m not you know as it seems a weird

thing to follow as like a lifestyle as a

job maybe it’s not a hallucination maybe

it’s a hollow I guess that’s a thing

here we go thank you okay

[Music]

okay

[Music]

all right you are killing it DJ Dylan

[Music]

okay crystal

would you mind clarifying that like why

what what about those visions

yeah the visions made you think that

that was cut that caused the apocalypse

or whatever and what brought you here to

talk about it as well if it’s a really

good crystal therapy session sometimes

you’re able to add another element and

audible hallucination or vision and in

that you can hear the very very angry

man listening to the Jacque doc podcast

whoa

is so I’m here to find out one of the

constants that we’ve seen when

experiencing this crystal therapy is

sometimes they come visually sometimes

they come audibly and every single

person who has an audible hallucination

will always hear in the background the

Jacque doc podcast

oh so this is making a lot of sense I

went after a you know part took some of

these crystals mm-hmm I was listening to

an episode of the Jacque dog podcast but

it was like an episode I’ve never heard

before okay so like an episode for them

I don’t know an alternate reality when

you’re having a hallucination sometimes

it can pull from familiar things like

let’s say the podcast that you actively

work on and participate in Cameron well

crystal how many how many people have

have perused your crystals to you and I

oh wow okay well that that does sound

strange yeah maybe some news playing in

the background so unheard of some to

can’t subconsciously you know that kind

of thing

in any case so that’s what brought you

here was the fact that you heard this

podcast in divisions yes

okay well I’m not I’m not sure really

what to tell you because we’re not uh

we’re we’re not really affiliated so

much with this sort of I don’t know how

we prevent the apocalypse I guess is

what I’m yeah yeah yeah hey crystal can

I talk to you privately for a second of

course hey what was dr. London saying in

your vision because he was saying come

kind of like weird stuff in mine he was

shouting about the apocalypse yeah

shouting about the end of days

he was solutions he was telling me I

just gotta light this match just this

one match and a little ignite the whole

damn thing okay so I can hear you guys

huh whenever you you keep doing it oh

yeah we were just talking about cell

phones

oh I got a new iPhone oh I have razor

okay so hey London you have a razor dr.

London is there is there anything you

want to ignite does that word mean

anything to you

like ignite someone’s desire to learn

about fitness and health sure mmm hey

crystal can I talk to you in private

of course hey I think this Matt she’s

trying to light ignite the whole damn

thing I think that’s what he’s using the

podcast for I think he’s saying by

training people to be healthier and more

fit he can build some sort of a weird

superhuman race that can destroy the

world that sounds exactly right on I

mean and it I mean it sounds like one of

the reasons this guy is so mad about his

breakfast is because he knows that he’s

never gonna be as super human as he can

possibly be just by eating kicks in

neglecting bananas okay

and I you know I’m gonna hop in here

because I really can hear you so it’s uh

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking about

British and oh this new iPhone is so

great I love being on my new iphone

that’s all we were talking about Chris

my razor has a camera oh wow how many

megapixels I don’t know whoa Wow okay so

what I’m what I’m thinking here is that

mmm the hallucinations are involving

just whatever’s around you ya know one

of those things being brexit which make

me sounds like breakfast to you okay and

British that’s happening in Britain yeah

that’s it that’s a whole British thing

right so that element like all of these

elements can be pulled from those

contexts and that’s how your how your

mind brought about these hallucinations

does that make sense yeah yeah yeah

totally

yes hey Krystal can I talk to you in

private Oh what is he trying to do to us

what do we do do you hear oh he’s trying

to play these mind games with us we know

what we heard

I’m frozen in fear we know what we

became when we let that voice out you

became Brits re to chime in you became

British yeah

furious British men and just think of

the twisted ways dr. London’s trying to

come up with how to take advantage of

that having all these British hungry

people at his disposal okay and one so

he can ignite the whole damn thing all

right well that’s that’s an interesting

take and theory I feel like we’ve kind

of gotten to the bottom of what’s going

on here was there anything else crystal

they needed to share with us I know your

crystal therapy you’re enthusiastic

about that hey dr. woman can I talk to

you in private for a second sure hey dr.

London you gotta try some of this

crystal I don’t do that I will dude it

is so good no bro bro look I know you

think that that bro line works on me

because you say it constantly whenever

you’re trying to get me to do something

yeah like spit in that guy’s face that

one’s you just kept saying bro bro bro

do it do it yeah and then you seem so

confused never I just don’t do it

mm yeah okay anyway um hey crystal can

we talk in private for a second oh yes

hate to have any more of these crystals

of course come by the tent okay

hey dr. London we’re back yeah I don’t

think you ever left anyway um so we’ll

go ahead and maybe finish up right there

I guess that’s been a slightly spooky

episode if that’s what you I was really

hoping for sort of a more medical guest

someone who I don’t even know what that

would mean okay all right well thank you

too cam

our producer for being on the show thank

you to digital in the house

[Music]

thank you to our guest crystal for

stopping by this has been the jock doc

podcast have a spooky week in medicine

[Music]

and that’s it for this episode we hope

that you learned a little bit about

science and medicine along the way but

in case you didn’t we decided to throw a

few science tips here

well advice about tips really so what

I’m trying to say is q-tips should not

be used in the ears to clean your ears

you actually just whenever you’re in the

shower you tilt your head and let that

water come in and that will actually do

the cleaning for you you know what works

for really well it’s cotton swabs okay

so a q-tip what I’m referring to is

actually the it’s a little piece like

it’s a stick and then it’s got a piece

of cotton on the end so what I’m saying

is don’t use those yeah no don’t use

those use your own stick from home put

some cotton on it and then just kind of

jam it up there as far as you can okay

and up that so no what I’m saying is

don’t do the cotton in the ears is a bad

idea that’s that’s what I’m getting it

because it can mess with the the earwax

in there which is a natural all right

what about your muffs those that’s

cotton on your ears okay okay fair fair

point so I’m not talking about the ear

I’m talking about the ear canal as

opposed to the outside of the ears which

is what you’re saying

so in any case speaking of being a

decent clean person don’t forget to

subscribe to the jock doc podcast and

while you’re there go ahead and leave a

five star review with a comment about

your ear cleaning habits and as we have

analyzed before these relevant reviews

really do help us to craft our content

helps us to target everything towards

you the listener also please text

friends and family with a link to your

favorite episode of the podcast or if

that’s too complicated just send them to

our handy web

site at jock dock podcast.com and I do

want to mention dr. Linden you talked

about kind of gearing the podcast more

towards our audience we do so much data

mining with this podcast every time you

listen we’re getting your name your

phone number your address your friends

your family the gifts you want for

Christmas all these things to give you a

better product right and and that’s some

people have been protesting for that

reason but once again we don’t use that

information for anything except to make

this podcast better for you absolutely

look the the insane quality of our

show can only happen when we know things

like what’s your niece up to is your

uncle still alive yeah have you been to

Denny’s lately these are things that we

use to incorporate where are you right

now yep and what are you doing and what

are you saying what level of address are

you yeah and that I I don’t that’s a

very critical one actually yeah

anyway thank you for listening
