Wouldn't she be looking forward to that?
She'd almost lose.
I think that's the problem with women's tennis when it comes to, uh, no one wants to actually
dance with a poodle.
With an Australian, yeah.
That's right.
And now it's a tremendous thrill to welcome to The Washout a couple of dames who haven't
been anywhere at all because they've been far too busy right here.
Tonight it's just them and the brand new Beatles.
The tune, every little thing he does is magic.
Young home buyers, can you revel in the lower interest rates in front of the slow combustion
stove while you run amok on the shag pile as you welcome to the bug house, the Nissan
Pedrax.
Well, I tried before to tell him of the feelings I have for him in my heart.
Every time that I come near him, I just lose my nerve like I've done from the start.
Every little thing he does is magic.
Everything he does just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic, now I know my love for him flows on.
Do I have to tell the story of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet.
Every little thing he does is magic.
Everything he does just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic, now I know my love for him flows on.
I've resolved to call him up a thousand times a day and ask him if he'll marry me in some old fashioned way.
And my silent fears acquit me long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue district me.
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing he does is magic.
Everything he does just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic, now I know my love for him flows on.
Every little thing he does is magic.
Everything he does just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic, now I know my love for him flows on.
Goes on.
Goes on and on and on and on.
Goes on.
To fly in unusual circumstances and get good results, and what about the nursing centers?
We'll talk about winning ways in a very, very positive bedside manner.
Now it's time to welcome the bug house, a woman who is a flying doctor.
Nursing secretary can you get on the couch and say, ah, I feel better now, as you prescribe the Sandra Cabot story?
If your livers in trouble, you die.
Your friends are left wondering why.
Keep beating, you jump, in the end it's sunk. See you later, matey, bye bye.
If your liver's in a pickle, that's it. Dig a hole, put it into the pit.
Dr. Sandra Cabot is the way to go, to get the bloody organ fired and fit.
Here to deliver on the state of the liver. Here to show the right muscular blow.
Our Dr. Sandra Cabot. Our Dr. Sandra Cabot.
Thanks very much for coming in, Sandra. Now you're the author of this wonderful bestseller about how to look after your liver.
Now you've been a doctor for quite a long time, and eventually it dawned on you that the liver might be an interesting organ to have a go at, given general health.
Now did this idea occur to you sort of out of the blue, brain spasmized, or was it a gradual thing?
Well, it was a gradual revelation really, and it was a revelation, but you could say I was a bit slow, because when I was a medical student, I used to sit in with naturopaths.
I was fascinated because they would read the iris and, you know, take people's pulses and treat them with herbs and things, and they always treated people's livers.
You know, everybody got a liver treatment, and I thought, well, this is really a bit over the top, you know, these people are a bit obsessive.
But I think, you know, after many years of trying to help people with a lot of chronic problems, you get very frustrated, you feel like you're beating your head against a brick wall.
And so I started to think about the liver, and I did a lot of reading on it, and I had a revelation that the liver really was related very intimately to the immune system.
Now, listen, obviously, assuming you're in good health, relatively good health, out of all the things in the book, how would you rate them?
This is a stupid question, I know, in terms of good things to do for your liver.
Is drinking water the most important thing you could do, given that your health's generally okay?
Well, it's not as simple as that. You know, some people think, oh, God, a liver-cleansing diet, how boring.
You know, you have to be a real goody-goody and give up everything naughty, but that's not true at all.
You can actually enjoy alcohol, and you were talking about meat before, Roy. You said that you like meat and that you want to have some of the diet.
I love meat, Sandra. Hardly a day goes by.
And I go through a lot of the recipes here, and just reading them, and I haven't been able to come across meat once.
Now, what have you got against meat here? Why can't I enjoy meat?
No, look, I've got nothing against the meat industry. Actually, meat's a very good food, a good source of iron.
Iron, yeah.
But, you see, that's an eight-week plan, where you do have to give up meat, only for eight weeks.
Why?
Well, it's heavy going for the liver. You see, the concept is, you need to give your liver a spring clean from time to time.
And it's not that hard. You know, what you do is you have a lot of fruits and vegetables. You have a lot of essential fatty acids, antioxidants.
You can have some chicken and eggs and fish, but you really need to give up the dairy products and the red meat for eight weeks.
Right. Well, look, the science battles me, and I'm not a scientist nor a doctor.
But I do, I'm interested, say, in the comments of, say, Professor John Dwyer, world-renowned immunologist, who says that this is hocus pocus.
Yes.
He says that this is, in fact, anti-science, and that the relationship between the liver and the immune system, well, he's been looking for it all his life, and can't find it, nor can any of his colleagues.
Well, I'm not surprised. I think...
What's he doing wrong?
Well, you know, I don't want it to be nasty or anything, but, you know, he has been rather nasty to me.
But, you know, when you have a new thought, a new revelation, and you have a book that sells nearly 400,000 copies, you're going to get critics.
And, you know...
Yeah, but McDonald's sells millions of bloody hamburgers, too, but it doesn't mean that that's a tremendous...
Well, look, put it this way. I see a lot of patients who have been to doctors like him, and I'm not knocking them.
They're my colleagues, and I think they do a tremendous job. But conventional medicine doesn't have all the answers.
And I knew that when I was a medical student. You know, I was working in hospitals, and people would come in with diseases like cardiomyopathy or autoimmune diseases, and they'd really be sick.
And every time they'd come back to the hospital, they'd be sicker. And I used to think, wow, what's going on here?
We're not treating the causes of disease. And, you know, if you ask Professor Dwyer, can he cure autoimmune diseases or things like sclerosing cholangitis or other...
We won't get too technical, folks, but...
But are you saying this will cure autoimmune disease? That's a big claim.
Well, I'm not saying a blanket statement, but I have lots of testimonials from hundreds of people.
Actually, I have thousands of testimonials, but we're just talking about autoimmune diseases for people who have been seriously ill.
And I've got the pathology to prove it, the before and after. They're real people, and they are now completely cured.
And I have proved categorically that the liver is intimately related to the immune system.
And some of these immunologists really need to think more laterally, because there's a lot of people out there with autoimmune disease, and they're not getting better.
And if they would improve their liver, think about their liver, eat a diet that's healthy for their liver, they would find that their immune system would start to recover.
I would have thought the more viruses and junk you give your liver, the better, because, you know, it's a pretty wild world out there.
A lot of weird things going around. So if you've got a robust liver, the better it is for it. You know, I'd give it as much money rubbish as possible.
I have a friend, Roy, who flies with me, and he says exactly the same thing. He's not a convert of mine.
He says, look, Sandra, your liver cleansing diet is not good for me. It's too easy. My liver needs a challenge every day.
And he said, anyway, my diet is perfectly balanced from the five food groups. He says McDonald's, Kentucky Fried, Sizzler's, Pizza Hut, and Red Rooster.
So what can you say to that?
Well, you can't deny that. That's a tremendous diet.
I was just going to get your thoughts on the state of the health in the nation, if I could be so bold, having introduced those five food groups.
Do you think the government should be spending more money on preventative health? And if so, how?
Well, preventative health really is nutritional medicine. We have technologies such as mammography and CAT scans, and we can detect cancers when they're very, very early.
So, you know, we can detect these things. But what are our strategies for prevention?
You know, people really don't know. People are very ignorant. And it's very, very simple.
I think the government needs to spend a lot more money on encouraging people to change their diet and to make sure they get plenty of antioxidants.
For example, selenium is a wonderful mineral. It's a natural anti-inflammatory, and it's very good for the immune system.
It reduces cancer. It's been proven to do so, but nobody's ever heard of it. And Australian soils are very deficient in selenium.
So, you know, encouraging people to take a good antioxidant with selenium in it and to eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables would be really good value.
It could reduce cancer that way.
Well, I mean, I'd certainly like to see, you know, more fruit in, say, tuck shops in schools, for example.
I was very big on getting the kiddies.
Well, I want to get the kiddies fixed.
Me too.
For, say, for $2,000. I'd probably be late.
I see a lot of kids with fatty liver. It's amazing. You know, young kids in their teens who are very overweight and they've got the fatty liver syndrome.
Can you pick a fat liver just looking at someone?
Well, I actually checked you two guys out before, and unfortunately you're not androids with fatty livers.
No.
We haven't got fatty livers.
No.
Well, I'd better keep the meat up.
I have been noticing the last few shows that you probably have a few of the symptoms of premenopause.
You heard of the androids book?
Oh, yes.
Male menopause.
Yeah, but you're born with the symptoms of premenopause. I mean, you get it from birth.
No, no, you don't. It happens to men after the age of 40.
Now, I know you guys are in your 40s. I've done a bit of research.
Now, we doctors can't help ourselves. We really can't. Everywhere we go, we like to help people.
Now, I happen to have in my pocket the latest stuff from America.
What is it? St. Jude's Thistles?
This is fantastic. No, no, no. These are super hormones.
Super hormones? Well, they've got to be bloody healthy.
If you can handle it. They are. They're great. Instant.
Now, in America, everybody's taking this stuff. DHEA, anti-aging, testosterone.
Americans are bloody mad in what they take. They're crazy.
Oh, they're great. They're leading the field in hormones.
Now, see this little square thing?
Yes.
What you do with it is you take one, you put it between your gum and your cheek.
Do you want to try?
Yeah, I'd love to try it. I'll try it.
And don't suck it, chew it or swallow it. Just leave it there between the gum and the cheek.
This is what the Americans do.
And it takes 15 minutes to dissolve. It slowly dissolves through the cheek.
And you'll start to feel much better by the end of the day.
I feel a lot better already. I don't know. I'm very susceptible to these sort of models.
These are super hormones. And if you go to America and you see people walking around with a little lump in their cheek,
don't talk to them because you'll know what they're doing.
Yeah.
Would you like to try one?
Hormones are fun though, aren't they?
You can't have too many bloody hormones. That's true.
Why do you think we've got canines? Canines. We've got canines for ripping bloody meat.
Yes.
We should be eating meat.
Look, we're doing it for bloody hundreds of thousands of years.
There's questions there, questions and answers.
You can have meat, lean, fresh, red meat.
It's coming on. I'm sure they're going to get this.
I didn't think it would happen so quickly.
This is amazing. I don't know.
You'll be dangerous. Imagine if Harold Bitter had those bloody things.
It was dangerous before I started.
I think it might be the talking. I'll just have to shut up for a minute.
Would you like me to leave you with a packet?
Oh, why not?
You can get them in New York, by the way. Actually, you can get them in Australia now.
You should send a man to the market to lupusis.
Can I just ask, is health insurance worth it?
Well, I really don't know. I think it's up to the individual.
I think we have a very good public health system.
And if people can't afford it, well, they can rely on the public health system.
But, you know, it's an individual choice.
I'm not really a political person.
Right, right. If customers came in, you know, obviously with a liver transplant,
say on the agenda soonish, the hormones weren't doing it,
you'd suggest they took it out.
And if they weren't and you checked their liver over and thought it's okay,
you wouldn't worry about it.
Well...
Is that a reasonable position?
I mean, worry about advising them to, you know, go out later.
A bit later, I think, once your liver's gone.
How do you get health insurance then, I mean?
Well, I think we should open it up for those sort of things.
I think so.
No, we're really...
But generally speaking, if you saw...
With the microscope, if you saw problems, you'd suggest it.
And if you didn't, you wouldn't think they should take it out?
Well, I think it's a good thing to have.
I mean, your health is the greatest asset you've got.
So if you could afford it, why not have it, for sure.
Yeah.
And on that cheerful note, it's time to wish Sandra all the very best.
This is hard to do with the super hormones on there.
We're Healthy Future, an AI school club by the reviewers.
Whether they're at home or here in the washout,
to get them out, get out their old vitamin pill jars
and bang them together as a way of thanking Sandra Cabot!
If you do have one of these super hormone things,
don't take it out, it gets very pulpy in there.
What's it look like? Just look.
Can you take it out?
It's huge, isn't it, to your gun?
No, it sort of dissolves.
It doesn't look much different.
Oh, sorry, yeah.
It looks like it took 100 years to dissolve.
Oh, no, it's going fairly quickly.
And I feel so much better now.
Do you?
Yeah, it's like the ad for health.
Look, Terry Venables, the Australian soccer coach,
has recently recorded an ad for Oasis Drinks,
which, you know, obviously is a bit of a conversation from him,
vis-a-vis Australian soccer.
And it does tuck up nicely in the bake form,
full frontal style Australian soccer
and Australian soccer ambitions.
Roy, you've had a look at the ad.
How bad is it?
And isn't it inappropriate for Australian soccer
to be paraded like this,
in this very funny style, before the people of England?
No, I don't think it's very good at all, actually.
I blanched on it.
I was embarrassed when I saw the ad.
It made me want to fight.
I felt cheated by it.
I felt cheap.
Because you've got LTL there swanning about
with a bit of the Oasis stuff,
you've got the tea cozy on the head,
you've got Australian, supposedly,
the Australian soccer team in the background,
wearing football guernseys
and AFL guernseys,
grabbing the ball,
and not knowing how to play,
not understanding the rules,
giving the British public,
who are very, very gullible and stupid, as we know,
similar to the Americans,
giving them the impression that we don't know how to play soccer.
And I say, look at our record.
Look what we did to Tahiti the other night.
Look what we've done for Western Samoa.
We might have torn them apart 13-1,
or something like that.
And Pitcairn Island will take them apart.
And the big one next week
is LTL has got our team primed
to take on, wait for it, New Zealand.
Well, that'll be the test material.
If we can beat New Zealand, we're there.
We're there. We're in.
And I'd say we're booking a place for the semis.
We're lurking.
Semifinals on the World Cup.
We are the filipusas of world soccer.
Big rap.
Now, it's disappointing that, you know,
Terry, who obviously is in the bad books in England,
has to seek this way
of getting back into the book.
I've gone right off. I liked him at first.
12,000 miles away.
And I used that advisory term.
But now I'm close.
He's hopeless.
And now tonight it's an enormous thrill to present on the Stooler Man and his dog.
Look, as you know,
Club Buggery has continued to build bridges
between the city and the bush.
And it's great to open the Bug House this evening
and let her in another fully
bird animal act.
But kitties, and I'll repeat this, please,
kitties, do not attempt any of these tricks
with your spot,
astro or rover,
unless you have complete
parental approval
and confidence in your animal.
Please do not attempt any of these tricks.
Meanwhile, animal lovers, can you howl with delight?
And welcome to the Bug House,
Gus and Buster!
?
Good job.
