Mike Maher: "How do you protect a young, fair-skinned child if you go to where you live or to Thailand? […]"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, that's where you have to learn how to build a solar callus. I've got a Patreon blog on how to do that. For your child the answer is pretty easy. Those red lights that you got, people are shocked when they hear this. When you use infrared A light, that's light from 600 to 1000nm, that's not the near infrared stuff now, it preconditions your skin for UV light. So guess what? You won't get burned. […] This is the reason why I'm from the 59th latitude and I can stay out in the sun literally 12 hours a day here. I don't burn like I used to burn when I was a kid.
"The problem is when you're wearing clothes, sunglasses, contacts, putting sunscreen on, what are you doing? You're decreasing melanin in your integument and in your eye. Melanin is actually your natural sunscreen. So even when you're a white boy with blue eyes, the reason you're a white boy with blue eyes because you live at a high latitude the sun sucks. So what is nature doing? It's sucking all of your melanin out of you by design. And then what are you idiots doing now? You're listening to the dermatologist tell you to do more. That's the reason why you burn, because you have no protection.
"Building the solar callus gives you that protection. […] I think in a child, just getting them in front of infrared A light 20 minutes, three or four times a day, before you go. I would do that probably four to six weeks. I have a picture in my solar callus blog that shows you what skin looks like when it's preconditioned by red, and then UV comes in, and you'll see they don't get sunburns.
"I will just tell you sunburn, when you get it, it's not as bad as the dermatologist tells you. I'm going to tell you the literature even backs that up; they just bury that truth. But I'm going to tell you a sunburn means that you're not doing a good job with your solar callus. […]
"We're the only stupid idiot animals on the planet that have bought the BS from the ophthalmologist, dermatologist and Bill Gates that blocking the sun is smart. It turns out you don't ever want to block the sun, ever. OK? That's how you build your solar callus. The big protection for you is to upregulate melanin production in your integument and your eye. The way you do that is stop wearing sunglasses.
"Dr Alexis Cowan is a PhD I've done a couple podcasts with. She's got a really cool Instagram picture. She says, 'Before I die, I think it will be shown that most skin cancers are caused by wearing sunglasses.' I think she's absolutely correct. […]
"I would tell you with the baby: shellfish, seafood, the broths. That has all the phytochemicals in it that also help with the red light upregulate. Start making seafood broths. The thing about the UK is you guys can get pretty decent seafood. […] Just cook all this stuff down, use it as a base in your sauces. Let the baby eat that stuff, get it in the red light. I guarantee you when you go to Thailand you're going to be like, my little white baby is not getting burned, and you're going to be stunned. You're gonna be like, wow.
"If I can do it your baby can do it."
