Dr. Jack Wolfson: "Is there any role at all for retinyl palmitate supplementation, vitamin A?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "No […] Excessive retinol in any form, I don't care if it's synthetic or even natural, has been associated with significant problems. […]
"It has to be linked to circadian biology. That's what controls it. […]
"You can't go taking something exogenously and thinking you can replace it endogenously.
"The cool thing is, if your redox level isn't trashed, eating liverwurst or eating seafood every so often helps prime the whole system. Mother nature and evolution designed you to take the pieces and parts […] to do the right things. […]
"Sunlight controls the entire system, both in the eye and all the peripheral clock genes that are present. Guess what controls the peripheral clock genes? Melanopsin. Guess what controls the SCN? Turns out it's melanopsin again […]
"When you have blue light or non-native EMF, really any other part of the spectrum besides visible light, it disassociates the retinol from the melanopsin. […]
"When retinol comes on, [if] it's not connected to the circadian mechanism it becomes toxic. Which is why I tell people, 'Do not supplement with it.' Because what does it do? It destroys leptin biology. […]
"The retinol locally destroys the photoreceptor. It's the same reason why we have AMD in the eye, because when retinol gets out there, it thins the retina. It destroys it. OK? Because it's ruining rhodopsin, melanopsin, and all the cones. It's also the reason why people get cataracts." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Jack Wolfson @ 32:44 – 39:13 https://youtu.be/I537lQoiu5c&t=1964
"For example, fibromyalgia, in my opinion, it's not only a disease of the mitochondria, but it's also a disease of the collagen. This is the reason why when you touch some of these ladies, even when you try to do massage on them or you do acupuncture, it kills them, because that system is broken. It turns out there should be a better method.
"I use tons of red light on them before I actually put them in the sun. And I tell them if you don't build your solar callus first, you're never going to get better from fibromyalgia. Then once you build that, then I'm going to be able to put you in the sun.
"Because most ladies that have fibromyalgia, they'll tell you getting in the sun for them is miserable. And it's true. The reason it's miserable because their mitochondria can't make water.
"It's kind of like, to understand this, it's like having a house in the 1920s, then hooking up the modern power line to it. You're going to burn the house down." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Carrie Bennett @ 53:14 – 53:58 https://youtu.be/v_AX3sRvvIs&t=3194
"And the one thing that infuriates me is that every single person that will ever listen to this video is here listening to it because Mother Nature allowed you to be here.
"5,000 years ago there was no centralized doctors. OK? It was nature. And we are here because of that medicine.
"And we are the most arrogant silly talking monkeys to not realize that even when we have data from 5,000 years ago that the Egyptians put a sphinx that looks to the east grounded to the ground in the middle of a desert. They were telling us something. There was a reason they named their God after the sun.
"Now, did they have it all right? No. Just like I'm telling you on this podcast I don't think I have it all right. But do I think that the Egyptians had more right about decentralized health than the FDA and the CDC have right now? That's exactly what I'm saying."

"Infrared A light forms up 42% of sunlight. It's the dominant form of light. Turns out red light in you is the fastest way for you to build your solar callus. So that means the more red light you get, the more UV light you can assimilate and you don't need to be outside and you'll never get red.
"You know you've met me, I'm an Irish guy with freckles. I can stay out in the sun for eight to 10 hours. In fact, this weekend on Sunday I was outside watching some of the NFL games, out 10 hours straight in the sun. Do I look like I'm blistered and miserable? No.
"The key is, people don't know this about the skin, that this ability is there. Women are recalcitrant to do this because they assume that they're going to get wrinkles, because that's what the dermatologist tells them. You know what the irony of the story is? The higher your skin redox is, the more mitochondria you have, the more water it makes, the less wrinkles you get. It's actually the opposite. If you want to get wrinkled, sit in front of a computer all day." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Jack Wolfson @ 59:45 – 01:00:45 https://youtu.be/I537lQoiu5c&t=3585
"It turns out AM sunlight is the key to begin fixing people's sleep. And everybody knows when you sleep you begin to regenerate. Why? Because it increases melatonin levels. Melatonin controls autophagy and apoptosis.
"So when you can rebuild that energy facilitation in somebody, in other words, you then can take somebody who has −200 mV and get them closer to −400. And it doesn't happen overnight. But it's one of those things that's about being consistent. And if you're consistent with it, it doesn't take as long as people think.
"There's some people, if I do a full work up on them, I tell them, 'look, you're looking at 18 to 36 months.' Those are the people I'm telling you right now: they got to move. There's no option for them. Why? Because they're so far gone.
"But even then, do I think if they do things right they can improve themselves? Yeah. And I'm not gonna tell them to do anything else. Because when they move down there, they don't really need the lights. They've got the best light in the world. They just need to learn how to use it.
"You know using solar power sensibly, the way nature built it, you have to have your solar callus built. You have to understand that all branches of sunlight are not equivalent. They're different for a reason.
"And they all funnel to water. It always comes back to what is the light doing to water. I always try to tell people to understand it functionally I want you to think about water it allows Apple to talk to Microsoft. That's what water does in yourself. It takes all the environmental signals outside and then it makes sense to them in the mitochondria inside.
"In other words, a mitochondria is an electromagnetic sensor that has to decipher the cipher, the information, in sunlight. Water helps that process. Water makes it easier. That way you can think about water and light as the Rosetta Stone for mitochondrial biology." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Carrie Bennett @ 47:48 – 49:51 https://youtu.be/v_AX3sRvvIs&t=2868
Dr. Jack Wolfson: "Give me some strategies, if you will, to deplete the deuterium from the body. How do we minimize our exposure?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] Dr. Laszlo Boros, who is an MD PhD at UCLA, he has shown pretty clearly through his work in Hungary with a researcher and MD named Gábor Somlyai that ketogenic diets are deuterium-depleted diets.
"In fact, one of the number one things that you could eat to deuterium deplete yourself is coconut oil. It has a deuterium level of about 101 parts per million. Well, it turns out that all fats, almost all animal products are deuterium depleted. Guess what has the highest level of deuterium in it? This is where you're going to laugh. Vegetarians won't like this part.
"Anything that's made from C3 or C4 photosynthesis. It turns out C3 photosynthesis forms 80% of the food webs on the planet. That's the one that has the highest level of deuterium in it. That's the one that vegetarians eat.
"Guess what depletes us of deuterium? Solar mechanism, meaning the sun and your circadian biology. It's present in many different systems.
"In fact, when I went back to the Weston A. Price meeting this year in 2018, that's what the talk was about." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Jack Wolfson @ 29:31 – 31:00 https://youtu.be/I537lQoiu5c&t=1771
"You learned, just like I did in medical school, how fast the enterocytes turn over in our body compared to everything else: 24 to 48 hours. You know what that means?
"That means nature, when your circadian mechanism is working, has a mechanism that works very efficiently getting rid of enterocytes that are filled with a bag of shit. Got it?
"So, guess what happens when you're blue light toxic, or you put the cell phone up to the side of your head instead of putting it on speakerphone?
"Your enterocytes are filled. That's what leaky gut is. It's an electromagnetic phenomenon. It ain't tied to any bullshit tied to foods […]" —Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Jack Wolfson @ 28:43 – 29:22 https://youtu.be/I537lQoiu5c&t=1723
Dr. Jack Kruse: "You know, because you have experience in this, that when you get a diagnosis [of cancer] like this the first thing that happens you get scared."
Maria Menounos: "Yup."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "What I want people to know is: don't get scared. Because guess what? The way regeneration works. […]
"Because what is cancer effectively? It's a dedifferentiation of the cell to a more embryonic form. […] That's what Robert O Becker found in his work. That's actually what happens. Now here's the interesting part.
"A dedifferentiated cell doesn't cause a problem if the immune system, the T- and B-cells, actually operate. Why? Because it can controls that cell from being able to do the things that you know that cancers can do, specifically metastasize or grow uncontrollably.
"But if the immune system is not operational at the time that you get dedifferentiation, then guess what happens? Then you get your mom's problem, or you get your problem in the pancreas. […]
"But the reason I'm explaining this to your audience, I want you to know that you have to be decentralized. To be a good decentralized patient, you have to subtract the superfluous. That means you cannot be afraid."
Maria Menounos: "Yeah."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "You have to know that when you get a diagnosed of cancer, you have been injured, just like if you cut your finger, Maria, in your kitchen. That's how you need to think about it. And what your body is saying to you: 'there is something in your environment that is causing my cells to dedifferentiate.'"
Maria Menounos: "What could that be?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "The number one thing is what I talked about the last time I was in Malibu. It's loss of melanin. It's hypoxia. […] When you have a lack of melanin you have no sunlight."

"Has calorie restriction ever been proven in primates? The answer is fucking no. So why do we keep fucking beating that drum?

"I'm going to tell you the fastest way to get a thyroid tumor, Hashimoto's or a neuroendocrine tumor in your pancreas is to use Ozempic to lose weight.
"It is the single biggest risk right now to so many people out there. Why? Because everybody is using these GLP-1 drugs to lose weight. […]
"It's quantum mechanical. It's not cause and effect. It's more probable than not. […]
"I want you to open the package insert the next time you go to the pharmacist and read what the side effects of the medicine potentially are. […]
"I've been seeing a lot of patients with complications related to it, and it's complications that are getting much more difficult to deal with. The number one thing that I'm concerned about is damage to the hypothalamus. I think it has a massive effect on the leptin-melanocortin pathway, and that effect isn't consistent across. I think it has different effects on different haplotypes from the mitochondria, and in different places you live in. […]
"I've been talking to a lot of doctors about this, the place that I'm worried about it the most, is probably New York, Chicago and Miami. But I think part of the reason for that is the people that are there using it have an indoor existence. They're not getting enough sun, and it's changing the signaling in their body." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Maria Menounos @ 15:55 – 18:41 https://youtu.be/4RlbKZrkgEg&t=955
"That's the thing I worry about, because people don't realize the unmyelinated brain is much more sensitive, through nonvisual photo receptive destruction, very, very quickly. And that's the key metric.
"You could destroy a brain faster with light than you can with drugs. And you know when I say something like that people think it's hyperbole. It's not. The data now backs this up.
"Just think about it: your two-year-old niece, they live in a time where kids are now killing themselves at record rates. And you know, magically everybody says, 'oh, well it couldn't be the iPad.'
"I told Anjan this just when we did the podcast this weekend. I said, 'dude, your target market is all humans.' But really, any parent that owns an iPad should immediately switch out to his tablet. Why? Because technically it's a huge step in the right advantage. Doesn't mean that there's no RF and no microwaves coming from it.

A Drug For Every Ill
"What you have to realize is that you've been preconditioned not only by the system, by your parents, by schooling. […] you have been preconditioned to accept what they tell you, and they're the experts, and you'll do it.
"E.g., when you go to see a doctor, no matter where you are in the world, whether it's Europe or the United States, if you don't get a prescription for it, you feel like, 'well, this was a waste of time.' That idea comes from the preconditioning you got.
"When you begin to realize that the person who really preconditions everything in medicine, who gave doctors that idea, who doctors gave the patient the idea, that was big pharma. That started at the turn of the 20th century. That started with the robber barons in the United States who basically had one of their oil trusts broken up. And then from the breakup, started the idea of big pharma, which started in New Jersey.
"They started to use industrial chemicals to place in pharmaceuticals. […]
"They actually came up with a guy named Flexner to come up with a report. And in the report says this is how we're going to fix schools. The idea of the Rockefeller Foundation at that time is if we can change the curriculum, we can change the culture of medicine away from vitalism towards reductionism. […] What is the single key moment that solidified that the Rockefellers would win?
"It was actually Alexander Fleming discovering penicillin. When penicillin comes out it's truly a miracle drug. It does things that no other drug's ever done. And what does that do?
"It kind of pushes everybody to the belief that there's a drug for every ill. And that was reinforced post-war America, post-war Europe. It was reinforced everywhere in the world." —Dr. Jack Kruse on the Longevity & Lifestyle podcast @ 11:54 – 14:49 https://youtu.be/tha7IPtUTAU&t=714
"You'll be shocked, 'cause I've been talking bad shit about blue light all the time. Do you know what one time Uncle Jack loves blue light?
"It is when you have a burn victim. You put blue light on a burn victim, you know what it does? It stimulates the skin to grow faster (which is the reason why blue light causes skin cancer) […]
"But believe it or not, when someone has a burn, using blue light, unopposed blue light, actually causes the burn to heal faster because you're stimulating repair. One of the things that I've talked to several burn trauma surgeons about, that I believe when they do use the blue light, they need to add the 380 light for the reason I told you before. 'Cause nitric oxide talks to the stem cells in the skin to even redo it faster.
"One of the things that people who don't use the UV light have noticed: the skin that comes back after you use the blue light always has less pigment in it. And I think the reason for that is because the way nature wants this done it needs not only the nitric oxide stimulus, but it also needs the UV stimulus to turn POMC on. Why? Because POMC has to migrate into the new skin as it's growing." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Danny Jones @ 04:02:39 – 04:03:52 https://youtu.be/SiBFtwbyv44&t=14559
"Einstein, when he died at 76 years old, his brain was not atrophied. […]
"There is a power law at the basis of energy production. And it's called Kleiber's law. You can look it up. And there's a line. See the line right there? Doesn't matter where you are on the evolutionary path; you're always along the slope of that line. So what does that tell you?
"You're in a zero-sum game. And I remember when I learned about Kleiber's law, that's when I realized that having really big muscles when you're a human is a disadvantage. […] So what is nature telling you?
"Where you bury your mitochondrial density is the key. […]

"I trained at a time where doctors worked for the patient. Today most neurosurgeons, they're working for a hospital system. So that means there's an oracle problem.

"I think it depends on the child and how significantly they've been impacted, and also the level of [mold] contamination. […] If a child or person hasn't been significantly exposed, what I find is with some filtration and deep cleaning, and just some things that any person can do, a lot of times that's enough to move the needle.
"And then when you drop the toxin load by getting rid of the grains and these contaminated foods, that further reduces it. And then as you control the inflammation in the gut that then allows things to move along. […]
"Unless someone is living in scary amounts of mold, in which case they they need to take action, […] in milder amounts […] We Inspect has some really wonderful handouts on do-it-yourself deep cleaning.
"HEPA vacuum. When I tell them this that they're kind of look at me weird until they do it and it works. So HEPA vacuuming or dusting your walls, because that's where a lot of the mold lives.
"Decluttering the environment. Get rid of all the stuff that can trap the dust and the mold.
"From there just HEPA vacuuming the heck out of everything, the walls, the rugs, the furniture.
"Run HEPA filters.
"And one thing that I've become a huge, huge fan of is, and I know there's some controversy around this, so not all the environmental people agree with me is, ionizers. […] The newer technology doesn't produce any ozone, so there's no bad byproducts.
"But essentially what these filters or purifiers do is they emit these little tiny electrostatic charges that we can't sense, but it actually causes the mold particulates to stick together, which actually causes them to drop out of the air or causes them to stick to the walls. And then when you do your cleaning you actually clean it." —Dr. Pejman Katiraei on Nutrition with Judy @ 21:05 – 22:25 & 01:23:14 – 01:24:54 https://youtu.be/oUBHaaELkOo&t=1265
"There are now two or three articles that substantiate this view […] it's quite possible that the right microbiome is about making the eight [pivotal] B [vitamins].
"And it turns out now I've been doing this for a long time. Really all you have to do is have a D over 40. You don't even have to have it 60 to 80. You have to have a D over 40.
"You have to [take] B50 or B100, use that for three months.

"Anytime you have fluoride present it has a massive effect on proton tunneling. Proton tunneling is how every enzyme on this planet works. So if you have it in an aqueous solution it will slow your enzyme kinetic rate down.
"In fact, the only halogen [...] that really helps, [...] especially if they have fluorosis on the teeth, they need to eat a lot of seafood with iodine in it. [...] Iodine helps tremendously get rid of fluoride.
"But you need to do it with the sun. You need your skin exposed to get rid of it. That's how I got rid of my fluorosis. [...]
"Anybody who's got a real bad fluoride problem really, really, really needs to get a lot of iodine in their diet. And the way to do that, the best way, not from table salt, I want you eating seafood, especially shellfish. [...]
"One of the biohacks that I did for my fluorosis, since I live in the south we have big gulf shrimp. And you know that when you peel the shrimp you have that little foot on the end, and it usually leaves a collar on it, the chitin or the exoskeleton. Most people don't know this: it has more iodine in it than thyroid medicine does. [...]
"When I'd eat 12 shrimp I'd eat one of that chitin to get my iodine in it. [...] So any kind of shellfish that you eat is good.
"The other thing is if you have flouride issue and you're worried about it: seaweed. Eat seaweed once a week." —Dr. Jack Kruse @ 36:54 – 39:57 https://youtu.be/nE-zJpRYK58&t=2214
Q: "Is there any hope in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who have chronic gut dysbiosis?"
Dr. Stasha Gominak: "Yes. Do the right sleep program. It turns out that ulcerative colitis and Crohn's are two of the easiest things to fix.
"It's not just about getting a normal microbiome back […] it's a combination of D plus large dose B complex, because those are growth factors that the normal microbiome require. And it really turns out that once you get the microbiome back usually the symptoms of the inflammatory bowel disease get much, much better.
"But the core of my idea is not that vitamins are good for people, because they're not always. It's that you could use deficient vitamins to improve your sleep.
"And once you get somebody with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's sleeping better, that is where the immune system starts to heal itself.
"So we've been taught that autoimmunity is permanent and that it's a genetic disease. That's not true. It has genetic factors that make some people get inflammatory bowel disease, and other people get rheumatoid arthritis, and other people not get autoimmunity. But you can actually affect the immune system by sleeping better." —Dr. Stasha Gominak @ 59:54 – 01:01:25 https://youtu.be/LbAXAvMEZX4&t=3594
"Why is lousy sleep the new normal, and has it always been this way? […]
"Is this relevant to my patients who are suffering with pain? Absolutely it is! […]
"In my view, pain of any origin only gets better if we get into deep sleep. […] The body always heals itself. We try to help, but healing really only happens in sleep. […]
"What's changed in the last 40 years that is affecting our sleep? I'm going to tell you right up front: we've all moved indoors. […]
"Vitamin D actually run our asleep. […] Most shocking of all the microbiome the bacteria that live in our intestine runs the sleep too. […]
"Moving indoors means we have a low vitamin D. […] A low vitamin D means ruined sleep. And because the vitamin D supports the microbiome […] losing your microbiome ruins your sleep." —Stasha Gominak, MD @ 03:16 – 07:51 https://youtu.be/LbAXAvMEZX4&t=196
