"You have to, as a physician, to solve your patients problems, really truly understand how they fell apart to begin with.
"And if you don't understand that it's a light-based story, it's not the story you've been told, then you are failing as a clinician.
"I know, Max, that you didn't learn any of this. But you have to remember something: neither did I.
"But I asked the question: WHY was I a fat ass? WHY did I gain 150 pounds after my residency?
"Well it's blatantly obvious now. My residency kept me in blue light for seven, eight, ten years of my life. And I was up every night. I never would have thought in a million years that the choices that I was making around my profession to be a neurosurgeon were actually what got me in trouble.
"And I told you when I figured out the leptin prescription and the cold thermogenous protocol, I didn't even believe it was gonna work when I did it on me.
"I fundamentally didn't believe it. That is the essence of science. That's what a hypothesis is.
"And if you think about your country especially. You guys just went through this with covid. Your government is still lying to you. They told us all to social distance and stay in our house, the absolute wrong thing to do with any virus, especially for the immune system. Wear a mask? That's even stupider, because it decreases your oxygen, and it's going to affect the way your immune system can operate.
"But this is what I'm trying to tell you, that you have to question authority. If you don't question authority, you're not doing science. You're doing pseudoscience." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Max Gulhane MD @ 02:38:55–02:40:46 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=9540
"I don't believe there's a disease on this planet, with the exception of the true genetic ones, that are not completely reversible. I think the key thing is you have to teach people that the defect really isn't in them, it's actually in their mitochondrial biology, and it's tied to your environment that you choose. […]
"Mitochondria are an electromagnetic antenna for your environment. That's the reason why it's designed to connect wirelessly to the sun and also to the earth. Once you understand the basic wiring diagram of a mitochondria, I personally think medicine becomes really easy.
"Because the things that I teach people, they're not really that difficult to do. What the difficulty is we become addicted to our modern life. Many times the things that we've become addicted to in our modern life have brought us the diseases that we have. […]
"If you do this every day of your life you will have the greatest impact on your health. It's actually seeing the sunrise. That's 80% of the game. Everything else after that one point, I'm going to tell you that it's important, but if you get that one thing right, that's the key.
"The reason for that is the sunrise actually is what starts your circadian mechanism. Your circadian mechanism actually controls certain biogenic amines that are in your body that control your mitochondrial change program. […]
"There's only two change programs in mitochondria. One is called apoptosis, the other one's called autophagy. It turns out that AM sunlight is vitally linked to the efficiency of both of those programs. Apoptosis is when you get rid of bad engines in your body that don't make energy. That's usually what happens in people that have diabetes, cancer or the chronic diseases we talked about in the past. There's another one which is called autophagy, and that process is when you recycle the bad engines, rebuild them so that you can make good energy again." —Dr.Jack Kruse with Sherrill Sellman, ND @ 12:10–13:13 & 15:01–16:28 https://youtu.be/Wp7Dm2NJgmg&t=730
"You guys know that in the United States right now we've got a big time depression, suicide, and opiate problem. What most people don't realize is that this problem all links back to a chemical that's made in your eye and goes into your brain.
"The chemical's called POMC. […] This chemical is made in the brain and it basically breaks down to six different chemicals. […]
"There's other chemicals that are made in here but […] we make two really big chemicals in our eye initially that link to this story. So if you're not getting AM sunlight, […] from sunrise to about 10:00 AM, you're chronically deficient in it, you have an alteration in melatonin and dopamine. And it turns out depression is very associated with dopamine.
Well people don't understand about dopamine, is dopamine is created from the aromatic amino acid tyrosine and phenylalanine in humans. […]
"These aromatic amino acids are photon traps for this AM light. It turns out that melatonin has to first be programmed by AM light, but it doesn't act in the brain or the gut until light is gone at night for about four hours. So this is the reason why there's a brain-gut axis."

"From a detoxifying perspective, or a protection against the environmental insults perspective, we really need to focus on the basics first. Jack will frequently say, 'redox before detox,' because redox essentially describes the net negative charge of the body, describes how well your mitochondria are working.
"All of the detoxification mechanisms our bodies have rely on mitochondria.
"So if our mitochondria are dysfunctional and suboptimal, because let's say our light environment, and deuterium load, and our magnetic environment, also the electromagnetic environment in general is poor, then we can't even begin to detox, because our redox is broken. We don't even have the tools, the raw materials to do it.
"So we need to focus on the redox status first. Then if you want to support your detox pathways and this and that, you can do that. But we're playing a losing game if we're starting with detox and we're not paying attention to the mitochondria." —Dr. Alexis Cowan with Danny Jones @ 01:24:49–01:25:38 https://youtu.be/TE5k81SaXAA&t=5089
"When I think about bioenergetics, most people think about food. Food is only one-third of the story.
"We also have direct exposure and stimulation of melanin in the skin by the sun. […] That makes free electrons and free energy.
"And we also have the third pillar being grounding in direct electron exchange from the earth.
"We're really only getting one of the three pillars in the modern day, from the food, and most of the food is BS anyways. So our bodies are starving to death. […]
"Food doesn't have to be food that you eat. Food can also be sun on your skin and your bare feet on the earth. People don't realize that. […]
"When you're eating food, you're eating for protons and electrons. Of course you're also eating for micronutrients that help to facilitate certain parts of metabolism. […] But first and foremost you're eating for protons and electrons to power your mitochondria. And if we think about it in that way then we can be like okay, where else do we get electrons from?
"Well, we can get it at these two other areas that nobody else is essentially thinking about or talking about. And then when you think about it in that way it makes total sense why we're kind of experiencing this energetic crisis as modern humans." —Dr. Alexis Cowan with Danny Jones @ 1:35:36–1:37:58 https://youtu.be/TE5k81SaXAA&t=5736
"Big muscles don't give you longevity. In fact, big muscles usually lead to earlier death, and the death usually is from a cardiac event or intracranial event. And the reason why is because you're stealing energy from the two energy hogs in your body. The two energy hogs in your body are your brain and your heart.
"This is the fundamental reason why going to a blue-lit gym and hypertrophying your muscles is about the stupidest thing you can do when you live in an artificial-lit world.
"The smarter thing to do is what the Sherpas do. Go at high altitude where it's cold, where the UV light is strong, and what you'll find out is you shed atomic mass. You're still ripped because you are thin, but your strength goes through the roof.
"And the reason why is because what are you doing? You're actually making your muscles way more effective. […]
"I think what the Sherpas have is spectacular. If you can keep enough muscle mass to keep your strength up, that really is the story of longevity. But you need to realize in that mindset, strength is more important than hypertrophy. That's really the key." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 01:03:54–01:04:45 & 01:09:18–01:09:34 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=3834
"When I tell them I want you to get your skin in the game when you have a gut issue, it means I want from clavicles to your pubic bone in the sun as much as possible. Because what does that do? It sculpts your microbiome. [...]
"Nothing has the power to change matter more than light. Why? Because it's not encumbered by mass. Food is always encumbered by mass, therefore it's not the top prescription for people with a leaky gut. It's always the light. And you have to get the circadian mechanism correct for gut issues. That's the reason why AM and PM light is huge [...]
"If you're not suicidal and you don't have a brain-gut axis issue, you may not need to go to El Salvador. You may just need to say, leave Stockholm and let's say go to Tenerife or maybe the Canary Islands to fix your gut. [...]
"I really enjoy taking care of people with gut problems because I actually think they're some of the easiest people to fix. The problem is most of them don't believe that they need an environmental biohack to fix the gut problem first.
"And this is the reason why this is one of the few times that I'll tell you that I like functional medicine people and I like food gurus. Because I want those people to believe that it's calories in calories out, and food is the dominant thing, to go to those people and waste their money. That is the punch in the mouth they get. [...]
"Humans are a very interesting mammal. They tend not to do the right things until they get the punch in the mouth. It's part of human nature that especially when you get sick, that the answer could be standing right in front of you, and you still won't choose it. [...]
"Their health needs to fall apart. [...]
"To be honest with you, I was that person up until I was 40 years old. I believed everything that the rest of them believe. Then it took my punch in the mouth to wake up.
"I really believe that wounds create our wisdom. I am a big believer that you have to believe the propaganda enough to get sick enough before you get woken up to reality." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 37:30–44:30 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=2250
"What is 'grounding?' Grounding, just as a very basic, basic way of looking at it, is being barefoot on the surface of the earth. That means barefoot on the grass, barefoot on sand, barefoot in a stream, barefoot even on concrete. […] When you stand barefoot you soak electrons up through your feet into your body instantaneously. […]
"Grounding, or 'earthing', can actually act as an antioxidant. Electrons want to exist in pairs. When electrons are paired up they're happy. When they're by themselves that's when they can start to create damage.
"Let's say we're in a process where our body is inflamed. What would be an example of our body being inflamed? Well arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis or any sort of degenerative condition where we get tissue damage. Also inflammation can happen in the gut as a precursor to so many other different conditions. Basically any diagnosed Western disease has a form of inflammation in it. […]
"You can't overdo grounding or earthing. The body soaks up and distributes the electrons as it's needed and where it needs to go. And then once you reach this equilibrium point, or this homeostasis, your body's not going to like all of a sudden create oxidants or free radicals from earth's electrons. It's […] the ultimate antioxidant […]
"How much time does that take? On average, if it's something like calming joint inflammation, a lot of these studies are doing anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes of earthing […] If we're dealing with a more complex chronic condition like multiple sclerosis, those reports are trying to get individuals earthed and grounded 16 hours a day, or more even, for an extended period of time. […]
"Similar with a condition called fibromyalgia, where there's like a generalized pain and fatigue throughout the whole entire body. Autoimmune condition, same thing. […] the more inflamed one is, the more one needs to be connected to the earth." —Carrie Bennett @ 01:26–04:18 & 17:06–19:21 & 21:38–22:54 https://youtu.be/B99KRxSjmNk&t=1026
"We are the most adaptable animal on this planet. But we don't realize that that adaptation comes at a cost. It comes at a thermodynamic cost. And that cost is always paid in the biologic toll called diseases. And that's really the essence of what the chronic disease epidemic is all about, everywhere in the globe.
"I guess what I want people to realize is when you get that punch in the mouth from a disease, I want you to think about it differently than the food gurus or the nutrition gurus or the workout gurus are going to tell you.
"I think when you realize that light is not encumbered by mass, and you get in the light, that's the fastest way for you to reverse this problem. And no, you don't have to understand how the time dilation mechanism works in the mitochondria. If you want to, I'll be more than happy to explain it to you […]
"Wild animals figured this out. Nature made this really simple for natures to do. You just have to live within nature.
"So if you just get the message from this podcast that all Uncle Jack's asking you to do, is go live outside more than inside. Get as much sun as you can. If you really get sick, try to get to a place that has better sun, or better sun and cold. And do that consistently and then watch what happens.
"I think when you do that, that's about the best decentralized medical advice that I could ever give anybody." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 01:23:06–01:25:12 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=4986
"People that are really struggling with increasing their mass also have a light problem. Like people don't realize that anorexia and obesity are almost the exact same thing, because of the way the mechanism is caused. But the real difference is that light is behind it. And it turns out light is different. […]
"Anorexia is a story of the sun. Usually their problem is they don't have enough UV light. They don't have enough infrared-A light. They need to operate all their cytochrome proteins on their inner mitochondrial membrane so they optimize apoptosis and autophagy. That's the real problem.
"And when you do that, you'll fix the hormone panel that controls that. The number one thing that that controls that is IGF-1 axis. And when you control IGF-1 you'll start to see it rise. And when it rises, it'll rise enough so that you're able to keep the mass on that you need. But generally, it's a deficiency in sunlight." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 01:41:49–01:42:12 & 01:47:06–01:47:44 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=6109
"It turns out the poor UV is the real key for you getting fat. It goes back to the Fritz Popp story. The people in Southern India have pretty good UV. They still get diabetic but they don't become fat.
"So when you begin to realize that fatness really is a problem of blue light, and blue light to an excess. And not only that, to get really morbidly obese, not only do you have to have blue light during the day, but you also have to have blue light during night. That's actually how you get the fattest.
"So in the United States, the real problem with obesity is the people that are doing shift work. Shift work people have a huge problem with obesity.
"If you're living indoors like, say you're living behind the windows, people don't realize that the latest data, 89% of humans in the United States live inside. You don't realize that the glass here blocks all the UV, blocks 40 to 60% of the red. So it should be no shock why that's an issue. […]
"And then when you think about the lights are above are LEDs. Remember the governments all got rid of the incandescent that actually gave you some UV. […]
"And then when you get inside remember the screen there's not a single computer company, with the exception of the one I'm involved with, which is the Daylight Computer, that makes computer screens that have no blue light in it. Well why is that? Because blue light addicts you to their technology. It also makes you fat.
"So the single number one thing for you to do is to limit your blue light exposure during the day and at night. And you need to do both. And you need to use every strategy you can. Some of the things that you've talked about already, like going in cold, that helps you shred, for sure. But blue light is a huge problem." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 01:44:05–01:46:31 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=6245
"Food isn't about macronutrients. Food is about light. […]
"At the Paleo f(x)™ conference in 2011, when I was a keynote speaker, I actually told people in the paleo community that if you don't see the sunrise every day you can't fat burn. So I want you to think about that for a minute. Your TCA cycle requires AM sunlight in order for it to spin counterclockwise. Because remember, the TCA cycle is connected to the inner mitochondrial membrane. […]
"The ketogenic diet only works when you see the sunrise every morning. Why? You cannot fat burn without AM sunrise." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 01:08–01:11, 06:51–07:15 & 01:46:43–01:46:51 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=411
Sasha Latypova: "Charles Richet was a French researcher […] In 1913 he was given Nobel prize for […] the work on anaphylaxis […]
"When you look at this work […] you understand a few things. […] It's impossible to vaccinate for anything. And Richet has demonstrated conclusively […] While he never himself said it's impossible to vaccinate, but when you read his work, you know it's impossible to vaccinate. […]
"He figured out that if you inject some poison which may be even not noticed at the beginning […] and then a certain number of days goes by, and typically it's twenty days […] even the minute dose, which is not considered dangerous at all, may create in some percentage of them, a very violent illness or even death. And he called it anaphylactic shock.
"Now what he also discovered that it doesn't have to be poison. […] It could be something considered benign, like milk, for example. It can produce the same effect […]
"He discovered […] that it's impossible to predict anaphylactic reaction or anaphylactic state. It's impossible to predict who, which if you inject a group of 100 people, which 20% of them will be anaphylacticized. We don't know. And we still don't know. […]
"Second most important thing is that at the time that he discovered it, a bunch of other researchers called milder reactions "allergy." And he was against it. He said it's the same phenomenon; you shouldn't call it a different name. […]"
James Delingpole: "Even stuff like hay fever?"
Sasha Latypova: "Yes. It's also a form of anaphylaxis. A milder one. […]
"So when your child develops a food allergy, like gluten allergy, first of all you don't even realize what it's allergy to. […] And then ten years later your child has an autoimmune condition […]
"But now of course the vaccine industry says, 'oh no, no, no. It's your rare genetic mutation. It's hereditary.' So victim blaming starts. It's your bad genes. Or it's your bad food habits, because you're eating seed oils and sugar. Or maybe because you live near the power line. […] Those are the common ways of how they gaslight you to look away from those injections." —Sasha Latypova with James Delingpole @ 09:17–27:01 https://rumble.com/v5gnghp-sasha-latypova.html?start=557
"A lot of the healing effects of photobiomodulation rely on the stimulation of stem cells and progenitor cells. […] The main niche [of] stem cells in the body is the bone marrow. I mean there are niches all over, but certainly the bone marrow has the most stem cells.
"Now the question is how much light gets to the bone marrow? I mean bones are transparent to light. I mean they scatter light quite well, but they're actually white, so they don't absorb light.
"So it's possible that the light can scatter around the bones and get to the bone marrow." —Michael Hamblin, PhD with Cameron Borg @ 44:43 – 45:29 https://youtu.be/xel3wZ4uT_c&t=2683
"It's certainly correct that you can use red light as a sunscreen.

Connect with Mother Nature
"The point is, I know that I'm older, that I'm working on the seventh decade of heteroplasmy in me. I need more sun, not less, to continue to do this.
"Remember, going back in the podcast an hour and a half ago, about our 76-year-old doctor playing pickleball and tennis and golf, because he read some papers that I won't get Alzheimer's that way.
"Guess what Uncle Jack's doing. This [points at sun] is where I need to do my decentralized and centralized spiel if I want to keep doing it long so that I don't wind up like the people that work out in blue-lit gyms. Or the people that are technologist like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Steve Ballmer or Paul Allen. I don't want to wind up really, really rich and dead at 67, or 65.
"I would rather, you know, be the guy down here still doing the podcast telling people: change the way you think because your life will change. You can have your cake and eat it too. You can.
"But the thing is, you need to understand how to do it. And the way you do it isn't by listen to a guru. The way you listen to it, your guru is Mother Nature. That's it. I want you to listen to her. She's the fucking the boss. OK?
"And we are a fabric in the boss's network. Don't ever forget that. You are no different than this tree behind me or that hippo or lion. You operate by the same principles. You need a connection with her, and it needs to be the most intimate connection that you ever have in your life. Because if it's not, the connections you make in life won't be good, whether it's professionally, socially, emotionally or physically. They will not be good. I promise you that."

Sherrill Sellman, ND: "So inflammation has a positive charge, and what we're really wanting to is increase the negative charge in ourselves. And that's what's called the redox potential. And we do that by increasing electrons."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Correct. You want to assimilate electrons in different ways. Most people in the food and exercise paradigm believe that you do that from food. It turns out that's not totally true. There's other ways of doing it.
"One of the ways that you may be aware of, because I like going back to the physics, I always like teaching people that. The sun that's on my face right now is a cathode ray. That means it's a negatively charged ray. It hits the planet. Our planet, spaceship earth, is an anode. When light hits an anode, what does it do? Axiomatically true, anywhere in the universe: reduces free electrons.
"Here's the part that the food and exercise guys very rarely know. We're the only primate on earth that has sweat glands on our hands and our feet. Our cousins, the apes and gorillas, don't. The reason why? They're designed to be continually connected to trees and the canopy. But we're the primate that has two legs that walks on the ground. It turns out because there's a wet connection, you actually gain free electrons from your feet.
"So if you really understand fundamentally how mitochondria work, you don't need to get all your electrons from food when you break it down through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
"If you remain connected in sunlight, that's part of the reason why you need to eat less. That's the basis actually of my leptin prescription that I wrote 15, 16 years ago. And I tell people the more connected you live, the less food you're gonna require.
"That's decidedly a different message than most food gurus and exercise gurus. Why? Because they tell you well you just need to eat less and exercise more and everything will be fine because it's all about calories in and calories out.
"Jack Kruse rejects that nonsense." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Sherrill Sellman, ND @ 05:50–07:49 https://youtu.be/Wp7Dm2NJgmg&t=350
"It's definitely true that the vitamin D you generate by exposing your skin to ultraviolet is more effective than taking it as a supplement. I think that's been well established. So if you're going to expose yourself to sunlight to generate vitamin D, it would make sense to use near-infrared as a protection, yeah, in addition to its established benefits on its own." —Michael Hamblin, PhD with Cameron Borg @ 35:35 – 36:01 https://youtu.be/xel3wZ4uT_c&t=2135
UV light will never hurt you when the six other colors are present
"You first have to understand why dermatologists and ophthalmologists believe UV light's bad in order to understand the whole paradigm.
"It turns out babies that were born with jaundice, […] they used to be put under UV light in the '50s.
"Well, it turns out a lot of those kids got retrolental hyperplasia in their retina. Immediately they found out, 'Oh, this is UV light exposure that caused the problem.'
"What didn't they know? That babies have lenses that are completely permeable to UV light. When we were in medical school, we were told by ophthalmologists that the lens blocks UV light, which is also bullshit. It lets 2% to 4% of UV through. Well, it turns out babies really let it through. Why?
"Because UV light stimulates brain growth. […] It turns out their lenses are permeable for sunlight to help stimulate them to grow. […]
"They eventually switched in the late '50s to the early '60s to blue light, because they found out the blue light didn't cause the retrolental hyperplasia and it was able to get rid of the jaundice. But what have we found out in the 2000s about kids that are irradiated for jaundice?
"They all have higher levels of melanoma, skin cancer, and this new cancer that's blowing up everywhere called ocular melanoma. It's the number one fastest-growing cancer in the ophthalmology literature. Guess what we found out now?
"We found out the story that the blue light goes from 435 to 465. That's what stimulates melanocytes in the RPE of the eye and on your skin. It's actually the key frequency range that melanopsin works at. Now we know that it's artificial blue light that really causes the cancer.
"Turns out that UV light taken out of its spectrum, so if you're thinking about the Pink Floyd album cover, remember, UV light only makes up purple. There's six other colors.

"Because muscle fiber type is linked to actually your physiology and the amount of solar exposure you get as a kid. What's the key here?
"As a cardiologist, if you have anybody that has cardiac disease, your job is to get their chest, their sternum out in the sun as much as possible.
"With ladies who have heart disease, they say, "Well, I can't just take my boobs out and walk around." Well, actually you can, ladies. They make something called Cooltan out in your neck of the woods in Arizona, a clothing company in the States. There's another one that I push my members to, which is Kiniki. They're in the UK. And I found that Kiniki allows more of the infrared A and UV light to come through.
