Irene Lyon: "Let's just say someone has trouble sleeping. Is it useful for them, at the beginning of this, to actually force themselves out of bed, when maybe they finally fallen asleep at 5:00am, when the birds are starting to chirp. I see you shaking your head saying no.
"Or is it better, and this is what I've just done. I'm not sleeping till noon or anything like that. The first thing I do is I walk outside. I wear contacts, so I don't put my contacts in anymore. And I just stand there or I'll go for a walk or a bike ride or something like that.
"So what's your feeling on people who have such disrupted sleep? Tell me."
Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, you're exactly right. We build anxiety around sleep, especially if we're poor sleepers. And typically poor sleeping means we either wake up a ton at night, or we go to bed really late, we have a hard time falling asleep.
"So no. You know, a hardcore quantum health person be like, 'Suck it up and wake up.' Right? 'First thing in the morning, my friend.'"
Irene Lyon: "Boot camp."
Carrie Bennett: "Right. Exactly."
"But I would say no. I've worked with enough people who have that dysregulated circadian rhythm. I've tested their melatonin. Their melatonin is spiking at nine o'clock in the morning. And they can't wake. I mean, they can't physically. It would be almost, I don't know, it would be too jarring. Right? It'd be too jarring for them to do this."
Iren Lyon: "Abusive to try to do that."
Carrie: "Abusive. Exactly. It would not feel nurturing. They wouldn't get the same benefit like I felt, because I was up anyways.
"So I tell people that, with my night owls who are transitioning to more of a daytime circadian rhythm, they got to block the artificial light at night. Because you don't want to artificially keep yourself awake.
"See the sunset if you can. Spend evening time outside. Your eyes are picking up the 'time of day' no matter what time of day it is. So if you can, kind of then set the stage on that end.
"You're doing it perfectly, Irene. You get out first thing when you wake up. And your eyes, again, can pick up the time of day and tell your brain the time. Right? It then communicates it to all your cells, and you go on your merry little way."
Irene Lyon: "Great. Thank you." —Carrie Bennett with Irene Lyon @ 18:01–20:15 https://youtu.be/_rGxeExQYjs&t=1081
Max Gulhane MD: "Maybe we can make a quick point about glyphosate. If we're using a reverse osmosis filter then we're going to remove this ubiquitous industrial herbicide glyphosate from our water. Why is glyphosate important both for deuterium and the exclusion zone?"
Carrie Bennett: "Gosh, glyphosate. I mean there's so many reasons why glyphosate is impactful. But what glyphosate really does is it just diminishes our body's ability to create exclusion zones in the first place. It really, truly happens where our connective tissue is, our collagen.
"As you know, collagen is the most protein we have in our body is in the shape and structure of collagen. Right? It's a huge component of our physical structure. Collagen has a very unique triple helix formation. It wraps around itself. We need that. I'll talk about why we need that in a second.
"What most people might not know is that collagen has the amino acid glycine as a very prominent. . . every third amino acid in collagen is glycine. Unfortunately the gly- in glyphosate looks very analogous to a naturally occurring glycine amino acid. So we can literally replace the glycine in our connective tissue with glyphosate.
"And that changes the ability of the water of the connective tissue to fold appropriately. So if these triple helixes aren't forming, we're actually not getting what are called water nanotubes forming. Which sounds wild, but there's such beautiful research to indicate that that's literally our high-speed communication system, throughout our body, is through these water nanotubes.
"In addition, if glyphosate is there, we're again not creating adequate amounts of exclusion zone water, either. So we're shrinking that conduit as well, through which we can funnel electrons to help to establish healthy redox in our tissues, too.
"So this connective tissue is just such a huge component of our physical bodies, and glyphosate is just detrimental to that tissue in so many ways. Not to mention that glyphosate is a mitochondrial toxin as well. So that's just a double whammy right there." —Carrie Bennett with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 56:41–58:53 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=3401
Max Gulhane MD: "Do you see any use of deuterium-depleted water outside of very specific medical indications, say cancer? Or would you perhaps just recommend that people get a lower naturally occurring spring water that has lower amount of deuterium?"
Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, the cool part about deuterium is that we've got ways to sequester it and deplete it naturally in our bodies, if we utilize it. So well before recommending deuterium-depleted water, I always say, 'Are you maximizing infrared exposures?' Because we sequester our deuterium in the exclusion zone, because deuterium has a higher binding affinity to oxygen. Right? Almost 10 times stronger.
"So that's why a protium is going to get kicked out. And that protium is mobile, that proton zone, that's where that protium actually can go to places like the inner membrane space.
"But we're trying to ensure it is a protium because we want to maintain the exclusion zone and that will hold the deuterium.
"So I want people to max out that, max out sunlight on the skin, sweat, make sure you're pooping regularly. These are ways that we just naturally can deplete deuterium.
"Then if someone's concerned with something like cancer, for example, it never hurts to have deuterium levels tested, because it's a very easy test to do. A company like Litewater will offer that, and you can just see what in general what your deuterium number is. And if it is 150, 152, 154, it would probably behoove you to go on a key deuterium-depletion strategy, which will involve deuterium-depleted water.
"But deuterium-depleted water by itself, while still eating foods really high in deuterium, and not doing the things to sequester and have the body eliminate the deuterium naturally, really in my opinion doesn't do a whole heck of a lot." —Carrie Bennett with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 54:32–56:25 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=3272
Max Gulhane MD: What are the most common or in your mind the most toxic and damaging contaminants of water?
Carrie Bennett: "Oh gosh, I mean there's, I hate to say it, but there's so many in common tap water these days. One that's really ubiquitous in where I live is fluoride. Fluoride really is detrimental from the quantum perspective. It's very detrimental to the connective tissue network. It turns on collagenase or really activates these collagenase enzymes that break down collagen. Also fluoride, it has been shown to do something that's called lower the dialectric constant of water. A dialectric constant is just a fancy way of saying how much charge, how much energy can that water hold. It's like how much can that battery maintain that be charged up." —Carrie Bennett with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 50:05–50:52 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=3005
Max Gulhane MD: "Should I add minerals to my water? […]"
Carrie Bennett: "I think step one you got to filter out the garbage. Right? So that's the most important thing that we focus on is getting rid of all the toxins that are in the water. That being said, I find that when appropriate remineralization happens in the water it is better absorbed, because minerals give the water charge and charge enhances its absorption.
"I've had clients in the past who have said, 'Well Carrie, I drink three liters of water a day and I'm just peeing every 20 minutes.' Turns out that the water that they were drinking was reverse osmosis water. That would mean it eliminated all the toxins, but also eliminated all the minerals from the water. These are people who are drinking water but they're truly not absorbing it well. Because the water, when it doesn't get absorbed well, the body has no choice but to basically flush it out via the kidneys. So you're going to pee a lot.
"I've had clients who have played around with Quinton minerals, which is an isotonic version of seawater essentially, meaning it's really rich in minerals. When when you overdo minerals in your water, when you over consume too many minerals in your water, you're going to get diarrhea. Right? Your colon has the ability to say, 'Nope. We don't need to absorb any more minerals. We're going to flush those out of the system.'
"So I find that the body has a built-in mechanism to know if you're absorbing water well. You don't want the diarrhea, so you don't want that many minerals that you get the diarrhea. You don't want to be peeing every 20 to 30 minutes. And you want your urine in general to be of a lighter, like a very lightish yellow, not excessively clear, all the time. Right? But a light, light yellow.
"If that's what's happening to you, like you're peeing every couple of hours or so, your urine's light yellow, you're drinking the good quality water with a little bit of minerals added to it, I say that's good enough. You're generally hydrated in my opinion at that point.
"Nuance there for people who have things like POTS who may need more minerals and more water for things like blood volume. But obviously there's a lot of case-by-case individuality that goes into this." —Carrie Bennett with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 39:51–46:52 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=2391
Max Gulhane MD: "Should I drink an arbitrary amount of water? […] Should I drink to thirst versus a prescribed amount? […]"
Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, drinking water is an interesting one. […] The vast majority of the water inside of our cells is due to our mitochondrial production.
"It is, however, important to maintain healthy blood volume […] Do you know Dr Batmanghelidj, have you read his stuff? Dr Batmanghelidj has written so many books. He was an Iranian physician who was kept prisoner during the Iranian Revolution. He being a doctor, they brought prisoners to him in this very stressful prison situation. All he had to give these prisoners was water to drink.
"He saw time and time again how it reduced pain so drastically. […]
"He found that when the blood volume gets too low, which is going to be more likely to happen in a stressful situation, because mitochondria, when they're stressed, they're going to be poor water producers as well.
"The stressful situation would result in what he called chronic unintentional dehydration. When someone's blood volume drops to a certain extent, histamine turns on.
"He saw that histamine was a drought management system, […] that histamine's job at that point was to direct blood and fluid to where it was absolutely needed, and it would shut off in other other parts. […]
"Which was good temporarily. Right? Because at some point then someone would come across water and then they would potentially be able to rehydrate their blood volume.
"But if it was chronic, in terms of we were in a very dehydrating environment for extended periods of time, he found a pathway where histamine elevated certain cytokines that would lead to tissue destruction. Those pathways would also do things like fragment DNA and RNA, which has its own implications. That would just further than drive things like autoimmune disease. […]
"And so I'm of the opinion that the amount of water that one needs to drink is dependent a lot on their environment, their mental state, and how functioning their mitochondria are." —Carrie Bennett with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 39:50–43:39 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=2390
Max Gulhane MD: "The concept of redox. Can you talk a little bit about that […]"
Carrie Bennett: "Sure, yeah. So redox is actually known in the conventional medical literature. The 're' stands for reduction and the 'ox' stands for oxidation. That's describing the reactions that are taking place inside of our bodies. Reduction basically means something is gaining electrons, and oxidation means something is losing electrons. […]
"Well, we don't want too much oxidation. Right? I think everyone's heard that word oxidative stress, or oxidation, and that actually can drive inflammatory cascades. […]
"However what I think mainstream (and actually probably functional) medicine gets wrong about this is that the assumption is well in order to maintain an appropriate amount of redox reactions, we need to supplement antioxidants. Because that's what antioxidants are: they can anti oxidize things, because they've got electrons to donate.
"And that is true to an extent. But what's been overlooked is the fact that the water, in it of itself, because it has a negative charge, has the potential to be its own redox pile, if you will. That's how Mae-Wan Ho described it so beautifully. She called it a redox pile, so that it can donate as needed. And we have to make sure we have adequate amounts of charge in it for that to be maintained.
"So that's why things like earthing are also beneficial, because earthing brings those electrons into our body via the surface of the earth through our skin. And that actually goes into the exclusion zone to maintain a healthy charge of that exclusion zone, so that it can maintain its redox status.
"So I just view redox as: do you have adequate charge to calm the oxidation? And that happens through the understanding of water and electrons." —Carrie Bennett with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 25:13–27:43 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=1513
"I'm gonna first say that don't make perfect be the enemy of good. Literally any time that you can go barefoot outside, whether it's for 10 seconds or 10 hours, you're going to get a benefit.
"That 10 seconds. . . the flow of electrons into the body is instantaneous.
"It's not like it always takes 40 minutes to soak these electrons up. No. You will literally, if your body is electron deficient, you will literally start to soak them up immediately.
"So anytime you can touch the ground barefoot, whether it's concrete, grass, sand, dirt, you name it. Anytime you can touch the earth barefoot.
"Asphalt, probably not so much. Wooden decks. Wood will insulate, so if you're on a wooden surface, try to go directly onto the earth and you'll start to conduct the electrons.
"In an ideal situation, uh you're in an area that you got some there's morning dew on the grass. Water helps to conduct those electrons, so you stand with bare feet on that wet dewy grass and you are really starting to soak up those electrons and rebalancing out what you might have lost sleeping as an indoor creature disconnected from the earth.
"So it's a really good way to start your day off and say okay perhaps I'm electron deficient from sleeping inside, not being grounded. Let me soak them up and re-establish some sort of electron balance in my body." —Carrie Bennett @ 38:11–39:37 https://youtu.be/B99KRxSjmNk&t=2291
"One that I think is really beneficial to the general population that I'd like to talk about is the impact of earthing on blood flow. […] if it impacts blood flow, it has the potential to impact blood pressure. […]
"Before grounding, there's a ton of images of people with blood where their red blood cells are clumped and stuck on top of each other. Picture it as a bunch of donuts that are literally in a stack, one on top of the other, on top of the other, kind of like suction cupped together. They're really connected. In technical terms this is called rouleaux, this stacking of blood cells together.
"That is not healthy for our red blood cells. Every red blood cell wants to be this individual unit that can travel freely through the bloodstream to do its job. When they're stacked on top of each other they're dysfunctional.
"Why would red blood cells stack on top of each other like that? Red blood cells want to be coated in a negative charge. […]
"When you start to drain the red blood cell of electrons, if you're disconnected from a source of electrons, then these red blood cells lose this negative charge […] it's going to start to clump together […] We do not want that.
"And so it's really cool to see after 30 to 45 minutes of grounding. You see a blood sample under this microscope that's got this stacking happening. And then all of a sudden it's perfectly, it bounces back and forth. You see these red blood cells spaced so beautifully again. They're completely separated. That's a beautiful thing.
"I've seen this happen especially in conjunction with being really, really close to non-native electromagnetic fields: working right next to your Wi-Fi router, having a cell phone on your body at all time emitting cell phone radiation. Even clients who didn't even realize it, but right next to their home office, on the other side of the wall, is their smart meter, and that has been doing it.
"I have seen non-native electromagnetic fields do that and deplete or cause that clumping. I think it's because it's depleting the body of electrons." —Carrie Bennett @ 23:55–24:11 & 25:53–26:42 & 28:04–29:43 https://youtu.be/B99KRxSjmNk&t=1435
"I want to talk about the number of conditions that I've seen being impacted in a beneficial way from earthing, from things as simple as really improving the quality of one's sleep, to impacts for conditions that I never thought would benefit from earthing, like tinnitus, which is ringing in the ears.
"The Earthing Institute also literally lists, I think it's like a hundred different conditions that have been shown to be anecdotally (you know, case study) benefited from changing the amount of time that one is in contact with the earth with bare feet." —Carrie Bennett @ 23:15–23:54 https://youtu.be/B99KRxSjmNk&t=1395
"It turns out all those things that doctors learn in biochemistry, all the fancy steps in glycolysis, where it has all these enzymatic steps, do you know where all those steps come from? It's the sun putting hydrogen on the carbon backbone in the right place. Why?
"The right place is determined by your engine called the mitochondria. And if that hydrogen is not where it's supposed to be, that's how a pineapple can cause you a problem on December 31st when you live in Boston. OK?
"So it's not just the story of processed food. Processed food is bad, but the reason that most people are told that it is bad is wrong. It's because it is not grown under the power of photosynthesis, or it's been affected by man-made ingredients that put too much deuterium and not enough hydrogen in it. What does that do?
"Inside your mitochondria, which is an engine, just like we talked about before, a Ferrari. There's a part of it, it's called the fifth cytochrome. Most people have heard of it. It's called the ATPase. ATP is the chemical that doctors all learn about that's the energy protein in the body.
"Well it turns out ATP can only be made when the Fo head of the fifth cytochrome spins 3.4 revolutions. What makes it spin? H+, light hydrogen. Deuterium cannot fit in the spin.
"In fact, when you put deuterium in it from inside the mitochondrial matrix what do you do? You break it. In other words, your Ferrari engine becomes a Nissan Sentra blowing black smoke.
"Hence the reason why coconuts and pineapples at the winter solstice, it's a no no." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Brandy Victory @ 20:00–21:48 https://youtu.be/PfEOtlJapfg&t=1200
"It turns out the boost that I can give my uncoupled haplotype and my white freckled skin is actually stronger light as I age. What am I effective saying to you? Let's break all the science out. Let's make this very simple.
"Basically, Jack Kruse is a Nissan Sentra who is built for Toronto, Canada whose battery is now declining. And the only way Jack's car works in Toronto anymore is to get AAA to come put cables on the battery to jump it. The car starts, but guess what? You have to continue to do that all the time. If you don't, guess what happens? All the other systems in the car start to go south.
"That's what chronic Neolithic diseases are. So if you're the Nissan Sentra and you're Jack Kruse, and you look to your left and you look to your right and say, 'Maybe what I should do is augment the battery by staying in a place where I can get electric power from light all the time. Maybe then I don't have to worry about my coconut [points at brain] not working. Or my heart not working. Or my body falling apart because I need a hip replacement. Or my bones are falling apart. Or whatever.' You named the disease, I'm OK with it. […]
"Now, at 60 years old, he's in El Salvador. […]
"I realized functionally that I could augment my battery way better, really better, if I got more sunlight throughout the whole process.
"And the other thing that I realize is that aging is like having a bad battery. It's not a disease. The longevity guys want to tell you it's a disease. It's not a disease.
"We are designed to decline over time because we can't generate as much electric power on our inner mitochondrial membrane to run our TCA cycle. So anything you can do to augment that, just like I said with the car battery, makes sense." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Jones Hussain @ 01:18:14–01:21:06 https://youtu.be/rKDl37lqEBg&t=4694
Carrie Bennett: "I think the light environment and understanding light and non-native EMF is the foundation upon which I really get to sort out symptoms with clients. […] Your light environment is a signal that every cell in your body uses to tune its clock to. And if that's off, you can imagine that if you're not getting the right signal, then your body is just going to be out of whack. There's really no better way of putting it.
Sarah: "Yeah, I love that.
[…] Your body is not going to be able to heal properly if you don't address this foundational thing. […] If we get the signaling down correctly in your body, a lot of these things can kind of take care of themselves. Or if you do plan on doing a detox protocol of some sort, it's going to be a lot more effective, because your body kind of knows how to manage things and how to detoxify things properly. Right?
Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, absolutely.
"[…] What people don't realize is that oftentimes a body that's been going through a chronic illness journey or a chronic health journey is a body that's depleted energetically. So it doesn't matter what binder you throw at it. It doesn't matter what tincture you throw at it. It doesn't matter what herbal remedy to kill parasites you throw at it.
"If you are lacking at that fundamental level of energetic capacity, it's not going to do its job to the extent that you would hope it will. […]
"Energy is generated in a combination of light, water and mitochondrial function. If those aren't addressed, then I don't care what you're doing. It's not the foundation upon which your body needs. […]
"And I know you and I have seen many times in clinical practice where when we lay the foundation using light and mitochondrial support and understanding how the water operates in our bodies, that we give people's bodies energetic reserve to do what it naturally knows how to do. It doesn't need the protocol then anymore to start to detoxify or to feel better." —Sarah Kleiner & Carrie Bennett @ 22:32–22:40 & 24:08–27:50 https://youtu.be/jVT7diR7758&t=1352
Max Gulhane MD: "And to round it all up, let's just give […] three key things that a listener […] can really take to the bank and implement in their life.
Dr. Jack Kruse: "It's very simple. I'll give you the the story that I used to tell people in the early podcast 15 years ago.
"Mimic the Sphinx. Every morning look to the east as the sun rises. Never miss another sunrise the rest for your life. And put all your extremities on the earth, feet and hands. Stay there for as long as you can, because that's the key.
"The second thing is eat like a great white shark. You want to eat mostly protein and fat. You can eat your carbohydrates, but do it in the morning.
"And probably the third and most important thing: come up with a sleep hygiene program where you absolutely limit all artificial light after the sun sets.
"Those are the three things you do. That's where you should start.
"Then if you want more details, then you're probably going to have to sign up for my Patreon blog or listen to my Q&As that I do for my members, 'cause that's where I go into the nitty-gritty details. That's where I split your head open about quantum mechanics." —Dr. Jack Kruse with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 03:07:41–03:09:08 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=11261
Max Gulhane, MD: "I use low carb as a first entry point into lifestyle change, and particularly just removing processed foods. But I also talk about light and I also talk about the circadian rhythm. . .
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I want you to change your paradigm right now.
"Tell people that low carb is about going on a technology diet. Not so much a food diet, because of POMC. If you tell people that, then this podcast will have been worth it. Why?
"Because the food exacerbates the POMC problem. The food exacerbates the ACTH, the CLIP [Corticotropin-like intermediate peptide]. That's the story.
"Tell everybody you know that you come from a family of animals that makes food from light. That is the key.
"Once you understand that, then I'm okay with you going after people about eating cheesecake and cannolis and whatever the hell else you guys eat in Australia.
"The bottom line for me is, I don't want people to lead with food. I want people to lead with light. Because that is the story of our species." —Dr. Jack Kruse with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 02:45:12–02:46:33 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=9912
"What does wearing sunglasses really do? It blocks α-MSH. This is the reason why all Australian women are as white as Casper the ghost […]
"I think people need to understand that the use of sunglasses actually atrophies your eye. It atrophies your skin.
"When you understand that the skin is a solar panel for your brain, it should be no shock why humans die from brain diseases and heart diseases. Your heart, the things that innervate your heart, is the sympathetic chain and then the vagus nerve, which is part of the brain. When these things are broken, humans die from them.
"Blocking the light is the key. I mean it's so fundamental to understand, that there's papers out there about the human heart, that if you irradiate the human heart after a heart attack with
red light, it creates adenosine. Adenosine is the chemical that puts us into sleep. But it also re-establishes the phosphorus cycle […]
"The crazy thing is when we do ATLS as doctors, one of the chemicals that we use to rescue heart rhythms is adenosine. So anybody who's got to be rescued with adenosine in a cardiac standpoint, what does it tell me as a physician? That person never went in the sun. Because that's effectively what's happening. You are devoid of red light frequencies, and you're paying the toll. You're paying a thermodynamic toll because your heart is failing and you're going to have an MI.
"Peripheral artery disease, same way. It's a block of the ferroelectric current in your body. This is the reason why people that have coronary artery disease and people have neurodegeneration almost always have peripheral artery disease.
"And what's the other common tie? If you look in their eye you'll notice the same thing at Bruch's membrane and the RPE. The same PAD, peripheral artery disease effect, can be seen here. […] these things link together, and the reason is because it's light.
"So every time you think you're looking cool, like Coco Chanel or Nicole Kidman, wearing sunglasses and dyeing your hair and putting all kinds of crap on your skin and makeup. Remember makeup blocks all these light frequencies. You are creating havoc in your body." —Dr. Jack Kruse with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 02:08:31–02:11:53 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=7711
Max Gulhane MD: "The melanoma patients that I've encountered in the clinic and in the emergency department, I took a detailed history from them, and overwhelmingly they didn't go in the sun, they were overweight, they. . .
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Of course. That's the fastest way to get melanoma. That's the reason why people in Australia have it. You guys stick out like a sore thumb.
Max Gulhane MD: "[…] I quickly want to make the mention of omega-6 fatty acids and linoleic acid in the skin. I mean empirically, people reduce the linoleic acid content of the diet and their skin burning ability goes down. They become more resistant to sunburn. So surely that that's got a role too in development of melanoma.
Dr. Jack Kruse: "It's got a role but it's not as big a role as you think. […]
"I will tell you that the single best thing that you can do is you got to use red light from the sun, like from sunrise to the transition to UVA, wherever you are in your latitude.
"What people don't realize is that red light preconditions your skin for UV. This is the reason why morning light is irreplaceable.
"I always tell people when I do podcasts, they always say Jack, give us your one actionable task. The actionable task is: you need to harvest as much red light as you possibly can when you have atrophic skin. […]
"And you have to realize when I say atrophic skin I'm not just talking about thin. I'm talking about you have no melanin anywhere. Like Australian women are all blonde hair, blue eyes. That means their exteriors are devoid of POMC. And then what do you do? Then you put sunglasses, sunscreen, and clothes on, even more." —Dr. Jack Kruse with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 01:37:10–01:39:33 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=5830
A frequency imbalance in the light that you live in
Neuropsin is a special opsin that's found in your cornea and your skin. It's a UVA light detector. As soon as you find out that it responds to UVA light, that should be enough for you to question your dermatologists and your primary care doctor: '[…] Why in the hell would we have a UVA light detector in our eye or our skin, if somehow UV light wasn't important?' […]
"We now know that there's many people have LASIK surgery they get really bad depression. It turns out that when you disrupt the neuropsins in your eyes, it can affect the other photoreceptors in the eye below, which is melanopsin, which is located in the periphery of the retina. […] And the reason why is, what frequency light bends the most in the eye? Blue light. This is the reason why melanopsin is found there. […]
"So these blue light receptors are there. They go to a nucleus in the brainstem called the habenular nucleus. This whole pathway from your cornea, all the way through your eye, into the habenial nucleus is loaded with POMC.
"If you zap this with a laser, the signaling, the optical signaling is disrupted, and someone can develop depression in two or three weeks and kill themselves. […]
"I like to talk about contacts, I like to talk about sunglasses and how bad they are, because they do the same thing. Except they have much more wide frequency things, because contacts block oxygen. What happens when we block oxygen? […] It affects mitochondrial function. It affects calcium flows inside the mitochondria. […]
"So when you're hypoxic in any level, what are you doing to the physics of the system? You're decreasing the power of the light that you can make inside. In other words, instead of having VUV light, which is 200 to 400 nm light, now you're only making, say, 330. That has huge effects for anything that's made out of phenylaline, tyrosine, tryptophan or histidine. […]
"Melatonin is one of those things. Serotonin is one of those things. NAD+ is one of those things. Dopamine is one of those things. Acetylcholine, epinephrine, nicotine. Like you're starting to see all the neurotransmitters made in your brain are fundamentally tied to this.
"So when you hear this nonsense that all these alternative practitioners like, 'There's a chemical imbalance.' No. There's a frequency imbalance in the light that you live in. That's what really is the story." —Dr. Jack Kruse with nostr:npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 01:56:36–02:00:34 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=6996
"I was like, 'How am I going to give this story to a young Max?' […] That's when I came up with the idea well, I can distill this down into two protocols: the leptin prescription and cold thermogenesis. […]
"So the leptin prescription basically is, you must stimulate POMC, everywhere in your body that it's located, via UV light. So that means the sun is important.
"[…] everybody in Australia that tells you the sun is bad, […] they need to understand that beta endorphin is also made in POMC. What is beta endorphin? It is an opioid chemical. Nature made us to be addicted to the sun. Hard stop.
"Everybody in Australia is going, 'You got to be shitting me. We're slipping, slathering, sunglassing and all this stuff.' You are doing everything possible to ruin POMC signaling in you by doing that. […]
"Then you make another opioid, it's called metencephalon, also from this. […] It's highly important in neuroimmune modulation and also immune modulation.
"Well everybody knows (correct me if I'm wrong) four percent of the world now suffers from autoimmune conditions. And Max, I'm sure you can tell your own audience that when you're in medical school and they teach you about MS, they never have an answer for what causes it. The only thing they know is that when you get closer to the equator it goes away. Right?
"So your job as a doctor is to treat all these people with this condition and try to figure out how in the hell it happens. And you come up with all these big pharma solutions that are worth nothing. It's garbage. Hard garbage.
"What they need is the sun. Why?
"Because everybody that has MS has a defect in POMC. They don't have enough of it. And that's where you begin.
"So that's the functional idea behind the leptin prescription: is get mammals, who absolutely can't live without the sun, back into the sun. That was goal number one of decentralized Jack." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Max Gulhane MD @ 39:56–43:45 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=2396
"I used to be very, very bombastic about stuff like this. I said, 'look, you're a bunch of low dopamine idiots. You don't realize the major neurotransmitter in the frontal lobes, where all executive function and thinking cognitive ability is, is dopamine and neurodrenaline. That's what's here [points to forehead]. Neither one of you seem to realize that this is all controlled by dopa and melanin.'
"And that's it. That's all you need to know.
"And the crazy thing is cold, in the literature, has been shown to increase dopamine and neurodrenaline.
"You can make it two ways. There's two different ways to do it. And the reason why there's two different ways is because that's how mammals did it way back in the beginning.
"This story, without understanding our family, our origins, I don't believe this will ever penetrate the skulls of centralized medicine. And you know what? I'm past the point of trying to educate those people, Max, because I think it's more important to go take this message directly to patients.
"Patients control their light environment more than the doctor can. And I think when people get brave enough to trust their own doctor in their head with their intuition, if you listen to what you and I have talked about today, none of this. . . I mean it's amazing to me.
"No wild animals wear sunscreen or sunglasses. The only animals that get diseases that we have are the ones that are in the zoos. And hopefully somebody will be listening to this in Australia and realize, is Jack fundamentally saying that we're zoo mammals? Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Precisely. We don't live the way we're supposed to live." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Max Gulhane MD @ 02:41:55–02:43:40 https://youtu.be/Ln3WszTq0uA&t=9715
