"Mitochondrial biology tells us that the visible spectrum of sunlight is really important. So the more of that you get, the better it goes. There's been about six meta-analysis in centralized medicine that show longevity is a function of how much time you spend in sunlight. "I will tell you the only thing that they miss, is that it's not just how much time you spend in the sunlight, but it's also how dark your nights are. "In other words, remember I told you that the decentralized law for biology is that there's no central controller. So you have to do a good job, like I'm doing now being outside of my house in El Salvador. "But when the night time comes here at 06:30, we turn all the lights off. Like there's no TV. We're not doing anything crazy. It doesn't mean you can't have fun. You can still go out and do different things, but you need to protect yourself then do it. Protect your skin. Wear a lot of clothing then, wear blue blocking glasses. Then you can still go out and have a beer with your buddies you know here and there, or go out and pick up chicks. Whatever you want to do. It doesn't matter. But be smart about how you use time. "Most people, I think, have got the wrong opinion of Uncle Jack, where they think I'm not a technologist. No. I don't like technology because I think we abuse it, and I think your generation's been told there's no downside to it. "What I'm telling you is I want you to use it wisely, use it smartly. I don't want you to be Hal Finney. Hal Finney, Paul Allen and Steve Jobs all died from an unabated use of technology. Every single one of them. That's their story. "Yes, they may have done great things. But if you actually go and read Steve Jobs biography done by Walter Isaacson, what does he say in there? He says directly in there that, 'I would never let my kids use my own technology.' Think about that for a minute." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Joe Burnett @ 35:07–36:54

"Isn't hash rate a function of time? Absolutely it is. I mean, I would tell you that hash rate is the metabolic health of the bitcoin network that correlates to thyroid hormone […] free T3 and the TSH level in a person. […] "Within the bitcoin algorithm you have a hash rate. You have a proof of work mechanism. What else should we give Adam Back some credit for? What's the proof of work mechanism in nature? "If you look behind me that tree, the conacaste, there's chlorophyll in it. Chlorophyll is a nitride cage filled with a magnesium atom. […] That takes the sun, turns its energy into the hardness of a tree or the leaves. That's also a time machine. […] "Inside of Joe right now, if he was with me here in El Salvador, if I stuck a needle in his arm to draw some blood work on him, that red blood is hemoglobin. You know that hemoglobin is also a nitride cage? Looks exactly like chlorophyll. But you know what the difference is? In the middle of it you got an iron atom. […] It has a few more electrons than magnesium. "Why is this a big deal? Because the same thing that happens in chlorophyll happens in Joe, happens in Jack. "And here's the irony. Go back to that guy we talked about earlier, Einstein. He won the Nobel prize with the photoelectric effect. You know what that means? The only way you can deliver light to different tissues in that tree or me is through the electrons that you collect. […] "That tree behind me can live for four-, five-, six-, seven-hundred years. We can't, but it can. Why? Because it's always connected to the sun and the roots are in the ground 100% of the time. "It doesn't have to listen to a dermatologist to tell it to stay out of the sun. It doesn't have to listen to an opthalmologist tell you to wear sunglasses. It doesn't have to listen to any stupid primary care doctors tell you you should put sunscreen on your kids. No. You shouldn't do any of those things. "Because if you do those things then you should buy Ethereum or stay in fiat money, and go live in a 5G city and just say, 'Fuck it. I don't care.' "But when you care about your time, you're going to come to a place like this where we have all those beautiful things around us, and we also have decentralized money. It's legal tender here because of a guy that you know, Jack Mallers." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Joe Burnett @ 26:03—29:45

Giving Thanks "There's so many ways that we can actually structure our water. It doesn't have to get super fancy. Or if you want to, you can spend a heck of a lot of money as well. […] You can get it without spending money. […] "The way I test a lot of my stuff […] I use Veda's technique. […] Veda Austin has a water crystallography technique where you essentially flash freeze the water and it shows, on a grander scale, because everything is fractal, […] whether the water organizes itself into structures and patterns, or whether it just kind of looks amorphous, which would be unstructured, typically. "So yeah, the Aǹalemma Wand will structure water. right? It will form these beautiful ferns and hexagons, that's happy water, that's structured water. But I've done the same thing by taking my glass of reverse osmosis, remineralized water and holding it to my heart and thinking happy thoughts into the water, as weird as that sounds. Same thing. Right? I put that water, I flash freeze, it looks the same. "Tap water looks UGLY when you freeze it in comparison. […] And so you can actually take tap water, the same sample essentially, and take one and think happy thoughts, the other one you just freeze it, straight up, and you'll see the same sample of water will have different structure, based on whether you've provided the loving energy and intention, compassion, gratitude, whatever feeling you might want. "But it's why I think, Max, that every culture that I know of from history's past has had a habit of prayer or gratitude prior to a meal. Giving thanks, right? And giving thanks, is it just to give thanks, or did it actually somehow change the energetic quality of what they were about to consume? I think through understanding water, it actually changed the energetic qualities." —Carrie Bennett with @Dr Max Gulhane @ 01:02:38–01:04:59

Max Gulhane MD: "You mentioned structuring. How can we get the benefits of structuring? Are there specifical clinical evidence of benefit of structuring your water? Or is it an inferred, kind of deduced, benefit?" Carrie Bennett: "Oh no, there's clinical research. I mean drinking structured water has shown improvements on HRV, on blood sugar regulation. Because of HRV, you can imagine it's also been implicated in improvements in anxiety and depression as well. […] There is probably at least half a dozen good articles that I've read on structured water, in both human health, and then an additional amount of articles on structured water in things like animals and plants. "I like to look into that as well, because plants and animals don't necessarily know, 'Oh, this water is structured, so it's going to give me a health benefit.' Right? So if there's been poorly-controlled human experiments then you can see that. Actually there's a lot of structured water evidence in the plant and animal literature to indicate better, bigger crop yield, healthier size of various livestock. Chickens, their eggs, more nutrient density. I mean there's a lot of different things that have been studied in that case. "So there is research behind it. But just also I mean just anecdotally, or just viscerally, if water can hold information, which it can, and if you want we can talk about that. Maybe we'll save that for another time. But water can hold information. So if water can hold information, I want it to hold information that is of benefit to my body. Because literally, if it's not going to have good quality structure to it, it's not necessarily going to be helping to put my body in a thriving state anymore. It can actually go against it. One of my colleagues, Jenn (?), describes tap water as traumatized. Literally, not only are you getting all the toxins from it, but the structure is such that it is really ugly looking water, when you look at it from that molecular level. "So you want water to have structure, too. Because it's not just that there's proven scientific health benefits that it has, but the water is an antenna for energy and information. What I drink, in the same way that I don't want to put garbage on my body, in terms of toxic personal care products, that's very similar, in my opinion, to water that doesn't have structure to it. "Are we going to drink it, and is it gonna is it going to kill us? No, no. But can we choose a better quality substance that gives us actually more energy and vitality? Absolutely. And that's what structured water does." —Carrie Bennett with @Dr Max Gulhane @ 59:56–01:02:37

Irene Lyon: "Let's talk melatonin, my dear. Give a little crash course on what that is, why it's best to probably not take the supplements, and how we want that melatonin to be released naturally during the day." 31:41 Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, it's a great question. So yes, melatonin is a hormone. And we actually make it in two places, and most people don't recognize that. We make it in our pineal gland, so deep in our brain we make it. And then we also make it inside of our cells, it's called subcellular melatonin. "And so we think of melatonin as just the hormone that puts us to sleep. But it's actually responsible for so much repair. It's very much one of our most potent anti-aging repair hormones. "And so if you think about it, and if we were to test someone's melatonin, […] we see the pineal melatonin […] start to rise around sunset, and then peak right in the middle of the night. And then as the sun would start to be rising above the horizon, dawn, it starts to go down again. So we have this circadian peak when we're sleeping. And that makes sense, because yes, […] that pineal melatonin puts us to sleep. "But then it's responsible for running all of our cellular repair programs when we are asleep. Something called autophagy, which is like our internal repair, recycling programming. Apoptosis, kills off cells that don't function, don't serve us anymore. And so we need enough melatonin to not only put us to sleep but to run those programs. "Here's why you don't necessarily want to take it. Melatonin is a hormone. I have a hard time recommending blanketly that it's always safe to supplement a hormone, because hormones work in feedback loops. They work in these beautiful systems, tightly coupled systems. "And so the coupled system with melatonin is actually the fact that when you are outside in morning sunlight, those wavelengths that you capture in the morning through your eyes turn a chemical called tryptophan, which we think of at Thanksgiving. 'Oh, I've eaten too much tryptophan. I'm tired. Turkey. Yeah, yeah.' "So we've got tons of tryptophan in the morning just kind of swimming in the backs of our eyes. That tryptophan, as soon as it receives the light frequency, the ultraviolet light frequency, it takes that tryptophan and it makes it into serotonin. "So it actually sets us up to feel good, energized, focused. It sets up our brain to be productive for the day. And then that serotonin, as soon as we sense the light is waning and darkness is coming, that serotonin then gets converted into melatonin. That melatonin gets used up, broken back down, and the tryptophan gets recycled back in the morning. "And it's this beautiful cycle. Tryptophan gets the light, becomes serotonin, feeling good, doing my thing. Day goes, day wanes, melatonin. And that's how it's meant to be. "When you insert it just artificially here, it's really confusing to your body, because it's like, 'Well, wait. We didn't have the stores to lead up to it. How did that happen?' "And so you're more likely to have tons of tryptophan in the morning that makes you just feel groggy as heck, gives you a hard time waking up. You have a hard time getting out of bed. You start to feel worse, especially then if you're not converting that tryptophan back to serotonin with morning sunlight, and linking the whole process together." —Carrie Bennett with Irene Lyon @ 31:21–34:53

Irene Lyon: "What's the connection there with those hormones in the evening and that blue light? And the sex hormones […] like progesterone […]" Carrie Bennett: "I think everyone has heard of cortisol before. Right? We know it's our stress hormone. And I think everyone realizes we do get a surge of cortisol in the morning. It's meant to wake us up and energize us. So we have to have elevated cortisol in the morning. "But before it's cortisol, it's actually the master steroid hormone called pregnenolone. So let's say, nine o'clock in the morning, the mitochondria […] make pregnenolone for us in all of our cells, but there's especially the ones that are in our sex cells. "And that pregnenolone can become a lot of different things. So at that point of time, my body, my brain, takes a snapshot and says, 'OK. Is Carrie in a safe space to make a baby? Does she have enough body fat stored on her? Is this a time of year when food will be plentiful to feed a growing baby?' All of those things. "And so I can funnel that pregnenolone to progesterone, to estrogen, to all the things that my body would need in order to prep, to create a baby, and grow a pregnancy. "Or I can be in a state of, 'Wait. Carrie is in stress. She's being chased by a saber-toothed tiger. She's got a deadline at work.' And so they'll funnel a lot more of that pregnenolone into cortisol. "And so every morning my body is making this decision for me in the morning. "And then when ultraviolet light, the more intense frequencies of ultraviolet light appear, when the sun gets higher and higher, that actually is the off switch. That's why cortisol starts to slow down, it starts to decline. "And that's where the other steroid hormones, the estrogen, the progesterone, the testosterone, also start to just kind of create this balance. They get regular. 'OK, Carrie has too much estrogen in here. We're gonna boot it out this way. Testosterone is low, we got to raise it up a little bit.' And so that's where the body starts to regulate those hormones. "So picture what happens at night. When the day is waning, and all of a sudden we get that jolt of blue, and we're producing cortisol again. We're producing all of these steroid hormones again, and there's never any ultraviolet light to counter that. Which means that all of a sudden we're having the challenge of, 'I'm making the hormones, but I don't have the off switch to kind of regulate it.' "And so what that means is, to regulate hormones, it's about just modifying your light environment. It's about getting outside key times during the day. OK. Let me get a little morning light. Let me get a little ultraviolet light. When the sun is going down let me make sure I tell my body the sun is going down, and I keep my house chill and dim and calm. Let me do what I need to do to mitigate the blue light from entering my eyes if I'm watching screens, so that you don't get that hormone surge at night. "And you kind of get that nice sleep, your melatonin is giving you some repair, and then when you wake up and you go outside, you get the natural blue to start the process over in a healthy way again." —Carrie Bennett with Irene Lyon @ 52:03–55:14

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

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 56:41–58:53

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 54:32–56:25

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 50:05–50:52

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 39:51–46:52

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 39:50–43:39

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 25:13–27:43

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

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

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 @Dr Max Gulhane @ 03:07:41–03:09:08
