Colonoscopies
Mike Maher: "We seem to have this emerging medicine field now. It's like, 'You need to be getting checked all the time, especially when you get above 40.' So I would love to get your thoughts on some of that.
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Yeah, this will be an interesting topic. Um, pretty much Peter and I are 180 degrees opposite each other. He is a centralized doctor; I'm a decentralized doctor. I do agree in preventative medicine, but the preventative medicine that I aspire to is not the preventative medicine that Peter aspires to. This [points to the sunlight behind him] is preventative medicine for the reasons I just mentioned to you. I'm looking to optimize light, water, and magnetism. Why? Because those are the things that your mitochondria pay attention to.
"When you stick a colonoscopy scope up someone's behind you're addressing and giving them blue light in their colon. That's generally not a good thing to do. Not only that, there's really no good data (as far as I'm concerned) that it does anything for the incidence or prevalence of colon cancer. As a screening tool, it's good for people and doctors that are in the centralized business. Why? Because they get to wallet biopsy people after that. Many times people get biopsies done.
"And then the last part of that, the devastation of injuries from colonoscopies. These things can kill you.
"So you have to look at the risk-benefit ratio. I just told you that […] the benefit isn't good, so the risk isn't worth it. So for my opinion, on that specific test, I'm out."

Blocking the light
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I'll give you another story that's linked to the Neanderthals and Homo, just so you can see that nature really is a fractal. Think about the Nubians: dark-skinned people who built the pyramids. We have all their bones right now. The ancient antiquities guys in Egypt have it. These people have perfect jaws, no malocclusions. Their skulls are thick. Their tendon insertions on their bones, they're spectacular. Now we have the mummies, who are the guys living inside the temples, who had all the money, who were centralized, and they were falling apart. They had all the diseases that people in the United States have today.
"And you know what that was the story of? That was a story of blocking the light. See it doesn't just take LED light for you to see this story throughout human history. The problem is, when are you going to see the story? When are you going to see the story of how alteration of light, water, and magnetism leads to disease. It led to diseases five thousand, six thousand years ago, just like it's leading to the disease now. But the diseases that we're seeing in the 20th and 21st century are happening at a much faster rate than they've ever happened before, because of this non-visual photoreceptor system that you just brought up, Mike. When you said, 'Jack, I don't know that much about it.' Hopefully, through this little sojourn through my brain, you'll begin to say, 'Maybe I need to learn a little bit more about the system because it seems like it might explain more things than we thought.'
"And see that's the beautiful thing about decentralization. You think what you're getting is one benefit, but what you'll find out is that the benefit you get back is asymmetric. There's a hundredfold benefit. This is the reason why I'm also passionate about bitcoin. The same thing is true. You think you're doing it just because of rehypothecation of money. But it turns out that bitcoin is going to be fully capable of ending wars in the world. There will be no reason to have them anymore. In other words, man can become fully decentralized.
"Do I think that modern man for the last five thousand years has taken a step back from an evolutionary standpoint? It's, you know, punctuated evolution like Stephen Jay Gould used to talk about. We don't look at it like that because we're the modern humans. We think that we're far and above, because we went to the moon and we did all these things. But we don't realize that even though we're living longer, we're only doing that because now we're using things that we shouldn't be using.
"And are you really living a life when do you spend more money on drugs than you do on food, or than you go on vacation? The answer is no, you're not."

Only food that matters
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Blue light actually destroys melatonin in your brain. When melatonin goes down, the other thing that happens that's very important is you lose DHA in cell membranes, everywhere in mammals. […] When you have no DHA in your cell membranes, what do you lose? You lose voltage. […]
"Most people know DHA as fish oil. DHA is concentrated in every eukariotic membrane. […] We have three pounds of it in our central and peripheral nervous system. We're designed to concentrate it. The other thing that's interesting about humans is we don't make it endogenously. In other words, we have to eat it. OK? And taking a pill doesn't obviate that risk. […]"
Joe Cohen: "Wait a second, we don't make it? I thought that we converted it from alpha-linolenic acid?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "No. Humans have hardly any ability to do that. That research has been published for probably 30–35 years. The world expert on that is a guy named Michael Crawford and Stephen Cunnane. They've written books and multiple articles on it.
"One of the only mammals that has the ability to make a lot of DHA endogenously, which is part of the reason why I eat it, is lamb. OK? But not all mammals have this ability. Humans really don't have it. And that's why one of the big vegetarian myths that they think you can eat flax seed and make DHA. Not true. Completely not true. […]
"DHA is the only lipid in 600 million years of eukariotic evolution that is able to turn sunlight into a DC electric current, and vice versa, it can turn a DC electric current back into sunlight. Now why is this important? Where is DHA highest in humans? In your eye. Why would it be highest in your eye versus your brain? What goes through your eye my friend? Sunlight. Right. Exactly. Sunlight.
"What sits right above your two optic nerves where they cross, in the geographic center of your head? It's called optic chiasm. There's this little thing called the suprachiasmatic nucleus and what does that control? It controls circadian biology. OK? And why does your suprachiasmatic nucleus require a higher level of DHA in your eyes?
[…]
"Because the clock in your head has to run faster than the clock in your liver, the clock in your feet, the clock everywhere else in your body. Why? Because biochemistry will be off. You'll develop chaos. […] What's another name for that, a synonym? It's called inflammation.
[…]
"And when you begin to understand that blue light destroys DHA in your eye, that's why melatonin drops. So what does that mean? It means that your clock in your suprachiasmatic nucleus cannot run faster than the one in your liver. When that happens you get a disease called diabetes.
[…]
"Grass-fed meat and organ meat don't have as much DHA as marine do."
[…]
Joe Cohen: "You support fish, right? The problem is when you cook fish you're heating DHA. . .
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, who said anything about cooking them? […] All seafood, even bad seafood, is better than grass-fed meat. […] But you need to realize that raw seafood is better."
[…]
"There's only one food that matters, dude, it's DHA. I'm not kidding you when I tell you that."

Mammalian battery, battery charger
Dr. Jack Kruse: "The sun's not bad. Only a fool would believe that. But what we have to do in medicine is explain to the dermatologist why it's a problem: it's because we're not able to do what plants can do anymore. Why? Because of our beliefs. We cover our solar panel that allows us to get those proper frequencies. And when you can't charge your mammalian battery, what's the mammalian battery made out of? DHA and water. OK? The sun is the jumper cables in this situation.
"What is the single number one way, like if you had a dead battery in your car, that you would go to Firestone to check? You'd put it on a battery charger and see. Is it totally dead, I need a new battery? Or can I just charge it? […] That battery charge in us is called the vitamin D level. And when your vitamin D level is low, it tells you that you are disconnected from the sun, or you have a problem with DHA or water, or it could be all three. And see that's where the biohack comes in. Your job as the biohacker is to figure out what's wrong and then you slowly fix each part of the equation when you realize what it is. (People on my site have already fixed the water and the DHA part.)
"The key issue is then fixing their life so that they can get that battery charger, at least a little bit, between 08:00 and 11:00. In the summertime in the northern hemisphere, which is I'm assuming where you are, we can also get it from 04:00 to 07:00 if you're in the right place. But if you live in a city and you've got tall buildings all around you, it's pretty damn hard to get sunlight at that time unless you go to a park. So you need to change those things about you, because guess what happens? Then you can charge your battery. […]
"You need DHA and water for the battery, and then you need AM or evening sun in the summertime. You got to have water. If your BUN/Creatinine ratio is bad on your chem 7, and you can look at that in my redox prescription. I go through 30 different lab tests that give you an idea how good or bad your battery really is.
"Your vitamin D level also will do it, but one of the things the primary care doctors have (at least in my hospital) have said to me that they've been shocked at, and this is a good teaching point for you to realize. They'll say, 'Hey, Jack this lady came in with a low 25-hydroxy vitamin D level,' that's a D 25-OH Level, which is how we check it, 'and I put the person on 50,000 of D3, you know, either once a week or 20,000 a day. They've been on it for six months and it doesn't come up.' What does that tell you? Tells you the battery's dead."

Spermatocytes, spike protein
Taylor Hudak: "During a recent speech in Stockholm, you said that you would recommend a woman of childbearing age to not become pregnant by a man who has been vaccinated. Can you expand further on what you meant by that?"
Professor Arne Burkhardt, MD: "Well, actually, I wanted to add something, but I was interrupted by a big applause to this."
[Flashback to The Doctors' Appeal, Oracle Films] Dr. Burkhardt: "If I may make a personal comment. This is not a scientific comment. If I were a woman in fertile age, I would not plan a motherhood from a person, from a man who has been vaccinated, unless. . ." [applause] "I think these pictures are very disturbing, very disturbing for me." [End of flashback]
Dr. Burkhardt: "And I said 'unless' and then I stopped. And I get many telephone calls of women who say, 'Well, what did you want to say? Unless what?'"
Taylor Hudak: "Yeah, so right now, why don't you tell us what else are you going to say at that moment?"
Dr. Burkhardt: "Well, I would at least wait for two or three cycles of spermatogenesis. Now the cycle of spermatogenesis is about 70 days, so I would wait for, let's say, three quarters of a year or something like that.
"And before this, I would suggest to make a spermatogram, examine the sperma and especially the motility, the motility of the sperma. So I think this would be an indication.
"Now as far as I have seen, and I have not only seen [a slide titled "Lymphocytic inflammation and spike expression in testes"] the testes of this young man [image on right labeled 'Spike protein', '29 y.o. male', '1 dose of AstraZeneca, 1 dose of Pfizer vaccine' and 'died 46 days after the second injection'], but also of an older man [image on the left labeled 'Lymphocyte cluster (HE)', '55 y.o. male', '2 doses of Pfizer vaccine' and 'died 7 days after second injection'], but of course they are more difficult to interpret. But as far as I can see the spermatocytes themselves do not express the spike protein, as far as I know by now. Anyhow, this is of course an alarming finding."

Sunrise, cold, grounding
Mads Tömörkènyi: "I'm interested in knowing what you consider to be the decentralized fundamental pillars of health if our audience should have a takeaway from this podcast. What are the most fundamental things they can do to optimize their health in an optimal way?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "OK, if you're Scandinavian there's going to be a little change. The answer I always give to this question on every podcast is never not see a sunrise ever again. You must see the sunrise. The caveat for Scandinavians: if you can't see the sunrise, make sure that you get in cold during when the sun should be there. Why? Because when you're in the cold you will make light stronger than the sun inside of you. You guys have the ability to do that all the time. So that's like what I would say. 1a is for everybody: always see the sunrise. 1b for Scandinavians: if you live, let's say 51st latitude or above, where all the Neanderthals died and where Homo Sapiens survived, embrace the cold. Embrace it like you can't imagine. And you take your jacket off. Do not wear the big thing that Jakob had on. I want you to be in a T-shirt, shorts like Uncle Jack was in up in your neck of the woods.
"You guys would be stunned how. . . I told my nurse this, I said, 'These are my people. I live the way my people should.' All the people I saw, they thought I was crazy. And I told them, I said, 'The truth is told, you're crazy. I'm the one that's doing it right.' That's what I want Jakob and Mads to tell the people in Scandinavia: embrace the cold even if you cannot get the sun, because the program inside of you as a Viking is to make the light that you don't get from the sun. That's the story."
Jakob: "And that could be made within. That's a good takeaway. And also ground. Walk with no shoes. Fuck shoes."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Right. Well you know I always tell Jakob people make like the Sphinx. Unfortunately, the Sphinx story doesn't go good in Scandinavia. But the Sphinx looks to the east, right, to the sun, all four extremities on the ground. Why? Because we have eccrine sweat glands on our hands and our feet. We're the only primate that has that. You know why? Because you're designed to get free electrons from the earth. So if you can do that when you have the snow on the ground, Jakob and Mads, Uncle Jack is 100% about that. I just don't want you to get frostbite."

Blue-blocking glasses during the day
Joe Cohen: "I've thought about […] wearing red glasses in the daytime. But the problem is I was always afraid that I'm going to ruin my circadian rhythm, because you need blue light in the daytime to set those clock genes."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "You only need the blue light in the beginning of the morning. That's it."
Joe Cohen: "Oh, I see."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "If you were following the leptin prescription, what does it tell you to do? As soon as you wake up, you go outside, not behind glass, not behind those glasses you're wearing, and let the sunlight hit your retina for about one to three minutes. What does that do? It tells your brain the sun just rose. After that, it becomes an endogenous clock. It doesn't need constant light."
Joe Cohen: "Ah."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "It's a one-time effect. But soon as you wake up, within 30 minutes, you need to get outside naked and let the sun hit you. Now where you live, it looks like you live someplace in the city, that's probably not going to work too good. But that's the stuff that I do."
Joe Cohen: "I'll still do it anyway."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Yeah. Well, I would just tell you that that's how it works. Once that clock is set the brain takes over the internal clock mechanism and then things can happen from there."
Joe Cohen: "That's very good information."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Yeah. The real thing that you got to worry about with the glasses during the day is that they can make you sleepy. I'd recommend no one drives with the glasses, because it'll raise your melatonin level. But I would only tell people to do that if they have extreme blue light issues. And the way to know that is you have to biohack your own environment. Most people don't know that. The guys on my site do because they do that all the time. They've been learning with me for four or five years how to do that, and then they make the appropriate adjustments based on their own biohacks to figure out what in effect they have to do to protect themselves."

Deuterium, Vitamin D, LDL cholesterol, UVB bulb, Finsen
Mike Maher: "What is your thoughts on vitamin D as a supplement? Obviously we know natural light is the best thing to do. If someone's […] stuck at the wrong latitude, […] they can't get out much, what are your thoughts on the average person taking vitamin D (if they can remove the vegetable oil aspect of it)?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan at all, and the reason why it's not just the vegetable oils; it's actually the deuterium content. Many people don't even know that this is an issue in supplements, drugs, and foods. That's the real reason why processed foods and drugs and supplements are a problem for people, it's because the deuterium level is really high. […]
"Now, I will tell you, are there people that I use vitamin D supplements on? Yeah, like some of the people that we just talked about. This is where context matters. If you're really sick, have multiple autoimmune conditions and things like that, I may do that before I convince you to get on a Virgin plane to go to the Canary Islands or to go down to Crete or Malta.
"And the reason for that, […] when people take vitamin D pills, what does that do? It raises their LDL cholesterol. So guess what? If […] you're giving something to raise their LDL cholesterol, remember, it changes the lipid profile completely in the body. When you get your vitamin D through the skin, the way you're supposed to do it, that doesn't happen.
"So the better choice for the bloke who's got no money is to go to the pet store and buy a UVB and UVA bulb that they use for reptiles and start treating yourself like a reptile. Why? Because it turns out the UVA story is big for the nitric oxide side. To make the vitamin D, the UVB is an important part. […]
"Go to a pet store, buy the bulb for, I don't know, 20 euro. Use that 20 minutes, three or four times a day. That's a way better choice. Obviously, with a bulb you have to be mindful to protect your eyes, and it's going to be really hard to do a bulb to get your whole body connected."

Censoring science
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I look at everything in quantum biology, light, water, magnetism, it's all in infancy. […] Light has all the energy and information of the universe buried in it; the problem is you have to extract it. Turns out magnetism is one of the ways to do it, and you know the crazy secret sauce was hidden in Maxwell's equations. I told him the story about Oliver Heaviside.
"Most people don't know the history. This is why I've been on this big kick about teaching you about history. What I usually say is you have to either trust the government or know your history. Well it turns out in science is the same way. You have to trust your science teacher or know the history of science to know why there's a problem. […]
"When Maxwell did everything, he actually found 22 equations for electromagnetism, and it was shrunk down to four. So it turns out a guy in the '30s comes up with an idea about a magnetic monopole and his name is Paul Dirac. And Dirac said, 'Look, I think that the mathematics clearly says that a magnetic monopole is interesting.' Whose science is this tied to? It actually ties to Tesla and unending source of zero-point energy.
"Again this has been buried. The reason it's buried is because I think we shrunk from 22 to four equations and I think Dirac was the one guy in the '30s that said it. And then I don't know if you listen to a16z's Andreessen. Marc Andreessen just said literally a couple days ago that when he was talking to the government, the Biden Administration, about AI that he says, 'Look, we're going to do the same thing we did with physics. We stopped physics by removing you know information in the 1950s after the war.'
"So what are they basically telling us? That there's a way for them to centralize just about any process. And what do they do? They use censorship by removing some of the key points, and scientists need to understand this process. So people like Pollack, Philpot, Nick Lane, you continue to ask those questions because guess what? You will generate data. And instead of just publishing it, because they can censor it there, you come on a podcast like this and tell the world. Now they may pull it from YouTube but then you put it on Rumble or you put it directly on X, and you let the people hear what you have to say. Why? Because you shouldn't be afraid of telling people what the data shows. Because that's actually how we really improve science. But it's also how we slay sacred cows.
"It's how we get rid of cholesterol nonsense, it's how we get rid of you know SSRIs, it's how we get rid of psychiatry, it's also how we get rid of pediatricians who think it's wise to inject kids with vaccines. The only way we do that is we have to have a process built into the system to challenge the status quo.
"And that to me is the real key about decentralizing science and medicine. I'm trying to actually help build that. I feel like I'm the guy with this big Rockefeller big pharma boulder, and I know that if my lever is big enough, like Archimedes said, I can get that boulder to the move."

Methemoglobin, inaccurate O₂ saturation rate measurement
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I've said this on many podcasts. It's not too controversial in the United States; it might be controversial in Europe. The reason why we killed so many people in hospitals is because we put a breathing tube down their throat during covid. And what's the problem? The problem is the FiO₂ that we're giving people is much higher than you would normally get. And when it's too high what do you do? You create the ROS and what does that do? It creates organ damage in other places.
[…]
"When I unretired and went back into the hospitals to teach doctors how not to kill people with endotracheal tubes, this was the lesson that I actually used. I actually showed them how to do this without harming people, because most people don't need a breathing tube when they had covid. Why? Even when their sat rates came down, because that little thing that everybody has probably seen when people go into the hospital called the O₂ saturation rate, it's not accurate when you have methemoglobin present in you. Most people that had covid did have methemoglobin.
"So if you're using a tool that doesn't measure accurately, like when somebody is 86, 87% the doctor is trained from medical school and residency, 'Oh, we need to do something for their breathing because they can't breathe well.' What did they default to? The first thing they did is they put oxygen masks on or nasal cannulas. And what did I just tell you?
"Your body has amazing wisdom in it. Get out of its way and let it do its own thing. You don't need to do any shit to create a problem.
"Unfortunately many people do that. […] Just think about the functional medicine doctors (or what I would call the holistic doctors) that tell you, 'Hey, let's use ozone or let's use hyperbaric oxygen therapy.' Think about what I just told you about this situation. Do you think that's really good if you don't have an idea of what's really going on at the mitochondrial level and how fast that ATPase spinning?"

Swedish study, more sun, live longer, smoking
Kaitlyn Menere: "In terms of growing up in Australia slip, slop, slap, like protecting us from the sun, stay out of the UV, you have to put a hat on, you have to put sunscreen on, you have to get in the shade. Do you think that that's actually contributing to a lot of disease in Australia that we have now?"
Max Gulhane, MD: "I think it is, and that in itself is a controversial statement. I'll break it down for everyone. So what we've learnt over the past probably 10 years, from a variety of different angles, is that people who get more sunlight live longer. There were two pivotal studies that really displayed this. The first one was in Sweden. They took a cohort of about 25,000 Swedish women in Sweden and they asked them questions about their sunlight exposure. […] Do you sunbathe in summer? Do you sunbathe in winter? Do you use tanning beds? Do you travel overseas to sunbathing holidays? They followed them up over two and a half decades. […] Their hypothesis, because it was called the melanoma in southern Sweden study, was that the women that sunbathe the most, that went to the tanning salons the most, would get more melanoma and die more frequently.
"So they were actually correct on the first part, but not on the second. What they found was that the women who got the most sun exposure, they actually died the least, that their risk of death of all-cause mortality was the lowest. And there was a dose response, meaning the women who got an intermediate amount of sun exposure died a little bit more often, and those that avoided the sun had the greatest risk of death. […]
"They also discussed smoking habits. The analysis of the data showed that the women who avoided the sun and didn't smoke had the same mortality as those that got in the sun and smoked. That demonstrated that sun avoidance was a risk factor for all-cause death on par with smoking in this Swedish cohort.
[…]
"The reasons why they found the people were living longer was because they were dying less of the really big killers in society. The biggest killers in society are heart disease and stroke. So these are vascular problems, these are problems of blood clotting. They kill more people, no matter what country in the world, than skin cancers.
"If you plot death by years of potential life loss, […] if you look at the curve for Australia, the conditions that are responsible for the most life lost are, by long way, ischemic heart disease, heart attack. And then you go down you've got […] (not necessarily in this order, but roughly), you've got stroke, you've got neurogenerative diseases like dementias, you've got lung cancers, you've got breast, colon cancers, you've got prostate cancers. […] All the way down at something like number 13 is skin cancers including malignant melanoma.
"What I'm trying to convey is that there's an order of concern that we should have on a population level of what diseases are killing people. And if we can change our lifestyles to prevent certain deaths then we should be looking at the biggest pictures and the biggest fish to address. And what Pelle Lindqvist and his team found in Sweden, and that was later backed up by a dermatologist called Richard Weller in a UK analysis, was that sunlight exposure and the more people got, the less they were dying of these bigger ticket causes.
"So it wasn't to say that skin cancer wasn't a problem. Like I mentioned, the women that got more sunlight in the Sweden study did get more melanoma. But they were protected from death even in the ones that got the melanoma. And the mortality of the women who got skin cancers was significantly lower in the ones that got more sunlight. So even conditional upon getting skin cancer, you were still protected if you got more sunlight exposure compared to if you avoided sunlight exposure."

Disease, mitochondria, sunlight, complete darkness, melatonin
Max Gulhane, MD: "Disease today is overwhelmingly a result of this mitochondrial inefficiency or lack of mitochondria being healthy. That was the innovation of Dr. Wallace's work, which is only a tiny fraction, probably less than 10% (or even less than 5%) of diseases are related to nuclear genetic problems, meaning that mitochondrial problems, and therefore environmental choices, are the most important thing for whether we get sick or not.
"Another way of thinking about this is what I tell my patients: genetics loads the gun but your environment and your lifestyle pulls the trigger and determines whether or not you're going to get sick. That's empowering because it means that no matter what your family history is, if you make the right choices with respect to the light you see, with respect to the food you eat, with respect to where you live, the water you drink, then you can move the needle. It's not a foregone conclusion that you're going to get diabetes, that you're going to get heart disease.
"So that was the innovation of Dr. Wallace, and that's how I think about disease. Because we need to keep these mitochondria happy. The things that make mitochondria unhappy are related to 'innovations' in technology in our modern environment, whether they are indoor artificial lighting, whether they're non-native electromagnetic fields being emitted by devices of convenience like smartphones or Wi-Fi routers, whether it's food of convenience, which is refined grains that have contaminated with glyphosate residue, or coconuts shipped in from the equator down in Tazzy and Melbourne. All these environmental choices are going to influence whether or not our mitochondria are happy and therefore how sick or not we get.
"The way that sunlight really plugs into this story is that it dictates the circadian rhythm, which is the body's response to the light dark cycle. The light dark cycle is what all life on earth evolved over these billion years. If we respect it then the mitochondrial colony recovers overnight. It recovers overnight because this very important hormone called melatonin gets made in the brain, in the pineal gland. But it only gets made if there's no light in our environment.
"The sunlight also stimulates this melatonin hormone on site in the mitochondria during the day in response to near infrared light, which gets reflected from the greenery around us, because natural sunlight is so rich in near infrared photons.
"So the role of sunlight in optimal health is to provide us with this yin and yang situation that if we respect we get become optimally healthy, and if we disrespect we get sick. Another way to think about the yin and yang is the light and the dark is perfectly balanced, and that reflects the equal importance of both full-spectrum sunlight during the day and complete darkness (or just moonlight) during the night.
"We can mess with our circadian health in a couple of ways. One, if we get inadequate full-spectrum sunlight during the day, and/or if we get too much artificial light at night. You can be in light outside during the day, but if you also have your nighttime lit up with computer monitors and overhead LED lighting then you're not going to make melatonin. You're not going to allow that mitochondria to repair themselves properly.
"Similarly, if you go to sleep on time, you don't have a lot of artificial light but you're indoors all day, you're going to become vitamin D deficient. You're going to become near infrared light deficient. You're not going to make those really important hormones and photo products.
"At a high level that is how I think about sunlight and its effect on disease."

Mistakes
Dr. Jack Kruse: "This may shock you when I say it. I'm going to tell you there's a huge benefit to covid. At least 50% of the world got punched in the mouth and now has blood on their lip and they're going, 'You know, if we didn't listen to this Fauci guy, or Collins guy, or any of the people in the CDC, we probably wouldn't have been led down this path.' And you know what?
"I always tell my members this, that a mistake is never a mistake if you learn the lesson from it. So here's the take home for me.
"If we learn the lesson from covid, especially physicians, and we never allow medical tyranny to happen again, whether it's in your country, my country, or a new country that we decide to go practice in, or even the country that is social media, and we teach people that you need to have an open mind. I mean there's a point where skepticism even becomes a problem. But you need to always have an open mind. I always tell people, it's the mark of an educated mind to take something you fundamentally don't believe, examine it for yourself, and then decide with your own due diligence, your own proof of work, whether it has merit or it doesn't. It's a meritocracy. Proof of work systems are based on meritocracy. That's true in photosynthesis, it's true in mitochondrial respiration, and it's certainly true in the bitcoin algorithm."

Mike Maher: "Are you familiar with heart coherence breathing? What are your thoughts on those sort of techniques?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] Anything that is not quantized to the environment you're in I'm going to have a problem with, but anything that is is great. When you talk about that type of breathing technique, if it gets you into an alpha rhythm or a delta rhythm, those things are going to be good. But remember when we meditate, this is what people don't really understand, you're actually switching from using the TCA cycle, which is where we make the most energy, where the F₀ head spins the most, that's 9,000 protons going through it. That's actually when you need the most oxygen.
"When you're in a relaxed state or a pre-sleep state or a meditative state your ATPase goes slower, so the breathing technique also needs to go slower. But the interesting part of that that people don't realize that's when you actually shift into a more hypoxic pathway, what we like to call aerobic glycolysis, which at least in Europe, in the United States, goes by another name that's more famous called the Warburg shift. And the Warburg shift gets a bad rep from the food gurus in the United States and the biochemists in the United States; I don't know how it is over in Europe.
"But most people don't get told that there's tissues in you that normally use a Warburg metabolism when you're alive and awake. What are those areas? the fovea of the eye, which is where central vision comes from, and also your gonads, that's in women's ovaries and in your balls. And the reason why is any place that has to make cells very very quickly tends to use a Warburg metabolism. And the reason why is glucose metabolism through a Warburg shift occurs about a 100× faster than it would if you use another pathway, and that's kind of important.
"The downside of that is it creates more reactive oxygen species which obviously isn't good. So that's why the human brain when it gets Warburg shifted, say when you're looking at a cell phone too long or you're looking at a screen too long, your brain begins to use lactate. And lactate is chosen for one reason and one reason only: because it decreases the ROS.
"When I say ROS to a guy like you that talks about breathing. you know this may blow your mind but this is the reason why many of the people who talk about breathing don't know shit about metabolism, because ROS is a function of how you breathe. So remember the more you breathe the more ROS you make, and that's a problem."

When Oxygen Harms
Jonathan Jarecki: "Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in these oxygen chambers. Is that something that you would suggest someone to use, prescribe someone to use?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "No, it's just like methylene blue. The reason why, what's a terminal electron acceptor for mitochondria? Oxygen. […] Let's use a simple idea. Let's use somebody with CPAP, somebody who's got sleep apnea. When you understand that your colony of mitochondria (from Doug Wallace's work) can go from really, really healthy to really, really bad, that name is heteroplasmy. Do you think it's a good idea to take a bunch of sick engines and throw a ton of oxygen at it? The answer is no, because what does it do? It creates nothing but magnetic chemicals called free radicals. So guess what? Those free radicals then sculpt tissues differently.
"Do we have proof that Uncle Jack may be right about this? Ask any ICU doctor what happens when you give people high FIO₂ through an endotracheal tube. They get a disease called ARDS. In fact, that's how Tony Fauci created an algorithm for us to kill a lot of people in covid in hospitals. OK? And that's what ARDS is.
"So when somebody has high heteroplasmy and some idiot in functional medicine or allopathic medicine say it's a good idea for you to use hyperbaric oxygen, realize it's not.
"Same thing is true with ozone. The doctor who is prescribing it needs to understand these relationships, because it turns out the stochastic chemistry of how much oxygen we need is linked to the heteroplasmy rate in there. When you put too much oxygen in, what are you doing? You change the light signal that comes out of the mitochondria, and that creates free radicals."

cms.gov incentivized hospital homicides
John Beaudoin, Sr: "I mentioned acute renal failure to you, sudden kidney failure. That's the biggest signal by far that everybody's missing. If anybody goes to my Substack you can read it. I've been talking about this 2.5 years. […] It's 150× more than myocarditis, 150×. More than 211,000 excess, more than normal, that's excess acute renal failure deaths in the last four years. 211,000. And considering how young they were, it goes down into the teens. They're killing people left and right.
"Half of it is from hospital homicides, the other half is from the vaccine. There are two separate signals. One is seasonal, the other is linearly increasing and then saturates at a high point and becomes steady state above normal. […] Being an engineer and looking at waveforms, I was able to disambiguate and separate two separate and distinct signals caused by two completely different things. Had to be.
"And one of them is coincident with just after November 2, 2020. So it started before the vaccine, in late November early December, that's acute renal failure. So why would that be?
"Well if you go to cms.gov (and you could just type into the search bar 'CMS NCTAP,' that's New COVID-19 Treatments Add-On Payment plan), if you scroll down to the bottom you look for a November 2 date. November 2, 2020 is not when remdesivir was approved; it's when it was incentivized with a 20% adder to the entire hospital bill.
"So if you go in there and you test positive for covid, even if you got 95% oxygen with 15 breaths per minute, completely normal, they'll try to throw you on remdesivir. Why? Because every bit of that hospital bill goes up by 20% just for running remdesivir through your veins, whether you need it or not. And if they can get you into the ICU and they can get you on a ventilator, and that hospital bill gets jacked to a million dollars for a month's stay, now they're getting an extra $200,000 because on admission they put you on remdesivir.
"The pay plan defines the behavior. […] And when they came up with the cms.gov NCTAP pay plan, the behavior changed in hospitals to make sure that they got as much money as they could, whether they killed a patient or not.
"Now the individuals who did so may not have known what they were doing and therefore it's not a crime. They don't have the mens rea, they don't have the criminal mind, of which there's purposeful, knowing, reckless, and negligent, four different levels of a mental state for crime and for tort lawsuits.
"The people who put the plan together damn well knew what they were doing. That's the NIAID under Fauci."

Doc Malik: "Can you do me a favor. Can you now talk about water."
[…]
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Make it simple. Apple and Microsoft. What water does is allow Apple to talk to Microsoft. So what is it? It's a transformer. In other words it allows disparate systems to talk to each other. So for example, it allows light to talk to magnetism. It allows light to talk to sound. It allows light to communicate with smell.
"Water is an electromagnetic capacitor of light. That's what it does. It buries light. What's the proof in the pudding? One thing that everybody who's a doctor learns in basic physics to get to medical school is water has huge specific heat capacity. What does that mean? We can put huge amounts of energy into it and it takes forever to raise water a degree of temperature. That ultimately should have told everybody that that's one of water's superpowers.
"Now the other superpower, what makes water not just a transformer, water changes its physical structure when light hits it. That's a really interesting change of events. Like most people who go through regular life and medical school and are doctors always believe that water is H₂O. Turns out in us that's not true. Metabolic water that's made into mitochondria is deuterium depleted and it has a completely different crystalline structure. That crystalline structure is there because there's no deuterium in the water.
"But the water we drink, you know the water behind me right now in the Pacific Ocean, that water has 155 parts of deuterium in it per million. In us, our mitochondria, it's zero. In our blood, our blood mimics what's in the ocean, it's 155 parts. The blood's reason for that is different than what's going on in the mitochondria, it has to do with the physics. And water, because it changes its ability, what's the main reason water does this from a physics standpoint?
"Water changes its hydrogen bonding network so that it can absorb more light. How does it do it? When hydrogen bonds change it allows more electrons to show up. […] Water has coherent domains. When water becomes quantum coherent it's because light has hit it. That means that that water has more electrons in it. Who should you immediately think of after that? Einstein. Why? He won his Nobel prize for the photoelectric effect: you cannot absorb light without electrons. That's axiomatically true.
"So when light hits water, what is water doing? It's creating more electrons so that you can absorb more light, hence the reason why it's an electromagnetic capacitor. OK? One story builds upon the other.
"So once you understand those three effects of water, then you need to realize what else do you know as an orthopedic surgeon about water that's special? Every time you hang an IV fluid, probably the most common IV fluid you hang is sodium chloride 0.9% solution, just like I do. Have you ever asked the question, 'Why do we use sodium chloride? Why is sodium such a big part of the extracellular matrix?'
"Well it turns out sodium chloride allows water to absorb more UV light. So what does that tell you? OK, wait a minute. Now the cell has a mechanism in it via water to absorb more UV light, not, not, NOT the same story that dermatologist and ophthalmologist told you, that the sun is toxic and you should stay fucking out of it. Actually biology is telling you something radically different, that because we use sodium chloride, that salt allows you to absorb more UV light in the blood. And you know that blood is 93% water, that's when you start to ask a question, 'What else fucking wasn't I told?'"

Sherrill Sellman, ND: "The role of blue light. The light that is emitted from the screens, the LEDs that light up our city, the car lights are now LEDs, they're white light, they're blue light frequency, and it's role to dopamine. When you are exposed to all these lights because you live an indoor life, you are affecting and lowering this neurohormone called dopamine, which makes you vulnerable to being addicted […] let's talk about that."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "The easiest way to understand this one, because this one has a good analogy that I think everybody has experienced in their life. Go to a casino. Have you ever asked yourself why there's no windows in a casino? Have you ever asked yourself why every one-armed bandit has blue light? Have you ever wondered why there's certain lights in a casino? Well it's pretty simple. What do they do? They have learned, almost for sixty to seventy years, that when you have a casino that puts people in artificial light, their dopamine level goes down lower and the casino makes more money. If you add free alcohol on top of that and then you give them low-priced food that's exactly what happens. They don't want you to leave. So they give you the things that you need that lower your dopamine level even further so that you'll separate you from your dollar. And that's probably the best lesson that anybody needs to know about dopamine and blue light.
"The more blue light you live around the poorer decision-making you'll make. And for those of you listening to this you've probably heard about the link to food and addiction. That's kind of where obesity comes from. Yes, I'm telling you blue light is the number one cause of obesity. But I'm also gonna tell you it's also the number one cause of people being addicted to opiates.
"So I want you to think classically the people who are addicted to opiates. Let's just use the most common sense one. Rock stars, and they tend to die from that. Well, when do rock concerts happen? At night. And do they do acoustics or they use electromagnetic instruments? You think about the guys that have killed themselves recently or remotely, Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain. You see how they have something in common? Blue light and non-native EMF is what they did in their life and they paid a toll. If you look at that industry, that industry has a serial problem with opiate addiction. Well guess what? It's fueled by this dopamine problem because their job requires them to do certain things. So I would tell you casinos and probably rock stars explain the dopamine, blue light, non-native EMF connection."

Grounding, volcanoes, deserts, waterfalls
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I'll tell you why grounding is important biophysically. We are the only silly talking primate that has eccrine sweat glands on our feet and hands. The reason why we have them and other primates don't is because they live in trees but we're designed to be bipedal crossing the tectonic plates.
"Anytime you have sweat gland on your feet it allows for a better connection. Remember, I told you the story about the sun being a cathode ray, the planet's an anode. Anytime a cathode ray hits an anode, what happens? Free electrons are given off at the surface. That's how sophisticated biology is. So grounding has a huge effect. […]
"The effect of grounding is much different in a volcanic area than it is in a nonvolcanic area. Here in El Salvador, a couple weeks ago […] we had a huge lightning storm. The lightning here never hits the lava tubes or the black sand beach. Do you know the reason why? Because the volcano puts so many net negative charges in the stone and in the sand, it hits the water [instead].
"Where you live it tends to always hit the land. This is an electrical phenomenon and it has to do with the charge that comes from the magnetosphere, the aurora. Because remember, at this latitude there is no aurora. The electrical discharge is the lightning. But where the lightning hits tells you that this place is a better place to ground than say Glasgow, because Glasgow is not volcanic. There you have to go even further north to really get the aurora. But the aurora effect is in most of Norway, most of Sweden, most of Finland and all of Iceland, and that effect is real.
"I will tell you that the grounding effect in places that have huge net negative charge, that means it's not a geopathic stress zone. […] You live in a desert, like Sydney is a desert. OK? All of Australia is a desert in the ocean. It's a terrible place to ground for that reason. Sedona in Arizona, the whole Sonoran desert, terrible. Saharan desert, terrible. It's a geopathic stress zone, hence the reason why things don't live there. Scale this to a bigger idea. This is the reason why Mars is a dead red planet because it's a giant desert. It has no magnetic field.
"See, any place that has a magnetic field is going to have a lot of net negative charge in its rocks. This is a place that living things want to be. So if I showed you the lava tube that's right up here to my right, it is covered with trees, it's covered with photosynthetic life everywhere that's creating oxygen. When you go walk on the beach here with your feet in the ground, you're getting huge amounts of free electrons, and that formed the basis of my leptin prescription. Why? Because what did I tell you food was in the beginning? It's an electromagnetic barcode. We break food down to electrons and protons. If you're able to get more free electrons from the eccrine sweat glands from grounding that means the less food you'll eat.
"The corollary to that is if you go to a waterfall you have something called the Lenard effect. When water falls into a pool, doesn't matter where it is, it creates something called the Lenard effect, and in the air that's above the waterfall you have net negative ions. It's equivalent to the sodium chloride things that we put in people's vents when they're in the ICU. It's exactly the same effect. This is the reason why humans are drawn to waterfalls. When you put all these together, remember in volcanic places what do they always have? Waterfalls."

Sampling another person
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Oxygen is the only paramagnetic gas on the periodic table. So why don't you take a guess why life got complex using oxygen? Because it turned out that the spinning F₀ head on the mitochondria, which the country that you live in, that guy Michael Faraday in the 1850s said when you put an electric current into something that spins you induce a magnetic field. Now when I was in medical school we couldn't prove this. But now we have MEG machines that we can prove there's a magnetosphere any place we have mitochondria, so that's in humans our brain and our heart. The one in our heart can be measured 22 feet outside of our heart. So that magnetic field is coming from the spinning F₀ head as electron chain transport operates. What is the ultimate effect of that? That magnetic field is what draws oxygen to it. I guarantee you you never learned that physiology but it's actually true." […]
Doc Malik: "I want to ask you something. This sounds a bit weird and call me a quack. When I'm in person with people, I love face-to-face meetings, because I genuinely get, I like to look people in the eye and judge them and feel them and I feel their energy. I can feel when someone's negative, I can feel when someone's like just toxic, I can feel when someone's warm. Is this the kind of energy that we're talking about or is this something completely doolally that I'm on about?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well no, that's one of the energies. There's another energy that if you've never read the book by Roeland van Wijk it's called Life Sculpting Life. A biophysicist in the 1960s named Fritz Popp proved that every single cell releases ultraweak UV biophotons. The real feeling that you capture when you talk to people, you're actually sampling their extreme low frequency UV light.
"You're also picking up their magnetic footprint. I don't want you to think you're not, because it's really operational during sex. That's part of the reason why we tend to be so close together. You want that other person in your field because you're sampling the energy. Remember, UV light and magnetism, they're both light. The only difference with magnetism it's the electric field removed and the magnetic field present. They're orthogonal to each other, 90 degree angles. But biology uses magnetic fields in many different ways."
