The problems with epidemiology. You just can't peanut butter everything into a normal distribution John Beaudoin: "They try to put everything in a unimodal, uh, one mode. Everybody knows what a bell curve is, right? One mode. So the way I explain part of the problems with epidemiologists is they talk about p-values and confidence intervals. It's all based on a bell curve and a normal distribution. "Male cancers I use as an example. Right? Testicular cancer, mean age is 30. You get it from like 18 to 40. You're not going to get it after 40. That's testicular. "Prostate cancer, you're not going to even look at it until 50, and even then it's very few. It goes up with age. "You have two different modes [holds up both hands], a mean of 30 [holds up only left hand] and a mean of, say, 70 [holds up right hand]. And in between there, 40 to 50, there's a very low probability you're going to have either one. But if you take all the data, you throw it in a pool and you say, 'Give me the mean,' which is generally the most likely that is going to occur, and say, 'Oh, it's 50. Male cancer is 50.' Like, no, that's very low probability of either one because you've got a bimodal distribution [holds up both hands]. "These are the problems with epidemiology, where they don't look at confounding variables, they don't look at multiple things like that, and probability distribution functions. You just can't peanut butter everything into a normal distribution. It's wrong."

You're supposed to be out in nature. A/C is a problem Dr. Jack Kruse: "Cold also has another effect. Remember I told you about Becker's work that we worked via semiconduction. Most people don't understand this. […] Semiconductive currents work with cold better. So, this is the reason why when your iPhone gets the temperature warning, when you put it on the hood of your Mercedes-Benz, you put it right in the freezer and it works right away. "You actually work the same way. You don't understand this because you say, 'But Jack, when I'm in the cold, you know, I have to put a jacket on this and that.' Well, if you remember Darwin's trip on the Beagle, he found the people at Tierra del Fuego naked outside in temperatures that he couldn't believe, and they were able to do it. They're they're the last wild people that were on the planet in the 1850s and 1860s. "So, we have the belief that you can't do that. Like, for example, where you live in London, you know, I'd go there in sometimes July and see people walking around in down jackets, which is a joke because you're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to be out in nature. "The corollary to that is the United States, you probably have seen when you go there, we have fucking A/C on everywhere. A/C is a problem. Why? What controls circadian biology? Light, dark, and temperature. So guess what? Nature is telegraphing you. These three metrics are really important for you to understand."

Functional medicine doctors bankrupt people with useless tests. Ordering a test and not knowing what it means. They want to keep testing you Dr. Jack Kruse: "Functional medicine doctors are the biggest criminals in medicine. They're bigger than the allopathic doctors. Why? Because they bankrupt people using all these useless tests. And guess what? If you sit them down and say, 'OK, let's have a discussion about the GOE and how myelin and microtubules fit,' they're going to be like, 'Bidee, bidee, bidee, That's all, Folks!' In other words, they have no earthly idea, Doug, how this works. So think about it. Why would you ever give somebody the power to order hundreds of thousands of dollars of tests on you? "In fact, I did a consult right before you this morning where a lady spent tons of money, never got any answers. She's got a pretty significant problem. And when I told her what the issue was, she was stunned. "Yesterday, I had an in-person consult, first one. His main problem, literally we solved in five minutes, but what was the problem? Again, a testing problem: that the doctor ordered a test and had no earthly idea what the test meant. And then he got pushed in the centralized care path, you know, to get on interferon and this and that, when if he had a doctor that really understood what was going on, literally you could change the mix. "And here's the irony that happened in this consult, why I'm telling you this. I had Jeremy Franco here who works for me here in El Salvador. His sister's a doctor in Guatemala. We called his sister up during the consult while he was sitting here. I said, 'Is this available in Guatemala or El Salvador to get this test done?' Because it's something that I don't normally do. "And she goes, 'Yeah.' And she goes, 'Not only that, we have the cure for this problem to make it go completely away.' And I looked at him and I said, 'Do you understand now why functional medicine failed you?' "And he goes, 'Why didn't they tell me this?' I said, 'Because they want to keep testing you.' I want to keep selling you supplements. They want to keep telling you, like Thomas Seyfried does, 'Oh, if you have cancer or you have a premalignant condition, just eat a ketogenic diet.' "But they never tell you that AM sunlight is the key to the ketogenic diet. Because you can't use a TCA cycle if you're eating fat. That's the kind of stuff that I think is really important. And I like teaching this stuff because I think it's so rudimentary and so basic." Dr. Jack Kruse with Doug Sandquist, DDS @ 33:09–35:27 (posted 2025-07-25)

Breathing exercises should be something everybody does with apnea when they're kids Dr. Jack Kruse: "People begin to realize that some of the stuff, like Erwin Le Corre teaches people about breathing. Breathing exercises should be something everybody does with apnea when they're kids. Like you got a malocclusion, You should be doing apnea-level exercises for your kids. "Instead of taking your kids, I don't know, to soccer practice to get a stupid trophy, how about you do something that's worthwhile so you can save them from either a lifelong apnea or cardiac risk or, you know, $10,000 worth of dental work? […] "The science is on your side. Like evolutionary biology, the GOE. […] "And then you start to see our modern epidemics in not only in dentistry, but in medicine, there's a lot of tie-in. Like they're cross-linked, and you begin to see why people are having problems. And then when you put the technology and the cell phones in front of these kids, but what's just happening, you're actually making this worse."

If you don't get in the sun your teeth are going to fall apart. Dentin can be regenerated Dr. Jack Kruse: "We're all taught that dental decay is a function of carbohydrates. That's a half truth. The real truth is if you don't get in the sun, your teeth are going to fall apart. The thing is, when's the last time any dentist ever told a parent the real reason your kid's teeth are falling apart? Yeah, putting the bottle in their mouth is a bad thing, but why is your kids vitamin D level nine? "And you know what you'll be amazed to find if you're a dentist? Go and look at all these new dentitions that don't have anything but sealants in it, and then check their vitamin D level. You might be shocked to find out that people that have the best teeth have also the highest levels of vitamin D. What does it tell you? Remember, your teeth are basically neuroectodermal-derived things. Vitamin D controls the neuroectoderm. "So does vitamin A. Vitamin A is the blue light part of the story, and vitamin D is the UV violet part. How about you get people out? Dentin really responds to the near infrared and red. That's the reason why those red lasers show that dentin can be regenerated. "Well, if you got into a pulp chamber, don't you think it would be nice to have a special red laser light there instead of using Ketac cement, or whatever the hell you guys do now, or send it to the endodontist to pull the nerve out. I mean, what does Becker say about pulling the nerve out? You got no DC electric current in the tooth. Is that, you got any chance for regeneration? Doug Sandquist: "No." Dr. Jack Kruse: "What does that do to trigeminal signaling, you know, in the mandibular division? We don't know, but I guarantee it's UPEs."

It would destroy the CPAP industry. When you give a broken mitochondria more oxygen, you're killing people Doug Sandquist, DDS: "So I had another question from your, was it Jikomes, the GOE podcast, that was revolutionary for me. But so the idea between Fe at +2 and Fe at +3, so methemoglobin, right? So in researching that, normal humans have 1 to 2% methemoglobin normally, right? And then up to 10% can be imperceptible. Like, the human won't know that they have methemoglobinemia, right?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Most people don't know." Doug Sandquist, DDS: "Yeah. So if we're doing a sleep study, or we're doing a sleep screen, or somebody's sticking a pulse ox on their finger, a regular pulse ox on their finger, and it says they're at 89. And so you now determine they're hypoxic. And you have not checked their methemoglobin." Dr. Jack Kruse: "You've committed malpractice." Doug Sandquist, DDS: "So why don't sleep centers or sleep screens use CO-oxymeters? I know they're $1,000, but they're not. . ." Dr. Jack Kruse: "May I tell you why?" Doug Sandquist, DDS: "I know the answer, but go ahead." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Incentives dictate outcomes." Doug Sandquist, DDS: "Yeah." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Do they really want to solve the problem?" Doug Sandquist, DDS: "It would crush, it would destroy the CPAP industry, right? I mean, that's really it." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Guess what? The CPAP industry has been based on all the stuff that you used to believe that, 'Oh, it's a lack of oxygen.'" Doug Sandquist, DDS: "Right." Dr. Jack Kruse: "No, it's a broken mitochondria.

Ninth Circuit Ruling: no need to prove it will be good for your health, no bodily autonomy anymore Viva Frei: "All right now the other case which was also one that I know you don't like. This was a bad vax decision which. . ." Robert Barnes: "Oh, it was horrendous." Viva Frei: "Yeah, again another case where if you don't know the answer already you might get misled by some reporting. It did not it basically it ratified Jacobson by stating that. . ." Robert Barnes: "It went further than Jacobson." Viva Frei: ". . . that you didn't even need to know that it was actually safe and effective, effectively, but you need to you need to have had good reason to think at the time that it would save. . ." Robert Barnes: "That it would just be 'good.' That's it. This was the vaccine mandate LA County imposed, went up to the Ninth Circuit. Ninth Circuit originally ruled that they effectively established a factual basis that if this wasn't in fact a vaccine even under Jacobson, then they have a right to prove that, and should go to trial, should go to discovery. The whole en banc Ninth Circuit grab the case. They almost never grab cases, and yet en banc circuit grabs the case. Why do they grab it? "First say it's not moot, even though there's no vaccine mandate currently pending, which in every other context they scream is moot when they when they want to escape judgment. And then they said as long as that you can be forced to take a vaccine, as long as the politician at the time thought it might be beneficial to public health, even if it's not a vaccine, it's not safe, and it's not effective. "I mean they took Jacobson to the most extreme eugenics determination that it could go, Janet Jacobson being the foundation of the trilogy of infamy of American law. Jacobson was the sole case cited for Buck v. Bell that authorized forced sterilizations in America and eugenics in America, the number one favorite case of Adolf Hitler, only had one case to rely on: Buck v. Bell, Jacobson. "And then that those two decisions led to Korematsu, which said in the name of an 'emergency' you could take away every right you have: your right of speech, your right of expression, your right of press, your right of association, your right of religion, your right of self defense, your right to keep your property, your right to your privacy, your right to trial by jury, your right to due process of law, your right to your property. All of it could be taken away, as long as there was an 'emergency' that could justify it, in that case the Japanese detention camps. The report is the one that greenlit that. "Now they've gone further. They've said as long as they have a rational basis, they can force you to take whatever they want you to do, whatever they want to do. That's it. And the rational basis can be, 'We just think it'll be good for your health.' They don't have to prove it will be good for your health, they don't have to be right that it's good for your health, they can just believe it's good for your health. And as long as they believe it's a 'net good' for you, they can take away any right you want. That's what the Ninth Circuit just said. You have no bodily autonomy anymore in America after this decision."

Getting outside during the day and avoid light at night reduces risk of psychiatric disorders "This is a study by Sean Cain, who's an Australian ["Day and night light exposure are associated with psychiatric disorders: an objective light study in >85,000 people" https://doi.org/10.1038/s44220-023-00135-8]. They were looking at the UK statistics. Over 85,000 people, it's a massive, massive study. There's three points here I wanted to get to. This was in their Discussion. "Circadian rhythm disturbance is a common feature of many psychiatric disorders. (I think all psychiatric disorders.) Light is the primary input to the circadian clock, with daytime light strengthening rhythms and night-time light disturbing them. "Greater night-time light exposure was associated with increased risk for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and self-harm behavior. Independent of night-time light exposure, greater daytime light exposure was associated with reduced risk for major depressive disorder, PTSD, psychosis, and self-harm behavior. "Avoiding light at night and seeking light during the day may be a simple and effective, non-pharmacological means of broadly improving mental health. "Again, we're looking at something that's not just affecting one disease process; it's affecting mental health across the board. Just seeking more light, getting outside during the day, and dimming the lights or turning them off at night costs absolutely nothing. It'll probably save you money from electricity. But these are extremely powerful things to do." Cameron Borg @ 17:13–18:38 (posted 2025-01-17)

UPPP. Orthodontists are the most unethical part of dentistry Doug Sandquist, DDS: "The pushback we get in my little sphere is there's a paper in the ENT literature, the UPPP, you know, where they cut out the soft palate. So it's a horrible surgery. It's rarely done anymore. I mean, it really didn't work. But the one thing that the orthodontist will hang their hat on is that, you know, those people who had the UPPP, even though it relapsed, their longevity was longer. In other words, they lived longer." Dr. Jack Kruse: "They also had higher amounts of cancer. You know that, right?" Doug Sandquist, DDS: "No, I don't. Yeah, no. It makes sense. It makes sense, yeah." Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] In my opinion, over my 35 years knowing and being a dentist, orthodontists are the most unethical part of dentistry. I know that's very unpopular to say to a group of dentists, but I fundamentally believe that. Why? "Because I worked with a lot of orthodontists when I was an oral surgeon, and all they are, they are the plastic surgeons of dentistry. And all they care about is aesthetics. They don't care about anything else. And they'll tell you it's about function, but it's really not. They care about what your teeth look like. They don't care if the gums look like that [lifts upper lip to reveal gums]. As long as the teeth below it look pretty, that's all they care about. "When you begin to realize that, you know, they're cherry picking things in the data. The fact that the ENT guys who are incentivized to do this surgery, are no longer doing the surgery, should tell you just how nefarious them hanging their hat on this really is. But see, that's first principle thinking. "Remember, when you introduce money into medical and dental decision making, truth often flies out the window. Why? Because marketing is legalized lying."

The permanence of surgery Dr. Jack Kruse: "But I'd say the same thing to parents. Like when you do a consult with them, you need to actually not only just tell the parents this stuff, Doug, as the dentist, you need to tell the kids, say, 'Look, you're not in a position of power here. You're like a prisoner in jail. This is actually people doing something to you.' "Like if you want to really scale this and be controversial, this is almost like the decision that people make with circumcision. Kids have no informed consent on this. It's really tied to the parent. "And if you really think about it, like if you really want to get circumcised for whatever reason, whether it's religious or not, don't you think it would be smarter for somebody to make that decision, say when they can go to war, when they can be drafted? Like even then, I think that's crazy because we won't let kids rent hotel rooms and rent a car until they're 25, when they're fully myelinated, which comes back to this story that we started with. We have rules in place for kids that are better able to make decisions when they're fully myelinated. But don't you find it ironic that we can draft people at 18 and we can put them in student loan debt at that time because they really don't understand? "Well, aren't we doing the same thing with sleep apnea? Aren't we doing the same thing with scoliosis? Aren't we doing the same thing with dentition? And aren't we doing the same thing with circumcision? "My point to people as we are, and I think when we have children that are born with malocclusions, parents need to know that you likely were the cause from the transgenerational epigenetic thing. And I understand from what we're seeing with COVID now that people don't wanna talk about the root cause problem. "But if you can fix these kids without fancy expensive procedures, why in the hell wouldn't you try that first? To me, it makes no sense for you to put your kid under the scalpel for something that may be able to fix. I think early diagnosis by the general dentist, because remember, you're the guys that see these kids before the oral surgeons and before the orthodontist. You actually are the best gatekeepers to really make these recommendations. […] "I remember all the things that I was taught in dental school and most of it was hogwash, especially around oral biology, and how dentin really works in a tooth and how enamel really works. There are so many other things that are available to people. I mean, we now know that we can use laser therapy to regenerate teeth. Why aren't we doing that? Why isn't that standard of care?"

Get outside, the one thing at the core of your physiology Logan Duvall: "What kind of solutions do you make sure that you let friends, family, and those that follow you, lead them to follow?" Cameron Borg: "I mean, it's hard to move past just getting outside, because generally when you're outside, you're moving, hopefully you're not wearing sunglasses, and whether you're in the sun, directly or not, it's kind of, when I'm trying to get people to understand this, it's sort of a moot point whether they have their clothes off or not, whether they got their skin in the game or not. Just getting outside, again, it's this 80-20 principle. "You solve so many problems just by opening the door, even opening a window to let some natural light in. And the reality is that solves so many problems as well. So you get so many things for free if you just do that. So if you do that a lot, your sleep is going to be better, for instance, and everyone knows how important sleep is. If you do that, your hunger, your appetite is going to be more well regulated. So you're going to eat at a frequency that suits your energetic needs. "And when you're outside, your mitochondria are capable of making water much more efficiently because that electron can meet oxygen more efficiently in the presence of sunlight to make water. So you're more hydrated when you're outside, even if you're not in direct sunlight. So you get a lot of things for free when you just do that. I think that's what makes outdoors such a beneficial thing. You talk about vitamin and nature and forest bathing, why they have such notable beneficial effects. It's not because you're getting, you know, one thing. It's because that one thing is at the core of your physiology. And if you can address that, everything downstream from there is benefited from that as well. So, depending on who I'm working with, that's really one of the big ones."

Defective midfaces, hypoxia, gummy smiles, put them in the sun, maxillary or mandibular hypoplasia, ear infections Dr. Jack Kruse: "What do we know about people with defective midfaces? We know that the anterior and middle skull base aren't growing. That actually tells you that there's more hypoxia in utero going on at those levels. […] "Like when you see people with a gummy smile, you know by definition these people had a transgenerational in utero problem. These are the people that are gonna have problems down the road. But I'm gonna tell you, they're gonna get different chronic diseases from this hypoxia measure. "The real answer for young parents, as I see it, when the dentist makes this diagnosis, take your kids out of school. Your kids are getting irradiated by Wi-Fi, making you more hypoxic, making less deuterium-depleted water in cytochrome C oxidase. Put them in the sun, because guess what? "They can play catch up. Why do you have to run straight to the orthodontist, you know, to do this? You know why? Because that's what our profession has trained parents to do. That's what they've trained general dentists to do with the orthodontist. When you see a class two or a class three, refer them as fast as possible. No, that's not the answer. […] "How do you put the brakes on the dentist and the orthopedic surgeons that wanna do […] big facial surgeries? Go immediately and get your kid's vitamin D level and find out what it is. Cause that's gonna be a proxy for the level of hypoxia. People don't think about this, but when your vitamin D level is really low, by definition it should tells you at the mitochondrial level you're hypoxic. […] "Vitamin D, the VDR receptors on the inner mitochondrial membrane, it slows electron chain transport down. That should wake you up why the ketosis issue is a big issue. So if you don't have vitamin D as the braking mechanism, do you understand that by definition, you know you got a redox problem. So why wouldn't you put these kids in a better environment to see what the effect of maxillary growth could be in the future? Cause my belief is no one's talking about this. "I think that we can fix a lot of these kids that have hypoplasia in the maxilla or hypoplasia in the mandible. Cause what is that really telling us? Maxilla is V2 distribution. The mandible is V3 distribution. Well, you can correlate that and see if you can get the speed up. And when you understand that the trigeminal nerve is also tied to a branchial arch, you'll start to see, well, that's why these kids have problems with ear infections. That's why these kids have problems with their Eustachian tubes. Like the oral surgeons and the dentist and the ENTs don't really talk to each other about this, but the embryology is all there."

Cells and organs compete with each other, 100,000 mutations per cell in normal skin Michael Levin: "A couple of things. The first thing is that despite our largely genetic homogeneity inside our bodies, cells and organs compete with each other. So for example, during development there's really a strong competition between all kinds of organs. And we have computational models of this, and people and farmers and other scientists have been publishing this stuff for a really long time. There's actually a lot of competition and struggle. The classical biologist Roux called this, he had a long monograph called _The Struggle of Parts_, where he talks about all of the ways that the pieces of an embryo and of an organism are actually fighting each other for all kinds of stuff, even though they have similar genetics. "The other thing I want to talk about is how similar really the genetics are. So in humans, Doug Brash tells me that there are about 100,000 mutations per skin cell in normal skin. This is not cancer, this is normal skin, 100,000 mutations per cell. "And people like I think Walsh at the Harvard Medical School is finding mutations in the brain, in human neurons. Apparently there's a ton of genetic variability and where it really reaches its kind of ultimate expression I think this is one of the most interesting stories. "Planaria are mixoploid. I mean it's a certain species every cell has a different number of chromosomes. The genome is an unbelievable mess. And yet, these are the animals with the most regenerative ability, the cancer resistance, immortal as far as we can tell. It's kind of an amazing scandal that the animal with the best anatomical control, immortality, and regeneration is also the one with the most messy genome, right, in every cell. "This used to drive me completely crazy, this idea. Well first of all, why does nobody talk about this? We never hear about this in a standard biology, a kind of curriculum what they tell you is, 'Well, the genome is what sets your anatomy,' so who would expect the relationship to be backwards? It doesn't make any sense.

People who laugh more live longest, we need hugs, we need to play Cameron Borg: "I had a guy, a client that I worked with a few months ago. He was doing everything right. Like he was doing things way better than me. He was swimming in natural bodies of water every day. He was outside all the time. He was exercising. He was eating like hyperlocal, like everything he was eating was grown in his town, local, local seafood, you name it. He was doing everything right, you know, circuit breaker in the house, like barely had any exposure to electromagnetic fields. And he just wasn't thriving. "I found out that he was living quite far away from his friends and he didn't see them very often. And I said to him, 'Honestly, you're doing things so well. What you're missing is this social dimension of your health. You need to go to a friend's house, have a cards night, watch a comedy show and just laugh and be with people and give them all hugs.' And I think this is something that a lot of people in the health space and neglecting it's sort of this dimension of health that is forgotten about. "And I've been writing an article about that the last few days and just doing the research on the impact of laughter on all-cause mortality is amazing. People who laugh more live longest. I mean, it's just as simple as that. People who have the most physical touch live longer. They have more resistance to disease, all sorts of diseases. People who play, you have to play. It's not an option. It's at the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. You have to play. Kids who don't play enough are significantly more likely to commit crimes, particularly heinous crimes like murder. And we've sort of forgotten that this dimension of health is so important. We need to hug, we need to dance with people, we need to do all of these things. They're just as important as the food we eat. They're just as important as the sunlight. […] "This guy, I only saw him once, cause I'm like, 'You don't need me. You don't need anyone to tell you what to do. You're doing it super well.' And he emailed me like a month later saying, 'Dude, you're right. I'm doing so much better, you know, spending more time with people.' I actually encourage people to sit down and watch comedy shows that they find funny with friends because at times it's more important than, you know, getting the light from the TV or whatever. So this is really a forgotten aspect of health that I'm quite passionate about and not many people are talking about it in the health space."

Twilight sky is a deep metallic purplish-blue color; a strong, precise marker of circadian clock Bob Fosbury: "The color of a clear twilight sky at the zenith at sunset is a deep metallic purplish-blue, very deep dark, very characteristic color, and that's due to ozone in gas. If you took the ozone away the color of the twilight sky at sunset would be a sort of grayish straw color. "And so the nature of the twilight coloration is very special. It's the most extreme change in color of daylight at any time during the 24-hour cycle, happens at twilight. And that's because the blue of the sky, we're talking about clear skies, the blue of the sky is Rayleigh scattering in the daylight. When the sun gets below, at or below the horizon, the blue of the sky has very little to do with Rayleigh scattering. I mean it is driven by Rayleigh scattering, but the blue of the sky is predominantly due to the absorption of ozone gas in the ozone layer. "So without life on the planet, we wouldn't have this, we would never have this dark purplish-blue sky at sunset. If you took photosynthesis away from the planet, that color would be a kind of straw yellow, grayish straw yellow color." [...] "Twilight is incredibly blue whether it's cloudy or not. The change in brightness at twilight is a poor quality calibrator of the circadian clock, whereas the color of twilight is a very powerful, strong, precise marker of the circadian clock, because twilight is always very blue. It's a filter above all the clouds. That's the point. So everything that's coming down through this filter is blue. So even if it's scattered off clouds, or whether it's coming directly from the sky, it's always blue, because the filter is way above all the clouds."

Illegal drugs vastly safer than pharmaceuticals Kevin McKernan: "Our focus has been on looking at plants and fungi that you can grow in your backyard as a pharmaceutical reservoir, because most of the things that they have illegal, if you look at them from a therapeutic index standpoint, which is the LD50 versus the ED50, that's the lethal dose 50 versus the effective dose 50, all of the illegal drugs are vastly safer than the ones that pharmaceutical companies currently sell you. All right? "You look at cannabinoids, look at psilocybin, […] they're orders of magnitude safer than the vast majority of the drugs that they've regulated through the FDA. So, that's a decentralized form of medicine because people can grow them in their backyard. They are thousands of different cannabinoids and tryptamines that those things make. And we want to expand that model on every other medicinal organism out there so that they're publicly available and the breeding can be accelerated."

Loss of bioelectricity in cell predicts cancer, thin line between cancer and regeneration Cameron Borg: "What [Michael Levin and Brook Chernet] are definitely saying is that the signatures of cancer, you know, beyond Warburg metabolism, which seems to be more like an effect, not a cause. It just seems to be something that happens in response to cancerous-type growth. "But what is a predictive factor is a loss of bioelectricity in the cell. And if you can rectify that, which they have done, in I believe a few models now, if you can rectify that bioelectrical signal, the growth and metastasis does not occur. You do not get tumors. "And this is sort of borne out of the fact that they work a lot with planaria. We have this idea that cancer is genetic mutations. It's the genetic material gone wrong. But planaria have the one of the most messed up genomes. They're mixoploid. Their genomes are like all over the place; they've not ordered at all. But planaria are really good at basically adapting. "There's a great podcast that everyone should listen to. I don't know this guy, but he managed to get Nick Lane and Mike Levin on the same podcast and they spoke for about two, two and a half hours. [...] It's a fantastic podcast, and they discuss how planaria organize their genome in a way to make sure that they don't have runaway growth, because they have extremely good regenerative capacity. And there's a very, very thin line between regeneration and cancer. Very, very thin line. "This is why Becker grew to dislike Bassett so much because Bassett just started making devices that would help bone regenerate. And Becker was saying, 'How do you know it's not going to tilt the wrong way and cause cancerous growth?' And of course you don't have to worry about that, you know, FDA approvals are quite easy to get around, if you can just prove that it would regenerate bone, then you know, you don't worry about the consequences basically. And that's a tricky thing to navigate. "And planaria are such a perfect model because they're like immune to cancer, even though their genomes are completely messed up, which is sort of against the common idea that we hold now, which is that cancer is a result of genetic problems. But you can have damage to your genetic code and not develop cancer. I think even back in 2006 when Nick Lane wrote _Power, Sex, Suicide_, the best predictions then were you needed at least eight to 10 mutations in the right place in the genome to trigger a cancerous growth. So it's not just you get one mutation and you're done. You need sort of a few of them in the right places to trigger that. And it seems that bioelectricity is more of an important factor than the genome itself, and we know that from planaria. Because if you look at their genomes, you would say, 'Wow, this is going to cause malignant growth for sure.' But it doesn't seem to be genetics that's the linchpin here. It seems that the bioelectrics are much more important." Cameron Borg with Logan Duvall @ 12:13–15:53 (posted 2025-03-25)

Diseases are environmental, light is the biggest environmental change Logan Duvall: "I owe everything that I'm doing now to Dr. Kruse. But give us that elevator pitch for how sunlight is the solution for so much of the chronic disease that we are plagued with." Cameron Borg: "You know, I think about this a lot because it goes back to that whole thing 'If you can't explain it simply, then you don't know it well enough.' And I think I would definitely say that I'm in that camp. I don't think I grasp it well enough to explain it simply. "But what my elevator pitch would be to someone who has no idea would be to ask them, 'What the biggest changes in our environment have been over last 100 years?' And the reality is if we are looking at diseases that are from the environment, should we not start at the places in the environment that have changed the most, that are the most foreign? And light is one of, if not the biggest, changes we've experienced. The unfortunate part of that is that our eyes don't pick it up, because we're easily fooled, because we never needed to evolve a way to differentiate between an LED and natural, broad-spectrum light. "And the elevator pitch really is if our diseases are environmental, which they are, should our efforts not be focused on the things that have changed in the environment most over the last century? And I think that's as simple as I can get it, because I think that really is just nothing but an appeal to logic. There's no science in there whatsoever. You're not saying light is the whole story. What you're saying is, 'Our investigations should begin at the parts of the environment that have changed the most.' And I think everyone would agree on that logical sentiment, whether they know anything about light or not. I think that's logical." Cameron Borg with Logan Duvall @ 34:09–36:11 (posted 2025-03-25)
