Prehistoric humans used tools to extract ketogenic, low-deuterium bone marrow. Our natural metabolic state is ketosis. Eat grass-fed animal fats. We adopted agriculture and chronic diseases appeared on a mass scale Dr. László Boros: "Four million years ago, and this was a big finding for me, papers that published that actually the prehistoric man was able to open the skull of large plant-eating animals and start eating bone marrow fat. That's what humans were eating and consuming for themselves for millions of years. […] These prehistoric men were able to go in a ketogenic, deuterium-depleted diet which provides nutritional ketosis and metabolic ketosis with low deuterium. […] They were able to develop brain skills, fine motor movements, fine kind of hand speech. They were able to use their body in a low-deuterium environment in a more flexible, more expressive, and in a more complicated complex way, as far as memory, as far as communications, as far as social behaviors, and so on. And that was all dependent on low-fat, ketogenic diets that they were obtaining from large, plant-eating animals carcasses. "Now, the other advantage of this is that they didn't have to chase, they didn't have to hunt, they didn't have to be exposed to predatory animals by competing for these preys. They just waited until the predators left, and the scavengers left, and the bones were kind of cleaned up for them just to break through those bones using stone tools. That's what they found in this Ethiopian land where they found these 3.8 to 4 million years old bone structures of large plant-eating animals that were actually broken into using tools. "So if you look at for example a mammoth, or if you look at like large plant-eating animals, they have about 20 kg of bone marrow in any of those big bones. So those were actually very reliable, good untouched food sources; they just had to learn how to use tools to get to this ketogenic, low deuterium fat source. […] "So as our natural metabolic profile is ketosis, they could maintain ketosis during the day, low deuterium ketosis, this is what we should do, by the way, this is our natural metabolic state. […] "Agriculture came along about 10,000 years ago, and they started cultivating plants that are higher in deuterium. They formed larger communities and they started harvesting and eating plants, and that's where chronic diseases, and that's where diseases appeared in mass scales as we know. And this is when infectious diseases appeared also, because infectious diseases also depend on deuterium for the propagation of infectious agents. And changing dieting behaviors changed the disease landscape on mankind and societies, and we ended up where we are now. "Most people eat processed food, and if you look at the kind of the general health or the chronic disease epidemics taking place on this entire planet you can tell there is a huge devastating change, and practically it's because of the environmental exposure and also the food. The food industry does not measure deuterium, they don't really label the deuterium, and they don't really care about deuterium, meaning that practically you're left alone, you have to figure out yourself where to find low deuterium food source, and those are grass-fed animal fat, practically."

Maintain gut health by getting sunlight on your entire front. Sunlight on your gut makes molecular hydrogen. See the sunrise to set the circadian rhythm for your gut Kriben Govender: "Nathan, if there was one thing that our audience could do for their gut health, what would it be?" Nathan Walz: "Get some sun on your gut. […] "Infrared light, red light, penetrates up to 30 centimeters into your body. The bacteria in your gut, they actually do like that light, so it's very good for your bacteria. […] When you get sunlight on your gut that actually makes molecular hydrogen in your gut the natural way, the way you're supposed to make it. So you don't have to spend a lot of money on that supplement. You can just go outside and expose your gut to the sun. […] "So anytime you can get sunlight on your gut, and your gut goes from your mouth all the way to your butt, so you want to get that sunlight on your entire front. But that's one of the best things you can do to really maintain good gut health." […] Kriben Govender: "Love it." Nathan Walz: "So go out, watch the sunrise. If you're able to take your shirt off, or even just kind of lift up your shirt some, get as much of that gut exposed to the sun in the morning. "Plus watching the sunrise sets your circadian rhythm, so you want to get that natural light in your eyes. No sunglasses. You want to have your glasses up. But your gut has a circadian rhythm, too. When your circadian rhythm is off in your gut you're gonna have different gut issues over time. So just that one thing: going out, watching the sunrise every morning, getting that stimulus in your eyes so your brain clock knows what time it is. It coordinates with all the other clocks, and your other organs, including your gut, work a whole lot better."

If you visit the cenotes in Mexico for four to seven days, how long do the health benefits last? Nathan Walz: "So how long does it last after you leave Mexico?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "The latest research says the pop in redox you get from being down here is anywhere between four and six weeks. So it depends how long you stay. That's just four days. If you stay four to seven days you can get a four to six week pop. That's part of the reason why I come down here so often. I try to figure it out. I probably won't have to come down here as much as I used to, because I'm not taking call anymore. That was the thing that was killing me and my redox."

Health benefits of visiting the cenotes in Mexico Nathan Walz: "So Jack, […] talk about why you chose Mexico for your members retreat." Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] Most of the reason why we're here is about 65 million years ago there was an asteroid that hit the planet, took out the dinosaurs, and that's when the age of mammals came. And pretty much everybody that's on this call is probably a mammal, so what happened then it set the stage for eukaryotic evolution. And the reason why it's special is about 40 miles of the crust got blown away, so the mantle is really close to the surface, so there's a higher magnetic flux here. Normally on earth the µT is about 0.2 to 0.4 and in most places the earth. It turns out down here it's about 1.2 µT, so it's about 300 to 400% higher magnetic flux, so it's kind of like living on the ultimate Magnetico. "The other big thing here is when the asteroid hit […] it moved all the groundwater from deep in the mantle up to the surface, and it turns out the ground war is heavily deuterium depleted. That's where the cenote system came from, and the cenote system […] is on the rim of the asteroid. Only 13% is still exposed; 87% is actually in the Gulf of Mexico. If you look at a satellite image from Google […] you'll see that the rim of all the cenotes forms a perfect radius of the circle from that original asteroid hit. It turns out all the water from the Yucatan Peninsula comes through the cenote system, and what the governor of Mexico does, there's no lakes here, there's no rivers, there's none of that, it's all from the cenotes. That's from 65 million years of rainwater and groundwater sitting in these kettles inside this crater, so it's highly structured water. Some of the cenotes are open to the sun so they get constant UV year-round. So the water here is special. But Mexico does something really interesting. They actually use reverse osmosis to all the cenote water to further deuterium deplete it and clean it up. So the water here happens to be perfectly great right out the bottle. Now they have mineral water here, they have all different kinds of water, but all the water here including stuff you take a shower in is all cenote water, and it's all reverse osmosis treated. So that's what's good about it. "And obviously we're at the 20th north latitude so you're always in tropical weather. So the weather here, as you guys just know we just passed the winter solstice, so it's the shortest day of the year. Even here at the 20th latitude it's kind of probably better weather than most of you would get at your house on the best day in the summer, so that's what's special about it. And it's not humid; it's actually pretty clear." Dr. Jack Kruse with Nathan Walz @ 03:13–06:46 (posted 2018-01-08)

Should a 20-year old consume deuterium-depleted water? How about a 53-year old? Nathan Walz: "Lynn wants to know if she should give her 20 year old son deuterium-depleted water, or would somebody his age need deuterium for growth and development?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Yeah, I'm gonna tell you that I think that deuterium-depleted water for the first couple of decades, unless somebody has a significant mitochondrial disease, it's not needed. Deuterium-depleted water is best when heteroplasmy rate is higher. I wouldn't assume a 20-year old would have that, unless the kid was born would say a childhood cancer, or an autoimmune condition, or some kind of tumor. That would be the only time I would do that. "It's a good thing to do; don't get me wrong. I still think it's not a bad way to go. But the deuterium-depleted water pathway is a backup pathway. You're designed to make it mostly in your mitochondria. But you can offset a bad mitochondrial matrix by utilizing the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. That's actually how drinking water can affect that. It also then has a spillover effect to another pathway, and that's called the NADPH pool. That pool is designed to really take care of RNA and DNA. And usually in young people that's not a big deal. There's another backup pathway that I've written about on my Patreon blogs. […] It's called the serine glycine inner conversion, and the way to use that is to use animal fats or plant fats to access that, and that's another way for you to help fix your matrix. "But again, that's also something I don't think a 20-year old really needs to do. Really, the key stuff somebody's 20 needs to do is the stuff that we talked about on the regular on the regular site, like the leptin prescription, cold thermogenesis, eating a seasonal diet, trying to mind your EMFs, definitely blocking blue light at night. Because if you don't do those things that's actually what allows the deuterium to go into your matrix, and then that leads to heteroplasmy or diseases, so that when you are me and Rich's age, you got to worry about it. "I'm 53, Rich is 65. For us, deuterium-depleted water is a good thing. Why? Because I'm in my sixth decade, Rich is in his seventh, and we know from Doug Wallace's work that every decade we live our heteroplasmy by chance alone goes up 10%. So him and I are closer to our ends so we need to do more, and that's why him going to the cenotes, and me down here drinking a lot of deuterium-depleted water from the cenotes, that's part of the reason I come here so many times. This year alone, this is my eighth time in 2017, and I'm here for a whole week and I'll be here for another week. This place is, when you said, 'Is it the Fountain of Youth?' You say it in a joking fashion, but to be quite honest with you, when you have a high heteroplasmy rate, this place is the shit. That's all I can tell you."

The human brain's preferential fuel is ketones, not glucose. The lower limit of carbohydrates in the human diet is zero. There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Why chubby babies Anthony Chaffee, MD: "This is something people talk about, that glucose is the brain's primary energy source. What do you say about that?" Benjamin Bikman, PhD: Yeah. […] I just […] presented at […] the meeting of the American Association of Biological Anthropologists. […] I felt compelled to inform the person reaching out to me, […] 'Look, I'm a nutrient biochemist, mitochondrial physiologist. What do I have to say?' And he had said, 'I'm familiar with your work on brain energy use. I am putting together a session about the changes in […] our ancestor diets over these periods of evolution, and I want you to talk about the brain acting as a hybrid.' […] "I […] shared with them a quote by the National Academy of Sciences in the US stating that the lower limit of carbohydrates in the human diet is zero. In other words, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, and the idea that the human brain evolved because our ancestors ate a lot of carbs, that's utterly ridiculous. […] It's because they mistake dietary carbohydrates with blood glucose. What does appear to be the case is that the brain has some demand for some glucose. That appears to be accurate, although the lower limit is unknown. Early work by a fasting physiologist named George Cahill, he was putting people's glucose down to like 20 mg/dL, which most people would say you're unconscious, you're in a coma, and you're going to die. And these people, because they've been long-term fast adapted, which I would say ketone adapted, there appeared to be no deficit to cognition, and that's a pretty bloody low level of glucose. "But nevertheless, let's kind of grant that side of it, that the brain has some requirement for some glucose. Well it is a minimal requirement, because if you take a body that has five millimolar (mM) glucose, then you start increasing the ketones to one or two or even 3 mM, which is still less than the 5 mM of glucose, so there's still less of the ketone in the blood than there is the glucose, by then the brain has already dramatically shifted its energy use. And even though the ketone may be less than half of what the glucose is in the blood, it's now providing twice as much of energy to the brain as the glucose is. So if the brain has any preferential fuel, it is absolutely for the ketone. […] "You can take a newborn baby, and the baby can breastfeed or bottle feed, and then within an hour the baby is in a deeper state of ketosis than an adult would be after fasting for a full day. That baby will be at 2 mM ketones in an hour. And an adult, for me, if I want to get to 2 mM, I gotta fast for like 36 hours to get to that point. So if there's any natural state, […] it is clearly that a natural state is a state of ketosis. […] "We are such totally unique creatures, where we are the only land-based mammals born obese, and the only animal who has a brain that is larger than the birth canal, much to a mother's chagrin. But that means we have these very big hungry brains, and all of this chubby, adorable baby fat that is just producing ketones like gangbusters to fuel the brain growth. And if you have a baby that is born premature and lacks sufficient adipose tissue, it is much more likely that they're going to develop neurological disorders, all the more reason to chubby up that baby as quickly as you can."

Information is energy. Light has information in it. When you're in the wrong light, you delete melatonin, you delete your life force. "What's the defect in the environment that led to this disease state?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "And it turns out with information theory, what does it say? When information is lost from light, mass has to be expended. […] "Information is energy. That's the leap. And it turns out that light has information in it. Well if you're a doctor, don't you think you want to know what kind of information your patients are getting? Do you think the information in an indoor blue-lit world is maybe different than the one that comes from the sun when you're outside in the morning? "And do you think that may have bigger implications then maybe you currently think now and just because we live in indoor existence and 99.8% of the light that humans live under today is manufactured, that should be a stunning realization too. You should say, 'Well, if we're living under this light that we created from Tesla and Edison, how is this ruining information signaling?' Like are we making all the zeros and ones that we're supposed to? Is disease maybe tied to what Jack just said, when information is lost in a system mass is lost. "Well last time I checked melatonin is made out of mass. When melatonin is lost, you lose the two change programs in mitochondria. You can't change them. So guess what? Now I just explained to you that a loss of information of your light can actually create losses of things with mass [snaps fingers] overnight. Like it doesn't have to develop; there's no prodrome. [snaps fingers] It [snaps fingers] happens [snaps fingers] like that. Why? Because how does light work? Photons experience no time, and you keep forgetting that. […] "I tried to give you that clue about the light bulbs in your house. I want you to understand that when you change the light bulbs in your house compared to that sun behind me, that ultimately it's going to lead to a deletion of mass and different proteins in your body. It turns out that those proteins might be some of the most important proteins you have. Like melatonin, everybody thinks about sleep. It's not, it's really not. Melatonin controls actually how good your engines are in your body, which are your mitochondria, through those two change programs you talked about. […] When you're in the wrong light, you delete melatonin from the system. That means you deleted your life force. OK? […] "Is anybody really asking the fundamental question? Like, 'What information in my environment is being lost that's causing a problem in my life?' No, because the patient doesn't know to ask that question when they show up in your office. It's your job as a clinician to say, 'What makes this person unique? What about them is causing them to lose information from the waveforms in their environment?' Instead of looking at the defect in them, […] maybe the way we need to think about this, 'What's the defect in the environment that led to this disease state?'

Practicing cold thermogenesis at age 14: "I would always go out with a wet head. […] I'd ride to school on the subway, in between the subway cars, and my hair would freeze."

At the time I used to have curly hair like Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, and it used to go down the back of my head. I would go out with it soaking wet, it would make my coat wet. I'd ride to school on the subway, in between the subway cars, and my hair would freeze. Every day my mom was convinced I was going to have pneumonia, I was going to die. Turned out when I was that age, I was the only one in the house that never got sick, even living in New York City, traveling in a subway. That's the effect of cooling on your head. That's something called cold thermogenesis. "Well, let's fast forward now 30 years. I'm a neurosurgeon. What do I do when someone gets their head bashed in? I cool their head to improve their function. Why? Because it actually makes mitochondria a more thermally efficient heat engine. How about that? So guess what? The same principle that I didn't even know I was doing at 14 years old, now at 55, people are paying me money for it. "And when I teach people to use it for different diseases now, their primary care doctor will say, 'Oh well, you know, we're not talking about your head kicked in. We're talking about you having diabetes, or we're talking about you having obesity. It won't work for that.' Well, it won't? Tell me why it won't? And they can't.

Light impacts hunger. UVB light stimulates POMC production, creating α-MSH, thereby suppressing appetite. Modern humans don't get enough UVB light. GLP-1s, like Ozempic, stimulate POMC production in the hypothalamus to reduce appetite. You could have just gone outside and gotten the UVB light to get a very similar effect Shawn Stevenson: "Does a light impact our hunger?" Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Hugely, hugely, hugely. So, a lot of people think that hunger is a willpower issue. It is not. It is controlled by the brain through many complex mechanisms. But this is also why I really want to talk about UVB light because when we're exposed to UVB light, it creates a neurohormone in our brain and in our skin called POMC or proopiomelanocortin. So this is a complex prohormone that's cleaved into 10 different hormonal products. One of these products is α-MSH. So MSH stands for melanocyte-stimulating hormone. So, as the name implies, α-MSH is responsible, it's one of the factors responsible for telling melanocytes to turn on melanin production in response to UVB light. And so, that's one reason why you get a tan in response to the sun, because your melanocytes are getting the signal to, Hey, we need to make more melanin. And this is not only from a protection standpoint, but from an actual harnessing of the energetic capacity of UV light standpoint as well, which we can talk about in a bit when we're talking about melanin. "But with regards to hunger control, appetite and energy expenditure control, α-MSH also plays a very important role. So α-MSH actually binds in the hypothalamus of the brain, which is like the kind of the control center for metabolism, appetite, bioenergetics like it is the hub that is telling you when to eat, when not to eat, when to move, when not to move. And α-MSH, when it binds to receptors in the hypothalamus suppresses appetite and increases energy expenditure, which should sound like a holy grail with regards to the obesity epidemic and you know a lot of the issues that we have as a result of that diabetes, etc., because if you're getting that UVB light input, you're naturally going to want to eat less, and you're naturally going to not only want to move your body more and have more energy, but you're just going to burn more energy at rest through an elevation in your basal metabolic rate. "So this is just one factor from POMC that is having all these effects. We can talk about the others as well, but light plays an absolutely critical role in regulating appetite and energy expenditure. And when you learn that modern humans, especially in America, are spending over 90% of their time indoors not getting any of those UV rays, and when they are going outside, they're told to wear sunblock, sunglasses, protect themselves from the UVB light, then it makes so much sense that as a result of that, we are basically having a bioenergetic collapse and a lot of kind of a frayed system that is not able to regulate its appetite and energy expenditure effectively to yoke that to the environment. So it's a absolutely huge issue and a crux of the problem." Shawn Stevenson: "Wow. Oh my gosh. So it just makes sense with dysregulation and hunger and we jump to instead we're trying to treat the symptom with all these new innovations, GLP-1s, and the like." Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Well it's actually interesting but the GLP-1s, like Ozempic, work on this POMC pathway. They actually stimulate POMC production in the hypothalamus to reduce appetite, when you could have just gone outside and gotten the UVB light to get a very similar effect."

But what about the worries around skin cancer? You also mentioned you shouldn't wear sunscreen. What about mineral-based sunscreen? Is that OK? […]" 42:08 Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "Yeah, I don't recommend sunscreen at all, and certainly not aluminum. There's a lot of sunscreens that contain aluminum, and that aluminum will absorb through your skin, and that's going to also mess up your enzymes. Aluminum is very toxic. It's actually interesting that the rate of melanoma in the skin has been going up over time in step with increased use of sunscreen. So if you think sunscreen is protecting you from melanoma, why is the rate going up? It doesn't make any sense. "I think part of the problem is the glyphosate, and part of the reason there is the melanin, because melanin is one of the many biologically active molecules that comes out of that shikimate pathway that glyphosate disrupts. So the microbes are making the precursors, which are those aromatic amino acids that I mentioned earlier, and those are precursors to melanin which is a skin tanning agent that naturally turns your skin dark when you're exposed to sunlight, and that is a fantastic natural protection that humans have if they have melanin. "But when the melanin becomes deficient, a lot of people say, 'Well, I get out in the sun, but I just turn red. I don't tan,' and I'm thinking, 'OK, glyphosate,' [laughs] I suspect. So part of the problem is because of glyphosate we're more sensitive, we have more problems with the sun causing damage, again because our own system is disrupted, and we're not able to use it properly the way it would be intended to protect us. I certainly think it's much better to just quiet slowly build up a tan during the spring so you can handle the summer sun without sunscreen. As long as you have a good tan you don't need sunscreen, in my opinion." Dr. Stephanie Seneff with Aastha Jain Simes @ 41:47–43:45 (posted 2024-05-30)

How to avoid glyphosate. Eat certified organic whole foods, organic eggs, animal fats, butter, sour cream, full-fat milk, half and half. Avoid processed foods. Humic acid and fulvic acid helpful in removing glyphosate from the gut Aastha Jain Simes: "If someone wants to avoid glyphosate as much as possible, what are some practical suggestions you would give them?" Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "Absolutely go on certified organic diet. Only buy certified organic foods, and I would recommend only buying whole foods; don't eat processed foods. Anything that has a whole bunch of ingredients don't buy it, you know, one of the soy protein bar, even organic soy protein bar, I wouldn't buy it. So you want eat high nutrient density foods as well, for example, organic eggs. That's a terrific food because they got so many vitamins and minerals as well as of course sulfur. "And healthy fats. I really recommend animal fats, and I love butter and sour cream. Those are nice low-deuterium fats. Actually interesting, because milk has low-deuterium, and that's intentional, I think, because the infant needs to have low deuterium in its diet. […] I only drink full-fat milk. In fact, if I have cereal I put half and half on it, so even more fat than full-fat milk. […] And by the way, butter has very low deuterium, so natural organic butter is a terrific food. […] So the high fat diet is low deuterium. […] "I mentioned the humic acid and fulvic acid. People are find that that's helpful for removing glyphosate from the gut. And probiotics, I really think if you eat a lot of probiotic foods, it's good anyway, because they can help with your gut microbes. They could have bacteria that could metabolize glyphosate in them. I don't know whether that's true or not, but I would hope that could be." Dr. Stephanie Seneff with Aastha Jain Simes @ 01:13:35–01:14:43 (posted 2024-05-30)

Why could celiac be a result of glyphosate? Glyphosate is used to dessicate wheat for harvest wheat in US & Canada. Lactobacillus in the gut aids digestion of gluten. Glyphosate kills lactobacillus Aastha Jain Simes: "Why could celiac be a result of glyphosate?" Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "Yeah, that's a very interesting one. I wrote a whole paper on that together with Anthony Samsel. I was very interested in it and I definitely think that it's the primary cause of the epidemic that we're seeing in gluten intolerance. It's amazing how it's kind of shot up out of nowhere. I started noticing, I can remember maybe 10 years ago all these gluten-free foods showing up, and sections of the grocery store devoted to gluten-free. "I was puzzled by that. But then once I realized that glyphosate is sprayed on the wheat right before harvest quite often here in the United States and especially in Canada where it can get cold. They want to beat the frost, they can accelerate the maturation to produce seed and they can synchronize the harvest so that they can get a higher yield if they spray the crop with glyphosate shortly before harvest. "And then of course when the glyphosate goes into the seed and so you get especially high levels of glyphosate in the wheat germ, which is a very healthy food normally, but the highest levels are showing up in the wheat germ because that's where the glyphosate is going. It gets into the tissues of the plants; you can't wash it off. "Lactobacillus is a microbe in the gut that's very important for the infant for digesting milk actually, but also gluten. That microbe specializes in helping the host to digest proteins that contain a lot of proline, and both casein and gluten contain a lot of proline. Proline is a special amino acid that uniquely requires special enzymes to break it apart from the other amino acids in the protein, and the lactobacillus provide those enzymes to the host. So that's a very fancy collaboration between the bug and the host to deal with the digestion of the wheat. And I think part of the problem is that lactobacillus is being killed off by the glyphosate, the wheat is not being adequately digested, and these short peptides containing proline are sticking around. "And when the immune cells see a peptide sequence that's a foreign protein they get upset, so the immune cells produce antibodies to that. And then it turns out there's this mechanism called molecular mimicry where the antibody gets confused and sees a human protein that's similar and starts attacking that instead. And transglutaminase in fact is the particular protein that gets attacked by an autoimmune disease called celiac disease, which is a very specific form of gluten intolerance. And celiac disease in this paper we showed a plot that showed that celiac disease was going up in prevalence over time in the United States exactly in step with the rise in glyphosate usage on wheat, not corn and soy, but wheat, which was a different curve, but it matched much better with the gluten intolerance than the usage on corn and soy, which makes sense because it's wheat that's the problem. "So I really feel pretty confident that glyphosate is the primary cause of the epidemic that we're seeing in gluten intolerance."

UV in sunlight hits the skin, releases NO, which moves into circulation, which dilates arteries, which lowers blood pressure, so you don't get a heart attack or stroke, and you live longer. Dermatologists don't care Professor Richard Weller: "We then shone UV at the arm. And we either shone UV at the arm so rays hit it, or we shone UV at the arm but it was covered with a foil blanket so the temperature rises but UV doesn't hit the skin. And what we showed was that when you irradiate the forearm it causes vasodilation. So ultraviolet in man is an arterial vasodilator, and the sham arm there was no vasodilation. So UV in man is a direct vasodilator. "Blood pressure is a function of total peripheral resistance and cardiac output. So you multiply what the heart cardiac output is by the peripheral resistance (and the more constricted vessels are the greater the resistance), and the function of those two gives you blood pressure. So we then stood people in UV cabinets or we lay people under full-length UV lamps, and we showed that shining UV at people lowers blood pressure. The sham irradiation, covered with the foil blanket so that the temperature goes up and not the rays, there's a fall in blood pressure while the lamps are on because you get warm. But as soon as the lamps are off, the sham irradiation returns to normal, but the actively irradiated stays down. "And then you have a rise in circulating nitric oxide in the irradiated group and a fall in nitrate. So sunlight hits the skin, releases NO, which moves into the circulation, which dilates arteries, which lowers blood pressure, so you don't get a heart attack or stroke, and you live longer. That's great. "So that was super. Of absolutely zero interest to dermatologists. Not interested at all. Couldn't be. They really don't care."

Breathing to bring a quietness & stillness to the mind. Seeing Grafton Street for the first time Patrick McKeown: "How do you conduct yourself in your normal, day-to-day activities? We have a choice as human beings: we are either stuck in our head or we are not. And I'm not talking about being in our mind and thinking about practical purposes. There is a time to think, to make decisions, to plan, to question. There's a time to think, and that's very practical, and that's very important for human beings, because we do have to think things through. "But there's a time to stop thinking. The problem is that we have develop the thinking mind into such an instrument involved with thinking, we just cannot stop thinking. Our education system has trained us how to think for 12 or 14 years. It has trained us how to think, but it hasn't gave us the tools to be able to bring a quietness and a stillness to the mind. Because if we are living our life stuck in our head, it's not a nice place to be. The human mind is not a nice place to be. […] We all have a tendency to overthink. […] "If you were to break it down it's actually so simple. Stop thinking. Yeah, so stop thinking. OK, and you say, 'Well that's not so simple.' Well, but actual fact it's not that hard, if you compare the alternative. What the alternative? Living stuck in your head, totally isolated from life. You can't live life. Like, I was that individual. […] "When I came across breathing I was lucky enough to. . . I went to a two-hour talk in Dublin in a hotel and it was obviously gave by people, two individuals, who were in a state that they were immersed in presence. And there's one thing about human beings that when we talk about bringing a stillness and a quietness to the mind, it's not necessarily the words that we are transmitting. But there's something else that goes beyond the words and I don't want to sound too woo woo here because it's difficult to kind of objectively break it down scientifically. "I left that two-hour talk and I walked down Grafton Street, which is a street in Dublin, it was the first time that I actually saw the street. Now I had walked that street numerous times and I can still remember. I can remember the colors, I can remember the sounds, I can remember the feeling, and I can remember the silence of my head. And it wasn't, you know, it was just different. I didn't really know what was going on but I got a taste. […] It was almost as if the critical mind had just been put aside for that brief period of time because whatever I'd listened to these two individuals. "It wasn't that I was in a state of hypnosis or anything like that going down the street. But it planted a seed in me that even though I woke up the next morning I was still back to that racing mind, because of the societal pressures for young kids. […] I was in my early 20s at the time. You know, that drive to succeed, and the pressures that we put upon ourselves." Patrick McKeown with Mads Tömörkènyi & Jakob @ 22:25–24:36 & 26:15–27:53 (posted 2024-07-21)

Nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) persisting for weeks. Tremendous dose getting through breast milk. Spike persisting almost a year later. Five peer-reviewed studies show that the DNA contamination is found in patients Kevin McKernan: "Why do we care about this so much? Well, there's all of these papers that have rolled out demonstrating nucleic acid persistence, and I say nucleic acid because we don't know from these papers whether they're measuring DNA or RNA. They used a method known as RT-PCR which which amplifies both. And so many of these papers published before this DNA contamination was known, so they assumed it was the RNA because they were looking at the spike sequence. But if they went back, and tortured that with perhaps primers that looked at the plasmid backbone that's not supposed to be in the vaccine, I'm kind of curious what they would find. "But we have the Krauson paper here that was finding this, what are they, they are out 30 days in heart tissues. There's the Röltgen‬ paper which is out 60 days. "There are all these other papers that found it in placenta two to 10 days [Veronica J. Gonzalez, et. al]. There was found in plasmid from Castruita paper 28 days later in plasma. And then in breast milk there was, this was out to about five days in the Hannah paper. "And the Hannah paper is undermeasuring this. They have a PCR assay that's horribly insensitive; it only has about a 400,000 copy LOD (limit of detection). That should be down at around 10 copies. So their assay for some reason is insensitive to this issue, so I think if they had a more sensitive assay they would have found this out 10, 15 days in breast milk. "Anyway, there's a tremendous dose getting through breast milk. If you add up what's in that paper, the number of feedings that a child has, this is not an insignificant amount as those authors suggest, because they did not consider how much milk a baby drinks over the course of three days, and that would add up to a substantial and sizable dose that that child was getting in that feeding. "Now, very recently, we're also seeing spike protein persistence in these two papers. […] The Yale study actually found it 709 days out, and the Patterson study found it 245 days out. But this is protein that is not going away in 48 hours; it is there almost years later. Why is that? Proteins don't do that. Most proteins have a turnover rate that's in weeks, not years. So this implies something is regenerating the spike protein in your body, or it is evading destruction for long periods of time and certain what reservoirs in the human body. So this leads people to believe perhaps this mRNA is lasting longer, or there's plasmids in there still generating spike, and we don't know the answer to that yet. "So now here's the real kicker that I haven't presented on much lately, because this is very recent work. The kicker here is that we're now finding these sequences not just in the vaccine, but we're finding it in people. Now we don't know if it's integrated but it's there. And these are studies that weren't looking for it and the methods they used arguably suppressed the signal significantly. All right, so there's at least five peer-reviewed studies that have come out looking at RNA sequencing of people who were vaccinated, unvaccinated. And if you dig through that data that's in NCBI, you can take all those reads, map them against the plasmids from the vaccine manufacturers, and you can find that DNA in these patients." npub1k8dxqxgnv2p6ymwkamfrx237qjct3zezsx2xevt6z6nzdgalff3qy94qte @ 25:03–28:29 (posted 2025-06-10) https://rumble.com/v6uhd1d-presentation-to-new-zealand-commission-on-mrna-vax-contamination-of-the-blo.html?start=1503
