They had to figure out some way to radically change things, bringing on the pandemic, or more wars, or something was needed. 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:54.000 I think the basic universal income is going to be phased in gradually with these. 00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:06.000 I think the checks to the public are going to get more often until finally it's like everyone is on a pension. 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.000 That will make savings worthless. 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:26.000 I see that as once you have everyone basically on a pension, plus inflation that has destroyed any kind of savings, 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:36.000 then you have people under control because then you can just change their pension at will. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.000 And you had a specific time frame, you just said four to five years, so that's actually pretty useful to know, I feel like. 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.000 What makes you think four to five years? 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:52.000 Just the rate of increasing inflation over the last two years or so. 00:05:52.000 --> 00:06:03.000 One of the websites you mentioned, Zero Hedge, they keep talking about inflation and they keep saying, "Oh, maybe people should start buying gold." 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:09.000 But then I remember that up until 1964, the government had actually prohibited people from owning gold. 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:15.000 Do you think something like that can happen again? 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:24.000 Well, there won't be enough gold. It's already tending to disappear like the U.S. 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:33.000 Won't give back national gold that they were supposedly storing because it just isn't there. 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:46.000 People have been investing in paper gold and I think there just isn't enough real gold left. 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:53.000 The price will just go up if it isn't artificially held down like the government has been doing. 00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:08.000 So the price of gold will go up, but there just isn't enough real gold to work as money anymore. 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.000 Remember the Senator Ron Paul, the former Senator? 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:19.000 For decades he kept saying, "There is no gold at Fort Knox. They refuse to allow me to do an inspection. 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:28.000 They keep doctoring the paperwork. We have only 1% of the physical gold that the United States claims that it does." 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.000 Do you think there's any truth to that? 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:42.000 Yes. Germany and Venezuela, for example, were asking to get their gold that had been stored for them in the U.S. 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:53.000 I haven't heard, but I was paying attention to it for a while and the U.S. was simply stonewalling. 00:07:53.000 --> 00:08:00.000 Do you think that may be one of the reasons why countries like Russia and China are rapidly increasing their physical gold reserves, 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.000 preparing for the devaluation of the dollar basically becoming worthless? 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.000 Yes, I think so. 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.000 We talked about it a little bit, but the idea behind Bitcoin is that it's finite, there's a limited amount, 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.000 and then some people are saying it's a lot better than gold. 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:23.000 It seems to be getting some institutional support, but you think this is just some kind of misdirection? 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.000 I think so. 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:37.000 Actually, there's nothing existing. It's a belief system. 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:47.000 Right now, the changing beliefs about it have made some people very rich, 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:52.000 but buying a small amount skyrocketed in price. 00:08:52.000 --> 00:09:06.000 Since it's basically a psychological currency, I think it can be manipulated out of existence whenever the world powers decide to. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:18.000 In your view, is there any way to hedge your bets against the next four or five years of things getting really rough, monetarily-wise? 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.000 No, not really. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:32.000 If you have some land in a place that is survivable, enough water to support yourself, 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:54.000 and some goats and chickens, and to grow some vegetables, then everything is good until some mobsters or governments decide to confiscate your land. 00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.000 People accuse George and I of being a doomer on this subject, 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.000 but when we talk to you, it really seems like things are not going to pick up anytime soon. 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.000 They're just going to get a lot worse. 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:15.000 I know you choose your words very carefully, and you think about these subjects a lot. 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.000 I imagine you wouldn't even want to say things would get bad, 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:24.000 just because that might put somebody in a learned helplessness situation. 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.000 Also, I was reading some Lennon quotes, and I think he has a quote about saying you're a true friend to somebody 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:33.000 if you actually tell them the truth rather than sugarcoating it or something like that. 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.000 What is your perspective on that? 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:52.000 There is a way out, and that is for everyone or at least half of the population to wake up and actually think about things 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:58.000 instead of prejudices that they've been taught since childhood. 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:10.000 If they just start questioning basically every word in their language and thinking, "Why do I think this?" 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:21.000 and then looking at what the absence of facts in their belief system implies, 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:27.000 that could lead to people asking questions. 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:38.000 What can we do about the situation in which a few thousand people are deliberately destroying everyone's livelihood, 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:51.000 making them rapidly more dependent and threatening bigger and bigger wars to keep people fearful? 00:11:51.000 --> 00:12:08.000 If millions of people start thinking about what can be done, then naturally basic intelligence is going to come up with some ideas. 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:13.000 What about the tactic of Gandhi, like non-violent non-cooperation? 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:21.000 Do you think if a sufficient number of people simply refuse to participate in the system, that would be enough to cripple it? 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:27.000 Yeah, at some point, if there are enough people. 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:34.000 What would be a few things that would really put a dent into the system, 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:42.000 like maybe refusing to participate in social media, refusing to buy things online maybe? 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:53.000 Just absolute withdrawal from all of the stupid imposed digital systems. 00:12:53.000 --> 00:13:03.000 Don't buy anything from Amazon. Don't express your opinions on Facebook. 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.000 Which would require you meeting people physically, which would quickly end the pandemic restrictions, 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.000 because if everybody decides to meet others, you just can't lock them all up? 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:24.000 Yeah, that's why people ordered not to meet in groups bigger than five or ten. 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:38.000 That used to be called sedition if you had five or six people gathering together on the street to talk about politics. 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:42.000 Was there an actual law like that in Britain or the US? 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:52.000 Oh, in England at different times, when they were very worried about the French or American revolutions spreading. 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:59.000 Wow, so this has some serious historical roots. It didn't come out of nowhere. 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:07.000 Well, at the risk of bumming everybody out, I do want to talk more about this, but I do want to jump into your newsletter, Ray. 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.000 Okay, let me scroll down here really quickly. 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:17.000 Okay, so you have a new newsletter. We talked about your newsletter last time, but this one's called "Inflammation, Adaptation, and Aging." 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.000 And similar to last time, what was your motivation specifically for writing this? 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:28.000 This seems to connect very closely to the last few newsletters that you've been writing. 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:43.000 Yeah, and it's a step to the next one, which will be how purpose and intentionality relate to development and inflammation and aging. 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:58.000 And this is just making the connections between heredity, adaptation, aging and inflammation, and disease resistance. 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.000 Can we get a—sorry, go ahead. 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:16.000 Bringing in the fact that the perfect environment is intrauterine, and then various things can go wrong after birth. 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:30.000 If you're in a hospital especially, they can intensify everything that ordinarily would take 50 or 60 years to go wrong. 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:57.000 They can do it in a couple of weeks, but it's showing the historical continuity between stress, adaptation, and the immune system or developmental system that goes wrong in aging. 00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:03.000 It's really popular in the health world to say, "Oh, that's because of inflammation," or "Oh, that's because of inflammation." 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.000 And it's never really nailed down what inflammation is. 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.000 So what, in your perspective, how do you even define that? 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:30.000 It's what a healthy person who catches, for example, the COVID virus does not experience. Their immune system makes them totally unaware that there has been a virus in their body. 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:47.000 Because the body is so multiply, complexly designed not to go wrong, not to experience inflammation. 00:16:47.000 --> 00:17:02.000 It has to be a sick and dying person to get in trouble from such a thing as a minor virus or bacteria. 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:24.000 Once you're sick, then you're already in an inflamed state. And in that inflamed state, one or more viruses is just another pro-inflammatory degenerative factor. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:34.000 But a healthy person handles resistance and immunity without even noticing it. 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:51.000 So the degree of inflammation that you experience with a wound or exposure to irritants and so on corresponds to your state of health. 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:57.000 If one is deficient in PUFA, is it even possible to experience a significant inflammatory reaction? 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:21.000 Yeah, the experiments with just rats on a PUFA-free diet, a so-called essential fatty acid-free diet, all kinds of tests, poisons, physical trauma, disease, infectious agents. 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:28.000 They're just tremendously resistant to inflammation and dying. 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:38.000 Something as crude as holding them by the tail and whacking them on the furniture. 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:51.000 If they've been eating a standard fatty acid, PUFA-rich diet, they go into shock and inflammation and die. 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:59.000 If they don't have a noticeable amount of PUFA in their tissues, they are very tough. 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:08.000 I just want to see the ethical committee that approved this experiment. The description is we're going to be whacking rats on furniture. 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.000 So basically, without PUFA, most of the inflammatory reaction is gone. Is that what I'm hearing? 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:29.000 Right. The PUFA form many things leading to inflammation. Just the prostaglandins are a very powerful amplifier of inflammation. 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:48.000 Some little thing like hypoglycemia can start the formation of prostaglandins. And then once it starts, all kinds of things, cytokines and circulatory changes and such get involved. 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.000 Right. And then the leukotrienes and all the other things that are derived from PUFA? 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.000 Yeah. 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.000 Okay. 00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:03.000 Could you say something like the moment lactic acid is released out of the cell or something, that's the beginning of inflammation? Or is it much more complex than that? 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:31.000 Yeah. A shift away from oxidation of the PUFA will inhibit the ability to oxidize glucose. And at that moment, you're experiencing reductive stress or pseudo hypoxia, some people call it. 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:47.000 The oxygen is there, but you aren't using it. And that turns on lactic acid, which represents a reductive state, an excess of electrons. 00:20:47.000 --> 00:21:04.000 And that transmits the reductive stress wherever it goes, tends to convert other cells to that same stress state. 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:17.000 And speaking of reductive stress and the lack of oxygen, maybe I'm getting ahead of ourselves here, but the stem cell renewal in the aspect of what you wrote about the loss of stem cells. 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:37.000 Yeah. When you stop oxidizing glucose because of either low thyroid or some poison like nitric oxide or PUFA or carbon monoxide, 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:50.000 the enzymes simply stop reacting glucose and its derivatives with oxygen. 00:21:50.000 --> 00:22:18.000 And so the oxygen is still diffusing in from your bloodstream, but it's not being consumed. And so the animal that is feeling its respiration is actually becoming hyperoxic in the vicinity of those poison cells. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:33.000 And so hyperoxia is toxic to the mitochondria and changes the functions of the stem cells. 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:52.000 It's one of the things that brings stem cells out of their quiescent state and starts them dividing so that in an injury situation where the cell is going to die because it isn't oxidizing glucose, 00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:17.000 the stem cells can take over and replace the dead poison cell. But if the cell doesn't get out of the way, then the hyperoxia that has activated the stem cells is going to keep the multiplication going and produce a tumor. 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:39.000 But if it is continuously in great excess, then you start depleting the stem cells and then you have no renewability of that tissue. 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:48.000 So hyperoxia is an outcome of blocking the use of oxygen. 00:23:48.000 --> 00:24:01.000 So is carbon dioxide, the intracellular pH, is that the major signal for apoptosis of a barren cell and also the signal for the stem cells to start differentiating? 00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:06.000 The failure to produce carbon dioxide, yeah. 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:14.000 Right, so the presence of it will allow the barren cell to commit suicide basically, to apoptosis. 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:36.000 Yeah, its pH goes up, activating its own tendency to undergo cell division and then if there's no glucose available because it's being wasted, then that would be the normal thing that kills the cell. 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:42.000 Is that one mechanism through which the acetylzolomide drug helps shrink the tumors? 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.000 Potentially, yeah. 00:24:45.000 --> 00:25:01.000 And previously you've been asked about stem cell therapy and I don't want to misquote you, but you said something like "I think we're a big bag of stem cells" and so it's more of the environment of those stem cells than just adding a bunch more into the system? 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:13.000 Yeah, I don't think the idea of taking them out of one place and putting them in another is going to do much, if anything. 00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:35.000 If you said that the intrauterine environment is basically the ideal environment for an organism, then by extension once the organism is being born into this world, then if we want to maintain the same level of optimal health, we should live in an environment that mimics the intrauterine one, which is with a lot of glucose and a lot of carbon dioxide. Is that right? 00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:55.000 Yeah, and on a high mountain with a supply of good fruit, for example, your oxygen tension is lower at high altitude, closer to the fetal oxygen availability. 00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:16.000 And if you're healthy enough to adapt to high altitude, then your CO2 level internally goes up and prevents the hyperventilation increase of pH inside cells that kills them or ages them. 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:28.000 Is there an optimal range of altitude? Because clearly, just climbing up on top of Mount Everest, just to give an extreme example, that wouldn't be healthy. So it's got to be something more, I don't know, reasonable? 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:34.000 Yeah, 8,000 to 12,000 feet I think is good. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.000 Okay. 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:44.000 Going back a little bit on our chat about inflammation, is oxygen stress and inflammation, are those synonymous or interchangeable terms, rather? 00:26:44.000 --> 00:27:03.000 No, they usually talk about oxidative stress as making free radicals, but the thing that turns that on is often a block to the ability to use oxygen. 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:22.000 And so the traditional use of oxidative stress has been pretty confused, defining it as just pretty much equivalent to lipid peroxidation and free radical damage. 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:37.000 Do you know who came up with this term, oxidative stress? Because when I read the actual studies, at least the more modern versions, a lot of people are angry in those studies by saying, "Look, we're administering a drug that blocks the electron transport chain complex and creates oxidative stress." 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:47.000 So this term is completely bogus and wrong, yet it still carries on. Somebody must have coined this cultural term and supported it throughout the years in order for it to be so powerful. 00:27:47.000 --> 00:28:07.000 Yeah, I think it goes back to Raymond Pearl and Johns Hopkins, a bunch of reductionists, basically an anti-life thing that the slower you live, the longer you live. 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:28.000 Cooling off and being half dead, according to that view, is the way to live longer. Leonard Hayflick was in that line of thinking, just the most absurd and mechanical view of what life is. 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:45.000 Even though he worked for a big cell culture company, he didn't have the faintest idea about how to do proper cell culture. Their goal was just to produce cells to sell them. 00:28:45.000 --> 00:29:05.000 He didn't realize that growing 50 generations in a dish is not at all comparable to the living state in an organism. 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:26.000 People fell for that shortening telomere idea that cells necessarily, every division, shorten their telomere and have a maximum division capability of 50 cell divisions. 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:44.000 Back in the 60s, people tested that and showed that our skin and intestine, for example, would use up those 50 cell divisions of our stem cells in just a few weeks or months. 00:29:44.000 --> 00:30:01.000 And grafting experiments found that different organs, like mammary glands, could undergo essentially an infinite number of cell divisions when they're in an organism, 00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:30.000 supporting the Rockefeller University experiments of growing chicken heart cells, keeping them alive for more than 20 years, just by renewing their environmental solution properly, not letting elastic acid accumulate. 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:45.000 Do you think some of those ideas of the rate of living theory may have been inspired by the second law of thermodynamics and the steam presses from the England's Industrial Revolution saying, "If you keep your machines cooler, they will last longer"? 00:30:45.000 --> 00:31:05.000 Exactly. It's all mechanical thinking. And that mechanical thinking, like N. A. Kosiris, looking at the history of these physical ideas, showed that it was a belief, 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:32.000 basically in a big bang creationist universe, that if you believe there was a creation of the universe in one moment, then you can deduce that one-directional running down of the universe. 00:31:32.000 --> 00:32:01.000 The idea of a watchmaker, a god who set the universe clock in motion, all a clock can do if God wound it up at one point is run until it loses the wind-up energy. 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:09.000 And so the universe, from that religious viewpoint, can do nothing but run down. 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:34.000 And N. A. Kosiris showed that if you don't make those religious assumptions, then you can explain the stellar energy source, the fact that all of the planets have an internal production of energy, 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:48.000 even the giant gaseous planets turn out to be producing internal energy like a star developing. 00:32:48.000 --> 00:33:11.000 So I guess all these people, the religious fanatics, they observed that time passes forward, and the way they explained it was with the big bang and the unwinding of the clock, instead of the opposite, which is the Kosiris idea of the continuous creation, which is that there's more time as time goes by, because time is a property of matter. 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:34.000 Right. And even Fred Soddy, the inventor of the isotope interpretation of atoms, even he, in one of his later books, described his thinking for continuous creation. 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:41.000 He believed cosmic rays were the atoms just coming into existence. 00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:57.000 >> Okay. So basically time and space are essentially, both are properties of this prima mater which Aristotle talked about, the pure potential. Does that ring true? 00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:58.000 >> Yep. 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:19.000 >> Okay. Jumping back to your newsletter, Ray, and I apologize, I know you've talked about this 100,000 million times, but the idea that tissue injury kind of invites the virus or the bacteria or the fungus, and they're not necessarily harmful in and of themselves, is that correct? 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:25.000 And then I feel like you probably can't talk about that enough today at this time. 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:48.000 >> Yes. And I'm in this newsletter suggesting the probability that the so-called viruses are little packets of nuclear material being exchanged throughout the world by every organism. 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:59.000 And bacteria do it visibly, transmitting the information that they invented themselves to their friends. 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:16.000 And every organism you look at is actually circulating exosomes, packets of information, within themselves in a repair and regenerative process. 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:26.000 But all of their body fluids contain those same exosomes and are being released into the environment constantly. 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:35.000 And so every organism is emitting these packets that are virus-like in structure. 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:49.000 >> If an inflamed cell has an abundance of electrons because its metabolism is being blocked by something, could a viral or bacteria infection act as a sort of like an emergency electron sink in some fashion? 00:35:49.000 --> 00:36:02.000 >> Yeah, when the system is working well. I think that's going on all the time. You can transmit actual mitochondria in those packets. 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:08.000 >> What kind of exosomes and what kind of things would people be emitting when they actually do take the vaccine? 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:18.000 Like, a question I've been asked many times is, if a person gets the vaccine, are they actually more harmful to be around, do you think? 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:45.000 >> Yeah, the purpose of the adjuvant, which had always been aluminum hydroxide, was to create systemic inflammation to stir up excitement so that your body would start making antibodies to anything novel that was present. 00:36:45.000 --> 00:37:09.000 And they talk about the lipids in these RNA vaccines as transport or mediators of cellular uptake for the RNA, but actually they're the same lipids that have been promoted for use as adjuvant. 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:24.000 So they're just a lipid version of an adjuvant intended to create systemic inflammation big enough to get you to produce antibodies. 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:38.000 And the antibody producing system, I don't think it's properly considered to be part of the immune system. 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:57.000 The whole process should be maintenance of our structural functional system, and the antibodies are part of a cleanup system. 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:12.000 You have, for example, natural killer cells that will remove damaged cells, killing them so the parts can be removed. 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:37.000 And when you have a tissue that isn't quite ready to have the natural killer cells destroy the damaged substance, you have antibodies that are helping to mop up and control and prepare, 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:53.000 clean up the area so that phagocytes can remove the debris and restore some of the cells to normal functioning without having to kill them. 00:38:53.000 --> 00:39:00.000 So if somebody was vaccinated, would that be risky to be around them? 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:09.000 Being around sick people, inflamed people, I think always has more risk. 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:18.000 In the winter, people going indoors, staying indoors, and breathing the same air. 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:43.000 Once one person is under stress, they're going to be putting out more exosomes, and if their exosomes happen to be coming out of stressed cells rather than the normal low oxygen stem cell sources, 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:50.000 then their exosomes can be irritating and spread through inflammation. 00:39:50.000 --> 00:40:07.000 Do you think that might explain why nurses working in specific hospital wards, in general medical personnel that spend a lot of time with those sick people, tend to come down with similar conditions if they spend years in those same wards? 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:09.000 I think so. 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:15.000 And you described maybe a person being around you, but what happens when a population is like it? 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:27.000 I guess we're already in a sick population, so can it be that much worse if everybody is vaccinated and, I don't know, spreading and exchanging with these inflammatory materials? 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:38.000 I think everything the medical system is doing tends to degrade the whole population a little. 00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:56.000 Speaking of degrading the whole population, so Ray, somebody you've mentioned on previous shows was Mike Yudon, who is a former Pfizer VP and Chief Science Officer, and a topic that you and I, I think, first talked about this in 2017, and I know you've been studying it for a lot longer than that, but he said, 00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:14.000 "It's my considerate view that it's entirely possible that coronavirus vaccines will be used for massive-scale depopulation." And so given your insights of how these things are formulated or how they're said to be formulated, do you think he might be onto something there? 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:39.000 Oh yeah, the possibility is there, and when you look at the lying, deliberate breaking of the law of high government officials, World Health Organization, CDC, and the top levels of foundations like the Gates Foundation, 00:41:39.000 --> 00:42:01.000 you see them deliberately misleading the population. I think it's odd to assume that they wouldn't be trying to execute what they've expressed as their long-range goals, population reduction, 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:29.000 since they have the means now, and since they've demonstrated that they're morally corrupt, and basically profiting from misleading the public to assume that they're not criminal on multiple levels, I think would be a mistake. 00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:42.000 And this is something we've talked about. This is like a, I'm using air quotes right here, but an open conspiracy. It's like the culture of the Pentagon and the CIA and the WEF and WHO and CDC, all these institutions. 00:42:42.000 --> 00:43:03.000 It's like depopulation isn't a radical idea. It's just kind of the status quo, and it's not an insane idea among the people that populate these institutions, but when you talk to somebody off the street, "Oh, they want to depopulate," it's like, "What? No, that's impossible. How can they do that?" 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:13.000 There's so many immediate objections to that, but what we've talked about before, it's not controversial at all among those people that I just mentioned. 00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:27.000 >> Yeah, and that attitude is exactly what you need to keep them as not believing that it's possible while it's going on. 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:40.000 Didn't Kissinger state as far back as the '70s that basically there can be only one destiny for the third world, and that is extermination at the hands of the powers that be, of the Western powers? 00:43:40.000 --> 00:44:09.000 >> Yeah, I think that policy was basically decided when Roosevelt died. Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie had a meeting and decided on a post-war policy of bringing the third world up to the rest of society. 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:15.000 Making them independent and affluent and prosperous. 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:30.000 Right after the meeting, Willkie died unexpectedly of a cold. 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:48.000 Within just a few days of the revelation that Dulles and the whole organization were working with the Nazis, Roosevelt died in a very timely way. 00:44:48.000 --> 00:45:08.000 And immediately the policies towards the third world changed radically from giving the equivalent of a Marshall Plan to bring up all of the third world countries to a good standard of living. 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:15.000 That immediately changed back to the empire of exploiting them to death. 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:27.000 >> Stalin saw what happened to Roosevelt, didn't buy for a second what the official story was, and would that explain why the Soviet Union became much more hard-line afterwards? He realized what he's up against? 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:41.000 >> Yeah, and even some of Roosevelt's relatives agreed with Stalin that it was an assassination. 00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:51.000 >> Speaking of assassination, Ray, do you want to comment on John Magu Fuli and the very likelihood that he was killed in some way? 00:45:51.000 --> 00:46:03.000 >> He was the second African president who had opposed vaccinations who died suddenly. 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:07.000 >> The first one was Mugabe, the Zimbabwean? Or no? 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:21.000 >> I forget the previous one, just a few months before, but they were both very antagonistic to the World Health Organization and the vaccine campaigns. 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:28.000 >> Because African Americans are woke to Western medical intervention, you think? 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:37.000 >> Probably more than other countries because they've had more horrible experiences. 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:58.000 >> This is mind-blowing to me, but to you, this has been happening forever. These very critical people of the establishment just passing away instantaneously, and I doubt there's going to be any BLM marches or anything about the death of Magu Fuli. 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:05.000 >> No, I haven't heard very much public discussion of it. 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:19.000 >> We'll continue this chat. Let me do an advertisement here really quickly. We're discussing Ray's newsletter, which is available by email now. It's $28 U.S., and you can send that to rayPeats@gmail.com. 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:30.000 You can also order books by Ray, his "Gender of Energy" book, "1994 from PMS to Menopause." When was that written, Ray? 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:36.000 >> In the early '80s, I think it was. 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:44.000 >> '80s, and then "Nutrition for Women," 1973, and then "Mind and Tissue 2." When was that written? 00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:52.000 >> 1973 was when I wrote "Mind and Tissue" a little before "Nutrition for Women," I think. 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:59.000 >> Okay, so you can send that email address and the name of the book, and I still have the wrong prices on here, so they should be cheaper. 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:13.000 And then, like last time, I just wanted to mention Progest-E from Kenogen, and you can email Catherine at Kenogen@gmail.com, and each bottle is 3,400 milligrams of progesterone. 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:19.000 And Ray, just want to maybe comment on your thoughts on Progest-E. 00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:42.000 >> More men are starting to use it, and you've probably heard the result of the injecting, I think it was micronized progesterone subcutaneously in men who were infected seriously with COVID. 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.000 >> Yeah, yeah, we talked about it a little bit last time. 00:48:44.000 --> 00:49:00.000 >> A study ended and was published finally that it did improve their survival, so that is increasing the interest of men in using it. 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:18.000 I had probably discouraged men for a long time when I described how a big dose of it is like a cold shower and shrinks the penis, but that effect passes in about one or two days. 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:32.000 So, with the proper dosing, it actually increases libido and keeps testosterone from being wasted and turned into estrogen. 00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:38.000 So, it's actually a very important part of the male system. 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.000 >> I'm actually glad you brought that up. 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.000 So, we have a large 20s, 30s, 40s male listenership. 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:49.000 So, one, how much progesterone does a healthy male make? 00:49:49.000 --> 00:50:01.000 And then, I know this is extremely individual, but is there any way to go about dosing progesterone for a male, and what should they expect when they use it? 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:14.000 >> The basic mechanism is that it promotes, a given dose promotes its own synthesis in the body, 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:29.000 and partly that's because it facilitates the secretion of thyroid hormone, which is part of the conversion of cholesterol to progesterone. 00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:40.000 And partly because it inhibits the enzyme aromatase that converts androgens to estrogen. 00:50:40.000 --> 00:51:01.000 And it supports the internal system of getting the vitamin A and thyroid together with the cholesterol, so that often during pregnancy, 00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:20.000 if a woman is seriously deficient in progesterone, one single big dose will sometimes set the pregnancy back on the normal course of producing progesterone at an increasing rate for the full nine months. 00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:43.000 Sometimes it takes two injections, but the principle is that when you get the right amount at one moment, your thyroid and gonads and skin and brain, everything gets back on the track to produce enough of your own progesterone. 00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:53.000 So it isn't a hormone replacement matter, but it's a stress correction process. 00:51:53.000 --> 00:52:03.000 You stop the stress, and if you're well nourished, the organism gets back to its production. 00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:18.000 I have a question. I get a lot of questions from parents who are considering using Progest-E in children. Do you have any reservations, misgivings about giving little children progesterone, in Progest-E specifically? 00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:41.000 Very premature babies, their brain growth is protected, sort of like imitating intrauterine conditions, to give them a little progesterone for the first few months of their life to keep the brain developing. 00:52:41.000 --> 00:53:04.000 That probably can be beneficial if there has been stress so that they had some deficiency of progesterone that could be continued right up through all of the time breastfeeding is going on. 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:17.000 If the mother normalizes her progesterone, the progesterone level of the milk will be adequate, and that will help the baby's brain develop. 00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:43.000 But if you give it to a boy just as their puberty is coming on, you potentially, by giving too much for too long, you could delay their development sexually probably. 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:58.000 I don't know if that's ever happening, but I think it's good to think of it as a restorative starting up support rather than a continuing maintenance. 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:08.000 The specific question I'm getting is that a lot of parents are concerned that during the pregnancy the mother was under stress, received vaccines, was working really hard. 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:16.000 So basically they're saying now their children that are born and becoming three, four, five years old, they're seeing some signs that are indicative of a stress imprint. 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:24.000 Like the child is gaining weight, and while the parents are normal weight, the child is having food allergies while the parents don't have them. 00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:31.000 Some of them have had really good success with progest-E, and they keep asking me questions. 00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:47.000 Are there any concerns about using progest-E sporadically on a child that's small, aside from delaying puberty? Would there be a problem in terms of somehow disbalancing their hormonal status if it's used for a few months or so? 00:54:47.000 --> 00:55:08.000 No. It's possible to suppress the formation of testosterone if you take really big doses, but when you do it by symptoms, five or ten milligrams a day can alleviate symptoms. 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:17.000 Sometimes one dose of 20 milligrams can just cure the problem. It doesn't have to be repeated. 00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:35.000 But you should always go by watching the effects of it because they are very obvious when you're having progesterone deficiency symptoms, very similar to low T3 symptoms. 00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:44.000 You should see the results happening within five or ten minutes or at most an hour. 00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:54.000 So you can take a drop or two, wait ten or fifteen minutes, and if you still have the symptoms, then you can repeat it. 00:55:54.000 --> 00:56:06.000 How much progesterone daily do you think a healthy child is producing at that age, like before the teens, like a child up to ten years of age, male or female? 00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:13.000 Probably somewhere between ten and thirty milligrams. 00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:21.000 So that would be essentially, up to that would be a good replacement dosage if the parent thinks there's an issue and they want to try it? 00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:38.000 Yeah, the thirty milligrams is a very strong dose. That's the dose that can temporarily shrink a man's penis by blocking testosterone. 00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:51.000 But five or ten milligrams is usually a very adequate corrective anti-stress dose. 00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:57.000 But for a little girl, those concerns are not present, right? It shouldn't be an issue? 00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:08.000 No, I just don't think the larger amounts are necessary because it stimulates its own corrective production. 00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:15.000 For a hypothyroid child at that age, do you think progesterone would be safer to try first than jumping directly on thyroid? 00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:39.000 No, usually I think it's good to use a small amount of thyroid as if you're eating a traditional diet, eating boiled whole fish or soup made out of all the parts of a chicken or whatever. 00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:51.000 That would be giving you maybe a fourth to a half a grain of thyroid every day just as part of your meat diet. 00:57:51.000 --> 00:58:04.000 Really, that small amount of thyroid should just be a standard part of nutrition. 00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:27.000 The government in the early 1940s required the meat producers to remove the thyroid, setting up a situation in which our diet is pretty free of the natural amount of thyroid unless you drink a large amount of milk. 00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:34.000 Even cow's milk contains a moderate helpful amount of thyroid hormone. 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:38.000 What about fish head soup? They're not removing the thyroid from that, right? 00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:47.000 Right, right. If you have a fish market, that will include the heads. 00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:57.000 I've been receiving more and more people saying they have wild experiences with Cynoplus. 00:58:57.000 --> 00:59:05.000 If somebody did feel like that, would you say to try a higher ratio of T3 to T4? 00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:09.000 Would you suggest aspirin? Would you suggest progesterone? 00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:19.000 Maybe if they were interpreting the symptoms correctly, it being liver related, is that something that you receive messages about? 00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:46.000 Yeah, usually the problem is that they don't go at it gradually enough. It should increase gradually over a period of two or three months, steadily increasing, watching your temperature and pulse rate and adjusting the dose according to those. 00:59:46.000 --> 01:00:01.000 If you jump right in with what you think is going to be your dose, that's when you're more susceptible to building up too much T4. 01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:15.000 What about, so as we go through time here and as people get progressively sicker and sicker, would you see an issue, more and more of an issue with a one to four ratio as people get sicker and sicker? 01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:29.000 I've known many people who benefited from going up to about a one to two ratio, 01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:49.000 having that little bit of T4 to help hold down their TSH during the night when the TSH contributes to the stress experience. 01:00:49.000 --> 01:01:09.000 The bedtime T4 will minimize that and still they're getting a good amount of T3, enough that that will keep their blood sugar up so that they don't fail to convert to T4. 01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:19.000 Great stuff. Man, I just had a blank. I wanted to ask you one other question about this. Oh, I remember I was going to say, I have been saying this wrong for 10 years. 01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:30.000 And you have mentioned it many times, I think because when I go to the Armour website and I'd read what a grain was, it was about like nine micrograms of T3, maybe 38 micrograms of T4. 01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:42.000 And so I always thought that was a grain, but now I understand that a Cynoplus is about, and correct me if I'm wrong, but 12.5 micrograms of T3 and maybe 50 micrograms of T4. 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:47.000 And then a fourth of a Cynoplus is about a half, a little more than half a grain. Is that right? 01:01:47.000 --> 01:02:04.000 Close to that, yeah. And the original Armour thyroid, the ratio in one publication was close to three to one rather than four to one. 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:23.000 And they didn't talk about the amount of T4 or T3. They apparently had done it without even knowing the existence of T3 and T2 for so long. 01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:42.000 They were relying on testing the biological effects on mice. Every batch they would mix up thyroids from different cows or pigs, whichever it was, and they produced both. 01:02:42.000 --> 01:03:01.000 You could buy beef or pork thyroid from Armour and each of them was batch standardized to give a reliable physiological effect on mice. 01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:29.000 So they didn't care what the T4 and T3 content was. It was the biological effect. They were defining their grains and they would dilute it accordingly with, I think, lactose and stearic acid or magnesium stearate to glue the tablets together. 01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:39.000 - Great stuff, George, if you didn't have a question, maybe we'll take a user, or why do I keep saying a user question? Like a watcher, listener question? Okay, well, let me play this one. 01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:46.000 Let me know if you can hear this right. This one's from Sheila and it's about children and school. 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.000 - Hey, Dr. Peat. - You can hear that right, right? 01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:52.000 - Yep. - Okay. 01:03:52.000 --> 01:04:06.000 - Hey, Dr. Peat, this is Sheila. I have a middle school daughter who is remote learning for about a year now due to lockdown restrictions. 01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:20.000 And she is understandably failing behaviorally and academically. Good grades, but just we're seeing her fade away. 01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:46.000 And my concern is, for me moving forward, trusting what our state offers us and our district offers us academically and how they're going about teaching and then in the future, just investing in colleges. 01:04:46.000 --> 01:05:05.000 And I guess what I'm asking is, how do I align my expectations with the reality of what the future is going to look like educationally for these children? Thank you. 01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:26.000 I think the thing is to work on trying to get the alignment back to the human concept of what education is via a computer. 01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:44.000 Not only a standardized curriculum, but standardized methods and format. Everything is being standardized out of normal human reality. 01:05:44.000 --> 01:06:04.000 That just doesn't work in the long run. If you accept it, then I think you're strengthening an irrational system. 01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:17.000 I think everyone has to start rejecting digital education, artificial intelligence, as well as standardized curricula. 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:37.000 This is semi-related, but I heard an interesting theory about the mask that they're trying to monopolize human interaction online. And this might be actually completely obvious. 01:06:37.000 --> 01:07:00.000 Does that seem reasonable to you? 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:19.000 I suppose that puts people more under the control. If you start having the wrong kind of interactions, it'll be like the censorship of YouTube and Facebook and Twitter. 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:33.000 If they heard everyone under their computers, then they not only know what everyone is doing, but they can weed out the ones who aren't doing it right. 01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:42.000 Speaking of, do you think the part of the lockdowns was to get everybody in front of a screen and to kind of consume the fake news as it is? 01:07:42.000 --> 01:08:04.000 Yeah. The whole factory system starting 200 years ago was a way of getting people under central control. 01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:13.000 Gradually, they realized that that put them together where they had an opportunity to unionize. 01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:35.000 Now, the shift to the computer communication, one of the obvious things it does is to make it impossible to have direct contact and organized unions. 01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:47.000 Do you remember around 2006 or 2007 when Google was coming up with virtual reality glasses? 01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:55.000 Somebody asked one of the founders, "Why would you come up with something like that to mimic reality? Isn't reality more than enough for us?" 01:08:55.000 --> 01:09:05.000 The response was, "Who would want to live in this world? Look at how terrible it is. When you put on this virtual reality device, you go into a better world and it's better for you. 01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:10.000 Basically, you have the entire world under your full control." 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:15.000 They've been kind of working on this for a while now and marketing along the same lines. 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:30.000 The World Economic Forum people have said that basically human teachers are doing a low-quality job of teaching and communicating. 01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:51.000 We can have the best courses in the world. We can essentially have a monopoly on the courses and the curriculum because we'll choose the best lecturers and put them on artificial intelligence programs. 01:09:51.000 --> 01:10:06.000 People can then experience all the best in the world, travel by artificial intelligence, and have all of these experiences, 01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:29.000 which happen to be owned by the monopoly and controlled to reinforce the monopoly, absolutely making any kind of labor consumer organization impossible. 01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:44.000 Do you think some of the drive to really destroy the world around us, at least part of the impetus maybe to turn people off to the real world around them and drive them in mass towards more and more digital embracement? 01:10:44.000 --> 01:11:12.000 Yeah, that's exactly what Schwab of the World Economic Forum has said. The sooner we can destroy this old-fashioned legacy economy, the sooner people will realize how great it is to buy only online, to study online, to get medical treatment online. 01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:37.000 Actually, it has said that Schmidt, formerly of Google and the Pentagon, and then advising the New York governor on how wonderful it will be to destroy the system of actual school buildings, 01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:45.000 hospitals, and medical clinics, and have it all done online. 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:53.000 Recently, CNN had a front-page article saying, "With all of the advances of technology, why leave the house at all?" 01:11:53.000 --> 01:12:03.000 I thought, "Wow, they actually said it." They had all these arguments like, "Why would you go to the grocery store where all these yucky, sweaty, whatnot people are rubbing against you? 01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:06.000 Why would you go to a sports event? Why would you go to the pub?" 01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:14.000 All of these things you can have at your home, fully delivered, everything online, and you don't need to leave the house ever again. 01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:17.000 That was front-page news on CNN about two weeks ago. 01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:19.000 Where was it? 01:12:19.000 --> 01:12:22.000 CNN. It was front-page news on CNN. 01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:38.000 Oh, yeah. One of the most horrible lines of the World Economic Forum people is, "You will own nothing. You will rent everything, and you'll be happy." 01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:46.000 Only if you take your happy pills, because I don't know how a normal person would be happy under conditions like that. 01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:59.000 Do you think the governor of New York is being used as a scapegoat, thrown under the bus to prevent the discovery of bigger crimes that went on during the severe lockdowns? 01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:23.000 He's a willing conspirator by bringing in Schmidt as an advisor. I don't think he's a fair-minded, good person. 01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:33.000 He was at the forefront of the pandemic. He was the biggest proponent of the lockdowns. It was on CNN and all the media 24/7. 01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:40.000 Now, it seems like they're trying to "me too" him. In other words, all of these accusers came out of nowhere. 01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:45.000 I don't doubt their stories, but it seems like the establishment is trying to throw him under the bus. 01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:58.000 The story is that apparently other states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota had much worse geriatric genocide at elderly care homes. 01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:05.000 Now, they're trying to throw Cuomo under the bus to put a lid on the story or at least give the public a scapegoat. 01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:17.000 If the full story becomes known, how many elderly people would be massacred by introducing sick people into their homes? People would just revolt. 01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:37.000 They should get rid of him for his actual crimes, but if they can shift the attention to whatever womanizing he was doing, that's a way to cover up what he was actually doing. 01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:56.000 >> Georgie, do you remember? Georgie and I sometimes trade emails on dark subjects, but something I felt like important that Georgie said and that opened up my brain was that if the public knew what these people were actually doing, they'd be hung out in the streets. 01:14:56.000 --> 01:15:17.000 That's why they need to censor everyone and close down everything, because if people actually knew what the pedophilia type of things, and we were reading really disturbing things. Ray, are you aware of the Finders, the CIA project? 01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:41.000 >> Oh yeah, I met the guy. He contacted Blake College and offered to provide buildings for Blake College, and so I drove to that place near Washington, D.C. and met him. 01:15:41.000 --> 01:16:06.000 It was a fraud, basically. He didn't say it. He said he would be willing to provide 10 adjacent buildings for the use of Blake College, but then it turned out he wanted us to finance his project. 01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:16.000 >> You're blowing my mind right now. So this was obviously pre-them getting caught in the park with those dirty children or whatever? 01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:23.000 >> Yeah, it was 1964 when I met him. Petty was his last name. 01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:29.000 >> That was way before that. Didn't they get caught maybe in the 90s or something? Or am I on a timeline off? 01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:38.000 >> The kids in the park thing, I think, was in the late 80s, maybe 90s. 01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:48.000 >> But the thing George and I were, like the really disgusting part was the parents offering up their children for, and so we had read things. 01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:53.000 >> As a proof that you're part, and you're going to be loyal, basically you have to give up your children. 01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:55.000 >> Yeah. 01:16:55.000 --> 01:17:02.000 >> Yeah, that's disgusting. Sorry, go ahead. 01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:12.000 >> I don't really understand what was going on, but definitely they were working for the CIA, and he was definitely a sleaze. 01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:23.000 >> So basically, do you think we've reached the point of no return, basically a sufficient portion of the American public is aware, or at least deeply suspicious of what's going on. 01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:37.000 So there's no way to bring these people back into the system as believers, so now it's basically a war of who's going to fight for survival between the elite and the truly woke. 01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:53.000 >> Yeah, and the truly woke have to get their act together and stop being so independent, anarchist, libertarian, whatever, that doesn't want to organize. 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:59.000 They've just got to start doing some organizing. 01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:15.000 >> One last question. So this is just like the, you've had lots of interactions, like secretly, not your secret, but how many times do you think you've had interactions with the CIA undercover in different situations? 01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:32.000 >> Yeah, I've suspected some and had some confirmed, but you never know who else might be actually committed to them. 01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:39.000 >> So it looks like the CIA has been violating the Act against domestic spying for decades. They basically just don't care, right? 01:18:39.000 --> 01:19:06.000 >> Yeah, yeah. And my friend who I met because I became his surveillance subject many years later after his wife being very drunk after what work he was doing, and she said, "The same as always." 01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:13.000 And I said, "Oh, what was that?" And she said, "Surveillance." He had never mentioned that. 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:27.000 So later I asked him what group he was working for, CIA or NSA or Naval Intelligence, I think I mentioned. He said, "None of those. I'll tell you when I retire." 01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:29.000 >> Wow. 01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:31.000 >> But then he died. 01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:39.000 >> I see. So just a personal question, Ray, when you go out to these parties, do you drink with these people or do you let them get wasted and then you ask your questions? 01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:42.000 >> Yeah, no, I don't drink. 01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:44.000 >> At all? 01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:50.000 >> Ray, how quickly did you know the finders dude was totally full of it when you were talking to him? 01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:52.000 >> How quickly? 01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:54.000 >> Yeah, yeah. 01:19:54.000 --> 01:19:59.000 >> As soon as we met, basically. 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:02.000 >> What was the tip off? 01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:08.000 >> His sort of greasy manner. 01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:10.000 >> Right. 01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:19.000 >> Obviously no character, just an absolute ball of sleaze. 01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:28.000 >> I'm glad I brought that up. That's really interesting. Okay, let's take another question here. This one's from, I think, Johan? Okay, here we go. 01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:41.000 >> Hello, everyone. Hello, Danny, Georgie. Hello, Ray. So I have a question regarding the loss of smell and taste people often seem to experience when getting infected by this new coronavirus. 01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:55.000 I have several friends that have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the last year, and these people are young and otherwise pretty healthy in general, and almost all of them have experienced some loss of smell and taste. 01:20:55.000 --> 01:21:11.000 And some of them have problems maybe seven to eight months later after being ill. And I read that a study had been done showing that 50 to 80% of people that get the virus experience these kinds of problems. 01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:26.000 And I think this seems to be a real issue, you know, and I'm actually a bit surprised that this doesn't seem to be discussed so much in the health sphere, despite what one may think of the pandemic in general or the restrictions being implemented by different countries. 01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:39.000 This issue seems to be of some real concern to public health. You know, the people I talk to suffers from the lack of enjoyment they feel towards food. They lose their appetites, lose weight, and so on. 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:51.000 And taste and smell are so important to assess the quality of the foods and drinks that you ingest. So I just wanted to know what are your thoughts on this? Do you think this is some kind of neurological damage going on? 01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:56.000 Do you think this will be a case of concern for the general public? 01:21:56.000 --> 01:22:25.000 Yeah. Colds and influenza have always affected the sense of taste and smell, sometimes for longer than others. But that type of respiratory infection, a very common symptom was loss of those senses. 01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:49.000 And stress, one of the things that happens in stress is that the metallothionein protein is increased and it binds necessary essential metals like zinc and copper, as well as any toxic metals that you're exposed to. 01:22:49.000 --> 01:23:07.000 And I think the loss of zinc is one of the things affecting the sensory apparatus. It's an essential component of carbonic anhydrase enzyme. 01:23:07.000 --> 01:23:31.000 And I think that in nerve endings and sensory organs, carbonic anhydrase is important for regulating sensitivity. And zinc deficiency has been associated closely with the loss of taste. 01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:48.000 Do you think elevated serotonin has something to do with it as well, considering that basically now we know that COVID-19 is, at least a very heavy case, the severe cases that are associated with essentially a moderate version of serotonin syndrome. 01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:57.000 And several human studies show that when you give anti-serotonin drugs, there is a remarkable increase in both visual and other acuity. 01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:06.000 Yeah, and one of the very most frequent symptoms of the COVID infection is diarrhea. 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:25.000 And anti-serotonin agents such as cyproheptadine have been very helpful for preventing COVID diarrhea, which is undoubtedly a part of the serotonin excess problem. 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:46.000 And the hyperventilation syndrome, disturbed regulation of oxygen, carbon dioxide balance, leads to the inability of the platelets to transport serotonin. 01:24:46.000 --> 01:25:03.000 And so they leak serotonin and it increases the systemic activity of serotonin and that poisons all kinds of systems. 01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:13.000 So do you think the elevated serotonin may have, in addition to the zinc depletion, do you think elevated serotonin may have some direct neurotoxic effect that may contribute to the loss of smell and taste? 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:24.000 Oh yeah, and it increases the tendency to have blood clots and inflammation of blood vessels. 01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:33.000 Yeah, the reason I'm asking is because it's a very common side effect for people taking SSRI drugs to lose a significant portion of their sense of smell or taste. 01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:36.000 So it seems serotonin does have that direct effect. 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:49.000 And you mentioned suppressing the renin, angiotensin, aldosterone system with vitamin D, but doesn't zinc also have a part in that in some way, shape, or form? 01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:51.000 In what system? 01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:57.000 Doesn't the RAS, the renin, angiotensin, aldosterone system? 01:25:57.000 --> 01:26:13.000 Oh, yeah, I think the stress reaction is by deranging your carbonic anhydrase. 01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:18.000 That's going to be a basic pro-inflammatory thing. 01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:27.000 Great stuff. Since we started late, Ray, I'll let you go very soon. So let's take maybe a question or two more, and then we'll call it a night. 01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:38.000 But guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us Friday. Thank you, Ray, for making this possible. I apologize for starting late and totally blowing the time on this. All my fault. 01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:41.000 Georgie Dinkov, thank you so much, my partner in crime. I sincerely appreciate it. 01:26:41.000 --> 01:26:42.000 No problem. 01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:47.000 Okay, let's take – this one is from Ruth. Okay, here we go. 01:26:47.000 --> 01:27:02.000 Hi, Dr. Peat. Have you heard Geert van den Bosch's theory of immunoscape regarding the COVID mRNA vaccines? And if you have, do you have an opinion on it? Thanks. 01:27:02.000 --> 01:27:05.000 What was the first part of the question? 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:13.000 Actually, don't – something's immunoscape. Some person's – do you know what it was, Georgie? 01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:14.000 Can you play it again? 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:15.000 Yeah, here we go. 01:27:15.000 --> 01:27:22.000 Hi, Dr. Peat. Have you heard Geert van den Bosch's theory of immunoscape regarding the COVID – 01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:25.000 Geert van den Bosch's immunoscape? 01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:49.000 Geert van den Bosch. Yeah, he's just talking about the standard thing that if you make a vaccine and the viruses – everywhere in a pandemic, a lot of the viruses are going to mutate, as they would anyway. 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:58.000 But the ones that have the greatest opportunity to keep replicating are the ones that have mutated. 01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:21.000 And so using the vaccine, any vaccine in the midst of a pandemic naturally is going to favor the mutant versions of the virus, some of which could be more damaging than one the vaccine is working against. 01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:29.000 So he's talking just about standard understanding of virology. 01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:45.000 And people have attacked him as trying to promote his own vaccine, but I think his vaccine work was for protecting chickens from tumor viruses, something like that. 01:28:45.000 --> 01:29:12.000 So he doesn't have a financial stake in this, but he just understands virology enough that he says, "Why doesn't someone talk about why we don't start applying standard virological principles to the use of these vaccines and stop using them, basically?" 01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:15.000 Great stuff. Let's do this last one. Go ahead, Geert. 01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:35.000 One question. In terms of these tumor-causing viruses, do you think these viruses are anything special in terms of having a particular carcinogenic effect, or do you think they're just inhibiting respiration, which activates the stem cell system, and then basically as long as respiration is inhibited, these things tend to turn into tumors? Or are they actually truly carcinogenic viruses? 01:29:35.000 --> 01:30:02.000 I think there are resistant individuals to any virus, but there are some viruses like plant and animal viruses, some of them have a greater impact on more individuals. 01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:11.000 So what would be the carcinogenic effect from, let's say, one of the sarcoma viruses that the rumors they use to kill Hugo Chavez? 01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:27.000 I think that was a gene transmitted by a bacterium, and it just creates a very intense inflammation. 01:30:27.000 --> 01:30:50.000 I think the proper approach always is to use all of the anti-inflammatory tools that you have, high sugar, aspirin, progesterone, vitamin D, antihistamines, antiserotonin agents. 01:30:50.000 --> 01:31:02.000 I think if you flood the system with those, you have a chance to overcome whatever pro-inflammatory thing you've introduced. 01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:15.000 So speaking of flooding the system, now that the mRNA vaccine is essentially turning people into these highly inflammatory producing machines, do you think that vaccine may lead to cancer for some people? 01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:43.000 Yeah, very likely, when you have tens of millions of people subjected to it, and already the reporting system for vaccine injury, studies have shown that fewer than one in a hundred injuries has been reported historically, 01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:58.000 and already there are reports of more than 2,000 deaths, several thousand major debilitating injuries, and tens of thousands of other reactions. 01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:07.000 So if you multiply those numbers by a hundred, you see that lots of damage is being done. 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:22.000 But specifically the mRNA vaccine, unlike the others which maybe trigger an inflammatory reaction that may last a few days, even a month, this one seems to turn us into machines for producing this inflammatory spike protein, and this will be ongoing. 01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:35.000 Yeah, the ACE2 protein is our major anti-inflammatory system, right at the heart of the angiotensin system. 01:32:35.000 --> 01:32:46.000 It destroys angiotensin, and as important as angiotensin is in all of the inflammatory degenerative diseases, 01:32:46.000 --> 01:33:04.000 if you destroy the enzyme that destroys angiotensin, that's just about the most dangerous thing you can do to knock out our anti-inflammatory basic system. 01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:10.000 Wow, okay, so basically cancer here we come, I mean as far as the mRNA vaccines are concerned? 01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:29.000 Yeah, all kinds of degenerative things. If people keep producing the spike protein, that will keep knocking out the anti-inflammatory system as long as the DNA and RNA are in their system. 01:33:29.000 --> 01:33:38.000 So the rapid increase in the rates of all kinds of degenerative diseases, how do you think they will explain this away? Simply not count the stats and conceal it? 01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:46.000 Weren't they targeting VAERS and saying it was like, there was something I saw that they were saying that wasn't accurate or something. 01:33:46.000 --> 01:33:48.000 What was what? 01:33:48.000 --> 01:34:03.000 The VAERS, isn't that the database of vaccine injury? I saw something from some news and they were trying to say that that wasn't accurate because there are so many injuries. 01:34:03.000 --> 01:34:25.000 Well, the studies of going around and looking at doctors and hospitals and looking up actual injuries, they found that not one in a hundred of the vaccine related injuries had been reported. 01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:43.000 So even though they've paid out billions in damages, it could have been hundreds of billions if people had been informed that they could and should report their death and injury. 01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:59.000 Because there's such specific criteria. Okay. Okay. I'm going to let you go. Let me read these donations really fast. So Peggy T. Hey Peggy. Holly T. Canadian $10. Holly T for $199. Janet Pack for $20. Thank you so much, Janet. 01:34:59.000 --> 01:35:12.000 Marado H for $799. I think Australian. Thank you so much. Oh shoot. Holly T for another $399. Thank you so much, Holly. KT for $1999. Thank you so much, KT. 01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:28.000 Michelle for $50. Wow. Thank you so much, Michelle. And Marado H for $599 again. Guys, give this episode a like. We have 132 people watching right now. Sincerely appreciate it. Ray, parting words until we catch up with you next month. 01:35:28.000 --> 01:35:30.000 Nothing special. 01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:41.000 Nothing special. Let's do one last kind of advertisement. Let's let everybody know that they can get your newsletter by email for $28, sending it to raypeatsnewsletter@gmail.com. 01:35:41.000 --> 01:36:02.000 And they can also order a lot of your books. You know, I frequently talk to people that aren't aware that you've ever written a book. And so, "Gender of Entropy" is obviously my favorite of these. But yeah, and you can order these books in digital form by also emailing raypeatsnewsletter@gmail. 01:36:02.000 --> 01:36:05.000 Can they also purchase physical copies of these still, Ray? 01:36:05.000 --> 01:36:10.000 Yeah, several of the issues are still available on paper. 01:36:10.000 --> 01:36:21.000 Awesome. And then one more plug for Kina Jin, email katherine@kinajin@gmail.com. And Georgie, parting words for yourself, sir. 01:36:21.000 --> 01:36:37.000 I don't know. I used to say stay sane, but now at this point seems to be, I guess, start organizing. Turn off the TV, unplug the computer, and go outside. Even if you do nothing, I guess it will be more beneficial than what we've been doing so far. 01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:39.000 Very good. 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:48.000 Awesome. Guys, we have an amazing listenership. Thank you so much, Ray. Thank you so much, Georgie. And we will see you guys very soon. Take care. Have a good weekend and be safe. Peace out, everybody. 01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:49.000 Bye. 01:36:49.000 --> 01:37:18.000 [Music] 01:37:18.000 --> 01:37:28.000 [Music] 01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:38.000 [Music] 01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:48.000 [Music] 01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:58.000 [Music] 01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:08.000 [Music] 01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:18.000 [Music] 01:38:18.000 --> 01:38:28.000 [Music] 01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:38.000 [Music] 01:38:38.000 --> 01:38:48.000 [Music] 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:58.000 [Music] 01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:08.000 [Music] 01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:18.000 [Music] 01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:28.000 [Music] 01:39:28.000 --> 01:39:38.000 [Music] 01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:48.000 [Music] 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:58.000 [Music] 01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:08.000 [Music] 01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:18.000 [Music] 01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:28.000 [Music] 01:40:28.000 --> 01:40:48.000 [Music]
