WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000 From the Hill Country in Texas, this is OneRadioNetwork.com. 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:13.000 Well, a very pleasant good morning to you. Well, that didn't work out right. Hold on a second. 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:22.000 Something, one more thing here. Oh, I see. I can do it this way and then we'll, as I'm talking, we'll figure it out here. 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:36.000 No problem. This is OneRadioNetwork.com. My name is Patrick Timpone and it is the third Monday of the month at around 1130 Central or a few minutes behind here. 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:47.000 And we have the honor of talking to a fine gentleman, Dr. Ray Peat. He's a PhD. He's been around the circus for a long time in the field of health. 00:00:47.000 --> 00:01:04.000 He's got his PhD from the University of Oregon, specialization in physiology and, hold on a second. Something's not working here. I got it. 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:12.000 In physiology, sorry, and he wrote his dissertation in 1972. He outlined all of his ideas on progesterone. 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:22.000 He's got a website that we're going to tell you all about. He also has a newsletter and he has a little chat thing in there that people ask a lot of questions. 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:30.000 He's just quite well respected around the world of natural healing and has been for a very long time. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:38.000 And it's such an honor to talk to him on the third Monday because he's kind of a smart guy. He knows his stuff, does a lot of research. 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.000 Dr. Peat, thanks for coming on the show. It's just such fun to talk to you. Thank you, sir. 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.000 Okay. 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:53.000 Yeah, thanks a lot. Well, I got to ask you because, you know, everybody in the world has seen the video, which I'm sure you have. 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.000 Did a lot of people send you "Watch the Water" video? 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.000 Oh, yeah. 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.000 Oh, yeah. What did you think about it? 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:13.000 He has a lot of information, both on snake venom and on the effects of the COVID virus. 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:22.000 And he runs through them in parallel and shows a lot of similar reactions to each of them. 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:39.000 But I couldn't quite get his central point, what point he was trying to make, except maybe that the disease spreads through the water rather than through the air. 00:02:39.000 --> 00:03:01.000 But I think he was missing a very essential point, which is that stress, trauma of all sorts, poisoning, anything that damages the organism activates the phospholipases. 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:19.000 It isn't just an oddity of COVID virus or cobra venom that activates the phospholipases that have all of those harmful effects. 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:29.000 Anything harmful that excites the organism too much turns on those things. 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:39.000 For example, when you activate one kind of phospholipase, you get the production of prostaglandins. 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:49.000 The prostaglandins activate all sorts of inflammatory things. 00:03:49.000 --> 00:04:09.000 The inflammatory cascade is activated, among other things, by phospholipase. And that's what kills you from COVID. And it's one of the things that can kill you with snake bite is systemic inflammation. 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:19.000 So the phospholipase that Dr. Artis was talking about, where did he say they found this? 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.000 It exists as part of the cobra venom. 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.000 Oh, as part of the cobra venom. Right. Right. 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:49.000 The thing is a bit confusing. We're going to have Dr. Artis on tomorrow. And I think one thing that happened to this whole thing, Dr. Peat, my understanding is that the people who produced this video, they are the ones that really took this whole thing into the water. Right? 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.000 Not him. He did not. 00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:12.000 But many people have been arguing since the video was out that if you had a venom protein, if I think I can get this right, that is a protein that you could not take this internally and be a problem anyway. Is that true? 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:18.000 Most likely. Your stomach digestive enzymes. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.000 Will get it. Right? Will get it. 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.000 Yeah. Pretty much. 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.000 The venom would have to be injected. Correct? 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.000 Yeah. For the full intensity of destruction. 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:40.000 Right. Do you think it's possible that there could be the venom in this remdesivir? 00:05:40.000 --> 00:06:01.000 No, but like anything toxic, if you mess up your nucleic acids, that causes a series of problems, among other reactions that can activate phospholipase. 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:11.000 So again, phospholipase, how does this fit into this whole picture? I'm just quite sorry, I'm not a sharpest tool in the shed here on the phospholipase thing. 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:37.000 When you eat something bad or get a cold, anything that starts an inflammatory process in your intestine or your nose or even in your skin, that irritation activates the phospholipases. 00:06:37.000 --> 00:07:04.000 There are several different kinds, but the one that most people think about is the phospholipase A2 that liberates arachidonic acid from the phospholipids that are part of our structural system of lipids and proteins and water that make up the cell. 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:16.000 So there's always a lot of phospholipids around to be acted on by the phospholipase, and anything that disrupts your cells will activate that. 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:34.000 And that liberating arachidonic acid immediately brings up your prostaglandins, which then activate many other cytokines and inflammatory processes. 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:44.000 I see. And the other thing that was mentioned, the monocronium, what are these? Do you know which I'm talking about? 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.000 No. 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.000 I'll find the piece on it exactly. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:08:03.000 So after all of these, we'll talk to Dr. Artis tomorrow. We're going to see if I can just pick this apart and see if we can get some clarity on exactly what he is saying. 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:15.000 So I guess there's no way of knowing if there's some kind of a venom as well, Dr. Peat, in these injections, right? There could be? 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.000 We don't know, do we really? 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:34.000 An enzyme is something very easy to test for. So if there's an actual enzyme in something, it would be quickly identified. 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.000 So if it's in there, there could be evidence of it into the injection, right? 00:08:40.000 --> 00:09:00.000 Yeah. And that would be one of the possible adjuvants. If you stir up the phospholipases, that starts the inflammatory process. So that would be a kind of adjuvant for the vaccine. 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:28.000 So after all of these, before we get to some questions, after all of these years, what has it been? Two and a half years as you sit back and look at the big picture, would you mind giving us your opinion, just your opinion, of what you have seen and what you think much of this COVID or some of it or all of it was about? 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:52.000 Yeah. For just about forever, there have been colds of various varieties and they're so fast changing that probably 30 or 40 years ago, they pretty much gave up on the idea of having vaccines against the common cold. 00:09:52.000 --> 00:10:08.000 But the virus is extremely common for causing colds and it's somewhat different from the influenza virus and other things that can cause pneumonia. 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:29.000 But the cold virus has always killed a few people. Babies that aren't very strong or especially very old people often has been nothing but a cold that it takes to kill a very old, sickly person. 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:56.000 So the cold is a good virus to start modifying if you want to create a weapon, for example. And that's why it was chosen by places like the Fort Detrick Germ Warfare Lab and the North Carolina Virus Lab of Ralph Baric. 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:24.000 It formed a transmissible unit for putting all kinds of other things in to modify the effects. So it isn't just a common respiratory infection type cold, but it can carry other inflammatory systems with it. 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:33.000 So then you think there was something that was released into the air or is it just into these injections? 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:56.000 Oh, yeah, the virus is a real coronavirus, but it has these segments with special functions of making the spike protein especially transmissible to humans. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:20.000 And Ralph Baric described the way he and his lab developed the transmissibility and the insertion of the spike protein and the modification of the spike protein. That's all public information, patent descriptions and so on. 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.000 And who is this Ralph Baric? What is he? 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:34.000 A professor, a researcher at the University of North Carolina, tremendously supported by the government, Fauci in particular. 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:51.000 Are you aware that if Coch's postulates or any autopsies were done on these COVID patients to prove Baric's assertion that there was something released in the air that people got? 00:12:51.000 --> 00:13:15.000 In developing them, at first they were transmitted from animal to animal by contact, but then they let them develop in ways that until they could put animals in different cages and blow the air from one into the other and spread the virus. 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:24.000 So it was definitely established in the lab to be transmissible through the air. 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:44.000 And autopsies have been done on the natural or whatever the current COVID germ consists of. 00:13:44.000 --> 00:14:01.000 And you can stain the tissues and show the presence of the virus getting into the lining of blood vessels, traveling to the intestine, the lungs, and even into the blood vessels of the brain. 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:17.000 So then do I hear you saying that the work of Lanca, Cowan, Coffin and all these people that say that it's just the isolated things, you don't agree with them? 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:31.000 No, it doesn't matter that you can have a test tube, a picture of a certain virus, you can demonstrate its presence by multiple ways. 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:44.000 You form antibodies to it and then you can detect it when it's connected to the tissues of the victim. 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:53.000 Have you heard of Michael Palmer, a German colleague of Sucharit Bhakti? 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:58.000 I know Bhakti, not Palmer. What's his name, sir? Palmer? 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:14.000 Yeah, he was taught in Canada for a long time, biochemistry, but he worked on particularly the COVID virus and vaccines. 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:28.000 And in a recent video, he shows slides from the 15 autopsies that were done on vaccinated people. 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.000 Oh yeah, I did see a little bit about that. Go ahead, sorry to interrupt. 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:52.000 Bhakti has talked about that, but Palmer has the crucial videos that show exactly what's happening, different between the vaccine and the actual virus infection. 00:15:52.000 --> 00:16:12.000 He has a slide showing the staining of the virus with immuno stains, attaching a colored material to an antibody that's specific for part of the virus. 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:31.000 And then another set of stains specific for the spike protein. And he shows that those can occur together, but you can distinguish them clearly. 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:56.000 And that in these 15 autopsies, there are numerous cases in which it's clearly only the vaccine dependent spike proteins that are causing the death. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:15.000 The breakdown of blood vessels, for example, and the concentration of inflammatory white blood cells around the identifiable spike protein. 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:33.000 So it's the most graphically clear incrimination of the vaccine itself, distinct from the viral disease causing the myocarditis, 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:48.000 breakdown of blood vessels and clotting, hemorrhaging, the whole range of things that have empirically been associated with vaccine injury. 00:17:48.000 --> 00:18:01.000 Now this specifically shows the presence in the tissues of the spike protein itself without any of the rest of the virus. 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:14.000 Anything else? So do you then think that there are people over the last two and a half years that experienced some kind of a bad flu, two, three weeks? 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:31.000 I know people that have, right? That it was not a detox or could have been, but they could have also somehow taken something in from the outside as well. 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:38.000 So the people that poopoo pasteurized thing, he was right in some way? 00:18:38.000 --> 00:19:00.000 Oh, sure. Yeah. But before the COVID thing started at all, the CDC had been describing how many tens of thousands of people were dying of influenza pneumonia every winter. 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:15.000 That was used to herd people into getting the influenza vaccine. But then someone said, what is the evidence really that this is influenza killing them? 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:33.000 The same question some people have asked about the COVID so-called virus, but when they just reported something like 60,000 deaths this season from influenza pneumonia. 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:43.000 And so someone suggested that they actually check for evidence that there was an influenza virus. 00:19:43.000 --> 00:20:03.000 They said, oh, well, yes, there were something like 1200 deaths seasonally from influenza and the others were from COVID, were from coronaviruses was one cause, common colds probably. 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:32.000 Bacterial pneumonia was another set to syncytial virus pneumonia accounted for a big block of the deaths that had been called influenza and unidentifiable pathogen was a major block of people dying of pneumonia and they couldn't find bacteria or viruses at all. 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:39.000 So it could have been toxins of various sorts. 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:53.000 A major source of pneumonia without germs is endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide leaking out of the intestine. 00:20:53.000 --> 00:21:03.000 And so when anyone is seriously stressed, endotoxin tends to become one of the factors in leading to pneumonia. 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:17.000 So even in cases like pneumonia or common flus or colds, it could in many, many cases or some cases simply be a detoxification process and not people catching something. 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:24.000 Well, detoxification protects you, but you can call it a retoxification. 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:29.000 Right. The body's retoxifying trying to get rid of it. 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:34.000 Right. Yeah. The endotoxin or whatever toxin is causing it. 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:42.000 When you're very healthy, your liver and your brain in particular have detoxifying systems that keep you healthy. 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.000 You don't notice the toxins being destroyed. 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.000 You don't notice the toxins being destroyed. 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:57.000 So that's why millions of people had no, didn't wear a mask or nothing happened and they just felt fine. 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:03.000 And it was like any other day. Yeah. Millions. Yeah. Right. 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:09.000 Because the body just deals with whatever it is, stress or whatever. 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:21.000 Yeah. It can eat up germs, inactivate toxins and excrete them, get rid of them. Never knew it had them. 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:39.000 But it is interesting that there are some people that I've known, two or three that I've known, that during this whole affair, what has it been, what, two and a half years now, that went through three weeks or so, 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:45.000 taste, smell of some of the worst flu symptoms ever. I mean, they did. 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:51.000 They thought they were going to die. 00:22:51.000 --> 00:23:09.000 Yeah. A lot of it was the same causes of the flu that killed 40 to 60,000 people every winter before COVID. 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:29.000 The post influenza syndrome was already defined very similar to the post COVID syndrome, leaving permanent fibrosis of the lungs and a general weakening of the organism. 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:45.000 And even in those numbers, Dr. Rapit, that we see every year, there's no real evidence of how many people had comorbidities that have passed on and they claim it was because the flu or cold, right? 00:23:45.000 --> 00:24:11.000 No. 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:21.000 I guess what artists originally argued on this show and other shows about the remdesivir, that's pretty nasty stuff, right? It's not good. 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.000 Yeah, it's a gene-destroying material. 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:48.000 The things that have been used for influenza and herpes treatments that were originated about 30 years ago, those actually had very, very horrible side effects, but they came into use anyway. 00:24:48.000 --> 00:25:02.000 Wow. And then, so the amount of people that were actually killed by remdesivir in the ventilators, that could be a big number. We don't know. 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:20.000 Oh, yeah. The fact that the comparison of two hospitals near each other in Germany during the first few months of the so-called pandemic, 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:36.000 one hospital was influenced by a doctor who administered only the amount of oxygen through a cannula, just free breathing. 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:43.000 That was clearly beneficial. They had zero mortality from the COVID cases. 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.000 Oh, just enough oxygen, not the ventilator. 00:25:46.000 --> 00:26:00.000 Yeah. And a nearby hospital that followed the instructions of the World Health Organization and CDC, that hospital had a 60 percent mortality. 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:18.000 The difference was only that they stuck a tube into their chest and forced oxygen into their lungs. Extremely high mortality once you stick the tube into them. 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:32.000 And so that in itself was known to be almost always deadly, but prescribed, ordered by the CDC. So it was mass murder for a couple of months. 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.000 Are they still doing that? Do you know? 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:38.000 I'm afraid some places still do. 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:49.000 Are they still doing the remdesivir and the ventilator with all because they just don't get it or they're ordered by the CDC, the standard of care, right? 00:26:49.000 --> 00:27:01.000 Yeah, there were many approaches better than remdesivir. Any approach practically was better than intubation. 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:13.000 What did these alternative things have for this so-called virus, as you say, like hydrochloroquine and what's the other one? 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.000 Ivermectin. 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:20.000 Ivermectin and all that. Do they have similar properties? Something could be going on where people felt better? 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:32.000 Oh yeah, they're both somewhat anti-inflammatory. Especially Ivermectin has several anti-inflammatory effects. 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:45.000 So does aspirin and antihistamines. From the very beginning, people were seeing very good effects from aspirin and antihistamines. 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:57.000 So aspirin and antihistamines are just anti-inflammatory. Is that why aspirin has been around for the last hundred years or whatever? 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:16.000 Yeah, but that's very closely connected to an antibiotic and antiviral effect of aspirin. A general, not very specific, but definitely existing antiviral effect. 00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:25.000 But it doesn't go in and kill some so-called virus, right? What does it do with the body? It just helps the body to deal with whatever's going on? 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:34.000 Yeah, when it's acting as an anti-inflammatory, it's preventing disruption of the immune system. 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.000 Preventing disruption. 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:44.000 Letting your immune system continue in a highly energized way. 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:56.000 Once you go over the edge into the prostaglandin and cytokine storm degree of inflammation, you've knocked out the energy system. 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:15.000 Instead of producing lots of heat and carbon dioxide and usable energy, you just produce lactic acid and shift away from oxidative processes. 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:21.000 Oxidative processes are necessary for destroying viruses. 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:28.000 Wow, so that's why you feel better when you take aspirin? 00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:31.000 Yeah, many, many reasons. 00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.000 That's right. 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:38.000 It, for example, activates your mitochondrial respiration the way thyroid does. 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:51.000 When we were kids back in the 50s, Dr. Peat, that's really all we had was aspirin and castor oil. That was pretty much it, right? 00:29:51.000 --> 00:30:09.000 Yeah, and laxatives use is historical and turns out to be very well based because of the endotoxin thing. 00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:28.000 When you've eaten something that you can't digest or you get constipated, an inflammation begins inside your intestine producing, among other things, lactic acid, histamine, serotonin, 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:39.000 and those make your blood vessels that should be a barrier against toxins in your intestine, lets them absorb the endotoxin, 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:49.000 and that lowers your whole systemic body energy and that can lead to death from pneumonia in a week. 00:30:49.000 --> 00:31:00.000 Wow, so that's the whole theory behind, or not theory, but the meme behind this whole idea of the immune system and that being in the gut that we've talked about, 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.000 people have talked about for the last 25 years, right? 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:10.000 That's what's going on and why lots of bowel movements is a good thing. 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:13.000 Moving things out. 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:29.000 About 150 years ago, pathologists and the coroners recognized bowel inflammation as a major cause of death. 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:47.000 Wow, and the bowel gets inflamed because these endotoxins, when we don't have a sufficient bowel movement in getting things out, it just creates a problem down there, an inflammation, and then it causes all kinds of issues. 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:52.000 Yeah, leading to inflammation of the lungs and brain and so on. 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:59.000 Wow, which is why then you take a big hit of castor oil and wake up in the morning and have a big bowel movement and you feel better. 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:04.000 Well, it's pretty simple. 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:33.000 There was a big campaign when medicine started becoming organized and modern. There were actual organized campaigns for public relations, getting press conferences and such to convince the public that there is no such thing as a bowel toxin sickness. 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:37.000 Really? And when was this? In the early days, 1900s? 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.000 1920s, early 20s. 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:46.000 And they tried to convince people that it didn't matter how much you pooped. 00:32:46.000 --> 00:33:05.000 Yeah, for example, one professor of medicine said that there's no such thing as bowel toxins causing sickness and headaches. He said it's all basically in your mind. 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:22.000 And to demonstrate that headaches weren't caused by toxins, supposedly, he had his medical students stuff their rectums with wads of cotton. 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:40.000 And the next day, people who often had headaches reported that they had a headache. So he released the publicity that, "See, we've demonstrated that it isn't poison. It's pressure." 00:33:40.000 --> 00:34:03.000 And that was just part of it. It didn't say anything at all about toxins in the intestine, but just that whatever the level of toxins exists in the intestine, if you have pressure as well, you're going to get a headache or other sickness. 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:04.000 Sure. 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:21.000 Animal studies showed that just putting a balloon into the intestine, if the animal is in a good physiological state, you can blow up the balloon and no symptoms occur. 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:50.000 But if you give them some insulin to lower their blood glucose and then blow up the balloon, the combination of the stress from low blood sugar combined with stretching the intestine will produce all kinds of things, not just headaches, but epileptic seizures, asthma spasms, all kinds of psychosomatic diseases. 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:56.000 All kinds of psychosomatic changes of circulation and excitation. 00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.000 Isn't that fascinating? 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:11.000 An uncle who's long gone from this planet used to say, "Well, I just have a couple cups of coffee and I have my morning constitution to use, and I feel good." 00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:17.000 You think it's detrimental that people use caffeine to go to the bathroom? 00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:19.000 Oh, no, not at all. 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.000 It's normal, it's kind of natural, right? 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:25.000 Yeah, it has lots of other beneficial effects. 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:34.000 I've had some effects, even a little bit of green tea will even move things around a little bit more than interesting. 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:38.000 I guess there must be some caffeine in green tea, too, right? 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:42.000 Yeah, a small amount, just weaker than coffee. 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:47.000 You've never been adverse to coffee at all, right? 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:53.000 As long as I've talked to you, you thought it was okay, coffee, caffeine? 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.000 Oh, sure, yeah. 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.000 It happened when I was four years old. 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:03.000 I just loved the smell and taste of coffee. 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:04.000 Did you? 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:05.000 Yeah. 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:14.000 I believe you've said that coffee is actually something that will get your thyroid going a little bit, too, right? 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.000 Yeah, it helps to balance everything. 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.000 Helps to balance everything. 00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:26.000 You can't count on it making up for food. 00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.000 No. 00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:38.000 If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, it can give you the shakes and accentuate hypoglycemia. 00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:43.000 So that's why it would be good with food, with breakfast or something like that, right? 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:44.000 With breakfast, yeah. 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:52.000 So, before we do a break and get to all the questions, if you have a question for Dr. Peat Patrick on RadioNetwork.com. 00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:04.000 So, on to the bowel thing, do you think there's any cautionary tales with doing different things to keep the bowel movements going two, three, four times, 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:12.000 however you feel more comfortable, like what is psyllium husk or other things, castor oil? 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:19.000 Is there any problems with getting the body addicted to this stuff? 00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:21.000 Not really. 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:35.000 Some people who have a really inflamed problem find that psyllium husk is dehydrated and can increase the plugged quality. 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.000 Yeah. 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.000 But if it works, that's very fine. 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.000 If it works, it works, right? 00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:49.000 Yeah, a good bulk-forming, softening material with just a moderate degree of constipation. 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:54.000 Other than that, then lots of, I guess, vegetables are the best? 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.000 I mean, it also does the same thing, vegetables? 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:02.000 Yeah, as long as they're working, they're improving things. 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:07.000 But if a certain kind of vegetable makes the constipation worse. 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.000 You just got to outdo it, huh? 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:10.000 Yeah. 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.000 Cooked or raw, what's the difference? 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:33.000 In animal experiments, many years ago, compared canned vegetables with exactly the same vegetables in a raw state and fed them to different groups of rats. 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:40.000 The rats getting a mixture of canned vegetables thrived all the way through the experiment. 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:47.000 The ones given exactly the same raw vegetables wasted away. 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:48.000 No kidding. 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:51.000 Eventually died of malnutrition. 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:52.000 What was that about? 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:58.000 Just because so many raw vegetables are extremely indigestible. 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:13.000 The heat breaks down the structure of the fibrous cellulose mixed with other, like the lignin materials, that we just can't digest. 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:21.000 And so the nutrients are trapped inside this web of indigestible material. 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:29.000 Wow. So somewhere along the line, us humans figured out, what did we do before we figured out how to cook vegetables? 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:31.000 We must have done okay? 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:40.000 Yeah, if you choose the right vegetables to eat raw, you can probably do it just by chewing them thoroughly. 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:43.000 What are some of the easy ones? Raw? 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:52.000 I would imagine baby squash are a source of nutrition. 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:53.000 Tomatoes? 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:56.000 Oh, sure. They're a fruit. 00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:59.000 Oh, that's right. They're a fruit. Tomatoes are fruit. 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.000 So that's different fruits. 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:09.000 Do you think we could just live on fruits like tomatoes and squash and botanical fruits and do okay? 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:17.000 Yeah, especially older people who have a very low protein requirement. 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.000 They often thrive. 00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:30.000 Someone yesterday emailed me about their father, who 10 years ago was very sick with prostate cancer, 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:40.000 but he stopped eating ordinary proteins, went vegan, and is now in good health 10 years later. 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:43.000 No kidding? Really? That's funny. 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:53.000 It's just that once your metabolism has slowed down, the proteins, you don't need very much at all. 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:55.000 You just don't need as much. 00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:02.000 The plant materials can provide them, and if you eat more than you need, 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:10.000 the excess amino acids become antithyroid agents and make your metabolism even slower. 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:17.000 Oh, when you have more protein than you need, it actually slows your metabolism. 00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:21.000 Wow, that's interesting, which is a thyroid thing, right? 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:31.000 Yeah, about 40 years ago, Broda Barnes decided to do a high-protein diet just for an experiment. 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:39.000 For years, I think his daily dose of armor thyroid was two grains, 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:49.000 and when he went on a high-meat and protein diet, he found that he needed four grains of armor thyroid every day. 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:53.000 Just to keep his temperature stable in the morning. 00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:58.000 Yeah, even in moderate middle age, he felt that effect. 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:04.000 But the older you are, the more toxic too much protein can be. 00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:10.000 It's probably more difficult after you have about 70, 80 years under your belt to catch a buffalo or something. 00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:21.000 It's probably an evolutionary thing. 00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:25.000 Yeah, sitting around eating fruit is an appropriate thing. 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:27.000 It's a lot easier, right? 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.000 Yeah, it's a lot easier. 00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:33.000 Stay right there. Dr. Ray Peat, Patrick Timpone, thanks for being on the show, sir. 00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:34.000 It's always a pleasure. 00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:38.000 If you have a question, patrick@oneradionetwork.com. 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:41.000 And if you want to do a little thyroid, testosterone. 00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:47.000 The first supplement I like to take in the morning, right after I wake up, is Pine Pollen Pure Potency, or P4. 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:51.000 This is Cirque Rival's flagship testosterone and androgen support formula. 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:59.000 It's made with the pollen of pine trees, which is rich in testosterone, androstenedione, DHEA, and a bunch of plant sterols. 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:06.000 These are all substances, phytochemicals, that support the body's natural androgens, or male hormones. 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:11.000 Of course, men and women are using this product, but usually it's men in andropause. 00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:15.000 Men after age 40, whose testosterone production has started to decline. 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:23.000 Many of Cirque Rival's supplements can be taken any time of day, but Pine Pollen Pure Potency, it's important that you take at very specific times of the day. 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:31.000 Now, it can be taken once, twice, or three times, depending on how much you want to supplement yourself with the phytoandrogens found in it. 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:38.000 But the key is taking it at morning, right upon waking, midday or noon, and then again right before bed. 00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.000 So once, twice, or three times a day, but always at those times. 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:46.000 And that's because that's when your body's naturally producing its own testosterone. 00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:49.000 And all we want to do is amplify that sine wave. 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:54.000 We don't want to start to take testosterone at a time where our body's purged it from the bloodstream. 00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:01.000 Instead, we want to take it at a time where those levels are already spiking and we're just subtly helping to increase them. 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.000 This product tastes fantastic. I think of it like an orange creamsicle. 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:16.000 And that's because in addition to that subtle pine flavor, there's a little bit of orange peel, Tahitian vanilla bean, cloves, and then a little bit of maple syrup just to give it this nice kind of sweet orange flavor. 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:19.000 So it's really delicious and easy to take. 00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:30.000 So if you're looking to increase your testosterone or androgen levels and you want an alternative to pharmaceutical testosterone replacement therapies, there's nothing that does it better than Pine Pollen Pure Pote. 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.000 And we love this product. I've been taking it. 00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:36.000 Well, what I do and what you should do are two different things. 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:40.000 But I can tell you, I've been using it for years. 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:45.000 It's a food, it's a pollen, and little pine trees do their thing in the spring. 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.000 And pine pollen and all the animals and everybody eats it and who knows. 00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.000 It's just a pretty magical substance. 00:44:51.000 --> 00:45:01.000 But this is just one of the many products that Daniel Vitalis has in his store from One Radio Network. 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.000 If you can click on there, and Colostrum is one. 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:08.000 We love that product. They now have four different colostrums. 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:15.000 Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and the original, the original, pine pollen, shiaga, and reishi. 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:23.000 And these are fruited bodies. They're not just, you know, they just really go to some great extent to make these more potent. 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:26.000 They have a vitamin D, K2, 3 thing. 00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:31.000 Also, a digestive bitters products that we love. 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:40.000 Some CBD oil and also a CBD that for your skin, which I just got and I've been playing around with it. I like. 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.000 So, just a great selection of products that I think you'll enjoy. 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.000 And that's at any thrival link on oneradionetwork.com. 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:54.000 Click through our website because we get a little commish when you buy through our website. 00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:58.000 And that helps us to support ourselves. 00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:03.000 As you know, you know, one of the big buzzwords out there right now is inflation. 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.000 And there's a lot of it going around. 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:10.000 We think the real inflation rate is probably 15, 18 percent. 00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:17.000 Yeah, I know. It's a little about 8 percent more than what the gov is telling you. 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:23.000 That's for the most part what we believe with the research that we do. 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:26.000 One of the places we like to go is Shadow Stats. 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:29.000 This fellow, he does incredible research. 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:33.000 He's been doing it for a long time and name is escaping me. 00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:36.000 But, you know, it's just much more. 00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:40.000 But you don't need a government or anybody to tell you what the inflation rate is. 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:49.000 Just go to the store and, you know, we, my girl here, Doodle, is lying next to me, a golden doodle. 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:55.000 She eats raw, grass-fed, organic beef many nights. 00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:00.000 Other than that, it's organic raw chicken, either wings or legs. 00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:03.000 And some cornucopia pet foods. 00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:06.000 It's in a can that you can go there. 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.000 We don't have a financial interest in them. 00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:15.000 But cornucopiapetfoods.com, 100 percent absolutely, totally organic. 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:20.000 And if you want to feed them in the can and it's, you know, it's been cooked. 00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:26.000 But, hey, you can't get 100 percent organic food in a bag in a kibble. 00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:27.000 And we don't recommend kibble. 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:28.000 It's got a lot of issues. 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.000 I don't care how good it is. 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.000 But anyway, that's here near the here and near there. 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:38.000 But I was just going to mention before I got so rudely interrupted by my mind, 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:48.000 is that the meat that we're feeding Doodle has gone up about $1.25 a pound just in the last month. 00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:49.000 A pound. 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:51.000 So things are moving up. 00:47:51.000 --> 00:48:00.000 The way to protect from inflation, the only way that we know to hedge against inflation is gold and silver. 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.000 Well, platinum and stuff like that. 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.000 But the way, easy way to do it is gold and silver. 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:08.000 That is the only real money on this earth. 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.000 The rest of it is all just made up. 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:12.000 Just made up. 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.000 So give Fred a call. 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.000 800-878-2646. 00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:20.000 800-878-2646. 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:23.000 Fred at U.S. Coin Capital. 00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:28.000 He'll hook you up with whatever you need. 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.000 Just trust me on this one. 00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:31.000 He's got the deal. 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:38.000 Did you know the DNA of the pearl and we humanoids are very similar? 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:39.000 Did you know that? 00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:46.000 The DNA that's responsible to create the pearl is very similar to how our human calcium metabolism is done. 00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:48.000 So it's very, very interesting. 00:48:48.000 --> 00:49:02.000 That's why the pearl is so good for our skins, for our bones, for even to rejuvenate our bone marrows, rejuvenate our bones, and rejuvenate our skins. 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:08.000 And also nerve systems and joints, all kinds of muscles. 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:13.000 And like eyesight, our eyes is a big muscle basically, and also our heart. 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:14.000 It's very good for the heart. 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:19.000 It's quite interesting that she mentioned the pearl works to build the bone marrow. 00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:30.000 And in Ayurvedic medicine, they often talked about the idea when you build the bone marrow is when you build beauty and longevity. 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.000 Curious. 00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:33.000 Pearl, this is a great product. 00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:38.000 You can brush your teeth with it, and in my opinion, you'll see amazing results on your two feet. 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:39.000 Really amazing. 00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:44.000 You can take it internally, mix it with face cream. 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:47.000 Our link on One Radio Network goes to a two pack where you get a great discount. 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:51.000 But if you only want one to start, just click around and you get yourself one. 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:57.000 Pearl Sim, click on the ad on the front page, oneradionetwork.com. 00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:04.000 I get lots of compliments for my two feet, and that compliment is just an ego thing, so it doesn't mean anything. 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:12.000 But I'm only telling you that because you can really see the pearlness of your teeth when you use this product. 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:13.000 It's great. 00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:15.000 You can take it internally. 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:21.000 It's not all calcium, but it's heavy calcium and lots of target proteins, and it's from real pearl. 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:26.000 It's a living thing that Dr. Ruehl and Chu figured out how to-- 00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:30.000 She's a quantum physicist, pretty cool gal, very, very cool lady. 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:31.000 She's going to be on soon. 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:40.000 She figured out how to get the pearl and get it into a powder form without messing up the cellular matrix thing. 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:41.000 Does that make sense? 00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.000 She figured out how to do it. 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:49.000 And so it's not like she's using Mother of Pearl or something that you get on Amazon. 00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:55.000 It's a really nice product, a once-living source product, pearl. 00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:00.000 And it's on our website for your teeth and internally, oneradionetwork.com. 00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:08.000 From the Hill Country in Texas, this is oneradionetwork.com. 00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:15.000 On the third Monday of each month, around 1130 or so, if I get there on time, which I usually don't, 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.000 is Dr. Ray Peat, Ph.D. 00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:26.000 He started in the '70s, Doc, is when you really began this, right? 00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:27.000 School? 00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:33.000 I started graduate school in biology in 1968. 00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.000 1968, wow. 00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:41.000 I had gone through a master's program in the late '50s. 00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:57.000 But I worked in linguistics, art, and literature for the intervening eight or nine years. 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:02.000 So were you out in the street demonstrating against the Vietnam War in '68 like I was? 00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:03.000 Oh, sure. 00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:05.000 Oh, yeah, we all were. 00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:09.000 Do you know, it's interesting when you think back on that, just for what it's worth. 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:12.000 I mean, there was some real evidence that us crazy people out in the streets, 00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:16.000 we actually moved Nixon along a little bit, didn't we? 00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.000 I mean, the evidence shows that they did. 00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.000 He got out of there sooner because we were out there. 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:23.000 Sure, yeah. 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:24.000 Yeah, we did. 00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:30.000 Well, I guess for a peaceful protest does a little good now and then. 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:35.000 Yeah, like the treacherous convoy that's moving things along. 00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:37.000 Yeah, I think so, too. 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.000 So are you ready for some questions? 00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:40.000 Sure. 00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:43.000 All right, here we go. 00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:44.000 Let's see. 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:49.000 Several people in the natural health community say that supplementation with inorganic minerals 00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:54.000 not directly derived from foods or once living sources--I was going to ask about that-- 00:52:54.000 --> 00:53:00.000 are just kind of unhealthy and can do calcification in the arteries and organs. 00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.000 Did Dr. Peat agree with this idea? 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.000 It would depend on the source. 00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:14.000 A lot of mineral sources are very contaminated, so that's the main argument against them. 00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:23.000 When they're incorporated into living organisms, they're already extremely highly purified, 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:27.000 and so they're safe in that form. 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:33.000 Wasn't the Max Planck people--you know them, Max Planck Institute--years ago suggested that 00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:39.000 when we take something in from a other-than-living source, it can be detrimental. 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:40.000 Correct? 00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:50.000 Yeah, there are many studies showing that even the type of isotope within a given element 00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:58.000 that can be chemically pure in the chemical sense but has the wrong balance of isotopes. 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.000 Isotopes. 00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:07.000 The typical molecule comes in the standard form. 00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:19.000 Sometimes it has an extra neutron, so the atomic weight is a little different. 00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:26.000 Those are just randomly mixed together in the mineral sources. 00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:34.000 But a plant sorts out and prefers certain isotopes over the others. 00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:50.000 So it's the ultimate in finding not just chemical purity, but a bias in the weight of a particular chemical element. 00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:55.000 The weight and the energetics of it from the living is just different. 00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:56.000 Yeah. 00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:11.000 For example, the cane sugar grown in the tropics from the first rain that comes out of a warm ocean has more deuterium. 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:22.000 It's a heavier form of water, and high deuterium content accelerates the aging process in the early '50s 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:29.000 when heavy water was being used in the nuclear industry. 00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:42.000 No one had studied it biologically, so they gave experimental mice deuterium oxide rather than ordinary water. 00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:53.000 They turned gray and got arthritis and deteriorated much faster because of the different isotopes. 00:55:53.000 --> 00:56:10.000 But organisms and plants filter out the preferred isotope for every element that has a significant difference in atomic weight. 00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:36.000 If you use sugar that was grown in the northern, central, or eastern region where the tropical rain has fallen out, 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:45.000 then coming over the Rockies, for example, the cold temperature squeezes out even more of the heavy water. 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:54.000 So any water that's left over the northern plains is likely to be very depleted in deuterium. 00:56:54.000 --> 00:57:06.000 So the crops, especially sugar beet grown in those areas, has more light water, which is biologically more compatible. 00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:12.000 Very interesting. What's the deuterium doing in there? That's kind of like a Mother Nature thing. 00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:17.000 Why is she putting deuterium in there? Why would she do that? 00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:34.000 All of the atoms come in more or less a random arrangement of the distribution of the neutrons and protons. 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:36.000 It's just a random thing? 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:38.000 As far as I know. 00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:53.000 Somebody sent me a link to a website from lip gloss that actually has some snake venom in the lip gloss that's used to make the lips more swollen, 00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:58.000 that the Hollywood people like. Have you ever heard of that? 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:04.000 I don't know what that's about. Why would snake venom swell up your lips? I guess it would. 00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:08.000 Anything that causes inflammation. 00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:13.000 Inflammation, yeah. Okay, here's one for you. How to gain weight. I'm a 66 year old female. 00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:26.000 Long COVID digestive symptoms, pain in location of the pancreas, liver fullness, fatigue, have to lie down, too tired to complete more than some of the basic activities, 00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:33.000 fat malabsorption, fall asleep after eating. Wow. So this lady's got a lot going on here. 00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:42.000 First thing would be to check thyroid function and body temperature. 00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:50.000 Very low body temperature depletes your ability to make energy. 00:58:50.000 --> 00:59:04.000 And so if your body temperature is very low, you would want to have a blood test to see, in particular, TSH, which causes inflammation if it's high, 00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:13.000 and vitamin D deficiency of which causes inflammation and under metabolism. 00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:22.000 Vitamin D deficiency. Right. Do you know a number, like if people want to do a vitamin D test that you like? 00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:30.000 Oh, yeah. In nanograms per milliliter, it should be around 50 or 60. 00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:33.000 50 or 60 per milliliter. 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.000 Nanograms per milliliter. 00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:38.000 Do you think we can get enough from the sun? 00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:39.000 What was that? 00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:42.000 Do you think we get enough from the sun if we're out there on the sun? 00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:58.000 Oh, yeah. A person who spends, for example, on the beach, a person spending hours a day with a lot of skin exposed to full sunlight will have maybe 150. 00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:08.000 Whoa. Yeah, I'm out in the sun a lot. It'd be fun to take it just to see as an experiment, you know, to see what the levels are. 01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:16.000 It'd be interesting. There's a place for those of you who are interested. It's called Let's Get Checked, and it's online. 01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:22.000 And they actually will ship you a little thing, and you can get your thyroid TSH test or vitamin D. 01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:25.000 Very inexpensive. You don't have to go anywhere. 01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:35.000 Yeah, some places will charge you more than $200 for a vitamin D test, or should be somewhere in the range of 40 to 60. 01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:42.000 Right. I did my TSH doc with them, and it was like 50 bucks or something, TSH. 01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:52.000 And again, for those who are new to Dr. Peat's work, and he's done quite a bit on thyroid, your favorite TSH level is? 01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:53.000 Close to zero. 01:00:53.000 --> 01:01:00.000 Close to zero. Right. You are the lowest one than anybody we've ever talked about. Why is that? 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:11.000 I've been attending to the TSH issue ever since it came into use. 01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:30.000 First, when Synthroid substituted for Armour thyroid, Armour had been the standard of thyroid potency for about 50 years. 01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:55.000 And then when synthetic thyroxine was developed, a huge advertising campaign convinced doctors that T3 was the only active thyroid hormone. 01:01:55.000 --> 01:02:08.000 So they said scientifically, you should use the pure thyroxine, not the random mix that you find in the Armour thyroid. 01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:23.000 They used a blood test, protein-bound iodine, and found that only 5% of the population was deficient in protein-bound iodine. 01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:34.000 So they said almost no one needs a thyroid supplement, but when they need it, thyroxine should be the thing. 01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:46.000 And using the meaningless protein-bound iodine test all through the 1950s and into the 1960s, 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:51.000 they were saying almost no one needs a thyroid supplement. 01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:03.000 And then it turned out that there was absolutely no biological basis for saying that protein-bound iodine had anything to do with your thyroid function. 01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:20.000 At that point, they were convinced that T4 thyroxine was the only scientific way to treat thyroid and that only 5% of the people might need it. 01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:30.000 And so they discovered very precise ways of measuring TSH using a radio-immunoassay. 01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:50.000 So they picked out 5% of the population who had the highest TSH and said, "That's the number that is justified to give thyroxine to." 01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:59.000 But it was entirely phony based on a meaningless test that that 5% of TSH was established. 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:15.000 So ever since the 1960s, that has been refined, literally telling doctors to ignore all of the traditional signs of hypothyroidism, 01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:29.000 to ignore body temperature, all of the signs like falling hair and problems maintaining the weight, either being too thin or too fat. 01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:33.000 Ignore all of those, go only by TSH. 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:43.000 But without looking at the history of it, it might sound scientific in some way, but it's totally irrational. 01:04:43.000 --> 01:05:03.000 It turns out that TSH directly activates inflammatory systems and a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism come from elevated TSH, not from an actual deficiency of thyroxine. 01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:15.000 So where are we now? The original one, Armor, was the good stuff, right? That was the best? 01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:17.000 Armor, yes. 01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:20.000 But that's no longer available, correct? 01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:30.000 It's still available, but when the Armor company sold out in the early 90s, they had been testing every batch. 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:43.000 They had both pork thyroid, beef thyroid, and a mixture, and every batch was tested for biological activity on mice. 01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:52.000 So it was refined right down to 1% of effect on metabolic rate. 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:56.000 It was scientifically ultra-precise. 01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:08.000 During those years when the synthroid people were saying, "Don't use a natural product, it isn't scientifically refined enough," 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:19.000 during those years, there were times when the thyroxine activity of synthroid was off, I think, by as much as 40%. 01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:21.000 Wow. 01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:32.000 So Armor and Synthroid are the two choices for folks now who get prescriptions, right? 01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:36.000 Oh, yeah. There are lots of synthetic thyroxines. 01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:37.000 Okay. 01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:47.000 Most of the mixed synthetic products have been discouraged, taken off the market. 01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:59.000 But the one that's the closest, it was based on the typical Armor ratio of T4 to T3. 01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:01.000 That's CINO Plus. 01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:02.000 CINO Plus. 01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:05.000 A 4 to 1 ratio of T4 to T3. 01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:09.000 And you can get that in this country, or is that a Mexican thing, CINO Plus? 01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:16.000 Mostly, it's, I think, made in Mexico and is popular in Latin America and somewhat in Europe. 01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:22.000 So if you had to take it, wanted to take it, that's what you would go for, the CINO Plus? 01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:31.000 Yeah. I wouldn't hesitate to take Armor, even though they really don't pay attention. 01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:33.000 You get a little fishy with the numbers, huh? 01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:34.000 Yeah. 01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:38.000 So now when you see there's some products out there over the counter, 01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:44.000 well, you can get them through docs, but not necessarily totally over the counter, 01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:50.000 where it says bovine, I have something here I had on the shelf. 01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:55.000 It says bovine, L-Y-O-P-H-I-L-I-Z-E-D. 01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:56.000 Yeah. 01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:59.000 What's it mean? 01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:01.000 Freeze-dried. 01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:02.000 Freeze-dried bovine. 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:06.000 What's in here? 01:08:06.000 --> 01:08:08.000 You don't really know. 01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:10.000 You don't really know. 01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:17.000 The people making it aren't aware of the history of the Armor definition. 01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:29.000 And at first, at the end of the 19th century, the thyroid was used in a fresh form, not freeze-dried. 01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:34.000 And in that form, it was two-thirds water. 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:43.000 And so when they dehydrated the gland without altering it except to take out the fat, 01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:53.000 the Armor product was extended with lactose bound into a pill. 01:08:53.000 --> 01:09:00.000 And they added about two parts of lactose for every part of powdered thyroid, 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:09.000 so that it had the same weight ratio to potency that the fresh gland had, 01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:13.000 because it was a widespread standard of dosing. 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:21.000 So when they say one grain dose, it was for 50 years the world standard. 01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:27.000 Armor meant it was basically one-third active. 01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:33.000 And so if you used the pure powdered glandular, it was called 3X, 01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:42.000 because it was three times as strong as the fresh or the extended product with lactose. 01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:57.000 But now the concept of 1X or 3X is used only by chemical suppliers like Aldrich and Sigma. 01:09:57.000 --> 01:10:00.000 You use those categories. 01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:07.000 But the people selling it don't know what they're selling, basically, whether it's 3X or 1X. 01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:13.000 So you might get super strong stuff or very weak stuff. 01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:19.000 So if you wanted to go that route, you would just have to take it and see what's your body temperature 01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:22.000 and see how you feel and your metabolism, right? 01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:28.000 Yeah, which always had to do with Armor anyway, because everyone has a different requirement. 01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.000 Right, right. 01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:39.000 So is there--do you know any sources of just a bovine or pig that are just not desiccated or freeze-dried, 01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:42.000 that are just like a powder you could take? 01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:49.000 Yeah, but I don't know of any way to be sure whether you're getting 3X or 1X. 01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:50.000 You don't know. 01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.000 Or maybe one-tenth X. 01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:57.000 The Sino Plus, I used to have some of those. 01:10:57.000 --> 01:10:58.000 I sent those to a friend that needed it. 01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.000 I didn't need it any longer. 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:02.000 But they were just little guys, if I remember, right? 01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:03.000 Little tiny ones? 01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:04.000 Yeah. 01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:07.000 And how many grains are in that one? 01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:12.000 About two-and-a-third, I think, of grains equivalent to one tablet. 01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:14.000 So it's right up there, right? 01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:19.000 So that's 60, 120, maybe 150 or 160 or 70, right? 01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:20.000 Something? 01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:28.000 Yeah, and so people often not realizing how potent they are, very often overdose on their Sino Plus. 01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:30.000 You should start with an eighth of a tablet. 01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:34.000 Yeah, and just kind of work your way up. 01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:43.000 So just to wrap up on thyroid, if people wanted to need to get their TH level down there to close to zero, 01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:50.000 they're going to do okay, in your opinion, with the Synthroid or Armor, right? 01:11:50.000 --> 01:12:02.000 Well, with Synthroid, women are much less able to activate by roxam turning it into T3. 01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:04.000 So they'd be better with Armor, the ladies? 01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:06.000 Yeah. 01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:07.000 Wow. 01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:09.000 What a land...all these landmines out there, Doc. 01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:12.000 How do people figure this stuff out? 01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:23.000 Unfortunately, the researchers generally have failed to notice that because of estrogen level, 01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:31.000 women's livers are much less likely to fully activate the thyroxine. 01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:40.000 And so sometimes a woman can get more and more hypothyroid, the more thyroxine they take, 01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:47.000 because it begins diluting the T3 that came out of their own thyroid gland. 01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:57.000 And if their liver is blocked by estrogen, they can get worse by taking more thyroxine. 01:12:57.000 --> 01:13:00.000 That's just...wow, just crazy. 01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:05.000 You would think, Dr. Peat, that these people would understand this thing 01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:09.000 and really dig into it if you're making these things, wouldn't you? 01:13:09.000 --> 01:13:15.000 You would think it's the same as the propaganda and the virus thing. 01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:17.000 Yeah, who knows? 01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:25.000 Here's a 68-year-old male who recently had a thumping in his head, ooh, like a faint heartbeat, 01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:32.000 but it doesn't follow the heart. Rather, the thumps, maybe 240 times per minute. 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.000 That's a lot of thumping. No other symptoms. 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:38.000 Does Dr. Peat have any ideas what this could be? 01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:42.000 Lots of thumps in his head, not going along with his heart. 01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:57.000 Basically, I don't know, but I've experienced some things and found that occasionally there would be a resonance 01:13:57.000 --> 01:14:08.000 with something that I wasn't hearing through my ears, but by resonating through my sinuses, 01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:15.000 something in the environment that happened to be vibrating at a different frequency from my heart. 01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:24.000 I would hear this ticking, wondering why my heart rate was doing one thing 01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.000 and the ticking in my head was doing something else, 01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:33.000 and found it turned out to be something in the environment just resonating with my head. 01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:40.000 Dr. Peat, do you have an opinion regarding Dr. Lester Morrison's research 01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:47.000 indicating heart disease could be reversed as well as prevented with chondroitin sulfate? 01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:59.000 No, I'm very skeptical that that would improve heart disease. 01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:07.000 Heart disease, as you know it, it's more of something going on right with the heart muscle 01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:11.000 rather than atherosclerosis, correct? 01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:20.000 Oh, no. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition that affects your heart at the same time as the blood vessels. 01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:36.000 But people have removed the plaque and chemically stained it and found that it's full of breakdown products 01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:43.000 from polyunsaturated fat, age pigment basically. 01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:48.000 Pufus. The culprits again, Pufus. 01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:55.000 Do we get too many Pufus more than we want just by eating fish? 01:15:55.000 --> 01:16:02.000 Yes, you eat too much fish. That's why I advocate only the low-fat fish. 01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:05.000 Low-fat fish, which are, what are some of your low-fatters? 01:16:05.000 --> 01:16:07.000 Cod and sole. 01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:11.000 Cod and sole are the best ones. Cod and sole. 01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:16.000 That's why the salmon, they got a lot of Pufus in there, right? 01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:19.000 Yeah, good old Pufus. 01:16:19.000 --> 01:16:25.000 Let's see, here's someone. 01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:35.000 Okay, I don't understand this one. Sorry. 01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:50.000 I read that it takes about 40 to 56 days for skin cells to turn over from stem cells to disquamination off the surface of a follicle, 01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:55.000 hypokeratosis, and I started supplementing vitamin A for it. 01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:58.000 I'm sorry, did you understand those words? 01:16:58.000 --> 01:16:59.000 Yeah. 01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:10.000 In Dr. Peat's experience, how does vitamin A supplementation, how long does it take to clear skin problems like follicular hypokeratosis? 01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:30.000 I've had experience with the leukoplakia, which is on the moist surfaces, for example, inside your cheeks. 01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:44.000 They're waterlogged and they can stick out so you bite your cheeks unavoidably, but that's considered a precancerous condition. 01:17:44.000 --> 01:18:06.000 I found that whenever I was extremely deficient in vitamin A, I would get leukoplakia, and so I tested it with if I took 50,000 or 100,000 units of vitamin A, just for two or three days, it would disappear completely. 01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:13.000 So it depends on how deficient you are and what caused your deficiency. 01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:35.000 Estrogen happens to accelerate the turnover and the formation of the dead keratin state of the cells, and vitamin A has an anti-estrogen effect on the skin, slowing the turnover, creating less of the dandruff effect. 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:43.000 It's very easy to see on the wet tissues like the uterine cervix. 01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:57.000 Leukoplakia is sometimes an excuse for doing a hysterectomy, but just putting vitamin A on topically in just a few days, same as inside your mouth, 01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:06.000 it can totally abolish the white abnormal cells. 01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:18.000 Lawrence wants to know, he says I'm 56, good health, but every now and then I get a little purple kind of a dot or a square on my forearm. 01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:20.000 What could this be? 01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:22.000 Oh, weak capillaries. 01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:24.000 Weak capillaries. 01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:28.000 That's kind of a young age for it happening. 01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:46.000 In 80 or 90 year olds, it becomes very common, so that a 90 year old will typically have those from red to brown splotches covering their surface fairly well. 01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:52.000 What are some things that Lawrence could take to strengthen his capillaries? 01:19:52.000 --> 01:20:11.000 Keeping your cortisol low, avoiding unopposed estrogen causes your adrenals to overproduce cortisol and underproduce DHEA, pregnenolone, and progesterone. 01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:23.000 Keeping your cholesterol up as a precursor to pregnenolone and DHEA, that toughens all of your connective tissues and your capillaries. 01:20:23.000 --> 01:20:28.000 Keep Mr. Cholesterol up so he'll have lots of eggs, good? 01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:33.000 Well, yeah, carbohydrates are how we make cholesterol. 01:20:33.000 --> 01:20:36.000 Carbohydrates, not the eggs, carbohydrates. 01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:47.000 Well, it takes lots and lots of eggs to raise your serum cholesterol for just a moderate amount of extra carbohydrates can do it. 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:49.000 Like oats or rice? 01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:55.000 Yep, just making sure they're well cooked so they digest easily. 01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:57.000 Very interesting. 01:20:57.000 --> 01:21:01.000 Fascinating. This is great fun. 01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:07.000 Any remedies for inguinal hernia surgery is not an option? 01:21:07.000 --> 01:21:11.000 I-N-G-U-I-N-A-L, hernia. What is that? 01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:26.000 Oh, again, DHEA falling in relation to cortisol is going to weaken all of your connective tissues. 01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:42.000 And the vitamin D deficiency, it isn't just the bones that are strengthened by adequate vitamin D, but all of the connective tissues and muscles are weak in the vitamin D deficiency. 01:21:42.000 --> 01:22:03.000 And so, first thing is to make sure you're getting enough calcium and vitamin D, and then if that's adequate, then check to make sure you don't have an excess of cortisol and estrogen relative to the pregnenolone and DHEA. 01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:08.000 And what are some things that people do to get too much estrogen? What do they eat? 01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:11.000 Stress, basically. 01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:12.000 Pretty much stress. 01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:21.000 Hypothyroidism, B vitamin deficiency can do it, various kinds of poisoning. 01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:29.000 Is there any downsides to taking a little extra vitamin D just to make sure you're topped up? Is that a problem? 01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:30.000 I don't think so. 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:31.000 No? 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:33.000 Five thousand units a day. 01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:34.000 Five. 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:37.000 Some doctors say that's excessive, but I've never seen anyone get a very high blood level from it. 01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:39.000 You've never seen a problem with that? 01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:43.000 No, I've never seen anybody get a very high blood level from five thousand. 01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:52.000 What can be done for scoliosis? Is protein involved as well as calcium and vitamin D? 01:22:52.000 --> 01:22:55.000 Yeah, and thyroid. 01:22:55.000 --> 01:22:59.000 And thyroid. Ah, that old thyroid again, boy. 01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:07.000 So that's the deal. You want to get that TSH down to near zero, as close to zero as you can, Doc, right? 01:23:07.000 --> 01:23:11.000 I think so, as long as you're eating well. 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:15.000 Um, can you explain a little bit? 01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:25.000 If you take a lot of thyroid, you can get your TSH down very low, but also your metabolic rate is increasing, 01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:32.000 and so you have to make sure you're getting enough of the vitamins and other nutrients. 01:23:32.000 --> 01:23:36.000 I see. Mm-hmm. 01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:40.000 Okay, here is somebody, let's see. 01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:47.000 Huge blister on the front of my shin, just above the ankle. 01:23:47.000 --> 01:23:53.000 It has been at least nine months and it's still red, even though the liquid has drained out. 01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:59.000 Now there are small red spots. Rash kind of looks like tiny red pimples. 01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:05.000 Um, hmm, any ideas what I could do? Could this be some kind of toxin coming out? 01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:10.000 Uh, or possibly an infection. 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:19.000 I think it should be tested. Have a doctor take swabs and such to see what's happening. 01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:23.000 See what it is. Right. 01:24:23.000 --> 01:24:28.000 Hold on, my mouse is not working. Do something. Hold on. 01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:33.000 My email thing just crashed, don't mind me. Here we go. 01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:44.000 Um, hi Patrick, we asked Dr. Peat what he thinks of berberine for diabetes to lower blood sugar. Berberine. 01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:46.000 What was the word? 01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:54.000 Berberine, B-E-R-B-E-R-I-N, lowering blood sugar. 01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:57.000 I don't recognize that word. 01:24:57.000 --> 01:25:00.000 I've seen that somewhere, but I don't know what it is either. 01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.000 Berberine, berberine, no? Hmm. I don't either. 01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:17.000 Um, how much total phosphorus intake matter if the diet has a good calcium-phosphorus ratio? 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:22.000 Is a low phosphorus diet preferable to a normal phosphorus diet 01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:29.000 if the calcium-phosphorus ratio is exactly the same in both cases? 01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:39.000 If it's, if both of them are extremely low, then it's possible to be deficient in both of them. 01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:45.000 But in the normal range, it's the ratio that counts most. 01:25:45.000 --> 01:25:55.000 Mm-hmm. Um, you know, last month you had mentioned that you were dubious about a lot of the creams, right? 01:25:55.000 --> 01:25:59.000 The bio-identical hormone creams? 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:00.000 Oh yeah. 01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:05.000 Yeah, boy, we had a lot of emails about that saying that, I don't think, here's one, 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:11.000 my group uses a biometric hormone replacement protocol that replicates the youthful rhythms, 01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:17.000 and the hormones or creams based in the woman is intact. 01:26:17.000 --> 01:26:25.000 They will, so there's people that are suggesting that maybe that they do okay on these. 01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:36.000 Uh, yeah, even if it's going to cause cancer, it might make you feel okay for 10 or 20 years. 01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:53.000 But you really should think ahead what's happening and look at the research historically on what the safe levels and rhythms are. 01:26:53.000 --> 01:27:07.000 For example, all through the 1940s, experiments were being done on the rhythm of estrogen effect in relation to cancer. 01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:13.000 If you gave even a very small dose of estrogen continually, 01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:23.000 it had a very high rate of questionization of all of the organs and tissues. 01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:30.000 But if you interrupted it regularly, about once a month, then it was harmless. 01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:44.000 And the function of progesterone is to knock out the estrogen system, stopping the synthesis and the receptor response to it. 01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:51.000 Once a month prevents cancerization of all of the tissues. 01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:55.000 So that's something that I didn't dig into last time when you mentioned that. 01:27:55.000 --> 01:28:05.000 It wasn't necessarily that they weren't absorbing, but it was the potential cancerous effects on the topical progesterone, correct? 01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:12.000 Yeah, and you really should look at your blood levels. 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:29.000 But even the blood levels in a deficiency of progesterone, the enzymes that regulate estrogen are inactivated. 01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:42.000 Progesterone activates the enzymes that attach substances to estrogen and make it inactive and excreted. 01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:47.000 And at the same time, progesterone is inactivating estrogen. 01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:58.000 It's knocking out the estrogen receptor and turning off the aromatase enzyme that makes estrogen. 01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:10.000 So there are close to 10 different enzymes regulated by progesterone with an anti-estrogen effect. 01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:23.000 And so if your progesterone is inactive, the enzymes that are excreting estrogen don't remove it from cells. 01:29:23.000 --> 01:29:32.000 And so the estrogen inside cells can go wild, leading to cancer. 01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:37.000 But it doesn't show up in the blood because it isn't being excreted. 01:29:37.000 --> 01:29:40.000 It's being formed right in the tissue. 01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:52.000 The uterus and the breast, for example, were thought of as target tissues for estrogen coming from the ovaries. 01:29:52.000 --> 01:30:05.000 But in rat experiments, if you take out the ovaries, wait a week, the serum estrogen is just as high as it ever was. 01:30:05.000 --> 01:30:18.000 Because in the absence of progesterone, all of your tissues begin secreting, forming and secreting estrogen. 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:32.000 But the uterus and breast, instead of waiting to be stimulated by ovarian estrogen, in the absence of progesterone, 01:30:32.000 --> 01:30:39.000 they begin forming their own estrogen locally. 01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:47.000 So in endometriosis, for example, the uterus begins forming estrogen. 01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:51.000 That doesn't have to depend on the ovarian estrogen. 01:30:51.000 --> 01:31:02.000 And a thyroid deficiency and a progesterone deficiency will increase endometriosis and eventually cancer 01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:09.000 by the internal uterine production of too much estrogen. 01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:15.000 Same in the breast. The breast tumor begins producing its own estrogen. 01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:19.000 It doesn't need getting estrogen from the blood. 01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:27.000 So that's why you have often recommended just a little dab for men and women, if I'm correct. 01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:34.000 This progest-D is the one that you kind of developed internally, right? 01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:42.000 Yeah, it should be used intermittently for about half to two-thirds of the month 01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:55.000 against a background of adequate vitamin D and thyroid so that you aren't overproducing estrogen in the so-called target organs. 01:31:55.000 --> 01:32:03.000 Ab muscle, uterus, breast, everything can take over the production of estrogen. 01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:14.000 And so it's very hard to imagine how any tissue could conceivably suffer from an estrogen deficiency 01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:21.000 because when it's under stress, not getting adequate thyroid and progesterone, 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:25.000 every tissue can become a source of estrogen. 01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:27.000 My goodness, wow. 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:35.000 Catherine is in Canada. She says, "I'm 35. I had my appendix removed at the age of 9, ruptured. 01:32:35.000 --> 01:32:42.000 I've read that the appendix is an immune organ and is involved in replenishing good gut bacteria, 01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:46.000 digesting fiber, and helping to produce fatty acids. 01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:58.000 I'm curious what this might mean for my metabolic health and how to maximize my health, digestion, and immune function without this organ." 01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:03.000 Yeah, every little bit of the body matters. 01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:12.000 You can get along without various parts, but not as well. 01:33:12.000 --> 01:33:18.000 And so you just have to pay a little closer attention to eating digestible foods, 01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:27.000 keeping your thyroid and vitamin D and general nutrition at an optimal level. 01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:42.000 But considering everything, the lack of an appendix is a terrible problem. 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:44.000 Okay, good. 01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:52.000 I heard Dr. Peat mention on a past show that a stressful event can just turn the thyroid off, 01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:58.000 the trauma of a daughter who has gone through a stressful period. 01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:04.000 When younger, her thyroid is turned off, very low body temperature, hormonal issues, depression. 01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:11.000 She's living in the country where there's no way to get any thyroid supplements or progesterone, as Dr. Peat usually likes. 01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:16.000 So are there some natural things to help to get her thyroid working again? 01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:19.000 Well, I mean, you can get things through the mail, right, Dr. Peat? 01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:21.000 Oh, sure. 01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:27.000 So, yeah, you can go by his advice and just get things in the mail. 01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:33.000 I mean, this Cynoplus, what's the name of that place in Mexico, the Cynoplus, do you remember? 01:34:33.000 --> 01:34:35.000 Oh, yeah, there are two stores. 01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:44.000 One, the original Farmacia Del Nino up near the border, it's a little corner pharmacy. 01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:48.000 Very helpful people you can talk to on the phone. 01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:57.000 And there's a big pharmacy in Mexico City, which took advantage of the name, 01:34:57.000 --> 01:35:04.000 but they changed it to Farmacias with an S, Del Nino dot MX. 01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:14.000 And they have the advantage of being close to an international airport, so they can give slightly faster service. 01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:20.000 I see. So we had the original, the Farmacio Del Nino, that's near the border, a small one. 01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:25.000 And then the, how do you spell Farmacio? How are we spelling that? 01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:30.000 F-A-R-M-A-C-I-A. 01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:34.000 Del Nino dot MX for the big one, right? 01:35:34.000 --> 01:35:37.000 With an S, Farmacias. 01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:41.000 Oh, they changed the name to an S, good for them. I see. 01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:46.000 And CINO plus. But again, you got to be careful, that's two and a half grains. 01:35:46.000 --> 01:35:49.000 So you just don't want to go popping this. 01:35:49.000 --> 01:35:56.000 It's really good to learn a moderate amount about thyroid function. 01:35:56.000 --> 01:36:02.000 You'll very likely in a day or two know far more than your doctor knows. 01:36:02.000 --> 01:36:04.000 That's right. 01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:07.000 Here's another one from Canada. We have a lot of Canadian listeners. 01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:13.000 Could you please ask Dr. Peat what would cause the increased tendency to flush? 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:20.000 Flushing seems to increase throughout the day and is worse by the end of it, where I have a constant red glow. 01:36:20.000 --> 01:36:24.000 Histamine? Exclamation point? Roshida? 01:36:24.000 --> 01:36:34.000 Yeah, and low thyroid people often have that extreme ability to release histamine. 01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:37.000 They've got red ears and red cheeks and so on. 01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:43.000 Can you ask Dr. Peat what recommends a thyroid if we don't want to do the Mexican? 01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:45.000 I think we've been over that, right? 01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:51.000 You can get bovine thyroid desiccated, but then you don't know. 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:55.000 Do they have the mix in those things? I don't think I've asked you. 01:36:55.000 --> 01:37:00.000 The T4, T3, we just don't know how strong they are? Is that the downside? 01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:10.000 Yeah, if it's the actual glandular material, the ratio will be somewhere between 3 to 1 and 4 to 1. 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:22.000 But the question is how pure it is and whether it has been diluted and standardized. 01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:33.000 So it's very good to be cautious and take maybe something like 15 milligrams of the powdered material. 01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:39.000 Just a little bit for a test and see how you feel and get your body temperature. 01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:42.000 So the body temperature is really mission critical. 01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:54.000 This is something you can do first thing in the morning. Is this a very good, and you use your words, marker for thyroid function? 01:37:54.000 --> 01:37:59.000 Yeah, temperature and heart rate first thing in the morning. 01:37:59.000 --> 01:38:07.000 First thing in the morning. And the temperature normal or where we want it, minimum, what is it, 97.7? 01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:09.000 Something around that. 01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:10.000 Around in there, yeah. 01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:22.000 And then after eating breakfast, it should fairly quickly come up to 98.5 and later in the day, it's okay if it gets to 99. 01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:26.000 Do you think breakfast is important, something substantial? 01:38:26.000 --> 01:38:39.000 Carbohydrates, since your morning cortisol is almost always high, it's a response to low blood sugar during the night. 01:38:39.000 --> 01:38:47.000 The more you use up your stored glycogen during the night, the higher your morning cortisol is going to be. 01:38:47.000 --> 01:38:55.000 And so getting it down quickly with something like orange juice or oatmeal is a good idea. 01:38:55.000 --> 01:39:01.000 Oh, so orange juice actually gets the cortisol down? 01:39:01.000 --> 01:39:04.000 Getting your blood glucose back up. 01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:09.000 Getting your blood glucose back up, but what about that high cortisol in the night? 01:39:09.000 --> 01:39:12.000 It's going to take the oats to do that? 01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:22.000 If your thyroid and progesterone are good, you can make it through eight or ten hours of sleep without getting hypoglycemia. 01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:28.000 But some people wake up in the night and have some milk and orange juice. 01:39:28.000 --> 01:39:39.000 Boy, I tell you what, I don't know what it is, but for me, if I wake up in the middle of the night and do some raw goat's milk, just warm it a little bit, it's like manna from heaven, Doc. 01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:41.000 Yeah, it's ideal. 01:39:41.000 --> 01:39:46.000 And I put sugar in it, too, the organic beet sugar. 01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:48.000 It's very good. 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:50.000 A couple more, then we'll let you go. 01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:53.000 Let's see, Dr. Peat talks a lot about milk. 01:39:53.000 --> 01:39:59.000 Milk is milk estrogenic.
