WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000 [music] 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.000 Broadcasting from the beautiful Hill Country in Texas, this is OneRadioNetwork.com 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:26.000 Well, a very pleasant good afternoon to you. We are back here. It is about a little bit after noon, a couple minutes after noon, Central Time, OneRadioNetwork.com, and this is Patrick Timpone. 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:38.000 The gentleman you see, the picture you see to my immediate left is Dr. Ray Peat. He is a PhD. He has been at this game of nutrition and such for a very, very long time. 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:51.000 He taught at medical universities and lived down in Mexico for a while. He has been working with people and now he just writes. He does his own newsletter, Ray Peat Newsletter. 00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:04.000 We will let you know how to get that one. He has got me drinking a lot of orange juice. Well, he did not really get me drinking orange juice, but after talking to you for a long time, Dr. Peat, I am drinking a lot of orange juice. 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:14.000 I can't believe, you know, I went my whole life, Dr. Peat, thinking, well, orange juice, it can't be good. I mean, it is just too much sugar, right? I just didn't do it. 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:40.000 Yeah, a lot of people are still saying that, but if you look at the total picture, it even contains some protein, but one of the most important things is the anti-inflammatory flavonoids. It is like a medical shop in terms of the complexity of the anti-inflammatory mixture in it. 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000 But so all the sugar obviously doesn't, I mean, it doesn't have any negative effects for me anyway. 00:01:48.000 --> 00:02:06.000 The high content of potassium in the juice, potassium has a function similar to insulin that lets you absorb and use the sugar without resorting to increased insulin. 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:19.000 So, it doesn't at all have the fattening influence that starches or plain sugar would have. 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:28.000 So, you could almost get more of an insulin thing or sugar with a big plate of pasta than you can orange juice, right? 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:45.000 Yeah, the sugar in orange juice is mostly sucrose, which in itself is much less glycemic or insulin stimulating than the glucose that drives from starch. 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:56.000 Okay, so we eat pasta, bread, and things like that. That's more of a glucose and that plays more, has an effect on the insulin. 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:09.000 Yeah, there are charts of the glycemic index foods and the starch and glucose are at the top and juices are actually down the list. 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:16.000 Okay, so generally when folks want to lose weight, we get plenty of those questions. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.000 What are some things that you recommend that they do to take out and to put in, to lose weight? 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:40.000 One of the things you want to do is stop eating the things that slow your metabolism, that inhibit your thyroid and damage your mitochondria and block oxygen use and heat production. 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:58.000 The worst of those foods are the polyunsaturated fats and the very high starchy foods like pasta are the next in line. 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:20.000 But the PUFA accumulate in your body and turn off your thyroid in different ways and damage your mitochondria so that your ability to burn calories decreases as the polyunsaturated fat in the food is stored in your body. 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:37.000 Canola, corn oil, safflower, all of those are highly polyunsaturated and butter is a very relatively highly saturated food. 00:04:37.000 --> 00:05:02.000 So it can be fattening if you eat enough of it, but against a background of history of having eaten a lot of soy oil and so on, just adding a little coconut oil, which is quickly absorbed and oxidized, can increase your heat production. 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:12.000 But the ability to produce heat from your food is the thing to pay attention to and sugar. 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:21.000 In a lot of experiments, just adding sugar to your diet can increase your metabolic rate by 20%. 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:29.000 So you can actually lose weight increasing your metabolism with sugar? 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:57.000 Yes, if you're shifting from a standard diet to polyunsaturated fat, shifting to include things like a lot of fruit or orange juice in particular, keeping your calories at the same level, your metabolic rate is going to increase so that you'll be hotter, your temperature 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:07.000 will not drop so low during the night and will tend to stay around a normal 98.6 during the daytime. 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:22.000 So the poofers, Dr. Peat, are mostly, I don't know if people even use corn oil, I guess they do, but mostly in more processed foods, right? 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:29.000 Like salad dressings and all kinds of stuff where they put coconut oil and soybean oil, that's probably where people get most of them? 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.000 Yeah, and mayonnaise and salad dressings. 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:39.000 Yeah, all that stuff. They put those poofers everywhere. They put them everywhere, right? 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:45.000 When they started doing that is when Americans started getting obese. 00:06:45.000 --> 00:07:12.000 And during this time, there have been people claiming that too much sugar is why Americans are getting obese, but if you look at the grain products consumption during the last several decades, that's what has increased and refined sugar has actually not increased during this obesity epidemic. 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:32.000 The background of it is that in the 1950s, they were selling the idea that polyunsaturated fats are essential oils and they blurred that concept of essentiality to mean good for you regardless of the quantity. 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:49.000 And so they said the more you eat, the lower your cholesterol will be. And they were basing the whole thing on the idea of cholesterol as a poisonous material rather than a defensive substance. 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.000 Protective substance for the arteries. 00:07:53.000 --> 00:08:07.000 Protective for the brain, the heart, everything depends on cholesterol as a source of, for example, progesterone. 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:29.000 If you are studying the amount of progesterone that an ovary can produce and you add cholesterol to the blood going into the ovary, the amount of progesterone increases coming out the other side of the ovary. 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:35.000 So it's massively constantly being used for protective substances. 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.000 Really? Wow. Very interesting. 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.000 This is a great question I want to ask you about. 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:50.000 So, it's been said, do you think that men and women actually smell the immune system? 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.000 Do you think that's possible of the other person and that's why they are attracted to them? 00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:04.000 Some people argue that while you're attracted to a person because they got a good immune system and they could maybe have children. 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.000 Do you think that's possible? 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.000 Oh, sure. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:12.000 Oh, sure, he said. Oh, really? I thought it was kind of a crazy thing. Really, tell me. 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:41.000 Not just the immune system, but the pheromones. In the case of the attractiveness of men to women, there's a definite derivative of testosterone which is very volatile, tends to come out through the skin constantly. 00:09:41.000 --> 00:10:06.000 The amount of that, people have experimented with it, taking, just extracting it right from the surface of the skin or synthesizing the same chemical and putting a tiny amount, just a milligram or so, like a mask. 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:16.000 Putting on the women as they're evaluating, just pictures of a man, for example. 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:28.000 And they'll say the man is beautiful and intelligent and kind and so on, if they have that pheromone present. 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:42.000 Isn't that fascinating. So, if they smell a little testosterone, it's almost like an instinctual, spiritual, whatever, deep thing that maybe they can have a baby, which is what a lot of girls want to do, right? 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:49.000 Yeah, I got interested in that when I was about 11 months old. 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.000 Come on, really? 00:10:51.000 --> 00:11:17.000 I had a 15 year old babysitter and I remember standing on her thigh and my nose had just reached her cheek and I remember the intoxicating smell of this young, healthy woman as better than any flower perfume. 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.000 Isn't that, and you remember this when you were 11 months old, Dr. Peter? 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.000 That was such an outstanding experience. 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.000 How can you forget that, right? 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.000 Yeah. 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:37.000 Isn't that, and so it was like a normal kind of thing, you were a guy and you kind of smelt this because this young, vibrant, fertile woman. 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:50.000 Wow. So, I wonder what that would do then to ladies who go on the pill. You think that would stop this instinct and the guys would not be able to smell them? 00:11:50.000 --> 00:12:06.000 To a great extent it does. The progesterone level following ovulation, it's the source of much of that aroma. 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:12.000 Oh, so when you're ovulating, then you get the progesterone and that might attract the guys. 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.000 Yeah. 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.000 Right? But if she's on the pill... 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.000 Yeah, there's no cycle. 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.000 There's no cycle, of course. Could that affect her ability to smell the guys if she's on the pill? 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.000 I think it does. 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:32.000 There's been stories, and I don't know how true this is, that some women, you know, they marry guys because they're on the pill, right, the whole time? 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:41.000 And so they marry them because of whatever reason, and then they get off the pill to get a baby, and then they don't like the smell of the guy because they picked the wrong guy. 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.000 I... 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.000 That could be true. I mean, that's a crazy story, but you know. 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:50.000 I think it's very logical, biologically. 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:56.000 Wow. They don't teach you this stuff in PhD school, do they? 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:15.000 No. I started reading about it because of my awareness of the difference in the skin perfume of different young women, a tremendous difference in attractiveness. 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:28.000 And so I looked up a lot of the studies with animal pheromones, and animals communicate very powerfully. 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:46.000 They can detect something like one molecule per several cubic centimeters, a dilution that you can't detect with any sort of instrument. 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:53.000 A moth can detect a potential mate a mile away. 00:13:53.000 --> 00:14:01.000 Yeah. And so that would really put a damper on this whole idea of perfumes, right? 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.000 Wouldn't you just be blocking all that stuff, even shaving lotion, anything? 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.000 Unless they put pheromones in it. 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.000 Oh, do they do that? 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.000 Yeah. 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:17.000 Oh, good. That's smart. Where do they get these pheromones, from girls? 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.000 No, they just use synthetic chemicals. 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:25.000 Oh, they use synthetic chemicals. Wow. 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.000 Well, you're talking about looking for love in all the wrong places. Boy, that could get you confused. 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:35.000 You know, I wondered about that, about dogs like I have a golden doodle. 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:44.000 And so I'll throw the ball, and maybe she'll not see it or miss it and go into the woods or something, or the weeds. 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:49.000 And she'll just go around for five minutes before smelling it. 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:55.000 Now, how can she smell my hands on that ball, and it's 30 feet away? 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.000 I mean, that's amazing, isn't it, when you think about it? Amazing. 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:11.000 Yeah, people studying moth perception, it's easier to take a moth apart and figure out how it's reacting than with a mammal. 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:21.000 But dogs are just almost as sensitive as moths in detecting just an occasional molecule. 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:35.000 And people studying the moths have argued that it isn't possible that you could detect a gradient of a mate a mile away, 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:50.000 and the number of molecules diffusing over such a huge space is just beyond a possible random chance. 00:15:50.000 --> 00:16:05.000 And so they have studied, usually in the infrared radiation frequency, and the vibration of a molecule, 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:16.000 every time that the atoms oscillate farther away and closer to each other, sort of a bouncing effect within the molecule, 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:22.000 each movement emits in the infrared frequency. 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:34.000 And they show that the moths are detecting infrared radiation emitted by these distant molecules, 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:39.000 so that the molecule doesn't really have to contact the animal. 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:43.000 It's emitting a field that the animal detects. 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:47.000 My goodness. So no wonder they can smell rabbits. 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:53.000 In the old days, they used to chase hounds, right? Or even criminals, right? 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.000 They'd get these bloodhounds after criminals? 00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:01.000 Yeah. And people actually are much more sensitive. 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:13.000 The special nerve apparatus that connects the emotional meaning of pheromone to the brain, 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:21.000 that's actually much more sensitive than a person's conscious sense of smell. 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:34.000 So that these influences happen far beyond our conscious awareness of smelling a person. 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:40.000 So we're sitting there with someone and we're just kind of falling madly, right? 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.000 There's no telling what's going on. There could be a lot of stuff going on, on all different levels, 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.000 not that you're just physically attracted to it. 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.000 Yeah, the physical attraction really is. 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.000 Not much, right? 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.000 Most of it is happening subliminally through your nose. 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.000 Wow. Wow. 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.000 Ray Peat is with us. Patrick Timpone, OneRadioNetwork.com. 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.000 He's here on the third Monday, but we had a technical... 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.000 Mercury in retrograde was having a bad hair day, but he agreed to come back. 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:16.000 So thanks so much for coming back the following day, Dr. Peat. 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.000 We have lots of good questions for you. 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:24.000 I'm really going to just throw this out there, because I've been wanting to ask you. 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.000 How do you... This is kind of a big one, but go ahead. 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:33.000 How do you think we evolved, our species, the human species? 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:39.000 I'm sure you've got a lot of theories and all the deep work and research that you've done over all these years. 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:44.000 Do you have some, your own theory about how this all happened, how we got here? 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:51.000 Yeah, the origin of life is the first big question. 00:18:51.000 --> 00:19:06.000 I think, for example, there's a youngish professor at MIT who shows that just shining light on molecules, 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:12.000 they tend to become organized. 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:18.000 Just the energy of the light is enough to create organization. 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:32.000 So energy flowing through substance is always an organizing principle and process. 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:49.000 So the primitive origin of living material is much simpler than the people with the mechanistic assumption of randomness in the universe. 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:59.000 You can't explain anything happening once you commit to that mechanical faith in randomness. 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.000 It just never happens. 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:14.000 But with the flow of energy leading to organization, things happen spontaneously. 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:36.000 A professor of chemistry, Sidney Fox, demonstrated that he believed that volcanic energy was the source of this flow of energy, 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:45.000 and that it was most relevant, although the solar energy is another guiding factor. 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:58.000 He showed that if you take a mixture of a random assortment of amino acids, and amino acids can occur spontaneously. 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:13.000 He showed that if you take a mixture of a random assortment of amino acids, and amino acids can occur spontaneously. 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:25.000 He then sprinkled water on it, just the two simplest operations, and then looked at the result under a microscope, 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:33.000 and he saw what looked like a multitude of small, round bacteria. 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:40.000 Spontaneously formed proteins from the heat and water combination. 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:55.000 He showed that those little bacteria-like spheres could assimilate amino acids and make new proteins. 00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:00.000 So they had the enzyme-like function spontaneously. 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:11.000 It didn't take a chance a billion years to create anything that was popping right out of the nature of existence. 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:23.000 So it's like life is built, it's a property of matter that simply takes the right conditions to be expressed. 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:37.000 So then from this idea, then life just sprung out of whatever God is, and then we evolved? 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:43.000 Do you think the species evolved through the oceans and stuff like that? 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:54.000 Yeah, if it went off in the ocean, it might develop jellyfish or something appropriate for the situation. 00:22:54.000 --> 00:23:07.000 But I think the tendency is not just to produce life, but to produce more and more life. 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:14.000 More and more intelligence, more awareness. 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:25.000 That's just as much a part of the nature of the universe as to spontaneously form life. 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:31.000 It's to lead to more and more life and more and more intelligence. 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:37.000 Yeah, that would be the God force just to express more intelligence, right? 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:48.000 Yeah, it implies a sort of pantheism. 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:53.000 But what about the whole monkey-ape thing? That didn't happen, right? 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.000 Which thing? 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.000 The monkeys and the apes and all that. 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:03.000 That whole missing link thing, that never... I mean, we are separate from the apes, right? Humans? 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:10.000 Yeah, the chimpanzees went off on a strange vegetarian diet. 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:21.000 I think humans needed, for one thing, a high concentration of energy in the environment, 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:28.000 and living in an area with good fruit where energy grows on trees. 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:38.000 I think that's the most likely thing that we could satisfy our need for more and more energy 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:50.000 if we had an abundance of sugar-rich, somewhat protein-providing food available. 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:59.000 Right. So this idea would not be... there would be no elimination or separation from 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:04.000 a divine creation or God, whatever you want to call it, because it's all part of this, right? 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:09.000 This is all... we're all immersed in the whole process, God is, whatever God is. 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:17.000 Yeah, there's no random chance involved in the creative process. 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:23.000 So if we're... I think we're spiritual beings, souls. I wonder when they pop in, maybe they pop in... 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:32.000 maybe we're all... maybe souls exist in the sand and stuff, amoebas, right? 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:38.000 Yeah, the question of where soul appears in the universe. 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:44.000 People have been more and more generous. 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:51.000 They used to say babies were unconscious, didn't experience pain. 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:55.000 Even when I was in graduate school, my professors said, 00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.000 "No, you don't need to anesthetize a baby to do surgery," 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:05.000 because even though they might be screaming and turning red, 00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.000 their brains aren't developed enough to experience pain. 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.000 They told you that in school? 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.000 Right, right, in 1957. 00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.000 My goodness, what are these guys smoking? 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:21.000 That was the standard psychologist opinion. 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.000 Wow. Man. 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:29.000 At the time, I understood that they were insane, but... 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:32.000 You knew they were crackers, right? 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.000 You knew they were... wow. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:40.000 And so I guess when they then... what do they call it when they take the skin off, the foreskin and all that? 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.000 What do they do that? 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.000 Yeah, there are still people who argue you don't need an anesthetic. 00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.000 Really? To do that? To get a... what do they call that? 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.000 Circumcision. 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:49.000 Yeah, circumcision. 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:53.000 So people that argue you don't need to do that because the babies don't feel pain? 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.000 That's still argued. 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.000 My goodness. 00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:03.000 I wonder where that whole circumcision came from. Is that a religious thing? 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:09.000 Yeah, there have been a few people trace back the history of it. 00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:16.000 And it's pretty obvious that it was intended as an anti-sexual thing. 00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.000 Anti-sexual? 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:23.000 Yeah, to make mating more controllable. 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.000 Why would that be? 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.000 For authoritarian purposes, I think. 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:37.000 You don't want people running around mating just whenever they feel like it. 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:45.000 So to have a stable society, it's easier if they dull their sexual responses. 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.000 So actually circumcision dulls the sexual... 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:55.000 I thought it was the opposite, where it makes the penis more... without the skin it makes it more... 00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:09.000 No, the foreskin protects the surface membrane so that they're extremely oversensitive. 00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:21.000 Without the foreskin, the surface of the end of the penis becomes thickened and loses its sensibility. 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:24.000 Really? Wow. That's no fun. 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:29.000 So, Dr. Ray Peat is with us. I can't believe we just went there. 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.000 But that's okay. Stay right there. We're going to do a little commercial and then we'll take some emails. Ready? 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:35.000 We've got some good ones for you. 00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.000 Okay. 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.000 Stay right there. 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.000 This is Dr. Ray Peat, Patrick Timpone, OneRadioNetwork.com. 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.000 He's so much fun to talk to. 00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:47.000 I'm going to tell you all about his website in just a second and where you can get his newsletter. 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:52.000 I'll tell you right now, it's RayPeat'sNewsletter@gmail.com. 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:58.000 RayPeat'sNewsletter@gmail.com. 00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:01.000 You can just go on there and you send him an email. 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:04.000 That's an email address, sorry. 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.000 And then you send him an email and you just sign up. 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.000 And it's very affordable. 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.000 I don't know. I don't even remember what it was. 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.000 But it's just not much money at all. 00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.000 And it comes out every couple of months. 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:23.000 Some really cool stuff and pretty geeky things about your health that you just won't hear anywhere else. 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.000 So, that's a nice way to support him. 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:30.000 Just RayPeat'sNewsletter@gmail.com. 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.000 There you go. 00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:41.000 This is a conversation with Phil who sells and is the distributor of our sauna a few years ago. 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.000 I mean, this is a while ago, but he's a cool guy. 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:45.000 Listen. 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:51.000 Previously with a long-time friend, Phil Wilson, the exclusive distributor of the Relax Far Infrared Sauna. 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:56.000 I've been sweating and promoting the benefits of saunas and sweating for 16 years now. 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:57.000 Can you believe it? 00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.000 Wow, 16 years. 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.000 Regularly that long? 00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:05.000 20 minutes a day for about 15 years now. 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.000 Six months ago. 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:09.000 Man, I started doing it every day and I don't think I've missed a day. 00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:13.000 How this has improved my life, I mean, I can't tell you. 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.000 It's pretty amazing. 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.000 I'll tell you what. 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:17.000 I feel better and better. 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.000 What's going on? 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.000 Well, the proof is definitely in the pudding. 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:28.000 And if a person would go to YouTube and search for Relax Sauna testimonials, 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:34.000 they'll get 650 testimonies on what the Relax Sauna has done for different individuals. 00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:40.000 From feeling better to getting rid of extreme pain to getting rid of neuropathy 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:46.000 to just helping a person feel more calm, alert, relaxed, tuned in, and everything else. 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:47.000 And everything else. 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.000 These are really nice units. 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.000 Right now, our current price, because they went up a little bit over in the beginning, 00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.000 you know, a few months ago, it was all about the shipping coming in. 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.000 These are made at a medical university in Taiwan. 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:00.000 Really nice units. 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.000 You can see a picture on audio. 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.000 You can just go on our website and check out the picture. 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.000 And it's a personal unit. 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.000 They come with a very nice chair. 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:13.000 Put a towel over that puppy and then you just sweat. 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:19.000 You've got to make sure you're drinking plenty of water and get your little electrolyte things that I do. 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:24.000 I use a calcium, I think it's calcium bicarbonate, a couple other things. 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.000 I use a liquid one. That's the one I like. 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:34.000 But, you know, you can find some different electrolytes. 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:39.000 And, well, let's not repeat about some electrolytes in foods. 00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.000 I guess food. I bet you my orange juice has got electrolytes. 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.000 Just email me if you'd like to get one. 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.000 1,295 delivered in the lower 48. 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:53.000 1,295 delivered in the lower 48. 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.000 And just email me, patrick@oneradionetwork.com. 00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:58.000 We ship them all over the world, too. 00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:09.000 Here's a little basic information on our hydrogen that we breathe and drink the water from George Wiseman. 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.000 And if I put the lever up, it would work. 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:20.000 This was previously with George Wiseman about his AquaCure machine making hydrogen, gas and water out of the same hose. 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:21.000 Listen. 00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:28.000 The body accepts that gas and uses it to heal everything. 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.000 It's like the fountain of youth. 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.000 It's astonishing the amount of ailments. 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:37.000 In fact, in scientific studies, and they have over a thousand scientific studies now, 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:45.000 they are showing that it either helps the body heal directly or indirectly from virtually every ailment that ails any water-based life form. 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.000 But it works just as well on animals and plants and lizards and birds and everybody. 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:56.000 And you're saying this because this machine called the AquaCure split into five different parts. 00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.000 Six. 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:04.000 I got hydrogen, oxygen, electro, enhanced water, water vapors, monatomic hydrogen. What else? 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.000 And monatomic oxygen. 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.000 Oh, the monoxygen. 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.000 And that's what your machine does? 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:09.000 It splits it? 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:14.000 Yes, it makes that mixture inside the machine and all that comes out of a single hose. 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.000 The same hose. 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.000 Gas? 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:17.000 Has a gas in gaseous form, yes. 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.000 And you breathe it or you put it in water? 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:27.000 So if you bubble the browns gas into this water, into let's say distilled water, it will go to a negative ORP. 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:32.000 And when you drink that, it actually gives your body an electrical energy. 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.000 These electrons. Instead of sucking energy from you, it gives it. 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:40.000 So you can have water that is healthful and not healthful just by the energy that's in the water. 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.000 You want to get one? Me too. Ours is on the way. 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:47.000 Well, that was two years ago and we got it and we've been breathing and we love it. 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:51.000 I think you'll enjoy it too. Try it. It's fun stuff. 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:59.000 You can go to molecularhydrogeninstitute.org or com, I think it's a com, and check it out. 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:06.000 And you'll see just hundreds and hundreds of peer-reviewed studies on the molecular hydrogen. 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.000 It's used mostly in Japan and China, but they're beginning to do it now. 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:13.000 And they're having some great results with cancer cells. 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.000 We don't make any claims like it's going to cure your cancer. 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.000 Don't trust me. We don't do that. 00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:26.000 But also with people recovering more easily from the dreaded strokes and all that. 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.000 When people lose mobility. 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.000 So it's pretty interesting. 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.000 Molecularhydrogeninstitute.org or com, I believe. 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.000 And then just come on my website, patrick@oneradionetwork.com. 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.000 There's an email if you'd like to get more questions. 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.000 Then go to the website and you'll see the hydrogen there. 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.000 Click on it, promo code "oneradio" and you get yourself one. 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.000 And it's a lifetime warranty. 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:56.000 So I think it's a pretty good thing to kind of do. 00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:57.000 You know what I mean? 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:04.000 From the hill country in Texas, this is oneradionetwork.com. 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:09.000 Dr. Ray Peat is here. His website is rayPeat.com. 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.000 He has a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Oregon. 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:17.000 Specialization in physiology. 00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:23.000 And he's taught at different medical schools in Montana State University. 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:26.000 Spent some time in Mexico. 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:31.000 And now is up in Oregon and is here once a month. 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.000 So this is two or three questions on this one. 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.000 So I'm going to do this one first, Dr. Peat. 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.000 People are concerned with loved ones that even though they didn't do this injection, 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.000 they want to know about wives and husbands and daughters that have. 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:53.000 Anything that they can do to mitigate the potential dangers of this thing, whatever it is. 00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:02.000 The spike protein is the toxic part of the virus when it infects you. 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:13.000 And it's exactly the spike protein that is produced inside your body as a result of the vaccination. 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:29.000 So exactly the same things that protect you from the virus itself will help to protect against the symptoms of spike protein injection. 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:38.000 And those are basically anti-inflammatory things of all sorts as long as they're non-toxic. 00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:59.000 And anti-coagulant and usually anti-inflammatory things tend to be also anti-coagulants because inflammation leads to clotting of the blood. 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:17.000 But some doctors like Peter McCullough use well-known drugs that are a combination of anti-coagulant and anti-inflammatory. 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:33.000 But common substances are orange juice, vitamin D, aspirin, progesterone, lidocaine even, coffee. 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:45.000 Coffee has been found to be very protective against the COVID infection and undoubtedly will help to protect against the vaccine. 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:50.000 Wow, good stuff. Coffee, orange juice, what's not to like, right? 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:56.000 And I guess ivermectin, Dr. Peat, is anti-inflammatory. That's one of the big things that that does? 00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:04.000 Yep. Also hydroxychloroquine, very anti-inflammatory. 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:13.000 Bitter things in general tend to be helpful, anti-coagulants and anti-inflammatory. 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:20.000 Quinine is one of our oldest broad spectrum drugs. 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:30.000 And the chloroquine and the hydroxychloroquine are derivatives of quinine. 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:38.000 Did they use quinine water years ago to help people get rid of some kind of disease? 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:46.000 Cramps. They help with sleep disorders and cramps by being anti-inflammatory. 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.000 Can you even get real quinine water these days? Do they sell it? 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.000 Yeah, tonic water they call it. 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:58.000 Just tonic, quinine tonic water. And it helps with sleep because it's anti-inflammatory. 00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:59.000 Yeah. 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.000 Wow, that's pretty cool. 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.000 Here's an email for you from Charita. 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:12.000 My daughter went to the gynecologist yesterday and the doctor saw right off that she had a lump on her thyroid. 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:21.000 My daughter is very thin, exercises every day, is cold most of the time, and her neck and ears have been bothering her. 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:29.000 What is, Dr. Peat, do you think that this could be the cause, the lumps, and what could she do to shrink it? 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.000 Did she get blood tests? 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:35.000 She doesn't say, Doc. 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:48.000 When your TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone, is chronically elevated because you have eaten thyroid-blocking foods, 00:39:48.000 --> 00:40:00.000 which could be polyunsaturated fats or too much cabbage or related vegetables containing thyroid suppressors, 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:17.000 the TSH keeps driving your thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone to compensate for the toxins in your diet. 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:33.000 And that constant stimulation, for example, if you spend 40 years consuming iodized salt, the incidence of thyroid cancer is much higher. 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:43.000 But the nodules are the first sign of something interfering with the function of your thyroid hormone, 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:50.000 tending to keep your thyroid stimulating hormone elevated unnecessarily. 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.000 Above one, and you like it below one, right? 00:40:53.000 --> 00:41:03.000 Actually below 0.4, as people in that range are basically immune to thyroid cancer. 00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:10.000 Immune. And so, do we know, Dr. Peat, why the little lumps form in a case like this, what they're doing? 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.000 Is it just toxins? 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:23.000 It's just evidence of the thyroid being driven beyond its capacity. 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:30.000 For example, estrogen inhibits the release of active hormone, 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:42.000 but it doesn't inhibit the creation of the protein called thyroglobulin, which leads to the active hormone. 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:55.000 So a high estrogen person, late teens or around menopause, are the times that the estrogen can get out of balance. 00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:01.000 Those are the times when the thyroid very often enlarges in women. 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:21.000 But sometimes instead of enlarging evenly, it's being interfered with in ways that favor just a nodule formation. 00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:35.000 I see. So that would coincide with, oftentimes, for low thyroid, some of the symptoms are often difficulty swallowing. 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:38.000 So because the thyroid is enlarging? 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:55.000 Yeah, hoarseness, vocal problems, sometimes loss even of vocal ability to make speech sounds, 00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:03.000 and scrappy, sore throat, difficulty swallowing and so on. 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:08.000 You can pretty much see whether your own thyroid is enlarged. 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:18.000 If you look in the mirror and swing your chin from side to side, the motion of the muscles, 00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:27.000 you'll see a sort of a thick pad to each side of your voice box. 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.000 If the thyroid is very enlarged, you can see. 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:33.000 Oh, you can see it pop out. 00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:40.000 Yeah, a soft bulge that stays put. 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:47.000 If the thyroid is shrunken by supplementing too much thyroid, 00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:58.000 you'll tend to see dents between the big muscle at the side of your neck and your voice box. 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:10.000 The thyroid gland normally makes that smooth, inconspicuous, more or less continuous shape. 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:19.000 But if it's shrunken too much, then you'll see an indentation in the absence of the thyroid. 00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:22.000 But the thyroid adjusts very quickly. 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:29.000 So if you have shrunken it by taking too much, you stop taking the overdose, 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:35.000 and just overnight you can see the gland return to its normal size. 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.000 Interesting. 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:42.000 And if you take a large dose of thyroid supplement, 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:48.000 the gland will quickly begin shrinking to a normal size. 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:55.000 Does the TSH level adjust that quickly as well? 00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:01.000 Like if you would go in and two weeks later after changing something, or would you have to wait longer? 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:03.000 Oh, no. It changes in a matter of hours. 00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:07.000 How interesting. In a matter of hours. 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:16.000 Yeah, the T4 thyroxin has a long half-life in the body of two weeks. 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:28.000 So it takes about a month for that to change enough that you see a big change in your TSH. 00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:38.000 But if you're using a T3 supplement and you stop, the half-life of that is only about 12 hours to a day. 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:44.000 And so in two or three days, if you've been on T3 only, 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:55.000 then you'll see a tremendous increase in your TSH level because the thyroid level has dropped so fast. 00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:02.000 Now the basic thyroid meds that are out there, what are the ones that are even available right now? 00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:06.000 Is it Nature Throid? Is that still popular? 00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:12.000 The last thing I heard was that they were having some problem, 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:18.000 and so a lot of the people were changing to Armour or Cenoplus. 00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:21.000 One of the other combinations. 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:30.000 Novo, Tural, and Cenoplus are two synthetic equivalents of the natural glandular. 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.000 But they work the same well, if I understand correctly. 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:39.000 They have both active components, T3 and T4. 00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:46.000 So the ones that are going around now, they're T3 and T4? 00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:47.000 Yeah. 00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:49.000 They're a mixture? 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:58.000 That's the most practical physiological mixture. It imitates the natural glandular balance. 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:03.000 And the natural glandular balance, what does that have in it? Are they all of them as well? 00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:11.000 Yeah, it also has a little bit of precursors, T1 and T2. 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:16.000 T2 works just the same as T3, practically. 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.000 But there's only a very tiny amount of that. 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.000 Dr. Ray Peat, Patrick Timpone. 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.000 Tomorrow we're going to talk with Charlie Sewell. 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.000 Charlie's got a very concise, we think, well thought out, 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:34.000 he has a whole team of one page religious exemption for this jab. 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.000 We're going to talk about it tomorrow. We'll go through it line by line. 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:39.000 It's just one page. Not guaranteeing it's going to work, 00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:45.000 but if someone is forcing you to do something, you might want to get this. 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.000 We'll send it to you. And you make two copies, send one, and we'll tell you how to do it. 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:51.000 That'll be tomorrow at 10 o'clock. 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.000 Charlie's a very smart guy. He's got some Supreme Court things in there. 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.000 And pretty interesting. 00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:04.000 And then Dr. Thomas Cowan and Andrew Kaufman are going to be here tomorrow at 1 o'clock. 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.000 And we'll talk more about their work. 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:12.000 Dr. Peat, while I've got you here, I know that you've liked their work, Kaufman and Cowan, 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:15.000 but you've disagreed with a few things. 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:21.000 What's the number one thing you kind of disagree with their "show me the virus" theory? 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:32.000 You can demonstrate the existence of something without being able to isolate it. 00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:54.000 They want isolation in the sense of being able to make pictures of it and then show that the substance you've photographed will produce the disease. 00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:14.000 That has been done roughly, but the indirect evidence of the presence of toxic material is the general practice. 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:28.000 You can demonstrate the presence of certain antigens on the virus, and you can take it apart chemically, 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:43.000 and use different physical demonstrations that confirm the structure and presence of the material, 00:49:43.000 --> 00:50:01.000 even though the preparation of the material for an electron microscope picture, you don't necessarily have to have a completely pure sample. 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:09.000 You can distinguish by the shape of the substance what you have under the microscope, 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:27.000 and show that there are virus bodies present that sometimes look the same as exosomes or extracellular vesicles. 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:47.000 Then you can show that they have the particular chemistry of the spike protein, 00:50:47.000 --> 00:51:02.000 and that either the DNA or the RNA has been assimilated. 00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:17.000 The spike protein is likely to contain some of the spike protein exactly the way the virus would have, 00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:29.000 but we wouldn't have assimilated the spike protein without exposure to either the virus or the vaccine. 00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:34.000 On the isolation idea, I think, and I don't want to speak for them because it's above my pay grade, 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:42.000 but don't they argue that if you don't have it totally completely isolated, which no one has done in my understanding, 00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:46.000 then you don't know what people are potentially getting. 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:51.000 Like, you know, they do monkey kidneys, and they starve to sell, and they put toxins in there. 00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:55.000 Doesn't that argument hold water for you? 00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:15.000 No, because there is such a long history of being able to modify the nucleic acids of animals, bacteria, viruses, everything. 00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:21.000 The technology exists for changing the DNA sequence. 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:31.000 For example, in the 1990s, the Defense Department was collecting smallpox viruses 00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:44.000 and were experimenting with re-engineering them, the smallpox virus, to make it get around the vaccination 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:58.000 so that it would be a bioweapon that would kill people and be just as effective in vaccinated individuals. 00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:03.000 You can do that with any of the existing diseases. 00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:13.000 You can modify them in the lab, and the germ warfare industry has been doing that, 00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:22.000 not publicizing it very much, but Ralph Berrick in his lab in North Carolina 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:32.000 and working with Fort Detrick and the military has expressed in his publications 00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:42.000 exactly some of the modifications that they are making in the coronavirus and other viruses 00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:46.000 to make them more infective, more toxic. 00:53:46.000 --> 00:54:01.000 So the technology is relatively open, even though we don't know the extent of how much is being done secretly still. 00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:06.000 But could these things be this gain-of-function thing, or when they juice it up in the lab, 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:12.000 could they even be released in the air and you breathe it in and get them? 00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:18.000 Yep. They've designed them so that they test them on animals. 00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:27.000 They put an air channel between cages and blow the air from one cage into another, 00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:35.000 and they can demonstrate that the disease is transmitted by air in some cases. 00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:39.000 And then mammals could then share them with others? 00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:46.000 Yeah, once they're infected, then it goes from one individual to another, 00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:52.000 if it's a highly infectious air transmission. 00:54:52.000 --> 00:55:00.000 But many viruses only are transmitted by body fluids. 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.000 But essentially, the viruses aren't living, right? In the body, they're dead, aren't they? 00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:17.000 Well, they are analogs of our own nucleic acid systems. 00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:26.000 And so we are constantly producing virus-like particles, the exosomes or extracellular vesicles 00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:31.000 that carry genetic information around within our bodies. 00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:39.000 And those particles, our own natural exosomes, can be transmitted by body fluids 00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:44.000 and probably through exhalations. 00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:56.000 You can condense lots of proteins and nucleic acids just by holding a cold object under your nose when you exhale. 00:55:56.000 --> 00:56:04.000 So they're in a volatile form that condenses on the cold object. 00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:14.000 And our natural exosomes are included in that, sometimes free DNA, free RNA. 00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:19.000 Other times it's packaged in a little capsule like an exosome. 00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:25.000 So these are the guys that were sharing potentially beneficial information with other people, right? 00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:37.000 Yeah. And the toxic part, like the spike protein, are what causes diseases. 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:50.000 And some viruses are probably exosomes from some organism that simply is out of place. 00:56:50.000 --> 00:57:01.000 Like people were transmitting plant diseases by rubbing plant viruses with pumice powder 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:07.000 into the leaves of the plants to produce some plant disease. 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:18.000 And two of these people working with a particular plant virus, which they rubbed in with their fingers in a pumice powder mixture, 00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:27.000 two of these researchers at the same university came down within a period of just a few months 00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:32.000 with a degenerative brain disease that killed them in a short time. 00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:44.000 So it's very likely that the plant viruses being rubbed into the skin with pumice is what caused the brain disease. 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:46.000 Wow. Fascinating. 00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:49.000 Here's an email from Mandy. Thanks for that, Doc. 00:57:49.000 --> 00:58:02.000 For someone with parasites and high toxin burden, how do you start slowly opening drainage pathways pre-tox without homeopathics? 00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:08.000 Oh, without homeopathics. So they're wanting to kind of get warmed up to detoxify, I guess it sounds like. 00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.000 Did you say with parasites? 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:13.000 Yes, someone with parasites. 00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:20.000 The first thing is to get rid of the parasites and sometimes a change of diet. 00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:32.000 If they're in the intestine, just a radical change of diet, like a very high fiber diet sometimes is all it takes, 00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:46.000 or having more digestible foods, sometimes flowers of sulfur is enough to get rid of certain parasites. 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:54.000 Amoebas, for example, sometimes are eliminated by just a small amount of flowers of sulfur. 00:58:54.000 --> 00:59:05.000 Other times, things like ivermectin, they work against a great variety of parasites. 00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:15.000 Here's an email from Harish. Adrenal glands are required for making cortisol and aldosterone from progesterone, right? 00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:31.000 How did progesterone substitute for the absence of adrenal glands in the Hans Selye experiment? 00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:44.000 He was experimenting with the adrenal stress syndrome. 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:58.000 He would remove the adrenal glands and study the effects of how the absence of the adrenals led to the stress sensitivity of the animal, 00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:02.000 so that a mild stress would kill them. 01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:11.000 But some of his animals happened to be pregnant when their adrenal glands were removed. 01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:20.000 He found that they were perfectly stress tolerant as long as they were pregnant. 01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:35.000 As soon as they delivered their litter, the usual absence of the adrenals led to stress sensitivity and easy death from a mild shock. 01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:43.000 So he experimented removing the adrenals and supplementing progesterone, 01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:52.000 and found that the animals would live a normal lifespan as long as they were supplemented just with progesterone. 01:00:52.000 --> 01:01:17.000 Intrinsically, progesterone has anti-inflammatory functions that overlap with cortisol and also intrinsic salt-regulating functions that overlap with aldosterone. 01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:33.000 Those middle-of-the-range functions of progesterone mean that if your adrenals are having a tumor, 01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:55.000 for example, making too much aldosterone or too much cortisol, dosing with progesterone mediates or moderates those effects so that it acts as an antitoxin to the overdose of adrenal steroids. 01:01:55.000 --> 01:02:00.000 So it's a moderator of basically everything. 01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:15.000 Complementary to that progesterone anti-stress effect, he supplemented estrogen and found that large doses of estrogen created shock, 01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:28.000 as if analogous to removing the adrenals, that the estrogen was an amplifier of stress and shock. 01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:34.000 Wow, well, very interesting. 01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:36.000 Here's an email from Chelsea for you, Doc. 01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:48.000 Hi, I recently, this month, started progesterone, about 30 mg at night, during the second two weeks of my cycle to deal with PCOS and fibroids. 01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:56.000 While I'm on it, it helps, and when I stop for the second two weeks, I feel bloated and discomfort in the ovaries. 01:02:56.000 --> 01:03:04.000 Any advice on dosage? Also, just started tiny amounts of CYLAMEL. 01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:22.000 Yeah, usually behind the deficiency of progesterone or the excess of estrogen in the luteal phase, usually the reason for that is low thyroid function. 01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:37.000 Supplementing thyroid will tend to lower the amount of estrogen in the body while raising the amount of progesterone, improving the ratio. 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:53.000 So, most often, normalizing your thyroid hormone function takes care of your estrogen, progesterone, premenstrual problems, such as PCOS. 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:56.000 Here's an email from Mandy. 01:03:56.000 --> 01:03:59.000 How would you deal with a heavy metal detox injury? 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:09.000 Wow, I used a large dose of cilantro one day without realizing I had blocked detox pathways after a long time, a decade or so of Lyme-like diseases. 01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:23.000 I seem to have triggered mass cell overactivation and I'm unable to tolerate any drainage or detox, and I become extremely histamine, EMF, and sulfate intolerant. 01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:40.000 Cilantro just happens to be a fairly strong allergen, and the seeds of the plant are even worse. 01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:53.000 The whole family of plants, the caraway seeds, for example, are similar. 01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:59.000 That whole family of plants can be extremely allergenic. 01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:11.000 I don't think it has anything to do with metal detoxification. It's just that, for some reason, cilantro has that reputation. 01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:20.000 Really, it's a good-tasting herb with the risk of being extremely allergenic for some people. 01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:26.000 So, she may be assuming or maybe misdiagnosing this thing. 01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:30.000 Yeah, in the sense of the detoxing. 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:51.000 If you normalize your metabolism, get oxidative metabolism going, normal thyroid and hormone balances, then the metals will take care of themselves gradually, leaving in your urine. 01:05:51.000 --> 01:06:00.000 What's Dr. Peat's view on mass cell activation and why mass cells become overactive? 01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:10.000 Estrogen is a very powerful activator and attractant to mass cells. 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:17.000 Progesterone, by balancing the estrogen effect, will neutralize that. 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:30.000 The overactive bladder syndrome is a common effect of chronically high estrogen production. 01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:34.000 Here's one from Ben. I'm 72. 01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:51.000 May all want to gain more muscle. Have followed your idea of not taking in too much iron. So, what can I safely eat to build up testosterone and subsequent muscle? 01:06:51.000 --> 01:07:11.000 The right kind of muscle activity in itself will increase your testosterone resistance activity of the muscles up to a limit. 01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:21.000 You don't want to overstress your muscles or reach the point of getting out of breath. 01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:41.000 If you gradually use resistance exercise to build your muscles, that in itself is lowering the catabolic cortisone category of steroids while increasing the testosterone and androgen category. 01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:47.000 And then it matters not too much about what you're eating. They'll grow if you do that. 01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:52.000 Just keep your protein intake in the normal range. 01:07:52.000 --> 01:08:04.000 Would you please ask Dr. Peat about what medicine to take if I catch the coronavirus? I get very sick from histamine intolerance and that makes me worried about the virus. 01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:30.000 The Chinese at the very beginning of late 2019, they were finding that antihistamines and antiserotonin drugs that they were familiar with were specifically acting protectively against that virus. 01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:45.000 So, something like cyproheptadine, a common antihistamine, antiserotonin drug, is known to be helpful. 01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:54.000 But right from the very beginning, that was one of the important observations in China. 01:08:54.000 --> 01:09:00.000 Ray Peat is here, generally on the third Monday, but we had technical difficulties yesterday. 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:04.000 This is from somebody in Florida. 01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:12.000 Whenever I eat well-boiled mushrooms, caps without the stems, cooked for three hours, I don't sleep well. 01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:16.000 Does Dr. Peat have any idea why this would be? 01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:36.000 Could be an allergy, I suppose. It's good to avoid things, especially late in the day, to avoid things that might not fit your digestive system. 01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:45.000 Having easily digestible carbohydrates late in the day is usually best for good sleep. 01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:48.000 And what are those, easily digestible ones? 01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:53.000 I like orange juice and ice cream. 01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:55.000 Sure, of course. 01:09:55.000 --> 01:10:00.000 Sometimes tortillas. 01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:02.000 Corn tortillas? 01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:07.000 Yeah, mixed them all in. Lime processed. 01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:10.000 Do you make your own? 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:14.000 Rarely. It's quite a process. 01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:17.000 But you can actually buy the nixtamalized ones? 01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:27.000 Yeah, if you look carefully at the labels, they should contain nothing but corn, lime processed corn. 01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:29.000 Pretty fun. 01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:36.000 Could you ask Dr. Peat about microfiber sheets for sleeping? 01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:41.000 Also, often cotton shirts and underwear are combined with some polyester in the fabric. 01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:48.000 Are these clothing articles made with polyester possibly hazardous to our health? 01:10:48.000 --> 01:10:52.000 They aren't ideal. 01:10:52.000 --> 01:11:00.000 The polyester tends to allow bacterial growth. 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:12.000 The cotton, by being absorbent on a very deep level, effectively is somewhat antiseptic. 01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:18.000 So I think natural, organic cotton is always the best fiber. 01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:30.000 Wool, next best. Flax or linen, very safe if it's organic. 01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:37.000 Could you please ask Dr. Peat if being on a low calorie diet lowers the thyroid, 01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:45.000 and how can a person go back to eating a normal amount of calories without weight gain? 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:54.000 That involves getting the right balance of electrolytes and carbohydrates in particular, 01:11:54.000 --> 01:12:06.000 and then generally avoiding fats because of the anti-metabolic polyunsaturated. 01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:17.000 But getting enough sodium and potassium, calcium and magnesium is the essential thing 01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:26.000 because they will minimize stress and stop some of the catabolic processes. 01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:33.000 And then the carbohydrate and protein will work more efficiently. 01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:37.000 I see. With Dr. Ray Peat, it is the 21st, we are live here. 01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:40.000 Oh, you know, you mentioned electrolytes, Doc, I wanted to ask. 01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:44.000 I like to do saunas and I do plenty of water with some electrolytes. 01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:50.000 Any foods that would help me to make sure that I'm not over-saunoing, sweating? 01:12:50.000 --> 01:13:00.000 I think when you artificially increase your body temperature, you burn sugar very fast. 01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:09.000 So orange juice is a good thing to have during and right after a sauna. 01:13:09.000 --> 01:13:18.000 But the endurance athletes have discovered that having some baking soda in water 01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:24.000 before the stressful exercise greatly increases their endurance. 01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:33.000 What it's doing is guaranteeing that you will oxidize your glucose most efficiently. 01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:40.000 And the carbon dioxide released from the baking soda is part of it. 01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:54.000 The sodium contributes. The specific requirement of each of the alkaline minerals, 01:13:54.000 --> 01:14:03.000 magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium, it isn't as important as the total alkaline load. 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:11.000 One to a great extent will supplement a deficiency of the other. 01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:19.000 For example, when the parathyroid glands were removed, leading to the cramps, 01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:29.000 because the theory was that it was simply an absolute calcium deficiency causing the cramping. 01:14:29.000 --> 01:14:36.000 But experimenters found that sodium bicarbonate would relax the cramps, 01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:41.000 even with the deficiency of parathyroid and calcium. 01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:50.000 So there's an overlap, which is essentially an alkalizing effect. 01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:57.000 Interesting. I could also do some milk with some sugar in it, too. Would that help? 01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:03.000 Yes. The calcium in the milk is extremely important for keeping your parathyroid under control. 01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:11.000 So calcium and sodium are the ones that we have to pay most attention to. 01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:23.000 Vegetables and fruits are loaded in general with magnesium and potassium. 01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:29.000 So the calcium and sodium are more likely to be deficient in those. 01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:37.000 Dr. Peat Mark wants to know if you can explain to him how to be properly hydrated in general. 01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:43.000 Keeping the minerals up is a big part of it. 01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:54.000 If your thyroid is working, you will retain minerals appropriately and keep your minerals in balance. 01:15:54.000 --> 01:16:00.000 That will keep you on an anabolic balance. 01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:15.000 The production of carbon dioxide helps to regulate both the fluids and the minerals such as sodium. 01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:20.000 Here's a good question, Dr. Peat Foy from Samantha. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit. 01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:29.000 What's the best way to purify water at home if I'm not able to do an RO system, reverse osmosis, in my apartment? 01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:34.000 She wants to purify water, in particular, removing fluoride. 01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:42.000 She's asking about maybe distiller, ceramic filters like Berkey, or charcoal filters. 01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:47.000 For fluoride, I think the only way to do it is distillation. 01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:51.000 Distillation. That gets rid of it, right? I think, doesn't it? 01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:52.000 What was that? 01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:55.000 Distillation gets rid of fluoride, doesn't it, Dr. Peat? 01:16:55.000 --> 01:17:08.000 Oh, sure. All of the minerals, lead, mercury, aluminum, everything in the dirty water supply. 01:17:08.000 --> 01:17:14.000 So maybe that would be the easiest way, the most inexpensive way, right? Just get a little distiller machine. 01:17:14.000 --> 01:17:20.000 Yeah. 01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:26.000 Wow. This is interesting. From Leanne. I'm moving towards 50. 01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:31.000 I'm still having my periods, and I'd like to extend my fertility life, 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:37.000 because I'd like to wait another year or two before I have another baby, before I can't any longer. 01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:41.000 Any advice from Dr. Peat? Thanks for the show. That's a good question. 01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:47.000 So, she's still menstruating, close to 50, and she wants to move it forward. 01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:49.000 Any ideas on what you can do? 01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:53.000 Watching the general nutrition is the first thing. 01:17:53.000 --> 01:18:05.000 But women of any age who are approaching menopause, sometimes it happens in the 40s even, 01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:21.000 and going to fertility clinics, I've known women who failed repeatedly at the fertility various procedures, 01:18:21.000 --> 01:18:28.000 who, if they just took thyroid hormone, immediately got pregnant. 01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:35.000 And sometimes in my nutrition classes, just by changing their diet, 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:45.000 people who are thought to be infertile for 10 years, would suddenly get pregnant just during a two or three months class. 01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:50.000 Just more variety of good nutrients, all the vitamins and minerals. 01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:58.000 Yeah, and thyroid is the essential fertility hormone, because it keeps down excessive estrogen, 01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:03.000 and keeps up your pregnenolone and progesterone production. 01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:10.000 I guess there's probably no clock on women's menstruation. I guess it just depends. 01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:15.000 No real-time clock on it? 01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:28.000 No. At one of my talks, an old gynecologist said at the end of the talk, "Yeah, progesterone is good stuff." 01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:36.000 He pointed to his wife, who was a very young-looking woman. 01:19:36.000 --> 01:19:45.000 He said, "I've been giving her progesterone for 20 years, and she's 63 and still menstruating." 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:47.000 Is that right? Progesterone? 01:19:47.000 --> 01:19:53.000 Yeah, and her overall appearance was maybe 40 years old. 01:19:53.000 --> 01:19:57.000 And she was 63-some. Wow. 01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:04.000 So this is kind of complicated, but this lady really wants some help, and so I'm going to do it here, so bear with me. 01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:12.000 She says, "I had preeclampsia in both of my pregnancies, more severe the second time, and was put on a magnesium drip. 01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:21.000 My doctor and midwife said it was very dangerous for me to consider having another baby because of my history of preeclampsia. 01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:31.000 I have a better understanding now, but there are things I can do to prepare before pregnancy again." 01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:39.000 I want to hear from Dr. Peat. What causes preeclampsia, and what can be done to prevent it from happening again? 01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:52.000 If you can find any of the writings of Tom Brewer from the 1950s, especially through the 1960s, 01:20:52.000 --> 01:21:07.000 Tom Brewer, okay. Yeah, he showed that a protein deficiency and to some extent other deficiencies, especially sodium, 01:21:07.000 --> 01:21:17.000 he ran about the dangers of salt restriction during pregnancy leading to preeclampsia. 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:33.000 He basically had the cure for it in the 1960s. When he died, his wife, Gail, I think, rewrote some of his material 01:21:33.000 --> 01:21:45.000 and I think got the essential ideas wrong. So don't look for the Tom Brewer diet, but look for the actual writings of Tom Brewer. 01:21:45.000 --> 01:22:04.000 A book that he referred to, written by Shanklin and Hoden, H-O-D-I-N, on maternal and child nutrition, I think was the title, 01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:17.000 emphasized the importance of sodium during pregnancy. But Brewer advocated drinking at least a quart, 01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:24.000 I think maybe two quarts of milk per day during pregnancy was his advice. 01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:37.000 Wow. And he essentially prevented all of the expected cases of preeclampsia. 01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:53.000 And thyroid is another factor. If magnesium drips help, it's because the body is deficient in oxidative metabolism 01:22:53.000 --> 01:23:01.000 as a result of being low in thyroid, and therefore the cells don't retain magnesium. 01:23:01.000 --> 01:23:14.000 An allergist had the interesting experience of giving magnesium intravenously every week to his allergic patients, 01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:26.000 but he found that almost all the magnesium that he put in came right out in their urine a few hours later. 01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:37.000 And if he gave them some thyroid hormone, especially T3, along with the magnesium intravenous dose, 01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:44.000 that the magnesium stayed in their body and didn't show up in the urine. 01:23:44.000 --> 01:23:53.000 And the side effect was that they had their allergies cured and didn't come back for more treatment. 01:23:53.000 --> 01:24:00.000 Wow. Fascinating. So what's with this thyroid? I mean, this seems like it's just everywhere, right? 01:24:00.000 --> 01:24:08.000 Thyroid issues. Do you have any theories on the spiritual or components of what's going on on planet Earth with a thyroid? 01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:12.000 I mean, why so much? Why so much stuff? 01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:24.000 It's the basic process of forming energy using oxygen and making carbon dioxide. 01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:33.000 Carbon dioxide is essential for every organism, bacteria, protozoa, whatever. 01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:42.000 They need carbon dioxide to go through the life processes, cell division and so on. 01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:55.000 And to make carbon dioxide, thyroid hormone is the trigger for making endless amounts of carbon dioxide. 01:24:55.000 --> 01:25:03.000 Carbon dioxide is what stabilizes the electronic balance in cells. 01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:07.000 So it's right at the heart of everything living. 01:25:07.000 --> 01:25:13.000 So that's the idea of not over-breathing and retaining more carbon dioxide, even when exercising, right? 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:16.000 Right. Wow. 01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:21.000 And so do you think then stress of modern day life and over-breathing, mouth-breathing, 01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:29.000 that could be causing dispensing so much carbon dioxide which could be affecting thyroid in our culture? 01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:38.000 And the other way. The bad foods that interfere with thyroid hormone create, 01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:47.000 at the very beginning, they are creating hyperventilations. 01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:56.000 No matter how much you breathe, if your thyroid is underactive, your body is experiencing hyperventilation. 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:59.000 And there's actually, go ahead, sorry. 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:04.000 The harder you breathe, the more carbon dioxide you blow out. 01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:05.000 Right. 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:12.000 And so if you pant intensively, in a minute or so you tend to faint. 01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:23.000 That's because the carbon dioxide level in your brain has thrown the whole electronic system out of balance 01:26:23.000 --> 01:26:26.000 and shut off oxygen use. 01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:30.000 So then, kind of standard American diet with Hennepoof, as I suspect, 01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:34.000 then they cause this hyperventilation as well? 01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:40.000 Yeah, and you can see in the blood, as the CO2 goes down, 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:48.000 the lactic acid and a lot of other things increase in inflammatory. 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.000 As the CO2 goes down. 01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:51.000 Yeah. 01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:56.000 And how do we retain more CO2? Is there any things we can do? 01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:59.000 Sugar and salt. 01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:05.000 Good old sugar. To the rescue, man. Sugar and salt. Good salt, right? 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:11.000 Yeah. And that's because they support the thyroid function. 01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:19.000 And you still like, your favorite is the Morton's pickling and canning salt, pure sodium chloride, right? 01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:23.000 Yeah, so you don't get an excessive iodine. 01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:29.000 You know, I got some the other day, Dr. Beat. I think it was a buck and a quarter for a huge box of this stuff. 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:33.000 I mean, it's like, okay, man. 01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:35.000 Oh, here's a PS on Catherine. 01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:42.000 She said, "Is supplementing, you know, the Eclampsia Lady, Doc, with whole food, vitamin C, okay, Eclampsia?" 01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:44.000 Vitamin C? 01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:46.000 Whole food, vitamin C. Is that okay? 01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:48.000 What does that mean? 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:55.000 She wants to know if taking a whole food, vitamin C supplement is okay. 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:58.000 It depends on what they mean. 01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:00.000 What it is, huh? 01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:15.000 If you leave out pasta and bread and nuts from your diet, the remaining foods all contain ascorbic acid. 01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:30.000 And so the reason a goat, for example, is known to produce three or four thousand milligrams of vitamin C per day, 01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:44.000 and Linus Pauling said, "We have to supplement that much because that's how much the animals produce if they have the system for producing their own vitamin C." 01:28:44.000 --> 01:28:55.000 But I looked at my vitamin C production or emission, analyzing the amount in my urine, 01:28:55.000 --> 01:29:09.000 and I found that taking no supplement at all, just eating regular foods, milk and meat, eggs, vegetables, and so on, 01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:15.000 I was putting out around three thousand milligrams per day, every day in my urine. 01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:17.000 Three thousand, okay. 01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:40.000 So it's that apes, for example, eating lots of vegetables and occasional bugs and slugs and things are getting as much vitamin C as a goat, which can make its own vitamin C. 01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:54.000 So there's no need to supplement if you don't eat the vitamin C-free foods such as grains and nuts and beans. 01:29:54.000 --> 01:29:59.000 Because they'll dispense vitamin C out of the body? They'll get rid of it? 01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:01.000 No, they just don't have any. 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:03.000 They simply don't have any. 01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:04.000 Don't have any. 01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:28.000 But milk, for example, and meat is a major source of vitamin C that the explorers found that they didn't have to take lemons or canned fruit with them when they were spending months in the Arctic. 01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:37.000 If they ate meat, because meat, they proved that meat was a very good source of vitamin C. 01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:49.000 It turns out that all animal tissues contain lots of vitamin C, but they were simply not measuring the right material. 01:30:49.000 --> 01:31:01.000 Vitamin C, the reductant, is not the biologically effective intracellular vitamin C. 01:31:01.000 --> 01:31:20.000 The dehydroascorbate functions as an oxidant, not an antioxidant, in our cells. 01:31:20.000 --> 01:31:24.000 You have to use a different procedure for measuring the oxidant form of vitamin C, which is intracellular. 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:33.000 If you use the wrong technique, you're simply blind to the amount of actual vitamin C effect in our foods. 01:31:33.000 --> 01:31:48.000 All the official agencies are still deliberately staying blind to the amount of vitamin C in their diet. 01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:54.000 All these health food stores selling cod liver oil or fish oil and vitamin C, probably not the best choice. 01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:56.000 We have to know what we're doing here. 01:31:56.000 --> 01:32:00.000 That's why we have guys like you on, gentlemen like you on to help us. 01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:07.000 It's a landmines out there with all the things we've been taught over the years, even in the natural food business. 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:11.000 All the health food stores selling all these things. 01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:16.000 The propaganda is so powerful. 01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:19.000 It's big. 01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:21.000 Here's one, John. He's in Los Angeles. 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:22.000 50-year-old man. 01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:25.000 What can I eat or take to improve my teeth health? 01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:27.000 They're not in good shape. 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:30.000 Well, teeth. 01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:31.000 The teeth? 01:32:31.000 --> 01:32:33.000 Yeah, teeth. 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:38.000 When I was in Mexico City, I went several months. 01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:44.000 I didn't wake up early enough to get to the supermarket to get some good tasting milk. 01:32:44.000 --> 01:32:51.000 I went on a low milk, almost milk-free diet for several months. 01:32:51.000 --> 01:33:01.000 All of my teeth became very sensitive to the cold or any stimulation. 01:33:01.000 --> 01:33:07.000 Then one of them started crumbling. 01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:13.000 Not decay, but just weakness and pieces of it breaking off. 01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:28.000 After I started reading about calcium metabolism, I found a huge Sandbox calcium supplement. 01:33:28.000 --> 01:33:34.000 I took just one or two of those, about a thousand milligrams of calcium each. 01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:42.000 Within hours, the sensitivity of my teeth had gone back to normal. 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:48.000 Just an amazing turning off of the total dental pain. 01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:54.000 That woke me up to the importance of regular calcium. 01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:55.000 Calcium. 01:33:55.000 --> 01:34:00.000 A generous intake of calcium and vitamin D. 01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:04.000 That's why you like milk rather than... 01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:10.000 You did this with just some store-bought calcium that we don't really recommend, that kind of stuff? 01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:11.000 It worked? 01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:12.000 Yeah. 01:34:12.000 --> 01:34:20.000 The milk comes with an adequate amount of magnesium to balance it, some of the other minerals, 01:34:20.000 --> 01:34:28.000 as well as the sugars and fats that help us assimilate the calcium properly. 01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:36.000 So the effect of milk is many times better than a calcium supplement. 01:34:36.000 --> 01:34:46.000 Has there been many cultures in your research, Dr. Peate, that have drunk milk and children and ongoing through adulthood? 01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:49.000 A lot of cultures in the last thousand years or so? 01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:50.000 Lots? 01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:51.000 Oh, yeah. 01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:59.000 For thousands of years throughout Asia, there have been cow-based cultures. 01:34:59.000 --> 01:35:00.000 Wow. 01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:02.000 And they did well on it, obviously. 01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:04.000 They wouldn't keep drinking it, right? 01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:05.000 Yeah. 01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:07.000 It's just so interesting. 01:35:07.000 --> 01:35:12.000 You know, all the so-called natural docs out there, they just think milk is the devil. 01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:13.000 Yeah. 01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:14.000 But it tastes good. 01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.000 I've been drinking it since talking to you. 01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:17.000 I like it. 01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:19.000 I didn't drink milk my whole life. 01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:26.000 But, you know, when we were kids, we drank lots of milk with cereal and sugar, and we did okay, you know. 01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:31.000 Yeah, there has been so much propaganda against milk, too. 01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:32.000 Yeah. 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:36.000 Talking about cholesterol, for example. 01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:37.000 Right. 01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:52.000 And it's a big propaganda industry rather than a science industry throughout the world of nutrition. 01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:54.000 Sure, sure. 01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:59.000 Well, Dr. Peate, what are you going to do today? 01:35:59.000 --> 01:36:00.000 Anything fun? 01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:01.000 You'll probably always have fun, right? 01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:03.000 What are you doing? 01:36:03.000 --> 01:36:09.000 Oh, right now I'm reading about immunology. 01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:14.000 I'm going to do a newsletter related to the immune system. 01:36:14.000 --> 01:36:25.000 The propagandists are still working to deny the basic nature of our immune system. 01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:26.000 Oh, that would be fun. 01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:28.000 And that will come out in a month or two? 01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:29.000 A few weeks. 01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:30.000 A few weeks. 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:33.000 And so if you'd like to get this, I'm looking forward to it. 01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:42.000 It's just RayPeat's newsletter at gmail.com, and you can sign up and he'll take care of it for you. 01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:45.000 Well, thanks so much for coming on the show. 01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:47.000 I really, really appreciate it. 01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:50.000 You're just a wonderful guy, and thank you. 01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:51.000 Just thanks a lot. 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:52.000 Okay, thank you. 01:36:52.000 --> 01:36:53.000 You take care of yourself, okay?
