So we're going to touch 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:11.280 on that today because it blew my hair back. So I'm so excited, Dr. Peat, to have you on. Thank 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.840 you for coming back on the show. Okay, very good. Thank you. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:23.680 So yeah, I've got quite a few listener questions as well. And I've got my own questions today based 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.640 on the newsletter and just some things going on. So I'm excited to get 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.920 started. As you guys know, I've been banned from YouTube. So 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.920 this is only available on audio. So be sure to share this with 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.300 someone you know, that's going to benefit from it. They're not 0:01:37.300 --> 0:01:39.280 going to find it on YouTube right now. They're only going to 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:43.160 find it on podcast players. So be sure to share and if you guys 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.480 have more questions for Dr. Peat, 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.240 I can't post like I was on YouTube and ask for questions. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:50.900 So if you hear this podcast 0:01:50.900 --> 0:01:52.920 and your question wasn't answered, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.840 just email me at getfitwithjodell at gmail.com 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.300 and I'll be sure to get it in the queue 0:01:57.300 --> 0:01:59.120 for the next podcast. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.680 So let's start right off because Dr. Peat, 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.840 your newsletter was, like I said, one of my favorites. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:12.480 I lost my mom to cancer at 17. And what I do today is because of what I didn't understand 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:18.720 about her health and how to help her because I was so young. And she did all the mainstream 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:26.000 cancer killing therapies. And after watching her go through chemo, surgery, radiation, more chemo, then 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:31.560 finally out of desperation, alternative treatments out of Mexico that didn't work when her, because 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:38.000 her body was too wrecked from the cancer killing therapies, I'm convinced that it was the therapies 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:49.940 that killed her, not the cancer. And so when I read your latest newsletter, the carcinogen metabolism, it was just phenomenal. 0:02:49.940 --> 0:02:52.940 One thing that you said in the newsletter really jumped out at me. 0:02:52.940 --> 0:02:59.780 There are many substances that can inhibit the inflammatory degenerative processes acting 0:02:59.780 --> 0:03:01.620 at multiple levels. 0:03:01.620 --> 0:03:06.080 These substances tend to be synergistic so that a great number of 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.620 substances can be safely used at the same time. This kind of supportive therapy has 0:03:11.620 --> 0:03:18.620 nothing in common with the ruling paradigm of cancer treatment. It is reinforcing the 0:03:18.620 --> 0:03:26.440 organism's state of health rather than attacking the disease of cancer. That's what I want to help people do, 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.400 is reinforce their state of health 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.940 rather than attacking the disease of cancer. 0:03:30.940 --> 0:03:33.360 That's what I want people listening to this today 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:38.120 to take home is that there's a lot of therapies out there 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.620 that are traditional mainstream, 0:03:39.620 --> 0:03:42.400 but there's also a lot of adjunct therapies 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:47.280 that are synergistic and at least could support our organism and our 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:52.480 host immune system while they're undergoing these treatments. It's not to say that people can't 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:58.960 undergo radiation and chemo and things like that, but I think I agreed with you that they're 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:06.080 attacking the disease of cancer rather than reinforcing the organism's state of health, which should be what's most 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:11.920 important. So I just really like this. Yeah, go ahead. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:29.120 Their basic mistake, mainstream medicine now for about 100 years has been committed to the idea that cancer, a mutation, is something alien to 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.280 the human being. 0:04:31.280 --> 0:04:40.840 But the mutations are the attempt to survive and remain part of the human organism. 0:04:40.840 --> 0:04:50.380 They are our cells that are struggling and if you focus on killing these cells 0:04:50.380 --> 0:05:00.220 that are already very weak and damaged you forget that what kills them kills or 0:05:00.220 --> 0:05:08.560 injures the rest of the human cells. They are so similar, it's kind of like 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:17.000 trying to, it's more possible to kill an invasive fungus, but still things that 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:25.000 kill fungus or amoebas for example, are always harmful to the human host. 0:05:28.820 --> 0:05:32.860 If you look at the very few people 0:05:32.860 --> 0:05:37.100 who have studied untreated cancer patients, 0:05:37.100 --> 0:05:40.420 starting as far as I know in the 1950s 0:05:40.420 --> 0:05:47.560 with the University of California Professor Hardin Jones. He looked at people who, for some reason, 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:52.080 refused treatment after being diagnosed. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:57.080 And these people almost always lived longer 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.900 than the thoroughly treated people, 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.360 the people who respected treatment. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:07.260 And since those aren't taken into account, 0:06:08.140 --> 0:06:12.500 everyone who is diagnosed with cancer 0:06:12.500 --> 0:06:15.680 essentially gets the killing treatment. 0:06:17.280 --> 0:06:20.640 And if you really did a control, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:34.000 you would compare the absence of treatment to a particular treatment, but I've read through many volumes of the Cancer Research Journal, 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:45.600 and invariably they fail to take into account the possibility that the treatment ever kills anyone. 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:57.440 If hundreds and hundreds of articles absolutely insist that everyone who dies, dies from cancer, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:06.000 they don't even consider the possibility that the treatment increase the death. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.520 Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, like you mentioned, it's about reinforcing health. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.740 How can you reinforce the state of health in the organism if you're attacking 0:07:15.740 --> 0:07:19.400 both the good and the bad cells with some therapy? 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:20.440 It just doesn't make sense. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:25.120 There's a big debate out there about taking supplements when undergoing cancer 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:31.760 treatment. But my job as a nutritionist to support is to support that host immune system and reinforce 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:37.520 the state of health. And so there's this debate that you can't take antioxidants during a radiation 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:44.720 therapy or during a chemo treatment. And I can see both sides. I can see how, yeah, the supplement, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.480 And I can see both sides. I can see how, yeah, the supplement, 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.160 depending on which one it is, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:51.000 could interfere with the oxidant support of the cell 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.840 or the antioxidant capability 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.240 that you're trying to kill off 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.080 with the radiation or whatever. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.040 But at the same time, what about all the good? 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.600 Like you've got this one little area that's cancerous, 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.200 but you've got the 90% of you that's really good. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:04.640 Shouldn't we support that? 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.880 And shouldn't we come at it from a standpoint 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.760 of helping rather than harming? 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.920 Yeah, and the treatment industry has covered up the fact 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.220 that there is no such thing as a local, 0:08:22.220 --> 0:08:24.560 a purely local cancer treatment. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:29.560 For example, the focusing radiation beam, 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:35.600 they say if we aim it at the cancer, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.440 the rest of your body isn't affected. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.340 But experiments show that, for example, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:50.600 they noticed that exposing mice to x-rays caused them to 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:56.760 go into heat, preparing to mate. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:02.160 The explanation was that they had excited their pituitary. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:07.040 So someone did the proper control and irradiated their feet 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.080 and found that that caused them to go into heat. 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:17.200 And the same with any very serious damage 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.120 to any part of the body. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:24.120 It spreads signals of the damage to all parts of the body. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:36.080 So that in Seattle there was this idea of pregnant women who had a full set of dental x-rays even though 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:42.600 they shielded their abdomen, their babies were born underweight and 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:48.760 showing that the stress damage signals affected every part of the 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:56.640 body just from supposedly exposing the head and jaw to x-rays. 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:02.520 Yeah, no, that makes, that's, you know, you don't hear about this stuff. All you hear 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.760 about is like the different doctors saying, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.680 no, you can't, this is the only path. 0:10:07.680 --> 0:10:08.680 We only have this. 0:10:08.680 --> 0:10:11.160 This is our approach is like kill, kill, kill. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.760 And there's so many other avenues. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.200 Like I loved in your newsletter 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.880 where you were mentioning things like mTOR 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.760 and things that could inhibit mTOR include caffeine 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.040 and aspirin and lidocaine and vitamin D and flavonoids. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.200 Like, can you briefly like fill us in layman's terms, 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.460 like how does mTOR work within some sort of like 0:10:34.460 --> 0:10:36.560 inhibitory action with cancer 0:10:36.560 --> 0:10:38.540 and why these things are important? 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:48.640 Yeah, mTOR is a phosphorylating, activating enzyme. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:55.000 And this particular enzyme activates all of the growth processes. 0:10:55.000 --> 0:11:05.000 So for normal growth, it's, all of the growth promoting factors 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.900 have to know when to stop. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.000 And if you have stress going on, 0:11:15.940 --> 0:11:18.280 circulating lactic acid, for example, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.680 for any kind of systemic stress, 0:11:22.680 --> 0:11:26.960 lactic acid is enough to keep the mTOR 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.720 activating growth processes 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.020 without the appropriate need for it. 0:11:33.020 --> 0:11:37.680 And so lactic acid is carcinogenic 0:11:37.680 --> 0:11:42.680 by not allowing the body to turn off growth when it should. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:48.840 And it turns out that stressed tissues produce lactic acid. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.180 So you get a vicious circle. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:53.040 Yeah. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.640 And there are like you, 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.440 I appreciated that in your newsletter, you did mention, 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.120 I mean, there are some of the flavonoids 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.560 known as antioxidants, like absorbic acid 0:12:01.560 --> 0:12:05.920 and things like that, that they can become an issue, 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.780 like reducing agents for stuff like radiation 0:12:08.780 --> 0:12:09.940 and stuff like that. 0:12:09.940 --> 0:12:14.400 So are there certain supplements that people can do 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:15.620 if they've been diagnosed 0:12:15.620 --> 0:12:17.220 and they're undergoing these treatments, 0:12:17.220 --> 0:12:18.460 they choose to go that route? 0:12:18.460 --> 0:12:20.860 And are there different ones they shouldn't do? 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:52.800 shouldn't do? Yeah, in the right amount the antioxidants will actually be beneficial but when they get inside the cell a typical antioxidant like ascorbic acid or some of the flavonoids like fisetin are no longer reducing agents, they no longer 0:12:52.800 --> 0:13:00.280 are known by donating electrons, but they become oxidizing agents and keep the cell 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:09.360 from having an excess of electrons. And one of the most basic features of cancer is 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:32.000 that they have an excess of electrons. If you simply shut off the oxygen supply, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:45.000 you'll shift over to lactic acid production because electrons become excessive and will turn pyruvic acid into lactic acid, 0:13:47.140 --> 0:13:51.240 with all of the cell activating effects. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.780 Some very, very well-informed, 0:14:00.220 --> 0:14:05.000 leading biological thinkers are still confused on the issue. 0:14:06.580 --> 0:14:11.380 They still think that more electrons 0:14:11.380 --> 0:14:13.660 will be good for cancer patients, 0:14:13.660 --> 0:14:17.040 but in fact, the failure to oxidize, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.140 meaning that your cells have too many electrons, 0:14:21.140 --> 0:14:23.460 that's the essence of cancer, 0:14:23.460 --> 0:14:31.680 and why the increase of lactic acid is a universal feature of cancer. 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:40.160 Okay, yeah, and so are there, so it's best to get flavonoids from food. I love that you said that in 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:46.080 your newsletter. Are there certain ones, let's say someone listening to this has been 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:52.960 diagnosed with cancer and they're undergoing, maybe they've chosen to go these therapies such 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:59.120 as radiation or chemo, where would you steer them? What protocol or suggestions would you give them 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.520 to help them reinforce their state of health rather than just do the attack? 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.200 reinforce their state of health rather than just do the attack? 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:22.880 The reason doctors advise against using some supplements like vitamin E is that they are wanting to create free radical oxidation, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:30.000 which always results from an excess of electrons, activating catalytic 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:35.000 iron, for example, to create free radicals. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:51.080 I knew someone who was taking protective substances, and the doctor prescribed the standard course of chemotherapy and said 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:59.440 it would be no more than, I think it was three doses of it, absolutely three doses was all 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.600 that would be needed. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:11.080 But after three doses, he said, well, we need another three doses. And after that three doses, he said, well, you need 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:27.500 another three doses. And she said, I finally got him to admit that he had previously said only three would be needed. And he explained that your hair hasn't fallen out 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.040 and you're not anemic. 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.800 And those were the judge, the basis for judging. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.800 You have to radically harm the whole organism 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.780 before you're satisfied that the chemotherapy is working. 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.960 She ended up looking for thermal therapy, 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.240 hyperthermia to treat the cancer, 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.320 which there's a lot of research 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.160 showing that getting the body temperature 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:04.160 up to just a little above 41 degrees Celsius 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:09.280 will kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.500 If you keep feeding the person 0:17:12.500 --> 0:17:15.860 so they don't get hypoglycemia damage. 0:17:16.940 --> 0:17:21.780 But she went to a place that advertised hyperthermia, 0:17:22.780 --> 0:17:28.960 but the government required that they give a minimal dose, they said, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.240 of x-rays along with the hyperthermia. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:37.220 And after a couple of doses of the treatment, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.000 I got her to inquire how they were judging 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:47.080 that she had reached a hyperthermic state and they 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:53.440 told her, oh the computer does that. No thermometers involved, just absolute 0:17:53.440 --> 0:18:02.400 mystical computer knowledge. And then she asked how many rads was she getting and 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:07.920 I think it was 800 rads to her whole pelvis which included 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:13.820 the intestine and she was getting classical radiation sickness which sets 0:18:13.820 --> 0:18:30.000 in around a whole body dose of about 400 or 500 rads so she had had about three times the dose that causes radiation sickness. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:46.080 And very quickly after that died from radiation sickness, not from cancer. Yeah, it's like logic has gone by the wayside when it comes to our medical system. It's just like 0:18:47.120 --> 0:18:53.440 it's a sad approach because there I think there are protocols and suggestions that people can do 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:59.200 to reinforce. So like in your newsletter progesterone and you mentioned vitamin D, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:10.440 can you talk about that? Yeah, both of those systemically lower inflammation. So they're just as 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:32.400 good for treating COVID as for cancer or psychiatric diseases or a cold because what they do is turn the body towards healthy energy production through oxygen 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:42.240 and by reducing the inflammation they are letting the body restore itself. 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:44.420 Wonderful. 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.020 restore itself. 0:19:44.860 --> 0:19:46.780 Wonderful. Now, go ahead. 0:19:46.780 --> 0:19:51.780 Antihistamines are another pretty safe way to do that. 0:19:52.940 --> 0:19:57.160 And in a previous newsletter, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.500 I reviewed some of the articles 0:20:00.580 --> 0:20:03.300 showing the benefits of exercise. 0:20:03.300 --> 0:20:04.140 Yeah. 0:20:04.140 --> 0:20:07.920 And they found that the good things about 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:15.160 exercise that help you maintain good muscles, good hormone balance, all kinds 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:23.200 of good health points. They found that only when the exercise was sufficient to 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:27.040 raise your body temperature did it produce that 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:31.620 anti-inflammatory restorative effect. 0:20:31.620 --> 0:20:41.060 And if they raised the body temperature to that point, the same temperature that adequate 0:20:41.060 --> 0:20:46.900 exercise produces, they got just as much anti-inflammatory effect. 0:20:47.740 --> 0:20:51.900 So it's the body temperature falling below normal 0:20:51.900 --> 0:20:56.900 that is a basic activator of inflammation. 0:20:57.260 --> 0:21:01.460 And all of the major carcinogens, 0:21:01.460 --> 0:21:05.000 by reducing oxygen metabolism, 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.580 lower the body temperature. 0:21:07.580 --> 0:21:12.580 And so necessarily result in systemic inflammation. 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.280 So important to keep that thyroid working 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.080 and keep that body temperature where it should be 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.680 in cancer prevention then that sounds like. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:24.640 So going back to the vitamin D, 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.440 I kind of had something I wanted to really bring up 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.000 because there's controversy out there. 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.640 A lot of people are not on the bandwagon 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:34.360 of vitamin D supplementation. 0:21:34.360 --> 0:21:37.720 They feel like you should just get it from the sun. 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:39.880 But what about these, as a nutritionist, 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.240 I'm seeing people that as much as I would love them 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.480 to go outside, they're going out covered up, they're wearing sunscreen, or 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.520 maybe they're only going out long enough to walk around the 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:54.080 block. So there's not to mention the fact that there's published 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.560 data that now there's nanoparticles being sprayed in 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.520 our atmosphere, they're blocking the sun's rays. So that leads me 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.920 to believe that we do need some form of vitamin D supplementation 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.460 in certain people that just will not go outside. 0:22:06.460 --> 0:22:08.400 What are your thoughts on that? 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:12.600 I mean, are you for vitamin D with K2 supplementation 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.780 or do you feel like it should just be from the sun? 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:21.200 Ideally, it would be from the sun, 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.880 but I've talked to people in Saudi Arabia 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.400 and Latin America. There's a 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:38.600 tremendous like an epidemic or worse of vitamin D deficiency in the 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:47.580 traditionally Muslim and Catholic countries. Women in particular. Well, the Saudi Arabians, even 0:22:47.580 --> 0:23:00.560 the men, were pretty much total body covers, but the women don't let any skin 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:07.260 be exposed to the sunlight, and so they have a terrible vitamin D deficiency. 0:23:08.100 --> 0:23:10.640 The same in Mexico, people are, 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:15.560 even the new generations that aren't following 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:20.160 the prudish old coverup practices, 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:29.280 they have dark skin and don't want to get a darker skin and so they 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:50.800 just for cosmetic purposes like to be protected from the sun. I used to sunburn terribly from, I guess, my 20s through my 60s. 0:23:50.800 --> 0:24:13.200 At 7,000 feet altitude, 0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:16.520 I found that I didn't sunburn at all. 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:27.400 I could work outside for hours without turning bright red. And I've heard other people say that 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:29.000 when they take vitamin D, 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:33.280 they can then expose themselves to the sun 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:38.280 without burning or even just a moderate degree of tanning. 0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:49.480 So if you are avoiding the sunlight for some reason, then you absolutely need to supplement 0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:58.800 vitamin D. It turns on all of the protective anti-inflammatory processes. 0:24:58.800 --> 0:24:59.800 I agree. 0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:03.920 I mean, I would love, like you said, ideally, I would love all of my clients to spend as 0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:09.040 much time outside that they can, but it's just, it seems like I can't get people to do that. 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:13.520 So the next best thing is like, I find a good quality vitamin D to get them on. 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:17.440 And yeah, like you said, myself included, I don't burn. 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.400 Also, I think that's due to low PUFAs. 0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:25.400 I have found that eliminating PUFAs a long time ago, I don't burn. 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.840 And I think that has a lot to do with the body's 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.120 inflammatory response with the sun too. 0:25:31.120 --> 0:25:31.960 Would you say? 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:37.760 Yeah, polyunsaturated fatty acids act as an antenna, 0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:42.920 ultraviolet light excites those molecules, 0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:52.920 causes them to have excited electrons that then spread inflammation 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:57.040 to other less sensitive substances. 0:25:57.040 --> 0:26:08.100 So they're like the antenna to spread ultraviolet damage if you have. A rabbit experiment years ago, they shaved rabbits 0:26:08.100 --> 0:26:13.100 and exposed them to ultraviolet similar to sunlight. 0:26:14.460 --> 0:26:19.460 And the ones, the rabbits that had a PUFA-free diet 0:26:20.540 --> 0:26:22.660 didn't get wrinkly skin. 0:26:22.660 --> 0:26:26.680 The ones on a high polyunsaturated fatty acid diet 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:35.600 got very wrinkled after exposing their skin to sun to radiation, ultraviolet. 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:41.000 Nice. Yeah, I know that. Go ahead, what were you going to say? 0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:45.360 Just that there are several things that will 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:51.760 will sensitize you with a bad diet high in PUFA is one of the 0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.160 most age promoting factors. 0:26:55.560 --> 0:27:00.080 Absolutely. Yeah. So I wanted to ask one more thing before we 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.280 jump into questions, because in your newsletter, there was 0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:06.700 something that stuck out to me that I kind of just briefly 0:27:06.820 --> 0:27:10.320 touched on, but I wanted to get your thoughts on it. So you had 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:15.360 mentioned that, although the great majority of cancers have 0:27:15.380 --> 0:27:21.220 clear environmental causes, the carcinogenic pollution caused by 0:27:21.220 --> 0:27:24.980 governments and large corporations is ignored. And so 0:27:24.980 --> 0:27:27.600 it's like putting the blame on the defective genes of the victim. 0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:31.360 So I wanted to talk about the pollution caused by governments. 0:27:31.360 --> 0:27:40.320 Now, I had mentioned that I am seeing data on the fact that there is grid patterns in our sky. 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.160 There's these clouds that make an X. 0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.300 There's lines in the sky that they're clearly spraying something into our atmosphere, 0:27:46.300 --> 0:27:47.920 there's published data on it. 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:49.740 Do you think that this is 0:27:49.740 --> 0:27:51.280 something we need to be concerned about, 0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.040 that whatever the nanoparticles that they're 0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:55.880 spraying are dimming our sun's rays? 0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.800 Is this part of that heavy metal pollution 0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:02.040 we're exposed to depending on what they're spraying? 0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:10.960 That has been planned research for a long time. Bill 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:15.960 Gates was one of the promoters of it and when the public heard about it they 0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:28.800 said oh it's just research we don't really plan to go ahead with that, but I don't believe them. I'm sure they're continually working on it. 0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:36.080 Yeah, I want people to be aware. I want you guys to start looking up and just doing your own 0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:41.360 research because I think they've got us programmed to look down at our phones so we don't see what's 0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:45.200 going on in our skies, but I highly recommend checking out 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:50.800 geoengineeringwatch.org because there's a lot of published data there and it's not conspiracy 0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:57.200 because there's there's research on it. So just be aware there there's changes in our sky that 0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:02.800 are affecting our health too and I believe some of that heavy metal nanoparticles could be part of 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:06.760 that carcinogenic pollution that you're talking about too. 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:12.680 And one source of pollution that is often forgotten 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:16.920 or covered up is that the Pentagon is the world's 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:20.020 biggest single source of pollution. 0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.080 They can dump anything they want to, 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:25.300 anywhere they want to. 0:29:25.300 --> 0:29:32.800 And they've killed and injured many military people. 0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:36.300 The Gulf War syndrome was just part of it. 0:29:36.300 --> 0:29:50.720 But burning toxic agents in open dumps in when a war is going on. The soldiers are being horribly exposed 0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:57.600 to these toxins. Wow, yeah, something that's, I'm glad you brought that up. I'm going to look 0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:04.160 into that too because I wasn't even aware of that. So, well, I think we will jump into questions here 0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:06.480 because I could talk to you about this 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.760 stuff all day, but I know everybody wants me to get to their questions. 0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:13.600 So Kylie is our first one on the list today. 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:21.000 She asks, or she's kind of explaining that she has low TSH, free T3 is low, free T4 is 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:22.000 low. 0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:26.960 She's tried Cytomel and NDT, but immediately she lost her period. It took her five 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:34.000 months to get her period back while on Cytomel, but she was still hyper symptomatic, so she stopped 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:39.520 it. She's had thyroid issues her whole life, so she's wondering if it was her nervous system that 0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:45.520 needed to adjust. Should she have stayed on it, or is there something else she should do, Dr. Peat? 0:30:46.960 --> 0:31:05.000 It's important to know that the activation of the thyroid 0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:12.440 and to make your liver able to detoxify hormones 0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.640 that are in excess. 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:19.760 And so you can, if you have heavy menstruation 0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:24.760 or continuous hemorrhaging, you can turn it off quickly 0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:25.140 by increasing your T3 intake. continuous hemorrhaging, you can turn it off quickly 0:31:29.300 --> 0:31:34.300 by increasing your T3 intake. But normally, the body produces only probably a maximum 0:31:35.820 --> 0:31:40.820 of two or three micrograms per hour of T3 0:31:41.700 --> 0:31:44.560 by its own conversion from thyroxine. 0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:45.320 of T3 by its own conversion from thyroxine. 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:54.840 And people often, the worst thing is to start out taking maybe your whole day's dose all at once 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:58.440 on an empty stomach before breakfast. 0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:01.000 And that for sure will give you, 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.960 the message goes to your liver 0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:09.120 that you have a gigantic excess of thyroid. 0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:17.280 And so you activate the liver to get rid of the excess thyroid. And that means that after 0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:29.080 doing that for a while, just a couple of weeks, there's enough to see it happening. Your liver, in just 12 hours after you've taken 0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:34.960 that one morning dose, your liver will create 0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:40.120 extreme hypothyroidism because it has learned 0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:48.960 to get rid of the excess, but then when you don't keep adding it, your liver pushes you 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:58.480 to a very low level. That's one of the reasons a mixed product like natural desiccated thyroid, 0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:06.000 a product like Armour thyroid USP, for example, has a reasonable balance, 0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.840 the same balance that you would normally produce 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:11.100 with your own thyroid. 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:16.400 Or a synthetic such as Cynoplus or 0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:19.520 Obotrol 0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:25.000 about four or five parts of thyroxine 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:27.680 to each part of T3. 0:33:27.680 --> 0:33:32.040 So the T3 can activate your processes 0:33:32.980 --> 0:33:37.060 and the T4 is available to continue 0:33:37.060 --> 0:33:39.000 to keep up your T3 level 0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:44.120 without at any time forcing you 0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:47.680 into the hyperthyroid state that you get when you take 0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:58.080 even 10 micrograms of Cytomel at once will give you the signal of excess that will 0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:07.440 lead to reduced thyroid function. Yeah, and she didn't specify how much she was taking. 0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:08.480 So that's another thing. 0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.960 Maybe if she started with too high of a dose and then also 0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:15.720 like since the NDT is going to have some T3 in there along 0:34:15.720 --> 0:34:18.400 with the cytomel, maybe it was just too much for her and she 0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:21.760 should just look at starting with like a really low five 0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:23.960 micrograms of the cytomel or something. 0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.320 What do you think about that? 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:30.660 Yeah, five micrograms with a meal is okay. 0:34:30.660 --> 0:34:34.160 It's more than you would want on an empty stomach, 0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:37.400 but the meal slows its absorption 0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:40.240 over a period of about two or three hours. 0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:50.480 And it's very important to check things like your temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, 0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:59.880 and so on, and to not expect things to be normal immediately. 0:34:59.880 --> 0:35:07.760 Watch for changes to gradually increase over a period of two weeks or more. 0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:17.960 And many people want to see quick results, and that leads up to getting very disturbed 0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:21.280 ups and downs of the metabolic rate. 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:25.000 It makes it very hard to find the right level. 0:35:25.660 --> 0:35:30.660 So traditionally, people who have really studied 0:35:32.300 --> 0:35:34.340 thyroid function like Broda Barnes 0:35:35.180 --> 0:35:40.100 would take several months usually to determine 0:35:41.140 --> 0:35:43.700 what their correct dose was. 0:35:43.700 --> 0:35:48.680 And the correct dose varies typically fourfold 0:35:50.900 --> 0:35:55.240 just by seasonal changes in day length. 0:35:57.100 --> 0:36:00.640 I found that in the winter, 0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.560 I needed two grains of armor thyroid 0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:07.080 to maintain my temperature and heart rate. 0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:10.920 And that gradually, starting in the spring, 0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:15.940 decreased to half a grain per day 0:36:15.940 --> 0:36:19.900 to maintain the same level of function and metabolic rate. 0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:22.680 Nice, yeah, that's it. 0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:24.160 I like that you mentioned the part 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:25.880 about her taking it with a meal because 0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:30.520 I think there is a misconception out there. Most thyroid medications are told to take 0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:35.600 you know on an empty stomach right when you wake up 20 to 30 minutes before eating. And 0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:40.360 I like that what you're saying is they really need to take it with food. I've always thought 0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:45.520 that that would be more efficient slowing down how quickly it's absorbed. 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.320 And so that makes a lot more sense than on an empty stomach. 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:59.040 I've heard practically all pharmacists and doctors give that, take it on an empty stomach in the 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:05.000 morning recommendation. But I tried to find out what their reasoning was. 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:08.120 There is no reasoning. 0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:15.720 They based their thought on how do you get efficient absorption. 0:37:15.720 --> 0:37:31.520 They went to think about not wasting any of the thyroid. So you do get the full amount that you consumed if your stomach is empty. 0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:39.840 It shows up in your bloodstream right away. But the thyroid never works that way naturally. It 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:44.260 it seeps out as you need it. 0:37:49.260 --> 0:37:50.240 So if you have enough food to keep your blood sugar up 0:37:53.100 --> 0:37:54.060 and your stress hormones low, 0:37:59.060 --> 0:38:00.160 your body will continue to convert thyroxine to T3 0:38:02.020 --> 0:38:06.880 exactly the right amount, but it is a continuous moment by moment process. 0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:17.520 Absolutely without any biological sense to recommend taking your day's dose on an empty stomach. 0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:30.400 Okay, so next question Zed asked, okay this is kind of a long question here. So Dr. Peat was asked in the past if he believes one can regrow hair back to their juvenile 0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:31.560 hairline. 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:33.720 He replied that it may not be possible. 0:38:33.720 --> 0:38:39.080 I would love to know if someone was willing to dedicate all of their time to this, this 0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:47.440 is a cool guy, what further steps could be taken after addressing TSH, temperature, vitamin D, and calcium? For 0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:54.640 example, microneedling, scalp massage, or even, you know, hanging upside down, maybe a high dose 0:38:54.640 --> 0:39:00.240 of vitamin K to decalcify the scalp, anything that he thinks could help. Thank you so much. 0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:10.260 Scalp massage definitely helps hair loss from a variety of causes. 0:39:10.260 --> 0:39:16.820 Even alopecia areata can be helped by massage. 0:39:16.820 --> 0:39:25.000 Even though that's an autoimmune spotting loss of hair, the massage helps to normalize 0:39:26.220 --> 0:39:29.900 getting the cell energy back up. 0:39:29.900 --> 0:39:34.020 But I've never known any single individual 0:39:34.020 --> 0:39:38.500 who wanted to put in the necessary time. 0:39:40.380 --> 0:39:45.000 Really could involve basically everything you do, 0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:51.280 but it isn't benefiting only your scalp 0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:56.280 because people, you've probably heard of the earlobe crease. 0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:03.680 People who are bald have a very high incidence 0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:08.280 of a crease across their earlobe. 0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:16.840 And that crease happens to be an indicator of susceptibility to heart disease. 0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:27.280 And so there's a known association between circulatory system health and good hair growth. So the things that 0:40:28.720 --> 0:40:37.200 help to restore the health of your follicles are also helping every other part of your body. 0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:44.960 I love that. I think it goes back to like grandma's logic of like brush your hair a hundred 0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:46.320 times because people I think they're afraid when you're's logic of like brush your hair a hundred times because people 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:49.920 I think they're afraid when you're losing your hair, you're kind of afraid to brush your hair 0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:54.080 because you think it's going to, you're just going to brush it and pull it out. But we just brushing 0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:58.480 your hair, like a scalp massage, or, you know, there's a company that makes a Derma tool for 0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:02.960 your head where you just kind of like stimulate the scalp. I think those are going to be more 0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:05.600 beneficial because what you're doing is you're drawing blood to 0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:08.080 that area increasing circulation. So you know, like 0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:10.960 brushing your hair, you might, yeah, you might lose some hairs 0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:13.160 the first few times you do it, but then you're going to start 0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:17.120 stimulating that blood flow and hopefully improving the hairline 0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:17.880 as well. Yeah. 0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:27.480 Yeah, and putting your fingers on your scalp without moving them against the skin, 0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:30.200 but wiggling your fingers 0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:32.400 so that you're moving the skin around. 0:41:33.520 --> 0:41:36.680 That kind of 15 minutes per day, 0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:39.400 and that amount of massage 0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:45.000 very significantly improve hair growth. 0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:51.720 Getting your temperature up to normal, 0:41:51.720 --> 0:41:53.960 I think is a big part of it. 0:41:55.480 --> 0:42:00.480 I looked at the normal range of temperatures in the brain, 0:42:03.460 --> 0:42:07.620 and it happens that the highest temperatures 0:42:07.620 --> 0:42:12.260 are towards the middle and rear of the brain. 0:42:12.260 --> 0:42:15.180 And that for best functioning, 0:42:15.180 --> 0:42:18.460 the highest part of the brain, 0:42:18.460 --> 0:42:23.460 the frontal lobes of the cortex 0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:30.680 have to be slightly cooler than the central part of the brain. 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:45.000 They have to be able to be quiet rather than overactive. hair cover on the top and back of your head 0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:51.040 is helping to insulate your head 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:55.480 so that you don't lose temperature so easily 0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:57.880 where you have heavy hair growth. 0:42:57.880 --> 0:43:02.280 But the fact that hair doesn't grow on the forehead 0:43:03.240 --> 0:43:05.000 is probably associated 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:08.700 with the fact that your frontal lobes should be cooler. 0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:12.920 And so your forehead is like a radiator 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:17.800 that helps to maintain that gradient of temperature 0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:19.400 inside your brain, 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:24.040 optimizing your prefrontal cortex functions. 0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:29.120 I really love that my brain is really warm right now 0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:32.080 because you make me think so much. 0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:35.400 So like just listening to you share that your knowledge 0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:37.800 like makes my brain like feel warmer. 0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:38.960 So that's cool. 0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:42.680 Okay, so Zed had one more question in his email. 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:45.300 He said, when my heart rate increases 0:43:45.300 --> 0:43:48.100 after exercise gets a little strenuous, 0:43:48.100 --> 0:43:52.080 the inside of my nose becomes very cold 0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:55.540 and painful to breathe through and almost closes up. 0:43:55.540 --> 0:43:57.660 Does Dr. Peat know what could cause this 0:43:57.660 --> 0:43:59.000 and how to avoid it? 0:44:00.780 --> 0:44:02.780 Yeah, that's too much adrenaline. 0:44:04.860 --> 0:44:07.720 I used to notice that if I was 0:44:08.720 --> 0:44:11.680 in a study project, for example, 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:14.840 and went too long drinking coffee, 0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:19.680 I would get that sensation that my nose membranes 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:24.360 dried out and cooled, and my sinuses 0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:33.600 extended that feeling of too much air in contact with them. 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:49.000 I think it's that the high adrenaline simply reduces circulation to your nose and sinus membranes. Sounds like maybe his exercise, maybe not as strenuous, 0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:54.000 maybe just moving your body without getting too much adrenaline going, yeah? 0:44:54.000 --> 0:45:05.000 Yeah. Not doing things that tend to raise your heart rate too much, 0:45:06.580 --> 0:45:11.580 but the kind of muscle exercise that heats up your muscles 0:45:12.540 --> 0:45:14.940 and then they heat your whole body 0:45:14.940 --> 0:45:16.920 and increase the temperature. 0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:21.620 So lifting weights or using dumbbells 0:45:22.740 --> 0:45:26.560 enough to warm up your muscles, raise your body temperature, 0:45:28.240 --> 0:45:35.840 won't necessarily make you breathe any harder. Yeah, excellent. I love that. Okay, so I can't 0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:49.120 pronounce this name, but this it starts with a K, and it says, what are Dr. Peat's thoughts on high dose vitamin E? Is it safe to take up to 3,000 IUs per day? 0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:49.960 Thank you. 0:45:52.180 --> 0:45:53.800 There have been tests, 0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:58.800 and it was right around 3,000 or 4,000 units a day 0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:04.140 that would cause the vitamin E to produce diarrhea. 0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:08.280 It was simply a physical overload 0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:11.760 that probably irritated the intestine. 0:46:11.760 --> 0:46:15.840 And they found that you couldn't absorb 0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:19.520 above a certain limit. 0:46:20.680 --> 0:46:24.120 Produced diarrhea and was useless. 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:29.120 But they didn't see any damage from doses up to that point. 0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:34.440 But you have to remember that the products 0:46:34.440 --> 0:46:39.440 they call vitamin E has changed pretty continuously 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:44.320 through technology, the 20s and 30s, 0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:49.920 when it was known as a fertility vitamin. That's where the 0:46:49.920 --> 0:47:01.040 name came from, tocopherol, offspring bearing. And so a deficiency was defined as the sterility 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:08.000 sterility level. And that worked because vitamin E protects against estrogen. 0:47:10.180 --> 0:47:12.680 Estrogen is the anti-progesterone, 0:47:15.600 --> 0:47:19.320 anti-fertility agent. 0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:23.960 And so progesterone and vitamin E were found 0:47:25.000 --> 0:47:27.380 in the late 1930s 0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:36.360 to be working together to protect against estrogen and so to improve fertility 0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:40.740 and as a side effect of many other changes. 0:47:40.740 --> 0:47:44.400 But at that point, for various reasons, 0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:48.800 the estrogen industry didn't want vitamin E to 0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:55.120 be known as a pro-fertility, anti-estrogen chemical. 0:47:55.120 --> 0:48:13.440 So they promoted the idea that it was defined as its antioxidant potency, which corresponded 0:48:13.440 --> 0:48:30.500 to the D-alpha-tocopherol concentration. And the total vitamin E effect was considered only the antioxidant potency. 0:48:30.500 --> 0:48:51.840 And for a time, the vitamin E value was defined as the D-alpha-tocopherol content. Now it has changed again, and so they specified the proportion of all of the 0:48:51.840 --> 0:49:07.860 isomers of vitamin E. And the definition has changed along with it so the way it's prepared is extremely different. 0:49:07.860 --> 0:49:17.200 For example, the octacosanol portion used to be a major part of the function, and now 0:49:17.200 --> 0:49:28.560 that is removed, changing the consistency of the vitamin E and also apparently reducing its biological values. 0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:37.360 So that starting 20 or 30 years ago, there has been a campaign to warn people about the 0:49:37.360 --> 0:49:45.620 potential dangers of high intake of vitamin E. And since the benefits were established 0:49:45.620 --> 0:49:49.620 with different products and different definitions 0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:53.100 about 60 or 70 years ago, 0:49:54.100 --> 0:49:59.640 we don't really have any good research evaluating what's going 0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:03.920 on with present products of vitamin E. So I think it's best 0:50:03.920 --> 0:50:06.700 to be very cautious with your dosing. 0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:09.960 Very good. 0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:14.480 Okay, so Dopa Siva or Dapo Siva maybe is the name, 0:50:14.480 --> 0:50:17.640 asks about blackstrap molasses unsulfured. 0:50:17.640 --> 0:50:20.840 Is it a good source of carbs, potassium and minerals? 0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:21.960 Thanks a million. 0:50:24.720 --> 0:50:29.200 Years ago, I noticed that it had sort of a smoky taste, 0:50:29.760 --> 0:50:38.960 and so I investigated how it's made. And when you put your crude cane juice 0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:48.320 through the crystallization process, the brown stuff gradually, it doesn't crystallize. 0:50:48.320 --> 0:50:53.320 And so as you crystallize the pure sucrose molecules, 0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:58.840 you're separating a gummy brown substance. 0:50:59.040 --> 0:51:04.040 And it turns out that the standard way to make sugar 0:51:05.000 --> 0:51:09.060 is to burn the cane fields 0:51:13.460 --> 0:51:18.080 and then to cut down the bare stalks and grind that up to make your cane juice. 0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:25.080 And if you burn the cane before you extract the sugar, 0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:33.800 you're going to get a lot of smoky material mixed in with the various nutrients 0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:35.520 that produce the brown stuff. 0:51:36.480 --> 0:51:41.480 And so heat, overexposure to heat 0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:51.800 will also cause the amino acids in the natural cane juice to react with the glucose 0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:53.800 in the juice. 0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:58.360 That produces toxic brown material. 0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:08.000 And so the brownness at least reflects the heat breakdown products involving amino acids. 0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:18.440 And probably most often involves some smoke resulting from burning the cane. 0:52:18.440 --> 0:52:28.320 So the fact that a lot of people are having allergy-like reaction to blackstrap. I think it could steer 0:52:28.320 --> 0:52:36.560 people away from it. Okay, good to know. All right, these last couple of questions here we'll take 0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:41.200 and then we'll save the rest for next time since we're running short on time here. But these 0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:48.760 last questions are related. They're both asthma questions. So Constantine asks, Hi, Dr. Peat, 0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:54.080 I'm a 23 year old male, and I've had bad asthma since I was two, 0:52:54.080 --> 0:52:57.400 my asthma is serious enough that I need to use some type of 0:52:57.400 --> 0:53:01.880 inhaler daily. When it's very bad, I use an inhaled corticosteroid. 0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:09.000 And when it's more manageable, I use a rescue inhaler that is androgenic agonist. 0:53:09.000 --> 0:53:11.760 I know these are both harmful drugs to use daily, 0:53:11.760 --> 0:53:13.760 so I would very much like to get off of them. 0:53:13.760 --> 0:53:17.600 I've been experimenting with cyproheptadine, 0:53:17.600 --> 0:53:20.360 pregnenolone, and progesterone as alternatives, 0:53:20.360 --> 0:53:23.480 but none have been able to prevent me 0:53:23.480 --> 0:53:25.600 from needing my asthma inhaler. 0:53:25.600 --> 0:53:27.520 Do you have any ideas on what I can do 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:30.640 to get off the inhaler or alternatively 0:53:30.640 --> 0:53:33.060 on what I can do to mitigate the harm done 0:53:33.060 --> 0:53:34.860 by using the inhalers? 0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:44.360 Checking your foods, a very careful elimination diet 0:53:44.360 --> 0:54:09.800 can usually identify foods that make the symptoms worse. By stimulating different parts of the intestine, researchers have found that you can produce produce all sorts of psychosomatic conditions. Everything from asthma to migraines to epilepsy 0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:15.520 can be provoked by irritating certain parts of the intestine 0:54:15.840 --> 0:54:20.840 and so constipation, diarrhea of some types 0:54:23.160 --> 0:54:31.440 and anything that tends to cause pressure or irritation in the lower 0:54:32.480 --> 0:54:42.400 intestine is a major cause of asthma. And so, looking for foods that are hard to digest, 0:54:48.800 --> 0:54:49.800 for foods that are hard to digest, you can often get a good diet by eliminating certain foods. 0:54:49.800 --> 0:55:00.200 For example, green salads, lettuce or spinach leaves that aren't cooked are extremely irritating 0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:08.520 to the intestine, promote bacterial growth, endotoxin production, as well as just direct 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:12.840 irritation from the nature of the leaf. 0:55:12.840 --> 0:55:31.360 And sometimes simply eliminating salads and undercooked vegetables will do it. The right kind of fiber will sometimes stop the whole problem by getting food to move 0:55:31.360 --> 0:55:38.880 through you faster before it can reach that degree of pressure and irritation. 0:55:40.480 --> 0:55:48.000 That's so interesting. Yeah, I would definitely second that. The gut is always a good place to go when dealing with anything 0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:54.240 that's causing a reaction in the body as well as the how 0:55:54.240 --> 0:55:56.800 about balancing blood sugar? Do you think that would matter 0:55:56.800 --> 0:55:59.600 if he's going a long stretch of time without eating? Would 0:55:59.600 --> 0:56:02.320 balancing his blood sugar, would that help the body calm 0:56:02.320 --> 0:56:07.680 down too? Exactly. Both the chemical irritants 0:56:08.240 --> 0:56:16.800 and the mechanical irritants are ineffective if you have high blood sugar or adequate blood sugar. 0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:25.440 But for example, if you have an inflatable balloon in the animal's intestine. 0:56:28.400 --> 0:56:31.520 And the animal has good blood sugar. If you blow up the balloon, nothing happens. 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:34.960 But if its blood sugar is a little on the low side, 0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:37.680 you blow up the balloon, 0:56:37.680 --> 0:56:42.040 you can produce instant asthma symptoms 0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:48.000 because the autonomic nervous system is destabilized by low sugar. 0:56:48.000 --> 0:56:55.000 Same with allergens. Low blood sugar makes you allergic to more things. 0:56:55.000 --> 0:57:01.000 Yeah, I would agree with that too. So Ruth also asked a question on asthma. 0:57:01.000 --> 0:57:05.000 She said, what are Dr. Peat's views on the use of those inhalers? 0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:09.000 Her sleep is interrupted by hot flashes throughout the night as well. 0:57:09.000 --> 0:57:13.000 What are your views on inhalers and why her sleep is interrupted by hot flashes? 0:57:13.000 --> 0:57:17.000 What is interrupted by the hot flashes? 0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:18.000 Sleep. 0:57:18.000 --> 0:57:28.320 Yeah, her sleep is interrupted by hot flashes throughout the night? Yeah, progesterone, by maintaining your body temperature 0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:31.640 and oxygen use during the night, 0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:36.480 will improve the depth and restfulness of your sleep. 0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:40.560 If your progesterone is low, 0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:43.360 and usually if your thyroid is low, 0:57:43.360 --> 0:57:46.040 your blood sugar is unstable, 0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:48.720 falls too low during the night 0:57:49.680 --> 0:57:53.760 and will trigger all kinds of symptoms, 0:57:53.760 --> 0:57:55.560 hot flashes, night sweats, 0:57:57.280 --> 0:58:01.600 nocturnal asthma and nocturnal epilepsy 0:58:01.600 --> 0:58:05.000 are very well known consequences 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:08.400 of the falling blood sugar during the night. 0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:11.840 Painful things become more painful at night 0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:14.040 because of falling blood sugar. 0:58:15.580 --> 0:58:16.640 Yeah, for sure. 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:18.880 Yeah, definitely the progesterone can help 0:58:18.880 --> 0:58:21.400 with hot flashes just in general in the night. 0:58:21.400 --> 0:58:25.120 So there was something else that you said 0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:27.320 that made me wanna, what were you gonna say? 0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:33.760 Experimenters have used something like a cup full 0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:38.760 of cornstarch as a way to give pure carbohydrates 0:58:39.120 --> 0:58:43.120 at bedtime and I found that even though 0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:45.000 that was not good nutrition, 0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:47.440 it would prevent the hot flashes 0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:51.900 by giving you a constant supply of glucose during the night. 0:58:53.800 --> 0:58:54.840 That's so interesting. 0:58:54.840 --> 0:58:57.840 Like I've had myself included, 0:58:57.840 --> 0:59:00.560 people mentioned that corn in general, 0:59:00.560 --> 0:59:02.140 it seems like they sleep better 0:59:02.140 --> 0:59:03.880 when they have corn for dinner. 0:59:03.880 --> 0:59:05.880 Do you have any thoughts on this? 0:59:05.880 --> 0:59:08.480 Because I don't really love corn for the fact of it does. 0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:11.600 It seems to be a food that can elevate 0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:14.240 blood sugar sometimes too high in certain people. 0:59:14.440 --> 0:59:17.520 But I'm hearing that it actually can help with sleep. 0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:20.120 Would you have any reason why? 0:59:20.320 --> 0:59:25.000 Yeah, it doesn't have, for example, gluten. 0:59:27.080 --> 0:59:28.820 If they're eating corn, 0:59:28.820 --> 0:59:33.820 they might stop eating so much wheat and gluten. 0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:38.840 And especially if the corn is in the form of tortillas 0:59:39.100 --> 0:59:42.700 or lime processed corn, 0:59:42.700 --> 0:59:45.000 that becomes very anti-inflammatory. 0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:52.480 Just having some oatmeal or oat bran mush bedtime, 0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:01.800 those are often very protective, 1:00:01.800 --> 1:00:03.280 keeping your blood sugar up. 1:00:04.640 --> 1:00:05.840 That's so interesting. 1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:07.240 Yeah, I don't have corn very often, 1:00:07.240 --> 1:00:09.160 but I find that if I have it for dinner, 1:00:09.160 --> 1:00:11.280 like you mentioned, like homemade corn tortillas 1:00:11.280 --> 1:00:13.720 or something, it's like my sleep is just phenomenal. 1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:15.760 So I find that interesting. 1:00:16.920 --> 1:00:18.760 Okay, that's all we have for today 1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:20.120 because we'll wrap up here 1:00:20.120 --> 1:00:22.140 and we'll save the rest for next time. 1:00:22.140 --> 1:00:26.000 But Dr. Peat, this is always so enlightening and educational 1:00:26.000 --> 1:00:32.720 and I love hearing your views on so many different topics.
