00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:50.040 Well thank you, good evening and welcome to January the 21st, 2022's edition of Ask Your 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.400 Herb Doctor. 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:52.960 My name is Andrew Murray. 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:55.120 My name is Sarah Johannesen Murray. 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.120 Welcome to our show. 00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:03.000 Well you're listening to KMUD Garberville 91.1 FM here from the Redwood Coast of California 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:10.720 broadcasting nationwide and internationally to a wide range of open-minded perceptive 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:15.200 individuals who want to know what's really going on. 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.800 Well if you want to know what's really going on keep tuned to the show. 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.860 Don't forget to listen to the audio archives that are recorded but unfortunately I only 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:29.680 kept for a month or two at the most but our website has at least ten years of archives 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.440 but I've got at least another two years to put up so excuse me for that it's been a bit 00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:34.440 busy. 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:38.620 Yeah I'd like to comment on the archive situation because I thought that they used to be held 00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:43.500 for a lot longer and one of my past hosts called me up saying hey our organization sent 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:49.200 to people so I was able to tell Simon about that and he was able to give them a special 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:50.200 link. 00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:55.560 They're up there three months as it is right now. 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.560 Interesting. 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.820 It used to be longer but there is a way that you can find a quick link to yours and you 00:03:01.820 --> 00:03:05.760 could put that on your website too and also we as programmers should talk to Kama to try 00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:07.560 to get it back the way it was. 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.520 We record all of them so they are intended to be put on the website but it's the same 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.760 thing I just get so busy that it just kind of slips. 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:20.640 So anyway you're listening to Ask Your Herb Doctor KMUD Garverville 91.1 FM from 7.30 until 00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:22.640 the end of the show at 8 o'clock. 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:28.920 You're invited to call in the questions related or unrelated to this month's subject of MSG 00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:35.800 and cancer and a continuation of estrogen and its progressively destructive effects 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.840 and induction of autoimmunity and cancer. 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.600 We have a bit of a wrap up from last month to finish and then get started with the MSG 00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:49.040 and the glutamate etc and the links to cancer and excitotoxicity. 00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:56.420 There's also a link to COVID and MSG through its negative effects on the immune system. 00:03:56.420 --> 00:03:59.800 So let me see here. 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.040 The number is 707 93 3911. 00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:08.240 So from 7.30 until the end of the show please go ahead and call up with any questions you 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.640 have related to this month's subject or if you have other questions you want to post 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:16.200 to Dr. Peat we'd love to hear them too. 00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:18.160 Okay so Dr. Peat are you with us? 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.160 Yes. 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.160 Okay thanks so much for joining us again. 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:27.120 As usual I think let's just make sure that you are fully introduced to the audience perhaps 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.120 those people some of which may never have heard you and just let them know a little 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.080 bit about you and what your right expertise is. 00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:40.080 Oh now you want to hear from her? 00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:41.080 Yes please. 00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:42.080 Okay. 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:51.980 I had been a student of the humanities and teaching painting and English literature and 00:04:51.980 --> 00:05:00.960 various humanities subjects and I got interested in language and how the brain can do such 00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:08.520 a thing as use language and I decided that the only way to make progress was to go to 00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:17.480 a graduate school in biology and study the brain and so in 1968 I went back to the University 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:27.680 of Oregon and I quickly found that the nerve biology section of the department was very 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:38.080 dogmatic and cared more about their theories than the actual experimental evidence and 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:49.400 in fact didn't like to look too much at experimental results if they didn't absolutely fall in line 00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:59.720 with the theory and I found looking around for several weeks I checked into many different 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:10.880 labs at the University and found that the aging research in reproductive physiology 00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:20.040 and how it's affected by aging they were the most concerned with finding out what's really 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.040 happening. 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:34.600 I'm sorry I decided to do my dissertation on that which I finished in 1972 the age related 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:47.720 oxidative changes in the hamster uterus and surprisingly that had a huge amount of information 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:56.840 relative to brain function and everything else to thoroughly understand what's going 00:06:56.840 --> 00:07:09.520 on in aging changes and how the organism redesigns cells so that they can start a new life from 00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:22.000 a single fertilized ovum that involves the same principles that you need to look at to 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:31.080 see what the brain is doing in relation to behavior and understanding language and so 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:32.080 on. 00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:40.920 So one thing led into another and I've been working on those subjects ever since. 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:41.920 Excellent. 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:50.640 Well from a social perspective I really appreciate your interweaving your artistic nature with 00:07:50.640 --> 00:07:58.280 a fluid understanding perhaps which is not current I think mainstream understanding tends 00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:03.600 to be fairly dogmatic but you have a very fluid plastic way of looking at things and 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:10.520 I know it's bought a very wide spotlight on a lot of subjects that we've covered and really 00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:16.760 appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us and I know as I said many many times the archives 00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:22.080 that we've recorded with you probably for the last 14 years nearly now there are going 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:28.520 to be a living testimony to what's already been confirmed I think somewhat reluctantly 00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:33.320 by some industries because they'd like to keep control of their dominance but a lot 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.200 of these things that you've been saying have been confirmed and I think slowly but surely 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.800 people are getting a much better understanding of the way things really are unlike what they've 00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:43.880 been told. 00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:48.720 So I think without further ado I just wanted to say for those that are listening that there 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.720 was several several questions that I wanted to ask Dr. Peat last month about estrogen 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.280 its relationship to autoimmunity and cancer but very quickly I just wanted to cover a 00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:05.120 couple of things from an herbal perspective surrounding estrogen and aromatase I just 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:12.480 want to share with people so last month I mentioned a cucurbitaceous vine bearing plant 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:20.160 called Momodica charantia which is a bit of melon has been used to block estrogen essentially 00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:27.240 has estrogen modulating properties and this is an anti-diabetic plant essentially kind 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.520 of works with regulating blood glucose. 00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:37.360 I wanted to also mention artemisinin a component really of wormwood but also artemisia annua that 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.440 actually contains not just anti-parasitic anti-microbial and antiviral effects but has also been shown 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.680 to reduce the estrogen receptor function in breast cancer cell lines so that's worth people 00:09:48.680 --> 00:09:56.840 taking a look at PubMed or any other peer-reviewed work done by postdocs or PhDs who are looking 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:06.000 at this as an interesting part of their thesis so artemisinin does have anti-estrogenic activity. 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:11.200 I wanted to say quickly that also tamoxifen you know may be useful in the treatment of 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:18.720 immune mediated disorders particularly those arising from aberrant helper T1 cell activity 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:25.840 including allograft rejection it's also been used with some success in Crohn's but wanted 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:32.960 just to bring that out that the induced shift away from cellular immunity represents a significant 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:38.940 step in fostering a cancerogenic environment and this may limit the anti-cancer effects 00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:44.320 of tamoxifen and thus explained why tamoxifen is inferior compared to other anti-estrogens 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.660 many of which Dr. Peat's brought out many of which we're probably going to be covering 00:10:47.660 --> 00:10:53.320 again quickly for preventing disease recurrence in early breast tumors early stage breast 00:10:53.320 --> 00:11:01.000 tumors so I think let's get into before we retrace too much that was a small part of 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.240 what I wanted just to make sure they got out there first of all but I think let's just 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:14.800 kick off tonight with the topic of MSG and we've had the last couple of shows on estrogen 00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:21.720 but last month specifically from an excitotoxic perspective that is where the cell is getting 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:29.980 so excited that essentially it goes into an early death cycle but more than certainly 00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:36.160 in glutamate the food and drug administration has considered it safe to add to food and 00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:42.280 it's one of the most abundantly found amino acids in nature and is present in a heterogeneous 00:11:42.280 --> 00:11:49.760 group of foods as a flavor enhancement issued as a food additive known as E621 in the form 00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:56.720 of hydrolyzed protein or as a purified monosodium salt and very early on and this is how I want 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:04.120 to ask you Dr. Peat to kind of compare these two early on they were demonstrating or they 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:09.840 seemingly were demonstrating the benefits of monosodium glutamate as responsible for 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.360 increasing temperature decreasing body mass and decreasing production of fat tissue so 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:22.280 that it would be readily taken up I mean not just because of the umami flavor and the taste 00:12:22.280 --> 00:12:28.200 benefits a taste enhancing benefits that were conferred to foods that had monosodium glutamate 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:36.080 added to them and I was surprised to find that there was a wide variety of foods including 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:42.040 things like walnuts, garlic, onion, potatoes these will be pre-packaged perhaps dried products 00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:47.320 not just not the fresh product although some of these products do contain their own natural 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:54.920 glutamate of course but and then chicken, beef, eggs, human milk and cow milk and actually 00:12:54.920 --> 00:13:01.640 in fairly large amounts so the negative effect of this glutamine essentially was that it 00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:06.680 suppressed the oxidation of glucose so I'm wondering there are claims of obesity whereas 00:13:06.680 --> 00:13:10.280 before they were talking about how it was going to increase your metabolism and burn 00:13:10.280 --> 00:13:15.120 fat and speed you up and everything else but Dr. Peat you've been looking at monosodium 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.520 glutamate and its excitotoxic effects and that will a little later on we'll get into 00:13:19.520 --> 00:13:25.600 some of the potential cancer risks associated and why the FDA is still not banning it. 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:36.280 Yeah I think the weight loss thing was just a sales point to sell the flavoring substance 00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:48.920 in the 1970s mostly J.W. Olney found that when rats were fed just a little more than 00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:59.720 the amount that a person could normally eat in various artificial foods or add as flavoring 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:09.720 that the brain was damaged in a certain way that led to life long obesity, destruction 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:19.080 of enough of the brain that appetite remained out of control and the metabolic rate wasn't 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:32.960 sufficient to keep weight steady and over a period of several years he did many experiments 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:45.720 including showing that the same sort of molecule aspartic acid or aspartame or variations but 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:55.640 as long as it was acting through the glutamate receptor or the aspartate receptor it had 00:14:55.640 --> 00:15:05.040 this range of excitatory effects that one of the positive things was that it made you 00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:16.440 seem more alert but that alertness came at the expense of not having enough energy produced 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:24.360 to meet the high energy consumption caused by the excitatory action of the aspartate 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.360 or glutamate. 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:36.160 Is the aspartate or aspartame also like that fake sugar or spalinda or something like that? 00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:40.760 NutraSweet I thought it was or NutraSweet, it's aspartic acid with methanol and then 00:15:40.760 --> 00:15:46.680 it degrades into methanol and leaves methanol in your neurons. 00:15:46.680 --> 00:16:03.160 Aspartame is super sweet, sweeter than saccharin but the amount that is toxic is very small 00:16:03.160 --> 00:16:13.280 and they've demonstrated that it can cause brain cancer and only among others in the 00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:28.600 late 70s was showing that the sudden appearance of a rising incidence of gliomas, malignant glial cells 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:41.320 tumors, brain cancer, he demonstrated you could cause those by overfeeding the glutamate 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:50.160 or MSG to animals and that the rise in the population, incidence and mortality from these 00:16:50.160 --> 00:17:02.840 tumors followed by a few years the introduction of foods that were loaded with everything 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:16.360 from aspartame to MSG and looking at the animal research where you have no growing incidence 00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:24.980 of brain cancer is partly caused by the artificial sweeteners and flavoring materials. 00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:30.080 Just goes to show we can't trust the ethics of the FDA if they're allowing that type of 00:17:30.080 --> 00:17:32.120 product on the market. 00:17:32.120 --> 00:17:39.840 And cell phones have corresponded, for example, if a person habitually holds their cell phone 00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:50.940 to the right ear, the incidence of brain tumors on the right side of a particular kind has 00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:57.760 increased sharply since the use of cell phones and it happens that they are both causes of 00:17:57.760 --> 00:18:10.040 excitotoxicity. The electromagnetic field excites the cells and you need to provide 00:18:10.040 --> 00:18:21.800 energy to keep up with that or the cell dies and ongoing experiments show that when cells 00:18:21.800 --> 00:18:33.280 are endangered by such things as MSG or aspartame, if you intervene by giving them a super amount 00:18:33.280 --> 00:18:45.080 of sugar glucose or other sugar will save the neurons simply by feeding whatever is 00:18:45.080 --> 00:19:00.680 needed to keep up with the high level of excitation. And that is an image, the excitotoxic conflict 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:10.920 between unavoidable stimulation of excitation combined with something interfering with the 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:24.440 oxidation of glucose. That isn't applicable only to aging and gliomas, a terminal type 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:36.440 of brain cancer usually. It applies to epilepsy, for example, if the cells aren't able to keep 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:46.440 up their energy production and use with the excitation as the seizure gets out of control 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:55.800 and damages the tissue. And it turns out that other, it isn't just nerve cells, they're 00:19:55.800 --> 00:20:06.840 just the most obvious among the earliest to respond to extreme disparity between the energy 00:20:06.840 --> 00:20:21.600 supply and the energy needed to meet the stimulation. But any cell that can be exaggeratedly stimulated 00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:30.720 can be rescued if you keep the sugar supply up. But if it isn't kept up, then that cell 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:43.800 it becomes, for example, it can become cancerous. Excited cells can form brain tumors or they 00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:52.520 can just die leading to dementia or various types of brain function loss depending on 00:20:52.520 --> 00:20:58.960 which cells they are. This is like a kind of wasteful entropy then that happens as a lack 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:09.480 of input of the energy needed to keep the cell going. Yeah. And it's made worse by overlapping 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:22.580 influences. It isn't just cell phone radiation and a spark name and MSG, but it's many different 00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:31.360 things all have that same function. So eating Chinese food has MSG in it, drinking a diet 00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:37.080 soda, the last talking on your cell phone, holding it up to your head. And if you look 00:21:37.080 --> 00:21:49.480 at what any stress does, no matter what you're doing to yourself, vibration or laser overstimulation 00:21:49.480 --> 00:22:01.400 or telephone overstimulation or even simply glucose deprivation or oxygen deprivation, 00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:09.280 they all turn out to be excitatory. I think to coin that term wasteful was probably a 00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:13.600 good way for people who are listening to the show to understand the term excitatory. It's 00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:21.440 kind of very wasteful blowing off of your energy with just inefficient processes. 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:34.960 Yeah, and it happens that the feeding of energy in the form of sugar has a sedative action 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:48.000 that leads to turning down the degree of excitation, the harmful influence that the damage to the 00:22:48.000 --> 00:23:02.000 cell which might be oxygen or glucose deprivation or temperature too cold or too hot, anything 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:15.480 harmful turns out to activate a whole range of short-term solutions that if the cell perceives 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:24.120 that it is not getting enough energy to meet the needs. One alternative is to try to go 00:23:24.120 --> 00:23:34.640 into hibernation to turn off its own needs for energy. And to do that, it has the equipment 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:45.240 for producing serotonin which will help to retain, prevent loss of heat through the skin, 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:53.800 but it also turns down the production of heat and so it leads to a colder and colder state, 00:23:53.800 --> 00:23:58.920 suspended animation to a degree. 00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:07.320 Another universal basic type of reaction is the formation of histamine. When a cell is 00:24:07.320 --> 00:24:15.520 in desperate dying conditions, it forms and secretes histamine into its environment because 00:24:15.520 --> 00:24:26.200 the histamine will open up any closed blood vessels and get more blood delivered. Estrogen 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:37.680 is another of these short-term emergency things. The estrogen in turn can activate the serotonin 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:47.160 system and cool off the whole energy consuming apparatus and it can activate the histamine 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:56.120 system. And there are other systems like it activates nitric oxide formation that opens 00:24:56.120 --> 00:25:05.200 up the blood vessels the same way histamine does and it can activate heme oxygenase which 00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:15.920 breaks down heme which had been used to make the cells energy now when it is in the desperate 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:28.400 condition. Breaking down the heme will provide some antioxidant function. Billy Rubin and 00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:39.000 carbon monoxide are produced under these circumstances. The carbon monoxide can serve as an antioxidant 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:50.480 blocking the ability to consume oxygen until moving the system into a tort-proof or hibernation. 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:57.160 So it is all lots of inflammation. Lots of wasteful mechanisms to waste and deplete the 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:02.600 organism of energy and further send the cell into a desperate state. Michael, you had a 00:26:02.600 --> 00:26:10.520 question. Yeah, my understanding is that the glutamate or the accent flavor is stimulating 00:26:10.520 --> 00:26:16.680 the unami flavor and a lot of the high protein and other nutritious foods stimulate that 00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:23.120 too. How is it that the body is able to be benefited by eating like a nice high protein 00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:31.080 diet? Okay, yes. The hydrolyzed protein and the soy protein and a lot of those products 00:26:31.080 --> 00:26:44.000 are totally big sources of MSG. Dr. Peat, how about the flavoring side of MSG? Or as 00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:52.120 much its natural presence in the diet versus? Yes, that in the natural state where protein 00:26:52.120 --> 00:27:07.560 is a rare delicacy for most animals, the urge to eat some protein, it's a definite survival 00:27:07.560 --> 00:27:17.960 urge. You want to build muscle, make new tissue and so on. But the trouble is when the society 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:28.560 provides lots and lots of cheap protein, people get in the habit of not being guided by their 00:27:28.560 --> 00:27:37.080 appetite and cravings but just eating it because it's there and even because it's considered 00:27:37.080 --> 00:27:45.880 the most valuable food that people tend to overeat on protein after they're around the 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:53.280 age of 20 or so, as their growth slows down, they tend to keep eating for the 15-year-olds 00:27:53.280 --> 00:28:08.160 they were. As long as you're growing and consuming, you respond to the signal action of the glutamate 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:17.360 and so on. But as soon as you've responded, you go into an anabolic state and pick up 00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:27.160 all of those individual amino acids and make muscle and brain tissue and renew all of your 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:36.160 tissues and make them bigger and stronger. But once your size is established, then if 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:45.160 you keep eating that same amount, you're going to have a lot of excess beyond your needs, 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:56.600 excess histidine, tryptophan, methionine, cystine, aspartate, glutamate, all of these 00:28:56.600 --> 00:29:02.400 potentially excitotoxic amino acids. 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:08.360 So when you recommend people consume 75 to 100 grams of protein a day, you're not recommending 00:29:08.360 --> 00:29:13.740 they consume that all in the form of muscle meat or eggs. You typically don't recommend 00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:20.000 more than two eggs a day and most of your protein requirements you believe should be 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.560 coming from dairy. 00:29:21.560 --> 00:29:33.640 Yes, and after you're grown up in size, you should try to learn to go by your actual biological 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:39.700 urges rather than what advertising tells you to eat. 00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:47.960 So how many ounces of a muscle protein, whether it's fish, shellfish, meat, chicken, would 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:53.520 you recommend is a safe level for adults, grown adults? 00:29:53.520 --> 00:30:04.760 Yes, as your metabolic rate slows down and that happens steadily from puberty, it first 00:30:04.760 --> 00:30:16.840 slows down very quickly after puberty and then it has a level decline, a steady annual 00:30:16.840 --> 00:30:25.160 decline of ability to make new tissue and produce energy. 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:32.280 And so the older you are, the more careful you have to be about having an excess of the, 00:30:32.280 --> 00:30:36.760 especially the excitotoxic amino acids. 00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:41.440 So I guess it's just based upon your activity level and your age is what you're saying? 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:51.640 Yes, I think it was Adele Davis said in pointing out that gelatin is considered an incomplete 00:30:51.640 --> 00:31:01.360 protein because animals and people can't grow if they aren't getting amino acids lacking 00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:12.480 in gelatin, but she said she had seen lots of old women going for years, living on a 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:25.120 diet of toast and jello and tea, which are practically their only protein being the gelatin, 00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:33.480 which is not a complete protein, but that was just an illustration of what a very tiny amount 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.880 of a very old person needs. 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.440 Okay, you're listening to Ask Your Herbs Doctor KMUD. 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:44.080 Garberville 91.1 FM from now, 7.30, till the end of the show, the 8 o'clock, you're invited 00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:51.120 to call into questions, the number is 707 923 3911, guest speaker Dr. Raymond Peat, we're 00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:58.080 discussing excitotoxicity and monosodium glutamate in particular, we'll carry on getting into 00:31:58.080 --> 00:32:02.240 some of the other adverse effects of monobutamate in a moment here. 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:10.560 I pulled up an article that was describing the exposure of rats to monosodium glutamate 00:32:10.560 --> 00:32:17.880 at the neonatal stage severely damaging their hypothalamic nuclei, which resulted in increased 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:23.880 body weight, as we've mentioned, fat deposition, decreased motor activity, secretion of growth 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:29.920 hormone and MSG appears to be a suitable candidate for inducing obesity, which leads to diabetes, 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:34.240 so this is what we're talking about, what you're talking about, what you've explained 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:42.400 from an excitotoxic energy wasteful activity mediated by MSG. 00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:48.440 Funny enough, as I said at the very beginning, the FDA is still behind it, they haven't thrown 00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:54.400 it out, they are still advocating its use or inclusion into foods, and like I said, 00:32:54.400 --> 00:33:01.880 I was very surprised that even things like human milk and cow milk had some of the monosodium 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:05.880 glutamate component in it, it wasn't just the kind of thing we would typically think 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.280 about which would be Chinese food, for example, or soy, etc. 00:33:09.280 --> 00:33:13.320 I wonder if it's allowed to be in products without being listed as an additive, Dr. Peat, 00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:15.200 do you know anything about that? 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:26.600 I think legally it has to be listed, they have some alternatives like calling it a vegetable 00:33:26.600 --> 00:33:36.880 broth or something, when it's really an MSG extracted from soybean. 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:41.480 Can it be natural flavor if it's less than a certain percentage, like some other stuff? 00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:43.240 I suppose so. 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:44.240 What about tamari? 00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:51.400 Sorry, before we move on from the MSG topic, tamari is a wheat-free soy sauce and fermented 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:55.280 soy protein, so doesn't that form like a natural MSG as well? 00:33:55.280 --> 00:33:56.280 Yeah. 00:33:56.280 --> 00:33:59.520 So is that something that should be limited in someone's diet? 00:33:59.520 --> 00:34:01.240 I think so. 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:06.700 Okay, so I wanted just to bring out quickly that I saw an article again while I was looking 00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:15.240 at this month's subject this afternoon, a curcumin from Turmeric protects against monosodium 00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:23.880 glutamate neurotoxicity and decreasing NMDA2B, which is N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B, 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:30.160 and I know, Dr. Peat, you'd mentioned NMDA earlier, and that's kind of an interesting 00:34:30.160 --> 00:34:36.660 article saying that it basically affected this expression in the rat hippocampus. 00:34:36.660 --> 00:34:44.760 So that's another good plus point for Turmeric and its anti-inflammatory activity, also directly. 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:55.560 There are lots of the flavonoids like quercetin and murisetin in coffee, and coffee has lots 00:34:55.560 --> 00:35:04.520 of tissue-protective anti-cancer, anti-dementia effects that I think are largely the effect 00:35:04.520 --> 00:35:11.120 of the flavonoid components. 00:35:11.120 --> 00:35:17.360 I wonder this probably through a free radical quenching process. 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:25.220 Okay, another article I pulled out mentioned that the vital role of the hippocampus in 00:35:25.220 --> 00:35:31.680 memory formation and regulation of behavior showing that glutamate was involved in increasing 00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:38.540 the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, an example of tumor necrosis factor alpha 00:35:38.540 --> 00:35:42.940 being one of them, which contributes to the brain damage and the death of neurons. 00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:46.160 So this gave a mechanism by which that would happen. 00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:59.480 Yeah, and there has been a lot of study of how the excitotoxic things like glutamate, 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:13.240 what they're actually doing to make the cell become more active, and they assumed for many 00:36:13.240 --> 00:36:24.320 of the studies that glucose was somehow able to reduce the uptake or retention by the cell 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:34.560 of the excitotoxic agent, but a more detailed study found that, in fact, the cells were 00:36:34.560 --> 00:36:44.400 being protected by high glucose addition without changing the concentration of aspartate or 00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:47.600 glutamate inside the cell. 00:36:47.600 --> 00:37:00.040 But what was happening was that normally the process of responding to the excitotoxin means 00:37:00.040 --> 00:37:11.840 that the cell is taking up and retaining excitatory molecule calcium, which should be an extracellular 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:22.960 molecule when the cell retains too much and goes into the excited, inflamed energy wasting 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:34.080 state, and what they found was that the addition of extra glucose allowed the cell to extrude 00:37:34.080 --> 00:37:37.240 more calcium. 00:37:37.240 --> 00:37:44.960 As it continued to metabolize, the calcium was being pushed out of the cell under the 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:55.320 influence of the glucose, and apparently the mechanism for that is that glucose promotes 00:37:55.320 --> 00:38:04.600 the increase of carbon dioxide formation as it's metabolized, and the carbon dioxide forming 00:38:04.600 --> 00:38:19.840 the carbonic acid leaves the cell and takes with it the counter-ion, the doubly positively 00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:34.920 charged calcium and some sodium, so the flow of carbonic acid out of the cell is taking 00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:47.000 care of the calcium accumulation product which is the basic cause of the inflammation, pain, 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:48.000 and cell death. 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:53.640 Okay, if you're listening to Ask Your Herb Doctor Garverille, 91.1 FM. 00:38:53.640 --> 00:38:58.680 From now until 8 o'clock, you've invited to call in at 707-923-3911. 00:38:58.680 --> 00:39:08.400 So let me just quickly outline the typical foods that people will probably be aware or 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:15.440 unaware of that are glutamate rich, and it's not a bash at the vegetarians, but it just 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:24.360 so happens that hydrolyzed vegetable protein is very high in glutamate, autolyzed yeast, 00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:32.320 hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extracts, soy extracts, and protein isolate are all very high in glutamate. 00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:40.620 These do form, without being prejudiced in any way, do form a fairly large part of a 00:39:40.620 --> 00:39:48.100 vegetarian or a vegan diet as an alternative protein source, but they do contain a lot 00:39:48.100 --> 00:39:50.800 of glutamate, so just to be aware of that. 00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:55.920 Yeah, a lot of bullions, I notice, even if they're organic and they say organic vegetable 00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:02.560 bullion or organic chicken bullion or beef bullion, they have a yeast extract, and I 00:40:02.560 --> 00:40:07.480 notice if I use that or eat that, I feel like I've had an MSG burn on my tongue. 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:11.680 Okay, we have a caller, so let's take this next caller. 00:40:11.680 --> 00:40:12.680 Caller, you're on the air. 00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:13.680 Where are you from? 00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:14.680 What's your question? 00:40:14.680 --> 00:40:19.560 I live on the Avenue of the Giants, where I pick up trash, and my question is going 00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:22.600 to take you guys back to the basics. 00:40:22.600 --> 00:40:28.280 Can you explain the inflammation, what you mean, is the inflammation of the cells or 00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:33.800 is the inflammation around the muscle tissue and particularly around like arthritis and 00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.480 just the aches and pains of getting older? 00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:47.120 Okay, Dr. Peat, would you want to briefly explain inflammation in terms of its physical process? 00:40:47.120 --> 00:40:56.800 People in recent years have been talking about inflammation, the inflammation, as if that 00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:08.560 explains something, but the process of aging obviously involves increased inflammation 00:41:08.560 --> 00:41:20.400 in every sense we know, but the problem is to see what the basic events are in cell structure 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:33.140 and pain, excitation, inflammation and aging all have these aspects of excitotoxic cell 00:41:33.140 --> 00:41:43.360 damage and the inability to remedy the problem by making enough energy or delivering enough 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:46.360 energy. 00:41:46.360 --> 00:42:01.960 The heme oxygenase, one of the emergency enzymes that produces carbon monoxide, there have 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:14.200 been probably 95% of the publications are describing carbon monoxide as an antioxidant, 00:42:14.200 --> 00:42:25.120 it's very protective and so on, but if you look at the deteriorated brain in old age, 00:42:25.120 --> 00:42:35.560 there is more carbon monoxide in it than at any previous life stage, so carbon monoxide 00:42:35.560 --> 00:42:48.240 presence is a degenerative aspect of inflammation and cell deterioration. 00:42:48.240 --> 00:42:57.400 If you block the formation of nitric oxide, for example, a traumatic wound to the head 00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:09.880 or spinal cord, if you block the formation of carbon monoxide, you prevent most of the 00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:24.080 damage development of edema and cell death and so on, so the chemistry of aging, inflammation 00:43:24.080 --> 00:43:39.520 and deterioration, it's a complex of things that express the same idea as excitotoxicity. 00:43:39.520 --> 00:43:41.560 And wasteful energy waste processes. 00:43:41.560 --> 00:43:42.560 Okay, great. 00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:47.000 Well, listen, we've got two more callers on the line, so thank you for your last call. 00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:51.640 An administrative note to that first caller, Kevin, we lost your phone number, please call 00:43:51.640 --> 00:43:52.640 us back. 00:43:52.640 --> 00:43:56.720 He wants to volunteer for us and we're stoked that he wants to volunteer for us, but we lost 00:43:56.720 --> 00:43:57.720 his phone number. 00:43:57.720 --> 00:44:00.900 So, Kevin, please call back and here's our next caller. 00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:03.200 Call away from and what's your question? 00:44:03.200 --> 00:44:05.840 I think you have a radio. 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:10.880 Oh no, the caller didn't listen on their phone like I asked, oh well, here's our next caller. 00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:11.880 Okay, please. 00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:12.880 Next caller, this is you. 00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:16.520 Yeah, that second caller should call back when they get a moment, so next caller, where 00:44:16.520 --> 00:44:17.520 you from? 00:44:17.520 --> 00:44:18.520 What's your question? 00:44:18.520 --> 00:44:21.000 Oh yeah, I'm from South Central Los Angeles. 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:27.880 I was listening to the conversation and what I wanted to know was how long does the body 00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:33.400 take, you know, to heal from all the damage, let's say you reduce all the estrogen, the 00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:40.400 pollen, saturated fat, all the inflammatory things, how long does it take for somebody's 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:46.200 body to reverse the damage, is there a difference in age or is it the same for everyone? 00:44:46.200 --> 00:44:55.720 Yeah, the young person with a higher metabolic rate can change everything more quickly. 00:44:55.720 --> 00:45:02.960 The average person, if you move from a country that eats a lot of polyunsaturated fats to 00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:11.600 a country that eats very little of them, it can take four years to equilibrate to the 00:45:11.600 --> 00:45:14.320 new balance in the diet. 00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:26.400 But if you make an extreme effort, like one of the early researchers in suppose the sensuality 00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:32.760 of polyunsaturated fats, they were going to demonstrate that he would get sick if he ate 00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:41.560 a laboratory purified diet, absolutely lacking polyunsaturated fats, but about three or four 00:45:41.560 --> 00:45:50.720 months into the diet all of his chronic health problems disappeared, or chronic migraines 00:45:50.720 --> 00:45:58.640 and other symptoms and stayed away for as long as was reported. 00:45:58.640 --> 00:46:09.360 So in his case with an extreme avoidance of just one harmful nutrient, his lifelong problems 00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:12.000 disappeared in just a few months. 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:19.840 Wow, so that would be also to, like if you reduce things to get rid of estrogen as well, 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:24.680 for they say my wife has suffered from fibroids and has had a couple miscarriages such as 00:46:24.680 --> 00:46:25.680 fibroids. 00:46:25.680 --> 00:46:35.440 Yeah, with the right amount, for example, a friend of mine who was 40 and wanted to 00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:46.880 get pregnant, the picture showed that she had a tennis ball-sized fibroid blocking the 00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:53.600 end of her uterus so the tubes couldn't open to deliver the ovum. 00:46:53.600 --> 00:47:02.680 But she took an overdose of fibroid and every month the doctor, besides telling her she 00:47:02.680 --> 00:47:10.320 was going to die from taking too much thyroid, made an image showing that the fibroid was 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:19.680 shrunken, and every month it got smaller and I think it was about the fifth month it had 00:47:19.680 --> 00:47:25.520 become about a fourth of its original size and she was pregnant. 00:47:25.520 --> 00:47:32.880 So the five months made a big difference just by using thyroid hormone, natural thyroid 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:36.240 hormone, that lowered her estrogen and improved her liver function. 00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:43.680 And there were so many other out of balance components of the diet, too much iron in most 00:47:43.680 --> 00:47:53.640 people's food, too much methionine, aspartate, glutamate, cysteine. 00:47:53.640 --> 00:48:01.640 By fixing any one component you can see drastic effects, so if you've fixed half a dozen of 00:48:01.640 --> 00:48:11.800 these things that are out of balance, it should produce just very huge effects quickly. 00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:15.240 Okay, we do have another caller on here, so let's... 00:48:15.240 --> 00:48:16.240 Thank you very much, you guys. 00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:17.240 Yeah, you're very welcome. 00:48:17.240 --> 00:48:18.240 Thanks for calling in. 00:48:18.240 --> 00:48:19.240 Thank you for your call. 00:48:19.240 --> 00:48:21.760 We do have another caller, so let's make sure we get time for this next person. 00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:25.460 If you're listening and you'd like to call in, we've still another at least five or eight 00:48:25.460 --> 00:48:31.280 minutes, number 707-923-3911, our guest speaker, Dr. Raymond Peake. 00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:32.920 So caller, you're on the airway from? 00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:33.920 What's your question? 00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:36.920 Hi, I'm from Arcata. 00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:44.560 My question is, I have a young grandson who has had two episodes of big intestinal bleeding, 00:48:44.560 --> 00:48:51.400 a couple of visits to a pediatric hospital with every scope of his upper and lower GI 00:48:51.400 --> 00:49:00.000 done not finding anything, figuring it's something called Mecol, some lesion in your small intestine. 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:08.680 My question is, could you recommend any foods that would be soothing to the GI tract or 00:49:08.680 --> 00:49:13.180 nutritionally beneficial especially? 00:49:13.180 --> 00:49:18.960 The people vary in their sensitivities, but the first thing to do would be to absolutely 00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:29.880 avoid foods that have added gums, especially carrageenan, but a very high percentage of 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:42.880 foods now contain vegetable gums or microbial gums or carrageenan, all of which are very 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:53.040 pro-inflammatory, and just knocking out those foods can stop things like chronic bowel bleeding. 00:49:53.040 --> 00:49:56.840 Okay, I appreciate that. 00:49:56.840 --> 00:50:05.440 Would aloe vera or flipriome be some kind of panacea to help be soothing, or have you 00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:06.440 any recommendations? 00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:18.760 I would ultimately figure out what exactly it is, a lesion or diverticulum or whatever. 00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:21.800 How old is your grandson? 00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:23.800 Nine. 00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:26.080 That's young. 00:50:26.080 --> 00:50:34.000 Just straight off the top, it might sound a little mild, but in Germany and in Europe, 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:38.800 obviously in England, where I grew up and I studied herbal medicine, chamomile was the 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:41.600 number one GI anti-inflammatory. 00:50:41.600 --> 00:50:49.640 It's got a fairly pronounced effect in blocking inflammation and soothing the GI tract, so 00:50:49.640 --> 00:50:54.520 chamomile is mother of the gut, nurse of the gut, and that would be one of the first things 00:50:54.520 --> 00:51:01.200 that I would give somebody from a herbal perspective, obviously, depending on what kind of bleeding 00:51:01.200 --> 00:51:06.900 we're talking about, gentle tannins would also be indicated from an herbal perspective 00:51:06.900 --> 00:51:13.760 to gently astringent the capillaries or the other tissues that are leaking blood into 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:18.160 the lumen of the small intestine or large intestine. 00:51:18.160 --> 00:51:20.720 That can be as simple as black tea or green tea. 00:51:20.720 --> 00:51:26.320 Black tea would be totally indicated, as would many other astringent containing herbs like 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:34.080 potentilla and...and it's very important to check his thyroid and vitamin D levels, because 00:51:34.080 --> 00:51:44.400 a deficiency of either of those can make the intestine hypersensitive to inflammation. 00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:48.840 It would look like, if you haven't already done, it's, and I imagine it's been looked 00:51:48.840 --> 00:51:52.920 at, but obviously hemoglobin would be looked at, because I would imagine if he's had long-term 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:59.480 chronic bleeding, it'd be anemic, and that's going to be a negative factor for him in terms 00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:06.680 of his energy and to support that, plenty of foods that would contain naturally present 00:52:06.680 --> 00:52:11.640 iron rather than any iron supplement, as Dr. Peat already mentioned, iron is very reactive 00:52:11.640 --> 00:52:17.040 and is quite an inflammatory and damaging molecule, so definitely go with foods that 00:52:17.040 --> 00:52:18.920 would be iron-rich and liver. 00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:30.600 Oh, and avoiding synthetic vitamin C, as you mentioned, iron, the synthetic vitamin C reacts 00:52:30.600 --> 00:52:35.120 with the traces of iron in your body to produce inflammation. 00:52:35.120 --> 00:52:37.080 Okay, we have one more caller. 00:52:37.080 --> 00:52:41.360 Caller, the last person who was on, the lady with the grandson, if you ever wanted to get 00:52:41.360 --> 00:52:47.680 any more information from us, you can always email me, andrew@westernbotanicalmedicine.com, 00:52:47.680 --> 00:52:51.320 give you an outline of what would be a fairly good diet, and if you want to take it any 00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:54.480 further, we can always discuss it, but let's take this next caller. 00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:57.640 Caller, you're on the way from, what's your question? 00:52:57.640 --> 00:53:02.120 Hi, I'm a person from Queens, New York. 00:53:02.120 --> 00:53:05.800 I have a question about dentistry. 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:14.280 I would like to know, what would you say, Dr. Peat, are the basic consequences of not 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:21.440 killing a cavity, and is there any damage to the nervous system that takes place if 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:26.560 you leave the cavity unfilled? 00:53:26.560 --> 00:53:27.560 A cavity? 00:53:27.560 --> 00:53:31.920 Yeah, talking about dentistry and a cavity that he's potentially having dealt with but 00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:33.880 maybe considered not. 00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:48.560 If the damage is only into the enamel, that can be remineralized, but once it's, if it 00:53:48.560 --> 00:53:54.760 enters into the dentine, then it really needs to be filled. 00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:59.120 I think it's my understanding that cavities killed more people than anything else in the 00:53:59.120 --> 00:54:05.120 middle ages, just because it would rot depending on how I left the carrier as well, yeah. 00:54:05.120 --> 00:54:08.640 Yeah, dental disease is definitely a big killer. 00:54:08.640 --> 00:54:11.040 Okay, well, let me just say this. 00:54:11.040 --> 00:54:13.760 I think probably I'd like to ask you a few more questions, Dr. Peat. 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:17.560 I'm not too sure if anyone else is calling in with any questions, but I did want to just 00:54:17.560 --> 00:54:20.880 get out this information for people to take a look at. 00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:26.880 You mentioned a researcher, Blaylock. 00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:33.960 Now I looked up this person and in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory Practice and Research 00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:38.480 dated January 2021, I saw a very interesting article. 00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:45.880 It wasn't actually related straight away to excitotoxicity, but the title was excitotoxicity 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:52.640 and immuno-excitotoxicity as a critical component of the cytokine storm reaction in pulmonary 00:54:52.640 --> 00:54:57.240 viral infection, including SARS-CoV-2. 00:54:57.240 --> 00:55:01.760 Basically stating that this hyperimmune state secondary to dysregulation of the immune system 00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:09.160 during lower pulmonary viral infections was ultimately causative in the end for cytokine 00:55:09.160 --> 00:55:18.600 storm and that a researcher called Morimoto et al., the people that formed this particular 00:55:18.600 --> 00:55:24.160 thesis found that co-injection of lipopolysaccharide, which we've always mentioned as being a very 00:55:24.160 --> 00:55:32.120 negative substance in the body, plus the NMDA agonist, which is a compound called ibotenate 00:55:32.120 --> 00:55:36.640 or ibotenic acid from aminita muscaria of all things. 00:55:36.640 --> 00:55:41.480 I just wanted to bring this out because on a side note, aminita muscaria having been used 00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:50.000 as a hallucinogen, certainly very liver-toxic, but obviously has more significant neuronal 00:55:50.000 --> 00:56:04.360 damage causative activity through the exocytoxic arm of the reaction. 00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:11.920 The SARS-CoV-2 cytokine storm thing is quite interesting from that immuno-excitotoxicity. 00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:18.440 Okay, I do want to say one more thing about the caller who called from New York asking 00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.240 about cavities. 00:56:20.240 --> 00:56:28.200 We see a holistic dentist in Medford, Oregon, and he recommends Lugol's iodine for those 00:56:28.200 --> 00:56:33.400 cavities that are just invading the enamel, the tooth, rather than going all the way into 00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:35.560 the dentine. 00:56:35.560 --> 00:56:42.040 He said because it's so close on the periodic table of elements to fluoride, and it is not 00:56:42.040 --> 00:56:49.400 neurotoxic like fluoride is, it's a safe alternative to use, besides being antimicrobial, a low 00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:57.360 percentage solution of iodine called Lugol's iodine is very helpful for remineralizing superficial 00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:58.360 cavities. 00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:03.960 I'll throw a plug out there for flossing, as one wise person said, "Floss only those 00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:05.760 teeth you wish to keep." 00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:08.000 Okay, thanks so much for your time, Dr. Peat. 00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:11.480 I just wanted to read out one last thing before we close the show. 00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:14.800 Okay, so last month I came out with the same paragraph. 00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:19.480 I've changed it slightly, but again, Europe has lifted the mandate for everything related 00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:21.600 to COVID as well as iodine. 00:57:21.600 --> 00:57:23.600 Britain, England, not Europe. 00:57:23.600 --> 00:57:28.600 The subject of the paragraph I just want to read out now slowly so people can hear and 00:57:28.600 --> 00:57:29.600 understand. 00:57:29.600 --> 00:57:35.400 "Authoritarianism and the age of acceptance have it all and have nothing. 00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:40.880 We're evolving as a species, and with our evolution comes a concept of deranged acceptance. 00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:45.480 Nature is not accepting, but rather through evolutionary pressure, it selects the fittest 00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.260 and is quite barbaric. 00:57:47.260 --> 00:57:50.040 It takes no prisoners and is quite merciless. 00:57:50.040 --> 00:57:54.680 Rules exist and nature obeys them. They are set from the foundation of the world, which 00:57:54.680 --> 00:58:00.540 we recently have also learned to meddle with and derange, like viruses and gain-of-function 00:58:00.540 --> 00:58:03.480 research and the origins of COVID. 00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:08.880 The opposite, perhaps, of the all-encompassing embrace of everything is allowable are the 00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:15.480 immutable laws set in place which we are constrained to, like time, gravity and death. 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:21.000 Authoritarianism, like cultural Marxism, is at odds with our founding fathers' constitution 00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:26.600 of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, which is a God-ordained decree, immutable 00:58:26.600 --> 00:58:32.960 and self-evident echoing Martin Luther's famous speech from the Emancipation Proclamation. 00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:38.800 Like gain-of-function research and authoritarianism, these are set at odds with their counterpart 00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:42.120 and are to be resisted with your life. 00:58:42.120 --> 00:58:46.840 Life demands that fitness be preserved and aims at physical and spiritual health. 00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:53.880 I put it to you that with increasing authoritarianism and draconian legislation aimed at making us 00:58:53.880 --> 00:59:01.000 happier to coexist with everything except everything, have no boundaries and have no morals, I leave 00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:05.360 you with this, have at it or resist and live. 00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:09.380 Until the third Friday of next month, my name's Andrew Murray. 00:59:09.380 --> 00:59:11.840 My name's Sarah Murray. Thank you for listening. 00:59:11.840 --> 00:59:12.340 Thank you. 00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:47.060 [MUSIC]
