WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.760 Welcome to the primitive initiative podcast. I'm fortunate enough to have Dr. Raymond Peat as my guest once again 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:09.040 Today we will be talking about planned obsolescence 00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:13.660 particulate matter the green reset soil Wilhelm Reich 00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:20.880 Social structure digital versus analog reality morality and much much more. Enjoy the show 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.060 Hello everyone, I have Dr. Peat with me once again 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:46.840 Dr. Peat has a PhD in biology from the University of Oregon with specialization in physiology and has taught at several schools in the US 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:47.760 and Mexico 00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:56.280 He started his work with progesterone and related hormones in 1968 in papers in physiological chemistry and physics and in his dissertation 00:00:56.720 --> 00:01:01.720 he outlined his ideas regarding progesterone and the hormones closely related to it as 00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:04.840 protectors of the body structure and energy 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:13.160 Against the harmful effects of estrogen radiation stress and a lack of oxygen his key idea being that energy and structure are 00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:18.160 Interdependent at every level. How are you doing? Dr. Peat? It's good to have you again 00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:28.380 Awesome. Great. If anybody wants Dr. Peat's information even more in depth in part one that we did 00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:33.280 He goes really in depth gives a perfect explanation of his history and how he got here 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.600 So I highly recommend checking that one out 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:42.960 So Dr. Peat once again, I have a few questions for you and I just want you to go wherever you want with them 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:47.240 I love to follow your trail of thought and it always reveals some amazing information 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.880 All right 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.740 Well, actually before we get to the questions 00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:56.560 I want to kind of ask how you're doing there last time we talked you had those fires and everything 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.560 I heard on Patrick Timponi's 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.320 Radio show that they're pretty much cleared now, but but how are things otherwise? 00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:25.960 For a suitable future. I see. Okay. Well, that's good. That's good. I'm glad the rains are there and I 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:32.480 Live in Minnesota. So we got some pretty good snow. I'm pretty pretty close to Canada 00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:36.360 so we usually get it first and it usually goes away last but 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:41.320 Do you think the weather patterns are going to get more and more? 00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:44.800 resembling a mini ice age 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:52.620 the solar experts have been predicting now for 00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:57.120 80 years at least 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.920 It's tending to come back in style paying attention to the Sun cycles 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:09.920 Deforestation of 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:11.960 especially the 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.840 Northwest 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.840 of the United States 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.080 and 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.240 The world in general of burning off the force of the Amazon 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.080 to grow soybeans 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.140 All of that is destabilizing 00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:30.560 the climate 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.320 the absence of great forests 00:03:33.320 --> 00:03:39.280 Just creates an up-and-down situation 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.000 floods clouds 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:48.640 Cold but not 00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:53.480 Everything going through an extreme because the forest we're modifying 00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:56.680 humidity and temperature 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:04.920 Do you think the increased carbon dioxide is actually having a beneficial effect to counteract these things that are being caused by the 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:07.440 deforestation 00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:13.320 Helping to accelerate restoration of vegetation 00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:18.920 They're still cutting for us so fast that things are getting worse 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:28.200 The growth of the forest during the summer the sunny season 00:04:28.200 --> 00:04:30.480 that the 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.080 growing 00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:33.440 infotation 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:36.480 absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.120 by autumn 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:45.520 or the atmosphere there's quite a bit less carbon dioxide than there was in the spring 00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:50.000 During the winter 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.420 Organisms and even the leafless trees 00:04:55.420 --> 00:05:04.200 As well as the conifer forests that still have their leaves during the winter all of these are 00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:09.120 putting out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.960 so by spring 00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:14.520 There's a biological 00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:19.000 Production of higher carbon dioxide 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.800 about five percent every year and 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:27.320 Subtraction of it during the growth season 00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:32.240 The more carbon dioxide we have 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.520 greater growth, and restoration there is during the summer months 00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:45.360 Does having more greenery actually have a cooling effect on the planet by reflecting back that infrared? 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.080 Yeah 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:56.840 Not as much as it is silence, but definitely a reflecting and cooling effect 00:05:56.840 --> 00:06:01.760 When I was working in Halapa 00:06:03.640 --> 00:06:07.720 I had been there 20 or 30 years earlier 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:12.840 The town itself had been very comfortable 00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:19.280 all seasons of the year that the city square for example 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:22.560 was covered with huge old trees 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.600 So the sunlight was 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.560 reflected 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.000 And beer was very moderate 00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:36.200 But when I was working there 20 years ago 00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:41.520 They had deforested the whole city for construction 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:48.400 And as soon as the sun came up in the morning it became stiflingly hot 00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:51.240 I would wear just 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.200 cotton pants 00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:56.400 cotton white shirt 00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:00.280 Had a morning class at the University 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.120 But by the time I got to my class 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:07.240 My shirt was soaked through with sweat 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:14.240 Because of the extreme rise of temperature by nine o'clock in the morning 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:19.240 But if I walked to the outskirts of the town 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.400 just a few blocks 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:28.980 The surrounding forest jungle and coffee plantations and such 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.000 suddenly there was a decrease of temperature of 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.120 must have been 10 or 15 degrees perfectly comfortable 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.120 Where there were still 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.200 surrounding forests 00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:46.040 Yeah, oh, sorry go ahead 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:51.800 No, even a small area you can feel it 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.680 Something that happens within the space of just a block or two 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.640 between a deforested and a forested area 00:08:01.640 --> 00:08:07.640 in the Midwest where they grow corn 00:08:07.640 --> 00:08:10.560 They've noticed that 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.400 downwind 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:14.040 from a city 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.400 the corn production is huge because of the 00:08:17.400 --> 00:08:21.160 heavier rain and lightning storms, which 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.920 produce 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.960 nitrogen fertilizer 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.160 converting atmospheric nitrogen to 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.440 soluble 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.440 water soluble compounds 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:39.040 So there's if you look at the corn production 00:08:39.040 --> 00:08:46.800 There's a roughly circular area downwind from the cities 00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:55.200 Wow, so that's really good to hear because then that's something that's happening even when soils are 00:08:55.760 --> 00:09:00.080 Compromised or or does that get compromised along the way because my understanding is that the soils 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.480 Somewhat either toxic or there's all these pesticides that are mineral binders and stuff like that 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.120 Yeah 00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:32.040 Are now polluted they don't know how long it's going to last it's enduring 00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:37.880 Pollutant of the soil and water in there 00:09:37.880 --> 00:09:40.960 What is the composition of that again? 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.000 tear gas 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.760 Whatever they were using 00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:57.720 Detected this as a soil and water pollutant. I see it seems like with this global warming phenomenon 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.680 That's being pushed everywhere that it I can't help but think that it's propaganda 00:10:02.680 --> 00:10:06.920 It just seems like more ways to control people and pull money out of their pockets 00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:23.440 but tend to agree on because the media of Time magazine and such things 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:26.160 We're talking about becoming ice age 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:31.520 as recently as the late 70s and then 00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:35.840 Just a few months after the three-mile island 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.960 nuclear accident happened 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.080 and the public 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.120 started realizing that 00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.760 nuclear power production was 00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:48.640 dangerous for the health 00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:56.480 Pentagon which uses the fuel to spend fuel from nuclear power 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.000 reactors 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:04.960 To make atomic bombs that they had Pentagon realized that the public sphere of 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.640 nuclear reactors 00:11:07.640 --> 00:11:09.280 would be 00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:12.580 Endangering their ability to keep making atomic bombs 00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:19.560 And shortly after the accident they put out the first big 00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:27.760 pseudo scientific report of the coming planetary warming 00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:32.560 And since then they've been pushing that doctrine 00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:40.160 Yeah, the hypocrisy also seems to be a big red flag. I mean a lot of these people propagating this stuff 00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:47.720 like political figures or celebrity figures have their own private jets and their own methods of consuming copious amounts of 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.200 fossil fuels 00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:12.920 and carbon dioxide 00:12:12.920 --> 00:12:15.680 They really ignore 00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:18.080 what the pollution really consists of 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.440 carcinogenic particles 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:30.600 Polycytes like hydrocarbons for example and thioxins 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:39.720 The real toxins are ignored for the one beneficial ingredient which is carbon dioxide 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.080 but they talk about that because 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.200 nuclear power 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.720 they say 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.720 produces no 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.080 pollution 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:57.060 They say it produces no carbon dioxide, but naturally there's a lot of 00:12:57.060 --> 00:13:00.240 petroleum spent in 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.120 mining and refining 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.320 this stuff 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.000 It's a very 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.000 energy expensive fuel 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.920 The amount of energy you get out of it 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:15.280 probably 00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:17.000 Doesn't 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:23.200 Seriously exceed the amount you put into it that the cost of mining it and preparing it 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:32.640 The health care costs of the people who were poisoned in the process of mining and making it 00:13:32.640 --> 00:13:37.720 So the main benefit or profit for them is making weapons 00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:43.480 Yeah, okay. I always wondered why they would take such large ventures 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:51.120 You know and and commit to that or invest in that if there wasn't some major return, so that makes sense 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.880 What? 00:14:07.640 --> 00:14:11.800 Do you think clean coal is a myth or does that do you think that actually exists? 00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:39.640 chemical processes to 00:14:39.640 --> 00:14:42.160 purify coal smoke 00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:49.560 So do you think that would be a better alternative to the nuclear situation we find ourselves in? 00:15:07.640 --> 00:15:19.880 If they couldn't get people to accept that then they could basically control the economy and what happens to people 00:15:19.880 --> 00:15:29.800 If you look at the crazy things that are being done with that energy 00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:37.400 The transportation systems are designed for inefficiency 00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:44.760 the real transport of streetcars in the city 00:15:44.760 --> 00:15:50.080 and railroads, electric railroads, especially 00:15:50.080 --> 00:16:00.040 are non polluting and minimize the expensive energy for the amount of free coal 00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:07.240 just everywhere you look in the economy 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:20.480 There's unnecessary expensive energy subsidizing the growth of corn to produce diesel alcohol 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:30.320 It is actually it's criminal because of the absolute lack of justification 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:42.920 that it consumes much more energy than you get out of it and pollutes in multiple ways 00:16:42.920 --> 00:16:49.520 Do you think that using regular food wastes to do that would be logical or? 00:16:49.520 --> 00:17:02.320 Sewage, for example, is entirely wasted. Composting could not only produce methane 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:09.720 for the uses where you need concentrated chemical energy 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:17.920 but the process of bacterial action that ends up producing methane 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.920 produces a lot of heat 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:27.920 So if you properly recycle everything that people use 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:33.920 the composts are sufficient to warm houses 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:43.920 with a compost system near or in the basement of houses 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.920 that would produce heat during the winter 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.920 That's great. I mean, the more I look at our situation 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.920 the more it seems inefficiency is pushed just for monetary gain 00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:01.920 while masking it under the guise of efficiency and the way forward 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:12.920 The economy has grown on the basis of advertising 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:21.920 and the media has been controlling the culture 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:31.920 The media powered by the advertising industry shows that even movies 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:40.920 are getting a part of their subsidies by advertising products 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:49.920 Schools have been integrated into the product promotion system 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:57.920 by normalizing the irrational use of goods in general 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.920 but everything on radio, television and newspapers 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:15.920 the sales industries guide the public to consume what they want to sell 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:21.920 None of the guidance comes from people actually seeking products 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:28.920 Good products that have been preferred by the public 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:33.920 have been displaced every 10 or 20 years 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:40.920 People find that their favorite products have disappeared from the world 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:50.920 Things are generally designed intentionally 00:19:50.920 --> 00:20:00.920 to wear out or fail sooner so that more of them can be sold 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:08.920 The man who got the Nobel Prize related to the studies in light 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.920 The reason for his research at General Electric 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:21.920 was to learn how to make a light bulb burn out predictably on schedule 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.920 Urging light mirrors 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:33.920 In the 1950s I had a light bulb that had been made around 1900 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:39.920 I used it for about 10 years and then during a move it was broken 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:46.920 It had worked for decades without burning out 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:54.920 That was a major technological advance to make bulbs burn out 00:20:54.920 --> 00:21:08.920 The latest, the compact fluorescent bulbs, they are a notorious trick on the public 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:13.920 to convince them that they were a long lasting energy saving thing 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:22.920 but they burned out so fast that they cost many times more than even a conventional General Electric 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:30.920 tungsten bulb that gets itself engineered to burn out in a few months 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.920 I think you're referring to that planned obsolescence, right? 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:41.920 The whole economy has integrated that principle 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.920 Aren't those light bulbs also full of mercury, some sort of mercury vapor? 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:57.920 Oh yeah, the whole principle was some kind of a conspiracy between the industry and government 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:01.920 that the government foisted them on the public 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.920 I love how they're called the green option 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:10.920 It just seems like the most complete backwards thing 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.920 So talking about pollutants and stuff like that 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.920 I know you have a really good article, I think it's called "Particles in Context" 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.920 What does it mean for our food that so much of this is in the environment? 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:28.920 What's happening to the soil? What's happening to the food as a result of these pollutants? 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:36.920 Particulate pollution? 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:39.920 Anything that would end up falling on the soil 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.920 I don't know which one would matter more if it's larger particles or smaller particles 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.920 But I know that the soil has its own life cycle 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.920 There's so many aspects to it from minerals getting converted to various forms 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:54.920 and fungi and bacteria 00:22:54.920 --> 00:23:00.920 It just seems like a whole world and there's just so much going against it, it seems 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:18.920 Pesticides have spread everywhere, the ice in Antarctica, mother's milk contains all of the popular pesticides 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:30.920 that are spread into the urine, put in food, the smoke from burning forests 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:39.920 the fires that were created by mismanagement and deforestation 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:47.920 Those pollutants have entered the soil under food 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:59.920 Still there is asbestos in city dust from the break linings 00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:11.920 You can still find the particles in high traffic areas getting into the air, entering the lungs 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:26.920 Weren't those all kinds of silica, even fine sand particles, those are carcinogenic and dust in general 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:38.920 When you have fluctuations, extreme dryness and winds, then you get dustier air 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:50.920 That includes the chemical toxins that have settled smoke components, industrial waste and pesticides 00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:58.920 and natural silica dust, all of those particles are carcinogenic, and brain toxic 00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:05.920 liver and kidney toxic damage the search electory system 00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:19.920 So the weather destabilization is stirring up all of the pollutants 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:26.920 So if somebody says "I love the environment, I want to stand up for protecting it" 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.920 and they think the right way to go is to protest against carbon dioxide and do whatever the government tells them to 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:38.920 to help preserve the environment, what do you think they should really be doing if they want to be a person who is conscious of this? 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:51.920 I start thinking about what, for example, the World Economic Forum is telling us we should do 00:25:51.920 --> 00:26:01.920 The reason Greta Thunberg became famous was that she was recruited by the World Economic Forum 00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:11.920 to basically campaign for their program for the future 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:34.920 Green is a camouflage for these new industry forces that want to shift to atomic energy under the guise of green wash 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:45.920 and shift everything to a digital controllable from above economy 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:58.920 If you look at the purposes and programs of the World Economic Forum, you can find out everything that we shouldn't be doing 00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:06.920 I like that, so use that information and follow the opposite 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:14.920 Going back to soil, there's been some people who are very vocal about acid rain, sulfuric acid, nitric acid 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:19.920 stuff like that falling from smokestacks and stuff like that 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:31.920 But do you think, and the claim is, that this is in some way compromising the bacteria, which then make it so the minerals that are taken up into the plants 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:36.920 are no longer what they deem to be organic or carbon bonded 00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:43.920 For a lack of food, the plant has no option now but to take up these inorganic minerals 00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.920 Is there any reality to this? 00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:50.920 Yeah, I think there is some 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:55.920 There was a thing about carbon dioxide a couple years ago 00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:01.920 I forget how far it was, but it was highly publicized 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:30.920 It was another anti-CO2 idea, but CO2 dissolved in rain is actually one of the solvent-fertarian minerals from the natural mineral composition of the soil 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:35.920 carrying it in solution into the roots of plants 00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.920 Fungus and bacteria are involved 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:52.920 but the atmospheric carbon dioxide carried into the soil is an actual important factor in providing food to the plants 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.920 That's carbonic acid, right? Or is it something else? 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:06.920 Okay, so then that would be kind of the same way that minerals end up in spring water and stuff like that, right? 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:15.920 Would it be a big deal for inorganic minerals to end up in food if somebody has good thyroid function and their stomach acid is fine 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:23.920 They would still be able to utilize those minerals even if it's not in the ideal form, or what do you think about that? 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:32.920 Oh, you know, some minerals, your stomach acid will do a good job on them 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:47.920 But if they're not in organisms and get into your stomach, you have to worry about the toxic things that are associated with them 00:29:47.920 --> 00:30:00.920 For example, I don't think it's a good idea to eat clay or zeolite or any of the mineral products that are straight from the soil 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:13.920 There are lots of places selling what they call ancient minerals from seabed or lake beds 00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:21.920 Basically, it's just dirt full of all kinds of heavy metals 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:34.920 They say contains 92 minerals, 92 elements, that just means basically dirt 00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:40.920 Yeah, I've seen one of those. One of the most famous is I believe it's called constant trace 00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:44.920 And they claim to be from I think the Great Salt Lake or something like that 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:50.920 And I think they're in the chloride form, like majority magnesium chloride with I think sodium removed 00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:55.920 So you wouldn't suggest that as like a water remineralizer or anything like that? 00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:06.920 No, if you get magnesium from seawater, the process of crystallizing it purifies it quite a bit 00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:18.920 And from some mineral springs, the minerals have been filtered and processed chemically 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:32.920 So they're relatively pure, low content of cadmium, mercury, arsenic, uranium and so on 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:44.920 But each plant or animal that the mineral passes through before you eat it, the safer it is 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:59.920 Because if you eat one of those crude mineral products, your stomach is going to select a little bit 00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:08.920 There will be a slight purification, but you'll absorb very dangerous amounts of heavy metals 00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:21.920 If it's a crude mineral, or if it has passed through even a simple fast-growing plant, there will be a great refining 00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:31.920 So that even isotopes of the same element are slightly refined by being processed through plants 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:50.920 And if you have another layer of filtration, for example, a cow eating the plants, the flesh of the cow is going to have a safer balance of minerals than even the plant has 00:32:50.920 --> 00:33:08.920 And the milk of the cow is another level of filtration, where the nutrients were purified before they constructed the cow 00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:24.920 But after the cow is constructed, then the nutrients are further purified as they form the milk, going into the bloodstream and being filtered through the mammary gland 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:43.920 There are layers of purification, so all things being equal, milk is our cleanest food possible because of these layers of filtration 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:53.920 Yeah, totally. I tell people that milk is my green juice because they like to say, "Oh, well, you don't eat any greens" 00:33:53.920 --> 00:34:00.920 I'm like, "Well, I'd like to think that the cow does that work for me, and a lot of the same nutrients end up in the milk itself" 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:18.920 When it comes to milk and its processing, Georgie Dinkoff, who you speak with, with Danny Roddy, he mentioned that the ultra-filtration of milk causes a considerable amount of the magnesium to be lost 00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:20.920 Do you think that's an issue? 00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:24.920 The ultra-pasteurization? 00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:30.920 He said filtration. Well, I don't know if that would be the same processing method? 00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:59.920 I don't know why anyone would put it through an ultra-filter. I think it must meant ultra-pasteurization. Pasteurizing does precipitate a small amount of mineral, and the heavier the pasteurization, the more of the mineral would be deposited on the machinery 00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:05.920 Would they end up in the milk as carbonates or oxides or something like that? 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:22.920 No, just whatever sticks to the machinery that you get is calcium, magnesium, film forming on the heating machinery, and that small amount is lost from the milk 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:37.920 I see. Yeah, I have seen the word filtration written on some of the milk here in the grocery store, so I don't know why they would filter it. Maybe it's because some things end up in the milk and they have to filter it out after processing 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:54.920 Possibly some people are afraid of the cell content of milk, that there are actual living cells in living milk, and those are killed in ordinary pasteurization 00:35:54.920 --> 00:36:13.920 But they would still be floating around in the milk, and if people don't like the idea of dead cells floating around for some reason, maybe they think filtering out the cells is an improvement 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:30.920 But naturally that would take selective higher amount of magnesium than calcium, because cells do concentrate magnesium. It's a very small amount 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:42.920 Oh, interesting. So you're saying that the bacteria or the organisms killed have magnesium inside of the cell, and when that's filtered, that can cause some minute decrease in magnesium levels 00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:55.920 Yeah, there are quite a few cow cells in the milk naturally, not just bacteria, but also cells of the cow 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:10.920 Oh, okay, wow, I never considered that, that's great. Talking about milk and milk products, I eat a decent amount of Greek yogurt, it's strained, has less lactic acid, I think I've seen you suggest that at some point 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:22.920 But there's also been some debate as to whether the bacteria in these fermentation processes actually makes it down into the gut, or just gets killed in the stomach acid 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:28.920 Is that something that we should be concerned about, or is yogurt and its bacteria content in terms of like 00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:49.920 Oh yeah, it sounds that even if all of the bacteria in living yogurt, if all of them are killed by the acid, which is usually the case, the dead bacteria are still having an anti-inflammatory effect in your intestine 00:37:49.920 --> 00:38:15.920 The substance of the bacterial skeleton, it contains things with an anti-inflammatory effect, so that the bacteria itself, even dead, it's maybe even better than living bacteria that could produce lactic acid in your intestine 00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.920 Because too much lactic acid in your intestine puts your burden on your liver 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:50.920 And bacteria produce racemic, randomized lactic acid molecule, which is in the long run much more toxic, even than the proper kind of lactate that we make ourselves 00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:59.920 The kind we make ourselves is a signal that can have very harmful effects if it gets out of control 00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:17.920 If you take too much of even the natural form of the lactate, it will still put a burden on your liver and consume stored lactic acid, so it can give you low blood sugar 00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:29.920 But the bacterial form of lactate is metabolized similarly to glycerin 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:49.920 And part of the damage produced by stress is the glycerin molecule that forms triglycerides, when you liberate free fatty acids, you also liberate the glycerin molecule 00:39:49.920 --> 00:40:13.920 And bacterial racemic, lactic acid, and glycerin are metabolized, producing a methyl glyoxal, which is a very toxic, age accelerating compound 00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:24.920 A very reactive, molecule damaging form of lactic acid derivative 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.920 So we could avoid that by avoiding the improper oxidation of fuel? 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:41.920 Yeah, avoiding formation of a significant amount of bacterial lactic acid in your intestine 00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:50.920 I see. So when it comes to yogurt, it's not so much the bacteria in there, but the lactic acid byproduct that would cause the issues 00:40:50.920 --> 00:41:15.920 Yeah, so if you don't feed it with a high starch diet, for example, if you're slow to digest food yourself, then it feeds bacteria, and hard to digest starches are major sources of fuel for bacteria 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:33.920 And several of their metabolic breakdown products of the starches are toxic enough to produce emotional behavioral problems in test animals, undoubtedly the same in humans 00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:44.920 There's a lot of people right now using resistant starch or even raw starch to help feed what they claim to be the supportive bacteria in the colon 00:41:44.920 --> 00:42:00.920 And if you look at the studies, the behavioral effects are mediated through the increase of serotonin effects in the brain 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:26.920 And the behavioral effects include fear and regression both in the animal test and the fiber which is digestible by bacteria that resist digestion by our enzymes 00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:40.920 Those are the starches or starch-like molecules that cause those toxic byproducts 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:51.920 These people report having relief from psoriasis-like symptoms, and I know you said that polyunsaturated fats can also have a temporary anti-inflammatory response with long-term harm 00:42:51.920 --> 00:43:07.920 Do you think something like that is happening from the serotonin? Is there any possible way that it's being anti-inflammatory temporarily? 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:24.920 I'm going back to purification of substances and toxicity. I'm a fan of distilled water. I have a VOC vent and a carbon filter afterwards to get possibly some of the VOCs 00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:39.920 I saw your quote that you were saying that distilled water is generally fine to drink. It's just some of the bad things attributed to it is because with areas of high rainfall, it dilutes the minerals to where maybe the plants aren't as nutritious and they have more cloud cover 00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:44.920 So they probably have lower vitamin D levels. Do you still agree with that statement? 00:43:44.920 --> 00:44:08.920 It's best to get a large part of your water needs through your foods such as milk and fruit juice. If you're in a hot climate and have to drink water, distilled water is fine as long as your diet contains minerals 00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:25.920 When it comes to spring water, I know a lot of people drink spring water and well water. Because of this acid rain, do you think it's more dangerous to drink those because of the excess leaching of minerals and other things that might be leaching? 00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:37.920 I think it's important to look at the mineral analysis of every type of spring water that you consider using regularly 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.920 Is there a disadvantage to having high hardness in the water or high mineral count? 00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:50.920 Arsenic and cadmium are the two most dangerous minerals 00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:58.920 What if it's a majority of calcium and magnesium and that kind of makes up the hardness? Would that be helpful? 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:22.920 To some extent, you cannot compete against the toxins by having a lot of the safer ones. For example, if you have a high sink intake that protects you somewhat against cadmium pollution 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:33.920 and calcium that protects against strontium and lead, for example 00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:52.920 I think the Hanza people have the Hanza water, which looks like milk. It's so rich in minerals that the water looks milky. They claim to drink that and attribute that to their good health 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.920 I think that's supposed to be extremely high in magnesium 00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:12.920 Let's see. That's good to know. Do you know, speaking of water, that seems to be a natural form of magnetic, I don't know if I'd call it pollution 00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:24.920 but a magnetic phenomenon, the geopathic stress, and there seems to be some tests that they did in Germany that showed that just moving people's beds could either help prevent their cancer or reverse it 00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:28.920 Do you think there's these phenomenon under the earth that are affecting people? 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:53.920 Yeah, there are some places that have definitely odd fields, deposits under the earth, but I think the idea of it being a general planetary problem 00:46:53.920 --> 00:47:00.920 I doubt that. I think it's just a few special areas 00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:11.920 Wilhelm Reich seemed to do some research in these fields and he claimed to have created cloudbusters and talked about organ energy and organ accumulators 00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:14.920 Do you have any insights on him and his work? 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:31.920 Yeah, I've read all of his things, and the matter of his writing in general, I started reading him in the '50s when he was in prison, in fact 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:50.920 and my psychology professor didn't mention that even though we were comparing Reich and Freud's underwritings, oddly my professor seemed to be totally unaware of him 00:47:50.920 --> 00:48:01.920 He was currently in prison, but from that time on I read I think all of his books 00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:15.920 and since he had generally the right picture of how organisms work, he borrowed many of his best ideas 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:28.920 but I think he also had some very mistaken ideas about the nature of radiation, for example 00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:32.920 Do you mind going into that a little bit? 00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:48.920 For example, one of his paintings illustrated light around a glowing object 00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:59.920 and he didn't realize that this halo effect that people see around an object occurs in the eye 00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:14.920 He believed there was something actually occurring around the object, but by changing the properties of your eye, you change that glow effect 00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:24.920 So he was very ignorant of things like objects 00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:29.920 I see, so you thought people had this visible aura around them 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:39.920 Yeah, it didn't separate what happens in your perception apparatus from what is out there in space 00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:47.920 Do you think these cloud busters that he used to help promote rainfall and stuff were legitimate? 00:49:47.920 --> 00:50:03.920 I don't discount the possibilities that they could work, but I don't think the principles he used to explain them were valid 00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.920 Why do you think was the main reason that they ended up putting him in jail? 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:23.920 Oh, definitely, his writings against fascism, that the FDA was a persecutor of the Food and Drug Administration 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:48.920 and they said he was selling a cancer-treating device, and anyone who combines a political, anti-fascist message with questioning of the cancer pharmaceutical establishment 00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:54.920 that basically condemns themselves 00:50:54.920 --> 00:51:01.920 I see. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, especially today, you get to see all that playing out in front of you 00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:04.920 The FDA had all of his books burned 00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:12.920 It's a horrible story, I remember reading it and watching it 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:19.920 Do you think magnetic therapy has any merit to it? I know people try to use magnets to bring blood flow to regions of their body 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:21.920 Do you know anything about magnetic therapy? 00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:32.920 Yeah, I wrote a book about it, and politics got involved 00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:44.920 I forget what the guy's name was that agreed to publish it, and then I think he and his partner decided not to publish it 00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:54.920 But I had reviewed the studies of biological sensitivity 00:51:54.920 --> 00:52:09.920 And I had in fact gone to Moscow to talk to Yuri Holodov, who was studying the effects of weak magnetic fields 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:22.920 on brain and bone adult cells, and that was before I started studying reproductive physiology 00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:45.920 So I was oriented through the bio magnetism ideas in my approach to how to look at biological energy, especially in the reproductive system and brain 00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:57.920 The very weak fields do influence our nerves and hormone-producing cells very strongly 00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:05.920 Do you have any, well first of all do you plan on releasing any of that information as a book still, or as an article? 00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:20.920 No, I think there's enough already in print, I was just bringing some of it together 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:28.920 Do you have anything that you personally use or recommend for somebody who might be looking to utilize that technology? 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:35.920 No, I never came up with anything that I thought was useful 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:54.920 In one of my first research projects in the lab at the university, I was studying the latent latency in nerve stimulation and reaction of crab nerves 00:53:54.920 --> 00:54:07.920 And I found that putting a strong permanent magnet near the nerve increased its latency or stabilized it 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:23.920 And right around that same time at NASA, they were finding that putting a strong permanent field perpendicular to the base of the brain 00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:39.920 At the upper part of the neck, that they could affect consciousness, effectively slowing down or blocking the communication between the brain and the spinal cord 00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:52.920 Even though you can see the effects and potential harm, so far I haven't seen anything that was convincingly therapeutic 00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:58.920 That's why I lost interest in publishing it 00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:10.920 So people sometimes report relief of arthritis type symptoms by, well I know copper isn't necessarily, it's not magnetic, but from copper, wearing copper and also magnets 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:20.920 What do you think? Wearing copper, definitely copper is absorbable through the skin 00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:33.920 For example, just painted some copper sulfate onto an animal's skin and then taken a blood sample and found that it had high copper content of the blood 00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:42.920 So if you wear a bracelet for example and it turns your skin green, that means you're absorbing copper 00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:59.920 And copper is needed for respiratory energy and for forming the elastin molecule that makes your tissues resilient, blood vessels, stretchiness and so on 00:55:59.920 --> 00:56:03.920 So wearing copper is absorbable through the skin? 00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:31.920 Definitely. Are there any other things that might be? I know I wear silver jewelry, is that having any benefit or disadvantage? 00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:38.920 But wearing it on the skin as a ring or a necklace should be fine, or is it potentially toxic? 00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:46.920 It's something I avoid for myself, but I don't think it's enough to worry about 00:56:46.920 --> 00:57:00.920 A lot of people started using colloidal silver or ionic silver during this time, well I don't really agree with the premise of it, but what do you think about using that short term? 00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:10.920 Oh, maybe for something like disinfecting a swimming pool, where copper used to be the thing 00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:18.920 People didn't need chlorine in their pool, so they just put a little copper sulfate in the water 00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:24.920 And that was good for your skin, as well as keeping the organisms down 00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:38.920 Silver can do the same disinfecting job, but colloidal silver I don't think is safe except in the very smallest occasional amounts 00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:51.920 I make my own, but I use it only externally, and I found it to be of great relief when I mix it with a pregnenolone cream and put it on burns 00:57:51.920 --> 00:58:04.920 Or I had wild parsnip which caused chemical burns from phytophotodermatitis, and I also found that that really helped the silver mixed with the pregnenolone 00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:09.920 It definitely protects against injection 00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:17.920 Do you think it's doing something to relieve the burn? Because it was like a night and day difference for me when I put on the silver 00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:20.920 I don't know about that 00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:33.920 It was funny because I told my father-in-law that I had been doing that, and he said yes, I also have a conventionally produced at the pharmacy's silver cream that he would use for burns 00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:36.920 And I didn't even know that existed 00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:45.920 I think it's standard explanation is that it's anti-infective 00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:50.920 Okay, maybe I had a small infection going on 00:58:50.920 --> 00:59:01.920 Going back to magnetism and EMF, I observed some of our pets in various homes, like cats, that will go and sleep close to the wifi router 00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:11.920 That kind of makes me curious, do these animals not understand this threat? Can they not perceive this threat? Do they not have some better senses than us? 00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:24.920 Yeah, I've noticed, for example, our cat always cringed when we turned on the induction hot plate 00:59:24.920 --> 00:59:44.920 And looked at it like it was an alien invader, gave it a white bird 00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:53.920 I've also noticed that ants sometimes congregate around an electrical outlet, even when it can't be a source of warmth, there's something there attractive 00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:55.920 Interesting 00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:02.920 Yeah, I definitely believe in the negative effects of EMF, but it was always strange to me how sometimes animals would be attracted to it 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:08.920 Maybe they're getting addicted to it or something, I don't know 01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:14.920 Okay, well, that's good to know about magnetic therapy, I've been really curious about that 01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:25.920 I kind of wanted to ask you, with everything going on right now, what is your definition or view of the way society should run 01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:31.920 I know this is a big question, but a lot of people are trying to propose their own, of course we have the left and the right 01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:41.920 But how do you think society should be ruled, or should there even be a ruler, should we be small communities, and how far does authoritarianism either go or don't go 01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:43.920 It doesn't go 01:00:43.920 --> 01:01:09.920 Authoritarianism has been on the rampage for over 100 years, it's multiplying insanely, if you read a significant amount of Klaus Schwab's writings, the founder of the World Economic Forum 01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:26.920 You can see that he's basically totally deranged with a worship of power that can come from artificial intelligence 01:01:26.920 --> 01:01:51.920 And the left-right opposition has pretty much lost its meaning because of this takeover of the language by the insane authoritarians 01:01:51.920 --> 01:02:20.920 The whole digital culture, it's their dream scheme to enslave people, get them involved and committed to the very basis for thinking about the future 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:41.920 You have to back up and realize that the quantization of reality, the digitalization of our culture, in every sense, the attitude towards communication and information 01:02:41.920 --> 01:03:07.920 You have to back up, and for example, I think in information theory, the last evidence of good biological thinking was in the founder of cybernetics, Norbert Wiener 01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:15.920 He had this parallel in Russia, in the Pavlovian tradition 01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:28.920 And P.K. and Mokan created the same ideas that Norbert Wiener did, and about how control processes work 01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:53.920 Norbert Wiener saw a reality in analog terms, and pointed out that people were in control at every stage of a cybernetic system as long as it was thought out in analog terms 01:03:53.920 --> 01:04:12.920 Anivar Push was singing along the same lines, but he became a government official and began combining digital processes with his analog computing systems 01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:34.920 And Norbert Wiener's approach by the early 1950s had been cut out of the culture by the force of government grants and pressures against that way of thinking 01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:54.920 So that the government, in obedience to these financial powers, created the belief that reality is digital and quantized 01:04:54.920 --> 01:05:18.920 And once you're committed to that view, then the whole Google technocracy system, that reasoning seems to make sense 01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:40.920 But once you realize that it's an ideological propaganda imposition, write a key, the brain process of how we describe reality and our understanding of reality 01:05:40.920 --> 01:06:03.920 You have to back up and try to start thinking as an animal, and then you see the polarity is between life processes and industry-controlled information processes 01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:13.920 And once you accept their terms, you're under their control 01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:42.920 They simply own all of the systems. Google, all of the technology, Wikipedia, social media, all of these are being censored and controlled from the top down 01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:58.920 So you have to back up and start thinking in terms of living organisms who live in connection with and on the basis of the Earth processes 01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:15.920 And so you have to start thinking of life processes depending on ecosystems and the Earth, not on information systems 01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:40.920 And in that situation, you see that what used to be the right-wing corporate aligned system and the left-wing common worker interest 01:07:40.920 --> 01:08:09.920 Every living being now has to be thought of as a member of life process with what used to be the right-wing as a taking of the simple role of manipulator and attempt to control the world 01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:21.920 So just to summarize, just so I know that I got this somewhat right, so you're saying there is basically a parallel reality that has been formed by these technocratic authoritarians 01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:30.920 And they've kind of hijacked our more natural instincts and just our zest for life and being as communities just like animals are 01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:40.920 And they've presented this quantized view of reality that we have all started succumbing to and therefore everyone's vision is now at the same place 01:08:40.920 --> 01:09:03.920 And they, for example, are calling the Democratic Party the left-wingers. They're humanistic people in both parties, but they don't subscribe to the fascist rules 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:20.920 The leadership of both Republican and Democratic parties are subscribed to the rules of fascism, the digital culture explanation 01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:33.920 I see. Okay, that makes sense. So let's say people want to eject out of this reality and I guess some have to be somewhat plugged in to rescue the others 01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:48.920 But what would be a new paradigm that we could set up? Would we just go back to living as smaller communities and trading, coming up with our own monetary system being as self-reliant as possible? 01:09:48.920 --> 01:09:52.920 Would that be the way forward out of this fabricated reality? 01:09:52.920 --> 01:10:17.920 Yeah, yeah. Direct, avoiding money where possible, but using direct money, avoiding banks and the various electronic money systems, direct interactions on all levels as far as possible 01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:31.920 And working our way out of these increasingly artificial intelligence-controlled systems 01:10:31.920 --> 01:10:41.920 I think we should even avoid, wherever possible, doing business over the internet 01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:57.920 When you call a corporation, increasingly we're being put on hold and then answered by someone who doesn't know what they're doing 01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:17.920 Nothing seems to be directly operated by living intelligent beings anymore. Everything is operated by blind algorithms, control systems 01:11:17.920 --> 01:11:24.920 It seems that for their fabricated reality to go on, they really need this 5G to take off 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:37.920 Yeah, that's the catalyst for the last stage, or the death phase of the culture 01:11:37.920 --> 01:11:43.920 Scary stuff, yeah. I'm really trying to inform people about the dangers of that at least 01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:48.920 I'm trying to find some avenue to get through to people with and hopefully they can connect the dots themselves 01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:55.920 Believe it or not, even telling people about the planned obsolescence of items somewhat wakes them up 01:11:55.920 --> 01:12:10.920 So, in terms of morality, because morality is going to come into the equation, I believe, at some point, even if we become these independent individuals who work in communities 01:12:10.920 --> 01:12:17.920 Where do you think the basis of morality comes from, or where should it come from? What is the criteria that we can judge morality by? 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:39.920 In my teens, I read a cozier of the anarchist who was a biologist 01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:53.920 He demonstrated cooperation rather than competition was the basic rule in the whole world of organisms 01:12:53.920 --> 01:13:05.920 Cooperation comes first, and competition is a minor factor in biological reality 01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:14.920 And I think that really is where our morality comes from 01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:28.920 On the internet, you can find examples of squirrels or other organisms acting with altruism 01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:35.920 between heroic things to save their fellow organisms 01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:44.920 And that's, when I say, referring to a biological manner of thinking 01:13:44.920 --> 01:14:09.920 The analog reality is also the moral reality, a world of Christian ideals are basically biologically affirming principles of concern for others 01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:19.920 All of the great moralities and religious systems are biologically logical systems 01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:36.920 Capitalism invented the idea of survival of the fittest, and competition for improvement, and meritocracy, and so on 01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:49.920 And that's actually what they mean, money-based merit, the Trump mentality basically 01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:56.920 Human values is kind of in billions or billions of dollars 01:14:56.920 --> 01:15:09.920 Yeah, I personally am a believer in the Abrahamic religions, and that's partially what had woken me up in what you just said to the more analog, biologically compatible view of what life is 01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:17.920 But what do you think was the origin of this spirituality, these morals that came about for people 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:28.920 Is it indicative of a greater being that gave this to us, almost like he knew that this was appropriate, or do you think it was created by the needs of the people by themselves 01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:33.920 Because they saw a need for some altruistic belief system 01:15:33.920 --> 01:15:52.920 Yeah, you can see it operating like Kropotkin did, if you study communities of living organisms at every level, you can see cooperation 01:15:52.920 --> 01:16:03.920 Fish, birds, small mammals, big mammals, all living beings show these properties 01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:17.920 And I think it's a universal principle that exists in atoms 01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:28.920 The digital culture has taught us that every atom of an element is the same as every other atom 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:37.920 It has no history, it's simply an irreducible unit 01:16:37.920 --> 01:17:02.920 But if you look from the analog point of view, another researcher who reached cosmic ideas by studying the soil and chemistry, Bernanski 01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:08.920 He described an organism as a foral wind of atoms 01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:16.920 And if you view it that way, each atom has its place in the foral wind 01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:21.920 And so each atom has a history 01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:29.920 And this atom doesn't have the same history as the other atom 01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:41.920 And old chemistry classes used to speak of nascent oxygen, newly formed oxygen 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:48.920 And its chemical reactivity as being radically different from old oxygen 01:17:48.920 --> 01:18:05.920 And that has been discarded from the textbooks because it didn't go with the digital thinking in which every atom is simply out of time 01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:24.920 An immortal being, except when nuclear fission happens, and that is not anything intrinsic to the being, but simply a numerical mystery 01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:47.920 So I think ultimately the ability of each atom to resonate and relate to its surroundings in a unique way depending on where in the foral wind it is 01:18:47.920 --> 01:19:14.920 Bertrand Russell, who did a lot for the digital way of doing logic, recognized that we have a basic choice of seeing whether every bit of the world at every atom or every person or organism 01:19:14.920 --> 01:19:25.920 is definable in relation to its surroundings, where it is in the foral wind of life 01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:32.920 Every moment is different because of its surroundings 01:19:32.920 --> 01:19:40.920 And your history is changing constantly as you add new things to your history 01:19:40.920 --> 01:19:49.920 So every being is unique in its time and place 01:19:49.920 --> 01:20:03.920 And you can see that as a resonance of its being, which is taking its definition from its surroundings 01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:22.920 And you have actual, for example, electronic affinity is different depending on what other atoms or beings are in its neighborhood 01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:37.920 If you connect a string of carbon atoms, each atom has a different reactivity electronically depending on where in the chain it is 01:20:37.920 --> 01:20:47.920 And if you add an oxygen to the chain, that changes the reactivity of carbons farther down the line 01:20:47.920 --> 01:21:07.920 And if you introduce a carbon dioxide molecule into the vicinity, that suddenly affects the reactivity of all of the electron groups and properties of every atom in its vicinity 01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:26.920 So that kind of electronic interaction, affinity and attraction or repulsion, that resonance or energetic interaction with its surroundings 01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:38.920 That gives a shaping influence, a personality and individuality to every part of existence 01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:55.920 So starting from atoms and molecules and working your way up, you see that these interactive, essentially cooperative processes are universal 01:21:55.920 --> 01:22:01.920 They're the basic rule of construction of the world 01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:09.920 That's great, sounds very purposeful, I think that's a good way to describe that 01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:14.920 I just want to take a quick break, remind people that they're listening to the Primitive Initiative Podcast 01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:17.920 And I have Dr. Ray Peat here with me as my guest 01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:31.920 You can find his articles on www.raypeat.com, you can also sign up for his bimonthly newsletter at raypeatsnewsletter@gmail.com 01:22:31.920 --> 01:22:35.920 And you can also request his books from there in digital format 01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:45.920 So Dr. Peat, that was an amazing summary of that, so would you say then that those things kind of operate similarly to the bystander effect 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:51.920 Where it's like just being in things vicinity, they don't have to be touching, they can just be around each other 01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:56.920 And there's this large influence over every organism, even if they're not close 01:22:56.920 --> 01:23:12.920 In the 1930s, in the early 1940s, everyone in biology recognized the bystander effect in different forms 01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:21.920 They called it the field, the developmental field, for example 01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:37.920 And psychologists, physicists, tumor researchers recognized that there was a cancer field 01:23:37.920 --> 01:23:44.920 That there were creations in the organism surrounding the cancer 01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:50.920 But the digital people wiped that out entirely 01:23:50.920 --> 01:24:07.920 The Gestalt psychology disappeared in the 50s, the field thinking in embryology and developmental biology in general, especially in the understanding of cancer 01:24:07.920 --> 01:24:18.920 Cancer became a digital event, a specific mutation in a specific gene or multiple genes 01:24:18.920 --> 01:24:27.920 Making a single cell absolutely unique and different and cancerous 01:24:27.920 --> 01:24:38.920 But the neighboring cell had nothing to do with it because it was an intrinsic event in the DNA only 01:24:38.920 --> 01:24:47.920 That became an insane dogma that led to the insane war on cancer 01:24:47.920 --> 01:25:02.920 Based on the idea of a mutant gene or in the absence of an intrinsic gene that then became a virus 01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:15.920 And for ten years they insisted that there was either an oncogene or an oncogenic virus integrated into the genes 01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:24.920 It had to be on the genetic level because that's where digital reality exists for these people 01:25:24.920 --> 01:25:33.920 And they insisted that the genes controlled the cell and therefore the organism 01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:44.920 And that's where their digital reality impinged on and destroyed science 01:25:44.920 --> 01:25:54.920 That the idea that a gene controls the organism was the same basic idea that Klaus Schwab has now 01:25:54.920 --> 01:26:02.920 That artificial intelligence will control the world life process 01:26:02.920 --> 01:26:12.920 So speaking of these analog and digital realities, certain creationists dismiss evolution completely 01:26:12.920 --> 01:26:17.920 And certain evolution proponents dismiss creationism completely 01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:26.920 Where do you view their conjoining points? Do they have some similar ground that they can agree on somewhere? 01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:37.920 William Jennings Bryan, the presidential candidate who was humiliated in the Scopes trial 01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:48.920 He was a creationist and a Bible literalist who they made fun of in the trial 01:26:48.920 --> 01:26:59.920 He was actually anti-eugenics. He was talking about the evil that these people were doing 01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:07.920 That genes control everything and therefore there's a hierarchy of beings 01:27:07.920 --> 01:27:18.920 English aristocracy down to apes, and everyone had their place in between 01:27:18.920 --> 01:27:24.920 And four people were just above apes, for example 01:27:24.920 --> 01:27:39.920 And William Jennings Bryan was defending humanity and life itself against this fascist eugenics doctrine 01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:50.920 But he really did because he tried to explain everything in strictly biblical terms 01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:54.920 But he was basically on the right side 01:27:54.920 --> 01:28:08.920 So in the graduate school, all of my professors were extreme genetics apologists 01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:18.920 And that is essentially committed to a eugenics understanding of reality, which led quite a few of them 01:28:18.920 --> 01:28:28.920 The outstanding personalities in the Molecular Biology Institute, for example 01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:46.920 were admirers or worshippers of Conrad Lorenz, who was the ideological expert 01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:59.920 who pleased the explicit details of eugenics for Hitler, and Conrad Lorenz won the Nobel Prize 01:28:59.920 --> 01:29:20.920 in training Hitler's doctrine to the very end of his principles of eugenics and determinism of all life processes 01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:28.920 So in terms of everything, I believe they think most of the things that are happening genetically are random 01:29:28.920 --> 01:29:32.920 But then they also say that the environment has a part in it 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:37.920 So are they contradicting themselves, or what are they trying to do? 01:29:37.920 --> 01:29:48.920 They've been forced by reality to say, "Well, yes, there is an environment, and yes, maybe we're forced to say that it has an effect on us 01:29:48.920 --> 01:30:12.920 But in fairly recent times, I've talked to lots of doctors and professors who said, for example, that the health of a pregnant woman has no effect whatsoever on her baby's outcome 01:30:12.920 --> 01:30:21.920 Absolutely contradicting the human experience as well as all of the animal research 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:30.920 The developing brain is absolutely shaped by others' health and experiences 01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:42.920 And so that principle is still being applied by doctors who insist on vaccinating their pregnant patients during pregnancy 01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:51.920 A criminal act which is officially confirmed by World Health Organization and CDC 01:30:51.920 --> 01:30:57.920 I think they were even calling for testing the COVID vaccine on pregnant women 01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:03.920 Yeah, that's a crime against humanity, they even proposed it 01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:30.920 Almost, if they hadn't been paying attention to this up until then 01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:35.920 No, right down in the last week, it makes a difference 01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:44.920 The brain should be developing new brain cells the whole last trimester 01:31:44.920 --> 01:31:54.920 But in fact, there are more brain cells than the average baby that six months of development than at birth 01:31:54.920 --> 01:32:06.920 because they just aren't getting enough sugar and protein and progesterone to support the growth and maturation of these cells 01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:22.920 So the potential cortical cells that should be complexifying the cortex of the brain, they're dying out during the last trimester 01:32:22.920 --> 01:32:24.920 when they shouldn't be maturing 01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:28.920 So it's almost never too late to get proper nutrition 01:32:28.920 --> 01:32:43.920 Yeah, even at birth, if the baby is premature and you make sure they get breast milk and a progesterone supplement through the skin, for example, or through the mother 01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:53.920 if the mother makes sure her progesterone is good then her breast milk will sustain the baby's premature brain development 01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:59.920 Is it true that babies are born deficient in vitamin D, or is that because mothers are highly deficient? 01:32:59.920 --> 01:33:13.920 The mothers are deficient. They have taken the saying that babies are born deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids 01:33:13.920 --> 01:33:30.920 because they have their own Omega-9 series of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Those are the ones naturally made to sustain proper brain function 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:44.920 As soon as you start eating environmental pollutants such as fish oil or flaxseed oil, those start getting incorporated into the brain 01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:55.920 And since old people have brains full of fish oil, they say that the babies are lacking those as a deficiency 01:33:55.920 --> 01:34:11.920 But I think we should take the newborn brain in the healthy baby as an example of how the brain should continue developing 01:34:11.920 --> 01:34:29.920 When they have supplemented human patients with highly polyunsaturated fatty acids, they were arguing that this should improve learning and brain development 01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:40.920 What they found was that the babies were undersized naturally, restricting their overall growth. It was restricting their brain growth 01:34:40.920 --> 01:34:49.920 So that has been demonstrated not only in rats and dogs, but actually in French human beings 01:34:49.920 --> 01:34:57.920 Adding poofa during pregnancy retards brain development 01:34:57.920 --> 01:35:06.920 So supplementing with these highly unsaturated fatty acids, does the mother not oxidize those herself and it doesn't damage the babies? 01:35:06.920 --> 01:35:16.920 To a great extent, they break down before getting into the blood circulation and reaching the baby 01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:25.920 But to the extent that there is excess taken in, some of it will reach the baby's brain 01:35:25.920 --> 01:35:34.920 The baby is being harmed, but maybe the mother is being harmed even more 01:35:34.920 --> 01:35:44.920 Talking about vitamin D, there's been a large surge concerning vitamin D and how it's toxic and never to be taken 01:35:44.920 --> 01:35:50.920 And it displaces and imbalances many nutrients including magnesium and vitamin A 01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:58.920 I know there's some truth to that, if you overdo anything, you can cause differing levels in other nutrients 01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:04.920 But could you kind of help offer clarity? What's being said is that you only need the active form 01:36:04.920 --> 01:36:07.920 Or not only, but that's what you'd be trying to increase 01:36:07.920 --> 01:36:14.920 And by taking vitamin D supplements, you are increasing your storage form and that doesn't say anything 01:36:14.920 --> 01:36:20.920 Who is saying that? I've been hearing that someone is terribly confused 01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:24.920 His name is Morley Robbins 01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:26.920 What was the last name? 01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:30.920 Morley Robbins, R-O-B-B-I-N-S 01:36:30.920 --> 01:36:40.920 He actually shares a lot of the same sentiments as you when it comes to liking copper and reducing iron and talking about iron toxicity 01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:53.920 But he's very against vitamin D saying that it reduces vitamin A and therefore copper availability and ceruloplasmin and all of these downstream things 01:36:53.920 --> 01:37:00.920 All of that is horribly confused, there are places on the internet now 01:37:00.920 --> 01:37:09.920 I just flat out say, "Kelsey trial is vitamin D" 01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:18.920 The official terminology is that "Kelsey trial is activated vitamin D" 01:37:18.920 --> 01:37:34.920 But "Kelsey dial" is a beneficial form, not a storied form, it's the active form that acts as a neurosteroid, for example 01:37:34.920 --> 01:37:45.920 It affects physiology, the function, as well as the expression of genes in the brain and other tissues 01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:54.920 The way a storied hormone, a DHEA or a pragmatic one, modifies the tissue 01:37:54.920 --> 01:38:02.920 It might not be active in the sense of having been converted by the kidney 01:38:02.920 --> 01:38:13.920 But that process, the "Kelsey trial", that's the form that when they use it, topically, for example, on the cornea 01:38:13.920 --> 01:38:19.920 It indeed damages the healing process 01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:27.920 If you take it internally, it intensifies calcification of blood vessels and kidneys 01:38:27.920 --> 01:38:33.920 It's the toxic, dangerous vitamin D 01:38:33.920 --> 01:38:49.920 You don't undertake activated vitamin D, that is properly thought of as the dangerous last stage of vitamin D handling 01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:54.920 Which is increased in proportion to your vitamin D deficiency 01:38:54.920 --> 01:39:04.920 When you're not getting enough calcium and/or vitamin D from sunlight or diet 01:39:04.920 --> 01:39:13.920 and a rich source of calcium in the diet relative to phosphate, your parathyroid hormone increases 01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:23.920 And in the process, it increases a lot of degenerative processes 01:39:23.920 --> 01:39:35.920 It causes the removal of calcium from your bones, the increase of calcium in your arteries and other soft tissues 01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:43.920 And it increases the activation of vitamin D 01:39:43.920 --> 01:39:52.920 So the active form, so-called, is chemically 1,25-dihydroxycholicalciferol 01:39:52.920 --> 01:40:04.920 The good kind is either cholicalciferol, which is formed by the action of sunlight 01:40:04.920 --> 01:40:15.920 cholesterol, or the liver-modified 25-hydroxycholicalciferol 01:40:15.920 --> 01:40:24.920 That is the kind we take, that's the kind that increases when we take cholicalciferol 01:40:24.920 --> 01:40:40.920 It's activated in the liver and becomes the beneficial, protective, immune-supportive, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic vitamin D 01:40:40.920 --> 01:40:53.920 The 1,25-dihydroxycholicalciferol is the form that causes degenerative disease, aging, and calcification of tissues 01:40:53.920 --> 01:40:57.920 Sounds a lot like what parathyroid hormone would do 01:40:57.920 --> 01:41:11.920 Exactly, it parallels the actions of parathyroid hormone and stress, it's increased under the influence of stress and vitamin D deficiency 01:41:11.920 --> 01:41:15.920 He also argues that what's going on is that it's actually a magnesium deficiency 01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:21.920 Now I'm not arguing that magnesium isn't needed, of course it is, but he's saying that people should not take vitamin D 01:41:21.920 --> 01:41:31.920 and should just take magnesium to help all conversions, ultimately ending at calcitriol 01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:42.920 I don't think magnesium helps, I think it hinders if anything, the conversion to calcitriol 01:41:42.920 --> 01:41:52.920 Does it have a role? 01:41:52.920 --> 01:42:06.920 There's been one who really sorted this out, their study of Closol, the anti-aging protein, K-L-O-T-H-O 01:42:06.920 --> 01:42:20.920 It's strongly a regulator of calcium preventing the calcium degenerative cell death process that happens in aging 01:42:20.920 --> 01:42:31.920 So if you're deficient in Closol, your tissues prematurely calcify and increase phosphates in the diet 01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:46.920 It acts like a Closol deficiency and increased calcium, which leads Closol to keep your parathyroid hormone under control 01:42:46.920 --> 01:42:59.920 And Closol is in a tight control process with the active vitamin D or 1,25-dihydroxy 01:42:59.920 --> 01:43:07.920 I think I've heard you talk about Dr. Michael Hollick before in his research on vitamin D 01:43:07.920 --> 01:43:16.920 He mentioned that they actually came up with a 1,25-D product for people with kidney failure 01:43:16.920 --> 01:43:20.920 In that circumstance, would it be necessary or no? 01:43:20.920 --> 01:43:30.920 I doubt that, I think it's a major factor that is developed in relation to kidney failure 01:43:30.920 --> 01:43:39.920 Oh, okay, because he said he was trying to get their vitamin D up with 25, or giving them colocalciferol 01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:43.920 But ended up having to synthesize 1,25 and give it to them 01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:47.920 It was in one of his power points or slides 01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:57.920 I haven't seen that, but most of the people who write in power points seem to lose touch with their reality 01:43:57.920 --> 01:44:00.920 I don't have too much contact with their computer 01:44:00.920 --> 01:44:05.920 But you do agree with some of the things that Michael Hollick does say, right? 01:44:05.920 --> 01:44:08.920 Yeah, most of the things he says are very good 01:44:08.920 --> 01:44:11.920 Okay, sounds good. Well, thank you for clarifying that 01:44:11.920 --> 01:44:15.920 There's just been a lot of information coming out, according to that 01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:19.920 And I'd always listened to your suggestions on it, especially with the Clotho gene 01:44:19.920 --> 01:44:24.920 Which I always found to be very interesting and watched several things on that myself to try to understand it better 01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:29.920 So I live in Minnesota, so we have winter for a long time, and it's very dark 01:44:29.920 --> 01:44:36.920 So if somebody got enough sun during the short 3-4 month summer where the sun's angle is appropriate 01:44:36.920 --> 01:44:40.920 Would they need to supplement vitamin D throughout the winter, or no? 01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:42.920 I think so 01:44:42.920 --> 01:44:48.920 Okay, so it's something that you think should be supplemented year-round unless you live in the tropics or something? 01:44:48.920 --> 01:45:00.920 If you don't work outdoors, or if you're a lifeguard or something, spending 8 hours at the beach 01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:10.920 Then you might have 2 or 3 times the normal amount of vitamin D in your blood 01:45:10.920 --> 01:45:18.920 130 nanograms remotely, I think, is typical for a summer lifeguard 01:45:18.920 --> 01:45:30.920 But people who work in sheltered areas, even in the summer, they're going to have a relative vitamin D deficiency 01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:41.920 Okay, wow, so you're saying that measuring your 25D would be the way to go to figure out whether you need supplementation 01:45:41.920 --> 01:45:52.920 Yeah, if you want to find out how sick you are, then you can make sure the 125-dihydroxy, that goes up when you're desperately sick 01:45:52.920 --> 01:46:03.920 So you and I talked about the novel virus last interview, and there's been a lot of reports coming out that vitamin D is helping people with this supposed illness 01:46:03.920 --> 01:46:10.920 Or any illness, and we kind of talked about whether this thing is actually a virus or these exosomes that we talk about 01:46:10.920 --> 01:46:13.920 But either way, something does make the individual sick 01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:20.920 So these things benefiting that individual, is that just because it's reinforcing the whole organism to operate the way it should? 01:46:20.920 --> 01:46:36.920 Yeah, vitamin D and all of the anti-inflammatory processes are making our energy production more efficient 01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:50.920 And that makes our surfaces more resistant to attack by foreign organisms or chemicals 01:46:50.920 --> 01:47:08.920 Everything that improves energy tightens up our cellular structure and makes it resistant to damage 01:47:08.920 --> 01:47:29.920 The immune system is really a healthy living process. Every cell that is producing energy and consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, is part of our immune system 01:47:29.920 --> 01:47:39.920 The antibody-producing cells are another late stage, not the immune system at all 01:47:39.920 --> 01:47:46.920 But they're part of a clean-up process after injury has occurred 01:47:46.920 --> 01:48:10.920 The antibodies help to identify damaged tissue, and in the process, if a microorganism is associated with the damaged tissue, the antibodies will attach themselves to the microorganism 01:48:10.920 --> 01:48:18.920 And get rid of it, too, that their basic function is to clean up any damaged tissue 01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:26.920 So there's something that appears on the scene in response to injury 01:48:26.920 --> 01:48:35.920 And if you can keep your vitality so high that you don't get injured, then you don't beat the antibodies 01:48:35.920 --> 01:48:41.920 You have full immunity at the basic level 01:48:41.920 --> 01:48:51.920 Would it be far-fetched to say that somebody who's operating at a high level of metabolism and vitality would almost never feel symptoms of anything? 01:48:51.920 --> 01:49:13.920 Right, and there are always, even in plagues, well-fed generally, well-chaired for people 01:49:13.920 --> 01:49:22.920 There are always people who are not only resistant to the plague, but don't develop antibodies to it 01:49:22.920 --> 01:49:27.920 That's because their basic resistance is so high 01:49:27.920 --> 01:49:38.920 So the immune system, the so-called immune system and its activation is actually, and if you can feel that, it's probably a good indication that something might not be completely right in your body 01:49:38.920 --> 01:49:49.920 Yeah, the weaker your system is, the more damage occurs with less cause 01:49:49.920 --> 01:49:57.920 And so the more likely it is to get triggered to produce lots of antibodies 01:49:57.920 --> 01:50:07.920 High estrogen people overproduce antibodies because their basic cellular resistance is lower 01:50:07.920 --> 01:50:23.920 And that's why the higher your estrogen is in relation to stabilizing hormones, the more likely you are to develop the autoimmune diseases 01:50:23.920 --> 01:50:49.920 And, in other words, all of your tissues are tending to deteriorate, and the last ditch attempt of your body to save itself is to overproduce these antibodies, which are part of the system intended to remove damaged tissues 01:50:49.920 --> 01:51:10.920 Talking about the immune system and the vaccination propaganda that's going around, do you think that we're going to suffer some major consequences from people being vaccinated for illnesses where antibodies or some form of defense was transferred from the mother to the child or to the baby? 01:51:10.920 --> 01:51:19.920 Is that being compromised to where these children are going to get sick at weird times throughout their life instead of the normal times for measles and stuff like that? 01:51:19.920 --> 01:51:47.920 I think we're already seeing it starting about 30 years ago. Kids started developing autoimmune and allergic diseases at a much higher rate. It's an epidemic now, and I think it corresponded greatly to the crazy campaign in the 1970s 01:51:47.920 --> 01:51:50.920 to vaccinate more and more people. 01:51:50.920 --> 01:52:00.920 Okay, so these mothers aren't transferring the information that they need to be transferring because they're getting vaccinated? Is that a good way to look at it or no? 01:52:00.920 --> 01:52:10.920 Yeah, or are they transmitting defective information, harmful inflammatory signals? 01:52:10.920 --> 01:52:29.920 Okay, I see. One more question here, kind of along the lines of vitamin D. Because we're going to exit daylight savings pretty soon and it's going to get dark relatively fast, do you think there would be a benefit in extending the light, almost mimicking summertime light in the winter? 01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:32.920 If somebody decides to stay up? 01:52:32.920 --> 01:52:49.920 Yes, I've been advocating that for a long time. Just visible light has a very strong biological effect, but visible light plus vitamin D is the very best. 01:52:49.920 --> 01:52:58.920 And I use red lights or the heating lamps that have the red tint over them? 01:52:58.920 --> 01:53:07.920 Yeah, the red is the most anti-inflammatory component of visible light. 01:53:07.920 --> 01:53:21.920 Okay, so my question was then that that wouldn't be harmful because part of me thought maybe I'm filtering the light too much and my body's still perceiving darkness somewhat so it might be having a stress response as opposed to the clear bulbs. 01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:39.920 Well, it's the heating lamps, the 250 watt, but when it has that red filter it has a red tint which then diminishes the amount of light. 01:53:39.920 --> 01:53:52.920 Yeah, that's just taking some of the useful white light out. It isn't adding any red to have the red glass of both. 01:53:52.920 --> 01:53:58.920 So that doesn't start to produce any stress hormones by filtering that light then? 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:10.920 Only in the sense of absent brightness. Brightness itself helps to keep your alertness up. 01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:29.920 So if you're getting enough brightness with only the red light, like sitting in a darkened room with only red light, it tends to slow down and lack stimulation. 01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:35.920 Okay, so you could have red lights, you just want the light intensity to be enough where your body perceives the light. 01:54:35.920 --> 01:54:40.920 Yeah, so that you feel alert and stimulated by the brightness. 01:54:40.920 --> 01:54:50.920 Okay, that's good to know, yeah. Or else if you didn't want to do that then the best thing would be to just go to sleep right when it gets dark pretty much, right? 01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:52.920 Yeah. 01:54:52.920 --> 01:55:01.920 Okay, that would help to mitigate some of the stress of darkness. How are you doing on time? I just have about one question left for you. 01:55:01.920 --> 01:55:09.920 Okay, I was having a back and forth with Chris Masterjohn. I know that you're familiar with him. 01:55:09.920 --> 01:55:23.920 And I was kind of quoting some of your research and Gilbert Ling and Gerald Pollock and we were having a back and forth about the necessity of the essential fatty acids when it comes to the cell membranes or the so-called cell membranes. 01:55:23.920 --> 01:55:43.920 And he said that Ling never argued that the cell doesn't have a membrane and I said I know I was just more so implying that if these pumps are flawed and the energy isn't being produced enough in order to sustain these pumps, then there should be other things to look into, like the supposed membranes and receptors and channels. 01:55:43.920 --> 01:55:51.920 So can you offer some clarity on the membrane of a cell and does that exist? Are there any lipids there? 01:55:51.920 --> 01:56:13.920 If you look at the history of actual tests for whether there is a cell membrane, there are lots of publications, for example, showing that some cells don't contain enough phospholipids to cover the surface of the cell. 01:56:13.920 --> 01:56:23.920 And so it has to be something other than the phospholipids they've settled on. 01:56:23.920 --> 01:56:48.920 If you read all of the publications through the 1940s and '50s, it looks like just another propaganda thing built up to support the possibility that there is a membrane barrier with pumps, but the whole idea of a barrier. 01:56:48.920 --> 01:56:56.920 That's where the need for a phospholipid bilayer came from. 01:56:56.920 --> 01:57:19.920 Gilbert Lang showed that there is no such barrier. His isotope experiment shows that the minerals are freely moving back and forth at no barrier at all to their movement. 01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:27.920 So the very reason that it was postulated was a misunderstanding. 01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:55.920 But then when you look at the way they tried to present empirical evidence for such an unnecessary barrier, you see that old medical textbooks, if you had an ulcer, a burn, for example, that wasn't healing, 01:57:55.920 --> 01:58:11.920 they proposed different ways to seal it up so you wouldn't leak fluids through the ulcerated burn, and one method was to create a false membrane on the ulcer. 01:58:11.920 --> 01:58:40.920 And the way they did that was with heavy metal, particularly heavy metal, I can't think of right now, but it's used to sustain membranes. 01:58:40.920 --> 01:58:51.920 I can tell you later, but it's the heavy metal that they used to create false membranes. 01:58:51.920 --> 01:59:03.920 They began testing when they had access to electron microscopes that could see very fine structures. 01:59:03.920 --> 01:59:12.920 They couldn't visualize any structure at all on the surface of cells that could correspond to a barrier membrane. 01:59:12.920 --> 01:59:26.920 And finally someone decided to osmic acid, osmium tetroxide, as a compound that creates false membranes. 01:59:26.920 --> 01:59:37.920 But when they couldn't demonstrate a microscopic structure at the surface of cells, someone decided to treat the cells with osmic acid. 01:59:37.920 --> 01:59:43.920 And they, in fact, created a false membrane on the surface. 01:59:43.920 --> 02:00:12.920 And their first sustaining of the cell membrane, it was 400 angstroms thick, and over the decades, as they changed their rules about what such a barrier might do, 02:00:12.920 --> 02:00:22.920 and where the pumps might be, the theoretical membrane kept getting thinner and thinner. 02:00:22.920 --> 02:00:31.920 And so they used different methods to make the stain produce a thinner and thinner membrane. 02:00:31.920 --> 02:00:52.920 Until finally they got down to present very thin two layers of phospholipid with the acidic ends separated by the two layers of the carbon chains of fatty acids. 02:00:52.920 --> 02:01:06.920 And their present staining with osmic acid produces two black layers separated by clear space. 02:01:06.920 --> 02:01:19.920 And it's known that osmic acid has methylity for proteins and fats, but it, being an acid, it's repelled by acidic groups. 02:01:19.920 --> 02:01:33.920 And the picture they present corresponds to the acidic heads of the phospholipids separated by the appropriate distance. 02:01:33.920 --> 02:01:50.920 But these heads, the hypothetical heads of the phospholipids, are black because they are binding osmic acid. 02:01:50.920 --> 02:02:07.920 And acid head groups are specifically brought with the unstained, and the single layer of fatty acid chains between those two layers would be stained black. 02:02:07.920 --> 02:02:15.920 So you'd see a single fat layer stained by osmic tetroxide. 02:02:15.920 --> 02:02:30.920 So the very stain that they had decided would demonstrate their barrier membrane where the pumps operate turns out to be totally illogical. 02:02:30.920 --> 02:02:33.920 And at that point they just don't want to talk anymore. 02:02:33.920 --> 02:02:39.920 So the phospholipid is there though, or membrane is there, or it's just being stained? 02:02:39.920 --> 02:02:53.920 Well, the osmium definitely can't be representing the structures that they show on the internet and in textbooks, 02:02:53.920 --> 02:03:07.920 because the black lines are separated by the appropriate distance of two layers of fatty acids. 02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:18.920 But osmic acid would stain a single layer of such a fat. 02:03:18.920 --> 02:03:42.920 So I think my interpretation is as good as any that at any phase change, the cell being a living phase of substance surrounded by a more or less amorphous extracellular material, 02:03:42.920 --> 02:03:53.920 you have a phase difference where the water structure is ordered inside in a different way than outside. 02:03:53.920 --> 02:04:20.920 And where you have a phase difference, you get an electrical double layer, and you can stain an electrical double layer at any ionized particle near a surface where there's a phase change between one substance and another with different electrical properties. 02:04:20.920 --> 02:04:40.920 You will have an electrical double layer, and if you have a visualizable ionic material, that will distribute itself representing an electrical double layer, 02:04:40.920 --> 02:04:56.920 which any simple oil suspended in water, for example, that there will be an electrical double layer at the surface. 02:04:56.920 --> 02:05:10.920 So I think what we're seeing is simply a phase bound to the electrical double layer, which is stainable with any ionized particle. 02:05:10.920 --> 02:05:21.920 Do you think this cell would be non-visible if it wasn't for the staining? Would it just mix in with the rest of the fluids? Would you not be able to see it? 02:05:21.920 --> 02:05:40.920 Oh, yeah, the electron microscope showed that they had many different stains, and the different phase properties always concentrated any visualizable substance differently. 02:05:40.920 --> 02:05:58.920 Without a stain, you would see a different texture inside and outside the cell, and any electron opaque material would distribute itself differently. 02:05:58.920 --> 02:06:19.920 So you see different arrangements, but the osmium staining or sulfur staining or any of the things that are visible to an electron microscope, 02:06:19.920 --> 02:06:40.920 if you deprive a cell of oxygen, you see it becoming more and more stainable to these positively ionized metal particles. 02:06:40.920 --> 02:07:01.920 The positive charge of silver, for example, will gradually increase in a gray diffused manner, increasing in proportion to the oxygen deprivation of the tissue, 02:07:01.920 --> 02:07:13.920 so that you're increasing the electron richness of the protein substance of the cytoplasm. 02:07:13.920 --> 02:07:40.920 And in that condition, you'll be repelling acidic compounds, so the staining would be reduced by oxygen deprivation for acids and increased for alkaline things such as heavy metals. 02:07:40.920 --> 02:07:58.920 Would the imagery change depending on the state of the cell, and if you're oxidizing or fermenting your fuel, would that, because then the concentration of CO2 is changing and so is lactate and ammonia? 02:07:58.920 --> 02:08:08.920 Every different substance causes some structural changes, as well as stainability changes. 02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:35.920 Just for fun, once I tried fixing a cell for the electron microscope with an acid, I forget the name of it, but it was, I think, a 6 or 8 carbon dicarbic cell, like acid chain with acid group on each end. 02:08:35.920 --> 02:08:45.920 And when I stained with that, I found the appearance of membranes all the way through the cell. 02:08:45.920 --> 02:09:05.920 So it looked like an onion, if you slice an onion, you see these layer after layer of substance, a slight distinction between the layers. 02:09:05.920 --> 02:09:08.920 Do you know what may have caused that? 02:09:08.920 --> 02:09:37.920 Yeah, I think that the toxic effect, these dicarbic cell-like acids were hardening the protein, but as it was absorbed, it would reorganize a layer, and as it went deeper, the cytoplasm was reacting. 02:09:37.920 --> 02:10:02.920 Sequentially, sort of the resistance to being hardened of the cytoplasm would go in waves, so it's sort of a functional wave that passes through the cell causing a frozen wave effect. 02:10:02.920 --> 02:10:17.920 Okay. From your descriptions and your articles and your interviews, I've come to understand the cell's ability and its affinity for certain minerals over others and carbon dioxide having a major role in that. 02:10:17.920 --> 02:10:30.920 But when it comes to the so-called receptors, how can we make sense of these receptors and how drugs function and how even VDR, vitamin D receptor, what are these receptors really? 02:10:30.920 --> 02:10:45.920 They are proteins, natural proteins, but you keep identifying new things that count as receptors. 02:10:45.920 --> 02:11:14.920 It just depends on how you're looking. First crude glands with a stainable substance, for example, will identify a certain number of proteins throughout the cell, maybe on the surface or in the nucleus or randomly distributed. 02:11:14.920 --> 02:11:39.920 If you change the nature of the molecule a little bit, then you will start turning up things with a lower affinity. 02:11:39.920 --> 02:12:08.920 You can eventually separate all of the proteins of the cell as having more or less affinity for any particular substance, anything you consider that can be dissolved into the cell is going to have greater or less affinity for any particular protein. 02:12:08.920 --> 02:12:27.920 The proteins that have the most affinity are the most sensitive point of the cell in responding, but I think the proper way is to think of it as a leverage point. 02:12:27.920 --> 02:12:55.920 It doesn't deny that the particular molecule is affecting many places that you haven't identified, but the most responsive places are called the receptor, but they are simply a point that is more sensitive than others. 02:12:55.920 --> 02:13:21.920 If you created an organism lacking that particular receptor, the hormone will still have most of its effects, estrogen effects, are very independent of a particular receptor. 02:13:21.920 --> 02:13:30.920 So it kind of sounds like a mechanistic way of describing it, kind of like a key in a lock instead of recognizing the complexities around it. 02:13:30.920 --> 02:13:58.920 It took 20 years or so before people were recognizing that estrogen and progesterone, other hormones, could have what they call the cytoplasmic or membrane activity, attending for the fact that estrogen will within two or three minutes of exposing a cell to it. 02:13:58.920 --> 02:14:08.920 The enzyme activities all through the cell are changing, but the receptor hasn't had time to go anywhere in the cell. 02:14:08.920 --> 02:14:25.920 For 20 years, they were insisting that estrogen acted on the genes through its receptor, and that the receptor had to travel in and act on the gene, which would then cause the changes. 02:14:25.920 --> 02:14:44.920 Meanwhile, people who were looking at other effects, electrical reactions, or water uptake, or activation of fats emphasizing enzymes and so on, all of this happens within seconds or minutes of exposure. 02:14:44.920 --> 02:15:06.920 But the genetic doctrine took a good 20 years to get them to change their terminology, and now they say, "Well, there's the genetic effect and the membrane effect, or the cytoplasmic action of hormones." 02:15:06.920 --> 02:15:22.920 If you look for any hormone, you'll see a cytoplasmic or so-called membrane effect that happens long before any genetic thing could be activated. 02:15:22.920 --> 02:15:35.920 Wow. So when somebody says, "Oh, my disease is purely genetic," do you think there is any genetic malfunction or mutation that's independent of its environment? 02:15:35.920 --> 02:15:36.920 No. 02:15:36.920 --> 02:15:43.920 Yeah. It's very interesting. They make it seem like it's just a period out of thin air for no reason. 02:15:43.920 --> 02:16:04.920 Yeah. That was very convenient for medicine. When viruses were discovered, they were popular. A person would come in with something the doctor didn't understand, and he would say, "Well, that's a virus. We'll give you an antibiotic." 02:16:04.920 --> 02:16:17.920 When the virus story didn't work, they always had the genes. It's basically your fault. It's something you inherited. 02:16:17.920 --> 02:16:31.920 Yeah. I wonder how they can justify its presence now, its increased presence now and not in the past. But then again, they say things like, "Well, we have better technology now, and we didn't know about things and diagnosis," blah, blah, blah. 02:16:31.920 --> 02:16:56.920 You know, diabetes used to be a genetic disease, but in Israel, with the big immigration changes, it turned out that the European diet, people would come in, in the population, absolutely free of diabetes. 02:16:56.920 --> 02:17:10.920 As soon as they start eating European-style food, their genetic potential for diabetes was suddenly realized. 02:17:10.920 --> 02:17:23.920 Yeah. I have Somalian friends here in Minnesota, and they say, "Oh, whenever grandpa's diabetes acts up, we just send him back to Africa, and he comes back fine." 02:17:23.920 --> 02:17:31.920 So, one last clarification on the cells. What are these channels? What is your interpretation of the channels? 02:17:31.920 --> 02:17:55.920 Oh, the patch clamp. They would stick a membrane in and pull it out with something stuck on the end, which they said was a membrane, and then they could just have their membrane, no organism or cell involved. 02:17:55.920 --> 02:18:11.920 But they could give the properties of the electronic behavior of the cell, supposedly by the electronic behavior of whatever was stuck on their microelectrode. 02:18:11.920 --> 02:18:38.920 And that is where the single-channel electric properties of the cell originated, and someone decided to break off the very tip of this so-called membrane that they were studying and look at it under an electron microscope. 02:18:38.920 --> 02:18:48.920 And they just saw a blob of ordinary cytoplasm. No membrane-like structure was visible at all. 02:18:48.920 --> 02:19:04.920 And then someone decided to, if it was just an amorphous bit of cytoplasm, they decided to try amorphous bits of other polymeric jellies. 02:19:04.920 --> 02:19:29.920 And with a great variety of different polymeric substances made into a group that was electronically conducted by having water solubility, they put it in a microelectrode the same way the cell had been treated, 02:19:29.920 --> 02:19:41.920 and then they did their electronic setup and got the same single-channel electrical activity. 02:19:41.920 --> 02:20:01.920 You get the channel conduction equivalent to a single impulse of a nerve. You get it with all kinds of different polymer jellies, nothing resembling a cell material. 02:20:01.920 --> 02:20:12.920 Would it be fair to say that the cell almost resembles a ball of jello, matrix proteins, and nothing's floating around in there like a bag of water, right? 02:20:12.920 --> 02:20:28.920 You know, it's that the polymer experiences an electrical field by reorganizing itself. 02:20:28.920 --> 02:20:46.920 I took an egg and stuck two electrodes in it and put it on a hysteresis device that measures the resistance with increasing voltage versus decreasing voltage. 02:20:46.920 --> 02:20:57.920 And the pure egg white showed an extreme learning effect. 02:20:57.920 --> 02:21:26.920 And if you take a gob of that albumen, that sort of thing was what they did. Their channel experiment with the field itself creates an organization and creates a conductivity which discharging then causes a reorganization. 02:21:26.920 --> 02:21:41.920 It creates a build-up of a new organ and so it quantizes the behavior just by the changing field and discharge effects. 02:21:41.920 --> 02:21:51.920 So you create a functional channel just by the way you set up the measurement of it. 02:21:51.920 --> 02:22:00.920 Dr. Peat, do you have any recommendations for people like me who are curious of cell physiology and what you deem to be a more accurate version of it? 02:22:00.920 --> 02:22:05.920 Is there any resources or textbooks that you can direct us to besides your own resources, of course? 02:22:05.920 --> 02:22:22.920 The University Library used to have lots of good resources but they've become less and less accessible. 02:22:22.920 --> 02:22:33.920 They've created filters using digitization to make things less accessible. 02:22:33.920 --> 02:22:47.920 Yeah, paywalls and stuff. I think I remember you saying in a KMUD Ask the Herb Doctor's radio show that you moved to Oregon because you wanted to be close to the library. 02:22:47.920 --> 02:22:51.920 Do you still utilize the library and go to the library? 02:22:51.920 --> 02:23:05.920 No, I was working in the library when our old librarian was about to retire and she was installing some of the new digital stuff. 02:23:05.920 --> 02:23:23.920 And she saw me working with biological abstracts, the paper version. There were hundreds and hundreds of volumes of those and they were very useful and chemical abstracts. 02:23:23.920 --> 02:23:37.920 She asked me to check some particular subjects so she could compare the digital version with the paper version. 02:23:37.920 --> 02:23:47.920 And just in an hour or so I found several examples that had been deleted. 02:23:47.920 --> 02:23:57.920 Censored, the digital version wasn't the complete representation of the paper volumes. 02:23:57.920 --> 02:24:13.920 Wow, that's so disappointing to hear. This is why I value people like you so much who have retained this information and is sound enough to recall it and help inform the rest of us who are maybe half your age or even less like me. 02:24:13.920 --> 02:24:19.920 And I really want to know this stuff going forward. We can't lose this stuff or people like you. It's too important. 02:24:19.920 --> 02:24:35.920 Dr. Peat, I'd like to thank you so much for being here for this long. I hope I didn't keep you too long. You gave some amazing information and we had a great response for our first show. People loved it and hopefully they'll gain a lot from this too. Thank you so much. 02:24:35.920 --> 02:24:36.920 Okay, thank you. 02:24:36.920 --> 02:24:38.920 You have a good night. 02:24:49.920 --> 02:25:01.920 Subscribe, follow, and share.
