Dr. Jack Kruse: "Let me tell you how simple it is. […] All you have to remember is this.
"Eat like a great white shark, protein and fat. Look to the east like the Sphinx every morning. That's all you have to do. Four extremities grounded, look to the east. That's why the ancient Egyptians put the Sphinx facing the east. They were telling us something, but we've lost our way. That's all you need to do. If you can remember that you're well on the road. That's 80% of getting better is sunrise. Never miss another one the rest of your life."

Dr Jack Kruse: "I tell my members this, I want to tell you this: wounds create your wisdom. OK? Embrace the suck. Why? […] The punch in the mouth you get leads to the regeneration. So I'm gonna leave you with this thought. This will blow your mind.
"The reason why childbirth hurts is because the pain that comes out for the woman, that releases light in her mitochondria that's going to regenerate her body after the baby comes out. That lesson is even in childbirth. […]"
Hoody: "No pain, no gain."
Dr Jack Kruse: "You got it. My friend up there, the anesthesiologist, he's probably thinking how many times he put an epidural in a woman's back to stay away from the pain. Then what did they do? They took that baby out through the belly. Do you realize what I'm saying? When you do that, is that child a wilded human? No, he's already born into a world where he's a zoo animal.
"What I'm telling you is when someone tells you an uncomfortable truth, something that fundamentally goes against what you believe to be true right now, you have two options. You can tell me I'm an asshole. Or it's the mark of an educated mind to take something you fundamentally don't believe, examine it for yourself and see if I really am an asshole, or that I deliver a punch in the mouth that you really needed so that I can improve you to get you to that next level.
"I believe when we don't embrace the suck […] you don't learn the lesson from the wound. That's the problem.
"Every time I think about epidurals, I think we're not learning the lesson here at all. […]
"Every wound, take it and look for the silver lining in it. It may be hard for you to see it. […] The gentleman, my top right here, he made the best point to me in the whole thing. Covid was a blessing, absolute blessing for us all. Why? Because we got to see what the removal of freedom and what tyranny really is.
"We have a duty to all of us. […] I'm an American, I'm in El Salvador, and you guys are Australians. We have a duty to do something about this for the little kids that are being subject to those covid jabs right now. We need to stop this."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "Melanin is animal photosynthesis. That's what separates your son from them damn tomatoes out in the garden. They only have chlorophyll to work with. Turns out your son, it's got about fucking a hundred different chromophores that do all kinds of crazy shit in him. You've learned about a lot of them: encephalopsin, melanopsin, neuropsin, rhodopsin, hemoglobin, cholesterol, leptin.
"These are all animal photosynthetic chemicals that work to create this bioelectric current that Levin talks about, that Becker talked about, that even Jerry Pollack talks about at some level. But nobody seems to take all of this together to figure out, how do we keep Logan's son in Arkansas healthy? Well, Doug Wallace told you that answer. Even he's part of this story. So is Nick Lane.
"Turns out the bioelectric feedback on that optical density gives you feedback on the environment.
"When your son gets cancer, it's telling you as his parent the signal's incoherent from outside in. Change that, fix that. That's the key.
"When you do that, then you find out that when you take them to the University of Arkansas and the oncologist tells you this, that, and the other thing, you're like, 'Hmm, OK. This was good, this was good, but maybe this wasn't, this wasn't, this wasn't.' You start thinking about it a little bit differently.
"That is what a decentralized savage does. Remember, I always try to tell people, as everybody says that medicine in the United States is really far advanced. Remember, centralized medicine is the third leading cause of death in the United States. That's not my word; that's the Institute of Medicine's word."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "I am not a food guru. I am an engine guru. I'm a mitochondriac. […] I tell people, 'If you want to be a vegan and be a black swan mitochondriac, it's possible. The only problem is, you have to live within the 20s, 20th north and 20th south latitudes, and you have to do some exceptional things.'"
Dr. Jack Wolfson: "How do those people get their DHA? I test all the vegans that come in and they've got no DHA."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, that's the key. The key is, there's a mechanism in the eye called the Bazan Effect. Dr. Nicolas Bazan, he's a world-famous eye researcher. […] What the Bazan Effect is, is we have two loops in our eye. The first loop, any time sunlight comes in, it disassociates DHA and we recycle it in our eye. The key to that process, it's controlled by the circadian mechanism, so if you're blue light toxic or you happen to live next to a cell tower, you lose that ability.
"What's the back-up system that evolution built into humans? Remember, the central retinal pathways has the highest level DHA of any mammal on this planet in humans, and our brains also the same way. We have a back-up system called the long loop, and the long loop connects the eye to the liver. It turns out that your liver is designed to put that in there. If your eye gets broken, your liver can replenish the situation. A vegan who gets as little DHA as possible is constantly recycling. Assuming that they're living on the equator where there's 12 hours of sunlight in daylight, that effect is no longer present. […]
"I had the realization that India sits on the equator […] That was the key. When I figured this out I was like, 'You know what? These vegetarians have made it for four or five thousand years. They've done really good.'
"But you know what they didn't have? […] They didn't have any fake light. The only fake light that ancient people ever had was full moon, and that's where we get the word lunatic from, luna meaning moon. And when you had the reflected blue right off the moon, even the ancients knew that blue light causes a problem.
"It turns out that vegans can recycle the little DHA that they get. Remember, in humans we do convert about 1–3% of ALA to DHA. It's very, very small. But if you happen to have a perfect circadian mechanism, veganism can work.
"Now, do I think it can work in a 0G to 5G world? Absolutely not, I think it's psychotic. But if you're going to do it, you have to do it in a tropical environment. […]
"I tell people, 'If you're vegan or vegetarian, the move to greatness is just become a pescatarian. Just get something in your system. Now that we know about melanopsin and how it works with leptin, once you fix this Bazan effect in your eye with the short and long loop, you can do extremely well.'"
Dr. Jack Wolfson: "Amazing, amazing, and certainly, me coming out of Chicago, huge Indian population there when I was doing my cardiology training. […] The vegans, they've got some of the worst coronary artery disease you can ever imagine. […] It's obviously a major problem for them."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "This is the key. You need to reconstruct your AM to fix your real problem. […] That's why I stopped operating at 07:00 AM, started all my cases at 08:30.
"It's also the reason why I moved to the 28th latitude from where I lived. Why? Because UV-A light shows up. You guys here that live in Vermont, got some bad news for you. If you've got a mitochondrial disease, which most diseases are, you need that UV-A light. It shows up later here than it does in New Orleans. Guess what that means?
"You need more control of your life in the morning than any other time. That's the practical advice. OK? These are not Jack Kruse's rules. These are the sun's rules. OK? […]
"There's another opsin that you may not know about, it's called neuropsin. It's on the cornea of the eye and it's on your skin. It's a UV-A light detector. […] That neuropsin tells the brain that UV-A light is present and it can begin to make melatonin from sunlight. How do you like that? […] It's a nighttime hormone […] because that's when it's active. It only activates when light is not present. It's remade first in the eye and then generalizes all along the brain.
"The other key thing, […] UV-A light turns down energy production. […] The fourth cytochrome is cytochrome C oxidase in everybody's mitochondria. Anybody want to guess what kind of light turns it on? Red light. UV light turns it off. Why?
"What does UV light make in the skin or the eye? Nitric oxide. That's why UV light lowers your blood pressure, because it causes 40–60% of dermal pooling and it helps your heart. What people don't realize the effect is, it turns off your ability to make ATP from food electrons. Hmm. There's another piece of the equation that may be really counterintuitive for some of you in this room.
"It has a lot of other effects. One of these if you have breast cancer or prostate cancer you may want to pay attention to that one, because it affects the aromatase enzyme. […] You need to get your body parts out in the sun. […]
"Taking melatonin is a great way to ruin sleep. OK? […] You have this direct loop that goes to the pineal gland, but the energy comes in here. This energy has to be balanced blue and red. What does this first do? It turns your pituitary gland on. […]
"Blue light balanced by red is what turns on hormone production. If you look at a circadian mechanism, all the hormones are made usually from 06:00 to 10:00, in almost any medical textbook. (They're assuming that you live around the 30th latitude. That's not true. It's different at different places. But it's a key.)
"Anybody want a shocker? What turns off hormone production? UV-A light on the skin. First time it shows up. UV light is what turns off in your blood plasma. […] What's the key point here?
"The key point here is this paraventricular nucleus, which is part of the hypothalamus, that's where the sympathetic nervous system begins and ends. That's the key. Anytime you hear anybody talk about adrenal fatigue, if you go to my site and read Brain Gut 16, adrenal fatigue is due to an altered light spectrum. […] Where's the problem start? In the brain, through the eye."

Danny Carroll: "I've been studying cancer for the last 20 years, testing solutions for cancer. I found the holy grail in 2012, […] a body of knowledge more commonly known as Germanic New Medicine. The founder, a German medical doctor called Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, renamed as Germanische Heilkunde, or in English, Germanic Healing Knowledge. […] He had a 92% success rate at healing terminally-ill cancer patients. […]
"Like all amazing journeys, it starts off with a traumatic beginning. […] In 1978 his 19-year-old son was shot and murdered by an Italian crown prince. Two months later he got a fast-growing tumor on his testicle, […] a very rare form of cancer called a testicular teratoma with metastasis to the stomach. He was given a 1% chance to survive. He survived it because he had surgery but he refused chemotherapy and radiation […]
"He was in his late 40s at the time and he had been practicing medicine for over 20 years. He was a healthy guy. He couldn't help thinking that there must be a causal link between his son getting murdered and then him getting a very rare, fast-growing cancer on a reproductive organ.
"At the time he was the head of cancer research at a gynecological oncology unit in Germany, an offshoot of Munich University, a university called Tübingen University. He had 200 female terminally-ill cancer patients that he was working with as part of his cancer research.
"He started to interview them to find out whether they'd gone through a similar type of emotional trauma before they got cancer. Out of 200, 200 had. When he started putting these women into different categories like ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, mammary gland breast cancer, and intraductal breast cancer, what he basically observed was that the women in the same category had all suffered from the same type of trauma.
"The women, for example, with ovarian cancer, had all suffered from some form of profound loss. All the women with mammary gland breast cancer had all had some what he described as a nest or care conflict where somebody in the family basically got sick. He started to see patterns emerging.
"Fast forward, 39 years of research before he died in 2017 and working directly with over 50,000 cancer patients, what he concluded is that cancer is in fact not a disease. It's actually a survival biological program that's there to stop us from dying, to actually not kill us.
"If you take his case, for example, his son shot and murdered, what he discovered is that the tumor that grew on his testicle was actually functional tissue. If you research it on any of the WebMD or any of those conventional medicine sites, they all acknowledge that the tissue is actually functional tissue. That what he learned along the journey is that the tumor on his testicle was actually designed to increase his testosterone and sperm production, so that he had a better chance of getting his wife pregnant, so he could replace the child that he just lost. The survival element of this specific program was progeny."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "Nature is totally chaos. Our cells are built in a dissipative way that's called atomic molecular organization. In other words, the way the atoms are organized determines things.
"When you live your life during the day and night you disorder those atoms. Every morning you have to get up and see the sunrise. The sunrise reorders the atoms in you.
"I live my life, I read the newspaper, I get on my phone. That is not the sun. You just plugged into the centralized system. In other words, you have let the disorder and entropy build up. And every single time you do that, you create a problem in you. In other words, there's no way for you to really be decentralized until you understand that you have to come back to the default state every day.
"Now the reason I point this out to you, how do I make bitcoiners better? Get into the sunrise every day. Why? Because thinking first begins with you going back to the default state, so that you don't pick up the newspaper, you don't listen to Peter McCormack's podcast, you don't get on your cell phone to find out what's going on in Latvia or Estonia. No.
"You go out and spend that first hour in nature and reset all the atoms in your head. You go have your cappuccino, and you do the biohack that I told you before: you look to the mountain and you look to the water and say, 'Today, do I want to be more like an obedient idiot or do I want to be more like a savage?' Then you proceed on.
"I think you get to this mindset when you know that your vault is filled with enough bitcoin that even if you make a mistake you can say, 'I can fix these problems. I am willing to make a shitcoin decision to help some of the people out that I love.' In other words, you use your self-custody, you use your autodidact, to pick the people who you want to save, who you know are not going out to the sunrise every day. OK? And there's so many bitcoiners that are making this mistake."

Dr Stu: "Here's a really important question. If people believe in evolution over time, things that are beneficial stick around, things that are less beneficial disappear. In every mammal, labor is painful. Why is labor painful? Why wouldn't that go away? What purpose does it serve biologically that labor remains painful?
"Now, putting the biblical explanation aside, when a wild animal is in labor, it's not crying out and moaning and saying, 'fuck.' It's not doing those things. But it's painful. OK? We know that because we've done experiments on animals in labor and they can see that their catecholamine levels rise every time they have a contraction, so we know they're having discomfort.
"Maybe labor is painful because there's a benefit to it, because if there was no benefit to it, then over time, you would think it would evolve away. But it hasn't. What could that benefit be?
"When you have a surge and you're uncomfortable, you're putting out neurotransmitters and hormones that help you cope with that. You're putting out cortisol, which is your stress hormone. You're putting out adrenalin, which helps you because it helps to space the contractions out a little bit and prepares your body to fight or flight. You're putting out endorphins, which are your body's own opiates to help you deal with pain. And you're putting out oxytocin, obviously, a surge of oxytocin every few minutes, which not only makes your uterus contract, but also makes you feel warm and love and connection to your baby, connection to your partner. It's the hormone that helps with milk let-down, although that's not relevant at that time.
"You're putting out that whole cocktail of hormones. Every three minutes or so, you put out a surge. Then you have a couple of minutes to recover and the receptors recover and regenerate. Then you put out another surge and another surge of these hormones.
"But think about this. When you're having discomfort, you're not the only person having discomfort. Your baby is also experiencing something for the first time that it's never experienced before. Its whole world is changing, because its whole world has been living inside of mom, minding its own business, floating around, doing its thing, communicating with mom back and forth. When mom is happy, baby is happy. When mom is nervous, probably baby gets the same hormones that mom's putting out and baby gets a little nervous. When mom eats food that's not so good, baby knows it. When mom eats sugar, baby knows it.
"So there's a communication going on between mom and baby throughout the entire time. Baby is giving mom some of its own cells. Every mom is a chimera of cells from every child she's ever conceived is living inside that woman.
"There's a communication and a beautiful symphony that's going on between mom and baby. Every time that baby is getting squeezed every three minutes that baby is getting a waft of mom's hormones. There's mom's oxytocin: mom is there, mom loves me, I'm feeling warmth. There's mom's adrenaline: that's helping me cope with my contraction. There's mom's endorphins: wow, that feels pretty good. OK? And it's coping fine.
"Then the woman gets an epidural. Suddenly, all those hormones are shut off, because she's no longer in pain. Yet her contractions are still continuing, and maybe even they've spaced out a little bit from the epidural so now they add pitosin. Now the baby is getting squeezed without any help from mom anymore. Then the baby's heart rate changes that we've discussed earlier.
"Maybe labor is painful for a reason. Maybe we're supposed to try to deal with that pain in a way every other mammal does and not artificially make it go away with gas or an epidural.
"I'm not saying that epidurals aren't a godsend; of course they're a godsend for some women. But an 80% epidural rate for women who labor is crazy. Let them move."

Dr Stu: "When you go into labor, your midwife will likely be the one that's there, as opposed to the medical model, where if your doctor is a group of 10 doctors, you have a one in 10 chance of having the person you've been seeing be your caregiver. And now you get a different nurse and a different doctor, a complete stranger.
"This is not how mammals feel safe. This is not how labor progresses smoothly. So labor becomes dysfunctional, and it's a self-fulfilling prophesy. They do things to make labor dysfunctional, then they say your labor is dysfunctional. We'll fix it by giving you pitosin, without any concern about the fact that there's problems with artificial pitosin. They don't tell you there are risks to that medication. Then of course the contractions get really strong, and since you have to be monitored now, because you're on pitosin, you can't move. So you have to get your epidural.
"Then your epidural, as I said earlier, disconnects you from your baby (I have this theory about that). Then the baby suddenly isn't connected to mom through hormonal change anymore, because mom is now snoring or sleeping because she's comfortable.
"The baby is still getting squeezed every two to three minutes. And baby doesn't know where mom is, and so the baby starts to get a little panicky and its heart rate begins to show some fluctuations.
"The doctors don't like that, so the doctors say, 'Well, your baby's not tolerating labor very well. I think we should do a C-section.' Then you're supposed to feel relieved that you had a C-section.
"It all started because they were meddling with you in the first place. Except in those rare occasions, again, maybe 10% of women, maybe 15% of women, who really need the hospital model, who may need a surgical birth.
"But what about the other 60% or 70% in your country that are having C-sections that don't need it? They're all told they need it.
"Your question was, 'They're all told there's a reason for it.' Of course there's a reason for it! They're not going to be told, 'I'm doing it because I want to be home by dinner.' But that's often the reason."

Jerm: "Dr Stu, if I'm following you correctly, you're suggesting that there's an overmedicalization of childbirth and it's also driven by a combination of profit and fear. Is that correct?"
Dr Stu: "That would be exactly correct. Those are the two most powerful motives for why we have a system that is the way it is. If we could remove both of those from the system, and we rewarded NOT doing something. If we could bill for NOT giving a hepatitis vaccine then hospitals would probably back off on demanding women get a hepatitis vaccine for their baby.
"If we paid more for a vaginal birth than we did for a Caesaerean birth, if we paid less for induction than we did for someone in natural labor, maybe we'd see more natural labors and vaginal births. When the system pays more for more interventions you're going to see more interventions.
"And how do you drive a woman to be intervened upon? You scare her. You tell her stupid stuff. 'Oh my God, you're over 35.' At the very first visit, they're 10 weeks pregnant. At the very first visit, and the doctor is talking about their age, and being how high risk this could be, and your placenta might give out.
"I don't think the doctors realize this. I think there's a lack of self-awareness in the words that come out of their mouth. Because there's no reason at 10 weeks pregnant to tell a woman, 'God, you have narrow hips. There's a chance your baby may not fit through your pelvis.' Why are you telling her that? Because you're projecting your anxieties upon the women that you're caring for. That's what you're doing. You don't even know you're doing it.
"And you think that that's giving information so they can make informed consent. It's not, because they only tell them that the downsides of, say, a breech vaginal delivery. But they don't tell the downsides of a Caesarean section. They tell them the benefits of an epidural, they don't tell them the downsides of an epidural.
"So they skew their counseling. This is coercion of a subtle form. There's overt coercion, pulling out the 'Your baby will die if you don't do this' card. But there's very subtle coercion. And it goes on in every doctor's office all the time. Some of it is motivated by fear, fear in the doctor as much as in the woman.
"And a lot of it is motivated by profit margin. The more hospitals do, the more money they make. So why would they do less? If I were the chief financial officer of a hospital, why would I want to lower my C-section rate? Because I'm a good person? Well, screw that. Your fiduciary duty is to your hospital entity that you work for."

Jerm: "[…] I am now fairly skeptical of those interventions [vitamin K and the early vaccines, for example]. Am I correct in that skepticism?"
Dr Stu: "You should be. Yes. Let's talk about a couple of things. First of all, the erythromycin eye goop. Women are screened for chlamydia and gonorrhea. If they don't have it, they don't need this eye goop in their eyes, which is an antibiotic. […] That's ridiculous to give to a woman who's got negative cultures or who has been having prenatal care. There's no reason to give the eye goop.
"Let's talk about hepatitis vaccine because that's an easy one. There's zero indication to give hepatitis vaccine unless a woman has hepatitis. And even then, the vaccine isn't going to help the baby. What they need is hepatitis B immunoglobulin, because the vaccine takes a while to work and the baby's going to be exposed to hepatitis at birth. All women are screened for hepatitis at pregnancy. Almost all women are negative, and yet they want to give the baby a vaccine for a disease that's sexually transmitted or passes through IV drug abuse, none of which I think your baby will be involved in in the first couple few years of its life.
"It is a money maker. They don't consider it to be a downside. It has 250mcg of aluminum in it. Aluminum is a toxin. There is no safe dose of a heavy metals in humans, let alone fetuses or newborns. So, the hepatitis vaccine is an absolute no, unless you have hepatitis.
"And the problem now with giving HBIG, which is hepatitis B immunoglobulin, is that it comes from pooled blood specimens. There's no way to know whether those pooled blood specimens were people that got the covid vaccine and end up putting spike protein into that. We've got a real problem now with our blood supply (and those sorts of things, e.g., RhoGAM transfusions). […]
"Vitamin K is a real interesting thing, because there is something called vitamin K deficiency bleeding, which is quite severe and can happen. But the incident of that happening is […] about one in 16,000. We're giving vitamin K to prevent something that happens one in 16,000. We're giving it intramuscularly, rather than subcutaneously or orally, when there's a black box warning on the package insert for vitamin K that said don't give it intramuscularly because it can cause anaphylactic reactions. […]
"If vitamin K is so important for babies, then how come babies are born vitamin K deficient? Wouldn't nature have figured out a way to give babies vitamin K? […] 15,999 babies don't get vitamin K deficiency bleeding and they are vitamin K deficient. Why are we giving them a shot to protect that one baby that might have something else wrong with it?
"Why are we giving them something that's going to thicken their clotting and increase their clotting, when maybe nature designed it so that in the first week or so of life, until the baby's gut starts to produce its own vitamin K through its own colonization of bacteria that a healthy mother's vaginal bacteria, maybe it's not supposed to be thickened. Maybe blood is supposed to flow thinner. Maybe it's supposed to flow into tiny little capillaries forming in the baby's brain and other parts of its body. And maybe that's why nature designed it that way."

Jerm: "Isn't the outcome to get the baby out?"
Dr Stu: "Is it? The outcome is: How is the baby? How is the baby's life? How's the mother? How's the mother feeling? How's the mother healing? How's the mother's mood? How's the mother's depression? How's the mother's bonding? What about the mother's future babies?
"When you do a C-section on a first baby, for even an indication, where there might be a benefit to it, you've got to remember that now you've put that mother and all that mother's future babies at risk. So, it's not just a one-off. It's not just a focus on the live baby in the bassinet. But the medical model only focuses on that.
"And if you do a C-section on a woman who didn't need it, and when you're looking at an 80% C-section rate [in your country, South Africa], I would tell you probably 90% of those women didn't need it. So you're doing hundreds of thousands of unnecessary major surgeries a year with no concern for them downstream.
"And if that woman in a future pregnancy has a placental problem where the placenta grows into the uterus, it's called placenta accreta, which is increased after every Caesarean section you have. No one's saying, 'Well, let's look back and see why we did that first C-section. Oh, we didn't really need to do that? Well, then this is our fault.' No, they don't say that. They'll just say, 'Now we'll save you from the accreta,' that we probably caused, and 'Pat us on the back for being so good to save you from the placenta accreta.'
"They don't see what they're doing downstream because they don't look. [...]

[...] When I was still practicing, I would see women for a consult for breech, usually around 36 to 38 weeks when they find out their baby is breech and their doctor is only giving them the option of having a Caesarean section. No other option available. Doesn't mention the fact that breech birth is a reasonable choice. Maybe they don't know how to do it, so then they could say, 'I don't know how to do it, but you should go somebody who does it.' [...]
"They don't think about the fact that down the road that this woman may want a large family. She may want six children. And when she comes back with her next pregnancy they're going to start to tell her the dangers of vaginal birth after Caesarean. And they'll probably scare her into having a repeat C-section.
"And then what's the risk to the mother after two C-sections? How about after three? How about after four? There's no consideration for that. Those risks are far greater than the risk that you mentioned of something going wrong in a home birth, in a properly chosen woman, with a skilled midwife at her side, in a system that values communication, that values continuity of care, that's completely different than the medical model."

Dr Stu: "One of the best things a woman can do is hire a doula who keeps her at home until she's almost ready to push, if she really wants to birth in a hospital. Because getting to a hospital early is one of the worst mistakes you can possibly make, because they will not leave you alone. They will interrupt you. You're not moving fast enough for them.
"They'll want to do vaginal exams. Completely unnecessary. In the home-birth world I was taught by midwives (and it took me a while to unlearn a lot of the doctor stuff that I learned in my residency, in my first five or ten years in practice) that vaginal exams are often unnecessary, most often unnecessary.
"The reason they're done is because of a silly thing that happened with something called a Friedman curve, which was a curve that was designed in the '60s, I believe, maybe the '70s, by a man named Emanuel Friedman, who came up with a labor curve. Now a labor curve is something that, you know, 'All first time moms should dilate at such-and-such a rate. Here's an average rate. And the average rate is about a centimeter an hour.'
"Well, how do you know if she's dilating a centimeter an hour unless your sticking your fingers in and checking? So vaginal exams became routine.
"But the other stupid thing about it is that that line that they drew is a median. Which means that half of all women labored slower than that. And half of all women labored faster than that. And yet if women are laboring slower than that, which is about 50% of women who had labored slower than that, that's considered abnormal. Do you understand how foolish that is?
"And those women got intervened upon. They weren't moving fast enough. We need to break your bag of waters. And to start pitosin. You're not moving fast enough.
"Since when is speed a value that nature desires? Speed is an artificial value that's been put in by the medical community. What difference does it makes if a woman is laboring for 12 hours or 22 hours, if that's what nature designed for her, and everything else is going fine?"
Jerm: "So you're saying induction should be left also to the mother?"
Dr. Stu: "I'm saying that there are medical reasons to be induced, and they need to be explained to the mother. And ultimately, by the way, it's still the mother's choice to do it or not. When a doctor says your baby isn't growing well and it should come out, the woman has the right to get a second opinion and the woman has the right to say, 'I understand what you're saying doctor, but I think my baby is doing fine. I can feel my baby moving. I'm feeling that my baby is fine.'
"And that woman may be wrong. And she has to accept the fact that if she's declining recommendations that she has to accept the consequences of her actions.
"And a lot of times, because of the legal system in my country (and probably in your country as well) women choose not to follow the directions, and then when something goes wrong, they want to blame somebody else for it. That has to stop, too. That's a problem that's part of the reason why the medical model is so intervention happy, because of the fears of liability. It's a very complex web that's been woven that drives these things. And again, an individual doctor is just stuck in that matrix and cannot get out."

Dr Jack Kruse: "It goes back to E=mc². Let's just go back there. Energy and mass are equivalent. Einstein said it. Right? So what does that mean? When you add another neutron to a proton, what does that mean for mass? It means it totally screws up the energy. It tells you that H⁺, protium, is more thermodynamically efficient than deuterium.
"That's the real reason the matrix and the ATPase was innovated by nature to use H⁺ and not deuterium. […] Remember, photosynthesis had to take the water in the hydrology cycle on this planet and create photosynthesis with it. Turns out when that water has high deuterium in it, the food that it creates also will have high deuterium in it. And the crop yields will be down. OK? In other words, it's not pro-growth.
"What does the mitochondria do? It reverses that process. But we don't make water with deuterium; we make deuterium-depleted water. So there is a difference in the mirror image of oxidative phosphorylation and what's going on with the RuBisCO enzyme.
"The difference is photosynthesis on earth can take all forms of water and create food with it. But it turns out mitochondria only want to use food that's been made by photosynthesis to turn it into deuterium-depleted water.
"And what does it do? The amount of water created from carbohydrates on a molar basis, let's get this straight. […] What connects the reality level through thermodynamics to quantum? There's only one thing. Avogadro's number. OK? Avogadro's number tells you how many atoms are in one mole of something. […]
"When you eat carbohydrates, equivalent molar issues will create 55% water in mitochondria. Proteins, around 70–75%. Fats, 100%. What does that tell you? Eating saturated fats from animal products creates more water in a mitochondria that is deuterium-depleted than eating carbohydrates.
"Why does that make fundamental sense? Because the hydrology cycle on earth is totally tied to this. Deuterium is at its highest level at the equator. It's at its lowest level where you live, up in the poles. It makes total sense why that would happen. When you have less light at the poles you need less mass to run the thermodynamics. That's the reason why past the boreal forest nothing uses photosynthesis. Nothing. The 59th and the 60th latitude is where photosynthesis gets extinguished.
"There's a lesson there for light people. There's a lesson there for deuterium people. There's a lesson there for physicists."

Dr Jack Kruse: "I don't really look at evolution as a good or bad process. When I make the comment about a cognitive devolution, Sara, I want to be clear about this. As a brain surgeon, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Hopefully I made that point to you when I tried to get you to think about cave paintings and Michelangelo.
"Without us wearing clothes, what's the collateral damage? We don't get Michelangelo's David. We don't get the Sistine Chapel. We don't get, whether you like it or not, Rothko. We don't get some of the modern artists, Kandinsky or things like that. Some people may say, 'Well, I don't like that anyway.' Well, that's OK.
"What I'm basically saying, that's really what Rick Rubin's book is about. It's about the catalog of what's possible in the real estate of the human frontal lobes. Because that's really what separates us from chimps, and melanin is what created that."
Dr Jack Kruse with Dr Sara Pugh on 2023-05-11 @ 01:34:59–01:35:57
Dr Jack Kruse: "If you really read my last blog, what did I say creativity was a function of? It's a regressive evolution. I believe that we became more creative just by wearing clothes. Everybody looks at creativity as a positive thing, like Rick does. I don't.
"I think it's actually shows us the devolution between Neanderthals to us. Neanderthals had 125 grams more tissue in their head. We have less. And what happened with Neanderthals when they left the East African Rift? They went to Europe, your latitude. What did they do? They started wearing skins. What's the first time we ever saw human creativity, ever? Cave paintings, when Neanderthals and humans both lived on the planet. That's where artwork came from. It came from a lower dopamine state from our original state.
"If you understand what I just said, are there levels north (or rostral) of human evolution? The answer is yes. I believe since Neanderthals, I believe since last 25,000 years, humans have been devolving. We have changed our frontal lobe's abilities. Most of the thing that you find interesting in the Louvre, in science and in art.
"There's a reason, Sara, they call them the Dark Ages. Remember, you're a UK girl, so you can go tomorrow into the museums. I hope you do this.
"When you go I want you to do it with this eye. Look on the wall about how artists painted with light in 1200s vs how they painted with it all the way up to Monet. You'll notice something startling. You'll also notice and have a new appreciation for Michelangelo and DaVinci's work. they were known as the artists that painted with light. Who was the first guy that innovated light? Rembrandt.
"You're going to start to see this story of that dopamine state. Then you're going to go back and look at those slides that I take from Alexander Wunsch and keep telling people look at the top: tyrosine, phenylalanine, T3, L-DOPA, melanin, dopamine and noradrenaline. What you're going to begin to realize from Noether's theorem, not only does that pathway work left to right, it works right to left.
"Right now you're a modern mammal, who your entire human existence, the entire history of humanity, has been lived when we're going the wrong way. How do you like that?"
Dr Jack Kruse with Dr Sara Pugh @ 01:20:15–01:22:58
Dr Sara Pugh: "What's the real cause of bipolar disorder?"
[…]
Dr Jack Kruse: "Maybe I can give it to you like this. I want you to think about all human mental illness as a bowling alley. The two gutters on either side, one is depression, that's the low dopamine state. Schizophrenia is the other gutter, that's the high dopamine state that's released chaotically.
"Bipolar disorder is in the middle but closer to schizophrenia. The reason for that is defects on the retinohypothalamic tract that go to the habenular nucleus, that then get relayed from the hypothalamus and the thalamus into the orbital frontal gyri, to affect the reward tracts. That's actively what happens. The single big effect is that tract is out of whack with the oscillations of the same tract that goes from the RPGs into the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
"To get bipolar disorder you have to have the hard tract (that I just gave you) plus you have to have the circadian mechanism completely broken. What people don't realize that the initial part from the retina into the hypothalamus is actually the same tract. Remember that the retinohypothalamic tract synapses in the SCN and the habenular nucleus. They're both the same; it means the gunshot is the same.
"But to get different diseases, what happens if one tract is out and the other one's not? OK? Or what happens if they're both out? That explains the difference. OK?
"With schizophrenia, it's the third tract, it's all those tracts that go from the thalamus that radiate up into the frontal lobes, they all have to be damaged. What you're basically seeing, I use the analogy in the podcast that it's almost like a train station. Which part of the train station is damaged on the line? You know that a line in the Underground in the UK has 20–30 stations. Well, what I'm saying to you is every mental disorder is damage to a different station along the tract from the eye (or the skin) all the way through.
"I haven't talked about the skin too much, because understanding from the eye is easier. But believe it or not, do I think there is an issue between the eye and the skin when you give it a mismatch, like just by wearing clothes you're much more likely to actually have a mental illness."
Dr Jack Kruse with Dr Sara Pugh @ 01:17:29–01:20:15
Dr Jack Kruse: "Most people don't realize why this story of autism is really important for people to understand because there's another physics part. This will probably be something that will tickle you because it brings you back to the magnetic part of the story.
"The human thalamus is where the alpha wave in the EEG comes from. OK? That wave is 7.83 Hz. That mimics the heartbeat of the earth. So via molecular resonance, the heartbeat of the earth that's created from the cathode ray of the sun hitting the anode with the magnetosphere around it (remember that that sun keeps magma flowing in the planet that creates Faraday's idea of a magnetic field), the magnetic field that's how it's informing your brain how things work through this thalamic relay.
"The caudal end of this retinohypothalamic tract, this story, the answers and parts are all there. This is the reason why defective sleep always comes, if you're on the rostral end it comes with alterations in vitamin A, the distal end it comes with problems related to the alpha wave. What sits in the middle of that pathway? I actually told you that in this podcast already: ATP, ADP, AMP to adenosine. Adenosine is the middle part.
"What stimulates adenosine? Red light. Bright huge intense red light stimulates adenosine. And the reason why, if there's any doctors that listen to this, they'll be stunned at this.
"On our crash carts for ATLS and ACLS (I'm talking about physicians), when somebody gets SVT (which is supraventricular tachycardia, that's a bad rhythm from an alien DC electric current in your heart), guess what the drug is you give? Adenosine. That tells the clinician immediately they have a problem with either vitamin A in the brain or they have a problem with the Schumann resonance in the thalamus. But none of them realize that."
Dr Sara Pugh: "Wow."
Dr Jack Kruse: "Exactly! It's kind of cool stuff."
Dr Jack Kruse with Dr Sara Pugh @ 01:15:26–01:17:25
Dr Sara Pugh: "[Your blog] says the autism rates are highest in the whole world in California. Yet you'd think it's the most educated, the most healthy and the most wealthy."
Dr Jack Kruse: "Well the reason why it's like that, […] the thesis that I laid out in that podcast, basically that the retinohypothalamic tract is the gun that shoots at melanin targets deep in the brain. I made the comment that anything with the name thalamus in it is a target of the retinohypothalamic tract.
"Well the distal end (in neurosurgery we call things caudal and rostral, rostral being the head, caudal being the tail), the tail end of the retinohypothalamic tract is the human thalamus. What does the human thalamus do? That's where all five senses congregate. They're all there. That's the defect that's in autism.
"What happens in the thalamus in the embryo? The thalamus undergoes what we call neurulation. Neurulation creates the hemispheres above. When you understand autism functionally, it's a defect in POMC biology that eliminates melanin somewhere in that tract so that neurulation is defective. This is the reason why the kids have a huge problem with sensation: being touched, sounds, bright lights, anything like that. […]
"You don't have a sense in your body that doesn't use melanin. When I told people in the blogs in the quantum engineering theory that you have to use light to hear, people couldn't believe it until I showed them a picture of the cochlea and then showed them papers that said I was right.
"Same thing is true with smell. That's why Turing is more right than the guys […] that got the Nobel Prize for the lock and key mechanism for smell. Same thing is true with Pacinian corpuscles and touch. Same thing is true with any sense. Melanin is the key semiconductor for sensation.
"When you understand that autism is a sensory deprivation, or how shall I say, almost a synkinesia or an akinesia of sensory abilities. Most people never take the next step where they go back and say, 'Well neurulation only occurs from the thalamus. So that's the reason why the defects are present between different parts of the hemisphere. That's the reason why there's a spectrum, because wherever the melanin defect is, is where the kid's going to be autistic the most.'"
Dr Jack Kruse with Dr Sara Pugh @ 01:12:18–01:14:16
Dr Sara Pugh: "I have a few [supplements] left that I like, like deuterium-depleted water, and I suppose bioidentical hormones like the sex ones or the other few things I think people might need when they're older. But then I just start to see through. And I feel bad for suggesting it to people. That's why the nonsense needs to stop."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I can't say that I disagree with that. I would tell you I think I said in the Rubin podcast that the only two supplements I can get behind are sunlight and deuterium-depleted water. Why? Because both of them are natural. Mitochondria makes it and the sun is the power source, as Rick likes to call in his book 'The Source,' that controls the whole show inside of ourselves."
