When does consciousness begin, inability to heal, inability to sleep Dr. Jack Kruse: "Is a baby conscious as soon as conception happens? If you look at the mechanism that I'm talking to you about, the answer is probably yes. But do we have any way to physically prove that right now? No. But I do believe, and I've told Alexis this, when we get to the point where we can make photomultipliers and place it inside a cell, and we can capture data off it, as soon as I know that vasopressin is active in a fetus, that's technically when consciousness really begins. That's when a baby is conscious of damage to it, to light stress to it, to, I don't know, say, an abortionist sticking materials inside the mother's uterus. You know, it's going to open up kind of all kinds of very interesting situations for people, not that I really focus in on that stuff. "But I think the story of this wiring diagram is the biggest story in the world right now. […] "The amount of the DC electric current is what controls your consciousness. If you have too much it, too much, guess what happens? You lose consciousness. That's actually what happens when we sleep every night." Sheryl Utal: "Yeah." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Do you know that people that have TBI, kind of like you did, actually do worse when you give them more oxygen? Do you know the reason why the Department of Defense, centralized medicine, and DARPA really like sleep apnea machines? Now you know why. Because guess what you're body is trying to tell you? Your body is trying to tell you when you have light stress, non-native EMF stress, oxygen is a toxin. Shocking, huh? So think about all people that went into covid in the hospital and what happened? What did we do? They all got worse when we gave them what?" Sheryl Utal: "Oxygen." Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] Because how you have to make the diagnosis, this is what a good decentralized MD does. Where is the original problem? The original problem is in your ability to make water adjacent to melanin sheets that dampens that bioelectric current to get it to the exact right place you need to regenerate. Anything that blocks that means that you cannot heal. It also means you won't be able to sleep." Dr. Jack Kruse with Sheryl Utal @ 23:17–24:30 & 26:12–28:02 (posted 2025-03-08)

Sheryl Utal: "What is your definition of consciousness?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Optimization of the interactions between melanin and water to limit mitochondrial DNA mutations. […] "Melanin, when it's hydrated, decreases electrical conductance. In other words, it takes a DC electric current and turns it into one trillionth of one amp. So what does that mean, young lady? "If you're around anything that increases melanin's bioelectricity, it means it destroys tissue. What's the number one thing that does that? What's the number one thing that destroys hydration around melanin? Sheryl Utal: "Non-native EMF." Dr. Jack Kruse: "You got it. The light that was in the casinos for your father. You want to know why his dopamine tracts were taken out in the frontal lobes? What else have I taught you if you were paying attention? "The leptin-melanocortin pathway stops in two places: SCN and the habenular nucleus. What does the habenular nucleus do? It's a relay station for the frontal lobes. That's where the dopamine tracts are. You want to know why your dad had the outcome he did? "Now here's the better thing. Your mom was drawn to your dad during this whole event. Guaranteed she was hanging around blue light, non-native EMF. What does that do to the egg that was in her ovary that eventually would become you? Raise the heteroplasmy rate. What have I taught you about heteroplasmy? Heteroplasmy means that your mitochondria can't make water as well, right, anywhere where this defect happens. […] The problem was in your pituitary gland that caused this problem here. But what you don't realize there's two effects. "The direct dehydration of melanin causes distal destruction of brain tissue. It causes a TBI." […] "When you remove water made at your mitochondria through the process of metabolism, melanin creates too much electricity, and that electricity burns out anything distal it's connected to in neural pathways. […] Most people don't know that melanin loses its conductance when it's hydrated. […] "When you create huge amounts of electricity, guess what happens? You become less conscious. Got it? In other words, you become brain damaged." Dr. Jack Kruse with Sheryl Utal @ 00:42–00:53, 07:38–09:48, 11:10–11:51 & 13:06–13:19 (posted 2025-03-08)

What are the causes of skin cancer, how to reduce mortality from cancer Max Gulhane, MD: "What are the causes of skin cancer? I'm going to explain my current thinking about this, and this isn't by any means complete, but it's how I'm thinking about it at the moment. And there's always going to be an interaction of genetic predisposition with environmental factors. So I always tell my patients that genetics loads the gun, and your environment, your choices, your lifestyle, it pulls the trigger. "What are the genetic predispositions? Those with pale skin types, those with less melanin in their skin, and very rare, very certain genetic syndromes (and there's one there called xeroderma pigmentosum, it's characterized by mutations that prevent those base excision repair enzymes, those DNA repair enzymes from working.) "So how do you marry this with lifestyle? Well it turns out if you have a disrupted circadian rhythm by looking at blue light all day, all night, and not enough full-spectrum sunlight during the day, you're going to impair DNA repair and the cancer defense mechanisms. If you have a low vitamin D level, and you're near infrared light deficient, you're not going to be making that antioxidant melatonin hormone. If you're imunosuppressed, transplant recipients have extreme high risk of developing melanoma skin cancer, and that explains because they're hamstringing their body's natural repair and immune surveillance mechanism. What else? "I haven't talked a lot about food, but it's an extremely common and recurrent anecdote that once people go carnivore, or they cut out polyunsaturated vegetable oils, seed oils, refined oils, that they find that they're prevented from burning. They're essentially resistant to the effects of UVB light. They're less photosensitive. […] We know that omega-3 and the DHA, the EPA fatty acids, they confer photoprotective benefits in the skin. As a society, we've collectively deviated from an ancestrally normal and appropriate omega-3 to 6 ratio, because everyone is undereating marine seafoods and everyone's overeating refined seed oils. So I think that is a key effect modifier for the development of skin cancer. What else? "Melanoma is unique, and we do see melanoma commonly in more younger people. Again, they're typically an indoor worker, they have low vitamin D. But it turns out that there's a photoreceptor system, the melanopsin non-visual photoreceptor system. This regulates melanocyte function. So if we're sitting in front of a blue-lit screen all day, and we're sitting under blue light, then this light is highly stimulatory to melanocytes. So I believe that the indoor environment is a key part of particularly melanoma diagnosis in younger people. […] "Let me discuss how we're going to use the sun to help reduce our mortality from cancer. So there's a couple of really general steps here, but what we want to do is we want to understand our ancestry. We want to understand our risk factors. We need to understand our ambient UV conditions, and we're going to titrate our sun exposure based on those things. We want to target a vitamin D level. Again, this is going to be a marker of our sun exposure to a certain amount, in approximately around 125 nmol/L. And obviously we're going to check for any suspicious lesions that might be forming as a result of an increased sun exposure habit." npub19yjldzc98lsesatjncxzgunm8xpdjsr5tva3sjc9ggyqsjh5hedst2unad @ 37:37–40:47 & 41:33–42:15 (posted 2025-05-31)

Kidney failure is caused by the vaccine, it's 150× more than myocarditis Dr. T: "You had mentioned before that myocarditis is only about 1% of vaccine-related, COVID-related deaths. You said that in an interview in February of 2024. A year later, do those numbers still hold? And is that still true?" John Beaudoin: "Yeah, it's still true. Myocarditis is real and it affects a lot of people. It goes unnoticed. And I do believe it's a very big problem. In fact, I stated two, three years ago that people are going to die 20, 30 years earlier than they otherwise would have, but they're not going to know it for 30 or 40 years. And it's not going to be attributed to the vaccine. If you scar something, it's less elastic, it's not going to last as long. And myocytes don't grow back, and you know more than I do. […] It's 1% of the deaths though, because a lot of deaths haven't happened yet. "The reason why I'm so bent on the myocarditis is because deaths involving acute renal failure. If you look at excess myocarditis versus excess acute renal failure, it's 150× more than myocarditis. 150× and goes down into the teenage years. So yeah, 150×. That's how many people, a quarter of a million people, excess, more than normal, died from acute renal failure in the United States in the last four years. I don't know why people aren't talking about it. I don't get it. I mean, strokes are worse than myocarditis. Pulmonary embolism, far worse than myocarditis, they're 30×. Right? […] Even cancers, […] I think it's around eight times more. […] That's specifically lymph node cancer. Yeah, it's a lot. Everything is more than myocarditis. "I believe that they selected myocarditis, they being whoever's in charge of social media, promotion, and suppression. They allowed those who were talking about myocarditis to have the platform, to have the ear of the people. Because hardly anybody knows anybody who died of myocarditis. We see some in the news, but you don't know anybody down the street. And when somebody down the street gets kidney failure and you don't attribute it to the vaccine, nobody's told them that, yes, kidney failure is caused by the vaccine, in addition to the hospital homicides and protocols that occur with remdesivir and so forth. But I've had people tell me, even now, in 2025, even within the past couple of weeks, 'Oh, thank you for telling me that the vaccine causes acute renal failure. I didn't know.' Like, I've been saying it for three years. I can't get the word out there and the doctors are all talking about myocarditis. And what that does is it plants in the mind of the viewer that it's extremely rare. So that's the problem."

The more your clock gets reset the better your health gets Dr. Brandy Victory: "I do personally wake up with the sun without an alarm clock, and I do usually go outside and look at the sun, and I do. . ." Dr. Jack Kruse: "You just said something here that's important. Do you know that fat people won't do that. You know why? Because their clock timing mechanism is off. "So what does that tell me about you? That means you're not leptin resistant. So this is important for your audience to hear, because when I was a neurosurgeon staying up all night operating on people, I didn't wake up. I had to have an alarm clock. Right now, for the last 17 years of my life, I don't need it, either. "But that's one of the mechanisms that when a patient comes to see me, how do I know they're getting better? That's one of the ways I know that they're doing pretty good. And this whole idea that biology fundamentally is tied to clock management. […] That circadian clock mechanism, when it's broken, it's controlled by light. Remember, anything that's controlled by light then gets the word slapped onto it 'quantum,' because that's exactly how light travels. It's by packets of energy. I didn't make that up. That was Max Planck and Einstein. […] "I want people to understand that every clock in the world, whether the clock is on your wrist, the side of your bed, in your eye, or in front of one of your genes on chromosome seven. What do clocks do? What does physics tell us? They are flow meters for entropy in a system, meaning they're flow meters for chaos. "So it turns out when you keep re-timing your clock and it gets a good periodicity, meaning it gets more accurate, […] the more your clock gets reset the better your health gets. […] "It means light through your eye every morning is more important than the food you eat! Why? Because that is the key to the periodicity of the clock timing mechanism. In other words, when you break your fast, light is always recalibrating the clock in your body. What does the clock in your eye control? It controls leptin and controls melatonin."

Psychedelics, psychedelic dreams, melanin renovation, get in the sun Dr. Sara Pugh: "It's back to this thing about the psychedelics. Say if I improve my redox and I have psychedelic dreams, am I not curing myself in the same way that people take psychedelics exogenously?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "I don't think so. I think what it's a remnant of is that you're now creating different frequencies of light on the VUV, UVC, UVB, and UVA spectrum inside. That's what it's a signal to me. Now that is total speculation on my part, but no, I would not equivocate those two because. . ." Dr. Sara Pugh: "Because dreams are very healing, and as you get older people. . . I ask my clients all the time about things like this and the older ones say their dreams are less colorful and worse. And then you know I'm again really interested in dreams and quality and I have noticed and you brought it back up again about the redox potential and having better dreams." Dr. Jack Kruse: "I've always dreamed in color." Dr. Sara Pugh: "Yeah, with more melanin. And that's why if you took psychedelics it probably wouldn't have such an effect because you're halfway sort of there anyway." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well I think my brain is. […] But remember, I'm 60 years old. So by Wallace's work I'm working on my seventh decade. My heteroplasmy rate should be pretty high. I don't take any medicines. None. For nothing. "And I sleep, like anybody who's ever been around me, you can ask my members, I go to sleep in, like this [snaps finger]. And I sleep straight through. I sleep like a rock. The members that have come with me to El Salvador are like shocked. I'll go to bed at eight o'clock and wake up with the sunrise the next day. And I've always slept really, really good. "I just personally think that when people get a benefit from the psychedelics it tells me that they got a big time melanin problem in their head. It's either that the melanin's not there or the other big one that I think, I think the biggest problem is melanin renovation. That's where the story gets important that I really didn't get into with the guys on the podcast, how we renovate melanin. That'll be coming down in my series down the pike. "But I think most people have been following me a long enough time probably know the answer: get in the sun. You gotta have UV light to do it."

EMFs are just another stressor on top of this toxic cake, adding to the noise Tristan Scott: "There's a lot of studies out there, and I would say the vast majority, if not all of them, like 80 to 90% of them that aren't funded by industry show harmful biological effects. And I would say this is kind of a very inconvenient truth for people. So I don't want to be like fear-mongering 'You're going to die because of all this 5G and Wi-Fi.' It's just another stressor on top of this toxic cake. We have the food, we have the plastics, we have the water, we have the lights, we have now the EMFs. It is another thing. "And in my opinion, the electromagnetic environment might be the most important, if not THE, because it's what we're consuming 24/7, 365 days a year. And the argument usually made against it is that 'Non-ionizing radiation isn't harmful.' And we already talked about studies of weak magnetic fields increasing risk of childhood leukemia. We looked at other studies for cell phone exposure risk. That's all non-ionizing. So I think that's without foundation. And I think that's just something that people use because that's what they've been taught. And it's like a blanket statement that is like 'Oh, there's no way.' And it's invisible, it's intangible, so people really can't understand the impact that it's having. But it's a low-level stressor that's present in the environment, it's disrupting your sleep, it's disrupting your cellular communication. "Your mitochondria are really the hub of communication and energy production. And think of it right? Like think of it like me and you are in this room. We're talking to each other. We can hear each other very clearly. It's a great conversation. Imagine if 50 people were in here. You think we'd be able to hear each other as clearly? Imagine if there's a hundred people in here. The signal to noise ratio because of this electromagnetic environment that's alien has never been lower. There's all this noise going on. "And our body is using electromagnetic fields to communicate, to drive cellular processes. And when we have these non-native input signals, that becomes distorted. And then we get timing interruptions, we get just, there's trillions of cellular reactions and functions being executed like every second. "And to me that's how people should think about this, is that there's so much noise going on, and it's constantly keeping us in this sympathetic dominant fight or flight state, so you really never have that chance to be in the state you're meant to be, and fully relax and executing functions normally. At the lowest level our biology is electromagnetic." npub1yd2h2lrwchshvm46jq7auh65tjkxmgnapkavh7tjtqq07kknupxsa980tv with Danny Jones @ 01:45:10–01:47:49 (posted 2025-04-21)

Glutaraldehyde fails to clean tissue from endoscopes leaving a dark reddish-brown coating Dr. Joseph Mercola: "The primary tool that's being used to screen for colon cancer […] is a flexible sigmoidoscopy or an colonoscopy. […] They're not disposable, so they have to be […] sterilized. […] The sterilization process does not sterilize. […] "Were the scopes mostly the flexible sig scopes, or the colonoscopes, or both?" David Lewis, PhD: "Both, and a variety of other scopes, like bronchoscopes for looking in the lung, […] gastroscopes […] to look inside the stomach as well the esophagus. […] "Glutaraldehyde […] is like formaldehyde, it's just a smaller molecule. […] The most common procedure for cleaing a scope involves […] 2% glutaraldehyde. […] Somewhere in the range of 80% of the time glutaraldehyde is used for disinfecting endoscopes." Dr. Joseph Mercola: "And it doesn't work. […]" David Lewis, PhD: "It not only doesn't work, it complicates the problem. What glutaraldehyde does is the same thing formaldehyde is used for preserving frogs. It doesn't dissolve the tissue, the blood, the bits of flesh that are trapped inside flexible endoscopes. It actually preserves them so they build up over time. You're exacerbating the cleaning problem when you use glutaraldehyde. "The other alternative, which is used on (at least the last time I checked several years ago) about 20% of the flexible endoscopes in the United States, were reprocessed using peracetic acid. […] That acid will dissolve proteins, which is what you want to do. […] "You can go into a endoscope repair shop today, any one of them, and whoever's working there repairing and cleaning those scopes, […] you ask that person, can they tell a scope that's been used peracetic acid or glutaraldehyde, they all can. You can see it with a naked eye. In a flexible endoscope that peracetic acid is used to clean, […] the coating in that tube is as white today after years of use as it was when that scope was bought. "On the other hand, you look at any other scope in those tubes, […] what you will see is a very dark, reddish-brown coating. It's no longer white. It's very dark reddish-brown. That is a coating of patient material. "Say they want to take a biopsy and they run forceps through that biopsy channel. That sharp metal biopsy forceps that's going down that channel is scraping that patient material off, and it's being discharged down into the inside of the patient, in the colon, the stomach, the lungs, wherever that the biopsy is being taken. […] "If you can't clean a device, you can't disinfect it. It's as simple as that. Because the disinfectants can't permeate, they can't diffuse through those hardened layers of patient material." […] "So what I do is simply check when my doctor wants to do a procedure involving a flexible endoscope. […] "I go in and ask, 'How do you clean these devices between patients? How do you clean your scopes between patient use' and I'll go listen to their answer."

The basics Sherrill Sellman, ND: "Let's go back to basics for those listening or watching for the first time. What are some of your prescriptions for reconnecting with the essential healing powers that nature has endowed us with?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well probably the number-one one, I think we've talked about this one before when you've had me on your podcast. If you want to follow the Pareto principle of being a black swan mitochondriac, we can cut straight to the chase. If you do this every day of your life you will have the greatest impact on your health. It's actually seeing the sunrise. So that's 80% of the game. Everything else after that one point, I'm going to tell you that it's important, but if you get that one thing right that's the key. "The reason for that is the sunrise actually is what starts your circadian mechanism. Your circadian mechanism actually controls certain biogenic amines that are in your body that control your mitochondrial change program. […] "There's only two change programs in mitochondria. One is called apoptosis, the other one's called autophagy. And it turns out that AM sunlight is vitally linked to the efficiency of both of those programs. And apoptosis is when you get rid of bad engines in your body that don't make energy. That's usually what happens in people that have diabetes, cancer or the chronic diseases we talked about in the past. And then there's another one which is called autophagy, and that process is when you recycle the bad engines, rebuild them so that you can make good energy again."

Raise blood glucose with just light Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, people need to know though, Max, that diet is light. Diet is light.

Blue light dumbs Rebecca Hargraves: "I heard you explain how blue light makes us dumb. If we could start there, if you could talk a little bit about blue light and why it's affecting us negatively, how it's affecting us negatively, that would be a great start." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Modern life has replaced the sun with blue light. Technology fundamentally brings you inside. The effect of blue light is multifocal and varied. What does it do? It increases your blood sugar and your insulin without you eating food. It also destroys your DHA levels that come from seafood on […] your outer mitochondria membrane and all the membranes in you so that you can't accurately tell time. It affects your melatonin level, which also affects your ability to tell time. It also hinders your ability to fight inflammation, and it actually causes you to get older, where it affects your ability to think. "When dopamine and melatonin are impacted by blue light, there's a central retinal pathway in your eye that goes into your brain. It has no synapses. It goes to two places. One I've already covered, which is the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which is the clock that controls everything in your body. But the second relay center is the habenular nucleus, which controls your frontal lobes. And that's how you get dumbed down."

Refractive index in tissues, timing, disease, pollutants, supplements, vaccines Dr. Jack Kruse: "The refractive index in tissues, people don't realize that this is also tied to timing, this is a guy named Fermat, Fermat's law. When you change the optical density of a tissue, what are you effectively doing? You're changing how light can flow in that tissue. So based on the question that you've asked me, 'Jack, does that mean that when we change the optical density (or the refraction) that we're changing timing in the tissue?' The answer is yes, you are. That's precisely what's happened. "If you look and distill down Pollack's book, remember what he said in his original studies that the refractive index of water, once infrared light hit it was 270 nm. […] I said, 'Don't you find it kind of interesting that when infrared light, which is red light, low powered, you know, 600 to 1100 (technically goes up to 3100), but when it hits water it changes the refractive index in the UV range?' You didn't need UV stimulus to do that. You used low-power light to change the optical density of water. […] "I think when you think about how I think about time, and how I think about light, and how I think about refractive indexes, you're going to realize OK, when I put that water in my field in Arkansas, and the red light is changing it, well what happens because that water is outside and there's also blue, there's also UV, there's also green, there's also orange? Like there's a cornucopia in there. How does that change the refractive index of water? […] Sunlight is going to have way different effect than full spectrum bulbs. […] I mean you know that. […] "That's actually now testable in food, because you've heard me say if you cut a sweet potato and you bring it to Whole Foods they can use an optical scanner to find out how many biophotons are emitted from that food. And then they'll pay you the extra 30–40% because you effectively have grown that in the sun. You've proved to them that there's not pesticides in there. So like when you hear Bobby Kennedy talk about atrazine, what are we really saying? When you put atrazine in a system, or glyphosate in a system, you're changing the optical refraction. So what does that mean? It slows or speeds light up in the tissue. That's effectively what pollution is. "So you've probably read a lot of the papers recently that come out if you live close to a golf course you can get Parkinson's disease. Well what is that telling you? Time is being slowed down in different places and that breaks down the melanin in the wrong in places in them, and that manifests the disease. Isn't that the same kind of story that we talked about your kid's cancer? In other words, it destroys the ZIP Code in that area. "And then when you think about some of the pollutants in food. Well if you get some of those pollutants and food from chemicals, agricultural chemicals that you use, what effectively are you really saying to the end consumer? 'Yes, I grew this food. You have calories that you can sustain yourself, but some of the stuff you're going to eat from me is going to change the refractive index in you.' Is that not the same thing that happens with supplements? Is it not the same thing that happens with vaccines? People think it has to be the chemical. The crazy thing, Logan, all it takes to to affect us is the atom." Dr. Jack Kruse with Logan Duvall @ 28:40–33:12 (posted 2025-05-26)

Blue light at night deadly, sunlight, α-MSH, appetite control, get fat Dr. Jack Kruse: "It turns out that blue light exposure, especially at night, and I have a name for that, I call it ALAN, it stands for artificial light at night. ALAN is deadly for both the gut and for the brain. The reason for that is blue light in sunlight is contained in the seven colors of the spectrum. The control arm for blue light happens to be red light. The secondary control arm happens to be UVA and UVB light, which is ultraviolet A and B. Those control arms are not present everywhere where you are on the planet. So it means that this variation that you see in your world, in the microbiome, is tied to actually how the microbiome can be sculpted. "Because one of the things we now know definitively, we believed in the last five or six years that the microbiome is really affected by food, and we're starting to find out that that's not really true. It turns out it's really sculpted by the latitude and the light that you get the sense on. Where does that might come from? It comes from your eye, it comes from your skin, it comes from the gut surface itself, and that's what sculpts the microbiome. That sculpting that goes on in the gut is also sculpted in the brain to marry up with the story about POMC in the eye, the story about dopamine, the story about β-endorphin, the story about the endocannabinoids that are made from POMC, also α-MSH. And it turns out α-MSH controls your appetite. "So here you begin to see the connection between this whole area. When you really understand the eye well, especially if you're a gut person, you need to understand how the eye and the gut really link. It turns out the central retinal pathways, when you first get light in there, where do they end? They end in the leptin receptor. Here's the irony. Where is leptin in the human body? It turns out it's in subcutaneous fat. So you start to ask yourself, 'Why in the hell would God or nature put the key hormone in our body in our subQ fat if it acts in the hypothalamus?' It turns out here's the reason: because light on your skin and your eye is what activates or deactivates the whole process. "So if you do not get that stimulus properly, like Jack didn't being a neurosurgeon for 25 years, eventually it could lead some collateral effects down the road. It turned out the collateral effect for me was becoming a fat ass. And then one of the things that I realize is that blue light exposure was the cause of the problem."

β-endorphin, sunlight, blue light, nnEMF, obesity, who packs your parachute Dr. Jack Kruse: "One of the chemicals that is made from POMC is called β-endorphin. That's the natural opiate in your body. It's not very strong, but guess what? It's designed to be quantized by the type of light that you live in. So it turns out when you're in sunlight you have no need to want to use heroin or any other kind of drug. Why? Because the sun is your drug, because it makes the β-endorphin naturally from POMC. "It turns out when you're Kurt Cobain and you live in Seattle where it's always cloudy, your gigs are always at night in blue light, and you're around electrified instruments, when you're 25 years old you get the idea that maybe you need to date Courtney Love, shoot heroin up, and then blow your brains out, because you never made enough β-endorphin in your body. So you had to use the exogenous one that doesn't have the same quantized effects. So what happens? You use more of it and your thinking gets worse. "Well let's jump right away to obesity. What I did say to you before? Blue light causes obesity. Well guess what? You use more opiates in that case. When it comes to the addiction of food you eat more food when you're blue light toxic. Why? Because you don't have the sun as part of that controlling mechanism. And it turns out one of the other chemicals that's made from POMC actually controls your appetite. "And people don't know this basic stuff. They listen to, to be politically incorrect, bullshit from people on the internet that don't know enough. And that's part of the reason why hopefully people will listen to this and understand why embracing the chaos is good. You want your doctor to be able to pack your parachute. If that doctor doesn't know some of this information that we're talking about today, do you want that person actually innovating your solution to your current problem when you don't understand this? If they don't have any awareness that this science actually exists, it's published, how good a mechanic are they for you? That's the question for you to ask."

Autism, PBM, DDW, sun, tropical environment Dr. Jack Kruse: "No child with autism should be on any supplements at all. In fact, the number one supplement you already mentioned, probably PBM. I can get behind DDW, too. Those two things I think are wise, but the best thing to do is take your coconut tree that's got small coconuts that's not working too good and put it in a better environment and watch what happens to this kid. You will be absolutely stunned. "And the beautiful part of this story, it'll piss some parents with autism off. But what am I telling you: that you can fix the problem you caused. All you have to do is get out of your own way and understand that the program is built into you. You can still drive the neurulation program postnatally as long as you understand how it works. And it turns out that that program works on biophysics; it doesn't work on biochemistry. And that's been the big lie that's been sold to people. And I understand that they want to blame the vaccines. I'm okay with it, because it's definitely an adjunct that adds to the mix by changing the ultraweak biophotons. But if you never get to this biophoton level you'll never understand why autism is a transgenerational epigenetic effect of light." Dr. Brandon Crawford: "Your signal broke out just a little bit when you were talking about the two things that you may recommend. I heard deuterium-depleted water. I didn't hear the other thing." Dr. Jack Kruse: "And photobiomodulation." Dr. Brandon Crawford: "Perfect. OK." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Those are the two supplements that I think everybody who's got autism should use. why? They're cheap, they're easy to do. Ultimately, you know what I'm going to tell them: I want them in the sun because that's the best way to get back to Becker's current to rejump-start the program to fix what didn't finish in neurulation. Because when you do that, we don't need to screw around with that program. It's still active. We still have neuroplasticity. As adults, the problem is the stimulus isn't as great. You're not making the light that you would normally make in a hypoxic uterus, because you're not surrounded by amniotic fluid, your ductus arteriosus is open, you still have your umbilical cord. What I'm telling you, that's the reason why tropical environments are usually important because the regenerative program in postnatal life uses UV and IR light. Therein lies the difference."

Hypothyroidism, Parkinson's, melanoma, melanin inside, talking, autism, myelin, POMC Dr. Jack Kruse: "Do you know that the myelination problem for hypothyroidism, the most common disease it links to is Parkinson's disease. And then you know what else Parkinson's and hypothyroidism links to that nobody likes to talk about? Melanoma. Do you know that people that have these diseases have defects in their dopamine neurons and their melanin. Everybody knows that, but did you know the reason fundamentally why? Because the iron incorporation into melanin is blocked at a fundamental level. That's how these people get this problem. It turns out that melanin has a very, very unusual unconjugated atomic structure that allows it to do the things that it does. "One of the key things that melanin does for us, you know that it makes ROS. ROS actually increases ultraweak biophotons in the UV range. That's actually where our complexity comes from. So why are we the silly talking monkeys that has melanin inside our brain when our nearest relatives have most of their melanin on the outside of their body? That's the reason they don't have frontal lobes. It's also the reason they don't talk. So what does that tell you about kids with autism? That means that they have to have a fundamental defect in iron biology, oxygen biology, that affects melanin inside of them. Because it turns out the melanin directs those neurons where to go in the brain. "And the same reason why you can't make T3 and T4 is because the leptin-melanocortin pathway, which goes right through your eye into that anterior pituitary, so you're beginning to see how all these things link. Your foray into this is very, very good, because this is the reason why people that have Parkinson's disease have a myelin problem. Most people don't realize this, the more demyelination they get the worse their cognition is. "You know that people have Parkinson's are very much like autistic people, meaning that there's a spectrum of how bad cognition is in Parkinson's. Some people have zero problems with cognition. Well that tells you that they don't have a big problem with myelination. More of their problem is on the melanin side than the myelin side. When you think about that, I want you to think about kids with autism, because they have defects not only in the myelin side but also in POMC as it migrates in different places. "And all you have to do to get out of nature's way is to put these kids in UV and IR environments. If you take those kids out of Jersey and out of Southern California, and you do the biohack [went to Costa Rica for about three months] that you did with your family, you fixed a fundamental myelin, iron, oxygen problem using light. That's really my message, Brandon, for most of the people that deal with neurodegeneration and neurodevelopmental issues. This idea, where did I get it? The biology of the great oxygenation event."

Mitochondrial damage, autism, repair the damage Dr. Jack Kruse: "In the centralized paradigm, especially when it relates to autism, […] everybody just wants to say, 'Oh well, it's the vaccines.' Well, it's not! The vaccines are downstream of this effect. Do they definitely exacerbate the situation? No question about it. Why? Because they're mitochondrial toxins. […] "I want you to look at my two fingers. This [left index finger] here is NAD, this [right index finger] is oxygen. So I just described to you the inner mitochondrial membrane. What's this [where the left index finger touches the right index finger] here? This is all the cytochrome proteins. OK? Inside these two pointer fingers is a 30 million volt charge. OK? That's normally what delta-psi is. What keeps that charge in? […] Turns out heme proteins called CCO. So cytochrome C oxidase does two things. […] It creates deuterium-depleted water, which is the insulator around my fingers. OK? What's the other thing it does? It controls apoptosis. "When something comes along, let's say an MMR vaccine, it does this [pulls right index finger up and away from left], and the 30 million volt charge leaks out, so it's like a lightning bolt at the nano-, atto- or femto- level. It follows the electrical resistance in the tissue to damage things distally. "So what's the goal? The goal is to renovate the heme protein so that never happens. That is the key step that happens in the great oxygenation effect, the innovation and evolution of heme proteins. So most people don't even know that cytochrome C oxidase, which controls apoptosis, because if you think about, it makes sense when this [pulls right index finger up and away from left] is broken that the body wants to get rid of that cell right away. "That's exactly the reason why when you let that charge leach into the cell, you're discharging the battery, you're damaging everything distal to it. Do you think that that cell can migrate from the thalamus out to the cortex? The answer is no, it can't. "Well, what happens if that cell never is taken out because apoptosis is broken? Do you think that that might affect other cells around it during the process of migration? The answer is yes. Why? How do we know that? Already in mitochondrial biology there's something called the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Guess what? Apoptosis can happen internally, but if another cell adjacent to it sees that cells around it are broken, they also undergo apoptosis. Well my friend, what does that mean if all the heme proteins in the stem cell that got fertilized has that defect? Voilà! You have autism. That's how it occurs, because it affects migration. "And if you can't keep [the inner mitochondrial membrane] intact, can you myelinate? The answer is no. It's impossible. You can't use the TCA cycle. The TCA cycle has to have optimal renovation of heme proteins, which is the reason why if you've been following me on Twitter, on my blog long enough, what do I tell you is the single most important thing to do for your health? Sunrise. Why is that? Because sunrise has the highest quality red light. […] When that happens you're constantly renovating every single heme protein so that it can effectively use oxygen well." […] "Kids that have neurodedevelopmental delay can't [use oxygen]. This is the reason why they're always drawn to carbs, because guess what? That runs other programs. So what are they telling you? They have a Warburg metabolism in their brain, because their brain cannot use and burn fat. So it's incumbent upon you to understand that little wiring diagram I just showed you and why it happens. OK? "How do you change the oxidation state of iron to be able to use the TCA cycle? This is the most shocking part of the story. It's not with food. You do it with light. So do you know what you know what blue light does to iron? Turns it to a +3 state. That's the reason why these kids have a problem. That's why their parents have a problem. Guess what red light does? It turns it to a +2 state. "So what you need to do is you need to get their circadian biology right, light and dark cycles, because that's how it starts. Then what you do is you renovate their heme proteins every day, not with your light in the clinic. You tell the parents, you're gonna get this kid up and you're gonna walk him on the beach. You're gonna get him out here in the sun. And the worse the autism is, the more they need to do. So it's not 15 minutes for these people. Like you and me can do 15 minutes. Some of these kids need to do three, four, five, six hours. So does that mean the nuclear family may have to break up and daddy has to stay home in Southern California or New Jersey while mommy goes down to the Riviera Maya, or Costa Rica, or Mexico? The answer is yes. "Is that inconvenient? Yes, but you chose to have the fucking kid to begin with. Sorry. […] When you have a child and the kid has a problem, the child is primordial. You need to do everything possible to fix this problem. And when people tell me that we don't know how to fix these problems it infuriates me, because we do know. It's just not well known. And there's the difference." Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Brandon Crawford @ 06:28–06:46, 43:05–46:17 & 49:21–51:35 (posted 2025-06-06)

Heavy metals, depression, fat, methylation defect, riboflavin, blue light, sun, sulfation Dr. Jack Kruse: "When things get sulfated there's two big things that go on in your liver. You've probably heard about methylation and detoxification. Those things are heavily dependent on sulfating proteins your body. For example, the accumulation of metals in your body, many of the functional medicine doctors are out there telling people […] if you eat too much tuna you're gonna get mercury, which is total bullshit. The real problem happens if your microbiome is off, and your methionine cycle is off. Your methionine cycle needs the sulfation to clear heavy metals. You know what that means? "You don't even need to eat a lot of things with methylmercury in it at all. If the sulfation process is broken in your microbiome, over your life you will become a net collector and can't get rid of the heavy metals. Guess what else happens if you're not sulfated? You actually develops the methylation defect. […] "There's another B vitamin in the gut that's really important. It's called riboflavin. Riboflavin is B2. Guess what? B2 is a cofactor in all these sulfation pathways that we're talking about. Do you know what kind of chromophore riboflavin is? Remember I gave you a clue before. I said cytochrome II, FADH2 is a flavin. All flavin's are what? Blue light chromophores. […] "Riboflavin, when you look at it also has a photon trap, but it has three benzene rings. […] It's got nitrogen in its rings. That's the reason why it's a blue light detector. And guess what the microbiome likes to release? Lots of blue light. Guess what turns on this riboflavin context to help methylation, detoxification, and also clearance of heavy metals from the methionine cycle? That process. When that process in the microbiome is broken this whole thing starts to fall apart. […] "People who live in a tech world, that have blue light, who don't go in the sun, they'll begin to start out in depression, they'll get fatter, they'll start accumulating metals, they'll have methylation defects. Does that sound like some of the the dominant diseases that we have that are out there? "And it all starts from the surface changes. And that's why one of the counterintuitive things that you've probably heard me say over time is that with time I believe it will be proven that what happens on our surfaces, meaning the skin, the eye, the gut, and the lung is gonna determine the biochemistry that occurs below. And what I'm telling you is the biochemistry that's going on in the gut is radically different depending on the incident light EMF, because it has to do with the free radical signal that's made. And it turns out that you have to turn on riboflavin. And if riboflavin is not in your diet, why? Because blue light will destroy it. That's one of the causes of leptin resistance. Then it turns out that your microbiome simplifies. That's how Jack got fat." Dr. Jack Kruse with Kriben Govender and Jame Shadrach @ 36:24–40:38 (posted 2019-03-11)
