Darkness at night is really important. Sleeping just one night in a low-lit (10 lux) environment can impair melatonin production, impair sleep quality, increase insulin resistance markers, decrease HRV, increase fasting glucose. Reducing non-native EMF exposure at night important, too. How to reducing nnEMF exposure Shawn Stevenson: "Let's talk about darkness in relationship to our biology." Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yeah. Our biology is a decentralized system, meaning there's not one centralized single controller. Light is not more important than dark, dark is not more important than light. They are equally important for regulating and co-controlling the system. […] Making that serotonin from getting bright, full-spectrum light during the day is going to tee you up to be able to make ample amounts of melatonin later because that serotonin actually […] gets converted into melatonin in the pineal gland, which then helps you go to sleep and get good quality sleep: […] deep sleep, REM, all the things. "So that darkness at night is really important, but most people don't sleep in dark environments. Some people, God forbid, sleep with the TV on or lights on. And there was a really powerful study that came out, I believe in 2021, that showed even very low levels of light in the sleeping environment, under 10 lux, are able to actually mess with your melatonin production and impair your sleep quality. And the next morning, the people who were exposed to even low levels of light had increased insulin resistance markers, decreased HRV, increased fasting glucose. That's from just a single night of sleeping in a low-lit light environment during sleep. Now, imagine if you do that every single night. You're literally fomenting mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance on a day-to-day basis. "The other thing I want to hone on here with regards to dark darkness at night is the light that we can't necessarily see with our eyes. That is also important. […] The light I'm referring to there is non-native EMF, which are primarily radio frequencies in the modern world, so this would be our Wi-Fi, 5G, Bluetooth, 4G, LTE, all those things. […] "Dr. Allan Frey's work showed that in the radio frequency range of like our 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth that you can actually open up the gut and blood-brain barriers, make them leaky. And then when you have these hyperpermeable membranes, we start to get things moving through these membranes that shouldn't be. So we get more systemic inflammation because now basically, our microbiomes become dysbiotic. We're getting leaking of lipotoxin and endotoxin from bacteria into the bloodstream, fomenting inflammation in the fat tissue and in the organs. With regards to the blood-brain barrier, that hyperpermeable blood brain-barriers is associated with brain fog, psychological mood disorders, cognitive decline, all of these things. […] "When it comes to non-native EMFs, the most important thing to understand is the inverse square law. This is a physics concept that basically says that the closer you are to a source of EMFs, the stronger the stimulus will be. So, whenever you can put some space in between you and the source, you're going to be benefiting yourself. So that would include putting your Wi-Fi router in a room you don't spend time in, or better yet, using Ethernet vs. Wi-Fi, not keeping your cell phone in your pocket, not putting your laptop on your lap, reducing proximity wherever you can. "And then wherever you can't, there's technology and stuff out there now that you can use to help mitigate those frequencies. So like EMF-blocking paint, curtains, clothing, like there's a lot out there. The best thing to do is reduce proximity, but when you can't, you can go these other options to try to block the frequencies."

Indoor lighting tenfold less bright than sunlight. Bright light needed to make serotonin, needed to feel upbeat. UVA in sunlight sets local circadian clocks. Blue light sets master clock Shawn Stevenson: "Is the average person light deficient?" Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yeah, I would say we're not only deficient in specific wavelengths of light that you would find within sunlight, in particular, UV and infrared, and red to a certain extent as well, but we're also deficient in total brightness. […] People may not know that serotonin is made in the pineal gland. Serotonin gives us feelings of connection, kind of, you know, feeling upbeat, feeling motivated in a different way than dopamine in some ways, but it's more of a social neurohormone that plays really important roles in how we move through the world. […] Its production is stimulated in the pineal gland in response to not only the right parts of the light spectrum, including UVA, but also total brightness is very important when it comes to stimulating beneficial neurochemistry that makes us alert, awake, able to learn, able to have an upbeat mood, etc. "If we're living an indoor lifestyle, most people aren't experiencing more than 10,000 lux of light at a given time. (Lux is a measure of brightness.) […] Bright light is really, really important for stimulating serotonin production in the brain. And if we're outside on a bright sunny day midday, we're talking upwards of 100,000 lux or more compared to the max around 10,000 lux that you would experience if you're in an indoor environment. […] A lot of people are walking around or living in indoor environments during the day that are around 1,000 to 5,000 lux. At best, you're looking at around 10,000 lux. Outdoors, if you're out on a sunny day or even a cloudy day, you're looking at 50,000 to 100,000 lux, so you're looking at a tenfold difference." Shawn Stevenson: "Holy moly. So, so many of us, especially not on a consistent basis, aren't getting bright light, period." Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yep. Exactly. So, that's number one. The brightness of the light is a problem. "Number two is the spectrum of the light. […] Even just simply cracking windows, if you're able to do that, letting that full-spectrum light in is going to make a difference with regards to this. The UVA component of light is also really important. UVA stimulates a photoreceptor on our skin and eyes and other parts of the body as well called neuropsin. Neuropsin is specifically a UVA light detector. It is a protein receptor that's on our surfaces that's looking for UVA light. That's why I always kind of like laugh when I hear the dermatologists and ophthalmologists saying you need to avoid UV light at all costs when our bodies are literally coated with a UVA light-sensing protein that is looking for the stimulus to help set local circadian clocks. […] "Blue light through the eyes, […] and through our systems in general, is kind of what's telling our body what time it is. […] The back of our eye, the retina, is directly connected to a structure within the hypothalamus in the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus or the SCN. This is the master timekeeper for the body, the master clock. And so the blue light comes in through the eye, stimulates the retina, is propagated back to the hypothalamus to the SCN. That master clock gets set. It says, 'OK, based on the intensity of this blue light, it's XYZ time of day.' Then the downstream effects are we're basically telling the peripheral clocks throughout the rest of the body, 'OK, this is what time it is.'" […] "And I want to definitely talk about UVB light as well as well as red and infrared. […]" Dr. Alexis Cowan with Shawn Stevenson @ 08:27–12:29 & 14:10–14:13 (posted 2025-11-13)

Cell towers in the US may be placed on top of schools, hospitals or nursing homes despite being acknowledged that these are particularly harmful for people who are developing, sick or fragile. It's like the regulatory agencies don't care. We have to look out for ourselves Shawn Stevenson: "Sometimes we're trading one problem for another problem, and not […] putting human biology as the priority, right, when we're making things. All right? Because we're part of nature." Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yeah, and we have to, because our government's not going to do it for us. It's like the regulatory agencies do not care. They're actually making a killing by us being sick and broken down and dumbed down. Actually, if you look at some European countries, including Italy, Switzerland, France, and Russia, they all have much more strict policies as it relates to 5G towers and non-native EMFs. For example, here in the States, the cell companies can legally put a cell tower on top of a school, a nursing home, a hospital, you name it. It is criminal. It is criminal. If you look at the policies and the legality overseas in those countries that I just listed, they are not allowed to do those things. So it is acknowledged that these are particularly harmful for people who are sick, fragile, developing, but we're choosing to selectively ignore certain information here at the level of the regulation at least because it's inconvenient. And so we have to look out for ourselves because nobody is going to come to save us in that department. "And like you alluded to, not knowing about it and choosing ignorance is not going to protect you from these exposures. They have biological effects that are independent of What You Believe To Be True. And so doing our best to inform ourselves and reduce proximity and exposure when possible is the best approach to make in this kind of very hyper-novel, modern world that we're living in."

A healthy tan helps to protect your internal organs from non-native EMF exposure. Melanin absorbs virtually every wavelength of light, except near infrared Shawn Stevenson: "Can you talk about some things that we can do to insulate ourselves, to protect ourselves? Maybe even if we're in an electric vehicle, like is there anything that we can possibly do to make it a little bit less toxic for ourselves?" Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yeah. […] I mentioned that melanin can absorb UV light and it can use that to bioenergetically power mushrooms, people, other organisms. I mentioned that they can absorb gamma rays, these mushrooms in Chernobyl. But what I didn't mention is that melanin absorbs virtually every wavelength of light. The only exception is in the near infrared range. It actually allows near infrared light to pass through, which allows even a melanated individual to receive a lot of those nourishing rays deep in their systems. "The purpose of me mentioning that is that the more melanin you have on your surface, the more you're able to absorb radio frequency waves, for example, and prevent them from interacting in deeper tissues of your body. So despite the fact that mainstream dermatology will say there's no such thing as a 'healthy tan,' in the modern non-native EMF soup, melanin is an incredible sponge for these frequencies to help protect your internal organs from exposure. So that's a really important one." Dr. Alexis Cowan with Shawn Stevenson @ 53:24–54:45 (posted 2025-11-13)

Melanin is able to make energy for you when stimulated by high energy UV rays. Human photosynthesis is looking like it's a real thing. If you can harness your melanin in a high UV environment you can excel at aerobic activities Shawn Stevenson: "I don't want to leave this spot without talking about melanin, because we just think it's, you know, it's a chocolate factory. . ." Dr. Alexis Cowan: [laughs] Shawn Stevenson: ". . . to make us a little bit darker, and all the things, and get a nice tan, and to be just kind of, even superficially in a way, just sun protection, but it's far more than that. I'm passing it back to you. Tell us about it." Dr. Alexis Cowan: "Yes. Thank you so much for uh bringing it back because it's one of the most important parts of the light story in my opinion because it sheds a lot of light on like the evolutionary history of our species and how we were sculpted. So if you look at the cradle of humanity, it's thought to be in Eastern Africa, kind of in this rift in this area, and that's where humanity is thought to have emerged from. That part of the world is highly associated with very dark melanination at the level of the skin and the eyes. And a lot of people will think of that as, 'Oh, if the UV rays are really high we need to protect ourselves from that by creating more melanin. This is purely a protection factor.' "But the work of Dr. Arturo Solis-Herrera is increasingly shedding light on the fact that melanin is not simply playing a role in protection, that it's actually able to make free energy when it's stimulated by high energy UV rays, and that energy is able to power our biology, to a certain extent. Obviously you need to still eat food, but human photosynthesis, it's increasingly looking like it's a very real thing. […] "And it turns out that if you're able to harness that UV light through your melanin, you can totally kick butt at pretty much any aerobic activity, because your body has access to far more free energy than a counterpart who doesn't have that level of melanin and UV stimulation, because you're just basically missing one-third of the bioenergetic equation (and we could talk about the other third which has to do with grounding and electrical connection to the earth and availability of electrons through that.) But food is only one-third of that equation. So if you can harness your melanin in a high UV environment, you can totally kick butt at basically any sort of athletic activity, but in particular aerobic activities.

Decentralized health is light, water and magnetism. Light is most important. You need to see the sunrise. Blue light after sundown is probably the biggest cause of all chronic health maladies Tone Vays: "I've watched about three or four of your longer format interviews of other podcasters, and I have follow-up questions. […] We're going straight to: In your view, the most important thing to human health is sunlight." Dr. Jack Kruse: "I wouldn't say sunlight. I'd say for decentralized health it's light, water and magnetism. You have to have all three. That's what decentralized health is based on. So just to make this very simple, remember circadian biology is based on daylight, darkness, and temperature regulation. So there's three things, not one thing that control it. Now, if you ask me what's the most important of the three, light is the most important of the three." Tone Vays: "Let's elaborate on that. Let's talk a little more about light, the different types of light, when you're supposed to take that light in, and how are you supposed to take that light in." Dr. Jack Kruse: "The most important light is sunlight. The least important light is manufactured light from man. The single most important thing is the default state is at sunrise. So if you take anything away from this podcast, to be honest with you, you need to see the sunrise. The sunrise is when you begin to renovate all the proteins in your body that you need to fix. The number one ones are the heme proteins. Those heme proteins all have red light chromophores in it. That's the reason why sunlight in the morning has much more red light than it than later in the day. So that's the reason why you want to do that." Tone Vays: "Let's dive a little bit deeper on that.

Your deuterium load is determined by the ratio of carbohydrates vs. fat in your food, along with the deuterium content of the water. Eat at least 50, 60% fat from grass-fed butter, tallow, ghee, or fat, the rest from proteins, and very little carbs Tristan Scott: "If I eat a piece of grass-fed meat that's like 130 ppm, is it just going to produce like 130 ppm metabolic water, or is there kind of a variation? […]" Dr. László Boros: "So what you want to eat is the fat part fatty meat at least 50, 60% fat content, and the rest is proteins and very little carbohydrates. In the 118, 110 ppm range, that's the grass-fed natural butter and so on. Gábor's paper have this data. That's what can actually supply deuterium-free metabolic water in your mitochondrial matrix, because your glycolysis and your biochemical reactions can get rid of this much of deuterium, 118 ppm. I'm just giving you a number; it probably needs to be below 120 ppm. And grass-fed cow fat, tallow, ghee, those are in the 110, 100 ppm range. "So from this grass-fed, natural fat source you can produce deuterium free or very low deuterium, a few ppm matrix water, because your body has glycolysis and isomerases that can actually scavenge, that can actually get rid of deuterium from the fat-related intermediary metabolites, and also from carbohydrates somewhat. And because of these ratios, low carbohydrates are practically preventing deuterium to enter in your system. So it's not the deuterium content but how much of high and low deuterium containing substrates you consume. What's the ratio of carbohydrates vs. fat in your food? Practically, that determines your deuterium load, and what's the water deuterium content that you consume."

You cannot use the TCA cycle, the urea cycle unless you renovate your heme proteins in the morning. See the sunrise to give the proper information to your body. Eat 30 to 60 minutes after sunrise. The leptin prescription Dr. Jack Kruse: "In terms of food, timing matters. It has a lot to do with what I told you before. For 20 years, I told the paleo guys, I told the meatheads in carnivore that you cannot use the TCA cycle, the urea cycle unless you renovate your heme proteins in the morning. So a paper comes out in Science Direct in 2021 and shows that I was correct. […] "Say if you're a guy that likes to eat steak all the time. What happens if you don't see the sunrise? What effectively have you done? Are you giving the proper information to your body? And I'm going to tell you, the biggest mistake people make is not understanding that fact. So, why is that important? "If you go out and you see the sunrise, you can eat anything. You're an omnivore, provided those things grow in that environment. That's the caveat. When should you eat? 30 to 60 minutes after sunrise. If you decide you want to eat lunch or you want to eat dinner, great. The axiom that I think everybody learned, no matter what country you're in, eat the big breakfast, smaller lunch, and a smaller dinner. OK? That still makes sense. "When you're more quantum coherent, when you got your circadian biology totally dialed in, what are you going to find? You're probably going to eat a big breakfast, you're going to have most of your carbs in the morning. You're going to eat a small dinner. You're probably going to wind up getting rid of lunch. What is that mechanism? I wrote something 20 years ago called the leptin prescription. It's based on that paper from 2020 in Science Direct. "The problem was from first principal thinking as a brain surgeon, I figured all this out before it was proven in paper. But here's the most important thing for you to understand as a new influencer. Absence of evidence is an absence of effect. Meaning that if it's obvious from first principal thinking it's true, and you can reason people through it, you don't need a paper to prove it to you. And guess what? I didn't need a paper. […] But now we know it's axiomatically true. "So I just tell people, you can do carnivore, you can do the paleo diet.

Heparan sulfate depleted in the brain of autistic kids. Heparan sulfate relies upon sulfate being attached by enzymes that are disrupted by glyphosate. Sunlight triggers the growth of heparan sulfate Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "I was looking at sulfate and autism. I have found papers that show, even postmortem, they showed that heparan sulfate was severely depleted in the brain of the autistic kids. Heparan sulfate is […] a very complicated sugar molecule, lots of sugars all connected together with sulfates sticking out of them in various places. That's the molecule that lines all the blood vessels. It also goes around the cells, both the cells in the blood and also just the cells and the tissues, they're all surrounded by heparan sulfate, which is hooked into the cell membrane. And the heparan sulfate has variable amounts of sulfate in it, so you can stick them in various places or not. "And the autistic kids have have low sulfate in their blood, and they also have low amounts of heparan sulfate […] I suspect everywhere. I mean certainly it's been shown up in the brain, both for the children and for the mice, they've studied mice. In fact, they had one group of mice in this experiment with all they did was injected something into their into their brain ventricles in the middle of the brain a chemical that prevented them from making heparan sulfate, and those mice, and prevented them from adding sulfate to the heparan sulfate, and those mice developed all the characteristic mouse symptoms of autism. So that was very dramatic with just that one change. They were normal mice except for that, and so that's really pointing to the heparan sulfate deficiency as being a core feature of autism. "And the heparan sulfate relies on the sulfate that's getting attached by all these enzymes that are being disrupted by glyphosate. So it's difficult to transport sulfate if you can't hook it onto something. The body relies on hooking it onto an organic molecule to ship it around in the blood, because if you put too much sulfate in the blood it'll gel the blood, and you don't want it to be jelly. It has to flow. So they've got this trick of sticking it onto these molecules that will go into lipid membranes and keep it away from the main circulating blood. "So they need to have a low level of sulfate in the blood, yet you need to deliver sulfate to all these places. So the body has come up with a clever solution to do that which involves these enzymes that glyphosate suppresses. So we get into big trouble with insufficient sulfate, and the sulfates are what makes the water gelled. Lining all the blood vessels is this slick layer of Jell-O so the red blood cells can just slide through effortlessly. That's really important for the circulation of the red blood cells, because the capillary is kind of a tight squeeze for the red blood cell, unless it's got really easy, low friction in the boundary, it's going to be hard for it to get through. So it's critical for the blood circulation. "And then the gel creates this battery which is so cool, and that's Gerald Pollack's work. […] He's done all these experiments where he shows that the gel that's created by the sulfates creates a battery, and the protons actually are pushed out from the gel. […] "And of course it's sunlight too, because sunlight is what triggers the growth of the heparan sulfate. That's important, and Gerald showed that as well, especially infrared light can grow that, well he calls it exclusion zone water, because it excludes. It becomes like pure water, and then the protons are being pumped out. It's using the sunlight as a source of energy. So it becomes a solar panel, in a way."

Then you make the hole deeper, and then you won't know where to go from there. "So, my two cents, I have a Patreon blog that tells you specifically when and when not to use it. I also believe that you need to have a decentralized doctor under your care to tell you whether it's a good thing for your current template. But I never use methylene blue orally."

Dr. Petra Davelaar's checklist for optimizing fertility Dr. Petra Davelaar: "The first thing we have to address light. You have to watch the sunrise every morning, and this will help establish all of the right hormonal issues that may be going on in either one of the couple. […] "Become acutely aware of the light you are under the whole day, every day, and address that. Replace all the light bulbs, get rid of the LEDs, CFLs, and change all of that. […] "Ditch your sunglasses. No sunscreen. […] You have to rebuild your melanin and your dopamine pathways, crucial pieces. And we can only do that with sunlight. We have to be out there as much as possible. […] "Become really aware of all of your electromagnetic radiation that you are exposed to. Manage your tech. Understand that we should not use these laptops without an Ethernet cable. […] Never wear your cell phone on your body. […] Men, get them out of your pocket. […] "Water. […] You need to make sure that you avoid fluoride. Drink the best quality water that you can have access to, spring water, structured water. Avoid municipal water. At least run it through an reverse osmosis filter if you are going to be drinking that. If you can afford it, use deuterium-depleted water for a period of time if you're trying to optimize fertilization. […] "Improve your breathing. […] Slow it down, less deep. Breathe through your nose, not through your mouth. Clear this whole piece of night breathing, mouth tape, whatever you need to do to get yourself to normalize this breathing function. Reduce the amount of breaths you take every minute. […] "Foods. Simple. Consume local and seasonal. […] Eliminate all the processed foods, your supplements, your creatine, your protein bars, your shakes. […] No fortified ones. Most grains contain all sorts of things we don't want. So yeah, just real food. […] "Body care. […] Get rid of all the shampoos, the fluoride toothpaste, the body creams, hair products, regular soaps. Get as natural as possible. […] "Clothing. When you're outside, you want to expose as much as your body as you can to the sunlight. No polyester underwear, no wired bras and shaped with chemicals types of things. […] Focus on those that […] are better for us, that will be your cotton, your linens, and so forth. "Medications. Educate yourself on vaccines and question how they may play a role during and after fertility, as well as for your children. It's going to be the first huge medical decision you make for them. Be aware of what's coming on day one when you give birth in a hospital. Just get your ducks in a row. And in fact, I just spoke to a doctor, Edward Geehr, who published a book in 2024 called […] _Unavoidably Unsafe_. […] We should all read that. […] "And then any medications that someone is on, should you be on these? Should you try and get off of them? Should you be on antidepressants? And can we manage this differently? And would that give my child a better chance? I think all of those are worth considering. "And then of course, yeah, enjoy life. All the right things, and not make it too complicated."

Your quads, glutes and hips are the first to weaken with age. Three simple exercises to help you live independently "The muscles that help you stand up, your quadriceps, glutes and hips, are the first to weaken with age. They're also the ones that determine whether you can live independently. The stronger they stay, the longer you stay free. […] "Today, I'll walk you through three simple, science-backed exercises that thousands of Americans over 60 are using to rebuild their legs, improve circulation, and regain balance right from their living room. These are not workouts. They're signals your body understands. Let's bring that strength back, one small step at a time. […] "This first exercise […] looks small, but it flips the switch that wakes your circulation. […] Sit in a sturdy chair, feet flat on the floor, back straight, shoulders relaxed. Now, lift your toes towards you, hold one heartbeat, then press them down, and lift your heels. Feel that rhythm: Heel toe, heel toe, like a slow wave rolling through your ankles. Keep breathing. 10 to 20 reps per set, up to three sets a day. […] "The next challenge is teaching those newly revived muscles how to stabilize your entire body when you stand, […] the exercise that turns trembling legs into steady pillars again. […] "Stand behind a sturdy chair or at your kitchen counter. Hold on lightly, just enough for balance, and place your feet shoulder width apart. Now slowly rise onto your toes. Pause at the top. Feel the stretch along your calves, and then lower yourself back down with control. No bouncing, no rushing, just steady, deliberate movement. 10 repetitions, rest for a minute, then repeat. Work your way up to three sets of 20 over time. […] "If the ankle pumps wake your circulation, and the calf raises restore balance, this final movement rebuilds your raw power, the ability to rise, to climb, and move through the world on your own terms. […] "Take a sturdy chair, one that doesn't roll, and place one or two firm pillows on the seat. Sit down slowly, feet flat, knees in line with your toes, hands resting lightly on your thighs. Now press your feet into the floor, tighten your core, and rise until you're fully standing. Pause. Feel your legs engage. Then lower yourself back down until you just touch the pillow. That gentle tap keeps your muscles under control rather than letting gravity take over. Start with one set of five. Rest. Then build to three sets of 10 as your endurance grows. Don't rush the process. The slower you move, the more your muscles learn precision. And precision builds true strength."

How to avoid glyphosate. Eat certified organic whole foods, organic eggs, animal fats, butter, sour cream, full-fat milk, half and half. Avoid processed foods. Humic acid and fulvic acid helpful in removing glyphosate from the gut Aastha Jain Simes: "If someone wants to avoid glyphosate as much as possible, what are some practical suggestions you would give them?" Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "Absolutely go on certified organic diet. Only buy certified organic foods, and I would recommend only buying whole foods; don't eat processed foods. Anything that has a whole bunch of ingredients don't buy it, you know, one of the soy protein bar, even organic soy protein bar, I wouldn't buy it. So you want eat high nutrient density foods as well, for example, organic eggs. That's a terrific food because they got so many vitamins and minerals as well as of course sulfur. "And healthy fats. I really recommend animal fats, and I love butter and sour cream. Those are nice low-deuterium fats. Actually interesting, because milk has low-deuterium, and that's intentional, I think, because the infant needs to have low deuterium in its diet. […] I only drink full-fat milk. In fact, if I have cereal I put half and half on it, so even more fat than full-fat milk. […] And by the way, butter has very low deuterium, so natural organic butter is a terrific food. […] So the high fat diet is low deuterium. […] "I mentioned the humic acid and fulvic acid. People are find that that's helpful for removing glyphosate from the gut. And probiotics, I really think if you eat a lot of probiotic foods, it's good anyway, because they can help with your gut microbes. They could have bacteria that could metabolize glyphosate in them. I don't know whether that's true or not, but I would hope that could be." Dr. Stephanie Seneff with Aastha Jain Simes @ 01:13:35–01:14:43 (posted 2024-05-30)

Glyphosate substitutes for glycine, thereby damaging collagen. Glyphosate may contribute to pelvic prolapse, joint pain, neck pain, back pain Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "[…] I called it a glyphosate susceptibility motif that certain proteins have. […] If that glycine is mutated to something else that protein is dead in the water, and there were many proteins that had tremendous sensitivity to substitutions. If glycine is substituted by a different amino acid in the code, that protein is broken. […] Glyphosate is pretending to be glycine. […] When the machinery sees the code for glycine, it grabs glyphosate instead because it fits perfectly. […] That can really mess things up, because the glyphosate has this extra bulky thing that's stuck out into the space. In particular, when they bind phosphate, glyphosate's methylphosphonate unit fits into the place where phosphate from the substrate is supposed to go. So the substrate can't fit anymore and the protein can't do its job." […] Aastha Jain Simes: "What are some of the first order effects of what happens in the body?" Dr. Stephanie Seneff: "Yes. There's so many. Collagen is a good example, because collagen is the most common protein in the body. A third of our proteins are collagen molecules. It forms the glue. It basically is in the connective tissue, in the bones, in the joints, even in the brain. It's very common in our body. And collagen has long swaths of G-X-Y, G-X-Y, G-X-Y, G-X-Y, every third amino acid is a glycine, tremendous opportunity for glyphosate to do mischief. I definitely think that glyphosate messing up collagen is causing a lot of diseases of the bones and joints and even of the gut. "There's a problem with sagging, […] pelvic prolapse, […] where the organs are sort of collapsing down into the bottom of the body, because they can't hold themselves up, because the collagen is so weak and flabby that it can't actually work. This is a kind of condition that's happening, and it can be a pretty serious problem. I think it's because the collagen's not forming correctly, and then […] the connective tissue is not strong anymore; it's too weak. "I think that's causing a lot of problems also in the bones and the joints. People have a lot of issues with joint pain. We have a lot of replacement, hip replacement therapy, and knee joint, you know, knees are giving out. You look at Americans over the age of maybe 60, they're pretty much hobbling around. Many of them have to use a walker or a cane. […] And of course back pain is a huge problem. There's a lot of pain associated with these things: neck pain, back pain. People get on opioid drugs, so now we have an opioid drug crisis. I think glyphosate may be contributing to all of that, because messing up collagen could explain all of that."

A high fat diet is the most deuterium-depleted diet. When treating cancer with deuterium-depleted water, avoid taking high dose antioxidants, avoid intense exercise, avoid sauna or hot baths Dr. Max Gulhane: "The question about diet in terms of deuterium. Essentially it's sounds like a high fat, carnivore diet is the most deuterium-depleted diet. Is that correct?" Dr. Gábor Somlyai: "Yeah, I agree. Yeah, sure. So we recommend people when starting to drink DDW at the same time change the diet, some kind of ketogenic-type diet. I never say be strict ketogenic because they cannot keep it on a long term. They should find the best way when they can optimize it and keep it on a long period of time." Dr. Max Gulhane: "Yeah, and Dr. Boros, who I talked to earlier, was talking about the benefit of high fat carnivore for all the reasons of promoting metabolic water function and optimizing mitochondrial function. So to me it sounds like a high fat diet, ketogenic or carnivore-type diet, would be the most optimal to do in addition to drinking the deuterium-depleted water for cancer or for metabolic disease." Dr. Gábor Somlyai: "Yeah. I fully agree. Yes." Dr. Max Gulhane: "Yeah. OK, and again, I think I just want to make the point for my listeners, is that there's no reason why we can't do this therapy in addition to other things, like exercise, like respecting our circadian rhythm and our light environment. It's great that this is simply just another tool in the toolbox. That's how I kind of understand it to be." Dr. Gábor Somlyai: "There are a couple of thing what we do recommend not to do, and this is very important. So for example, I sometimes I didn't understand why the people do not show any improvement even consuming DDW. And later it's turned out those who are taking antioxidants on a high dose, that prevent the efficacy of DDW, and this is the reason of the radicals. So when we are going to trigger radicals, hopefully triggering the necrosis, but if they're taking vitamin C, E, A, selenium, that way we help the cancer cells to work against DDW. This is what we recommend. "The other we do not recommend the exercises and loading test, because then the lactic acid increasing in the blood, no enough oxygen, and all these thing I again found that those cancer patients they were fine starting to doing exercise, they relapse. "And the third is no sauna, no hot bath, because again the higher body temperature modify the metabolism, which again somehow help the cancer cells to treat the challenges of the DDW. "So drinking DDW and not doing that three different thing to optimize the efficacy of DDW." Dr. Max Gulhane: "OK, thank you for making those points. […] Obviously walking is OK. But you're suggesting that high intensity or long distance running is a bad idea." Dr. Gábor Somlyai: "Yeah."

Humans' biggest risk is their own Dunning-Kruger effect Dr. Jack Kruse: "At the end of every year, from about I guess it's September 30th to December 15th, I have a notebook, and I write all the things down I currently believe, and then I challenged them. Is there any new data out there that causes me to fix this? "Why do I do that? Because I understand that humans' biggest risk is their own Dunning-Kruger effect. "I came up with this idea 25 years ago when I left residency. I started to think about in real life, we don't have any process like M&M conference, which is morbidity and mortality. I said, 'So how do you stay up to date?' […] I said, '[…] I think the best thing is I need to do this myself. I need to have my own M&M conference.' And that's where I came up with the idea."
