Embrace viruses as they allow us to innovate. Does your doctor start with, "Go outside, get fresh air, good water, reasonable sun?" You have a doctor inside you that works if you get out of its way. Sunglasses disrupts your ability to make needed hormones. 10 meds at age 50 Dr. Jack Kruse: "I'm going to tell you that viruses are actually something to embrace. That's actually how we build our genes as humans. When I tell people that their heads explode but it's true. 98% of the human genome […] are made from HERV viruses. Those are viruses that are retroviruses. […] So guess what? It means that mother nature shuffles the deck. We keep collecting viruses and that allows us to innovate solutions through the chaos, the butterfly effect, that we affect nature. "The problem is, can we create solutions when we live an indoor life? Just remember 1910 or the beginning of the 20th century when the Flexner report was first come out, nine out of 10 people worked outside. Today, 120 years later, 98% of people now work indoors. Has your doctor ever stopped to ask you that question? […] "If your doctor doesn't start with going outside and getting fresh air, good water, reasonable sun, then you have no business listening to them. […] "If […] your husband […] planted an orange tree in the backyard and your kids came out and put water and nutrients in the ground, after say, six months, would we get oranges? Turns out we would, right? But what happens if Jason […] comes around and puts a tarp over that tree? Are we going to get any oranges? […] "How smart is it to put contact lenses, eyeglasses, or sunglasses in front of my eyes, when I do know that there's these things called optic nerves that connect to my brain and my pituitary gland, and my pituitary gland makes all these hormones. Am I going to make all the hormones naturally? Is this the reason why people in California, Chicago, and New York have to spend $250,000 at the fertility clinic to have babies now? Is this the reason why kids don't want to have sex anymore because they're constantly checking their phone 150 times a day and that blue light destroys their circadian biology? […] "That's your job to ask, 'Is the digital babysitter that you bought your kids the real problem?' You want to blame it on your kids but you know what? More often than not it turns out it's the parents' decision around the choices in the kids environment that are important. […] "You have 3.8 billion years of quantum randomized controlled clinical trials going on in you. You have a doctor inside your head and your body that works if you get out of its way. Do you want to know what the single biggest problem is for most modern humans? They have this quantum computer in their head called the brain that allows them to break all of nature's laws, and they do it below their own perception. I told you just wearing clothes or putting contacts or glasses on are some of those examples. […] "Are we really surviving, are we really thriving, or are we sick and we're tethered to some big solution?

Without the sun there is no enlightenment. Sunlight is unpolarized. Every last bit of artificial light is polarized. That means it's suboptimal. There is no enlightenment with man-made artificial light Aaron Alexander: "What is light's role in enlightenment?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "It goes back to what I told you about the sun. It's pretty much everything. Without the sun, without you imbibing information and wisdom from nature, which is mostly from light, there is no enlightenment. It's impossible. And people fool themselves all the time when they're in an environment that is polluted with polarized light. They may think they're enlightened, but they're suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. There is no enlightenment with man-made artificial light at any level. And anybody who tells you otherwise is also full of shit." Aaron Alexander: "Why is that?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Because that's not light we're designed to work with. Sunlight is unpolarized. Every last bit of artificial light, whether it's the electric or magnetic field associated with it, is polarized. That means it's suboptimal by definition."

When light hits an opsin in the eye it separates vitamin A. If vitamin A is not recycled by the DHA loop then circadian disease (e.g., inability to sleep, type 2 diabetes, inflammation) results. The leptin prescription & cold thermogenesis protocol Max Gotzler: "Could you explain the vitamin D and A cycle? […] How does that work in the brain in relation to mitochondria, electrons, and light?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, this is a pretty complicated story. […] Vitamin D in the brain and vitamin A are yoked, and this goes back to embryology. […] We have something called neuroectoderm. Neuroectoderm is where our brain and our skin come from. In humans that are in fully adult form, there is no direct connection between the skin and the brain. "Vitamin D and vitamin A bridge that gap, and they are what we call hydrated proteins that act like semiconductors that bring in light. Vitamin D happens to work best with the UVB part of the spectrum that we get from the sun, which is why I wanted Max to ski down the mountain with no clothes on to gain that. […] "Every opsin in our eye, both in the rods and the cones and also in the nighttime cones called melanopsin, any opsin is bound by vitamin A, and that's called retinol. That's the specific name. In humans (or any animal that's diurnal, meaning that lives in the light) that covalent bond is weak, so anytime light comes in, it separates. When it separates, the vitamin A has to be recycled, and it gets recycled in quantum precision with that DHA loop that I told you in your eye. "The reason why the eye is incredibly important for vitamin A being yoked, it's been shown in many, many studies that when vitamin A is not yoked properly, the patient will have circadian disease, meaning they won't be able to sleep, they'll have type 2 diabetes, they'll have multiple different problems tied to that. And the reason for that is that connection is the way that the skin and the brain talks to each other by way of light frequencies through the eye. So the brain needs that constant connection, otherwise it cannot tell proper time. "And when it can't tell proper time, I have an analogy that I use. […] If the deliveries all came at the same day and weren't spaced out appropriately, what would it be like to work at Home Depot at that day? It would be crazy. We would call that chaos. "What do we call chaos in a cell? Inflammation. And that's the problem. So you need to have the proper yoking within your skin and your eye so the brain is able to tell time. When you can't tell time, that's when you get a circadian mismatch, and that explains to you truly how the leptin prescription and the cold thermogenesis protocol really work, because those things are designed to work in the anterior visual system. Why? The retinas here, the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the middle, and what's distal to that, the leptin receptor. That's a giant semiconductor circuit that allows the human brain to tell night from day, day from night. […] "DHA is a quantum lipid, and it absorbs light and turns it into an electric current. And really what all our hydrated proteins and lipids do in that circuit act just like a semiconductor. […] Light is used in the system in order to tell time, and that's the key. "That's why circadian biology is incredibly important to biology. In fact, I think it's the single most important thing. That's why I don't focus a lot of time, Max, talking about food, because it's inconsequential when you understand how important light is in the way that we're put together. And I always tell people that mitochondria, fundamentally, are an electromagnetic sensor for our environment, meaning it's a light sensor, and that's how it's designed to work."

The surgeons can cut out everything but cause. We can't cut out the cause. If we remove it, but the conflict is still active, it's still going to come back Dr. Melissa Sell: "If you have a something in your colon that grows and grows and grows, then it becomes a space occupying problem. And there are situations where a surgery is better. So if you grow a humongous tumor in the tube, and then you resolve the conflict, it would take a lot of decomposition and swelling, and in order. . ." Alec Zeck: "Like a major tumor on your breast." Dr. Melissa Sell: "Absolutely. So in those circumstances to go through the healing phase is going to be so intense. Let's take the surgical route because that allows you . . . We don't do it out of fear though. We don't take tons of extra tissue. I know people that have, 'OK, we had one spot on the colon and then we're going to take 10 ft of it.' And it's like, you don't need to do that. You don't need to go cut into the tissue that's not adapted. We just take the area where it's like, 'OK, it's going to be a lot to go through the healing phase here.' "And Dr. Hamer, he was a medical doctor. He wasn't anti using medical intervention for things, but it's all about the reason that you're doing it. And if you're doing it because you're scaring the person that there's something malignant and scary in their body that's going to spread everywhere, absolutely not. That's not the reason that we do it. We do it simply because you grew, you had a lot of conflict, and to go through the healing phase would be too intense and not easy for you, so let's go ahead do the surgery. "Still, we have to address the conflict, because if you have a surgery, right? There's a great Herbert Shelton quote: 'The surgeons can cut out everything but cause.' So it's like we can't cut out the cause. This is all downstream. If we remove it, but the conflict is still active, it's still going to come back."

Time is only valuable when you have health. Wealth is only valuable when you have time. Bitcoin helps you utilize that time. Without your health your bitcoin really doesn't help you Dr. Jack Kruse: "I think what you kind of tapped into in this one gets to the crux of the issue. […] I give you the credit here because you got me to realize something. "I've told people time is only valuable when you have health. But guess what? Wealth is only valuable when you have time. "That to me is the distillation of our hour and a half together. Why? That needs to be the touchpoint for everybody. When they hear that statement, that is a statement that is a declarative sentence that cuts to the core of the issue. And when you understand that, you begin to live your life by those principles, but maybe it'll cause you to change your values. The things that you value now, when you understand this, guess what? Not only will you be doing to help on the financial side, but this is going to get people to realize that their health is a lot more important than even their bitcoin is, because without your health your bitcoin really doesn't help you. "And that's the architecture or the hierarchy that we're talking about. I'm still always going to tell people, and I think the thing that separates me in the bitcoin community from everybody else is I happen to know how to give people time back. Bitcoin helps you utilize that time, and they walk hand in hand. "I think if you only understand bitcoin from the time perspective without getting a health perspective you are subject to be maybe becoming Steve Jobs, and I don't want to see any bitcoiner ever become Steve Jobs. I want to make sure that you live past 56, that you live to see your grandchildren, that you live to build this regenerative farm wherever it is that you're going to do it, and that you're also going to fertilize all the neocortexes that you're going to touch with your podcast for the next 15 or 20 years."

All human senses have a melanin sheet between you & the environment. If that melanin degrades, your ability to perceive art changes. We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are. POMC needs UV light to make melanin. Get better sun to be more creative Dr. Jack Kruse: "Culture reflects the changes that happen in us. What most of you don't know yet, all five of your senses, human senses (including the sixth one that you may not know you have, which is the mitochondria itself), between you and the environment is a melanin sheet. Every sense: eyes, smell, taste, hearing. It doesn't matter. If that melanin degrades, your ability to perceive the art changes. So guess what that means? "The artist creates for himself. If the audience likes it, what does that mean? That means that their melanin sheets are intact. When you see something you don't like, like a Rothko, […] you're not identifying with the early 20th century, when things were dark, when people were inside. […] "The great apes, of which the chimps are from, have 24 pairs of chromosomes. Everybody in this room, I'm assuming nobody has Turner syndrome or Klinefelter's, you all have 23. Do you know what the difference between the great apes and us is? Their 24th chromosome got stuck by their telomeres and condensed down. Do you know what it became in us? Chromosome number two. Anybody want to guess what's on chromosome number two? The gene called POMC. You know what it makes? Alpha, beta, and gamma melanin. How do you like that? Pretty shocking, huh? So, I told you that light, water, and magnetism were the key to understanding where culture begins. That's where it comes from. […] "We don't see things as they are; we see things as we are. That was the point that I tried to make to Fen yesterday, that people who look at your artwork, people who look at Yusef's country, don't see it for what it is because their melanin in their sensory systems aren't the same. […] "We are creatures of light. Genesis was right. The evolutionists were really wrong. The Big Bang? Yeah, maybe. We needed to have light. Light is germane to our story. The POMC gene, proopiomelanocortin, is the key to understanding this mystery. It only gets translated by UV light. "So when you think the sun is bad for you, remember this talk. If you want to be more creative, I told Fen this already, want to be a better artist, Davis, you want to be a better writer, any of you guys in here, Andrew, come further south. Texas is big, but it's not got enough sun. You need to get the sun. Why do I think, unlike Curtis Yarvin, who you just heard speak? He's right. The people of El Salvador are the greatest asset, but we need to turn them loose in the light. We need to turn them into little savages […] that understand what decentralized medicine is all about: optimizing light, water, and magnetism.

Conditions necessary for a favorable induction of labor Ana Paula Markel: "Women never have any idea what an induction really looks like or what it really means to be induced. They think they're gonna go in the hospital in the morning and have the baby by the afternoon, and it's really not like that. It's also very important to inform a woman that what her cervix is doing before that induction begins is what's going to set the tone for that whole induction. "If her cervix is favorable, if she's already softened, dilated, the cervix is forward, that induction has a much higher chance of working and being very well received by her body and the baby. If her body is not ripened at all, she will probably have a three-day labor that's gonna end up in a Caesarean anyway. And that is the worst scenario that we witness women going through. Because by the time you see your baby, you can barely keep your eyes open, you cannot make decisions anymore, you don't care anymore, you're just so exhausted that you just wanna go to sleep. "So, it's really important for women to understand what induction means before they get there."

Blue light from screens lower dopamine levels. If this happens to a child it may destroy their ability to create their own fun, enjoy real friendships. It may also cause gender confusion. A computer screen without blue light Dr. Jack Kruse: "Here's my real problem with [how we're treating our kids]. Read the quote. I'll read it for you if you can't see it. 'If the neural pathways that control social and imaginative responses aren't developed in early childhood, it's difficult to revive them later. A whole generation could grow up without the mental ability to create their own fun, devise their own games and enjoy real friendships - all because of endless screen-time.' "I'm going to tell all of you, every screen besides Anjan's [Daylight Computer] emits blue light. What does blue light do? What's the damaging effect? It lowers dopamine and melatonin. That's what causes the major problems. Technology to an excess is a problem. [..] "The story that you never get told, you know that Sergey Brin and all of his friends, the VCs, tried to block Anjan's device to come to market. Do you know why? Because when he lowers your dopamine level, you create more freaks that don't know if they're girls or boys. They get pins through their nose. That's how you do it. And you think this is hyperbole. Do I have all the studies to back this up? Oh, yeah, I do. I do. I'm that guy. I hate to tell you. So, we need to be smart with how we do it. I'm not saying we can't use it; we just got to be smart."

#1 tip for a healthy pregnancy: get 10 hours of darkness. Also: stabilize meal timing, eat per Lily Nichols, eat enough to feed baby, learn about the folate cycle, get outside in the morning and during the day, minimize EMF (it may aggravate morning sickness) Cameron Borg: "What do you work with [...] expecting parents, [...] even preconception? What do you like to have them do to make sure that the risk during birth is minimized as much as possible? I mean, this comes back to nutrition, circadian health, light exposure, EMF, all of these kind of things. What type of things do you encourage people to do?" Nikko Kennedy: "Mhm. Yeah. So, circadian, [...] I'll say like stabilize then strengthen. So, like the first thing is stabilizing the circadian rhythm, having a baseline of actual dark nights. I usually recommend about 10 hours of darkness because it takes a little while for melatonin to actually start flowing in the night. And so having that dark environment is really, really important. That is absolutely the one baseline that I think many of today's families are missing, not getting that 10 hours of darkness piece. "Once that is stabilized and then and meal timing too like a lot of people have erratic eating schedules, especially women who work, it can be hard to get that like anchoring morning meal. A lot of women I work with who are intending to conceive they do know that nutrition is important. So, I do talk with them a lot about that and most so many women I know they eat really, really healthy in terms of their food choices, but they don't realize the quantity that's required to grow a new baby and be nourished and healthy through that. So, I often recommend doing some kind of like a variation. [...] I'll recommend that they study the Brewer Diet for pregnancy, and Lily Nichols's work for pregnancy nutrition. Make a cross-section of those of those two paradigms, because Lily is really good at the food choices, and the Brewer Diet is really good at emphasizing the quantity that's required. "I'd also recommend the Root Cause Protocol to study and learn a little bit about that and how iron and magnesium work for the body. [...] I have a series in my Substack that's all about the folate cycle. But women are always told to supplement with all these different B vitamins, and they don't really know how they work. And so when you start getting them in like these random varieties, it doesn't necessarily optimize for biology. And we know that folate is extremely important for development, methylation, neural tube development, but also baby's brain. Methylation is what drives the DNA changes for the circadian rhythm to even fire. Like it's so, so key. So I look at I look at folate. I look at all of that kind of thing. [...] "And then after that is getting the daylight. So that's like the final chunk where I'm like getting outside in the morning, getting outside across the day on a being, you know, regular. And that's where a lot of women will be like, 'Well, what if I live in the far north and it's there's no daylight?' It's still brighter and the body has pathways for all of that, too. Sometimes women also ask me about like, 'Well, I've been doing cold plunges. Like, can I still keep doing that?' And right, there's a lot of nuanced things that we can talk about, but generally that dark night, having that really high quality, high volume food, and then the time outside, and grounding if possible. "I also recommend women to do a bit of study with electromagnetic hygiene. [...] One of the patterns I've seen is women with severe morning sickness may not realize that they actually have a Wi-Fi router or a smart meter right next to their bed. So we have them move like at least 10 ft away from a smart meter and you know at least a distance. And so I will for women who are living in EMF environments recommend that they get like some kind of electrosmog meter so they can see where the fields are the strongest and just try not to spend time in those spaces especially in the very initial first trimester."

DHA concentration is highest in retina & central retinohypothalamic tract. Blue light destroys DHA in that tract. A mismatch occurs if the SCN master clock does not run faster than every other peripheral clock in the body. Cell phones speed up nearby peripheral clocks Dr. Dan Pompa: "Jack, what about people that live in areas that don't get a lot of sunlight? I mean, I know the DHA plays a big role in these receptors in the eyes, you know, and blue light, the more blue light you're exposed to, the more DHA you need because it depletes, the blue light affects the melatonin, etc." Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] The retina to the leptin receptor, […] I got kind of famous on the internet […] for the leptin prescription and the cold thermogenesis protocol. But you need to realize that DHA, which is fish oil, is the highest concentration […] is in your retina and the central retinohypothalamic tract that connects to the leptin receptor in the hypothalamus. "So if you have too much blue light, say you're on the computer all the time, you're a trader in Chicago, you have a higher need for DHA because blue light destroys DHA in that tract. "The key thing for circadian biology, […] we have a really cool system that is tied to this story right here on the internet and the cell phone. You guys know that we have a Garmin devices in our phones so that if I came to Park City and Dan told me where he was, I could navigate to him and get there, no problem. Well, what people don't realize is we have the same system set up in every cell in our body and it starts with our eye. And the way a GPS system works is that the clock that's up top has to run faster than all the clocks below it. OK? "In the phone, this, the Garmin device here, 30,000 km above the surface right now, there is a orbiting satellite that's basically controlling light from the sun using an atomic clock and it runs 38 microseconds faster than the clocks on the surface. That way, when I try to go find Dan in Park City, I don't get lost. If it was off, I would be off by a factor of 10 km on the surface of the earth. […] "Well, it turns out the same physical relationship, because remember, the laws of physics scale both from macro to micro, and it turns out the same issue, […] the key thing in the eye is that the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which […] is the main body clock for circadian biology, has to run faster than every other peripheral clock in the rest of our body. […] In front of every mammalian eukaryotic gene is a peripheral clock gene, and it takes its lead from this. "So let me give you a for example. If you take your laptop and put the laptop on your lap, […] if it's a lady, it's akin to a NuvaRing. It's actually no different. Why? Because how those IUDs work, they have metal in them. What they do is they spin that peripheral clock much faster than this clock here. That's the reason why ovulation is blocked. So when you put a laptop on your lap or a cell phone in your pocket, you're running the clock genes in that area much faster than this one here. That creates a mismatch. "The key to DHA is you need to know that you need more of it in the eye to run this clock faster because what does DHA fundamentally do? It turns sunlight into a DC electric current. And […] that whole electric potential […] goes on in the mitochondria. That electric potential is the key to life. Well, it's the big time key in this system here between the retina and the leptin receptor. And that whole key is the retinohypothalamic tract."

First trimester sunlight is really important. High latitude populations recycle vitamin D extremely efficiently. Caution warranted in vitamin D supplementation in high latitudes. When a woman goes in sunlight, her breast milk's vitamin D go up faster than her bloodstream's Cameron Borg: "Is there an optimal time of the year to conceive? […] Because if you give birth during winter, […] what do you do as far as vitamin D is concerned for the child? […]" Nikko Kennedy: "[…] Yeah, I have a few I've written about this a few times. There's a post I wrote like, 'Is there an ideal time to conceive,' and put the research together on that. 'Baby solar callus' has some of the research on the vitamin D and babies and milk question. […] "There's just naturally a rise in fertility and birth rates in the seasons where there's sun, where mom can get vitamin D in her first trimester. So the first trimester sunlight is really, really important and seems to have a protective effect against preterm birth. The farther away from the equator you get the stronger that effect is. "That effect may also be stronger in people who have like equatorial ancestry who have migrated out to those poles. […] Like Norwegian population, they did a study on them and their vitamin D recycling and they found they were extremely efficient at recycling vitamin D, and basically there wasn't an upper limit. They were easily recycling their vitamin D for months at a time. So getting the light in the summer, right, and that is fair skin adapted to cold. Right? And then there's also higher tolerance for oral vitamin D among some of those northern people. They did this one in the Eskimo Inuit communities where they were living off of whale blubber, and they found they actually had genes encoded. Where if you brought […] someone from the equator up there they would actually probably have a toxic reaction to that level of vitamin D, because they're optimized for solar production of vitamin D, and they don't have a huge need to recycle vitamin D or get it through dietary sources because year round UVB sunlight. "Again it kind of depends on how in tune with the environment you are. So bolus doses of vitamin D, synthetic vitamin D, where they're like irradiated lichen and lanolin, right? Those ones, a super high dose of that can actually stop the body's recycling processes, and cause it to dump vitamin D, and be less receptive to vitamin D. I always recommend a cautious take on vitamin D supplementation in a northern climate because the whole situation is you should be optimizing recycling and getting it from natural dietary sources. […] "And you asked about breast milk and vitamin D. So, yes, they say it doesn't have enough, but […] if someone's telling me that nature doesn't work, then I'm going to be a little skeptical of that claim. […] When a woman goes in the sunlight, the vitamin D levels in her milk go up way, way, way faster than they do in her bloodstream. So they did a survey of women in Nepal and they're like, 'Whoa, these moms are vitamin D deficient, but their breastfed babies aren't. How is this happening?' […] "I think that if you actually right rhythms and get light right and diet and everything synchronized with your environment then these problems of like breast milk not having enough vitamin D, childbirth being extremely painful and treacherous, right? Surprising, yes. Treacherous in a healthy mom, no, it shouldn't be, usually. All these things just they can all come into harmony." "I think of all fertility, all fecundity comes from the environment. If you saw all the fox moms were all miscarrying all the time, and you were finding them all dead of prolapse in the woods, you wouldn't be like, 'What's wrong with that fox?' You'd be like, 'What's going on in this ecosystem,' right? So that's how I think of it with humans, too. And I'm like, 'It's not this mom is unhealthy; it's this ecosystem needs support.'"

The more man-made light you got the less time you get. You're designed to fill back up by plugging into the sun & the earth. Your job is to do that more than you do other things. If you do that you're gonna be fine Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, the funny thing that you said, 'Well, we pretty much have to live in cities, we have to do this, we have. . .' No we don't. That's a belief system. And I would tell you, I'll give you a for example. I can't do neurosurgery outdoors. So what do I do? For example, when I go to surgery, after my case, I go immediately outside, take my scrubs off. Now people in the hospital look at that and they're like, 'Wow. Why are you doing that?' And I sit down and explain to them exactly why. I said, 'I just ruined myself for an hour in there so now I need to refurbish myself.' [...] as much time as I can get. "And here's the thing. You made a statement about, 'People can't afford to do this.' You can't afford not to do it. Do you know why? What's the most valuable thing that all three of us have? Time. Time, dude. Think about it. We're trying to create more time for people. Well, if you read my time series, all through the 24 blogs, you know what the key take-home is? Light makes time. Light, and the light that we allow. When I say light, I'm not just talking about the sun. I'm talking about the fake light, the man-made light, the altered spectrums that we have. The more of that you got the less time you get. It's that simple. "I'm gonna tell you I know that my ideas for you guys may be a tough pill to swallow, but I'm gonna try to explain this to you simply by a couple of quick statements, and I hope that you get it and it resonates with the listeners. Mankind has not woven the web of life, my friend. We are all just one thread in that web, and whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves. All things in nature are bound together, and all things connect in few ways that most people understand. And really the tragedy of our time, the modern world, is that we have a monoculture of ideas. All thinkers are forced to believe the same bullshit. What we don't realize today is that this slow-moving mitochondrial poison is quietly buried at the heart of our technology. It's becoming more venomous as exposure rates continue to explode exponentially. And let me just tell you something. The more we embrace it, the more it's going to cause us problems. "And that's the reason why just about every study you read when people go out camping and they come back, they magically get better and nobody seems to know why. Well, I can tell you why, because they're reconnected with the things how you're designed to work. That mitochondria is designed to work in nature. My take-home is very simple. Reconnect with what you're designed to work with. An example: when you plug the iPhone in when it runs out of juice, it fills back up. Well, you're designed to plug in the earth and plug into the sun, and do the things that you do that way. Your job is to do that more than you do other things. If you do that you're gonna be fine."

It's not your "genetic defects." Dr. Kruse stopped looking for disease processes in patients and started looking for defects in their environment. "I look outside in, not inside out." Connect to the sun with your feet and hands firmly attached to the earth Dr. Jack Kruse: "Let me try to give it to you as simple as I can, to put it in a one statement. Once you eliminate epistemology and ignore the obvious controls that epistemology gives you, you can scientifically prove just about anything to keep grant money flowing in. And that's really what modern science is in a nutshell. And that's why when people ask me, 'Well, can you give me citations?' Sure, I can give you citations. But what does that do? Is that moving you to a place that you should be? "See, [...] I'm always trying to get people to understand, I just need you to connect with nature. When you connect with nature that's what the animal in us is required. We are designed to be wirelessly connected to that sun and with our feet and hands firmly attached to things on this earth, either the earth itself, or trees, or things like that. That's how you're designed to move through this environment. And if you stay with that, you do that more often than not, you will be fine. "The supplement makers, the pill pushers, the coffee makers, all that stuff, that is people who are preying on you, realizing what you've been taught. Our educational system in the sciences is the big problem. And listen, scientists don't like this message because what am I fundamentally teaching people is that when we get in the classroom we're telling people, 'Hey, you need to look this way, not this way.' "And I think my Come to Jesus moment was when I began to stop looking for disease processes in me, or in my patients, and realizing what in the environment is broken that is causing them to be broken. And that's the key perspective change. I look outside in, not inside out. And medicine these days is about, 'Oh, your "genetic defects," you know, or this that, and the other thing.' That's not the problem. We have environmental defects that we've created as a species that is hurting us all and hurting the animals in the environment. "And it's so foreign to people to look at disease in this way, but that's how a mitochondriac does it. The way I got this perspective is being a mitochondriac, understanding that a mitochondria and a chloroplast is an electromagnetic sensor that checks out all the waves around us, that's doing it right now with both of us. Our body pays attention to that, to those waveforms. Those waveforms are all it cares about because it needs to understand the environment in order to harness that light energy on those electrons. And if it can't do that then our Ferraris become Nissan Sentra blowing black smoke." Dr. Jack Kruse with Naudi Aguilar & Adam Lowery @ 32:46–35:46 (posted 2017-04-08)

The light from screens tell our eyeball and brain it's always summertime, which leads to circadian diseases. We evolved for 4.5 billion years under sunlight; we're not designed for screens, cellular signals, or indoor lighting. Indoor lighting causes pets like small dogs to die sooner Dr. Jack Kruse: "Sunlight, when it rises in the morning, has a color temperature of 1,800 Kelvin. You know what that screen in front of each one of us has? Between 6,500 and almost 11,000 Kelvin. So this gets to Dan's point. What's the real problem that all of us have since we now live in a wired, microwaved world? Well, we've got huge color temperature that's basically telling our eyeball and brain it's always summertime. And that information not only gets codified in the mitochondria of a special cell in your eye called the retinal pigment epithelium, but then it gets generalized into all different parts of the central nervous system. And here's the crazy part. "That information goes to those trillions of mitochondria all over your body. And that is how we develop circadian mismatched disease. That's how mitochondrial heteroplasmy begins because we have two major ways that we get this light frequency information to our system, that's through our skin and through our eyes. There's two others, both the gut and the lung system. But the one that I think most people like to focus in on, because the one in the eye is extremely complex, that receptor in our eyes called melanopsin. Melanopsin is coupled to the vitamin A cycle in your brain. And if those two things aren't yoked, you're guaranteed to get circadian diseases. "So for your listeners, so they understand the reason why astronauts and cosmonauts get sick when they go in space is because melanopsin and the vitamin A cycle decouple. That's the reason why they get osteoporosis in a year. That's the reason why they come back and have degenerative disc disease. It's the reason why Neil Armstrong came back from the moon and basically was infertile the rest of his life. People don't understand that the energies in space are in the cosmic level. "But the interesting thing for me and my members, I use those examples to explain to you how your cell phone, how the phone in front of you, or the material around Dan and the stuff around Miss Dykstra, is actually affecting us because if you do this every day in your life, what are you doing? Actually ruining this wireless system that's built into your cells to work with sunlight. Because as Dan rightly pointed out earlier, light is the key. "We evolved for 4.5 billion years under sunlight. The crap behind me, we're not designed to work around that light. Can we? Yeah. You know why we get away with it, Dan? It goes back to the story that I told you beginning. You have huge mitochondrial capacity as humans. But guess what? If you don't, you'll get sicker. That's the reason why small dogs who are your pets, if you leave them in the same environment you will, they'll die sooner and they'll get sick quicker and you'll have higher vet bills. People don't get it. That's a canary in the coal mine for your own environment." Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Dan Pompa and Meredith Dykstra @ 34:10–37:13 (posted 2017-01-13)

Studies show that the children who are vaccinated have multiple times the rate of chronic health conditions vs. unvaccinated. If vaccines are so safe, why do they need immunity? Aaron Siri: "They tell you vaccines are a powerful pharma product. They can modify your immune system and give you, from your toes to your earlobe, systemically, right? […] And they can't tell you why we've had this rise in chronic disease. They've studied it. They've spent billions of dollars. Maybe because they're not looking at the one thing that they should also be looking at, which is the very thing that modifies your immune system. "And I can tell you the studies that have been done that compare children with no vaccines to the children that had one or more vaccines. And there's a whole series of them. Now, a lot of them are small. They're all retrospective. They're epidemiological studies, which meaning they're always subject to confounders. OK? So, you know, I could level criticism about those kind of studies. Anybody can. But they're consistent. They all show that the children who are vaccinated have multiple times the rate of these chronic health conditions compared to children who have no vaccines. And that is terribly disturbing. And I'll add one more data point to this, which is this." "If vaccines are so safe, why do they need immunity?" Lara Logan: "Well, yeah, that's the most obvious question of all." Aaron Siri: "And do they still need it five years after they've been on the market? You still don't know? How about 10 years? 15? How many years do you need to know it's safe before you can lift the immunity? "The HepB vaccine, they're so, 'Oh, it's safe.' You hear, 'It's so safe.' It's been on the market. . . there's two HepB vaccines that are given to babies. Recombivax-HB and Engerix-B, licensed in '86 and '89. You still don't know they're safe today to lift the immunity? You still need that protection? Come on. You have to be a fool to not understand that why would a product need immunity for the injuries that it causes if it doesn't cause injuries. Come on." […] Lara Logan: "Correct me where I'm wrong. Number one, very little is done to ensure that vaccines are safe, because companies who make them have immunity, and therefore they do not have the financial incentives to go through all that they need to go through, for example, to make their drugs, to take their drugs to market. Number one." Aaron Siri: "Correct." Aaron Siri, Esq with Lara Logan @ 40:33–42:18 & 01:23:53–01:24:12 (posted 2025-12-12)

Peptide use is dangerous as we don't know which tissues are being changed. Taking peptides like Ozempic is like driving the Autobahn with no lights, wearing blue-blocking glasses at 01:00 in the morning. Some peptides can be deadly for some people. The precaution principle Dr. Jack Kruse: "The use of peptides is dangerous. You should stay as far away from it as you can because we don't know enough. [...] Mitochondria actually make about 1,200 peptides that actually alter physiological redox functioning. And when you don't understand how the peptides work totally, and you start to use them, you have a problem. "Let's use the one peptide now that kind of everybody knows about, which is Ozempic. If you listen to the Ozempic commercials, they'll always tell you if you have MEN-1 or -2, you shouldn't use Ozempic. If you're a type 1 diabetic, you should not use Ozempic, but if you're a type 2 diabetic, you should use it. Immediately, what that should cause you to realize is, why is it that certain people can't use certain peptides? OK, that's the question that should come up, but that's not the question that most people ask themselves. It turns out for people that have different Fitzpatrick scores, different SNIPS, different SAPs, different haplotypes, guess what? Certain peptides can be deadly. And it turns out that Ozempic can be a real problem. And this is the reason why it's associated with like MEN syndromes. "Most people don't know just how Ozempic works, it's a GLP1 drug or peptide, is that it affects exogenous thyroid tissue that's elsewhere in the body. Most people have the belief that doctors get in medical school that your thyroid is only in your thyroid gland in your neck. It turns out, especially humans, further you go on the evolutionary tree, we tend to have extranodal thyroid gland in other places. It turns out that's where the Ozempic peptide can cause some funny, how shall we say, signaling, physiologic signaling, to lead to medical comorbidities, and one of those things actually can be a cancer syndrome. That's what MEN syndrome is. "When you hear the story between type 1 and type 2 diabetics, I think most people who are not science-based know that there's a difference between type 1 and type 2. But the difference that they believe comes down to the production or non-production of insulin. Well, it turns out that's not the only issue. The other issue is that type 1 diabetics are created radically different than type 2 diabetics, and type 1 diabetics have different phenotypes than type 2s. So it should raise the question, why is Ozempic a problem for type 1 diabetics? And it has a lot to do with the thermodynamics of the story. "My basic thesis has always been you use the precaution principle when you're at the edge of a science that you really don't know the answer. And when it comes to peptides, we don't know the answer. [...] "So fundamentally, when you take peptides, what effectively are you doing? You are actually changing the charge density of different tissues in your body, and you don't know what tissues are being changed. Therefore this is kind of like driving the Autobahn with no lights, wearing blue-blocking glasses at 01:00 in the morning. Makes no fucking sense at all."

Fire is artificial light, a non-native EMF. People had cataracts 2,500 years ago. Melanin is the most important semiconductor. It's goal is to decrease the DC electric current made from sunlight Sheryl Utal: "The allegory of the cave was 2,500 years ago, and they didn't have the non-native EMF, bioweapons, then." Dr. Jack Kruse: "Yes, they did." Sheryl Utal: "They did?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "They didn't have the bioweapons but they had non-native EMF." Sheryl Utal: "I don't know that." Dr. Jack Kruse: "You don't realize it, you had cataracts back then. I mean what's the number one non-native EMF? [...] When the Neanderthals went inside, what did they use? Artificial light at night. It was fire. That's the first artificial light. "Let's go back to 65 million years. What's the real first non-native EMF? Anytime there's clouds, do you know what happens? More cosmic radiation gets to terrestrial Earth. So what does that mean? That's not terrestrial. It's designed not to be here. But guess what? There are things that happen in the atmosphere that change that. [...] "In the Ubiquination series I try to explain to people how the solar wind changes nitrogen in the sky. How many times have you seen the picture that I show people about chlorophyll and hemoglobin and it's surrounded by a nitride cage. Do you know what the key to some of these DARPA programs is? They actually control the flow of nitrogen in your mitochondria. What are they doing? They're controlling the bioelectric potential by doing that in you. And you know where they got that lesson from? From geoengineering the sky. How do you like that? [...] You can go read those blogs right now for free. [...] It keeps showing you chlorophyll and it keeps showing you hemoglobin over and over and over again. [...] "The KT event happens. We get chlorophyll first, we get hemoglobin second. 65 million years ago an asteroid comes and all of a sudden melanin becomes the most important semiconductor. I just gave you three semiconductors. And what's the goal of all three of them? To decrease the DC electric current made from sunlight. That's what all three of them have in common. And it turns out melanin does it better than chlorophyll, and does it better than hemoglobin. That's your answer, staring you right in the face. [...] "Let's talk about King Tut. The Nubians who built the pyramids, their bones are buried right on the side of the Sphinx. Peter Ungar digs them up and finds out their skeletons are perfect, and we know that these people were as dark as the people people from Nairobi, Kenya. Why? Because they lived in equatorial places outside, night and day. How do we know that the elite weren't? Because they put their fucking mummies in sarcophagus, and we found them, and we did CT scans on them and found out they have the same fucking diseases that we have today. "So don't tell me non-native EMF hadn't been around for 5,000–6,000 years, because it has. You just don't realize it. And if you want want me to scale it from now 5,000 years in advance, look at Mark and Scott Kelly. Two identical twins, one went up in space for 340 days, one came back with unbelievable epigenetic changes and methylation problems, and all issues tied to the same story that I'm showing you today."

Melanopsin is a non-visual photoreceptor that is the source of the blue light hazard. Melanin is a biologic semiconductor that absorbs all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Melatonin is the time crystal that mitochondria make to tell time. If you eat like a vegan you're probably going to wind up like Steve Jobs, dead at 50 or 60 years old Steve: "What's the difference between melanopsin, melatonin, and melanin?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "OK, that's an easy one. You're probably letting me off the hook easy." "Melanopsin is a non-visual photoreceptor that we inherited from our ancestors. Our ancestors were fishes and amphibians. It is a blue light detector. It operates most 435 to 465. It's the source of the blue light hazard. It's the reason why non-native EMF, blue light is the single biggest problem for humans. It's found in our fat, it's found in our blood vessels, it's found almost in every neuron of our body, so it's a huge issue. "Melanin is a biologic semiconductor that is made from a gene in mammals. The gene is called POMC, that stands for proopiomelanocortin. That gets cleaved to six different peptides. One of those peptides is called α MSH. α MSH is what creates melanin. Melanin comes in three forms predominantly in humans, eumelanin, pheomelanin, and neuromelanin, neuromelanin being the darkest of all. It absorbs all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that any star would emit. And pheomelanin and eumelanin just have different atoms that are doped on it. They still do different things, but they operate differently in different environments that are found on earth. […] "Melatonin is an aromatic chemical that's made from the aromatic amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan absorbs 200 to 400 nm light. It excites π electrons. It's created by your mitochondria. Your mitochondria is a time machine just like bitcoin is. Melatonin is the time crystal that mitochondria make to tell time. […] When you put blue light on, it lowers your melatonin level, and it fucks up your hash rate, it fucks up your difficulty adjustment. And guess what happens? The value of your life goes down. And you feel that in less time. You become Steve Jobs. How is that for some quantum entanglement?" Steve: "Yeah, and he tried to become a fruitarian too." Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] So there's a lesson there for bitcoiners." Steve: "Yes? And what's the lesson?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "The lesson is if you eat like a vegan and you own bitcoin, you're probably going to wind up like Steve Jobs, dead at 50 or 60 years old and never be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Same thing is true with people who abuse technology. Most, unfortunately, bitcoin maxis are tech abusers, which is part of the reason my message needs to get out to them. Most maxis tend to be millennials that hate boomers. The problem is, this is the one fucking boomer you better listen to because I understand bitcoin and your biology better than you do. I'm trying to reserve time for you. Nothing is a bigger epic fail to own a shit ton of bitcoin and be dead at 50 years old."

Huntington is a devastating genetic disease, not a mitochondrial disease. Nevertheless, it still benefits from optimizing light, water and magnetism. 'Never not see the sunrise. I want you to go from the bottom of Australia to the top and I want you to import you water.' Dr. Jack Kruse: "That's part of the reason why I tell people who are sick Aussies, you listen to me. The smartest thing for you to do is go up to the top of the island so you can get to about six latitude north and then import your water. [...] I'll tell you guys a story because she'll probably listen to this and I know this will help her. She has a genetic disease and she's cool with me talking about it. She's got Huntington's and you know Huntington's is a devastating disease. It's a genetic one, not a mitochondrial. Most people get get it in the mid-50s and you basically die from a horrible neurologic death. "So most people in Australia don't know that the highest incidence of Huntington's disease is in that is in Tasmania. And Tasmania, as you guys know, is like 40 to 45 latitude south. And what people haven't realized in the Huntington's community there is that if they just moved to the top of the island that they would do much better. So Rochelle has been a member of mine for about six years. When she started off, she knew less than you guys did. And she's actually in law enforcement, just so you know this, so she doesn't have any basic science background. And she said to me, 'Jack, I go to the doctor and it's devastating. They're telling me I need to get my will in order and this and that.' She goes, 'What can I do?' And guess what I told her? Just what I told you guys, right? 'Never not see the sunrise. I want you to go from the bottom of the island to the top and I want you to import you water.' "Happy to tell you, she's eight years later, she has no signs of the disease. She pissed off her family, she pissed off her kids, and the reason I'm really proud of her, and the reason why I'm talking about her on this podcast, because a lot of her idiot friends that have made fun of her hopefully will listen to this. I told her this and I can't say this enough. Who are you good for if you're not good enough for yourself? And she got the message. And she did the very unpopular thing. "So when Cyndi asked me, 'Tell me the top three things.' Let me just tell you something, Cyndi. You really need to know the top 10 things when you live on a continent that's dying faster than any other continent on this planet. If you want to settle, you do so. But I got news for you. The people that are going to listen to this podcast, this is designed to be a full frontal assault to your intelligence because what you believe is the big problem. And until you get this message that this is going on all around you while you're oblivious to it, then you'll begin to understand why you're in deep shit where you are. "And the greatest thing about humans is we have the ability to change our reality by changing our mind, and changing what we believe, and changing what we do. We're the only animal on this planet that can break all of nature's laws by a choice. See, I don't have to teach lions and hippos quantum physics. Do you know why? They live by nature's law. They don't break it. But we do it every single time. We're doing it right now by getting this message out." Dr. Jack Kruse with Cyndi O'Meara & Kim Morrison @ 01:02:47–01:06:10 (posted 2019-03-25)

All-cause mortality is reduced by sunlight. The other two things needed for good health are water & magnetism. Australians need better water. Leptin prescription & cold thermogenesis protocol teach fundamentals of light, water & magnetism Dr. Jack Kruse: "There's been nine meta analysis done […] worldwide. […] All-cause mortality is reduced by the sunlight globally. […] Every single disease on planet earth, this includes melanoma, is reduced by solar exposure. It also means that blue light exposure and non-native EMF shorten life. So when you understand this fundamentally, and then you think about the things going on in the streets of Sydney, with slathering sunscreen on kids and telling them to wear sunglasses. Do you realize that you guys are making this exponentially worse? You know why? Because you're blaming it on the wrong thing. And it's absolutely idiotic for you to think in Australia that the sun somehow is different there than it is right here in New Orleans. […] "I think you need to get message out to people because you need to understand […] there's two other legs of the stool. See, NASA goes to look for extraterrestrial life and they use three things: they look for light, water and magnetism. And it turns out Australia's real big problem is the other two legs of the stool. That's the real reason you have the problem. […] "The last study was done in Sweden in 2016 that showed that all-cause mortality […] is reduced by sunlight. Going out in the sun is absolutely a smart move. "The problem is you got to fix the other two parts. […] It turns out you have a little bit too much deuterium in your system based on the location of your island continent and where you all live. See, you live in a desert, and all of you live on the exterior of that desert, on the edge. Nobody lives in the middle. And if you know anything about the way nature builds deuterium in the water supply, it turns out that in around deserts, especially with latitude, the deuterium level is worse at the shorelines. It's best at mountains, it's best where it's freezing cold, it's best at high latitudes. These are all places that are not present in Australia. But you have a neighbor in New Zealand where it's actually pretty good. And they don't have the same problems that you guys have. […] And there's definitely a big difference. […] It turns out the way water works, the hydrology cycle on Earth, that the best water is at the highest latitudes. […] "The issue really is, is that you have to understand nature. That's really what my message was in the leptin prescription and the cold thermogenesis protocol, because it teaches you the fundamentals of how that three-legged stool really operates. Because when you begin to understand it, […] all you have to know is what the key metrics are to get things correct for where you are, and you can do well."
