1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,440
What if I told you that after a decade of relying on glasses every single day, I healed my eyesight dramatically without surgery or meds.

2
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:17,700
Each morning, wearing my glasses, putting them on, gone. And it all started with a patch.

3
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:22,440
Stick around and hear how this miracle happened. And it does feel like a miracle.

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,520
And why the eye care industry, they don't want you to find out about it.

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,920
Welcome back to those of you who are regular listeners and welcome to anyone new that's here.

6
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:38,780
My name is Jake and I like to explore investing through the lens of humanistic, intellectual and financial capital.

7
00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:43,160
And this episode is a classic example of humanistic capital.

8
00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:49,120
In particular, I love real life stories, which is why this is actually something that I've done.

9
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:53,300
I have proof. I tried it on myself. It's benefited me.

10
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:58,040
and I believe if you're someone that struggles with your eyesight, it can also benefit you

11
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
or anyone that you might know that struggles with their eyesight.

17
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,020
Now, let me set a bit of a picture.

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,600
So my father, he wore contact lenses all the time and glasses.

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,220
And I always wondered when I was growing up, I was like, huh, is that ever going to happen to me?

20
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,200
Like many things, you know, you're growing up, you're asking questions.

21
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,020
And the truth is, yes, it was going to happen to me.

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,520
In my late teens, which is apparently very common, I was at uni and I'd be walking across the park

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,760
and I actually couldn't see the detail of someone's face until they got closer to me.

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,540
So often people would be like saying hello to me.

25
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:52,140
and I would be basically blanking them.

26
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,160
I wouldn't even know who they were.

27
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,900
Or I'd get into the university lecture hall

28
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:57,920
and I'd have to sit in the front few rows

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,060
because I couldn't see what was on the slides.

30
00:02:01,660 --> 00:02:03,520
It's like, shit, my eyes are getting worse.

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,740
And so you go and get an eye test.

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,780
They're like, yep, you're short-sighted.

33
00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:08,660
Like, oh, crap.

34
00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:09,820
So what have I got to do?

35
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,660
And you go and fiddle around in the glasses section.

36
00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:14,420
You try and choose a pair that you think you like.

37
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,400
They're just such a foreign thing to wear

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,100
that you just hate all of them.

39
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,700
and you buy the pair that you like the least

40
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:22,360
or that you hate the least, sorry.

41
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:24,520
And, you know, you whip them out in a lecture hall

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,220
for the first time.

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,420
And everyone's like, oh, glasses, nice.

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,800
You're like, oh, shit, okay.

45
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:30,120
I'm a guy that wears glasses.

46
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:30,980
What's going on here?

47
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:34,680
So I decided I liked wearing contacts, you know,

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,760
because people couldn't tell.

49
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:38,880
But I lived in a house with seven other blokes

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,060
and it was a crazy time to say the very least.

51
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:44,640
And through that process, it's like,

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,620
oh, I was just really bad at looking after contact lenses.

53
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:50,520
And so it didn't really work from that perspective.

54
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,340
Because I would get sore, dry eyes.

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,020
I'd be trying to pull them out like a late day of partying,

56
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:58,800
like put them back into these little containers.

57
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:00,900
You're like, is this right?

58
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:01,820
My hands even clean?

59
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:03,080
I didn't know what I was doing.

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,300
And it was just crap, right?

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,640
You're looking after something in a way that you hadn't had to experience before.

62
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,340
Like, how do I figure this out?

63
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:11,520
What's going on?

64
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:12,820
Why have my eyes got worse?

65
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:21,580
now when I got into to work as a broker um 23 turning 24 and suddenly you're in an office

66
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:27,160
environment you're looking at you know computer screens for multiple hours per day and you just

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,420
you cannot wear contact lenses in that environment in my experience because your eyes just by the end

68
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:37,220
of the day they're just so dry from wearing contacts that it's just horrible so you start

69
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:42,060
wearing glasses a lot lot more and that was really the beginning of what was basically a decade-long

70
00:03:42,060 --> 00:03:47,260
process where i just wore glasses all the time and like i touched on at the start like i'd wake up

71
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:51,740
in the morning the first thing i'd do is put on a pair of glasses everything i did until like perhaps

72
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:56,540
like just before jumping into a pool or jumping into the ocean or perhaps playing football but

73
00:03:56,540 --> 00:04:00,460
even playing sport i would prefer to wear contacts because i couldn't see the ball properly unless i

74
00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:04,220
was you know wearing a pair of contacts but then i wore contacts less and less and then i didn't

75
00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:08,620
have them at home and i was like i want to play some sport but i can't i tried playing golf being

76
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:09,880
being short-sighted, like hopeless.

77
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:12,000
Driving, another big one.

78
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,260
You can't see the signs properly

79
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:14,420
until they get much closer.

80
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:17,620
Anyway, I used to love wearing

81
00:04:17,620 --> 00:04:19,860
a particular brand of glasses called Moscot.

82
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:21,900
And you get used to them, right?

83
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,940
That's the style that I like.

84
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,420
And I'd have slightly different colors in them.

85
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:26,080
And then I would get these clip-ons

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,680
that would come on for when it was sunny.

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,500
And I was like, oh, this is actually a great way of doing it.

88
00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:30,900
Like I get sunglasses all the time.

89
00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:33,860
You know, you're out traveling or commuting to work.

90
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:34,400
You're like, sweet, well,

91
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,920
I've already got my sunnies on me essentially.

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,180
And they're just a little pouch

93
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:38,780
that would pop into your pocket.

94
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,100
You're like, okay, cool.

95
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,160
Well, that's awesome.

96
00:04:41,260 --> 00:04:43,180
I'm handling this problem.

97
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:46,520
But of course, like you're glossing over

98
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,020
what is the ultimate problem here.

99
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:49,760
You can't see properly.

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,960
And you kind of forget like, what does that mean?

101
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,860
If I can't see at distance,

102
00:04:55,860 --> 00:05:00,060
like I don't have the capacity to function correctly

103
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:00,900
in many ways.

104
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:02,420
Now I've got the solution.

105
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,260
I can use glasses.

106
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,580
I can see so much better.

107
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,840
It's in many ways,

108
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:11,240
it radically improves your life you're like oh great why wouldn't i use this tool all the time

109
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,660
and you know you go into the optometrist and it's it's so fascinating this because

110
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:20,020
there's all of these beautiful designer glasses on show and you come in and there's this like

111
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:23,860
trendy looking dude who might serve you and before you know it you walk out it's like okay well the

112
00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:29,280
frames cost me 250 quid then the glass lenses themselves cost me another hundred or so quid

113
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,180
but i went for the ones that were like the blue light blocker as well and you've been upsold every

114
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:37,500
step of the way having had like an eye test then you've got the glasses then you've got the backup

115
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:56,956
concept lenses you spent 500 quid you know a thousand dollars is gone in the optometrist you like okay well maybe that just something i have to deal with because my eyes are bad and i want to wear a pair of glasses every day that i actually like you make all these justifications and you thinking okay well cool whatever but but like

116
00:05:56,956 --> 00:06:04,436
in life many things they things change and things pop up and new information appears and that is

117
00:06:04,436 --> 00:06:10,236
what the story of this episode is going to be about it's like what two years ago maybe you know

118
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:12,056
I'm 35.

119
00:06:12,576 --> 00:06:16,336
I've been wearing glasses constantly for 10 years plus.

120
00:06:17,036 --> 00:06:19,716
And my wife starts sending some things on Instagram.

121
00:06:20,856 --> 00:06:22,136
A guy called Cultivate Elevate.

122
00:06:22,136 --> 00:06:29,816
He's got this really interesting Instagram page talking about lots of alternative health practices and cell supplements.

123
00:06:30,636 --> 00:06:33,196
And I'll link this in the show notes so you can go and check it out.

124
00:06:33,236 --> 00:06:35,616
But a supplement that he has called Pearl Powder.

125
00:06:36,596 --> 00:06:38,676
You're like, okay, what the hell is Pearl Powder?

126
00:06:38,676 --> 00:06:42,836
and he was talking about rubbing it on your eyes like this literally as simple as that

127
00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:48,356
and having it in supplementation so in certain drinks you might have or in certain foods

128
00:06:48,356 --> 00:06:54,996
okay well that that sounds awesome like can that be true and for the first time in my life

129
00:06:54,996 --> 00:07:01,796
someone was speaking about the ability to regenerate your eyesight and that caught my

130
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:06,096
attention of course it did because oh what if i could get through every day with without wearing

131
00:07:06,096 --> 00:07:11,336
glasses and you know i suddenly started seeing a few photographs of myself and i was like god i'm

132
00:07:11,336 --> 00:07:15,856
literally wearing fucking glasses all the time everywhere you got pictures with your kid or

133
00:07:15,856 --> 00:07:21,296
whatever the case might be like your life is going through the lenses he's a glasses wearer and that's

134
00:07:21,296 --> 00:07:25,616
okay if you choose to be like that or if you feel like you have to be like because of your condition

135
00:07:25,616 --> 00:07:32,816
but what do you mean you can regenerate your eyes and i'm like well i'm skeptical but let's try so

136
00:07:32,816 --> 00:07:35,996
I started playing around with pearl powder as a supplement.

137
00:07:37,956 --> 00:07:40,396
As I said, go and check out the link that I'll put below.

138
00:07:40,676 --> 00:07:42,356
The truth is I didn't have much success.

139
00:07:42,696 --> 00:07:44,956
I dropped off pretty quickly.

140
00:07:45,656 --> 00:07:49,816
That's in spite of there being a really good background

141
00:07:49,816 --> 00:07:52,536
as to why pearl powder is helpful from an eyesight perspective.

142
00:07:52,756 --> 00:07:54,716
It has proven to work.

143
00:07:55,196 --> 00:07:56,496
It's not something I would write off.

144
00:07:56,696 --> 00:07:57,696
Do go and have a look at it.

145
00:07:58,656 --> 00:08:00,136
The real turning point came,

146
00:08:00,136 --> 00:08:02,976
Shout out to Dr. Simon Floriani.

147
00:08:03,136 --> 00:08:09,196
Simon, who's been our chiro for a number of years now and helped hugely with our young family and all sorts of different things.

148
00:08:09,276 --> 00:08:10,076
But we went to see him once.

149
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:12,556
He's like, oh, mate, you've got to try these X39 patches.

150
00:08:12,696 --> 00:08:13,716
I'm like, what are you talking about?

151
00:08:14,496 --> 00:08:21,636
And he starts banging on about this cool company called LifeWave and how interesting a form of stem cell regeneration technology it is.

152
00:08:21,956 --> 00:08:24,396
A non-invasive process.

153
00:08:24,536 --> 00:08:25,796
You're like, wow, this is really cool.

154
00:08:25,796 --> 00:08:32,256
so that conversation and that was probably at the very beginning of 2024 so about 18 months ago

155
00:08:32,256 --> 00:08:38,136
that has changed my life like absolutely 110 percent like thank you simon for introducing me

156
00:08:38,136 --> 00:08:44,556
to this new healthcare product that for me that the risks were clearly very low because of the

157
00:08:44,556 --> 00:08:49,656
type of product that it was but equally like the benefits have been absolutely incredible and not

158
00:08:49,656 --> 00:08:55,256
just for me there's other people that i'll explain in a bit so like what the hell is x39

159
00:08:55,256 --> 00:09:03,776
and who are life wave um well it's a type of what's called phototherapy and it's a small patch

160
00:09:03,776 --> 00:09:07,456
it's the kind of thing that looks like what you would wear if you're giving up smoking right the

161
00:09:07,456 --> 00:09:13,636
nicotine patches that people wear and what it does is it harnesses the body's infrared light

162
00:09:13,636 --> 00:09:19,116
right this is something that you emit naturally and it reflects it back via organic crystals in

163
00:09:19,116 --> 00:09:26,036
the patch to stimulate acupuncture points on the skin you're like what what the hell so you're

164
00:09:26,036 --> 00:09:31,736
basically walking around wearing this thing having an acupuncture session at the same time so there's

165
00:09:31,736 --> 00:09:39,016
no drugs it's completely non-invasive um it's called non-transdermal now i don't know exactly

166
00:09:39,016 --> 00:09:42,736
what that word means that's what came up in part of my research so i'll have to have a look into

167
00:09:42,736 --> 00:09:48,736
that myself but it's quite an interesting concept elevating your copper peptides something called

168
00:09:48,736 --> 00:09:56,736
GHKCU and it activates your stem cells for regeneration. Now like a lot of things right

169
00:09:56,736 --> 00:10:01,616
I don't know how my iPhone works but it works. I don't know how my car works but it works.

170
00:10:02,056 --> 00:10:05,876
Same thing here right I don't know the intricacies of exactly how this develops

171
00:10:05,876 --> 00:10:11,816
or what the technology is but I thought fuck it let's try. What have I got to lose right

172
00:10:11,816 --> 00:10:19,936
and the long story short of what the the product is designed to do is it kick-starts a natural

173
00:10:19,936 --> 00:10:24,956
repair process within the body so in the same way that you might go to an osteopath session

174
00:10:24,956 --> 00:10:31,356
they help move the energy around and spark a a regeneration in your body or an acupuncture

175
00:10:31,356 --> 00:10:37,056
session is another great example of that this is the same thing but with a wearable it's like does

176
00:10:37,056 --> 00:10:42,356
it work and you can go and find out more details i listened to the founder he's a guy called david

177
00:10:42,356 --> 00:10:48,276
schmidt he described himself as an inventor which i really love and he spent a lot of time developing

178
00:10:48,276 --> 00:10:54,036
all sorts of different technologies um in the podcast episode again i'll link this in the show

179
00:10:54,036 --> 00:10:59,616
notes below so you can go and go and listen to it yourself just a great story of someone who is an

180
00:10:59,616 --> 00:11:06,236
entrepreneurial innovator that's right on the cusp of a certain type of technology now he also

181
00:11:06,236 --> 00:11:10,456
references the military and part of this technology came out of working with submarines

182
00:11:10,456 --> 00:11:16,656
and it's it's kind of a similar process to a lot of things that we have in day-to-day life where

183
00:11:16,656 --> 00:11:22,136
a government funding program and military requirement develops a technology that ends

184
00:11:22,136 --> 00:11:27,796
up being commercialized into the um into the wider space for the public and that's obviously

185
00:11:27,796 --> 00:11:38,232
to me at least that a clear innovation path that i seen before and i really respect right It works And it was created and built by people that know what they doing right

186
00:11:38,952 --> 00:11:44,512
So LifeWave itself is now a big business, but it's focused on holistic health.

187
00:11:44,772 --> 00:11:49,172
And it's got a really interesting marketing program that I'll also explain in a bit where

188
00:11:49,172 --> 00:11:54,712
it's very similar to a company called doTERRA, if you know who they are, in that you can

189
00:11:54,712 --> 00:11:56,032
sign up as a reseller.

190
00:11:56,032 --> 00:11:59,072
and they have people, if you sign up a reseller underneath you,

191
00:11:59,192 --> 00:12:01,212
then you benefit from the sales that they create.

192
00:12:01,672 --> 00:12:04,672
And essentially, when you dig into the details,

193
00:12:04,772 --> 00:12:08,492
it's such a nice alignment for a customer and a company

194
00:12:08,492 --> 00:12:12,652
when the sales revenue is generated by a team of people

195
00:12:12,652 --> 00:12:15,392
that benefit from the product itself and who they're selling to.

196
00:12:15,872 --> 00:12:17,312
So I like that incentive alignment.

197
00:12:18,492 --> 00:12:22,752
And long story short, the business is disruptive, right?

198
00:12:22,752 --> 00:12:28,572
It's using forward-thinking technology that is actually having benefits, right?

199
00:12:29,152 --> 00:12:34,232
So I'm going to pop in the show notes a link where I'm also a reseller.

200
00:12:34,332 --> 00:12:35,112
It's something I do casually.

201
00:12:35,212 --> 00:12:36,052
You don't have to use my link.

202
00:12:36,232 --> 00:12:38,552
By all means, use another, but you get a discount if you do it through me.

203
00:12:39,752 --> 00:12:43,232
And the benefits of the product are brilliant, right?

204
00:12:43,272 --> 00:12:46,012
So I'm going to share exactly how I did that in just a second.

205
00:12:46,012 --> 00:12:52,392
it's not just transformed my life in terms of how I go about my day-to-day because my vision has

206
00:12:52,392 --> 00:12:57,832
improved but there's other people that it helps as well so my wife uses a slightly different form

207
00:12:57,832 --> 00:13:03,292
of patch to help with her sleep at night time and a friend of mine shout out to Vonnie her elderly

208
00:13:03,292 --> 00:13:07,492
mother was struggling with her eyesight and heard about the story of my eyes improving and they

209
00:13:07,492 --> 00:13:14,072
bought some x39 patches for their mother I think she was about 90 years eight 90 years of age and

210
00:13:14,072 --> 00:13:21,312
she's seen huge improvements as well so it's it's anecdotal yes but go and try it out right

211
00:13:21,312 --> 00:13:28,412
i've seen great benefits um now how right that's what you're probably thinking right now so okay

212
00:13:28,412 --> 00:13:33,332
jake you've told us the backstory you've explained to us this kind of eureka moment it's like how do

213
00:13:33,332 --> 00:13:39,732
you actually do this so 2024 jan i think was when simon told me about the patches so i went ahead

214
00:13:39,732 --> 00:13:40,952
and I bought three months worth.

215
00:13:41,832 --> 00:13:43,552
And what I started doing was

216
00:13:43,552 --> 00:13:46,132
I would apply one on this temple on my right

217
00:13:46,132 --> 00:13:48,212
overnight, 12 hours.

218
00:13:48,352 --> 00:13:50,272
And then the next night I'd switch it to the left.

219
00:13:50,392 --> 00:13:52,632
And I'd try and alternate from temple to temple

220
00:13:52,632 --> 00:13:54,992
with the idea of it like focusing here

221
00:13:54,992 --> 00:13:57,632
on my eye area in specifics.

222
00:13:58,292 --> 00:13:59,892
What I now do, frankly,

223
00:13:59,952 --> 00:14:02,232
is I just wear them on the base of my neck each night.

224
00:14:02,912 --> 00:14:06,632
And I find that that's easier

225
00:14:06,632 --> 00:14:08,732
because otherwise I'd forget which temple I'd had it on, right?

226
00:14:08,732 --> 00:14:16,572
now within three months and i'm not joking like miraculous shift and what started happening is my

227
00:14:16,572 --> 00:14:21,132
eyes i noticed i was getting headaches it's like god damn it why am i getting headaches i was

228
00:14:21,132 --> 00:14:27,592
getting headaches because i was wearing glasses that were too strong for me it's like oh well

229
00:14:27,592 --> 00:14:32,012
this is interesting and so i'd be like walking around i could see more stuff without the glasses

230
00:14:32,012 --> 00:14:38,272
on i'd be driving i could see signs better it's like oh my gosh my eyesight's changed and i didn't

231
00:14:38,272 --> 00:14:43,512
get them tested and stupidly I didn't test them directly before starting this process it would

232
00:14:43,512 --> 00:14:50,792
have been a better kind of scientific exercise but my eyes had been minus 1.5 or minus 1.75

233
00:14:50,792 --> 00:14:59,212
short-sighted for a decade but they really hadn't got any worse or any better than that range right

234
00:14:59,212 --> 00:15:04,152
and so I wore these things for three months and I just started noticing I could see better and my

235
00:15:04,152 --> 00:15:07,992
as I said I was getting headaches from glasses that previously were suitable to me it's like

236
00:15:07,992 --> 00:15:14,032
right i've got to go and get my eyes tested and it's like holy shit you've only got 0.75 minus

237
00:15:14,032 --> 00:15:22,932
short sight what so i'd i'd improve my eyesight by 50 like not like oh one or two percent better

238
00:15:22,932 --> 00:15:29,332
like literally like they were half as bad as what they were and the optometrist that did the testing

239
00:15:29,332 --> 00:15:35,032
was like completely blown away and and tried to say that oh well you know you've moved out of the

240
00:15:35,032 --> 00:15:38,732
city up to Byron Bay and therefore it's an environmental change or you're not doing as

241
00:15:38,732 --> 00:15:43,112
much laptop work so it's probably because of that or you're not wearing glasses as much it's like

242
00:15:43,112 --> 00:15:50,332
anything that he could try and use as a reason for the eyesight's improving that wasn't the patches

243
00:15:50,332 --> 00:15:55,812
he was trying to you know peg it on right cool cool whatever of course you're you're not going

244
00:15:55,812 --> 00:16:02,152
to see it how I see it he then shared with me that he was using a drug to try and grow his hair back

245
00:16:02,152 --> 00:16:08,732
and to me that's someone who is a pharmaceutical maxi that's interested in the outcome that he's

246
00:16:08,732 --> 00:16:13,412
sold but doesn't look at the negative externalities of what those drugs may or may not do it's like

247
00:16:13,412 --> 00:16:18,672
okay cool that's your choices please proceed but in this case it's like what were the side effects

248
00:16:18,672 --> 00:16:26,232
of this well it's a non-invasive non-drug non-surgery based process like it's it's got far

249
00:16:26,232 --> 00:16:31,952
fewer negative externalities and i've not found any myself it's like hang on a sec so i've just

250
00:16:31,952 --> 00:16:38,852
improved my eyesight by half like half of my problem has gone you're like wow that is a massive

251
00:16:38,852 --> 00:16:46,452
change now i should point out that that was let's say it was q1 2024 when i started wearing these

252
00:16:46,452 --> 00:16:51,432
things we're now like the end of q2 and i've had my eyes tested and my eyes have radically improved

253
00:16:51,432 --> 00:16:55,832
so in the middle of last year and i thought fuck it i'll wear these things a lot more and i wore

254
00:16:55,832 --> 00:17:00,972
them again for another three to six months have my eyes tested again and the improvement had plateaued

255
00:17:00,972 --> 00:17:26,948
So they still sitting at minus 0 But what does that mean on a day to day basis I no longer reach out for glasses every morning Like I don wear glasses any longer except for if it potentially sunny except if I watching TV at night And if I driving when it dark it helpful to have a pair of glasses on that a massive massive massive change and how cool is that right like I healed my eyesight to an

256
00:17:26,948 --> 00:17:34,028
extent where it's radically improved my life now what this means is like the body is a healing

257
00:17:34,028 --> 00:17:42,348
organism right like the the optician or the eye care market it's selling a plaster to a symptom

258
00:17:42,348 --> 00:17:49,048
it's selling a cover-up or a solution that is only surface level it's not actually looking at

259
00:17:49,048 --> 00:17:54,608
the root cause and that's where this is so cool and the fact that my eyes are still at 0.75 shows

260
00:17:54,608 --> 00:17:59,068
that the improvements that have been created although they've stalled at this at this level

261
00:17:59,068 --> 00:18:05,328
not like 20-20 eyesight but it's stayed like that it hasn't then retreated again you hear stories

262
00:18:05,328 --> 00:18:09,708
for example of people that go and get eye surgery or laser treatment and their eyes go back to being

263
00:18:09,708 --> 00:18:15,068
just as bad a couple years later. It's like, shit, what are the negative externalities of that?

264
00:18:15,168 --> 00:18:20,628
They might be blind when they're older. Who knows? I joke because I haven't been down that rabbit

265
00:18:20,628 --> 00:18:25,408
hole far enough, but I'm like, I didn't like the idea of having my eyes lasered. But the point is,

266
00:18:25,448 --> 00:18:31,188
is we can self-heal. And so why aren't we spending more time? This is a classic humanistic

267
00:18:31,188 --> 00:18:35,448
investment, right? It's not about the cost financially. It's about what do you get from it?

268
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:39,048
And it's hard to create an ROI on your eyesight, right?

269
00:18:39,548 --> 00:18:41,328
But the optician business is massive.

270
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:44,008
Like, of course, they have an incentive to keep selling your glasses,

271
00:18:44,508 --> 00:18:45,768
keep selling your contact lenses.

272
00:18:45,988 --> 00:18:48,508
What a lovely little subscription model they've got there.

273
00:18:48,888 --> 00:18:51,308
They have no incentive to heal the root cause.

274
00:18:51,728 --> 00:18:53,568
In fact, that's why that guy was trying to tell me

275
00:18:53,568 --> 00:18:55,548
that it was all these other different environmental factors

276
00:18:55,548 --> 00:18:57,808
that had improved my eyesight rather than being like,

277
00:18:57,848 --> 00:19:00,568
oh, maybe this new tool is better at healing eyes

278
00:19:00,568 --> 00:19:02,548
than what I've been trained my whole life to do.

279
00:19:02,548 --> 00:19:08,228
so that to me is like that's an interesting insight right why aren't more people trying

280
00:19:08,228 --> 00:19:12,648
this and hence the reason for this podcast like how is it not the case that your health

281
00:19:12,648 --> 00:19:18,428
is part of your wealth and I had a great uh there was a great talk I went to once so what's the

282
00:19:18,428 --> 00:19:23,408
point of multi-generational wealth without multi-generational health there's no point in

283
00:19:23,408 --> 00:19:28,568
the wealth if you're not healthy and so starting to spend time thinking about this stuff is really

284
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:33,188
really important and in this case incredibly easy buy a bunch of these patches whether at night

285
00:19:33,188 --> 00:19:39,288
when you're sleeping and you might just heal your eyesight right now i also believe and this is where

286
00:19:39,288 --> 00:19:44,468
this gets a little bit more spiritual and philosophical that by improving my eyesight

287
00:19:44,468 --> 00:19:50,588
it's actually helping me think more clearly and have a better decision making process

288
00:19:50,588 --> 00:19:58,008
like i'm just a i'm a better human being because of having better eyesight so it it links nicely

289
00:19:58,008 --> 00:20:02,268
that that sense of sovereignty right i'm not i'm no longer connected to my glasses

290
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:08,568
and the flip side being like what does it mean when every day you wake up you're putting on

291
00:20:08,568 --> 00:20:15,508
glasses you can't you can't see properly right one of your senses is is dulled when it could

292
00:20:15,508 --> 00:20:22,748
it could be reversed by trying a process like this like the the well the opportunity is yours

293
00:20:22,748 --> 00:20:26,548
of course right when this information enters your life you have to do something about it if you

294
00:20:26,548 --> 00:20:31,208
choose. So when I started reading about pearl powder, all these X39 patches, I could have done

295
00:20:31,208 --> 00:20:36,988
nothing. I could still be wearing glasses today, but I haven't. And I did something and now I've

296
00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:42,088
healed them. And it's incredibly empowering. It's like, well, what else can I heal? There are other

297
00:20:42,088 --> 00:20:47,228
things that I want to improve about my health and I will. And I'll share as I get the benefits or

298
00:20:47,228 --> 00:20:52,388
the disbenefits of whatever I try. So I no longer need the crutch of a set of glasses.

299
00:20:52,388 --> 00:20:58,148
like that's fucking awesome so it enhances my life it makes my decision making better improves

300
00:20:58,148 --> 00:21:06,308
my presence i think it actually gives me a better um way of seeing into other people as well like i

301
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:11,228
have better eyesight i can see i can see okay that person's going to cause me some trouble

302
00:21:11,228 --> 00:21:16,068
oh this person's the right way to go and it really builds into this idea of okay every single day

303
00:21:16,068 --> 00:21:19,308
what can you do with ease, kindness, and grace?

304
00:21:19,768 --> 00:21:21,228
And if you're able to operate

305
00:21:21,228 --> 00:21:23,728
at those very, very high frequency levels,

306
00:21:23,728 --> 00:21:26,088
then you are making better decisions

307
00:21:26,088 --> 00:21:27,868
and your life is progressing faster

308
00:21:27,868 --> 00:21:28,828
than it could be elsewhere

309
00:21:28,828 --> 00:21:30,928
and you're living the best life you can.

310
00:21:31,288 --> 00:21:32,628
And that's ultimately what this is about,

311
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:34,928
this humanistic side of capital.

312
00:21:35,288 --> 00:21:38,148
If you're not harnessing humanistic capital,

313
00:21:38,248 --> 00:21:40,208
if you're not nurturing humanistic capital,

314
00:21:40,488 --> 00:21:43,228
you will burn out and you will die

315
00:21:43,228 --> 00:21:45,428
or you will get very, very sick

316
00:21:45,428 --> 00:21:47,628
and you won't be able to carry on doing what you've been doing.

317
00:21:48,208 --> 00:21:50,028
Like my father, for example, shout out to him.

318
00:21:50,708 --> 00:21:52,088
He worked himself to death.

319
00:21:52,748 --> 00:21:53,808
48, had a heart attack.

320
00:21:54,628 --> 00:21:58,168
And it's because in my opinion, you know, RIP dad,

321
00:21:58,548 --> 00:22:02,128
he never slowed down and focused on this humanistic side of things

322
00:22:02,128 --> 00:22:05,648
to the extent that it just completely blew him away.

323
00:22:06,228 --> 00:22:08,328
He thought he could just outwork all his problems.

324
00:22:08,908 --> 00:22:10,268
But was that true?

325
00:22:10,648 --> 00:22:13,048
And I think we all know people like this in our life, right?

326
00:22:13,048 --> 00:22:15,668
Everyone's just absolutely hammering it, hammering it, hammering it, hammering it.

327
00:22:16,148 --> 00:22:17,788
But at what cost?

328
00:22:18,928 --> 00:22:20,248
What's your eyesight like?

329
00:22:20,668 --> 00:22:21,248
Is it good?

330
00:22:21,428 --> 00:22:22,008
Is it bad?

331
00:22:22,128 --> 00:22:22,848
Could it be better?

332
00:22:23,328 --> 00:22:25,668
Have you ever tried something like this to improve it?

333
00:22:26,288 --> 00:22:33,048
Your body can heal if you give it the right tools, like some of the tools we've explored today.
