1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,920
You've had a dynamic where money has become freer than free.

2
00:00:10,780 --> 00:00:13,040
You talk about a Fed just gone nuts.

3
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:15,700
All the central banks going nuts.

4
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:17,880
So it's all acting like safe haven.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,500
I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their

6
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:25,260
currency, Bitcoin wins.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,480
In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor.

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,380
I mean, that's part of the bull case for Bitcoin.

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,260
If you're not paying attention, you probably should be.

10
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:38,480
Dr. Amad Amus, welcome to the show.

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,660
Thanks, Marty. Thank you for having me.

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Like I was saying, this is going to be a good follow up to the previous episode with Jessica Rose and Kevin McKernan.

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:56,060
We really talked about the corruption of the peer review system within medicine, which is just one area of it.

14
00:00:56,060 --> 00:01:03,700
you're a practicing doctor and you've been writing a lot and talking a lot about fiat medicine. So I

15
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:09,740
think maybe we'll just start there, jump right into it. Fiat medicine, it's your term for what

16
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:15,300
you think is wrong. With healthcare, let's just walk through the thesis. How does fiat money

17
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:21,300
specifically corrupt medicine at the root level? And where do you see it most visibly day to day?

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,320
Yeah.

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,560
So thanks for the introduction.

20
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:31,820
Medicine, the way it is right now, is not how medicine was practiced 100 years ago.

21
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:33,400
Things are very different.

22
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:44,760
And things are different in a bad way, in a monopolistic way, where pharmaceutical companies have taken over the practice of medicine.

23
00:01:44,760 --> 00:02:02,100
And this was not possible without big government, without the Federal Reserve that is funding all of this and allowing certain institutions to take over medicine and dictate how doctors get to practice.

24
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:09,500
and so all of these problems started in the early 1900s so in 1903 the American Medical Association

25
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:14,900
was formed and the purpose of the American Medical Association was to standardize the practice of

26
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:21,940
medicine which sounds great on paper that you know oh we want all doctors to practice the same way so

27
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:29,240
that there are no snake oil salesmen that everyone's up to up to a certain expectation

28
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:37,060
But what actually happened is only pharmaceutical medicine was allowed to prosper.

29
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:43,780
Only medical schools teaching pharmaceutical medicine were allowed to continue their practice.

30
00:02:44,260 --> 00:02:45,780
And everything else was shut down.

31
00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:54,180
And this is why we live in a current state where all other healing modalities are suppressed.

32
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,560
And the only cure for anything is a pill.

33
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:07,100
And I saw you were tweeting earlier today or earlier this week, prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in the United States these days.

34
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:18,640
Correct. I mean, this is like this is such a crazy statistic that, you know, if if we live in actually a honest world, everyone would be jumping on this and trying to figure out why.

35
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:26,180
But this is like medications prescribed the way they should be prescribed are absolutely lethal.

36
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,200
They lead to side effects.

37
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,260
They lead to dysfunction in the body.

38
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:33,840
They lead you in order to need other medications.

39
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,940
And then these medications interact with each other.

40
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:43,360
And, you know, so many of the problems that I see with patients are simply because of the medications that they're taking.

41
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:57,480
And it's just pharmaceutical companies have such a huge propaganda and huge control over this entire field that nobody discusses this.

42
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:03,600
Can you talk about some hard examples of the side effects really?

43
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,260
Yeah, so I mean, the most prescribed medication in history are statins or cholesterol-lowering medications.

44
00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:20,420
And these are absolutely detrimental to the body because cholesterol is essential for all important functions in the body.

45
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:29,260
So cholesterol is an essential fat that's needed to regenerate your cell membranes, regenerate your neurons in your brains, make hormones.

46
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:33,440
It's needed for the immune system function.

47
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:41,760
And this medication drops cholesterol levels significantly, leading to disastrous consequences throughout the body.

48
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:51,040
So the way it's done is studies looking at statins only follow patients for five years maximum.

49
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,940
Some of them are done for even just only months.

50
00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:01,640
They see that it lowers the cholesterol level and that necessarily, okay, so that is good for your heart and the product goes on the market.

51
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:08,380
But if someone gets a disease, often serious ones, 10 years from now, nobody connects it to the statin.

52
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:11,840
because there's no profit there.

53
00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:16,340
Honest researchers that make these connections

54
00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:18,080
and put that data out there,

55
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,480
their material is not getting published.

56
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,820
Journals are not going to accept their papers.

57
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:26,500
And that's because all these journals are funded

58
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,580
by the pharmaceutical industry.

59
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,000
Yeah, go listen.

60
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,140
No, you and I, but anybody listening to this

61
00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:37,500
should go listen to the episode with Jessica and Kevin

62
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:43,920
because we dove deep into that pub peer and just the whole research complex

63
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,040
and how it actually works, peer review and all of that.

64
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,700
It's completely politicized and corrupted with money.

65
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:57,500
But I think let's take a trip down memory lane and just talk about the history of this

66
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,200
because this has been building for, I think, over a century.

67
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,100
And you talk a lot about the Flexner Report and Rockefeller's influence specifically.

68
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:11,980
what's the five minute sort of overview of that seed that was planted over a century ago?

69
00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:19,460
Yeah. So, you know, when you, the definition of a doctor back in the 1800s was there are many kinds

70
00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:25,560
of doctors. So there were what we call allopathic doctors, which is the tradition, which is the

71
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,760
mainstream now Western sort of medicine, which works on suppressing symptoms, suppressing works

72
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,280
on mostly getting rid of symptoms.

73
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,480
That's how things are treated.

74
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:38,160
But there are also other healing modalities

75
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,860
that actually have a much longer history

76
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:45,380
of being practiced all over the world.

77
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:47,240
This includes homeopathy,

78
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:55,580
which aims to treat things naturally,

79
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,500
aim to understand the symptoms

80
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:04,080
and give a treatment that's complementary to that to help the body recover on its own.

81
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:11,080
Also, osteopaths and chiropractors were much more respected back then.

82
00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:17,560
And there were also naturopaths, which aim to heal people using just natural remedies, herbal remedies.

83
00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:22,640
So back then, someone who got sick would go to any one of these doctors.

84
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,720
You had the choice.

85
00:07:24,540 --> 00:07:28,840
If you thought that Western medicine was better for you, if you thought the pill was better for you,

86
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,760
you could go and do that. Then in 1903, the American Medical Association was formed in order

87
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:43,780
to standardize the practice of medicine. And then in 1910, they hired someone by the name of Abraham

88
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:51,620
Flexner, who wasn't really a doctor, but they hired them to the task of, we need to revamp and

89
00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:57,400
improve all of medical education in the U.S.

90
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:02,980
So Flexner went around the entire country looking at medical schools, and he eventually

91
00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:08,760
decided that all medical schools that are not teaching pharmaceutical-based medicine

92
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,400
need to be shut down.

93
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,580
So all of these naturopathic medical school, osteopathic medical schools, all of these

94
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:17,240
were shut down.

95
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,240
So more than 60% of U.S. medical schools were shut down in the early 1900s.

96
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:38,240
Flexner had strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry, and he was heavily funded also by the Rockefeller Foundation, where the Rockefeller Foundation also had heavy—

97
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,900
Rockefeller's pharmaceutical products were used, were turned into pharmaceutical drugs.

98
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:51,940
So there was a lot of benefit for them to push everyone to be on pills.

99
00:08:53,060 --> 00:09:03,460
Whether Rockefeller himself was aware of this is not clear because basically at a certain point, his foundation was just based on money he has given before and other people were running it.

100
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:12,020
So I don't want to throw Rockefeller under the train, but definitely his foundation had a huge part to play in this.

101
00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:15,740
And so 60% of U.S. medical schools were shut down.

102
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:22,200
Only doctors practicing pushing pills were allowed to prosper.

103
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,620
And this is the disastrous system that we live in right now, where nobody looks at lifestyle.

104
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:31,000
Nobody looks at natural treatments.

105
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:36,880
Nobody looks at natural things that have been used for hundreds of years.

106
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,060
The only cure is just a pill.

107
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Yeah, I've experienced, well, we have experienced this in our family.

108
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:52,360
I mean, I've always been skeptical of the medical industrial complex, but post COVID,

109
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,020
my wife, her skepticism increased significantly as well.

110
00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:01,400
And I mean, I feel fine sharing this.

111
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,600
I know she's comfortable sharing it because I think we've talked to many other couples

112
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,100
who've had troubles, but we had trouble conceiving our third child between after our second.

113
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:16,000
And she went to doctors, went to push pills and do some injections and stuff.

114
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,120
And she sort of faded that.

115
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,620
And we went the naturopathy way.

116
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:25,500
And after about six months of really fixing her diet and focusing on some herbal needs,

117
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:28,940
we were able to conceive and have our third child.

118
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:32,940
And something we experienced firsthand, this stuff does work.

119
00:10:33,460 --> 00:10:33,980
100%.

120
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:38,540
And there's just hundreds and hundreds of years of knowledge about all these things.

121
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:42,460
And overnight with the Flexner report, all of that was suppressed.

122
00:10:42,460 --> 00:10:50,400
And currently, you know, anyone who discusses natural ways of treatment is just simply labeled as a quack.

123
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,480
And we've lost all of that knowledge, unfortunately.

124
00:10:55,060 --> 00:11:02,040
And it's really, really frustrating for me because I've worked so hard to become a doctor and I studied so long.

125
00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:05,840
I did 11 years of training in order to become a doctor.

126
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,480
And I had to start from scratch to learn all these things.

127
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:30,540
And I mean, this is pretty well known now, but it's, you look at the way that doctors are taught through the university system in the curriculum that's put before them. And nutrition is basically an overthought, an afterthought. You maybe have one class on it and it's not even really taken seriously.

128
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:38,240
But this whole idea of preventative health care, particularly via good nutrition, is completely overlooked.

129
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,760
It's all pills and remedies, synthetic remedies.

130
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:49,380
Yeah, I had 40 minutes, one lecture that's 40 minutes long of nutritional education my entire medical career.

131
00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:57,280
And it was actually only, they just taught us how to dose insulin based on what patients ate.

132
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:04,520
that's all the nutritional education that i uh that i've ever gotten and now having

133
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:12,860
re-educated yourself how how much nutritional curriculum would you recommend for doctors like

134
00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:19,460
how important is is that aspect of of health it's it's extremely important and uh it's it's

135
00:12:19,460 --> 00:12:24,860
it's quite crazy to live in a world where doctors are tend to be some of the unhealthiest people you

136
00:12:24,860 --> 00:12:31,100
meet. And I have firsthand experience with this because I see them every day, my fellow physicians,

137
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:41,240
and they just live in a plane where your daily choices don't matter. You know, disease is this

138
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:48,640
thing that comes on you because of genetics, because of luck. And if you get sick, then you

139
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:54,540
need pills. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. And your daily choices just don't matter.

140
00:12:54,860 --> 00:13:06,620
And this is the fundamental issue that needs to be addressed with any medical education that's going to be successful, which is lifestyle matters.

141
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,220
Your day-to-day choices matter.

142
00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:15,600
And, you know, my coworkers think that I'm just crazy because I think about these things.

143
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,400
They still haven't realized that, no, no, this is what actually works.

144
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:26,640
And they're just so completely brainwashed by the system that they have no realization

145
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,240
about how important this stuff is.

146
00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:29,400
No.

147
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:41,700
And I guess let dive deeper into the incentives too because I think somebody in the turn of the 20th century 1900

148
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,040
were to see what the healthcare system looked like today,

149
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,500
they'd be completely petrified at the state of healthcare.

150
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:55,400
And hopefully, conversely, we can look back 50, 100 years,

151
00:13:56,580 --> 00:14:01,680
we can be in 2075, 2100, and look back and recognize like,

152
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:09,140
that anomalous period between 1913 and the mid 21st century was completely insane.

153
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:15,580
And I think both people in the past and in the future will look at the financial incentives

154
00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:20,660
and the corruption that money has introduced to the medical system specifically

155
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:26,920
and pinpoint that as the core problem at the root of this issue

156
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,820
is just the monetary incentives that exist to push bills.

157
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Yes, if readers are interested in actually digging through the weeds of who actually led to this entire system being the way it is, a very helpful book is called Murder by Injection by Eustace Mullins.

158
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:48,540
And he is the same person that wrote The Secrets of the Federal Reserve.

159
00:14:48,540 --> 00:15:03,160
And it's quite fascinating to see the same characters who were involved in creating the Federal Reserve, either them directly or their cousins or their best friends, were also involved in creating the medical system.

160
00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:06,760
Both are centralized.

161
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Both are aimed to just control people.

162
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,160
And it's not a coincidence that they happened at the same time.

163
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:25,500
And you could argue that probably the hijacking of the medical system is ultimately the strongest way they were able to control people.

164
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,680
health events in that time period. And CrowdHealth has been there. You pay a monthly fee,

165
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,120
you contribute to the crowd. We were paying $1,800 on Cobra as a family of three. Now we're paying

166
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,520
around $900 a month as a family of five. And that's with CrowdHealth and direct primary care.

167
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,540
You can opt out of health insurance. Go to joincrowdhealth.com slash TFTC. You're going to

168
00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:07,580
get $99 a month for the first three months if you use the code TFTC. Joincrowdhealth.com slash TFTC.

169
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,640
Sup, Freaks. This rip of TFTC was brought to you by our good friends at BitKey. BitKey makes Bitcoin

170
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:18,460
easy to use and hard to lose. It is a hardware wallet that natively embeds into a two or three

171
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:23,440
multi-sig. You have one key on the hardware wallet, one key on your mobile device and

172
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:29,220
Block stores a key in the cloud for you. This is an incredible hardware device for your friends and

173
00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:33,780
family or maybe yourself who have Bitcoin on exchanges and have for a long time, but

174
00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:38,060
haven't taken a step to self-custody because they're worried about the complications of

175
00:16:38,060 --> 00:16:42,300
setting up a private public key pair, securing that seed phrase, setting up a pin, setting up

176
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,640
So a passphrase again, BitKey makes it easy to use, hard to lose.

177
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,600
It's the easiest zero to one step, your first step to self-custody.

178
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,380
If you have friends and family on the exchanges who haven't moved it off, tell them to pick up a BitKey.

179
00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:59,020
Go to BitKey.World, use the key TFTC20 at checkout for 20% off your order.

180
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:02,140
That's BitKey.World, code TFTC20.

181
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:06,340
I think it's important too to highlight just how centralized it is because we're focusing on Big Pharma,

182
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,820
but there's multiple sort of players in this realm of centralized medicine.

183
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:15,620
and obviously a big pharma with the incentive to get the pills pushed because they're going to make

184
00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:23,360
a ton of money. But now you have the hospital systems, which are becoming highly centralized,

185
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,100
and then paired with the hospital systems, you have big insurance, and then paired with big

186
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:34,560
insurance, now you have the federal government stepping in, or at least for the last 12 years,

187
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:40,700
with Obamacare, the American Care Act, here in the United States specifically, and they all

188
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:47,020
sort of have this symbiotic relationship where they're all trying to basically grift and make

189
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:52,700
things as expensive and least effective as possible so they can increase their bottom line.

190
00:17:53,700 --> 00:18:00,220
Yes. And probably, I mean, the most centralized aspect about this is the issue of medical

191
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:07,460
guidelines. So, you know, a physician nowadays can't just go and practice medicine the way they

192
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:13,880
like. So, you know, there's a lot of information out there about what's the best thing to do for

193
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:21,180
a patient. So certain societies started forming, let's say the American College of Cardiology

194
00:18:21,180 --> 00:18:28,440
or the American Family Physicians Association, et cetera, to try and create guidelines or

195
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:36,340
just easier summaries for physicians to follow. And which sounds great on paper, you know,

196
00:18:36,340 --> 00:18:40,600
we're just going to simplify it so that not every physician has to read every paper out there.

197
00:18:41,140 --> 00:18:46,460
There's actually an estimate that in primary care alone, around 1,500 papers a day are published.

198
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,280
So it's impossible for a physician to just read all of these every day.

199
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:58,740
And so these guidelines were written there to kind of streamline the process.

200
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:05,800
but what is the crazy thing about this is all these societies that write the guidelines are

201
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:13,540
heavily funded by pharmaceutical industry it'd be a society of like nine doctors and eight of them

202
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:18,600
would have ties to pharmaceutical industry they pay them to go to on vacation they give them

203
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:26,340
research grants they uh they give them gifts frequently and so all of these guidelines are

204
00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:32,560
of course favored to certain medications and usually expensive medications rather than

205
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,580
generics that can be cheaper and help people save.

206
00:19:36,460 --> 00:19:43,180
And then these guidelines are actually used to go after physicians.

207
00:19:43,340 --> 00:19:47,260
So if you're not following the guidelines, if you are not following what the pharmaceutical

208
00:19:47,260 --> 00:19:51,120
company wants you to do, you're at risk of losing your license.

209
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:57,200
you are medically liable if you practice something that wasn't following the guidelines

210
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:05,180
you're at risk of going to jail so say say someone has high cholesterol and I believe that high

211
00:20:05,180 --> 00:20:12,480
cholesterol is not bad high cholesterol is actually good for you if I don't put them on a statin

212
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:18,660
and they get a heart attack which high cholesterol is not a link to heart attacks

213
00:20:18,660 --> 00:20:22,000
I am legally liable if they get that heart attack

214
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,520
however if I do put them on statins

215
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,660
and the statins themselves

216
00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:27,680
actually increase inflammation in the body

217
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,000
and could lead to heart attacks

218
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
and they do get a heart attack

219
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,360
then I'm not legally liable

220
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:33,720
because I follow the guidelines

221
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,040
so it's absolutely insane

222
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,460
it's just completely captured

223
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:41,100
and nobody can see past this insanity

224
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:41,720
without

225
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,600
if you dare speak against this

226
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,780
you're going to be ostracized

227
00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:46,980
you're going to be called a quack

228
00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:50,060
and you're just not going to be heard.

229
00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:51,000
You're not going to get published.

230
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,340
And that's how the system maintains itself.

231
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,540
Yeah, I think there's a massive cognitive dissonance problem

232
00:20:59,540 --> 00:21:02,220
within the medical industry.

233
00:21:02,620 --> 00:21:04,420
A lot of people are making a lot of money

234
00:21:04,420 --> 00:21:06,240
and they've spent a lot of time.

235
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,640
There's also a sunk cost fallacy

236
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,380
where you spend a lot of time and money on your education

237
00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:13,140
and your residency and your career.

238
00:21:13,420 --> 00:21:16,280
And you don't want to believe that you went through this system

239
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,060
that is not what you believe it is actually at the end of the day.

240
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:22,800
But with that being said, again, post-COVID,

241
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:28,140
I do think there has been somewhat of an awakening within the medical field.

242
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,300
At least I've had a number of doctors that have come on the show

243
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,300
that have left the sort of centralized medical system,

244
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,460
started their own direct primary care practices and marketing.

245
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Like, hey, I'm not part of this system.

246
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,500
I'm going direct to the patient.

247
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:53,740
Are you optimistic that there are more people within your field beginning to recognize this and sort of branch off and try to do things different way?

248
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,480
Yeah. I mean, every physician knows that something's wrong.

249
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:00,560
You know, they're working hard.

250
00:22:00,660 --> 00:22:03,620
They're trying to get people healthy, but nothing's working.

251
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,020
And people just keep getting sicker.

252
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,500
And the system's overburdened, that everybody's overworked.

253
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,200
Everybody knows that.

254
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:12,080
What is causing it?

255
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,080
Very, very few people are starting to realize this.

256
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,300
But I think more and more people are starting to.

257
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,920
So it is promising.

258
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:28,120
And we are grateful that there's an internet where you can just post random things and you can learn so much by just going online.

259
00:22:28,620 --> 00:22:30,260
And it's really helping a lot of people.

260
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:32,080
Yeah.

261
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,900
And you mentioned there the system is sort of overburdened right now.

262
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:45,380
I think a big driver of that is the insurance industry and this push towards universal free health care.

263
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,860
And I think this ties back to sort of money corrupting it.

264
00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:52,880
You need price signals in a market.

265
00:22:52,880 --> 00:23:04,920
And this idea of universal health care, while it sounds good on paper, if you're a fifth grader or an ignorant adult who doesn't understand economics,

266
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,400
and people really play to the heartstrings

267
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,480
and the empathetic side of individuals

268
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,560
not realizing that, hey, medicine

269
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,400
and the service that doctors offer

270
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,080
is a service that should be priced

271
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,960
and there should be pricing signals in the market

272
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,880
and this push for universal healthcare

273
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,560
is completely corrupting that price signal

274
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,160
and therefore overburning the system

275
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,500
because priorities aren't able to be able,

276
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:37,760
the opportunity cost doesn't exist. And so you don't know what to actually focus on.

277
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:43,120
Yeah, 100%. I mean, an example I like to illustrate so that people understand this is

278
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:50,900
if a random 70-year-old's knees start to hurt him, it's fine. He could run it off. He could

279
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:56,720
take some pain medications and rest for a week, and then it'll be fine. It's quite different than

280
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:03,480
if LeBron James' knee starts to hurt him. So there's no such thing as healthcare for everyone.

281
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,140
It all depends on the context.

282
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,840
It all depends on what do you want out of your knee?

283
00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:11,300
What do you want out of your eyes?

284
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,600
What do you want out of your back?

285
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:19,720
And so who gets to decide whether the 70-year-old whose knee hurt them,

286
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,380
should they get an MRI for their knee?

287
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,920
If you leave it up to the 70-year-old, of course he wants an MRI of his knee

288
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,040
because it's free.

289
00:24:29,220 --> 00:24:32,280
LeBron James, his knee means a lot to him.

290
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,520
he's willing to pay for an e-MRI.

291
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:41,860
Because it's just a wide spectrum of how much you can investigate everything

292
00:24:41,860 --> 00:24:44,720
and how much workup you're going to do for everything and how much treatment.

293
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,020
The only way to give universal health care is to just have a lot of governing bodies

294
00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:54,900
that are deciding, oh, does this patient deserve an MRI or not?

295
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Does the 70-year-old deserve an MRI or should we prioritize it to LeBron James instead?

296
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:07,300
And once you do that, then you have an entire industry that's just there as a third party.

297
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:13,960
They're just trying to decide, allocate resources to allocate healthcare resources.

298
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,180
And this is how you end up with Canada, where you have to work.

299
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,680
We have to wait for nine months in order to get an MRI.

300
00:25:20,980 --> 00:25:24,560
System is just, you know, it has to go to someone who's going to approve it.

301
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:25,940
And then you're going to have to wait in line.

302
00:25:25,940 --> 00:25:33,620
And it's just once you separate the price signals, when you separate it from the free market, there's no way that that's going to work.

303
00:25:33,780 --> 00:25:35,420
Then you're just this is just communism.

304
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:41,400
And so do you think the solution to this is more doctors breaking off to this direct primary care?

305
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:43,420
Because that's what we've been using in my family.

306
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:45,580
We've opted out of health insurance.

307
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:49,760
We use CrowdHealth and then we supplement that with direct primary care doctors.

308
00:25:49,760 --> 00:26:05,020
And I find that the experiences are superior than sort of insurance networks of hospitals and pediatricians and physicians that you're thrown into.

309
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,700
A hundred percent. I mean, we doctors are human beings.

310
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:24,860
If you are interacting with people and offering services that want them that and you want to encourage them to come back so that they bring you more money, then the services we offer are going to be a lot better.

311
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:35,860
Working in a system where everyone is insured and you're going to have to give everything to anyone, there's just no incentive for us to perform better.

312
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:37,280
and

313
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,500
you know that's why doctors are burnt out

314
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:41,300
there's no incentive

315
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,200
they are

316
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,600
they're just working

317
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,860
you know working a 9 to 5

318
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:50,280
they don't really care about their patients

319
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,980
their pay is not

320
00:26:52,980 --> 00:26:54,820
is not affected

321
00:26:54,820 --> 00:26:56,200
by how they treat their patients

322
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,240
but all of the

323
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,880
all doctors that have branched out of this system

324
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,780
are so much happier

325
00:27:01,780 --> 00:27:03,380
and their patients are so much happier

326
00:27:03,380 --> 00:27:05,100
do you

327
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,760
So what are the long term?

328
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:19,860
Do you think the medical system will get fixed internally basically have people recognize like oh we need to decentralize this or do you think it be market forces like do you think a bitcoin standard

329
00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:26,860
is needed to fix the system from scratch yeah i think i think the system the way it is right now

330
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:32,640
is going to collapse uh how bad it's going to get before it collapses like are people going to be

331
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,400
dying outside of hospitals because there are no empty beds?

332
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,640
Or are hospitals going to run out of equipment, basic equipment to treat people?

333
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,100
It's certainly possible.

334
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:48,840
How hospitals are right now, that's kind of the direction we're heading.

335
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:54,340
So there is no hospital in the U.S. right now that's not on overcapacity.

336
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:56,040
There are people in the hallways.

337
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,780
People wait in the emergency room for two days before they get a bed upstairs.

338
00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:02,940
You wait 20 hours before being seen in the emergency room.

339
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:07,240
So these are all just indications of imminent collapse.

340
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:19,220
Whether the system understands that it needs to go back to a free market standard before it collapses, hopefully that happens.

341
00:28:20,620 --> 00:28:27,600
And it also depends on how soon the entire world is just going to shift to a Bitcoin standard and we get rid of all this mess.

342
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,040
a little tangential but i think it's all connected and i've talked to your brother

343
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,200
about this too because it is crazy if you just look at a hospital like the architecture of it

344
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,540
the the physical landscape of it the fluorescent lights the beeping noises they're i mean you spend

345
00:28:44,540 --> 00:28:51,940
a lot of time in these places i imagine they're not really uh they don't really engender a sense

346
00:28:51,940 --> 00:29:00,160
of inspiration or very sterile and uninspiring and not a place that you want to be.

347
00:29:00,460 --> 00:29:05,720
Whereas hospitals used to be these like grand buildings with tall windows, natural lights,

348
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:15,620
and how much of the physical landscape of the modern hospital has been corrupted by

349
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:16,000
this too?

350
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,180
And is the form factor of a hospital this day detrimental to people's health?

351
00:29:21,180 --> 00:29:28,180
Yeah, I mean, hospitals are probably the most toxic place to be in currently in the world.

352
00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:39,020
Like you are better off if you can just heal yourself by staying in your bed, you're probably better off fighting this, whatever you have, than going to the hospital.

353
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,840
If it's not serious enough that you actually need what's in the hospital.

354
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:53,040
I always say like for my older patients, it's one thing for them to get over like whatever infection they're going through or whatever health condition.

355
00:29:53,400 --> 00:30:00,220
It's another thing for them to to survive the hospital stay because you're under fake light.

356
00:30:01,820 --> 00:30:06,680
You're not getting any care or attention because all the nurses are overworked.

357
00:30:06,740 --> 00:30:07,840
All the doctors are overworked.

358
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,240
The food is toxic.

359
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:18,060
it's beeping you can't sleep well it's it's really there's a term called delirium which is

360
00:30:18,060 --> 00:30:23,720
basically confusion that happens with other people and it's because you know they go to this place

361
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:31,040
when they're sick and they can't sleep and the fake lights are on all night so they don't they

362
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:36,620
they lose their circadian rhythm they don't know when it's day or when it's night and they end up

363
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:41,340
just confused and delirious and your risk.

364
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,580
There's a lot of people that die because of this,

365
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:50,080
because the body just has no connection to reality anymore.

366
00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:53,960
And it's, it's really scary. And, uh,

367
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,400
yeah, hospitals are a toxic place.

368
00:30:58,340 --> 00:31:01,120
Do you think we need to rebuild them from scratch? Like what, what,

369
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:15,420
And what would if you were handed a handed a fascist authority over the hospital system, you were able to rebuild the physical buildings where we're sending people when they get sick, what would they look like?

370
00:31:15,420 --> 00:31:31,140
I mean, yeah, again, the entire why hospitals are so toxic is because nobody in the medical field thinks that the food that you eat or the lights that you're under or, you know, the quality of your sleep is going to affect the way you heal.

371
00:31:31,260 --> 00:31:37,860
You know, it's just if we give you these meds, things will magically improve and you'll get out of here and things will be magical.

372
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,080
That's what textbooks teach you.

373
00:31:40,180 --> 00:31:42,440
That's what pharmaceutical industry wants you to believe.

374
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:48,300
once we get to the point where we realize that all of these things are very important then yes

375
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:54,860
you don't want it to be filled with blue fluorescent light all the time have natural

376
00:31:54,860 --> 00:32:01,700
lights in from windows use incandescent bulbs minimize artificial light that's also good that's

377
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:07,280
all good minimize the devices so all these patients they're hooked on to like heart monitors

378
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,000
when they come in.

379
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,180
And this is all just, you know,

380
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:12,220
emitting electromagnetic frequencies

381
00:32:12,220 --> 00:32:13,460
directly into their bodies

382
00:32:13,460 --> 00:32:14,400
the moment they walk in.

383
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,780
That's also not great.

384
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:18,740
And then the food, you know,

385
00:32:19,620 --> 00:32:20,940
they're given like typical

386
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:22,380
American cafeteria food,

387
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
you know, chicken fingers and fries.

388
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880
And the goal is to, you know,

389
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:29,720
minimize the cost of how much

390
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,180
this meal costs the hospital.

391
00:32:31,180 --> 00:32:33,400
But it's toxic to this patient.

392
00:32:33,540 --> 00:32:36,180
And it's all heart healthy.

393
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:42,120
So they use vegetable seed oils and it's all low fat dairy and low fat meat.

394
00:32:42,380 --> 00:32:44,100
And, and it's, it's insane.

395
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:44,980
It's insane.

396
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,300
It's funny.

397
00:32:46,380 --> 00:32:51,120
And it wasn't like that because my mom and my aunts and my mother-in-law, my wife and

398
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,660
I, we were born in the same hospital, um, late eighties, early nineties.

399
00:32:55,660 --> 00:33:00,520
And our moms talk fondly about the, uh, the steak dinners they were given steak and lobster

400
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,200
after, uh, after they gave birth to us.

401
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,700
And it was like, oh, you guys are getting steak and lobster.

402
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:10,920
we got like OJ and like a little plastic cup and some chicken fingers,

403
00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:12,080
like in French fries.

404
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:16,500
I was like for all three of our childbirths,

405
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:19,920
I would just leave the hospital and go find good,

406
00:33:19,980 --> 00:33:21,040
healthy food and bring it back.

407
00:33:21,140 --> 00:33:23,600
It wasn't even worth taking the slop that they were offering.

408
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:23,820
Yeah.

409
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,080
Yeah.

410
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:25,380
It's,

411
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:25,820
uh,

412
00:33:25,820 --> 00:33:28,280
it's bullshit and it's bad for you.

413
00:33:30,380 --> 00:33:30,820
Well,

414
00:33:30,860 --> 00:33:31,800
you mentioned light too.

415
00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:32,580
That's another thing.

416
00:33:32,780 --> 00:33:33,460
So again,

417
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:33,700
again,

418
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,180
post COVID my wife is really,

419
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:37,900
leaned into the natural solution.

420
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,880
So she's changed all the light bulbs in our house to incandescent.

421
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:48,340
And I think it's definitely had an effect on particularly like the boys, our sons.

422
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,000
Like you can notice that they're much calmer because they're not subjected to these LED

423
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,760
flashing lights all the time.

424
00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Like talking about preventative care, obviously diet is heavy, but heavy focus.

425
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:07,620
but how much is like natural light and avoiding LED, fluorescent lighting,

426
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,480
and other things, just getting out, walk, exercise generally.

427
00:34:12,780 --> 00:34:15,440
Yeah, it's 100%.

428
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,480
It's so important.

429
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,700
And some people argue that the light is even more important than the diet.

430
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:26,840
A good way to understand this is in the cell itself,

431
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,880
This is not a very, very known theory.

432
00:34:31,220 --> 00:34:33,160
It's not very well known.

433
00:34:33,380 --> 00:34:40,340
But the reality is in your cells, you don't actually directly use food to make energy.

434
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,380
You actually use light to make energy.

435
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,780
Food you use in order to regenerate the cells.

436
00:34:46,940 --> 00:34:53,220
So make cell membranes, make channels, make proteins and fats in order to regenerate your body.

437
00:34:53,220 --> 00:35:00,180
But how your cell is actually powered is from the light that you're exposed to.

438
00:35:00,740 --> 00:35:03,160
This includes visible and invisible light.

439
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:11,100
So lights work on your cells, work on this molecule called melanin, which is light sensitive.

440
00:35:11,460 --> 00:35:16,840
And melanin splits water, creating an electric current.

441
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:19,920
And this is the electric current that powers your entire body.

442
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:36,980
The problem with blue LED bulbs, which only started in the 21st century, is that they only emit a very narrow spectrum of light that does not allow this process to happen efficiently.

443
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,640
So you're not splitting water efficiently.

444
00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:45,740
You're not powering your cells the way you should.

445
00:35:45,740 --> 00:35:55,080
And this could be the reason why we all, the explosion of disease that we've seen over the last 20 years.

446
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,940
Because we are all living under fake artificial light.

447
00:35:58,220 --> 00:36:00,140
We don't go out as much.

448
00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:03,220
And we're all definitely sun deficient.

449
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,460
It is crazy to think that.

450
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:13,020
It's even crazier to think about the Biden administration trying to ban incandescent lights because it hurts the climate.

451
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,140
Exactly.

452
00:36:14,140 --> 00:36:20,480
the climate we got to worry about the climate so we can't use good lights and how i mean putting the

453
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:26,780
tinfoil hat on like how much of that is pure virtue signaling for the climate versus they know

454
00:36:26,780 --> 00:36:35,640
that they are going to sort of disrupt the sort of natural health of of individuals and by extension

455
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:42,660
their psychology make them more manic and depressed and more impressionable is there

456
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:47,880
nefarious intentions behind it or is it simply just LARPing for the environment?

457
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:58,160
I haven't read the direct data on this, but I follow Dr. Jack Cruz intensely. He is very well

458
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:05,580
versed with this topic. And he says that DARPA basically has data that shows that blue light

459
00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:12,600
is able to control people by destroying their dopamine levels. And that's why blue light is

460
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,800
just become prevalent everywhere.

461
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,100
And I don't know what the intentions are.

462
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:27,280
Dr. Cruz argues that it's definitely preconceived and it's definitely intentional.

463
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,680
I know what the repercussions are and the repercussions are pretty bad.

464
00:37:32,940 --> 00:37:38,780
Speaking of repercussions too, it seems like at least the mainstream medicine and now even

465
00:37:38,780 --> 00:37:46,100
in the tech sector or in the silicon valley the solutions to the systemic health issues that

466
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:52,120
exist in the united states and broadly in other parts of the world is to create these synthetic

467
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:59,300
drugs that um that really help you get back to a better state that glp1s i think being

468
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:06,580
the most popular over the last um the last few years so zembic goby and others like them

469
00:38:06,580 --> 00:38:13,360
uh mangero what what do you what do you think of this this trend this like oh we can just

470
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:20,560
manufacture health these glp ones and peptides again it's just faulty faulty thing thinking of

471
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:27,900
this is like the the complete fiat way of thinking about health which is health comes from something

472
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:38,260
outside of me. Health is just, if I accumulate the correct series of pills, peptides, vitamins,

473
00:38:38,820 --> 00:38:44,280
then that's going to give me health. And it's just a completely fiat idea that's only started

474
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:50,400
in the 20th century. It's the same as people thinking that inflation is necessary. It's that

475
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,080
systemic. It's just completely false. And everything built on top of it is false.

476
00:38:55,080 --> 00:39:03,240
the reality is health starts from your daily choices every every everything you're eating

477
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:08,700
the light you're exposed to every how you move these this is what makes you healthy and this is

478
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:14,440
what people need to be putting all this effort on problem is is that we live in a fiat world where

479
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:22,100
everybody has such a high time preference that nobody is willing to look into the future look

480
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:27,280
into things that take some time to give them some benefit. So nobody's looking into their lifestyle.

481
00:39:27,740 --> 00:39:33,060
Everybody's just looking for the easy fix. And there's a lot of people that are just feeding

482
00:39:33,060 --> 00:39:39,700
into it. You know, Brian Johnson tells you that the key for him to live infinitely is to take 100

483
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:43,920
supplements a day. And there are people that believe that they want to believe that because

484
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:49,000
it's an easier fix than no, it's just look at your fridge, look at your lifestyle, look at how

485
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:55,280
stressed you are, look at how you treat the people around you. It's a lot easier and therefore

486
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,220
sells a lot better than the actual solution, but doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to work.

487
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:05,000
What's up, Freaks? This rep is brought to you by good friends at Silent. Silent creates everyday

488
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,160
Faraday gear that protects your hardware. We're in Bitcoin. We have a lot of hardware that we need

489
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,280
to secure. Your wallet emits signals that can leave you vulnerable. You want to pick up Silent's

490
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,700
gear, put your hardware in that. I have a tap signer right here. I got the Silent card holder

491
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:22,860
replaced my wallet. I was using Ridge Wallet because it's secured against RFID signal jacking.

492
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,400
Silent, the cardholder does the same thing. It's much sleeker, fits in my pocket much easier.

493
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,940
I also have the Faraday phone sleeve, which you can put a hardware wallet in. We're actually using

494
00:40:31,940 --> 00:40:34,800
it for our keys at the house too. There's been a lot of robberies. They have essential Faraday

495
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,460
slings, Faraday backpacks. It's a Bitcoin company. They're running on a Bitcoin standard. They have

496
00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:45,720
a Bitcoin treasury. They accept Bitcoin via strike. So go to slnt.com slash tftc to get 15%

498
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:00,300
They want to surveil more.

499
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,300
They want to take more of your data.

500
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:03,780
They want to follow you around the internet as much as possible

501
00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:05,620
so they can control your speech, control what you do.

502
00:41:05,820 --> 00:41:09,020
It's imperative in times like this to make sure that you're running a VPN

503
00:41:09,020 --> 00:41:12,720
as you're surfing the web, as we used to say back in the 90s.

504
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:15,600
And it's more imperative that you use the right VPN.

505
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:20,660
a VPN that cannot log because of the way that it's designed. And that's why we have partnered

506
00:41:20,660 --> 00:41:26,380
with Obscura. That is our official VPN here at TFTC built by a Bitcoiner, Carl Dung,

507
00:41:26,780 --> 00:41:31,140
for Bitcoiners focused on privacy. You can pay in Bitcoin over the lightning. So not only are

508
00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:36,540
you private while you're perusing the web with Obscura, but when you actually set up an account,

509
00:41:36,540 --> 00:41:40,980
you can acquire that account privately by paying in Bitcoin over the lightning network.

510
00:41:41,260 --> 00:41:45,500
Do not be complacent when it comes to protecting your privacy on the internet. Go to Obscura,

511
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:54,740
dot net set up an obscura account use the code tftc for 25 off when i say account you just get a

514
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,940
for 25 off well not only i mean brian johnson i think it's very funny

515
00:42:11,940 --> 00:42:18,820
that uh he's getting very popular right now and again i don't want to come off like um

516
00:42:20,020 --> 00:42:25,720
pompous or anything it's like hey you were advocating for people to get the vaccine you

517
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:32,220
got it yourself uh the covid vaccine specifically and that was another so the covid vaccine i was

518
00:42:32,220 --> 00:42:36,960
immediately skeptical because of operation warp speeds they're like hey we're going to get this

519
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:42,720
vaccine out in nine months and everything up until that point that I've learned about vaccines and

520
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:46,840
the safety of vaccines was like they need to be tested for more than a decade before you can

521
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:52,560
deploy them to to the masses and when they were like oh we're gonna get this in nine months was

522
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:58,160
immediately like okay based off of everything I've learned about vaccine safety up until this point

523
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:03,500
in my life it just completely flies in the face of what we're supposed to be doing so I'm gonna

524
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:10,420
avoid it um then you have others that didn't and we're not only didn't avoid it but we're

525
00:43:10,420 --> 00:43:16,100
championing it and going further in some cases and saying that you were a monster if you didn't

526
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:22,920
get it yourself uh because you were protecting your fellow citizen uh and we're quickly learning

527
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:29,440
a few years later that there are pretty terrible side effects to this increases in excess deaths

528
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:38,240
turbo cancers uh heart issues um and similarly glp1s and i think early data is showing that

529
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:42,700
there's problems with this too like we don't know how this is gonna to your point about high time

530
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:45,900
preference very high and high preference particularly because we don't have enough

531
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:51,480
data to know what the long-term ramifications of this going back to what you were saying earlier

532
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:57,740
about statins it's pretty clear to me that we can see something very similar play out with glp1s

533
00:43:57,740 --> 00:44:00,180
in terms of the long-term effect on individual health.

534
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,200
Yeah, the pharmaceutical industry is not interested in the long-term consequences.

535
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,700
This is just, it's up to you to deal with them.

536
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:22,740
And it's the biggest scam how these drugs are allowed into the market without intensive testing.

537
00:44:22,740 --> 00:44:37,400
And the people who are approving these drugs, people that work in the FDA, they're known that once they quit their FDA jobs, they get very expensive, very well-paying jobs in these pharmaceutical companies.

538
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,980
And there's a revolving door between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies.

539
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:50,080
So you can't trust the people whose job is to determine the safety of these drugs.

540
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:57,380
the classic leftist argument is that what we need to do is oh we need just stronger government

541
00:44:57,380 --> 00:45:03,180
that's not corrupt and we need people to you know we need to make sure that the centralized

542
00:45:03,180 --> 00:45:09,980
authority is has no relationship with pharma etc that is just you're just adding more power to the

543
00:45:09,980 --> 00:45:17,760
government and therefore you're making them a more lucrative target for corruption what actually

544
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:24,120
needs to happen is we remove all the suppression of alternative medicine so that anyone who has

545
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:30,980
a solution that they think works can put it out there and let the free market come up with ways

546
00:45:30,980 --> 00:45:36,900
to test these medications. So it doesn't have to be the FDA that approves them. What if there are

547
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:43,060
private societies that start to run experiments on these drugs? And if you are interested in taking

548
00:45:43,060 --> 00:45:51,760
at GLP-1, you will probably be willing to pay some money to this private society to test it for

549
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:58,520
you before. And you know that this society is not biased. They are not government employees.

550
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,020
You know that they're not corrupt. And they have to put their financial ties out there.

551
00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:06,180
There are so many ways we can just optimize the system

552
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:10,820
by having government get their hands off it.

553
00:46:11,660 --> 00:46:15,460
And this is what hopefully life on a Bitcoin standard would look like.

554
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:20,280
And the future is exciting once we get to that point.

555
00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:28,300
Yeah. I mean, you think of Scott Gottlieb going from the FDA to the board of Pfizer.

556
00:46:28,460 --> 00:46:33,340
Then he's on CNBC and all the talking head shows really pushing it and advocating.

557
00:46:33,340 --> 00:46:45,840
He literally went from the FDA to he was Pfizer's representative on a bunch of these talking head shows and very few people, obviously yourself, myself and others that are like minded.

558
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,200
We're like, this is an obvious conflict of interest here.

559
00:46:48,380 --> 00:46:50,060
Like, how is this even possible?

560
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:56,280
But it is the status quo of how this revolving door works.

561
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:10,000
The entire Purdue Pharma and OxyContin and what led to the opioid epidemic in the US, which has killed up for 200,000 people at least.

562
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:26,080
All of this, the drug was approved by one person in the FDA who, after he finished his role in the FDA, got a job at Purdue Pharma where he was getting around $350,000 a year.

563
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:33,200
this entire thing was just because this someone made a few million dollars.

564
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:33,740
That's it.

565
00:47:34,740 --> 00:47:38,260
This is how powerful, how easily corruptible the system is.

566
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,660
And when you have an organization that's as big as FDA,

567
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,300
you are at risk of just the system being captured.

568
00:47:46,300 --> 00:47:48,020
And this is the system we live in right now.

569
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:49,180
Yeah.

570
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,980
I mean, speaking of that, obviously, there was this big push for Maha,

571
00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:57,100
uh, RFK getting into health and human services.

572
00:47:57,620 --> 00:48:00,360
And it seems like they're trying to shake things up at FDA,

573
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:01,160
but what's your perspective?

574
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:04,360
Are they, um, making any progress?

575
00:48:04,580 --> 00:48:10,220
Is it, are they just being consumed by the centralized beast?

576
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,560
Are we moving in the right direction?

577
00:48:13,180 --> 00:48:15,560
I mean, it's clear that he's causing some ripples.

578
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:20,560
Uh, it's not, uh, it's not as much change as I would have liked,

579
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:26,120
but it's clear that he's fighting a huge beast that is not easy to shake off.

580
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:33,060
But him, now that the hepatitis B vaccine is off the schedule, that's huge.

581
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,600
And just one thing, one small change can lead people to start questioning.

582
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,580
And this is what we need.

583
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,180
The beast is just so big that it's very difficult for him to change everything.

584
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,360
But I think even though he has had to water down his message a lot,

585
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:56,280
he is causing some changes. So that's promising. But again, I believe that ultimately the solution

586
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:01,520
is not going to come from the government the way we imagine it. The solution is going to come

587
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,900
once we make this government just a lot weaker than it is right now.

588
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:12,960
Yeah. Well, in the interim, I mean, I think we've talked a lot about sort of doctors branching off

589
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,200
going direct primary care, but what advice would you give to someone who's frustrated with their

590
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,940
current doctor, doesn't know how to find a physician, like what would you, how would you

591
00:49:22,940 --> 00:49:29,120
advise the consumer of healthcare to contribute to the fixing of this problem? Yeah. I mean, if,

592
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:33,560
if you don't have any doctors in your community that you trust, direct primary care doctors that

593
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:41,580
are less heavy on pushing pills or, uh, I think online you'll, you'll find a lot of good resources.

594
00:49:41,580 --> 00:50:02,920
So you can research things a lot and don't rely on just Google and chat GPT to tell you what actually works because they base their data on the most popular health websites, which are all pharmaceutical funded or based from a big hospital.

595
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:04,760
So do your own research.

596
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:12,660
The best way I recommend is try and find people who you trust what they say, you trust their opinions on medicine.

597
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:18,980
Follow them, see what accounts they follow, see what sort of things they recommend.

598
00:50:19,820 --> 00:50:29,080
And I think more and more doctors are going to start offering online services that you can get health advice, you can get recommendations online.

599
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,480
And I think people should start actively looking for that.

600
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:49,020
And then beyond that, before they even need to get to a doctor, if they hear what you're saying, they're like, okay, I need to focus more on preventative health care, get my lifestyle in order, improve my lifestyle, improve my health.

601
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:54,260
What are sort of the lowest hanging fruits, first steps that you recommend people take?

602
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:55,080
Yeah.

603
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:59,880
So, I mean, the first thing to know is that diet is the cornerstone of health.

604
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:06,520
And do we have time to go into a bit more details of diet or do you want me just?

605
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:06,940
Yes.

606
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:07,200
Yeah.

607
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,200
We have plenty of time.

608
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:08,640
Great.

609
00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:16,660
So, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of confusing information out there about what the ideal human diet is.

610
00:51:16,780 --> 00:51:21,460
And there's a lot of extreme diets that might not be effective for everyone.

611
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:31,320
What I tell people is that the most helpful resource I found to understand diet is the work of this dentist called Weston Price.

612
00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:35,400
So Weston Price was this dentist in the early 1900s.

613
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,300
That was the time when vegan and vegetarian diets were starting to get popular.

614
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:46,760
And everyone thought that a vegetarian diet is the ultimate human diet.

615
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:55,360
So Weston Price, what he did, he actually traveled the world going to tribes that haven't been touched by industrialization.

616
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:06,760
These tribes, you know, had their local diets that haven't changed in hundreds or thousands of years.

617
00:52:07,220 --> 00:52:09,160
And so he went and saw what these people ate.

618
00:52:09,980 --> 00:52:15,480
And what he found is that these people tended to be very healthy because they haven't been touched by processed food yet.

619
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:23,800
and what all these tribes had in common is that they all had an animal-based diet.

620
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,800
So the cornerstone of their diet was animal meat and fat

621
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,100
and whatever else grows in the environment locally.

622
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,260
So he went there trying to prove that a vegetarian diet is healthy,

623
00:52:36,260 --> 00:52:38,140
but what he actually found is the opposite,

624
00:52:38,460 --> 00:52:44,120
is that animal meat and fat were always appreciated by these older societies.

625
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:51,020
So I think the ideal human diet should be built around animal protein and fat.

626
00:52:52,460 --> 00:52:55,400
And this should be the cornerstone of your diet.

627
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,000
It should be there in every meal that you eat.

628
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,980
If a meal doesn't have animal protein or fat, then it's not a meal.

629
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,640
And whatever you eat on the side, I don't recommend that.

630
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,720
I don't think a carnivore diet is for everyone.

631
00:53:09,980 --> 00:53:11,680
I don't think a keto diet is for everyone.

632
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:17,280
But I think what's really helpful is to eat whatever grows locally in your environment.

633
00:53:18,180 --> 00:53:24,020
So if you live in the East Coast of the United States, you're not going to have pineapples in December.

634
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,720
You're not going to have mangoes in December.

635
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:32,360
And funnily enough is that your metabolism is affected by the light that you're exposed to.

636
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:37,680
so you are less able to handle the sugars from this pineapple

637
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,100
in December versus if you get it in the summer

638
00:53:42,100 --> 00:53:45,340
so eat whatever grows locally in your environment

639
00:53:45,340 --> 00:53:48,260
and of course avoid anything that's processed

640
00:53:48,260 --> 00:53:49,720
anything that comes from a factory

641
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:52,840
this I think is the cornerstone of a healthy diet

642
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,120
and if people do that

643
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:58,880
then you've gotten 80% of the benefit

644
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,260
with only 20% of the work

645
00:54:00,260 --> 00:54:05,260
If you want to complicate things further, you can, but this is just a very good starting point.

646
00:54:05,260 --> 00:54:10,260
No, it is crazy how eating local, how humans are connected to their locality.

647
00:54:10,260 --> 00:54:22,260
And the one example that I always have fun telling people is that when we moved to Texas, cedar fever was a real thing for me, cedar fever for the first few months.

648
00:54:22,260 --> 00:54:28,380
And then I had somebody tell me like, hey, you need to go find some raw local honey and eat that today.

649
00:54:28,416 --> 00:54:35,196
you're really getting exposed to these these pollens um and incorporating them into your body

650
00:54:35,196 --> 00:54:43,136
and that's exactly what i did and i didn't have cedar fever for the rest of my the time i was

651
00:54:43,136 --> 00:54:50,636
living in austin and it's it's crazy how something as simple as that can contribute to to better

652
00:54:50,636 --> 00:54:58,836
health? Yeah, it's quite simple. There's a lot of confusing information about diet, but I think

653
00:54:58,836 --> 00:55:03,396
that's a great way to start. Eat from a local farmer's market. Whatever grows there is whatever

654
00:55:03,396 --> 00:55:11,236
is local and get a good butcher and you are solving 90% of the problems. Another very important

655
00:55:11,236 --> 00:55:18,416
thing about preventive health is the light that you're exposed to. So most of us these days are

656
00:55:18,416 --> 00:55:25,196
not getting enough sunlight. You want to try and be outside every day. Even if it's cloudy,

657
00:55:25,196 --> 00:55:33,576
try and go outside. You're still getting healthy rays of sunlight coming to your body. Even if

658
00:55:33,576 --> 00:55:39,036
your body is entirely covered up, even if just your eyes being exposed to the sun is good.

659
00:55:39,976 --> 00:55:46,116
What I recommend for people is aim for at least 10 minutes of morning sunlight before it's 10 a.m.

660
00:55:46,756 --> 00:55:50,236
Go outside 10 minutes, looking in the general direction of the sun.

661
00:55:51,036 --> 00:55:54,276
That's just going to upgrade your metabolism for the entire day,

662
00:55:54,456 --> 00:55:56,136
start, ramp up your metabolism,

663
00:55:56,136 --> 00:55:58,456
and it's going to make you feel so much better for the rest of the day.

664
00:55:59,476 --> 00:56:05,296
If you are in an environment where you're under artificial light a lot,

665
00:56:05,476 --> 00:56:06,916
whether it's your office, et cetera,

666
00:56:07,556 --> 00:56:10,236
try and go outside and take frequent breaks.

667
00:56:10,236 --> 00:56:14,076
So go outside at noon again and then go again in the afternoon.

668
00:56:14,076 --> 00:56:22,356
this being outside in the sun reconnects uh uh you your circadian rhythm to the sun

669
00:56:22,356 --> 00:56:30,236
recalibrates it and this uh fixes all your hormones and neurotransmitters for for that day

670
00:56:30,236 --> 00:56:36,176
and speaking of circadian rhythm it's funny because that when we're doing a natural

671
00:56:36,176 --> 00:56:44,636
we're going the natural path to get my wife's um body more in sync and preparation for her third

672
00:56:44,636 --> 00:56:51,496
child that was the the first advice she got from her doctor was hey go outside before 10 a.m and

673
00:56:51,496 --> 00:56:56,916
make sure you're getting sunlight particularly before 10 a.m but bring this because it kicks

674
00:56:56,916 --> 00:57:03,936
off your circadian rhythm your metabolism get your neurotransmitters firing and um but on this

675
00:57:03,936 --> 00:57:06,916
point of circadian rhythm, how important is sleep to all this as well?

676
00:57:06,916 --> 00:57:12,156
Sleep is very important. And what people don't realize is that sleep is the most important

677
00:57:12,156 --> 00:57:17,796
regenerative phase in your body to try and get rid of inflammation, to get rid of

678
00:57:17,796 --> 00:57:25,976
toxicity, to get rid of free radicals. And even if people sleep seven hours at night and wake up

679
00:57:25,976 --> 00:57:32,796
refreshed, there are still levels you can improve your sleep better. And I think the major thing

680
00:57:32,796 --> 00:57:37,296
disturbing our sleep these days is artificial light exposure after sunset.

681
00:57:38,136 --> 00:57:56,998
This is a very very important and it a low yield fruit for anyone who trying to improve their health is after sunset you want to limit the amount of artificial light you exposed to So blue LED bulbs are the worst Try and replace them with either candle light

682
00:57:56,998 --> 00:58:02,879
or incandescent bulbs. But even with incandescence, you want to try and minimize the light that you're

683
00:58:02,879 --> 00:58:10,859
supposed to because that fake light that you're exposed to at night disturbs the synthesis of

684
00:58:10,859 --> 00:58:17,459
melatonin in your body. And melatonin is important not only to make you sleep, but it also has a lot

685
00:58:17,459 --> 00:58:23,099
of important regenerative properties in the body, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory

686
00:58:23,099 --> 00:58:30,218
properties. So be very conscious of the light that you're exposed to, and that will help your sleep

687
00:58:30,218 --> 00:58:36,539
significantly. Somebody who values the sleep, I can't operate on less than seven hours, which

688
00:58:36,539 --> 00:58:43,119
um if i don't get at least seven hours i'm pretty thrown off for the for the whole day

689
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:49,579
and that's um the light it's something too it's like i'm looking at a screen here i've got another

690
00:58:49,579 --> 00:58:57,999
uh monitor right to my left here and it's like something that is anomalous maybe not anomalous

691
00:58:57,999 --> 00:59:03,339
but it's just new in the last three decades is like humans particularly the workforce most of it

692
00:59:03,339 --> 00:59:04,439
at least white collar work.

693
00:59:04,898 --> 00:59:06,239
And this is our lives

694
00:59:06,239 --> 00:59:07,678
is standing in front of these

695
00:59:07,678 --> 00:59:09,119
blue light emitting screens

696
00:59:09,119 --> 00:59:11,939
for hours upon hours every day,

697
00:59:12,039 --> 00:59:12,779
day in and day out.

698
00:59:12,819 --> 00:59:14,859
And then you add the phone to it

699
00:59:14,859 --> 00:59:19,039
and it's like most people

700
00:59:19,039 --> 00:59:19,939
never stood a chance.

701
00:59:19,939 --> 00:59:20,239
Yeah.

702
00:59:21,059 --> 00:59:23,419
I don't usually recommend gadgets.

703
00:59:23,619 --> 00:59:26,079
I'm not a Brian Johnson kind of figure,

704
00:59:26,258 --> 00:59:28,339
but if there's one gadget

705
00:59:28,339 --> 00:59:29,639
that people should invest in,

706
00:59:29,739 --> 00:59:30,958
it's blue blocking glasses.

707
00:59:30,958 --> 00:59:33,398
so what these do is

708
00:59:33,398 --> 00:59:35,199
they have red lenses

709
00:59:35,199 --> 00:59:37,018
and what they do is that they allow

710
00:59:37,018 --> 00:59:39,599
they don't allow the blue spectrum

711
00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:41,178
of light to come into your eyes

712
00:59:41,178 --> 00:59:43,218
and it's very important

713
00:59:43,218 --> 00:59:45,279
because your circadian rhythm

714
00:59:45,279 --> 00:59:47,178
is set on

715
00:59:47,178 --> 00:59:48,979
based on

716
00:59:48,979 --> 00:59:51,499
how much blue light you're exposed to

717
00:59:51,499 --> 00:59:53,398
so you can get the other spectrum

718
00:59:53,398 --> 00:59:55,398
of light but as long as you're not getting

719
00:59:55,398 --> 00:59:56,718
that much blue light

720
00:59:56,718 --> 00:59:59,398
it still allows your

721
00:59:59,398 --> 01:00:00,359
melatonin to continue

722
01:00:00,359 --> 01:00:06,699
being synthesized. So what I recommend is after sunset, wear these blue blocking glasses so that

723
01:00:06,699 --> 01:00:10,439
even if you're exposed to blue light in your environment, at least your eyes are not getting

724
01:00:10,439 --> 01:00:16,619
exposed to them. And you're going to notice that the quality of sleep is just so much better once

725
01:00:16,619 --> 01:00:22,779
you start using them. Yeah. I've got to pick up a pair of those. I typically stay up a little later

726
01:00:22,779 --> 01:00:28,319
writing as well. Yeah. I used to think it was just, you know, just a gadget that's not helpful

727
01:00:28,319 --> 01:00:30,499
because I thought my sleep was very good.

728
01:00:31,059 --> 01:00:32,218
But once I tried them,

729
01:00:32,398 --> 01:00:34,639
my quality of sleep just became so much deeper

730
01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:36,279
and so much more refreshing.

731
01:00:37,239 --> 01:00:39,379
And you feel so much better the next day.

732
01:00:40,199 --> 01:00:41,258
All right, I got to pick these up

733
01:00:41,258 --> 01:00:42,659
and throw it on the Christmas list.

734
01:00:43,398 --> 01:00:44,758
To wrap this up though,

735
01:00:45,539 --> 01:00:49,718
really leaning into the Bitcoin standard

736
01:00:49,718 --> 01:00:50,958
and how it can help medicine.

737
01:00:51,339 --> 01:00:54,819
Again, from a doctor's perspective,

738
01:00:54,939 --> 01:00:57,139
so I've talked about this

739
01:00:57,139 --> 01:00:58,279
in many different capacities,

740
01:00:58,319 --> 01:01:12,601
I know there a health services account company getting started up like a health savings account company if you want to basically do a personal sort of health care budget

741
01:01:12,601 --> 01:01:15,201
using Bitcoin over the long term

742
01:01:15,201 --> 01:01:19,841
to basically make sure that you can pay for medical expenses

743
01:01:19,841 --> 01:01:22,461
because you're saving in a money

744
01:01:22,461 --> 01:01:24,401
that is going to increase purchasing power.

745
01:01:24,581 --> 01:01:29,781
I've heard of doctors incorporating it into their practices

746
01:01:29,781 --> 01:01:33,141
to make sure that they're able to have a sustainable business.

747
01:01:33,461 --> 01:01:35,741
Obviously, health insurance seems like a low-hanging fruit

748
01:01:35,741 --> 01:01:40,621
if you have long-duration sort of health cost liabilities

749
01:01:40,621 --> 01:01:42,401
that you need to line up.

750
01:01:42,481 --> 01:01:45,021
Bitcoin is a perfect long-duration asset to pair there.

751
01:01:45,621 --> 01:01:49,521
Where do you see Bitcoin being introduced into the medical system

752
01:01:49,521 --> 01:01:52,041
to help doctors and patients?

753
01:01:52,701 --> 01:01:57,501
Yeah, I think it has very important uses in the health space.

754
01:01:57,501 --> 01:02:05,581
Firstly is, you know, there have been a lot of doctors that speak out against the system.

755
01:02:05,981 --> 01:02:14,081
And, you know, they get repercussions where their funds are canceled, their bank accounts are confiscated, etc.

756
01:02:15,621 --> 01:02:20,961
So there are repercussions on free speech with people using fiat money.

757
01:02:21,741 --> 01:02:25,961
But if doctors that want to speak out start getting paid in Bitcoin,

758
01:02:26,181 --> 01:02:31,561
then if the people who like what you're saying, they can just send you Bitcoin directly.

759
01:02:32,061 --> 01:02:37,541
There doesn't have to be a third party that's meddling in between.

760
01:02:37,541 --> 01:02:41,081
And so that's going to help with doctors speaking out against the system

761
01:02:41,081 --> 01:02:45,721
and hopefully people getting out of this fiat system.

762
01:02:45,721 --> 01:02:53,381
another aspect of this is one of the main problems with modern medicine these days is that

763
01:02:53,381 --> 01:03:00,601
all the small practices are getting taken over by bigger practices bigger hospital groups bigger

764
01:03:00,601 --> 01:03:06,621
clinics etc and the reason is is because you know small fish can't survive these days

765
01:03:06,621 --> 01:03:12,261
because you need to be big in order to get access to easy credit.

766
01:03:13,001 --> 01:03:17,681
So when we live in a debt-based society,

767
01:03:17,681 --> 01:03:23,801
the more debt that you can get, the more you're able to survive inflation.

768
01:03:24,461 --> 01:03:31,881
And so all these groups are getting taken over by bigger groups

769
01:03:31,881 --> 01:03:33,941
because bigger groups have easier access to loans.

770
01:03:34,801 --> 01:03:41,921
Once we get off this inflationary system, once we get on a Bitcoin standard, then still small doctors can still run their own practices.

771
01:03:42,381 --> 01:03:44,421
And I think that's going to be very helpful for their patients.

772
01:03:45,061 --> 01:03:56,741
And then finally, the most important part is, you know, people writing medical guidelines, people deciding what needs to be researched, people pushing pills on us.

773
01:03:56,741 --> 01:04:06,121
They all get their power from this big government that's all powerful.

774
01:04:06,481 --> 01:04:08,161
And how is this government so powerful?

775
01:04:08,161 --> 01:04:12,121
Because it has access to the money printer and unlimited amounts of money.

776
01:04:12,741 --> 01:04:19,321
So once we get rid of this money printer, then there's no big enemy that we're fighting anymore.

777
01:04:19,321 --> 01:04:32,144
And you know smaller doctors smaller clinics more free research more free medical guidelines can prosper And that going to help doctors practicing

778
01:04:33,144 --> 01:04:36,183
Now, that was one thing that Jessica, Kevin, and I covered.

779
01:04:36,563 --> 01:04:39,784
Again, this peer review process and the fact that it's completely centralized.

780
01:04:39,784 --> 01:04:50,803
They're trying to create a separate distributed peer review process and using Bitcoin bounties to get certain papers peer reviewed.

781
01:04:51,204 --> 01:05:00,943
So if you have a priority or if you're just interested in a particular ailment or area of study

782
01:05:00,943 --> 01:05:09,284
and you don't want to wait for the centralized peer review networks and journals and publishers

783
01:05:09,284 --> 01:05:14,104
to look at your work and take it seriously, you're just like, okay, let's use this system

784
01:05:14,104 --> 01:05:19,423
and we'll use a Bitcoin bounty program to incentivize people to do the research,

785
01:05:19,464 --> 01:05:21,584
to review these papers.

786
01:05:22,123 --> 01:05:24,764
And I think that makes a ton of sense to me.

787
01:05:25,464 --> 01:05:26,904
Yeah, that's where the future is heading.

788
01:05:27,464 --> 01:05:30,343
And smart people are already starting to realize this.

789
01:05:30,423 --> 01:05:31,943
They're creating their platforms online.

790
01:05:32,104 --> 01:05:33,904
They're getting funding from Bitcoiners.

791
01:05:34,843 --> 01:05:37,104
And the future is bright.

792
01:05:38,383 --> 01:05:39,204
It is bright.

793
01:05:39,784 --> 01:05:42,284
It's a white pill, the only pill I like to take here.

794
01:05:42,343 --> 01:05:42,664
Yes.

795
01:05:44,104 --> 01:05:51,204
Uh, Ahmad, this has been a pleasure. Where can anybody who's listening, find out more about your

796
01:05:51,204 --> 01:05:59,343
work, get in contact with you? Uh, if, um, if they have questions or, um, suggestions or they were

797
01:05:59,343 --> 01:06:04,704
inspired, where can people find more about you? Yeah. So, uh, on social media, on Instagram and

798
01:06:04,704 --> 01:06:11,623
X, I'm at Amos MD. Uh, I also, uh, have a free newsletter that people can sign to, uh, sign up

799
01:06:11,623 --> 01:06:13,464
for and at moosmd.com.

800
01:06:13,584 --> 01:06:15,524
And I also offer online consultations

801
01:06:15,524 --> 01:06:17,883
for those interested also on my website.

802
01:06:19,484 --> 01:06:20,043
Awesome.

803
01:06:20,484 --> 01:06:21,623
Well, this has been a pleasure.

804
01:06:21,743 --> 01:06:22,443
We'll have to do it again

805
01:06:22,443 --> 01:06:25,704
because I think there's definitely

806
01:06:25,704 --> 01:06:27,423
going to be some change

807
01:06:27,423 --> 01:06:30,404
in the field of medicine

808
01:06:30,404 --> 01:06:32,003
over the next many years,

809
01:06:32,104 --> 01:06:33,604
hopefully positive change.

810
01:06:33,604 --> 01:06:36,683
And we'll love to have you back on

811
01:06:36,683 --> 01:06:39,284
to discuss these things as they evolve.

812
01:06:39,644 --> 01:06:39,883
Great.

813
01:06:40,243 --> 01:06:40,824
Thanks, Marty.

814
01:06:41,623 --> 01:06:43,243
All right. Peace. Love freaks.
