"One of the really important concepts of having a normal microbiome is: it is not just in your small intestine and your colon. I actually smell different since my microbiome was back. So it comes all parts of your body.
"The literature is really strong to make the argument that we are actually like Pig-Pen. We walk around with this cloud—bacteria, viruses and fungi—that cover us, in our nose, in our mouth, in our skin, in our hair, all over us. Those organisms are the ones that protect us from infections.
"Given a normal immune system (which is much more complicated than what we're talking about), but if you bring back the normal microbiome, our bugs are making antibiotics. They make chemicals that kill other competitors. They keep the Clostridium difficile under control in our body.
"One of the things that I've been able to see happen is, my clients can still take antibiotics, and they actually will reconstitute their microbiome normally, as long as they keep their D over 40, they will grow back.
"I personally believe that the appendix is where it is, and designed the way it is, to be a little tiny library of all the bacteria.
"So it's not that I don't believe that antibiotics change what's going on in there. They do. OK? They absolutely do. However I don't think we have to be as afraid of them." — Dr. Stasha Gominak with Dr. Mercola 53:43 – 55:22 https://youtu.be/MmuCKMRrCe8&t=3223

Eat Like a Rabbit
Dr. Jack Kruse: "When you live inside the tropics, deuterium works with UV light to create frequencies of light that […] make [tryptophan] utilizing deuterium in your body. […]
"What's the difference in latitude mean? It actually is the level of sunlight you get. Nature built the water cycle to be deuterium depleted where sunlight isn't as powerful. And where the sun is powerful, you can have a higher deuterium content. […]
"If you want to be a rabbit and eat like a rabbit, you should live inside the tropics. But if you are like the rest of the population on this planet, just so we're all clear, 99% of the population on planet earth lives outside the tropics. Therefore if you eat like a rabbit you're a freaking idiot. OK?"
Steve Stavs: "That's great. And why is it […] at the tropics, you can have a banana in great UV light, but having a banana [outside of the tropics] in the middle of winter when UV light is low, that's not going to help you, because it's filled with deuterium. Correct?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Correct. […] anytime you eat a fruit that does not grow at your latitude via the photosynthetic mechanism […] you create molecular chaos in you. What is the molecular chaos? You have too much deuterium inside your matrix. That ruins the spin rate of ATPase. That reduces energy production. That harms you. […] if it doesn't grow in that latitude, you shouldn't eat it. And just because it's in the grocery store, doesn't mean it's a good thing."
Steve Stavs: "So you should eat seasonally, locally. That's number one. Secondly, you should eat outside in the light, not under blue light."

"DHA works with something called the RXR and the VDR receptor. Everybody's heard about the VDR receptor; that's the vitamin D receptor. Well the RXR receptor is the vitamin A receptor. […]
"Turns out that all opsins in the body, and melanopsin happens to be a blue light detector, are bound to vitamin A. So this is the control mechanism of how this clock mechanism works everywhere in your body.
"If you break off the vitamin A from melanopsin, it destroys photoreceptors in your body. That's how we destroy melatonin. It's how we destroy DHA. It's how we destroy the [Bazan] short and the long loop.
"This is the basis of how #leptin resistance occurs. When that long loop is broken, that's how you break it in the liver. That's called leptin resistance part 2; I've got a blog about that from over 10 years ago.
"When you start to see all these pieces and parts, you begin to realize, hey man, this clock mechanism in the eye controls all these timing issues everywhere else in the cell. Then you realize that this all goes back to circadian biology.
"Then you realize it's not about food and exercise. It's about light and dark. It's about how well we can tell time. It's about the light we live under. It's about how accurate do we live a species-directed life. And unfortunately most of us don't do a good job of that anymore." — Dr. Jack Kruse with Steve Stavs @ 01:00:05 – 01:01:49 https://youtu.be/lMAkQ4H5x8o&t=3605

"Because you always hear people talk about dopamine, but they really don't break it down for you so you understand it. People who are depressed, who are gonna kill themselves, or who are fat, or do drugs, those are low dopamine people, those are the ones we always talk about.
"But you know who we never talk about? The people at high dopamine, who have the high spikes, who are those people? Those are the people with schizophrenia. Still a mental disease. So the point that I'm trying to make to you: it's not that all mental disease is low dopamine. Most of them are, but some of them are high dopamine.
"Then there's the part in the middle which is the Jackson Pollock guys, who painted in fractals. Why? Because when dopamine is not optimized, you see the world instead of being smooth, like it is right now, you see it in still shots. That's what the fractal nature is. And that's actually tied to the light that we use to do this. It's a dopamine effect tied to UV-A light." — Dr. Jack Kruse on the Align Podcast @ 19:10 – 20:04 https://youtu.be/1UbdNu-CQyU&t=1150

"Water touches every square surface area of every protein in your body. The number one protein your body's collagen. So water does have a memory. The memory is tied to topology. What is topology? It's the study of size and shape changes.
"So it turns out when light hits water it changes the size and shape of the hydrogen bonding networks that surround each protein. That information is transmitted to the protein and back. It's a bi-directional device.
"So memory is coded for in water. Most people think that memory is code for in the central nervous system, like in the brain, or in parts of the brain. But you happen to be talking to neurosurgeon who's taking large parts of people's brains out, and it doesn't affect their memory at all." — Dr. Jack Kruse on the Align Podcast @ 17:57 – 18:48 https://youtu.be/1UbdNu-CQyU&t=1077

"Trees are wonderful. In fact the best place you can sit for #mitochondrial health is under a #tree in the #sunlight, because you're protected from the short wavelengths by the the canopy of the tree, and almost all of the #infrared will be bounced down to you […] Tree leaves are incredibly efficient infrared scatterers, and as you've seen in infrared photographs the tree canopy is brilliantly white in the infrared." — Robert Fosbury, PhD with Max Gulhane MD @ 01:26:56 – 01:27:26 https://youtu.be/ZnkQSjKwH-M&t=5216

"[…] it's in the literature […] that if you change mitochondrial functioning in one part of the body, other mitochondria in different parts of the body respond. […] It's call the abscopal effect. And one of the consequences is if we expose a part of your body to red light, say, your back, 24 hours later we start to get an improvement in vision.
"That abscopal effect has been very well known in limited communities like radiologists. The argument is that mitochondria regulate aging, and you can't have your liver aging a different rate from your left foot. So there has to be a harmonization of mitochondrial function.
"And that's great for us because if we want to improve vision in an ophthalmic clinic, we don't necessarily have to shine something into anybody's eye. That's quite a dramatic finding. […]
"But I'm going to reiterate the point that Scott [Zimmerman] and Bob [Fosbury] have made: you can go and get a red light, and I can tell you what kind of red lights and where you get them. It's actually better just to walk out on a sunny day and spend an hour walking around. That's probably as good as everything else. You're back in your evolutionary niche doing that." — Glen Jeffery, PhD with Roger Seheult, MD; Scott Zimmerman; and Robert Fosbury, PhD @ 40:15 – 42:29 https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/medcram/id/30019658

"There's a point I'd make about the ultraviolet and the vitamin D synthesis. It's always said that when the sun's below whatever the angle is, 45 degrees, you get precious little ultraviolet getting through. But the sunlight that's reaching the atmosphere above the ozone layer can readily scatter down onto you from above through the thinnest, the vertical path through the ozone layer.
"So the Scandinavians out on the sea ice skating for five hours a day, like one of my friends does, they get plenty of ultraviolet radiation, even with the sun on the horizon, because of scattering of sunlight down through the ozone layer.
"So there is a path for vitamin D-generating ultraviolet down through the sky, even in the winter with a low sun, if you're outside and you have at least part of your body uncovered." — Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury, PhD with Max Gulhane MD @ 01:38:38 – 01:39:42 https://youtu.be/ZnkQSjKwH-M&t=5918

Owen Sheasby: "I understand that the little mammals after the KT event were making light inside of them. But how does that negate their need for food?"
Dr. Jack Kruse: "It doesn't negate their need for food. They are actually able to make food from the POMC gene. The POMC gene has another part of it […] called ACTH […] That's the precursor for cortisol. […] when you give somebody cortisol, what does it make in their body?"
Owen Sheasby: "Raise glucose and insulin."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "There you go. So you're able to actually make glucose directly from light. […] The POMC gene is actually tied to animal photosynthesis. […] every mammal has POMC in them. […] humans do. […] And […] putting on #LED light alone […] raises blood #glucose and it raises #insulin. […]
"What do you know about high glucose and high insulin? Shrinks your #brain. What do you know about the mammals that were present at the KT event? Were they were they mammals that had Ferrari engines in their head?"
Owen Sheasby: "No, little things."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Right. See, they were different mammals than we are today. So what does that tell you about mammals today, that are living under light that is like the KT event, blocking the sun?"
Owen Sheasby: "They're shrinking their brain."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "There you go, bro. Now you understand why #Alzheimer's, #Parkinson's, and #neurodegeneration are playing the role that they're playing today. You're beginning to understand the flip side of the story.
"But remember the original story for the mammals was this allowed them to survive a poor light environment while the dinosaurs were dying, because there was no #sunlight there. They could live off a poorly lit environment, because they could make enough glucose to survive until photosynthesis came back."

"But if I was a wrestler, and I'm going to be very honest with you. What I would do:
"I would move to a tropical environment. Train outside. I would never wear shoes. I would probably wear a Kiniki or a Cooltan, you know, bikini shorts. I'd have the best tan that's natural in the world. I wouldn't take any supplements.
"I would completely stay away from conventional thinking. I may talk to those trainers, but I'm going to maximize my training in a totally decentralized way. I'm going to commit to doing that for one year, and then you check your results.
"And I think, I'm at least very confident in telling you this, that you're going to do a lot better. But the single most important thing is what I've already told you on this podcast:
"When the sun rises, you rise. When the sun sets, you set. That is axiomatic. You break that, I don't care what else you do. You got to have proper circadian timing in that clock in your eye. It's called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. That controls every other molecular clock in your body. If you don't have that, you ain't gonna to be optimal, no matter what anybody tells you."
