Timestamped Show Notes:

05:00 – When you see commercials for semi glutides or GLP-1’s, they’re compounded, the feds have made those against the law out there and now illegal to compound, beginning next month, so you use a name brand prescription. The reason for that is because, when you’re doing the peptides, they aren’t regulated, so you don’t know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they’re making them, and you’re pumping that into your body hoping it’s going to make a difference.

28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will also start eating healthy. If you’re taking those medications and you’re just eating one piece of pizza instead of three, that’s not help.

31:20 – The metabolic ones, insulin, blood sugars, leptin, ghrelinn, adeno, pectin, etc. So when you start to control those metabolically, you start to burn more unhealthy fat than sugar, which is what people try to control on the Keto Diet, right? The Keto Diet is not bad as long as you can sustain it. But the average person can’t sustain it, unlike you’d mentioned, you’re able to do that. The average person can’t necessarily sustain that. So the way you keep weight off forever is you find a way for that particular patient so they can have the freedom to eat what they want, “within reason”, and still lose weight. So psychologically, if you feel like you’re not dieting and you’re losing inches of fat and weight, we’re on the home stretch.

52:55 – I was looking at again for a panel of like, 20 med spas that are starting this, and they’re getting rid of GLP1’s, they’re going for a program. The average patient loses 32.8 pounds. This is within a 90 day mark, and they lose up to 20.2 inches within 60 days. The average person loses two clothing sizes, or 10% of your body weight in 60 days is a very safe bet, like bet your house with a kid in it and take it to the bank.

58:45 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The impact of children seeing mothers inject weight loss drugs to lose weight versus making healthy choices comes to them. Our own girls have told us over and over and over again, I can’t believe how bad everybody else eats, or I went to my friend’s house and the whole family is literally sitting around consuming bags of chips, and I couldn’t believe it. There wasn’t fruit, there wasn’t anything like natural veggies with the meal. They’re just astonished that not everybody does that, who needs that. So it’s, again, it was kind of an aha moment to me that you’re impacting families, and that how far that goes with kids and everything else as well. For all the women out there that have children or men that have children, that can become more aware, this is what they see and what they learn.

Cancer, Metabolism, and The Gerson Therapy

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 29 May 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Dr. Vickers Joins To Discuss Cancer, Metabolism, Immune System Health, and the Gerson Therapy:

A 1997 graduate of New York Chiropractic College, representing the face of the Gerson Therapy Worldwide, Dr. Patrick Vickers is featured in the epic documentary series, The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest. Dr. Vickers’ patient is also chronicled in the classic documentary, The Beautiful Truth.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, called Dr. Max Gerson, “The most eminent genius in medical history” as The Gerson Therapy has the most storied reputation, to date, for its ability to reverse advanced cancer and degenerative diseases. With seven movies chronicling Dr. Gerson’s work, no other therapy has received such recognition on an international scale. Unfortunately, the Gerson Therapy remains the most censored therapy by governments, medical authorities and media outlets around the world as it poses an imminent threat to the conventional medical system.

Personally trained by Dr. Gerson’s family and one of the few people to have studied Dr. Gerson’s handwritten files, Dr. Patrick Vickers continues to carry on Dr. Gerson’s legacy through his premier, Advanced Gerson Clinic in Rosarito, Mexico as well as lecturing and interviewing on various platforms around the world on the indisputable, cellular science behind health, disease and the Gerson Therapy.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:30 – I can tell you during the last 25 years, we have dug our graves with our forks. We have single handedly destroyed our own bodies through diet, through what we’re putting on our bodies and in our bodies. What we eat, whatever we’re drinking, etc. I’ve been doing this 25 years and the average age coming into our clinic is 50 to 55. That is when disease typically sets in. Because the human body can only handle the onslaught of everything we do to it for decade after decade after decade, or right until we hit the fifth decade.

17:30 – We must begin to restore the human digestive tract. That’s the first aspect of metabolism. So that’s how you do it, you have to start by healing the gut. That’s where the Gerson Therapy has reigned supreme. That’s why eight movies chronicled our work. That picture you showed of Albert Schweitzer Nobel Peace Prize winner called Gerson the greatest genius in medical history, you know, so this is where it starts is by starting to restore metabolism.

23:20 – I’d like to address your question on what do we do about healthy fats. I mentioned how we heal the first aspect of human metabolism, how we restore metabolism, it starts in the gut 70% of your immune system. There’s three aspects of metabolism, we have to restore to be able to cure patients. The next step is restoring the proper fats at the level of a cell membrane. So now you’ve healed the gut, you’re properly able to break down and absorb nutrients into the bloodstream again. Now you have to get those nutrients and sugars into the cell and you need to get oxygen into the cell to be able to convert sugar into energy.

31:15 – We’ve essentially reestablished the charge at the level of the cell membrane with polyunsaturated fat in the form of only flax oil. Once they’re cured, they can go back, Gerson would say follow an 80/20 rule, 80%. You must maintain those principles of his dietary regimen, just the principles, you don’t have to do 80% of the juicing, 80% of the coffee enemas, which we haven’t even talked about yet. But an 80/20 rule, 80% Stick to the principles. 20% Enjoy yourself, right? Have a steak, have some butter, have some coconut oil, you know, that wasn’t a problem.

41:20 – Look at the dumbing down of America, which has taken place over the last several decades. Ralph Nader, the guy who would always run as an independent for the presidency… He was once quoted as saying, living in the United States is like being in a football stadium filled with 330 million screaming obnoxious fans, you’re standing on the 50 yard line, and you manage to shut them up for about 20 seconds, and you scream out, is there anybody in the stadium who can tell me the difference between ignorance and apathy, and 99.999% all yell back, we don’t know an we don’t care! If you can keep people entertained 24/7, with Hollywood, with sports, with music, you can do whatever you want to them. They have dumbed down the American people and world public, they’ve made them apathetic and ignorant. That’s ultimately what it comes down to. People stop questioning, and they’ve trusted what they’ve seen on the boob tube. They just haven’t really questioned the things that have been presented to them over the last 3-4-5-6 decades, people have no clue that the cure for cancer has been around for over 100 years. That’s mind boggling.

53:25 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

The Gerson Therapy historically has been a therapy to treat advanced disease. You’ve heard the adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right? Well, the day and age that we live in today, now, this therapy has to become a means of just prevention. Rather than just treating disease, we are under the greatest onslaught in history of everything from toxicity, to poor food. More importantly, what we really didn’t delve into, and that’s the elephant in the room, the pandemic and the agenda behind all that. The things that they’re doing to us right now, people have got to wake up or they are going to be experiencing disease.

These diseases are arriving so quick, so aggressive now. These cancers are so much more aggressive, and just happening almost overnight. I mean, it truly is just insane to watch what’s going on, because my clinic is a microcosm of what’s going on in the world. Just in the last two to three years since the pandemic, but things are coming in the aggressive nature of the cancer. It is getting crazy and they’re not done. So this therapy becomes more of a means of prevention, let alone trying to heal an advanced disease like a terminal Cancer.

The unfortunate thing is, is that people, most people, they won’t do what they need to do until they’re on their deathbed. That is the unfortunate reality. Foods become so social, so emotional, and people no longer have the discipline to combat that and do what they need to do eat to live, rather than live to eat.

Why Carnivore vs Plant Toxins with Anthony Chaffee Part 2

Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Are Plant Toxins Killing You and Can The Carnivore Life Heal You?

Dr. Chaffee is an American medical doctor and Neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors are caused by the food we eat, or don’t eat, and can be reversed with dietary changes to a species specific diet.

Quote: “It doesn’t matter how brilliant your theory is, and it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.” ~ Physicist Richard Feynman

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:30 – It was the most intense period of my life. Burma, there was some very crazy events, tension, and stress levels were always maxed out. It was in the middle of ISIS territory, I don’t think it was actually carved out as ISIS controls this, but they were very, very active in Bangladesh. Speaking to the locals there, they were telling me that they’re not only active, but they were supportive. They were supported by the local Imams and things like that.

22:00 – All of this data shows that if you’re metabolically healthy, you will do much, much better against things like COVID. I think that’s something that people can do, that they can affect in their own life. That is something that they can change, that they can affect, and they can take control their own health and their own destiny. A lot of diseases, even chronic disease, especially chronic diseases, are being shown to be metabolic issues. Metabolic issues are specifically brought about by not eating the right thing.

32:00 – On the topic of Fasting, from what I can see, all of the same benefits can be achieved just from being in that healthy metabolic state. You get the same Autophagy process where you clear your body of these senescence cells. You clear out those those pre cancer cells and all of those little half dead cells are working too well. So all of those benefits from fasting you get from just eating a proper diet, like the Carnivore Lifestyle because you’ll be in that metabolic state. There are a lot of studies with so called fasting mimicking diet, which is a ketogenic diet, and they find that it was really hard for people to fast. So I really don’t like it, you can do this by just getting in that healthy metabolic state.

40:30 – There are many people who made that same comment back in the early 80’s. They looked at other animals, because the argument was from all the experts at the time, they assumed that you had to eat carbs in order to burn carbs for getting biochemistry. That as soon as you stop eating carbs, you make carbs, so that’s what all of these people who supposedly took biochemistry assumed. Then we get into the topic of Gluconeogenesis.

51:15 – I don’t think we need supplements. I don’t think you need to take any of those things. If you think about what we eat for and what’s the purpose of eating. We’re trying to build and maintain animal structure, animal tissue, meat, right? So what by definition is going to have everything that we need, in the proportion that we need it, to build and maintain… MEAT aka a Carnivore Lifestyle.

01:02:40 – Plants don’t want to be eaten. You know, maybe their fruit, maybe they’d like that to get eaten. But even then, they want specific animals to eat them. They don’t want necessarily us to eat them. There are most fruits and berries that will kill you. If you go out into the wild, people that know about foraging, hunting, and survival out in the wild will tell you NOT to eat random red berries.

01:44:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think the main thing is we were having a lot of things come out, like Dr. Palmer’s book with the brain energy thing you’re looking at metabolic health. The last few years looking at the most people that were most affected were people that were metabolically unhealthy as well, finding out about, you know, cancer being linked to metabolism and the mitochondria. The main thing that you can do for your health and the health of your loved ones, and really just the happiness and sanctity of your life, is to look at your own metabolic health and try to take steps to become metabolically healthy.

I think that it fundamentally comes from what you eat, your metabolism is what you eat. You study biochemistry is really just the science of what we eat. And what happens when we eat certain things. The energy mobilization in your body, your metabolism is what you eat and so when you’re eating things that your body doesn’t really know how to use properly, you will damage your mitochondria. There are a lot of these toxins that we sort of touched on, but didn’t go into too much detail. But a lot of these plant toxins really damage your mitochondria, and just running on carbohydrates, damages and suppresses the function and expression of your mitochondria. So you make less of them. They’re suppressed in number as well as function.

So there are certain things and you can call them hacks, and you can call them whatever you want. But there are certain things that increase the efficacy of your mitochondria, map metabolism and the number. So there are certain things people can look into. This is all available on PubMed, Google Scholar, all these sorts of things. Take a look, see what is actually good for your mitochondria? I’m sure there’ll be other things mixed in there like, oh, this chemical and broccoli seems to help whatever. Okay, but what are the 150,000 other chemicals and what are they doing? Are those healthy as well? Are those contributing? Or are they diminishing from your metabolic and mitochondrial health. So I think that metabolic health is just the most important thing, it is what will keep you healthy, and it keeps you healthy longer. It will help you weather all sorts of different infections and it will prevent you from getting chronic diseases in the first place.

I don’t think that these so called chronic diseases like autoimmune issues like heart disease, even Cancer, and Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and diabetes, I don’t think these are diseases, they’re non-communicable. They didn’t exist 100 years ago, in any real numbers. These are coming from eating the wrong thing. They are damaging our mitochondria, they are damaging our metabolism. They are presenting themselves in these weird and horrible ways and they don’t need to exist if you take care of your metabolic health.
