Blood Money Episode 39 with Dr. Michael B.
Michael Carter and Dr.
Thomas Lewis. The medical industrial complex is beyond repairable.
Here is Medical 2.0.
Today we have two very special guests, Dr.
Michael Carter and Dr. Thomas Lewis from Health Revival Partners.
How are you guys doing?
Hey, excellent. How are you doing?
Great, great. Thank you very much.
So let's just dive right into this.
Obviously we've had a lot of medical tyranny in the last couple of years.
There's been, you know, a lot of silence from the medical community, but also heroic doctors such as yourself that have stood on the front lines and that have come up with alternative methods to better our medical system.
Could you kind of take us through the baby steps on what inspired you to do this and how you approach medicine differently than the traditional methods?
You want to go first or you want me to go?
Sure. I can start.
So first of all, my dad died of Alzheimer's disease 20 years ago.
And 19 years ago, I met this clinician at Harvard who was a renegade outlier who was reversing people just like my father.
And when I saw that, I said, the world's my oyster because I sat down with him for a long time and, you know, basically downloaded everything he was doing.
And I said, this is this is fantastic.
And then reality struck a couple of years later when I realized the world's not interested.
They're not interested. The medical industrial complex is not interested in cures.
You know, if you lived 80 years old, you have 19 years of declining health.
And that's exactly what the medical industry wants.
Because the profit they can make on those 19 years is outrageous, never mind backing it up and threatening you with preventative things that don't work.
So then comes COVID, and we're seeing people, long haulers, that are basically told that there's nothing wrong with them, it's all in their head, and then the vaccine injured.
But the real epidemic has been chronic disease.
In the 1900s, early 1900s, only about 15% of our population had a chronic condition.
Now 60% does.
So if we have a modern industrial medical system, why are so many people sick?
It's obviously we're not fixing anything.
We're managing things.
And so we need to get to root causes and root cause solutions.
Otherwise, we're going to continue to live in this perpetual state of poor health.
Yeah, I mean, we've talked extensively on our show about how the medical industry, in fact, every industrial complex in our current state of where the country is right now seems to have been corrupted.
Every industrial complex seems to be really geared towards making money, profit over health, profit over humans.
How did we get to this point for the viewer that doesn't understand where our medical industry was corrupted by certain powers that be?
Well, let me kind of interject how I got to where I am as well, which as I'm an MD, allopathically trained, trained in anesthesia, did that for about 16 years.
I have a family history of glaucoma.
So that's the high pressures in the eye which can lead to blindness.
So kind of went through the standard therapy with surgery and eye drops and so forth.
Unfortunately lost probably 90% of the vision in my left eye after an initial surgery.
Had to migrate out of anesthesia And went into other fields and basically wound up into the functional medicine universe because I've had glaucoma for 30 plus years now.
So my goal was to really find out what was missing in traditional medicine because all they could offer was that there's nothing that's going to bring your vision back.
There's nothing that is really ultimately going to stop this and that the only solutions are these eye drops and surgeries.
So then that's what probably 17, 18 years ago started me down the pathway of functional medicine, integrative medicine.
So I've been a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, the Institute for Functional Medicine, and really started diving deeply into things that I never learned in medical school.
And it was, needless to say, quite eye-opening.
And these are things that really were promulgated by the naturopaths, the chiropractors, the holistic doctors, what have you, that were previously deemed to be quacks and so forth.
But, you know, obviously over the years, that has really come to fruition for all of those disciplines.
And then there are a very large number of allopathic MDs and DOs that have really embraced what this has to offer.
And it took me down that pathway of really finding out the root cause.
And that's really the main difference or one of the main differences between traditional medicine and functional medicine is why do you have black coma?
Not just, okay, you have it.
So now we're just going to put you on, you know, do the surgery or put you on a medication.
The goal is why do you have this?
So what are the underlying driving forces?
So looking at adrenal dysfunction, food sensitivities, subacute infections, things like Lyme disease, which a lot of people are familiar with, Epstein-Barr virus, things that cause mono, and a whole host of other infections that we all harbor one or more of these things that cause this smoldering infection.
And there are a whole host of other things, heavy metals, mold toxins, and the list goes on.
So that's what took me down the rabbit hole of finding out all of the hurdles that I had to overcome, which has really taken me to the level of not only helping my own situation, but I'm still on my own journey.
That is what really opened up my desire to help other people and really let people know that traditional medicine, in fact, is not the only way to address what's going on.
And unfortunately, a lot of things have been held back from you.
I was going to give you an example of how the medical industrial complex is actually working not to even manage symptoms but actually make you worse.
If you're ready for that.
The one word answer is cholesterol.
It's a big hoax.
Cholesterol is a fat.
It's a lipid.
Every membrane in your body is a phospholipid bilayer lipid.
You need fats. We need energy.
But the main thing our body's doing every day is repairing and recovering, rebuilding tissue.
So for example, a red blood cell hangs around for only four months.
If we talk in four months again, every red blood cell on your body has been replaced.
Phospholipid bilator. You need fat.
So in my opinion, cholesterol may be certainly in the top five of the most important physiological substances we have in our body.
So here's how the medical industrial complex works.
Statin drugs to lower total cholesterol, actually lowers LDL, a component of the total cholesterol factor, were first introduced in 1987.
And by the way, since then, they're supposed to be for cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease is going back up in our nation in terms of mortality.
So they're introduced, let's say, around 1990.
So around 2010, all these substances are coming off patent.
So Harvard Medical School in their internal publication called Proto wrote a article in 2011 called Questioning Statins where they blatantly say it does not provide the most important benefit extending life.
What they were doing in that article is they were setting up for the decline in the use of statins An increase in the use of these new biological drugs that were designed to replace the statins that lower LDL tremendously.
But what even regular doctors realize when they prescribe that to their patients, the patients get dramatically worse quickly because it lowers LDL so dramatically without any other beneficial effects.
So now, another 10 years later, Harvard kind of has taken down anything that demonizes statin drugs because That's their number one prescription.
It's been a trillion dollar industry since 1987.
But see, even though they're off patent and they're not very profitable unto themselves, they cause diabetes.
So you get insulin, expensive drug.
The big thing is they cause congestive heart failure because that drug down-regulates CoQ10 production, which is an energy, a muscle energy molecule.
And the heart is the muscle that's going all the time.
So congestive heart failure is up.
Cancers are up. Any number of infectious diseases are up.
Any number of these things are up.
It's the gift that keeps on giving for the medical industrial complex.
They're making plenty of money on statins because so many people are on them, an estimated billion people globally, roughly.
Maybe not quite that much, but I've heard that number.
And also Alzheimer's is up, which also is related to that as well.
Because there's no more fatty tissue in your body than your brain and your eyes.
And lowering the fats in your circulation means you can't repair those tissues as much.
And your brain is 10 times more active.
Than regular tissue.
It's not like my biceps not working right now, but my brain presumably is.
Some people might question that, but that's their problem.
You have a lot more repair going on in your brain.
You need a lot more fat. That's just an example of something.
We've created a whole new scale for labs, and our lab normal scale for total cholesterol doesn't even overlap with the standard of care.
We completely disagree.
Wow, wow. So, I mean, we saw when the COVID pandemic, you know, I put that in quotes, happened.
We had, you know, things like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine that were effective in, you know, well, preventing the really bad things from happening due to this virus.
But they didn't want that because it sounds like similar to the drug you're talking about.
It was it came out of, you know, the patent into the generic.
Hence, they can't make a lot of money.
Hence, they want to put these untested, unproven shots into us.
That is correct. Absolutely.
And that's the same thing because, you know, again, we see Big Farmer putting profits before people.
You know, I think Paul Merrick's a classic example of the FLCCC. He loses his license or loses his job and he's literally on the air crying over seeing patients dying in front of him.
I wonder if the people that are there watching the patients die that are not giving the early interventions are crying too.
I mean, so that demonizing a humanitarian like Merrick who's coming out To help people with early treatment.
It's just, it's really a sad situation.
It is. I mean, who are these people that are like, I mean, doctors.
You think doctors, you go to doctors and you know, you want the truth.
You're trusting them with your life.
I mean, who are these quote unquote doctors that are not behaving the way you guys are behaving?
That are not behaving in the better interest of the public, of their clients?
Well, unfortunately, Most of them were threatened with their jobs, just like a lot of people in other industries were threatened with their jobs.
They were scared to not follow the edict that was handed down.
This will morally come back to really bite them, though, because over time I'm sure the vast majority of them at this point should know that there are some major issues with the shot and so forth.
Others were paid.
You know, to follow the mantra.
So just like a lot of stars and football teams and this, that, and the other.
It's really discouraging what has gone on.
I like what you said, Michael.
It's the devil's share, you know?
See, Dr.
Carter convinced me to write a book, and I wrote so much in the last year.
It's two books. It's called Health Freedom Lost.
And I'm in the process of publishing it, but it's complete.
And what I talk about in that book is that we see obvious, overt loss and health freedoms, like being coerced into the jabs.
But really, that's like an acute disease.
You know, it's obvious. But really we've had chronic loss of freedom for at least since the Flexner Report or even before.
So like you talk about doctors and how we could manipulate such a large population.
You couldn't even get some silent minority or even a silent majority or a silent minority speaking out.
See, doctors have been bought up by hospital systems because the system The payer system is such a mess, the reimbursement system, the pharmaceutical influence.
So a lot of these doctors, for liability reasons, for financial security reasons, for patient floor reasons, have been assumed, even though they're not working in the hospital, are affiliated with the hospital and are thus controlled by the hospital.
And the hospitals were going broke.
And they've made so much, they're still losing money.
There's a really good report out there, the Becker Report on hospitals, and I talk about that in our books.
They're making close to a half a million dollars on a dead COVID patient, so why not?
The whole thesis of our book is that even the New York Times Well blog, I'm not promoting the New York Times to be sure, but someone sends me these things, highlighted a lot of things before COVID that were scientifically valid and pointing to a problem in the medical industrial complex and our health complex in general.
The USDA subsidizes junk food.
You know, wheat, corn, soy.
So junk food is cheaper than healthy, organic, natural foods.
And that sets us up. So we were set up for at least 100 years, let's call it since Flexner Report, 110 years, where Rockefeller got rid of all the homeopathic and natural and chiropractic medical schools.
Could I ask you real quick, that report I guess I'm assuming ballpark 1910?
Is that what we're talking about? 1910.
And so since that time all the decisions made were influenced by the pharmaceutical industry to some degree and the insurance company because the insurance company makes an arbitrage of 15 to 20 percent on total.
So what's their incentive to lower health care costs?
So our whole thesis in our book Is that if we focus more on health rather than the pandemic, we'll be in much better stead in the future because our population with 60% having at least one chronic condition, comorbidity,
we're set up to make this relatively minor virus seem much more valiant than it should have been, which then allowed emergency use authorization and all that nonsense that put us in this acute form of health freedom loss.
Wow, wow. Okay, so when we first started speaking prior to the interview, you guys were telling me about Health Revival Partners and how you're approaching medicine in a completely different way by opening up all these different avenues, all these different sectors, not just relying on the traditional.
Could you tell us a little bit about Health Revival Partners and how that groundwork that you've done and the prototype could actually be something for the future system to look at?
Tom, you can start. We're a team of scientists, doctors, and coaches.
We have MDs, MD, PhDs, naturopaths, coaches, and our staff.
My mentors at Harvard, Kilmer McCauley, the pioneer of the homocysteine theory, and then this ophthalmologist at Harvard that was just the most brilliant doctor.
He said to me one day, he said, Tom, the only thing that really matters He's dying young, early mortality.
And everything else falls from that.
You know, more morbidity, more sickness, sickness earlier.
So what we realized, and they would say, you know, the reference ranges for normal are a lot different today than they were 40, 50 years ago.
McCulley is 89 years old.
He was doing medicine in the 1960s.
And so I said, why aren't they standardized?
I mean, shouldn't a normal range be normal for everybody and fixed, not varying over time?
And even from lab to lab?
And that's what the standards say.
A normal lab is not necessarily the same in every lab.
So we developed a system based on where do biomarkers start showing the initial increase in mortality.
And it's shocking when you create a standard and an algorithm based on that.
So for example, white blood cell counts When you're dead in the center of the normal for white blood cell counts, you die at 50% higher rates than someone with a lower count.
There's nothing normal about these ranges.
So what we've really done is we've created detailed analytics, a risk assessment that Dr.
Carter will talk about, and the labs, and we give you Very detailed scoring so you really understand the labs.
We give you an overall score, some sub-scores, and then an explanation of where you are on the continuum for each of the labs.
And then we have protocols and remediation plans tied to various scenarios.
So, for example, white blood cell counts are up, you have inflammation, you have root canals, you have gut dysbiosis, so on and so forth.
If you're not measuring accurately, it's hard to tell if someone's getting better or not, objectively.
We want them, obviously, to feel better, but a lot of people are walking around as apparently well, but they're ticking time bombs.
A case in point is the chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente, Bernard Tyson.
He died over four years ago at 60 of a massive heart attack.
The head of Kaiser Permanente, and you'd think they'd be a good health system because they're both the payer and the deliverer.
That's a smoking gun.
What happens is he was going along and didn't feel bad, but his symptoms are getting worse and worse, and all of a sudden he escalates and boom.
It's gone just like that.
Our specialty is refractory disease, particularly Michael Carter, Dr.
Carter on the far end, but helping people understand that even if they just have the most meager symptoms that Health is not either you are diagnosis free or you have a diagnosis.
There's a continuum along to that point and we help you understand where you are on that continuum very accurately and then have solutions.
The problem is Like we were discussing earlier, you know, people are going to their traditional doctor that's covered by insurance and everyone thinks that, you know, you do your yearly checkup or in fact if you have symptoms or on medications that you're being told everything, right? You're getting thoroughly checked over and this, that and the other.
Well, unfortunately, nothing can be further from the truth.
And that's because there are so many lab values that are not obtained that are the ticking time bombs.
So, for instance, let's go back to the questionnaire.
So, of course, you know, every doctor has a standard intake questionnaire and so forth.
Our questionnaire goes a lot deeper than any traditional questionnaire where we're really diving into, let's say, what's going on in the mouth.
What is your diet like?
Are you eating at McDonald's every day?
I mean, these things make a difference, you know, and a lot of people Intuitively maybe know that, but they're still doing those things.
At the end of the day, most people kind of know what's healthy and what's not healthy.
When we actually ask the question, the vast majority of people are trying, but they really don't truly know what eating healthy truly is.
So with that scoring system on the questionnaire, it's 121 questions, and we give you a grade from A to F. So very tangible to a person, kind of like you're in school.
Everyone strives to get an A or B, right?
But when you get a C, D, or F, That's telling you something's going on.
You're struggling in this classroom of life here, right?
So that kind of opens your eyes.
And then we obviously we do a biomarker.
We do a blood test panel.
It's about 55 different tests where we mostly kind of focus on about 21 Of the inflammatory markers.
I mean, all of the tests are important, but let's say these 21 things or so are things that traditional doctors could order, but they generally don't.
So as an example, things like homocysteine, which is an inflammatory marker that when it's elevated is directly toxic to your arteries.
So it's causing inflammation in your arteries.
Same thing for C-reactive protein, directly toxic to your arteries.
So, you know, we were talking earlier about cholesterol.
Cholesterol is not necessarily the enemy, you know, because cholesterol is the building blocks for all of our cells.
Cholesterol is the building blocks for our hormones.
You know, more than 50% of our brain is made up of fat, which cholesterol is the backbone.
You know, so can cholesterol be a problem?
Of course it can.
But it's not the cause of it.
Why, in fact, does cholesterol wind up in the plaque?
Well, the inflammatory status of the body, if you have high homocysteine, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, ferritin, sedrate, etc., and all of these different things, that means that your body is on fire, right?
Whether you know it or not.
And this is causing damage to your arteries.
So let's say it's not all nice and smooth like it should be.
Now it becomes a little jagged because it's kind of think about an inflammatory process when you get a bite on your arm, a bug bites you, it gets swollen, it gets red, it gets irritated, that's inflammation.
Well, if that's occurring in your arteries, well, that's not such a good thing, right?
So cholesterol actually is one of the things that is collected there to try to heal the damage that the inflammation has caused.
So why not address the inflammation rather than giving a statin drug to lower the cholesterol?
So these are the things that we kind of focus on.
It goes a lot deeper, but from a scoring standpoint, everyone knows that 98.6 is a normal temperature.
So when we make it more visceral and tangible to the patient, And again, we're taking these 20 or so biomarkers and saying, if you're out of the optimal range, and again, there's a huge difference between optimal and normal, our normal ranges from LabCorp and Quest actually get wider and wider as we get sicker and sicker, unfortunately.
So we, you know, the optimal range pretty much has stayed optimal forever.
So we kind of know where this range should be.
So then when we get that lab back and if you're above or below that optimal range, then you get a corresponding increase in your temperature.
So instead of 98.6, which would be optimal for everyone, now you end up with a temperature of 102.
So our patients come back to us and say, wait a second, I was just at my doctor and they said I was healthy as a horse and clean bill of health and everything was perfect.
And now you're telling me I scored a D after answering your questions and my temperature is 102 from labs I've never even seen from my traditional doctor.
What's going on? You know, I wanted to point out something.
So when I go to the doctor, you guys give 121 questions to find out what's really going on, to dive into what's going on.
When I go to my doctor, I get 25 pages of release forms basically saying that, you know, if you die, like, you're bad, not my fault, you know, you have no, like...
Pretty much similar to what they did with COVID, where it's like, you know, there's no liability.
I mean, that alone should be a smoking gun.
I'm going to a doctor, and the guy's like, if you die here, it's not my fault.
I mean, it's just mind-blowing.
It's just showing you that the tail is wagging the dog.
That's all. The doctors have given up control of the practice.
You know, even the It was a passionate article written in the 60s to doctors, do not take Medicare.
Then we have the HMOs come in, and it seems like a great program, but really it's a way to control and regulate the doctors, take the control away from them.
We're seeing a move by the FLCCC and other doctors to try to get autonomy to doctors back.
As long as they're beholden to hospitals and insurance companies that are in cahoots with the pharmaceutical company, they're never going to have autonomy and you're always going to be getting this nonsense, you know?
Yeah, and I heard things were bad before Obamacare, but apparently Obamacare made the insurance companies be a lot more involved than taking away independents.
I think the number was something like 40% of doctors were close to that.
Sorry, it was 60% of doctors were independent.
Now 65% of doctors are beholden to the insurance companies.
Is that correct? I think it's a higher number.
Yeah, I think it's higher than that, but I don't have the statistics offhand.
So many independent doctors have ultimately sold their practices to hospitals or these ultra-large groups.
And they're not, because I'm obviously an independent MD, have my own corporation and all of that stuff, so I don't answer to a hospital or a big group.
But as we go along, yeah, more and more of those practices are just basically being gobbled up by, at the end of the day, it's really led by big pharma.
I mean, they control everything anyway.
The big problem we have is the standard of care is a rigid set of standards that does not evolve.
Every other industry, just think about, you know, your flip phone 10 years ago compared to your iPhone today.
But medicine, if anything, has stagnated and gone backwards.
You know, I'll give you an example.
On our survey, we've done over 10,000 of these digitized surveys.
And the number one complaint from individuals, because we ask just what's troubling you and give them a treasure trove of lists to pick from.
The number one complaint is lack of energy.
Number two is chronic pain.
Number three is sleeplessness.
But the real number one problem underlying it, which is sometimes they're reticent to report because they just don't think of the symptoms as being significant, like lack of energy, is some type of gut dysbiosis.
And I always tell people you are what you absorb, not what you eat.
And there's not a medical doctor out there that has the first clue about what to do with gut.
You said you are what you absorb, which I'm writing down right now, by the way.
Yes, you are what you absorb, not what you eat.
Could you describe that?
Not everything absorbs equally well.
It's what gets through from your intestines and your bloodstream that matters, not what goes down in your mouth.
For example, if you're absorbing poorly and you're eating all organic, Your physiology sees junk food because sugars and simple starches are easy to break down and absorb, whereas complex things, like think about a piece of kale, how hard that is, but it's loaded with minerals and phytonutrients.
Very hard to get those out.
So you are what you absorb, and that's the most important thing.
So we put everybody on a gut rehab program because, you know, even with biome testing, microbiome testing, micronutrient testing that Dr.
Carter does, you can get some sense on it.
But I just assume everybody is a little bit in dysbiosis because somewhere in your life, you've had antibiotics, you've eaten junk food, you've taken antacids.
My brother's a case in point.
I hate to talk about a story where my own family member, but see, he's 10 years older than me.
and he's kind of frozen in time he's been single all his life and he views himself like he's 20 and me like i'm 10.
so he's not taking my advice but i will tell you this i just had to listen to him for the last three months hip surgery knee surgery carpal tunnel surgery pain in his back cpap machine everything and almost everything he has can be titrated to the fact that he's been taking Antacids or proton pump inhibitors for 25 years.
So what that's done is created malabsorption syndrome because he has insufficient acid and insufficient microbiome in his gut.
And then repair is the most important thing going on.
Not your daily energy. It's the repair processes that are going on.
He's been repairing poorly for the last 25 years.
Now at the age of 74, he's completely broken down.
So you're saying that he could eat the healthiest diet on the planet and it's still not going to work for him because those nutrients are not being absorbed due to the abuse and trauma to his body.
It's 100% correct.
Wow, that's super interesting.
A lot of people, you know, believe it or not, you know, when When we do a micronutrient test, they are really quite shocked, you know, as to the level of nutrients that are actually at the red blood cell and white blood cell level.
You can test in the serum, but that's actually not adequate enough.
I mean, you know, when your red blood cells and white blood cells, that's where all the action is, right?
These are the guys that are keeping you healthy, you know, and, you know, shuttling around so you can get oxygenated blood and all this stuff.
So you want those cells to be full of the necessary nutrients.
So if you have leaky gut, which basically Almost everyone on the planet does because of the various toxicities, you know, glyphosate being at the top of the list, you know, which is an active ingredient in Roundup.
And unfortunately, it's everywhere.
Even if you eat all organic, because it's in the rainwater and it's water soluble, you know, I've tested hundreds of people for glyphosate and everybody has it in their body.
So it's not just gluten and dairy.
That is causing leaky gut.
You know, that pesticide.
Also, if you're taking Tylenol and ibuprofen and certain other medications, that contributes to leaky gut.
All of these things still go back to...
Absorption issues and the, you know, causation of autoimmune conditions.
Because once you have leaky gut, again, which the vast majority of people have, and you don't have to have GI symptoms.
That's the other question. It's like, oh, I'm eating bread all the time and I don't have any gut issues.
But then when you dig deeper into their history, but yeah, I have this psoriasis or eczema or I have issues or I have brain fog or memory issues.
That's where the body is actually mistakenly attacking itself.
Because let's say you're eating that gluten or dairy, which are the main offenders, but there are other foods that come into play there too.
But because of what they've done to the wheat plants, the hybridization, now the gluten content is 50 times higher than it used to be.
The milk and cheese products, they've hybridized the cows and all the hormones and they feed all the cows grains.
So now the body sees these molecules as foreign invaders.
So the body says, wait a second, I can't make bone or muscle or nerves or anything from this food, so I'm going to start attacking it like it's a bacteria, virus or parasite.
The problem is, through a process of what's called molecular mimicry, and that's just how it sounds, that molecule now mimics one of your body organs.
So it can mimic your skin.
So now you eat gluten and now you get eczema or psoriasis.
Or you eat that dairy and now you have a thyroid issue.
You hypothyroid. Or you eat both of those and now you have memory issues, which can actually cause Alzheimer's.
Right? So now your body is actually making antibodies toward your brain.
But it's a mistaken type scenario.
It's not doing it on purpose.
It just so happens that those foods that you are eating look strangely close to your body organs.
Sorry, I just want to quickly make a point.
So you're saying essentially that food becomes the enemy of your body if you're not basically maintaining your health properly.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
I mean, you know, a very good digestion might be able to break some of these proteins down in these so-called frankenfoods and synthesized foods.
But when you think about it, we evolved over...
You know, so many generations, and we don't just change like that.
So like, for example, we have a very small gut, and a cow has a ginormous gut, okay?
And you might just say, oh, the cow's large.
No, it's actually 50 times larger than ours based on a pure mass basis.
They're trying to get nutrients out of blades of grass.
We're not.
We're eating an omnivore Diet.
The point is you really have to get your acid game up, your enzyme game up, and your microbiome game up to be able to absorb some of these nutrients.
There's not a lot of good research on it because we're all so very different.
That's why we cannot just adapt to these frankenfoods in one or two generations.
Just look at us compared to chimpanzees.
We started cooking, according to a Harvard primatologist, 500,000 years ago.
And the chimps are not using fire.
So our brain is much bigger and our gut is smaller.
Why? Because we eat essentially pre-digested foods.
When you're cooking it, it's the first part of digestion.
You're breaking down the structure of that complex food, whether it be a protein from an animal, a plant, or a carbohydrate.
I'm just going to give you some tips on digestion because they will sound unusual to your listeners.
The first thing I say is, if you have any kind of chronic pain problems, it may not be a gut problem, but I think it's related to the gut.
Avoid eating raw food.
And you know, so many women, I'm not trying to be sexist, but women eat more salads than men statistically, say, but I eat a salad every day.
Right. But now I use that analogy about the cow trying to extract with these huge four compartment stomach getting nutrients from blades of grass versus a human that You know, did cooking.
So I say, you know, you don't have to stop eating your vegetables, stir fry it.
Just, you know, think about a piece of kale that's hard and then you saute it a little bit and it's soft.
Guess what? It's now easier to digest.
What about, could I ask you, I do these smoothies all the time.
You're talking about the kale, impossible to eat like normally, but in a smoothie, you let it go in there for like 20 minutes, breaks it down in tiny particles.
Is that a proper way of approaching the absorption?
Yeah, that would be, I mean, cooking is still, Probably better because you actually started breaking down the chemical structure, but when you have small particles, surface area matters.
So for example, if you have corn, it won't ignite, but you can have a grain fire from the dust of the corn, right?
So particle size does make an improvement.
The other one, I'm not going to go through all my little tips, but the other one is, I'm a chemist, scientist, okay?
So, rate matters.
Just think about this, you know, you have a dirty dish and you have cold water running, and it doesn't clean very well, so you put the hot water on and it cleans much faster.
Every restaurant in America, even the good ones, give you ice water before your meal.
What that does, as cool as your gut, slows down how fast you...
You know, your gut is a chemical manufacturing plant, and you cannot change the amount of time.
It's only so much time you have to liquefy anything, but you can increase the rate by pre-digestion and then pre-warming your gut.
The Japanese outlive us by seven years.
They start every meal with some, not every meal, but they Miso soup is a big part of their diet.
Whenever you go to an Asian restaurant, they give you soup.
The Europeans live three years longer than Americans on average.
If you take the aggregate of Finland, Great Britain, Germany, all those countries, Spain.
Hot tea is common.
My daughter was out skiing in Utah and she took me to a fancy restaurant.
It's ice water, and I ordered two cups of tea for 10 bucks, but it was worth it because we were going to get better digestion, you know?
Wow, wow. Sahara Desert, by the way.
My dad, who's been to the Sahara Desert, told me all the Middle Eastern folks in the Sahara Desert, when it's like 130 degrees outside, drink a hot tea before their meal.
Yeah. And you know why they do it?
They don't know the science behind activation barriers and endothermic and exothermic reactions and all that good stuff and enzymes and catalysts.
But what they probably learn from generations is you drink a hot beverage and your digestion's better.
Yeah. Yeah. Your bowel movements are more regular.
Those kinds of things.
And so, ixnay of the ice water A, you know.
Ever. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like, you know, really, well, there's something to be said about history, the longevity of some of those places.
I mean, the United States is barely 300 years old.
You know, there is something to be said about having thousands of years of history and culture.
to base your daily practices upon and it really seems like what I mean you guys seem like you're talking this in advanced fashion yet our current medical industrial complex seems to be stuck in the stone ages from what it sounds like you're telling me well I mean traditional medicine is great when it comes to acute injuries you know and acute scenarios But from a chronic illness perspective, it's failing.
But it's intentionally failing because of the influence of the pharmaceutical companies.
Their goal is to keep you on an array of medications that don't treat anything for the most part.
As long as you're on two, three, four, five or more of the medications for life, Then that feeds the big pharma animal.
Functional medicine, I think it was written up actually in Forbes some years ago that functional medicine was not a sustainable category when it comes to making money.
Because functional medicine, it's goal is to cure people and get them more medication.
Yeah. Wow, wow.
That's really powerful that, you know, again, you were saying earlier that a lot of doctors sold their practices to...
I wrote soul.
I wrote soul. I mean, who are you working for when you're hurting people intentionally?
I mean, hypocritical and all that, you know?
It's insane. When you were saying you are what you absorb, I also started thinking about some of these environmental factors.
And, you know, whether it's conspiracy theory or not, there is a lot of pollution in the environment.
Some people think there's these chemtrails and mercury levels and all that stuff.
We don't have to discuss whether that stuff's real or not, but we know that we are being consistently poisoned by our environment, by pollution.
How much of an effect is that having on our body?
Well, I can speak to that.
So I do, you know, deep dive toxicity testing.
So, you know, it's environmental toxins, mold and mycotoxins, heavy metals.
So there's a company that I use, it's called Vibrant America, and it's kind of a trio of tests That really dive deeply into a variety of these things.
So with the environmental toxins, you know, off the top of my head, I think it tests for at least 30 or more different environmental toxins.
Of course, the most well-known would be the glyphosate, BPA, which is in plastics.
2,4-D, which is another pesticide.
And then there are a whole host of other ones that have really crazy long names.
You know, the organophosphates and all of these different things.
But at the end of the day, they are basically screwing up our chemistry and how we are maintaining health.
Again, that's another thing that's creating inflammation.
And even when you look at the Mold and mycotoxins.
So mycotoxins are the toxins that mold make.
So, of course, mold is everywhere, right?
And it can be enhanced in one's home.
And most people know about the black mold, but there are a whole host of other species and so forth.
But it can also be in places of work and so forth.
And about 25% or more of the population is very, very sensitive to these various species of mold.
And it can cause very debilitating syndromes in that sector of people.
I mean, you can have two people living in the same house, husband and wife, You know, one, I mean, let's say there's mold everywhere, whether they can see it or not, because a lot of times, of course, hidden, you know, behind cabinets or what have you.
And let's say the husband is, you know, totally fine and the wife is Almost bedridden or can be bedridden from this.
And it's like, what is going on?
We live in the same house. Why are you so affected by this?
So we can test for those.
We can look at various blood tests and urine tests and all of this and determine that that person is, in fact, very sensitive.
But yes, there are a whole host of and there are thousands upon thousands of toxins in the environment.
That our body has to work overtime.
That's why that's another regimen that pretty much everyone needs to be on is some type of daily liver detox because of course our liver is our main detoxification organ.
And trust me, it is overtaxed.
It is working very, very hard to kick these toxins out of your body.
And by doing blood tests, we can see just how hard it is working.
Because when those levels are elevated, or in fact, they're too low.
I can give you a case study from this morning.
This lady I've worked with in the past went out on her own through her She's off the charts cadmium, tellurium, which is a rare earth heavy metal that's very rare, even the earth crust.
and uh bisphenol a and and uh so that's the uh bpa and you know about five months ago she just got really ill and she's still on the recovery path so what what these things do to your case in point because her labs are really good so these these heavy metals don't show up in regular blood labs in terms of white blood cells or things like that But it makes you susceptible.
It's like your body is working to detoxify over here and then something else comes in the back door and you're too busy fighting this.
You don't see it. You don't see the sneak attack.
So that's why these kinds of tests are really important.
What are some of the things...
Sorry, go ahead. Oh, well, just real quick.
So with a scenario like that and others, you know, it's not an overnight thing, you know, to number one, you know, really get your liver up to the task, then place the patient on various detox regimens and binders and all of this.
But still, you want to make sure that you get out of that environment or stop consuming the things that continue to toxify you, right?
Because I can put you on all the best...
You know, supplements and medications were deemed necessary in the world to do this detox.
However, if you keep consuming these things or you still stay in this environment that is oozing these toxins, Then you're spinning your wheels.
So that's, you know, from the educational standpoint, that's where we kind of break it down to the patient so that they can understand what needs to be done so that you can feel better.
And it is a process.
It might take six months, nine months, a year or more, depending on what is the toxic entity.
And we have to get rid of the source.
So in the case of this lady with tellurium, as an inorganic chemist, I'm scratching my head.
And so what I'm having her do is do a food log and a supplement log, and I want her to find out where all her supplements are coming from.
Also, is she on well water?
So wait, wait, you're saying, you mentioned the supplements, so you're thinking the supplements might have some kind of contaminants in there or something?
Well, you know, plants...
More so, more so probably from, if she's on well water, there are a lot of, unfortunately, it used to be a time where, you know, well water was pristine and so forth, but unfortunately the underground aquifers are mostly contaminated now.
Intentionally so? Intentionally so?
Or this is... No, no.
Well, I wouldn't necessarily...
I mean, one could say intentionally, but no, just because of all of the industrial stuff that's going on, the oil spills, the fracking, this, that, and the other.
You know, the drilling. I mean, it's seeped into the earth and it ultimately gets there.
So, you know, because I've had numerous patients that, you know, I've tested their or they've had their well water tested and lo and behold, it's full of all of these toxins.
And, you know, it doesn't taste any different.
But they're actually creating their own toxic burden.
I distilled some water, and it was shocking.
It was shocking what was left over.
Literally, it looked like poop.
I'm sorry. It was this much water.
It was distilled, and it's a distiller.
And then what's left under there, like the sludge, it was just absolutely disgusting.
This is all from Lake Mead water, by the way.
You're mentioning detoxifying your liver.
Is things like turmeric, black pepper oil, are these helpful in detoxifying the liver?
Well, no. Things like milk thistle, you know, dandelion root.
Those are some of the standard ones.
There are a whole host of things.
There are specific brands that I really like that do a great job of that.
Of course, again, at the end of the day, all supplements aren't created equal.
We're using...
In general, physician grade or pharmaceutical grade supplements, especially when it comes to really trying to address a certain syndrome and so forth.
But it can be very, very effective to do that.
But those are a couple of the, you know, key ones that can really help.
Things like calcium deglucarate also helps to detoxify the liver as well.
There are a lot. There's a 10, 15...
Dr. Carter, why I brought the supplement thing up is, you know, our cohort coming from Mercola, Lansman, you know, all these folks, you know, are relatively aware of professional supplements.
But what if you're getting like an herb or a multivitamin from Walmart or CVS? Where is that coming from?
Or Amazon. Or Amazon, exactly.
Could I say something here?
Because I was in manufacturing for a short period of time.
I've got to tell the story because you mentioned Walmart, right?
So I've been in film and TV pretty much since I was a teenager.
I get, you know, after 20-something years, I decide, you know, I'm going to try to get into manufacturing, right?
And so I started a little CBD company, and I got to tell you, the fraud that happens with manufacturing is insane.
And I won't name names, but, you know, some of these bigger folks and the smaller folks in terms of retailers, flat out tell you things like, you know, skimp on the product, you know?
It doesn't matter. You're saying 200 milligrams, put 50 milligrams.
We don't care. As long as you meet a price point, you know?
So these things are contaminated and or fraudulent literally from the manufacturing station.
You buy something at Walmart, it tells you it's 500 milligrams of X, Y and Z. I don't know.
I don't know if I trust that, to be honest with you.
I think anybody is pressing the price barrier down as low as possible for mass production.
It's probably not paying attention to the integrity of their ingredients.
Unfortunately, that's what it is.
When was it? You know, I don't know, four or five years ago.
And that was actually, I believe it was written up, you know, it was in, you know, the major news wires where they went in and actually tested various supplements from GNC and Costco and Walmart and found out that 90 plus percent of them didn't have the ingredients that they said that they had in there.
Yeah. Labels, labels, I'm sorry to use the French are complete bullshit.
I'm just out there.
Labels are bullshit.
And the more caught, like the more you cut costs, this is kind of like the China syndrome that we're experiencing.
Yeah, great. I could get my electronic device for, you know, one fourth the price.
Does it really last?
What's the longevity of it?
Most of these things break down in months because they are not built well.
And the same thing is happening by these greedy systems.
I mean, we talk medical industrial complex.
What about the shopping industrial complex?
Everybody's screwing you, I'm sorry.
The farming industrial complex, the fertilization and the chemical...
I always tell people, it's a big thing about greenhouse gases.
The European vehicles get twice the mileage that ours do.
Some of them are smaller, some of them get more than twice.
Why? Well, because EPA is in cahoots with...
The oil companies with all these pollution controls that go beyond necessary.
The Europeans don't have the same pollution control, yet their air is fine.
We get half the mileage.
We're burning twice the gas.
Who has an incentive for that other than the oil industries?
And the FDA really just plays along with all the pharmaceutical.
I mean, it's the exact same thing. Whenever the government takes over these things, corruption is next.
Education. I mean, the judicial industrial complex.
You have these judges that are supposed to be the most courageous individuals.
They have zero courage to literally uphold the Constitution and the law because they're scared of backlash.
Every single industrial complex.
Yeah, we're working on our own.
One thing that we're, you know, Dr.
Carter and I are working on is we enjoy seeing people and working with people, but we want to help more.
So we've been working on automated systems, AI, but the most important initiative we have going on is partnering with an emerging insurance company that gets it.
As a matter of fact, the CEO told me six years ago, my goal is to bring down the Bukas, Blue Cross, Aetna, all that nonsense.
In order for integrative and functional medicine to move forward and have a bigger slice of the pie, it has to be covered by insurance.
I think a proper health insurance company that has health in mind can lower costs and still be very profitable.
Nothing's working right now.
Nothing's working. In England, you know, you got socialized medicine.
We did a piece about a year and a half ago.
Their system is collapsing.
Canada's system is collapsing. They're telling you, you know, we'll kill you.
You know, that's that's the end of socialized medicine.
You know, it's like, hey, you're not feeling well.
What if we what if we, you know, you euthanize you?
Here our system has been completely taken over by the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
They're both broken systems completely.
And I think the lobbies have a lot to do with it because here the lobbies are the issue.
There the issue is greed, lack of finances, certainly socialized medicine doesn't seem to be working.
So what is the solution when all systems are broken?
Well, so what we plan on doing with the health insurance is the health insurance company doesn't own your data, but they don't care to because they just increase the price so they can project their 20% arbitrage.
But what we're going to help this company What we do is screen people, and more robustly than life insurance companies do, to really help characterize and then see people are driven by money, as we well know, right?
So the whole idea is incentivize and improve where they are in our health continuum scale to get a lower premium.
Wow. Wow.
And that creates a healthier citizen and a lower cost from an insurance perspective, long term for sure.
And then, you know, based on the bar being so high for expense for insurance, twelve, thirteen thousand dollars a year per individual.
Imagine if you you charge ten thousand.
That's, you know, a twenty twenty five percent discount.
You get a lot of people running to you.
And they will make, if they have healthy populations, they'll make huge profits.
So you're saying they go through the 121 questions, they go through the blood test, you determine what is their, you know, and aptly named their health revival, and hence it's a better system since you're really figuring out how to target the issues.
Right, and we're trying to get, we're integrating with this emerging, it's left the train station, it's moving slowly, but a new emerging Health insurance company that will pay for these good things.
And, you know, we don't run tests for this cost, but, you know, ten dollars worth of testing from a screening perspective.
Actually can be extremely illuminating.
Wow. Well, this is this is awesome, doctors.
In closing, is there anything you want to let the viewer know?
Is there anything that we didn't touch upon that you'd like to speak about?
Well, you know, because we were introduced to you by Josh Yoder, who is, you know, founder of US Freedom Players, you know, we've been kind of hanging out with him for the past couple of months.
And of course, as you well know, this Emergent situation that's going on with pilots and flight attendants and so forth.
So we've banded together to also offer, you know, doing the D-dimer and troponin levels, because especially for those who've gotten the shot and for those who...
Sorry, could you explain a D-dimer and...
I lost you there.
Oh, troponin. So D-dimer...
All right, so D-dimer is an indicator of blood clots.
And it has been shown, not in everyone, that after the shot that this can be increased.
Now, granted, this number can be increased with the COVID infection itself.
So, but again, at the end of the day, you know, a lot of these individuals who are, you know, dying suddenly without any symptoms whatsoever, they're building up these little tiny clots, blood clots that are, you know, forming bigger and bigger and larger ones that ultimately cut off a major blood vessel.
Troponin is a component of the heart muscle.
So when that is elevated, that is telling us that there is some inflammation going on, like the myocarditis and so forth.
So that obviously was quite concerning to Josh when he noted the sheer number of pilots that We've come together with him.
And of course, we're not the only people that can do that test.
So the goal is, hey, if you have a cardiologist, ask for these tests.
If you have a family practice or internal medicine doctor, ask for these tests.
If you can't get it done there, then you can come to our company.
And get it done. The whole point is, again, find out where you are on the health disease continuum, because people are walking around not really knowing these things.
And unfortunately, with the shot, it is showing a higher degree of those specific markers being elevated in a certain subset of people.
By the way, is there a website I could let people know?
I can actually type it in right here and it will appear on the bottom.
What is it? HealthRevivalPartners.com.
All right, my computer's shaking a little bit because I'm typing this thing.
So HealthRevivalPartners.com.
I'm going to put it down here. You guys will see it in a second.
Oh, sorry.
Wrong one. That was the wrong one.
There you go. HealthRevivalPartners.
Does that look right? That's correct.
And we work with people who want optimal health.
And we work with people with some of the most refractory diseases.
We mentioned psoriasis.
Dr. Carter and I reversed probably the most severe case of psoriasis.
Cleveland Clinic couldn't do it.
Laser couldn't do it.
We treated her internally. We reversed arthritis.
We reversed dementia. But our passion right now is to help these poor people that have been marginalized by the system with vaccine injuries.
And help them understand what's going on, help them with their comorbidities, and help them overcome these ailments.
So, whether you've had the vax, or you've had, you know, COVID long haul, we've been very successful with that, and we employ some of the cutting-edge technologies like Dr.
Tom Levy, cardiologist, is talking about methylene blue.
It's a systems approach.
It's not just we give you one thing.
Dr. Carter, why don't you end, Michael, on the hierarchy of health and the vessel.
The body is a vessel.
That's always a good way to summarize it.
If people, let's say, I'm fatigued and I'm like, I need help.
My doctor's not helping me.
I would just contact you guys through a health revival partner.
Yep.
Absolutely.
And we- And we're- We're- We're- Sorry.
Regardless of where I am in the- Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
No, I was just wondering, regardless of where I am in the country, would you guys be able to place me with a doctor?
Oh, yeah.
And we cover pretty much every disease syndrome.
As a side note, Dr.
Lewis and Dr. Trim wrote the first book, The End of Alzheimer's, back in 2012.
And Dr. Lewis has since written three other books and now the fourth one.
And I'm also trained by Dr.
Dale Bredesen, who wrote the second series of the End of Alzheimer's books.
So, you know, because fortunately, you know, Alzheimer's is the third leading cause of death.
And younger and younger people are getting it.
We have 40-year-olds getting Alzheimer's.
So that's another epidemic.
So the thing is, we are living in some times where chronic disease of every type is just skyrocketing across the board.
So if we don't really, you know, like Dr.
Lewis was saying, I mean, we kind of look at your body as a bucket or a vessel.
And of course, as you stated earlier, we live in a very toxic environment.
So if your budget is only a quarter full or a half full, then you have more resilience, right?
You know, you might have a friend who drinks all the time, smokes, does this, that and the other, stays up all night, sleeps three hours a night, and they live to 90 years old.
And you, wait a second, how did that guy do that?
Well, maybe he has much more aggressive detox pathways, and his budget has always been just a quarter and a half full.
But the vast majority of us, our buckets are half, three quarters are full and overflowing.
So we don't have, you know, we don't have that buffer.
So now our resilience is much lower.
So one or two, like COVID comes along that just pushes us over the edge.
Now that's expressed. As you know, whatever disease syndrome or takes you down a very, very bad pathway.
So our goal is showing you the different things that are filling up your bucket, show you how to dump that bucket out and how to replenish it with the good nutrients and so forth.
Wow, wow. This is incredibly powerful and amazing information.
Thank you so much for the work that you guys are doing.
Dr. Michael Carter, Dr.
Thomas Lewis, you guys are, you know, you guys are American heroes, because I know it's not easy to stand up against these establishments.
And I see, I see people, you know, really suffering, you know, we've interviewed a lot of different doctors that have been pit through hell, frivolous lawsuits, name calling, you know, articles that are defamatory.
And we know how hard this is.
And we thank you. For the incredible work you're doing.
And thank you for your attempt to really take us out of the stone ages of medicine.
It's really sad.
You would think we're so advanced.
No, we're not so advanced.
Frankly, we have a system that profits from our suffering and that needs to change.
Yes, absolutely. Thank you so much.
Thank you for showing up to this Blood Money episode and please check out AmericaHappens.com where every day we're posting new episodes, new content and I will see you on the next episode of Blood Money.
