Okay, welcome everybody to another Wednesday webinar.
Today is Wednesday, October 29th, 2025.
And the first thing that I'm noticing, which you probably notice, is that we have a whole new look and hopefully a much improved sound system, which won't go off.
But I will hear about it if it does.
And that's thanks to a wonderful fellow that we found who could finally fix my arrangement here, something that I was incompetent and unable to do.
So we found somebody who could come and help work on the setup.
And I hope everybody likes it.
And I'd like to hear about whether it seems like an improvement, although it's for sure couldn't have gotten worse.
So it seems like an improvement to me.
And I'm going to have to get used to seeing myself bigger and looking up at the new camera.
So that's the first thing I think you'll notice.
The second thing is I'm going to just do a sort of a brief recap of the Weston Price conference, which many of you, maybe some of you, I actually saw.
That was last week in Salt Lake City.
And then after that, I'll go over to YouTube and do a sort of live question and answer.
And if you could write question, and so I know that there's a question, maybe if somehow you could highlight it, that will help me find the questions.
I already saw two very interesting questions, both of which I'm going to have to say I don't know much about, but I will offer whatever I do know about it.
So after this brief recap, I'm going to go over to YouTube.
And if you want a question on the conference or pretty much anything else, just put it in there and put questions so I can more easily find it.
The only other maybe news before the recap is I happen to see an article and I don't know if it's a fake or a hoax, but anyways, I checked it out a little bit and it seemed sort of legit.
It was an article about a woman who found a or adopted a black cat from a homeless shelter.
And to her surprise, she apparently was into tarot cards and put some tarot cards out.
And the cat got them in its mouth and brought over two tarot cards to her.
And they were surprisingly prescient about her life situation, like she was going through a divorce and he picked out the relationship and the heartbreak one or something.
And then she started doing this with friends.
And the cat would always go and pick out, you know, a few or one or two of these tarot cards and bring it over to the friend.
And it was apparently remarkable how accurate and, you know, just profound the cat's ability to pick out the right cards were.
So, of course, I asked Pumpkin if he could do this, and he said yes.
He could, but he wanted to have a higher percentage of elk in his diet in order for him to do this.
By the way, I should mention now this original cat's practice of reading tarot cards has grown and there's like 50,000 subscribers and they have a waiting list of approximately a year to get the cat to read your tarot card thing.
Apparently the cat can do it online.
So Pumpkin may become the next new biology clinic practitioner reading people's tarot cards if I can figure out a way to get more elk in his diet.
Okay, so what about the conference?
You know, the first thing is it's really amazing because I've been there for since the beginning.
I remember that the very first conference was due to be in some basement of some church or something.
And I think it was the day before the conference.
Sally and I were the only two speakers.
I was one of the founding board members.
And I think I called her the day before and said, you know, I don't think I'm going to go.
There's only 12 people.
So she basically did the conference by herself.
And she wasn't very happy about that.
But ever since then, besides the one conference, I think in 2021, may have been 2020, I think I've been to every one.
So we've gone from 12 people to maybe 13, 1,400 people at this conference.
And just the amount of exhibitors and presenters and practitioners and the logistics of the food and getting all the best food from local farms and getting everybody to have all the butter they could eat that I think was some sort of raw butter made by a local farm and unpasteurized raw sauerkraut at every meal and bone broth with breakfast.
I mean, A, that doesn't happen at any other conference, at least that I know of.
And B, it's really an amazing effort by all the people who are involved in this, which, by the way, does not include me because I really have nothing to do with the planning or operations of the conference.
But there are many people who did have a lot to do with that.
And it's just an incredible feat to take this organization and this conference from basically nothing to, I think, one of the most important natural health events, conferences, at least in the United States and maybe in the world.
And so that really needs to be acknowledged.
And again, even though I've been on the board and have heard about the conversations and a little bit of the details and planning, I really have had very little, if anything, to do with it, which is what I said in the beginning.
So it's really Sally and all the rest of the people who are on the sort of board committee who put this together and really make an amazing event.
And I don't know if this was the most amazing of the amazing events or the best of the conferences, but it was certainly up there.
And you can certainly just feel the positive vibes atmosphere.
The people are happy.
They're meeting old friends.
They're making new friends.
They feel well nourished.
They feel taken care of.
Everything goes smoothly.
The events happen on time.
And the banquet happens on time.
People get to go to bed at the right time.
And there's events all throughout the day.
If you want, you can go for walks or whatever if you choose to do that.
So it really is an inspiring and amazing event.
There's no doubt about that.
For me, I tend to not go to many talks anymore.
It's just not something that I do very much of.
But the highlight, as far as personally, for me, were two things.
One, of course, was meeting Sam and Mark Bailey for the first time in person.
I've had a number of conversations with them and interactions and emails throughout these last four to five years, all of which have been extremely positive and friendly.
And, you know, feeling like they're really very good friends and colleagues from across the world.
And to have the opportunity to meet them and to hear about their story of how difficult it was for particularly Sam to navigate all the nonsense that the New Zealand government is throwing at her and all the uncertainty around them coming and to have the sort of courage and the fortitude to still make that long,
arduous trip and come and to meet people, meet people in person and give some amazing talks and share their experience and their wisdom over these last few years.
It was truly inspirational.
And of course, another friend, Andy Kaufman, who everybody knows, he was there too.
And so we got a chance to hang out.
And in fact, the four of us went out to dinner by ourselves.
And then we went with this other small group another time.
So we really had a chance to just feel each other's presence and to be in each other's presence.
We did a panel discussion called something like the No Virus Committee or Virus Deniers or something like that.
And so all that was extremely positive.
And just to be in the presence of people who are just really doing good works in the world and just that was very inspirational and meaningful for me personally.
So I just want to acknowledge that first of all.
The second thing, and there's probably actually three things I want to mention, is I can't say enough about literally over a hundred people, and I don't know how many, who came up to me and offered me thanks and good wishes and gratitude and what has happened for them in the last four to five years and how they've learned and grown and have learned to see the world in a different way and
that I had maybe something to do with it.
And, you know, it just really makes it all feel like it's worthwhile.
You keep doing this and just feel like you're saying the same things over and over again.
And probably I am in the same stories and people say, man, these guys tell the same stories over and over again.
But to hear how much it has impact people's lives and people come up and give me drawings and presents and stickers and doilies and all kinds of amazing stuff.
And it's not so much the stuff.
It's not like I really need another picture or another doily, but the fact that somebody put the time and the effort to just come up to me and acknowledge and express their gratitude and give me something that they personally drew or made or took a picture of or some information is just really gratifying and inspiring.
And I just want to say thank you to all those who did and even those who didn't.
Just everybody who took the time and the effort to show up.
It's just really gratifying.
And the final thing, which I want to say, was really a strong impression that I had from the conference because I want to contrast this with over the last four to five years,
so many of my interactions with so-called like normal people that people you meet around wherever any we live or where I live, people particularly in the medical profession, doctors, so-called scientists, other people that I meet and talk to, particularly around the no virus issue.
And then also in reading the literally thousands and thousands of comments that I get from all the different podcasts that I do, I usually will leaf through the podcast.
You know, with this one I did with Jesse Chappas, there was, I don't know how many, 5,000 different comments.
And the comments that you hear are so different from all those different sources, doctors, scientists, comments on the podcasts, just casual people and people you meet around in your neighborhoods, etc.
are so different than the kind of questions that I heard from the people at this Weston Price conference.
So what do I mean by that?
So almost 100%, literally, of the comments that I get from doctors, scientists, podcast interviews, thousands of comments are all the same.
Oh, so this guy says there's no virus.
What about my aunt Bessie got chickenpox and then so did her daughter?
And what about that my you know, somebody got the flu and then their whole family got sick?
What how can you say there's no virus when that's true?
I hear this from medical doctors.
So there's no, you say there's no virus.
I saw a picture of a virus.
Or what about the sequence that they find these unique sequences of the virus?
And how can you possibly say there's no virus?
And so tell me, smartass, what do you think chicken, how can you explain that chickenpox goes through families?
And I would say none of the people at the Weston Price conference who either asked questions during the presentations or who came up to me individually, you know, in just the various times I was walking around, asked me questions like that.
So that is specifically the reason why the way that I frame this question about the existence of viruses is I ask people, explain to me how a virologist proves the existence of a virus and shows that it caused disease.
And so then I can name prominent doctors in the health freedom community who say things like, well, are you saying that chickenpox, my two children got chickenpox at the same time?
That proves it's a virus.
So the response to that should only be, so you mean that the virologist, they come to work, they put on their hazmat suit, they sit around a table, and they say, does anybody know if anybody's children got chickenpox this week?
And somebody raised their hand and said, yeah, my two children, they both got this thing called chickenpox at the same time.
Guy says, well, there you go.
We got a paper that proves there's a virus.
So obviously that's ridiculous.
So then when I bring this up, so you mean because somebody got the flu, these symptoms which we call the flu, that is the proof that virologists use to say it's a virus, to prove that it's a virus?
Well, no, they do tests.
All right.
What tests?
What experiment do they do?
And then they don't know.
And when you think about that, it's literally mind-boggling four years into this, and these professional scientists and people who just heard me speak or heard the Baileys speak or heard Andy speak for an hour can't figure out that there is a very specific technique for finding and proving there's a virus.
And that technique, called the cell culture, has shown that there is no evidence that the thing they call a virus exists.
And so what was so gratifying is the people at this conference get it.
I didn't get one question about anybody's children getting the flu or chickenpox or, yeah, but they see a picture of it.
Because when you say, well, how did they get that photograph?
These doctors and scientists typically don't know.
And nor do they know that they've gotten the exact same photograph by doing a cell culture and photographing with electron microscope the contents, even if they didn't put anything that could possibly contain a virus anywhere near this mixture.
And that this is in the medical literature for, say, decades, many, many times very reproducible, even though I just said that.
And so the difference is with the people at the Weston Price conference, you can actually go on to the next level of conversation, which is to ask really good questions like, so what does make people get sick?
We know it's not a virus.
So what is it about what we call sickness, which we know aren't specific diseases?
What is it that seems to be shareable?
And how does this whole thing work about why people have discharges or eliminations of mucus and coughs and rashes?
What is actually happening in their body?
And that's the tragedy of this, is as long as you're stuck in this, you know, ridiculous, basically what I'm calling scientifically illiterate questions of thinking that Because two people have a similar symptom in the same place, that somehow is a proof of the virus.
You end up actually not being able to investigate why it is that people get sick or what they can do about it, which, in some ways, I think is the whole point of why they're doing this, because they're afraid or trying not to get to that next level where we can actually figure out what's going on.
Why do people get sick?
How do they get sick?
What is a human being?
What is a living being?
What are we made of?
And what happens to us to make us have to go through these processes that we call sickness?
Is that a positive thing?
Is it a negative thing?
Is it a healing response?
Is it a degeneration?
And these are the type of questions that the people at the Weston Price Convention meeting actually start asking.
And those are the questions that can get us somewhere because nobody really knows for sure the answers of these.
But that's where the future of medicine and the future of understanding what life is and what we're made of is going to be found.
As long as we're stuck in these ridiculous, repetitive questions about, well, I see a picture of it, so it must be true.
And the people don't even know where the picture came from.
They say they don't even know that virologists prove the existence of a virus through a cell culture, which has nothing to do with the virus.
They don't know that.
And so you can't get anywhere in discussing what's really happening.
And so that is really the beauty of what has happened these four to five years.
And I think that was furthered by Andy giving his talk and the Baileys giving their talks and maybe even my talks.
That we're now getting to the point where we can start to have conversations about actually trying to figure out and wonder actually what we're made of, how this life comes about, how this all works, and what we can do about it.
And you know, it's very similar.
There's maybe a little bit of this happening, and maybe there's some also resistance to it at the Weston Price conference.
The same thing, I think, is happening with the question about school, mandatory school, and the question about what is a government and should there be a government.
And to me, there's no question that the whole idea of mandatory schooling is a non-starter.
So I'm not really interested in it anymore in discussing whether government-sponsored mandatory schooling is a good or a bad thing.
That question is done.
The question for me and the group of people that I want to interact with, they already know that.
And so now they start to ask the question: so, how do we raise children?
How do we help educate children to be the kind of people we want?
And maybe even what kind of people do we want?
What is it?
What is what do we do as the guardians and the parents and the watchers and the guides for these children?
How do we do this?
Do we get them with other children?
Do we keep them only on the farm or in our family?
You know, what are the details?
As long as we're still arguing with each other about or questioning whether mandatory schooling is a positive thing, which it isn't, and that should be easy to see, just like the question of the existence of viruses.
It's easy to see.
It should take you a half an hour to figure it out.
There's never been an experiment with the virus.
The viral culture, the thing they use, doesn't even test for viruses.
There's no virus part of that experiment at all.
So then you can move on to the more interesting questions.
And the question of how do we raise children?
How do we interact with them?
In what way do we need to teach them?
In what way will they learn on their own?
Which way is better?
Those are the questions that I'm interested in asking or addressing.
And the same goes with the government.
I'm actually past the point of thinking that or interested in debating the question of what kind of government we should have, because governments are criminal organizations, all of them, even the so-called good ones.
And so what we really need to get on with is understanding that's easy to see.
They're all based on violence.
So the question is, what kind of society do we want to build?
What kind of rules, if any, do we want to have?
How do we implement things like justice and security and safety?
How are we going to have people interact with each other to make this all work?
And you can't even begin to answer those questions unless you get through the first thing, which is the government, the state is not the answer to any of those because they always do it in a violent, aggressive, non-productive way, always.
And by the way, I think democratic governments are actually the worst for this, because at least with like monarchies and communism, at least the people know that the government is not on their side and they don't really want to do anything the government says.
They may do it because they're forced or under the threat of violence.
Whereas with a democracy, the powers that be have learned that the most efficient and effective way of getting people to do their bidding is to get them to do it voluntarily and to get the other people to police themselves,
to get the people to police themselves, so they are much more efficient at keeping this all going, rather than having a top-down authoritarian system, which eventually will piss the people off and they'll say, we don't want to have any part of this.
We're not fighting this war for a monarch to get more land.
And so that would keep them in check.
In a democracy, which is what probably the most violent system there is, it's actually the people that keep themselves in check.
And that's way more efficient, which is why that's the way the world is going now.
So again, the reason I'm bringing this up is because once you get through these sort of questions of is there a virus?
Is mandatory schooling good?
What sort of government should we have?
Once you figure out that those are the wrong questions, those are easy questions to answer, then you can start to do the real interesting and exciting and maybe hard work of why do we get sick and what should we do about it?
How do we raise children?
How do we organize a society large and small so that everybody gets their needs met as best as possible?
What are the details?
How is this all going to work?
And I started to see that in the Weston Price community, especially around sickness and virus.
There seems to be a common understanding now, which wasn't there four to five years ago.
Yeah, this whole germ theory is wrong.
We don't need to talk about this.
We don't need to bring up the chickenpox experiment because it's obvious that that doesn't prove anything.
That's not how they do it.
We understand how they do it.
Now we can talk about the interesting things.
And that is going to be the time that we get somewhere in the world.
Okay, that was my feedback on the West and Price community.
And I hope that these other conversations start to happen.
And they are starting to happen, not just in the Weston Price community, but in all the other communities.
And it's something that we're certainly talking about here.
And we need to have these conversations because it's all interrelated.
How we raise children, how we organize ourselves, what about our health, how do we see the world, etc., etc.
Okay, so I think I'm going to head over to YouTube.
That shouldn't take me long.
I think it's one click here, and I'm going to go up.
So I found two questions so far.
They weren't listed as questions, but I think I can start with them as questions.
And I get to say, answer questions that I know very little about.
But somebody said, let me see.
I'm hoping you can share your thoughts on what I think light is.
Also, what is salt?
And what happens after you put salt in water?
So I'm not sure I know what light is, but here's what I do know.
They say that light is our waves, wave that are certain frequencies.
So there's lots of different frequencies that are possible in the world.
And there's some, I guess you would say, source.
And it emits a certain frequency, which is emitted as a kind of a wave.
And the wave doesn't travel, but it's perceived at some other location.
So the first thing I would say about that is that the only thing that I think I know for sure about that is in order for there to be a wave and for the wave to be perceived as having moved, it needs to be moving through a medium.
Or let's put it another way.
There's nothing about light that's moving from one place to another.
And so light isn't traveling.
It's not, there is no, therefore, speed of light as if it was a little ball, like a little atom or a photon that shoots out from a gun and goes 600,000 miles per hour and then arrives in 0.01 second at the next place.
This is just another example of what I guess Ken Wheeler, which I thought was a great way to describe it, is called the cult of the bouncing billiard balls, or what I described in my talk as atomism, A-T-O-M-I-S-M, which is different than atomism, A-D-A-M, which is the atom of the Bible.
By the way, I should mention this.
A lot of people or some people have asked if I would repeat the talks that I gave at the Weston Price conference.
They are available through the Weston Price Foundation.
All the talks at the conference, I believe all of them, are available to purchase.
But I will give the talks that I gave over the next two Wednesdays.
So I will do the farewell to the old biology and the welcome to the new biology talks that I gave at the Weston Price Foundation next Wednesday and the following Wednesday.
At least that's the plan.
And so I talked about that this, the old biology is the biology of atoms, A-T-O-M, that were made of particles.
And this is the cult of the bouncing billiard balls.
And that is one conception of light, that it's these little billiard balls that shoot out and go from one place to another.
And the other conception of them is their waves that, and all waves, just like if you drop a pebble in water, the waves that form are perturbations of the water.
They're not actually traveling anywhere.
And so the point I want to make is light is a frequency that is a perturbation, or a better word for it might be a disturbance in a medium.
And this is a hugely important point because this distinguishes this way of looking at the world from essentially all of 20th century physics, which has said, because they had to, there is no medium.
There is no ether.
Even though I would say the ether has been proven to exist, and there cannot possibly be a movement of frequencies in the form of waves unless there's something for it, the waves to move through.
And so that has to be a medium.
And the medium is called the ether.
And the movement of the medium in the ether is instantaneously fast, like faster than anything we can imagine, which is why you can imagine, which is why we see what we see basically immediately and hear what we hear basically immediately, because these are different wavelengths and they're all traveling in this ether.
And that knits together all the living beings, which are basically based on different frequencies traveling in the medium, which is our life body, which is based on the water, which is similar.
The ether is essentially just a sort of rarefied form of water.
And so what I would say about what is light is light is a disturbance in the ether.
And that distinguishes it from the conception in modern physics, which was forced to get rid of the ether as they developed this conception of the universe, which is basically based on particles, which they can't even prove exists.
So it's similar to the virus question.
And so that's the cult of the bouncing billiard balls or the cult of the particles.
Nothing is moving like they say.
Nothing is traveling like they say.
It's just disturbances in the ether, which we interpret the different frequencies, the different types of wavelengths as light.
And that allows there to be a seamless transition between light from the outside and the acceptance of light in the water in the inside of us and the molding together of a living being as a what I call an instantaneous being.
It doesn't take you two seconds to think, move my finger and then move your finger.
Everything that happens in us is basically instantaneous.
And that can only happen with frequencies moving in a medium like the ether or like the living water, structured water in our tissues.
So the next question somebody asked about was: Is radon safe in your basement?
And I know a little bit about that.
I was in a place in, lived in New York years ago where people had supposedly a lot of radon in the basement.
And I looked into it a little bit and I couldn't decide whether it was real or not.
And I don't think I've really looked into it since.
So on the one hand, I think to have a gas collected and sort of captured in your basement doesn't necessarily sound like a good idea.
In fact, interestingly, we know that bad air, otherwise known as malaria, mal meaning bad, and air meaning air, is one of the sources of illness.
In fact, if you're exposed to a place with lots of sulfurous air and fumes, that can be the toxin that actually does make you sick.
Radon, as far as I know, you don't notice anything, you don't smell anything, you don't feel anything.
And so I don't know that I know that it's making people sick.
I don't remember reading any studies where they isolated the radon gas as the independent variable and showed that it was making people sick.
So my guess is it's sort of in the ballpark like the radioactive waste scare, which they say is hugely toxic.
And turns out, for those of you who've watched, I can't remember the guy's name now, the guy who talks about the original nuclear scientist who said that radioactive decay is a natural and mostly harmless process.
And that's basically what radon is.
And so it's the risk and the danger is way overblown.
And that would be my guess as to what's happening.
But I would look into this yourself and try to make sure whether I'm correct or not.
Okay, let me just See what I have any tips for utilizing magnets to heal from injuries?
So I know people who do magnet therapy.
And again, the new biology conception, which is what I will talk about this in a few weeks, is basically we're made of the four elements, you know, the earth, water, air, and fire, or warmth.
And these are organized by the ether, which is basically an electromagnetic field, which in which all the information for the world and for life is found.
The information for the blueprint for making life forms is not found in the life form itself.
Certainly not found in the DNA.
It's found in the field surrounding us.
And I use the analogy, this is like looking for the source of the sound by dissecting the radio down to its smallest pieces.
Interestingly, because modern science is essentially the cult of the bouncing billiard balls, and they have an assumption that starts their whole investigation, which is everything has to be physical and everything has to be in these atoms.
So because of that, they're forced to, when they don't find the source of the radio in the speakers or in the dials, and they don't find the source of the blueprint in your foot or in your liver.
So they have to go smaller.
And so then it's in the tissue.
And then they have to go smaller.
And then it's in the cells.
And then they have to go smaller.
And then it's got to be in the DNA.
And they find out the DNA is different throughout your life.
And it's different in every tissue.
So it can't be the blueprint for the whole thing.
And there's not enough proteins.
There's too many proteins for the amount of genes to code.
So the whole thing starts to fall apart.
And anyways, nobody has ever isolated a nucleotide and shown that the whole thing is true in the first place.
And so they're going to have to go smaller and say it's the sub-segment or the sense strand or the nonsense strand or the whole thing is nonsense.
And they have to get smaller and smaller and smaller because that buys them time as they keep looking for it.
Can't be in the dial.
It gets got to be in the wire.
It's not in the wire.
So you got to look a little deeper and deeper and deeper until you get just to the one atom, but then you can't find the atom.
And then the whole thing evaporates.
And then you find out the origin of the signal for the sound was in the radio emitter 100 miles away.
And the origin for the blueprint of life is from information in the medium that we're swimming in called the ether.
So of course, you can use magnets and you can use electricity and you can use electromagnetic fields and you can use all the things that come from that like thoughts and emotions and sound and organs and tuning forks and Plant extracts, which you can extract the electromagnetic field in a process called potentization.
And you can all do use all these things to influence the living forms and to create illness or create weather problems, which they do, or you can create healing.
And again, once you get away from this cult of the bouncing billiard balls and this nonsense about viruses and DNA, we can then start to investigate how all this thing works and how these medium and these electromagnetic fields, which type, etc., actually do have which effect on the living beings.
Now, I can't tell you which magnet you should use, you know, use a three-pound magnet or whatever.
But there are people who've studied this, and so they're using magnet therapy and there's magnet beds.
And I'm not saying that one or the other works.
I think we're still new into looking at investigating how these electromagnetic fields really interact with living systems, but it's certainly worth looking into.
Remedies for short-term mold exposure.
This is actually something that the Baileys talked about.
I think it was Sam and the Bigglesons also.
That was another presenter who was at the conference, who I had never met before, but I'm certainly aware of their work.
And it was a talk that I think it would be well worth taking a look at because it's fascinating stuff.
Looking at these different forms, which are essentially like frozen energy patterns in the blood, to understand what's happening on the more macro scale in our body based on the principle of, you know, the holographic principle that each little part has a reflection of the whole.
So, what was the question?
So, the mold.
The first thing to understand is that it's not actually the mold that's causing the problem.
The mold that's growing on your walls is because the structures that we all live in, unless you happen to live in a moonwood house or a house that was made from a proper timber frame, which is basically nobody, but basically, all the houses that we all live in, all the structures are basically chemicals-soaked stuff.
And so, when they get wet, and the mold then gets in and essentially volatilizes these chemicals, and it's not the mold that's actually making you sick, it's the volatilized chemicals.
And again, for those of you, and this is why the whole virus question is so important, you will understand that this is a simple, as are many things, question to answer.
Is it the mold or is it the volatilized chemicals?
It's very simple.
All you have to do is take healthy mold and same mold and expose it to people and see if they get sick, and they don't.
And that proves it's not the mold that's making you sick.
But if you put mold in toxic walls, etc., then you do get sick.
It's not the mold, it's the toxic chemicals.
So, because many of these are fat-soluble, this would be a good time for using things like turpentine and for doing other cleanses that work through the liver, like coffee enemers and fasting.
Fasting just allows your body to focus more on what's the chemical detoxification instead of breaking down food.
And so, those kind of simple things, stimulating the liver with bitters, and doing turpentine cleanses and fasting, coffee enemas, all those will help your liver get rid of these fat-soluble poisons, And that should take care of the problem.
Okay, here's a question about treating a synovial cyst on an index finger.
So, basically, that means, and there's synovial cysts.
So, what does that mean?
So, that means we have a tendon, which is the attachment of the muscle to the bone, and it runs in a casing, which is called the synovium.
And so, it's similar to an electric wire.
The copper part would be the tendon, and the rubber surrounding part would be the synovium.
And sometimes that gets disturbed or even cut, or it starts leaking or inflamed and forms a little ball, otherwise known as a cyst.
And that is basically an outpouching of the synovial covering of the tendon.
It's interesting that whenever you hear this, I always think that what I was the first thing I was told, and there's particularly you get these synovial cysts on your wrist.
That's a common place, and it happens to people who type a lot and they have inflammation in their wrist.
And I had a number of people who came to me about that.
Sometimes they hurt, or they just bother you because they interfere with how you can put your hands, and that's sort of annoying.
And I remember hearing the first thing to do about that is to whack it with the Bible.
I don't know if you can whack it with some other book, but I was always told to tell people to whack it with the Bible.
And I'm not sure I ever remember anybody doing that.
So, the next thing I did was basically paint it with iodine and immobilize it for maybe a week or so, or just to give it some rest, or not to stress it anymore.
And so, you basically painted it with Lugol solution.
And I would say about half of the time that seemed to work, and the cyst went down.
And I don't really know why painting it with iodine or Lugol solution worked, but I think that was the only thing that I actually saw that worked some of the time.
Okay, next question: Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy produce structured water in your body?
So, hyperbaric oxygen means basically you compress processed air under high pressure while you're sitting in a device that's increasing the pressure of this processed air.
I think that saying, and the reason I say processed air instead of oxygen is I think what they're doing is processing the air to extract the volatile component out of it.
In other words, the sort of flammable component, which is maybe erroneously called oxygen.
So it's basically just processed air.
But insofar as it is oxygen, as I've said, oxygen is a charge carrier.
So basically, you're essentially squeezing the increased charge that is associated with this gaseous substance we call oxygen, but it's really just a sort of component of the ether or component of the air.
And you're essentially pressurizing that into your body to increase the charge of your tissues.
And that seems to have a beneficial effect on just about everything because basically we're charged organisms.
And so if you're sick, that means your battery is running low and you're losing your charge.
So if you press a little bit more charge in to your body, that sounds like it would be a good thing.
I do have some reservations about hyperbaric oxygen, even though I've seen people use it to good effect.
I'm not sure that pressurizing and squeezing charge into your body under a high pressure situation is either a natural or a good thing to do and that it doesn't have any negative repercussions.
So while I think it's something that may be something we can consider, it's not something that I routinely did, even though in San Francisco I had a friend who basically did that.
It was a medical doctor.
And so it was pretty easy for me to refer people to him and get that done.
And I did with some severe neurological problems and some cancer patients.
And it did seem to help them.
And maybe they were in a situation where their batteries were so low and their charge was so depleted that no other way would get in.
And so the hyperbaric squeezing of the charge into their body seemed to bring them out of it.
But I couldn't get myself to think it was a good idea for me or for normal people.
I could be wrong about that, but that's what I thought.
Okay, I bought the Analemma Wand.
Do you think it's a good alternative if I can't afford reverse osmosis other water filtration systems?
So the Analemma wand is not for purifying water or filtration of water.
I've talked about this.
The person who runs the MEAWater.com website, who I think is worth listening to, which is not the same as saying he's all correct, says if you structure water, which is what the analemma wand is doing, and I would say structuring water is essentially the same as changing the configuration of water to make it more charged, which is how we can actually measure it.
So the analemma wand does that.
Now he would say that if you charge the water and make it more structured, that creates what's called easy water.
And the easy water is otherwise known as exclusion zone water, which means that water will exclude whatever is toxic that would otherwise have been dissolved in the water.
And I can see that if there's a possibility for these toxins to volatilize and essentially escape in the air, but I have trouble understanding how that would work in, say, a glass of water.
So let's say you structure the water and make the change the bond angles or change the configuration of the water and make it more charged.
And then you push out the toxins.
But where is it going to go?
I mean, it can't escape from the water.
So it seems to me you would still be exposed to similar, if not the same level of toxins.
So at this point, I'm still thinking that you need to get whatever particularly bad stuff, you know, birth control pills and pharmaceuticals and fluoride and chloramines and all the rest of the stuff they put in the water, that you still need to get that out.
And then you essentially have dead water.
And then you need to, that's the time that you structure it with an analemma wand.
Now, I certainly think if the filtration possibilities are not an option, I mean, there's some fairly cheap ones like Brita and stuff.
And I don't know if they do any good.
And I think you certainly have to change the filters a lot and a lot more than you people generally do.
But if there's no possibility of doing that, I would just go ahead and do the wand.
And I think that will help some and maybe a lot and maybe enough.
And so that's what I would do.
Okay, why do elderly people get urinary tract infections?
All so-called infections, urinary tract infections are supposedly bacteria that live in your urine.
It's basically a result of the kidneys not filtering out stuff as well as they should.
So there's a lot of toxic debris and waste products that their metabolism hasn't been able to process.
And so the body gets rid of them in the urine.
And so you have this urine that then is full of things that shouldn't be there.
And they're probably irritating to the tissues.
And the tissues break down.
And then the bacteria come and live on the tissues.
And they blame the whole problem on the bacteria.
And it's not the bacteria.
It's the fact that they're not detoxifying well enough.
And this should be able to be fixable by simple things like cleaning up the diet and cleaning up many other, as many other areas of their life as they can.
And we've also found that chlorine dioxide solution, which is easy to make and cheap, is a pretty reliable treatment for what are called urinary tract infections.
And this seems to be a water-soluble way of charging the tissues, which would help with the kidneys.
And maybe the final questions, do I drink coffee?
The answer is no.
And I've often said I may be the only person who went through medical school and probably drank less than three cups of coffee my whole medical training.
And in a way, I did it because I wasn't convinced that coffee was good for you.
But I mostly did it because I didn't like the taste and I didn't want to drink coffee and I didn't see the point in it and it just didn't make me feel good.
And so I just don't do things that I don't like the taste and that don't make me feel good.
Is it bad for you?
I'm not sure.
And I think, you know, this sort of bulletproof coffee where they put the best quality coffee and put some ghee or butter or cream in it, that's probably all right.
And I don't really know that I have a considered opinion on whether drinking coffee is good.
I know that people who drink coffee regularly definitely go through a kind of withdrawal phase.
And to me, anything that makes you go through a withdrawal phase is something I want to be careful about.
And I've seen that with a lot of my patients who gut off coffee for one reason or another.
And they go through pretty intense withdrawal.
And this has actually even been written up in the medical literature.
And I used to work in a detox facility for drugs and alcohol.
And they would say that coffee was even as bad.
And they suggested giving people the detox drugs like Librium and Valium, etc., which is kind of crazy.
But so I would be careful with coffee.
I probably wouldn't do it every day.
And I would certainly assess how it makes you feel.
And it's not something that I've ever wanted to include in my life.
Okay, I think we've got it.
And I thank everybody for joining me.
And so next Wednesday, I'm going to do the first talk that I did at the Weston Price Conference.
And then hopefully we'll move on from there.
So anybody who wants to check that out, please join me.
