Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, and as you know, I have been a lifelong advocate of outstanding nutrition and avoiding toxins for the inside of your body.
And today, our special guest, pharmacist Ben Fuchs, who's got some major announcements to offer here.
He's an expert on nutrition for the outside of your body, that is, your skin.
And it turns out it's...
It's really all about the same principles that we've been teaching all these years, but Ben has taken this art and science to a whole new level.
We're going to jump into that.
Welcome to the show today, Ben Fuchs.
It's an honor to have you on.
Thank you so much, Mike.
You get it, bro.
You get it.
It's really all about nutrition.
That's the missing link.
You know, cosmetics have this kind of cachet of being superficial, and the reason they do is because they don't focus on health.
And at the end of the day, it's healthy skin that's beautiful skin.
And I've been studying nutrition for as long as you have.
And, you know, sometimes people ask me, "Hey, you're a pharmacist.
Why are you doing nutrition?
Why are you talking about vitamins and aminos and fatty acids?" And I tell people that nutrition is God's medicine.
It's the medicine that the body evolved with.
It's the perfect medicine for the body internally, obviously.
If you have heart disease or if you have an intestinal problem or COPD or whatever it is, nothing beats nutrition from a therapeutic and healing and non-toxic standpoint.
In terms of creating therapeutic, beneficial therapeutic modifications to the body.
And that's why I practice nutritional pharmacy.
That's why I don't have any drugs in my pharmacy.
I have only nutritional supplements and skin care products.
And what I realized in my pharmacy, my compounding pharmacy from dealing with folks who had severe skin traumas, is that the most powerful skin care medicine is likewise nutritional supplementation.
And that's really, that's the missing link as I see it.
Is nutrition for the skin topically as well as nutrition internally for the skin and for the rest of the body.
Well, you're absolutely correct.
And I want to dive into that a lot more with you.
But I want to back up first and talk about the insane toxicity of what most people go out and buy at retail.
And they put it on their skin.
And it's truly insane.
Now, there's breaking news on something related to this, which is that...
I'm here in Texas, and our Attorney General, Ken Paxton, just announced an investigation into Procter& Gamble for deceptive marketing of Crest toothpaste with fluoride to children and infants.
Fluoride's a whole nother...
Holy cow.
Right, but this company, Procter& Gamble, in my opinion, this is...
I think Procter& Gamble is right there with Monsanto of a mass poisoner of the world.
Their products, in my researched opinion, many of them are incredibly toxic to human health.
But even beyond Procter& Gamble, can you speak about the toxicity in the mainstream products?
Yes.
The real problem is our skincare products today are a vestige.
They're anachronistic.
They're from a time gone by.
The modern skincare product was developed in the late 19th century before we had any idea what the skin was composed of.
In fact, we didn't even know what cells were, or at least we didn't understand the relationship between cells and the biological system until cell theory came about in the late 1800s.
So, skincare predates, modern skincare predates our understandings of how the body is put together.
The modern skincare business is about 150, 160 years old.
Great, great, great grandmother got into a time capsule and transported herself to the year 2025.
She would know exactly how to use her skincare products because the formulations haven't changed.
And the reason why there's so many companies and skincare products out there is because basically they're working off a template.
They're working off a mold or a stencil where you take water and you take wax and you take emulsifiers and fragrances and preservatives and you put it all into a big mess or a big...
A big pile and then you throw in a little active ingredient and you sell your skincare cream or your skincare lotion.
I was working in my pharmacy, and this is where two treatments were first developed, with people who had burns or had severe traumas or who had severe skin diseases or a garage door fell on their head and they had a big gash.
They just came out of surgery and they had a long cut and they didn't want a scar.
And so I had to come up with a real effective strategy for healing.
The tissue.
And what I discovered was, no surprise, Mike, as you know, nutrition is the key.
Not just internally, but you can access cells topically with creative formulations that required reimagining how a skincare product is architected.
And when you do that, you get active cellular responses.
And that's really the key.
We're used to rubbing stuff on the surface of the skin and hoping for the best.
The real key to a skincare product...
It's getting to the cell.
Let me just say this real quick.
The cell has been around for three and a half billion years, and it has a menu from which it likes to eat from.
That menu is vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids.
We call those essential nutrients.
In essence, what I created was topical delivery systems for what I call the Mighty 90 essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, aminos, and fatty acids.
So I love your explanation there.
And myself and our audience were right there with you on this very point.
And this explains why I've been very outspoken for a long time about what people put on their skin.
The typical deodorants, the shampoos loaded with toxic fragrance.
And as you know, the people who routinely use those toxic products, they can never smell them themselves.
And even just the other day, I had a conversation with a woman who...
She reeked of shampoo fragrance, like massive radius, like an eight-foot radius around her.
You're like, oh my God.
And she literally told me that she hates artificial fragrance.
I'm like, how do you have that conversation in a polite way that's not condescending?
What you're talking about is our lack of understanding about how our bodies work.
And I love formulating skincare products.
I love talking about nutrition and helping people with their internal health conditions.
But at the end of the day, I consider myself an educator.
And really, Mike, you're an educator as well.
In fact, I would venture to say you're an educator before you're anything else.
You're a great broadcaster and you're a great journalist, of course.
But really, you're an educator like I am.
And that is really the problem with our culture today.
Not only in terms of...
The way our health is, but just the way our whole world is.
We don't have a way of parsing information.
We don't have a way of critically thinking.
We don't really understand how the body is put together and this really hurts us in terms of our overall health and longevity and that's why you have people taking satin drugs for what at the end of the day is a lifestyle issue.
That's why you have people putting fragrances on their bodies or on their hair when at the end of the day all they want to do is have clean hair and healthy beautiful skin.
And the Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.
And that situation has not changed.
We still are suffering from a lack of information and a lack of knowledge.
And what I want to bring to the table is an understanding of how the body works and how what we put on the body and in the body works and how the two interact so we can maximize our health and longevity as well as our beauty.
Let's talk about that very point.
The porosity of human skin.
Now, I had a conversation with...
A pharmacist, believe it or not, a few years ago, talking about how the skin absorbs so many things.
And this pharmacist, who was a really conventionally trained pro-pharma person, said, well, I don't think the skin absorbs anything, otherwise it wouldn't be a good barrier against the outside world.
And I immediately said, then tell me how nicotine patches work.
And his point is interesting because what he's not accounting for is modern skin care.
There's a she in this case, yeah.
What she's not accounting for is all of the modern high-tech chemicals that we're interacting, that we're forcing our skin to interact with.
Yes, from an evolutionary standpoint on the African savannah, the skin was a barrier to maybe some environmental assaults or cuts and scrapes, etc.
But modern chemistry has figured out a way to bypass all that and that's exactly why you have transdermal patches and transdermal creams and things that are specifically designed to get active ingredients or unfortunately excipients into the lower levels of the skin and even into the bloodstream.
For example, sunscreens.
There are measurable amounts of sunscreen chemicals in people's blood.
I know you know this because you've studied this as much as I have.
There are measurable amounts of parabens and preservatives in tumors.
In breast cancer tumors.
Clearly, things penetrate into the skin through the stratum corneum.
That's why you have to be really, really careful of what you're putting on the skin.
In fact, I take advantage of the skin's ability to absorb nutrients or absorb substances by my transdermal penetration of vitamins and minerals and amino acids and fatty acids.
All of these transdermal effects are leveraged for the benefit of the cell.
In essence, feeding And you know what, Mike?
At the end of the day, I could talk all day.
I love talking about my products, my formulations and chemistry, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
If you take one or two drops of Truth Transdermal C Serum, mix it with some ionic minerals or biomimetic mineral mist, the results you'll get will be visibly different skin within one or two doses, let alone over the course of the days or weeks.
And what I really encourage folks to do is use Truth Treatments on burns.
Or cuts.
Or your baby's diaper rash.
Or sunburn.
Or any kind of broken skin.
And watch what happens.
Because at the end of the day, these are healing products that have been repurposed for beauty.
And to me, that's the assessment, the criteria that we should use to determine the value of a topical product.
Does it heal the skin?
Because beauty is a function of health.
Yeah, you're exactly right.
I have a question for you about coconut oil here in a second, but let me just mention, so because of your formulations and because of your ingredients and because you completely avoid synthetic fragrance chemicals, we are partnering together.
And Ben, I've been approached by numerous companies over the years for cosmetics and so on, and I did not like them.
I don't like...
If I see one bad thing on the label, it's an instant no.
And your company is the first one that just brought together skincare solutions, and your brand is called Truth Treatment Systems, but from the point of view of nutrition.
So we have this at healthrangerstore.com slash skincare.
We'll take you to this page, which has your products.
If people want to check these out, well, this one's already sold out, but we've got numerous You know, packages and different products of yours, and there's more on the way, I understand.
Ben, we're just really thrilled to partner with you on this.
I can't tell you what an honor is for me, too.
I know your standards, and I've known you for 20 years now, or going on 20 years, so I know your standards.
And for you to put your stamp of approval, for you to validate what I'm doing, means more to me than I can ever express in words.
Because, Mike, you're my ideal client.
That's true, yeah.
I always felt like smart people needed a skincare brand for themselves.
Right now, anybody can make skincare products, and skincare products have really been dumbed down to the point where they're just inert.
They're cotton candy.
They're fluff.
More about the smell and the appearance.
The packaging.
The packaging and the marketing.
The presentation.
Skincare is about presentation because people haven't caught on.
Even though they say it all the time, the skin is the body's largest organ, they haven't caught on that you have to treat it like an organ.
If you have a poor heart, you need vitamin C. You need vitamin E. You need coenzyme Q10.
If you have a poor liver, you need the B-complex.
You need essential fatty acids.
You need vitamin A. If you have a leaky gut, you need vitamin A. You need vitamin E. You need zinc.
You need polysaccharides.
Why should the skin be different?
The skin is an organ of the body, and if you want healthy, beautiful skin, you have to feed it from the outside in.
As much as you have to feed it from the inside out.
Yeah, and of course, we advocate both, right?
100%.
Here's my famous avocado smoothie.
100%.
You feed yourself healthy on the inside, that moves out, and then you feed your skin in a healthy way on the outside, and that moves in.
It's like a cake.
If you have a beautiful cake, you can enhance it with icing on the cake.
That enhances it.
But if you have a crappy cake, and you put icing on top of it, it's still a crappy cake.
Nutrition is the cake.
Internal nutrition is the cake.
Topical nutrition enhances what internal nutrition brings to the table.
At the end of the day, it is about internal nutrition, leaky gut, glycation, even something like dry skin, Mike, is at the end result of blood that's stagnating, that's not moving appropriately and releasing its fluids into the capillaries, right?
Everything comes down to internal nutrition.
As I said earlier, this is God's medicine.
This is divine medicine.
This is nature's medicine.
When we're sick, the bottom line is cells are not getting the nutrients they need.
What we're doing with True Skin Health is we're giving the skin an opportunity.
To absorb nutrients from the outside in as much as it should be absorbing nutrients from the inside out.
Topical nutritional supplements.
And let me just mention to our audience, what we add to your products is, of course, we have our own mass spec laboratory.
We do our own analysis.
We test all your products now.
You know, we wouldn't even partner unless they passed the test.
And of course, you know, your products are super, super clean, we found out and confirmed.
I mean, I always knew that, but I want to make sure I can confirm it.
I can show you the report.
Here's the heavy metals test.
Here's the glyphosate test.
Here's the E. coli test.
It's all good.
Like, nobody can come to me and say, well, you didn't test it.
Oh, yes, we did.
Here's all the documents.
Here's the log files.
Here's the instrument logs.
We've got it.
And then on top of that, looking at the ingredients, no synthetic fragrance, no garbage chemicals.
So Ben, kind of what we do is we do a little bit of a value add to add our certification of cleanliness in terms of those possible contaminants.
And we won't sell anything that fails our tests, obviously.
So this just confirms that your formulation is right on and that your sources are clean.
Well, yeah.
And cleanliness is great.
In addition to cleanliness, you're getting healing.
And this kind of healing is something that I sort of had my back against the wall in my compounding pharmacy.
I have a compounding pharmacy where I help people who have severe skin traumas.
And I had to figure out a way to take the cosmetic vehicle, the cream, the lotion, the serum, whatever it is, and turn it into a medicament, into something that had therapeutic properties.
And your audience knows this, I'm sure.
There's no drugs on planet Earth.
That have therapeutic properties.
There are drugs that will suppress chemistry.
There are drugs that will inhibit chemistry.
There's drugs that will block chemistry and maybe to hide symptoms or to mask symptoms or to change symptoms.
But healing is in the realm of nutrition from a topical and internal perspective.
Now, there's also spiritual and mental, emotional components.
You and I connect on that, and I don't want to marginalize that.
There's always going to be a spiritual, mental, and emotional component to all health and all.
Lack of health or disease states, but from a physical perspective, nutrition is the key.
And that's internally, and that's why if you go online and look at my work, you see me talking about nutrition for people who have cancer and Parkinson's disease and movement disorders and dementias, etc.
But likewise for the skin.
We have missed the boat on topical skin care because we're not regarding the skin.
And by the skin, I mean the skin cells, the keratinocytes and the...
The fibroblasts, the two main skin cells, as systems that are receptive to nutrition.
You know, when we're sick, Mike, and even when we die, it's because cells in some part of the body are not getting fed correctly.
Ultimately, they're not getting fed at all, and that's how cells end up dying, and that's how we end up dying.
So if you have psoriasis, if you have dry skin, if you have aging skin, if you have melasma or hyperpigmentation, if you have acne, if you have eczema, These are nutritional issues largely.
Yes, working with essential fatty acids and vitamin A and digestive control and working with the blood circulation are very important internally, but topically you can alleviate so many skin issues as benign as dry skin or as severe as psoriasis and eczema with the appropriate and intelligent use of topical Nutritional supplements.
And you don't have to be unhealthy either to benefit.
Just beautification.
Just for ordinary anti-aging and beautification, topical nutrition as well.
So that's one of the questions I want to ask you is about things like eczema, which as you know, the skin sort of displays the results of a lot of internal imbalances.
100%.
In many cases, right?
So if you have a digestive problem.
The vast majority.
Right, right.
So my question to you is, so let's say somebody, I mean, I have on my screen here your transdermal C serum, and I'd like to ask you about some of the ingredients there, but let's say that somebody is successfully treating eczema with this serum.
Yes.
But aren't you also wanting that person to address the root cause so that they're not just treating the skin on the outside?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
First of all, that's why we sell nutritional supplements, but it's also why I do education, and I do Zoom calls, and I have an online presence with tons of YouTube videos and blog posts, etc., because I really want to be an educator.
I want people to understand exactly what you said.
If you see it on the skin, it's rare, rare that it's initiated on the skin.
In fact, these conditions, what they call contact issues, are extremely rare.
Most conditions, and you refer to eczema, what we call eczema in the business is Topical dermatitis, which means it's not topical.
Atopical means it's not topical.
Dermatitis means it's an inflammatory condition.
And you know as well as I do, all disease, skin disease or otherwise, is inflammatory in nature.
And so what does inflammatory mean?
What does inflammation mean?
It's a protective response.
All diseases, Mike, are protective responses.
The manifestation of the body in a defensive posture.
And so if the body's in a defensive posture, if it's inflammatory, It means it's in a defensive posture.
The appropriate question to ask if you want to resolve the condition is, what the heck is the offending agent?
And let's stop the offending agent from entering into the system.
Now, to compound the offending agent is the weakness of the body due to toxic burdens, as you mentioned earlier, plus nutritional deficiencies.
So, in the case of eczema, we find that it's an immune reaction, an inflammatory reaction that starts off with a leaky gut.
Intestinal permeability issue.
And most people who have eczema will also know that they have bloating or gas or constipation or loose stools or some other kind of digestive health condition.
Likewise with asthma.
Likewise with psoriasis.
Likewise with pretty much any health condition you can name.
In fact, I came up with a system many years ago I call the triangle of disease which are the three points of bodily breakdown that underlie all health challenges.
Whether they're internal or external, and that's the digestive system, meaning the intestine, the blood sugar system, today we call it metabolic syndrome, and the adrenal-thyroid link.
And until you address these three points of bodily breakdown, which underlie all health challenges, you're not going to be able to take care of your heart disease or your cancer or your dementia or your autoimmune issues or your eczema or your psoriasis or your acne.
Conversely, when you do address the triangle of disease, all the markers...
These disease states will begin to subside, and it's true about the skin as well.
That's not to marginalize the importance of topical skincare, by the way, because, as I said earlier, you can enhance the benefits of your internal strategies with topical skincare, because if your formulations are created effectively and intelligently, you can leverage the ability of a product, of an active ingredient in a product to get through the skin surface, the stratum corneum, into the lower levels of the skin.
And this is something we pharmacists study, as you alluded to earlier.
You have nicotine patches and lidocaine patches and fentanyl patches and scopolamine patches and transdermal DMSO creams and transdermal estrogen creams and progesterone creams, et cetera.
And all of these take advantage of the skin's ability to absorb nutrients.
What I did with tooth treatments is I figured out that the cell needs nutrition, I've studied nutrition for many years, and I'm a nutritionist, so it just made sense to me.
To load up my topical skincare with high, and this is very important, high concentrations, not window dressing, not a spec, but high concentrations, almost 80%, fat-soluble vitamin C and that transdermal C serum that you just had on the screen.
Let me just say this real quick.
That gives your clients value.
They only need one drop or two drops.
We actually have to provide a spoon with some of our bombs so clients...
We'll use just the right amount.
In pharmacy, we say the dose makes the medicine and an effective product will be affected in very small doses and that gives your clients value.
And as I said earlier, it allows your skin to not have to confront a whole bunch of topical ingredients, which is just really Not an intelligent health strategy and not fair to this beautiful, loving, resilient organ we call the skin.
Okay, so I'm really glad you mentioned that because I want you to walk us through your formulation, your thinking, your strategy.
Let's start with this one, transdermal C serum.
Let me mention first, so this is a $99 product.
Now, at first glance, A person is going to say $99.
Well, at Walmart, I can get something that's the same size for $10.
Like, yeah, crap serum.
You can buy crap serum for $10.
So tell us, what's the difference?
Yeah.
It's just mathematics.
If your crap serum, as you call it, is 90% water...
You're getting 10 times the product in that little bottle of Transdermal C Serum.
So in effect, that $99 is like $9 or $9.99 compared to what you're getting from Walmart, which is still cheaper than Walmart.
Because you see, I took the water out.
I took the silicone out.
I took the vegetable oils out.
I took the waxes out.
I took the emulsifiers out.
I took the preservatives out.
I took the fragrances and anything that doesn't do something for your skin.
I'm a lover of the molecule, Mike, much like you are.
And what I like to say with my two treatments is, Every molecule counts.
Every little tiny nano piece of Truth Transdermal C Serum, the tiniest little piece, is going to have an effective amount of active ingredient that your skin will respond to, which is why you only need one drop.
So if there's 60 drops in that bottle, something along those lines, 60-70 drops in that bottle, what you're doing is you're ending up spending the same amount that you would for a Slather On product that Now it's going to force your skin to have to deal with all kinds of ingredients and is only at the end of the day going to have a fraction of the amount or the potency of our Tooth Transdermal C Serum.
And when you ask what my thinking was, my thinking was to not have people pay for water, not have people pay for gums, not have people pay for things that weren't going to do anything for their skin.
But Mike, we don't realize that skincare has an architecture.
It has a certain structure to it.
And that structure determines how much money the company is going to make and how much they're going to sell their product for.
With Truth Transdermal C Serum, and all my Truth Transdermal formulations, is I want to give my clients A, value, B, cleanliness and non-toxicity, and C, most importantly, effectiveness.
And you get that with a 100% Active and functional formulation.
That's what we like to say about our formulations.
They're 100% active and functional.
There's nothing in a product that I formulate at Truth Treatments that is not going to have a beneficial effect on your skin or is going to support the active ingredients through supporting transdermal penetration because it's underneath that you've got to be.
Not the stratum corneum, not the skin surface.
Okay, so I have another question for you about this.
I mean, I have lots of questions, but for those watching, where you can get this is healthrangerstore.com slash skincare.
And, you know, really, again, the only reason that we are partnering with Ben Fuchs on this is because we share that same alignment about nutrition and about having products that are free of toxins and that ultimately give you a much better value.
You know, this bottle...
It's a two-month supply, essentially, at one drop per treatment or per day.
Or maybe if you use it twice a day, then it's a one-month supply, right?
But it just depends on how much you want to use.
But Ben, it must be frustrating for you at some level to know you have decoded this.
You've put together the pieces of the puzzle.
You know what's good for people's skin, and yet the way that typical consumers decide what to buy is based on advertising, marketing, celebrity endorsements, the way it smells, the packaging, which has nothing to do with nutrition.
Mike, it's the same thing as you.
What do you think when you drive by the Golden Arches?
Are you like, how can this even exist?
How can this even be a thing?
I keep thinking I want to buy more food to put under the microscope.
That's a thought that comes to my mind.
But those of us who understand what's going on in the world of chemistry, and that's really what we're talking about is how human beings interact with chemistry, it's so darn frustrating.
And that's why the bulk of our business, Mike, is with healthcare professionals.
It's with dermatologists and plastic surgeons and estheticians.
And they know, they understand more than the average person.
Now, your listeners...
Or your viewers are not the average people.
Right.
They're very well informed.
They're very sophisticated, like you are.
They're very savvy and they're attuned to what's going on in the world in general and in the world of health in terms of their body.
So this is a product line that's specifically designed for listeners to your program.
For you, Mike.
Because I always felt like smart people didn't have a brand for themselves.
Smart people have to buy the same product that everybody has to buy.
The lowest common denominator type of products.
And that's really what skincare is about.
It's the lowest common denominator business that seeks to appeal to the widest variety of people, the most diverse amount of people for the lowest cost.
That's not fair.
What I thought was there are people like yourself, Mike, like your wife, like my friends, my family, my patients, people that we know, people that we interact with that deserve a brand that is sophisticated enough to really make changes in the skin that are not only Beauty changes, but at the end of the day, their health changes.
And that's why I encourage people to take our True Transdermal C Serum and put it on a cut.
Put it on a scrape.
Put it on broken skin and watch what it does for the broken skin.
And that is the litmus test.
That is the test that we should all be using to determine the effectiveness of our skincare products.
If you can't put your favorite moisturizer, anti-aging product, topical product of any kind on your baby's diaper rash or on a cut or scrape or burn and have it accelerate the healing of that cut or scrape or burn, it's not.
A beauty product either because growing collagen is a health condition as well as a beauty condition.
Building a strong barrier is a health condition as well as a beauty condition.
Keeping the keratinocytes and skin cells dividing appropriately and doing what they do, their natural God-given biochemical work is a health condition as much as it's a beauty condition.
And that's why I consider myself a healthcare professional.
I'm not a beauty professional.
I don't know anything about beauty, but I know about health.
And I consider myself a healthcare professional who develops and formulates beauty products.
Yeah, really good point.
So let me ask you then about sunlight exposure.
Yes.
Because, of course, the mainstream, the cosmetic industry, everything has tried to terrify people about sunlight for all these years.
Oh, you have to have these toxic sunscreen products.
The sun is going to kill you.
Well, I mean...
If we were in outer space outside Earth's magnetosphere and we were getting ionizing radiation, then I understand.
But you might die from the vacuum of space first.
But here on Earth, sunlight is necessary for life.
We're solar beings, Mike.
We're solar beings.
Photonic energy gets transduced into electrical energy in your skin by sulfate molecules.
We walk around as solar beings, not to mention the fact that the sun...
Helps us produce vitamin D. And on top of all that, Mike, among the most toxic and deadly chemicals you could ever put on your skin, and I always get a lot of heat from this, but I just got to give you the biochemical facts.
Among the most toxic and deadly, not to mention gender-bending, endocrine-disrupting chemicals that we put on the skin, I know you know this, are the sunscreens, the chemical sunscreens.
And if you're going to wear sun protection, the best sun protection, guess what?
Internal nutrition, pigments, antioxidants, amino acids like chlorine.
And cysteine, astaxanthin, exactly.
That's how God intended us to be protected from the sun.
Topically, if you want extra protection, always use zinc oxide.
It's the only topical sunscreen anybody should ever use.
Zinc oxide is not only sun protective, it not only blocks UVA and UVB and UVC rays, but it's also healing and a source of zinc.
And in pharmacy, we've been using zinc oxide topicals for healing burns and rashes and various skin traumas for decades.
For hundreds of years, really.
So zinc oxide is the only sun protection anybody should ever use.
If you have to use a sunscreen, if you're going to be burning, you never want to burn, that's for sure.
But if you have to use a sunscreen, chemical sunscreen, octamethoxycinemate or octosalicylate, sometimes people don't have options.
Use as low an SPF as you can and rinse it off your skin as soon as you don't need anymore.
Absolutely.
Because those chemicals are nasty.
And, you know, when I was teaching some...
Some sermons from the Bible and reading the Old Testament and reading Exodus and Moses leading his people out of slavery in Egypt and wandering the desert for decades.
They didn't have any sunscreen.
There's no mention of sunscreen in Exodus.
There's no mention of sunscreen in Deuteronomy.
And you know what they did have?
They had grapes.
They had the vine, which is the most prominent fruit mentioned in the Bible.
What do grapes have?
Resveratrol, right.
Proanthocyanidins in the seeds.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Grapes are loaded with so many things, but it was always, it was the natural fruits, it was the pomegranates, it was the figs, it was these things.
They didn't need sunscreen because they had nutrition.
Absolutely, 100%.
The best sunscreens are the pigments and flavonoids and carotenes and phytonutrients that are in the plants and vegetables.
And one of the major reasons why...
Our skin is not as healthy, particularly as we get older, is because many of these active ingredients in plants are fatty.
And as we age, particularly women, as women age, we don't absorb and women don't absorb their fats as effectively.
So I always tell people as we get older, it's important to braise your vegetables in some butter to release those fatty nutrients and then to use things like digestive enzymes, lipase, lecithin, phospholipids, things that help you absorb, Swedish bitters, things that help you absorb.
Fatty substances.
It's the best skin protection you could ever use for the sun.
And that is, like you said, that's how nature and God intended us to be protected from the sun is by having nutrients that are deposited in the skin and that can control or modify or mitigate the UVA, UVB, and even UVC rays.
But the sunscreens, stay away from.
Vitamin C, by the way, our topical vitamin C, has sun protection benefits as well.
As does our topical vitamin E's and our topical zinc formulations.
All of these provide the skin with nutrition that will not only protect the skin from the sun, but other environmental assaults as well.
And this just highlights how important topical nutrition is, not only for beauty, but for health and for protection from the elements.
So tell our audience, I brought up one of your products here, the Truth Trifecta Mini.
So I want to say, where can the audience start in order to sample your products?
Great place to start right there.
True Transdermal C Serum, I consider to be my flagship product.
It's almost 80% fat-soluble vitamin C. It's about 70, a little over, right?
It's a little over 78%, which means four-fifths of every drop is fat-soluble vitamin C. Fat-soluble vitamin C is stable.
It doesn't turn brown like ascorbic acid does.
Water-soluble vitamin C, that is.
And it penetrates, and it feels great on the skin.
We like to combine everything with our ionic plant-derived minerals.
You know, I've been talking about minerals for decades.
Ionic minerals are nature's most underappreciated nutrients.
And in fact, this is the reason why plants and vegetables are so important, is because not only are they sources of these soil-derived ionic minerals, but they use the ionic minerals to make vitamins and to make proteins and to make other substances that They give the plant or the fruit or the vegetable its nutritional value.
They're the foundation of all other nutrients.
Ionic minerals also act as transdermal penetrance, natural transdermal penetrance.
They chelate active ingredients and allow them to be pulled into the lower levels of the skin.
And along the same lines, they chelate toxins.
Plant-derived minerals are God's natural detoxifiers because of their ability to chelate toxins, right?
They're even used in industry to purify water.
Because of their tremendous chelating properties.
Of course, ionic plant-derived minerals have electrical properties, and these electrical properties help the field, and the skin has, like the whole body does, has an electrical field.
It helps modulate the electrical field of the body.
They act as voltage gate openers for cells.
This is so cool.
Not only do ionic plant-derived minerals support the penetration of other active ingredients through the skin, through this chelating property, But literally, they open up cells so that the payload of vitamin C and vitamin E and vitamin K and D and melatonin and the other ingredients can get delivered intracellularly, not just transdermally.
To me, this makes these ingredients super valuable on top of everything else.
They're nature's most fundamental and powerful antioxidants.
They are, in essence, what we call negative ions, which are sources of electrons, as most people in your audience probably know.
Negative ion generators and negative ions and earthing and grounding and walking barefoot in the dirt and going to the beach and forest bathing are all wonderful ways that we can support our health with these negative ions.
The minerals in our biomimetic mineral mist that form the basis of a lot of our products are exactly that.
They're electrically charged ions.
Yes, go ahead.
I'm sorry.
I'm so glad you mentioned this because you're absolutely correct.
So voltage-gated channels are well known for cell membranes.
Yes.
Live in the city now, obviously, and they have 5G signals, and so there's a penetration of voltage potential in their skin and in their tissues.
The reason I mention this is because, for example, many forms of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation exposure can alter voltage-gated calcium channels, and they can create calcium toxicity.
Calcium toxicity, exactly right.
Mike, you know your stuff, buddy.
Nobody talks about that.
It's called calcium toxicity.
That's exactly right.
It's a flooding of calcium into the cells.
That's brilliant, Mike.
I shouldn't be surprised, but that's great that you pointed that out because people don't realize that.
No, but the reason I bring that up is because with your products, people can take control over the positive voltage gating of the nutrients in order to help counteract the uncontrollable negative voltage gating of toxic levels of elements.
100%.
In the big picture, what we're talking about here is giving the skin what it's evolved with over the course of millions of years to protect itself.
Not only to heal itself and to nourish itself, but to protect itself.
We've created an environment where, even under the best of circumstances, Mike, we're saturated with toxicity just from EMFs.
That's right.
Let alone from all the stuff that's in the air, the toxins that are in the air and cigarette smoke and industrial waste that are being flooded in the environment and in the water.
So nutrients protect us from that.
And we don't even talk about that, but when you're using two treatments, not only are you going to heal the skin and not only are you going to beautify the skin, but you're also going to protect the skin.
In fact, one of my key protecting ingredients is something called C60, which you may have, I'm sure you've heard of C60.
Most people in your audience have probably heard of C60, but you know what?
10 years ago, you wouldn't have heard of C60 or 15 years or 20 years ago.
Today, we understand that it's a powerful antioxidant and skin protector, and it's one of our main featured ingredients.
Melatonin, likewise.
Most people know that melatonin is important for sleep, which it is, and it's very important as an overall antioxidant.
It has got health benefits for the digestive system.
It's a great topical defense molecule as well.
So in addition to the vitamins and minerals and the aminos and the fatty acids, you're also getting accessory nutrients that not only help beautify the skin and not only help improve the health of the skin, but like you say, protect the skin against the onslaught of toxicity that we're saturated with, our bodies and our skin are immersed with on a 24 /7, 365 day basis.
I'm so glad you mentioned melatonin.
That is a miracle molecule.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
Heck yes.
I think I have to do a whole mini documentary just on melatonin because of its antiviral effects and things like that.
It's extraordinary.
Oh my goodness.
Antiviral for heartburn, for intestinal health.
And people don't realize that there's a very close relation between melatonin and serotonin.
And they're converted into each other.
And so, you know, Mike, I love you, brother.
You know your stuff so well.
And the stuff you're talking about and that we're talking about here today is so dismissed and so marginalized and unfortunately marginalized at the cost of our human being longevity, human longevity, and human health.
Well, Ben, you know your stuff, let me say.
I'm totally impressed by your knowledge and your formulations.
There's nobody else I can think of that I would want to partner with who just 100% aligns with nutrition, detoxification.
Addressing the root problems of causes and so on.
So let me give out the website address again.
It's healthrangerstore.com slash skincare.
All one word.
It'll get you to this page, which is the Truth Treatment Systems product lines that we have available.
Obviously, your purchase here helps support our store and Ben Fuchs' entire brand and his company.
And we're going to expand this line to more of the things that you offer over time as we complete laboratory testing and so on.
Ben, is there anything else you want to add to this that people need to know?
Yes.
I love talking theory.
I'm all about molecules and chemistry and biochemistry.
I love it.
I walk out and nerd out just like you do, Mike, all the time.
But the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
One or two drops.
Watch what it does to your skin.
Watch what people are saying about your skin three, four, five days later.
Go on Trustpilot and just check out our reviews.
I'm telling you, if you use truth treatments correctly the way you're supposed to use them, you will never, ever use another skincare product again, and you will have a complete re-understanding and rethinking of what a skincare product is capable of doing.
Yeah, that's right.
And, you know, when you apply these with your hands and fingers, if you also end up touching your food, it's not a problem with toxicity, like with all these other off-the-shelf products.
You put it on your skin, and then you're supposed to wash your hands because it's so toxic.
How crazy is that?
It's ridiculous.
skincare is a ridiculous business.
And I've set out to change that, and with your help, that's exactly what we're going to do.
Thank you so much, Mike.
Well, we're thrilled to partner with you, Ben, and we're thrilled to be able to share this knowledge.
And how about this?
Let's leave the audience with, I want you to think of one powerful tip that doesn't involve your product line at all.
That people can do right now to have healthier skin.
Something simple, something low-cost or free.
Yes.
It doesn't involve true treatments.
Fats.
The secret to beautiful skin is in the fats.
Fatty vitamins.
That's vitamins D, E, A, and K. The two essential fatty acids, and they're both important, omega-6 and omega-3, and certain minerals that are handled by the fatty system, the body specifically, zinc and selenium.
Focus on intake.
And focus on fat absorption at the level of the pancreas, the liver, the gallbladder, and the intestine, and likely even to a certain degree of the stomach.
Fats, fats, fats.
And you'll notice, Mike, most of my hardcore formulations are fatty, fat-soluble.
Our transderbal C serum, our retinol gels, etc.
We do have some water-soluble products, but the real super active ones are in the realm of lipophilicity, or fat solubility.
It's all about the fats.
Okay, and I noticed that you're not using canola oil.
Oh, please.
Mike, you were like one of the first people to understand that 20 years ago.
I never use vegetable oils.
Right.
Ever.
And you know what, Mike?
If you see a vegetable oil skincare product, run.
Because that vegetable oil is not only rancid by the time they're using it, but it undergoes further oxidation, i.e.
rancidity, on your skin.
Let me tell you something.
One of the hidden causes of disease and one of the hidden sources of our poor longevity in this country is the ingestion.
Of processed, oxidized, rancid seed oils.
Absolutely.
And I'm glad people are starting to understand this because in pharmacy, we've been talking about it for many, many years.
I learned about it in pharmacy school in the 1980s.
So kudos to you, Mike, because that's 100% correct.
Processed, refined, oxidized fats are a huge, huge problem.
Did you know, by the way, flour contains small amounts of oxidized, rancid fats?
When you're eating flour products or deep-fried products that are breaded, that makes the oxidation problem, the interaction with oxidative byproducts even worse.
Yeah, yeah, it absolutely can.
This is why I blend avocados, not rapeseed oil.
That's great.
I mean, it's common sense.
Well, it should be common sense.
It's knowledge among people like us.
What's your smoothie real quick?
Okay, so yeah, avocados, bananas, our own whey protein.
I also put in there, I put some vitamin B12 because I don't eat a lot of meat.
That's the only purple vitamin, by the way, vitamin B12.
Oh, really?
The only purple vitamin.
Is that cool?
I also put beetroot in here.
Oh, love beets.
Yeah.
Love beets.
Beets are finally getting the publicity they deserve.
Super powerful.
Nitric oxide.
Mike, I love you, man.
You are so right on.
I started reading your stuff in the 1990s.
No kidding.
Wow.
Isn't that crazy?
That goes back a ways.
Ben, it's a pleasure to have you on.
Thank you for taking the time.
Thank you for all that you do.
We look forward to sharing your technology with our audience.
Thank you so much, Mike.
I'm very, very grateful.
I am too.
Happy to know you, Ben.
Take care.
For those of you watching, I hope you found valuable information here.
It's really incredible.
Ben is a living encyclopedia of knowledge, as you can tell, in all these areas.
We should have a website where you can ask Ben's AI clone for his knowledge.
Maybe we'll do that, because we're doing AI.
In the meantime...

And that's cool.
Can you show that side shot again?
This is actually over here.
These are pine needles under the microscope because I was just filming a microscope segment.
Can you see that?
And I'm zooming around the microscope.
Look.
Check this out.
We can even zoom in on these pine needles.
I've got like this remote control microscope here.
I have a whole other segment on that if you want to see our new microscope and what we're doing with that.
But we're using the best technology to look at food and to be able to find contaminants, not just visually with microscopy, but also, of course, with our ISO-accredited mass spec laboratory.
So we do the heavy metals testing.
We do the glyphosate testing.
We do aflatoxin testing.
We do E. coli, salmonella, yeast, and mold testing, and much more.

Ultra clean and certified organic foods and superfoods and nutritional supplements.
Let me tell you about another one.
We have green tea tincture here as well.
And it's a non-alcohol formula.
So it's certified organic.
Here it is.
Green tea tincture, naturally high in L-theanine, which is one of the miraculous molecules of green tea in here.
You can read about it here.
And it's a glycerin tincture as well.
And green tea, of course, has EGCG.
And various catechins that have all kinds of amazing benefits for health.
And I blend in a little bit of green tea into my smoothie as well.
So, you know, on top of turmeric and on top of whey protein and some of the other things that I use because I'm powered by superfoods every single day.
And then on top of that, we have this ultra delicious, we've got these new mango slices here.
These are chewy.
Certified organic, laboratory-tested mango slices called Soft Dried.
And it's just right for a snack.
And I'm drooling a little bit because these are better than candy.
If you're craving candy bars or something, try some of these.
It's the best snack that you can think of.
These organic mango slices, just ready to go.
You can toss them in a purse or a backpack.
Excuse me, you can take them on an airplane.
You can take them to work, whatever.
And we've got apple slices as well, the same kind of format right here.
Now, you know, these aren't inexpensive, but they're ready to go, and you don't have to go out to a store and slice them up and figure out how to seal them up and so on.
These are just ready to go, so it's convenient but healthy food.
It's fast food but incredibly healthy organic lab-tested, you know, super fruits, basically, at least the mango.
