The mitochondria are not just the powerhouse of the cell; they are the engines that run our entire body. If we can remove the obstructions to energy production (calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis) everything works better, we experience mental clarity and emotional resilience.
In this solo show I respond to questions that listeners sent in including: What is my current health gadget routine? Can zinc be high dosed for skin issues? What is my current diet? What are my thoughts on the health impacts of geomagnetic storms? What are my recommendations on how to optimize office desk space? Am I still taking shots of magnesium bicarbonate? How would I tackle brain fog, lack of focus, anxiety and depression? What are my recommendations for a woman in her late 30s that wants to regain her libido?

Known in the states as Kanna, the indigenous San and Khoi tribes in South Africa call it Sceletium. Rich in alkaloids and orders of magnitude more complex than cannabis, kanna has a very strong effect on the central nervous system and pulls various levers in the body.
Ryan Latreille started his company Kanna Extract to create very pure extracts free of pesticides, heavy metals and solvents. He offers different extracts with varying levels of different alkaloids which provides a wide range of effects. Want to feel energized? Take lift. Want to feel social? Take play. Want to chill out? Take relax. Want to sleep well? Take dream.
He shares his thoughts on plant medicines and how that brought him to kanna, his general thoughts on psychedelics, my thoughts on them, how to use kanna in your coffee, how to snort kanna, how it affects the serotonin pathway, what it does to PDE4, and more.

Do you live in an older home or love purchasing cookware from thrift stores? You could be exposed to the heavy metal lead which can increase ADHD and lower IQ. It can also elevate blood pressure and even lead to more serious effects like heart attacks. Eric Ritter created an affordable at-home test called Fluoro-Spec that allows you to become a lead detective and nail down the source in your home.
In this interview he shares the history of lead, how social media influencers can easily sensationalize the numbers, how to view parts per billion amounts of lead in food products in proper context, how shooting ranges expose you to lead, which mineral the body mistakes for lead, his thoughts on lead content in salts, which foods have the highest lead content, what to look out for when renovating a home, his thoughts on if we should go back to using lead paint to shield from EMFs, and a whole lot more.

Recently there has been a plethora of articles painting the popular supplement methylene blue in a bad light. Some of the claims include: its synthetic so that makes it unsafe, it will stain your brain permanently blue, it will cause excessive serotonin in the brain, and that it could decrease mitochondrial function in people with healthy mitochondria, or that it can inhibit nitric oxide.
Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to debunk these arguments using sound science and reason. I have been ingesting methylene blue for five years now with some breaks and I have experienced zero negative side effects, both short or long term. Fear and sensationalism gets engagement and it also provides an opportunity to deepen the conversation with more context which Scott does in this episode.

A cancer diagnosis is a scary thing. It often comes out of nowhere and happens with people that are either living a healthier lifestyle or are close to others that do. Obviously the natural health community is missing pieces of the puzzle. This episode is an addendum to one I recorded four years ago about cancer solutions. I have changed my mind on a lot but also realized that I never explicitly defined what cancer is or where it’s located in the previous show.
I define what cancer is, exactly which part of the cell its found in, why we need healthy mitochondria, the interplay between ATP and the structured water in our cells, what supports the formation of structured water in our body, what blocks the formation of structured water, the power of carbon dioxide against tumors, and other solutions that I’ve found over the past 15 years.

When we plug a new electronic device into our home we might think about how many watts it consumes but we never think about whether it could be a source of dirty electricity (DE).
DE is created when a device switches power supplies and changes from DC to AC or vice versa with an inverter. It is a high frequency voltage transient that rides along the electrical wiring in your walls and radiates out into the center of the room.
BD Erickson of Satic Shield joins us to talk about his research of nearly 20 years, standing on the shoulders of giants in the field and innovating more effective DE filters using the latest technology. In this show he also shares a ton of free, or almost free, tips for lowering your exposure to EMF radiation of all kinds. He even shares a type of light bulb that acts as a dirty electricity filter itself!

If you follow me on social media you may have seen me sporting a double barrel shotgun and opening up some quantum scalar devices to see whats inside of them. You would think that companies would be transparent and show the inner components on their website but they do not. There is a lot of proprietary language and that you just have to believe them that decades of research led to the product being groundbreaking and legitimate.
The fact is that all of these scalar emitting and quantum devices are BS and a waste of money. I share what led me to this realization and also real and affordable solutions that you can implement instead to protect you and your loved ones from the deleterious effects of electromagnetic radiation.
An easy way to vet an EMF mitigating product is that if it’s doing something that you cannot measure proceed with skepticism. Vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, melatonin and zinc are all documented in clinical literature to have measurable protective effects against EMFs and they are all much more affordable than $3500 “scalar emitting” boxes.

You are only as healthy as the environment you live in. From mold exposure to volatile organic compounds to electromagnetic radiation, the list of exposures that our body has to process is extensive. Holding a triple certification from the Building Biology Institute, Brian Johnson is cahgnign the way that we think about home construction. He educates builders and renovators about how to built a home free of harmful chemicals down to using recycled wood blocks instead of polystyrene foam blocks and wool insulation instead of fiberglass and formaldehyde insulation.
In this episode he talks about his mold prevention strategy, how to optimize lighting, why he prefers LED bulbs to incandescent, why you should remove dimmer switches from your home, which lighting companies to purchase from that don’t create dirty electricity, why you want to have multiple breaker panels, his thoughts on EMF shielding paint, why he doesn’t like the Starlink router and his solution, what to do about smart meters, his thoughts on grounding indoors, shielded clothing, air filtration, and more.

Candida overgrowth, chronic fatigue, anxiety, multiple chemical sensitivity and electrosensitivity were a few of Elizabeth Wells symptoms that led her to the liver flushing protocol.
She realized that the gut cannot heal without the liver involved so she began the practice of liver flushing which involves removing a few things from the diet, taking a stone softener, fasting for half of the day and then drinking epsom salt, olive oil and grapefruit and lemon juice.
In this episode she breaks down the details of timing and what to look out for. The reason why you would want to flush your liver is to remove old thickened bile, crystalized cholesterol, bile stones, liver flukes, and other undesirables. Even if you don’t plan on ever doing a liver flush, there are a lot of helpful and practical gems in this episode about how to support the health of your liver.

After a long break and many people inquiring about the shows return I feel grounded enough to restart and share my unique perspectives on human health and solutions to modern problems.
Unlike other health educators that get stuck in one paradigm of thinking, I have made it part of my ethos to go against the grain.
Rogue State of Mind is the new name for my podcast, formally Mitolife Radio, because I have gone rogue and I encourage you to do the same.

Most people take the light in their life for granted. People wear dark glasses to block light during the daytime and nothing on their eyes at night. This gives the retina in the eye the signal that night time when its really daytime and that its daytime when its really night time. This small example illustrates how disconnected humans have become with their environment and this circadian mismatch coincides with the rise in neolithic diseases.
Dr Alexander Wunsch has been studying the science of photobiology for decades and joins us to share his thoughts on how we can improve our relationship with light, both natural and artificial. I ask him about incandescent versus LED lights, he explains why darker skinned people do not have more melanin, which types of skin cancer come from overexposure to sunlight, how to determine your tolerance to sunlight, his thoughts on photosensitizers, which wavelengths of light window panes block, his thoughts on sauna therapy, vitamin D, why he doesn't like narrowband UV light devices, why red light panels are not quasi-monochromatic and why he's concerned with them, and more.

What happens to our health if the body thinks that its daytime when its nighttime and nighttime when its daytime? Sarah Kleiner shares her experience healing herself of Hashimotos, IBS, skin issues, and birth complications. She talks about out how to optimize leptin and how the benefits of sunlight exposure are more about melatonin and less about vitamin D.
She also talks about sunscreen, how long to expose our eyes to the sun in the morning, when the best time of year to use sauna therapy and drink deuterium depleted water, the deliterious effects of sunglasses, which kind of light therapy won't disregulate your circadian rhythm at night, why she uses ultraviolet bug zappers throughout her house, her thoughts on earthing products, and more.
Her MyCircadian app that she created is a great tool to use to measure lux (light intensity), see the times of day that ultraviolet A light is present, and when you input your height, weight and Fitzpatrick skin type you can measure your vitamin D production.

When we think of artificial ultraviolet light we often think of tanning beds. Most are unaware that tanning beds only contain one part of the ultraviolet spectrum, causing cellular harm. The best way to dose ultraviolet light from artificial sources is to mix in some visible red and near infrared light; that is how the sun does it.
Kris Sweeting, creator of EMR Tek, was raised with tanning beds in his bedroom since he was five years old. Diagnosed with vitiligo at 3, he committed his teenage years to solving that issue and succeeded using light therapy.
In this interview he talks about the human photoprotective response, why a sunburn is not actually a burn, what melanogenesis means, how seed oils gave him an age spot, why his UV lights use Philips bulbs, the difference between UVA, UVB and UVC wavelengths, what narrowband ultraviolet light means, the benefits of UV beyond vitamin D, his thoughts on vitamin D supplements, and much more.

When is the last time you've looked at the tag on your underwear, pants, shorts, shirts, or jackets? There are literally thousands of things that we can upgrade in our lives to reduce our risk of acquiring a disease and half of the battle is not getting stressed about it and just making small incremental changes month after month.
Dan Baird created NADS underwear, an alternative to polyester and synthetic material laden products that doesn't put microplastics, forever chemicals, pesticides, formaldehyde, and other compounds straight into the reproductive organs. Over time they become a major contributing factor to erectile dysfunction, infertility and decreased testosterone.
He shares his journey of raising his testosterone and how changing out his clothing played a pivotal role. He talks about the dangers of nylon and elastane, the two certifications that he has for his organic cotton underwear, how the chemicals in low quality clothing are reactivated in the skin when you sweat in a sauna, and more.

Every once in awhile i'll see a surge of "return to nature" arguments with regards to drinking water. In a recent podcast I heard the guest going as far as to defend tap water, conflating reverse osmosis with distilled water, making the argument that our ancestors didn't filter their water, saying that reverse osmosis causes greying of hair, arsenic is an essential mineral, and other wild claims.
Austin Sneller, water filtration expert and creator of Flow Motion Water Systems returns to the show to deconstruct these myths that don't have any basis in reality or facts to back them up. Whether you're a beginner in the water filtration arena or a veteran, there is something everyone can learn in this episode.

When I started studying human health back in 2010 I immediately started not only reading about but taking action on information that I learned about light, water and magnetism. I was grounding myself rod to earth while I slept within the first year of my research.
Fast forward to 2024 and i've seen many difference companies pop up from silver embedded clothing that acts as a "floating ground" to energetic pendants you wear around your neck that cost several thousand dollars that claim to structure the water in your body and harmonize electromagnetic radiation around you.
In this episode I share my fourteen year journey of what I've found works and doesn't work in the realm of nutritional supplements and technologies. I share my top five supplements that have been clinically proven to protect your cells from EMF and why I think those are the foundation before integrating any health technology into your lifestyle.

Bacillus subtilis is a common bacteria that is found in the upper layers of soil, dairy products, and fermented foods. Zack Abbott, co-founder of ZBiotics, genetically modified that strain of bacteria to give it the unique function of converting a form of sugar called sucrose into a unique type of fiber called levan.
In this episode he shares his thoughts on why the naturalist approach is not always best for human health, why fiber intake is crucial for optimal health, why he consumes 50-60 grams of fiber everyday, the anti stress effects of fiber, the health benefits of short chain fatty acids, his thoughts on the validity of stool tests, and more.

There is a lot of noise on social media about the harms or usefulness of various supplements. Zeolite is one that is constantly under attack with information that always lacks nuance and specificity about the dosage and form of zeolite, whether its powdered, liquid or nano. While a lot of the misinformation was deconstructed in the first show with Jeff Hoyt, owner of Zeolite Labs, in this show the actual proof is provided that the right dosage and the right form of zeolite supplementation can actually lower heavy metal content in the tissues and increase vitamin and mineral status. This is contrary to what you hear about zeolite aggressively stripping your body of nutrients and leaving you worse off than when you started. My performance this year in spite of various challenges also disproves the myth that all you have to do is follow the bioenergetic approach to achieve peak health and no supplements are required. Since taking sufficient amounts of zeolite powder I have become more grounded, more mentally sound and less emotionally reactive.
About halfway through this episode we go through the past five months of my oligoscan results using spectrophotometry to measure the heavy metals present in the tissue of my hand. My aluminum has only steadily decreased since supplementing zeolite, which is made of aluminum silicate, and all other heavy metals are steadily dropping as well.

Did you know that the creator of Kelloggs corn flakes had a brother that became obsessed with light therapy? Brian Richards, founder of Sauna Space, joins us to talk about the history of light therapy and how it helped improve his past struggles with insomnia, brain fog and fatigue. We talk about the difference between sunlight and artificial light therapy, the potential dangers of sunlight, the importance of near infrared light, what comes out of your body when you sweat in a sauna, his personal sauna routine, what makes his Firelight bulbs different from chicken coop heat lamps, why he added EMF shielding to his product, how he shielded the cables for his product, and why he added a metal cage around the bulbs.
I also ask him about flicker, how to use his lights to improve the health of the home environment, how long it takes to complete a full sauna session in his tent, his thoughts on red LED devices, his mineral supplement routine, thoughts on binders, and more.

What is homeopathy and where did it start? What is "like cures like", minimum dose and the laws of cure? How do you choose the right potency of a homeopathic remedy? Where should someone begin when working with the twelve tissue salts? Which homeopathic remedies should someone keep in their first aid kit? What is the astrology and homeopathy connection and how do you find which tissue salt is associated with your sun sign?
Dr Robert Selig runs a natural health practice out of Chicago and returns to the show to explain the synergy between hair tissue mineral analysis testing, mineral balancing, and using homeopathy which is energy medicine.

In this episode I explain not only why I'm moving again but why I've been moving frequently for the past few years. I talk about the 100 acres that I'm moving to soon and what I'm doing to restore an abandoned large underground bunker with a built-in pyramid. I break down my plans for how the tall capstone will be built, talk about pyramid energy and my experience with it, how I'm going to manage the lighting situation, my thoughts on sleeping underground, and the advantage of having geothermal cooling in the summer.
I've watched a lot of YouTube videos over the years of people building various sizes of bunkers underground, from large cylinders with flooring installed to multi-million dollar luxury ones. I talk about why I think those are overkill and what threats you're reastically mitigating by having a bunker. The TLDR is that I'm seeking a healthy blend between aesthetics, functionality and safety. If I decide to host health retreats again this will be the most interesting venue in the world.

I often see health educators talk down on the need for supplements, going as far as to say they are a waste of money or toxic. While these can be true for lower quality brands that put profit above quality, it is not always true. Nutritional supplements save lives and they're necessary in today's world. In this solo show I break down exactly why supplements are required. People will often defend supplements by only going as far as saying the soils are depleted, but will not go into details, especially about salt based NPK fertilizer and the catastrophic effects of acid rain on the soil. Iyr produce is not what it used to be, even if its certified organic or purchased from your local farmers market. Enjoy this deep dive where I talk about biosolids and how "forever chemicals" have gotten into our produce and meat, the devastating effects of acid rain on fungal mycorrhizae in soil, how metals compete for beneficial minerals, and the supplements that I recommend to stay in balance.

It seems that every month on social media there is a new boogeyman in the health world, whether its a vitamin, mineral, or a safe substance like zeolite. The caveat to it being safe is found in this podcast with Jeff Hoyt, owner of Zeolite Labs.
This is a "Best Of" show repost from earlier this year because I think its really important that this information gets out. I've never heard anyone else explain zeolite like he does, and go beyond theories with actual concrete proof of people detoxifying lead, mercury, and even aluminum, even though zeolite itself is made of aluminum.
He breaks down what makes powdered zeolite different from liquid and nano products, why clean zeolite powder is not a stressful detox for the body, how it swaps beneficial minerals inside of its cage for metals, why more is better, why he prefers "catch and release" to "push and catch" protocols, the other toxins that zeolite binds to besides heavy metals, how zeolite can help your allergies, how the original use case for zeolite was for hangovers, and more.

Rick Malter is a PhD and a veteran in the space of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) testing. He was around when it was just getting started and in the early 2000s he decided to retire from his psychology practice and devote all of his time to refining the art and science of HTMA to improve human health.
In this episode he talks about Dr Paul Eck and Dr David Watts and their knowledge of Hans Selye's work on stress. He expands on how widespread magnesium deficiency is and how excess copper wreaks havoc on the mineral system. I ask him his thoughts on ascorbic acid and ceruloplasmin, where the excess copper is coming from, his thoughts on vitamin A "toxicity", vitamin D testing, zinc and copper ratio, coffee enemas, saunas, binders, Abram Hoffer and niacin, homeopathy, and more.
I have interviewed several HTMA practitioners at this point and I continued to be fascinated with how they each approach it in a slightly different way. Rick does not think that coffee enemas are necessary to detoxify metals and he really focuses in on magnesium deficiency but also one's ability to retain it in the cell which requires vitamin A and potassium.

When you get deep enough into the natural health world, you learn about heavy hydrogen or deuterium. It is a natural contaminant that builds up in our body over time and stalls the nano motor in our mitochondria called the ATPase.
Victor Sagalovsky of Litewater joins us once again to talk about the health benefits of depleting deuterium in the body, not only for disease prevention but also to radically extend human lifespan. He talks about the cancer connection with deuterium, how the Russians discovered it, how your body will intelligently shuttle deuterium to less important tissues, on average how many molecules of HDO are in a glass of water, and how deuterium affects our reflex time.
He also talks about human photosynthesis and why he loves melanin, we get into a friendly debate about whole food vs isolated supplements, he shares his theory on what the Ark of the Convenant was, and I ask listener questions including his thoughts on hydrogen infused water, sunlight to deplete deuterium, and the ideal PPM of deuterium in our drinking water.

The environment that we live in has a huge impact on our health, both from a materials standpoint of what the home is made out of and even the shape of the structure itself. When I began studying nutrition over a decade ago I meditated quite a bit on the thought that we are always inside of boxes and maybe thats what keeps our ability to think critically constrained inside a metaphorical box.
I slept and meditated underneath pyramids for several years and more recently began growing plants and spending time inside a geodesic growing dome. I've noticed that plants grow effortlessly in there, abundant and massive, and my mind always feels more still when I'm gardening inside it.
A few years ago I came across Geoship, a startup company that uses a material that took 12 years to develop, a ceramic composite. There is no metal to corrode and no wood to rot or get eaten by bugs, so it is a structure that will last for hundreds of years. Having lived in cabins for the past 5 years, I can say that those structures are inferior and will eventually become obsolete.
Geoship domes are mold resistant, energy efficient (70% reduction in heating and cooling costs), have grounded floors, the walls release far infrared light, they can be built in a few weeks interior included, and best of all, they are affordable. Earlier this year I invested in this company to secure the first Geoship in Idaho that will go on top of my subterranean bunker. I am confident that this company will explode in popularity over the next few years.

Cordycepin is the main compound in the parasitic fungus cordyceps that exerts numerous effects on immune health, respiratory health, energy, stamina, libido, and more. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and recently we've discovered the exact mechanisms of how it exerts its beneficial effects.
Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to talk about the various applications of supplementing cordycepin. He talks about how its an adenosine analog, high dosing it, its effects on improving sleep, its effect on decreasing inflammation, how it could help with infection, its effect on mTOR, how it can help counter negative effects from caffeine, and at the end I ask him some questions about methylene blue.

Carbon dioxide, CO2, is often referred to as a waste product of cellular metabolism, as well as an environmental problem as it relates to shifting the temperature of the earth with a greenhouse effect.
Oxygen therapy is, by far, the most promoted health therapy out there that utilizes gasses. Second place would go to ozone gas, and third would go to energized noble gasses like in the Paul Harris TheraPhi device.
CO2 therapy for human health is way down the list and you would be hard pressed to find it at any health spa. This is very unfortunate because in my eyes it is near the very top of health therapies, largely for its affordability, to create the biggest shift. This is largely because of carbon dioxide's organizing effect on the water and proteins inside our cells.
In this episode Steve Scott, founder of Carbogenetics, talks about the many health benefits of this gas including its effects on exercise performance, wound healing, cancer prevention, energy production, protection from lipid peroxidation, bone health, the longevity connection, nutritional synergists, mood improvement, and more. He talks about his breathing apparatus and the body suit which is essentially a CO2 air bath.

Glutathione is one of the major endogenous antioxidants that is made in nearly every cell in our body. Oxidative stress occurs when the body is exposed to toxins whether its air pollution from cars, excessive heavy metals, mold, or disruptive types of EMF.
Dr Nayan Patel, inventor of a transdermal glutathione called Glutaryl, explains how it quenches free radicals and how people have used it to recover faster from injury, strength training, and infections. Most glutathione products are either encapsulated, liposomal, suppository or intravenous forms. I was really impressed with how much I felt the beneficial effects of Glutaryl when I applied it twice a day for a few months so I was inspired to have the founder on the show.

We often hear about detoxifying our body and if we do hear about detoxifying our home it is only laser focused on mold or electromagnetic fields. We need hyper specialization to get to the root of problems but we also need big picture perspectives. In this episode Josh Kaye, author of "Toxic: A Comprehensive Guide to a Healthier Home", joins us to provide that zoomed-out view of all of the pitfalls in modern living and choices we can make to upgrade different areas.
We talk about water filtration for drinking and bathing, mold prevention, his favorite laundry detergent, polyester clothing and alternatives, why he like stainless steel cookware, how to test the health of your light bulbs using your iPhone, EMFs, electric cars, bedding, and more.

In 2019 I designed a health protocol that was based on my previous 10 years of research and experience with nutrition, supplements and health technology. I recorded one show summarizing my CLF Protocol several years ago but I figured it is time to do a deep dive into each of its three parts, starting with lipofuscin.
In this solo show I share information that i've never talked about nor seen anyone else talk about regarding lipofuscin and specifically its relationship to polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake and vitamin E. I talk about what lipofuscin is, who I learned about it from, what light it emits when it gets hit with ultraviolet light, why its harmful to our health, and the solutions i've found to slow its accumulation and even stimulate its removal.

What role does genetics and the health of the parents play in a child's risk of developing a skin condition like eczema? Why is it a myth that only the mother's health matters and not the fathers in healthy child development? What causes "leaky skin"? Which foods should be limited initially when healing from eczema? Why can sunlight exposure exacerbate eczema?
Abbie Bradford answers all of these questions and much more in this chat all about the skin condition called eczema specifically as it relates to children. I grew up with itching the inside of my arms until they bled and when my eczema went away acne cropped up... so I am passionate about this topic and providing resources for parents to avoid a childhood of tarnished self esteem which really affects relationship and career development. Eczema and skin conditions in general are a big deal that can really impair one's ability to live a full life.

The Oligoscan test uses the science of spectrophotometry to see the absorption and reflection of light from vitamins, minerals and heavy metals stored in the tissue of the palm of your hand. If it sounds too good to be true, you'll be surprised to hear the legitimate science behind it from the son of one of the original global distributors of Oligoscan, Jeff Lioon.
He breaks down how the technology works in this show but the majority of it is focused on deciphering the test itself and describing all of the complex interactions between our environmental toxins, diet, lifestyle habits, and how those affect our vitamin and mineral balance.
We talk about the relationship between iodine and fluoride, why kryptopyrroluria is a big deal, how we get copper toxic, the difference between oligoscan and other tests, what low vitamin B9 means, the silica and aluminum connection, what high antimony means, what high gadolinium usually means, where antimony is coming from in our environment, the excretor theory, and trends that hes seen in the over 1500 scans he's done on clients.

When people in the natural health community hear the term "Transhumanism" there is a knee-jerk emotional reaction, and some of that feeling is justified. Many of the big tech giants that have been censoring alternative perspectives are also heavily involved in the development of artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality systems.
Zoltan Istvan ran for president under the Transhumanist Party and drove the "Immortality Bus" all around the United States with the goal of spreading awareness of the importance of shifting our focus away from fighting wars to using science and technology to prevent and reverse disease and even solve aging.
In this episode he talks about: what the transhumanist wager is, his thoughts on ChatGPT, the replacement of jobs and potentially human relationships by humanoid robot artificial intelligence, the dishwashing robot that just came out, dystopian AI movies, solar cars, overpopulation, Neuralink, his recommendations for being healthy, thoughts on alcohol, and more.

What are the things to look for when shopping for an air filtration unit? Does the company use flashy words like "ultra" in front of their filtration media to make it sound better than it is? Do you know what the four grades of filtery efficiency is? Are higher grades always better or can they be worse for your situation? Are stand alone air filtration units even the highest choice for your situation? Did you know that your HVAC system moves 30 to 40 times more air than your $1000 HEPA filtration unit?
David Milburn of HypoAllergenic Air joins me for the first time since 2019 (my first podcast episode) to talk about all of the dirty secrets in the air filtration industry. I am passionate about this topic because I see many parallels between the air filter and water filter marketing tactics. There are lots of razzle and dazzle claims without much substance behind them.

Detoxifying the body using clinoptilolite, AKA zeolite, has been a trendy topic for several years, with the nano zeolite products being the most popular.
My perspective is that liposomal supplements are a complete scam, so I was thrilled to interview someone with a similar mindset when it comes to zeolite: smaller is not always better.
Jeff Hoyt of Zeolite Labs breaks down a ton of myths around zeolite products, including: Do we get aluminum toxic from taking zeolite because it is made of aluminum? How is it able to act as a selective or smart binder? Is synthetic zeolite as good as natural zeolite? What is the difference between powder, liquid and nano zeolite products? Why does taking a small dose lead to a less efficient detox? How does his ZeoCharge product differ from the push/catch protocols out there? Do we actually want to get zeolite into our brain?

Hair tissue mineral analsyis or HTMA testing is done when you send in your hair to a laboratory and then they essentially burn it using ion mass spectrometry to create a readout on the mineral ratios present in it. This is a reflection of the mineral ratios systemically throughout the body.
Matt Coffman is an HTMA practitioner that has done a lot of the same experiments that I've done as far as high dose copper supplementation and iron dumping protocols. He healed himself using HTMA principles of testing and retesting while taking strategic supplements to balance his ratios.
In this interview he breaks down several of the big ratios and how they connect to hormones and other aspects of human physiology, why he thinks retinyl palmitate gets bad press, how heavy metals affect the adrenals, why he doesn't recommend taking zinc without copper, what ratio connects to your carb tolerance, which ratio connects to your thyroid gland, why supplementing calcium won't necessarily cause calcification, and more.

There was a ton of gadgets that you can use to influence your drinking water, ideally after its gone through a proper filtration system. Infopathy is in its own category. It uses "digitized substances" that are uploaded into a database which can then be imprinted into water by forming coherent domains. In English this means that you can basically take any supplement you want by just drinking a glass of water throughout the day.
My mother raised me with homeopathic medicine and I view Infopathy as a kind of homeopathic alien technology. If you ever experience what its like to drink imprinted water you'll feel like you're living Star Trek land. It looks and sounds like magic but it is based on solid science going back to Italian researchers Emilio Del Giudice and Giuliano Preparatta that pioneered quantum electrodynamic theory. Whenever I hear the word "quantum" I usually roll my eyes and walk the other way but this is something that you can tangibly experience with a blind taste test using shot glasses.
In this episode Anton Fedorenko talks about how it works scientifically, where it parallels with homeopathy, his thoughts on non native electromagnetic fields, Royal Rife, tips on using the Infopathy IC pad, and the upgrades that their version 3 pad received.

We delve into all of this and more with Brian Hoyer of Shielded Healing. He trained at the Klinghardt Academt and is a certified Geobiologist. Brian and his team travel the country upgrading home environments to be more conducive to health. I learned a lot in this interview and it made me question several of my assumptions about EMF mitigation.

I was thrilled to interview the youngest podcast guest i've ever had on the show. Calvin Scheller is currently 18 years old and has been studying human physiology and nutrition since the age of 13. He is self taught but he is also enrolled in college and pursuing a degree in biology with a specialization in bioprocess technology.
In this episode he breaks down the subject he knows best, insulin resistance. He tears apart the conventional dogmas pushed by the ketogenic and carnivore community. He explains the biochemistry of why carbohydrate consumption is not the problem, although minimizing them for a time could be beneficial for some people, not everyone.
This is a very technical episode where Calvin rapid fire explains the biochemistry of glucose and insulin and why the focus should not be on macronutrients but more on maintaining a healthy body weight and exercising regularly. I ask him several listener questions that were sent in near the end.

Austin Sneller began his journey with water by opening up coffee machines and seeing all of the nasty gunk that built up over time. He has been studying the water filtration industry for a decade and brings his expertise to Mitolife with the co-creation of the 7 Stage Water Solution, setting a new standard for quality and effectiveness.
In this show we talk about what reverse osmosis means, cheaper water filters (Costco), the cost of water filters in general, what makes the Mitolife water filter so different from all the rest, and compare the Mitolife filter to popular brands such as Ophora, AquaTru and Kangen. I ask Austin listener questions including: Does he like the EWG tap water database? How important is filtering your shower water? What's the best home filtration unit? What water does he drink at an airport? Thoughts on hydrogen water? and more...

If you've been interested in natural healing for several years you've probably done a parasite cleanse. Holistic healthcare practitioner Angela Stinson has done it all from the pharmaceutical anti-parasitics to turpentine and everything inbetween. She shares her journey of being overweight, being on over 30 medications and losing her hair from cleansing too aggressively. Now she educates her clients to go slow and steady and to always ask the question before starting a parasite cleanse: Is my nervous system ready for it?
In this episode she shares her thoughts on why we need parasites in our body, how anti-parasitic herbs affect our gut microbiome long term, if we have to travel internationally to get parasites, and whether she sees more iron overload or iron deficiency with her clients. She talks about why she likes bio-energetic testing, homeopathy, castor oil packs, and binders. I ask her numerous listener questions including: Does cleansing during the full moon actually do anything? Are we doomed to have parasites if we eat sushi frequently? Garlic enemas and other intense recipes, thoughts on Hulda Clark and the "Zapper", liver flukes, which foods kill parasites, is it safe to cleanse while breastfeeding or pregnant, thoughts on diatomaceous earth and psylliium husk, and a lot more.

Ideas that I was just getting into at the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020 have now reached mainstream alternative health channels. I see it as my duty as a health researcher and educator to always be transparent when new information comes to light that flips what I thought I knew on its head. Whenever I offer valid counter arguments to popular beliefs it always causes a lot of social turbulence. Most of the topics that I cover in this show are still alive and kicking. I talk about iron overload, whole food vitamin C, pro copper and anti zinc argument, why I don't block EMFs anymore, and why I'm not worried aobut cod liver oil giving me lipofuscin. I support the points I make with several scientific studies.
At the end of the show I share a quote by the Joker from the movie The Dark Knight: "It's not about the money. It's about sending a message." That encompasses my work perfectly. My message is that we should always rock the boat, stir the pot, and challenge popular beliefs even if it offends people. Usually it offends the people the most that have built a reputation and following upon false beliefs.
This is a nearly two hour show packed with information that you will not get from any other podcast. As I've said before... search "vitamin C" and you'll see a plethora of shows praising the safety of "whole food" vitamin C which is Mickey Mouse terminology. I was one of MANY people promoting these ideas and for the past year I have been doing everything possible in my power to tear these ideas apart.

When the homesteading gets heavy I defer Friday's show to a "Best Of" episode. This was one of my favorite conversations that i've had about water with Anton Fedorenko of Infopathy. There are so many different water structuring devices on the market but this one is in a league of its own. What I love about it is we are actually radiating the water with "non native" EMFs but actually improving its health qualities. This is why I don't like to look at anything in health in black and white anymore, ie iron bad, vitamin b6 bad, vitamin D3 bad...
This is how it works: Every substance has specific electromagnetic emission that can be recorded and played back into water. This is called "imprinting" infoceuticals and is the basis for the Infopathy technology. Of course, the foundation should be clean drinking water free of all contaminants, acids and properly mineralized. After that, there is a lot you can do to water, one of the coolest things being Infopathy's glowing IC pad device. In this interview Anton Fedorenko shares the deep science behind it and gives practical advice to those that buy bottled water at the store to make it healthier.

There are so many electromagnetic field protection devices to choose from. Some block EMFs, some "harmonize" EMFs, some "depolarize" EMFs, and then theres Blushield in a league of its own that does none of that. For about 6 years now I've been promoting Blushield as my favorite device in that category because of the experience I've had with the technology.
In this episode I have Brandon Amalani back on the show, this time to share the results of his independent review board certified pilot study. The 12 week study used their Premium ultra and mobile units and showed improvements in cognitive function, voltage gated calcium channel function, voltage gated potassium channel function, sleep quality, heart rate variability, blood glucose reduction and immune markers.
We also talk about why we both love the TheraPhi device, grounding, cold lasers, pyramid energy, some of his Shen Blossom products, how I use my Apple watch, electric vehicles, if scalar energy is bad energy, and much more.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. According to Dr Scott Sherr, dopamine and norepinephrine get too much credit when the real stars of the show that make up 80% of our brain's neurotransmission are GABA and glutamate.
COO of @Troscriptions Dr Scott talks about the ingredients found in TroCalm and their new sleep formula TroZZZ and how they both support GABA production. He says why regular GABA supplements don't work, common symptoms of GABA deficiency, the effect of alcohol and benzos on GABA, why they added an extract from the Amanita Muscaria mushroom into their sleep formula, why he believes gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is wrongly demonized, potential causes for restless leg syndrome, and the health benefits of supplementing honokiol, cordycepin and adenosine.

There is a lot of information floating around on the internet about water filtration. Some say that distillation is the holy grail, for some its "raw" spring water, and others say it is "alkalized" electron rich water.
What we want is acid free, contaminant free, and properly mineralized water. Everything else (rose quartz infused, vortexed, energetic retrainment) ALWAYS comes secondary to that. Distilled water does not remove all impurities and leaves the volatile acids in your product water. The $3,000 alkalized multi level marketing water is not even a water filter. You can spend $60 on a bottle of hydrogen tablets and achieve the same thing for 50 times less cost. Unfiltered spring water usually contains corrosive acids that can completely eliminate fish populations from a body of water but they're supposedly safe for humans to consume.
In this episode I talk about the most important things to look for when purchasing a water filter and some encouragement for those that say they can't afford one. I answer listener questions including: thoughts on sole water, thoughts on kangen water, vortexing versus analemma, how to keep "the good stuff" in spring water, mountain valley water, main analytes to request in a water test, and more.

One of the most demonized foods in the natural health world is legumes. We hear that the anti nutrients in them are going to prevent absorption of nutrients and they will cause gas and bloating so they are not worth eating. What isn't talked about is the benefits of soluble fiber as it relates to bile and hormone and toxin removal.
Karen Hurd helped her daughter recover after she was incapacitated from organophosphates in an insecticide spray. She says that beans were the ticket to restoring her health. She has a Masters of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Saint Joseph and now educates on the many benefits of beans and soluble fiber.
In this interview she talks about why anti-nutrients aren't a big deal, the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber, what percentage of fat soluble waste and hormones get recycled if we don't eat soluble fiber throughout the day, how beans can alleviate a panic attack, who should consume fat with their beans, her views on good fats vs bad fats, cortisol reduction using beans, why she doesn't like cold plunges, why she believes most people have too much stomach acid vs too little, how beans can help alleviate heartburn, beans for acne, and much more.

Many practitioners tell people to never supplement vitamin D. This was my belief system for several years because on the surface it made sense. When I dug deeper I found that there is something called a "biphasic dose response curve". That is a fancy way of saying: Take too much or too little and either way will increase calcification of soft tissues (Drueke, et al 2012).
Dr Tyler Panzner has a PhD in Mollecular and Cellular Pharmacology and looks at nutritional supplementation through a genetic mutations lens. In this episode he gives a brief explanation of how genetics works, how he was deficient in vitamin D on the beach in the middle of summer, why he believes vitamin D signaling is more important than blood levels, what he thinks about lab reference ranges, an alternative vitamin D supplement to cholecalciferol that he thinks works better, and some of the genetic mutations to look for if you suspect you are deficient.
He also talks about why he thinks NAC supplements are overrated, the demonization of melatonin supplements, borage oil, and gives a mini consultation looking at my genetic mutations with B12 and how supplementing lithium can help mitigate them.

You may have heard that you are a "slow" or "fast" oxidizer of caffeine which determines how you respond to coffee and caffeine. Until now I never understood what it is we're after when we consume caffeine: is it energy or is it paraxanthine?
Shawn Wells, author of the Energy Formula and cofounder of Enfinity, breaks down the metabolite that is behind all of the health benefits of caffeine. Paraxanthine is still a stimulant but its effects are smoother than caffeine, especially for us slow metabolizers, which according to one study is nearly 60% of us. He shares the current research on this fascinating alkaloid up to this point and I share my experience drinking the Update energy drink as a coffee replacement.

Over 500 years ago Paracelsus, a Swiss physician and alchemist, wondered if diseases could be alleviated using lodestones, natural earth magnets. In 1898 Nikola Tesla published a paper stating that one of the early observed and remarkable features of pulsed magnetism was its apparent harmlessness. Ten to one hundred thousand volts was passed through three feet wide coils to treat the body without contact. Since then, Georges Lakhovsky, Antoine Prioere, Robert Becker and Abraham Liboff built on these ideas and utilized magnetism to heal the body.
Brandon Amalani looked at all of the available PEMF technology on the market and noticed that they were not nature-based. They use semiconductors which negatively affect the integrity of the magnetic field. He asked, “How do I make lightning in a box?” Enter, the ARC: Advanced Resonance Charge.
Utilizing an old school spark plasma generated magnetic field, it allows all of the trillions of cells to resonate at their own frequency. Having used one of the most popular solid state PEMF devices on the market for a few years, I can speak to the massive difference in using analog technology that is more biologically compatible.

Fluoroquinolones such as Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox are antibiotics commonly used to treat or prevent serious bacterial infections such as sinusitis, bronchitis and urinary tract infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control statistics, American doctors wrote nearly 30 million fluoroquinolone antibiotic prescriptions in 2016.
A 2016 FDA safety review stated that fluoroquinolones are associated with disabling and potentially permanent serious side effects that can occur together. These side effects can involve the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system. Fluoroquinolone toxicity can cause severe mitochondrial damage in the body. This condition is commonly misdiagnosed as lymes, MS, arthritis, fibromyalgia among others.
Kiley Woodland is a singer songwriter and recording artist and was opening for KISS with her band shortly before she was given cipro, one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics, which ended up causing such severe debilitating side effects it put her in a wheelchair.
Kiley has since started sharing her journey to educate others on the dark side of fluoroquinolone antibiotics that often no one is told about. In this episode she talks about how fluoroquinolones harm the cells, the "fluoroquinolone bomb going off", where genetics and nutrient deficiencies play in to a recovery plan, and the two most important minerals that are chelated out with fluoroquinolone toxicity.

Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a species of microalgae that was discovered in 1897. Recent preclinical trials have shown that it supports cognitive performance, slows memory loss and reduces oxidative stress in the brain.
This episode is a first in that it coincides with the release of a new Mitolife product called Encephalon, a combination of this algae extract with Gingko biloba and phosphatidylserine (PS). Gingko and PS have been proven in clinical studies to potentiate each others effects. I figured why not amp it up with this really unique algae rich in fucoxanthin?
Vincent Usache, CEO of MicroPhyt, joins us from France to talk about this algae and its "main active ingredient" called fucoxanthin. We focus the discussion on how it can help prevent lipid peroxidation, calcification, and fibrosis and provide overall brain support in times of increased stress.

The idea that nobody is iron deficient and everyone is iron dysregulated has gone mainstream the past couple of years. The theory is that even though your ferritin level is single digits you have plenty of iron, its just stored deep in your tissues where blood tests don't measure. What if there is another side to the story?
Caitlyn Hartigan, founder of the Iron Protocol, joins us again to talk about iron deficiency and all of the myths surrounding it. She often says that iron overload experts do not understand iron deficiency. We talk about the iron recycling system, iron's cofactors, iron infusions, vitamin D, how ferritin can be an antioxidant, and the relationship between iron and pathogens.

Whenever we experience trauma there is always a color associated with it. Black is a father trauma and grey is a mother trauma. Different colors are associated with different elements. Turqoise is connected to chromium, mercury, nickel, niobium, tantalum and zinc. Atom Bergstrom, author of Color Recycling: A Prismer of the Hues and Whos, explains all of that and more... including what colors to wear on different day and if it matters which article of clothing matches with the day.

According to Dr Christy Sutton there is a silent epidemic of hemochromatosis. Increased iron absorption was an adaptation to olden times when we often spilled blood in battle and underwent famines. In this episode she talks about the two main gene mutations that cause it and how to find out if you're at risk. Her new course called The Iron Curse does a deep dive into iron related health issues including hemochromatosis, iron overload, anemia, and anemia of inflammation.

What do you get when you topically apply essential amino acids, magnesium chloride, vitamin C powder, micronized zeolite, niacinamide form of vitamin B3, vitamin E, boron, eucalyptus oil, and carbon dioxide? According to David and William Khaziri with Bathing Evolved, you get "the perfect bath".
They have been sounding the alarm about obesogens, chemicals that disrupt hormonal regulation and signal the body to store fat. They are present abundantly in most bath products on the market.
I've been friends with the founders of this company for several years. When they first told me about the concept I was skeptical and didn't think it would work. Boy, was I wrong! The first "perfect bath" had me so energized that I had trouble falling asleep that night.

The first podcast I ever recorded was with David Milburn of Hypoallergenic Air to talk about air quality. Because the show was posted several years ago, many people haven't heard it.
They use nature inspired technologies to filter indoor air. According to the EPA, indoor air quality has 2 to 5 times the pollutants of outdoor air. I love that they provide whole home solutions such as their Bipolar unit that works with a buildings HVAC system. Whether you want to invest in some units for your home or just get some free tips to maximize the quality of the air you breathe, there is something for everyone in this episode.

For the past three years I have lived in the deep forest insulated from society. When everyone around the entire world was wearing muzzles on their face, life remained normal in northern Idaho.
I recently moved back to southern California. The main reason was to be closer to my family because I don't miss birthdays and rarely miss holidays. I was tired of flying in planes every few months and getting touched in sensitive areas by the TSA so often. My decision to move was solidified when I was stranded after Christmas and at the mercy of airline companies and rental car agencies.
There are some things that I already miss, like military vets standing guard downtown with their AR-15s when Antifa was doing their Pacific Northwest tour, and not hearing any noise pollution for days on end. But living completely off grid like I was wasn't everything the social media meme maker idealists make it out to be. Listening to a generator roaring for six months out of the year when there is no sun is major noise pollution. I would estimate that 50% of my time and energy last year was tied up not with researching health topics like I would've liked, but in troubleshooting broken generators and unsticking stuck big rig machines from my land.
In this episode I break down what real spiritual development means to me, my current projects that I'm focusing on in my new home, and answer listener questions including what I would do if I had a benign head tumor, what makes my water filter different from the rest, my top 5 supplements, and more.

“By the refining of Peat-Fiber it would be possible to free the bound elemental beings therein, and these elemental beings would then out of gratitude protect people from what was imminent in the near future, namely that the atmosphere would be so permeated by electricity, magnetic fields, aircraft and much worse, that for the people life on earth would be a torment. But textiles and garments made from Peat-Fibers could protect humans from these influences“. - Rudolph Steiner
Patrick Steensma took the information shared by Rudolph Steiner and made products out of it, including peat fiber comforters, mattress toppers, and even vests to protect your energy while you are away from home. He touches on the physical benefits of being in close proximity to peat fiber, but mostly focuses on the energetic aspects. Get ready because this episode gets weird!

Ketone bodies are produced by the liver and used as an energy source when glucose is not readily available. They have been shown to protect neurons from oxidative stress and excitotoxicity, potentially improving brain health and function in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, or traumatic brain injury.
Dr Latt Mansor from HVMN breaks down the history of ketones, the difference between utilizing glucose and ketones to fuel our cells, his thoughts on hard ketones and ketone esters, why he prefers pure 1,3 butanediol to other ketone products, how to use exogenous ketones strategically to improve performance, and whether taking exogenous ketones shuts down ones ability to burn our own body fat.

In my first episode with Eric Laarakker and Mario Brainovic and Mario of Analemma they described what coherent water is and its effects on biology. In this second talk with them they expand on that idea and talk about new research studies that they conducted using their water. One study showed a staggering 27% increase in ATP in two months of drinking the coherent water, another study showed increased bacterial activity in the soil of cherry tomato plants, and another showed 17% improvement in gut dysbiosis in three months.
They introduce their whole house device and touch on the topical benefits of coherent water. We also talk about growing in a greenhouse versus outdoors, electroculture, whether EMF blocking is a good idea, the GlycanAge study, how best to charge the Analemma portable device, and why its just as important to remove the energetic contaminants as the physical contaminants.

For the past three years I have embarked on a pursuit of nutritional balance with regards to macronutrients and eating frequency. While it made sense in theory it did not translate to sustainable benefit for my health longterm. It was pretty much in line with the FDA's nutritional recommendations with slightly more protein intake.
After experiencing memory loss and some other symptoms I decided to invest in a continous blood glucose monitor. I was shocked by what it showed me. I was essentially prediabetic. My current theory is that I was eating way too many carbohydrates, even though I was matching it with protein. I also gained a substantial amount of body fat, even though I was moving more.
In this episode I share my thoughts on two myths about the ketogenic diet: Does it harm our thyroid gland? Does it increase cortisol? I also outline the shocking diet that pro metabolic powerhouse Dr Broda Barnes recommended. I share three tips that have helped me to transition my mitochondria to burn fat instead of sugar.

Prior to 2022, I was convinced that certain supplements were toxic. The arguments against essential elements like zinc, ascorbic acid, and iron can be so intricate and convincing that it leads us off the path of a grounded approach to human health. In this final episode of the year I give a recap of the things that I changed my mind about and why. My breakthrough in understanding was also a breakthrough in fear. The word "toxic" has been trending for awhile and it is usually attached to supplements for a myriad of reasons. Now I feel at peace that I can walk into the supplement section at a health food store and see all of them as tools that can be used in different scenarios for different people. I also talk about cancel culture and an exercise that people can do to be less emotionally reactive and harder to manipulate.
I look forward to changing my mind on many things once again in 2023 and I hope that you'll join me for the ride.

There is a very popular belief that has been circulating for about a decade that vitamin C is a complex found in whole foods and that ascorbic acid is only a fraction of that complex and thus, ineffective and even harmful.
In this solo show I tackle the two most common arguments supporting that view including: 1) does ascorbic acid negatively affect tyrosinase, and 2) does ascorbic acid negatively affect ceruloplasmin?
Vitamin C pioneers Linus Pauling and Dr Hugh Riordin of the Riordin Clinic did not use a "whole food vitamin C complex" - they used ascorbic acid. Make sure to read the show notes to catch all of the clinical studies that I linked supporting the safety of supplemental ascorbic acid.

Is anemia and iron deficiency the same thing? Can you have a normal hemoglobin level and be iron deficient? Does iron deficiency actually exist or does everyone have iron recycling issues? Is ferritin an accurate marker to tell if you're deficient? How do we interpret the lab markers serum iron, ferritin and transferrin?
Which nutrients and supplements interfere and enhance heme and non-heme iron absorption? What are the cofactors for iron? Can you have the gene mutation for hereditary hemochromatosis and still be iron deficient?
Caitlyn Hartigan, creator of The Iron Protocol, is an iron deficiency expert. In this episode she talks about iron deficiency and why it is a real problem that often requires supplementation or transfusions. She shares her journey of healing from iron deficiency, factors that cause iron deficiency in both men and women, and why anemia and iron deficiency are two different things.

Have you ever met someone that consumes a ton of seed oils, GMOs, processed foods, tap water, and yet still looks good on the outside and has a relatively well functioning brain?
You probably met a genetic mutant!
Joe Cohen, creator of @selfdecode, says that he won the genetic lottery for bad genes. He tried biohacking his way to a better physique and mood, but nothing worked, until he started eating and supplementing according to his individual genetic mutations. That is when he made progress with his health.
In this interview we talk about vitamin D, the importance of goal setting in biohacking, lab markers that I’m working on improving, heart rate variability, resistant starch, saturated fat, his thoughts about seed oils, how to lower LDL cholesterol, and much more.

What if you could wave a wand around and change the state of your water? That sounds like hocus pocus, but that is exactly what the people at Analemma Water have done. Through a proprietary process that involves lightning strikes and geometric forms they created something called "mother water" that is contained within a quartz tube. When that interacts with other water it doubles the biophoton emission.
Dr Eric Laarakker says that their end goal is to make all of the water on earth coherant again. I ask them about vortexing water, what makes water incoherant, faraday cages, grounding, why to put the analemma in the sun, deuterium depleted water, and their upcoming whole house system.

Is cod liver oil (CLO) the same as fish oil? Do the polyunsaturated fatty acids in it suppress your thyroid? What is the role of retinol in the body? Does vitamin A protect against lipid peroxidation in cell membranes? What are the role of fat soluble vitamins in the body?
In this solo show I answer all of these questions and more. I talk about why it took two years for Morley Robbins beating the retinol drum on my podcast to convince me to try it. In a world of “you’re anemic, copper toxic and vitamin A toxic”, it takes a lot of unlearning to get to the truth.
The truth is retinol is a critical nutrient that you can be deficient in even if you’re eating grassfed beef liver everyday. Retinol is an electron carrier and a master antioxidant. Cod liver oil contains A and D in the perfect ratio in addition to compounds that probably haven’t been discovered yet.
While retinol seems to be the star of CLO, I suspect that it is a synergy of nutrients that gives the full effect. I share my experience of starting to take it this year in the middle of winter and how it affected my tolerance to cold temperatures. It is a powerful whole food supplement as long as it is not fortified or fermented.

Retinol, or vitamin A, is a fat soluble vitamin only found in animal foods in significant amounts. In this interview mineral researcher Morley Robbins breaks down the critical importance of this nutrient for regulating iron recycling, decreasing inflammation, gene transcription, protecting from cancer, and loading copper into the ceruloplasmin protein that expresses the master antioxidant called ferroxidase.
He shares some fascinating and somewhat depressing information about our current food system, even grass-fed and organic, and the difference between marine and land sources of retinol. We talk quite a bit about cod liver oil and why I changed my mind on it.
Morley's approach is unique because its nuanced and focuses on relationships between vitamins, minerals and enzymes, instead of looking at any one of them in insolation like is often done in the alternative health community. His Root Cause Protocol offers a list of "stops" and "starts" that are a great foundation and starting point to improve your health.

According to Atom Bergstrom, you are not only what you eat, but WHEN you eat. He is anti intermittent fasting so he's not talking about eating windows, but the kinds of food that you eat in the morning, afternoon and evening.
The basic idea is tree foods in the morning, bush foods in the afternoon, and roots at night. Certain foods like eggs are neutral and can be eaten anytime while potatoes are best eaten at night for maximum absorption.
In this show he talks about how Yemenese coffee is the only bush coffee (midday), his favorite anti-parasitic protocol, why he doesn't recommend fasting, when you should break the solar timing rules, the healing power of oranges, why to put the crystal lepidolite in your water, wearing different colors on different days, which two fruits can be eaten at nighttime, and more!

Every drop of water that you drink is not always H2O; sometimes it is D2O. There are three isotopes of hydrogen: protium, deuterium and tritium. One glass of water has on average 6 drops of D2O (deuterium), which doesn't sound like a lot, but over several years it adds up and impairs the ATPase of the mitochondria.
Robert Slovak and Victor Sagalovsky are the founders of a company called Litewater. They offer deuterium depleted water that is the lowest parts per million of any available, which makes it the most affordable to use for a deuterium depletion strategy.
They describe the exact mechanisms how deuterium impairs mitochondrial energy production, quantum tunneling, and decreases oxygen utilization. They answer questions from listeners including: thoughts on primary water, kangen water, freezing water at home to make your own DDW and the synergy between DDW and molecular hydrogen tablets.

I find it fascinating that methylene blue can act as both a nootropic and an anti-pathogenic substance. If you're having trouble sourcing high quality methylene blue in these times check out Troscriptions buccal troches. I love using all three of their products in different situations.

What is the function of the vitamin D receptor (VDR)? How does it interplay with the retinoid receptor (RXR)? What happens to your thyroid function when you supplement D3 and drive up your 1,25D levels? Can supplementing D3 drive the development of osteoporosis? Why does the half-life of 25D and 1,25D matter? Why do you never hear the word "heterodimerization" in vitamin D smurf talk? What is a dimer?
Vitamin D researcher Jim Stephenson Jr shares his research and dot connections about hormone D supplementing and the effects that it has to cause imbalance in our body. He challenges listeners to dig deeper beyond two or three molecules and to realize the complexity of secosteroid hormone D.
We go down the list point-by-point of a popular pro vitamin D3 article written by researcher Danny Roddy with the goal of bringing clarity to the discussion. We cover oral versus topical administration of D3 and explore the question: how would a substrate lower one of the potentials that it can become?

In this episode engineer Andrew LaTour breaks through many myths perpetuated by the red light therapy industry, including:
Are the two best wavelengths 660 and 850 nanometers? Do you have to spend more money to get a better quality product? Do you need full body coverage to get a full body effect? Do you have to be six inches away from the light? Are all ambient LED lights harmful? Is it better to get a panel thats FDA approved?
He also answers some Q&A questions at the end: Can red light help with acne and stretch marks? Do you need to protect your eyes? Is it better to use it in the morning or evening? Should you be in a dark room while you're using red light? Is there such a thing as too much? What effect does red light have on plants?
Andrew is the founder of an affordable red light therapy company called GembaRed. He carries everything from night lights that won't disrupt your circadian rhythm when you go to the bathroom at night to red light office desk lamps to panels for photobiomodulation purposes.
The world's leading mineral expert Morley Robbins returns to the show to announce the release of his new book, "Cure Your Fatigue". Morley is the creator of the Root Cause Protocol and a master dot connector when it comes to mineral balance. He often says that there are 84 minerals but only 3 that really matter: copper, magnesium and iron.
In this interview he gives a brief summary of the book, the 3 things that mitochondria have to do, the connection of red and blue light to mitochondrial function, and the places of the brain with the highest concentration of copper.

Ozone therapy is in a class called oxidative therapies. It often gets lumped into the same category as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hydrogen peroxide, and even chlorine dioxin (MMS). In reality ozone is much safer than all of those. As Charles Barber of Crucial Four expands on in this episode, it isn't the ozone that does the work - it is the ozonides that circulate in the body for weeks or months.
They have the unique ability to increase the amount of oxygen that our mitochondria can use. One of the mechanisms is that ozonides stimulate an enzyme called diphosphoglycerate, enabling the release of oxygen from hemoglobin.
The implications for this type of therapy are endless and the best part is that after the initial investment of a generator and an oxygen tank, it can be done for pennies everyday.
Charles has been using ozone therapy for over 15 years and in this episode he busts a lot of ozone myths, dives deep into the science of how ozone actually works in the body and explains why you don't want to buy an ozone generator built from Chinese parts.

Want to feel more focused? More calm? More confident? Want to alter your perception of the "stuff" in your life? Want to manage stress better? Want to experience greater resiliency? These are all things that dynamic neurofeedback brain training can provide.
Dr Valdeane Brown cofounded the Zengar Institute and over the course of two decades developed a technology called NeurOptimal. Instead of pushing the brain in a certain direction, it takes a different approach by letting the brain choose where it wants to go to smooth out inefficiencies and sub-optimal functioning.
In this interview Valdeane shares his perspectives about trauma, emotional healing, neurotechnology, and what makes NeurOptimal different from every other brain training system.

Did you know that there are multiple different types of non-native electromagnetic fields (EMF)? Dirty electricity is one of the lesser known types which was discovered by Dave Stetzer and Martin Graham. It is extra energy that is created from power lines, electronics and even the wiring in your walls. It decreases milk production in cows, changes the pH of the saliva, affects blood sugar and changes the rhythm of the heart beat.
The science is complex, but the effects on human health are well established and proven. Could this be a part of the reason why some people "don't feel good on sugar"? Could it be a contributing factor to not only our mood but chronic disease?

Minerals, like enzymes, are a foundational part of human health. Without minerals, the spark plugs of life called enzymes cannot function. Due to acid rain, toxic fertilizer and tap water, our food supply is not what it used to be. As a result, nearly everyone on the globe has copper disfunction, iron overload and severe magnesium deficiency. In this interview Morley Robbins educates us about those elements and their role in our body.
We also talk about solutions such as blood donation, whole food vitamin C and beef liver.

When you research the harms of electromagnetic frequencies in the alternative health sphere you're likely to come across the word "quantum" quite a bit. Unsubstantiated claims are made about pendants, stickers and pyramids that are supposed to "harmonize" or quantumly change the fields into something beneficial. But is it all just marketing and placebo effect?

It seems that many people have been dealing with chronic infections even before the current world events. Lyme, Epstein Barr, and chronic allergies are common ailments.
Is the solution regulating your blood sugar? Lowering iron overload? Lowering PUFA intake? Focusing on mineral balance? Reducing stress in your life? What if you've been doing all of that for several years and the needle still isn't moving? This is where treatments like LDI (low dose immunotherapy) may be helpful.
Dr Nicholas Baboulas is a Naturopathic doctor that runs a clinic in Toronto, Canada. One of the many therapies that he utilizes is LDI and the success stories he has about it are almost unbelievable. It has been used to help autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, allergies and more.

Technically not a mushroom, the parasitic fungus Inonotus obliquus, commonly called Chaga, is a nutritional powerhouse and pure kryptonite to tumors. Chaga will invade the birch tree and decay the heartwood for up to 80 years. During that time it generates a plethora of medicinal compounds including inotodiol, beta sitosterol, polyphenols, terpenes, melanin and vanilic acid.
Unlike cheap fungus products on the market that are found at your health food store, Arctic Chaga produces quality product that isn’t cut with starch. You can feel it from your first sip.
Dennard Hegna provides wild chaga from the harsh Alaskan wilderness. The 60 below temperatures amplify the chaga’s expression of nutritional compounds that can then be transferred to a human being.

Phrases like “no pain, no gain” and “eat less and exercise more” are the mainstream alternative messaging that is pushed. That way of living creates a state of chronic stress at the cellular level and eventually leads to burnout and disease.
Jay Feldman shares his thoughts about hormesis and why what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker. He explains the nitty gritty details of how our body harnesses the energy from food, the stress hormones involved in burning fat, and what actually impairs sugar metabolism.
He also gives a crash course in endotoxin: why most people have it and how to lower it. We talk about fiber, PUFA detox, fat loss, longevity, and diabetes.

Endometriosis is a disease condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus, the endometrium, grows outside of the uterus. It is a painful condition that is very common in a world of rampant birth control usage and a high intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Kori Meloy found a naturopath that helped her heal from it and now she helps women come back into balance from the condition. In this interview Kori talks about what birth control pill did to her, how estrogen dominance plays into it, and what she did to heal.

The thyroid is the master gland and if thyroid physiology is thrown off then the rest of the body is thrown off as well. This is the foundation that Keith Littlewood builds upon in his research of environmental pollutants and their harmful effects on human health.
Inhalation, absorption and ingestion are the three routes through which harmful compounds enter our body. They disrupt thyroid hormone transport, alter your digestive system, throw off your hormones, and destabilize the entire system towards chaos.
Keith shares what to look out for and the tools that he likes to bring the physiological symphony back into coherence.

In this solo episode I share my mistakes and what i've learned from them in two years of homesteading. My research over the past 15 years has lead me to the fact that our entire infrastructure is built on a house of cards that can topple over at any moment. We recently saw what happened in Texas and how the powers-that-shouldn't-be handled that situation.
Stocking plastic water bottles in the garage isn't enough for me. I prefer to have a five, ten and 20 year plan if supply chains were cut off. I'm focused in on abundant clean air, food, and water and having the ability to raise a strong family without much reliance on the system.
Mariah and I jumped into homesteading with the mindset that we will learn through experience. Reading homesteading books can be useful but we learn the fastest through making mistakes. When it comes to animal husbandry, like human health, the details really matter. Having access to the right tools can make it a lot easier.
In this episode I focus mostly on milking goats and chickens and what I wish someone would have told me when I got started.

When people think about vitamin D many things immediately come to mind: It's the immune molecule. Most people are low in it. Even if you're getting sunlight you're still low in it. You have to supplement it in the winter. Low D is why people get the flu... and so on. What if all of this is factually incorrect?
Jim Stephenson Jr is an expert researcher on Secosteroid Hormone D, commonly called Vitamin D. In this episode he breaks down many of the myths that people believe about it, why testing is inaccurate, how vitamin D OVERLOAD is linked to autoimmune disease, and what we should really be focusing on.

A ten year journey with lyme disease that left her unable to walk or finish a sentence led Maddy Rae Cooper to SOT: Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy. That was the silver bullet that knocked it out for her. She also healed from anti-depressant and birth control using nutrition and supplementation.
Maddy shares her thoughts on the Germ versus Terrain Theory in the context of Lyme disease and how spirochetes work like a virus. I ask her questions from listeners in the second half of the show that include:
-best precautions to take when hiking amongst ticks
-
can I safely live with a copper IUD?
-
is Lyme related to emotional trauma?
-
if pathogens are helpful why can they cause severe/permanent damage to the host?
-

Do you want a bicycle? How about a motorbike? An electric motorcycle? An off-road truck? How about a sports car? Morley Robbins used this analogy when talking about the many expressions of ceruloplasmin, active copper.
Getting to the root cause of our chronic health issues is found in mineral balancing. In this interview mineral expert Morley Robbins talks about retinol, hormone D (vitamin D), copper, mitochondria and why we need to replace copper everyday as it is used up. He makes the important distinction between "copper dependent" and "copper driven".

In 1954 John C. Lilly created the world’s first floatation tank, an enclosed salt bath for the purpose of studying human consciousness. The research was pretty wild and involved psychedelics and dolphins.
Since then float tank spas have sprouted up all around the world. “Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy”, or REST, has a multitude of benefits: decreased anxiety and depression, increased brain connectivity, increased mental clarity and memory, improved circulation, increased athletic performance, and even spontaneous emotional healing.
I’m really glad that I met Max Casa of Serenity Floats. He has studied the float tank scene for years and has designed effective float tanks for home use if one wishes to implement this powerful therapy into their daily routine. Use the discount code BLACKBURN to get $3K off of your tank price.

Life seems to be governed by a bunch of cycles with peaks and troughs. You may be familiar with the circadian rhythm: our sleep/wake cycle that is governed largely by the timing of light exposure. But have you heard of your physical, intellectual and emotional cycle?
The theory was developed by Wilhelm Fleiss in the late 19th century and gained popularity in the 1970s. Since then the idea of biorhythms has sustained an array of hit pieces questioning its validity and calling it a pseudoscience. Could it be that tools, especially free tools, that we can use to empower ourselves are suppressed and talked down upon?
Tiffany Barsotti received her Master's of Theology in Energy Medicine and has integrated biorhythms into her practice with clients in combination with biofield readings. In this interview she describes what biorhythms are, the three different cycles, what the criss-crosses mean, and how we can use them to improve our lives.

The first documented use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, was in 1662. It didn’t gain traction until the 1930s when the US Navy began using it to treat scuba divers with decompression sickness (the bends).
Since then, there have been over 800 clinical studies conducted on the therapy, with benefits ranging from treatment of chronic wounds, infections, mold exposure, autism, traumatic brain injury, stroke, diabetes, and more.
Dr. Scott Sherr is an integrative medicine practitioner that has been studying HBOT for over a decade. He utilizes HBOT, methylene blue and other modalities in his practice to help bring people back into balance and improve their quality of life.
In this interview he talks about neuroplasticity, hypoxic inducible factor, EZ water, mitochondria and oxygen overall as it works in the body. He also clears up a lot of the misconceptions about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

When you heal on a specific program it is easy to get stuck on one paradigm and become rigid in the way that you live your life. Health is a lot more than nutrition, so rigidity can breed disease and imbalances.
Kourtney Simmang healed herself from migraines, ADD, PCOS, Hashimotos, Epstein bar, and more using a metabolically supporting approach to health and not restricting macronutrients. Whats more impressive, having come out the other side, she maintains a balanced approach and doesn't mind bending the rules every once in awhile.

A lot of people are eating predominantly unstable polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) instead of stable saturated fatty acids. Most people are consuming PUFAs orally and slathering PUFAs all over their skin! PUFAs are long chain molecules that contain multiple double bonds. They are very prone to oxidation by heat, light and oxygen. What happens when someone applies PUFA-laden products to their face and then goes out in sunlight? They oxidize and contribute to accelerated aging of the skin! They also speed up the formation of lipofuscin or age spots. Stephanie started a skincare company called Kossma with all of this in mind. She created products that not only aren't harmful but help to reverse damage that's already been done by PUFAs. In this interview she explains the different skin types, the truth about parabens, why to use caution with essential oils, and more.

In the final episode of the year I get vulnerable and share my thoughts about spirituality and specifically Christianity. Late last year an unexpected series of events led me down a rabbit hole of researching religious trauma, purity culture, the physiological harm that guilt and shame causes, the danger of anticipating an end-of-the-world scenario, and a final judgment.
Similar to going from raw veganism to raw primal, many people are going from new age straight to orthodox christianity. I believe that happened to me and many others. There are psychologists such as Dr Darrel Ray that work with people specifically to heal from religious trauma that was literally stressing them to death.
As I mentioned in the title, I still love Jesus, but I’m questioning the dogmatic views that people cling to and use to attack others that don’t believe the same things. Divide and conquer has always been the game to keep humanity enslaved. Religion is a great tool to use for that because people police each other and hold each other down and prevent healing and growth.
I no longer believe in original sin and that from our first breath we were born imperfect. In the show I talk about the book that I’m reading that gives an alternative take on the garden of eden Genesis story and what it was all about. I am not flawed and I feel no guilt for being alive and breathing.

What is the most primordial and ancient battle occurring on planet earth? It is the fight between iron and copper for oxygen. It is interesting that blue wavelength light correlates with the frequency of iron and red light correlates with the frequency of copper. We live in a artificial blue lit world and everyone has iron overload from the food and water. Everyones sick... go figure?
In this interview, the legendary mineral expert Morley Robbins returns to illuminate the relationship between mineral imbalance and disease. We focus specifically on lipofuscin, which is a melted-plastic material made up of polyunsaturated fat breakdown products, aluminum, iron and estrogen.
While we have slightly different views about should be focused on to pull out the rug from under lipofuscinosis, we agree that iron should be targeted. You target iron by focusing on consuming bioavailable copper and avoiding supplements and ingredients that hemorrhage your active copper: ceruloplasmin.

Where did we come from? Do you believe in the Big Bang? How old do you believe the Earth is? Was Adam & Eve just a fairytale? Was Charles Darwin accurate with his research? Is there physical evidence for Biblical events like the Great Flood?
Learn about all of this and more in this episode of Mitolife Radio with Raw Matt. Although this is a nutrition podcast, I believe that spirituality and nutrition are permanently linked.

Do you know how cyanide kills you? It’s by turning off a key respiratory protein called cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria. Without that your cells cannot utilize oxygen and they shut down.
The same process has been happening in you for your entire life! Calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis rob our cells of oxygen. Whether it’s the thyroid, liver, pancreas, heart, brain, pituitary, or hippocampus, wherever these three build-ups occur, cellular function and thus tissue function is dramatically impaired.
In this episode I talk about the three accumulations: how we got them and what my solutions are. I believe that this is the root cause of most disease.

Sally Fallon was one of the people that founded the Weston A Price Foundation in 1999, a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing information about the healing power of animal foods. A dentist from Cleveland, Ohio, named Weston Price, was the inspiration for the WAPF to form.
He authored a book called "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" where he documented various indigenous cultures worldwide that had perfect dentition and skeletal structure. He credited their overall robustness to their natural diets. Raw dairy, bone broths, organ meats, fruits, vegetables, and whole foods were what supported their vital health.
In this interview Sally speaks on the importance of animal foods in the diet. I also ask her questions from a Q&A.

What are the long term, and short term, effects of supplementing hormone (vitamin) D? Have you ever heard of 1,25(OH)2D otherwise known as 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D? That is the active form and more important than the storage form that you supplement.

Geoff Lawton is a world renowned permaculture educator. He was taught by Bill Mollison, “the father of permaculture”, in 1983. He has educated over 15,000 students in the ways of permaculture.
I found out about Geoff while researching the harms of NPK fertilizer that’s being used to grow our food. In this interview we talk about the effects of NPK fertilizer on the soil, how acid rain makes heavy metals more available, organic versus inorganic minerals, and Geoff shares his philosophy about how life works.
I have worked many different jobs in my life, one of the most interesting being a medicinal cannabis delivery driver. I never regret working all of my odd-jobs because they each taught me a lot about human nature. People are desperate for a cure-all substance. In this case, it was Rick Simpson oil (RSO). I remember delivering an order to a cancer patient that ordered over $2,000 worth. While I know that has benefits, I believe that it is absolutely useless if the person is bathing in and drinking tap water and eating NPK fertilizer tap-water grown produce.
I have seen people get swept up in fear and hysteria, similar to the current corona situation. At that point, all logic and rational thought goes out the window. They don't think about the LED lights hitting their eyes and skin all day contributing to their cancer, or the countless toxic chemicals and hard minerals in their drinking water, or the non-native EMF they're energetically bathing in 24/7, or the cancer-causing omega-3 supplement that they're taking everyday.
In this solo episode I go down the list of what I would do if I had cancer. I talk about light, water, non-native EMF, food, air quality, iron overload, omega-3, copper, magnesium, shilajit, vitamin E, vitamin K2-7, molecular hydrogen and more. One thing that I forgot to mention is methylene blue, which has a tremendous beneficial effect on the mitochondria. Enjoy!

"America is either over or there is going to be a profound revival" says Paul Risse. In this nearly three hour candid interview, we talk about the turmoil in America and what we believe the solution is: Jesus Christ.
In the second half we answer an extensive Q&A with questions like "Are we close to the end times?", "If one doesn't know the Bible are they damned to hell?", and "Why is Jesus the only path to God?".
I believe that the world is being run by satanists that have infiltrated every aspect of society. I believe that satan is real and his biggest target is the Holy Bible. I believe that we can't fight evil with white magick or shifting parallel realities; we need to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is our savior to fight evil. We can only fight when we're protected by the armor of God.
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" Ephesians 6:17

Drinking water is a subject that is heavily debated in the health community. While its a given to not drink tap water, many people promote multi-level-marketing alkaline ionizers or simple countertop gravity filters as a solution. To understand the solution we must understand the problem. One big problem that's not talked about enough is that acid rain liberates iron from the earth in excessive amounts into our aquifers. Spring and well water are not good options. Spring and well water are also chock full of inorganic calcium which accumulates in the body over many years to create calcification, one of the big three that doesn't discriminate with who it takes down. Vegetable eaters and spring water drinkers are the first to experience it.

I've been sweating in far infrared saunas for the past 8 years. Before moving out to the country with cleaner air and lots of pine trees I could feel my lungs getting taxed from all of the car exhaust and hydration-robbing pollutants. A big part of my strategy was to drink and bathe in clean water and sweat regularly in a far infrared sauna. The idea is to keep the water in my body charged and structured so that I can resist non-native EMF and everything else that's we're exposed to. Phillip Wilson has been selling the Relax saunas for over twelve years. The entire tent acts a mirror to reflect the 95-98% pure far infrared light, or heat, that is generated. This results in a faster and more effective sweat, and a better activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Matt - Phillip has a lot of spunk, very energetic and I think it’s largely because of his daily sauna use. My history with sauna use is quite extensive and I talked to Phil about how it’s really light therapy. People don’t think about that because when they think of a sauna they might think of a traditional steam sauna that you would see at a gym or something. Light therapy can help strengthen your cells. It is an acceleration tool for your recovery. Phillip - I’m glad to be here. It’s always fun to tell people how wonderful the Relax Sauna is, and what it can do to transform a person’s life and their health. Matt - Yeah. Absolutely. I think it was the Raw Living Expo, probably, like about 7 or 8 years ago, I saw you there. Phillip - We were at one in LA. They had a raw food festival there. And, we were at the Sedona one a couple of times as well. And Santa Barbara, that was about 10 years ago, 2009, as well. Matt - Yeah, I remember that. There are so many things at those conferences that I just kind of shake my head and roll my eyes at. Every time I would see your booth, I would, like, there’s something to it. I’ve been studying light therapy pretty intensely for the last 6 or 7 years. I read a ton of books. Into the Light was one of my favorites, just a lot of clinical research on different wavelengths of light. I never made the connection that what you’re doing is heat but it’s really light therapy, right? Phillip - Yes, it’s light therapy. And, I’ve been into inner sound and inner light for 50 years now. So, there’s something very special about light, very, very special, especially the frequency of the far-infrared light. Matt - Yeah. And, I definitely want to jump into that. Is there a Dr. Wilson who promotes near-infrared? Phillip - That’s like my last name. Matt- Yeah, that’s right. it gets confusing. I had 4 of those heat bulbs and I was sure that was a ton of electricity. But, I would sit in that naked before and after work. And, I was working long hours back then, just grinding. And, I did feel like it benefited me. I felt like it was safer than the sun because you can get UV damage, right? And, that’s what a lot of people don’t realize. That’s where the benefit of these devices comes in if you really need to target. Phillip - Yeah, it’s concentrated. It’s so much more concentrated far-infrared than the sun gives. But, I still love the sun. But, the far-infrared light from the Relax Sauna is very unique and special, as we will elaborate in the next hour. Matt -Yeah, Absolutely. I was looking through your website and you highlight that there are computer-program ceramic semiconductor chips that filter out all of the non-healing light rays. That’s pretty cool. Phillip - Well, that was a real dilemma about, way back about 30 years ago or 40 years ago when they created the Relax Sauna from 1987 to 1997. They struggled with HOW to get the near-infrared out of the vibration, out of the frequency, and HOW to get the mid-infrared out.
Because see, water is a far-infrared molecule. It vibrates at 8 microns. And the Relax Sauna sends off the energy of 4 to 14 microns only, which is 4 to 14,000 nanometers if you speak that language. And we, as humans, vibrate at 4.6 microns. Water is at 8 microns. So, the water molecules, it’s like astrology, it’s conjunct. It’s the same energy. The water is the same energy. Our bodies are the same energy as the light being. So, because it’s coming at us and we don’t see it as different from us, we don’t try to resist it. And, the resistance is the opposite of absorption. And, so, the Relax Sauna, being 95 to 99% far-infrared energy, and it took them 10 years to figure out how to do that. It’s like they had an a-ha moment. it’s like the invention of the sewing machine. He had a dream and he was shown. And, when it was shown, and, I believe the people in Taiwan had an a-ha moment. Or, they were shown and they didn’t even realize the impact of their invention. Because when you’re in the Relax Sauna, you experience the Chi. It’s like Dr. Bill Apkinar, he wrote a book No Sweat Know Sweat. You know, basically, reclaiming your health and the Definitive Guide to Reclaiming Your Health. And, it’s all about the history of sweating. And, he quotes Hippocrates in there, saying, “Find me a way to create sweat or a fever and I will cure disease.” Not that I might. Not that I could. But, that I will. And, that’s the secret. Because the far-infrared energy is the same energy as the water molecules, the organic molecules of your body, and all mammals. It’s absorbed. It causes the water molecules to pulsate. So, what does far-infrared do? It does one thing only. And, near-infrared doesn’t do this and mid-infrared doesn’t do it. Only far-infrared resonates with the water molecules. That’s all it does. And, the resonating of the waters molecules, it’s like divine love. You just sit there and it’s the same energy as you. So, you just absorb it. And, it causes your water molecules to pulsate. The resonating causes the water molecules to pulsate. So, if every cell in your body and, hence, any organic cell in the body, not any titanium rod. Not any heart pumps, none of that is affected, only the water and the organic molecules start pulsating. That’s like 100 people in a small room dancing. It’s going to get hot. So, that’s the key to increasing body temperature. It’s another way of saying it’s going to create a fever. And, it’s just a temporary fever. You get out and 20 minutes later, you don’t have a fever. So, it causes the increase in the core temperature of the body. So, what does that do when you have a fever? When I was a kid and I had my three -cold or flu, you know, that’s just the way it worked. And, after the second day or third day, I’d wake up totally soaked in bed but feeling incredible. And, so, the sweating gets the toxins out. There’s a book by Tilden from, maybe, the 1930s, and he said. “The cause of all disease is toxemia.” See? Because the cause of all disease is when you get toxins built up in your body. In a natural environment, and you and I are both, I mean, right now I do a lot of raw foods. I am mostly vegan now. You know, the body chemically changes. And, when the body chemically changes you don’t want to be stubborn. You want to listen. And, you can’t be attached to any particular discipline. Like, I experimented with macrobiotics. I was a fruitarian for a while back in the 70s in my early 20s. And, then, all of a sudden, there’s a shift. If you’re tuned in, see, a corner turns. I was meditating once and they said, “A corner turns. You have to listen.” I was even given the phrase momentum, taking advantage of the moment, propelling yourself into greatness and that means that’s different than living in the moment. When you take advantage of the moment, it means you’re living in the moment and listening to that inner nudge, that inner guidance, because when the rules change, when you graduate from high school and you’re in college, the rules change. You can’t act like a high school senior. You have to act like a college freshman. This is part of all life. You go from one plateau to the next plateau. And, it’s like a step function and, all of a sudden, it’s like you die from being a high school senior and you are born into being a college freshman. And, that’s the process. And, Rumi said in his poetry, “When have I ever been less by dying? I died as a mineral, I became a plant. I rose to animal then I became a human. What makes me be anything less by dying?” And, with every death, there’s a rebirth. So, every death is a beginning of life. And. people are afraid of it. And, that’s what drives me crazy. You know, because fear, you know, if you have love in your heart for all life, then fear can’t exist. And, that’s what happens when you get into the Relax Sauna. All your water molecules start pulsating. I haven’t figured it out yet but you either birth lymphocytes, you know, because of the warmth. The heat creates them or you activate them. They come out of hiding. The lymphocytes are the white blood cells, whatever you want to call the essential part of the immune system. And, they go and do their job and get anything that’s foreign to the body and get rid of them. They either eat them up or they expel them through the lymphatic system. And, that’s the beauty of what the Relax Sauna does. See? Again, it does one thing. It resonates the water molecules which causes the water molecules to pulsate. And, then from that, you have 4 effects. Like the first one I explain, you mobilize the immune system and that gets the toxins out of the body. Now, the problem with some detoxification formulas is they get the toxins, maybe, out of the liver, out of the lung, or wherever. But, then, you don’t have enough oomph to get them out out of the body. And, so, whatever doctor protocol you’re working on, if you then get into the Relax Sauna, that will mobilize the lymph and instead of playing musical chairs, where the toxin gets out of the lungs and settles in the kidney, you keep it going and it gets out of the body, through the sweat, through the urine, or through the colon and even through the lungs. And, that’s really important. So, the mobilizing of the lymphatic system is number one. Number two: you could say it increases the micro-circulation and that’s because the pulsating of the water molecules gets the hydrogen and oxygen molecule, the angle between the two hydrogens and the oxygen, the oxygen is the vortex of the angle. The pulsating of the water molecule causes the water molecule to get smaller. You get smaller water, you get smaller blood cells so it’s really really exciting. So, therefore, you increase the microcirculation. And, that’s why people go into the Relax Sauna. And, this isn’t true for all the other saunas. It is true to an extent. But, you know, maybe like a 22-inch bicycle with training wheels will still get you to the grocery store, but it won’t be as pleasant as a 26-inch professional bike. So, we were at a Lyme conference in Boston a couple of years ago. And, this one lady had Lyme disease for 2 1/2 years. And, as a result of the Lyme disease, she had neuropathy. She had no feeling in her fingers and her toes. She got in the Relax Sauna. In 12 minutes she had feeling in her fingers and toes for the first time in 2 1/2 years. And, she had used another portable sauna a dozen times, an hour at a time, and never had that feeling in her fingers and toes. Because see, when you buy a supplement, you look at the dose. You buy a vitamin C, for example, it’s got 100 mg. That’s nice. You find another one that’s got 250, 500, a 1000 milligrams which is 1 gram. Well, people, when they look at saunas and they say, “Oh, OK, well, this one's cheaper.” Yeah, well, the Relax Sauna is 1500 watts and most of them are only 1000 watts. And, there is a beautiful review on reddit.com. I don’t even know the man. He did this in February 2017. And, he said that he bought an Amazon sauna for 250 bucks and it only increased core temperature a half a degree. And, the heart rate variability that he talked about and Sherry Rogers's book and pub med.com. Sherry Roger’s wrote a book called Detoxify or Die. And, in the book, she pointed out research on the far-infrared ray. She had dozens of patients who were chemically sensitive having big problems, environmentally sensitive and having many health problems. And, were, basically, left for dead by the establishment physicians. You know, and, in all due diligence, they tried to help but they were not able to because they did not have the tools. And, Sherry Rogers was something like a functional or an integrative medicine doctor and she used far-infrared saunas. And, boom, she got them all back to be in healthy lifestyles. So, there’s a lot of research stemming back probably from the 60s and 70s from Japan initially. Germany, you know China, talking about what far-infrared can do, between 4 and 14 microns is the name. So, this guy on Reddit.com tried to replicate what the research said far-infrared saunas will do. And, all the heart rate variability tests failed for the cheaper saunas, the $250 sauna, and, then, the $500 Amazon sauna. And, they only increased core temperature 1/2°. So, here he is, really believing in far-infrared ray. So, he says, “Okay, there’s a couple saunas out there that sell for higher. I’ll buy the Relax Sauna. It’s 1500 watts. And, that was a whole lot more than a 1000 watts.” That was his deciding factor. He didn’t realize that the big difference between the Relax Sauna is that the technology using the semiconductor chip technology you mentioned that took 10 years for the Relax Sauna to figure out how in the world to do, that that technology creates about 95, 98% far-infrared ray by filtering out the near and the mid which do not resonate with the cells in your body. So, the more far you have the more effective it is. So, if you use the simple math, the Amazon sauna at 1000 watts, 36% for the generic carbon impregnated filters, then there’s the cloth, the corrugated plastic in there and laminated plastic, the energy emitted by those is only about 360 watts. And the Relax Sauna is 1500 watts at 98%. So, that’s about 1400 watts. The Relax Sauna uses the tent as a mirror. And, that’s another secret to why the Relax Sauna doesn’t cost 10, $12,000. We use the tent as a mirror. A cat needs to lie in the sun, not in the shade. Not that they need to, they don’t lie in the shade. They lie in the sun because, then, they absorb the far-infrared light. And, it’s a very, very beautiful experience to watch the process. Well, I’ve talked a bit, I’ll let you say something and then I’ll continue along train of thought because I just talked about the two. You know, there is much more, there’s more that makes the Relax Sauna unique. All saunas are great. You know, if you got an inexpensive Amazon sauna, I used one for a year, I loved it, but, there was a night and day difference in effectiveness and the efficiency and the quickness when we finally got the Relax Sauna in a year after I’d been using the other sauna. Matt - I love it. Yeah, thank you for all that. That was all great. I made about 10 different points of, basically, just different roads that we can go down. But, I’ll just make a lot of the points really quickly here. You know I like the way that you said… Phillip - Well, the way that I work, the lingering strands that come to us, I just pop onto them. I call them a nudge. And, then I just say, “ OK,. “ And, then, I get off course and it’s always amazing how we always get everything covered by the end of the 60 minutes. We come about-face. You know, sometimes, it drives people crazy. “Well, he didn’t finish.” Well, just hang in there. In a moment, it will come and all your questions will be answered. I’ve just observed this. This is how it works through me and I just love it. I just love the way it works because, you know, you get so much and then you have to take a break. Matt - Yeah. I definitely agree. And, like, I’m bored with most interviews. So, I like doing a different kind, really, of interviewing style. I like to kind of confuse the guest and, kind of throw them off, you know, kind of go like they think I’m going this way and I just go at a 90° angle and see how they react. You usually get better answers that way. Phillip - Right. Exactly. Exactly. Matt - I like what you said about the lymphocytes. I used to work three jobs and just work teaching, delivery driver, all these things, just talking nonstop all day. And, I think a lot of people are in that boat where they are telemarketing or doing demos at Costco or Whole Foods or whatever. And, just using their throat a lot and talking. And, I would get sore throats all the time until I got into sauna therapy. And, to me, that’s my number one use of it. If I just have talked too much nothing works on my throat like that. And, of course, I combine different herbal sprays and stuff that I use, But, mainly I use the infrared on regenerating my vocal cords. It’s incredible how that works. Phillip - We have a lady in LA who said her voice was raspy for years and after she started using the Relax Sauna, I mean she had a wooden sauna for five years and then when she moved she gave it to her son because she said, “I’m not going to put that back together again, no way.” And, so, what she did was she bought the Relax Sauna. when she first saw it at the Conscious Life Expo, she looked at it and said, “No way.” But, somehow I convinced her it was different. You know, the Relax Sauna was more effective and she ended up buying one. And, she said that her voice returned to normal and she’s been a strong proponent of the Relax Sauna for about 10 years now. Because it is magical. It’s not a wooden sauna. It’s far more because the technology, see, the wood saunas are great and I love them but the wood does not generate any, the pretty wood does not generate the far-infrared ray. You look at the technology of the generators of the far-infrared ray. And, the way for Infrared ray works, you have to be in front of it, like a cat lays in the sun, not in the shade. And, so, people look at the Relax Sauna and it’s got a fan in there that’s blowing the heat off of the radiators just like a computer has a fan. Without a fan, our computers would not work because the semiconductor chips or the computer chips get hot. If they get too hot, it’s dangerous. So, it stops. So, we have a fan in there. It has nothing to do with the far-infrared ray except that it keeps the semiconductor chips cool so that they can continue to generate the far-infrared ray energy. And, the uniqueness of the Relax Sauna to any other sauna I’ve seen, and there may be a couple, but we use the tent as a mirror. Because far-infrared light, they don’t teach you this in seventh grade and I don’t just don’t understand why they don’t teach you, that far-infrared light or far-infrared energy is a light from the sun. And, even though it’s invisible, it is still reflected by a mirror. And, because it’s a light, it goes 186,000 miles per second. That’s pretty fast. And, even though it’s a light, but it still, you know, x-ray goes through clothes. Well, the Relax Sauna, the far-infrared energy, it also goes through clothes. And, we all know this. We all know this because, on a cold day or a hot day, if we’re wearing a sweater and our back is to the sun and we feel all this so wonderful warmth in our whole body, the deep penetrating warmth or, if we’re lying on the beach, we feel the deep penetrating warmth. We, also, feel the hot on our skin. That’s the ultraviolet light. The sand gets hot from ultraviolet light. But, how do the turtle eggs hatch? How do the turtle eggs hatch? The far-infrared light goes through the sand and resonates with the water in turtle eggs and activates the embryo to grow into a turtle. Isn’t that amazing? No one else talks about this. It’s something I’ve sort of just recognized. But, the sand does not get hot in between those 2 inches, but the water in the turtle egg does pulsate. That gets the turtle egg hot, hot enough where it starts to process the of growing into a turtle. And, the same thing with snakes, with snake eggs or any reptile eggs, well, they got an agreement with the sun. It’s just amazing. They put their eggs about 1 1/2 to 2 inches below the surface so that the sun’s energy will reach it and the predators won’t be able to get it. Matt - That’s incredible. Have you heard of the book, Reverse Aging by Sang Wang? He’s a Japanese fellow. I read it years ago and there’s a whole section on infrared, and far-infrared. And, my favorite part of the book is he that he said that sleeping next to a partner, you actually live longer. Because you are reflecting each other’s far-infrared waves back-and-forth. Whereas, if you’re just single and just sleeping alone, you’re sending these out and they’re not being reflected back at you. I think the reflecting nature of far infrared is pretty fascinating. Phillip - Well, I met both he and his wife for 2 or 3 times in a row after at the Florida chiropractor conferences in the early 2000‘s when we first started selling the sauna. And, I do have His book and I had nice conversations with both of them. And yes, this is very true. And, far-infrared energy is very miraculous because we are all far-infrared light beings. And, so, when we hug someone, we are generating far-infrared light. You know, probably about 10 years ago, 12 years ago, a number of young women in their early 20s would say, they get in the Relax Sauna at conferences and they said, “Oh my gosh, I feel like my grandma’s hugging me.” And, then, about five or six years later, you know, people, they walk by the Relax Sauna. Maybe they already have a wooden sauna. Maybe they know nothing about the healing benefits of saunas and what it can do. And, they snub their nose. And, so the easiest way to get a person in is saying it feels like your grandma is hugging you. And then, I have to qualify it. And, you know, one person said, “Not my grandma!” And I said, “Oh.” So, it feels like your loving grandma is hugging you. Matt - There are always exceptions. Phillip - Yes, there are always exceptions, you know, And, then I also say, it’s like a cross between your loving grandma and basking in divine love. And, that’s a pretty good description. And, then I had a couple of others. It’s like being in the womb. It’s like being on the beach in Hawaii or it’s like being in the presence of a Chi gong master. And, Dr. Bill Apkinar wrote a book that I talked about No Sweat Know Sweat, The Definitive Guide to Reclaiming Your Health. And, in the book, well, not in the book, but he’s the one who talks about the history of sweating and what it can do. And, what he said to me is that these other saunas are not going to increase heat shock proteins nearly as much as the Relax Sauna does. And, he calls the Relax Sauna a Chi Gong Sauna because he is a Chi Gong Master. He’s an oriental medical doctor. He’s an acupuncturist. He’s a medical doctor in New York City, Long Island. He uses ozone therapy in his practice. And, he was voted Best Cancer Doctor in New York City in 2007. So, he comes with a litany of titles. He’s accomplished a lot in his life and he knows what he’s talking about. And, he knows what he’s talking about. And, he knows that the Relax Sauna is, by far, the most innovative far-infrared or infrared sauna out there because it increases the Chi because of the fact that we have 95 298% far infrared energy. And, again, it’s like for 10 years, I am communicating this to people and I don’t get any response. People can’t relate to the fact, “Oh, so it’s 95, 98% far-infrared energy, and the other sauna is only 36%.” And, it’s as if they didn’t even hear me. You know, I’m saying you're getting five times more far-infrared ray energy. It’s like the 1000 mg of vitamin C is more effective than 100 mg. And, sometimes, 100 milligrams of vitamin C won’t work. It won’t do what you want it to do. But, a gram will. You know, if you take them every hour, you’re always going to have vitamin C. That’s going to help for dealing with the flu and stuff like that. But, at any rate, it’s the article that I finally talked about, the review of the Relax Sauna on Reddit.com, that opened up the floodgate. He said the other saunas cannot increase core temperature, only a half a degree. So, here’s something that’s measurable. The Relax Sauna increases core temperature 3.2° in 25 minutes. And, Dr. Paul Anderson has a cancer clinic in Washington state in the Seattle area and he can increase core temperature 4.2° with his cancer patients when they are doing IV vitamin C therapy. And, I also met a man at the Paleo Conference in Austin about two years ago and he came to me a year later and said, “Hey, the Relax Sauna will increase core temperature 3.2°, the same, all the time. And, the gym saunas, they are not able to do that. And, that’s the key, increasing your core temperature. Hippocrates, “Find me a way to create fever or sweat and I will cure disease.” Matt - Yeah, that’s amazing. I can definitely relate because I’ve used tons of the wooden saunas. I used to sneak into gyms with my friends and use theirs back in the day when I was a degenerate. And, it definitely took forever for me to heat up. And, then, when I bought my own, one of yours, it was like, within 15 minutes, I have a sweat. And, I noticed too. And, I told people this. And, one of my friends, you know, former mentors, colleagues, Robert Casarez said this. too. Phillip - Oh. yeah. He’s great. Matt - It’s interesting, yeah. And, he said, the pores, if you haven’t sweat in like years, like a lot of Americans or people who just have an indoor existence, if you haven’t sweat and pores are just locked shut, this has been my experience, you know because it was just a philosophy he shared. And, I’m like, “Well, let’s see if this is true.” And, to me it was true. Like, if I don’t use the sauna for months, like 3, 4 or 5 months, and I go in, it takes so long to start sweating. But, if I do it consistently like once or twice a week, like, consistently, then I’ll sweat faster. So, I think that’s a question people probably ask you, too, “Why aren’t I sweating?” But, if they haven’t sweat in, like, years… Right? …it’s like their pores are so clamped shut you have to train your body to, like, sweat again. Right?
Phillip - Well, Dr. Roger Billaca, he used to be the Director of Medical Operations for NASA for 10 years and he has a clinic in Fort Collins, Colorado called Tri Life Clinic. And, he says that when he uses, when his patients using the Relax Sauna finally, after 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, or, whenever, those who were really ill, once they start sweating there’s a remarkable change in their healing journey. They start healing much much more quickly. And so, what’s interesting is that my ex-wife would be putting people in the Relax Sauna all the time and she never found someone she couldn’t make sweat. She was a midwife for sweating. And, one lady took 51 minutes to get her to sweat. And, as soon as she started sweating, you had three doctors at a medical conference with their credit cards ready to buy one. Matt - I appreciate that. I made a little list of those. That’s super cool. And, actually, one question before we start. I noticed that you have a black model that’s a little more expensive, like two different versions. Are the materials the only difference, is that the difference? Phillip - The radiator is exactly the same. The chair is exactly the same. The poles are exactly the same. It’s the tent that is made out of a more reflective material. And we do get better results with the black sauna. And, it does work a little bit more effectively, maybe it reflects better. It’s thicker. It’s embroidered. It looks beautiful. It’s got an embroidered emblem on it. And, so, if you were willing to pay $5000 for a piece of art and, you know, it’s 2‘ x 3‘, one for $200 just doesn’t turn you on, then this is the prestige sauna. But, in terms of the $1300 sauna, it works 4 to 10 times more effectively than any other sauna. So, if the Relax Black Sauna works 5% more effectively, it’s negligible compared to the other saunas. But, if you have money and you want the best, it’s worth the difference. If you don’t have a lot a whole lot of money, it’s not worth the difference, $2000 to $1300. Maybe if it sold for $1500 or $1600 it might be worth it, but not at $2000. Matt - OK. Awesome. Thanks for that. Yeah, I was wondering. And, you also have a lie-down one and then some lamps. That’s kind of cool. Because I always, like I have red light shining down on me during all the interviews. And, that’s something to just put in the workplace. Right? A little table lamp. Phillip - The table lamp is incredible. I mean, I used to sell the Hitachi Twin-head Electric Massagers at conferences before we discovered the Relax Sauna. And, I sold 40 in a weekend. The Relax Sauna Far Infrared Table Lamp can do wonders. It can do wonders. It can return eyesight, I mean it did. It returned hearing. It got rid of tooth pain. It got rid of infections. One lady put the Relax sauna table lamp on. She would inject B12 shots into her thigh. And, she put the Relax Sauna Lamp on and in real-time all the blue marks, all the purple marks, disappeared. And, she was totally blown away. Matt - Wow. That’s amazing. Phillip - The lie-down sauna, some people love to lie down. It works just as well at 1000 watts instead of 1500 watts. But, it works just as effectively and it’s great. And, it puts any other lie-down sauna to shame. We had one lady, she had a $2,300 lie-down sauna she had bought from another company. She sold it to me for a $200 rebate on the Relax Sauna lie-down sauna. She said there was a night-and-day difference. Matt - Wow. Super cool. I love it. Well, let’s see. One of our first questions here is, “What are the benefits of a far-infrared sauna over a steam sauna?” Phillip - The far-infrared energy is energy medicine. The energy pulsates with your water molecules. It increases your core temperature. Steam saunas only get you hot on the outside. They don’t have that energetic effect and it will be very, very difficult to feel the Chi within your body moving with the steam sauna or with any, you know, with a Finnish sauna as well. Matt - Awesome. Yeah, I definitely agree. Do you suggest using binders after the sauna, like activated charcoal, chlorella, clay? Phillip - Those are, you know, many many options. Many naturopathic doctors, many functional medicine doctors, you know, or nutritional consultants will recommend those things. And, each will have a different protocol. And, they are all good, they’re all good. I’ve had my health food store now since 1980 and i’ve been into fasting, intermittent fasting. I didn’t even know what that was called and I just started doing it naturally. And, there are many things that you can do. There’s bentonite clay, there are all these things that you can do and I recommend them all. Matt - Awesome. I used to make a drink. My favorite sauna drink was lemon and, basically, lemon and ginger. And, sometimes I put cayenne pepper in there. But, just lemon and ginger drink is super refreshing in the sauna. Phillip - My favorite drink is the Master Cleanser, the lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper. I’ve done 10-day, 13-day fasts on that, 3-day fasts, 7-day fasts. I love that. I love that drink. Matt - I do a lot of maple syrup. Phillip - Yeah. I do a lot of ginger, too. I love ginger and turmeric. Matt - Awesome. That’s awesome, a lot of great stuff. What about electrolytes and minerals.? I had a lot of questions on that. Shouldn’t you be concerned about sweating out your minerals? Or, you can just put some salt in your water, right? Good clean salt. Phillip - Celtic sea salt, Himalayan salt, Real Salt or the trace mineral formula by Trace Mineral Company or any good mineral supplement, you know, are all recommended. And, again, you know, I give people the choice. It’s probably a good idea. My ex-wife used to get on my case, too, always, I didn’t do it very much because I eat pretty healthy. And, every so often, I would get a leg cramp. I said, “OK, it’s time for me to start doing the minerals.” Matt - It’s amazing how much they run the body. I’ve been studying just magnesium for years. I take mega, megadoses of magnesium, getting amazing results. So, what are your thoughts? Phillip - Magnesium is number 12, by the way. And, 12 is a special number. Yeah, magnesium, the periodic table number is 12. So, it’s very special because of that. Matt - That’s super cool. Heavy metals, I had 3 questions with heavy metals. How to get rid of heavy metals from vaccines that are sitting in the brain and in the body. Does sweating help to remove any of them from the brain? Do you use binders? And, then, “Do 5G towers interact with heavy metals?” Phillip - Well, I’ve heard that aluminum in the body from the chemtrails and from the deodorants and all. The aluminum acts as an antenna to make the Wi-Fi from the cell phones or the Wi-Fi or even the 5G to activate it more, to make it stronger in being a poison to the body. And, as a poison we detoxify. You know, we had Karen Russell back in 2007, in November, bought a Relax Sauna from us at one of the medical conferences. And, within two months, within one month, all her heavy-metals were back to normal. Now, I think it was because she had tried all these other things but they were dormant and couldn’t finish the job. And, so, within a month, her mercury and lead levels were normal for the first time in 2 1/2 years on her monthly tests. And, so, we did test someone after. The people who made the Relax Sauna in Taiwan said, “Oh really? It gets rid of heavy metals? We didn’t know that.” And, so, they did a little test of their own, not really a scientific thing but a man, you know, urinated, you know, before he got in the sauna. And, then, he went in the sauna for 15 minutes. And, the next time he gave urine, there were way, way more heavy metals in the urine than there was before. So, it’s going to get the heavy metals to go out through the urine and the sweat and the colon. And, so, I don’t have any proof of this. It’s very hard to do proof but we have many, many doctors and all the sauna companies, you know, they all report they’ve had many, many anecdotal instances where people don’t have heavy metals nearly as much as they did. So, I think it’s a good, good…, it’s not going to hurt, it’s not going to increase heavy metals. And, I’d say 90% more, it’s going to reduce them. Matt - I love it. It’s my understanding that phthalates and even radioactive particles leave through the sweat. I know here’s some research on this. Phillip - Yes. Dioxins and plastics. And, Dr. Sherri Rogers, who talks about this in her book, Detoxify or Die, said the ONLY way she knows to get plastics out of the body or phthalates is through saunas, the far-infrared saunas. It’s the only way she knows in 2001. So, “Oh, my gosh. The far-infrared saunas can do wonders.” Because again, it increases your core body temperature. Finnish saunas are great. They have a lot of benefits. I have nothing wrong with them. I highly recommended them. But, if you want to do what Dr. Sherry Rogers called the Superior Sauna, then you want the far-infrared sauna because they can do so much more than the regular saunas can. And, a lot of people who are touting the Finnish saunas, they don’t quite realize that. But, that’s OK. Finnish saunas are great. And, they’ve proven in a 20-year study that shows that those Finns who do sweating, I mean, the difference is phenomenal between those who do it 4 to 7 times a week compared to those who only do it 1 time. Matt - I’ve seen that research. Yes. It’s very real. And, I think I’ve said this story before on my podcast but years ago I was volunteering at a Run for the Cure, like a cancer fundraiser. And, it was just such like an LSD moment to look at the table, the picnic table. And, they had plastic filtered, probably tap water, tap water in plastic bottles with UV light, sunlight, not covered. Just these plastic bottles that people were walking up and just, “Here. Free water, guys. It’s free cancer.” It’s plastic. It’s like people don’t make the connection that they make, in the conventional world, that plastic causes, I mean it’s a primary cause of cancer because of the dioxins. Phillip - Right, yeah. Matt - I think that can be the cause of a lot of underlying issues in people. Right? Hormonal especially. Phillip - Well, this one man, he had a Relax Sauna. And, then, he got into a swimming pool. He got the chlorine which is another name for dioxins in his body and he was nauseous. 10, 20, 15 minutes in the Relax Sauna all the nauseousness was gone. Yeah, the dioxins or the phthalates that most people are probably not totally aware that those are plastics. And, the chlorine and fluorine that are in the body that need to get out, the far-infrared saunas through increasing the core temperature are one of the best ways to get them out. And, the Relax Sauna, of course, works so much more effectively. And, again, this seems like hearsay when I say that, especially when you own a $5000 wooden sauna. The doctor, well she’s not a doctor, she owns a clinic in colon hydrotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen. Her name is Rebecca Harder. And, she wrote this book called Gastra Girl. And. in the book she’s got eight pages on the Relax Sauna. And, she relates her story, “I’ve been selling wooden saunas for 10 years in my clinic.” And, you know, she’s got a beautiful pristine clinic made out of wood and everything. And, she said, “I turned my nose up at the Relax Sauna every year I saw them at the conferences.” And, then, she got in the Relax Sauna and in three minutes, she was sold because she could feel the difference. She could feel the difference, instant relaxation. And, Dr. Young, you know, again Dr. Robert O. Young. for 20 years he had been promoting wooden far-infrared saunas. And, he gets in the Relax Sauna. Boom. Sold. And, he and his partner have been very very strong in promoting the Relax Sauna for a very for many years. And, they love it. Matt - That’s awesome. Let’s see, suggested frequency and duration of use, and how many sessions per week works best?. Phillip - Well, two or three times a week is minimal, you know, I use it almost every day. I use it, you know, like I skip a morning or two every month. Like two days ago I didn’t use it. I didn’t feel like using it. I didn’t want to use it. I didn’t use it. But, I usually use it every morning. First thing I get up. I drink about 12 ounces of water. I get in the sauna. At eight minutes, I’m sweating. In 15 minutes I’m dripping. In 20 minutes I’m drenched. I get out. I drink some water, maybe take a shower, and then go back and do the same thing all over again, or maybe not take a shower, go in after I’ve been out for 2 or 3 minutes. A friend of mine, she’ll drink water constantly while she’s in the sauna and do it for 30, 40 minutes. Most people, 15, 20 minutes will give you a great sweat. But, what’s really exciting about the Relax Sauna, we go to a lot of Autism Conferences also. Kids get in and in 5 to 7 minutes, all the anxiety is gone. And, so, you can use the Relax Sauna with your clothes on. And I have put over 125,000 people in the Relax Sauna over the last 18 years. And, people with arthritis pain of 12, any other kind of pain of 8, 9, 10, 12, 6, 4, 3, it goes down. Sometimes we get a 12 to go down to a 0, in their clothes because far-infrared goes through clothes. A man in Austin, Texas had a motorcycle accident four years ago. He’s been in constant pain of 6, 6 1/2 for 4 years. He got in the sauna and it got reduced to 3 in 10 minutes. He bought one. You know. And, then he texted me, “It does work. It works.” Matt - That’s really cool. This is actually, a good question that it made me think of. Someone asked if you don’t shower immediately, does the existing sweat soak back into the skin? And, I thought about that over the years. I think, like Wendy Myers, some other people in the health space, said like they run to the shower after. But, it doesn’t really make sense. Right, that they would absorb in that quickly. Phillip - Again, that ugly fear monger rears its ugly head and makes you afraid you’re going to absorb the toxins. I took rebounding training back with L. Carter. And, the lymphatic system is a one-way valve. And, when you’re excreting sweat, when you’re out-flowing, getting rid of sweat, you’re not going to absorb the toxins back into the body. You know, it just makes no sense in the world. You know, as a matter of fact, one colon hydrotherapist said, “Phil, it’s best to wait 20 minutes before you take a shower because your bodies going to continue to detoxify for another 20 minutes.” Now, you can towel dry. And, people who don’t have showers at their offices, I said, “No, the best, the ideal situation is to wait 20 minutes, especially, if you only do it 2, 3 times a week. Sometimes I shower right after. Sometimes I don’t. But, no fear. Oh, absolutely! Get rid of that monster. Throw it out the window. You know, you’re not going to absorb toxins. And, if you are, you’re not going to absorb more than 5 or 2%. And you know it’s OK. You know? Fear is crazy! My belief is you’re not going to absorb toxins because your lymphatic system is in outflow mode. Now, I know that if you put aloe vera on your body or any kind of cream, and you warm your body up, like if you absorb ozone, you get in the sauna. And, a lot of people do ozone saunas. They use the Relax Sauna and they use, either a professional model with an oxygen tank or they use just a little cheaper sauna that takes it from the air. And, we sell ozone saunas for people who want them. You know, we can sell them. And, there’s a couple of ozone companies that sell the Relax Sauna, as well, because the heat will increase the absorption of the ozone. You open up the pores. And, there’s a guy who does some kind of bicycle who uses the Relax Sauna afterward. I mean the Relax Sauna is used during IV therapy by Dr. Anderson at his cancer clinic in Washington state. And, a lot of people who do IV therapy, they can’t get the needle into a vein. And, they put people in for 5, 7 minutes in the Relax Sauna and then they can do it. And, the beauty of the Relax Sauna is that you use it with your clothes on for 5 to 7 minutes to get rid of pain and inflammation. And, it’s instant. I once had chills. I got in and, boom, the chills were gone in two minutes. Another time, once in the last 18 years, I was having an asthma attack. I got in for 3 or 4 minutes, totally gone. One of the best things in the world for the lungs, one of the best things in the world for the lungs is a far infrared sauna. It helps oxygenate. And, that’s the key for all this coronavirus. This one doctor says, “You know, in the emergency room, I’ve never seen anything so close. It’s altitude sickness,” he says. “And, what they need is: is they need oxygen.” They need to be oxygenated. So, we’ve been selling oxygen products. I mean, Ed McCabe wrote a book called Oxygen Therapies and Flood Your Body with Oxygen. And, chlorine dioxide, the MMS by Jim Humble, is one example of a very, very concentrated, something that I don’t do unless I’m very very conscious of. But, the oxygen products, the Oxy cleanse, the Oxy lift, the Oxy caps, The magnesium peroxide and the chlorine dioxide will oxygenate your cells. And, that’s very very important. And the Relax Sauna will augment these things and the Relax Sauna, you know, will create nitric oxide in the body and ATP and the nitric oxide. Just by the name oxide, I think that oxygenates the cells and that creates loads of oxygen. And, the healthy bacteria will thrive. And, the anaerobic bacteria will die in the presence of oxygen. So, you know, in the first 2, 3 days of a flu, using the Relax Sauna is highly, not the Relax Sauna but using the sauna, is highly recommended, highly recommended by Med Cram 46, 47 and 55. They all recommend saunas. You know, this is a medical group explaining what the coronavirus does. And, I’m sitting in here saying, “You know, I’ve been into holistic health since 1971 when I got into fasting after I had a kundalini experience after I had an out of body experience two years before. And, so, you know, I was really sensitive back then. And, it’s like there’s so many, Dr. Brownstein, Dr. Rowan, they say, “Hey.” Dr. Apkinar, they all have solutions and they are healing 99% to 100% of the people coming to them. They are not dying and they’re recovering. And, “Oh my gosh! The establishment drives me crazy. And, they’ve been doing that for 50 years.” Matt - Yeah, that’s all great stuff. And, you made me think of a study. I did a solo show, just with me talking all about the coronavirus and my thoughts on it. And, there was this study I found called Coronavirus Disease 2019 on ScienceDirect.com. And, one of the methods, you might’ve seen this, they used to inactivate the coronavirus in the blood was with heat, just heat alone. And, you can mix that with methylene blue and UV light which I recommended. Visible light, which is a photo-sensitizer, that methylene blue stuff. Like, just light therapy alone. Like, that’s my top anti-viral viral. Like I’ll use oregano oil and different things. But, even if this thing is like a real threat, which I don’t think it is. Oregano oil, heat, light are good. I mean, to me, I am good at least, you know? Phillip - Dr. Apkinar recommends ozone infused with ultraviolet light and then that intravenously, then the Relax Sauna. You know, the light and the heat, the infrared heat and the ozone, the oxygen. Hey, people are even having a lot of success with vitamin C doses every hour, vitamin A, vitamin D. I mean I’ve driven myself crazy for the last week. Instead of doing work and writing and working on my book, I’m listening to every single video I can on the coronavirus. I mean I am almost beside myself because the whole thing is like worse than a horror fiction film. I mean people are running around, they’re like they’re chickens with their heads chopped off. They’re crying, “Chicken Little the Sky is Falling!” And, hey, everything is fine. You know, it’s like the flu. Maybe it’s worse. Maybe it’s not. But, alternative health, they can help you. People won’t die. People die of the flu every year. It’s the same amount last year as this year. Maybe a little bit more. Maybe a little bit less. You know, how many deaths are caused by sickness? I don’t think that’s changed. You know, because it seems like they are trying to call everything, you know, and the data is being manipulated because politicians who have decided to do shutdowns, you know, if it’s turned out that this was all based on false science or inaccurate data, they’re going to look bad. So, they’re trying to protect themselves and it’s getting worse. When all else fails, tell the truth. Matt - Yeah. Alex Jones is funny. He’s a comedian if anything. He’s probably… Phillip - Yeah. If you don’t laugh you’re going to cry. Matt - He’s had some great shows, recently, talking about Fauci and how he was kind of the cause of all this and, you know, and NIH. And, you know, how everyone’s all… Phillip - Yeah, I heard that myself Matt - And, it’s a big show. Phillip - Yeah. Like as Foster Gamble showed in his movie, Thrive. Follow the money. Follow the money. And, then, for some reason, little minds want to control other people. You know, that’s weird, weird, weird. Matt - Yeah. And, I was talking to my friend, Josh, just the other day about the silver lining. Like the good that came out of this, to me,is that I see more people outside. And, I’m less on Instagram and social media. I am going outside more, even myself, and that’s a big benefit. Yeah, and there’s that aspect. And, people are becoming more aware of their health. I have a supplement line. I sell vitamin E and K27 and my sales are increasing and I’m doing well. I’m not fear-mongering, like saying you need my supplements to be healthy, but I’m just talking about health in general. And, people are just more open, right, to health right now. Phillip - Right. Exactly. Yeah. I mean you have to laugh. And, there is a silver lining. And, things are happening the way they are happening And, so, here is a great spiritual lesson I learned. Instead of complaining about what isn’t or wasn’t, you just accept what is and take it from there. And, to me that was profound. I realized it about six months ago. Instead of complaining about what wasn’t, to just accept what is. Like, in my company, well. here are all these problems and dot, dot, dot.… Yeah, let’s pretend we just landed here, and let’s fix it. We don’t want to complain about it because complaining, we can do the research later, let’s just, “What do we need to do to get things running smoothly?” Matt - I like that. Yeah, I think homesteading is a big part of it and planting fruit trees. But, just homesteading and getting more self-sufficient, that’s what I’m working on. Like, I got goose and some chickens and a greenhouse and stuff. Phillip - Yeah, and you’re having the time of your life. And, that’s great. Matt - Yeah, and I’m trying to inspire others. Phillip - Well, you know, it’s funny. People will complain about the Relax Sauna and, see, we are the only portable sauna that does not have any plastic in it. I was at a dentist's show, a biological dentist's show. One lady had not sweated in 10 years, another lady had not sweated in 20 years, and in 15 to 22 minutes they were both sweating. And, so, it’s a release. It’s like the inability of men to cry. You know, once you’re able to cry, you’re able to release. And, once you can release, You know, I like to say, the water has got to get out. You might as well laugh instead of cry. Matt - I like that. Phillip - Being in the sauna, is like laughing. Because, you know, one of the side effects of the Relax Sauna is joy. Joy and one of the others is a euphoria side effect. These are some things, you know, that just happens. You feel joyful. You feel mentally alert, spiritually tuned in. There’s a little extra pep in your step. You just feel alive, aware. And, this is why Dr. Bill Apkinar, author of the book No Sweat Know Sweat, why he says this is the Chi Gong Sauna because the Chi in your body is starting to be activated. And, the other saunas don’t have enough oomph. They don’t have enough far-infrared ray energy to do it. They’re great. They have a lot of benefits. I would never say not to do another sauna. I would never ever say another sauna is dangerous because of the EMF. You know, Dr. Robert O. Young, who is quite famous for his book, The PH Miracle, says he’s never found a sauna where the EMF would interfere with the effectiveness of the far-infrared ray. And, the Relax Sauna, having 10 times more far-infrared energy then any other portable sauna and at least 4 or 5 times more far-infrared ray, people don’t realize there’s research in Japan that says that far-infrared antidotes the negative effects of EMF. And, when we talk about EMF, household appliances can’t hold a candle to the danger of a cell phone or a Wi-Fi, let alone 5G. I know there’s a man. He’s a scientist. He’s out of Pennsylvania. He bought a Relax Sauna from us about 12, 14 years ago. He says it’s as good as new. It’s one of the testimonies if you go to Relax Sauna testimonials - EMF. He’s one of the ones who talk about it. But, he said the energy of the Relax Sauna energy in terms of EMF, a cell phone is 100 times more dangerous. So, I asked Dr. Klinghardt, you’re familiar with him? Matt - Yes. Phillip - His partner got a Relax Sauna from us at the Autism Conference. We let her take it up to the hotel room. And, in one session, her elbow pain that she had for a year was gone and it hasn’t come back. So, they bought a sauna from us in May. And, then, when Dr. Klinghardt was a guest speaker at a conference in Chicago two months later, the Psychotronics Conference, they bought another sauna because they have a location in London and a location in Seattle. And so, you know, she just totally, totally loves the sauna and says that Dr. K. has also used it. So, I asked Dr. Klinghardt, “Deitreik, when people, they carry a cell phone and they ask about the EMF in the Relax Sauna.” And, he said, “Yeah, I know.” It’s like, you know, my blender, my juicer has 10 times more EMF. And, when I juice, I juice for 20 minutes. And, I’m like, you know like my chest is right in front of it and it’s okay. I never feel any repercussions from it. But the beauty in the relax sign it, it’s only EMF is by the feet. There is hardly any EMF because there’s no electricity above your knees. But, a lot of times, people, you know, it’s like they have a measuring device. OK. And, the measuring device shows there is EMF. Well, that’s nice. You believe in your device or do you believe in your body’s ability and your attunement with your inner connection to realize that the far-infrared ray is not allowing the EMF to damage you because it’s an antidote for EMS. I know there’s a musician in Philadelphia. He got in the sauna and he says. “I’m really, really sensitive to EMF.” But, his friends said, “Oh this is great.” And, he got in and said, “I can sense it, there, by the radiators, but it’s not getting in.” Because the far-infrared ray from the Relax Sauna radiators is preventing it. And so, I would say, that the Relax Sauna generators act as an EMF protector. And, there are 4 people who specialize, in Arizona and in LA, who specialize in helping you have a home that is free of EMF. And, they all have Relax Saunas in their homes. And, they all love it. One lady, after she tested 4 people’s homes for EMF, and she still has a little device. She just clips it on. For extra protection, I'll just get one of these. But, she saw that 4 of her clients all had Relax Saunas. And, then she met us at a show and then she ended up buying one herself. And, she gave us a testimony. So it confounds me, the marketing ploys of other companies. And, they mean well. But, they don’t know what they’re talking about. You can probably elaborate on that. You’ve been in the Relax Sauna for a number of years and have you ever experienced any EMF damage? Matt - No, not at all. I’m really glad you addressed EMFs because I think that’s the number one concern when they see your sauna. And then, the giant wooden ones, especially that are selling for 4 grand, 5. I’ve even seen $6000 wooden saunas. And, you know, there’s like 2 big names that people in the bio-hacking space sell. I think, you know, they market with “no off-gassing, no EMFs” But, it’s really, you’re just trying to sweat and get the job done. Why would you spend an extra 3, 4 grand? Like, for years, I would just throw a Sagano, or there are these different companies making these activated charcoal packs you get on Amazon. Phillip - Right Matt - You just throw those in the sauna and it absorbs all the POCs. You know, like all this psychodrama, and people who just so, you know, because there’s, like, all this fear about EMF and, just hysteria. And, I really like that you brought up that light is the antidote. Because I think it’s not only far-infrared light but just light in general. Like for me, it’s visible red, invisible red UV light and good water. If you have good water, good drinking water. You have magnesium in your red blood cells, you’re getting sufficient light hitting your tissues and your blood. Then, like you said, you’re resistant to EMF. So, I think people just have the wrong philosophy of EMF. They just want to block everything and live like in a faraday cage. But, that’s not a way to live. You just want to get so strong that can resist these fields. And, you know, there are exceptions like if you’re in a big city like LA or San Diego or Austin or big, you know, like New York, then you have to take extra measures. But, you know, yeah, I’m glad you brought that up. I wanted to make this point real quick. Have you seen those liposomal products, like those detox kits? Most people know which one I’m talking about. It’s like a cube detox kit that sells for $1700. And, it’s liposomal glutathione and vitamin C. I just roll my eyes at this kind of stuff because you could spend just a grand on your sauna and drink good clean water and get a very similar effect, instead of having to buy a $1700 detox liposomal kit every month or 2 months or 3 months or whatever it is. I prefer protocols that it’s a one-time purchase. And, then, you can just use it forever. Yeah. That’s kind of what this sauna is to me. It’s, like, you do the protocols as much as you want after you invest. Phillip - What people like about the Relax Sauna is the longevity. There are many people, there are probably a dozen interviews that I’ve done with people who had their saunas 10, 12, 14 years, even 16 years and say it works great. It works just like new. Sometimes the tents do wear out if you don’t treat them well after 4,5, 6 years like when you’re upholstering furniture. But, the radiators will last a long time. We say that they’ll last 5 to 7 years in a clinical setting. They had one set of Relax Sauna generators, it’s a double generator, in Taiwan for 9 years going 24/7. And, there was a power failure so they quit their experiment. But, it does go for a long time. They work well and, I mean the generators, themselves, cost $1000 for just the 2 generators. And, then, the tent and the chair and everything, you know, right now in 2020, they sell for $1300 online. But, the Relax Sauna is not a $1300 sauna. It’s a $2000 sauna. It sells in Taiwan for $2000. So, the Relax Sauna is more comparable to the $4000, $5000 wooden saunas that are made, you know, well, in America, or not in America necessarily, but that are made with real wood, you know, and all that jazz. In the portable saunas, the $850 saunas, they are the same technology as the $250, $300, $400 saunas. They have carbon panels which are very primitive and only generate about 35%, 36% far-infrared ray. Some of the other saunas have, you know, whatever they have. They’re putting in near-infrared light bulbs. They’re putting in stones. They’re putting in other stuff. But, you know, it’s bells and whistles. It’s the far-infrared ray energy, the pure. We had this sauna with no changes for 20 years in the technology because, once we discovered it, We discovered it, And, we had some cosmetic changes, but not in the radiators, the radiators are the same semiconductors we’ve been using for over 20 years. And, the company is 40 years old. And, also, the point you brought out about the tent, there’s a guy who’s got a Facebook page who doesn’t understand lab reports. And he’s bad-mouthing the Relax Sauna tent, saying it's full of toxins. It’s full of stuff. I said, “Oh, my gosh. He just says you don’t want one of these which is basically a form of slander and libel.” But, you know, “Hey, to each their own.” I believe that fake news, real news, it’s all the same. You have to decide what to believe and what not to believe. And, I don’t believe in belief. Matt - Yeah. That was, actually, one of our Q & A questions. Like, Is there off-gassing of chemicals? What is the material made of? And, stuff like that. Philip - We had a test. We tested the sauna tent. Now, here’s the way it works. You test in the laboratory for parts per billion of these volatile gases and 15 gasses measured in it. Then, they brought in the Relax Sauna. And, they took the Relax Sauna, they stuck it on for 30 minutes and as soon as the 30 minutes was over they measured the volatile gases in the laboratory. OK? Of 15, 8 went up and 7 actually went down. And, the difference was negligible in all 15 parts. So, what this guy on Facebook was saying, and he had a YouTube video before, I think, they took it down because was sort of like libel or slander and he said, “The Relax Sauna was dangerous! Look at all these volatile chemicals!” Well, the volatile chemicals were in the laboratory before. and here was no negligible difference. This is how people can interpret things. And, frankly, I think a carpet or the paint has more, you know, than the Relax Sauna. Now, you know, we used to, for the first 4 or 5 or 6 years, we used to get the Relax Sauna then and no one ever, ever complained about any kind of smell. But, now, that we are selling so many Relax Saunas, we are getting them in, like, shortly after they’ve been made. And, it’s like a new car smell. It is made with nylon and it’s coated with a coating that has real silver in it. And, I think, they’re made by a company in Taiwan that makes spacesuits for NASA or something like that. So, it’s a very reputable company that makes the tents. And, all it is is nylon, nylon and that silver coating. And, anyone, I happen to like cotton and natural fibers and so I use cotton sweats. You know, but some people have, a lot of athletes, have nylon. So, the danger of their clothes is probably as dangerous as the Relax Sauna tent, which is nil. It is not at all. And, like what you said, you can just get those carbon packs and stick them in. Matt - That’s what I like to do. I mean, I even do that in the wooden saunas I’ve used because they’re still, plastic speaker thing. It’s like with EMFs, I think that people, they get on you about the EMFs. I would bet, I would bet like a $1000, that they don’t put their phone in airplane mode when it’s in their pocket. That they have it on their lap when they’re driving. I see this with health nuts all the time. It drives me nuts. Right on the genitals, they rest the phone, all the time, this little metal box or right to their head. Right? They’re not always using the speaker and never, ever putting it to their head. So, I think, yeah, people get kind of neurotic about different things and that’s why I post pictures of me eating a burger here and there and different things. Just to let people know, like, health is not just about being on everything. Like, you know, you have to let go. You have to go out with your friends and family. Have fun. Right? That’s what health is. It’s not being neurotic about EMF, you know, 5G and off-gassing. You’ll go crazy. I mean, we have solutions for EMFs. But, try not to micromanage your life because I think that’s not healthy. It’s like, you can be unhealthy trying to be healthy. Phillip - I have no rules. I don’t believe in rules. Rules are temporary to get you to… See, I had a dream and I was told not to eat potatoes, tomatoes and mushrooms. This was in the early 70s.I wasn’t eating them anyway. And, then a couple of months later, I went to dinner with my mom and my aunt and two of them were in the salad. And, I just listened and I got a go-ahead. Eat them. So, you know, I ate them and I realized that was the consummation of the fact that my discipline was over. In other words, the fact that the discipline was over, I had to break the rule to be free of a rule controlling me. Because I don’t want to be controlled by anything but living in the moment and letting the direct connection with That-Which-Is guide my actions and attitudes and behavior. And, it’s just totally listening and having that absolute reliance on that inner guidance is what it’s all about. And, this thing about fear, you know, people would say… You know what’s 10 times worse than EMF? 10 times worse, 100 times worse. The fear of EMF. Matt - I fully agree, fully agree. I think people who are getting sick with this virus should desist from being in fear because fear lowers the immune system. Phillip - You got it. And, again, it’s going to… And, I am, like, aghast, OK?, at the behavior of people. I mean, you know, I don’t want to go into that right now. I don’t want to get myself into any kind of trouble, but the fear is like, I put it, it’s like from the King and I, “When I am afraid, whistle a happy tune.” I posted that on my Facebook page, “You guys got to start whistling. This is crazy.” You know, there’s something called Med Cram 46, Med Cram 47 and Med Cram 55, where they all talk about the benefits of sauna. In the first 2, 3 days of being sick with the flu or a virus, that’s the time when saunas can be extremely helpful. And so, we’re getting phone calls, left and right, because even Dr. Apkinar who uses IV therapy, ozone and ultraviolet light, he says light and ozone and heat from far-infrared, those are three secret ingredients that will perform miracles. Dr. Robert O. Young, I’m not sure if you are familiar with him. He wrote the PH Miracle for alkalizing the body. And, again, I think he’s gotten incredible wisdom. And, he has been using wooden saunas and recommending saunas for probably 20, 30, 40 years, for all I know. And, he got a Relax Sauna at the Cancer Conference from us 5 years ago and he gave me a two-minute interview on the spot. And, at the Cancer Conference in September, he gave me a 17-minute interview. And, he can explain why and how the Relax Sauna works so well. I mean, they really get the job done. They do. And, of the saunas that he uses, he’s got, you know, 10, $20,000 saunas, and he uses the Relax Sauna because it works quick. It does the job. It gets the job done, 30 seconds I’m sweating. I’ve been doing the Relax Sauna for 18 years now, almost every morning, so, I’ve been in the Relax Sauna at least 6000 times. And, I do it for 20 minutes and have an incredible sweat. It takes me 30 seconds to feel warm and toasty, 8 minutes to start sweating, 15 minutes I’m dipping and 20 minutes I’m drenched. And, that’s the average. You know, some days it’s quicker. And, then what I’ll do. I’ll get out and drink some water and then I’ll come back and do another 20-minute sweat. And, those two towels on my sauna, they’re wet. I put a folded towel on the chair. I drape another towel over the chair and they are both soaked after a 20 minute, especially after two 20 minute sweats. And, on Spa Day for Phil, that’s the magic. I do it three times, Always doing water in between. Yeah, it’s magical. You feel like you’ve been at the spa for 9 hours in 1 hour. Matt- I definitely feel that. I was going to ask you, too, about the towels because that’s something I was trying to figure out. So, you put a folded one on the chair under your butt that you’re sitting on. And, one over the chair. And, you can even put, like, hand towels on the foot things. Right? Because I know those can get hot. Phillip - Exactly. And, you can put them on the floor of the tent. I sit in a half-lotus position 80% of the time in the sauna. Oh, and I duck my head a lot, too. I duck my head a lot. Sometimes, you see, we are a pro-choice sauna. We give you the choice to put your head in or out. Met - Yeah, I used to sit completely inclosed and shut, you know, put something over the top. Phillip - You don’t need to put anything over the top because it’s not the heat. It’s not the heat, it’s the light. After 10 years of using the sauna, you know, I would get too hot, like we talked about, and I would have to do all this exercise and move my chest and move my head to be able to handle it. And, finally, after 10 years I realized all I had to do was unzip the zipper. I call it sophisticated temperature control. Matt - That’s awesome. Phil, do you want to do a quick rapid-fire Q&A.? We have like 15 questions. A lot of them are pretty simple but… Phillip - Well, let me quickly finish the 3rd and 4th things that the Relax Sauna does, or the far-infrared does. Besides increasing microcirculation which helps for neuropathy, for arthritis pain, for getting rid of inflammation, for getting rid of scar tissue, for helping with Raynaud’’s syndrome and the microcirculation helps with the heart. The Mayo Clinic says all their heart patients should never use regular saunas because the heart has to race to find an equilibrium but far infrared saunas are actually great and very healthy for them. The 3rd thing that the Relax Sauna does, and I had a lady who has $5,000 wooden sauna use the Relax Sauna for half an hour and come back to me and say, “After 8 to10 minutes, I experienced the deepest, most profound relaxation I have ever had in my life,” and, so, what the Relax Sauna does, and I’ve noticed this from day one, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system. And, so, it balances the feeling and thinking qualities within you. It gets you turned in and gets the fight or flight motion out of you. And, that’s why people say, ”I sleep better. I don’t have any anxiety. I feel turned in.” And then, the 4th thing that it does is, it activates the mitochondria to create ATP and nitric oxide so you feel energized. But, the true energy, like I used to do caffeine, coffee, for 10 years. I quit when I was 22. I did it from age 12 to 22 and that was over 50 years ago, and, so that’s like a nervous energy. In the Relax Sauna you get down to the grounded point where you feel connected and as soon as you feel connected, all of a sudden you get energized by a real energy and that is the 4th thing that it does. So, let’s answer your questions now. I am ready. Phillip - Well, you know, it’s funny. Like people will complain about the Relax Sauna tent. We are the only portable sauna that does not have plastic in it. We are the only one. All the other ones, as far as I can tell, they have corrugated plastic holding up their tents. Our tents pop up in 20 seconds. OK? There’s no corrugated plastic in our sauna tent and all the other ones do and they complain about the Relax Sauna. And, they complain about EMF. And, the corrugated plastic in their tent is probably… Anyway, I don’t know the data but I prefer to talk about the track record that the Relax Sauna has had in the United States for 18 years with over 800 video testimonies on YouTube with the 20 to 40,000 customers of the Relax Sauna all pretty happy. And, we are going strong and it works. It works. It cleanses and detoxes the body. Matt - Have you had testimonials. I got questions about, “Does it help with weight loss, eczema, varicose veins, like spider veins?” You had any testimonials about those things? Phillip - All of them. We’ve had three or four different people testify that they lost 15 to 100 pounds or more. One lady said she lost a pound a week for two years. Another lady lost about 85 pounds in six months or a year, I’m not sure. Another man whom I know, and I know all these people personally, lost a lot of weight as well. He was about 300 pounds. Now he’s about 182. And, not only that, it helped transform their whole diet. See? It’s just the tip of the iceberg, You start feeling healthier. Now you have the strength. It mobilizes you to be sensitive enough that, when you eat sugar it doesn’t feel good anymore, because you’re cleansing the body. So, now, you don’t want to eat sugar. You don’t want to eat white flour. You don’t want to eat foods that are deficient in nutrients. And, so, it’s a great effectiveness in terms of spider veins, yes, we’ve had good success with it, with varicose veins. The Relax Sauna, again, it increases the microcirculation so it gets rid of diabetic ulcers. It can get rid of Mrsa We have a sister product that is the medical device. See, one of the radiators, alone, in the Relax Sauna is used in a stand-up lamp with 5 rollers on it and it’s a rollaway thing that you can put directly on a wound or a diabetic ulcer. And, this one lady who sells a $40,000 infrared sauna, she said she bought the Relax Sauna Sky Eye radiator and her mom was on antibiotics for eight months and could not get rid of the MRSA. And, in four weeks, 4 1/2 weeks, the Relax Sauna radiator, the Sky Eye Radiator which is a medical device and there are two of those radiators in the Relax Sauna but the Relax Sauna is not a medical device… OK? …so, this got rid of the MRSA and healed the wound in 4 1/2 weeks, after 8 1/2 months of antibiotics couldn’t do a thing. Matt - I’ve seen the pictures. Those are wild. Phillip - Yeah. And, diabetic ulcers and any kind of wounds, and even in the sauna, you have diabetic ulcers, you get in the sauna, if you have a large one, really large like a 2”, or a 1 1/2” oval, then just buy the radiator or try the table lamp. But the radiator is a professional model, is a medical device. You know, it’s been a medical device since 2006. And, it’s effective. The Relax Sauna radiator deserves the Nobel prize. What they did, what they accomplished, I mean, they plugged into some kind of a supernatural energy. I don’t know what they did. But, there’s no other radiator that can make you feel this good this quickly. And, it can do what it does. Matt - That’s really interesting. And, I see you have Momentum98 and you can learn more about it. You have, like, a little brochure with all of the things that it does. Sometimes you can just sit there on the couch with it. Phillip - Momentum98.com was my original health food store. And, we still have the website up since 1980. And, for people who want to know the Relax Sauna, it’s RelaxSaunas.com You’ve got a code that they can use, don’t you, on RelaxSauna.com? What’s that code? Matt - Yeah, Blackburn. Blackburn and they save 100 bucks. Phillip - Yeah, right. That will help them for economic reasons. It will also show us how effective this radio interview, well, not radio, this audio interview is. But, it’s going to make a big, big difference in your life. We give a 30-day money-back guarantee on it. And, I mean, it has transformed thousands of people’s lives and their health within a week or two. I mean people are amazed in 2, 3 days how much better they feel. And, you know that from your experiences. I mean, you told me. What did you tell me, you know, in a text the other day? Matt - Yeah, just super relaxed. I mean the name is perfect, the Relax Sauna, because that’s the main effect I feel. I think because it’s mirroring those far-infrared wavelengths back on to me. But, the relaxation effect is multiplied compared to any other sauna I’ve used, including the wooden ones. Because, I think that’s an important point to make about the big, you know… what are they? …usually hemlock wood, like Costco wooden saunas or whatever, is they’re not reflecting infrared. So, it’s just sending out from those panels. And, some of it’s hitting you, some of it’s not. Some of it’s just hitting the wood and just being absorbed, right,? It’s not reflecting back to you. So, it’s really inefficient. Phillip - Yeah. You have to be in front of the panel for it to work. So, if you’re in a wooden sauna with a window in front of you you’re not getting any far infrared in that part of your body. And, if you’re in a two-person sauna and you’re sitting way over to one side, you know, on the right side, then the left side, it’s too far away to really make the impact that you want to make. And, so, that’s one of about a dozen reasons why the Relax Sauna is more effective. I told you the story about the lady who said she had never experienced such a deep, profound sense of relaxation, having owned a wooden sauna for five years and having been in it many times. But, it’s really funny. There’s a joke that I can tell on myself. We’ve been selling the Relax Sauna at shows for about 8 years. This is about 10 years ago, and I asked one lady how she felt after she got out. And, she said, “Relaxed. And, then, 8 minutes later, I asked another lady who got out next, “How do you feel?” “Relaxed.” And then, still, hadn’t had an impression yet. When the third lady, 8 minutes later, came out and I said, “How do you feel?” And, she said, “Relaxed.” I said, “Oh shit, that’s why they call it the Relax Sauna! I never put two and two together. But, that’s sort of funny. Matt - That’s hilarious. Sometime’s it’s just that easy. Phillip- Dr. Young, Robert O. Young keeps calling it the Real Sauna because it is real. It actually is real. Matt - I love it. Someone asked, ”Is it easy to fold up and put away between sessions?" They said they don’t have much space but it doesn’t take up that much space anyway. I have it in a corner in my bathroom. Phillip- 2’8” by 2‘9“. But, if you do Beat the Clock on me, I can tear it down in 55 seconds. Matt - That’s awesome. Phillip - It takes about 2 to 3 minutes for me to pop it up and get it all set. And, about 55 seconds or a minute to tear it down, but that’s going at it really breakneck speed or whatever you want to say, but it’s really fast. It pops right up. I got a video on YouTube of me setting it up and tearing it down in about 2 or 3 of them in about 10 years ago. Matt - Awesome. And, is it important for the head to sweat, someone asked? Phillip - The head’s going to sweat with your head out. That’s the first thing that starts sweating. I’ve got pictures of people at the booth and they’ve got so much sweat, you know, especially bald men you can tell on, I mean the sweat is just pouring. I mean, and their heads out. And, again, I like to say, we are pro-choice. We are the only green sauna because we circulate the light because of the mirrors. And, we are the pro-choice sauna because we give you the choice to put your head in or out. Even if you’re 6’-6” tall, you can still duck your head, you know, maybe for 3 or 4 minutes. And, then you say, “Okay.” See, it will take 10 minutes for your sinuses to clear, but if you stick your head in, in two minutes it will clear. Matt - I have experienced that. Definitely. I don’t know if this question is applicable, but what temperature does it heat to? Phillip - That’s a great question, again, the fear-mongering thing comes in. A doctor will say that you want it to be 105°, you want it to be 100°, you want it to be 130°, you want it to be 140°, oh, you need it to be 170°. No, you want to be comfortable. Maybe in the Finnish sauna, you want to get to be hot. But in a far-infrared sauna, the increase of core temperature, that’s where the magic happens. And, so, like I said, when you’re in the sauna and you’re too hot after 22 minutes, we have, I call it STC, sophisticated temperature control. You unzip the zipper. And, you find a temperature that you’re comfortable at. Now, I would say that within the first 3 to 5 minutes, your temperature in the Relax Sauna is between 130° and 140°. And, I have experienced, slowly but surely, it will creep up there and get to be 150°, 160°. And, you know, and it can get up to 169° OK? But, that’s too hot for me, you know, and so, you just unzip the zipper and make sure you’re comfortable. And that’s the best thing. You want to be comfortable and then the magic of the increasing of the core temperature, that does the magic. So, if you’re too hot, unzip the zipper. And, the temperature does get up to a 130°, 140°. A lot of the people want it to get there but you don’t need to be a lot hotter. And, the temperature in the sauna is almost like a distraction. It does not matter what the outside temperature is. Now, maybe, in 1% of the instances it does, you know, I could be wrong, but, I currently believe. And, I’m not attached to any belief that I have. You know, in every belief, if you have the letters L I E, so in every b e l i e f, there is a lie in every belief. It is only a temporary truth because belief is temporary. It means you don’t know. And, I am into knowingness and the only knowingness you have is in the present moment connecting to that still small voice within you and THAT knows everything. And, that’s what you truly are. Matt - Awesome. Alright, Phil, last question, any warnings? Are saunas safe for young children, women that are pregnant, anything to be careful with? Phillip - There was a Finnish study that came out and I was so grateful. It finally came out and said that pregnant women are okay in saunas. And, you know, the first year we were selling Relax Saunas, one lady came to the booth and said, “Boy, I did it through my whole pregnancy. It was great. The baby came out super, super healthy.” And in everywhere you read, and, even the naturopathic doctors, even the functional medicine doctors, they’re all brainwashed to believe that if you’re pregnant you shouldn’t go into a sauna. And, I don’t know, where in the world, that came from. But, I did discover, many, many years ago, that the only thing that’s the safe thing for you to do when you’re pregnant is to sit on your bed and twiddle your thumbs. Because everything else is dangerous. And, the lawyers have gotten into everything. I would say, consult your doctor and, hopefully, you have an alternative doctor. And, do it gingerly. If you love saunas. And, you’ve been doing saunas for years and you’re pregnant. Well, why change? Now, if you have never done saunas, see, no company wants to be blamed for a miscarriage. No company would want to be blamed for a miscarriage so, as long as you accept responsibility and you listen to your body and do it gingerly, you should be okay. But, again, I’m not saying and would never say that you can do it. I’m saying that a Finnish study showed that you could. And, that would be fine. And, the far-infrared is a whole lot safer than a Finnish sauna because it also increases core temperature. As for little kids, I say the Relax Sauna is good for anybody from age 1 to 100. And, if you’re 105, probably it’s still good. We go to Autism Conferences. We’ve probably been to 4 or 5 and the kids go in. They sit on their mom’s lap. They sit on their dad‘s lap. They’re age 3 or 4 or 5, age 8, 9, 10. You know, you don’t have to do a full sweat. They can go in for 5 or 10 minutes. They can keep the zipper open. We have two switches. We have high dose and low dose. With one switch on, only one of the radiators is on. And, you could have the left radiator or the right radiator. Or, I always put them both on. But, if I went to meditate and not be brought back into my body, I’ll put one radiator on. And, I’ll be able to meditate for 25 minutes. But, if I meditate and I get out after 8, 10 minutes, I come back because it’s too hot. So, you can just put one radiator on and do a 25-minute meditation in there. It’s really not meditation. It’s a contemplation. Most people have no clue what meditation is. But, it’s sitting still, getting to that point where you feel grounded and then, from there, do things that can you into higher states of consciousness. We could always go into that later. Matt - Awesome. Also, Phil, I really appreciate your time, and all of your knowledge and sharing your wisdom and expertise. I really think you have the best sauna out there. And, I really think it’s a place to start with health because I get messages every day, like people pretty much for medical advice. I say I can’t give that but I would do, what I recommend, where I started was start sweating. And, get a shower filter. Drink clean water that I have on my website. But, start with water. And, sweating is related to water. So, if someone just focuses on the water aspect of their life, their life will massively improve in all areas. Phillip - Well, Dr. Jerry Pollock discovered that light actually makes the water, the fourth phase of water, the light, and the far-infrared light is actually the most effective light for getting the water molecules to do something special. So, it’s really exciting, you know, with light. You know, like again, pure earth, pure water, pure air and pure fire. And, that’s the light of the far-infrared light. Matt - I love it. Awesome Phil. Well, stick around while I close out the show. And, thanks so much for coming on. Phillip - Great. It’s been fun. It’s been really just a delight. Matt- OK Thanks so much. Hang on while I close it out here. Phillip - And, remember, the best thing about the Relax Sauna are those side effects of joy and euphoria that are so difficult to get from another sauna. And, that’s what makes the Relax Sauna super, super special, that clarity of mind and the joy and the freedom you feel after getting out. You almost feel euphoric. Matt - Phillip Wilson, very interesting man. That was a really fun chat. I love people like that. People who are older chronologically. He’s definitely not older biologically, but chronologically older, with that attitude and, just, zest for life. That’s really inspiring to me because that’s, definitely, how I will be when I’m that age and beyond. So, Phillip Wilson, awesome guy. Really fun to talk to.

Human beings are in a situation right now where misinformation and disinformation is rampant. There are people at the top sharing false information about health knowingly, and there are also people sharing false information unknowingly. Having gone back and forth eating meat for four years and ultimately returning to animal foods, especially red meat, I can attest to the strength, endurance and stress relief that you get from it. Delving deeper into studying metabolic health, I learned that protein is just as essential as carbohydrates for fueling our metabolic fire and allowing our 37 trillion cells to generate energy. Dr. Shawn Baker is one of the people that have popularized the carnivore diet, or animal-based nutrition. For the past few years he has been pumping out content to counter all of the vegan propaganda and fake-meat-slop that is being offered to the public. It is about eating real food, which includes red meat. I believe that small family farms, or homesteading, and regenerative agriculture, is the future and the solution to many of our global problems.

There is a lot of hysteria going around right now with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2/COVID-19). Those that watch the news, whether mainstream or alternative, become further confused and spun out. Dr. Thomas Cowan recently gave a presentation talking about the connection between increased non-native electromagnetic field exposure and increased susceptibility to viral infections. I am always astounded at how many people use wireless bluetooth headphones and Apple watches. These things are completely toxic and do suppress the immune system. When we stack severe iron overload, progressive lipofuscinosis (PUFA poisoning) and fibrosis with nnEMF, we are susceptible to not only the CoronaVirus but every infectious pathogen. The doors are wide open because we aren't taking care of the foundation. In this short episode I talk about my solutions, priorities and review an interesting study showing different methods of inactivating the virus in the blood. Spoiler alert: It's not "coated" overpriced colloidal silver.
