#681: The Fasting Delusion | Christian Yordanov (Clip) · Macroaggressions

  The genocidal maniacs use famine and starvation as a tool of depopulation and population control.
• 0:12
  And right now, I think a large majority of humanity thinks, at least in the western
• 0:18
  world, thinks that we can starve ourselves to better health and we will live longer if
• 0:24
  we undergo periodic starvation.
• 0:27
  I think they made us infatuated with this idea and it doesn't hold water when you
• 0:33
  actually examine the scientific and even just the basic physiological mechanisms
• 0:37
  of how it works.
• 0:39
  It feels like a Psyop too, like if you're trying to convince people, if you're in a
• 0:43
  depopulation era and you're starving people out, I mean you could run a bunch
• 0:48
  of celebrities out there that look like skeletons, right? You could Arianna
• 0:52
  Grande and the Miley Cyrus of the world, they're going to this skeletal look for
• 0:58
  all of the people, the old simpic face and everything. They're glorifying that,
• 1:03
  right? Hunger games. I mean it feels like they were, if you're trying to
• 1:08
  genocide people, you know, eventually starve the population, make starving
• 1:13
  cool.
• 1:14
  Yeah, yeah man. That's what it looks like because again, we believe people,
• 1:23
  and look again, I'm not saying people won't get benefits with fasting.
• 1:28
  There are amazing stories of people that went on a fast, let's say 20-day fast,
• 1:33
  2-week fast, and something magical happened to their health or like they
• 1:37
  cured themselves of Lyme disease or autoimmune disease or cancer or
• 1:41
  whatever. So again, I'm not seeing those things didn't happen. I'm just
• 1:46
  saying that what else did those people do? They could have been doing 2,000
• 1:50
  other things, right? But right now, those kind of disparate cases aside,
• 1:55
  what they have infatuated us with is the story, the magical sort of fairy
• 2:01
  tales of autophagy. So you're going to starve, let's say fast, which by
• 2:07
  the way in the research in the 70s they were calling fasting starvation
• 2:11
  because that's what it is. They just rebranded the term now, but it used to
• 2:15
  be called starvation in the research because that's bloody well what it is,
• 2:19
  right? So we now think that, let's say 18 hours in, 24 hours into a fast,
• 2:25
  we are up-regulating autophagy and that's cleaning ourselves of the
• 2:29
  cellular junk. I think this is probably one of the biggest sort of myths
• 2:34
  and misconceptions about the whole process of fasting. And I think you may
• 2:38
  have heard me on my Liber Pucco presentation that autophagy was first
• 2:47
  observed at the Rockefeller Institute in the early 60s, right? So that's
• 2:54
  already a little bit of a red flag. But as I kind of discussed in the book
• 2:57
  and as I discussed in my presentation, we always, that autophagy
• 3:01
  is actually always running. So all ourselves, they're always
• 3:04
  undergoing this sort of cellular quality control process known as basal
• 3:09
  autophagy. So we call that kind of selective autophagy. We're
• 3:12
  selectively taking little organelles and, you know, misfolded proteins,
• 3:16
  whatever, and we're repurposing them, breaking them out or kind of
• 3:19
  chucking them out if they need to be, you know, excreted. Now, when you fast,
• 3:24
  and there's plenty of citations from the experts in the area in the book,
• 3:28
  when you fast, you're what you're up-regulating what is known as
• 3:32
  bulk autophagy or non-selective autophagy. And as the name suggests, what happens then is that
• 3:39
  the cell indiscriminately non-selectively breaks down parts of itself in order to survive
• 3:46
  until the next nutrient source is available. Very clearly, I showed the
• 3:53
  quotes from experts in the area. Now, what happened is in 2016, there was a dude
• 3:58
  called Yoshinori Osumi, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He discovered some
• 4:04
  mechanisms related to autophagy. So personally, I think this is not far-fetched and most of
• 4:10
  your listeners probably won't find it far-fetched. What happened around that period is somehow
• 4:18
  all the health influencers from the top-down started to talk about
• 4:22
  fasting up-regulates autophagy and that will increase our longevity. No human evidence,
• 4:27
  they found some mechanisms in them, petri dishes and stuff. No human evidence,
• 4:31
  even the animal evidence is extremely bad. I have a whole chapter on why it's terrible.
• 4:38
  The whole science, human and animal science on fasting is just laughably bad. It's just so bad.
• 4:45
  But anyway, so what happened was the disconnect there is, yes, fasting up-regulates autophagy,
• 4:51
  but what we were, what was trickled down to us by our health influencers, many of whom are
• 4:56
  not saying they're nefarious, they're just ignorantly parroting things like I used to do as well.
• 5:03
  But what happened was we were told fasting up-regulates autophagy, but what we were not told
• 5:09
  is the nuances here. And as you know, you have to make the lie big, bold and very simple.
• 5:16
  So even a farmer that can't read would be able to understand the two-word slogan
• 5:20
  on the poster with a fist and a hammer, whatever. So we were told the truth that fasting up-regulates
• 5:26
  autophagy. We were not told the nuance that that autophagy is like you have a broken, let's say,
• 5:34
  brick in your wall. And instead of hammering that little brick out and putting a little brick in
• 5:39
  there and putting a little mortar there and painting over it, whatever, instead of doing that, the
• 5:44
  fasting up-regulator autophagy takes a sledgehammer and smashes that kind of broken brick out of the wall
• 5:51
  and then you got a lot more damage you're dealing with. So that little nuance seems to have been
• 5:58
  missed and I don't know how all the big influencers seem to, not all there's in fairness, some are
• 6:03
  talking about this, but I don't know how the majority of them, especially the big ones,
• 6:09
  the really popular mainstream and alternative mainstream ones, seem to have missed that part
• 6:13
  because it's like it's not hard to find, you type a couple of things in DuckDuckGo, it comes up. The
• 6:18
  studies I have in my book, that's how I found them. Hey, thanks for watching that clip. If you
