Latest / UK Column Radio / Stephanie Seneff on avoiding sunglasses and sunscreen - Jerm Warfare
Transcript
- 0:35None. You last recorded with me, it
- 0:39must be 4 years ago, I think around 2021.
- 0:43But there was a couple of things that you said that stuck with me
- 0:46that I've never forgotten. And I think I told you this in
- 0:48an email and that was it was just in passing in fact, where
- 0:52you mentioned that you don't wear sunglasses and you don't
- 0:54wear sunscreen. Oh good, that's great.
- 0:57Yeah, I really, I just get so upset.
- 1:00I almost can't stop myself from commenting when I see a mother
- 1:04with a little 2 year old and the two year old is wearing
- 1:06sunglasses. I'm like what is matter here?
- 1:09This is so crazy because the kids really need the sunlight to
- 1:12to help their brain mature. I mean, it's so important.
- 1:16Exactly. But we have become fearful of
- 1:22the sun. I know, you know, I think the
- 1:25problem is that it's free and Farmer doesn't like things that
- 1:29are free and good for you, which is what the sun is.
- 1:32And so it claims you have to stay away from the sun and that
- 1:34makes you sick and then they can sell products.
- 1:36You know, it's I'm very cynical. They say the dermatologist will
- 1:40say stay out of the sun and take the take vitamin D, you know,
- 1:45and that's. Why would you?
- 1:46Yeah, well, I mean, why would you take a pill when you can?
- 1:48Take vitamin D as a pill instead of going out in the sunlight.
- 1:51I'm like hello? It's crazy.
- 1:55I just don't. I can't fathom why they think
- 1:58that's a good idea. I've had this conversation over
- 2:02the years now a few times with various friends about, you know,
- 2:06sunscreen and sunglasses and something that you know, comes
- 2:10up as well. Do you have peer reviewed
- 2:12science? And I, I don't, but I must also
- 2:14say the COVID era has taught me not really to trust peer
- 2:19reviewed science anyways. The entire the entire system
- 2:25can't be trusted. No, I agree.
- 2:27There is so much censorship going on and it it's so
- 2:30difficult to get things published that are that are,
- 2:33especially if they go against pharma, you know, watch out
- 2:37because pharma really guards his products very carefully.
- 2:40And if you're going to criticise its products, show them in a bad
- 2:44light. You know, you can't get it.
- 2:46It's really hard to get that published.
- 2:49Yeah. I mean, I was actually just sort
- 2:51of experimenting on myself 'cause I wasn't sure.
- 2:54It just didn't make sense to me that the sun would be bad for
- 2:56you. I mean, I don't, I don't.
- 2:58I generally like things that are really natural, you know, and
- 3:01the sun is there and it's a source of energy.
- 3:04You know, the plants can't live without the sunlight.
- 3:06They make, they, they, they use the chlorophyll.
- 3:08They, they, you know, they turn carbon dioxide into organic
- 3:11matter using the sunlight as a catalyst.
- 3:14And we use the sunlight too, in really important ways beyond the
- 3:17vitamin DI believe. And so I just believed that.
- 3:20And so I just lived that way and I didn't know what would happen
- 3:23to my eyes as I got older, right?
- 3:25Like would I have all kinds of eye problems because I was
- 3:28getting abused by sunlight? Here I am 77.
- 3:31I don't have any issues with my eyes.
- 3:32I've been I've been to the doctor recently, not even
- 3:34cataracts. And most of my friends my age
- 3:36have already had cataract surgery.
- 3:40Do you think that's related to wearing sunglasses?
- 3:42I do to not wearing sunglasses. That's what kept my eyes
- 3:45healthy. We, so here in South Africa, we
- 3:52have what's called the Kalahari Desert.
- 3:54That's just, it's just north sort of alongside Namibia just
- 3:58above the country. It's a huge, huge desert.
- 4:01But there's a wonderful game park that that we went to.
- 4:05And naturally with so much sand, you know, and so much sun, this
- 4:10was for me a great opportunity to test this.
- 4:12And so I said to her, to my wife, I'm not going to wear any
- 4:16sunscreen for this entire trip. And I'm only and I'm only taking
- 4:19my sunglasses for those moments where the sand is just
- 4:23reflecting the sun just a bit too much.
- 4:26Because I think in some, in some instances, if you can't get out
- 4:30of it, like you'd be driving in a particular direction and the
- 4:32sun is setting and you can't, you can't actually get away from
- 4:35that glare in your face. I would I would argue that
- 4:38that's probably OK. I'm not sure what.
- 4:41What do you think of that? Well, even then, I mean, I have
- 4:44to turn the visor down because the sun is coming at me and I
- 4:47can't see, you know, if I'm driving, but I don't, I don't
- 4:50wear, I don't have sunglasses handy.
- 4:51I just I just deal with it by blocking the sun with the.
- 4:55Right. Well, I, I will say that we did
- 4:58that entire trip in the desert and I had, I didn't wear any
- 5:01sunscreen and I didn't get sunburned.
- 5:03That's so great. Well, you have pretty dark skin
- 5:05naturally. I think it's really crazy, you
- 5:07know, dark skinned people wearing sunscreen doesn't make
- 5:09any sense to me because you have that natural protection from the
- 5:13dark skin, the melanin in your skin.
- 5:17Now that's an interesting thought, Stephanie.
- 5:20So, so I mean, my ancestors come from Europe, but you know,
- 5:24because I'm African, I have a more olive skin, I suppose.
- 5:27But in the sort of more Scandinavian areas, people are
- 5:33exceptionally white and. That's also because they're up
- 5:36north. Actually, it's interesting
- 5:38because people who live who, whose ancestors lived in a in a
- 5:42place that has a lot of sun tend to be dark.
- 5:44And then people who live in places up north tend to be
- 5:47light. And that's actually a genetic
- 5:50evolutionary process because you want to get as much sun as you
- 5:54can when there's very little to be had.
- 5:56So people who live up north have very light skin in order to be
- 5:59able to absorb more sunlight, you know, but if you put someone
- 6:05like that in, so for example, in Australia, there's a lot of
- 6:07light skinned people live in Australia and they, and there's
- 6:10a pretty intense sun could be tricky there.
- 6:12I think 'cause your, your ancestry isn't supporting living
- 6:16where you're living. So I think you do have to be
- 6:17careful in that respect. If you're in a place that's
- 6:20really sunny, like at the equator, and you came from
- 6:23ancestors that lived up north, then maybe you're not equipped
- 6:26to deal with extreme sun. So I certainly don't think you
- 6:30should just burn, you know, And some people say I can't tan, I
- 6:32just burn. And certainly it's not good for
- 6:35you to burn your skin and to the point of peeling, you know.
- 6:37But you don't need to wear sunscreen.
- 6:40You can do what the Arabs do and you can wear, you know, long
- 6:44cotton. Outfits and that's much better,
- 6:46yes. Because if you think about it,
- 6:49what is sunscreen? It's some sort of chemical
- 6:51concoction that you rubbing into your body.
- 6:53Stuff in there, it's got aluminium actually, and it
- 6:55absorbs through the skin and aluminium is extremely toxic.
- 6:59So I would, I mean, I hate sunscreen actually.
- 7:01I really feel it's a big mistake.
- 7:05Do you think there is a link between skin cancer or or cancer
- 7:09in general and sunscreen? Well, it's interesting because
- 7:12actually people who have breast cancer and who are and in the
- 7:17summertime get a lot of sun exposure, they do better in
- 7:19terms of dealing with the cancer.
- 7:20The sunlight helps them to deal with the cancer.
- 7:23People think of the sun causes cancer and they stopped there,
- 7:26but the sun actually protects from cancer, from all kinds of
- 7:29cancers. And then if you have cancer,
- 7:31it's a good idea to get a lot of sunlight to help you heal the
- 7:34cancer. Do you think the sun can cause
- 7:38skin cancer? Yeah, I think it probably can.
- 7:41And especially, by the way, if you're exposed to toxic
- 7:43chemicals. And that's one of the things I'm
- 7:45concerned about with glyphosate, which, you know, I have my book
- 7:47here. See if I can hold it up.
- 7:50Toxic legacy, how the weed killer glyphosate is destroying
- 7:54our health and the environment. So glyphosate disrupts the
- 7:57shipmate pathway in the plants and also in the microbes in your
- 8:01gut. And shipmate pathway produces
- 8:03aromatic amino acids and those aromatics are precursors to
- 8:07melanin, the skin tanning agent. So when I think when you have a
- 8:10lot of glyphosate exposure, your melanin levels go down and
- 8:14that's why you can't tan too, because you don't have enough
- 8:16melanin. That's because the melanin is
- 8:18sourced from the pathway in the gut that's disrupted by
- 8:21glyphosate. So what you're saying is that
- 8:26the sun can cause cancer? And especially if you're exposed
- 8:28to chemicals like glyphosate that disrupt your natural
- 8:31ability to protect yourself. I mean, that's the trick.
- 8:34The toxic chemicals are really twisting our minds because they
- 8:37are causing problems that shouldn't exist.
- 8:41If you're just living naturally, your your problem exists because
- 8:45you're exposed to the toxic chemicals which are disrupting
- 8:47your natural mechanisms to handle the situation.
- 8:50What did people do 1000 years ago?
- 8:52What were the Viking? I mean, they were Scandinavians.
- 8:54What were they doing? They were in the same sort of
- 8:56sun. Right.
- 8:57I mean, people in the old times were outside all the time, you
- 9:00know, and even the Africans in the heat of the Sahara Desert,
- 9:03you know, I mean, sunscreen didn't exist back then or
- 9:08sunglasses. I'm sure they just went without
- 9:10they and they were outdoors most of the time.
- 9:12So how did they cope? And that's why I feel these
- 9:14things are weird to say that this is natural to slap slabber
- 9:18yourself with sunscreen and to wear sunglasses.
- 9:21If that's natural, it doesn't make any sense to me.
- 9:23So I'm very much into natural, you know, and I don't even like
- 9:27to take supplements. There's a lot of issues with
- 9:29supplements. And I don't take any
- 9:32pharmaceutical drugs, you know, I'm like really pure.
- 9:34But then I'm happy to expose myself to the sun.
- 9:38So one of my guests is a gentleman by the name of David
- 9:42Resnick, a fantastic scientist in the field of, of, of cancer
- 9:48and, and HIV AIDS. And he he actually stated that
- 9:54cancer, in his view, didn't really exist 1000 years ago.
- 9:59That's interesting, right? But as you say, as I said, they
- 10:02didn't have glyphosate back then.
- 10:04Yeah, I think the chemical industry is a nightmare.
- 10:07I really feel like we are down a very diabolical pathway right
- 10:12now as a as a species. And we are, we have this
- 10:16incredible power in the chemistry lab to make all these
- 10:19exotic things. And then we feed them to people.
- 10:22You know, we create all these exotic drugs and, and all these
- 10:26herbicides and insecticides and fungicides, you know, and then
- 10:30we don't mind eating the food that's contaminated,
- 10:32contaminated with all these things.
- 10:34And anything that's not natural to me is dangerous, any
- 10:37chemical. And, and, and we are going wild
- 10:39with these chemicals. There's so many new ones
- 10:41appearing every day, you know, and, and with inadequate testing
- 10:46for sure of what that chemical might do to the body.
- 10:50And so, and when people study foods, you know, there's all
- 10:52these papers that study different foods and different
- 10:54kinds of fats and everything. They never worry about what are
- 10:58the toxic chemicals in those different choices.
- 11:00So if you have two different fats that you're experimenting
- 11:02with, one of which is contaminated with glyphosate and
- 11:05the other one isn't, and you're looking at whether saturated
- 11:07versus unsaturated, you're missing the point.
- 11:09Because the reason why the one is not doing well is because of
- 11:13the chemical that's in it, not because of the kind of fat that
- 11:15it is. So they get all mixed up on
- 11:17these. Nobody can figure it out with
- 11:19the fats because they're not paying attention to this aspect
- 11:23of the fat that's more important than the fat itself, which is
- 11:25what kind of toxic chemicals are a big issue with foods is
- 11:29whether it's, to what degree is it processed and you want to
- 11:33have minimally processed foods in your diet.
- 11:35I mean, I have certain, I, I actually have a whole profile
- 11:38of, we have all these different people who have different
- 11:40opinions about diet. It's so amazing.
- 11:42In fact, there's a group right now that I'm in an email
- 11:45discussion where there are people who think that vegetables
- 11:49are awesome and you should be vegetarian.
- 11:51And then there are people who think, oh, vegetables are
- 11:52terrible and you should only eat fats, you know, and they're
- 11:55fighting with each other. Each one is making, trying to
- 11:57make their case why they're right and the other one's wrong.
- 12:00It's so interesting, you know, that you've got all these diets
- 12:03and, and nobody can figure out which one's right.
- 12:06Even after all these years and all these papers, we still don't
- 12:09know, right? It's amazing.
- 12:11I mean, I have my own opinion and I can tell you what I eat
- 12:13and, and what I believe in. And so number one is no
- 12:18chemicals. Certified organic.
- 12:20Absolutely #1 #2 is fermented foods.
- 12:23And I really love dairy. Fermented dairy is fantastic and
- 12:27high fat dairy, not low fat dairy.
- 12:29I never have bought low fat dairy or even, you know, low
- 12:31fat, non fat. I won't buy it my whole life,
- 12:34always fat in the dairy. And I love cream, you know,
- 12:37whipped cream, ice cream, yoghurt, they're all good.
- 12:42And butter, of course, butter is fantastic.
- 12:45And so, so I like dairy a lot and I like high fat diet and
- 12:50particularly animal based fats. And I think seafoods are super
- 12:54healthy. So clams, oysters, crab meat,
- 12:58fish, you know, scallops, all of those really, really, really
- 13:03healthy foods. And then and then grass fed
- 13:06beef, you know, organic chicken, those are all good.
- 13:09So I, you know, I'm not carnivore and I'm not
- 13:12vegetarian. I like a lot of cruciferous
- 13:14vegetables because they have sulphur and also onions and
- 13:17garlic, also good sulphur sources.
- 13:20Though I, I really believe in getting an adequate amount of
- 13:22sulphur in your diet. So I look for fermented foods,
- 13:26sulphur high fat, plenty of animal based foods, both fat and
- 13:32protein and then cruciferous vegetables and then salads.
- 13:36Every day I have a salad and and then vinegar of course is a
- 13:39fermented food. So you know, in the salad
- 13:41dressing. So that's kind of my formula.
- 13:45I go hunting once, maybe once or twice a year.
- 13:49Cool. And I think that's pretty,
- 13:51pretty much as close as you're going to get to to natural meat.
- 13:55Right, yes. And then so you eat the meat
- 13:59that you want, is that right? For sure, Yeah.
- 14:01Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 14:03But it's not, I mean, it's game and I find that game tends to be
- 14:08quite lean, so. So I'm not a big fan of that.
- 14:13I also like more fat. Right, Yeah, yeah, I totally
- 14:16agree with that. I think it's saturated.
- 14:18Fat got demonised so well way back when, and people have a
- 14:23hard time forgetting that, you know, or they feel very
- 14:26sceptical if someone says, Oh yeah, it's fine, don't worry
- 14:28about it. They don't believe it, you know,
- 14:31because they've been brainwashed for so long to think that
- 14:33saturated fat is bad. And and then there's all this
- 14:37issue about Omega threes versus Omega 6.
- 14:39You know, Doctor Mercola has been really big on Omega 6.
- 14:42Fats are terrible lately. He's totally hung up on that.
- 14:46And that puzzles me also because I don't agree with him.
- 14:49You know, both omega-3 and Omega six are OK, but then saturated
- 14:54is the best because it can't be oxidised.
- 14:57And oxidised fats are bad and they get oxidised in part
- 15:00because of the toxic chemical exposure.
- 15:02So you're kind of back there again.
- 15:05I wonder if we get caught up in that analysis paralysis thing.
- 15:12I mean, again, like I said earlier, 1000 years ago they
- 15:14didn't know about amigas and and saturated fats and whatever.
- 15:17They just ate and generally quite naturally, and I forget
- 15:22who it was now. Someone on my show said the
- 15:24fewer the ingredients the better.
- 15:26Right. That's a good, a good algorithm.
- 15:28If you see like a soy protein bar and it's got all these
- 15:30chemical ingredients, you know, don't buy it, right?
- 15:33I would not. I never ate soy protein bars
- 15:36even when I didn't know about the toxic chemicals in the food.
- 15:39It just didn't seem natural, you know, So I've always gone for
- 15:41Whole Foods. When you talk about being as
- 15:47natural as possible, one of the one of the topics that's taboo
- 15:51is, you know, shower products like your shampoos and your
- 15:54soaps and things. Yeah, those are hard.
- 15:57I really, I really have a hard time with with shampoos.
- 16:00Whenever I I need shampoo, I go to the store and I look at all
- 16:04these things and I'm like, I don't like any of them.
- 16:05You know, they have a huge number of ingredients in them.
- 16:08I wouldn't mind, you know, just using egg or something, which I
- 16:11don't do. I mean, I do buy one of the sort
- 16:13of herbal shampoos, but I'm not happy with it, you know?
- 16:18And I've actually tried to wash my hair less frequently because
- 16:21of that, because I just don't think they're good.
- 16:25Yes, but where did we get this idea that we must wash our hair
- 16:27every two or three days? Yeah, right.
- 16:30Sometimes people do it every day, you know.
- 16:33And I mean your hair has natural stuff and and then every time
- 16:37you wash. A journal away, I think that's
- 16:39probably not good. Yes, I've come to that
- 16:41conclusion myself to to wash your hair less frequently.
- 16:45And the thing with sunglasses that, that, that I thought a lot
- 16:50about after you mentioned it on my show, is it, it may well, as
- 16:55I said earlier, maybe question firstly, why am I wearing
- 16:57sunglasses? And #2 it made me realise what
- 17:00the full light spectrum actually is.
- 17:02And what you're doing is that you're, you're restricting it.
- 17:05Exactly. Yes.
- 17:08And, you know, it's one of those cases where there's a simple
- 17:10message that seems clear to say UV light is dangerous, you know,
- 17:15for your eyes and you need to protect yourself from UV light.
- 17:18And you can do that by buying me sunglasses.
- 17:21And I, the sunglass company will make a lot of money if you do
- 17:23that. So I, I, it's in my interest to
- 17:25make you believe that I'm right about that.
- 17:30Stephanie, I don't know if you changed during the COVID era or
- 17:36if you've always been kind of on the on the vanguard of of
- 17:41critical thinking, but would you go back to 2019?
- 17:46Would I like to go back to 2019? What do you mean by that?
- 17:52So I change my views on a lot of things.
- 17:55Since the whole COVID thing started, it made me question
- 18:00everything and I would not like to go back to 2019 as a result
- 18:05because. I feel you've matured because of
- 18:07your experience with COVID, right?
- 18:09Yes. So that's kind of what I'm
- 18:10asking you. Yeah, well, for sure, although I
- 18:12was already most of the way there by then.
- 18:16COVID, the COVID vaccine convinced me that it convinced
- 18:20me that all vaccines are bad. I mean, I was moving in that
- 18:22direction already. And once the COVID vaccine came
- 18:25on the market, I was like done with vaccines, you know, it, it
- 18:29became very clear to me. COVID was so horrible.
- 18:32The COVID vaccine and the way they forced it down our throats,
- 18:36it was just awful. I could not believe that it was
- 18:40happening. Even I, you know, I remember
- 18:41back when they had warp speed, they were just trying to develop
- 18:44it really fast with Trump was the president and, and that was
- 18:48before the vaccine existed. They were going to just like
- 18:50roll it out of the market really fast.
- 18:51And I and they mRNA technology and I immediately started
- 18:55researching the mRNA technology as soon as I heard about the
- 18:59fact that they were developing this.
- 19:00And I remember at the time I thought, well, there's no way
- 19:03that they're going to mandate this vaccine.
- 19:05You know, they, they may put it on the market prematurely,
- 19:09having not studied enough, but they won't force us to get it.
- 19:12They can't possibly force us to get it.
- 19:14And then there I was at MIT mandated COVID vaccine.
- 19:19I was so shocked, you know, and I was like, I'm not getting that
- 19:22vaccine. So I, I crafted a religious
- 19:24exemption, did my best to argue a religious exemption, submitted
- 19:28it and they granted it, which was really fortunate.
- 19:31I was afraid they wouldn't and I thought I'd have to go on unpaid
- 19:33leave. They granted it on the condition
- 19:36that I don't show up at work. I work from home all the time.
- 19:39And, and that's why I sold my house and moved to Hawaii.
- 19:43So that was kind of a benefit, a side benefit of, of, of the
- 19:47mandate for me was that I, I got to move to Hawaii and I'm still
- 19:50working for MIT remotely. That's amazing because I know a
- 19:57lot of people who lost their jobs because they thought.
- 20:00That they had denied that. I'm grateful to MIT, that they
- 20:03accepted my religious exemption request.
- 20:05So yeah, I would have. Lost, but I mean, it's sad that
- 20:09it came to that it. Was crazy.
- 20:12What do you think was going on, Stephanie?
- 20:15Well, I felt actually I figured out early on, I suspected that
- 20:19the whole point of the whole storyline was to get the mRNA
- 20:23technology out the door because they were very, they had a lot
- 20:26of hype around the mRNA technology, you know, so
- 20:28nanoparticles and this way of delivering and they could see it
- 20:32as a potential for cancer therapy.
- 20:34They just had dollar signs in their eyes.
- 20:35They were like so delighted with this technology, except for the
- 20:39fact that it was very difficult to get it approved because if
- 20:42you studied it, you found out it had a lot of nasty problems.
- 20:46So if you can have a emergency situation and kind of go wink,
- 20:50wink, bypass all those steps and just throw it out on the market
- 20:53and then give it to the whole world, this gets complete buy
- 20:56in. If everybody's happy with it,
- 20:58you know, now everybody's like, Oh yeah, mRNA technology, that's
- 21:01fantastic. Let's get some of those cats
- 21:02cancer vaccines out there, you know.
- 21:04So it was a an opportunity to exploit the emergency, the so
- 21:10called emergency situation to get that technology out the
- 21:14door. And then they kind of succeeded,
- 21:16except that they've got a huge number of people like me who
- 21:18think it's extremely toxic, who would never go near that vaccine
- 21:22and who continue to study it and continue to get even more
- 21:25alarmed about what they're seeing, you know?
- 21:28But Stephanie, trust the science.
- 21:31Right. I think a lot of people, and
- 21:35it's interesting actually how much I've predicted this way
- 21:38back when, when COVID, when the vaccine was coming out and
- 21:41people were all happy to get it, except for some people like me
- 21:45who were fighting it like crazy. I predicted that that vaccine
- 21:51would actually set back all the vaccines as far as their
- 21:54willingness, people's willingness to accept them
- 21:56because we've really been parents have been brainwashed
- 21:59into thinking that children can't live without all those
- 22:01vaccines. They get like 72 different
- 22:04immunizations over the course of childhood.
- 22:06It's insane these days. The number of vaccines in the
- 22:08United States has gone up incredibly, probably
- 22:11exponentially it since 1986 when they passed that law that got
- 22:16the vaccine industry off the hook for any, you know, any, any
- 22:20time the vaccine is mandated for the kids in school.
- 22:23It doesn't matter what happens with the vaccine.
- 22:26The industry is not responsible. They can't get sued.
- 22:29And that is a big boon for the, for the Pharmaceutical industry.
- 22:31So they love vaccines 'cause they can just, you know, go
- 22:34ahead and kill kids. There's no problem for them as
- 22:37far as financials are concerned, you know, and then all the
- 22:43disinformation, I would call it trying to convince parents that
- 22:47these vaccines are so essential and, you know, and so wonderful.
- 22:51I mean, this idea that they're, that if you didn't get those
- 22:54vaccines, might you die of smallpox, you know, or polio or,
- 22:58or diphtheria. I mean, there are all these
- 22:59diseases that you're going to get if you don't get those
- 23:01vaccines. They people really got convinced
- 23:04that you had to have the vaccines in order to protect
- 23:06your child from those diseases that in fact can kill you.
- 23:09It's certainly true. But the vaccine can kill you
- 23:12too. And I know that from the various
- 23:14databases, the vaccine adverse event reporting systems, and
- 23:16especially the COVID vaccine, it is extremely toxic.
- 23:20And so, and that's coming out. I think it, it, things are
- 23:24changing right now. Fewer and fewer people are
- 23:26willing to get their 7th or 8th booster shot.
- 23:28You know, for COVID, people are, are waking up, more people are
- 23:32waking up. And then they're going on to
- 23:33question the childhood vaccines as a consequence of the COVID
- 23:37nightmare. And in fact, Florida has now,
- 23:40I'm so pleased with the state of Florida, they have dropped the
- 23:42mandates. I'm really eager to see how that
- 23:45moves forward because they're saying, you know, they still
- 23:48recommend all these vaccines for the kids.
- 23:51And you go to your doctor and you can tell your doctor, look,
- 23:53I don't want my kid to have the vaccine.
- 23:55And that's fine. You know, you can still go to
- 23:56school. I mean, that is so awesome to me
- 23:59because there will be parents one by one who decide, you know
- 24:04what, I'm just not going to vaccinate my kids, period.
- 24:07And we'll see what happens, you know, And so it's an experiment
- 24:09under way and we will see. I mean, will they all start, you
- 24:13know, dying of horrible diseases?
- 24:15I don't think so, because I think it's more a matter of
- 24:17keeping your immune system healthy.
- 24:19And that is the sunlight. Sunlight is really great for the
- 24:22immune system. So get your kids out in the sun,
- 24:25you know, and make sure they're exercising, give them good
- 24:28nutrition. And they won't, if they catch
- 24:31measles, they're not going to die.
- 24:32You know, it probably won't even have a, a severe case as long as
- 24:35they've got a strong immune system.
- 24:36So it's more important to, to keep yourself healthy through
- 24:40natural living than it is to, to, to talk to, to eject all
- 24:45these toxic chemicals into your body.
- 24:46I mean, the vaccines, all of them are toxic.
- 24:50Well, I was asking you about going back to 2019.
- 24:54If you had asked me about childhood vaccines like the MMR
- 24:58shot, if you'd asked me about that in 2019 or even 2020, I
- 25:02would have said yeah, for sure, definitely in the time that you
- 25:07and I spoke last to now my son was born and he's not
- 25:11vaccinated. Oh, good for you.
- 25:13I'm so pleased you did the right.
- 25:15You made the right choice. And in fact, I took it one step
- 25:19further. He I didn't want him to get
- 25:22vitamin K and my wife looked into it and agreed.
- 25:24So he didn't even get vitamin K. Good.
- 25:27Yeah, because that one's got aluminium in it, I think.
- 25:30And people don't even think about vitamin K.
- 25:32They, they, they focus on the vaccines and they forget that.
- 25:36I think actually in the US, in the in, in many states of the
- 25:41US, you, you can't say no to vitamin K.
- 25:43Yeah, that may be I'm not sure, but that it would that wouldn't
- 25:46surprise me. And that is crazy.
- 25:48That is so crazy that you have to take that you have to give
- 25:52your your infant, you know, something like that again, you
- 25:56know, I. Had no idea.
- 25:57Yeah, well, I had no idea what the reasons behind it were.
- 26:00And I thought, well, it's, it's just seems like it's a vitamin.
- 26:02It's just harmless. But it turns out that it has to
- 26:05do with the fact that most births now happen in hospital
- 26:09and they don't allow the for the process to occur.
- 26:13You know the they cut the umbilical cord too quickly and
- 26:17so then they need a blood thickening agent.
- 26:20That's very interesting. I bet you're right.
- 26:22Yeah. Everything's rash, rash, rash,
- 26:23Right? So you should wait until the
- 26:27blood from the mother has finished flowing.
- 26:29And the umbilical cord is so important and so much, so many
- 26:33nutrients. I'm sure all kinds of
- 26:35interesting things come in in that last moment before it
- 26:38severed. And you certainly would want to
- 26:39wait until you know everything has happened for sure.
- 26:43That makes so much sense. Oh, you have to make a very good
- 26:45point there. And that may be what's
- 26:47triggering the problem with the vitamin K, the need for the
- 26:49vitamin K because of that. I like that theory.
- 26:52That's nice. Well, I I didn't devise that
- 26:55myself. I wish I could claim that, but
- 26:57that that came from a bunch of OBGYN's that I spoke to.
- 27:00Oh. That's great that they knew that
- 27:02and they were willing to wait then and let everything happen
- 27:06unfold naturally. That's great.
- 27:08That's great. And a lot of issues, perhaps
- 27:12later on in life could be triggered already from that
- 27:16moment. Right.
- 27:17I know it's so important. You know, what happens in utero
- 27:21also is very important and the mother's exposures during
- 27:24pregnancy. And that's where I get really
- 27:26upset about all the vaccines that they give to pregnant women
- 27:29these days. They seem to think it's
- 27:31perfectly fine to give them all these vaccines which are going
- 27:34to go directly into the foetus. You know, the placenta doesn't
- 27:38necessarily keep things out and, and, and, and of course, any
- 27:42drugs the mother's taking, they're all day.
- 27:44And of course, glyphosate exposure in utero really bad,
- 27:47you know. When my wife was pregnant, the
- 27:52the Guyani said to her, you must, you must remember now.
- 27:56You must get a flu shot. While she's pregnant, you must
- 27:59get one right? Yeah, yeah.
- 28:01And, and she and she just, she just nodded.
- 28:04But when we left, she said there's no chance that that's
- 28:06happening. And then guess what happened?
- 28:08She changed Guyanese. Good for her.
- 28:12That's so crazy. Yeah.
- 28:13They they they have this kind of mentality that because the flu
- 28:17could be bad if you catch the flu while you're pregnant, which
- 28:19is probably true. But The thing is, if you get the
- 28:21vaccine, you're guaranteed to get the toxins that are in the
- 28:24vaccine. If you if you take it while
- 28:26you're pregnant. How can that be good?
- 28:28You know, so you're getting a guaranteed exposure to protect
- 28:31you from a maybe exposure. I mean, I never get the flu, so
- 28:34I haven't had it for like decades.
- 28:36And I don't, I, I never got a flu shot my whole life, you
- 28:39know, whereas other people my age are pretty routinely every
- 28:42year another flu shot, you know? Well so my son is 14 months old
- 28:48and he's never been sick and his friends who are more or less the
- 28:51same age as as him multiple sicknesses and most of them have
- 28:56been jabbed with the MMR shot. Yeah.
- 28:59Well, have you seen the data? I mean, there's several papers
- 29:01now that have come out comparing vax versus unvax kids in the
- 29:06United States. And of course some of those
- 29:08papers got retracted because the industry just jumps right all
- 29:11over you if you if you show the vaccines in a bad light.
- 29:14But the papers were stunning. There's a, a paper that looked
- 29:17at, there was one clinic that, that had a lot of patients over
- 29:21the years and they were popular because of with people who
- 29:25didn't get the kids vaccinated because they were willing to not
- 29:28vaccinate. And so they had a nice
- 29:30collection of data for kids who had no vaccines and kids who had
- 29:33some vaccines and kids who got all the vaccines on schedule.
- 29:36You know, different groups of kids.
- 29:38But when they compared the kids, they were totally unvaccinated
- 29:41with the rest of them. Huge differences in things like
- 29:44ear infections and you know, various allergies and eczema,
- 29:50asthma, all these things that are autoimmune disease related
- 29:54and ADHD and autism. All these things were much, much
- 29:57higher in the vaccinated group compared to the unvaccinated.
- 30:00They were so healthy. And you know, they basically,
- 30:04and this was looking at well, baby visits.
- 30:05I mean, they looked at sick baby visits.
- 30:07So basically they, they took the, the data was based on the
- 30:11number of visits that, that they showed up for with things like
- 30:14ear infection instead of just showing for a checkup, you know,
- 30:17where they often get vaccines at the checkup when the child was
- 30:20actually sick and therefore called the doctor.
- 30:23That's what they were looking at.
- 30:24Those data showed that the vaccinated kids were sick much,
- 30:28much more often with the ear infections and those sorts of
- 30:30things. They just basically had a
- 30:32weakened immune system because the vaccines, the vaccines, you
- 30:36know, will protect you against one disease or maybe sometimes 3
- 30:40diseases at the same time, making your immune system
- 30:43generically less capable of handling everything else.
- 30:46I think that's what I think the vaccines set you back on your
- 30:49innate immunity every time you get a vaccine.
- 30:52And so by the time you've gotten all those vaccines, your immune
- 30:54system is basically, you know, really, really disturbed in
- 30:58terms of the ability to just fight off anything that comes
- 31:00along. But so are you saying that
- 31:05vaccines do work? Well, they if they can develop,
- 31:09they can cause you to develop antibodies.
- 31:11With antibodies is never a good solution in my opinion.
- 31:13I think that your body develops antibodies to the, to the
- 31:17antigens that are in the in the virus because the innate immune
- 31:23system couldn't handle the disease.
- 31:24So if you have a a severe case of measles, your body will
- 31:28develop antibodies to help fight it off.
- 31:30It's, it's a, it's a backup system because you're in innate
- 31:33immunity is too weak to to handle it.
- 31:36If you clear the disease naturally without having to have
- 31:40anything specific, your body doesn't bother to develop
- 31:43antibodies. But when you get a, a severe
- 31:46case of the disease, then the antibodies come into play and
- 31:49they will remember that disease and then be ready to fight again
- 31:53if it comes again. So that's a kind of protection
- 31:55that is put in place in the body only for the backup system for
- 31:59when the innate immune system isn't good enough to handle it.
- 32:02That's what's working with natural systems.
- 32:05But with the vaccines, you're basically forcing you to choose
- 32:09the antibody approach because you, you know, you've bypassed
- 32:13all the mucosal membranes. You've got it injected into the
- 32:16body beyond the membranes. And so it looks like this, this
- 32:20virus has breached the barriers and therefore you need to get
- 32:24the antibodies going to put, you know, to protect you from this
- 32:26fake virus, which is actually the vaccine.
- 32:29It forces you to make those antibodies.
- 32:31It forces you to take a step that is beyond what you would
- 32:34normally do with innate immunity.
- 32:36You see what I'm trying to say here?
- 32:37That's a little complicated, but I believe that the, the, the,
- 32:42the vaccines make your immune immune system choose the
- 32:46alternative pathway that normally only happens when your
- 32:49immune system is too weak to handle it.
- 32:51And so, and then those antibodies have all kinds of
- 32:53risk for causing autoimmune disease because you get
- 32:56molecular mimicry and these antibodies to the virus can end
- 32:59up attacking human proteins and causing disease.
- 33:02You know, and that's how you get things like eczema and asthma
- 33:05and and even, you know, multiple sclerosis, I mean some really
- 33:08nasty auto autoimmune, rheumatoid arthritis, all these
- 33:12things and inflammatory bowel, you know, you have all kinds of
- 33:15celiac disease. It's just a huge list of of
- 33:18autoimmune diseases that happen because the antibodies are
- 33:23attacking the human proteins by mistake.
- 33:25Do you think COVID was a real thing?
- 33:28Well, I think it was probably a lab escape.
- 33:30And then the question is whether it was intentional or natural.
- 33:33I remember going through that whole period wanting to know
- 33:36what is the truth here and reading all these different
- 33:39papers and trying to sort it out.
- 33:41It was a wild ride. It was so amazing to realise
- 33:46finally to become convinced that it was a lab escape.
- 33:49And, and so then and then also what was the lab doing?
- 33:52You know, so there's like layers of questions that end up you're
- 33:56being puzzled over choice X or choice Y and you don't know
- 34:00which one's right. So like if they were working
- 34:04with these viruses and ended up producing this gain of function
- 34:08virus, what was the reason why they were doing that right?
- 34:11It was it to try to develop a vaccine?
- 34:15Was it to for warfare, you know, biological warfare?
- 34:19You don't, that's one question. You don't know the answer there.
- 34:22And then, then the fact that it was released from the lab, was
- 34:24that accidental or was that intentional is another question
- 34:27to ask. And I don't have answers, you
- 34:29know, but I, I'm quite certain that it's not just a natural
- 34:32thing. It had to do with human mucking
- 34:35around with viruses and, and we have that capability.
- 34:39We know how to do it, how to make viruses more toxic and, you
- 34:43know, more virulent. And, and the things that are
- 34:45different between the COVID SARS Co V2 and SARS Co V2, SARS Co
- 34:52V1, the differences are things that are remarkably clever.
- 34:59I mean, there's sort of thing you would think of doing, if
- 35:00you, if you understood the biology of it, to put in this
- 35:03exact sequence that would allow it, you know, to do to, to bind
- 35:08to the receptor, this heart, you know, the ACE 2 inhibitor, ACE 2
- 35:14receptor and the and, and there's a fear and cleavage
- 35:18side. You know, there's like stuff in
- 35:19there that you're like, it looks like it's by design, by human
- 35:23design. So then following on from my
- 35:27question, what do you make of terrain theory?
- 35:29Do you think this this this validity in it?
- 35:32Absolutely. I, I totally embrace it for
- 35:36sure. And that's why I feel like you
- 35:38need to live a natural, healthy life to keep your immune system
- 35:42strong. Your immune system is so
- 35:43important for your health, really number one, and the way
- 35:46you keep it strong is by living a natural lifestyle.
- 35:50You said earlier that you don't like supplements.
- 35:53Now I love that you said that because I have a love hate
- 35:57relationship with them. So my, excuse me, my my primary
- 36:03approach is a supplement is in addition to, which means that
- 36:09something is deficient. So you should sort that out.
- 36:13So you only take supplements when you're not getting that
- 36:16thing in what you're eating or drinking.
- 36:19So shouldn't the focus be on sorting out what's on your plate
- 36:23rather than taking the pill? Absolutely.
- 36:26I mean, I always feel that if you feel like you're deficient
- 36:28in something to go find out what foods have a lot of it and eat
- 36:31those, you know, just change your diet.
- 36:33I definitely think that's the right way to do it.
- 36:35And I've actually, it's interesting because supplements
- 36:38are very, very different. They're not the same thing, you
- 36:41know, you think it's the same thing.
- 36:43And of course, they're also out of context.
- 36:44If you just take a, a pill that's pure or something rather,
- 36:48you know, a, a, a pure version of a particular molecule as a
- 36:52pill. That's so unnatural.
- 36:54The way that molecules being delivered is extremely unnatural
- 36:58like a just a vitamin D pill. You know, vitamin D all by
- 37:01itself in pure form is crazy. As far as your your natural
- 37:06system doesn't know how to handle that properly.
- 37:08And a good example is folic acid cause folic acid is terrible.
- 37:12It's a fortification that they require in the bread in America.
- 37:16I don't think you do in South Africa.
- 37:17But I don't know, we require folic acid and and iron
- 37:22supplement fortification in the in the bread and I think that's
- 37:25a really bad idea. Folic acid is a synthetic
- 37:28version of folate and folate is naturally found in green
- 37:32vegetables and lots of other foods.
- 37:34So if you get a good diet, you're getting enough folate in
- 37:37your diet. Folic acid, it, it normally the
- 37:41folate gets handled by the gut microbes and turned into methyl
- 37:44tetrahydrofolate, which is very important molecule in the
- 37:47methylation pathways. But folic acid, the microbes
- 37:50don't know what to do with it. So they just ship it over to the
- 37:53liver. And then the liver is tasked
- 37:55with converting it into methyl tetrahydrofolate, which takes a
- 37:58lot of effort for the liver and draws it away from other things
- 38:02that it would rather be doing. You know, So the liver is busy
- 38:04trying to convert this folic acid into the proper form.
- 38:08And, and, and often if you're taking high doses of folic acid,
- 38:11the liver just can't handle it all.
- 38:13So it just lets it go out into circulation as folic acid, which
- 38:16is really bad because then it binds to the folate receptors in
- 38:19the brain and blocks the regular folate from getting there.
- 38:22So you end up with a cerebral folate deficiency as a
- 38:26consequence of eating too much folic acid.
- 38:29So it's very ironic that by virtue of taking high doses of
- 38:33something that you think is providing you with folate, it's
- 38:35actually interfering with folate supply to the brain.
- 38:39I remember when I was pregnant there was a big discussion
- 38:43around folic acid and being pregnant.
- 38:45Apparently it right. It's not good.
- 38:47Well, it's interesting because the, the big reason for it was
- 38:49to protect from neural tube defects.
- 38:51The idea was, oh, if you don't, if you don't have enough folate,
- 38:54then the, the brain of the, of the infant can develop
- 38:57incorrectly and you can get some really nasty, you know, lethal
- 39:01effects that the child is not viable if there's not enough
- 39:05folate. So that's why you think, oh, we
- 39:06got to make sure they get plenty of folic acid.
- 39:08And so they, they, they pretty routinely encourage women to
- 39:13take folic acid as a supplement when they're pregnant.
- 39:15And it's a bad idea. You know, again, it's that you
- 39:18need it. They need the natural form.
- 39:20And people don't appreciate that.
- 39:21Even the doctors don't appreciate that.
- 39:25Now the counter argument, and I've had this many times, is,
- 39:29well, we don't get enough of these nutrients in our food.
- 39:32Our food is already deficient, the soil is deficient.
- 39:36So therefore we do need to take supplements particularly, yeah,
- 39:39particularly vitamin D. If you live in Scandinavia,
- 39:43there isn't enough sun. Well, it's a good point, but
- 39:46again, I would say eat a lot of foods that contain vitamin D
- 39:49because you can, you know, like this seals, for example, up
- 39:52north, you know, they've got very little sun, but they eat a
- 39:56lot of seal fat, which has lots of vitamin D in it.
- 39:59And even the fat in fish has vitamin D and and animal based
- 40:03fats have vitamin D. If I come, I mean, if the cow
- 40:05was hanging out in the sunlight, which it might not be, but yeah,
- 40:10right. I mean, there's have been a lot
- 40:11of people talking about mineral deficiency and they maybe have a
- 40:14valid point. I suspect they do.
- 40:16And part of that is glyphosate because glyphosate binds to
- 40:19minerals and makes them unavailable.
- 40:21I remember the first lecture I heard on glyphosate.
- 40:23Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup.
- 40:26And that's my book and Roundup. And it's a very, it's pervasive
- 40:29in the environment in the United States.
- 40:31It's all over the food supply. It it's really scary.
- 40:34I've had friends, my friend Zen Hunnicutt, who founded the
- 40:37organisation called Moms Across America, and she's had lots of
- 40:40testing done of different kinds of foods.
- 40:43She had her, her mom's go collect school lunch, school
- 40:46lunch foods and ship them off and get them tested. 95% we're
- 40:51positive for glyphosate. And she had fast food, you know,
- 40:54from the fast food restaurants, 100% were contaminated with
- 40:57glyphosate. So it is all over the food
- 40:59supply in this country. The government thinks it's
- 41:01perfectly safe, so they don't worry about it.
- 41:03They don't bother to test even. So that's really, really
- 41:06frustrating for me. Why is it being used?
- 41:10Why is it being used? It kills weeds.
- 41:11It's very effective in agriculture to make your foods
- 41:14cheap because you don't have to get higher people to pull the
- 41:17weeds out. You can just spray.
- 41:18And they have all these crops that are engineered to be
- 41:21resistant to glyphosate through genetic, you know, genetic
- 41:25engineering. And they can just spray the crop
- 41:27with the glyphosate doesn't die. And they even use it at harvest.
- 41:31They spray wheat, barley, oats, chickpeas, garbanzo beans at
- 41:34harvest, right before harvest with glyphosate as a as a drying
- 41:38agent. And then those foods have really
- 41:40high levels of glyphosate in them.
- 41:42They're not. They're not GMO, but they're
- 41:44highly contaminated with glyphosate.
- 41:47How do you get around it though? I mean, how does agriculture?
- 41:50Well, that is a huge question. That's what we need to work on.
- 41:53I feel like we're smart enough, we should be able to do it.
- 41:55And one possibility I think is the technology because there's
- 41:59these fancy tractors coming out that are, you know, robotic
- 42:03tractors that can drive themselves.
- 42:05They can have vision capabilities, they can recognise
- 42:08which, which of the plants are weeds and which ones aren't.
- 42:11They can carry some boiling water and just, you know,
- 42:14selectively kill the weed. I mean, I think it's possible
- 42:16They can run on solar energy. They have solar panels.
- 42:20They're they're producing these fancy tractors one's called the
- 42:22Monarch that I'm aware of that are that maybe can help to
- 42:28alleviate the the problem of weeds without having to get
- 42:30people out there to pull them because human resources are very
- 42:33expensive. And that's, that's the big
- 42:35issue, I think that you don't have to hire, we have these mega
- 42:38farms now that are pure corn, you know, or pure soy.
- 42:42That's the only amount of crop and it's GMO engineered.
- 42:46So then you can just spray the glyphosate, the weeds go away.
- 42:49It's very convenient. You know, it's, it's, it makes
- 42:52food cheap. We should be not doing that sort
- 42:55of monoculture mega farming. Oh I totally agree.
- 42:59Absolutely. I, I really push for the small
- 43:02family farm concept and just growing a lot of different
- 43:04things and even maybe not worrying so much about the
- 43:07weeds, you know, because the weeds actually help to enrich
- 43:11the soil. I mean, they have some benefits.
- 43:14And so you could just kind of be more relaxed about the weeds and
- 43:17just harvest the crop and, and have a lot of different things
- 43:21growing, you know, fruit trees and things like that.
- 43:24It's doable. I mean, in many small family
- 43:27farms, they don't grow, you know, corn and soy.
- 43:30They grow lots of different vegetables and stuff and they
- 43:33may have some cows. Well, I was just going to say
- 43:35this whole issue of refurbishing the soil, you know, not just
- 43:38organic, not just certified organic, but regenerative
- 43:41agriculture is really important to try to guess the soil is, is
- 43:44really sick right now. That's one thing about the
- 43:46chemicals. And as I said, glyphosate
- 43:48depletes the metals. In fact, I, I, I talked about
- 43:51this talk, I didn't quite finish it because Don Hubert presented
- 43:54data that he had collected showing that plants, food crops
- 43:59that were exposed to glyphosate had way lower levels of all
- 44:02kinds of critical minerals, you know, like magnesium and zinc
- 44:06and, and, and, and manganese and copper.
- 44:09All these things were way down, even sulphur were way down
- 44:13compared to the crop that was not grown in the presence of
- 44:16glyphosate. So even the GMO crops, they have
- 44:19this gene that protects them so they don't die, but that doesn't
- 44:23mean they still aren't affected in terms of the minerals, that
- 44:25they don't take up as many minerals as they should.
- 44:28And then when you eat that plant and you're not getting as much
- 44:31as many minerals as you would normally get, and that is an
- 44:34issue and that and you could even argue that that's such a
- 44:36big issue that you need to take mineral supplements, you know.
- 44:39What does glyphosate do to you? Oh gosh, it does so many things.
- 44:43It's unbelievable. I, I believe that it's the
- 44:47primary cause of, of the epidemic we're seeing today in
- 44:50America in a long list of diseases, including especially
- 44:53to obesity, diabetes, autism, ADHD, pancreatic cancer, thyroid
- 44:59cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, kidney
- 45:02disease. I mean, there's a huge list and
- 45:05liver cancer, kidney cancer, all even probably breast cancer.
- 45:10I mean, just, it's, it's an endocrine disruptor.
- 45:12It, it's Parkinson's disease. I mean, it's amazing.
- 45:16All these diseases are going up and dementia, you know,
- 45:19Alzheimer's, all of them are going up dramatically over time
- 45:22in this country. We're getting so sick and, and,
- 45:26and we don't seem to care. The government doesn't seem to
- 45:29mind. And well, lately it does mind,
- 45:31right? There's a big deal with the new
- 45:33government. I'm really appreciative of RFK
- 45:35Junior. He's really putting out a
- 45:37message that, you know, we're sick and we need to figure out
- 45:40why we need to fix it. And, and that gives me hope.
- 45:43I really am very excited about potentially seeing some changes
- 45:48in the government in terms of paying attention to these
- 45:50problems and, and really doing the research to get to the
- 45:53bottom of it. But I think the bottom of it has
- 45:55a lot to do with glyphosate. It it's considered to be
- 45:59perfectly safe for humans. It's pervasive.
- 46:03People use it carelessly in their yards to kill the
- 46:05dandelions even when the kids are out playing.
- 46:07They just don't know that it's not safe.
- 46:10And and it, and in my book, I talk about it's insidious
- 46:13cumulative mechanism of toxicity that has to do with its role as
- 46:17an analogue of glycine. I think it's a really unique
- 46:20property of this chemical. It is a glycine molecule.
- 46:23Glycine is an amino acid. It's the smallest amino acid
- 46:26that goes into the proteins. You know, it's one of the coding
- 46:29amino acids very, very important in many different proteins like
- 46:33essential. If you have a glycine this
- 46:34particular spot and if there's a mutation that gets changed into
- 46:37alanine, then that protein doesn't work anymore.
- 46:40So there's like really many, many proteins that have critical
- 46:43glycines. And I think the glycosate is
- 46:45actually getting into the proteins by mistake in places,
- 46:48the glycine all over your body and, and certain proteins are
- 46:52very susceptible to disruption if glyphosate does that.
- 46:57And so and, and that, and there's many proteins that
- 46:59glyphosate has been shown to suppress that have highly
- 47:02conserved glycines at places where they bind phosphate.
- 47:05And that's sort of what I think is a critical situation in which
- 47:09glyphosate is going to cause trouble.
- 47:11And so my book talks about all these different proteins that
- 47:14are associated with these various diseases that are going
- 47:16up dramatically, exactly in step with the rising glyphosate
- 47:19usage. It's a beautiful puzzle to put
- 47:21together and it works really well.
- 47:23The industry, you know, they, they did studies in which they
- 47:25tried 1000 different chemicals. There were tweaks on glyphosate.
- 47:29They were looking for something else that might do the same
- 47:31thing, might be as good as glyphosate, something different,
- 47:34because they always want to have some, some new chemical they can
- 47:37patent, you know, and they looked at 1000 different things
- 47:40and none of them worked. None of them worked anywhere
- 47:42near as well as glycine as glyphosate did.
- 47:44And none of them were amino acid antibiotics of glycine.
- 47:47So that's the critical thing with glyphosate that makes it so
- 47:49special. So if I'm driving past a farm
- 47:55and I see one of those planes flying over the crops spraying
- 47:59that stuff, is it most likely that?
- 48:02I hope you don't have the top down when you're driving.
- 48:06Yeah, people have gotten it. I have gotten an email from
- 48:08people who like someone was walking her dog when they
- 48:11sprayed and they got and they basically got hit by the spray
- 48:14and then she and her dog both got really sick after that.
- 48:16I mean, it's really sad. It can be that simple that if
- 48:19you just have one accident, it can ruin your life.
- 48:23But then why does the government not care?
- 48:25Or is that? On purpose, that's the
- 48:27$1,000,000 question. I think they've been convinced
- 48:30by the industry that we can't live without glyphosate.
- 48:33Like it's so essential for us to feed our nation that if we
- 48:36didn't have glyphosate, what would we do?
- 48:38We'd all starve. You know that.
- 48:40That's the message that the industry conveys.
- 48:42And I think the government, individuals tend to believe it.
- 48:47They're worried that if they tried to ban glyphosate, we'd
- 48:49all starve. And, and they may have a point
- 48:52because we haven't figured out how to do without it.
- 48:54You know, we've gotten complacent.
- 48:56We'd have to hire a lot of people to pull weeds or we'd
- 48:58have to have a, a great, a great decrease in yield, you would
- 49:01think, you know, if you're not dealing with the weeds.
- 49:05So you need alternative solutions.
- 49:06And that's why I think this Monarch, for example, these
- 49:09tractors could be one way. And there's also people are
- 49:12trying to develop natural herbicides that could kill the
- 49:16weeds without harming humans, you know, because we don't have
- 49:20any good choices for herbicides. People say, well, maybe they'll
- 49:23just get rid of glyphosate. Then they'll use 24-D or dicamba
- 49:27or, or the phosphonate. Those are all supposedly much
- 49:30more toxic than glyphosate. So it's kind of like out of a
- 49:32frying pan into the fire. You know, if you ban glyphosate
- 49:35and just switch over to some of these others after seeing
- 49:38they're all bad, I, I think you can't use chemical herbicides
- 49:42period on crops if you want a healthy population.
- 49:44That's what I believe. It reminds me of of of people
- 49:50switching sugar for fake sugar. Oh, I know, that's another
- 49:54nightmare. Oh gosh, yes.
- 49:58Oh, well, it's not sugar. Well, no, it's not.
- 50:00It's like xylitol or whatever, but it's a chemical.
- 50:03Oh absolutely. I have never taken any of those
- 50:06sweeteners that are not natural in my whole life.
- 50:09I mean, unless by accident someone gave me something that I
- 50:12didn't realise had, you know, by choice, I'm always very careful
- 50:16not to eat any of those alternative sweeteners that are
- 50:20supposed to be calorie free and that sort of thing.
- 50:23The people around me seem to have gone back to how things
- 50:27were. How short are people's memories?
- 50:31I know, actually, it surprises me that there aren't more people
- 50:34who are aware of how bad the vaccines are, because to me it's
- 50:38so obvious that that they're not.
- 50:40They, they, they work for a short while.
- 50:42The am I, they, they, the COVID vaccines, the mRNA vaccines,
- 50:48there's a period right after the vaccine where you're more
- 50:52vulnerable to COVID than you were before, during the period
- 50:54when your body's adjusting to the vaccine.
- 50:57And then once you get the antibodies after maybe a month,
- 50:59right, you've got a short window of time where you're protected.
- 51:03Like if you get the disease during that time, it'll be
- 51:05milder. I, I, I admit that that it does
- 51:08actually protect you from severe disease because it's made you
- 51:10make those antibodies, but those antibodies can really 'cause you
- 51:13a lot of trouble in other ways, like through autoimmune disease
- 51:17and, and then the vaccine actually, if you keep on
- 51:19getting, so then you have to get another booster 'cause it runs
- 51:22out. That's the really horrible
- 51:23thing. It runs out.
- 51:24So now every six months, you know, you've got another shot
- 51:27and every time you get one, you're putting more poison into
- 51:29your body and eventually you just, it really hurts your
- 51:34health in big ways. And obviously the heart problems
- 51:38that we're seeing and even neurodegenerative problems,
- 51:41thrombosis, you know, the lungs can get a blood clot and you can
- 51:45have a pulmonary embolism. I mean, there's all kinds of
- 51:49scary things that are happening in response to those vaccines.
- 51:53And I don't understand why people still get them.
- 51:57And people who have had, you know, 6 or 7 boosters and still
- 52:00going at it, it's just crazy. But what makes mRNA so
- 52:06dangerous? Yeah, well, that's a long story,
- 52:09but it's the engineering is quite sophisticated and clever
- 52:14again in ways to try to fool the body.
- 52:17But they've they've figured out that the history of developing
- 52:20these vaccines goes way back. They've been working on them for
- 52:23for decades. That's the 1990s.
- 52:26And, and they had this idea that you could give the person the,
- 52:30the machinery to make the, the toxic protein that you want them
- 52:34to be exposed to. So you give them, instead of
- 52:36giving them the spike protein, you give them the code for the
- 52:39spike protein in the form of mRNA, which is a very fragile
- 52:43molecule. So then the big question was how
- 52:46do I keep the body from breaking down the mRNA before it manages
- 52:50to get turned into protein? That was a big stumper for them
- 52:53and they had to go through a lot of studies and, and designing
- 52:56different things and they finally figured out hide it
- 52:58inside a lipid nanoparticle. You know, so now you have the
- 53:01lipid nanoparticle, which is also all by itself is toxic.
- 53:06They, they don't admit that, but it's true.
- 53:07You know, the lipid nanoparticles are dangerous by
- 53:09themselves, even without the content.
- 53:12But the mRNA is hiding inside the lipid nanoparticles so that
- 53:15the, the machinery that would break it down can't get to it.
- 53:19But then they also just redesigned the mRNA to make it
- 53:22really, really sturdy. And one thing they did was to
- 53:24take all the uridines and turn them into methyl pseudo uridine,
- 53:27which is a very unnatural form of a mesodrna molecule.
- 53:31And when they did that, it became the enzymes that would
- 53:34normally break it apart. Don't know how to do it anymore
- 53:37because just like when you put glyphosate instead of glycine to
- 53:40mess things up, but when they put those methyl pseudouridines
- 53:42in there, the, the enzyme can't break it down the way it would
- 53:46normally do. So the mRNA sticks around for a
- 53:48long time. They need it to do that so we
- 53:50can make the protein. They want to make it to make
- 53:51enough protein so that the immune cells see the protein,
- 53:54get the antibodies going. So they were working really hard
- 53:57on keeping it from breaking down.
- 53:58They also put things on the ends that would help to keep it from
- 54:01breaking down. The whole obsession with let's
- 54:03keep that mRNA alive as long as we can.
- 54:06And then they succeeded wildly, almost beyond their imagination,
- 54:09because they're seeing now messenger RNA is still around a
- 54:13month later, even maybe two months later, and spike protein
- 54:16still around six months later or even longer.
- 54:19And I don't know how that spike protein is surviving and whether
- 54:22that's because the mRNA got converted to DNA, which has also
- 54:25been shown recently in in papers that the mRNA gets converted
- 54:29into DNA. And once that happens, the DNA
- 54:32can carry the code forever and it can get converted back into
- 54:35RNA, back into protein at any time.
- 54:37And so you've got these immune cells that are senescent immune
- 54:40cells possibly carrying around DNA that is codes for the spike
- 54:46protein and that could survive for years in theory.
- 54:50So there's some things that are theoretical.
- 54:52There's some things that have been shown experimentally.
- 54:53There's also DNA contamination in the vaccines.
- 54:56There's all kinds of things that are fishy about these vaccines.
- 54:59And to think that that they're harmless is just ludicrous.
- 55:06And then at 1 stage that, I was saying, oh, that's designed to
- 55:09stay in the region. Of the, of the injection, that's
- 55:12certainly not true. And they've shown that
- 55:14experimentally as well, that it gets into the lymph system, it
- 55:19travels to and even it goes to the spleen, it goes to the
- 55:22liver, it even goes to the ovaries, you know, the
- 55:26reproductive organs and, and everywhere it goes, it causes
- 55:30trouble. How did humans survive so many
- 55:35thousands of years? I know up.
- 55:37Until up until 200 years ago. Right, I know we didn't have any
- 55:41of these resources and now we're creating all these monster
- 55:44things that I think could do us in actually, I, I can, I'm
- 55:47concerned that we may not survive as a species for very
- 55:51much longer because we're, we're really hurting the, the
- 55:53reproductive system and we're also so many kids are sick like
- 55:57autism. The autism rates are through the
- 55:59roof here in this country. And at some point as a young
- 56:02mother, as a young woman, you may really question the wisdom
- 56:06of getting pregnant because there's this high risk of having
- 56:09an autistic child, which will completely change your life in
- 56:12ways you don't want, you know, to have the responsibility of
- 56:14bringing up an autistic child would be such a burden that you
- 56:18might say, you know what, I think I just won't have kids.
- 56:20I think that's going to be happening, or maybe it is
- 56:22already happening with the young people today, that there's too
- 56:26much risk involved in not producing a healthy child that
- 56:30you just decide to bypass that whole part of life and just do
- 56:33without, you know, And then if enough people do that, we don't
- 56:36reproduce ourselves. All it takes is a reproductive
- 56:39rate that's under replacement and time and we'll run out, you
- 56:43know? But that that stats seems to
- 56:46apply for almost every country now.
- 56:48Yeah, so many countries are down below the reproductive rate at
- 56:51this point. And it looks like to me it's
- 56:53just going to chase us out of the out of the earth because
- 56:56we'll just shrink in population over time until we are no more.
- 57:01There'll be too few of us to be able to carry on.
- 57:04The amount of women struggling to fall pregnant is also.
- 57:08I know that's the other thing. One is just choosing not to have
- 57:10a child because it's too risky to have a bad child, a child
- 57:13that's defective. And two, is not being able to
- 57:16get pregnant. That's also a huge problem.
- 57:18The fertility infertility clinics are really thriving in
- 57:21this country. And people are also, you know,
- 57:24young people are harvesting their eggs and putting them in
- 57:27in a deep freeze, right? A lot of women are doing that.
- 57:30The young women, they're like, OK, I don't want to have a kid
- 57:32right now. I'm busy.
- 57:32You know, I'll just harvest my eggs and put them into the
- 57:35freezer. And then when I'm 3637, I'll
- 57:38pull them out and get pregnant. And, and, and people are doing
- 57:41that, you know, sort of reassuring that they won't be
- 57:43without children in the long run.
- 57:45And then finding out that all those eggs, none of those eggs
- 57:47are viable. And so they end up, you know, no
- 57:50children. I mean, that's happening too,
- 57:52but. Give me a negative wisdom.
- 57:58Well, I mean, as you know that my whole thing is just live a
- 58:01natural life. I think that's so key just to
- 58:04think if this is not natural, don't do it for everything that
- 58:07you might think, think about doing, only do it if it's
- 58:10natural. And that's been my philosophy
- 58:12all my life. And I think it's worked well for
- 58:15me because I feel like I'm very healthy, especially considering
- 58:19my age. You know, it's I'm at that age
- 58:21when people start to fall apart. And so far so good.
- 58:23So we hope that'll continue, but we don't know.
- 58:27Well, you also live in Hawaii. Maybe that's also another key to
- 58:30success. Move to Hawaii.
- 58:32Well, I do love Hawaii. It is so beautiful and so much
- 58:34sunlight, you know, and great weather.
- 58:36So you always want to be outdoors.
- 58:37I spent a lot of time outdoors. I was just figuring out probably
- 58:40four or five hours every day outdoors.
- 58:44You have great weather there. It's actually really, really
- 58:46nice. There's a lot to be said about
- 58:49Cape Town. I really, I think it's a great
- 58:51place. I mean it has some issues with
- 58:53the black white problem but. Oh no, it's huge.
- 58:57That's a huge problem and the crime rates are a bit high and
- 59:00the government may not be perfect, but but the place is
- 59:04beautiful. Table Mountain, you know, the
- 59:05ocean. It's really nice.
- 59:07There is a sense of freedom, though, in in all the chaos.
- 59:11Interesting. Stephanie, how can my audience
- 59:14get your book and we'll follow your work in general?
- 59:17Yeah, well, my book Toxic Legacy would be something to read if
- 59:21you want to learn about glyphosate.
- 59:24It's on Amazon. On Amazon, yes.
- 59:28And and then my web page is Stephanie sandiff.net.
- 59:33There's some information there, but I have a lot of published
- 59:36papers. Yes, you've been with MIT
- 59:39forever. Yes, ever since I undergraduate,
- 59:42yes, I, I got my undergraduate degree in biology actually at
- 59:45MIT many, many years ago, and then a master's EE and PhD
- 59:49degrees in electrical engineering and computer
- 59:51science. And then most of my career was
- 59:53spent writing code, computer code to help computers learn how
- 59:57to communicate with humans using natural language.
- 59:59That was my really my career path until 22,007, when it was
- 1:00:05when I sort of got interested in autism and wanted to figure it
- 1:00:08out. Figure out what was causing the
- 1:00:10autism epidemic and that's the rest of it is history.
- 1:00:12I mean, I've basically gotten completely back into biology,
- 1:00:17had a really good time learning about biology the last two
- 1:00:20decades. And I feel like I'm really
- 1:00:23making headway and understanding what the issues are and why
- 1:00:27we're so unhealthy and all of this and how to fix it is I sort
- 1:00:31of know how to fix it, but I don't know how to make it
- 1:00:33happen. You know, because we've got so
- 1:00:34much resistance to where we need to go from industries and so and
- 1:00:42also governments. It's just like really difficult
- 1:00:44to know the path. I think I know what the path
- 1:00:47should be, but I don't know how to make it happen.
- 1:00:50I actually forgot that you were so connected to computer science
- 1:00:54and I we'll get grilled if I don't ask you even just very
- 1:00:57quickly, your views on AI. Oh, I know.
- 1:01:00It's actually really, really interesting right now.
- 1:01:02And I'm amazed at how quickly the technology I was working on
- 1:01:06has matured to the point where it's useful.
- 1:01:09You know, I actually never thought it would be useful back
- 1:01:11when I was developing these systems that could communicate
- 1:01:15using speech. I just thought it was way too
- 1:01:16hard and it would never happen. And I almost lost, you know, got
- 1:01:20out of a job because it, it worked so well.
- 1:01:22The industry took over and it was hard for me to figure out
- 1:01:25what I could do to improve upon what the industry was already
- 1:01:28doing at the point when it became commoditized.
- 1:01:31And and now it's just unbelievable.
- 1:01:34The AI, the sophistication of AI and what it can do, the ChatGPT
- 1:01:38kind of thing, you know, all the AI chat bots, unbelievable.
- 1:01:42And of course they make mistakes, but they can be very
- 1:01:45useful to help anybody learn something.
- 1:01:47Even you have to be aware of the mistakes, but you can learn so
- 1:01:51much just by chatting with one of these devices.
- 1:01:54And then of course, they're taking over on so many jobs.
- 1:01:57Even jobs like writing code, you know, it's pretty amazing that
- 1:02:01the computer can do a pretty good job of writing code.
- 1:02:03You can just have to provide it with a description of what you
- 1:02:05want and it can in whatever coding language you want and it
- 1:02:09can come up with code. And then you can just kind of,
- 1:02:12you might have to tweak it, you know, it might not be perfect,
- 1:02:15but it's a very different kind of job from what it was when I
- 1:02:18wrote code where you had to do it all by hand, you know, And so
- 1:02:21even people, even in my lab, there's discussion around what
- 1:02:26is the future of our, of our fields.
- 1:02:28You know, if you're getting a degree in computer science
- 1:02:31today, that's back in the day, you were sort of like, if you
- 1:02:35could code that was really good. You know, you're a really good
- 1:02:37coder. That's probably not the case
- 1:02:40anymore. And, and you sort of need to
- 1:02:41readjust to a different way of, of writing code, a different way
- 1:02:46of writing a novel, even you know that you can have the
- 1:02:48computer help you write the novel, even maybe create the
- 1:02:51plot. I mean, and of course vision,
- 1:02:53vision things as well, like in advertising, being able to
- 1:02:57create images for advertising using midway for mid journey,
- 1:03:03for example, It's pretty amazing and that it creates these images
- 1:03:07that are not copyrighted. So that's going to cause all
- 1:03:10kinds of problems with artists, you know, and, and, and what is
- 1:03:14the value of the artist now that the computer can do the same
- 1:03:16thing? Many, many open questions about
- 1:03:18what's going to happen with various career paths.
- 1:03:21That used to be a sure thing, and now we just don't know how
- 1:03:26much of that, of what we humans used to do can be done better by
- 1:03:30the computer. And to what extent will that
- 1:03:33cause career paths to fail that I think it's a very difficult
- 1:03:38time to graduate from college. And then to think about what am
- 1:03:41I going to do next, you know, and to know what's the best
- 1:03:44choice for a career path that's going to be durable despite all
- 1:03:49this that's happening with the AI.
- 1:03:50So really interesting times in that respect.
- 1:03:54Do you agree with Elon Musk that it's an existential threat?
- 1:03:58I think I probably do, yes. We're, we're at a time when
- 1:04:02there are so many problems, you know, we could maybe encourage
- 1:04:05people to go buy a piece of land and and grow some organic food.
- 1:04:08You know, that might be the safest bet, I think, as far as
- 1:04:12the career path at this point. OK, well, on that note,
- 1:04:16Stephanie Seneff, thank you for joining me in the trenches.
- 1:04:18Thank you. It was fun.
- 1:04:19Thanks.
