SNIDigital Innovations in Learning

Hello, I'm Jim Austin, Editor-in-Chief of SI Digital Innovations and Learning,

which is a video journal interactive with discussion, now offering this program and others on podcasts on Apple Amazon Spotify podcasts. In association with SI, Surgical Neurology International,

the

NCF stands the Editor-in-Chief are happy to present another in the investigative series by SI Digital on the topic of Dr. Blalock reports, discussing medically related controversies of today.

Topic number 11 in his series of programs of Dr. Blalock's report is the Antioxidant system to counter immuno excitotoxicity.

Dr. Blaylock is the CEO of Theoretical Neuroscientist Search, Associate Editor-in-Chief of the Neuroinflammation section of the Surgical Neurology International and SI Digital, and is a

board-certified clinical nutritionist, has been for his whole life. He's the creator and editor of the Blaylock Wellness Report, author of many books, scientific papers, a health commentator on

radio, TV, and in the epic times.

He's written a book on natural solutions for liver problems and strategies for cancer patients, prescriptions for natural health, and one of the major topics of this lecture is excitotoxins, which

is part of excit - immuno-exciter toxicity. And with Dr. Houseman, co-authored the book on the China virus, What is the Truth? All of these are available on Amazoncom.

And he's also published an e-book on cellular and molecular biology of autism spectrum disorders.

He publishes a monthly newsletter for 20 years called the Playlack Wellness Report. You can subscribe to it by looking at the website below listed.

In this talk, which is about antioxidants, which he mentions in the antioxidant system, which is functioning during immuno-excited toxicity, he'll talk about that system, which is composed of

vitamins and minerals, flavonoids, antioxidant enzymes, which are in the body and many of these things you can take as supplements The key items he discusses are nanocircumen, nanocursatin,

omega-3 fatty acids, rospheritrol, magnesium, and the nanoform of these drugs is made so it can have a higher absorption through the GI tract, it's made into very small little molecules, and

therefore there's a higher absorption. You can find this information on your browser

Dr. Bauch's discussion today will occur in five parts. First is the introduction. The second is the basics of cellular biochemistry and anatomy. The third is immuno-exciter toxicity and the

antioxidant system and specific antioxidants and how they work. The anatomy of the mitochondria and microglial activation and then a summary and a small portion devoted to the pharmaceutical industry

and how it's attempting to control supplements.

Let me make a statement here. The other day I was working with some papers and I got a paper cut and everybody has gotten a paper cut. It's like a knife slice deep and it's painful and it's just

like the paper the paper. It's like a very thin slice. And

I watched this over a period of time. And I saw that around this cut, there was an intense amount of redness, which is inflammation, which is the blood vessels dilating, and all these microglia

or peripheral white cells entering in the area because there's been damage, just like you said, and now they're highly active. And there had to be, if there wasn't one cell like we're seeing in

this pictures, there must have been thousands, if not millions, in there that were attracted to this area, and there are signals that go out to the rest of the cells in the body to come and help

me out here. I need some more troops here to offset this damage. And so with that, you bring good things, you bring bad things into it, and those are what you were mentioning, it brings more

glutamate in, it brings more cytokines in there, which are sending signals to the cell to do various things and other things. And then we've got more chemical reactions producing more free radicals

leading to damage. And so it's a conscious, constant yin and yang. And

eventually the swelling and the redness went down. And the finger was warm. Everybody's gone through this in their life. And that was, I couldn't see it with a microscope, but I knew that was

what was happening. And so what you've described here in this picture is one cell. And you're talking about we're back to 40 trillion cells in the above 40 trillion cells in the body, where there's

immense number of reactions are going on. And let's say we attack one part of the body, you get this whole series of reactions that occur that produces an immune reaction. If the body is successful,

it quells it. If it's not successful, and this is going to get into what I wanted you to talk about, which is activation of the white cells, because you may, obviously, the cut and the finger

went away. but if I'm like a boxer and I'm in a boxing ring and you wrote your paper 20 years ago about this and they constantly get him hit in the head, which are trauma to the nerve cells and to

the cells around there, this reaction is being recurring and recurring. You wanna talk about micro glial activation and how that happens and what can we do to stop it and that gets gonna get back to

all the flavonoid and antioxidants.

Yeah, basically what they discovered, which is called sickness behavior, is when you catch a flu or some other infection like the flu,

you immediately go through these neuropsychiatric problems. You wanna sleep a lot, you don't wanna socialize, you have difficulty thinking, putting your thoughts together and we call that sickness

behavior and they've discovered that that's because

were activated by whatever happened in your arms, the legs, or whatever where you were injured. And it's recreating these chemicals, which are inflaming the brain, and interfering with energy

production. And until that's stopped.

Dr.

Sam, Dr. Boak's discussion today will occur in five parts. First is the introduction. The second is the basics of cellular biochemistry and anatomy The third is immuno-exciter toxicity and the

antioxidant system and specific antioxidants and how they work. Anatomy of the mitochondria and microglial activation and then a summary. Hey, Dan, again, we have the pleasure and the privilege

of talking with Russell Blalock. And Russell, as you know, is not only a neurosurgeon, but he's a board-certified dietician. has been writing about nutritional aspects of health for 20 or 30

years. Has his own newsletter that comes out every month. He's written for 20 years on multiple subjects. We've already recorded 10 previous lectures in the Dr. Layelock Report series,

mostly about nutritional supplements and that are necessary to maintain health. And what happens if we don't have

an appropriate diet with the appropriate contents so that we can do that. And Russell is gonna get into just a brief introduction of how we got where we are today. There's a lot of things going

around him. No, you've heard about while you don't need vitamins, you don't have to take vitamins, you get all the nutrition you need in your diet. and so forth, and it turns out that those are

not true, but Russell, I don't wanna get into that. Can you get us into this subject and that will lead us in to some really important other areas you're talking about, what are some really key

supplements we need to help us with these millions and billions of very chemical reactions in the body. And if you're deficient, that leads to diseases in various forms So you wanna start out and

maybe I give us an idea of what these

initial nutritional deficiencies were and how it came about with farming and so forth. Yes, which I think is really critical to what we're talking about. And mainly people who support

pharmaceutical companies who are pushing this idea that you get all the items and minerals you need, just eating a regular diet of modern food. modern food, which is mainly processed foods. And

there's a whole

area of interest in the fact that almost all the chronic diseases, particularly cancer, neurological diseases, neurodegenerative disease, are caused by processed foods. And that is they add all

of these things to the food, they're deficient in the vitamins and minerals we need And as we see in the chart that has to do with the vitamins,

we see the specific vitamins, certain people, are deficient the majority of people. In fact, they say 90 of Americans are deficient and one are more key nutrients. And what we know from nutrition

is that as far, for instance of your immune function, A single nutrition deficiency can disrupt your immunity. And so we see the high death rate from infections and pandemics and such are not due

to the power of the virus but the lack of protection of the person. If we look at vitamin E, for instance, they found that 86 of the people were not meeting the minimum requirements for vitamin E.

And the next one is folate, 75. Well, pregnant women that are deficient in folic acid have a very high incidence of their babies being born with neurological deficiencies or neurological conditions,

such as fine and bifida and hydrocephalus. So these are quite critical. We see the almost 55 and almost 50 of people are deficient in either vitamin A or vitamin C. Well, these are very critical

for preventing cancer, preventing many of skin disease.

strengthen your arteries, strengthen your connective tissue. And we go down the line, we look at these things and we're seeing they're very important. For actions B12, they have 30. Well,

that's everybody of every age. If you look at elderly people, when they looked at the people outside of nursing homes, almost 75 are more deficient than B12 When you looked in nursing homes,

almost 100 were deficient. So the age makes a lot of difference as well. These are averages for all ages. And so if you're looking at an elderly population, those percentage rates go up

considerably. When you look at the minerals, which you have another chart of the effect on metals,

and it's all because of the farming methods What happens is We've become mechanical farmers. They grow the same crops in the same soil over and over, and they become depleted. The fertilizers they

use do not add these things back to the soil. They add minimal things just to make it grow fast, but it's not healthy. And that's the difference between organic food and non-organic food. I think

it was number five, wasn't it? Yeah, I think it was number two. Yeah, this is the

one that talks about starting in 1900 phosphorus, selenium, copper, magnesium, who talked about that a lot, cobalt, and calcium, zinc, and iron. Everybody had reasonable levels early in the

1900s, but see how the chart shows it just almost fallen out to here we're already at 2025 And years later 100 nothing.

And we have, while they're trying to keep the farms free of pests and so forth, they've added some substances here which are very dangerous. So is that what you wanted to talk about? Yeah, and

there's two things to consider. One is that aging, as you age, your requirement for these minerals becomes more important. And the incidence of these mineral deficiencies, as you begin to age,

increases. Many of your foods are not sufficient to make up for these losses. And again, the intake is almost zero. Magnesium is highly protective of the heart, the blood vessels, and the brain.

And it's severely depleted in the modern diet. It's because of farming masses, and the use of pesticides or besides fungicides, which allows it to grow fast. but is deficient in these critical

minerals. The other thing is there are several things added to food and these processed foods that actually deplete the minerals and vitamins at a much higher rate and become carcinogenic themselves.

For instance, like omega-6 fat, which we have tremendous amount over 50 times human requirements And we have

various other substances added to food, which severely deplete these things, put a greater burden. And so we don't need lower, we need higher intake of these minerals. Like selenium is highly

protected. Some of these have a lot to do with neuropsychic acid conditions. For instance, low-cellinium can cause depression. And vitamin deficiencies of some kinds can cause depression, so

these are all quite critical.

and that's what we're gonna talk about today. Okay, so let me get rid of that. I think that's a terrific introduction to this topic. And so

I think everybody, well, let me ask you another thing. A lot of their studies, I read them, I've sent them to you, the studies we've studied multibitamins every day for everybody and there's no

difference And I know you and I've talked about this before. They're large studies. You never know what else is happening. What's the problem with those studies? Well, a lot of them, what

they're doing is they're using a generally healthy population to study it. So they're parameters wrong, and they're not using the mass of the people which are not leading a healthy lifestyle. They

have disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, They

have neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases. and these are not taken into account, but these men are deficiencies, vitamin deficiencies, can be critical in those conditions. They

use a healthy population. And if you give healthy people a multivitamin, you don't see a lot of difference. If you give a sick person multivitamins or deficient in these and requiring a higher

amount, you can see a greater difference. And so your test population makes a lot of difference And what they do, they set up these experiments to fail. And I wrote an article for your journal

about how they purposely

wrote an article to show vitamins of certain types had nothing to do with cancer. And even made the absurd statement that it increased cancer. And then subsequent studies, who looked at it, said

everything in their articles Um, um. to poor environments with a lot. And that actually it drastically reduced the cancer rate in the susceptible population. And now we have so many chemical

additives to foods, almost everybody's success.

What I put up here is a picture of a cell. And you and I have talked in the previous sessions that you've had on Dr. Blalak reports There's almost 40 trillion cells in the body, 40 trillion. And I

have that number, I think it was doing immense number. And every one of these cells has its own little factory. And this is the nucleus of the cell here, as you can see. And it has various

chemical structures in here, which allows the genes, which are in the nucleus to,

to transfer and make some chemicals, which are proteins, which goes throughout the body and so forth. And the other part of this you have to know is in these cells, these cells need energy for

this to go. And there are mitochondria. And I wanted to put this up because what you're gonna talk about is going to affect probably all 40 trillion cells in the body. And if you look at this and I

mean, it doesn't look like there's much going on here, but the cell is filled with chemicals in a highly orchestrated

biochemical set of reactions that are going on constantly. And you multiply this by 40 trillion times and you need some of these supplements to make all these reactions go. And if you're deficient,

that's how you lead to diseases. So let me, that's, you wanna make any comment about this before I show a mitochondria and then we can get into what you say. Yeah, keep in mind that your minerals

and your vitamins are the

coenzymes, and what they know chemically is that an enzymatic reaction, which produces your energy and builds your protein, is extremely slow or it stops if these coenzymes are not present. If you

put them in the cell, those coenzymes boost the activity of the enzymes and make them work very efficiently. So you produce a lot of energy, it's easy to make the proteins to build the cells, to

build the parts of the cell, and that's what these vitamins and minerals are, they're coenzymes. For instance, like I said, in magnesium, you have something like 400 different reactions in the

cell that are magnesium deficient, our medium, our

medium dependent. They're acting as coenzyme. They make the reaction take place. And if the reactions don't take place, the cell dies. And if it's slow, the cell is very deficient in producing

energy and building the proteins that make up the various parts of the body. So you see that these vitamins and minerals aren't some mysterious external thing. They're intimate to the function of

the cell They have to be there. And they have to be in a certain concentration. And that's why we're seeing these diseases increase enormously if they're deficient or they're absent. So what I've

done now, Russell, as I put up a slide about the mitochondria, and I was getting in, actually getting into what you were

saying, and that is the engine. The thing that keeps provides all the energy for the cell to work these 40. trillion cells to work is made up in this little mitochondria in which we just showed you

in the picture before. And on here is a series of chemicals that are lined up to produce energy. And here's glucose really beginning to supply the energy. If you don't get glucose, you don't make

it. You've seen the the hostages and these people are starved and you can see what happens to all the systems in the body. Any further comments about this? This is a cell membrane here, this is

the glucose getting into the cell memory. We talked about that in diabetes. And if there isn't enough insulin, it's hard for the glucose to get into the cell. And so it builds up in the body of

sugar in your blood and you get all the diabetes symptoms. And what it's what it's doing is a cell is starving for glucose, which it needs to provide this energy. You want to make any comment on

this and all these vitamins you're saying are integral to these chemical reactions here. What would you fill the page if we had it? Yeah, the first part of this is at the top, what you're seeing

is that it's happening outside of the mitochondria. That's mainly glycolysis. And it produces this chemical called peruvate. And then peruvate moves into the mitochondrion, into this inner

membrane, and it produces a chemical reaction called

a tricarbose acid reaction, which is Krebs

cycle. And it produces the vast majority of energy. The energy outside the mitochondrion is very minimal. Inside, it produces almost all of the energy of the cell. Well, mitochondrion have their

own DNA,

part of it So most of the mitochondrial function is due to DNA, mitochondrial DNA. it connects to the DNA of the cell for part of the reaction. And so they're working in conjunction. We also

realize

that mitochondrion can increase in number and they confuse. So this fusion and fission in mitochondrion is very important and a lot of that is controlled by flavonoids and by vitamins and minerals So

if they're deficient, the

mitochondrion is not working efficiently, your energy level falls, you have problems like fatigue and all the other reactions in the body are dependent on being supplied with sufficient energy.

Well, two of the organs that are most energy dependent are the heart and the brain. The brain never rests, the heart never rests. They're always functioning, they always need energy If the energy

is deficient. the first two things that's shut down of the brain and the heart. Interesting. Very interesting. Okay. That should be the background then for what you were going to tell us about

today, is some of these very essential substances and molecules, which

I'm going to. Dr. Bauch's discussion today will occur in five parts First is the introduction. The second is the basics of cellular biochemistry and anatomy. The third is immuno-excited toxicity

and the antioxidant

system and specific antioxidants and how they work. The anatomy of the mitochondria and microglial activation and then a summary. So what you're just talking about here, what we just saw in the

mitochondria, what was this tremendous energy store and there's not one mitochondria in a cell.

Some of them, depending upon what organ, it can have hundreds of them. So these are just hundreds of factories making energy and throughout the body, you multiply that by 40 trillion. It's

amazing. And with all those factories running, it needs a constant supply of these nutrients and essential vitamins and

minerals, which have changed over the last 100 years by our diet and by the phony diets that they're giving us. And it's also central, which you're gonna say, to a number of diseases. And so that

leads us into the topics you were gonna talk about. Well, what are some of the agents, these antioxidants that you've talked about? These are natural substances, but if you don't have 'em, you

need to supplement your diet with 'em And how essential and where do they act and work?

I generally talk about the antioxidant system.

Controlling the production of oxidants, the things that oxidize the cell and damage it, is responsible for almost every disease that we see. Most excitotoxicity is because of the production of

enormous number of free radicals and it oxidizes the various components of the cell, destroys them, we call them protein carbonyls, we call them a lipopolysaccharide, we call them

lipid oxidation products, we call them damage DNA, MDA, we see all of these different things that happen because of the production of free radical. So we have a system in the body, a number of

systems, to control them Well, number one in that antioxidant system is a vitamin. And number two is the minerals. So minerals act as antioxidant. And some of the most powerful are flavonoids.

And

we also have various enzymes that neutralize free radicals like SOD, superoxide dysmutase, and glutathione, glutathione peroxidase. So

we see a lot of antioxidant enzymes as well Well, those enzymes are dependent also on minerals and vitamins. So this is all interconnected. It is trying to protect the cell against damage by free

radicals caused by a pollutants, things we eat, things we're exposed to. It's always in a battle to lower those oxidated products and damage.

So let me just take a little aside here for the people who may need a little more detail about free radicals, because we have all these, we talked about 40 trillion cells, we talked about in the

cells that are filled with this, these multitude of chemical reactions that are going on, biological reactions that are going on all the time. And it's not reasonable to believe that every one of

those reactions are going to be totally normal. And sometimes we have either some abnormality might be caused by a toxin or something like that that disturbs a chemical and makes it unstable. One of

those chemicals in one of those finite reactions makes it unstable and that can lead to lots of other cascading events that would lead to more problems in disease. Is that

a fair summary? Right, that's very good summer.

It's a balance that we're trying to maintain, produce energy, but not produce too many free radicals. Almost all free radicals are normally produced by the mitochondria. There's a series of

reactions called the electron transport system, which passes electrons down the chain. Well, the first part of that chain produces almost all the free radicals in the body.

But you have all these things I just mentioned that neutralize those free radicals so they won't damage the cell. And if we look at disease, for instance, Parkinson's disease, we know there's a

deficiency in coenzyme

Q10 mainly affected the first part of that reaction, and that's why you have a buildup of free radicals that are destroying neurons in particular areas of the brain. Okay. Excellent diversion there.

So you want to go on with the discussion of antioxidants and what you're going to go next. We're going to talk about curcumin, or you had some other things just before that. Yeah, there's just a

group of flavonoids that we found are very important And all human disease, for instance, particularly. Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, ALS, and the various types of

dementia, and we find they're very important in health of the heart, cardiovascular system, prevention, and vascular sclerosis,

and that's primarily what we're interested in is, well, how do these flavonoids actually do that? What are they doing that is beneficial to all of us? Okay, what is a flavonoid? Well, a

flavonoid is a complex group of chemicals, and it generally has a pinto ring in it or a hexose ring in it, and several side chains to it, but it's very complex. Generally, what an oxidant does,

it's a very reactive chemical and it's deficient in the number of electrons in the outer orbital an antioxidant is a cell. that I mean a chemical that has excess electrons in a salad oracle, it will

donate them to that oxidant and neutralize it so it's no longer reactive. That's the difference between the two. I'm sorry. Are the flavonoids the things, the fruits and vegetables that are

colored? Is that was that what they're where you find them? Is that what is it? Well, that's what we think of most of them, but you can have invisible colorless flavonoids. Okay, so they get an

idea about that. I'm sorry, go ahead. I think that's great. Yeah, and you know, they're the most powerful things. And if you look at, for instance, there's a lot of talk about HDL being a

very powerful at preventing atherosclerosis, where there's a group of enzymes attached to it called POEM, and if the flavonoids are deficient, it's deficient in its antioxidant effect. And then so

HDL becomes damaging. It becomes inefficient at preventing atherosclerosis. So it all depends. If you're diet is deficient, if you're eating junk food, you're eating high omega-6 fat and various

pollutants like mercury and lead and aluminum, they're producing storms of free radicals, damaging cells, damaging the components of cells. One of the things most people don't think about is that

mitochondria is not just about energy, it also controls the amount of calcium in a cell. Calcium is the most abundant cell signaling apparatus compound inside of a cell. If it's too much calcium,

it produces neurodegeneration in cancer. If it's just right, then the cell is quite healthy. So, the control of the calcium content is very dependent on hydrokundria. And like I said, your

mitochondria depend on these nutrients. You can have a lot of mitochondria if you're well, nutritionally balanced, or you can be severely deficient if it's not, if these minerals or vitamins are

deficient or flavonoid

And then it can't control the calcium well. So the calcium rises in the cell and you get cancer. For instance, prostate cancer is very closely related to the intake of calcium. Person takes in too

much calcium as a high incidence of prostate cancer. Same thing we see with breast cancer. Interesting, okay.

So you wanna go on to some of the other or the antioxidants that are common, And I think you mentioned here on your sheet that you made out there's some 4, 000 undiscovered antioxidants. So we're

just scratching the surface of really what's essential in the body. Do you wanna talk about some of the key ones? Yeah, like it says, there's so far, we know there's over 4, 000 different

flaminoids found in foods and there's probably thousands or more.

For instance, let's just talk about

curcumin. Normally it comes from a spice, a turmeric. And if you separate it, you find out that curcumin is very powerful and it affects enormous number of these reactions. It's a very powerful

anti-inflammatory, it's anti-cancer It's a powerful free radical scavenger. it does many of these things to protect cells. And so when we look at people who have inflammatory diseases, we know

that inflammation is led by two main enzymes, which we call locks and cocks, two enzymes. Well, mostly anti-inflammatories we take as chemicals form super drugs All they address is the cocks one

and cocks two. They have no effect on locks in that. Well, if you shut off one, the other just takes over and the inflammation continues. And unlike a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, curcumin

inhibits both of them. And so you get a better control of inflammation in the body And as I've emphasized, inflammation is the cause of virtually every disease it affects humans. All your

atherosclerosis, your kidney disease, lung disease, heart disease, and your neurodegenerative disease in particular. So it's playing a very important part. In India, people eat a lot of

curcumin in their food, they mix it in the food. They have an Alzheimer's rate 44 times lower than the rest of the population in the West And they have an extremely low incidence of colon cancer.

So we see the diet and the lack of these flavonoid antioxidants is the leading cause of Alzheimer's disease and cancer of the colon. Interesting

And we start looking at these things where we begin to see that, well, what is curcumin actually doing? Well, one is it's increasing the mitochondrial function. It makes it more efficient. It's

one of the most efficient antioxidants we know of. It scavenges a lot of that out, a lot of oxenants. And in a cell, there's all kinds of oxenants. People think of oxenants as one type, but

there's all kind. There's the oxenants that act in the lipid parts of the cell, like the membranes And there's oxenants that operate mainly in the water reparts of the cell, like the cytosol. And

we have antioxidants that operate in particular areas. Some are just water soluble, some are fat soluble, and some do both. Well, the flavonoids do both. They can affect the pre radicals in the

water reparts of the cell, as well as the membranes. And they help protect them. So that's why they're one of the reasons stronger and more efficient. then the vitamins are mounds.

Okay, that's good. And I think what you said earlier, you said that all of these are, that inflammation is central, so basically all diseases. And up to now, in the past 100 years, you break

your bone, you take an x-ray, you see, I got a broken bone, but in a cast, you fix it. But there's been no way to tell if these biochemical reactions I've been disturbed, and we're probably

gonna be getting to that as we get through this century, so we can make a more precise analysis of what deficiency people have, and how that may lead to their Parkinson's disease, or Alzheimer's

disease, and so forth. So what you're saying is, fundamental to all these things is this process of inflammation, which is, essentially,

has been disturbed and it's going through this repair process and it's

kind of ying and yang trying to get better while something's trying to make it worse. And all of these are summarized in very complex metabolic reactions for which all these things you're talking

about are essential.

That's right. For instance, in the case of a broken bone or a cut, there's a period of inflammation. It only lasts a short period of time. It's very important dealing. But once it's over, the

inflammation is shut down and it stops. What we see in most chronic diseases is the inflammation continues, continues for decades, a lifetime. And it starts producing tremendous number of free

radicals and lipid peroxidation products which destroy the rest of the tissues and surrounding tissues. They enter the blood, they start destroying various components in the heart, in the brain,

in the lungs, in the kidneys. And so chronic inflammation eventually is gonna lead to a chronic disease. And when we look at every disease, we see inflammation is always involved. For instance,

like cancer, inflammation is involved in every step of the carcinogenic process Every step from the beginning to the end.

The reason is not just production of free radical, but it's also draining the cells of their antioxidant potential. So when we look at antioxidants in Alzheimer's patients, it's very low. When we

look at the

amount of omega-3 fats in Alzheimer's disease, is far lower than everybody else.

We're beginning to understand that the reason you're getting these diseases and the reason is progressing is because the cell no longer has their protective elements, these antioxidants, these

flaminoids, to protect it. Curcumin has been found to be a very powerful anti-carcidgenic agent and an anti-nergygenative agent. And the reason is the same They're both caused by chronic

inflammation. One is affecting the metabolism of the cell, which is the cancer. And the other is affecting not only the metabolism, but also the function of the nervous system. And that leads to

dementia, Parkinson's disease, ALS, the other diseases. Oh, and that's curcumin, 'cause I know you recommended it and I take it actually. This curcumin is actually a very safe drug units has

all these. anti-inflammatory properties. And in fact, I think I looked it up. You correct me if I'm wrong. But if you compare that with acetaminophen, which is toxic, it has an equal anti-pain

effect. And with it, you get all these antioxidant benefits.

And am I right about that? Yes, and what they're not looking at is acetaminophen, the Tylenol fact is that it is producing a toxic effect on the liver, can destroy the liver, and it can result in

death.

In children who take Tylenol when they're infected, they're more likely to die and have serious complications of the infection, the childhood disease. Well, what is recommended for all these

children to get sick? Take Tylenol. Right. What was the number one recommendation for COVID infection?

And so now you've introduced a toxin, the liver is struggling to detoxify it, and the virus is also producing toxins and inflammation. So actually it's worse for you, but the curcumin, what it

does is it neutralizes it, it actually makes the mitochondrial healthier, more functional, a better antioxidant itself, and producing more energy.

One of the inflammatory cytokines, TNF alpha, is considered a master inflammatory chemokines. We see it in all diseases like heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases. We see it in kidney

disease and liver disease And if you lower it, the pathology gets unbelievably better.

and the person gets a lot better. Well, one of the most powerful inhibitors of the TNF alpha is flavonoids, for instance, like cocutinum

and TGCG, which comes from a green T and white T and resveratrol. They're all powerful at lowering TNF alpha, one of the worst of the inflammatory compound. We also see it with a DHA and a MEGAS-3

fat. It also lowers TNF alpha. So the beneficial effects of most of the flavonoids have a great deal to do with reducing the very thing that's producing all of these diseases, and that is

inflammation and free radical damage And inflammation produces tremendous numbers of free radical.

So you mentioned

TCGC, it's a catechins and T, and you mentioned, you didn't go, you didn't mention, you mentioned omega-3 fatty acids, we've talked about that before in resveratrol,

and people were wondering with why the people in France who would consume wine with their meals, why they weren't becoming, their livers didn't become,

oh, this is over life, why their livers weren't infected with toxic alcoholic disease, and they had increased longevity. And I think they found it was related to flavonoid, which is called

resveratrol, resveratrol,

and

that's a supplement that you can have. it's another anti-oxid. Is that correct? Yeah, that's correct. And for instance, the grape, if it's exposed to sunlight to protect itself, produces lots

of resveratrol. And resveratrol is a very powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation, reduces

TNF alpha. And that's one of the benefits. It also loads amyloid in the brain. And this crud that accumulates in the brain that they thought was the cause of Alzheimer's, but it's the result of

inflammation. Inflammation produces amyloid. And if you control the inflammation, amyloid disappears. Well, DHA and the EGCG and curcumin and quercidin, they all lower amyloid. And in fact,

the curcumin particularly accumulates and we'll dissolve it. So when we look at animal species, which we induce Alzheimer's changes with this high level amyloid, we find the amyloid almost all

disappears with these flavonoid supplements. It's decreased in the brain, also with omega-3 fats. It disappears in the brain. Well, the pharmaceutical company has all these dangerous drugs The

lower amyloid in the brain, but they don't reduce inflammation. And they produce some serious complications. Well, we don't have complications with curcumin, quercid and resveratrol and these

other things. They even tried curcumin in huge dose to see if there's any toxicity. They found no toxicity, which is incredibly safe a problem with curcumin as a raw product. It's very poorly

absorbed from the GI tract. And so they make a nano curcumin, which is a very small form of curcumin molecules. It's highly absorbed and distributed throughout the body and in the cell. So they

made a whole series of nano products of

these flavonoids that are difficult to absorb and they found the same thing They were getting tremendous enhancement of antioxidant effect, the free radical scavenging effect, and the health of the

organism.

No, one thing that you mentioned here in your talk and you were interviewed by the epic times on this subject was omega-3 fatty acids. And we talked about that in the diabetes We talked about that

in atherosclerosis. particularly in one of your Dr. Blalock reports. Just for a brief side

area here, can you go into describing for our viewers what's omega-3 fatty acids and what's omega-6 because there's a vast difference and our diet has a lot to do with that? Could you talk about

that for a little bit? Yeah, we used to call the omega-6 fats like corn oil, peanut oil, sapphire oil, sunflower oil, canola oil.

They have a large number of unsaturated bonds. Well, the problem with having a large number

of unsaturated bonds is they oxidize very easily. And so these oils become very oxidized. And if you consume them, then your body will oxidize them and they're bad for your health. Well, some of

these fatty acids that are megasex are essential.

what they're in very low level. And we found that the average Western diet, the amount of omega-6 fats is 50 times what is considered safe. And so people in the West that are eating a Western diet

are eating far too many omega-6 fats. Well, the omega-3 fats have been found to be composed of two components, the EPA and the DHA, and the brain and most cells in the body are composed of a DHA

type fat.

There's very little EPA in the body. EPA is an immune and anti-inflammatory type chemical. The DHA also reduces inflammation, but it does it by a different method So the worse the information, the

more the DNHA produces it. anti-inflammatory. And they found that people with the lowest DHA level at the highest Alzheimer's rate, and that if you look at any group of people with Alzheimer's,

they have low DHA in their brain. And that's

because it's utilized to make these neurons function and function properly And the synapse in the brain, where the two cells connect, also are dependent on DHA. And if it's deficient, the synapse

does not work right. Well, you look at Alzheimer's and other dementias, their first effect is on the synapse. It's a synaptic disease, and it extends to the rest of the neuron because it won't

work. You're saying several things here that are important One is the omega-3 fatty acids. which are found in the Mediterranean diet, which are predominantly in fish. I'm right about that, is

that correct? That's right. And if we eat a meat diet, it's not necessarily the meat 'cause you educated me about that before, but it's the fats that they make the French fries and all the meat in,

and they become hyperoxidized, which is what you said is dangerous. That gets into the blood, and they are very pro-inflammatory Is that correct? That's right. They did a study of restaurants,

particularly fast food restaurants. They found out they were using these omega-6 oils for a month at a time. Well, every time you heat them, they become oxidized. So by the time your French fries

or your chicken is cooked in these oils, they're highly oxidized. And when you consume them, they're already oxidized.

that much more in your blood that's mainly already oxidized. And it produces atherosclerosis, dementia, all of these neurological disease and neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson,

heart damage, vessel damage, kidney damage, liver damage. And so when we look at the Western diet, we're consuming so many of these on a regular basis, day after day, it's producing tremendous

harm in the body. And you're not getting the DHA, which most membranes in the body are made of. They protect the cell against changes of

cancer. They protect the cells against pre-radical. So the DHE is very important to the function of all cells, particularly brain cells.

So now we're getting this, we turned 180 degrees 'cause you started out talking about the diet we would have and people really didn't know much about this until 1900s and from that time on we've had

a deficiency, profound deficiency and we show two charts, one in how all these metals and all these substances in the soil are now going almost to zero and how the whole population has become

deficient in a number of vitamins and essential substances and

here we are left with the body being exposed to various kinds of challenges whether it's pesticides or some kind of inhaled substance or you can even have microwave radiation damaging the cell and

they're reacting to it with an inflammatory process which you've said is central So what's going to happen to diseases? in general, and just hasn't taken the front row seat in the 21st century, but

that's what you're saying. And now we're coming full circle, and we found that using these flavonoids and supplements, which are basically non-toxic, have a crucial effect in this, these millions

and billions of reactions that are going on in the body constantly, trying to keep it stable

And you just mentioned, here's something that's in our diet, which is omega-6 fatty acids. People like to eat meat, and they go to the restaurant, and they get french fries, and they get french

fried onion rings, and all the rest. And these have a lot of substances in it, which are very inflammatory to the body. And the reason the people on the Mediterranean diet did well is because they

were on fruits and vegetables, which has the flavonoids you talked about And it's fish, which has omega-3 fatty acids. which is why they did better. And why on the western diet we've had, as we

got away from the sea, I mean, I live in Las Vegas, and it's harder to get fish here.

And so I'm looking at it and the population is affected by that, but we used to live near in the Great Lakes region or in the California near the sea in the ocean where the fish is plentiful, which

it was in earlier times, because people used to live near rivers so that you could use it for transportation and civilization. So we've had a lot of mounted conveniences, which have been great,

but they're also leaving us some real toxic problems. So now I think you want to get into a little bit about micro glial activation, or did you want to say any more about some of the antioxidants?

I think you covered them pretty well. Yeah, I think the micro glial activation is critically important. Because all these chemicals you name like pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides,

particularly a fungicide

called maneop, produces Parkinson's disease. And the other pesticides and herbicides are

also associated with Parkinson's disease. So people exposed to the fumes and are getting it on their skin, they have a high incidence of Parkinson's disease And it's because it destroys the

mitochondrion and activates the microglia in that area. Well, the area of the brain infections Parkinson's disease has the highest density of microglia of any part of the brain. And we see it's

activated in this disease. And the normal brain is they're not activated. Dr. Sam, Dr. Boak's discussion today will occur in five parts. First is the introduction.

The second is the basics of cellular biochemistry and anatomy. The third is immuno-exciter toxicity and the antioxidant system and specific antioxidants and how they work. Anatomy of the

mitochondria and microglial activation and then a summary. Rosal, this is, as you were getting into describing all of how these things happen These are these free radicals, this is a reactive

oxygen species or other reactive species like nitrogen species and so forth. They're a product of these, this tremendous number of metabolic reactions going on in the mitochondria. And when they go

on, these are the things that cause the chemical reactions throughout the cell and the body to become unstable and they can lead to tumor effects and other toxic effects And that's what you were

getting to. Do you want to make a comment about this before I go to the next slide? that you made on the microglial.

Yeah, and basically what you have ROS and RNs, reactive oxygen species and reaction nitrogen species. And what a lot of people don't understand is that when the body produces a superoxide radical,

it's fairly mild radical to a moderate radical, but it combines with nitric oxide to form peroxide nitrite, which is one of the most powerful free radicals in the body. We find an Alzheimer's

disease, we find it in heart disease, we find it in a lot of diseases, high levels of peroxide nitrite. Well, not many things neutralize peroxide nitrite, and curcuminous is one that will

neutralize it. So we'll coerce it in the cations that we discussed. They neutralize that radical.

you're seeing a microglia that has become activated. And normally the microglia are resting in your brain. They're scattered heterogeneously throughout the brain. And they send out these little

pseudopodia, there's little parts of the cell that you see sticking out here. And normally they're tasting and chemically testing the environment to make sure there's nothing out there that's gonna

cause them trouble, particularly glutamate.

If there's an irritation of the microglia, anything, even systemically, and the rest of your body, immediately within a minute, the microglia in the brain and the spinal cord will be activated.

When it's activated, all it's enzymes are bloosing, these toxic elements is increased. Mr. We see an increased generation of glutamate, We see an increase in the inflammatory

cytokines, particularly our antilukin, one beta, TNF alpha antilukin, six, and look at two. And then we see a special inflammatory chemical called quinolinid acid, and we see arachnodonic acid.

All of these things are inflammatory chemicals. They produce

inflammation in the surrounding area, and they produce these reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which are the pre-radical.

So I have on the left side of that slide the peroxide nitrate on the right side lipid peroxidation. That's what happens is the reactive oxygen, nitrogen species react with a fan in the cell, and

will produce these lipid peroxidation products, which are also damaging And those will also Also, uh. a fact that mitochondrion in the brain cell, neuron cell, and produce dysfunction of that

mitochondrion. So it's no longer functioning right. It's not producing enough energy. Well, that has effect on the person of the whole and has effect on whatever organ that happens to be in. If

it's in the brain, their brain is affected. It's in the heart, the heart, and the liver, and the pancreas, and the kidneys So we see that it's interfering with the ability of the mitochondria,

not only to produce energy, but also to control the calcium content. And then you have acceleration of excitotoxicity by that activation. And I've coined this name, immuno-excitotoxicity, and

I've introduced it in a number of articles, which now being widely discussed and several people have said There's no question it's the cause of

Alzheimer's disease. And now they're looking at

Parkinson's disease and saying, well, there's no question, but immuno-exciter toxins is causing. And that's because the immune system intimately connects to the release of glutamate, which is an

exciter toxin. It excites brain cells to produce more free radicals, more damage, and eventually will kill the cell.

So that's what we're seeing in these neurodegenerative diseases. Well, we also found there's glutamate receptors in every organ in the body, every tissue, heart, lung, kidneys, testes,

everything. And if you have high levels of

glutamate produced by these cells, it will produce exciter toxins to destroy the cell Well, you don't have microglia in the liver and the pancreas. which you'd have a macrophage. A macrophage acts

just like a microglia. It produces glutamate. It produces inflammatory cytokines. They interact to drastically produce damage inside the cell and can kill the cell. That seems to be the basis of

most of these diseases and destruction of the brain and destruction of the organs and tissues Is this production of this immuno-excited toxicity? Let me make a statement here. Is the other day I was

working with some papers and I got a paper cut. And everybody gets a, has gotten a paper cut. You know, usually it's like a knife slice deep, deep and it's painful and it's a very, it's just

like the paper. It's like a very thin slice. And I watch this over a period of time. And I saw that around this cut, there was an intense amount of redness, which is inflammation, which is the

blood vessels dilating and all these microglia or peripheral white cells entering in the area, because there's been damage, just like you said, and now they're highly active. And there had to be,

if there wasn't one cell like we're seeing in this picture, there must have been thousands, if not millions, in there that were attracted to this area, and there are signals that go out to the

rest of the cells in the body to come and help me out here. I need some more troops here to offset this damage. And so with that, you bring good things, you bring bad things into it, and those

are what you were mentioning, it brings more glutamate in, it brings more cytokines in there, which are sending signals to the cell to do various things and other things. And then we've got more

chemical reactions, producing more free radicals leading to damage. And so it's a conscious, constant yin and yang, and eventually the swelling and the redness went down. And the finger was warm.

Everybody's gone through this in their life. And that was, I couldn't see it with a microscope, but I knew that was what was happening. And so what you've described here in this picture is one

cell. And you're talking about we're back to 40 trillion cells and above 40 trillion cells in the body where this immense number of reactions are going on And let's say we attack one part of the body,

you get this whole series of reactions that occur that produces an immune reaction. If the body is successful, it quells it. If it's not successful, and this is gonna get into what I wanted you to

talk about, which is activation of the white cells. Because you may, obviously, the cut and the finger went away. But if I'm like a boxer,

and I'm in a boxing ring and you wrote your paper 20 years ago about this and they constantly get him hit in the head which hurts trauma to the nerve cells and to the cells around there. This

reaction is being recurring and recurring. You want to talk about micro glial activation and how that happens and what can we do to stop it and that gets going to get back to all the flavonoid and

antioxidants.

Yeah, basically what they discovered, which is called sickness behavior, is when you catch a flu or some other infection like the flu,

you immediately go through these neuropsychiatric problems. You don't want to sleep a lot, you don't want to socialize, you have difficulty thinking, putting your thoughts together, and we call

that sickness behavior, and they've discovered that that's because the mitochondria were activated. by whatever happened in your arms or legs or whatever where you were injured. And it's creating

these chemicals which are inflaming the brain and interfering with energy production. And until that stops,

you have these problems where you get over their virus and the cell has a mechanism in order to shut it all down and reverse it and change it to anti-inflammatory state So the microglia can be in an

inflammatory state, that's called M1, or it could switch to a resting state, which is called M2, in which it shuts all these things down and starts reversing. Well, a lot of damage is done by

immunologic reaction to viral infection or bacterial infection. And it has to be repaired where we found that these cells start secreting brain derived neurotrophic factor They start reversing it.

and they started fixing the damage that was done by the immune reaction. Well, in certain conditions, you don't allow that to happen. For instance, as Dr. Allison was saying, in a boxer, he

gets hit in the head, the microglia is activated, and starts secreting these damaging chemicals, but instead of letting it rest, he gets hit again in another boxing match or in during his training.

And it produces a worsening of this effect, we call it primate. And that increases the worsening of that effect, so that instead of switching to that M2 anti-inflammatory,

it switches back to the M1 microglia, which is inflammatory, but now it's even more inflammatory than it was with the first blow And if you know about boxing. most damage to the head is during

sparring, not the actual boxing match. They can get terribly brain damage, and this is what happened to Muhammad Ali. He was constantly sparring, they said that his damage to his brain was

tremendous during sparring, and the microglia became more and more inflammatory, was never allowed to rest, and he eventually developed Parkinson's disease. But like I said, the part of the brain

affected in Parkinson's, and it's the highest concentration of microglia of any part of the brain.

Okay, this is, I think, what you wanted to talk about here, and this is your, you want to describe this is your, the microglia we saw before, then it becomes very activated, and it's causing

damage to the neuron, and all these other reactions are occurring. Can that help you explain a little bit,

Yeah, what you see is the switching. It's in the resting state, the microglia, normally, where it's not doing this damage. In fact, it's secreting things that help build and repair the

surrounding neurons in synapses and dendrites. And then the injury happening, and the microglia was switched to an inflammatory state at the bottom and it starts secreting all of these harmful

chemicals. It's a crease glutamate. It's secreting

tumor necrosis factor alpha lookin' and sixth in the inflammatory cytokine. That damages any surrounding neurons,

synapse, axon, and so unless it shuts that down and switches back to the resting microglia, then you get tremendous damage And what they found in

one case of trauma to the brain The microglia were activated 17 years later, long after the accident.

In autism, they did a study of numerous autistic patients, up to the age 40, and they found out that the microglia remained activated even to age 40, all the way from childhood, and it was

continuously interfering with the brain's function

So we can see that these microglia can be activated for tremendously long time. Well, many of these flavonoids, like the catacens, the resveratrol, the omega-3 fats, and curcumin, they switched

the microglia to the anti-inflammatory state, and they lower TNF alpha, and in looking one baby is prevented from being secreted from the microglia. So they reduce inflammation, they reduce the

damage, and they reduce the free radical damage. Now you're into how we can inhibit the microglial activation I talked about, the finger cut I got, and obviously the cells are probably going to

remember that. If it's like Muhammad Ali, and they keep getting hit in the brain, they just never recover, and they are in this chronically activated state, and not only that, but it's, they

become hyper reactive, and that can lead to the damage, and then what you're getting into now is how do we inhibit, and this gets to all the flavonoids you talked about, how do we inhibit the

activation of the microglia because it's central to all this? Yeah, for instance, when they looked at omega-3 fatty acids, if you lower them, it increased inflammation. It increased the The test,

the C-reactive protein, it was increased. That shows there's inflammation presence. It increased the production of free radicals, just by lowering magnesium. If you raise the magnesium back to

normal, all that went away.

And this is basically what happens in the body when you get a paper cut. The inflammation is part of the healing process. It's killing bad bacteria, and it's releasing healing chemicals, or it's

just in the brain, like brain deriving or tropic factor, which heals the wound. And once it's healed, there's a system that shuts it all off. The macrophages in your skin, where you got the

paper cut, are shut off. And the repair is basically finished, and it doesn't need the inflammation any longer where you can imagine will. What if it healed and it remained inflamed? It didn't

stop. That's like what happens in your brain with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's. And such, you just have a sore spot on your finger with that paper cut that never healed. It remained inflamed,

remained destroyed. And then you would start getting ulceration. You would start killing the cells around the cut. And that's what's happening in your brain Here's the slide that you talked about

at the very beginning, and here's magnesium.

Dr. Bauch's discussion today will occur in five parts. First is the introduction. The second is the basics

of cellular biochemistry and anatomy. The third is immuno-exciter toxicity and the antioxidant system and specific antioxidants and how they work In that of me, the mitochondria. and microglial

activation and then a summary. And 68 of the population is deficient in that substance, which is essential in the reactions you're just talking about. That's right. I mean, you just take a normal

person, you lower their magnesium, they become inflamed. The blood level shows a higher TNF alpha and leukin-6 and leukin-1 beta, the inflammatory cytokines. Your

CRP goes, you see, reactive protein. If you replace the magnesium, that all returns to normal. Same thing with the omega-3 fats. If you lower them, the inflammatory chemicals, it came out kind

and

the

different inflammatory chemicals that are secreted, the increase in content If you raise the omega-3 fatty acid. they shut off and it all goes away. So with this chart, you're seeing that the vast

number of the population is deficient in some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging elements. Right. Here you are, vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium were folate. We just

talked about that in vitamin

B12 Folate deficiency produces neurological deformities in the fetus, vitamin E. Look at that tremendous, almost up to 100 with vitamin E. So we come full circle. Actually, we started out

telling everybody a little bit of how we got into the diets we're into, how we changed from a farming society to an industrial society we gave up our fish mostly because. everything was mechanized

and the food was mass produced. And then we got into processed foods which are damaging to you. Some of the farm products we usually raised on a normal farm environment will now contaminated with

antibiotics and pesticides, which we were ingesting. And all

of this leads up to something that people didn't realize toward the end of the century, the end of 2000, where they began to put out what your, your dietary, not necessary dietary supplementation

should be. And that went into cereals you have. And they say the recommended daily value you should have. And many of those are underestimated. And you talked once before about a pediatrician.

And I think it was Washington, Seattle, wasn't it?

Or as an Oregon. Oregon who measured with a large pediatric population and found that 100 of them. or vitamin D deficient, 100 incredible. So, and this goes on for a lifetime. And you can then

imagine what people are talking about today about chronic diseases. It just doesn't happen because last week you didn't have enough magnesium. It's been going on for a while. So I think you've done

a superb job of covering what they, and then the other thing is you can overcome a lot of this by taking some antioxidants, which are common in the diet. They're in fruits, they're in vegetables

and so forth. Sometimes you have to supplement them in higher amounts. You've talked before about

vitamin B12, which many are deficient in, and you measure that easily the same with vitamin D, which you can get by going out in the sun and talked about various flavonoids and we'll put all the

titles on the slides so everybody knows. And it gets to the basic understanding

we are having diseased population. And

Robert Kennedy is talking about the increasing childhood diseases. And you've talked about this before because the vaccines are acting as another toxin to set off

all these same reactions.

And you found that also in a form of diabetes. So anyway,

I think it was a perp summary Anything else you wanted to add that we didn't cover. I mean, this is what we're talking about, a fundamentals of medicine and in an hour here, but anything the key

that you think we should have mentioned. Well, you know, one of the things they've discovered was that even with minor surgery in the periphery of the body, the hand or leg, microglia

automatically activated in the brain And fortunately, with heels, it might be clear, shut off.

Well, with vaccination, you're artificially producing inflammation that lasts for decades, and the aluminum in the vaccine goes to the brain and produces activation constantly for your whole life.

So this is what Robert King is talking about I just finished a paper in which I showed that you're giving these vaccines at the period 90 of the brain is being formed. And I went through all of the

effects, what that has, how to alter the development of that brain and the physiology of the brain.

So we have absolute proof of these things now It's all very scientific and

people are ignoring that. Most doctors have never heard of it, they don't know anything about it. And that's why I've been trying to popularize immuno-exciter toxicity, get people's attention to

realize this has been well demonstrated in experimental animals and human disease and its version of the cause of all neurodegenerative diseases and may have a great deal to do with other diseases as

well. I wrote an article for your journal linked again to autoimmune disease that all autoimmune diseases are connected with high levels of glutamate being released in that area by the inflammatory

cells. All inflammatory cells lymphocytes, macrophages,

monocytes, mast cells, they all released tremendous amounts of glutamate when activated and that's being totally ignored by the vast majority of the medical profession. They don't know about it I

want the audience to know that. This is a concept that Russell has worked on for over 20 years. He's had some very key associates who contributed to this,

and inflammation is the disease, the 21st century, as I've said it. It's been going on for years. Nobody know it because you can't see it on an x-ray. You can't find it in any way, but as we

showed, there's 40 trillion cells with incredibly incredible number of complex reactions going on that require all these chemicals to appear. It's like a mass production factory assembly line that

they have to have the engine appear at the right time and the tires and so forth so they can put the car together. And if they don't, they're deficient in the car won't work. And I think you're

going to deserve huge credit for in years to come for people pointing this out to people as a fundamental problem. And you've also talked about one of the substances you can use that will counteract

a microglial activation and all these free radicals that are generated with the antioxidants that you can get off the shelf. Now, one last thing I wanted to ask you. In this kind of, unfortunately

Russell, it comes into everything we talk about, but the pharmaceutical industry is out to destroy the supplement industry. So you can't get them from the drugstore. And therefore they control

them You wanna tell people about that for a few minutes because this is a fight going on and it's a fight over money and control. You wanna talk about that for a few minutes and then we will wrap it

up. Yeah, this is something I've researched for a long time. I belong to a group of physicians who are studying this. And the pharmaceutical companies has always been the enemy of the natural

supplements For instance, we were talking about. probiotics for decades before mainland medicine had ever heard them or admitted they had any influence. Now there's tremendous research and they

like to act like they discovered it. We've been talking about it for decades, the importance of probiotics. Now it's a science in itself

We discovered many things in medicine that they completely ignored. They had no idea what it was doing. The farming that we were talking about, deficiency in the vitamins, deficiency in the

magnesium, we've talked about for decades for almost 100 years. The medical profession totally ignored it. They still ignored. When I was a resident in neurosurgery, we used to have patients that

had terrible injuries their brain. They would hang a D5 and water. which is dextrose and water. They've got that for months. They receive no vitamins, no minerals, nothing but that. And then

they would give them two feet 'em after a while. The two feeding contained toxins, glutamine the of inflammation increase know we that substances various, brain and

lack of healing And when I was a resident, my patients got all of these things intravenously and they did four better. Unbelievably better than everybody else. And one of the general surgeons wrote

a big thick book on nutrition and

general surgery. And it covers all of this, a lot of this. I learned a great deal from the book. For instance, vitamin C after an injury, the level goes to almost zero and

positions. totally ignore that. Where you got a sick patient, comes in the hospital, you don't realize they have no vitamin C, they have some of the chemicals that are absolutely essential for

flight, and they're ignored the whole time that patient is under your care. Giving medications that actually drain them.

They had patients who get demented because they're magnesium deficient They would give them

this D5 in water, and we know that if you increase carbohydrate intake, the thymine falls tremendously low, and they can go into a coma and die from it. That's well known, but well known only

among the biochemists and nutritionists. It's not known by the general physician. And that's the problem is we've got all of these things that are well known. well-researched, and

they're denying it, they're using drugs that are extremely toxic, have a lot of side effects, and they're gonna affect the patient for error. And a lot of them, it's gonna kill them. And you had,

we have got a couple of videos that you made on the SI Digital website about pre-operative and post-operative nutrition. I remember you said there, because you worked on a burn unit, that the

people post-operative with a regular surgery, post-operative are basically in a metabolic crisis, which is similar to what you saw in burn patients, 30 burn patients. Did I recite that correctly?

Yeah, it was head injuries. And they found just a pure head injury, their metabolic changes were equal to a 30 third degree burn phase, which is tremendous. So I think there's a fabulous job and

it's an education in itself. We appreciate it, well, you know, you're gonna be back to do some more of these. And I wanna thank you for everybody and thank you for this tremendous insight into

what is the 21st century major fundamental disease process. You might welcome, I hope that has an effect. Okay, thank you so much Russell, appreciate it.

These are the key references in charge to this talk. Be prepared to take screenshots for your records that you can use for subsequent information and as you refer back to this.

This is the antioxidant slide I just showed you at the beginning. Talking about the antioxidant system, made up of vitamins and minerals,

and antioxidant enzymes, and the very specific antioxidant agents, which are very powerful, manocharcomin, natal kerstatin, omega-3

fatty acids, resveratrol, magnesium, and so forth.

This is a series of references to this talk. There's almost 50 references Take a screenshot of this so you can use it for your records and use it to further look into these references.

These are references to 11 through 20 on the antioxidant system.

Take a screenshot here

These are references to the antioxidant 3, 21 through 30, 29.

Take a screenshot of this slide. And the last three references in this anti-oxidant system presentation.

This is followed by a series of charts we refer to. You may want for your records and you could take screenshots of these also. This indicates the amount of nutrition that Americans have studied by

the US. Department of Agriculture showing that the percentage of population not meeting the required daily amount, RDA, and you can see tremendous deficiencies in very essential minerals and

vitamins.

This is a slide which we'll refer to showing over 100 years, 120 years, of the various nutrients in the soil, phosphorus, selenium, copper, magnesium, cobalt, calcium, sink and iron are

depleted with new farming methods. And also, in addition, there's herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides, adding to your diet and subtracting a central nutrient you need to make all these

chemical reactions go.

This is a slide of a

cell showing the nucleus and the blue and the various structures in the cell, which are responsible for making the proteins. With a little small mitochondria, which are the energy factories, which

drives that cell. There could be up to 100 mitochondria in a very tiny cell.

This is a more detailed look at the mitochondria which Dr. Blair liked discusses, showing our glucose gets into the cell through the membrane and is metabolized to pyruvate, which then gets into

the mitochondria in itself,

a tricarb dioxide cycle, which eventually winds up making energy that drives all of the equations and all the reactions that are going on in the body.

This is a slide on what happens with microglial activation and how this precipitates a response with various chemical substances secreted, which can be toxic and activate the cell or damage the

neuron. And he talks about those with a list on the side of the substances released.

And this is a slide we showed you on a series of events that occur with microglial activation when the

white cell or the microglial cell is activated in a central nervous system and goes through a process of secreting and. making all kinds of chemicals, some of which are very harmful, some of which

are sending messages to other cells, eventually lining up with free radical generation, which our substances are very active and can destroy, all these chemical reactions that are going on in the

body, eventually can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and immuno-exciter toxicity, which he, a term or she coined.

Foundation supporting these journals has the first journal, which is Surgeon Neurology International It's inter-inchief is Nancy Epstein. It's an internet journal, probably one of the first

internet journals, certainly a neurosurgery. And in others started 15 years ago, it's what address is sniglobal. And this journal, which is SI Digital Innovations and learning on all video,

internet journal, interactive with discussion, it's what addresses us in idigitalorg.

Both are free 247, 365 on the internet. Surgical Neurology International is read in 239 countries and territories after 15 years of publication, and it's the third largest neurosurgery publication

in the world. And SI Digital has been published just for the past 15 months. It's already in 151 countries. It's an all-video neurosurgery journal The Foundation believes in helping people

throughout the world.

This recorded session is available free on SI Digital. Click on the blue icon at the bottom right of the home page if you have questions, comments, or requests for CME credit.

Remember that SI Digital programs, like the one you're watching, are offered on podcasts on Apple, Amazon, and Spotify podcasts under SI Digital

Foundation also sports a medical news network to bring truthful medical and science news to the world.
