Question
“What are the causes of a twisted colon?”  [0:02:45]

Answer
Well, the probably most common that I'm familiar with in my 45 years of practicing medicine is what we call an adhesion. So let's say you get a bad infection, some kind of a peritonitis, let's say you get a ruptured appendix, you get an infected gallbladder, you get infections there somehow, and that creates inflammation and inflammation triggers for healing and the inflammatory response to any injury. That will then send all kinds of white cells and collagen/mast cells to the site of injury, and that can create like a scar. And that then creates stickiness or scar tissue. If the cause of the inflammation doesn't clear up and you're not hydrated well enough, what will happen then is other bowels, because your bowels are slowly moving. We call it kind of borborygmi. All the time, there's activity going on. And if there's a sticky part here and something is coming, it might get stuck to it, and then it'll try to twist on itself, and then you can get what we call volvulus. 

Another thing that can happen is you could have a tumor. And tumors can grow and invade, and therefore the mobility again of the gut tube is kinked, you might say, or tethered to that spot where the tumor is growing and expanding into the other tissues around it. Those are the most common causes. I had a patient who, in her 20s and 30s, she started having lots of intermittent abdominal cramping episodes and nausea. Eventually, they did colonoscopies and endoscopies. They couldn't find anything. She was, I believe, a blood type A. Anyway, it would come and go, come and go. And then finally, one time after many years, she just wasn't passing gas anymore. And so, they hospitalized her, and they saw on the X-rays distended bowels, gassy, blown up, kind of like balloon bowels. And they put her on IV fluids and no food. And she quieted down. And then it recurred. She had like four or five hospitalizations for this kind of activity. They did do surgery. They did remove some of this, which we call adhesions and scar tissue. And it just was another source of another site where there was irritation, and she would get another scar, healing adhesion, another sticky bowel, and another episode. So, she finally came to me, I think, in her late 30s or very early 40s, and we went through the tried and true complete holistic practice that all good doctors should have of talking about her blood type, how she digests, and looking at her complete stool. Now, it's the rage, and I'm so happy that other doctors are making exciting statements about this. It's about time that they're all starting to do this. I'm very happy to see it, so that more and more patients are getting this kind of more informed care.

Then the next thing we went over was her food allergies. We found her blood type. We helped give her digestive enzymes. We put her on a very restricted diet for a season of her life. And suddenly she stopped having all these terrible cramping episodes, or if she had them, they were much, much milder, and she started to be able to identify if she ate off, off of her, you know, more restricted diet, and then she found triggering foods that would show up within a day or two. Even four days later, these foods could slowly mount an immune reaction that would peak at four days after eating them. And then she was never hospitalized again. She never really bothered to go back to her gastroenterologist again. And so, we just managed her through probiotics and digestive enzymes. We give her a rotating, simplistic one-menu day. That means she'll choose a protein and a vegetable that's typically cooked with, you know, salt and pepper and butter primarily as her main ingredients. And she'll eat that for her whole day. She doesn't change from breakfast to a different thing at lunch to a different thing at dinner. That's marketing. That's too much immune shock to the system. And she lives quite well doing that now and has done very, very well. 

Question
“If someone fasted for over 24 hours before a blood draw, would it distort the accuracy of the glucose part of the test?”  [0:08:26]

Answer
Well, in general, it depends on the person. If it's a healthy, younger person, it really shouldn't make a big difference. But the older you get, the more you become stressed by fasting, and your cortisol response can become more serious, which means cortisol can help mobilize sugar, so that if you're an older person and you don't normally fast over 24 hours ever, then your body is not going to be used to this and acclimatized, you might say. And the prolonged fast of 24 hours will create a stressor. That stress will then generate cortisol. That cortisol will then have an impact on the morning blood sugar. There's already a dawn effect that most or all of us have to some degree. Cortisol will start being secreted somewhere around 4:00 in the morning, or shortly thereafter, to help arouse you and mobilize glycogen in your liver, to help wake you up and get you ready for the day. That's a geo-stratospheric electronic wave, a phenomenon of the planets and the sun, and the rising energy of the sun coming up for sunrise. That'll wake you up, and there will be a little dawn effect, you might say. But if you do something more significant, like a 24-hour fast to try and get a really good lab result, you might get an opposite effect and get a little worsening of your blood sugar in the morning. So, yes, it would destroy the accuracy of part of the test, and this would show up more in people who are out of shape or older in general. 

Question
“Have you heard of Transfer Factor? My sister was diagnosed with a type of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma. Suggestions?”  [0:11:01]

Answer
So long ago, it's embarrassing. Decades ago. Praise God. I'm just so glad to see so many doctors are realizing that their medical education was really skewed into a pharmaceutical-controlled medical hospitalist kind of industry to market the hospital, surgical, and pharmaceutical management for their business plan. But good doctors, and certainly we're seeing more being trained now with this nutrition, many, many doctors would care for their patient population by preventing disease, and these doctors, way back when I did my second doctorate in integrative medicine in the late 1990s, we were learning about the immune system and about targeting an immune reaction to a tumor cell to try and identify it so your own immune system could chew it up, and this is now part of what research is showing like in the treatment with Keytruda for malignant melanomas. Transfer Factor is an actual trade name of a nutrient that was used about 20 years ago. I used it. I think, where was I 20 years ago…well, I was here. So it must have been maybe 30 years ago or 28 years ago. We used it at Whitaker Wellness, and it was an a compilation of things that boosted T-cell function, killer cell, NK killer cell function and that's what my personal experience is with that, and the entire field of immuno research for trying to, treat cancers and unmask them from their way of hiding from your own detection in a body as a foreign element. So, another thing is systemic enzymes. Systemic enzymes like Vitalzym, Vascuzyme, and ProteoXyme help chew up their proteases, and lipases will help chew up the tumor mass. The ketogenic diet, also known as the carnivore diet, will starve the cancer. It is better established that cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease, meaning the diet and pollution of our environment and stress, heavy metal toxins, glyphosates, genetic modifications, all these things, excess antibiotics that hurt our gut biome, all these things have created a high insulin metabolic syndrome, excess sugars that are population average reference ranges are way too tolerant of. We're much stricter here with high insulin levels that promote cell growth, and that will stress the mitochondria of every cell in your body. You have hundreds to thousands in each cell. And then their metabolism of handling sugar metabolism is then harmed and inefficient, and then the cell learns how to operate in a low oxygen environment, which then becomes fermentative, like making wine or beer or whiskey in an oxygen-deprived environment, and it has to consume more sugar, and even in some cases glutamine, to function. That's why if we ate a ketogenic carnivore diet with cancer, we'll starve the engine of the rapidly growing tumor and metabolism. 

Another thing is that iodine is very important in breast health. We are pretty much all of us deficient unless you're informed about taking iodine to prevent breast cancer. Another thing is vitamin D. Vitamin D, they tolerate and recommend levels that are way too low, 30 ng/dL. I like my patients at 80 ng/dL to 120 ng/dL, and that has anti-tumor effects, anti-proliferation of breast cancer, and many other cancers noted. Other things, such as berberine, quercetin, and ECGC, which are in green teas in particular, are also found in certain mushrooms. When we're talking about transfer factor in the prior question, Maitake mushrooms, N-acetyl 6-phosphate, these are many of the things that we can take supplement-wise, especially with high-dose vitamin C infusions, which kill cancer cells of all the ones that I've ever seen tested over these many decades. So, there are many things that can be addressed on that. And I would certainly ask your sister to go and try and find a functional doctor, along with oncologists, and work alongside them, managing her breast cancer. But get the functional doctor to help build up her immune system and her nutrient base and to help detox her. There is a wonderful YouTube series called The Name of the Doctor is Dr. Casey Peavler, MD. He's out of Florida. And if you put on YouTube, Dr. Casey Peavler, you'll see him pop up, and you'll see his round face at the top. Hit on that, and his whole YouTube series will come out. He'll talk about fenbendazole, ivermectin, and mebendazole. He'll talk about all these things I've already mentioned, like quercetin and D and the ketogenic diet and many other items. That would be very, very helpful for you regarding your sister's health. 

Question 
“Could you quickly go through the benefits of Juice Plus for a person who has a high-risk pregnancy?”  [0:17:40]

Answer
I recommend Juice Plus as one of my foundational and non-negotiable nutrients. And the reason is, back in the late 90s, I did a study that I published in the American Nutraceutical Magazine, in, I think it was the spring edition for 2000, 2001, or 2000, I forget what year it was. Anyway, I tried to take down Juice Plus. It had so many glowing reports, a lot of anecdotal clinical case reports on general health from childhood, to pregnancies, to people with cancers, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune phenomena. I tried to do a study on it, and I did an antioxidant assay, and I did it on a wide swath of people. And I did it over the course of three to six months. And the results were that every single person improved, and they improved with their level of antioxidant protection very significantly. So, I had to change my attitude about the fruit and vegetable and berry concentrate and realized that this is a very valid means of getting fruits, vegetables, and berries into a person. I think there was something in the realm of over 30 fruits, vegetables, and berries that were made available in their proprietary means of doing it in an oxygen-free, cool environment to get the sugar starches, fruit sugars out, and the plant fibers, and just leave it with all the polyphenols, plant nutrient chemicals that are in there. And they were dried up, put into a little capsule, and you take a green, a red, and then a purple one. Some of the OB-GYN doctors that I had come across who were using Juice Plus with their pregnancies had a dramatic drop, statistically significant in neonatal admissions after the birth. So, the preterm re-births have reduced. The number of kids needing neonatal care has reduced. The number of C-sections has reduced. The birth weights went up on average by about a half a pound. And there was another thing on it…Their Apgar scores. The babies were born with better functionality at birth. 

Now, why would all this happen? Why would the entire metabolism of the baby be measured by weight, by function, by Apgar scores, and even preterm babies not needing neonatal care? It's because antioxidants function as shields to the very important parts of the cell membrane, so it doesn't get broken into and harmed by free radical oxidative stress. And pregnancy is an oxidative stress, especially the first, you know, trimester when the little heart and blood vessels have not been developed or barely get developed. So, everything's by diffusion. So, a mother who is using Juice Plus is going to have a higher level of antioxidant protection in the growing baby in the womb. Then inside the cells, they can operate better, and some of these plant phytonutrients are very important in the metabolism of the engines, the mitochondria, and many of the physiologic activities of human life and development. So, yes, Juice Plus, from human clinical studies on hundreds and hundreds of pregnant women, statistically improved outcomes. I have published on it. There are over 42 to 44 peer-reviewed studies published worldwide in very reputable academic journals. And so, there's no question, the most researched nutraceutical in the world is Juice Plus. And it was given, I think, for free for about four years. If an adult parent used it, one child, somewhere between the ages of 4 and 18, could get it for free for four years. As the adult modeled using it, they gave it to the child. And they did some surveys of these children over the years, and we've got well over a million children, and this worldwide in all kinds of socioeconomic environments, their academic performance was better, their athletic performance was better. They had fewer days missed from school. They had fewer days when they needed to go see a doctor for colds and illnesses. I mean, it's a most remarkable nutraceutical Juice Plus, and it is available through – you have to have a Juice Plus distributor help you get ahold of it, and they'll tell you about how to get the child on it for free. If you have questions, you could call 815-601-2480, and I'm sure they'd be happy to give you more information or help you with that. 

Question
“I did a 40-hour fast this past weekend. During the fast, I felt restless, but I pressed through. After the fast, I ate two eggs and drank a packet of electrolytes. I felt better! Any suggestions?”  [0:24:19]

Answer
No, I think you did a very good thing. Fats are going to help repair whatever autophagy…Remember, when you fast and you get into, you know, 18, 24 hours, then your body can get rid of old cells so you don't age as much, get rid of them so new ones can emerge. That debris has to be taken away, and the new cells are made up of phospholipids that are rich in the yolk of the eggs. And the most complete protein that we know of that we can eat is and bioavailable, is the egg. I would say secondary would be beef organs and beef meat, things like that. So you ate the right thing, plus the electrolytes. Now, when I go on a fast that's prolonged, I used to do a 5-day fast twice a year. I don't do a 5-day fast anymore. I'm in my early 70s, and I find I will tend to start losing muscle mass too quickly if I go much beyond 72 hours. What I did to modify my fast was I used Himalayan pink salt and Celtic salt in all the water I drank. So I got my electrolytes, and I used Perfect Aminos by Dr. Minkoff, and I do take those because the branch chain amino acids in that will help prevent my body from going after my muscles and losing muscle mass in three days. So, I think you did a very fine thing. I have been doing this for so many years, I guess decades now, that I don't get any side effects when I'm fasting. Typically, I eat one meal a day. I eat between 22 and 4 o'clock typically. I eat a very high-protein diet, low in carbs, but I also work out. I do the heavy weightlifting three times a week minimum, plus all my walking. And then I drink the 80 ounces of water I need every day. I get a great night's sleep. I'm on my hormones. I take all my hormones, including Juice Plus. And there, I would go and just say the more you do this on a consistent basis, you don't need to get 40 hours. I think I'm doing about a 20-hour fast, 21-hour fast every day by eating my one meal a day, and I work best on that. I'm not saying that's right for everybody, but for me, as a B positive and the type of metabolism I have, it works best for me. So, I ate one meal a day. So, I live in a world where I can easily do an almost 24-hour fast day to day. So it's very easy for me to do a 48-, 72-hour very easily. 

I don't know if people over 60-65 should do a prolonged fast. I would rather see a person do one – let’s say a two-day fast twice a month rather than get to three days in a row, 72 hours or more. I think that's a little too hard. But more research will be done on this, and we'll find out. But I'm very proud of you. And the more often you do this on some routine level that you're learning, your body can handle, you'll be able to – you know, after I break a fast, I'll eat a steak right away, and it's not hard on me at all. And it's probably because I do my fast by taking salt in my water when I am on a fast and the Perfect Amino tablets by Dr. Minkoff, The Perfect Aminos. 

Question
“My multivitamin has iodine from organic kelp, 225 mcg. Is that enough?”  [0:28:43]

Answer
Absolutely not. No, it's not. 

Question
“Do you recommend Semax (peptide) to boost brain-derived neurotropic factor?”  [0:29:01]

Answer
I would have to see the science on it. I'm not familiar right off the bat. There are so many new companies, so much marketing, and a great potential for scams and just fast money-makers. If Semax is a reputable company, it'll publish its research to prove it, like Juice Plus did more than 30 years ago. So, I'm all in favor of that. But you know what else produces brain-derived neurotrophic factor? It would be a carnivore-like diet, a very high protein diet with digestive enzymes, intermittent fasting, and not eating late at night. So, I prefer to eat a high-protein diet, use my digestive enzymes, and do a very good heavy-weightlifting workout three times a week for 45 minutes. And then not eat after around 3 or 4 o'clock, so that I get all these naturally generated, brain-derived neurotropic factors. So I have my brain intact, and it won't shrink as much as I age. 

Question
“I did not take my Juice Plus during my recent fast. Should I have done so? Do you skip the Juice Plus during your fasts?”  [0:31:03]

Answer
I do. When I do, I take all of my vitamins. When I'm on a fast, I take all my vitamins, and the only one I don't take is digestive enzymes because I'm not eating any food to digest. So, do you skip the Juice Plus? No, I don't. I take everything altogether. That may be another reason why I can breeze pretty much through them. But I have acclimatized, my machinery is used to it; if there isn't a quick carb available, my mitochondrial biochemistry engines have enough gearing up, like for war. If we had to go to war, suddenly we'd have to open up factories for making bearings and steel and all kinds of things. Right now, you would have weeks to months where you would be gearing up to carry on producing the machinery to have airplanes and bombs and all this kind of stuff made in great amounts. Same with the human body. When you go on a low-carb diet, that is a metabolic machinery change from the way you've always been feeding these easy things; no one has to work hard in your engine department, in your mitochondria. So then when you suddenly stop giving them that, then they're like, hey, hey, come on. Where's the easy way to do everything? And then the DNA gets these stress messages, and they're called for the epigenetic messaging to the nuclei, says, Oh, we better make more fat-burning machinery, more lipolysis supportive physiologic pathway support material. And so, it ramps it up.

So, anytime you start lowering your carbs suddenly and you go on a pure carnivore diet, no sugar, you're going to go through that flu-like, oh, the doldrums. Because your body is energy-deprived, it doesn't have the machine tooled up yet for burning fat until you train your body to do that, so you have this adaptability. And I try never to eat so many carbs. And again, they're going to try to market to you that this is a holiday season. There's no season, it's winter, and winter is around the corner, you know, December 21st. So, we're in fall right now, and there happens to be a Thanksgiving dinner that we all get and acknowledge, and there happens to be a Christmas dinner, and probably a New Year's dinner. And so, there are three days in the next 90 to hundred days to have a treat. Not Aunt Susie's leftovers and mom's dinner and then your mother-in-law's dinner, and then your friend Susie's treat. You know, you can't be eating like this, and they're marketing to you. They don't care about you, ladies and gentlemen. They want you to consume, consume, consume. Don't do it, don't harm your body like that. Let these little moments where you get into sugar, where it's truly a feast, truly a holiday, and let it be under much less exposure. We almost think we deserve a treat every day now, and of course, they market it that way. So, don't do it. 

Question
“I love you, Dr. Rita! You remind me of Deborah in the Bible -- in the chariot headed off to war!”  [0:34:54]

Answer
Well, I'm at war with those who would harm God's beautiful creation. We have so much harm. And I was just doing another study and listening to somebody bring up Dr. Mike Davis, who's a cardiologist, who's all excited about the microbiome and the gut and various unique lactobacilli, like reuteri or Acidophilus Infantis, and many others, and I'm so happy he finally got excited about that and did studies. We've been creating the foundation for interest in this for the past 50 years. So, praise the Lord, it's all opening up. And all glory to God because those bad bacteria and antibiotics that we get hurt and destroy these wonderful gut bacteria that can actually impact your brain and your mood, which can make you more short-tempered and more bitter, and more, you know, just depressed. And it upsets your metabolism. You know, they say the second brain is in your gut. You make literally more serotonin molecules in your gut every day than you'll ever make neurotransmitters in your brain, and that's from what you're eating. And that's from what we're harming it with, with glyphosate and these heavy metals and these high fructose corn syrups and these antibiotics and all these chemicals. So, all of us are being injured. Our mothers are not as healthy. Our young men are not making as much testosterone to feel strong like men. So, yeah, I really feel sad for the deception of the devil, that he uses deceit as a very powerful way to entrap people, our natural cravings, and get us into trouble. And so, I'm at war with them. And so, yes. Well, thank you so much. I love my patients, I love my family, but most of all, I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So, thank you for saying that. 

Question
“Hi, doctor. What do you think about The Loop Way?” [0:37:33]

Answer
Personalized peptide therapies. There's a podcast out there called The Loop Way, and it's a feminine, kind of female-managed, you know, mid-40s age woman, probably, and she interviews healthcare providers and successful women. And it's very, how shall I say, all about getting your best life now. And as a Christian, I am not seeking to be happy. Happiness is a by-product to me of serving my Lord. And if my Lord were to task me as a soldier to be a martyr, I would say, whatever is your pleasure, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I will die as a martyr for you. If he wanted me to suffer some torture or something and then be released and talk about how he sustained me through it, I want him to get all the glory, not me. In other words. I am here to attract people to the power of the word of God, the eternal life, and his resurrection power through his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. That's all I'm here for. So, this thing called The Loop Way, it kind of nauseates me about women who have come to the conclusion that, you know, I need to be happy, or I need to find myself, or I need to get out of this rat race. And very often, so many of them say divorce is a part of that solution. And that's absolutely really not biblical. And there was no mention of the word of God at all. Well, it's a secular program. Well, then, the heck with the secular programs. I have the mindset of a Christian doctor and woman. And I have seen 45 years of broken hearts, aching people, death, cancers, innumerable gunshot wounds, you know, a tree driven through the stomach of a man on a Jeep when I was on active duty, parachute failures, and trying to save young soldiers. I've seen even leprosy. 

Now, how do you make sense of all this? We are in a fallen world. We have sinned. We have fallen short. And God is so loving, He's given us something very simple and easy – Read the book. Read his Bible cover to cover and read it over and over until it sinks in. Make it your food. Remember, Jesus said, “Eat me. I'm the man. I'm the bread. Drink me.” So, I eat and drink His word every day of my life, and it sustains me in my hardest, heartfelt moments in my life. And who am I? I am but one of His creations. I've sinned greatly, folks. Don't look at me like I'm a saint. I am not. I am the chief of sinners. I am a murderer. I have thoughts that I have to fight to bring into subjection to the Lord. So, I'm like everyone else. But because I've seen so much hurt and suffering, I truly call upon the Lord to try and help, and say there is life after death. You don't have to fear death. Happiness is peace with Christ. I am so stable. I am able to get myself out of a depression, a doldrum, a hurt feeling, just by opening the scriptures and talking to God and reading His word. And I'm telling you, within 10 minutes of reading His word, I'm already lightened up, and his ministering angels help me and so forth. 

So when you say, what do I think of the loop way and personalized peptide therapies? You know, I'm all for anti-aging. I'm all for the wonderful value of branch-chain amino acids and certain peptides to help stimulate and repair the body. But that's not what it's all about, you know? What about the poor woman who is not attractive? What about the poor man who is not physically attractive like the Hollywood here would say they should be? They're not tall enough to look like a real macho man like on TV. They're not thin enough or wearing the current jewelry and garbs and makeup goop of actresses, and they're just, they're not the prettiest girl, and they're not the handsomest man. But you know what? They are God's children, and their perspective and their struggle through their life to find peace with how God made them and to serve others in the face of their own needs is just tremendous. I see so many mothers here, they're not the beauty queen pageant woman. Maybe they're struggling with hair loss, or maybe they're struggling with that extra 30 pounds I couldn't shed after having a child. These are some of the precious, wonderful people on Earth. And this Loop Way, I think it talks about exercise and making yourself feel great, and building into yourself and getting involved. You have to have a reason. I get involved because of my Lord. I care because of my Lord. Because if it were left for me, I would say I've had the most unfair, poor life. For all the hard work I've done, I have nothing to show for it, nothing. You know, where's all the cruises and diamonds and entertainment and romance and blah, blah, blah. Where is it? Well, you know what? I don't care for that stuff. That is not what's important because it's not eternal. People are eternal. 

And that's what I want in healthcare providers. I want them to love the privilege of being a physician. So, whatever this Loop Way is and their health, I hope these young ladies learn, middle-aged ladies, let's put it this way, I hope they learn about God and the Bible and read it at least 10 times cover to cover. And then let me hear about their loop way. I'm going to tell you about the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because it hasn't failed and it has had the greatest impact on earth. The greatest impact on earth. So, that's what I think of that.

Question
“Can you please share your experiences with structured water and using the Analemma wand? I have very dry skin and hard, ball-shaped stools. I would like to try a wand, but I am skeptical about it. Thank you.”  [0:44:45]

Answer
We need to know what your blood type is, what your other demographics are, you know, do you work? What's your weight? What's your age? But in general, you have to drink half your weight in pounds as ounces every day. The research on the Analemma wand is very compelling. I usually don't bring anything up that I haven't been using and found to be very valuable. That's called www.Analemma-water.com, and it was Dr. Dolf Zantinge. He did his work in the Netherlands on all the plants and productivity there for that tiny part of the world, and he got his research from Dr. Potts and Dr. Lynn in China, and Dr. Gerald Pollack. So, this is all the fantastic emerging science about the fourth phase of water on cell membrane surfaces. So, it acts more as a gel, and it helps your skin to be smoother, and your cells to be plumped and smooth. So, yeah, I would look up Dr. Dolf Zantinge, Analemma Structured Water, and Dr. Gerald Pollack, Electrically Structured Water. That's the best one, I think, Dr. Gerald Pollack ever did. Watch those. They really, really are very valuable. My energy is up yet another dimension. I go out every day and I try and let the infrared of the sun amplify the vibration of my water molecules on my cell membranes, and that can expand it from three to five times the energy battery potential of the cell surface because it's electronegative and the hydrogen ions near it are positive, it creates a transmembrane potential that's amplified, so my energy goes up with it. 

Question
“I tore my left knee meniscus 4 months ago. My general practitioner said he tore his 10 years ago and did not do anything; he said, Visit my orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon suggested arthroscopic surgery. I said I wanted to avoid it. I've been doing physical therapy and bike riding, had two shots of cortisone, and it is swollen, but was not drained. He is back to surgery now. Thoughts?”  [47:31]

Answer
I don't like cortisol injections because they're a steroid, and they actually break tissues down and make them less dirty. So it is catabolic. And what I would say is it breaks the tissues down. So, I would go on a near-carnivore, very ketogenic diet. I would drink half my weight in water. If you can get this structured water, www.Analemma-water.com. Get your filtered water and put this wand in it like I put it into my water here. I drink from this. Drink that. Take systemic enzymes like Vascuzyme systemic enzymes or Vitalzym, five times a day. Wear a knee guard to remind you to be careful with your knee, so you don't do anything foolish. But do some gradual strength training that stimulates repair throughout the whole body. Don't eat past 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And those high-protein diets, not eating late, fasting from roughly 3:00 in the afternoon until breakfast, is roughly a 16-hour fast every day, and all those proteins from that rich protein diet will be broken down. Find out your blood type. If you're a blood type A, you need to take digestive enzymes. But find yourself a good orthopedic doctor. One here in Orange, California, the City of Orange, is Dr. Bryn Henderson. He's a doctor of osteopathic orthopedics. He’s done biochemistry as his major. He has been doing this like me for the past 40 to 50 years. He does stem cells that help stimulate the growth of collagen/elastin. You have to take a multimineral to have collagen/elastin formed. So, I would be on a good thing like TLC Multimineral to get those minerals going for the healing. Along with a high animal diet, you'll get plenty of collagen and elastin that is very bioavailable to help heal the meniscus and tendons there. And then that intermittent fasting, or even if you did a 48-hour fast three times a month, that will stimulate a lot of healing in your body. Do your weight training, I think only on the machines where you put the pin in and you're seated, and you do it there. That way, you won't slip or lose your balance or tear anything, and you'll be under good control that way, because growth repair from little myosin tears from healthy muscle resistance training will stimulate the repair of collagen and elastin as well. But his name is Dr. Bryn Henderson. His address is 615 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, California.

Question
“I did routine bloodwork, and everything came back in the normal range, according to Scripps Health medical standards, but my B6 level was 150, and my doctor said that it was elevated and needed to be lowered? What are your thoughts? The only thing different I’m doing is drinking matcha green tea every day.”  [0:51:30]

Answer
I really have seen over the many decades we've been doing metabolic resuscitation, vitamin B6 levels have to get closer to 500 before there's any neuropathy intervention. I mean, you know, side effects of getting tingling paresthesias. So, 150, I think, is actually a very good level. 

Question 
“Just got introduced to the term "liposomal" yesterday. So, you emphasize phospholipids and you advocate for vitamin C proactively and high-dose vitamin C therapeutically. Does a wrap of C allow it to pass through the gut? Could the dosage be dropped, or is this just a gimmick?”  [0:52:24]

Answer
No, this is legitimate science. And a company that Dr. Thomas Levy, MD, and also Esquire, he's a lawyer as well, has written a very detailed book on oxidative stress, vitamin C. He is an advisor on the board of a company called LivOn, and what that is, is its liposomal vitamin C, where they wrap phospholipids around the ascorbic acid, which is water-soluble only, but somehow they get the fat to encircle it. They have liposomal glutathione. What else do they have? Well, I know they have those two things. And there has been some research done, whether it was Dr. Thomas Levy or it was at the (54:07) Clinic in Oklahoma. They took liposomal vitamin C, and they got blood levels of up to 300, I think, nanograms per deciliter, which is what you typically get on one high-dose vitamin C 25 to 50-gram intravenously. So, it is theoretically possible to take enough liposomal vitamin C to get absorbed because the fat outer membrane is just like a cell membrane, and if it comes in touch with the skin of the gut or another cell membrane, it'll move into it and deliver the vitamin C in there and it'll just spread through your body, your brain, all that kind of stuff throughout your body. So, the answer is, yes, it is legitimate. And yes, the only one I know of quality that has human clinical research is the company called LivOn. It's, of course, a little more pricey, but it's absolutely more effective.
