TODAY'S LESSON TAUGHT AT THE HOSPITAL THIS WEEK

I gave a talk to healthcare professionals recently and got a lot of pushback about mitochondrial density and the heart and brain.  A cardiologist disagreed with me using a centralized MD perspective.

So I went on a rant about my decentralized perspective.  

A nurse recorded my response.  Here is the transcribed rant for you to review.  I left them dumbfounded with this response.  No pushback from the cardiologist at the end.  

"There is a fine line between challenging yourself and overwhelming yourself. Changing paradigms is not for the weak of heart or mind.  This type of transformation takes hold of you. Invades you. Soon it owns you. You want to be free of them, but you never will be.  A very slow movement on the right way is better than overwhelming speed on the wrong path and this is why you enjoy the chaos of being overwhelmed.  You must have the change you seek.

Takeaways from today's lesson I gave in the hospital: The heart is not just a big pump like centralized MDs were taught. It is a giant magnet (measurable magnetic field to 22 feet from the body). The blood is paramagnetic. In fact, blood is a magnetic hydrodynamic fluid. If it is not being primed with DHA-laden foods loaded with electrons waiting to be excited by sunlight to optimize circadian signaling you are not priming the “compound pharmacy” of your body-made hormones. Your heart is loaded with mitochondria that have to transform energy to create its power.  You need a magnetic field in your body sufficient to unlock the door to the compound pharmacy. Your mitochondria need to be functioning at a rate sufficient to properly handle the melatonin, dopamine, and other substances your body needs to be at its optimal function. Sufficient rate = low heteroplasmy rate.  Heteroplasmy rate links to oxygen utilization.

Hypoxia is a cellular state that disrupts normal oxygen supply to the tissue (mitochondria), causing cellular dysfunction. Examples of this are altitude sickness at high elevations and clots in a blocked artery in an organ causing an organ to fail and die. Apoptosis and autophagy allow cells to adapt over their lifespan to many situations. Hypoxia is directly toxic to mitochondrial energy production. In humans, when oxygen is in short supply we can shift to anaerobic energy production, but it is not as efficient as mitochondrial energy production. Athletes with proper training can perform well in anaerobic conditions but it does appear that they pay a steep price for this adaptation by depleting their stem cell supply.  The gateway in mitochondria for hypoxia is pseudohypoxia by blockade of pyruvate which sits atop the TCA cycle inside the matrix.  The gatekeeper of the creation of Acetyl-CoA from pyruvate is thiamine. If pyruvate gets in AcetylCoA is the two-carbon substance that is burned.  If the heteroplasmy rate is high the AcetylCoA is sent back out and becomes acylcarnitine.  It is the major controller of substate movements in the matrix.  As NAD+ drops we lose control of UCP-2 and this alters the matrix concentration of hydrogen isotopes.  We also lose control of SCD1 and ROS production.  Our oxygen use also is altered inside our cells.  What does this mean? ROS signals have poor fidelity.  

Detox is not the key; supplements are not the key; ketosis alone is not the key; exercise is not the key. Balancing (and for most people that is boosting) the mito function is the key. Great autophagy, great redox. Address circadian biology first; food second. Blue light destroys DHA. A mitochondrion is a micro-star. It makes an electric plasma from electrons and protons in food. Everything on earth grows because of the energy output of the sun. Everything in you is fed because of your mitochondria. When you eat food you are really eating a barcode of information built into sunshine. Rx: Intermittent fasting, cold thermogenesis, meditation, good water, and getting outside for the morning sun on the eyes and skin.
