Show Notes:
[2:48] Practical sources of tocotrienols?
- Red palm oil.
- Vitacost sells a balanced, cheap supplement.
[4:30] Anyway to lower hematocrit besides phlebotomy?
- Lower red meat intake.
- It is blood viscosity that is the problem, not necessarily hematocrit.
- Sodium, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and things that are anti-inflammatory will improve the problem.
[7:55] Stinging nettle and SHBG.
- SHBG will affect free test, but it acts as a chaperone instead of the previous theory of deactivating it.
- The bound test is still active.
- Total test is what is important.
- Stinging nettle root extract will lower SHBG and estradiol.
- The leaves of stinging nettle will have an anti-histaminic effect.
[11:39] Awareness of chemicals in skin products.
- We have to talk about the issue more.
- Women put ~380 chemicals on their face in the morning.
- Parabens are bad. End of story. They accumulate in breast tumors.
- Other harmful compounds are mineral oil and petroleum jelly.
- Transdermal delivery is effective at delivering 10-50% of the total product.
- Vote with your dollars. Congress is too slow on these issues.
[17:11] DMSO
- It is a powerful transdermal agent.
- In order to get high quality DMSO, you will need to order from Gaylord chemicals.
- Their product is FDA approved for cancer treatment and does not smell bad.
- You will need `30% of distilled water in the mixture.
[21:23] Any supplement changes after the show with Morley Robbins?
- No. Carl values Morley’s opinion, but he doesn’t feel that there is 1 cause all factor to disease.
- Carl does agree that iron is a culprit in the symptoms of aging.
- Mike O’hearn takes 10 g of vitamin C per day, and he doesn’t have trouble putting on muscle.
[25:33] Will there ever be a Casual Friday comeback?
- Carl would love to, but it depends on several factors.
- There is potential for a commentary style “off- topic” reunion show.
[27:10] When is it appropriate to enter a new relationship after breaking up with someone?
- Love rewards the person doing the loving.
- What are you afraid of? You will be rewarded for loving that person.
- If it doesn’t work out, you will still experience the benefit of loving that person.
- At the very worst, a failed relationship makes you stronger.
[32:07] What is the best joint supplement?
- Actistatin.
[32:36] How much muscle did you put on in the first years of training past the age of 40?
- Carl did not track muscle gain, but his strength gains were massive.
[34:22] What do you want SHR to evolve into?
- Carl doesn’t think that far ahead.
- Carl is more of a jazz musician, not a classical composer when it comes to the show.
- Carl feels that this nature helps the show stay ahead of the curve.
[36:12] Are you well recognized?
- No. Carl’s voice is though.
[36:55] Antibiotics and gut flora.
- VSL-3 gave Carl SIBO.
- LL-37 is the ultimate gut health peptide. It kills fungus in the gut and changes the digestive system.
- Antibiotics may not do the “scorched Earth” effect that we previously thought, at least in the short term.
- Thymosin Alpha-1 for viruses.
[40:00] Low dose Tren for aging males.
- Tren causes too much of an allostatic load and is associated with dementia.
- Carl would even cut out NPP for aging males.
[41:03] Iron staying in the body.
- Plant sources aren’t well absorbed unless taken with retinol and vitamin C.
- Only heme-iron is well absorbed (from animal sources).
[42:51] Is supplement regulation constitutional?
- No.
- Social and religious constructs also play into what is acceptable to do to our bodies.
- Keep the government out of my pantry.
- First drug control was for opium and was meant to eradicate the Chinese social constructs in San Francisco.
[46:50] How to get LL-37.
[47:50] Best peptides for ADHD and hip injuries.
- Semax and LL-37 for ADHD.
- BPC-157 and IGF-1 long R-3 for hip injury (assuming it is a muscle injury)
[50:54] Oral BPC-157.
- Carls thinks that it works, but does not knowfor sure.
- It should be friendly to the gut.
[53:08] Favorite protein source?
- Eggs- 1 cup of egg whites with 2 whole eggs, 2 times per day.
[54:10] Could Michelle Obama have higher test levels?
- She may have had a pituitary adenoma.
[56:54] LL-37 for allergies?
- Probably not.
- Try stinging nettle leaves 500mg 2x/day, quercetin 200 mg 2x/day, and MSM 2g 2x/day.
[58:13] Thoughts on Mucuna Pruriens?
- Carl doesn’t feel anything from it.
- He does feel that some people may find value in it though.

[00:00:00] That's okay, right because there's only this side this is where I answer any and all questions posed to me and nothing is off topic. I will talk about anything that has to do with me. And not other people and so let's have some fun. First of all, I have to I have to [00:01:00] share a revelation with you. You know, I have I've been eating a lot of sugar this week.
[00:01:06] So Kroger's has a sale on the kind bars. And the one that I like is the black cherry cashew kind bar and they're like ten for a dollar each or 10 for $10. So naturally I buy four or five of them. I only intend to eat one of them and I end up eating four or five of them before I even go home at the end of the day after meals.
[00:01:30] I feel like oh I had a good meal. I'm going to treat myself and I have to tell you and I just told us to Lisa a couple minutes ago. My my pain threshold is gone up dramatically not my threshold might my paint pain. My pain level has increased I told us that the only thing I've done differently this week that I don't normally do is like I've been eating a lot of sugar.
[00:01:53] I've been putting maple syrup on my oatmeal in the morning. I got I but putting raisins, you know, a quarter cup of raisins is like [00:02:00] 35 grams of sugar. I mean a quarter cup is not that most of us put more than 1/4 cup and then I was putting maple syrup because I have this beautiful organic maple.
[00:02:11] And I've put that on it. So it's probably 50 grams of sugar in my oatmeal in the morning. And then I'm eating these kind bars. Like they're going out of style and son-of-a-gun. My foot hasn't hurt me since I had the surgery and today it's sword has a sore feeling to it and I'm convinced that from the.
[00:02:28] The added sugar in my diet this week. There's no doubt in my mind about it. I thought I would just share that with people out there because if you are someone who suffers from chronic pain getting sugar out of your diet will only only make you feel better only, okay. The first question and look at this I even have my agenda built.
[00:02:47] The first question comes from Kirkland more Letty. He says in lengthy. He says I've got a question for you for come at me, bro. Do you have any good practical sources of tocotrienols for the tocotrienols [00:03:00] form of vitamin A besides rice bran. I've been looking into it for health of cell membrane and I have a hunch that it may mitigate oxidation of carotenoids and I'm fact I think.
[00:03:12] Is because. don't they add vitamin E? To preserve as a preservative for some some carotenoid supplements. I could be wrong about that. I may be confusing vitamin C what but I think that's the case. But anyway the best source of concentrated. All eight forms of vitamin E all for to call for all's a Toro for took a tree Knoll is palm fruit and palm fruit oil and you can get palm fruit oil and I think sometimes they just call it palm oil.
[00:03:54] You may want to check that but you can get the best vitamin E [00:04:00] profile and Kant and concentrations are found in palm fruit. And so you can actually. Get from Vitacost a very inexpensive whole form of vitamin E all for took a train all's all for two corporals and it's basically palm fruit in little capsules palm fruit oil in little capsules.
[00:04:21] That's the best that I know. That's the. That I know of the next one comes from Joe. Nasrallah. Actually, he has a couple and several people submitted a few questions and that's cool. I'm happy this would happen. If we were having a conversation we would talk about a variety of things. So that that's cool Joe says.
[00:04:42] Is there any way other than regular blood donations and then parenthetically he says which I do several times each year to lower hematocrit levels. Well. Cut back on your red meat intake because iron intake affects hematocrit.
[00:05:00] [00:05:02] That one for sure. I think and and and I think supplementing with something like quercetin because it's been shown to be able to chelate iron out of the blood anytime you you drop iron hematocrit drops dramatically and red blood cell count. And so anything that affects red blood cells. Anything that's a wreath apoyo deck like exercise which has the ability to affect an increased red blood cells is going to increase hematocrit anything that takes any I'm trying I'm thinking and I don't prepare for any of these questions.
[00:05:39] I don't I don't take the time to prepare. So I'm actually thinking as I go through this so things like. Famous in beta for probably aren't a good idea for you. If you're trying to reduce red blood cell production red meats cut back on those eat more vegetables that that will help [00:06:00] also, but also hematocrit isn't the problem.
[00:06:03] It's blood viscosity. That's the problem because it's assumed that as red blood cells go up blood becomes more viscous thicker sludgy. You know and that is where all the hemodynamic damage is done to blood vessels and the Heart from having to pump cement instead of liquid. And so. hematocrit is an indicator of red blood cells the more red blood cells.
[00:06:33] You have the more oxygen capacity you have so I think unfortunately. Red blood cells get thrown out in the equation when we're really should be addressing blood viscosity. So things that will improve blood viscosity is ADD sodium to your diet because that will attract more water into the blood and and make it less viscous make it more watery.
[00:07:00] [00:07:00] Also apple cider vinegar any kind of vinegar really if you do drink alcohol red wine. And then of course Ginger things that are anti-inflammatory thin the blood isn't that interesting isn't it? Interesting the things that reduce inflammation also reduce blood viscosity, so I would address. To reduce blood viscosity and and not be so concerned about hematocrit because that's what they're really talking about when they're talking about hematocrit.
[00:07:36] They're talking about. Oh my God your blood getting really thick no red blood cells can populate without actually making blood thicker if you address blood viscosity. The other question he has is let me bring it back up here is stinging nettle root extract effective in decreasing sex [00:08:00] hormone-binding globulin levels parenthetically, assuming one wants to lower shbg in spite of recent Recent research suggesting decreasing shbg may not be not result in higher free testosterone levels, okay?
[00:08:14] Sorry correction. Shbg does affect free testosterone levels. If shbg is High free test will always be low. That's not the discussion right now within the scientific Community the scientific Community starting to understand that in fact shbg is a chaperone not a hostage. Shbg has always been thought and then I'll answer your question about thinking that'll root shbg is always been understood.
[00:08:49] to bind to sex hormones. and. The original thinking was if it was bound to [00:09:00] shbg then it was inactive. It couldn't do anything. It was worthless. It didn't matter only the free form of the Jamon mattered for any biological effects reported to occur from that hormone. Now, we understand that shbg is a chaperone and makes the hormone more available to.
[00:09:22] So the big number the total testosterone which we thought meant nothing because all we cared about was the free testosterone because of shbg binding all that up. We just found out means something all that testosterone means something to and shbg may actually improve the effects in tissue of the hormone that it's bound to know now, Yes, thinking that'll root extract will lower shbg.
[00:09:52] It will also lower estradiol levels because it seems to have an effect on on aromatase enzyme [00:10:00] and a Lisa profumo just taught me something this morning. This is why I get so smart. By the way, Eliza teaches me things and then I come on in the air and take credit for but no she taught me something this morning.
[00:10:12] She taught me that stinging nettle root and stinging nettle leaves. Very very very different effects. So stinging nettle root as you appropriately identify here, Joe does have all sorts of hormonal effects on estrogen on sex hormone-binding globulin even on dihydrotestosterone. The leaves seem to have antihistamine effects and a good for people with allergies.
[00:10:45] I learned that from a Lisa this morning. So yes, there's no doubt that stinging nettle root will reduce shbg. And what we're learning about shbg is it's kind of like an area under the curve where there is [00:11:00] too low, no good in the middle of the sweet spot and then too high. Good, so you should not strive to lower shbg.
[00:11:10] Unless you know for some reason you want to see if that is the root of a problem you're having. But yeah, that's that's that one. So I'm going to go on to the next question. This is a really good question actually, so Patrick Rodgers has been listening to the show for a long time and we become friends and he is a true Renaissance Man.
[00:11:34] and. And one strong SOB. So Patrick Rodgers says Carl. I know that you have done shows in the past concerning chemicals that are in skin products. We apply to our skin on a day-in and day-out basis transdermal delivery is a very good system that gets things into your body. My question is what can we do?
[00:11:55] To bring more awareness to how important it is to keep harmful chemicals off your [00:12:00] skin. So many issues are related to exposure to toxins and we are constantly applying them directly on one of our body parts at a time. And it's the best delivery system we have and he's absolutely right and the only way to so here's the problem as I see it the women are not going to give up makeup.
[00:12:21] They're not going to give up Cosmetics. They're not going through and they shouldn't because some things are really good that are made by responsible companies who understand that chemical shouldn't be in there. In their Blends, but the problem is that no one wants to talk about it and right there in lies.
[00:12:39] The quite my question is what can we do to bring more awareness to This Is How We Do we have to talk about it? I think we did a casual Friday episode where Lisa profumo dedicated the entire show to these topics. And she said on average and it was some ridiculous number and I know I'm not going to quote it right but it was something like, you know [00:13:00] women put 380 different chemicals on their face every single morning every single morning 380 different chemicals on their face every single morning and guess what your brain is right there.
[00:13:16] until we start to keep reminding people of this and why it's so important to. Stay away from companies that have really cool flashy marketing approaches to everything. But when you start looking at the list, like like for instance the parabens the argument is over. They're not good for you. If there's methyl propyl any of the parabens in your cosmetic products, you should not use them.
[00:13:40] They have been found to accumulate in breast tumor tissue. Huh? Did they cause it? I don't know but why are they? Give me away to breast tumor tissue. There's a lot of things for instance mineral oil mineral oil is produced [00:14:00] in the refining process of separating gasoline from crude oil. They think about that and you put it on your body petrolatum petroleum jelly.
[00:14:13] That's just that's a that's a sludge byproduct from the refinery process of. Of crude oil. that can hardly be good for you to rub on your skin. I'm sorry. I mean I see them trying to get that crap off of birds and and animals bodies that get caught in oil slicks on the ocean and then they sell it to us.
[00:14:34] We just go. Oh, yeah, but it's clear. It's got to be. Okay. I'll put it on there are so many chemicals out there that are truly harmful and you're right transdermal delivery is successful at delivering anywhere from 10 to. 50% of whatever is in it into the skin through the stratum corneum into the blood vessels into the small vascular [00:15:00] architecture in the skin and then eventually into the blood system where it's traveling to your brain your heart your kidneys and everything else.
[00:15:09] So the only thing we can do is to mention it until it becomes an inconvenience where people go, you know, I guess I have to start paying attention to what I shop for and what I put on my. Body because that's that's the only way you women and men have to push back at the company's. So the way you do that is you you vote with your dollars.
[00:15:29] If someone has parabens and everybody gets the message that parabens are bad. Then the Kroger shelf of all paraben / containing products gets backed up. They send the product back to the manufacturer cause Kroger doesn't eat anything. They don't lose money on it. They manufacture goes. Wow, we're getting all this product back wonder why they put ears to the ground.
[00:15:48] They find the oh wow. Using parabens anymore. Okay. We'll get the parabens out new product comes out. So this is how we change things. We don't legislate this. You don't go to Congress and waste [00:16:00] years try to get them to take action. That's actually going to be beneficial to people you vote with your dollars you stop buying.
[00:16:07] And if you want to you take the time to tell people why you stopped buying their product you call them to hey, you just want to let you know I'm not buying your your makeup remover anymore because I just found that it's got this this and that in it. Just want to let you know that's it. And when they get enough those calls they go.
[00:16:22] Oh we're going to start not be able to sell product pretty soon unless we take that out. So that's how you change you change the products that are available for skin care and take into account their ability to preserve Health as opposed to to damage Health. Let's see here. We have a Live question on Facebook here.
[00:16:44] I'm going to try to get to just bear with me one second.
[00:16:51] Okay. So Jason Lulu wanted me to know that he's watching today while he's. Stuck in traffic keep your eyes on the road Jason and John [00:17:00] Peaks is in Yuma Arizona listening to the show or watching the show. I guess he's watching it on his way to California. So Darcy clock says, what's your take on DMSO?
[00:17:11] This is a very good question. I like TMS. I first started my first experience with DMSO was when I dropped out of high school. I went to work on the racetrack and we used to use it with horses. We used to make what we call paints. They will usually like Betadine absorbing Junior and you would add DMSO to it because DMSO would literally make it penetrate and we knew was penetrating because we would taste in our mouths when we used it on the horses.
[00:17:41] So we knew they could taste it and we knew it was getting into the skin. And so that was my first experience with DMSO. The thing that DMSO amazed me about was when so when I worked at Aqueduct and Belmont Park our barns were basically Outdoors, right they had walls, but they [00:18:00] had these huge doors that opened up and basically wind and cold blue into what we call the shed row.
[00:18:08] And we had tack boxes and we had I was a groom and I had a box filled with my you know, my remedies that I would have to put on a horse for an injury the DMSO used to freeze as soon as it started to get cold out. I thought that was amazing. It would be like 60 degrees out and it would be all crystals in there.
[00:18:26] It was amazing when you would open it with crackle and you could smell that onion. He smelled at that onion and garlic. I smell that was how I was introduced to DMSO is never afraid. Fast forward to my transdermal gel journey and some so many of those of you don't know this about me, but I was very active on the bodybuilding forms back in the day because I was the guy to go to if you wanted to blend a drug into a transdermal delivery system.
[00:18:54] I had written several papers that are still out there today that show people how to home brew with [00:19:00] lecithin based Organo gels to produce antibiotic creams if you will because they didn't want to stick needles in. So they wanted to do it this way instead and so as a result of that I came back around to DMSO early on there is sodium DMSO comes down to the same thing as fish oil.
[00:19:18] It's all about the Purity. That's what it is the DMSO that you're going to buy a tack shop where horse horse owners by DMSO for their horses and stuff like that. It's not a good quality DMSO. And that's because nobody cares about horses. Now if you really want a high-quality DMSO, you have to get one from a company called Gaylord chemicals and Gaylord chemicals makes the only FDA approved.
[00:19:46] Dimethyl sulfoxide made and approved to be used for you ready for this cancer. Drug delivery. Oh, so doctors use this stuff. And so yeah. Yeah the medical industry uses [00:20:00] DMSO, but they don't just use any DMSO. They use this particular DMSO from Gaylord chemical and this DMSO at very high doses. You don't taste it or smell it because they were excited.
[00:20:13] They're successful at removing the self a know something which gives DMSO that garlicky onion skin. Odor and taste and and and obviously their purity is unparalleled and that's why they're approved by the Food and Drug Administration to sell their DMSO to scientists compounding Pharmacists and so on that then use it in their in their cancer drug Delivery Systems.
[00:20:43] So that's my take on DMSO. I think it's great pure is not good. You've got to have. At least 30% either purified water distilled water deionized water in there and the delivery actually [00:21:00] increases if you use pure DMSO, you will not get as good a delivery as if you use the one that is slightly diluted, okay?
[00:21:12] Here's a question from this is another one on Facebook. I'm David, Florida. Congratulations, I think David. Oh, no, I'm thinking of somebody else. I'm sorry. All right. Have you made any changes to your vitamin mineral supplementation subsequent to the show with morally Robbins. I'm throwing out all Maya sorbic acid as soon as the Lipo spherical order comes in.
[00:21:35] I have not to be honest with him. So. I love morally I think Morley's great but morally is just like so many other people I know who this is it. This is the only thing this is why all disease exists. And as soon as somebody says that I don't believe them as much now morally is brilliant highly intelligent.
[00:21:59] [00:22:00] I value his opinion, but I do not value his opinion over my. And that's a critical distinction. If you're not the captain of your ship, then you're going to die for somebody else's reasons and not yours, but I think morally gets it about iron. I think that the show that we did about iron and iron overload will ultimately help a lot of people because I don't think enough people pay attention to you know, the hematocrit question at the beginning of the show could be from Iron overload.
[00:22:31] And you could be donating blood from now till the cows come home until you get your iron levels down that may end up persisting for a very long time. Now do I think iron is one of those things at the root of disease not necessarily do I think iron is possibly at the root of the. Symptoms that we consider those of Aging stiffness degradation and nervous system by accumulation of metabolic debris.
[00:22:59] That just [00:23:00] slows us down. Yeah. I think I think iron is one of those things and the reason is the reason that I say this. So I know people who take 10 grams a day. In fact, I'll tell you who Mike O'Hearn has been taking 10,000 10 grams of plain old a sorbic acid vitamin C since he was a young man because he heard that Jack Lane did that and it is not.
[00:23:28] Stopped his mitochondria from adapting which everybody's oh, oh don't take any vitamin C before you go out because your you'll stop your mitochondria from adapting. Well doesn't seem to have hurt Mike and it hasn't hurt him from putting on muscle and he had and I know the guy the guy is in amazing shape.
[00:23:44] He doesn't have any of the neurological disorders and all that sort of stuff that are associated with all of you start taking vitamin C. It's going to do this and that to you, you know, these absolute statements that people make today. You must run when somebody says something absolutely. You got to look at them go.
[00:23:59] There's that there's [00:24:00] nothing absolute except math math is the only absolute that we have nothing else is absolute. So if vitamin C is going to do that to people is going to do all to all people are not all people and if it's not all people that it's not the root cause okay, I agree that some people have susceptibilities and I can hear my audience thinking but while some people have predispositions, yes, that's true.
[00:24:23] But again when somebody says you this is the reason then. Told me the reason for that group of that subset of the population. It's not the reason for everybody's disease, but I do think that the unique thing about iron above and beyond all these other things is it bioaccumulates and we have no system no innate system to get iron out.
[00:24:47] So while I made this statement a long time ago, and now I know it's not completely accurate. It is Alyssa straight of it's. It's the seriousness of iron [00:25:00] accumulation. That is there's a good possibility that you have iron in your body from a hamburger that you ate when you were 15 years old and while that's probably not true if you're like my age 60, but it could actually be true in some instances.
[00:25:16] So I and I think is a worry I think it is a worry we're going to go back to the previously submitted questions and I'll get back to the questions. The Facebook live here in just a second. So this one comes from Dion Spears. He says his Casual Friday ever going to come back Eliza and I talk about it all the time.
[00:25:38] I would love to have her in the audience. I love working with the Lisa. You know, I think she's brilliant. She's funny. She's you know, bubbly. I mean she added a quality to the show that I haven't been able to reproduce reproduce or or replace and I'm not going to try. It really depends on several things in our [00:26:00] lives to happen.
[00:26:01] It could happen. I do want to just get a back on the air, you know for an afternoon here and there once in a while, I would be nice Deon Spears also says a one-time off-topic reunions show. Excuse me out of cough. So I'm going to visit Aaron cinnamon probably next month, and we've actually talked about going through all the old episodes of off topic.
[00:26:26] Having different employees at his office pick out things that they found fascinating or will like. Wow. I didn't know that or and then doing a show where we listen to the clips Aaron and I and we kind of you know comment about them. Like, where was I at that point in my life? How was I feeling God?
[00:26:44] I don't feel that way now. I wish that didn't happen, whatever and so yes, I think you will see. Off-topic reunions show of sorts. I just don't know that we'll have all of the original players on but we definitely would may have tapes [00:27:00] of them where they appeared Dion Spears ask this question. And this is a really good question.
[00:27:07] Give me a second and I've been there too. I'm starting a new relationship after a really long and bitter divorce. It's been almost a year, but I'm still worried about opening up. Feeling vulnerable again. How did you get it was the right time? How did you get it was the right time and you had the right person to start a new relationship with so this is just me.
[00:27:31] and. this K. I can't speak for anybody else. But since you know off-topic, you know that I was at a point in my life where I said, I would never ever be in a long-term relationship again. I thought women were evil I thought and you know, and this is what happens when women feel. Way bad guys, when they go to divorce I'll never be with a guy guys are idiots.
[00:27:52] And so I get it and it's not like this is just me having those feelings. But [00:28:00] what happened for me was when I met a Lisa. I was not prepared to meet her and she kind of took me off guard. And I know you're talking about because remember when I was doing off-topic, I started threatening that I was going to do open season on men where I was going to become the male version of Joy Behar.
[00:28:19] I was going to hate all women equally all of them. I also thought that Charlie Sheen had it right you pay women to leave. I thought well, this is this is going to be an easy way to go but then I fell in love and and here's what I discovered, you know, because and I wasn't prepared for it. I was actually like it was almost like I didn't want that to happen at that point my life.
[00:28:44] I had invested all this energy into this over here. But I kind of feel and I tell my children this same thing Dion. Okay. I tell my kids these same words. That love rewards the person [00:29:00] doing the loving. right, and so. If you meet a girl or guy your girl is to show and you feel attracted them and you want to love them.
[00:29:15] But you are afraid to what are you afraid of? They're not taking anything from you. In fact them being the object of your love is going to reward you. It's going to make you feel better, you know, if someone tells you. I love you. It's nice to hear that you got that's so sweet. But you don't really feel anything.
[00:29:35] Your heart rate doesn't pick up. You don't get hair standing up on the back of your neck. Your nipples. Don't get hard. I mean you'd none of that stuff happens, right? But when you think about somebody that you love that you really love the hair the hair stand up on the back of my neck right now because I'm thinking of Lisa, you know, my nipples got a little hard.
[00:29:53] No, but I'm being sincere. It's. When you are the one doing the loving it benefits [00:30:00] you it fixes you it heals you it makes you better at makes you more motivated makes you more driven makes you more excited about life and if it doesn't work out with that person no harm no foul, you still experience that whole period of reward there's a country-western song that one of the lyrics is I texted this to my daughter Sydney when she was going through a hard time at once with her boyfriend.
[00:30:21] I said you got to love. Like there's no such thing as a broken heart like you just can't be afraid. You can't worry about that. You can't worry if somebody is real or not. And if you love somebody with all your heart and it turned out that they didn't deserve your love that's on them. That's not on you you just move on and here's one other thing and I found I'm going to be 61 this year, but I have loved deeper and deeper with every relationship.
[00:30:52] I've been to. Because it's kind of like oh that didn't kill me. You know, like the first time you break up with your [00:31:00] like I moved cross-country when I broke up with my first girlfriend. I mean, I lost it. I my compass I threw it away. I started drinking heavy. I mean, I just went off on the deep end move to Las Vegas, but you live you like I'm still alive this worked out.
[00:31:16] Okay, I'm with somebody else now that actually I like so with each of those breakups you realize wow, I can get really deep into. When I can still survive and live so the next person benefits from that because you love them deeper than you love the the past person. So I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about it.
[00:31:37] Don't overthink it brother. If you find somebody that you think the world about and that they make the hair on your neck stand up and your nipples get hard. When you think about them goal of them if they turn out not wanting that love no harm just move on because the best the next one's going to be even.
[00:31:54] Get excited when somebody breaks up with you. You should go. Oh shit. I can't believe what's gonna happen next [00:32:00] now, if that was that good. There's something even better coming. Nah. Don't worry about it best joint supplements. I got to give props to show him a deer over at GLC direct. He has the best it's it's called active Statin and there's nothing like it.
[00:32:18] It's got like six patents on it. Everything else isn't even a close second. But anyway, I would go there and then the next question that Dion had was.
[00:32:33] Sorry, I'm working several computers at being that you started weight training after 40 years old. How much muscle did you put on in the first years? I'd be lying. If I told you I wasn't keeping track. I was I was pounded down protein. I was reading muscle magazines. I was trying everything but what I can tell you.
[00:32:53] Because I still had a lot of fat on me back then. What I can tell you is I got [00:33:00] strong as MF man. I got strong. I was squatting 455 like in a year and a half after first started training. I just had strength. I I am blessed. You know, I come from a long line of Italian brick masons. We're kind of like part mule part human my father.
[00:33:23] So strong, in fact, we lived in a four-story apartment building on Ward Street in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn and he strapped a refrigerator to his back and went up four flights of stairs to bring it to my cousin geraldine's apartment walked it up. Now don't get me wrong refrigerators aren't that heavy if the empty don't get me wrong, but I mean, it wasn't like a consideration, you know, he didn't get a dolly and he walked it up and so.
[00:33:48] I come from really strong people. I never realized that because I never experimented with strength until I got sick and then I realized that wow. I have a gift I need to I need to work with this. [00:34:00] So I don't know how much muscle I put on but I put on Madge strength and I'm told my before I even started using any kind of performance enhancing drugs.
[00:34:09] I was absolutely watching the score on my strength. I can't tell you how much muscle I put on I'd be lying to you. I really would this is a really deep question. What is ultimately what I want sh are to evolve into. When it's all said and done, I don't know. I don't really think that far in advance.
[00:34:31] I don't think about the show that way I get emails for people whole time telling me that the show is changing their lives. I got one from a 24 year old girl that I'm actually turning into a Blog because I'm finding more and more young people listening to my show which to me surprises me because when I was that age, I didn't want to listen to anybody like me.
[00:34:47] Yeah. I want to go out and party and have fun, but apparently there's some very mature very well-grounded 24 year olds out there and they listen to the show. And I love it. What do I want? I'd love for the show to [00:35:00] continue on I really hope that fifty years after I'm dead people are digging up my old episode and going.
[00:35:05] Holy shit. This guy talked about this back then because the funny thing when I talk to advertisers I said, how do you convey to them that we talked about the keto diet in 2006 with dr. Depasquale on this? I had I had we talked about Paleo In 2006. I had dr. Loren cordain on the show when he had just published his book.
[00:35:28] Like I talk about stuff because I'm inquisitive. I'm interested. I'm not I don't look for stuff and go. Oh this will be good content because if I looked at stuff that way I'd be doing a lot of mainstream bullshit. A lot of the stuff we're doing on peptides 5 years from now it's going to be like, wow.
[00:35:45] This guy was talking about peptides all the way back. I was doing a show about all these different peptides and plus we have a peptide question today, too. I just want I just hope that the the show stays around long after I'm gone. I hope that [00:36:00] people are still listening. Obviously, I won't be alive to be Vindicated some of the things.
[00:36:05] I've been called over the course of my career, but. And that leads to this question here. I am I well recognized. I'm not well recognized anywhere now, I could stand next to people and nobody knows who I am. I go to the Arnold. I was more well-recognized when I was working with Aaron cinnamon because Aaron is well recognized my voice is well recognized.
[00:36:27] I will talk and people will say. You know, are you calling or from Super you Maryam? Yeah, I was at an AA 4M convention. If somebody did that to me not too long ago. And so yeah, I but I'm not I don't have that level of celebrity. I really have a small Niche Audience by anybody's standards right?
[00:36:45] I'm not I'm not I'm not a celebrity and this show hasn't made me a celebrity. Let's go to a question from Jason Lulu. He said antibiotics and gut Flora anybody can wipe out your gut for not all of them. [00:37:00] At one point you had discussed doing that on purpose to repopulate the gut I it was a supposition of mine.
[00:37:08] I wonder if you could I didn't do it at the time. It was the vsl number three. I'll never use thatis that stuff gave me sibo. Someone has to take antibiotics. What would you current thoughts about fixing the gut afterwards? I assume LL 3 7 so I take LL 3 7 before taking antibiotics. First of all, LL 3/7 is freaking magic if there's any peptide that lives up to the hype melanotan does GH rp6 does, you know, they do Milano 10 makes you nauseous and tan G RT G RP 6 makes you friggin hungry as all get out and lll 3/7.
[00:37:49] It's out and obliterates all the fungus and and bad microbes in your body. And it's so evident. If you have I get emails now from people who said [00:38:00] I can't believe it. You're right. My toenail fungus one away after one round of ll3 7. I know this stuff is amazing. It's amazing and I can't tell you the number of people who tell me that it's changed their digestive system.
[00:38:14] They can eat anything now not that they. I would not so yes metagenic makes a probiotic that you take specifically with certain types of antibiotics. The emerging research shows that antibiotics may not do the scorched Earth. Thing that we think it does to the Flora now that changes if you are somebody who's getting anybody except every three weeks from your doctor for something that's a debt.
[00:38:43] That's a different story but a round of antibiotics doesn't seem to permanently obliterate the gut microbiome and it looks like the gut does try to restore itself. I would not take ll3 set. I would not take vsl number 3 ever again because [00:39:00] it's just too much too high. I literally seeded my small intestine and gave myself sibo pounding down 900 billion cfus of LL of vsl.
[00:39:15] Number three a day and eating Quantum amounts of fibrous protein bars and protein foods, and and I basically gave it to myself. But yeah, I would use ll3 7 before I use antibiotics. And if I had a virus I would use thymosin alpha 1 before I would use any type of antivirals because these are naturally occurring in the body that peptide you just bumping bumping up the amount and so it's.
[00:39:44] It's definitely something that I would turn to and of course, I Wouldn't Die just to be an ass and go I'm not going to ever take antibiotics. I mean, I'll take them if I'm sick and I need them. I'll definitely take them Dylan gautreaux says. look, [00:40:00] my thoughts are load those trend for an aging male, you know, the the part of me that likes to listen to Linkin Park when I lift says yeah, man.
[00:40:12] But the part of me that understands the overall allostatic load of living and having to manage that says not it's not a good idea. Just take testosterone. You don't need Trend that even low-dose look trend is synthetic. Okay, it's already been associated with all time with dementia. Did you know that I mean, I don't know if I'm going to get dementia from it.
[00:40:31] Maybe I will I did a lot of trend back in the day. But no, I was III don't think so Dillon. I just. No NPP, I know you and I have talked about NPP. I even stopped that I'm like come on testosterone will do everything. I want if I'm just Rock Solid on my training and my diet and get my sleep straight.
[00:40:51] I don't need all the other stuff and neither. Do you you really don't you really don't David, Florida?
[00:41:01] [00:41:00] I love the hamburger when you were 15 years old analogy, but I worry a bit that in my case. It's more like the. Iron enriched Jiffy Mix Pizza that mom made in 1974. Well, here's what we know about that. Plant sources of iron or what they use for iron fortification and supplements and in Foods. It's just not well absorbed.
[00:41:30] Not at all. Not unless you're taking copious amounts of retinol and vitamin C with it while it's in your stomach. This is why iron? Don't help people who are iron malnourished. It doesn't do anything for them. And this is why all of the went so like in third world countries where their children suffer from real severe malnutrition, they give them iron supplements with vitamin C and vitamin A they give it to them that way [00:42:00] because they know that if they just give them iron supplements by itself.
[00:42:03] It's just excreted. The only iron that is readily available is the one that's attached to. It's called heme iron. And that one knows right where to go gets right into your bloodstream and it worked perfectly and it and you will absorb a ton more a ton more of that than the the little tiny bit that you may have gotten from that piece.
[00:42:29] Where in the constitution does government get power to tell the people what they can and cannot put in their bodies intravenous intravenous vitamins cannabis Etc. You know, that's a really good question Kevin and the reality is that the government should not. I'll be able to tell us what to put in our bodies at all and the whole idea that government regulates anything to do with life and I should be able to take my own life if I want to if I'm if I [00:43:00] feel like I'm done and I'm checking out.
[00:43:02] I don't want to I don't want to be a burden to people. I don't want to live for the next five years pooping in a diaper facing the wall. I should be able to check out if I want to and I thought about it plenty of times. I like wow, if I ever got really sick, I would definitely just like I'd go off into the woods.
[00:43:19] And Hunt until I died but you know, that's that's a question that I don't feel comfortable discussing because it's so multifaceted. We would first have to look at Social and religious construct. And how they played a role in the development of government and governmental attitudes and then we would have to say is it the government's place to keep you from hurting yourself?
[00:43:47] And and if not, is it the government's could place to keep you from hurting other people and then the discussion starts to get very very murky, but I don't I you know, if you've listened to my show for any length of time, you know, [00:44:00] I've said I don't want the government in my pantry. I don't want them telling them telling me what I can eat when I can't eat and you know cocaine is a naturally occurring thing, you know cannabis.
[00:44:13] These are all naturally occurring cannabis grows out of the earth, you know, and let's to kind of go tangentially where the whole recreational drug became evil thing. You have to go back to San Francisco during the time of the building of the the Trans American railroad. And we were importing Chinese from China as workers and they were bringing with them opium and opium dens, and they had their opium dens in Chinatown in San Francisco and they freak with the them and then and then but then the the the.
[00:44:51] The people that will also against alcohol the that want to have prohibition. They started to spread [00:45:00] lies rumors. They would say that the Chinese men will luring white women. Into the dens and then giving them opium and then having wild sex with them and then sending them back home and that is when recreational drugs became targeted and it really became targeted because they were trying to eradicate some of these social structures within the Chinese community in San Francisco.
[00:45:30] That's where it all started. That's it, California, California, okay? And so, you know to understand why we can't take drugs you have to go back then because before that my mother used to use something called paregoric on my teeth, and she had this bottle like from when she was young. And it had opium in it.
[00:45:56] They used to put it on the teething baby's gums to get them to stop [00:46:00] crying women used to be able to take a product that they wouldn't be able to go and buy at their their Pharmacy called laudanum which was which was basically an opium drink because women weren't supposed to drink alcohol in public so they would dose with this stuff.
[00:46:17] They keep a little little bottle of it in there and then. Person, they just take a little bit and they'd be cruising and having a good time because they weren't they it was thought that that was a nice for civilized women to drink in public. So they had that so we've had recreational drugs forever.
[00:46:32] But but you can thank California and really the racism that started their against the Chinese people for spreading those horrible rumors and saying that the Chinese guys were was to dating women and raping them that started the whole recreational drugs equals a bad thing. That's all I got on that.
[00:46:51] How do I get LL 3 7 so there's a couple ways you can get it if you have a doctor who is [00:47:00] already prescribing peptides. They can order LL 3/7 from TaylorMade Pharmacy in Nicholasville, Kentucky. If you have a doctor and he's not prescribing peptides tell him to go to the international peptide Society website, which is peptide society-dot- org.
[00:47:20] And sign up to be trained and then he can write you a prescription. You can get it filled there or you can go if you're willing to use a research provider. And it says right on the bottom not for human use, but you handle that. However you want and you could go to a company like peptide sciences.com and get ll3 7 there.
[00:47:44] Let's see. So we have looks like one more question and I'll go through the list. So this one comes from West Scott. He says what's the better peptide? for [00:48:00] ADHD, or. Hip injury. I mean, these are two vastly different conditions that I guess that's why he's asking because you know, these are very very different.
[00:48:10] So for ADHD, I would probably use something like C-Max which is a nootropic injectable or intranasal peptide which has it has a dopamine balancing effect and actually makes people feel more common Folk. I would use definitely LL 3 7 for at least one or two, maybe even three six-week rounds at a hundred micrograms a day because we know that children with ADHD have problems in their guts and recent study has tied gut certain microbes in the gut to ADHD and it makes perfect sense these brain problems that we're having today.
[00:48:57] Originating from the gut because the gut is loaded [00:49:00] with these really horrible microbes and they eat the food that you eat. Excuse me a second. They eat the food you eat and they poop out chemicals and those chemicals either improve the quality of life or they harm the quality of life the latter being poisons and some of those poisons are neurochemicals say they go to the brain.
[00:49:23] They befuddled the brain they. Okay areas of the brain when they shouldn't be poked and these kids don't know what the hell they're doing and they can't focus and they're jumping off the walls. So LL 3 7 absolutely. I would use for ADHD and I'll bet you anything that you could get these kids off of Ritalin, which is horrible drug.
[00:49:44] Oh my God, it's just terrible drug hip injury different story. All the growth hormone secreted dogs Emperor Marilyn modified growth factor 1 through 20 9 GH R P6 c JC 1295. [00:50:00] Absolutely. Also I would look for bpc 157 because these have been shown to heal soft tissue and Bone. So you have growth factors you have bpc 157 and then possibly it depends on.
[00:50:19] There's some sort of muscle issues with the hip but I would also look to something like igf-1 long R3 and small doses of that and in the general vicinity of the. I need to buy a pallet of ll3 7 Darcy clock says yes a palette. I'm I'm waiting for some right now. I ran out. It's great stuff. It's great stuff.
[00:50:46] Look at this. This is actually a commercial free show. It wasn't supposed to be I was supposed to run some commercials here. What is your take on Oral B PC? 157, so. I think it works, [00:51:00] but I don't know that it works. I've never used it all the early research. George says you can use it. I think that what we do know about it is it's actually we don't know if you take it in the orally if it goes to work helping the stomach first because bpc 157 is also good for the.
[00:51:23] We don't know that so there's I think there's a the needs to be more research, but the early research said that it was a peptide that was friendly to the gut and so as a result of that you could take it orally and it wouldn't be degraded. I I still would inject it. I really would dr. Jeff golini in the crowd great job called.
[00:51:45] Thank you. Dr. Jay. We need to talk brother. I haven't talked to you in too long. It's been too long. Let's see. I don't think we have any other questions. That's it. Let me make sure let me just go through this list here and make sure I didn't miss anybody. I'll feel [00:52:00] bad. If I did we got that question.
[00:52:02] We got that question got that. Bring back flow. Gel. Yes. He saw Scott Richardson knows who I am from the board's. Haha. He put that up there. Yes, bring back Flo-Jo. I still use Flo-Jo from time to time when I'm doing experiments with stuff. In fact, I sent a bottle of flow gel Ultra to doctor dr.
[00:52:23] J. So he could reverse-engineer it. I'm waiting for him to come out with his new transdermal. So hopefully that'll be and not too far away. But anyway, yes, the Scott Richardson is talking about flow gel Ultra, which was my go-to transdermal vehicle that I used to use when I want the two compound stuff.
[00:52:43] Let's say and it's a fantastic product. It's very expensive. I knew the formulator. His name was Jim Rogers and we became very close friends. And I even had him on my show. I think in like 2007 is probably the most boring interview. [00:53:00] It's probably my most boring interview I've ever done because we're so heavy in transdermal science.
[00:53:06] I should dig it up. What is my favorite protein Source? You know what I got to say egg. Dr. J. I really do and I'll tell you why I've had a back off of the of the red meat while I get my iron under control and I've been eating. Eggs twice a day but I mean a lot of so, I'm only eating I'm doing it the bodybuilding style like you would have done back in the day.
[00:53:31] I'm eating I'm having a cup to a cup and a half of pure liquid egg whites. Nothing else in them. No gum is nothing like that and then two whole eggs thrown in there and I'll do that twice a day. I do that for my first meal in the morning and for my last meal in the evening and I love eggs, and you know, and you know better than I do that eggs.
[00:53:53] Are really the king of all protein sources when you compare protein sources, [00:54:00] everything is compared to Egg and I like egg. I like the way it tastes. I really do and let's see. So this comes from Brendan Murphy. Could Michelle Obama have higher than normal testosterone levels? I know it's decided.
[00:54:14] This is supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek kind of a joke thing. But the reality is that Michelle Obama may have had a very mild pituitary adenoma at a young age. That is so a lot of a lot of times people have pituitary adenoma. They they have an active period in during during their adolescence and during their maturation and then it stops.
[00:54:43] The only time we see the pituitary adenoma not stop. It usually results in Accra maglia where giantism where we have you know, Andre the Giant he had a pituitary adenoma that produced way too much growth hormone and and they usually die early by the [00:55:00] way, too because of the. Excessive effects of very very high levels of growth hormone lifelong, but I think it's probably more likely that Michelle Obama either has a pituitary adenoma that has gone back to sleep or something in her environment caused her to really produce a lot of growth hormone during the maturation phases because she she is a big human being she's a big human being I will say that.
[00:55:32] You know, and I'm sure there's other big human beings in her family. I'm sure that the she probably I've never done the research. I really don't care to but I'll bet that it's not uncommon in her in her lineage either. So there's there you go. I one of the questions are there. Come on I said, I'll answer anything and people are throwing some really good questions that we I wasn't prepared for.
[00:55:52] I'm trying not to be political either trying to answer these questions straight forward without an agenda. Anyway, it looks like [00:56:00] that's it. So I'm gonna pull the plug. This has been a fun fun fun fun. Come at me, bro. I got to thank Dion Spears. I got it. Thank Patrick Rodgers. I got to thank Wescott.
[00:56:14] I got to thank Kirkland more Letty. Who am I missing and Joe nasrallah for sending questions. And so Monday I'll post on. The next upcoming which will be in two weeks from today and then people can sell put their questions and it's a lot easier if everybody just post your questions there because it's so much easier for me to go.
[00:56:37] I have people who text me questions PM me questions put them on Facebook send them an email to on are to be rated on that and it's hard enough if I missed your question, that's why I everything is not in the same place. Okay, wait, we have more here. Allergy season upon us with LL 3/7 help with that or anything else.
[00:56:58] I don't think so. I don't think yellow [00:57:00] 3/7 is going to help with allergies because allergies is something completely different right allergies is an immune system that for some reason has decided that what you're allergic to is harmful. And so it overreacts things that would help you with allergies.
[00:57:13] However, you can thank Alisa profumo for this bit of information that is stinging nettle leaves a supplement with stinging nettle leaves also. Quercetin quercetin quercetin also MSM if you take those three things and clinically in clinical doses. So of course that in you're going to need about I think about 200 milligrams twice a day.
[00:57:41] I want to say stinging nettle leaves. You'll probably need about a half a gram of standardized highly standardized wrong. Cereals probably about half a gram two or three times a day and methylsulfonylmethane MSM [00:58:00] you want to take about 2 grams twice a day I predict if you did that you would not see the allergies that you normally see and you won't have to take anything that makes you feel weird like some of these antihistamines that they promote how do I feel about McCune Apprentice, you know?
[00:58:17] I've never noticed any increases in dopamine or any signs of increases in dopamine. I've used it several times over the years. I don't feel anything about it. I think some people respond to it and some people don't I mean it's just it's just that straight out but you know look my sister when she had Parkinson's disease she took it for a while and she seemed to think that it was doing something for her.
[00:58:41] I don't know that it was but she thought it. So I think mucuna may have some value just it's just not something I've ever been excited about and that's it. Oh, by the way, if you don't put on Blue blocking sunglasses before you go to sleep at night, you're missing out on [00:59:00] one of the greatest nights sleep ever.
[00:59:03] And right now if you go to superhuman radio dotnet and click the blue blocks Banner ad you can save 20% off a pair of Blue Block sunglasses. To wear as am I where am I swear by my tell you right now? I put them on and an hour and a half to two hours. I am yawning. If you want to be asleep by 9:00 o'clock, you put them on by 7.
