My body is 70% water and not a single

ounce of that is in this form.

The vast majority of the water within my

body is actually in a crystalline

structure.

Uh if you've ever seen Jell-O, eaten

Jell-O, made Jell-O, you see liquid turn

into a solid. And that gel-like

structure within Jell-O is the result of

complex

crystal structures of the water

organizing itself around proteins.

>> [gasps]

>> And that's how I hold water. And it

turns out that my biologic age and my

likelihood of disease correlates

perfectly with how much crystal water do

I hold. That crystal water is holding

something within it, and it's light. In

a very amazing

biologic phenomenon, this planet is able

to capture solar energy in chlorophyll,

which are tiny little mitochondria that

live inside of plants, little bacteria.

And these chlorophyll have been able to

take CO2 and turn it into batteries.

And the battery is a long chain of

carbon double carbon bond is the most

efficient battery ever invented by

nature. It takes no energy to maintain

the light within that. So, sunlight is

captured between two CO2 molecules and

then eight and then 12 in these long

carbon chains. And then we digest those

by consuming food. And we liberate

glucose, sugars, carbohydrates, fatty

acids in in the oils in our foods. And

we package that up in our liver and send

it out to every cell in the body. And it

turns out that human cells don't know

how to use any of that glucose or fatty

acids. And it turns out that when I

drink water like this, I'm doing very

little to support the crystalline

structure within my cells. For this to

turn into a crystal, it takes a complex

relationship to a vast array of salts,

mineral amino acid complexes, and

protein structures.

And that's where we kind of lost the

hydration story.

If I drink this water, it's going to

feel good. It's going to feel like I'm

hydrating myself for a few minutes. But

I'm going to pee this out in the next 45

minutes.

It'll If I haven't emptied my bladder,

it will be sitting in my bladder. It's

no longer in my body. It's outside of my

body again.

Because this pure water has no reservoir

in my body. It has to pass quickly

through my bloodstream back to the

kidneys and get out to my urine.

And so the journey into health is really

a rediscovery of how do you get water

into the crystal stage? And that it's a

complex journey in some ways, but it is

an exciting premise to begin with is I

need to be more full of light. How do I

become more full of light so that I'm

more vital so I can repair at a faster

rate than ever before cuz there's more

poisons in my environment than any other

time in human history. I need more

crystalline structure. And so we

re-evaluate water at that that journey

from your gut into the crystal form

inside your cells where it turns into

that gel battery storage place for that

light liberation from the sunlight

for the animation of life to happen. An

ideal phase angle is up around 10, 12.

I've never seen anybody at 10 or 12. The

healthiest patients walking my clinic

are typically around a seven or an eight

on their phase angle. Anybody coming in

with disease, let's go with cancer for

for the endpoint there, is typically

around a four.

Death happens at 3.5.

And so what I just told you is ideal

health is 10.

Death is 3.5

and cancer shows up at four.

And here we're telling everybody they're

dying of cancer.

As it turns out when you look at the

simple reality of water inside a cell,

cancer is one of the last symptoms of a

complete disconnect from the energetics

of life. Cancer happens when you no

longer are connected to the energy of

that plant, of that chlorophyll, of that

sunlight that charged life in the first

place.

And so that's where we go with this

eight-week journey is where where did it

break down? How did you go from 10 to

three? How did you get from 10 to four?

Whatever it is.

You mentioned a product earlier, the the

the gut supplement you probably got put

on by your nutritionist, but the journey

into that phenomenon was our

understanding of soil [snorts]

and food, and how did it break down so

quickly was the question we were trying

to answer. How did we go from 1992 to

2002? That 10 years saw the complete

dissolution of human health across all

ages, across all organ systems in a

10-year period, across all peoples

really that we're touching Western

civilization, Western food systems.

And in that journey, we discovered

glyphosate, and glyphosate is the

primary herbicide or weed killer in the

vast majority, 90 plus percent of the

weed killers on the planet. We now

spend, you know, billions of dollars a

year spraying this thing into our

environment. We have an estimated 4

billion pounds of glyphosate being

sprayed into our soil and water systems

worldwide.

And it turns out, as our laboratory has

been studying this compound for a decade

now, every time you touch human cell

systems with glyphosate, it dissolves

the communication between them.

It disconnects you from the boundary of

being human, and it dissolves that to

the point where you don't know where you

begin or end at human biology, and you

your immune system has to turn on to

fight everything.

So, you were eating pretty healthy. You

were exercising. You were living a

pretty affluent lifestyle compared to

the rest of the world, perhaps, and yet

you weren't thriving

because there was a chemical now in your

food that was dissolving the boundary of

and your energy was now leaking out of

your body, quite literally. We've

popularized the term leaky gut, but it's

much deeper than that. That is happening

at the individual cell level. That's

leaking light, leaking water outside of

itself. If you can't hold that

crystalline water, you can't hold the

vitality, the energetics of the plants

you're eating, of the nutrition you're

eating. And so, you start to fade with

your energy levels. And with less

energy, you repair less well, and you

start into this chronic disease that

happened between 1992 and 2002. Chronic

fatigue syndrome, it was chronic pain

and everything mentioned.

And so that was your personal journey.

And then you got put on a supplement.

What What is that supplement? It's not

actually

traditional supplement. Most supplements

are like pieces of the nutrition cascade

of a vitamin or mineral or protein or

whatever it is. This is way way upstream

of that.

This is not a nutrient. This is in fact

the the small carbon molecules that form

a redox signaling system which is a

fancy word for a wireless communication

network between your cells.

And so when a single cell gets injured

now, it can't send out the signal of

hey, I'm I'm injured. I need repair. And

it sits there and accumulates injury.

And with that accumulation of injury, we

reach cancer. Cancer is a single human

cell that has 20,000 unrepaired genetic

injuries in it.

And so this journey towards cancer is

not only a loss of electric light and

light potential, it's a loss of

communication and loss of that

regenerative potential. And so we now

have a whole society of humans, 8

billion of us that are losing our light.

We are dimming and we are losing our our

cell-cell communication. The cell phone

towers are going down and we cannot

repair.

But nature always prepares for the

worst. And the antidote, it turns out,

to the death of communication, which is

happening at the human level, is

actually the microbiome, which is a term

that's now thrown around a lot. And I

think we all have a vague understanding.

I think that's like bacteria or

something. But really what it's

describing is complex ecosystem. It's

It's thousands, if not tens of

thousands, if not millions of different

species of bacteria, fungi, protozoa,

and human cells alike, all getting into

this coherent communication network. And

so the microbiome is a description of a

complex landscape of biodiversity.

And each of those microbes, bacteria,

fungi, protozoa, and the like, are

making another variant of these small

carbon snowflakes. And when those carbon

snowflakes go into a liquid state, into

the aqueous state of your bloodstream,

or into that semi-aqueous state of the

gel within your cells, they're able to

transmit information long distances.

>> Yeah, no, thank you for explaining that.

It's It's incredible how

little we know. I mean, when I'm

listening to you, I'm just thinking to

myself, I'm like, we just we just don't

know enough.

And

individually and collectively as well,

but

one of the things you talked about

water, we talked about a bit about

microbiome, which I want to get back

into, but

a big area that you're focusing on is

soil regeneration. I think that's been

something that's

been more recently talked about as

opposed to something that we've thrown

around, as you were saying about the

microbiome, but

talk us through that very key element of

the environment.

>> The soil is a living life form, the most

complex living life form on the planet,

and and life itself as we understand it.

We've never measured a more beautiful

system of than the soil.

A teaspoon of soil has more organisms

than are humans on the entire planet. A

teaspoon. And so, that there's a

complexity and a brilliance and a beauty

of that living ecosystem of soil that

dwarfs our current understanding of cell

biology. We don't We can't

actually

measure in a petri dish the behavior of

8 billion different species in a

teaspoon of soil, because we haven't

developed good enough scientific

measures and fast enough computers to

compute that much information so fast.

So, we tend to study one species of

bacteria and make a whole bunch of

conclusions that maybe it's bad for us.

Well, this whole concept of bad bacteria

and good bacteria of the probiotics has

really dissolved now. We realize there

is no such thing as a good bacteria or a

bad bacteria. There's only a healthy

ecosystem or a monoculture.

Monoculture or the death of biodiversity

is is the demise of life.

A push towards biodiversity is the

matrix of health.

And it is unfortunate that over the last

100 years we've developed a deep

economic and, you know, physical labor

dependence on chemicals for our farming

and agriculture. These chemicals destroy

the biodiversity of every ounce of soil

we put these chemicals on. They function

as antibiotics. Glyphosate, that most

common of of herbicides, has been

patented as an antibiotic, antifungal,

antiparasite. It literally demolishes

life within the soil that it touches.

And yet, this is what farmers are

trained to use. We genetically modified

all of our seeds so that the food would

be sprayed repeatedly through its

lifespan with that chemical. And so,

Roundup Ready seeds means

poison-tolerant

food system.

But when as a microbiome you're not

prepared for that poison, or as a

consumer, as an animal upstream, you're

not prepared for that injury, you become

poisoned in a way in which you are right

not Roundup Ready. Neither was your

microbiome in your gut, which is your

soil system.

And so, all this focus on

>> [clears throat]

>> gut health of the last 10 years is

simply a description of soil is

important. It's where life comes from.

Life comes out of biodiversity and

relationship, cooperation of biodiverse

inputs. Regenerative agriculture is a

description of this revolution that is a

foot that we are participating in. Our

nonprofit Farmers Footprint has been

part of this effort to increase

awareness and learning,

impact, and innovation around the

opportunity for farmers to shift away

from the belief that they're there to

grow bushels of corn. And instead,

they're there to grow life within their

soil systems. And when every day they

wake up asking, "How can I create more

life and diversity within my soils?"

instead of what can I kill today, which

is what chemical farming is, which

invasive weeds are now attacking, what,

you know, I I see you life support do I

need to put my farm on? Oh gosh, I'm out

of all these nutrients, so I need to

intravenously inject all these nutrients

with all these chemical inputs. It's an

ICU condition in the farm just as it is

an ICU condition in my hospital.

And so this is a journey really into

realizing that we are doing ICU care

because we lost the matrix of life,

which is biodiversity, which is the soil

within your gut, soil beneath your feet.

And it's exciting to realize that we can

participate this at every level.

If we walk out in your yard right now,

you have an American lawn.

And an American lawn is the third

largest crop grown in the United States.

There are 40 million acres of lawn,

Kentucky bluegrass grown in this

country. There's only 120 million acres

of farmland. 40 million acres of grass,

so that it looks nice or whatever it is.

We have lots of reasons, convenience,

mow it, whatever.

If we were to take that 40 million acres

of lawn and convert that to food forests

in our backyards, front yards, and the

rest, we would never go hungry. In in

the next 70 generations, there could not

be hunger because we would have so much

food bursting from every yard. Today,

the United States of America is failing

cuz we have 3,000 mile supply chains, so

the food is not grown here in this

country anymore because all of our soil

is dead.

The cost of putting seed in the ground

now exceeds the cost that it can be sold

for.

And so we have all these government

subsidies to keep telling farmers to

plant genetically modified crops and put

them under dollar expensive, you know,

high intensity inputs, which is bankrupt

team basically every farm, and they're

all on life support economically getting

these subsidies that we call USDA crop

insurance and all these fake things.

Boosting up dead soil.

Dead dirt.

And so if there is a belief of homeland

security, if there's really a belief of

nations are, you know, capable of of

safety, you have to begin at the soil.

And presidents long back have recognized

this. Franklin Delano Roosevelt said the

future of every country is in their

soil.

And he said that because we were in the

Dust Bowl, which was a devastation of

our topsoils due to poor farming

practices, and we were starving as a

nation. So twice in a single century

we've destroyed our top soils through

poor understanding of biology originally

and now a codependence on chemical

farming and and antibiotics as a

mechanism for growing food. And so, for

that we have 3,000 mile supply chains

and every city has now become a really

vulnerable island.

And we saw that in the pandemic.

Suddenly grocery store shelves were

empty because the ships couldn't get

into the ports, the trucks had stopped

driving and there was no food on

shelves.

It's a very desperate situation we're in

in the United States, but unfortunately

we have exported that behavior of food

systems to the entire developed world.

London is now as vulnerable as the

United States and the rest. Paris is

vulnerable.

Los Angeles, where we sit today, has a

3-day food supply.

To millions and millions of people.

And so, if an earthquake happens and

disrupts the one highway system that

comes into Los Angeles,

we will lose our food supply in 3 days

and we will have a massive riot and

humanitarian crisis on our hands.

We are an island unto ourselves and our

food is 3,000 miles away and we're not

realizing it.

Instead, we have 40 million acres of

grass that we can't eat.

And we're spraying that with Roundup in

our backyards to kill the few

dandelions, which are the only edible

and anti-cancer compound that's in your

backyard right now.

And so, we need to start realizing we

need to eat that dandelion green, not

the dandelion flower even before it

flowers. You're eating that green and

you're getting the nutrients and you're

getting life back in and and you go

beyond that and you say, "Let's get some

beets and turnips and all the rest.

Let's get some other root vegetables in

there."

And suddenly your your backyard could

turn into a bounty of safety for your

family, for your community and the rest.

And so, this is the paradigm shift that

Farmers Footprint is really working on

is

can we realize how vulnerable we've made

ourselves as individuals? And not just

at the biological level level of our

chronic disease, but also at the

societal level as we have divorced

ourselves from soil.

>> Is there any way, I mean, hearing that,

is there any way

to have an optimal life still eating

from a supermarket?

>> Well, we learned it in space during the

pandemic.

You might remember there was a moment

where we every place in the in the

country sold out of seeds. And so we

started growing again.

And we're seeing a very exciting

movement in young people right now. A

lot of people are leaving the cities to

go start farming. They've never farmed

before. They have absolutely no idea.

But they have this deep knowingness

inside of them that I'm supposed to get

not just to a farm, but I'm supposed to

build community around that farm. So I'm

going to take me and my best 10 friends

and we're going to move out into the

country and we're going to start

farming. And the regenerative

agriculture movement has been led mostly

by women and mostly by youth in this

country. And so there is a real movement

not just here, but now as we've spawned

Farmers Footprint UK, Farmers Footprint

Australia, the Western world is starting

to reimagine its relationship to food

and soil. And it's really the women and

the and the youth that are finding this

path forward for us. And it's because I

think deep inside of that feminine

archetype that we all have access to,

male, female, or rest,

that feminine archetype is about nurture

and it is about connection. And that's

ultimately what I believe the

regenerative agriculture movement is in

one word. It is a reconnect. It is a

reconnect to nature. And there's many

ways to do it. There's not a

prescription for here's a regenerative

farm. It's about listening into your

nature, listening into the reality

that's trying to express itself on that

piece of land, and then being in support

of that rather than trying to

micromanage that thing.

And so that's a very much a feminine

archetype we can all connect to. It's

how do we let life start coming into our

lives in a biodiverse fashion.

It doesn't necessarily have to happen

just at the food and the soil. It can

happen with your community and the

inputs you're taking on. If your input

every day is CNN or Fox News, you're

going to become a monocrop almost

immediately. You're going to lose all

biodiversity of information. You're

going to become very monotonous in your

belief systems. you're going to

be very easy to push into a small box of

fear, guilt, and shame.

If you go out in nature and spend hours

a day hiking and walking through nature

and smelling real soil and touching

ferns and

being in awe of the wildflower and

bathing in

in a waterfall,

you can't be put in the same box because

you are seeing the complexity and beauty

of nature that predated our existence,

let alone the existence of a television

or a news channel or whatever it is. And

so the excitement is for me is as far as

ways this might sound to you right now

to be growing your own food all this

stuff, you are just a few seconds away

from your introduction to that universe.
