WEBVTT 1 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.960 Welcome to Destiny. 2 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.320 Now here's your host, Cliff Dunning. 3 00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.440 All right, hey, how you doing. Come on, let's have 4 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.839 a seat, let's talk. This is another biohacking basic series, 5 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.479 and today we're talking about inflation inflammation, which is a 6 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.799 critical problem. Also gluten and everything we eat today seems 7 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.359 to have bits and pieces of gluten, and not just 8 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.000 our bread, not just on our pancakes and our biscuits 9 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:49.039 and other goodies. It is everywhere and this is causing 10 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.119 a huge problem. Not only gluten sensitivity, which can look 11 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:04.079 like constipation, coughing, reaction, different kinds of reaction. The other 12 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.400 thing that is a consideration with gluten is that it 13 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.319 is everywhere. Again I mentioned it's everywhere. It's not good 14 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.439 for you in huge quantities. And the other the bigger problem, 15 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.120 I think, is the fact that it is being modified. 16 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:25.760 It's being grossly modified from its original form for higher yields, 17 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.519 for anti insect pellant when it's in its raw state, 18 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.959 and when we keep modifying it, we take away the 19 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.000 original form that the body was much more accepting of, 20 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.599 and this is where we have poor reaction. Now, the 21 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.280 bigger problem is inflammation, and this is what is being 22 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.799 studied right now. And when you have inflammation of you 23 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.280 and your body, it can cause great harm to your organs. 24 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.840 We now understand that people who have dementia or Alzheimer's 25 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.079 have inflamm of their brain, and I didn't realize this 26 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.879 until very recently. And this is kind of the focus 27 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.159 of the program today. And I am going to come clean. 28 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.479 I'm going to come clean. I have been biohacking now 29 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.919 for a few months. I am now on semi glue tite, 30 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.919 which is the main compound in ozimpic. I have lost 31 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.039 I see. I started in late August and it's a 32 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.759 once a week my self injection is each Wednesday. It's 33 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.360 a small little syringe. It has a quarter inch needle 34 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.120 that you plunge in your belly fat and it's very 35 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.639 easy to give. It's the same kind of syringe that 36 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.599 they use when you are diabetic and you have to 37 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.039 give yourself insulin. This is the semi glue tite is 38 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.080 delivered in these little syringes and I haven't been on 39 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.840 it since mid August. I've lost, like I said, two 40 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.319 belt sizes, probably about ten pounds. But I'm taking a 41 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.319 very low dose because one of the problems with this 42 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.599 is that some people have nausea, they have poor reactions, 43 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.919 and I wanted to I'm following Tina more doctor Tina 44 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:28.800 Moore's program. If you want some expertise on GLP one products, drugs, 45 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.039 check it out. It's you can go to Tina More 46 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:38.719 Moore on the internet on YouTube or go to her 47 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.080 website and she has a program on how to apply 48 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.639 and use these powerful weight loss drugs. And this is 49 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.120 this is biohacking one A is this ozmpic or the 50 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.800 compound in it? Now? I paid almost two hundred dollars 51 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.520 a month for a supply of four injections. And some 52 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.520 people might think that's a lot, but I'll tell you 53 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.840 I've had a trouble for about ten years and losing 54 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.520 significant weight. And it's not that I don't exercise and 55 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.599 watch my food. It's just I have a you know, 56 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.759 I'm getting older and the body is sluggish. And this 57 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.839 is something. This is a miracle drug. And you know, 58 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.680 it's funny because I'm with kids of permanente. They don't 59 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.079 recognize it that much. They don't they won't prescribe it 60 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.199 for obesity or for I mean, they may sub prescribe 61 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.920 it for diabetes type two but they're not. I had 62 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:44.639 to go outside of my provider. It's a clinic in 63 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.639 text it's called amble am bl E, and they'll do 64 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.959 a online history and there's certain criteria you can't have. 65 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.839 If you have any kind of any kind of thyroid 66 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:05.000 issues or if you have other problems, then they just can't, 67 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.000 you know, they can't prescribe it to you. But in 68 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.199 my case, I don't have any reactions and stuff like that. 69 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.800 So again, I've been on it since mid August. Every Wednesday, 70 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.079 I get an injection and I'm biohacking baby. And you know, 71 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.240 for those of you who are like, oh, you're crazy, 72 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.000 you shouldn't be doing those things, it's peptides. It's peptides. 73 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.879 Check out Tina Moore. Check it out. See what she 74 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.920 has to say. She's a physician and she is one 75 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.160 of the top people who are talking about working with 76 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.000 semi glue tight injections for weight loss and in my 77 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.839 case with heart condition. It actually helps with blood pressure, 78 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.040 it helps with cardiac reaction, lessons, heart attacks. It's really 79 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.360 I mean, I keep saying this. I want it for 80 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.000 weight loss, but it has a lot of other benefits 81 00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:00.600 for people who are dealing with cardiac issues. Go bio 82 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.040 Hacking one oh one. Your host is in it. If 83 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.879 you have any questions on what I'm doing, send me 84 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.519 an email, send it to Earth Ancients for you the 85 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.800 number four of the letter you at gmail dot com 86 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.480 and I'll react to you. I will definitely get back 87 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.560 to you and tell you what I'm up to. So 88 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.879 today's program is with doctor Tom O'Brien. He has a 89 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:30.519 documentary series called the The Inflammation Equation, and he talks 90 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.120 about how the American healthcare system is broken and you 91 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.720 have to really take on these challenges, these physical challenges 92 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.600 on your own in many cases, and what that means 93 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.279 is that you just have to take do a little 94 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.480 more research on your own. You have to look out 95 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.319 and see I mean, and this is not looking in 96 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:56.600 medical journals. Well, unless you have a major degenerative condition cancer, MS, 97 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.519 rheumatoid arthritis, UH, the immune of affecting types of diseases, 98 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.439 you may have to go and do a little research 99 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.639 in a medical journal. But for the most part, if 100 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.160 you have a condition, and remember, biohacking is about taking 101 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.240 back your health, but not simply taking back your health. 102 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.720 It's being as well as you can as long as 103 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:22.040 you can and being as active as you can body 104 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.839 mind and spirit brain. You don't want dementia, you don't 105 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.160 want problems with your cognition your body. You want to 106 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.800 be able to move around. You don't want to be 107 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:37.360 saddled to a chair or a couch in your senior years. 108 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.680 You want to be as active as possible. So this 109 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.800 is why we're doing this biohacking series. So you're going 110 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:51.920 to hear a lot of controversy in this program, but 111 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.879 I think that this is something that you can definitely 112 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.920 be a part of if you're interested and you want 113 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.639 to gain greater insight into what's going on with your body. 114 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:08.360 So today's program is the Inflammation Equation, and my guest 115 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.040 is doctor Tom O'Brien. 116 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.839 I did a lot of. 117 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:33.320 Never did argy just because the thought of being vulnerable 118 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:44.720 made me feel less than I. 119 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:52.840 I have never fouled until you answered, and from that moment. 120 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.360 I knew that all. 121 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.039 As we continue our Buying Old Hacking series, we're talking 122 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:04.679 today on nutrition choices in healthcare and my guest today 123 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.519 is doctor Tom O'Brian. He is a doctor of chiropractor. 124 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:12.480 He is an award winning author, an internationally recognized leader, speaker, 125 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:18.399 and educator, and expert on autoimmune diseases and metabolic disorders. 126 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.879 He's also the author of The Autoimmune Fix, How to 127 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.799 stop the hidden autoimmune damage that keeps you sick, fat 128 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.320 and tired before it turns into disease. That's a hell 129 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.399 of a long title, but we're going to hear about it. 130 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.360 And then the other book that I discovered that he 131 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.399 wrote is called You Can Fix Your Brain just one 132 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.679 hour a week to the best memory, productivity and sleep 133 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.519 you've ever had. These are books that he has written, 134 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.000 but more importantly, he has just released, or it's been 135 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:53.320 out for a couple of years now, a documentary series 136 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.159 called The Inflammation Equation. And this is very very important 137 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.600 for us because not only does it have to do 138 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.320 with what we do in terms of nutrition, what we eat, 139 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.799 but also how to be aware of your healthcare. So, hey, Tom, 140 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.559 welcome to Destiny. Great to have you. 141 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.639 Thanks clip a couple of things that I made to 142 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.039 start off with. The Inflammation Equation launched in April of 143 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.799 this year. 144 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.960 So oh, it's clearly new. 145 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.480 Okay, five months five months ago and already we're up 146 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.200 for some awards, and you know, the feedback has been 147 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.639 just marvelous, marvelous. And on the titles of the books. 148 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.039 You know they're both published by Rodale, And for two 149 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.639 weeks I argued with Roadale about the titles because they 150 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.679 wanted some different title. I don't know. You can fix 151 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:47.200 your Brain, that's the title of the book. Then they 152 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.639 put in the clip, which I agreed with because it 153 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.240 actually is the secret to success. And for all of 154 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.559 your listeners, they watch a show where you bring on 155 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.519 some expert and he talks about his field of expertise, 156 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.799 and then people are engaged wanting to do that. But 157 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.440 then the next week there's a new expert, and people 158 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.519 are engaged and they want to do that, and they 159 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.600 get overwhelmed and they throw the baby out with the bathwater. 160 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.720 But the secret to success in changing the direction of 161 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.440 your health is you allocate one hour a week every 162 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.320 Tuesday night after dinner, every Sunday after services, whenever it is. 163 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.200 But every week you tell your family, don't bother me 164 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.919 for this hour, I'm going to spend some time to 165 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.120 learn a little more how we can be healthier. And 166 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.559 then you take one of the topics that you heard of, 167 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.840 such as you store your leftover food and plastic containers 168 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:49.279 and refrigerator. The next day that food is loaded with folly, 169 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.679 the chemicals used to mold plastic. It leached out of 170 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.840 the containers into the food, and you said, wait, wait, 171 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.679 what what? And then but then you learn in the 172 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.639 book that here's three URLs for glass storage containers, and 173 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.080 you go online and you look at Miles Kimball dot 174 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.799 com and Amazon and whatever. The third one is I remember, 175 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.000 and you say, oh, I really like those, I really 176 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.039 like those. And so you order those three round ones, 177 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.120 two square ones, one for the pie. You pay with 178 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.320 your credit card, hit send. It took an hour, but 179 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.759 then you're done for the week. But never again will 180 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:32.200 you poison your family with minute amounts of these endocrine disruptors, 181 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:36.279 these hormone disruptors called pallates. You'll never give them, these 182 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.320 minute amounts that accumulate in the body over the years. 183 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.720 So next week you then deal with air quality, indoor 184 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.639 air quality. Next week you deal with food sensitivities, one 185 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.480 at a time. That's why that title is so important. 186 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.720 Just one hour a week to the best memory, productivity 187 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.799 and sleep you've ever had. 188 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.519 And I really like your series, Tom. You don't have 189 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.519 just one person for the full forty five minutes or 190 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.240 whatever time period it is. You have a number of experts, 191 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.440 each bringing their expertise to the subject. So let's talk 192 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:17.000 a little bit about the American diet and the over 193 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.279 use of gluten products and the problem with gluten. Let's 194 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.159 start there, Tom, Well, what is the issue? And I'm 195 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.840 going to focus on the American side of it, but 196 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:32.519 it can be pretty much anywhere universally, except that we 197 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.799 don't see it in the same way that we see 198 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.720 it in the United States. What is it about bread 199 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.519 and gluten products that is such an issue with our health? 200 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:47.039 Really good question. We have the same body as our 201 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.080 ancestors thousands and thousands of years ago. The same kid 202 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.120 needs the same gallbladder, the same immune system. Our body 203 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:59.080 is worth the same. We've got more creature comfort than 204 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.840 ever before safety, but our bodies are the same ten 205 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:10.279 thousand years ago. Agriculture developed before that, which is only 206 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.960 a blip on the screen ten thousand years But before agriculture, 207 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:20.399 everyone were nomads. They followed the herds. They were always 208 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:25.360 looking for food. That was their number one concern, then safety, 209 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:31.000 then reproduction, but always food. If they found something, they'd 210 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.480 pick it up first they smell it, then they nibble 211 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:38.919 at it, and then they eat it. We have sentries 212 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.879 standing guard in the first part of the small intestine, 213 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.960 So any food that comes out of the stomach into 214 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:51.039 the small intestine, those sentries. I think of the soldiers 215 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.639 at Buckingham Palace with those big hats. You know, they're 216 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.360 as dormant as can be. They're not moving, they're not 217 00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.159 doing anything. But don't mess with those guys. Do not 218 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.120 mess with those guys. In the first part of our 219 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.279 small intestine. We have sentries standing guard in the immune system. 220 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.480 They're called toll like receptors. It doesn't matter what they're called. 221 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:17.240 Just think of the soldiers at Buckingham Palace. They're watching 222 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:21.480 everything that comes out of the stomach into the intestines 223 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.279 because once it's in the intestines, it gets absorbed into 224 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:29.240 the body, and so they're screening every morsel. If they 225 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:35.720 see a bug, two things happen immediately. One, you get 226 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.759 leaki gut. Why because opening the cell a little bit 227 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.159 allows water from the body to leak into the intestines 228 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:51.000 and it washes out the bug with the poop. Leaki 229 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.879 gut is not bad for you. Excessive leaky gut is 230 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.639 bad for you, but leaki gut saves your life. It 231 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.080 saved our ancestors life. I said, there were two things. 232 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:06.080 That's the first. The second thing that happens is that 233 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:12.879 it activates the Century activates the major amplifier of inflammation 234 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:17.159 in the gut, actually in the body. It's called nf kappaB. 235 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.039 It's another geek term, doesn't matter, but nf kappaB is 236 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.240 the desk sergeant at the police station. You guys, you 237 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.879 go over here and take care of this area. You guys, 238 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.240 you're in that neighborhood today. You guys, you're over here. 239 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:38.720 So when the Centuries sends a bug, they increase water 240 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.120 coming into the intestine to wash the bug out, and 241 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.000 they increase inflammation to kill the bug. All of this 242 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.799 happens within five minutes. If you're a geek like me, 243 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.320 when you watch the videos, it's very cool to see, 244 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:58.480 you know how it happens within five minutes. Okay, so 245 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.120 all of that background, now, Well, for those ancestors that 246 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:08.880 didn't have good toll like receptor function, they died. The 247 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.000 bugs and the food killed them. They did not reproduce 248 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:19.799 everyone who's here today. Our ancestors had successful immune systems 249 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.920 protecting them from the occasional bug that they got exposed 250 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.880 to that did not kill them. Right, So we all 251 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.519 carry this same mechanism. It's a life saving mechanism. We 252 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.119 all have this. So that's the background to answer your question. 253 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:45.160 The century standing guard now Alessio Ficano is a professor 254 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.519 of medicine Harvard Medical School, a professor of nutrition, Harvard 255 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:54.279 School of Public Health, the chief of pediatric gas Entrology 256 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:59.119 at Mass General at Harvard, the director of the Celiac 257 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:03.839 Research Center at Harvard, and the Director of mucosal Immunology 258 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.720 at Harvard. This guy's got five titles that any one 259 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.759 title is a lifelong dream for someone at the top 260 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.359 of their game. In other words, he's very credible, top 261 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.200 of the field, top of the field. He wrote a 262 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.599 paper where there's over three hundred papers with his name 263 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.039 on them. But there's a team of people that work 264 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.799 underneath him doing most of that lab work. But the 265 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:35.079 last one is always Alessio Ficano. That's the stamp of approval. 266 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.000 He's always careful about what he says so that he's 267 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.200 not misquoted. We think he's going to win the Nobel 268 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.400 Prize because He and his team identified the mechanism behind 269 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.960 leaky gut twenty five years ago and they've been writing 270 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.960 about it ever since. This paper he wrote himself, So 271 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.079 I wanted to give you the background as to how 272 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.119 credible this guy is. And there are not many people 273 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.000 like him in the world. This paper he wrote himself 274 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:09.200 because it's so important his messaging. All disease begins in 275 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:13.319 the leaky gut. The role of znuline, that's the protein 276 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.400 that opens up the leaky gut, The role of zoguline 277 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:21.079 in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. All disease begins 278 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.759 in the leaky god. And he explains that the two 279 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:32.720 most powerful triggers to activate leaky god are bad bacteria 280 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:40.880 called LPs. It's the armor of bad bacteria, gram negative 281 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:46.440 bacteria and gluta. Those are the two most powerful triggers. 282 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.720 Now why does he say that, Because the way toll 283 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:55.079 like receptors the century standing guard, the way that they work. 284 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.359 They're watching all the food coming down. What are they 285 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:02.480 looking at. They're looking at the protein structure of the food. 286 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:06.680 If they see something that looks like a bug, they 287 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:11.480 get at it within five minutes kill the bug. The 288 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:17.279 problem is gluten is misinterpreted as a harmful component of 289 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.519 a bug. The amino acid structure of these poorly digested 290 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.960 peptides of wheat look like the outer shell of a bug, 291 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:31.920 very very similar. And so your toll like receptors are 292 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.920 never going to lax off. They're there to protect you 293 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.319 and save your life. When they see a bug, they 294 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:45.799 get activated. So every human has this reaction in their 295 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:50.400 gut when they eat wheat, whether they feel sick or not. 296 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:57.279 All disease begins in the leaky gut. And you read 297 00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.000 Pisano's paper and you go, my god, this just makes sense. 298 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.400 This really makes sense. But that's why wheat and gluten 299 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.000 is such a problem is because the amino acid structure 300 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.720 looks just like the protective armor on a bug. 301 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.880 Wow. You know, if we know this, why isn't this 302 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:24.079 being handed down to our physicians and healthcare providers to 303 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:28.440 have people maybe pull back and reduce their intake of 304 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:30.000 gluten products in gluten. 305 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.319 It's really good question. You know. I spent twenty five 306 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.519 years in Chicago. My practice was in Chicago, and so 307 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.240 when Second City began there, so in the immortal words 308 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.880 of Roseanne Rosanna Dana, you think. 309 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:46.759 Yeah, exactly. 310 00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:49.680 I mean, really, can I just read the science. I mean, 311 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.680 it's so clear. And I've often been referred to by 312 00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:58.960 those that don't like to listen to this that I'm 313 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.359 a fanatic and I think everyone should give up wheat. No, 314 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.680 everyone should check and see if their immune system is 315 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.279 fighting wheat if you've crossed the line of tolerance. We 316 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:13.559 all get a little bit of annoying stuff in our 317 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:18.640 diet every day, and there's some tolerance to that. But 318 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.839 when you cross the line of tolerance and your immune 319 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:26.440 system starts making antibodies to wheat. And this is why 320 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.480 there are so many different conditions that people get well 321 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.599 from when they go gluten free, is because the antibodies 322 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:39.880 to wheat well what's called molecular mimicry. The antibodies are 323 00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.759 in the bloodstream looking for wheat to kill it wherever 324 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.039 they see it. And some of our tissue looks like 325 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.640 the amino acid structure of gluten. 326 00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.200 Wow. 327 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.599 So your immune system in a genetically sensitive person will 328 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:59.119 attack your thyroid. In somebody else, it'll attack your brain. 329 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.480 In somebody else, it attacks her joints. That's why you've 330 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.519 got friends when they went gluten free, they lost weight, 331 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.480 they were warmer all the time, they're thyroids working better. 332 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:12.759 When the hashimotives goes away, the antibodies go down to hashimotives. 333 00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:17.799 Or someone else with rheumatoid their pain's gone or greatly reduced. 334 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.200 Or someone's had two miscarriages, now they have a healthy 335 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.599 pregnancy and delivery. I mean, the list goes on and 336 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:25.640 on and on. 337 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:27.759 Let me just ask you real quick, Tom, are you 338 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:35.519 suggesting that as a primary detecting scenario, somebody should have 339 00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:41.960 a test, a blood test to determine if they're sensitive 340 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:42.480 to gluten? 341 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.079 Absolutely? Absolutely. If you have a health concern, you've tried 342 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.920 to be healthier and you come up against a roadblock, 343 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:53.519 you know, I call it the emergency breakes. You back 344 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:55.119 out of a driveway. 345 00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.119 And you say, what's wrong with this car? 346 00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.680 It's moving but not very well. The emergency break, and 347 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.440 let go the emergency break and you back up just fine. 348 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.079 When you're trying to be healthier and there's some emergency 349 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:10.960 breaks going on and you don't know what they are, 350 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.400 the first thing you should do is do the right test. 351 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.240 It has to be the right test to look and 352 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.880 see is my immune system fighting wheat? I have elevated 353 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:24.519 antibodies to wheat. And the test is called the wheat 354 00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:27.960 zoomer because you zoom in on the problem. It's the 355 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.359 most Now I've not been lecturing in the Far East, 356 00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:38.160 but South America, Central America, North America, Europe, India. I 357 00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.400 lecture all over the world, and I look at the 358 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.319 laboratories that have their booths set up for the doctors 359 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.839 to stop by. No one has as comprehensive or as 360 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.559 accurate as test as the wheat zoomer. And I tell 361 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.000 patients all the time, just go on my website, the 362 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.559 dr dot com, thedoctor dot com. Just go on my website, 363 00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:04.160 download the information on the wheat zoomer, take it to 364 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:08.000 your doctor and ask him to order the test. He 365 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.759 probably will say no because he has no idea what 366 00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.920 it is, because he's never heard of this before. But 367 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:17.680 more open doctors will And if he won't order, you 368 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.799 can order it on my site. 369 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:19.640 You know. 370 00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.480 But when you do the and it's a fingerprick, oh 371 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:23.759 it's not. 372 00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.519 Oh you don't need a lot of blood. You don't. 373 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.279 Now, let me give you this one. In the journal 374 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.519 gas re Entrology, very reputable journal, they published a paper 375 00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:42.119 that fifty percent of children with drug resistant epilepsy, which 376 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.240 means they've tried at least three drugs and they're not working. 377 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.079 Your child still having seizures. Fifty percent of these children 378 00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:53.480 going to complete remission on a gluten free dye. Wow, 379 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:58.319 this is like, what what? How come my neurologists didn't 380 00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:02.079 tell me this? Yeah, because neurologists do not read gastor 381 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:07.839 enturology journals. They read neurology journals. They don't know. They 382 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:08.480 just don't know. 383 00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:11.240 So you have to be an aware parent when you're 384 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:17.440 dealing with your doctor or whatever HMO program you're dealing with. 385 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.680 That's right, that's right. Yeah. 386 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.039 We're going to take a short commercial break to allow 387 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:28.359 our sponsors to identify themselves, and we will return shortly 388 00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:34.960 with my guest today, doctor Tom O'Brien discussing his latest documentary, 389 00:26:35.440 --> 00:27:21.519 The Inflammation Equation. Will be right back. My guest today 390 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.799 is doctor Tom O'Brien, who believes the American healthcare system 391 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:28.079 is broken, and he has come up with a new 392 00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:33.599 documentary called The Inflammation Equation. How inflammation is ricking havoc 393 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:40.119 with our health? Tom, give us an example or some 394 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:46.599 examples of chronic illnesses that are inflammation based and are 395 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.480 perhaps triggered from this gluten situation. 396 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:55.559 Really great question, really great question. So the Center for 397 00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:00.440 Disease Control the CDC tells us that fourteen of the 398 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:05.920 fifteen top causes of death are chronic inflammatory disease. It's 399 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:13.920 always inflammation, always, without exception, unless unintentional injuries an accident. 400 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:17.880 That's the only one of the top fifteen. It doesn't 401 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.920
