➡ The webinar host announced that there will be no webinar next week due to visitors. They also announced the upcoming launch of an online community called Cowan’s Community Corner (C3), aimed at connecting like-minded individuals both virtually and potentially in person. Membership in C3 will be included in the New Biology clinic membership. The host also mentioned an upcoming speaking engagement at the Homesteading Life Conference in Vandalia, Missouri on May 15th and 16th. Lastly, the host discussed some scientific news, including theories about time reversal and quantum vacuum decay, and a new state of matter potentially found in Uranus.
➡ People with poor metabolic function, like diabetics, often struggle with energy generation, leading to weak blood flow, especially in the legs. This can cause blood stagnation, pressure on tissues, and eventually skin ulcers. To treat this, it’s recommended to restore metabolic function through diet and fasting, increase physical movement, and use chlorine dioxide compresses. It’s also important to clean out dead tissue, either naturally or through surgical debridement.
➡ The article discusses two approaches to treating cancer: the standard method, which involves diagnosis and treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, and a metabolic approach that uses nutrition, long-term care, and repurposed drugs. The author suggests that tumors might not be a disease, but an adaptation of the body to toxins, possibly creating a second liver to help detoxify. The author questions the common practice of attributing health benefits to specific substances or chemicals, suggesting it might be a defense mechanism by doctors to appear knowledgeable. The author encourages readers to think critically about these issues.
➡ The text discusses the idea that our thoughts and intentions play a significant role in our actions and health, rather than just physical or chemical processes. It criticizes the reductionist approach in medicine, which breaks down complex systems into simpler parts, arguing that this method doesn’t fully capture how life works. The author also questions the validity of genetic testing and gene therapy, suggesting that these are based on unproven assumptions. Lastly, the text disputes the concept of contagion as a source of illness, suggesting that it should be discarded from medical history.
➡ The text discusses a product that seemed to improve a child’s hearing, but the author is unsure of its ingredients or how it works. The author also talks about the consumption of offal (animal intestines), which he personally avoids. He explains how antibiotics work and their role in the healing process, and discusses the importance of sterilizing surgical equipment and maintaining clean pool water. Finally, he mentions an upcoming event called Cowan’s Community Corner.

Okay, welcome everybody. Today’s another Wednesday webinar. Wednesday, April 29, 2026. And just a few announcements, the first of which will be there will be no webinar next Wednesday. I have some people visiting that day and so won’t be available. So they’ll pick it up again in two weeks. The second announcement, which is a big one because this has been a while in coming, is we’re very close to the inauguration of our Circle community, which we’re calling Cowan’s Community Corner. I think that’s right, Cowan’s Community Corner, otherwise known as C3. And this is basically an online attempt at Community and obviously the inauguration and the first shot at it, it will be a virtual online gathering of people who want to connect with other like minded people.

But we’re hoping that this evolves into people being able to find local groups and local people who live in their area and can turn some of these virtual friendships and virtual connections actually into real life live connections. That’s also part of the idea behind the new Biology experience. There’s a whole lot of people who’ve had some connection online and virtually and we’re trying to turn that into a actual real life, let’s meet in person and actually get to know each other type of experience. So the other information about this is being a member of the C3 community is, will be included as a part of your membership in the new Biology clinic.

And that’s no matter whether you’re a regular member or a member with a pet or just with the enrichment specialists or a family membership or individual membership. Sorry about that. All of those different memberships, you will have an automatic inclusion into the C3 community. And also just to say that this initiative really came from our members. In other words, when we’ve had all these connection calls and we hear from people and I do the question and answer on Thursday mornings. I’ve been doing that for a couple years. And first they were subscribestar and now they’re clinic members.

And there’s been so many requests for a place for people to meet, at least virtually, but then potentially in person. And so this really came out of the pretty much overwhelming request we’ve had from people because we understand that it’s often difficult to talk in the way you would like to talk and share the things you would like to share with old friends and family members. It’s not that we don’t want to have anything to do with them, it’s just that some things, it seems like it’s pretty difficult to make the connection around. And so there needs to be a place where you could just speak freely, run ideas by other people that you’re thinking about that are important to you and hear feedback from others and what others are thinking about.

So that’s really what generated this. You could even say it’s a kind of treatment for the isolation that pretty much all of us have experienced probably many times in our life, but particularly since 2020. So we’re hoping that this goes live May 1st or maybe soon after that. I’m not sure if we’re going to meet that date. So it’s Collins Community Corner C3 and you’ll watch out for that and how to join. And again, if you’re already a member of the clinic, you will be automatically included with no extra charge. And we’re hoping that this really adds some value in your life and makes things better for everybody.

The next short announcement is I will be speaking at a conference. I think it’s called the Homesteading Life Conference. It’s by put on by Doug and Stacy. They’re homesteading people who I interviewed a few months ago. This is May 15th to 16th in Vandalia, Missouri and I’m not sure I got the name right. Vandalia, Missouri, May 15th and 16th. I’m not sure what the speaker schedule is and I’m not sure I’m doing just one talk or I think a talk and a Q A or something like that. So like always, if you come and we haven’t met, please introduce yourself as I’d like to put a person and a face and a living person with some of the names that I hear in the comments and the rest of it.

So please say hello and I think that’s all the announcements for today. We had a little bit of science news that I wanted to share. So let’s hit this share and I don’t think we need any sound. So this is an article I saw. I’m not sure where it came from. What if time were reversed? Physicists show how time could flow backwards. Of course it’s on a quantum scale, whatever that means. And researchers have developed a way to flip time to move backwards in a quantum system, which I think is another word for made up or imaginary system.

This level of control could lead to bizarre real world applications. And then they say that in the real world that eggs don’t crack and milk doesn’t unspill. But in the new research has found in these quantum systems that flip flopping events as if the time was flowing backwards. So this is all of course, theoretical and only happens inside of computers. And they give you the reason why this is, is because there’s the. The world is basically random and there’s fast moving molecules. I’m reading from like the fourth paragraph. And because even though hot molecules go too cold or hot goes to cold, there’s some molecules in the hot that colder.

So there may be some slow moving molecules in the hot object and some fast moving molecules in the cold objects. This means an outside entity that they call Maxwell’s demon could theoretically herd these molecules from one to another, preferentially sorting the fast moving ones to the hot and the cold moving ones to the cold. Therefore, the hot object would get hotter and the cold object would get colder. To an observer, it would look like the usual order of things was going in reverse. Your cup of hot chocolate would suck the warmth from your hands. So as they say, this is all theoretical and of course it never happens.

And so I would say that I’m going to wait until they show me and prove to me that they cracked an egg and the egg flowed backwards and the egg uncracked. And once they see that, I will be interested in what they’re talking about. The next was sent by a friend. And this is. Scientists simulate quantum vacuum decay that could end the universe. There’s always these stories about all the 40 or 50 different reason ways that we’re all going to be wiped out in the next five to 100 years. And the physicists, it’s always the physicists successfully simulated a false vacuum decay theorized to be capable of ending the universe as we know it.

And then they go through the experiment. You can see this was in a journal called Interesting Engineering and why the Simulation Matters. And the thing that got my attention was they actually say they measured the mass of the Higgins Higgs boson, which is allegedly the smallest particle. And it’s approximately 125Giga electron volts, which I thought a volt was a measurement of a charge, not a measurement of a mass. And I wonder if they know that it wasn’t 124Giga electron volts, but never mind, because this whole thing is all make believe. And what comes next is hopefully we’ll stop doing these things.

And the final little short piece was another thing that I happened to run across, which is a bizarre new state of matter maybe hiding inside Uranus. I don’t know if I should look now, but anyways, here’s what it looks like. So if any of you find something like this in Uranus please let me know and I will be able to eat my words and say this is actually real, that they found this in Uranus. And this could also come under the category of if you believe this, you’ll believe just about anything. In fact, I think all three.

If you believe they can make time go backwards or that this, whatever it is, is going to be the end of the world, if you believe that, you’ll probably believe just about anything. Okay, enough of that sort of nonsense. So I have some interesting question questions here. I was going to say question and answer, but whether the answers are interesting, I guess, is not my call. That’s up to you guys. And I was thinking there is going, maybe going to be a theme. I sometimes notice that, that the questions and the things that I bring up often have a theme to them.

The theme is often the same, which is how do we see reality? And what is science really doing? And all that stuff. And so I think we’re going to. I had some interesting, at least to me, thoughts about this, which I. This, some of these questions I think we’ll get into. But the first one was a little more simple, which is diabetics sometimes get sores in their lower legs and feet and the person is wondering whether debridement and compresses are the best strategy for healing this. So just to say what this means is diabetics, therefore people with very poor metabolic function, in other words, they have trouble generating energy.

We think, I don’t know, we can prove it. But we generate energy from food. We eat food, breathe air, drink water, generate energy. Diabetics have trouble with that. And since this energy flow has a lot to do with blood flow, then the flow upwards in the body from the legs is weak. And so with weak flow there tends to be stagnation of the blood. In other words, it’s because the blood is a liquid, it sort of essentially will fall down in your leg. So it’s carried up by this charge. And if the charge is weak, can’t flow upwards towards the heart as it should.

So there’s a stagnation and a weak flow in the lower legs. And this probably puts pressure on the tissues. And they sometimes as a result of this pressure actually ulcerate or break through the skin. Now the next thing that you see is called by the doctors, you get an infection of the tissue. So what we always want to do is not make a story up or make a. Sometimes the story is called a diagnosis, but we want to describe exactly what we see. So we see this stagnation of the tissues. And then there’s pressure buildup in the lower legs, the dependent parts of our body.

And that then pushes its way through the skin and the tissue underneath the skin and that breaks open the skin and we call that an ulceration. And then you get a lot of dead and dying tissue in that ulceration and then the bacteria come to sort of clean up the debris. So that’s a more accurate description of what you’re seeing than using the word infection, because that means that the bacteria or the fungus are actually the cause of the trouble. But they’re not the cause of the trouble, they’re the agents that are cleaning up the debris.

Now, you can facilitate this by doing something called debridement, which is nothing else but just clearing away the dead tissue. You don’t necessarily have to let the bacteria do it. All the bacteria and things like leeches, they do a really clean, good job of cleaning up the dead and dying tissue. But you can also help it by doing surgical debridement, which is just a fancy word for cleaning out the dead and dying tissue. And so that’s not a, not necessarily needed, but not such a horrible thing. The compresses, which is a way of mechanically forcing the blood, the venous blood, up towards the heart, is not something I would do because then you put pressure on the skin and the tissues and it’s not supposed to come from the outside.

It’s supposed to come because of the generation of the charge and the forces inside the leg, inside the tubes, like the capillaries, that then create a charge which moves the blood up, up the, the body back towards the heart. So I wouldn’t use the compresses. Instead I would start doing a, this is a metabolic restoration kind of calling out for that. So a lot of times you can use some kind of fasting, either eating once a day or a raw milk diet or even a water fast. And I would have somebody who, who’s super, who’s experience with treating diabetics with metabolic restoration help you with this.

This is something we can do at the clinic. The other thing I would do is more movement. Even if, and if you’re bed bound, you can just move your, your foot up and down in the bed and push it against the end of the bed maybe 10 times and then 50 times and then 100 times. So you’ve got to get some motion to clear out this stagnation in your leg. If you’re mobile, you should start walking and doing the sort of primal movement Exercises that Pat uses. And there’s many other kinds of movements which help with the sort of spiral flow upwards in the leg.

So that’s the next thing that everybody needs to do. So we need metabolic restoration, which is a very careful diet and sometimes some sort of fasting and we need some movement. And then the next thing I would do is compresses an oral with chlorine dioxide, which helps to bring back some sort of a charge and help to clear out the dead and dying tissue. And we’ve had a number of patients in the. Our people members in the clinic who’ve had this situation. And those were the three mainstays that have been used. A combination of diet, metabolic restoration, which is essentially helping your body turn fuel into.

Into energy. And then movement, same thing helps turn, helps create some energy. And then chlorine dioxide compresses and orally to help stimulate charge. And that should be enough to help clear out the diabetic leg ulcers. There’s of course, other herbs and other treatments that can be used for diabetes, such as gymnema. And bitter melon is another one. Two herbs that I’ve often used for treating diabetics. But the main thing is the diet and the movement. And if there’s actually ulceration, the chlorine dioxide. Okay, the next one is sort of two questions and then it even gets into the third question.

So I’ll just read all three questions and that this is, I think, going to be the theme of this webinar today. And the question was, what do I make of the MTHFR mutation? Is this a real thing? Should everybody be tested for this? If they find it with a test, should they actually do the treatment protocol, which is usually a combination of specific B vitamins that is usually suggested. And the other question that has something to do with this is, is there really a cancer cell in arc? Is cancer a growing of these cells, or is there some other way to think about this? And the third question, which I think was on the same line, is what about these lesions on the skin which are called skin cancer? Do we need to have them lasered off or treated surgically, or is there some other way to think about this? And is there some other way to deal with this? Okay, so let me try to group those together and come out with something that’s maybe useful.

And I’m going to put this in context because this week I was actually sent questions about two different talks or maybe articles or something that were recently published. And this is interestingly, something you’re hearing more and more about I think Thomas Seyfried who wrote about the metabolic approach to cancer some years ago and I wrote something that’s similar to this maybe six or seven years ago and it’s kind of snowballed since. And now you see a lot of the people who, doctors who used to be conventional doctors who are now in the health freedom movement who are picking up on this theme and giving it their own spin.

So here’s two of the ones that I’ve recently have been shared with me. So let me get this. So the first one is by a guy named Paul Merrick. I don’t know much about him, but I think he’s sort of a member of the health freedom movement and he wrote something about oncologists. It’s time to wake up. Cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic disease. And I’ve talked about this many times. The current and this is why it’s connected with the MTHFR question is cancer a genetic disease? That’s the usual way that we talk about it.

This started with the oncogene theory in 1972ish when Nixon announced the war on cancer. He said the reason why we’re going to get rid of cancer in I think it was 10 years or maybe 20, is because we now know what the cause is. The cause is we’ve got all this, these genes which are segments of DNA and somehow a mistake happens and that’s called a mutation. And the mutation puts out a different product and that product either stimulates the growth of these cells or inhibits the break that leads the cells to grow faster and that’s what we call a tumor.

And then they keep growing because the mutation kind of runs wild. And then they metastasize meaning they spread to other places. And that explains everything you need to know about cancer. That’s basically the oncogene theory in a nutshell. And this, the reason why it’s connected is because there’s a whole lot to the MTHFR story is there’s a whole lot of assumptions in that story that I just said. The oncogene story, the primary one is we have the same this chemical called DNA which has been found and isolated which is actually not the case and that it has very specific segments on it called genes.

And these genes have been shown in a one way street called the genetic dogma to code for proteins which do everything. They are basically the living structure, the structures of living tissues. So the genes code for mRNA which then that’s called transcription and that goes to the imaginary ribosomes and gets translated into proteins. And that’s how everything works. And if you get a error in the gene, you obviously get an error in the protein and that causes excessive growth. So he outlines the standard of care, which is diagnosis. You do a diagnosis and then you got this growing tumor.

So you kill it with chemotherapy or you take it out or you poison it with radiation. And then you watch the people from then on in the metabolic approach, which is he’s advocating, you use nutrition and support and tolerance and long term care. And then you give all these kind of synthetic substances like synthetic vitamin D and omega 3 fatty acids which you claim to isolate from fish oil. And then a whole lot of repurposed metabolic drugs like ivermectin and metformin and febendazole, I think you say. So the drug companies love this stuff. They love this kind of approach because they get to repurpose and resell their old pharmaceutical drugs which have gone out of favor.

And that’s how you treat it. And the real thing I wanted to say is so then you go through, well, how does this all work? And then he puts this chart of how this all happens and, and this all allegedly happens in the mitochondria. So you have the upregulation of the glut 1, 3 and that increases the uptake. And then you go to this enzyme and then this enzyme and there’s this protein and that interacts with this stuff and this stuff and this enzyme and these are all the different things that allegedly have been isolated. And then you get this oxidative phosphorylation which is reduced.

And then you get an acidic micro environment and immune suppression. And we’ve actually worked all this out and we’ve identified all these chemicals. We figured out that they’re all part of these little squiggly lines called mitochondria. And then we know that if you use metformin you interface with this one or this one and ivermectin with this one. And I’m just making this up. And so at the end of the day, you end up helping the person with cancer. So what I wanted to present and this came to me last night because it, it also has to do with the MTHFR story is that in a funny sort of way.

And I’m. I’m going to stop the share here be because just let me show this one thing in case anybody wants to look into this a little bit more. Apparently this guy, Patrick Kohl’s I’m not sure who he is. He talks about this on this terrain theory podcast, episode 209. So if anybody wants to look at that. And he talks about, and I’m going to get rid of this, he talks about something that I’ve talked about before, which is that interesting, when you look at tumors, they often, often have very similar proteins and enzymes as are found in your liver.

And so I’ve talked a lot about how these tumors are just. You throw garbage in your house, you put it in bags, throw garbage in your body and you put it in a bag and that’s called a tumor. And so he’s taken this to supposedly another level and saying, well, if you look in your liver, you got all these enzymes and all this biochemistry going on. And if you look at the tumor, it has the identical proteins and enzymes in biochemistry. So actually maybe you’re making a new liver. And so this isn’t a disease at all.

This is a poisoned person, poisoned by thoughts, feelings, emotions, glyphosate vaccines, pharmaceutical drugs, including repurposed metabolic therapy drugs, and many other poisons in our environment, you know, pesticides, etc. I probably said that. And so it’s not a disease. It’s basically an adaptation that your body is making to create a second liver and that will help you detoxify. But I don’t know if this is a new thought I had last night. I think it was new for me. And it’s not something I’ve necessarily heard a lot of people discussing. If you think it, what’s at the root of all this way of thinking and all these charts and all this.

So I need to find out if my trouble. So I have, I. I have a child who doesn’t act right and somebody calls them autistic. So their trouble is they have a mutation in a gene. Never mind that we can’t actually define a gene. Never mind that we can’t prove that the gene actually codes for a specific protein. Never mind all those things. Anyways, you got a mutation in a gene and that leads you to not detoxify. Well, and if you give the person B vitamins, they get better. And that’s what they’re saying, and that’s what they’re allegedly seeing.

So the point I want to make, and this gets into then, so what is happening with this metabolic theory? You got all these enzymes that are supposedly in your mitochondria. Even though I would love to see somebody who’s actually isolated a mitochondria, took out those Squiggly lines proved that all they had here was a bottle or a vial of mitochondria and showed that all these enzymes are, were found in there. And they’re found exactly as you find them in your test tube. They’re found exactly like that in your, in your living tissue. And that they all have this sequential pathway and they’re all affected by these different pharmaceutical drugs or vitamin D or something in your living tissue.

And I can 100% guarantee that, that nothing like that has ever been done. This is obviously just laboratory findings which I would say have no relevance to what happens in an actual person. Now that doesn’t mean, and I did not say that giving people B vitamins or ivermectin or beta blockers or metformin doesn’t have an effect and may not even have a temporary, seemingly beneficial effect. Although if your liver is, if your tumor is actually a second liver and the effect of ivermectin is to get rid of the tumor, maybe all you did was get rid of your second liver, your body, your sec.

Your liver, your second liver that your body created. And now you’re in a more vulnerable situation, particularly now because you have added another toxic pharmaceutical drug. But again, and I keep skirting around this, the thing I really want to pose is a question and I want people to really think about this because I’m really considering it. And I can’t say I know this is true, or at least I don’t know that it’s true all the time. But it seems like whenever we’re confronted with a question like what happened? How does this happen? Or why is pomegranates good for you? Or why does hibiscus help with venous stasis or anything? The, the, the knee jerk first response is always to look for a substance or a chemical found in whatever it is we’re talking about.

Why does eating fish help? Because it’s got omega 3 fatty acids. Why does the metabolic approach to cancer work? Because you have a down regulated glucose, 6 phosphorus and the enzyme that catalyzes that has been mutated and, and so that’s why it’s over expressing itself and creating a acidic micro environment, blah, blah, blah. Now the first effect of that and all doctors do that and I, I did it and I probably still do it sometimes. And I recognize that the reason I do it is, are basically two. One is because I don’t really know what, what, how this all works.

And two, it’s a kind of defense mechanism that makes me seem or feel or maybe a better word is pretend, that I have some secret knowledge because I’m a doctor and because I studied for 40 years and you didn’t do that. So I have a secret knowledge that you don’t have. I know about these enzymes and I know about these mutations, and I know about that there’s this specific mutation and I even read a study about it. And you peon, you don’t know anything about this. And so you need to come to me so I can manage your situation.

I think at the end of the day, that’s a big part of why we do it. But then I thought, and this is, I think, the first time that it hit me last night in bed when I was pondering what to say about this. My guess is when I thought about myself and how I live my life, that in normal situations I don’t think in a materialistic, reductionistic way about why things happen to me, how it happens or why I do things. So I thought of an example. If I say, why do I go for a walk? As far as I remember, I never thought it’s because I have this knee and my knee wants to have the experience of flexing and extending 400 times today.

And so that’s why I’m going to walk up this mountain, or because my mitochondria are stimulated when I do some vigorous exercise. And so if I walk up this hill, the mitochondria get stimulated to produce more something. And then I. That’s why I’m walking up this hill as far as I can see whether no matter what we do, even if I say in this mysterious way, so I’m going to move my finger, it doesn’t, it doesn’t come because my finger decides to. There’s actin and myosin and they’re going to have a sliding filament and they’re going to contract and the distance between the Z bands is going to shorten.

And that’s going to make my finger go like this. It starts with an idea in my mind, without the idea, it seems to never contract. So I have an idea and then immediately it contracts. So contract finger. And then before you even get the words out. And it seems like we don’t actually think about our life in this reductionist breaking things apart, finding out what chemicals are doing things sort of way, because we have a sense that that’s not how it works. That’s not how the world works. The world works somehow. And I don’t pretend at all to know how this happens or the mechanism I think this be a like is way beyond my pay grade to understand this, but somehow there’s a mind, which I’m just saying is a sort of mental connection that thinks about certain things or has an idea.

And in some incredibly mysterious way this gets translated into action and that becomes life. And we’ve twisted this whole thing around when we talk about mthfrs and cancer and disease and why we eat certain things and all this, and immediately it’s how much gluten does it have and what about the oxidative stress level and does it cause inflammation? So immediately we break things down. And I think what happens is you lose the person. And because the person is where these questions actually arise, these questions are actually sorted out and this is where the sort of causative element actually interfaces with life.

Because without the thought there’s no movement of your finger and you would never go for a walk and you would never talk to that attractive person over there, or you would never go out of your way to eat this food instead of that food. And we think of all these things, all the things that are meaningful to our life. We think in a very, we see it in a very holistic way. And yet somehow when it comes to health and science and medicine, we decide the first step is to break it down into its parts. And somehow these parts will somehow tell us how the world works.

And you can see this, how absurd it has come become in physics because they break it down into things that are, you know, 10 to the minus 40th size of fenta, electro, voltage, whatever, that nobody has any actual conception of what that is or how big that is or how to measure that thing. And we come out with these goofy things like there’s, you know, these bizarre life forms on Uranus. Haha, you know, get the joke. And that time flows backwards, right? Show me the egg going back into the, into the shell and the shell reforming.

None of these things actually work in the framework that we live our life in. And I would submit that the problem, the fundamental problem with medicine is we’re trying to do medicine in a framework that’s completely divorced from how life actually happens. Life happens in the mental realm, in your mind, in your emotions, how this feels to you, how it seems to you, your reaction to what happens and fundamentally your intention. And without that, there’s basically nothing. And because science and medicine doesn’t know how to approach that, they don’t know what to make of that. And that would mean getting off their sort of high horse and not being able to bamboozle you with, as W.C.

fields say, if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. And so all these things, all these enzyme pathways, MTHFR pathways are basically stories that fundamentally are unproven, full of assumptions which are unrecognized by, even by the people who espouse them. And so at the end of the day, I would never do that mutation test. I would never do anything based on that or any other so called genetic test. The thing is all molecular tomfoolery as far as I can see, because that’s not the level that life works on. And as far as skin lesions, I think that’s just your body’s way of.

So we got too much of this stuff, so let’s put it out on the skin where it’s basically harmless. And there’s no way that I would have those removed unless they were so painful or in such a horrible place that I couldn’t live like that. I, I would just thank my body for getting. Packaging up some debris and putting it in a place to remind me that I need to rethink how I’m doing my life. All right. I don’t know if I should stop there, but I have a few other things. Is one other thing one.

Next question. Was contagion ever real? And again I’ve talked about this many times. There is no study that I know or Daniel Reutes knows or any of us who look into this where you would say actually a scientific study where the independent variable was sick person or sick animal made well animals or well people sick that they were able to do that. And in fact every time they’ve tried it was negative. That does not mean that people or animals or people and animals don’t influence each other. They certainly do. You can laugh and that makes people laugh or yawn and makes people yawn.

Girls can menstruate and synchronize their menses. We are always communicating things and some things actually turn into what you might call physical reality or physical symptoms. But that’s not a contagious disease. That’s just life living and playing and communicating and sharing. And nobody was killed by that method. So we should all basically put the whole phenomena of contagion into the dustbin of history as a source of illness that’s relevant in our, in our. Into human beings or animals. Next question. And a few people have sent me this. There was this story about the regeneration of a deaf 2 year old boy who was, had some sort of quote, genetic mutation and they Gave him a gene therapy, and that amazingly, restored his hearing.

And so how did this happen if the genes are not the fundamental foundational elements of life? And this is an example of what I say. You never want to read the story or hear the story or the discussion or the introduction or the abstract of any paper or any report like this. The only thing any of us should pay attention to is actually, what did they do? So they have a story that they took this, they made a. A gene, or somehow made a product that would heal or alter or give a new gene, which would then be translated, transcribed, and translated into a new protein, which would give a new product for the patient person’s body and that they would be able to hear.

But that’s the story. And the trouble I had when I looked into this is because I think it was proprietary information. What did they actually do? So, in other words, the way you want to think is somebody went into some sort of laboratory, I would imagine. And so the laboratory had all these stuff in it and chemicals and maybe cell cultures and tissue grafts and who knows what else stuff. And. And they put something in somewhere like a petri dish or a test tube or an autoclave or growing bacterial culture. They did something. People have to do something.

And then they put other stuff in there. And they say they put nucleotides. So you don’t want to know nucleotides, because that’s a story. And nobody has ever actually seen or purified a nucleotide, which is the component of the DNA from a living tissue. So you want to know where. What did they do to get that chemical? Well, they took something and they mixed. They added sulfur, and they got what they call sulfuric acid and has a certain pH, and it burns a hole in your clothes. So that’s sulfuric acid. So they added that and some beef broth, which has a whole lot of things in it.

Again, we’re now getting into reductionistic stuff, but we don’t want to think like that. What did you have? I put some beef broth and some nucleotides, in other words, chemicals, into a culture of E. Coli, and I let it grow for two days, and then I centrifuged it, and I took the liquid part of it, and then I gave that to the person, and then their hearing got better. My point is, at no point in that story did you actually demonstrate that you were doing anything called gene therapy. Now they have a story that they’re doing gene therapy because they say they put these nucleotides, which make up the genes and, and they maybe mixed it with some plasmids, which is sort of like viral elements, which are not at all what they say they are.

And the plasmids somehow knew to integrate that into the genome of the E. Coli. But actually they don’t see anything integrating into any genome. They just see these chemicals and this cell culture mixed with a group of E. Coli, a growing bacteria. And at the end of the day you get a product and you give that product to somebody and you have an effect. And the rest of it is a story. And I’m not sure what they put in that product, but somehow, at least in this one case, it seemed to help the child hear better.

And I don’t know what the chemical they gave them. And that’s the trouble with. How do I explain what happened? First of all, the only thing I can say is from everything I’ve seen and read from these kind of things, there is no evidence that they had anything to do with genes or gene manipulation. They’re just mixing stuff up and harvesting stuff from the mixtures, giving that to people and, and then making up a story to explain what happened. The story is irrelevant. And again, I’m not saying chemicals don’t have an effect and they may even have a positive effect, although I would certainly be cautious about that.

So again, don’t listen to the explanation. Just find out what they did. That’s the magic secret of this. The next person is Is it good to eat Awful? It’s O f f a L, which I think is the intestines. And I, the people in Swaziland where I used to live for a few years, they definitely ate awful and it didn’t seem to do anything to them. I tend to listen. My main source of medical information these days is Dr. Pumpkin and, and his assistant Professor Fluffy. Sometimes PJ gets in there too, and they do not eat the awful.

The intestines of mice. Every once in a while they do, but mostly they don’t. And so I think that’s good enough for me. And so I, I don’t eat Awful. I’m sure it’s probably not so bad, but there’s something about it that doesn’t sort of sit right. But I absolutely could be wrong. How do antibiotics work and should be sterilized surgical equipments. And what about chlorinating your pool? Antibiotics have many effects, not just killing bacteria, but as I, as I’ve said many times, bacteria are part of the regeneration process. And so you get dead and dying tissue and the Bacteria come to live and they bio remediate the situation.

When you kill them with antibiotics, you stop this healing process. You seem to be better, but then the whole thing has to happen all over again, which is exactly what you see. Interestingly, I’m not sure if they should sterilize. You don’t want to necessarily have all kinds of dirt and stuff being put into your abdomen during a surgical procedure. But there were studies around in Coley’s day, when they started with Coley’s toxins that showed that cancer patients who got post operative pneumonia after their cancer surgery had better outcomes than the surgical patients who didn’t have surgery.

I’m not necessarily advocating that, but that was a way of saying with all the dead and dying tissue that comes from a surgical procedure, you’re going to have to have some bacteria to clean up that mess. And they stopped it with all the sterilization and antibiotics to the detriment of the people. As far as pools, you know you can, if you have stagnant water and you have all kinds of algae and fungus and bacteria growing, that’s obviously going to make an inhospitable environment to swim or bathe in. And it’s going to clog up your machinery and your tools.

So that’s not a very good idea. And so there’s ways of doing that with ozone and other types of chemicals that are probably safer than chlorine. And I think that’s it for today. And again, there will be no webinar next week. And I hope to see you all in two weeks. And everybody watch out for the inauguration of Cowan’s Community Corner should be coming up this week. So thanks for listening and have a great few weeks.
