About this episode

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurosurgeon and author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, details the systemic corruption within the food and pharmaceutical industries. The World Health Organization recently admitted that aspartame is potentially carcinogenic, a fact Blaylock has warned about since Donald Rumsfeld and G.D. Searle maneuvered the sweetener through FDA approval in the 1980s. This chemical breakdown into formaldehyde causes cumulative brain damage and DNA destruction that the medical establishment continues to ignore.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) production has doubled every decade since the 1940s, fueled by deceptive labeling under names like natural flavors, autolyzed yeast, and carrageenan. Research by neuroscientist John Olney and the Ramazzini Institute confirms that these excitotoxins act as cancer fertilizers and destroy the hypothalamus, leading to the modern childhood obesity epidemic. Beyond food, Blaylock critiques the Gardasil HPV vaccine for its high aluminum content and characterizes the COVID-19 spike protein as a bioweapon. He cites the success of Dr. Zelenko with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as proof that mainstream hospital protocols were financially incentivized to increase mortality rates.

Greg Carlwood shares a harrowing personal update regarding the traumatic home birth of his son, Roman, which resulted in a hospital conflict over blood transfusions and eclampsia recovery. Blaylock offers a path forward through neuroprotective supplements like curcumin, R-lipoic acid, and quercetin to reverse the effects of environmental toxins and geoengineering. This deep dive into the Blaylock Health Report challenges the cognitive dissonance of those who still trust corporate-funded medical orthodoxy.


CHAPTER 01 / 25 Discussion

Processed Food Industry, Dr. Russell Blaylock Introduction

Host Greg Carlwood introduces Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurosurgeon and author of "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills." The discussion opens with the World Health Organization's recent admission that aspartame may be carcinogenic. Dr. Blaylock reflects on his long career as a critic of the food industry and the corporate efforts to silence research on artificial sweeteners.

00:13 The planet's puppet masters almost surely have a plan There clearly may be something there beyond the realm of man Until we've thoroughly tested every last closed chested view Find the more you think, you know unless you really do Eee without THC We know they're lying to us just don't know what degree Eee without T- I said check sure Here we go, Hireside Chatters. From the Sunshine State I'm Greg Carlwood and though there is some stiff competition when it comes to the question of what truly is America's biggest problem? I think there's a good case to be made that the processed food industry takes the cake

01:16 Not only has its dominance eroded the market share of healthy, natural organic local whole food alternatives to the point that they're hard to even find but our dependence on it has whittled away our knowledge of how to even provide a small amount of food for ourselves setting us back even more. And one could even argue it plays a role in the aggressiveness of the modern American work schedule, because it's not uncommon to wake up tired to an energy drink, trudge through a drive-thru for an inadequate 30–60 minute lunch break, snack on boxed and bagged chips & crackers throughout the day, and order dinner in after nine unfulfilling hours of low wage work with a little traffic cherry on top.

01:55 The demands on us create the conditions for the mental gymnastics we do to justify what is an addiction to finely tuned frankenfood that is making us sick, fat over dependent and unable to use our brains properly. And few people know more about processed food and the brain than today's guest Dr Russell Blaylock a now retired lifelong neurosurgeon who has been studying and working in this space most of his long career He's not only been a co-author on over a dozen scientific papers and contributed to medical textbooks, but he has written seven books of his own. Including titles like Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients Health & Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life Dr Blaylock's Prescriptions for Natural Health 70 Remedies For Common Conditions

02:40 The Liver Cure, natural solutions for liver health to target symptoms of fatty liver disease autoimmune diseases diabetes inflammation stress and fatigue skin conditions and many more. And the one that really made an impact on me Excitotoxins The Taste That Kills published way back in 1996 He knows a lot about a lot, so let's get into it. The do-good doctor, excitotoxin educator and corporate food science truth teller Dr. Blaylock welcome to the higher side! Oh thank you for inviting me I appreciate it Of course. This sort of came about in a roundabout way where I heard you on the high wire with Dell BigTree and I learned a lot about your career and just how long you've been a critic of the processed food industry, and the high-wire interview itself was a result of a big bit of news that came out in July where the World Health Organization committee came out and said hey aspartame should maybe be categorized as possibly carcinogenic

CHAPTER 02 / 25 Discussion

Aspartame Toxicity, Formaldehyde and Cumulative Brain Damage

Dr. Blaylock details the toxic breakdown of aspartame into formaldehyde and excitotoxins, which damage DNA and brain cells. He references the Bressler study to argue that the FDA approval process for NutraSweet was fraudulent and ignored animal tumors. The conversation emphasizes that the damage from diet sodas is cumulative, affecting the liver and immune system over long periods.

aspartame· nutrasweet· formaldehyde· bressler study· brain cancer· dna damage

03:39 Which is a pretty mild admission and the FDA of course responded and said no you're wrong The study was faulty which is to be expected But was it at least a little satisfying to see this news? And warning come from the World Health Organization after speaking out on this stuff for so long Well as corrupt as the World Health Organization. Yes, it is pretty It's amazing that they would even say anything. And of course, the companies that make NutraSweet and these Aspartame products have enormous amounts of money and they've had enormous power. Any critics they try to destroy – I told that on The Dale Bigtree Program about how they tried to silence an interview I was doing on Aspartame

04:25 But there's been a couple of studies like the Bressler study, which carefully analyzed the approval process. And what it found was that just like this COVID-19 process of safety approval, it was sheer nonsense. It was concocted and the study showed that they actually had tumors in animals and they cut them out and threw away and said the animal had no cancer Well, no. They're in the waste can and they found in a previous study that there was a dramatic increase in brain cancer. What I've noticed is a tremendous increase in pancreatic cancer with people who use nutritious wheat. There's many reasons why it's toxic if we look at it. It breaks down into excitotoxins. It breaks down into formaldehyde which produces protein add-ups particularly destroys the DNA

05:23 and immune cells, and brain cells, and liver cells. So we see that its components are extremely toxic. And as I've always told people that it's a cumulative so you say well i only drank one or two cans of sweetened cola a day. It's cumulative! You do that for a week...you've accumulated a lot of damage if you do that for months tremendous amount of damage. What people see even in grocery stores Little toddlers, a year old. The mother was giving them a sip of drink out of a Diet Cola tray and they're starting these kids on these Diet Colas because there's obesity problems supposedly in children and again that's processed food. They were never obese in our class when I grew up in the 50s you may have one obese child or two most were slender

CHAPTER 03 / 25 Discussion

MSG and Hypothalamus Damage, Laboratory Mouse Obesity Studies

The discussion shifts to Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and its role in the modern obesity epidemic. Dr. Blaylock cites neuroscientist John Olney’s research, which demonstrated that MSG destroys the part of the hypothalamus responsible for weight control in mice. This damage makes it biologically difficult for children exposed to MSG to lose weight, as the chemical also triggers high levels of free radicals in the liver.

msg· monosodium glutamate· john olney· hypothalamus· obesity· free radicals

06:22 and they ate lots of sweets, they exercised. You know we would always run around doing things but the difference was they started interjecting MSG in food and that produces obesity! And we knew that from laboratory studies of mice that if you fed the mice MSG by the time they reach adolescence they were enormously obese. Just about at that time we started seeing kids now the Germans did this study and they found out indeed that if you feed these kids MSG, they become obese just like the mice. I talked to John Olney who was a neuroscientist researcher who discovered excitotoxicity and he told me the story how he discovered it. He said we were feeding these mice MSG and i didn't even really notice when my lab assistant said

07:16 Dr. Olney, have you noticed that all the mice are growing up grossly obese? And he sent me a picture of it—I have a picture in the book—and he worked out what it does! It destroys part of the hypothalamus that controls your weight so it's easy for these kids that were raised on MSG to get obese and it's very difficult to get rid of them so they can exercise, go outside. It's much more difficult for them to get rid of that excess weight than anyone else. We found that if you eat food with MSG it goes directly to the liver and there is a high increase in free radical generation in the liver destruction of the liver cells and it lasts for a year from a single dose. Some studies found even lasted longer

CHAPTER 04 / 25 Discussion

Soy Consumption, Brain Atrophy and Hormonal Effects

Dr. Blaylock critiques the widespread use of soy, claiming it causes rapid brain atrophy and feminizes male animals. He suggests that processed foods are being used to engineer changes in human sexual behavior and health. Additionally, he warns that soy-based infant formulas expose babies to high levels of glutamate, potentially altering brain formation during critical developmental stages.

soy· glutamate· brain atrophy· feminization· transgender· infant formula

08:07 So, we have all this adulterated processed food that has disguised forms of MSG in it. It no longer says MSG, it's got a disguise name and then we had this soy outbreak everybody was insane over soy because it was going to prevent breast cancer well actually if you have breast cancer and eat soy makes it grow faster And we found out from a Hawaiian study that if you eat soy for lifetime get atrophy of the brain very quickly, within decades. So there's many downsides of the soy. It was feminizing the males. You take animals and you feed them soy it feminizes them – they behave as female! So this transgender stuff is being engineered. And so there are so many facts like this that come along that show that processed food is changing people

09:05 It's changing their sexual behavior, it's changing their obesity is changing their health. It's producing high levels of free radicals that are constant as lowering antioxidant enzyme is damaging the brain and alters the formation of the brain so these little babies are fed formula before they had a congressional hearing on it that had MSG in it and then it was affecting the formation or their brain because we know that glutamate plays any important part in brain formation It's a rise and fall of glutamate. Well, if you're feeding a baby your formula of soy they have a constant or very high level of glutamate and it makes them abnormal brain. All this is known! And so this book that you referred to excitotoxin which I updated somewhat showed a lot of these things that people just don't know about there were scientific evidence There's a lot more now...I've always threatened write another book on it to update it

CHAPTER 06 / 25 Discussion

History of MSG, Food Additives and Cancer Growth

The history of MSG is traced back to a German researcher isolating glutamate from seaweed to mask the metallic taste of canned foods. Dr. Blaylock explains that most tumors have glutamate receptors, meaning processed foods act as a "cancer fertilizer" that accelerates the spread of the disease. He also references research by Dr. Schmitz suggesting that GMO foods cause sterility and organ failure in animals.

msg· seaweed· gmo food· cancer fertilizer· glutamate receptors· dr. schmitz

13:24 Talk to us about this class of food additives and the interesting history of how they became so ubiquitous in the American food supply. It goes all the way back to seaweed, if I understand correctly? Yeah it started by a German researcher who discovered seaweed had high glutamate level. He isolated it and concentrated made monosodium glutamate which is... The glutamates are dangerous thing not the sodium And so you have a monosodium compound that they added to food to make it taste better. They had a real problem that if you put stuff in tin cans, it tastes like tin. So you would put MSG in it and then it tastes delicious! If you've ever eaten MSG soup compared to regular soup, it's just absolutely delicious and unfortunately most people are driven by taste. They say well yeah I may be harmful but it tastes good

14:18 And I said, well you're destroying your brain. You're destroying your health and we find effects on the liver on the heart on many organs on the lymphatic system on immunity not just the brain alone and on probiotics in that colon so the effects are enormous and widespread all over the body for a lifetime I mean, like you said if you eat clean food that's not GMO. If you eat organic food and wash it even washed out organic food and you get it clean, and you eat it. You make yourself from scratch. It's good and healthy! And it doesn't have these dangerous products in them. What we find is the processors are always looking for something else to add that food. I told people...I said look at the label of processed foods. It looks like a chemistry set. Half the things on there I can't pronounce. We found they just make up names. They're not real chemical names. They just made this name up

15:19 But research has shown that these are either excitotoxins or they're carcinogenic, they cause cancer. Or they cause brain degeneration and it causes obesity and it causes cells to not function properly And that's your GMO food You know there was a study on GMO food which is by Dr. Schmitz who was real expert on this area He sent me his new book The new book shows that They did research on animals and showed the male animal died at mid-age from liver and heart problems, and that the females died of these gigantic breast cancers. So it's a killer food! This GMO food is a killer food now you feed it to animals they become sterile. And the farmer said if you feed grains that are GMO to a cow they don't reproduce. You stop it and they'll start reproducing

CHAPTER 07 / 25 Discussion

COVID-19 Origins, Bioweapon Claims and Hospital Protocol Criticism

Dr. Blaylock characterizes the COVID-19 virus and vaccine as purposeful bioweapons, citing patent research by Dr. David Martin. He criticizes the medical establishment for suppressing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in favor of "killing centers" that used ventilators and dangerous drugs. He alleges that hospitals were financially incentivized to follow protocols that increased patient mortality.

bioweapon· dr. david martin· ivermectin· remdesivir· ventilators· petersen

16:11 Well, that's population control. Exactly what this COVID-19 vaccine is is the population control. Oh he's saying it! He's going there! Yeah I mean it's so obvious now you've got your head in the sand if you don't see it as scientists are finding it worldwide experts and virology experts and cell function molecular biology they're all coming to the same conclusion this vaccine was the bioweapon Not the virus, not the so-called virus. It was the vaccine with a bioweapon and now they're finding all kinds of things in the so called vaccine that has nothing to do with this release virus

16:54 Yeah, I mean it's interesting that you bring up the vaccine and COVID and use the term bioweapon because there are a lot of people using the term lab leak which as a term kind of suggests that it was accidental. But bio weapon is a much stronger term that suggests this was all quite purposeful which seems like it was based on previous gaming out of situations just like what happened Well, you look at the patents. You can't lie on a patent. Patents were in 2004. They were long before this outbreak. So Dr. Martin is an expert in patents and he knows molecular biology pretty well. And what he's shown is that they had patented these things. These people—Dr. Merrick in North Carolina—had patented the process of converting this virus into a bioweapon, and he gave it to China

17:52 they produced a type of mouse that had human lungs to test if it would infect humans. It didn't come from a bat, it didn't come from a food center in China – that's nonsense! And he didn't leak from the lab – it was purposely released. I told a friend of mine, have you ever seen a pandemic spread so fast to so many countries where there are no tourists? I mean, we have little countries. There's no tourists and suddenly there's an outbreak of a virus? Well where did it come from?" And we found out the only people who went to that country were Chinese. They knew that the virus itself was pretty benign so they took young people, they infected them and sent them all over the world. You look at Italy—they had thousands of Chinese go to Italy just before the outbreak! They were young, so to them it was like a cold. To people in their elderly age

18:47 They got sick and they put them in the hospital, and the hospital killed them. They forced them to take drugs that we knew caused organ damage. They put them on respirators at some places killed 90% of people that were put on a respirator. Why were there on respiratory? Because you gave him a drug that interfered with their breathing. And then we found out that ivermectin and chloroquine completely cured this disease. You could do it at home and a principle of infectious disease was totally violated The principle is you always treat infections early. You don't let them overwhelm the body and then start treating them well for the first time in the history of medicine they told everybody stay at home get real sick, then call an ambulance come to this killing center and we'll get a lot of money to give you a drug that kills people and will put you on a respirator that kills people And any doctor who refuses to put you on a respirator will take away his license and throw him out of the hospital

19:50 And that happened. That's the article I wrote that went all over the world, and I got thousands of responses from it even from hospital administrators who had quit said you're exactly right to everything you put in that article is exactly right they were paying extra money if they put patients on a respirator they were paid extra money if they put them in ICU hundreds of thousands of dollars And as I put in the article, what they did is bankrupt the hospitals and put them in deep trouble. They were going to have to close their doors and then he told them you can pay all these bills off just get all of these people on a respirator and give this medication and later we'll give it a shot. If you do, we will pay hundreds or thousands per patient and you'll pay your bills. So they did it!

CHAPTER 08 / 25 Discussion

Ivermectin Access, Veterinary Medicine and Dr. Zelenko

The conversation addresses the difficulty of obtaining ivermectin during the pandemic despite its efficacy. Dr. Blaylock notes that many people turned to veterinary-grade ivermectin because pharmacies like Walgreens refused to fill human prescriptions. He praises the work of Dr. Zelenko, who successfully treated thousands of patients with a combination of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

ivermectin· dr. zelenko· hydroxychloroquine· walgreens· parasites· horse paste

20:40 Yeah it was a sick system and i do recall all of those footnotes but the way you tied all together, I mean just makes so much sense is just so logical and obviously want to get back to excited toxins but also did wanna throw this in cuz there's a lot of talk about what is the next pandemic bill gates is saying things. There was a trend other day for disease x we don't know what its gonna be better be prepared well Given that ivermectin was so useful in this situation and seems to be useful in a lot of situations, there are people who tried to get it couldn't get it. Even if a doctor prescribed it, a pharmacist might not give it to them because of the way they were propagandized is their own easy method that you would suggest that people get Ivermectin or hydrochloric when to have it on hand in case something else happens and they need it in their medicine cabinet at home?

21:34 Well, the best thing I know people use is stuff to shoot in veterinary medicine. They have ivermectin for horses and such." Well, I said you've got a million-dollar horse you're not going to give them on contaminated drugs? That's it that ever mactan is pretty pure and so I know a lot of people who took what we call horse face they knew it saved people as I wrote in my article the government particularly emptied the pharmacies of ivermectin to hide it and then told the pharmacy for the first time in history, that has never happened in history where prescriptions were refused not only in hospitals but in private pharmacies. Walgreens would not fill Ivermectin even for a parasitic infection. Doctors were arguing with them this isn't for COVID this is for a parasitic infection which it's for they wouldn't feel it so these people were getting money or even getting paid

22:36 They knew that it saved hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Most of the countries that saved people, it wasn't in a prescription you could just go to any pharmacy store and get it off the shelf and it was saving almost all the patients. Almost none of them were going to hospital Dr. Zelenko he treated more COVID patients than anyone He gave them ivermectin and chloroform Almost none of them died and almost no one went to a hospital. Yeah, I mean these are the things that i've heard from other guests as well it just seems like so many people whose voices were pushed outside of the mainstream all Are saying the same thing and they have plenty of credentials And should be trusted They're just not taking that money from The big system and I really hope That there isn't a covid 2.0 or some other kind of new rollout of something and if there is

CHAPTER 09 / 25 Discussion

MSG Industry Growth, Tobacco Additives and Corporate Secrecy

Dr. Blaylock discusses the massive growth of the MSG industry, noting that production has doubled every decade since the 1940s. He reveals that excitotoxins are now being added to smoking tobacco to increase addiction. He recounts a private conversation with a food industry insider who admitted that companies will always find new names to hide MSG from consumers.

ajinomoto· msg· tobacco· chicago tribune· food industry· addiction

23:34 I do hope people have that stuff on hand and are prepared in any way they can be. But coming back to excitotoxins, in your book it mentions that the amount of MSG and similar additives have doubled every decade since the 1940s by 1972—262,000 metric tons of MSG were produced and many cookbooks recommended adding MSG to the recipes, especially for soups and sauce like you mentioned. I didn't even know that MSG was ever a purchasable retail item but you also say that it's been recently disclosed that excitotoxins are being added to smoking tobacco so if that wasn't addictive enough

24:21 Here's another layer of addiction. And it just seems like the evidence is quite clear of the damage it does to the body, The only thing it does is taste good well that means we are a nation of addicts and I looked up a Genomoto, the company who produces most of the world supply of MSG and their stock price has never been higher than It has been in 2023 And that is really sad. That's a demoralizing sign to see, given all the data that's out there now. Well when my book first came out I got invited to Chicago at election and so they were several hundred people there and they had major newspapers in Chicago sent representative reporters to listen while i was waiting to speak I got to speak to the man who worked

25:19 primarily for process companies to put MSG in. And he talked to me privately, and says I'm the one that puts it into food." He said, "...I don't care what you say... we're going to change the name and figure a way to get it into food..." He told me that! And I said well thank you for telling me because I am going tell every audience from now on. And I did! I lectured on that, I told the audience exactly what he said And the reporter that was from the Chicago Tribune was sitting in the audience, he heard my talk and then he wrote an article which is critical. I wrote him a personal letter, I said you sat in a lecture, you heard this science and you're going to live for what you've done

CHAPTER 10 / 25 Discussion

Hidden MSG Names, Labeling Tricks and Natural Flavors

The discussion covers the deceptive labeling practices used to hide excitotoxins under names like "natural flavors," "autolyzed yeast," and "carrageenan." Dr. Blaylock explains that current laws allow companies to omit MSG from labels if it is not 100% pure. He emphasizes that these hidden glutamates continue to fuel cancer growth even when consumers believe they are eating healthy.

natural flavors· autolyzed yeast· carrageenan· soy protein extract· adrienne samuels· labeling

26:08 yeah they don't care they don't care and let's drill down on the hide-and-seek game of the naming in the marketing a little bit more because people might think well i know msg is bad and they might remember it dust up a few years ago and. They might assume while we learned was bad and it was removed from the food supply and obviously we have aspartame which is very much in the food supply What you say in the book that you could buy products and say right on them no msg and yet it's in there or they'll have labels like one hundred percent natural sweeteners and it will be aspartame. Is there more to say about the coded language their using and how we can avoid because,

26:57 we know it's bad, but we are being lied to on the packaging. I guess you should avoid anything that's in a package like that." But what other types of tricks are they using to get people who know it's bad to still buy and ingest it? Well, just like the guy at the meeting told me, we're going to figure out how to get into food. And what they did is change their name and the law says if you don't add 100% MSG to your foods, then you won't have to put it on the label So, if you have an ingredient that has 100% MSG you can put it in the food and not put it on the label. That's in the law! And what they did other than that is to use products they knew had high glutamate in them. For instance, you see natural flavors a lot of those natural flavors have very high glutamate concentrations in them You see soy protein extracts – that's glutamate

27:59 Autolized yeast is very common. And autolized yeast is you extract the glutamate, so you see all of these names and it's a very long list as Adrienne Samuels was an expert in that area I met her and she showed me all the names that they changed...that they create And so she's written a number of articles about these names. So they disguise the name and people look at the package, well there is no MSG in it just has soy protein extract as all that yeast as carrageenan and it's okay. No, it ain't that's extract that purposely concentrates to glutamate. What we found since then is that almost all tumors have glutamate receptors and they grow much faster and spread much faster in the face of glutamate

28:51 So if you have cancer and you've got your cancer under control, and you eat a diet high in glutamate it's going to spread. It's going to grow much faster." And I've written a couple of articles on that. It makes the cancer grow. And so what the smart people said was why don't we block the glutamic receptor? Well they blocked their glutamate receptors and added it to traditional treatments and tumors respond a lot better So here people with cancer out there eating this food fill glutamate, and their cancers are uncontrollable. And they're dying from cancer because they're eating what I always call is a cancer fertilizer. You're fertilizing your cancer by eating this processed food

CHAPTER 11 / 25 Discussion

Aspartame Approval History, Donald Rumsfeld and G.D. Searle

Dr. Blaylock and Greg Carlwood recount the political maneuvering used by Donald Rumsfeld to get aspartame approved by the FDA in the early 1980s. Despite animal studies showing links to brain tumors and lymphoma, the sweetener was pushed through by Commissioner Arthur Hayes Jr. Dr. Blaylock cites the Ramazzini Institute studies in Italy as definitive proof of aspartame's long-term carcinogenicity.

aspartame· donald rumsfeld· g.d. searle· fda· arthur hayes jr· lymphoma

29:37 Wow it's funny how i opening a changing of the terms can be and i like the term cancer fertilizer. And aspartame itself has an interesting story i wanted to fit in here made by a company named cyril and Aspartame was approved in nineteen seventy four but then pulled by the FDA and nineteen seventy five cuz the animal studies were so damning that in nineteen eighty ronald reagan was elected and donald rumsfeld was ceo of cereal from seventy seven to eighty five, and used his swaying government to get it reapproved for dry goods by the fda under the new head.

30:18 Arthur hayes junior well del big tree said it was one of the first things that haze did in his new position and within two years he was under investigation by congress for taking money from outside companies so he resigned but the last thing you did on his way out the door, what's approved aspartame for beverages so that is the rough history of aspartame were the worst additives ever put any american food supply and it barely made it in. There was a big investigation, it was banned and then came back out. When you think about the damage that's done and how close it was to not being on our food supply... Man we took the wrong road there! Well there is this cancer expert named Razini from Italy

31:08 He is the number one person to study the cause of cancer and all these things, all foods and all natural products. Pesticides, herbicides he studies them. He did a study on Aspartame and he found that it increased the incidence in lymphoma which was one of the fastest growing cancers we see in humans and it increased slightly tumors brain tumors and it increased breast cancers So, immediately our FDA said oh well this is not a good study. So he did a lifetime study two-year study of animals that's their lifetime and it confirmed exactly what you found He did huge number of animals and I predicted I said now when that gets the United States they're gonna cover it up That's exactly what they did Well that's a lifetime study Well that's what humans do

32:05 They start as children. Their whole life they're consuming aspartame, and it's just like the Razin study! And they're getting breast cancer, they're getting pancreatic cancer, they're getting lung cancer... all these cancers and is stimulating the growth of that cancer. And they just keep drinking it. The sodas is a number one source of aspartame. That's exactly what he approved on his way out, is the sodas. And you mentioned seeing little kids, toddlers getting a sip of diet soda which is just mind boggling to me. But it doesn't even have to be kids drinking adult beverages this stuff MSG in particular A lot of these excitotoxins they're put right in baby food right? Well they did at first and Dr Omi who I knew personally I stayed his house on business laboratory It's that

CHAPTER 12 / 25 Discussion

Adolescent Brain Development, Baby Food and Childhood Obesity

The conversation focuses on the impact of excitotoxins on children, noting that the human brain does not finish developing until age 27. While MSG was removed from some baby foods due to public pressure, it remains prevalent in foods marketed to adolescents. Dr. Blaylock argues that the explosion in childhood obesity is a direct result of these chemical additives rather than simple overeating.

baby food· adolescent brain· obesity· congress· artificial sweeteners· brain lesions

33:04 He testified before Congress about the brain-damaging effect of it in baby food. Well, Congress didn't have the courage to withdraw it but the companies knew that publicity was so bad they said well we won't put it in baby food anymore. They put it in adolescent food just a little bit older! Your brain really doesn't finish developing fully until age 27 They knew that. So here you got adolescents who are consuming food for adolescent little kids, two and one years old have aspartame in it and have MSG in it and they have a number of excitotoxins in there. And the mother doesn't know any difference. And that kid ends up having wrong. Well look my kids fat well look at my kid has cancer well look at my kid has one of these other complications from consuming this type of excitotoxin

34:01 You see? And Congress okayed that. The food processing companies encouraged it. I mean, you look at some of these foods and it's just encouraging. It's sweetened with an artificial sweetener in order to keep your kid from getting fat. Why are kids fat? They say well the growth of obesity is mostly in these young children Why are they growing fat? They weren't fat my age. They weren't fat all this time and suddenly out of the blue, they're fat." Well isn't that ironic that it's the same time you started putting their stuff in food and like I said it doubles every 10 years. And so now kids are fatter than ever! And they say well they don't eat any more than I did when I was a kid. Well there is now getting excitotoxins

34:47 Right. It's a really troubling situation and I have, uh, toddler and another one on the way so i'm always thinking about trying to keep all the poisons in the world at bay and it probably drives my wife crazy how many rules I try to put on us because there are just so many things in society that are toxic. I always tell her hey its not my fault lets not use plastic lets not use aluminum and lets not eat any of this processed food but To be fair, I'm 38 years old and i probably ate as much from a drive-thru as anyone could between the ages of 18 and 28. Soda with every fast food combo... And I feel obviously okay maybe I just dodged a bunch of bullets but when you read the book it's like when you say things like a kid can get a brain lesion after just one

CHAPTER 13 / 25 Discussion

Reversing Damage, Plant Extracts and Population Control Theory

Dr. Blaylock discusses strategies for reversing the damage caused by years of poor diet, highlighting the protective power of B-vitamins and plant extracts. He suggests that governments attempt to restrict access to supplements as a form of population control. He argues that the state prefers citizens to die in middle age to avoid the long-term costs of Medicare and social programs.

supplements· b-vitamins· population control· medicare· plant extracts· healing

35:44 dose of a certain concentration. I mean, this is really scary stuff! Is it reversible in any way? Has this stuff built up in my body that even if I stop now, I should expect dementia or cancer by 50? What do you tell people who went through a decade of eating trash and didn't really know these things until later?" Well, there are a lot of people in that category and what we find is there's a great number of natural products that DO protect In fact, there's a number of natural products that protect against the effect of these excitotoxins. That is primarily what I've been concentrating on is what can you do both to stop it and reverse it? What we find are great number of plant extracts that do exactly that!

36:33 And so the government is now bending over backwards to outlaw the supplements. I belong to another group, and that's what we do—we're trying to protect the supplements against the governments. But all of the governments in the world, particularly UN, are doing everything in its power to make sure you can't get these! Then again it goes back to population control…well they want people who died in middle age If you live in an old age, you're going to be on Medicare. You're going to be on supplement programs. It's gonna cost the government a lot of money but if you die mid-age it won't cost the government any money. Dead people don't cost the government money like I always tell people there are two ways to solve poverty or maybe more but at least two ways one you can

37:23 teach these people how to earn a living and sacrifice, do things right and have a good life. Or you can kill them off! Both of them reduce poverty. Which one do you want? Do you want to reduce the number of poor people by killing them or just teach them how to… It's like that old Chinese proverb about teaching a person fish – either give him a fish or you can teach him how to fish Yeah, I mean it puts a new context on that whole idea of well just give the addicts the crack pipes. Just give them the needles like we were doing this for them somehow. It's like well you're exacerbating their problem and probably killing them exactly. I find that talking to a great number of people they yield to the most unbelievable things. I had person who died from the COVID vaccine 20 years old

CHAPTER 14 / 25 Discussion

Gardasil Vaccine Criticism, Aluminum Content and Medical Orthodoxy

Dr. Blaylock criticizes the Gardasil HPV vaccine, claiming it has the highest aluminum content of any vaccine and was never properly tested for safety. He argues that the risk of cervical cancer is virtually zero for young women who receive regular Pap smears. He laments that most doctors blindly follow the "orthodoxy" of pharmaceutical companies like Merck and Pfizer without reviewing the primary science.

gardasil· hpv· aluminum· cervical cancer· merck· pfizer

38:15 Why did they die? Because they wanted to go to a concert and you had to be vaccinated. You gave your life so that you could go to a concert, you're crippled for life because you want to go to the concert. I know people who had their daughters taken to a doctor and the doctor told them oh you've got to get the Gardasil vaccine The HPV. The daughters were not of age and they weren't loose, they were decent girls and they had the mother convinced that their child would get cervical cancer by the time they got out to the parking lot so drug them off and got them vaccinated. Well you know how many people have died from Gardasil? You know what vaccine has the highest aluminum content? Do you know where they put MSG in vaccines

38:59 People don't know these things. You know what the incidence of cervical cancer at that age is? Nothing! Do you know what the incidence of cure for cervical cancer and people get pap smear every year? 100%. And then number of people that have HPV infection, they get cervical cancer... none! It's a lie They didn't test the vaccine. They didn't test it for safety and they didn't test it for effectiveness, they found out if a woman just happens to be infected already with HPV and you give the Gardasil vaccine, it will give her cervical cancer. They never tell the illiterate doctor that and there's so many doctors that know virtually nothing I go to see my friends of doctors they have big posters and it's all about getting vaccinated and I said look at the name on the poster

39:50 It's the person who makes the vaccine. They sent you the poster and you put it on your wall, and people are taking prescription medication." I said, people that make that prescription medication is saying one made that vaccine? I mean, Merck, you got Pfizer?" I said they made that medication at your wolf down every day. They made that vaccine and they didn't do any safety testing or be paralyzed. People died and there's people dying all time. And you're taking that medication and you assume it was safe to test it wasn't Right, and all these products they make outside of vaccines always have side effects. Always!

CHAPTER 15 / 25 Discussion

Curcumin Benefits, Pesticides and Parkinson's Disease

The discussion highlights the neuroprotective benefits of curcumin and nanocurcumin in preventing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Dr. Blaylock identifies pesticides as the leading cause of the current explosion in neurodegenerative diseases. He points to India's lower rates of Alzheimer's as evidence of the benefits of a diet rich in turmeric and other anti-inflammatory spices.

curcumin· turmeric· parkinson's disease· pesticides· alzheimer's· thiamine

40:28 itself is a funny term because it's not a side effect, it's an effect. It's an effect of the drug so yeah, it causes all kinds of problems but they can't seem to make a pill that doesn't have these negative effects but they can make a shot that does and they do it with 100% accuracy That's the mind state that a lot of people are in But I wanted to come back to those plant extracts and supplements you mentioned for the people like me who did a lot of damage in their 20s and are now freaking out about the next stage of life, what are some of those plant extracts and supplements that people should start taking before they see the effects of their reckless 20's? Well we've seen that a number of normal vitamins like B-Vitamins, B complex vitamin inhibit what happens in your brain when you're exposed to excitotoxin. We find that they stimulate healing of the brain and healing of the heart and healing these other organs tissues that are damaged by them

41:27 and things like B12, B12 inhibits it. B1 is very important to prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, thiamine. And they found that high dose thiamine even in people that have Parkinson's disease a number of them gotten well and it seems to be a problem absorbing thiamine is what causes it. And so these pesticides and herbicides they inhibit your intestine from absorbing these things and they damage the liver and do this kind of thing We're drowning in pesticide. Right now, we know the number one cause of Parkinson's disease is pesticide. It's the number one cause and yet it's exploding! I wrote an article on why our neurodegenerative diseases increase all of them are increased some are increasing enormously like Alzheimer's when i was a resident you rarely saw people with these things now that everybody I talk to have people dying from

42:32 And I said, you've got to cut out the pesticides and herbicides. You gotta wash your vegetables, good clean organic food and you need to take vitamins. The B-vitamins prevent a lot of this stimulate brain healing. The brain secretes chemicals that is reparative in these chemicals increase it like curcumin. Curcumin even in low dose dramatically reduces Alzheimer's disease. They make a nanocurcumin, which is a very small molecule that is real well absorbed goes into the brain cells and it's more active than regular curcumin. Curcumin is very poorly absorbed but nanocurcumin goes into all these cells there has been an extensive study on it they found out well gee! It's working a lot better And its' a very powerful anti-cancer agent. It prevents complications from the treatment of cancer

43:31 It does all kinds of things, a powerful antioxidant. It's brain-protecting and so your food you put turmeric the spice in the oil and that helps protect you what we found is in India the incidence of Alzheimer's and these neurodegenerative diseases were far less because they put turmeric in everything! And it's only 30% curcumin So they isolated the curcumin and works even better things like apigenin, which is another chemical found in plants. A common plant and it does these things. Hesperidin prevents atherosclerosis. A number of these things lower cholesterol, lower lipids, make vessels work better. It's just a whole host of thing I write a newsletter and tell about these things in the newsletter new discoveries, the research that has been done on this and this are the things they don't want to public to know about

CHAPTER 16 / 25 Discussion

Type 2 Diabetes Reversal, R-Lipoic Acid and Chernobyl

Dr. Blaylock asserts that Type 2 diabetes is a purely dietary disease that can be cured through nutrition and supplements like R-lipoic acid and quercetin. He shares a historical anecdote about using R-lipoic acid to prevent thyroid cancer in children exposed to radiation after the Chernobyl disaster. He criticizes mainstream diabetologists for dismissing vitamins as "expensive urine."

type 2 diabetes· r-lipoic acid· chernobyl· radiation· quercetin· nerve growth

44:32 When I used to practice, we had a diabetologist who's an expert in diabetes. And I would get a consult and see a patient in my office of this person and I'd put them on multiple vitamins that stimulate their nerve growth and she would take them all off of me. It wouldn't be a single one. She said it just makes expensive urine. No, it doesn't! It's the stimulant of nerve growth. It heals injured nerves and it combats the effects of diabetes There's a great number of things that affect. They found that if you put type 2 diabetes, which is 90% of the cases with diabetes on a good diet they're all cured. They don't get the complications It's the number one disease in America it's type two diabetes and its purely dietary disease You change your diet and goes away. You take something like the nano curcumin or nano quercetin and it lowers your blood sugar

45:32 R-lipoic acid lowers your blood sugar. It is a powerful antioxidant. When Chernobyl blew up and all those people were exposed to radiation, the Americans wanted to go over there and try to help out. Well, the communists of course resisted them for awhile but eventually they let them do it and found out these kids had enormously high levels of what's called clastogenic factor which is effective radiation. They fed them R-lipoic acid and it all returned to normal The kids that they treated didn't get thyroid cancer and didn't get these other cancers. The other ones did! And so there's a lot of these things nutritionally you can do to reverse what's been done, and you can prevent any damage that had been done. They don't want you to know that. Right? It's so frustrating that this problem

46:24 Really boils down to ignorance addiction and laziness by relying on the convenience of these products and being susceptible to their marketing it's pretty simple to solve this just like we can't do it and. It's interesting to know that all timers autism these things that, We thought were the mark of death just completely irreversible problems can actually be reversed even cancer you look at something like the Gerson method all it is

CHAPTER 17 / 25 Discussion

Cognitive Dissonance, Authority Bias and Mark Twain

The hosts discuss the difficulty of convincing friends and family about dietary and vaccine risks due to a deep-seated trust in authority. Dr. Blaylock explains that people often suffer from cognitive dissonance because they do not want to admit they have been fooled. He invokes Mark Twain’s observation that it is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been deceived.

cognitive dissonance· authority· fda· mark twain· pharmaceutical industry· ego

47:01 taking people into an isolated environment and feeding them organic fruit juice smoothies for the most part, cold-pressed juice. So getting all that stuff out of their typical diet you have to take them out of their environment to get them to change their habits so that's why they tend to bring people into a controlled environment so they aren't susceptible to all those other factors but with autism and Alzheimer's Have you ever faced a sort of cognitive dissidence in terms of family members who don't want to admit this is the problem? I mean, I know this happens with vaccines. There's so many people who won't accept that could be the cause of their kid's autism because they don't want to feel that guilt about what they did but why

47:48 But when it comes to the dietary stuff and the idea that some of this is reversible, I have friends that have autistic kids. And I want to say hey listen to this interview read this book maybe something can be done but i'm afraid to do it because it's such a touchy subject and I don't think they're going to believe me and it's only going to damage the friendship Do you see that when you talk about these kind of things? I see it every day and what it is is a couple of friends Americans and Europeans tend to trust authority. That's it, and so they say well the FDA checks everything so it must be okay because there is FDA approved. It's a revolving door we found out the pharmaceutical companies are paying the regulator a lot of money to okay the drug for instance one of the researchers was hired by a pharmaceutical company to test a drug

48:47 He tested the drug and he said, it's dangerous. It doesn't do what it says." And he said I'm going to write another article warning people about that. They said if you do we'll sue you. Say we hired you! That information is controlled and you can't release it. And he was backed up by the courts. The pharmaceutical companies were backed up by the courts. So there are a lot of things that the public just don't know And so even when I go to people and tell them this stuff, they say well my doctor said. I said I'm a doctor! I'm a lot better trained than your doctor and i went to a medical school just like your doctor and I went to a residency a lot harder than your doctor and you believe him but you won't believe anything I tell you and it's orthodoxy because it's authority

49:40 And so they see the doctor in a white coat, he's got a stethoscope around his neck and he is an authority. They're not going to believe anything you say! This is what you come up against when you gradually begin to learn nothing you say articles will change their mind like recently about the COVID vaccine one of the really smart people said it called one of the regulars and interviewed him and said well Send me one article that shows it's safe." And this bureaucratic idiot said, I'm not going to debate you on it. He said, I don't want to debate. I just want one article that says it's safe. They wouldn't send it because there is no such article, you see, that would pass muster and so It's easier fool the public There's an old saying Mark Twain used to say which makes more sense than anything in a world and put it in an article. It's easier To fool people then convince them they've been fooled

50:40 and it's ego. I'm too smart to be fooled." It's just like a con man, the kind of man who is going to sell you a piece of property that is underneath the swamp. He sends your gloves through brochure, you look at the brochure and it shows this beautiful place—you've never been there—and you buy the land sight unseen. And then you go there and suddenly walk around in the swamp! You say, do you know how long that con has been around? Forever. People continuously fall for it It's just like the con that we have this vaccine, con of the autistic kids, con everything. People fall for it over and over and if we go through this COVID again it's going to be masks, it's going to be distancing, it's gonna be lockdown... The same nonsense we went through they studied all of it! They said well where did the distancing come from? We made it up

CHAPTER 18 / 25 Discussion

Mask Efficacy, Tetanus Myths and Social Pressure

Dr. Blaylock critiques the use of masks during COVID-19, citing risks of hypoxia and lack of safety studies. He also debunks the common belief that tetanus is caused by rust, explaining that it actually originates from animal feces found on objects like barbed wire. The conversation touches on the social pressure to vaccinate and the lack of logic in fearing unvaccinated individuals.

masks· hypoxia· tetanus· animal feces· mmr vaccine· social distancing

51:32 Well, where did the safety on the mask come from? We've never done a safety study. But the ones that were done showed it's not safe and that it actually makes you worse and is very harmful to children. Every school child wore all day long. It affects brain formation, affects personal relationships, it affects learning. And the effect of CO2 in hypoxia all day long increases their risk for cancer and much diseases And so several experts have written about masks and told them, don't ever do this again. If we have another outbreak they can do this again. And the public said I'm listening to you look at the people that were thrown out of stores other customers get out of store You don't have a mask up and they were screaming after your mask below your nose if there's a virus is in your nose not in your stupid mouth

52:34 And yet, they're screaming. Their nose is exposed! I've seen them walk around with a mask under their chin and their nose and mouth are not covered. Why are you wearing this mask? Is it decoration? Is it cosmetics? What is it?! It's certainly not to prevent transmission of virus. Then they do a vaccine...and they admit all these studies show that it doesn't prevent transmission and it doesn't protect you Why are you taking it? You just want the complications, but you can't reason with people because an authority said it. It's true I mean...I faced the same problem through COVID with not getting vaccinated. I've had people in my life say well then I want you to get tested before every time we hang out and say oh I'm not gonna do that! And it's like if you got the vaccine then it shouldn't matter what I do and the same thing has come around again with my daughter

53:30 Other people are nervous to be around her because they think she's a walking biohazard, because she hasn't had these shots. And it's like well look if you've had them and your kids have had them what difference does it make? That's right! They should be protected You can't reason with them that thing thats shocking to people like us is you can't reason. You can show him a study, you could show him 10 studies or 1000 studies It shows your kid got the MMR vaccine Why are you scared of my unvaccinated kid? They're protected, according to you. Yeah! They can't get the measles and then we look at measles outbreaks how many those kids were vaccinated oh 90% well how many other unvaccinated kids got measles almost none How many kids in this country before the MMR vaccine was even invented ever died a measles

54:25 Very few. It's extremely rare, ask how many doctors have you ever seen anybody a kid die of measles? I've never seen one. Have you ever seen lockdown? No and yet this is what amazed me if you go to emergency room my son cut himself on the vase in the living room and they'd go to emergency rooms again with tetanus boosters And i tell them why did you get a tetanus do it was there a cow in the living room I said, almost all tetanus comes from animal feces. If you didn't have a cow or chicken or something in the living room why did you go get a tetanus shot? Tetanus shot has one of the highest aluminum levels of vaccine before the Gardasil shot. Wow! I didn't know that. I thought it was rusts It's nonsense and everybody comes in with a cut they give a tetanus booster to and their risk of getting a tetanus is essentially zero

55:27 Yeah, they've made us believe that it's rust. And so I've definitely stepped on rusty metal before and thought oh shit! I guess uh...I'm rolling the dice here. I mean iIm not gonna go get a shot but maybe I'm at risk? I don't know. I didn't know it was animal feces. I thought it was rust. Animal feces?! And we were talking about the same thing. That's just rusty nails. It has nothing to do with rust. It's barbed wire fences Cows run up against it, get the feces on the barbed wire fence and that's where tetanus came from. And they looked at World War I and World War II they said well that's a nasty wound. That's a filthy wound. The incidence of tetanus was enormously low. Interesting so man as we're wrapping this up i just want to say to people the science is so clear

CHAPTER 19 / 25 Discussion

Willpower in Diet, Geoengineering and Environmental Toxins

The segment emphasizes the importance of willpower in breaking addictions to processed foods and sugar. Dr. Blaylock also warns about environmental hazards such as fluoride in water, 5G radiation, and nanoaluminum from geoengineering. He recommends using high-quality air cleaners to combat the off-gassing of toxins from modern household products and construction materials.

willpower· geoengineering· nanoaluminum· fluoride· 5g· air purifiers

56:14 Don't wait until you have a health crisis to deal with what i will call most people's addiction. Do this process food it's like a cigarette smoker says well i feel fine today i'm gonna quit the first signs of illness, it's like when are you dealing with the health crisis and an addiction deal with your addiction today so you can stave off health issues tomorrow. I mean, clearly you would probably agree with that being good advice? Do you have anything to say for people in terms of getting a handle on that addiction or changing their patterns that they're probably stuck in?" Well it's all willpower and like I said yeah everybody likes donuts, everybody likes candy bars but you have to use willpower we've always known that prevention is just like the old saying an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure

57:09 And it's true. It's a lot easier, for instance to cure infections when they first start than it is when they're full blown. I mean sepsis kills tens of thousands of people every year well that's end stage if you treat it early you never get sepsis and the same with all these things like atherosclerosis and cancer heart disease treat them early eat good diet exercise regularly and you won't get these things. If you smoke, and say I feel fine, then have a heart attack your body's filled with atherosclerosis when you have the heart attack it is too late if you die but if not, it isn't too late. You stop smoking clean up your diet take certain supplements that are known to clean out the atherosclerosis

57:57 And that's what people need to learn. And that's what I put in the book, Health and Nutrition Secrets That'll Save Your Life is about each different type of system that will change you but there are some things you can't change like fluoride or water well don't drink water that has fluoride in it geoengineering they're dropping nanoaluminum in the sky people breathing and what I tell ya is nanoaluminum goes through a node directly through your brain You're breathing It goes from your lungs into your blood then into your brain What do you do about that? Well, the thing is, you just have to stay indoors more and make sure there's no chemtrails in the air.

58:39 when you do it, but it lasts for about two weeks after they drop it. But you need sunlight and your air conditioning unit is probably pumping in the air from outside anyway? You need an air cleaner. Most of the products in your house are off-gassing and they're producing toxins I had a patient one time build brand new house he said I couldn't go into the house He said I just broke out horrible allergies from the house Sounds like me Yeah, and he said I had to get rid of the house. I couldn't live in it! There's all kinds of hazards and they're increasing them like this microwaves and 5G... We know that these things are carcinogenic and neurotoxic and they just keep increasing, increasing, increasing. Yeah, I mean i've always had like chronic allergies and I still have them today even in this new place in this totally new environment but

CHAPTER 20 / 25 Discussion

Statin Drugs Criticism, Newsmax Newsletter and Final Thoughts

Dr. Blaylock advises against the use of statin drugs, claiming they have been oversold by the pharmaceutical industry without reducing overall heart attack rates. He directs listeners to his monthly "Blaylock Health Report" published by Newsmax for ongoing research. Greg Carlwood concludes the interview by reflecting on the importance of using "spite" against corporate manipulation as a tool for dietary discipline.

statins· newsmax· blaylock health report· heart attacks· cardiology· willpower

59:33 I know i should do better to i know that i have a lot of holes in my health game and i do episodes like this. To confront them and try to motivate me scare me into doing better but i think when it comes to willpower one of the best tools for me is spitefulness for them trying to manipulate me i don't like to be manipulated so when we go over the fact that this is a chemically addictive thing that's been engineered and allow to. Pull on all your pleasure centers that helps me to say no because screw that and i hope that the people listening feel similarly. But this has been a real treat i know it's a marathon session around here ask for a lot of time but i appreciate everything you shared and your dedication to educating people on the damage of processed foods vaccines in the whole system

1:00:31 in general. Anything else to add about following up on your work or where to get the books, or anything upcoming you have coming out? You mentioned a newsletter that people should be informed on how to get. Yeah I write regular newsletters like Blalock Health Report it's published by Newsmax And it comes out every month. They have a print edition and an edition for the computer, but I write that once a month and I usually do pretty extensive research for each newsletter. And I get a lot of feedback from patients or elderly saying they've gotten a lot better. I had patients with arrhythmia there's been all these drugs and they never got any better than me not switching to something else is natural on a treat

1:01:15 I'm fine. It got well." Some of these drugs are deadly, especially the more recent drug like statins. I tell people never take a statin. I don't care what they say and there was a cardiologist at one of the big universities who after the patent ran out on statins he said, Statins have been oversold And I always ask people, I said well did your cardiologist go out of business? Apparently there's no more heart attacks because almost everybody is taking statins now. Did he go out of business? Is there are no heart attacks anymore and you look at the rates, heart attack rates is the same they haven't changed it all. They're lying! Right right man yeah the evidence should be right there right so... Yeah I mean just common observations like you were saying you do is just observe

1:02:07 I mean, you look and you say well they said this is the greatest advance in heart attack ever. Statins! Heart attacks disappear? Have they been cut in half?" And so that's what happened with some other things they just disappeared when people started doing the right thing. Yeah if all this isn't a problem why aren't we the healthiest nation we've ever been it should be so obvious. I mean doctors should be closing their doors. We don't have anything to do nobody's healthy Great points. It is really kind of sad and depressing stuff, but I'm glad we could take an honest look at it and share a couple laughs over just how ridiculous the whole thing is. It's been our real pleasure thanks again take it easy out there if you know anyone in your network in the Tampa area that you trust I need that resource but now will talk about that later but thanks so much for your time and I hope people learn something today and change their ways if they need to

CHAPTER 21 / 25 Discussion

Post-Interview Reflection, Deceptive Marketing and Organic Food

Greg Carlwood provides a solo recap of the interview, emphasizing the corrupt history of aspartame and the deceptive renaming of MSG. He reflects on his own struggles with "habits of convenience" and how reminders from guests like Dr. Blaylock help him recalibrate his health choices. He encourages listeners to stick to organic whole foods to avoid the complexities of food labeling.

msg· aspartame· organic food· donald rumsfeld· deceptive marketing· habit change

1:03:02 I thank you appreciate the opportunity of course all right yes people dr russell blaylock definitely one of the good ones he was calling out msg and aspartame way before it was cool and i thought this would be an interesting interview because i heard him breaking down in the history of these compounds and these companies in ways i hadn't heard before And I think some people know about Donald Rumsfeld and Aspartame, but it's an important story as to just how close it was to being banned from the American food supply. Yet it slipped back in by literally a small handful of corrupt people who had a vested interest, and look how much damage its done since! Sometimes I'm just in awe of how these things happen and how close we were to a different reality

1:03:56 Plus, it's good to talk about MSG because I think some of us have a false sense of security around it. I think people who are in their mid-30s probably remember this big campaign against it where it almost seemed like it was banned but they just change a molecule or two keep the no MSG marketing and move along like nobody is going to notice and oftentimes they don't So deceptive food marketing is a huge thing, but if you stick with organic whole foods then you don't even really need to wonder. Right? So ton of good info one of my favorite health slash food type episodes in awhile I always learn a few new things and i appreciate the reminder to eat right because I slip into old habits of convenience and I justify it by saying well this is a better brand than

Carlwood Family News, Traumatic Home Birth and Hospital Seizure

Greg Carlwood shares the personal story of his son Roman’s birth, which began as a natural home birth but ended in a medical emergency. After a difficult delivery involving shoulder dystocia, his wife suffered an unexpected seizure and was rushed to the hospital. He describes the trauma of the experience and the subsequent diagnosis of eclampsia, which requires a 12-week recovery period.

home birth· seizure· eclampsia· roman lewis carlwood· shoulder dystocia· hospital

1:04:54 what you find on the bottom tier, or it's just going to be this one time. But reminders like this interview helped me recalibrate and I hope i'm not alone on that." And after the interview Dr Blaylock actually sent me some studies and papers to back up some of what he had said which I also really appreciate! It's great to have guests who really know their stuff and can pass along more information to back it up and are that confident in their perspective So you can find those in the show notes if you want to dig deeper. And Hireside News, or really Carlwood Family News... Man it has been a whirlwind of a week! I don't really like to get too personal with my wife's stuff but this is going to affect how quickly i can get back to work so.. I'll say that she went into prodermal labor again which is just a fancy term for very prolonged labor

1:05:54 And on the fourth day, we knew it was coming. And after 12 hours of active labor she got what we both really wanted a natural home birth of a healthy baby and it was a 10 pound three ounce 23 inch long baby boy so really I couldn't be happier or more proud she really crushed it when he was coming out He had a shoulder dystocia which is just a fancy word for this shoulder getting stuck It happens, he's clearly a big boy. But it got scary there for a minute and our midwife jumped into action she did her job well and it worked out got the baby out laid him on mom's chest and then five minutes later my wife had a completely unexpected seizure

1:06:42 and was rushed to the hospital. And I had to put my 10 minute old baby in a car seat and rush after her, of course, to make sure she was okay but also to get the skin-to-skin and start the feeding. So really just another very traumatic and scarring birth experience for me where my wife is kind of incapacitated whether it's unconscious from being put under before a C-section or unconscious from a seizure But yeah, then after four days of labor we then were in the hospital for another three days. I guess she had or has eclampsia even though she tested negative but it's just this thing that happens to some women where they say she's at risk for another seizure for a 12-week postpartum period and then we should be in the clear

1:07:35 So I can't really leave her alone, she can't be driving and we now have two kids under 2 that we have to manage all day together. And it's just frustrating honestly and a little defeating only made worse by being kind of public figure because twice now we tried everything right but things still went wrong My wife didn't even eat an inorganic apple for nine months. Now she's got four different drugs pumping through an IV, and an electromagnetic soup eating cheap jello out of a plastic tub, and being fed generic MSG filled bone broth powder from a styrofoam cup that they poured boiling water into! This is the healing of our hospital system I'm angry...I'm sad....I don't know

CHAPTER 23 / 25 Discussion

Hospital Conflict, Blood Transfusion Refusal and Recovery

The host details the conflict with hospital staff regarding his wife's low hemoglobin levels and her refusal of a blood transfusion. He alleges that the hospital retaliated by canceling her pain medication prescriptions at CVS after they left against medical advice. The family is now focused on home recovery using magnesium and iron supplements to manage blood pressure and blood loss.

1:08:27 But because of Pitocin and other drugs, as well as the size of our little guy she lost a lot of blood. And her hemoglobin level was at 6.3 which I've now read online that that alone kills people so they wanted to do a blood transfusion which she refused So we basically left the hospital against the doctor's advice Because of that they called CVS to cancel the prescription for pain That they were going to give her So be it. Really petty shit, if you ask me. It is what it is. Now we're at home doing all we can with magnesium for the seizure remediation and low blood pressure and iron for building back all the blood she lost our son his name is Roman Lewis Carlwood Roman We just thought was a cool name that matched the energy of theory

1:09:24 You know, we can't have one kid named Theory and one named Mike or Tom. It's weird! So Roman... We like it and Louis in honor of being from St. Louis? We thought that was a nice touch so little Rome was also pretty yellow when he came out not uncommon but again because were stuck in the damn hospital being woken up every single hour of the night for three days it was hard to give him what he needs But long story short, I think we're all through the woods now and everybody's going to be okay after yet another scary intense crash landing. And we

1:10:03 are done now. We have the typical nuclear family, and I never want to go through something like that again." Birth just in my experience is not this happy joyful thing—it's traumatic, it's scarring…this whole mental picture of a home birth where the baby comes out and everybody just cuddles and we're all happy in our own bed? No! It It's panic, mental anguish and complete exhaustion. And just super scary but everyone is on the mend and I'm playing Mr Mom making the meals trying to manage so I am really lucky that I recorded as much as I did before the baby came So outside of this little update my wrap ups are going to be pretty short and im just gonna get these interviews out to you as I can after maybe putting everybody to bed in the evenings

Podcast Schedule Update, Twitter Support and Hospital Torture

Greg Carlwood updates listeners on his work schedule, noting that he will release five shows this month despite the family crisis. He expresses gratitude for the support on Twitter but admits to feeling cynical about "thoughts and prayers" given the stress of the situation. He describes the sleep deprivation and constant interruptions in the hospital as a form of "torture" for new parents.

1:10:56 But thanks for understanding. If you've ever thought about Plus, I would appreciate a little bump in signups because it helps to lower the stress that by being not so present the whole thing will collapse. That's also a track running in my mind. I don't think it will but these are just the thoughts that come up on top of everything else And I honestly do not care if you follow me on Twitter, but if I need to put out any little updates that's where I can do it. Otherwise just trust that I'm gonna have five shows out to you before the month ends and the second hour of this one has all sorts of interesting added context and information pop in if you want to hear more

1:11:41 But I did make a quick post on Twitter when labor started because I'm fortunate enough to have a following that for most of human history people didn't have. And I got a ton of people putting out their thoughts and prayers, and I am very thankful but given the experiences of the last week, I start to doubt that thoughts and prayers really mean much. Hundreds of people putting out good vibes and well wishes You'd just think that would move the needle and help everything go smoothly, but not really. Sure if the bar is that a week later everyone is kind of safe and mostly healthy I guess that's good but...I don't get why we had to go through this extra stress and nightmarish hospital experience again

1:12:33 You already have to wake up every two to three hours to feed a baby and now you're in a room with constant beeping, uncomfortable beds and people just walking in to take vitals every single hour. It's insane! And it's actually pretty close to torture... Just as a small example and then I'm gonna let this go but The final straw was when we had finally lined up the baby's sleep with our own. You know, you're on this thing and you're trying to ride the waves... The baby is full he has passed out me and my wife were dying to pass out as well and it's about 4am Well right in the middle of my first REM cycle probably 415
