I was very underwhelmed by the medical system,
realizing modern medicine doesn't really aim
to heal people. It just aims to keep them sick,
keep them dependent on medications, keep them
dependent on the system. My guest today is Dr.
Ahmad Amoos. Dr. Amoos is a dedicated internal
medicine physician whose innovative approach
to healthcare challenges the conventions of modern
medicine. by prioritizing root cause healing
over mere symptom suppression. He has a bachelor's
degree in chemistry and earned his doctor of
medicine from the American University of Beirut
before completing his residency in internal medicine
at Staten Island University in New York. Disillusioned
by the pharmaceutical -centric model of contemporary
practice that owns Western culture, Dr. Ammous
navigates decentralized practices, including
nutrition, quantum biology, and natural medicine,
emerging as an advocate for holistic optimization
that blends time -tested traditional healing
modalities with cutting -edge scientific therapeutics.
Through his practice at ammousmd .com, He empowers
patients to achieve vibrant health without the
reliance on pills, offering personalized strategies
to address chronic conditions and enhance overall
well -being, all while fostering an accessible
community via free email list for those eager
to explore his transformative thoughts. Dr. Amou
shares wonderful insights about decentralized
medicine and decentralized money. and exposes
the profit mills that infiltrate Western healthcare.
It is doctors like him that put the oath seriously
and puts humanity over profits. And now, my conversation
with Dr. Ahmad Amoose. Usually it's just autism,
but I'm very fascinating and I really like the
idea of people learning about the profiteering
with centralized medicine and centralized banking
because that's heavily involved with autism.
I mean, I have some experience. Yes. Yes. It's
unfortunately that the disease that or a condition
that, you know, medicine profits a lot from,
you know. Yeah, there's a lot of profit behind
autism. Talk about your medical background and
your journey. And then Because if I'm not mistaken
you you did some residency during COVID times,
too Yeah, so I'm an internal medicine physician
when I was in medical school, you know, I worked
so hard to get into medical school I was very
underwhelmed by the medical system realizing
That modern medicine doesn't really aim to heal
people it just aims to keep them sick, keep them
dependent on medications, keep them dependent
on the system just so you can maximize the profit
that you make off them. And it was really a very
hard time for me in medical school because, you
know, everything I've wanted throughout my life
was to become a doctor. And all of a sudden,
I realized that we don't really help people.
And it was a hard time for me. I thought about
quitting many times. Maybe I should just go learn
on my own. What's the point of studying medicine
if all I'm doing is just pushing toxic pills
on people? But I decided to stick to it. I thought
having the credential will be helpful on the
long run. And I now kind of on my own studied
the things that actually help people get better.
And I try and help people heal themselves that
way rather than through pills and medications.
At what point did you understand like what was
your training and so forth is not doing any help?
And also what percent of your training or generally
speaking the medical school training is false?
It's hard to say what percentage it is but the
entire premise is built on something wrong. So
it could be up to a hundred percent of what we're
taught is wrong The the physiology of the body
that we're taught. Okay makes sense, but then
the principle of Things can be fixed by giving
a pill that is just completely false the entire
premise of Western allopathic medicine is that
there is some sort of abnormality in signaling
in the body and if you introduce a a pill to
address that abnormal signaling, you can heal
that condition. Well, the abnormal signaling
is just a mechanism for the body to indicate
that there is an issue somewhere. Like your joints
hurt, the issue is not the pain that you're feeling,
the issue is that there's inflammation in the
joints, and the pain is a signal for you to do
something about it. Or if you have bad back posture,
your back hurts, The disease is not the pain.
The pain is just an indicator to you that your
posture is wrong and you need to fix that. But
what medicine does is that it examines that and
sees that there's an abnormal pathway in the
back or in the knees that's causing this pain.
And if we give a medication that just numbs that
pain, then that's considered a cure. But in reality,
you haven't really done anything to address the
root cause. So if you if you explain it like
that, it doesn't seem that difficult to understand
But the paradigm has such a strong hold on our
population that the status quo just keeps remaining
What do you think is the like the transition
out of that? Yeah, so that's a very good question
I mean, there's a lot of people that kind of
understand the system's corrupt but feel that
you know, we're we're we're Helpless in front
of it. Yeah For me, the problem runs at a much
deeper level and the problem is to start with
the economic system. So why is the system corrupt
and why does the system stay in place if it is
corrupt? The system continues to be propagated
through central control, through the government.
the government is supporting the healthcare system
and keeping it the way it is. And why does the
government have this endless power to do what
it pleases? The reason is that the government
has access to unlimited amounts of money. And
it gets that money not through your taxes. They
don't really care about your taxes. They get
it through their ability to print money out of
nowhere. And this started in the early 20th century
when the Federal Reserve was created and we went
off a hard money gold standard. So that in essence
means that all the money that's circulating around,
all the US dollars are just paper bills that
are backed by nothing. And if the government
wants to initiate something, wants to initiate
a project, they can just print more US dollars.
Like you can just print something, you know,
a printout from your computer. But does that
money have an actual value backing it? No, they're
just creating bills that allows them to buy things
and make themselves more powerful at the expense
of everyone else. So in the case of medicine,
government is using this money to empower itself,
to empower pharmaceutical medicine against what
actually works for people. out of the system
is to opt out and not give them our money and
invest in things that don't empower the system.
And in my opinion, the best way to do it is through
investing in Bitcoin. Okay, can you take us back
a little bit about the connection between the
Federal Reserve and even if you have any information
about Rockefeller, like kind of buying medicine?
Because this site, those timeframes are very
suspicious. Yes, so the Federal Reserve was officially
created in 1913. The major transition in medicine
that happened in 1910 with the publishing of
something called the Flexner Report, F -L -E
-X -N -E -R. Abraham Flexner was this high school
teacher who didn't really have much experience
in medicine. He was hired by the Rockefeller
Foundation and other institutions at that time
in order to create a report to try and standardize
the practice of medicine. You know, on paper
it sounds great, you know, we're going to try
and standardize everything, make sure everything
goes through the right loops, everything is kosher,
etc. But what actually ended up happening is
Flexner recommended that all medical schools
that are not teaching pharmaceutical medicine
all these medical schools be shut down. So before
that, going to a doctor meant you can either
go to maybe a naturopath, an osteopath, a chiropractor,
a homeopath. All of these were valid physicians
and pharmaceutical allopathic doctors. It was
a free market process. You go to the type of
doctor that you believed worked for you. With
the Flexner Report, all these other fields of
medicine were just shut down. And later it was
clear that Flexner had strong ties to the pharmaceutical
industry. And this entire thing was funded by
the pharmaceutical companies. Why did Flexner
have the power to go and shut down 50 % of medical
schools? Well, because he was backed by the American
Medical Association. and the U .S. government.
And why did the U .S. government become so powerful
at that time? Well, because it was around the
same time that the Federal Reserve was created
and they suddenly had unlimited amounts of money
and unlimited access to power. If I'm not mistaken
too, they were just kind of pissed off at Teddy
Roosevelt and this was kind of their response.
Yes, something like that. Yeah, I think, yeah.
When did you get into the quantum biology aspects
and how? Yeah, I mean my major my major upgrade
in health was during medical school. I switched
to like a paleo diet. I basically stopped eating
Processed foods sugar I was just eating real
foods meat fruits and vegetables and I felt immediately
a lot better on that I think Improving diet can
only take you so much that after a while I started,
you know, experimenting and trying to understand
what is the next level of improving health. And
that's when I bumped into the work of Dr. Jack
Cruz. And I kind of understood how important
our light environment that we live in is. And
it might be, you know, as strong or even stronger
effect on our bodies than diet. Yeah, he says
that the only difference between us and a tree
is We have to frequently eat or regularly eat
because we're not rooted into the earth's atmosphere
and receiving all those nutrition And it makes
sense to because diets are very inconsistent
for the most part the kind of ebb and flow with
people Sometimes they work sometimes they don't
but I Just recently or this this morning I saw
a post about the surgeon general in 1902. Let's
see if I can pull it up. About talking about
red light as medicine. And it was very fascinating
to me. That's not pulling up. I don't know if
I can show it. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. blue light and
red light as medicine. And it's from the office
of the surgeon general. So why do you think,
can you just take me through why light is more
important than the food in your estimation? Yeah,
it's as important or more important. And the
reason is it's actually quite a fundamental issue
in our understanding of the body, that it's a
shame that nobody in medicine talks about it,
that it's such a fringe theory. But the way your
body makes energy, it doesn't actually make energy
from food. If you look at the amount of energy
that you make from food, from this process called
ATP synthesis and ATP breakdown, it's nowhere
enough to generate all the energy that your cells
need. So what does your cell actually use to
generate energy? Well, it uses light that acts
on melanin. Melanin is not just a compound that
gives us the skin color, the skin tan. It's actually
a compound present in each and every cell of
our body. And melanin uses light energy to break
down water, to break down water into electrons
and protons. And this generates an electric current
that powers every function in the cell. So this
is how powerful light is. Light is the energy
source of the cell. Food only acts as a backbone,
as sort of biomass, in order to generate things
to regenerate the cell. If you wanna make more
cells, if you wanna make a cell membrane, if
you wanna make a new tissue in the cell, That's
what food is used. But where the actual energy
comes from is from light energy. Why this is
especially relevant to us over the last 20, 30
years is now with the invention of artificial
light, especially blue LED light, we are living
most of our life indoors. We are exposed to artificial
light, which doesn't supply the entire spectrum
of light that your body needs. and we're not
getting exposed to as much sun as we need to.
And so that means that this energy generation
process that melanin does is not being optimized.
And this probably explains so many of our modern
diseases because we're not getting the right
light input that we should get. Okay, yeah. Yeah,
I'm on board with that for sure. I was introduced...
with Jack Cruz's work because of Tetragrammaton
in April 2023 and it kind of changed my life.
I get into, because I also want to talk about
cholesterol and thyroid problems and the profiteering
and the pill uses behind that. But I want to
talk more about melanin right now first. Is the
melanin that interacts with water, is it both
intracellular and extracellular water? And is
the extracellular water easy water? Yeah, so
it's the the melanin is mostly intracellular
Easy water is also structured through UV light
from the Sun and that's how you know That's how
you maintain You maintain shards separation and
that drives a lot That's how you get blood to
your tissues is through this maintenance of easy
water around your membranes so Light is very
important in structuring this easy water inside
the cell, melanin acts on the water inside the
cell to change it into charged water, which is
actually in the plasma state. So it's different
than easy water. Gerald Pollock, who wrote about
this, you know, easy water, labels it as the
fourth phase of water. But he was actually, he
later wrote that, no, it's not actually the easy
water, the fourth phase of water. The fourth
phase of water, which is plasma, that's what
we get inside the cell from what melanin does.
Okay. Recently I asked you a question on X and
I asked you if all cells have melanin and can
you... Is that correct? All cells have melanin?
Yes. That's not well known though, is it? It's
not well known, no. It's... Modern medicine just
doesn't think about it this way. Modern medicine
just thinks of things as biochemistry, molecules
and compounds and carbohydrates. It doesn't think
to the next level, which is photons, light, light
energy. And the only researcher who's really
done some work about this is the author of the
melanin, the master molecule book. He's in Mexico.
Very good book for people to read. It's not very
well written. It needs a lot of editing. But
yeah, he goes into research about that. And the
interesting thing is melanin is a molecule that
you can't really isolate because it has parts
of it that are plasma based. So there's no real
like one molecule that's melanin. There are multiple
things that attach to this melanin molecule,
it changes structure based on what it interacts
with. So it's very interesting. Is that because
it's typically black and it absorbs all the spectrum?
Yes, and depending on the spectrum that it gets,
it changes structure and the moment you try and
isolate it, it breaks down. Okay. Can you can
you help me understand the differences between
melanin like what's synthesized through tyrosine
and melanocytes? So melanocytes also have melanin
that you see in your skin here, but also that
melanin you is present in every cell as well
Okay, okay, but the that's different than melatonin
Yeah, which is yes, which is a sleep hormone
not related to melanin. Yeah. Okay. So what's
the differences between like neuromelanin and
the other two types of melanin besides the color
aspect? Yeah, it's different. Different tissues
have different requirements for how the melanin
acts. And so that's how their difference is.
And actually the difference in structures are
not so clear because the structure of melanin
itself is not clear. So that's as far as I know
about it. to be honest. Okay, okay. That makes
sense, though. It's very adaptable, it sounds
like. Yes. The most fascinating part about this
is that this is the easiest way to understand
how our bodies are more than just, you know,
what you eat and what you drink. How are you
sensitive to the energies around you? Why can
you tell if someone is staring at you from the
background? What is that? Where is that energy
coming from? And this is the power of, you know,
call it plasma, call it energy, call it radiance,
call it... This is how it affects your cell.
It affects melanin at a deeper level in every
one of ourselves. Okay. the roles within like
the ventricular areas, like this substantia nigra,
especially the pars compacta and the locus coeruleus.
Those are both like midbrain areas, if I'm not
mistaken. And that's very key in autism, I think,
because the midbrain's main goal is to orient
the attention of the living organism to the environment.
And obviously autistics, struggle with that big
time. And I think maybe there's some, like, relay
issues going on there. I don't know. Yeah, I
mean, so in my opinion, autism is, autism happens
in people that are a little bit blessed to be,
their bodies are very sensitive to their environment.
So they are very sensitive to input that they
get from their environment. Also, their detox
system is not as good as other people. as the
rest of us. Our detoxification system currently,
they are on hyperdrive compared to when we used
to live in nature. So in nature, you weren't
exposed to toxins all the time. You're exposed
to a toxin if you eat a piece of fruit and it
turns out to be rotten. some animal has defecated
in the water that you eventually drink this is
how you were exposed to toxins so it wasn't a
daily assault of toxins but now because we live
in a you know industrialized society where we're
exposed to toxins all the time toxins in food
toxins in water toxins in the air we breathe
physical toxins as well as energetic toxins like
electromagnetic frequencies all these things
so your detox system is just running on hyperdrive
at 10 ,000 times the levels that it would have
in nature. And I think with autistic people,
this ability to detoxify isn't as strong as or
the ability to increase the detoxification ability
is not as strong as the average Joe. And that's
why they struggle more with toxicity. Whether
it's heavy metal toxicity, food toxicity, or
light and electromagnetic frequency toxicity?
Yeah, there's an interesting perspective that
post vaccines, you know, obviously, the vaccines
are a problem with that topic. But before, because
autism was here, there's this kind of shift in
the environment, I think is the big cause of
that. And it's hard for people to kind of zoom
out and look at that because All we see now is
just the nefarious harms of like this fact schedule
and then these rates and so forth. Can you tell
me a little bit about, and you can speak on that
too, but antioxidants role with melanin, melatonin,
and DHA? Yeah, so melanin is the best antioxidants
in the body. You generate melanin from the sun,
you are able to detoxify everything, including
heavy metals. And so the main problem we have
right now, you see all these influencers online
telling people you need sun, you need sun, you
need sun. It's not because our ancestors, like
a hundred years ago, people were not in the sun
for four hours a day. They stayed indoors, but
their levels of exposure to toxins weren't as
much as we are today. So we... We need a lot
more antioxidants to deal with all the chemicals
we're dealing with, all the EMF we're dealing
with, and melanin is the best molecule to do
that. And it does that by energetically activating
all these detox processes by splitting water
for them. It's able to generate more energy for
the cell. This is a lot better way of detoxing
than, you know, taking it in a pill. Because
even any of these antioxidants, including vitamin
C, in order to process them, your body requires
digestive enzymes and your body needs kind of
energy and enzymes to break it down before they
can give any of their antioxidant activities.
Yeah, and then the bioavailability comes in play.
How about, can you speak a little bit on melatonin's
role in mitochondria or no? Yeah, so melatonin,
most people think of melatonin as just a sleep
hormone that your body releases in order to get
you sleepy. But it's actually a lot more important
than that. So 95 % of melatonin in the body is
made during the day. It's not just made in the
brain. It's made in the mitochondria throughout
the body so every mitochondria in your body is
making melatonin and this melatonin is also a
very powerful antioxidant agent and It also it
has anti cancer properties helps with cell cell
reproduction and cell growth So melatonin is
very important you generate melatonin through
sun exposure during the day This is the ultimate
way to do it. And, you know, ask anyone who goes
to the beach. You feel a lot sleepier at night
if you spent the entire day at the beach. And
the reason is, the sun, your body uses it to
generate melatonin the entire day, and by night
you have this huge load of melatonin that helps
you sleep. And the more melatonin that you've
made during the day, the more it can act as an
antioxidant and help cleanse the body while you're
sleeping. Okay. A very important thing about
this too is if you are exposed to artificial
light at night after sunset, blue light, it destroys
that melatonin that your body was making the
entire day. And so that's why there's a lot of
people that, you know, feel sleepy, and then
the sun goes down, the artificial lights go up,
and you no longer feel sleepy. You get this burst
of energy at 10 p .m. or 9 p .m. whenever the
fake lights come out. and that's because the
artificial blue light suppresses melatonin and
increases cortisol levels. Through POMPSE, correct?
Can you talk about that process a little bit?
Yes, so POMPSE is a gene in your brain and it
is controlled by the light that you see and it
acts to break down several molecules to generate
the most important neurotransmitters that we
need, including dopamine, melatonin, norepinephrine,
epinephrine. The switchboard to generate these
hormones, which modern medicine says nothing
about this, is light. So the light that you see
controls the hormones that you release. And this
entire process, everything in your body, including
the generation of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone,
all the important hormones in the body, that
process is controlled by light. Because, you
know, the genius of the human body realizes that
this is the metronome of the body. You know,
you base everything according to it. You know,
there's a certain time where you're more likely
going to need to be active. There's more time
that you need to be more likely you're going
to be sexually active. All these things are timed
by light. The problem arises is when you we've
hijacked the system through exposure to artificial
light You're just under artificial light all
the day that your The system doesn't know how
to function and that's when malfunctions happen
Timing cortisol people think about cortisol is
a stress response or stress hormone, but it's
more a vehicle to distribute energy molecules
across the body Yes on a percent. I mean you
need cortisol for all sorts of functions in the
body and It's the timing of it the peaks of it
that matters and it's not just it has important
functions throughout the throughout the day Yeah,
it's and it's anti -correlated with melatonin.
Yes, so yeah a main problem we have these days
is At night, because of artificial light exposure,
our cortisol levels just go up because when you're
exposed to blue light, blue light does not exist.
Blue light in nature only comes from the sun.
So for us, when we see blue light, that means
that the sun is out. Our biology for thousands
of years have evolved under in an environment
where the only blue light we were exposed to
was from the sun. All of a sudden you've gotten
this blue light and it's indoors available 24
-7. And what happens if you turn on those artificial
blue lights after sunset in your house is all
of a sudden your body just sees this blue light
and oh, it's noon again. So what does it do when
it's noon? What do you need to do when it's noon?
You need energy in order to keep on with your
day. So your body just releases this cortisol.
At the same time, when it's noon, you don't need
melatonin. Melatonin is for sleep, so it suppresses
the synthesis of melatonin. And all of a sudden,
you are back and up again and up and awake. And
that's why a lot of people have issues with sleep.
And even if they do fall asleep, the quality
of the sleep is a lot poorer because Your cortisol
is high, so you're waking up at night a lot.
And the melatonin is low, so you're not getting
into the deep states of sleep, the deep detoxifying
states of sleep. Yeah, there's no recovery. There's
no reset. There's no reset, yeah. And I've seen
it in a lot of autistic patients that their sleep
cycles also tend to be pretty off. Yeah. And
that all goes with the entire, you know, circadian
biology mismatch. Yeah. Well, I really wouldn't
mind circling back to the electron transport
chain, because what light is is electromagnetic.
Can you talk a little bit about the roles of
that light and the electrons and the protons,
as you mentioned, and that oxidative phosphorylation
or the electron transport chain? Yes, very important.
Yeah, very important. Not only is light acting
on melanin, which generates the energy for the
cell, this oxidative phosphorylation, which breaks
down food and breaks down ATP, which generate
currents for the entire cell for how cell membranes
operate, and it controls the energy of generating
new carbohydrates, proteins, fats to regenerate
cells and regenerate tissue. This oxidative phosphorylation
process happens through these compounds called
cytochromes. Cytochromes are specific ion channels
that control the flow of ions in this oxidative
phosphorylation. Because what the process is
and what all chemical reactions are, are transfers
of electrons. And these cytochromes, they're
actually light sensitive. So they are more efficient
when they're exposed to red light. and they are
less efficient when they're exposed to blue light.
So that's why, you know, your ability to generate
energy in the cell is optimized when you're exposed
to sunlight. And it is worsened if you are just
exposed to blue light on its own. These cytochromes,
the worst thing for them is being exposed to
blue light in isolation because that didn't exist
in nature. the blue light in nature always existed
with either UV light or red and infrared light.
So the cytochromes work best when they've given
the entire spectrum, not when they're given blue
light in isolation. That makes the entire energy
generation process ineffective. And that's actually
another way that free radicals accumulate is
when this oxidative phosphorylation process is
not as efficient as it should be. R .O .S. Correct.
Is that one of the roles of melanin and definitely
it seems like melatonin in the matrix? Yes, getting
rid of these reactive oxygen species. And so
if you have to be exposed to blue light, say
at work or from screens, make sure you're also
getting a lot of sunlight because that will help
you get rid of all these reactive oxygen species
all these three radicals that were generated
because of the artificial light exposure. Okay.
And then I like to kind of reverse engineer ATP
synthase. You talked about the electron transport
chain, but before that is the TCA cycle, which
if I'm not mistaken, the sunlight will help make
it more catabolic because it's also anabolic.
And whenever it's not, let's say, And I'm just
kind of loosely talking here. Even if it is catabolic,
is there a different level of efficiency that
it spends at? And if it's slowed down, even though
it's catabolic, it can still create bottlenecks
because there's a lot of bottlenecks happening
within the matrix. Yes, yes. This entire process
is. a lot more efficient if you're exposed to
the right light and you give it the right fuel
in food. And clogs in the system are fake light,
toxins, bad food. They're all just making this
energy generation process less efficient. And,
you know, this is a fundamentally much deeper
way of looking at disease. You know, it's not
just an issue of, oh, it's a heart dysfunction.
No, it's an issue with Mitochondria and energy
generation throughout the body, but it's just
manifesting in the heart Autism is an issue with
energy generation throughout the cell, but it's
manifesting in brain and brain patterns and brain
So that's a that's the way to think about it.
And that's the way you heal the body completely
Yeah all of these uh we we we view things downstream
and they all look confusing but if you go upstream
to these electrons and protons and so forth it
starts to make a lot more sense it's just the
disease will show up like like the heart disease
and so forth which is might be a good topic to
talk about because i want to talk about cholesterol
uh the shifts and guidelines and the use of statins
and still One of the leading causes of death
is heart disease and heart attacks, even though
everybody's medicated for this. I'll give you
the long story. Cholesterol is probably one of
the biggest scams in the history of medicine,
if not the biggest scam. In the 1950s, there
was an increasing rate of heart disease and heart
attacks in the U .S. All the brightest scientists
went out there to try and figure out what the
cause was. Then came this researcher by the name
of Ancel Keys, and he did a study where he plotted
the rate of saturated animal fat intake and heart
attacks for seven countries. And he showed that
as there is an increase in rate of eating animal
fats, also did the rate of heart disease. This
study was like a revelation then because people
thought, oh, we finally discovered what the cause
of all these heart attacks is. It's because people
are eating too much butter, too much full milk,
too much meat, too much fat. Later, many years
later, Keyes admitted that he omitted many countries
from his study just so the results fit the model.
so he was searching for that answer and The reason
the study became so popular it was because it
was taken up by two important industries the
first one is the vegetable seed oil manufacturers
who made a lot of money making cheap vegetable
seed oils from plant seeds that people don't
use and They used the cholesterol hypothesis
as a way to convince people that stop eating
butter, stop eating lard, instead you should
just use processed vegetable seed oils. And,
you know, they made huge amounts of money that
way, and they gave money back to all the dietary
guidelines societies, any researcher that would
keep propagating this animal fat is bad idea.
Okay? So that was the first people to use that.
The second was the cholesterol medication pharmaceutical
companies made. So in the 1950s and 60s, there
was this, it's called the Framingham study. It
was based in Massachusetts. And it was made basically
like a very healthy community that people, researchers
started following to see if there are patterns
of which people developed heart disease, which
people developed cancer, et cetera. And the initial
results from the 50s and 60s showed that people
with high cholesterol were at a higher risk of
getting heart attacks. And so again, people jumped
on that conclusion and the processed food industry
jumped on it. In the 1970s, statins, drugs which
were based on a fungal toxin, fungus made this
toxin that they saw lowers cholesterol in rats.
So they started using it. in people to lower
their blood cholesterol, they started pushing
this medication as, oh, so if high cholesterol
leads to heart disease, then this is the cure.
The studies that they used in order to push statins,
if you analyze them like carefully, analyze the
cystics in them, you see that they were, the
results were very exaggerated. there wasn't that
much of a benefit from using statins. And all
of the myriad side effects that statins cause,
these studies just ignore them. And so, all of
a sudden, you have statins become the highest
selling drug class in history. And it was the
first drug in history to be prescribed just based
on a blood test. You go to your doctor, They
find that your cholesterol is high now you qualify
for a medication So as a business model, it's
quite genius, but how much it helps people? Not
so much Yeah I of course, you know being my age
and health risk was prescribed statins and I
took them for a couple of years and I don't take
them anymore and my lipid panel is so -called
abnormal for the guidelines, such as, I'll just
share, LDL is like 220, 250, but everything else
is pretty much okay. The ratio is not good because
of that higher LDL, but the ratio guidelines
suck. Like the triglycerides are good and everything,
but the studies out of like Harvard recently,
LMHR, I think, lean mass hyperactive. reactivity
or something I don't know it's like it seems
like they're on it more so than the guidelines
are on it because correct me if I'm wrong some
of these guidelines have changed too since like
the 70s like your LDL rates or your blood pressure
rates and so forth it's a very it's a very very
effective model where so if you say that abnormal
blood pressure is above is above 160 over 100
then you have maybe 5 % of the population that
qualifies for blood pressure medications. If
10 years later, you lower it to 140 over 80,
then you have 25 % of the population that can
qualify for medications. So you are increasing
your revenue astronomically. And they did the
same thing for LDL, which is the so -called bad
cholesterol. They kept lowering the threshold
so that more and more people can qualify for
medications. Again, modern medicine is corrupt.
the societies that set these guidelines are directly
funded by pharmaceutical companies. And this
is just how this keeps propagating and keeps
happening. The guidelines always come or change
post hoc. Like they create this environment or
these conditions and suddenly more and more...
people will kind of fit into that and then they'll
change the guidelines. That's true also in autism.
That's why the autism is, there's so much money
behind autism. So the more... Go ahead. To go
back into your LDL values, actually, so studies
that, eventually the Framingham studies, the
results that came back after that in the 70s
and 80s, showed that actually people with higher
cholesterol and higher LDL, had higher longevity
than people with lower cholesterol. And it makes
sense because, you know, your brain feeds on
cholesterol. And most of us are people die in
older age because of dementia, because of other
brain condition or nervous system conditions.
The rates of dementia is very concerning too,
and I think tied to your light story. Yes, light
is a very important player in dementia. Cholesterol
medication statins are also lead to memory loss.
There's a very good book about this called the
Staton the Thief of Memory. Very interesting
book that this doctor who he was actually a NASA,
he was a doctor in NASA. And so he would go to,
he was an astronaut in NASA. And he would go
to the... He went for a routine medical at NASA.
And they told him, oh, your cholesterol is high.
You need to be put on a statin. So he takes the
medication. All of a sudden, he starts getting
these episodes where he just forgets everything.
He doesn't know where he is. He doesn't know
his wife. Doesn't know anything around him. And
his wife is like, do you think this might be
related to the medication? Just stop it. So he
goes and stops it. And the episodes stop. He
again goes to his doctor. His doctor is like,
no, your numbers are dangerous. You need to be
put back on it. Memory issues unrelated. These
memory issues start to happen again. And so he
stops the statins and then he writes the book
about it. And I see it in my practice so often,
like so many of the dementia patients have been
on statins for, you know, 40, 50 years. And that's
the reason why their memory is so bad. And I
have a personal experience where my grandfather
was put on a statin without me knowing. And I
go over to visit him. It's only been like a week
since he's been on it. And he was a completely
different human being. He was unaware of what
was happening. He would try and drink from a
cup even though there's nothing in the cup. He
was really losing it. And my family was freaking
out. He was in his 80s. So I just looked and
I figured out he was put on this medication and
I stopped it and the next day he was better.
Immediately. It's that fast. And also, if I'm
not mistaken, the statins implicate obiquonol
or CoQ10 in cytochrome 2. Maybe that helps cytochrome
2 feed into cytochrome 3 if I'm not mistaken.
statins work is that they block this important
pathway in the body called the malavinate pathway.
And this is the pathway that generates cholesterol
eventually. But it also generates so many important
compounds in the body, like CoQ10, like so many
other compounds in the cell, so many hormones.
And all of a sudden you're losing all of that
when you're put on statins. And so the cell's
ability to generate energy at the much at a very
fundamental level is affected when people are
put on statins. Maybe even with like the sodium
potassium pumps and yep okay it sounds like maybe
that was the case because the the cells aren't
having those ion reactions. So tell me a little
bit about Let's see You said earlier like the
heart problems really increased in 1950s, do
you know any environmental cause or Maybe some
reasons why because I wrote down here. Was it
like the CFL lights? Yeah, so I mean in general
diseases started in general with the invention
of the artificial bulb this was the end of the
19th century Just even the incandescent bulb,
that still wasn't good because people were exposed
to a lot of fake light at night. So that was
the beginning. Vegetable seed oils were also
invented in the 50s, 60s. So that was another
player. And also, this isn't talked about enough,
but the increased electrification of just life
in general, the increased amount of electromagnetic
frequencies we're exposed to, that also showed
up at that point. time so it's hard to pinpoint
which one of these is the direct player but all
of them combined are the reasons we live in the
reasons diseases increased in that century yeah
okay i was thinking about diet and big food big
food is no different than like big tech or big
corp or centralized government i don't think
they're just so powerful They're very powerful
and it again ties to the money problem where
once we separated off the gold standard in the
US, all of a sudden what happened is people lost
a lot of their purchasing power. So government
kept printing money. So that means your money
is less valuable. So how would the government
try and hide that so that they can continue their
money printing agenda? Because, you know, when
they print money, the money goes to them. It
doesn't come to you and me. All of a sudden,
groceries started becoming more and more expensive.
You know, a pound of meat went from one pound
to one dollar to five dollars. And how do they
hide that? Well, they did a very smart thing,
which is to convince people that, oh, no, you
don't need to eat meat and full fat milk and
butter. No, eat this processed crap that's very
cheap to make. And so your $1 now can still buy
you cheap vegetable seed oil, but it can't buy
you butter. But if they tell you that butter
is bad for you, that's a way they can hide the
effects of inflation. That goes back to the mitochondria
story, I think, because butter is very powerful
for generating ATP. more so than any other food.
Fats, then proteins, and then carbohydrates are
last. Because I think the glycolysis process
is nine little steps there just to make the pyruvate.
And one gram of carbohydrate I think only makes
36 ATP. And it's a very long process, the carbohydrate.
It's very cheap food. very cheap food, you're
replacing it with the vegetable seed oils and
what vegetable seed oils do is they actually
replace the fatty acids in your own cell membranes
and in your own mitochondrial membranes and so
your entire balance of energy in the cell depends
on proper gradients in the cell and if you mess
it up by eating too many of these processed hydrogenated
vegetable seed oils you're unable to generate
energy as efficiently in the cell. And that's
why vegetable seed oils are so dangerous and
they affect every part of the body. Huge connection
with sun burning and melanoma. 100%. There's
no really direct studies showing how vegetable
seed oils lead to sunburn in humans. But there
are studies showing that mice exposed to artificial
or fed vegetable seed oils more easily get UV
damage in their skin. And it's because their
cell membranes are replaced by less sturdy cell
membranes. Okay. Can you tell me as a practicing
medical doctor, the kind of the push -pull tactic
of medicine and health insurance? It's quite
complex actually, but the most important thing
to know about this is in healthcare, you are
no longer the customer. The patient is no longer
the customer. The hospital gets paid from the
insurance company, so they don't really care
about what you think of their service. They only
care about how to package this so that the insurance
company pays them, okay? So it's like you're
just a participant in this process, but you're
not actually the client. So whether you get better,
whether you're impressed by the service, the
doctor and the hospital don't care. They just
care about what the insurance company thinks.
On another level, the way insurance companies
work is that they get a certain copay or percentage
from whatever medical bill that you end up getting.
So, the hospital benefits from you having a very
high bill because they're gonna get that money
from the insurance company. But actually the
insurance company itself also benefits from that
bill being high because what the insurance company
ends up making is say, you know, 2 % of the bill.
So they want that bill to be higher. And so if
in most people, their insurance doesn't cover
everything in the bill, the copay that they end
up paying is just so high because it benefits
both the hospital and the insurance company for
their bill to be expensive. So just like earlier
with the money problem, how do we get out of
that? The reason the system is so big is because,
again, it's centrally planned. The biggest payer
for insurance in the U .S. is the U .S. government
through Medicare, through Medicaid, through Social
Security. So dismantling this enormous government
through when you stop powering them with their
U .S. dollars and instead go into Bitcoin. This
will just make that system a lot smaller so that
we then go back into a system where you pay your
doctor directly. And when you pay your doctor
directly, which a lot of clinics are starting
to do, you are liable to the patient and you
want what's good for them and that attracts more
of these patients to you. Patients want to come
to the doctor that actually cares about them
rather than just cares about... Having the insurance
company be be happy, you know It kind of makes
sense I do psychology and a Lot of psychologists
will this rather do self -pay instead of Yeah,
and they love it. They absolutely love it. They
don't have to mess around with the insurance
It's it's a messy game. It's a really messy game
and There are there's a there's a clinic in in
Oklahoma, it's called the surgical clinic of
Oklahoma or something like that, that charges
people a fixed rate for a procedure. So it's,
you know, hysterectomy is $5 ,000, that's it.
Even the complications, they would pay for it
afterwards. So in that way, doctors are favored
not to have complications. And at the same time,
you as a patient know what you're signing up
for. And if you don't like the surgeon, you're
going to give them a bad review and people won't
come back to it. You're not forced to use that
physician because your insurance company tells
you to do so. Because in most cases, that's how
doctors get business is through their insurance
companies. Yeah. It's like, do you accept my
insurance? That's how we find our doctors, find
doctors in the network. And yeah, doctors...
hospitals have contracts with insurance companies
and certain hospitals have certain contracts
with certain companies and it's just a mess.
It's not a free market. Is there anything else
you'd like to add about autism in your history
or anything that we haven't covered? Yeah, I
think an important thing for autism is light
exposure, getting a lot of sun. fixing the sleep.
I think it's very easy for people with autism
to get into the scrolling mindset and just keep
scrolling their day away. And because there's
a dopamine hit that you get every time you scroll.
And people should be very aware of that. Make
sure that you're only scrolling a particular
time for a particular period of time. limits
on how long applications are allowed on your
phone. All these things are going to help balance
the neurotransmitters in your brain so that you're
more effective talking to people, communicating
with people, working, focusing on your work rather
than just focusing on scrolling. Yeah, circuiting
your rhythm is very important. This is a foundation
of life. It doesn't matter what, if it's autism,
if it's whatever. So getting biology is foremost.
Yeah. And also, you know, diet is very important.
I know a lot of autistic people that really don't
care about their diet. That's a very important
place to start. You don't have to go too extreme.
You don't have to go carnivore or keto. Something
like the Paleo diet is very simple to apply.
Cut out processed foods, cut out sugar. Cut out
vegetable seed oils and you'll immediately feel
an improvement in your mental and physical health
Yeah, 100 % of autistics have some sort of problem
with gastrointestinal tract. Yes. Yes That's
often the biggest help is fixing the gastrointestinal
tract. Yes Okay, yeah Dr. Amuse, I appreciate
you joining and it was very fascinating conversating
with you on X because I've learned so much and
I want to keep learning from you. Thanks, Ryan.
I appreciate you having me. I would like to take
a moment and mention a pressing issue we are
seeing in our modern world. And that is tech
use and tech light. The data are impressive.
and concerning on isolated wavelengths of light
especially shorter wavelengths which is blue
light. For those that don't know we have chromophores
which are special proteins that absorbs specific
wavelengths of light. For blue light the light
that is LED light and tech light that protein
is called melanopsin. Melanopsin is responsible
for our circadian biology, physiology and cell
functioning, hormone regulation, and even a connection
to an area huge for mood. A consideration we
should include is this protein was not even discovered.
until 1998. It seems important for us to understand
how our biology uses the different wavelengths
of light for various aspects of our biology.
This blue light chromophore is our master controller,
our master clock. Remember, circadian rhythm
is a two -part process two independent parts,
light and dark. For a quick reference, see the
2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
But for now, I have something exciting. I want
to introduce a product unlike any other product
available. A highlight is the product from Daylight
Computer Company. created their product based
on these factors. The daylight computer is completely
blue light free. It has no flicker. Short wavelength
flicker is extremely harmful for our eyes and
downstream biology. Light flicker is constantly
turning our central nervous system on and off.
Essentially, It is like going to a light switch
and repeatedly turning it on and off. The problem
is blue light and LED light does this and it
is so rapid you cannot even perceive this in
real time. The daylight computer is the lowest
stimulation and foremost for sensory sensitive
users. It is no question that the alternative
product especially when used at night do not
address or consider this in their product. It
is so toxic to human biology. Big tech corporations
have patents on how their short wavelength implicate
the human nervous system. And a bonus, despite
daylight computer not having backlight, It is
very functional for outdoor use. And of course,
increased sunlight is always preferred. I am
happy to offer a discount for the daylight computer.

lights designed for humans. Chroma, a Seattle
-based innovator founded by ex -NASA and Air
Force engineer Michael Shapiro. is on a mission
to enhance physical and mental health with purpose
-built devices, unlocking peak human health,
cognitive function, and performance. Shapiro
launched Chroma to restore the natural light
lost to screens and indoor living, and delivers
faster recovery, sharper minds, and better sleep.
Their products hit hard. The iron forge speeds
muscle repair with red and near -infrared light,
while the skylight mimics sunlight to boost sleep
and energy. A standout, the forged lamp, is a
portable gem that fires 660 nanometer and 850
nanometer light to energize mitochondria and
heal tissues on the go. Remember the four red
light chromophores on cytochrome c -oxidase frequently
talked about in the podcast? This is why. Their
products are built with military -grade durability
that have lasting impact. Chroma's tech fuses
precision and power. Gallium titride power supplies.
Smaller, cooler, and stronger than silicone.
provide flicker -free light that's easy on the
eyes. High -powered LEDs target key wavelengths
for skin, tissue, and cellular health with smart
heat management for the lasting impact. Every
design decision Chroma makes serves a purpose
to create devices that are precise, durable,
and effective for improving human life. Remember,
humans use different wavelengths of light for
different functions of life. Remember when I
ask, what do you think light is? Cromwell designs
