Whats up and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com, and this episode is in regards to the elephant within the room within the well being house and the right way to repair it. And that is in all probability not a subject that you’d guess, and it won’t be the one you’re pondering of, even if you happen to’re guessing. And I’m right here with my pal Ian Clark, who when he was 46 years previous, he had a lot of life-threatening well being points hit him abruptly. And he, like I used to be, was compelled to begin trying to find his personal options. And refusing to simply accept a detrimental end result, he selected a pure path, and he traveled the globe uncovering potent treatments with highly effective pure well being advantages. And after years of intense analysis and supporting his personal physique, his firm Activation Merchandise was born. And we talked about one thing that’s, I really feel, not talked about practically sufficient and positively not on the degree and the nuance that he explains it at the moment on this episode. So undoubtedly hearken to this one in regards to the elephant within the room in the case of well being, and this actually stunning factor that he did and that many individuals are having wonderful outcomes with and that I’ve additionally been experimenting with. So with out additional ado, let’s be part of Ian Clark. Ian, welcome. It’s at all times such a pleasure to get to speak to you, and I’m so glad we get to have this dialog at the moment.
Ian: Katie, yeah, it’s been some time. You’re trying nice.
Katie: Effectively, thanks. Yeah, we’re lengthy overdue for a catch-up. And I really like that we’re going to get to go deep on what I feel are some actually necessary matters at the moment. I feel to begin broad, the title for this episode is in regards to the elephant within the room and the well being house. So I feel that’s the place we begin. What’s the elephant within the room?
Ian: Effectively, the elephant within the room is at all times one thing that isn’t apparent, it seems. We at all times assume that we’d by no means miss the elephant within the room. Nevertheless it comes proper right down to what can we do bodily probably the most. And what are these bodily issues we, these actions we do, how do they have an effect on us? And the one main factor that we do is we breathe 11,000 liters of air per day. Which means we breathe 4 million liters a 12 months. Between the age of 20 and 60, meaning we breathe 160 million liters of air. And everyone knows that the air has nanoparticle pollution in it. And they’re huge in quantity, but they’re invisible. So what you possibly can’t see or odor or style, you’re respiratory.
And we all know that mathematically and scientifically they exist. As a result of we’re driving automobiles which produce large quantities of air pollution like tire mud and brake mud. I’m not so anxious in regards to the gasoline. The automobiles are fairly environment friendly burning gasoline. However the tire mud and the brake mud are two massively enormous issues of those nanoparticles we breathe, they appear like little razor blades. There’s 10 billion kilos of tire mud in the US launched into the ambiance yearly, and it goes a mile and a half above all of the roads the place automobiles drive and vans drive. In order that contamination causes us well being points over time. And fortunately, we all know what the answer is and the right way to repair that downside. However that’s the large elephant within the room that persons are lacking.
Katie: And what are a few of the results that that is having on the human physique? I imply, it is sensible. I’ve at all times thought when it comes to triage, all people will get so involved with what they eat and the dietary supplements they take, which, after all, could be crucial as nicely. However once we have a look at it on an quantity of affect degree, we’re respiratory all day, every single day, even whereas we’re sleeping. Our hydration, I feel, can be necessary as a result of we will go for much longer with out meals than with out water. However air is the one that may kill us the quickest if we don’t have it. And the one which since we’re respiratory all day, every single day, looks as if tremendous necessary. So what are a few of the issues that occur to the physique once we’re getting that buildup of the whole lot from the air?
Ian: Effectively, the very first thing that occurs is whenever you breathe air into your lungs, folks consider their lungs as a balloon as a result of whenever you breathe in, you are feeling this factor fell up and it expands. So whenever you check out a set of lungs, they’re actually chunks of meat. They’re very dense chunks of meat which have all these aeolian pathways to undergo, and it covers about 100 sq. miles of floor space is how a lot the air is referring to the within of your lungs. They’re that advanced. And that air instantaneously is transferred into your bloodstream, which fits on to your coronary heart which then goes on to your mind. After which, it goes all through the remainder of your physique.
And the numbers across the blood are quite simple and necessary. They tie into what that is all about. You could have solely 5 liters or 5 quarts of blood in your physique. So these 5 liters are going to switch by way of your whole physique each 60 seconds. You could have 86,500 heartbeats per day. And also you pump that 5 liters as much as 7,600 liters of blood a day. So the whole lot you’re inhaling, the oxygen, the nitrogen, the helium, all these issues within the air, plus all of the nanoparticulars are going to be transferred to each single cell in your physique, each single minute. And it will definitely accumulates as a result of these nanoparticles are so tiny, it takes years to build up. And as they accumulate in your system, they plug up your filters like your liver and your kidneys notably. And so, when your kidneys get plugged up, they usually measure the standard operation of a set of kidneys in a 20-year-old versus a 60-year-old, the 60-year-old has about 35% effectivity in comparison with the 20-year-old based mostly on this downside.
The opposite factor that occurs is each muscle wall of your whole vascular system, which is round 6,500 miles or 10,000 kilometers, every muscle wall has the peristaltic motion of a pulse, billions and billions of pulses each minute which can be transferring the blood by way of your system, these muscle partitions get crammed up with these pollution. They get jammed in there ultimately, and that’s what causes hardened arteries. Folks take into consideration by way of the studying, which is, such as you talked about, crucial. However what I observed is that every one the individuals who had been actually well being acutely aware, consuming one of the best meals, being acutely aware of their surroundings, ensuring their homes are clear. Ensuring that they’re hydrating, ensuring that they’re meditating, they’re aware, they’re type, proper? They’re doing all of the issues that they need to be doing. Everybody was nonetheless dying on the common age, which I knew meant that we had been lacking one thing very, very massive. As a result of even health-conscious folks have a median age of between 81 and 85 years previous versus people who find themselves not health-conscious averaging between 74 and 79. So relying on what folks had been doing, nicely, that’s not very thrilling.
In the event you may have the organic age of a 25 to a 35-year-old, indefinitely, the place you’re getting really more healthy every single day going ahead, that’s the important thing efficiency indicator that we’re speaking about at the moment that we will obtain. So when your cells plug up, meaning your organs should not functioning as nicely. That signifies that you’re opening up your self to potential illness signs, like coronary heart illness, Alzheimer’s dementia, strokes, coronary heart assaults, cancers, and so forth. As a result of your physique can not proceed to be useful when it has all these contaminants build up. And the blood simply retains distributing it, and the blood system can’t get it out quick sufficient.
The opposite downside now we have is the meals doesn’t have the proper minerals anymore. Effectively, it doesn’t have the proper minerals. Effectively, folks will blame, you understand, the whole lot from the Second World Warfare on the place they did monocropping. That’s an issue, however for 1000’s of years, the minerals have been washed out of the soil already. As a result of distilled water is rain, and that’s a solvent. And it rains on the earth for tens of 1000’s of years, washing the minerals within the soil down into the water desk, and now it’s gone. It goes from the water desk to the streams to the rivers to the tributaries, and it goes out to the ocean.
So what I came upon is an actual easy repair to the issue. Once you go to the ocean and also you get the concentrated licensed pure sea minerals of their broad spectrum, unrefined, of their unique state, and also you devour them in liquid all through the day, like on this glass proper right here, is electrolytic fluid that I make every single day. I batch make it, so I make seven or eight liters of this. So I solely drink two to 3 liters a day of this. However that is the uncooked materials. It seems that your physique makes use of to provide clear blood. And your physique is producing blood 24 hours a day. Nevertheless it doesn’t produce even near sufficient. As a result of it doesn’t have sufficient uncooked materials to provide the quantity of blood that may clear itself out. Your blood depends on the filters, and the filters get plugged up. So the extra that your liver and kidneys lose their effectivity, the sooner the buildup occurs. So whenever you’re younger, you don’t discover it a lot. However by the point you’re 50, 60, it’s like, you discover issues. You’ll discover mind operate, you’ll discover your endocrine system will not be working as nicely, your digestive system, your circulatory, your respiratory, your entire system modifications. It isn’t getting higher.
So, to be able to reverse that, and it took me 15 years to really discover the clue in to what the answer was, and I needed to be suggested. And it was like taking items of the puzzle and eventually getting sufficient items and the large ones that had been lacking to see the image. And I engaged the complete protocol simply after I turned 64 years previous. By the point I turned 65, I used to be residing in a completely completely different physique that’s now measurable to be between a 25 and a 35-year-old organic well being. My cardiovascular system improved dramatically, my digestive system.
So anybody listening and also you your self, Katie, are on the forefront of all this stuff. You already know that the rationale that persons are serious about this stuff is since you need to have a physique that’s in nice situation so long as attainable. As a result of you then could be extra useful as a result of the older you get, the wiser you change into, the extra skilled you’re, the extra precious you’re. So if you happen to get an additional 10 years and one other further 10 years and one other further 10 years, and you retain doing that with these rules, you change into an increasing number of precious on the earth to your family members, to your colleagues, to your mates, to folks you deliver worth to. And that’s the objective, is to remain alive bodily so long as humanly attainable. However the caveat is it’s a must to have exceptionally good well being. As a result of in any other case, if you happen to search for the longest-living folks on Earth, that’s not the image we wish as a result of they appear horrible, after which they die. And the longer they dwell, the extra they endure, and the extra they’re sad till they lastly cross. So this isn’t what we’re speaking about. We’re speaking about getting happier. And having a happier life each single day. And the place you have got nice relationships. So what’s crucial relationship you could have, is the connection with your self. Simply take into consideration you, Katie. What’s your relationship like with your self?
Katie: I’d say I’m very grateful that it’s a lot, significantly better than it was once after years of studying to do issues like audit my self-talk and ask higher questions and make extra loving statements internally. And in addition, by way of a whole lot of the issues that we’ve talked about in previous conversations of nurturing the bodily physique, I feel additionally helps nurture your inside expertise as nicely and vice versa. Prefer it creates very constructive suggestions loops. I feel I’m a lot gentler and kinder to myself than I was. And I additionally assume it’s a journey. So I’m nonetheless, after all, on it and nonetheless studying, however I’m very grateful for the place I’m on this journey proper now.
Ian: Yeah, for positive. And from the time I first met you again in 2012 to at the moment, I see an unlimited enchancment in so many areas of your life due to that actual fact. So we have a look at our our bodies, and I name that physiology as a result of that’s what it’s. So our physiology is our bodily being, our bodily expertise. And you are taking people who find themselves obsessed with any topic, perhaps it’s music or artwork, or perhaps they’re into, you understand, good automobiles or stunning houses or structure or no matter they’ve an curiosity in. What do you do when you are interested in a topic is you study the whole lot you presumably can about that topic.
And so crucial factor to you on this bodily world, on this temporal life now we have, is to know how the physique operates. What are the mechanisms? How can we help our physique’s capacity to keep up itself? As a result of we will help the upkeep, however our physique is robotically sustaining itself. So these rules begin within the physiological world. Lots of people say, “Oh, you understand, I need to change the outcomes.” You already know, lots of people have unhealthy pores and skin, or they’ve poor digestion, or they get coronary heart illness or they get most cancers. And people present up because the outcomes on the very high of the pyramid. Effectively, on the backside of the pyramid is the physiology. However on the high of the pyramid is the signs and the ends in the physiological world. Effectively, what’s in between your physiology on the backside and the highest is you have got streams of knowledge. Your physique is producing, you possibly can think about the quantity of knowledge going by way of. It’s greater than any pc system ever. Each system in your physique is speaking to your mind, which is speaking again by way of the center and the intestine. And that system must be optimized.
So folks say, “Effectively, your conduct is poor, you have got unhealthy conduct. You’re not consuming proper, you’re not doing this, you’re not doing that, you’re not getting correct sleep, you’re not managing your stress.” You possibly can level in any respect the issues that persons are doing unsuitable within the behavioral world, and that’s why you’re getting unhealthy outcomes. That’s true. You possibly can’t inform someone to simply change their conduct. That’s not simple. You need to go deeper. What impacts your conduct is your pondering. The way you assume goes to have an effect on your conduct. What impacts your pondering? What impacts your pondering is how you are feeling. Your emotions are going to very a lot affect your pondering. And your emotions are pushed from emotion. Emotion will not be feeling, it’s simply emotion. And the phrase emotion comes from vitality in movement. The emotion is pushed out of your physiological well-being or sickness. In the event you’re not nicely physiologically, it creates vitality and movement that you simply don’t need. That makes you are feeling unhealthy. You is perhaps depressed or anxious. You is perhaps drained and have poor vitality. You would possibly really feel badly about your self, that you simply’re not adequate, or you understand, what’s unsuitable?
After which that may trigger your pondering to be very poor and detrimental, creating behaviors which can be searching for a symptom, perhaps it’s alcohol or marijuana or some painkiller or one thing, proper? Whereas when your physiology is dialed in, you get actually highly effective, good information developing into that vitality emotion, makes you are feeling implausible. You’re completely satisfied to be alive, you’re like, “Oh thank God I realized all this stuff, and I’m getting this nice feeling.” And you then go into your pondering, your pondering is vastly improved as a result of now you are taking a brilliant constructive strategy to all people and the whole lot robotically, no matter circumstance. And that pondering then creates conduct that’s like, “Hey, I need to do, can I do issues that make me really feel higher?” And your conduct begins to tune proper into your pondering, then that delivers superior outcomes on the high, which then feeds all the way in which again down into your physiology to enhance it since you’re in a cycle. So from the highest, it feeds the underside. The underside then goes up, and it will get this vortex going upward the place you’re elevated.
Whereas whenever you’re going the other way, when your physiology is getting harmed, since you didn’t know the right way to help the meanings of it. And your emotions are, it’s like a enterprise. In the event you don’t have cash within the account to make payroll, how do you are feeling? Dangerous, proper? You’re not completely satisfied. Your feelings have pushed within the enterprise facet. So there’s so many analogies that we may give, however on the finish of the day, it’s you who will get the reward for doing the proper factor, and it’s you who pays the worth you possibly can’t afford if you happen to do the unsuitable factor. So we don’t need to speak about, “Oh, I’ve received to get extra willpower.” No, that’s not the way it works. We go proper to the depths, proper to our our bodies. So the elephant within the room is to provide clear blood to repair the respiratory downside. When your bone marrow produces wonderful quantity of fresh, high-quality blood 24 hours a day since you’re feeding it the uncooked materials within the type of these sea minerals then, that clear blood begins to take away all these issues which can be inflicting that decline. Now you’re on a slight incline on a regular basis. Your physique reverse ages. It takes you again to that 25- to 35-year-old. And I say that as a result of that’s your prime at 25. That’s when your prefrontal cortex is totally developed. Now you’re that one that you’re now going to both get higher or worsen over time.
In order that’s a key efficiency indicator. I’m feeling higher each single day. I’ve extra flexibility, extra mobility, extra agility. I’ve extra sustainable vitality. I’ve received extra endurance. My mind is working much better. I’ve a greater reminiscence. My endocrine system is producing all the proper hormones on the proper time of the day and the proper time of the month. I’ve my autonomic nervous system is tremendous completely satisfied. I can put myself in parasympathetic anytime I select. I can put myself in sympathetic stress anytime I need to get the job finished. However I flipped proper out of that once more, again to parasympathetic. I get the deepest sleeps. I get completely rejuvenated at nighttime. I get up within the morning able to go for the day. And that is the important thing efficiency indicator that will get higher and higher the extra you study and the extra you do the proper issues.
Katie: Effectively, and I really like this about you since you appear to have an countless curiosity, which I really like. And I, like as you talked about, we’ve been pals for now over 10 years, and we’ve gotten to have so many desirable conversations as you retain asking questions and preserve discovering new solutions. And also you’re at all times very solutions-focused, which I really like, not problems-focused. And this particularly traces up a lot with, I’ve not finished as a lot analysis as you, however I preserve coming again to minerals being so key and the way our trendy way of life doesn’t set us up for achievement with out some intentionality right here due to, as you talked about, issues are already depleted.
We’ve been advised to keep away from issues like minerals and salt for a very long time. And once I have a look at the information such as you, I checked out locations like Blue Zones, and all people desires to hone in on did they eat meat or not? Did they drink wine or not? And what stood out to me was they usually lived in very mineral-rich areas and nurtured actually sturdy neighborhood. And I’d preface that doubtlessly these two elements are rather more necessary than whether or not or not they did or didn’t drink wine. However I really like that you simply’re open to this dialog with minerals and particularly the standard as a result of I feel I’ve seen this play out in my well being for positive. My organic age I lately examined was nearly 10 years under my precise age. So it was about 26, I imagine. And I feel as I dial this stuff in additional, I would see that quantity even go down extra. However are you able to speak about why this isn’t your common complement or answer that you’d encounter? I do know you’ve talked in regards to the organic degree and the blood degree of this and why it’s so necessary. However on a extra particular degree, what does that arc appear like? How rapidly can our physique transfer again to a greater state once we get this stuff dialed in?
Ian: Effectively, it’s a really fast motion. So relying on how previous you’re at the moment, like if you happen to’re 20 years previous, you possibly can keep the 20-year-old standing for an indefinitely very long time, like constantly. In case you are a 64 years previous like I used to be, it took a full 12 months of constructing positive I used to be taking a major quantity of the ocean minerals all day lengthy. And I watched my physique instantly start to alter. So, nevertheless it took a 12 months. It took two and a half full, nearly three full months, to repair an enlarged prostate downside that I had. I didn’t know why I had enlarged prostate, I simply knew I had that. And I had taken dietary supplements to attempt to assist that. I had used a tool that might assist that. However that wasn’t the answer. As a result of the issue was that I had been respiratory all of those nanoparticulates that had plugged up my prostate. The clear blood went in and glued it. My urinary issues went away. The libido issues went away. And now my prostate’s like a younger man once more. So I used to be like, that solely was two and a half to 3 months.
My cardiovascular system. Your cardiovascular system will enhance instantly the primary day, and it is going to be incremental just a bit bit each single day. And what I came upon was that I had a cardiovascular downside that I didn’t know existed. As a result of once I measure my blood stress, my blood stress was at 115 over 65, like an athlete, for a few years. Quickly as I began consuming the correct amount of sea minerals and produced extra clear blood, like much more clear blood, my blood stress began to climb. Within the first month, it went as much as 180 over 120. And if you happen to had been to go to a health care provider, he’d go, “Ian, what are you doing? You’re at 180 over 120. That’s hypertension.” And I say, “Effectively, really, I’m consuming salt water.” He goes, “No, you bought to cease that. You need to cease consuming the salt water. Didn’t you understand that salt causes hypertension? How a lot are you consuming?” “Effectively, I’m consuming a pound of salt a month in liquid type.” “Oh, no, no, you bought to cease that utterly. And we received to place you on diuretics. As a result of you have got means an excessive amount of blood in your system. You’ve received to cut back the quantity of blood. You’ve received hardened arteries, sir. You could have kidneys which can be plugged up. You’re attempting to pressure extra blood by way of kidneys which can be solely working at 35%. You bought to reverse this.” And I’d go, “Effectively, sir, really consuming salt water doesn’t trigger that.” “Sure, it does. It’s the one factor you began doing that prompted it. You could have excellent blood stress, and hastily, you’re at 180 or 120. Effectively, simply grasp on a bit.”
And inside seven months of consuming the identical quantity every single day, my blood stress went right down to regular ranges. I used to be nonetheless consuming simply as a lot. Effectively, what occurred is my clear blood went in and cleaned out all these nanoparticles, these razor blades, that had embedded themselves within the muscle partitions of my cardiovascular system, which is 6,500 miles in size. And so they received supple and younger once more. And my blood stress went again to regular. Just because the clear blood cleaned it out. It wasn’t the salt water that prompted it. It was the attractive quantities of volumes of fresh blood that prompted it, and that additionally fastened the issue.
My mind operate went means up as a result of we’re electrolytic beings. So if you happen to speak about these, that is the last word bio-compatible bioidentical electrolyte that you’re actually a strolling ocean, 80% of your physique is electrolytic fluid. In the event you cry a tear, what does it style like? Ocean water. In the event you sweat, what does that style like? Salt, ocean water. You could have blood and lymph fluids, 80% of your physique is like ocean water. And since you’re consuming water with out the ocean minerals in it, the water is eradicating these treasured minerals out of your system that you simply want very a lot. Folks say, “Effectively, I drink mineral water.” Effectively, let me inform you, the mineral water that’s dissolved rocks as a result of water is a solvent, dissolving rock. That’s not the minerals you possibly can construct blood with. That doesn’t allow you to. And the meals has all been depleted. So we merely go to the ocean, get the licensed pure stuff that we now have in place. And we devour it, and that’s the most important recreation changer. Everybody will discover a myriad of lovely upgrades and modifications as they undergo a bit little bit of a curler coaster experience as a result of it does have an effect on you. So the symptom of 180 over 120 I now notice will not be hypertension. Now, can I inform you one other story that may shock you?
Katie: Completely.
Ian: This includes my spouse. And persons are going to freak out after they hear this. I advised her about this. And she or he’s by no means actually been a brilliant adamant well being advocate, however she’s at all times lived a fairly wholesome life. You already know, she runs our farm as all natural meals. And she or he began consuming the salt water. She has had seven youngsters. We had seven youngsters collectively. And so her physique was obese in consequence as a result of she by no means actually paid consideration to a whole lot of the stuff. And her blood stress began to go up. Inside three months, the blood stress monitor that I take advantage of at house would now not learn. It goes as much as 330, and it will go to an error. And I assumed it was my machine that was the issue. So I took her right down to the skilled unit of the drug retailer. She received on that, and he or she maxed it out and it went into an error. She was no less than 400 over one thing in that class. And she or he felt completely high quality. And she or he saved consuming. She didn’t cease. She didn’t freak out. She didn’t go, “Oh my God, I’m going to die.” She didn’t do any of these issues. She saved consuming the salt water.
And her blood stress went proper again right down to regular ranges inside eight months. It took her eight months. And so I spotted, “Maintain it. I feel we’re being advised some misinformation about blood stress.” She didn’t have any disagreeable signs from having blood stress at that degree. What’s happening? Now she feels actually good in her blood stress, right down to regular ranges. So what’s that every one about? So we’re scared, we’re scared by what we predict is correct scientific information, you can’t have that occur to you. Now, I didn’t count on that to try this to her, I’d have thought that was very harmful, however she received by way of it completely high quality. She was completely useful the entire time. And if I’d have by no means checked her blood stress for eight months after which she checked it, and he or she was regular, I’d have thought, no downside. However as a result of we checked it and we came upon it was astronomically what could be thought of excessive, nevertheless it didn’t matter. I feel she broke a world file. She’s 62 years previous. So, it’s, life is a thriller.
Katie: Effectively, and I really like this as a result of I really feel prefer it actually challenges a whole lot of the assumptions associated to issues like salt consumption and blood stress and what they really imply. And I feel this goes again to first rules and asking higher inquiries to get higher solutions. I really like that you simply additionally talked about, you understand, we at all times hear that our physique is, nearly all of our physique is water, however that’s not really an correct assertion. The vast majority of our physique is salt water. And so, I actually assume over simply over-hydrating with out the mineral part in all probability can do extra hurt than good over the long term, particularly relying on the supply of that water as nicely.
However I additionally at all times return to, you understand, the physique desires to maneuver towards a state of thriving. It desires to heal. It’s a pure state, and now we have to determine the right way to help it in what it already does. Such as you mentioned, it’s not that any complement or this something is doing it for you. It’s simply serving to your physique do what it naturally desires to do and is designed to do. However I simply discover it so ironic that we’ve been advised for therefore lengthy that salt particularly is unhealthy for us. And when you’re speaking about these tales which can be simply so placing and the way that has modified for each you and in your spouse, and I’d guess for a lot of different folks now as nicely.
Ian: Oh yeah, for positive, everybody. There was one colleague that I’ve who’s 19, and he or she began consuming the salt water. I checked her inside three months. She’s an athlete. Her blood stress by no means moved one single iota. It didn’t go up in any respect. She had athletic blood stress the entire time. Doesn’t matter how a lot saltwater she drinks. It’s going to remain excellent as a result of she hasn’t breathed the 160 million liters of air but.
And so, what’s going on now’s each single day, what I breathe in, now leaves. I’ve gotten rid of the buildup. My lungs for one full month, it began at seven months into this course of. And I’d had respiratory points as a result of I labored within the oil subject for 17 years, and I received actually contaminated. I began coughing up white glue. I had no no fever, no an infection in any respect. These things I used to be coughing up, each half-hour I used to be coughing up, this was actually bizarre. I’m most filled with the stuff I needed to spit out in the bathroom. And it got here out like glue. It had no coloration and no style. And it was a complete month of hacking these things up. And persons are taking a look at me in public going, “What’s unsuitable with you?” If I used to be at an occasion and I’m having to depart each half-hour to cough, and I imply, I needed to cough it like an train program to get it up as a result of it was so sticky. After which I had a few month and a half the place it stopped, after which it began once more for one more month, after which it simply completed. Apparently, it’s finished as a result of I haven’t had it occur once more. However we’ll see. However our lungs are this large matrix. So respiratory was instantly fastened.
And the opposite factor that I observed was my digestive well being received excellent. As a result of whenever you drink these sea minerals within the water on a continuing foundation, it is usually the uncooked materials that you simply make hydrochloric acid with. The hot button is chloric. These are chloride minerals. So now, my hydrochloric acid is on the highest high quality that has ever been in my whole life. Every thing I eat, whether or not I may eat proteins and fat, it doesn’t matter how a lot, I don’t want any extra digestive enzymes, no probiotics. I’ve two to 3 bowel actions a day. My full system is squeaky clear from entrance to again. And that was like, I used to be like, “Wow.” You already know, folks become old, they begin to have intestine issues. Like diverticulitis, leaky intestine, IBS, Crohn’s, GERD, all that stuff is all as a result of the hydrochloric acid high quality is getting decrease and decrease as a result of they’re diluting the minerals.
Now folks speak about pH. Now they’ve the pH weight loss program, you bought to have excessive pH. Effectively, that’s a mythology as a result of the minerals stability your pH completely. Your abdomen has 1.5 pH. Your liver’s working at 5.8. Your kidneys at 5.6. All these completely different organs have various things. Your blood is at all times 7.365. It simply retains it there always. So placing the minerals in offers you the gasoline. That is precise gasoline. It’s mind gasoline. It’s cardiovascular gasoline. It’s respiratory and so forth. It’s gasoline. So that you give your self good clear gasoline all day lengthy and it removes all them since you’re respiratory the tire mud. Only for instance, tires are product of rubber, cotton, epoxes, resins, plastics, microplastics, chemical compounds, and metals. And also you’re respiratory it. You possibly can’t count on to have an extended, lengthy, lengthy, extraordinarily lengthy, good, wholesome life if you happen to don’t do one thing about it.
So that is the elephant within the room that now we have handled. And anybody who does it finds out for themselves. And the one means you possibly can know Katie, and that’s what you’ve been doing, is you came upon, oh, that you simply began doing it. It teaches you by supplying you with the outcomes. And also you see that on the high of the pyramid, which is the place we need to dwell.
Katie: I really like that. And I really like that it’s like, with that analogy, it’s the bottom of the pyramid that we’re addressing, not the signs that present up on the high, which is a way more efficient long-term technique. And I really like additionally that you simply talked about {the electrical} part as a result of I learn the ebook years in the past, The Physique Electrical, and it reframed how I thought of my physique and what I put in my physique. And I really feel like this has been one other piece that I’m, such as you mentioned, experimenting with and, to this point, having nice outcomes with. And I feel it comes again to minerals a lot. And this can be a recurring theme on this podcast, for positive. And I really like that we received to take it even a degree deeper this time. And also you had been in a position to clarify the lung degree, the blood degree, how that is so intricately linked to each single cell in our physique.
