In high school, only one girl had diabetes, now it's 1 in 7. Poor diet is to blame for rising diabetes rates and obesity. Bob and Anne Demerith from Clear Spring Ranch in Missouri promote nutrient-dense food. Their testing shows their meat is 2.7 times more nutritious than grocery store meat. They emphasize supporting local communities and eating closer to where food is grown for better health. Flavor is also excellent.

The speaker states he was diagnosed with macular degeneration and told it would likely worsen, potentially leading to blindness. Dissatisfied, he created supplements, including Doctor Joe's Supergreens, Essential Source, and nitric oxide, to provide nutrients aimed at reversing the condition, despite being told it was irreversible. Years later, the speaker's eye doctor was surprised to find his macular degeneration improving, a phenomenon he claimed never to have witnessed before. The speaker reports that his condition continues to improve annually. Pictures of his eyes are available on his website, doctorjo.com. He shares this personal story to illustrate how nutrition, chiropractic care, proper food, and supplements can improve health conditions. While not everyone experiences improvement, the speaker advocates for addressing the root cause of health problems rather than merely treating symptoms and encourages those with health issues to seek help.

Speaker 0: The question is how you reverse a cavity without undergoing a root canal. The statement given is that you "just do a little coconut oil and burl powder." The underlying idea presented is that cavities essentially arise because teeth are either not being nourished, or because they’re starting to fall apart due to diet. In other words, the development of cavities is attributed to a lack of nourishment to the teeth or to dietary factors that cause deterioration. This is presented as the basic explanation for what leads to a whole cavity situation. The discussion then extends to the concept of root canals and mouth infections. It is claimed that if you have a root canal treatment or infections in the mouth, applying coconut oil and dragon's blood to the area can help. The assertion is that this combination can assist with the condition of the area where the infection or root canal issue is present. Additionally, it is stated that this approach can contribute to the regeneration of the gums. In other words, coconut oil and dragon's blood are described as having benefits for both infected areas and gum regeneration, according to the speaker.

Two teachers sought out Doctor. Price to ask what had caused their poorest student to become one of the best in class. One boy had been so weak they worried if he would be able to walk the two blocks to the mission to receive the meal. Six weeks later, he was playing basketball like a star and showing no fatigue. "Doctor Price believed that well over ninety five percent of all dental caries can be controlled this way." "If such amazing results can be seen by changing one meal a day in an otherwise deficient nutritional regime, imagine the effect of complete dietary change."

Speaker 0 emphasizes the importance of teaching children about nutrition. Dr. Marty Makary highlighted that refined carbs, added sugars, and ultra-processed foods are linked to an epidemic: a Journal of the American Medical Association study shows sixty to seventy percent of kids’ calories come from ultra-processed foods. This, according to Speaker 0, means a generation of children is addicted to refined carbs and low in protein, described as nitrogen negative, due to old flawed studies that mismeasured metabolism. He states this is crucial because it will change the future health of the next generation. Speaker 1 agrees and notes personal observations about health trends. He says his kids were raised differently and benefits from that, and he reflects on a photo from Metropolitan Beach in Detroit around 1965, showing him and friends without overweight individuals. He contrasts that with today, suggesting that in supermarkets you can see people and their food carts in ways that imply widespread health concerns, questioning whether they will reach their cars.

A Copenhagen study with 100 normal individuals divided into four groups for six months: one liter of sugared soda per day, one liter of diet soda per day, one liter of milk per day, and one liter of water per day. The outcomes: 'The one liter of soda per day in six months gained 10 kilos.' 'No surprise.' 'The one liter of water per day lost two kilos.' 'One liter of milk per day, no change.' And finally, the key, the kicker to the whole thing, diet soda. 'The one liter of diet soda. What would you predict their weight would do? They gained two kilos.' 'Why did they gain two kilos if they were consuming a liter of diet soda, which are zero calories? The answer is because they still generated an insulin response.'

He was thrilled to find groups of people who experienced little or no dental disease. This health was possible, not through diligent hygiene or fluoridated water, treatments being recommended in the civilized society, and but through a diet rich in nutrients, particularly fat soluble vitamins. He argued passionately for changing Western society's priorities to focus on good nutrition, enriching the soil, and prenatal care, substitution substituting prevention for repair.

There are multiple randomized controlled trials—The standard for population-wide policy—that show a diet dramatically reducing carbohydrates can reverse type two diabetes, reverse hypertension, and reverse the vast majority of cardiovascular risk factors, and even reverse schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Depression and anxiety can be reduced by seventy-nine percent within weeks. In the largest type two diabetes trial, more than fifty percent reversed their diabetes, including people with eight years’ duration, with results in about ten weeks. This knowledge has been around for a decade, yet you haven’t heard of it or seen it in newspapers. It affects thirty-eight million people. Think of the thousands of articles on Ozempic and Wegovy, and not a single piece on reversing type two diabetes using food. This is doable and should be a source of optimism amid today’s challenges.

People with high cholesterol levels saw them return to normal by stopping meat, butter, cream, cheese, and eggs. Additionally, cancer patients were going into remission. Cancer cells consume 15 times the glucose of any other cell. When high glucose foods are drastically stopped, the cancer cells can self-destruct when they're not getting the glucose they need.

Fluoride is added to the water supply to prevent tooth decay, but it can also cause dental fluorosis. There are over 180 studies showing the harmful effects of fluoride on the brain, nervous system, IQ, and thyroid. Tooth decay is caused by acid from plaque bacteria breaking down sugar, which leaches minerals from the teeth. Increasing sugar intake weakens the immune system and decreases vitamin C absorption. Instead of relying on fluoride, changing the diet could be a better solution to prevent tooth decay.

Weston A. Price traveled to 14 countries in the 1930s to study tribal populations and their nutrition. He found that native people eating traditional foods had straight, decay-free teeth, good physiques, and no chronic disease. These traditional diets included animal foods like butter, fish eggs, shellfish, organ meats, eggs, and animal fats. In contrast, those consuming a modern diet with sugar, white flour, pasteurized milk, and convenience foods experienced tooth decay, abnormal facial patterns, and susceptibility to certain diseases.

Speaker 0 discusses one of the best books, The Recipe for Living Without Disease by Ajanas, and shares that they’ve been eating raw meat for eight months after discovering this work. They claim that Ajanas had diabetes, skin issues, angina, and autism, and that all of these were completely reversed by a raw food diet. They argue that people heat, cook, irradiate, and process their food and then wonder why they have health issues. They assert that there is so much bacteria in food, and that because you are made up of bacteria, cooking or irradiating food makes it sterile and “makes you sick.” The point is made more deeply by noting Eskimo diets: they allegedly ate 99% raw meat from caribou, fish, seal, moose, bear, and whale, and had no disease at all until cauldrons and processed foods were introduced to their area. The speaker mentions Doctor Potinger, who reportedly had 900 cats fed all raw meat and raw milk; none of these cats had health issues, did not need dewormers, and were healthy, whereas giving them processed kibble produced negative outcomes. They then provide examples of raw foods: raw fruit, raw meat, raw butter, raw cream, raw dairy, raw vegetables, and raw milk, labeling raw as “great things.” The overarching claim is that raw foods lead to better health and that “raw is the law,” with personal testimony that raw consumption makes people feel very good.

Speaker 0 found out he had 10 cavities, which will cost $3,000 and three visits to fix. Speaker 1 states that 10 cavities with braces is a common situation that can be avoided. The speaker notes that braces make it easier to get cavities between the teeth because most people don't floss between their teeth, since they have to use floss threaders, which takes a long time. The speaker recommends using a water flosser or braces floss picks to keep teeth clean and cavity-free.

I put three autoimmune diseases into remission, not to mention a bunch of other health conditions that I was dealing with, and I want to share how I did that. A little disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I have no medical background whatsoever. I was a desperate person who refused to believe I had to be on medication for the rest of my life or endure this pain forever. I did research, studied, and took matters into my own hands. After a lot of trial and error, two years later I am a completely different person, and I’m going to share what I did. It’s going to feel too good to be true or too simple, but I’m telling you right now that the way you eat changes everything. The best way I can describe it and simplify it for others is that humans need to be eating food in their truest form. I view it as the way God put it on the earth is the way it should be eaten. The more processed it is, the more terrible it is for our bodies. So I eliminated all processed food, and if it is processed, it is very minimally processed. A perfect example: I will eat potato chips, but I have to pick up the bag, look at the label, and if it says potatoes, sea salt, avocado oil as the three ingredients, I will eat those because it is very simple ingredients. I’m not going to pick up a bag of Lay’s. Another example: I am not going to buy bread at the store. Bread at the store or any flour is empty calories, bleached, all the nutrients taken out. Instead, I buy whole wheat berries, mill them myself, and make bread from that because that is bread in its truest form. I believe we should be able to eat dairy and gluten, but it all needs to be in its truest form, and when it is, our bodies can handle it. The reason people are sick and cannot eat certain foods is because of the way they are processed or modified. I think the biggest issue with humans and why we’re all so sick is because we are eating all of the wrong things and not getting enough nutrients in our diets. If you eat whole grains in their truest form, dairy in its truest form, lean protein, fruit, vegetables in their truest form, meaning no pesticides, no glyphosate, organic fruits and vegetables. I don’t think all fruits and vegetables have to be organic—only some are sprayed with pesticides, but it’s called the dirty dozen; look into that. As long as we are eating things in their truest form and avoiding processed junk, processed sugar, soda, fast food, we are giving our bodies what it needs to thrive and to heal itself. Not saying this fixes everything—there may be conditions that can’t be fixed by this—but people could be surprised by how many issues would go away if we ate the way we were meant to. If you want, I can share an example of a day of eating. Just say the word. I hope you have a great night and remember you do not have to be sick. Doctors are not taught nutrition in medical school—they are taught to prescribe medication. A lot of us think we have to be on medication for the rest of our lives to feel good, when in reality we just need to eat differently.

We have lost our ability to detect the nutrients we need, like animals still do. Doctor. Price described how wild deer prefer to browse on the most nutrient rich vegetation, even while leaving the same plants growing in poor soil untouched. Processed foods lack vital nutrients. Modern white flour has had approximately four fifths of the phosphorus and nearly all of the vitamins removed by processing. This makes it easier to transport and store, which is great for the manufacturer, but detrimental to the customer. Even insects and bugs select food that is nourishing. Bugs and children require the same minerals and vitamins. Our modern white bread cannot support such insect life. The empty calories are known as displacing foods.

80% of medical schools in the United States don't require a single nutrition course, yet 90% of healthcare costs are tied to diseases linked to food. The speaker didn't learn at Stanford Medical School that 95% of the USDA Food Guidelines committee had conflicts of interest with the food industry, or about the 8,000 conflicts of interest at the NIH. They also didn't learn about the 8 billion tons of plastic degrading into estrogen analogs, or the 6 billion pounds of pesticides sprayed on the global food supply annually, which are tied to diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. The speaker states that taking 7,000 steps per day can reduce the risk of major chronic diseases by 40-60%, but the average American only walks 3,500 steps. They also didn't learn about the importance of sunlight for circadian biology and cellular health. Sleep is also important, as sleep deprivation can make a young, healthy person pre-diabetic in just five nights, and 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic or type 2 diabetic.

The speaker avoids sugar and simple carbohydrates like bread. As a side effect of this diet, they no longer get plaque buildup on their teeth. They believe this is because eliminating sugars deprives bacteria of the food source needed to form biofilm on the teeth.

An emerging body of science links the microbiome to mental health via the gut-brain connection. Studies in prisons and juvenile detention facilities show extraordinary results when diets are changed. One juvenile detention facility saw suicide rates decrease by 100% and the use of restraints decrease by 75% simply by changing the diet. A Harvard professor is reportedly curing schizophrenia with dietary changes. Violence in prisons went down by 47%. Governors are being urged to change diets in schools and remove food dyes that affect behavior. There are opportunities to improve children's physical and mental health.

They suppressed the data for sixteen years. Two other large studies failed to show an association. Finally, the study trickled out in the medical literature. Nobody noticed it. Those on the low fat group had higher rates of heart attacks. Why? Maybe because when you avoid fat, you have to pound food with carbohydrates and often ultra processed carbohydrates stripped of fiber and chopped up at functions like sugar. We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and on burdened with ultra processed foods. And what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale. Those days are over. We are telling people the truth about food.

We have lost our ability to detect the nutrients we need, like animals still do. Doctor. Price described how wild deer prefer to browse on the most nutrient rich vegetation, even while leaving the same plants growing in poor soil untouched. Processed foods lack vital nutrients. Modern white flour has had approximately four fifths of the phosphorus and nearly all of the vitamins removed by processing.

Adam, we need to eat fruits, vegetables, and seeds instead of unhealthy foods like hamburgers and fries. These natural foods can prevent and cure many health problems. Despite the belief that seeds contain cyanide, it is actually harmless because it is locked in with other substances. The Hunza tribe in India and Pakistan, who consume apricot seeds, have a long lifespan and are free from diseases. Apricot seeds contain a component called amygdalin, which is also found in other foods like wheatgrass and lima beans. The government has used the word cyanide to scare people from eating these foods. The FDA confiscated apricot seeds and other items from our home in 2000. Many diseases are caused by deficiencies, not by what we consume. For example, scurvy can be prevented by consuming vitamin C, as discovered by Dr. Lynn in the 1700s.

He highlighted groups of people who experienced little or no dental disease, arguing that this health was not due to hygiene, fluoridated water, or conventional treatments, but to a diet rich in nutrients, particularly fat-soluble vitamins. He urged Western society to shift priorities toward good nutrition, soil enrichment, and prenatal care, substituting prevention for repair.
