The St. John Breber School in Niles, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, was the subject of a study when, in 1963, the Communicable Disease Center of the U. S. Public Health Service in Atlanta reported an unusually high rate of leukemia among the children attending the school—the highest rate of any school in the country, five times the national average. Numerous national cancer agencies, both public and private, investigated this situation, yet no positive explanation for the unusually high leukemia rate was found. Until an explanation is available, every possible clue should be explored, and with this in mind, a visit to the school was conducted to learn interesting details not previously uncovered. From records reviewed, it was learned that the leukemia cluster developed shortly after the teachers in two classrooms were transferred to the school and began to keep the curtains closed at all times because of glare from the large areas of glass used in constructing the building. This practice effectively meant keeping the high-intensity fluorescent lights on continuously. At the time of the high leukemia incidents, the lighting used was the Deluxe Warm White fluorescent tube, described as the pinkest of the standard tubes used for ordinary lighting purposes. Further review of the available records showed that the leukemia cluster emerged in this pattern after the two teachers were assigned to these rooms and began the routine of keeping the curtains closed regardless of weather conditions and leaving the fluorescent lights on all the time. The cluster’s disappearance occurred shortly after these same teachers were transferred to other schools. Coincidentally, during the same period, all of the Deluxe Warm White tubes were old and were replaced with Cool White tubes, which, while not a full-spectrum type of tube, do represent less distortion than the Deluxe Warm White when compared to natural sunlight. These observations suggest a temporal association between the peculiar classroom environment—closed curtains reducing exposure to outdoor light, combined with continuous use of a particular type of fluorescent lighting—and the occurrence of leukemia in this school cohort, with a noted reversal following the shift to different classrooms, staff, and newer lighting.

The video argues that removing LED bulbs from homes is important because LEDs contribute to health issues on a daily basis. It contrasts LEDs with traditional light sources, stating that the sun, fire, and incandescent bulbs emit infrared light, which “actually boost cellular energy and repair.” In contrast, LEDs are described as exposing people “only to blue light.” The speaker cites studies claiming that prolonged exposure to this blue light accelerates aging, disrupts neurotransmitters in the brain, and impairs mitochondria. These effects are presented as reasons why many people feel constantly tired and drained when indoors. Another point made is that LED bulbs flicker at high speeds that are “too fast for your eyes to notice, but enough to stress your brain and your nervous system.” This flicker is presented as an additional risk associated with LED lighting. To mitigate these issues, the speaker shares a personal precaution: wearing blue light blocking glasses “anytime I can’t control my environment and the lighting.” The overall message emphasizes a link between LED lighting and adverse health effects, drawing a contrast with traditional light sources and recommending the use of protective eyewear in situations where lighting cannot be controlled.

I checked Danielle's bedroom for radiation levels due to new street lights outside. Phone on airplane mode showed low levels. But outside, the street lights emitted constant high levels, which can cause cold-like symptoms, fatigue, headaches, and nausea. These lights are common now, even near my cottage. This constant exposure is harmful to health.

Dr. Alexis Cohen (Jasmine Cohen) and the host discuss a wide-ranging view of health, science, and society, centered on mitochondria, light biology, and decentralized approaches to knowledge and healing. - On science, health, and authority: - Cohen argues that “we really haven’t been doing science for about seventy years now” and that modern science has become scientism, with people looking to scientists and doctors as authority figures over personal health, even though no one can fully know another’s lived body experience. - She emphasizes that aging is a reflection of mitochondrial heteroplasmy and that there are ways to slow or speed that burden, but contemporary living habits harm mitochondrial health. She asserts there are incentives to promote lifestyle advice that is not monetizable (outdoor activity, barefoot grounding, seasonal eating, movement), which she says slows research and access to information. - The conversation asserts a need to reclaim personal authority over health and to recognize life as magical and miraculous. - Personal entry into Bitcoin and crypto curiosity: - Cohen notes she and her partner became interested in Bitcoin in 2018, with a continued engagement including taking a cryptography course to understand the underlying proofs rather than accepting information at face value. - Background and work: - The host introduces Cohen as a Princeton-trained molecular biologist, a PhD focusing on metabolism, gut health, and circadian biology, who shifted from academic research to helping people rebuild health through nutrition, movement, mitochondrial function, and light exposure. Cohen shares that her own childhood illnesses, weight issues, and colitis prompted a pivot from academia to health coaching, emphasizing ownership of wellbeing through science and practical lifestyle strategies. - Cohen highlights that she values rigorous science but seeks practical lifestyle strategies to empower clients to understand their biology and take ownership of their health. - Dance, embodiment, and biology: - Cohen describes taking up social dancing (salsa, bachata, merengue, fox trot, hustle) and training intensely. She explains dancing challenges the brain in novel ways, requires being guided by a partner, and expands neural connections. - The host shares similar experiences with dance, noting body memory across decades and the importance of movement, rhythm, and social connection for health. - Mitochondria, heteroplasmy, and light: - Cohen explains mitochondria as the battery of the cell, with their own circular DNA and multiple roles in ATP production, biosynthesis, and epigenetic regulation. Heteroplasmy, the mutation burden in mitochondrial DNA, reflects dysfunction that can lead to energy production deficits across tissues. - She notes three key mitochondrial outputs: - ATP production powers cellular processes and metabolism. - Metabolic water production (including deuterium-depleted metabolic water). - Biophotons, photons largely in the UV range, emitted by mitochondria and nucleus during electron transport; older, sicker individuals emit more light due to increased permeability of the system. - Cohen argues aging mirrors mitochondrial heteroplasmy and mutation accumulation, with higher mutation burdens in tissues like immune cells, gut, liver, and brain associated with disease. She also discusses that mitochondria contribute to energy, water, and biophotons, and that modern life elevates heteroplasmy by lifestyle choices. - She argues heteroplasmy can be slowed or sped, and that there are actionable interventions—though the exact list is not exhaustively enumerated in this segment. - Why mitochondrial health isn’t the central target: - Cohen says mitochondrial health research is less profitable because it emphasizes lifestyle and environmental changes rather than drugs, which affects funding and research direction. She describes a system where focusing on broad environmental and lifestyle changes could be financially less lucrative than drug-centered approaches. - She expands on historical dynamics in science, including siloing of scientists and the development of a paywalled academic publishing model, suggesting that the system discourages holistic, integrative approaches that would unify mitochondrial biology with systems biology. - Light, circadian biology, and UVA/UVB: - The discussion shifts to light as a regulator of mitochondria. Cohen divides the sun’s spectrum into ultraviolet (UVB and UVA), visible light, blue light, and near infrared (NIR). She emphasizes that near-infrared light penetrates deeply and stimulates mitochondria, while UVB promotes melanin production via POMC and MSH peptides, affecting energy balance, mood, and metabolism. - UVB light triggers alpha-MSH and beta-endorphin production, the latter contributing to mood and dopamine support, and helps regulate energy expenditure and appetite via POMC-derived pathways; UVB exposure supports melanin synthesis, redox balance, and photoreception across tissues. - UVA light activates Neuropsin receptors on eyes and skin, aiding circadian entrainment and nitric oxide production, which improves vasodilation and nutrient delivery. Neuropsin is present in skin and testes; its stimulation is linked to testosterone and fertility enhancements. UVA also helps anchor local circadian rhythms in tissues. - Cohen discusses the misperception that UV light is universally harmful and argues that melanin is not only protective but can facilitate energy capture from high-energy photons to support energy metabolism in humans. Melanin’s roles extend beyond protection to potential energy transduction, with POMC, MSH, and alpha-MSH linking light exposure to metabolic regulation. - The My Circadian app is recommended as a tool to track sunrise, UVA/UVB rise, and lux (brightness) to optimize exposure. Cohen notes indoor environments rarely exceed 1000 lux, while outdoor brightness can reach 60,000–60,200 lux, significantly impacting serotonin production, mood, and cognition. She emphasizes the importance of bright daytime light for circadian alignment and melatonin suppression at night. - Infrared, LEDs, and indoor lighting: - The conversation covers lighting technologies, noting fluorescent tubes and LEDs minimize near-infrared and maximize blue light, which disrupts circadian rhythms and flicker, stressing the eyes and sympathetic nervous system. Cohen argues that modern lighting deprives people of infrared and UV radiation, both critical for mitochondrial function and circadian health. - She criticizes the push for energy efficiency that reduces thermal and infrared energy, arguing it contributes to systemic health issues. She emphasizes the importance of incandescent and near-infrared-rich lighting for indoor environments and sun exposure to sustain metabolic health. - Grounding, EMF, and environmental exposure: - Grounding (direct contact with the earth) is presented as a way to discharge excess positive charge in tissues, reducing inflammatory burden and supporting mitochondrial function. Cohen shares practical grounding instructions—grounding directly to the earth when possible, wearing natural fibers, and using grounding footwear. - Non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, and other sources are discussed as contributors to mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. Cohen cites Robert Becker’s historical work on non-thermal EMF effects and Havana syndrome as context for potential biological risks. She suggests practical mitigation, including reducing EMF exposure, using Ethernet where possible, and using tinfoil to shield exposure in certain situations. Plant life can absorb EMF, and grounding, sunlight, and strategic use of red and infrared light are recommended to compensate where exposure is high. - The discussion includes practical home strategies, EMF-blocking window panels, EMF-blocking paint, and even temporary shielding (e.g., tinfoil) as a do-it-yourself mitigation approach. - Travel, circadian disruption, and protocols: - Cohen outlines travel challenges: high altitude cosmic radiation exposure (non-AVMF exposure), cabin EMFs, circadian misalignment, and sedentary behavior. She suggests pre- and post-travel strategies such as grounding, sun exposure, hydration, lymphatic support, and blue-light management to ease time-zone transitions. - She promotes an ebook protocol focused on lymphatic support and circadian realignment, available for purchase, with a holiday discount code holydays. Blue-light blocking strategies and red-light strategies are included to facilitate adaptation to new time zones. - Health, mental health, and pediatric considerations: - The hosts discuss mental health concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression, emphasizing circadian regulation, light exposure, sleep hygiene, and reducing screen exposure. Cohen notes the importance of bright daytime light and a dark, cool sleeping environment for sleep quality and mood. She mentions a study showing even small nighttime light exposure can influence daytime metabolic markers, emphasizing the importance of darkness at night. - Birth, medications, and vaccines: - They touch on birth experiences, epidurals, and how early life interventions can influence long-term health and microbiome development. Cohen discusses pain as a portal to healing and critiques reliance on certain pharmaceutical approaches. - On vaccines, Cohen describes observed adverse effects post COVID-19 vaccination, including histamine issues, barrier permeability, and rapid cancer reports linked to vaccine exposure, while underscoring the lack of widespread funding to investigate these relationships. She mentions turbo cancers and batch variation as topics already discussed by researchers like Kevin McKernan and a need for independent inquiry. - Decentralization, science, and Bitcoin again: - Cohen envisions a decentralized health system in which multiple modalities (acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, allopathic medicine) can be tested for proof of work, with outcomes guiding what works best for individuals. She believes decentralization is necessary for genuine innovation, with a future vision of a decentralized, funded light research lab and a retreat model to study circadian biology, mitochondrial function, and nature-based health in diverse environments (North America and equatorial regions). - She sees Bitcoin as a tool that enables financial sovereignty and autonomy, providing an opportunity to fund decentralized science and publish findings on blockchain to protect against censorship. She highlights the potential for Bitcoin to support a lab through deflationary funding and to empower researchers and patients alike. - Closing: - The conversation closes with practical resources: Thinkific-hosted classes, an online book club, and a QuantumU course that reframes science education around decentralized, nature-based principles. Cohen emphasizes accessible contact options (Instagram and email) and a holiday discount for courses and ebooks. The participants express enthusiasm for ongoing collaboration, travel and events, and continued education in Bitcoin, science, and holistic health. Overall, the episode centers on mitochondria as a foundational health driver, the essential role of light and circadian biology in energy, mood, metabolism, and aging, and a call for decentralized, nature-aligned science, with Bitcoin framed as a funding and governance tool to empower individuals and researchers to pursue health innovation beyond centralized institutions.

Speaker 0 discusses Dr. Jack Cruz and claims about blue light from screens. They say the impact grew out of CIA and FBI experimentation that began with mind control and electrodes on monkeys' brains, and that they realized they could create the same impact with blue light. They claim that when choosing screen colors, blue was chosen over red because it makes you more lethargic, apathetic, and easier to control. They also mention that red light saunas would have the additional benefit of exposure to red light on the opposite side of the spectrum.

The speaker describes a new device used to measure the spectrum of light, noting that under full sunshine it reveals all seven colors—“just like the rainbow”—and that this natural spectrum is straightforward. When measuring incandescence, the speaker highlights a “beautiful red hue” and claims there is “really none of the other stuff to make you go blind,” implying that incandescent light presents a safe, simple spectrum in comparison to other sources. The speaker then discusses LEDs, stating that they are “super weird to have LEDs” because they “cause blindness, cataracts, dizziness, headaches, fatigue,” and references “that color spectrum” as part of the issue. Fluorescence is described as being almost identical to LEDs in this respect. The speaker also mentions “full moonlight” in this context, implying a comparison between the spectral qualities of LEDs/fluorescent light and moonlight. A key point emphasized is that LEDs and fluorescent bulbs seem to mimic moonlight, which the speaker notes as a source of behavioral or perceptual effects, claiming that this similarity to moonlight is what contributes to people going nuts. The overall message centers on a contrast between the spectra of different light sources—sunlight with its full seven-color spectrum, incandescence with a prominent red hue and fewer problematic elements, and LEDs/fluorescent lighting with problematic health and perceptual effects and a moonlight-like quality.

Speaker 0 describes an experiment in which young white rats were placed directly in front of a TV set for the same time periods as bean plants and children exhibiting tired child syndrome symptoms. Using semi time lapse photography, partially speeding up the action, the results show that the young rats on the left, protected only with black photographic paper, became aggressive and more difficult to manage. In contrast, those on the right, protected with a lead shield, remained perfectly normal and docile. Autopsies were performed on all of these animals, revealing brain tissue damage in the rats protected only with the black paper, but not in those protected with the lead shielding.

The speaker describes observing moonlight and notes that the color spectrums appeared as lines, with certain colors missing, and that the moonlight is constantly changing. They claim this is why people go nuts during the full moon. They assert that the Epstein files were dropped two days before the full moon because “everybody goes nuts when they find out that the government's a bunch of pedophiles … and they need to be hung.” They argue that LEDs and fluorescence are very similar to moonlight, producing the same color spectrum, which is why LEDs and fluorescence are used in homes—to give people the same moonlight spectrum. The speaker claims that people walk around with pulsating and flickering light, “going completely crazy,” because the color spectrum from the moon flickers like an LED or fluorescent bulb during the full moon. They say they bought a device to see what the color spectrum is of what is coming off the moon. The speaker contends this is also why incandescent bulbs should be banned, arguing that incandescent bulbs are being removed for a reason: “number one, they're healing on the eyes,” and that there’s a red spectrum which is “actually very beneficial.”

Speaker 0: Wanna do a little video showing the difference between an incandescent bulb and an LED bulb so you guys can see the difference. Incandescent is very natural, very healing, great for reading. These are like putting an LED streetlight in your home. That is a light emitting diode. It's creating the light color, and it's very, very high in radio frequencies and messes with the mind because of the flicker rate. First, these little cute end incandescent bulbs, none of that. Very simple, very safe. If you don't have access to these bulbs, you can also do things with candlelight. You can look into fire light fire meditations. But LEDs, I would say not putting any of this stuff in your house because it messes with the mind, with the melatonin levels, and doesn't allow you to sleep. This is why people are suffering from so many sleeping issues is because these bulbs.

Speaker 0 states that children who sleep in rooms with a nightlight or dim lights are much more likely to develop myopia (nearsightedness). Conversely, children who sleep in very dark rooms, whether due to very dim nightlights or complete darkness, have a significantly lower probability of developing myopia.

Clumping of red blood cells in the vascular system is considered a major problem because it blocks blood flow in capillaries, impeding oxygen and nutrient transfer to tissues and waste removal. A microscope slide shows red blood cells clumping into long chains in human blood after five minutes of exposure to a video display terminal, model Ikigami EM125A. After five minutes of exposing the blood to a shielded, full spectrum OttLite fluorescent fixture, model 2,020, the long chains of red cells break up, using darkfield microscopy.

In another experiment, time lapse cameras were used in a standard first grade classroom and several hyperactive children may be noted, especially the boy in the immediate foreground. Ninety days after the regular cool white fluorescent tubes were replaced with the new type full spectrum fluorescent tubes with radiation shields, there was a marked improvement noted, and the extremely hyperactive boy has voluntarily moved up to the front row. He raises his hand for recognition and is now up at the blackboard taking part in classroom activities. Prior to the time that this new lighting was installed, this particular boy had an extreme learning disability problem, but quickly learned to read within ninety days after the new lights were installed. There was further noted a general average improvement in both the behavior and academic achievement of the entire class.

Researchers recruited 22 individuals and randomized them into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups had a baseline color contrast test, which assesses visual function. Participants worked in a building with abundant artificially lit LEDs and fluorescent lighting, a spectrum with a big spike in blue light and very low red light and zero infrared light. After two weeks of working under these conditions—described as conditions the participants had experienced for the last two years—there were zero improvements in color contrast in the control group. In the experimental group, researchers added two desk lamps, each equipped with a 60-watt incandescent bulb. The incandescent bulbs provided a spectrum that added abundant infrared light, introducing longer wavelengths similar to sunlight. After two weeks of this infrared light supplementation, color contrast tests were retaken. The experimental group showed a 28% improvement in protan thresholds and a 24% improvement in tritan thresholds. After the incandescent lights were removed, improvements persisted four weeks later and six weeks later, with no other changes to the lighting. The mechanism behind these results centers on retinal energy metabolism. The retina is rich in mitochondria, requiring substantial energy. The electron transport chain in mitochondria handles energy transformation. Two scenarios are described: shining red and infrared light on mitochondria versus blue light. - Blue light: Absorbed by porphyrins in the mitochondria, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excess ROS reduce ATP production, diminishing energy available to retinal cells and impairing function. - Red and infrared light: Absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase and by nano water around ATP synthase. Absorption releases nitric oxide, allowing oxygen to enter and form water. The longer wavelengths are also absorbed by nano water around ATP synthase, reducing viscosity and enabling the rotor to run faster, generating more ATP and providing more energy for retinal cells to function properly. The speaker attributes the observed improvements to these mitochondrial light–energy interactions, particularly the enhanced ATP production from red and infrared light. A practical takeaway is proposed: add incandescent lighting to the environment.

German doctor Alexander Wunsch, a photobiology expert, explains the hidden dangers of modern lighting. With the shift to energy efficient LEDs, we’ve lost out on the health benefits that infrared radiation in traditional incandescent bulbs and candlelight used to provide. Infrared and near infrared light can penetrate as much as an inch into tissue, even through clothing. Unlike natural sunlight, LEDs lack the near infrared light that’s essential for cellular repair, especially in the eyes and mitochondria where energy is produced. Infrared light can actually produce energy in your cells. Overexposure to the blue wavelength of light emitted by LEDs can lead to serious health issues like macular degeneration, which is the number one cause of blindness as we age. It also blocks melatonin release. In addition, these LEDs flicker rapidly, which isn’t visible to us, but it can disrupt cellular function and impact our mental and hormone health. So Wunsch suggests sticking with warm, clear incandescent bulbs, the old fashioned kind, if possible, especially in the evening, and getting natural sunlight exposure during the day. Now it’s not practical to avoid LEDs altogether. He acknowledges that reality. But when you need LED lighting, don’t just buy the cheapest ones. Buy bulbs with a low flicker rate, a high CRI, and R9 values above 90 if you can, because those are closest to natural light. The Centric series by Waveform Lighting and the Sora Vivid a 19 at polarray.com are good choices.

A speaker at an educational seminar stated research indicates children are smarter when their eyes see a lot of green. The speaker connected this to children traditionally spending time outside. They believe children's brains, bodies, and eyes develop better with equal physical and mental activity, such as running, jumping, climbing trees, and riding bikes. The speaker advocates for keeping children and adults outside as much as possible, claiming our brains are deteriorating too young.

This is what exercise does to your brain. The bottom image is the scan of the brain of the person that was walking for twenty minutes; there’s a significantly higher amount of brain activity. In 02/2009, Chuck Hillman from the University of Illinois decided to run a test to see if this meant exercise could make somebody smarter. 20 test subjects were evaluated on three areas. What they found was that the individuals that walked for twenty minutes had a significantly increased level of performance in reading comprehension. The results also indicated an improvement in response accuracy in addition to better performance in academic achievement tests, all of which was seen after twenty minutes of aerobic exercise. And so the authors concluded that this could potentially improve the cognitive control of attention within preadolescence.

A doctor stated that many children on behavioral medications may only be reacting to artificial food dyes, which are ironically present in many of those medications. A two-week dye-free period can reveal a food dye intolerance in emotionally disrupted children. Food dyes are found in obvious and hidden processed foods, restaurant food, theater popcorn, prescription and over-the-counter medications, mouthwash, toothpaste, fluoride treatments, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Identifying them requires reading the ingredients list. Any child with emotional disruption should be checked for an artificial food dye intolerance.

John Ott presents time-lapse photography revealing the impact of light on plant and animal life. He shows a primrose plant dancing to music by synchronizing light, temperature, and moisture. A banana plant produced fruit without pollination, and pumpkins yielded different sex blossoms based on fluorescent light type. Morning glories required red wavelengths filtered out for proper blooming. Tomato plants recovered from a virus under full spectrum sunlight. Chloroplasts streamed normally under full sunlight but clumped under filtered light. Animal studies showed mice developing tail lesions under pink fluorescent light, reversed by natural daylight. Blue plastic improved mink breeding, while pink plastic led to aggression. Blacklight UV improved fish health in aquariums. Rats bred under full spectrum fluorescent lights showed better parental instincts. A school with high leukemia rates had teachers keeping curtains closed and using pink-toned fluorescent lights. C3H mice lifespan was longer under full spectrum light. Experiments showed Mimosa pudica anesthetized by ether and reacting to wavelengths beyond visible light in a coal mine. Bean plants near TVs showed stimulated growth, while rats became aggressive. Hyperactive children improved when TV sets emitting X-rays were removed. Geraniums grew better near the center of full spectrum fluorescent tubes. Time-lapse of slime mold sporulation depended on cool white fluorescent light. Chelated iron improved gardenia growth. Fertilizer did not alter root growth patterns. Temperature affected black spot spores on roses and insect metamorphosis. Cancer cell division occurred after chilling. Fungi in nasal discharge and pollen activity were captured. Radar affected aphids. Tungsten filaments became rough with use. Sperm were attracted to eggs. Red blood cell clumping was reversed by full spectrum light.

In an experiment conducted in a standard first grade classroom, time lapse cameras documented behavior, with several hyperactive children observed, particularly a boy in the immediate foreground. Ninety days after replacing the regular cool white fluorescent tubes with a new type of full spectrum fluorescent tubes equipped with radiation shields, a marked improvement was noted in the classroom dynamics. The extremely hyperactive boy moved voluntarily to the front row, began raising his hand for recognition, and participated at the blackboard during classroom activities. Before the installation of the new lighting, this boy exhibited an extreme learning disability problem. Ninety days following the installation of the full spectrum lighting, he quickly learned to read. This notable change in his reading ability occurred within the same ninety-day period after the lights were introduced. In addition to the improvements observed in this individual student, there was a general average improvement reported in both the behavior and the academic achievement of the entire class. The observations suggest a broad positive impact on classroom performance following the switch to full spectrum fluorescent tubes with radiation shields, as documented by the time lapse footage.

Time lapse cameras were used in a 1st grade classroom to observe hyperactive children. After replacing the fluorescent tubes with new ones and radiation shields, there was a significant improvement. The hyperactive boy moved to the front row, participated in classroom activities, and learned to read within 90 days. The entire class showed improved behavior and academic achievement. It is important to consider other factors, but the biological effects of light and radiation, as observed through time lapse photography, are evident.

In the video, the speaker discusses the book "Health and Light" by Dr. John Ott, focusing on the topic of children paying attention in class. The speaker shares their personal experience of being a distracted student and highlights a particular observation from the book. It is mentioned that fluorescent bulbs can affect a certain percentage of children's ability to concentrate. However, when lead shielding was placed in front of the bulbs, one specific child immediately became more attentive and moved to the front of the class. The speaker emphasizes the significant role that lights play in our thinking abilities and suggests that this book prompts a reevaluation of their impact.
