Andrew Marino, a physicist and a lawyer, was the physicist and lawyer for Dr. Robert In fact, he was the guy that made good on Albert St. Georgie’s prediction that proteins were semiconductors. He worked for the military and did studies on the sanguine antenna built in Wisconsin to track submarines and found out that they caused problems. Information was delivered to the military in 1973, and Becker found that there was a lot more problems with electromagnetic pollution that’d be uncovered between Niagara Falls and New York City with power lines. When the military wouldn’t listen to him, he went on TV with Wallace on sixty Minutes, polled the nation, and literally a couple weeks after that, his lab was completely defunded. And remember, this guy was three times nominated for the Nobel Prize. The reason it never made waves, because remember, nobody back then had a salt on and nobody had a microwave oven, only the red. K? And just so you know, this was on the front page of the Boston Globe in 1977. So Marino was the guy, the physicist in his lab, who actually in congressional testimony in the early seventies, actually told the government, leading the congress, this is published in the archives. You can go read it yourself, satellites above the earth affected the magnetosphere, 80,000 kilometers from base stations on the surface of the earth. So the proof is there, my friend, but they've ignored it. So if you read his book, it's called Going Somewhere written by Andrew Marino. When I hear scientists tell me that non ADVMF can affect us because it's not ionizing radiation, that book alleviates all of them. The other thing I would say, his Roland Van Wyck’s book is beautiful to lay out all the stuff about biophotons and the stuff that the Russians have found and the biophoton research done by the Japanese and the Europeans. It's well researched. All the stuff about quantum mechanically has happened in biology from 2007 to current. We know that it's operational in photosynthesis. You now have books out written by Jim L. Callely and John Joy McFadden. The Life at the End where you'll learn about the Klitschko's experiment with European robins to figure out how birds navigate utilizing libido reception and free radical signaling in their eyes through cryptochromes. In other words, this science is well laid out. The problem is, it's not well known. And in your podcast, I'm laying out the reason why it's not well known because if you really knew what's really published, you probably wouldn't put he Jobs iPhone up to the side of your head and then you'll read Isaacson's biography and realize why Jobs didn't let his own kids use it. Why? Remember, every time Steve Jobs went to an iMac conference, everybody remembers his worn out popular Levi's. Remember that he died from a retroperitoneal camp. Don't ever forget that. Don't ever forget the story of the iPad that had an infrared detector based into it that Apple never marketed. Do you know why that was in there? Because when a child got an iPad and it touched its leg, you would turn off RF and microwave emission. So that tells you that Apple knew exactly what was going on. But they never marketed it because you would ask the question, why do you have an infrared turn on? The reason is simple, my friend. All the people listening to this, most of the young people, their digital babysitter is their iPhone and their iPad that they hand kids. And they're causing brain damage in every single child because that blue light is ruining the melanopsin sickling everywhere in their body. But the reason why that's good is because you're creating obedient idiots to make TikTok videos in the future.

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.

Speaker 0 argues that LEDs emit radio frequencies that harm people, the same stuff that comes from a cell phone, and that blue light is toxic to our body. They claim a digital light on your face and a street light on your face, and criticize putting LEDs all over faces as silly. If sticking to any type of colored bulb, they say you should use incandescent or halogen or a UV bulb, and “you just go tanning.” They state there’s no need to put LEDs on the face and suggest it should be outlawed because they were never pushed. They claim LEDs are linked to cataracts and mess up health, causing a lot of brain fog, making people unable to focus; in the grocery store, people can’t think because the lights are affecting health. If natural light isn’t available, they recommend getting a candle and placing candles and salt lamps around the house, or, if not, using incandescents or halogens and not bringing LEDs into the house. They further claim that many people with health issues like ringing in the ears are affected by LEDs and Wi-Fi in the home, and that this combination will mess you up.

The speaker explains that since the switch from sodium vapor lights in 2020 to LEDs in 2021, pollen has increased dramatically in Arizona. They attribute this rise to the lighting change, arguing that the warm light from the old sodium vapor lamps created female plants, whereas the LEDs have now caused plants to be male, resulting in “pollen galore” even in hot 102-degree weather. The speaker cites Doctor John Ott as the source of the idea that certain lights influence plants to become female or male. If someone is experiencing pollen issues around their house, the speaker asserts, they should avoid LEDs and instead use incandescent lighting. The speaker repeats the claim and emphasizes that the problem is due to the lighting change. They assert that “they switched all the lights” and that this is the cause of the pollen problem, labeling those affected as “Muppets.” They reference Doctor John Ott as someone whose work supports the notion that lighting can determine plant gender, and they encourage viewers to look into Ott’s work to verify this claim. In closing, the speaker reiterates the main point: pollen galore in Arizona is linked to the transition from sodium vapor to LED lighting. They advocate using incandescent lighting as a remedy and point listeners to a source (10001000bulbs.com) to find incandescent bulbs. The overall message centers on a claimed causal link between the lighting type and plant gender expression, which the speaker ties to a broader pollen issue, urging avoidance of LEDs in favor of incandescent options. Throughout, they express frustration with what they view as a misunderstanding of the pollen problem and label the situation as a consequence of the lighting switch.

The transcript discusses LED lights and a supposed IoT (Internet of Things) capability. It states that on 04/09/2019, Target confirmed they had provided Internet of Things lighting. IoT lighting means everything is connected and data can be collected from ongoing activities. The example given is that if you walk into Target with your phone, the lights will sync up to your phone to obtain data about what you’re purchasing and what you’re doing. The narration links this event to the period just before 2020, suggesting it occurred prior to the surge in shopping and alleged shortages that year. The speaker then asserts that these LED lights have microscopic cameras in them so they can watch people from every angle. The claim is that other stores, such as Whole Foods, are using similar technology in price tags that can scan and see who is buying items to collect data. The main takeaway presented is that if you bring LED lights into your home, the same type of technology claimed to be in these stores could be in the LED lights you bring into your house.

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.

In winter, the lack of sunlight and the release of melatonin between 2 to 3 AM can make people feel a bit crazy. The moonlight color affects our consciousness, and when the full moon is out or we are exposed to too much blue and white light, we can become a bit unhinged. That's why during winter, people start craving red and feel the need to go on vacation to warmer places. Our eyes play a crucial role in how our body functions, as they are the windows to our soul. Every bodily function is impacted by the colors we see.

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.

Switching from an iPhone 13 back to an iPhone 11 has been the single biggest game changer in terms of product swaps I have made in my eight-year health journey. This is predominantly because the iPhone 11 has little to no flicker. Light flicker from LEDs is one of the most under discussed and underrated stressors to our biology, in my opinion, and it's really problematic for our nervous system and our eyes and our brain. It might be the reason why everyone is so drained after staring at screens all day long, especially their smartphones. Smartphones are worse because they are using OLED displays, and the iPhone 11 is the last generation before they shifted to an OLED display. The smartphones are using what's called pulse width modulation light control at a frequency that is just above visual perception, but is really activating to our nervous system, our eyes, and our brain. You can see this if you have a super slow motion camera and take a video of your iPhone or any modern smartphone. And once you see this, you cannot unsee it because that is what we're staring at all day long. Researchers, even engineers, agree that pulse width modulation light flicker can have severe side effects such as migraines, eye strain, causing epileptic episodes, aggravating symptoms in ASD children, anxiety, panic attacks, etcetera. As someone who suffered from post concussive syndrome, had one too many TBIs, I am really sensitive to pulse width modulation light flicker. So when I shifted back to the iPhone 11, it was truly life changing. Now the iPhone 11 also has fewer frequency bands that it operates in and no five G, which is another benefit. However, the battery life is pretty terrible. It's worth the trade off for me and is also why you have seen a few other folks in the health space talking about switching back to the iPhone 11. I love to see this trend, and I think anyone that has trouble with eye strain, that has trouble with regulating their nervous system, that has a history of concussions should really check out switching back to the iPhone 11 as their main smartphone.

Speaker 0 says that at the lows people are buying incandescent bulbs because of a new ban, and it is important to stock up on these bulbs. Incandescent bulbs are described as very natural to our eyes, and it is emphasized that one should put incandescent bulbs into the home and not LEDs. The speaker claims the problem with LED lights is that they burn out the back of the eye, which “causes cataracts,” and that smart bulbs and devices connected to WiFi ping radiation to the skull while plugged in. Therefore, the advice is to avoid anything with LED and anything that's smart—specifically, smart remote, smart sensors, smart plugs, and smart bulbs. The speaker notes that these are all LED lights installed in the hardware store. Additionally, the speaker urges avoiding anything with Bluetooth built in because Bluetooth operates at the same frequency as a microwave. The overall message is that many marketing tactics push the new bulbs, but one should stick to incandescent bulbs.

In the video, Speaker 0 explains that LED lights are being pushed aggressively, even given away for free, because they will connect everything in the Internet of Things. These LED lights can be connected to a cellphone, a tablet, all home appliances, the thermostat, cars, the garage, and more, allowing monitoring and data collection from these devices. They can also be used to turn off devices based on climate reasons and other factors, meaning you are connected up to the Internet of Things. What’s interesting, according to the speaker, is that these LED lights “ping a lot of microwave radiation,” which will be demonstrated in the next video. The speaker describes using a TriField EMF tester to check the radiation coming off the LED lights and shows results labeled as “off the charts.” The claim is that by bringing these lights into the home, microwave radiation is being pinged into the house. The speaker asserts that this microwave radiation can impact health, listing effects on the heart, brain, eyes, skin, and other organs. The LED lights’ capability to connect to the Internet of Things is highlighted again as part of this scenario. The video then notes a claim about a 2016 announcement from the AMA, stating that LED lights can increase the risk of cataracts and eye degeneration, implying long-term harm to eyesight while allegedly promoting environmental aims. In summary, the narrator claims: - LED lights are being pushed and given away because they enable the Internet of Things, connecting to smartphones, tablets, home appliances, thermostats, cars, and garages for monitoring and control. - These LEDs allegedly “ping a lot of microwave radiation,” detectable with an EMF tester, described as “off the charts.” - The radiation entering the home is claimed to impact health, including the heart, brain, eyes, skin, and other organs, in addition to enabling IoT connectivity. - The speaker cites a 2016 AMA statement asserting that LED lights can increase the risk of cataracts and eye degeneration.

In the discussion, LED light bulbs are described as toxic and advisable to carry a warning label. The speaker presents two specific warnings about LED lighting: - Warning 1: The flicker effect. LED lights flicker at a frequency that is unperceptible to the eye but claimed to be brain-disrupting, potentially leading to sleep disturbances, migraines and headaches, brain fog and fatigue, and harm to the health of the eyes. - Warning 2: Unhealthy levels of blue light. LED lights are said to emit high levels of blue light, which can disrupt the circadian rhythm and affect mood. The speaker asserts the following factual contrasts to incandescent and halogen lighting: LED lights drain energy and life from the body, whereas incandescent and halogen lighting contain a full spectrum of light and infrared light that supposedly adds energy and light to the body, making people healthy. A call to action is issued to switch out lighting, with an optimistic note that the 2022 ban on incandescence and halogens might be reversed in 2025. The message emphasizes that these symptoms and effects can be life-altering for some individuals, and it ends with a request to share the video.

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.

There's no reason to bring any LEDs into your home. The none. Zero. Zilch. No reason at all. There are incandescent bulbs all over the place. And if people say I can't find them, you haven't searched. All you gotta do is type in incandescent bulbs. They will come up. You should have incandescent bulbs in your house. If you don't have incandescents, you could have halogens. If you don't have halogens, you could get those little reptile bulbs. And it's funny because the reptiles have better light bulbs than the humans. You know all the reptile bulbs are incandescent red light bulbs. That's what keeps the reptile healthy. So the reptiles have incandescent red bulbs, but the humans have LED cold bulbs. So yeah, when you start to sit here and think about the whole thing with you know why they're pushing LEDs is because they want your light bulbs to hook up to your WiFi, to hook up to your Bluetooth, to hook up all your devices in your house.

Speaker 1 says we’ve all been sold sexy products that are fun, but the risks aren’t being shared. They offer a free public education webinar every month, two hours, to walk through the science, and for cliff notes they provide the following immediate observations people may notice: - Headaches - Nosebleeds - Anxiety - Depression - Insomnia They describe this as a neurotoxin that pulsates our biological system many, many times per second, more than the Earth’s natural electromagnetic field. The brain perceives this invisible light energy as the lights are on, which disrupts the circadian rhythm in the wee hours of darkness. Melatonin suppression is singled out as a major consequence, affecting sleep and the nighttime cell repair and regeneration processes. The blood-brain barrier is a membrane surrounding the brain that helps keep toxins out of sensitive brain areas. The speaker claims that constant pulsing with man-made microwave radiofrequency opens up or permeates the blood-brain barrier, allowing toxins to accompany blood into the brain and contributing to increased neurotoxicity today. The speaker also mentions something called rouleaux formation. When radiating devices like a phone are held, the pinky finger tingles. Citing Dr. Magda Havas and Dr. Rob Brown, they say this exposure leads to rouleaux formation. The speaker explains rouleaux as red blood cells that are normally free-floating and deliver oxygen throughout the body being affected by microwave radiation, causing red blood cells to become magnetized and stick together, forming chains like a stack of coins that cannot efficiently reach tissues and organs to deliver oxygen. Rouleaux formation is described as a very serious concern.

Mark Baker, founder and president of the Soft Lights Foundation, argues that LED lights are devastating to health and leverages his personal experiences to advocate for change. The interview explores how blue-rich LED lighting has become ubiquitous, including car headlights, streetlights, household general service lamps, and indicators on appliances, as well as assorted night-time sources like smoke detectors and alarm indicators. Baker describes his awakening to the issue in the mid-2010s. While teaching in California, he noticed blue-rich LED headlights and 5,000 Kelvin LED streetlights that disrupted his psychological well-being. An apartment on the second floor was flooded with intense light, leading to a mental breakdown when his school district refused to switch off the lights. This event redirected him from teaching to full-time advocacy, involving him in learning the physics of light, government regulation, and connections with others suffering from LED exposure around the world. He recounts that many people initially resist confronting LED issues because the problem feels overwhelming. He notes the pervasiveness of LED lighting—car headlights, streetlights, household lamps, and even emergency vehicle lights—and emphasizes that bureaucrats often feel overwhelmed, which can impede action. He describes a community of people who report a range of sensitivities and health effects linked to LED exposure, including migraines, epileptic seizures, and, in some cases, suicidal ideation, as well as driving difficulties for people with astigmatism. He frames the community as “canaries in a coal mine,” highlighting that different people have different sensitivities and that some may be unaware of how LED lighting affects their sleep or mood. The discussion highlights that LED lights emit a spike at blue wavelengths, particularly around 450 nanometers, which is tied to regulating circadian rhythms and wakefulness. Baker argues that artificial light at night interferes with melatonin suppression and cellular repair processes, thereby disrupting sleep and health. He asserts that the natural night environment should be preserved as much as possible and that LEDs, with their spectral distribution and lack of infrared, diverge significantly from natural light. On how LEDs work, Baker explains that LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, a solid-state lighting technology that emits photons through an electronic process, not combustion. He highlights issues such as flicker due to drivers, directional light emission, and the spectral power distribution across wavelengths. He notes that the Department of Energy acknowledged the directional nature of LED light and, at one point, eliminated infrared light as waste heat; later, scientists recognized the benefits of infrared light for certain applications. He contends that the shift from incandescent to LED lighting was pursued for energy savings but without proper standards for safety, flicker, or quality, and without adequate evaluation by the FDA, which the law required to collaborate with the DOE. Baker traces the policy trajectory: the 2005 Energy Policy Act directed DOE to evaluate solid-state lighting, and by 2007 the minimum luminous efficacy standard (45 lumens per watt) effectively phased out incandescent bulbs. He argues that the DOE did not ensure safety or quality standards, focusing only on efficiency. This, he claims, led to widespread adoption of LEDs without comprehensive health safeguards and without FDA oversight. Regarding sleep and nighttime exposure, Baker cites evidence that even tiny indicators and devices in bedrooms—smoke detectors, nightlights, routers, and other LED indicators—can interfere with sleep and circadian rhythms. He notes that skin exposure to light also influences physiological processes, expanding the scope beyond ocular effects. He stresses the potential health risks associated with long-term exposure, including cancer, diabetes, and mood disorders. Regarding solutions, Baker argues for reintroducing incandescent technology and reducing reliance on LED-heavy lighting, while pushing for FDA evaluation and regulation of LED products. He mentions practical adjustments, such as choosing lower color temperatures (around 2700 Kelvin or lower), avoiding flicker, and using alternative bulbs for fixtures where possible. He describes programs and campaigns by the Soft Lights Foundation, including a petition against blinding car headlights and a system for LED incident reporting to the FDA. He points to resources on softlights.org, a campaign to stop blue-rich LED headlights, and a Facebook group called Ban Blinding LEDs for community support. For actionable guidance, Baker encourages individuals to minimize night-time LED exposure in their environments, shield streetlights when possible, switch to warmer lighting, and seek regulatory change to allow safer lighting options, including incandescent or incandescent-inspired LEDs with infrared components. He invites people to learn more through Soft Lights Foundation resources and to participate in advocacy and reporting efforts.
