Hi there 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 tips on how to repair it. And that is most likely 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 And I’m right here with my pal Ian Clark, who when he was 46 years outdated, he had numerous life-threatening well being points hit him all of sudden. And he, like I used to be, was pressured to start out trying to find his personal options. And refusing to just accept a unfavorable 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 almost sufficient and definitely not on the stage and the nuance that he explains it in the present day on this episode. So undoubtedly hearken to this one in regards to the elephant within the room on the subject 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 a part of Ian Clark. Ian, welcome. It’s all the time such a pleasure to get to speak to you, and I’m so glad we get to have this dialog in the present day.

Ian: Katie, yeah, it’s been some time. You’re trying nice.

Katie: Nicely, thanks. Yeah, we’re lengthy overdue for a catch-up. And I like that we’re going to get to go deep on what I believe are some actually necessary matters in the present day. I believe to start out broad, the title for this episode is in regards to the elephant within the room and the well being house. So I believe that’s the place we begin. What’s the elephant within the room?

Ian: Nicely, the elephant within the room is all the time one thing that isn’t apparent, it seems. We all the time assume that we’d by no means miss the elephant within the room. However 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. Meaning we breathe 4 million liters a yr. Between the age of 20 and 60, which means 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 may’t see or scent 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 huge quantities of air pollution like tire mud and brake mud. I’m not so nervous in regards to the gasoline. The automobiles are fairly environment friendly burning gasoline. However the tire mud and the brake mud are two massively big issues of those nanoparticles we breathe, they appear to be little razor blades. There’s 10 billion kilos of tire mud in the US launched into the environment 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 tips on how to repair that downside. However that’s the massive elephant within the room that individuals are lacking.

Katie: And what are a number of the results that that is having on the human physique? I imply, it is smart. I’ve all the time thought by way of triage, everyone will get so involved with what they eat and the dietary supplements they take, which, after all, will be essential as effectively. However once we have a look at it on an quantity of affect stage, we’re respiratory all day, on daily basis, even whereas we’re sleeping. Our hydration, I believe, can be necessary as a result of we are able to go for much longer with out meals than with out water. However air is the one that can kill us the quickest if we don’t have it. And the one which since we’re respiratory all day, on daily basis, looks like tremendous necessary. So what are a number of the issues that occur to the physique once we’re getting that buildup of all the things from the air?

Ian: Nicely, 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 pertaining to the within of your lungs. They’re that complicated. 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 might have solely 5 liters or 5 quarts of blood in your physique. So these 5 liters are going to switch by way of your total physique each 60 seconds. You might have 86,500 heartbeats per day. And also you pump that 5 liters as much as 7,600 liters of blood a day. So all the things 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 total 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 are 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, essential. However what I observed is that every one the individuals who had been actually well being aware, consuming one of the best meals, being aware of their atmosphere, ensuring their homes are clear. Ensuring that they’re hydrating, ensuring that they’re meditating, they’re conscious, they’re form, 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 large. As a result of even health-conscious folks have a median age of between 81 and 85 years outdated versus people who find themselves not health-conscious averaging between 74 and 79. So relying on what folks had been doing, effectively, that’s not very thrilling.

If you happen to may have the organic age of a 25 to a 35-year-old, indefinitely, the place you’re getting truly more healthy on daily basis going ahead, that’s the important thing efficiency indicator that we’re speaking about in the present day that we are able to obtain. So when your cells plug up, which means your organs should not functioning as effectively. 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 increase. 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 precise minerals anymore. Nicely, it doesn’t have the precise minerals. Nicely, folks will blame, you realize, all the things from the Second World Battle on the place they did monocropping. That’s an issue, however for hundreds 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 hundreds 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. If you go to the ocean and also you get the concentrated licensed pure sea minerals of their broad spectrum, unrefined, of their authentic 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 on daily basis. I batch make it, so I make seven or eight liters of this. So I solely drink two to a few 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. However 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 quicker 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 perform, you’ll discover your endocrine system shouldn’t be working as effectively, your digestive system, your circulatory, your respiratory, your complete system adjustments. It isn’t getting higher.

So, as a way to reverse that, and it took me 15 years to truly 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 massive ones that had been lacking to see the image. And I engaged the total protocol simply after I turned 64 years outdated. By the point I turned 65, I used to be dwelling 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 realize that the rationale that individuals are involved in this stuff is since you wish to have a physique that’s in nice situation so long as potential. As a result of then you definately will be extra useful as a result of the older you get, the wiser you develop into, the extra skilled you might be, the extra worthwhile you might be. So if you happen to get an additional 10 years and one other additional 10 years and one other additional 10 years, and you retain doing that with these ideas, you develop into increasingly more worthwhile on the earth to your family members, to your colleagues, to your mates, to folks you convey worth to. And that’s the objective, is to remain alive bodily so long as humanly potential. However the caveat is you need to have exceptionally good well being. As a result of in any other case, if you happen to lookup the longest-living folks on Earth, that’s not the image we would like as a result of they appear horrible, after which they die. And the longer they reside, the extra they undergo, and the extra they’re sad till they lastly move. 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 might have 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, a lot 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 likewise, by way of loads of the issues that we’ve talked about in previous conversations of nurturing the bodily physique, I believe additionally helps nurture your inside expertise as effectively and vice versa. Prefer it creates very optimistic suggestions loops. I believe 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 in the present day, I see an enormous 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’re taking people who find themselves captivated with any topic, possibly it’s music or artwork, or possibly they’re into, you realize, good automobiles or stunning properties or structure or no matter they’ve an curiosity in. What do you do when you are interested in a topic is you be taught all the things 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 assist our physique’s potential to take care of itself? As a result of we are able to assist the upkeep, however our physique is routinely sustaining itself. So these ideas begin within the physiological world. Lots of people say, “Oh, you realize, I wish to change the outcomes.” You realize, lots of people have dangerous 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. Nicely, 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. Nicely, what’s in between your physiology on the backside and the highest is you might have streams of information. Your physique is producing, you may think about the quantity of information going by way of. It’s greater than any laptop 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, “Nicely, your conduct is poor, you might have dangerous 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’ll be able to level in any respect the issues that individuals are doing flawed within the behavioral world, and that’s why you’re getting dangerous outcomes. That’s true. You’ll be able to’t inform any person 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 impression your pondering. And your emotions are pushed from emotion. Emotion shouldn’t be feeling, it’s simply emotion. And the phrase emotion comes from power in movement. The emotion is pushed out of your physiological well-being or sickness. If you happen to’re not effectively physiologically, it creates power and movement that you simply don’t need. That makes you are feeling dangerous. You may be depressed or anxious. You may be drained and have poor power. You would possibly really feel badly about your self, that you simply’re not ok, or you realize, what’s flawed?

After which that can trigger your pondering to be very poor and unfavorable, creating behaviors which are in search of a symptom, possibly 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 power emotion, makes you are feeling incredible. You’re glad to be alive, you’re like, “Oh thank God I realized all this stuff, and I’m getting this nice feeling.” And then you definately go into your pondering, your pondering is vastly improved as a result of now you’re taking an excellent optimistic method to everyone and all the things routinely, no matter circumstance. And that pondering then creates conduct that’s like, “Hey, I wish 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 tips on how to assist the meanings of it. And your emotions are, it’s like a enterprise. If you happen to don’t have cash within the account to make payroll, how do you are feeling? Dangerous, proper? You’re not glad. Your feelings have pushed within the enterprise aspect. 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 precise factor, and it’s you who pays the worth you may’t afford if you happen to do the flawed factor. So we don’t wish to speak about, “Oh, I’ve obtained 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 are 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 absolutely developed. Now you might be 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 power. I’ve obtained extra endurance. My mind is working much better. I’ve a greater reminiscence. My endocrine system is producing all the precise hormones on the proper time of the day and the precise time of the month. I’ve my autonomic nervous system is tremendous glad. I can put myself in parasympathetic anytime I select. I can put myself in sympathetic stress anytime I wish to get the job executed. 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 be taught and the extra you do the precise issues.

Katie: Nicely, and I like this about you since you appear to have an countless curiosity, which I like. And I, like as you talked about, we’ve been mates for now over 10 years, and we’ve gotten to have so many desirable conversations as you retain asking questions and hold discovering new solutions. And also you’re all the time very solutions-focused, which I like, not problems-focused. And this particularly strains up a lot with, I’ve not executed as a lot analysis as you, however I hold coming again to minerals being so key and the way our trendy way of life doesn’t set us up for fulfillment 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 everyone 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 sometimes lived in very mineral-rich areas and nurtured actually robust group. And I’d preface that probably these two elements are rather more necessary than whether or not or not they did or didn’t drink wine. However I like that you simply’re open to this dialog with minerals and particularly the standard as a result of I believe I’ve seen this play out in my well being for positive. My organic age I lately examined was nearly 10 years beneath my precise age. So it was about 26, I consider. And I believe as I dial this stuff in additional, I’d 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 stage and the blood stage of this and why it’s so necessary. However on a extra particular stage, what does that arc appear to be? How shortly can our physique transfer again to a greater state once we get this stuff dialed in?

Ian: Nicely, it’s a really speedy motion. So relying on how outdated you might be presently, like if you happen to’re 20 years outdated, you may keep the 20-year-old standing for an indefinitely very long time, like repeatedly. In case you are a 64 years outdated like I used to be, it took a full yr of creating positive I used to be taking a big quantity of the ocean minerals all day lengthy. And I watched my physique instantly start to alter. So, but it surely took a yr. 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 may 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 stuck 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 a few months.

My cardiovascular system. Your cardiovascular system will enhance instantly the primary day, and it will likely 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 ingesting the correct quantity 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, “Nicely, truly, I’m ingesting salt water.” He goes, “No, you bought to cease that. You need to cease ingesting the salt water. Didn’t you realize that salt causes hypertension? How a lot are you ingesting?” “Nicely, I’m ingesting a pound of salt a month in liquid type.” “Oh, no, no, you bought to cease that utterly. And we obtained to place you on diuretics. As a result of you might have means an excessive amount of blood in your system. You’ve obtained to cut back the quantity of blood. You’ve obtained hardened arteries, sir. You might have kidneys which are plugged up. You’re making an attempt to pressure extra blood by way of kidneys which are solely working at 35%. You bought to reverse this.” And I’d go, “Nicely, sir, truly ingesting salt water doesn’t trigger that.” “Sure, it does. It’s the one factor you began doing that precipitated it. You might have excellent blood stress, and abruptly, you’re at 180 or 120. Nicely, simply cling on a bit.”

And inside seven months of ingesting the identical quantity on daily basis, my blood stress went right down to regular ranges. I used to be nonetheless ingesting simply as a lot. Nicely, 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. They usually obtained 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 precipitated it. It was the gorgeous quantities of volumes of fresh blood that precipitated it, and that additionally fastened the issue.

My mind perform 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. If you happen to cry a tear, what does it style like? Ocean water. If you happen to sweat, what does that style like? Salt, ocean water. You might have blood and lymph fluids, 80% of your physique is like ocean water. And since you’re ingesting water with out the ocean minerals in it, the water is eradicating these valuable minerals out of your system that you simply want very a lot. Folks say, “Nicely, I drink mineral water.” Nicely, let me let you know, the mineral water that’s dissolved rocks as a result of water is a solvent, dissolving rock. That’s not the minerals you may construct blood with. That doesn’t enable you. 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 adjustments as they undergo a bit little bit of a curler coaster journey as a result of it does have an effect on you. So the symptom of 180 over 120 I now understand shouldn’t be hypertension. Now, can I let you know one other story that can shock you?

Katie: Completely.

Ian: This entails my spouse. And individuals are going to freak out after they hear this. I advised her about this. And he or she’s by no means actually been an excellent adamant well being advocate, however she’s all the time lived a fairly wholesome life. You realize, she runs our farm as all natural meals. And he or she began ingesting the salt water. She has had seven kids. We had seven kids collectively. And so her physique was obese in consequence as a result of she by no means actually paid consideration to loads of the stuff. And her blood stress began to go up. Inside three months, the blood stress monitor that I take advantage of at dwelling would not learn. It goes as much as 330, and it could go to an error. And I believed it was my machine that was the issue. So I took her right down to the skilled unit of the drug retailer. She obtained on that, and she or he maxed it out and it went into an error. She was at the least 400 over one thing in that class. And he or she felt completely high-quality. And he or she saved ingesting. 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 ingesting 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 noticed, “Maintain it. I believe we’re being advised some misinformation about blood stress.” She didn’t have any disagreeable signs from having blood stress at that stage. 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 expect is correct scientific information, you can’t have that occur to you. Now, I didn’t count on that to do this to her, I’d have thought that was very harmful, however she obtained 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 she or he 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-about excessive, but it surely didn’t matter. I believe she broke a world report. She’s 62 years outdated. So, it’s, life is a thriller.

Katie: Nicely, and I like this as a result of I really feel prefer it actually challenges loads of the assumptions associated to issues like salt consumption and blood stress and what they really imply. And I believe this goes again to first ideas and asking higher inquiries to get higher solutions. I like that you simply additionally talked about, you realize, we all the time hear that our physique is, the vast majority of our physique is water, however that’s not truly an correct assertion. Nearly all of our physique is salt water. And so, I actually assume over simply over-hydrating with out the mineral element most likely can do extra hurt than good over the long term, particularly relying on the supply of that water as effectively.

However I additionally all the time return to, you realize, 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 tips on how to assist 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 dangerous for us. And when you find yourself speaking about these tales which are simply so putting and the way that has modified for each you and on your spouse, and I’d guess for a lot of different folks now as effectively.

Ian: Oh yeah, for positive, everybody. There was one colleague that I’ve who’s 19, and she or he began ingesting 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 could be 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 discipline for 17 years, and I obtained actually contaminated. I began coughing up white glue. I had no no fever, no an infection in any respect. These items 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 whole month of hacking these items up. And individuals are me in public going, “What’s flawed with you?” If I used to be at an occasion and I’m having to go away 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 executed as a result of I haven’t had it occur once more. However we’ll see. However our lungs are this huge matrix. So respiratory was instantly fastened.

And the opposite factor that I observed was my digestive well being obtained excellent. As a result of whenever you drink these sea minerals within the water on a relentless foundation, it’s also 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 total life. The whole lot 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 a few 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 realize, 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 eating regimen, you bought to have excessive pH. Nicely, that’s a mythology as a result of the minerals stability your pH completely. Your abdomen has 1.5 pH. Your liver’s operating at 5.8. Your kidneys at 5.6. All these completely different organs have various things. Your blood is all the time 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 made from rubber, cotton, epoxes, resins, plastics, microplastics, chemical compounds, and metals. And also you’re respiratory it. You’ll be able to’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 may 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.

Katie: I like that. And I 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 like additionally that you simply talked about {the electrical} element as a result of I learn the e-book years in the past, The Physique Electrical, and it reframed how I considered 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, thus far, having nice outcomes with. And I believe it comes again to minerals a lot. And this can be a recurring theme on this podcast, for positive. And I like that we obtained to take it even a stage deeper this time.
