WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:03.780
If our cholesterol, including LDL is too low,

00:04.460 --> 00:08.320
that has the most detrimental effect on our health

00:08.320 --> 00:09.880
as well as our fertility.

00:10.240 --> 00:12.140
This is the True Health Report

00:12.370 --> 00:15.960
where critical appraisal fuels true freedom.

00:22.180 --> 00:24.020
Hello everyone and welcome.

00:24.500 --> 00:29.560
I have a very important topic to discuss today

00:30.170 --> 00:32.280
and which is fertility

00:32.790 --> 00:36.180
and also there will be a bonus hypothesis

00:36.180 --> 00:39.180
about sexually transmitted diseases

00:39.180 --> 00:43.100
for those of you who may still be wondering about that

00:43.100 --> 00:45.600
in the context of terrain theory.

00:46.180 --> 00:51.060
So if we look at some of the international organizations,

00:51.500 --> 00:54.640
major news outlets, sources like the United Nations

00:54.640 --> 00:57.260
and Bill Gates, they would have us believe

00:57.260 --> 01:00.820
that we are facing a population crisis

01:00.820 --> 01:05.700
that has consequences against humanity.

01:06.020 --> 01:09.560
Of course, this is within various false narratives

01:10.100 --> 01:12.900
such as public health or global health

01:12.900 --> 01:16.000
as well as climate change.

01:16.320 --> 01:19.540
But if we look at actual data,

01:19.860 --> 01:23.240
we get a very, very different story.

01:23.500 --> 01:27.080
So that's where I'm going to begin today.

01:27.200 --> 01:29.380
So let me bring up my slides.

01:29.380 --> 01:33.440
All right, so I'm going to talk about this

01:33.440 --> 01:37.020
from the perspective of men and women here.

01:37.200 --> 01:38.700
So you're going to see some things

01:38.700 --> 01:40.240
that might be gender specific,

01:40.580 --> 01:44.000
but this is generally speaking about fertility

01:44.000 --> 01:45.200
across the board.

01:45.560 --> 01:47.740
So what we can look at here though

01:47.740 --> 01:50.680
is hormone levels of sex hormones.

01:50.960 --> 01:55.300
We have heard a lot about this crisis of low T

01:55.300 --> 01:58.520
among the male, middle-aged and aging population,

01:58.520 --> 02:02.240
especially, but we can see this really in all age ranges.

02:02.580 --> 02:05.800
And what we have here are graphs that show

02:05.800 --> 02:07.980
the level of total testosterone

02:07.980 --> 02:10.840
and on the x-axis we have people's age

02:10.840 --> 02:12.520
and there are three different data sets.

02:12.760 --> 02:17.160
The top line is the levels from 1987 to 89,

02:17.460 --> 02:20.140
the middle line from 95 to 97

02:20.140 --> 02:22.740
and the bottom line from 02 to 04.

02:23.120 --> 02:26.480
And we can see if we look at each successive line

02:26.480 --> 02:31.020
in time that the starting testosterone levels were lower

02:31.020 --> 02:34.340
and we can do this based on the exact age match

02:34.340 --> 02:37.580
if you look up vertically from the x-axis.

02:38.380 --> 02:41.040
And we can also see that over the lifespan

02:41.040 --> 02:44.800
from mid-40s up until the 80s

02:44.800 --> 02:48.360
that we have declines in total testosterone level,

02:48.480 --> 02:50.320
but also the shape of this curve

02:50.320 --> 02:54.660
has changed from the 80s and 90s to the 2000s

02:54.660 --> 02:58.520
where now rather than testosterone leveling off

02:58.520 --> 03:01.700
at around age originally 60

03:01.700 --> 03:04.740
and then 70 in the subsequent data set,

03:04.920 --> 03:08.480
now instead of leveling off or slightly rising at that point

03:08.480 --> 03:11.360
it continues to go down at a precipitous rate.

03:11.820 --> 03:14.160
So something has occurred

03:14.160 --> 03:16.400
that has brought about this change

03:16.400 --> 03:19.000
in testosterone in men,

03:19.120 --> 03:21.480
which has become a major health issue.

03:21.480 --> 03:24.820
Now we can also look at the male perspective

03:24.820 --> 03:27.100
in terms of sperm count.

03:27.480 --> 03:30.960
Now, sperm count is not the only variable to look at

03:30.960 --> 03:33.080
that tells you about sperm's ability

03:33.080 --> 03:36.520
to conceive and engage in fertility behaviors

03:36.520 --> 03:40.460
because there's also the shape or morphology of the sperm,

03:40.900 --> 03:44.560
the motility or movement of the sperm and other variables.

03:44.780 --> 03:46.300
But if we just look at the count,

03:46.540 --> 03:48.640
we can see here now this data

03:48.640 --> 03:51.380
was regressed into a line

03:51.380 --> 03:53.840
so that you can see the average change

03:53.840 --> 03:56.460
over the time period in a linear fashion,

03:56.500 --> 03:59.000
but it didn't occur exactly that way.

03:59.120 --> 04:02.540
But we can see that when we compare the data

04:02.540 --> 04:05.180
from 50 years ago, 1973,

04:06.160 --> 04:09.320
there was an average of 101 million sperm

04:09.320 --> 04:11.940
per milliliter of seminal fluid.

04:12.280 --> 04:14.780
And now in 2018, in the more recent data,

04:14.780 --> 04:18.920
there is just under half of that number on average.

04:19.200 --> 04:22.300
Now, this paper actually updates a previous paper

04:22.300 --> 04:26.960
that was missing some continents, specifically Africa

04:26.960 --> 04:31.000
and I believe Australia, but I don't quote me on that.

04:31.100 --> 04:34.580
But this data set includes really the entire earth.

04:35.100 --> 04:37.420
And if we look at the blue and red line

04:37.420 --> 04:38.980
at the bottom left panel,

04:39.180 --> 04:44.360
we have basically the change from 1972 to the present

04:44.780 --> 04:48.700
and then another data set that just looks at the past 20 years.

04:48.920 --> 04:52.840
So the blue line looks at 50 years to up to 2018

04:53.340 --> 04:56.640
and the red line just looks at the past 18 years.

04:56.760 --> 04:58.980
And you can see that the rate of decline

04:58.980 --> 05:01.140
is accelerating over time,

05:01.140 --> 05:04.080
just like we saw with the decline

05:04.080 --> 05:07.780
in testosterone levels in the previous data set.

05:08.040 --> 05:10.140
Now, if we look at fertility,

05:10.560 --> 05:13.020
which is defined in this paper

05:13.020 --> 05:17.920
as the number of offspring that a woman has

05:17.920 --> 05:20.500
during her reproductive years in her lifetime,

05:20.720 --> 05:25.380
going back to 1963 up through 2020,

05:25.860 --> 05:28.960
we can see that back in the 60s

05:28.960 --> 05:32.820
that women had around five plus children

05:32.820 --> 05:35.180
on average over their reproductive years,

05:35.440 --> 05:40.140
but now it is down under two and a half, okay?

05:40.140 --> 05:43.620
And this is also global data, okay?

05:43.820 --> 05:44.920
So worldwide data,

05:45.060 --> 05:47.980
if we looked just in Western countries,

05:48.200 --> 05:49.580
we'd see lower numbers.

05:50.180 --> 05:51.900
One interesting thing on this,

05:52.140 --> 05:53.740
back to the study for a second

05:53.740 --> 05:55.960
is that they also looked at the relationship

05:55.960 --> 05:58.340
between the world gross domestic product

05:58.340 --> 05:59.880
and total fertility rate

05:59.880 --> 06:02.000
and found an inverse relationship.

06:02.240 --> 06:04.200
So as countries got wealthier,

06:04.400 --> 06:05.920
their fertility rates declined.

06:06.240 --> 06:08.840
And this is commonly thought of to be explained

06:08.840 --> 06:10.960
as people have more resources,

06:11.200 --> 06:13.400
they decide to have less children,

06:13.480 --> 06:16.220
but I don't think that really explains this finding.

06:16.560 --> 06:18.980
Now, if we look just in the United States,

06:19.380 --> 06:23.680
and this is still several years ago back to 2017,

06:24.500 --> 06:27.840
that we see that the birth rates

06:27.840 --> 06:31.940
or fertility rates was already below replacement levels.

06:32.780 --> 06:35.940
And by a significant margin of 16%,

06:35.940 --> 06:39.960
and I believe that the numbers have only gotten more drastic.

06:40.260 --> 06:42.940
And what this means is that if we continue

06:42.940 --> 06:44.460
at this current birth rate

06:44.460 --> 06:48.260
that our population is going to decline precipitously.

06:48.480 --> 06:50.820
And there is a theoretical point

06:50.820 --> 06:52.980
of a decline of a population

06:52.980 --> 06:56.080
where it basically they become extinct

06:56.080 --> 06:57.480
or it's very, very difficult

06:57.480 --> 07:01.140
to reestablish a significant population.

07:01.440 --> 07:03.200
So this is quite serious

07:03.200 --> 07:05.440
and obviously completely the opposite

07:05.440 --> 07:08.860
of what we're told about overpopulation being problem.

07:09.080 --> 07:13.800
So let's now talk about what could be the cause of this issue.

07:14.060 --> 07:15.920
And we're going to start off talking

07:15.920 --> 07:18.220
about endocrine disrupting chemicals

07:18.220 --> 07:20.800
because these have been shown to interfere

07:20.800 --> 07:23.640
with reproduction in a variety of different types

07:23.640 --> 07:24.960
of scientific experiments.

07:25.280 --> 07:28.540
And we'll give this definition from CAVLOC,

07:28.600 --> 07:31.100
which states an exogenous agent.

07:31.220 --> 07:33.100
That means it comes from outside the body

07:33.100 --> 07:36.520
that interferes with a variety of different aspects,

07:37.020 --> 07:39.740
the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action.

07:40.060 --> 07:42.040
Action is kind of generic or elimination

07:42.400 --> 07:44.180
of natural hormones in the body

07:44.180 --> 07:46.940
responsible for the regulation of homeostasis,

07:47.380 --> 07:48.460
which is like equilibrium

07:48.800 --> 07:52.360
and the regulation of developmental processes

07:53.160 --> 07:54.200
like reproduction.

07:55.640 --> 07:59.100
And of course, endocrine refers to the hormones,

07:59.100 --> 08:01.680
which includes the sex hormones

08:01.680 --> 08:04.520
of testosterone, estrogen and progesterone.

08:04.780 --> 08:08.740
So if we look at a category of endocrine disruptors

08:08.740 --> 08:12.060
called Xenoestrogens or foreign estrogenic substances,

08:12.500 --> 08:14.820
these are some proposed mechanisms

08:14.820 --> 08:17.100
that they may interfere with our body's

08:17.100 --> 08:19.680
own response to estrogen.

08:20.040 --> 08:21.780
So they may mimic estrogens,

08:21.920 --> 08:23.500
have a similar chemical structure

08:23.500 --> 08:24.980
that interacts with our body,

08:25.180 --> 08:26.580
fooling our body into thinking

08:26.580 --> 08:28.940
that we are making more estrogen.

08:29.400 --> 08:31.280
It could antagonize estrogens,

08:31.520 --> 08:34.500
so act to counteract estrogens, right?

08:34.580 --> 08:37.660
And this may be important for women's fertility, for example,

08:37.940 --> 08:40.340
altering the synthesis of estrogens

08:40.340 --> 08:42.620
either by inhibiting or upregulating

08:42.620 --> 08:45.700
and modifying estrogen receptor expressions.

08:46.020 --> 08:49.940
So however, our cells receive the estrogen signal

08:49.940 --> 08:52.920
from the hormone itself could be disrupted

08:52.920 --> 08:54.040
by that mechanism.

08:54.040 --> 08:57.560
Now here are some common compounds

08:58.010 --> 09:00.760
that could be Xenoestrogens

09:00.760 --> 09:03.500
or disrupt other endocrine systems.

09:04.380 --> 09:08.140
And these include a variety of compounds

09:08.140 --> 09:11.260
of the class of pesticides and herbicides,

09:11.260 --> 09:12.880
which may be in our food supply

09:12.880 --> 09:16.220
or in environmental exposure in buildings

09:16.220 --> 09:18.480
or agricultural land, et cetera.

09:18.740 --> 09:20.040
I mean, these have been shown

09:20.040 --> 09:22.740
to have specific effects on sperm,

09:22.740 --> 09:26.400
for example, as well as on the estrogen

09:26.400 --> 09:28.340
and testosterone system.

09:29.100 --> 09:30.620
Organophosphates, atrazine,

09:30.780 --> 09:32.740
atrazine is one that you may have heard of,

09:32.840 --> 09:36.580
Alex Jones, at the famous meme of gay frogs

09:36.580 --> 09:37.800
related to atrazine,

09:37.800 --> 09:40.420
where a scientist from Berkeley studied them

09:40.420 --> 09:43.040
on amphibians and found that they had

09:43.040 --> 09:45.780
ambiguous and hermaphroditic genitalia

09:45.780 --> 09:47.000
when exposed to atrazine.

09:47.120 --> 09:49.120
I don't like them putting chemicals in the water

09:49.120 --> 09:51.240
that turn the friggin' frogs gay.

09:52.150 --> 09:52.980
Seriously crap!

09:53.500 --> 09:56.320
And atrazine is unregulated to this day.

09:56.580 --> 09:59.460
It was proposed for regulation by the EPA,

09:59.720 --> 10:01.480
but they refused to regulate it

10:01.480 --> 10:04.620
so you can get exposure to this from the environment.

10:04.780 --> 10:07.760
Then we have plasticizing chemicals like phthalates

10:07.760 --> 10:11.260
and BPA that I'm gonna talk more specifically about,

10:11.340 --> 10:14.540
as well as heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury,

10:14.620 --> 10:16.360
which we could be exposed to

10:16.360 --> 10:17.540
from a variety of sources,

10:17.540 --> 10:21.800
including, for example, drinking water, pharmaceuticals, et cetera.

10:22.160 --> 10:24.440
Now, I also wanna clarify that,

10:24.620 --> 10:27.260
and I've taught this before, obviously,

10:27.520 --> 10:28.980
especially with the power of pine,

10:29.140 --> 10:32.280
that we have two broad categories of toxic substances

10:32.280 --> 10:33.560
that come into our body.

10:33.660 --> 10:36.440
We have water soluble and fat soluble substances,

10:36.760 --> 10:39.240
and that's important because our body processes

10:39.240 --> 10:42.860
these types of foreign toxins in a different way.

10:43.140 --> 10:47.100
The water soluble ones, our body can readily eliminate

10:47.100 --> 10:51.160
and if we eliminate or reduce our exposure to those things,

10:51.260 --> 10:53.200
our body can completely get rid of them

10:53.200 --> 10:55.200
within even hours, sometimes,

10:55.400 --> 10:57.760
depending on the substance or within days.

10:58.140 --> 11:00.460
Fat soluble toxins, on the other hand,

11:00.500 --> 11:03.120
is much more difficult for our body to deal with

11:03.120 --> 11:07.380
and they often become stored in fatty tissue in our body.

11:08.020 --> 11:09.340
And in order to get them out,

11:09.420 --> 11:11.200
it requires a bit more work.

11:11.420 --> 11:15.020
So on this table, you'll see that some of these substances

11:15.020 --> 11:18.200
are water soluble and some are fat soluble.

11:18.440 --> 11:21.700
So if we look specifically at human semen,

11:22.020 --> 11:26.120
and this was known all the way back in the early 80s,

11:26.260 --> 11:30.940
that we found a lot of these toxic substances in men's semen.

11:31.200 --> 11:34.940
So in this study, they found heavy metals

11:34.940 --> 11:37.560
and organochlorine compounds,

11:37.800 --> 11:41.640
which are a class of pesticides in the semen samples,

11:41.640 --> 11:45.080
and there were actually significant correlations

11:45.080 --> 11:47.420
between some of the heavy metals

11:47.420 --> 11:50.040
as well as some of these other substances,

11:50.320 --> 11:53.860
like even DDT, which was taken off the market

11:53.860 --> 11:58.200
decades before this study was still found in human semen.

11:58.440 --> 12:00.760
Now, if we look at a more recent study here,

12:00.960 --> 12:04.000
the LIFE study, which looked specifically

12:04.000 --> 12:06.700
at these persistent organic pollutants,

12:06.860 --> 12:10.560
and these are substances like DDT, for example,

12:10.560 --> 12:14.940
like the PFAS or PFOAS forever chemicals,

12:15.200 --> 12:18.840
which persist in the environment for a very long time

12:18.840 --> 12:20.780
because there's no natural mechanism

12:20.780 --> 12:24.520
to break them down into recyclable units.

12:25.360 --> 12:29.340
So here, we had looked for quite a number

12:29.340 --> 12:32.740
of different substances in semen in this study,

12:32.740 --> 12:36.300
and it was found that the concentration

12:36.300 --> 12:40.320
or levels of these substances showed a lot of associations

12:41.000 --> 12:43.920
with the quality of the semen.

12:44.480 --> 12:48.860
And PDBEs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers,

12:48.960 --> 12:51.480
which are class of flame retardant chemicals,

12:51.760 --> 12:53.620
were particularly associated

12:53.620 --> 12:57.840
with abnormal sperm morphology or shape.

12:58.120 --> 13:00.740
So we're starting to see some direct evidence

13:00.740 --> 13:02.820
that these things are in the semen

13:02.820 --> 13:05.680
and that they are correlated mathematically

13:05.680 --> 13:09.580
with disruptions in the semen quality.

13:09.940 --> 13:12.080
Now, this is another interesting study

13:12.080 --> 13:15.380
and this research looking for microplastics

13:15.380 --> 13:18.220
in biological tissue is somewhat controversial

13:18.220 --> 13:19.840
because there's a criticism

13:19.840 --> 13:22.180
that they're in certain settings,

13:22.300 --> 13:23.560
especially in hospitals,

13:23.800 --> 13:26.440
that there is such a large concentration

13:26.440 --> 13:28.300
of microplastic particles

13:28.300 --> 13:31.660
that they could have contaminated the specimen

13:31.660 --> 13:35.120
rather than the particles preexisting in the specimen.

13:35.120 --> 13:37.860
But I would give some common sense counterpoint

13:37.860 --> 13:38.840
to that argument,

13:39.160 --> 13:41.960
which is that if there are so many microplastics

13:41.960 --> 13:43.780
in the environment, you can't do a study

13:43.780 --> 13:44.880
without contamination,

13:45.340 --> 13:47.940
it would stand to reason that being in that environment

13:47.940 --> 13:50.520
would cause those particles to be taken up by your body

13:50.520 --> 13:53.760
through your body being contaminated in the same way.

13:54.120 --> 13:56.860
Now, the microplastic particles themselves

13:56.860 --> 13:59.360
may not be directly toxic,

13:59.580 --> 14:01.680
although they may cause mechanical obstruction

14:01.680 --> 14:03.400
or disruption of function,

14:03.400 --> 14:04.760
depending on their size,

14:05.160 --> 14:08.400
but they have been shown in a variety of research

14:08.400 --> 14:11.040
to absorb lots of other substances

14:11.040 --> 14:13.580
which could include very toxic substances

14:13.580 --> 14:15.820
like pesticides and heavy metals.

14:16.300 --> 14:18.820
So it could be that these microplastics,

14:19.040 --> 14:21.000
if they are actually in our tissues,

14:21.200 --> 14:24.820
could be sequestering some of these toxic compounds

14:24.820 --> 14:28.340
which can exert toxic effects on our tissues

14:28.700 --> 14:31.600
if they're there for a significant period of time.

14:31.600 --> 14:34.060
Now, here's a further analysis

14:34.060 --> 14:36.640
using a different analytical method

14:37.080 --> 14:40.840
which found plastic additives and forever chemicals,

14:41.340 --> 14:44.260
the same flame retardants that were found in the life study,

14:44.600 --> 14:47.300
surfactants, which are used in a lot of cleaning products

14:47.300 --> 14:50.220
as well as laundry detergent and insecticides.

14:51.180 --> 14:53.000
And they said specifically,

14:53.320 --> 14:55.680
the plastic additives were identified

14:56.280 --> 15:00.140
and they felt that indicated potential health risks.

15:00.700 --> 15:02.580
Okay, so once again,

15:02.660 --> 15:05.940
we find evidence of the same chemicals in semen.

15:06.460 --> 15:09.920
And also, if we look at the female anatomy,

15:09.920 --> 15:11.280
we see the same thing.

15:11.500 --> 15:16.100
So here we have a study that looked at follicular fluid

15:16.100 --> 15:18.040
and this is the fluid in the ovaries

15:18.040 --> 15:21.180
that surrounds the mother's eggs

15:21.180 --> 15:24.460
that are being stored for future menstrual cycles

15:24.460 --> 15:29.260
and that there were lead and cadmium

15:29.260 --> 15:32.060
found in this fluid, so heavy metals.

15:32.800 --> 15:36.960
And then we see this other study looking at PFOAS,

15:37.240 --> 15:40.760
finding those forever chemicals in follicular fluid

15:40.760 --> 15:43.240
and also interestingly,

15:43.420 --> 15:45.520
referencing this other study by DINGRA,

15:45.700 --> 15:47.100
which I've also looked at

15:47.100 --> 15:51.160
where they find PFAS in menstrual fluid.

15:51.380 --> 15:54.360
And this fits with a longstanding hypothesis

15:54.660 --> 15:55.860
that I've had,

15:56.040 --> 15:58.720
which is that women, when they menstruate,

15:58.720 --> 16:02.180
their body takes advantage of that reproductive function

16:02.180 --> 16:03.680
to dump toxins

16:03.680 --> 16:06.820
because the body is getting rid of some fluid and tissue.

16:07.280 --> 16:11.060
So the toxins end up being delivered to the uterus

16:11.060 --> 16:13.340
to leave the body in the menstrual fluid

16:13.340 --> 16:15.220
and this has been actually demonstrated

16:15.220 --> 16:17.160
by analyzing for those chemicals

16:17.160 --> 16:19.500
in the menstrual secretions.

16:20.040 --> 16:24.460
So we see evidence for both men and women

16:24.460 --> 16:29.020
that we are excreting a variety of toxic chemicals

16:29.020 --> 16:30.960
in our sexual fluids.

16:31.200 --> 16:34.620
That's the fluid that's bathing the eggs and the sperm.

16:35.140 --> 16:38.160
And this is an obvious hypothesis

16:38.160 --> 16:40.720
for this fertility reduction

16:40.720 --> 16:43.740
because these compounds were introduced

16:43.740 --> 16:46.740
into the environment at the same time

16:46.740 --> 16:50.100
that the fertility crisis has been occurring.

16:50.500 --> 16:54.100
And unfortunately, the mainstream medical establishment

16:54.100 --> 16:57.980
is not really looking at this very much at all.

16:58.240 --> 17:00.800
They instead prefer to look at it

17:00.800 --> 17:03.420
from the perspective of lifestyle factors,

17:03.740 --> 17:07.260
things like exercise, smoking, alcohol, et cetera.

17:07.620 --> 17:11.320
But those things were actually more prominent in the past

17:11.320 --> 17:13.420
when the fertility rate was higher.

17:13.720 --> 17:16.800
So we can see that that does not explain it,

17:16.860 --> 17:19.200
just like genetics does not explain it

17:19.200 --> 17:22.400
because even if the theory of genetic determination

17:22.400 --> 17:25.840
were valid, there is no sense

17:25.840 --> 17:28.840
that vast mutations affecting fertility could occur

17:28.840 --> 17:32.940
in this very short timeframe of about 50 years.

17:33.600 --> 17:37.900
So what we're really left with is one is the effect

17:37.900 --> 17:40.040
of these toxic substances that are clearly

17:40.040 --> 17:43.400
in our sexual and reproductive fluids and organs.

17:43.820 --> 17:47.500
Now this also provides an obvious hypothesis

17:47.500 --> 17:49.520
for sexually transmitted diseases

17:49.520 --> 17:53.700
because if our sexual secretions that occur

17:54.170 --> 17:56.860
during intercourse or other sexual activities

17:56.860 --> 17:58.840
are full of toxic chemicals

17:58.840 --> 18:03.500
and we are essentially exposing someone else's body to these

18:03.500 --> 18:05.640
and specifically their genital area,

18:05.940 --> 18:08.680
it would make sense that it could be toxic to the tissue.

18:08.860 --> 18:10.860
It could be toxic to the vaginal mucosa,

18:11.040 --> 18:13.720
the labia, the glands, penis, right?

18:14.160 --> 18:17.520
So for example, if we see the shanker of syphilis,

18:17.520 --> 18:21.040
which is an ulcer-rated lesion in the tip of the penis

18:21.040 --> 18:24.300
or in the external genitalia of the woman,

18:24.700 --> 18:28.100
well, isn't it highly likely possibility

18:28.100 --> 18:31.060
that there were toxic substances

18:31.060 --> 18:33.160
that were exposed to that area?

18:33.600 --> 18:36.380
And also during intercourse we have microtrauma

18:36.380 --> 18:40.060
which is increased due to circumcision actually.

18:40.240 --> 18:41.540
The friction is increased

18:41.540 --> 18:44.880
and so there are small micro abrasions

18:44.880 --> 18:49.060
of the sexual tissue that allow for these toxins

18:49.060 --> 18:53.140
to become absorbed essentially into the skin

18:53.140 --> 18:55.380
and then the skin wants to purge them

18:55.380 --> 18:57.060
so it would develop a lesion.

18:57.600 --> 19:01.320
And I think this is a highly likely hypothesis

19:01.320 --> 19:03.460
to explain this observation

19:03.460 --> 19:05.160
that sometimes we have this

19:05.160 --> 19:07.700
alleged sexually transmitted disease.

19:08.280 --> 19:09.480
Now I just wanted to highlight

19:09.480 --> 19:12.860
before we get into the other side of the coin

19:12.860 --> 19:15.380
that some of these compounds,

19:15.740 --> 19:18.580
these endocrine disruptors that may be affecting fertility,

19:18.920 --> 19:22.280
if we stop exposing ourselves to them

19:22.280 --> 19:24.560
that we can get rid of them pretty quickly.

19:24.840 --> 19:27.380
So if we look at PBDEs, right?

19:27.460 --> 19:29.040
Which are the flame retardants I mentioned

19:29.040 --> 19:31.680
that have been shown to have an adverse effect

19:31.680 --> 19:35.800
on semen quality and probably have a similar adverse effect

19:35.800 --> 19:39.640
on the quality of eggs that simply by sweating

19:39.980 --> 19:42.640
we can get rid of these substances, right?

19:42.640 --> 19:44.760
Because they are water soluble.

19:45.180 --> 19:49.860
And the same thing is true with bisphenols and phthalates.

19:50.480 --> 19:54.700
So I would say that any detoxifying regimen

19:54.700 --> 19:58.340
where you're trying to get rid of endocrine disrupting

19:58.340 --> 20:00.400
and xenoestrogen compounds

20:00.400 --> 20:02.940
should include some form of sweating

20:02.940 --> 20:04.800
which could be from saunas,

20:05.020 --> 20:07.180
could be from intense exercise

20:07.180 --> 20:10.880
or even just putting layers of clothes on yourself

20:10.880 --> 20:13.240
to overheat yourself and make you sweat.

20:13.620 --> 20:16.300
And this can be done on even up to a daily basis

20:16.300 --> 20:18.840
but it won't take very long to eliminate

20:18.840 --> 20:21.560
most of those substances from your body

20:21.560 --> 20:23.820
as long as you become aware

20:23.820 --> 20:26.000
of how they're getting in your body in the first place

20:26.000 --> 20:27.920
and you eliminate those sources.

20:28.160 --> 20:30.340
This can be from the flame retardants

20:30.340 --> 20:32.960
they are used often in textiles

20:32.960 --> 20:35.180
to make them flame retardant.

20:35.640 --> 20:37.740
And so check all the textiles

20:37.740 --> 20:39.940
including the furniture that you're exposed to,

20:39.940 --> 20:41.940
clothing, pajamas, et cetera

20:41.940 --> 20:44.960
to see if you're getting exposed that way.

20:45.160 --> 20:45.760
Like for example,

20:45.960 --> 20:49.380
I sometimes have been known to race cars on the track.

20:49.620 --> 20:50.780
And if I wear a race suit,

20:51.080 --> 20:53.900
the race suits are specifically flame retardant suits.

20:54.120 --> 20:56.360
So I try to wear an inner layer

20:56.360 --> 20:57.820
even though this is not recommended

20:57.820 --> 20:59.840
of cotton on my skin

20:59.840 --> 21:02.460
to prevent those chemicals from being absorbed

21:02.460 --> 21:03.680
from the suit.

21:03.820 --> 21:06.680
So you can identify those exposures

21:06.680 --> 21:09.240
and reduce or eliminate those completely.

21:09.660 --> 21:11.660
So clothing obviously is a big one

21:11.660 --> 21:14.060
as well as food containers and packaging

21:14.060 --> 21:17.860
especially if you're gonna microwave food in plastics

21:17.860 --> 21:20.720
that will leech these chemicals into the food.

21:21.320 --> 21:25.660
So now let's talk about some dietary factors

21:25.660 --> 21:28.680
because this is the other edge of the coin now.

21:28.980 --> 21:32.900
I can't say that seed oil toxicity

21:33.410 --> 21:35.420
directly contributes to fertility

21:35.420 --> 21:37.160
but I wanted to point this out

21:37.160 --> 21:41.300
because of obesity and obesity may correlate

21:41.300 --> 21:43.460
with some of these other problems

21:43.460 --> 21:47.200
and also because essentially what's happened here

21:47.200 --> 21:49.300
is that healthy fats have been replaced

21:49.300 --> 21:52.340
with these seed oils and the deficiency in healthy fats

21:52.340 --> 21:54.780
is a big part of this fertility issue.

21:55.140 --> 21:57.800
So this is the consumption of seed oils

21:57.800 --> 22:00.660
where you could see at the turn of the 20th century

22:00.660 --> 22:02.380
they were practically non-existent

22:02.380 --> 22:04.680
because they were used as machine lubricants.

22:04.680 --> 22:06.600
And now over the course of the century

22:06.600 --> 22:09.800
for a variety of economic and other reasons

22:09.800 --> 22:12.420
now we have a huge use of them

22:12.420 --> 22:16.180
and here it breaks them down by specific type of oil.

22:16.740 --> 22:20.940
And this is a curve from the CDC looking at obesity

22:21.480 --> 22:25.660
over the course of the 1960s projected through 2030.

22:25.660 --> 22:27.200
And I thought it was really fascinating

22:27.200 --> 22:29.340
that if you take these two curves

22:29.340 --> 22:30.640
and superimpose them

22:30.640 --> 22:33.300
that you see that they mirror each other quite well.

22:33.300 --> 22:36.260
Now I adjusted the time scale there to match up

22:36.260 --> 22:38.620
and you can see that there is a slight lag

22:38.620 --> 22:42.100
between when the consumption of the seed oils increases

22:42.100 --> 22:45.600
and when the obesity is occurring.

22:45.940 --> 22:48.600
So that suggests but does not prove

22:48.600 --> 22:51.800
a causal relationship that could be looked into further.

22:52.120 --> 22:54.480
Now this is just for your informational purposes

22:54.480 --> 22:59.320
because the linoleic acid is the main constituent

22:59.320 --> 23:01.340
of the seed oils that becomes stored

23:01.340 --> 23:04.460
in our fatty tissue often in the same fraction

23:04.460 --> 23:07.120
as the so-called membrane lipids

23:07.120 --> 23:10.400
and they can have a half-life I believe of up to two years.

23:10.640 --> 23:12.860
So these things really persist in your body

23:12.860 --> 23:16.400
they can't be adequately metabolized as fat

23:16.400 --> 23:17.400
so they get stored.

23:18.000 --> 23:20.920
And it's the linoleic acid that's the major constituent.

23:21.060 --> 23:23.820
So you could see that these oils in red at the top

23:23.820 --> 23:26.540
have the highest levels of linoleic acid

23:26.540 --> 23:29.480
and in the middle, gold and yellow

23:29.480 --> 23:31.120
are intermediate levels.

23:31.400 --> 23:34.640
So we see olive oil there, avocado oil, palm oil

23:34.640 --> 23:37.580
and lard which is pork fat.

23:38.080 --> 23:40.800
And those are acceptable to eat in general

23:40.800 --> 23:43.260
and then the green the best ones at the bottom

23:43.260 --> 23:47.120
and the numbers there reflect what's actually in our bodies.

23:47.260 --> 23:50.060
So we have very small amounts of linoleic acid

23:50.060 --> 23:54.020
in our own body fat right on the order of one to 2%.

23:54.020 --> 23:56.780
And if you look at grass-fed beef tallow

23:56.780 --> 23:57.800
right there at 1%

23:57.800 --> 24:00.660
and so coconut oil in terms of any vegetable

24:00.660 --> 24:04.280
or plant sources of fat would be the best one to use

24:04.280 --> 24:06.880
in cooking and that's really the only one that I recommend.

24:07.340 --> 24:10.320
Now you can buy, for example, mayonnaise prepared

24:10.320 --> 24:12.200
with olive oil or avocado oil

24:12.200 --> 24:14.060
and those are not too bad

24:14.060 --> 24:16.960
but you can make your own mayonnaise at home

24:16.960 --> 24:18.540
using beef tallow for example.

24:18.820 --> 24:22.400
Okay, so let's get into the cholesterol issue

24:22.400 --> 24:25.420
because this more directly speaks to fertility

24:25.420 --> 24:29.940
because our sex hormones are made from cholesterol

24:29.940 --> 24:31.360
as the starting material.

24:31.640 --> 24:34.160
So if our body does not have adequate stores

24:34.160 --> 24:36.360
of cholesterol and saturated fats

24:36.360 --> 24:39.620
we cannot synthesize adequate sex hormones

24:39.620 --> 24:41.280
or vitamin D for that matter

24:41.280 --> 24:43.060
or new cells for that matter.

24:43.700 --> 24:46.940
And new cells are more directly required for survival.

24:47.140 --> 24:49.840
So if our body has a limited supply

24:49.840 --> 24:51.660
of the right fats and cholesterol

24:51.660 --> 24:54.600
it may use them for cellular growth

24:54.600 --> 24:58.200
instead of to support our sexual hormones and fertility.

24:58.660 --> 24:59.820
So this is quite an issue.

25:00.020 --> 25:02.340
Now this is from Johns Hopkins

25:02.340 --> 25:05.400
but it agrees with all the other medical authorities.

25:05.780 --> 25:07.760
They say the normal levels

25:07.760 --> 25:10.120
or optimal levels of cholesterol are

25:10.120 --> 25:13.160
and they want your total cholesterol to be less than 200

25:13.160 --> 25:17.060
and they want your LDL to be less than 100

25:17.060 --> 25:20.960
and the assumption here is that those numbers

25:21.320 --> 25:24.080
would improve your health and longevity.

25:24.580 --> 25:26.880
But if we look here at this graph

25:26.880 --> 25:30.840
and this graph it's from a British Heart Study source

25:30.840 --> 25:32.080
it's listed on the bottom

25:32.080 --> 25:35.060
but it combines a lot of data worldwide

25:35.060 --> 25:37.480
but I'll show you a more limited data set

25:37.480 --> 25:39.440
that has the same exact finding

25:39.440 --> 25:41.520
and this is what's known as a reverse J curve

25:41.520 --> 25:44.800
and on the Y axis is the total cholesterol

25:45.280 --> 25:48.940
and on the Y axis is all cause mortality

25:48.940 --> 25:51.680
for the blue line which is what we're gonna look at

25:51.680 --> 25:52.700
the dark blue line

25:52.700 --> 25:56.100
and the X axis is the total cholesterol level

25:56.100 --> 25:59.180
and this is known as an inverted J curve

25:59.180 --> 26:02.200
and what we see here is that at the nadir of the curve

26:02.200 --> 26:05.780
the lowest point is where we have the lowest mortality

26:05.780 --> 26:07.320
or the highest survival

26:07.320 --> 26:10.320
and then as the curve goes up in both directions

26:10.320 --> 26:13.320
from that nadir point we have increased mortality.

26:13.540 --> 26:15.080
Now what is the nadir point?

26:15.080 --> 26:19.380
It is just over 220 for total cholesterol.

26:19.900 --> 26:22.940
So in other words, best survival and lowest mortality

26:23.560 --> 26:27.300
occurs at a total cholesterol of just over 220.

26:27.940 --> 26:29.800
Now what were the recommendations

26:29.800 --> 26:31.780
that it should be below 200?

26:32.000 --> 26:35.160
So if we go over to the 200 point on the graph

26:35.160 --> 26:38.580
we see that the all cause mortality

26:38.580 --> 26:40.700
is now significantly elevated

26:40.700 --> 26:42.740
and if we go lower than 200

26:42.740 --> 26:46.380
there is a steep slope where the mortality increases.

26:47.040 --> 26:51.320
So each number lower means that we are more likely to die.

26:51.940 --> 26:55.300
Okay, now this also, although it's not reported here

26:55.300 --> 26:58.460
as consequences for fertility

26:58.460 --> 27:03.220
and other types of sexual and reproductive functioning.

27:03.600 --> 27:09.120
Now here is a dataset just looking at adults in Korea

27:09.120 --> 27:12.880
but it's a large number of adults, almost 13 million

27:12.880 --> 27:17.680
and we see essentially the same reverse J curve here

27:17.680 --> 27:19.600
and on the bottom right panel

27:19.600 --> 27:21.520
it looks at men and women separately

27:21.520 --> 27:25.380
but we see here that actually the lowest mortality

27:25.380 --> 27:29.740
is just over 220 and that when we get below 200

27:29.740 --> 27:34.180
we see the increasing hazard ratio is reported here

27:34.180 --> 27:36.780
but that's the hazard of all cause mortality

27:36.780 --> 27:40.060
and when we look separately in men and women

27:40.060 --> 27:43.080
we see that the increase in mortality

27:43.080 --> 27:45.460
is slightly steeper for men.

27:45.840 --> 27:49.880
Now I also want to mention a dataset

27:49.880 --> 27:53.400
looking at LDL cholesterol which was also mentioned

27:53.400 --> 27:57.120
and there it was said that optimally below 100

27:57.120 --> 27:58.940
but this study says in conclusion

27:58.940 --> 28:01.540
we found that low level of LDLs

28:01.540 --> 28:04.180
associated with a higher risk of all cause mortality

28:04.180 --> 28:07.500
and this observed association persisted

28:07.500 --> 28:10.580
after adjusting for potential confounders

28:10.580 --> 28:14.440
so the same finding they represented it differently here

28:14.440 --> 28:16.240
this is a forest plot

28:16.240 --> 28:18.740
and you could see that this vertical line at one

28:18.740 --> 28:22.420
represents no change in all cause mortality

28:22.420 --> 28:25.320
anything to the right of it is more deaths

28:25.320 --> 28:27.500
and to the left of it is less.

28:27.760 --> 28:30.720
Now you could see that as the LDL goes up

28:30.720 --> 28:35.020
from 100 to 129 and going down on this graph

28:35.020 --> 28:39.100
that really there's no change in mortality

28:39.100 --> 28:40.960
if anything it's slightly lower

28:40.960 --> 28:42.940
in the 130 to 160 range

28:42.940 --> 28:46.020
but that interval still crosses the one line

28:46.020 --> 28:47.520
so I would say it's no change

28:47.520 --> 28:51.360
but if we look at the low LDL 70 to 99

28:51.840 --> 28:54.360
it's clearly off the reference line

28:54.360 --> 28:56.180
so we have increased mortality

28:56.180 --> 28:57.500
and if it's below 70

28:57.500 --> 29:01.780
then we're approaching two times the mortality

29:01.780 --> 29:04.840
so once again what the data shows

29:04.840 --> 29:09.080
is that if our cholesterol including LDL is too low

29:09.580 --> 29:13.800
that has the most detrimental effect on our health

29:13.800 --> 29:15.360
as well as our fertility

29:15.360 --> 29:20.200
so in my opinion the two most likely culprits

29:20.200 --> 29:23.500
that have caused this fertility crisis

29:23.500 --> 29:26.820
where we are now below replacement levels

29:26.820 --> 29:30.760
for certain in the Western countries

29:31.040 --> 29:32.960
and possibly globally

29:33.760 --> 29:38.860
that we have won the exposure to a variety of toxins

29:38.860 --> 29:41.060
especially persistent toxins

29:41.060 --> 29:45.300
with endocrine disrupting and xenoestrogenic properties

29:45.300 --> 29:47.960
that often can be stored in our body's tissues

29:47.960 --> 29:52.260
for a long time but clearly are shown to be present

29:52.260 --> 29:55.400
in significant amounts in semen

29:55.400 --> 29:59.240
as well as follicular and menstrual fluid

29:59.620 --> 30:01.760
and then in addition to that

30:01.760 --> 30:07.180
we have a crisis of a deficiency of cholesterol

30:07.180 --> 30:10.740
a nutritional deficiency of saturated fats and cholesterol

30:10.740 --> 30:14.320
that don't allow our bodies to make the things it needs

30:14.320 --> 30:15.940
including the sex hormones

30:15.940 --> 30:20.440
and increase our all cause mortality substantially

30:20.440 --> 30:24.680
so we can see that you have the education

30:24.680 --> 30:26.120
of how to overcome this

30:26.120 --> 30:29.020
because you can address the toxins

30:29.020 --> 30:31.800
by simply reducing your exposure

30:32.280 --> 30:36.740
and sweating and doing some form of lipolytic protocol

30:36.740 --> 30:39.120
where you can melt away the body fat

30:39.120 --> 30:41.040
and get rid of those fat soluble toxins

30:41.040 --> 30:43.220
like the power of pine protocol

30:43.220 --> 30:48.680
and you can start eating a higher fat, higher cholesterol diet

30:49.160 --> 30:52.480
using the right types of fats for cooking

30:52.480 --> 30:55.940
and focusing on increasing those levels

30:55.940 --> 30:58.280
to optimal ranges in your body.

30:59.040 --> 31:01.380
Even if you're doing your best to live clean

31:01.580 --> 31:03.600
you're still being exposed

31:03.880 --> 31:07.800
from off gassing furniture and plastics in your food

31:07.800 --> 31:10.780
to synthetic fibers, personal care products

31:10.780 --> 31:13.500
and even medical imaging procedures

31:14.100 --> 31:16.480
especially fat soluble chemicals

31:16.720 --> 31:19.620
these toxins don't respond to your average detox

31:19.620 --> 31:21.840
they settle deep in your tissues

31:22.060 --> 31:24.900
and you need the right tools to clear them out

31:24.900 --> 31:28.600
that's why I created the ultimate detox protocol

31:28.600 --> 31:32.200
a free 30 day roadmap that teaches you

31:32.200 --> 31:35.780
a serious nature based detox using pine

31:36.280 --> 31:39.480
targeted nutrition and a focused daily plan

31:39.480 --> 31:42.980
you'll choose the cleansing diet that fits your needs

31:42.980 --> 31:45.380
support your elimination pathways

31:45.380 --> 31:48.640
and take action against the toxin load

31:48.640 --> 31:50.280
that's been holding you back

31:50.280 --> 31:52.740
many people who've done this protocol

31:52.740 --> 31:56.080
have reported major improvements in energy, focus,

31:56.480 --> 31:59.360
digestion and even long standing symptoms

31:59.360 --> 32:01.800
they thought they'd have to live with forever

32:01.800 --> 32:05.480
unfortunately I can't share the full scope of results

32:05.480 --> 32:08.620
people have experienced using this protocol

32:08.980 --> 32:10.320
not on this platform

32:10.320 --> 32:13.740
if I did the video would surely be taken down

32:13.740 --> 32:17.760
but trust me it is incredibly powerful

32:17.760 --> 32:21.040
downloaded for free at the link in the show notes

32:21.040 --> 32:23.460
your health is your responsibility

32:24.120 --> 32:26.980
and this is the best place to start

32:26.980 --> 32:28.220
thanks for listening

32:28.220 --> 32:31.500
and I'll see you in the next true health report
