Longevity Secrets

The Longevity Now® Conference 2014

*******

Now we get into the stuff you guys want to hear – like specifics. Because everybody is always

asking me, "Exactly how many milligrams of iodine is that again? Exactly how much salt? I

want to know an exact number." It was a terrible day when I started having to do recipes and

measure out exactly how much it is. Because normally it's just like a little bit of that, that, this,

no, no, no, no, that one, okay, I'll throw it in there, this, that. But the measurement is really

important because it starts getting specifics about all this stuff. What we are going to get into in

the next hour together – well, 20 minutes – is where we are in our understanding about

longevity, even why longevity. Why would you want to live a long time? What is the whole

purpose, and where are going, and where is it all heading? And we are going to start crunching

it down into things you can do right now.

Of course one of the great things to do is to stop isolating yourself as an electromagnetic island

and reconnect to the earth again – because the earth is nourishing you with free electricity that

not only nourishes your adrenals and kidneys and puts an immediate electrical charge on you

that shields you from all the aberrant electromagnetic waves that are in the environment, or at

least many of them, and protects you. But it is also connecting you to another intelligence and

connects you to every other being that is grounded on the planet. My first grounding

experiences walking through the forest were amazing, because I'm walking barefoot through

the snow and I'm like, "Whoa. Every creature in this forest is barefoot – and I'm connected to

them electrically." When I'm in a shoe I'm not. So that's an important piece of the puzzle. It

really comes down to this one phrase, and this phrase I will reiterate, we'll go over it again,

we'll turn it upside down, we'll look at it from every direction: stack the odds in your favor

whenever possible. Stack the odds in your favor whenever possible. If that's too much for you,

that comes later. Skip it. Go to something you can do right now. Can you be grounded right

now in your chair? Absolutely. Stack the odds in your favor whenever possible. Whenever the

thought arises, ground yourself. Whenever the thought arises, instead of the worst thing ever,

have the best thing ever. When the thought arises, instead of the plastic water, go to the glass

water. When the thought arises, instead of the glass water, go to the fresh spring water from the

David Wolfe – Longevity Secrets – Longevity Now® Conference 2014 Page 2 !

!source. In every moment, that is the choice that we have, and that is ultimately what it's all

about.

This is the phrase that got me in a lot of trouble about four or five years ago at one of these

Longevity Now® Conferences. Nobody understood it. They hated me for this. The Longevity

crew took me aside and they're like, "Umm, we put this on one of the t-shirts and everybody

hates it. They don't understand it, and it's the worst news ever." [laughter] Here's the phrase.

You tell me if you don't understand it: “Immortality is the only cause worth dying for!”

[applause] Do you guys understand it? Do you get it? [Yes!] See, even four short years ago

everybody was like, "Wha—? Huh?" When I was in that state at UC Santa Barbara, I lived in a

rundown, beaten-up old building. The place should have been condemned. I was upstairs with

Dave Asbury doing a little interview about an hour ago. I said, "Hey Dave, where did you go to

school?" "UC Santa Barbara." I'm like, "When did you go to school there?" "1990 to 1994." I

was there the same time. I was there from '88 to '93. I said, "Where did you live?" He said, "I

lived in this beat-up old building, this white building right across from Freebirds." We lived in

the same building. [laughter] He lived in one side on the third floor and I lived on the other

side on the second floor. How crazy is that? We are both Gauchos. UC Santa Barbara Gauchos

are having some impact on the planet. Let me tell you somethin'. [applause] We lived in the

same building. How bizarre, right? It's not only stranger than we can believe; it's stranger than

we can possibly believe. It's just the cosmic giggle in action.

We are going to construct it literally from the ground up and look at this. How do we stack the

odds in our favor whenever possible? How do we get actually really hydrated? What is the

source of hydration? We've gone over that ad nauseum, ad infinitum, but there are some folks

in here who just got here. They just got here for today and better late than never. Water and

salt. Water and salt is fundamental, absolutely fundamental. It's the basis. Again, the reason

why we are confused is because every Fruit Loops packaging we ever had, every Fruity

Pebbles we ever had, every Wheaties we ever ate, every pasteurized, homogenized, glow-in-

the-dark, larvicide, fungicide, herbicide, suicide, genetically modified, hormonally-altered,

puss-filled, blood-filled, chalk-filled milk in a plastic-leaching jug that we ever had, [a few

hoots] every packaged food, every fast food, almost every single day: table salt, table salt, table

salt. All the trace minerals, that fraction of trace minerals, that 15% cooked off and sold to

chemical companies. So we didn't get that. All we got was sodium chloride and we're all super-

silted-up with that. And I use that word very specifically: silted-up. That stuff is like silt, and it


!lodges its way in. We don't understand the balance because we have always had salt all day

long. We just didn't know it, we're not aware of it.

When that drops out, when you take in the raw foods, you do the wheatgrass enemas – [he

looks around to see response].Who here would actually do a wheatgrass enema? [lots of people

raise their hands] Who has done it already? There are always colon hydrotherapists in the

house. Like, "Get the coffee as well. Longevity coffee. We'll put some bulletproof coffee up

there! We'll find out what's goin' on!" [laughter] Wheatgrass, right? And just the overall power

of live food. And really Ann Wigmore's message is really flooding the body with potassium –

so you antagonize that silt out of your system, you flush it out, and then after months or years

you start to establish a new equilibrium. And in that new equilibrium you will start going,

"Okay. Now I need to figure out where I'm at."

Maintenance diets are very different from detox diets. No matter what diet or approach you are

on, always doing detoxes every year, I found out from my own experience – you may find this

out too – that I always naturally fast on the day when the seasons change. I would go back at

the end of the month, like at the end of the month of March, I'd be like, "Yeah, March 21st. I

actually fasted that day," but it turned out to be that was the day of the equinox. It's just one of

those weird things. It is like that – the day that the season changes is a specific moment and

your body reacts to it even if we are not consciously aware of it. The more we focus in on it the

more we are aware of it.

This concept of cleansing and detoxification is different from maintenance, and so we have got

to design a strategy that is maintenance and also includes occasional detoxification. We live in

a polluted environment. It has been estimated that up to 90% of the conditions that we deal

with today are toxicity-related. Trauma, toxins, and thoughts. All toxicity. Right? Toxic

thoughts, toxic traumas, and then the toxins – the phthalates, the endosulphan pesticides,

whatever kind of weird plastic residues, petrochemicals. God knows how many it is. My guess

is, and what I've been looking at in the research is, since 1940 we have dumped 77,000

chemicals, synthetic chemicals – nuclear, bromide chemicals, chemtrail stuff, all that into the

environment since 1940. And that is why we have an epigenetic problem; not a genetic

problem. We don't have an epidemic of cancer; we have an epigenetic problem of cancer where

all the cancer switches are being turned on by the carcinogens. Because that is what genetics is

all about. It's not about, "You have this genetic code; you have a doomsday report."


!Angelina Jolie. What was—? What? [loud moans from audience] Obviously not paying

attention to the last 30 years of research, which indicates it's not your genetics, it's the switches

that turn them on and off. Dr. Mercola is up here talking about vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 turns

on more epigenetic switches that heal you and are good for you than any single substance we

know of – anything. Progesterone turns on epigenetic switches that cause you to become

younger and start reversing things. Testosterone. The old theory, testosterone causes prostate

cancer. Uh-uh [no]! When your testosterone is the highest and all your ratio of hormones is

correct, men: that is when you are the healthiest. That is when you are the healthiest you have

been in your life, when you are like 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. That's when you are the healthiest.

In fact the flipping over of the testosterone into bad hormones, the development and buildup of

bad hormones in our own system, this is actually aging us. It's toxic to us and we need to

detoxify it, and this is part of the overall picture. Very important aspect, and it is epigenetic.

Testosterone turns on the switches that keep you younger. For men and women, but for men

it's really important. The reason why women live longer in my opinion – and this talk is going

to be about my opinion about longevity and my perspective – I think the reason why women

live longer is because progesterone is three steps away from being an estrogen, whereas

testosterone is one step away. It's volatile and it can flip over. And so, men don't live as long

because the testosterone is more volatile. There are other theories. I think that is definitely one

of them. Progesterone is actually so far away from being a toxic estrogen that it is much, much

safer than testosterone. In the long-term picture for men – 70, 80, 90, 100 – a little bit of

progesterone cream a month for men is what I recommend, three or four or five days a month.

Three or four or five days a month.

By the time you are 80, you are not worried about being the next martial arts champion. Right?

You are not going out and beating people up. It's like, at that point it's like chill. It's cool.

Women's brains work differently than men. More of a multitasking brain. Progesterone is a big

part of that, of how a woman's brain works. And it is neuroprotective as well, because those

epigenetic switches get flipped on. The genetics will work based on the environment. Right? It

is not the actual structure of the genetics in most cases; it is actually the environment that we

are being raised in. So that is the term of art.

What is interesting is that Lamarckism, which is the idea that like, let's say I play the drums –

you know, I love playing the drums. One of these days I am actually going to drag a drum set

up here and do like a Buddy Rich thing. One of these conferences. We'll see what happens. If I


!am good on the drums, then it is likely that my kid will also have that skill. That is called

Lamarckism. It can't be explained genetically, but it can be explained in some epigenetic form,

that something is passed along or can be passed along. That was absolute taboo for a hundred

years. You were a heretic if you believed something like that. But it is true. Look into your

own life. Look at your own experience. Check it out, that the father will pass something along

to the son or the mother will pass something along to the daughter that is similar to what they

are good in or what they are interested in – even if they pick that up later in life. It's not a

genetic trait. It cannot be related to genetics; there is nothing in the genetic code that is related

to it. That also is part of epigenetics. And more and more I am just going to predict that we are

going to see more and more of that.

That means that your environment that you live in is going to have a very strong effect on your

health. Not only the thoughts that are going on in that house, the emotions that are going on in

that house. All the chemicals that are under the sink, everything that is in the cupboard,

everything that is in the bathroom, all the stuff that is in the shower. It has got to be completely

chemical-free. All that stuff has got to go the way of the dinosaur; it's got to be removed from

your house.

One time I had a friend Nassim Haramein – he's a very famous physicist – he came over to my

house with a Geiger counter. He was going down everything, like granite tables can be

radioactive, so he is testing all that. This is Nassim right here [indicates photo on screen]. He is

testing our silverware because they are remaking metals out of radioactive metal particles that

are being shipped over from – that comes from Afghanistan, then it's shipped over to Africa,

then it comes over to here, then it goes to China, then it comes back here. All of a sudden you

have a radioactive fork. So he's checking all that stuff. And I'm just like, [puts hands in prayer

posture].

He goes down the supplement side of the cupboard. This is hilarious. The last supplement is

some kind of alpha-lipoic acid product, something like this. It starts freaking the machine out.

Nick Good grabbed that thing, he had that thing outside the perimeter of that property in ten

seconds flat. Some little supplements set off the Geiger counter. Yeah! It's one of those things.

You know, who knows? Because we live in a toxic world, so we have to be careful. The reason

why I recommend – that's Nick Good [indicates photo on screen] – the reason why I

recommend more plant versus animals is because animals are sponges, and they are sponging

up the environmental toxins, and so we can get a hyper dose of God knows who knows what.


!We have all read the horror stories that started with Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and ended up

in Diet for a New America and now the work that PETA is doing and like what kind of weird

stuff goes on with factory farms and the unbelievable, horrific stuff that is being fed to those

creatures, and then the whole thing of them being fed their own, you know, euthanized

products of themselves and of dogs and cats and whatever. You know, it is just bizarre. And it

sponges it up, and then we are getting exposed to a massive amount of unknowns.

But when it's lettuce, you feel a little bit safer. The lettuce gods, they are powerful. Right?

They have been keeping alive hamburger-eaters now for decades. [laughter] I went and did a

coca reading with Doris. She is an amazing – she is like a psychic from Peru. You never

believe this stuff, right? There's no way. But you know, I sit down with Doris, this is the first

time, she busts out the coca leaves and she throws 'em and then she tells you the answer to your

questions. She busts it out, she is telling me the answer to my questions. The first thing she

comes out with, she's like, she is telling Gabby who is translating, she's like, something about

the lettuce gods. I'm not kidding. Gabby's like, "Yeah. She's talking about the lettuce gods." I'm

like, "Lettuce as in the plant?" "Yeah." Who in their right mind ever talks about the lettuce

gods? [laughter] But how did she come up with that? So I know lettuce has got my back. We

don't need to talk about it. It's good. But these colors, these raw foods, it's protective, it's

preventative.

All the research is in. Five keeps you alive, but ten is better. Right? Five fruits and vegetables a

day. Tough to do actually if you really count it out and you really figure it out. You're like,

"Okay." One whole carrot, kale, beet, onion, avocado. To actually eat that in a day, like okay,

that's like five. Whoa, I just barely made it in the day. But ten is better. That's why we like the

idea of NutriBlasting. It's like, boom, you can get that in easy and you don't have to think about

it and you are getting all those carotenoids, all those protective chemicals, the anthocyanins,

which are those antioxidant flavonols of which resveratrol is one, and xanthohumol is one, and

epicatechins in blueberries are in that same category, so you get all that.

We are going to a little higher level than just that conversation in a second. But before I do

that, of course we have to cover the real basics, the rudiments of what are the great longevity

foods, what has been figured out. Because some things have been identified about the great

longevity foods. There is a guy right now in Mesa, Arizona – Bernando LaPollo – who is 112.

He is the longest-lived raw food advocate on the planet and one of the longest-lived people on

the planet. The odds of him making it to 112 as a man being born on the earth is one against 3


!billion. It's almost impossible what he has done, but he has done it. So they asked him, "What

do you think are the top foods? Why have you lived so long?" We've got that clip. Could we

have that clip, Christopher? Here we go. We are going to put it up for you. There's Bernando

right there. [indicates photo on screen] He wants to open up his own restaurant. He is still

going. He walks three kilometers a day. Super brilliant, mind is still there, and his dad was a

doctor. His dad warned him, "You do not eat that fried food. You don't eat any of that stuff.

You have faith in God." And all these years later he is still alive. Is that amazing? He was born

before cars were on the road. Right? He was born before airplanes. He was born before

spaceships. He saw all of that come about.

[list shown on screen:]

Cinnamon

Garlic

Honey

Olive oil

Chocolate

This is something that comes up repeatedly in longevity research. Is that amazing? He's a Leo,

like me, so he was born in August and he turned 112 this year. He is 112 1/2 years old. It's

incredible. And look at the list. I remember when I first heard about him, and I was watching a

program on him. They didn't tell you right out front. They were like, "Well, cinnamon, garlic,"

you know, they are going from number five to number four to number three to number two,

"honey, olive oil," and I'm thinking "What is going to be number one? What is going to be

number one?" Chocolate! Chocolate! [laughter and applause as David Wolfe holds up his arms

in victory stance and parades back and forth on stage] Thank you, God. Everybody out there,

like all the people, the anti-cacao crowd, whatever that is. Right? They are like, against

chocolate. It's like, "Well, why do you eat chocolate?" "Well, you know, my friend Bernando

LaPollo is 112. He eats it. He says it's the best thing ever. You ask him.” Is chocolate good for

you? "Well, you know, my friend, he is actually 112 and why don't you ask him? He thinks it's

the best thing ever."

What is the number one killer? Heart disease, by far. It outweighs all cancers combined. All

this focus on cancers, we are missing actually what is the real big killer, which is heart disease.

Chocolate contains compounds – as do goji berry and bell peppers – that slicken up your

cardiovascular system. To me, chocolate is a requirement to prevent the development of


!cardiovascular disease. It's a requirement. The Dutch did a study, 465 men studied over 15

years, age 65, 70, 75, 80. They found out something interesting in their study. Research on

their diet, their lifestyle, their history. They found out that the only people who were still alive

at age 80 – just by chance; they didn't know they were going to come across this result – were

in the highest fraction of chocolate consumers. Right? Because after a while you start to realize

there is a connection between chocolate and the heart. There is a connection between chocolate

and blood. The Aztecs used to say, their nickname for chocolate, like we would say cacao or

something, they said, "yollotl eztli." It was an Aztec word [term] meaning "heart blood." That

was their nickname for chocolate. It's a heart blood. I creates blood. It's a blood builder.

Absolutely anti-anemic. Absolutely. Magnesium and iron. It's the highest of any plant in the

world in iron. It's higher in magnesium than any other thing you could name. It's like almost on

par with chlorella – chlorella and cacao. But chocolate has always been with us all these

thousands of years. It's time-proven.

That does not mean that chocolate is the best thing ever for everybody. But if it's good for you,

hallelujah. Here is how you use chocolate. Performance that is rewarded will be repeated. It's a

treat. It's a gift to yourself for performance well done. You did a job really good all week, you

worked really hard, you concentrated. You need to reward yourself. How do you train a gerbil?

You guys in the back row are like, "He's going to say how do you train a gerbil next. I know

it." How do you train a dog, a cat, a dolphin? How do you train a creature on this Earth? Food

reward. Food treats. How do you train a human? Treats. What's the treat for a human?

Chocolate. When you strip it all down, I find it interesting, that list. It comes up again and

again – chocolate, olive oil, honey, and wine. She's like, "Wait, that's about me!" She's like

pulling her shirt off here in the front row. It's all gonna be good; just don't show anybody.

Food rewards are amazingly important – for you. And that list keeps recycling itself. And what

is in that list? Chocolate and honey. Let me tell you, folks: that's the basis of the entire candy

industry, chocolate and honey. Once you lock those two in together that is the basis of all

candy. That's the basis of all dessert. That's it. And they are associated with longevity. I know

this is going to sound crazy, probably impossible. This is going to be totally ridiculous –

absolutely preposterous – that living a long time would have something to do with having fun.

[cheers] Can't believe it. No. Impossible. Heresy being spoken here on the stage. That living a

long time would have something perhaps to do with having the best day ever. Maybe.

Possible? No. [laughter] There would be no connection there at all. Good, we got that switched

out [pointing behind him], get the right treats in there.


!It's interesting too: rats and cows can't eat chocolate. It is toxic to them. All those thousands of

years in Mexico City where they were using chocolate as money, whoa! They do weird stuff,

inflation, bankster activities, whatever. No problem. You just eat the money. And what kind of

party is that? It's a Chocolate Party.

Olive oil. I mentioned that study yesterday about that 40,000 people studied in Spain, they

found out that the longest-lived people in that group were the highest consumers of olive oil.

Olive oil has to have that property as well – a slickening agent for your cardiovascular system.

Another thing about olive oil is it's a natural aromatase inhibitor; it blocks a good hormone

from becoming a bad [hormone]. When we go through that list we see that that is a

characteristic of this list of the top longevity foods. They are natural aromatase inhibitors. They

block good, healthy hormones from back-flipping over into like a horrible type of estrogen that

is basically a toxin.

And I am going to put this out there, and I will debate this with anybody. What is the worst

type of toxin? Not heavy metals. Cytotoxins? MSG? Carcinogens? The worst type of toxins?

Toxic hormones. Toxic estrogens. They build up, they stick to your liver like glue and they get

stuck there. And that is why it's so important to methylate. What is that? That is a big aspect of

fresh food. It's a major component of all raw foods. It is very predominant in two particular

foods, one of which has been associated with longevity for 5,000 years – and that is the goji

berry and the beet. Beet is the word on the street. They are methylators, so they clean up your

liver and keep those gluey toxic estrogens from sticking so that you can keep going. There has

been recently a very high preponderance of research that has been recycled back in now into

the mainstream consciousness about methylation and mental disorders and neurological

problems.

I suspect very strongly that the toxicity in our environment is associated with the epidemic of

anxiety which is affecting 10 percent of the population, 8 percent of the population; 22 percent

of the population is affected by some kind of a mental or neurological disorder. It has to be

that, because our brain is sucking up all these resources, all these nutrients, all that oxygen, all

that sugar, and there are toxins coming right along with it, and when this goes cuckoo then we

can't really get where we need to get [pointing to his temples]. And this is, as we are hearing

from Mark Robert Waldman, is the master control center up here. It's kind of obvious. Right?

Like when you look at a dog you're like, "Okay. They can smell stuff, because they have got a

big nose." When you look at a human, our thing that is weird about us is our head is big. We


!have this big old head. [laughter] And so it is super important to keep our brain clean and

methylating properly. And that is not only associated with the liver, but every part of your

body. And so high methylation and the ability to methylate is associated with neurological

health. It would be great to make it to 112, but what if you can't even, like, get out of bed?

What if you don't have this left? What if you don't have your faculties or your memories? We

don't want to get there like that. We have got to take it all with us. And then boom, we check

out, reincarnate, come right back, bring it all back in, boom. That's not real, is it?

Dr. Ian Stephenson, his successor Jim Tucker – Ian Stephenson spent 40 years of his career and

studied 3,000 cases of suspected reincarnation. You should read his research because it is

scientific research. I think he wrote 40 books. He wrote a lot of books over the years. It might

be 14 or it was 40. [laughter] I'm trying to get to that page on that. Where is this, 14 or 40? He

wrote a lot of books on the subject and what it is indicating to us— And what is actually an

ancient Christian belief, and I'm sure if you look at any religious belief, it's in there somewhere

in some sect, or maybe it's a mainstream thing in some religions, but it's there. And what does

it indicate? Well, one thing about longevity is, we don't want to be getting into longevity out of

fear of dying! So we have got to dump that one off. There is one of Ian Stephenson's books. So

the drive has to be something that keeps us in the game: curiosity, interest, passion, desire. But

we are not being motivated out of fear. We are going into something that is bringing us joy.

That's why we want to stay here longer.

Here is a great success principle: the longer you are here, or the more chances you get to try

stuff, the more likely you are gonna succeed. Where does KFC come from? What about the

story of Colonel Sanders? Dead broke, almost dead in his sixties. Went to 1,008 restaurants

trying to sell his chicken recipe. Was living in the backseat of his car, like family truckster

style car. Eventually one success, another, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, he did that with chicken.

In his sixties. You guys think you can do better? I think so. Absolutely. So it ain't over 'til it's

over. Yep. As long as you're still kickin', you've got something left.

So those are the foods. Those are the things we have got to focus down on: chocolate, olive oil.

Honey also. Rudolf Steiner – I'm a big fan of Rudolf Steiner – there is nothing more valuable

than adding the right amount of honey to your diet. The right amount for you. Now if you have

Candida, heavy sugar sensitivity, you don't do any. But if you are healthy and you are happy

and everything is good, switch out all sweeteners for honey, because honey is the highest

natural enzyme food in the world. As Rudolf Steiner says, it takes that ethereal and astral body


!and links them together, or the water element and the air element of your body and brings them

together. That's why it's a throat coat. When you get a sore throat it's a disturbance between

your water body and your air. Right? The water body, the liquid on, your mucosa layer on your

lungs, and the air coming in. It's a disturbance there. Honey is the best throat coat there is.

And the way it gets into your body and hydrates you. I have had many, many airplane trips

where I came off that plane and just started drinking honey. This was before they banned every

kind of liquid on planes, or whatever that was – whatever other like, worse thing ever goes on

in airports. But you know what? With the worst thing ever comes this: the best ever. Here is

what is happening now. I am going through the Security. I'm like, I'm opting out of whatever

that latest machine is that is gonna cause cancer in ten years and then we're going to find out

about it and it's going to be the worst thing ever and everybody has been exposed to it. So

opting out of that. So now, I don't even have to go through the X-ray thing at all with the metal

detector! I don't have to go through that, I don't have to go through the other thing; they take

me right around both and I go right to – yeah, they pat me down, absolutely. I don't have to go

through any radiation thing at all. Awesome! [applause] Which is proving to us that the worse

it gets, the better it gets.

I have had that repeatedly proven to me. I'm like, "Okay. Whatever this new machine is,

whatever that thing is, and again it's going to be"— It's a TETRA microwave radiation, which

is sending out microwaves that are the size of your DNA, and I'll bet it is unraveling DNA or

damaging DNA. That's my guess from the research. And I'm like, "Nope. I'm opting out of

that." And like yeah, [holds his arms out like ready to be patted down]. "Do you want a private

screening?" No. I've got nothing to hide. Let's get this thing going here. And I'm getting out of

all of that exposure to radiation now because the worse it gets, the better it gets. The doomsday

reporters. Man. Ooof.

So we start looking a little bit deeper into honey, and we find out it's actually very hydrating.

And so that is how I developed the honey-drinking trick. Have you guys ever seen that? I

wonder if I have any up here. Where is my honey supply? It might be gone. The honey-

drinking trick isn't really a trick. I just drink the honey. [laughter] People write me. They're

like, "Um, yeah. We went to your event. The celery was awesome, we liked the talk about

celery and kale and we love superfoods, but we hated the honey-drinking trick." Well, first of

all, it's not a trick. Second of all, what?! What do you mean you hated the honey-drinking

trick? Here it is. Okay. You guys want to see the honey-drinking trick? This is – look at that


![opening a jar of NoniLand Black Gold honey]. This is honey from my farm. This is the best

batch we have ever had. This is the Black Gold. Look. It's not even stopping. Okay. Boom.

There we go. [drinks some honey and then dances a bit with his eyes closed "in a groove"]

That was good. Hold on. I'm gonna have another sip. [pantomimes someone typing at a

keyboard:] "We went to the Longevity Now® Conference. We were having the best time ever,

except we hated the honey-drinking trick. What was that?"

Once we got that food list going – we talked about the high-phenolic wine. The reason why

wine is the best delivery form of resveratrol is because it's an alcohol. And resveratrol has a

three and a half hour life in your body. If it doesn't get to that cell site within three and a half

hours, it doesn't work. It'll bounce. That is why powdered resveratrol products are not going to

do the job. It has to actually get to the cell site. That is what the research indicates, and that is

how come those people figured out, all those thousands of years ago, "There is something we

have got to deliver. There is something we are missing. There is a noble aspect of the grape

that we are missing, and if we deliver it in a wine, we can get it. In an alcohol we can get it."

And that ended up being the development of the entire thing we call wine. Now most wines

today have very low resveratrol, so you go to the darkest wines there are – Pinot Noirs all the

way down to the port wines, if you are into that sort of thing. And it shuts off the development

of all age-related conditions right at the cellular level. The cellular mechanisms, the epigenetic

mechanisms that cause aging are shut off by resveratrol and its associated compounds,

including xanthohumol – Hops X Factor – and cannabidiol (CBD), which you are going to hear

a lot more about, and that is where we are going to go here in a second.

But I do want to mention one fifth thing that comes up when we are talking about longevity

substances, like foods, historically. It is one that has confused thousands if not millions of

longevity researchers for decades, and that is the longest-lived people in the world are tobacco

smokers. Right? And you're like, "Wait a second. Marlboro, Camel, Virginia Slims." Are you

going to live a long time with that stuff? Absolutely not. That stuff is the most dangerous stuff

there is. So I want to put this out there, because it is an anomaly and you will see it if you start

looking. Like, I read the book about the Shivapuri Baba. This dude is the best ever. He lived to

be 137. That's him. Is he the best thing ever? [makes a silly Hindi accent and says:] "Hello. I'm

your friend. Hello. Internet. You have?" He lived to be 137. I am reading a book, boom,

tobacco smoker. I was like, "What?! This dude is a perfect yogi. How can that be?!" It's in

there, but I'm not surprised by it, because tobacco contains MAOi inhibitors. What that does, it

prevents the breakdown of certain neurotransmitters that you produce – like serotonin – and it


!keeps them in circulation in your system longer. Because we do develop an age-related defect,

and that is we start recycling neurotransmitters too early. That's why you kind of get, like, the

grumpy old man and the mean old lady and that kind of thing. It's because our

neurotransmitters are flooding our system and tobacco prevents that from happening. So if you

survive the tars, the resins, and everything else you could actually live a long time.

Now obviously Virginia Slims, Camel, whatever that stuff is – God knows what it is – it

contains 4,000 chemicals – is the most dangerous thing ever, and here's why. Nicotine is very

similar to nicotinamide, which is very similar to niacinimide, which is basically niacin.

Nicotine and niacin (or vitamin B3) are very close to each other and they dilate everything.

This is another aspect and metaphor of tobacco's longevity properties, that is dilates everything,

opens you up so you can detoxify. You have heard of doing a niacin flush to detoxify? Well,

how did it start? Because originally it was a nicotine flush. Right? Big hit of a cigar, you're like

[pantomimes being bowled over], [sign behind him misspells niacin as niacine], you know, you

talk about driving and drugs, my God! One hit of a cigar, you can't stay on the road. But it's

legal! All these chemicals, the 4,000 chemicals that they put on the nicotine, the nicotine is a

driver. Every single living organism on the earth, every amoeba, every bacteria, every cell in a

sea slug, every cell on a medicinal mushroom, every cell in your body, reacts to vitamin B3.

And in most cases it dilates, so it opens it up. And in comes the 4,000 added chemicals, the

whatever kind of weird burn agents that are used to burn the cigarette down, and there are

4,000 of them. Chemical tobacco, like factory farming, is by far the most dangerous thing you

can do. Because you can't resist it. The nicotine comes in with all that chemical riding on top of

it and it drives it literally into the depths of every cell in your whole body. Tobacco doesn't kill;

chemical tobacco does.

And I want you guys to have that distinction so we can get to a place of understanding, because

when it comes to herbs, tobacco is by far the most consumed herb on the whole Earth – easily.

Nothing is even close. A hundred times more than the [other] most [consumed] herbs on the

whole planet. And so we have got to understand what it really is. Why is it that Amazonian

shamans—? I have an Amazonian shaman friend of mine, he's 93 this year. He has been

smoking since he was 12 years old. I mean like I never got— I was like, "How do you do

that?" For me it was like, we tried smoking tobacco when I was like 16 or something, and

immediately puking and just like, "Don't do that!" That's him [indicates photo on screen]. He's

still going. What an amazing guy. I had to put that out there.


!There is interesting anti-aging properties that have been developed by tobacco research in

longevity. One of them is DMAE. You guys ever heard of DMAE [(2-

dimethylaminoethanol)]? Jarrow Vital? [sic; Jarrow Adrenal Optimizer]. DMAE, and it works

on similar principles. It's an MAOi inhibitor, it's an MAOi inhibitor. It stops the breakdown of

certain neurotransmitters, keeps them in your metabolism longer so you kind of stay happier

and everything kind of kicks on for a longer period of time.

This then led eventually to research into what is really causing depression, and are there herbal

things that can be used for depression. So MAOi inhibitors – for example cat's claw, [also

known as] uña de gato, is one of those. And so when I look at the great herbs of the Amazon,

you will see, like boom, cat's claw is right in there in the top five. Uña de gato. It's in the top

five. And it has an anti-aging quality, and this is a characteristic of anti-aging medicines, this

particular aspect, and it was discovered in tobacco.

We can look at many different directions, but what it is really going to come down to is what is

available and what you can do right now. So I'm going to kind of take you through what I think

is an important kind of protocol to have throughout your day. One of them is this whole thing

of watching very closely for the buildup of estrogen metabolites in your system. Yesterday I

talked about it as a Po-Ke-No game, because if those metabolites overflow certain buckets,

then all of a sudden that breast tissue is like grow, grow, grow; that ovarian tissue, grow, grow,

grow, grow, grow; the uterus lining, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow. It starts to signal a hyper

growth. The hormone will signal it. So if the heart disease doesn't get us, if the stroke doesn't

get us, eventually the cancer could get us. But you know what actually gets all the longest-lived

creatures in the world in the very end? Calcium buildup called arthritis. So the reason why a

giant turtle will actually die after 300 years is they eventually can't move; they are too arthritic.

It's natural. Arthritis has been detected in bones of dinosaurs. It's been here all along. It's a

natural recycling mechanism. So when we start to look at that, we start to get this idea like,

"Oh. Okay. We've got to clean out the hormones so that we are always epigenetically switching

on the good hormones which drive down calcification."

Remember that conversation about levity and gravity? That there can never be gravity— I

mean the whole thing is preposterous without levity. Right? That's obvious. Like, what is going

on in an atmosphere is absolutely nothing [compared] to what is going on inside of your body.

In fact, why do you have a skin? Why are you shielded from the atmosphere? Why is the

atmosphere different? Why is a tree shielded by bark? What is going on inside the tree that is


!different? Well, there is a levitational phenomenon going on inside a tree. We had Dr. [James]

Oschman here talking, I think two conferences ago. He is one of the premiere energetic

medicine guys in the world, and what he told me when I asked him how the joints work –

because I knew he was going to have an interesting answer on that – he said, "You know what

we believe is going on with the joints now is there is some kind of a levitational property going

on," that your joints produce a negative pressure just like a tree does that sucks the sap up. The

sap isn't being pushed up. Come on. That would create friction and create heat. You touch a

tree, it's always cold. Under a tree is always cooler. How could that be if it's friction? It's not.

It's levity.

And these levitational elements have to do with our joints, have to do with our whole

metabolism. When we start to play around with this and we start to go, "Okay, what are the

levitational substances?" Hormones are levitational substances. And it is kind of obvious in this

way: Mother crashes the car, the car is rolled up over, the baby is trapped inside, mother picks

up the car, moves it, gets the baby out, baby survives. We have heard those stories. Because

adrenalin is levitational. Adrenalin, which is produced out of salt, is levitational because salt is

levitational.

Now, I speak about that metaphorically so we can get a deeper understanding, because our

surface material science is so in the box of this [pantomimes limited vision] that we can't see

the metaphors. Like for example, one of the great androgenic foods in the world is sweet

potato. Sweet potato to me, if you are raising a kid and you are like, "Okay, what is a great

food to center a kid's diet around?" Sweet potato for sure is one of those. And it has androgenic

properties because it's not directly building progesterone, but definitely indirectly there is an

anecdotal connection. And when you see how sweet potato grows, all of a sudden it just goes

boom! And it's up there, like that. It suddenly shoots up, up there. It climbs up fences, right

over the fence. The root is down there, but the actual leaves and stuff go all the way up there.

What is in there? Well, it's basically progesterone analogs. It has a levitational force going on.

It's something like that.

What I am digging at and where we are going to go in this next little section is, at all times, in

all choices, always choose things that have levitational metaphors or are associated with that.

That's why I'm into medicinal mushrooms. What's a medicinal mushroom doing? First of all,

it's eating up all that levitational material that the tree was built out of once we get out of the

whole, "Well, it's just carbon and it's just silica and it's just oxygen." I can take you through the


!periodic table and show you mistakes left, right, and center that I know for sure from our own

research laboratory that they are mistakes. So I'm not bought into all that. I am going to take

you through the metaphors of levity so that you can go, "Okay, that tree is obviously doing

something completely impossible," and that is it is violating the law of gravity. So are you.

Watch this, [jumps up and down] haha, haha. I don't sense my own weight. I can bounce

around. Inside my body levity predominates. As soon as it doesn't, I'm checkin' out. I'm

calcifying. I'm becoming arthritic. I'm being squished, cr-cr-cr-cr-k! Always selecting

levitational substances whenever possible.

The mushroom is eating up that old tree. Medicinal mushrooms are tree mushrooms. You need

to know that and you need to know that connection. I am astonished that the top mushroom

scientists in the world don't overtly say that to you. That is an amazing discovery, that

medicinal mushrooms are tree mushrooms – that there is a connection between trees and

medicine. Obviously there is Cordyceps, which grows in a place where there are no trees.

There is Agaricus blazei which is – you know, there is always an exception to the rule. For the

most part, they come out of trees. They eat the tree. They take all that levitational force. It

comes out in the fruiting body, the part that comes out of the tree, that part right there

[indicates photo on screen]. And then one day out of the year for about a minute it will go p-s-

s-s-h-t, p-s-s-s-h-t, p-s-s-s-h-t and blow its spores out. The spores come out of the bottom and

they go up like smoke and they go up in the atmosphere and they blow around. There have

been mushroom spores found at the top altitudes of the planet where no bacteria can survive. In

the rarefied environment of the stratosphere there are mushroom spores that can survive, and

they are there. It has levity, and the mushroom spore has levity.

And I have been playing with this theory: the more levitational the substance, the more

medicinal it is. So when we get to like a Ron Teeguarden Reishi mushroom spore oil, that

should be radically more powerful than just Reishi mushroom, which according to the research

it is anywhere from 200 to 700 times more powerful than Reishi mushroom itself. Isn't that

fascinating? What is that about? That buoyancy is something I am always looking at.

Astragalus. You talk about an anti-aging herb, astragalus, the traditional Taoist principle of

astragalus is it has an upward-moving force in it; something that creates upward-moving force.

Well I'm going, "Oh. You mean levity." Right? It has levity. So astragalus to me is one of those

things, because it has a history, it is time-proven, it's known, it's immunological and it has a

specific phraseology that correlates to levity about it. That's in. That's in the game.


!All this stuff of precipitating iron in your system? Gravitational. Precipitating calcium into

your system? Gravitational. All of that. And we always want to be in the space of levity.

Everything we choose, everything we do. Look at a grape. What does a grape do? What is a

grape's normal environment? It winds its way up, all the way up into the forest, up into the

upper canopy. It's like a tree. It's levity. And what is the compound that is in there? Resveratrol.

The same is true with hops. It winds its way all the way up in there, all the way up into the top

of the tree and then, you know, it has a little spot where it gets some sun. Levity.

These principles are metaphorical but they are really important to always be considering every

time you eat anything. "Is that going to gravitate me or is that going to levitate me? Is it going

to bring me up? Is it going to bring me down?" Which direction can we go with all this? The

supplements that I am really into are like – as far as real supplements – iodine. Iodine is a

vaporous gas. S-s-s-h-h-e-w! When you put iodine on your skin, half of it evaporates right in

the atmosphere immediately. It's a vaporous gas. Ormus Gold is sometimes called the "white

dove" – because it flies. It's a vaporous gas. It goes right into you. It falls. It's just in. See, that

is the kind of thing that I am always thinking about. These ormus elements have always been

associated with levity by the way, and they will actually levitate under some controlled

scientific conditions, actually float like a – what are those things called? Cold fusion. What

were they doing there? They were, they were— It will come to me. The main thing about this

type of material is, when you think of like sulfur, what is that? Sulfur helps buoyancy. That's

why it's good for your joints. When the joint becomes diseased it starts to build up a positive

pressure – and my friend Dr. Lyons is here. He told me this. Where are you, Dr. Lyons? That

when you put a needle – is he in here? When you put a needle into a diseased joint, it will push

it out. When you put a needle into a healthy joint it sucks it in – because it is evolved in

negative pressure.

This brings up a really powerful herb that I have mentioned over and over again. It's an herb

that has worked its way into my life and it has made its presence known and it's like, it's in

there. And I will take it for the rest of my life. I first became aware of it through researching

the Chinese herbs. It's in the top ten. It's a tree bark and it can grow where I live, so I'm like,

"Okay, I want to grow that." And I busted up a couple knuckles really badly and for a couple

months it didn't heal. I was like, "Whoa. This is like, problematic," because that is how arthritis

starts. You bust yourself up and then it doesn't heal quite properly. I came back to LA, I went

to Ron Teeguarden's place and I got his eucommia extract, because it is an alcohol-soluble

compound. I did four droppersful and it went away immediately. And I was like, "What?"


!Immediately. That day it was gone and it has never come back. It was that fast. This kind of

material, it's a tree bark. It's black in color. That is its natural color. It's the inside of the tree

bark, it's actually black in color, and it seals off all of your capsules, all your joint capsules. It

seals off all your connective tissue. This is why it is recommended as a pregnancy herb,

because it seals everything up. So if you have had damage to your knuckles, your joints, you

have got to seal it up so your body can go, w-w-h-h-f-f-f-t, w-w-h-h-f-f-f-t, w-w-h-h-f-f-f-t and

suck out and create a negative pressure in the joint capsule again. If the material around the

joint is compromised, if it is not built out of sulfur, if it is not built out of omega-3 fatty acids,

if the right protein is not there, if it doesn't have a sealant, if you have no vitamin C in your

diet, it can't seal the joint off and there will be a leak – and then it can't develop a negative

pressure that develops levity so the joints start hitting each other and rubbing, next thing you

know you've got bone on bone. So in order to seal it and repair it you have to actually seal it

off and then you have to let your body suck the pressure out and create a negative pressure in

there exactly like what is created in a tree, and that is the way to keep your joints healthy.

That's why when you are looking at this, if you are going, "I'm going to get a shoulder

surgery," no way. Don't do it. Knee surgery? Uh-uh [negative]. You are better off with a sham

surgery, as we found out. You are better off with a fake surgery. Because once that joint is

exposed to the atmosphere and oxidizes, it will never be the same – because then your body has

to work to seal it completely back off, get rid of all the scar tissue and then pump out whatever

oxidation has occurred, and by the time you are 50 you are not going to have time to do it. If

you are ten you might be able to get there, but not by the time you are 50. It will take years,

and even then you have to eat exactly perfectly, you have to do exactly the right things in order

to make that happen. This is one of the main aspects of the whole picture, is preserving our

joints as well. And preserving our brain. And all these things are sealed in by membranes, and

eucommia seals that membrane completely in.

Another thing about this whole longevity thing is that if you give me another 15 years, I'll get

you another 40. [applause and cheers] You think you are going down for the last time, just

hang in there, don't worry about it, stop thinking that way, just hang in there, fake it, pretend

like you are going to make it another 15 years and you watch what is going to happen –

because all of these therapies are going to be coming. When I was talking to Aubrey de Grey

about the enzyme therapies, the enzyme therapies that they are developing to eat up the plaque,

like amyloid plaques that cause arthritis, the amyloid plaques that cause heart disease, the

amyloid plaques that cause strokes – the therapies that they are developing right now will be a


!million times more powerful than what exists today. A million times more powerful. I was like,

"A million?" He's like, "Yeah. A million times more powerful." That's what's coming. The 200-

year-old human is in the room. They're 16 right now. [audience member: 14!] Fourteen. Sorry.

They're in the room right now. What's gonna come down the pipeline? Stem cell therapies.

Where is that at right now? [applause]

We'll talk about that. Stem cell therapy. Where is Ky? I just saw her. You guys are in the room

somewhere. All right. Yes. Their dad. Ky introduced me to his dad. This is Jassar, he is also of

the sun, and I'm like, all these years I'm like, "You got to get off the sugar. You got to get

organic. You got to do something." Just bounced off, bounced off, bounced off. And then all of

a sudden when your grandma died – his mom and his grandma – he got activated. And this guy

is a titanic entrepreneur, unbelievable high-powered entrepreneur, like next-level-beyond-next-

level. And he has resources. And he began to travel all around the world. That's him [pointing

to screen with photo of older man flanked by two bikini-wearing young women on each side].

He's got resources. [laughter] He started traveling all over the world trying to figure out how to

save his mom and then figuring out where we actually really are in our understanding of

medicine, and then came headlong into the whole stem cell thing.

Your stem cells are produced in abundance in your bone marrow, especially when you are

young. Probably the key marker of aging and the key marker of the inability of your body to

repair itself is you don't produce the same amount of stem cells as you did when you were 18.

That's why when you are 16 or 18, you injure yourself, you recover. When you are 68 or 80,

you have a similar type of injury and still hurts you years later because the stem cell production

isn't quite where it was. Because the stem cell revolution is a major competitor to certain

interests of certain kinds that shall go unnamed, we get, "They're taking dead babies and they

are injecting them into the fetal tissue of humans" or whatever kind of weird story you got

about that.

And actually here is what it comes down to. There are three sources of stem cells in your own

body. They are in your blood, they are in your fat and they are in your bone marrow. The stem

cells in your body can be identified now out of your blood, they can be suctioned off and then

multiplied or colonized outside of your body so that you can take a number from say 100,000

to a billion, then drip that back in your body and all of a sudden you are getting the amount of

stem cells in your blood you had when you were 18. You do that every three months and all of

a sudden the old injuries start washing away. Dr. Dave Woynarowski who was here. He called


!me on Skype one day and he's like, "I just went and had this stem cell therapy, and this one

they don't go into your fat, they don't go into your blood; they punch right into your bone

marrow." It's not the funnest thing ever. Because the best stem cells are there. They pull that

out, they multiply that, then they drip it back into you with all the other material too, so nothing

is lost. You are not wasting anything. Everything that was in that bone marrow material all

comes back in as well, plus they have taken 100,000 stem cells, grown them to a billion, and

then they drip it back into you. In one treatment his running injury was well enough that he

could run again. He hadn't run in a couple years. One treatment. Because this is how you heal.

You have got to have the stem cells there to heal.

So I'm talking to [Peter] Nygård about all this stuff over all these years of raw food, organic

food, superfoods, superherbs, something please! Finally it clicked. He is right now developing

the world's premiere stem cell laboratory and hospital in the Bahamas. The entire Bahamas

government— I called him one day and he's like, "I'm talking to the President of the Bahamas.

I'll call you back." I'm like, "Okay." One time my phone rings – this is the wildest thing – one

time my phone rings. I'm like, "Who is it?" It's the Vatican! Like, "Okay. I'll take it." [laughter]

It was this guy, Michael. Amazing musician. He's the musician for the Vatican. He called me

up. We were hanging out actually at Nygård's house and one day he called up the house. It was

the Vatican calling. You just never know who is in the audience.

So these stem cells have nothing to do with anything outside of you, it has nothing to do with

fetal tissue. You can take stem cells out of a human body in America, but you can't grow them

in a Petri dish from 100,000 to a billion because that could help you. So you have to go across

the border to Mexico or to the Bahamas or to Belize or wherever the treatment is happening so

you can actually have them multiplied. That technology right there is going to add 30, 40, 50,

60 years to your life. Just that. You do that every three months, you are a new person. It

remakes you. Because again, one of the defects of aging, one of the molecular damage points

of aging, is we can't replenish the stem cells fast enough in order to get it to happen.

Of course I am always thinking, "Okay. I don't really want – that's kind of crazy, right through

the bone, what would go on there?" So that's why I am always onto the blue foods. The blue

foods, because that is where the stem cell production is happening. The blue foods go to the

bone marrow. Name a blue food. [audience: Blueberries!] Spirulina, AFA blue-green algae,

blue corn, maqui berries. See how quickly we ran out of that list? Kentucky bluegrass. You got

it. It is blue actually. Because blue foods, that is something you want to look for, it is


!something you want to be aware of, because it goes right to those stem cells and it helps you

produce more stem cells.

And as I was saying to you before, we want to go to the time-proven longevity substances like

Reishi mushroom, and then we mix it. Let's say you are not on nacho cheese GMO corn chips.

Let's say you have actually been nourishing yourself really, really well. You know what has

been found out with the stem cell therapies? They work better. If you are fit and you are

healthy and you have been nourishing yourself with superfoods, your blood and bone marrow

looks radically different than everybody else's and stem cell therapies work better. In fact,

that's why Peter called me, Peter Nygård called me. He's like, "We need your advice on how to

do this," because they know that now. In the stem cell world they have figured out that if the

person actually eats right and is fit, all the stuff that is done works better. It's kind of obvious.

So now we start getting into an integrative approach. And this is something you want to start

thinking about every three to six months. Here is an industry for the kids in the room – the 14-

year-olds and the 16-year-olds. You want a future? If this is of interest to you, if this area of

research is of interest to you, medical tourism. We're going to the Bahamas. We're having the

best time ever on the beach – and we're getting stem cell therapies. [applause] Medical

tourism. It's not illegal over there. It's illegal here. So let's go over there. We're going on a

vacation – the best vacation ever. [laughter]

There are about 20 superfoods that I really recommend – aloe vera being one of them, right?

The connective tissue, the great grouping of algaes that we have talked about – chlorella to

sponge out those toxins out of you, spirulina, blue-green algae if those agree with you, if you

like those with the phycocyanin and the blue pigments. There is the marine phytoplankton

where we can get all that nervous-system-building tissue without having to eat GMO globally-

warmed fish. [laughter] "I will take some pesticide soup. I would love the globally warmed

fish and I'd love the gliadin-rich, gluten-rich bread. Thank you." [laughter] This is marine

phytoplankton here [on screen]. This is the kind of stuff that kind of has to be there instead of

the other things that we had a hundred years ago, because we can't really eat that anymore. We

can't eat tuna anymore. It's got Fukushima radiation in it, it's got mercury in it. So we now have

to go more to the Earth's source and clean, controllable sources. Plus it is nutrient-dense, so we

don't have to eat much of it.

Here is what is learned about longevity. Sonar Kella broke the world record in chicken

lifespans by three principles: (1) feed the chickens raw foods, (2) all those foods, mineral-rich,


!(3) don't feed them very much of it. Raw foods, mineral-rich, not very much. It's a natural thing

that happens over time. If you have been on nutrient-rich food you really don't – you're not that

hungry that often, or if you are hungry you eat like one bite of a macadamia nut, you're like,

"I'm full. I'm done." So after a while the appetite comes under control.

Getting off the allergens, right? This gluten. You'll hear from Dr. William Davis today. He is

going to tell you about gluten, and one of the things about gluten is – and gliadins, especially

gliadins, the opiates that are in wheat – is they caused you to eat 500, 800, 1000, 1200, 1700

and more calories than you would normally eat in a single day. They stimulate it. So once you

come off of that stuff, once we get into -- you like that one? [points to screen; don't know

what] Once we get into the superfood revolution then it's automatic; the amount that we are

eating comes right down into a controllable space. And then step-by-step-by-step we can go

further.

Recently we were in Bali. I got some kind of amoeba. Even amoebas have nicotine cell site

receptors. Couldn't eat, couldn't drink. I'm like, "You know what? I'm going to follow my

body's instincts. My body is telling me, 'Don't eat, don't drink'. I'll just do that." Because I was

perfectly fine as long as I didn't eat or drink. As soon as I drank anything, immediately

everything is coming out. As soon as I ate anything, immediately it's coming out. I'm like,

"Okay. I just won't eat and drink." Did no food or water for five days while doing the middle of

the retreat, middle of the retreat, everything is going normal. I felt great! I didn't want it to end.

I was like at a state of like, "aaaaaaaaaaah"! I felt like those bells were ringing all the time. The

sixth night we had a Cacao Party. You know, what can you do? [laughter] That's not possible if

we are malnourished. If we are nourished many things are possible [that] we are not aware of.

We can go long periods of time with less food or no food or no water. If we are hydrated we

can go long periods of time with no water; if we are dehydrated we cannot. It's kind of an

obvious principle.

That's why – depending on your stage – different information applies to you. In the beginning

we have got to get that nourishment built up to get all those antioxidants and colors into our

diet so we have built up that reserve. Then we go to a secondary step of, "Okay. Now we need

to start looking into more, like instead of having globally warmed fish, let's see if we could

have spirulina instead." And we go to that superfood revolution, then we get into the superherb

revolution and the supplements.


!A couple of the supplements that I take in that realm of like – really they are extracts of

superherbs – TA-65 and the Super Pill 2, Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill 2 – because they work

on deactivating a principle of aging that, as we age we lose the ends of our DNA caps. They

fray. The telomeres are damaged. Like a shoelace. You guys ever, like, had a shoelace, you

were a kid, you were tying your shoe and then that day when the shoelace end comes off and

you're like, "Oh no, it looks terrible now, but whatever." That shoelace end, that little plastic

thing that wrapped around the end of the shoelace, that's your telomeres at the end of your

DNA. When you are incarnated, the moment of conception you have 10,000 caps on there. By

the time you are born it's 5,000. It takes a hundred years to use all that up. So by a hundred

years you are pretty much almost checking out. If something can restore those DNA end caps,

it can have anti-aging qualities, as was proven recently. A group of three scientists won the

Nobel Prize for that. And there are certain substances that can help with that process, and one

that has been proven to work – which is TA-65. It's an astragalus extract.

Now I immediately went to Ron, and I was like, "Hey Ron, do have this like, you know the

TA-65 is an astragalus extract." And he's like, "Yeah. Actually we have been working on that

for 20 years. It just hadn't been the right time." I'm like, "You know what? You need to like put

that out there." So he put that out there as a product called the Super Pill 2, which is, instead of

being $600 it's $100. One thing that is great about TA-65 is I know Dr. Dave, the guy who

went and got the stem cell therapy, so he gives me bottles for free. But, you know, you've got

to have the right connections. [laughter]

Yet another piece of the puzzle. Stack the odds in your favor whenever possible. Always

thinking about that with every move and everything that is happening. I'm in a plane, they

come around with the plastic water. Am I going, "Yep. I'm having that"? No. It's like I can

survive. Another two hours? No problem. I'm not having that plastic water. Just stacking the

odds in favor whenever possible. I'm in the plane. I'm not going anywhere else anyway. I might

as well meditate. As we are finding out here – right? – people who meditate have a 50 percent

greater chance of survival of breast cancer. What an amazing discovery. That's the Super Pill 2

[pointing to photo on screen] So, certain things to strip out those toxic estrogens.

We've got to keep the hormones in place. This is Suzanne Somers' message. Remember this:

that as soon as you are unfit for reproduction, nature in its own logic starts selecting you out.

So you always want to keep your hormones in a place where nature goes, "Oh, you can still

keep a baby going. Okay. We'll keep you on the planet." And that's where the hormones come


!in, so we've got to strip out those toxic estrogens, build up those androgens. If we are building

that up, one of the great things that vegans a lot of times get is low hormones. The yogis

figured this out. So what did the yogis do? They are like, "How do we go to just that thing

that's got that one pure substance that builds the hormones – cholesterol?" They went to ghee.

Clarified butter. So they get just the tiniest little essence of that and without much of anything

else to keep those hormones up to keep the anti-aging going. And then things like EstroGuard,

stripping out those bad hormones. Things like methylators, stripping out those bad hormones

on both sides. All of these pieces come into play. They all stack in there. We've got to stack it

in, in a way that is understandable.

Those superfoods, what else is in there? It's in my Superfoods book – hempseed, an amazing

blood builder, amazing superfood, amazing protein. How about that protein instead of globally

warmed fish? This is a big deal right now. The House and the Senate, and actually Obama, just

passed it. They are going to legalize hemp farming in America [loud applause]. All the states

have to do is go— It was just like Friday. All the states have to do is follow their little, you

know, Illuminati whatever their trip is. But if you go through all their bureaucratic paperwork

and nightmares of illegalities and every kind of little hoop and go through all their little steps

and fill out their forms and do all their little test runs and all that kind of stuff, then you can do

it. How do we get to that? Right? "Here, fill out this form." It's like, "What?" "Where are your

papers?!" [laughter] Didn't we beat them? What happened to that?

It was interesting traveling around the world this last year. There are three countries where you

don't have your papers. Right? Like every country, "Where are your papers?! Your passport,

please!" South Africa. You just walk right in. You don't fill out any paperwork; you just walk

right in the country. Israel. There's no paperwork. Right? Because they're not the Nazis! I

realized that. I'm like, "Oh wait. They're not – they're not – of course!" Holland. It was

amazing. We hit those countries one after the other, three in a row. It was like, "This is— No

paperwork." Just walk right in. How great is that?

Other superfoods. Goji berry. What an amazing – I mean wow. The goji berry, and then the

superherb, the superfood-superherb combo, that combination goji berry-schizandra. That

combination. All you do, you just do a little. That's the one product, that little product right

there, you just go, "Here. Check this out." Boom. People go, "Ooo, that tastes good." The

schizandra, that note of the schizandra. It's the five-flavor fruit. It's got the salty, bitter,

pungent, spicy and sweet. It's all of it together. Wow. And then goji, what it is, is it's history


!and it's longevity qualities. By the way, like beet it has that methylation quality. It cleans your

liver out. Incredible.

Then we go into the superherbs a little bit deeper. Once we get those superfoods in, we've got

the food sorted out, we've got the superfoods, then we go into the superherbs. And to me that's

where it's going to happen. The immunological food. A superherb is differentiated by this

particular principle. It's not echinacea. Echinacea only pushes your immune system up. It's

dual-directional. Reishi mushroom is dual-directional. If your immune system is under-

functioning it helps to build it up; if it is not functioning at all or it's overreacting, it modulates

it and brings it in. It's dual-directional. So is astragalus. Chaga. Dual-directional. It's one of

those. What else is in that boat? Schizandra is in that same thing. Do you need all of these

things? If you can understand it, if it makes sense, yeah, do it all; if you don't understand it, if it

is new to you, pick one.

Reishi mushroom by itself is extraordinarily powerful. It's the most well-studied plant in the

history of the world. Reishi mushroom is the most well-studied herb – [pronounced "erb"], erb.

Erbs. [laughter] "It's herbs [with a hard h; putting on an aristocratic attitude and British

accent]. Excuse me, my dear chap. It's herbs." It's the most well-studied herb in the history of

the world. It's had more research on it, hundreds of thousands of studies have been done on it. I

don't know about you, I'm taking that – just on that. If it was nothing, if it was horrible, if it did

nothing then there wouldn't be any studies on it. Right? That's the logic. Yet here it is. I found

the Reishi mushroom all over. You remember what I said yesterday? Take good heed of it. It's

found in every forested ecosystem in the world. What an amazing thing. And I don't want you

to get any weird ideas that mushrooms have anything to do with UFOs [referring to photo on

screen where the Reishi mushroom looks like a UFO]. [laughter] That would be just – we

would have gone too far at that point.

What are some other ones? I really like the Pau d'Arco-Cat's Claw combination, that great

Amazonian combination. Pau d'Arco. How is that spelled? P-a-u, d apostrophe A-r-c-o, like a

tea cut like that [on screen], and then Cat's Claw (Uña de Gato), that combination. Pau d'Arco

is really antifungal, a little antiviral; Cat's Claw is mostly antiviral, a little bit antifungal and

they match over each other. They mirror each other perfectly, so they cover a wide variety of

spectrums – and it's delicious, and they have been eaten with chocolate for thousands of years.

Is that good? Yes.


!And here we go on some other stuff. Ho Shou Wu. They lived 5,000 years ago. They didn't

have TVs, they didn't have cell phones, they didn't have distractions, they didn't have

billboards, they didn't have freeways, they didn't have cars, [unintelligible few words] houses.

They selected that plant as being a super-Yin longevity plant. If that makes sense to me, then I

am going to pay attention to that. I don't care what herb number 333 is. We are never getting

there; it's too far away. I don't care what herb number 1,111 is; I'm not getting there, and

neither are you. I want to know what herb #1 is. I want to know what, in Chinese medicine, I

want to know what is the #1 longevity herb. What is it? And it's Ho Shou Wu. And I'll take

that. And it's delicious. Amazing. Actually Ho Shou Wu tea is like, it changed my life. Ho

Shou Wu/vanilla/Cat's Claw/Pau d'Arco/goji berry tea. [audience: Oooooo!] Yeah. It's like,

"Ooooo. That's good." The Taoist immortals, these dudes lived to be 200, 256. Li Ching-Yuen

lived to be 256 years old. He was trained by dudes who lived to be 300. They were basically

people who didn't need calories. They were like breatharians who didn't need calories, but they

inoculated themselves with the herbal medicines of their environment, and the way they did

that primarily was through living in high mountain regions in caves where they were grounded,

being exposed to the elements, drinking only glacier melt or spring water, and making tea with

all the goodies in it – the ginsengs, the goji berry, the schizandra berry, the Ho Shou Wu,

whatever was there.

I never got that logic until years later. I just started making vanilla tea, because I wanted to

mimic the vibration of coconut water, and I used to have to go to Tijuana to get coconut water.

This was back before 9/11 and all that. We used to go across and I'd come back with like 24

coconuts on each arm, and it was like just everything I could do to get across the border.

Sometimes I would even drive over there and just fill up my whole car with coconuts and drive

back. I think the limit was 50 at that time that you could bring back across the border. And then

I'd just stock my refrigerator with like, real Guadalajara coconuts. Boom, stock the refrigerator

and then it was just awesome until they ran out. Because that was the best basis for everything.

This was before the coconut water craze, any of this was going on.

And then I ran out and I started traveling too much and all of a sudden I was like, "I've got to—

How do I get that vibe?" and somehow I locked onto vanilla bean tea, actually take real whole

vanilla beans, dice them up, make a tea out of it, then take them, put them in old olive jars or in

an old container, put them in the back of the fridge where they are almost ice cold. Then I

would start to open that up, and I'd taste it, and guess what the flavor is? Cream soda. That's

where the flavor comes from. I'm like, "I've had that!" It was one of those like, "I've had that


!before. What is it? Cream soda." New York City. Vanilla tea, ice cold, in the back of the

fridge. That's an amazing thing. And then I started using that as the base, and then all of a

sudden I was like, "Maybe I could put something else in there," and I started using other herbs.

The next thing you know, that whole thing opened for me of tea-making.

Teabags. They don't go very far. It's a great place to start, but you don't want to go all the way

into that with everything you have got because you get that much [sic; indicates with his hands

he means "such a small amount"]. You want to be able to just, like, do bulk. You throw the

vanilla, you dice it up, you throw the goji berries in there, those are my Chagas and Reishis

[indicates photo on screen], you can see the herbs I have from the forest hanging out behind

there, like you see the mugwort hanging there. That's a Lion's Mane right next to my right arm,

so I'm taking little bits of that.

It goes into my 16-liter stainless steel – it's actually 316 TI stainless steel. Saladmaster. It's the

best cookware I've been able to find. They are amazing. And on a wood-burning stove, I went

directly to heaven the first day we brought Reishi up on that stove. I found Reishi in the forest.

I was down, dejected. We had been walking back and forth, across. [indicates photo on screen]

That's the name of that type of cookware. That is what you want right there. The Saladmaster

Surgical Stainless Steel 316 TI. TI for titanium. I am walking back and forth across the forest

with a friend of mine. This is on November 15, 2005. The first time I had ever found Reishi

mushroom was that day, but we were down and dejected because we found nothing. She is

like, "I know it is in this part of the forest. Like, I don't know where it is. I don't know what's

going on." We are three hours combing back and forth. Nothing. Finally, we gave up. We're

like [pantomimes breaking down and crying, then looking down and showing surprise]— The

tree had fallen over. Literally I took two steps and it was at my feet. I was there. And I saw

something that was bone smooth and blood red, which is an unusual color in the forest. It's not

a color you see. And then I was like, there they were – ten of them, racked up like that. Those

were my first two [sic] Reishi mushrooms I ever found.

We took them back, got them on that wood-burning stove, broke them into pieces, put them in

there, all spring water, fresh spring water. It tasted like hot butter. I was like, "What is this?"

That totally hooked me. Next thing you know, boom, the Chaga thing came in, hunting all

these mushrooms in the forest. It's all just gone to a whole 'nother level. There is something

about these medicinal mushrooms that help to connect us to something that really keeps us here

and wanting to live. One of the reasons why we are so enamored with Harry Potter, and we are


!so enamored with J. R. R. Tolkien, is because we sense that there is a realm that is near us

where there are denizens that inhabit that realm that are not like us, but similar. Gnomes,

dwarves, elves, places where magic still occurs. But we can't quite get there. But there is a

bridge that carries us to it. There is a stairway to heaven, and it's the mushroom kingdom. The

mushroom kingdom inhabits that in-between realm and connects us to that magic, which when

you are dealing with traffic in Toronto on a cold winter, icy, slushy day and you have got your

fresh Reishi tea and you are drinking that, you are connected to that magic, you are out of the

doom and gloom report, happiness is there, and suddenly you are having the best day ever in

spite of everything that is going on. [applause and cheers]

Thousands of years of being consumed by the great sages. Thousands of years. So that is

something I put into the mix. Absolutely. If it has that history. Reishi, Ho Shou Wu, Chaga,

schizandra, shilajit, Tulsi (the holy basil), ashwagandha. You know what they say in Ayurveda:

"If you don't have a Tulsi in front of your house, you don't even have a house." You know

what's interesting? We put one in front of the house. We put two of them in front of the house.

It moved.

I have never seen anything like this. Let me tell you this story. This is something you find out.

Anything I am talking about here – Chaga, Reishi, any of that stuff – I have either wildcrafted

it or grown it myself. Tulsi, grown it myself; ashwagandha, grown it myself; noni, grown it

myself; mango, grown it myself. That's how I feel about these things. I don't have the right to

be up here unless I have actually grown it. How would I know about it?

Here is what I notice with Tulsi. Put Tulsi up in front of the house. It didn't like it there. So all

of a sudden I see that it moved. Like, there are little Tulsi plants growing halfway down the

driveway with the coconut. Then all of a sudden it's halfway down the driveway again with

another coconut, right around the base of a coconut. Next thing I knew, it moved itself right

into the garden, and then it just set itself up there. It's been growing there for years. It moved! It

went to where it wanted to be and stayed there. That would trip me out. Tulsi. Right? It's holy

basil. It's not basil. It's something different. There is a consciousness. Something is going on

there. It's magic, and it is that preeminent female superherb.

Mangosteen rind is one of those. It's in that – it's preeminent. It's the most anti-arthritic thing I

know of other than eucommia. The eucommia/mangosteen rind. Try that on for size. There is

billions of dollars in research gone into just a couple extracts of mangosteen rind. Well, you

can get it yourself. Right now in Hawaii it's in season. We are so fortunate. There are a lot of


!Americans in this room. How many Americans in the room? How many people can cross the

border without some kind of, like, interrogation? Okay. So you can get to Hawaii relatively

easily. You get to Hawaii and everything is there. Durian now. Mangosteen. And this is a trip:

you go and you eat the mangosteen, but instead of throwing the rind away like you normally

peel an orange and throw it [the rind] away, you don't throw it away; you actually take the rind

and you put it right into your tea directly. You take the rind and you dry it and crush it to a

powder and put it right into chocolates. Boom. One of the most powerful medicinal substances,

but it's not the fruit itself. It is its carp, its skin, its rind. It's the part on the outside. It's the

queen of fruits, but the queen is tricky. The king is like the king on a chessboard – it just has

one move. That's durian. It's a pretty good move. For those of you who know durian, it's a good

move. But the queen has every move – except one. The knight. Who is the knight on the

chessboard? Cacao! [laughter] It has the weird move. It's zany.

How do you deliver these things? It's like, "Oh yeah. Superherbs. Yeah. Holy basil, yeah, right,

ashwagandha, that's the best thing ever, and Ho Shou Wu, yeah, we wrote that down," and then

all of a sudden you are home and you're like, "What do we do with this stuff?" [laughter] "How

do we—? What?" This is what you do: you get the chessboard out, you take your best piece,

the horse – the knight, which is chocolate – and you mix everything with chocolate. [applause]

It's the deliverer. It's the dilator. You'll eat it if it's in chocolate.

One time we were in Calgary. Where is Malcolm at? We are at the Light Cellar. There's

Malcolm right there. So he loads us up with all kinds of chocolates, including massive amounts

of schizandra chocolate. And as the bag got lower and lower and lower, the only ones left were

the schizandra chocolate, because it was just a little bit too strong. We still ate 'em. It was one

of those things where it's just like, "Yep. Whatever." Because if it's chocolate, you'll eat it. The

biggest challenge with herbalism, the biggest challenge with your strategy, with your protocols

and your program, the biggest challenge is compliance – actually doing it. It's the biggest

challenge: will you actually do it? The best way to actually do it? Mix everything in chocolate.
