this is the inside of my brain and this is a blue substance which might have saved my life and I'm going to show you how all this happened and how it might save the life of somebody that you know 9 months ago my brain was eating itself alive and I was having about nine seizures a day there were periods I didn't even know who my wife was this is my [Music] family and this is my new daughter Hannah she is 7 months old now Hannah was born on Christmas Eve in 2023 my memory was failing so fast that I slipped into a depression I cried when no one was around just realizing that if this kept going my own family would become strangers that I didn't recognize and the seizures almost always came with a huge dose of Amnesia so I wasn't fully aware that I was having them and I find out later that people had been seeing me have these seizures for about 3 years and I've been studying neuroscience and and neuroendocrinology for years so my family assumed assumed I would know if something was wrong I was diagnosed with temporal lob epilepsy with a possibility of something else called mesial temporal sclerosis and when this happened I got prescribed a drug to treat the symptoms to stop me from having seizures and I asked about drugs that could reverse the damage to my brain or drugs that could stop the underlying cause of the seizures and I got nothing the prescription I was given had a long list of side effects but the most common side effect of that prescription was seizures actual seizures I was desperate and scared and spent some time crying and praying to God to help me with all of this and I read through about a thousand research papers I watch a hundred videos on brain health and ways that we could potentially stop what's going on and hopefully reverse all the crap that was happening and in the midst of all of this I'm terrified I won't be able to work or support my family I'm I'm setting up life insurance I had no idea who's going to feed my kids and take care of my family if my brain keeps just essentially eating itself there was no way to tell if my brain was about to collapse like some Jenga Tower and during all this I'm having to still be on TV film YouTube videos and essentially just pretend like everything is totally fine so later I'm on a plane to Los Angeles about a week later I'm scrolling through YouTube shorts about brain health and this doctor comes up talking about neurology who sounded like a California surfer dude so I kind of dismissed it I swiped it up to go to the next video but then I processed right then what he was saying what I just heard he was talking about mitochondria the very thing that I was looking to fix inside of my brain so I tried to swipe back and I hit the home button on accident and obviously you can't go back if you're swiping it took me 2 days to find out who this doctor was after not being able to get back to that video sometimes mitochondria can be like an old car where it's producing way too much oxidation and this would be like a dysfunctional [Music] mitochondria meet Dr John Lance he is the guy from the video that I could not find when I tracked him down on YouTube he was talking about this stuff called methylene blue and he was saying all this incredible stuff that made me think if this stuff is so powerful why don't we hear about it why did my doctor tell me about it why isn't everyone taking this and I start hearing this unbelievable stuff about methylene blue I genuinely can't believe and it's literally a blue dye that was created in the 1800s to dye Fabrics I was hearing it was the Magic Bullet of medicine in fact I learned that the term Magic Bullet was first spoken in history to describe methylene blue and it's been used to treat disease since about 1890 and if you look it up you're going to really find out why they call it a Magic Bullet but at this point if you don't know what mitochondria are let me give you a super basic rundown so mitochondria are little microscopic power plants inside of every cell in your body and they're responsible for generating electricity that fuels every single function of the body and these little organel are absolutely crucial to our health because they convert nutrients into ATP this is the energy that powers everything in your body from muscle movement to activity up in your brain and almost every chronic disease from like diabetes to neurod degenerative disorders can Trace its roots back to mitochondrial dysfunction but mitochondria is also the beginning of Health all right so let's go back to Dr John laurance I've been watching this scy on YouTube now daily to learn about the brain and methylene blue and melatonin and even red light therapy and I decided to track him down and we started texting a lot I invited him to talk to my VIP clients that I coach every week about these incredible molecules and then I just decided to go see Dr John at his clinic in Sarasota and I thank God that I did it's the middle of August and I'm supposed to have an appointment today with Dr John Lance it's taking a while to get an appointment he sees a lot of people and my appointment is in like 20 minutes from right now and I'm going to take you in there with me I'm not sure what to expect he is a chiropractor he is a neurologist he's got a lot of stuff under his belt and he does some alternative approaches to brain stuff we'll see what happens just give me some history how did this all start so this condition as far as I know started 2019 but I was sitting in front of my parents and I just blacked out for like a minute and a half I had amnesia for that event and then I had another hundred more over the next year and my girlfriend at the time who's now my wife so she knew that I had postgraduate certifications and neuroendocrinology and medical neuroscience and radiology and all this stuff so she assumed that I would go see a doctor but I didn't remember any of it 2022 I recorded it on video and I was able to watch it and I said I have temporal bopsy so I'm thinking maybe the origin of some of this is head trauma yeah so I've been I've done nine deployments okay explosions all that kind of stuff I don't have any front teeth in the top left these are all fake is the bridge um straight across the midline mhm I think so broken nose I can see your nose still a few times how's you breathing through the nose that feel restricted I can only breathe out of one nostril which one this one here the right side so this is what's really interesting and I get into depth in my uh my endonasal book about like what happens because your parasympathetic nervous system is going to be more run by the um the right brain right so the left nostril is going to be more parasympathetic so if you're not breathing and that air isn't going through there you're not activating different systems yeah that are going to keep your autonomic nervous system running which is going to be like you know profusing the brain because so what what concerns me so this is supposed to move you never cross the midline wow so literally so we may see some really positive changes with you even with this apparatus in here but then you might not hold on to it and it might not be until we get this split mhm so it it can move T way out look down to your right stretch the eyes down to the right okay okay good beautiful beautiful that deep breath in the nose notice all that space that's opened up oh yeah so all this stuff I would have scoffed at was actually proven science and they don't teach this stuff in medical school I learned more about my brain health than I thought was even possible and I got really seriously introduced to the proven power of red light therapy and how red light gets absorbed and then used by methylene blue in our bodies and it's proven to help with everything from pain and inflammation to dementia and brain issues and even hair loss and I'm actually embarrassed to say that I thought all this was fringe science I really thought that and I didn't think I'd find thousands of studies and a mountain of very serious research here it's day three I just finished my second full day uh with Dr John and yesterday obviously as you saw there's some amazing stuff I just got a notification on my screen my Uber's going to be here in 2 minutes so I'll see you there let me give you a tiny sample of what I heard about methylene blue it supercharges our brain's energy our memory our focus our cognitive performance and it doesn't just sharpen short and long-term memory it also balances out your neurotransmitters it can reduce depression and anxiety which makes it a hugely powerful mood stabilizer and it Shields our cells from something called oxidative stress which is the cause of disease and it promotes overall health and life longevity while it also boosts mitochondrial efficiency to increase our energy levels but it didn't stop there methylene blue crosses the bloodb brain barrier to give massive support to your neurons it's like nothing I've ever seen before and it's proven to protect against neurodegenerative conditions like mesial temporal sclerosis and I always thought that if something could save my life I would hear about it from a doctor or it would be extremely popular methylene blue isn't sexy it's not expensive and the patent on this stuff expired a long time ago so it's easy to make and it's able to make a a money for the factories that make it but the big companies not so much and I realized the doctors that I've been talking to aren't lying they just don't get education on this stuff which is seriously well reviewed and well documented for like over a 100 years it was all too good to be true and then it went crazy I listened to Dr John talk about melatonin in doses of 200 mg I genuinely thought melatonin was a 2 mgram little pill that you get at the drugstore for sleeping man was I wrong I had no idea it's a sleep aid it regulates sleep weake cycles it's an insanely powerful antioxidant it's a huge immune system booster that makes us fight infections but it even helps battle chronic diseases it reduces inflammation all over the body which is the root of almost all disease and it can boost your mood and reduce anxiety and it can help with managing serious pain even helping with brain repair repairing a human brain and on top of all of this taking high doses of melatonin doesn't change how your body makes its own melatonin there's no crash there's no rebound and what I just described about melatonin is like 3% of what it's capable of doing I tried the Melatonin it was a suppository uh because taking it orally means the liver is going to destroy almost all of it in something that we call the the first pass effect the next day I woke up feeling better than when I was in my 20s and my mind and memory were perfect and I thought it was a fluke until about 3 weeks went by and I went from nine seizures a day to zero zero my kids were going to have a father and I shared this with people with severe brain disease and dementia fibromyalgia and amalo dois I'm not a doctor but it seems to be radically helping people and everybody that I've talked to about this has come back and told me their doctors have never seen recoveries like this before and the Brain absolutely can rewire itself which is exactly what I needed and I did my first therapeutic psychedelic experience in California where it's legal I ingested about 4 G of psilocybin mushrooms and I had the most spiritual experience of my entire life and within 45 minutes I swear to you I could feel the neurons wiring themselves back together where the damage was and the other most important thing I learned about was something called beetroot powder it improves blood flow it's high in stuff called nitrites which our body converts down into nitric oxide and helps our blood flow all over our body including the brain and beets are packed with antioxidants and one of them is called betalin and these help protect brain cells from oxidative stress that we talked about so all throughout this journey I poured through thousands of research papers and scientific data and I found one thing all the time that seriously shook me up the further a creature is removed from their natural environment the more they suffer disease and this isn't just humans it's all creatures as a behavioral expert I started to understand this in a profound way that shook me to my core our ancestors passed down a lot to us fears and instincts behavioral patterns wisdom and lots of neurological wiring to Keep Us Alive and I realized that the lower part of our brain is like an ancestor living inside of us and when we spend time in nature that part of the brain starts thriving like crazy it's like an ancestor is there in your head and showing them a bunch of shopping malls and freeways is really confusing to them they don't know what that is and this is the way that I look at it anyway we don't thrive in nature we are nature we're not meant to be away from it for long if ever and this is why disease is so prevalent in people who don't spend a lot of time in nature disease thrives in artificial environments whether you're a whale living in captivity or a human in a city this will be a whole different video coming soon but let me sum it up for you distance from descendants is disease when we become disconnected from Our Roots Our Heritage and the natural ways of life that our ancestors would recognize it leads to various forms of illness and dysfunction physical and psychological so I was all in and Michelle was all in too we wanted our kids to have non-stop exposure to Nature we sold our house immediately and we moved into this no more faking it no more brain disease at least so far it's been 9 months if you're wanting a few details about what I'm doing I'm going to add a ton of research for you down in the description and a link to Dr John's YouTube videos that seriously changed my life and if you can get your fingers is ready I'm going to put my full neurology protocol on the screen right here so you can screenshot the whole thing in 3 2 1 [Music] now so it's been 9 months so far things look very promising and I think I found a way to actually save my brain if I had taken that first prescription not a single neuron would have been healed no damage would have been repaired and there was no way to tell if my brain would continue to just fail and fall apart none of this is medical advice I'm not a doctor but I hope this might enable you to possibly change someone's life that you know my brain might go back I might go right back to seizures any day it's possible I imagine and I might forget who I am and who my family is but for the meantime I genuinely believe that we have found a miracle and this is what I'm calling it it it is a miracle and this means we can all be a miracle for somebody in some way the universe isn't out there you are part of it the molecules that make up your body have been here for millions of years our lives are insanely short and nobody really knows the meaning of life or why we're even here for sure and I've been on nine deployments I've seen the worst the world has to offer and with my tiny peephole view of of life I can tell you that there is no benefit to pessimism pessimism and judgment are more toxic than almost anything you can think of but let me leave you with one of the most important lessons I've ever learned in my life and this is to choose to live with compassion and Relentless curiosity and if you subscribe I promise you'll enjoy the videos we have coming up thank you for joining me and I hope this video has saved somebody going through ner NE degenerative disease or brain disease or all kinds of different diseases and I hope you will use it to talk to your doctor and save somebody's life as always we Rise by lifting others thanks for joining me in this video and thanks for supporting me take care
