Realfoodology - 52: Why the One Size Fits All Medical Model Does NOT Work with Dr. Bradley Campbell PT. 2

Starting point is 00:00:00 On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Medicine works slowly and it takes a, science takes a long time. So I've said the whole time, I've said the logic is fast, science is slow. Science takes a long time to know what these long-term effects are. And since they actually stopped the trial at six months, they unblinded the trial and gave all the placebo group the vaccine means that we don't really have any long-term control group to say what's happening with these vaccines. Hey, welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology Podcast. I am your host, Courtney Swan. This is part two of my two-part series that I have with Dr. Bradley Campbell. So if you're listening and you have not listened to part one yet, go back and listen to part one and then come back and listen to this one. Hope you

Starting point is 00:00:49 enjoy. So we, we mentioned a little bit about, uh, some people getting injured from the vaccines. And I want to talk about this because, uh, this is not being talked about a lot in mainstream media. I personally have three stories of people that I know that have been injured. I have a girlfriend who is 30 years old, and she also gave me the permission to tell her story, but she's 30 years old, very healthy, had already gotten COVID, and she felt very pressured into getting the vaccine, even though it was against her best judgment. Like she told me through and through, vaccine, even though it was against her best judgment. Like she she told me through and through. She was like, it was against everything I believed in.

Starting point is 00:01:28 I really didn't want to do it. Her grandfather is in hospice right now and he basically raised her. And she was like, I'm you know, I'd be kicking myself if I couldn't say goodbye to him because he's on his last leg and they were not going to allow her in unless if she was vaccinated. She got her first dose and she got pericarditis, which is inflammation of the sac around the heart. And this is not an isolated case. This is not like a, oh, it's like, you know, this only happened to her. We're seeing tons of cases of pericarditis, myocarditis. Her cardiologist literally told her, you cannot get that second dose because you may not survive it. Imagine having a metabolic coach in your pocket that you could access at any point,

Did you know that most cookware and appliances are made with forever chemicals? Yes, that means your nonstick pans, your air fryers, your waffle makers, your blender could possibly have PFAS. And yes, even our beloved crockpots and pressure cookers. I have actually been talking about this for so long. Back in 2006, my mom came to my dorm room and made me get rid of all my nonstick pans because she was

Starting point is 00:04:25 concerned about me being exposed to something called Teflon. Teflon is a coating that is used on nonstick pans and a lot of these appliances that I just named. So I've avoided Teflon, nonstick, PFA coated appliances, pots and pans, you name it for a very long time. And the only option for the, for a very long time was just stainless steel pots and pans, you name it, for a very long time. And the only option for a very long time was just stainless steel pots and pans. So I was really excited when a company like Our Place came out because they started creating really beautiful cookware and appliances that are like pieces of art. Every appliance that I have from Our Place, I legit want to store it on the counter. And I'm the type of person that does not want anything on my counter because I like it to look really just clean and minimal. But I'm so obsessed

Starting point is 00:05:09 with all the our place products that I have so many of them displayed on my counter because they are legit pieces of art. Our place is a mission driven and female founded brand that makes beautiful kitchen products that are healthy and sustainable. Other products are made without PFAS, which are the forever chemicals and also made without PTFE, which is Teflon. If a company is not outwardly stating that they don't use these chemicals, then if they are using nonstick coating on their appliances, they are absolutely using forever chemicals. And there's been increasing global scrutiny for their impact on the environment and our health. And recognizing this impact, the EU plans to prohibit PFAS by 2025. Our place has always been PFAS free and they offer durable toxin-free ceramic coatings ensuring a healthy

Starting point is 00:05:50 safe cooking experience and let me tell you you guys they are changing the game with non-toxic appliances. They have a blender, they have an air fryer, they have a crock pot, not to mention their amazing always pan. They have a perfect pot, which is just the perfect size for soups. And they also just came out with a cast iron that I'm loving as well. And I more recently replaced all of the bowls and plates in my kitchen because I really needed an upgrade. My other ones were so old. So I got some from our place and they are so beautiful. The ceramics are beautiful. The colors are amazing. Like I said, everything is like a piece of art.

And she was in and out of the ER for a month. She's still dealing with the side effects of it now. Thank God she's okay. But she could be dealing with the side effects from that for the rest of her life. And this is someone that would not have otherwise gotten vaccinated, really didn't want to do it, but felt super pressured. And this story is not isolated.

Starting point is 00:07:03 I mean, I have another girlfriend whose mom had to have major heart surgery from her second dose and almost died. Thank God she survived. She survived the surgery. But these are not isolated events. These are happening a lot. And I don't say this to scare people, but I say this because we can't just treat these vaccines like they are one size fits all. Like everyone is so complex and we're so bio-individual that we can't ignore the fact that some people could be severely injured by the vaccine. Right. Yeah, we've lost informed consent when we lost liability for the vaccines. So March 2020, Congress passed an amendment that basically allowed for all liability to be removed from the vaccine companies and from doctors and people who

Starting point is 00:07:55 are giving the vaccines, which then means they no longer need to give informed consent, which means you don't need to be told the risks and benefits of a vaccine. And in order to truly have informed consent, which means you have body autonomy, my body, my choice, means that you need to know what the choice is and what the risks and benefit of those choices are. And never do people get the ingredient list. Never do they explain what polyethylene glycol, ethylene oxide, polysorbate 80, hydroxyethyl mercapturic acid is. They don't know what those words are. Probably 0.1% of our listeners know what those words are, but they're extremely important to Google to look up, to look up, are they carcinogenic? Are they reproductive fetal toxins?

Starting point is 00:08:39 All those things are very important. The first reason I got censored in February or March was because we had a patient who came in with normal blood labs that we run every year on most of our patients. And we do really extensive plaque risk markers and inflammatory markers. And they had a similar type of thing happening. It was one of the 16% of women that have the lymphadenopathy, basically lymph swelling in their breast tissue or in their armpit after the vaccine. So 16% of women have that happen. She was one of those. She had a pretty severe reaction to her first dose for about two days, two and a half days.

Starting point is 00:09:17 But she came in a week after her first vaccine dose. And her blood work was so abnormal that the lab called us and said, like, I think this person needs to be either hospitalized or like you need to call them right away. Like what the heck is going on? Because we didn't actually even know. It was just drawing her blood early in the morning. We didn't know that she had had this vaccine. We thought maybe she was really sick or had a viral or bacterial infection because her plaque risk markers were through the roof. Her heart pumping stress was high. Her PLA2 and lipoprotein PLA2, that one, her myeloperoxidase, her HSCRP, her homocysteine, her liver enzymes, her gallbladder enzymes, her white blood cells, they were all extremely abnormal, sometimes 30 to 32 times higher than normal with inflammatory

Starting point is 00:09:56 numbers. So we were like, that's really not good. Because once we found out it was, she had had the vaccine, but at that point when we drew her blood, felt fine again it's an example of people feeling fine but there being invisible processes that are causing them harm beneath the surface kind of like you can eat mcdonald's for three meals a day and you feel fine you look healthy you're not gaining weight always but you're not the healthiest so we're like that's a really bad sign so let's do some more research and we started doing blood work on people before and after they got their vaccines lo and behold every adult that we've tested has had abnormal inflammatory changes one to seven days after their first or second dose of the vaccines and there's another doctor who found over 50 of people were having elevated d-dimers which means that they're forming clots

Starting point is 00:10:40 of some sort whether they're aware of it or not so it's one of those things it's like these injuries are happening to the majority of adults when they're, and when they're saying like these, these immune reactions, that this feeling bad means that it's working. It does mean that you're having an immune inflammatory response. It does mean the vaccine is working, but it also means that that inflammation could be causing future problems for your cardiovascular or immune or other systems in your body. And we just won't know what those long-term effects are for years to decades. But what we do know is that this is the most deadly vaccine that has ever existed in human history. Based on the adverse events, there's over half a million reported events, serious events in the United States alone.

Starting point is 00:11:22 So we need to not ignore the suffering of these patients. There's lots of research showing the vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. We know what the risk factors are starting to become for these things. So it's not okay to mandate people coming in or out of your business, in and out of your life, based on whether you had a vaccine or not, because they often, as you said, these people who don't want the vaccines, they're usually traumatized by past vaccines. Their kid almost died from a vaccine. Their family member did die from a vaccine.

Starting point is 00:11:50 They got injured by a vaccine. It's like you wouldn't ask someone if they've been raped before. You wouldn't ask them if they've had herpes or genital herpes before. So it's like stop asking them why they're not getting the vaccine because it could be a very personal private health issue. When people have vaccine injured children, they often break down in my office crying why they're not getting the vaccine, because it could be a very personal private health issue. When people have vaccine injured children, they often break down in my office crying about how they've lost friends, they've been kicked out of groups. It's a very tough thing for these families, for these people. And it's not okay to exclude them because they've been injured

Starting point is 00:12:18 by the people they thought were saving them. Do you want to hear the biggest discovery of our time for promoting healthy aging? Of course you do, because all of us are concerned about aging. There is a class of ingredients called senolytics that were discovered less than 10 years ago, and they are being called the biggest discovery of our time for promoting healthy aging and enhancing your physical prime. Now, when I'm talking about aging here, I'm not just talking about on a superficial level, wrinkles and saggy skin. I'm talking about energy, joint pain, your ability to show up for your life, cognitive function. I'm talking about the real effects of cellular aging on the body and what it does to our body as we age.

Starting point is 00:12:59 Now, as we age, everyone accumulates something called senescent cells in their body. They cause symptoms of aging, such as aches and discomfort, slow workout recoveries, sluggish mental and physical energy associated with that middle age feeling. They're also known as zombie cells. They're old and worn out and not serving a useful function for our health anymore, but they're taking up space and nutrients from our healthy cells. Much like pruning the yellowing and dead leaves off of a plant, qualia senolytic removes those worn out senescent cells to allow for the rest of them to thrive in the body. like pruning the yellowing and dead leaves off of a plant qualia senolytic removes those worn

Starting point is 00:13:25 out senescent cells to allow for the rest of them to thrive in the body and you just take these supplements two days a month that's right just two days a month qualia senolytic is an amazing product that helps to remove these senescent cells and if you want to hear more about the product and more about these senescent cells that affect aging, go back to the episode that I did with Dr. Greg Kelly of neurohacker. So you can dive more into the details of all of it. But the formula that I'm talking about qualia senolytic is non GMO it's vegan, it's gluten free, and the ingredients are meant to complement one another factoring in the combined effect of all the ingredients together. If for some reason you don't like the product, you're not feeling the effects of it. It also has a 100 day money back guarantee. If you want to resist aging at the cellular level,

Organifi now has kid stuff. They just released two kid products.

Starting point is 00:14:38 One is called Easy Greens, and it's a refreshing green apple juice where kids will never know that it's packed with veggies. And the other one is called Protect. It's a delicious wild berry punch like the Kool-Aid that we used to have as a kid, but without any sugar. This is really exciting. And if you've listened to the podcast for a while, you know that I'm a huge fan of Organifi and most specifically because every single product that they make is glyphosate residue free. So you know that you're going to be able to give these powders to your kids and know that they will be able to consume them safely without any glyphosate in it. So let's break down each one. The Easy Greens is a nourishing and delicious blend of superfoods and veggies that

Starting point is 00:15:13 provides essential nutrients, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to bring balance to kids' growing bodies without fillers, additives, or junk. It helps to fill in nutritional gaps, aids in growth and development, supports digestive health, has a rich micronutrient profile, and includes digestive enzymes. This would be a great way to sneak in greens for your little one without them actually knowing that it's healthy for them. And the second one, which is the wild berry punch similar to Kool-Aid, is called Protect. And it is to support your child's daily immune health with food-derived nutrients that work to strengthen their body's first line of defense. I know just through girlfriends of mine that have children that when your kids are going to school, going to daycare, they're coming home sick a lot more often just because they're getting exposed to different kids and different viruses when they're

Starting point is 00:15:57 out in the world playing with kids. So this would be a great way to help to support your little one's immune health. It's organic and it's also made with real whole food ingredients. It has a delicious berry taste and it's low sugar and it's gentle enough for kids to take every single day. And I really love the ingredients in this one. It's orange and acerol cherry, which is a powerful source of vitamin C and antioxidants, astragalus, elderberry, and propolis. These are all really great for overall immune health.

Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's, oh my God. No, that was, oh, I loved it. No, it was, it was great. Um, but you're, you're spot on. Um, we're discounting the fact that people have their own stories. I actually, I mean, I literally just talked about this on my Instagram yesterday. Like I have my own story, um, that I'm not going to share just for my parents sake and privacy. But yeah, like there's a reason that I feel so passionately about this, because it has personally affected me in one way. And so we're, we're gaslighting people out of their own experience. And it's very frustrating. And now we're mandating or, you know, we have friends and family saying, like, I won't out with you. I won't see you if you don't have this shot. Or now, you know, we're seeing in like New York and LA that they're not going to let you go into a restaurant or a bar without proof of this vaccination. And it's like, we're completely excluding an entire portion of our population that, yeah, that doesn't want to get this for very, very viable reasons. Like we have, like you said, on VAERS, you can go and look like out of every single vaccine that we've ever had

Starting point is 00:17:53 in the history of vaccines, this one has injured more people. This one alone has injured more people than each individual other vaccine that we've had collectively. And we can't ignore that. And then also, like you said, we don't, we do not know what the long-term effects of this are. So if there is anyone that you listen to right now, doctor, scientists, whatever it is that they're like, oh, we know a hundred percent that it's safe. They're literally lying. I don't think they're meaning to, but they are lying because we don't know. There is nothing that will ever replace time, ever. And we're going to know in five to 10 years how this is really affecting people. Right. And it's not like this is some new thing. This

Starting point is 00:18:38 has been going on for decades. You just have to look back through the history of the pharmaceutical industry, whether it's tobacco, whether it's Roundup, whether it's DES, which is diethylstilbestrol, which caused miscarriages. It was basically a drug, a synthetic estrogen that was used to help miscarriage, but it led the women to be able to have children, but their children and their children's children could not get pregnant. It led two generations afterwards to be infertile. So it's like, we really don't know. And it could, it's just time. We need time. We need decades to truly know what anything, any chemical, any intervention is doing to us long term. And even when we found out that diethylstobastrol was causing these problems,

Starting point is 00:19:23 it still took nine to 13 years to get pulled off the market. So like medicine works slowly. Science takes a long time, which is why I've said the whole time I've said the logic is fast, science is slow. Science takes a long time to know what these long-term effects are. And since they actually stopped the trial at six months, they unblinded the trial and gave all the placebo group the vaccine, means that we don't really have any long-term control group to say what's happening with these vaccines. Yeah. Well, and not to mention, let's just talk about, we are completely leaving out of the conversation, everyone that's already had COVID and all of the research that's coming out

Starting point is 00:20:02 right now showing that if you've already had COVID, your ability to fight it off again and the antibodies are supposedly, according to all the studies and science that are coming out right now, they think they last for a lifetime. So now we're forcing people that have already had COVID to then go and risk being injured by a vaccine when they already have the antibodies that we're so concerned about. So if this was really about our health and protecting people, then we would say like, either show your proof of vaccination to get into this bar or like show that you have the antibodies and that you've already been exposed. And even then to me, I'm like, okay, well, I feel like everyone, if you are truly concerned or immunocompromised, then just stay home. And I know that that's very controversial to say, but at the very least, why are we not at least acknowledging the people that have already been through COVID and then have antibodies and allow them to also participate if we're going to do this, like show your papers kind of deal? I think that'll be a good lead into talking about Sweden after this,

Starting point is 00:21:12 but like the keeping people at home. But I think it's really important. Well, one point I think I wouldn't say is that like you don't necessarily have antibodies for life, but you can create because the antibodies have about a half-life of three months where they drop in half. So they will get to a level that's very low or nearly non-detectable over time. But you have B memory and T memory immune cells that can remember the infection forever. In the US, there's a test t-detect.com. You can order for yourself to see if you've ever had COVID-19. So if you've had symptomatic COVID-19 at any time, you will have T cells show positive on that test, like 99% likely. So that's a really useful test to tell you if you've had any COVID infection, because your T cells and your bone marrow cells will last for a lifetime, like you said. So the antibodies might not, even like testing someone's

Starting point is 00:21:56 antibodies might not be a foolproof way, but if they have T cells, if they've ever had a past positive antibody test, they, from a natural infection, they should be protected at least to some extent for life. And not just from a specific antibody from the vaccine, but nonspecific broad immune protection. So they should have some form of defense and protection for a lifetime. And let's explain this for people that don't understand. And I'm trying to understand this too. So with T cell memory, that means that, um, even if you don't necessarily have the antibodies, it's programmed in your body already how to fight it off. Is that right? Okay. Correct. And you can remake antibodies at a future point in time when needed. And of course we're, I mean, this is barely being

Starting point is 00:22:41 talked about at all. We're just pushing the vaccine. It's very clear, very obvious science, but it doesn't go with the fear based narrative that is propagating through our media. Yeah. Yeah. OK, so let's talk about Sweden because no one's talking about Sweden. Yeah. So Sweden was like the laughingstock of the international community. And now they've made the international community the laughingstock instead. It's kind of like the places that didn't lock down were doing just as well as everywhere else. It's kind of like Sweden sort, but strongly suggest more restrictions. But without those extreme mandates, they're doing just as well as anywhere else now.

Starting point is 00:23:35 And they're not having this tough problem that American other countries are having. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I have personally, I have a lot of friends that live in Sweden, because I worked for a Swedish pop star for four years, and I spent a lot of time over there. And just throughout the last year and a half, I've been checking in with a lot of them, because, you know, you never know what you hear in the media versus what is actually happening. And yeah, they have lived life as normal the last year and a half. And of course, they lost people. The majority of people that they lost were elderly. And it's very sad.

Starting point is 00:24:10 It's not to disregard those lives lost. But it's not a reason to completely shut down our economy and our life. Because unfortunately, death happens. And that's a part of life. It is. It's like, you know, it's a harsh reality, but it's true. I have a sign in my kitchen up there with, like, a little happy rainbow that literally says, we're all going to die. And it's like an – it's a daily existential reminder that, like, memento mori, remember death. It's like, if you remember death, it helps put life in

Starting point is 00:24:45 perspective and helps you value what you have and be grateful for just the fact that you're still alive, which is great. I had a patient who was dying from ALS, which is like a crippling neurologic disease. And he had about a year or two left to live. And when he found out he was dying, the meaning of life for him, what he said was dying the meaning of life for him what he said was that the meaning of life was the balance between love and time and death made that clear and he said love without time is a tragedy and time without love is a prison wow yeah and so that's what i think about i think about that quote every day i think about death every day and it helps me stay in Wow. Yeah, that's beautiful. I mean, this last year has really more than anything, um, made people realize that. Yeah. I mean, I think we've been faced with death in a

Starting point is 00:25:54 way that we never have before. And many people are grappling with their, um, yeah, with their life right now. I'm, I'm blanking on the word I'm trying to use right now, but I feel like you understand what I'm trying to say. And, um, yeah, it's sad. And it's also why people are really scared. And, um, it's like, we're being faced with death head on, but also what I keep reminding myself on a daily basis. And maybe this is a little morbid for some people to understand, but like, I could walk out my front door right now and get hit by a car, you know? And so like, but that's not going to keep me from walking out my front door. And I think that's what we need to remember is that, yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:30 So now add COVID on the list of things that are trying to kill us on a daily basis. And sorry to laugh about it, but it's true, you know? And so like we need to be less focused on that and more focused on enjoying the time that we have here on Earth because it's not forever. Yeah. Most people, it's like that quote, most people are not afraid of death. They're afraid of a life not lived. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:00 And the question becomes, is this really just one or two more months with Delta variant? It seems like it's going to be at least another couple of years. So are you willing to not live a full life for the next three to five years or five decades? So the question becomes, what level of risk will you accept so that you can live a life fully so you can't, are no longer afraid of death? Yeah. Yeah. I think we need to remember that. So I want to take a little bit of detour because I think this is also really important to talk about right now because everyone is freaking out about this at the moment. I want to look at kids and their relative risk for all of this, because what we do know is that we're seeing such a high

Starting point is 00:27:43 incidence of myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart in young men specifically, that the World Health Organization actually released a statement. Was it two months ago or something saying that we should no longer be vaccinating that age group? But we have just been forging ahead anyways with it because that barely got any sort of mainstream media attention whatsoever. And I think we need to talk about this because there's a lot of fear right now around children. And I, I personally in like friend groups have been hearing, oh, well, you know, so-and-so, um, said that, you know, you can't come over or someone can't come over or whatever, because they're concerned about their kid and you're unvaccinated or whatever it is. And the parents are so concerned about it. So let's talk about the actual science behind like our kids as susceptibles were being told in mainstream media.

Starting point is 00:28:36 So I have data on this I can send you. But basically, there's a pediatrician who's not pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine, whose child was hospitalized from COVID in October. So it's kind of become sort of something she's very concerned about. And she's saying that when she looks at the actual data, not just the news headlines, right? You have to look past the news, the instant tweet reaction or the instant headline reaction into the data that there was a 20 to 30 percent increase in children catching COVID, but basically a negligible increase in children dying from the Delta variant. So she's saying, yes, it's a little more contagious. Kids can maybe catch it now, but it's a little bit more than they could before. They're still usually asymptomatic and it's usually not more deadly for them so it's fascinating to look at her

Starting point is 00:29:31 data and have that like everyone's story of like where the doctor is coming from or where this statistician is coming from is important and hers is very i think um truthful and forthright and very fair to both sides. But yeah, I think when people are not inviting kids over, that's coming from a place of illogical understanding of the medical science. Yeah. If anything, you should invite over the people who had COVID and are now less likely to catch it than someone who is vaccinated where the Delta and then the Delta plus and the Lambda variant are going to be even more breakthrough cases will be happening because they're going to be less susceptible to the vaccine.

Starting point is 00:30:15 The vaccine will become less effective as the more variants come, kind of like last year's flu shot. So it doesn't make sense to stop kids coming over when essentially the COVID vaccine is like last year's flu shot. It's like not going to help with what's going on now so if anything it's meant to really help I believe like I think parents are trying to do their best to not let their kids get sick or not their kids get sick and spread it to somebody else but we have to stop guilting people for spreading something that they don't know they have yeah in no way is that your fault for spreading something that they don't know they have. Yeah. In no way is that your fault for spreading it to your friend, your grandma, your parents.

Starting point is 00:30:50 Like maybe it's your fault if you went to a party with someone where there were five people who were sick and you're living really dangerously and didn't tell people that you're living a life where you're trying to catch COVID. But if you're trying to catch COVID and then you're hanging out with grandma, that could be bad, right? But for the most part, most people are not intentionally just like living completely foolishly. So I think as long as you're not like, um, this choosing to not disclose that information, as long as you're not aware that you have COVID, it should not be your fault. You

Starting point is 00:31:21 should not be guilted or ashamed or left out for not knowing that you have a virus. Like the fact that we're starting to actually tell people that they're a bad person for spreading a germ they don't even know they had and they were trying not to get in the first place is super harmful to people's mental health. Yeah. I mean, when in the history of time have we ever done this? You know, about I mean the flu has been around forever I mean since we've been alive and it's so funny we there was never a like smear campaign if you got like remember in college there was a couple times that I got the flu and who knows probably got it from a classmate or a friend or whatever and it wasn't like that this person was a bad person because they gave me the flu I and, but now all of a sudden it's become this like

Starting point is 00:32:05 moral thing, like right and wrong. And you're a horrible, horrible person. If you happen to like get someone else sick, of course, no one goes out wanting to get anyone else sick, you know? And yeah, just the, the logics behind all of this. It's just like, we're, we're thinking from our fear brains now, instead of thinking logically about all of this. And we need to just, we need to take some of the emotion out of it and just look at the straight facts and actually be, um, more rational about all of this and about what's going on. And also we need to take note of too, that like, this is all unfolding in front of us in time. Like no one really knows the answers. We're trying to navigate this the best way that we can. And we should all be on each other's team trying to help each other instead of like fighting over little things like, you know, who's vax and who's not. And

Starting point is 00:32:55 like, we should all be on the same team. We're all, we're all fighting this and trying to get through it together. Correct. Yeah. We need more unity and love now more than ever. Yeah, really seriously. And just compassion for the fact that we're all going through a collective trauma right now. And it's scary and sad. There's a lot of lives that have been lost and a lot of unknowns and, um, yeah, it's horrible, but we need to be navigating this from a place of love. I agree. It's all about like love, compassion and forgiveness and acceptance. Yeah. So I know this is something that you have been doing in your practice. You mentioned it earlier. I want to hear, um, if you're okay to share a little bit about what you've been seeing

Starting point is 00:33:44 in post-vaxxed patients, because I know you've talked about this on your Instagram. This is something that you've been doing in your practice where you've been doing lab work afterwards and kind of monitoring and seeing what's happened. I know I've just heard and I've read that there's a lot of concern about autoimmune disorders either being developed or autoimmune flare-ups. Like, for example, if someone has Hashimoto's and they kind of had it contained, I've heard a couple stories now of people getting the shot and then just flaring up all of their autoimmune stuff after. Can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah. So I've been seeing most people who have

Starting point is 00:34:23 autoimmune conditions do really well with COVID and really like not react much to the vaccine, or at least not be aware they're reacting much to the vaccine, as we talked about before. But there are people who are developing new autoimmune conditions after COVID and after the COVID-19 vaccine. Like the long hauler thing is a pretty, there's a lot of people getting long haulers after catching COVID, like 10 to 30% will have issues after COVID-19 for two to six months. Most everybody gets better after the time, but it is like a post viral fatigue and a lot of long hauler issues that people are dealing with. And after the vaccine, we're seeing similar to things to long haulers, we're seeing some new

Starting point is 00:35:01 autoimmune conditions, where I've seen, um, MS, pseudo MS type issues, lesions in people's brains and spinal cords. A couple of times we've been treating people for that. Luckily they've all gotten better actually, which is miraculous. And, um, we're also seeing some people, just a lot of heart issues and a lot of neurologic issues afterwards. So a lot of weird like spasms or seizures or strange smells or taste or pseudo MS type neurologic conditions. Interesting. And we don't really know why that's happening. Like the heart thing, we have some idea, but the neurologic system, we're not entirely sure why those post reactions like the Bell's, a lot of Bell's palsy, a lot of shingles. Like

Starting point is 00:35:44 we're not entirely sure why that's happening, except for the fact that sometimes when you vaccinate to protect against one virus, another virus will like pop out, kind of like the bully phenomenon you threw a new bully in the classroom and another one pops out, another kid pops out who kind of runs away scared. Like that's why sometimes they think that Bell's palsy or shingles can happen. They found that in past vaccines where they'll vaccinate for one germ and other germs will actually be shed out of the person.

Starting point is 00:36:11 They'll actually like release particles from other germs after they've been vaccinated for a different one. Interesting. Is that kind of in alignment with immune escape? Because I know that that's been being talked about as well. Or is that different? That's different. So the immune escape or immune enhancement or disease enhancement really is basically a process where the vaccine can make you either more likely to react, have an overreaction or an underreaction to future mutations or variants of the original germ.

Starting point is 00:36:46 So you could get vaccinated against COVID-19. My audio just cut. You get vaccinated against COVID-19. I got an audio here. But you could get vaccinated against COVID-19, and you could either have, when you have another infection later, you could have an overreaction where you get really sick and have a really bad inflammatory cascade response, or you could have an underreaction where you get really sick and have a really bad inflammatory cascade response or you could have an underreaction

Starting point is 00:37:08 similar to antibody dependent enhancement where your body doesn't get rid of all of it or it doesn't kill it it just then can actually shuttle the virus into the cell which then replicates more kind of like a trojan horse into your cell that's what antibody dependent enhancement usually is and then that can cause your body to not respond at all. And then the virus can replicate without any sort of control and that can cause worse disease states as well. That's scary. And we're not talking about that at all. We're just forging ahead and trying to force it on everyone. And yeah, I just, it's infuriating. For people listening, I always like to give some hope and, and some recommendations that people can, can take away from all of this. And one of the biggest things that I've been trying to reiterate this last year is how to

Starting point is 00:38:00 become resilient and how to protect your immune system. So can we talk about a little bit? Also, I do want to give a disclaimer. This is not medical advice. We're not saying do or take any of these. These are just things that I've seen work and I'm sure that you've seen in your practice. So can we talk a little bit about what people can do to enhance their immune system? Yeah, I think biggest thing is lifestyle more than anything. Sleeping seven, eight, nine hours a night, at least six. Getting 20 minutes or more movement a day, natural sunlight, or taking some vitamin D3, ideally with K2. Vitamin C, zinc, quercetin, and N-acetylcysteine are quite good as well if you're not allergic

Starting point is 00:38:48 to quercetin. So that works really well for most people. Some people are allergic to quercetin. Sorry, I did not know that some people were allergic to quercetin. It's good to know. Can we talk about what that is for people listening that don't know? Yeah, quercetin is a bioflavonoid similar to like vitamin C. It's an antioxidant that's in a bunch of different plants, fruits, vegetables. And it's really helpful. It's actually in like red wine and onions and green tea, apples, berries, ginkgo biloba. It's in a lot of different things. But the isolated bioflavonoid is really helpful for allergies. It's really helpful for inflammation in your blood vessels and your lungs as well and your sinuses. So it's just a really useful plant compound that's pretty much safe to take daily for a long period of time. And it helps control inflammation and it helps control histamine release in your cells. It's also a zinc ionifer, which means that it pushes zinc through past the cell wall so that it can actually get to the virus. Yes. Yep. Also very important. I forgot that's like the most important one. That's why I'm here. It's good. We're working together.

Starting point is 00:39:58 Yeah. So it really, it helps the zinc actually fight off any sort of like virus that you're dealing with. Okay. COVID. Yeah. Yeah. Makes zinc actually work better. sort of like virus that you're dealing with. Okay. COVID. Yeah. Yeah. Makes zinc actually work better. Kind of like vitamin D makes your thyroid work better and gets thyroid into the cell to work as well. Yeah. Which is why people in the winter, not getting sunshine and sunlight start to get low thyroid, low adrenal, low fatigue, those seasonal affective disorders. Yeah. I know. That's why I always, well, I live in LA, so I don't really ever have an issue with sun. But when I was living in other places where I was, I was upping my vitamin D every single day. But yeah, I mean, this is something that I prioritize every single day. I make sure that I get at least 20 minutes of sunlight with no

Starting point is 00:40:41 sunscreen on. I always put sunscreen on my face just because I want to protect my face. But I get at least 20 minutes a day with no sunscreen on. I always put sunscreen on my face just because I want to protect my face, but, um, I get at least 20 minutes a day with no sunscreen on because if you wear sunscreen, it actually blocks your body's ability to synthesize vitamin D from the sun. And vitamin D is incredibly important, not only for immune health, but also for our mood as well. Yep. Super important. There's a lot of times where I'll give vitamin D to patients and they're like, I instantly feel happier. And you're like, well, well, just liquid sunshine happiness. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I have a girlfriend that I was texting with the other day and she's been having a really hard time and I sent her a message and I said, all right, I'm giving you a prescription right now. And I'm saying, go put on your bikini, go lay out in the sun for an hour and then text me.

Starting point is 00:41:24 And an hour later she goes, oh my God, I'm going to do this every single day. She goes, everything changed. I feel so much better. I was like, see, sometimes it's all you need. So true. Yeah. Um, so before we end this, is there anything else that we haven't talked about that you feel is really important for people to hear? I don't think so. Just remember to stay positive. Oh, I do know one. I'll plug my website, which is healthassurancemovement.org. It's completely free. It's my nonprofit. It's a way you can start to take some health quizzes for your adrenal, your thyroid, your liver. There's a bunch of these resources up that we talked about on there too. And a whole bunch of other resources. There's a thousand page book on there that a doctor now will find released for free just for us, for a nonprofit. There's a hundred page paper talking

Starting point is 00:42:13 about all of the COVID research we're talking about on there for free as well that he's spent his career, his last two years researching and putting out for 20 bucks. It's now free. So there's a lot of free stuff, ways of self-care and taking care of yourself. And I would remind people just to take care of themselves more than ever. But when they're having these conversations that we're having right now, it's most important, whether it's with your employer or a school or a friend or family member, it's most important to try to have them in person, not via text, not even via a phone call, because 90% of communication is your facial micro expressions. So at least a video chat or an in-person conversation when you're trying to have

Starting point is 00:42:50 these discussions, if at all possible, whether it's about parties or weddings or any of this stuff, is really important because you will be dehumanized by the other person and projected their own problems onto you if you do not have these conversations in person. So please have them in person. It'll be easier. It'll be easier to relate to their person, hear their stories, listen to them, have more curiosity, and it'll be easier to love them during that conversation as well. Yeah. Oh, that's so important. That's such a good reminder for all of us. Okay. So before we go, I want to ask you a question that I ask everyone that comes on the podcast. What are your health non-negotiables? So meaning no matter how busy you are that day, these are things that you prioritize for you and for your health that you do every day.

Starting point is 00:43:42 Health non-negotiables. walk my dog on the beach is something I do every day so I like get my feet in Lake Michigan as long as it's not frozen if it is frozen I'm on the ice so I ground myself, walk my dog so I'm moving, grounding and then I really eat every day

Starting point is 00:44:00 if I don't eat I lose like 5 pounds a day so I have a fast metabolism so I just try to eat some sort of healthy meal, at least one healthy meal a day. And yeah, eating, grounding, moving, touching some water, drinking some water. Those are my non-negotiables. I love that. My number one is also getting my dog outside. I go for a hike no matter what, every single day with my dog. Because I get movement, I get sunlight, um, I connect with nature. So there's like a grounding aspect there. Uh, my dog also loves it. So it's like a bonding time for us. And yeah, that would be my most important thing.

Starting point is 00:44:37 So cool. Well, I know you plugged your website, but where can people find you? They're listening if they want to find you. That website has all the links to Telegram where I'm putting a lot of the data I can't put elsewhere. In my opinion, I can't put elsewhere. But the website has Telegram and also Instagram, drbradleycampbell, dr.bradleycampbell, like soup, can find me there. Instagram also on healthassurancemove movement as an Instagram handle. And, um, that should work. You know what? I know I said we were leaving, but I totally forgot to have you talk about this. If you have a second, sure. People that are not aware of your Instagram don't know that you have been deleted. How many times now? Twice, twice at 39,000 and 90,000 followers. This is really important for

Starting point is 00:45:27 people to understand because you, um, especially are, you're very good. Like I said this in the beginning, you're very good at, uh, sharing this information with love and compassion. And you're really just sharing the straight facts. Like it's not, um, you know, fear mongering or like super out there or whatever. It's just like, you're very factual based and with love and compassion. And the fact that you were being censored and you're posting like PubMed articles and things that come from the CDC and the World Health Organization, and you still got censored and deleted. It's so important for people to hear this right now, because I I don't think people understand the gravity of the censorship that's going on right now. Yeah, the censorship is insane. Doctors are not in the U.S. yet. They're about to. But in other

Starting point is 00:46:16 countries, doctors are losing their license for saying anything that goes against the World Health Organization and the CDC. Even when you have a slightly different interpretation or you share research from them, if you're not completely on party line, you can lose your license. You can get deleted off social media. You can get doctors who are getting death threats, people who are like literally cutting the brake lines in their cars and punching holes in their gas tanks, friends of mine. So like there's crazy stuff happening to people just for saying like, take care of your health and there's crazy stuff happening to people just for saying, like, take care of your health. And there's better ways to go about handling the pandemic. So the censorship is real. But I think it also shows if you do show what's truthful, and you show the positive and negatives,

Starting point is 00:46:55 and you're honest about what we know, and we don't know, like my Instagram has gone up to 155, 56,000 people now, It's growing like wildfire. And so it's like they can delete you for a time, but people are still craving truth. They're craving a voice of reason and they're craving something that's showing them the pros and the cons of what's happening. Yeah, yeah. Well, the truth will always prevail.

Starting point is 00:47:19 It's just kind of an uphill battle at the moment. Okay, well, Brad, thank you so much. This has been such an amazing conversation. I'm so glad that we finally connected.
