Mark Hyman

“certain supplements may be helpful with people with insulin resistance and I use them my practice like lipoic acid magnesium chromium berberine vitamin D Omega-3s all really helpful”

“ATP production and utilization is one of those and ATP is the energetic currency of our cells we need to make energy to survive”

“people aren't eating enough of their greens and they're not getting enough magnesium Greens and Beans Greens and Beans oats nuts almonds exactly things that aren't typically Staples of American diet which is 60% Ultra processed food”

“about 50% of the US population does not have adequate levels of magnesium 50% close to 50%”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“you also need a lot of nutrients to metabolize your toxins things like folate zinc selenium magnesium manganes you need all the methylating B vitamins...these are all co-actors that basically power all those detox enzymes that are processing all the toxins”

“it's also essential for DNA repair enzymes they use it to repair damage to our DNA every time we make a new cell whether that's a skin cell or a liver cell or a blood cell”

“if you don't get enough magnesium it's only going to those essential roles of ATP production and not the DNA repair enzymes”

“magnesium as Bruce would say is at the center of a chlorophyll molecule chlorophyll give plants their green color yeah so magnesium is very high in dark leafy greens”

“the magnesium RDA is about 350 to 400”

“about 50% of the US population does not have adequate levels of magnesium 50% close to 50%”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“you also need a lot of nutrients to metabolize your toxins things like folate zinc selenium magnesium manganes you need all the methylating B vitamins...these are all co-actors that basically power all those detox enzymes that are processing all the toxins”

“it's also essential for DNA repair enzymes they use it to repair damage to our DNA every time we make a new cell whether that's a skin cell or a liver cell or a blood cell”

“you look at all your nutritional status right the B vitamins vitamin D vitamin E magnesium zinc copper CoQ10 lipoic acid Omega-3s”

“if you don't get enough magnesium it's only going to those essential roles of ATP production and not the DNA repair enzymes”

“magnesium as Bruce would say is at the center of a chlorophyll molecule chlorophyll give plants their green color yeah so magnesium is very high in dark leafy greens”

“three would be I think other supplementation strategies supplementation like creatine, carnitine, coq10”

“you can supplement with creatine or nutrients like lcarnitine CoQ10 that are integrated into the different mitochondrial cycle...you can make them more efficient”

“all those enzymes require helpers. And all the helpers are vitamins and minerals or other compounds that are used by the body like creatine or carnitine and so forth. There's ways of actually supplementing to optimize mitochondrial function and health.”

“I had I used creatine... So, I would have like 50 grams for breakfast in a protein whey protein shake. I would put in creatine.”

“I see advanced nutritional strategies which we talked about whether it's creatine NAD supplementation vitamin the B vitamins they they all great you know uh vitamin D we didn't talk about that but also has some great effects on mitochondria and immune cells”

“those can only work if you take the bad damaged zombie mitochondria out from the real estate right...you can even potentiate the effects of things like NAD or creatine”

“when I have heart failure patients, I will give them a mitochondrial cocktail of supplements including CoQ10, carnitine, uh, creatine, ribos, lipoic acid, an acetylcysteine, the B vitamins and basically what happens is quite remarkable. They they prove their cardiac function by objective metrics like what we call ejection fraction”

“omega-3 fats wild caught low mercury fatty fish is really important um like sardines mackerel enes and Herring flax seeds are great pasturage eggs can be great sources of Omega-3s”

“vitamin D fish oil vitamin D 4000 fish oil one or two grams of the actual epha a multivitamin and high quality”

“just take a multivitamin fish oil vitamin D magnesium and then you know maybe a broccoli pill yeah then there's a bunch of other things you could add to that list”

“if you're eating you know Donuts all day you can take all the fish oil or vitamin D you want it's not going to do anything to you fix your risk of heart disease right so you have to look at everything together”

“trophic factors are essentially the fuel or the food or the ingredients that the brain needs to function including hormones and the right nutrients and vitamins and and fish oil all kinds of stuff that the brain actually needs to function”

“smokers with a high level of Omega-3 so they had a high omega-3 index of 8% they had the same mortality as non-smokers with a low omega-3 index”

“having a low omega-3 index had the same mortality risk as smoking okay so we're talking about 90% of the American population is in that category”

“people that have high omega-3 index 8% or more have a 5year increased life expectancy compared to people that have a 4% omega-3 index which is low”

“omega-3 fatty acids actually protect from any potential Mercury toxicity in the developing fetus”

“there's been studies looking at children that were born to mothers that had a high level of Omega-3 those children had scored higher on intelligence tests so IQ scores”

“you look at all your nutritional status right the B vitamins vitamin D vitamin E magnesium zinc copper CoQ10 lipoic acid Omega-3s”

“everybody this does not mean you can smoke and take your own fish oil pills don't get any ideas”

“if you're eating you know Donuts all day you can take all the fish oil or vitamin D you want it's not going to do anything to you fix your risk of heart disease right so you have to look at everything together”

“trophic factors are essentially the fuel or the food or the ingredients that the brain needs to function including hormones and the right nutrients and vitamins and and fish oil all kinds of stuff that the brain actually needs to function”

“you look at all your nutritional status right the B vitamins vitamin D vitamin E magnesium zinc copper CoQ10 lipoic acid Omega-3s”

“omega-3 fats wild caught low mercury fatty fish is really important um like sardines mackerel enes and Herring flax seeds are great pasturage eggs can be great sources of Omega-3s”

“the study that just came out about 10 days ago showing if you take the people who are low in vitamin D they have a much worse outcome in covid-19 than the people who have sufficient vitamin D”

“people who are low in vitamin D more likely to get Alzheimer's people who are sufficient vitamin D”

“same thing in multiple sclerosis high vitamin D associated with better outcomes”

“if you want to be a vegetarian no problem make sure to check your homosysteine and your vitamin D and things like that”

“loss of nutrients like vitamin D uh loss of ngf or bdnf brain derived neurotrophic Factor these are all critical for keeping your brain functioning optimally”

“there's type two which is atrophic and these are the people where they have low vitamin D pregnenolone progesterone estradiol testosterone you know on and on the critical supports for this nerve growth factor brain derived neurotrophic Factor B12”

“in Alzheimer's it's more likely to be things like MotoX sins or reduced vitamin D or reduced hormonal support or ngf or bdnf things like that”

“she had initially had a lot of a type two reduced estradiol progesterone no surprise she was 73 reduced vitamin D poor thyroid all those so all those were addressed um she then improved and she actually went from nine so she was in the ninth percentile on her initial cognitive scores she's now at the 97th percentile”

“you look at all your nutritional status right the B vitamins vitamin D vitamin E magnesium zinc copper CoQ10 lipoic acid Omega-3s”

“the beautiful thing about um protein is it's full of other good things like B vitamins amino acids glycine torine cysteine methine all critical”

“I can tell you the best way to lower homoy um is 500 milligrams daily in a capsule form of trimethyl glycine TMG lots of great manufacturers that make it out there I make one symbiotica makes it Thorn pure encapsulations it's not an expensive nutrient if you have hyper homo symia that's a that's a must have supplement”

“you don't want to be eating right before bed because it'll spike your insulin reduce your you know your growth hormone and your and your melatonin and so forth and so on”

“as we get older like our thymus gland it will calcify and will Shel up and you lose melatonin and you lose epithin from the pineal gland”

“my sleep I was on melatonin every year higher and higher higher Doses”

“do you know Epal turns on three genes of your pineal gland to make melatonin and my wife goes how come you're not taking melatonin anymore I like I don't need it I could sleep without it”

“theanine is an amino acid that can be helpful”

“other things can be helpful like theanine Gaba 5htp”

“actively managing your stress is important and not with drugs but things like adaptogens riola ashwagandha Jin sing Siberian Jin sing all can be helpful”

“just as you would have scurvy if you didn't have enough vitamin C”

“making sure your nutrients are okay so you're taking your multivitamin getting your zinc you're getting your cenum you're getting your vitamin C but there are the whole cocktail of things that help support immunity”

“if you don't have enough vitamin C and you're a sailor you get scurvy right”

“quite a bit of people are not getting enough vitamin C something like 30 or 40 40% 40% or something like that I'm not getting enough vitamin C yeah I heard that 10% are deficient the level that would cause scurvy in America that's unbelievable”

“just not eating any ve any vegetables or or fruits because vitamin C is also in vegetables it's not just in fruits”

“As opposed to vitamin C, which”

“you take your vitamin D, you have to have it with some fat, right? As opposed to vitamin C”

“it only takes like 60 milligrams of Vitamin C to cure scurvy which is a deadly disease if you don't have enough vitamin C”

“10% of Americans don't have enough vitamin C to prevent scy which is mindblowing right which because they're eating Ultra processed food and they don't get any green vegetables and they don't get any you know fruit”

“you also need a lot of nutrients to metabolize your toxins things like folate zinc selenium magnesium manganes you need all the methylating B vitamins...these are all co-actors that basically power all those detox enzymes that are processing all the toxins”

“widespread deficient you know Iron zinc selenium a lot of things that iodine I mean it just I see this all the time in our testing my function health and I'm like kind of shocked”

“I think a multivitamin is a really good insurance because you know there's so selenium Boron Boron yeah there's you know the the B vitamins you know you're getting there's vitamin A there's so many different micronutrients and it really covers a lot of the bases”

“you also need a lot of nutrients to metabolize your toxins things like folate zinc selenium magnesium manganes you need all the methylating B vitamins...these are all co-actors that basically power all those detox enzymes that are processing all the toxins”

“widespread deficient you know Iron zinc selenium a lot of things that iodine I mean it just I see this all the time in our testing my function health and I'm like kind of shocked”

“you would find all of the other Trace metal Boron zinc selenium manganese malum you find all of these that that're not the sort of headline minerals that most people think about”

“people might be taking 10 different supplements and they like they say, they all might have selenium in them, correct? And then you're getting toxic doses of selenium 100%. And you don't know that cuz you're not adding it all up.”

“there's some other examples like selenium that bru has published and showed there are proteins that have a stronger binding to vitamin K1 that are important for coagulation so these are proteins in the liver um versus for example other proteins that stay in circulation and are activating proteins that are important for calcium signaling and trafficking”

“people might be taking 10 different supplements and they like they say, they all might have selenium in them, correct? And then you're getting toxic doses of selenium 100%. And you don't know that cuz you're not adding it all up.”

“you need a lot of other minerals and vitamins with magnesium to make them work like B6 vitamin D selenium uh so you need those all to kind of work together as a team”

“you want to talk about a pandemic selenium selenium thyine um um and and you know to to help this this this outer ring deize in in the liver which is where two-thirds of it comes from and the balances in the gut and a little bit in the periphery but the point is that a nutrient deficiency can lead to a hormone deficiency that gets diagnosed as a as organ”

“if it came down to one or two nutrients D3 and K2 would be up there methyl folate would be right at the absolute top of the chart for me”

“my favorite vitamin D is something called vitamin D Supreme it has vitamin K2 as well including the mk7 form which is important for your heart”

“urolithin A has this remarkable ability to activate mitophagy. Mitophagy is not sort of the as the term implies, it's eating mitochondria, but it doesn't eat them discriminately. It eats the old, defective mitochondria”

“not all urolithin A is clinically tested and third-party certified”

“which I by by the way take every day because the literature is impressive on it.”

“only 30 to 40% of people can produce urolithin A naturally”

“one of the most promising compounds to do this is something called urolithin A”

“urolithin A has this remarkable ability to activate mitophagy. Mitophagy is not sort of the as the term implies, it's eating mitochondria, but it doesn't eat them discriminately. It eats the old, defective mitochondria”

“it's a natural molecule that your body can make when you have the right gut bacteria to convert compounds found in foods like pomegranate and walnuts”

“not all urolithin A is clinically tested and third-party certified”

“science has already shown that urolithin A supports muscle and skin health”

“A new clinical trial in healthy, middle-aged adults found that just 4 weeks of supplementing with 1,000 mg of urolithin A, which is what I take every day, led to a more youthful immune profile. T cells became more responsive, the immune system got better at clearing threats, markers of inflammation, they all went down, all while mitochondrial energy production improved across the board.”

“1,000 mg of urolithin A, which is what I take every day... I take it every single day”

“which I by by the way take every day because the literature is impressive on it.”

“we don't make, for example, one of these postbiotics called urolithin A, so we make it from pomegranate or other ellagitannins that are in, you know, walnuts or berries or whatever.”

“these compounds are not acting by themselves. They are actually metabolized by your microbiome. And that's really And the products of that is made by by your microbiome is is called urolithin A.”

“only about 35% of people whose microbiome cuz remember, all of our microbiomes are different. And some 60% of people's microbiome is not able to make that conversion.”

“urolithin A that is the result of a input from a pro a food product from a from a plant from a pomegranate juice that gets transformed by a fraction of us into a product that has immense benefit. So, company was founded based on this. Amazentis actually sells this product.”

“we don't make, for example, one of these postbiotics called urolithin A, so we make it from pomegranate or other ellagitannins that are in, you know, walnuts or berries or whatever.”

“these compounds are not acting by themselves. They are actually metabolized by your microbiome. And that's really And the products of that is made by by your microbiome is is called urolithin A.”

“Steven canine showed years ago you can ramp those ketones up to 1 two three Millar beta hydroxy butyrate and you can you can address that energy gap”

“you have a critical energy gap that you need to change you need to address that Gap and the best way to do it of course is with ketosis”

“when we used to grow the neurons basically using a ketogenic diet you can increase the way the brain uses energy and make it basically have more energy by feeding it fat instead of sugar and carbs”

“sugar damages your ability to support your synapsis so you got to address with ketones you got to address the energy you've got to address the insulin sensitivity”

“because getting into ketosis is so critical for supporting brain energetics we tell them just start by taking some exogenous ketones do it for a couple of months no problem because we need to get that energy up”

“the third area is energetics and that's oxygenation blood flow mitochondria and ketones the ability to have a substrate to burn”

“when you have cognitive decline you've lost both of those so you are literally starving your brain you've lost the glucose because you now have insulin resistance you've lost the ketones because your insulin is high and it's preventing you from making the ketones”

“we encourage people to measure their ketones whether you like to do it by finger stick or you can do it by breathalizer to get in the appropriate Ketone range”

“Steven canine showed years ago you can ramp those ketones up to 1 two three Millar beta hydroxy butyrate and you can you can address that energy gap”

“you have a critical energy gap that you need to change you need to address that Gap and the best way to do it of course is with ketosis”

“when we used to grow the neurons basically using a ketogenic diet you can increase the way the brain uses energy and make it basically have more energy by feeding it fat instead of sugar and carbs”

“sugar damages your ability to support your synapsis so you got to address with ketones you got to address the energy you've got to address the insulin sensitivity”

“typically we don't recommend for example coconut oil MCT oil we recommend if you want to take some want to get into ketosis exogenously just take some exogenous Ketone take Ketone salts take Ketone Esters those sorts of things you can do that a couple of times a day and get nice spikes in your Ketone levels”

“MMP levels were going down and so that's a marker of inflammation that's a marker of inflammation that's also a marker of you know how much collagen you're going to degrade”

“collagen is the protein that keeps your skin together and there are enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases MMPs that degrade collagen that just go shoot up with aging and what top we saw in these trials was that MMP levels were going down and so that's a marker of inflammation that's a marker of inflammation that's also a marker of you know how much collagen you're going to degrade”

“bone broth has a lot of gut healing components in it collagen and very anti-inflammatory”

“we we know that it improves um uh collagen elastin fibrin um we also know that that's all your connective tissue that's your connective tissue which is often very inflamed and that causes pain or dysfunction”

“there's lots of uh studies on the proliferation of collagen elastin and fibrin”

“you might have some pleasing effects on the skin like you know um improve collagen lasting fibrin in the surface of your skin you might have some reduction of fine lines and wrinkles”

“one device that upstages the mitochondria that improves collagen elastin and fibrin in the skin that improves angiogenesis the formation of new blood vessels beneath the skin”

“the masks for the face are great for collagen and elastin in your skin fiber in skin”

“this is our natural killer cells um collagen elastin fibrin in our skin a lot of marketing gimmicks have allowed us to think that we can Target direct protein like we can eat collagen and it shows up ex...”

“DHEA sulfate this is a hormone that looks at your adrenal function adrenal function is connected to your sex hormones but often as we're under stress as we age our DHA levels go down and we tend to age faster we tend to have more fatigue we tend to have less libido we tend to have other issues”

“so checking your your dhaa level is really important because that tells you where you are in”

“you restore the DHEA level you restore the hormones very often”

“high shbg or low DHEA those three are are critical to having um healthy levels of testosterone”

“if you see somebody that has low double digit levels of DHEA right um in highend which is actually usually caused by stress right yeah it's very often caused by stress it's an easy supplement to take um you you supplement them with DHEA and then all of a sudden the hormone production starts again”

“they gave human growth hormone and that form in DHEA and it it improved their thy the thymus improved it was only a men so they're going to do another trial”

“found she had a really high level of something called methon acid and homocysteine which are things that most doctors don't check but reflect your status of B12 which is methanic acid and homocysteine which is the folate and even B6 so I basically gave her B12 shots high doses of methyl folate...and she called me back and was doing amazing and all of her symptoms had gone away”

“the critical supports for this nerve growth factor brain derived neurotrophic Factor B12 all these things it takes as you know it takes a lot to keep a brain functional”

“you also need a lot of nutrients to metabolize your toxins things like folate zinc selenium magnesium manganes you need all the methylating B vitamins folate B12 B6 um and you need these are all co-actors that basically power all those detox enzymes that are processing all the toxins”

“the ones that are really causing Havoc are you know deficiencies and you know the methylation nutrient it's like the B vitamins folate B6 B12 deficiencies”

“It inhibits B12 absorption which is critical for so many functions that can cause depression, dementia, neurologic issues. People don't know this”

“We check your level of B vitamins like homoyine and methylonic acid which measure B12, folate, B6 effectiveness.”

“We check your level of B vitamins like homoyine and methylonic acid which measure B12, folate, B6 effectiveness.”

“if you taking an acid blocking drug you're going to prevent B12 absorption and even magnesium and and zinc absorption”

“rather than just taking a drug to suppress stomach acid which we desperately need to digest our food to absorb minerals to absorb B12 to digest protein”

“some of the nutritional deficiencies that are pretty common that any family doc could do would be vitamin B12 and d”

“vitamin B12 is a pet peeve of mind because our normal range the lab slips might say 220 to 1100 and nobody feels well with a level of 220 so times we've treated people with severe depression that we're told by their PCP they have normal B12”

“a B12 shot and they're on a different path”

“you want to make sure that you reduce your uh drugs if you can or switch to different drugs or are not that are not depleting the the nutrients or that you actually take the nutrients as a replacement”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“I think it's something like 96% of the US population doesn't meet the adequate intake for potassium it's essentially everyone”

“potassium is a big one because it's so important for the sodium potassium pump which plays a role in blood pressure”

“when you're talking about too much sodium and not enough potassium it's really exacerbating without not getting enough potassium aspect right because that ratio is so important”

“our potassium intake is as Hunter together should be 10 to one potassium to sodium now it's the other way around”

“pottassium does play an important role in regulating blood pressure”

“so does magnesium too so does magnesium so does magnesium it's a relaxation mineral”

“it's not like salt is bad we need salt it's just it's all the salt added by corporations to your food that make you palatable...and you need to actually not get as much sodium which is what we're eating all Ultra processed food”

“that's where you get your you know potassium which is from you know plants”

“through the things that are the most common deficient in in our in our country right Omega-3s vitamin D magnesium and there's others right”

“if you're sweating a lot like I exercise and I sweat a lot I I make sure I take electrolytes because I want to replenish my magnesium”

“I take a mineral salt every morning um I take one called Baja gold sea salt but a mineral salt like a Celtic salt or a B could you use electrolytes is that kind um I use that as my electrolyte”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“so does magnesium too so does magnesium so does magnesium it's a relaxation mineral”

“I think it's something like 96% of the US population doesn't meet the adequate intake for potassium it's essentially everyone”

“potassium is a big one because it's so important for the sodium potassium pump which plays a role in blood pressure”

“that's where you get your you know potassium which is from you know plants”

“when you're talking about too much sodium and not enough potassium it's really exacerbating without not getting enough potassium aspect right because that ratio is so important”

“our potassium intake is as Hunter together should be 10 to one potassium to sodium now it's the other way around”

“it's not like salt is bad we need salt it's just it's all the salt added by corporations to your food that make you palatable...and you need to actually not get as much sodium which is what we're eating all Ultra processed food”

“the key ones that almost all of us are deficient as you know in zinc and and zinc has become a huge issue because of covid-19”

“so many of the people who are deficient in zinc are reduced and have an increased poor outcome increased risk for having a poor outcome from covid-19”

“zinc magnesium iodine potassium those are the big four that most of us are deficient in”

“you look at all your nutritional status right the B vitamins vitamin D vitamin E magnesium zinc copper CoQ10 lipoic acid Omega-3s”

“you look at all your nutritional status right the B vitamins vitamin D vitamin E magnesium zinc copper CoQ10 lipoic acid Omega-3s”

“taking uh nutritional supplements that can optimize your mitochondria like the Mito Q or CoQ10 or other things that we suggested for you can be really really effective”

“there's many of those that you need more of depending on your state of health or what's going on like CoQ10 if you're on a statin”

“doing nutrition testing on tens of thousands of people and deep analysis of minerals and vitamins and antioxidant levels and oxidative stress and CoQ10, all the things that people normally don't look at. It's so widespread like nutrient deficiency is so widespread in America.”

“you need to have appropriate probiotics to support your microbiome”

“we actually probably do have a normal brain microbiome and we're going to have to have probiotics for our brain at some point cogn notics right cogn notics yeah there we go”

“mitochondrial supplements that are used to improve mitochondrial function, whether CoQ10 or NAD or NMN or the B vitamins”

“I take nmn form of a younger NN about 1,000 milligrams a day to support NAD production again this is really critical for activating longevity switches”

“I'm quite convinced there's such a thing as a lithium deficiency disorder... lithium is a natural element and it's essential for human health in small amounts”

“lowd dose nutritional lithium kind of was the answer um they have a family history of major mental illness they're aggressive they're irritable and just small amounts nutritional lithium was enough to kind of keep them um behaving”

“thousands of hair tests of kids with lithium when I started you know I'd get like 25 30% undetectable lithium in the hair now I'm seeing 75%”

“the amount of lithium in the tap water in our drinking water uh varied geographically...one part of Texas High lithium guess what they had low rates of suicide and mental illness another part of Texas had low lithium they had high rates...we've done these studies all around the globe and the amount of lithium in the tap water predicts exactly rates of suicide High lithium low rates”

“lithium sounds like it's something you treat bipolar patients with it's something that's we learned in medical school is toxic you have to measure blood levels and you don't want to take too much of it and you can get thyroid suppression...the difference between therapeutic uh medication pharmacologic Doses and nutritional lium therapy”

“I don't know if it's the bottled water we're not getting lithium from our natural tap water sources or other environmental things binding it but I I believe that's a factor”

“Leucine is important for muscle health”

“if you use animal protein, you're going to get a much more concentrated protein at a lower calorie count and also with higher levels of leucine, which is the amino acid you need to actually make muscle.”

“The most important is the resistance training input, the mechanical input, and then the protein input. Yeah. >> Primarily leucine.”

“leucine was the rate limiting amino acid for turning on the switch that starts you to build muscle.”

“I might have a scoop of a whey protein shake, which is has about 20 g of protein, 2 and 1 half grams of leucine, but that's not enough for me because, you know, I'm burn the candle at both ends and I'm I'm training hard. So I'll add in a scoop of essential amino acids.”

“we eat for the branch chain amino acids amino acids which are Lucine isol leucine and veine that all come in the right amounts to feed skeletal muscle”

“you can get epitalon spray which is actually nasal spray no under the tongue under the tongue normally you have to inject”

“is this something you take every day is it something you take cavison wants you to cycle it and so I have made my patients”

“which is sad because the FDA has this on the chopping blocks there too uh in terms of banning peptides”

“if you can get from Russia the original one Cav sure there's not a lot of Commerce Going Back in Forth with Russia China through China yeah yeah”

“I basically gave her B12 shots high doses of methyl folate which is a particular kind saw she had some genes that made her need a special kind of folate and she called me back and was doing amazing and all of her symptoms had gone away”

“she had some genes that made her need a special kind of folate”

“homocysteine which are things that most doctors don't check but reflect your status of B12 which is methanic acid and homocysteine which is the folate and even B6”

“you also need a lot of nutrients to metabolize your toxins things like folate zinc selenium magnesium manganes you need all the methylating B vitamins folate B12 B6 um and you need these are all co-actors that basically power all those detox enzymes that are processing all the toxins”

“he used a media that didn't have folate and uh all of a sudden um he started noticing all these double stranded breaks in DNA...DNA double shed brakes and D DNA are the precursor to um basically on oncogenic mutation cancer”

“he decided to do some animal work well let's see what happens if we don't if we deprive you know rodents of folate and sure enough widespread DNA damage just completely you know and DNA double shed brakes and D DNA are the precursor to um basically on oncogenic mutation cancer”

“he had found some humans um that were low and folate and did some experiments as well found a similar thing gave them back the folate DNA double stranded brakes went away”

“folate is a precursor for um for making DNA and so if you don't have that there your body will put something there from RNA a urasil instead of a a thyine and those are like nucleotides DNA build and so it basically causes these double stranded breaks”

“if you're low folate in the short term it'll cause anemia of form of anemia call which is Big cells called megastic anemia but in the long run it can cause cancer and heart disease and dementia”
