Welcome to the Aging Well podcast.
Today we discuss a fascinating and emerging area of health and
longevity, molecular hydrogen therapy.
Our guest, known as Greg the Hydrogen Man, is a molecular
hydrogen therapy specialist and researcher who has an incredible
personal journey of healing and transformation.
After struggling with a compromised immune system,
tumors, autoimmune issues, severe arthritis, and even being
(00:32):
wheelchair bound due to a serious heart condition, Greg
took matters into his own hands.Through extensive research and
self experimentation, he discovered the remarkable health
benefits of hydrogen therapy, which helped him reverse his
chronic health conditions and reclaim his life.
Today, Greg is passionate about educating others on how
molecular hydrogen can support longevity, gut health, immune
(00:55):
function, and even skin health. He also sheds light on its
potential for hormone balance, EMF protection, and chronic
disease management. If you've ever wondered how
something as simple as hydrogen but have such profound benefits,
you won't want to miss this conversation.
If you are recording, I should say, you know, I'm not going to
give you any medical advice today.
I'm not making any medical claims.
(01:16):
And everything I'm going to say today is just my opinion and
should not be considered as claims for or against any
product or products. And so I just like to say that
because my journey was really, Imean, I got really sick, you
know, and I had a lot of major medical issues.
And ironically, I mean, I did work in the medical field for
about two decades, maybe a little more.
And I really knew exactly what goes on behind the scenes.
(01:38):
And to be quite honest with you,it wasn't good.
I don't, I don't know how a lot of people, you know, well, they
do it. It's just the job of you know,
but I saw the limitations of quote UN quote, Western
medicine. So basically when I got sick, I
got really concerned because I'mlike, Western medicine is not
going to help me. And it didn't.
I mean, I still tried of course,and it not only didn't do
(02:02):
anything, it most likely it it would make things worse.
I know that it would make thingsbased on side effects of stuff
they want to put you on. And, and I was already in such
bad shape. I mean, technically I'm not even
supposed to be alive right now. So I'm not even, I'm already
supposed to be dead. I've been told more than once by
certain physicians too, that I'mliterally a miracle.
(02:22):
It's like it's a miracle. How did your medical conditions
go away? Well, it wasn't by accident.
I did a lot of work. I did a lot of research.
And throughout my research, thisis where things that kind of
controversial because I'm not really a fan of, you know, I
have friends that are MD's and doctors and that's great, but
I'm not a huge fan about how they go about things, you know,
(02:43):
medically. But I'm also not a big fan of a
lot of the, you know, the YouTube health guru and they
claim to be the number one biohacker in the world.
And, and let me sell you more supplements, you know, and, and
that kind of thing and get you to eat, I don't know, nothing
but meat go in the carnivore diet or, or eat nothing but
vegetables or something, you know, very, these very extreme
(03:05):
different methods, which, you know, is fine and all, but I
really followed a lot of the scientific data and it really
led me down this pretty crazy path.
And I developed my own protocols.
I, I, I don't follow anybodies. I created my own and I was kind
of shocked how good they've worked.
I'm an extremely shocked. I've worked with people with
easy, like easy stuff is like high blood pressure, diabetes,
(03:28):
you know, cholesterol issues, a lot of eye issues, glaucoma,
macular degeneration, people with cataract issues.
I've even worked with a lot of people with brain issues like
TBI, which is traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, dementia,
you know, people with brain fog,people with autoimmune issues,
even people with cancer, you know, people with a lot of gut
issues. And I've had like, honestly,
(03:49):
just ridiculous success. That was shocking to me.
I never thought in a million years that my protocols would
work that good. And it, it, it was, it was
extremely shocking. I mean, one of the most recent
ones there was this poor girl. She had a stroke.
She couldn't walk. She couldn't talk.
She couldn't dress herself. It's extremely sad.
She was going to doctors. By the way, is the microphone
(04:11):
OK? Oh, OK.
You know, she'd been going to doctors for almost 2 years and
they did 0 for her. She still couldn't walk, still
couldn't talk. She actually drooled and she was
an absolute mess. And I got the most beautiful
e-mail actually from her mother because somebody who knew me
said, hey, what kind of protocolwould you do?
Because I don't get medical advice.
(04:32):
I'm like, well, this is what I would do for me.
And she ended up following it. She is now walking, She is now
talking. Her drool is over 90% gone.
And even the doctors that treated her just cannot believe
the results. And so they actually want to
know what my protocols are. They're like, what in the world
is this guy doing? Because they asked them, They're
like, what did you do? And that's how, that's how
doctors and even suppose that health gurus find out about me,
(04:56):
because I get a lot of people, it's, I'm not going to name
names, but there's a lot of people out in the Internet world
that claim to be health professionals or again,
biohackers and that they're an amazing health and they contact
me behind the scenes because they're not better.
So then they, they're like, can you please help me?
I literally just got off a phonecall like a week ago.
(05:16):
Again, I won't name a name, but this person is pretty big and
they're known for that's their whole channel.
Everything they do is about being a biohacker and overcoming
all these health issues. And this particular person has
major health issues and there's more than one and I've done many
of these type of calls and I'm the guy who's small time like
that nobody really knows about. So it's been a really wild story
(05:37):
because I never thought that I'dbe a biohacker, which I don't
really consider myself that, butI look at health in a very
different way and, and it end upreally affecting a lot in
regards to longevity and also anti ageing and you know, really
helping improve people's health.And again, absolutely shocking.
I mean, I even had another person, I mean, these are the
big ones. There was one with dementia.
(05:59):
This poor lady didn't even recognize her own daughter.
I have video of, I actually havea video that I made a bit.
I put everything on. I give everything for free.
So everything's on YouTube for free.
I don't charge memberships, nothing.
The name of the channel is called Uprising 144K.
And this one was of a lady who couldn't recognize her own
daughter. Her daughter had contacted me.
Her mother has dementia. And she was basically saying,
(06:21):
look, you know, they haven't been able to do anything for
her, you know, anything you can do.
And I don't like to, I don't care.
I don't like to make guarantees like, oh, yeah, this is totally
going to work because even I've been observing my protocols to
see how well they do work or don't work.
But this has been going on a lotof years and I've been racking
them up as far as seeing how many times it works.
And it just shows you the true magic of super clean water with
(06:45):
super clean, properly made hydrogen and then properly used
hydrogen. I mean, that's foundational to
my protocols. In fact, I have a lab report
right here. So I am a water expert basically
and a hydrogen expert. And mostly, I mean, I've really
learned a lot of things as you can probably imagine, but also
hydrogen generator expert as faras how to generate it is very
(07:07):
important. But this is a third party lab
test. And what would shock people, and
you know what they're probably won't be shocked, but is a list
of all the nasty chemicals in water.
And there's, by the way, there'spages and pages of this
particular lab test. Now the good news is most people
don't act. Most people think hey if I drink
(07:28):
water then I filter it, it's going to be fine.
It's not going to be fine in my opinion because most water
filters my video 388, all my numbers are all my videos are
numbered. I specifically explained the
different types of water filtration.
So I know every water filtrationmodality in exists and what it
can and cannot do. Pretty much almost all water
filters will not eliminate everything, especially
(07:50):
parasites, viruses and bacteria and mold.
Most water filters just can't doall that.
They can minimize it a lot of times, but they can't get it all
out except for one method. And I discovered this again.
I always follow the science, butI also observe nature.
And so this is how nature does it.
But even if I were to give you like an example here, have you
heard of pee Foz? So pee Foz are what they call
(08:13):
forever chemicals. They're really.
Yeah, you probably know about them.
So here's the levels that were in the water 26 and A7 and after
the carbon distillation, which is what I recommend to filter
water 0, everything goes to a zero basically when you do it
correctly. And that means all
pharmaceuticals, all fluoride, all the garbage in your water.
This is the way you clean it. Now, a lot of people are against
(08:34):
this method, supposed health gurus, but then in time they
change their mind and everybody's, that's the thing.
Everybody's always arguing aboutwhat the best is as far as
water. Like people are like, oh, you
should drink alkaline water. No, you should drink spring
water. And everybody's always arguing
and, and I got very frustrated when I was trying to find my
way. And I just, I do a lot of
independent thinking and I just thought to myself, what do I
(08:55):
want out of my water? And what I really wanted was I
just wanted it to be clean. I want it to be the cleanest
water possible. Of course, I learned about
hydrogen later. And that was like the magic.
I mean, my father was an actually a really good example
because he didn't want to deal with my protocols.
He was, he was dealing with stuff that has to do with
cholesterol, blood pressure, butdiabetes, arthritis was really
(09:16):
bad for him and his glaucoma. And he's like, I want to do your
protocols because some of my protocols can be pretty
involved. I mean, people need healing and,
and you know, it's really difficult sometimes.
And so I have different stages of protocols, but my father
basically said, look, the only thing that I'm willing to do is
do that carbon distiller to clean the water completely.
If people want to know what I use, by the way, it's a website
(09:37):
calledmypurewater.com and I and people have discount codes.
So if they want to discount, thecode is the same name as my
channel Uprising 144K. But you get one of these carbon
distillers, which I bought one for my dad, and then I bought
them a hydrogen generator, whichI'm very picky about.
Like I do not use these and it'sfor good reason.
But I'm not a fan of these bottles.
I know they're like crazy popular, but I'm not a fan.
(09:58):
I don't like plated metals, which is what they use.
They're all made in China. I don't like the membranes
they're using. Companies are trying to hide a
lot of that information now because I talk about it and they
don't like me talking about it. But I'm just about facts, you
know, I'm not going to sugarcoatanything.
So anyway, so you have to have areally good hydrogen generator.
And I did a massive amount of research and basically became an
(10:21):
expert in the field, too. And what I learned was the
Japanese make the best stuff, not the Chinese when it comes to
hydrogen. And so the machine I use is
actually the number one hydrogenmachine, not only in the world,
but it's the number one in Japan.
And that's a big deal. They're, they're literally the
hydrogen Mecca in Japan. I mean, they, they know a lot
about the subject. They also know a lot about water
actually. And so anyway, in Japan, you
(10:41):
know, I, I found this really good device if people want to
see it. Also people get curious, the
official website. So you actually can, you know,
you're going to the right place.It's called holyhydrogen.com.
And so anyway, that's, that was foundational and I did that for
my dad because I remember my dadbasically said, I'm not going to
do anything because I don't wantto change my diet.
I don't want to change the way Ilive, you know, and he said the
(11:02):
only thing that I'm willing to do is do that clean water
through the carbon distiller with the hydrogen.
And I actually didn't think it would work, but I like to be
positive. So I started thinking to myself,
Hey, you know, let's see if it does work.
You know, even though he still wants to eat his cheeseburgers
and grab a beer and, and have French fries and, and, you know,
go out to eat a lot and travel and, and all this kind of stuff.
(11:23):
So he did it. And it was absolutely shocking
to me when all those conditions went away.
The one that was probably the well, I think I was the most
shocked, but I would say that one of his doctors was extremely
shocked his specifically his eyedoctor because he's like how
your glaucoma is gone. You've been coming to us for
over 3 decades. There's no way that it's gone.
He didn't even believe his own results.
(11:45):
So he actually had my father come back in and get retested.
He did this like 3 times and then after that he's like, this
is ridiculous. I know you have glaucoma, you
keep testing negative. So they ended up making an
appointment with like a specialist that took like half a
year to get an appointment. It was a really big deal and and
they were just shocked. They said glaucoma doesn't get
better with age. And in this case, it didn't just
(12:05):
get better, it like disappeared.And so it was, it was shocking.
And he was able to get off all these other medications that he
was on too. He was off of all
pharmaceuticals, especially though for his arthritis was
very concerning to me. And of course, I found out later
through Japanese research that hydrogen appears to be also very
anti aging. And so for me, it made perfect
sense that if something's very anti aging, a lot of medical
(12:27):
issues would also go away. And we're not talking about
something that has like 5 studies or 20 studies.
I mean, hydrogen in Japan, I believe the numbers, I mean,
they're, they're moving a lot every day, but I would, I
believe there are a little over 2000 studies at this point.
I mean, that's a lot of data that really shows the magic of
hydrogen. And we are talking about
specifically molecular hydrogen.A lot of people are like, oh, I
(12:49):
use hydrogen peroxide and it's like, that's not, that's not the
same type of hydrogen. Not not only that hydrogen
peroxide is actually one additional oxygen molecule.
It's actually very oxidizing, which you don't particularly
want in this case. And I mean, that's the whole
reason that when you get cut, you put it on there because
oxidation will kill things. So you kill a bacteria, you
know, prevent an infection. And I know all about, you know,
(13:12):
hydrogen peroxide, but it's verydifferent than molecular
hydrogen. And I did both when I was very
sick. I tried everything under the
sun. That's why I found out what
worked and what didn't. And that's how I found out that
a lot of people, you know, again, not the name names, but a
lot of people out there that claim that certain things work
and never saw them work for me. I've never seen them work for,
you know, a lot of other people.And I just found out that the
(13:33):
whole health industry, both alternative health and not, and,
and Western medicine. This is my opinion by the way,
but the majority of it, I'm not going to say all of it, but the
majority of it is just not what we're being told in my opinion.
And so I had to embark on my ownjourney and.
Tell us a little bit about that journey.
What were some of the biggest health challenges you faced
(13:54):
before discovering hydrogen therapy?
I had a ton of them. I mean, I had autoimmune issues
that were causing severe inflammation all over my body.
It must have been weakening something like a ligament or
joints because I would have so much joint pain.
I literally couldn't even work the remote control on a
television. That's how bad it hurt.
And I literally couldn't walk. I was bedridden most of the time
(14:17):
and then I would have little times where I could kind of
walk. But you know, and, and so these
things were happening and it waspretty bad.
But the real major stuff too on top of that was I did have some
tumors in my body. And then on top of that, my, my
liver and my kidneys were not really optimal.
In fact, this autoimmune issue that I appeared to have, but
these gut issues also, which in my opinion is where autoimmune
(14:38):
issues tend to come from. I had a lot of gut issues and my
immune system was garbage. I mean, I, I'd get sick so
easily and it would take me forever to recover and then when
I would recover, I would literally, I could get sick
within a week or two all over again.
And it was just, it was hell. I mean, it, it was a really bad
place. And then on top of all of that,
I had a, the one that was bothering me the least of all
(14:59):
things is the one that apparently was supposed to kill
me. I'm, I'm not supposed to be
alive right now, was a major heart condition that I had.
So my cardiologist, I mean, I'veknown that I had a heart
condition for a very long time because every time I went to the
doctor, they're like, your heartdoesn't sound right.
You know, they would tell me every single time I'm like, I
got it, you know, it's fine, whatever.
And I just lived like that expecting that one day I would
(15:22):
just whatever, you know, maybe die.
And, and when I really got some really good insurance, I finally
went to a cardiologist and checked everything.
And there's a lot of scans and things that they did and they
could see the heart, you know, in vivo.
And, and basically after all that, he's like, man, your
hearts like a mess. And he's like, you would be
lucky if you had 10 years. And so he said you, you're
(15:44):
probably going to need surgery, you know, we, you know, we have
to figure it out, you know, blah, blah, blah, right.
I want to do some more testing, you know, And so we went through
all that and it was literally right around that time that I
was kind of discovering hydrogenand I was doing some of these
things already. I was kind of lining them up
because I did a lot of stuff in regards to like trying different
diets and, and the supplements and all these devices that
(16:07):
everybody wants to sell you and,and they didn't work, you know,
in fact, nothing was really working.
And it was really heartbreaking because I was putting so much
effort and a lot of fasting and it was so brutal.
I mean, I, I lost my job. I couldn't even work anymore.
And so it was a real, it was a real struggle.
And then when I really found theright hydrogen because I've
been, I actually did try like the little bottles.
(16:29):
I tried hydrogen tablets, which I just do not recommend anymore
at all based on things that I'velearned about them.
And I tried, I tried all sorts of stuff, you know, out there
and nothing was working. And when I followed the data,
which is really what I tend to do now and do a lot of my own
think individual, you know, thinking is that basically the
(16:51):
data led me to Japan. I mean, I'm here, I'm looking at
all the scientific data. And I mean, the Japanese were
literally, and still are, they're literally using this in
University Hospitals. So I mean, this is really legit.
So I was like, OK, you know, howam I going to get my hands on
hydrogen? How do I even know how to use
it? There's so many questions and
that's why I had to teach myself.
(17:13):
You know, I have a background ineducation and I had to, I was
all self-taught really took a long time and basically once I
figured it all out, I started making the hydrogen actually
correctly and properly. I started obviously filtering my
water properly and, and I just going through this process and
by the time I went back to the cardiologist and next time he
was shocked my, my heart condition was gone, you know, on
(17:34):
top of all these other issues that I was having.
And so it was, it was shocking. Even I was shocked.
I was like, could this be real? Did you make a mistake?
He's like, there's no mistake. I, we have recorded your heart
condition before. Now you're showing fine.
He's like, no way. And and not only that, I had had
the condition for a very long time.
So that was basically the gist of a of a lot of my quote UN
(17:57):
quote medical issues that I was able to resolve.
And you know, my gut, my gut gotway better.
My immune system is a way better.
You know, all these things have really changed dramatically.
And so and, and more stuff on top of it, which I don't talk
about a lot, but like cognitive function, like my brain, I don't
know how I remember that. There's so many things that I
(18:18):
just pull up so easily now and I, and it's kind of shocking
actually. Sometimes, you know, you're just
like, wow, OK, I remembered that.
That's, that's cool. But based on some new stuff that
I'm uncovering, I'm not kidding when I say that I really think
that this, what I'm doing, theseprotocols and this hydrogen
technology, I really think that it not only can improve, you
know, neurological and you know,brain function.
(18:39):
I actually think it can increaseintelligence, as crazy as that
sounds. There's a lot of things that I
believe that a lot of these protocols can do, which I think
are extremely shocking. And I have more.
In fact, I've come up with so many more great ideas since
hydrogen. So it's almost like what
happened. Something I feel like a little
switch flipped in my head because here's another
interesting little example. But have you ever seen this book
(19:01):
or heard of? No, I haven't.
And he's holding up for the listeners.
He's holding up the hidden passages in water.
Oh, hidden messages. I can't read.
I maybe need hydrogen to clear up my I have my contacts in.
I don't know what's going on. And you know, it's funny that
you say that because that's another thing that I've
observed. Even with my dad, I all of a
sudden he stopped using glasses and I was like, I never seen him
(19:21):
with glasses on. I have found that I can, I can
help basically get your vision better.
I was like, why would this do that?
Because your eyes are actually connected to your brain.
You know, they kind of are a part of your brain.
And so all this brain function improvement, the eyes seem to go
along with it. This is the thing that I've been
noticing through all these yearsof my work.
But the hidden messages in waterwas it sounds like a Looney Tune
(19:43):
story because basically it's a book that talks about how you
can talk to water, how you can play music to water, how you can
be thoughts to water and measureits reaction.
And it's unbelievable because itwhat this guy proved.
And by the way, who did it? A Japanese guy.
I'm telling you, the Japanese understand water more than
anyone I've ever seen in the world that it's unbelievable.
(20:06):
And so anyway, the the magic of water.
Is, in my opinion, very powerful.
And a lot of people don't even know that the word hydrogen
actually means that which becomes water.
So hydrogen is even the precursor of water.
And it's so special if you do itcorrectly, you know, if you make
it properly, if you use it properly.
(20:26):
And that's the key because I literally just talked to a guy
yesterday who's been taking those hydrogen tablets actually,
and they were telling me that they haven't seen anything.
In fact, they saw their kidneys getting worse.
They were doing for kidney issues and they were trying to
get help from me because I actually helped my own brother
who had kidney problems. He was about to get on dialysis.
His kidneys were shot. All doctors will tell you in the
(20:47):
medical establishment that you can't fix kidney.
That's pretty much what you're told.
Well, I created a protocol for kidneys and I saw it work with
my brother. I, I wasn't sure if it would,
but when I saw it work, I'm like, clearly the protocol works
and I've seen it work for others.
And so this guy contacted me about his kidney issues.
He was taking the hydrogen tablets.
And I was like, don't do that. This is not what you want to do
for your kidneys. And he goes, well, it is a
(21:07):
little ironic that you're sayingthat because my kidneys were
dull and vegan. And he goes, and I'm not even
feeling that great. So.
And I said, yeah, you don't wantto take that.
Hydrogen's supposed to be odorless, colorless, tasteless
and pH neutral, all which the pills don't do.
They have color to them. They have taste to them.
They kind of stink, actually. They have like a smell.
(21:28):
Smells like it's burnt and it, and it alters the pH
dramatically. It actually makes the water very
acidic. So here, remember, we used to
have all these people preaching about alkaline water.
Now everybody's telling you about these high makes the water
super acidic. And again, everybody's always
changing their, their tune depending on what they're trying
to sell. And it's, it is very
frustrating. But you know, with the hydrogen
that I make, which the Japanese fall out all the science, it is
(21:51):
odorless, it is colorless, it ispH neutral.
You know, it's, it's done the right way.
It's, it's done the way that a University Hospital in Japan
would do it. So that's the important part.
You know, you're not just, again, you're not just buying a
little Chinese bottle thinking, Hey, this is going to fix all my
problems. Yeah, I don't want, I don't want
to give people false expectations.
(22:11):
And in my opinion, it's just kind of a waste of money and
they just end up in a landfill. And, you know, so there's a lot
to educate on hydrogen and that's what I've been doing for.
So how did you come to hydrogen?How did you begin implementing
hydrogen in your health routine and and what were the most
immediate changes you noticed? Well, I mean, first I started
reading this. I stumbled upon the scientific
data because one of the things that I wanted to do when I was
(22:32):
creating my protocols is I looked to a lot of places.
I looked to nature, I looked at science.
I did a lot of critical thinkingand just used all the knowledge
that I've gained throughout my life too.
And, and I put it all together in trial and error.
And then eventually I stumbled upon the hydrogen research too.
And I thought, honestly, I thought it was a scam is what I
thought when I read it. I'm like, it's got to be a scam.
(22:53):
I didn't even understand it and it kept coming up.
It kept coming up and my, my health conditions were only
getting worse. And then I got desperate and I
was like, OK, I'm super doing super terrible.
I've read about this hydrogen stuff.
I started looking at where the data was coming from and it was
very legitimate places again in Japan.
And I was like, OK, this stuff starting to look pretty
legitimate. And then I thought, well, I want
(23:16):
to try it. And you, you can't go to your
corner drugstore and go buy hydrogen.
So then that's when I started having to look about how you
make it. And then that's when I started
learning that there's different ways to make it.
And then I started learning about byproducts that are
produced like contaminants when making different types of
hydrogen. And then that's, I mean, that's
the part where, you know, it upsets a lot of people.
(23:36):
And I'll apologize for that because I know that typically
when it affects someones pocketbook, people get upset
and, and I understand that. The sad part is, is that I made
a promise as far as I made a prayer actually, when I was in
my lowest point. And I just prayed for God to
help guide me and help me figureout this, this medical issue.
And I promised that if I were tofigure it out, that I would help
(23:58):
others and share it with others.And so I've always done that.
So I've, I've kept to that promise instead of like I've
been offered, I'm sure you knew,but I've been offered by many
companies. They want me to promote their
products, their supplements, youknow, different stuff.
And I never will. And I turned down actually a lot
of money, but I always adhere towhat got me better and the
(24:20):
protocols that I still follow tothis day.
So I don't just, you know, you know, promote a bunch of stuff.
And so. So yeah.
But basically after reading all the scientific data, I started,
you know, learning again how to make the different types of
hydrogen. And I was trying different
hydrogen and I, I wasn't gettingany better.
In fact, actually a lot of timesI was actually getting worse.
So it was very, I was very confused by that.
(24:41):
But I kept learning and obviously I eventually learned
that how you make hydrogen matters and how you actually use
it. And that's when I really
started, you know, seeing the benefits and it was a little
slow going. You know, hydrogen is not like a
miracle thing that you just, youknow, take a glass once and
you're done, you know, but it isin nature.
And that's the other thing, you know, I, I, the way that I
(25:01):
filter water is the way nature does it.
In fact, I don't know. Do you know how nature.
Films, I'm thinking basically, you know, water running down a
stream, running through the rocks and that kind of stuff,
so. Well, that's what most people
think it'd be. It's a little ironic that people
don't realize that the the purification of water actually
starts with hydrogen, which means the sun.
Our sun is made-up of almost entirely hydrogen.
(25:22):
I mean, it's also made-up of helium, but helium is basically,
and so the sun hits the ocean and when the water gets hot, the
steam rises and through the ascension process of the water.
Water is very spiritual, by the way.
This is something that you know,as crazy as it sounds, that's
actually why I showed you this book because I don't want to
sound all crazy because I'm a real data-driven guy and I'm a
real skeptic. But I will tell you, I think you
(25:45):
can literally communicate with water, as crazy as that sounds.
I mean, this Japanese guy, everybody thought that he was
absolutely including me. He really did some very good
work with the hidden messages inwater and he proved that water
has memory and there is a, thereis a communication with it and,
and I experienced it. I mean, by doing hydrogen all
these years, it, it almost literally feels like it's
(26:06):
talking to me. I know that sounds wild, but
there's like information within it that has been in there since
the beginning of time and there's so much in there.
And, and I have so many things Iwant to do with that
information. That's another long story
because I literally have a device that I believe could
potentially take care of any medical condition in existence
and help the human body live a super long time, hundreds and
(26:27):
hundreds and hundreds of years, if not potentially into the
thousands. And but that's something that,
you know, it's going to take time and a lot of funding to
create such a device because, you know, it'd probably be
somewhere in the neighborhood of30, maybe $50 million and would
require a lot of specialists andwhatnot.
But anyway, not, you know, not to, you know, get back on that.
But water is, again, very spiritual.
(26:48):
And so as it ascends because of the sun hitting it, that
actually purifies it because through the distillation is what
we would call it, right Process.It leaves all the impurities
behind. So what people don't realize is
that all the snow is falling on mountains that comes down later
as a stream, as you're saying, all the snow and rain is
actually distilled water. That's what it is.
(27:10):
And so when I looked at the scientific evidence, like I
showed you that third party lab test and I looked at every water
filtration modality in existence, that was the only one
that completely purifies your water.
And I've even created protocols using it.
And, and I always caution peopledo not ever do my protocols if
you're not using the exact waterthat I'm talking about or even
(27:33):
the hydrogen, because if you do it wrong and I've seen it, I've
seen it cause problems and, and people can even literally die.
Like I'll give you an example. Have you ever heard of the neti
pot? Oh, never heard of the neti pot.
It's like a little pot that. When you have a.
Sinus congestion. You pour through your sinuses.
You can literally die from usingthat thing if you don't read the
directions. And I'll tell you why the
(27:53):
directions specifically say to use distilled water.
Why would it say? Because any other water can have
a virus, a bacteria, A parasite,mold or God knows what other
pharmaceutical or any contaminant.
And you run it through your sinuses.
And there have been people who've literally gotten like a
parasite in their brain. They don't even know.
And it's literally eating away at their brain.
(28:15):
And six months later, all of a sudden they can't think
straight. You go to a doctor and they're
like, you know, you got this in your brain.
It's crazy, right? And so, so the, the kind of
water you use matters. And I have protocols, for
example, for the eyes, you know,we were talking about your eyes
for a second there and you wouldnever want to follow them unless
you're making the water the way that in my opinion is the best
way, you know, carbon distillation and the right type
(28:37):
of hydrogen. I would not use an inferior or
cheap device for these type of protocols because of the
concerns, you know, these Chinese products are using like
plated metals. I don't the one the the machine
from Japan does not use plated metals and it does it for a
reason. You know, I'm sure you know
about plating. What ends up happening with
plated metals, especially when you're running electricity
through it with water. I mean, that's literally how
(28:59):
they make like collodial silver because they want to get the
they want to get the metal in the water.
When you're making hydrogen, youdon't want metal in your water.
You know, you want it really, really pure again, in my
opinion. And so anyway, kind of the
process of how nature purifies water to really answer that
question. And so that's how again, how I
learned a lot of things and hydrogen is found in nature.
(29:21):
Have you ever heard of a place called Lords France or Lords
France? So basically they've discovered
obviously people are like these miracle healings, right?
And at Lords France, it actuallythat water got tested so many
times and a lot of people, basically everybody said it's
just water. There's nothing magical about
it. We don't know why it's doing
what it's doing until the Japanese, The Japanese are so, I
(29:44):
mean, they're really amazing people.
I love different cultures and different people and I think you
can learn from everyone. You know, you can learn from an
old man. You can even learn from a 5 year
old. Sometimes they might say
something that's like, oh, but Inever thought of that.
You know, I love to learn. And the Japanese are
unbelievable and the detail and they're the ones that ultimately
discovered that the water and Lords friends appears to
(30:05):
actually have very high levels of molecular hydrogen, which is
exactly the hydrogen we're talking about.
That's when they started doing studies in Japan on like mice.
And I even have footage of that be I wish I had to show it to
you. It's unbelievable.
And so they start seeing all theunbelievable results of hydrogen
and that's how it all really quote UN quote got started.
But again, you're observing nature and you're just trying to
mimic it the best way possible, which is another the device that
(30:28):
I used, in fact, the number one device in Japan, the holy
hydrogen one, they, they did themost natural hydrogen I've ever
seen because like these bottles are basically electrolyzed in
the water. So when electricity and water
come in contact with, you know, certain things, there's a
reaction. And a lot of times it's not
really what you would want. And so the way that the Japanese
(30:49):
did it is they, they have two separate chambers and they
extract the hydrogen gas from 1:00 and then they dissolve it
in the other one, the one that you're actually going to drink.
No, it was never electrolyzed. There was no electricity went
through it, you know, and it makes it a very safe method of
doing hydrogen. The top 2 methods are basically
hydrogen gas injection. That's the second best way.
(31:09):
The way that I do it is the number one way, but it's the
most difficult and typically themost expensive, except that
this, this guy who invented it basically in Japan, he had a lot
of help too. It, it is, it is not the
technology that it takes as far as metal technology, the
membranes that they developed, they made breakthroughs too.
Like they literally structure the hydrogen.
(31:30):
It like looks like DNA. It's unbelievable.
Nobody's ever structured hydrogen before ever.
They're the only company in the world that's ever done this up
to date and so much more. They they did a lot of things
and that's the one that really turned on the magic for me.
That's the one that not only my heart condition went away,
obviously I had huge improvements.
And then the cognitive stuff, for me, the cognitive stuff, if
(31:52):
you would have told me that years ago, I would have been
like, whatever, I'm such a skeptic that I just wouldn't
have believed it. And it didn't really start
kicking in like for me like in avery powerful way until like, I
don't know, four years in, 3 1/2, four years in.
And so it took a while because hydrogen, just like anything,
you don't go from being £150 to £450 overnight.
(32:13):
You know, these things take time.
And if you want to lose that weight, you're not going to do
it overnight either. It takes time.
So health is something that takes time.
So when I have like, I've had somany people ask me, so am I
supposed to drink this clean water every day?
Am I supposed to have hydrogen every day?
Can't I just have it once like an antibiotic or something and,
and be done with it? And I'm like, look, you know, do
(32:34):
you have to eat every day? You know, if if you eat healthy
every day, is it going to make adifference?
Yeah. You can't just eat healthy one
day. You know, you can't just drink
water one day. It's a lifestyle.
And that's what I created. I created this lifestyle
protocol. And it's actually very simple.
It's really not so complicated. I mean, even my father was able
to follow it and he loved it. And it wasn't just him.
It was so funny because my mom was a huge skeptic.
(32:56):
She's like, there's no way your dad and to get better with water
and this hydrogen stuff. She did not believe she's like
me. She's, she was a university
professor, by the way. So she, she's very logical.
I was the same way, huge skeptic.
But if you really look at the science, it's really legitimate,
again, in my opinion. And then when we saw the stuff
go away, my mom became a believer and she started using
it too. And then she got her results.
(33:17):
Her results were pretty unbelievable.
I don't know I need to go through that unless you want me
to. But I've seen it work.
I've seen it work for years now.It's unbelievable.
You know, when I think of hydrogen, I start thinking of
the hydrogen cars and you know that potential.
What is different between hydrogen that I might put in the
vehicle and the hydrogen I mightput in my body?
(33:37):
Well, the biggest thing is goingto be, I mean, there's a lot of
differences potentially, but thebiggest thing is purity.
So remember, and I'm sure you'veheard this, like for example,
oxygen, if you're in a hospital and you need oxygen, which by
the way is oxidizing and not super good for you all the time.
I know a lot of people hate thatstatement.
I'm not saying there's no benefit to oxygen, but the
benefits are short lived. And then you got to be cautious.
(33:59):
You have to know how to use oxygen.
It can be very dangerous. I just got to put that out there
for people. When you get oxygen, which is a
gas, when you get it in the hospital, it's medical grade
oxygen. I don't think people understand
what that even means. Do you know what that means?
Probably not exactly. I just assume you know that it's
the purest form of oxygen and there's nothing else in it.
That that's exactly it's, it hasto do with its pure.
(34:21):
So you really want a really pureand that's my big gripe with
hydrogen these days. I'm like, it's got to be pure,
you know, and, and, and it saddens me when I, when I see
people, they want to use that, they don't really understand it.
And almost everybody that I've ever spoken about is already
doing it the wrong way in my. So then, you know, I have to re
educate and every single time. But basically it's a gas and so
(34:43):
a super high pure gas. And then there's certain
percentages. So another one is, for example,
medically and the machine that Iuse again, the Holy hydrogen
machine, it makes it at a 2% concentration, but it does it
because a 2% hydrogen is not flammable.
So this is important because nowit's safe for home use.
Once you get the 4% and higher, roughly, it's going to become
(35:04):
flammable and and that's very dangerous.
I've actually known, I've heard of people from somebody that I
know who worked in hydrogen and he was telling me how many
people have actually, there has been deaths and serious injuries
from people doing it the wrong way.
And you know, there's a spark somewhere or somebody doesn't
know or understand this and, andit caused some bad problems.
(35:25):
And so everything that I'm actually following and doing is
actually the Japanese medical establishments numbers.
I'm not going by the Chinese, I'm not going by anyone.
I'm going by the Japanese because in my opinion, they are
the professionals. They are the ones who discovered
that they have more experience than anybody in the world.
And so, but hydrogen is honestly, hydrogen is.
(35:45):
So, you know, I think that it's probably there are similarities
to what they use in cars. I just think that the biggest
thing would be purity and sometimes how you, again, how
you make it really matters. So the extraction method, but
I've seen those cars too. And I think it's really cool.
Some of them use certain technologies that they don't
divulge the the bad parts of thetechnology, but there are some
(36:07):
that are not necessarily super good in my opinion.
But that's a whole other thing because in time we will develop
technology to be able to extractand get hydrogen basically super
cheap, you know, borderline freealmost.
And you know, I believe the hydrogen will change the world
of health pharmaceuticals, whichit already has.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say certain pharmaceutical
words, but I could share some information if I'm allowed to.
(36:29):
I also believe it'll change the world of agriculture.
It's going to definitely change the world of athletics and it's
going to change the world of energy.
So hydrogen is the new wave of change that's coming, in my
opinion, for for humanity. So.
What makes hydrogen such a powerful antioxidant and how
does this compare to some of theother well known antioxidants,
(36:49):
you know, some of these things in vitamin C or glutathione or
some of the other, you know, antioxidants that are pretty
popular right now? You know, antioxidants are
great, but people don't tend to understand.
I wish we had a chart that we could show them.
They actually antioxidants are actually come in different
sizes. Were you aware of that?
Pretty much you. Know most people believe it or
not, don't know that. They don't know that
(37:10):
antioxidants are different sizes.
So if you were to look at Co Q10, it'd be like really big.
If you were to look at vitamin C, it's pretty big.
If you look at vitamin E, if youlook at glutathione, you know,
when you look at these sizes andyou compare them to hydrogen,
it's no contest. Hydrogen is so tiny that there's
no place in your body that can hide from it.
(37:30):
It can go anywhere in your body.And to me, hydrogen is light.
You know, it's again, getting very biblical and, and you know,
people talk about living water and they talk about light and
eternal life. And you know, those are very
keywords used in a lot of ancient scriptures.
And basically you're bringing light into the body.
And by the way, your body also produces hydrogen and your
hydrogen production appears to go down as you get older, much
(37:52):
like your stomach acids also go down as you get older.
You can, it's a scientific fact,you guys, you know, anybody can
read about it and ultimately my discoveries, obviously.
So you want to bring those hydrogen levels up.
And I actually, my protocol alsoentails getting the body to
produce more of its own hydrogentoo.
That's part of my, you know, part of my protocol because
hydrogen is so foundational, butthe fact that it's so tiny, it
does appear to function as a antioxidant, whereas oxygen
(38:16):
appears to be an oxidant. So they're, they're literally
polar opposites. And water is H2O.
So you have your antioxidant, you have your oxidant, you know,
water is those two things. So you're extracting the pure
hydrogen is what you're ultimately doing.
And when you do this, yes, it appears to work as an
inflammatory and antioxidant, but that what makes it so
unique. It's not just an antioxidant, It
appears to be a selective antioxidant, very unique and so
(38:39):
tiny that it can literally go all the way to inside the
mitochondria, which you're not going to do with Coq 10, you're
not going to do it with these bigger molecules.
Going to the core of the mitochondria is a really big
deal. In fact, one of the very first
studies was actually from a mitochondrial expert and he saw
the effects of hydrogen on mitochondria.
That's why people get energy from so without caffeine,
(39:00):
without sugar, sugar, without whatever, hydrogen appears to
give people really more energy. And a lot of medical issues,
it's going to be learned more and more.
And I don't think most people realize this.
And even doctors, most medical issues also have to do with like
a dysregulation of your mitochondria and basically
metabolism, so metabolic disorders, metabolic
(39:22):
dysfunction. And so that's one of the reasons
that I believe that it also works.
But I think that we have way ourbodies are so out of balance as
far as oxidation, you know, oxidative stress, Ros, you know,
reactive oxygen species, all this oxygen stuff, right?
You know, these free radicals that create so much damage.
And the Japanese discovered there's so many medical
(39:42):
conditions. They literally had all the
pharmaceutical drugs next to allthese medical conditions.
I was able to see their their charts, the list of
pharmaceuticals next to almost 200 medical conditions.
It was a little under that. The list of pharmaceuticals was
so massive. I mean, it was way bigger than
all the medical conditions. It was so huge because you take
one pill for this, you take another pill for this, or you
take this for a side effect of that and you have all these
(40:03):
pills and then hydrogen. Just one little tiny little
thing they discovered was havinga positive effect on all these
medical conditions, even workingoften times better than the
pharmaceutical itself, and they couldn't understand it.
Even the Japanese were like, this doesn't make any sense.
We have all these drugs to do all these things.
How can one thing do it all? It doesn't make any sense.
But what they ultimately discovered, this is their
(40:24):
discovery that roughly 97 to 98%of all disease comes down to
free radical damage. If you have a lot of free
radicals in your liver, it's going to look like, you know,
some type of liver damage or liver condition.
If you have too many free radicals in the brain, on and on
and on it goes. And hydrogen seems to be really
good at liberating the body of alot of free radicals.
And so it's truly amazing. I mean, truly remarkable.
(40:45):
It's so simple. I mean, it's simple like water,
but it's complex in the sense that you can't just say, oh,
well, water, OK, I'll just drinksome tap water.
And it's like, no, you don't want to drink tap water because
not all water is created equal. And that's also a big message of
mine is that not all hydrogen iscreated equal.
You know, just like all supplements aren't created
equal, just like every vegetablegrown out there is not all
(41:06):
created equal. You know, which one's GMO D
which one are they spraying the crap out of?
You know, you know, there's so many factors.
And so it's it's been an interesting.
So you mentioned mitochondria and I think I teach exercise
Physiology. So we're always talking about
the electron transport chain andhow important that is in NADH
(41:26):
and producing adenosine triphosphate.
So I'm kind of picturing you have these hydrogen ions
transported in the mitochondria without the NAD or the NADH
rather. And that that can actually
produce energy in oven by itself.
Is that kind of what you're talking about is how energy,
cellular energy is produced withhydrogen?
(41:48):
Not really. I think that what's really
happening is anytime your body is bogged down by free radical
damage, your cells are not goingto work properly.
So if you can liberate the cell or even your body, obviously
free radical damage, they start running on all cylinders.
It's kind of like having AV8 carand maybe you're putting crappy
(42:09):
gas, maybe 1 spark plug is old or clogged, you know whatever it
is. But once you eliminate, it's not
that you have to like rebuild the whole engine.
Once you eliminate the very thing that's getting in the way,
now the engine starts running properly again.
You know, that's kind of the waythat I see it because oxidative
stress, again, is a form of oxygen, in my opinion.
This is the way that I that I see it to try to simplify it to
(42:31):
understand is oxygen, hydrogen has an affinity to oxygen.
That's why they produce water, you know, and in fact, hydrogen
carbs, that's one of the things that typically comes out the
tailpipe is water, you know, from using up this, this because
it's a gas that is flammable, right, to produce energy.
And so basically when hydrogen goes in the body, I really think
(42:52):
that the most simple way to put it is I think it just
neutralizes these free radicals,this oxidative stress, and it
just neutralizes it and it turnsto water and the body eliminates
it. It's one of the things that I
found a lot of when I was first starting hydrogen and really
following the proper protocols, not just me across the board,
everybody makes the same comment.
They're like, man, I'm peeing a lot more, a lot more.
(43:14):
And that typically only happens at the beginning, I've noticed
because then once the body starts getting more into
homeostasis and balance, like I'm doing some crazy things with
my body and in regards to like I've been getting a lot of blood
work and the doctors are shocked.
I had this doctor call me after she saw my blood work.
She was a blood specialist of over 30 years.
And she said she'd never called the patient like she was calling
(43:36):
me. She said, I have to call you.
I was real nervous first, as in the medical establishment, we
know that when you get a call, it's typically not good news.
And I thought she was going to give me bad news.
And she said, I'm calling because I have never in my life
seen blood like yours, ever. And she said, it's so
unbelievable I had to call you. She said, I want to know what
you're doing because I want to apply it to my patients.
And then this is when she reallyopens up.
(43:57):
Remember, I told you, a lot of people ask me who are supposed
to understand health. You're a doctor.
Her own daughter was sick, and she couldn't get her daughter
fixed up. And then it turns out that she
was, was having some of her own issues and so many of her
patients and she told me straight up, she said, I'm just
not able to help them. I've tried, I fail.
And I see your blood work and I'm like, how did you accomplish
(44:17):
this? Because a lot of the things that
you're that I can see on your blood work, which by the way,
I'm really big on overcoming what I call nutritional
deficiency because most people aren't even aware that almost
everyone in America is most likely nutritionally deficient
in something. OK, It's very common and it's a
scientific fact. This is why it boggles my mind
(44:38):
that doctors don't talk about this and people are starting to
talk about it more. I've been talking about it for
so many years. I think it finally got out that
we know that when you have certain deficiencies, it can
lead to certain diseases. So like, for example, like
deficiency in vitamin C, you getscurvy, right?
If you in order to fix scurvy, you don't take a pharmaceutical,
you get your vitamin C levels, right and then you're fine.
And I the way that this clicked in my head is I have this body
(45:02):
and I think I don't know if I'm deficient some this was a long
time ago. So I started trying to learn and
understand how to overcome nutritional deficiencies.
The problem is people take like this is what the doctor was
saying. She's like, I get people
vitamins, I get people stuffed. Why are they still deficient?
She said, what are you doing that's so different than what
they're doing? What she didn't realize is that
my protocol. She she actually got really
shocked. I don't like to talk about diet
(45:23):
a lot because people kind of getweird about it.
But she was shocked when she asked me what kind of diet I
eat. And I I don't like to talk about
a lot, but I did tell her some of the stuff I do as far as diet
and I don't eat meat. She just about lost her mind
because he's like, there is it'simpossible.
She says you have to understand that.
She said it's impossible that your blood looks like this and
you don't eat meat. She goes, it's not possible.
(45:44):
And then she said, wait a second, how long have you been
on this diet or whatever? You know, And she said like 6
months. And I'm like, it's really been
more like a decade and she's like a decade.
And see, because what I basically figured out and there
is some science to support this,though a lot of people don't
read about it, I believe. And my thing, my blood work
proves it. I've been able to teach my body.
Did you know your body can produce its own vitamins?
(46:05):
I mean, nuts, nuts, I transform my gut.
It not only helps me produce my own vitamins, certain
percentage, like 30 something odd percent of like maybe some B
vitamins, for example, but I also get my body to be very
efficient at absorbing nutrients, like really
efficient. So I also have very, I have
antiparasitic protocols. In fact, my lifestyle is very
antiparasitic. It's one of the reasons that I
(46:25):
stay away from meat because I'veseen a lot of lab tests on meat
and literally every single test always comes up positive for
fecal matter. You go buy meat anywhere and you
test it, it will come up positive for fecal matter.
And animals are constantly be given typically, you know,
antibiotics, anti parasitics because they're trying to
control these levels. But they've inadvertently
(46:46):
created, in my opinion, based ona lot of research that I've
done, they create super bugs andthey've literally have proof
that some people have eaten, forexample, an animal, a steak or
something. And within 20 to 30 minutes,
those quote UN quote super bacteria or even parasites
already begin to have an effect on the body.
And so I really went a whole different protocol.
(47:07):
And I know some people are like,but I can't survive without
meat. You know, that's fine.
I mean, there are different waysof getting the nutrients from
meat too. For example, broths.
So you can put it in water and you use the magic, again,
water's magic. You can use the water to pull
the nutrients out of the bone, out of the meat.
And I have eaten broths like that.
And so I've done a lot of these things, but in the end, really
(47:28):
caused me to overcome, in my opinion, again, all these
nutritional deficiencies. That's one of the things that
I'd like to get tested for. And that's one of the things
that she noticed. And she said, this is nuts.
I've never seen anybody's blood look like this.
I even had the lab because I used to go in pretty regularly.
They started telling me, did youknow your blood looks different
than everybody else's? And I'm like, it's just red.
She goes, no, after we run you, we get your blood and we put it
(47:49):
with all these other people's blood, you know, because it's
this lab, by the time it gets towherever it's going, they always
notice yours. They said yours looks different
after so much time goes by, likea lot of people's blood is,
there's so much fat in it and even sugar that it looks
different after you give it timeto cool down.
And they said that mine looked just so different that they
(48:10):
start realizing it was the same person.
And that's why they're like, whothe heck is this?
And what the heck is he doing? And the Doctor Who asked me
about it, it was really kind of funny because I didn't want to
explain to her, how am I going to start explaining my
protocols? I mean, I do consults.
I'm very selective about who I do consoles with, but I do
consoles for people who really need to help, who are serious
about transforming their life. You know, my, my, my protocols
are not that strict, but some people just, they don't have any
(48:33):
willpower and they, they just, it's so hard for them to change.
And so I don't like to explain myself to somebody for half an
hour and just waste time. And so this doctor wanted me to
explain things to her. And I was like, I'm not going to
tell you. It's just too time consuming.
But she kept pushing. So I started, I never, I never
got to finish because all I did was start.
And she stopped me. She's like, what?
You got to purify your water like this?
(48:54):
You got to put this hydrogen in it.
I didn't even get into the diet part.
And she stopped me because she said none of my patients are
going to do this. You know, nobody's going to, you
know, start making these changes.
She said, I thought you were just taking some secret
supplement, like some special supplement I thought you were
taking. And I will tell you this, I'm
not actually a big believer in supplements.
This goes contrary to all the other health gurus that are
(49:15):
always are pushing some supplements.
I use virtually almost no supplements.
The only thing that I use primarily is 1.
I use this powder from a companycalled Purium.
I guess if people want to know the website itsishoppurium.com
and I think you get a discount code again with the code
uprising 144K if they want. But the product is called Power
Shape and all it is, is a bunch of super foods in a powder.
(49:39):
But they're really high purity. That's why they call themselves
purium. It has to do with purity because
there's a lot of products out there that I've learned they cut
corners. And yes, that's how you get a
product cheaper. But I wanted the best, you know,
because when it comes to your health, you just can't put a
price on it. So anywho, so that's what I
actually use. I put them in these smoothies
and that's what that's one of the things I use for my
(49:59):
nutrients. So it's just food and I add it
with more food because we already know food's deficient.
You know, the soil's deficient, your minerals are deficient.
So I do all this and then I, I do add vitamin D is the only
thing in its ionic form. It's a specific type of vitamin
D Almost nobody makes it like this very high purity in its
ionic form. And of course is D3 with K2.
(50:21):
And I do and I put it with some other things.
I create this whole little, I create a smoothie, a special
smoothie and between the clean water, the hydrogen, and he's
like super smoothies that I make.
That's the magic. It's not super complicated, but
it does take, you know, 2025 minutes every morning.
I go through this process of making my smoothies and drinking
(50:42):
my water and all this type of stuff.
And I never would have expected it to work the way it did.
I mean, all the science made a lot of sense.
In fact, some of the stuff I wasdoing, there was no science yet.
Now there is so I think it's kind of ironic that a lot of the
stuff that I've been doing for years is now being studied and
proving that I was right kind ofall along.
Because one of the things that Ido is I have minerals that has
they extract almost all the salt.
(51:03):
See, people are really big on salt.
I'm actually, the data doesn't show that salt is that good to
you? Pardon.
You know, the Japanese have a lot of data on salt and the data
is like clear as day, but minerals are good.
And that's what Japanese have realized.
It's the minerals that you want.And so I get this product that
they extract almost all the salt, but they keep all the
minerals. And I was putting those minerals
in my smoothie. See, most people think that you
(51:24):
got to put it in your water. The reason that I put it in the
smoothie is because they actually interact with the fiber
of the food that I'm putting in the smoothie.
And now the data shows, it's kind of ironic, a study that
they did on exactly what I was doing, I couldn't believe I
found a study that literally like, it's like they copied my
videos And basically what it showed was they were shocked.
They didn't expect the result because they were looking for
something else, but they found that people's bones were
(51:46):
rebuilding. And like, how are people's bones
rebuilding? And part of the magic of
nutrient absorption, yes, it's the hydrogen, yes, it's
hydration with clean water. But fiber is the secret and not
a fiber supplement, but like actual food.
So I, you know, I cut up carrots, I cut up celery, I cut
up beets, I put a bunch of greens.
I, I make this smoothie concoction that fills me up,
(52:07):
tastes really good, full of fiber, full of minerals, full of
vitamins. And that's really been one of
the huge secrets. And it is so good for your gut
flora. And so that's, that's a huge
part of how I've done a lot of those transformations.
So what about hormone imbalancesin the endocrine system and the
endocrine health? How can hydrogen therapy assist
in managing the endocrine system?
(52:28):
Well, I believe there's actuallyis already data on that.
Also I haven't like specificallyread that data that much because
I was kind of focused on other things.
Do you know, by the way, do you know some of the diseases that
that endocrine problems cause? A lot of them.
And, and you know, the big question would be, is it free
(52:48):
radicals that are causing the problem?
So we go back to that, see what I mean?
It to me, it really ends up being a lot about free radicals
and really a lot to do with yourgut, your gut and purity.
Purity is so big, I can't emphasize it enough.
I mean, I used to be one of those guys, to be honest.
I used to go, I was living off of $0.99 cheeseburgers.
That was me, you know, or $0.99 chicken burger or whatever.
(53:11):
I would always swing by McDonald's or Burger King.
That was basically the way that I lived.
And I was obviously super broke,you know, when I was young and
you're just trying to buy something cheap that fills you
up And, and that's just the way that I was living now.
I mean, I would have never wanted to buy greens.
Like just a little thing of greens cost me more than a
hamburger. I would have never done that in
my life. I'm like, I'm not just going to
sit there and eat these greens. Who does that?
(53:31):
That's why I created a smoothie,by the way, because there's no
way I would eat all that stuff. So I put it all in the smoothie
and ironically, it, it really worked and I tried juicing and
I'm not going to say I'm againstit, but I never do it because
juicing is super expensive. You have to buy massive amounts
of produce and you're getting rid of all the fiber, all this
magic, you know. And so I, I'm not a huge fan of
juicing. I mean, they're great and I'll
have one once in a while, but I prefer the smoothies with all
(53:54):
this stuff. And, and I think that I, I buy
everything literally as much as I can organic.
It's got to be organic. I want to avoid the pesticides,
you know, the herbicides. And I believe that was a huge
part of my protocol too, is justtrying to purify this garbage
out of the body again, fix all those nutritional deficiencies,
be hydrated with clean water that's not full of.
(54:15):
I mean, if, if I were to go overthese lab tests in, in more
detail, all the stuff that you would see is just mind boggling.
You're like, we're drinking thisstuff every day.
You know, it's just, I think it's insane really.
I mean, and then people wonder why they get sick.
I mean, nobody would have. Most people don't really think
they, you know, I've talked to so many people who also say, oh,
I'm on well water. I just had this conversation on
(54:36):
another consult I did yesterday.I'm on well water.
It's a really great well. It must be great.
Of all the lab reports that I'veseen in different waters
throughout the nation, well water test the worst.
That's like the worst. It's so shocking.
I thought it was going to test the best, but This is why we
have to look at data, right? And so I was shocked to find out
that well water, I saw the worstresults.
(54:57):
And you really want to purify whatever water you get, in my
opinion, these days, I was running through my carbon
distiller to really purify the water the way that nature does
it and science backs it up. And and so I really think that
that would have a very positive effect.
On the industry, the water I hadwhen I was an undergrad, I
actually started in geology before I discovered exercise
(55:18):
Physiology. And I did my geology field camp
in the Greenbrier Mountains in West Virginia down near
Bluefield, Bluefield, WV. And we used to fill our canteens
up in this pipe sticking right into the limestone in the
mountain. I mean, literally the purest
water coming out through the mountain that you could possibly
drink. I don't know if that's now the
(55:39):
purest as I listen to you talk, but it was pretty darn good
water. And I'm just curious how pure
that was relative to how pure water can actually be.
It's definitely never going to be as pure as if you run it
through a carbon distiller, because nature can do the
process that I talk, talk about the distillation process.
The problem is 1, we have a lot of pollutants in, in the
(56:03):
atmosphere and, and that does the rain and snow does pick that
up. You know, that's one thing.
That's just one. Then you have a lot of animals.
So animals defecate, you know, they, they have a lot of
parasites by the way, and those and, and feces and these things
do actually get in the water. And so the water could
potentially be pretty good, pretty clean, you know, pretty
(56:25):
awesome. I, I've done that myself in the
past, drinking from supposedly some of the cleanest wells.
But like I said, ever since I started really looking at the
data, I always run it through a carbon distiller now and it's
been transforming. Not only that, think about this
for a second. Let's just say there is some
magical well or mountain water somewhere.
Most people don't have access tothat, right?
(56:47):
The good news is that the carbondistillers, at least the ones I
use, they're not Chinese. They are.
I do use, they're a little more expensive, but because they're
American and they're of higher quality and they don't break all
the time like the Chinese ones. And so I just bought a really
good one and I literally run it like almost 24/7 that things
always making me water. I mean, it takes three to six
hours to purify 1 gallon of water.
(57:07):
So any, any water filter that you have that just gives you the
water immediately. There's just no way that it
could purify completely in one second as compared to a carbon
distiller. It takes hours, you know, one
drop at a time. And so I'm really, really picky
about my water, you know, obviously.
And I, and I am kind of a germaphobe.
And so understanding what's in my water and, and what's going
(57:28):
in my mouth and in my body, it'sjust, you know, and I did so
many, like even through this process, I went through a lot of
cleansings. I was surprised.
The stuff that came out of me, again, me being a skeptic, I'm
like, there's no way nothing's going to come out.
Oh, yeah, things come out of you.
And it's borderline disturbing. And I remember feeling this is
another one of my theories. And there's data to back it up.
The Japanese have extensive knowledge on parasites.
(57:50):
And when the more I cleansed my body and got these things out
and I felt so much sharper, I felt, I literally felt, I
remember one time literally whenit came out of me, it, it was
like instantaneous. It was like something had
unplugged from your brain And I just felt different.
And it was so obvious for a guy who's as skeptical as I am, it,
(58:10):
it was very, very impressive. And I was shocked.
And and then I proceeded to learn everything about
parasites, you know, and I don'teven know if you're allowed to
talk about, are you allowed to talk about like the Ivor neck?
I think we can talk about anything we want on the podcast
as long as we're not making any medical claims and that kind of
stuff, so. OK, yeah, I'm not going to, I'll
make any claims. But what I will say because
(58:31):
people don't understand this, ivermectin was not, it was never
ivermectin. It it was actually something
else before that. So people don't know that it was
actually something called ivermectin and it was the
Japanese again who created this.They actually transformed
ivermectin with hydrogen, by theway.
It was hydrogen that transformedit into ivermectin as we know it
(58:52):
today. And there's a whole history
about it that's really quite fascinating.
I actually, I'm quite the expertin that one too, because I
learned everything about so I, Ieducated myself and I, I learned
everything about anti parasitics, how they work.
I was actually the very first person to say that it could
potentially be good for some of the things that's being used for
these days, which I'm not going to name.
(59:13):
I actually did that on another show.
It was kind of a funny show because it was, they thought I
was, they think I'm a prophet. I know that sounds kind of wild
because the reason that this particular show thought I'm a
prophet is because I've made predictions and then they ended
up coming in true. And so the show's all about
profits and they were like, man,we got to have you on the show
because you're literally saying that things were going to happen
(59:34):
and they did. And by the way, I have way more
to come. Like I have a lot of, I don't
like to call them prophecies, but a prediction.
I have a lot of predictions thatI feel extremely confident
about. I know what's coming, you know,
and it, and I don't know why it's so obvious to me.
Sometimes I honestly feel like it's the hydrogen because I
believe that hydrogen transgresses time and space.
It was literally, I mean, from the very beginning of all of
(59:54):
creation. I mean, again, all the stars
were made of hydrogen and there's information in hydrogen,
there's information in water. We just haven't learned how to
tap into it. That's really what it comes down
to. And me having these experiences,
I'm like, man, I'm going to sound like a looney tune because
I'm a, I'm a real data guy. And here I'm talking about water
talking to me, you know, it's ridiculous.
But again, that's why I showed you that that book, which by the
(01:00:15):
way, many years after the fact, that everybody called that guy
crazy. They started realizing that it
was legitimate. People have been able to, you
know, repeat his work and, and it and it's it's really pretty
impressive. And so anyway, now, now I'm kind
of forgot your original question.
If I don't know if I answered itor if I what happened?
I think we did, yeah. I kind of lost my question as
(01:00:38):
well, so that's quite all right.So there are a lot of hydrogen
water and inhalation devices that are out on the market.
What should somebody look for when they're shopping for
hydrogen generator? Well, first, you always want to
check the metal that they use. If they use stainless steel,
stay away. That's probably the one of the
worst ones. You can use any gold.
(01:01:00):
I actually, I stay away from those two ironically because I
learned the Japanese actually tried to use gold and they
didn't. They found that it wasn't the
best plated metals. I stay with anything with plated
metals or literally anything from China.
I haven't seen one good machine and I I've pretty much have seen
them all. They're all everybody out there
is making the machines the same way.
And those are the big things to look out for.
(01:01:22):
I definitely would stay away from any like hydrogen tablets
or even these bottles. You know, it's funny, my own
viewers get upset at me because they're like, please recommend a
bottle for God's sakes. And I'm telling you, companies
would love me to recommend theseand I'm sure there's a lot of
money to be made, but why would I recommend something that I
don't use for a good reason and then recommend it?
I don't, I can't do that. I'm not going to be like
(01:01:43):
everybody else. You know, I'm just, I'm not
going to do it. I don't care how much money they
offer me because I know how they're making hydrogen with
those. And I know that the Japanese
actually attempted to make the best hydrogen bottle in the
world. Same company, actually, same
company that makes the best hydrogen machine, which they do
everything in my opinion correctly based on all the data,
which is again, the holy hydrogen one.
(01:02:03):
That's the one. Because all there's all there.
Honestly, this is really kind ofcrazy.
But in my personal opinion, there's only like 3 good
hydrogen machines out there. There's literally thousands of
them and only three of them are any good in my opinion.
And that's how bad it is. And that goes a lot for like
even water filters. I've had laboratories contact me
and I've learned a lot. As far as like I remember, they
(01:02:24):
were telling me how many water filters they've tested and how
they find contaminants and the filters themselves that are
supposed to be cleaning your water and the water will have
potentially certain contaminantsin it, even though it's
eliminating other potential, youknow, other potential
contaminants. And that's why carbon
distillation pretty much uses almost no filter.
So typically what I do personally is I'll take water
(01:02:45):
from a reverse osmosis system because they're really cheap.
And then I run it through my distiller and I can remove the
carbon part and then it's just cheaper and it keeps my
distiller clean. I never have to maintain the
thing. I've never, I've never cleaned
it once and still doesn't need it.
I've checked it all the time. And then your water is just
ultra pristine. But those are the things to look
out for if you if a hydrogen machine mixes oxygen and
(01:03:06):
hydrogen, they call it Browns gas.
I highly do not recommend that either.
And there's a lot of claims about that one.
That's not what the professionals use in Japan.
You know, it's medical grade hydrogen gas, That's it.
And then they also use sometimesmedical grade oxygen if a
patient needs it for whatever reason, But they don't start,
you know, mixing them and producing them together with
(01:03:26):
potential impurities. But anything that uses something
called Lye or sodium hydroxide to produce their hydrogen, no,
that's not something I would at all do.
That's I think I've seen machines do that.
I think it's kind of that's the main ingredient in Drano.
They even they even use it now to dissolve human bodies.
Yes, the cartels have done it, but I can't even say the word
(01:03:47):
mortuaries. You know, when when people pass
away, it's one of the options that they even provide now is to
use Lye to dissolve the body andand people use it to make
hydrogen. I just think it's insane.
That's when you have a lack of technology.
And that's why look, the technology is going to be a
little more expensive to do it right.
Like a lot of things, it costs money to do it the right way.
But the good news is, I mean, itused to be crazy expensive if
(01:04:10):
you wanted to do it the right way.
And because of the Japanese and mass production and all that
stuff, they really helped make it extremely affordable.
So we're not talking twenty $30,000, you know, I think we're
talking somewhere in the neighborhood of like 2500 bucks
or something, which is for a machine that that makes both
hydrogen water by the way, and hydrogen gas inhalation, that's
a big deal too. Most devices only do one or the
(01:04:32):
other. And then you get into nano
bubbles. Almost nobody talks about that
either. The Japanese make the holy
hydrogen device makes literally the best nanobubbles in the
world in my opinion, again basedon the metal technology that
they use and also the membrane technology.
But also the computer is important.
The computer is like crazy expensive, apparently because of
the way that it has to regulate electrical current.
(01:04:53):
You don't want spikes because these spikes basically can cause
damage to these plated metals, to the membranes that they're
using. And I don't know what do you
think would happen if you get a spike in electricity and you're
using inferior parts and dysregulation and?
They're going to leak some of your metals and impurities into
the water. Well, that would be my concern,
So I'm not making claims, but that's the concern.
(01:05:14):
And of course, I've seen lab reports on inferior cheap
membranes too. And once I saw what was in
those, you know, I was like, OK,this is nuts.
So we have a whole industry that's selling all these
products that I would never use.You couldn't pay me to use them.
You know, there's no way. I want high purity of my water,
(01:05:35):
of my hydrogen, of my food, of my air.
Air is the one thing that is very hard to control.
I mean, you can get certain air filters for the house and stuff,
but you're out and about, you know, that's a tough one, but
everything else is, is the way that I really thought about.
So you mentioned both drinking hydrogen water but also inhaling
hydrogen gas. Are they both essential, or is
(01:05:58):
one more optimal than another? So the way that I would, that's
a really good question too, by the way.
It's important because the data is so shocking because the
doctors or scientists originallythought that inhaling the
hydrogen gas would be way betterbecause you get way more of it.
Everybody's so obsessed with crazy high levels of hydrogen,
(01:06:18):
but that doesn't even really appear to be what really is the
best way to do it. That's what I've learned and,
and what they do actually. And again, the University
Hospitals and also just following the data for myself.
But they found that the water often times actually really
works better, even though it hasless hydrogen in it.
So there's a magical part about the water.
So for me, the hydrogen water isabsolutely foundational.
(01:06:39):
Clean water with hydrogen foundational.
The inhalation is another thing that you can do to take it to
the next level. But I do like it a lot because
of the way that it affects the lungs, the sinuses, the eyes,
the brain. But I've created a protocol
where both is what I basically the protocol that I created.
And then it was copied. It was kind of ironic because no
(01:07:01):
specialist, no scientist, nobodyin the world had ever even
thought of doing what I did apparently.
And then they copied it and theydid some studies on it and it
proved that I was right. It was, it proved that basically
if you use the hydrogen water 1st and then do hydrogen
galation afterwards, it actuallyenhances the benefits of
hydrogen and does more than either one of these could do on
(01:07:21):
their own. Kind of like think about water,
just just in general. Water is made-up of two gases
made of oxygen and hydrogen. So who would have thought that
you put two gases together and all of a sudden you got liquid,
you know, So sometimes the, you know, two things together can be
greater than what do they call the sum of those parts or
however that saying goes. So yeah, I like both, but if
(01:07:42):
you're going to only do one, I definitely go water.
I don't go in like, oh, I'll just do a bunch of inhalation.
No, it always starts with water.So for any of our listeners or
viewers who are curious about hydrogen therapy, what advice
would you give them about starting or knowing where to
start? Well, first you can obviously
watch my YouTube channel. Everything's there for free.
(01:08:04):
Uprising 144K is the name of thechannel.
And the biggest advice that I would say is don't try to cut
corners because I've seen it a million times.
Actually, people like, oh, let me just start with the tablets.
They're cheap, right? Let me just start with a cheap
little bottle. Let me just see if I get if I
feel anything. I really think that if it's kind
of like water, clean water also like if you're going to go for
(01:08:25):
it, go for the best. Don't bother.
I mean, I remember I worked witha woman who had diabetes and she
had tried the tablets. She had tried the little bottles
that I've shown you and she just, she was going to give up.
She said they didn't do anythingfor her.
She said maybe she saw a tiny little difference on her blood
glucose. Maybe she didn't really know if
it was the hydrogen doing that, but she was going to give up.
(01:08:46):
She found my channel and she ended up, she said, man, it was
it was a big jump to go from these cheap little items to
something that's a little over $2000.
And she said, but I took the plunge because I heard heard you
talk about this. And she said it was
unbelievable. She said the results that I got
were so good that even her doctor, she actually sent me her
medical records and I did a video on her story and I talked
(01:09:08):
to her a lot because I helped itwith protocols.
And the doctor couldn't believe it.
He literally said that what he was witnessing was worthy of a
Nobel Prize. That's what he's told her.
And he said, how did you learn how to do this?
And she said, well, there's thisguy on YouTube.
And he's like, there is no way there's this guy on YouTube.
And by the way, this was years ago.
It wasn't recent. And he just couldn't believe it.
We were able to achieve she had type 1 diabetes.
(01:09:30):
So type 1 diabetes. I mean, you need insulin.
You'll die if you don't have your insulin.
She was able to go 4 1/2 months without insulin and the doctor
said that's impossible. And you know how many times I've
heard a doctor say that now it's, it's, I can't even
remember anymore. He's always like, this is
impossible. How are you doing it?
And some doctors, it's always funny because some doctors
really want to know. And then you get a Doctor Who's
(01:09:50):
like, oh, you're better next. Like they don't even care.
They don't even care how they got better.
They don't even ask questions. So it's really interesting
throughout all these years that I've been doing this to see
different doctors react and different, you know, supposed
bio hackers and all, you know, all this kind of stuff.
So. Or are there any specific health
or medical conditions that someone should exercise caution
(01:10:13):
and really consult their doctor before starting hydrogen
therapy? Absolutely.
I'm so glad you asked this question too, actually.
Yes, yes, yes. You want to you definitely.
OK, so obviously you want to consult your physician.
Let's hope that they understand hydrogen, but they probably
don't. But yeah, still consult your
physician because this is what'sgoing to happen.
I've seen it happen a million times.
(01:10:35):
I'm not making claims, I'm just sharing some stuff that I've
seen. But so I've seen people with,
for example, they're, they have high blood pressure and they're
taking a medication to keep it at a certain level where
everybody's happy, doctors happy, patients happy.
You start doing hydrogen and what do you think happens?
One, your body is starting to, in my opinion, repair and your
blood pressure is now going too low because you're taking a drug
(01:10:56):
that lowers it. And on top of that, your body
becomes very efficient. So, and, and like I said, I can
absorb nutrients, you know, really efficiently.
And so you start utilizing potentially this medicine more
efficiently and it's working even better than it should and
your blood pressure goes too low.
And that's the problem. And I always tell people, I
said, if you're going to start hydrogen, if you're on any
pharmaceuticals, like for blood pressure, diabetes, you know,
(01:11:19):
monitor your levels, please, forthe love of God, monitor your
blood pressure, monitor your blood glucose, monitor your
cholesterol level, whatever it is.
Because what's going to happen if you're doing the right type
of hydrogen and, and you're using it correctly, also proper
protocol. Otherwise you won't see pretty
much anything. I've seen that before too.
Your, your doctor's going to start adjusting your
(01:11:39):
pharmaceutical drugs. So he's, you know, the same
thing actually happened with my mom where basically they're
like, oh, you know, your blood pressure's getting too low.
Let's back off on the medicine. And then all of a sudden a
little later, oh, it's still going a little too low.
Let's back off and eventually I've seen a lot of people get
off pharmaceuticals. I've seen this a lot.
And and so again, really shocking.
You know, you and I are on the show and you have all these
(01:11:59):
professional medical doctors that went to school forever and
and they can't seem to figure itout.
And it's kind of hilarious at this point, right?
That a YouTube guy and just my journey brought me to this.
I just never would have thought it in a million years.
But yes, I would caution people and and also if you have kidney
issues, I mean, think about that.
If you have kidney issues and you can't drink a ton of water
because you know of your kidneys.
So that's something that you'd want to consider also.
(01:12:21):
And that's where I like to use, I kind of go to the, I have a
special protocol for that too, in, in regards to getting enough
hydrogen in you when you're limited on water.
So stuff like that. And if people, only people who
are very serious, I, I, again, Ido consults with and if they
really want to, they can e-mail me if they want.
But again, just know that you'regoing to have to be serious.
I don't work with people who aren't serious anymore.
(01:12:42):
I've done it. It was a massive waste of my
time. You know, I don't really do this
for the money. So it's not like I just want to,
I'm not like a Doctor Who's like, just get them in here and
get them out of there, you know,and that's not what I do.
I really give a lot of my time to the individual and I care a
great deal about people. And I know from my own personal
experience, medical issues ruin your life.
I mean, that's what it did with me.
I mean, they can, they can ruin your life.
(01:13:03):
I mean, I lost if I I mean, if Ibegin to tell you everything
that I lost, it's like an old country song and it, and it's a
very sad story and I wasn't happy that I went through it.
But if I can make lemonade out of lemons, as they say, then
it's something that, you know, fills my heart and soul with,
you know, some joy and purpose all.
Right. So besides hydrogen therapy and
(01:13:24):
you mentioned diet a little bit,what else are you doing
personally to age well? You know, just sleeping good
again, eating more cleanly and eating better.
Little exercise, of course, nothing crazy.
And like I said, I mean, hydrogen is the big one.
You know, this study would probably really you'd love this
for your show. Actually, they did a really cool
(01:13:45):
study in Japan where they, they can actually they take your
blood and they tell you roughly what your they can see what your
age is roughly by looking at your blood.
And so they did this with a study in Japan on this guy.
They told him do not change anything in your lifestyle.
Don't change the way you eat, don't change the way any nothing
at all. The only thing we want you to do
is drink this hydrogen water every single day, you know,
(01:14:08):
specific protocol. And they took his blood before
he started. Then he did this for one year,
by the way. And then he had his blood tested
a year later and his blood was five years younger.
And he didn't change anything except just hydrogen water.
He didn't even do inhalation or anything else.
But it was extremely impressive and to if if possibly the
greatest things I do for anti aging are probably hydrogen and
(01:14:28):
sleep. Those are probably the big ones,
you know, so. Well, where can our listeners
find you, your resources and anymore information on like Holy
Hydrogen, any of the products that you might want to recommend
they look into? So like I said, you know, the
carbon distillers from mypurewater.com, the hydrogen
machine is from holyhydrogen.com.
(01:14:49):
This is what I personally use for good reason.
So I've done all the research. And then beyond that, you know,
there's a blender and the powderfrom Purium.
I mean, some pretty simple things and people can find me.
I mean, if people really want tosupport what I'm doing, which
obviously I would appreciate, and they can support it for
free. All they have to do is go to
YouTube and subscribe. And if they want to watch videos
and give videos a thumbs up, that's obviously great.
(01:15:11):
Put a comment there. But people can find me also on
Twitter, otherwise known as X Obviously that really helps
because to have those followers,my channel, you know, has been
attacked multiple times. So there's a very strong
probability that it's going to be taken down.
And so, you know, once this happens, you know, the only way
you're going to find me is if you also are following me on
Twitter and or rumble and also Instagram.
(01:15:34):
So I'm trying to put myself on all these different places.
So when people lose track of me for whatever reason, maybe it
maybe something else happened with the channel, but they can
find me and and then just e-mailme too my emails
uprising144k@gmail.com. You know, for people who
sometimes have questions or do want, you know, a personal
consult where they're like, Hey,I want you know what, what do
(01:15:55):
they call it? Special help basically like
hold, hold my hand, you know, hold my hand and really guide me
and help me in in what, what youthink I would have to do or
something along those lines. This was fascinating.
I've learned a lot about hydrogen today.
I obviously have a lot more to learn, so I'm going to have to
do some investigation, dive intothe journals a little bit, and I
just appreciate your time today.Thank you for doing what you're
(01:16:18):
doing and just keep aging well. Thank you so much and really
appreciate you having me on. And I hope that this reaches
even if it just reaches one person that it can help and
change their life. That's always that's always
something. So you're welcome.
Thanks for having me on, Jeff. Thank you for listening.
Hope you benefited from today's podcast and until next time,
keep aging well.
