In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Brian Clement, a pioneer in natural healing and co-director of the world-renowned Hippocrates Wellness Institute.
With over four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Clement shares what he’s learned from working with tens of thousands of individuals—especially those recovering from chronic illness and cancer—through raw plant-based nutrition, detoxification, and emotional healing.
We explore the dangers of synthetic supplements, the critical role of whole foods and live enzymes, and how consciousness, spirituality, and lifestyle all intersect with our ability to heal.
You’ll walk away from this episode inspired, informed, and empowered to take your health into your own hands.
Key Takeaways
Synthetic supplements often do more harm than good—whole foods are the real medicine
Raw, living foods provide the enzymes and electrical energy the body needs to regenerate
Emotional trauma and stress are often the hidden root causes of disease
The body is designed to heal when supported properly through food, mindset, and detox
Real healing isn’t a pill—it’s a lifestyle

Hi, I'm Crystal. And I'm Michael, and we're the
founders of Super Plans. If you're ready to improve your
health and live a life you love,hit subscribe and let's get
started. Welcome to Super Health podcast.
Welcome everybody to the Super Life podcast.
We're super excited today to talk about the world renowned
(00:29):
scientists, nutritionists, health advocates, Doctor Brian
Clement. We're sitting actually here at
the Hippocratus Health Instituteand the Cratus Wellness in
Florida. Doctor Brian Clement has been
here for 50 years doing this healing.
People talking about longevity. And.
He's been talking about supplements soon for a long
(00:49):
time, so we want to bring him infor all of you to understand the
supplement stream and more. And he has wrote and written a
book about it. It's called supplements exposed
High recommended. We'll link it up here.
Doctor Benjamin, welcome to it's.
Nice to be with you, A. Lot of people always ask us when
we when we first get started with super foods but also now
with supplements are wide ready supplements.
(01:13):
Why would it eat it? Well, let's start.
I mean, I think that we have been trained by the
pharmaceutical industries in oursociety to think that you have
to hit a wall before you wake up.
You have to lack something before you wake up.
One small example, for the last 40 years, I, Anna Maria and I
(01:34):
have been testing sophisticatedly our nutritional
profile. We have not lacked anything.
But this morning, as every morning except first day of
fasting, I get up and take 39 supplements.
So let's start with that so you don't have to hit a wall or
require something to have extra energy, extra mentality, extra
(01:58):
vitality, and most important, sexuality.
What else? And let's go back and review a
little bit of what happened to me.
So I was sort of new in this. I started in the summer of 69
and I had a wonderful, wonderfulmentor who was a 75 year old
(02:19):
woman but healed herself of cancer with plants.
To me, I suspected she was lyingbecause everyone I ever knew
that had cancer ended up dead. I would go to their funeral, to
their wake. That's what the Irish call it.
And slowly but surely I met other friends of hers and she
(02:41):
brought me into hellstones. I didn't know anything like that
existed to the Academy and thereweren't many that were all very
small. And everyone at that point that
procured a health store, owned one, had a story that, you know,
something miraculous happened tothem.
At the same point I was at university taking basic science
(03:01):
courses. And she said continue to do that
because there's no formal place in 1970 to learn this.
And today in 2025, there's no formal place except one place
that I helped to create in Europe, Lithuania.
We can get a master's degree or doctorate's degree in lifestyle.
(03:21):
That's no place else on the planet.
Why? It's the governments in cahoots
for the Pharmaceutical industry.So this leads me to 45 years ago
and I'm really steeped in and I'm thinking, Oh my God, back in
those days when it came to plantbased diets, we didn't know
much. The Bible was a little book
(03:41):
called, I don't even remember what it was called, to be honest
with you. That's a that was it was a long
time ago. And it was really saying that
you had to mix beans and rice together to get complete
proteins, and it was really hardto do.
And everyone lacked B12. And.
Yeah. So I bought into that business.
(04:01):
And then all at once, they started to say, well, how do I
know the supplements are what they say they are?
Yeah. So I did a very deep dive to the
eyes of scientists and realize shortly that over 90% of
supplements are damaging to take, dangerous to take, and not
even close to what they're saying they are.
(04:23):
So if you're out there buying supplements #1 the best way to
think about it is that they're not food if they're not raw and
non processed, and if they're not organic, you don't even
touch them. At least they honestly admit
that on the bottle. It's such a huge industry by one
(04:43):
of the world's biggest industries and one of the
world's least regulated. Lawyers.
Right. People can say whatever they
want about the supplements. In fact, etcetera.
One step back, you started supplementing very early on,
although you were on a very healthy diet because you wanted
to get the extra energy, the extra vitamins.
(05:05):
Tell us about that. Why?
Why people think sometimes, oh, I just, I'm just eating the
rainbow. I never need to eat some of
them. Well, actually for the 1st 5 or
6 years I did it. I believe that.
And then they made a big mistake.
They invited me in 1980 to become the director of
Hippocrates and overnight I became very serious about my
(05:29):
obligation to the people that come here and the people I
address all over the globe and write books for.
And I recognize that there's this concept because of the meat
and dairy industry. If you're not eating meat and
dairy, you're literally going tostarve to death.
So what are we going to do to substitute?
And so that's where a lot of yousay, well, if I'm eating plants,
(05:51):
which are the ultimate way to eat, and I'll explain why that's
a fact, not an opinion. Why would I need supplements?
So now I bring in something likeblood test.
I start looking at them. I'm not only fortunate to work
with people who are really sick and help them reverse it and the
aging process, but I'm also fortunate that we're sort of the
(06:13):
Mecca for well seasoned people. So people have been doing this
for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years, and we're doing tests on
them. Some of them are lacking certain
nutrients and we'll talk about those nutrients.
So I recognize that there was a real role and a place for food
based organic living supplements.
Yeah. But again, that's a very small,
(06:34):
about 4% or so on the marketplace.
Yeah. Yeah.
Now let's move forward. Who is behind the supplement
industry, the Pharmaceutical industry, They've always played
the game from the dawn of, quote, civilization.
I'm still waiting for divide andconquer.
(06:54):
So they create one political party, the next political party,
the blacks and the whites, the Jews and the Muslims.
And they keep us all out of balance at that point so that
you don't know what to think, you don't know what to do, and
you have insecurity. So you'll go along with the
program, and most of you are really good at that.
So the program means you've got to take supplements because the
(07:15):
way you're eating certainly couldn't feed you.
The Hippocrates Raw Living Food Diet provides hands down, by
far, overwhelmingly the most nutrition and all in the world.
That's why the top athletes eat this way.
That's why Hollywood sends the movie stars to this institute
where we are to get trained because they do it half the
(07:37):
time. So this is not an innuendo or an
opinion or arrogance. This is really Clear History
we're talking about. Now.
The second thing you have to know is that every single
creature on the planet, every species on the planet except
humans in nature, eat 100% raw diet.
I want you to understand what I say.
(07:59):
If English is not your first language, I'm going to go very
slow, especially we share the planet with eight million other
species that we know of. There's probably another 4
million we haven't identified and we're killing off 100% of
those species in their natural setting.
Eat 100% raw diet. The only species that chooses to
(08:21):
cook our food is your species. Now that's a great thought and
overwhelming. Now my question is, do you think
we got it wrong for 8 million other species got it wrong and
the universe got it wrong? Well, I'll vote for the
universe. And again #2 our founder who in
(08:43):
1952 reversed advanced stage 4 cancer after the Harvard doctors
in America, Harvard's like, you know, the God said you're going
to die. She instinctually, because she
wasn't a scientist, she was a, aLithuanian immigrant to the
United States, instinctually knew you'd put people on a road
(09:03):
diet, how she dealed her calf. She would go out and pick weeds
and eat grains and people thought she's completely nuts.
And she disproved the Harvard Dr. itself and basically have
fed people this way since 1956. Well.
The weakress is is almost like asupplement like the weakress
(09:23):
shots. The weakress powder of people
that have shots right? It's so powerful.
Some of these natural ingredients are so powerful.
They act like supplements. I want to you, you mentioned a
lot of people also, right? Don't eat healthy in general.
Most vegans don't eat that. Exactly what's vegans are
healthy? I mean the American population
(09:44):
right is not healthy in general when from Germany they're not
healthy, right? Our regular diets are unhealthy.
So even there, the supplements are even more.
Important, yes. Right.
Then for people who eat very healthy, which can still be
important, but right And so supplement also is, is necessary
because our soils are not safe, right.
(10:05):
Even if you eat a lot of vegetables, listening to this
and thinking, oh, is it really for me?
Yeah, you most like you're not getting enough from the fruits
and vegetables you're eating, you're buying in the grocery
stores, etcetera. In 1987, there was an
international Congress in Brazilbecause the governments then
were so legitimate, unlike today, that they were concerned
(10:27):
about soil depletion in your country.
It had been depleted 85% in lessthan a century, This country,
88%. Now we assume that.
I haven't seen the latest data. It's over 90% now.
Let's explain to the listeners what we're saying.
Yeah. Topsoil is why you're alive.
(10:47):
And what creates topsoil is called worm poop.
So these little innocent worms that you don't have any respect
for basically keep you alive. They've killed the worms with
pesticides, fungicides, or besides.
They've not allow healthy roots to get into the soil.
So now the soil washes away. It's in our rivers, streams,
(11:08):
oceans, etcetera. And more important than all of
that, in 1987 they said there's going to be an International
Crisis of bound nutrition. That's a long time ago, people.
Has anything been done? No, it's getting worse.
So if you're not getting things from organic food, yes, organic
(11:28):
food. Now Britain, there's small
organic eco farmers all over theworld.
If you go to that woman or that man that has organic soil,
you're going to get nutrition. But when you go to the shop and
you buy organic food that was growing on thousands and
thousands of acres in a place like California or Spain, I
(11:48):
promise you that food has no more nutrition than commercial
food. Now, I will never feed anyone
anything but organic food. Last year I spent on this campus
two and a half million dollars on organic food to feed people.
But do I really think what I buyfrom California organic large
farms is that nutritious? No, it's familiar.
So I give it to you, when you grow germinated, sprouted nuts,
(12:13):
seeds, grains of beets in your house for pennies anywhere in
the world, that's what you get less nutrition for.
Now, in spite of that, this is by far the most nutritious food,
highest protein food in the world.
You still, because you've had long term lack of nutrition,
need some supplements. Or like me, I don't need the
(12:34):
supplement. But tonight, I'll end the night
at 9:00 after I play rock music for a while as a drummer.
This morning I woke up at 5:00. I studied science for two hours
and I wrote for one hour. Not because I'm telling you how
how impressive that is. That's what I want to do.
(12:54):
This turns. I don't do anything that doesn't
turn me on. And you have the energy for it
of. Course, and if you don't have
energy for it, you can't do it. Exactly.
And that's what we're always talking about, right?
Eat plants, feed a life, have supplements, feel like so we can
do the things because you have the energy for the things you
want. To do don't get stuck on the
food, you know? Yeah, we the food becomes the
altar of God. Food is like going to the
(13:16):
gasoline pump and putting petrolin.
Yeah, get over the food. Just eat this way so that you
have an emotionally happy life, a family life, a spiritual life,
energy. You're never getting old the day
that you die. Hopefully my, one of my latest
books is How to Live 220 and I really mean it.
Basically you should be running that day, go to bed, not head
(13:39):
pain and not wake up. And then go out.
That's it. Well fed and dead.
Exactly. You're talking about the
Pharmaceutical industry, and I think it's so funny.
Or. Not funny at all, actually, but
how they right can the full manipulate of how they're the
full circle right? They're they own the pesticides
(14:00):
companies for less companies, right?
They run your. Countries right exactly and
they're they're right. They give you the supplements
right to combat that right and then they they give you right
the the itch more later say she sees us all the other
pharmaceuticals right so it's a full cycle.
We have to step out. Tell us how, how are companies
(14:24):
getting away with that, right? And what are the really The
Dirty truths of some of these? Because when you go in the
store, you're overwhelmed with the peripheral off right, All
the multivitamins, all the and they all say natural.
Tell us more about that because people, the more I talk about
people, the more people are confused.
(14:45):
They don't understand synthetic.I know what it means.
So let's let's explain where this started.
It was in your country again. Merck of Germany in 1933 created
the first synthetic supplement. Now the very first supplement or
vitamin wasn't discovered till 19 O 5 in England by William
Fletcher. He basically wiped out a disease
(15:06):
they thought evil spirits, gay people, right?
It was called Berry Berry. He said, no, it's not.
It's nutrition. Everyone laughed at him.
He took brown rice, organic brown rice, took the nutritious
part, got rid of the 80%, you know, carbohydrate, gave it to
people. Berry Berry went away.
He called that B vitamins. So now 19 O 51933 the
(15:29):
pharmaceutical said at Merck of Germany, hey, we can make money
on this. This is going to grow and grow
and grow and become as it has a multi billion dollar industry in
the developed world where you and I are from, by the time you
reach the young age of 60 years old, you basically have 75 to
80% of us that have taken supplements.
(15:51):
Next, we have to say that Merck of Germany realized that if you
keep sending human beings out into a field to collect plants
that have vitamin C in it, everyyear it becomes increasingly
more expensive, increasingly more to process it.
So they created a synthetic. This became the model.
So 91% of all supplements that say natural basically are
(16:16):
synthetic. Synthetic means there are lab.
Creative, these are. Nothing.
Has nothing to do with. The natural Plant, 1930s, They
internationally decided you can say the word natural by only
having 10% natural. So in your country, my country,
there's a law that I could put 90% deadly chemicals.
(16:38):
Not that that's what they're doing, deadly chemicals and 10%
of a plant and get away with it.That's a law.
It's a rule. They also realize you all like
the word organic now, so they made a rule, international rule,
under something called Kodaks that says basically if you have
one nitrogen atom, you can call it organic.
(17:01):
Are there authentically organic and ecological?
Yes, there are. You've got to search through the
weeds to find the flower. So don't get frustrated, get
educated. That's my idea.
You know, I don't take anything for granted because my life is
so important to me and I'm happyto be alive and it's a gift to
be alive. So the most important thing is a
(17:24):
fuel. You could have a Rolls Royce,
you could have the best Mercedesin the world.
You could sit there in the car all day and all night long for
day after day, week after week. If you don't have gas in that
car, you're not going anywhere. You look pretty and be dying the
same way. So that's what it is.
This is important. Now, again, it's not the altar
(17:47):
of God. You're putting the fuel in so
that you can ride, you can live,you can enjoy life, but at least
get this basic thing done. Get out of your addictive
nature. I don't think most people are
any different than an alcoholic or drug addict until I woke up
one day and said I have a real eating problem, that I'm
(18:07):
addicted to me. I'm addicted to dairy.
I'm addicted to sugars. And not to say I'm not addicted
to sugar, I'm just a recovering sugar addict.
Yeah, I don't need it because I know.
What about all these studies? They're bullshit.
Right, you see some multi vitamins online and say OK,
backed by 4000 studies and you'll get the ingredients list.
(18:30):
It's also thank exactly there's nothing natural.
How how come they they they're able to claim this?
Why? Why are there so many studies
where it shows OK vitamin C yourself?
What? Those, those of us that really
read science and scrutinize it, understand that how science
occurs now is economic. So let's imagine that you're the
(18:51):
guy who runs a large pharmaceutical company that
makes supplements. Yep.
Or at least a raw material for supplements.
I come to you on my Learjet witha check for €25,000,000 and I
have this paper with the outcome, I want you to say.
And here I give the check and usually you're out of university
(19:14):
because I want credentials. I don't want Doctor Smith, I
want credentials from the best university in Germany, the best
university in England. And that's how it works.
So those of us that read science, which I do always we
look at meta studies. Meta studies are how we we get
the honesty out of baloney as wesay, or sausage in your game.
(19:39):
So when you've done 50 studies, 100 studies, 20 studies, 200
studies, we then have, it's unfortunate we have to do this.
We go in with statisticians and we look at the common findings
in all of those studies. You may have 200 studies with
totally different outcomes. One says the sky is blue, one
says the sky is grey, one says the sky is not there.
(20:01):
I think so. But when we get the real
scientists, statisticians to come in, they extrapolate what
was there. Then they say, here's what we
really found from the 100 to 200studies.
That's how you have to read it today.
So you pay for the results. This is part of a marketing
budget, unfortunately. So these multibillion dollar
(20:21):
companies or billion euro companies, but have a budget of
$100 billion to basically lie and put it at the university and
have that done. And if you think what I'm saying
is not correct, you're either thinking that you're Mary
Poppins or have been asleep for a very long time.
So what they're so all these studies, right and said, OK,
vitamin C is, is is healthy in that supplement, Yeah, like Zui
(20:46):
probably also based on natural vitamin C.
Well, there is. There is a synthetic version
there, Sunny well that. Actually, the, the the great
story is a gentleman. I, I had, I met lovely, lovely
man Lace was a guy that brought vitamin C to the to the world.
And when he came out with it andsaid it was really, really good
(21:10):
for Colts, some in Colts. And the first guy that spoke of
that was 1954 and he has not been disproven.
His name is Doctor Harman Harman, look him up.
And he basically said that all disease, no matter if you die
from cancer or heart attack or diabetes is free radical damage.
Today we call it oxidative stress.
(21:32):
And in the same breath he didn'teven stop.
He said how you prevent that is vitamin C and vitamin A.
He was the first guy that came right out of the gate and said
that Linus Pauling, who I'd justdiscussed with you, basically,
he said it took care of vitamin C.
Now, he authentically believed that he was a Nobel laureate.
He won 2, not all prizes, but ithas been disproven.
(21:54):
So beyond the fact that you havepseudoscience going on and being
paid by by marketing budgets, atthe end of the day, we have
evolution too. It's honest evolution.
So if you say, do I think everything I thought 30 or 40
years ago is exactly the same today, the answer is no.
No, because I've grown, I've evolved, science has evolved,
(22:16):
and shit, I've had a lot more experience in 30 years than I've
had. You know, you didn't want to be
in my first lecture. It may have been impressive, not
to me, but not you. You said one thing in the
beginning, that synthetic vitamins, which are again 90
plus percent of this market in the best case, are just flushed
(22:37):
out in the worst they're. Harmful.
They're harmful. And why is it can tell the
audience why they're? Awful with the one thing that
our primal body has not forgotten is how to get rid of
anything it doesn't relate to. So it relates to plants, it
relates to sunshine, it relates to happiness, it relates to all
of this. When you start putting a man
(22:58):
made chemical in. Let me give you some examples.
Every single year around the blood, there's 2000 chemicals
created that we're not here lastyear.
So this year that we're now talking 2000, brand new
chemicals would be put out into the population.
We don't know what they're goingto do not to.
That's not the bad part of the story.
(23:20):
They mix with hundreds of thousands of little chemicals
and become hundreds of millions of other chemicals because one
chemical, another chemical doesn't create a new chemical,
it creates multitude of chemicals.
So now the body's programmed from your primal time to say
here comes anatomy. Now when it says here comes an
enemy who handles that? Your immune system.
(23:43):
Yep. What is your immune system there
to do? Keep you young, keep you away
from disease and keep you vital.If my immune system is now
taking care of a six EUR of supplements I've just taken that
day, cancer can walk in, virus can walk in, bacteria can walk
in, mold can walk in and you getsick.
(24:04):
This is so simple to understand.I don't know why everyone
doesn't get this. Well, because they are on the
payroll of these people basically saying it.
My book Supplements Exposed among 35 books I've written
basically wasn't very popular inhealth stores.
That one or two or three aisles in health stores are where the
(24:25):
money comes from. If I have a bottle like this I
can make €25 profit on and a bagof potato chips like this that,
Oh yes, organic, ecological, then I make 10-10 cents on them.
Guess what? They don't want you to know
this. And I don't think it's all that
corrupt. I think a lot of people buy into
the scenario. I think a lot of people are just
(24:47):
don't ask the questions, including alternative doctors.
They're just a bit better. They're not giving you the
drugs, they're giving you deadlychemicals.
I was just a keynote speaker at the International Conference and
IPS, where this is from all overthe world, your country, 30
countries were there. I was in Boston and I went in
like a gangbuster. I was ready to beat everyone up.
(25:07):
And I I was wrong, by the way, Iwent into say almost all of you
were injecting genetically modified corn that happened from
Monsanto, by the way, in Germanyinto the bodies of your people.
And then I listened for a minuteand there was dead silence, like
you geared up So people didn't know this.
(25:29):
Yeah. No, people don't know.
No. So here are doctors that you
think they're scientists. They're supposed to be asking.
They think they just take for granted because we're all so
damn busy. Yeah.
It says natural on it, which in 1930s you could call natural.
What did I just say? 10% for natural?
Yeah, ID percent can be chemicals, and RI can show you
(25:50):
they didn't know it. So then I backpedaled and I
basically said, I'm sorry in theroom.
Here is somebody I used to work with and he stood up.
I said what was the first thing I asked you before I brought you
on to give Ivs to our patients? He said what is in the vitamin?
CI said cassava. In Europe it's beet grains they
get it from. In this country it's a root
(26:12):
vegetable called cassava. They make tapioca out of that.
So. So it's again, not total
corruption. There's corruption at the top
and minor corruption. And the only thing I can fault
the doctors with is investigate what you're doing to your
patients. And what you're giving people, I
always explain it right. We're we're the sickest we've
(26:33):
ever been and societies and whenwe're taking the most vitamins
and minerals and drugs and drugsand even the multivitamin
industry is exploding. Or just. 90% of the Americans
think of multivitamins that but right. 70% are vitamin nutrition
right? It doesn't even fit you like
basic logic. Thinking, but most of them don't
(26:55):
test. They don't test.
They don't test and even if theytest, if it's a normal blood
test, it doesn't work. We have to do a very, which I've
been doing now for 30 years here, a very sophisticated test.
And there's now two or three companies globally, Vibrant
Health, which is in Europe too, how they do it.
And there I can actually get something out of it.
(27:17):
And we also know about somethingwe didn't know a decade ago
called methylation. So your mom and dad, not really,
but let's make this start up, may have both had a genetic
disposition they couldn't digestB12.
Yeah, you have to be specifically very clear on the
type like the life give type of B12 that you're going to get the
(27:37):
B12 because again, 95% of B12 isnot a bacteria and B12 is not a
not AB vitamin and it is a bacteria.
It's a soil based microorganism.They kick it, they could kill an
etcetera. So it looks like B12 on a chart,
but is it working? No, I can look like I'm alive
sitting here smiling, but I may be dead.
(28:00):
You can do a lot of funny things.
One of the things the next sophistication I feel like from
supplement brands are when they're ferment, yes, right.
So they say, oh, we were fermenting things.
Therefore it's now organic and natural foods while right they
are ejecting chemicals in food and ferment and then they they
(28:23):
call the whole thing the whole soup, the chemical soup.
That is not informative. Tell us why that is.
This, this is another one they tripped into.
So there was a slight uptick of interest of people like you and
I that said, hey, if we're goingto take a supplement and give it
to our family, we want it to be real.
So they recognize it's going to cost more money every year to go
(28:45):
out with human hands, collect the plants, process them
correctly. Takes days to create supplements
correctly. And they said, well, let's now
get around it by saying there's a culture.
So you're right, it's a fermentation.
You culture chemical supplements.
They're the same deadly chemicalsupplements.
They ferment slightly. They become, as you pointed out,
(29:06):
a soup and they by law played with it and they can tell you
it's a food based supplement at that.
You've got to look at the ingredients.
If it says food based, where arethe foods?
If it says food based and there's no foods listed on the
ingredient list, it's not food based.
Exactly. Yeah.
So it's like me saying there's areally good natural food called
(29:26):
whiskey. Is it a natural food?
Absolutely. Yeah, it's a natural.
But how many of you think whiskey's healthy for you?
Nothing. You get what I'm saying too,
That there's trickery, and there's been trickery from the
dawn of civilization. Moving forward, so we we learned
now that we have to watch out with some ingredients list
etcetera. What what are some other tips
(29:47):
and tricks you would say if to to choose the right supplements?
We talked about it's got to be Whole Foods.
It's got to be. Organic.
Which is very important this. Tell us why that some other
things people. Well, let's go back.
I don't want to breeze over those of you that have the
ability to find a competent Dr. There's a lot of hold themselves
holistic that are not they just we're doing well in mainstream
(30:09):
allopathic medicine. So now they're taking advantage
of saying holistic. There are some legitimate ones
and your country, many of them I've known for how you lived in
Europe. So many I've known for 40-50
years that were pioneers of this, A lot of these women and
men actually offer you the kind of testing I've mentioned to you
where it does deep dives into your methylation, does deep dive
(30:31):
into what you really lack. At that point, you can do a
consultation with us if they're not equipped to do it with you.
But when you get that data to usthat we basically can say here's
what you really need, we'll never overdo it.
If anything, we're guilty of underdoing it here.
And there are some cases like vitamin C.
(30:51):
You know what I tell most peopleeat sweet organic red Peppers
daily? No.
Are there some that have such a deep problem or they're older
and going to have a hard time digesting anything?
I'll give them our supplement, vitamin C, but it's not classic.
I'd rather have you take a red pepper, which applies to 89% of
the people. Are there other supplements
(31:13):
you've talked about? Red Peppers.
Why? Well, let's talk.
About B12, that's what a big one.
Exactly. We'll talk about B12 in a
second. One thing I want to say is where
people listen to this. In the red pepper, right?
All the different enzymes. Work.
Right, so the all the different we talked about you talk about
in the book, which just makes sense, right?
(31:34):
In in in nature, red Peppers never have.
Red Peppers never have just vitamin C.
They have all this coping factors, enzymes where your body
thinks, OK, great, I can actually.
Use it. Exactly.
Well, make it. Make it super clear for them
What you're saying is so good and so right.
Do you have one eyeball or two? Two.
Do you have a nose? Yeah.
(31:56):
Do you have penis? Yes.
You're complete. Now.
What if I took your eyeball out and we floated it here on the
string? Most people would shut it down
and call the police and say, there's an eyeball speaking to
me. There's no body.
So think about the human body's immune system.
Yeah, if you just put a little particle in, like an eyeball.
(32:17):
Yeah. One of the things I tell our
guests here when I'm doing this class on supplementation,
imagine you're home at night. You're relaxed.
A knock comes on the door. You open it up and there's that
eyeball or a finger floating in.Be there.
An ear floating in, be there. You close the door, call the
police. Immune system, human system gets
it. Now two nights later, you forget
(32:37):
that happened. Now comes the most attractive,
intelligent human being you've ever seen in your life.
What do you do? You're welcome.
So the human cell says, hey, I relate to you.
You're complete. You're whole.
It doesn't relate to a segment or particle of something.
So it is really clear what happens because I'm sitting here
(32:58):
not only dealing with people whodon't take supplements, but take
the wrong supplements. I'm guilty, correctly guilty of
getting rid of bags of $1000 of supplements.
Some holistic Dr. put them on orthey read on the Internet or
they saw an ad. And the people are not naive and
and and stupid. It's just they are oversold on
(33:21):
this stuff. And I said, yeah, you, you're
trying to do the right thing with the wrong product.
It's like I could try to walk, but if there's no ground below
me, I'm going to fall. It's so important.
B12, we want to talk about one specific supplement and there's
a lot of misinformation out there.
People say, oh, you plant based eaters, all these vegans look at
(33:43):
them. They need B12.
That is already factually incorrect because meat eaters
see because Oh yes, talk about this meat 12 and and why there's
there's so much the artificial meat 12 out there where people
eject or take right B12 shots and why are these are not great
(34:05):
talk about us. So what happened is more than 30
years ago, I was holding at thatmoment international conferences
for the leader in living food. And there were 910 countries of
people that would show up and, and we would have, we had a
round table and all the flags would be there.
And who was sitting next to me is my good friend Doctor Gabriel
(34:25):
Cousins and George Malcolmus. And they both whispered in my
ear within a 20 minute period. Did you see the Framingham study
on B12? Now here in the United States,
this is a Harvard offshoot. When you say Framingham people
realize this is a serious science organization.
They came out and read the studythat day and said that when you
(34:46):
see B12 deficiencies or you haveit on a blood test, it's not
accurate. So this completely threw me off
because when people got on the Living Food program, they were
on it for months or a year. We were rarely, if ever, lacking
B12. So we would have come to place
from all over the world. Scientists would call us and
say, you know, on your diet of B12 defendants, we would say no.
(35:10):
But now I'm caught in a positionwhere I'm saying, well, that's
not adequate. That test isn't the correct.
So I go on a rampage for over three years.
I'm all over the world looking for this information.
It's almost impossible to find. And to make this story short,
there was a de evolution of our gastrointestinal tract, the
large intestine and hundreds andhundreds and hundreds of years
(35:31):
ago had an elongated little pocket at the bottom where your
food would fall down. It was plant based food then and
it would culture itself into bacteria called B12 that's
missing. Now.
They have this shriveled up appendix that you clog up with
garbage and basically they take it out and say you don't need
it. I had a good idea.
And so we then said, well, B12 is really, really important
(35:55):
because if you don't have it, you lose your memory and you
nervous it. So about 10 to 12% of the people
that have seen misdiagnosed withmultiple sclerosis, they have
B12 deficiencies, looks exactly like multiple sclerosis, they
can't talk, they can't walk, etcetera.
So now I say, well, is it uniqueto plant based eaters?
And so I did more than 30 years of research.
(36:19):
There's no one else out there I can prove to you that has done
that. I personally have done 32 years
of research on this and meat eaters have an 8% higher
incidence of B12 than vegans andraw vegans have the least of
all. But we still should take B12.
The only supplement that I'm going to tell every man, woman
and child I don't have to know, you never have to do a
(36:40):
consultation with you, is take living food form of B12A
bacterial rich B12. Because why do meat eaters, fish
eaters, dairy eaters happen? They cook the food.
Now why do animals not have AB12?
Where are their little bows all day long on soil?
Where is it from? Soil.
(37:02):
It's a soil based bacteria. Why do raw food vegans have
little of it? What are we doing reading raw,
uncooked. Once you cook the damn food, no
matter if it's meat or plants, you kill the bacteria.
That's the problem. And that bacteria will get in
and increase your whole immunity.
(37:22):
Now we know your psyche turns onyour your significant switch in
the brain called the serotonin receptor site that makes you
positive and takes a weak depression.
Except. And there are a lot of
synthetics out there again. Almost.
All is synthetic, It's very hardto find.
(37:42):
So our form life give is is there is some that you make in
Europe out of algae and so as long as you don't cook that darn
thing above 100 and 10115, it's still bio active.
It still works. If I cooked you at 115, you
wouldn't be very hello. So think about that.
(38:06):
So to wrap it up, we talked about B12, we talked about the
evolution of some industry, why it's.
Important. What others?
What other ones are big deficiencies?
Magnesium. Magnesium.
Magnesium is a big one. You've got to get an ionic form
of magnesium. You can get raw almonds.
United States is difficult. They now ZAP them, radiate them.
That's a big one. But even eating almonds, if
(38:28):
you're athletic, you'd need the ionic supplementation.
Another one is very, very important for you and that's
certain minerals. And selenium is not in the soil
anymore. So ionic selenium is iodine not
in the soil anymore. These are things that I don't
(38:49):
care what you eat, what you don't eat, that you're lacking.
There's a 99% chance you're going to lack these things.
And so if you're going to start,that's it.
We also understand the economic constraints of this.
He has a family. I brought up four children, have
8 grandchildren, and we know everyone's not socially economic
(39:09):
secure on this, but at least start with the B12.
Things like ionic magnesium and magnesium oil you can put on
your body are very inexpensive. I buy a bottle, I use it every
day. It lasts me a year.
So I mean, it costs practically nothing.
And so we start with that. And then if you can do that deep
dive study on your genetics and what you really lack or don't
(39:33):
lack, it may save your life. Let me be more clear.
It most likely will save your life and certainly prolong your
lifespan. Amazing.
When people want to know more about I always say Hippocrates.
Hippocrates, you say it is exactly.
I know. When?
When they want to know more about you or Hippocrates.
(39:53):
Hippocrates Where? Where?
Probably the best and easiest place for most of your listeners
would be get on the Internet andlook up Hippocrates Wellness and
we have a website and all kinds of channel.
Those of you that are more serious and want to work in this
field. We have an online presence where
people graduate and that they'rehelping people in their part of
(40:14):
the world. And of course, there's a movie
that you can see, it's on Netflix, that all of you could
get a deep understanding of whatwe've been doing here as a
pioneer in this field for 70 years now.
And that's called Hippocrates, Atransformation to Wellness, and
so that you can look up and see recoveries and different things
(40:36):
on there. So it's a pleasure to be with
you. Thank you so much.
There you will.
Hi, I'm Crystal. And I'm Michael, and we're the
founders of Super Plans. If you're ready to improve your
health and live a life you love,hit subscribe and let's get
started. Welcome to Super Health podcast.
Welcome everybody to the Super Life podcast.
We're super excited today to talk about the world renowned
(00:29):
scientists, nutritionists, health advocates, Doctor Brian
Clement. We're sitting actually here at
the Hippocratus Health Instituteand the Cratus Wellness in
Florida. Doctor Brian Clement has been
here for 50 years doing this healing.
People talking about longevity. And.
He's been talking about supplements soon for a long
(00:49):
time, so we want to bring him infor all of you to understand the
supplement stream and more. And he has wrote and written a
book about it. It's called supplements exposed
High recommended. We'll link it up here.
Doctor Benjamin, welcome to it's.
Nice to be with you, A. Lot of people always ask us when
we when we first get started with super foods but also now
with supplements are wide ready supplements.
(01:13):
Why would it eat it? Well, let's start.
I mean, I think that we have been trained by the
pharmaceutical industries in oursociety to think that you have
to hit a wall before you wake up.
You have to lack something before you wake up.
One small example, for the last 40 years, I, Anna Maria and I
(01:34):
have been testing sophisticatedly our nutritional
profile. We have not lacked anything.
But this morning, as every morning except first day of
fasting, I get up and take 39 supplements.
So let's start with that so you don't have to hit a wall or
require something to have extra energy, extra mentality, extra
(01:58):
vitality, and most important, sexuality.
What else? And let's go back and review a
little bit of what happened to me.
So I was sort of new in this. I started in the summer of 69
and I had a wonderful, wonderfulmentor who was a 75 year old
(02:19):
woman but healed herself of cancer with plants.
To me, I suspected she was lyingbecause everyone I ever knew
that had cancer ended up dead. I would go to their funeral, to
their wake. That's what the Irish call it.
And slowly but surely I met other friends of hers and she
(02:41):
brought me into hellstones. I didn't know anything like that
existed to the Academy and thereweren't many that were all very
small. And everyone at that point that
procured a health store, owned one, had a story that, you know,
something miraculous happened tothem.
At the same point I was at university taking basic science
(03:01):
courses. And she said continue to do that
because there's no formal place in 1970 to learn this.
And today in 2025, there's no formal place except one place
that I helped to create in Europe, Lithuania.
We can get a master's degree or doctorate's degree in lifestyle.
(03:21):
That's no place else on the planet.
Why? It's the governments in cahoots
for the Pharmaceutical industry.So this leads me to 45 years ago
and I'm really steeped in and I'm thinking, Oh my God, back in
those days when it came to plantbased diets, we didn't know
much. The Bible was a little book
(03:41):
called, I don't even remember what it was called, to be honest
with you. That's a that was it was a long
time ago. And it was really saying that
you had to mix beans and rice together to get complete
proteins, and it was really hardto do.
And everyone lacked B12. And.
Yeah. So I bought into that business.
(04:01):
And then all at once, they started to say, well, how do I
know the supplements are what they say they are?
Yeah. So I did a very deep dive to the
eyes of scientists and realize shortly that over 90% of
supplements are damaging to take, dangerous to take, and not
even close to what they're saying they are.
(04:23):
So if you're out there buying supplements #1 the best way to
think about it is that they're not food if they're not raw and
non processed, and if they're not organic, you don't even
touch them. At least they honestly admit
that on the bottle. It's such a huge industry by one
(04:43):
of the world's biggest industries and one of the
world's least regulated. Lawyers.
Right. People can say whatever they
want about the supplements. In fact, etcetera.
One step back, you started supplementing very early on,
although you were on a very healthy diet because you wanted
to get the extra energy, the extra vitamins.
(05:05):
Tell us about that. Why?
Why people think sometimes, oh, I just, I'm just eating the
rainbow. I never need to eat some of
them. Well, actually for the 1st 5 or
6 years I did it. I believe that.
And then they made a big mistake.
They invited me in 1980 to become the director of
Hippocrates and overnight I became very serious about my
(05:29):
obligation to the people that come here and the people I
address all over the globe and write books for.
And I recognize that there's this concept because of the meat
and dairy industry. If you're not eating meat and
dairy, you're literally going tostarve to death.
So what are we going to do to substitute?
And so that's where a lot of yousay, well, if I'm eating plants,
(05:51):
which are the ultimate way to eat, and I'll explain why that's
a fact, not an opinion. Why would I need supplements?
So now I bring in something likeblood test.
I start looking at them. I'm not only fortunate to work
with people who are really sick and help them reverse it and the
aging process, but I'm also fortunate that we're sort of the
(06:13):
Mecca for well seasoned people. So people have been doing this
for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years, and we're doing tests on
them. Some of them are lacking certain
nutrients and we'll talk about those nutrients.
So I recognize that there was a real role and a place for food
based organic living supplements.
Yeah. But again, that's a very small,
(06:34):
about 4% or so on the marketplace.
Yeah. Yeah.
Now let's move forward. Who is behind the supplement
industry, the Pharmaceutical industry, They've always played
the game from the dawn of, quote, civilization.
I'm still waiting for divide andconquer.
(06:54):
So they create one political party, the next political party,
the blacks and the whites, the Jews and the Muslims.
And they keep us all out of balance at that point so that
you don't know what to think, you don't know what to do, and
you have insecurity. So you'll go along with the
program, and most of you are really good at that.
So the program means you've got to take supplements because the
(07:15):
way you're eating certainly couldn't feed you.
The Hippocrates Raw Living Food Diet provides hands down, by
far, overwhelmingly the most nutrition and all in the world.
That's why the top athletes eat this way.
That's why Hollywood sends the movie stars to this institute
where we are to get trained because they do it half the
(07:37):
time. So this is not an innuendo or an
opinion or arrogance. This is really Clear History
we're talking about. Now.
The second thing you have to know is that every single
creature on the planet, every species on the planet except
humans in nature, eat 100% raw diet.
I want you to understand what I say.
(07:59):
If English is not your first language, I'm going to go very
slow, especially we share the planet with eight million other
species that we know of. There's probably another 4
million we haven't identified and we're killing off 100% of
those species in their natural setting.
Eat 100% raw diet. The only species that chooses to
(08:21):
cook our food is your species. Now that's a great thought and
overwhelming. Now my question is, do you think
we got it wrong for 8 million other species got it wrong and
the universe got it wrong? Well, I'll vote for the
universe. And again #2 our founder who in
(08:43):
1952 reversed advanced stage 4 cancer after the Harvard doctors
in America, Harvard's like, you know, the God said you're going
to die. She instinctually, because she
wasn't a scientist, she was a, aLithuanian immigrant to the
United States, instinctually knew you'd put people on a road
(09:03):
diet, how she dealed her calf. She would go out and pick weeds
and eat grains and people thought she's completely nuts.
And she disproved the Harvard Dr. itself and basically have
fed people this way since 1956. Well.
The weakress is is almost like asupplement like the weakress
(09:23):
shots. The weakress powder of people
that have shots right? It's so powerful.
Some of these natural ingredients are so powerful.
They act like supplements. I want to you, you mentioned a
lot of people also, right? Don't eat healthy in general.
Most vegans don't eat that. Exactly what's vegans are
healthy? I mean the American population
(09:44):
right is not healthy in general when from Germany they're not
healthy, right? Our regular diets are unhealthy.
So even there, the supplements are even more.
Important, yes. Right.
Then for people who eat very healthy, which can still be
important, but right And so supplement also is, is necessary
because our soils are not safe, right.
(10:05):
Even if you eat a lot of vegetables, listening to this
and thinking, oh, is it really for me?
Yeah, you most like you're not getting enough from the fruits
and vegetables you're eating, you're buying in the grocery
stores, etcetera. In 1987, there was an
international Congress in Brazilbecause the governments then
were so legitimate, unlike today, that they were concerned
(10:27):
about soil depletion in your country.
It had been depleted 85% in lessthan a century, This country,
88%. Now we assume that.
I haven't seen the latest data. It's over 90% now.
Let's explain to the listeners what we're saying.
Yeah. Topsoil is why you're alive.
(10:47):
And what creates topsoil is called worm poop.
So these little innocent worms that you don't have any respect
for basically keep you alive. They've killed the worms with
pesticides, fungicides, or besides.
They've not allow healthy roots to get into the soil.
So now the soil washes away. It's in our rivers, streams,
(11:08):
oceans, etcetera. And more important than all of
that, in 1987 they said there's going to be an International
Crisis of bound nutrition. That's a long time ago, people.
Has anything been done? No, it's getting worse.
So if you're not getting things from organic food, yes, organic
(11:28):
food. Now Britain, there's small
organic eco farmers all over theworld.
If you go to that woman or that man that has organic soil,
you're going to get nutrition. But when you go to the shop and
you buy organic food that was growing on thousands and
thousands of acres in a place like California or Spain, I
(11:48):
promise you that food has no more nutrition than commercial
food. Now, I will never feed anyone
anything but organic food. Last year I spent on this campus
two and a half million dollars on organic food to feed people.
But do I really think what I buyfrom California organic large
farms is that nutritious? No, it's familiar.
So I give it to you, when you grow germinated, sprouted nuts,
(12:13):
seeds, grains of beets in your house for pennies anywhere in
the world, that's what you get less nutrition for.
Now, in spite of that, this is by far the most nutritious food,
highest protein food in the world.
You still, because you've had long term lack of nutrition,
need some supplements. Or like me, I don't need the
(12:34):
supplement. But tonight, I'll end the night
at 9:00 after I play rock music for a while as a drummer.
This morning I woke up at 5:00. I studied science for two hours
and I wrote for one hour. Not because I'm telling you how
how impressive that is. That's what I want to do.
(12:54):
This turns. I don't do anything that doesn't
turn me on. And you have the energy for it
of. Course, and if you don't have
energy for it, you can't do it. Exactly.
And that's what we're always talking about, right?
Eat plants, feed a life, have supplements, feel like so we can
do the things because you have the energy for the things you
want. To do don't get stuck on the
food, you know? Yeah, we the food becomes the
altar of God. Food is like going to the
(13:16):
gasoline pump and putting petrolin.
Yeah, get over the food. Just eat this way so that you
have an emotionally happy life, a family life, a spiritual life,
energy. You're never getting old the day
that you die. Hopefully my, one of my latest
books is How to Live 220 and I really mean it.
Basically you should be running that day, go to bed, not head
(13:39):
pain and not wake up. And then go out.
That's it. Well fed and dead.
Exactly. You're talking about the
Pharmaceutical industry, and I think it's so funny.
Or. Not funny at all, actually, but
how they right can the full manipulate of how they're the
full circle right? They're they own the pesticides
(14:00):
companies for less companies, right?
They run your. Countries right exactly and
they're they're right. They give you the supplements
right to combat that right and then they they give you right
the the itch more later say she sees us all the other
pharmaceuticals right so it's a full cycle.
We have to step out. Tell us how, how are companies
(14:24):
getting away with that, right? And what are the really The
Dirty truths of some of these? Because when you go in the
store, you're overwhelmed with the peripheral off right, All
the multivitamins, all the and they all say natural.
Tell us more about that because people, the more I talk about
people, the more people are confused.
(14:45):
They don't understand synthetic.I know what it means.
So let's let's explain where this started.
It was in your country again. Merck of Germany in 1933 created
the first synthetic supplement. Now the very first supplement or
vitamin wasn't discovered till 19 O 5 in England by William
Fletcher. He basically wiped out a disease
(15:06):
they thought evil spirits, gay people, right?
It was called Berry Berry. He said, no, it's not.
It's nutrition. Everyone laughed at him.
He took brown rice, organic brown rice, took the nutritious
part, got rid of the 80%, you know, carbohydrate, gave it to
people. Berry Berry went away.
He called that B vitamins. So now 19 O 51933 the
(15:29):
pharmaceutical said at Merck of Germany, hey, we can make money
on this. This is going to grow and grow
and grow and become as it has a multi billion dollar industry in
the developed world where you and I are from, by the time you
reach the young age of 60 years old, you basically have 75 to
80% of us that have taken supplements.
(15:51):
Next, we have to say that Merck of Germany realized that if you
keep sending human beings out into a field to collect plants
that have vitamin C in it, everyyear it becomes increasingly
more expensive, increasingly more to process it.
So they created a synthetic. This became the model.
So 91% of all supplements that say natural basically are
(16:16):
synthetic. Synthetic means there are lab.
Creative, these are. Nothing.
Has nothing to do with. The natural Plant, 1930s, They
internationally decided you can say the word natural by only
having 10% natural. So in your country, my country,
there's a law that I could put 90% deadly chemicals.
(16:38):
Not that that's what they're doing, deadly chemicals and 10%
of a plant and get away with it.That's a law.
It's a rule. They also realize you all like
the word organic now, so they made a rule, international rule,
under something called Kodaks that says basically if you have
one nitrogen atom, you can call it organic.
(17:01):
Are there authentically organic and ecological?
Yes, there are. You've got to search through the
weeds to find the flower. So don't get frustrated, get
educated. That's my idea.
You know, I don't take anything for granted because my life is
so important to me and I'm happyto be alive and it's a gift to
be alive. So the most important thing is a
(17:24):
fuel. You could have a Rolls Royce,
you could have the best Mercedesin the world.
You could sit there in the car all day and all night long for
day after day, week after week. If you don't have gas in that
car, you're not going anywhere. You look pretty and be dying the
same way. So that's what it is.
This is important. Now, again, it's not the altar
(17:47):
of God. You're putting the fuel in so
that you can ride, you can live,you can enjoy life, but at least
get this basic thing done. Get out of your addictive
nature. I don't think most people are
any different than an alcoholic or drug addict until I woke up
one day and said I have a real eating problem, that I'm
(18:07):
addicted to me. I'm addicted to dairy.
I'm addicted to sugars. And not to say I'm not addicted
to sugar, I'm just a recovering sugar addict.
Yeah, I don't need it because I know.
What about all these studies? They're bullshit.
Right, you see some multi vitamins online and say OK,
backed by 4000 studies and you'll get the ingredients list.
(18:30):
It's also thank exactly there's nothing natural.
How how come they they they're able to claim this?
Why? Why are there so many studies
where it shows OK vitamin C yourself?
What? Those, those of us that really
read science and scrutinize it, understand that how science
occurs now is economic. So let's imagine that you're the
(18:51):
guy who runs a large pharmaceutical company that
makes supplements. Yep.
Or at least a raw material for supplements.
I come to you on my Learjet witha check for €25,000,000 and I
have this paper with the outcome, I want you to say.
And here I give the check and usually you're out of university
(19:14):
because I want credentials. I don't want Doctor Smith, I
want credentials from the best university in Germany, the best
university in England. And that's how it works.
So those of us that read science, which I do always we
look at meta studies. Meta studies are how we we get
the honesty out of baloney as wesay, or sausage in your game.
(19:39):
So when you've done 50 studies, 100 studies, 20 studies, 200
studies, we then have, it's unfortunate we have to do this.
We go in with statisticians and we look at the common findings
in all of those studies. You may have 200 studies with
totally different outcomes. One says the sky is blue, one
says the sky is grey, one says the sky is not there.
(20:01):
I think so. But when we get the real
scientists, statisticians to come in, they extrapolate what
was there. Then they say, here's what we
really found from the 100 to 200studies.
That's how you have to read it today.
So you pay for the results. This is part of a marketing
budget, unfortunately. So these multibillion dollar
(20:21):
companies or billion euro companies, but have a budget of
$100 billion to basically lie and put it at the university and
have that done. And if you think what I'm saying
is not correct, you're either thinking that you're Mary
Poppins or have been asleep for a very long time.
So what they're so all these studies, right and said, OK,
vitamin C is, is is healthy in that supplement, Yeah, like Zui
(20:46):
probably also based on natural vitamin C.
Well, there is. There is a synthetic version
there, Sunny well that. Actually, the, the the great
story is a gentleman. I, I had, I met lovely, lovely
man Lace was a guy that brought vitamin C to the to the world.
And when he came out with it andsaid it was really, really good
(21:10):
for Colts, some in Colts. And the first guy that spoke of
that was 1954 and he has not been disproven.
His name is Doctor Harman Harman, look him up.
And he basically said that all disease, no matter if you die
from cancer or heart attack or diabetes is free radical damage.
Today we call it oxidative stress.
(21:32):
And in the same breath he didn'teven stop.
He said how you prevent that is vitamin C and vitamin A.
He was the first guy that came right out of the gate and said
that Linus Pauling, who I'd justdiscussed with you, basically,
he said it took care of vitamin C.
Now, he authentically believed that he was a Nobel laureate.
He won 2, not all prizes, but ithas been disproven.
(21:54):
So beyond the fact that you havepseudoscience going on and being
paid by by marketing budgets, atthe end of the day, we have
evolution too. It's honest evolution.
So if you say, do I think everything I thought 30 or 40
years ago is exactly the same today, the answer is no.
No, because I've grown, I've evolved, science has evolved,
(22:16):
and shit, I've had a lot more experience in 30 years than I've
had. You know, you didn't want to be
in my first lecture. It may have been impressive, not
to me, but not you. You said one thing in the
beginning, that synthetic vitamins, which are again 90
plus percent of this market in the best case, are just flushed
(22:37):
out in the worst they're. Harmful.
They're harmful. And why is it can tell the
audience why they're? Awful with the one thing that
our primal body has not forgotten is how to get rid of
anything it doesn't relate to. So it relates to plants, it
relates to sunshine, it relates to happiness, it relates to all
of this. When you start putting a man
(22:58):
made chemical in. Let me give you some examples.
Every single year around the blood, there's 2000 chemicals
created that we're not here lastyear.
So this year that we're now talking 2000, brand new
chemicals would be put out into the population.
We don't know what they're goingto do not to.
That's not the bad part of the story.
(23:20):
They mix with hundreds of thousands of little chemicals
and become hundreds of millions of other chemicals because one
chemical, another chemical doesn't create a new chemical,
it creates multitude of chemicals.
So now the body's programmed from your primal time to say
here comes anatomy. Now when it says here comes an
enemy who handles that? Your immune system.
(23:43):
Yep. What is your immune system there
to do? Keep you young, keep you away
from disease and keep you vital.If my immune system is now
taking care of a six EUR of supplements I've just taken that
day, cancer can walk in, virus can walk in, bacteria can walk
in, mold can walk in and you getsick.
(24:04):
This is so simple to understand.I don't know why everyone
doesn't get this. Well, because they are on the
payroll of these people basically saying it.
My book Supplements Exposed among 35 books I've written
basically wasn't very popular inhealth stores.
That one or two or three aisles in health stores are where the
(24:25):
money comes from. If I have a bottle like this I
can make €25 profit on and a bagof potato chips like this that,
Oh yes, organic, ecological, then I make 10-10 cents on them.
Guess what? They don't want you to know
this. And I don't think it's all that
corrupt. I think a lot of people buy into
the scenario. I think a lot of people are just
(24:47):
don't ask the questions, including alternative doctors.
They're just a bit better. They're not giving you the
drugs, they're giving you deadlychemicals.
I was just a keynote speaker at the International Conference and
IPS, where this is from all overthe world, your country, 30
countries were there. I was in Boston and I went in
like a gangbuster. I was ready to beat everyone up.
(25:07):
And I I was wrong, by the way, Iwent into say almost all of you
were injecting genetically modified corn that happened from
Monsanto, by the way, in Germanyinto the bodies of your people.
And then I listened for a minuteand there was dead silence, like
you geared up So people didn't know this.
(25:29):
Yeah. No, people don't know.
No. So here are doctors that you
think they're scientists. They're supposed to be asking.
They think they just take for granted because we're all so
damn busy. Yeah.
It says natural on it, which in 1930s you could call natural.
What did I just say? 10% for natural?
Yeah, ID percent can be chemicals, and RI can show you
(25:50):
they didn't know it. So then I backpedaled and I
basically said, I'm sorry in theroom.
Here is somebody I used to work with and he stood up.
I said what was the first thing I asked you before I brought you
on to give Ivs to our patients? He said what is in the vitamin?
CI said cassava. In Europe it's beet grains they
get it from. In this country it's a root
(26:12):
vegetable called cassava. They make tapioca out of that.
So. So it's again, not total
corruption. There's corruption at the top
and minor corruption. And the only thing I can fault
the doctors with is investigate what you're doing to your
patients. And what you're giving people, I
always explain it right. We're we're the sickest we've
(26:33):
ever been and societies and whenwe're taking the most vitamins
and minerals and drugs and drugsand even the multivitamin
industry is exploding. Or just. 90% of the Americans
think of multivitamins that but right. 70% are vitamin nutrition
right? It doesn't even fit you like
basic logic. Thinking, but most of them don't
(26:55):
test. They don't test.
They don't test and even if theytest, if it's a normal blood
test, it doesn't work. We have to do a very, which I've
been doing now for 30 years here, a very sophisticated test.
And there's now two or three companies globally, Vibrant
Health, which is in Europe too, how they do it.
And there I can actually get something out of it.
(27:17):
And we also know about somethingwe didn't know a decade ago
called methylation. So your mom and dad, not really,
but let's make this start up, may have both had a genetic
disposition they couldn't digestB12.
Yeah, you have to be specifically very clear on the
type like the life give type of B12 that you're going to get the
(27:37):
B12 because again, 95% of B12 isnot a bacteria and B12 is not a
not AB vitamin and it is a bacteria.
It's a soil based microorganism.They kick it, they could kill an
etcetera. So it looks like B12 on a chart,
but is it working? No, I can look like I'm alive
sitting here smiling, but I may be dead.
(28:00):
You can do a lot of funny things.
One of the things the next sophistication I feel like from
supplement brands are when they're ferment, yes, right.
So they say, oh, we were fermenting things.
Therefore it's now organic and natural foods while right they
are ejecting chemicals in food and ferment and then they they
(28:23):
call the whole thing the whole soup, the chemical soup.
That is not informative. Tell us why that is.
This, this is another one they tripped into.
So there was a slight uptick of interest of people like you and
I that said, hey, if we're goingto take a supplement and give it
to our family, we want it to be real.
So they recognize it's going to cost more money every year to go
(28:45):
out with human hands, collect the plants, process them
correctly. Takes days to create supplements
correctly. And they said, well, let's now
get around it by saying there's a culture.
So you're right, it's a fermentation.
You culture chemical supplements.
They're the same deadly chemicalsupplements.
They ferment slightly. They become, as you pointed out,
(29:06):
a soup and they by law played with it and they can tell you
it's a food based supplement at that.
You've got to look at the ingredients.
If it says food based, where arethe foods?
If it says food based and there's no foods listed on the
ingredient list, it's not food based.
Exactly. Yeah.
So it's like me saying there's areally good natural food called
(29:26):
whiskey. Is it a natural food?
Absolutely. Yeah, it's a natural.
But how many of you think whiskey's healthy for you?
Nothing. You get what I'm saying too,
That there's trickery, and there's been trickery from the
dawn of civilization. Moving forward, so we we learned
now that we have to watch out with some ingredients list
etcetera. What what are some other tips
(29:47):
and tricks you would say if to to choose the right supplements?
We talked about it's got to be Whole Foods.
It's got to be. Organic.
Which is very important this. Tell us why that some other
things people. Well, let's go back.
I don't want to breeze over those of you that have the
ability to find a competent Dr. There's a lot of hold themselves
holistic that are not they just we're doing well in mainstream
(30:09):
allopathic medicine. So now they're taking advantage
of saying holistic. There are some legitimate ones
and your country, many of them I've known for how you lived in
Europe. So many I've known for 40-50
years that were pioneers of this, A lot of these women and
men actually offer you the kind of testing I've mentioned to you
where it does deep dives into your methylation, does deep dive
(30:31):
into what you really lack. At that point, you can do a
consultation with us if they're not equipped to do it with you.
But when you get that data to usthat we basically can say here's
what you really need, we'll never overdo it.
If anything, we're guilty of underdoing it here.
And there are some cases like vitamin C.
(30:51):
You know what I tell most peopleeat sweet organic red Peppers
daily? No.
Are there some that have such a deep problem or they're older
and going to have a hard time digesting anything?
I'll give them our supplement, vitamin C, but it's not classic.
I'd rather have you take a red pepper, which applies to 89% of
the people. Are there other supplements
(31:13):
you've talked about? Red Peppers.
Why? Well, let's talk.
About B12, that's what a big one.
Exactly. We'll talk about B12 in a
second. One thing I want to say is where
people listen to this. In the red pepper, right?
All the different enzymes. Work.
Right, so the all the different we talked about you talk about
in the book, which just makes sense, right?
(31:34):
In in in nature, red Peppers never have.
Red Peppers never have just vitamin C.
They have all this coping factors, enzymes where your body
thinks, OK, great, I can actually.
Use it. Exactly.
Well, make it. Make it super clear for them
What you're saying is so good and so right.
Do you have one eyeball or two? Two.
Do you have a nose? Yeah.
(31:56):
Do you have penis? Yes.
You're complete. Now.
What if I took your eyeball out and we floated it here on the
string? Most people would shut it down
and call the police and say, there's an eyeball speaking to
me. There's no body.
So think about the human body's immune system.
Yeah, if you just put a little particle in, like an eyeball.
(32:17):
Yeah. One of the things I tell our
guests here when I'm doing this class on supplementation,
imagine you're home at night. You're relaxed.
A knock comes on the door. You open it up and there's that
eyeball or a finger floating in.Be there.
An ear floating in, be there. You close the door, call the
police. Immune system, human system gets
it. Now two nights later, you forget
(32:37):
that happened. Now comes the most attractive,
intelligent human being you've ever seen in your life.
What do you do? You're welcome.
So the human cell says, hey, I relate to you.
You're complete. You're whole.
It doesn't relate to a segment or particle of something.
So it is really clear what happens because I'm sitting here
(32:58):
not only dealing with people whodon't take supplements, but take
the wrong supplements. I'm guilty, correctly guilty of
getting rid of bags of $1000 of supplements.
Some holistic Dr. put them on orthey read on the Internet or
they saw an ad. And the people are not naive and
and and stupid. It's just they are oversold on
(33:21):
this stuff. And I said, yeah, you, you're
trying to do the right thing with the wrong product.
It's like I could try to walk, but if there's no ground below
me, I'm going to fall. It's so important.
B12, we want to talk about one specific supplement and there's
a lot of misinformation out there.
People say, oh, you plant based eaters, all these vegans look at
(33:43):
them. They need B12.
That is already factually incorrect because meat eaters
see because Oh yes, talk about this meat 12 and and why there's
there's so much the artificial meat 12 out there where people
eject or take right B12 shots and why are these are not great
(34:05):
talk about us. So what happened is more than 30
years ago, I was holding at thatmoment international conferences
for the leader in living food. And there were 910 countries of
people that would show up and, and we would have, we had a
round table and all the flags would be there.
And who was sitting next to me is my good friend Doctor Gabriel
(34:25):
Cousins and George Malcolmus. And they both whispered in my
ear within a 20 minute period. Did you see the Framingham study
on B12? Now here in the United States,
this is a Harvard offshoot. When you say Framingham people
realize this is a serious science organization.
They came out and read the studythat day and said that when you
(34:46):
see B12 deficiencies or you haveit on a blood test, it's not
accurate. So this completely threw me off
because when people got on the Living Food program, they were
on it for months or a year. We were rarely, if ever, lacking
B12. So we would have come to place
from all over the world. Scientists would call us and
say, you know, on your diet of B12 defendants, we would say no.
(35:10):
But now I'm caught in a positionwhere I'm saying, well, that's
not adequate. That test isn't the correct.
So I go on a rampage for over three years.
I'm all over the world looking for this information.
It's almost impossible to find. And to make this story short,
there was a de evolution of our gastrointestinal tract, the
large intestine and hundreds andhundreds and hundreds of years
(35:31):
ago had an elongated little pocket at the bottom where your
food would fall down. It was plant based food then and
it would culture itself into bacteria called B12 that's
missing. Now.
They have this shriveled up appendix that you clog up with
garbage and basically they take it out and say you don't need
it. I had a good idea.
And so we then said, well, B12 is really, really important
(35:55):
because if you don't have it, you lose your memory and you
nervous it. So about 10 to 12% of the people
that have seen misdiagnosed withmultiple sclerosis, they have
B12 deficiencies, looks exactly like multiple sclerosis, they
can't talk, they can't walk, etcetera.
So now I say, well, is it uniqueto plant based eaters?
And so I did more than 30 years of research.
(36:19):
There's no one else out there I can prove to you that has done
that. I personally have done 32 years
of research on this and meat eaters have an 8% higher
incidence of B12 than vegans andraw vegans have the least of
all. But we still should take B12.
The only supplement that I'm going to tell every man, woman
and child I don't have to know, you never have to do a
(36:40):
consultation with you, is take living food form of B12A
bacterial rich B12. Because why do meat eaters, fish
eaters, dairy eaters happen? They cook the food.
Now why do animals not have AB12?
Where are their little bows all day long on soil?
Where is it from? Soil.
(37:02):
It's a soil based bacteria. Why do raw food vegans have
little of it? What are we doing reading raw,
uncooked. Once you cook the damn food, no
matter if it's meat or plants, you kill the bacteria.
That's the problem. And that bacteria will get in
and increase your whole immunity.
(37:22):
Now we know your psyche turns onyour your significant switch in
the brain called the serotonin receptor site that makes you
positive and takes a weak depression.
Except. And there are a lot of
synthetics out there again. Almost.
All is synthetic, It's very hardto find.
(37:42):
So our form life give is is there is some that you make in
Europe out of algae and so as long as you don't cook that darn
thing above 100 and 10115, it's still bio active.
It still works. If I cooked you at 115, you
wouldn't be very hello. So think about that.
(38:06):
So to wrap it up, we talked about B12, we talked about the
evolution of some industry, why it's.
Important. What others?
What other ones are big deficiencies?
Magnesium. Magnesium.
Magnesium is a big one. You've got to get an ionic form
of magnesium. You can get raw almonds.
United States is difficult. They now ZAP them, radiate them.
That's a big one. But even eating almonds, if
(38:28):
you're athletic, you'd need the ionic supplementation.
Another one is very, very important for you and that's
certain minerals. And selenium is not in the soil
anymore. So ionic selenium is iodine not
in the soil anymore. These are things that I don't
(38:49):
care what you eat, what you don't eat, that you're lacking.
There's a 99% chance you're going to lack these things.
And so if you're going to start,that's it.
We also understand the economic constraints of this.
He has a family. I brought up four children, have
8 grandchildren, and we know everyone's not socially economic
(39:09):
secure on this, but at least start with the B12.
Things like ionic magnesium and magnesium oil you can put on
your body are very inexpensive. I buy a bottle, I use it every
day. It lasts me a year.
So I mean, it costs practically nothing.
And so we start with that. And then if you can do that deep
dive study on your genetics and what you really lack or don't
(39:33):
lack, it may save your life. Let me be more clear.
It most likely will save your life and certainly prolong your
lifespan. Amazing.
When people want to know more about I always say Hippocrates.
Hippocrates, you say it is exactly.
I know. When?
When they want to know more about you or Hippocrates.
(39:53):
Hippocrates Where? Where?
Probably the best and easiest place for most of your listeners
would be get on the Internet andlook up Hippocrates Wellness and
we have a website and all kinds of channel.
Those of you that are more serious and want to work in this
field. We have an online presence where
people graduate and that they'rehelping people in their part of
(40:14):
the world. And of course, there's a movie
that you can see, it's on Netflix, that all of you could
get a deep understanding of whatwe've been doing here as a
pioneer in this field for 70 years now.
And that's called Hippocrates, Atransformation to Wellness, and
so that you can look up and see recoveries and different things
(40:36):
on there. So it's a pleasure to be with
you. Thank you so much.
There you will.
