After years of struggling with mysterious health issues, Brad Pitzele’s life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis in 2010 and malignant melanoma in 2014. Though his doctors prescribed treatments, Brad grew uneasy about the potential increase in cancer risk these therapies posed. Determined to find a safer, more holistic path, he delved deeper into his health—and uncovered additional infections: Lyme disease and Bartonella. As his fatigue, brain fog, and limited mobility became overwhelming, Brad sought alternatives that could offer real relief.
In 2016, his doctor recommended either hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT). Intrigued but unimpressed by the systems available, Brad decided to engineer his own EWOT solution. The impact was nothing short of life-changing: within a year, his energy, mental clarity, and physical strength were restored. The transformation was so profound that his doctor soon asked if Brad could build EWOT systems for other patients. That simple request became the inspiration for One Thousand Roads, a company rooted in Brad’s firsthand belief that healing should be effective, safe, and accessible.
Today, Brad empowers others living with chronic and complex illnesses by sharing his story and explaining how EWOT can accelerate recovery from conditions like Lyme disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune disease. His mission: to help people navigate their own healing journeys, understanding the science behind EWOT and making it an affordable, approachable tool for wellness.

Welcome all to Just Mind in my Business Media.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I hope you are having an amazing day and I
am so honored to bring my next guests this week
who After years of struggling with the mysterious health issues,
Brad's life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with autoimmune
(02:13):
arthritis in twenty ten and malignant melanoma in twenty fourteen.
Through his doctors prescribed treatments, Bred grew uneasy about the
potential increase in cancer risk and these therapies. Pose Determined
to find a safer, more holistic path, he dived deeper
(02:34):
into his health and uncovered additional infections, lime disease and
what is that botanella? Did I say that right?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
As his fatigue, brain fog, and limited mobility became overwhelming,
Grad sought alternatives that could offer real relief. Wow, I
am so excited to have you because, like we were
talking before we came on air, I'm a holistic beast.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I am.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I do not take a lot of pharmaceutical medicines at all.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Love that, love that as well.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Yeah, at some point, sometimes it takes a health crisis
for some of us to figure out that we've got
to own our own wellness.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So you're absolutely right.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I tell my children something I say, I tell them
al wisdom is pain. Now the question is whether it's
yours or somebody else's. In my case, I needed to
learn it through my own pain that like, I needed
to do it a different way.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, and that's usually how it happens. You know, we
don't believe.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Until it happens to us, and then it's like, okay,
this is real.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So tell us what.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Did you do? Just give us the timeline.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Well, I had, you know, I've had weird health stuff
going on since at least first or second grade.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Some of them were persistent.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
I had syriasis that developed at that time, and I,
you know, never really got rid of it. Sometimes it
was worse, sometimes it was better. It was never horrible though.
It's mostly like on my scalp and you couldn't see it,
and I'd get a patch here and there, and then
I'd have other weird things that were probably more obtrusive
in my life, but they would kind of come and go.
(04:35):
I would go to a doctor and they'd give me
a diagnosis and there was no treatment, and then it
would go away.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
And so I was like, well, whatever that was.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
But as you mentioned, all came to a head when
I started to develop soriatic arthritis, which is basically the
it's kind of like rheumatoid arthritis, but when you have psiasis,
very similar autoimmune arthritis. And I went to the doctor
and we tried several treatments that didn't work, and then
(05:03):
they pulled out the big guns and they would help
me for six months, and then they would wear off,
and then they would double the dose and it would
last for another six months, and then it would wear
off and I'd be in a worse position than I
was when I started. And that went on for about
eighteen months or two years, I think probably two years.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
And then I developed melanoma, and.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
So I went to my rheumatologist and I was like,
because I knew that these drugs had a higher risk
of cancers and specifically melanoma, and I'd never had melanoma before,
so I was putting a quick two and two together
and so I said, hey, Doc, I'm kind of worried, Like,
you know, it's kind of like two paths here. Either
I take the drugs and I have the high potential
(05:50):
of getting melanoma and you know, you know, even dying
from it. Or I don't take the drugs and I
just become more and more crippled and I die in
pained misery. And I said, and I've got like a
young family, so I really can't see myself dying.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
So what do we do here?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
And he's like, well, look, let's just try another drug
in the same class and maybe it won't react the
same way. And all of a sudden, you know, just
alarm bells were going off in my head like, oh gosh, Brad,
this is the flashback you're going to have on your deathbed.
This talk right here, like do not pass go, do
not collect two hundred dollars. And so I went home
(06:30):
and I started to do my own research about my
health and trying to figure out how I could get
better and what that third path.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Forward could be.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
And it took me a lot of time. I mean,
I tried a lot of stuff, don't I tried a
lot of stuff. I mean, diet supplements, different modalities, lifestyle stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I talked to a lot of folks who are sick
and trying to get better, and they'll list off stuff
they've tried. In my head, I'm I was like, yep,
check check, and you know, even stuff that has become
popular in recent years, you know, ten fifteen years, agoes
trying it. And so nothing worked, and I went to
(07:16):
a doctor and he ended up suggesting oxygen and he said,
you should either do hyperbaric oxygen or you should do
e WAT exercise with oxygen therapy. And I'd never heard
of EWOT, like probably most of your listeners, and so
I was like, I'm going to do hyperbaric because that
I've heard of that.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
But it was really prohibitive.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I couldn't do it because I needed to spend seven
days a week. I needed to go into this tube
that was, you know, for ninety minutes a session, plus
pressurization and depressurization time, plus time to travel to and
from a doctor's office. It was going to be two
and a half or three hours a day, and it
was cost prohibitive. It was going to be somewhere between
(07:59):
fifteen seventy five thousand dollars for the whole course of treatments. Yeah, well,
and even worse, like I had tried fifty thousand different
things and nothing works. So this sounded like a really
expensive experiment to find out it didn't work, too. And
you know, I didn't have that many fifty thousand dollars
experiments in my back pocket.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I don't even know if I had one.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
So begrudgingly I looked at this exercise with oxygen therapy thing,
and there were a few companies selling it at the time.
They were charging pretty high prices, but more reasonable five
thousand to twenty five thousand dollars. But it only took
fifteen minutes and you could buy it and do it
in your home. But there really wasn't a lot of
(08:44):
information on it. The only information was coming from the companies,
and it was it was very much hyperbole kind of marketing,
sort of like you know, and it was like, I
just I didn't like I didn't have that faith. And
again it was one of those things like I can't
even see myself plunking down ten grand on another experiment
(09:06):
when nothing's worked.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
I just can't see myself doing it.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
And I looked around the web, and there were no
other folks talking about it. I didn't get to hear
like I didn't hear any consumers saying, hey, I did
the thing and I here's how it helped me. So
it was all It would have been a leap of
faith on this doctor's advice and these companies selling it,
and I didn't have that level faith.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
So I.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Kind of set out and to figure out how it
worked and made my own and it did help. I was,
you know, surprising. That was one of the first things
that helped me, and I started to get better. And
about a year later I went back to that same
doctor and he noticed how much better I was, and
he asked me, you know, who'd you buy it from
so I can tell my patients, And I said, doc,
(09:52):
I didn't buy it.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I just made it, and he kind.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Of was a little bit startled. And then after that
he gave himself a moment to like think that through.
He looked at me kind of and he's like, hey,
would you consider making him for my patients? And I
was kind of like, wow, I wasn't thinking about that.
I don't you know, I just need to get better.
And I still wasn't better. At this point, and so
I said, well, let me think about it.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Doc.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
It took me about another year, and then about a
year later we launched one thousand roads to help make
EWOT more affordable and try to bring some of the
science forward so people could understand it, and also kind
of make it more transparent, so actually have customer reviews
on site, customer testimonials, et cetera. So when people were
(10:40):
in the same situation I was, they could learn more
about it and make an informed decision, and if they
chose to make it affordable, because you know, when you're sick,
you feel like everyone's got a fifty thousand dollars solution
for you, and you don't. Oftentimes it's hard to work
and make money and so you just don't have that.
(11:01):
You know, you don't have that kind of money, and
so we wanted to make it more accessible to people.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh wow, I tell you.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You know, God sends us throughout pain just to help
somebody else through the pain. And you know, although you've
gone through a lot, but it was not in vain.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I think so much I thought about when I was
going through it and trying to get better, as trying
to bring like meaning to all the pain and the
suffering and difficulty, and I thought about that as I
was getting better. I'm like, it would be such a
shame if all this was for nothing, if it was
just so I could go back to life as it
was before. That just seems kind of like foolhardy, Like
(11:48):
you know, you're a different person for it, and you
know you're where I was working had nothing, no relation
to this, And there is this profound sort of gratitude
when you don't think you're ever going to get out
of this thing and you do get out of it,
and you do kind of want to pay it forward
and help other people, at least I did, So that
was that was kind of where this came from, was
(12:09):
a need to bring meaning to my own suffering and
to help other people.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So yeah, yes, indeed, and that's what it's all about.
There's nothing really on the other side of that and living.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Life, right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, So let's talk about to have this oxygen because
I want to give as much as I.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Can and this short pit of time and we may.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Have to have you come back, okay, okay, because this
is already deep for me. So how does oxygen support
the healing process.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Such a great question.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
So obviously we all know oxygen is fundamental to life, right,
like it's needed for everything.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
So in a nutshell, your body.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Has two ways of producing energy. There's what's called aerobic respiration,
which is where it uses oxygen plus you know, glucose
and it turns it into an energy source. And then
there's something called anaerobic respiration. So if your cells can't
get enough oxygen, they have this alternate form where they
just burn the glucose without oxygen. Now, the challenge when
(13:25):
the cells do that is two things happen.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
The first thing that.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Happens is it's much lower energy state, So the cell
can only produce about five percent of the energy without
oxygen as it can with oxygen. So you can imagine
if your battery is going from one hundred percent down
to five percent. There's a lot of stuff your cells
are not able to do. They're kind of like on
life support mode. Now, to compound that whole thing, when
(13:53):
you go into anaerobic respiration, you produce a lot of
metabolic waste products like lacticas. So if you've ever worked
out at the gym and your muscles got sore, that
was lactic acid. So what happened was when you were
working out, you were working your muscles faster than they
could consume oxygen, and so they went anaerobic, and now
(14:16):
they developed all this lactic acid. Well, that lactic acid
is not only a waste product, but it's also causing
further cellular damage. And because your cells are in this
low energy state, they leave all this metabolic waste inside
the cell walls.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So this is a problem.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Obviously, if your cells are not getting enough oxygen, they're
not able to do everything that they're best at. And
that's everything from your brain cells to your heart cells,
to your immune system, to your skin to your bones.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
All of it.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
It all needs oxygen to do what livered the whole thing.
Everything needs oxygen to do whatever it does.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
At its best.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Now, the challenge is as we age every year past
the age of twenty five, our body loses about one
percent of its ability to utilize oxygen.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
And so you don't notice this at first.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
At twenty seven and thirty, you still feel pretty darn good.
But then you get forty, and you get fifty, and
you get sixty and seventy, and you notice you don't
have as much energy as you use to your brain's
fogg ear, you don't remember things as well, you don't
sleep as well, your joints hurt, all.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Of these things.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
That's because what we now call in what's now commonly
referred to is inflammaging, this natural inflammation process that occurs
as we age and as we age and we have inflammation,
it actually chokes off blood supply because there's inflammation inside
of our blood vessels.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
And so what does that do. That causes all the cells.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Downstream to go anaerobic and now they don't have energy
to do what they need to do.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
So the AHA moment for Ewatt was.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
In the nineteen sixty in seventies, was there's this researcher,
very prolific guy. He invented the scanning electron microscope. He
helped with the commercialization of TVs in the nineteen thirties.
His name is Van Arden.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Now, in the.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Nineteen sixties and seventies, he decided to start researching exercise
with oxygen and looking at it particularly for oxygen's strong
anti cancer benefits. And one of the things he found
was when you breathe oxygen while you're exercising, it creates
this really strong anti inflammatory impact, and it reopens all
of those choked off blood vessels. Excuse making a frog
(16:38):
in my throat. The weather is changing here and it
seems to be getting me a little bit. And by changing,
I'm in Texas, so I mean it went from one
hundred and five down to ninety two, so you know,
it's cooling off here.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
A big drop, but still hot.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
So he discovered that it creates this anti inflammatory impact.
And in fact, one of the coolest things I learned
on my journey was oxygen is a really powerful anti
inflammatory so.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
And the sciences is really pretty cool. It shows that.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Anywhere in your body you have low oxygen, you have inflammation,
and anywhere you have inflammation, you have low oxygen.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
And so if we can re establish oxygenation to your tissues,
we're tamping down on the inflammation. And inflammation is at
the root of pretty much every major disease that exists
out there. So we're giving that sells the energy they
need to repair. We're helping them clear out and detoxify
cellular waste, we're strengthening the immune system, and we're tamping
(17:48):
down on inflammation all.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
In one time.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Wow. Well, Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Right, So what is EBO. It's good question.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
So to back up, e stands for exercise with Oxygen therapy,
and it's pretty much what it sounds like.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
What you do is you do a cardiovascular.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Exercise of your choice for just fifteen minutes while you
have a mask on, breathing near pure oxygen about ninety
three percent oxygen. Now, to compare that, at sea level,
we have about twenty one percent oxygen. So it's a
large increase in the fraction of oxygen available to you.
(18:32):
But we're also hijacking all these physiological changes that happen
in your body when you exercise, because like when you exercise,
your body naturally recognizes it's in an oxygen deficit. It's
like I don't have enough oxygen to keep my muscles pumping,
and so it makes all these physiological changes. You're breathing
deeper and faster, your heart's beating faster, your blood vessels
(18:53):
dilate to allow more oxygen to go through. And so
at the same time all that's happening, we're breathing an
increase ratio of oxygen and we're just flooding the body
with oxygen.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
And so in this fifteen minute session.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
You can get as much oxygen as you would get
in a typical day in like twelve or fourteen hours
in just fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, that's amazing, that's right.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
And so that's the power of it is.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
It's about the same as if you were to spend
ninety minutes in a hard show hyperbaric chamber on your back.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
But no one has time to spend ninety minutes, you know.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Plus I'll drive into the doctor and the three hours
that all looks like. And even if you could do
those little light home hyperbaric chambers, they wouldn't be as
effective and they take much more time. But like most
folks can find fifteen minutes. And I think that's actually
one of the things that makes it more powerful than
anything else, is that how accessible it can be to folks,
(19:50):
both from a time perspective and from having it in
your own home perspective.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So whether you have like any ailments or any let's
say you young and you understand what's happening, yep, you
decide to do this.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Is set, recommend it for all ages. I guess what
I'm trying to set.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
We have folks from from teenagers up through very elderly
using it. A lot of them have a variety of
health conditions they're using to help themselves improve their wellness.
I mean a ton of health conditions. You know, we
talked about my lime disease and autoimmunity. We have folks
with long covid, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's cancers, traumatic brain injuries, stroke,
(20:37):
et cetera, et cetera. So many things that it's helpful
with because again, inflammations at the root of so much
and increasing cellular energy increases the healing speed and the
healing capabilities.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Of the body.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
But we also have a group of folks who use
it because it's anti aging you the biohacker set, if
you will. And we have folks who are using it
to proved or just improvement to their health span. Hey,
I'm seventy five and i'm you know, I had a
lawyer call me from Canada.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
He said, you know, I'm I'm in my eighties.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
And I just don't I think I can get four
more hours of work out if I had a clearer
head and had more energy. And I was like, well
you go, man at eighty, you want to keep producing
that power to you? I think this is going to
help you. And then we have folks who use it
for athletic performance. It has an incredible athletic performance. So
if if you're healthy and young and you want to
(21:30):
perform better, great, But that's also really.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Good for folks who are not super healthy.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
So we have folks who are like, yeah, but exercise, yeah, right,
And I get that. But the great thing is when
you have the mask on, the exercise is actually easier.
So I kind of describe it like this, ida like
if you were on the treadmill and doing exercise every
day at like, let's say you're running at five miles
(21:56):
an hour, and then you put the mask on a
five miles an hour, you're not going to feel like
you're getting the same workout. So you're gonna crank it
up to five and a half or maybe even six,
and then in a few months, earn a few weeks,
probably crank it up again, and in a couple of
months again sort of thing for a while. So it's
like it's just easier to do, and so you can
do more of it. And so I think that's powerful
(22:18):
for both folks who want to have better performance, but
also for the regular person who's like I'm not sure
if I can do this sort of thing. So we
have a lot of very sick folks who are starting
out and finding that they're able to improve their health
through this as well. Wow.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Red light therapy, which a lot more people have heard of.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Red light therapy, but what they don't realize is that's
also an kind of an oxygen therapy in its own sense.
So EWAT drives high oxygen supply, and then red light
actually drives high oxygen demand by your mitochondria. So they're
kind of the synergistic blend where they when you put
(23:26):
them together, it's like filling the tank with gas in
a high performance sort of engine. You're able to drive
all of your cells to maximize their oxygen utilization and
their healing abilities.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Wow, so do you offer the red light therapy as well?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
We do.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, that's good because I bullet one of them little things.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
But I haven't been consistent. So yeah, you know how
you're just reading and it works on this, It woraks
on this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So I've built a little one, so I haven't really
played with it as a.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Bunch as I probably should have.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
But now that we're.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Talking, I might have a different perspective.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Now that's right. It's it's really cool, I mean, and
that's how it works.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
So when you hear about all these benefits you're hearing
it helps the bones heal faster, You're help and keep
the skin more youthful, all the other cognitive health, all
these things, it's all the same thing. It's just driving
more oxygen into your cells. And each one of those
cell types, when it has more oxygen, it's able to
heal and repair more quickly. And so and you know
(24:38):
the cool thing about red light is I don't I
would say it's not like a supplement. It's actually, if
you think about it, it's just replacing the red and
when I say red, I mean red and near infrared
we're replacing the red and near infrared that we've actually
phased out, so we all spend so much time endoors
versus where we have historically, and in an effort to
(25:02):
have energy efficiency, all of our lighting systems are generally
designed to screen out reds in near infrared lights because
they create a lot of heat and they don't create
a lot they don't it's not necessarily good for viewing things, right,
It doesn't help with viewing, So we don't want those
because it's a waste of energy. But what that means
(25:24):
is all of us who spend time indoors, myself included,
we go into a natural red light and near infrared
light deficit, and so this is really just replacing that
so that our cells have what they need to do
what they're naturally designed to do.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Wow, and I didn't really under I mean, I've read
some stuff about the red light therapy. That's probably why
I ended up buying it. But now I like the
way you explain things.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
This is like.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So clear and transparent. So thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, So I'm like, really, so with the oxygen therapy,
I know you listed a few things that people can
get help with what other things can people you know,
like diseases.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
I mean it's look, here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
At the at the end of the day, go pick
a disease and go look at it and research it,
and likely at the root is inflammation.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yes, right, we all know this.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
This is and then and you're going to find a
few things that are common inflammation metabolic problems, meaning generally
your mitochondria are having issues. Our mitochondria are the what
are known as the powerhouses of our cells. Those are
the components of our cells that actually take oxygen in
and produce energy, and there's some of the most fragile
(26:50):
parts of the cell. They're the things that are most
easily damaged by oxidative stress by foreign invaders like infectious agents,
et cetera. And so.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Pretty much. Then there's this second layer that.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Happens with a lot of chronic illness, which is, first
you have this metabolic problem, you have this inflammation that
occurs because of it, and then you have what i'll
call toxic overload. Whether it's an infectious agent that's filling
your cells in your immune system with toxins to suppress them,
or whether it's like Alzheimer's. We talk about all the
(27:28):
plaques and the tangles and what's going on in there,
you know, all these different things. There's the inability of
the body to clear out these waste products.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
And so we help with the inflammation.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
It helps with detoxification through a variety of channels, but
one like the most simple way to explain it is
when your body wants to take a toxin out, it
often needs to break it into a simpler molecule that
your liver and your kidneys can and your elimination organs
can excrete. And the process whereby it does that is
called oxidation, which is literally using oxygen is kind of
(28:07):
I'll call it a catalyst, but that's probably not the
right term.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Using oxygen in a.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Reaction to break it apart so that we can get
it out of the body. So, anything that involves inflammation
and anything that involves damage tissue, and anything that involves toxins.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
In the body, we've seen a lot of great things.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
That's autoimmunity, that's chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, long covid. Like I said,
brain health issues, neurological issues, so ment, cancers. A lot
of research that shows that cancer can't survive in an
oxygen rich environment, and a lot of research that shows
(28:51):
that the survival rate of people with cancer is directly
correlated to how much oxygen is in the tumor, and
their success whether they use traditional therapies or not, is
directly correlated to the tumor oxygen status. So it's kind
of crazy when you get down to it. There's a
(29:12):
doctor Arthur Goeuiton. Arthur Geiton wrote the book called Medical Physiology.
In every doctor any of us have ever seen since
the nineteen fifties has had to read his textbook in
medical school. It's still the gold standard today. And he's
got this quote that I love where he just says,
at the root of all disease is lack of oxygen
(29:36):
at the cellular level, and that's really it. And so
obviously we're helping folks reoxygenate those cells.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You a God given God gift because a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Are in pain, and you know a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Of people are out there take in pharmaceutical medications.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
This really not helping them. I mean it's a temporary fix.
We all know that. It's like I'm aa feel better right.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Now, or what I hate is you sleep, Everything knocks
you out, so you vegetate.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
What We're all looking for a higher quality of life,
you know, like not just duration when people say I
want to live longer. No one wants to live longer
if if life stinks. They want to have more years
of feeling great and enjoying this this you know, this
god given body we have sort of speak right, So
(30:38):
I think it's really about health span more than life spanning.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
That's really the goal.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yes, you hit it on the nose, you know, because
who wants to be around all broken up?
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
And do not?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
I can relate. Yeah, I think back to some of
those days. It's and that's that's kind of where it
came from. It is like it can be a very
dark place when you're there, especially you know, I had
lime disease, And it's kind of like when you tell
a doctor you have lime disease, they look at you
like you said you saw Bigfoot.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Half the time they tell you it.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Doesn't exist, or you know, even even when you can
show them like, hey, look, you know there's I've got
the DNA of the bacteria inside me, they still are
kind of.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Like, yeah, I haven't heard of that.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Test, you know, like sort of like so's I would say,
it's kind of like a do it yourself sort of disease.
Once you have it, like you're kind of like it's
like being dropped in the forest and like have a
fun time, find your way out hopefully, And so it is.
It's a very it's a very isolating place to be
when you're you're very sick, and all you ever want
is to be back in a place where you can
(31:46):
try to enjoy your life and move forward. So that
was a gift to me. And so that's a gift
I tried to help push forward.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yes, yes, and I am definitely seeing that you're doing that.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
So again, how do people get product?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yep, you can purchase on our website. So, like I said,
it's one thousand roads dot com O N E T
h O U S A N D R o A
d S dot com. We have our systems on there,
we have our red lights on there. And if you're
not you know, if you want to learn more, like
I said, the best place to go is one thousand

(32:28):
a fresh video every week with more content to help
educate people. And you can also follow along in the
comments and the community that we're building there as well.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Writing now, So now I'm gonna have to get on
over there and sign myself up because I'm definitely interested
in this because I know folks like I just talked
to a friend of mine last night and she something
going on with our back she can.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Move, and I'm like, oh my god, you know, I
mean she and Assauge share so she need to know
about you.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
That's great, that is for sure, and I'd like your
approach to it.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
You know, it's very clear.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, most people can understand how things are interacting
the way that you explain it. So I really, really,
this has been an amazing time with you.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Thank you so much, Ida, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yes, yes, indeed so, Audience, you definitely want to connect
with Bred, especially if you or someone you know have inflammation,
which we've just learned is the root of all illnesses.
Connect and I will make sure when this is that
(33:51):
you have everything you need to connect. So thank you
again for joining us and Bred.
Speaker 3 (33:57):

Welcome all to Just Mind in my Business Media.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I hope you are having an amazing day and I
am so honored to bring my next guests this week
who After years of struggling with the mysterious health issues,
Brad's life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with autoimmune
(02:13):
arthritis in twenty ten and malignant melanoma in twenty fourteen.
Through his doctors prescribed treatments, Bred grew uneasy about the
potential increase in cancer risk and these therapies. Pose Determined
to find a safer, more holistic path, he dived deeper
(02:34):
into his health and uncovered additional infections, lime disease and
what is that botanella? Did I say that right?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
As his fatigue, brain fog, and limited mobility became overwhelming,
Grad sought alternatives that could offer real relief. Wow, I
am so excited to have you because, like we were
talking before we came on air, I'm a holistic beast.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I am.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I do not take a lot of pharmaceutical medicines at all.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Love that, love that as well.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Yeah, at some point, sometimes it takes a health crisis
for some of us to figure out that we've got
to own our own wellness.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So you're absolutely right.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I tell my children something I say, I tell them
al wisdom is pain. Now the question is whether it's
yours or somebody else's. In my case, I needed to
learn it through my own pain that like, I needed
to do it a different way.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, and that's usually how it happens. You know, we
don't believe.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Until it happens to us, and then it's like, okay,
this is real.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So tell us what.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Did you do? Just give us the timeline.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Well, I had, you know, I've had weird health stuff
going on since at least first or second grade.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Some of them were persistent.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
I had syriasis that developed at that time, and I,
you know, never really got rid of it. Sometimes it
was worse, sometimes it was better. It was never horrible though.
It's mostly like on my scalp and you couldn't see it,
and I'd get a patch here and there, and then
I'd have other weird things that were probably more obtrusive
in my life, but they would kind of come and go.
(04:35):
I would go to a doctor and they'd give me
a diagnosis and there was no treatment, and then it
would go away.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
And so I was like, well, whatever that was.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
But as you mentioned, all came to a head when
I started to develop soriatic arthritis, which is basically the
it's kind of like rheumatoid arthritis, but when you have psiasis,
very similar autoimmune arthritis. And I went to the doctor
and we tried several treatments that didn't work, and then
(05:03):
they pulled out the big guns and they would help
me for six months, and then they would wear off,
and then they would double the dose and it would
last for another six months, and then it would wear
off and I'd be in a worse position than I
was when I started. And that went on for about
eighteen months or two years, I think probably two years.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
And then I developed melanoma, and.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
So I went to my rheumatologist and I was like,
because I knew that these drugs had a higher risk
of cancers and specifically melanoma, and I'd never had melanoma before,
so I was putting a quick two and two together
and so I said, hey, Doc, I'm kind of worried, Like,
you know, it's kind of like two paths here. Either
I take the drugs and I have the high potential
(05:50):
of getting melanoma and you know, you know, even dying
from it. Or I don't take the drugs and I
just become more and more crippled and I die in
pained misery. And I said, and I've got like a
young family, so I really can't see myself dying.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
So what do we do here?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
And he's like, well, look, let's just try another drug
in the same class and maybe it won't react the
same way. And all of a sudden, you know, just
alarm bells were going off in my head like, oh gosh, Brad,
this is the flashback you're going to have on your deathbed.
This talk right here, like do not pass go, do
not collect two hundred dollars. And so I went home
(06:30):
and I started to do my own research about my
health and trying to figure out how I could get
better and what that third path.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Forward could be.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
And it took me a lot of time. I mean,
I tried a lot of stuff, don't I tried a
lot of stuff. I mean, diet supplements, different modalities, lifestyle stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I talked to a lot of folks who are sick
and trying to get better, and they'll list off stuff
they've tried. In my head, I'm I was like, yep,
check check, and you know, even stuff that has become
popular in recent years, you know, ten fifteen years, agoes
trying it. And so nothing worked, and I went to
(07:16):
a doctor and he ended up suggesting oxygen and he said,
you should either do hyperbaric oxygen or you should do
e WAT exercise with oxygen therapy. And I'd never heard
of EWOT, like probably most of your listeners, and so
I was like, I'm going to do hyperbaric because that
I've heard of that.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
But it was really prohibitive.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I couldn't do it because I needed to spend seven
days a week. I needed to go into this tube
that was, you know, for ninety minutes a session, plus
pressurization and depressurization time, plus time to travel to and
from a doctor's office. It was going to be two
and a half or three hours a day, and it
was cost prohibitive. It was going to be somewhere between
(07:59):
fifteen seventy five thousand dollars for the whole course of treatments. Yeah, well,
and even worse, like I had tried fifty thousand different
things and nothing works. So this sounded like a really
expensive experiment to find out it didn't work, too. And
you know, I didn't have that many fifty thousand dollars
experiments in my back pocket.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I don't even know if I had one.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
So begrudgingly I looked at this exercise with oxygen therapy thing,
and there were a few companies selling it at the time.
They were charging pretty high prices, but more reasonable five
thousand to twenty five thousand dollars. But it only took
fifteen minutes and you could buy it and do it
in your home. But there really wasn't a lot of
(08:44):
information on it. The only information was coming from the companies,
and it was it was very much hyperbole kind of marketing,
sort of like you know, and it was like, I
just I didn't like I didn't have that faith. And
again it was one of those things like I can't
even see myself plunking down ten grand on another experiment
(09:06):
when nothing's worked.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
I just can't see myself doing it.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
And I looked around the web, and there were no
other folks talking about it. I didn't get to hear
like I didn't hear any consumers saying, hey, I did
the thing and I here's how it helped me. So
it was all It would have been a leap of
faith on this doctor's advice and these companies selling it,
and I didn't have that level faith.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
So I.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Kind of set out and to figure out how it
worked and made my own and it did help. I was,
you know, surprising. That was one of the first things
that helped me, and I started to get better. And
about a year later I went back to that same
doctor and he noticed how much better I was, and
he asked me, you know, who'd you buy it from
so I can tell my patients, And I said, doc,
(09:52):
I didn't buy it.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I just made it, and he kind.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Of was a little bit startled. And then after that
he gave himself a moment to like think that through.
He looked at me kind of and he's like, hey,
would you consider making him for my patients? And I
was kind of like, wow, I wasn't thinking about that.
I don't you know, I just need to get better.
And I still wasn't better. At this point, and so
I said, well, let me think about it.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Doc.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
It took me about another year, and then about a
year later we launched one thousand roads to help make
EWOT more affordable and try to bring some of the
science forward so people could understand it, and also kind
of make it more transparent, so actually have customer reviews
on site, customer testimonials, et cetera. So when people were
(10:40):
in the same situation I was, they could learn more
about it and make an informed decision, and if they
chose to make it affordable, because you know, when you're sick,
you feel like everyone's got a fifty thousand dollars solution
for you, and you don't. Oftentimes it's hard to work
and make money and so you just don't have that.
(11:01):
You know, you don't have that kind of money, and
so we wanted to make it more accessible to people.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh wow, I tell you.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You know, God sends us throughout pain just to help
somebody else through the pain. And you know, although you've
gone through a lot, but it was not in vain.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I think so much I thought about when I was
going through it and trying to get better, as trying
to bring like meaning to all the pain and the
suffering and difficulty, and I thought about that as I
was getting better. I'm like, it would be such a
shame if all this was for nothing, if it was
just so I could go back to life as it
was before. That just seems kind of like foolhardy, Like
(11:48):
you know, you're a different person for it, and you
know you're where I was working had nothing, no relation
to this, And there is this profound sort of gratitude
when you don't think you're ever going to get out
of this thing and you do get out of it,
and you do kind of want to pay it forward
and help other people, at least I did, So that
was that was kind of where this came from, was
(12:09):
a need to bring meaning to my own suffering and
to help other people.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So yeah, yes, indeed, and that's what it's all about.
There's nothing really on the other side of that and living.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Life, right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, So let's talk about to have this oxygen because
I want to give as much as I.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Can and this short pit of time and we may.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Have to have you come back, okay, okay, because this
is already deep for me. So how does oxygen support
the healing process.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Such a great question.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
So obviously we all know oxygen is fundamental to life, right,
like it's needed for everything.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
So in a nutshell, your body.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Has two ways of producing energy. There's what's called aerobic respiration,
which is where it uses oxygen plus you know, glucose
and it turns it into an energy source. And then
there's something called anaerobic respiration. So if your cells can't
get enough oxygen, they have this alternate form where they
just burn the glucose without oxygen. Now, the challenge when
(13:25):
the cells do that is two things happen.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
The first thing that.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Happens is it's much lower energy state, So the cell
can only produce about five percent of the energy without
oxygen as it can with oxygen. So you can imagine
if your battery is going from one hundred percent down
to five percent. There's a lot of stuff your cells
are not able to do. They're kind of like on
life support mode. Now, to compound that whole thing, when
(13:53):
you go into anaerobic respiration, you produce a lot of
metabolic waste products like lacticas. So if you've ever worked
out at the gym and your muscles got sore, that
was lactic acid. So what happened was when you were
working out, you were working your muscles faster than they
could consume oxygen, and so they went anaerobic, and now
(14:16):
they developed all this lactic acid. Well, that lactic acid
is not only a waste product, but it's also causing
further cellular damage. And because your cells are in this
low energy state, they leave all this metabolic waste inside
the cell walls.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So this is a problem.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Obviously, if your cells are not getting enough oxygen, they're
not able to do everything that they're best at. And
that's everything from your brain cells to your heart cells,
to your immune system, to your skin to your bones.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
All of it.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
It all needs oxygen to do what livered the whole thing.
Everything needs oxygen to do whatever it does.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
At its best.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Now, the challenge is as we age every year past
the age of twenty five, our body loses about one
percent of its ability to utilize oxygen.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
And so you don't notice this at first.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
At twenty seven and thirty, you still feel pretty darn good.
But then you get forty, and you get fifty, and
you get sixty and seventy, and you notice you don't
have as much energy as you use to your brain's
fogg ear, you don't remember things as well, you don't
sleep as well, your joints hurt, all.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Of these things.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
That's because what we now call in what's now commonly
referred to is inflammaging, this natural inflammation process that occurs
as we age and as we age and we have inflammation,
it actually chokes off blood supply because there's inflammation inside
of our blood vessels.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
And so what does that do. That causes all the cells.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Downstream to go anaerobic and now they don't have energy
to do what they need to do.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
So the AHA moment for Ewatt was.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
In the nineteen sixty in seventies, was there's this researcher,
very prolific guy. He invented the scanning electron microscope. He
helped with the commercialization of TVs in the nineteen thirties.
His name is Van Arden.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Now, in the.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Nineteen sixties and seventies, he decided to start researching exercise
with oxygen and looking at it particularly for oxygen's strong
anti cancer benefits. And one of the things he found
was when you breathe oxygen while you're exercising, it creates
this really strong anti inflammatory impact, and it reopens all
of those choked off blood vessels. Excuse making a frog
(16:38):
in my throat. The weather is changing here and it
seems to be getting me a little bit. And by changing,
I'm in Texas, so I mean it went from one
hundred and five down to ninety two, so you know,
it's cooling off here.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
A big drop, but still hot.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
So he discovered that it creates this anti inflammatory impact.
And in fact, one of the coolest things I learned
on my journey was oxygen is a really powerful anti
inflammatory so.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
And the sciences is really pretty cool. It shows that.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Anywhere in your body you have low oxygen, you have inflammation,
and anywhere you have inflammation, you have low oxygen.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
And so if we can re establish oxygenation to your tissues,
we're tamping down on the inflammation. And inflammation is at
the root of pretty much every major disease that exists
out there. So we're giving that sells the energy they
need to repair. We're helping them clear out and detoxify
cellular waste, we're strengthening the immune system, and we're tamping
(17:48):
down on inflammation all.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
In one time.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Wow. Well, Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Right, So what is EBO. It's good question.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
So to back up, e stands for exercise with Oxygen therapy,
and it's pretty much what it sounds like.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
What you do is you do a cardiovascular.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Exercise of your choice for just fifteen minutes while you
have a mask on, breathing near pure oxygen about ninety
three percent oxygen. Now, to compare that, at sea level,
we have about twenty one percent oxygen. So it's a
large increase in the fraction of oxygen available to you.
(18:32):
But we're also hijacking all these physiological changes that happen
in your body when you exercise, because like when you exercise,
your body naturally recognizes it's in an oxygen deficit. It's
like I don't have enough oxygen to keep my muscles pumping,
and so it makes all these physiological changes. You're breathing
deeper and faster, your heart's beating faster, your blood vessels
(18:53):
dilate to allow more oxygen to go through. And so
at the same time all that's happening, we're breathing an
increase ratio of oxygen and we're just flooding the body
with oxygen.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
And so in this fifteen minute session.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
You can get as much oxygen as you would get
in a typical day in like twelve or fourteen hours
in just fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, that's amazing, that's right.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
And so that's the power of it is.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
It's about the same as if you were to spend
ninety minutes in a hard show hyperbaric chamber on your back.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
But no one has time to spend ninety minutes, you know.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Plus I'll drive into the doctor and the three hours
that all looks like. And even if you could do
those little light home hyperbaric chambers, they wouldn't be as
effective and they take much more time. But like most
folks can find fifteen minutes. And I think that's actually
one of the things that makes it more powerful than
anything else, is that how accessible it can be to folks,
(19:50):
both from a time perspective and from having it in
your own home perspective.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So whether you have like any ailments or any let's
say you young and you understand what's happening, yep, you
decide to do this.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Is set, recommend it for all ages. I guess what
I'm trying to set.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
We have folks from from teenagers up through very elderly
using it. A lot of them have a variety of
health conditions they're using to help themselves improve their wellness.
I mean a ton of health conditions. You know, we
talked about my lime disease and autoimmunity. We have folks
with long covid, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's cancers, traumatic brain injuries, stroke,
(20:37):
et cetera, et cetera. So many things that it's helpful
with because again, inflammations at the root of so much
and increasing cellular energy increases the healing speed and the
healing capabilities.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Of the body.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
But we also have a group of folks who use
it because it's anti aging you the biohacker set, if
you will. And we have folks who are using it
to proved or just improvement to their health span. Hey,
I'm seventy five and i'm you know, I had a
lawyer call me from Canada.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
He said, you know, I'm I'm in my eighties.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
And I just don't I think I can get four
more hours of work out if I had a clearer
head and had more energy. And I was like, well
you go, man at eighty, you want to keep producing
that power to you? I think this is going to
help you. And then we have folks who use it
for athletic performance. It has an incredible athletic performance. So
if if you're healthy and young and you want to
(21:30):
perform better, great, But that's also really.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Good for folks who are not super healthy.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
So we have folks who are like, yeah, but exercise, yeah, right,
And I get that. But the great thing is when
you have the mask on, the exercise is actually easier.
So I kind of describe it like this, ida like
if you were on the treadmill and doing exercise every
day at like, let's say you're running at five miles
(21:56):
an hour, and then you put the mask on a
five miles an hour, you're not going to feel like
you're getting the same workout. So you're gonna crank it
up to five and a half or maybe even six,
and then in a few months, earn a few weeks,
probably crank it up again, and in a couple of
months again sort of thing for a while. So it's
like it's just easier to do, and so you can
do more of it. And so I think that's powerful
(22:18):
for both folks who want to have better performance, but
also for the regular person who's like I'm not sure
if I can do this sort of thing. So we
have a lot of very sick folks who are starting
out and finding that they're able to improve their health
through this as well. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So how can people get connected with you to get
this product?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Our website is one thousand roads dot com. It's all
spelled out O N E th h O U s
A N d R o A d s dot com,
so they can go there. They can also go to
our YouTube channel to learn more about it. It's one
thousand roads HQ, all spelled out. We talk about we
(22:57):
talk about two things. We talk about EWAT, which we
just about now, and we talk about.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Red light therapy, which a lot more people have heard of.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Red light therapy, but what they don't realize is that's
also an kind of an oxygen therapy in its own sense.
So EWAT drives high oxygen supply, and then red light
actually drives high oxygen demand by your mitochondria. So they're
kind of the synergistic blend where they when you put
(23:26):
them together, it's like filling the tank with gas in
a high performance sort of engine. You're able to drive
all of your cells to maximize their oxygen utilization and
their healing abilities.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Wow, so do you offer the red light therapy as well?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
We do.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, that's good because I bullet one of them little things.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
But I haven't been consistent. So yeah, you know how
you're just reading and it works on this, It woraks
on this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So I've built a little one, so I haven't really
played with it as a.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Bunch as I probably should have.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
But now that we're.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Talking, I might have a different perspective.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Now that's right. It's it's really cool, I mean, and
that's how it works.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
So when you hear about all these benefits you're hearing
it helps the bones heal faster, You're help and keep
the skin more youthful, all the other cognitive health, all
these things, it's all the same thing. It's just driving
more oxygen into your cells. And each one of those
cell types, when it has more oxygen, it's able to
heal and repair more quickly. And so and you know
(24:38):
the cool thing about red light is I don't I
would say it's not like a supplement. It's actually, if
you think about it, it's just replacing the red and
when I say red, I mean red and near infrared
we're replacing the red and near infrared that we've actually
phased out, so we all spend so much time endoors
versus where we have historically, and in an effort to
(25:02):
have energy efficiency, all of our lighting systems are generally
designed to screen out reds in near infrared lights because
they create a lot of heat and they don't create
a lot they don't it's not necessarily good for viewing things, right,
It doesn't help with viewing, So we don't want those
because it's a waste of energy. But what that means
(25:24):
is all of us who spend time indoors, myself included,
we go into a natural red light and near infrared
light deficit, and so this is really just replacing that
so that our cells have what they need to do
what they're naturally designed to do.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Wow, and I didn't really under I mean, I've read
some stuff about the red light therapy. That's probably why
I ended up buying it. But now I like the
way you explain things.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
This is like.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So clear and transparent. So thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, So I'm like, really, so with the oxygen therapy,
I know you listed a few things that people can
get help with what other things can people you know,
like diseases.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
I mean it's look, here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
At the at the end of the day, go pick
a disease and go look at it and research it,
and likely at the root is inflammation.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yes, right, we all know this.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
This is and then and you're going to find a
few things that are common inflammation metabolic problems, meaning generally
your mitochondria are having issues. Our mitochondria are the what
are known as the powerhouses of our cells. Those are
the components of our cells that actually take oxygen in
and produce energy, and there's some of the most fragile
(26:50):
parts of the cell. They're the things that are most
easily damaged by oxidative stress by foreign invaders like infectious agents,
et cetera. And so.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Pretty much. Then there's this second layer that.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Happens with a lot of chronic illness, which is, first
you have this metabolic problem, you have this inflammation that
occurs because of it, and then you have what i'll
call toxic overload. Whether it's an infectious agent that's filling
your cells in your immune system with toxins to suppress them,
or whether it's like Alzheimer's. We talk about all the
(27:28):
plaques and the tangles and what's going on in there,
you know, all these different things. There's the inability of
the body to clear out these waste products.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
And so we help with the inflammation.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
It helps with detoxification through a variety of channels, but
one like the most simple way to explain it is
when your body wants to take a toxin out, it
often needs to break it into a simpler molecule that
your liver and your kidneys can and your elimination organs
can excrete. And the process whereby it does that is
called oxidation, which is literally using oxygen is kind of
(28:07):
I'll call it a catalyst, but that's probably not the
right term.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Using oxygen in a.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Reaction to break it apart so that we can get
it out of the body. So, anything that involves inflammation
and anything that involves damage tissue, and anything that involves toxins.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
In the body, we've seen a lot of great things.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
That's autoimmunity, that's chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, long covid. Like I said,
brain health issues, neurological issues, so ment, cancers. A lot
of research that shows that cancer can't survive in an
oxygen rich environment, and a lot of research that shows
(28:51):
that the survival rate of people with cancer is directly
correlated to how much oxygen is in the tumor, and
their success whether they use traditional therapies or not, is
directly correlated to the tumor oxygen status. So it's kind
of crazy when you get down to it. There's a
(29:12):
doctor Arthur Goeuiton. Arthur Geiton wrote the book called Medical Physiology.
In every doctor any of us have ever seen since
the nineteen fifties has had to read his textbook in
medical school. It's still the gold standard today. And he's
got this quote that I love where he just says,
at the root of all disease is lack of oxygen
(29:36):
at the cellular level, and that's really it. And so
obviously we're helping folks reoxygenate those cells.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You a God given God gift because a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Are in pain, and you know a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Of people are out there take in pharmaceutical medications.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
This really not helping them. I mean it's a temporary fix.
We all know that. It's like I'm aa feel better right.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Now, or what I hate is you sleep, Everything knocks
you out, so you vegetate.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
What We're all looking for a higher quality of life,
you know, like not just duration when people say I
want to live longer. No one wants to live longer
if if life stinks. They want to have more years
of feeling great and enjoying this this you know, this
god given body we have sort of speak right, So
(30:38):
I think it's really about health span more than life spanning.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
That's really the goal.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yes, you hit it on the nose, you know, because
who wants to be around all broken up?
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
And do not?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
I can relate. Yeah, I think back to some of
those days. It's and that's that's kind of where it
came from. It is like it can be a very
dark place when you're there, especially you know, I had
lime disease, And it's kind of like when you tell
a doctor you have lime disease, they look at you
like you said you saw Bigfoot.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Half the time they tell you it.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Doesn't exist, or you know, even even when you can
show them like, hey, look, you know there's I've got
the DNA of the bacteria inside me, they still are
kind of.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Like, yeah, I haven't heard of that.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Test, you know, like sort of like so's I would say,
it's kind of like a do it yourself sort of disease.
Once you have it, like you're kind of like it's
like being dropped in the forest and like have a
fun time, find your way out hopefully, And so it is.
It's a very it's a very isolating place to be
when you're you're very sick, and all you ever want
is to be back in a place where you can
(31:46):
try to enjoy your life and move forward. So that
was a gift to me. And so that's a gift
I tried to help push forward.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yes, yes, and I am definitely seeing that you're doing that.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
So again, how do people get product?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yep, you can purchase on our website. So, like I said,
it's one thousand roads dot com O N E T
h O U S A N D R o A
d S dot com. We have our systems on there,
we have our red lights on there. And if you're
not you know, if you want to learn more, like
I said, the best place to go is one thousand
Roads HQ on our YouTube channel and we put out
(32:28):
a fresh video every week with more content to help
educate people. And you can also follow along in the
comments and the community that we're building there as well.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Writing now, So now I'm gonna have to get on
over there and sign myself up because I'm definitely interested
in this because I know folks like I just talked
to a friend of mine last night and she something
going on with our back she can.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Move, and I'm like, oh my god, you know, I
mean she and Assauge share so she need to know
about you.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
That's great, that is for sure, and I'd like your
approach to it.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
You know, it's very clear.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, most people can understand how things are interacting
the way that you explain it. So I really, really,
this has been an amazing time with you.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Thank you so much, Ida, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yes, yes, indeed so, Audience, you definitely want to connect
with Bred, especially if you or someone you know have inflammation,
which we've just learned is the root of all illnesses.
Connect and I will make sure when this is that
(33:51):
you have everything you need to connect. So thank you
again for joining us and Bred.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Thank you for all that you do.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Thank you, Ida, I appreciate your time.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Thank you to our guests and you our values.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Audience. Let's stop you by. We truly appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Many blessings to you and yours

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
