Stillness is the Key

Ryan Holiday

In 'Stillness is the Key', Ryan Holiday explores the concept of inner stillness as a universal principle across different philosophical and religious traditions, including Stoicism, Buddhism, Epicureanism, and more. The book is divided into three sections: stillness of the mind, stillness of the spirit, and stillness of the body. Holiday argues that cultivating stillness allows for better decision-making, increased focus, and a more fulfilling life. He uses anecdotes from historical figures and contemporary examples to illustrate the importance of moderation, patience, and self-awareness in achieving this state of stillness[2][3][5].

EMF*D

5G, Wi-Fi & Cell Phones: Hidden Harms and How to Protect Yourself

Dr. Joseph Mercola

EMF*D by Dr. Joseph Mercola explores the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic fields from everyday technology like cell phones and Wi-Fi. The book offers practical strategies to minimize exposure and protect oneself from these harmful effects. It also delves into the implications of 5G technology and advocates for increased awareness and regulation of EMFs.

The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs

Nicolas Pineault

This book provides a straightforward approach to understanding the risks associated with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from devices like smartphones and Wi-Fi routers. It offers practical tips on how to minimize exposure without abandoning modern technology. The book covers topics such as the health impacts of EMFs, how to reduce cellphone radiation, and safer alternatives to common devices.

Dirty Electricity

Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization

Samuel Milham

Dirty Electricity delves into the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic field exposure, linking it to diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and more. Dr. Milham discusses how modern technology, including cell phones and Wi-Fi, may contribute to these health issues and suggests steps to mitigate these risks.

Perennial seller

The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts

Ryan Holiday

In 'Perennial Seller', Ryan Holiday explores the principles behind creating works that endure and thrive long after their initial release. He argues that these 'perennial sellers' are not flukes but are built to last from the outset. The book is divided into four parts: the creative process, positioning, marketing, and platform. Holiday uses examples from various industries, including music, restaurants, and literature, to illustrate how creators can ensure their work remains relevant and continues to attract new customers over time. He emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to both the creation and marketing of the work, as well as the need for patience, dedication, and a strong platform of loyal supporters[2][3][4].

Carnivore Code

Paul Saladino

This week, I sat slack-jawed and shocked in my bed as I read my friend Dr. Joseph Mercola's new book EMF'D: 5G, Wi-Fi & Cell Phones: Hidden Harms & How To Protect Yourself.

The hazards of electronic pollution may once have been the stuff of science fiction, but now we know they're all too real. And with the advent of 5G ultra-wideband technology, the danger is greater than ever.

The dangers of electromagnetic fields are real - and I just had to get Dr. Mercola on this podcast to talk about exactly what they are and how you can protect yourself. He's one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health, and in this latest title, he has mined the scientific literature to offer a radical new understanding of how electromagnetic fields impact your body and mind.

In this first-of-its-kind guide, he reveals:

• What EMFs (electromagnetic fields) actually are, where you find them in your daily life, and how they affect you

• The toll that EMFs have been proven to take in conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neuropsychiatric illnesses

• Why you've been largely kept in the dark about this threat to your health

• How you can actually repair the damage done by EMFs at a cellular level

• Practical strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones from EMFs at home, at work, and out in the world

The coming 5G technology will be pervasive and powerful. It will also be one of the largest public-health experiments in history-with no way of opting out. That's why you need to listen to. Now.

During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why Dr. Mercola wrote this new book...7:26

Mitochondrial dysfunction is really one of the primary ways we age and develop chronic illness
Three years ago realized EMFs were one of the primary ways our mitochondria are damaged and very few people were warning the public about that
Written 14 books but this is my last one for 5-10 years as I have a new strategy for creating content

-Dr. Mercola's new strategy for creating content...9:22

Well you were a major part in that when you told me it took you three years to write you new book Boundless and it had 3000 references.
Another factor was conversation I had with Dave Asprey in a private party we were both at JJ Virgin at Mindshare and he recommended a book by Ryan Holiday Perennial Seller which I read and helped me understand how to write a classic book that will be read for decades requires many years to create and many many drafts of the book as the first few drafts are typically terrible.
So rather than write more books I am going to be writing scientific reviews for journals. It has been about twenty years since I published in the science journals and I thought I was about time to start up again
Especially because I have some GREAT secret sauce resources to do that and I can share with your audience

-Oh yeah? What are those resources?...12:30

One is my science editor, Tyler Lebaron who I introduced you to and you did podcast on molecular hydrogen. He is one of the sharpest scientists I know, humble, brilliant chemist, biochemist and knows molecular biology well and he is reviewing all the science I compile for accuracy.
The big one is RSS feeds (really simple syndication), which is essentially an easy way to stay up to date with your favorite websites, such as blogs or online magazines or PubMed which is really important
RSS feeds were how I was able to find and write about so much great content in the early days of my site. In 2005 I used an RSS reader called Google Reader but they shut it down six years ago.
Would not use it now though even if it was up because Google is evil on steroids.
Alternatives to Google
Meta.org RSS Feed search for PubMed lets you follow as many search terms so you don’t have to go to Pub Med every day and do individual searches for them
There has been a trend towards open access and now nearly 1/3 articles on PubMed are now free to read
If you or someone you know has academic credentials at a university you can typically get free access
ResearchGate.com
25 page paper with 200 references on blood flow restriction (BFR). It isn’t published yet but I can give your listeners a 25 page consumer summary with videos and if they want can send the review paper after it is published in BFR.Mercola.com

-Why does the public not accept that EMF is a serious danger to their health?...22:00

In 2011, the WHO labels cell phones as a class 2B carcinogen
2018, NTP study shows that cell phones are clearly class I carcinogen
Cellphones are the cigarettes of the 21st century
- Kills you slowly
- Companies knew it killed customers (as do cell phone companies)
- Same PR agencies discredit researchers (creating doubt and controversy among the public)
Convenient and useful
Invisible Captured media
Captured federal regulatory agencies
FCC started 6 BILLION dollar program to spread 5G to rural areas
EMF is unavoidable (unlike cigarette smoke, which you can mitigate somewhat)

-What's 5G, exactly, and why would folks want it in the first place?...32:15

100X faster than 4G. Most don’t need it now
Possible commercials use that need high bandwidth like self-driving cars
SpaceX rollout
There have been zero safety studies on the effects of 5G
AT&T
As we start 2020 implementation is not widespread. Companies like AT&T lie and say it is 5G and it isn’t
Go to browser on phone and go to fast.com and hit enter unless > 500 megs per second it is NOT 5G
Fiber optic cable is the best alternative to 5G
It's essentially a giant public health experiment

-How to mitigate NAD damage from EMF, and how can we increase it in our bodies...47:25

Limit exposure to EMF
Exercise and intermittent fasting increase NAMPT by 30%
Precursors and Chris Shade’s new liposomal NMN
Quicksilver NAD+
James Clement out of Gainesville will help us figure this out with his new mass spect to measure NAD+ Read here
The Switch book by James Clement; discusses cycling between mTOR inhibition and activation
Ketone Aid
Water and Wellness hydrogen tablets

-How to activate the NRF2 pathway...1:03:21

Polyphenols like broccoli glucoraphanin and moringa but don’t recommend these xenohormetics
Steamed nettle has many of the same biochemical qualities as moringa
Favorite is molecular hydrogen

-Why magnesium is a good supplement, and the best forms to take...1:06:30

Best form is ionic magnesium not attached to anything and that would be molecular hydrogen
Other favorites threonate, malate, and citrate
Calm magnesium citrate...Canna CalMag
Hydroxy free radicals
Carnosine
MAG SRT

-Technologies that can repair the damage caused by EMF...1:11:36

Don’t rely on harmonizers; false sense of security
First order of priority is to measure and lower exposure
Carnosine is my new passion and the topic of the second review
Even experts in carnivore like Paul Saladino haven’t deeply studied this
