QYP 14: DR. JOSH LAMARO ON BIOENERGETICS, INFRARED LIGHT AND FASCIA
Functional laboratory testing in the areas of hormones, inflammatory markers, allergy testing and genomic assessment put the patient’s whole health scenario into the context of the presenting complaint, and enable Josh to offer more than just traditional osteopathy to clients who seek optimal health.
Who shall decide, when doctors disagree? A mitochondriac uses data as their discipline.
Excellence in nature is a range of differences, and is never based upon a present moment of current belief. Disagreement is part of the world of science. I belive disagreement is “ an evolutionary revolution” that leads to scientific change. It happens all the time in true scientific meetings and no one gets upset about the arguments. Once they are done you go back and think about what each side says and you decide who is right. In fact, I recorded a podcast this week with Kevin Cottrell that is not live yet where I talk about this aspect of science and disagreement and how it is 180 degrees opposite of what we find at bio-hacking and technology conferences or on social media. Many packs of the wild animals on social media contain the absurd rationale that disagreement must imply disrespect. In science this is a foolish proposition.. Part of the reason I spoke about this in that podcast was because of what I heard in this podcast above earlier this week. The two gentlemen in the podcast are good people and have their clients best interests at heart. But when I listened to the podcast I had some serious disagreements with what I heard and I decided I had to use it to show people how what is not on the menu for discussion might be critical to the issues discussed. This is a big deal for a mitochondriac in training. It also ties into the proton education on this site this month.
I truly hate how social media is used now because it feeds the pack animal mentality. Today, on social media, when someone is critical of someone else for any reason it creates a group think mentality where everyone has to pick and choose sides. I actually had to leave a group on a social media site because of how “a little knowledge” in one area was expanded incorrectly, and was used to create a series of half truths and false narratives that lead to a war of words between two sides in a virtual room. In science you have to be able to disagree, state your case, and post your cites and data on why you think as you do. In this way, you can leave the audience to discover both sides of the argument and then dig into both sides to discover who is on the right track. The audience can decide who makes the most sense. In this way, the data become discipline for the mitochondriac.
In the past patreon blog, I told you to listen to a podcast about red light. There was some issues in that podcast that did not jive with the reality of observations we’ve made in solar science and with some of the laws of physics that are no longer disputed. That podcast was superficial in its wisdom, and it was more like an informercial for a red light system from a manufacturer. I never made a big deal about it because if people use the correct red light good things can happen. Then it dawned on me listening to this podcast that maybe letting people off the hook without discussing the half turths is not wise. Why do I say this?
I want to share another podcast with you that quite frankly dissappointed me. So disappointed that I won’t release my comments on this topic in public, but I want my members and patrons to learn a lesson about how a little information can grow into a half truth and go awry when you don’t have the details in place for proper context using this in a mitochondrial disease.
DETAILS REALLY MATTER in quantum biology. At the 13:30min window we hear that a hiberanting bear “does not get sunlight”. This is actually false. The 42% IR A light is stored in the ground and radiated to the bear’s red light chromophores as he sleeps. I’ll post a picture to show you how this happens below.
Hibernatiing animals make earthen dens. Those dens are connected to Earth and that Earth is penetrated deeply by red light (as pic shows above) from the sun and that light energy is radiated to the animal direct. Hibernating animals do not wear clothing during their sleep as humans choose to do. Plants also get red light chronically all night in the same way when the sun is set. This is why rocks are hot at night in the dessert. This slide above was used in my Vermont 2017 talk on Youtube.
Ketosis actually requires a chronic source of SOLAR red light in some way, because ketosis in nature and generates massive amounts of protons from fat stores and from water in the intracellular space (mito) and the extracellular space (water). The ‘interviewee’ and ‘interviewer’ do not seem to realize this, nor how incredibly important this is. As you hear later in the podcast somebody says, “details are not that important“. He says people get lost in the details. I disagree. If we had details we would have never got saddled with the Standard American diet or statins, but we did get stuck with them because nobody bothered to look into the details. Ketosis is not a fuel source from diet as most seem to believe. This was parotted in the podcast. It is a false narrative they repeated. Ketosis should result from a fasting state, when an animals environment force it to live off its proton stores fromits fat mass, while connected to the Earth. Moreover, the key part of the solar spectrum: 42% of the IR-A light. Ketosis optimized REQUIRES the process of grounding brought up in these mammals when this occurs. They also forget modern humans do neither during their applications of ketosis in the modern world. they are sold an idea of ketosis done by food……..not by living off their fat mass while being chronically connected to Earth and the sun as nature requires. Man’s modern version and choices not wise for a ketotic metabolism. This is why I am no fan of exogenous ketones. I was also disheartened not to hear why ketosis is really important from a bio-physical basis. These guys both know why it is critical, but no mention of it for the listener who likely is clueless about it. They may have glanced over it during their one on one discussion, because they assumed each other knew it, but they are not talking to each other for their benefit. They did the podcast FOR OTHERS LISTENING TO IT. Those ears may not make the same assumptions they did.
Ketosis has a specific biologic purpose for a mitochondriac: it recycles protons in the sugar backbones of DNA/RNA to keep them quiescient and less reactive to light radiations in certain seasons. Ketosis is not optimal in all seasons with a varying light environment.
Electromagnetic radiation (light) is the primary cause of DNA mutation in all life forms because of what it does to protons at certain locations in the carbon backbone of glucose and ribose. What happens to protons in certain carbons in 5 and 6 carbon sugars is the basis of epigenetic in evolution. Epigenetics was called “condition of existence” by Darwin. Darwin said, this was the most important part of his theory, but today all we here about is the nonsense of natural selections. It turns out that the interaction of protons and light at specific locations in these sugars are the basis of natural selection. Theory of Evolution, without this consideration, is missing a key factor, which remains underrepresented. How light sculpts life is still in the darkness to most.
Since the dawn of time, life has been changing in form and function using the power of the sun. The proton recycling in a cell is seminal in this change program. While other factors contribute to these changes, electromagnetic radiation from natural and (via man’s influence) unnatural sources has a much greater impact on DNA/RNA. RNA in the exosome is the real actor in these changes. Natural sources, such as our sun, planets, and other celestial bodies create these vibrational forces at the heart of natural evolutionary processes. Seasonal, regional, and cyclical variations in the force carrier photon is what has been affecting the precession and pulse frequency on this force changes nucleotide configuration and thus DNA/RNA arrangements.
At the 14:00 minute we hear another fallacy. The brain needs glucose as the primary fuel source. This is simply not true. Lactate is the primary fuel source of the cells in the CNS. This is well known in neuroscience and well published. The speaker also intimates that ketosis is the second choice fuel for the brain. I believe he believes this and this is why he said it, but there is a massive amount of data that says this is not true. I think that should have been disclosed and talked about. A brain with low heteroplasmy rates does well on a glucose loaded diet. But a brain with moderate to high heteroplasmy, performs poorly on it. This nuance was not even mentioned in this podcast. The listener is left to believe that maybe this was one of the detials the good doctor thought to be unimportant?
The second cytochrome in mammalian mitochondria produces LESS ROS so this lowers mt DNA heteroplasmy. From Nick Lane’s books on mitochondrial biology (experiments) we know that complex one creates massive ROS and since mt DNA is adjacent to this complex most often and circular mtDNA has no repair mechanisms given to it by evolution, therefore, there is no way anyone should believe that complex two input is better. Clearly, this was also not believed or not known by the speaker. The listener is left in the lurch. Someone who has read Lane’s papers and books would know this. Most of the people listening to the podcast don’t even know who Nick Lane is, much less what his data says. This is really bad logic based upon what we know from both Dr’s Wallace and Lane work in this field. At the 16 minute window we hear something else that is a bit odd for someone who says they understand red light well. (credit: he says he is not a UV expert)
Chlorophyll fluorescence is light re-emitted by chlorophyll molecules during return from excited to non-excited states and used as indicator of photosynthetic energy conversion in higher plants, algae and bacteria. Excited chlorophyll dissipates the absorbed light energy by driving photosynthesis (photochemical energy conversion), as heat in non-photochemical quenching or by emission as fluorescence radiation. As these processes are complementary processes analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence is an important tool in plant research with a wide spectra of applications.
In experiment (diethyl ether fixation), chlorophyll a has approximate absorbance maxima of 430 nm (blue) and 662 nm (red), while chlorophyll b has approximate maxima of 453 nm (blue) and 642 nm (red). The absorption peaks of chlorophyll a are at 665 nm (red) and 465 nm (blue). Chlorophyll a fluoresces at 673 nm (maximum) and 726 nm. Based upon the above numbers you can see plants don’t really like a ton of UV to grow. Chlorophyll A and B in chloroplasts are optimized for different light because of the light and water environment of the plant. Chlorophyll A is optimized for blue green and red photons, but not UV. The reason is obvious. UV is so highly powered it dehydrates leaves and lowers photosynthetic yield in plants. This is why photosyntheis has 3 separate mechanisms in nature to control stomatal conductance, transpiration, and leaf angulation to incident light. Water in plants, is first structured by red light to give charge separation to create coherent domains (redox pile of electrons). The hexagonal structure of the coherent domains are where 270nm UV light helps plants by enlarging the EZ in their photo-systems. Photosynthesis chloroplasts consumes water, while mitochondria makes water. These processes reverse one another, they do not mimic one anaother.
This is why this point is critical and it seems missed in this podcast when you carefully listen to the banter. Plants have 3 forms of photosynthesis. CAM, C3, and C4. All are different and most foods are C3 plants but it turns out animals eat a lot of C4 plants like grass. The difference in the photosynthesis pathways has massive implications for proton recycling in the animals who eat other animals. This is not even mentioned in the podcast. I was disheartened to hear a former clincian member of my site make these errors of omission. Red light sets up free motility of protons to go to specific places in the carbon backbone of TCA and PPP intermediates in our metabolic pathways to keep energy inside of the living system in a circular thermodynamic loop. The podcast was opened with this concept. This lowers entropy in the system and we do not have to dump back to the environment. At 23 minute mark we hear that we should not get bogged down in the details of UV light. No mitochondriac should believe this, EVER. UV light is critical to mitochondrial physiology. At 24.50 we hear incorrect depth penetration mentioned by the interviewee. He is supposed to be a red light expert and uses it on his own patients. I cannot over emphasize this. If you are going to put yourself out there as the “red light doc of Oz” then please familiarize yourelf with the published data on the depth of penetration of specific red frequencies in sunlight. I do believe Josh is way ahead of most clinicians in Oz. Dr. Tina Kuru data and research shows IR A and B can penetrate 10-30 cm and this should be obvious when one considers the body sizes and plans of mammals are varied. All mammals have their mitochondria buried deep inside their tissues. Sunlight penetrates to those mitochondria. They mutilate the cold idea at the 29 minute mark. Not one mention about Cold Thermogenesis increases the electric charge on membranes to improve protons recycling and motion in a water based cell. Not bueno. At the 31:45 min, we hear, “we don’t waste heat unless heteroplasmy rate is elevated.” The point was also not well laid out. Heat is absorbed by the massive heat capacity of water, only if mitochondria can create it. We never heard that part. Water made in mitochondria is able to charge separate with IR and UV light. IR light is heat from mitochondria and UV light is liberated from cells naturally. These are the things that make a perfect circular thermodynamics amongst metabolic pathways. Again, Josh may not think this matters to him or his patients, but you the listener, need to know what is on nature’s menu and decide for yoruself who is right.
The discussion on the dopamine networking was excellent, but I think people do want to know why it happens. This is a detail that matters because it explains a lot of hemab behavior. I was hoping they would talk about HRV and it being a light fingerprint and its linkage to glucose metabolism. i was left ot believe this was another detail that did not matter to them? I agree totally about the reliance on labs by the public. That is from the functional medicine guru’s. I did enjoy the interviewer’s style. I really liked it, but he should have pressed on the issues I mentioned here. My bet he was giving his guest etiquette. In science, good questioning demolishes the formality of etiquette for the sake of truth. The questions in the second half of the podcast were excellent. The discussion from 51 min on ward is superb. These two should do another podcast focused on movement and tensegrity functional patterns and their relation to energy flow. They need to talk about how cell volumes, heteroplasmy, charge, and disease states are linked from an osteopathic perspective. I might give you how they are linked to mitochondriac perspective soon enough. Red light and proton details are huge when it comes to understand how mitochondria work with natural foods and man made ones. More on that to come soon!
