00:00:00
He was literally 2 days away from dying.
00:00:02
So, this is a story where a 15-year-old
00:00:05
boy was diagnosed with blood cancer, but
00:00:07
he developed a flesh-eating infection in
00:00:09
his lung. He wasn't going to make it.
00:00:11
So, he has one request. He wants to go
00:00:13
outside. And that's exactly what they
00:00:15
do. And this was actually mind-blowing
00:00:17
to me. After the second day, the
00:00:18
infection is probably 60 70% gone. And
00:00:21
it became clear to me that sunlight has
00:00:23
so many important benefits. For
00:00:25
instance, if you're the bed closer to
00:00:27
the window, you get discharged from the
00:00:28
hospital faster.
00:00:30
So, I want you to give me any
00:00:31
information you have as it relates to
00:00:33
light health. For example, do you
00:00:35
recommend these kinds of things?
00:00:38
I see people at the very end of their
00:00:40
lives so I know what prevents them from
00:00:41
getting this ill and how to extend life.
00:00:44
So, let's distill it down into eight
00:00:46
pillars. The first thing, exercise. It
00:00:48
reduces stroke. It reduces depression.
00:00:50
Next, sunlight. Did you know that
00:00:52
infrared light from the sun is able to
00:00:54
penetrate up to about 8 millimeters and
00:00:57
stimulate and upregulate melatonins
00:00:59
which prevent a lot of diseases like
00:01:00
dementia, cardiovascular disease,
00:01:02
diabetes?
00:01:03
What if you live in a cloudy country?
00:01:04
There's some very actionable things that
00:01:06
you can do and we'll talk about that.
00:01:08
Next one, water. For instance, people
00:01:09
who use sauna are more likely to have
00:01:12
less death from cardiovascular disease.
00:01:14
Next, air. There are studies that show
00:01:16
that just going out one day a week can
00:01:18
elevate our immune system and make us
00:01:20
more relaxed. And then there's
00:01:22
but finally trust.
