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