Yeah, yeah.

And what happens is Our world has gotten very cationic.

I mean, yeah, that's a good state.

We're all catatonic.

So the cations, the smoke and alcohol, coffee, toxins are all positively charged.

And the body then, we're taking it in, the body's negative ions, they have to neutralize.

And if the cations win, in the bloodstream, the red blood cells start clumping, they can't move.

I want to be thriving.

Payday Peanut Caramel Bar.

It's like I said, Connie, in New York.

Actually, what happened is I went to New York at the request of a doctor who was doing an alternative treatment for AIDS.

In the early 90s, AIDS was huge.

And everybody was being told, wait for the vaccine or use AZT.

Fauci was pushing AZT and wouldn't let it be known that people could be using alternatives.

And then... my mentor died and I had to continue the work and I was so stressed out.

Would you recommend magnesium for youth and younger populations as well? Is this universal?

What if how fast you're aging isn't fixed at all and you could actually measure it and turn it back with a handful of nutrients your doctor never told you about?

Yeah, it is quite amazing.

I've been wanting to do what I just did here in Maui over a six month trial.

Been wanting to do that for like 30 years because I've always said if people can get the right nutrient building blocks to make themselves healthy.

Isn't that going to help their tissues and organs and everything else? And it's true.

We totally got distracted with the drug model of disease.

When I was in med school, I thought... after maybe 10 years, everybody would be a medical doctor and a naturopath.

And I'm like, why isn't it in the 30s? We got to try this younger.

And then after that, what got you interested in things like minerals?

It did happen before I went to med school.

My then boyfriend and now husband of 57 years, we traveled around America, ended up in L.A. in this hospital.

70s when it was all about dope, but I was all about nutrition.

And I attended a lot of the nutrition conferences with people like Adele Davis, Pavel Arola, Jonathan Wright.

It was quite amazing.

So it opened my mind to health and lifestyle.

I don't want to feel sleepy.

And I want to ask about silver because I've always wondered, was it a scam? Is it something we need? Yes.

The way I start talking about silver is that it's still used in allopathic medicine for severe body burns.

They will take gauze, dip it in a silver solution and drape it all over these poor people because it's the safest antibiotic to use to prevent these burns.

the horrible infections you can get with total body burns.

Silver is amazing.

Now, we've heard of colloidal silver for years.

Colloidal silver is a silver compound.

So why potassium separate?

So that's why people-

[laughs] That's why people are, are falling into dementia and Alzheimer's, because we have to have the energy in our brain to keep us going, and we don't know anything about the, the complexity of it.

Is our brain communicating with the plasma? Is our brain keeping the world going? I mean, you hear about monks in their c- in their caves meditating for the world.

They're probably doing something very important.

It, 20% of our blood glucose goes to brain energy.

And with this whole mitochondria thing, as I started with, you have the glucose in the brain.

In the mitochondria, there's something called a glycolysis cycle.

What does magnesium have to do with our fight or flight response, or how does it help, um, interact to break the cycle?

DEXA.

Yeah, the DEXA test.

And they're comparing our bones to a 25, 30-year-old bone for one thing, but they're saying that, "Okay, if you're a certain percentage, you have to take the Fosamax or one of these terrible drugs that kills your osteoclast." There's osteoblasts that make new bone.

Great.

And then the osteoclast, they arrange the bone properly.

They come along and do the fine detail and break down bone that isn't needed and, you know, allow new bone to come.

So, you know, these bright pharma doctors decided, "Oh, well, we'll just kill the osteoclast so that there won't be [chuckles] any bone breakdown." So what happened to the bone? It got all higgledy-squiggledy, and it got brittle, and it actually got worse for women.

but it's probably not emphasized enough.

I think that's important.

Right, right.

Because some of the studies say 70% of the population is not even getting the RDA, recommended daily allowance.

So we're not meeting even the basic needs.

And 100 years ago, we were getting 500 milligrams of magnesium in an ordinary diet.

Now we're lucky to get 200 milligrams.

So we've got a situation where it's not in the soil anymore.

Oh, wow.

They said, make the margarine look just like butter.

Yeah.

So the book I was writing back then after, you know, the medical board came after me, I just said, oh, forget it.

And just this past year, my team said, hey, you know, let's revive your book.

So it became a trilogy, including a sugar-free kitchen book, actually.

So my big Big takeaway with the vitamin C and sugar information is that sugar and vitamin C travel on the transport protein called insulin.

So if you've got a lot of sugar in your system, 10 teaspoons from a Coke, whereas at any one time in your bloodstream, there's only one teaspoon of sugar.

Mm-hmm.
