wattswattsTodd Watts, DC and Jay Davidson, DC presented "The Unbreakable Core of Foundational Medicine" and shared:

  • 6 trillion US dollars printed in 2020
  • Dollar in 2019 is now worth 69 cents
  • Value of money drops by 7% per year
  • 7% inflation per year on average since 1913
  • Cancer rate in 1913 over a lifetime was 3%; today 40%
  • The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s was complete fraud
  • Was cited in 2300 articles
  • Takes 17 years for research to be translated into clinical practice
  • Muscle testers figure things out much faster than anyone else
  • Chemical toxicity is the primary core of what pulls people’s health down
  • Chemical toxicity creates nutrient deficiencies, causes mitochondrial dysfunction, causes parasites to reproduce and become active, clogs drainage pathways, causes “infection”/pleomorphism
  • Radium is found in the drinking water of ½ of Americans; alpha radiation does not absorb through the skin but is a concern with drinking water
  • Radium is an issue with osteoporosis; “bone seeker”
  • Radium is a known carcinogen
  • Lead is in the bones because of radium
  • The lead is an attempt to absorb the radium that is already in the bone
  • If you live in an area where your home has to be tested for radon, radium is in the water supply
  • Radioactive elements in the water drop hydration levels
  • RO water is better than nothing but it is not good enough in today’s age
  • Chemical toxicity creates nutrient deficiencies
  • Toxins impact binding of the nutrients
  • It is not a supplement deficiency but a toxicity issue
  • Nutrient deficiencies in soil track with increase in herbicides and pesticides
  • Chemicals preferentially impact the mitochondrial and electron transport chain complexes
  • Optimizing the mitochondria is about more than taking mitochondrial support supplements
  • Mitochondrial function is core to hormone production
  • Mitochondria produce deuterium depleted water in the cell
  • Mitochondria-Derived Peptides are signaling molecules; Humanin, MOTS-c, and six SHLPs
  • Mitochondria are the main intracellular stores of magnesium
  • Toxicity impacts the immune systems ability to address infections
  • Parasites are sponges for toxins; beneficial until it’s not; need to detox while parasite cleansing
  • Parasite cleansing can increase toxicity if not done correctly
  • Parasites will continue to be an issue until the toxicity is addressed
  • Assume that you have parasites
  • PARA 3 should always be used with PARA 5 (Drainage Activator)
  • PARA 4 should be used with PARA 2
  • Detox is grabbing and pulling out
  • Drainage is the body’s normal pathways
  • Drainage: colon, liver/bile, lymph, brain, kidneys, skin
  • Drainage funnel order: colon, liver/bile ducts, lymph, organs and tissues, cells
  • If colon and liver are not open, toxicity is dumped back into the blood
  • Rate limiting step of liver is Phase 3; TUDCA to support the bile flow
  • GERD is from a lack of bile movement
  • Low stomach acid means low bile flow
  • You may not acquire a bug from outside of yourself; they can pleomorph and be triggered and change form into “pathogens”
  • Roadmap to Health is powered by the mitochondria
  • Fulvic and humic acid to detoxify
  • No toxicity for fulvic or humic acid; even though they may contain small amounts of heavy metals

wattsJaban Moore, DC presented "The Great Misdiagnosis: The Untold Truth About the Mental Health Crisis" and shared:

  • Mental health is everyone
  • When sensitive to light, have some fight or flight in play
  • Acting like you feel well doesn’t mean you are
  • You can look good and still not feel good
  • Histamine and sensitivities have gone up in the spike protein era
  • Neuropsychiatric syndromes include behavioral, emotional, and psychological changes resulting from brain dysfunction
  • Alzheimer’s, ASD, dementia, Parkinson’s, PANS/PANDAS, TBI
  • Symptoms can precede or accompany cognitive decline, impacting daily life and increasing caregiver burden
  • 15% of children are diagnosed with a condition today
  • Signs of brain inflammation; explosive anger, sudden OCD/rituals, eating refusal, tics/twitches, random anxiety, full-on regression, meltdowns over nothing, panic over leaving the house
  • PANS/PANDAS does happen in adults
  • Inflammation triggered by immune system for some reason
  • 1 in 200 kids diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS
  • PANS/PANDAS is misdiagnosed as everything else
  • 25% of Tourette’s is PANS/PANDAS
  • Look for toxins, infections, and traumas; may also impact genetics
  • Cell Danger Response is either shutdown or fight back
  • MVX has become a helpful tool; GlycA of 900 may correlate to parasites
  • If you have a healthy, strong immune system, you should not be afraid
  • Chronic or perceived stress will suppress the immune system
  • Environmental toxins in the water supply can impact the immune system
  • Stress impacts inflammatory response and inflammation impacts brain
  • Somatic, limbic, and nervous system work are key
  • Psychological stress depletes the immune system
  • You have to do the physical therapy for your brain or you don’t detox
  • A constricted nervous system is not going to poop
  • Depression is up 66% in children in the past few years
  • Triggering events: infections, trauma, injury, toxins, medications, psychological stress
  • Inflammation is the flag saying “help”
  • Parasites are everyone and they mop up pollution
  • Spike proteins do exist; many people had histamine issues start related to COVID
  • Neuroinflammation can be caused by bacteria; even with PANDAS, 98% of the time he finds mold
  • Kids and brain health is everything
  • Mold is such a major problem. It is in the food supply we give to the cows and chickens and increases our inflammation
  • If it is “red” on a Total Tox, he thinks water-damage; not food
  • Carboxy and PARA 3 sinus rinses may help to address mold in the sinuses
  • Anxiety is “I don’t feel safe”
  • Brain fog is not having enough energy to think
  • Limbic retraining does not solve but it may make it possible to tolerate more to solve mold
  • Often a family history of autoimmunity in kids with PANS/PANDAS
  • Mitochondrial issues, neuroinflammation, detox issues, dysregulation of the gut-brain axis
  • Radon and uranium worsen sleep, sensory, mood regulation; fatigue, cognitive speed, attention; immune flares, behavioral regression
  • Glyphosate wrecks the barrier of the gut
  • What’s in the water where you live? https://www.ewg.org/tapwater
  • What have chemtrails dumped into “spring water”?
  • When the body is no longer poisoned by toxic water, the body can start to detoxify
  • Minerals are absorbed largely from plants and animals you are eating; not from city tap water
  • 17% of the population has mast cell issues
  • 170 million people in the US alone are drinking radioactive water
  • Toxins stimulate inflammation, impact the blood brain barrier, impact the nervous system, impact mitochondria; chronic stimulation leads to more nervous system dysregulation, immune impairment, and impaired organ function
  • “Safety Before Systems”
  • Factors to consider
    • Test and assess
    • Safe environment; air, food, water, hygiene, dental
    • Nervous system

    • Maintain
  • Muscle testing is only as good as the questions you ask
  • Uses OAT, Toxin Zoomer, Heavy Metals Testing, Mycotoxin Testing, Neural Zoomer (optional)
  • Urine metals may be past couple days; provocation could be life; hair could be 60 days
  • You cannot detox from a place of fear; you must address safety first!
  • Pitfalls: moving too fast, skipping the nervous system, too many supplements, taking labs at face value, expecting a linear recovery path

wattsMelissa Grill-Petersen, DC, MS, BCHH spoke on “The Five Foundational Pillars of Longevity: A Clinician's Guide to Extending Healthspan” and shared:

  • 93% of adults in the US have metabolic dysfunction
  • Human system is designed to heal
  • The quality of the inputs matters
  • Aging begins when we lose capacity to keep up with the demands of life
  • Amazing things happen when we can slow down and reverse the pace of aging
  • Am I safe for thriving or in danger and just have to survive?
  • Our inputs become our outputs
  • Genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, disabled macroautophagy
  • For every 10 beats above 60-64, all cause mortality increases by 12%
  • HRV assesses the adaptability of the autonomic nervous system
  • Cannot heal if you cannot modulate the nervous system
  • Fundamental issue is the lost of capacity
  • 5 Pillars of Longevity Living
    • Think Better – epigenetic signaling, stress, inflammatory tone, neuroendocrine
    • Eat Better – methylation, nutrients, mitochondria, proteostasis, microbiome
    • Move Better – mitochondria, nutrient, senescence, inflammation, stem cell signaling
    • Sleep Better – DNA repair, autophagy, hormones, glymphatics, immunity
    • Be Better – autonomic regulation, intercellular communication, inflammaging, resilience
  • Many times have to do less before we do more
  • Most of us have a perception of aging that is negative
  • Perception becomes physiology
  • The body is intelligently designed to heal and to be here until at least 122 years
  • Nutrient dense sirtuin rich foods support repair
  • Senolytic-based foods: quercetin, fisetin rich foods to lower inflammation

wattsDeanna Minich, MS, PhD, CNS, IFMCP spoke on “Eating for the Microbiome: Color, Diversity, and Function in Health and Longevity” and shared:

  • “The whiter the bread, the quicker you’re dead”
  • 4 principles of rainbow eating: color, creativity, diversity, rhythm
  • Everything has a microbiome; even food
  • Organic food has different microorganisms than conventionally grown food
  • Different microbiomes create a system’s web
  • The horizon is an algorithm to help the various microbiomes work together as a system
  • It used to be about the macronutrients; now it is the phytonutrients that are front and center
  • Nutrition dark matter discusses many molecules in food that we don’t even know what they do
  • No longer HPA axis; we learn about new tissues and new connections
  • Everything is endocrine; everything is communicating
  • What about anti-nutrients like lectins, oxalates, phytates, phytoestrogens, tannins? They may have beneficial actions
  • Red – inflammatory/immunity
  • Orange – hormones/endocrine
  • Yellow/Tan/Brown – digestive/elimination
  • Green – cardiovascular
  • Blue/Purple/Black – brain
  • Purple is often the lacking color
  • Gut microbiome correlates to the diversity of the diet
  • Mitochondrial and cellular membrane and gut flow needs good Omega 3 fats
  • Not having categories of food like fruit in our diet can be a disservice
  • Chlorophyll rich foods can bind dietary toxins
  • A more diverse microbiome helps with SCFA production
  • Eating more than 30 plants per week is better than less than 10
  • Herbs and spices count; blends of spices count
  • Bring in less fear and more diversity
  • Small amounts of many things may lead to less reactivity than large amounts of a few things
  • We are run by the sun and by darkness
  • Many have a darkness deficiency
  • Light and dark are circadian nutrients
  • It becomes harder to maintain circadian rhythm as we get older
  • Applications of light may shape the microbiome
  • Chrono-supplementation: Melatonin PM, Vitamin D AM
  • Gut-Aging Axis: microbiome impacts healthspan

lybargerJetta Lybarger, BS, MPH, IHP and a colleague spoke on “Creating Breakthroughs in Complex Clients with Bioresonance Testing” and shared:

  • Functional labs + symptoms + bioresonance
  • Triangulate symptoms/history, labs, and bioresonance
  • Looks like they are using QEST4 with hair and saliva sample
  • Likes to pair PARA 3 with 1-2 drops twice a day of IS-BAB if Babesia is a factor; improves tolerance and maximizes effectiveness

lybargerBen Tapper, DC spoke on “The Soil for Truth is Rich” and shared:

  • Fear is the fire that fuels the furnace of disease
  • Vaccine safety is an oxymoron
  • Does a hog fence keep out mosquitoes?
  • PCR testing was not meant to be diagnostic
  • “Virus” is a toxin or a poison
  • Vitamin K shot can stress the liver; synthetic form
  • Baby gets more stem cells if clamping is delayed; Vitamin K negatively impacts that process
  • We only have the rights and freedoms that we are willing to defend
  • Do not get an IgM response after a vaccination

Day 2 started with an Intro from Jay Davidson, DC and Todd Watts, DC and they shared:

  • Be aware of what is going on in the world but do not be fearful
  • Fear creates “dis-ease”
  • Mentioned a testing device called IMAET; https://www.imaet.com
  • Many top influencers recommended the COVID injection
  • Masks were 3% of marine microplastics in the ocean
  • Masks have chemicals that are inhaled

lybargerDane Johnson, CHN spoke on “How to Rebuild the Gut Integrity for IBD/IBS” and shared:

  • IBD is “IDK” - I don’t know
  • He had Crohn’s and Colitis
  • IBD was 1 million and has risen 300% to 3 million in 25 years
  • Toxins in our air, food, and water negatively impact the microbiome
  • We have created an environment that leads to inflammation and microbiome imbalance
  • People with IBD have a 50% increase in microplastics compared to controls
  • Heavy metals are linked to IBD, gut permeability, and systemic inflammation
  • Pathogens can now grow in the environment we have created
  • Bacteria, viruses, Candida, mold/mycotoxins, parasites
  • Six viruses related to IBD: CMV, EBV, HSV, VZV, Coxsackie, Echo Virus
  • Can find and treat the pathogens and resolve the condition
  • Parasites can be hard to find with testing
  • With IBD, pretty much everyone needs a parasite cleanse at some point
  • If they have been ill for more than 5 years, the biofilm issue is more of a problem
  • If you go after parasites too quickly, you will release a bomb
  • Biofilms hide the root issues in the intestines
  • Can see more pathogens in the labs by doing light biofilm support such as NAC prior to the collection
  • Stop
    • Living in a moldy environment
    • Drinking tap water

lybargerlybargerJackie Tewes, APRN, CNP, MSN and Tad Tewes, MPAS, PA-C spoke on “What Medical Training Missed: Foundational Care Through Perimenopause and Menopause” and shared:

  • 47 million women enter menopause each year
  • 8 billion dollars in lost productivity un the US alone
  • Hormones impact physical, mental, and emotional health
  • Perimenopause is when the ovaries begin to shut down; average 7.5 years; as early as 35
  • Early menopausal transition – shorter cycles, progesterone drop
  • Late menopausal transition – drop of estrogen
  • Start losing bone density before post-menopause
  • Menopause is one year from last cycle
  • Post-menopause can last 4-10 years
  • Testosterone does not get enough attention; women make 2-3 times more testosterone than estrogen
  • Estradiol is the grand finale roller coaster and can be constantly changing
  • Frozen shoulder is not uncommon in women 40-60; due to hormonal changes
  • Hormones are the fuel for organs; almost every organ system has hormone receptors on them
  • SHBG is the main binding protein for testosterone and estrogen; how much is free? If SHBG is high from birth control, free hormone levels will be low
  • Hashimoto’s is a common finding
  • Oral estrogen should not be used
  • Estrogen does not cause breast cancer; has to be an inflammatory triggering event
  • Estrogen is not as good as making an unhealthy cell healthy; better at protection
  • Sees 8-9% increases in bone density using BHRT
  • Synthetic hormones do not ha the same structure as endogenous hormones
  • Oral progesterone is the go to
  • All injectables are synthetic
  • Transdermal are great for some women
  • Low and slow with pellets; last about 4 months
  • Do not use oral estradiol; can impact clotting
  • Testosterone is off-label; no FDA approved options for women
  • Undiagnosed uterine bleeding in a menopausal woman may be cancer until proven otherwise
  • Hormones are not magic; needs to be used with foundational medicine

lybargerKeri Anania, PA-C spoke on “Microbiome Mastery: Practical Solutions for LPS, Biofilms, and Gut Restoration” and shared:

  • The body whispers before it screams
  • LPS are endotoxins from gram negative bacteria
  • Dietary and microbial LPS are absorbed ty the intestines
  • A component of biofilms
  • Causes immunologic and metabolic disruption
  • Detected in the portal venous blood
  • Beta glucuronidase is made by a lot of the microbes in the gut
  • Can be seen in those with high triglycerides
  • Can cause fever, inflammation, low blood pressure, CIRS, MCAS, septic shock, and chronic overactivation of the immune system?
  • Numerous chronic diseases are associated with LPS
  • LPS plays a role in liver disease
  • LPS influences more histamine; increases by 4-15 times
  • Gum disease connection
  • Metabolic endotoxemia is related to cardiovascular disease
  • Biofilms require 500-5000 time the dose of antimicrobials
  • Biofilms form on anything implanted including ear tubes, breast implants
  • Biofilms cause systemic disease everywhere
  • Biofilms involved in chronic sinusitis
  • Biofilms contain heavy metals, oxalates, pesticides, molds
  • May use a titanium homeopathic for those with titanium implants
  • Anytime a patient is stuck, it’s always been mold, Lyme, the mouth, or trauma
  • Probiotics are like the substitute teacher; they come in and then they leave
  • 99+% of her patients start off on Biocidin and it was the missing piece of her practice
  • Combining herbs leads to a powerful synergy
  • LPS immunoglobulins reduced with use of Biocidin
  • Brain neuroinflammation was shown to improve with Biocidin
  • Biocidin does not wipe out the good stuff; they actually improved
  • Has seen improvements in glucose
  • Biocidin is potent and need to consider liver and detoxification support
  • Starts with the liquid
  • Uses Biocidin for a week or two, stop, and then do the stool study; improves yield
  • Olivirex was created by Rachel Fresco for her own EBV reactivation
  • In those with SIBO, pairs Biocidin and Olivirex
  • Everyone needs to be on a binder to mitigate LPS
  • GI InnerCalm for GERD, EOE
  • Pylori patients; consider spouse
  • Dropper for mouth to rear; capsules more for convenience;
  • 2-4 weeks after starting Olivirex, many patients notice improvement of their SIBO
  • Calcium D Glucarate for reducing beta glucuronidase
  • May start with LSF for neuroinflammatory patients such as PANS/PANDAS, Lyme; may start high at 3 pumps three times a day; can create a Herx
  • Biocidin LSF makes a great nasal rinse for MARCoNS and mold; 1 pump in neti pot is a potent amount
  • Some use Biocidin capsules as a vaginal or rectal insertion; rectal for prostatitis

lybargerEllie Anderson, MHS, RND, LD spoke on “Blood Sugar Breakthrough: The Hidden Keys to Metabolism, Mood, and Longevity” and shared:

  • 10 squats throughout the day can support healthy blood sugar levels
  • Blood sugar instability is the reality and rarely the complaint
  • 3 out of 10 people have metabolic dysfunction before it is reflected by blood sugar numbers
  • PCOS now renamed to PMOS to reflect more of a metabolic component
  • Why do the right things stop working? Clean diets, macros, fasting, supplements, exercise; doing it all correctly and still have issue
  • Our body is fighting for us at all costs every day
  • What changed everything for her practice was learning about the nervous system, stress, and trauma
  • Supporting a diabetic with insulin is essentially gaslighting the body
  • Blood sugar dysregulation appears when:
    • Nervous system is under threat
    • Mitochondria are inefficient
    • Inflammation or toxicity is present
  • The body can create sugar via gluconeogenesis even with the perfect diet
  • Was against muscle testing and today it is what her practice runs on
  • Blood sugar is regulated or dysregulated by: nervous system tome, mitochondrial function, inflammatory load, drainage and detox capacity
  • The sun shines brighter when you poop everyday. You will not stop to poop if you are running from a bear.
  • Chronic stress is chronic glucose elevation
  • Cortisol increases glucose output from the liver
  • Stress reduces insulin sensitivity
  • Likes to see insulin and HOMA-IR
  • Insulin is telling you how long you had to study to get an A on the test
  • Good diets fail under stress
  • Afternoon energy crash is NOT normal
  • Waking between 2-4am may be the liver mobilizing sugar due to stress
  • You cannot stabilize blood sugar in fight or flight
  • All disease begins in the gut
  • Baking soda burp – ¼ tsp in 4 ounces cold water; how long to burp? Probably too long.
  • Glucose becomes dangerous when the mitochondria can’t use it
  • When mitochondria are impaired, ATP drops, glucose remains in circulation, fat storage increases, oxidative stress rises
  • Mitochondria damaged by inflammation, nutrient deficiency, toxic burden, circadian disruption, hypoxia
  • Throws so many minerals at these people
  • If you are not sleeping at least 7.5 hours, you are taking a glorified nap
  • Inflammation blocks insulin signaling on purpose
  • Endotoxins increase insulin resistance
  • Immune activation alters glucose uptake
  • Detox determine metabolism; liver congestion, lymph stagnation, poor bile flow, intracellular toxicity
  • A toxic cell will not accept fuel; cannot absorb nutrition
  • Need to consider fasting to support autophagy
  • Higher dose GLPs are overriding the body’s protective mechanisms
  • Regulate nervous system -> restore mitochondria -> reduce inflammation -> open drainage -> refine diet
  • Your body is a machine; fuel it as such
  • Fuel yourself for the way you want to feel
  • Your worth is not in how much you accomplish. Rest is productive for our healing.
  • 5 minutes two times a day do nothing
  • Intrusive thoughts will knock in a nervous system that is dysregulated
  • Chronic glucose instability drives glycation, mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, inflammaging
  • Glucose is sugar without permission; excess glucose binds to proteins or fats; creates AGEs; targets collagen, elastin, enzymes, mitochondrial proteins, DNA and cell membranes
  • AGEs are cellular rust; stiff tissues, impaired cell signaling, increased oxidative stress, inflammation
  • Eat things you can pick, pluck, or shoot
  • The only foods you should not eat are those that never existed in the first place
  • Laying with legs up the wall tells the body to stop running; flushes excess lactic acid and sugar
  • Out of glycation: lower glucose and improve cellular waste; reduce blood sugar volatility improve mitochondria glucose uptake, decrease oxidative stress, clear glycation byproducts
  • Nature, breathwork, and community are free and effective
  • Longevity is not perfection; it’s flexibility
  • Cannot heal when living too rigidly; take time and let the body heal
  • A younger body is one that recovers efficiently
  • Chicken? Egg? Work on both.
  • Uses CellCore GCO and IFC for glucose and inflammation support
  • The body is not failing. It is responding intelligently to the environment you place it in

lybargerTara Scott, MD spoke on “Hormone Detox: It's Not Always The Hormones you TAKE, but the Hormones you Make” and shared:

  • Could cut a baby out in a C-section in under a minute but had no tools for irregular periods
  • Estrogen is a proliferation hormone; progesterone inhibits proliferation
  • Estradiol can become estrone and vice versa
  • Estrone is like a monthly paycheck; made even without adrenals
  • 95% of estradiol comes from ovulation
  • Estriol is an end metabolite; not measured in the blood; only relevant in pregnancy
  • Alpha-estradiol accelerates; beta-estradiol brakes
  • Problem today is all the other sources of estrogens
  • Chemicals, preservatives, additives, BPA
  • Are hormone imbalances due to our environment or to our body?
  • Causes of detox imbalances
    • Overwhelming load
    • Impaired Phase 1, 2, or 3
  • Detox: sweat, urinate, poop, sleep (lymph flow)
  • Many factors involved in healthy estrogen metabolism
  • Involves phytonutrients, supplements, vitamins, diet, intestines, minerals, insulin resistance
  • Phase 1 is CYP450; three pathways CYP 1A1, CYP 3A4, CYP 1B1
  • If you can’t drink coffee in evening, you are a slow metabolizer
  • SNPs usually upregulate Phase 1
  • Estrone and Estradiol detox via 2, 4, or 16 hydroxy. 4 is more carcinogenic.
  • DIM increases percentage of 2-hydroxy. Only works if 2-hydroxy is low.
  • Sulforaphane acts on all 3 phases of estrogen detoxification
  • With lower 2-hydroxy, DIM, crucifers, flaxseed, caffeine, or exercise; GlyNACtive
  • NAC for endometrial pain
  • Phase 1 is sweeping; phase 2 is mopping
  • Phase 2 Methylation: COMT and 17 B HSD to estriol
  • COMT involved in neurotransmitter synthesis
  • Glutathione is another pathway to detoxify estrogens
  • Phase 2: Methyl B Complex, CT Minerals, TriMag Complex, SAMe
  • Val/Val = Faster; Val/Met = good for NT but not estrogen; Met/Met = slow COMT, more dopamine, ADD, hyperactive
  • Phase 3: The Gut and Beta Glucuronidase; like the Roomba trying to mop up any crumbs; can deconjugate estrone and recirculate
  • Dysbiosis leads to diseases among women
  • Phase 3: Bowel Mover, CT Biotic
  • Calcium D Glucarate can help bind beta glucuronidase
  • Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals
  • Average woman applies 515 synthetic chemicals in a single day
  • BPA mimics estradiol; don’t use plastics
  • Cortisol curve with salivary hormones is not the same as urinary hormones
  • 8-OhdG is a good measure of oxidative stress
  • Gluten free diets eat more corn and may have more exposure to atrazine and other toxins

lybargerBen Greenfield, MS, CSCS, C-PT, CISSN, NSCA spoke on “The Detox Frontier: Lessons from The Edges of Biohacking to Everyday Vitality’ and shared:

  • Energy and Drainage – CT Minerals, KL Support, BC-ATP, Biotoxin Binder
    • Exercise: he does aerobic exercise, treading water, swimming, pool workouts, rebounding, sharking
    • Any form of movement is going to be good for detoxification; aerobic is optimal for creating new lymph vessels
    • Photobiomodulation: 620-850nm; mats, belts, panel, sauna, bed; hydration and optimal mineral status improve benefits; certain pigments act as receptors such as methylene blue, spirulina, chlorella; fulvic, Shilajit; 60-90 minutes before PBM therapy; accelerate splitting of water molecules
    • Sleep: cold better for lymphatic clearance, bed angle, right side sleeping, minimize alcohol, caffeine, exercise later in day; Myobuddy for lymphatic drainage/facial massage
    • Breath: Cisterna chyli, diaphragm (belly, chest, head), Othership, The Breath Source, MUSE
    • Uses coffee enemas; glutathione and a binder before; then a sauna
    • Compression: gradated compression, wave-like pulsing, add heat if possible, Flowpresso, Normatec
    • Pressure on the lymphatic system may impede drainage
    • Biohacking: PEMF, oxygen, red light
    • Peptides: Epitalon, SS31, MOTS-c
  • Gut and Immune Support – Biotoxin Binder, PARA 1, PARA 2, BC-ATP
    • Heat: dry vs. infrared, timing post-binder; sauna 60-90 minutes after binder; Hydratel
    • Dry is inferior to infrared for detox; dry is higher temperature and higher stress state
    • If steam sauna is using tap water, you are breathing in toxins
    • As temperature goes up, you get less photon absorption through the skin
    • Parasympathize: Roxiva, VIZR, Braintap, Shiftwave, Apollo, Sensate; vagal stimulation (HOOLEST, TruVaga, Vielight), MUSE
  • Whole Body Support
    • CT Minerals, PARA 1, TUDCA, ViRadChem, PARA 3; deeper cleansing, drainage, liver, bile
    • Detox: Upregulate ROS production to react with membranes, HOCATT, blood ozone, rectal insufflation
    • Used to be super concerned about the hole in the ozone layer and now we put ozone in our holes
    • Ozone is a hormetic stressor
    • Oxygen: HBOT, EWOT, IHHT
    • 5 ATA can upregulate detoxification; soft shell does the trick
    • ROS: single oxygen, NavnoVi, Therair; signals the body to upregulate antioxidant pathways
    • H2: selective antioxidants, hydroxyl and peroxynitrite; mitochondrial biogenesis, tablet, bottle, inhalation, transdermal; balances out oxidative stress of other interventions; he uses H2Inhale
  • Systemic Detox: HM-ET, LymphActiv, PARA 4, BC-ATP; systemic detox, drainage
    • Oil Change: TPE, Plasma Replacement, Blood Filtration
    • Microplastics are larger than what would generally come out in sweat

Jay Davidson, DC opened Day 3 and shared:

  • SIDS = vaccine; SADS = COVID vaccine
  • Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls were the result of parents who created them from their daughter dying after a vaccine around 1915
  • The claim that vaccines do not cause autism is not an evidence based claim
  • McCullough Foundation Report showed that the largest risk factor for autism is vaccines
  • One study showed 57% of vaccinated had chronic illness; only 17% in unvaccinated
  • Some have shown that microclots form from vaccination
  • 100% of Long COVID patients had microclots in one study
  • CellCore CardioImmune was created to support the current times and support blood flow
  • 6G is coming online; PARA 3 and Drainage Activator may be supportive
  • Knock down the big dominos in the body and the static noise will calm down

lybargerSinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC spoke on “Supporting the Highly Reactive Patient: An In-Depth Approach to Mold and Parasite Recovery” and shared:

  • She survived Lyme, ME/CFS, and many other conditions
  • Was down to 3 foods; attempted suicide multiple times
  • Today, she is symptom free
  • Media discussions around celebrities with Lyme just in time for the new Lyme vaccine
  • Do you actually think the body makes mistakes? The body is having a completely logical response to the stressors it is put under
  • The goal is to reactivate the body’s native healing strategies
  • You have a right to feel at home in your own body
  • We can do better than a “peptide stack”
  • Order of operations matter
  • Food matters
  • Environmental evaluation matters
  • Drainage matters
  • Treatment must honor the body’s own capacity
  • Highly sensitive patients are not getting served in the functional medicine paradigm
  • Poor tolerance to detox or antimicrobials and feeling stuck despite following protocols
  • Functional medicine can look like a lot of propping up
  • Every mold species has different behaviors and different mycotoxins which has different toxicities and behaviors
  • Ingestion is a major source of mold that is not discussed enough
  • Food borne molds are not an insignificant issue
  • There is a good reason for the mast cells to be going off and the nervous system to be annoyed by what is happening in the body
  • Exponential increase in brain fog leading to loss of access to intuition and IQ / critical thinking
  • Signs via sinuses to inhaled toxins: frequent sinus infections, post-nasal drip, worse with humid weather, bad breath or metallic taste, chronic cough or throat clearing, persistent congestion, brain fog, fatigue, feel worse after showers or in certain buildings, loss of smell, antibiotics stop healing
  • 4 pairs of sinuses; need to be an expert at sinus drainage
  • Ozonated glycerin may have a role in supporting the sinuses
  • Need to disrupt biofilms and bind mycotoxins and pollutants in the sinuses
  • Carboxy with a Navage can be used to bind toxins in the sinuses
  • Master the fundamentals before using peptides as a shortcut to the deeper profound work
  • Mycotoxins disrupt barrier integrity
  • Endothelial damage occurs
  • Reactive oxygen species and inflammation
  • Toxicity in tissue perpetuates chronic inflammation
  • You have been poisoned. Everything that has happened to you makes sense. And it’s not your fault
  • Mycotoxins can be absorbed through the skin
  • Mold upregulates biofilm production
  • When there is mold, there is biofilm and parasites
  • Biofilms are holding on to mycotoxins, environmental toxins, heavy metals, parasites
  • Need drainage in place when you use antiparasitics
  • How do you invite the body to excrete and resolve what it would like to at the present time?
  • PARA 1 is her favorite biofilm breaker of all time
  • Can start with 1 cap of PARA 1 a week with dinner for more sensitive patients
  • Dental plaque is a bacterial biofilm
  • Over 300 known species of parasites that can infect humans
  • When mold, there are parasites
  • Biofilms and parasites adhere to and disrupt barrier integrity
  • Parasites come from both produce and meat
  • Parasites are outside of the gut as well as in the gut
  • Rope worm hypothesis is outdated; based on Maria Crisler’s work, rope worm does not look the same as a normal parasite; looks more like a sidewinder snake; needs more research; PARA 1; rope worm skin looks like scales
  • Exposed daily to mycotoxins, microbes and parasites from air, food, water, supplements, medications, personal care products, cleaning products, clothing, inspect and pet vectors
  • The symptoms are the language of the body
  • Nervous system support -> environmental mitigation -> mitochondrial support -> drainage support -> root cause work/detox/binders -> pathogens/antifungals/antiparasitics > Detox and Restorative Therapies - > Food Filters
  • Should be working nervous system tools all day long
  • Must be in parasympathetic dominant state to detox and drain
  • You cannot flush a clogged toilet; you will get a lot of blowback
  • Assess for mold and EMFs before jumping into Lyme
  • Prioritize mold before heavy metals

lybargerJosh Kreifels, RD spoke on “Toxins in Foods - Why American Food is More Toxic than Other Developed Countries” and shared:

  • You can’t live without air, water, and food
  • Food does not just fuel the body; if often quietly burdens it
  • Exposures disrupt metabolism, hormones, and gut integrity before labs are abnormal
  • 12th most obese nation in the world
  • Average American adult consumes 4000 calories a day
  • Over-caloried and malnourished; dead calories leading to inflammation, obesity, and chronic disease
  • Maintaining health is not the same thing as optimizing health
  • Conventional produce is higher in pesticides than organic
  • Has not seen improvements in fully plant-based clients like he has in animal-based clients
  • Calorie focus does not move the needle
  • Endocrine disasters in both males and females
  • 95% of his women clients were significantly undereating; their were under-fueled
  • Food in America is truly no longer medicine
  • Food is driven by profits to corporations at the expense of the people
  • Add foods in rather than taking foods away
  • You then crave the bad foods less
  • Pork is a dirty animal full of parasites; US pork is illegal in Europe
  • Foods banned in Europe: chlorine washed chicken, meta grown with hormones, chewing gum and candies with titanium dioxide and possible carcinogens, pastries with potassium bromine, azodicarbonamide, possible carcinogens
  • Restriction labels required in Europe for artificial colors
  • 85 pesticides are approved for agricultural use in US; illegal in EU, Brazil, and China
  • 94% of soybeans, 92% of corn, 96% of cotton are GMO
  • If you are dealing with mold and are eating corn and high grains, these are contaminated
  • Inflammatory foods create microcuts in the gut lining
  • Mitochondria damaged by inflammation, malnutrition, toxic burden, physical inactivity, obesity, mold
  • Support mitochondria: decrease inflammation, oxygen delivery, nutrient optimization, strength train for muscle mass, lower toxic burden, sauna, infrared, contrast therapy, binders
  • Organic when possible, adequate protein (1 gram protein per pound ideal body weight), minimize ultra processed foods, focus on nutrient density
  • Foundational detox is getting food dialed in

lybargerStephanie Rimka, DC, BCN spoke on “Mitochondria at the Core: Mapping Molecules, Modalities, and Meaningful Protocols” and shared:

  • Mitochondria communicate to each other; send signals; ask for help
  • Mitochondria are communities; they require each other in relationship to heal, to function, and to prosper. They do not heal in isolating, and neither do the humans who carry them.
  • When the nervous system breaks, we go into trauma
  • It is the mitochondria that break in the nervous system
  • How hearty you are to withstand stress if based on the structure, function, and voltage of your mitochondria
  • You cannot be healthy in a rigid, tight system; healing requires flexibility.
  • Trauma is a physiological process that requires refueling the system
  • It may not be that ATP is deficient but that there is a lack of control and coordination
  • How alive do you feel on a 1-10 scale?
  • Protocols keep you stuck in a past moment that is not the present; stops you from thinking and being in relation to what is needed right now
  • I don’t care who you are; I care why you are
  • Three Levels of Healing: Structure, Function/Quality Control, Voltage
  • Voltage is the charge, aliveness, how much is in the battery
  • Structure dictates function; then you deal with voltage
  • A molecule can be correct but the placement incorrect
  • Everything is impacted by the field
  • Nervous system state determines the readiness of a patient to accept anything that a practitioner might do
  • It is a practitioner’s responsibility to stay as regulated, coherent, and as healthy as possible
  • What you give them, how you give it, and in what environment impacts their field
  • The molecule, supplement, or binder effectiveness is impacted by the practitioner and their field; you in relation to yourself and with the patient
  • Mitochondria are environmental sensors, decision-makers, coordinators of resilience
  • Mitochondria are not human; they are not us; community and sharing
  • Most important factor in aging long and well is isolation vs. community
  • Need to force ourselves back to life with people
  • Architecture shapes capacity; cristae extend surface area and determine capacity
  • Most important way to increase cristae in mitochondria is movement; no pill, peptide, or protocol; you have to move
  • Structure lives in the terrain; fascia, membranes, water, lymph
  • Trauma + Rigidity = Structural Failure
  • OCD is inflexibility/stuckness
  • For mitochondrial repair, physical modalities are not adjunct; they are a requirement
  • TRE, chiropractic, fascial release, somatic therapy, lymphatic drainage
  • Touch makes the body permeability to all healing again
  • She finds a virtual practice to be negative on her own physical body; lonely
  • Structural Materials/Build: protein/amino acids, phospholipids, EFA minerals, B vitamins, cholesterol
  • Structural Protectors/Preserve: CoQ10, melatonin, cardiolipin support, antioxidant lipid protection, redox balance, membrane integrity
  • Not everyone needs more ATP; can create more ROS and other dysregulation; ripped the mitochondria apart
  • Giving molecules to create more mitochondria without the foundation just makes sh$$y mitochondria
  • Voltage 150-200mv is the Goldilocks Zone
  • Too little: fatigue, depression, brain fog
  • Too much: anxiety, OCD
  • Light is critical
  • Complex I and II need blue light
  • Electricity is the primary language of the mitochondria; light is second
  • Red light is not magic; blue is not the devil
  • Can the system receive the dose, that way, at that time
  • Can destroy someone’s mitochondrial health with HBOT at the wrong time
  • Only 3 out of 10 like NAD infusions; they were not ready
  • Lack of communication, coordination, and control
  • Structure: chiro, TRE, fascia, hydration, lymph, omega 3, CoQ10, phospholipids, fulvic/humic
  • Function/QC: sauna, mild cold, hydrogen, neurofeedback, PEMF, HydrOxygen, BC-ATP, Liver support/castor oil packs, lymph, binders
  • Voltage: red light, PEMF, HBOT, cold (strong), neurofeedback, methylene blue, CT Minerals, BAM15
  • HydrOxygen is a gentle way to help redox balance
  • Her favorite molecule is SS-31
  • If voltage is too high, you don’t need to raise it; aspirin can trim voltage on someone who is overspinning; Metformin and polyphenols do this
  • Hypopolarized is super depleted, fatuige
  • Hyperpolarized is Type A; crash and burn as the day goes on

lybargerAndrew Kidder, DC spoke on “CellCore: Empowering Practitioners. Expanding Impact” and shared:

  • CellCore has over 11,000 practitioners
  • Has touched over 40,000 consumers
  • New CoreMend GI product just launched
  • Next focus: aging, brain, sleep, mood, women’s health

Jay Davidson, DC spoke on “Stop the Revolution” and shared:

  • Up to 500,000 barrels of DDT-laced waste were dumped in the San Pedro Basin between the LA coast and Catalina Island; half life is about 150 years
  • Spraying happens all the time and now they put biocides/pesticides in the mix
  • Much of the spraying is done by military planes
  • Pesticides killed mosquitos that were inside boxes inside buildings
  • Over 20 chemicals including Naled which kills insects by destroying their central nervous system
  • Data centers emerging are mass surveillance centers
  • Some organic fruits and vegetables may be sprayed with pesticides without disclosure
  • The majors to rule out: cestodes, nematodes, mold/mycotoxins, negative emotion mix, radioactive elements, pesticides/industrial toxins
  • Some tapeworms that impact the liver are only 3-9 mm long
  • Practitioners who get the best results muscle test
  • If people are dealing with mycotoxin poisoning, treatments often won’t work
  • Since estimates 10 to the 31st viruses on earth
  • If things are being sprayed on us, we can’t just take supplement to get well
  • Sinus rinsing is very impactful for health
  • Navage or SinuPulse Elite
  • Check the mouth and sinuses using muscle testing
  • May need to use a vibration massage device to support the sinus rinsing process; Sonic Slider or tuning forks
  • Use distilled water in Water Pik or sinus rinses
  • HydrOxygen, PARA 3, Carboxy, HM-ET, IS formulas can be more advanced sinus rinsing tools; start with distilled water and then salt/saline first
