Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Dear Friends, there have been several recent posts about Dr. Jack Kruse, and a very kind, longstanding Avalon follower has sent me this new video which I felt needed its own thread, as does Dr. Kruse himself. Here's her message to me about the video:
~~~Dr Jack Kruse's revelation on Adrian D'Amico website, an Australian podcaster. His revelation includes the British Royals, the Vatican, the Rothschilds, the Bushes, the Military Industrial Complex, the Secret Government and its founder, the Italian and Jewish Mafia, Stalin, Trotsky, Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Eisenhower, JFK, the Dulles, SV40 (Simian Virus 40), cryptology, El Salvador and ... finally, Bitcoin.
I think he has RFK Jr's and Trump's ears.
Please share this with the truth seekers of Project Avalon.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
I had a pair of blue blocking glasses from Amazon which included a blue block test kit to prove they block the blue light. It wasn’t until my new glasses arrived that I discovered how true this statement is: “You get what you pay for. I had the new 100% blue blocking glasses on and couldn’t see the time on the digital clock because the numbers were blue. The same for the blue light that blinks on the vacuum cleaner. I also compared the cheap glasses to the new DayMax Glasses (eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light). There was a distinct difference between them as well.
Merged reposts: (apologies ahead of time for repeats):
I researched the topic of blue light blocking. Dr. Jack Kruse is the go to guy on the effect of blue light, AND a lot more also found @ Dr.Jack Kruse: Reversing Disease.
Dr. Jack Kruse Is a respected neurosurgeon, CEO of the Longevity Center, author and inventor, looking at the quantum level to explain how nature works in biology. He’s a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the Age Management Medicine Group, and a board certified physician by the American Board of Neurological Surgery.
It's because of the blue light blocking research, I spend the first 15-30 minutes soaking in the rising sun rays. Later in the day, I walk to soak up the sun effects even on cloudy days. Note: soaking up the rays doesn’t work if the window or door is closed. Sunrise and sunset are potent times and Dr. Jack Kruse says you only need 1-3 minutes.
A few more examples are I've switched out incandescent bulbs for amber incandescent bulbs. They don’t have the blue-green spectrum. The same for my book light for bedtime reading. There’s a twilight motion red night light in the bathroom which is '100% blue and green light free, has zero flicker, and is low EMF', so it doesn't interfere with the natural sleep patterns.
To quote Dr. Jack Kruse: More light, More life.
My 100% blue light blocking glasses are for when it's time to wind down a few hours before bedtime and I’m still on the computer. (I’m slowly working to change that.) As mentioned elsewhere, I switched to amber incandescent lights because there’s no blue or green light to disrupt the circadian rhythm. My main goal is restful sleep. Amber light helps signal (prepare) the body for deep sleep.
At night, Dr. Jack Kruse uses candles and lights a fire in the fire place because there 100% natural sources.
Dr. Jack Kruse: “…when you understand it from that framework, you begin to see, there's no single most important thing. Actually light from the sun is important as darkness at night time is. And if you make a mistake in either side, then it becomes unbalanced. For want of a better term, the circadian mechanism is no longer yoked, and that allows destruction to come to cells in terms of how cells organize.”
Blockbluelight.com offers glasses that are non-prescription, prescription and readers. BlockBlueLight purchases can be returned for an exchange, store credit, or refund within 30 days of your order delivery. (Maybe not prescription glasses. Please check policy.)
Check out the Blue Light Lens Colour Guide. (scroll down to the bottom of that page)
Less than 150 years ago, humans were exposed to no artificial light. Moonlight, dim candlelight and the orange light of fire was all that illuminated the night. The rising and setting of the sun were clear indicators to our brain when the day's activity began and ended.
When the electric light bulb was invented, it opened up a whole new world. Artificial light allowed education, productivity and industry to grow rapidly. But could our pursuit of the endless day have a dark side?
The truth is our ever-increasing exposure to light from screens, bright office lighting, home lighting and street lights could be the most overlooked health risk of our modern lives. It’s having a devastating impact on our health, and we don’t realize it.

Dr. Jack Kruse on Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity
Dr. Jack Kruse is with me today and he is a respected neurosurgeon and a CEO of the Kruse Longevity Center, which is a health and wellness company dedicated to helping patients avoid the healthcare burdens we typically encounter as we age. He is highly, highly researched and today we have a specific focus on light, EMFs and 5G, and on optimizing sunlight. He talks about why lack of sunlight is actually more dangerous than smoking, and why our kids need more sun, and how to do it safely. We talk about light, and how screens, and junk light affects our body at a mitochondrial level and how we can begin to improve this, and why he considers this actually the top factor for health, above diet, above exercise.
Episode Highlights With Dr. Kruse:- What junk light is and why it can be so harmful
- Why sunlight is so important and not dangerous… and why it is so important for kids

....
- The reasons he recommends avoiding sunscreen and increasing sunlight exposure, especially in kids
- Low Vitamin D levels correlate highly with melanoma and the sun helps increase Vitamin D levels… so why lack of sunlight is more correlated to melanoma than sun exposure and how blue light comes into play
- Why sunglasses decrease melanin production in the skin and why he says to avoid them because you’ll be more sensitive to the sun
- Ways to optimize your light exposure
- Light exposure tips: open windows inside so it isn’t filtered through glass
....

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
I only came across Jack Kruse in the last month or so when his DARPA video emerged. I wondered why he has suddenly emerged. Where was he during COVID. I certainly cant recall anything from him Now he seems to be the meme of the month
That being said I am sitting here with my blue light blocking glasses And each morning for the last week I have walked to a nearby park to watch the sunrise, which is amazingly energising and stays with me through out the day. I now spend at least 6 hours outside each day Dont know how I go when the summer heat hits 40C in a few months

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
He has been patiently waiting for his moment, and it has come... for greatest impact.
I expect there will be more people like that.
In fact I expect an avalanche...

Dr. Jack Kruse’s recommendation for how much sunlight is as much as you possibly can. He states in the video called (IIRC), “Everything You Must Know About 5G and Blue Light” that when he’s at work he tries to get out even if its for 2-3 minutes or he opens the window. You need to see the sun and not behind glass windows because it filters out the light. It blocks all the UV and 40%-50% of the UVA. Just being inside makes you blue light toxic because glass has no effect on the blue light from the sun. He says it’s one of the major problems, i.e. just being inside is what technology has done for us because the computer screens don’t work outside.
As stated elsewhere, I don’t wear glasses when I’m out walking nor use sunscreen. I take in the natural light spectrum. One example from Dr. Jack is wear blue light blocking glasses in stores where there’s florescence lighting.
Dr. Jack Kruse has been around for a while. My guess is people don’t have the time to listen to a 2-4 hour video. I’ll add another below which is from April, 2015.
His banned TED talk was in 2012 where he tells how he lost 150 lbs in a year (IIRC). His son and nephew also followed his protocol and lost weight.
Dr. Kruse's presentation stirred controversy, not only due to its pioneering concepts but also because of the substantial financial interests tied to leptin as a potential anti-obesity drug. He challenged the conventional wisdom depths of metabolic understanding and the transformative power of light on our well-being.

Yes, that's my guess. I've downloaded the Humberman podcasts, but haven't listened as yet. It takes me a while for each vid because I make notes and some of them I create audio snippets for review.
My guess is I've listened to 15-20 so far. I'm reaching my saturation point. The main reason was for the blue light blocking, anti-aging, mitochondrial knowledge and circadian rhythm regulation.

Dr Jack Kruse On Biohacking Your Water, EMFs, Blue Light, DHA, Cold, Sun and Sleep (2:08:00)
April 12, 2015
Dr. Kruse's order of importance:
- Circadian Rhythm
- DHA
- Limiting blue light
- Water (spring water)
- Sleep
- Cold
- Psychological stress
- Exercise
Takeaways from video:- We see and will continue to see a trend of disease explosion - especially of the brain, immune system and heart.
- The paleo and ancestral people - Chris Kresser, Rob Wolf, Matt Lalonde and Jimmy Moore don't focus on the important things.
- We get too much blue light.
- We need more DHA if we get less sun.
.....
- We need more DHA and 'good' water if we're exposed to EMFs.
- Living in a city dehydrates us and therefore we need to drink more good water.
- I discuss my water biohack - distilled water+infrared light+hydrogen+cold....Jack says that putting the water on a copper pot on the magnetico is a good addition.
- Farmed fish is better than no fish. Supplemental DHA is better no DHA, as long as it's from a reliable company and not exposed to light or heat.
- We should try to get much of our DHA from raw seafood, especially oysters.
- DHA increase our DC electric current, which is critical to being awake.
.....
- We need more iodine in the form of seaweeds if we have more EMF exposure.
- If people don't do well with saturated fats, it's because of environmental exposure to EMFs and the environment in general.
- Obese and really thin people have an energy problem and electron loss. The obese people have it from neck down and the anorexics have it from neck up.

Dont know how I go when the summer heat hits 40C in a few months
I imagine at sunrise it’s relatively cooler. That's how I get around the heat and humidity in the summer when I walk. We’re coming into winter in New England (east coast US). The average low is 15 F (-9 C) with an average of 45 inches (114 cm) of snow. Sunrise comes up through my kitchen door. It’s already chilly at 35-40 F (-1-to 4C).
“…soaking up the rays doesn’t work if the window or door is closed.”
Finger’s crossed my make shift solution will keep me on track. I watch the sun come up and soak in the morning rays for about 15-30 minutes. I imagine that time will shorten through the winter. What I do is sit by the storm door which is made up of two sliding windows. I slide up the bottom half and use a spring-loaded curtain rod with a double-folded, thermal curtain (block out curtain). That leaves a foot (30 cm) of space for the rays to come in.
It bears repeating that Dr. Jack says sunrise and sunset are potent times, and you only need 1-3 minutes. I’ll catch as much sun as possible later in the day even if it’s cloudy.

Jack Kruse is sharing biology science I have never known. He is very interesting to hear. My favorite take awa is that at one time, mammals brought melanic cells IN and we emit light. One thing about listening to many different people, different people who are very intelligent, sometimes they are wildly divergent.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
A snippet from a Dr. Jack Kruse video. I omitted some of the nonessential parts.
Interviewer: Can we talk a little bit about the spectrum of light and the various different intensities and frequencies that were getting from the sun throughout the day? Because a part of the narrative that the sun is dangerous. There's a certain times of the day that it's the most dangerous.
Dr. Jack Kruse: It’s not dangerous. Times of the day? Everybody needs to hear, “The more sun you get, the more life you get. The more time you get, the less disease you get. The less times you need doctors.”
That's the real story and that's all you need to know. And if you want to break it down to frequency? Then you're going to have to step into my world and talk about a lot of science. But honestly? It's not just about frequency.
There's an electric part and a magnetic part. That's why it's called an electromagnetic wave. The electric part dominates electric fields during the day that's linked to a lot of ATP biology. The magnetic side of the wave of the magnetic flux, deals with ROS and RNS. That deals with timing of how metabolism works. If you don't understand both sides, neither one of those are just a frequency story. It actually is radically different. And as it turns out, the light that's probably the most important of the two are purple and red. Because what does purple (and red?) do? it makes the magnetic flux. It makes all the free radicals in your body.
The electric side, that everybody focus on in centralized medicine is just the ATP side. And everybody knows, every biochemistry book you open up, have you ever asked the basic question, “Why is it that every metabolic pathway makes a different level of ATP?” Might it be that there's got to be some computer system where those metabolic pathways are appropriate for different parts of the day? Or different tissues in the body that have a different mitochondria footprint or efficiency? It turns out the answer is yes. All those non-visual photo receptors are the things that pay attention to those individual light frequencies. The body is the thing that deciphers that code. All your job is, is to get your a$$ in front of the sun with your two feet on the tectonic plates.
......

From the Internet:
What is ROS - reactive oxygen species?
Melanin is protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reactive oxygen species are byproducts of your body’s cell processes. When ROS accumulate in your cells, they can lead to stress, premature aging and health concerns such as diabetes and cancer. Melanin scavenges for ROS, boosting antioxidants and eliminating free radicals.
What are ROS reactive oxygen species?
A type of unstable molecule that contains oxygen and that easily reacts with other molecules in a cell. A build up of reactive oxygen species in cells may cause damage to DNA, RNA, and proteins, and may cause cell death.
Define RNS.
"Reactive Nitrogen Species," which refers to a group of chemically reactive molecules containing nitrogen that are naturally produced within the body and can play various biological roles, including cell signaling, but can also damage cells if present in excessive amounts; the most well-known RNS is nitric oxide (NO).
What do ROS and RNS mean?
ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are the two free radicals derived from both exogenous and endogenous sources that play a very crucial role in maintenance of homeostasis in a biological system.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
A snippet from a Dr. Jack Kruse video. I omitted some of the nonessential parts.
Light is the nutrient, UV light is needed
Interviewer: Are there a specific nutrients that you're getting from the sun? Electro magnetic nutrient that you're getting from the sun around high noon that you would not be getting that actually is quite invaluable and important to get out during those times?
Dr. Jack Kruse: POMC, nitric oxide, leptin. Those have an absorption spectrum in the deep UV. You have to realize everything requires UV light. So for people to say, “Yeah, I'm gonna stay out of the sun in the midday.” It's wrong.
There are people that do have to stay out because their biology is so bad. For example, people that take phenothiazines for mental disorders. People that have Lupus. People who have certain autoimmune conditions that are on certain drugs. The drugs photosensitize them. So what do you do? You stop taking the drugs or you sit under the umbrella or you do what I'm doing. I'm outside and I'm not in direct sunlight. All the light around me is UV light even though I'm not in. Is my body able to process that? Yes.
.......
.......
From the Internet:
Leptin, nitric oxide (NO), and POMCLeptin, nitric oxide (NO), and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are all involved in a number of physiological processes, including energy balance, blood pressure, and reproduction
What does the POMC do?One peptide produced from the POMC protein is called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH binds to melanocortin receptor (MC2R), stimulating the release of a hormone called cortisol. This hormone helps maintain blood sugar (glucose) levels, protects the body from stress, and stops (suppresses) inflammation.
What does cortisol do in the body?
Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, increases sugar, also called glucose, in the bloodstream, enhances the brain's use of glucose and increases the availability of substances in the body that repair tissues. Cortisol also slows functions that would be nonessential or harmful in a fight-or-flight situation.
What causes POMC deficiency?
- Early-onset, severe obesity by age
- Excessive eating caused by insatiable hunger.
- Hormone level differences known as endocrine abnormalities ENDOCRINE ABNORMALITIES The endocrine system is made of organs, glands, and hormones that tell the body how to do its job.
What is Nitric oxide?
Nitric oxide, abbreviated as NO, is a chemical compound that plays a key role in cell metabolism. It is also crucial in coordinating tissue energy demand with supply.
The body naturally produces nitric oxide as a free radical. It is the end product of a conversion process of dietary nitrates and vitamin C. One of nitric oxide’s prominent functions is to relax your blood vessels, which improves blood flow and oxygen supply to your tissues. This widening of the blood vessels is also vital in lowering blood pressure.
Leptin & Leptin Resistance
What is the function of leptin?
Leptin’s main function is to help regulate the long-term balance between your body’s food intake and energy use (expenditure). Leptin helps inhibit (prevent) hunger and regulate energy balance so that your body doesn’t trigger a hunger response when it doesn’t need energy (calories).
Leptin mainly acts on your brainstem and hypothalamus to regulate hunger and energy balance, though you have leptin receptors in other areas of your body.
Leptin doesn’t affect your hunger levels and food intake from meal to meal but rather acts to alter food intake and control energy expenditure over a longer period of time to help maintain your normal weight.
Leptin has a more profound effect when you lose weight. As your body fat (adipose tissue) decreases, your leptin levels decrease, which signals your body to think that it’s starving. This stimulates intense hunger and appetite and can lead to increased food consumption.
How do I raise my leptin levels?
Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do to raise your leptin levels to decrease hunger and appetite, since your leptin levels are directly related to how much adipose tissue your body has.
One study found that sleep-deprived people had high levels of ghrelin, a hormone that signals hunger, and lower levels of leptin. Getting appropriate amounts of quality sleep is important for several reasons, so, in any case, it’s beneficial to your overall health.
Scientists are also looking at the relationship between leptin and triglycerides, a type of fat also known as lipids. Some studies have revealed that high triglycerides seem to impact the way leptin works, but these studies are controversial. While some scientists think a diet that’s designed to lower triglycerides could help boost your leptin levels, other scientists disagree.
What foods are high in leptin?
Since leptin is a hormone your body makes and not a nutrient (like vitamin C or protein), no foods contain leptin.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript and video here.)
“The sun comes through the window, the blue light comes right through, but all the purple light and 40% to 60% of the red light is blocked. So, what do? Reintroduce some of the red light.”
Dr. Kruse: …Go buy yourself a spectroscope to actually test this for yourself. So, for example, I’m sitting in my house because I have a cold. Behind my computer is a red light. The reason for that, it’s sunny here. The sun comes through the window, the blue light comes right through, but all the purple light and 40% to 60% of the red light is blocked. So, what do I have to do? I have to reintroduce some of the red light that’s being blocked by the window to offset what I’m getting. And I have an f.lux screen that I’m seeing you through, but even with that, I’m still protecting my eyes with the blue-blocking glasses.
(A f.lux screen is a computer screen that has been adjusted by the f.lux program to reduce eye strain and improve sleep.)
Some things to consider:
When you’re inside, open a window, That’s how light works. All you have to do is open a window. When you filter light, even through glass, you are changing the spectrum of the problem. Like one of the diseases that modern medicine has no idea is linked to indoor living is fibromyalgia. Those are people that are all blue light toxic. Why? Because they’re not getting any red light on their muscles. That’s the reason why their muscles constantly hurt. It’s because they’re chronically energy deprived.
So, if your kids are inside, you wanna do the same thing. Let ’em do their homework outside. Let them do as much as possible outside. I think one of the big problems with kids is video games. They’re creating all these little addicted kids from the blue light toxicity.
Inside, open the window, introduce red light into the inside environment. Those the simple things you could do.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript and video here.)
Katie: Another recommendation importance of morning sunlight. And I know you’re making the point that being outdoors as much as possible is really important, but it seems like data does look at getting light as soon as possible outdoors, not through a window after waking up is important for that circadian signaling. What’s your take on that? Are there specific times of day?
Dr. Kruse: The first light of the sun comes up, it resets the circadian mechanism in the central retinal pathways. The second thing that happens, most AM light, that sunrise is red, doesn’t have any UV in it. So, red light is really, really powerful for healing. But probably third and the most important thing, it starts all the hormone cascade that normally happens between 6 and 10 a.m. that’s supposed to happen.
So, what does it do? Every time you see the sunrise, you’re resetting the default mechanisms in your brain. So, that way you can constantly tell time.
Now, the other thing that’s important is when the sun sets. Sunset for kids is also important. Going to see the sunset. If you really want your kids to perform optimally, especially with their brain, seeing the sunrise and sunset is huge. Most people don’t do that. And it turns out the longer light you get, the better you are.
And it turns out light stability for children is a big deal because they have a developing brain. So, that’s the reason why I always tell people that nothing replaces sunlight. The more sun you get, the better it is. But here’s the cool thing about kids. Kids don’t need as much sun as their grandmothers or grandfathers do.
Older people need more light than kids do because kids are…if you look at their body weight, they’re mostly made out of water. 80% of babies when they’re born are water by weight. When you get to be my age, you’re about 55%. And it turns out the number one chromophore for sunlight in our body is water. So, that’s a benefit for children because it means the sun really helps them. So, they don’t need as much as you think. And the kids, they’ll be perfectly fine if you let them play outside and build, you know, their life that way.
......
......From the Internet:
A chromophore is a group of atoms and electrons that are part of organic compounds and that interact with light to form color. Chromophores are found within the molecule as a short conjugated system or a chain of atoms connected by alternating single and double bonds.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript and video here.)
Light is like a medicine, and a lot of people don’t realize that, but that’s actually what it is. And if you look at what sunlight looks like, and you think about what all parents for the last 75 years have been told by centralized healthcare is that the sun is toxic, and you need to put sunscreen on kids and keep them out of the sun. It completely goes against our evolutionary directive.
There’s hardcore data out there. Like, there’s been six meta-analyses in the literature. The last one happened in 2016 in Sweden, and it basically said that lack of sunlight is more dangerous to your health than smoking cigarettes.
When you think about the flip side of this, that the kids today have grown up in a world where everything is blue-lit, like blue-lit screens, digital babysitting, iPhone, iPad. If you put a spectroscope on that technology screen, you would not like what you see.
And we now know the science is well-developed that blue light causes breakdown in the retina. The breakdown in the retina leads to changes not only in the retina, but also in the brain. When I was a kid, we never had school shootings or kids killing themselves.. Today it’s an epidemic.
What many of you may not know is that that’s directly related to the amount of screen time. And the reason for that is blue light destroys dopamine levels. And dopamine is a chemical. It’s most widely associated with Parkinson’s disease, but that’s not the key thing. If you go and look at addictive behaviors or depression, it’s also associated with those. And the reason for that, in the pathway of your eye, you have a clock called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. And we now know that those neurons stop at a place in the brainstem called the habenular nucleus. The habenular nucleus in that part of your hypothalamus actually controls your mood.
Children are much more sensitive to non-native EMF or fake light because their brains aren’t fully myelinated. That’s the reason why children can’t rent cars or hotel rooms because their frontal lobes are not even myelinated.
The flip side of that argument is they’re much more sensitive to these frequencies, and parenting has changed so much in the last 30 years that people think it’s okay to give a kid an iPhone.
So, when you add these two parts of the coin together, too much artificial light, at night, and no sun during the day, you set these kids up for an absolute train wreck in terms of their health. And we now know that children compared to years past aren’t as healthy as they used to be. I mean, there’s a lot of other things that go into this, but is that the underlying theme? It is.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript and video here.)
Dr. Kruse: Well, the number one thing, sunlight is a multifactorial thing. Think about a barrel of oil. Most people know that a barrel of oil has to go to a refinery, and it gets processed, and it becomes 60 different things that we use in industry, like lubrication, gasoline, kerosene, all different kinds of things.
Your mitochondria in your body do the same thing with light. So, I don’t want you to think this is just about blue light, or purple light, or orange light, or red light. There’s consequences to how light is refined in your body. And when the dominant life force, or I should say light force that your children are seeing are artificial manmade light, they’re not able to refine things in them.
Like, you mentioned a couple of them already, melatonin and the problem that they have with hormones. It’s a huge issue. And the problem is you need to understand how those things occur. We’re designed to refine that light. Now, if you understand the mitochondrial biology, there’s two main portions of the spectrum of light, purple and red light. They’re on opposite ends of the rainbow, usually UV and infrared-A. And those two forms of light are really important for us because they control the two change programs in our mitochondria which recycle our energy.
Why is this a big deal? Most people have been told that melatonin is predominantly made in your brain and in the pineal gland. Not true. 95% of melatonin is made at your mitochondria. And the reason for that is melatonin controls apoptosis and autophagy, which are the two change programs.
Well, it turns out apoptosis is controlled by purple, which is UV light, UVA and UVB. And autophagy, which is the recycling of mitochondria, is controlled by the red light. So, when you go and put sunscreen on your kid, what effectively are you doing? You’re blocking just about all of their ability to do things with the purple part of the spectrum. You’re not affecting a lot of other parts, but you’re affecting that one.
So, what’s the major effect? It inhibits the child’s ability to make vitamin D. And when you can’t make vitamin D, what does vitamin D do? A thousand genes get turned off. What’s the single most important? Well, it turns off T regulator cells. That means your immune system is totally jacked up. People who get skin cancers, what’s the number one link is ow vitamin D levels go with melanoma. So, if the sun is the cause of melanoma, explain to us why everybody that’s got melanoma has got a low vitamin D count? It turns out a lack of sunlight leads to skin cancer. And when you really examine it, you’ll find out that too much blue light, not enough red and not enough purple, is the real answer of how that light is refined in our body to wind up with the cancers that, your trying to protect from.
So, I would tell everybody whether it’s sunglasses, clothing, sunscreen, do what wild animals do. When you’ve had enough sun, go under a tree, go under an umbrella. The papers that are out for the last 20 years totally disagree with that. The problem is sunscreen, for example, it’s a $7 billion business. They’re not gonna tell you the difference because that $7 billion goes away. So, you have to be an informed consumer.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
You have to ask yourself, "What are you willing to do to offset your risks?" Now, some people may say, “I’m willing to do some, but I’m not willing to do it all.” That’s fine. I think any step in the direction of wellness in decentralized nature is a good step. ~ Dr. Kruse
.....
.....
Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript and video here.)
Dr. Kruse: Non-native EMF, technically, just to define it, is everything outside the visible spectrum. Most people know that terrestrial sunlight from our sun is 250 to 760 nanometer light. Everything else in the electromagnetic spectrum is garbage, which we call non-native EMF.
We are not designed to operate within it. So, for example, in the visible spectrum, we just talk about blue light. Blue light subtracted from the rest of terrestrial sunlight, technically, is non-native EMF. Why? Because you’re not designed to get blue without the purple and the red. So, that’s fixable there. And that’s probably the number one non-native EMF out there.
These days, you’re correct, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G, big deal. For parents to pay attention to this, just read the NTP toxicity report done by the federal government where they irradiated nocturnal mammals, I should say mice and rats, for a period of time with just 2G and 3G phones. The animals all got tumors and cancer.
So, it’s not like we don’t know that this happens. And when you wanna jump down the rabbit hole further, then I would tell you to go read a book called “Going Somewhere” by Dr. Andrew Marina. He’s a physicist and a lawyer. He’s actually been testifying about this to Congress since 1977. His testimony began when he showed that the power grid in New York state that went from New York City up to Niagara Falls changed the earth’s magnetic field 80,000 kilometers in space. So, for people who don’t think that we have the data, just remember the year was 1977, and the books and the data is out there.
The same for with sunscreen, $7 billion industry, non-native EMF, probably $4 trillion, $5 trillion industry. So, there’s a reason that you don’t get told the truth. The reason why is because they want you to be an obedient idiot so that you’re in their paradigm so they can keep harvesting. And the problem that a lot of people make, especially parents, “Well, these kids do it, or this family does it, or we all do it.” And the problem is this is part of the reason why we’re all much sicker, where in cities, especially, our longevity’s been going down for the last five or six years.
So, you have to ask yourself, what are you willing to do to offset your risks? Now, some people may say, “I’m willing to do some, but I’m not willing to do it all.” That’s fine. I think any step in the direction of wellness in decentralized nature is a good step. I just want people to know that this data, it’s not wacky, it’s not quacky, it’s well-published in great journals.
The problem is it’s been blocked from you. The reason a lot of people don’t know about this is because industry who’s been printing money, selling you this stuff, and causing you problems, it’s a big issue.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
But here’s the real caveat. If your body makes it endogenously, you should never take it exogenously. ~ Dr. Jack Kruse
Condensed version from “Junk Light, 5G, Optimizing Sunlight and Longevity”. (full transcript and video here.)
Katie: Yeah, I think that alone is such a paradigm shift… It’s like we keep looking for these complicated answers when the answers have always been in front of us through nature. You mentioned vitamin D. I think that might drive a lot of people to just start wanting to supplement lots of vitamin D to try to fix these problems. And I know you have wisdom around that. So, I’d love to touch on vitamin D and omega-3s.
Dr. Kruse: Yeah. I would tell you, let’s give the disclaimer, because I think when a lot of people listen to my podcast or they eat stuff or they follow me on social media, you hear that I don’t like to talk about food, and I’m not really big into talking about exercise.
It’s not really true. I want people to understand light is by far the most important. When it comes to supplements, same reason. I told you before, supplements are basically fake Frankenfoods that you’re adding to the mix. But here’s the real caveat. If your body makes it endogenously, you should never take it exogenously. Why? It has to do with something called predator and prey. Remember I just told you the story about decentralized light and dark? So, let me give you an example. One that we used earlier today.
If you give your kids melatonin to help them sleep, it’s because their mitochondria don’t make it. When you give the kid melatonin long enough, you down-regulate the melatonin production that they make in their own mitochondria. So, you’re turning off the machinery because you’re getting an exogenous signal. So, it ultimately makes your kid worse.
What’s some of the effects that can happen to a child down the road? They can thin their retina, they can get retinal tears, they can develop really big problems with their central retinal pathways. Why? Because it turns out melatonin and dopamine regenerate all the photoreceptors in your eye. Does the pediatrician ever tell you that? No. Because they’re looking to give you the centralized answer to get you out of their office in 10 minutes, and that’s it, you know, for your $25 copay. If you do your own homework, you’ll find that those answers are out there.
Melatonin is made in the mitochondria. So, supplementing that is a big no-no. Vitamin D, the same way. Vitamin D is made endogenously in our skin. But vitamin D is a very interesting vitamin because it’s not a vitamin, it’s a neurosteroid. And vitamin D, one of the things that it does is it gets created in the skin from cholesterol and 312 nanometer light, which is UVB light. It changes the double bond in a ring in cholesterol to turn it into something called 25-dihydroxyvitamin D. That’s not the key factor. It has to go to the kidney and liver then to be converted to 125. So, can you have a problem with vitamin D that starts on the skin, or could you have a problem if the kid has a problem with their liver or their kidney? The answer is yes. A lot of times, this never gets worked out. The most common reason for children why it’s a problem is their skin is blocked from clothing or sunscreen.
The reason why this is a big deal in adults, is if you look at your blood work and you notice when they do a lipid profile on you, that your cholesterol level’s going up, I can almost guarantee you what their answer is. They’re gonna tell you they want you to be on a statin. I’m gonna tell you, you need to be in the sun more, because high cholesterol levels chronically over time is almost always associated with low vitamin D levels because you’re not converting cholesterol into vitamin D.
Katie: Yeah, I think that’s such an important thing to understand. What about omega-3s, though? Because I feel like this is an area where there’s a lot of controversy, especially right now about if they are good, if they’re bad, if they’re rancid, if we should avoid them, if we should take them. What’s your take on that?
Dr. Kruse: You’re designed to get omega-3s from the marine seafood chain. Supplementing it, I’m not a fan of. And the reason why, most people need to understand that exogenous pills are polyunsaturated fat, that’s what DHA is. You have to realize how this works in an evolutionary standpoint. DHA is the only lipid in mammals that hasn’t changed in 650 million years.
In other words, there’s something specific about this chemical that is highly favorable to complex life. And most people don’t realize this. DHA, you know where the number one place that it’s found? Your central retinal pathways right in front of your eye clock. So, what’s the biophysics of DHA? Twenty-two carbons double-bonded that creates a pie electron cloud. Effectively what it is, it’s a copper wire that connects your retina to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, then to the hypothalamus.
So, remember all the things that we talked about, about refining the barrel of oil for your children? Well, if you don’t have good copper wires in your refinery, how do you think you’re gonna do? Not very good at all, right? So, that’s fundamentally what the problem is. Seafood is the best way for you to get it. Now, how you get it from seafood, that’s completely up to you. I would tell you use locally sourced stuff if you can. If you live in a place that doesn’t have it, that becomes much more difficult. But I’d much rather you eat the real food than the supplement.
Katie: Are there any, for you personally, exceptions to that or things the body doesn’t make that you would consider taking in a supplemental form, or do you stick to food and these other factors we’ve already talked about?
Dr. Kruse: Well, when I’m taking care of people, you know, on an acute basis, there may be things that I recommend on two or three-week period of time that I wouldn’t on a chronic basis. Like, if you’re trying to get over certain things, like for example during COVID when I told people, “Look, these are some of the things that you can do. These are things that would get you by for two, three, four months so you didn’t have to worry about COVID if you were not going outside.”
But I would always tell people, “If you go outside, raise your vitamin D level up, you improve your immune system.” Your immune system technically is your best protection. So, anything you can do to improve that standpoint.
Now, there’re certain people, like, remember most people that come to see me, their physiology is already trashed, they’ve already got diseases, so you’re trying to ramp them up and get them better. So, everybody’s unequal as one is different. And when somebody comes to see me, generally, it’s because their mitochondria is already screwed. So, the things that I’m always gonna recommend/teach is how to use purple and red light to re-innovate their bad mitochondria. But I may add certain things in if it shows that that problem exists. I would say maybe 50% of the time, that’s actually the case, but most people, once you get them through their acute issue, you don’t need to have any supplements.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
https://i.imgur.com/iAECADL.gif A few take aways from Dr. Jack’s info.
- Natural daylight signals the brain to produce serotonin which is then converted into melatonin (sleep hormone) at night (in the absence of blue light). If you don't get enough sunlight each day, your serotonin levels won’t reach optimal levels which in turn results in diminished levels of melatonin at night.
....
- If your skin is still being exposed to the artificial light in the home from over head LED lighting, high amounts of blue (and green) light hitting it at night can also disrupt sleep and circadian rhythms.
....
- Stop eating 3-5 hours before bed. This prepares the body. If you eat too close to bedtime, your body utilizes high amounts of energy digesting food, preventing your body from entering a deep, restful sleep.
....
- Blue light destroys dopamine reward tracks in brain. Sleep provides natural dopamine. Dopamine deficient means one must artificially create it. AND the bad guys assist through blue light tech this dopamine addictions for the negative rushes. (ex. no attention span, rage, abuse)
....
Internet info for dopamine imbalances:
Addictions can cause physical and psychological problems, as well as interpersonal problems. Signs of addiction include cravings, intolerance, and withdrawal.
Addictions can be physical or behavioral: - Physical addictions- These include addictions to substances like alcohol, tobacco, opioids, prescription drugs, cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens, inhalants, and PCP.
....
- Behavioral addictions
- These include addictions to activities like gambling, eating, exercising, shopping, shoplifting, having sex, viewing pornography, video gaming, work addiction, exercise addiction, and spiritual obsession.
....
- Online shopping addiction
- Also known as compulsive buying disorder, this is a behavioral addiction that involves impulsive and compulsive buying of goods and services online.

Thank you, leavesoftrees & meat suit. I agree with your points. I’ve had to listen to a lot of vids and cross reference the chemistry and biology vocabulary for it to sink in. Some of the vocab doesn’t stick so much, so there’s a lot of time spent with review. (ex: Noether's theorem, POMC, ACTH binds to melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R)) I’m a couple of months into this info. A lot of it is finally coming together. I’m glad I stuck it out. The improved sleep and the lingering effects of watching the morning sun is a BIG win! Brainstorming ideas/solutions around my place come easier. Maybe I’m even a bit more intuitive? (to early to say…)
The health aspects are the most important for me. I’m okay with the general premises like:- Sun is food
- block the negative (artificial) blue light spectrum
- blue light tech destroys dopamine hence poor sleep and creates/feeds addictive behaviors
- the sun produces serotonin which in turn coverts into melatonin for quality sleep

Good for you, Vicus! https://i.imgur.com/6Ey5pXo.gif
Good choice. If I were to pick one, block blue light would be top of the list especially if you spend a lot of time on blue lit screens. They lower dopamine levels and can set you up for a number of compulsions or addictions.
I’m coming up on a month with the new behaviors. I use to go to bed around 11:00 pm to 12:00 am, now it’s hard to stay up passed 9:00-10:00 pm and I awake before sunrise. Some nights seem long but I still go right back to sleep. There were only two nights that I got up because I couldn’t get back to sleep. I suspect it was because of the supermoon, harvest moon, and a partial lunar eclipse. The second night was during the Northern Lights activity which was a little over a week ago.
One physical thing I notice is often I’ll automatically take a double or triple breath like the kind after a good cry. I notice how relaxed I am right after. And besides the improved sleep, there’s the lingering effects of watching the morning sun. The feeling is carried for hours. Another is brainstorming ideas/solutions around my place come easier. And I was serious about feeling bit more intuitive. I’ve noticed synchronicities that are only meaningful for me, but each time it’s a confirmation that the engine is more finely tuned.
I’ll add the first part of my post here because a good part of it is a repeat. But it explains how I've changed up other things as well.
My focus is on: diet, exercise, and sleep. I’m good with the first two. Sleep health was a distant 3rd. I shouldn’t be surprised that Dr. Jack’s information was synchronistic.
I use DayMax Glasses when I’m on the computer. They eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light. And switch to Nightfall Blue Blocking Glasses at sun down. I also have changed the incandescent bulbs for amber incandescent bulbs because they don’t have the blue-green spectrum that can effect the natural sleep patterns.
I have a motion sensor red light in the bathroom. It doesn't interfere with the natural sleep patterns when I get up, so I’m able to go right back to sleep. It’s 100% blue and green light free, has zero flicker, and is low EMF.
For the morning routine, I spend first 15-30 minutes soaking in the rising sun. Dr. Jack explain that sunrise and sunset are potent times. You only need 1-3 minutes and also get as much sun as possible during the day.
Sweet dreams, Vicus. https://i.imgur.com/1zXOufk.gif

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Thank you Paula for drawing our attention to this marvellous information from Dr. Jack Kruze, and your personal experiences too. :hug: I am already making changes to my day to optimise getting more balanced light frequencies and I will work towards some computer screen protection in the near future.:sun::sunrise:
Hopefully other members can report back about their experiences too :grouphug:.

Re: Dr. Jack Kruse: Blue-blocking glasses, and much much else
Night owl
There is nothing on this planet that could steal my sleep! (maximal 7 hours...)
And all my life been a Sun worshiper...inclusive now with fall temperature I ride my bike 2/3 times in the week to my favorite lake and bade in the Sun...or I go to a place 300m from home with open view to a big water canal with banks were I take my Sun doses every day... (never use sun blocker, maybe sometimes in Sumner "after sun" stuff...)
All my life been a active night owl,sometimes too much computer... that's what the glasses are for...
In time I will post my experiences with that...

https://i.imgur.com/hLSasO3.gif You’re welcome, Harmony. I'm happy to hear it's helped you make beneficial changes. The info encompasses a number of aspects. And it only requires a few tweaks to enhance our quality of life in a world that’s got a heck of a lot going on designed to do the opposite.

Before I wind down on the thread, I wanted to add an image that shows the spectrum distribution from light sources.
The diagram shows the spectral test report of the three different types of lighting, compared with sunlight.
- The LED lamp is shown by the blue line
- CFL (compact fluorescent light) light is green
- The incandescent bulb is purple
- The solar spectrum (sunlight from the sun) is shown in yellow
As you can see, light is composed of different types of colours. Sunlight is made of all the colours of the rainbow. Out of the seven colours, it’s only blue light (and a small amount of green light) that has health concerns. As you can see from the graph, the LED light show a huge spike of light in the blue light area, in the range of 300-455nm.
This is more than the other types of lighting- CFLs and incandescent bulbs.
When our retinas are exposed to chronic blue light, a host of problems can occur, including visual fatigue, eye diseases, sleep disturbances etc. This is because we have special receptor cells on our retina called ipRGCs (intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells) which are responsible for detecting blue light only. No such cells exist for the other colours of the light spectrum. The job of these photoreceptor cells is to tell the brain whether it’s nighttime or daytime, according to the blue light received from the sun. When it receives untimely input (such as when you LEDs on after dark), it messes with your body’s natural functioning and disrupts your circadian rhythm.
Secondly, blue light is very high in energy. In the graph above, as you move towards the warmer colours (yellow, orange and red) the wavelengths decrease and therefore the intensity of the light decreases. As you move to the cooler colours, the wavelength and energy intensity increase. When our eyes have to focus on these high-energy pixels for long periods, it can cause visual fatigue.
Lastly, LED lights have ‘invisible flicker’ due to the AC Mains power. Flicker is a fluctuation in the intensity of light and it’s of two types;
- Visible flicker (under 100 Hz)
- Invisible flicker (more than 100 Hz)
We can’t see the invisible flicker in LEDs with our naked eyes. However, if you put your smartphone in slow motion video and record an LED source, you can see for yourself the visible distortion in light. Studies have revealed that long-term exposure to flicker can lead to eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, reduced visual task performance and even neurological problems in some scenarios.

This is a crucial Jack interview for everyone living in high latitudes. It seems we need the cold in winter, because it kind of makes up for the lack of sun we have in winter - pyro electric effect.

Video is 11 months old, cant believe we werent aware of Jack Kruse for all this time...
The comments below the video are great reading too..
