It’s exciting for us to expand our concept of the innate immune system beyond the word human. When we talk about innate immunity, we’re talking about a planetary event. We’re talking about an ecosystem event in which we stay in balance with ecosystems and, therefore, we have human life.

(47:45) Dr. Gildea summarizes his studies in research genetics and cellular memory and how they relate to chronic disease and age-related diseases. He also describes how toxins disrupt our body’s innate barriers. (57:08) Dr. Gildea explains what an exosome is and how it communicates between cells to change genetic expression.

(1:01:26) Dr. Lee Cowden was introduced to holistic medicine when it alleviated his personal health issues, and he shares the current global trends in integrative medicine as well as the harmful effects of electromagnetic pollution. (1:06:57) Dr. Cowden identifies the current best practices in integrative medicine to curb some of the side effects of environmental toxicity and how we can build resilience in the face of chemical + electromagnetic pollution. (1:13:46) Dr. Cowden explains the difference between Pasteur’s germ theory + Beauchamp’s terrain theory and how these theories inform our understanding of disease.

(1:15:23) Dr. Peter Cummings explains our innate system as more of a filtration system than a barrier system because it allows us to integrate with our environment. Everything we encounter in our environment is filtered through our central nervous system; so we could think of our nutrition as not just food but also light, sound and air. (1:19:17) The vagus nerve regulates our emotional state as well as our inflammation. So it is important to mitigate stress and anxiety because stress changes our genetics and creates loss in microbiome biodiversity. (1:26:01) Dr. Cummings explains how the brain functions as part of our immune system and describes how the blood-brain barrier relates to neurodegenerative disease + chronic brain disease.

Because when we’re stressed out, we’re more susceptible to all kinds of different things, not just this particular virus that’s affecting our society right now. But all the other comorbidities that come along with stress.

(1:30:35) The panelists take a few moments to react to each other’s information, and Dr. Cummings describes the problem with the bias inherent to this idea that we “believe in science.”

(1:32:37) Dr. Fallon remarks on the appreciation of the human body’s complexity and how it is impossible to reduce this complexity to a single test within a regulatory agency. (1:34:49) Dr. Gildea describes how the blood pressure is sensitive to the environment and relationships and (1:38:11) how we can create a healthy nasal environment based on how the nose interacts with viruses in the air. (1:41:45) Dr. Cowden + Dr. Bush discuss how EMF’s affect our body’s ability to handle viral exposure and COVID.

(1:46:09) Dr. Bush summarizes the journey of how we arrived at these current issues and describes the new scientific paradigm we need to embrace to move forward. (1:48:33) Dr. Cowden highlights the key nutrients needed to support your immune system and how the largest integrative medicine practice in the U.S. saw zero COVID-related deaths among its patients.

(1:51:57) Dr. Zach Bush explains why it’s important to be in a healthy relationship to all viruses, not just one virus and what that means for masks and vaccines. (1:55:53) He explains how to get the most out of this information and encourages you to use your own judgement, discernment and intuition as you make these crucial health decisions.
