Light and ADHD - Jack Kruse

Edited Transcript:
If you’ve listened to a couple of the lessons that we’ve done here on biophysics, you’ve probably learned quite a bit. But the next one has almost been scrubbed from the internet. It’s really difficult to actually find data on this. Believe it or not, it happened in Sarasota, Florida in 1977. That’s where I learned about it. And the reason it’s been scrubbed from the internet specifically is because of an industrial military complex contractor named General Electric, which you probably heard about.

You probably will never find this in a Cali or Casey Means book or podcast or anything else. Why? Because the people that sponsored this also are at the Stanford Research Institute. And for those of you who don’t know, my recent takedown of a lot of their things is because MK Ultra became the SRRI program and then SRRI is morphed into the brain health initiative that started in 2013. So, I thought that I would show you where this happened and we’ll talk a little bit more about it after you see the effect of this because the implications for centralized science are pretty magical and should be pretty
obvious, you know, to folks. So, just pay attention as I turn the video around.

Video Clip Transcript:
“Cameras were used in a standard first grade classroom, and several hyperactive children may be noted, especially the boy in the immediate foreground. 90 days after the regular cool white fluorescent tubes were replaced with the new type full spectrum fluorescent tubes with radiation shields, there was a marked improvement noted, and the extremely hyperactive boy has voluntarily moved up to the front row. He raises his hand for recognition and is now up at the blackboard taking part in classroom activities. Prior to the time that this new lighting was installed, this particular boy had an extreme learning disability problem, but quickly learned to read within 90 days after the new lights were installed.”

So, notice no one talked about Kellogg’s Froot Loops here. No one talked about eggs and bacon in his diet. No one talked about any of these things except a simple change from fluorescent bulbs to circadian bulbs. And these bulbs, the gentleman who’s narrating this is John Dr. John Ott. And Dr. John Ott used to be Walt Disney’s time-lapse photographer that he used in many of his videos. So I want you to understand what you’re seeing here. You’re seeing just the effect of light.

Now, obviously, diet and things like that were not controlled for, but this is the opposite of the arguments that I made with Dr. Huberman almost 18 months ago when I did the tetragrammaton podcast with him and told him that I don’t believe anything in the nutrition space. I don’t believe anything in centralized science because none of them have light controls. Now, just so you know, this is really difficult to get studied. Now, this actual video has almost been scrubbed from the internet because of GE and SRRI because they’ve been using this in the MK Ultra and the Brain Health Initiative program to alter the way we learn. So, listen to the rest of the video:

“There was further noted a general average improvement in both the behavior and academic achievement of the entire class. There are however other factors that must also be considered. The implications of the biological effects of light and radiation as observed through time-lapse photography are obvious.”

Time-lapse. So, you heard what he said. They’re obvious. Well, they’re obvious to people like me. as a decentralized clinician. Why? Because these children by pediatricians today are being placed on Ritalin. They’re being placed on Adderal They’re being ruined by not being outside here in the sun. And I told people this story.

We had an event here in El Salvador. Uh I believe it was in August. It was with the Palestra Society (https://www.palestrasociety.com/) and one of my good
new friends who’s the chief technology officer of Zorp Corp(oration) (https://www.zorp.one/), his name is Sam Parker. I got Sam to move down here. He’s 31 years old. And he had lifelong ADHD, kind of what you saw in the video. And when I talked to Sam, I said to Sam, I said, “Look, my belief is if you come down and hang out with me here in El Salvador, that the two things that you struggle with the most, which is the ADHD and the use of Adderall and your insomnia, potentially could go away.” So, let’s cut to the chase. Sam has allowed me to talk about this publicly because obviously it’s a big problem for him. So, what’s really happened? Sam came down here and within four to six weeks he’s completely off all of his Adderall. And just so you know, this happened literally June through August. Sam also no longer has insomnia now. Sam lives right over there (pointing), very, very close to where I am. Okay. He was with me last night. We actually went to dinner last night. We actually talked a little bit about these effects with light. And when somebody tells you, you know, like say somebody on a podcast and they say, “Well, no, I don’t believe that is true.”

Well, that goes to the last video that I talked about when I showed Dr. Mike Hart
talking with Alexis Chasma (https://mikehartmd.com/). How do you know it’s not true when you don’t even know what the literature is about it? You know, one thing that we do know that’s true that right now pediatricians are putting kids on melatonin at record levels and we know that putting kids on melatonin is a really bad idea because it’s going to thin their retina and it’s going to have a huge impact on their brain. And as John Ott showed you that just changing the light bulbs is a big deal. Now, one of the other parts of the Sarasota school experiment that wasn’t talked about in this video, but I happen to know because I’ve read articles about it is that he also opened the windows and open the shades.

One of the big things that I think has driven the ADHD thing here in the United States over the last 50 years is that we’ve removed the time that kids spend outside. And if you think about it, and this will probably be more of a conspiratorial part for me, from Columbine on with all these school shootings, one of the effects is to lock kids down like it’s in prison. What else has happened since that time? That’s when we started to radiate these kids with Wi-Fi constantly. And that is part of the SRRI, MK Ultra, and brain health initiative thing. So what does that do? Dehydrates the kids. makes them much more likely to have sleep problems, much more likely to have behavioral problems because of what’s in this video. So, you need to realize that we need to put kids in recess more frequently. So, that means you parents, my opinion, it’s actually child abuse to put your kid in public school system. I think that one of the parents or both of the parents at some point if you’re going to have kids, you need to figure out a way to homeschool them or come up with a cooperative where you can use homeschooling as part of it.

We’re lucky here in El Salvador. Several of my ex-members have come down here, started schools. It used to be one of the big problems when I first moved to El Salvador, you know, to deal with your kids in this environment, but now we actually have schools down at the beach. We have European schools, we have American schools, we have bilingual schools, and we have schools that can be done right on the beach for kids to do homeschooling. And I think it’s… It’s not a simple thing to say, well, I’m just going to put my kids in a digital babysitter, which is what school is, allow them to get irradiated for eight hours a day, dehydrated, ruin their brain, and then put them in front of a lady who works for a union that is totally centralized that wants to teach them how to be a communist. That’s effectively what the Department of Education has become in the United States. And I think if you are trying vehemently because you’re infertile or this and that to have a kid, to me it’s the biggest epic fail for you not to take care of the kid just as well as you did when you spent $250,000 to get pregnant to begin with.

So realize that light truly sculpts your life. Light is incredibly important to children, more important to most of you listening to this because your brains are fully Myelinated (see Myelination, or myelinogenesis) if you’re after 25 to 28 years old. But children brains aren’t. That means they’re very susceptible to the radiation that you saw in the video below.

(So, I do want to show you one other thing that I did have here. Let me see if I can pull it up. I have to put my spectacles on to see it. I thought it would be easier to find. Maybe I was wrong. Here we go. Let me turn this around so you can see it.)

So this is a link where you can find the influence of fluorescent lights on hyperactivity and learning disabilities. And you can see it was a pilot project that was done and published in August of 1976. It’s basically known as the Sarasota school experiment. And it was published if you look at it environmental science education and medicine. There is the DOI number, the corpus number. So you can come back and look at that. But I think these are the kind of things, you know, that I tried to highlight with the last video we did is that we have too many centralized doctors, too many pediatricians telling us decentralized clinicians that we need to study this. No, no, you need to take your head out of your arse and know that this stuff is studied. Okay? Light controls are missing in every branch of science. Therefore, most of what we believe is untrue. That is the real fact. and when somebody tells you otherwise, realize that they’re part of the paid opposition. That’s exactly what the problem is. So if you want to know why I have huge problems with people like Cali and Casey Means, not only are they funded by people that are pushing this agenda, they don’t tell you the truth about what’s going on. So I think if they have a big role to play in Maha, I think we’re in trouble. This is actually how Maha can go wrong. Okay? And I need you guys to know that these are the decentralized truths and facts. So, if you have kids, they have ADHD.

Sam is 31 years old. He’s completely fixed himself. He hasn’t taken any of his medicine. No melatonin and no Ritalin; I tell you zero and he’s better. So, don’t tell me that we can’t fix these things. And as I famously said at the Palestra Society event because I was getting on one of the people that work for Daniel Bucheli, I said, “Dave, how much does it cost to do this to get people outside? It’s called zero.” In fact, it’s less because Sam has saved on the prescription for Adderall and he saved on the prescription for melatonin.

So just realize that these things are the truth and just realize that they’re not subject to randomized control trials. Okay? These are laws of nature. The photoelectric effect, E= MC² - these are true not only on Earth, they’re true on Andromeda, okay? It’s a big deal, and it’s a big statement that I’m making. So, I need you guys to understand that you need need to hold your doctors to much stronger conviction. And if you’re not willing to do it, then I think you’re part of the problem too. Okay. Hopefully, you enjoyed this lesson. Share it, especially at Thanksgiving, to let people know why the light that you live under sculpts the life you get.

A little warning to everyone: Jack Kruse is running a cult, so take whatever he says with a grain of salt, especially if one doesn’t have extensive medical knowledge/education.

Couldn’t agree more, @QVBB. If Jack Kruse was my doctor, I’d run like hell in the other direction!

Some of the ideas he has, or rather reads from other’s research and later speculates on them, including role of light in human metabolism are decent, but he likes mixing it up with bitcoin and politics, and that’s when he becomes unbearable.

Well, if you listen to some of his interviews, especially the one with Danny Jones, he’s talking about convincing parents whose children are dying to give up their organs…and he’s quite proud of himself for that. That’s some very dark, evil stuff.

Darn it !, I missed that. What hour and min approximately, if you don’t mind me asking. I don’t have a mental stamina to listen to the whole thing :grin:

I have no use for Kruse and I’m no fan of Danny Jones. I watched it because a friend suggested it. It was a struggle. Took about 4 sessions to get through the whole thing. It was some time ago and I’m sorry, but I didn’t make any notes because I didn’t plan on watching any other videos with this clown.

Never heard of the guy but I don’t have a problem with certain people who suffer because of sunlight. (SAD)

You’d think there would be higher rates of SAD in the Nordic countries. Not so.

I’m not moving to El Salvador for any reason. Not for the bitcoin, not for SAD (I don’t seem to get that).

Maybe that new president fixed the place up and it’s more inviting. Mi no hable espanol and I’m told in most central and South American countries, no espanol means you can never have any communication with the natives. So everyone moves to some ex-pat compound.

I’m going down with the ship. Born American. Dying American.

I moved to south Texas 14 years ago and live about an hour from the Gulf of Mexico, (no, one does not get to rename stuff) a few miles from the border. Spanish is the dominant language spoken and population is 90+ Mexican. However most are bilingual, so we all get along fine. I am the only gringo in my neighborhood and don’t speak or understand Spanish except a few words. When I hear folks speaking Spanish, I don’t understand anything they are talking about so it remains a private conversation. If I understood Spanish it would not be.

This is beyond SAD. Northern countries do tend to have higher rates of depression, cancers, MS, alcoholism, and yes, it is to some degree related to low natural light saturation in higher latitudes.
I highly recommend following on X Dr. @RogerSeheult for more sane, accurate, research based info on the role of natural light in medicine.

The Data I found showed Higher Risk (not actual) in Nordic Countries. Makes sense because you only have a risk if you live in the conditions that the risk exists. But Florida has peopel with this condition. 1.3%. El Salvador none?

However, the ACtual data shows that people in New York, Maryland… have actual higher rates than some of the Nordic country.

Japan up to 3% which is higher than Switzerland.

So just for the SAD,

The higest documented rates for depression again don’t show an overwhelming advantage of living in sun deprived area’s.

If any of this data I posted is any where near correct, and we have to do some sort of historical analysis, my hypothesis is that SAD isn’t a linear causation. There are concomitant factors.

I have no doubts that all sorts of light and color therapies are very effective to anyone with these conditions even the light is not the primary causative factor. I have some experience with some of them but not an expert. I know oh that feels good.

And when poled, it seems people in dark countries express an over all higher happiness ratings.

USA is #23

The I feel depressed, I’m moving to Central America and I felt better. Ok… And if that’s 10’s of thousands of people. OK. Stay in Central America…

But I’d bet ya something else changed as well.

If all this data is wrong, I’m open to reading others.

I can’t verify or add to the data. However when I lived in Wyoming during the 60’s and 70’s the suicide rate was the highest in the nation. The isolation (second lowest population) and constant wind and cold in the winter seemed to influence the moods of many people, even though sunny blue skies were the norm.

Isolation. Interesting idea.

When I travel around the country to small remote towns, towns in Appalachia where all the coal mines closed, and towns in the deep south. Or where there is no more main street including towns in upstate New York. Oh ok, I’m travelling vicariously through people documenting these towns in America, I see alot of drug abuse, and low hopes on the future. I say to myself, that could suck all the light out of you.

There is one video I watched of a woman from a “Hillbilly town” that left, went to the city, made good money but felt isolated from her family so moved back to the remote town only to get depressed because everyone in her family and town drink every day.

So isolation could be a high factor. Purpose. Lack of positivity.

An older woman, single, recently told me that Wyoming is more dangerous than New York City.

She carries. Not the people so much. The environment. Snakes and other everyday dangers of living.

If the SHTF in this country, I wanna know where I can find maximum liberty and food security.

Back in early 1960’s an uncle from Wyoming was discharged from the Army, hung around New York City, met his wife there. When they moved to Wyoming she was expecting to see cowboys and Indians like in western movies. She finally adjusted and recovered from the culture shock. She was my favorite aunt.
The towns are safe, once out in the wilderness yes there are critters. When we went hiking we had to be on the lookout for rattlesnakes. All the years I lived there, never saw a live one. Collecting the rattles was a hobby for an uncle.

Yeah, wouldn’t think crime would be particularly bad in an area like that and I guess you learn to co-exist with the wildness.

She is an author and sometimes consultant. Her business is done by mail or over the internet. Being a city slicker, I always wonder how people make a living in such remote places.

Cody is a beautiful part of Wyoming. I lived below Cody in the southwest corner. No bears but plenty of deer, antelope and rabbits. They come into people’s yards during the summer.

It looks pretty. Wild!!

There is an entire science of matching a person to a location that resonates with them. Geodetic lines and all that jazz.

So if a person is out of sync where they live. They aren’t gonna be happy.

I’m a water guy. To the east of me is 200 miles of the nicest beaches on east coast. Sure not azure blue waters like Florida but we have four seasons.

Lakes, rivers are all good.

Anybody ever notice that most political centers are in the north of a country? Most tropical locations have more poverty than northern cities which are usually the industrial centers? The dialect of the king and queen are usually northern dialects? I can understand some Chinese if they are from the north. But if they are from the south sounds like garble.

Location is not a free will topic. However It would be considered fringe science.

Geologists claim the whole area was once an inland sea bed. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is what’s left. The area where I grew up has the world’s largest deposits of trona, a natural source of bicarbonate soda, which is a mineral used to make glass, detergent and a host of other products, including Arm & Hammer baking soda. There are about four different underground mines employing hundreds of people to extract and process the mineral. There are also large deposits of coal that used to be mined. A little bit west and north, dinosaur remains were located with a museum to house them.
The thought of how nice living by the ocean with palm trees would be, was always in the back of my mind since I was a child. I visited California several times but it seemed too crowded, polluted and “busy”. I ended up down south, along the Gulf of Mexico, so that’s were I live.

The videos capture well the many depressing aspects of life in Collapsed America; some scenes are hard to watch.

I grew up in northern Ohio and hadn’t travelled more than 200 miles from home until joining the military. Overcast skies were the norm, exacerbated in winter by the barren brown and gray landscape. It was normal until it wasn’t. Service travel took me to Tennessee, California, the Philippines, Florida, Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean) and back to California where I lived for some 30 years. East Bay (near San Francisco) weather was Mediterranean with short winter and long, dry summers. Yeah, I was converted.

Regardless of date or circumstances, I was always affected by the gloomy weather “back home” in Ohio. Each trip left me eager to leave and grateful I could afford to live elsewhere. Occasionally I would visit relatives in western Pennsylvania and man, there is something about all those run-down and vacant brick buildings. Faded white paint peeling from broken window frames and crooked garage doors, so many fenced up compounds around closed industrial plants. No need to go to Allentown (ref: Billy Joel), poverty and abandonment could be seen anywhere. I think much of my negative mood change was knowing that these areas had already seen their heyday; little hope of it getting better.
