3:40
okay , welcome back to a special episode
3:43
of the regenerative health podcast . In
3:45
this episode , I'm going to be giving a
3:48
recount of my time
3:50
in el salvador and specifically
3:52
, the reason why I traveled
3:54
to that central american country was
3:57
to attend an event called
3:59
the Age of Light , and the
4:01
Age of Light was hosted
4:04
and participated by Dr
4:06
Jack Cruz , amongst a range of other interesting
4:09
guests , and the topic of this
4:11
was decentralization
4:14
and the decentralized health movement
4:17
that is currently being
4:19
built in El Salvador
4:21
and using that country
4:24
and that legal system as
4:26
a real epicenter or nucleus
4:28
of medical
4:31
innovation with
4:34
regard to patient rights
4:36
and with regard to extremely
4:39
strong informed consent . The
4:42
overview of this episode I'm going to talk a little
4:44
bit about El Salvador , a
4:47
little bit about my trip , and then we'll go deep
4:49
into this event for
4:51
you all and give you an idea about
4:53
what it meant and what
4:55
was said there and the implications of
4:57
that . I'll get started
4:59
with a background about
5:01
El Salvador , because many
5:04
of you are listening from Australia and
5:06
some are listening from the United States , and
5:09
it might be a question on your
5:11
mind as to why is
5:13
a doctor from Australia talking
5:16
about a tiny Central American
5:18
republic ? So , to
5:21
understand the background of this
5:23
whole movement . We
5:25
have to understand what was going on
5:27
in El Salvador , and , like
5:29
many countries in Latin America
5:31
, it had a turbulent past
5:33
, and that past included
5:36
political instability
5:38
, regime change , civil war
5:40
, violence and all
5:43
the kind of downstream economic
5:46
consequences of that instability
5:48
, which is , you know , it's difficult
5:50
for people and a
5:53
country to prosper in the face
5:55
of such uncertainty and
5:58
instability . Something changed
6:00
dramatically in 2019
6:02
, and that was the election of
6:05
a man
6:07
called Nayib Bukele , now
6:09
Bukele . He was elected . He's
6:12
a younger guy and he
6:14
was elected with , I
6:16
guess , maybe the same promises that lots
6:19
of politicians exhort
6:21
and advertise , but
6:23
the difference between him
6:26
and others is that he actually executed on
6:29
his promises . So El Salvador
6:31
was notorious for being one
6:34
of the , if not the , homicide
6:37
kind of hotspot in
6:39
Central America , and within a
6:41
surprisingly short amount of time , he
6:44
was able to completely
6:47
turn around the country from a
6:49
safety point of view , and
6:51
what this involved was essentially
6:53
putting a whole bunch of
6:56
criminals and gang members
6:58
into jail . In
7:00
a surprisingly short amount of time , el
7:02
Salvador has gone from one
7:05
of the most dangerous places in Latin America
7:07
and the world to the
7:10
safest , and I believe there was just data released
7:12
recently the homicide rate
7:16
in El Salvador currently
7:18
is the lowest in Latin America
7:20
, and that is even lower than traditionally
7:23
very , very safe countries like Costa
7:26
Rica , like Uruguay . So
7:28
they have done incredibly well
7:30
in a very short amount
7:33
of time . So
7:37
the reason why some of you might have become
7:39
aware of El Salvador is that it
7:42
wasn't only a
7:44
crime cleanup that made Bukele
7:46
famous . What he did was
7:49
implement a law
7:51
that made Bitcoin
7:53
a legal tender in that country
7:55
legal
8:02
tender in that country . Prior to this , el Salvador had
8:04
been reliant on the US dollar for , essentially , its currency
8:07
as a domestic currency . So , like
8:09
other countries I believe Ecuador
8:15
as well El Salvador didn't have its own monetary
8:17
policy . It was simply dependent
8:21
on the US
8:23
dollar and was basically using
8:25
the US dollar . So what Bukele
8:28
did is allowed people
8:30
in his country to use
8:33
Bitcoin , the
8:35
digital currency , bitcoin
8:43
, the digital currency , in addition to or alongside the US dollar in terms of everyday transactions
8:45
, in terms of possession . The
8:47
reason or the implication of this is that it
8:50
became less like an asset and
8:52
more like a transactional currency , meaning
8:54
it was much easier for people to conduct
8:56
business without having to go
8:59
through onerous accounting
9:01
hurdles in terms of daily
9:04
use . So
9:06
this was interesting and
9:08
kind of pivotal , because
9:10
they were the first country to essentially
9:12
adopt this digital
9:14
currency , bitcoin , as
9:17
a legal tender , and not only did
9:19
they enable it for the
9:22
citizens to use , but they also began to store
9:25
or stockpile or purchase Bitcoin
9:28
, and they've since become known
9:31
as the most favorable jurisdiction
9:33
in the world for Bitcoin
9:36
. If you want to learn
9:39
more about Bitcoin specifically , I won't go
9:41
into too much depth only to
9:43
say that it is a neutral currency and
9:46
the features of
9:48
its monetary
9:50
policy mean that it is not
9:53
able to be printed or diluted
9:55
by government . So
9:57
essentially , what Bukele did was
10:01
separate the money creation
10:03
or money printing ability from
10:05
his own government , which is
10:07
quite an altruistic thing
10:10
to do , and it's been very , very empowering
10:12
for his citizens . So that
10:15
is the background for
10:18
what has kind of came next
10:20
in terms of the Age of Light event
10:23
and the declaration
10:25
or the amendment that Dr
10:28
Jack Cruz has written as
10:30
it relates to medicine . But the
10:33
theme that the Bukele
10:35
government and the
10:38
country as a whole is moving
10:40
towards is decentralization
10:42
and empowerment of its
10:44
citizens in many ways
10:47
, and I guess the foundation of
10:49
that was these monetary
10:51
rights that
10:53
the president , the regime , the government
10:55
gave to the citizens . So
10:58
I flew into El Salvador
11:00
a couple days prior
11:02
to to the event and
11:05
what I ? What we did ? First
11:07
, we we went to the
11:09
epicenter of um
11:11
, where everything is happening in el salvador , and that
11:13
is an area called uh el zonte
11:15
beach , and what I did was
11:17
I I got in touch with the
11:20
owen quilliam , who some
11:22
of you might have listened to my episode
11:25
with owen on beef back better now . Now
11:27
, owen is an Australian
11:29
who started a fully grass-fed beef
11:31
company in El Salvador
11:34
, being the intermediary between fully
11:36
grass-fed beef suppliers and the locals
11:38
and doing really well in providing
11:41
this great service . So Owen's since moved
11:43
on from the company but he has
11:45
passed on to another Australian , james
11:47
, and I got in touch with James just
11:49
before I touched down and when
11:51
I arrived we had a massive
11:54
pack of fully grass-fed beef
11:56
from Beef Back Better . So
11:58
it was a fantastic start
12:01
to the holiday of just being
12:03
able to grill and have
12:06
really high-quality beef , and
12:08
that is something that didn't exist and I really
12:10
encourage you to go back to listen to my podcast
12:12
if you guys are interested . But the
12:14
status quo for El Salvador
12:17
prior to this , prior
12:19
to Beef Back Better , was imported
12:21
often imported meat of
12:23
unclear provenance with unclear
12:26
chemical and hormonal treatments
12:28
. So it was great to get
12:31
that beef and taste it . It was fantastic . So
12:33
what we did then is explored
12:36
the town , and
12:40
it's a very easy walkable beach
12:42
town . The people
12:44
there are extremely friendly and welcoming
12:47
. Um
12:50
, there's , the people there are extremely friendly and welcoming and everyone
12:52
is very much happy and facilitating of of tourism , the . The language
12:55
of el salvador is spanish , so everything
12:57
, um , while
12:59
a lot of people are bilingual and english
13:02
is spoken uh , it will also help
13:04
if you can speak Spanish
13:06
. I would
13:09
highly recommend , if anyone visits this , to
13:11
see James and get yourself some grass-fed
13:14
beef . So I also met up
13:16
with friends , kira
13:19
and Tristan so
13:21
many of you who've listened to the podcast and heard
13:24
my episodes with Tristan Scott will
13:27
be familiar with Tristan and Kira , who
13:30
is also Australian , and
13:32
they were both visiting
13:34
and had been there for the
13:36
conference . So it was great to to meet
13:38
them in person and a range of other interesting
13:40
people who it's who
13:42
I've been connecting with online
13:45
or talking to online and then
13:47
seeing in person . So
13:49
the type of people there's
13:52
an expat community that
13:54
is slowly growing , and these are
13:56
not only people who are there
13:59
or Bitcoiners , but there's also people
14:01
who are there because they
14:03
follow Dr Jack Cruz's work , and
14:06
Dr Jack Cruz moved there , I believe , a couple years
14:09
ago and he's really been
14:12
an advocate for El Salvador
14:14
for a bunch of reasons . One
14:16
of them is the monetary situation
14:19
, but another one is the fact that it is
14:21
at the 13th latitude , so this
14:24
is an area of quite
14:27
high UV yield , especially considering
14:29
or keeping in mind where
14:31
maybe a lot of people come from in
14:34
North America . So there
14:36
is abundant ultraviolet light around
14:38
UVB all year round and
14:40
that is conducive to
14:42
healing , especially when
14:45
people are
14:47
quite sick . So
14:50
it was great to meet everyone
14:52
and spend some time , although
14:55
short , in Playa Elizonte
14:57
, and then what we did is
14:59
we traveled up
15:01
inland to a
15:03
place called Santa
15:05
Ana . I believe there are don't
15:08
quote me , I won't say the exact number , I don't want
15:10
to be wrong , but there are , I believe , just
15:12
under 10 volcanoes in El Salvador
15:14
, and this one is
15:17
a very interesting and nice
15:20
volcano . But the place
15:22
where we went for the Age of Light conference
15:24
was in the looking
15:27
out over this volcano . So
15:31
the event was organized by a
15:33
group called Palestra Society and they
15:35
are essentially advancing
15:38
the decentralized health
15:40
and decentralized principles
15:43
really using El Salvador
15:45
or basing themselves in this
15:47
country for the reasons that I
15:50
mentioned earlier . So there
15:53
was a whole
15:55
roster of interesting speakers who
15:58
were each offering
16:00
an interesting perspective based
16:03
on this idea of decentralization
16:06
, and yeah
16:09
who , I guess each offered
16:11
something differently , so
16:15
I won't talk about each and every one of them , but
16:17
I'll make mention of some very , very interesting
16:19
ones that I think stood out to me , and
16:22
the first speaker was Erwin
16:24
Lecour . Now , erwin is a French
16:27
gentleman who has had a long
16:29
and is very well known in
16:32
the natural movement
16:34
area , so he's a strong
16:36
advocate for moving
16:39
in an ancestral way and in a
16:41
way that is free
16:43
from contrived machines
16:45
or other kinds of devices
16:48
that would perhaps optimize
16:50
our body physically in areas or
16:52
directions that aren't consistent
16:55
with our ancestral past . So
16:58
that was a very interesting talk and
17:00
it made a lot of sense , and he
17:02
put up an image of a cheetah and
17:05
compared that to this
17:07
workout machine that
17:09
we as humans would use and
17:12
asking a rhetorical question about do
17:15
you think that the cheetah would need to use a machine like
17:17
this ? And obviously not . The
17:19
cheetah has instinctual knowledge
17:21
and instinctual understanding
17:23
of natural movement , and that
17:25
is something that we as humans can
17:28
learn from in terms of optimizing
17:30
our physical activity Something
17:33
that I like to advocate myself
17:35
which is exercising outdoors
17:37
and exercising in natural
17:39
light and preferably bare
17:42
feet while grounded , and I think we've
17:44
come a long way from
17:46
where we used to be
17:48
in terms of exerting ourselves
17:50
outdoors , and now people are wearing
17:53
shoes , they're under blue light
17:55
and that whole process is
17:57
profoundly inappropriate
18:00
when we think of our ancestral
18:02
past . So that
18:04
was a great talk , and we
18:07
also and I didn't mention this prior
18:10
, but just before we came to the
18:12
Age of Light event I had the pleasure of
18:14
meeting up and meeting Anjan
18:17
Kata Now you guys are going to hear
18:20
from him next week when I drop
18:22
my podcast with him but he is
18:24
the founder and CEO
18:26
of Daylight Computer Company
18:28
. Daylight Computer Company
18:30
is essentially
18:32
being built to answer
18:35
the problem of blue light
18:37
emission and profoundly
18:39
human , unfriendly technology
18:41
devices . What they have managed
18:44
to do is to build a display
18:46
. What they have managed to do is to build a display , an iPad , and their first
18:48
product is an iPad that does
18:51
not emit blue
18:53
wavelength isolated blue wavelength light
18:56
, and
19:03
they've got very ingenious designs that allow it to be used in daylight and used after
19:05
dark , but not in a way that is going
19:08
to be disruptive to your circadian rhythm
19:10
and therefore become
19:12
a health hazard . So I had the pleasure
19:14
of recording with both Tristan , who is now
19:17
working for Daylight Computer , and Anjan
19:19
the day before , and I really got
19:22
to understand what their
19:24
mission is and this idea of
19:26
how would we build a computer
19:28
from first principles if we started
19:30
from just the
19:32
idea of human health or
19:35
human-friendly technology , and that
19:37
is definitely something that isn't
19:40
underlying the design philosophy of
19:43
the big tech companies , who
19:46
are having technology
19:49
products that are instead
19:51
quite intentionally designed
19:54
to invite
19:56
us to use them such that we
19:58
might become addicted . So it was great
20:00
to meet Anjan . He actually spoke at the Age
20:03
of Light on the following event and
20:05
he gave an overview of his personal journey
20:07
and his struggles with blue
20:09
light toxicity and anxiety and
20:11
depression as a result of technology
20:14
abuse , and so that was a
20:16
good talk and again
20:19
, stay tuned next week if you want to hear
20:21
my podcast on that . One of
20:23
the great interesting other
20:25
speakers was Michael Shapiro , and Michael
20:27
is an aerospace engineer who
20:30
is also the founder of GetChroma
20:32
. So Michael has designed
20:35
, amongst a range of interesting things
20:37
, some
20:39
very good photobiomodulation
20:41
devices , and he's actually built
20:44
a couple of devices with specific
20:46
acknowledgement or
20:48
design to include
20:51
specific wavelengths of light that
20:53
we have to target our
20:56
non-visual photoreceptors like
20:58
encephalopsin , that
21:01
I don't believe any other company at the moment
21:04
is doing . I haven't personally used those devices
21:06
, but the innovation
21:08
is something that I respect immensely and this
21:10
idea of again building
21:12
technology and potentially
21:15
therapeutic devices that are
21:17
directly targeted to
21:19
our biological
21:22
needs and our biological
21:24
features . So Michael talked
21:26
about a range of topics , but
21:28
he talked about the need
21:31
to build and
21:33
focus on engineering , focus
21:35
on first principles and not
21:37
on reasoning
21:39
by analogy and that is something that I try
21:41
and include or leverage
21:44
when I think about health and I think about other
21:46
problems is how can we as much as possible
21:48
understand a system and think from
21:50
first principles rather than by
21:53
analogy or by ? Something
21:55
that people have always done
21:58
and that reflects
22:00
in engineering particularly this
22:02
idea of trial and error , and maybe
22:05
you might not understand academically
22:07
or from a theoretical point of view
22:09
exactly how something might
22:12
be working From an engineering
22:14
point of view . Just using that trial
22:16
and error can be extremely
22:18
valuable and in some
22:20
regards we do . We listen in health
22:22
to people's unique experience
22:25
. We listen to their N equals one
22:27
experiment and that in itself
22:29
is an incredibly valuable and
22:31
informative piece of information
22:33
and I think that definitely
22:36
gets lost in a
22:38
centralized medical model that is kind
22:42
of obsessed with randomized
22:44
control trial as this gold standard
22:46
of research and not
22:48
to . Obviously it has a place
22:50
. But if we're ignoring very
22:53
important anecdotal responses
22:55
on an individual level to different
22:57
lifestyle interventions , different medications
23:00
, whatever they may be
23:02
, then we are kind of missing a
23:04
very , very critical part in my mind
23:06
of health-optimized
23:09
individual . Michael's
23:12
talk was very interesting and next
23:15
Kira spoke . And Kira , for
23:17
those who don't know , was training as
23:19
a nurse on the Sunshine
23:21
Coast in Queensland and she
23:23
was not
23:26
able to continue her training due
23:28
to mandates
23:30
and those mandates weren't lifted
23:33
until recently . But they essentially
23:36
forced her out
23:38
of clinical practice and into health
23:43
optimizing , health coaching and put
23:45
her down a very interesting path
23:47
and I think she's subsequently done very well and she's creating very , very interesting
23:49
path and I think she's subsequently done very well and she's creating very , very
23:52
great content and helping
23:54
lots of people . But it was very
23:56
interesting to
23:58
hear her first-hand account of
24:01
that journey and
24:03
what it took and the costs
24:05
that it put upon
24:07
her to stay
24:10
true to her values despite what
24:13
you know the structures around her
24:15
employers university were
24:17
insisting . Check
24:20
out Kira on her Instagram
24:22
profile and her work , if you haven't
24:24
already . She's posting
24:26
very , very good and interesting content
24:28
on quantum health . So
24:31
the next speaker
24:33
that was
24:35
interesting was Max
24:38
Keiser . Now Max Keiser , I
24:40
believe , is a very old
24:43
Bitcoin advocate and
24:45
he made the
24:48
points or covered
24:50
a range of topics that illustrated
24:53
how the separation
24:55
of the money from the
24:59
government of El Salvador was and
25:02
is a prerequisite to increasing
25:04
freedom and increasing prosperity
25:07
of its citizens . So his perspective
25:09
was very interesting and definitely
25:13
worth hearing . So
25:16
the final or
25:18
the main talk was Dr
25:21
Jack Cruz , and Dr
25:23
Jack Cruz was presenting
25:26
, and he presented what he
25:28
has formulated in terms
25:30
of what
25:33
are constitutional amendments to
25:35
the El Salvador constitution
25:38
. What he
25:40
proposed and what he has written
25:43
are a set
25:45
of law or text
25:48
that specifically protects
25:50
the rights of
25:52
patients in
25:54
that country . So I
25:57
guess the background to why
26:00
this was necessary I mean , I think
26:02
that
26:05
a lot is quite
26:07
self-evident in many ways
26:09
with regard to the
26:11
kind of indication or
26:14
the reason why
26:16
this might be necessary
26:19
and the
26:21
application
26:23
of what Cruz wrote
26:26
is specifically to protect
26:28
the sanctity of what should
26:30
be a very intimate
26:33
relationship , that is , between the patient
26:35
and the doctor , and what
26:37
we've seen over the past four
26:40
years was a
26:43
situation where
26:46
in many cases , that
26:48
relationship , the integrity of that
26:50
relationship , was
26:52
not respected and the
26:54
outcome is inevitably
26:56
, in any situation where the
26:59
doctor has to consider other interests
27:02
other than their patient , the only
27:04
outcome can be a suboptimal
27:07
for the patient a sub-optimal for
27:09
the patient . So that is kind of the background
27:12
to why these laws were
27:14
, or why this was required
27:17
or why it was written . Not
27:21
only is he seeking to patch
27:24
that hole in terms of what
27:27
I kind of frame as a security
27:30
vulnerability in the
27:32
software of
27:34
society , but also to fix
27:37
the peer review process , and
27:40
the peer review process in
27:42
science is something that has
27:44
been susceptible to
27:46
influence and a
27:48
range of academic
27:51
and university and even
27:53
corporate interests that make the publication
27:56
of unbiased science and innovative
27:58
science quite difficult . So
28:01
he also talked about how
28:03
we might solve this problem , again
28:05
building on the structure that
28:22
the Bitcoin protocol is offering
28:25
the US constitution and
28:28
the fact that in
28:30
the US constitution they didn't decide
28:32
to include any protection
28:35
for medical freedom
28:38
or medical sovereignty . So
28:41
what I think the interesting
28:43
or fascinating implication of this
28:45
past four and five years is
28:47
that what has happened
28:50
has really revealed , maybe , a
28:52
vulnerability that no one really
28:54
understood or no one was able to see
28:56
until now , in terms
28:58
of how
29:00
medicine and medical
29:03
needs and medical
29:05
indications could be basically
29:07
manipulated to further
29:09
other interests . So that was the
29:11
thrust of Dr
29:14
Jack Cruz's presentation was explaining exactly
29:16
how these laws might be
29:19
implemented and how they might help
29:21
to protect people . They
29:24
encompass , in a very
29:26
interesting way , a whole bunch
29:28
of areas or aspects
29:31
of health that have not
29:33
necessarily only to do with mandated
29:36
medicine , but also with other
29:39
technologies or other impositions
29:42
into public health
29:46
, whether that might be additives
29:50
, medication , whether that might
29:52
be air contamination
29:54
and air pollution . All of
29:56
these various aspects
30:00
of health have
30:02
been considered and are going to
30:04
be implemented in
30:07
this law . It was to
30:10
understand the kind
30:12
of degree to which this
30:14
was interesting and essentially groundbreaking
30:17
was the following talk
30:19
by President Bukele
30:21
himself , who had pre-recorded
30:24
his speech
30:27
. But basically what President
30:29
Bukele illustrated was
30:31
that he deeply understands
30:34
the issues or the problems that
30:36
have been kind
30:38
of bubbled over or culminated from
30:40
centralized systems
30:42
and how influence
30:45
by centralized systems
30:47
have led to these
30:51
outcomes or these implications
30:54
where the individual and
30:56
the individual person and the individual citizen
30:58
might not be getting the impartial
31:01
, unbiased health
31:03
advice or health care that
31:06
they deserve . So it
31:08
was . It's fascinating
31:10
to see how
31:13
quickly or how intimately
31:15
the president is
31:18
abreast of these problems
31:20
and how willing he is to address
31:23
them . So what are my thoughts
31:25
? So that was the event
31:27
and again , I've given you a brief
31:30
overview . If you're wanting the kind
31:32
of nitty grittyitty I'm happy to tell
31:34
you more in my private group . But the
31:37
events , or
31:39
the implications , I think
31:41
, of the event and this
31:44
announcement , they're truly groundbreaking
31:46
. The reason Dr
31:48
Cruz chose El Salvador is because
31:51
the proximity to
31:53
the legal
31:56
structure
31:58
, in the form of a president
32:00
who's incredibly forward-thinking , incredibly
32:02
interested in the welfare of his citizens
32:05
and incredibly ready
32:07
to make bold changes
32:10
for the advancement of
32:12
his country , means
32:14
that this is like a force multiplying
32:16
effect , this idea that if
32:18
the El Salvadorian constitution
32:21
might be updated with special
32:24
protections for people , then
32:26
this might more easily be able to be
32:28
replicated in other countries
32:31
and in bigger countries where there's
32:33
greater distance between the
32:36
legislative level
32:39
and individuals
32:42
. It's a unique
32:44
situation where the
32:47
size , or the small size , of El
32:50
Salvador is really providing quite
32:52
an ample
32:55
or suitable place to
32:59
introduce these types of
33:01
approaches into the world . So
33:15
the medical freedom laws and I Cruz
33:17
is proposing is really fixing
33:19
a security hole in
33:22
the way that societies
33:25
have had and the way
33:27
that events happen
33:30
to allow freedoms
33:33
and incursions into the
33:35
doctor-patient relationship that previously
33:38
weren't tolerated
33:41
in the medical field
33:43
. And I think that
33:45
getting back to this
33:48
fundamental relationship and this fundamental
33:50
axiom of our
33:53
medical industry
33:55
is important , and what
33:57
that is is this sanctity
34:00
, and I think that
34:02
I'm excited for what
34:04
could happen and what could come of this because
34:06
of how important
34:10
that is to everyone
34:12
doctors and patients . So
34:15
that was kind of a summary of
34:17
what happened there and again
34:20
, if you're interested in learning the nuts
34:22
and bolts , read Dr Jack Kruse's blog post
34:25
and listen to updates
34:28
that are coming out . But I think that
34:30
this is an extremely
34:32
exciting development and , again
34:34
, something that is going to be for
34:36
the benefit of basically everyone , except
34:40
for , perhaps , the overly
34:43
corporatized , centralized entities
34:45
that perhaps have
34:47
a financial benefit . But really
34:50
the implications
34:52
are huge and I'm very excited
34:54
to be following this into
34:57
the future . So my
34:59
thoughts on El Salvador
35:01
in general is that it's
35:04
a very exciting place and it's a very
35:07
interesting place to
35:10
have all this thing going on . I
35:13
visited the National Library
35:15
in San Salvador after the
35:17
Age of Light event , very briefly
35:19
, and what we saw
35:21
there is a lot of very
35:23
happy people in
35:26
a newly built building with
35:29
an abundant access to books
35:31
and literature , and everyone was learning
35:33
. They were having fun on
35:35
a Sunday , so it was exciting
35:38
to see . And there's obviously civil works
35:40
happening . There's a lot of development happening
35:42
. I really got the impression that this
35:44
is a place of optimism
35:46
and development and
35:49
burgeoning economic prosperity . So
35:52
I think that is all has
35:54
happened or has become downstream of
35:57
these pretty pivotal
35:59
changes that Nayib Bukele
36:01
has implemented . So
36:03
the future as it pertains
36:05
to health
36:08
in El Salvador remains to be seen
36:10
exactly what it's going to look like . But it's
36:13
exciting to think that the development
36:16
of clinics , of hospitals that
36:18
prioritize human
36:20
health , as in this decentralized
36:23
health mindset
36:25
or perspective that
36:28
understands the circadian and quantum
36:30
needs of us and understands
36:32
the critical role of light
36:34
in this whole story . So
36:37
to think , or to see a hospital
36:39
that is built with windows
36:41
that simply open , that
36:43
perhaps feeds its
36:46
people locally
36:48
sourced produce and not
36:51
trace of carbs and processed seed oils , the
36:54
one that has a veranda or a
36:56
terrace where you can push
36:59
people out onto to get full spectrum
37:01
sunlight . So these are all the exciting things that
37:03
are potentially possible with
37:07
these types of laws and
37:10
implementation and willingness
37:12
from the people
37:15
that are in charge . So those
37:17
are my general thoughts . If you have any
37:19
comments or further
37:21
questions , then feel free to ask them . Join
37:24
up my school group to
37:26
ask me directly . But
37:28
yeah , I had a very good time
37:30
there . I think it
37:32
left me with a very positive feeling and
37:36
maybe , depending on where you
37:38
live , there might be feelings of pessimism
37:40
about the direction
37:43
of things , perhaps economically or
37:45
otherwise , but the overwhelming vibe
37:48
and energy of El
37:51
Salvador was positive . Of El Salvador
37:54
was positive and this idea that people are
37:57
collectively contributing to
37:59
something that's greater than their
38:01
individual selves , that people are building towards
38:04
an ideal and a new
38:06
ideal yes , that's
38:08
all I have to say about that . And follow
38:10
along and obviously I'll
38:13
be following along closely to find
38:15
out how these constitutional
38:17
amendment with regard to medical freedom
38:20
is being implemented
38:22
. So that's all from me
38:24
. If you are in
38:27
Melbourne on the 21st of
38:29
April so coming up on the several
38:31
weeks to go then we would love to see
38:33

38:36
I will be speaking alongside Dr
38:38
Anthony Chafee , dr Jalal
38:40
Khan , dr Pran Yoganathan , natalie
38:43
West and Charlie
38:46
Onn . So if you haven't got
38:48

38:50
will see you there . So thanks for
38:52
listening and stay tuned
38:54

38:56
Andrew Nkara and
38:58
Tristan Scott where we go deep into
39:01

39:03
how this technology poses
39:07
an incredibly exciting development
39:09
for the future and for
39:11
technology use going forward
