In mammals, is insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes always a bad thing? Or might it serve a purpose in mammalian biology? Let’s explore.
What causes the body to become insulin resistant? Absence of light and cold climates. If you don’t believe me, get a glucometer and monitor your blood sugar levels pre and post consumption of 50g of sugar mid day, out in the sun. Then try consuming 50g of sugar in the evening when the sun has fully set and measure again. Take note of: 1) peak blood sugar values, and 2) time for blood sugar to return to baseline. The reason for this is because the pancreas is an organ that is active during the day in light. Pancreatic activity decreases in the evening to rest for the next day.
Every mammal becomes insulin resistant in the winter time. It begins at the end of summer/beginning of autumn when light cycles shorten very quickly, and temperatures fall. Why might this be beneficial rather than detrimental to animals? Because insulin resistance leads to high blood sugar, and easy fat gain when carbohydrates are consumed which are still abundantly available in autumn. How can this be a good thing? 1) High sugar in the blood acts as anti-freeze and signals hibernation and 2) When winter hits, our only source of fuel is fat. Insulin resistance essentially shuts down glucose metabolism for the winter in favor of fat burning.
After successfully surviving the winter, the excess fat accumulated from autumn is gone, and blood sugar levels are low, essentially reversing the insulin resistance and obesity, and turning the glucose metabolism back on for summer.
Why have doctors failed to understand this mechanism in modern humans? If we all become insulin resistant in the autumn, and continue to fuel our bodies with carbohydrates throughout winter, might this be the reason we develop type 2 diabetes? Knowing this, can’t we cure type 2 diabetes, and/or prevent it from ever occuring? Yes we can.

Silent Stressors Revealed
What is stress fundamentally? Is it getting your kids ready for school? Long commutes to and from work in heavy traffic? Managing your finances? Household chores?
To me, these are not stressors. Stress is simply a challenge to our cells to react and adapt to an altered environment. For example, a rise or fall in ambient temperatures is a stress. Strong, bright light from the sun shining on us in morning is a stress. Being chased by a hungry, wild animal is a stress, etc.
Now let’s explore a common environment. Most people work 8 hour days, in a high-rise office building disconnected from the earth’s magnetic field, bathing in bright fluorescent lighting, starring into blue-lit LED screens, surrounded by WIFI and cellphone radiation and away from natural, full spectrum sunlight. When we get home, we turn on all the lights and heat up our food in the microwave as it is quick and convenient at the cost of completely irradiating the entire kitchen. Then, we watch TV, play on our phones, or continue to work at home on our laptops until bed. And when we go to bed, we sleep in a room surrounded by radio/microwave frequencies emitted from cordless phones, cell phones, WIFI routers and baby monitors.
Why might this be a problem? Well first of all, the human body has its own electromagnetic field (EMF) that facilitates the electrical circuits in our body which run all of our biological processes. When a human is exposed to external EMFs, we get interference and alterations in these biological processes that are essential for gene expression. Basically, our signalling is disrupted, similar to that when you put a cell phone near a speaker or radio and can literally hear the interference when a text or call comes through. The only difference is that we cannot hear or sense the interference within our body.
EMF and blue light are the chronic stressors of today, and the reason most of us are feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. This is because blue light from LED technology (in the absence of full spectrum light) causes massive increases in free radical production in the eye http://www.jbc.org/content/280/22/21061.full. EMF exposure also seems to increase free radical production and oxidative stress https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4758783 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26788099.
The chronic stress from blue light and EMF triggers an inflammatory immune response which leads to chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is the core of autoimmune diseases, neurodegeneration, heart disease, metabolic syndrome/obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Do you still think it’s your hectic lifestyle that’s burning you out and making you sick, or might it be your environment?

The role of Insulin Resistance/Diabetes in Hibernation
How do mammals survive the winter? What needs to happen within our body to be able to survive cold conditions? Let's explore.
When exposed to a cold environment, receptors in the skin sense the ambiant temperature, and the SCN (central clock) is no longer entrained to light once cold adaptation takes place. The cold shifts the metabolism to upregulate fatty acid oxidation, and downregulate glucose metabolism. Fatty acids as fuel provide more electrons to mitochondria, and the cold stimulates the uncoupling of proteins that allows fat to be burned off as pure heat (IR light). The primary objective for winter survival is a shift from ATP production to heat production in order to maintain core temperatures.
Why are so many people struggling with weight issues today? Because they do not go through this metabolic transition from glucose metabolism to fatty acid oxidation in winter because humans are the only mammals who can alter or control their environment. When we stay indoors in the winter time under artificial lighting and furnace heated homes all bundled up, we are essentially telling our body it is still summer time, and the glucose metabolism dominates. The problem with this is when mammals are in a chronic state of glucose metabolism in low light cycles in winter, free radical production is increased, thus leading to an inflammatory state, which further upregulates glucose metabolism, and burns out both the leptin receptor, and eventually the insulin receptor leading to type 2 diabetes.
The cold reverses both obesity, and type 2 diabetes by burning massive amounts of fat to generate heat.
What the cold does in a more quantum fashion is fascinating. The cold increases paramagnetism which means we can better absorb sun, and electron flow increases, allowing stronger currents to run our circuits. The cold also sensitizes every hormone receptor in the body to allow for greater binding affinity. This means your hormone levels might be lower in the winter time, but the effects are actually enhanced, making you become more fuel efficient. The cold also activates the sympathetic nervous system which modulates the inflammatory response of the immune system. Why do you think it's smart to ice an injury? Because it reduces inflammation, and the cooling of the surface allows for a more effective immune response.
Cooling your body's surfaces causes the intracellular water density to increase. When water is cooled, it expands (think ice). This increases the distance between respiratory proteins, and in order for efficient electron tunneling, the respiratory proteins must remain close. The cooling of body surfaces triggers a massive upregulation in fat burning in order to generate heat (as IR light) to bring the respiratory proteins closer together to improve electron tunneling.
The cure to obesity and type 2 diabetes is to simply allow this metabolic shift to occur. You can easily biohack this with cold water submersion (i.e. 30 minute cold baths a few times a week, or daily cold showers @ 50 F). This is known as Cold Thermogenesis. It takes the human body about 2 weeks to fully cold adapt, and once you are, you will notice some incredible advantages to your health and wellbeing.

Is Food More Important than Light?
If you think what foods you put into your body is more important for your health than your light environment, read on.
Firstly, without light, no food would exist. Consider how photosynthesis works in plants. It is a quantized process that allows a plant to capture the sun’s energy (photons) and store it as food (carbohydrates). Photosynthesis forms the basis of all food webs on the planet. Plants do not need to eat, as they are 100% connected to the earth’s magnetic field and constantly exposed to sunlight, creating a closed circuit.
Humans are different in that we move freely, intermittently disconnecting from the earth’s magnetic field, which means we are an open circuit that requires input (electrons). We get these electrons from food thanks to photosynthesis. We can eat the plant that capture’s the sun’s energy, or eat another animal that eats the plant and stores those electrons in their tissue.
So do we need to eat food for their calories? Or for the protein, carbs and fats? No, we need to dive deeper into what food fundamentally becomes at the quantum level. The input to our mitochondria is electrons. Food is made up of Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen bonds that are broken down through a series of reactions to electrons that enter the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), and flow across a membrane eventually leading to the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is a mammal’s chemical energy.What drives these electrons across the membrane? The answer is light.
When you lack UV light from the sun, your electron flow slows down. This is explained by the photoelectric effect. When electron flow slows down, electrons leak prematurely from the membrane to Oxygen, causing the production of free radicals leading to inflammation and obesity.
See, obesity has nothing to do with eating excess food. It is a light story. Mammals by nature fatten up when:
1) UV light is absent
2) Sugar consumption is high
When does this occur in nature? In the Autumn when light cycles suddenly shorten, and trees convert their starches into sugars (i.e. apples which are in season in the fall). This creates the perfect mismatch for fattening up mammals, by providing high sugar foods while light cycles are dramatically decreasing. Why does this occur in nature? Because once winter hits in the northern or southern hemispheres, photosynthesis cannot occur, which means food is scarce for months. What is the whole purpose of fat stores in mammals? Stored energy (electrons) that allow the body to feed itself to survive winter without eating food.
Still think food matters more than light? Still think it’s safe to eat carbohydrates in the dead of winter when UV light is low?

UV and IR Light Effects
Did you know IR light from the sun charge separates protons from electrons in intracellular water forming an Exclusion Zone (EZ) that essentially creates a battery in each of our cells? Did you know that UV light from the sun expands the EZ which creates a higher voltage capacity? What else does UV light do? It synthesizes Vitamin D and Cholesterol in our skin. High blood Vitamin D levels in the body protect against all forms of cancer and autoimmune diseases as well as infections. Did you know UV light lowers blood pressure by increasing Nitric Oxide levels, a potent stimulator of vasodilation? UV light also neutralizes free radicals. In addition, UV light lowers blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity, essentially reversing the effects of type 2 diabetes. IR light from the sun has also been proven to have regnerative effects on many tissues in the body, and near IR LED lights and lasers are now being used to treat inflammation.
We have photoreceptors for UV light in our eye, skin, blood and gut. Still afraid of excess sun exposure?
The sun is a natural medicine that has the potential to cure many diseases that pharmaceutical compounds can't stand a chance against. So why aren't we using it?

Introduction to Light, Water, Magnetism and DHA
If we want to conquer optimal health and win the war on disease, we need to overcome the ignorance of conventional wisdom that has failed us over and over again, and relearn our biology coupled with quantum physics principles.
DHA, an Omega-3 fatty acid found in marine food sources is the only lipid in 600 million years that has the ability to transform sunlight into a DC electric current that powers our central clock (the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus – SCN) to fire up all the circuitry in our body to drive every single biological process. The cell membranes in the retina of the eye contain the highest concentration of DHA in the human body for this exact purpose.
Another key point: DHA CANNOT be produced endogenously in the body. It MUST be consumed exogenously in our diet to be replaced.
With our modern lifestyle, we bathe in a sea of technology, worshipping our cellular devices, tablets, TVs, WIFI, LED lighting etc. which all emit blue light and/or radiofrequencies that dehydrate our cells, and alter the shape and size of our proteins that affect gene expression, not to mention suppression of Melatonin and disruption of circadian rhythms. DHA is destroyed in cell membranes rapidly by chronic blue light exposure, and can only be replaced through consumption of seafood which most lack in their diet.
I cannot help but fear what the future has in store for our children who are exposed to this blue-lit, microwaved world from the time of conception. It saddens me to see how many children are affected today with illnesses that were so rare in previous generations that Doctor's cannot explain.
It’s time we begin to educate ourselves so we can save humanity from the mass extinction that is in progress.
To thrive, we need:
1) Sunlight to power our circuitry
2) Water to hydrate our cells and create a battery/capacitor to hold a charge
3) DHA to capture the sunlight and convert it into a usable electrical signal.
4) Electrons (the input to mitochondria) from food
That is all.
