CANNABIS USE

      • More research going into it
    • He thinks this has a place in a specific group of people
  • Epidemiological studies are BS
    • Need to look at the actual cells
  • THC is the rewarding part of cannabis for health, CBD is the more meaningless part
    • People with psychotic disorders benefit from cannabis use
    • Anti-inflammatory, so this makes sense with conditions like schizophrenia
  • Many studies with cannabis are not ‘clean’ studies
    • Many of the users were also using other drugs, or using cannabis illicitly

ANTHONY JAY

  • Anthony’s brother, Nick, was on last Saturday show!

  • He is the author of Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile
  • He looks at raw DNA code and looks at Detox genes
    • How does your liver get rid of toxins?

    • Helps a lot of pro athletes as well
  • Works for Mayo Clinic
  • He analyzed Vinnie’s genes

VINNIE’S GENES

  • Vinnie’s body washes out salts more than the average person
  • He has to drink extra water and eat extra salt as a result
    • Part of the reason Ultra Salt exists
  • Needs more Vitamin D than normal
    • Both of his parents likely have Vitamin D deficiency
      • PVC also has a Vitamin D supplement!
  • Genetically disposed to caring about others more
  • Slightly weaker bones
  • He would likely get muscle damage from statins
    • Just ANOTHER reason not to buy into statins
  • Long telomeres — good for life expectancy
  • Red wine can improve his heart!
  • Coumadin resistant
    • His mom should be checked too seeing as she receives this drug and she may be resistant
  • He actually has a decreased sensitivity to fructose, including its taste and how much his body take it up
  • His genes suggest he may want to avoid high lactose
    • However, he doesn’t feel he does
  • Adderal and the like would make him go crazy
  • Slow metabolizer of caffeine — stays in his body longer
  • Most people can overcome most genetic weaknesses with the right diet and lifestyle
