So it's a duality that's a challenge. It's the drugs and the treatments that big pharma suppresses coming to the market. So one example would be peptides, right? GLP-1s are peptides. Why were they not on the bulks list that got banned by the FDA? Because they've been patented and monetized by big pharma. Why did BPC and these other drugs go on the naughty list? Not because they were dangerous.
That's an absolute bullshit lie. They went on the naughty list because Merck has over 200 patents in process for peptides. They are attempting. So they in one breath, they say, oh, no, no, no, no. You got to get rid of these things. These are dangerous FDA. You've got to shut these guys down. But then what they do is they come and capture those molecules, patent them.
them and sell the exact same thing that compounding pharmacies were already providing to the public for a fraction of the dollar amount. So like a GLP-1 is $1,600 through the insurance big pharma model. Most compounding pharmacies are providing that compound for under $300 a month mailed to your doorstep. And depending on your dosage, it may be like $100 a month. which is just mind boggling.
The big ones that are, that are worrisome for me and have been forever. And this is partially why I left being a drug rep all these years ago. When you look, and this is one of the things Bobby Kennedy's kicked a hornet's nest over is these SSRIs, these antidepressants. Literally, if you look at the data of over 75 studies in a meta analysis, literally,
85% of the efficacy of an SSRI was related to placebo. These are their own studies. These are Big Pharma's own studies. 85% was related to placebo. It has a 50% failure rate or relapse rate. It causes increased suicidal ideation, violent thoughts. You know, when we talk about the gun crisis in America, look at how many of these mass shootings involved antidepressants.
These are dangerous compounds and they don't have the efficacy that the American people have been sold on. In fact, even in the studies on a 52 point scale, a depression scale, it differentiates from placebo by one to two points. One to two points. We could give you sugar pills with none of the side effects, but then we don't even talk about diet, exercise, lifestyle.
If I don't work out, I'm an anxious wreck, man. I mean, it's just the way my mind is. I have to go work out. I don't want to. I'm like everyone else. Like once you get in it, you enjoy it. But I think it's just a matter of like reframing things for the American people and helping them see the answer is not at the bottom of a pill bottle, man. It never has been. It never will be.
That's fascinating. I haven't seen that.
I think we, as much as we're connected, we're also isolated. Think about it. Like think about how much we're on our phones. Think about the reward system. And I've heard you have podcasts where you've talked about it. it all elevates our cortisol levels. It all devalues our self-worth. It all creates and perpetuates this problem of mental health. And it starts now at a very young age.
And our diets, our lifestyles, our ability to exercise and get fresh air and build community, you know, as woo-woo as that sounds, those are real answers to these problems. And the other part is There were answers and have been answers for thousands of years. Like products like Ibogaine, like it's not a product. This is a plant-based medicine that was used on the plains of Africa 8,000 years ago.
Why have these things been suppressed and hidden and villainized? Well, we know why. The same old narrative, right? The establishment wants to suppress and prevent things from coming into the marketplace. I'm very optimistic about a treatment like Ibogaine or psilocybin. And even at Ways to Well right now, we're doing a project called the Minds Project affiliated with Dell Medical School.
where we're diving into using psilocybin for problem solving and complex problem skills. Because one of the lead scientists, Dr. Bruce Danner, worked at NASA and had an experience on psychedelics where he solved an equation that NASA had been working on for like seven years. No way.
There's so much to the human brain and the complexities, even products like, and so much is controlled by the insurance. I hate to keep going back to that, but like one of the treatments we do that I learned about less than two years ago, you know, there's a brain scan, an EEG brain scan that has over an 85% success rate on depression, anxiety, and insomnia. It's mind-blowing.
The numbers are overwhelming. And what they do is they assess your brain with an EEG. It's called wave neuroscience. Assess your brain with a simple EEG loaded into an AI algorithm. The AI tells us where neurons are misfiring. It could have been from chemical abuse. It could have been from head trauma.
It could have been from an extended period of depression and anxiety where your brain has now been rewired and these neurons are becoming beta waves in different aspects of the brain. The future's bright is where I'm going with this. It's not that there's one solution. It's that we've been looking in the wrong place, in my mind.
And we've been looking in the wrong place because insurance and big pharma is telling our government where to look. And the people historically, until COVID-19, I feel like the veil came off and now we all are going, hold on a second. I don't know if I believe you anymore. At least I am. That was an eye opener for me.
So if you're the average American and you're trying to get in to a primary care, for instance, through the insurance mall, let's use Luigi as an example, the assassin of the UnitedHealthcare CEO. Why would this guy do such a terrible thing? What happened to this kid? If you look at the average spine patient in this country, you have a spine injury.
Okay, this particular spine injury causes your extremities to feel like they're burning and on fire, right? Neuropathic pain in your fingers, your feet, but also neuropathic pain in your genitals is a common side effect of this spine injury that Luigi was suffering from. And you now have to go first, if you're in the insurance model, you got to go to a primary care.
It takes you three months to get in with a primary care because there's a wait list and they have to see a patient every six minutes. They see 40 patients a day on average. You're in and out of there, right? So they get you in and that doctor says, well, out of my wheelhouse, I'm going to prescribe you a pain med and push you out the door and we'll get you scheduled with a specialist for spine.
You go see that spine specialist. They go, I can't do anything. How long was the wait to get the spine specialist? Months, usually three to six months. Now you get in with that guy. You've been taking opioids this whole time. Now they tell you we need to get an MRI in order for me to be able to give you a thorough answer to what's going on here. So that takes time.
