So doctor collects sterile urine and then puts in some lidocaine, runs it through a filter and injects it into your muscle.

And what it does is it causes your body to make antibodies against your severe allergies.

And they can take someone who's anaphylactic to something like cats and make it so they have no allergies whatsoever.

And there are people who do that.

But I am saying that don't throw out the baby with the toilet water.

Let's talk about nicotine.

So about 15 years ago, I read a paper from 1986 from Vanderbilt University that said, hey, pharmaceutical nicotine, not smoking, just nicotine, that it prevents Alzheimer's and probably Parkinson's.

So I called the guy up who did the research and had him on the show.

I call him Dr. Nicotine.

His name was Andrew Newhall.

And it kind of blew my mind.

I'm like, oh my God, nicotine is a performance-enhancing, mitochondrial-enhancing smart drug.

And there's a reason humans have used it forever.

And smoking things is bad for you, and vaping is even worse.

I recommend that everyone over age 40 especially do one to five milligrams a day, which is a very low dose.

A cigarette's about 12 to 20 milligrams.

And don't smoke, but just a little bit of nicotine.

And the reason you do this is the protective effects on your neurons in your brain
