Oh, yeah.
The Frontiersman by Alan Eckert.
I'm going to check that right now just so that I make sure that I have it yeah and it's all in little bite sized chunks and it actually for a history book it has this incredible narrative with heroes and villains and all the players very interesting document I'm getting it right now oh yeah Don't read it before bed. No? No, it gets pretty dark.
I don't know. I think because maybe I'm trying to learn something. It's been about 80 years since the last big war.
I think I just want to learn. I mean, my dad went to World War II. He went to Guadalcanal, right? Got bit by mosquitoes. He had malaria. which is interesting to note that he used to take hydroxychloroquine when you get a malaria attack. Isn't that crazy? And then when my doctor recommended I get it when I had COVID, they gouged me $800. It used to cost him $30. They wanted $800.
They were gouging.
Yeah, yeah. They laughed.
Yeah, and people have been taking it forever. Sure, pregnant women can take it if they have the flu and it doesn't hurt the baby. It's pretty safe.
Yeah.
Right.
They told me it was for moldy bread.
No, that's true.
It's like the stem cell stuff. They started using it on horses with emphysematic lung conditions, race horses, because they would bleed. And they got the stem cells from the umbilical cords of their offspring, injected it into them, and it healed their lungs. Which is part of my story. Because I smoked for 45 years and I couldn't stop. And I read this silly book by Alan Carr.
Not the little guy who managed the village people in the caftan, the little fat guy. No, this other guy, Alan Carr. And he wrote this book. And it's the only thing that made me stop. It worked like crazy. The book made you stop? The book made me stop. I read this book. It was a book called The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. And it's a silly title, right? And it was sad, and my son gave it to me.
He said, stop smoking, Dad. Here's this book. I left it on. I used to walk past the bookshelf and go, dumb book, dumb title, you know. And then I finally, my doctor said, you have first stage emphysema. And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. He said, yeah, you've got to get this. I said, eh, I better read this book. So I read the book, and I stopped. Right?
So it was... I think it was like neuro-linguistic programming or something like that. You read it and you kind of self-hypnotize yourself. But it worked. What did the book tell you? It said... It didn't tell you you're bad, you're going to die. It didn't tell you all that sort of stuff. It was like...
I mean, they had things like, maybe I'm blowing it, but they had a chapter where it says, okay, we focused on the negative aspects of smoking. Now we're going to talk about the good aspects of smoking in the next chapter. And then you turn the page and the page is empty. You know, and it's just a trick. It's a mind trick. The whole thing was a mind trick, but it worked.
And I don't know why it worked, but it was sort of like self-hypnosis while you're reading the book. And it wasn't a negative thing like, I got to stop this. It's bad. It's bad. I'm scared. It wasn't even that. In fact, if I hadn't had the stem cells afterwards, my lungs completely healed from that, by the way. Did they do it intravenously? Yeah, intravenous. And it gets stuck in your lungs.
I think so. Yeah. And, you know, there's an agenda. I think, you know, pharma wants to keep you on stuff.
They want to sell you something. So if there's a surefire cure for something, it's not necessarily hailed.
