They dump so much toxicity in their bloodstream, it just shuts it down. So the whole calories in, calories out is kind of like, does it have an impact? Of course. However, the body will resist losing weight if the toxicity coming out was going to be too dangerous or if it shuts down things too fast, you just won't lose it. Yeah.
All right, guys, Dr. Garrett Smith here today. We're going to talk about important health things. Yes, I'm excited. I think you're most known for the vitamin A stuff these days, right?
Yeah, that's kind of my thing. I'm kind of the expert in that. Yeah, which we head into that one. Yeah, let's start. OK, well, so the big thing was I kind of got started into what I heard about a guy named Grant Jenner. I just had him on my podcast. He figured out he had jaundice, which is where you turn yellow. Yeah, liver messing up. Right.
He had chronic kidney disease and he had really bad eggs. Thank you. And he looked at about 10, the top 10 foods that triggered eczema. And he figured out the thing in common of them was nine of the 10 had vitamin A in them. And as an engineer, he just thought, well, I'll just take that on my diet. He made a diet for that. He did it. He fixed all three of his conditions.
He was the first guy who his nephrologist, his kidney doctors had seen fixed that chronic kidney disease completely. Wow. So I started doing with my clients and I didn't want people to have to do exactly what Grant did, which was a very limited diet. It was like, you know, five different foods. And I knew that I wouldn't do that.
I knew that I wanted to help people get better, but I also, I wouldn't do that diet. So I started looking into other low vitamin A foods and I kind of came up with this approach. And I came up with, I looked more into the detox processes of vitamin A. So we could kind of scientifically figure out how to make this happen the best. And now... Grant's been doing it for 10 years. I'm at six years.
And we have people healing all sorts of diseases that people think can't be fixed. Now, we do more than just low vitamin A diet. But that is a huge foundation of it. Because a lot of people think vitamin A is healthy. And we don't. And I think a lot of people in the health field don't get better because they're actually eating things that are toxic. Their intention is good to get better.
The problem is their method is not working the way they want because they're encouraged to put in a poison that's actually getting in the way. Because it's in a lot of multivitamins, right? Oh, man. Multivitamins are real bad. I mean, it's in prenatals. There's only one vitamin that women are told not to take or not to overdo during pregnancy, and that's vitamin A. Really? Yeah.
So when you hear about things that cause birth defects... You should immediately be going. Those aren't good for adults either. Wow. Doesn't that make sense, though? Like, it's just it affects the babies the most because their their cells are dividing the fastest. And that's when you can have the most problems occur. Dang.
