Welcome to the Thyroid Fixer podcast where we dive deep into the world of thyroid and hormones. Especially for you ladies navigating perimenopause and menopause and really for anyone struggling with hypothyroidism. I'm your host, Dr. Amy, thyroid and hormone specialist and CEO of a global telemedicine practice where we prescribe the right thyroid treatment and bioidentical hormones to all 50 states and most of Canada, helping you become that badass human that you're meant to be. So if you're battling weight gain and hair loss loss, you can't lose weight no matter what you do, your energy levels are plummeting and your libido left town. Then you're in the right place and you have found your tribe. Remember, I want you to embrace every inch of that badass woman that you truly are. So if you're ready to dive in and fix things, let's get started. Just a quick heads up before we dive in. A new study looked at how 5G exposure impacts the brain and the nervous system. Using the most advanced EEG device on the market, it found stress related brain waves spiked and heart rate variability dropped, signs your body is under strain. But with Quantum Upgrade those effects were reversed. Stress linked brain waves dropped by up to 80%. Calming alpha brain waves in the limbic system increased more than 13 times and HRV improved, showing better cardiovascular balance and better stress resilience. Quantum Upgrade Is this crazy? 24.7Quantum Energy Streaming Service no devices needed that supports your energy focus, sleep overall balance in today's technology driven world, it's crazy and it's there for you all the time. You don't have to flip it on, flip it off, use a remote. It offers 30 customizable frequencies for emotional support, physical recovery, high performance, better sleep and more. So you get to try it for free for 15 days, no credit card required. Isn't that awesome? You're going to go to quantum upgrade IO and use the code Dr. Amy. D R A M I E so let me spell it out for you. Q U A N T U M U P G R A D E I O and then you're gonna use the code Dr. Amy to try it out for 15 days for free. I feel so much stronger in my workouts and I legit feel like I recover quicker from my workouts because I am now using every single day Mito Pure. So when I dive into, what does Mito Pure do? How is this actually helping me? And sometimes I won't even look at what A supplement does. I'll just use it because I want to actually experience the results and then go back and say okay, here's when I feel, here's what I notice. How is it doing it? So after feeling stronger, noticing that I'm recovering so much faster and especially with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, you know your recovery is much lower than everyone else's with regular use, I started to see and feel the difference in my energy levels and in my workouts. So I was stronger, I had more endurance where I would normally, let's say poop out at burpee number 10, I was actually able to do burpee number 20 and not feel like I was dying. So the endurance is up. And the other thing I noticed when I dove into the literature on might appear is that it really does deliver double digigit increases in muscle strength and guess what? Endurance without actually changing your exercise. So total win, complete and total win. It's working at cellular renewal, it's working on your mitochondrial health. But most of all for me, what I noticed immediately, better energy, steady through the day, strength, power, resiliency, better workouts, better recovery, absolutely amazing. So if you want the most out of your workout, cuz it's hard enough to get to the gym, so if you actually want the most out of your workout and you want your muscles to get the most out of your workout, then you gotta go and grab some Mito pure. So timeline that makes Mito pure, they're offering a 10% off your order. So you're going to go to timeline.com forward/dromy D R A M I E and you're going to use the code Dr. Amy and that's it. 10% off. You got to try it. So again, timeline T I M E l I n e.com forward/d r a M I E. That's going to get you 10% off your order. Write me after, let me know how your workouts are. You are going to thank me. So yes, this is another controversial episode on the thyroid Fixer podcast because many of you know that I just love a little bit of controversy. But also in light of the FDA's attempt to ban natural desiccated thyroid medication, I wanted to pair this episode right up against the one that we released yesterday as a bonus where I deep dive into all the things that you need to know about this FDA ban. Now, this episode is not about the FDA ban, although I do ask Brian Artis in this that what his opinion is and what the Motive is because I honestly still cannot figure out the motive for the FDA pushing through this NDT ban of your thyroid medication. And like I said in the episode yesterday, which I highly encourage all of you to go listen to, like I said in the episode yesterday, this isn't about just natural desiccated thyroid medication. If you're sitting there saying, well, I'm not on thyroid medication and, or I don't take NDT for my thyroid treatment, it doesn't stop there. It doesn't stop there. And the reason why I'm connecting the bridge to this episode with Dr. Bryant Artis is because it's all about what the government wants you to know and doesn't want you to know about your health. So what Dr. Ardus and I talk about in this episode is a continued continuation of my exploration of various cancer treatments, alternative cancer treatments, and not just cancer, but as we will uncover in this episode, the use of nicotine for Parkinson's, Ms. Alzheimer's, autism. In fact, we just briefly touched on cancer. I actually have to bring him back because the conversation went so in depth. And, and one thing I love. I will. I'll preface this because I know many of you are, you saw the title and you're thinking, well, no, nicotine is addictive. This is going to be a bunch of conspiracy theories. It's not. He backs every single thing he says with science. He references NIH studies. He tells you exactly where you can find the information on pubmed.gov from your government. He also very graciously provides his 300 plus slide deck where he has all of the references that he talks about in his discussion on nicotine listed out. So this isn't woo. It's not pseudoscience. It's information that's out there for you, for the general population to piece together. But as you will hear Dr. Ardis explain in this episode, what we are fed over and over and over again is what our minds tend to believe. And we as normal human beings and to sit back and just listen to what we have been told 5,000 times. Because as you'll hear him talk about in this episode and think about this, when you hear a message over and over and over and over again, you believe it because you heard it 5,000 times. And if one message comes in to contradict that, you push it out of your brain because your brain says you've heard this single message 5,000 times, that one thing over here can't be true. This is going to challenge the way that you think about things. It's going to challenge the way you think about health. It's going to challenge the way that you think about this FDA ban is going to challenge the way that you think about cancer and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and autism and various diseases and what we are told and what we are led to believe and what options are out there, potentially out there that could change the trajectory of your health. So yes, there is a bridge, there is a tie in to yesterday's episode, to this episode today. My hope is that you gain information that you can use in your own life and your family's life to up level your health, but also just to gain awareness, maybe to open up your mind a little bit, to look at things from a different lens, to not believe everything you've been told in medicine or messages by the fda, and to really dig deep into what you need to do for your health or your family's health, for your friend's health, for your kids health, to have a better life moving forward. And I know, yes, I'm literally tying in an FDA ban to nicotine, to you having a better life. But it all can connects, it all connects. So I wanted to give this intro prior to you jumping into this episode because this episode is intriguing, it's thought provoking, it's mind blowing and it's something that every single person needs to hear. Just something so simple, nicotine that Dr. Artis has dug into and his passion to change the world, to change the way we think of things, to get the truth out there that is hidden behind red tape and government firewalls is what we need. We just need some truth right now. Don't you think we need some transparency. We need to know what's going on with our medical system, with our health care system, with our medical freedoms. We need to have options that aren't run by big pharma dollars. We really do. And the options are out there. We just have to be smart enough and open minded enough to look deeper. Okay, enough from me. Now please enjoy this very thought provoking, controversial episode with Dr. Brian Artis. Dr. Brian Aris. Oh my God, I cannot believe you're on this show. I'm so excited to have you. I have listened to pretty much all of your interviews on everyone else's show and that's why I was really geeked out to have you on. Because as I shared off air and I'll just share it again for the listeners, many of my listeners know that I just went through, through my own cancer journey being diagnosed with uterine cancer and Then really going through a couple of months of struggling with what I was going to do ultimately for treatment. It ended up being as simple as, thank God, I was one of the lucky ones. As simple as a hysterectomy. Not that that's easy in any way, shape or form, mentally, physically, emotionally. However, it's simple in the grand scheme of things when we're talking about cancer, where there was no chemotherapy or radiation required, but during that process of deciding, well, what do I do to treat this or cure this, and then if I decide to have that hysterectomy, what am I going to do after? So that I never, ever hear that C word again. And I started uncovering, turning over a lot of rocks, right? Uncovering these things that of course we know are hidden, we know are suppressed. If, if you've lived through 20, 25, the last five years and you didn't have your head in the sand, you know that there are many, many things that are not covered, that are under rocks that have huge potential for our overall health, from treatments to actual cures. And then I started listening to you speak about nicotine, and I'm going to have you tell the whole beginning story of the 1994 hearing and all of that, but listening to this, it just, it was another one of those punches in the face that. That woke me up, that, like, wow, I know I shouldn't be surprised at this, but this is another compound, naturally occurring that has been demonized, that we've been fear mongered, that people avoid like the plague that has such potential in so many different areas of our health, including cancer, which we'll get to. So, all that being said, thank you for coming on here and imparting your knowledge to my audience, and I want to learn more from you as well today.

You're very welcome and exciting to be here and congratulations on being a part on the other side of a serious health concern and worry with your hysterectomy or at least the removal of your uterus. I'm assuming there's a lot to unpack here. I'm very excited to be here with you on your platform and God bless everybody in Iowa and all those watching everywhere else.
- [13:18]
A
That's right.
- [13:18]
B
And just wanted to bring everybody up to speed a little bit here on this nicotine discussion because it's been a huge learning curve for me too, in the last four years. You mentioned a 1994 hearing. For anybody who would like to take a deep dive into this, there'll be a link here on this show. To a podcast I created on my website, the Dr. Artist Show. It actually is a three and a half hour presentation. I mean, it's, it's a long one. You can also just download the PowerPoint if you just want to see all of the research, referencing and backing up everything I'm about to say on this platform. Because many, many people around the world still want to dismiss why it is I'm educating people about nicotine, why nicotine's being promoted. There are many people out there watching the same interviews you've seen on many other people's platforms who are constantly creating clips of mine, putting it on theirs and then saying, I must be being paid by big pharma or the nicotine industry getting so much traction around this topic. Well, I just want you to know There are currently 200 countries who are being paid by big Pharma to eradicate access commercially and over the counter of tobacco products and all nicotine products sold over the counter by the year 2030. That's 200 countries are being paid right now lobbying dollars in the billions to make sure tobacco and nicotine are no longer available to you over the counter in 200 countries. So to say that big Pharma is paying me to make sure everybody knows about nicotine goes exactly against what they're actual paying government officials around the world to create regulations and laws against, including in the United States. All right, so it's already started to roll out here, by the way. You're in Iowa, I'm in Texas. But in Massachusetts. Did you see several cities just this month have started making nicotine unavailable for purchase for people born after 2009? Like they're just now making it to where you can't get it. And they're just going to keep rolling out these restrictions until it's completely removed from circulation by the year 2030 in all these countries. So I'm not being paid by big pharma. If they were, that would be amazing. I just haven't seen a check yet. But they're not paying me. I haven't got it. Plus, that industry killed my father in law, which is the only reason why anybody even knows who I am right now in February of 2020. It made me angry what they did in the hospital. Then I discovered the hospital protocols surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci recommending and mandating one drug called Remdesivir. I coined the phrase run death is near, immediately went to the media in May of 2020 to warn everybody that the same hospital protocol that killed my father in law three months earlier was going to kill millions of Americans and then worldwide spread by the end of 2020, which is when remdesivir would start being shipped out of the United States to other countries. So that was a heavy lift trying to help so many people. So we'll dive in the nicotine. I've never been paid by nicotine company, have never received a paycheck ever. I'm not bribed or paid or lobbied by a big pharma to do this. I do not work for them. They are a murdering machine. So let's do a quick history here. Most of you may not know what I'm about to talk about in relationship to nicotine, how this rel big pharma and pharmaceutical industry revenue. But if you don't study history, we are all doomed to repeat it. So here we go. In the late 1800s, Louis Pasteur's institute in Paris, France sent several researchers to the Amazon jungle of South America and gave them one assignment. We want you to find out what plants are being used by medicine men and women in villages of the jungle who don't have hospitals or emergency rooms. What do they use to prevent death in their people in their villages? From venomous, deadly snake bites, spider bites, scorpion bikes, the like. Okay, so they sent them there in the late 1800s and then they came back with two plant parts that were given to them by every medicine man and woman in the jungles of the Amazon. And they said, we just take the bark of one tree, we take a bean from another tree, we boil them and then we make the victim drink it and it preserves their life. So these scientists from the Louis Pasteur's Institute in Paris went into the jungles to figure out, can we get samples of the bark? Can we get samples of this bean? And they did. They went out in the jungles with them, gathered them, then took them back to France where chemists broke down the bean and the bark to find out what was in it that was preserving the lives of these people. They figured out that in Tonka beans, Tonka beans was the bean. They found that in Tonka beans found only in the Amazon, South America, they found it had the highest amounts compared to the bark of this tree. They brought of this one element that was in both of them. They isolated a compound in both, found out that was higher in the bean than it was in the bark. And they named this life saving antivenom plant extract. They named it coumarin. C O U M A R I N Then Louis Pasteur and his institute Went like this. Great. Now that you've isolated this substance, can you please synthetically manufacture it? Can you make a fake version of it that we can patent and sell as a drug? And when they figured out how to do that, decades later, they called it a different name. Instead of calling it coumarin, which is the natural compound in this bark and bean, they named it Coumadin as a prescription drug. So all of you out there who are very familiar with the blood thinning drug called Coumadin for blood clots, that's what Louis Pasteur's institute determined was in Tonka beans. And the bark of the tree they took back with them was cinnamon bark from the cinnamon tree. So they figured out that both these plants have coumarin. Coumarin prevents blood clotting that occurs to the venomous blood clotting effects of snake venoms, scorpion venom, spider venoms, that kills people. That's where we get the drug Coumadin. Now, Coumadin was FDA approved in the early 1950s in America as a blood thinner that you can now get at every cvs, Walgreens hospital pharmacy, you name it. But then a year later, the FDA was told to ban Tonka beans from being added to the American food supply. Now, that ban on Tonka beans, where they found coumarin, they called Coumadin. The reason why they banned it was because if they knew and you knew that you could actually just make a supplement from it or add Tonka beans to your diet, you would need their blood clot busting drug called Coumadin, prescribed to you by a medical doctor. That ban exists till today, and it's still on the FDA's website. So they now demonized Tonka beans, have made it forbidden for anybody in America to add it or break it down or use it in a supplement form here in America, or sell it to you in a food with it processed coumarin inside of it that would prevent blood clotting in you or your loved one in favor of massive profits through a patent prescription drug instead called Coumadin.
- [20:06]
A
Yep.
- [20:06]
B
So this is the history of big pharma. Big pharma then tells the FDA what to do. Ban the natural substance. We found this in in favor of approving the drug for prescription use only. This is what they're doing with tobacco and nicotine. In 1994, as you referenced, they started in 1994, the FDA published a lie that we've all been pummeled with our whole life. That's called propaganda, by the way. If you tell a Lie. A big lie. As Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda father of propagand of the Nazi World War II regime in Germany, he stated, if you tell a big lie and keep repeating it, the majority of people will eventually believe it. So all of us have heard and read and seen these words on every tobacco product and nicotine product on earth. Warning. This product contains nicotine, a highly addictive chemical. And we've all seen it 24 7. If I say nicotine, you say addictive. If you say vaccines or I say vaccines, you say safe and effective. Do you want to know why it is repeated 25 million times in your life? So when I'm about to talk to you about the health benefits of nicotine, I know your brain is wired to hear the word nicotine and the next word is addictive. And you guys are all struggling to listen to what I'm about to say. And that's okay. If you would like to see all the medical references to everything I'm about to tell you, they're found in two places. They're found on the NIH's website, pubmed.gov a government published medical research website. It's in my book Moving Beyond COVID 19 Lies. I show you all the research studies published by our federal health agencies here in the United States of America. Here are just some of the known published health benefits of nicotine by itself. Nicotine is published to prevent and reverse and often cure people of these conditions. Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, every known arthritis, that psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, any pain syndrome is improved with nicotine alone from the tobacco plant or by itself. It's also published to be a curative agent to shrink brain tumors. Nicotine by itself, when injected intravenously, is proven to reverse glioblastoma tumors. Shrink them by half in 72 hours. It's amazing that no oncologist is recommending that in America for brain tumors. Instead of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, when it can be shrunk in half in 72 hours alone, which is nicotine. And that's published by the NIH and I show you those studies. Myocarditis, this heart inflammation scenario that's been plaguing many teenagers and adults since the COVID 19 vaccines came out in the year 2020, the NIH funded a study and I show it to you. They used nicotine by itself, a very low dose nicotine. They gave it to myocarditis mammals and Humans. And they found that just three days of a small dose of nicotine would reverse all of the lesions and scarring on the heart they call myocarditis by day 14. But they only used a small dose of nicotine for three days. But after 14 days, 100% reversal of their myocarditis heart inflammation disease.
- [23:29]
A
100%.
- [23:30]
B
Did you know that nicotine patches have been used for decades to between the shoulder blades of autistic children, adolescents and adults? And it gets rid of all their violent behavior within seven days. Wow. These are just some of the known health benefits of nicotine. Now, before I go any further, all of you are still going to be worried to some degree about the addictive nature of nicotine. There's something the FDA has made sure you've known about nicotine. You have been pummeled. If I asked anybody on any street corner, like Jay Leno used to do his interviews for his late night show, if I was just standing on a corner in any street in America with a mic, held out my mic and I said, hey, you, nicotine is, everybody would say, addictive. I mean, that's the first thing that would come out of the mouth.
- [24:09]
A
Yep.
- [24:09]
B
If I said nicotine is found where everybody would say in tobacco. I mean, all we've ever been told is it's found in tobacco. Alert, everybody. I've had to learn something the last four years. I've never known. I had no idea that tobacco, the plant, is actually in the nightshade vegetable family. Did you?
- [24:27]
A
I didn't until I heard you.
- [24:28]
B
Did you know that tobacco does have the highest amount of nicotine of all plants on the planet? But do you know what the number two plant on Earth is that has the second highest amount of nicotine on the whole planet? It's eggplants. And I'd like to ask you, how many people do you know are addicted to eggplant? I don't know a soul. All right, number two. The third highest amount of nicotine in any plant in the world is red tomatoes. So any ketchup lovers out there, BLT lovers, green tomatoes, by the way, have 10 times more nicotine than red tomatoes. How many of you are addicted to green tomatoes and red tomatoes? And how many of your employees that you share an office space with have you ever heard walk up to their boss or your manager and ask for a tomato break because you're going through withdrawals? Or a eggplant break because you had eggplant at a church function the night before and you've had night sweats ever since because you can't get enough nicotine from your eggplant. No one's ever said that. How many of you know that cauliflower, celery, bell peppers all have high amounts of nicotine? Did you know the fourth highest containing nicotine plant on earth is white potatoes? That means your mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, your potato chips from Frito Lay, they've all got nicotine in them. All your French fries have nicotine. And don't tell me. I've heard a lot of parents, they're like, I would never give my child nicotine. Yes, you do. Every week you do. Almost every day you do. Any of you taking your kids to Chick fil, a to that 55 chemical laced every sandwich, chicken nugget, French fry. If you haven't looked at that list of chemicals and Chick Fil A foods, you should go look at the list that they deleted last year off their website. You can find it everywhere online. Once it was uncovered, they took it down. There's 55 addictive chemicals put in every part of Chick Fil a's food. Sandwiches, French fries, you name it. But every French fry and ketchup sample you've ever given your child, that's two doses of nicotine every time you've taken them. So don't tell me you would never give your kids a nicotine. You already do. So anyway, and they should. You should be feeding them these vegetables anyway.
- [26:24]
A
All right?
- [26:24]
B
Not that you need French fries and ketchup from fast food. I'm just saying, vegetables, you should be feeding your kids. It's great. All right, so we've been lied to. That lie includes having information about nicotine in our vegetables withheld from us. So withholding information is also considered lying. So that information is very vital. In fact, right now, any of you out there wondering, is this guy lost his marbles? I want you to go to medicalnewstoday.com medicalnews today.com and on the search engine I want you to type in, can Dietary Nicotine Reverse Parkinson's Disease? And read the article from 2024. And you will see all the evidence in there that, yes, eating vegetables rich with nicotine, which none of you even knew it was in there until this episode, probably. Or if you've read my book, you've seen it.

The whole reason why I even started diving into nicotine was this. And if you want to learn more, you can get my book Moving Beyond COVID 19 Lies. You can get it at Amazon, you can get it at the Dr. Artist Show. It's an Amazon bestseller book since August of last year, Audible versions number one worldwide for the last three months. So a lot of people are benefiting from the truths that are laid out in here. And everything is researched, published medical journals. There's nothing that's not referenced in the, in the book. So I'm not making anything up. You're just going to be shocked by this information because I found it shocking why I ever stumbled on this in the first place. I find it very intriguing how many people have been polarized and interested in this nicotine discussion. The reason for nicotine was this. I released a documentary in April of 2022 and it was with a guy named Stu Peters. And the name of the documentary was Watch the Water. And this was during COVID And if you haven't seen it, go watch it. Watch the Water with Dr. Artis and Stu Peters. It's a 45 minute documentary, extremely powerful, seen by tens of millions overnight. This documentary, at the end of it I put the list of antidotes as the credits to the documentary list of antidotes for all things Covid, long Covid and vaccine injury. And the very first thing I listed was nicotine. And what you don't know, most of you, if you haven't read my book or watched a lot of my interviews, is smokers of tobacco products were the least people on the entire globe, unless the earth is flat. For all you flat Earthers, everybody on the flat earth or round globe who were using tobacco products, they were the only humans on the planet who were the least infected by COVID 19. They were the least people to test positive for COVID 19 with a PCR test. Users of tobacco products were the least to be hospitalized for COVID 19. And they were the least group of humans, period. No matter the race, ethics, age, it doesn't matter. You put any demographic of people together, they were the least people to die from COVID 19. Smokers and users of tobacco products were the most immune to COVID 19. And so I had to dive into why scientists were publishing this in many research studies only to discover that the spike proteins of COVID as you saw the balls and images on social media and newscast, they showed a ball, a computer generated image with all these little spikes on it. Those little spikes they called spike proteins. All of you have seen these images for the last five years of COVID 19 virus. Those little spikes they called spike proteins. Those spike proteins. Starting in China of January of 2020. Yes, the first month of COVID 19 year and then April of 2020 in France. So in the first four months of COVID 19 year 2020 for Americans anyway, two different countries, two different group of scientists had already analyzed the blood of everybody in the Wuhan hospitals who were sick. In the fall of 2019, French researchers ordered spike proteins of COVID from the UK and China. Interesting enough. And they showed up in a box from FedEx in Paris, France in April of 2020. Go figure. How's that work? They ordered it from China in the uk. All right, how'd they get the spike proteins of Kobe? Crazy. All right, came in a box. They put it into a DNA analysis. Both China and France in the first four months of COVID 19, January and April of 2020, they published that the spike proteins of COVID responsible for making people's taste and smell disappear, making their oxygen levels fall, hypoxia. Remember the pulse oximeters you put on your finger and you watch your oxygen drop? They published both countries, two different sets of scientists evaluating patients that were sick in China and the spike proteins mailed to them from two different countries in France. Both countries published the exact same thing. The spike proteins of COVID are identical to two things. Per DNA analysis. They're most identical to king cobra venom and another snake in China called the krait snakes venom. Cobra's venom was called cobra toxin. The venom of the krait snake is called bunga rotoxin. Bungarus is the latin word for krait snakes, the scientific term. So they call it bungarotoxin. Both groups, particularly the French group, they said, now that we know that these two spike proteins are identical to these two snake venom proteins, we now know how every symptom of COVID 19 is being created. Whether it was brain fog, tinnitus, vertigo, low blood pressure, low oxygen levels, it didn't matter. Every single symptom was finally answered in April of 2020. And they wrote, these snake venom proteins only bind to nicotine receptors in the brain stem and every cell of the human body to cause every symptom you're seeing called COVID19. And they wrote in April 2020, this is why medical doctors and scientists around the world are perplexed that smokers are seemingly immune to COVID 19. That's because these snake venom proteins that are used as killing toxins in their prey, they paralyze the breathing of all mammals by binding to nicotine receptors in the brain stem, which is what's happening in COVID patients, to lead to low oxygen levels. And the same nicotine receptors are in the tongue of every human and in the nose of every human to lead to a loss of taste and smell. And they said this is why smokers seem immune to Covid. And then they wrote, Dr. Amy they wrote, if every government around the world, this is in April 2020, would pass out nicotine products like patches and gums, they name it. They said if they would pass those out to every citizen in their countries, you could end the pandemic called COVID 19 in less than two weeks. Do you know what America did instead? Within one week, Anthony Fauci, learning this information, seeing this published document out of France that was sent all over the world, he went into the media to publish a lie. For the next four years, he would repeat almost daily. It was this. He lied and said every day. One week after this published study came out in France in April 2020, he said every day since then, smokers, it has been discovered by scientists, are the most affected by COVID 19. They're the most to get sick the most to get hospitalized and the most to die. The exact opposite of what was published, actually. And then he would say this every time he talked. There's no better time than now to quit smoking, America. To reduce your burden of COVID 19. No, they needed you to stop using tobacco products so you would get sick with COVID So that you would fall victim to the vaccine agenda for COVID 19. Those people that never got sick, those chain smokers and dip users, they never got Covid. How are you going to convince them to go get a COVID 19 vaccine if they never got sick? So they needed a huge propaganda machine, Tons of commercials, tons of ads. To this day, you'll still see Pfizer ads for Paxlovid. Paxlovid, a drug for Covid long Covid, currently by prescription only. Every commercial they will say, smokers are the most affected by Covid. Please stop smoking. And I'm like, oh my God, stop saying this. Tobacco users, nicotine users are the ones that were the most immune. And this is what was found since April of 2020. So then I wanted to know if they know this about nicotine and Covid. I wanted to know if nicotine receptors play a role with all viruses studied by medicine and science. And doc, I just have to say, everybody watching here, there's a reason. For three and a half years now, I wear a five, three and a half to five milligram size nicotine patch every single day. And I will the rest of my life. And I've never used a cigarette, smoked a cigarette, never, never in my entire life have used tobacco, dip, nothing. So in the last three and a half years, though, every day I've worn a nicotine patch. My wife chews nicotine gum every day, never did until three and a half years ago. And my wife suffered with no taste, no smell, horrible ringing in her ears called tinnitus or tinnitus. Deafening to the point she couldn't hear me talking to her right in front of her or on a couch setting. Nor could she ever hear a TV or movie. She just couldn't hear it. It was too roaring. After getting Covid in early, late 2020. And then she started experiencing brain fog and then developed pots where she would stand up and get real dizzy and fall over because her blood pressure would crash. This was going on for two whole years. It didn't matter if I gave her ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, zinc, selenium, magnesium, it didn't matter. Everything I've tried, dietary changes included and all techniques. Nothing restored her taste and smell and all of the other concerns until I discovered the nicotine connection. It took three months to convince her to try nicotine, and I wasn't able to convince her. A medical doctor in Australia was able to convince her when she came on a podcast and was sharing with me and the host that within 30 minutes of chewing one piece of nicotine gum, she had permanent told permanent hearing loss in her right ear from COVID two years earlier and they blamed it on Covid in Australia. This was A medical doctor was told her hearing loss was caused by COVID infection and it will be permanent for life within 30 minutes of chewing one nicotine gum after watching my Watch the water documentary, within 30 minutes, she felt a rush of wind go into her ear and a hundred percent of her hearing was restored by minute 45. When my wife heard this testimonial live on air with me sitting at my kitchen table doing this interview, she went to Costco, not didn't even tell me, Bought a case of Nicorek gum and hid it from me for three days. On the third day, she blocks me in the hallways. I'm trying to get to the master bedroom, and she standing in front of me, going back and forth, and she's like, I have something to confess. And I said, what's that? And she pulls out the case of Nicorette gum. And she said. I said, holy crap, it's open. She goes, yeah, I went and bought it three days ago. I said, you've been doing it? And she goes, yeah. I said, how many? She goes, the amount you've been telling people. You keep telling people 2 milligram gum four times a day. I've been doing that three times a day. Honey, this morning is the first time. On the third day, she had all of her taste back, all of her smell back. The tinnitus disappeared. Never again has she had a vertigo session, going from seated to standing. She had for two whole years, the suffering. All right, so as a result of this, within about six months of this documentary coming out, a researcher named Mark Marco Letsky. I show his research study in my book. I actually got a phone call from the military in the United States, I'm not joking. On an unknown number, I get a phone call from somebody from the Pentagon telling me that there was a meeting, a clandestine meeting at the Pentagon that morning where a research study was being passed around. And the government head said, it needs to be buried. This research study cannot be made public. We got to bury it. And this military person 30 plus year Admiral in the Navy. He was in the meeting and he took the research studies title. And then he called me and then told me the reference in the author's name. And he said, the government's trying to bury this so people don't know you need it. And so I, I have the research study. It's in my book. It was proven that long Covid symptoms, hundred percent of them, everybody listening, not 30%, not 50%, not 70%, not 90%, not 99%, 100% of all long Covid symptoms that anybody had for two years were completely cured with a 7 milligram nicotine patch in just six days of wearing them. And these people were followed up six months later. After the six days ended and they were all cured, they never did another nicotine patch ever again. The researchers called them back before publishing the study and wanted to know, did any of your long Covid symptoms return after the six days of using a 7 milligram nicotine patch? And not a single person had a single symptom return. All of them were still gone. And the authors wrote in the paper, not a single one of the participants who had long Covid for two years, not a single one of them developed a dependency on nicotine products and none of them had withdrawal symptoms coming off of it. And they don't expect anybody else who tries this either to have it happen. There have been literally hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have told me they've personally used nicotine, either patches or gum, and have seen myriads of health issues related to Covid, vaccines for Covid or unrelated previous issues completely reversed. I have heard things as. I'm not joking. Paraplegia reversed in 72 hours using nicotine gum. In Australia, I've heard about deafness reversed. Like I just shared here. I've seen trigger fingers, like people can't raise their fingers. They have to have surgery done within 12 to 48 hours. They put a 1 milligram nicotine patch on the joint, 100% range of motion restored. And these senior citizens all over the world, it's pretty amazing. Arthritis is completely remitted. Joint pain in the hips, knees, elbows, wrist, you name it, they just put a nicotine patch on. As I educate people from research studies and they are finding freedom from their suffering within 72 hours, I haven't seen it not happen yet. It's been amazing to watch people's lives transform for the better using nicotine. I don't know if you guys know this, but nicotine is actually a Published Nootropic, A similar product. Nootropic means it's a substance that enhances brain function. No, O tropic. N O o tropic or tropic. Do you know what else is a similar product called a nootropic? Caffeine. You know, people can't wake up, can't function at work until they go to Starbucks and pay 12 bucks for their one cup of coffee, three cups of coffee, whatever it is, they're looking for caffeine to stimulate their brain to wake them up. Nicotine is a. No, nootropic. A natural substance that increases memory recall performance, muscle integrity and coordination. Pretty amazing. In fact, I just was introduced to a study. I need to tell you all here because I know you're still probably worried, being run by your nicotine programming that it's addictive. I just want you to know nicotine is not addictive. In fact, I could tell you how I know this. I've already known this for like three and a half years through all these medical research studies and the use of nicotine myself. For those of you out there who are still wondering, Dr. Amy do you know how much nicotine is in one cigarette?
- [42:14]
A
Oh, I do not. No.
- [42:15]
B
One milligram.
- [42:17]
A
Okay.
- [42:18]
B
All right, so how much, how many milligrams of nicotine would be in 15 cigarettes? 15 milligrams. Right. All right, so I just said that nicotine studies with nicotine patches were done to cure people of long Covid and they used 7 milligram nicotine patches. That would be the equivalent of seven cigarettes in a 24 hour period for six days only. There was zero withdrawal symptoms, zero addictive nature or dependency created in six days of taking and wearing nicotine patches. That was published there. I was shown a research study just last week. I've on air with a media host. They said I found the smoking gun in the argument that nicotine is addictive. I said, oh yeah, send me the study. The study you have to go buy. But I bought it. It's like 39 bucks at this research institute. It's a six month long study using just nicotine patches studying its improvement in brain function, memory recall and motor coordination. Dr. Amy they used 15 milligram nicotine patches daily for six months was the trial. Okay, everybody out there. If one cigarette's addictive because of nicotine, what do you think the equivalent of 15 cigarettes a day of nicotine would be for six months? Do you think those people might be addicted after 180 days of using a highly addictive substance. Okay, I'm going to take a quote right out of the research study. Six months after the completion of the six month study, 100% of all mental cognitive function was massively improved using nicotine for six months. Motor skills, gait, balance, all improved. In every person that did it, there was 75 participants in this study, all using nicotine for the first time in their whole life. They were taking 15 milligrams, 15 cigarettes, worth a day for 180 days. All performances improved in the study. It is written the authors called back all of the participants six months later and wanted to find out were there any withdrawal symptoms coming off of this addictive nicotine patch study? 74 participants, 0 reported withdrawal symptoms from this highly addictive substance. And then they asked them, did any of you continue using nicotine patches after the study? Not a single person even elected to keep using them and no one was using them. So I would like to ask all of you, if we did a heroin or cocaine study and gave them heroin or cocaine every day for six months, do you think any of them after 180 days would have withdrawal symptoms or a dependency on this addictive substance? My, my mind would say I would assume at least one person would have withdrawal symptoms or have become addicted to that addictive product.
- [45:03]
A
I'm going to throw this in real quick. Not to break your rhythm, but when you're, when you're talking about gait and just coordination. I'm also thinking about autistic kids because my stepson is autistic, does not have the temperament and the anger part of autism, but he's developmentally delayed, nonverbal, and doesn't have that coordination like the gate, the hand, body, leg, foot coordination just isn't there. So that's interesting as well.
- [45:32]
B
How old your child?
- [45:33]
A
13.
- [45:34]
B
13. I put a 7 milligram nicotine patch between his shoulder blades, just like the research studies I show you are published in autistic research studies using nicotine patches. It's always a 7 milligram nicotine patch, regardless of age. In fact, one of the studies I have in my book in chapter 13 about nicotine is discussing violent behavior of children and adolescents in hospitals. When they're trying to do procedures on autistic kids and teenagers, they become super violent flailing around. They're very resistant to being in a bed, hospital room, right. While needles and tubes and devices are chiming out the roof. So in this, I show you that there was a teenager with autism that they'd brought in there and all the medical staff and hospital staff had decided they were going to have to restrain the kid to the bed rails because he was so resistant to anything medical doctor getting close to him or touching him. And one of the medical professionals said, how about we try this? I've read research studies. Can we, can we just try a nicotine patch on the kid and see if it calms them down? Not a joke. I show you the results of the study. The kid totally within 30 minutes was like, you can do whatever you want to me. It's okay, go ahead. Totally. No restraints needed. When all of the staff had resigned, that was the only way they're going to be able to do anything with this kid. And anyway, this is. Yes, I would recommend the nicotine. This is really sad and I want to say I'm really sorry to all the parents who've experienced this, but lots of people have gotten the information about nicotine. Even last month, I mean, two months ago, I was at Turning Point USA doing interview with Alex Clark. Alex Clark and Tucker Carlson are together last month Talking about me, Dr. Brian Artisan. My nicotine stuff that I've educated her and Tucker's audiences with. But I just want you know, this is a very hot topic. But there have been parents who are at pediatricians offices all over America in the last six months, in the last year who are learning more about nicotine and when they give it to their children for diabetes, autism. Oh, by the way, nicotine has been proven to help reverse and improve every single blood marker and blood sugar marker in every type 1 diabetic. So when parents decide to try the nicotine stuff with their kids, pediatricians, upon evaluating their kids on their wellness checks, are noticing vast improvements in their children that are their patients. And they will ask the mom or dad, what are you doing differently since the last time I saw them that's making all these changes? And they will often tell them, I'm using nicotine patches with my kid. I cannot tell you. I've had dozens. I just said it, dozens of people. Attorneys reach out to me who are representing parents whose children were being threatened to be taken away from them in their state by cps because the pediatrician called CPS on the mom or dad for putting nicotine patches on their children. Even though the pediatricians in their file reported all improvements and everything they were seeing that kid for, they still called CPS on them. And the attorneys who were trying to keep the children with their parents were having to reach out to me to get all the research to be able to give to the to the courts. And I find this utterly disgusting. Especially now after I just laid out for all of you that every person in America, regardless of age who's eating french fries and ketchup is eating nicotine all day long. So why isn't there a warning label on your french fries or on your potato chips from Frito Lay? Why isn't there a warning label on potato chips that says warning? These potato chips contain a high amount of nicotine, a highly addictive chemical. Why don't they do that? Why doesn't Heinz ketchup come with a Ketchup is made from tomatoes, a high nicotine containing plant. Why don't they do that? You might want to ask yourself or the fda, the Food and Drug Administration why they don't tell you about those foods containing nicotine and why are they allowed to continue market and selling those foods to the public? Anyway, these are some of the things that I've seen. Been very exciting to watch. It's been humbling to watch so many people's lives be transformed. As my wife's life was transformed. It was a miracle. I've never had a Covid symptom in my life. I've never been sick once in the last four years of wearing a nicotine patch. I will wear one every day the rest of my life. I started it earlier, but I will tell you I have actually researched every flu virus family of variants called clades. There's 29 different flu viruses. There's multiple adenoviruses called common cold viruses and coronaviruses. There's viruses such as rabies, viruses such as hiv. I just want to. I'll just say this to all of you. Did you know that every virus I just named is known to be cured by nicotine? I said HIV and rabies. I also said all coronaviruses. I also said every flu virus. The reason why big pharma hates nicotine and needs it absolved from all access for all citizens of every country around the world is nicotine and the tobacco plant stand in the way of their viral vaccine agendas. And since the cat was let out of the bag in the middle of their largest psyop ever for the whole globe, healthcare wise, there's a virus from a bat that coughed in China making the whole world sick. Since that lie unfolded with COVID 19 and they were trying to scare all of you into a COVID 19 vaccine, new technology. This retired chiropractor came out and told all of you what scientists around the world had already discovered. Five different countries all did DNA analysis and confirmed that all the spike proteins of COVID were identical to not 2, but 36 combined animal venom proteins, of which most of them bind to nicotine receptors and nicotine prevents all of them. So I wear a nicotine patch every day and I will for life. Do you want to know why? Because I don't want to get the flu ever. I've had it once in my life and it sucked for like seven days. I hated it. I don't want the flu, I don't want the common cold. I don't want hiv. I don't want rabies, I don't want smallpox, I don't want chickenpox, I don't want herpes. And yes, I just named a whole bunch of stuff. Tetanus, yellow fever. All known to be cured by nicotine. So all of these have vaccines. Vaccines are the fifth generating revenue product for big pharma worldwide every year. Vaccines are the majority of vaccines are for viruses. Well, if nicotine and tobacco have been known for 500 years, I said it 500 years since 1492. I can show you medical textbooks since 1492. And no, tobacco and nicotine cure all these diseases. I just named.
- [51:32]
A
Amazing. All right, I want you to tell this story because this blew me away about how there was a hearing where they brought the. And you can correct me, I'm. I'm not getting the fact straight. That's why I'm going to have you tell it. The heads of various 1994. Right. All under oath. Is nicotine addictive? Is nicotine addictive?
- [51:51]
B
And yeah, so I, I actually created a entire PowerPoint and a podcast. You can go to the Dr. Artist show and watch it or download just the PowerPoint. It's 387 slides, three and a half hours. I recorded it the very first part of it, the very first slide. I show you a video from the University of California at San Francisco from their website. They show a video in the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C. in April of 1994. Our United States Congress asked the seven CEOs of the largest tobacco manufacturers in America to come into Washington D.C. 's Capitol building and answer one question. Under oath, April of 1994. And the senator. This is a 25 second clip, by the way. If you don't have 25 seconds in your day, you need to free up your schedule. 25 seconds for this video. The senator looks at all seven of them and says, thank you all for coming in here under threat of perjury. We need you to answer this Question, State your name and answer. Is nicotine addictive? Under threat of perjury, all seven of them state their name and say out loud, nicotine is not addictive. Next one. Nicotine is not addictive. Nicotine is not addictive. All seven of them. The four months later. So they let them all go home. Four months later, the FDA actually writes, even though we asked the experts, we have created our own panel of experts on tobacco and nicotine, and we have decided to make a declaration and we're going to place a warning label on every tobacco product ever made ever again that nicotine is addictive. And so that's why the warning labels in August of 1994 that you've ever seen on billboards, radios, you've constantly seen this one published lie 247 that nicotine is a highly addictive substance. It is not. It's a highly problematic nutrient for the pharmaceutical industry, which is the largest money provider and payer to the FDA every single year. Year. Do you really think farms that grow food for America, you think farmers are paying out billions of dollars in fines and fees to get their apricots or their apples approved by the fda? No. There's only an FDA approval process for drugs and they all have to pay a hefty fine for review. Hefty fees for review. And they also have a $10 million fee. The FDA started in the 90s. They told all pharmaceutical companies, if you believe you've created a product and you don't want us to review it, but you think it's life saving, we'll let you pay us $10 million up front. We won't even review your drug and you can go ahead and take it to market. Okay, well, every drug company knows, on average they can make $7 billion on every new drug within seven years. And they know the average time for independent labs to discover the toxic side effects of their drugs that the FDA is now overlooking. For a fee of $10 million, they know they can make $7 billion on average for every new drug before an independent lab confirms it's toxic and unsafe. That's the game. That's the racket you live in right now. This is why you see drugs like Vioxx being taken off the market, why you see drugs that are now being promoted as causing mesothelioma. I mean, you'll see it all over the place. There's drugs that do this, and that's because they just paid the FDA a bribe to let them take anything to market without review.
- [55:09]
A
Well, let me pick your brain on this. I know this is totally sidestepping the nicotine, but it's. It's relevant to the here and now. The FDA just released on August 6th that they are intending to ban NDT medications in the next year and change everyone over to Synthroid and. And Lyonine or Cytomel because of, let's see, what did they use? Inconsistencies in batches, possible viral contamination from animal based derived protein products. And although two manufacturers of NDT products are currently going through the FDA approval process, there's no way they'll have it done in a year. It'll take at least two to five years to go through that process. So in it with what you know, because I've been racking my brain this last week trying to think, what is the motive here? What is the motive for removing natural desiccated thyroid medication? Does this open the door to a new president, that the FDA can now come in and just start pulling bioidentical hormones, just start pulling whatever medication where we already started saw with Ivermectin, the one thing that actually could come in and help cure Covid. Nope, that's not allowed. So what is the motive here of the FDA and NDT medications?
- [56:23]
B
Yeah, so number one, you've heard the old adage, you just follow the money. I'm really sorry, but in this case, you have to. All right, so the decisions are being made at a federal level. All right, so who works at the federal level? Your elected officials and your assigned individuals. All right, great. All right, so these are your federal employees, your elected officials. What is per the numbers from 2024, what is the largest lobbying industry in the federal government of the United States? What industry gives more bribe dollars to federal agency personnel and elected officials than any other industry in the whole world?
- [57:00]
A
Pharmaceutical.
- [57:01]
B
The pharmaceutical industry. Do you know how much last year in 2024? Because I do. It's $295 million was given as bribe money to people working in Washington, D.C. on behalf of big Pharma. Okay, great. So let's follow the money here. Ready? All right, so why would they be taking these bioidentical hormones away for these other ones, right? The or these desiccated thyroid drugs, why would they take that away in favor of levothyroxine, Synthroid and other drugs? Why would they do synthetic versions? Well, y' all are about to find out. Because me and another doc, an internist out of Florida named Dr. Deb Viglione, she just sent me yesterday statistics from the most recent research studies on levothyroxine which is what they're going to make sure is the only thing available to you, which is the generic form of Synthroid. Do you know it's published to increase your risk of developing cancer?
- [57:47]
A
Yeah.
- [57:48]
B
And you know in the most recent research studies they confirmed it increases by a massive percentage how much cancer that person will develop. What is the largest money making disease for all diseases? For the biggest pharma, pharmaceutical medical complex, Huge cancer. There's nothing bigger than cancer.
- [58:05]
A
Nothing.
- [58:06]
B
Nothing. In fact, the number one revenueing drug for the entire world for the pharmaceutical industry last year is a drug called Keytruda. Do you know who makes Keytruda? Merck does. Do you know how much money they made in 12 months last year for cancer? $30 billion on that one drug for cancer, Keytruda. Do you know what the second highest revenueing drug in the whole world over by pharmaceutical drugs companies was last year? Ozempic. And that was only 16 billion. Almost half of what the number one drug does. So yes, the number one revenueing industry for sales of drugs is the cancer drug industry. So when you are saying we are going to abolish desiccated thyroid gland extracts as an alternative for treatment for thyroid conditions in favor of synthetic drugs that are now known and published to cause cancer and a higher percentage of people, who wins if we ban desiccated thyroid hormone and introduce and make it only allowed to have synthetic versions, who profits the most? It's no different than the claim by RFK Jr. A couple weeks ago. One of the most dumbass things I've ever heard him say ever out of his mouth. One of the largest campaigns ever we're going to launch by the HHS in its history is every American, regardless of age, will be wearing a medical device. 100 of them in America in the next four years. Really? Okay, let me just ask you something. If you're wearing a device that tracks your heart rhythm, bowel movement, sleep patterns, hormone balances, hormone fluctuations, who profits the most from a device telling you your biometrics are shifting abnormally? Do you think it's going to be Google or Apple? Do you think when the alert goes off that your blood pressure has skyrocketed? Do you think they're telling you to go to the Apple Genius bar at the mall? No. Where are you going to be going? Big tech is not the one going to be profiting the most. It's the pharmaceutical industries. Every alert button that goes off is going to be sending you to the ER to a medical doctor to get a prescription for A drug to change that issue. This is. I've said it before, but RFK Jr is being groomed like sexual predators groom their predators or their victims. He's being groomed by big tech and big pharma, and y' all need to be careful. So, rfk, you've been warned. The only people that profit from this is big pharma. Everybody out there who thinks this is a part of the Make America Healthy Again movement, it doesn't. All it does is make the pharmaceutical industry more profitable.
- [60:26]
A
Well, we will wrap it up and, you know, I'd like to bring you back for a part two, so I'll be in touch with about that because we got to go deeper.
- [60:32]
B
We do one more thing. There's three things that the thyroid needs in order to make thyroid hormones. T3, T4 included. There's only three. They're nutrients found in food and soil. Selenium, iodine and tyrosine.
- [60:42]
A
Right.
- [60:43]
B
Selenium.
- [60:43]
A
Right.
- [60:44]
B
Iodine and tyrosine. And amino acid. If you have adequate levels of those in your bloodstream and in your diet, you're going to make enough thyroid hormones. You don't need synthetic nothing. You don't need desiccated nothing. I actually. My wife, I met her 15 years ago. She was on Synthroid and high blood pressure drugs. She hasn't been on a single one of those drugs in 15 years. It only took her two months to supplement the things she was deficient in. Her cardiologist and endocrinologist took her off those drugs. She's never needed them again for 15 years.
- [61:09]
A
Yep. And slap on a nicotine patch to help your immune system.
- [61:12]
B
Oh, nicotine. To improve brain function in hypothyroid patients. Go figure.
- [61:18]
A
Amazing. Amazing. All right, I'll let you go. You need to do your thing, but you are coming back on because we need to go deeper. We need to go deeper.
- [61:24]
