The maximum amount of deaths every year occurs within a month after the shortest day of the year. A myriad of different diseases are affected by the sun. Deaths are correlated to the amount of sunlight Dr. Roger Seheult: "So the question goes back to the first question that you had at the very beginning of the podcast, which is, 'What is the effect of low energy output from the mitochondria?' Well, it depends on what tissue the mitochondria is in. And so, if it's in the eye, then it's going to be better visual perception. If it's in the brain, it's dementia. You see what I'm saying? So, what we start to see is we start to see that a myriad of different diseases are affected by the sun. I challenge anyone to do this. "If you look at a publication in the United States, I've seen it where they map out the amount of deaths in a calendar day: cardiac disease, respiratory disease, kidney disease, pneumonia, all sorts of diseases, infectious diseases, non-infectious diseases, you will see a very clear pattern. The maximum amount of deaths every year occurs within a month after the shortest day of the year. So we're talking December, January. We see the most amount of influenza deaths at that time. We see the most amount of cardiac deaths at that time. We see the most amount of kidney deaths at that time. "So you might ask, 'Well, that's because that's because people get together at Christmas time and they spread the germs around more, and we have Thanksgiving in late November here in the United States, and that's what's going on.' The problem is if you look at Australia, which is on the other end. So when is their longest day of the year? Their longest day of the year is in December, and that's when they have the least amount of deaths, despite the fact that they're all getting together for Christmas in December. So that doesn't fly. It's exactly the opposite. The most amount of deaths occur in Australia, in the southern hemisphere, in June to July. That's their winter. And so what you see is deaths are correlated to the length of the day. This is the reason why whenever they show you deaths in the year, they always have to seasonally adjust it." Steven Bartlett: "And the length of the day is a proxy for the amount of sunlight." Dr. Roger Seheult: "Absolutely. You're much more likely to get sunlight on the longest day of the year than the shortest day of the year, especially when, and this is well known, there are some months, especially in people who are doing shift work, like 07:00 ᴀᴍ to 7:00 ᴘᴍ, there's literally like December and January, you will not see the sun because you are going off to work before the sun gets up and you're coming home after the sun is long set. So you're not able to see the sun, and so you could go literally weeks without seeing the sun at all." Dr. Roger Seheult with Steven Bartlett @ 01:06:26–01:09:10 (posted 2025-07-17)

Mitochondria makes melatonin, a powerful antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress. Infrared light from the sun is able to penetrate up to about 8 cm, stimulating and upregulating melatonin, thereby improving the energy output of mitochondria Dr. Roger Seheult: "So there was a paper that came out in 2019 that fundamentally changed the way I saw this. It was written by Russel Reiter, who is the executive editor of _Melatonin Research_, he's out of University of Texas, and Scott Zimmerman, who's a light engineer. And what they set forth was to show that basically sunlight is made up of so many different types of wavelengths. You've got ultraviolet on one end, which of course makes vitamin D, and it's very beneficial. It's the type of light from the sun that is very shortwave and cannot penetrate very deeply. […] "But at the other end there's this infrared light, which we'll talk about, or red light. It's very long wavelength and it can penetrate very, very deeply. […] That's exactly what this paper showed is that basically infrared light from the sun is able to penetrate probably up to about 8 cm, according to Scott Zimmerman in this article, and it fundamentally interacts with, specifically, the mitochondria. And what does it do to the mitochondria? "So let's back up and talk about the mitochondria because this is central. The mitochondria to the cell is like the engine in your car. The engine produces locomotion that causes the wheels to spin. But in the process of doing it, it causes heat to surround the engine. And if you don't deal with that heat, it will shut down the engine. It will make it more inefficient and eventually it will shut it down. So what do all internal combustion engines have? They have a cooling system, they have a radiator, they have an oil pan, they have a water pump. "And that's exactly what the cell has to have for the mitochondria. It's not heat in the mitochondria; it's called oxidative stress. And it's specifically oxidative stress that causes destruction of the mitochondria and leads to these types of diseases. So oxidative stress causes the mitochondria not to work well, this leads to diabetes. Oxidative stress makes the mitochondria not work so well, this leads to dementia. So this has already been laid out. This is not that controversial. The controversial part is what do we do about it? "So what these guys in this paper showed was that, and not just them but reviewing the literature, is that the mitochondria makes its own cooling system, and that cooling system is melatonin. Now you might be thinking, 'Wait a minute, melatonin, isn't that the isn't that the stuff that we take that our brain makes right before we go to sleep?' Yeah. It's absolutely correct. That's what happens. The problem is that this is not melatonin that's made in the brain. This is not melatonin that […] goes through our blood and tells us it's time to go to sleep. This is melatonin that's made in the cell, in the mitochondria, and it's a powerful antioxidant that basically prevents the oxidative stress from occurring. "What Scott Zimmerman and Russel Reiter showed, and proposed in this, was that basically the infrared radiation that's coming into the body is able to stimulate and upregulate melatonin and a number of other factors that keep the mitochondria cool, and can actually improve the energy output of the mitochondria. This was actually mind-blowing to me." Dr. Roger Seheult with Steven Bartlett @ 23:15–27:27 (posted 2025-07-17)

If you take three mRNA boosters, pretty good chance you ain't going to work, ever. Who's speaking for the child? More injury and death in US from mRNA injections than all wars in 20th & 21st century combined. Colombian drug cartel gave better advice than Fauci, et al. The data is being suppressed Dr. Jack Kruse: "What we're talking about right now is time inflation in biology. We are killing people. We're harming them. If you are a nurse and took this jab and you can't go to work, that means you can't make any money to support your family. That is time theft. OK? Not only that, it's also wealth theft. […] And it's the number one thing. If you eat a case of fucking Froot Loops right now you can still go to work. But if you take three boosters of mRNA, pretty good fucking chance you ain't going to work, ever. That's the key that people don't understand. […] Like this is the elephant in the room. This needs to be dealt with yesterday, not tomorrow, yesterday. Why? Because we're actively subtracting time from people's bank accounts. "And it's happening to the most vulnerable people that don't have a voice. Like we always hear the story about no taxation without representation. Isn't that the same thing when you give a child three jabs at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months? Who's speaking for the child? Nobody! The pediatricians are lining up to get their vaccine checks. […] What good is it, Marty, if our kids are all developmentally delayed, neurologically damaged, can't think? […] Marty Bent: "[…] I know better than to let them do it, but how many parents out there […] just sort of going with the flow, trusting the doctors. This whole pay-to-play on the vaccine side of things is incredibly insidious and seems like an obvious conflict of interest that should be addressed." Dr. Jack Kruse: "I think Mary [Talley Bowden] has done a beautiful job with that through her own Substack. She's been a firecracker. […] Like everybody would be furious if we went into Iran and, you know, 300,000 or 400,000 kids came back dead. Right now the low end of that number is about 500,000 in the United States, up to 17 million (that's globally). So realize what we're saying: more people have been taken out from this jab in the United States than all the wars in the 20th and 21st century combined, and nobody's upset with that. In fact, I said on a couple of podcasts, it sounded hyperbolic but I mean it literally and figuratively, that if you listen to the advice of the Colombian drug cartel versus what Fauci, et al., 'The Science' said, you would get better advice from the Colombian drug cartel. Why? The number of deaths from cocaine, fentanyl, and drug overdose was less than it was during the covid times. How do you like that? […] Marty Bent: "Yeah. And I think there's a ton of people out there who may have their doubts, but they're a bit apprehensive to make the jump to fully like, 'I'm on board with this,' because they obscure the data. Right? […] Ed Dowd, […] he's jumped into the data, whether it's disabilities, life insurance claims, life expectancy, excess deaths. And the data is there, but they do a good job of saying, 'It wasn't the jab; it was covid.' […] Kevin McKernan […] talked about […] the preprint out of Japan that showed that the types of cancers that emerged post 2021, when the jab rolled out, completely changed, and they changed to areas of the body where the mRNA vaccine was congregating. And then they ripped that preprint out, and so it's like, 'Oh, they're telling you that's fake news.' But the data is there."

Serendipitous conversation at a bar in Bregenz in 2008 leads to discovery of how NO is made in skin from UV. Seasonal variations in blood pressure due to UV on skin Professor Richard Weller: "[…] But problem solving those experiments, we showed that the skin contains large stores of nitrogen oxides: nitrate, nitrite, nitrosophiles. And at the time, I did not know what that meant. It was thought that nitrate was an inert end product of nitric oxide oxidation. It was thought it did nothing and was peed out. But I found all this stuff in the skin for no obvious cause. I sent it off to the JIT, which was the top dermatology journal. I sent the usual cover letter, 'Groundbreaking science. You're so lucky to get this. Brilliant stuff. You should really take it,' whilst thinking to myself, 'I don't know what this means. I have no idea. I think this is rather odd.' Anyway, they accepted the paper, much to my surprise, because I wouldn't have done so. It's actually turned out to be a really important paper. […] "So what Martin showed, in this methods paper that nobody read, was that when you shine UV at nitrate in the presence of thiols, SH groups, you get a photochemical reduction of nitrate to nitrite. […] "[At the] NO group […] meeting in 2008 […] in Bregenz […] at the bar after a day of science, I was saying to Martin and my friends around the table, 'I've discovered these huge nitrate stores in the skin. I have no idea what it means. I've managed to publish it. Can't understand why. What does it mean?' And Martin said, 'I've written this paper three years ago that nobody has read. We showed that UV releases NO from nitrate in the presence of thiols.' And I went, 'Oh my God, UV hits the skin, the skin's got lots of thiols, you know, it's got all these keratins containing thiols in the skin. And it's got lots of nitrate. You've got the three ingredients that make NO.' And talking over the bar, I could remember from medical school days that in sunny times of year, blood pressure is lower. Could this account for those seasonal variations in blood pressure? […] "So we quickly published this hypothesis paper in the European Heart Journal saying we think this might be happening. We think that sunlight hits the skin, we think that it photoreleases these nitric oxide stores to the circulation, which lowers blood pressure. And we then set out to try and confirm it."

UV in sunlight hits the skin, releases NO, which moves into circulation, which dilates arteries, which lowers blood pressure, so you don't get a heart attack or stroke, and you live longer. Dermatologists don't care Professor Richard Weller: "We then shone UV at the arm. And we either shone UV at the arm so rays hit it, or we shone UV at the arm but it was covered with a foil blanket so the temperature rises but UV doesn't hit the skin. And what we showed was that when you irradiate the forearm it causes vasodilation. So ultraviolet in man is an arterial vasodilator, and the sham arm there was no vasodilation. So UV in man is a direct vasodilator. "Blood pressure is a function of total peripheral resistance and cardiac output. So you multiply what the heart cardiac output is by the peripheral resistance (and the more constricted vessels are the greater the resistance), and the function of those two gives you blood pressure. So we then stood people in UV cabinets or we lay people under full-length UV lamps, and we showed that shining UV at people lowers blood pressure. The sham irradiation, covered with the foil blanket so that the temperature goes up and not the rays, there's a fall in blood pressure while the lamps are on because you get warm. But as soon as the lamps are off, the sham irradiation returns to normal, but the actively irradiated stays down. "And then you have a rise in circulating nitric oxide in the irradiated group and a fall in nitrate. So sunlight hits the skin, releases NO, which moves into the circulation, which dilates arteries, which lowers blood pressure, so you don't get a heart attack or stroke, and you live longer. That's great. "So that was super. Of absolutely zero interest to dermatologists. Not interested at all. Couldn't be. They really don't care." Professor Richard Weller @ 32:01–34:06 (posted 2025-10-11)
