[00:00:00] Latest and greatest In Ian Clark’s world on staying healthy: Uncovering the True Causes of Chronic Health Issues and Longevity

Ryan Sternagel: Ian, the traditional first question for you as folks are logging on; You’re not allowed to use iodine in your answer: This is a chronic condition-focused audience, healing, preventing, and so on. You know a lot about chronic conditions and staying healthy. You’re one of the most well-rounded guys I know in that arena. What’s on your mind these days? What are you geeking out on? What are you thinking about? It could be a new way of looking at being healthy, or a particular product, therapy, routine, or whatever. What comes to mind?

Ian Clark: Some very profound understandings have developed over the last 20 years, especially in the last one year. It was an accumulative understanding of what is going on with our health and why it’s such an issue. Why is it that mainstream people who are not health-conscious live to an average of 75 to 77 years old? And then, why do health-conscious people who are mindful, meditate, exercise, eat clean, treat people with respect, and treat themselves with respect still have an average age of around 81 years old? People are departing around 81 in the health-conscious community. When I found out those numbers, I was very shocked. That’s not great, something’s up, what are we missing? I started to think about all the things that we know—very common things in the health-conscious world, yet all of us are expiring at that timeframe.

For about 15 years, I knew that I didn’t know what I didn’t know, but I was open to learning the truth about what was causing this departure time, regardless. In fact, some of the most advanced health people I know—one of them just recently died in October 2022, at 70 years old, three months after being diagnosed with aggressive leukemia. His name is David Getoff, he lived down in San Diego. This was just more and more confirmation of what is going on. We are missing the biggest point. It doesn’t do any good for me to tell you that we’re missing the point if I don’t know the point.

Also, if I know what’s killing us, what the real issue is, and I don’t know how to solve that problem and get rid of it, then I’m also not bringing any value. Fortunately, today, I not only have found out what is killing us but also exactly what to do about it and how to deal with it; It’s simple. That’s what’s been on my mind predominantly, and that is what is going to continue to be on my mind for a very long time until enough people start to learn about this and share this information.

Ryan Sternagel: Are you teasing the “what to do” for a future time, or when you…

Ian Clark: Get everybody on the edge of their seat? It’s okay, tell me. No, this is no tease. We’re going to talk about that today.

Ryan Sternagel: Or you could be like my great-grandparents, who smoked a pack a day since they were 11, lived in their trailer, and it was a hotbox of cigarette smoke in there. They sat in their Lazy Boys, ate TV dinners, and every time you came over, it just happened to be happy hour. They lived into their mid-nineties.

[00:03:58] Thoughts on Enhancing Quality of Life and Health as You Age

Ian Clark: That’s right. Mid-nineties is very young. If you Google (this is not longevity, by the way, because longevity is not the definitive word) the longest-living people on earth right now, just take a look at what they look like; They look horrific. They are shriveled up, dead on wheels; It is no fun whatsoever. They’re not having a good time. They’ve lived 117 or 127 years, whatever those numbers are, it’s not cool. This is not what we’re talking about today; No one wants that kind of longevity.

The topic today is about how you bring your quality of life today up to the maximum that you’ve had so far, and then tomorrow it gets better. The day after, it gets better. How do you get to that point where you’re getting better and stronger, wiser, more mobile, more flexible, more powerful, smarter, more intelligent, wiser every day you get older? Older doesn’t mean aging; older means getting better, or older means getting worse. You’re going to do one or the other. When you get worse, you end up like the oldest living people—if you live long enough, which, who wants that? When you are getting better, I am exponentially healthier than I was 10 years ago today, and I just turned 65. This is because I’ve been given access to the understanding, the simplicity of what this is all about, which is all about sharing that with people and understanding what the raw materials your body has to have to function at its highest level and get better every day.

What is the mindset? What is the actual physical protocol? Because in the physical world, seeing is believing. I can give you theories, I could give you my ideas, I could become a guru, become an expert, but it doesn’t help. This is not about me, this is about you and everyone who’s listening; It’s all about you guys. It’s all about me having learned what the truth is, and then just sharing it with you so that you then can be set free from having to be a health nut, which we’re not interested in being health nuts; Who wants to do that? I don’t want to be radical, I just want to be getting better every day. When you do that, you just keep living. It’s not about how long—you just get better every day. Who knows how long that can go? It could go for hundreds of years, but that seems ridiculous because nobody has done that yet.

But what if that were possible? What if you could get better as you get older, become more valuable, and have more enthusiasm for life and more passion for the things that are true and workable? Would you like to continue doing that? I believe everyone’s answer would be yes because mine certainly is yes. I’m more passionate by 10x than I was 10 years ago. 10 years from now, it’s going to be 10x again. We’ll see. Maybe you max out on your enthusiasm when you get to a certain level, and then you’re good. That’s the way it could be. That’s what I’m seeing physically because seeing is believing. I can’t just tell you, “Oh, I’m the healthiest 65-year-old on earth.” I have to be able to prove it to you and show you physical evidence of that.

[00:07:33] The Power of Cellular and Structural Health: Reversing Aging and Opting Out of the “Death Culture

Ian Clark: There are two major components to our health that you can think of as the big rocks. Number one is biological health at a cellular level. How well are your organs functioning? Are you measuring at a 20-year-old, 25-year-old, 35-year-old, or a 70-year-old? Then there’s the structural health. Because your structural being is how you’re mobile. What if your hips are wearing out? What if your knees wear out? What if your shoulders wear out? Is shoulder, hip, and knee replacement the way to go? Absolutely not. Because if you do that, you only have one or maybe two times you can do that before you can’t do that anymore. Replacement with mechanical or medical solutions is not the answer; There have to be different answers. Yet, I can’t stand here and tell you that my first 20 years of working were injury-free, I was injured significantly. I worked in the oil field and had both of my knees damaged—one very damaged. Both of my shoulders were damaged to the extent that I couldn’t water ski or snow ski since I was 21 years old because if I had any torsional twisting of my knee at all, it would blow up like a basketball and hurt for a week; Plus, my knees were painful, so I was prevented from doing the things I love the most—skiing on water or snow. That was a drag.

At 60 years old, I found out how to repair that completely, with no cost involved. I physically repaired my knees completely so that I can do whatever I want with them now, like a 25-year-old person who’s never been injured. The same goes for my shoulders. These are undeniable things, and I can show you pictures of how they were healed, what it looked like when they were healed, and now I can perform at the levels I could when I was 25 without injuries. I haven’t been able to do that since I was 21.

These are the big aspects, and what happens when you see people age is they start to shrivel up, they get tired, they run out of energy, their body fills with pain, and then they want to die at 80, 90, 100 years old—whatever it is. That’s the normal paradigm; I call that the death culture. What I have opted out of is that death culture, which is a mentality as well as a physical reality. When you shift the mentality and you learn how to shift the physical, then you’re opting into the living culture—the staying alive culture, and enjoying life and having a higher quality of life tomorrow than you have today. Then the day after, continuing on that trajectory up. I think everyone would love that, and we can now deliver it. That’s what Activation is all about. I chose the name Activation back in 2010 because I saw people learning a little bit of what I learned at that time, and they would take action to do things that were making their lives even higher quality. I call it getting activated. That term just popped into my mind. “Oh, let’s just call it Activation Products,” because we manufacture the definitive raw materials that the body needs to function at its highest level, to be fueled and detoxed. That’s the foundation for where we’re coming from.

Ryan Sternagel: With that great hair and beard, you’re certainly starting to look like a guru, Ian.

Ian Clark: I don’t want to be a guru. Sage, maybe. But a sage is not looked up to—a sage is simply heard. Then, I give you the keys. You become a sage.

[00:11:20] The Hidden Dangers of Airborne Particulates: How Breathing Affects Longevity and Health

Ryan Sternagel: You talked about the physical necessities, and you talked about the mental necessities. We certainly hear a lot about the power of positive thinking and meditation and so on. We hear about giving the body what it needs and taking care of the physical; That’s the stuff that the regular health people are talking about day in and day out. I guess dying at an average of 81 like you said—what’s different about what you’re talking about here?

Ian Clark: We’re going to dial it back to some mathematical numbers that everyone can relate to and get your head around. For some weird reason, I think of these things. I don’t take credit for thinking of them. Oftentimes, when I wake up in the morning, in that quasi-zone between sleeping and awake, I’ll lay there and just think about stuff. It’s always logical things that make me wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that before?” But I realize it’s not my thinking; it’s an absorption of information that comes to a summary.

Let’s take a look at our physical activity. You mentioned thinking. We do think—with our physical brain, our heart brain, and our gut brain. We have quadrillions of thoughts every millisecond that are either automated in the background, in our subconscious or unconscious, or in our conscious minds. We know that we have a very large amount of thinking, and our conscious thinking is often programmed through our subconscious; That’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with being programmed as long as you have the right program and the truth involved in the reality of thinking. I don’t go to positive or negative thinking, I go more to realistic thinking.

Then let’s go into the physical activity beyond thinking. What’s the one thing you do more than anything? You breathe around 11,000 liters of air per day—a liter is equivalent to a quart, approximately. If you do 11,000 times 365 and then multiply that by the number of years you’ve been alive, that’s the number of liters; It’s hundreds of millions of liters of air. The air has essential nutrients—oxygen, and nitrogen, it has particulate matter, some of those are nutritious, and most of them are harmful because the world we live in now has a massive amount of particulate matter in the air, and it’s in the microscopic realm, which you can’t see with your naked eye, or in the nanoscopic realm, which is a thousand times smaller than micro—nanoparticles and Pico particles, which are a thousand times smaller than nano.

We know that those particles exist because we don’t see evidence of any rubber tire dust on the road. We know that there are 10 billion pounds of rubber dust released into the atmosphere of the United States every year—just in that one country alone; That’s a lot. It’s all in the form of nano razor blades, as I call them because under a nanoscope, they look like tiny razor blades made of rubber, plastic, cotton, epoxies, resins, metals, chemicals, and various industrial substances. Then you have brake dust—same thing. This stuff is so small that it floats a mile and a half above all the highways. It’s not sitting on the ground anywhere; it’s carried by trade winds over everything we eat, over all the lakes and mountains, everywhere; We’re breathing it today. That’s only two nanoparticles that we know of among the thousands we’re mentioning right now.

Another interesting fact is that in the last 25 years, we went from 30% of bodies being cremated, which were otherwise buried, to 80% of the human bodies that die in North America now being cremated. The cremation is done in the neighborhoods of all of our cities: The funeral homes and the crematoriums—just Google map it and you’ll see where they are. You’re breathing the off-gassing of a human body that has died from all of the particulate matter it accumulated. Now we’re breathing a massive amount of that off-gassing from the stacks of the crematoriums. That’s another one, and that’s just three. There are thousands of these particles.

Why are people’s hips, shoulders, and knees wearing out? Because they have abrasives in their bodies; That’s the only reason they’re wearing out. There is no other reason—because people don’t know how to remove them. We’re learning about how to remove them. You can’t stop breathing, and you can’t move out of the city easily. You can’t go and live on top of a mountain, you’re still going to get nano particulates anyway. Even people who go live up in the mountains in pristine places still die at around 80, or 90 years old. Go to the blue zones; they might make it over 100, but it’s still not a long time. These are the things that we need to start thinking about.

That’s the second thing we do—we breathe 11,000 liters of air a day. Interestingly (this is such wild numbers), we only have 5 to 5.5 liters of blood in our entire body, yet we pump 7,600 liters of blood through 10,000 kilometers of cardiovascular vessels—arteries, veins, and capillaries—every single day; It’s phenomenal. We take that five and a half liters of blood and pump it to the equivalent of 7,600 liters.  The reason we have to do that is because blood has to carry the oxygen and the nutrients from our food as fuel to every single cell in our body. Also, that blood has to pick up all the waste material and transport it back out, which gets filtered through the liver and kidneys; You also breathe a lot of it back out. You’ve got to create a very efficient system, but it’s not efficient.

If you look at a 20-year-old right now (this is a medical reality), if you measure the kidney function of a 20-year-old person, they have what is called 100% kidney function. Add 40 years to their life—at 60, they now have 35% kidney function. It’s the same with cardiovascular health; If you step onto an elliptical machine at the gym, you’ll see a chart: when you’re in your twenties, this is how high your heart rate can safely go. When you’re in your sixties, it’s much lower, down to around 120, whereas when you’re 20, you can go up to 160, Why is that? Because your arteries are hardened. When you have hardened arteries, that’s a massive problem. You are now limited because you’ve been breathing this particulate matter for 40 years. You’ve been breathing these nano razor blades, and you’ve filled the walls of your arteries, veins, and capillaries with these razor blades that made them hard and stiff. Therefore, you have what’s called hypertension. This can be fixed, but it’s much better to start fixing it when you’re 20 and prevent it from ever happening, which we can talk about today.

These are the things that are guaranteeing people’s death, it’s not the food you eat. Of course, the food is going to exacerbate the problem. If you’re eating GMOs and toxic crap, that’s not good, but it’s what you’re breathing that guarantees your demise; Regardless of how health-conscious you are in other areas, if you don’t know how to deal with this problem. This is the important message for me, for you, for all of us: How do we deal with this? How do we compensate fully for this issue? Then we can have 100% kidney function at 60 years old, 70, 80, 90—none of this 35, 25, 15, dead thing. The younger the person is, the better off they are and the sooner they can get back to where they should be. The older they are, the longer it takes. Fortunately, I found out that even at 64 years old, when I found out the real truth about this—which was one year ago—within a very short time, I was able to alleviate a large portion of that accumulated nanoparticulate matter that was in my system, with evidence to prove it. That’s the good news.

[00:19:54] The Impact of Advanced Health Protocols on Reversing Aging

Ryan Sternagel: We were just talking maybe about a month ago, and you were telling me about how you got all those measurements done—measuring your biological age and all that stuff. Do you want to tell us about that?

Ian Clark: There are different levels of sophisticated equipment out there that can measure your body, either accurately or semi-accurately. I’ve seen and purchased many of these different types of biological measuring devices—biofeedback—and I found that most of them are at best 85% accurate. A lot of the time, they’ll say you’re good when you’re not, and they’ll say you’re bad when you’re good in different areas, which is weird. But a lot of practitioners use these to try to validate the things they’re diagnosing for their patients from a natural cause standpoint in order to prescribe whatever supplementation or protocols they might endeavor.

I ran into one that was pretty much consistently showing everybody was not good. This is a technology that’s been around for about 15 years; It came out of Russia. It is currently being converted through a very large budget into becoming a wearable. But right now, you just have to hook it up to your body, and it measures within about 600 heartbeats, your whole body. The guy who does the testing was always excited for everybody because he wanted to show how much improvement they needed. My score came in at the top level across the board, except for one area, which was in the reproductive area—it was down about 35%; All the rest were in the high nineties and mid-nineties.

Then, on the biological age, the biggest spread that he had ever seen with anybody—the highest levels of health was around 20 to 22 years. I came in exactly 30 years younger than my chronological age with my biological age. At that time, I was still only midway through doing the protocols that I knew were rapidly reverse-aging my body. He said, “Okay, I don’t know. It’s like the craziest scores I’ve ever seen. Whatever you’re doing is very cool.” That’s fine. It’s nothing to brag about; it’s just something to be happy about because I had been exercising the things that we’ll talk about today on an ongoing basis for the year leading up to this. Of course, I’ve done many other things, but those many other things were very similar to what everybody was doing anyway. That wasn’t exciting, but this new thing was quite exciting. Now we know how to measure things much more accurately because you can’t truly manage or understand the direction you’re going unless you are measuring physically. But by far the biggest measurement is you personally—when you can see the glow that comes into your body, it’s a youthful glow that comes back, your brain power goes way up, your mobility, your fluidity in your body, the smooth operation of joints. I’m jumping around like a kid now, things I could not do 10 years ago are all back. That’s a remarkable shift. Then the digestive system gets completely optimized in a very short period; The circulation comes online like never before. Those are the real measurements.

[00:23:25] Reprogramming Health: The Role of Internal Communication and Cellular Cleanliness in Aging

Ryan Sternagel: You talked about protocols, I think you got everyone on the edge of their seat. I don’t know where you want to go from here. I told everybody that Ian drops a lot of pearls, that it’s not just going to be about iodine, and here we go. You talked about the mental state—your subconscious programming your conscious. but from my understanding, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but like you said, you have to have the right subconscious; The subconscious needs to be correct in the way it’s programming the conscious. At least, what I hear is that you reverse it—you do conscious things to program your subconscious, and then your subconscious is programming your conscious, but that’s Ryan’s less eloquent way of maybe asking about what the heck you were talking about there.

Ian Clark: Internal communication: I’ll give you just some basic examples. There are measurements of the number of thoughts required to articulate your body. For example, the number of movements in your hand—there are so many things happening between the brain and the fingers, even the sensitivity of what you can measure with your skin and your fingers. Apparently, it takes 80,000 thoughts just to touch your index finger to your thumb once. And yet, we can sit here and twiddle our thumbs—all of us can touch our fingers to our thumbs back and forth while continuing to talk and focus on what we’re doing.

The internal thinking patterns slow down when you lose the crystallization of the internal cellular mechanisms in your body—through your nervous system, through your endocrine system, through your autonomic nervous system; All those things get congested, and the communication goes down. That’s why people’s bodies begin to forget. That’s why they eventually have Alzheimer’s and dementia if they live long enough—because of congestion and the lack of crystals. What are the crystals? The crystals are your electrolytes. They’re called electrolytes because they’re electrical—they’re biophotons. The light, the lit-up—you’re lit up by glow. My biophotons are functioning extremely well; I have the raw material to supply that. My electrons are flowing. My body memory is back fully because I’ve gotten all the nano particulates out of the way that has congested me for all these years. Functionality, coordination, equilibrium, balance—all these things you have to have as a good young person, people lose these as they get older.

Your interstitial fluid, which is the fluid in between all of your cells—and then you have your intracellular fluid. Cellular communication from one cell to another is essential to have high functionality for coordination and body intelligence. As people age and they breathe more nano particulates without cleaning them out because they don’t know how to, they become congested. The congestion is interpreted as inflammation. Inflammation is interpreted as pain. Pain means suffering. Pain means you’re getting older, stiffer, and sore, with more potential for disease or discomfort. Then you’ve got to get the communication crystals back online in your body. If you take a circuit board, every circuit board in existence requires molecular iodine to be part of the material in that circuit board to function. The same applies to your body. There’s magnesium: magnesium is a major, it’s called the master mineral because it has such an electrical component to it, like a battery charging. When you go down on magnesium, you lose your battery charge. The same thing applies to the biocompatible, bioavailable minerals that your body needs, which come from the ocean. Your body starts to charge its internal battery when you cleanse it out by producing clean blood. You cannot produce clean blood without the raw materials to do so.

What happens as you age? If you’re breathing 11,000 liters a day, your blood is getting more contaminated, but your body doesn’t have the raw materials it needs to produce clean blood today. It gets more contaminated—just very slowly, it becomes more contaminated and it can’t efficiently clean things out, then your kidneys get plugged, your liver gets plugged, and the efficiency goes down. It exacerbates, getting worse and worse until you’re dead. That’s what’s killing people.

Getting the communication back with the crystals is crucial. All the smart technology, all the mobile phones, all the Wi-Fi—they all require crystalline structures in the circuitry, in the CPUs, and the broadcasters to receive and transmit signals, It’s all through crystals; Your body runs the same way. When your elemental electrolytes are diminished by drinking too much water because water washes them out every time you drink it—your memory, your conscious memory, and your subconscious memory end up with advanced things like dementia and Alzheimer’s. When they cut open a cadaver that has died of Alzheimer’s or dementia if they lived long enough, they find a shriveled brain full of metals, chemicals, poisons, and pollutants because the blood got so contaminated, it couldn’t carry the nutrients to the brain anymore. Everything got congested, the brain shrunk from lack of nutrition, and it filled up with metals, whereas the exact opposite happens when you add the sea minerals, the iodine, the magnesium, but it has to be the right form. It can’t just be any form of those things;  It has to be a very specific type, and that’s what fuels your body to produce clean blood, to clean the circulation system out. When you keep producing clean blood every day, your lymphatic system, which has just as much lymph fluid as you have blood can then clean itself. But when your body intelligence is telling the lymphatic system, “I’m sorry, the river is totally dirty. You are not allowed to dump into it,” it tells the cells the same thing: “Cells, you can’t dump your toxins right now. We’re overloaded.” As soon as you flip the script on that and start producing the minerals and the clean blood inside your system that you consume, everything can clean itself. It takes a full year for someone my age, while for someone your age, it’s going to take six to seven months. For an 18- or 19-year-old, three to four months. They’re not going to have any of the symptoms that I’m having at 65—none. They’re just going to get cleaned up and have a full sailing experience because they’re young and they’re not full of this particulate matter.

[00:30:26] Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Brain and Body with Essential Micronutrients

Ian Clark: Iodine: What’s with the iodine? Iodine is a fuel. Everybody thinks of iodine as an antiseptic for cuts, or iodine that you put on a cow’s teats if you’re milking them so they don’t get mastitis, or you use it in industrial applications or hospitals. What people don’t know is that iodine, in its right form, is a micronutrient—an essential micronutrient—that, when you don’t have it, you’re missing something significant that you’re not even aware of. Some dimensions do not open up to you that otherwise would.

Do you remember in school, what percentage of your brain were you told you were using?

Ryan Sternagel: I was told 10%.

Ian Clark: The word went out internationally around the Second World War, or maybe a little earlier, but certainly since I’ve been alive, that we only use 10% of our brain. That is the biggest, fattest, stinking lie that’s ever been told. If you believe that, your subconscious believes that. It tells your body, “Just use 10% of the brain.” The fact of the matter, and the good news, is this: You have 100% use of your brain, not 10%. You have 100% use of your brain. Who came up with the harebrained idea that we use only 10%, then tells us that, and we believe it? Then we tell ourselves that. We just took 90% of our power away.

You may not be able to access every part of your brain if you’re low on magnesium, iodine, or different elements of the periodic table. True, you’re not getting the access you could, but you do have use of it—you just need to engage or activate those things, which you can do and will do. You will see a huge uptick in your cognitive ability to remember things, absorb information, retransmit it back out, organize this set of information in your mind, remember the most important things, and prioritize those things that are valuable. That brings your value on earth way up. It cleans up your conversation; You’re not using filler words like “like” or “as” “You know what I mean?” I want you to understand—that all these verbal viruses that waste people’s time, energy, and brainpower, all go away because there’s a cleanup process where you realize, “I don’t want to use words that have no value.” I don’t have to ask you, “Does this make sense?” If I have to ask you, “Does this make sense?” I’m assuming that you’re not very bright. I know you’re extremely bright, that you’re tracking with me, you don’t even need to hear me ask, “Does this make sense?” That wastes your time, and I’m implying that I don’t think you’re that smart when I say that.

Or how about this completely incorrect statement—tell me what’s wrong with the statement: “I know many people who drive cars, many people who drive luxury vehicles, many people who are interested in the health space, many people who meditate, many people who have children, large families.” What was wrong with that statement? Where’s the error? Where’s the verbal virus that crept in there that diminished the value of what I just said?

Ryan Sternagel: Now I’m saying “and”—you’re making me watch my words more, Ian—but I would think that you’re diminishing your thought if you’re passing it off to “a lot of people” or “many people,” not saying that you are interested in these things.

Ian Clark: The one mistake that I made, that no one picks up on—and I never picked up on it—I used the same mistake over and over again in my life until somebody pointed it out to me. I went, “Oh, that’s messed up.” I said, “People that drive luxury cars, people that are interested in healthy living.” People are not objects. “That” refers to an object. It’s one simple shift: “People who drive luxury cars, people who are…”—instead of objectifying you, which I’ve immediately done as soon as I refer to you as “that,” you are a “who.” You are a being, a conscious living being. Cars that burn oil—if I said “cars who burn oil,” you’d go, “What’s wrong with this guy?” Cars are objects; they burn oil. “Cars that burn oil, people who eat food.” Shifting that one word changes your entire output to every single person around you.

I am amazed when I hear public speakers who use the word “that” for people. I even have a friend—I won’t mention his name, but it’s a little bit funny. He wrote a book called Who, and that’s the title of it. It’s all about who you have in your life. The entire time he was talking about his book, introducing it, he was referring to people as “that.” I was like, “Wow, this is not correlating,” because you don’t even know—subconsciously, in the back of your mind—when I say “that” for people, you are subconsciously identifying that I’m a very cold person, I’m seeing people as objects only—I’m objectifying rather than personifying.

Or if I use phrases like “so that you get it,” or “you understand,” or “does this make sense?”—if I start doing that, your subconscious image of me is diminished without your conscious mind even realizing it. Subconsciously, you begin to think I’m not as bright as you might have thought I was. Each one of us can bring value to the people around us by saving them time, getting to definitive words, and getting rid of verbal viruses—just like getting rid of viruses in our thinking.

It’s not just verbal now; it’s the viruses in the programming that make us believe that we can only use 10% of our brains. That’s a massive virus. It went viral all over the world, and everybody believed it. My thing is, you have 100% use of your brain. I know you do. You’re super friggin’ intelligent—at ridiculous levels, every one of you. Your bodies are hyper-intelligent beyond your comprehension levels. Your body knows how to take care of itself, but you have to support it with the raw materials and the right approach that is simple, effective, and doesn’t cost a lot of money. It takes a little bit of time, a little bit of effort, and sometimes it takes a bank account full of courage, you do have to have courage. How do you get courage? By encouraging yourself. You get encouraged when you see results. I got super encouraged when I saw my knees get totally healed at 60 years old by my own hands—a physical thing I did. One week later, my knees were healed. It wasn’t a miracle; it was real mechanical, physical stuff that changed my body. When I saw it do that, I applied it to the rest of my body. These are the things that get me super excited because I know everyone can do it. It works for everyone.

There are very few things you can find that work for everyone across the board. These are functional, foundational realities. With our company, I just wanted to have only those must-have raw materials that the body has to have. Because there are all kinds of cool health products that you might like to have, want to have—there are luxury products and all these fancy things, but if you don’t have the must-have foundational stuff, you’re not going to get to where you want to go. It’s going to cost a lot of money to do a whole bunch of other stuff that you would otherwise not have to do once you learn the truth.

[00:38:20] The Essential Role of Iodine: Protecting Against Radiation and Supporting Thyroid Health

Ryan Sternagel: We framed this call around iodine. Iodine, I take it, is one of these things that’s going to be the master cleaner-upper of all this particulate crap and everything we’re breathing in and all that. You also made the point that—you haven’t even mentioned it yet, but I like that—you talk a lot about how we think of iodine in terms of radiation protection, but it’s more like when Fukushima happened, everyone went and bought up all the iodine they could get—it was sold out everywhere. We happen to be bathing in low-level or increasing levels of radiation every day. I told people we’re going to talk about iodine, and of course, it’s hard to get you to sell your own stuff, but talk to us about how iodine plays into all this.

Ian Clark: You mentioned the radiation factor. Everybody thinks, “Maybe I should stock up on iodine in case there’s a nuclear war in the world, and then we get drifting radiation poisoning. I better be ready because it’s all going to get sold out right away.” That’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with doing that as a prepper; I’m all for that. But how about right here, right now? Because you mentioned radiation. What is radiation? It’s radio frequencies. When you have them at a high enough level, it can cook you, like a microwave oven, for example, can cook you if you’re inside it. We’re living in a low-grade microwave oven all the time now because of all the 5G towers. Not to try to scare people, that’s not the idea. There is microwave radiation that goes from our mobile phones, our Wi-Fi connecting all our smart technologies, to all the towers, to all the grid. It’s low-level, but it’s a constant thing.

The EPA will tell you, “Oh, it’s low enough levels that it’s not going to bother you.” But that’s only for one hour, that’s how they measure it, where you have the phone so close to your head. If you hold it 60 inches away, sure, but for how long? Because it’s time exposure. They never talk about time exposure. We are constantly exposed now, and therefore, our thyroids can be affected by that, but iodine doesn’t solve the problem, iodide solves the problem. People think, “Oh, I’ve got to get iodine.” They don’t even know that the thyroid can’t use iodine; it uses only iodide.

Here’s the cool thing: when you have the original form of iodine itself, which is in its raw form, I2 molecular, crystal iodine in a delta molecule—a gas molecule. We have found out how to infuse that into medical-grade water. It’s a very high-volume, very low-dose solution; The key is low dose, high volume. You could even drink a whole bottle and not be harmed by it, whereas if you drank a bottle of Lugol’s, you’d be dead. Even with small amounts of Lugol’s, you’ve got to be super careful because it has a whole ton of stuff in it, from potassium iodide, which I consider poison, to all these other chemicals, plus iodine in a way, way too high doses, it’s not in the right form. It’s better than nothing; If you were to take one drop of Lugol’s, dissolve it in water, and drink it, it’s better than not getting anything, but when you can have the greatest form, the most available form, and the most potent form with a low dose, then you would want to do that.

When you drink this thing called Perfect Iodine, it tastes amazing. It goes in immediately and starts to carpet bomb everything in your body that shouldn’t be there—things that you’re breathing in or things that you’ve ingested one way or another that are infectious. I’m not talking about viruses and things like that—whatever that world is, the whole germ theory thing—but we do know we accumulate things in our bodies that are non-human and interrupt us. Iodine loves to go and carpet bomb that stuff. As soon as it does that, it reacts chemically with whatever is in your body and immediately converts itself to iodide, which is in its pure form. It’s not potassium iodide; it’s just iodide— I2 molecular iodide that gets picked up into our bloodstream, goes to our thyroid, and starts to protect our thyroid, number one.

Number two, it’s the fuel our thyroid uses to produce T3 and T4 iodine hormones, which then support your immune system, your digestive health, your brain function, and many other things in your endocrine system. That’s the real key. You want the pure form of it, and it’s super simple, ultra-affordable, and you’re down to under a dollar a day, even in super doses—I’m talking about high volume, low dose, but a dose that will have an effect way beyond the RDA that people talk about. One of the problems with the thyroid is that bromide and different fluorides and things like that are in the environment or in the food we’re eating or in packaged foods jam up the receptor sites in your thyroid that the iodide wants to get into, and then you can’t get into the receptor sites. But over time, that will get cleaned out when you do these other protocols.

[00:43:40] Comparing Iodine Forms: The Benefits of Perfect Iodine Over Nascent and Lugol’s

Ryan Sternagel: You mentioned Lugol’s earlier on. I saw a question come through, and I have this question too. I’d come to the understanding that nascent iodine is better than traditional Lugol’s: “What’s the difference between the Perfect Iodine that you’re talking about here and the newer nascent iodine form?”

Ian Clark: The nascent iodine form, provided they have real science, is called a monatomic form of iodine. It’s a single molecule of iodine instead of I2. I2 is the double form that your body uses and splits in half, which is the proper form you want to have. Nascent iodine is better than nothing. Nascent is at least clean; it doesn’t have all that other terrible stuff in it. It’s been electrocuted to put it into its form. If you spill nascent iodine on your body, it could be extremely dangerous and mess with you because it goes instantly into your skin. I don’t like anything that has a risky aspect involved with it. There’s also Atomidine, which is the same as nascent. Those things are better than nothing, but you have to be extremely careful with them. They are not in the form that we have learned the body wants. You want your body to monitor and measure itself and use what it wants to use.

People have hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Hashimoto’s—they have all these different conditions because the body has not been fueled properly. A lot of people say, “Oh, if you have hyperthyroidism, you can’t have any iodine at all.” That is according to an opinion that we have found to be not exactly accurate because the hyperthyroid is overcompensating, and the hypo is tired and lazy; You want it to be right in the middle. Both of those problems are related to insufficient iodide for the thyroid or the iodine that goes in.

Women get fibroids and they get endometriosis, those are directly related to iodine deficiency, not just iodine deficiency but also iodide deficiency. This decongests the body and allows the whole reproductive system to work much better. Women do not get fibroids and endometriosis when they have the right iodine levels in their bodies. Then the iodine is converted to iodide, getting the thyroid back online, which is the central heartbeat of your endocrine system. It just helps the whole body function better. It’s equated to IQ—they equate iodide in its form going to the thyroid to increase your brain function, all part and parcel of what we’ve already been talking about the whole time. It’s just one of these very simple things that’s easy to add to your protocol—low effort, no risk, and high reward. That’s what I like about it. I don’t like risky things that could potentially harm.

[00:46:34] How to Effectively Incorporate Perfect Iodine into Your Health Routine: Dosing, Benefits, and Cost

Ryan Sternagel: When you said “affordable,” I love it—you guys will see, I’ll post the link here, but you get a big bottle of your Perfect Iodine kit. It’s 160-something servings in it, and that’s the full 900 microgram dose. You mentioned dosing and your body having what it needs and all that stuff when people get the Perfect Iodine kit. You were telling me before about the RDA in Japan being way higher. With the kit, you get the big bottle, and you get a dropper that comes with it. I think that dropper is a full 900 microgram dose, that’s one of the 160 doses you get in the bottle. But then, you also have the spray bottle, which has a much lower dose because it’s just one spray. What I’m rambling to get to here is how should people think about taking it and working it into their protocol. Should they do the 900 to top themselves up and then work their way down? What is the optimal way to take it, in your estimation?

Ian Clark: Depending on the person’s current state, they can get their body acclimated by titrating the amounts and working their way up—this is always the best approach rather than starting high. The RDA is 150 micrograms, and that’s going to help, but it’s going to barely do anything noticeable; You can amp it up. Right now, I take a tablespoon per day, which means would be gone in a month. That bottle could last four months or 32 months at the RDA—it’s a little ridiculous, but that’s what people are used to thinking and taking. It’s up to each individual what they do with that bottle when they get it. That’s what I do; I just take a tablespoon. There are ways of ensuring cost savings for people who want to buy more.

In that kit comes the 500 ml bottle. It’s 300 parts per million minimum, but it can be more, within 20% more, which we make sure to go above, so it’s not less than what they’re expecting. Then there’s a little spray bottle. The spray bottle is cool. The reason the spray bottle is empty is that it doesn’t have a seal on it. The 500 ml bottle has a cap seal with a special sealing on it that does not allow any leakage of the iodine gas out of the bottle. If you took the cap off that bottle and set it on the counter, within a week, there would be nothing left but pure medical-grade water because all the gas would have evaporated. When you keep the cap on, all the gas stays in. When you pour one ounce of that with a little funnel that you get in the kit into the spray bottle, you can dilute it down. If you’re going to spray it on your skin, you could put half water and half iodine.

When you spray it on your face, we call it Young Skin. If you have acne, blemishes, whiteheads, blackheads, whatever it is, you’ll have perfectly clear skin within weeks; All you have to do is put the iodine on for 30 seconds on a rinsed face. You just rinse it with water, dry it off, spray it on, and let it sit for 30 seconds. It goes right to work. You can put your moisturizing cream on top of that, makeup, whatever you want. Then, before you go to bed, you do it again and watch what happens to your skin. You’ll have the cleanest, most beautiful skin on earth. People will go, “What’s with that?” That’s number one. Plus, it has the elements that the body uses to fix wrinkles and reverse all kinds of skin damage, but you have to be consistent and almost religious with it because you could have it on your counter, but it’s not going to work if it just sits there. If you leave the spray bottle sitting for more than a month, most of the iodine will leak out, but you’re going to go through that bottle within a week just using it on the external part of your body.

You can use it all over your system. If you have a damaged body, if you hurt yourself, get a crush or split skin, just put the iodine on it, and it’ll heal four times faster than it would even with sutures; We’ve seen this over and over again.

Fungal infections in the toes, fungus toenails—it’s basically miraculous. You can just spray it right on or even put a little bit in a cup and soak the nail in there, you’ll see rapid reversal of fungal toenails. Then the internal use, of course, as we’ve already talked about. The kit is cost-effective to the max. When people go on there, just make sure you’re taking advantage of the offer to get the lowest possible price.

The way it started was, when we first started selling Perfect Iodine, we had a $49 bottle that would last for four months at the RDA. Then we went double strength and four times the size, which means eight times more product in the bottle, which would have taken it up to almost $400, but we were like, “No, our whole goal is to make this a super affordable product—get it down.” So, now we have it at a quarter of that retail price, and when people buy more than one, they can get even better pricing. As we keep going, we’re going to improve the pricing as much as we can. It’s all based on volume and affordability for the company, as well as for the people who are investing in their health. Now it’s at a good price, it’s one-quarter of the cost it was just three months ago.

Ryan Sternagel: I love it. It’s super affordable; I would encourage everyone too. When you look at the cost of if you were to try to buy however many bottles of those little bottles of nascent iodine that you would need to match one of the Perfect Iodine kits, it’s crazy. I don’t know how you did it, Ian, but I’m glad you did because, as you said, let’s make this stuff as affordable as possible for everyone. You’re doing a great job with that. I appreciate it. Stock up while you can, friends.

[00:53:26] Addressing Allergies and Advanced Uses of Perfect Iodine: Safe Dosing and Nebulization Benefits

Ian Clark: There are some questions about allergens and things like shellfish allergies and iodine. We’ve never had anyone with a shellfish allergy get affected by this. This stuff does not come from the ocean at all, it comes from a pure mine source out of Chile that goes through a USP-grade pharmaceutical process. I use the term “pharmaceutical” because it’s very strict. It’s an ultra-purified I2 molecular iodine, and it’s turned into a delta molecule—high volume, low dose. We have not had any allergic reactions whatsoever to this to date, and we don’t ever expect to.

Also, it’s very important for everyone who has concerns—some people are very sensitive to anything; Always start small. You can’t go wrong starting low and just gently building it up, seeing how your body reacts and how it feels. That’s just a rule of thumb, it’s one of those cool things.

You can also nebulize this stuff if you like. If people have a lot of contamination and congestion in their lungs or sinuses, you can get little nebulizing devices, you just have to look for them online. Don’t buy the super cheap ones because they have weird metals in them, but get a decent nebulizer and breathe it up through your sinuses. It goes up to your sinuses, does a bunch of work in the sinus cavity, and goes down into the trachea, into the bronchioles, and into the lungs. We’ve seen remarkable results for people who have ongoing lung issues. That’s why you speed heal when you have a cut and put this pure iodine on—because iodine is the raw material your body needs to heal the skin fast, inside and out.

[00:55:10] Understanding Shellfish Allergies and Iodine: Connections and Safe Approaches

Ryan Sternagel: Maybe we’ll jump to some Q&A here. “What is the deal with shellfish allergies? Would having the proper levels of iodine help with that, or is it completely unrelated? I developed a shellfish allergy later in life, like in my mid-twenties. Then I found out that the same thing happened to my grandpa—he wasn’t allergic to shellfish until some time later in his life. Then he was. Is it iodine-related at all, or is it something completely different?”

Ian Clark: No, it’s not related to iodine. It could be somewhat related to iodide because there’s iodide in certain shellfish and certain fish as well, like haddock, which have higher levels of iodide. The iodide might have a little bit of an adverse reaction, but I think primarily it is the chemicals that your body builds up to and becomes hypersensitive to. Just like a lot of people don’t have an allergy to something at a certain level, and then all of a sudden they get the anaphylactic response from then on. The body gets congested, and then the body’s telling you, “Hey, I’ve had enough of this crap. Do not give me any more. I’m going to turn you into an alien or choke you to death.” But we haven’t done any clinical trials whatsoever on allergic reactions, we’ve only been doing anecdotal studies based on feedback from our clients, and that’s it.

Again, it goes back to anyone who is sensitive or has different things that they’re noticing—start very small, just be gentle, and take it easy and see how it goes.  They’re likely going to be able to ramp it right up without any issue at all.

[00:56:55] Using Perfect Iodine and Solaris for Radiation Detox and Comprehensive Health Support

Ryan Sternagel: A good question from Paula: “She went through the wringer with conventional cancer treatments, radiation in particular, wondering if iodine will help clear all that out—Perfect Iodine, of course.”

Ian Clark: It goes in and carpet bombs those radiation ions, isotopes, and those things that are in the body to get them out. It does react with them and neutralize them. There is one thing that I tell people: if you know that you’ve got a lot of heavy metals, or you have a lot of fungal infections, or things like yeast overgrowth, or serious gut problems when you hyperdose the iodine because it’ll go after those quickly, we have another product called Solaris. You wait 30 minutes from the time you take the iodine, then you take the Solaris, and that makes sure that all the things the iodine reacted with are turned into inert matter. Solaris works on its own without iodine as well, but it’s a super mop-up operation to make sure you don’t Herxheimer. Sometimes with people, if they release too much too quickly, they can have a Herxheimer reaction—maybe they’ll get a rash, or maybe they’ll get some kind of a headache or nausea and the Solaris just goes in and cleans it up. That’s your number one, number two punch.

Solaris is a very simple, natural product. It is the entire extract of a clove, rosemary, and thyme plant, with all the plant esters. It’s super strong. It’s extremely affordable as well, and you just need the tiniest amount. It also works externally and goes in with your dental care to clean up your teeth. You’ll never have to have your teeth cleaned again, ever, if you use it consistently. I’m just talking about putting it in water, spraying it in your mouth, and brushing your teeth with it. Do that twice a day, and you’ll get remarkable dental results. You can gargle in the back of your throat, but internally, the Solaris goes in, and it’s a major mop-up operation. We’ve had huge results with that. We’ve had it on the market since 2020. I knew about it since 2016 and spent four years just giving it out to people I knew in the health space to see what kind of reactions we would get. It was almost too good to be true, but it was true. The stuff it did was ridiculous. We can’t make medical claims, obviously, but people were making all kinds of claims that it did this or that for them. That’s fine, that’s for them, but it’s definitely a wonderful add-on.

[00:59:42] Optimizing Post-Treatment Recovery with Magnesium: The Power of Transdermal Absorption

Ryan Sternagel: Paula was also asking about magnesium. She asked, “What type of magnesium would you suggest after colorectal cancer treatment has been completed?” I guess it’s the same thing—she’s looking to clean her body up. You’ve mentioned magnesium before. We should probably get you back on just to talk about magnesium, but do you want to speak to your magnesium stuff for a minute?

Ian Clark: For sure. All the biocompatible minerals in the body are in the form of chloride from the ocean. We’ve known about this for 15 years, and the learning curve on that has been very steep in the last few years regarding how important this is. The magnesium that I recommend to everyone is not consumed internally; it’s absorbed externally through the skin, and it’s called Ease. But it’s not like any other transdermal magnesium product in the world. There are a lot of different transdermal magnesium products sold in health food stores, which are made by melting magnesium chloride into water, putting it in a spray bottle, and saying, “Spray it on.” Ours is a very specific extract from sea mist from original seawater, but it’s magnesium chloride hexahydrate; It’s only that. there are no other elements with it at all. We could only find one company on earth, in Europe, that supplies that raw material to us. It took us a year and a half to find them.

We also put it through a 12-hour process where, when we put the magnesium chloride hexahydrate into our purified medical water, it goes through 12 hours of a vortex process. There’s a whole bunch of science behind it that was proven way back in the 1950s about how this makes it very optimal so that when you put it on your skin, it’s extremely comfortable; It goes right in, it’s at the maximum saturation point, too—if we put more in, it would fall out. We have the most you can get in. It goes into your skin and that avoids the digestive tract; it doesn’t tax your digestive system like internally ingested magnesium does. The magnesium chloride that is naturally found in the sea minerals is in our Oceans Alive product as well as our Trace product, and it contains all of the elements from the seawater, all certified pure. The internal ones are exceptionally good. The magnesium citrate—I don’t touch it because it gives peristaltic reactions, and it’s just not the right form. But that’s one of the most popular ones on the market—magnesium citrate. Any kind of colon problems that require surgery are often due to a lack of things like iodine, magnesium, and sea salts.

[01:02:22] Managing Thyroid Imbalances: Safe Use of Iodine for Graves’ Disease and Beyond

Ryan Sternagel: You touched on hyperthyroid versus hypothyroid—no problems that you’ve seen. Someone asked about Graves’ disease, which I believe is a manifestation of hyperthyroidism. Any concerns with Graves’ disease that you’ve seen with taking this?

Ian Clark: Anyone who has concerns—whether mental, emotional, or physical—should start with a tiny amount, see how they respond, and then ramp it up from there. It deals with all those imbalance issues; it just sometimes takes a bit of time. If they are getting thrown off… Some people just don’t have thyroid function anymore because it was removed, and they’re on Synthroid. In that case, this iodine isn’t going to help their thyroid at all because converting to iodide won’t be picked up or used. That’s irrelevant because every cell in your body requires the micronutrient iodine. Everybody is going to benefit from this, head to toe. They just have to be careful if they are sensitive, and the body will eventually acclimate and adapt to not have a reactive response, it just takes a bit of time.

[01:03:38] Transitioning from Thyroid Medication: A Gradual Approach with Iodine

Ryan Sternagel: “Any thoughts on folks who are on thyroid medication? I guess you did just mention Synthroid. I guess it’s the same thing—start slow, see how you feel, and all that good stuff.

Ian Clark: If someone hasn’t had their thyroid nuked and they are on Synthroid, we have seen people wean themselves off, but they have to do it gradually, there’s no stopping and starting suddenly. They shouldn’t just suddenly stop the Synthroid and start the Perfect Iodine—we’d never recommend that. They can monitor their system by measuring how their thyroid function is. They can use the iodine that converts to iodide and then gradually reduce the Synthroid, maybe just taking a little shaving off the pill. Synthroid is low dose in the microgram range, so it’s just a weaning process. We want everyone to be super responsible and have an enjoyable time converting over to a healthy thyroid.

[01:04:45] Understanding Elemental Minerals: Reactivity, Safety, and Their Role in Health

Ryan Sternagel: Interesting question from Steve: “Aren’t elemental minerals reactive with other substances?”

Ian Clark: They can be, depending on what form they’re in. The only ones I recommend as far as elemental substances are those that are either exceptionally pure in their original form or unrefined entirely, like unrefined sea minerals; That’s what we have in our products—they’re all unrefined, they’re not processed, they’ve never been heated up, and they are biocompatible with the body. The reason we know this is because you are a literal walking ocean. Your stomach acid alone is hydrochloric acid. The chloride minerals from the sea minerals are the raw material your body uses to make potent, good-quality hydrochloric acid for digestion, for example. These minerals are also used to convert plasma. They call sea minerals plasma because, in the world wars, when they didn’t have blood transfusion ability, they would filter purified ocean water down to one-third strength, inject it into the body, and it would convert it into blood. That’s the raw material your body uses to produce good, clean blood every day.

As for reactionary concerns, if you have different things in your body that you shouldn’t have, we are very much avoiding diuretics; Any stimulant is counterproductive to the rehydration of your system. When you’re hydrating your body, it’s not just about drinking water, you’re drinking electrolytic fluid that brings your electrolyte levels up, which hydrates you ultimately. And it also, as I mentioned about your stomach acid, helps you rehydrate with the minerals until you’re topped up and have the right amount of blood. Your body is not going to overproduce blood; it’s only going to produce as much as it needs, which is more than what you have right now. You might go from five liters to five and a half liters, and that can have some interesting symptoms temporarily, but we’ll have to get into that at a different time.

[01:06:55] Choosing the Right Nebulizer in Canada: Tips for Effective Iodine Use

Ryan Sternagel: Good deal. A random question, but given that you’re Canadian, you might have something to say: “Can you recommend a brand of nebulizer available in Canada?”

Ian Clark: I don’t necessarily recommend a brand per se. What I do is I went to a sleep apnea clinic where they have nebulizers that work well for people with sleep apnea; I don’t have that, but that’s where I went. They’re a little bit pricey, but they last for years and years. If you go on Amazon, you’ll find the handheld ones, but they have little mesh screens that eventually react with the iodine, and then they stop working. I’m not comfortable with that kind of thing. I prefer the ones that nebulize using a vaporizer setup, where it’s like little microbubbles. The ones from the sleep apnea clinic—I think I paid $200 for the one I got from them—are still affordable and are going to last a lifetime pretty much, but they’re the best ones. The only thing with them is you want to have an adjustable speed because if you have it turned right up, all the iodine is going to release right away. You can turn it back a little bit. You have a blend of iodine with distilled water, but when you turn it on, make sure you get the first puff. That’s how you’ve got to do it. You’ll figure it out, but you’ll be able to tell right away because it’s either going to have that little beautiful, fresh iodine feel to it, or it’s just going to be water vaporizing.

[01:08:29] Finding Your Ideal Iodine Dose: Starting Slow and Ramping Up Safely

Ryan Sternagel: Lots of questions, and we’ve talked about it a bit: “What’s the minimum? What’s the maximum? How do you know if you’ve had too much? How do you find your sweet spot?” I guess the minimum is probably a spray out of your spray bottle. You mentioned you take a tablespoon a day, which sounds like a good maximum. Anything else you can say about how people can know what’s best for them?

Ian Clark: Because everybody’s so unique and has a different history, a different metabolism, a different DNA structure, a different genetic predisposition, I think each person should start gently. When you’re ramping it up, you can start with sprays. Five sprays are one microdose, which is the RDA—150 micrograms. Or you can use the little pipette that comes with it—it’s only one milliliter; That’s the RDA—that’s 150 micrograms in one milliliter in the old bottles. In the new bottles, it’s 300 micrograms, so it would be half a milliliter for the new dose. You’re almost going to notice nothing from that. In fact, pretty much nothing. You can do five sprays, put it straight into your mouth, or you can put it in water and drink it.

If people have things like Crohn’s, diverticulitis, IBS, leaky gut, or whatever they want to call it, they can put a higher dose in water and drink it right away to get it down into the stomach, where it will keep cleaning as it goes through. It can even be implanted in the lower colon, and it goes directly in and starts to work right in the area where it’s needed the most. People just have to be very self-respectful and meet themselves where they are. It’s always good to start low and just build up—a tablespoon a day is great. That’s super fuel.

[01:10:43] Shipping Availability: Accessing Perfect Iodine in Canada and Worldwide

Ryan Sternagel: A question about Canadians—will you ship to Canada? I would imagine, given you’re a Canadian company. “Do you ship worldwide? Anywhere you don’t ship?”

Ian Clark: There are countries where we can’t ship, and that’s controlled more by the border of that country. Spain is one of them, and unbelievably, a lot of Asian countries won’t allow things in through the border for some reason, unless you have all the certifications already in place ahead of time. We ship to Canada, the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. Right now in Canada, because Canada is such a weird duck, they’re trying to bring in all kinds of restrictions to kill the supplement industry by 2025. We haven’t got the registration on the new bottle in Canada yet, we only have the old bottle. What we can do is ship the old bottle and provide the equivalency of the old bottle for the new bottle price, so they’re not going to have to pay the old bottle price. It was very frustrating to me. During the whole shutdown of the world and the supply chain restrictions, we couldn’t even get packaging, the only thing we could get was the 125 ml bottle, and they were limited at the time; That’s why we got stuck with that. It took us two years to get the 500 ml bottle in stock from the time we ordered it to the time we got it. It was a crazy thing. Now it’s fine—we can get hundreds of thousands of those bottles, but that was the challenge. For Canadian customers, they have to phone into customer service, and I will talk to customer service and tell them to give equivalency for the same price.

[01:12:32] Iodine Choices in a Nuclear Event: Perfect Iodine vs. Potassium Iodide

Ryan Sternagel: You mentioned, obviously, potassium iodide: “What are your thoughts on potassium iodide in the event of some sort of actual nuclear situation?” Someone was asking about the Radio Shield product. Would that be ideal to take in a big nuclear catastrophe, or would you just take more of your Perfect Iodine?

Ian Clark: I would do the Perfect Iodine, but if for some reason they couldn’t get ahold of the Perfect Iodine and only had potassium iodide, that is better than nothing. It is not ideal; I don’t touch potassium iodide at all in anything, but it is certainly better than nothing. If that’s all I had at that time, I would use it.

[01:13:26] Proper Storage of Iodine: Ensuring Long-Lasting Potency and Safety

Ryan Sternagel: “Once opened, how long do we have to use the iodine before it’s lost its benefit?”

Ian Clark: Oh, it’ll last for years. It does not need to go into the refrigerator. It cannot be frozen. If you freeze it, it’s ruined—you’ve got to throw it out because what happens is it takes all the crystal ions and just drops them to the bottom, making it useless. You could even harm yourself with it at that point. You wouldn’t want that, so don’t let it get frozen. Even in the wintertime, we have to send it with heat packs in case it’s sitting on somebody’s porch for too long. If it does, then we have to replace it. At any rate, just keep it at room temperature, not in direct sunlight, and keep the cap on. You don’t need to crank the cap on super tight—just nice and firm and snug, and it will last for years. But people will go through it way before that.

Ryan Sternagel: I like it. Mary Jean is saying, “This is amazing. Wish he would speak to all of their products.” That’s the point, Mary Jean—we’ll get him back on. Someone was asking about Solaris more—Solaris or Solaris? I find it’s most effective to talk about one product at a time, even if people have a slew of amazing products like Ian does. I’ve been an Oceans Alive marine phytoplankton and pressed seed oil customer for years. We haven’t even mentioned those things, but those were your kind of two core things to begin with, Ian. We should probably talk about those at some point. We’ll get Ian back on to talk about some of their awesome stuff as soon as we can.

[01:15:20] Understanding IV Iodine: Considerations and Cautions

Ryan Sternagel: “Any thoughts on IV iodine? Someone was asking about any concerns there.” It’s probably the same answer—start slow, and see how you feel.

Ian Clark: Depending on the form of iodine, the one in the hospital is not Perfect Iodine. They have all kinds of different iodines in the hospital; You’d have to ask the hospital or the doctor what form it was. Find out why that happened to her and what her reaction was as well.

[01:15:58] Simple Protocols for Body Detox: The Role of Iodine, Solaris, and Sea Minerals

Ryan Sternagel: Karen wants to hear about the protocols to clean out the body. I think iodine was a big piece of that.

Ian Clark: It is. The iodine and the Solaris are two large pieces. The other big one is getting sea minerals into your system at a much higher rate every single day, in the form of water—it’s a liquid. Whether it’s the Trace or the Oceans Alive, we’re also working on coming up with a very specialized, pure, unrefined sea salt, but that’s going to be down the road a little way. Just getting the sea minerals into your system is what your body uses to build new, fresh, clean blood; That’s going to do the vast majority of the work from the inside out in getting your cardiovascular system sorted out. That’s a massive help.

I’m going to be doing little videos on these things that we can refer to later—just real short videos that are straight to the point because these protocols are not complex at all. They’re ultra-simple, and people think they have to jump through hoops and do a lot of things; They don’t. There is a bit of coaching involved because the body does react periodically, temporarily, depending on where you’re at, how much it’s going to clean out, and how fast. The first few months I was on it, I had to get a toilet brush, that’ll give you an idea.

[01:17:20] Timing Iodine and Solaris for Optimal Detoxification

Ryan Sternagel: What else do we have here? “The Solaris—after taking the iodine, you said a half-hour?”

Ian Clark: That’s right. Thirty minutes is all you need. You could even do it in less time because the iodine goes in so quickly. It goes into your mouth, through your tongue, through your throat, into your stomach. But I like a 30-minute window just to be on the safe side, so you’re not conflicting, because the Solaris just cleans up. I don’t recommend taking Solaris with any other medications or supplements at the same time, because it is that powerful of a product.

[01:18:07] Iodine and Medication: Safe Use and Timing for Best Results

Ryan Sternagel: “There are various contraindication questions to different medications and so on. Probably the same answer—start slow, see how you feel. Or is there any particular medication that does not mix well with iodine, period?”

Ian Clark: No, I just like to take iodine on its own on an empty stomach if possible. It’s not going to have any adverse effects—you’re not going to get any contraindications that we know of at all from the iodine. The Solaris has to be taken by itself, which is a bit of a pain. Honestly, I don’t like to take things that have to be taken alone, but if you choose the right time of day, maybe in between meals or before a meal, that’d be good. Anything restrictive like that makes me think about it too much, and it’s a little bit interrupting with the protocols. I like simpler protocols, but these two have to be done that way.

[01:19:07] Administering Iodine Safely for Infants and Pets: Best Practices and Additional Tips

Ryan Sternagel: “You mentioned adding water and drinking it immediately. I have an infant where I was going to add drops to breast milk, but it gets fed through the G tube. Would we just administer it into the G tube so it doesn’t sit?”

Ian Clark: Yes, just tiny amounts—like for an infant, you’re talking about one drop because they’re so small. The breast milk is so awesome, and if the mom is using the iodine, it’s going to help to enhance the breast milk. For pregnant moms or prenatal, it’s great for getting the body ready. For pets, definitely—they love it. It’s easy with pets, you just put straight drops in their food, and it helps with their breath, their dental health, and a whole number of things.

Also, for skin issues, when you’re using the iodine on your skin, let it sit there for 30 seconds to a minute, then put on a good quality moisturizer because, over time, iodine can dry the skin a little bit. You’d have to use it for a long time, but people should use moisturizers anyway.

[01:20:19] Addressing SIBO and H. Pylori: The Potential Role of Iodine in Digestive Health

Ryan Sternagel: “You mentioned digestive disorders clearing up. Any experience or feedback from people with SIBO?”

Ian Clark: Yes, from SIBO, H. pylori, all those things—there are different protocols for those, like mastic gum and various other things. Iodine goes after them because it doesn’t discriminate. It goes after things that shouldn’t be there and is very reactive with them. We have not done any clinical trials to validate that SIBO and H. pylori have been eradicated. We have various anecdotal testimonials, but there’s no validity to anything anecdotal to say, “Yes, that’s going to work for this person over here.” The symptoms that show up—are very real, measurable things like SIBO and H. pylori, but we have seen wonderful results with them. However, there are no guarantees.

[01:21:17] The Ocean’s Nutritional Power: Seaweed, Coastal Living, and Accessing Sea Minerals Inland

Ryan Sternagel: “Joel’s asking about your feelings about consuming seaweeds every day.” I would tack onto that. You talk about the ocean a lot, the ocean water, and all that good stuff; Should we all be living on the coast in an ideal world? Why are humans landlocked? The majority of humans have no access to the ocean, yet so much of your product line and everything you talk about is derived from the ocean. What’s the deal there? And be sure to touch on seaweed too in your answer.

Ian Clark: Seaweed, depending on where it’s grown, is going to be more or less contaminated. That’s the only consideration there. You’re going to get iodide from those seaweeds, which converts to iodine hormones through the thyroid if the thyroid’s working well.

Living near the coast, depending on which coast, can be problematic; A lot of coasts are extremely polluted. You would think the California coast would be ideal. I have friends who surf in Malibu because they love the waves, but it is one of the most toxic places on earth. They get ear infections, they get sick all the time, but they don’t care—they just want to surf. They’re not as concerned about their health, but I don’t like living near the coast; You get the negative ions coming off the ocean, which is cool, but I haven’t seen any evidence that people live longer near the ocean than those who don’t because of all the pollutants. The shores are where the accumulation of all the crap comes in. The midsection of the ocean is not contaminated, but the very bottom and the very top are contaminated. I don’t see a huge value other than that it’s a beautiful place—yes, aesthetically, and for surfing, swimming in the ocean is very cool, no question.

Ryan Sternagel: I guess I was asking more from an essential nutrient standpoint. Pretend we live in a pristine world with no pollution and all that stuff, but so much of the stuff you’re talking about comes from the ocean. Where’s the disconnect there? Humans living inland, someone living in the Midwest, don’t have access to those minerals.

Ian Clark: The pure luxury of being in a coastal location and the aesthetics is off the charts. It is by far the most beautiful place you could choose to live if you could get near a good-quality coast. There are lots of great places in the world that are beautiful and clean—you just have to pick them, buy them, and go there if you want to live there. That is an amazing lifestyle, no question. It’s wonderful all the way around because the aesthetics are pleasurable. Anything pleasurable to your vision—the sunsets, the crashing waves, the sound, the negative ions in the air, the fact that you can go into the ocean and swim and absorb the minerals—is incredible.

However, you can transport sea minerals—purified, certified—all over the world, anywhere you are, and you’re going to get a massive benefit from that, even more than someone who lives near the ocean but doesn’t consume all the stuff. It’s the consumption that gives you the benefit more than anything else. I love anything to do with water. The factory I’m standing in right now, that we have in Cobourg, is on Lake Ontario, which is not that clean, but it’s near the water. It’s 45 miles of blue ocean-looking water across Rochester, New York. My whole life, ever since I was 2 years old, I’ve been on the water. My parents fell heir to my grandfather’s island up in Georgian Bay. I’m a water baby from birth. I just think being near water, being on the water, there’s a huge element to that—of consciousness, inspiration, and flow. I absolutely love anything to do with bodies of water.

[01:25:41] Using Iodine to Clean Fruits and Vegetables: Effective Dosage and Techniques

Ryan Sternagel: “I’ve heard that one could use a drop of iodine in a bowl to clean fruits and vegetables, and that would be powerful enough to do it. Is that a myth or true? If it is true, any actual dosage guidelines?” Is it just a drop, or what’s the deal there?

Ian Clark: With the Perfect Iodine, you would put a full dropper, not just one drop. It definitely works wonders. There are several different things you can add, ozone is probably the ultimate. If you have a little ozone machine, you just ozonate the water and put your veggies in; That’s one of the most powerful ways because it gets rid of a lot of the stuff on there, or you can even add iodine with it, but iodine is a cleanup tool for the external part of fruits and vegetables because it does carpet bomb the stuff. I would use more than one drop.

[01:26:30] Timing Solaris with Supplements: Recommended Gaps for Optimal Results

Ryan Sternagel: “With the Solaris, what’s the gap? You mentioned taking it away from supplements and medications. Karen asked if two hours is long enough, or what’s the minimum amount of time there?”

Ian Clark: If you take Solaris, you’ve got to wait 20 to 30 minutes before you take your supplement because the Solaris goes in and that’s it—or wait 20 minutes after. 20 to 30 minutes is the minimum rule of thumb. Set your alarm, and then after the iodine—since the iodine should be on an empty stomach—you’re only 30 minutes away from supplements or food after the Solaris. You just want to get it into your system.

[01:27:13] Iodine for Pets: An Essential Element for All Living Beings

Ryan Sternagel: I think we get the pet question with every product we talk about: “Are these products good for pets? Do they need the iodine?”

Ian Clark: Iodine is a fuel for all living beings, whether plants, animals, humans, circuit boards, or tires. Iodine is an essential element for all of us.

[01:27:38] Supporting the Body’s Natural Detox: Addressing Congestion and Infection

Ryan Sternagel: There was a COVID question: “Any kind of COVID preventative?” Obviously, that gets into a whole ball of wax about what COVID is and all that stuff, but I don’t know, anything to say there?

Ian Clark: The term COVID became the new lingo for infection, which I call congestion. I have no issue with being congested if I’m expelling things. If I’m running a super high fever, which I don’t, because I don’t get sick—but if I were, I’d let the fever do its work. If I don’t like the symptoms, say if a person has a burning throat, nasal passages that are on fire, heavy breathing, coughing up fluorescent phlegm, losing their sense of smell—believe me, I had those symptoms for years when I was younger because I was such an unhealthy person. I had rheumatic fever when I was one and was on penicillin from then until I was 27 years old. Every time I had strep throat, I was on penicillin. I took tetracycline for cystic acne. My body was so hammered, and that’s why I almost died when I was 46.

The term COVID, to me, became a sort of religious term for believing in this new thing you’re supposed to be afraid of. When people say COVID, I know what they mean—congestion, infection, something in your body that’s bothering you, messing with your oxygen levels, making you feel unwell, feeling crappy, maybe even laying in bed. But I had all those symptoms far worse than anybody I’ve ever heard of when I was younger, so I guess I could have called that COVID, but I don’t—it’s just a purging time. All of these things help to amplify the purging.

We have a product called Perfect Immune. It’s an extract from a geranium root in the South African mountains, wildcrafted. It doesn’t matter whether you’re sick or not—you take it, and it gets your mucous membranes to flow clean because when the mucous membranes get jammed up from pollutants, they don’t work well. When you’re expelling stuff, you want to expel a ton of it. I’ve gone through my detoxes where my lungs put out tons of stuff, and a bunch of stuff comes out through my sinuses, which I think is amazing because I don’t get sick, have a temperature, or a sore throat, it’s just a purging thing because my body is going through that phase of getting rid of the stuff. I encourage that. I don’t take iodine to try to stop that, but I’m always doing things that support the body’s ability to evacuate garbage. Most of it goes out through the digestive tract and elimination system or the skin. The COVID thing or whatever is just infections, so it’s about clear support to get rid of symptoms.

[01:30:43] Achieving Youthful Skin: Iodine for Wrinkles and Other Skin Benefits

Ryan Sternagel: “You mentioned a nice glow from iodine on the face; What about wrinkles?”

Ian Clark: It significantly supports wrinkle reduction, that’s why we call it “Young Skin.” We’re going to roll out a brand of that exact Perfect Iodine, it’s going to be on youngskin.com, which we registered because it definitely helps the skin achieve a more youthful appearance. Guys like you and me—I don’t do it often enough. I should because my appearance should be topped up. I do use iodine, but I don’t do it every single day twice. I tend to detox through my skin. It gets rid of blackheads, and whiteheads, and lets the pores shrink. It does a whole bunch of wonderful things when used regularly.

I also use black cumin seed oil—just the tiniest amount on wet hands and smooth it all over my skin. That prevents sunburns and protects against sun damage. I don’t have to use any SPF. I was just down in Cancun for five days, getting baked in the sun with black cumin oil, and came back with an absolutely beautiful tan. Years ago, I would have burnt to a crisp if I hadn’t put on some major SPF, but I don’t like SPFs. I just did a little video on TikTok—a 1.5-minute video talking about that, and within a couple of weeks, it had 4.7 million views. It’s an interesting subject, people certainly like that one. People want a natural preventative. Taking this stuff internally also helps alleviate those problems.

Same thing with mosquito bites. If you get a mosquito bite, put the iodine on it; It gets rid of the itch within seconds. It doesn’t prevent the bite, but black cumin taken internally and rubbed on the skin repels mosquitoes. They don’t like landing on skin that has it on there. If I keep thinking, I’ll come up with more stuff, but maybe we don’t want to get off track.

Ryan Sternagel: “There’ve been more questions about how to take it, how much to take, and all that.” I feel like we’ve answered that in a million different ways, guys. Ian’s got a lot of important things to be doing. I don’t want to ask him the same question 10 or 100 different ways. Start slow, see how you feel, and work your way up. He takes a tablespoon a day—maybe not the maximum, but that’s what he’s worked himself up to; There’s your range.

[01:33:20] Combatting Mold Illness: How Iodine and Solaris Tackle Fungal Infections

Ryan Sternagel: “Mold illness: We talked about infections and all that, but I don’t know if we talked about mold specifically. I imagine this would be helpful to someone with a mold problem.”

Ian Clark: Hugely—mold is also a fungus and fungus is mold, it’s just another expression of it. Iodine goes in and carpet bombs fungal infections, which include mold. Mold hates iodine, and iodine loves wrecking mold. A lot of conditions like Crohn’s are fungal-related. Yeast overgrowth, including fungal infections, can develop into serious, life-threatening digestive situations if not dealt with. You’ll find major results in the body’s ability to fight that stuff off. The body is always fighting it—it just doesn’t always have the raw material it needs to do so. Iodine is a fuel for the body to fight that crap out. The cumulative effect is where people get leaky guts. Heavy metals are a massive problem if you’re recirculating them through a leaky gut, causing brain malfunction and all kinds of issues. Iodine deals with heavy metals—combined with Solaris, they’re a number one, number two massive punch.

[01:34:43] Best Practices for Taking Iodine: Timing, Food Interactions, and Final Insights

Ryan Sternagel: “Any concerns with taking it at the same time as anything else containing iodine, like kelp, or is that not an issue?”

Ian Clark: The only thing is, when you put something in your stomach with the iodine, it’s going to react with whatever’s in there, and then you may lose the full effect of it through the rest of your system. That’s the only concern.

Ryan Sternagel: All right, so take it away from everything else?

Ian Clark: Preferably.

Ryan Sternagel: I like it. The last comment here was, “Please have Mr. Clark back on soon.”

Ian, a pleasure as always, sir. Any parting words of wisdom?

Ian Clark: I think everyone should work on getting their courage up by being encouraged and getting their joyful mental energy up. Find ways to get happy and excited about getting healthy. Everything you tell yourself, your body, and your subconscious mind believe. Be kind to yourself, and say awesome things about yourself and everybody else behind their back.

Ryan Sternagel: Good way to be. That’s a good way to be. All right, everybody, hope you’re all having a great Friday, hope you have a great weekend, and we’ll see you next time. Thank you, Ian.

Ian Clark: Thanks a lot, Ryan. We’ll catch up with everyone later on.=
