Jeffrey Smith Interviews the Inventor of Cutting Edge Healing Technologies
In today's podcast, I interview a genius inventor and integrated healthcare expert about his state-of-the-art healing devices that you may want to know about and take advantage of. To get one, go to and use the code IRT20 for 20% off. In last month’s survey of course options, the #1 most popular response was our community asking me to interview experts I respect about their health-promoting products, supplements, and protocols. Robby Besner, PSc.D, is a perfect candidate to start this off—the real deal. He’s someone with cutting edge knowledge, a knack for combining mulitiple technologies into one product, and then making it far more affordable than others’ less-effective options. You may remember that I first interviewed Robby about his amazing sauna, that combines far infrared, an extra dose of near infrared for detoxing and mitochondrial support, red light therapy, Earthing, negative ions, gemstone therapy, EMF remediation, and options for aroma and ozone—all working on your behalf while your head sticks out of the zip up sauna so you can watch a movie or work on your computer at the same time. (I keep my sauna in the living room.) I also shared an interview with Robby about his TheraPro Pad that combines even more options. (I sit on one in my office.) Many of you already enjoy these products at home. Today for the first time, Robby and I go through his entire catalog of inventions to understand what they do and which advanced technologies they incorporate. Along the way, he gives outstanding insights into a variety of health-related issues, from the longevity promoting frequencies emanating from tourmaline deposits in a remote Chinese Blue Zone village, to structuring and re-mineralizing water, to navigating electromagnetic frequencies—both the good ones and the bad ones.

The Unprecedented Dangers from GMO 2.0 - Part 2
In this 180th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast Jeffrey is in front of a Zoom audience answering questions and also discussing the new threat, GMO 2.0. GMO 2.0 mainly includes CRISPR-Cas9 and the ease with which regular, non-scientific citizens can create their own strains of genetically modified microbes. These microbes have the potential to alter the genetic structure of other microbes that have evolved over millions of years. This could wreak havoc on our environment and our own gut microbiome.

In this 179th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well, we are re-broadcasting a recent interview Jeffrey did with Nancy Pearlman of Environmental Directions Radio. Since 1977, Nancy has hosted and produced this longest running environmental radio show. In this radio show Nancy and Jeffrey discuss: The connection between GMOs and Bayer/Monsanto's chief herbicide, Roundup which contains the dangerous chemical glyphosate. How Roundup ready corn, which has been genetically modified to survive after being sprayed with Roundup, has been linked to organ damage in rats that were fed the corn. How BT Toxin corn, another genetically modified product created by Monsanto, has been linked to inflammatory bowel disease, various cancers, obesity, anxiety, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, autism, insomnia, celiac disease, kidney problems, all sorts of birth defects, intestinal infections and senile dementia. How the biotech industry has convinced the world that GMOs are needed in order to feed the planet and how this is an outright lie. What is GMO 2.0? IRT's six-minute animated journey, .

In this 178th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast, Jeffrey begins by going into detail about the fascinating world of the global and human microbiome. There are over a trillion different kinds of microbes both in our bodies and also in the world around us and science has only identified 1% of those trillions. Science is actually in the dark about 99% of those microbes and what they actually do. Even though we are ignorant of that 99% there are corporations out there introducing genetically engineered microbes into soils around the globe without understanding the ramifications of these releases.

Leaky Gut, BT Toxin and Animal Studies Showing Damage from GMOs
In this 174th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast, Jeffrey Smith discusses the potential health risks associated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the herbicide Roundup. He emphasizes the connection between leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune diseases, allergies, inflammation, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autism, suggesting that the prevalence of leaky gut may be linked to the consumption of BT corn, which contains the BT toxin. In addition, Jeffrey also speculates that BT genes from GMOs could transfer to gut bacteria, turning them into toxin-producing factories within the digestive tract. Roundup, the primary herbicide sold by Bayer/Monsanto, which contains glyphosate, may contribute to digestive disorders, cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and reproductive issues.

How a NON-GMO Organic Diet helped 3250 People Recover from 28 Disorders
In this episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast, Jeffrey speaks in front a live audience about the correlation between the rise in the use of GMO crops like Soy, Corn, Cotton, Canola, Sugar Beets and Alfalfa and the rise of many diseases over the last couple of decades. The main diseases rising in frequency among human populations are those related to digestive problems. Jeffrey points out that one of the chief characteristics of BT corn (a GMO corn) is that when the insects eat the BT corn, properties of the corn will actually eat away the stomach lining of the insect and it dies. Leaky gut or holes in the stomach lining in humans is a cause of many autoimmune diseases.

A published article in a British scientific journal that said, when consumers in Canada were given full information they chose to eat genetically modified corn. What the article didn't say is how this information that was given to Canadian consumers was prefaced with the statement, "Would you eat wormy sweet corn"? This statement was directly above the assortment of non-GMO corn and above the assortment of GMO corn there was no sign at all. This was all done by a pro-GMO group in Canada. This shows the length the biotech industry will go to in promoting their GMO products - publishing an article in a scientific journal that only presents part of the story.

In his many surveys and interviews, he consistently finds that a majority of individuals experience health improvements including better digestion, increased energy, and reduced symptoms of various conditions. In addition, eating an organic diet eliminates not only GMOs but also harmful substances like Roundup, a herbicide commonly used on GMO crops. Additionally, Jeffrey explores the impact of GMOs on animals, interviewing veterinarians who have witnessed a rise in allergies and cancer among pets since the introduction of GMOs. These veterinarians recommend changing animals' diets, leading to significant improvements in symptoms for 80 to 90% of the animals they treat.

In this episode, at a Real Truth About Health conference, Jeffrey tells some amazing stories that have been discovered during the recent and ongoing lawsuits against Bayer/Monsanto: Monsanto's "Discredit Bureau" which worked under the mission statement, "Let Nothing Go" and was a financial line item in their budget. The story of IBT or International Biotest Labs who did about 35 - 40% of all toxicology testing for industry and was considered the "go to" lab to get your pesticide approved. It was found through a DOJ investigation that about 80% of all tests run through IBT were falsified and invalid. The story of James Parry, one of the leading scientists on genotoxicity, was hired by Monsanto and declared glyphosate, the main chemical in Roundup, genotoxic. Monsanto would not accept any of his findings and hid them from the EPA. The story of Marion Copely, an EPA executive, who was dying from cancer and during her last days said that her investigation showed that there were 14 ways that glyphosate could cause cancer.

In this episode, Jeffrey talks about how, in the early Monsanto studies, rats were fed GMO corn and they developed serious issues in their physiology during this 90 day study and Monsanto decided to hide those facts when the study was released. A former Monsanto scientist became concerned because in South Africa, GMO corn was being fed to humans who, historically, have eaten corn as a regular staple in their diet. One landowner/farmer in South Africa was feeding his workers the GMO corn and many of the workers got sick with severe headaches, flu-like symptoms and inflammation; eventually, some of the workers died from eating the GMO corn.

In this episode Jeffrey tells a couple stories surrounding the myth that "GMO's are needed because they will feed the world"--a common talking point from the biotech industry that has been shown, through scientific studies, not to be true. In his first story he talks about how he sat across the table from a Monsanto molecular biologist at a Lindy Hop workshop in St. Louis (Jeffrey loves to dance). Jeffrey asks a series of pointed questions that end in no response from the biologist. In his next story, Jeffrey discusses how Monsanto convinced cotton farmers in India to buy their very expensive GMO cotton seeds. After one season, not only did the cotton seeds not produced but they caused a series of health problems and financial collapses that ended in the suicides of 250,000 farmers.

In this episode Jeffrey discusses how in 1999, during a biotech conference, Monsanto decalred that within 5 years they wanted to create a world in which 100% of all commercial seeds would be genetically engineered and patented. They did not achieve that goal mainly becasue of one person, Arpad Puzstai whose research confirmed the dangers of GMOs to human health. Besides Arpad nobody else was talking about the dangers of GMOs to human health and so Jeffrey's main task then, and still is today, is to discredit the biotech industry and to make the public aware of the dangers of GMOs.

The Real Truth About Gene Editing - 7 Things That Can Go Wrong
Gene editing is a new form of creating genetically engineered crops, and it is cheap and it is easy. This means that the number of GMOs that could be introduced, not only into our food supply, but into the environment, can be catastrophically large. One critical issue with GMOs, including genetic editing, is that it is prone to side effects. The biotech industry wants to pretend that gene editing is safe and predictable and just like breeding, and they've convinced governments, in some cases, to turn a blind eye. In this episode Jeffrey will share with you the real truth about gene editing and the seven reasons why things can go wrong in the process. The 7 reasons: Cutting the wrong place Sloppy repair Mixing genes Mutant proteins Insertion damage Mutations from the process Epigentic inheritance IRT has created an excellent video with educational graphics that give a clear and understandable breakdown of this complicated technology.

In this episode, Jeffrey gathers with the community of Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island to give a presentation on the existential threat that has been brought on by GMO 2.0. Some of the points he covers: At this point in time we now know that 51% of Americans and 48% of the world's consumers now believe that GMO foods are unsafe. This is critical because this is the tipping point IRT has been working towards for the last 25 years. There are 3 main threats to health in the production of GMOs that we need to be concerned with: -> The creation of GMO foods causes massive collateral damage in the DNA which can lead to allergens, toxins, carcinogens, and new diseases. -> Some GMOs are created to in order to withstand sprays of Roundup which would normally kill them. That Roundup is absorbed into the food that we eat and Roundup has been named as a probable carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) -> There are certain types of GMO corn that produce a toxin that will kill insects when they eat the corn. We eat this toxin when we eat the GMO corn and this toxin has been known to poke holes in human cells which can lead to leaky gut. The outright lies, deception and rigged research that Monsanto/Bayer has committed over the past decades in order to change public policy at the FDA in favor of GMO foods. With new technologies such as CRISPR, gene editing has become easy and cheap to perform. With these technologies readilly available a high school science student could create an organism that could wipe out species. And much more.

What Caused the European Food Industry to Commit to Stop Using GMOs?
In this episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast Jeffrey begins by telling the story of how some animals refuse to eat GMO feed. In addition, he also tells the frightening story of Arpad Pusztai, the scientist and leading researcher in his field who was fired and had a gag order placed on him for revealing the science on the dangers of GMOs. And even more interesting, is how Arpad's research led to the European Union committing to stopping the use of GMOs. The Institute for Responsible Technology is working to protect you & the World from GMOs (and while we’re at it, Roundup®...)

What is GMO 2.0?
In today's episode Jeffrey is a featured on the If you’ve been part of our IRT community for a while, you probably have some friends and family you would LOVE to bring on board—with their diet, their understanding of GMOs, and the new issues related to gene editing. But face it, we often have zero credibility left for close friends who’ve heard us talking about this for years—and haven’t budged. You probably gave up trying (or perhaps they quietly excuse themselves when you try yet again.) Jeffrey's advice: Don’t try this at home. It won’t work. Let Jeffrey do it for you. That’s right. Give him a chance to engage and let’s see if it finally does the trick. That’s why he created this episode. It’s a faced-paced delivery of the essential points about GMOs, Roundup, eating organic, Monsanto’s lies, the FDA’s collusion, GMO 2.0, the threat to future generations, and the urgency of protecting the microbiome. He was planning to present this straight to a camera, but Jeffrey's close friend Robert Scott Bell invited him on his show this week. So he decided to hijack the interview and turn it into this episode, which you can give as a gift to your friends and family this year.
