Episode 506 dives into soil nutrition and the real-world decisions behind soil testing with Jace Whitehead of EnviroAg Laboratories, an OSU Plant & Soil Sciences grad who built a soil testing lab from his hometown roots and now supports producers across the Southern Plains. The crew breaks down what soil test “extractions” actually measure, why Mehlich-3 and Bray phosphorus numbers can disagree (especially in low pH soils), and why saturated paste is equal parts chemistry and “perfect brownie mix.” They also sort through base saturation talk, potassium response drivers, rooting depth, and why tissue test numbers can swing with weather more than soil supply.Up front, you'll also hear a quick crop update recorded at the Oklahoma Cattle Conference: wheat and canola are starting to respond, diamondback moths are showing up in canola, and the big message for 2026 is to protect flexibility—make informed fertility calls, watch moisture conditions, and don't spend like it's a “maximum yield” year if the economics don't pencil.10 TakeawaysIn 2026 economics, flexibility matters—don't lock in every fertility decision early.Use in-rich strips and real field info to guide N rates, especially in a “cost-cutting year.”Phosphorus is the troublemaker: pH and soil chemistry can make test results look contradictory.Mehlich-3 vs Bray disagreements often come down to what chemical pools each extractant can access.If pH is low, fix that first—otherwise you can “chase P” without getting the response you expect.Saturated paste is useful for salinity/salt issues, but it's a technique-sensitive, “art + science” test.Base saturation ratios sound appealing, but often don't pay to chase compared to bigger constraints.Heavy clay and shallow rooting can masquerade as “cation ratio problems”—look for the real limiting factor.Potassium response may be tied to rooting zone depth/limitations more than a simple top-6-inch soil test.Tissue test numbers can swing with the environment; treat them as clues, not automatic prescriptions.Timestamped Rundown00:00:00–00:01:35 — Welcome + episode setupDave previews the topic: soil nutrition deep dive and an interview with Jace Whitehead, OSU Plant & Soil Sciences alum and soil-testing lab owner.00:01:35–00:22:44 — Crop update (recorded Feb. 13, 2026)Wheat/canola starting to respond; moisture “patchy,” with rain hopes and a reminder not to overreact early.Nitrogen timing: don't feel forced to put “all eggs in the basket” early; use information and flexibility.Push for in-rich strips and better decision-making in a “cost-cutting year.”Pre-plant planning: soil test now for summer crops; consider partial replacement strategies on P & K if economics demand it.Canola scouting note: diamondback moth reports.Market reality check: wheat may look good but price is weak; “hot crops” might be four-legged.00:22:44–00:24:30 — Guest introductionBrian introduces Jace Whitehead and the unusual path: starting a soils lab and building sample volume through precision ag services.00:24:30–00:29:30 — Environmental testing + saturated pasteJace explains oilfield-related soil testing and salinity work; one-to-one extracts and saturated paste use cases.Brian's saturated paste explanation: “perfect brownie mix” consistency as the endpoint.00:29:30–00:36:10 — Why phosphorus tests disagree (Mehlich vs Bray)Jace raises a producer-facing problem: Bray numbers low at low pH while Mehlich can run higher.Brian breaks down the chemistry: extractants differ in what forms they pull, and acidity complicates interpretation.Practical takeaway: address pH first; be cautious about overconfidence in a single number.00:36:10–00:40:45 — Business realities + soil trendsJace talks scale (thousands of samples/year) and why “one-off” conversations are hard to fund at low per-sample pricing.Trend discussion: rotation can drive better management attention to pH and nutrients; canola helped push rotation thinking.00:40:45–00:49:30 — Base saturation, K response, and rooting depthBase saturation & ratios: strong theory, but often weak economic payoff to chase in practice.High-magnesium soils: often a “correlation not causation” story tied to heavy clay/rooting restrictions.Big idea: we've over-focused on a 6-inch slice; better fertility management looks at the rooting zone and limiting layers.Tech wish list: on-the-go tools (even GPR-style concepts) to map depth/limitations.00:49:30–00:57:15 — What it means for producers + tissue testing reality“Find trusted advisors” who can handle both plant and soil chemistry questions, and keep asking questions.Tissue tests: Brian explains how nutrient concentrations can swing with weather/conditions, making blanket recs risky.

Son symbole chimique, c'est le K. Le potassium, cet élément à l'aspect blanc métallique, serait d'une importance vitale… Et c'est ce que nous rappelle Jean-Marie Defossez, conférencier, auteur et titulaire d'un doctorat en biologie animale, spécialisé en physiologie. Le potassium est un sel minéral dont nous parlons trop peu et qui pourtant aurait les pouvoirs de révolutionner bien des domaines de notre santé et de notre bien-être. Apportons-nous suffisamment de potassium à notre corps ? Où va-t-on trouver le potassium dont nous avons besoin ? Et que va-t-il changer en nous ? Le potassium serait-il de l'or en barre pour notre vie ? Pour aller plus loin : Lire Les bienfaits insoupçonnés du potassium de Jean-Marie Defossez (éd. Eyrolles)

Today’s episode of Ask the Doctor was hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton. Ask the Doctor is the longest-running live, syndicated medical talk show in the United States, broadcasting coast-to-coast for over 33 years. We opened the show discussing the massive global whey protein shortage. Whey protein is extremely difficult to obtain worldwide due to increased demand from patients using GLP-1 receptor drugs, who are being advised to consume higher protein intake to prevent muscle loss. In addition, major corporations such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ have purchased large quantities of whey protein for functional and sports drinks. Because of this shortage, Fortifeye Fit Pro is currently on backorder, though other Fortifeye whey protein products remain available, and we are actively working to secure supply. We then discussed black currant seed oil and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and why GLA may be a missing fatty acid in the modern diet. Fortifeye now offers Black Currant Seed Oil + GLA in a 90-count bottle. GLA helps support dry eye by stimulating Series-1 prostaglandins, which play an important role in controlling inflammation. Dr. Lange reviewed his clinical experience using Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy, which combines: • Fortifeye Super Omega (RTG-form omega-3) • Fortifeye Focus • Fortifeye Black Currant Seed Oil + GLA This three-supplement combination has been very effective in helping reduce dry eye symptoms and improve overall ocular comfort. We also discussed the end of the BOGO on Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein. While the BOGO promotion has ended, this remains one of the top vegan proteins on the market, offering an amino acid profile comparable to whey protein, outstanding taste, and three delicious flavors. In addition, we covered exciting new research on carotenoids including lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin. These nutrients may help lower triglycerides and cholesterol, support brain health and mood, and may even help with depression. These carotenoids are beneficial for children and adults, supporting not only eye health but systemic and cognitive health as well. All three carotenoids are found together in Fortifeye Focus. We explained what photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) is and how it works. PBM uses specific wavelengths of low-level red and near-infrared light to stimulate mitochondrial function, increase cellular energy (ATP), improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. As more companies bring this technology to market, increased competition is expected to drive costs down, making this promising therapy more accessible to patients. Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton shared their enthusiasm for photobiomodulation therapy as a supportive treatment option for macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and dry eye disease. Dr. Kane has noted that when diet and supplementation are optimized, this technology may work even more effectively, reinforcing the importance of combining advanced technology with proper nutrition. Dr. Summerton also weighed in on chelation therapy, explaining how reducing toxic metal burden and oxidative stress may further support cellular health, circulation, and inflammation control. When used appropriately and combined with nutrition and lifestyle optimization, chelation therapy may enhance overall systemic and ocular health. An important discussion followed on the often-overlooked connection between dry eye disease and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Dr. Lange explained that many patients with both conditions commonly share deficiencies in: • Magnesium • Potassium • Sodium chloride • Omega-3 fatty acids • Hydration These deficiencies may contribute to inflammation, nerve dysfunction, poor tear quality, impaired circulation, and cardiac rhythm instability.

High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for deaths globally. But what if your blood pressure numbers were only part of that story? In this episode, we're joined by leading cardiologist Dr Sanjay Gupta, who explains why blood pressure is not a disease, but often a scream for help. Together with ZOE's Chief Scientist, Professor Sarah Berry, he explores when blood pressure is a harmless response to stress, food, or movement, and when it signals real, long-term damage. You'll learn why blood pressure targets aren't universal, why worrying can make things worse, and why quality of life matters as much as numbers. This episode also breaks down what you can do to lower your blood pressure. Not quick fixes. Not pills. But everyday lifestyle changes that address the root cause. If your blood pressure is your body sending a message, what might it be asking you to change? Unwrap the truth about your food

Definition and Sources of Oxalates- Oxalates are natural compounds produced by plants and found in various foods. - High consumption of oxalates can lead to toxicity, particularly affecting calcium absorption. - Common sources of oxalates include sweet potatoes, spinach, and certain nuts, which can exacerbate health issues.Health Implications of Oxalates- Excessive oxalate consumption can correlate with numerous health problems, including kidney stones and connective tissue disorders. - Sally Norton shares her personal journey, linking her health issues to oxalate intake, particularly from sweet potatoes. - There is a growing recognition that many individuals may be affected by oxalate toxicity, often without awareness.Dietary Recommendations - A low-oxalate diet is crucial for managing health issues related to oxalates, especially for individuals with a history of kidney stones. - Increasing calcium intake can help mitigate oxalate absorption in the intestines, thus promoting excretion. - Foods high in citrate, such as lemon juice, can also support kidney health and help prevent stone formation.Role of Supplements- Vitamin C and collagen supplementation can elevate endogenous oxalate production, which can worsen oxalate-related health issues. - Calcium supplements are beneficial but should be approached cautiously to avoid exacerbating oxalate dumping symptoms. - Potassium is essential for restoring health impacted by oxalates, aiding in vascular and kidney function.Symptoms and Management of Oxalate Dumping- Oxalate dumping can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, fatigue, and changes in mood, often exacerbated by dietary changes. - Strategies for managing oxalate dumping include carefully timed oxalate intake and monitoring bodily responses. - Observing physical signs such as cloudy urine or skin irritations can indicate oxalate clearing and guide dietary adjustments.Long-Term Considerations and Conclusions - Understanding the long-term impact of oxalate consumption is still evolving, with limited longitudinal studies available. - The complexity of oxalate-related health issues necessitates a personalised approach, as individual responses vary. - Continuing education on oxalates is crucial, as many dietary guidelines may promote foods high in oxalates, potentially harming health.00:07 - Oxalates are natural compounds that can cause health issues when consumed in excess.02:24 - Dietitians are undervalued, leading to misperceptions about the importance of nutrition.06:39 - Health consequences of misunderstood dietary advice on oxalate-rich foods.08:43 - Oxalates can lead to connective tissue disorders and chronic pain.13:14 - Oxalates and uric acid contribute to kidney stones and gout inflammation.15:16 - Oxalate dumping can cause extreme discomfort and requires mitigation strategies.19:06 - Understanding oxalate management in a carnivore diet.20:53 - Tea strength and citrate are key for managing oxalate levels.24:30 - Dietary shifts impact metabolism and may lead to tooth sensitivity.26:21 - Oxalates can significantly impact heart and kidney health.30:02 - Calcium helps excrete oxalates but requires careful management.31:45 - Oxalate affects calcium regulation and can be managed with dietary adjustments.

The Nutrition Facts Panel contains more than calories and macronutrients. In this episode, the focus shifts to micronutrients, percent Daily Values, and how to use this information without confusion or overwhelm.   This second episode in a two-part series explains why certain vitamins and minerals appear on the label, what nutrients of concern really mean, how sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and vitamin D fit into daily intake, and how to interpret percent Daily Value in a practical way.   You will learn why the label uses a 2,000-calorie reference, what 5 percent and 20 percent Daily Value actually tell you, why some nutrients have no %DV at all, and how to use the label as a comparison tool rather than a scorecard.   If the Nutrition Facts Panel has ever felt unclear or misleading, this episode helps put the numbers in context so they support better overall patterns rather than creating stress.   Read More: Nutrition Facts Panel Part 1: Serving Sizes, Servings Per Container, and Calories Read More: Nutrition Facts Panel Part 2: Fats, Cholesterol, Carbohydrates, and Protein Read More: Nutrition Facts Panel Part 3: Sodium, Potassium, and Other Vitamins and Minerals Read More: Nutrition Facts Panel Part 4: % Daily Value and Other Information Learn more or contact me: ShelleyRael.com Schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory call today to discover how I can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

You'll learn: • Why long-term carnivore can lower thyroid function, reduce microbial diversity, raise stress hormones, and stall progress.• The proper metabolic preparation before starting carnivore (low carb → keto → carnivore).• The hidden inflammation caused by pasteurized dairy — and why goat, sheep, and raw A2 dairy are superior.• Exactly how to break carnivore without wrecking your gut, including the 72-hour reintroduction rule.• The difference between clean animal fats and inflammatory PUFA-heavy meats.• How to hit the right protein target to avoid muscle loss and metabolic slowdown.• The importance of nose-to-tail nutrition and where to source clean meats.• Why electrolytes are non-negotiable and the signs you're depleted.• How stress, sleep, and cortisol determine whether carnivore works at all.• The reminder that carnivore is a tool — not the whole toolbox. Ben also answers listener questions about constipation, duration of carnivore, and why a minority of people truly thrive long-term.

Get My Brand Masterlist ⁠https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Episode Description You trust the electrolyte label that says "clean hydration" and "pure minerals." But a shocking new investigation reveals most brands can't prove it. Dr. Christian Gonzalez reached out to 33 of the biggest electrolyte companies—including Liquid I.V., LMNT, Ultima, Nuun, and Trace Minerals—with one simple request: show proof your minerals are tested for heavy metals, PFAS, mold, and contaminants through Certificates of Analysis (COAs). The results? Twenty-five brands disappeared, dodged questions, or flat-out refused to respond. Only EIGHT companies could stand behind their claims with real data. This isn't about being picky—it's about protecting your cellular function, nervous system, and hormonal balance from daily toxic exposure. When you consume contaminated electrolytes multiple times a day, you're compounding exposure to chemicals that disrupt every electrical signal in your body, from mood regulation to heartbeat. The hidden contaminants lurking in popular electrolyte powders: • PFAS (Forever Chemicals) linked to hormonal imbalance, thyroid disruption, and immune dysfunction • Heavy metals including arsenic, lead, and cadmium that accumulate in tissues and impair detoxification • Mold and bacterial contamination from compromised mineral sourcing and manufacturing • Synthetic fillers like artificial sweeteners, colors, and flow agents that burden your liver • Toxic packaging that makes the container itself part of the contamination problem In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez exposes the 2025 Electrolyte Purity Audit and reveals: • The full list of 33 brands tested—and which ones refused to respond or failed safety standards • The ONLY 8 electrolyte brands that passed with transparency, clean COAs, and verified testing • Why major names like Liquid I.V., Ultima, Nuun, Dr. Berg, and Thorne couldn't (or wouldn't) provide proof • The marketing manipulation behind "clean hydration" and "pure mineral" claims • How to identify truly clean electrolytes and protect yourself from daily mineral contamination • The cellular damage, hormonal disruption, and nervous system dysfunction caused by chronic electrolyte toxin exposure This episode goes beyond hydration—it's about understanding that electrolytes control your body's cellular electricity. It's about taking back control of what you put in your body every single day, and demanding transparency from an industry built on marketing hype, not real science.

0:00 Introduction: Leg strength for longevity0:37 Leg problems that affect longevity 10:41 Type 2 diabetes 13:50 The Soleus push-up 16:40 Sitting-rising test and longevity 19:43 More tips for strong legs Did you know that your legs can give early warning signs about underlying health conditions? The older you are, the more relevant this becomes! The following conditions that affect the legs can provide insight into your longevity and overall health. 1. Peripheral neuropathyThese symptoms of numbness, pain, tingling, or burning in the bottom of the feet or fingertips are often associated with diabetes. High levels of sugar in the bloodstream destroy the vascular and nervous systems.2. Ankle and foot edema Puffy legs and ankles, or pitting edema, often signify a serious problem with circulation involving the kidney, liver, or heart.3. Restless legs syndromeThis often occurs at night and is related to the overconsumption of sugar. Interference with your sleep can decrease longevity. Dietary changes, vitamin B1, and magnesium may help improve this condition. 4. Deep vein thrombosis Clots in the legs can break off and travel to the lungs. Around 90% to 95% percent of heart attacks are caused by clots. 5. Peripheral artery disease This type of atherosclerosis goes beyond the arteries of the heart and is caused by damage to the endothelial layer of the arteries. 6. Chronic venous insufficiency This is associated with a sedentary lifestyle and puts increased pressure on the heart. 7. Sarcopenia Age-related muscle loss is one of the top predictors of mortality. Protein and exercise are vital, especially as you age. Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar issues cause problems with the inside of the arteries, which often show up in your legs first. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting can help reverse these issues, but this is often ignored by doctors. Benfotiamine and alpha-lipoic acid can also help with associated peripheral neuropathy.The soleus push-up can significantly improve your blood sugar and circulation, and the sitting-standing test is an excellent indicator of hip and core strength.Potassium, a low-carb diet, and the Soleus Push-up can all help improve edema and reduce excess water weight. Increasing nitric oxide supports the inner walls of the arteries, and consistent exercise and a sufficient amount of sleep can help strengthen the legs and increase longevity.

You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs. Your body has been compensating for years using every mineral trick it has to keep your blood looking stable, and the question is whether you'll help it move from survival back into actually feeling good.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:49] What a cellular-level mineral test reveals long before blood work changes[04:57] How calcium can steady your system or silently block hormonal signals[05:51] The surprising ways low magnesium derails energy, mood, and digestion[06:52] What sodium levels expose about your stress load and resilience[18:52] How mold strips key minerals and creates the “four lows” pattern[20:26] Why arsenic and other heavy metals rise when minerals crash[32:40] What it really takes to move from mineral survival mode back to stabilityResources Mentioned:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteOther Hormone Healing episodes to listen to:Zinc deep dive | EpisodeCopper deep dive | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 1 | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 2 | EpisodeAll about the Copper IUD | EpisodeSelenium deep dive | EpisodeNothing boring about Boron | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

What if shin splints were actually a sign of a deeper systemic issues and not just a local tissue problem? In this episode of Unreal Results, I unpack how shin splints and exertional compartment syndromes often stem from more than just overuse or tight calves.  Drawing on my own personal experience and recent work with BUD/S candidates, I share how swelling, fluid stagnation, and the nervous system in the lower leg create what I call functional compartment syndrome and why the key to resolving it often starts far away from the shin itself.In this episode, you'll hear:Why low potassium contributes to swelling, compartment pressure, and muscle tightnessHow to recognize when “shin splints” are masking deeper fluid or nerve compression issuesHow stress and adrenal drive deplete key minerals like potassium and magnesiumWhy swelling management is the non-negotiable first step in lower-leg recoveryThe connection between electrolyte balance, bone health, and nervous system toneWhether you treat endurance athletes, tactical professionals, or chronic lower-leg pain cases, this episode reframes shin splints as a whole-body problem with a whole-body solution.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 3: Swelling Reduction Protocol That Works Like MagicEpisode 37: Swelling Protocol UpdateEpisode 53: Shin Splints: Beyond Overtraining & Rest - Complete GuideEpisode 79: The Deeper Impact of Plyometrics w/ Matt McInnes WatsonGet the Hy-Lyte Potassium Electrolyte Powder HERE*Learn the LTAP™ In-Person in one of my upcoming courses*This link is an Amazon affiliate link, meaning I earn a commission from any qualifying purchases that you makeConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Hydration Myths & Facts: Why Drinking Ice Water May Not Be Ideal. Nutritionist Leyla Muedin delves into the often-overlooked aspects of hydration, particularly focusing on the potential drawbacks of drinking ice-cold water. She explains the effects of excessively cold water on digestion and overall health, citing insights from experts like Dr. Harry Emrich. Leyla highlights why traditional practices and scientific evidence suggest that cool rather than cold water is more beneficial, especially during warm weather. Additionally, the episode offers practical advice on maintaining hydration through alternative methods, such as consuming water-rich fruits and vegetables, and the potential hazards of certain beverages like hot caffeinated drinks and alcohol during heat waves.

Low potassium intake is strongly linked to higher rates of depression and anxiety, making this mineral a key factor in protecting your mental health Large-scale studies from Korea, the U.S., and China all show that people who consume more potassium experience greater emotional stability and fewer mood disorders Most Americans eat nearly twice as much sodium as potassium, reversing the ratio your body needs and driving risks like memory decline, osteoporosis, and mood struggles Whole foods such as spinach, broccoli, beet greens, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and grass fed yogurt are some of the most effective ways to naturally boost your potassium levels Choosing natural salts over processed table salt and gradually replacing packaged foods with fresh produce helps restore balance, supporting steadier energy and improved resilience to stress

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog The summer of 2025, the US has experienced record heat. Most Americans have been under a severe heat warning for months, which has caused me to review the symptoms, prevention and treatment for Heat Stroke.  This summer's heat was unusual, however it may recur in the future, so we must learn to deal with the effect of prolonged exposure to dangerous heat. Heat stroke is not classically a stroke as you know it, however heat stroke is a condition of a different kind, but no less deadly.  The conditions that can lead to heat stroke are listed below. Please think of these signs of Heat Stroke before you go outside in severe heat. At Risk Conditions for heat Stroke: High ambient temperature High body temperature (body temp of 104 or more) High humidity, Prolonged sun exposure (more than an hour at a time) Dehydration Loss of electrolytes through sweating which can result in heart attacks, seizures delirium and can lead to death. The hot weather we have been experiencing has been prolonged and has  all the qualities described above that may lead to heat stroke: Temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, High Humidity (over 50%), Bright sunshine, causing body temp to rise rapidly and continue for a long time even after a person has gone inside to cool off in air conditioning. You Should be aware of the beginning signs of heat stroke so you can remove yourself from the heat before it becomes an emergency, and you can protect your family from heat stroke. The early signs/symptoms of heat stroke include: Heavy sweating/ or no sweating at all Thirst Weakness of muscles Headache And Dizziness When you develop these symptoms, please listen to the signs your body is sending you and seek a cool place inside away from heat and sunlight. If the symptoms don't resolve quickly, then take the steps below to prevent progression of symptoms to result in heat stroke. Lie down (heat stroke can cause you lose consciousness and hurt yourself if you pass out) Drink cool but not cold water continually Drink Electrolytes (preferably products that contain Potassium, and sodium, chloride, magnesium) with every other 12oz of water. If you don't have electrolytes, Gatorade can be substituted for electrolytes (It is only Potassium). If you are unprepared and away from civilization, put several shakes of salt into a glass of cool water and drink it. Apply icepacks on the areas of the body that can cool you quickly: Underarms, groin, and neck. This will cool your body down faster than just sitting in a cool space. Don't be alone. Ask someone to sit with you in case you pass out or seize, and they can call 911 to take you to the ER. They can also make sure you continue to drink water and take electrolytes. If you feel your headache or weakness getting worse call 911 yourself. That is a late sign of Heat Stroke. Lastly, Heat stroke can make a person act out, with a temporary personality change. The affected person can hit and push the people trying to help him or her. That means they are in the late stage of heat stroke, and they need IV fluids a cooling blanket and Medical help. Remember, heat stroke can be deadly, and immediate action must be taken. If you or someone else has the following symptoms, then Call 911: passes out or seizes, gets confused and wanders around, acts out and hits or pushes has a rapid heart rate, has a bounding pulse, has either hot dry or very damp skin, complains of a headache or dizziness, nausea, vomiting rapid shallow breathing, like panting Often, they will complain of feeling cold and they shiver even though the temperature is very hot. Don't Wait!  call 911! In these cases, tell the 911 operator that you suspect heat stroke. So how do you prevent heat stroke? There are many ways to prevent heat stroke, if you recognize the conditions outside will put you at risk. First determine whether you are at high risk (below are the risks). Anyone can get heat stroke but people with the following conditions will develop heat stroke faster and more severely than healthy young individuals. The following conditions should best be treated by staying in a cool area inside away from the sun. Know the Symptoms of heat stroke and follow the directions listed above. Prepare yourself for heatstroke by carrying electrolytes more water than you think you will need, plastic zip locks to put ice in if needed High Risk Medical Conditions and Medications  Previous History of a Heat Stroke The biggest risk for heat stroke is having had it in the past.  People who have a history of heat stroke should be extra careful to avoid going outside or exercising in the heat and humidity.  They should stay inside during the heat of the day or on days that put them at risk. If you have almost had a mild form that you acted promptly and were able to avert the severe symptoms, that still makes you at risk for heat stroke. Heart Disease or other Circulatory medical conditions Diseases of the circulatory system place you at risk for getting a more severe form of heat stroke more quickly, so limit your time in the heat. Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Imbalance, from genetics or medications Disease of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that cause excessive fluid loss due to sweating or increased body heat can cause you to develop heat stroke with less time in the heat and sun.  These conditions affect your ability to sweat, which is the way humans cool themselves down. Patients with these diseases don't sweat to cool yourself down like other people.  Stay inside until the temperature and humidity is safer. Age above 50 We all know that we are not as physically able as we age, even if we use testosterone pellets, so older age is a risk factor. Please limit your time outside in dangerous conditions to one hour at a time with 10 minutes or more inside a cool place before going back outside.  Medications that put you at risk for heat stroke when exposed to heat and humidity You may be unaware of the risk that some medications have when it comes to heat stroke.  Medications are part of our lives and most of the time we don't think about them causing problems or side effects, but many types of relatively safe medications can cause you to have heat stroke when the other folks around you are completely normal. My Experience with Heat Stroke I was playing golf in August in St. Louis, when the starting temperature at 8:30 am was 88 degrees F, and the humidity was 65%.  Being me, I thought to myself,” Well I'm in good shape because I have minimal body fat and good muscles, I should be able to golf with 3 other women even in this heat.” That day the humidity increased to 80% and the temp was over 90. Then the Pro announced that we had to stay on the cart path.  Well that makes golf a lot harder…,it takes twice as many steps  during a round and it requires even more exertion than walking the course and dragging a bag behind you….but I'm not a quitter (but clearly I was not thinking about being sick and taking my life in my hands)…which means I was stupid! I want all of you to be smarter than I was! Right away I started sweating profusely so much so that I had to change my golf glove three times in 6 holes. I still felt ok, but I couldn't hit the ball as far as usual, and I continued to sweat.  Despite 7 bottles of water, 2 with electrolytes, I started getting a headache, and then I couldn't make contact with the golf ball. My balance was off….” Uh-oh,” I thought, “it's happening”….At that point I knew I had to go inside but was far away from the club house.  I continued one more hole and I was dizzy and had poor balance….so I quit, and I drove the cart back to the club house not finishing the 9 holes. I sat inside, drank water took another packet of electrolytes and put ice packs under my arms and laid down in the women's locker room until my headache was bearable, but I knew I was not going to be productive the rest of the day. It took 24 hours of lying down in a cool room, drinking quarts of water and taking electrolytes, putting ice around my neck and head, and doing nothing else! I kept thinking “why did the heat and humidity affect me and not the other 3 women?” We are all in good shape for our ages 60-70, and we all exercise and lift weights as well as play golf a few times a week, so I thought about what my risk factors were. Finally, I checked out all the medications and supplements I am on and found that  some of them  put me at risk!  This incident made me look up the all the meds that can impact people and increase their risk of getting heat stroke. Medications That Increase Risk of Heat Stroke Diuretics- Spironolactone is a diuretic given to all women who take T pellets to prevent facial hair and acne. It can cause dehydration in hot weather unless enough water, and electrolytes are taken to replenish body fluids. Other reasons for taking a diuretic is hypertension, heart disease, swelling, and poor circulation.  eg Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and Maxide are diuretics. Beta Blockers- such as Metoprolol, Propranolol slow down the heartbeat and reduce blood pressure.  The actions of Beta blockers slow the cooling mechanism of the body. Antidepressants- There ae many types of antidepressants but the “Serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors” such as Lexapro, and Wellbutrin can increase the risk of Heat Stroke, but the mechanism is not known. Amphetamines like ADD medicine, Sleep Apnea drugs, and old-fashioned weight loss pills speed up the heart rate, increase baseline body temperature and decrease the body's ability to cool itself. Thyroid Replacement-Thyroid replacement increases the heat produced by muscle tissue therefore it increases body temperature. This causes a patient on thyroid to have fewer degrees to get to a critical body temperature. I will leave you with the warning that hot weather can kill you and knowing the signs and symptoms of Heat Stroke is the first step toward helping yourself and others avoid the worst consequences. If you have medical conditions or take medications that increase your risk of developing heat stroke you should spend most of your time indoors staying cool when heat and humidity is highest.

Hey guys, what you are about to listen to is an extremely graphic episode that will contain many scenes of gore, rape, human experimentation, honestly it will run the gambit. If you got a weak stomach, this episode might not be for you. You have been warned.  I just want to take a chance to say a big thanks to all of you guys who decided to join the patreon, you guys are awesome! Please leave a comment on this episode to let me know what more you want to hear about in the future. With all of that said and done lets jump right into it.   Where to begin with this one? Let start off with one of the major figures of Unit 731, Shiro Ishii. Born June 25th, 1892 in the village of Chiyoda Mura in Kamo District of Chiba Prefecture, Ishii was the product of his era. He came from a landowning class, had a very privileged childhood. His primary and secondary schoolmates described him to be brash, abrasive and arrogant. He was a teacher's pet, extremely intelligent, known to have excellent memory. He grew up during Japans ultra militarism/nationalism age, thus like any of his schoolmates was drawn towards the military. Less than a month after graduating from the Medical department of Kyoto Imperial University at the age of 28, he began military training as a probation officer in the 3rd regiment of the Imperial Guards division. Within 6 months he became a surgeon 1st Lt. During his postgraduate studies at Kyoto Imperial university he networked successfully to climb the career ladder. As a researcher he was sent out to help cure an epidemic that broke out in Japan. It was then he invented a water filter that could be carried alongside the troops.   He eventually came across a report of the Geneva Protocol and conference reports of Harada Toyoji as well as other military doctors. He became impressed with the potential of chemical and biological warfare. During WW1 chemical warfare had been highly explored, leading 44 nations to pass the Geneva Protocol or more specifically  “Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare”. Representatives from Japan were present at this conference and were involving in the drafting and signing of the Geneva Protocol, but it was not ratified in Japan at the time. Ishii's university mentor, Kiyano Kenji suggested he travel western countries and he did so for 2 years. Many nations were secretive about their research, but some places such as MIT were quite open. After his visit Ishii came to believe Japan was far behind everyone else in biological warfare research. After returning to Japan Ishii became an instructor at the Imperial Japanese Army Medical School. Japan of course lacked significant natural resources, thus it was a perfect nation to pursue biological weapons research. Ishii began lobbying the IJA, proposing to establish a military agency to develop biological weapons. One of his most compelling arguments was “that biological warfare must possess distinct possibilities, otherwise, it would not have been outlawed by the League of Nations.”   Ishii networked his way into good favor with the Minister of Health, Koizumi Chikahiko who lended his support in August of 1932 to allow Ishii to head an Epidemic Prevention Laboratory. Ishii secured a 1795 square meter complex at the Army Medical College. Yet this did not satisfy Ishii, it simply was not the type of work he wanted to do. The location of Tokyo allowed too many eyes on his work, he could not perform human experimentation. For what he wanted to do, he had to leave Japan, and in the 1930's Japan had a few colonies or sphere's of influence, the most appetizing one being Manchuria. In 1932 alongside his childhood friend Masuda Tomosada, Ishii took a tour of Harbin and he fell in love with the location.   During the 1930's Harbin was quite a cosmopolitan city, it was a major trading port and diverse in ethnicities and religions. Here there were Mongols, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, various other western groups in lesser numbers. Just about every religion was represented, it was a researcher's paradise for subjects. Ishii sought human experimentation and needed to find somewhere covert with maximum secrecy. He chose a place in the Nan Gang District of Beiyinhe village, roughly 70 kms southeast of Harbin. It was here and then he began human experimentation. One day in 1932, Ishii and the IJA entered the village and evacuated an entire block where Xuan Hua and Wu Miao intersected. They began occupying a multi-use structure that had been supporting 100 Chinese vendors who sold clothes and food to the locals. They then began drafting Chinese laborers to construct the Zhong Ma complex to house the “Togo Unit” named after the legendary admiral, Togo Heihachiro. The Chinese laborers were underpaid and under constant watch from Japanese guards, limiting their movement and preventing them from understanding what they were building, or what was occurring within the complex. The complex was built in under a year, it held 100 rooms, 3 meter high brick walls and had an electric fence surrounding the perimeter. One thousand captives at any given time could be imprisoned within the complex. To ensure absolute secrecy, security guards patrolled the complex 24/7. Saburo Endo, director of Operations for the Kwantung Army once inspected the Togo Unit and described it in his book “The Fifteen Years' Sino-Japanese War and Me”, as such:   [It was] converted from a rather large soy sauce workshop, surrounded by high rammed earth wall. All the attending military doctors had pseudonyms, and they were strictly regulated and were not allowed to communicate with the outsiders. The name of the unit was “Tōgō Unit.” One by one, the subjects of the experiments were imprisoned in a sturdy iron lattice and inoculated with various pathogenic bacteria to observe changes in their conditions. They used prisoners on death row in the prisons of Harbin for these experiments. It was said that it was for national defense purposes, but the experiments were performed with appalling brutality.The dead were burned in high-voltage electric furnaces, leaving no trace.    A local from the region added this about the complex “We heard rumors of people having blood drawn in there but we never went near the place. We were too afraid. When the construction started, there were about forty houses in our village, and a lot of people were driven out. About one person from each home was taken to work on the construction. People were gathered from villages from all around here, maybe about a thousand people in all. The only things we worked on were the surrounding wall and the earthen walls. The Chinese that worked on the buildings were brought in from somewhere, but we didn't know where. After everything was finished, those people were killed.”    Despite all the secrecy, it was soon discovered prisoners were being taken, primarily from the CCP and bandits who were being subjected to tests. One such test was to gradually drain a victim of blood to see at what point they would die. The unit drew 500 cc of blood from each prisoner every 3-5 days. As their bodies drew weaker, they were dissected for further research, the average prisoner lasted a maximum of a month. Due to the climate of Manchuria, it was soon established that finding methods to treat frostbite would benefit the Kwantung army. Ishii's team gathered human subjects and began freezing and unfreezing them. Sometimes these experiments included observing test subjects whose limbs had been frozen and severed. The Togo team reported to General Okamura Yasuji, the deputy commander in chief of the Kwantung army from 1933-1934 that the best way to treat frostbite was to soak a limb in 37 degree water. According to the testimony of a witness named Furuichi at trial done in Khabarovsk , “Experiments in freezing human beings were performed every year in the detachment, in the coldest months of the year—November, December, January and February. The experimental technique was as follows: the test subjects were taken out into the frost at about 11 o'clock at night, compelled to dip their hands into a barrel of cold water and forced to stand with wet hands in the frost for a long time. Alternatively, some were taken out dressed, but with bare feet and compelled to stand at night in the frost during the coldest period of the year. When frostbite had developed, the subjects were taken to a room and forced to put their feet in water of 5 degrees Celsius, after which the temperature was gradually increased.”   Sergeant Major Kurakazu who was with Unit 731 later on in 1940 and taken prisoner by the Soviets in 1945 stated during the Khabarovsk trial , “I saw experiments performed on living people for the first time in December 1940. I was shown these experiments by researcher Yoshimura, a member of the 1st Division. These experiments were performed in the prison laboratory. When I walked into the prison laboratory, ve Chinese experimentees were sitting there; two of these Chinese had no fingers at all, their hands were black; in those of three others the bones were visible. They had fingers, but they were only bones. Yoshimura told me that this was the result of freezing experiments.”   According to Major Karasawa during the same trial Ishii became curious about using plague as a weapon of war and captured plague infected mice to test on subjects in the Zhong Ma Complex “Ishii told me that he had experimented with cholera and plague on the mounted bandits of Manchuria during 1933-1934 and discovered that the plague was effective.”   According to Lt General Endo Saburo's diary entry on November 16th of 1933, at the Zhong Ma complex “The second squad which was responsible for poison gas, liquid poison; and the First Squad which was responsible for electrical experiments. Two bandits were used by each squad for the experiments.  Phosgene gas—5-minute injection of gas into a brick-lined room; the subject was still alive one day aer inhalation of gas; critically ill with pneumonia.  Potassium cyanide—the subject was injected with 15 mg.; subject lost consciousness approximately 20 minutes later.  20,000 volts—several jolts were not enough to kill the subject; injection of poison required to kill the subject.  5000 volts—several jolts were not enough; aer several minutes of continuous current, subject was burned to death.”    The Togo Unit established a strict security system to keep its research highly confidential. Yet in 1934, 16 Chinese prisoners escaped, compromising the Zhong Ma location. One of the guards had gotten drunk and a prisoner named Li smashed a bottle over his head and stole his keys. He freed 15 other prisoners and of them 4 died of cold, hunger and other ailments incurred by the Togo unit. 12 managed to flee to the 3rd route army of the Northeast Anti Japanese united Army. Upon hearing the horrifying report, the 3rd route army attacked the Togo unit at Beiyinhe and within a year, the Zhong Ma complex was exploded.    After the destruction of the Zhong Ma complex, Ishii needed a better structure. The Togo unit had impressed their superior and received a large budget. Then on May 30th of 1936 Emperor Hirohito authorized the creation of Unit 731. Thus Ishii and his colleagues were no longer part of the Epidemic Prevention Institute of the Army Medical School, now they were officially under the Kwantung Army as the Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department. Their new HQ was located in Pingfan, closer to Harbin. Their initial budget was 3 million yen for the personnel, 200-300 thousand yen per autonomous unit and 6 million yen for experimentation and research. Thus their new annual budget was over 10 million yen.    Pingfan was evacuated by the Kwantung army. Hundreds of families were forced to move out and sell their land at cheap prices. To increase security this time, people required a special pass to enter Pingfan. Then the airspace over the area became off-limits, excluding IJA aircraft, all violators would be shot down. The new Pingfan complex was within a walled city with more than 70 buildings over a 6 km tract of land. The complex's huge size drew some international attention, and when asked what the structure was, the scientists replied it was a lumber mill. Rather grotesquely, prisoners would be referred to as “maruta” or “logs” to keep up the charade. Suzuki, a Japanese construction company back then, worked day and night to construct the complex.    Now many of you probably know a bit about Unit 731, but did you know it's one of countless units?  The Army's Noborito Laboratory was established (1937) The Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the North China Army/ Unit 1855 was established (1938)  The Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of Central China/ Unit 1644 (1939)  Thee Guangzhou Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of South China Army/ Unit 8604 (1942)  The Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Southern Expeditionary Army/ Unit 9620 (1942).    There were countless others, detachments included Unit 1855 in Beijing, Unit Ei 1644 in Nanjing, Unit 8604 in Guangzhou, and later Unit 9420 in Singapore. All of these units comprised Ishii's network, which, at its height in 1939, oversaw over 10,000 personnel.   Victims were normally brought to Pingfan during the dead of night within crammed freight cars with number logs on top. They were brought into the building via a secret tunnel. According to a witness named Fang Shen Yu, technicians in white lab coats handled the victims who were tied in bags. The victims included anyone charge with a crime, could be anti-japanese activity, opium smoking, espionage, being a communist, homelessness, being mentally handicap, etc. Victims included chinese, Mongolians, Koreans, White Russians, Harbin's jewish population and any Europeans accused of espionage. During the Khabarovsk trial, Major Iijima Yoshia admitted to personally subjecting 40 Soviet citizens to human experimentation. Harbin's diversity provided great research data. Each prisoner was assigned a number starting with 101 and ending at 1500. Onec 1500 was reached, they began again at 101, making it nearly impossible to estimate the total number of victims. Since the complex had been labeled a lumber mill to the locals, most did not worry about it or were too afraid to do so. The prison's warden was Ishii's brother Mitsuo who made sure to keep it all a secret.    Ethics did not exist within Ishii's network of horrors. Everything was done efficiently in the name of science. Pingfang was equipped for disposing the evidence of their work in 3 large incinerators. As a former member who worked with the incinerators recalled “the bodies always burned up fast because all the organ were gone; the bodies were empty”. Human experimentation allowed the researchers their first chance to actually examine the organs of a living person at will to see the progress of a disease. Yeah you heard me right, living person, a lot of the vivisections were done on live people. As one former researcher explained "the results of the effects of infection cannot be obtained accurately once the person dies because putrefactive bacteria set in. Putrefactive bacteria are stronger than plague germs. So, for obtaining accurate results, it is important whether the subject is alive or not." Another former researcher said this “"As soon as the symptoms were observed, the prisoner was taken from his cell and into the dissection room. He was stripped and placed on the table, screaming, trying to fight back. He was strapped down, still screaming frightfully. One of the doctors stuffed a towel into his mouth, then with one quick slice of the scalpel he was opened up." Witnesses of some of these vivisections reported that victims usually let out a horrible scream when the initial cuts were made, but that the voice stops soon after. The researchers often removed the organ of interest, leaving others in the body and the victims usually died of blood loss or because of the removed organ. There are accounts of experiments benign carried out on mothers and children, because yes children were in fact born in the facilities. Many human specimens were placed in jars to be viewed by Tokyo's army medical college. Sometimes these jars were filled with limbs or organs but some giant ones had entire bodies.   Vivisection was conducted on human beings to observe how disease affected each organ once a human dies. According to testimony given by a technician named Ogawa Fukumatsu “I participated in vivisections. I did them every day. I cannot remember the amount of people dissected. At first, I refused to do it. But then, they would not allow me to eat because it was an order; gradually I changed.” Another technician Masakuni Kuri testified  “I did vivisection at the time. Experiments were conducted on a Chinese woman with syphilis. Because she was alive, the blood poured out like water from a tap.”   A report done by Shozo Kondo studied the effects of bubonic plague on humans. The number of subjects was 57 with age ranging from toddlers to 80 years old with mixed gender. The study used fleas carrying plague that were dispersed upon the local population in June of 1940 at Changchun. 7 plague victims were Japanese residents. The report stated the plague spread because of lack of immunity by the townspeople. Subjects' survival time ranged from 2-5 days, with only 3 surviving 12, 18 and 21 days. The subjects were infected with Glandular, Cutaneous or Septicemic plague, but most had the Glandular variety.     In addition to the central units of Pingfang were others set up in Beijing, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Singapore. The total number of personnel was 20,000. These satellite facilities all had their own unique horror stories. One was located in Anda, 100km from Pingfang where outdoor tests for plague, cholera and other pathogens were down. They would expose human subjects to biological bombs, typically by putting 10-40 people in the path of a biological bomb. A lot of the research was done to see the effective radius of the bombs, so victims were placed at different distances. At Xinjing was Unit 100 and its research was done against domesticated animals, horses particularly. Unit 100 was a bacteria factory producing glanders, anthrax and other pathogens. They often ran tests by mixing poisons with food and studied its effects on animals, but they also researched chemical warfare against crops. At Guangzhou was unit 8604 with its HQ at Zhongshan medical university. It is believed starvation tests ran there, such as the water test I mentioned. They also performed typhoid tests and bred rats to spread plague. Witness testimony from a Chinese volunteer states they often dissolved the bodies of victims in acid. In Beijing was Unit 1855 which was a combination of a prison and experiment center. They ran plague, cholera and typhus tests. Prisoners were forced to ingest mixtures of germs and some were vaccinated against the ailments. In Singapore after its capture in February of 1942 there was a secret laboratory. One Mr. Othman Wok gave testimony in the 1990s that when he was 17 years old he was employed to work at this secret lab. He states 7 Chinese, Indian and Malay boys worked in the lab, picking fleas from rats and placing them in containers. Some 40 rat catchers, would haul rats to the lab for the boys to do their work. The containers with fleas went to Japanese researchers and Othman says he saw rats being injected with plague pathogens. The fleas were transferred to kerosene cans which contained dried horse blood and an unidentified chemical left to breed for weeks. Once they had plague infected fleas in large quantity Othman said "A driver who drove the trucks which transported the fleas to the railway station said that these bottles of fleas were sent off to Thailand." If this is true, it gives evidence to claims Unit 731 had a branch in Thailand as well. Othman stated he never understood or knew what was really going on at the lab, but when he read in 1944 about biological attacks on Chongqing using fleas, he decided to leave the lab. Othman states the unit was called Unit 9240.  As you can imagine rats and insects played a large role in all of this. They harvested Manchuria rat population and enlisted schoolchildren to raise them. In the 1990s the Asahi Broadcasting company made a documentary titled “the mystery of the rats that went to the continent”. It involved a small group of high school children in Saitama prefecture asked local farmers if they knew anything about rat farming during the war years. Many stated everybody back then was raising rats, it was a major source of income. One family said they had rat cages piled up in a shed, each cage built to carry 6 rat, but they had no idea what the rats were being used for. Now hear this, after the war, the US military kept these same families in business. The US army unit 406 which was established in Tokyo to research viruses wink wink, would often drive out to these farms in their american jeeps collecting rats.  Getting fleas was a much tricker task. One method was taking older Chinese prisoners and quarantining them with clothes carrying flea or flea eggs and allowing them to live in isolated rooms to cultivate more fleas. These poor guys had to live in filth and not shave for weeks to produce around 100 fleas a day. Now Unit 731 dealt with numerous diseases such as Cholera.  Some experiments used dogs to spread cholera to villages. They would steal dogs from villages, feed them pork laced with cholera germs and return them to the villages. When the disease finished incubating the dogs would vomit and other dogs would come and eat the vomit spread it more and more. The dogs were also stricken with diarrhea and the feces spread it to other dogs as well. 20% of the people in villages hit by this died of the disease. Former army captain Kojima Takeo was a unit member involved in a Cholera campaign and added this testimony "We were told that we were going out on a cholera campaign, and we were all given inoculations against cholera ten days before starting out. Our objective was to infect all the people in the area. The disease had already developed before we got there, and as we moved into the village everyone scattered. The only ones left were those who were too sick to move. The number of people coming down with the disease kept increasing. Cholera produces a face like a skeleton, vomiting, and diarrhea. And the vomiting and defecating of the people lying sick brought flies swarming around. One after the other, people died." I've mentioned it a lot, Plague was a staple of Unit 731. The IJA wanted a disease that was fast and fatal, Cholera for instance took about 20 days, plague on the other hand starts killing in 3 days. Plague also has a very long history of use going back to the medieval times. It was one of the very first diseases Ishii focused on. In october of 1940 a plague attack was conducted against the Kaimingjie area in the port city of Ningbo. This was a joint operation with Unit 731 and the Nanjing based Unit 1644. During this operation plague germs were mixed with wheat, corn, cloth scraps and cotton and dropped from the air. More than 100 people died within a few days of the attack and the affected area was sealed off from the public until the 1960s.  Another horrifying test was the frostbite experiments. Army Engineer Hisato Yoshimura conducted these types of experiments by taking prisoners outside, dipping various appendages into water of varying temperatures and allowing the limbs to freeze. Once frozen, Yoshimura would strike their affected limbs with a short stick and in his words “they would emit a sound resembling that which a board gives when it is struck”. Ice was then chipping away with the affected area being subjected to various treatments, such as being doused in water, exposed to heat and so on. I have to mentioned here, that to my shock there is film of these specific frostbite experiments and one of our animators at Kings and Generals found it, I have seen a lot of things in my day, but seeing this was absolute nightmare fuel. If you have seen the movie or series Snowpiercer, they pretty much nail what it looked like.  Members of Unit 731 referred to Yoshimura as a “scientific devil” and a “cold blooded animal” because he would conduct his work with strictness. Naoji Uezono another member of Unit 731, described in a 1980s interview a disgusting scene where Yoshimura had "two naked men put in an area 40–50 degrees below zero and researchers filmed the whole process until [the subjects] died. [The subjects] suffered such agony they were digging their nails into each other's flesh". Yoshimuras lack of any remorse was evident in an article he wrote for the Journal of Japanese Physiology in 1950 where he admitted to using 20 children and 3 day old infant in experiments which exposed them to zero degree celsius ice and salt water. The article drew criticism and no shit, but Yoshimura denied any guilt when contacted by a reporter from the Mainichi Shimbun. Yoshimura developed a “resistance index of frostbite” based on the mean temperature of 5 - 30 minutes after immersion in freezing water, the temperature of the first rise after immersion and the time until the temperature first rises after immersion. In a number of separate experiments he determined how these parameters depended on the time of day a victim's body part was immersed in freezing water, the surrounding temperature and humidity during immersion, how the victim had been treated before the immersion ("after keeping awake for a night", "after hunger for 24 hours", "after hunger for 48 hours", "immediately after heavy meal", "immediately after hot meal", "immediately after muscular exercise", "immediately after cold bath", "immediately after hot bath"), what type of food the victim had been fed over the five days preceding the immersions with regard to dietary nutrient intake ("high protein (of animal nature)", "high protein (of vegetable nature)", "low protein intake", and "standard diet"), and salt intake. Members of Unit 731 also worked with Syphilis, where they orchestrated forced sex acts between infected and noninfected prisoners to transmit the disease. One testimony given by a prisoner guard was as follows “Infection of venereal disease by injection was abandoned, and the researchers started forcing the prisoners into sexual acts with each other. Four or five unit members, dressed in white laboratory clothing completely covering the body with only eyes and mouth visible, rest covered, handled the tests. A male and female, one infected with syphilis, would be brought together in a cell and forced into sex with each other. It was made clear that anyone resisting would be shot.” After victims were infected, they would be vivisected at differing stages of infection so that the internal and external organs could be observed as the disease progressed. Testimony from multiple guards blamed the female victims as being hosts of the diseases, even as they were forcibly infected. Genitals of female prisoners were infected with syphilis and the guards would call them “jam filled buns”. Even some children were born or grew up in the walls of Unit 731, infected with syphilis. One researcher recalled “one was a Chinese women holding an infant, one was a white russian woman with a daughter of 4 or 5 years of age, and the last was a white russian women with a boy of about 6 or 7”. The children of these women were tested in ways similar to the adults.  There was also of course rape and forced pregnancies as you could guess. Female prisoners were forced to become pregnant for use in experiments. The hypothetical possibility of transmission from mother to child of diseases, particularly syphilis was the rationale for the experiments. Fetal survival and damage to the womans reproductive organs were objects of interest. A large number of babies were born in captivity and there had been no accounts of any survivor of Unit 731, children included. It is suspected that the children of the female prisoners were killed after birth or aborted. One guard gave a testimony “One of the former researchers I located told me that one day he had a human experiment scheduled, but there was still time to kill. So he and another unit member took the keys to the cells and opened one that housed a Chinese woman. One of the unit members raped her; the other member took the keys and opened another cell. There was a Chinese woman in there who had been used in a frostbite experiment. She had several fingers missing and her bones were black, with gangrene set in. He was about to rape her anyway, then he saw that her sex organ was festering, with pus oozing to the surface. He gave up the idea, left and locked the door, then later went on to his experimental work.” In a testimony given on December 28 by witness Furuichi during the Khabarovsk Trial, he described how “a Russian woman was infected with syphilis to allow the scientists to and out how to prevent the spread of the disease.  Many babies were born to women who had been captured and become experimental subjects. Some women were kidnapped while pregnant; others became pregnant aer forced sex acts in the prisons, enabling researchers to study the transmission of venereal disease   Initially Unit 731 and Unit 100 were going to support Japan's Kantokuen plan. The Kantokuen plan an operation plan to be carried out by the Kwantung army to invade the USSR far east, capitalizing on the success of operation barbarossa. Unit 731 and 100 were to prepare bacteriological weapons to help the invasion. The plan was created by the IJA general staff and approved by Emperor Hirohito. It would have involved three-steps to isolate and destroy the Soviet Army and occupy the eastern soviet cities over the course of 6 months. It would have involved heavy use of chemical and biological weapons. The Japanese planned to spread disease using three methods; direct spraying from aircraft, bacteria bombs and saboteurs on the ground. This would have included plague, cholera, typhus and other diseases against troops, civilian populations, livestocks, crops and water supplies. The main targets were Blagoveshchensk, Khabarovsk, Voroshilov, and Chita. If successful the Soviet Far East would be incorporated into Japan's greater east asia co-prosperity sphere. Within Kantokuen documents, Emperor Hirohtio instructed Ishii to increase production rate at the units, for those not convinced Hirohito was deeply involved in some of the worst actions of the war. Yet in the end both Emperor Hirohito and Hideki Tojo pulled their support for the invasion of the USSR and opted for the Nanshin-ron strategy instead.    On August 9th of 1945 the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and invaded Manchuria. In response, the Japanese government ordered all research facilities in Manchuria to be destroyed and to erase all incriminating materials. A skeleton crew began the liquidation of unit 731 on August 9th or 10th, while the rest of the unit evacuated. All test subjects were killed and cremated so no remains would be found. The design of the facilities however, made them hard to destroy via bombing, several parts of the buildings left standing when the Soviets arrived. While most of the unit's staff managed to escape, including Ishii, some were captured by the soviets. Some of these prisoners told the Soviets about the atrocities committed at Pingfang and Changchun. At first the claims seemed so outrageous, the Soviets sent their own Biological Weapons specialists to examine the ruins of Ping Fang. After a thorough investigation, the Soviet experts confirmed the experiments had been done there. The real soviet investigation into the secrets of Unit 731 and 100 began in early 1946, thus information was not readily available during the Tokyo Tribunal. Both the Americans and SOviets had collected evidence during the war that indicated the Japanese were in possession of bacteriological weapons though. Amongst the 600,000 Japanese prisoners of war in the USSR, Major General Kiyoshi Kawashima and Major Tomoio Karasawa would become essential to uncovering the Japanese bacteriological warfare secrets and opening the path to hold the Khabarovsk trial. The Soviets and Americans spent quite a few years performing investigations, many of which led to no arrests. The major reason for this was similar to Operation Paperclip. For those unaware, paperclip was a American secret intelligence program where 1600 German scientists were taken after the war and employed, many of whom were nazi party officials. The most famous of course was Wernher von Braun. When the Americans looked into the Japanese bacteriological work, they were surprised to find the Japanese were ahead of them in some specific areas, notably ones involving human experimentation. General Charles Willoughby of G-2 american intelligence called to attention that all the data extracted from live human testing was out of the reach of the USA. By the end of 1947, with the CCP looking like they might defeat Chiang Kai-Shek and the Soviet Union proving to be their new enemy, the US sought to form an alliance with Japan, and this included their Bacteriological specialists. From October to December, Drs Edwin Hill and Joseph Victor from Camp Detrick were sent to Tokyo to gather information from Ishii and his colleagues. Their final conclusion laid out the importance of continuing to learn from the Japanese teams, and grant them immunity. The British were also receiving some reports from the Americans about the Japanese Bacteriological research and human experimentation. The British agreed with the Americans that the information was invaluable due to the live human beings used in the tests. The UK and US formed some arrangements to retain the information and keep it secret. By late 1948 the Tokyo War Crimes Trial was coming to an end as the cold war tension was heating up in Korea, pushing the US more and more to want to retain the information and keep it all under wraps.  With formal acceptance, final steps were undertaken, much of which was overseen by General Douglas MacArthur. On May 6, 1947, Douglas MacArthur wrote to Washington that "additional data, possibly some statements from Ishii probably can be obtained by informing Japanese involved that information will be retained in intelligence channels and will not be employed as 'War Crimes' evidence.” Ishii and his colleagues received full immunity from the Tokyo War Crimes Trial. Ishii was hired by the US government to lecture American officers at Fort Detrick on bioweapons and the findings made by Unit 731. During the Korean War Ishii reportedly traveled to Korea to take part in alleged American biological warfare activities. On February 22nd of 1952, Ishiiwas explicitly named in a statement made by the North Korean FOreign Minister, claiming he along with other "Japanese bacteriological war criminals had been involved in systematically spreading large quantities of bacteria-carrying insects by aircraft in order to disseminate contagious diseases over our frontline positions and our rear". Ishii would eventually return to Japan, where he opened a clinic, performing examinations and treatments for free. He would die from laryngeal cancer in 1959 and according to his daughter became a Roman Catholic shortly before his death.  According to an investigation by The Guardian, after the war, former members of Unit 731 conducted human experiments on Japanese prisoners, babies, and mental patients under the guise of vaccine development, with covert funding from the U.S. government. Masami Kitaoka, a graduate of Unit 1644, continued performing experiments on unwilling Japanese subjects from 1947 to 1956 while working at Japan's National Institute of Health Sciences. He infected prisoners with rickettsia and mentally ill patients with typhus. Shiro Ishii, the chief of the unit, was granted immunity from prosecution for war crimes by American occupation authorities in exchange for providing them with human experimentation research materials. From 1948 to 1958, less than five percent of these documents were transferred to microfilm and stored in the U.S. National Archives before being shipped back to Japan.

Today, I'm joined by the remarkable Dr. Robin Rose—a pioneering physician, author, and survivor who refused to accept a devastating kidney disease diagnosis as her fate. Instead of waiting for dialysis, Robin dove deep into the world of diet, detoxification, peptides, and bioregulators, turning her health crisis into a calling and culminating in her groundbreaking new book on chronic kidney disease. In our conversation, Robin shares why kidneys are often the “forgotten organ,” the real reasons so many cases of kidney decline go undetected, and how lifestyle choices—from protein intake to environmental toxins—can be both the problem and the path to healing. We get personal about the subtle symptoms, practical lab markers, and actionable steps you can take right now to protect your kidney health for the long term.   FREE GIFT: I made a free gift to thank you for listening: a quick list of my Top 5 Peptides.
