Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of Couple of Nukes. As always, I'm your host, Mr. Whiskey, and for those of you listening, not watching, I am at sea. I would say back at sea, but I got the great honor of being in Newport News shipyard refuel and overhaul, so I did not go out to sea. I could see The sea, but I did not get to experience the wonderful rocking and rolling of the ways.
That's because we are having a nautical themed episode in terms of we have some Navy personnel on the show with me, but we're going to be talking about stuff that can apply to your life wherever you are, whether military or not. And I do have a little rant related to the Navy. Somewhat. It's related to Admiral Rickover, founder of the Nuclear Navy, and it actually has to do with my dinner.
I just got back from a brand new restaurant that opened up here in Savannah called Wexford Irish Pub. They imported the entire restaurant from Ireland itself and built it. So pretty cool. And my grandfather came for an unexpected survivor's visit. It was a great time. Except everyone who was there at the dinner with us, including the waitresses made a big deal about me not wanting dressing on my salad.
And this has happened everywhere I go. I eat salad plain. I even put a little salt on it, which makes people even angrier, because they usually eat it for health. I just, I ate it to be healthy, but I don't put dressing, so I put a little salt maybe, or I just eat it plain. And for some reason, people insist on they have all these different options.
Ranch, Thousand Island, and surely there must be something. And is the restaurant doing something wrong? And the reason I say it's related to Admiral Rickover, founder of the nuclear navy, is how he would interview people for the navy. He only wanted, you know, these elite people. Well, quote, he found people who were worthless and, and gave them skills.
They weren't talented people, but there's a lot of quotes. And the stories are that he would do these crazy interviews. He'll only hire you if you can make him angry, or he would put you in a chair with one leg shorter than the rest to see if you would live with deficiency or fix it, if you were brave enough to say something, or he would give you a salad and he would see how you would dress or what you would do with it.
And I don't know where the test there was. Are things good as they are, or do you need to take control and make them? Long story short, I like nothing on my salad and don't try to force your ways onto me. So that's my little rant there for the Navy, but yeah, we are back on the water with a retired U S Navy commander, a round of applause for the highest ranked Navy personnel we have had on the show.
It's awesome. And not only that. You know, I don't like to focus on the gender too much to just try to credit everything to that, but you don't see a lot of women who stay in the Navy that long and that are that high ranking. So it's really great to have a high ranking woman on a show. And we'll talk about some of the challenges that came with that.
And some of the changes you've seen from when you first joined the now, because there have been a lot of movements in recent years, but obviously when you were serving, things were really different. So I'd love to get into that. But we're also going to talk about some science and some life advice to help improve everyone's lives.
So, without further ado, we have Ms. Darlene Green. Would you please go ahead and introduce yourself for us? Thank you, Mr. Whiskey. Yeah, Darlene Green. And I'm super honored to be on your show. Thank you for having me. I did enjoy 20 years in the Navy. Loved school. Loved it really felt like I was just blessed to be in it.
I don't know that anybody really serves in the military and leaves without feeling very proud of the time that they spent there. So I have done a lot of things since then. I actually was a vice president for McAfee in the technology arena. I've been a dean of a, of a boarding school called the girls academy.
I was, I'm a director of client services for a network and security technology company. In addition to being a health technologist that helps people improve their emotional and physical health. And that's really more of my passion at this point in time, but I do that on the side to help people out.
Yeah. And so I want to focus on something you said there, which was you felt very blessed, you know, throughout your time to serve. And you said, everyone's proud. And I do think there's a great pride that comes with being Being a patriot and serving in the military, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to always experience the greatest people when you're serving, whether that's leadership or peers.
And so I want to talk a little bit about that and especially what made you feel so blessed? Like what was so great about it that you had during it and then that you took out of the Navy when you left? Yeah, so I think, I think when I first joined the Navy, I was incredibly frustrated. They didn't really know what to do with me.
They didn't have a job for me. They made me the assistant to an assistant. And I was really bored. And so I kind of went to the commanding officer and said, please, please give me a job. Like, please give me a real job. And ultimately they did. And then I was able to really thrive in it. And I was able to I think make my mark, right.
And, and explore new realms in, in a variety of ways from being a public affairs officer to being a student and quota control officer that managed at a training command, staff of people and a ton of students. I think what I loved was the variety. I changed jobs about every year. I went to the Pentagon and was in the joint operations division and the joint chiefs of staff working under General Colin Powell and Secretary Cheney and was really in an environment there with some creme de la creme people that I was, you know, I think every single person in that office made flag.
You know, actually, it was really kind of extraordinary. And I, then I had my first command tour and I was an officer in charge of a personnel support detachment, which was amazing. I was just 4 years out of college and I had 55 or 60 people that were under my authority and they were between ages 18 and 65.
and they were men, women, civilian, military, and I had 6 departments and a huge budget and thousands of customers. So it was really a leadership sandbox and playground for me. I, I learned my, I put to use a lot of training that I'd gone through and customer service skills and process improvements.
Techniques and I just really found it to be incredibly rewarding. I then had the opportunity to go forward to the naval postgraduate school and that was a blessing. I mean, how can you not turn down a free education and they're paying you while you're going. So that was in Monterey, California, all the all good things.
Then had my. Of payback tour, so to speak at the Navy Annex and had a manpower and personnel training analysis job, which is really like using an MBA. And then rolled into my first commanding officer tour in Texas. I was a base commander and had warehouses that did used to actually build ships. So we had 16 acres and I think 120 staff.
That was, that was, you know, everything from leads and things that I was just constantly worried about people losing digits or safety. But it was, it was a really phenomenal tour. When I left my wardrobe presented me with a sword and said, we would follow you into battle anywhere. And. The key, I got a key to the two cities actually.
And wow. It was a, a really unique and incredible opportunity. From there, went on to Manpower and Chief of staff jobs and, and my final commanding officer tour was at actually Navy Operational Support Center in Phoenix. And that was really am amazing. It was 1200 people, 800 Navy, 400 Marines. And my job was to help prepare people to go deploy to war and prepare their family.
So both from a training perspective and administrative security, clearance, dental, medical, all of it. And, and, and then their jobs. And that was where I saw really how injured they were when they came back. And it wasn't that they would say that because, you know, military they're not necessarily Yeah.
You know how they're feeling. But I think because I had gone through my own trauma, my own PTSD, my own anxiety and depression and issues, I saw it in other people in a way that I'm not sure I would have otherwise. And when I did, and I had done therapy and and a lot of different techniques and tools that had served me really well.
So I knew a lot of them, but when I saw their hurt and injury, I stood in front of about 400 1 weekend. And I said, hey, I want to build a program that does a better job of taking care of you and your spouses and your partners. When you come back and I'm not really sure what that needs to look like, but I bet, you know, what it needs to look like.
And I'd like for you to help me build that if you if you'd be interested. And so I had about 40 volunteers that weekend and I cataloged, like, what are your skill sets? And let's, let's figure it out because this was all going to be done on the side. Like, this was not going to be done during our work hours.
And, yeah. And we pulled together first, we went looking for a program that we thought would really be something we could take off the shelf, you know, put a sticker on and roll out. But that was not in existence because as you wouldn't recognize most people deploying in units. Or commands or companies or something squadron something, right?
And our people were actually being plucked out 1 at a time. They were going to be skill set. So, not as units. And so they were. They were very isolated going over there. They were very isolated coming back. And so they didn't have peers to bounce things off of and say, I'm experiencing something like this.
Are you and neither did the spouses. And that was really very problematic because they thought they were very alone and the only ones experiencing what they experienced. So we put together a brand new program. We built a curriculum. We trained facilitators. The all we got money for it. It took about a year to build the program and then we rolled it out and we had about 120 at our very 1st returning where weekend program.
We had amazing results. We actually took some data beforehand and then we took some data at the end of the weekend and then we took data three months later to see how people were doing. And we reported 100 percent of them said this was very beneficial and they recommended it to other people. We had, we had people say this saved my marriage and we had other people say this saved my life.
So it was a really, we made sure to talk about very tough issues like transitioning from war. What is the difference? Like the code of the warrior is a book. That was this, one of the guest speakers was the author of that book. And she talked about how since the Greeks and Trojans, there has been a cleansing ritual that people have gone through to prepare themselves for civilization after being in war.
And what the difference is between murder and killing in a war and the difference between for morality purposes to help people kind of get through out of their own head around these things. And then we had some discussions around PTSD and we had discussions around transformational growth and we had small group sessions as well talking about things like why I want to go back.
I mean, there were a lot of very angry spouses when the military member comes in and says. Yeah, I want orders right back to the theater and they'd say, wait, what, you know, I just spent a year taking care of the kids in the house and all the things and now, and what about our marriage? And didn't you miss me?
And so when you put them all in a small group setting, and they all. You know, you asked the question, how many of you want to go back? And every one of them shoots their hand up to the air. The spouses look at each other and they think, Oh, this is not about me at all. This is not about my marriage at all.
There is something bigger here that I don't understand that's going on. We were able to help them navigate that and rebuild relationships and, and learn what kind of resources they had available. And we had, we had chaplains and we had nurses and doctors, and we had a big safety net because I was a little nervous.
Because I knew that a lot of the people there would have PTSD and trauma, and I didn't want it triggered, and I didn't want meltdowns, and so I was very careful, but it was a great program, and my regional commander boss asked me if I would pick it up and spread it throughout the whole Southwest, like duplicate this and spread it everywhere.
It's just like, oh, okay, a little harder to do that, but let's do that. So we did that. And then and then it went national and not only national, national and and consistently year to year, but it got yellow ribbon panel funding, protected funding from the Department of Defense. And so that is a program that, you know, was built in 2006.
And it is still in existence today. So there's still tons of people that have gone through it and been helped. And I'm incredibly proud of that. So the blessing was the journey and the people and the leadership training and the lives touched and the ability to help those who have sacrificed so much. I felt like I went in, you know, I went in the weekend, I graduated from college, very young and inexperienced.
And I came out of the Navy 20 years later, truly knowing in my bones, you know, throw it at me. What do you want me to do? I can do anything you throw at me. I really had that level of confidence. And because I had changed different jobs and I had done so many things and I knew that leadership, no matter where it was, Whatever industry was something that I was capable of doing.
Yeah. So we're all going to take a step back because that, that was a lot. And there's so many things I want to address that you brought up that really resonate with me and a lot of people out there. So one of the things we talked about on previous episodes, and, you know, we talked about the uniqueness in terms.
Of the military when it comes to leadership, this being one of the greatest parts of the military, as well as one of the most harmful parts when leaving. And what I mean by that is there are so many opportunities for leadership. In fact, you're often voluntold to be a leader. And what's great about it is, like you said, sometimes you're leading peers your same age and experience level.
And sometimes you're picked at random. Sometimes you're picked with a purpose. And then you talk also about leading people older than you. You know, we had half my bootcamp division was older than my RDC. I mean, he was a young guy, but he had been through a lot. And so it's amazing because you have so many different opportunities to lead.
I mean, within a single command or just a division, there's so many different leadership positions. You know, they all play their different role and have their different levels. But it's great. I mean, even in terms of just watch standing, even if it's a, you know, you get that positional authority. So it really does help you even if you don't want to be a leader, it helps, you know, cultivate that responsibility, that communicating all these skills.
And so that's what makes it so great caveat to that is so many people get used to that and then they leave. And there aren't that many leadership positions, unless you're starting your own company. If you're working your way up really well, you're there's not as many leadership positions, so it's important to invest in the skills more than the title is how I would say it right, because those are all great skills that come with leadership, but you might not necessarily be a leader when you get out, but those skills are something you can use on a peer to peer level at a family level, wherever it may be.
So that's one great thing. And you mentioned something so important because I've had some guests on the show that I've talked to. I've had people out in the civilian world who have this idea that the military desensitizes you and trains you to have no guilt when you kill, and that's not necessarily how it works.
We understand the importance of the mission. But there are so many, so many soldiers and sailors and Marines out there. Who still have moral, you know, they're wrestling with their moral conscience over stuff. In fact long ago And I mean a couple years ago back when I I don't know if it was high school middle school, but there had been this It was like almost like instagram, but just for artists and it was just sketches and artwork I think it was called sketchy or something and I was scrolling through there one day And this guy had painted a picture and wrote a poem and he was a veteran And it was about he had um Um, he had killed a child over in the Middle East, and the poem was just, he was a child, but he had a rocket, and it was just those two lines over and over again, and, you know, the comment section was very supportive but, you know, he was really, he expressed after the poem all this guilt, he, he didn't care if the kid had a rocket, you know, he didn't care, I mean, he was still a child, and we've talked before on the show about You know, when it comes to these Children in in war zones or in countries where there's radicalism and they're raised up, you know, is there hope to break them free from that?
You know, if we if we if we took these Children out of these climates, would they ever be able to think differently? You know, so it's definitely a conversation we've had. Just thinking about, you know, it, you know, at any time World War Three could happen and we could end up over there. So it's something that other veterans and I, and then me and my active service buddies talk about, you know, like those kinds of things.
So I think it's so important to understand and know that being in the military, Sure, we're a bit more stoic about things, and like you said, we're good at hiding our emotions and showing that we're fine. But that doesn't mean we don't wrestle with moral conflicts like that. Yeah, war is war, but human beings are still human beings.
So that's so important to know. And one thing I want to say is, For those of you who this is your first time listening to the show or being introduced to me and you're wondering about the whole purpose of this, you know, Ms. Green just talked about such a great thing, which is, you know, this whole program to help people, to military people and their spouses.
And one of my missions is there's so much attention on the, you know, the responsive side. After people have PTSD, after they get out of the service or while they're in, And that's great. I truly respect that and we truly need that. And we're always going to need that. But my ultimate goal is to make a program to help mentor people before they go in, and while they're active service, to help combat everything along the way, so that they are more prepared and less likely to develop these, these issues, which, Ms.
Green, it sounds like your program Played a role in that too with active duty and everything, which I think is so important. Because we always think about the VA, these veteran support groups, the American Legion. It's great, especially when you leave and don't have that community. But like, like you're doing and like I really want to do, having that while you're in, having something that isn't just Navy medical, you know, that isn't just the personnel on the ship, or, you know, just those small groups, sometimes Nowadays again, you know one or two civilian counselors.
What we really need is peer to peer conversations. You talked about isolation because they were plucking one person on a unit, but in general the military just isolates. And it's not necessarily intentional, but you know we've talked before on the show in the suicide prevention for veterans and active duty about how It can be so isolating when sometimes your unit or division is all you have, you know, you don't have other people outside of that.
And if you don't get along with them or they don't understand you necessarily, you know, and it's also hard because some of these people you're with 24 7 and you just need something different. So I think it's great to have programs like that. And Ms. Green, you talk about empowering people now that you're out still serving as a leader.
In helping people. So tell us a bit more about modern times, what you're doing nowadays to help everyone. Oh, sure. So I'll tell you along the way in my journey in the Navy, I, I did a lot of investigative work into health because I had been diagnosed with autoimmune disorders that, you know, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, POTS, which is postural orthostatic tachycardia, even rosacea, thyroid issues you know, it was, it was a really, Something that Western medicine doesn't have any real response to, you know, they, they can tell me, okay, because you're passing out and blocking out and clunking your head, take this medicine, pharmaceutical drug that increases your blood pressure.
That sounded like a really bad idea, but honestly, that's what I had to do. Starting around. 2005. I had this drug that I had to take. I had migraines and headaches and things. So I was constantly working on health and in an alternative, holistic sort of approach, very integrated medicine approach. But I still had those things and I had not gotten rid of them.
But it was really when my husband at age 64 was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's that my deep dive into this world that I live in now began and we started by doing all the things possible that I knew about from gene mapping and microbiome testing. To revamping the diet, taking, we used to say, if it tastes good, spit it out because really, we really had it down to only the best foods and, you know, certainly no alcohol or soda or anything, the highest quality fats and grass fed grass finished foods.
Meets and really all of that. And we did infrared sauna. We did red light therapy. We did hyperbaric chamber ozone therapy, hydrogen water, high intensity training, strength training with a trainer several times a week. And I would help train him the other days. And we worked on a sleep protocol, the only the only drug that they offered for Alzheimer's at the time gave.
People that had his gene type, which means he had the gene type for Alzheimer's. From both mom and dad, a brain bleed in 50 percent of the people that did that. So that was not an option. So that's when we, you know, all of my research led to stem cells and we went out of country on four occasions and both of us got IV and stem cell injections, placenta stem cells.
Which are not even legal in the United States, and we have a lot of hope for that. And and it was exceedingly expensive. 10, 000 for 1 IV for 1 of us. So, Jim, doing that quarterly, it really broke the bank, but I was hopeful, but we actually experienced. No benefit. There was no change whatsoever. It was a really we were out of place in time.
My husband had declined the equivalent of what normally would take somebody about 14 years in Alzheimer's world to decline and he declined that much in 2 years. So, at the point in time, and we uncovered this latest technology. He was essentially 4 or 5 years old, you know, kind of cognitively napping 3 and a half hours a day and no longer really even engaging in conversation.
This is a retired Navy captain who was a tech God. He landed on an aircraft carrier 1200 times carrier a wing commander. On a couple of different aircraft carriers, really cool guy and for him to no longer engage in conversation. Basically, his whole personality was to be funny all the time and he wasn't even trying to be funny anymore.
He was asking the same question 7 times in a couple of minutes. And it was just a really, it was a really tough situation. So I had a friend who knew that I'd gone out of country for stem cells, and she said, look, I'm using this technology that's changed my family's health and life altogether. It's been incredibly transformative, and I'd really love for you to try it.
It's this tiny little quarter size patch. And what it does is it elevates and activates your own body's we're going to call them master foundational cells inside the United States, but for those of you outside of the United States, you will know them as stem cells. The FDA and FTC have locked down the words and use of those words for their purposes only.
So I'm going to call the master foundational cells and we'll all know what I'm talking about. And this patch elevates and activates and rejuvenates your own. Through this patch. So I had absolutely no faith in this. I had zero. I had 100 percent skepticism and 0 percent trust, but I really had nothing to lose.
What do we have to lose? And these, you know, a month supply where you were at 12 hours on 12 hours off were 99. So it was like, sure, sure. We'll try that. Well, imagine my surprise when in the very first week, the very first day, actually, he didn't nap the three and a half hours at all. He didn't fall asleep at seven o'clock.
He's all of a sudden super chatty, like a damn broken head, all these things to say. And he was with it, applying, replying kind of appropriately and, and not asking me the same questions over and over again. And back to his original funny and flirty personality. All in the first week, you know, the second week, he experiences the best sleep he's had instead of 15 minutes of deep sleep.
He got an hour and 25 minutes of deep sleep. And then he, he actually regained the ability to whistle and drum in the 2. 5 month mark. At the 4 month mark, he had a marble sized nodule that just disappeared from his, his skin that had been there for the 20 years. I've known him. And at the 5 month mark, he regained a sense of smell, which he'd lost 15 years ago.
It's actually an early warning indicator for Alzheimer's. His hair bald spot grew in close, started to close up and his hair grew, instead of being gray, it came in a chestnut brown. So, it was just like, astonishing and similarly or differently really in some regards, but I also experienced benefit.
I immediately, I had had a broken foot and a sprained ankle. I'd actually torn completely 1 of the ligaments of my ankle and the other 1, 90%, so they had to do surgery and kind of anchor it to the bone and I was waiting for surgery. But that, that disability at that point in time was really rough because I'm a care provider 24 7 to someone with Alzheimer's and because it immediately took away all of my coping mechanisms, my, my pickleball, my walks around the neighborhood, my social abilities, like, all of this was just immediately gone.
And it added up and so I was really depressed. I was clinically depressed. I wanted to cry every day and I was face to face with exactly how problematic. My husband's Alzheimer's was because what was happening is if I asked him for just a glass of water, he would just look at me like, I have no idea what you're saying.
I want to help you. You know, he was always so sweet, but he didn't really know what I was saying or how to help. So, when I started my own patching with the 1st thing was, I immediately got out of pain. It was extraordinary that I was out of pain for the 1st time in 5 months. The second thing I noticed was so much more energy.
I mean, like waking up before my alarm, ready to hit the day, ready to go work out, ready to do whatever the day required. Then I was sleeping so much better. And I noticed somewhere around week two or three that I was no longer depressed. Like it just lifted me out of my depression. And then around, I think the three month mark, I noticed that I no longer had any symptoms of rosacea, and I had no more symptoms of fibromyalgia.
I had no more symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. I had just really even my headaches. I used to take medicine. That was really always with me always, because if I started to get a headache and it went to migraine, I was literally throwing up it on the way to the emergency room and that had happened to me several times.
So I always had medicine in my. In my glove box in my purse everywhere. I went, I never went anywhere without it. I could not tell you today where that medicine is because it's just, I just don't need it anymore. I have not once taken the medicine to raise my blood pressure to try to keep from painting. I just haven't had any episodes of painting.
So no more of symptoms of the pots either. So it was really just an extraordinary journey for us. And of course, yeah. Since we saw so much happen quickly in the first week, you know, I'm picking up the phone and going, mom, dad, sis, you got to try this. Like this is, this is crazy. And and they are, they're patching.
And, you know, my sister had six years of microscopic colitis and it cleared up in three weeks. My girlfriend's daughter who had a rare genetic disorder and had been really a 16 in age, but academically or cognitively kindergarten. In just 15 days came off of her ADHD medicine, never to be put on it again.
And at 5 weeks went from kindergarten to upper 3rd, lower 4th grade in her abilities and continue to improve executive reasoning to becoming 16, where she wasn't even registering that before. So lots of lots of people, lots of touching of their lives, lots of positive feedback and. And I was like, what is this?
Like, how is this working? And what do I have my hands on here? And, and I was honestly a bit mad that in all of my research, I had never come across it. Like I had never heard of it. I didn't know anything about it. I didn't understand how something this powerful could be out there and no one's talking about it.
And then what really made me mad is when I asked four of my doctors about it and they all knew about it and they were like, yes, I use the patches. Yes. I'm like, wait, what? Even a dentist. I'm like, how, how is it that you, you know about this and you're using this? And I have never heard of it. So I was just kind of angry.
And I even found out that over 300 Olympic athletes were wearing this patches back in the 2008 Olympics. that there are over 130 clinical studies, double blind, placebo controlled, peer reviewed, that it's not only safe with no contraindications to any medicines, but it's available in 87 countries. It just gets shipped to your door, no prescription required, and you put it on, and it's so completely safe that it just works.
And so, I was I was pretty frustrated. I even found out Tom Brady, the Kansas City Chiefs are wearing these pouches. And I was like, what is this? How is this working? So I'll tell you it actually makes more sense than you might think. Because I was incredibly like, I don't get it. I don't even when it was working on me.
I just I'm like, I don't get how this little thing could be making this kind of difference. So what is it doing? And how does it work? And. Most people understand light therapy has been around 5, 000 years. It's actually very old medicine. It's not new medicine. And we know when we go outside in the sun, we get vitamin D.
Our body makes vitamin D. We don't actually absorb vitamin D. We actually, our body gets a signal from the light and it makes vitamin D. Similarly, it makes melanin for a sun tan. And so what happens in these And these patches is just like any military member knows if I were to look to with night vision goggles on I would see light inside of you.
So what happens is that this patch acts similar to like a double sided mirror. There's a lattice structure of aminos and sugars and crystals and salts, that's created this very specific lattice structure to reflect your own light. back into you at a very specific wavelength. And when it does that, it's, it's a, it's basically signaling to your body.
Hey, I want you to elevate the copper peptide GHKCU. And I'd never heard of GHKCU a lot of people haven't, but it's actually been very well studied for 50 years and you can go Google it and PubMed and see all the studies. But this copper peptide is miraculous. And by doing one of the things that this copper peptide is proven to do is to increase those master foundational cells.
It actually also produces growth factors. It improves the brain and the nerves. It improves heart health. It increases the healing and tissue repair. It actually resets. 4,200 genes to their younger and healthier state. It has amazing anti-cancer benefits that One of the things I love about the G-H-P-C-U, it's you've been using cancer clinics, is that it resets the program cell death of cancer cells.
So cancer, part of the problem is that it's multiplying, multiplying, multiplying. It doesn't stop. Right? And what this dose says, stop, you're not gonna multiply anymore. We're gonna reset the program cell death and we're not gonna affect the healthy cells. And we're going to repair damaged DNA, and we're going to reset 84 of these genes to protect against cancer.
So super powerful in that front. That's why there are actually people in cancer clinics getting G. H. Q. C. U. Injections. There's a book. Called how to reverse aging a comprehensive guide to copper peptides. And in this book, it talks about 3 ways to get copper peptide. This case, you 1 is through injection.
1 is for creams because it's really good for improving skin and hair. And another 1 is through our patches and this 1 doctor was doing 4 injections a day and not getting the same level of as our single patch was. So really very safe. And then it also does something to protect lung cells and to lengthen telomeres.
So telomeres are, are correlated with health and longevity. And so just this amazing ability. So it's, it's almost like your body is doing the work. Your body is tapping into its innate wisdom. What I didn't know is that when you're 30, half of your master foundational cells are dormant, and when you're 60, they're almost all dormant.
So they're no longer helping to repair and rejuvenate and heal. And that's why we're aging. And that's why we're not getting better. Well as quickly. And that's why when you're a kid, you can bounce back and you don't stay sick long and you don't you heal everything heals so much faster. And when you're older, it heals so much slower.
But when you, when you now start rejuvenating and regenerating and repairing those cells, what a difference it makes because you can really tremendously see improvement. And there's yeah. There's a couple of studies you can actually see on my website that I love and I would really recommend people look at because you can actually see EEGs of the brain and the reduction in inflammation of the brain and the improved cognition and actual cell and nerve regeneration.
And then you can also see in a heart study. It's actually a cardiovascular study that every six weeks. the cardiovascular system began acting as if it were eight weeks younger. So we have so many people in our, in our military service and outside of our military service who have issues That are that are either anxiety, depression, PTSD sleep, energy, you know, they're living off caffeine.
I mean, kind of military, especially maybe are known to be living off caffeine or energy drinks, right? And and here we have patches that elevate your energy levels, improve your sleep, improve your health and do that with no drugs. In a very natural way that's actually optimizing your overarching health and it's inexpensive.
I mean, that's just the, it's, it's available and it's inexpensive. It can go to anybody in any part of the United States, no matter where you are and the military can use it to active duty or retire anyone, right? There's no drug. So there's nothing to say that any active duty military can't use it because.
It's not going to be something that they need to worry if Olympians, 300 Olympians can use it and see that there's nothing going into their bloodstream. Certainly our military can too. So I want to take a step back for everyone who doesn't know what a master foundational cell is in terms of what differentiates it from the other cells in our body.
What does it do? What role does it play? And how does that work? You talked about them being dormant and everything and repairing So could you please define that for us? Yeah, that's such a good question. So first of all, they're, they're a vital part of our immune system. And these flurry potent master foundational cells.
They repair, rejuvenate and regenerate damaged cells. They are the body's raw materials. When you first were born, the first two cells that came together were these kinds of cells. And then they became whatever the body needed. So it could be bone or muscle or cartilage. They, they can become brain or lungs or heart or kidney or liver or anything.
And they, they not only are doing that building work, but they're also reducing inflammation. They actually trigger the death of old cells and kind of take out the trash called apoptosis. And then they self replicate to create more. So one of the things our technology is known to do is to activate the dormant ones, replicate and regenerate new ones and put them to work and reduce that inflammation.
And we actually have, we have a whole suite of wearable wellness therapy. It's not just this single patch that elevates and activates your master foundational cells. But you heard me talk about the pain relief patches, for example, that's a different, a different patch. There's a different patch That actually is extraordinary at reducing inflammation, which is really the root of so much evil.
And its whole purpose is to reduce inflammation and stress and balance the autonomic nervous system. It also balances hormones. So there's also another patch. That's a phenomenal ads. Elevating glutathione, which is your body's master antioxidant and something I was very in tune with prior to patching because I was getting glutathione through I.
V. I was taking glutathione orally to boost my immune system since I had an autoimmune disorder. And so I love that the people that live the longest in the world have the highest levels of glutathione. And it's because it does so much including. helping to repair cartilage and regenerate you know, those areas that are in need.
It says a lot of things from hearing to clearing acne. It's just, it's, it improves organ health. It's just a really great thing. We have other patches that elevate carnosine, a lot of, a lot of elites. Bodybuilders or athletes are familiar with carnosine. We have a patch that increases energy.
There's a patch that I mean energy and actually it's that first patch. You'll love this. The first patch was invented by our founder when the Department of Defense said to him, we want something that will allow and keep our Navy SEALs to stay awake for several days at a time while they're out on submarine missions.
And the the answer were these very first. Energy patches. And what they did was they basically tapped into the production of mitochondria to improve mitochondrial production and therefore improve energy. And so they are they're sort of like energizer bunny energy all day long and very different.
They're not like when you do shots of caffeine or energy. It's just a really steady state, calm, but energetic. People actually find they perform better in sports. They have more endurance, they have less fatigue and muscle soreness. There's another patch that actually knocks out sugar and hunger cravings.
Another patch that helps people sleep. One patch that's very good for improving all the organs and helping sleep and getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles and making you look younger. So. There's a variety of patches and, and part of what I offer people for, for no charge is just an opportunity to help them figure out, you know, which patch is best for you.
We always, always, always start with that master foundational cell activation patch. Always, that's like number one, you always start with that. I typically recommend two patches if you have an issue you're trying to resolve and that includes the anti inflammation patch with that master foundational stem cell.
The master foundational cell patch, because actually inflammation sort of eats up those master foundational cells and it's like a Pac Man eating them all up. And so you need to lower that inflammation and elevate those master foundational cells so that you can have them really go to work for you. And that's where I come in and help people understand how to wear them, where to wear them, when to wear them.
The only real requirement is that you drink. A lot of water and you have half of your body weight announces in water because you're going to start detoxify. And so you need to have more water in your bloodstream and in your body to try to dump all of that out. All the toxins that are kind of dumping.
So that hopefully that answers your question around how are they different and what do they do? They're really what they're really everything. And there's really nothing they can't do. If you, if you, if you talk to this doctor that read this book, he would tell you he had a right branch bundle blockage.
There is no cure for that. There's nothing. There's no surgery. There's nothing you can do. And 14 months later, he has no right branch bundle blockage. It's just gone. You know, there is an anesthesiologist and 40 year physician who, who says this is the most significant medical breakthrough in my lifetime.
And that's a doctor Joseph pack. So, you know, there are a lot of doctors using them, not necessarily talking about them, because they're sort of. Hamstringed by pharmaceutical companies on what they say they really need to promote. And really, when you think about it, I love doctors, so don't get me wrong.
Yeah. They are, they are there and they have a great purpose, but they are trained in a medical school that was, the curriculum was completely built by pharmaceutical companies and they are trained to do and to cut. And that's really their, their purpose. So they are the people you want to go to for an autoimmune or if you're looking for a system wide body health approach to trying to stay young and stay healthy ahead of time.
If you break your arm, they're the people to go see. But the, the the alternatives that are available out there in the alternatives path are untapped and really robust. Yeah. So. To simplify it in the most simple way possible, the master foundational cells are blank undesignated cells that can then become whatever cell they need to repair something or form something, correct?
Correct. So with that in mind, I want to backtrack to the treatment you tried out of country, which was a transplant of, and I believe the reason you got it from, you know, You said it was a placenta, correct? That's correct. Because they were yet to be formed into a specific type of cell. So they were still blank cells.
Well, they were, they were pluripotent placenta cells, but they, they could become a different kind of cell. Right. And they were young and fresh and alive and right, you know, if I were to pull out even my own cells, master foundational cells, which is allowed in the United States in some places, they'll pull them out, they'll pull them out of bone marrow and they'll pull medicine, right?
There's no telling if those are, you know, I'm 59 years old. So when you are that age, almost all of them are dormant. Now I've activated mine at this point in time, but, but before patching, if you're, if you're, you know, people, people that are patching actually aren't going and getting this procedure done because, right.
Me too, but, but I will tell you, if you were to go take them out of me, we really would find not all of them are even alive. And, and, you know, I don't know that spinning them with something and popping them back in and activate. I do think that that approach can help a lot of people and I do think that there are a lot of people who go get placenta stem cells.
Who get a lot of benefit and maybe the reason I didn't get benefit or my husband didn't was because we were just so filled with inflammation. And maybe the reason that we got so much benefit out of the patches is that it was our own body creating our own master foundational cells or activating our own.
And we were coupling it with an anti inflammation approach. I just, I'm not really sure. Right, which is why I was curious about. So I figured a transplant, the idea was to put those cells into your body to do Transcribed What you're doing now with your, with your own body making them right. And like you said 10, 000 costs compared to you mentioned 99 and this being a lot more affordable which anything seems affordable after a 10, 000 transplant that, that did not work.
And like you said, I think too, I'm not sure how it works. In terms of, you know, like with organ donation and transplant, there needs to be a match, which I don't know with stem cells, since they're not. Designated if it's the same way it's not well, you know, it's not for those people who are actually doing injections and IV.
Although, although that's a bit risky. So there was a kind of a scary study that I heard. Thank God. I heard it after I had already gotten IV stem cell because I was it was kind of scary. They did a study where they implanted into monkey brains some stem cells and What happened is in the brain of that monkey, they had bones and teeth and stuff grow that wasn't supposed to be in a brain.
And when they, when they actually, the monkey died and they cut open the brain, they saw all of these wrong things, right? They had not, they had not gone well. So there is risk to any kind of injection and, and IV approach. And there's, there's really no risk here. I will say this. Okay. When we have someone who has a transplanted organ, like you just talked about, where they have maybe a kidney or a heart transplant or a lung transplant, we are very careful to ask people to hold hands with their doctor because this is going to boost their immune system.
And the immune system is often depressed. They intentionally use immune suppressant drugs for someone that has an organ transplant. We, we are going to elevate their immune system, so we need to have them make sure it's not over elevated and that they don't have any complications. But that said, I know that we have had a lot of people who have I heard a story just this past week.
Where somebody was waiting on a kidney transplant and they started patching and they went to go do the intake for the transplant and the doctor did the labs and looked at them and said, Oh, my gosh, what have you been doing? Because you no longer need a kidney transplant and that that is extraordinary.
And there are miraculous stories. Every day that I hear I, that make you want to cry, I had a little 74 year old woman who was in so much pain. I asked her on a scale of 1 to 10, what is your pain level? And she said, it's at a 15 and I said, how long have you been living with your pain at 15? And she said years.
I said, how are you even surviving that? And she said, I'm barely holding on. So we patched her with the pain relief patches and we patched her with the anti inflammation patch and we patched her with that master foundational cell activation patch. And those patches knocked her pain down to zero in one minute and and she was just like almost crying.
She just couldn't leave it. And then she went off to a festival the next day. Her kids were crying because they were so happy to see her out and about and laughing and moving and carrying on throughout her day. We touched base a week later. And she in a very cheerful and emotional way. Said to me, Darlene, it is not an understatement to say that you've saved my life.
And so I'll tell you that this, I mean, this patching is my way of paying it forward and doing something good in the midst of something that's very hard. I mean, my husband's Alzheimer's, he is not cured from Alzheimer's. The things that got better for him stayed better. And I got his personality back and him back in a lot of ways, but it hasn't stopped the disease.
I wish if I would have known about it 5 years earlier, I wonder where I don't know, we wouldn't be where we are today. And so I am mad that I didn't know about it. And I'm hoping that by speaking about it, I reached people who do need this today and who it's 5 years earlier for them, or they have people in their lives that they know that would be beneficial would benefit from this right away.
And, and I get, I get the joy of helping people, it's sort of the silver lining of, of a very tough situation. And, and it keeps me from thinking too much about my own circumstances. I mean, I could live in a world where I just am like, whoa, it's me. I've lost the love of my life. I've lost. You know, I'm losing him day to day and the death by 1000 cuts, which is you know, there was a time before patching where I remember saying to my sister, I just don't know how people survive this.
Like, I just don't think I'm going to be able to survive it. I think my heart is going to shatter in a million pieces. And I will say that I now know I will survive it. I know it's not going to be easy, but I am living in a place of gratitude and I'm thankful for the time I've had and what an incredible marriage we've had and I can help other people and not fixate on my own loss.
Yeah. So for people who want to find out more, I know you have your website, what exactly is on, and it will be in a description below, of course, what exactly is on there for us to look into and research, or, you know, why should we go there and check it out? Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's more information than you'll ever want to stick a stick at.
So it's, it's basically first, you can reach out to me from the website and the website is I am reverse aging. com. So I am reverse aging. R E V E R S E A G I N G dot com, and you'll see there a way to get in touch with me. You'll see the patents on the Master Foundational Cell and how it activates GHKCU.
You'll see a two minute video on how it works. You'll see a deeper dive, 16 minute video on how it works, and a 36 minute video that's specifically for practitioners. You'll see the, I think there's over I don't know, over 90 clinical studies. There's over 130 clinical studies, but there's like about 90 or more on my website that you can go click on and read the studies themselves, many of which are peer reviewed.
There's not a supplement that anybody takes that's listening to you right now that's this studied and there's not a pharmaceutical drug that's this well studied either because even drug studies usually only go a couple weeks and they don't do long term studies and they don't do this many studies.
So it's great studies and then videos. There's videos on NFL players and doctors talking about it and how the story came about more on copper peptide, how we use them for animals. There's a whole line of products for pets and horses and you know, I've got an amazing testimonials. We've, we've had, a dog that was completely paralyzed and unable to walk, and after three days of hatching was running around like a puppy. We've had we've had goats, cats and dogs and horses that were really On their deathbed and not doing well, and they're now still running around like young, young things and just doing great in their health and live many years.
Longer than expected as a result of a patching, so. It's a, it's an extraordinary technology. I mean, when, you know, it's safe enough to take off and put on your head. Including like, fish tortoises, I mean, there's like, nothing that's living that wouldn't benefit from the patches. So. I mean, you know how safe it is when, when you've got a situation like that.
And it's, it's just bringing the buddy to homeostasis to its most optimal. So yeah, that website is a great place. It's a great place to link to me and I can offer help and I don't charge for anything. I just. Consult with people. You know, I'm a I'm a brand partner and independent distributor. So I am and we, we have to be kind of careful.
I have to, I have to sort of say that our products aren't intended to cure, treat, diagnose and prevent. We're actually in the prevent disease. They're, they're actually in the, the category of a general wellness product, like a Band Aid, because There's no medicine in them. You know, a transdermal patch is something that hits your skin and like nicotine, a patch has medicine going in there or some kinds of lidocaine patches, which have a numbing agent that goes in.
This patch can actually be worn outside on the outside of your clothing. It can be just stuck in your pocket with a, with a sticker, not undone. It can be facing this way or this way, and it's still going to operate because it's not putting anything in your skin. It's just reflecting light. And so, it's a general wellness category, and we have to be really careful not to make medical claims because then we get in trouble from everybody who's pharmaceutical companies and, you know, doesn't want us disrupting their business model, which, you know, you look at the business model of pharmaceutical companies and when one pharmaceutical drug leads to another leads to another, and they never are really getting to the root cause of the issue, they're masking the issue, where what When you think about it, your master foundational cells, they will go in and over time.
Really resolve whatever the cause of the problem is in my opinion, and I would tell you that that doesn't happen overnight. So it takes time. I mean, 80 percent of people experience a positive result in 3 to 6 weeks, but we expect people to be on the. On them for 6 months, 9 months, it takes time and we say, like, a month for every decade you are old and if you've got a pretty significant issue, maybe even longer.
Yeah, so ladies and gentlemen, if you're interested more about pharmaceutical companies and the way medication is being prescribed, be sure to check out this episode as well as I have one I'll put above in a description below with the undoctor Fred Moss where we sat down and just focus specifically on that topic of you know psychotherapists and also about Society's new trend of wanting to have something wrong with them and craving and going after medical ailments like it's Pokemon.
Definitely an interesting episode. I think, you know, you mentioned it a few times and I totally agree. The Just giving out medication treating symptoms, not causes, and I know a lot of people want to say, well, why would the medical industry do that? That's not morally just. Well, the medical industry is also one of the biggest, if not the biggest money making industry in the world.
Because everyone has health. Everyone has health issues and everyone wants to fix those issues. And of course we've, you know, 10, 000 for a transplant. It sounds like a lot, but then there are procedures out there that are tens of thousands and you have to get multiple of them. So there's a lot of money yet.
Nurses and doctors are always saying that they're not getting paid enough. So where is that money going? I'm not gonna answer that question, but I'll leave it up to everyone. So, Ms. Green, I appreciate everything you said. I think it's very interesting and and what I have to say is I mean I feel like if people made it This for an episode they're pretty much on your side, but to all the skeptics out there who really think this is just hogwash that's my hanging out with so many British podcasters.
I mean, what would you what would you say to them? Yeah, I get it. That's where I was when I started. I was just desperate and willing to give it a try. There is a money back guarantee. There's a, you know, a 30 day money back guarantee. And so what do you have to lose 99 that could change your life?
And that, that's kind of where I would say, I get it. I get that you may be skeptical. But what you're doing now isn't working and what the world is doing now isn't working and this is working and I can, I can, I have testimonials on endless things. You know, All sorts of things. There are tons of tons of people.
This is. This is actually one of the fastest growing companies. We have grown 4, 000 percent in the last four years. We've basically we're a triple a plus opportunity. In fact, I think in last year we were up 47 percent in this year so far, just to just to September, I think. We're up 42% actually 3, 000 percent growth from 2018 to 2024.
So we were 120 million company. We're a 600 million company. We won the Bravo award for the fastest growing company of our type in the inner four years in a row. So it's, it's it's not you know, and our, our founder and CEO was asked to speak as the keynote speaker recently at the, you know, biggest.
convention of, of its type for this kind of company. And so it's really it's been around 20 years. This is not a fly by night new thing. The, the new technology around the master foundational cells, that's about four or five years old, but the other technology, I mean, the technology of how this is delivered has been around 20 years and it's very well, well studied and the studies are great.
I just, I was on a podcast of a doctor who was interviewing me about it. And I said to him, I'm really kind of surprised that you're not familiar with this already. And he goes, oh, I am. 'cause he was all about stem cells, . And I said, really? Are you not familiar? He goes, oh no, we're familiar. We use 'em in our office.
And I was like, I thought, I thought you might. So he had his own stories to tell about the successes. So it's interesting how many people are, you're just not going to hear them necessarily pushed, because they're really they're not even allowed. They have to be careful about saying things about vitamin C or vitamin D or zinc.
I mean, they really are almost only allowed to talk about drugs. And when you think about it. The pharmaceutical companies are in bed with the government are in bed with the media. They're all, they're all like this and they benefit from the profits. And that's, that's unfortunate, but that is a sort of a disease centric focus and we are not a disease centrist focus.
We're into health. And rejuvenating and reverse aging and regenerating and really quality of life. And longevity as well, but quality of life. 1st, and foremost, so, you know, I'm not here to convince anybody to try this. I'm here to offer and share information. If it speaks to you. Great. If you think it's not, that's okay.
Move along your day and have a wonderful 1, right? I, I, I wish I would have known about it and it would have. It would have been, I mean, I come from you know, I came from a University of Virginia where we had an honor code, you know, thou shalt not lie, cheat, or steal. I was 20 years in the Navy with a code of conduct.
And I think that I was raised to be of the greatest integrity. I am an incredibly honest person. I am also not. a person who likes to speak on podcasts or even publicly. If you were to look back a few years at my Facebook page, you would have seen nothing posted except when one daughter graduated from the Naval Academy and another daughter graduated from the Air Force Academy.
I have two boys that were both Marines. My husband was Navy. My dad was an air force colonel. So I come from a family where core values and telling the truth was absolutely everything. And, and so I get that none of your folks know me, but that's who I am. And it is not comfortable for me to come forward and share my, my My depression, my husband's Alzheimer's, my challenge around that, but I feel like if it reaches one person and they have an improved quality of life as a result of it, then it's worth the discomfort for me.
Well, Miss Green, we know that a worst case scenario. Anyone who is a skeptic when they've tried everything else and failed they may be like, they may come running this way. They'll, they'll do as they do to God above. Don't, don't, don't use you until I need you kind of thing. Don't believe in you till I need you.
The other thing is that, you know, pharmaceuticals are expensive. So insulin is expensive. Medicines of all types are expensive. People come off of their blood pressure medicine. They stop using blood pressure medicine. They stop using cholesterol medicine. They're no longer taking thyroid medicine.
They're having their insulin quickly. They're no longer taking insulin there. You know, these are changing the core symptoms and systems so that they no longer need to be on those medicines. And they just, it's just, Extraordinary. They drop weight. They add muscle. They improve bone density. I mean, there's just a ton.
They perform better. They do more push ups and sit ups faster. They, I mean, the body fat drops. There's so many things that come about. I mean, we've talked about some of them, but not even really. Near the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, for, for sure. And I think if anything, I'm really interested 10 years from now, 20 years from now, and then once, once I'm in my sixties, you know, looking at the state of the world and seeing where this has gone whether, you know, Whoever you want to deem the system, if they, they shut this all down, or if it ends up breaking through and everyone's wearing one, or it's just, you know, at, at, at every corner store, you know, it'll be very interesting to look back and see how much the world has changed revolving around this.
And like you said, which I think is important, ladies and gentlemen, you can research this on your own. If not from, you know, Ms. Green's website there are probably a ton of studies, like we mentioned out there. With images and videos for those of you who'd like that stuff. And for me personally, I, I'm going to go research the more science stuff, all the big words you mentioned.
Cause I really like getting on that genetic and atomic and cellular level and looking at that stuff. Some of y'all listening are just like, does it work? Yes or no? No, I don't need to hear all the explanation because it's not going to make any sense to me anyway. But maybe I really appreciate you coming on the story.
Like you said. Putting out the information, it'll reach who it needs to reach. I believe that too, you know, that's, that's with every episode of this show and any podcast and whatever platform it may be if it's not for you, it's not for you, if it is, it is. And if it's not for you, as I always say, if it's not for you, maybe it's for someone, you know, and you need to be a messenger.
So be sure to be a vessel to pass along information. So ladies and gentlemen, that's your call to action. Besides checking out the website and researching this, if you're interested, maybe share it with someone, especially. If you have, if you're taking care of your parents or grandparents and they're really struggling with some stuff and they've tried a lot of different options it's another option.
Like, like Ms. Green said, you could always try. And if it doesn't work, But then it doesn't work. You move on. As long as there's no negative benefits to, or benefits, negative benefits, that's an oxymoron. As long as there's no negative consequences to using it you might as well try it. So I encourage y'all to go ahead and check that out.
But Ms. Green, thank you so much for coming on the show. I appreciate having you on and for sharing all of this information with us. Thanks, Mr. Whiskey. It's an honor and privilege to be here. Thanks for your service to the community and particularly to my brothers and sisters in the military services and veterans.
