Gary Brecka spent 22 years as a mortality researcher for large life insurance companies, building models that could predict the month of a person’s death. He had access to a database containing the day, date, time, location, and cause of death for 371 million lives—data he says no university, the CDC, or the FDA possesses. During that career, he was not allowed to contact patients or their physicians, even when he saw life-threatening drug interactions in their records. Toward the end of his career, he began manipulating the data to see what would happen if he normalized a single variable—like a patient’s hemoglobin A1C or vitamin D3 level—and watched life expectancy jump. What he saw, again and again, was that common nutrient deficiencies were being diagnosed as chronic disease.

The third leading cause of death is medical error

Show Notes

For 22 years, I predicted death for life insurance companies. One pattern showed up in file after file: most "genetic" conditions have no gene behind them. Ask your doctor which gene causes your blood pressure, your autoimmune condition, or your ADHD, and most can't answer, because it doesn't exist. What actually runs in your family is a nutrient deficiency, not a disease, and once your body gets what it's missing, the disease often clears on its own. This isn't medical advice, so bring this to your own doctor before you assume anything is permanent.
