Millets as Nutritional Superfood
Millets contain dense fiber and slow-release carbohydrates that keep blood glucose stable, reverse chronic diseases and provide a sustainable source of calories. Their high fiber also acts as a natural detoxifier throughout the digestive tract.
Millets can reverse diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders and even cancer
- Millets supply a unique combination of fiber, micronutrients and bio‑active compounds that allow the body to heal itself.
- Clinical anecdotes show type‑1 diabetics normalising blood sugar within three months when millets replace rice and wheat.
- The same protocol has been reported to improve blood pressure, thyroid function and even shrink tumours, making millets a therapeutic food rather than a mere staple.

00:18:07“if I'm a diabetic I can have mils and I can reverse my diabetes three months if you follow strictly the protocols” — Dr. Khader Vali
Millet fiber holds carbohydrates, delivering a slow and steady glucose release
- Each millet grain contains up to 99.8 % fiber, which physically traps carbohydrate molecules.
- This prevents rapid glucose spikes; blood glucose stays below the 5 g threshold that triggers hypertension.
- The slow‑release mechanism mimics the body’s natural glucose regulation, reducing the need for medication.
Quote
00:23:45“99.8% fiber in this amount of each grain having good amount of fiber has the capacity to hold the carbohydrate not to be released into your bloodstream so the release of glucose is slow and steady” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:54:18“millets are the only material that can clean up from mouth to anus” — Dr. Khader Vali
Millets need only ~200 L of water per ton, far less than rice or wheat
- Wheat irrigation consumes ~10,000 L of water per ton, while patty rice needs 8,000–9,000 L.
- Millets require roughly 200 L, a 40‑to‑50‑fold reduction, making them viable in arid regions.
- This water‑saving property also curtails dam construction, preserving ecosystems and reducing carbon emissions.
Quote
00:00:38“wheat takes about 10,000 L of water to irrigate Patty rice takes about 8,000 to 9,000 L of water to irrigate but millets only take 200 L of water to irrigate” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:08:25“millets only take 200 L of water to irrigate yes wow” — Dr. Khader Vali
C4 Grasses Advantage
Millets belong to the C4 photosynthetic family, allowing them to thrive with minimal water and high CO2 fixation. This makes them environmentally resilient and a natural carbon sink.
Millets are C4 grasses with a distinct photosynthetic pathway
- C4 photosynthesis separates carbon capture from the Calvin cycle, reducing photorespiration.
- This efficiency lets millets grow in hot, dry climates where C3 crops like rice and wheat fail.
- The biochemical advantage translates into higher yields per unit water and better drought tolerance.
Quote
00:06:25“millets belong to C4 grasses where the photosynthesis happens very differently from all the other plants that we know” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:07:07“rice and wheat are C3 grasses that means you give water they grow” — Dr. Khader Vali
C4 nature lets millets be cultivated anywhere, anytime
- Because they do not rely on abundant irrigation, millets can be grown on marginal lands.
- The temperature tolerance (10 °C – 45 °C) covers most agro‑ecological zones.
- This flexibility reduces dependence on large dams and promotes food sovereignty for small farmers.
Quote
00:07:22“you can grow millets anytime anywhere” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:17:21“millets can be grown in temperature range 10° to 45°” — Dr. Khader Vali
Millets sequester CO₂ and replenish the environment
- Every millet plant absorbs atmospheric CO₂ and converts it into edible biomass, acting as a carbon sink.
- Their rapid growth and low input farming restore soil organic matter.
- Large‑scale millet cultivation can offset emissions from rice paddies and livestock feed production.
Quote
00:07:47“millets fix carbon dioxide which every living thing releases and you have here someone who can just absorb it and convert into food for you” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:08:03“millets are self sustainable ... they can replenish environment” — Dr. Khader Vali
Negative Impact of Rice & Wheat
Rice and wheat flood the bloodstream with glucose, thicken blood, and drive hypertension and heart disease. Their promotion by corporations has displaced nutritious ancestral grains.
Eating 50 g of rice spikes blood glucose and thickens blood
- Consuming a small portion of rice within 15‑20 minutes floods the bloodstream with glucose.
- The resulting hyperviscosity forces the heart to pump thicker fluid, initiating hypertension.
- Persistent thickened blood leads to arterial plaque formation and heart block.
Quote
00:00:20“when you eat 50 g of rice idly within 15 20 minutes your blood is flooded with glucose” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:20:55“blood becomes thick and that’s where the disease begins” — Dr. Khader Vali
Rice and wheat are ‘negative grains’ that drive modern diseases
- The speaker labels rice and wheat as “negative grains” because they raise blood pressure, cause diabetes and heart disease.
- Their high glycemic index disrupts homeostasis, leading to systemic inflammation.
- The health crisis is compounded by the lack of public awareness about these risks.
Quote
00:00:00“wheat and Patty rice are negative grains which human being should not be eating” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:00:10“rice rice rice rice and causing diabetes heart block overall homeostasis of the blood is the cause of all these modern day diseases” — Dr. Khader Vali
Corporate agribusiness forced rice & wheat onto global diets, erasing ancestral grains
- Massive dam building and irrigation projects were created solely to grow water‑intensive rice and wheat.
- Patents on seeds turned independent farmers into laborers, removing traditional millet varieties.
- The result is a homogenised global diet lacking diversity and resilience.
Quote
00:08:40“corporatization of food ... they have built dams ... shift water to irrigate rice and wheat” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:10:31“we have lost this word millets ... corporate system has removed ancestral grains from our diet” — Dr. Khader Vali
Dairy & Poultry as Cancer Catalysts
Excessive consumption of dairy and poultry, driven by a trillion-dollar industry, introduces hormones, antibiotics and steroids that trigger early puberty, hormonal imbalance and cancer.
Dairy and poultry are among the two biggest causes of cancer
- Epidemiological studies cited by the guest link high dairy and poultry intake to increased incidence of various cancers.
- Both food groups share a common feed chain (soy‑bean, GM corn) that introduces carcinogenic residues.
- Reducing these foods can dramatically lower cancer risk.
Quote
00:43:20“two biggest causes of cancer is a excessive consumption of dairy and two excessive consumption of poultry” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:43:22“the two biggest causes of cancer is a excessive consumption of dairy and two excessive consumption of poultry” — Dr. Khader Vali
Milk consumption accelerates puberty and causes gynecological disorders
- Girls in India are now reaching menarche at age 8, down from the historical average of 15.
- Hormonal overload from cow’s milk (A1/A2 casein, steroids) disrupts endocrine development.
- Eliminating milk can reverse or prevent many PCOD, fibroid and infertility issues.
Quote
00:41:33“girls menstruating at age 8 average which was actually 15 years” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:42:10“stop taking milk you will wipe out 50% of your diseases” — Dr. Khader Vali
Milk contains steroids, antibiotics and non‑bioavailable calcium
- Commercial milk is fortified with growth‑promoting steroids and antibiotics to increase yield.
- The calcium present (≈900 mg) is poorly absorbed, offering no skeletal benefit.
- These contaminants contribute to metabolic stress and organ toxicity.
Quote
00:40:45“milk has steroids and antibiotics, residues harmful” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:42:58“milk calcium not bioavailable, 900 mg but not absorbed” — Dr. Khader Vali
Refined Oils & Olive Oil Myths
Commercially refined oils, including purported olive oil, lack the bio-active compounds of traditional fats and may be harmful. Natural oils such as coconut and sesame provide essential nutrients and cellular regeneration.
Olive oil marketed as healthy often isn’t derived from olives
- The guest points out that many “olive oil” products are chemically refined and may originate from other seed oils.
- This mislabeling misleads consumers about the nutritional profile.
- True olive oil is scarce; most packaged versions are blends or refined oils.
Quote
00:03:02“olive oil is good for you where is this olive oil coming from the olive trees are not there” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:03:07“refined oils ... what the hell is going on” — Dr. Khader Vali
Natural oils like coconut and sesame replenish living cells
- Coconut oil, abundant in tropical regions, supplies medium‑chain triglycerides that are readily used for cellular repair.
- Sesame oil is rich in calcium (10 g / kg) and antioxidants, supporting bone health.
- These oils are minimally processed, retaining phytonutrients absent in refined varieties.
Quote
00:03:10“natural oils replenish your living cells” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:28:44“coconut oil ... can be supplied to 70 billion people” — Dr. Khader Vali
Refined oils lack nutrients and may be detrimental to health

Cooking Vessels & Nutrient Retention
Traditional mud pots preserve the natural fiber structure and avoid the high pressure-temperature spikes of steel or aluminum cookware, which can leach harmful substances and degrade nutrients.
Mud pots retain nutrients and avoid pressure‑induced damage
- Mud pots have micro‑pores that allow gentle steam release, preventing the high pressure that denatures proteins.
- Cooking in earthenware maintains the integrity of millet fiber, enhancing digestibility.
- The method also keeps the food’s natural mineral content intact.
Quote
00:04:19“the best way to cook is in so when you do it in the steel vessel or aluminum vessel is by nature not good for you” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:04:24“when you cook in mud pot you don't increase pressure, preserves nutrients” — Dr. Khader Vali
Steel and aluminum cookware lack micro‑pores and can increase cancer risk
- Both metals are non‑porous, causing food to be exposed to higher temperatures and pressures.
- Aluminum leaching has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders and potential carcinogenic effects.
- The guest advises avoiding these vessels for millet preparation.
Quote
00:04:01“aluminum leaks and then it can cause cancer for you” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:04:08“steel or aluminum have no pores, increase pressure, can cause cancer” — Dr. Khader Vali
Soaking millets hydrates fiber, making it digestible after cooking
- Unsoaked millet fiber remains rigid and resists enzymatic breakdown.
- An 8‑hour soak hydrates the fiber, allowing carbohydrates to be released gradually during cooking.
- Proper soaking prevents digestive discomfort and maximises nutrient absorption.
Quote
00:52:05“you need to soak millet for 8 hours, fiber is dehydrated and must be hydrated before cooking” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:52:46“if you don't soak millets you will have digestive problems” — Dr. Khader Vali
Caffeine & Coffee/Tea Harm
Caffeine weakens the nervous system, disrupts kidney function and contributes to global warming through plantation expansion. Occasional consumption is tolerable, but regular intake is detrimental.
Caffeine weakens nerves, causing tremors and kidney dysfunction
- Caffeine is an alkaloid that depresses neuronal activity, leading to tremors in susceptible individuals.
- It also impairs renal tubular function, disturbing electrolyte balance.
- Chronic exposure can exacerbate hypertension and cardiovascular strain.
Quote
00:11:40“caffeine is an alkaloid which makes your nerves so much weak that many people have got tremors” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:11:55“caffeine affects kidney tissue and neurons, coordination vanishes” — Dr. Khader Vali
Coffee and tea plantations drive deforestation and climate change
- Vast swathes of forest have been cleared to create coffee and tea estates, especially in mountainous regions.
- The guest cites that 40 % of mountain areas are now occupied by these plantations.
- This land‑use change reduces carbon sequestration and accelerates global warming.
Quote
00:09:56“tea and coffee plantations destroyed forests, caused global warming” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:09:59“40% of mountainous areas are occupied by coffee and tea estates, forests lost” — Dr. Khader Vali
Occasional coffee/tea is acceptable; regular use is harmful
- The guest personally abstains but acknowledges that occasional consumption is not fatal.
- Regular intake maintains high caffeine levels, perpetuating nervous system stress.
- Moderation, combined with other healthy habits, mitigates the adverse effects.
Quote
00:11:18“I don't drink tea and coffee, okay I have nothing against people once in a while” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:11:20“once in a while you can have coffee, but regular intake harmful” — Dr. Khader Vali
Water Purification & AR Water Risks
Copper vessels naturally eliminate pathogens and nano-plastic, while reverse-osmosis (AR) water strips essential minerals, leading to electrolyte imbalance.
Copper vessels sterilise water and remove nano‑plastic particles
- Copper exhibits antimicrobial properties, killing bacteria, viruses and pathogenic microbes within 3‑5 hours.
- It also adsorbs plastic nanoparticles leached from plastic containers, rendering water safe.
- The guest recommends storing water in copper bottles for daily consumption.
Quote
01:06:02“copper bottle cleans up toxic materials including pathogenic virus bacteria in 3 to 5 hours” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:06:20“copper vessel removes plastic nanoparticles from water” — Dr. Khader Vali
AR (reverse‑osmosis) water lacks essential salts, causing electrolyte imbalance
- AR filtration removes virtually all dissolved minerals, leaving water with only 20‑30 ppm of total dissolved solids.
- Consuming such de‑mineralised water depletes the body’s sodium, potassium and magnesium stores.
- The resulting imbalance can trigger hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia and metabolic disorders.
Quote
01:12:58“AR water has absolutely no salts, maybe 20 or 30 ppm” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:13:13“drinking AR water creates salt imbalance leading to disease” — Dr. Khader Vali
Regular mineral water (2‑3 L/day) supports natural salt regulation
- The guest advises 2–3 L of water daily, allowing the body’s natural thirst mechanism to regulate intake.
- Sweating during walking expels excess salts, maintaining electrolyte homeostasis.
- Combining mineral water with copper purification maximises health benefits.
Quote
01:13:25“regular water with copper cleaning is good for you” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:11:48“you need 2-3 liters of water per day, body regulates itself” — Dr. Khader Vali
Walking as Optimal Exercise
Walking provides whole-body movement, balances electrolytes, and is especially vital for older adults. It outperforms running for cardiovascular health and joint safety.
Walking delivers full‑body exercise, from nails to hair
- Unlike targeted gym workouts, walking activates muscles throughout the body, including peripheral tissues.
- The rhythmic motion stimulates circulation, lymphatic drainage and skin health.
- This holistic stimulus supports organ function and immune resilience.
Quote
01:13:42“walking your muscles everything gets exercise from nails to hair” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:14:08“walking 2 hours daily is enough, no other exercise needed” — Dr. Khader Vali
Walking induces sweating, restoring salt balance essential for heart rhythm
- Moderate walking causes mild perspiration, which expels excess sodium and restores electrolyte equilibrium.
- Proper salt balance ensures the heart’s electrical signals fire correctly, preventing arrhythmias.
- Inadequate salt regulation leads to weak cardiac pumping despite normal blood volume.
Quote
01:12:12“walking makes you sweat, balancing salts, essential for heart electric signals” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:12:27“if salt balance not right heart doesn't pump properly” — Dr. Khader Vali
Age‑specific walking durations maintain physiological balance
- Adults 60‑70 years should walk at least 1.5 hours daily; those 70‑80 years should aim for 2 hours.
- As aging reduces metabolic rate, longer walks compensate for slower cellular turnover.
- Consistent walking preserves musculoskeletal strength, joint flexibility and mental health in seniors.
Quote
01:14:25“people 60-70 should walk minimum 1.5 hours, 70-80 walk 2 hours” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:14:30“as you grow old you should walk more to maintain balance” — Dr. Khader Vali
Sunrise Exposure & Circadian Health
Morning sunlight delivers 12 distinct electromagnetic frequencies that synchronize endocrine glands, boost vitamin D synthesis and improve mood, counteracting modern lifestyle-induced depression.
Sunrise emits 12 frequencies that regulate endocrine glands
- Each frequency aligns with specific glands (pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, etc.), orchestrating hormonal balance.
- The synchronized signal supports metabolism, stress response and immune function.
- Disruption of this pattern, common in indoor lifestyles, leads to hormonal chaos.
Quote
01:15:04“sunrise has 12 different frequencies each connecting to endocrine glands” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:15:50“these frequencies are needed for vitamin D synthesis” — Dr. Khader Vali
Lack of sunrise exposure leads to depression in northern latitudes
- Populations with limited winter sunlight report higher rates of seasonal affective disorder.
- Sunlight drives serotonin production and regulates melatonin, essential for mood stability.
- The guest urges daily early‑morning exposure to mitigate depressive symptoms.
Quote
01:16:12“northern hemisphere people without sun exposure get mentally depressed” — Dr. Khader Vali

01:18:55“sur namaskara at sunrise improves blood flow” — Dr. Khader Vali
De-Urbanization & De-Corporatization of Food
The guest calls for dismantling corporate control over seeds and food systems, restoring local millet cultivation, and reducing urban sprawl to protect ecological balance.
Corporate patents have stripped farmers of seed sovereignty
- Patents on millet and other grains force farmers to buy proprietary seeds, turning them into laborers.
- This loss of traditional varieties erodes biodiversity and food security.
- Restoring open‑source seed exchange is essential for resilient agriculture.
Quote
00:09:32“the patent culture took away the rights of the seeds of the farmers” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
00:09:47“farmers have been converted into laborers of this corporate companies” — Dr. Khader Vali
Urban sprawl reduces access to natural food sources and increases dependence on processed foods
- Rapid city growth compresses agricultural land, forcing reliance on imported, refined staples.
- The loss of green spaces diminishes local millet cultivation and traditional diets.
- Smaller, decentralized communities can sustain millet production and preserve ecosystems.
Quote
01:21:02“we are conglomerating into small spaces like Bangalore and you're living in my I'm happy as of now” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:21:33“urbanization is stopping because everyone wants to be in Bangalore because it is very close” — Dr. Khader Vali
Decarbonising food means shifting back to millet‑centric diets
- Millets require minimal water, no synthetic fertilizers, and sequester carbon, making them climate‑friendly.
- Replacing rice, wheat, dairy and refined oils with millets can cut greenhouse‑gas emissions dramatically.
- The guest envisions millets as the staple of a sustainable future.
Quote
01:26:32“millets are the most sustainable, most healthy and replenishing food of the future” — Dr. Khader Vali
Quote
01:27:02“unless you stop producing negative things rice wheat sugar milk and fall back into natural foods that are millets you have no future for human race” — Dr. Khader Vali
