The heavy oak doors of the Apostolic Palace hummed as they swung open, revealing an office that smelled of aged vellum and beeswax. JCJ walked in with a measured stride, his posture reflecting the discipline of a man used to high-stakes strategy. Across the ornate desk sat Pope Leo, his white robes stark against the deep crimson of the roomโs tapestries.
Pope Leo: (Looking up from a manuscript) “Mr. Jukic. They tell me you have been spending quite a bit of time navigating the old structures. The York Rite, I understand? A path of many steps.”
JCJ: “Itโs a linear journey, Your Holiness. One that leads to a very specific door. The Commandery of the Knights Templar.”
Pope Leo: (Leaning back, a faint smile playing on his lips) “The Templars. A name that carries a lot of weight in these hallsโsome of it historical, some of itโฆ complicated. Most choose the philosophical breadth of the Scottish Rite. Why choose the sword and the cross of the York?”
JCJ: “Because I value the completion of the story. In the Blue Lodge, things are lost. In the Royal Arch and the Cryptic degrees, they are recovered. But in the Commandery, those secrets are finally defended. Thereโs a certain clarity in a chivalric oath that you don’t find in abstract philosophy.”
Pope Leo: “Clarity. Yes, that is rare these days. But the Knight Templar degree requires a specific commitmentโa vow to defend the faith. In an age of shifting allegiances, that is a bold ‘right hand path’ to take.”
JCJ: “Iโve always preferred a clear objective. Life is like a grand strategy; you canโt win if you don’t know what you’re defending. To me, the York Rite isn’t just about degrees; itโs about the discipline of the warrior-monk. Itโs about the tradition of the High Middle Ages meeting the modern world.”
Pope Leo: (Nodding slowly) “It is a path of tradition, certainly. One that mirrors the structure of the Church in its own way. You seek the highest level, the Knight Templar. Tell me, Joeโwhen you finally stand at the altar with the mantle on your shoulders, what is it you hope to find?”
JCJ: “Not just a title, Your Holiness. Iโm looking for the realization that the ancient virtues haven’t disappeared. Theyโve just been waiting for people willing to walk the path to find them again.”
A sterile white room hums with futuristic equipment. JOE C. JUKIC and TOM CRUISE stand beside a glowing holographic display of a human eye. JEAN GREY, dressed in her dark X-Men uniform, looks skeptical but intrigued.
TOM CRUISE (enthusiastic) See, Jean โ in Minority Report, this is the moment. I had my eyes swapped out by this shady surgeon so I could evade the retinal scanners. It was raw, gritty… but visionary.
(He taps a button, and a holographic clip plays โ Tomโs character screaming as robotic arms delicately swap his eyes.)
JEAN GREY (tilting her head) That scene was brutal. But Iโve seen worse โ in the minds of surgeons and mutants alike. Still, youโre saying this could actually be done now? A cloned eye transplant?
JOE C. JUKIC (smiling) Itโs closer than you think, Jean. Theyโre growing optic nerves from stem cells now โ rebuilding the retina with the patientโs own DNA. The body canโt reject it. No more donor waiting lists.
TOM CRUISE Yeah. Imagine โ no prosthetics, no cyborg implants. Just a perfect biological match. A reborn eye.
JEAN GREY But the optic nerve… Thatโs the tricky part. You canโt just plug it back in. The brain has to learn to see again.
JOE C. JUKIC Thatโs where neuroplasticity comes in. The brain rewires itself. Given the right frequency stimulation โ light, sound, electromagnetic pulses โ it adapts. The trick is convincing the neurons to reconnect.
TOM CRUISE (laughing) Sounds like something out of Mission: Impossible.
JEAN GREY (softly, a little sad) For some of us… it is impossible. Vision isnโt just light โ itโs memory, emotion. You canโt clone those.
JOE C. JUKIC Maybe not yet. But the eye is the window of the soul, right? So if the soulโs still inside… maybe it can find its way back to the light.
TOM CRUISE (grinning, quoting himself) โSometimes youโve got to lose your eyes… to really see.โ
JEAN GREY (smiles faintly) That line wasnโt in Minority Report, Tom.
TOM CRUISE I know. Maybe it shouldโve been.
(They all laugh lightly. The holographic eye spins โ glowing blue, alive โ as if listening to them.)
Title: โ90 for Life: A Conversation on Nutritional Healingโ An interview between Joseph C. Jukic (JCJ) and Dr. Joel Wallach
[Scene: A studio in Vancouver. Warm lighting, two chairs, a table with water glasses and vitamin bottles. The camera pans in as Joseph C. Jukic sits across from the legendary Dr. Joel Wallach, author of Dead Doctors Donโt Lie.]
JCJ: Dr. Wallach, itโs an honor to finally sit with you. Iโve followed your work on minerals and the 90 essential nutrients for years. Youโve claimed muscular dystrophy isnโt a genetic curse but a nutritional deficiency disease. Thatโs a bold statement. Can you walk us through it?
Dr. Wallach: Absolutely, Joe. Itโs good to be here. The medical establishment has spent billions chasing genetic ghosts, but my research โ going back to my days as a pathologist and veterinarian โ shows that muscular dystrophy, like many so-called โincurableโ diseases, is caused by deficiencies of specific nutrients, particularly selenium, vitamin E, and the amino acids that protect muscle tissue from oxidative damage.
In animals, weโve known this for decades. You supplement the right minerals, the disease disappears. When I applied that same logic to humans, the results were incredible.
JCJ: Youโre saying what most people think is genetic can actually be reversed with nutrition?
Dr. Wallach: Exactly. When I was working with livestock, we saw muscular dystrophy in calves, lambs, and even turkeys. Every time, it traced back to a selenium deficiency. The muscles literally degenerate without antioxidant protection. Once we corrected the diet โ added selenium, vitamin E, and the full mineral complex โ the animals recovered. No genetics, no pharmaceuticals. Just nutrients.
The human body runs on the same biochemistry. If you give it the 90 essential nutrients โ thatโs 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2 essential fatty acids โ you give the body the tools to rebuild and repair itself.
JCJ: Thatโs your โ90 for Lifeโ philosophy โ the foundation of total health.
Dr. Wallach: Exactly. People think they can get everything they need from food, but thatโs a myth. Our soils are depleted. The minerals arenโt in the food anymore. You can eat organic kale all day, but if the soil doesnโt have selenium or vanadium, neither will your kale.
Thatโs why I tell people: supplement or suffer.
JCJ: Letโs talk specifics. If someone with muscular dystrophy or even early muscle weakness came to you, what would you prescribe?
Dr. Wallach: Iโd start them on the Healthy Body Start Pak 2.0, which provides all 90 essential nutrients โ the Beyond Tangy Tangerine, Osteo-FX, and EFA Plus. But for muscular dystrophy, you must go further. I recommend 200 to 400 micrograms of selenium, three times a day, along with extra vitamin E and glutathione support.
And of course, no fried foods, no wheat, barley, rye, or oats โ those destroy absorption in the gut.
JCJ: You always say, โItโs not what you take, itโs what you absorb.โ
Dr. Wallach: Exactly! You could be taking the best supplements in the world, but if your intestines are inflamed from gluten or fried foods, those nutrients will go right through you. Healing the gut is step one. Then the nutrients can reach the muscles and do their job.
JCJ: Some doctors say your claims about curing muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis are impossible. Whatโs your response to the critics?
Dr. Wallach: They said the same thing when I proved cystic fibrosis was caused by selenium deficiency in lab animals. I documented it, photographed it, and got it published. But when I tried to repeat the results in humans, the establishment shut me down because it threatened billion-dollar industries.
Weโre talking about diseases that generate donations, foundations, and pharmaceutical profits. The truth โ that theyโre nutritional โ would bankrupt the system.
JCJ: Thatโs powerful. So, if a young person watching this has a loved one with muscular dystrophy, what should they do tonight?
Dr. Wallach: Get informed. Watch Dead Doctors Donโt Lie. Read Epigenetics. Learn that genetic disease theory is outdated. Then, begin supplementation immediately โ the 90 for Life nutrients and extra selenium. Support the bodyโs healing systems.
And pray. Faith and nutrition together move mountains.
JCJ: Beautifully said, Doctor. Before we close, I want to thank you for your lifeโs work. Youโve given people hope โ and practical tools to fight back.
Dr. Wallach: Thank you, Joe. Remember: if you give your body everything it needs, it will do miracles for you. 90 for Life โ for everyone, every day.
