#1117 – The Expat Files: Johnny Mueller on Stem Cell Treatments, Seminars, and Life in Latin America

Automatically transcribed from the original recording; names and wording may contain errors.

[00:00] South of the border down Mexico way That's where I fell in love when the stars above came up to play and now as I wonder Hello there all you ex-pat wannabes. I'm Johnny Mueller and you're listening to the expat files living in Latin America The show that tells you just what it's like to live work play and or retire down here in Latin America It's a mix of the good the bad the ugly and the great And it's all right here. So let's get started Alright back in the saddle again after my little brush with Covid, you know, everyone's gonna get it eventually, right? You know that and now according to most all scientific real reports. I've got lifetime immunity or close to it. Isn't that nice?

[00:47] It seems everywhere you turn someone knows a person or two or three or four who are down with it Meanwhile 90% of the world following mainstream idiots like dr. Falsy Every six months for life lunacy tell you what I did. I did the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine vitamin D and zinc protocol Went to the stem cell clinic twice in the DR the one that I'm taking my brother through to detox and get down from his 22 prescription meds a last-ditch effort to to nullify his programmed knee and shoulder replacement surgeries He's trying to avoid prosthetic joints Wouldn't you look the guys already been through five knee and shoulder surgeries up in the States now He's a walk-in pain ball with knee supports in a cane. So anyway, when I got the COVID I popped into the stem cell clinic

[01:35] I'm bringing my brother back and forth to I had two treatments of IV vitamin C and IV ozone I knew that would help and it did Anyway, speaking of that stem cell clinic in the DR. I've been talking about last couple of shows I've been getting all kinds of emails from people saying Johnny. Where is it? Tell me how to get there What's it cost? Give me the lowdown Well, I'm not gonna give you the lowdown until I straighten out a few things with them because remember It's completely in Spanish and if you come down and your Spanish sucks, so you know, no Spanish at all You're gonna have a tough time. Yeah sure the doc speak a little English, but not enough for the detailed stuff You're gonna need to have translated and the lady at the front desk in charge the doctor's wife She's Swiss and speaks English, but she's not there every day. So right now. I'm working out a plan with them They're translating all their admission forms into English at my request

[02:22] Then you'll be able to go online download those forms fill them out Send them back to the doctor's wife her and the doc's there will review everything and come up with the treatment plan How long it's gonna take and what's gonna cost and they'll tell you a kind of radiography or tomography You need to have done if you're gonna have a joint or two or three injected with stem cells You can choose to have those scans done up in the states Of course, that's an option which will probably cost you an arm and a leg unless you have insurance Or you can have them done when you get to the clinic at the lab They recommend right down the street or it's ridiculously cheap For example, my brother came down had scans in his shoulders and knees the total cost 400 bucks and the blood work He needed a hundred in the states without insurance that had set him back at least two grand Probably a lot more the thing is though. I know Americans start lots of tire kickers out there

[03:10] I get them with my seminar all the time people promise they're coming to the seminar They send me a bunch of emails over the months leading up to the seminar and then suddenly Sorry, Johnny can't make it can't fit into my schedule after I've wasted all kinds of time answering questions So I don't want to look like a fool in front of these stem cell people I don't want what happens to me sometimes to happen to them. It would be a bad reflection on me So if you're gonna fill out an intake form send it to him and let them do a workup on you They're gonna have to charge you something Now the first office visit when they do the workup check out the form do the physical and stuff Check out the lab work, etc. Is about 50 bucks So I'm gonna suggest to them to eliminate the window shoppers and tire kickers and to just deal with people who are really serious about it That they charge the $50 office call to do the workup. It's only fair

[03:56] I know how it is to have tire kickers dump a million questions on you waste a lot of time and then all sudden Drop out at the last minute or just disappear and even for you listeners out there who know some Spanish and can negotiate your way Through a situation like that. I'm not gonna refer anyone or making recommendations till I work this plan out again I want to refer serious clients not tire kickers and window shoppers and think about it. I do all the research I don't make a thing off this I'm doing it as a public service because I know it works I don't need to do this and all it takes is one or two people wind up being pesky time wasters to sour the whole idea So please for now quit with the emails asking all the questions about the stem cell clinic I'm not the answer man. You'll have to wait till the English intake form is ready I'll certainly let you know when that happens and I'll give you a blow-by-blow on what's happening

[04:41] My brother who's getting the complete workup and he's probably the best test case There is that said a few words about the upcoming seminar kicks off in about five weeks now From when the show goes out on Friday, January 14th. So seminar day one is Friday, February 18th That's the day we went our Guatemala contingent to arrive at the Guatemala Airport And we'll want everyone flying Intel Salvador Airport to come in Saturday, February 19th It's a week long. We'll be going between Guatemala and El Salvador You know Bitcoin Beach and all that and there's still time to sign on vaxxed or not because you've probably heard you got to be Vaxxed to fly into Guatemala, but you don't take it Intel Salvador So people who aren't facts will be flying Intel Salvador and the people who are vexed into Guatemala

[05:28] We've got a nice plan worked out. So everyone will get to see exactly what they're hoping to see We've still got some spaces left So just go to expat plan b.com and click on this seminar link for all the info and sign-up details Meanwhile as big brother tries to get its hooks into everyone even people down here in Latin America comes this email from mr G with yet more bad news coming out of Mexico. He says Johnny Hopefully this email finds you content and happily embroiled in formulating your next seminar Then he gives me a link to an interviewer who just moved to Mexico in the Guadalajara area from a cash stand and apparently Jalasco State here in Mexico He says is taking orders directly from Davos that is worldwide big brother and not president Lopez Obador who's been pretty loosey-goosey lately about covid it rules and such because he knows if they lock down

[06:18] That is the end for tourism. Anyway, turns out he says they're posting cameras all over Guadalajara Giving out speeding tickets right and left my internet on top of that You're not allowed to pay cash if you're parking a city parking lot You must download an app on your enslaving smartphone Talk about enforcement of state digital IDs. No government app. No parking Meanwhile farther south in old-fashioned decrepitly corrupt, Oaxaca State It seems to be in another country completely within Mexico Here the politicals are content to steal and not install any surveillance infrastructure at least not so far It's characteristic of a failing state. The federal seem to be fading out and the state governments are ruling In fact, I rarely see any federal police car on the roads here anymore

[07:06] Not here in Oaxaca where I live says mr. G Still the occasional cargo truck filled with National Guard troops rumbles on by but what they're tasked to do is beyond me He says I'd be curious how you see the obvious global push to technocratic control and abolishment of capitalism in Backward third world countries of Central America He says I'm beginning to feel people who love liberty will find these spots and make a stand against the global state Well, mr. G thanks for that but I don't think freedom lovers want to take a stand against the state because they know they're gonna lose because the state has the military and the guns you just have to go to a state that has a very very weak government and a military that's totally inept and Useless, that's why I'd be like Guatemala

[07:51] I'll sell that are in a handful of other Latin American countries so much I think every smart person who loves Liberty knows he's just got to get the hell out of dodge and vote with his feet I don't get it people who think they can make a stand up in the States Come on Don't waste of time and money to set up a last stand look how people in Texas are trying to do that Admire him for a while, but you see it's useless and it only costs lots of money You're never gonna win You're just gonna have to vote with your feet and I don't mean vote with your feet and go to Texas Like a lot of people have done to me. That's just a short-sighted intermediary plan. You got to get the hell out of the country Now mr. G you made the case for Mexico how Guadalajara is turning into a kind of a police state Well, you know why that is don't you that's because it's Mexico's University town on top of that

[08:39] It's got hundreds of medical centers and hospitals and research centers. It's become Mexico's high-tech town So what do you expect all that high-tech brings with it nerds geeks and surveillance? But more than that a technological way to pick your pocket That's why I appreciate places so much like Guatemala El Salvador and even the Dominican Republic I ought to tell you about their tax structure sometime or let's say lack of I've been there a bunch of times You know, they've got that stem cell clinic there and I'm there with my brother So I've been putting a lot of time in there lately and I've yet to meet a Dominican small businessman who's ever filed a tax form Even people who own these little clothing stores and tiendas. They tell me once they've got the permit to open the sanitary permit That's it. Nobody ever visits them again Plus they've got this really great law that says if your house is worth a hundred thousand dollars or less

[09:26] You never pay a dime in property taxes ever All they pay is a transfer tax of around two and a half to three percent and that's it So what do people do if their houses were two or three or four hundred thousand bucks? Well, ask me about that in person someday because they got a workaround on that too And somehow it's legal In fact, my seminar team has been pushing me to do the next one in a Dominican Republic That might just come off and then of course, we'll all visit stem cell clinic. So we're thinking about it Stay tuned. Keep you posted. All right. Now, you know what the seminar we've promised to hit Bitcoin Beach and see what that's all about Meanwhile, there are people interested doing the very same thing on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala You know one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Listen to this email that just came in a while back

[10:11] It's at least a month old. They haven't gotten to it because I get in so many emails. I can't answer them all He says hey Johnny. I'm starting a Bitcoin project in Guatemala in panachella Lake Atitlan He says my family and I traveled to panachella Guatemala every summer for six years to help with a Christian ministry in panachella and to help with a school, too After that my surgical practice and entrepreneurial endeavors started to consume all my time and energy So I hadn't been back down for a while But over the last year our desire to re-engage with the community reignited so my wife and I began to look for opportunities In early 2021, I learned about Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador and the wheels started turning My desire was to bring a Bitcoin Beach model to panachella Which is a beautiful town in Lake Atitlan in Guatemala and highlands Lake Atitlan is consistently rated as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world

[10:59] However, looks can be deceiving. The lake is surrounded by farming communities And the farmers don't use sustainable techniques and use chemicals which eventually find their way into the lake And as with all developing countries infrastructure environmental protection and etc are not priorities for the government Hmm. All right me Johnny here. You know, I have absolutely no use for anyone who sticks up for a latin american government They're all Incidiously corrupt and when someone says the environment is not a priority for a latin government Say man, you got to take your goody two shoes off and look at the world like it really is Everyone I know who's had a government contract in whatever latin country has been stiffed Including me in the early days when I did voiceovers for commercials for governments. I got stiffed So you got to do things on your own Like for example the Bitcoin Beach idea

[11:45] Anyway, then he says in the fishing villages around the lake the debris in the water and on the land is a common sight So our long-term goal would be to bring bitcoin mining to panachella and help build out a better power infrastructure grid for the community The idea he says is to begin a circular economy in panachella The children for example can be paid in satoshis for doing chores modeled on the bitcoin beach in el salvador in this case Cleaning lake at the land would be the initial goal since pana is a vibrant town There are many shops auto rickshaw drivers both taxis and craft vendors that are targets for bitcoin adoption Then he says the success of bitcoin beach in el salvador in the town of el sante Was in large part due to an anonymous donor who wanted to implement bitcoin circular economy combined with a guy named roman martinez's local

[12:31] knowledge and love for the community He says as of november 4th, we have pledges for around nearly nine thousand dollars All right. So it sounds like great idea. He wants to come on my show and talk about it But you know me well your long-time listeners do anyway In the 1117 shows I only had one guest An expert expect tax account and I got lots of emails saying it was dead boring. So Nuff said about that. However, i'm open to having the guy come down and talk to us at the seminar So we'll see if we can fit that in Looks like he's doing all the right things He's following exactly in the footsteps of how el salvador did it and he's learned a few lessons from what they did wrong As you know, it's a brand new thing a startup You can't do everything right sometimes you just push on ahead let the chips fall where they lie Like for example in el salvador especially in bitcoin beach and the coastal areas there

[13:20] It was difficult to get the old-time vendors and the old people in general to put The bitcoin app on their smartphone. A lot of them didn't even have a smartphone that would take the app So the bitcoin people they know now they should have concentrated on all the young kids everyone under let's say 25 who live on Their cell phones even though they're dirt poor they're on their cell phone all the time So they wasted a lot of time chasing their tails with the older folks, but the young people picked up the slack in a hurry And of course, you probably heard there's been some hacking going on and those chivo wallets in el salvador You know the government puts 30 with the bitcoin in your chivo wallet if you just download the app. It's free And as it turns out as hackers like to do they find vulnerabilities and they found one and lots of wallets have had their 30 Swiped and how'd that happen? Well in order to get the wallet you got to upload your sedula

[14:09] You know That's your national id card with a scan a picture of it on your cell phone and it turns out The app's not smart enough to know if the person setting up the chivo account If he or she is the same person on the sedula So as long as you have a legitimate sedula number and they're floating around everywhere You know how much clickbait there is out there you give away a free happy meal You just put in your email and your sedula number And now you're settling numbers on the internet and in the cloud somewhere for anyone to hack So anyway, they've had that startup problem, but luckily in nearly all cases It's only a loss of 30 bucks But still that stuff's got to be fixed and in a hurry to regain the people's confidence in the system All right now an email from brad He says hi john You heard that guadamala grows most if not all of its own food Other than the toxic junk food floating in from the u.s. Of course All right, brad. Let's get one thing straight through our huge junk food factories throughout latin america

[14:59] And it's cheap and dirty junk food plus the usual dorito stuff, but hey, it's everywhere That's why latin americans are obese The latest number is over 50% Anyway, brad goes on to say my question is this most of the food they grow in guadamala for example stay in that country Second question is a lot of that homegrown food more or less organic Or do they typically use a lot of chemicals like mexico does Seems like if food shortages in the states become an issue. It'd be a good place to be Thanks for all the great shows brad All right brad. Thanks for that as for question number one guadamala produces way more food than they could possibly consume They export a lot of it to the adjacent countries But I don't think too much of it ends up in the states though some avocados I know do and of course guadamala exports tremendous amounts of coffee now as far as organic, you know

[15:47] In order to get certified organic costs thousands of dollars in a couple of years of monitoring by specific organic food agencies And since about 90 percent of the farmers in guadamala are small truck farmers with just a couple of acres of land That's never going to happen No one would ever think of dropping a few grand to have this stuff certified organic It would be completely out of the question But it's true most of them use small amounts of herbicides and pesticides But I said small amounts because that stuff's expensive and these guys are just living day to day Most of these small farmers don't even have tractors Just take a ride in the county. You'll see people hacking away at their fields with machetes It's a country where they still use massive amounts of manual labor in the agricultural sector Take for example when you do a walkthrough in one of those big produce markets

[16:36] You pick up an avocado you look at it. It doesn't look like it's been sprayed. It looks pretty clean Same thing with melons though. I gotta say I picked up a few tomatoes and big old papayas, man Those good for you And i've noticed here and there some kind of residue of some spraying And I understand they spray the hell out of carrots the big ones that are fantastically huge But the smaller more normal looking ones, they don't spray but the big ones they nail them So i'd stay away from those And when I say big man, you've never seen a carrot that big in the u.s So knowing that some stuff's always going to be sprayed at least a bit I for example wash the skin of papaya and then just cut skin off Because 98% of the time a fruit or vegetable with a really thick husk Will not allow an herbicide or pesticide to penetrate beyond the superficial surface

[17:26] But when you're talking about things like peppers tomatoes strawberries grapes, etc Fruits and vegetables with very thin skins, you're always taking a chance However, i've noticed in the big supermarket chains in the produce area They've always got a few items that are organically grown big sign there, especially with bananas eggs grapes mushrooms and some other stuff And that stuff's obviously coming from big old farms that have paid thousands of dollars to get certified organic Now if you live close to antigo guatemão There are two big organic produce farms that grow everything organically and they've got a little store attached where you can buy Anything you want all organic now, of course, they've got cost go all over latin america, too It's called price mark down here and they've got quite a bit of organic stuff available there, too And the produce since it's so time dependent. They don't ship in from other countries. They get it locally

[18:14] So when you buy avocados bananas potatoes in costco, it's coming right from the local farms It's just not worth it to ship it in from the states usually california unless otherwise marked on the package For example, I buy organic blueberries at costco because I don't think they grow them in latin america But they grow the hell out of raspberries blackberries and strawberries down here But I wouldn't touch the strawberries and i'll tell you why If you look it up, you'll find that the most sprayed fruit known to man And because of the porosity of a strawberry and the little hairs it's got It's almost impossible to wash that stuff out. It clings and penetrates However, when the day comes that someone actually sells organic strawberries. I'll be first in line Now as long as i've been down here in latin america

[19:00] I've never ever seen food shortages anywhere In fact when you go through one of the big produce markets and we do that during the seminar You'll just see mountains of spoiled fruit. They're throwing away They toss enough to feed an army every single day That's why for all the poor people you see selling corn plums avocados and such for nickels and dimes in that market They're just as happy as can be they're all well fed No one's starving and half of the people who sell in the big markets live in lean to shacks Nearby to their stalls without running water. That's why when someone at the market offers me a free taste. I never tasted Fact is the way it works is every morning before dawn truck drivers pull in with a truckload of produce And they sell it to any number of a hundred different ladies and guys operating little vegetable stands

[19:49] They buy a load for cash and sometimes they take out a loan from the local loan shark who's right on the premises Who charges them maybe five or ten percent a day? But they pay them back at the end of the day after they've sold So the truck farmers themselves don't have a stand at the big market They just sell to the locals who have little stands and they make their percentage by sorting the stuff Cleaning it and making a nicer decent display of the stuff And as a family affair too, you see mom and dad with the kids and a couple of little swaddling babies It's a tradition that is not going to change soon. You gotta love it It's the best competition walnut ever had but you know, lots of gringles and expats are afraid to go to those big markets Why because for one thing they don't speak spanish and no one really speaks english there Not when you're way off the tourist trail like I usually am

[20:36] And wealthy latinos and latinos wouldn't want to be caught dead there for them. It's a step down They want to be seen at first world stores In fact, they dress up to go to costco And if you're near a parking lot near the big market and you see a range rover or a big SUV That's usually a sign of a rich mama whose fortunes have fallen With walmart and costco being a little bit too expensive now She'll send her cleaning lady to the big market and do her shopping for her because in the big market It's less than half maybe even a quarter of what should pay at walmart or costco again called price mart down here And of course, it's fresher too because the truck farmers are coming in every morning Who knows how many days an year of corn's been on the shelf in walmart? Though ultimately the best idea if you're worried about food As far as pesticides and herbicides that is get a place with a garden or a nice big yard

[21:23] Plant a couple fruit trees lemons oranges pears avocados papaya You got a ton to choose from and tend to them yourself do the organic thing And when your trees put out you'll have a huge pile of rotten fruit too You'll have to give buckets of it away to the neighbors by the way Here's something you'll never know unless you've lived down here a long while and lived out in the boonies, too In fact all the big chicken farms i'm not talking about the commercial industrial ones talking about the little farmer chicken farms They've always got a couple of 50 pound sacks of chicken poop available for purchase Often sitting by the driveway near the side of the road In fact when my gardener was planting trees and shrubs and bushes around the yard He said let's go get the fertilizer We jumped in the car and we didn't stop at the feed store where they got dupont monsanto and all those Gene-distorting synthetic brands. Well, we drove around 20 minutes to a big old private chicken farm and bought about 10 sacks of chicken poop

[22:17] Thankfully it was sealed in the sack and dry It's in big demand and cheap and recyclable Now i'm not a gardener, but if I was into gardening, I never would have thought of that I just went on the internet and picked up some kind of organic or near organic fertilizer and that would be it But the locals they know they've got history and tradition behind them Oh, and by the way when you're in a small town or in any corner store out in the boonies You'll see when you go to the checkout More than a couple of boxes of fresh eggs And I mean they are fresh from that day and I remember this one expat lady name was patty I was in one of those little stores with her and I picked up some eggs and she said yeah I have to get some too, but I don't want to get them here because I got poop on them And sure enough when you open the carton you always open the carton see if there's any cracked ones, right? A few of them had small glops of poop and feathers on them. I said patty

[23:03] These are the freshest most organic you're ever going to get the driveway chickens around here are producing these eggs I said just take them home and rinse them off. Then they'll be like the store-bought eggs Only a thousand percent fresher and more organic and she said oh, no It's just the thought of it and then I said to her you know Why those eggs have poop and feathers on them because with chickens and all egg layers the egg comes out of the same hole as their poop and she looked at me and she thought I was joking and she said No way. I said i'll bet you a bitcoin and that was when bitcoin was around 1200 bucks a pretty substantial bet She said no, that's okay. I don't know if you're joking or not and i'm not a betting person Well, guess what a couple of months later the next seminar I had she showed up for one of the meet and greets She said my apologies. Johnny. You were right about the eggs and the poop hole But until you mentioned it ignorance was bliss

[23:50] I wish you wouldn't have told me and I said so has it changed your breakfast habits And she just made a face And now an email from one of our asian listeners This comes from xin one Mr. Z He says johnny happy new year all of the best wishes for 2022 I noticed that nowadays many people are moving to portugal any opinions about this country? I think it's a good place since it's so far away from china and russia Hope to hear from you soon Sincerely, mr. Z Well, thanks for that. Mr. Z. You know, i've been to portugal. I think now four times I personally like the algarve coast. It's really nice and laid back to the point sometimes of being boring But i'd never want to live there and i'll tell you why Not because I don't like the place and not because it's tough to get residency or anything like that

[24:37] Because it isn't it's pretty easy to get residency But mr. Z, you know Every single country is completely bankrupt in this world right now, you know that right? And what do countries do once they've taxed the shit out of everyone? And they know if they push any harder, it'll be the straw that breaks the camel's back and there'll be a revolution Well, they go to war because that unites people Nationalism patriotism and all that just look at afghanistan and the gulf wars completely foolish and idiotic moves But all those strapping young american boys wanted to go and kick some arabesque Especially since 9 11 which by all appearances seemed to be a setup to get it into a war Remember there was no draft like vietnam. They didn't need a draft. They had plenty testosterone fueled young men signing up Anyway, mr. Z. I don't know if you're paying attention, but russia is about to boil over china is about to boil over

[25:27] israel and the arabs are always on the verge of boiling over and portugal still on the european continent and Everywhere in europe is a strategic target every country has nuclear power plants and those are all strategic targets That's why in the long term. I like latin america so much. There's nothing strategic about it anywhere except the panama canal Which is the big reason I wouldn't want to live there And I don't want to be within a two or three countries of that place Meanwhile every major city bridge and port in europe has nukes aimed at it. You got to know that What are the stats and you can hardly believe them russia's got 22 000 nukes in the u.s. What 30 000 nukes What do you think they're aimed at bottom line? I'd never want to live in europe There's powder cakes and hate brewing everywhere Now i've been to europe lots of times and last time I was there about oh

[26:15] Three and a half years ago now stayed over a month. The place was flooded with illegal africans and muslims In fact every time I sat alone on a park bench Some black as cold african guy would sit next to me Open up his backpack and show me all the rip-off pirated gucci stuff he had for sale And then he'd get a call on his cell phone from an accomplice telling him where the cops were and that he had three minutes to get Out because that was the cop's eta That must happen to me 10 times last time I was in europe and that was three and a half years ago And it's twice as bad now So yeah, mr Z portugal is a nice place, but I wouldn't count on it staying that way For the long term or with any such place in europe for that matter And even if there's limited war there's always limited war all the refugees are going to be piling in like crazy

[27:03] Like they are already Oh and mr Z don't worry I get those blurbs about portugal and other places to retire all the time Slovenia and dora montanagro lots of calm european countries calm for the time being but they're all In a very likely zone of conflict when the feces hits the fan So go ahead mr Z if you trust government bureaucrats and maggot heads to keep a lid on all that go ahead move to portugal You've got way more faith in those maggotist dickheads than I ever will just saying You've been listening to the expat files living in latin america If you need some help with your own plan b we can schedule a one-on-one phone or skype consult Just send me an email the expat files at gmail.com And if you want to get on the waiting list for my next week-long expat insider seminar in central america
