Dr. Jack Kruse: "So these guys that came back from Camp Shelby, it was very interesting. The guys that had the worst PTSD, the worst damage, weren't the people that were missing legs and arms. It turned out that these people that had horrible injuries actually didn't get PTSD. Do you know why? They had massive releases of vasopressin. What did the vasopressin do? The vasopressin stimulated the regeneration programs in them almost immediately.

"Now to someone like you that probably sounds so counterintuitive. But based on what I told you in the first hour and a half of this podcast you're like, 'Oh fuck.'"

Sheryl Utal: "Makes sense. Yeah."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "'There's the perfect analogy of why pain really matters.'

"I want you to think about now childbirth differently. The pain of childbirth actually is the stimulus for the woman to make even more vasopressin so that she can heal her own body. And what we do in medicine? We put a fucking needle in the lady's back. . ."

Sheryl Utal: "The epidural. Yeah."

Dr. Jack Kruse: ". . . so she can't feel anything."

Sheryl Utal: "It's insane."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "You realize what you just did? You understand?"

Sheryl Utal: "Yes."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "And the thing is, you say this to people who don't understand my perspective, it looks like I'm crazy. And then when you understand my perspective you start to go, 'Jesus Christ, is there anything that we do in the modern world that doesn't fuck this thing up?'"
