I met Paul while hiking and was totally shocked at a shelter he made by hand in the woods it was so incredible. He was so chill he invited me to the Amazon with a team we met at Rei in soho New York. I never went although the cost would have been around $ 2000 I want to say it was around 2011 we met ..still he. Looks exactly the same and strong.

why not just study tropical parasites and find out how to eradicate them in this country since they HAVE been brought here and a lot of people have them, passed down from previous generations and never treated. There are remedies but this is an extremely neglected area of medicine. millions of americans have them , from previous generations that came from tropical regions or whatever . ( mother to baby , pets, or environmental transmission.)
I appreciate the host and his knowledge of the Amazon. This is the best Rosolie interview out of all of them.
This is the second interview I've seen and this guy is absolutely fascinating. I'll tune again and hear more of what he has to say.

Paul is the real 1%. I am not physically or intellectually capable of doing what he does. No more than I could play in the NBA. But I can celebrate what he does. And learning from him inspires me to be a better human the way I can.
38:05 that happened to me when I returned to UK with two sites of green pus Leishmaniasis on my arm. It’s a parasite not a bacteria, transferred by sandflies. I had 3 months of a daily injection of sodium stibogluconate, it eventually went, no side affects. My tropical disease doctor was super excited about it all…

It’s fascinating to hear what the wild parts of the world still hold as most of us deal with traffic jams, cell phones and stresses about work. It’s hard to listen to how there humans are humans who only think about making money. I loved the end with the talk about the animal interactions. The baby anteater had my eyes watering.
Your podcast was so awesome I loved yours and your guests stories so educational and interesting Thankyou for sharing !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😀😀 throughly enjoyed it.
Great content!
Best rule of thumb on dealing with people like uncontacted tribes is to never bring any city bs.
Better interview than the others ❤️
I absolutely adore Paul Rosalie and he looks like a beautiful rare creature from the Amazon. Those eyes tell stories and go back to ancient time. He’s mesmerizing 🥰 the story of Lou Lou the baby ant eater captures my heart ♥️ what a life w/meaning & purpose. I’ve been to that part of Amazon 2 times & can relate to all the stories. 🍃🌿🍃🌿🌱♥️
Around 27 minute mark, among the missionaries he is speaking of, was Jim Elliot, and his wife ended up still going to that tribe, showing them forgiveness and the love of Jesus, and they came to be friends and Elizabeth stayed with them awhile. There was a movie made about this, called "The Edge of the Spear." ❤

Great content! Do you think you’ll be making anymore videos like these anytime soon?
This Guy is so awesome his story and storys are nothing short of amazing 💯💯
If I ever had the money I would definitely take a trip to the amazon with this guy as a guide.Right up there with a trip to Guadalupe for a week on that awesome liveabord to dive with the great white sharks.
The fact that Paul is from NY but goes to the Amazon makes him so relatable i love how he makes references to city life to help us understand what its like there he is awesome
Excellent show.
Much respect for Paul!!
Great interview Paul Rosolie is pretty awesome as a person
This is my favorite episode
Awesome adventures, Thanks 🐸
We encountered Bullet Ants in the Costa Rica rain forest. They were intimidating but we just had to stay clear of them. Of course I wasn’t sleeping out there. I was just hiking. Such an an amazing ecosystem. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life. So cool. Vines growing on trees and animals living on those and bugs living on those. It is such a crazy diverse system. Seeing the turtles lay eggs on the beach in Costa Rica while jaguars and raccoons and vultures and sharks and crocodiles and hundreds of other animals all interact together for this birthing process was amazing. It made me feel so connected to life and disconnected from the bullshit of our American life.
I am glad I ran into this video very interesting and great conversations, I loved it. Thank you again. Paul is so hansom.
That was SO MUCH FUN!

I was taught a lot about animal intelligence and emotional capability by pet rats of all animals. To most people, rat is a filthy bottomfeeder. A disgusting animal carrying diseases or diseased parasites. And while that might be true about rats living in suburban areas, rats infesting various food storage areas or food processing plants etc., there's a lot more to them than that. Rats are actually absolutely amazing, highly intelligent, very social and very emotional animals. They have distinct individual characters, social hierarchy, they have moods, they even have language that combines squeeks, facial expressions, whisker positions and even touching and nipping each other. They can make fun of each other, and we've seen them even making fun of people. And very recent research already confirmed that rats actually do laugh. They can feel love, they can feel fear and they can feel rage and everything inbetween. They mourn the loss of their rat pals. Rats are so similar to humans, it's unbelievable. Think about it. When an animal as small as a rat, is actually this complex, what about the bigger animals? What about pigs, what about cows? How intelligent must really be a dolphin or a whale? It's absolutely horrendous when you realize what is happening to highly emotional, intelligent creatures on a daily basis. You gotta switch the empathy off, otherwise you'd go mental.
Paul you have great channel one of thee best out 🎉
Literally one of my heroes. INCREDIBLE!
Amazing person and amazing stories, a facinating life he has had and hopfully more adventures in the future. We all can't and shouldn't go to the Amazon but both of these men descibe it in a way that brings it to life better than any doc I have seen.

There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with going to the Amazon. It's actually beneficial for more people to see it. Because the more who actually see it's beauty in person the more who will take saving it seriously. I spent a month in the Amazon and will forever be one of my most amazing experiences of my life. It was 8 years ago that I went an when I sit an think about it I can still smell the jungle and hear all the sounds. I will be going back an this time plan to spend a few months. It's an absolutely amazing place.

How do we get in contact with him to help?
21:00 the I contacted tribes thing is so different. In Africa they first contacted the Hazda in the 60s and they were completely peaceful. I’ve only seen records of them killing a poacher who murdered one of them in 2012. Like people have lived with the hazda to learn from them and film some of their traditional practices like how they refine natural poisons to be strong enough to kill something faster but weak enough to eat the meat.

I was bit by a bullet ant in Pucallpa. Incredible pain immediately! Lucky I had just gotten Dragon's blood sap; i put it on the bite and immediately got relief! Other people got bit and the swelling and pain was intense. I tried to give them the Dragon's blood serum but they didn't believe me, also it might have been too late! It took them days! I felt bad.
You're up against an unstoppable force! Commuting city dwellers with a Starbucks coffee and a smart phone, Amazon delivery drivers and Ford explorer driving soccer moms are the clueless people you're battling.
Guy heals himself with plants like in Far Cry.
Jordan first introduced me to 'The Lost City of the Monkey Gods' and now this. I think I'm officially traumatized and I definitely have zero desire to go anywhere near tropical rainforests. I like my northern hemisphere way of living a lot more. I've been to the rainforest in Washington state. That's more my kind of thing. I couldn't handle this guy's book. I will not be purchasing.

Suggestion, tell a major pharmaceutical company that you can get them the compounds that cured you if they send some mercs down to clean out the Gold Miners. And the Lulu story is fantastic. Yes, I would also go with that was her saying HI.
Jordan in reference to your belief that there is way less molestation now then in previous generations, (Ep.#825) considering the world population has almost doubled since 1980 statistically speaking odds are theres at least as much if not more today...?

Everyone that is physically able and has the desire to understand and experience the Amazon should totally make the trip.
Out of everything this man said, the least believable was that he turned down the cartel drugs. Who wouldn’t want to go skiing in the Amazon.
It's odd that he went from new york to the amazon one jungle to the next....great man
I'd love to hear some creation stories from those parts. Do they believe in the globe model? Germ theory?
Use dragon's blood sap to heal from bites and other skin problems! In the Amazon I was bit by a huge ant, tremendous pain! I put dragon's blood on it and it healed immediately! Others were bit and didn't use the dragon's blood, their wounds swelled dramatically and the pain lasted for days😢 I wish they would have listened to me!
Very interesting
I have seen some great other interviews with Rosalie, but the great thing about this one is that Jordan also has experienced the amazon, which is obviously appreciated by Rosalie
Man thank god for chapters
I just bought his book "Mother of God" can't wait to read it. Fascinating stuff.
My Father fell over laughing half a century ago when I began yelling save the Amazon, cut it down, ruin the world climate and pharmacy.

Our dogs and cats knew I was pregnant before I did. The cows and pigs did too. My horse became so gentle and calm like not ever before. When my family talked about it later we understood what they knew before we did. ALL OF THESE CREATURES BECAME EXTREMELY PROTECTIVE AND DEFENSIVE WITH EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING THEY DID NOT KNOW. meaning: ALL human beings that I had not ever met or known to our family they got very NOT accepting of these. I understood my animal companions would SERIOUSLY DAMAGE AND HURT THEM. I remember clearly understanding my creatures NEW FRIENDS were in grave danger. Especially our mare at one point was so out of control my concern was she would literally kill this woman that I brought to the barn. THIS EXACT WOMAN WAS FOUND MUCH LATER TO HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF THE MOST BRUTAL CRUEL EVIL WICKED SAVAGE CRIMES AGAINST ALL CREATURES. she was extremely wealthy and powerful so she didn't go to prison for life, less than a decade. I REPEAT WHEN THIS WOMAN ENTERED OUR PROPERTY ALL THE ANIMALS RIOTED. CHICKEN DUCKS GOOSE TURKEYS WENT OFF THE SCALES SCREAMING! our donkey which had not ever made a sound and we thought couldn't ran around screaming as well. THE MOST TELLING IS ALL OUR SHEEP RAN FAR AWAY. creepy but true. ALL OF THE ANIMALS!!! squirrels birds every single creature screaming THIS WOMAN IS NOT GOOD!!!! send her away. SEND HER AWAY FROM US!!!! right now make her leave our place. Whenever I think back about it my heart is broken because this woman was so excellent at deceiving humans but NOT THE ANIMALS. cardinals, blue birds, robins, crows, ALL animals were warning me but I didn't understand. ANIMALS DO KNOW WHAT HUMANS DON'T. Amazing and creepy at the same time
