00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:15,046
The true message of
"The Way of Miracles"
2
00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:18,316
is that my life and the lives
of the people that I work with
3
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:22,606
represent a story that
underscores the point that
4
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:25,306
people are more
powerful, more capable,
5
00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:27,946
of doing wonderful things
and making miracles than
6
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:29,836
they're presently aware of.
7
00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:33,528
The Buddha said, "as
we think so we become."
8
00:00:33,552 --> 00:00:35,236
So if you want to
become a miracle maker,
9
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:37,510
you have to start thinking
about yourself differently.
10
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:45,716
For the past 35 years, I've
seen 60,000 appointments.
11
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:49,136
I started in my practice
in 1982 with the notion
12
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,626
that I was going to be
helping people lose weight.
13
00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:54,416
I'm thinking simple
basic nutrition 101.
14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,856
Surprise, surprise,
people started
15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,056
coming in right
away with problems
16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,446
that I felt really badly about.
17
00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:00,863
I felt so much compassion for
so many of these people that
18
00:01:00,887 --> 00:01:02,066
needed help.
19
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:04,016
So I decided I was
going to give it a try.
20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,516
As far as I knew,
nutrition couldn't
21
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:08,366
do half of what I ultimately
found out that it can do.
22
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:11,660
But it was a process of
discovery one person at a time.
23
00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:18,156
So my name is Kate.
24
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:21,246
I was 29 years old,
when my husband
25
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:23,406
and I decided that it
would be an ideal time
26
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:24,330
to start our family.
27
00:01:24,354 --> 00:01:25,746
When it didn't
happen immediately,
28
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:30,666
we sought help from doctors
and became increasingly more
29
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:33,906
heartbroken and frustrated that
we had not met with success.
30
00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:36,546
At such a young age,
I was told by doctors
31
00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:39,246
that I had diminished
ovarian reserve.
32
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:41,556
I asked for a referral
and was connected
33
00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:43,566
with a reproductive
endocrinologist.
34
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:46,506
They discovered immediately
that I had a thyroid issue.
35
00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:48,436
That triggered something
to me immediately.
36
00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:49,237
I'm 29.
37
00:01:49,261 --> 00:01:51,569
I'm not able to get pregnant,
and I have thyroid issues.
38
00:01:51,593 --> 00:01:52,507
Why is this?
39
00:01:52,531 --> 00:01:54,036
The next layer of
testing that I did
40
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:55,626
with the reproductive
endocrinologist
41
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:59,106
revealed that I did
not have the ovarian
42
00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:02,316
reserve that a typical
29 or 30-year-old had.
43
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:03,696
And when I asked
them about that,
44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,856
I was told that it was
bad luck, that I had just
45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,086
drawn the short straw.
46
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:08,961
And that was the way
that it was going to be,
47
00:02:08,985 --> 00:02:11,166
and we could get over that
through IVF treatments.
48
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:14,256
But that was simply
the way that it was,
49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,386
and perhaps that was
a genetic component.
50
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:19,266
I went through many failed
cycles at the first practice
51
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:20,107
that I worked with.
52
00:02:20,131 --> 00:02:23,106
I will never forget the day
that I wrote that my doctor said
53
00:02:23,130 --> 00:02:24,156
that I was an anomaly.
54
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,376
I looked across from her at
the table one day, and I said,
55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,396
shouldn't I be pregnant by now?
56
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:28,656
And she said, absolutely.
57
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,786
The average person
is pregnant by now.
58
00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:32,946
That was crushing.
59
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:34,521
In addition to
that, I had started
60
00:02:34,545 --> 00:02:36,396
seeing an acupuncturist,
because I was really
61
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:38,188
looking for any avenue
of medicine that was
62
00:02:38,212 --> 00:02:39,479
going to help me be successful.
63
00:02:39,503 --> 00:02:41,106
That's how badly I
wanted this family.
64
00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:43,366
And she noticed that
after my treatments,
65
00:02:43,390 --> 00:02:45,928
I would get hives sometimes
where the needles were.
66
00:02:45,952 --> 00:02:47,386
And when I saw her
again, she said,
67
00:02:47,410 --> 00:02:48,876
I want you to try
going gluten free,
68
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,126
because there is a link
between skin rashes and hives,
69
00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:52,896
and things like that
in a gluten allergy.
70
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:57,546
Going gluten free, first of
all, it eliminated my hives.
71
00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:01,446
But second of all, my thyroid
function came back normal.
72
00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:04,476
That was when I was
like, I need to pursue
73
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:08,376
this avenue of my health a
little bit more seriously.
74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,281
And that's when I
connected with Mark.
75
00:03:10,305 --> 00:03:13,266
The first time I met Mark,
I joined him in his office,
76
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:16,446
and I filled out a questionnaire
about the food that I eat.
77
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:19,636
I told him why I was
there, and I was skeptical.
78
00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:21,516
So I didn't give Mark
a lot of information.
79
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:23,616
I wanted him to
prove to me that he
80
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,206
knew what he was talking about.
81
00:03:25,230 --> 00:03:28,356
To this day, I think the
most remarkable experience that
82
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:30,846
I've ever had regarding
epiphanies is the epiphany
83
00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:33,306
of my compassion leading
me to the idea of nonverbal
84
00:03:33,330 --> 00:03:34,297
communication.
85
00:03:34,321 --> 00:03:37,739
Opening up an energy field
between my patients and myself,
86
00:03:37,763 --> 00:03:39,156
that taught me
everything I needed
87
00:03:39,180 --> 00:03:40,536
to know about them and more.
88
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,066
So he muscle tested me.
89
00:03:42,090 --> 00:03:45,456
He asked me a series
of random questions.
90
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,566
Are you cold?
91
00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:50,256
Which I knew was linked to my
thyroid, but I didn't tell him
92
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,846
I had a thyroid issue.
93
00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:55,356
He asked me if I
sometimes got viral sores.
94
00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:58,386
And then he showed me
a diagram of my body
95
00:03:58,410 --> 00:04:01,019
and said that my fertility
issue was with my ovaries.
96
00:04:01,043 --> 00:04:02,436
I hadn't said
anything about that.
97
00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:04,896
I told Mark I wanted to
have a baby and I couldn't.
98
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,506
But I didn't tell him that
the doctors had identified
99
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:09,756
that I had low ovarian reserve.
100
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:12,936
So from muscle testing
me and asking me
101
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,946
three questions, that
indicated to me he
102
00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:17,097
knew exactly what
was going on, my jaw
103
00:04:17,121 --> 00:04:18,305
was practically on the floor.
104
00:04:18,329 --> 00:04:20,180
There's so much going
on in a human being,
105
00:04:20,204 --> 00:04:22,696
so much going on that's
nonverbal, and I'd feel that.
106
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,497
I'd sense that.
107
00:04:23,521 --> 00:04:26,886
I'd perceive that at deeper
sensory levels in my own being.
108
00:04:26,910 --> 00:04:30,036
I was learning things that I
didn't know I had access to.
109
00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:33,246
But I opened up my
heart, instinctually,
110
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:36,006
and got back their answers
instinctually as well.
111
00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:39,756
He told me that I had a
retrovirus that was wreaking
112
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:41,416
havoc on my immune system.
113
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,496
He told me in that very
moment what foods I could eat
114
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,686
and what foods I had to avoid.
115
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:49,266
And then he put me on
a bunch of supplements.
116
00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:52,266
He told me, don't do any
treatments in the next three
117
00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:53,077
months.
118
00:04:53,101 --> 00:04:55,176
But give me six months,
and I guarantee you
119
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,836
will be pregnant in six months.
120
00:04:56,860 --> 00:05:00,246
So I went home and that day
cleaned out the cupboards,
121
00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,676
bought all the supplements,
did my research.
122
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:04,896
I was nervous about taking
all those supplements.
123
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,026
But in the research
that I had done,
124
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:09,156
I learned that
Mark was putting me
125
00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:13,026
on things that my body needed,
and should have been getting,
126
00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:15,396
and just wasn't because
of modern day food
127
00:05:15,420 --> 00:05:17,116
and what we do to
the food that we eat.
128
00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:19,866
So I checked back in with
Mark at the three month mark.
129
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:23,971
And he said, I think if you
start a treatment now and go
130
00:05:23,995 --> 00:05:24,847
about your treatment.
131
00:05:24,871 --> 00:05:27,276
After three months on that diet,
I had a completely different
132
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:28,077
response.
133
00:05:28,101 --> 00:05:31,326
So prior to the diet and
the supplements with Mark,
134
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:34,116
I was producing
seven eggs that were
135
00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:36,936
resulting in two embryos that
could be transferred back
136
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:37,897
into me.
137
00:05:37,921 --> 00:05:41,256
Three months later,
I produced 17 eggs
138
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:45,126
that resulted in 10 viable
embryos to work with in order
139
00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:46,396
to achieve a pregnancy.
140
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:47,197
I'll never forget.
141
00:05:47,221 --> 00:05:48,816
My doctor walked
in the room too,
142
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:50,211
after those results
had come out.
143
00:05:50,235 --> 00:05:52,336
And he just looked at me,
and he said, who are you?
144
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,846
I can't believe
what has happened.
145
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:58,596
It did happen, and it happened
right shy of the six month mark
146
00:05:58,620 --> 00:05:59,886
that Mark had promised.
147
00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:01,086
One of the things
that Mark would do,
148
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:02,878
when my husband and I
were meeting with him
149
00:06:02,902 --> 00:06:04,896
is, he would actually
call us mom and dad.
150
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,583
When you would leave
a meeting with him,
151
00:06:06,607 --> 00:06:08,166
you would say to
yourself, he believes
152
00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:09,396
this is going to happen to me.
153
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:10,626
And he keeps telling
me that I need
154
00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:12,709
to believe this is going
to happen for me as well.
155
00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:14,566
And that was
transformational for us.
156
00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:16,816
So there was the food, and
there were the supplements.
157
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,233
But then there was
also this piece
158
00:06:18,257 --> 00:06:21,526
about just remaining
positive and believing
159
00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:22,656
that this would happen.
160
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,406
Probably the best visit
I've had with Mark
161
00:06:24,430 --> 00:06:27,271
was when I was able to bring
my daughter in and meet Mark.
162
00:06:27,295 --> 00:06:29,356
And he looked over at her,
and she looked at him.
163
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:32,446
And she just let this
ginormous smile out for Mark,
164
00:06:32,470 --> 00:06:35,266
and it was just one of those
really special moments for me.
165
00:06:35,290 --> 00:06:36,796
And I think for Mark too.
166
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:39,436
He said to me, the baby that
people said wouldn't exist
167
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:40,780
smiled back at me today.
168
00:06:45,317 --> 00:06:46,876
Early on, when I
first started off,
169
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,996
I was surprised to hear that so
many patients were having such
170
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:52,216
a hard time with
Western medicine.
171
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,436
I thought to myself, that
doesn't sound like what
172
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:56,506
I was raised to understand.
173
00:06:56,530 --> 00:07:01,546
And I expected this highly
technological advanced system
174
00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:04,396
of medicine to be
consistently errorless,
175
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:07,826
and to be efficient, and to
be capable, at least capable.
176
00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:09,826
But for me, to find out
that so many people were
177
00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:13,666
being mismanaged
and getting sicker
178
00:07:13,690 --> 00:07:15,129
was an astounding
reality for me.
179
00:07:15,153 --> 00:07:16,047
I couldn't believe it.
180
00:07:16,071 --> 00:07:19,253
I thought to myself, well,
they have the technology.
181
00:07:19,277 --> 00:07:20,087
They have the money.
182
00:07:20,111 --> 00:07:21,961
They have the
slickness, if you will.
183
00:07:21,985 --> 00:07:23,336
I don't have any
of those things,
184
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,956
but what I can make up for is
compassion, concern, interest.
185
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:29,273
When I work with
somebody, I'm just
186
00:07:29,297 --> 00:07:31,606
positively determined to make
sure it's going to happen.
187
00:07:31,630 --> 00:07:34,206
So I had patients that are
stacking me up with issues
188
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:35,826
that I was unfamiliar with.
189
00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:37,936
They were miles over my head.
190
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,756
But it didn't stop me.
191
00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:41,346
One of the most
incredible things
192
00:07:41,370 --> 00:07:44,016
that I stumbled on with
whole systems medicine
193
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,313
was this interconnectedness.
194
00:07:45,337 --> 00:07:46,896
There all these
different energy zones
195
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,604
in the body, different
acupuncture zones,
196
00:07:48,628 --> 00:07:49,726
meridians, if you will.
197
00:07:49,750 --> 00:07:51,666
And there are different
ways to address
198
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:54,606
the imbalances of
organ systems because
199
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:56,406
of the interconnectedness
of energy.
200
00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:58,656
In the Western world, we
tend to think of those things
201
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,676
as all separate.
202
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:00,607
A kidney's a kidney.
203
00:08:00,631 --> 00:08:02,398
A liver's a liver, but
they're all actually
204
00:08:02,422 --> 00:08:04,086
part of one
electromagnetic family.
205
00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:06,876
Within the context of
Ayurvedic medicine,
206
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,276
food is one of the
major forms of medicine.
207
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,136
These are 4,000
year old systems.
208
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,279
So they had 4,000 years
to work out the knots.
209
00:08:13,303 --> 00:08:14,946
How can you not embrace
something that's
210
00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:16,146
been that well-experienced?
211
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:17,326
Everything is energetic.
212
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:18,126
Everything.
213
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:18,577
We're energetic.
214
00:08:18,601 --> 00:08:19,751
All our foods are energetic.
215
00:08:19,775 --> 00:08:21,876
The reactions we have with
our foods are energetic.
216
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:23,706
There's a system of
energy here that says,
217
00:08:23,730 --> 00:08:24,966
either the good things
are going to happen,
218
00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:26,883
or bad things are going
to happen with energy.
219
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:30,366
So by eating a certain food,
it supports your energy system.
220
00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:32,870
You're feeding your
wellness, your ease.
221
00:08:32,894 --> 00:08:34,356
You're feeding your healthiness.
222
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:35,856
With negative foods,
you're actually
223
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,385
feeding your disease,
your sickness.
224
00:08:37,409 --> 00:08:38,885
So I think it's
important to realize
225
00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:41,566
that virtually everything
we think, everything we eat,
226
00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:44,294
everything we drink, every sip,
every bite, every encounter,
227
00:08:44,318 --> 00:08:46,086
virtually everything
we do is energetically
228
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:49,936
tied to this reality of
universal chi, life force.
229
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,506
This idea that life force
can be managed in order
230
00:08:52,530 --> 00:08:54,126
to make life better,
that's really
231
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:56,143
the basis, the
foundation, of my work.
232
00:08:59,850 --> 00:09:01,296
My name's Adilio.
233
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,026
About eight years ago, I was
diagnosed with Parkinson's.
234
00:09:04,050 --> 00:09:05,136
My brother had it.
235
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,937
Yeah.
236
00:09:05,961 --> 00:09:07,986
We saw his brother with
the symptoms that he had,
237
00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:10,956
and I noticed the
similarities in my husband.
238
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:12,756
Our neighbor has Parkinson's.
239
00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:16,536
My former boss had Parkinson's,
all roughly a few years
240
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,586
maybe before you.
241
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:20,106
But their symptoms were
a lot worse than yours.
242
00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:21,936
And then you started
catching up to what
243
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,076
they were going through.
244
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,266
Where I used to work, there
used to be a lot of walking.
245
00:09:26,290 --> 00:09:29,406
I used to stumble over
my feet, sometimes fall.
246
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:32,376
So he put me on Sinemet pills.
247
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,416
They helped a little
bit but not much.
248
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,636
We'd all be walking
along, a group of us,
249
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,526
and I'd turn around
like, where's my husband?
250
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:40,626
And he'd be lagging behind.
251
00:09:40,650 --> 00:09:42,966
I could see the effort in
him trying to reach us,
252
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:44,046
and he couldn't.
253
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:46,866
And that's when I'm like,
well, this is really not good.
254
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:49,686
And Doris, our close
friend, knew Mark
255
00:09:49,710 --> 00:09:51,666
from previous situations.
256
00:09:51,690 --> 00:09:53,026
And she suggested we see him.
257
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,949
At first we were
like, we're still
258
00:09:54,973 --> 00:09:56,116
sticking with our physician.
259
00:09:56,140 --> 00:09:57,126
He's got to do something right.
260
00:09:57,150 --> 00:09:59,086
And it started just
getting worse and worse.
261
00:09:59,110 --> 00:10:01,086
I mean, the swallowing
was the scariest part.
262
00:10:01,110 --> 00:10:01,477
Yeah, swallowing,
I couldn't swallow.
263
00:10:01,501 --> 00:10:03,816
When he would be eating, he
would always choke on his food.
264
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,616
And they kept saying, well,
we'll try something different.
265
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,966
We'll try something different.
266
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:08,646
And it just wasn't
working for you.
267
00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:09,447
No, it wasn't.
268
00:10:09,471 --> 00:10:11,676
That too made me make
the decision to go see Mark.
269
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:12,876
I had my doubts, but...
270
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:13,677
Yeah.
271
00:10:13,701 --> 00:10:15,786
I says, it's getting worse.
272
00:10:15,810 --> 00:10:17,436
What can I lose?
273
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:20,056
Where your brother ended up,
you didn't want that to happen
274
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,856
to you.
275
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,277
No.
276
00:10:21,301 --> 00:10:22,296
I didn't.
277
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,566
He did kinesiology on him and
told us exactly what he could
278
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:26,557
and could not eat.
279
00:10:26,581 --> 00:10:30,366
Got those little tube things
and tested me with stuff what I
280
00:10:30,390 --> 00:10:31,636
can eat on my arm.
281
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:33,426
I was like, who is this guy?
282
00:10:33,450 --> 00:10:35,286
I was like, this
ain't gonna work.
283
00:10:35,310 --> 00:10:37,616
No way.
284
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,676
It worked.
285
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:42,376
He told him, 21 days, you
are going to see a difference.
286
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,446
We're both like, OK.
287
00:10:43,470 --> 00:10:45,216
So he said, when
we left that day,
288
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,416
I am determined to go
and do what he said.
289
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,246
I'm like, OK.
290
00:10:48,270 --> 00:10:48,757
We'll see.
291
00:10:48,781 --> 00:10:49,776
When we got
out of the office,
292
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,526
we went to get the
supplements right away.
293
00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,826
And I went out, bought
the organics and all that he
294
00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:54,627
needed.
295
00:10:54,651 --> 00:10:57,546
He lost 30 pounds in those
21 days, and I'm like,
296
00:10:57,570 --> 00:10:59,106
you are a different person.
297
00:10:59,130 --> 00:11:02,466
His movements, everything,
just it was like,
298
00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:03,816
this is unbelievable.
299
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,866
So like they say,
you are what you eat.
300
00:11:05,890 --> 00:11:06,666
It's true.
301
00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:07,466
Yeah.
302
00:11:07,490 --> 00:11:08,412
It's like a miracle.
303
00:11:08,436 --> 00:11:10,536
I think you have to be
careful about the concept
304
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,356
of turning diseases into
a bunch of labels purely
305
00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:16,956
for the identification of a
protocol that has a matching
306
00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:18,456
pharmaceutical drug or two.
307
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,296
On the case of Adilio,
viral inflammation
308
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,866
was causing the
symptoms that were
309
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,206
mimicking symptoms
of Parkinson's
310
00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:26,646
neurodegeneratively.
311
00:11:26,670 --> 00:11:29,286
Symptoms of the language
of the body, the symptoms
312
00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:30,906
lead you to the source.
313
00:11:30,930 --> 00:11:33,276
Listening to the symptoms
and not shutting them off,
314
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:35,766
in my opinion, is
a much better idea.
315
00:11:35,790 --> 00:11:39,246
When I go to my neurologists,
they can't believe how well
316
00:11:39,270 --> 00:11:40,177
I'm getting.
317
00:11:40,201 --> 00:11:42,626
I walk two to three
miles two times a week.
318
00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:43,836
And it feels great.
319
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:46,376
Before, I couldn't do it,
because I used to stumble over
320
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,646
my feet, sometimes fall.
321
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:49,522
Or even before, to
tie my shoes, I'd
322
00:11:49,546 --> 00:11:52,646
have a hard time
making a bow, tying it,
323
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:54,356
every day for the longest time.
324
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:57,586
And now, no problem.
325
00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:00,226
We're dealing with human
beings that are like universes
326
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:03,466
unto themselves, complex, deep.
327
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:04,846
It's important
that we understand
328
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:07,606
that to just give somebody a
label is to disempower them.
329
00:12:07,630 --> 00:12:10,096
I want to empower them
by giving them answers.
330
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,556
So that they can take care of
their own situation at home.
331
00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:15,556
The way he's going now
with how he's improved,
332
00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:18,076
if he didn't do that, I don't
know how much longer he would
333
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,007
be here.
334
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:21,363
With what he's doing
now, he's going
335
00:12:21,387 --> 00:12:22,470
to be around a lot longer.
336
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:30,766
What exists
before the physician?
337
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:33,196
What exists is a
body, primarily,
338
00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:35,896
a body with some symptoms
that need to be understood.
339
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,526
And this is such a small
partial understanding
340
00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:42,766
of what this human being
is before the physician.
341
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:46,606
Helping medicine remember
and come back to its roots
342
00:12:46,630 --> 00:12:51,556
is to help heal current
biomedical sciences
343
00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:53,116
and the practice of medicine.
344
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:55,246
And these roots are
the traditional home
345
00:12:55,270 --> 00:12:56,087
medical systems.
346
00:12:56,111 --> 00:12:59,176
They've been at it a lot longer,
for millennia, typically.
347
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,276
And they had enough
time to figure out
348
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,276
what a human being really
is beyond the physical body.
349
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:07,246
Ancient civilizations have
always talked about the power
350
00:13:07,270 --> 00:13:10,006
of thought, for example, in
affecting our consciousness
351
00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:11,536
and affecting our health.
352
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,146
And through tools in
psychoneuroimmunology
353
00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:18,256
and neuroscience, we now know
that our belief systems greatly
354
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,316
affect our health.
355
00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:22,786
And that's actually influencing
our endocrine system
356
00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:24,826
and our central nervous system.
357
00:13:24,850 --> 00:13:28,006
It's affecting the patterning
of energy and information
358
00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:29,146
in our bodies.
359
00:13:29,170 --> 00:13:32,386
And that's why the way that we
think, the way that we feel,
360
00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:35,056
has such a powerful role
in impacting our health.
361
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,506
Orthodox medicine looks
to quiet the symptoms.
362
00:13:38,530 --> 00:13:41,206
It's directed to
the point of impact
363
00:13:41,230 --> 00:13:44,006
of the disease, the discomfort,
the pain, the suffering.
364
00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:46,213
If somebody'd go to a
traditional Western doctor
365
00:13:46,237 --> 00:13:47,671
for a migraine
headache, the doctor
366
00:13:47,695 --> 00:13:49,516
would give them the
medication that would actually
367
00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:50,656
deaden the nerve endings.
368
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:52,989
So that you couldn't feel the
inflammation in your head.
369
00:13:53,013 --> 00:13:56,446
It's still there, but
you can't feel it.
370
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:59,416
My way of dealing with that,
holistically, would be to say,
371
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,826
let's find out if it's the liver
that's causing the problem.
372
00:14:03,850 --> 00:14:07,396
It could be a high concentration
of indoles, and phenols,
373
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:09,106
and different
chemistries in the liver
374
00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:10,696
that's causing
liver inflammation.
375
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,606
It's sending this message
to the body, to the head,
376
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:15,676
in the form of pain
called a headache.
377
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,166
And it could be a food
allergy or a food sensitivity
378
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,466
to wheat, to dairy, to any one
of a number of possibilities.
379
00:14:21,490 --> 00:14:24,246
To me, the most
important facet is
380
00:14:24,270 --> 00:14:27,866
to understand the dynamics,
the physics, if you will,
381
00:14:27,890 --> 00:14:30,046
of the disease to get
to the root of what's
382
00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:32,446
causing the pain, the
suffering, and to be
383
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:37,416
able to work systemically within
the context of imbalances that
384
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,376
are existing in those systems.
385
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,016
I don't want to just
shut the pain off.
386
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,606
You're not correcting
the imbalance.
387
00:14:42,630 --> 00:14:44,148
I mean, we could
ask the question,
388
00:14:44,172 --> 00:14:46,986
does the current medical system
as it's commonly practiced
389
00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:49,326
in the US foster...
390
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:51,666
Does it mirror the whole
person in medicine?
391
00:14:51,690 --> 00:14:54,096
Where a physician
really has enough time
392
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,586
to query the person
how they're doing,
393
00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:58,974
their home life,
their emotional life,
394
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:01,266
in addition to their physical
life and symptoms, and we
395
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:02,540
just don't see enough of that.
396
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,716
My name is Michael, and
I experienced sudden hearing
397
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:10,886
loss.
398
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:12,686
At first, I wasn't sure.
399
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:15,776
I really didn't know
about the severity of it.
400
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,146
I didn't know if it was water
in the year from swimming
401
00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:18,947
at the beach.
402
00:15:18,971 --> 00:15:23,006
Or I didn't know what it was
and was subsequently diagnosed
403
00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:26,336
with autoimmune
sensorineural hearing loss.
404
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,938
That was what I was told.
405
00:15:27,962 --> 00:15:29,396
Your immune system
is out of whack.
406
00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:31,176
Your immune system is
attacking your body,
407
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,326
so we need to calm down
your immune system.
408
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:37,196
Treatment was
prescribed steroids.
409
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:40,406
And after a period of
time, it seemed to work.
410
00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:42,896
And then about, I'd say,
four or five years later,
411
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,491
the hearing loss
came back again.
412
00:15:44,515 --> 00:15:47,786
I again was prescribed
steroids, but this time it
413
00:15:47,810 --> 00:15:49,976
wasn't working quite as
well as the first time.
414
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,443
I called my doctor and said,
hey, what's going on here?
415
00:15:53,467 --> 00:15:54,776
When's this supposed to kick in?
416
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,151
How long is this
supposed to take
417
00:15:56,175 --> 00:15:57,356
till I get my hearing back?
418
00:15:57,380 --> 00:16:01,146
And the response I got was,
well, it's not coming back.
419
00:16:01,170 --> 00:16:02,246
It might not come back.
420
00:16:02,270 --> 00:16:05,456
It might actually get worse,
and the goal of this treatment
421
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,826
is to help stabilize
where you are
422
00:16:07,850 --> 00:16:10,626
and try to keep it from getting
worse as much as possible.
423
00:16:10,650 --> 00:16:11,996
It's not going to cure you.
424
00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:14,096
We actually don't
know, but we have
425
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,526
a limited number of drugs,
a limited number of options
426
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:17,716
to try.
427
00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:24,066
The only way we know if any of
this works is if you tell us.
428
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:26,306
And I'm thinking to
myself, wait a minute.
429
00:16:26,330 --> 00:16:27,476
Aren't you driving the bus?
430
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,716
The message was to
learn to live with it
431
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:33,746
and manage it, hearing aids.
432
00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:36,056
They talked to me about
doing a cochlear implant.
433
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,556
And I actually got hearing aids.
434
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:42,656
Even with the hearing aids,
hearing was still not great.
435
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,026
I was still having
difficulty in conversations
436
00:16:45,050 --> 00:16:45,957
talking to people.
437
00:16:45,981 --> 00:16:48,896
If I'm having a meeting, talking
with someone in a business
438
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,621
setting, sitting
across the table,
439
00:16:50,645 --> 00:16:51,746
I couldn't understand them.
440
00:16:51,770 --> 00:16:52,622
I couldn't hear them.
441
00:16:52,646 --> 00:16:55,476
It was not manageable.
442
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:56,696
And so I said to the doctor...
443
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,873
I call him up, said,
look, this isn't working,
444
00:16:58,897 --> 00:17:00,206
and we got to do something else.
445
00:17:00,230 --> 00:17:01,286
I tried managing it.
446
00:17:01,310 --> 00:17:03,596
And he said, sorry,
there is nothing else.
447
00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:07,676
And I just realized that
it's time to change course.
448
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,805
You're not driving
the bus anymore.
449
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:11,006
Give me the keys.
450
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:14,726
And that's when my first
encounter happened with Mark.
451
00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:16,916
As chance happened, Mark
moved into my building.
452
00:17:16,940 --> 00:17:18,956
And he was just two
offices down from me.
453
00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:21,986
I had heard about
him from a number
454
00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:24,536
of sources, people telling
me their experience,
455
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,886
personal experience.
456
00:17:25,910 --> 00:17:28,286
In that first meeting,
we spent about an hour,
457
00:17:28,310 --> 00:17:30,806
did his readings, energy
readings, muscle testing.
458
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:32,946
He asked me questions,
interviewed me.
459
00:17:32,970 --> 00:17:34,946
Meanwhile, I'm sitting
there with hearing aids
460
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:37,346
and listening as
best that I can.
461
00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:39,266
And then he says to me
at the end of the hour,
462
00:17:39,290 --> 00:17:40,316
here's the problem.
463
00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:44,456
Your adrenal glands and your
spleen, I think, it was.
464
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,267
That's the problem.
465
00:17:45,291 --> 00:17:46,951
That's the root of your problem.
466
00:17:46,975 --> 00:17:48,326
Here's how we're
going to fix it,
467
00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:51,236
and he prescribed a diet
and certain supplements,
468
00:17:51,260 --> 00:17:52,528
homeopathic approaches.
469
00:17:52,552 --> 00:17:53,487
And he said, all right.
470
00:17:53,511 --> 00:17:56,636
Well, listen, you
can't eat X, Y, and Z.
471
00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:59,666
And I guess it's easier to
think of what I could eat,
472
00:17:59,690 --> 00:18:01,476
because a lot of things
were crossed off.
473
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,566
And he says, if
you do this, here's
474
00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:06,846
how long it's going to take.
475
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:08,396
Here's the result
you can expect.
476
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:09,866
And when you come
back here, you're
477
00:18:09,890 --> 00:18:12,456
not going to be around
those hearing aids.
478
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,476
And I said, wow, OK.
479
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:18,996
And I walked out of that
office thinking to myself,
480
00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:21,866
I'm driving the bus.
481
00:18:21,890 --> 00:18:24,156
There's 600 different
lymphatic filters in the main
482
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:24,957
body.
483
00:18:24,981 --> 00:18:29,066
They filter germs, bacteria,
viruses, allergens, endotoxins,
484
00:18:29,090 --> 00:18:31,509
constantly filtering these
poisons out of the body.
485
00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:32,426
You want them to flow.
486
00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:33,344
You want them to move.
487
00:18:33,368 --> 00:18:36,029
Back to the idea of
flow, if they back up,
488
00:18:36,053 --> 00:18:38,321
things get problematic in
the head, and the eyes, ears,
489
00:18:38,345 --> 00:18:39,489
nose, and throat, et cetera.
490
00:18:39,513 --> 00:18:41,156
That's exactly what
happened to Michael.
491
00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:43,781
His hearing is backed up because
of the fact that his lymphatic
492
00:18:43,805 --> 00:18:46,616
was swollen with a lot of debris
that wasn't being filtered,
493
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,876
because his spleen was weak.
494
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,606
Through an exposure
to environmental mold,
495
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,736
the mold had entered my
body and become fungal.
496
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,656
So what he was doing
was cleaning that up.
497
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,336
It was an adjustment
to the diet,
498
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:58,316
but it was very impactful.
499
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:00,056
Hearing started
improving I would
500
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,146
say within a couple
of weeks probably.
501
00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:06,036
Now, then after three
months, it was...
502
00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:08,546
I had actually got rid
of the hearing aids.
503
00:19:08,570 --> 00:19:10,136
I didn't need them.
504
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,566
As a result of following
Mark's protocol,
505
00:19:12,590 --> 00:19:16,016
I now have 90% to 100%
of my hearing back.
506
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,763
It is a maintenance as well.
507
00:19:17,787 --> 00:19:19,346
It's not the quick
pill that we're all
508
00:19:19,370 --> 00:19:21,636
programmed to say, oh,
you're one and done.
509
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:22,437
But it's easier.
510
00:19:22,461 --> 00:19:24,406
It's a lot easier
than you think.
511
00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:27,226
It's actually very empowering.
512
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:29,226
It's a simple question.
513
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,106
Do you want to slave
to your palate,
514
00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:33,456
or do you want to be a
master of your health?
515
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,480
And I think most people
would choose the latter.
516
00:19:41,710 --> 00:19:44,596
Basically, science was
predicated on the science
517
00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:47,446
of Isaac Newton's physics
which recognized the world
518
00:19:47,470 --> 00:19:50,966
or universe had two parts,
a physical and an energetic
519
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:51,767
realm.
520
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:53,326
And that whatever
was physical would
521
00:19:53,350 --> 00:19:56,966
be affected by physical things,
and energy not being physical
522
00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:58,226
were not affected.
523
00:19:58,250 --> 00:20:01,846
This led to the first separation
in medicine of the separation
524
00:20:01,870 --> 00:20:03,256
of mind from body.
525
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,246
Biology, in the West, in
fact, since the 17th century,
526
00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:10,966
has been modeled on the
machine theory of life.
527
00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:12,076
The heart's a pump.
528
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:13,876
The brain's like a computer.
529
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:15,436
The eyes are like a camera.
530
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:18,526
They're mechanisms and machines,
but the mind's got nothing
531
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:19,726
to do with any of this.
532
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:23,536
In fact, according to the
mechanistic theory of life,
533
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,736
the mind doesn't
do anything at all.
534
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,276
It's a kind of
illusion that hovers
535
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,436
around the physical
activity of the brain.
536
00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:32,596
But it doesn't really
influence the brain,
537
00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:35,206
because that's impossible
in a mechanistic world view.
538
00:20:35,230 --> 00:20:37,186
So when you think
of mind and matter,
539
00:20:37,210 --> 00:20:41,086
it's two different things,
already you've broken simple
540
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:43,816
laws of physics,
laws of conservation,
541
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,176
of energy and matter,
laws of thermodynamics.
542
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,656
Lifting your hand has to be
preceded by an intention.
543
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,116
The hand can only lift if
the hand, and the intention,
544
00:20:56,140 --> 00:21:00,196
and the source of the
intention are the same entity.
545
00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:03,176
If there are two different
entities, the hand won't lift.
546
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,646
We have been steeped in an
era of what we call materialism
547
00:21:06,670 --> 00:21:07,858
in medicine and science.
548
00:21:07,882 --> 00:21:08,817
So what does that mean?
549
00:21:08,841 --> 00:21:11,356
It basically means that
we have been fed a belief
550
00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:14,806
system that we are separate,
and that we are only physical,
551
00:21:14,830 --> 00:21:17,566
and that consciousness arises
from physical processes
552
00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:18,886
such as brain function.
553
00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:22,036
Western medicine is missing
about half the equation
554
00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:24,356
of reality, which is energy.
555
00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:25,756
It's dealing in
a material level.
556
00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:30,166
That fundamental split is
an illusion of the reality
557
00:21:30,190 --> 00:21:31,466
of the whole person.
558
00:21:31,490 --> 00:21:33,466
So in that sense,
Western medicine
559
00:21:33,490 --> 00:21:35,476
as it's currently
practiced will never really
560
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,470
be able to address the totality
of healing of a human being.
561
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,346
What does the
word physical mean?
562
00:21:44,370 --> 00:21:46,316
Well, it comes to
the word physis
563
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:48,516
which is a Greek word
which means nature.
564
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,066
In fact, at the time of Newton
they called scientists, what
565
00:21:51,090 --> 00:21:52,691
they call today
scientists, they called
566
00:21:52,715 --> 00:21:53,916
them natural philosophers.
567
00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:55,776
So physics is
really about nature.
568
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,076
Today though, it has degenerated
into something that says,
569
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:00,276
well, it's material.
570
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:02,076
It's something that's concrete.
571
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,566
That's something that
I can touch, et cetera.
572
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:07,386
And we know from physics that
actually the touch that we have
573
00:22:07,410 --> 00:22:10,626
or filling the boundary
is an illusion,
574
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:14,581
in the sense that actually, it's
just electromagnetic forces.
575
00:22:14,605 --> 00:22:16,956
Atoms, which were supposed
to be the smallest particle
576
00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:19,566
in the universe when
physics was being created,
577
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:21,343
turns out that
they looked inside.
578
00:22:21,367 --> 00:22:23,176
And they found there
were smaller particles.
579
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,677
Oh my God.
580
00:22:23,701 --> 00:22:25,468
There are electrons,
protons, and neutrons.
581
00:22:25,492 --> 00:22:28,026
So there are smaller
physical things.
582
00:22:28,050 --> 00:22:30,726
But then the revolution
came in and say,
583
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:32,886
what are those small
things made out of?
584
00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:35,316
What's an electron or
proton made out of?
585
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:38,196
And then they come down in
some kind of metaphysical world
586
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:39,187
like quarks.
587
00:22:39,211 --> 00:22:40,896
And I go, what does
all this represent?
588
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,016
It turns out there is
no physical structure
589
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,196
inside the so-called
particles that create an atom.
590
00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:50,046
The atom is an
illusion of matter.
591
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:51,156
It's not real.
592
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,686
It's an energy vortex.
593
00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:54,846
It's all like a nano tornado.
594
00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:57,576
Einstein taught us
E equals mc squared,
595
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,606
Nobel Prize for teaching us
about the theory of relativity.
596
00:23:00,630 --> 00:23:03,396
Energy and matter are
interconvertible and
597
00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:04,289
transferable.
598
00:23:04,313 --> 00:23:06,246
Do we understand E is
equaled to mc squared.
599
00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:09,196
I said, well, on one
side you have E, energy.
600
00:23:09,220 --> 00:23:11,826
On the other side,
you have M, matter.
601
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,826
So Einstein said,
matter and energy
602
00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:16,394
are equivalent to each other.
603
00:23:16,418 --> 00:23:18,186
Are you going to call
it matter, or are you
604
00:23:18,210 --> 00:23:19,936
going to call it energy?
605
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,376
So maybe a better term
is mass-energy, one word
606
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,446
rather than mass and energy.
607
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:28,806
In 1931, Werner Heisenberg
won the Nobel Prize
608
00:23:28,830 --> 00:23:36,516
for teaching us that energy
makes up 99.999% of reality.
609
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:38,586
We have our five sensory
connection, our three
610
00:23:38,610 --> 00:23:40,086
dimensional tendencies.
611
00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:42,206
So we're only able
to see, and perceive,
612
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:44,736
and connect with, and
communicate about,
613
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,731
and understand what we
see, and what we can touch,
614
00:23:47,755 --> 00:23:48,607
and what we can feel.
615
00:23:48,631 --> 00:23:50,096
We don't go beyond that.
616
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:52,176
So in modern
quantum field theory,
617
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,686
the only reality is
vibrations of energy.
618
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:58,476
Those vibrations of
energy are called quanta.
619
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:01,536
They're called particles,
condensed forms of energy.
620
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,736
Matter itself is made
up of fields and energy.
621
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,866
Energy is what makes things
move, act, have activity.
622
00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:11,226
And fields are what
give shape or form
623
00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:13,626
to the way the
energy is organized.
624
00:24:13,650 --> 00:24:15,396
And if we take
a step further,
625
00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:18,546
it starts to clarify a much
bigger picture that we are
626
00:24:18,570 --> 00:24:19,806
electromagnetic beings.
627
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:22,716
We're energy beings, that
everything is energy.
628
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:23,656
Diseases are energy.
629
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,457
Viruses are energy.
630
00:24:24,481 --> 00:24:26,086
Bacterias are energy.
631
00:24:26,110 --> 00:24:27,126
There is a process.
632
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:30,216
There is a dance that takes
place between our energy
633
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,376
and the energies around
us and within us.
634
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,546
When we lower our frequency,
our energy, our verve, our life
635
00:24:36,570 --> 00:24:40,116
force, we run the
risk of lowering
636
00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:45,216
our electromagnetic frequency
into a range that harmonizes
637
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,766
with viruses that are
capable of affecting
638
00:24:47,790 --> 00:24:49,896
our neurological beingness.
639
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,646
Albert Einstein's very
famous quote comes right here.
640
00:24:53,670 --> 00:24:58,416
"The field is the sole governing
agency of the particle."
641
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,906
Energy is the sole
governing agency of matter.
642
00:25:01,930 --> 00:25:04,776
Energy is the force
that shapes matter.
643
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,146
We've excluded energy
from all the sciences,
644
00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:08,376
because they were Newtonian.
645
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,776
It doesn't mean Newtonian
science is wrong.
646
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,076
It's just a small
subset of a bigger
647
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,176
science called quantum physics.
648
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,056
And quantum physics
is the energy universe
649
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:19,977
that we live in.
650
00:25:20,001 --> 00:25:21,726
One thing that a
number of healers say,
651
00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:23,346
regardless of their
healing tradition,
652
00:25:23,370 --> 00:25:26,526
is they talk about information
that is stored both within
653
00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:29,296
the body and
outside of the body.
654
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,626
The biofield is a set
of interpenetrating
655
00:25:31,650 --> 00:25:34,566
and interacting fields
of energy and information
656
00:25:34,590 --> 00:25:35,806
that guide our health.
657
00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:38,886
So you have kinesiologists
and energy healers
658
00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:41,526
talking about how they
can get information
659
00:25:41,550 --> 00:25:43,836
about a person's
history, their memory,
660
00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:46,266
even their emotional state
from informational fields
661
00:25:46,290 --> 00:25:47,137
around the body.
662
00:25:47,161 --> 00:25:48,726
What's the
definition of field?
663
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:50,946
In physics, a simple definition?
664
00:25:50,970 --> 00:25:55,686
Invisible moving forces that
influence the physical world.
665
00:25:55,710 --> 00:26:01,116
And I go, well, this is amazing,
because ancient word spirit is
666
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:04,956
invisible moving forces that
influence the physical world.
667
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,926
Quantum physics is
giving us the insight
668
00:26:07,950 --> 00:26:09,486
that spiritualists
have always talked
669
00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:11,676
about without a
scientific foundation.
670
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:14,010
Now, there's a
science of energy.
671
00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:20,676
My name is Elizabeth.
672
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:25,476
I had breast cancer in 1996.
673
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,776
I went off on vacation,
found something hard,
674
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,176
and basically, was
filled with dread
675
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,006
immediately from my first
encounter with that lump.
676
00:26:36,030 --> 00:26:38,226
Within a couple of
weeks, got the diagnosis,
677
00:26:38,250 --> 00:26:39,876
yes, you have breast cancer.
678
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,036
There had to be
chemo for six months
679
00:26:42,060 --> 00:26:45,306
and radiation for three months.
680
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:46,986
Then I first had a lumpectomy.
681
00:26:47,010 --> 00:26:50,866
And after the lumpectomy, in
my heart, I felt that I was...
682
00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:51,667
It was gone.
683
00:26:51,691 --> 00:26:53,706
I felt like that's
where I should end,
684
00:26:53,730 --> 00:26:56,076
but I was very fearful.
685
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:59,076
I had two young girls,
kindergarten, second grade.
686
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,676
So I began the
chemo, dreading it,
687
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:05,226
feeling like it was just the
wrong, wrong thing to do.
688
00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:09,486
By the end of the six months,
I was physically a wreck.
689
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:11,526
It really took a toll on me.
690
00:27:11,550 --> 00:27:19,026
I felt so unwell in every
way I can possibly describe.
691
00:27:19,050 --> 00:27:20,826
And I had no energy.
692
00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:22,506
I was nauseous.
693
00:27:22,530 --> 00:27:24,186
I felt weak.
694
00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:27,906
Eyelashes, eyebrows
gone, hair, just
695
00:27:27,930 --> 00:27:30,516
to see the impact all
over my body physically
696
00:27:30,540 --> 00:27:34,506
but inside of me,
I just felt like I
697
00:27:34,530 --> 00:27:36,636
was a walking dead person.
698
00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:38,256
I had the life sucked out of me.
699
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,766
I tried to stay on track
in my life for my girls.
700
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:45,696
So I would go in and help in the
classroom as much as I could.
701
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,546
But I just remember sitting
in those little chairs
702
00:27:48,570 --> 00:27:50,226
in the kindergarten
room and trying
703
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:54,206
to do something with a child
and just like, oh my God.
704
00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:59,436
Just trying to get through
the process and be up for them
705
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:03,246
and be myself, but it was hard.
706
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:04,087
It was hard.
707
00:28:04,111 --> 00:28:06,936
When the six months were up,
my daughter in kindergarten
708
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,316
had a friend over
for a playdate.
709
00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:11,316
It was the very first
time they played together.
710
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,217
I didn't know her.
711
00:28:12,241 --> 00:28:13,656
I didn't know the mom.
712
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,396
But when her mom
came to pick her up,
713
00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:17,136
and she pulled out
an appointment card
714
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,246
and handed it to me.
715
00:28:18,270 --> 00:28:20,976
And she said, this
man can help you.
716
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,136
I have an appointment
with him next week,
717
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,426
but I cannot make it.
718
00:28:24,450 --> 00:28:26,076
And if you were
to try to see him,
719
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,636
it would be months
down the road.
720
00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:29,466
He has a long waiting list.
721
00:28:29,490 --> 00:28:30,436
So here.
722
00:28:30,460 --> 00:28:31,237
Take this.
723
00:28:31,261 --> 00:28:33,486
Go see this man next week.
724
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:37,806
And I had no idea who it was,
why I was going, but I went.
725
00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:40,156
I just felt it was
a strong message.
726
00:28:40,180 --> 00:28:42,066
I needed to pursue this.
727
00:28:42,090 --> 00:28:46,116
So when I went to that
appointment, my very first time
728
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:50,076
meeting Mark, I can't even
describe how different
729
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:53,616
that appointment was from any
doctor's appointment I'd ever
730
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,936
experienced before.
731
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,336
It was just a whole
different world
732
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:04,056
of talking about health,
your body, disease, energy,
733
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,336
your spirit.
734
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,846
He just wove everything
together versus just talking
735
00:29:09,870 --> 00:29:13,386
about your body and what drugs
we're going to put you on next.
736
00:29:13,410 --> 00:29:16,116
There is a more meaningful
experience that's taking place
737
00:29:16,140 --> 00:29:19,306
just based on the talk, just
based on the conversation.
738
00:29:19,330 --> 00:29:21,096
So the minute you
come in, you're
739
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,676
feeling that you're
being addressed
740
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,946
at a deeper level in
ways that you don't even
741
00:29:26,970 --> 00:29:28,236
address yourself, perhaps.
742
00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:31,566
He taught me things that I
just had no idea were a part
743
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:34,176
of wellness, like your pH.
744
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,386
It's often too acidic,
and that's the environment
745
00:29:37,410 --> 00:29:39,376
in which cancer cells thrive.
746
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,556
And disease in
general, cancer included,
747
00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:43,386
is an obligate anaerobe.
748
00:29:43,410 --> 00:29:45,816
That means it doesn't like
oxygen. Disease can't live when
749
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,036
there's oxygen. But
by the same token,
750
00:29:48,060 --> 00:29:51,576
sickness manifests quite readily
where there's not an alkalinity
751
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,916
and not a lot of oxygen. Sugar
produces a very strong acidosis
752
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:55,717
in the body.
753
00:29:55,741 --> 00:29:57,846
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.
754
00:29:57,870 --> 00:30:00,136
I've been a sugarholic
since I was a child.
755
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,126
So that just made so much sense.
756
00:30:03,150 --> 00:30:04,656
He sent off a hair analysis.
757
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,386
And that yielded a
lot of information
758
00:30:07,410 --> 00:30:09,846
about what was going on
in my body in that moment
759
00:30:09,870 --> 00:30:13,476
and what we needed to do to
bring ratios back into balance.
760
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,896
And in that appointment, I
just learned so very much.
761
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,376
That was the beginning
of my feeling empowered,
762
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,976
like I have a role
in being well here.
763
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,696
So we worked on my diet, worked
through supplements and food
764
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,046
to get me healthy again, make
me feel like myself again.
765
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:34,116
And I trusted
everything he said.
766
00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:36,276
I took everything he said.
767
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:39,336
And within a few
weeks' time, our family
768
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,086
was going off on a ski weekend
with another family, our best
769
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:43,987
friends.
770
00:30:44,011 --> 00:30:45,846
I was going with
them, but I was just
771
00:30:45,870 --> 00:30:48,336
going to be staying in the
lodge not skiing, obviously.
772
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,256
Because I had no strength,
or energy, or the wherewithal
773
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,086
anywhere in my body to do that.
774
00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:57,346
But when we got there,
the first morning,
775
00:30:57,370 --> 00:30:58,596
everyone was going off to ski.
776
00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:01,366
And I thought, it's
gorgeous out there.
777
00:31:01,390 --> 00:31:03,166
I actually feel pretty good.
778
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:04,326
Maybe I'll try this.
779
00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:06,966
So I got some skis, went
out on the Bunny Slope,
780
00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:09,796
and I just took off.
781
00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:11,641
I just... I said, I've got to go.
782
00:31:11,665 --> 00:31:12,517
I've got to try this.
783
00:31:12,541 --> 00:31:15,096
I think I can do it, and I did.
784
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,096
And I literally was going
down this hill singing
785
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,366
and crying, which
I'm going to do now,
786
00:31:26,390 --> 00:31:29,748
just filled with joy
because I was back.
787
00:31:29,772 --> 00:31:31,526
I was back.
788
00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:33,236
It took a few weeks.
789
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:34,916
That's all it took.
790
00:31:34,940 --> 00:31:37,196
Eating properly,
eating the right foods,
791
00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:43,506
taking the supplements,
that brought me back to life
792
00:31:43,530 --> 00:31:45,406
in no time.
793
00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:46,926
It felt like a true miracle.
794
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:48,636
It truly did.
795
00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:51,336
Healing is you
breaking through the walls
796
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,566
of limitation.
797
00:31:52,590 --> 00:31:54,806
It's building confidence.
798
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,826
It's building determination.
799
00:31:56,850 --> 00:31:58,176
It's reaching beyond your grasp.
800
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,136
It's breaking through the
thresholds that are binding you
801
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,786
unconditionally.
802
00:32:03,810 --> 00:32:05,436
Every now and
then people ask me,
803
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:07,936
when they learned I had breast
cancer, how long has it been?
804
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,506
And I'd do the math,
and it just amazes me.
805
00:32:10,530 --> 00:32:11,865
It's now been 22 years.
806
00:32:16,650 --> 00:32:19,636
There are all kinds of
aspects of the biofield that we
807
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:21,616
already know about
and that we measure.
808
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,496
So for example, we can
place electrodes in our head
809
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,606
or on our heart.
810
00:32:25,630 --> 00:32:27,566
And we get these
electromagnetic readouts.
811
00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:28,367
Right?
812
00:32:28,391 --> 00:32:31,036
From EKG and EEG,
and those tell us
813
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:33,256
about our clinical
condition, our heart health,
814
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,466
and our brain.
815
00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:36,136
So those are aspects
of the biofield.
816
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,206
We can even study the
biofield of cells.
817
00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:40,726
We can look at electromagnetic
readouts of the cells.
818
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:44,416
And we can look and see how
using electromagnetic energies
819
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,694
affect cellular health.
820
00:32:45,718 --> 00:32:47,236
That's pretty
well-known and studied,
821
00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:50,206
and it's really a booming
area in regenerative medicine,
822
00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:51,027
for example.
823
00:32:51,051 --> 00:32:52,676
When we put electrodes
across the body,
824
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,051
which is done in hundreds of
thousands of times every day
825
00:32:55,075 --> 00:32:57,586
in doctors' offices, you're
measuring current flow.
826
00:32:57,610 --> 00:32:59,086
And whenever we
have a current flow,
827
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,526
you create a magnetic field.
828
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:02,326
Every time the
heart beats, it also
829
00:33:02,350 --> 00:33:04,366
produces an
electromagnetic field.
830
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:07,186
The heart's the largest source
of rhythmic electrical energy
831
00:33:07,210 --> 00:33:08,097
in the body.
832
00:33:08,121 --> 00:33:09,646
So the heart's
magnetic field can
833
00:33:09,670 --> 00:33:10,846
be measured with
today's equipment
834
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:13,013
about three feet from the
body, where we've actually
835
00:33:13,037 --> 00:33:15,376
proven and published now
in peer review journals
836
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,966
that the magnetic
field of the heart
837
00:33:16,990 --> 00:33:18,766
is carrying emotional
information.
838
00:33:18,790 --> 00:33:21,046
We currently have
about 75% accuracy
839
00:33:21,070 --> 00:33:22,606
knowing what the
person's feeling,
840
00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:24,416
whether they're
conscious of it or not.
841
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,386
We are energy beings.
842
00:33:26,410 --> 00:33:30,446
And the biofield is the
energy field of our bodies.
843
00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:32,336
And it's an organizing field.
844
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,026
I believe that all of the
chemistry and physiology
845
00:33:35,050 --> 00:33:39,046
of the body is controlled
ultimately by the biofield.
846
00:33:39,070 --> 00:33:41,956
But still, the
consciousness or the mind
847
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:44,146
is the master of the biofield.
848
00:33:44,170 --> 00:33:46,396
And the biofield
we see as a bridge
849
00:33:46,420 --> 00:33:48,256
between the mind and the body.
850
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,266
Your energy field
has the consciousness.
851
00:33:50,290 --> 00:33:51,646
It thinks.
852
00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:52,816
It feels.
853
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,826
It's part of your living force.
854
00:33:54,850 --> 00:33:57,706
We're designed to react
energetically to everything.
855
00:33:57,730 --> 00:34:00,206
It's part of our
neuromuscular defense system.
856
00:34:00,230 --> 00:34:02,296
So again, if you're
sitting at home relaxing
857
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,696
and you hear a shot go
off in the neighborhood,
858
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,316
you're going to jump.
859
00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:08,175
That's part of your
neuromuscular defense
860
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:09,746
system trying to protect you.
861
00:34:09,770 --> 00:34:11,655
Our bodies are designed
to react not just
862
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,885
to those circumstances in
those fashions but everything.
863
00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:18,691
If I have you raise up your
arm, and I calibrate you,
864
00:34:18,715 --> 00:34:20,566
and I say, look, if you
hear negative images,
865
00:34:20,590 --> 00:34:22,695
negative thoughts, your
arm is going to be weak.
866
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,996
If I give you positive
images, love, happiness,
867
00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:27,316
you're going to get strong.
868
00:34:27,340 --> 00:34:31,336
In the same way, we can actually
call out foods, wheat, dairy,
869
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,346
and get you to
react and respond.
870
00:34:33,370 --> 00:34:34,396
You line up 100 people.
871
00:34:34,420 --> 00:34:35,445
They're going have
different positives
872
00:34:35,469 --> 00:34:36,167
and different negatives.
873
00:34:36,191 --> 00:34:38,175
That's the beauty of
everybody's energy field,
874
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:40,965
because you are a conscious,
living, dynamic awareness.
875
00:34:40,989 --> 00:34:43,814
You and I are fields
of living awareness.
876
00:34:43,838 --> 00:34:45,856
We're tapping into that
field of living awareness
877
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,936
with intention.
878
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,144
That's how we find out what's
going on with the body.
879
00:34:49,168 --> 00:34:51,459
We tap in energetically,
find out what kind of systems
880
00:34:51,483 --> 00:34:53,626
are breaking down, and how
we can build them back up
881
00:34:53,650 --> 00:34:54,437
and balance them.
882
00:34:54,461 --> 00:34:56,686
If somebody gets a migraine
headache or a stomachache,
883
00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:58,336
they're not thinking
about energy.
884
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,046
They're thinking about
their physical properties.
885
00:35:00,070 --> 00:35:00,887
My head hurts.
886
00:35:00,911 --> 00:35:04,066
Your head, to you, is something
material and physical.
887
00:35:04,090 --> 00:35:07,696
But I challenge people to think
that when you get into the why,
888
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:09,646
why does your head hurt?
889
00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:11,246
You start to move into energy.
890
00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:15,076
So your headache might happen,
because you ate a food that's
891
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,146
causing an inflammation.
892
00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:19,046
That's the
transference of energy.
893
00:35:19,070 --> 00:35:22,126
So again, 72% of all
disease is inflammatory,
894
00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:25,456
but 99.99% of all
activity is energetic.
895
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,240
Inflammation is happening
at an energetic level.
896
00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:33,376
My name is Elena.
897
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,796
In 2009, I started
getting headaches.
898
00:35:36,820 --> 00:35:39,796
My vision started getting worse.
899
00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:42,846
And I went to see a doctor.
900
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:47,106
After the MRI, she said,
well, there is bad news.
901
00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:50,796
You have meningioma, a brain
tumor the size of walnut
902
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:51,767
in your head.
903
00:35:51,791 --> 00:35:55,026
And after I went to see
a specialist, he said,
904
00:35:55,050 --> 00:35:57,606
there's nothing we can
do besides surgery.
905
00:35:57,630 --> 00:35:59,226
There's two types of surgery.
906
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:01,026
One, they go through your nose.
907
00:36:01,050 --> 00:36:04,836
And the other one,
they open your skull.
908
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:07,566
And since my tumor
was too big, they
909
00:36:07,590 --> 00:36:09,186
couldn't remove
it from the nose.
910
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:10,776
They had to open my skull.
911
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,737
The surgery was done.
912
00:36:11,761 --> 00:36:13,086
They think it was perfect.
913
00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:18,066
My vision came back after I
was totally completely blind
914
00:36:18,090 --> 00:36:19,776
and I started seeing again.
915
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,136
I was very happy.
916
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,586
I was very happy for a year.
917
00:36:23,610 --> 00:36:29,016
And about a year and then my
symptoms start coming back.
918
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,456
I went to see a doctor
again, and he did MRI.
919
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,186
And he said, well,
there is bad news.
920
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:39,526
Tumor come back
most of the time.
921
00:36:39,550 --> 00:36:42,966
And it started growing again.
922
00:36:42,990 --> 00:36:44,796
I ask, why?
923
00:36:44,820 --> 00:36:45,727
What is the reason?
924
00:36:45,751 --> 00:36:46,956
Why is it coming back?
925
00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:48,306
Why is it growing again?
926
00:36:48,330 --> 00:36:49,866
And he said, nobody knows.
927
00:36:49,890 --> 00:36:51,576
And at that point, I said, no.
928
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,686
It's not coming back.
929
00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:54,036
It's not growing.
930
00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:56,646
I'm not going through
a second surgery again.
931
00:36:56,670 --> 00:36:59,916
And I start looking
for some other ways.
932
00:36:59,940 --> 00:37:03,336
And a friend of mine recommended
me to see Dr. Mincolla.
933
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,546
And at that point, I was
ready for anything just not
934
00:37:06,570 --> 00:37:08,376
to go through surgery again.
935
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,066
My first appointment
with Dr. Mincolla
936
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:14,166
was surprising for me, actually.
937
00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:16,236
He put his finger
over right here
938
00:37:16,260 --> 00:37:22,206
and then started pushing my
hand down and asking questions
939
00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:23,436
like, wheat?
940
00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:24,646
Sugar?
941
00:37:24,670 --> 00:37:25,846
Dairy?
942
00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:28,836
And every time my
hand fell down,
943
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:32,256
it meant that I can't
eat particular food.
944
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,096
In order to avoid surgery,
I need to change my diet
945
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,526
and go strictly with everything
that Dr. Mincolla told me.
946
00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:43,146
I would have to
come every month,
947
00:37:43,170 --> 00:37:46,206
so he can adjust my diet
through muscle testing
948
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:48,816
and change some supplements.
949
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,476
We all have a genetic
map when we're conceived.
950
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,896
And there's mutations on
our genetic maps, potentials
951
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,736
and possibilities for disease
that can manifest in accordance
952
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,566
with our hereditary patterning.
953
00:38:01,590 --> 00:38:04,078
But these can't
express unless there
954
00:38:04,102 --> 00:38:05,286
is something to trigger them.
955
00:38:05,310 --> 00:38:08,226
Things like sugar and
allergies, like wheat allergies,
956
00:38:08,250 --> 00:38:11,556
end up driving up the
arachidonic acid levels, which
957
00:38:11,580 --> 00:38:14,736
drive up the leukotrienes,
and the Cox-2 Hormones.
958
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:20,106
Many diseases follow this
pathway of inflammation.
959
00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:23,356
My headaches
started disappearing,
960
00:38:23,380 --> 00:38:24,756
and I started feeling better.
961
00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:27,756
Everything came back
to a normal life.
962
00:38:27,780 --> 00:38:29,676
And after about
two years, I went
963
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:32,886
to see my doctor to do MRI.
964
00:38:32,910 --> 00:38:35,946
He did MRI, and he said, listen,
I don't know what you're doing
965
00:38:35,970 --> 00:38:37,206
but keep doing it.
966
00:38:37,230 --> 00:38:38,886
Your tumor is shrinking.
967
00:38:38,910 --> 00:38:43,116
It looks great, and he got
very excited with my results.
968
00:38:43,140 --> 00:38:46,026
I've been tumor-free
for nine years now,
969
00:38:46,050 --> 00:38:48,426
and I keep following diet.
970
00:38:48,450 --> 00:38:50,986
Sometimes, I cheat a little bit.
971
00:38:51,010 --> 00:38:56,106
But in general, I follow Dr.
Mincolla's recommendations.
972
00:38:56,130 --> 00:38:57,156
The diet works.
973
00:38:57,180 --> 00:39:02,796
Supplements, I think, this is
a miracle, the food, energy.
974
00:39:02,820 --> 00:39:06,006
It's incredible to know
that with changing diet,
975
00:39:06,030 --> 00:39:09,480
you can shrink tumor
and feel great again.
976
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:18,526
Coming from a physical point
of view, which is physics,
977
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:23,116
of course, quantum physics,
we quickly get to the point
978
00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:24,226
of what is the mind?
979
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:27,526
And how does the mind
interact with matter,
980
00:39:27,550 --> 00:39:28,936
what is called matter?
981
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,396
And what is the
nature of reality?
982
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:34,816
So these are deep questions, but
they really comes down to what,
983
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,016
in fact, any human
being experiences,
984
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,066
which is our own mind.
985
00:39:38,090 --> 00:39:41,308
So when we talk about
health, a lot of times,
986
00:39:41,332 --> 00:39:42,766
particularly in
the West, we really
987
00:39:42,790 --> 00:39:45,386
mean health of
the physical body.
988
00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:49,216
However, as the ancient
Greeks first said,
989
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:52,876
you can't have a healthy
body without a healthy mind.
990
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,996
There's two little words,
internal and external.
991
00:39:56,020 --> 00:39:59,326
When somebody has a bunch
of problems like headaches,
992
00:39:59,350 --> 00:40:00,946
rheumatoid arthritis,
stomachaches,
993
00:40:00,970 --> 00:40:02,926
whatever the case
may be, we want
994
00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:05,186
to know if the lion's
share of those problems,
995
00:40:05,210 --> 00:40:07,906
if most of those problems
are being caused by something
996
00:40:07,930 --> 00:40:09,736
internal or external.
997
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,996
Internal is spirit,
emotion, thought.
998
00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:17,431
External is cells,
tissues, organs, the body.
999
00:40:17,455 --> 00:40:19,556
So we want to make sure we
have a distinction here.
1000
00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:21,736
We know the difference
between the internal self
1001
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,146
and the external self.
1002
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:25,846
Our culture has programmed
us to think of ourselves
1003
00:40:25,870 --> 00:40:29,266
and associate and identify with
ourselves from the perspective
1004
00:40:29,290 --> 00:40:31,846
of physiological.
1005
00:40:31,870 --> 00:40:35,049
The idea of external, as I
would call it, it's cellular.
1006
00:40:35,073 --> 00:40:37,216
We don't spend a whole lot
of time going internally,
1007
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:38,926
the relating to
the concept of self
1008
00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:40,576
from an internal perspective.
1009
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,856
We don't understand
emotional IQ or emotions.
1010
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,656
We don't understand
spirit very well.
1011
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,836
We don't understand so many very
powerful, powerful, components
1012
00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:51,026
of self that have a great deal
to do with disease and healing.
1013
00:40:51,050 --> 00:40:53,326
And one of the key messages
of "The Way of Miracles"
1014
00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:57,976
is that people have a very
powerful internal self.
1015
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,476
People have a very
powerful spirit.
1016
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,184
People have very
powerful emotional self,
1017
00:41:01,208 --> 00:41:02,986
a very powerful mental self.
1018
00:41:03,010 --> 00:41:06,406
These unseen invisible
extra sensory components
1019
00:41:06,430 --> 00:41:10,996
of self that exist beyond the
parameters of the five senses
1020
00:41:11,020 --> 00:41:14,200
are the missing link
to human greatness.
1021
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:21,576
So there's two types of
medicine, prevention,
1022
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,686
intervention.
1023
00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:26,526
When it comes to acute
disease, trauma, accidents,
1024
00:41:26,550 --> 00:41:28,746
interventive medicine
is essential.
1025
00:41:28,770 --> 00:41:30,246
When it comes to
chronic disease,
1026
00:41:30,270 --> 00:41:33,396
chronic ailments, the expression
of genetic weaknesses,
1027
00:41:33,420 --> 00:41:36,846
et cetera, that's where
holistic medicine shines.
1028
00:41:36,870 --> 00:41:40,936
Every disease has a causal
route, every disease.
1029
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,936
Inflammation is going
to push the buttons.
1030
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,146
Stress and tension's
going to push the buttons.
1031
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:46,866
Trauma is going to
push the buttons.
1032
00:41:46,890 --> 00:41:48,516
Any of those
circumstances, they're
1033
00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:50,844
capable of triggering a lot
of those genetic realities.
1034
00:41:50,868 --> 00:41:53,136
Most people have been
programmed with a belief about
1035
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:53,917
genetics.
1036
00:41:53,941 --> 00:41:55,749
And in that science,
we talk about something
1037
00:41:55,773 --> 00:41:59,346
called genetic control,
that the genes control
1038
00:41:59,370 --> 00:42:00,636
our physical traits.
1039
00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:02,646
But then we also went
on to say that genes
1040
00:42:02,670 --> 00:42:05,326
control our behaviors
and emotions as well.
1041
00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:06,906
And that leads to
an understanding
1042
00:42:06,930 --> 00:42:09,131
that we are victims
of our heredity.
1043
00:42:09,155 --> 00:42:10,506
Whatever is running
in my family,
1044
00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:14,026
I can anticipate that I shall
likely express that as well.
1045
00:42:14,050 --> 00:42:15,846
In contrast, there's
a revolution.
1046
00:42:15,870 --> 00:42:18,666
And the Scientific Revolution
is based on a science called
1047
00:42:18,690 --> 00:42:19,836
epigenetics.
1048
00:42:19,860 --> 00:42:22,116
"Epi" means above.
1049
00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:23,406
And I say, what's the above?
1050
00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:24,996
I said, well, the environment.
1051
00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:26,826
But then all of a
sudden, I say, yes,
1052
00:42:26,850 --> 00:42:30,786
but between the environment
and ourselves is a mind.
1053
00:42:30,810 --> 00:42:33,756
And so the mind not just
reads the environment,
1054
00:42:33,780 --> 00:42:35,946
but it also provides
an interpretation
1055
00:42:35,970 --> 00:42:38,406
of that environment based on
our programming and learning
1056
00:42:38,430 --> 00:42:39,696
experiences.
1057
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,546
Epigenetics can change
the readout of the genes
1058
00:42:42,570 --> 00:42:44,736
based on the signals
from the environment.
1059
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,426
I can create over 3,000
different protein molecules
1060
00:42:48,450 --> 00:42:52,446
from the same blueprint based on
epigenetic control mechanisms.
1061
00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:55,086
Since it's based on the
environment and our perception
1062
00:42:55,110 --> 00:42:57,486
of the environment, those are
things that we can control.
1063
00:42:57,510 --> 00:43:00,936
Genetics gave us the belief
we were victims of heredity.
1064
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,236
And epigenetics turns the
table, because epigenetics says,
1065
00:43:04,260 --> 00:43:07,026
we are masters of
our genetic control.
1066
00:43:07,050 --> 00:43:09,276
Because we can control
our perceptions,
1067
00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:11,706
and we can control
our environment.
1068
00:43:11,730 --> 00:43:14,736
About 50 years ago, the
field of psychoneuroimmunology
1069
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,876
didn't even exist.
1070
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:17,886
Because in Western
science, we didn't even
1071
00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:19,836
believe that our
mind and our emotions
1072
00:43:19,860 --> 00:43:21,456
could affect our
physical health.
1073
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,196
But that has changed
dramatically.
1074
00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:25,146
And over the last
50 years, we've
1075
00:43:25,170 --> 00:43:27,036
not only learned
that the brain is
1076
00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:30,246
connected to the immune system
and the hormonal system.
1077
00:43:30,270 --> 00:43:32,706
But our emotions
affect us deeply.
1078
00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:37,396
More often than not, the
root of disease is energetic.
1079
00:43:37,420 --> 00:43:41,326
It's emotional imbalances
that cause physical sickness.
1080
00:43:41,350 --> 00:43:42,127
It's grief.
1081
00:43:42,151 --> 00:43:43,146
It's anxiety.
1082
00:43:43,170 --> 00:43:44,137
It's unresolved.
1083
00:43:44,161 --> 00:43:45,876
So emotion that's
unresolved puts us
1084
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,006
in a stressed
chemistry state that
1085
00:43:48,030 --> 00:43:51,156
triggers the psychosomatic
response bridging
1086
00:43:51,180 --> 00:43:53,316
from immaterial to material.
1087
00:43:53,340 --> 00:43:55,446
The mind and the
body are one thing.
1088
00:43:55,470 --> 00:43:57,156
They're one field of energy.
1089
00:43:57,180 --> 00:43:59,866
And there's more chemistry
that's produced in your brain
1090
00:43:59,890 --> 00:44:01,896
than there is in the
downtown pharmacy.
1091
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,386
As we think, so
does our body go.
1092
00:44:04,410 --> 00:44:07,056
The nervous
system is perception,
1093
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,676
reading the environment.
1094
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:11,376
But the mind is
an interpretation
1095
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,516
of the perception.
1096
00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:15,306
When the brain interprets
through the mind
1097
00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:17,196
that this is a
stress, it's usually
1098
00:44:17,220 --> 00:44:19,686
time to engage what is
called fight or flight.
1099
00:44:19,710 --> 00:44:20,871
I got to get out of here.
1100
00:44:20,895 --> 00:44:22,746
I've got to save my
life, or I got to engage.
1101
00:44:22,770 --> 00:44:23,856
I got to do something.
1102
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,196
I say, that engagement
involves arms and legs.
1103
00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:29,856
When we're at rest and
at peace, the blood flow
1104
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,176
is principally into the viscera
and into the head, where
1105
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,426
we nourish the organs
that keep us healthy,
1106
00:44:36,450 --> 00:44:39,186
maintain our bodies,
and just watchdog of how
1107
00:44:39,210 --> 00:44:40,626
the system is working.
1108
00:44:40,650 --> 00:44:42,666
Stress hormones cause
the blood vessels
1109
00:44:42,690 --> 00:44:44,376
in the gut to squeeze shut.
1110
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,026
That pushes the
blood to the outside.
1111
00:44:46,050 --> 00:44:47,796
So it shuts off
maintenance of the body.
1112
00:44:47,820 --> 00:44:51,574
The immune system is one of
the most energy using systems
1113
00:44:51,598 --> 00:44:52,866
in the body, when it's working.
1114
00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:56,436
Stress hormones shut
down the immune system
1115
00:44:56,460 --> 00:44:58,006
to conserve energy.
1116
00:44:58,030 --> 00:45:00,186
So we can use that energy
for fight or flight
1117
00:45:00,210 --> 00:45:01,986
from the exterior threat.
1118
00:45:02,010 --> 00:45:04,566
And then there's the last one,
which I always call insult
1119
00:45:04,590 --> 00:45:06,426
to injury, because
the blood vessels
1120
00:45:06,450 --> 00:45:09,996
in the forebrain conscious
area squeeze shut.
1121
00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:12,186
That pushes the blood
to the hindbrain
1122
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:16,426
which is reaction, reflex,
no thinking, response.
1123
00:45:16,450 --> 00:45:18,608
And so the three effects
of the stress hormone
1124
00:45:18,632 --> 00:45:20,316
shutting down the
growth the maintenance,
1125
00:45:20,340 --> 00:45:24,066
shutting down the immune system,
and it shuts down intelligence.
1126
00:45:24,090 --> 00:45:28,266
Because thinking is too slow
in an emergency response.
1127
00:45:28,290 --> 00:45:31,956
In today's world,
stress is 24/7, 365.
1128
00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:34,506
We were never
physiologically designed
1129
00:45:34,530 --> 00:45:36,526
to have that
interference with growth
1130
00:45:36,550 --> 00:45:38,256
and the immune system
and intelligence
1131
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,916
for long periods of time.
1132
00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:42,276
So now, it turns out
up to 90% of illness
1133
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:45,000
on this planet is directly
connected to stress.
1134
00:45:50,002 --> 00:45:52,436
All the while, while we're
being raised and we're moving
1135
00:45:52,460 --> 00:45:54,446
through our earlier
period in life,
1136
00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:58,876
there's a soul that's observing
silently all of our life
1137
00:45:58,900 --> 00:46:00,856
process.
1138
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,196
We touch upon it
from time to time.
1139
00:46:03,220 --> 00:46:05,536
We get closer and
then further away.
1140
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,236
The challenge is
to lock into it,
1141
00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:12,616
to identify with it as
source, as true self.
1142
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,706
We have a conscious mind
that processes 2,000
1143
00:46:15,730 --> 00:46:17,606
bits of information per second.
1144
00:46:17,630 --> 00:46:21,496
We have a subconscious mind
the process is 400 billion bits
1145
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,966
of information per second.
1146
00:46:22,990 --> 00:46:25,116
The conscious mind
is in the moment
1147
00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:27,296
and thinking about
life, solving problems.
1148
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,536
The subconscious
remembers everything.
1149
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,609
You could take a drive
from here to New York.
1150
00:46:31,633 --> 00:46:32,776
You look at a license plate.
1151
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,616
You look at a tree in the
distance, that's stored forever
1152
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,776
in your subconscious mind.
1153
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,186
Super conscious is
entirely different.
1154
00:46:41,210 --> 00:46:43,756
It's referred to spiritually
as the Atman or the Brahman.
1155
00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:45,706
It's higher thought.
1156
00:46:45,730 --> 00:46:46,667
It's elevated thought.
1157
00:46:46,691 --> 00:46:48,316
It's the limitless thought.
1158
00:46:48,340 --> 00:46:51,076
To attain that
higher consciousness
1159
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:54,056
is, ironically, a matter of
doing less not doing more.
1160
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,686
We can develop and become
aware of super consciousness
1161
00:46:56,710 --> 00:47:01,126
through a lot of meditation,
prayer, going within ourselves,
1162
00:47:01,150 --> 00:47:03,856
operating at a deeper level
beyond our mundane level
1163
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:04,817
of consciousness.
1164
00:47:04,841 --> 00:47:07,466
Most of us live in beta
brainwave states, stress,
1165
00:47:07,490 --> 00:47:09,086
stress, stress.
1166
00:47:09,110 --> 00:47:11,936
Stress can be dealt with in
a variety of different ways.
1167
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,166
One of the most important
ways is deep meditation.
1168
00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:19,384
Meditation,
prayer, yoga, dance,
1169
00:47:19,408 --> 00:47:20,926
there are a number
of different ways.
1170
00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:24,286
But really, the key is simply
to drop into an awareness
1171
00:47:24,310 --> 00:47:25,966
of the subtle.
1172
00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:28,546
In every moment,
letting our minds quiet
1173
00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:33,026
and really allowing ourselves
to feel deeply in our bodies.
1174
00:47:33,050 --> 00:47:35,886
You start to quiet the
mind through meditation.
1175
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:40,426
You move into the meditative
state which is alpha.
1176
00:47:40,450 --> 00:47:42,416
And things start to slow down.
1177
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,718
When things slow down,
possibilities open up.
1178
00:47:45,742 --> 00:47:47,176
You start to move
closer and closer
1179
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,216
in the super conscious
realm by calming
1180
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,616
our nervous system
at a deep, deep level
1181
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,266
by cultivating peace.
1182
00:47:53,290 --> 00:47:56,596
Cultivating peace means you
don't embrace negativity.
1183
00:47:56,620 --> 00:47:58,006
You don't get stuck on it.
1184
00:47:58,030 --> 00:47:59,104
You move past it.
1185
00:47:59,128 --> 00:48:01,396
It's a question of whether
you're controlling your mind
1186
00:48:01,420 --> 00:48:04,614
or your mind is controlling you.
1187
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,006
My name is Elizabeth.
1188
00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:12,336
I, basically, just grew
up a really sick kid.
1189
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,736
I was in and out of Children's
Hospital multiple times
1190
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,896
per week for periods
of time growing up,
1191
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,406
always had a cold, or some
sort of virus, or a flu,
1192
00:48:20,430 --> 00:48:22,076
or scarlet fever, or mono.
1193
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:27,426
I had prediabetes or was
prediabetic, hypoglycemic.
1194
00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:29,566
When I was 18, I was
a freshman in college.
1195
00:48:29,590 --> 00:48:33,936
I woke up one morning
with debilitating pain,
1196
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,526
like truly debilitating.
1197
00:48:35,550 --> 00:48:37,896
I went to the ER
then and, eventually,
1198
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,436
after lots of tests, found
out that I had pancreatitis.
1199
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:44,646
Doctors were not
sure why at first.
1200
00:48:44,670 --> 00:48:46,776
They did more tests and
tried to figure it out.
1201
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,386
And eventually, they found out
that I had an atypical form
1202
00:48:49,410 --> 00:48:50,796
of cystic fibrosis.
1203
00:48:50,820 --> 00:48:53,736
I just read a lot of stuff
about typical cystic fibrosis
1204
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:59,106
and how life expectancy can be
very young, mid-30s, younger.
1205
00:48:59,130 --> 00:49:02,926
That was just, I would say,
a tough time in general
1206
00:49:02,950 --> 00:49:05,526
starting to think about
these things so young
1207
00:49:05,550 --> 00:49:07,816
and wondering what was going
to happen in the future.
1208
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,166
Another doctor that was really
significant during this time
1209
00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:12,664
was my GI.
1210
00:49:12,688 --> 00:49:14,706
I remember one of the
first questions I asked him
1211
00:49:14,730 --> 00:49:16,386
after I got diagnosed.
1212
00:49:16,410 --> 00:49:18,186
Will I still be able
to study abroad?
1213
00:49:18,210 --> 00:49:19,326
Is this still possible?
1214
00:49:19,350 --> 00:49:22,416
And I was all excited,
and he paused.
1215
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:23,916
And I remember he
looked down at me,
1216
00:49:23,940 --> 00:49:27,096
and he was like, we'll try our
hardest to get you over there.
1217
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,466
I just realized this is serious.
1218
00:49:30,490 --> 00:49:32,316
My mom made an
appointment for me
1219
00:49:32,340 --> 00:49:35,896
with Dr. Mincolla who was
recommended to her by a family
1220
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:36,697
friend of ours.
1221
00:49:36,721 --> 00:49:39,176
My mom and I came prepared
with my massive file.
1222
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,676
And I remember being like, do
you want to see my blood work?
1223
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:44,046
And he was like, no, I
don't need any of that.
1224
00:49:44,070 --> 00:49:48,096
Elizabeth was a little bit of
two different issues converged.
1225
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,206
Her pancreatitis, of course, had
a lot to do with carbohydrates,
1226
00:49:52,230 --> 00:49:56,086
starches, sugars,
processed foods.
1227
00:49:56,110 --> 00:49:59,526
I think that her
atypical cystic fibrosis
1228
00:49:59,550 --> 00:50:02,226
is more correlated with a lot of
the stress that she was under,
1229
00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:04,206
as well as her diet,
which had to be
1230
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,276
largely an anti-inflammatory
diet as well.
1231
00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:07,716
He gave me a list of foods.
1232
00:50:07,740 --> 00:50:09,966
And he said, basically,
eat these foods
1233
00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:11,703
and don't eat these foods.
1234
00:50:11,727 --> 00:50:13,536
Because these foods
react well to your body,
1235
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,096
and these foods don't right now.
1236
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,776
The things he was
telling me to cut out
1237
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,706
were things like wheat, gluten,
dairy, soy, corn, yeast,
1238
00:50:20,730 --> 00:50:22,396
vinegar, nuts, seeds.
1239
00:50:22,420 --> 00:50:23,197
Yeah.
1240
00:50:23,221 --> 00:50:27,216
We walked out, I think,
unsure if I was really
1241
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:30,906
going to stick to his
protocol and if it was really
1242
00:50:30,930 --> 00:50:32,296
going to work.
1243
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:37,326
And then oddly enough, I
woke up the next morning
1244
00:50:37,350 --> 00:50:42,036
with pancreatitis and had
to go to the hospital.
1245
00:50:42,060 --> 00:50:47,736
I realized in a big way that
I have a pretty high level
1246
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,106
of responsibility when
it comes to my health
1247
00:50:50,130 --> 00:50:54,936
and decided to follow Dr.
Mincolla's recommendations
1248
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,226
to a T. Once I got a ways
into following the protocol,
1249
00:50:59,250 --> 00:51:03,156
realizing that I could get
healthy and was getting healthy
1250
00:51:03,180 --> 00:51:06,636
and was healthy, it really made
me realize that I and we have
1251
00:51:06,660 --> 00:51:09,096
the capacity to heal ourselves.
1252
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,376
I was like, why is not
everybody shouting this
1253
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,456
from the rooftops?
1254
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,796
All this time, my body
was trying to talk to me.
1255
00:51:14,820 --> 00:51:16,836
It was almost like
it spoke a language
1256
00:51:16,860 --> 00:51:18,726
that I didn't understand.
1257
00:51:18,750 --> 00:51:23,346
It suddenly opened
up all of this space
1258
00:51:23,370 --> 00:51:25,656
to explore other things.
1259
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,906
Like, how can I
become even healthier?
1260
00:51:27,930 --> 00:51:30,816
And how can I not only make
my body healthy, but how
1261
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,816
can I make sure my mind
and my spirit are healthy?
1262
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,116
We worked spiritually
with her quite a bit,
1263
00:51:37,140 --> 00:51:40,506
trying to get her to understand
that she didn't have to carry
1264
00:51:40,530 --> 00:51:44,286
her stress in a daily nervous
system that was piqued.
1265
00:51:44,310 --> 00:51:46,716
A lot of people just
don't edit their stress.
1266
00:51:46,740 --> 00:51:47,687
They carry it.
1267
00:51:47,711 --> 00:51:49,311
And I think that we
talked to her a lot
1268
00:51:49,335 --> 00:51:51,216
about changing her
whole chemistry
1269
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,106
at an emotional and a
mental level as well
1270
00:51:53,130 --> 00:51:55,476
and not accepting that stress.
1271
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:58,446
Eventually, a couple
of years later, really,
1272
00:51:58,470 --> 00:52:03,186
I did look back and realize I'm
living the way that I was told
1273
00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:04,446
I wouldn't be able to live.
1274
00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:07,836
I think that moment happened
while I was studying abroad.
1275
00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:10,656
You could say, maybe
proving my GI doctor wrong
1276
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,896
who seemed to not have a lot of
faith in the possibility of me
1277
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,008
going over there.
1278
00:52:15,032 --> 00:52:16,716
The biggest thing that
this whole journey
1279
00:52:16,740 --> 00:52:18,726
has given me and
seeing Dr. Mincolla
1280
00:52:18,750 --> 00:52:22,596
has given me is a new
relationship with myself
1281
00:52:22,620 --> 00:52:25,536
and the way that I
interact with myself.
1282
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:30,396
There is some level, I believe,
of the divine in all of us.
1283
00:52:30,420 --> 00:52:35,376
I think we're here to
recognize that in each other.
1284
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:40,376
Emptiness, clarity, openness,
flow is the direction we need
1285
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,476
to start operating our minds in
and to understand that we can
1286
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:46,576
apply it to making miracles.
1287
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,336
Miracles are exceptional.
1288
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,506
They're extraordinary.
1289
00:52:49,530 --> 00:52:52,726
In order to produce
extraordinary possibilities,
1290
00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:55,056
we need to use our
extraordinary machinery.
1291
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,455
There's nothing more powerful
than the super conscious mind.
1292
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,656
Regeneration is
inherent in all life.
1293
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,946
And this enables the ability to
recover from diseases, wounds,
1294
00:53:10,970 --> 00:53:12,296
and injuries.
1295
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,646
We have it, of course.
1296
00:53:13,670 --> 00:53:16,266
In wound healing, you
get a cut or a scratch,
1297
00:53:16,290 --> 00:53:17,966
and it heals itself.
1298
00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:19,076
The skin heals up.
1299
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:25,016
The human body is actually
not a thing but a process.
1300
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:31,436
And it's a process of recycling.
1301
00:53:31,460 --> 00:53:33,896
The blood is being
regenerated all the time.
1302
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,356
And the intestinal
lining and the skin
1303
00:53:36,380 --> 00:53:38,436
is continually being replaced.
1304
00:53:38,460 --> 00:53:41,486
So this ability to
heal and regenerate
1305
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:44,156
is just intrinsic to
the very nature of life.
1306
00:53:44,180 --> 00:53:46,226
Humans were healing
and regenerating
1307
00:53:46,250 --> 00:53:49,106
and recovering from
diseases long before doctors
1308
00:53:49,130 --> 00:53:51,326
came along or even shamans.
1309
00:53:51,350 --> 00:53:54,146
In fact, everything that is
alive on the planet today
1310
00:53:54,170 --> 00:53:56,066
has had ancestors
that have survived
1311
00:53:56,090 --> 00:53:57,506
for several billion years.
1312
00:53:57,530 --> 00:54:00,056
Otherwise, none of
us would be here.
1313
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,316
So we rely on this intrinsic
healing capacity of the body.
1314
00:54:04,340 --> 00:54:06,776
And the healing
capacity is influenced
1315
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,636
by nutrition, the environment.
1316
00:54:09,660 --> 00:54:13,046
It's also influenced by
emotional and mental factors.
1317
00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:16,286
Your consciousness is
translating your experiences
1318
00:54:16,310 --> 00:54:17,217
into chemistry.
1319
00:54:17,241 --> 00:54:18,956
And that chemistry
could be chemistry
1320
00:54:18,980 --> 00:54:20,846
that supports health
or chemistry that
1321
00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:21,986
supports protection.
1322
00:54:22,010 --> 00:54:25,766
So we find ourselves in a
mutual exclusive situation.
1323
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:27,456
Am I in growth, or
am I in protection?
1324
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,696
I say, well then, it's based
where your thoughts are.
1325
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:32,876
We've been very interested
in the phenomenon of gratitude,
1326
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:34,536
particularly in our
cardiac patients.
1327
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,906
It's really been remarkable, in
the sense of the literal power
1328
00:54:38,930 --> 00:54:41,846
when you help a person
activate and engage
1329
00:54:41,870 --> 00:54:43,406
in some of these foundational...
1330
00:54:43,430 --> 00:54:46,016
I consider them attributes
of the soul itself...
1331
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,956
And bring it more as a daily
activity, and practice,
1332
00:54:48,980 --> 00:54:51,956
and perception in their life.
1333
00:54:51,980 --> 00:54:54,896
They change spiritually,
get healthier,
1334
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,816
and depressed mood reduces.
1335
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,556
Their fatigue level reduces.
1336
00:54:58,580 --> 00:55:01,166
We've done a lot of blood
work on these patients looking
1337
00:55:01,190 --> 00:55:03,746
at traditional biomarkers
of cardiac function.
1338
00:55:03,770 --> 00:55:07,466
These go down dramatically,
which normally doesn't happen.
1339
00:55:07,490 --> 00:55:10,196
But for example, we had a
group of patients randomized
1340
00:55:10,220 --> 00:55:12,446
keeping a gratitude journal.
1341
00:55:12,470 --> 00:55:14,486
And we asked them
every day, please
1342
00:55:14,510 --> 00:55:17,936
write down two or three things
that you're grateful for.
1343
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,381
At the end of those
eight weeks, the patients
1344
00:55:20,405 --> 00:55:22,256
who had been assigned
to gratitude journaling
1345
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,386
had about a 24% reduction
in the inflammatory load
1346
00:55:27,410 --> 00:55:28,616
as we measured it.
1347
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,466
And the patients who
continued as usual care,
1348
00:55:31,490 --> 00:55:33,276
they either stayed
the way they were,
1349
00:55:33,300 --> 00:55:36,166
or they got a little bit worse
over those two month period.
1350
00:55:36,190 --> 00:55:37,856
So this is very powerful.
1351
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,036
When we're feeling things
like compassion, love,
1352
00:55:41,060 --> 00:55:44,186
gratitude, kindness, we
naturally go into more heart
1353
00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:46,526
coherence, which is, if you
look at it on the graph,
1354
00:55:46,550 --> 00:55:48,776
it's a sine wave looking rhythm.
1355
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,666
But to have that
rhythmic pattern
1356
00:55:50,690 --> 00:55:54,056
means a lot of beneficial things
had to go on inside of our body
1357
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,546
for that to occur.
1358
00:55:55,570 --> 00:55:57,861
It's reflecting not only
increased synchronization
1359
00:55:57,885 --> 00:55:59,486
within the different
parts of our brain
1360
00:55:59,510 --> 00:56:01,676
and nervous system
but synchronization
1361
00:56:01,700 --> 00:56:03,236
between our blood
pressure rhythms,
1362
00:56:03,260 --> 00:56:05,336
our heart rhythms, our
respiratory rhythms.
1363
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,726
The heart and brain, they get
measurably more synchronized.
1364
00:56:08,750 --> 00:56:10,766
So it's we now know
many hundreds of studies
1365
00:56:10,790 --> 00:56:12,446
later that this is
an optimal state.
1366
00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:16,316
When you're feeling frustrated,
or anxious, or overwhelmed,
1367
00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:19,496
or these types of feelings,
the heart's rhythm,
1368
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,926
the pattern of it becomes
very chaotic looking.
1369
00:56:21,950 --> 00:56:25,706
So that is literally reflecting
a lack of synchronized activity
1370
00:56:25,730 --> 00:56:27,546
within the brain
and nervous system.
1371
00:56:27,570 --> 00:56:29,129
And I think that's
why a lot of people
1372
00:56:29,153 --> 00:56:30,416
call them negative emotions.
1373
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,396
And when people
are depressed,
1374
00:56:32,420 --> 00:56:35,676
and that's a common feature
typically of cardiac disease,
1375
00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:39,306
depression itself tends to be
a phenomenon of contraction
1376
00:56:39,330 --> 00:56:40,107
in the world.
1377
00:56:40,131 --> 00:56:42,806
People feel more
and more isolated.
1378
00:56:42,830 --> 00:56:46,076
But gratitude as a
practice is an opening.
1379
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:48,476
It's a willingness
and a reopening out
1380
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:50,046
to the world around them.
1381
00:56:50,070 --> 00:56:51,909
And that's what the
patients would report.
1382
00:56:51,933 --> 00:56:53,576
While we talked
about what fear does,
1383
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,636
releasing the stress hormones
into the system that readjust
1384
00:56:56,660 --> 00:56:59,786
the physiology of the body,
we also have to recognize that
1385
00:56:59,810 --> 00:57:03,506
love also releases chemistry
but totally different chemistry
1386
00:57:03,530 --> 00:57:04,407
than fear.
1387
00:57:04,431 --> 00:57:06,446
Love releases
wonderful chemicals
1388
00:57:06,470 --> 00:57:08,036
such as dopamine, pleasure.
1389
00:57:08,060 --> 00:57:09,596
We release vasopressin.
1390
00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:12,396
That makes the partners
attractive to each other.
1391
00:57:12,420 --> 00:57:14,006
So that holds that bond.
1392
00:57:14,030 --> 00:57:16,266
The bonding is from
oxytocin released
1393
00:57:16,290 --> 00:57:20,216
in love, which says, connect
with this source of love.
1394
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,496
And growth hormone,
and that name
1395
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,656
is, obviously, it causes
a growth and maintenance
1396
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:25,617
of the system.
1397
00:57:25,641 --> 00:57:28,496
Because love is the
chemistry of health.
1398
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,426
Stress is the chemistry
of protection.
1399
00:57:32,450 --> 00:57:35,606
So I say, well then, I'm
changing the environment inside
1400
00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:37,656
based on the consciousness.
1401
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,746
The fundamental common
element has to do with
1402
00:57:39,770 --> 00:57:40,976
connectivity.
1403
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,996
The average person lives a
life of perceived separation
1404
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:48,446
from other people in their
environment, from the world
1405
00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:49,297
itself.
1406
00:57:49,321 --> 00:57:52,436
And I think since that is
a fundamental illusion,
1407
00:57:52,460 --> 00:57:55,466
the presence of that illusion
in the person's psyche
1408
00:57:55,490 --> 00:57:58,730
is always a bit of a strain and
a stress as the time goes on.
1409
00:58:03,330 --> 00:58:05,406
The mind is not the brain.
1410
00:58:05,430 --> 00:58:09,536
The brain is a biological form
that lives inside your skull.
1411
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,206
It's like a heart, a liver,
a kidney, and a gallbladder.
1412
00:58:12,230 --> 00:58:15,926
But the mind is a very
different property.
1413
00:58:15,950 --> 00:58:17,776
It's an infinite property.
1414
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,266
I always like to say that
the brain is somewhere.
1415
00:58:21,290 --> 00:58:22,956
The mind is everywhere.
1416
00:58:22,980 --> 00:58:24,876
We have an understanding
of consciousness,
1417
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:27,026
which is controlling our
biology, is in our head.
1418
00:58:27,050 --> 00:58:28,369
We put wires on a person's head.
1419
00:58:28,393 --> 00:58:29,786
It's called
electroencephalograph.
1420
00:58:29,810 --> 00:58:31,308
I'm reading brain function.
1421
00:58:31,332 --> 00:58:32,516
I say, yeah, but where is it?
1422
00:58:32,540 --> 00:58:33,846
It's inside the head.
1423
00:58:33,870 --> 00:58:36,231
And electrical activity
is conducted to the skin.
1424
00:58:36,255 --> 00:58:37,856
That's where the
electrodes pick it up.
1425
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,276
There's a new device called
magnetoencephalograph, not.
1426
00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:43,226
EEG, MEG.
1427
00:58:43,250 --> 00:58:45,806
And this is mind blowing.
1428
00:58:45,830 --> 00:58:48,686
The probe doesn't
touch the body at all.
1429
00:58:48,710 --> 00:58:50,336
The probe is out here.
1430
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,766
And they're reading the
consciousness activity
1431
00:58:52,790 --> 00:58:54,116
of your brain.
1432
00:58:54,140 --> 00:58:55,466
Stop.
1433
00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:56,576
The point is this.
1434
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,186
Your thoughts are not
contained in your head.
1435
00:58:59,210 --> 00:59:02,006
You are broadcasting your
thoughts into the field.
1436
00:59:02,030 --> 00:59:04,136
Many of us have had
experiences of being around
1437
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,656
someone, where we left
feeling really charged up
1438
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:07,686
or the opposite.
1439
00:59:07,710 --> 00:59:08,906
We felt drained.
1440
00:59:08,930 --> 00:59:11,696
My emotions actually
go beyond my skin.
1441
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,166
They affect others.
1442
00:59:13,190 --> 00:59:16,586
My thoughts actually affect
the field of energy around me
1443
00:59:16,610 --> 00:59:17,846
and can affect others.
1444
00:59:17,870 --> 00:59:20,303
When we're in the heart
coherent state, loving,
1445
00:59:20,327 --> 00:59:22,886
compassionate, and kind states,
there are several studies that
1446
00:59:22,910 --> 00:59:25,736
are now showing that that
actually has a lifting effect
1447
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,816
on the others within our field.
1448
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,706
So our nervous systems seem
to be exquisitely tuned
1449
00:59:31,730 --> 00:59:34,566
to the magnetic fields
produced by other people.
1450
00:59:34,590 --> 00:59:36,956
Everything made out of
energy is interconnected,
1451
00:59:36,980 --> 00:59:39,416
because energy has no barriers.
1452
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,146
That means everything
in the universe
1453
00:59:42,170 --> 00:59:44,276
is part of the same energy.
1454
00:59:44,300 --> 00:59:45,896
And that means no separation.
1455
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,226
Ancient medical systems were
based on spiritual traditions
1456
00:59:49,250 --> 00:59:53,066
that understood the
interconnection between spirit,
1457
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:57,086
Earth, the elements, our
bodies, and our emotions.
1458
00:59:57,110 --> 00:59:58,846
They are all connected.
1459
00:59:58,870 --> 01:00:01,506
Now, this may seem really
like, how does that work?
1460
01:00:01,530 --> 01:00:04,106
But basically, they had worked
out these systems really well.
1461
01:00:04,130 --> 01:00:07,226
And what we experience
as pain, depression,
1462
01:00:07,250 --> 01:00:09,506
is really due to
a lack of harmony
1463
01:00:09,530 --> 01:00:11,456
within ourselves
and our environment.
1464
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:11,727
Right?
1465
01:00:11,751 --> 01:00:13,736
So it's really based on
a different cosmology.
1466
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,926
From a biofield point
of view, the biofield
1467
01:00:15,950 --> 01:00:17,786
is basically giving
us information
1468
01:00:17,810 --> 01:00:21,156
about our sense of harmony with
ourselves and our environment.
1469
01:00:21,180 --> 01:00:23,966
So when acupuncturists
talk about stuck energy,
1470
01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:26,366
or an energy healer
says, you've got
1471
01:00:26,390 --> 01:00:28,256
energy stuck in a
particular chakra
1472
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,506
or a meridian, what
they're talking about
1473
01:00:30,530 --> 01:00:33,086
is an imbalance in
the system that needs
1474
01:00:33,110 --> 01:00:34,706
to be moving towards harmony.
1475
01:00:34,730 --> 01:00:38,066
And so the more we pay attention
to these subtle aspects
1476
01:00:38,090 --> 01:00:41,216
of being, the energetic feelings
that we get from everything
1477
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,416
around us, from our
emotions, our thoughts,
1478
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,925
our interactions, the more we're
realizing we're not separate.
1479
01:00:52,090 --> 01:00:55,546
My name is Diane, and I've
been a patient of Mark Mincolla
1480
01:00:55,570 --> 01:00:56,806
for 36 years.
1481
01:00:56,830 --> 01:01:02,056
One of the main issues that we
addressed during those 36 years
1482
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,706
was my being an addict.
1483
01:01:03,730 --> 01:01:06,616
I gave up alcohol when I was 26.
1484
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,016
And I went on to bigger
and better things,
1485
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,066
thinking nothing.
1486
01:01:10,090 --> 01:01:12,046
I didn't even think I
was an addict, really.
1487
01:01:12,070 --> 01:01:13,536
And I'm in the music business.
1488
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,426
So in the '70s, cocaine was it.
1489
01:01:16,450 --> 01:01:17,986
It was great to have it.
1490
01:01:18,010 --> 01:01:19,756
I was powerful.
1491
01:01:19,780 --> 01:01:21,736
I could give it to
everybody and celebrate.
1492
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,886
And I was told that it
was not an addictive drug.
1493
01:01:24,910 --> 01:01:26,546
That's not true.
1494
01:01:26,570 --> 01:01:29,896
And for the next eight
years after I started,
1495
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,496
it was pretty much
a living hell.
1496
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:32,296
I functioned.
1497
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:33,287
I worked.
1498
01:01:33,311 --> 01:01:35,776
I did all the things you
do, but spiritually, I
1499
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,216
was just getting broken down.
1500
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:38,566
I was going to a therapist.
1501
01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:40,466
I was very messed up.
1502
01:01:40,490 --> 01:01:42,226
And I didn't feel
well physically.
1503
01:01:42,250 --> 01:01:46,696
And he said, there's only one
person I know for you to go to.
1504
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,526
And I was so desperate
I didn't care who it
1505
01:01:48,550 --> 01:01:50,416
was at that moment I thought.
1506
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,906
And then I walked
into his office.
1507
01:01:52,930 --> 01:01:55,576
And I left saying, I'm
not going back there.
1508
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,556
He's just not a good fit for me.
1509
01:01:57,580 --> 01:01:58,996
He's too arrogant.
1510
01:01:59,020 --> 01:02:00,266
So I'm back to therapy.
1511
01:02:00,290 --> 01:02:02,906
And I progressively got
worse, mentally, physically,
1512
01:02:02,930 --> 01:02:03,807
spiritually.
1513
01:02:03,831 --> 01:02:07,366
And the physical aspect
was getting horrible.
1514
01:02:07,390 --> 01:02:10,451
And the therapist
said, I can't help you
1515
01:02:10,475 --> 01:02:12,076
if you don't want to
see Mark Mincolla.
1516
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:13,396
You got to go.
1517
01:02:13,420 --> 01:02:15,206
And I walked in.
1518
01:02:15,230 --> 01:02:17,546
And I told him I
didn't like him.
1519
01:02:17,570 --> 01:02:20,166
I told him I thought
he was arrogant
1520
01:02:20,190 --> 01:02:21,476
but that I was desperate.
1521
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:24,266
And I needed someone to help
me, and I sat there with my arms
1522
01:02:24,290 --> 01:02:27,746
like this the whole
time in fighting mode.
1523
01:02:27,770 --> 01:02:29,426
And he looked at
me at one point,
1524
01:02:29,450 --> 01:02:33,266
and he said, I'm
here for you forever,
1525
01:02:33,290 --> 01:02:34,728
whatever, doesn't matter.
1526
01:02:34,752 --> 01:02:36,186
You can be whoever,
because I said,
1527
01:02:36,210 --> 01:02:38,006
I'm not giving up cocaine.
1528
01:02:38,030 --> 01:02:39,466
He said, that's OK.
1529
01:02:39,490 --> 01:02:40,267
That's OK.
1530
01:02:40,291 --> 01:02:42,416
I'm here for you,
and that was it.
1531
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,116
So when a patient like
Diane comes in and sees me,
1532
01:02:45,140 --> 01:02:48,716
I just made it my number one
obligation not to go to her
1533
01:02:48,740 --> 01:02:50,543
spirit but to go to my soul.
1534
01:02:50,567 --> 01:02:53,126
Because if I go to your spirit,
I'm going to go down with you.
1535
01:02:53,150 --> 01:02:54,876
Part of the reason
energy is contagious is
1536
01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:58,226
because you're coming from
a place that's not source.
1537
01:02:58,250 --> 01:03:00,184
So the person that's with
you is not in source.
1538
01:03:00,208 --> 01:03:00,985
Guess what?
1539
01:03:01,009 --> 01:03:02,636
You're not going
to be in source.
1540
01:03:02,660 --> 01:03:05,376
So by the same token,
Diane comes in.
1541
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,706
She's in broken-spirited mode.
1542
01:03:07,730 --> 01:03:09,216
I'm not going there.
1543
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:10,826
I'm going to my soul.
1544
01:03:10,850 --> 01:03:13,006
I'm going to ground both of us.
1545
01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:15,046
There's a contagion there
that's more powerful.
1546
01:03:15,070 --> 01:03:17,426
When I went there, I
strictly went there for physical
1547
01:03:17,450 --> 01:03:19,526
purposes I thought.
1548
01:03:19,550 --> 01:03:21,296
But there's something about him.
1549
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,016
When you walk in his office,
he knows who you are,
1550
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,626
not your mind, not your story.
1551
01:03:27,650 --> 01:03:29,516
He knows the essence
of your being,
1552
01:03:29,540 --> 01:03:31,496
and right away the
healing starts.
1553
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,316
I was living thinking, well, I
came from messed up background.
1554
01:03:35,340 --> 01:03:36,776
I blamed it on everybody.
1555
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,446
And I didn't know what
the root of it was.
1556
01:03:39,470 --> 01:03:42,596
So self contempt is
something that's been programmed
1557
01:03:42,620 --> 01:03:44,096
in our lives.
1558
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,766
We tend to feel shame, doubt.
1559
01:03:46,790 --> 01:03:50,156
We tend to feel negative
feelings about the concept
1560
01:03:50,180 --> 01:03:53,486
of self being deserving.
1561
01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:56,546
I would say, I want you to
picture yourself as a child.
1562
01:03:56,570 --> 01:03:59,396
Go home and search through
all your photographs.
1563
01:03:59,420 --> 01:04:02,461
Find yourself as a five-year-old
kid, a six-year-old kid.
1564
01:04:02,485 --> 01:04:04,586
And look at that picture
that five or six-year-old,
1565
01:04:04,610 --> 01:04:06,686
and there's two things
I wanted to look for,
1566
01:04:06,710 --> 01:04:09,386
deservedness and innocence.
1567
01:04:09,410 --> 01:04:13,826
After years and years
of living in this world,
1568
01:04:13,850 --> 01:04:16,346
we tend to lose the innocence.
1569
01:04:16,370 --> 01:04:19,766
We tend to lose the
sense of deservedness.
1570
01:04:19,790 --> 01:04:22,976
We associate our deservedness
with our innocence.
1571
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,636
So can we associate deservedness
with the loss of innocence?
1572
01:04:26,660 --> 01:04:28,076
That's extremely important.
1573
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:30,706
And we forgive ourselves
for growing up.
1574
01:04:30,730 --> 01:04:33,626
To really overcome
dis-ease, we have
1575
01:04:33,650 --> 01:04:36,946
to be willing to embrace
and forgive ourselves
1576
01:04:36,970 --> 01:04:42,346
for being adults and to love
ourselves at a core level,
1577
01:04:42,370 --> 01:04:43,606
not at an ego level.
1578
01:04:43,630 --> 01:04:45,616
We don't want to love
ourselves conditionally.
1579
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:46,906
And I'm not talking
about loving yourself
1580
01:04:46,930 --> 01:04:48,106
because you won the lottery.
1581
01:04:48,130 --> 01:04:52,011
I'm talking about having a
core love of that child that
1582
01:04:52,035 --> 01:04:53,386
was five and six
years old that's
1583
01:04:53,410 --> 01:04:54,896
still living in your heart.
1584
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:59,146
He would do that work on
me to go in and really nurture
1585
01:04:59,170 --> 01:05:00,236
myself.
1586
01:05:00,260 --> 01:05:03,706
So I was able to reflect on
the kindness that I do have,
1587
01:05:03,730 --> 01:05:06,046
the tenderness, the love.
1588
01:05:06,070 --> 01:05:08,266
And all he wanted me to do
was, instead of putting it
1589
01:05:08,290 --> 01:05:11,586
all on the outside, was to take
it in and put it on the inside.
1590
01:05:11,610 --> 01:05:14,746
I got off the
cocaine, didn't drink.
1591
01:05:14,770 --> 01:05:18,376
But sugar was the
essence of an addiction
1592
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,326
that, again, I was a little kid.
1593
01:05:20,350 --> 01:05:21,346
I'm three years old.
1594
01:05:21,370 --> 01:05:22,366
I had a tooth pulled.
1595
01:05:22,390 --> 01:05:24,106
They gave me a lollipop.
1596
01:05:24,130 --> 01:05:24,981
I did something else.
1597
01:05:25,005 --> 01:05:25,782
I fell down.
1598
01:05:25,806 --> 01:05:26,986
A doctor gave me ice cream.
1599
01:05:27,010 --> 01:05:29,236
So for me, sugar was nurturing.
1600
01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,876
It was loving, and
little did I know what
1601
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:33,766
it was really doing to me also.
1602
01:05:33,790 --> 01:05:36,016
I was getting progressively
sick again and just
1603
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,606
filled with mucus,
to a point where
1604
01:05:37,630 --> 01:05:38,776
I thought I had pneumonia.
1605
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,946
It was horrible, and
I lived like that.
1606
01:05:40,970 --> 01:05:42,076
And I thought I was dying.
1607
01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:43,451
And he kept saying,
Diane, you've
1608
01:05:43,475 --> 01:05:44,884
got to give up the sugar.
1609
01:05:44,908 --> 01:05:45,926
You've got to give it up.
1610
01:05:45,950 --> 01:05:50,806
Addiction is
compensation for hurt.
1611
01:05:50,830 --> 01:05:55,186
I have a hole in my
heart that doesn't heal.
1612
01:05:55,210 --> 01:05:59,026
Addiction takes
sugar, love, money,
1613
01:05:59,050 --> 01:06:01,426
whatever from the
outside and attempts
1614
01:06:01,450 --> 01:06:04,696
to patch up that hole in
the heart, which lasts
1615
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:06,286
for a short period of time.
1616
01:06:06,310 --> 01:06:09,136
To heal the heart
from the inside out
1617
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,926
is to occupy your own heart
with your consciousness,
1618
01:06:12,950 --> 01:06:17,336
to venture and journey into your
own heart, to admit the pain,
1619
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,618
to acknowledge the pain,
to confront the pain,
1620
01:06:20,642 --> 01:06:25,276
to feel the pain
all the way through.
1621
01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:27,586
That pain transformed
things in me,
1622
01:06:27,610 --> 01:06:34,426
where I have been reconnecting
with letting go of the fight.
1623
01:06:34,450 --> 01:06:36,766
Some people can be
addicted to substances.
1624
01:06:36,790 --> 01:06:38,776
They can be addicted
to behaviors.
1625
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,026
I think control is one of
the most powerful addictions
1626
01:06:41,050 --> 01:06:42,027
that I see every day.
1627
01:06:42,051 --> 01:06:43,868
One of most powerful
healing agents
1628
01:06:43,892 --> 01:06:45,826
is when people finally
get clear about the fact
1629
01:06:45,850 --> 01:06:48,536
that, by letting go,
they support flow and not
1630
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:49,337
resistance.
1631
01:06:49,361 --> 01:06:50,476
I would cry a lot.
1632
01:06:50,500 --> 01:06:52,856
I would feel, and I
didn't even want to feel.
1633
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,026
I certainly didn't want to
cry in an office like that.
1634
01:06:56,050 --> 01:06:57,556
But that's his magic.
1635
01:06:57,580 --> 01:07:01,486
That's one of his magics that
he can just penetrate the heart.
1636
01:07:01,510 --> 01:07:07,736
And eventually, I had a very
profound spiritual experience.
1637
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,486
It just hit me between the
eyeballs to get on my knees
1638
01:07:10,510 --> 01:07:11,566
and ask God for help.
1639
01:07:11,590 --> 01:07:12,407
And I gave up sugar.
1640
01:07:12,431 --> 01:07:15,586
I haven't had sugar,
other than some fruit,
1641
01:07:15,610 --> 01:07:18,226
in eight or 10 years,
which is a miracle.
1642
01:07:18,250 --> 01:07:21,886
I knew I could go somewhere
where somebody unconditionally
1643
01:07:21,910 --> 01:07:26,236
cared about me and was willing
to hold the space until I
1644
01:07:26,260 --> 01:07:27,556
caught up with it.
1645
01:07:27,580 --> 01:07:29,536
If I didn't have Mark
Mincolla in my life,
1646
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,696
and I just went to a
psychiatrist, a regular one,
1647
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,426
or I went to a regular doctor...
1648
01:07:34,450 --> 01:07:35,476
Not putting them down.
1649
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:38,426
Everybody has their
purpose, but in my life,
1650
01:07:38,450 --> 01:07:41,070
I don't think I'd be here today.
1651
01:07:44,830 --> 01:07:49,876
We misidentify with
a persona, a mask.
1652
01:07:49,900 --> 01:07:55,096
The actors in ancient Greek
drama, or tragedy, or comedy,
1653
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,896
they were wearing masks.
1654
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,326
As an actor, we wear a mask.
1655
01:07:59,350 --> 01:08:02,116
Let me propose that,
as human beings,
1656
01:08:02,140 --> 01:08:06,316
we are aware what is
known as human nature.
1657
01:08:06,340 --> 01:08:08,686
It's a mask.
1658
01:08:08,710 --> 01:08:12,406
When you take it off,
that mask, what is behind?
1659
01:08:12,430 --> 01:08:14,656
We're programmed in this
culture and in the Western
1660
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:18,886
world to believe that self
is a personality with an ego.
1661
01:08:18,910 --> 01:08:22,066
And self is all
about value that has
1662
01:08:22,090 --> 01:08:24,915
to do with performance at a
certain level, I guess I'd say.
1663
01:08:24,939 --> 01:08:27,236
And having a doctoral
degree in health,
1664
01:08:27,260 --> 01:08:29,991
all these things make me
more attractive to myself.
1665
01:08:30,015 --> 01:08:31,366
But if I don't
have those things,
1666
01:08:31,390 --> 01:08:32,824
or if I lose those
things, then I'm
1667
01:08:32,848 --> 01:08:37,051
certainly not worth my own
love, and attention, and care.
1668
01:08:37,075 --> 01:08:38,176
And I'm not feeling loving.
1669
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:39,218
I'm not feeling complete.
1670
01:08:39,242 --> 01:08:41,045
I'm not feeling whole.
1671
01:08:41,069 --> 01:08:43,996
So I think it starts with a
re-identification of self,
1672
01:08:44,020 --> 01:08:46,396
not as an ego, not
as a personality,
1673
01:08:46,420 --> 01:08:49,136
not as a cellular
being but as a soul.
1674
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,476
It's much easier to love
a soul than it is an ego.
1675
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:54,476
A lot of people that I
counsel get in their own way
1676
01:08:54,500 --> 01:08:55,755
and don't really know it.
1677
01:08:55,779 --> 01:08:57,646
They're not totally
aware of it, but there's
1678
01:08:57,670 --> 01:08:58,906
a lack of faith in self.
1679
01:08:58,930 --> 01:09:02,026
There's a lack of love in
self, a lack of belief in self,
1680
01:09:02,050 --> 01:09:04,286
a lack of willingness
to accept power.
1681
01:09:04,310 --> 01:09:05,536
It kind of intimidates people.
1682
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:06,716
Little old me having power?
1683
01:09:06,740 --> 01:09:08,474
I don't know if I trust that.
1684
01:09:08,498 --> 01:09:09,766
I don't know if I deserve that.
1685
01:09:09,790 --> 01:09:11,866
The fundamental
thing that, really,
1686
01:09:11,890 --> 01:09:15,646
all healers say that really is
the common denominator of what
1687
01:09:15,670 --> 01:09:17,205
healing is, it's
not about curing.
1688
01:09:17,229 --> 01:09:19,080
It's not about ridding
ourselves of something
1689
01:09:19,104 --> 01:09:20,176
that we don't want.
1690
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:24,076
It's turning towards that which
causes us suffering and holding
1691
01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:25,580
it in a space of love.
1692
01:09:25,604 --> 01:09:26,955
And what they're
doing is helping
1693
01:09:26,979 --> 01:09:29,446
us open to that space of love.
1694
01:09:29,470 --> 01:09:33,226
And fundamentally, it's
for us to love ourselves.
1695
01:09:33,250 --> 01:09:35,176
Because everything
in the outside world
1696
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,846
is a reflection of
our inside world.
1697
01:09:37,870 --> 01:09:40,426
Healing in part on the
level of the mind is to be able
1698
01:09:40,450 --> 01:09:43,906
to have a deeper understanding
of the expansiveness of our own
1699
01:09:43,930 --> 01:09:45,176
nature.
1700
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:49,005
There's a field of what's called
transpersonal psychology, which
1701
01:09:49,029 --> 01:09:52,726
endeavors to understand the
different features and times
1702
01:09:52,750 --> 01:09:54,886
when that phenomenon can occur.
1703
01:09:54,910 --> 01:09:57,946
If a person has this belief
that they are their thoughts
1704
01:09:57,970 --> 01:10:00,436
or some specifics of
their environment,
1705
01:10:00,460 --> 01:10:03,106
and something happens, whether
it's a beautiful sunset,
1706
01:10:03,130 --> 01:10:05,776
for example, where they
just go a little bit
1707
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,226
beyond that current identity
they believe themselves to be.
1708
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:10,741
And they find there's something.
1709
01:10:10,765 --> 01:10:13,066
They're a little bigger,
or they encompass more
1710
01:10:13,090 --> 01:10:14,176
than they thought.
1711
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,216
That's a transpersonal
phenomenon as it's called.
1712
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,446
And so many realms of
healing, I believe,
1713
01:10:20,470 --> 01:10:22,846
attempt to induce these effects.
1714
01:10:22,870 --> 01:10:25,096
We need to understand
that we're capable of tapping
1715
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,596
into an inner self.
1716
01:10:26,620 --> 01:10:30,176
It's a higher self
emanating from the soul
1717
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,886
self, a higher self more than
capable of performing miracles.
1718
01:10:33,910 --> 01:10:37,666
What is that
invisible, formless,
1719
01:10:37,690 --> 01:10:45,690
infinite entity that knows
itself as the experience that
1720
01:10:46,730 --> 01:10:49,766
we call the visible
or the material?
1721
01:10:49,790 --> 01:10:51,086
What is that?
1722
01:10:51,110 --> 01:10:52,886
And do you know it?
1723
01:10:52,910 --> 01:10:56,426
Do you know who or what you are?
1724
01:10:56,450 --> 01:11:00,096
At the ego level,
there's separation.
1725
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,046
There's compartmentalization.
1726
01:11:02,070 --> 01:11:05,496
It's a super conscious higher
level, the Atman level,
1727
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:06,966
the Brahman level.
1728
01:11:06,990 --> 01:11:08,406
There's only one.
1729
01:11:08,430 --> 01:11:09,546
There's no more than one.
1730
01:11:09,570 --> 01:11:12,696
Healing is the return of
the memory of wholeness from
1731
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:17,586
the fragmented mind to the
whole mind and finding out that
1732
01:11:17,610 --> 01:11:20,976
you're a timeless being having
a time bound experience.
1733
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,556
And the "Bhagavad Gita"
talks about the soul that is
1734
01:11:23,580 --> 01:11:24,671
impervious.
1735
01:11:24,695 --> 01:11:25,796
The arrows can't pierce it.
1736
01:11:25,820 --> 01:11:26,916
The swords can't pierce it.
1737
01:11:26,940 --> 01:11:27,817
A spirit can be broken.
1738
01:11:27,841 --> 01:11:28,866
The heart can be broken.
1739
01:11:28,890 --> 01:11:29,767
Body can be broken.
1740
01:11:29,791 --> 01:11:31,236
The mind can be broken.
1741
01:11:31,260 --> 01:11:32,310
The soul can't be broken.
1742
01:11:36,370 --> 01:11:39,016
For four years, we
planned this documentary.
1743
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,056
And to my mind, we
were thinking in terms
1744
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,306
of bringing patients
in that have
1745
01:11:43,330 --> 01:11:45,844
gone through remarkable
miraculous recoveries.
1746
01:11:45,868 --> 01:11:47,386
I never dreamed for
a minute that I'd
1747
01:11:47,410 --> 01:11:48,946
be involved in that process.
1748
01:11:48,970 --> 01:11:52,726
Unexpectedly, I
contracted Lyme disease.
1749
01:11:52,750 --> 01:11:55,906
And lo and behold, it
just pulled the legs out
1750
01:11:55,930 --> 01:11:57,086
from under me.
1751
01:11:57,110 --> 01:11:58,246
I lost my balance.
1752
01:11:58,270 --> 01:11:59,926
I started to have tremors.
1753
01:11:59,950 --> 01:12:01,216
I lost my strength.
1754
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,006
The pain was just indescribable.
1755
01:12:04,030 --> 01:12:06,658
And it was so difficult
for me to contend with,
1756
01:12:06,682 --> 01:12:08,866
because it seemed to get
worse, and worse, and worse,
1757
01:12:08,890 --> 01:12:10,126
and worse.
1758
01:12:10,150 --> 01:12:12,676
And it was worsening
for four years.
1759
01:12:12,700 --> 01:12:15,231
So one night, I
fell, hit my head.
1760
01:12:15,255 --> 01:12:18,386
And I was on the floor for
14 hours unable to move.
1761
01:12:18,410 --> 01:12:19,756
I was paralyzed.
1762
01:12:19,780 --> 01:12:24,496
To be isolated in your own
mind not knowing to what extent
1763
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,276
you're paralyzed has a
way of just isolating you
1764
01:12:28,300 --> 01:12:29,566
within your own soul.
1765
01:12:29,590 --> 01:12:33,796
There's talk about meditation
being a process, where
1766
01:12:33,820 --> 01:12:40,376
you get into your core self in
the form of pure consciousness,
1767
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,426
awareness not thought.
1768
01:12:42,450 --> 01:12:45,106
When I say, my soul self,
I landed in this place
1769
01:12:45,130 --> 01:12:46,696
of pure awareness.
1770
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,396
I just wasn't able to
think in that place which
1771
01:12:49,420 --> 01:12:51,046
is exactly what I needed.
1772
01:12:51,070 --> 01:12:56,176
There's a point at which we
make a decision to live or die.
1773
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,936
It's where we can
cross over the line.
1774
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,156
I'm convinced that our
spirits can commit us
1775
01:13:01,180 --> 01:13:02,574
to the other side.
1776
01:13:02,598 --> 01:13:04,366
And at that point, I
had to walk to the end
1777
01:13:04,390 --> 01:13:09,174
of my life in my mind and see
who I was and what I wanted.
1778
01:13:09,198 --> 01:13:10,966
So I had to make a
decision as to whether I
1779
01:13:10,990 --> 01:13:12,976
was willful about
living or willful
1780
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,426
about not living anymore.
1781
01:13:14,450 --> 01:13:17,176
I went to the edge of that
cliff, and I came back.
1782
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,044
And I finally was
rescued off the floor.
1783
01:13:20,068 --> 01:13:21,586
There was a 10 day
period where I was
1784
01:13:21,610 --> 01:13:22,756
unable to walk, unable to move.
1785
01:13:22,780 --> 01:13:24,286
I had to be carried
to the bathroom,
1786
01:13:24,310 --> 01:13:26,176
because I didn't know that
I'd ever get my walking back.
1787
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:27,968
I never knew that I'd
get my strength back.
1788
01:13:27,992 --> 01:13:31,906
I thought I was permanently,
perhaps, permanently paralyzed.
1789
01:13:31,930 --> 01:13:34,444
And that's a hell to live
through, not knowing.
1790
01:13:34,468 --> 01:13:35,986
So I finally had
gone to the hospital
1791
01:13:36,010 --> 01:13:37,636
and spent four
days in a hospital
1792
01:13:37,660 --> 01:13:39,256
and then a week in a rehab.
1793
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:40,037
They weren't sure
that I was going
1794
01:13:40,061 --> 01:13:41,176
to be able to walk either.
1795
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,666
Their determination was I
wasn't going to get better.
1796
01:13:43,690 --> 01:13:47,056
I was going to stay the same
or get worse progressively.
1797
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,966
My first week in the rehab
hospital, I was in the gym
1798
01:13:49,990 --> 01:13:53,236
every day walking
with walkers, doing
1799
01:13:53,260 --> 01:13:54,849
the exercises I was given.
1800
01:13:54,873 --> 01:13:57,016
And they were shocked at
how much time I spent there
1801
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,206
and how hard I pushed.
1802
01:13:59,230 --> 01:14:02,426
I was determined to
create my healing,
1803
01:14:02,450 --> 01:14:06,136
to energetically impose
the most powerful energy
1804
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,276
that I could to heal.
1805
01:14:07,300 --> 01:14:09,536
To me, everything is energy.
1806
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:10,696
Energy is about frequency.
1807
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:11,926
It's about vibration.
1808
01:14:11,950 --> 01:14:14,596
In the truest sense,
I believe that disease
1809
01:14:14,620 --> 01:14:16,396
begins with dis-ease.
1810
01:14:16,420 --> 01:14:18,196
The dis-ease in my
life started long
1811
01:14:18,220 --> 01:14:20,176
before the symptoms
of Lyme disease.
1812
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,426
And dis-ease begins
with a certain level
1813
01:14:22,450 --> 01:14:24,226
of self ignorance.
1814
01:14:24,250 --> 01:14:27,406
There's a place deep within
that has to be connected with,
1815
01:14:27,430 --> 01:14:30,816
that keeps us well, that
keeps us from being dis-eased.
1816
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,256
And I found that place
on the bathroom floor
1817
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,146
after about 14 hours.
1818
01:14:35,170 --> 01:14:39,616
Embracing miracles
automatically insinuates
1819
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,623
that you have to embrace the
difficulty, the sickness,
1820
01:14:42,647 --> 01:14:44,206
the stress, the thing
that brought you
1821
01:14:44,230 --> 01:14:45,676
to a potential miracle.
1822
01:14:45,700 --> 01:14:47,806
Holism is always
happening, where
1823
01:14:47,830 --> 01:14:50,746
I was exposed to both sides
of the universal process, yin
1824
01:14:50,770 --> 01:14:53,536
and yang, dark and
light, pain and joy.
1825
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,146
We need to embrace the
whole, and make a decision
1826
01:14:56,170 --> 01:15:00,759
to embrace wholeness as it
is, not as we'd like it to be.
1827
01:15:00,783 --> 01:15:02,176
Part of my miracle
recovery is all
1828
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:06,676
about being unified between mind
and body, coming from the soul
1829
01:15:06,700 --> 01:15:09,256
and merging all parts
of self and unity.
1830
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,606
I don't do anything
against myself anymore.
1831
01:15:11,630 --> 01:15:14,396
Everything has to
happen in flow.
1832
01:15:14,420 --> 01:15:16,396
There's a certain level
of BS that we go through
1833
01:15:16,420 --> 01:15:18,009
in this world.
1834
01:15:18,033 --> 01:15:19,450
I had a lot less
of that going on.
1835
01:15:26,370 --> 01:15:28,356
Consciousness
interacts with everything,
1836
01:15:28,380 --> 01:15:30,936
because consciousness
is everything.
1837
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:34,116
Because its very
nature used to create.
1838
01:15:34,140 --> 01:15:37,006
We fall into the
trap, our own trap.
1839
01:15:37,030 --> 01:15:38,056
It is our own trap.
1840
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:39,406
I want to emphasize that.
1841
01:15:39,430 --> 01:15:40,786
People say, no,
it's not my trap.
1842
01:15:40,810 --> 01:15:41,117
You know?
1843
01:15:41,141 --> 01:15:42,136
Somebody created for me.
1844
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:43,046
My parents created.
1845
01:15:43,070 --> 01:15:43,847
OK.
1846
01:15:43,871 --> 01:15:46,076
Maybe somebody created for you.
1847
01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:48,196
But now, who are you?
1848
01:15:48,220 --> 01:15:51,136
You're repeating the
trap of somebody,
1849
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,806
and ultimately, it
is your own trap.
1850
01:15:53,830 --> 01:15:56,806
You are trapped
by your own mind.
1851
01:15:56,830 --> 01:15:59,896
The baseline of our
embracing of a reality,
1852
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:02,626
at a cultural level, comes
from our downloading,
1853
01:16:02,650 --> 01:16:03,527
our programming.
1854
01:16:03,551 --> 01:16:04,906
I'm not strong enough
to make a miracle.
1855
01:16:04,930 --> 01:16:06,693
I'm not powerful enough
to make a miracle.
1856
01:16:06,717 --> 01:16:08,026
Somebody else can make miracles.
1857
01:16:08,050 --> 01:16:08,967
I can't.
1858
01:16:08,991 --> 01:16:10,516
The Buddha can do that.
1859
01:16:10,540 --> 01:16:11,596
Jesus can do that.
1860
01:16:11,620 --> 01:16:12,537
Muhammad can do that.
1861
01:16:12,561 --> 01:16:14,326
I can't do that.
1862
01:16:14,350 --> 01:16:16,776
That's a mistake.
1863
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,516
That's a big mistake.
1864
01:16:18,540 --> 01:16:20,586
Making a miracle
is a possibility,
1865
01:16:20,610 --> 01:16:22,386
but it begins with seeing it.
1866
01:16:22,410 --> 01:16:26,136
It begins with accepting the
possibility of being very real.
1867
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,796
One of the aspects of
that formless, nonlocal,
1868
01:16:29,820 --> 01:16:36,516
infinite being is that it can
modify itself as intention.
1869
01:16:36,540 --> 01:16:41,746
So intention is inherent
in consciousness.
1870
01:16:41,770 --> 01:16:43,774
So as a culture,
we're at a place.
1871
01:16:43,798 --> 01:16:45,816
We've arrived at this
place, where we desperately
1872
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,756
need to think in terms
of possibilities,
1873
01:16:48,780 --> 01:16:51,516
infinite possibilities,
if you will.
1874
01:16:51,540 --> 01:16:53,796
We need to think in
terms of reformatting
1875
01:16:53,820 --> 01:16:59,056
our ethos in a way that is
not skeptical or doubtful
1876
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,566
but rather, expectancy orientated.
1877
01:17:01,590 --> 01:17:04,208
We're the creators of miracles.
1878
01:17:04,232 --> 01:17:06,666
I think, it's not a matter of
waiting for miracles anymore.
1879
01:17:06,690 --> 01:17:08,291
It's a matter of
rolling up our sleeves
1880
01:17:08,315 --> 01:17:10,806
and taking up the
creatorship of miracles.
1881
01:17:10,830 --> 01:17:13,896
Consciousness is creating
our life experiences.
1882
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:17,766
And biology now demonstrates it
at the level of our experiences
1883
01:17:17,790 --> 01:17:19,596
are manifest by this
nervous system, which
1884
01:17:19,620 --> 01:17:21,116
are broadcasting
it into the field,
1885
01:17:21,140 --> 01:17:22,746
affecting what's
going on outside,
1886
01:17:22,770 --> 01:17:24,816
affecting what's going
on on the inside.
1887
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,766
Change your thoughts,
you change your biology.
1888
01:17:26,790 --> 01:17:29,436
Change your thoughts, you
change the world you live in.
1889
01:17:29,460 --> 01:17:33,396
Sickness, illness,
disease, long term fights,
1890
01:17:33,420 --> 01:17:36,516
long term stress, that
produces really negative walls
1891
01:17:36,540 --> 01:17:37,507
of energy.
1892
01:17:37,531 --> 01:17:38,856
And they get thicker every day.
1893
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,266
They don't go away.
1894
01:17:40,290 --> 01:17:42,966
You're just sucking
it up, showing up
1895
01:17:42,990 --> 01:17:44,506
for another day of life.
1896
01:17:44,530 --> 01:17:46,716
And it's another
day of unhappiness.
1897
01:17:46,740 --> 01:17:50,016
People have such thick
blocked energy fields
1898
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,766
to convince them that they have
the power, and the potential,
1899
01:17:53,790 --> 01:17:56,886
and the likelihood,
the certainty even,
1900
01:17:56,910 --> 01:17:59,736
of healing, of breaking
through the threshold,
1901
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:03,816
putting a slit in this wall, and
splitting it apart, and walking
1902
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:04,636
through it.
1903
01:18:04,660 --> 01:18:05,437
Yeah.
1904
01:18:05,461 --> 01:18:07,446
I can't cross the
threshold, because I
1905
01:18:07,470 --> 01:18:08,546
don't have enough money.
1906
01:18:08,570 --> 01:18:10,296
I don't have enough
money to get divorced.
1907
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,754
I don't have enough money to
buy health food, organic food.
1908
01:18:12,778 --> 01:18:15,486
I don't have enough money,
strength, and time in my life.
1909
01:18:15,510 --> 01:18:18,036
I'm too old, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
1910
01:18:18,060 --> 01:18:21,006
There's never an excuse,
and there's never
1911
01:18:21,030 --> 01:18:24,516
anything in the way,
in your way, but you.
1912
01:18:24,540 --> 01:18:26,976
And to take that
step to say, I'm
1913
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,956
breaking through, no ifs,
ands, or buts, no conditions.
1914
01:18:31,980 --> 01:18:33,253
No conditions.
1915
01:18:33,277 --> 01:18:35,586
We're going to wait until
it's sunny for this to happen.
1916
01:18:35,610 --> 01:18:36,652
We're doing it right now.
1917
01:18:40,620 --> 01:18:45,096
We're trying to help bring
medicine back to its roots
1918
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,636
and medical roots prior to
the advent of what we call
1919
01:18:48,660 --> 01:18:51,996
the biomedical model in the
West or allopathic medicine.
1920
01:18:52,020 --> 01:18:55,356
We're trying to cultivate the
understanding of the importance
1921
01:18:55,380 --> 01:18:57,816
of those elements
of the whole person
1922
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,966
and to bring them into the
practice fully of medicine.
1923
01:19:00,990 --> 01:19:02,526
And the importance
of the emotions,
1924
01:19:02,550 --> 01:19:05,976
the importance of the psyche,
the importance of recognizing
1925
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:07,416
the spiritual
nature that can say,
1926
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:09,846
consciousness in
nature of the person.
1927
01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:12,336
That is when healing can occur.
1928
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:13,936
East is east,
and west is west.
1929
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,606
We've learned about
material life here,
1930
01:19:15,630 --> 01:19:18,048
and they learned about
energetic life over there.
1931
01:19:18,072 --> 01:19:19,506
I think it's time
we bridge the two
1932
01:19:19,530 --> 01:19:21,796
and actually started to
make a wholeness out it.
1933
01:19:21,820 --> 01:19:24,426
And I think it's all about
the holism of life, not
1934
01:19:24,450 --> 01:19:25,806
the compartmentalism.
1935
01:19:25,830 --> 01:19:29,886
When we move from the
model of pathogenesis, OK?
1936
01:19:29,910 --> 01:19:33,516
The study of disease and getting
rid of disease to a model
1937
01:19:33,540 --> 01:19:36,846
of salutogenesis, a model
of healing and harmony,
1938
01:19:36,870 --> 01:19:39,746
where we recognize there's
a disharmony within us.
1939
01:19:39,770 --> 01:19:41,946
So instead of trying
to get rid of our pain,
1940
01:19:41,970 --> 01:19:44,526
or get rid of our
depression, or our anxiety,
1941
01:19:44,550 --> 01:19:46,086
we're actually
looking towards it.
1942
01:19:46,110 --> 01:19:48,186
And we're saying, what's here?
1943
01:19:48,210 --> 01:19:49,896
Can I hold this
space for a minute
1944
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,476
and allow what needs
to come up to come up?
1945
01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:56,026
So that it can transform
into the next step.
1946
01:19:56,050 --> 01:19:57,636
And that's where
harmony is restored.
1947
01:19:57,660 --> 01:20:00,396
And that's how healing
really is happening.
1948
01:20:00,420 --> 01:20:02,986
Healing is a unique process.
1949
01:20:03,010 --> 01:20:06,126
And I want to say that
healers are everywhere.
1950
01:20:06,150 --> 01:20:07,376
There's a healer in everybody.
1951
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,936
There's a healer
within all of us.
1952
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,916
So to address each other
from a deeper place,
1953
01:20:14,940 --> 01:20:18,961
to address our own lives
from a different place
1954
01:20:18,985 --> 01:20:20,250
is the way to heal the planet.
1955
01:20:53,281 --> 01:20:57,898
You, you are
the love of thousands.
1956
01:21:01,090 --> 01:21:05,214
You are the love of thousands.
1957
01:21:05,238 --> 01:21:13,238
Oh, Nana, remember more each
day who you've always been.
1958
01:21:19,250 --> 01:21:27,250
Songs of resilience come
coursing through your veins.
1959
01:21:28,970 --> 01:21:36,970
You're held alive
in this very moment.
1960
01:21:41,330 --> 01:21:49,330
I carry the fragrance
of your memory.
