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. 156200
