First, 4 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask God for a little guidance today 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: so I can be as useful as possible and as 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: helpful as possible to all of you, because that is 7 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: my goal today. I've gone through a lot of stuff 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: health wise in the last seven years along with my 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: mom and previously my entire life with my dad as 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: a Type one diabetics, so I think that there's a 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that I can probably share that could 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: be helpful. I also host my own health and wellness 13 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: podcast called Heel Squad that has been a wonderful training 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: ground for me because I have experts from all over 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: the world coming in sharing their insights, sharing their her 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: incredible wisdom and information, and it's you know, saved my 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: life on many occasions, along with my moms and so 18 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: many others. So hopefully I can do Shannon proud today 19 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: and all of you proud. I literally cannot believe that 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm on this show right now without Shannon, and that 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: she is no longer with us in the physical I 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: watched her growing up on nine oh two and oh 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: and of course that was my favorite show at the time, 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: and it's just a crazy world, you know. One day 25 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: we're here, one day we're not. I remember she was 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: getting treatments with my mom's radiologist, doctor Murhatti, and I 27 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: was just praying for her. But you know, God has 28 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: a plan for all of us, and obviously this was 29 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: his plan. So I am happy to be with you 30 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: guys today. I think first I'll kind of give you 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: a little background on what's gone on with me, so 32 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: you understand some of the things that I'm going to 33 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: share with you that will hopefully help you in your 34 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: healing journeys, because I know a lot of you are 35 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: on that journey. First, I grew up with my Type 36 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: one diabetic dad. My parents were immigrants from Greece, and 37 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: my mom and dad had a lot of jobs, but 38 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: cleaning nightclubs was the biggest one because they didn't speak 39 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: the language and it was just the easiest thing that 40 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: they could do, and they couldn't afford babysitters. So my 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: brother and I used to go and from the time 42 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: we could hold them up or a broom, we would 43 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: be working with them and helping to get done, because 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: the faster we would get done, the faster we could 45 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: go to the next place in the next place, and 46 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: then that meant the faster we could get home, or 47 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: the faster we could get to my cousin's house to 48 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: actually enjoy life. But throughout the process, because my dad 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: did such manual labor, and because of the language barrier, 50 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: and because of the financial situation and the times at 51 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: the time, type one diabetes was a lot more life 52 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: and death. Thirty years ago, there was no CGM monitors, 53 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: there were no pumps, there were none of that. So 54 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: my dad, with the manual labor, his blood suggers would 55 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: drop on the regular NonStop, and if he wasn't with 56 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: us and didn't show up at home at the time 57 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: we expected him, my mom would start to fret and 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: start calling hospitals looking for him. She'd call police stations 59 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: because sometimes when he would have a diabetic episode, people 60 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to interpret that it was that. They 61 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: would think he was just this wild man who was 62 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: maybe drunk. So we grew up in a lot of 63 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: fight or flight. My mom and I really grew up 64 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: learning how to be in tune. We're both very intuitive. 65 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Whether that was cultivated by need or granted by God, 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. But we learned learned to be so 67 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: in touch with him that we knew, whether we were 68 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: three thousand miles away from him or twenty miles away, 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: that he wasn't okay. It was just how do we 70 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: find him and then how do we revive him? So 71 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: I remember one time I was in school and I 72 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: just felt the tug in my heart and I knew 73 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: he wasn't okay. I ran home and I found him 74 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: collapsed in the bathroom and had to bring him back. 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: And that just was a normal thing. We knew the 76 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: firefighters by first name, and the ambulance burgers. They were 77 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: always at our house. And you know, it's no coincidence now, 78 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: knowing what I know, that my mom got a thyroid condition, 79 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: it's no coincidence that I later got hashimotos. And you know, 80 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: my parents, you know, ate very healthy, we very healthy, 81 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: but she did get a thyroid condition, and my dad 82 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: was Type one diabetic, and you know, those were all 83 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: these things in the back of my head. But once 84 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: my career started taking off, I started eating fast food, 85 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: and you know, working eighteen hour days, seven days a week, 86 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: and career, career, career and success, success, success, and make money, 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: and all of that kind of took front seat. And 88 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, I always say, that's kind of how we're trained. 89 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: We're trained from a young age to get good grades, succeed, 90 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: go to a great college, succeed, make a lot of money, 91 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: and then sometimes after that it's like marriage and kids 92 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: and then health not a peep. No one teaches us 93 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: how to be healthy. No one teaches us the foundational 94 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: kind of rules of health that were set out by 95 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: nature and by God. And so it's it's challenging in 96 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: this climate to even understand health until it happens to you. 97 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: And I always say it's only a matter of time. 98 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: No one really evades the health thing. There's always going 99 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: to be something. Now what that something's going to be 100 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: is the question. So in twenty sixteen, my mom that 101 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: whole year wasn't feeling well. Something was wrong, we didn't 102 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: know what it was, and she was finally diagnosed with 103 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: a malignant brain tumor in September twenty sixteen. It was 104 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: called leoblastoma Dudley's cancer, stage four brain cancer shook our 105 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: whole family, but I was determined to keep her alive. 106 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: So I threw the ferocity that I had put behind 107 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: my career into her. And at the same time, I 108 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: had to make sure I maintained all of my jobs 109 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: in an even higher level so no one thought I 110 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: was slipping. So, whether it was e news or serious excem, 111 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: I was overperforming to make sure that they didn't think 112 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: that I was not focused. And so I started having 113 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: symptoms myself. My head's my head was exploding. I was 114 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: needing multiple coffees to get through the day. I started 115 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: learning my speech, and then I got this ear pain 116 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: in my right ear. The finally sent me to the 117 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: doctor because I thought I must have an ear infection. 118 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: This is crazy. Thirty eight or whatever. I was thirty 119 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: eight or thirty nine, and when I went, mind you, 120 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: this is months after, He's like, you don't have an 121 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: ear infection. What else are you feeling? So I told 122 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: him the symptoms that I just laid out to you guys, 123 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: and he said, I don't think this is oh oh. 124 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: So I said, uh, I'm feeling you know, headaches, this 125 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 1: not the other thing. And I go, oh my god, 126 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: and he goes what I go. I think I have 127 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: a brain tumor like my mom. Where that came from, 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: I have no idea, but flash forward to get an 129 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: MRI and I too have a brain tumor. Months later, 130 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm having brain surgery at Cedar SINAI, the same room 131 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: as my mom, by the same doctor, the brilliant doctor 132 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Keith Black. Mine was benign and it was a long surgery. 133 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: It was long, I don't know, at least six and 134 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: a half hours, and luckily I got through that, and 135 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: then the rest of the health crises kind of followed after. 136 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: So two years ago, I was feeling some stuff. I 137 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: was bloated and not feeling right my stomach, and I 138 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: kept searching for answers. Now at this point, I've been 139 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: hosting my own podcast, Heel Squad for a couple of 140 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: years because when my mom was diagnosed, I wanted to 141 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: find answers, and then I needed answers, So I started 142 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: bringing in all these healers and practitioners and people with 143 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: other thoughts and modalities to help us. And so, you know, 144 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: my mom because of all of this, I say so 145 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: first as God. Second was her amazing outlook and positivity. 146 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: Third was all the alternative things that we did to 147 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: counter the effects of the treatments on the western side. 148 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: So I love Eastmeats West. I think that it's too 149 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: scary to not do the West, and so I mean, 150 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: I'm learning more and more and more now, but at 151 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: the time, I was like, we're going to do East 152 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: meats West, and I know that a body that's ravaged 153 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: by cancer is already so weak. So my spidey sense said, well, 154 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to counter the negative effects of that 155 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: with some optimization of the immune system. So I researched 156 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: this facility in Mexico called Baja Medgate run by Jennifer 157 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Mealy who got cancer taking care of her mom with cancer, 158 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: so she knew that the caretaker needed as much attention 159 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: as the patient. And my mom went down there and 160 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: we did two weeks of you know, whether it was 161 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: high dose vitamin sea drips, clean food while she was there, 162 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: and coffee and IMA's and they did this whole protocol. 163 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: All of that really helped her a lot with the 164 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: chemo fog as well. And we did the ketogenic diet. 165 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: They kind of laughed at me when I proposed it, 166 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: and my mom we did a modified ketodiet because I 167 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: didn't like the idea of a long term, high fat 168 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: content diet and I wanted my mom to live long term. 169 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: So I said, Mom, listen, we're going to cut sugar, 170 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: but you can have cream and cheeses and you know 171 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: all the fat you want bacon, And so we did 172 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: that and we did some supplements. I have her whole 173 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: journey on my show, and if you go into heal 174 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: squad dot com, you can look up the different health 175 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: journeys and find all of those interviews I did back 176 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen through twenty twenty before she passed. If you 177 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: guys want more information, that doctor MURHATI funny enough. Going 178 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: back to Shannon, he pulled me aside once and he said, 179 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: I one hundred percent believe that your mom's success is 180 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: due to what you guys have been doing in Mexico, 181 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: because my mom went back again. And so that made 182 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: me feel really, really good, and I knew it was helpful. 183 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: So my mom eventually got COVID, and while she was 184 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: in the hospital with COVID, I knew mentally I could 185 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: lose her. So I had an idea where nobody was 186 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: allowed to visit. As you know, at the time in hospitals. 187 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: I put her phone on a little phone stand my 188 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: husband made with a magnet before war, making them, and 189 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: I gave it to the hospital. I said, plug the 190 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: sin and let's keep her on FaceTime with me so 191 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: I can keep talking to her. So what happened was 192 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: I was able to see that people weren't going to 193 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: see her. Doctors weren't going to see her. Only nurses. 194 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: And two days after she was admitted with COVID and 195 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: was very serious. I said, oh, she's responsive now, and 196 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: we're you know, what do they say, not dismissing her, 197 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: but releasing her? And I said, wait, you're releasing a 198 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: COVID patient with stage four brain cancer. To me, what 199 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? I don't know how to 200 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: do this. I can't even go into her room to 201 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: help her. No, No, she's responsive now. I'm like, that's 202 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: funny because I've never seen her be responsive. I said, 203 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: and I've never met you, And she's like, excuse me. 204 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: I go, well, I've been on twenty four hour FaceTime 205 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: with her. She's been in the shower with me, she's 206 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: been in the car with me, she's been in bed 207 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: with me. I've never left her side and I've never 208 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: met you, and the doctor was in shock. I said, 209 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: I've met the nurses, I know them all by name, 210 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't know you. And so at that moment I 211 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: knew I had to get her out of there. So 212 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: I transferred her to Cedar Sinai and at that point 213 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: she was in great hands, great care, and I continued 214 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: to sing to her, to talk to her. Sometimes it 215 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: would take hours, guys, to get her to respond back. 216 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: But my whole goal was keep her brain fresh. And 217 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: eventually she was discharged to me in LA and we 218 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: got a brain scan and we saw that in the 219 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: time she had COVID. Yes, we got her out. She 220 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: survived COVID. The brain tumor without the treatment's quadrupled in size. 221 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: And this was it. So a new friend I just met, 222 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: I'm incidentally at lunch with him, and I said, yeah, 223 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: I got a research into some kind of flight to 224 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: get my mom back because she's bedridden and I need 225 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: to get her home so she can have safe passage 226 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: with her family. And he was like, well, why don't 227 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: you just take my plane me And while guys, I 228 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: had no idea he even had a plane. This is 229 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: just God, and I go what and go I can't 230 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: do that. So then later the next that next day, 231 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: my friend calls me. She's like, are you going to 232 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: do it? Are you going to take him up on it? 233 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: And I go, no, I can't do that. Are you crazy? 234 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't even know him, like I just did his 235 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: podcast once and she's like, Marie, he's serious. His name 236 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: is Edma led Guys, he's a wonderful person. And he 237 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: gave me his plane and I flew my mom home safely. 238 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: And that was January, oh gosh, twenty twenty one, and 239 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: I learned so much in the caretaking journey because I 240 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: think it was later that month her primary care physician 241 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: out here was like she came to visit her and 242 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: she loved her, so she was, you know, I think 243 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: just kind of jumping into conclusion. She's like, your mother 244 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: is an organ failure, multiple organ failure. She's dying. Let 245 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: her die. Just let her die. I go, whoa, whoa, whoa? 246 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: Who do you think you are telling me to let 247 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: her die? I'm not in charge here, God's in charge. 248 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to do everything I can and make her 249 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: journey comfortable and heal whatever I can heal in the interim. 250 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: If she's got anything going on, I'm fixing it, and 251 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: then God will take her when it's time. So I 252 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: had to. I was like, you know, why don't we 253 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: just get some evidence of this. Let's get some blood work. 254 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: By the way, he learned a lot about hospice. They 255 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: apparently get budgets and whatever they don't spend they get 256 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: to keep, so they didn't want to spend on getting 257 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: blood work done from my mom. I'm grateful that I 258 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: was able to do it on my own. And what 259 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: did it reveal. Oh, my mom's blood was like a 260 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: twenty five healthy year old person, So I guess she 261 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: wasn't a multiple organ failure and I wasn't gonna morpho out. 262 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: So it was a long journey and I just kept 263 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: saying to everybody, we don't know how this is going 264 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: to end. We don't know if God's going to give 265 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: her a miracle and she's going to walk out. I'm 266 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: going to keep on keeping on with her everything that 267 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: I can. It was hard, it was long, and I 268 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: learned a lot of things like, oh my gosh, if 269 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: you have anybody in hospice listened to my episodes on 270 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: that because there's a company called Purewic for women. It's 271 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: an external female catheter that was life saving because the 272 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: problem when you have someone in bed is bed sores, 273 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: and so the ear mattresses will only do so much 274 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: if you're wedding diapers and not changing them fast enough. 275 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: So this was a game changer. But there's so many 276 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: other things that I learned along the way too that 277 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: I've shared there. So I just kept saying, Mom, you're 278 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: a miracle, and you've been a miracle. My mom lived 279 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: five years with stage four brain cancer, and I just 280 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, I just kept saying, 281 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: I want to believe in possibility, and I've led my 282 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: life like that. I'd rather believe in possibility than subscribe 283 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: to any diagnosis statistics or any Google and interpretation or 284 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: even doctor's interpretations. I want to believe in possibility because 285 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: I know miracles happen every single day. You read the 286 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: book Radical Remission, you see examples of it all the time. 287 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: Why can't you be that example? Why can't you be 288 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: that story? So I would say it to my mom, 289 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: we don't know how the story is going to end. 290 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: So eventually on Greek Easter, God took her on his 291 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: holiest day in the most peaceful ways, surrounded by all 292 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: of us. We felt our heart was going slow, brought 293 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: family in, we all hugged her. We all literally were 294 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: hanging over her bed. And she passed, and that's what 295 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: was meant to be, and so ugh it was obviously 296 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: really hard, but I knew that we did everything that 297 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: we could, and we did give her a safe passage. 298 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: And now she was with God and she was safe. 299 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: And I learned a tremendous amount about caretaking. I learned 300 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: so much about healing that helped me on my journey. 301 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: Because thereafter I'd gotten the COVID vaccines for my mom 302 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: and dad to protect them, I didn't want to. I 303 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: could feel my body screaming no, but I didn't listen. 304 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: And then soon after I got diagnosed with a pancreas 305 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: tumor called neuroendercontumor. Before that, I got diagnosed to type 306 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: one diabetes, which if you start to do the research, 307 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: you'll see that a lot of people after COVID got 308 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: type one or diabetes in general. Now we're hearing all 309 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: about the turboive cancers and so many other things, and 310 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: so I've had the brain tumor, the pancreas cancer, the 311 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: type one diabetes, a bunch of other things. Spots here, 312 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: spots there. Last year, they thought I had liver cancer. 313 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: So I went to the Equator and I did a 314 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: whole healing journey there. I have been learning so much 315 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: on my show that has saved my life. And Doctor Allison, 316 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: my natural path here in Connecticut, has been incredibly powerful 317 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: in my healing journey because she's really taught me about 318 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: nature and all of the elements of healing that we ignore. 319 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: Whether it's the sun, whether it's grounding, those things can 320 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: be really really powerful. And so everything I've been studying 321 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: about blue light, Like right now, I'm wearing my blue 322 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: light glasses. I see every sunrise and every sunset, and 323 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: I make sure that I'm grounding and all of those things. 324 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you when they thought I had liver cancer, 325 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't have this. I'm like, I 326 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: think this is just my body is not filtering things 327 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: out easily enough. So I'm going to go to the Equator. 328 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: From everything I've learned from this other doctor Cruz and 329 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: doctor Allison, I'm going to go create my own protocol. 330 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: And I did so for two and a half weeks, 331 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: I grounded, never wore shoes grounded. And we're only the 332 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: We're the only primates that have sweat glands in our 333 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: hands and feet. So when you ground you take in 334 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: negative electrons that go into your body and neutralize the 335 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: positive electrons. The positive is illness. So knowing that, I 336 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'll try it. Let's see if it works. 337 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I got every sunrise, I got that 338 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: sun on my skin, I got the sunset. I sweat 339 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: so I could help detalks. And grounding in the ocean 340 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: is really really powerful. It helps. So if you go 341 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: to the edge of the water and you put your 342 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: hands and feet there, you sit on your butt and 343 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: you put your hands and feet down, that's like supercharged. 344 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: So I did that and in two and a half weeks, 345 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: all the lesions in my liver shrunk and I was like, 346 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: holy shit, this works. So it's been a journey, and 347 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: it's been a journey of like lessening the toxin load, 348 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: which has helped me tremendously, helped me with fatigue, with pains, 349 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: with headaches and so many things. I really gone baby 350 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: stepping into the clean world where it's like clean skin products, 351 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: clean hair. I mean, if you think about it, your 352 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: skin is your largest organ Anything you put on your 353 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: skin goes in. So if you want to transition, they 354 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: give you like estrogen patches or whatever, and it helps 355 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: change that. So why would shampoo or anything else be 356 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: any different. Now, we're not going to be perfect. There 357 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: are going to be things that we're just not gonna 358 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: want to change. I get it, but we have to 359 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: lessen our loads a little bit. And so I've tried 360 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: to clean out my food, my products, my beauty products, 361 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: and it's made a big difference. I do my non 362 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: negotiables in the morning is I get my sun rise, 363 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: I get my Fascia release work done. So I have 364 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: this whole fashion release program that Lauren Russbroo taught me 365 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: on Heel Squad that has also been on my Instagram. 366 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: You can check it out. The Fascia stores everything and 367 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: and it's really really powerful and there's a whole list 368 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: of what it does there. I'll do ice face baths 369 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: at times. That's not just for vanity, it's actually really healing. 370 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: I do red light and meditation. So if you are 371 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: wanting to heal, who and you want to use your 372 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: brain in your mind. I've had mind blowing results with 373 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: doctor Joe Despenza's program. So he has a program called 374 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: the Formula, and it's of course you can take online. 375 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: Within three days, my anxiety completely went away. And I 376 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: never thought I could go to a meditation event. I 377 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: thought I'd rather gouge my eyeballs out, and I'm not 378 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: like I never could really figure out the meditation thing. 379 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: But with his program, oh my, it was life changing. 380 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: He teaches you that in order to heal, you have 381 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: to change you. Your personality creates your reality, and he 382 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: teaches you all of this, and it's unbelievable, scientifically backed, 383 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: scientifically studied and tested. He healed his spine with his 384 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: mind after a car wreck. And so basically, when I'm 385 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: doing these meditations, I create this movie in my mind 386 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: of what I want. I want doctor Black to tell 387 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: me the tumor is gone. I want doctor Allison to 388 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: tell me my A and C went from a ten 389 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: point six to a five point three. And I will 390 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: celebrate the victory of her telling me this as if 391 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: it's happening in real time and your body and your 392 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: brain don't know the difference between perception and reality. So 393 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: whatever you tell yourself is what your body and your 394 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: brain thinks is real. So I'm telling myself that I'm healed, 395 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: and guys, it would actually happen. I'd be in the 396 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: middle of my meditation, playing my movie and I'd hear 397 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: and see doctor Allison tell me your A and C 398 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 1: is a five point three. Holy shit. And then I 399 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, you told me that today. Oh, 400 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: oh my god, you told me that yesterday. And that 401 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: just kept happening. I had an allsion in my breast. 402 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: I was shrinking that that trunk. There's been so many 403 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: amazing health recoveries just by doing Doctor Joe. So I 404 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: always highly recommend that to people because it's a very 405 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: very accessible thing to do. If you're looking for something. 406 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: By the way, relaxing yoga Nidra is amazing. I love 407 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: yoga Nidra. You can go on YouTube, just YouTube Yoga 408 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: Nidra if you want something that's going to relax you 409 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: and recharge you in fifteen or twenty minutes. It's freaking amazing. 410 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: But this meditation thing is more than meditation. With Doctor Joe, 411 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: it changes your whole life. So he says at some point, 412 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: you'll feel like there's so much joy coming out of 413 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: you for no good reason. And I remember walking into 414 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: my kitchen like two months after doing this, and I 415 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: looked at Kevin, my husband, and I said, honey, I 416 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: could lift a car with my joy. I didn't even 417 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: know this joy existed. So that was really powerful in 418 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: my journey as well. And I think being open, you know, 419 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: what do you have to lose by trying a high 420 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: dose vitamin C drip? Obviously you have to do it 421 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: with somebody that you trust, who's going to test your 422 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: blood levels and make sure you're good. You know what 423 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: is I don't like hyper bearer chambers. It didn't feel 424 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: right to me. But there's a lot of stuff out 425 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: there that you can do. But definitely cutting sugar has 426 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: been a game changer, I think, and some of the 427 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: treatments that we did in Mexico, and so I guess 428 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: my goal today was just to kind of share what 429 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: we've done, what we've gone through, and to help you 430 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: believe impossibility and in those moments when life strikes, like 431 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: when they told me I had paint Grace cancer, I 432 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: was on my knees. I had just found out that 433 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: we were pregnant maybe two months before. I was carrying 434 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: with the surrogate, not me, because the brain tumor prohibited 435 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: me from getting pregnant. Just found out we had a 436 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: baby after ten years of trying, and I was like, 437 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: how could God finally bless me with a baby, and 438 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: now he's going to take me. This doesn't make any sense. 439 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: And the next morning after being diagnosed, I was just 440 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: in the fetal position and I was looking at my 441 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: church icons and I was like, this doesn't make sense. 442 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: And then finally I thought of something I'd learned on 443 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: my show and with my hypnotherapist, and she said, choose 444 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: wonder over worry. So I said, I wonder what it's 445 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: going to be like when the doctor calls me next 446 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: with good news, And guys, did I wonder what it's 447 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: going to be like when I get through surgery and 448 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm safe. I wonder what it's going to be like 449 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: my first pet scan comes back and I'm safe and 450 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm clear. It all kept happening, and so I think 451 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: we have choices in life, right, doesn't mean we're not 452 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: going to get knocked down. I was on the floor. 453 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, I can't even believe this 454 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: is happening. Oh my god, Oh my god, pancreast cancer 455 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: after a brain tumor crazy. But I remembered that it's 456 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: not my story to write. My story's in someone else's hands. 457 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: So all I can do is control how I react, 458 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: how I act, and my kind of belief system. And 459 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: so choosing wonder over worry was really helpful. And believing 460 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: impossibility and realizing that I don't want to create the 461 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: ending to the story because we are really powerful and 462 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: I know that. And so if I keep thinking I'm 463 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: going to die, and I keep thinking the worst is 464 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: going to happen, maybe I'll contribute that to that. I 465 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: don't know. But what's going to help me get through 466 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: this easier, what's gonna help me get through this easier 467 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: is believing in possibility and believing that I could be 468 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: a miracle. And so I chose that again. It takes 469 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: a minute, and I'm really grateful to be here with 470 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: you guys right now to be able to say that 471 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: I feel vibrant and healthy and doesn't mean that everything's 472 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: perfect under the hood. In fact, whenever I go to 473 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: the doctor and a new tech is looking up my records, 474 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: they're like this, isn't you right, And I'm like, oh, yeah, 475 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: that's me. But I'm thriving despite and I'm learning how 476 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: to heal, and I'm learning how to use what God 477 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: has provided, that red light from the sun in the morning, 478 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: the grounding from the earth, and so much more to 479 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: heal and to get back to nature. The problem is 480 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: is we've created our environment rather than living in the 481 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: real environment. And so I think that we have to 482 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: start focusing on that and realizing that the answers are 483 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: within us if we listen to ourselves, if we listen 484 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: to our inner guidance, And that's something that you really 485 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: have to cultivate, and I cultivated that. When my mom 486 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: was sick, I would ask God for help, and you 487 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: can ask whoever it is. You can ask Buddha, you 488 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: can ask whoever the universe. You know, God. I would 489 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: go ahead be like God, I don't know what to 490 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: do next with her, this is what's happening. I don't 491 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: know what to do, and the answer would come in 492 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: the craziest of ways. Asking for signs is something that 493 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: I was inadvertently doing. But then doctor Joe really taught 494 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: me in his courses to ask for signs and it's 495 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: so rewarding when you do it. But the answers always came. 496 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: I was never abandoned. I was always always guided and 497 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: assisted through the journey. And Saint Nctarios is our healing saint, 498 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: and Saint Nctarios will heal anybody of any faith that 499 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: believes in him. And by the way, there's an amazing 500 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: movie called Man of God that was made about his 501 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: journey and how slandered he was and the jealousy that 502 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: people had because he was so pure, and like you're 503 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: watching priests and patriarchs and bishops and stuff be jealous 504 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: of him. It's a really good movie. It's not just 505 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: like a church movie or anything. But I highly recommend it. 506 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: And I think I think that you know, we have 507 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: to believe, and so I will leave you with that. 508 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: I know the journeys are really really hard and really 509 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: really painful, but we have to believe in something greater. 510 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: And I hope that I hope that this was helpful, 511 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: and you know, just know that you're loved and you 512 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: are being guided and that your journey is yours for 513 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: a reason. And I always have believed the life is 514 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: happening for me not to me, and so when these 515 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: things happen, I say, Okay, well, maybe this is meant 516 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: to happen to me because I'm strong enough to handle it. 517 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it's happening to me because I can communicate to 518 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: other people and I can share, and I'm a problem 519 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: solver and I can figure it out, and so I 520 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: feel like that's what I'm trying to do with it 521 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: all is be able to share. But it's not just me, 522 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: it's you too. And if you can affect one person 523 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: with your journey and your story, you've done your job 524 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: and helped somebody else. So I tell people all the time, 525 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: share your stories and share your journey because people need 526 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: to hear it, and everyone's going to have a different way, 527 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: and everyone's going to have something that resonates with them 528 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: and doesn't resonate with them. So you got to listen 529 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: to you. You know yourself better than any doctor is 530 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: ever going to know you. And the second you start 531 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: to farm out your power outside of you, that's when 532 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: you start to lose. So listen to yourselves, listen, ask 533 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: for guidance, and at the end of the day, go 534 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: with what you feel is right for you. Don't be 535 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: afraid everything you want is on the other side of 536 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: fear is a great quote from Georgia Dare and so 537 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: ah with that, guys, I hope you have a wonderful, 538 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: blessed day, and I hope you guys will tune into 539 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: my new holiday movie get a good escape.
