00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:18,340 is that my life and the lives of the people that I work with 5 00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:22,630 represent a story that underscores the point that 6 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:25,330 people are more powerful, more capable, 7 00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:27,970 of doing wonderful things and making miracles than 8 00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:29,860 they're presently aware of. 9 00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:33,552 The Buddha said, "as we think so we become." 10 00:00:33,552 --> 00:00:35,260 So if you want to become a miracle maker, 11 00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:37,510 you have to start thinking about yourself differently. 12 00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:40,242 [MUSIC PLAYING] 13 00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:45,740 For the past 35 years, I've seen 60,000 appointments. 14 00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:49,160 I started in my practice in 1982 with the notion 15 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,650 that I was going to be helping people lose weight. 16 00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:54,440 I'm thinking simple basic nutrition 101. 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,880 Surprise, surprise, people started 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,080 coming in right away with problems 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,470 that I felt really badly about. 20 00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:00,887 I felt so much compassion for so many of these people that 21 00:01:00,887 --> 00:01:02,090 needed help. 22 00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:04,040 So I decided I was going to give it a try. 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,540 As far as I knew, nutrition couldn't 24 00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:08,390 do half of what I ultimately found out that it can do. 25 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:11,660 But it was a process of discovery one person at a time. 26 00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:14,582 [MUSIC PLAYING] 27 00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:18,180 >> So my name is Kate. 28 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:21,270 I was 29 years old, when my husband 29 00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:23,430 and I decided that it would be an ideal time 30 00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:24,353 to start our family. 31 00:01:24,353 --> 00:01:25,770 When it didn't happen immediately, 32 00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:30,690 we sought help from doctors and became increasingly more 33 00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:33,930 heartbroken and frustrated that we had not met with success. 34 00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:36,570 At such a young age, I was told by doctors 35 00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:39,270 that I had diminished ovarian reserve. 36 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:41,580 I asked for a referral and was connected 37 00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:43,590 with a reproductive endocrinologist. 38 00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:46,530 They discovered immediately that I had a thyroid issue. 39 00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:48,460 That triggered something to me immediately. 40 00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:49,260 I'm 29. 41 00:01:49,260 --> 00:01:51,593 I'm not able to get pregnant, and I have thyroid issues. 42 00:01:51,593 --> 00:01:52,530 Why is this? 43 00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:54,060 The next layer of testing that I did 44 00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:55,650 with the reproductive endocrinologist 45 00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:59,130 revealed that I did not have the ovarian 46 00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:02,340 reserve that a typical 29 or 30-year-old had. 47 00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:03,720 And when I asked them about that, 48 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880 I was told that it was bad luck, that I had just 49 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,110 drawn the short straw. 50 00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:08,985 And that was the way that it was going to be, 51 00:02:08,985 --> 00:02:11,190 and we could get over that through IVF treatments. 52 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:14,280 But that was simply the way that it was, 53 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,410 and perhaps that was a genetic component. 54 00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:19,290 I went through many failed cycles at the first practice 55 00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:20,130 that I worked with. 56 00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:23,130 I will never forget the day that I wrote that my doctor said 57 00:02:23,130 --> 00:02:24,180 that I was an anomaly. 58 00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,400 I looked across from her at the table one day, and I said, 59 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,420 shouldn't I be pregnant by now? 60 00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:28,680 And she said, absolutely. 61 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,810 The average person is pregnant by now. 62 00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:32,970 That was crushing. 63 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:34,545 In addition to that, I had started 64 00:02:34,545 --> 00:02:36,420 seeing an acupuncturist, because I was really 65 00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:38,212 looking for any avenue of medicine that was 66 00:02:38,212 --> 00:02:39,503 going to help me be successful. 67 00:02:39,503 --> 00:02:41,130 That's how badly I wanted this family. 68 00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:43,390 And she noticed that after my treatments, 69 00:02:43,390 --> 00:02:45,952 I would get hives sometimes where the needles were. 70 00:02:45,952 --> 00:02:47,410 And when I saw her again, she said, 71 00:02:47,410 --> 00:02:48,900 I want you to try going gluten free, 72 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,150 because there is a link between skin rashes and hives, 73 00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:52,920 and things like that in a gluten allergy. 74 00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:57,570 Going gluten free, first of all, it eliminated my hives. 75 00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:01,470 But second of all, my thyroid function came back normal. 76 00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:04,500 That was when I was like, I need to pursue 77 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:08,400 this avenue of my health a little bit more seriously. 78 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,305 And that's when I connected with Mark. 79 00:03:10,305 --> 00:03:13,290 The first time I met Mark, I joined him in his office, 80 00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:16,470 and I filled out a questionnaire about the food that I eat. 81 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:19,660 I told him why I was there, and I was skeptical. 82 00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:21,540 So I didn't give Mark a lot of information. 83 00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:23,640 I wanted him to prove to me that he 84 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,230 knew what he was talking about. 85 00:03:25,230 --> 00:03:28,380 >> To this day, I think the most remarkable experience that 86 00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:30,870 I've ever had regarding epiphanies is the epiphany 87 00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:33,330 of my compassion leading me to the idea of nonverbal 88 00:03:33,330 --> 00:03:34,320 communication. 89 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,763 Opening up an energy field between my patients and myself, 90 00:03:37,763 --> 00:03:39,180 that taught me everything I needed 91 00:03:39,180 --> 00:03:40,560 to know about them and more. 92 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,090 >> So he muscle tested me. 93 00:03:42,090 --> 00:03:45,480 He asked me a series of random questions. 94 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,590 Are you cold? 95 00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:50,280 Which I knew was linked to my thyroid, but I didn't tell him 96 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,870 I had a thyroid issue. 97 00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:55,380 He asked me if I sometimes got viral sores. 98 00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:58,410 And then he showed me a diagram of my body 99 00:03:58,410 --> 00:04:01,043 and said that my fertility issue was with my ovaries. 100 00:04:01,043 --> 00:04:02,460 I hadn't said anything about that. 101 00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:04,920 I told Mark I wanted to have a baby and I couldn't. 102 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,530 But I didn't tell him that the doctors had identified 103 00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:09,780 that I had low ovarian reserve. 104 00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:12,960 So from muscle testing me and asking me 105 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,970 three questions, that indicated to me he 106 00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:17,121 knew exactly what was going on, my jaw 107 00:04:17,121 --> 00:04:18,329 was practically on the floor. 108 00:04:18,329 --> 00:04:20,204 >> There's so much going on in a human being, 109 00:04:20,204 --> 00:04:22,720 so much going on that's nonverbal, and I'd feel that. 110 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,520 I'd sense that. 111 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,910 I'd perceive that at deeper sensory levels in my own being. 112 00:04:26,910 --> 00:04:30,060 I was learning things that I didn't know I had access to. 113 00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:33,270 But I opened up my heart, instinctually, 114 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:36,030 and got back their answers instinctually as well. 115 00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:39,780 >> He told me that I had a retrovirus that was wreaking 116 00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:41,440 havoc on my immune system. 117 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,520 He told me in that very moment what foods I could eat 118 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,710 and what foods I had to avoid. 119 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:49,290 And then he put me on a bunch of supplements. 120 00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:52,290 He told me, don't do any treatments in the next three 121 00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:53,100 months. 122 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,200 But give me six months, and I guarantee you 123 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,860 will be pregnant in six months. 124 00:04:56,860 --> 00:05:00,270 So I went home and that day cleaned out the cupboards, 125 00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,700 bought all the supplements, did my research. 126 00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:04,920 I was nervous about taking all those supplements. 127 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,050 But in the research that I had done, 128 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:09,180 I learned that Mark was putting me 129 00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:13,050 on things that my body needed, and should have been getting, 130 00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:15,420 and just wasn't because of modern day food 131 00:05:15,420 --> 00:05:17,140 and what we do to the food that we eat. 132 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:19,890 So I checked back in with Mark at the three month mark. 133 00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:23,995 And he said, I think if you start a treatment now and go 134 00:05:23,995 --> 00:05:24,870 about your treatment. 135 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:27,300 After three months on that diet, I had a completely different 136 00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:28,100 response. 137 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:31,350 So prior to the diet and the supplements with Mark, 138 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:34,140 I was producing seven eggs that were 139 00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:36,960 resulting in two embryos that could be transferred back 140 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:37,920 into me. 141 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Three months later, I produced 17 eggs 142 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:45,150 that resulted in 10 viable embryos to work with in order 143 00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:46,420 to achieve a pregnancy. 144 00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:47,220 I'll never forget. 145 00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:48,840 My doctor walked in the room too, 146 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:50,235 after those results had come out. 147 00:05:50,235 --> 00:05:52,360 And he just looked at me, and he said, who are you? 148 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,870 I can't believe what has happened. 149 00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:58,620 It did happen, and it happened right shy of the six month mark 150 00:05:58,620 --> 00:05:59,910 that Mark had promised. 151 00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:01,110 One of the things that Mark would do, 152 00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:02,902 when my husband and I were meeting with him 153 00:06:02,902 --> 00:06:04,920 is, he would actually call us mom and dad. 154 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,607 When you would leave a meeting with him, 155 00:06:06,607 --> 00:06:08,190 you would say to yourself, he believes 156 00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:09,420 this is going to happen to me. 157 00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:10,650 And he keeps telling me that I need 158 00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:12,733 to believe this is going to happen for me as well. 159 00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:14,590 And that was transformational for us. 160 00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:16,840 So there was the food, and there were the supplements. 161 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,257 But then there was also this piece 162 00:06:18,257 --> 00:06:21,550 about just remaining positive and believing 163 00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:22,680 that this would happen. 164 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,430 Probably the best visit I've had with Mark 165 00:06:24,430 --> 00:06:27,295 was when I was able to bring my daughter in and meet Mark. 166 00:06:27,295 --> 00:06:29,380 And he looked over at her, and she looked at him. 167 00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:32,470 And she just let this ginormous smile out for Mark, 168 00:06:32,470 --> 00:06:35,290 and it was just one of those really special moments for me. 169 00:06:35,290 --> 00:06:36,820 And I think for Mark too. 170 00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:39,460 He said to me, the baby that people said wouldn't exist 171 00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:40,780 smiled back at me today. 172 00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:44,056 [MUSIC PLAYING] 173 00:06:45,317 --> 00:06:46,900 >> Early on, when I first started off, 174 00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:50,020 I was surprised to hear that so many patients were having such 175 00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:52,240 a hard time with Western medicine. 176 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,460 I thought to myself, that doesn't sound like what 177 00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:56,530 I was raised to understand. 178 00:06:56,530 --> 00:07:01,570 And I expected this highly technological advanced system 179 00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:04,420 of medicine to be consistently errorless, 180 00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:07,850 and to be efficient, and to be capable, at least capable. 181 00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:09,850 But for me, to find out that so many people were 182 00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:13,690 being mismanaged and getting sicker 183 00:07:13,690 --> 00:07:15,153 was an astounding reality for me. 184 00:07:15,153 --> 00:07:16,070 I couldn't believe it. 185 00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:19,277 I thought to myself, well, they have the technology. 186 00:07:19,277 --> 00:07:20,110 They have the money. 187 00:07:20,110 --> 00:07:21,985 They have the slickness, if you will. 188 00:07:21,985 --> 00:07:23,360 I don't have any of those things, 189 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,980 but what I can make up for is compassion, concern, interest. 190 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:29,297 When I work with somebody, I'm just 191 00:07:29,297 --> 00:07:31,630 positively determined to make sure it's going to happen. 192 00:07:31,630 --> 00:07:34,230 So I had patients that are stacking me up with issues 193 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:35,850 that I was unfamiliar with. 194 00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:37,960 They were miles over my head. 195 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,780 But it didn't stop me. 196 00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:41,370 One of the most incredible things 197 00:07:41,370 --> 00:07:44,040 that I stumbled on with whole systems medicine 198 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,337 was this interconnectedness. 199 00:07:45,337 --> 00:07:46,920 There all these different energy zones 200 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,628 in the body, different acupuncture zones, 201 00:07:48,628 --> 00:07:49,750 meridians, if you will. 202 00:07:49,750 --> 00:07:51,690 And there are different ways to address 203 00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:54,630 the imbalances of organ systems because 204 00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:56,430 of the interconnectedness of energy. 205 00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:58,680 In the Western world, we tend to think of those things 206 00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,700 as all separate. 207 00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:00,630 A kidney's a kidney. 208 00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:02,422 A liver's a liver, but they're all actually 209 00:08:02,422 --> 00:08:04,110 part of one electromagnetic family. 210 00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:06,900 Within the context of Ayurvedic medicine, 211 00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,300 food is one of the major forms of medicine. 212 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,160 These are 4,000 year old systems. 213 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,303 So they had 4,000 years to work out the knots. 214 00:08:13,303 --> 00:08:14,970 How can you not embrace something that's 215 00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:16,170 been that well-experienced? 216 00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:17,350 Everything is energetic. 217 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:18,150 Everything. 218 00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:18,600 We're energetic. 219 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,775 All our foods are energetic. 220 00:08:19,775 --> 00:08:21,900 The reactions we have with our foods are energetic. 221 00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:23,730 There's a system of energy here that says, 222 00:08:23,730 --> 00:08:24,990 either the good things are going to happen, 223 00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:26,907 or bad things are going to happen with energy. 224 00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:30,390 So by eating a certain food, it supports your energy system. 225 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:32,894 You're feeding your wellness, your ease. 226 00:08:32,894 --> 00:08:34,380 You're feeding your healthiness. 227 00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:35,880 With negative foods, you're actually 228 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,409 feeding your disease, your sickness. 229 00:08:37,409 --> 00:08:38,909 So I think it's important to realize 230 00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:41,590 that virtually everything we think, everything we eat, 231 00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:44,318 everything we drink, every sip, every bite, every encounter, 232 00:08:44,318 --> 00:08:46,110 virtually everything we do is energetically 233 00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:49,960 tied to this reality of universal chi, life force. 234 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,530 This idea that life force can be managed in order 235 00:08:52,530 --> 00:08:54,150 to make life better, that's really 236 00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:56,143 the basis, the foundation, of my work. 237 00:08:56,143 --> 00:08:58,458 [MUSIC PLAYING] 238 00:08:59,850 --> 00:09:01,320 >> My name's Adilio. 239 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,050 About eight years ago, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. 240 00:09:04,050 --> 00:09:05,160 My brother had it. 241 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,960 >> Yeah. 242 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,010 We saw his brother with the symptoms that he had, 243 00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:10,980 and I noticed the similarities in my husband. 244 00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:12,780 Our neighbor has Parkinson's. 245 00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:16,560 My former boss had Parkinson's, all roughly a few years 246 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,610 maybe before you. 247 00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:20,130 But their symptoms were a lot worse than yours. 248 00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:21,960 And then you started catching up to what 249 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,100 they were going through. 250 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,290 >> Where I used to work, there used to be a lot of walking. 251 00:09:26,290 --> 00:09:29,430 I used to stumble over my feet, sometimes fall. 252 00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:32,400 So he put me on Sinemet pills. 253 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,440 They helped a little bit but not much. 254 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,660 >> We'd all be walking along, a group of us, 255 00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,550 and I'd turn around like, where's my husband? 256 00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:40,650 And he'd be lagging behind. 257 00:09:40,650 --> 00:09:42,990 I could see the effort in him trying to reach us, 258 00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:44,070 and he couldn't. 259 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:46,890 And that's when I'm like, well, this is really not good. 260 00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:49,710 And Doris, our close friend, knew Mark 261 00:09:49,710 --> 00:09:51,690 from previous situations. 262 00:09:51,690 --> 00:09:53,050 And she suggested we see him. 263 00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,973 At first we were like, we're still 264 00:09:54,973 --> 00:09:56,140 sticking with our physician. 265 00:09:56,140 --> 00:09:57,150 He's got to do something right. 266 00:09:57,150 --> 00:09:59,110 >> And it started just getting worse and worse. 267 00:09:59,110 --> 00:10:01,110 >> I mean, the swallowing was the scariest part. 268 00:10:01,110 --> 00:10:01,500 >> Yeah, swallowing, I couldn't swallow. 269 00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,840 >> When he would be eating, he would always choke on his food. 270 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,640 And they kept saying, well, we'll try something different. 271 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,990 We'll try something different. 272 00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:08,670 And it just wasn't working for you. 273 00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:09,470 >> No, it wasn't. 274 00:10:09,470 --> 00:10:11,700 >> That too made me make the decision to go see Mark. 275 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:12,900 >> I had my doubts, but-- 276 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:13,700 >> Yeah. 277 00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,810 >> I says, it's getting worse. 278 00:10:15,810 --> 00:10:17,460 What can I lose? 279 00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:20,080 >> Where your brother ended up, you didn't want that to happen 280 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,880 to you. 281 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,300 >> No. 282 00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:22,320 I didn't. 283 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,590 >> He did kinesiology on him and told us exactly what he could 284 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:26,580 and could not eat. 285 00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:30,390 >> Got those little tube things and tested me with stuff what I 286 00:10:30,390 --> 00:10:31,660 can eat on my arm. 287 00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:33,450 I was like, who is this guy? 288 00:10:33,450 --> 00:10:35,310 I was like, this ain't gonna work. 289 00:10:35,310 --> 00:10:37,640 No way. 290 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,700 It worked. 291 00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:42,400 >> He told him, 21 days, you are going to see a difference. 292 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,470 We're both like, OK. 293 00:10:43,470 --> 00:10:45,240 So he said, when we left that day, 294 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,440 I am determined to go and do what he said. 295 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,270 I'm like, OK. 296 00:10:48,270 --> 00:10:48,780 We'll see. 297 00:10:48,780 --> 00:10:49,800 >> When we got out of the office, 298 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,550 we went to get the supplements right away. 299 00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,850 >> And I went out, bought the organics and all that he 300 00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:54,650 needed. 301 00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:57,570 He lost 30 pounds in those 21 days, and I'm like, 302 00:10:57,570 --> 00:10:59,130 you are a different person. 303 00:10:59,130 --> 00:11:02,490 His movements, everything, just it was like, 304 00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:03,840 this is unbelievable. 305 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,890 >> So like they say, you are what you eat. 306 00:11:05,890 --> 00:11:06,690 It's true. 307 00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:07,490 >> Yeah. 308 00:11:07,490 --> 00:11:08,435 It's like a miracle. 309 00:11:08,435 --> 00:11:10,560 >> I think you have to be careful about the concept 310 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,380 of turning diseases into a bunch of labels purely 311 00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:16,980 for the identification of a protocol that has a matching 312 00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:18,480 pharmaceutical drug or two. 313 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,320 On the case of Adilio, viral inflammation 314 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,890 was causing the symptoms that were 315 00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,230 mimicking symptoms of Parkinson's 316 00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:26,670 neurodegeneratively. 317 00:11:26,670 --> 00:11:29,310 Symptoms of the language of the body, the symptoms 318 00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:30,930 lead you to the source. 319 00:11:30,930 --> 00:11:33,300 Listening to the symptoms and not shutting them off, 320 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:35,790 in my opinion, is a much better idea. 321 00:11:35,790 --> 00:11:39,270 >> When I go to my neurologists, they can't believe how well 322 00:11:39,270 --> 00:11:40,200 I'm getting. 323 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,650 I walk two to three miles two times a week. 324 00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:43,860 And it feels great. 325 00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:46,400 Before, I couldn't do it, because I used to stumble over 326 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,670 my feet, sometimes fall. 327 00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:49,546 Or even before, to tie my shoes, I'd 328 00:11:49,546 --> 00:11:52,670 have a hard time making a bow, tying it, 329 00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:54,380 every day for the longest time. 330 00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:57,610 And now, no problem. 331 00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:00,250 >> We're dealing with human beings that are like universes 332 00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:03,490 unto themselves, complex, deep. 333 00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:04,870 It's important that we understand 334 00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:07,630 that to just give somebody a label is to disempower them. 335 00:12:07,630 --> 00:12:10,120 I want to empower them by giving them answers. 336 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,580 So that they can take care of their own situation at home. 337 00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:15,580 >> The way he's going now with how he's improved, 338 00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:18,100 if he didn't do that, I don't know how much longer he would 339 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,030 be here. 340 00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:21,387 With what he's doing now, he's going 341 00:12:21,387 --> 00:12:22,470 to be around a lot longer. 342 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:25,865 [MUSIC PLAYING] 343 00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:30,790 >> What exists before the physician? 344 00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:33,220 What exists is a body, primarily, 345 00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:35,920 a body with some symptoms that need to be understood. 346 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,550 And this is such a small partial understanding 347 00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:42,790 of what this human being is before the physician. 348 00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:46,630 Helping medicine remember and come back to its roots 349 00:12:46,630 --> 00:12:51,580 is to help heal current biomedical sciences 350 00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:53,140 and the practice of medicine. 351 00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:55,270 And these roots are the traditional home 352 00:12:55,270 --> 00:12:56,110 medical systems. 353 00:12:56,110 --> 00:12:59,200 They've been at it a lot longer, for millennia, typically. 354 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,300 And they had enough time to figure out 355 00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,300 what a human being really is beyond the physical body. 356 00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:07,270 >> Ancient civilizations have always talked about the power 357 00:13:07,270 --> 00:13:10,030 of thought, for example, in affecting our consciousness 358 00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:11,560 and affecting our health. 359 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,170 And through tools in psychoneuroimmunology 360 00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:18,280 and neuroscience, we now know that our belief systems greatly 361 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,340 affect our health. 362 00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:22,810 And that's actually influencing our endocrine system 363 00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:24,850 and our central nervous system. 364 00:13:24,850 --> 00:13:28,030 It's affecting the patterning of energy and information 365 00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:29,170 in our bodies. 366 00:13:29,170 --> 00:13:32,410 And that's why the way that we think, the way that we feel, 367 00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:35,080 has such a powerful role in impacting our health. 368 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,530 >> Orthodox medicine looks to quiet the symptoms. 369 00:13:38,530 --> 00:13:41,230 It's directed to the point of impact 370 00:13:41,230 --> 00:13:44,030 of the disease, the discomfort, the pain, the suffering. 371 00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:46,237 If somebody'd go to a traditional Western doctor 372 00:13:46,237 --> 00:13:47,695 for a migraine headache, the doctor 373 00:13:47,695 --> 00:13:49,540 would give them the medication that would actually 374 00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:50,680 deaden the nerve endings. 375 00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,013 So that you couldn't feel the inflammation in your head. 376 00:13:53,013 --> 00:13:56,470 It's still there, but you can't feel it. 377 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:59,440 My way of dealing with that, holistically, would be to say, 378 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,850 let's find out if it's the liver that's causing the problem. 379 00:14:03,850 --> 00:14:07,420 It could be a high concentration of indoles, and phenols, 380 00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:09,130 and different chemistries in the liver 381 00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:10,720 that's causing liver inflammation. 382 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,630 It's sending this message to the body, to the head, 383 00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:15,700 in the form of pain called a headache. 384 00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,190 And it could be a food allergy or a food sensitivity 385 00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,490 to wheat, to dairy, to any one of a number of possibilities. 386 00:14:21,490 --> 00:14:24,270 To me, the most important facet is 387 00:14:24,270 --> 00:14:27,890 to understand the dynamics, the physics, if you will, 388 00:14:27,890 --> 00:14:30,070 of the disease to get to the root of what's 389 00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:32,470 causing the pain, the suffering, and to be 390 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:37,440 able to work systemically within the context of imbalances that 391 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,400 are existing in those systems. 392 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,040 I don't want to just shut the pain off. 393 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,630 You're not correcting the imbalance. 394 00:14:42,630 --> 00:14:44,172 >> I mean, we could ask the question, 395 00:14:44,172 --> 00:14:47,010 does the current medical system as it's commonly practiced 396 00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:49,350 in the US foster-- 397 00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:51,690 does it mirror the whole person in medicine? 398 00:14:51,690 --> 00:14:54,120 Where a physician really has enough time 399 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,610 to query the person how they're doing, 400 00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:58,998 their home life, their emotional life, 401 00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:01,290 in addition to their physical life and symptoms, and we 402 00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:02,540 just don't see enough of that. 403 00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:05,440 [MUSIC PLAYING] 404 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,740 >> My name is Michael, and I experienced sudden hearing 405 00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:10,910 loss. 406 00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:12,710 At first, I wasn't sure. 407 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:15,800 I really didn't know about the severity of it. 408 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,170 I didn't know if it was water in the year from swimming 409 00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:18,970 at the beach. 410 00:15:18,970 --> 00:15:23,030 Or I didn't know what it was and was subsequently diagnosed 411 00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:26,360 with autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss. 412 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,962 That was what I was told. 413 00:15:27,962 --> 00:15:29,420 Your immune system is out of whack. 414 00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:31,200 Your immune system is attacking your body, 415 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,350 so we need to calm down your immune system. 416 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:37,220 Treatment was prescribed steroids. 417 00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:40,430 And after a period of time, it seemed to work. 418 00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:42,920 And then about, I'd say, four or five years later, 419 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,515 the hearing loss came back again. 420 00:15:44,515 --> 00:15:47,810 I again was prescribed steroids, but this time it 421 00:15:47,810 --> 00:15:50,000 wasn't working quite as well as the first time. 422 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,467 I called my doctor and said, hey, what's going on here? 423 00:15:53,467 --> 00:15:54,800 When's this supposed to kick in? 424 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,175 How long is this supposed to take 425 00:15:56,175 --> 00:15:57,380 till I get my hearing back? 426 00:15:57,380 --> 00:16:01,170 And the response I got was, well, it's not coming back. 427 00:16:01,170 --> 00:16:02,270 It might not come back. 428 00:16:02,270 --> 00:16:05,480 It might actually get worse, and the goal of this treatment 429 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,850 is to help stabilize where you are 430 00:16:07,850 --> 00:16:10,650 and try to keep it from getting worse as much as possible. 431 00:16:10,650 --> 00:16:12,020 It's not going to cure you. 432 00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:14,120 We actually don't know, but we have 433 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,550 a limited number of drugs, a limited number of options 434 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:17,740 to try. 435 00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:24,090 The only way we know if any of this works is if you tell us. 436 00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:26,330 And I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute. 437 00:16:26,330 --> 00:16:27,500 Aren't you driving the bus? 438 00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,740 The message was to learn to live with it 439 00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:33,770 and manage it, hearing aids. 440 00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:36,080 They talked to me about doing a cochlear implant. 441 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,580 And I actually got hearing aids. 442 00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:42,680 Even with the hearing aids, hearing was still not great. 443 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,050 I was still having difficulty in conversations 444 00:16:45,050 --> 00:16:45,980 talking to people. 445 00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:48,920 If I'm having a meeting, talking with someone in a business 446 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,645 setting, sitting across the table, 447 00:16:50,645 --> 00:16:51,770 I couldn't understand them. 448 00:16:51,770 --> 00:16:52,645 I couldn't hear them. 449 00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:55,500 It was not manageable. 450 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:56,720 And so I said to the doctor-- 451 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,897 I call him up, said, look, this isn't working, 452 00:16:58,897 --> 00:17:00,230 and we got to do something else. 453 00:17:00,230 --> 00:17:01,310 I tried managing it. 454 00:17:01,310 --> 00:17:03,620 And he said, sorry, there is nothing else. 455 00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:07,700 And I just realized that it's time to change course. 456 00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,829 You're not driving the bus anymore. 457 00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:11,030 Give me the keys. 458 00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:14,750 And that's when my first encounter happened with Mark. 459 00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:16,940 As chance happened, Mark moved into my building. 460 00:17:16,940 --> 00:17:18,980 And he was just two offices down from me. 461 00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:22,010 I had heard about him from a number 462 00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:24,560 of sources, people telling me their experience, 463 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,910 personal experience. 464 00:17:25,910 --> 00:17:28,310 In that first meeting, we spent about an hour, 465 00:17:28,310 --> 00:17:30,830 did his readings, energy readings, muscle testing. 466 00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:32,970 He asked me questions, interviewed me. 467 00:17:32,970 --> 00:17:34,970 Meanwhile, I'm sitting there with hearing aids 468 00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:37,370 and listening as best that I can. 469 00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:39,290 And then he says to me at the end of the hour, 470 00:17:39,290 --> 00:17:40,340 here's the problem. 471 00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:44,480 Your adrenal glands and your spleen, I think, it was. 472 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,290 That's the problem. 473 00:17:45,290 --> 00:17:46,975 That's the root of your problem. 474 00:17:46,975 --> 00:17:48,350 Here's how we're going to fix it, 475 00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:51,260 and he prescribed a diet and certain supplements, 476 00:17:51,260 --> 00:17:52,552 homeopathic approaches. 477 00:17:52,552 --> 00:17:53,510 And he said, all right. 478 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:56,660 Well, listen, you can't eat X, Y, and Z. 479 00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:59,690 And I guess it's easier to think of what I could eat, 480 00:17:59,690 --> 00:18:01,500 because a lot of things were crossed off. 481 00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,590 And he says, if you do this, here's 482 00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:06,870 how long it's going to take. 483 00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:08,420 Here's the result you can expect. 484 00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:09,890 And when you come back here, you're 485 00:18:09,890 --> 00:18:12,480 not going to be around those hearing aids. 486 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,500 And I said, wow, OK. 487 00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:19,020 And I walked out of that office thinking to myself, 488 00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:21,890 I'm driving the bus. 489 00:18:21,890 --> 00:18:24,180 >> There's 600 different lymphatic filters in the main 490 00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:24,980 body. 491 00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:29,090 They filter germs, bacteria, viruses, allergens, endotoxins, 492 00:18:29,090 --> 00:18:31,533 constantly filtering these poisons out of the body. 493 00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:32,450 You want them to flow. 494 00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:33,367 You want them to move. 495 00:18:33,367 --> 00:18:36,053 Back to the idea of flow, if they back up, 496 00:18:36,053 --> 00:18:38,345 things get problematic in the head, and the eyes, ears, 497 00:18:38,345 --> 00:18:39,513 nose, and throat, et cetera. 498 00:18:39,513 --> 00:18:41,180 That's exactly what happened to Michael. 499 00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:43,805 His hearing is backed up because of the fact that his lymphatic 500 00:18:43,805 --> 00:18:46,640 was swollen with a lot of debris that wasn't being filtered, 501 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,900 because his spleen was weak. 502 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,630 >> Through an exposure to environmental mold, 503 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,760 the mold had entered my body and become fungal. 504 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,680 So what he was doing was cleaning that up. 505 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,360 It was an adjustment to the diet, 506 00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:58,340 but it was very impactful. 507 00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:00,080 Hearing started improving I would 508 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,170 say within a couple of weeks probably. 509 00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:06,060 Now, then after three months, it was-- 510 00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:08,570 I had actually got rid of the hearing aids. 511 00:19:08,570 --> 00:19:10,160 I didn't need them. 512 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,590 As a result of following Mark's protocol, 513 00:19:12,590 --> 00:19:16,040 I now have 90% to 100% of my hearing back. 514 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,787 It is a maintenance as well. 515 00:19:17,787 --> 00:19:19,370 It's not the quick pill that we're all 516 00:19:19,370 --> 00:19:21,660 programmed to say, oh, you're one and done. 517 00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:22,460 But it's easier. 518 00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:24,430 It's a lot easier than you think. 519 00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:27,250 It's actually very empowering. 520 00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:29,250 It's a simple question. 521 00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,130 Do you want to slave to your palate, 522 00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:33,480 or do you want to be a master of your health? 523 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,480 And I think most people would choose the latter. 524 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,833 [MUSIC PLAYING] 525 00:19:41,710 --> 00:19:44,620 >> Basically, science was predicated on the science 526 00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:47,470 of Isaac Newton's physics which recognized the world 527 00:19:47,470 --> 00:19:50,990 or universe had two parts, a physical and an energetic 528 00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:51,790 realm. 529 00:19:51,790 --> 00:19:53,350 And that whatever was physical would 530 00:19:53,350 --> 00:19:56,990 be affected by physical things, and energy not being physical 531 00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:58,250 were not affected. 532 00:19:58,250 --> 00:20:01,870 This led to the first separation in medicine of the separation 533 00:20:01,870 --> 00:20:03,280 of mind from body. 534 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,270 >> Biology, in the West, in fact, since the 17th century, 535 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:10,990 has been modeled on the machine theory of life. 536 00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:12,100 The heart's a pump. 537 00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:13,900 The brain's like a computer. 538 00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:15,460 The eyes are like a camera. 539 00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:18,550 They're mechanisms and machines, but the mind's got nothing 540 00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:19,750 to do with any of this. 541 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:23,560 In fact, according to the mechanistic theory of life, 542 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,760 the mind doesn't do anything at all. 543 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,300 It's a kind of illusion that hovers 544 00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,460 around the physical activity of the brain. 545 00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:32,620 But it doesn't really influence the brain, 546 00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:35,230 because that's impossible in a mechanistic world view. 547 00:20:35,230 --> 00:20:37,210 >> So when you think of mind and matter, 548 00:20:37,210 --> 00:20:41,110 it's two different things, already you've broken simple 549 00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:43,840 laws of physics, laws of conservation, 550 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,200 of energy and matter, laws of thermodynamics. 551 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,680 Lifting your hand has to be preceded by an intention. 552 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,140 The hand can only lift if the hand, and the intention, 553 00:20:56,140 --> 00:21:00,220 and the source of the intention are the same entity. 554 00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:03,200 If there are two different entities, the hand won't lift. 555 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,670 >> We have been steeped in an era of what we call materialism 556 00:21:06,670 --> 00:21:07,882 in medicine and science. 557 00:21:07,882 --> 00:21:08,840 So what does that mean? 558 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,380 It basically means that we have been fed a belief 559 00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:14,830 system that we are separate, and that we are only physical, 560 00:21:14,830 --> 00:21:17,590 and that consciousness arises from physical processes 561 00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:18,910 such as brain function. 562 00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:22,060 >> Western medicine is missing about half the equation 563 00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:24,380 of reality, which is energy. 564 00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:25,780 It's dealing in a material level. 565 00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:30,190 >> That fundamental split is an illusion of the reality 566 00:21:30,190 --> 00:21:31,490 of the whole person. 567 00:21:31,490 --> 00:21:33,490 So in that sense, Western medicine 568 00:21:33,490 --> 00:21:35,500 as it's currently practiced will never really 569 00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,470 be able to address the totality of healing of a human being. 570 00:21:38,470 --> 00:21:41,640 [MUSIC PLAYING] 571 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,370 >> What does the word physical mean? 572 00:21:44,370 --> 00:21:46,340 Well, it comes to the word physis 573 00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:48,540 which is a Greek word which means nature. 574 00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,090 In fact, at the time of Newton they called scientists, what 575 00:21:51,090 --> 00:21:52,715 they call today scientists, they called 576 00:21:52,715 --> 00:21:53,940 them natural philosophers. 577 00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:55,800 So physics is really about nature. 578 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,100 Today though, it has degenerated into something that says, 579 00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:00,300 well, it's material. 580 00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:02,100 It's something that's concrete. 581 00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,590 That's something that I can touch, et cetera. 582 00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:07,410 And we know from physics that actually the touch that we have 583 00:22:07,410 --> 00:22:10,650 or filling the boundary is an illusion, 584 00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:14,605 in the sense that actually, it's just electromagnetic forces. 585 00:22:14,605 --> 00:22:16,980 >> Atoms, which were supposed to be the smallest particle 586 00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:19,590 in the universe when physics was being created, 587 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:21,367 turns out that they looked inside. 588 00:22:21,367 --> 00:22:23,200 And they found there were smaller particles. 589 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,700 Oh my God. 590 00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,492 There are electrons, protons, and neutrons. 591 00:22:25,492 --> 00:22:28,050 So there are smaller physical things. 592 00:22:28,050 --> 00:22:30,750 But then the revolution came in and say, 593 00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:32,910 what are those small things made out of? 594 00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:35,340 What's an electron or proton made out of? 595 00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:38,220 And then they come down in some kind of metaphysical world 596 00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:39,210 like quarks. 597 00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:40,920 And I go, what does all this represent? 598 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,040 It turns out there is no physical structure 599 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,220 inside the so-called particles that create an atom. 600 00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:50,070 The atom is an illusion of matter. 601 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:51,180 It's not real. 602 00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,710 It's an energy vortex. 603 00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:54,870 It's all like a nano tornado. 604 00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:57,600 >> Einstein taught us E equals mc squared, 605 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,630 Nobel Prize for teaching us about the theory of relativity. 606 00:23:00,630 --> 00:23:03,420 Energy and matter are interconvertible and 607 00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:04,312 transferable. 608 00:23:04,312 --> 00:23:06,270 >> Do we understand E is equaled to mc squared. 609 00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:09,220 I said, well, on one side you have E, energy. 610 00:23:09,220 --> 00:23:11,850 On the other side, you have M, matter. 611 00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,850 So Einstein said, matter and energy 612 00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:16,418 are equivalent to each other. 613 00:23:16,418 --> 00:23:18,210 Are you going to call it matter, or are you 614 00:23:18,210 --> 00:23:19,960 going to call it energy? 615 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,400 So maybe a better term is mass-energy, one word 616 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,470 rather than mass and energy. 617 00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:28,830 >> In 1931, Werner Heisenberg won the Nobel Prize 618 00:23:28,830 --> 00:23:36,540 for teaching us that energy makes up 99.999% of reality. 619 00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:38,610 We have our five sensory connection, our three 620 00:23:38,610 --> 00:23:40,110 dimensional tendencies. 621 00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:42,230 So we're only able to see, and perceive, 622 00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:44,760 and connect with, and communicate about, 623 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,755 and understand what we see, and what we can touch, 624 00:23:47,755 --> 00:23:48,630 and what we can feel. 625 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:50,120 We don't go beyond that. 626 00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:52,200 >> So in modern quantum field theory, 627 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,710 the only reality is vibrations of energy. 628 00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:58,500 Those vibrations of energy are called quanta. 629 00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:01,560 They're called particles, condensed forms of energy. 630 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,760 >> Matter itself is made up of fields and energy. 631 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,890 Energy is what makes things move, act, have activity. 632 00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:11,250 And fields are what give shape or form 633 00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:13,650 to the way the energy is organized. 634 00:24:13,650 --> 00:24:15,420 >> And if we take a step further, 635 00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:18,570 it starts to clarify a much bigger picture that we are 636 00:24:18,570 --> 00:24:19,830 electromagnetic beings. 637 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:22,740 We're energy beings, that everything is energy. 638 00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:23,680 Diseases are energy. 639 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Viruses are energy. 640 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,110 Bacterias are energy. 641 00:24:26,110 --> 00:24:27,150 There is a process. 642 00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:30,240 There is a dance that takes place between our energy 643 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,400 and the energies around us and within us. 644 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,570 When we lower our frequency, our energy, our verve, our life 645 00:24:36,570 --> 00:24:40,140 force, we run the risk of lowering 646 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:45,240 our electromagnetic frequency into a range that harmonizes 647 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,790 with viruses that are capable of affecting 648 00:24:47,790 --> 00:24:49,920 our neurological beingness. 649 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,670 >> Albert Einstein's very famous quote comes right here. 650 00:24:53,670 --> 00:24:58,440 "The field is the sole governing agency of the particle." 651 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,930 Energy is the sole governing agency of matter. 652 00:25:01,930 --> 00:25:04,800 Energy is the force that shapes matter. 653 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,170 We've excluded energy from all the sciences, 654 00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:08,400 because they were Newtonian. 655 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,800 It doesn't mean Newtonian science is wrong. 656 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,100 It's just a small subset of a bigger 657 00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,200 science called quantum physics. 658 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,080 And quantum physics is the energy universe 659 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,000 that we live in. 660 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,750 >> One thing that a number of healers say, 661 00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:23,370 regardless of their healing tradition, 662 00:25:23,370 --> 00:25:26,550 is they talk about information that is stored both within 663 00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:29,320 the body and outside of the body. 664 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,650 The biofield is a set of interpenetrating 665 00:25:31,650 --> 00:25:34,590 and interacting fields of energy and information 666 00:25:34,590 --> 00:25:35,830 that guide our health. 667 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:38,910 So you have kinesiologists and energy healers 668 00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:41,550 talking about how they can get information 669 00:25:41,550 --> 00:25:43,860 about a person's history, their memory, 670 00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:46,290 even their emotional state from informational fields 671 00:25:46,290 --> 00:25:47,160 around the body. 672 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,750 >> What's the definition of field? 673 00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:50,970 In physics, a simple definition? 674 00:25:50,970 --> 00:25:55,710 Invisible moving forces that influence the physical world. 675 00:25:55,710 --> 00:26:01,140 And I go, well, this is amazing, because ancient word spirit is 676 00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:04,980 invisible moving forces that influence the physical world. 677 00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,950 Quantum physics is giving us the insight 678 00:26:07,950 --> 00:26:09,510 that spiritualists have always talked 679 00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:11,700 about without a scientific foundation. 680 00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:14,010 Now, there's a science of energy. 681 00:26:14,010 --> 00:26:17,298 [MUSIC PLAYING] 682 00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:20,700 >> My name is Elizabeth. 683 00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:25,500 I had breast cancer in 1996. 684 00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,800 I went off on vacation, found something hard, 685 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,200 and basically, was filled with dread 686 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,030 immediately from my first encounter with that lump. 687 00:26:36,030 --> 00:26:38,250 Within a couple of weeks, got the diagnosis, 688 00:26:38,250 --> 00:26:39,900 yes, you have breast cancer. 689 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,060 There had to be chemo for six months 690 00:26:42,060 --> 00:26:45,330 and radiation for three months. 691 00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:47,010 Then I first had a lumpectomy. 692 00:26:47,010 --> 00:26:50,890 And after the lumpectomy, in my heart, I felt that I was-- 693 00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:51,690 it was gone. 694 00:26:51,690 --> 00:26:53,730 I felt like that's where I should end, 695 00:26:53,730 --> 00:26:56,100 but I was very fearful. 696 00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:59,100 I had two young girls, kindergarten, second grade. 697 00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,700 So I began the chemo, dreading it, 698 00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:05,250 feeling like it was just the wrong, wrong thing to do. 699 00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:09,510 By the end of the six months, I was physically a wreck. 700 00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:11,550 It really took a toll on me. 701 00:27:11,550 --> 00:27:19,050 I felt so unwell in every way I can possibly describe. 702 00:27:19,050 --> 00:27:20,850 And I had no energy. 703 00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:22,530 I was nauseous. 704 00:27:22,530 --> 00:27:24,210 I felt weak. 705 00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:27,930 Eyelashes, eyebrows gone, hair, just 706 00:27:27,930 --> 00:27:30,540 to see the impact all over my body physically 707 00:27:30,540 --> 00:27:34,530 but inside of me, I just felt like I 708 00:27:34,530 --> 00:27:36,660 was a walking dead person. 709 00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:38,280 I had the life sucked out of me. 710 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,790 I tried to stay on track in my life for my girls. 711 00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:45,720 So I would go in and help in the classroom as much as I could. 712 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,570 But I just remember sitting in those little chairs 713 00:27:48,570 --> 00:27:50,250 in the kindergarten room and trying 714 00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:54,230 to do something with a child and just like, oh my God. 715 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:59,460 Just trying to get through the process and be up for them 716 00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:03,270 and be myself, but it was hard. 717 00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:04,110 It was hard. 718 00:28:04,110 --> 00:28:06,960 When the six months were up, my daughter in kindergarten 719 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,340 had a friend over for a playdate. 720 00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:11,340 It was the very first time they played together. 721 00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,240 I didn't know her. 722 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,680 I didn't know the mom. 723 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,420 But when her mom came to pick her up, 724 00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:17,160 and she pulled out an appointment card 725 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,270 and handed it to me. 726 00:28:18,270 --> 00:28:21,000 And she said, this man can help you. 727 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,160 I have an appointment with him next week, 728 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,450 but I cannot make it. 729 00:28:24,450 --> 00:28:26,100 And if you were to try to see him, 730 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,660 it would be months down the road. 731 00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:29,490 He has a long waiting list. 732 00:28:29,490 --> 00:28:30,460 So here. 733 00:28:30,460 --> 00:28:31,260 Take this. 734 00:28:31,260 --> 00:28:33,510 Go see this man next week. 735 00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:37,830 And I had no idea who it was, why I was going, but I went. 736 00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:40,180 I just felt it was a strong message. 737 00:28:40,180 --> 00:28:42,090 I needed to pursue this. 738 00:28:42,090 --> 00:28:46,140 So when I went to that appointment, my very first time 739 00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:50,100 meeting Mark, I can't even describe how different 740 00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:53,640 that appointment was from any doctor's appointment I'd ever 741 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,960 experienced before. 742 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,360 It was just a whole different world 743 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:04,080 of talking about health, your body, disease, energy, 744 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,360 your spirit. 745 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,870 He just wove everything together versus just talking 746 00:29:09,870 --> 00:29:13,410 about your body and what drugs we're going to put you on next. 747 00:29:13,410 --> 00:29:16,140 >> There is a more meaningful experience that's taking place 748 00:29:16,140 --> 00:29:19,330 just based on the talk, just based on the conversation. 749 00:29:19,330 --> 00:29:21,120 So the minute you come in, you're 750 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,700 feeling that you're being addressed 751 00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,970 at a deeper level in ways that you don't even 752 00:29:26,970 --> 00:29:28,260 address yourself, perhaps. 753 00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:31,590 >> He taught me things that I just had no idea were a part 754 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:34,200 of wellness, like your pH. 755 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,410 It's often too acidic, and that's the environment 756 00:29:37,410 --> 00:29:39,400 in which cancer cells thrive. 757 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,580 >> And disease in general, cancer included, 758 00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:43,410 is an obligate anaerobe. 759 00:29:43,410 --> 00:29:45,840 That means it doesn't like oxygen. Disease can't live when 760 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,060 there's oxygen. But by the same token, 761 00:29:48,060 --> 00:29:51,600 sickness manifests quite readily where there's not an alkalinity 762 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,940 and not a lot of oxygen. Sugar produces a very strong acidosis 763 00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:55,740 in the body. 764 00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:57,870 >> Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar. 765 00:29:57,870 --> 00:30:00,160 I've been a sugarholic since I was a child. 766 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,150 So that just made so much sense. 767 00:30:03,150 --> 00:30:04,680 He sent off a hair analysis. 768 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,410 And that yielded a lot of information 769 00:30:07,410 --> 00:30:09,870 about what was going on in my body in that moment 770 00:30:09,870 --> 00:30:13,500 and what we needed to do to bring ratios back into balance. 771 00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,920 And in that appointment, I just learned so very much. 772 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,400 That was the beginning of my feeling empowered, 773 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,000 like I have a role in being well here. 774 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,720 So we worked on my diet, worked through supplements and food 775 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,070 to get me healthy again, make me feel like myself again. 776 00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:34,140 And I trusted everything he said. 777 00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:36,300 I took everything he said. 778 00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:39,360 And within a few weeks' time, our family 779 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,110 was going off on a ski weekend with another family, our best 780 00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:44,010 friends. 781 00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:45,870 I was going with them, but I was just 782 00:30:45,870 --> 00:30:48,360 going to be staying in the lodge not skiing, obviously. 783 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,280 Because I had no strength, or energy, or the wherewithal 784 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,110 anywhere in my body to do that. 785 00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:57,370 But when we got there, the first morning, 786 00:30:57,370 --> 00:30:58,620 everyone was going off to ski. 787 00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:01,390 And I thought, it's gorgeous out there. 788 00:31:01,390 --> 00:31:03,190 I actually feel pretty good. 789 00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:04,350 Maybe I'll try this. 790 00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:06,990 So I got some skis, went out on the Bunny Slope, 791 00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:09,820 and I just took off. 792 00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:11,665 I just-- I said, I've got to go. 793 00:31:11,665 --> 00:31:12,540 I've got to try this. 794 00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:15,120 I think I can do it, and I did. 795 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,120 And I literally was going down this hill singing 796 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,390 and crying, which I'm going to do now, 797 00:31:26,390 --> 00:31:29,772 just filled with joy because I was back. 798 00:31:29,772 --> 00:31:31,550 I was back. 799 00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:33,260 It took a few weeks. 800 00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:34,940 That's all it took. 801 00:31:34,940 --> 00:31:37,220 Eating properly, eating the right foods, 802 00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:43,530 taking the supplements, that brought me back to life 803 00:31:43,530 --> 00:31:45,430 in no time. 804 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:46,950 It felt like a true miracle. 805 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:48,660 It truly did. 806 00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:51,360 >> Healing is you breaking through the walls 807 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,590 of limitation. 808 00:31:52,590 --> 00:31:54,830 It's building confidence. 809 00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,850 It's building determination. 810 00:31:56,850 --> 00:31:58,200 It's reaching beyond your grasp. 811 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,160 It's breaking through the thresholds that are binding you 812 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,810 unconditionally. 813 00:32:03,810 --> 00:32:05,460 >> Every now and then people ask me, 814 00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:07,960 when they learned I had breast cancer, how long has it been? 815 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,530 And I'd do the math, and it just amazes me. 816 00:32:10,530 --> 00:32:11,865 It's now been 22 years. 817 00:32:11,865 --> 00:32:14,838 [MUSIC PLAYING] 818 00:32:16,650 --> 00:32:19,660 >> There are all kinds of aspects of the biofield that we 819 00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:21,640 already know about and that we measure. 820 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,520 So for example, we can place electrodes in our head 821 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,630 or on our heart. 822 00:32:25,630 --> 00:32:27,590 And we get these electromagnetic readouts. 823 00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:28,390 Right? 824 00:32:28,390 --> 00:32:31,060 From EKG and EEG, and those tell us 825 00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:33,280 about our clinical condition, our heart health, 826 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,490 and our brain. 827 00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:36,160 So those are aspects of the biofield. 828 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,230 We can even study the biofield of cells. 829 00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:40,750 We can look at electromagnetic readouts of the cells. 830 00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:44,440 And we can look and see how using electromagnetic energies 831 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,718 affect cellular health. 832 00:32:45,718 --> 00:32:47,260 That's pretty well-known and studied, 833 00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:50,230 and it's really a booming area in regenerative medicine, 834 00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:51,050 for example. 835 00:32:51,050 --> 00:32:52,700 >> When we put electrodes across the body, 836 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,075 which is done in hundreds of thousands of times every day 837 00:32:55,075 --> 00:32:57,610 in doctors' offices, you're measuring current flow. 838 00:32:57,610 --> 00:32:59,110 And whenever we have a current flow, 839 00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,550 you create a magnetic field. 840 00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:02,350 Every time the heart beats, it also 841 00:33:02,350 --> 00:33:04,390 produces an electromagnetic field. 842 00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:07,210 The heart's the largest source of rhythmic electrical energy 843 00:33:07,210 --> 00:33:08,120 in the body. 844 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,670 So the heart's magnetic field can 845 00:33:09,670 --> 00:33:10,870 be measured with today's equipment 846 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:13,037 about three feet from the body, where we've actually 847 00:33:13,037 --> 00:33:15,400 proven and published now in peer review journals 848 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,990 that the magnetic field of the heart 849 00:33:16,990 --> 00:33:18,790 is carrying emotional information. 850 00:33:18,790 --> 00:33:21,070 We currently have about 75% accuracy 851 00:33:21,070 --> 00:33:22,630 knowing what the person's feeling, 852 00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:24,440 whether they're conscious of it or not. 853 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,410 >> We are energy beings. 854 00:33:26,410 --> 00:33:30,470 And the biofield is the energy field of our bodies. 855 00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:32,360 And it's an organizing field. 856 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,050 I believe that all of the chemistry and physiology 857 00:33:35,050 --> 00:33:39,070 of the body is controlled ultimately by the biofield. 858 00:33:39,070 --> 00:33:41,980 But still, the consciousness or the mind 859 00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:44,170 is the master of the biofield. 860 00:33:44,170 --> 00:33:46,420 And the biofield we see as a bridge 861 00:33:46,420 --> 00:33:48,280 between the mind and the body. 862 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,290 >> Your energy field has the consciousness. 863 00:33:50,290 --> 00:33:51,670 It thinks. 864 00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:52,840 It feels. 865 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,850 It's part of your living force. 866 00:33:54,850 --> 00:33:57,730 We're designed to react energetically to everything. 867 00:33:57,730 --> 00:34:00,230 It's part of our neuromuscular defense system. 868 00:34:00,230 --> 00:34:02,320 So again, if you're sitting at home relaxing 869 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,720 and you hear a shot go off in the neighborhood, 870 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,340 you're going to jump. 871 00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:08,199 That's part of your neuromuscular defense 872 00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:09,770 system trying to protect you. 873 00:34:09,770 --> 00:34:11,679 Our bodies are designed to react not just 874 00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,909 to those circumstances in those fashions but everything. 875 00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:18,715 If I have you raise up your arm, and I calibrate you, 876 00:34:18,715 --> 00:34:20,590 and I say, look, if you hear negative images, 877 00:34:20,590 --> 00:34:22,719 negative thoughts, your arm is going to be weak. 878 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,020 If I give you positive images, love, happiness, 879 00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:27,340 you're going to get strong. 880 00:34:27,340 --> 00:34:31,360 In the same way, we can actually call out foods, wheat, dairy, 881 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,370 and get you to react and respond. 882 00:34:33,370 --> 00:34:34,420 You line up 100 people. 883 00:34:34,420 --> 00:34:35,469 They're going have different positives 884 00:34:35,469 --> 00:34:36,190 and different negatives. 885 00:34:36,190 --> 00:34:38,199 That's the beauty of everybody's energy field, 886 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:40,989 because you are a conscious, living, dynamic awareness. 887 00:34:40,989 --> 00:34:43,838 You and I are fields of living awareness. 888 00:34:43,838 --> 00:34:45,880 We're tapping into that field of living awareness 889 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,960 with intention. 890 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,168 That's how we find out what's going on with the body. 891 00:34:49,168 --> 00:34:51,483 We tap in energetically, find out what kind of systems 892 00:34:51,483 --> 00:34:53,650 are breaking down, and how we can build them back up 893 00:34:53,650 --> 00:34:54,460 and balance them. 894 00:34:54,460 --> 00:34:56,710 If somebody gets a migraine headache or a stomachache, 895 00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:58,360 they're not thinking about energy. 896 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,070 They're thinking about their physical properties. 897 00:35:00,070 --> 00:35:00,910 My head hurts. 898 00:35:00,910 --> 00:35:04,090 Your head, to you, is something material and physical. 899 00:35:04,090 --> 00:35:07,720 But I challenge people to think that when you get into the why, 900 00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:09,670 why does your head hurt? 901 00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:11,270 You start to move into energy. 902 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:15,100 So your headache might happen, because you ate a food that's 903 00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,170 causing an inflammation. 904 00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:19,070 That's the transference of energy. 905 00:35:19,070 --> 00:35:22,150 So again, 72% of all disease is inflammatory, 906 00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:25,480 but 99.99% of all activity is energetic. 907 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,240 Inflammation is happening at an energetic level. 908 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:31,362 [MUSIC PLAYING] 909 00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:33,400 >> My name is Elena. 910 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,820 In 2009, I started getting headaches. 911 00:35:36,820 --> 00:35:39,820 My vision started getting worse. 912 00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:42,870 And I went to see a doctor. 913 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:47,130 After the MRI, she said, well, there is bad news. 914 00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:50,820 You have meningioma, a brain tumor the size of walnut 915 00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:51,790 in your head. 916 00:35:51,790 --> 00:35:55,050 And after I went to see a specialist, he said, 917 00:35:55,050 --> 00:35:57,630 there's nothing we can do besides surgery. 918 00:35:57,630 --> 00:35:59,250 There's two types of surgery. 919 00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:01,050 One, they go through your nose. 920 00:36:01,050 --> 00:36:04,860 And the other one, they open your skull. 921 00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:07,590 And since my tumor was too big, they 922 00:36:07,590 --> 00:36:09,210 couldn't remove it from the nose. 923 00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:10,800 They had to open my skull. 924 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,760 The surgery was done. 925 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,110 They think it was perfect. 926 00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:18,090 My vision came back after I was totally completely blind 927 00:36:18,090 --> 00:36:19,800 and I started seeing again. 928 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,160 I was very happy. 929 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,610 I was very happy for a year. 930 00:36:23,610 --> 00:36:29,040 And about a year and then my symptoms start coming back. 931 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,480 I went to see a doctor again, and he did MRI. 932 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,210 And he said, well, there is bad news. 933 00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:39,550 Tumor come back most of the time. 934 00:36:39,550 --> 00:36:42,990 And it started growing again. 935 00:36:42,990 --> 00:36:44,820 I ask, why? 936 00:36:44,820 --> 00:36:45,750 What is the reason? 937 00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:46,980 Why is it coming back? 938 00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:48,330 Why is it growing again? 939 00:36:48,330 --> 00:36:49,890 And he said, nobody knows. 940 00:36:49,890 --> 00:36:51,600 And at that point, I said, no. 941 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,710 It's not coming back. 942 00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:54,060 It's not growing. 943 00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:56,670 I'm not going through a second surgery again. 944 00:36:56,670 --> 00:36:59,940 And I start looking for some other ways. 945 00:36:59,940 --> 00:37:03,360 And a friend of mine recommended me to see Dr. Mincolla. 946 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,570 And at that point, I was ready for anything just not 947 00:37:06,570 --> 00:37:08,400 to go through surgery again. 948 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,090 My first appointment with Dr. Mincolla 949 00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:14,190 was surprising for me, actually. 950 00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:16,260 He put his finger over right here 951 00:37:16,260 --> 00:37:22,230 and then started pushing my hand down and asking questions 952 00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:23,460 like, wheat? 953 00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:24,670 Sugar? 954 00:37:24,670 --> 00:37:25,870 Dairy? 955 00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:28,860 And every time my hand fell down, 956 00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:32,280 it meant that I can't eat particular food. 957 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,120 In order to avoid surgery, I need to change my diet 958 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,550 and go strictly with everything that Dr. Mincolla told me. 959 00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:43,170 I would have to come every month, 960 00:37:43,170 --> 00:37:46,230 so he can adjust my diet through muscle testing 961 00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:48,840 and change some supplements. 962 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,500 >> We all have a genetic map when we're conceived. 963 00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,920 And there's mutations on our genetic maps, potentials 964 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,760 and possibilities for disease that can manifest in accordance 965 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,590 with our hereditary patterning. 966 00:38:01,590 --> 00:38:04,102 But these can't express unless there 967 00:38:04,102 --> 00:38:05,310 is something to trigger them. 968 00:38:05,310 --> 00:38:08,250 Things like sugar and allergies, like wheat allergies, 969 00:38:08,250 --> 00:38:11,580 end up driving up the arachidonic acid levels, which 970 00:38:11,580 --> 00:38:14,760 drive up the leukotrienes, and the Cox-2 Hormones. 971 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:20,130 Many diseases follow this pathway of inflammation. 972 00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:23,380 >> My headaches started disappearing, 973 00:38:23,380 --> 00:38:24,780 and I started feeling better. 974 00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:27,780 Everything came back to a normal life. 975 00:38:27,780 --> 00:38:29,700 And after about two years, I went 976 00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:32,910 to see my doctor to do MRI. 977 00:38:32,910 --> 00:38:35,970 He did MRI, and he said, listen, I don't know what you're doing 978 00:38:35,970 --> 00:38:37,230 but keep doing it. 979 00:38:37,230 --> 00:38:38,910 Your tumor is shrinking. 980 00:38:38,910 --> 00:38:43,140 It looks great, and he got very excited with my results. 981 00:38:43,140 --> 00:38:46,050 I've been tumor-free for nine years now, 982 00:38:46,050 --> 00:38:48,450 and I keep following diet. 983 00:38:48,450 --> 00:38:51,010 Sometimes, I cheat a little bit. 984 00:38:51,010 --> 00:38:56,130 But in general, I follow Dr. Mincolla's recommendations. 985 00:38:56,130 --> 00:38:57,180 The diet works. 986 00:38:57,180 --> 00:39:02,820 Supplements, I think, this is a miracle, the food, energy. 987 00:39:02,820 --> 00:39:06,030 It's incredible to know that with changing diet, 988 00:39:06,030 --> 00:39:09,480 you can shrink tumor and feel great again. 989 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,826 [MUSIC PLAYING] 990 00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:18,550 >> Coming from a physical point of view, which is physics, 991 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:23,140 of course, quantum physics, we quickly get to the point 992 00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:24,250 of what is the mind? 993 00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:27,550 And how does the mind interact with matter, 994 00:39:27,550 --> 00:39:28,960 what is called matter? 995 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,420 And what is the nature of reality? 996 00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:34,840 So these are deep questions, but they really comes down to what, 997 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,040 in fact, any human being experiences, 998 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,090 which is our own mind. 999 00:39:38,090 --> 00:39:41,332 So when we talk about health, a lot of times, 1000 00:39:41,332 --> 00:39:42,790 particularly in the West, we really 1001 00:39:42,790 --> 00:39:45,410 mean health of the physical body. 1002 00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:49,240 However, as the ancient Greeks first said, 1003 00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:52,900 you can't have a healthy body without a healthy mind. 1004 00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:56,020 >> There's two little words, internal and external. 1005 00:39:56,020 --> 00:39:59,350 When somebody has a bunch of problems like headaches, 1006 00:39:59,350 --> 00:40:00,970 rheumatoid arthritis, stomachaches, 1007 00:40:00,970 --> 00:40:02,950 whatever the case may be, we want 1008 00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:05,210 to know if the lion's share of those problems, 1009 00:40:05,210 --> 00:40:07,930 if most of those problems are being caused by something 1010 00:40:07,930 --> 00:40:09,760 internal or external. 1011 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,020 Internal is spirit, emotion, thought. 1012 00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:17,455 External is cells, tissues, organs, the body. 1013 00:40:17,455 --> 00:40:19,580 So we want to make sure we have a distinction here. 1014 00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:21,760 We know the difference between the internal self 1015 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,170 and the external self. 1016 00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:25,870 Our culture has programmed us to think of ourselves 1017 00:40:25,870 --> 00:40:29,290 and associate and identify with ourselves from the perspective 1018 00:40:29,290 --> 00:40:31,870 of physiological. 1019 00:40:31,870 --> 00:40:35,073 The idea of external, as I would call it, it's cellular. 1020 00:40:35,073 --> 00:40:37,240 We don't spend a whole lot of time going internally, 1021 00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:38,950 the relating to the concept of self 1022 00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:40,600 from an internal perspective. 1023 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,880 We don't understand emotional IQ or emotions. 1024 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,680 We don't understand spirit very well. 1025 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,860 We don't understand so many very powerful, powerful, components 1026 00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:51,050 of self that have a great deal to do with disease and healing. 1027 00:40:51,050 --> 00:40:53,350 And one of the key messages of "The Way of Miracles" 1028 00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:58,000 is that people have a very powerful internal self. 1029 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,500 People have a very powerful spirit. 1030 00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,208 People have very powerful emotional self, 1031 00:41:01,208 --> 00:41:03,010 a very powerful mental self. 1032 00:41:03,010 --> 00:41:06,430 These unseen invisible extra sensory components 1033 00:41:06,430 --> 00:41:11,020 of self that exist beyond the parameters of the five senses 1034 00:41:11,020 --> 00:41:14,200 are the missing link to human greatness. 1035 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,050 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1036 00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:21,600 So there's two types of medicine, prevention, 1037 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,710 intervention. 1038 00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:26,550 When it comes to acute disease, trauma, accidents, 1039 00:41:26,550 --> 00:41:28,770 interventive medicine is essential. 1040 00:41:28,770 --> 00:41:30,270 When it comes to chronic disease, 1041 00:41:30,270 --> 00:41:33,420 chronic ailments, the expression of genetic weaknesses, 1042 00:41:33,420 --> 00:41:36,870 et cetera, that's where holistic medicine shines. 1043 00:41:36,870 --> 00:41:40,960 Every disease has a causal route, every disease. 1044 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,960 Inflammation is going to push the buttons. 1045 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,170 Stress and tension's going to push the buttons. 1046 00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:46,890 Trauma is going to push the buttons. 1047 00:41:46,890 --> 00:41:48,540 Any of those circumstances, they're 1048 00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:50,868 capable of triggering a lot of those genetic realities. 1049 00:41:50,868 --> 00:41:53,160 >> Most people have been programmed with a belief about 1050 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:53,940 genetics. 1051 00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:55,773 And in that science, we talk about something 1052 00:41:55,773 --> 00:41:59,370 called genetic control, that the genes control 1053 00:41:59,370 --> 00:42:00,660 our physical traits. 1054 00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:02,670 But then we also went on to say that genes 1055 00:42:02,670 --> 00:42:05,350 control our behaviors and emotions as well. 1056 00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:06,930 And that leads to an understanding 1057 00:42:06,930 --> 00:42:09,155 that we are victims of our heredity. 1058 00:42:09,155 --> 00:42:10,530 Whatever is running in my family, 1059 00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:14,050 I can anticipate that I shall likely express that as well. 1060 00:42:14,050 --> 00:42:15,870 In contrast, there's a revolution. 1061 00:42:15,870 --> 00:42:18,690 And the Scientific Revolution is based on a science called 1062 00:42:18,690 --> 00:42:19,860 epigenetics. 1063 00:42:19,860 --> 00:42:22,140 "Epi" means above. 1064 00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:23,430 And I say, what's the above? 1065 00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:25,020 I said, well, the environment. 1066 00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:26,850 But then all of a sudden, I say, yes, 1067 00:42:26,850 --> 00:42:30,810 but between the environment and ourselves is a mind. 1068 00:42:30,810 --> 00:42:33,780 And so the mind not just reads the environment, 1069 00:42:33,780 --> 00:42:35,970 but it also provides an interpretation 1070 00:42:35,970 --> 00:42:38,430 of that environment based on our programming and learning 1071 00:42:38,430 --> 00:42:39,720 experiences. 1072 00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,570 Epigenetics can change the readout of the genes 1073 00:42:42,570 --> 00:42:44,760 based on the signals from the environment. 1074 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,450 I can create over 3,000 different protein molecules 1075 00:42:48,450 --> 00:42:52,470 from the same blueprint based on epigenetic control mechanisms. 1076 00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:55,110 Since it's based on the environment and our perception 1077 00:42:55,110 --> 00:42:57,510 of the environment, those are things that we can control. 1078 00:42:57,510 --> 00:43:00,960 Genetics gave us the belief we were victims of heredity. 1079 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,260 And epigenetics turns the table, because epigenetics says, 1080 00:43:04,260 --> 00:43:07,050 we are masters of our genetic control. 1081 00:43:07,050 --> 00:43:09,300 Because we can control our perceptions, 1082 00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:11,730 and we can control our environment. 1083 00:43:11,730 --> 00:43:14,760 >> About 50 years ago, the field of psychoneuroimmunology 1084 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,900 didn't even exist. 1085 00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:17,910 Because in Western science, we didn't even 1086 00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:19,860 believe that our mind and our emotions 1087 00:43:19,860 --> 00:43:21,480 could affect our physical health. 1088 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,220 But that has changed dramatically. 1089 00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:25,170 And over the last 50 years, we've 1090 00:43:25,170 --> 00:43:27,060 not only learned that the brain is 1091 00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:30,270 connected to the immune system and the hormonal system. 1092 00:43:30,270 --> 00:43:32,730 But our emotions affect us deeply. 1093 00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:37,420 >> More often than not, the root of disease is energetic. 1094 00:43:37,420 --> 00:43:41,350 It's emotional imbalances that cause physical sickness. 1095 00:43:41,350 --> 00:43:42,150 It's grief. 1096 00:43:42,150 --> 00:43:43,170 It's anxiety. 1097 00:43:43,170 --> 00:43:44,160 It's unresolved. 1098 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,900 So emotion that's unresolved puts us 1099 00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,030 in a stressed chemistry state that 1100 00:43:48,030 --> 00:43:51,180 triggers the psychosomatic response bridging 1101 00:43:51,180 --> 00:43:53,340 from immaterial to material. 1102 00:43:53,340 --> 00:43:55,470 The mind and the body are one thing. 1103 00:43:55,470 --> 00:43:57,180 They're one field of energy. 1104 00:43:57,180 --> 00:43:59,890 And there's more chemistry that's produced in your brain 1105 00:43:59,890 --> 00:44:01,920 than there is in the downtown pharmacy. 1106 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,410 As we think, so does our body go. 1107 00:44:04,410 --> 00:44:07,080 >> The nervous system is perception, 1108 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,700 reading the environment. 1109 00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:11,400 But the mind is an interpretation 1110 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,540 of the perception. 1111 00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:15,330 When the brain interprets through the mind 1112 00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:17,220 that this is a stress, it's usually 1113 00:44:17,220 --> 00:44:19,710 time to engage what is called fight or flight. 1114 00:44:19,710 --> 00:44:20,895 I got to get out of here. 1115 00:44:20,895 --> 00:44:22,770 I've got to save my life, or I got to engage. 1116 00:44:22,770 --> 00:44:23,880 I got to do something. 1117 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,220 I say, that engagement involves arms and legs. 1118 00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:29,880 When we're at rest and at peace, the blood flow 1119 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,200 is principally into the viscera and into the head, where 1120 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,450 we nourish the organs that keep us healthy, 1121 00:44:36,450 --> 00:44:39,210 maintain our bodies, and just watchdog of how 1122 00:44:39,210 --> 00:44:40,650 the system is working. 1123 00:44:40,650 --> 00:44:42,690 Stress hormones cause the blood vessels 1124 00:44:42,690 --> 00:44:44,400 in the gut to squeeze shut. 1125 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,050 That pushes the blood to the outside. 1126 00:44:46,050 --> 00:44:47,820 So it shuts off maintenance of the body. 1127 00:44:47,820 --> 00:44:51,598 The immune system is one of the most energy using systems 1128 00:44:51,598 --> 00:44:52,890 in the body, when it's working. 1129 00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:56,460 Stress hormones shut down the immune system 1130 00:44:56,460 --> 00:44:58,030 to conserve energy. 1131 00:44:58,030 --> 00:45:00,210 So we can use that energy for fight or flight 1132 00:45:00,210 --> 00:45:02,010 from the exterior threat. 1133 00:45:02,010 --> 00:45:04,590 And then there's the last one, which I always call insult 1134 00:45:04,590 --> 00:45:06,450 to injury, because the blood vessels 1135 00:45:06,450 --> 00:45:10,020 in the forebrain conscious area squeeze shut. 1136 00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:12,210 That pushes the blood to the hindbrain 1137 00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:16,450 which is reaction, reflex, no thinking, response. 1138 00:45:16,450 --> 00:45:18,632 And so the three effects of the stress hormone 1139 00:45:18,632 --> 00:45:20,340 shutting down the growth the maintenance, 1140 00:45:20,340 --> 00:45:24,090 shutting down the immune system, and it shuts down intelligence. 1141 00:45:24,090 --> 00:45:28,290 Because thinking is too slow in an emergency response. 1142 00:45:28,290 --> 00:45:31,980 In today's world, stress is 24/7, 365. 1143 00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:34,530 We were never physiologically designed 1144 00:45:34,530 --> 00:45:36,550 to have that interference with growth 1145 00:45:36,550 --> 00:45:38,280 and the immune system and intelligence 1146 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,940 for long periods of time. 1147 00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:42,300 So now, it turns out up to 90% of illness 1148 00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:45,000 on this planet is directly connected to stress. 1149 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,409 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1150 00:45:50,002 --> 00:45:52,460 >> All the while, while we're being raised and we're moving 1151 00:45:52,460 --> 00:45:54,470 through our earlier period in life, 1152 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:58,900 there's a soul that's observing silently all of our life 1153 00:45:58,900 --> 00:46:00,880 process. 1154 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,220 We touch upon it from time to time. 1155 00:46:03,220 --> 00:46:05,560 We get closer and then further away. 1156 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,260 The challenge is to lock into it, 1157 00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:12,640 to identify with it as source, as true self. 1158 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,730 We have a conscious mind that processes 2,000 1159 00:46:15,730 --> 00:46:17,630 bits of information per second. 1160 00:46:17,630 --> 00:46:21,520 We have a subconscious mind the process is 400 billion bits 1161 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,990 of information per second. 1162 00:46:22,990 --> 00:46:25,140 The conscious mind is in the moment 1163 00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:27,320 and thinking about life, solving problems. 1164 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,560 The subconscious remembers everything. 1165 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,633 You

1168 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,800 in your subconscious mind. 1169 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,210 Super conscious is entirely different. 1170 00:46:41,210 --> 00:46:43,780 It's referred to spiritually as the Atman or the Brahman. 1171 00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:45,730 It's higher thought. 1172 00:46:45,730 --> 00:46:46,690 It's elevated thought. 1173 00:46:46,690 --> 00:46:48,340 It's the limitless thought. 1174 00:46:48,340 --> 00:46:51,100 To attain that higher consciousness 1175 00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:54,080 is, ironically, a matter of doing less not doing more. 1176 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,710 We can develop and become aware of super consciousness 1177 00:46:56,710 --> 00:47:01,150 through a lot of meditation, prayer, going within ourselves, 1178 00:47:01,150 --> 00:47:03,880 operating at a deeper level beyond our mundane level 1179 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:04,840 of consciousness. 1180 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,490 Most of us live in beta brainwave states, stress, 1181 00:47:07,490 --> 00:47:09,110 stress, stress. 1182 00:47:09,110 --> 00:47:11,960 Stress can be dealt with in a variety of different ways. 1183 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,190 One of the most important ways is deep meditation. 1184 00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:19,408 >> Meditation, prayer, yoga, dance, 1185 00:47:19,408 --> 00:47:20,950 there are a number of different ways. 1186 00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:24,310 But really, the key is simply to drop into an awareness 1187 00:47:24,310 --> 00:47:25,990 of the subtle. 1188 00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:28,570 In every moment, letting our minds quiet 1189 00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:33,050 and really allowing ourselves to feel deeply in our bodies. 1190 00:47:33,050 --> 00:47:35,910 >> You start to quiet the mind through meditation. 1191 00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:40,450 You move into the meditative state which is alpha. 1192 00:47:40,450 --> 00:47:42,440 And things start to slow down. 1193 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,742 When things slow down, possibilities open up. 1194 00:47:45,742 --> 00:47:47,200 You start to move closer and closer 1195 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,240 in the super conscious realm by calming 1196 00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,640 our nervous system at a deep, deep level 1197 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,290 by cultivating peace. 1198 00:47:53,290 --> 00:47:56,620 Cultivating peace means you don't embrace negativity. 1199 00:47:56,620 --> 00:47:58,030 You don't get stuck on it. 1200 00:47:58,030 --> 00:47:59,128 You move past it. 1201 00:47:59,128 --> 00:48:01,420 It's a question of whether you're controlling your mind 1202 00:48:01,420 --> 00:48:04,614 or your mind is controlling you. 1203 00:48:04,614 --> 00:48:07,560 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1204 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,030 >> My name is Elizabeth. 1205 00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:12,360 I, basically, just grew up a really sick kid. 1206 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,760 I was in and out of Children's Hospital multiple times 1207 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,920 per week for periods of time growing up, 1208 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,430 always had a cold, or some sort of virus, or a flu, 1209 00:48:20,430 --> 00:48:22,100 or scarlet fever, or mono. 1210 00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:27,450 I had prediabetes or was prediabetic, hypoglycemic. 1211 00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:29,590 When I was 18, I was a freshman in college. 1212 00:48:29,590 --> 00:48:33,960 I woke up one morning with debilitating pain, 1213 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,550 like truly debilitating. 1214 00:48:35,550 --> 00:48:37,920 I went to the ER then and, eventually, 1215 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,460 after lots of tests, found out that I had pancreatitis. 1216 00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:44,670 Doctors were not sure why at first. 1217 00:48:44,670 --> 00:48:46,800 They did more tests and tried to figure it out. 1218 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,410 And eventually, they found out that I had an atypical form 1219 00:48:49,410 --> 00:48:50,820 of cystic fibrosis. 1220 00:48:50,820 --> 00:48:53,760 I just read a lot of stuff about typical cystic fibrosis 1221 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:59,130 and how life expectancy can be very young, mid-30s, younger. 1222 00:48:59,130 --> 00:49:02,950 That was just, I would say, a tough time in general 1223 00:49:02,950 --> 00:49:05,550 starting to think about these things so young 1224 00:49:05,550 --> 00:49:07,840 and wondering what was going to happen in the future. 1225 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,190 Another doctor that was really significant during this time 1226 00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:12,688 was my GI. 1227 00:49:12,688 --> 00:49:14,730 I remember one of the first questions I asked him 1228 00:49:14,730 --> 00:49:16,410 after I got diagnosed. 1229 00:49:16,410 --> 00:49:18,210 Will I still be able to study abroad? 1230 00:49:18,210 --> 00:49:19,350 Is this still possible? 1231 00:49:19,350 --> 00:49:22,440 And I was all excited, and he paused. 1232 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:23,940 And I remember he looked down at me, 1233 00:49:23,940 --> 00:49:27,120 and he was like, we'll try our hardest to get you over there. 1234 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,490 I just realized this is serious. 1235 00:49:30,490 --> 00:49:32,340 My mom made an appointment for me 1236 00:49:32,340 --> 00:49:35,920 with Dr. Mincolla who was recommended to her by a family 1237 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:36,720 friend of ours. 1238 00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:39,200 My mom and I came prepared with my massive file. 1239 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,700 And I remember being like, do you want to see my blood work? 1240 00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:44,070 And he was like, no, I don't need any of that. 1241 00:49:44,070 --> 00:49:48,120 >> Elizabeth was a little bit of two different issues converged. 1242 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,230 Her pancreatitis, of course, had a lot to do with carbohydrates, 1243 00:49:52,230 --> 00:49:56,110 starches, sugars, processed foods. 1244 00:49:56,110 --> 00:49:59,550 I think that her atypical cystic fibrosis 1245 00:49:59,550 --> 00:50:02,250 is more correlated with a lot of the stress that she was under, 1246 00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:04,230 as well as her diet, which had to be 1247 00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,300 largely an anti-inflammatory diet as well. 1248 00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:07,740 >> He gave me a list of foods. 1249 00:50:07,740 --> 00:50:09,990 And he said, basically, eat these foods 1250 00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:11,727 and don't eat these foods. 1251 00:50:11,727 --> 00:50:13,560 Because these foods react well to your body, 1252 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,120 and these foods don't right now. 1253 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,800 The things he was telling me to cut out 1254 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,730 were things like wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, corn, yeast, 1255 00:50:20,730 --> 00:50:22,420 vinegar, nuts, seeds. 1256 00:50:22,420 --> 00:50:23,220 Yeah. 1257 00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:27,240 We walked out, I think, unsure if I was really 1258 00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:30,930 going to stick to his protocol and if it was really 1259 00:50:30,930 --> 00:50:32,320 going to work. 1260 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:37,350 And then oddly enough, I woke up the next morning 1261 00:50:37,350 --> 00:50:42,060 with pancreatitis and had to go to the hospital. 1262 00:50:42,060 --> 00:50:47,760 I realized in a big way that I have a pretty high level 1263 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,130 of responsibility when it comes to my health 1264 00:50:50,130 --> 00:50:54,960 and decided to follow Dr. Mincolla's recommendations 1265 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,250 to a T. Once I got a ways into following the protocol, 1266 00:50:59,250 --> 00:51:03,180 realizing that I could get healthy and was getting healthy 1267 00:51:03,180 --> 00:51:06,660 and was healthy, it really made me realize that I and we have 1268 00:51:06,660 --> 00:51:09,120 the capacity to heal ourselves. 1269 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,400 I was like, why is not everybody shouting this 1270 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,480 from the rooftops? 1271 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,820 All this time, my body was trying to talk to me. 1272 00:51:14,820 --> 00:51:16,860 It was almost like it spoke a language 1273 00:51:16,860 --> 00:51:18,750 that I didn't understand. 1274 00:51:18,750 --> 00:51:23,370 It suddenly opened up all of this space 1275 00:51:23,370 --> 00:51:25,680 to explore other things. 1276 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,930 Like, how can I become even healthier? 1277 00:51:27,930 --> 00:51:30,840 And how can I not only make my body healthy, but how 1278 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,840 can I make sure my mind and my spirit are healthy? 1279 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,140 >> We worked spiritually with her quite a bit, 1280 00:51:37,140 --> 00:51:40,530 trying to get her to understand that she didn't have to carry 1281 00:51:40,530 --> 00:51:44,310 her stress in a daily nervous system that was piqued. 1282 00:51:44,310 --> 00:51:46,740 A lot of people just don't edit their stress. 1283 00:51:46,740 --> 00:51:47,710 They carry it. 1284 00:51:47,710 --> 00:51:49,335 And I think that we talked to her a lot 1285 00:51:49,335 --> 00:51:51,240 about changing her whole chemistry 1286 00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,130 at an emotional and a mental level as well 1287 00:51:53,130 --> 00:51:55,500 and not accepting that stress. 1288 00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:58,470 >> Eventually, a couple of years later, really, 1289 00:51:58,470 --> 00:52:03,210 I did look back and realize I'm living the way that I was told 1290 00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:04,470 I wouldn't be able to live. 1291 00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:07,860 I think that moment happened while I was studying abroad. 1292 00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:10,680 You could say, maybe proving my GI doctor wrong 1293 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,920 who seemed to not have a lot of faith in the possibility of me 1294 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,032 going over there. 1295 00:52:15,032 --> 00:52:16,740 The biggest thing that this whole journey 1296 00:52:16,740 --> 00:52:18,750 has given me and seeing Dr. Mincolla 1297 00:52:18,750 --> 00:52:22,620 has given me is a new relationship with myself 1298 00:52:22,620 --> 00:52:25,560 and the way that I interact with myself. 1299 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:30,420 There is some level, I believe, of the divine in all of us. 1300 00:52:30,420 --> 00:52:35,400 I think we're here to recognize that in each other. 1301 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:40,400 >> Emptiness, clarity, openness, flow is the direction we need 1302 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,500 to start operating our minds in and to understand that we can 1303 00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:46,600 apply it to making miracles. 1304 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,360 Miracles are exceptional. 1305 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,530 They're extraordinary. 1306 00:52:49,530 --> 00:52:52,750 In order to produce extraordinary possibilities, 1307 00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:55,080 we need to use our extraordinary machinery. 1308 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,455 There's nothing more powerful than the super conscious mind. 1309 00:52:58,455 --> 00:53:01,710 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1310 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,680 >> Regeneration is inherent in all life. 1311 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,970 And this enables the ability to recover from diseases, wounds, 1312 00:53:10,970 --> 00:53:12,320 and injuries. 1313 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,670 We have it, of course. 1314 00:53:13,670 --> 00:53:16,290 In wound healing, you get a cut or a scratch, 1315 00:53:16,290 --> 00:53:17,990 and it heals itself. 1316 00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:19,100 The skin heals up. 1317 00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:25,040 >> The human body is actually not a thing but a process. 1318 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:31,460 And it's a process of recycling. 1319 00:53:31,460 --> 00:53:33,920 >> The blood is being regenerated all the time. 1320 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,380 And the intestinal lining and the skin 1321 00:53:36,380 --> 00:53:38,460 is continually being replaced. 1322 00:53:38,460 --> 00:53:41,510 So this ability to heal and regenerate 1323 00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:44,180 is just intrinsic to the very nature of life. 1324 00:53:44,180 --> 00:53:46,250 Humans were healing and regenerating 1325 00:53:46,250 --> 00:53:49,130 and recovering from diseases long before doctors 1326 00:53:49,130 --> 00:53:51,350 came along or even shamans. 1327 00:53:51,350 --> 00:53:54,170 In fact, everything that is alive on the planet today 1328 00:53:54,170 --> 00:53:56,090 has had ancestors that have survived 1329 00:53:56,090 --> 00:53:57,530 for several billion years. 1330 00:53:57,530 --> 00:54:00,080 Otherwise, none of us would be here. 1331 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,340 So we rely on this intrinsic healing capacity of the body. 1332 00:54:04,340 --> 00:54:06,800 And the healing capacity is influenced 1333 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,660 by nutrition, the environment. 1334 00:54:09,660 --> 00:54:13,070 It's also influenced by emotional and mental factors. 1335 00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:16,310 >> Your consciousness is translating your experiences 1336 00:54:16,310 --> 00:54:17,240 into chemistry. 1337 00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:18,980 And that chemistry could be chemistry 1338 00:54:18,980 --> 00:54:20,870 that supports health or chemistry that 1339 00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:22,010 supports protection. 1340 00:54:22,010 --> 00:54:25,790 So we find ourselves in a mutual exclusive situation. 1341 00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:27,480 Am I in growth, or am I in protection? 1342 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,720 I say, well then, it's based where your thoughts are. 1343 00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:32,900 >> We've been very interested in the phenomenon of gratitude, 1344 00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:34,560 particularly in our cardiac patients. 1345 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,930 It's really been remarkable, in the sense of the literal power 1346 00:54:38,930 --> 00:54:41,870 when you help a person activate and engage 1347 00:54:41,870 --> 00:54:43,430 in some of these foundational-- 1348 00:54:43,430 --> 00:54:46,040 I consider them attributes of the soul itself-- 1349 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,980 and bring it more as a daily activity, and practice, 1350 00:54:48,980 --> 00:54:51,980 and perception in their life. 1351 00:54:51,980 --> 00:54:54,920 They change spiritually, get healthier, 1352 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,840 and depressed mood reduces. 1353 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,580 Their fatigue level reduces. 1354 00:54:58,580 --> 00:55:01,190 We've done a lot of blood work on these patients looking 1355 00:55:01,190 --> 00:55:03,770 at traditional biomarkers of cardiac function. 1356 00:55:03,770 --> 00:55:07,490 These go down dramatically, which normally doesn't happen. 1357 00:55:07,490 --> 00:55:10,220 But for example, we had a group of patients randomized 1358 00:55:10,220 --> 00:55:12,470 keeping a gratitude journal. 1359 00:55:12,470 --> 00:55:14,510 And we asked them every day, please 1360 00:55:14,510 --> 00:55:17,960 write down two or three things that you're grateful for. 1361 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,405 At the end of those eight weeks, the patients 1362 00:55:20,405 --> 00:55:22,280 who had been assigned to gratitude journaling 1363 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,410 had about a 24% reduction in the inflammatory load 1364 00:55:27,410 --> 00:55:28,640 as we measured it. 1365 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,490 And the patients who continued as usual care, 1366 00:55:31,490 --> 00:55:33,300 they either stayed the way they were, 1367 00:55:33,300 --> 00:55:36,190 or they got a little bit worse over those two month period. 1368 00:55:36,190 --> 00:55:37,880 So this is very powerful. 1369 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,060 >> When we're feeling things like compassion, love, 1370 00:55:41,060 --> 00:55:44,210 gratitude, kindness, we naturally go into more heart 1371 00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:46,550 coherence, which is, if you look at it on the graph, 1372 00:55:46,550 --> 00:55:48,800 it's a sine wave looking rhythm. 1373 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,690 But to have that rhythmic pattern 1374 00:55:50,690 --> 00:55:54,080 means a lot of beneficial things had to go on inside of our body 1375 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,570 for that to occur. 1376 00:55:55,570 --> 00:55:57,885 It's reflecting not only increased synchronization 1377 00:55:57,885 --> 00:55:59,510 within the different parts of our brain 1378 00:55:59,510 --> 00:56:01,700 and nervous system but synchronization 1379 00:56:01,700 --> 00:56:03,260 between our blood pressure rhythms, 1380 00:56:03,260 --> 00:56:05,360 our heart rhythms, our respiratory rhythms. 1381 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,750 The heart and brain, they get measurably more synchronized. 1382 00:56:08,750 --> 00:56:10,790 So it's we now know many hundreds of studies 1383 00:56:10,790 --> 00:56:12,470 later that this is an optimal state. 1384 00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:16,340 When you're feeling frustrated, or anxious, or overwhelmed, 1385 00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:19,520 or these types of feelings, the heart's rhythm, 1386 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,950 the pattern of it becomes very chaotic looking. 1387 00:56:21,950 --> 00:56:25,730 So that is literally reflecting a lack of synchronized activity 1388 00:56:25,730 --> 00:56:27,570 within the brain and nervous system. 1389 00:56:27,570 --> 00:56:29,153 And I think that's why a lot of people 1390 00:56:29,153 --> 00:56:30,440 call them negative emotions. 1391 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,420 >> And when people are depressed, 1392 00:56:32,420 --> 00:56:35,700 and that's a common feature typically of cardiac disease, 1393 00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:39,330 depression itself tends to be a phenomenon of contraction 1394 00:56:39,330 --> 00:56:40,130 in the world. 1395 00:56:40,130 --> 00:56:42,830 People feel more and more isolated. 1396 00:56:42,830 --> 00:56:46,100 But gratitude as a practice is an opening. 1397 00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:48,500 It's a willingness and a reopening out 1398 00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:50,070 to the world around them. 1399 00:56:50,070 --> 00:56:51,933 And that's what the patients would report. 1400 00:56:51,933 --> 00:56:53,600 >> While we talked about what fear does, 1401 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,660 releasing the stress hormones into the system that readjust 1402 00:56:56,660 --> 00:56:59,810 the physiology of the body, we also have to recognize that 1403 00:56:59,810 --> 00:57:03,530 love also releases chemistry but totally different chemistry 1404 00:57:03,530 --> 00:57:04,430 than fear. 1405 00:57:04,430 --> 00:57:06,470 Love releases wonderful chemicals 1406 00:57:06,470 --> 00:57:08,060 such as dopamine, pleasure. 1407 00:57:08,060 --> 00:57:09,620 We release vasopressin. 1408 00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:12,420 That makes the partners attractive to each other. 1409 00:57:12,420 --> 00:57:14,030 So that holds that bond. 1410 00:57:14,030 --> 00:57:16,290 The bonding is from oxytocin released 1411 00:57:16,290 --> 00:57:20,240 in love, which says, connect with this source of love. 1412 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,520 And growth hormone, and that name 1413 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,680 is, obviously, it causes a growth and maintenance 1414 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:25,640 of the system. 1415 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,520 Because love is the chemistry of health. 1416 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,450 Stress is the chemistry of protection. 1417 00:57:32,450 --> 00:57:35,630 So I say, well then, I'm changing the environment inside 1418 00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:37,680 based on the consciousness. 1419 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,770 >> The fundamental common element has to do with 1420 00:57:39,770 --> 00:57:41,000 connectivity. 1421 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,020 The average person lives a life of perceived separation 1422 00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:48,470 from other people in their environment, from the world 1423 00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:49,320 itself. 1424 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,460 And I think since that is a fundamental illusion, 1425 00:57:52,460 --> 00:57:55,490 the presence of that illusion in the person's psyche 1426 00:57:55,490 --> 00:57:58,730 is always a bit of a strain and a stress as the time goes on. 1427 00:57:58,730 --> 00:58:02,230 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1428 00:58:03,330 --> 00:58:05,430 >> The mind is not the brain. 1429 00:58:05,430 --> 00:58:09,560 The brain is a biological form that lives inside your skull. 1430 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,230 It's like a heart, a liver, a kidney, and a gallbladder. 1431 00:58:12,230 --> 00:58:15,950 But the mind is a very different property. 1432 00:58:15,950 --> 00:58:17,800 It's an infinite property. 1433 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,290 I always like to say that the brain is somewhere. 1434 00:58:21,290 --> 00:58:22,980 The mind is everywhere. 1435 00:58:22,980 --> 00:58:24,900 >> We have an understanding of consciousness, 1436 00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:27,050 which is controlling our biology, is in our head. 1437 00:58:27,050 --> 00:58:28,393 We put wires on a person's head. 1438 00:58:28,393 --> 00:58:29,810 It's called electroencephalograph. 1439 00:58:29,810 --> 00:58:31,332 I'm reading brain function. 1440 00:58:31,332 --> 00:58:32,540 I say, yeah, but where is it? 1441 00:58:32,540 --> 00:58:33,870 It's inside the head. 1442 00:58:33,870 --> 00:58:36,255 And electrical activity is conducted to the skin. 1443 00:58:36,255 --> 00:58:37,880 That's where the electrodes pick it up. 1444 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,300 There's a new device called magnetoencephalograph, not 1445 00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:43,250 EEG, MEG. 1446 00:58:43,250 --> 00:58:45,830 And this is mind blowing. 1447 00:58:45,830 --> 00:58:48,710 The probe doesn't touch the body at all. 1448 00:58:48,710 --> 00:58:50,360 The probe is out here. 1449 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,790 And they're reading the consciousness activity 1450 00:58:52,790 --> 00:58:54,140 of your brain. 1451 00:58:54,140 --> 00:58:55,490 Stop. 1452 00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:56,600 The point is this. 1453 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,210 Your thoughts are not contained in your head. 1454 00:58:59,210 --> 00:59:02,030 You are broadcasting your thoughts into the field. 1455 00:59:02,030 --> 00:59:04,160 >> Many of us have had experiences of being around 1456 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,680 someone, where we left feeling really charged up 1457 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:07,710 or the opposite. 1458 00:59:07,710 --> 00:59:08,930 We felt drained. 1459 00:59:08,930 --> 00:59:11,720 My emotions actually go beyond my skin. 1460 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,190 They affect others. 1461 00:59:13,190 --> 00:59:16,610 My thoughts actually affect the field of energy around me 1462 00:59:16,610 --> 00:59:17,870 and can affect others. 1463 00:59:17,870 --> 00:59:20,327 >> When we're in the heart coherent state, loving, 1464 00:59:20,327 --> 00:59:22,910 compassionate, and kind states, there are several studies that 1465 00:59:22,910 --> 00:59:25,760 are now showing that that actually has a lifting effect 1466 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,840 on the others within our field. 1467 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,730 So our nervous systems seem to be exquisitely tuned 1468 00:59:31,730 --> 00:59:34,590 to the magnetic fields produced by other people. 1469 00:59:34,590 --> 00:59:36,980 >> Everything made out of energy is interconnected, 1470 00:59:36,980 --> 00:59:39,440 because energy has no barriers. 1471 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,170 That means everything in the universe 1472 00:59:42,170 --> 00:59:44,300 is part of the same energy. 1473 00:59:44,300 --> 00:59:45,920 And that means no separation. 1474 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,250 >> Ancient medical systems were based on spiritual traditions 1475 00:59:49,250 --> 00:59:53,090 that understood the interconnection between spirit, 1476 00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:57,110 Earth, the elements, our bodies, and our emotions. 1477 00:59:57,110 --> 00:59:58,870 They are all connected. 1478 00:59:58,870 --> 01:00:01,530 Now, this may seem really like, how does that work? 1479 01:00:01,530 --> 01:00:04,130 But basically, they had worked out these systems really well. 1480 01:00:04,130 --> 01:00:07,250 And what we experience as pain, depression, 1481 01:00:07,250 --> 01:00:09,530 is really due to a lack of harmony 1482 01:00:09,530 --> 01:00:11,480 within ourselves and our environment. 1483 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:11,750 Right? 1484 01:00:11,750 --> 01:00:13,760 So it's really based on a different cosmology. 1485 01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,950 From a biofield point of view, the biofield 1486 01:00:15,950 --> 01:00:17,810 is basically giving us information 1487 01:00:17,810 --> 01:00:21,180 about our sense of harmony with ourselves and our environment. 1488 01:00:21,180 --> 01:00:23,990 So when acupuncturists talk about stuck energy, 1489 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:26,390 or an energy healer says, you've got 1490 01:00:26,390 --> 01:00:28,280 energy stuck in a particular chakra 1491 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,530 or a meridian, what they're talking about 1492 01:00:30,530 --> 01:00:33,110 is an imbalance in the system that needs 1493 01:00:33,110 --> 01:00:34,730 to be moving towards harmony. 1494 01:00:34,730 --> 01:00:38,090 And so the more we pay attention to these subtle aspects 1495 01:00:38,090 --> 01:00:41,240 of being, the energetic feelings that we get from everything 1496 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,440 around us, from our emotions, our thoughts, 1497 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,925 our interactions, the more we're realizing we're not separate. 1498 01:00:46,925 --> 01:00:50,138 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1499 01:00:52,090 --> 01:00:55,570 >> My name is Diane, and I've been a patient of Mark Mincolla 1500 01:00:55,570 --> 01:00:56,830 for 36 years. 1501 01:00:56,830 --> 01:01:02,080 One of the main issues that we addressed during those 36 years 1502 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,730 was my being an addict. 1503 01:01:03,730 --> 01:01:06,640 I gave up alcohol when I was 26. 1504 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,040 And I went on to bigger and better things, 1505 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,090 thinking nothing. 1506 01:01:10,090 --> 01:01:12,070 I didn't even think I was an addict, really. 1507 01:01:12,070 --> 01:01:13,560 And I'm in the music business. 1508 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,450 So in the '70s, cocaine was it. 1509 01:01:16,450 --> 01:01:18,010 It was great to have it. 1510 01:01:18,010 --> 01:01:19,780 I was powerful. 1511 01:01:19,780 --> 01:01:21,760 I could give it to everybody and celebrate. 1512 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,910 And I was told that it was not an addictive drug. 1513 01:01:24,910 --> 01:01:26,570 That's not true. 1514 01:01:26,570 --> 01:01:29,920 And for the next eight years after I started, 1515 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,520 it was pretty much a living hell. 1516 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:32,320 I functioned. 1517 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:33,310 I worked. 1518 01:01:33,310 --> 01:01:35,800 I did all the things you do, but spiritually, I 1519 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,240 was just getting broken down. 1520 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:38,590 I was going to a therapist. 1521 01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:40,490 I was very messed up. 1522 01:01:40,490 --> 01:01:42,250 And I didn't feel well physically. 1523 01:01:42,250 --> 01:01:46,720 And he said, there's only one person I know for you to go to. 1524 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,550 And I was so desperate I didn't care who it 1525 01:01:48,550 --> 01:01:50,440 was at that moment I thought. 1526 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,930 And then I walked into his office. 1527 01:01:52,930 --> 01:01:55,600 And I left saying, I'm not going back there. 1528 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,580 He's just not a good fit for me. 1529 01:01:57,580 --> 01:01:59,020 He's too arrogant. 1530 01:01:59,020 --> 01:02:00,290 So I'm back to therapy. 1531 01:02:00,290 --> 01:02:02,930 And I progressively got worse, mentally, physically, 1532 01:02:02,930 --> 01:02:03,830 spiritually. 1533 01:02:03,830 --> 01:02:07,390 And the physical aspect was getting horrible. 1534 01:02:07,390 --> 01:02:10,475 And the therapist said, I can't help you 1535 01:02:10,475 --> 01:02:12,100 if you don't want to see Mark Mincolla. 1536 01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:13,420 You got to go. 1537 01:02:13,420 --> 01:02:15,230 And I walked in. 1538 01:02:15,230 --> 01:02:17,570 And I told him I didn't like him. 1539 01:02:17,570 --> 01:02:20,190 I told him I thought he was arrogant 1540 01:02:20,190 --> 01:02:21,500 but that I was desperate. 1541 01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:24,290 And I needed someone to help me, and I sat there with my arms 1542 01:02:24,290 --> 01:02:27,770 like this the whole time in fighting mode. 1543 01:02:27,770 --> 01:02:29,450 And he looked at me at one point, 1544 01:02:29,450 --> 01:02:33,290 and he said, I'm here for you forever, 1545 01:02:33,290 --> 01:02:34,752 whatever, doesn't matter. 1546 01:02:34,752 --> 01:02:36,210 You can be whoever, because I said, 1547 01:02:36,210 --> 01:02:38,030 I'm not giving up cocaine. 1548 01:02:38,030 --> 01:02:39,490 He said, that's OK. 1549 01:02:39,490 --> 01:02:40,290 That's OK. 1550 01:02:40,290 --> 01:02:42,440 I'm here for you, and that was it. 1551 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,140 >> So when a patient like Diane comes in and sees me, 1552 01:02:45,140 --> 01:02:48,740 I just made it my number one obligation not to go to her 1553 01:02:48,740 --> 01:02:50,567 spirit but to go to my soul. 1554 01:02:50,567 --> 01:02:53,150 Because if I go to your spirit, I'm going to go down with you. 1555 01:02:53,150 --> 01:02:54,900 Part of the reason energy is contagious is 1556 01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:58,250 because you're coming from a place that's not source. 1557 01:02:58,250 --> 01:03:00,208 So the person that's with you is not in source. 1558 01:03:00,208 --> 01:03:01,008 Guess what? 1559 01:03:01,008 --> 01:03:02,660 You're not going to be in source. 1560 01:03:02,660 --> 01:03:05,400 So by the same token, Diane comes in. 1561 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,730 She's in broken-spirited mode. 1562 01:03:07,730 --> 01:03:09,240 I'm not going there. 1563 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:10,850 I'm going to my soul. 1564 01:03:10,850 --> 01:03:13,030 I'm going to ground both of us. 1565 01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:15,070 There's a contagion there that's more powerful. 1566 01:03:15,070 --> 01:03:17,450 >> When I went there, I strictly went there for physical 1567 01:03:17,450 --> 01:03:19,550 purposes I thought. 1568 01:03:19,550 --> 01:03:21,320 But there's something about him. 1569 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,040 When you walk in his office, he knows who you are, 1570 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,650 not your mind, not your story. 1571 01:03:27,650 --> 01:03:29,540 He knows the essence of your being, 1572 01:03:29,540 --> 01:03:31,520 and right away the healing starts. 1573 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,340 I was living thinking, well, I came from messed up background. 1574 01:03:35,340 --> 01:03:36,800 I blamed it on everybody. 1575 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,470 And I didn't know what the root of it was. 1576 01:03:39,470 --> 01:03:42,620 >> So self contempt is something that's been programmed 1577 01:03:42,620 --> 01:03:44,120 in our lives. 1578 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,790 We tend to feel shame, doubt. 1579 01:03:46,790 --> 01:03:50,180 We tend to feel negative feelings about the concept 1580 01:03:50,180 --> 01:03:53,510 of self being deserving. 1581 01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:56,570 I would say, I want you to picture yourself as a child. 1582 01:03:56,570 --> 01:03:59,420 Go home and search through all your photographs. 1583 01:03:59,420 --> 01:04:02,485 Find yourself as a five-year-old kid, a six-year-old kid. 1584 01:04:02,485 --> 01:04:04,610 And look at that picture that five or six-year-old, 1585 01:04:04,610 --> 01:04:06,710 and there's two things I wanted to look for, 1586 01:04:06,710 --> 01:04:09,410 deservedness and innocence. 1587 01:04:09,410 --> 01:04:13,850 After years and years of living in this world, 1588 01:04:13,850 --> 01:04:16,370 we tend to lose the innocence. 1589 01:04:16,370 --> 01:04:19,790 We tend to lose the sense of deservedness. 1590 01:04:19,790 --> 01:04:23,000 We associate our deservedness with our innocence. 1591 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,660 So can we associate deservedness with the loss of innocence? 1592 01:04:26,660 --> 01:04:28,100 That's extremely important. 1593 01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:30,730 And we forgive ourselves for growing up. 1594 01:04:30,730 --> 01:04:33,650 To really overcome dis-ease, we have 1595 01:04:33,650 --> 01:04:36,970 to be willing to embrace and forgive ourselves 1596 01:04:36,970 --> 01:04:42,370 for being adults and to love ourselves at a core level, 1597 01:04:42,370 --> 01:04:43,630 not at an ego level. 1598 01:04:43,630 --> 01:04:45,640 We don't want to love ourselves conditionally. 1599 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:46,930 And I'm not talking about loving yourself 1600 01:04:46,930 --> 01:04:48,130 because you won the lottery. 1601 01:04:48,130 --> 01:04:52,035 I'm talking about having a core love of that child that 1602 01:04:52,035 --> 01:04:53,410 was five and six years old that's 1603 01:04:53,410 --> 01:04:54,920 still living in your heart. 1604 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:59,170 >> He would do that work on me to go in and really nurture 1605 01:04:59,170 --> 01:05:00,260 myself. 1606 01:05:00,260 --> 01:05:03,730 So I was able to reflect on the kindness that I do have, 1607 01:05:03,730 --> 01:05:06,070 the tenderness, the love. 1608 01:05:06,070 --> 01:05:08,290 And all he wanted me to do was, instead of putting it 1609 01:05:08,290 --> 01:05:11,610 all on the outside, was to take it in and put it on the inside. 1610 01:05:11,610 --> 01:05:14,770 I got off the cocaine, didn't drink. 1611 01:05:14,770 --> 01:05:18,400 But sugar was the essence of an addiction 1612 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,350 that, again, I was a little kid. 1613 01:05:20,350 --> 01:05:21,370 I'm three years old. 1614 01:05:21,370 --> 01:05:22,390 I had a tooth pulled. 1615 01:05:22,390 --> 01:05:24,130 They gave me a lollipop. 1616 01:05:24,130 --> 01:05:25,005 I did something else. 1617 01:05:25,005 --> 01:05:25,805 I fell down. 1618 01:05:25,805 --> 01:05:27,010 A doctor gave me ice cream. 1619 01:05:27,010 --> 01:05:29,260 So for me, sugar was nurturing. 1620 01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,900 It was loving, and little did I know what 1621 01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:33,790 it was really doing to me also. 1622 01:05:33,790 --> 01:05:36,040 I was getting progressively sick again and just 1623 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,630 filled with mucus, to a point where 1624 01:05:37,630 --> 01:05:38,800 I thought I had pneumonia. 1625 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,970 It was horrible, and I lived like that. 1626 01:05:40,970 --> 01:05:42,100 And I thought I was dying. 1627 01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:43,475 And he kept saying, Diane, you've 1628 01:05:43,475 --> 01:05:44,908 got to give up the sugar. 1629 01:05:44,908 --> 01:05:45,950 You've got to give it up. 1630 01:05:45,950 --> 01:05:50,830 >> Addiction is compensation for hurt. 1631 01:05:50,830 --> 01:05:55,210 I have a hole in my heart that doesn't heal. 1632 01:05:55,210 --> 01:05:59,050 Addiction takes sugar, love, money, 1633 01:05:59,050 --> 01:06:01,450 whatever from the outside and attempts 1634 01:06:01,450 --> 01:06:04,720 to patch up that hole in the heart, which lasts 1635 01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:06,310 for a short period of time. 1636 01:06:06,310 --> 01:06:09,160 To heal the heart from the inside out 1637 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,950 is to occupy your own heart with your consciousness, 1638 01:06:12,950 --> 01:06:17,360 to venture and journey into your own heart, to admit the pain, 1639 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,642 to acknowledge the pain, to confront the pain, 1640 01:06:20,642 --> 01:06:25,300 to feel the pain all the way through. 1641 01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:27,610 >> That pain transformed things in me, 1642 01:06:27,610 --> 01:06:34,450 where I have been reconnecting with letting go of the fight. 1643 01:06:34,450 --> 01:06:36,790 >> Some people can be addicted to substances. 1644 01:06:36,790 --> 01:06:38,800 They can be addicted to behaviors. 1645 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,050 I think control is one of the most powerful addictions 1646 01:06:41,050 --> 01:06:42,050 that I see every day. 1647 01:06:42,050 --> 01:06:43,892 One of most powerful healing agents 1648 01:06:43,892 --> 01:06:45,850 is when people finally get clear about the fact 1649 01:06:45,850 --> 01:06:48,560 that, by letting go, they support flow and not 1650 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:49,360 resistance. 1651 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:50,500 >> I would cry a lot. 1652 01:06:50,500 --> 01:06:52,880 I would feel, and I didn't even want to feel. 1653 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,050 I certainly didn't want to cry in an office like that. 1654 01:06:56,050 --> 01:06:57,580 But that's his magic. 1655 01:06:57,580 --> 01:07:01,510 That's one of his magics that he can just penetrate the heart. 1656 01:07:01,510 --> 01:07:07,760 And eventually, I had a very profound spiritual experience. 1657 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,510 It just hit me between the eyeballs to get on my knees 1658 01:07:10,510 --> 01:07:11,590 and ask God for help. 1659 01:07:11,590 --> 01:07:12,430 And I gave up sugar. 1660 01:07:12,430 --> 01:07:15,610 I haven't had sugar, other than some fruit, 1661 01:07:15,610 --> 01:07:18,250 in eight or 10 years, which is a miracle. 1662 01:07:18,250 --> 01:07:21,910 I knew I could go somewhere where somebody unconditionally 1663 01:07:21,910 --> 01:07:26,260 cared about me and was willing to hold the space until I 1664 01:07:26,260 --> 01:07:27,580 caught up with it. 1665 01:07:27,580 --> 01:07:29,560 If I didn't have Mark Mincolla in my life, 1666 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,720 and I just went to a psychiatrist, a regular one, 1667 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,450 or I went to a regular doctor-- 1668 01:07:34,450 --> 01:07:35,500 not putting them down. 1669 01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:38,450 Everybody has their purpose, but in my life, 1670 01:07:38,450 --> 01:07:41,070 I don't think I'd be here today. 1671 01:07:41,070 --> 01:07:44,030 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1672 01:07:44,830 --> 01:07:49,900 >> We misidentify with a persona, a mask. 1673 01:07:49,900 --> 01:07:55,120 The actors in ancient Greek drama, or tragedy, or comedy, 1674 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,920 they were wearing masks. 1675 01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,350 As an actor, we wear a mask. 1676 01:07:59,350 --> 01:08:02,140 Let me propose that, as human beings, 1677 01:08:02,140 --> 01:08:06,340 we are aware what is known as human nature. 1678 01:08:06,340 --> 01:08:08,710 It's a mask. 1679 01:08:08,710 --> 01:08:12,430 When you take it off, that mask, what is behind? 1680 01:08:12,430 --> 01:08:14,680 >> We're programmed in this culture and in the Western 1681 01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:18,910 world to believe that self is a personality with an ego. 1682 01:08:18,910 --> 01:08:22,090 And self is all about value that has 1683 01:08:22,090 --> 01:08:24,939 to do with performance at a certain level, I guess I'd say. 1684 01:08:24,939 --> 01:08:27,260 And having a doctoral degree in health, 1685 01:08:27,260 --> 01:08:30,015 all these things make me more attractive to myself. 1686 01:08:30,015 --> 01:08:31,390 But if I don't have those things, 1687 01:08:31,390 --> 01:08:32,848 or if I lose those things, then I'm 1688 01:08:32,848 --> 01:08:37,075 certainly not worth my own love, and attention, and care. 1689 01:08:37,075 --> 01:08:38,200 And I'm not feeling loving. 1690 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:39,242 I'm not feeling complete. 1691 01:08:39,242 --> 01:08:41,069 I'm not feeling whole. 1692 01:08:41,069 --> 01:08:44,020 So I think it starts with a re-identification of self, 1693 01:08:44,020 --> 01:08:46,420 not as an ego, not as a personality, 1694 01:08:46,420 --> 01:08:49,160 not as a cellular being but as a soul. 1695 01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,500 It's much easier to love a soul than it is an ego. 1696 01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:54,500 A lot of people that I counsel get in their own way 1697 01:08:54,500 --> 01:08:55,779 and don't really know it. 1698 01:08:55,779 --> 01:08:57,670 They're not totally aware of it, but there's 1699 01:08:57,670 --> 01:08:58,930 a lack of faith in self. 1700 01:08:58,930 --> 01:09:02,050 There's a lack of love in self, a lack of belief in self, 1701 01:09:02,050 --> 01:09:04,310 a lack of willingness to accept power. 1702 01:09:04,310 --> 01:09:05,560 It kind of intimidates people. 1703 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:06,740 Little old me having power? 1704 01:09:06,740 --> 01:09:08,498 I don't know if I trust that. 1705 01:09:08,498 --> 01:09:09,790 I don't know if I deserve that. 1706 01:09:09,790 --> 01:09:11,890 >> The fundamental thing that, really, 1707 01:09:11,890 --> 01:09:15,670 all healers say that really is the common denominator of what 1708 01:09:15,670 --> 01:09:17,229 healing is, it's not about curing. 1709 01:09:17,229 --> 01:09:19,104 It's not about ridding ourselves of something 1710 01:09:19,104 --> 01:09:20,200 that we don't want. 1711 01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:24,100 It's turning towards that which causes us suffering and holding 1712 01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:25,604 it in a space of love. 1713 01:09:25,604 --> 01:09:26,979 And what they're doing is helping 1714 01:09:26,979 --> 01:09:29,470 us open to that space of love. 1715 01:09:29,470 --> 01:09:33,250 And fundamentally, it's for us to love ourselves. 1716 01:09:33,250 --> 01:09:35,200 Because everything in the outside world 1717 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,870 is a reflection of our inside world. 1718 01:09:37,870 --> 01:09:40,450 >> Healing in part on the level of the mind is to be able 1719 01:09:40,450 --> 01:09:43,930 to have a deeper understanding of the expansiveness of our own 1720 01:09:43,930 --> 01:09:45,200 nature. 1721 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:49,029 There's a field of what's called transpersonal psychology, which 1722 01:09:49,029 --> 01:09:52,750 endeavors to understand the different features and times 1723 01:09:52,750 --> 01:09:54,910 when that phenomenon can occur. 1724 01:09:54,910 --> 01:09:57,970 If a person has this belief that they are their thoughts 1725 01:09:57,970 --> 01:10:00,460 or some specifics of their environment, 1726 01:10:00,460 --> 01:10:03,130 and something happens, whether it's a beautiful sunset, 1727 01:10:03,130 --> 01:10:05,800 for example, where they just go a little bit 1728 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,250 beyond that current identity they believe themselves to be. 1729 01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:10,765 And they find there's something. 1730 01:10:10,765 --> 01:10:13,090 They're a little bigger, or they encompass more 1731 01:10:13,090 --> 01:10:14,200 than they thought. 1732 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,240 That's a transpersonal phenomenon as it's called. 1733 01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,470 And so many realms of healing, I believe, 1734 01:10:20,470 --> 01:10:22,870 attempt to induce these effects. 1735 01:10:22,870 --> 01:10:25,120 >> We need to understand that we're capable of tapping 1736 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,620 into an inner self. 1737 01:10:26,620 --> 01:10:30,200 It's a higher self emanating from the soul 1738 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,910 self, a higher self more than capable of performing miracles. 1739 01:10:33,910 --> 01:10:37,690 >> What is that invisible, formless, 1740 01:10:37,690 --> 01:10:46,730 infinite entity that knows itself as the experience that 1741 01:10:46,730 --> 01:10:49,790 we call the visible or the material? 1742 01:10:49,790 --> 01:10:51,110 What is that? 1743 01:10:51,110 --> 01:10:52,910 And do you know it? 1744 01:10:52,910 --> 01:10:56,450 Do you know who or what you are? 1745 01:10:56,450 --> 01:11:00,120 >> At the ego level, there's separation. 1746 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,070 There's compartmentalization. 1747 01:11:02,070 --> 01:11:05,520 It's a super conscious higher level, the Atman level, 1748 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:06,990 the Brahman level. 1749 01:11:06,990 --> 01:11:08,430 There's only one. 1750 01:11:08,430 --> 01:11:09,570 There's no more than one. 1751 01:11:09,570 --> 01:11:12,720 >> Healing is the return of the memory of wholeness from 1752 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:17,610 the fragmented mind to the whole mind and finding out that 1753 01:11:17,610 --> 01:11:21,000 you're a timeless being having a time bound experience. 1754 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,580 >> And the "Bhagavad Gita" talks about the soul that is 1755 01:11:23,580 --> 01:11:24,695 impervious. 1756 01:11:24,695 --> 01:11:25,820 The arrows can't pierce it. 1757 01:11:25,820 --> 01:11:26,940 The swords can't pierce it. 1758 01:11:26,940 --> 01:11:27,840 A spirit can be broken. 1759 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:28,890 The heart can be broken. 1760 01:11:28,890 --> 01:11:29,790 Body can be broken. 1761 01:11:29,790 --> 01:11:31,260 The mind can be broken. 1762 01:11:31,260 --> 01:11:32,310 The soul can't be broken. 1763 01:11:32,310 --> 01:11:36,370 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1764 01:11:36,370 --> 01:11:39,040 For four years, we planned this documentary. 1765 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,080 And to my mind, we were thinking in terms 1766 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,330 of bringing patients in that have 1767 01:11:43,330 --> 01:11:45,868 gone through remarkable miraculous recoveries. 1768 01:11:45,868 --> 01:11:47,410 I never dreamed for a minute that I'd 1769 01:11:47,410 --> 01:11:48,970 be involved in that process. 1770 01:11:48,970 --> 01:11:52,750 Unexpectedly, I contracted Lyme disease. 1771 01:11:52,750 --> 01:11:55,930 And lo and behold, it just pulled the legs out 1772 01:11:55,930 --> 01:11:57,110 from under me. 1773 01:11:57,110 --> 01:11:58,270 I lost my balance. 1774 01:11:58,270 --> 01:11:59,950 I started to have tremors. 1775 01:11:59,950 --> 01:12:01,240 I lost my strength. 1776 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,030 The pain was just indescribable. 1777 01:12:04,030 --> 01:12:06,682 And it was so difficult for me to contend with, 1778 01:12:06,682 --> 01:12:08,890 because it seemed to get worse, and worse, and worse, 1779 01:12:08,890 --> 01:12:10,150 and worse. 1780 01:12:10,150 --> 01:12:12,700 And it was worsening for four years. 1781 01:12:12,700 --> 01:12:15,255 So one night, I fell, hit my head. 1782 01:12:15,255 --> 01:12:18,410 And I was on the floor for 14 hours unable to move. 1783 01:12:18,410 --> 01:12:19,780 I was paralyzed. 1784 01:12:19,780 --> 01:12:24,520 To be isolated in your own mind not knowing to what extent 1785 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,300 you're paralyzed has a way of just isolating you 1786 01:12:28,300 --> 01:12:29,590 within your own soul. 1787 01:12:29,590 --> 01:12:33,820 There's talk about meditation being a process, where 1788 01:12:33,820 --> 01:12:40,400 you get into your core self in the form of pure consciousness, 1789 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,450 awareness not thought. 1790 01:12:42,450 --> 01:12:45,130 When I say, my soul self, I landed in this place 1791 01:12:45,130 --> 01:12:46,720 of pure awareness. 1792 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,420 I just wasn't able to think in that place which 1793 01:12:49,420 --> 01:12:51,070 is exactly what I needed. 1794 01:12:51,070 --> 01:12:56,200 There's a point at which we make a decision to live or die. 1795 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,960 It's where we can cross over the line. 1796 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,180 I'm convinced that our spirits can commit us 1797 01:13:01,180 --> 01:13:02,598 to the other side. 1798 01:13:02,598 --> 01:13:04,390 And at that point, I had to walk to the end 1799 01:13:04,390 --> 01:13:09,198 of my life in my mind and see who I was and what I wanted. 1800 01:13:09,198 --> 01:13:10,990 So I had to make a decision as to whether I 1801 01:13:10,990 --> 01:13:13,000 was willful about living or willful 1802 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,450 about not living anymore. 1803 01:13:14,450 --> 01:13:17,200 I went to the edge of that cliff, and I came back. 1804 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,068 And I finally was rescued off the floor. 1805 01:13:20,068 --> 01:13:21,610 There was a 10 day period where I was 1806 01:13:21,610 --> 01:13:22,780 unable to walk, unable to move. 1807 01:13:22,780 --> 01:13:24,310 I had to be carried to the bathroom, 1808 01:13:24,310 --> 01:13:26,200 because I didn't know that I'd ever get my walking back. 1809 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:27,992 I never knew that I'd get my strength back. 1810 01:13:27,992 --> 01:13:31,930 I thought I was permanently, perhaps, permanently paralyzed. 1811 01:13:31,930 --> 01:13:34,468 And that's a hell to live through, not knowing. 1812 01:13:34,468 --> 01:13:36,010 So I finally had gone to the hospital 1813 01:13:36,010 --> 01:13:37,660 and spent four days in a hospital 1814 01:13:37,660 --> 01:13:39,280 and then a week in a rehab. 1815 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:40,060 They weren't sure that I was going 1816 01:13:40,060 --> 01:13:41,200 to be able to walk either. 1817 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,690 Their determination was I wasn't going to get better. 1818 01:13:43,690 --> 01:13:47,080 I was going to stay the same or get worse progressively. 1819 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,990 My first week in the rehab hospital, I was in the gym 1820 01:13:49,990 --> 01:13:53,260 every day walking with walkers, doing 1821 01:13:53,260 --> 01:13:54,873 the exercises I was given. 1822 01:13:54,873 --> 01:13:57,040 And they were shocked at how much time I spent there 1823 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,230 and how hard I pushed. 1824 01:13:59,230 --> 01:14:02,450 I was determined to create my healing, 1825 01:14:02,450 --> 01:14:06,160 to energetically impose the most powerful energy 1826 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,300 that I could to heal. 1827 01:14:07,300 --> 01:14:09,560 To me, everything is energy. 1828 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:10,720 Energy is about frequency. 1829 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:11,950 It's about vibration. 1830 01:14:11,950 --> 01:14:14,620 In the truest sense, I believe that disease 1831 01:14:14,620 --> 01:14:16,420 begins with dis-ease. 1832 01:14:16,420 --> 01:14:18,220 The dis-ease in my life started long 1833 01:14:18,220 --> 01:14:20,200 before the symptoms of Lyme disease. 1834 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,450 And dis-ease begins with a certain level 1835 01:14:22,450 --> 01:14:24,250 of self ignorance. 1836 01:14:24,250 --> 01:14:27,430 There's a place deep within that has to be connected with, 1837 01:14:27,430 --> 01:14:30,840 that keeps us well, that keeps us from being dis-eased. 1838 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,280 And I found that place on the bathroom floor 1839 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,170 after about 14 hours. 1840 01:14:35,170 --> 01:14:39,640 Embracing miracles automatically insinuates 1841 01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,647 that you have to embrace the difficulty, the sickness, 1842 01:14:42,647 --> 01:14:44,230 the stress, the thing that brought you 1843 01:14:44,230 --> 01:14:45,700 to a potential miracle. 1844 01:14:45,700 --> 01:14:47,830 Holism is always happening, where 1845 01:14:47,830 --> 01:14:50,770 I was exposed to both sides of the universal process, yin 1846 01:14:50,770 --> 01:14:53,560 and yang, dark and light, pain and joy. 1847 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,170 We need to embrace the whole, and make a decision 1848 01:14:56,170 --> 01:15:00,783 to embrace wholeness as it is, not as we'd like it to be. 1849 01:15:00,783 --> 01:15:02,200 Part of my miracle recovery is all 1850 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:06,700 about being unified between mind and body, coming from the soul 1851 01:15:06,700 --> 01:15:09,280 and merging all parts of self and unity. 1852 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,630 I don't do anything against myself anymore. 1853 01:15:11,630 --> 01:15:14,420 Everything has to happen in flow. 1854 01:15:14,420 --> 01:15:16,420 There's a certain level of BS that we go through 1855 01:15:16,420 --> 01:15:18,033 in this world. 1856 01:15:18,033 --> 01:15:19,450 I had a lot less of that going on. 1857 01:15:19,450 --> 01:15:22,908 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1858 01:15:26,370 --> 01:15:28,380 >> Consciousness interacts with everything, 1859 01:15:28,380 --> 01:15:30,960 because consciousness is everything. 1860 01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:34,140 Because its very nature used to create. 1861 01:15:34,140 --> 01:15:37,030 We fall into the trap, our own trap. 1862 01:15:37,030 --> 01:15:38,080 It is our own trap. 1863 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:39,430 I want to emphasize that. 1864 01:15:39,430 --> 01:15:40,810 People say, no, it's not my trap. 1865 01:15:40,810 --> 01:15:41,140 You know? 1866 01:15:41,140 --> 01:15:42,160 Somebody created for me. 1867 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:43,070 My parents created. 1868 01:15:43,070 --> 01:15:43,870 OK. 1869 01:15:43,870 --> 01:15:46,100 Maybe somebody created for you. 1870 01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:48,220 But now, who are you? 1871 01:15:48,220 --> 01:15:51,160 You're repeating the trap of somebody, 1872 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,830 and ultimately, it is your own trap. 1873 01:15:53,830 --> 01:15:56,830 You are trapped by your own mind. 1874 01:15:56,830 --> 01:15:59,920 >> The baseline of our embracing of a reality, 1875 01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:02,650 at a cultural level, comes from our downloading, 1876 01:16:02,650 --> 01:16:03,550 our programming. 1877 01:16:03,550 --> 01:16:04,930 I'm not strong enough to make a miracle. 1878 01:16:04,930 --> 01:16:06,717 I'm not powerful enough to make a miracle. 1879 01:16:06,717 --> 01:16:08,050 Somebody else can make miracles. 1880 01:16:08,050 --> 01:16:08,990 I can't. 1881 01:16:08,990 --> 01:16:10,540 The Buddha can do that. 1882 01:16:10,540 --> 01:16:11,620 Jesus can do that. 1883 01:16:11,620 --> 01:16:12,560 Muhammad can do that. 1884 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,350 I can't do that. 1885 01:16:14,350 --> 01:16:16,800 That's a mistake. 1886 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,540 That's a big mistake. 1887 01:16:18,540 --> 01:16:20,610 Making a miracle is a possibility, 1888 01:16:20,610 --> 01:16:22,410 but it begins with seeing it. 1889 01:16:22,410 --> 01:16:26,160 It begins with accepting the possibility of being very real. 1890 01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,820 >> One of the aspects of that formless, nonlocal, 1891 01:16:29,820 --> 01:16:36,540 infinite being is that it can modify itself as intention. 1892 01:16:36,540 --> 01:16:41,770 So intention is inherent in consciousness. 1893 01:16:41,770 --> 01:16:43,798 >> So as a culture, we're at a place. 1894 01:16:43,798 --> 01:16:45,840 We've arrived at this place, where we desperately 1895 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,780 need to think in terms of possibilities, 1896 01:16:48,780 --> 01:16:51,540 infinite possibilities, if you will. 1897 01:16:51,540 --> 01:16:53,820 We need to think in terms of reformatting 1898 01:16:53,820 --> 01:16:59,080 our ethos in a way that is not skeptical or doubtful 1899 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,590 but rather, expectancy oriented. 1900 01:17:01,590 --> 01:17:04,232 We're the creators of miracles. 1901 01:17:04,232 --> 01:17:06,690 I think, it's not a matter of waiting for miracles anymore. 1902 01:17:06,690 --> 01:17:08,315 It's a matter of rolling up our sleeves 1903 01:17:08,315 --> 01:17:10,830 and taking up the creatorship of miracles. 1904 01:17:10,830 --> 01:17:13,920 >> Consciousness is creating our life experiences. 1905 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:17,790 And biology now demonstrates it at the level of our experiences 1906 01:17:17,790 --> 01:17:19,620 are manifest by this nervous system, which 1907 01:17:19,620 --> 01:17:21,140 are broadcasting it into the field, 1908 01:17:21,140 --> 01:17:22,770 affecting what's going on outside, 1909 01:17:22,770 --> 01:17:24,840 affecting what's going on on the inside. 1910 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,790 Change your thoughts, you change your biology. 1911 01:17:26,790 --> 01:17:29,460 Change your thoughts, you change the world you live in. 1912 01:17:29,460 --> 01:17:33,420 >> Sickness, illness, disease, long term fights, 1913 01:17:33,420 --> 01:17:36,540 long term stress, that produces really negative walls 1914 01:17:36,540 --> 01:17:37,530 of energy. 1915 01:17:37,530 --> 01:17:38,880 And they get thicker every day. 1916 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,290 They don't go away. 1917 01:17:40,290 --> 01:17:42,990 You're just sucking it up, showing up 1918 01:17:42,990 --> 01:17:44,530 for another day of life. 1919 01:17:44,530 --> 01:17:46,740 And it's another day of unhappiness. 1920 01:17:46,740 --> 01:17:50,040 People have such thick blocked energy fields 1921 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,790 to convince them that they have the power, and the potential, 1922 01:17:53,790 --> 01:17:56,910 and the likelihood, the certainty even, 1923 01:17:56,910 --> 01:17:59,760 of healing, of breaking through the threshold, 1924 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:03,840 putting a slit in this wall, and splitting it apart, and walking 1925 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:04,660 through it. 1926 01:18:04,660 --> 01:18:05,460 Yeah. 1927 01:18:05,460 --> 01:18:07,470 I can't cross the threshold, because I 1928 01:18:07,470 --> 01:18:08,570 don't have enough money. 1929 01:18:08,570 --> 01:18:10,320 I don't have enough money to get divorced. 1930 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,778 I don't have enough money to buy health food, organic food. 1931 01:18:12,778 --> 01:18:15,510 I don't have enough money, strength, and time in my life. 1932 01:18:15,510 --> 01:18:18,060 I'm too old, blah, blah, blah, blah. 1933 01:18:18,060 --> 01:18:21,030 There's never an excuse, and there's never 1934 01:18:21,030 --> 01:18:24,540 anything in the way, in your way, but you. 1935 01:18:24,540 --> 01:18:27,000 And to take that step to say, I'm 1936 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,980 breaking through, no ifs, ands, or buts, no conditions. 1937 01:18:31,980 --> 01:18:33,277 No conditions. 1938 01:18:33,277 --> 01:18:35,610 We're going to wait until it's sunny for this to happen. 1939 01:18:35,610 --> 01:18:36,652 We're doing it right now. 1940 01:18:36,652 --> 01:18:39,691 [MUSIC PLAYING] 1941 01:18:40,620 --> 01:18:45,120 >> We're trying to help bring medicine back to its roots 1942 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,660 and medical roots prior to the advent of what we call 1943 01:18:48,660 --> 01:18:52,020 the biomedical model in the West or allopathic medicine. 1944 01:18:52,020 --> 01:18:55,380 We're trying to cultivate the understanding of the importance 1945 01:18:55,380 --> 01:18:57,840 of those elements of the whole person 1946 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,990 and to bring them into the practice fully of medicine. 1947 01:19:00,990 --> 01:19:02,550 And the importance of the emotions, 1948 01:19:02,550 --> 01:19:06,000 the importance of the psyche, the importance of recognizing 1949 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:07,440 the spiritual nature that can say, 1950 01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:09,870 consciousness in nature of the person. 1951 01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:12,360 That is when healing can occur. 1952 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:13,960 >> East is east, and west is west. 1953 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,630 We've learned about material life here, 1954 01:19:15,630 --> 01:19:18,072 and they learned about energetic life over there. 1955 01:19:18,072 --> 01:19:19,530 I think it's time we bridge the two 1956 01:19:19,530 --> 01:19:21,820 and actually started to make a wholeness out it. 1957 01:19:21,820 --> 01:19:24,450 And I think it's all about the holism of life, not 1958 01:19:24,450 --> 01:19:25,830 the compartmentalism. 1959 01:19:25,830 --> 01:19:29,910 >> When we move from the model of pathogenesis, OK? 1960 01:19:29,910 --> 01:19:33,540 The study of disease and getting rid of disease to a model 1961 01:19:33,540 --> 01:19:36,870 of salutogenesis, a model of healing and harmony, 1962 01:19:36,870 --> 01:19:39,770 where we recognize there's a disharmony within us. 1963 01:19:39,770 --> 01:19:41,970 So instead of trying to get rid of our pain, 1964 01:19:41,970 --> 01:19:44,550 or get rid of our depression, or our anxiety, 1965 01:19:44,550 --> 01:19:46,110 we're actually looking towards it. 1966 01:19:46,110 --> 01:19:48,210 And we're saying, what's here? 1967 01:19:48,210 --> 01:19:49,920 Can I hold this space for a minute 1968 01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,500 and allow what needs to come up to come up? 1969 01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:56,050 So that it can transform into the next step. 1970 01:19:56,050 --> 01:19:57,660 And that's where harmony is restored. 1971 01:19:57,660 --> 01:20:00,420 And that's how healing really is happening. 1972 01:20:00,420 --> 01:20:03,010 >> Healing is a unique process. 1973 01:20:03,010 --> 01:20:06,150 And I want to say that healers are everywhere. 1974 01:20:06,150 --> 01:20:07,400 There's a healer in everybody. 1975 01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,960 There's a healer within all of us. 1976 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,940 So to address each other from a deeper place, 1977 01:20:14,940 --> 01:20:18,985 to address our own lives from a different place 1978 01:20:18,985 --> 01:20:20,250 is the way to heal the planet. 1979 01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:23,701 [MUSIC - SIMRIT KAUR, "NANA"] 1980 01:20:53,281 --> 01:20:57,898 (SINGING) You, you are the love of thousands. 1981 01:21:01,090 --> 01:21:05,238 You are the love of thousands. 1982 01:21:05,238 --> 01:21:14,997 Oh, Nana, remember more
