So hello, everyone. Good to see you again. So we'll open in prayer. And then then kick
this off. So yeah, Lord, we just come before him we thank you that that no matter what
is going on around you are still God, you are God above all things you always have been
you always will be we thank you you hold all things in your hand, and you are working things
together for good for those who love you and are called to your plans and your purposes.
So Lord, we just pray today that that we can connect and we can receive more from you and
learn from you that we can all move to this to another level of living in abundant life
and health. So we just pray your blessings on this meeting your protection over the connections
in the midst of this the storms we just thank you in Jesus name. Amen. Okay, so so we've
got I know Virginia has. Oh, thank you for that Catherine, all of these things you put
on I have to get that we had a question there earlier. For from Virginia, which if I can
remember it, is it here still? No, it's gone. Anyway. So Virginia was asking, in fact, if
you're there, Virginia, would you like to actually ask that in person so everyone can
know and hear what it what it was you're asking? Are you there?
Sure. Yeah. Can you hear me now? Yep. Yep. Okay. I was I was just about to start milking
the cows. So I was wondering, just wanting some comments around your thoughts of the
power of our words, and our thoughts, and how that affects our physical health. There's
a couple of scriptures that come to mind, like, that which I fear the most has come
upon me from Job. And what was the other one, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. And,
you know, opening fear opens the door to physical disease, I believe, and things like that. And so
I was just wanting to get your comments just around that a little bit. Yeah, and how much
power. Yeah, that has huge, huge. So where are you? Are you in New Zealand?
Yeah, New Zealand. Yeah, we're at the bottom of the North Island in the Manawatu.
Right. Yeah. Okay. Now, actually, you might not have seen it. But one of the beautiful cows.
Yeah, they're beautiful. In the Divine Health Summit, the intro that I did before we started
the Divine School, I actually put a whole lecture called the triune man where I spoke into this.
So so you might like to go back and have a look at that. But I'll go into it again for you. So
we are Yep. We are body. Yeah, spirit. And and they actually can't be separated.
Body and soul are very close. So the soul is your feelings, your thoughts and your will.
So what's interesting is that when something happens in the body, it generates what's called
neuro peptides, neurologically acting protein particles that travel around the body and carry
that effect of what has just happened around the body. So it's like feelings travel around the body.
And we then feel it as an emotion, something happens in the body creates neuro peptides,
we feel it as an emotion. And that will typically hit the sympathetic nervous
system activate our sympathetic nervous system. So the sympathetic nervous system is our alarm
system. It's like the primitive alarm danger system. And it's flight, fright, fight, the three
things flight, fright, fight. So flight is withdrawal, sadness. Fright is like fear, paralysis,
you know, shock, horror, fight. Well, that's pretty self evidence, isn't it? You know, fight
is is anger, right? So we've got these three components of the sympathetic nervous system,
which, which are our three key negative emotions, most of your emotions, you can somehow, you know,
they'll fit into one of those kind of categories. So your three key emotions, so the body, we're now
in a state of feeling. So this is where we come to the issue of our thoughts. So our mind is
monitoring our body the whole time. So the mind picks up on those feelings, and converts it to a
thought.
So it's like the body is in a state of feeling fear, the mind says, I am afraid.
The mind starts to own it, I am afraid.
The body is in a state of anger of agitation, the mind picks up on that and says, I am angry.
So it can come from the body up that way it's come from the body up into the mind.
Now because the mind is monitoring the body the whole time, and the mind is controlling
the body.
The mind then says messages back down that basically reinforces what it is thinking.
So if the mind is thinking, I am angry, that reinforces the feelings of anger, reinforces
the neuropeptides that go into the body, so the body gets a heightened response.
So it's a two way street.
What changes that is when we use our will.
So the will is our God given ability to choose.
And I so love this, and the best example of this is where Moses is standing at the edge
of the edge of the desert in front of the Jordan River second time around, after they've
done their 40 years in the desert, he's got Joshua there, he's got Caleb there, he retells
the story to the Israelites of just what their 40 years has been about.
And then he says, behold, stop, look, see, behold, I lay before you, blessings and cursings,
life and death.
And then what does he say?
He says, therefore, choose life, choose life.
So no matter what is going on in our body, no matter what is going on in our thoughts,
our feelings, and then our thoughts, we have the ability to choose.
And if we so choose, we can then learn how to take control of those thoughts.
And so this is where scripture says, take every thought captive to the obedience of
Christ Jesus.
We can choose to take our thoughts captive.
What is that about?
How do you do that?
And this is about bringing up into the conscious mind, what we're thinking and actually making
ourselves look at it.
Because so much of how we behave and what we're feeling and what we're doing is subconscious.
We've allowed ourselves to flip into automatic patterns.
And while we leave it as an automatic pattern, and we just think, well, you just made me
angry.
I'm just afraid.
While we continue to allow ourselves to leave it down there, we are going to continue to
be subject to those patterns, those subconscious patterns that are operating in our system.
If we can educate ourselves to stop and bring up into our conscious mind and ask, now, what
am I actually thinking?
What's the thought here now?
Am I thinking, oh, dear, this has happened before.
It's going to happen again.
Am I thinking, my dad was angry at me all the time.
And so now, what am I thinking?
If we can make that choice, we have to choose to make the choice.
It's not going to happen if we don't choose.
We have to choose to look at those thoughts and bring them up from the subconscious into
the conscious mind, where then we can look at them.
Once you look at them, then you ask yourself, is that a thought of blessing or is it a thought
of cursing?
Is that a thought for good or is it a thought for evil?
Is it a thought of life or is it a thought of death?
And if it's a thought that is of cursing, a thought of evil, a thought that doesn't
bring hope, it brings despair, if it's a thought of death, then this is where the word says
we're to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus.
This is where what we need to do is to choose to say, I'm not going to think that thought.
I am going to choose to think, basically, we have to go to the opposite, the positive
opposite of that negative thought.
It's not good enough to say, I'm going to choose to say I'm not angry.
Well, you still put the angry in there, so the brain can easily put not angry back to
angry.
That's not far enough apart.
We have to choose a polar opposite thought.
And as we continue to choose to.
And again, the word says faith comes by hearing
and hearing by the word.
So we also have to choose to be speaking that out
because as we speak it,
we're activating whole parts of our brain.
We hear what we're speaking, it comes back in.
So we have to choose to be speaking
what the correct version
of what our negative thought is, should be.
And the more we choose to speak it,
the more we choose to operate in it,
the more it actually becomes the brain pathway.
So really, when you look at the question of belief,
believing is simply just having a brain pathway
that goes that way.
So when we first start making the choice
to say positive, to claim positive,
to speak positive, to believe positive,
when we first make that choice,
it's not yet a belief because we don't believe it.
Why do we not believe it?
Because it's not yet an established brain pathway.
So we have to make the choice
to stand on it and keep in it
until it becomes a belief,
until we actually own it.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the proof of things unseen, right?
We have to keep positioning ourselves in that right place
until it does become the brain pathway.
Once that's become our brain pathway,
that's then sending the messages back through
to downgrade your sympathetic nervous system,
your danger system,
so that instead we activate
the parasympathetic nervous system,
rest, digest, repair,
and the body can start to operate well
in the abundant life and health
that it's meant to operate out of.
Does that kind of make sense?
Have I explained that for you, Virginia?
Yeah, yeah, thank you.
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, you're cutting in and keep going.
Can you speak things into being then by repetition
so it reinforces those new neural pathways?
So, by repetition and creating the correct neural pathways,
it's rather like you're providing a channel
through which that force can flow.
Now, if at the same time,
you position your body in the right place
by removing the physical blocks,
you stop, you know, we stop the alcohol,
we stop the cigarettes,
we avoid all the chemical poisons in our food,
we eat the food that God made for us,
we are in the sunshine.
You've got the perfect, you know, we're eating real food,
we're moving, all of that stuff.
If we position our body in the right place,
and then we're choosing to operate our thoughts
in line with God's word,
because that's where the life is,
the life's in the word,
we align our thoughts with God's word,
then that power that's in the life
that Jesus died for us to have
will flow through that,
feelings will align,
the nervous system will align,
the body can move into a place of healing.
So yeah, body, soul, spirit.
And so that's why I work across, you know,
all of it, really,
because if we can align ourselves in each area,
then the life just flows,
it's going to flow through.
So I don't believe,
it would be a lot harder for someone
to bring that full spirit life through into the body
if they keep smoking and drinking the alcohol
because of the toxins living in the body,
I smoke, I drink alcohol,
because it'll kind of, you know, you can't correct it.
At the same time, you've got these negative messages
coming back to the body the whole time,
saying I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble,
while in your head you're trying to say,
well, there's no trouble.
So we do need, I believe, to position the body.
And then the word says, you know,
the body is the temple of God's spirit.
So we have to take care of it before it's perfectly done.
Yeah, and then we live,
this might be a whole nother topic,
we live in that tension between the resurrected Christ,
where we have been healed,
but then sometimes we don't yet see
that healing manifested on earth.
We know spiritually it's been done,
we live from victory,
we're not fighting for it,
we're from a place of victory,
but that great tension of we've been healed,
but we're being healed,
or we're not yet seeing that full healing.
I don't know how to put that into words.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And I'm often having to say,
particularly for my patients who are severely ill,
like myself.
chronic fatigue patients and the people like this, you're living in a yes, but not yet,
you're living in a, I have abundant life and abundant health, but right now I feel like crap.
And so you, we have to be able to leave this duality where both statements are true simultaneously.
Right, so simultaneously, I have abundant life and abundant health, Jesus did die for me to have that.
But at the same time, right now, my body is in this particular place. So we don't want to,
it doesn't work, I don't believe, to ignore, to try to pretend there's nothing wrong. That's not
operating in truth, right? Well, I think we do have to acknowledge where there's an issue.
But it's about which is the superior truth, if you like. So yes, the truth is right now,
my body's in this place, but what's the superior truth? What's the ultimate truth? The ultimate
truth is that Jesus died that I should have abundant life and abundant health. He's the
creator, I come in line with that, then that health is going to flow through. So it's, yeah,
there's this duality that we need to learn how to live in and navigate. And it's not always easy.
You know, there are times where the body will be screaming like crazy at you. And it's like,
yeah, okay, I hear you right now. But all right, you know, right now, at this point in time,
that's how it is. But I know this, right. And even just a simple saying, and they did some studies,
interestingly, on this, where they looked at the outcomes for people, the difference between those
who said, simple statement, every day in every way, I'm getting better and better, compared to
those who just said, I'm crap, basically. And there's a significant difference here. So it's
like, yes, acknowledge where you are now, while at the same time saying, that's wrong guy. I'm
heading for that abundant life and abundant health. And every day in every way, I am getting
better and better. It is getting better, better. I am getting better. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's a
journey, isn't it? This whole deal, all of it is about a journey. You know, maybe Enoch made it,
and that's why he disappeared. But as for the rest of it, we are still journeying.
So, so yes, so Alison, and I know I appreciate Alison went to the effort of getting herself
either staying up or getting up at a crazy time to be able to be on this. So thank you, Alison.
So rheumatoid arthritis. So rheumatoid arthritis is one of the autoimmune type diseases where you
get measures in the blood of and we use a particular marker called the rheumatoid factor.
There's another one called anti CCP, that you can use citrullated protein.
So it's an autoimmune disease where the body is making antibodies. So now most people think
that rheumatoid is is about antibodies going to to the joints to the synovium. But that's
not actually where the problem is. The problem is actually a level lower than that. The problem is
actually in the micro circulation, in the micro circulation coming in to your your synovial
fluid, the synovium, the layer of tissue that lines your joints. So you've heard me talk before,
I think about this baseline whole group of problems where we've got with inflammation
and thrombogenesis. And this really is the root of so many, many of our chronic diseases is that
combined thing of inflammation and thrombogenesis. So what do I mean? Inflammation is a designed
response to an acute injury that brings a whole heap of cells, other cells into that area,
releases all of these chemical mediators so that we get a cell growth, a new cell growth
happening in that area. That's what inflammation is about. It's meant to be a short lived process.
You've all seen it, you cut it, you cut a finger, you do something like that, it gets red and hot
and sore for a few days and then that settles down, you've got tissue healing.
That's the purpose of inflammation. Thrombogenesis, what does this mean? It means the tendency to
making clots. So again, there's a reason for this. We want our body to be clotting. If you get cut,
you need to be able to have the capacity to clot so you don't bleed out. So it's not that these
processes in themselves are a problem. They're designed for a reason. The problem comes when
we've got something going on that keeps that process being activated. So what's happening
in rheumatoid arthritis is that there is an ongoing activation into the microcirculation
for the synovium, for the linings of the joints, so that you're getting lots and lots of microscopic
clotting going on in there so that the nutrition, so you've got inflammation then that comes from
that and the nutrition can't get into the synovium so you get synovial reaction, big
synovial inflammation and tissue over responses. So that's your underlying disease.
So general principles, I don't want to give necessarily a list of things you do for rheumatoid,
but I'm always trying to bring people down to general principles.
So we've got to look at reducing inflammation throughout the body, which will help reduce
inflammation in the joints.
Now, general things that applies to everything, and you'll hear me say it time and time again,
we've got to reduce our inflammatory foods.
What are our inflammatory foods, basically modern Western society diet.
So you can pretty much just say, in fact, there's a great little acronym for it, the
SAD diet, standard American diet, or the standard Australian diet, for that matter, the SAD
diet.
So what are the features of the SAD diet, high refined foods, right, a dependence on
wheat based foods that are highly refined with lots of added salt and sugar, cow's milk
dairy based to that lots of processed foods.
So these are the big things, Alison, that you must first go for, you are not going to
get well, if you don't clean those things out.
So we want to get rid of wheat.
We want to get rid of cow's milk, unless you happen to have your own backyard Jersey cow,
as this family did in Melbourne, after I lectured down in Melbourne and called it Robin, which
was just so delightful to be told I've got a cow named after me, could have been a more
elegant animal, but anyway, it's a cow.
So that unless you've got that, let's say cow's milk really needs needs to be out.
So wheat needs to be out, cow's milk needs to be out, no added sugar in anything, you
must not eat or buy anything with any added sugar, no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives,
you know, if you're going to eat packet food, get really, really good at reading labels
and know exactly what's in your packet foods, nothing with numbers you don't recognise,
right?
No, no partial short food things you don't recognise.
The longer the label is, the more likely you are in trouble with what's in it.
So cut it right down.
So then lots and lots of vegetables.
So we want to be seeing lots of your green leafy vegetables, you can do root vegetables.
So we want to be eating whole whole plants, like whole bits of the plants, we want to
be eating the roots of plants, we want to be eating the leaves of plants, we want to
be eating the nuts, the nuts and seeds and flowers of plants, so we want whole plants.
So yes, then we can get into more specific things, herbally, look, supplement wise, first
cab off the rank, cod liver oil, first cab off the rank, really, it's your anti-inflammatory,
it's your cell membrane.
They've done some interesting studies with rheumatoid where they did a short term fast
and high dose cod liver oil and switched numbers of people off.
So certainly, you know, clean your diet out, even perhaps have a go at trying a fast, if
you're up to that, you could just do a three day juice fast as a quick clean, or you can
be a bit more ambitious and go into a vegetable fast for somewhat longer.
And there are lots of ways, you know, you can look all of those things up, supplements,
the first thing to go for is going to be your cod liver oil.
And then there are a whole heap of other, it'd be good to get a herbalist or something
on board there, there are a whole heap of other nutritional anti-inflammatories that
you can use.
There's Boswellia, certainly succumbent, that drink that I've suggested before, your morning
drink of your garlic, lemon, ginger, and into that put some tumeric, put some black pepper
so that you can actually absorb the tumeric.
So that would be, you know, a good baseline for that.
Depending on the severity of your rheumatoid, you might actually want to work with a health
practitioner who can, you know, give you a lot more detail on suggestions, but that's
your general sort of stuff.
So I'm not sure if she's there to make a comment on that or ask anything
more, but anyway.
I don't think she is, but that's awesome.
Thank you, Robyn. I'll make sure she hears all that.
Yeah, make sure she gets that.
Hi, Sue. Hi, Diane.
They're two of my Sydney patients.
Great to see you guys there.
OK, so Elise has got a couple of questions up, panic attacks.
Wow. And not sleeping.
So again, I would I would want to come into to looking this.
You keep hearing me say first principles, let's come down to basics.
And so so panic attacks, what are they telling us?
They're telling us that the sympathetic nervous system is over activated.
Right. Her flight, fright, fight mechanism is over activated.
So we've got to come in and ask, well, why is that?
It can be over activated because we've got issues with wrong thoughts.
That are feeding into it continually, continually feeding messages
of disaster and whatever else, so it can be from,
you know, a purely like mental thought component.
But remembering, as I said, the sympathetic nervous system
is being fed into by the body.
It can also be a physical state so we can get.
panic attacks coming purely from the basis of, for example, abnormal gut bacteria being fed loads
of carbs and sugars that make this substance called D-lactate. D-lactate is a neurotoxin
that on a sensitive nervous system can itself cause panic and anxiety. So it's really a case
of having a look and seeing in her situation, what's going on here? And again, we have different
constitutions with different tendencies. So speaking homeopathically, a nervonic constitution
is a constitution with a sensitive nervous system. They're going to feel more in their nerves
than what we call a hydrogenoid constitution, for example. So a hydrogenoid constitution,
given the same issues that the nervonic constitution might have, the hydrogenoid
instead will store fluid and lymphatics and kind of puff up and get cold and clammy and all this
kind of stuff. Whereas a nervonic person will be anxious and stressed, but it could be the same
underlying factors on a different constitution. So I'd be wanting to look at going into those
underlying issues and teasing out where for her is it? Is it a physical trigger onto a nervonic
constitution? Is she then feeding into that with unconscious thought processes that are feeding
into that? So you've got to tease all of that out. And non-sleeping, well, that can be so
many things. It's a matter of what's the pattern of not sleeping. Is it difficulty falling asleep?
Is it minds racing, stopping you falling asleep? Is it falling asleep and then waking up and then
thoughts racing? What's the pattern? But certainly magnesium is necessary for all the neurotransmitter
metabolism and making your melatonin for night. But if we've got sleep problems, again, I go into
your first principles, all the things that we need for promoting a good sleep. And there'll be a whole
separate lecture that I'll be coming to as we work through the system to talk all into sleep,
because it's actually a big, quite a big field in itself. So yes, I'd be looking around all of
those issues, but looking at the question of sleep environment, making sure that she's not
at night staying up with time on screens because of the issue of the white light, the issue of the
brain activation, all of this sort of stuff. There's so many things that kind of be looked at,
but start off just looking at those basis and see what you get as you delve a bit into some of those.
Second daughter who's pregnant, dizzy and severe headaches. Oh my goodness. Again, there could be
so many things going on there. I'm assuming that blood pressure has been checked and she's
not dizzy because she's getting low blood pressure episodes, because that can be quite
common in pregnancy to have that. Headaches, again, there are so many reasons she could be getting
headaches. We could be having a toxicity problem. She could instead be having the opposite problem
and having high blood pressure that could be creating the symptoms of dizziness and the headaches.
First place I would go would be, again, good doses of magnesium because you do need more magnesium in
pregnancy. A lot of symptoms of magnesium deficiency turn up in pregnancy.
Certainly, I'd have a go with that, but get the blood pressure checked up, make sure that
that's not- Her blood pressure was okay, a little bit low, but not severely, but I don't think she's
doing the magnesium, so I'll- Yeah, get her onto the magnesium and see how she then feels
after that. Again, pregnancy is a stress situation for the body. It's a metabolic
stress on the body. Basically, whatever else was going on before gets exacerbated.
If she had a bit of a hypotensive issue before, a bit of a tendency to dizziness, if she had a bit
of a tendency to stress, if she had a bit of a tendency perhaps to migraines, if she had whatever
she had going there before, is likely to get stressed. The only thing that does improve in
pregnancy is autoimmune disease because we shut our immune systems down when we're pregnant,
so we don't expel the foetus. Autoimmune disease is pretty much the only thing that will improve
in pregnancy and will often skyrocket straight after pregnancy as the immune system kicks back
in. So, yeah. Thank you. Okay. Oh, Tina, so you had a cow named after you as well.
Good on you. All these fancy cows around the place. So, vegetables to grow. Great question,
Elise. Vegetables to grow if you want to start off in your own gardens. So, you want to look
in different groups because we need categories. We don't just want one type. We don't only want
leafy greens, but leafy greens are great. We need to have root crops. We need to have some
flower type crops and ideally some seed crops. So, seed crops.
Yes, amaranth is a good one that you can try and grow yourself and get the seeds from that,
that's probably the easiest one. Nut trees are a whole separate story, not that easy to do.
So probably the amaranth is your way to go there. Root crops, that can be pretty easy. Yes,
you can do potatoes. Sweet potatoes are an amazing root crop. Once you get sweet,
as someone said somewhere, but anyway, and I've got the same thing happening here. Once we've
got sweet potato growing, it's a phenomenal ground cover and it just goes. I've got about a third of
an acre just straight sweet potato, never run out of sweet potato. So it's a good one that you can
put in. Fruits, of course, so fruits and seeds. So most people don't realise, but pumpkins are fruit
and it contains seeds. So pumpkin's a really good one to have because it is actually a fruit,
it's a carbohydrate-based fruit, but it's a fruit and it's got seeds in it. So eat the seeds,
don't throw out your pumpkin seeds, eat the seeds, eat the pumpkin with its skin on it
and you can actually eat the leaves as well, but they are a bit prickly. I do confess, but I haven't
figured it, there must be a clever way. Someone somewhere will know a clever way to get rid of
the pineapple prickle, the pumpkin leaf prickles. But anyway, so pumpkin, again, an easy, you just
need space for it. Once it's there, it'll go. You just need the space for it. Then in terms of your
leafies, you certainly want to go to your brassica family and the easiest one there is kale. That's
your easiest, by far. It'll grow through all seasons in most places. So that's by far your
easiest, but certainly yes, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, all of your brassicas. You need
a bit more space for the others, you need to be taking care of them a bit more. But kale you can
put in and other than chasing off the occasional cabbage moth and picking the caterpillars so they
don't eat it, it's easy. Lettuces, yes, lettuces are, but you don't just go for iceberg, you want
to go for your coloured lettuces and your radicchios and all of those other kinds of things.
And then certainly you want shallots or not necessarily onions, but shallots, garlic,
again, easy to grow. You want that kind of category in there as well. So those are, and parsley,
then we move into the parsley family. So again, that's a great herb to have, easy to grow, parsley,
celery, all related, we can go into that whole family, easy to grow. You want, everyone should
have Tulsi basil, easy to grow, bush basil, really easy to grow, fantastic medicinal plants, spices,
everything up that you want, you can make teas out of it. And then you can go across into your
fennels and your dills. Fennel will keep going, dill is only annual, unfortunately, so you tend
to lose dill, but fennel, you can keep growing, keep going. So it's actually not hard to get a
few things in that then you can sort of just keep recycling, let them keep going. And from there,
you've got a food crop, obviously tomatoes give you, you know, a fruit, tomatoes, of course, are a fruit.
So, and you can get fancy after that and move into your berry vines and,
you know, tamarillos and off you go. But there's some easy basics.
So I'll come back into the Lyme disease. That's an interesting, a quick, interesting one. Okay.
Krill oil and carnivore oil are totally different things. So krill oil is made, is basically,
this is where we've got your, so krill, which are your saltwater, very, very small animals
that have eaten algae. So they're loaded with the nutrients from the algae. So in particular,
a substance called astaxanthin. So that's the main thing that's found in krill oil.
So much more, more potent as an antioxidant and good on cardiovascular and that sort of thing.
Very, very different to cod liver oil, totally different kettle of fish, really. The only thing
that is similar is that they both have essential omega-3 essential fatty acids. There is omega-3
essential fatty acids in krill oil. But krill oil is more if you're heading for an antioxidant effect
and perhaps an anti-aging type effect. Cod liver oil gives you a preformed A and preformed D,
it's a food. So I'd be inclined to even run both, but the cod liver oil is my baseline preference.
So dry the pumpkins before you eat. No, I just scoop them out of the pumpkin,
throw them in the oven along with the rest of the pumpkin. I mean, you can if you want to, but
no, easy. Rockets, great. So rocket is actually part of your brassica family. So that comes in
all of that family. Coriander is a beautiful herb. It's not easy to grow and it dies quickly.
Spinach, they're easy to grow. Again, it's a different category. Again,
high in oxalates. So you just be mindful about watching the oxalate. So you don't want to have
too much raw spinach. Mint again is an awesome thing. If you've got the space, you can have
lots of different types of mints and just let them run wild. Lemon balm is a type.
of mint and lemon balm coming back at least for your daughter is great for
sleep. And again look yeah they're shiny I
mean the list goes on. Beetroots again and give you root
vegetables. Peas and beans are easy to grow and they're basically both
they come really more into the fruit category.
Peas and beans and of course they've got the seeds inside them so that's kind of
giving you seeds. They're easy to grow it just goes on and
on my goodness. So
so easy a family with high blood pressure and diabetes
look when once you're moving into all of so those are very much your lifestyle
diseases. High blood pressure and diabetes. High blood pressure is most
is often linked with what we call metabolic syndrome
which is a insulin resistance overweight linking with diabetes. So
before you go into anything fancy if one supplement would be magnesium and
cod liver oil would be all you know but really it's about getting diet and
lifestyle right. They need to understand as I'm often
saying to all my patients I can't out supplement your bad diet.
That that until people get the thing that we are made out of what we eat
and we have to first be eating correctly then there's no point going into fancy
stuff. So we've we've really got to get back to
basic messaging of eating well eating well eating well
living well. You know the basic stuff and that doesn't have to be fancy.
It's about you get rid of the processed foods you don't eat anything that's white
not even you know organic potatoes aren't white they're
cream. Cauliflower is is cream so there aren't
any actual real natural foods that are totally pure white. There aren't
if they're white they've been processed. Rice doesn't come white. Rice comes brown
or red or black. You know so it's it's white rice is
processed rice. So white flour is processed flour. So
anything that is pure white you know is has been played with. Turnips aren't
white they're cream. You know so so we really we really want to
to keep away from those. Basmati rice has got a better glycemic
index than ordinary rice but still nutritionally really we're better to go
across to brown or red or black wild rice.
Back up to to Joanna's question because this is a bit of a long line.
Bioresonance can't confirm Lyme disease. Bioresonance is an energetic form of
testing that can tell you that there is a
frequency pattern here which could correlate with
the frequency of Lyme disease. We have to come back and if we're
actually going to look at this properly medically. Lyme disease is where someone
has been infected with the spirochetes that are carried by ticks.
Now there are the challenge with Lyme disease is that
we we end up with the syndrome called chronic
inflammatory response syndrome CIRS and a chronic inflammatory response
syndrome can be triggered by a whole heap of
hidden infections. It's very non-specific you get this
whole broad range of symptoms it's very non-specific.
Yes spirochetes residual from from a tick bite can trigger that.
So can abnormal gut bacteria. So can cell wall deficient strep hiding in the
system. So can rickettsial diseases. So can a
whole heap of other things. So I'm I am always
very what's the word I would use here I would not accept that as a diagnosis.
I would say okay bioresonance has found out for you that your daughter who's
clearly not well or you wouldn't have taken her for bioresonance
has got some energetic disturbances which are looking
like it could be that but it could be any other number of other things
that is affecting her metabolism so that she's unwell.
But don't just accept the bioresonance on it there will be other issues here.
Yeah I went specifically thinking it was potentially
Lyme because she had had a tick that we didn't find straight away
and it was a couple of years ago. Just not
finding it straight away doesn't mean it's potentially Lyme
right it doesn't. I missed the tick at the time was what we call a hot
sorry someone's trying to call my car shut that off because I'm using it for
the line. Unless at the time you
it's more possible put it this way if you've got what's called a hot tick
if at the time there's a marked inflammatory response and you're
acutely unwell from that time that's what
that's what actual Lyme is. Now that's not to say that the tick might not have
left a bit of something in her but if she's
done well since then. We've got other issues. We've definitely got other issues. Before that,
did she have any problems with ear infections or bronchitis or pneumonia or anything else?
What's her background health before this tick? She really struggles with healthy eating,
and that's partly my thing that I'm now trying to correct. So I know that her digestive system
and all of that isn't where it needs to be, her digestive system.
Well, that's way more likely to be the problem than the tick and Lyme disease,
way more likely. What people don't quite understand is, you know, the gut, we have
more bacterial cells in our gut than we have cells in our body, back to about 50 plus fold,
many fold. So if we've got the wrong bacteria in our gut, our body metabolism will not be well.
It cannot be. It cannot be. When we eat, the first thing we feed is our gut bacteria.
So if we're eating wrong food, we're feeding the wrong gut bacteria, and we are going to end up
with a dysbiosis. We are going to end up with wrong bacteria in our gut. That then affects
not just the gut wall, but the gut immune system, which is 80% of the body's entire immune system,
between 70 and 80, depending on which researcher you listen to. So 70 to 80% of the entire body's
immune system. That then affects the gut nervous system, and the gut nervous system is secondary
only to the nervous system of the brain. The enteric nervous system is almost as big as the
brain in terms of the neurotransmitters involved and all the connections. So it's second only to
the brain. It affects the gut endocrine system, which is a hormone system in the gut, which is,
again, massive like the brain. So don't just go chasing a lime horse, please.
Come back instead and look at what's going on with the diet. Look at what's going on in the gut.
There will be other hidden infection stories here. As I said, it's not to say that maybe
there was something extra in the tick that triggered it, but if that's all you chase,
you're barking up the wrong tree. Loretta Kreet
Thank you. Around bioresonance, something we're learning a lot about frequency and energy and so
forth. Do you think that following the treatment, the report has come up with heaps of heavy metals,
radiation issue in her body, lots of other things. Would you recommend a treatment protocol with
that? Do you subscribe to that? I mean, not subscribe to it, but would you recommend?
Dr. Debra Base It's an energetic-based treatment,
and you certainly could do it. If it's being well done and well monitored, you'll be putting in
external energies that should counter the negative energies that those things have created. But don't
let yourself be kidded that that fixes the problem. It's creating a temporary, all of the
energy therapies. I'm trained in kinesiology and this stuff. So when your energy therapies give you
a temporary energy shift, you've still got to come in underneath and fix the underlying issues.
You've got to come in and look at underlying issues. So by all means, do that, but you've
got to correct your underlying diet. Find someone who actually knows well about nutrition, who knows
well about the nutritional side of heavy metals, who knows also about other things around hidden
infections and how to deal, how to use herbs and things for dealing with hidden infections.
The bioresonance can help improve energies, but it's not going to fix those issues per se.
If you know what I mean. Yeah, I really am at the point where I need to make a massive change.
We've been doing small changes, but we're at the point where we really need to finish the overhaul.
And for me, it's quite a significant, serious point because my gallbladder is very,
very angry at the moment. From a high carb, low, high fat, low fiber, just that's been
my lifestyle. It won't just be that. It would be that that lifestyle has fed the wrong bacteria.
I could almost guarantee that you will have a condition called SIBO, small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth. Strongly, strongly correlated with where we've got gallbladder issues.
And on that background of that diet, because that food will have been feeding the wrong bacteria
that live up high in the small intestine that is right next to the gallbladder,
inflames the gallbladder. So yes, you do need to do a dietary overhaul, but you need to find
someone who actually understands about the interaction of all of those things. Don't just
rely on, you need to go to another level by the sound of it. But yes, you will have SIBO. You
will have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, I expect on that story. And that's a story that
to be addressed. Can I continue to ask a few questions about the gallbladder?
Is that okay with time? We've got it, we've got it, I don't think I've got any other major things
that are sitting here, here waiting. So Virginia's asking, well this kind of feeds in, Virginia's
asked about how do you correct the gut microbes. Oh and Catherine, a quick question on the carbon,
taking the carbon 60, teaspoon twice a day, easy. Gut microbes, well I can kind of answer
that in with your question here. Okay, yep. So I've been given like a herb tonic from a friend
who makes it from the extracts of 13 herbs that would, it's brilliant for my gallbladder. So the
issue is that I'm taking it on and off because I've asked different friends who are studying
nutrition or are very well versed in it regarding different detox programs and really the thing is
that I need guidance by somebody but I don't have like this. We'll find a good practitioner
who will do, you do, you need to get to a level of a professional practitioner not just kind of
ask around people here and there. Someone who actually knows how to pull this whole story
together because there'll be links between what's happening with you and what's happening
with your daughter, what's in you will have transmitted through. Someone who can pull,
who can see the picture, pull your whole story together and then give you a proper treatment.
Otherwise you'll kind of be going round and round for a while. Yeah. Yeah. And the reasons why I
haven't been able to go for that so yet but there's just one more question. In the meantime, clean out
your diet. There's a huge amount you can do for yourself by cleaning out the diet. So back to
what feeds, what feeds the wrong bacteria is your wheats, high dose carbs, sugar, cow's milk. That
straight up feeds the wrong bacteria. What feeds your right bacteria, lots of your plants, your
nuts, your seeds, resistant starches. So like green banana, green banana flour will feed it.
There's things called partially hydrogenated guagans. So this kind of stuff will feed it.
Slippery elm will soothe your gut wall. Yeah. It's very much your own, all your unprocessed
natural foods are just really good for feeding the right gut bacteria. Yeah. I suppose the question
Robin is around timing, that this has been an issue. I had the ultrasound in December and I
managed it a while cutting out a lot of things, but it has come back quite severe. Like how if I
have a very full and they're saying go immediately for surgery. Well, the ultrasound guy made a
comment that I needed surgery and that my doctor just said lose weight and, you know, change your
nutrition, which I've yeah, I think it's just a concern around, you can't make a comment really.
I understand that, but I'm very, it's an individual situation. That's a concern quite deeply at the
moment around how long before I can get my nutrition in. Yeah. As you say, you're not my
patient, you're not, and I can't do patient anymore. I have to do clients. You're not in
front of me. I can't touch and feel and get a sense of exactly what's going on. So I can't
answer anything specific, but I would say you do need to find a good practitioner. If you can get,
where are you? In North Brisbane. Okay. There are integrative, you know, see if you can find
one of the top level integrative guys in North Brisbane, but you'd need to work with herbalists
because most doctors aren't actually also trained in herbs and naturopathy, or you could find it,
you know, one of the top, you know, naturally you want to go for good guys. Don't just get around
the corner because around the corner person is not going to get what's going on here. You need
to go for someone who's got an established reputation, been around for a long time.
And that kind of person should be able to help you. All right. Thank you. Or I do Zooms, you know,
we can nut it out that way, but yeah. You need someone to think more seriously about all this
and just get a sense of exactly where you're at. Look at all what, you know, what, what the
bloods are showing, what your scans are showing, what the rest of your tests are showing, where
you're at in the process, and then guiding you through getting on the right herbs, getting on
the right stuff. I certainly wouldn't rush into surgery. Okay. I would not be rushing. That's
irreversible, right? Surgery is irreversible. You don't want to do something irreversible.
Yeah. So, but it should, you know, you get things right, you should be able to settle it. But,
and one of the first things when you're talking to people is find someone who knows when you say
stebo, they don't just look at you quizzically and go, huh, what's that? You need someone who
will automatically know exactly what you're talking about. If you mention it, I will be
able to say, yeah, you know, so. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. All right.
we've we've run time. So I think we we fill that up. I think we got to the questions mostly if not
all of the questions that that were there and just quick for Virginia look if it's if it's your own
raw milk your poor cows I hope you've got I hope you've got jersey if you've got your your jersey
then Jersey Guernsey we're sort of okay we don't want Friesian the Friesian Sophie so
yeah you're there you can give me a quick answer what are they?
Looks like Friesians to me.
She's there I can see you.
Summer beach we've got a few jerseys.
Okay jerseys and let everyone else have the others.
Okay you're right the A2 structure yeah if you can get we want so reply yeah so we want the
predominant A2 that you that the jerseys have got it's closer in molecular structure for us
um much less of an interaction with our antibody systems and everything.
So yeah so so if you can go to to your jerseys or if you've ever had the milk tested and you
know when you mix that they're predominant they're predominantly producing A2 that's
what you want drink that and everyone else can have the whatever else.
Making your own butter and everything else that's awesome.
Okay all right everyone I think we'll we'll call it um we'll call it quits there I'll just make
sure I get that um I've lost it peanuts yeah peanuts can be good too Catherine you sent a
message to me that my system seems to have lost that I wanted to catch if you could shoot that to
me again would be great oh there it is okay beautiful all right thank you everybody.
Oh why is that not working thank you and see you next time and that's not working.
Do we know when next time will be Robin just before everyone goes off so I can.
Yes yes um I said so we're another uh two it's actually three weeks from now because next week
waiting time after yes so it's three weeks from now I did give you the date I did email
that to you the 20 something 22nd I think it is yeah I haven't seen the email sorry I'm still
going through so 20 secondish second or whatever whatever the Wednesday is yeah that week of April
okay it'll be starting as we move into April May getting some interesting guest people on
talking all around so I'm going to be starting to move into the the thing of energetic therapies
and breathing and all of this sort of stuff so we'll be getting some interesting people
coming in I've got a music therapy lady from the US coming in as we talk around sound and energies
and I've got a a Brisbane scientist coming in talking all about breathing
and and energy devices that are producing that so there'll be some interesting stuff to follow
so that next one on that week of the 22nd ish it's going to be the two hour one and you'll have a
topic that's another two hour one yeah yeah we're two hours from now on um I'm probably also so you
might want to start or not probably we are going to be in May Benji and I just working out the
timing of it I feel to do a another open seminar all around the heart uh both because there is so
much happening now with with young people dropping dead not so young people dropping dead um a lot
of heart talk so I I feel to do an open seminar on the heart it'll be called matters of the heart
so it's not just going to be talking the physical although it will
but yeah as an opening for people another opening for people into um into the divine school
excellent keep you posted on that thank you so much see you everyone
thanks for all your questions okay bye thanks Robin bye everyone thanks Robin bye
