WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.920
So hello, everyone. Good to see you again. So we'll open in prayer. And then then kick

2
00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:21.920
this off. So yeah, Lord, we just come before him we thank you that that no matter what

3
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.120
is going on around you are still God, you are God above all things you always have been

4
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:33.240
you always will be we thank you you hold all things in your hand, and you are working things

5
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:38.400
together for good for those who love you and are called to your plans and your purposes.

6
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:43.280
So Lord, we just pray today that that we can connect and we can receive more from you and

7
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.440
learn from you that we can all move to this to another level of living in abundant life

8
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.520
and health. So we just pray your blessings on this meeting your protection over the connections

9
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:04.280
in the midst of this the storms we just thank you in Jesus name. Amen. Okay, so so we've

10
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:10.960
got I know Virginia has. Oh, thank you for that Catherine, all of these things you put

11
00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:19.120
on I have to get that we had a question there earlier. For from Virginia, which if I can

12
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:25.480
remember it, is it here still? No, it's gone. Anyway. So Virginia was asking, in fact, if

13
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.320
you're there, Virginia, would you like to actually ask that in person so everyone can

14
00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:34.840
know and hear what it what it was you're asking? Are you there?

15
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:43.240
Sure. Yeah. Can you hear me now? Yep. Yep. Okay. I was I was just about to start milking

16
00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:52.200
the cows. So I was wondering, just wanting some comments around your thoughts of the

17
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.880
power of our words, and our thoughts, and how that affects our physical health. There's

18
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:03.640
a couple of scriptures that come to mind, like, that which I fear the most has come

19
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:09.840
upon me from Job. And what was the other one, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. And,

20
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.440
you know, opening fear opens the door to physical disease, I believe, and things like that. And so

21
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:22.320
I was just wanting to get your comments just around that a little bit. Yeah, and how much

22
00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:28.640
power. Yeah, that has huge, huge. So where are you? Are you in New Zealand?

23
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.920
Yeah, New Zealand. Yeah, we're at the bottom of the North Island in the Manawatu.

24
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:48.880
Right. Yeah. Okay. Now, actually, you might not have seen it. But one of the beautiful cows.

25
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:58.160
Yeah, they're beautiful. In the Divine Health Summit, the intro that I did before we started

26
00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:04.560
the Divine School, I actually put a whole lecture called the triune man where I spoke into this.

27
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:11.440
So so you might like to go back and have a look at that. But I'll go into it again for you. So

28
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:21.840
we are Yep. We are body. Yeah, spirit. And and they actually can't be separated.

29
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:30.320
Body and soul are very close. So the soul is your feelings, your thoughts and your will.

30
00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:36.800
So what's interesting is that when something happens in the body, it generates what's called

31
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:43.360
neuro peptides, neurologically acting protein particles that travel around the body and carry

32
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:48.240
that effect of what has just happened around the body. So it's like feelings travel around the body.

33
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:53.840
And we then feel it as an emotion, something happens in the body creates neuro peptides,

34
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.120
we feel it as an emotion. And that will typically hit the sympathetic nervous

35
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:06.160
system activate our sympathetic nervous system. So the sympathetic nervous system is our alarm

36
00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:14.080
system. It's like the primitive alarm danger system. And it's flight, fright, fight, the three

37
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:25.520
things flight, fright, fight. So flight is withdrawal, sadness. Fright is like fear, paralysis,

38
00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:31.040
you know, shock, horror, fight. Well, that's pretty self evidence, isn't it? You know, fight

39
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.920
is is anger, right? So we've got these three components of the sympathetic nervous system,

40
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.520
which, which are our three key negative emotions, most of your emotions, you can somehow, you know,

41
00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:47.600
they'll fit into one of those kind of categories. So your three key emotions, so the body, we're now

42
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.840
in a state of feeling. So this is where we come to the issue of our thoughts. So our mind is

43
00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:59.600
monitoring our body the whole time. So the mind picks up on those feelings, and converts it to a

44
00:04:59.600 --> 00:04:59.840
thought.

45
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.960
So it's like the body is in a state of feeling fear, the mind says, I am afraid.

46
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:13.600
The mind starts to own it, I am afraid.

47
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:22.160
The body is in a state of anger of agitation, the mind picks up on that and says, I am angry.

48
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.160
So it can come from the body up that way it's come from the body up into the mind.

49
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:33.640
Now because the mind is monitoring the body the whole time, and the mind is controlling

50
00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:36.040
the body.

51
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:43.440
The mind then says messages back down that basically reinforces what it is thinking.

52
00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:52.440
So if the mind is thinking, I am angry, that reinforces the feelings of anger, reinforces

53
00:05:52.440 --> 00:05:59.720
the neuropeptides that go into the body, so the body gets a heightened response.

54
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:04.880
So it's a two way street.

55
00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:10.480
What changes that is when we use our will.

56
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.040
So the will is our God given ability to choose.

57
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.320
And I so love this, and the best example of this is where Moses is standing at the edge

58
00:06:19.320 --> 00:06:24.640
of the edge of the desert in front of the Jordan River second time around, after they've

59
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:29.280
done their 40 years in the desert, he's got Joshua there, he's got Caleb there, he retells

60
00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:33.960
the story to the Israelites of just what their 40 years has been about.

61
00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:43.640
And then he says, behold, stop, look, see, behold, I lay before you, blessings and cursings,

62
00:06:43.640 --> 00:06:45.200
life and death.

63
00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:46.680
And then what does he say?

64
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:54.440
He says, therefore, choose life, choose life.

65
00:06:54.440 --> 00:07:02.840
So no matter what is going on in our body, no matter what is going on in our thoughts,

66
00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:10.600
our feelings, and then our thoughts, we have the ability to choose.

67
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:18.040
And if we so choose, we can then learn how to take control of those thoughts.

68
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.600
And so this is where scripture says, take every thought captive to the obedience of

69
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.720
Christ Jesus.

70
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.920
We can choose to take our thoughts captive.

71
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:29.920
What is that about?

72
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.480
How do you do that?

73
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:38.660
And this is about bringing up into the conscious mind, what we're thinking and actually making

74
00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:40.020
ourselves look at it.

75
00:07:40.020 --> 00:07:48.380
Because so much of how we behave and what we're feeling and what we're doing is subconscious.

76
00:07:48.380 --> 00:07:54.260
We've allowed ourselves to flip into automatic patterns.

77
00:07:54.260 --> 00:07:59.260
And while we leave it as an automatic pattern, and we just think, well, you just made me

78
00:07:59.260 --> 00:08:00.260
angry.

79
00:08:00.260 --> 00:08:01.260
I'm just afraid.

80
00:08:01.260 --> 00:08:07.020
While we continue to allow ourselves to leave it down there, we are going to continue to

81
00:08:07.020 --> 00:08:12.940
be subject to those patterns, those subconscious patterns that are operating in our system.

82
00:08:12.940 --> 00:08:20.420
If we can educate ourselves to stop and bring up into our conscious mind and ask, now, what

83
00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:22.340
am I actually thinking?

84
00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:24.900
What's the thought here now?

85
00:08:24.900 --> 00:08:29.020
Am I thinking, oh, dear, this has happened before.

86
00:08:29.020 --> 00:08:30.020
It's going to happen again.

87
00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:33.900
Am I thinking, my dad was angry at me all the time.

88
00:08:33.900 --> 00:08:38.860
And so now, what am I thinking?

89
00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:42.700
If we can make that choice, we have to choose to make the choice.

90
00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:44.700
It's not going to happen if we don't choose.

91
00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:51.540
We have to choose to look at those thoughts and bring them up from the subconscious into

92
00:08:51.540 --> 00:08:54.620
the conscious mind, where then we can look at them.

93
00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:58.700
Once you look at them, then you ask yourself, is that a thought of blessing or is it a thought

94
00:08:58.700 --> 00:09:01.020
of cursing?

95
00:09:01.020 --> 00:09:04.620
Is that a thought for good or is it a thought for evil?

96
00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:08.820
Is it a thought of life or is it a thought of death?

97
00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:13.100
And if it's a thought that is of cursing, a thought of evil, a thought that doesn't

98
00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:18.260
bring hope, it brings despair, if it's a thought of death, then this is where the word says

99
00:09:18.260 --> 00:09:22.020
we're to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus.

100
00:09:22.020 --> 00:09:28.980
This is where what we need to do is to choose to say, I'm not going to think that thought.

101
00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:37.060
I am going to choose to think, basically, we have to go to the opposite, the positive

102
00:09:37.060 --> 00:09:39.500
opposite of that negative thought.

103
00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:43.660
It's not good enough to say, I'm going to choose to say I'm not angry.

104
00:09:43.660 --> 00:09:48.740
Well, you still put the angry in there, so the brain can easily put not angry back to

105
00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:49.740
angry.

106
00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:52.740
That's not far enough apart.

107
00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:56.700
We have to choose a polar opposite thought.

108
00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:59.820
And as we continue to choose to.

109
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.920
And again, the word says faith comes by hearing

110
00:10:02.920 --> 00:10:04.960
and hearing by the word.

111
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.960
So we also have to choose to be speaking that out

112
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:09.200
because as we speak it,

113
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.240
we're activating whole parts of our brain.

114
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.800
We hear what we're speaking, it comes back in.

115
00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:17.760
So we have to choose to be speaking

116
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.600
what the correct version

117
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.520
of what our negative thought is, should be.

118
00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:26.860
And the more we choose to speak it,

119
00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:30.060
the more we choose to operate in it,

120
00:10:30.060 --> 00:10:34.180
the more it actually becomes the brain pathway.

121
00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:38.500
So really, when you look at the question of belief,

122
00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.940
believing is simply just having a brain pathway

123
00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:42.860
that goes that way.

124
00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:46.060
So when we first start making the choice

125
00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:50.260
to say positive, to claim positive,

126
00:10:50.260 --> 00:10:52.060
to speak positive, to believe positive,

127
00:10:52.060 --> 00:10:53.380
when we first make that choice,

128
00:10:53.380 --> 00:10:55.660
it's not yet a belief because we don't believe it.

129
00:10:55.660 --> 00:10:56.620
Why do we not believe it?

130
00:10:57.420 --> 00:10:59.940
Because it's not yet an established brain pathway.

131
00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:03.220
So we have to make the choice

132
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:05.700
to stand on it and keep in it

133
00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.920
until it becomes a belief,

134
00:11:08.920 --> 00:11:10.960
until we actually own it.

135
00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:13.920
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,

136
00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:16.140
the proof of things unseen, right?

137
00:11:16.140 --> 00:11:19.580
We have to keep positioning ourselves in that right place

138
00:11:19.580 --> 00:11:24.140
until it does become the brain pathway.

139
00:11:24.140 --> 00:11:25.760
Once that's become our brain pathway,

140
00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:28.120
that's then sending the messages back through

141
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.880
to downgrade your sympathetic nervous system,

142
00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:32.520
your danger system,

143
00:11:32.520 --> 00:11:34.040
so that instead we activate

144
00:11:34.040 --> 00:11:36.560
the parasympathetic nervous system,

145
00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:38.200
rest, digest, repair,

146
00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:43.360
and the body can start to operate well

147
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.520
in the abundant life and health

148
00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:47.400
that it's meant to operate out of.

149
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.560
Does that kind of make sense?

150
00:11:50.560 --> 00:11:54.560
Have I explained that for you, Virginia?

151
00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:00.760
Yeah, yeah, thank you.

152
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.760
Can you hear me now?

153
00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:09.560
Yeah, you're cutting in and keep going.

154
00:12:09.560 --> 00:12:14.560
Can you speak things into being then by repetition

155
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.440
so it reinforces those new neural pathways?

156
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.440
So, by repetition and creating the correct neural pathways,

157
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.440
it's rather like you're providing a channel

158
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.600
through which that force can flow.

159
00:12:32.760 --> 00:12:35.160
Now, if at the same time,

160
00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:38.440
you position your body in the right place

161
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.320
by removing the physical blocks,

162
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.920
you stop, you know, we stop the alcohol,

163
00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:42.880
we stop the cigarettes,

164
00:12:42.880 --> 00:12:45.480
we avoid all the chemical poisons in our food,

165
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:47.560
we eat the food that God made for us,

166
00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:48.720
we are in the sunshine.

167
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.320
You've got the perfect, you know, we're eating real food,

168
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.560
we're moving, all of that stuff.

169
00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:58.320
If we position our body in the right place,

170
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.320
and then we're choosing to operate our thoughts

171
00:13:03.400 --> 00:13:05.120
in line with God's word,

172
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.240
because that's where the life is,

173
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.480
the life's in the word,

174
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.760
we align our thoughts with God's word,

175
00:13:10.760 --> 00:13:12.720
then that power that's in the life

176
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.880
that Jesus died for us to have

177
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:17.760
will flow through that,

178
00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:19.120
feelings will align,

179
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.960
the nervous system will align,

180
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.360
the body can move into a place of healing.

181
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.720
So yeah, body, soul, spirit.

182
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.760
And so that's why I work across, you know,

183
00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:29.800
all of it, really,

184
00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:33.880
because if we can align ourselves in each area,

185
00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:35.920
then the life just flows,

186
00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:37.600
it's going to flow through.

187
00:13:39.280 --> 00:13:41.680
So I don't believe,

188
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.560
it would be a lot harder for someone

189
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.920
to bring that full spirit life through into the body

190
00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:52.320
if they keep smoking and drinking the alcohol

191
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.560
because of the toxins living in the body,

192
00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:56.480
I smoke, I drink alcohol,

193
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.320
because it'll kind of, you know, you can't correct it.

194
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.120
At the same time, you've got these negative messages

195
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.600
coming back to the body the whole time,

196
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.200
saying I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble,

197
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.560
while in your head you're trying to say,

198
00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:08.200
well, there's no trouble.

199
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:12.880
So we do need, I believe, to position the body.

200
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:14.000
And then the word says, you know,

201
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.320
the body is the temple of God's spirit.

202
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.080
So we have to take care of it before it's perfectly done.

203
00:14:22.400 --> 00:14:25.360
Yeah, and then we live,

204
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.440
this might be a whole nother topic,

205
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.520
we live in that tension between the resurrected Christ,

206
00:14:29.520 --> 00:14:32.120
where we have been healed,

207
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.640
but then sometimes we don't yet see

208
00:14:34.640 --> 00:14:36.360
that healing manifested on earth.

209
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.320
We know spiritually it's been done,

210
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.160
we live from victory,

211
00:14:40.160 --> 00:14:41.640
we're not fighting for it,

212
00:14:41.640 --> 00:14:43.120
we're from a place of victory,

213
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.320
but that great tension of we've been healed,

214
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.120
but we're being healed,

215
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.440
or we're not yet seeing that full healing.

216
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.880
I don't know how to put that into words.

217
00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:55.760
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

218
00:14:55.760 --> 00:14:57.520
And I'm often having to say,

219
00:14:57.520 --> 00:14:59.680
particularly for my patients who are severely ill,

220
00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:00.520
like myself.

221
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.680
chronic fatigue patients and the people like this, you're living in a yes, but not yet,

222
00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:11.200
you're living in a, I have abundant life and abundant health, but right now I feel like crap.

223
00:15:12.400 --> 00:15:18.800
And so you, we have to be able to leave this duality where both statements are true simultaneously.

224
00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:25.920
Right, so simultaneously, I have abundant life and abundant health, Jesus did die for me to have that.

225
00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:32.080
But at the same time, right now, my body is in this particular place. So we don't want to,

226
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:40.960
it doesn't work, I don't believe, to ignore, to try to pretend there's nothing wrong. That's not

227
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.200
operating in truth, right? Well, I think we do have to acknowledge where there's an issue.

228
00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:51.120
But it's about which is the superior truth, if you like. So yes, the truth is right now,

229
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.280
my body's in this place, but what's the superior truth? What's the ultimate truth? The ultimate

230
00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:59.440
truth is that Jesus died that I should have abundant life and abundant health. He's the

231
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:06.320
creator, I come in line with that, then that health is going to flow through. So it's, yeah,

232
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:15.120
there's this duality that we need to learn how to live in and navigate. And it's not always easy.

233
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.360
You know, there are times where the body will be screaming like crazy at you. And it's like,

234
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:24.160
yeah, okay, I hear you right now. But all right, you know, right now, at this point in time,

235
00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:29.360
that's how it is. But I know this, right. And even just a simple saying, and they did some studies,

236
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:34.480
interestingly, on this, where they looked at the outcomes for people, the difference between those

237
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:39.040
who said, simple statement, every day in every way, I'm getting better and better, compared to

238
00:16:39.040 --> 00:16:45.920
those who just said, I'm crap, basically. And there's a significant difference here. So it's

239
00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:51.360
like, yes, acknowledge where you are now, while at the same time saying, that's wrong guy. I'm

240
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.960
heading for that abundant life and abundant health. And every day in every way, I am getting

241
00:16:54.960 --> 00:17:01.760
better and better. It is getting better, better. I am getting better. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's a

242
00:17:01.760 --> 00:17:08.319
journey, isn't it? This whole deal, all of it is about a journey. You know, maybe Enoch made it,

243
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:13.440
and that's why he disappeared. But as for the rest of it, we are still journeying.

244
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:24.079
So, so yes, so Alison, and I know I appreciate Alison went to the effort of getting herself

245
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.360
either staying up or getting up at a crazy time to be able to be on this. So thank you, Alison.

246
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:39.120
So rheumatoid arthritis. So rheumatoid arthritis is one of the autoimmune type diseases where you

247
00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:44.240
get measures in the blood of and we use a particular marker called the rheumatoid factor.

248
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.120
There's another one called anti CCP, that you can use citrullated protein.

249
00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:56.400
So it's an autoimmune disease where the body is making antibodies. So now most people think

250
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:03.680
that rheumatoid is is about antibodies going to to the joints to the synovium. But that's

251
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.240
not actually where the problem is. The problem is actually a level lower than that. The problem is

252
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:16.640
actually in the micro circulation, in the micro circulation coming in to your your synovial

253
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:22.320
fluid, the synovium, the layer of tissue that lines your joints. So you've heard me talk before,

254
00:18:22.320 --> 00:18:27.440
I think about this baseline whole group of problems where we've got with inflammation

255
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.480
and thrombogenesis. And this really is the root of so many, many of our chronic diseases is that

256
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:40.160
combined thing of inflammation and thrombogenesis. So what do I mean? Inflammation is a designed

257
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:45.760
response to an acute injury that brings a whole heap of cells, other cells into that area,

258
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:51.040
releases all of these chemical mediators so that we get a cell growth, a new cell growth

259
00:18:51.040 --> 00:18:54.720
happening in that area. That's what inflammation is about. It's meant to be a short lived process.

260
00:18:55.520 --> 00:18:59.760
You've all seen it, you cut it, you cut a finger, you do something like that, it gets red and hot

261
00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:03.280
and sore for a few days and then that settles down, you've got tissue healing.

262
00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:08.960
That's the purpose of inflammation. Thrombogenesis, what does this mean? It means the tendency to

263
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:15.760
making clots. So again, there's a reason for this. We want our body to be clotting. If you get cut,

264
00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:20.800
you need to be able to have the capacity to clot so you don't bleed out. So it's not that these

265
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:26.160
processes in themselves are a problem. They're designed for a reason. The problem comes when

266
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:32.800
we've got something going on that keeps that process being activated. So what's happening

267
00:19:32.800 --> 00:19:40.240
in rheumatoid arthritis is that there is an ongoing activation into the microcirculation

268
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:45.680
for the synovium, for the linings of the joints, so that you're getting lots and lots of microscopic

269
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.760
clotting going on in there so that the nutrition, so you've got inflammation then that comes from

270
00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:55.200
that and the nutrition can't get into the synovium so you get synovial reaction, big

271
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.920
synovial inflammation and tissue over responses. So that's your underlying disease.

272
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:07.680
So general principles, I don't want to give necessarily a list of things you do for rheumatoid,

273
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.080
but I'm always trying to bring people down to general principles.

274
00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:15.000
So we've got to look at reducing inflammation throughout the body, which will help reduce

275
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:16.640
inflammation in the joints.

276
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:21.640
Now, general things that applies to everything, and you'll hear me say it time and time again,

277
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.960
we've got to reduce our inflammatory foods.

278
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:29.960
What are our inflammatory foods, basically modern Western society diet.

279
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.160
So you can pretty much just say, in fact, there's a great little acronym for it, the

280
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:40.720
SAD diet, standard American diet, or the standard Australian diet, for that matter, the SAD

281
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.720
diet.

282
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:48.280
So what are the features of the SAD diet, high refined foods, right, a dependence on

283
00:20:48.280 --> 00:20:54.520
wheat based foods that are highly refined with lots of added salt and sugar, cow's milk

284
00:20:54.520 --> 00:20:57.920
dairy based to that lots of processed foods.

285
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.960
So these are the big things, Alison, that you must first go for, you are not going to

286
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.520
get well, if you don't clean those things out.

287
00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:08.280
So we want to get rid of wheat.

288
00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:13.040
We want to get rid of cow's milk, unless you happen to have your own backyard Jersey cow,

289
00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:17.120
as this family did in Melbourne, after I lectured down in Melbourne and called it Robin, which

290
00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:23.080
was just so delightful to be told I've got a cow named after me, could have been a more

291
00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:25.680
elegant animal, but anyway, it's a cow.

292
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:32.000
So that unless you've got that, let's say cow's milk really needs needs to be out.

293
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.800
So wheat needs to be out, cow's milk needs to be out, no added sugar in anything, you

294
00:21:35.800 --> 00:21:42.400
must not eat or buy anything with any added sugar, no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives,

295
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.800
you know, if you're going to eat packet food, get really, really good at reading labels

296
00:21:45.800 --> 00:21:50.000
and know exactly what's in your packet foods, nothing with numbers you don't recognise,

297
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.000
right?

298
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.800
No, no partial short food things you don't recognise.

299
00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:58.480
The longer the label is, the more likely you are in trouble with what's in it.

300
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.600
So cut it right down.

301
00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:03.560
So then lots and lots of vegetables.

302
00:22:03.560 --> 00:22:07.720
So we want to be seeing lots of your green leafy vegetables, you can do root vegetables.

303
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.240
So we want to be eating whole whole plants, like whole bits of the plants, we want to

304
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.720
be eating the roots of plants, we want to be eating the leaves of plants, we want to

305
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:22.440
be eating the nuts, the nuts and seeds and flowers of plants, so we want whole plants.

306
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:30.440
So yes, then we can get into more specific things, herbally, look, supplement wise, first

307
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:36.240
cab off the rank, cod liver oil, first cab off the rank, really, it's your anti-inflammatory,

308
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:37.240
it's your cell membrane.

309
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:43.160
They've done some interesting studies with rheumatoid where they did a short term fast

310
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:47.760
and high dose cod liver oil and switched numbers of people off.

311
00:22:47.760 --> 00:22:52.640
So certainly, you know, clean your diet out, even perhaps have a go at trying a fast, if

312
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.600
you're up to that, you could just do a three day juice fast as a quick clean, or you can

313
00:22:56.600 --> 00:23:01.920
be a bit more ambitious and go into a vegetable fast for somewhat longer.

314
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:05.160
And there are lots of ways, you know, you can look all of those things up, supplements,

315
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.760
the first thing to go for is going to be your cod liver oil.

316
00:23:08.760 --> 00:23:12.400
And then there are a whole heap of other, it'd be good to get a herbalist or something

317
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:16.080
on board there, there are a whole heap of other nutritional anti-inflammatories that

318
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:17.080
you can use.

319
00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:21.880
There's Boswellia, certainly succumbent, that drink that I've suggested before, your morning

320
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:27.520
drink of your garlic, lemon, ginger, and into that put some tumeric, put some black pepper

321
00:23:27.520 --> 00:23:31.680
so that you can actually absorb the tumeric.

322
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:35.800
So that would be, you know, a good baseline for that.

323
00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:39.920
Depending on the severity of your rheumatoid, you might actually want to work with a health

324
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.920
practitioner who can, you know, give you a lot more detail on suggestions, but that's

325
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:47.440
your general sort of stuff.

326
00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:53.120
So I'm not sure if she's there to make a comment on that or ask anything

327
00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:54.120
more, but anyway.

328
00:23:54.280 --> 00:23:56.120
I don't think she is, but that's awesome.

329
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.200
Thank you, Robyn. I'll make sure she hears all that.

330
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:00.040
Yeah, make sure she gets that.

331
00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:01.640
Hi, Sue. Hi, Diane.

332
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:03.960
They're two of my Sydney patients.

333
00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:05.480
Great to see you guys there.

334
00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:11.560
OK, so Elise has got a couple of questions up, panic attacks.

335
00:24:11.760 --> 00:24:14.320
Wow. And not sleeping.

336
00:24:14.600 --> 00:24:18.520
So again, I would I would want to come into to looking this.

337
00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:21.320
You keep hearing me say first principles, let's come down to basics.

338
00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:24.280
And so so panic attacks, what are they telling us?

339
00:24:24.280 --> 00:24:28.040
They're telling us that the sympathetic nervous system is over activated.

340
00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:31.720
Right. Her flight, fright, fight mechanism is over activated.

341
00:24:32.760 --> 00:24:35.080
So we've got to come in and ask, well, why is that?

342
00:24:35.080 --> 00:24:40.240
It can be over activated because we've got issues with wrong thoughts.

343
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.880
That are feeding into it continually, continually feeding messages

344
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.560
of disaster and whatever else, so it can be from,

345
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.720
you know, a purely like mental thought component.

346
00:24:52.040 --> 00:24:54.720
But remembering, as I said, the sympathetic nervous system

347
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.800
is being fed into by the body.

348
00:24:56.800 --> 00:24:59.960
It can also be a physical state so we can get.

349
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.320
panic attacks coming purely from the basis of, for example, abnormal gut bacteria being fed loads

350
00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:12.640
of carbs and sugars that make this substance called D-lactate. D-lactate is a neurotoxin

351
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:19.280
that on a sensitive nervous system can itself cause panic and anxiety. So it's really a case

352
00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:25.600
of having a look and seeing in her situation, what's going on here? And again, we have different

353
00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:31.920
constitutions with different tendencies. So speaking homeopathically, a nervonic constitution

354
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:36.240
is a constitution with a sensitive nervous system. They're going to feel more in their nerves

355
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:42.000
than what we call a hydrogenoid constitution, for example. So a hydrogenoid constitution,

356
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.400
given the same issues that the nervonic constitution might have, the hydrogenoid

357
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:51.360
instead will store fluid and lymphatics and kind of puff up and get cold and clammy and all this

358
00:25:51.360 --> 00:25:57.120
kind of stuff. Whereas a nervonic person will be anxious and stressed, but it could be the same

359
00:25:57.120 --> 00:26:04.880
underlying factors on a different constitution. So I'd be wanting to look at going into those

360
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:11.280
underlying issues and teasing out where for her is it? Is it a physical trigger onto a nervonic

361
00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:17.920
constitution? Is she then feeding into that with unconscious thought processes that are feeding

362
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:25.360
into that? So you've got to tease all of that out. And non-sleeping, well, that can be so

363
00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:30.960
many things. It's a matter of what's the pattern of not sleeping. Is it difficulty falling asleep?

364
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:35.680
Is it minds racing, stopping you falling asleep? Is it falling asleep and then waking up and then

365
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:43.120
thoughts racing? What's the pattern? But certainly magnesium is necessary for all the neurotransmitter

366
00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:49.680
metabolism and making your melatonin for night. But if we've got sleep problems, again, I go into

367
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:54.240
your first principles, all the things that we need for promoting a good sleep. And there'll be a whole

368
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:58.880
separate lecture that I'll be coming to as we work through the system to talk all into sleep,

369
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:07.680
because it's actually a big, quite a big field in itself. So yes, I'd be looking around all of

370
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.920
those issues, but looking at the question of sleep environment, making sure that she's not

371
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.520
at night staying up with time on screens because of the issue of the white light, the issue of the

372
00:27:17.520 --> 00:27:22.960
brain activation, all of this sort of stuff. There's so many things that kind of be looked at,

373
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:29.280
but start off just looking at those basis and see what you get as you delve a bit into some of those.

374
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:38.880
Second daughter who's pregnant, dizzy and severe headaches. Oh my goodness. Again, there could be

375
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.480
so many things going on there. I'm assuming that blood pressure has been checked and she's

376
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:50.080
not dizzy because she's getting low blood pressure episodes, because that can be quite

377
00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:57.360
common in pregnancy to have that. Headaches, again, there are so many reasons she could be getting

378
00:27:57.360 --> 00:28:03.040
headaches. We could be having a toxicity problem. She could instead be having the opposite problem

379
00:28:03.040 --> 00:28:07.200
and having high blood pressure that could be creating the symptoms of dizziness and the headaches.

380
00:28:08.080 --> 00:28:13.440
First place I would go would be, again, good doses of magnesium because you do need more magnesium in

381
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:19.520
pregnancy. A lot of symptoms of magnesium deficiency turn up in pregnancy.

382
00:28:19.520 --> 00:28:23.680
Certainly, I'd have a go with that, but get the blood pressure checked up, make sure that

383
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:29.680
that's not- Her blood pressure was okay, a little bit low, but not severely, but I don't think she's

384
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:35.760
doing the magnesium, so I'll- Yeah, get her onto the magnesium and see how she then feels

385
00:28:35.760 --> 00:28:40.800
after that. Again, pregnancy is a stress situation for the body. It's a metabolic

386
00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:46.320
stress on the body. Basically, whatever else was going on before gets exacerbated.

387
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:53.280
If she had a bit of a hypotensive issue before, a bit of a tendency to dizziness, if she had a bit

388
00:28:53.280 --> 00:28:58.640
of a tendency to stress, if she had a bit of a tendency perhaps to migraines, if she had whatever

389
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:03.520
she had going there before, is likely to get stressed. The only thing that does improve in

390
00:29:03.520 --> 00:29:09.200
pregnancy is autoimmune disease because we shut our immune systems down when we're pregnant,

391
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:14.480
so we don't expel the foetus. Autoimmune disease is pretty much the only thing that will improve

392
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:19.920
in pregnancy and will often skyrocket straight after pregnancy as the immune system kicks back

393
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:29.520
in. So, yeah. Thank you. Okay. Oh, Tina, so you had a cow named after you as well.

394
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:38.960
Good on you. All these fancy cows around the place. So, vegetables to grow. Great question,

395
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:43.280
Elise. Vegetables to grow if you want to start off in your own gardens. So, you want to look

396
00:29:43.280 --> 00:29:48.000
in different groups because we need categories. We don't just want one type. We don't only want

397
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:53.920
leafy greens, but leafy greens are great. We need to have root crops. We need to have some

398
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.680
flower type crops and ideally some seed crops. So, seed crops.

399
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.320
Yes, amaranth is a good one that you can try and grow yourself and get the seeds from that,

400
00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:09.440
that's probably the easiest one. Nut trees are a whole separate story, not that easy to do.

401
00:30:10.320 --> 00:30:15.520
So probably the amaranth is your way to go there. Root crops, that can be pretty easy. Yes,

402
00:30:15.520 --> 00:30:19.920
you can do potatoes. Sweet potatoes are an amazing root crop. Once you get sweet,

403
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:24.400
as someone said somewhere, but anyway, and I've got the same thing happening here. Once we've

404
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.440
got sweet potato growing, it's a phenomenal ground cover and it just goes. I've got about a third of

405
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:35.600
an acre just straight sweet potato, never run out of sweet potato. So it's a good one that you can

406
00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:42.800
put in. Fruits, of course, so fruits and seeds. So most people don't realise, but pumpkins are fruit

407
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:49.520
and it contains seeds. So pumpkin's a really good one to have because it is actually a fruit,

408
00:30:49.520 --> 00:30:54.160
it's a carbohydrate-based fruit, but it's a fruit and it's got seeds in it. So eat the seeds,

409
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:58.640
don't throw out your pumpkin seeds, eat the seeds, eat the pumpkin with its skin on it

410
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:04.080
and you can actually eat the leaves as well, but they are a bit prickly. I do confess, but I haven't

411
00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:07.440
figured it, there must be a clever way. Someone somewhere will know a clever way to get rid of

412
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:13.120
the pineapple prickle, the pumpkin leaf prickles. But anyway, so pumpkin, again, an easy, you just

413
00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:18.320
need space for it. Once it's there, it'll go. You just need the space for it. Then in terms of your

414
00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:23.760
leafies, you certainly want to go to your brassica family and the easiest one there is kale. That's

415
00:31:23.760 --> 00:31:28.640
your easiest, by far. It'll grow through all seasons in most places. So that's by far your

416
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:33.760
easiest, but certainly yes, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, all of your brassicas. You need

417
00:31:33.760 --> 00:31:39.120
a bit more space for the others, you need to be taking care of them a bit more. But kale you can

418
00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:43.440
put in and other than chasing off the occasional cabbage moth and picking the caterpillars so they

419
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:52.400
don't eat it, it's easy. Lettuces, yes, lettuces are, but you don't just go for iceberg, you want

420
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.800
to go for your coloured lettuces and your radicchios and all of those other kinds of things.

421
00:31:56.800 --> 00:32:02.080
And then certainly you want shallots or not necessarily onions, but shallots, garlic,

422
00:32:02.080 --> 00:32:10.320
again, easy to grow. You want that kind of category in there as well. So those are, and parsley,

423
00:32:10.320 --> 00:32:16.720
then we move into the parsley family. So again, that's a great herb to have, easy to grow, parsley,

424
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:23.200
celery, all related, we can go into that whole family, easy to grow. You want, everyone should

425
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:30.240
have Tulsi basil, easy to grow, bush basil, really easy to grow, fantastic medicinal plants, spices,

426
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:35.920
everything up that you want, you can make teas out of it. And then you can go across into your

427
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:41.360
fennels and your dills. Fennel will keep going, dill is only annual, unfortunately, so you tend

428
00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:46.960
to lose dill, but fennel, you can keep growing, keep going. So it's actually not hard to get a

429
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.520
few things in that then you can sort of just keep recycling, let them keep going. And from there,

430
00:32:51.520 --> 00:32:56.080
you've got a food crop, obviously tomatoes give you, you know, a fruit, tomatoes, of course, are a fruit.

431
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.400
So, and you can get fancy after that and move into your berry vines and,

432
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.040
you know, tamarillos and off you go. But there's some easy basics.

433
00:33:07.600 --> 00:33:14.160
So I'll come back into the Lyme disease. That's an interesting, a quick, interesting one. Okay.

434
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:22.400
Krill oil and carnivore oil are totally different things. So krill oil is made, is basically,

435
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.160
this is where we've got your, so krill, which are your saltwater, very, very small animals

436
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:33.200
that have eaten algae. So they're loaded with the nutrients from the algae. So in particular,

437
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:38.720
a substance called astaxanthin. So that's the main thing that's found in krill oil.

438
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:45.040
So much more, more potent as an antioxidant and good on cardiovascular and that sort of thing.

439
00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:50.320
Very, very different to cod liver oil, totally different kettle of fish, really. The only thing

440
00:33:50.320 --> 00:33:55.120
that is similar is that they both have essential omega-3 essential fatty acids. There is omega-3

441
00:33:55.120 --> 00:33:59.760
essential fatty acids in krill oil. But krill oil is more if you're heading for an antioxidant effect

442
00:33:59.760 --> 00:34:06.400
and perhaps an anti-aging type effect. Cod liver oil gives you a preformed A and preformed D,

443
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:13.920
it's a food. So I'd be inclined to even run both, but the cod liver oil is my baseline preference.

444
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:22.480
So dry the pumpkins before you eat. No, I just scoop them out of the pumpkin,

445
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:27.120
throw them in the oven along with the rest of the pumpkin. I mean, you can if you want to, but

446
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:36.239
no, easy. Rockets, great. So rocket is actually part of your brassica family. So that comes in

447
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:40.639
all of that family. Coriander is a beautiful herb. It's not easy to grow and it dies quickly.

448
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.960
Spinach, they're easy to grow. Again, it's a different category. Again,

449
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:51.120
high in oxalates. So you just be mindful about watching the oxalate. So you don't want to have

450
00:34:51.120 --> 00:34:56.400
too much raw spinach. Mint again is an awesome thing. If you've got the space, you can have

451
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.840
lots of different types of mints and just let them run wild. Lemon balm is a type.

452
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.760
of mint and lemon balm coming back at least for your daughter is great for

453
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.960
sleep. And again look yeah they're shiny I

454
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.320
mean the list goes on. Beetroots again and give you root

455
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.120
vegetables. Peas and beans are easy to grow and they're basically both

456
00:35:15.120 --> 00:35:18.320
they come really more into the fruit category.

457
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:23.280
Peas and beans and of course they've got the seeds inside them so that's kind of

458
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:27.200
giving you seeds. They're easy to grow it just goes on and

459
00:35:27.200 --> 00:35:31.840
on my goodness. So

460
00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:37.360
so easy a family with high blood pressure and diabetes

461
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.960
look when once you're moving into all of so those are very much your lifestyle

462
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.720
diseases. High blood pressure and diabetes. High blood pressure is most

463
00:35:44.720 --> 00:35:48.320
is often linked with what we call metabolic syndrome

464
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:52.480
which is a insulin resistance overweight linking with diabetes. So

465
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:57.920
before you go into anything fancy if one supplement would be magnesium and

466
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.120
cod liver oil would be all you know but really it's about getting diet and

467
00:36:01.120 --> 00:36:04.560
lifestyle right. They need to understand as I'm often

468
00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:08.640
saying to all my patients I can't out supplement your bad diet.

469
00:36:08.640 --> 00:36:13.120
That that until people get the thing that we are made out of what we eat

470
00:36:13.120 --> 00:36:16.720
and we have to first be eating correctly then there's no point going into fancy

471
00:36:16.720 --> 00:36:19.840
stuff. So we've we've really got to get back to

472
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:24.640
basic messaging of eating well eating well eating well

473
00:36:24.640 --> 00:36:29.360
living well. You know the basic stuff and that doesn't have to be fancy.

474
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:33.040
It's about you get rid of the processed foods you don't eat anything that's white

475
00:36:33.040 --> 00:36:37.120
not even you know organic potatoes aren't white they're

476
00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:40.320
cream. Cauliflower is is cream so there aren't

477
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.320
any actual real natural foods that are totally pure white. There aren't

478
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:49.360
if they're white they've been processed. Rice doesn't come white. Rice comes brown

479
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.560
or red or black. You know so it's it's white rice is

480
00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:57.600
processed rice. So white flour is processed flour. So

481
00:36:57.600 --> 00:37:00.880
anything that is pure white you know is has been played with. Turnips aren't

482
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:05.200
white they're cream. You know so so we really we really want to

483
00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:09.040
to keep away from those. Basmati rice has got a better glycemic

484
00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:12.960
index than ordinary rice but still nutritionally really we're better to go

485
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:17.520
across to brown or red or black wild rice.

486
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:25.440
Back up to to Joanna's question because this is a bit of a long line.

487
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:31.840
Bioresonance can't confirm Lyme disease. Bioresonance is an energetic form of

488
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.040
testing that can tell you that there is a

489
00:37:35.040 --> 00:37:38.320
frequency pattern here which could correlate with

490
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:43.840
the frequency of Lyme disease. We have to come back and if we're

491
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:50.400
actually going to look at this properly medically. Lyme disease is where someone

492
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:56.000
has been infected with the spirochetes that are carried by ticks.

493
00:37:56.560 --> 00:38:00.000
Now there are the challenge with Lyme disease is that

494
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:03.520
we we end up with the syndrome called chronic

495
00:38:03.520 --> 00:38:09.760
inflammatory response syndrome CIRS and a chronic inflammatory response

496
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:12.960
syndrome can be triggered by a whole heap of

497
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.480
hidden infections. It's very non-specific you get this

498
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:19.600
whole broad range of symptoms it's very non-specific.

499
00:38:19.600 --> 00:38:27.120
Yes spirochetes residual from from a tick bite can trigger that.

500
00:38:27.120 --> 00:38:32.320
So can abnormal gut bacteria. So can cell wall deficient strep hiding in the

501
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:36.640
system. So can rickettsial diseases. So can a

502
00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:40.320
whole heap of other things. So I'm I am always

503
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:48.160
very what's the word I would use here I would not accept that as a diagnosis.

504
00:38:48.160 --> 00:38:52.560
I would say okay bioresonance has found out for you that your daughter who's

505
00:38:52.560 --> 00:38:55.760
clearly not well or you wouldn't have taken her for bioresonance

506
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.040
has got some energetic disturbances which are looking

507
00:38:59.040 --> 00:39:03.200
like it could be that but it could be any other number of other things

508
00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:07.280
that is affecting her metabolism so that she's unwell.

509
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.080
But don't just accept the bioresonance on it there will be other issues here.

510
00:39:12.080 --> 00:39:15.920
Yeah I went specifically thinking it was potentially

511
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.280
Lyme because she had had a tick that we didn't find straight away

512
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:23.040
and it was a couple of years ago. Just not

513
00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:26.640
finding it straight away doesn't mean it's potentially Lyme

514
00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:31.920
right it doesn't. I missed the tick at the time was what we call a hot

515
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.760
sorry someone's trying to call my car shut that off because I'm using it for

516
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:41.920
the line. Unless at the time you

517
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:45.680
it's more possible put it this way if you've got what's called a hot tick

518
00:39:45.680 --> 00:39:50.400
if at the time there's a marked inflammatory response and you're

519
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.400
acutely unwell from that time that's what

520
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:58.080
that's what actual Lyme is. Now that's not to say that the tick might not have

521
00:39:58.080 --> 00:40:02.160
left a bit of something in her but if she's

522
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.400
done well since then. We've got other issues. We've definitely got other issues. Before that,

523
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:11.040
did she have any problems with ear infections or bronchitis or pneumonia or anything else?

524
00:40:11.040 --> 00:40:19.840
What's her background health before this tick? She really struggles with healthy eating,

525
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:29.440
and that's partly my thing that I'm now trying to correct. So I know that her digestive system

526
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:34.560
and all of that isn't where it needs to be, her digestive system.

527
00:40:34.560 --> 00:40:37.760
Well, that's way more likely to be the problem than the tick and Lyme disease,

528
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:42.560
way more likely. What people don't quite understand is, you know, the gut, we have

529
00:40:42.560 --> 00:40:48.720
more bacterial cells in our gut than we have cells in our body, back to about 50 plus fold,

530
00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:54.320
many fold. So if we've got the wrong bacteria in our gut, our body metabolism will not be well.

531
00:40:54.960 --> 00:41:02.400
It cannot be. It cannot be. When we eat, the first thing we feed is our gut bacteria.

532
00:41:03.120 --> 00:41:08.400
So if we're eating wrong food, we're feeding the wrong gut bacteria, and we are going to end up

533
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:15.040
with a dysbiosis. We are going to end up with wrong bacteria in our gut. That then affects

534
00:41:15.040 --> 00:41:20.160
not just the gut wall, but the gut immune system, which is 80% of the body's entire immune system,

535
00:41:20.160 --> 00:41:25.920
between 70 and 80, depending on which researcher you listen to. So 70 to 80% of the entire body's

536
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.720
immune system. That then affects the gut nervous system, and the gut nervous system is secondary

537
00:41:30.720 --> 00:41:35.200
only to the nervous system of the brain. The enteric nervous system is almost as big as the

538
00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:41.520
brain in terms of the neurotransmitters involved and all the connections. So it's second only to

539
00:41:41.520 --> 00:41:47.120
the brain. It affects the gut endocrine system, which is a hormone system in the gut, which is,

540
00:41:47.120 --> 00:41:54.240
again, massive like the brain. So don't just go chasing a lime horse, please.

541
00:41:55.120 --> 00:42:00.400
Come back instead and look at what's going on with the diet. Look at what's going on in the gut.

542
00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:05.200
There will be other hidden infection stories here. As I said, it's not to say that maybe

543
00:42:05.200 --> 00:42:09.200
there was something extra in the tick that triggered it, but if that's all you chase,

544
00:42:09.200 --> 00:42:11.760
you're barking up the wrong tree. Loretta Kreet

545
00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:19.440
Thank you. Around bioresonance, something we're learning a lot about frequency and energy and so

546
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:25.840
forth. Do you think that following the treatment, the report has come up with heaps of heavy metals,

547
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:34.240
radiation issue in her body, lots of other things. Would you recommend a treatment protocol with

548
00:42:34.240 --> 00:42:38.320
that? Do you subscribe to that? I mean, not subscribe to it, but would you recommend?

549
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:41.200
Dr. Debra Base It's an energetic-based treatment,

550
00:42:42.240 --> 00:42:48.560
and you certainly could do it. If it's being well done and well monitored, you'll be putting in

551
00:42:48.560 --> 00:42:52.880
external energies that should counter the negative energies that those things have created. But don't

552
00:42:52.880 --> 00:43:00.000
let yourself be kidded that that fixes the problem. It's creating a temporary, all of the

553
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.120
energy therapies. I'm trained in kinesiology and this stuff. So when your energy therapies give you

554
00:43:05.120 --> 00:43:09.760
a temporary energy shift, you've still got to come in underneath and fix the underlying issues.

555
00:43:11.120 --> 00:43:15.200
You've got to come in and look at underlying issues. So by all means, do that, but you've

556
00:43:15.200 --> 00:43:20.480
got to correct your underlying diet. Find someone who actually knows well about nutrition, who knows

557
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:25.920
well about the nutritional side of heavy metals, who knows also about other things around hidden

558
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.600
infections and how to deal, how to use herbs and things for dealing with hidden infections.

559
00:43:29.600 --> 00:43:34.640
The bioresonance can help improve energies, but it's not going to fix those issues per se.

560
00:43:35.200 --> 00:43:43.600
If you know what I mean. Yeah, I really am at the point where I need to make a massive change.

561
00:43:43.600 --> 00:43:51.440
We've been doing small changes, but we're at the point where we really need to finish the overhaul.

562
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:57.840
And for me, it's quite a significant, serious point because my gallbladder is very,

563
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:07.760
very angry at the moment. From a high carb, low, high fat, low fiber, just that's been

564
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:15.760
my lifestyle. It won't just be that. It would be that that lifestyle has fed the wrong bacteria.

565
00:44:17.200 --> 00:44:22.080
I could almost guarantee that you will have a condition called SIBO, small intestinal bacterial

566
00:44:22.080 --> 00:44:26.640
overgrowth. Strongly, strongly correlated with where we've got gallbladder issues.

567
00:44:26.640 --> 00:44:31.360
And on that background of that diet, because that food will have been feeding the wrong bacteria

568
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:34.880
that live up high in the small intestine that is right next to the gallbladder,

569
00:44:35.680 --> 00:44:42.560
inflames the gallbladder. So yes, you do need to do a dietary overhaul, but you need to find

570
00:44:42.560 --> 00:44:46.640
someone who actually understands about the interaction of all of those things. Don't just

571
00:44:46.640 --> 00:44:53.840
rely on, you need to go to another level by the sound of it. But yes, you will have SIBO. You

572
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:59.520
will have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, I expect on that story. And that's a story that

573
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.400
to be addressed. Can I continue to ask a few questions about the gallbladder?

574
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:08.240
Is that okay with time? We've got it, we've got it, I don't think I've got any other major things

575
00:45:08.240 --> 00:45:12.880
that are sitting here, here waiting. So Virginia's asking, well this kind of feeds in, Virginia's

576
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:19.040
asked about how do you correct the gut microbes. Oh and Catherine, a quick question on the carbon,

577
00:45:19.040 --> 00:45:26.160
taking the carbon 60, teaspoon twice a day, easy. Gut microbes, well I can kind of answer

578
00:45:26.160 --> 00:45:36.560
that in with your question here. Okay, yep. So I've been given like a herb tonic from a friend

579
00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:42.000
who makes it from the extracts of 13 herbs that would, it's brilliant for my gallbladder. So the

580
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:47.440
issue is that I'm taking it on and off because I've asked different friends who are studying

581
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:55.440
nutrition or are very well versed in it regarding different detox programs and really the thing is

582
00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:02.800
that I need guidance by somebody but I don't have like this. We'll find a good practitioner

583
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:08.720
who will do, you do, you need to get to a level of a professional practitioner not just kind of

584
00:46:08.720 --> 00:46:12.240
ask around people here and there. Someone who actually knows how to pull this whole story

585
00:46:12.240 --> 00:46:15.600
together because there'll be links between what's happening with you and what's happening

586
00:46:15.600 --> 00:46:19.760
with your daughter, what's in you will have transmitted through. Someone who can pull,

587
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:24.400
who can see the picture, pull your whole story together and then give you a proper treatment.

588
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:30.720
Otherwise you'll kind of be going round and round for a while. Yeah. Yeah. And the reasons why I

589
00:46:30.720 --> 00:46:40.480
haven't been able to go for that so yet but there's just one more question. In the meantime, clean out

590
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:46.400
your diet. There's a huge amount you can do for yourself by cleaning out the diet. So back to

591
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:53.840
what feeds, what feeds the wrong bacteria is your wheats, high dose carbs, sugar, cow's milk. That

592
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:59.840
straight up feeds the wrong bacteria. What feeds your right bacteria, lots of your plants, your

593
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:07.120
nuts, your seeds, resistant starches. So like green banana, green banana flour will feed it.

594
00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:12.640
There's things called partially hydrogenated guagans. So this kind of stuff will feed it.

595
00:47:12.640 --> 00:47:20.960
Slippery elm will soothe your gut wall. Yeah. It's very much your own, all your unprocessed

596
00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:28.800
natural foods are just really good for feeding the right gut bacteria. Yeah. I suppose the question

597
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:35.440
Robin is around timing, that this has been an issue. I had the ultrasound in December and I

598
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:42.160
managed it a while cutting out a lot of things, but it has come back quite severe. Like how if I

599
00:47:42.160 --> 00:47:46.640
have a very full and they're saying go immediately for surgery. Well, the ultrasound guy made a

600
00:47:46.640 --> 00:47:51.760
comment that I needed surgery and that my doctor just said lose weight and, you know, change your

601
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:58.240
nutrition, which I've yeah, I think it's just a concern around, you can't make a comment really.

602
00:47:58.240 --> 00:48:05.440
I understand that, but I'm very, it's an individual situation. That's a concern quite deeply at the

603
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:16.000
moment around how long before I can get my nutrition in. Yeah. As you say, you're not my

604
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:20.160
patient, you're not, and I can't do patient anymore. I have to do clients. You're not in

605
00:48:20.160 --> 00:48:24.880
front of me. I can't touch and feel and get a sense of exactly what's going on. So I can't

606
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:30.560
answer anything specific, but I would say you do need to find a good practitioner. If you can get,

607
00:48:30.560 --> 00:48:37.440
where are you? In North Brisbane. Okay. There are integrative, you know, see if you can find

608
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:41.760
one of the top level integrative guys in North Brisbane, but you'd need to work with herbalists

609
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:46.640
because most doctors aren't actually also trained in herbs and naturopathy, or you could find it,

610
00:48:46.640 --> 00:48:51.360
you know, one of the top, you know, naturally you want to go for good guys. Don't just get around

611
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.600
the corner because around the corner person is not going to get what's going on here. You need

612
00:48:55.600 --> 00:48:59.920
to go for someone who's got an established reputation, been around for a long time.

613
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:07.040
And that kind of person should be able to help you. All right. Thank you. Or I do Zooms, you know,

614
00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:14.880
we can nut it out that way, but yeah. You need someone to think more seriously about all this

615
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:18.160
and just get a sense of exactly where you're at. Look at all what, you know, what, what the

616
00:49:18.160 --> 00:49:21.760
bloods are showing, what your scans are showing, what the rest of your tests are showing, where

617
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:25.280
you're at in the process, and then guiding you through getting on the right herbs, getting on

618
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:30.800
the right stuff. I certainly wouldn't rush into surgery. Okay. I would not be rushing. That's

619
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:34.240
irreversible, right? Surgery is irreversible. You don't want to do something irreversible.

620
00:49:35.120 --> 00:49:39.840
Yeah. So, but it should, you know, you get things right, you should be able to settle it. But,

621
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:43.360
and one of the first things when you're talking to people is find someone who knows when you say

622
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:47.760
stebo, they don't just look at you quizzically and go, huh, what's that? You need someone who

623
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:51.520
will automatically know exactly what you're talking about. If you mention it, I will be

624
00:49:51.520 --> 00:49:59.920
able to say, yeah, you know, so. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. All right.

625
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.280
we've we've run time. So I think we we fill that up. I think we got to the questions mostly if not

626
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:13.840
all of the questions that that were there and just quick for Virginia look if it's if it's your own

627
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:25.200
raw milk your poor cows I hope you've got I hope you've got jersey if you've got your your jersey

628
00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:30.880
then Jersey Guernsey we're sort of okay we don't want Friesian the Friesian Sophie so

629
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:33.200
yeah you're there you can give me a quick answer what are they?

630
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:37.120
Looks like Friesians to me.

631
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:41.120
She's there I can see you.

632
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.840
Summer beach we've got a few jerseys.

633
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:50.000
Okay jerseys and let everyone else have the others.

634
00:50:58.160 --> 00:51:09.120
Okay you're right the A2 structure yeah if you can get we want so reply yeah so we want the

635
00:51:09.120 --> 00:51:14.560
predominant A2 that you that the jerseys have got it's closer in molecular structure for us

636
00:51:15.120 --> 00:51:19.120
um much less of an interaction with our antibody systems and everything.

637
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:26.800
So yeah so so if you can go to to your jerseys or if you've ever had the milk tested and you

638
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:30.160
know when you mix that they're predominant they're predominantly producing A2 that's

639
00:51:30.160 --> 00:51:33.280
what you want drink that and everyone else can have the whatever else.
