Break Free From The Diagnosis Trap & Stop Needing a Doctor

the chronic emotional stress is the the chronic emotional stress is the the chronic emotional stress is the foundation. Is it the parasites are the foundation. Is it the parasites are the foundation. Is it the parasites are the foundation? That is for a practitioner foundation? That is for a practitioner foundation? That is for a practitioner to figure out. And it's also for you as to figure out. And it's also for you as to figure out. And it's also for you as the client, as the patient, as the the client, as the patient, as the the client, as the patient, as the member to figure out. It's a member to figure out. It's a member to figure out. It's a collaborative effort. We shouldn't be collaborative effort. We shouldn't be collaborative effort. We shouldn't be delegating our entire well-being to delegating our entire well-being to delegating our entire well-being to another person. [Music] What's up, guys? Welcome back to another What's up, guys? Welcome back to another What's up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of Integrative View Radio. You episode of Integrative View Radio. You episode of Integrative View Radio. You have Dr. Nicole here and I am talking have Dr. Nicole here and I am talking have Dr. Nicole here and I am talking about one of my favorite things, which about one of my favorite things, which about one of my favorite things, which is all the [  ] that we're being told is all the [  ] that we're being told is all the [  ] that we're being told that is a halftruth. that is a halftruth. that is a halftruth. So, there was something that I came So, there was something that I came So, there was something that I came across recently and it was showcasing across recently and it was showcasing across recently and it was showcasing how there has been 30,000 new diagnosis how there has been 30,000 new diagnosis how there has been 30,000 new diagnosis codes that have been added to the codes that have been added to the codes that have been added to the database for practitioners, for doctors. database for practitioners, for doctors. database for practitioners, for doctors. And a lot of people look at that and And a lot of people look at that and And a lot of people look at that and they're just like, "Oh, this is the they're just like, "Oh, this is the they're just like, "Oh, this is the evolution of medicine. Woohoo." Like, so evolution of medicine. Woohoo." Like, so evolution of medicine. Woohoo." Like, so glad we're getting more specific. And I glad we're getting more specific. And I glad we're getting more specific. And I look at it and I'm like, "What a [  ] look at it and I'm like, "What a [  ] look at it and I'm like, "What a [  ] scam. scam. scam. So, hear me out, guys. Hear me So, hear me out, guys. Hear me So, hear me out, guys. Hear me out. Diagnosis out. Diagnosis out. Diagnosis codes, they're there to create a label. codes, they're there to create a label. codes, they're there to create a label. But if you think about the average But if you think about the average But if you think about the average diagnosis, irritable bowel diagnosis, irritable bowel diagnosis, irritable bowel syndrome, what what does that tell you syndrome, what what does that tell you syndrome, what what does that tell you about what the [  ] is going on with about what the [  ] is going on with about what the [  ] is going on with your bowel? It tells you that you have your bowel? It tells you that you have your bowel? It tells you that you have an irritated bowel. But because now an irritated bowel. But because now an irritated bowel. But because now we've put a label on you, we've we've put a label on you, we've we've put a label on you, we've created an identity of your symptoms. created an identity of your symptoms. created an identity of your symptoms. We've created a We've created a We've created a label. Now we can provide you with a label. Now we can provide you with a label. Now we can provide you with a treatment. So external problem, external treatment. So external problem, external treatment. So external problem, external treatment, external cause, external treatment, external cause, external treatment, external cause, external solution. And this is what conventional solution. And this is what conventional solution. And this is what conventional medicine is built off of. It is built medicine is built off of. It is built medicine is built off of. It is built off off off of let's look at your symptoms. Let's of let's look at your symptoms. Let's of let's look at your symptoms. Let's label them. We don't we're not really label them. We don't we're not really label them. We don't we're not really going to figure out what's causing them. going to figure out what's causing them. going to figure out what's causing them. We just we just need to label them We just we just need to label them We just we just need to label them because it could be genetics and it because it could be genetics and it because it could be genetics and it could be bad luck and it could be the could be bad luck and it could be the could be bad luck and it could be the [  ] fairy dust that somebody [  ] fairy dust that somebody [  ] fairy dust that somebody sprinkled on your head. It could be your sprinkled on your head. It could be your sprinkled on your head. It could be your curse. Whatever. We don't know. It just curse. Whatever. We don't know. It just curse. Whatever. We don't know. It just happens. Irritable bowel just happens. happens. Irritable bowel just happens. happens. Irritable bowel just happens. It's probably because, you know, like It's probably because, you know, like It's probably because, you know, like seven generations back somebody had it. seven generations back somebody had it. seven generations back somebody had it. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. And so now, okay, you have your And so now, okay, you have your And so now, okay, you have your diagnosis and oh, now that we know that diagnosis and oh, now that we know that diagnosis and oh, now that we know that it's irritable bowel, we have a we have it's irritable bowel, we have a we have it's irritable bowel, we have a we have a pill, we have a shot, we have a a pill, we have a shot, we have a a pill, we have a shot, we have a surgery, we we have solutions for surgery, we we have solutions for surgery, we we have solutions for it. Okay, it. Okay, it. Okay, great. And the thing is is that you hear great. And the thing is is that you hear great. And the thing is is that you hear in the world of functional medicine, in the world of functional medicine, in the world of functional medicine, integrative medicine, is that we're not integrative medicine, is that we're not integrative medicine, is that we're not really focused on the diagnosis of really focused on the diagnosis of really focused on the diagnosis of describing your symptoms. We're focused describing your symptoms. We're focused describing your symptoms. We're focused on what the [  ] is the cause. What is on what the [  ] is the cause. What is on what the [  ] is the cause. What is the root the root the root cause? And the thing is is that this cause? And the thing is is that this cause? And the thing is is that this model has its limitations too because model has its limitations too because model has its limitations too because looking for the root looking for the root looking for the root cause, how many practitioners are really cause, how many practitioners are really cause, how many practitioners are really looking at all of the possibilities of looking at all of the possibilities of looking at all of the possibilities of the root cause and also looking at the the root cause and also looking at the the root cause and also looking at the hierarchy of the root cause. So what I hierarchy of the root cause. So what I hierarchy of the root cause. So what I mean by that is there is no one root mean by that is there is no one root mean by that is there is no one root cause. You don't. Oh, you have irritable cause. You don't. Oh, you have irritable cause. You don't. Oh, you have irritable bowel. Oh, you have parasites. End of bowel. Oh, you have parasites. End of bowel. Oh, you have parasites. End of story. Oh, you have irritable bowel. Oh, story. Oh, you have irritable bowel. Oh, story. Oh, you have irritable bowel. Oh, you have mercury in your gut because you you have mercury in your gut because you you have mercury in your gut because you ate too much tuna as a kid. Like, no. ate too much tuna as a kid. Like, no. ate too much tuna as a kid. Like, no. That's not how it works because there That's not how it works because there That's not how it works because there are all of these interconnected organs are all of these interconnected organs are all of these interconnected organs and systems. There is your brain and systems. There is your brain and systems. There is your brain communicating with your organs. So, communicating with your organs. So, communicating with your organs. So, first of all, there's going to be a first of all, there's going to be a first of all, there's going to be a multitude of organs that are involved. multitude of organs that are involved. multitude of organs that are involved. There's also a multitude of pathogens There's also a multitude of pathogens There's also a multitude of pathogens and toxins that we're exposed to that and toxins that we're exposed to that and toxins that we're exposed to that could be the root cause. And then could be the root cause. And then could be the root cause. And then there's also the psychossematic, mental, there's also the psychossematic, mental, there's also the psychossematic, mental, emotional layer as well. And so that's emotional layer as well. And so that's emotional layer as well. And so that's what I'm talking about with the what I'm talking about with the what I'm talking about with the hierarchy is okay, what what are some of hierarchy is okay, what what are some of hierarchy is okay, what what are some of the possible root causes because there's the possible root causes because there's the possible root causes because there's usually not one. You know, is it chronic usually not one. You know, is it chronic usually not one. You know, is it chronic stress in your life? Is it you had a stress in your life? Is it you had a stress in your life? Is it you had a trauma to your bowel in a car accident? trauma to your bowel in a car accident? trauma to your bowel in a car accident? And then also you have parasites in your And then also you have parasites in your And then also you have parasites in your gut because you ate buffet sushi all gut because you ate buffet sushi all gut because you ate buffet sushi all your life. Okay, so we got three things your life. Okay, so we got three things your life. Okay, so we got three things going on that are all causing irritable going on that are all causing irritable going on that are all causing irritable bowel syndrome. But what's the bowel syndrome. But what's the bowel syndrome. But what's the hierarchy? Because something is more hierarchy? Because something is more hierarchy? Because something is more foundational than the others. Is it that foundational than the others. Is it that foundational than the others. Is it that the chronic emotional stress is the the chronic emotional stress is the the chronic emotional stress is the foundation? Is it the parasites or the foundation? Is it the parasites or the foundation? Is it the parasites or the foundation? That is for a practitioner foundation? That is for a practitioner foundation? That is for a practitioner to figure to figure to figure out. And it's also for you as the out. And it's also for you as the out. And it's also for you as the client, as the patient, as the member to client, as the patient, as the member to client, as the patient, as the member to figure out. It's a collaborative effort. figure out. It's a collaborative effort. figure out. It's a collaborative effort. We shouldn't be delegating our entire We shouldn't be delegating our entire We shouldn't be delegating our entire well-being to another person. You know, well-being to another person. You know, well-being to another person. You know, something that I remember thinking about something that I remember thinking about something that I remember thinking about when I got pregnant with my my son Q. I when I got pregnant with my my son Q. I when I got pregnant with my my son Q. I was thinking about how I felt so much was thinking about how I felt so much was thinking about how I felt so much more, I think, calm and collected more, I think, calm and collected more, I think, calm and collected compared to a lot of firsttime moms. And compared to a lot of firsttime moms. And compared to a lot of firsttime moms. And it's because of the knowledge that I had it's because of the knowledge that I had it's because of the knowledge that I had of the human body. And this wasn't of the human body. And this wasn't of the human body. And this wasn't necessarily just about his well-being, necessarily just about his well-being, necessarily just about his well-being, but I knew how to manage my my body but I knew how to manage my my body but I knew how to manage my my body through my pregnancy. So, I never had through my pregnancy. So, I never had through my pregnancy. So, I never had morning sickness and I didn't have back morning sickness and I didn't have back morning sickness and I didn't have back pain and all of these debilitating pain and all of these debilitating pain and all of these debilitating things. I also knew where to say no, things. I also knew where to say no, things. I also knew where to say no, which was the majority of conventional which was the majority of conventional which was the majority of conventional medicine's testing and interventions medicine's testing and interventions medicine's testing and interventions that they they're just protocol. They that they they're just protocol. They that they they're just protocol. They they're they're don't show any validity they're they're don't show any validity they're they're don't show any validity to the health and outcomes of my baby. to the health and outcomes of my baby. to the health and outcomes of my baby. If anything, they're fearinducing for If anything, they're fearinducing for If anything, they're fearinducing for most people. most people. most people. And and then after that it was I I knew And and then after that it was I I knew And and then after that it was I I knew if there was anything with my child, I if there was anything with my child, I if there was anything with my child, I knew how to navigate it. I I I didn't knew how to navigate it. I I I didn't knew how to navigate it. I I I didn't fear the possibilities. I just I knew fear the possibilities. I just I knew fear the possibilities. I just I knew that I had the tools and the that I had the tools and the that I had the tools and the knowledge. And so I thought about the knowledge. And so I thought about the knowledge. And so I thought about the fact fact fact that majority of of women, moms, parents that majority of of women, moms, parents that majority of of women, moms, parents don't have that knowledge. And so Dr. don't have that knowledge. And so Dr. don't have that knowledge. And so Dr. Nick and I have talked, you know, we Nick and I have talked, you know, we Nick and I have talked, you know, we talk all the time about our our next talk all the time about our our next talk all the time about our our next phase of our mission, our career, our phase of our mission, our career, our phase of our mission, our career, our purpose. And, you know, we realize that purpose. And, you know, we realize that purpose. And, you know, we realize that one of the things that we feel very one of the things that we feel very one of the things that we feel very passionately about is teaching people passionately about is teaching people passionately about is teaching people how to not need a doctor, including us. how to not need a doctor, including us. how to not need a doctor, including us. Um, and it's partly because we, you Um, and it's partly because we, you Um, and it's partly because we, you know, people are like, "Do does your son know, people are like, "Do does your son know, people are like, "Do does your son have a pediatrician?" No. What the [  ] have a pediatrician?" No. What the [  ] have a pediatrician?" No. What the [  ] does he even need a pediatrician? Like, does he even need a pediatrician?

Do they want to they have to offer me? Do they want to pressure me into shots? Okay, good luck pressure me into shots? Okay, good luck pressure me into shots? Okay, good luck with that, man. You know, are they going with that, man. You know, are they going with that, man. You know, are they going to tell me to give him a vitamin with to tell me to give him a vitamin with to tell me to give him a vitamin with fluoride in it? Cool. Also a hard no. fluoride in it? Cool. Also a hard no. fluoride in it? Cool. Also a hard no. Like it's just it's a it's a comical Like it's just it's a it's a comical Like it's just it's a it's a comical thing that this is who we are delegating thing that this is who we are delegating thing that this is who we are delegating our well-being and our family's our well-being and our family's our well-being and our family's well-being to you know some of the well-being to you know some of the well-being to you know some of the biggest things that I the biggest things biggest things that I the biggest things biggest things that I the biggest things that I've learned over the years of that I've learned over the years of that I've learned over the years of doing what I do is holy [  ] medicine is doing what I do is holy [  ] medicine is doing what I do is holy [  ] medicine is so am is so ambiguous and so subjective. so am is so ambiguous and so subjective. so am is so ambiguous and so subjective. You think that you're going in and You think that you're going in and You think that you're going in and you're getting you know this very very you're getting you know this very very you're getting you know this very very objective data driven objective data driven objective data driven like like like information. It's so subjective. It's, information. It's so subjective. It's, information. It's so subjective. It's, oh, the doctor saw this work one time. oh, the doctor saw this work one time. oh, the doctor saw this work one time. The doctor saw another family that kind The doctor saw another family that kind The doctor saw another family that kind of looks like your family and and they of looks like your family and and they of looks like your family and and they think that because it worked for them, think that because it worked for them, think that because it worked for them, it might work for you. Um, they were it might work for you. Um, they were it might work for you. Um, they were presented a study that was just presented a study that was just presented a study that was just completed by a pharmaceutical company, completed by a pharmaceutical company, completed by a pharmaceutical company, but the pharmaceutical company was the but the pharmaceutical company was the but the pharmaceutical company was the person was the company who funded the person was the company who funded the person was the company who funded the study because it was really in favor of study because it was really in favor of study because it was really in favor of promoting a certain drug. promoting a certain drug. promoting a certain drug. Yeah, it it's just it it's it's Yeah, it it's just it it's it's Yeah, it it's just it it's it's ridiculous. It's so subjective. It is ridiculous. It's so subjective. It is ridiculous. It's so subjective. It is not data driven. It is. And if you think not data driven. It is. And if you think not data driven. It is. And if you think that because your doctor is wellversed that because your doctor is wellversed that because your doctor is wellversed on studies and research, all of that on studies and research, all of that on studies and research, all of that [  ] is skewed too. It's who funded it. [  ] is skewed too. It's who funded it. [  ] is skewed too. It's who funded it. What was the intention? What was the What was the intention? What was the What was the intention? What was the outcome they wanted? because chances are outcome they wanted? because chances are outcome they wanted? because chances are whatever outcome they wanted or expected whatever outcome they wanted or expected whatever outcome they wanted or expected is what was achieved through the [  ] is what was achieved through the [  ] is what was achieved through the [  ] study. Like we have to use common sense. study. Like we have to use common sense. study. Like we have to use common sense. And if I hear one more time that And if I hear one more time that And if I hear one more time that correlation is not causation, well, you correlation is not causation, well, you correlation is not causation, well, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm going to roll know what? I'm sorry. I'm going to roll know what? I'm sorry. I'm going to roll with correlation after I saw thousands with correlation after I saw thousands with correlation after I saw thousands of people with this correlation compared of people with this correlation compared of people with this correlation compared to the study that told me the opposite to the study that told me the opposite to the study that told me the opposite that was funded by a company that was that was funded by a company that was that was funded by a company that was going to make profit off of whatever the going to make profit off of whatever the going to make profit off of whatever the outcome of the study was. Like, okay, outcome of the study was. Like, okay, outcome of the study was. Like, okay, you know, there's a big difference you know, there's a big difference you know, there's a big difference between studies and real life people between studies and real life people between studies and real life people with real life problems and real life with real life problems and real life with real life problems and real life stressors and real life environmental stressors and real life environmental stressors and real life environmental toxins. It's it's a very very different toxins. It's it's a very very different toxins. It's it's a very very different ballgame. And so I'm bringing this ballgame. And so I'm bringing this ballgame. And so I'm bringing this information to you because I want you information to you because I want you information to you because I want you guys to understand what the system is guys to understand what the system is guys to understand what the system is built off of. It is literally built off built off of. It is literally built off built off of. It is literally built off of give what you have going on a label. of give what you have going on a label. of give what you have going on a label. Even though that label provides zero Even though that label provides zero Even though that label provides zero value to you, it does not give you any value to you, it does not give you any value to you, it does not give you any insight to the root cause. It just gives insight to the root cause. It just gives insight to the root cause. It just gives you a description of your symptoms. you a description of your symptoms. you a description of your symptoms. Because as soon as we can have a Because as soon as we can have a Because as soon as we can have a description of your symptoms, what we description of your symptoms, what we description of your symptoms, what we call a diagnosis code, we now know the call a diagnosis code, we now know the call a diagnosis code, we now know the treatment that the textbook told us that treatment that the textbook told us that treatment that the textbook told us that is good for you. It's this drug or this is good for you. It's this drug or this is good for you. It's this drug or this shot, this injection or this surgical shot, this injection or this surgical shot, this injection or this surgical procedure, which all are money makers procedure, which all are money makers procedure, which all are money makers for that industry. There is no money in for that industry. There is no money in for that industry. There is no money in healthy people. And so, of course, you healthy people. And so, of course, you healthy people. And so, of course, you know, get into integrative medicine, know, get into integrative medicine, know, get into integrative medicine, you're like, well, everybody's out of you're like, well, everybody's out of you're like, well, everybody's out of pocket and I got to pay for all these pocket and I got to pay for all these pocket and I got to pay for all these things. Yeah, I get it. But that's things. Yeah, I get it. But that's things. Yeah, I get it. But that's because we're the people working against because we're the people working against because we're the people working against that system and they don't if we want to that system and they don't if we want to that system and they don't if we want to insurance is not paying us because we're insurance is not paying us because we're insurance is not paying us because we're outside of the system. We're outside of outside of the system. We're outside of outside of the system. We're outside of the model. They're going to pay us. And the model. They're going to pay us. And the model. They're going to pay us. And so everybody's got to put food on the so everybody's got to put food on the so everybody's got to put food on the table. So So do table. So So do table. So So do we. And you know, it's all a matter of we. And you know, it's all a matter of we. And you know, it's all a matter of if we're going to give you the time and if we're going to give you the time and if we're going to give you the time and the attention that the conventional the attention that the conventional the attention that the conventional medicine never gave you, which actually medicine never gave you, which actually medicine never gave you, which actually led you to probably have more issues, led you to probably have more issues, led you to probably have more issues, more disease, and more chronic illness. more disease, and more chronic illness. more disease, and more chronic illness. You know, that takes a lot of time, You know, that takes a lot of time, You know, that takes a lot of time, effort, data, effort, data, effort, data, analysis, and expertise. And so that's analysis, and expertise. And so that's analysis, and expertise. And so that's what, you know, integrative medicine is what, you know, integrative medicine is what, you know, integrative medicine is up against is trying to essentially up against is trying to essentially up against is trying to essentially patch the holes of of conventional patch the holes of of conventional patch the holes of of conventional medicine. But again, you know, because I medicine. But again, you know, because I medicine. But again, you know, because I want this to be thoughtprovoking and want this to be thoughtprovoking and want this to be thoughtprovoking and empowering for you guys is that not all empowering for you guys is that not all empowering for you guys is that not all integrative medicine functional medicine integrative medicine functional medicine integrative medicine functional medicine practitioners are created equal. This practitioners are created equal. This practitioners are created equal. This isn't just about, you know, oh, we found isn't just about, you know, oh, we found isn't just about, you know, oh, we found the root cause. The root cause is your the root cause. The root cause is your the root cause. The root cause is your parasites and your mercury that are parasites and your mercury that are parasites and your mercury that are causing your irritable bowel syndrome. causing your irritable bowel syndrome. causing your irritable bowel syndrome. let's deal with it. It's okay. What are let's deal with it. It's okay. What are let's deal with it. It's okay. What are all the possible root causes based off all the possible root causes based off all the possible root causes based off of the testing? And then what's the of the testing? And then what's the of the testing? And then what's the hierarchy of them? What what strategy hierarchy of them? What what strategy hierarchy of them? What what strategy are we taking to address things that are are we taking to address things that are are we taking to address things that are most foundational to the things that are most foundational to the things that are most foundational to the things that are most most most superficial? Because chances are if you superficial? Because chances are if you superficial? Because chances are if you deal with the most foundational thing, deal with the most foundational thing, deal with the most foundational thing, then everything else gets a lot easier. then everything else gets a lot easier. then everything else gets a lot easier. So, you know, if the most foundational So, you know, if the most foundational So, you know, if the most foundational thing is the chronic stress and the thing is the chronic stress and the thing is the chronic stress and the chronic fight orflight syndrome that a chronic fight orflight syndrome that a chronic fight orflight syndrome that a person is person is person is under, if you help to work on that under, if you help to work on that under, if you help to work on that layer, then you might have to do one layer, then you might have to do one layer, then you might have to do one month of a parasite protocol, two months month of a parasite protocol, two months month of a parasite protocol, two months of a parasite protocol, and almost all of a parasite protocol, and almost all of a parasite protocol, and almost all of their symptoms are now resolved. Or of their symptoms are now resolved. Or of their symptoms are now resolved. Or if you say, "Oh, I don't deal with if you say, "Oh, I don't deal with if you say, "Oh, I don't deal with mental and emotional, you know, they mental and emotional, you know, they mental and emotional, you know, they need to go to their psychotherapist for need to go to their psychotherapist for need to go to their psychotherapist for that. I'm just a, you know, treating that. I'm just a, you know, treating that. I'm just a, you know, treating parasites." So now you go and you treat parasites." So now you go and you treat parasites." So now you go and you treat the parasites and now the person's on a the parasites and now the person's on a the parasites and now the person's on a parasite protocol for 6 months, nine parasite protocol for 6 months, nine parasite protocol for 6 months, nine months, a year and now they're getting months, a year and now they're getting months, a year and now they're getting pissed off because they spent a bunch of pissed off because they spent a bunch of pissed off because they spent a bunch of money and time and you're frustrated. money and time and you're frustrated. money and time and you're frustrated. What's going on? Why is this not What's going on? Why is this not What's going on? Why is this not working? This worked in all my other working? This worked in all my other working? This worked in all my other clients and it's because it wasn't clients and it's because it wasn't clients and it's because it wasn't foundational. I it's because you're foundational. I it's because you're foundational. I it's because you're you're literally not addressing the you're literally not addressing the you're literally not addressing the elephant in the room, which is chronic elephant in the room, which is chronic elephant in the room, which is chronic stress, which is shutting down the stress, which is shutting down the stress, which is shutting down the immune function and slowing down bowel immune function and slowing down bowel immune function and slowing down bowel mo motility. And so this is one example mo motility. And so this is one example mo motility. And so this is one example of like a million examples. I'm not of like a million examples. I'm not of like a million examples. I'm not saying that mental emotional is always saying that mental emotional is always saying that mental emotional is always foundational, but that it is something foundational, but that it is something foundational, but that it is something important to to be looked at. That's for important to to be looked at. That's for important to to be looked at. That's for damn sure. And so, you know, it really damn sure. And so, you know, it really damn sure. And so, you know, it really comes down to we need to stop we need to comes down to we need to stop we need to comes down to we need to stop we need to stop thinking that we don't have to stop thinking that we don't have to stop thinking that we don't have to think about our health until it's a think about our health until it's a think about our health until it's a problem. And I think that this is one of problem. And I think that this is one of problem. And I think that this is one of the biggest issues is that we live in a the biggest issues is that we live in a the biggest issues is that we live in a world like one of the craziest thing I'm world like one of the craziest thing I'm world like one of the craziest thing I'm I'm literally popping all over the I'm literally popping all over the I'm literally popping all over the place, but one of the the craziest place, but one of the the craziest place, but one of the the craziest things is when I hear [  ] things is when I hear [  ] things is when I hear [  ] like why would this food be allowed to like why would this food be allowed to like why would this food be allowed to be sold if it was be sold if it was be sold if it was toxic? Why would they sell this this toxic? Why would they sell this this toxic? Why would they sell this this cream if it has toxins in it? Like how cream if it has toxins in it?

Why would that be would that be would that be allowed? Like one holy hell. Where did allowed? Like one holy hell. Where did allowed? Like one holy hell. Where did your common sense and critical thinking your common sense and critical thinking your common sense and critical thinking go? go? go? Like what? No, that's No. No. We like we Like what? No, that's No. No. We like we Like what? No, that's No. No. We like we got foundational work to do if that's got foundational work to do if that's got foundational work to do if that's where you're at where you're at where you're at because it's it's not about that. One, because it's it's not about that. One, because it's it's not about that. One, you have a hierarchy of systems. You you have a hierarchy of systems. You you have a hierarchy of systems. You have a hierarchy of of for-profit have a hierarchy of of for-profit have a hierarchy of of for-profit corporations that run the world. And so corporations that run the world. And so corporations that run the world. And so far is a multi-t trillion dollar far is a multi-t trillion dollar far is a multi-t trillion dollar industry. And so they are directly industry. And so they are directly industry. And so they are directly correlating and in influencing our food correlating and in influencing our food correlating and in influencing our food industries and our personal product industries and our personal product industries and our personal product industries. And it has gotten more and industries. And it has gotten more and industries. And it has gotten more and more and more and more lax as to what more and more and more lax as to what more and more and more lax as to what chemicals can be out on the market in chemicals can be out on the market in chemicals can be out on the market in small amounts in our food, in our small amounts in our food, in our small amounts in our food, in our personal products, in our water, etc. personal products, in our water, etc. personal products, in our water, etc. You're exposed to [  ] [  ] left and You're exposed to [  ] [  ] left and You're exposed to [  ] [  ] left and right.

So, we need to figure out how we can get So, we need to figure out how we can get So, we need to figure out how we can get to a point that we trust ourselves more. to a point that we trust ourselves more. to a point that we trust ourselves more. We we delegate our well-being to We we delegate our well-being to We we delegate our well-being to ourselves and then we seek ourselves and then we seek ourselves and then we seek out we seek out the information that we out we seek out the information that we out we seek out the information that we can't get from ourselves. What I mean by can't get from ourselves. What I mean by can't get from ourselves. What I mean by that is you can't run your own labs. You that is you can't run your own labs. You that is you can't run your own labs. You can't run your own DNA testing. You can't run your own DNA testing. You can't run your own DNA testing. You can't like there are certain specialties can't like there are certain specialties can't like there are certain specialties and and techniques that people have, and and techniques that people have, and and techniques that people have, practitioners, experts have that, you practitioners, experts have that, you practitioners, experts have that, you know, you won't be able to access. You know, you won't be able to access. You know, you won't be able to access. You know, who's who's going out and buying a know, who's who's going out and buying a know, who's who's going out and buying a a million-doll CT scan machine? like you a million-doll CT scan machine? like you a million-doll CT scan machine? like you know these are things that we we can know these are things that we we can know these are things that we we can outsource and then we can also have outsource and then we can also have outsource and then we can also have enough knowledge to say you know what enough knowledge to say you know what enough knowledge to say you know what what is what are the results of this what is what are the results of this what is what are the results of this mean you know oh they tell you you know mean you know oh they tell you you know mean you know oh they tell you you know you did a a CT score or a CT scan and uh you did a a CT score or a CT scan and uh you did a a CT score or a CT scan and uh you have a bunch of calcium in your you have a bunch of calcium in your you have a bunch of calcium in your arteries you know it are we really just arteries you know it are we really just arteries you know it are we really just going to say oh that is that's because going to say oh that is that's because going to say oh that is that's because of I'm getting atherosclerosis I have of I'm getting atherosclerosis I have of I'm getting atherosclerosis I have heart disease end of story or are we heart disease end of story or are we heart disease end of story or are we going to take the time to figure out and going to take the time to figure out and going to take the time to figure out and and understand why would I have calcium and understand why would I have calcium and understand why would I have calcium buildup in my system? You know, what buildup in my system? You know, what buildup in my system? You know, what what are you reading about? What are you what are you reading about? What are you what are you reading about?
