So if you're trying to ever get back to So if you're trying to ever get back to So if you're trying to ever get back to where you were in life, it's always where you were in life, it's always where you were in life, it's always going to be a downfall because that was going to be a downfall because that was going to be a downfall because that was a part of creating who you are today. So a part of creating who you are today. So a part of creating who you are today. So he was open initially from the he was open initially from the he was open initially from the standpoint to standpoint to standpoint to what do I have to do? What do I have to what do I have to do? What do I have to what do I have to do? What do I have to be? What do I have to learn? Like he was be? What do I have to learn? Like he was be? What do I have to learn? Like he was just open like he said to everything. just open like he said to everything. just open like he said to everything. And through that he didn't feel better. And through that he didn't feel better. And through that he didn't feel better. He became a different human being which He became a different human being which He became a different human being which allowed him to change which allowed him allowed him to change which allowed him allowed him to change which allowed him to feel better which is a completely to feel better which is a completely to feel better which is a completely different scenario. different scenario. different scenario. I want to be very clear on what I mean I want to be very clear on what I mean I want to be very clear on what I mean by this. by this. by this. He relinquished He relinquished He relinquished control. Because people will say, "No, I control. Because people will say, "No, I control. Because people will say, "No, I trust you. That's why I'm on this phone trust you. That's why I'm on this phone trust you. That's why I'm on this phone call with you." But they will not always call with you." But they will not always call with you." But they will not always relinquish control. They still need to relinquish control. They still need to relinquish control. They still need to be in control of aspects of their be in control of aspects of their be in control of aspects of their healing. and they don't surrender to the healing. and they don't surrender to the healing. and they don't surrender to the possibilities that maybe you're going to possibilities that maybe you're going to possibilities that maybe you're going to start supplements and maybe you're going start supplements and maybe you're going start supplements and maybe you're going to feel like [  ] Maybe you're going to to feel like [  ] Maybe you're going to to feel like [  ] Maybe you're going to start a detox protocol and maybe you're start a detox protocol and maybe you're start a detox protocol and maybe you're going to gain a couple pounds because going to gain a couple pounds because going to gain a couple pounds because you're going to have all of this you're going to have all of this you're going to have all of this inflammation that's going to increase inflammation that's going to increase inflammation that's going to increase before it decreases. and you you're before it decreases. and you you're before it decreases. and you you're relinquishing the idea that I'm going to relinquishing the idea that I'm going to relinquishing the idea that I'm going to control every little aspect of this and control every little aspect of this and control every little aspect of this and that I'm going to roll with the good and that I'm going to roll with the good and that I'm going to roll with the good and the bad and I'm going to trust in how the bad and I'm going to trust in how the bad and I'm going to trust in how you're guiding me and what you're you're guiding me and what you're you're guiding me and what you're telling me. telling me. telling me. The whole moral of the story is is that The whole moral of the story is is that The whole moral of the story is is that those phone calls and the conversations those phone calls and the conversations those phone calls and the conversations that unfolded really led to this that unfolded really led to this that unfolded really led to this podcast. podcast. podcast. And something that I found myself self And something that I found myself self And something that I found myself self saying to certain individuals is based saying to certain individuals is based saying to certain individuals is based on where you are at, on where you are at, on where you are at, there is a strong probability that you there is a strong probability that you there is a strong probability that you will not get the same results as this will not get the same results as this will not get the same results as this individual in the case study. And they individual in the case study. And they individual in the case study. And they were pretty floored by me saying that. were pretty floored by me saying that. were pretty floored by me saying that. Whatever is suppressed has to be Whatever is suppressed has to be Whatever is suppressed has to be expressed. There's you you can't it's expressed. There's you you can't it's expressed. There's you you can't it's impossible to live a one-sided life. So impossible to live a one-sided life. So impossible to live a one-sided life. So you can't live all expression. You can't you can't live all expression. You can't you can't live all expression. You can't live all suppression. Health, vitality, live all suppression. Health, vitality, live all suppression. Health, vitality, gratitude, love, joy. It's that's all in gratitude, love, joy. It's that's all in gratitude, love, joy. It's that's all in the middle. The balanced state where the middle. The balanced state where the middle. The balanced state where there's no force. there's no force. there's no force. So if you have parasite infection, those So if you have parasite infection, those So if you have parasite infection, those parasites are there for a purpose. parasites are there for a purpose. parasites are there for a purpose. They're counterbalancing another energy. They're counterbalancing another energy. They're counterbalancing another energy. You You You [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] In this era of AI, In this era of AI, In this era of AI, the it's not just about the it's not just about the it's not just about access to information, access to information, access to information, but it's essentially access to but it's essentially access to but it's essentially access to information that has been suppressed. Yeah. I mean, I think AI is allowing us Yeah. I mean, I think AI is allowing us Yeah. I mean, I think AI is allowing us to be a lot more efficient in accessing to be a lot more efficient in accessing to be a lot more efficient in accessing more information. Uh, for sure. Um, I more information. Uh, for sure. Um, I more information. Uh, for sure. Um, I think that's part of the algorithm think that's part of the algorithm think that's part of the algorithm behind it. But I also think on the back behind it. But I also think on the back behind it. But I also think on the back end, you know, we're we're getting end, you know, we're we're getting end, you know, we're we're getting deeper into this information age. Um, so deeper into this information age. Um, so deeper into this information age. Um, so we're just going to naturally have we're just going to naturally have we're just going to naturally have access to more and more. And it's going access to more and more. And it's going access to more and more. And it's going to be to be to be uh a necessary probably evil for for uh a necessary probably evil for for uh a necessary probably evil for for some that don't want to see the bigger some that don't want to see the bigger some that don't want to see the bigger picture of, you know, not only just the picture of, you know, not only just the picture of, you know, not only just the bad, but there's good, too. Um, both bad, but there's good, too. Um, both bad, but there's good, too. Um, both sides have been suppressed, kind of sides have been suppressed, kind of sides have been suppressed, kind of keeping humanity numb. But that's like keeping humanity numb. But that's like keeping humanity numb. But that's like what gets me so excited about AI is the what gets me so excited about AI is the what gets me so excited about AI is the access to to more information and the access to to more information and the access to to more information and the efficiency to it. You know, when you efficiency to it. You know, when you efficiency to it. You know, when you think about think about think about most important thing is time and energy. most important thing is time and energy. most important thing is time and energy. So if we can spend less time figuring So if we can spend less time figuring So if we can spend less time figuring out, you know, better results, we're out, you know, better results, we're out, you know, better results, we're going to have more energy going to have more energy going to have more energy in life is the quality of our life is in life is the quality of our life is in life is the quality of our life is dictated by the quality of the questions dictated by the quality of the questions dictated by the quality of the questions you ask. So, if you're going to ask AI a you ask. So, if you're going to ask AI a you ask. So, if you're going to ask AI a question connected back to the big toe, question connected back to the big toe, question connected back to the big toe, you could be like, um, hey AI, what if you could be like, um, hey AI, what if you could be like, um, hey AI, what if you have a name? Um, you know, what you have a name? Um, you know, what you have a name? Um, you know, what could be the top issues causing could be the top issues causing could be the top issues causing physical, chemical, neurological, physical, chemical, neurological, physical, chemical, neurological, metaphysical, meridian pain in my big metaphysical, meridian pain in my big metaphysical, meridian pain in my big toe. And toe. And toe. And it would list out this is connected to it would list out this is connected to it would list out this is connected to L5 nerve. this is connected to this L5 nerve. this is connected to this L5 nerve. this is connected to this meridian, this is connected and it could meridian, this is connected and it could meridian, this is connected and it could give you all these possibilities give you all these possibilities give you all these possibilities um so that we have more awareness so um so that we have more awareness so um so that we have more awareness so that we can be like oh yeah that that that we can be like oh yeah that that that we can be like oh yeah that that skin rash is literally falling in a skin rash is literally falling in a skin rash is literally falling in a meridian it's a meridian issue you know meridian it's a meridian issue you know meridian it's a meridian issue you know that's connected to this organ so is it that's connected to this organ so is it that's connected to this organ so is it the organ creating the dysfunction in the organ creating the dysfunction in the organ creating the dysfunction in the meridian or is it just you know the meridian or is it just you know the meridian or is it just you know imbalance of chie flow I just need some imbalance of chie flow I just need some imbalance of chie flow I just need some acupuncture or some red light or laser acupuncture or some red light or laser acupuncture or some red light or laser therapy on it so it it can allow us to therapy on it so it it can allow us to therapy on it so it it can allow us to get more efficient. You know, kind of get more efficient. You know, kind of get more efficient. You know, kind of like all that time you spent creating like all that time you spent creating like all that time you spent creating what I call the B. what I call the B. what I call the B. So, this information age that we are in So, this information age that we are in So, this information age that we are in that's going to only that's going to only that's going to only get bigger, I guess you can say, is get bigger, I guess you can say, is get bigger, I guess you can say, is don't be the person that just gobbles up don't be the person that just gobbles up don't be the person that just gobbles up tons of information and then doesn't tons of information and then doesn't tons of information and then doesn't know what to do with it. If anything, know what to do with it. If anything, know what to do with it. If anything, take in relevant information take in relevant information take in relevant information and then have the the right team or the and then have the the right team or the and then have the the right team or the right mentors or the right people to right mentors or the right people to right mentors or the right people to help you use the information to increase help you use the information to increase help you use the information to increase the quality of your life. the quality of your life. the quality of your life. They're instilling a belief system of They're instilling a belief system of They're instilling a belief system of worst case scenario. And if that's the worst case scenario. And if that's the worst case scenario. And if that's the belief system, the placebo effect is belief system, the placebo effect is belief system, the placebo effect is going to say, "Hey, this isn't going to going to say, "Hey, this isn't going to going to say, "Hey, this isn't going to work." And then we're going to give them work." And then we're going to give them work." And then we're going to give them recommendations that are going to create recommendations that are going to create recommendations that are going to create interactions that are going to [  ] them interactions that are going to [  ] them interactions that are going to [  ] them up more. You're in a lose-lose up more. You're in a lose-lose up more. You're in a lose-lose situation. If you get out there, great. situation. If you get out there, great. situation. If you get out there, great. You're literally go buy a lottery ticket You're literally go buy a lottery ticket You're literally go buy a lottery ticket because you're a [  ] winner. You because you're a [  ] winner. You because you're a [  ] winner. You know, you it's the system's [  ] know, you it's the system's [  ] know, you it's the system's [  ] designed to lose. designed to lose. designed to lose. You know, there are many people that You know, there are many people that You know, there are many people that might be listening here that have taken might be listening here that have taken might be listening here that have taken um sleep medications. You know, ambient um sleep medications. You know, ambient um sleep medications. You know, ambient is the most commonly prescribed one. And is the most commonly prescribed one. And is the most commonly prescribed one. And so, one morning we saw that she was so, one morning we saw that she was so, one morning we saw that she was really cognitively off again. And then really cognitively off again. And then really cognitively off again. And then it turned out my dad leaves at night it turned out my dad leaves at night it turned out my dad leaves at night because he has to go home. They have a because he has to go home. They have a because he has to go home. They have a dog, take care of the dog, and then he dog, take care of the dog, and then he dog, take care of the dog, and then he always goes back early in the morning. always goes back early in the morning. always goes back early in the morning. And he's like, "Something's off. And he's like, "Something's off. And he's like, "Something's off. Something's weird." And it turned out Something's weird." And it turned out Something's weird." And it turned out that she couldn't sleep. So they came in that she couldn't sleep. So they came in that she couldn't sleep. So they came in and they gave her ambient. And ambient and they gave her ambient. And ambient and they gave her ambient. And ambient contraindicated for brain injury, number contraindicated for brain injury, number contraindicated for brain injury, number one. Number two is it can make you uh one. Number two is it can make you uh one. Number two is it can make you uh delirious, hallucinatory, especially if delirious, hallucinatory, especially if delirious, hallucinatory, especially if there's brain inflammation already. And there's brain inflammation already. And there's brain inflammation already. And you know, she was acting bizarre. she you know, she was acting bizarre. she you know, she was acting bizarre. she was having a panic attack etc. and it was having a panic attack etc. and it was having a panic attack etc. and it was because of the ambient. Um so then was because of the ambient. Um so then was because of the ambient. Um so then you know when we're like okay so no you know when we're like okay so no you know when we're like okay so no oxycodon no ambient and once we finally oxycodon no ambient and once we finally oxycodon no ambient and once we finally signed off that she was not going to be signed off that she was not going to be signed off that she was not going to be put on any of these mindaltering types put on any of these mindaltering types put on any of these mindaltering types of medications. We're like whoa there of medications. We're like whoa there of medications. We're like whoa there she is. There's there's the woman we she is. There's there's the woman we she is. There's there's the woman we knew. Don't get me wrong. Is she knew. Don't get me wrong. Is she knew. Don't get me wrong. Is she struggling with words? She gets a, you struggling with words? She gets a, you struggling with words? She gets a, you know, it's she's a little slower to know, it's she's a little slower to know, it's she's a little slower to respond. She gets, you know, her words respond. She gets, you know, her words respond. She gets, you know, her words twisted a little bit. That's her brain's twisted a little bit. That's her brain's twisted a little bit. That's her brain's still inflamed. Like, we expect that. We still inflamed. Like, we expect that. We still inflamed. Like, we expect that. We don't think it's permanent, but we don't think it's permanent, but we don't think it's permanent, but we expect that there's going to be some expect that there's going to be some expect that there's going to be some level of difference from who she was level of difference from who she was level of difference from who she was prior to the stroke. And but as soon as prior to the stroke. And but as soon as prior to the stroke. And but as soon as we got those drugs out of the picture, we got those drugs out of the picture, we got those drugs out of the picture, we're able to really see where she's at. we're able to really see where she's at. we're able to really see where she's at. But it could, you know, think about But it could, you know, think about But it could, you know, think about fueling your fear and anxiety and your fueling your fear and anxiety and your fueling your fear and anxiety and your worry is when you're looking at a person worry is when you're looking at a person worry is when you're looking at a person you love and you're like, "What's wrong you love and you're like, "What's wrong you love and you're like, "What's wrong with them? What's wrong? What's wrong?" with them? What's wrong? What's wrong?" with them? What's wrong? What's wrong?" And it has nothing to do with what And it has nothing to do with what And it has nothing to do with what damage is actually there. It has to do damage is actually there. It has to do damage is actually there. It has to do with the [  ] drugs they're giving with the [  ] drugs they're giving with the [  ] drugs they're giving out. out. out. But it's like I also think it goes back But it's like I also think it goes back But it's like I also think it goes back to what you always say is, you know, the to what you always say is, you know, the to what you always say is, you know, the the quality of your of your life is the quality of your of your life is the quality of your of your life is dictated by quality questions. And it's dictated by quality questions. And it's dictated by quality questions. And it's like the quality of your outcomes is like the quality of your outcomes is like the quality of your outcomes is dictated by quality questions. And I dictated by quality questions. And I dictated by quality questions. And I think that a lot of people don't know think that a lot of people don't know think that a lot of people don't know the right questions to ask when you're the right questions to ask when you're the right questions to ask when you're in a hospital setting, when you're in an in a hospital setting, when you're in an in a hospital setting, when you're in an emergency setting. And don't get me emergency setting. And don't get me emergency setting. And don't get me wrong, there's a very powerful wrong, there's a very powerful wrong, there's a very powerful authoritative energy coming from doctors authoritative energy coming from doctors authoritative energy coming from doctors and nurses. They don't want you to and nurses. They don't want you to and nurses. They don't want you to challenge them. They don't like being challenge them. They don't like being challenge them. They don't like being asked questions. At one point there was asked questions. At one point there was asked questions. At one point there was a doctor that got very intense with um a doctor that got very intense with um a doctor that got very intense with um my dad and then I had to step in and he my dad and then I had to step in and he my dad and then I had to step in and he you know he was able to to soften when you know he was able to to soften when you know he was able to to soften when he he understood why we were asking the he he understood why we were asking the he he understood why we were asking the questions that we were. So I understand questions that we were. So I understand questions that we were. So I understand how people kind of get punked out in how people kind of get punked out in how people kind of get punked out in these types of situations. But you these types of situations. But you these types of situations. But you [  ] have every right to be asking [  ] have every right to be asking [  ] have every right to be asking questions to understand the whole questions to understand the whole questions to understand the whole picture of how a family member is being picture of how a family member is being picture of how a family member is being being treated and what's being being treated and what's being being treated and what's being recommended. You know, uh, one of the recommended. You know, uh, one of the recommended. You know, uh, one of the other factors that I I think that could other factors that I I think that could other factors that I I think that could have been very very confusing for family have been very very confusing for family have been very very confusing for family members in this same situation that members in this same situation that members in this same situation that we've been in is that uh, when my mom we've been in is that uh, when my mom we've been in is that uh, when my mom was first admitted and it was in the was first admitted and it was in the was first admitted and it was in the within the first week where she was in within the first week where she was in within the first week where she was in the emergency room, you know, of course, the emergency room, you know, of course, the emergency room, you know, of course, we're evaluating, we're observing her in we're evaluating, we're observing her in we're evaluating, we're observing her in a um, not a great cognitive state and a um, not a great cognitive state and a um, not a great cognitive state and we're trying we're looking at this of we're trying we're looking at this of we're trying we're looking at this of like is this damage from the stroke? Is like is this damage from the stroke? Is like is this damage from the stroke? Is this damage from the hemorrhage? Is this this damage from the hemorrhage? Is this this damage from the hemorrhage? Is this medication induced? Like what is this? medication induced? Like what is this? medication induced? Like what is this? It's hard to know. It's very hard to It's hard to know. It's very hard to It's hard to know. It's very hard to know even when you're you know asking know even when you're you know asking know even when you're you know asking questions. And at one point my mom was questions. And at one point my mom was questions. And at one point my mom was they sat her up and she was slopped over they sat her up and she was slopped over they sat her up and she was slopped over to the to the side which was her left to the to the side which was her left to the to the side which was her left side which is the side of paralysis. side which is the side of paralysis. side which is the side of paralysis. And she's like, "Oh, like and I, this is And she's like, "Oh, like and I, this is And she's like, "Oh, like and I, this is going to be kind of funny because I going to be kind of funny because I going to be kind of funny because I asked my mom, I go, "Mom, how do you asked my mom, I go, "Mom, how do you asked my mom, I go, "Mom, how do you feel in this moment? Like, do you feel feel in this moment? Like, do you feel feel in this moment? Like, do you feel anxious? Do you feel worried? Do you anxious? Do you feel worried? Do you anxious? Do you feel worried? Do you feel calm? Like, what do you feel right feel calm? Like, what do you feel right feel calm? Like, what do you feel right now? Do you feel confused?" She's like, now? Do you feel confused?" She's like, now? Do you feel confused?" She's like, "I feel really relaxed." "I feel really relaxed." "I feel really relaxed." And I was like, "You ain't never And I was like, "You ain't never And I was like, "You ain't never relaxed." So, I put I go, "Dad, turn the relaxed." So, I put I go, "Dad, turn the relaxed." So, I put I go, "Dad, turn the phone." I go, "She's high as fuck." And phone." I go, "She's high as fuck." And phone." I go, "She's high as fuck." And it turned out that they were giving her it turned out that they were giving her it turned out that they were giving her excessive amounts of oxycodon, excessive amounts of oxycodon, excessive amounts of oxycodon, which is a narcotic. It's an opioid. It which is a narcotic. It's an opioid. It which is a narcotic. It's an opioid. It is literally essentially the same thing is literally essentially the same thing is literally essentially the same thing as heroin. It's just time released. And as heroin. It's just time released. And as heroin. It's just time released. And I started to, you know, and listen, she I started to, you know, and listen, she I started to, you know, and listen, she just had a stroke. I imagine that it just had a stroke. I imagine that it just had a stroke. I imagine that it feels like somebody put a a spike feels like somebody put a a spike feels like somebody put a a spike through her head. I am not going to be through her head. I am not going to be through her head. I am not going to be ignorant to that to say get her off all ignorant to that to say get her off all ignorant to that to say get her off all these pain medications.
