E:43 Root Cause of Disease - Are You Making Yourself Sick?

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 11:00:00 -0000

What are the origins of all disease? Michael and Steve look at the root cause of all diseases … internal, emotional conflict.

Discover the holistic perspective of the vital mind-body-spirit connection. If you’re not giving the brain the right nutrients to meet its needs, the body will respond accordingly. But just as important is that if you’re not giving the mind and spirit what’s needed, the body will also respond to that imbalance.

As Michael says, “Every disease and condition begins between the ears.” You can track every disease back to an emotional conflict or a genetic disposition. Are you bothered by stiff joints from arthritis? The root cause could be inflexible thinking. Let that sink in. You could be thinking your body into conditions and diseases!

What condition(s) are you dealing with? Are you ready for the holistic challenge? Let us know what you’re doing to bring yourself into balance and harmony.

Michael and Steve share more risk factors for Alzheimer’s/dementia and give practical tips on how to slow or stop the disease by changing your lifestyle with “baby steps”.

Did you know that being female is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s? So is head trauma, and social isolation where there’s little interaction with others or mental stimulation. Aluminum cookware and antiperspirants containing aluminum are also risks.

So how can we slow or prevent Alzheimer’s?

Participate in a healthy social life
Get enough important nutrients, such as Gingko Biloba and Gotu Kola
Eliminate or reduce fatty foods, fried foods, and dairy products
Eliminate or reduce the use of aluminum cookware
Change to non-aluminum personal care items
Get enough physical exercise, including outdoor activities
Participate in mentally stimulating games and activities

Finally, never assume others have all the answers for your life and health. (Michael drives this point home with a startling account of what researchers discovered after various doctor strikes at hospitals around the world.)

Be proactive and do your research. Most importantly, listen to your own intuition.

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Michael and Steve continue sharing the signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF).

What happens when signs and symptoms aren’t addressed in the early stages of a condition? Sometimes people ignore symptoms or feel that they’re already on medication so there’s no need to go any deeper. That neglect allows a continual breakdown of the body system, gland, organ or function, and the cascading effect creates additional diseases, including cardiovascular issues.

How does changing your mind change your life and your reality?

What about the question "Why?" "Why" is one of the best words in our language, along with the word "understanding". When you question the "why" about anything, it can lead you to better choices in terms of your health and your approach to your lifestyle.

E:4 Early Warning Signs of Covid Infections

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 12:00:00 -0000

In this episode we discuss what to look for in terms of early warning signs that someone has contracted Covid.

We also reviewed the concept of the vaccination being more of an RNA blocker than a true vaccination. RNA is the blueprint (DNA) being carried into a cell for replication. Also covered were the ongoing problems that Covid patients have, such as trouble breathing and brain fog and how to treat them with certain nutrients.

Other symptoms were staying awake, as well as skin discoloration. It was brought up that sometimes there is a blue tint, which raised a little bit of a conversation about “Mr. Smurf,” the man who took too much colloidal silver, which turned his skin blue.

Another discussion centered around the value of experience and wisdom, plus the theory and reality of what works and what does not work in terms of healing.

We also reflected on why some people get sick and others do not, as well as why some have lingering ongoing symptoms and why some die from the disease.

We also addressed lifestyle, suggestions for diet, and the consequences of the American diet. Along the same lines the guides discussed how the body becomes weakened because of poor diet, and how stress also compromises the health and well-being of the body.

We talk about stress and what takes place when that occurs, especially to the adrenal glands. How to fix and nourish the adrenals is also brought to light. Stress is defined, along with examples and the immediate bio-chemical and physiological results when a person experiences it.

We talked about the methods and techniques to discover the roots of what causes you to have stress. Once understood the causes can be eliminated.

The mind is described as a bio-computer, and understanding the energies one has to deal with in terms of lifestyle changes, examining which to give up, and what is and is not beneficial were discussed.

Additionally, another conversation examined the concept of values, standards and ideals and how they affect oneself.
