Hi, this is Dr. Daniels, and you are listening to Healing with Dr. Daniels. Welcome to the Sunday, April 4th podcast edition. And today's title is, Are You Selling Your Happiness for Pennies or Possibly Less? So today, I'm going to reveal this process, how to reverse it, and the impact it can have on your health.

As always, think happens. But first, an update on mom. Mom continues to thrive.

She is replacing staff that have moved on, and she's happy as a clam. All is going well. We had the grandkids just kind of pass through her city, checking on her once a month, and that's working out really well.

There are a few other updates. I think I mentioned that I was brewing some bitters in the What You Got Cooking episode. I have since harvested my bitters, and they are doing amazing.

They taste great, so I would encourage anyone to definitely make their own. And I think that's it for those updates. Also, Vitality Capsules.

Vitality Capsules are our sponsor. Get yours today at vitalitycapsules.com. We continue with the procurement of ingredients, and we hope that will be complete in the next few weeks, so we can get started on the next batch.

So, questions for the radio show should be mailed to jdaaniels@gmail.com. And of course, these questions are answered as time allows. Please keep them brief and toss in a question mark in there so I can know exactly what the question is. We, of course, are not able to get to all questions, and that's why we have appointments.

You can go to vitalitycapsules.com, click appointments, and schedule there. It's completely automated. We are so excited.

Also, there's the home healers course where you can learn to heal yourself at home in less time than it takes to call 9-1-1. Yay! So, are you selling your happiness for pennies? I know, sounds like a bizarre question. I mean, geez, who would sell their happiness for pennies? That's what I thought.

Until at the ripe old age of 52, 53, I met my husband. And he's a motorcycle rider, and so, of course, I was the hot chick on the back of the motorcycle. And so one day, he let me use a helmet.

I noticed he had extra helmets. I thought some other girl must be wearing this helmet, you know. So then one day, he's at the computer, and he looks up and says to me, "I'm going to buy you a motorcycle jacket."

"It's going to be Kevlar. It'll keep you nice and safe." I said, "Oh, well, that's nice."

And so I'm thinking to myself, well, he needs to buy a general size, so it'll fit me or whatever girlfriend he might have next. And so he says, "Well, what size are you?" I said, "Well, I don't know, just medium maybe." He says, "No, no, no, this is for you."

"This is custom." And so he says, "Get a measuring tape, measure yourself. This is going to be precisely custom just for you, totally comfortable."

I said, "Really?" He said, "Yes, this is just for you. There's no point in getting any other size other than the size that's going to make you happy." I said, "Wow."

And for me, that was a huge, huge revelation. And so things just kept going from there. And that was just the beginning.

We were renting an apartment at the time. And you could see that when I cooked, I was reaching for this or reaching for that. He says, "Wait a while."

"You need some shelves." I said, "Oh, well, yeah, I guess I could use shelves." He said, "Well, what height?" I said, "Well, I don't know."

He said, "Well, raise your hand up and touch a comfortable height that you would like for getting things." And so I reached up. I said, "Well, right there."

He took a pencil. He says, "Okay, that's a shelf height. You want another shelf a little higher, a little lower to go with that shelf?" I said, "Wow, really?" And my being in the kitchen was just so much easier.

And then, of course, there's the counter height. I'm a little tall. And so he says, "Well, wait a little bit."

"What would be a good counter height for you?" And so he built in some counters. Now, these are things, I mean, there's going to be a shelf there, but might as well make it the height that's going to work. There's going to be a counter.

Might as well make it the height that's going to be the right counter. So this extended to things like the car seat and really every single choice that was made. I would be at the store comparing prices, figuring out the per pound, per ounce, this, that.

He said, "Wait, wait, wait, which one do you like?" I said, "Well, really, I like that one." He said, "Well, get that one." And I realized that the cost difference for each decision was generally in the range of one cent to a dollar, sometimes two dollars.

And so let's go over all the things that this causes. We often will get a dress that fits or almost fits. A dress that'll be just right once you lose the five pounds or even worse.

A dress that's just right right now, but if you gain one pound, it won't fit. Or this is what I would get. I would get a large watermelon that's cheaper by the pound.

And then I would feel guilty about either wasting or having to juice the part I didn't eat. And so here I have a situation where I'm buying something that doesn't make me happy. And then it leads to me being even less happy because now I'm taking what down here is an expensive fruit and juicing it so it won't spoil, rather than eating it, which would be the preferable way to go.

And so other things like getting a hook that's a little bit larger but holds everything you need and costs 50 cents more than the other hook. Buying something that's a little too small. A kitchen gadget that's three dollars cheaper, but has lower ratings.

This led me to end up buying a meat tenderizer on Amazon that just basically, when I got it, didn't work. Getting things like summer tops for two dollars that look good for two washings or a similar top that costs, in my case, a dollar and lasts 20 washings. Getting one color because it's cheaper, even though you really prefer the other color.

A trash can that's five inches too high or too low. A lamp that is too far from your chair to cast good reading light, but because it's a certain type of lamp, it only fits on the furniture that's further away. Counters in the kitchen that are too high or too low for you to cook comfortably.

What I like, this is by, this is, I don't have any of these anymore, but I used to. A kitchen gadget that doesn't work the way you want but is still taking up space in the drawer, and you have to sort through it to get to what you really want. Shoes that are a little too tight or a little too loose.

Potatoes that are a lot smaller than what I like for my recipe because they cost five cents less a pound. And pretty soon, when you make these decisions, you find yourself surrounded by a world where you just don't fit. Everything is an effort.

The simplest things are difficult or unpleasant, and you wake up, and I used to feel like, oh well, another day. And you're not especially unhappy, but you're not especially happy either, and you kind of get through the day, and you find yourself procrastinating and just putting things off, and all of a sudden everything you do has a lot of friction to it. When you think of doing any simple thing, like opening the refrigerator, for example, all of a sudden it's like, I have to go do that.

And I found that simply putting a price on my happiness solved the whole problem. So I decided that my happiness was worth three dollars. What does that mean? Three dollars.

A lot of people say, "Oh Dr. Daniels, three dollars for your happiness?" Yes, I would not give up my happiness for less than three dollars, and for more than three dollars, I would think about it. So let me show you how this process goes. So if you have a decision to make, decide what would make you the happiest.

Just say what would make you the happiest. If I didn't have to worry about money or what anyone else thought or any other limitations, what would make me the happiest? And make a note of that. Then check your other choices.

If the one that would make you the happiest is three dollars more or less, then do that one. And in many cases, you will find that the choice that makes you happiest actually doesn't even cost any money. Like moving this piece of furniture closer to that piece of furniture or deciding that you're going to take this stuff that's blocking a doorway and just give it away.

And if you apply this to every single decision that you make, and again, be aware of the decisions you're making, little decisions like am I going to wear this shirt or that shirt? And you find yourself not picking a particular shirt, get rid of it, give it away. And the ones you find yourself picking, get more like that. And what you're going to find is little by little, it's going to happen pretty quickly actually, probably a matter of days or even might take a week, you will notice your happiness increasing and that you are surrounded by people and things that make you happy.

Not only that, but the things that you do are going to become easier and easier and easier. And once you get used to asking yourself, "What would make me happy? How could I do this in a way that would make me feel happier?" Then you will find yourself asking this question in more and more situations, and even situations that don't involve money. And this is really an amazing thing.

A lot of times, people are actually giving away their happiness for free, not even for a penny. How could you do that to yourself? Yeah, that's what I thought. How could I do that to myself? But I was literally making decisions based on what people I had never even met and would never meet might think.

And when I started asking myself what would make me happiest, I realized that I was taking into account imagined opinions of strangers. And since I'd never met these people, obviously, their opinions had to be imagined. Like, "Oh, I can't put this hook over here."

"Well, the next person that rents this space might not want the hook there." Like what? Wait a minute. So over time, you will notice you're very, very happy, even though there may not be any external change in your environment.

Once I'd been introduced to this method of decision-making, I found that I just got happier and happier and happier. And I would wake up in the morning just over-the-top happy before the day even got started. And it was just amazing.

I didn't even need to win the lottery or have some amazing event happen, because my whole day was just so comfortable and so easy. And the increased dollar amount of achieving this was, I would say, I might have spent maybe $50 more over the course of a month. And we're talking about making really about five or six decisions a day.

So that's 180 decisions a month at a cost of $50. And just shifting those decisions in a way that creates more happiness. And what happens again is happiness gets a little more, a little more, a little more, a little more, a little more, a little more.

And it becomes just a serious snowball event. So stop giving away your happiness. And what's this got to do with your health? Oh, first of all, making decisions that do not optimize your happiness creates stress, destroys your immune system.

And now that it creates unhappiness, aka sadness, something your doctor would say is depression, and that many people would treat, according to the standard of care, with drugs that are fairly dangerous. So making decisions like this reduces the stress system. So your immune system can function at a better level to keep you healthier.

So this is something that no matter what your budget is, you can start doing, and it will increase your happiness and your health. Now, I realize now that we forgot our turpentine. Oh my God.

So we're going to pause now and take our turpentine, and then we're going to do questions. Okay, let's see. We've got our spoon.

This is a teaspoon, and it's a teaspoon, according to the US teaspoon, which holds five cc's. Then we have our sugar. Again, yeah, you need to label these things because there's a lot of things that are white and granulated, like salt, for example.

Yes, I made that mistake the other day. Ah, terrible. Not good.

All right. So this is white sugar. And then we have our pipette.

This happens to be 2.5 cc's right here at the neck. And then we have turpentine. Yay, turpentine.

Yeah. As you can see, you don't have to be perfect. Just label enough so people realize, hey, it's turpentine.

This is not like some other kind of beverage for consumption. No, this is turpentine. It's poison.

Do not drink it. Use it judiciously and with respect. All right.

So today, when I drew up my turpentine, as you can see, it went a little bit high. So I'm going to squeeze that out. Bam.

So it's right there, right there at the neck. And then we've got... Yeah. And we're going to just drizzle it on.

Drizzle it on. You may or may not be able to see. Yeah, you can see it.

The sugar turns a little grayish color. And we have our handy dandy glass of water. Yay.

Ready to go. Now, that little bit of water I put in my mouth, I swish it around. It actually elevates the sugar and turpentine up off the spoon so it can just go down my throat without me tasting it much at all.

Now, you may have noticed that little burp. And that's common after taking turpentine, that you burp. All right.

We're going to put this paraphernalia away. And next, we have Shilajit. Now, this is Shilajit, also known as Mummy -O.

Also known as Destroyer of Weakness. And you see the label there? Yeah. You can't read that.

I can't either, because it's written in Russian. Yes. Russian Shilajit is the best.

So we're going to pop that top. Pop. I like using a chopstick because it's easy.

So here we have gooey, tarry Shilajit. And we're just going to pull that goo right up there. We've got a little bit here at the tip.

That's a little bit, not quite enough. You want 200 milligrams, which is about a quarter, well, a little less. So a quarter of a quarter teaspoon.

There you go. All right. Take this, drop it in there.

And as you can see, it does not readily dissolve. So we're just going to let that sit there. And as a famous public figure says, we'll circle back.

All right. So let's move these things out of the way. Put the tops back on, so they do not fall over and make a mess, because we don't like cleaning up messes.

There we go. That's that. Okay.

While we wait for the Shilajit to dissolve, what are the questions? We have got tons of questions. Let's see what we got here. No, that's not it.

We're looking for our questions. There we go. Okay.

So question one, Dr. Daniels, I am 73 and in fairly good health. How often should I have a PSA test done? And what can I do to keep my prostate in good working condition? You should never have a PSA test done. And to keep your prostate in good working condition, you should eat, I guess the word would be simple, unprocessed foods.

That would be like fresh vegetables, fresh fruits. And if you want to eat dried goods, that would be things like rice that you cook. And that's what you should do.

Also avoid dairy. And you can do exercises, like squats or taekwondo leg kicks. What that's going to do is that's going to exercise the muscles around your prostate, massage it, and detoxify it and squeeze it out.

Also make sure you drink plenty of water. My sisters and I are losing our hair. We have been stressed a lot over the years from bad hairdressers.

Is there a way to get our hair back? We are all in our 60s and one is 70. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Well, first and foremost, fire your hairdressers.

That's what I did. So many of you might notice from other videos that I wear my hair in braids. And so the braids literally pulled all my hair out around the edges.

And so I have said to my hair braider, we will not be doing that anymore. So the first step is fire your hairdresser. The next step is you can take Biotin.

B-I-O-T-I-N is 10,000 micrograms, which is only 10 milligrams. So don't be put off by that dose. And that is one a day.

You can eat liver, which is helpful. And you can eat some type of collagen. I would recommend probably the most widely available would be ham hocks that would be unsmoked.

Meanwhile, you do need to increase your vegetables in order to manage the ham hocks. But that would get your hair growing. But fire the hairdressers.

Reduce the amount of combing or chemicals of any kind in your hair. Obviously, the closest thing I put in my hair to a chemical would be Vaseline. So really cut back your hair care products to just about nothing.

Okay. Dear Dr. Daniels, my husband is 81 years old. He has an inguinal hernia.

He has been wearing a hernia support belt for two years. He doesn't want to get the surgery, too many risks. He had a heart attack and blood clot six years ago.

Okay. So the heart attack and blood clot tell us that his water intake is low. So increase his water intake for sure.

What can he do to heal the hernia without having surgery? Well, first of all, he's 81. So I say wear the hernia support. It's not like he's doing any heavy lifting.

What did people do a long time ago that didn't get surgeries? They wore their hernia support. So what I would say if he's not happy with his hernia support belt is to try out other models of hernia support belt. So you can just go online, Google, and Google hernia support belts.

A lot of times, the model your doctor may recommend may not be the one that's most comfortable for you. So go online, search for hernia support belts, and try out a few different models. Even if you try five or six models, it's going to be a heck of a lot cheaper than surgery and certainly easier.

And at 81, yes, you're right. The anesthesia and other risks are pretty exceptional. But what about curing this thing? I don't have enough information here.

The question is, what caused the hernia in the first place? Generally, a hernia is caused by heavy lifting, difficulty breathing. There's some cause of increased intra-abdominal pressure. And so he has to figure out what he's doing daily that causes increased intra-abdominal pressure and minimize that.

So I don't know what that might be. So it might be worth an appointment to sort that out. And you can get that at vitalitycapsules.com. All right.

Dr. Daniels, I have pain in my hamstrings. For those of you who don't know, that would be the upper back leg. When I move in bed or walk, when I tighten my neck, the pain goes away.

So neck exercises help. I'm on magnesium capsules, which do help and also have a high vitamin D level. So if you have high vitamin D levels, don't take any vitamin D. I also take K2, skip that, and pig's feet and pork hocks weekly.

I would skip the pig's feet and pork hocks. Yeah, so skip the pig's feet, skip the pork hocks. Definitely don't take any vitamin D if your levels are high.

And I would use foam rollers to roll out the muscle. So the reason you have that pain is there are toxins accumulating in your muscle. And if you use a foam roller, it'll roll them out.

Increase your water intake. Make sure you're pooping three times a day. If you need help with that, Vitality Capsules at VitalityCapsules.com will certainly help.

They are the internal cleanser that is comfortable enough for everyday use. So yeah, water, foam rollers, increase your vegetables. That would take care of it.

Dr. Daniels, in your opinion, how important is it to learn common law, the natural law, or God's law? Our rights are being taken away by the powers that should not be, but most of us are unaware that we have to give consent and we do not know our rights. Okay, so to be perfectly honest with you, I am not familiar with common law, natural law, or God's law. I have not read up on any of those.

So I guess that lets you know how important I think they might be. But I'll give you an example here of something I see going on, which I think is very sad and unfortunate. And I think it can only be stopped by each individual making up their mind that it's going to end.

There's this big push for something called equality. What that means is if someone is mistreating person A, it's okay as long as you're mistreating person B, C, and D as well. And I feel like no, just because my neighbor might be getting mistreated doesn't mean I should get mistreated.

And so what you've got to do is set your standard for what you want and how you want to be treated and what you're willing to accept. Once you set that standard, then stick with it. And if you're not being treated the way you feel you should be treated, then you make up your mind that you're going to leave the situation or make some modifications or adjustments.

And it does not require common law, natural law, or God's law to make those adjustments. I'll give you an example. This is an extreme example.

But I was a doctor and I was employed at an Indian reservation. The terms of the employment were that the government had paid for me to go to school, medical school, for three years. The fourth year they did not pay for.

And I agreed to work in an underserved area for three years. Not any particular underserved area, but an underserved area. And they have a list of hundreds that one could pick from.

All right. So I picked this particular location and I was working really hard. And the job was getting, for me, to be unpleasant.

And not because of the patients, because of the administration. And so one day I expressed to the administrator that I was unhappy. And he says, well, it doesn't matter.

You have to work here. You've got to put up with whatever we do because you owe the government an obligation. I looked it up.

I said, no, I don't. I could get a gun and blow my brains out. I don't have to be here.

And then he says, oh no. Then he gave me two weeks off with pay and hoped that I would feel better soon. So I did not need common law, natural law, or God's law to handle the situation.

So what I'm saying is if you understand what level of abuse, mistreatment, or inconvenience you're willing to tolerate, and you have an understanding of what corrective action you are prepared to take, then the situation can be managed. I've often thought about looking at one or two of these things because I have friends, as you might imagine, who have studied common law, and they've studied natural law, and they've studied God's law. But the law is only relevant insofar as your ability to enforce it.

If you're going to enforce it by spending extreme time and money litigating, then I would say the common law, natural law, or God's law is pretty much irrelevant because you're not going to be able to enforce it to your benefit in this lifetime. So you need to be ready to take whatever action you feel necessary and to set some type of standard as to what type of treatment, let's keep this positive, that you would like to receive and to seek out that positive situation, whatever it is. And I don't think you should be limited by any law.

You might read the law to get some suggestions as to how free you could possibly be. Yeah, so that's what I would say. And the final question is, Hi Dr. Daniels, will the Candida Cleaner Protocol work for Margallon's parasites? Interesting.

So I did a lecture to the group of incurables, I call them incurables, in Sudbury, Ontario. And they were actually the Margallon's group. And what they found was that Vitality Capsule's extra strength worked perfectly.

And I wasn't totally in agreement with all of their dietary habits, whatever they were, but they found that the Vitality Capsule's extra strength relieved their symptoms very nicely and gave them a very pleasant life. So I would suggest that you read the Candida Cleaner Protocol, stick to it as best you can, but definitely get Vitality Capsule's extra strength. And that brings us to 30 minutes, our time is up.

Well, as always, it's been a pleasure and think happens, let it happen to you.
