Do not underestimate your happiness

(0:01) Hi, this is Dr. Daniels, and welcome to Healing with Dr. Daniels. This is the Sunday, April 25th, 2021 edition. Today’s title is Do Not Underestimate Your Happiness. Today, I’m going to give examples of enjoying your happiness today, in real-time, while it is happening. And cheerfulness, by the way, is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body. So, as always, think happens.

(0:46) But first, we've got to give you the mom update. Last time we saw mom, she had decided that the vaccine was not for her, for whatever reason. And so, I checked her this week, and she says, "I am feeling great. I am paying my bills." I said, "Mom, I mean, I didn’t want to express any skepticism, but bills are generally paid online these days, and mom is not internet-friendly." So, I didn’t want to be negative. So, I said, "Oh, wow, you’re paying your bills online." And she says, "No, I’m paying by phone." So, that’s wonderful. Mom is up and at them and paying her own bills. Going from semi-comatose bedridden to paying your own bills is yay.

(1:28) Now, also, she informs me that she is getting up and standing up by the side of her bed and able to take the two steps to her bedside commode and handle everything herself. However, her caretakers, experts, of course, have told her not to put weight on that leg with that open wound. And I said, "Mom, have they been right about anything else?" She says, "Well, no." I said, "Mom, you do exactly what you want to do because it’s working out pretty good."

(2:08) Now, if you’ll recall, wind it up, let me go back a few radio shows. Mom was comatose, sent home to die, and barely responsive and unable to turn over in bed, let alone stand up and handle her own business. So, she is doing great, and she aspires to one day be able to walk out of the room that she’s in without any assistance. Yay. So, I think she’ll be able to do it. Yes. So, that’s the update on mom.

(2:43) Vitality capsules are in production. Yay. We have located ingredients. They’re passing inspections. And so, we are in business. Generally, though, there is about a two or three-month lag from that point to when, yay, they’re ready. So, supplies are limited, and we are hoping that they last until then.

(3:05) Next, questions. At the end of every radio show, I answer questions as time permits, and questions can be emailed to jdaaniels@gmail.com. Of course, I can’t answer all the questions, but questions sent to that email address will be considered for being answered on air. Not all questions can be answered. So, of course, there are some appointments available. You can go to vitalitycapsules.com and click the links. They’re automated for payment and scheduling. I also have a Home Healers program where I teach people how to be the healer in their home. Yay.

(3:59) So, basically, twice a month, I answer any and all questions, but I also teach and instruct people on how to handle things that might come up at home and also how to interpret and understand things they might be hearing in the media or in the natural healing space. And after August 24th, podcasts only.

(4:16) Oh, wait. I almost forgot my turpentine. I can’t do that. I love, love, love my turpentine. So, somebody asked me, "Dr. Daniels, I see you take that turpentine every day. That sounds addictive to me. Oh, I don’t want to get hooked on anything. So, I don’t think I’m going to take turpentine." To that, I say, good for you. I think everybody should make whatever decision they want about their life.

(4:50) However, my turpentine is $15 for a year’s supply. If I’m going to be an addict, I don’t want to be hooked on that. But again, what happens if I don’t take my turpentine? Well, I take it about five days a week. And if I don’t take it, around day four, I start feeling like a regular person. At 64, that means I feel like a little stiffness.

(5:13) But as you know, I do splits, left front splits, right front splits, working on the center splits. And I do back bends, and I’m working on handstands. That’s a bit more than what the average 64 or even 54-year-old person might be doing. And honestly, when I was in my 30s and 40s, I took turpentine once a month, maybe once a week. But now I have bigger needs. And so, it’s easier just to take this a little bit each day to get the deeper cleansing I need to do the gymnastic acrobatic stunts that I want to do.

(6:00) So, I’d say for the average person, really, you can just adjust the dose to whatever you want. Some people take it twice a year. Some people take it whenever they want. My mother just takes it whenever things are bad, which is about every six months to a year, she’ll take it. Things get bad enough, and she’s like, "Time for turpentine."

(6:32) You want to wash it down. You don’t want to just take one swallow and let it sit here. You have to give it a few more swallows, get it all the way in the stomach. Great. That’s the turpentine and sugar. So, I take half a teaspoon of turpentine and about a teaspoon or teaspoon and a half of sugar. There you go. That’s that.

(6:54) Next, we’re going to take Shilajit. Yay, Shilajit. This is also known as Mumio. And if you read the label carefully, you’ll see it’s not even written in English. You can imagine the difficulty I had trying to buy it. It’s not even written in English. But if you look up Mumio, M-U-M-Y-O, Mumio from the Russian Federation, that would be Siberia, then you will find this stuff. And very distinctive, it is black, and it’s like tar. Because it’s so warm here, it comes out just like that.

(7:34) The dose is 200 milligrams a day. I just eyeball it. For those of you who like things more precise, about a quarter of a quarter teaspoon. Let’s see. Yep, there you go. I’m ready to put that in the water. And as you can see, it does not readily dissolve. It is still on the stick. So, we’re going to let it sit here. And I’ll drink it either at the end of the show or after the show.

(8:09) Today’s topic is a doozy. So, do not underestimate your happiness. This is critical, critical, critical, I think, to just having a much higher quality life and really up-leveling your life. And a little saying, "Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body."

(8:32) So, what prompted me to even consider today’s topic? Well, people from my past, like 40 years ago, are contacting me for various reasons. And I’m realizing, wow, those were good times. Those were great times. And then I came across this song, "I Had the Time of My Life." It’s true. And I owe it all to you. So, it’s a theme song of a very famous movie. But I had the time of my life. And as I was thinking about this, I had the time of my life. God, did I really? Of course, I did. But you know what? Right now, I’m having the time of my life.

(9:08) And that realization prompted me to do today’s show. Because I think this is something people just are overlooking, which is just the extreme happiness that they are experiencing. So, while I discourage comparing oneself to others, I think it’s worth comparing the present to the past. Realizing what is different from today and yesterday, and recognizing the happiness. And then fast forward today, take a look at what is contributing to your happiness and appreciate it today, today. Realize that it is the time of your life, and you owe it to all the people around you, and of course to your efforts as well. But just realize that happiness, experience it, and appreciate it.

(10:07) So, what happened? Let’s start with mom. Mom’s an excellent example. I learned so much from mom. Mom is 89 years old. That helps to know that. And she now tells me she really loved my father. Now, as a child, all I remember is her talking about how she would leave him, but she had so many children. And his presence was helpful. And then she would say how she consulted a lawyer, and the divorce was just too much. And so, this would come up about every two years. And so, kind of as a kid, I was thinking, well, when mom and dad get divorced, who am I going to live with? How am I going to work this out? And so, how much more happiness could have been had if she had expressed that positive feeling of loving him while he was alive? It was the time of her life, and she missed it.

(11:20) I have a high school classmate who contacted me to say she’s bedridden. All those years we were going through high school focused on hair, on skin blemishes, who could run the fastest, and overlooked the extreme happiness of being able to run at all. And it was the time of our lives.

(11:42) I was contacted by a person that I’d lived with the last six months of my time at Harvard. We were a happy couple, but on graduation, he went to England, and I went on to medical school. We easily parted ways with a simple kiss and no contact for 43 years. Now, we realize it was the time of our lives. We had that time, those six months together, not a single argument, nothing but good times. We had no stress. I had worked during the summers and earned tons of money, so I had my place to stay, food, everything taken care of. He had a situation where all of his needs were met, and so we never even had a discussion about a bill or who was going to pay it, or "I did this, why didn’t you do that?" Because all of the things for us to have and be together were just provided for. And it was the time of our lives.

(12:44) And for most people, that is something that doesn’t happen very often in life, where everything you need is simply there, and all you have to do is just be in love. So appreciate your happiness today, and the memories will be so much richer when you remember them in the future.

(13:07) Let’s talk about something a little more recent, like raising children. So, I had three kids. I have to say, I really did enjoy raising them while I was raising them. I even enjoyed having them. They were happy, they were healthy, well-fed. We had the time of my life. And then there’s my marriage. Wonderful. Nothing but kindness from both of us, peacefulness, helpfulness. And I was so focused on what he did do that was such a boost to my happiness. There were days I was so happy, I just didn’t even know what to do with it all.

(13:48) So experiencing your happiness in real-time today, while it’s happening, makes today so much more wonderful. And then when you look back on today, it makes the memories amazing.

(14:05) So what’s happening today? Well, of course, I’m having the time of my life. Every morning I get up, and I go walking with the vicious street dogs. These are dogs that used to chase me, nip at my heels. And they’re pretty big dogs with pretty big jaws. And I was absolutely terrified. But now, it is not just a morning walk. Oh, no, no, no. I am appreciated that I’m pain-free, that all of my joints are moving beautifully. I’m enjoying the easy movement of my joints, breathing deeply, enjoying the fresh air, looking at the leaves and the trees, and how their sharp focus, the clouds and the shadows they cast, the rising sun, and enjoying the bright colors. Realizing that this is amazing and that there’s going to come a time when maybe my vision won’t be so clear. But right now, it is sharp, it’s bright, it’s amazing.

(15:14) And then the happiness of knowing that my dogs will educate those two mean dogs up ahead. And I can enjoy walking safely with confidence and calm. I have boldly expanded my walk to 10 blocks. Yes, it is no longer a morning walk. It is a victory lap. My neighbors are now greeting me with big smiles and saying, "Hello, neighbor," in Spanish, but every bit of sweet: "Hola, vecina." I belong.

(15:45) And each of these observations increases my happiness and my awareness that this is the time of my life. Now, I’m not going to stop there. Since I realize it’s the time of my life, woohoo, there are more possibilities. We can, you know, kick it up a notch. I’m planning to now do my stretches as I walk. Then I may even buy one of those trophies and carry it around the block with me as I wave to my neighbors. I mean, I can turn this into an even bigger production and just totally magnify and expand the happiness.

(16:27) So what’s this got to do with your life? This is also the time of your life. Take the time to reflect on your happiness and the things that make it possible and the people that make it possible. Experience the happiness in each of those things. It’s like mom is looking forward to using the bathroom herself and walking out of the room. Most of you can do that now. Enjoy it. Be thankful for it. Realize the difference it makes. I mean, like I said, dad’s been dead 34 years. How much nicer mom’s life would have been if she realized while he was alive that she loved him. How much better the memories would be. So do this for yourself. Don’t overlook your happiness. Recognize it. Magnify it. Appreciate it.

(17:19) And remember, cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the body as the mind. So don’t underestimate your happiness. Grasp it. Appreciate it. Magnify it. And enjoy it today here while you have it. So go for it and have fun.

(17:45) Okay, I have to say I am just having a great time. It really is the time of my life circling around the block. Oh, a little more about my dogs. I don’t have to feed them. I don’t have to buy a leash for them. I don’t have to clean up after them. I don’t have to take them to the vet. I don’t have to buy them a dog bed. They’ve even dug little holes, little scooped out rest areas in front of my gate where they rest. And I don’t even have to walk them. If I want to walk at this time or that time during the day, it doesn’t matter. They show up, and they’re ready to go.

(18:34) There’s so much to appreciate. And also, when you allow the people, the animals, the things in your life to be the way they are, then your maintenance of your happiness drops tremendously. And it becomes effortless, actually. And the happiness multiplies.

(18:49) So that brings us to questions. Where are the questions? Oh, there they are. So this person says, "Hi, Dr. Daniels. I am your follower on Vimeo. Me and my wife, I was talking to a guy here, are taking the turpentine and shilajit religiously. And I would like to ask you if someone with no letter can take turpentine as well." The answer is yes. "And is there something that works for acne?" So acne has two problems. One is an input problem, a toxin problem, and that would be dietary. So getting rid of processed food and dairy would get rid of that end of it. Then there’s the other piece, which is a lack of connective tissue, and eating pig ears or cow feet will take care of that piece. As you can see, I have this skin here, 64-year-old skin, nice, smooth. Yes. You can bet your baby I eat my pig ears and my cow feet. "I thank God every day that I found you and your videos. God bless you, Dominic." Well, you’re welcome, Dominic.

(20:11) This person says, "I recently started detoxing in preparation for a turpentine cleanse." Not quite sure what that means, but let’s see. "As stated in the Candida report." Okay. So we can guess this person may have changed their diet and started pooping three times a day. Let’s just say. "Before this and now, I still have also been using bentonite clay." For what? That would be helpful to know. "I’m wondering if this is okay to use while in preparation for the turpentine, or should I stop using it?" Here’s the next relevant piece of information. "I’m currently having three bowel movements a day." So if you are having three bowel movements a day with your bentonite clay, then not a problem. "I am still waiting for my water distiller and have not been using castor oil." So castor oil is not necessary for using turpentine. However, I would highly, highly, highly recommend distilled water.

(21:35) Next question: "Is it safe and beneficial for someone to put castor oil in their eyes after they’ve already had cataract surgery done? Just want to make sure before I do this for my grandma. Thank you for your time." Putting castor oil in the eye is absolutely totally safe. It is totally safe. The question is, is it worth the time and the mess? I have found that it depends on what you’re trying to do. So if you have simple floaters, then maybe castor oil would help. But again, I found it too messy, but it’s certainly safe for your grandmother. I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish, but it’s definitely safe.

(22:29) Greetings, Dr. Daniels. I am a type two diabetic for the past seven years. This is for my nurse, those of you listening, and I am now experiencing severe erectile dysfunction. All right, we can stop right there. So if the person has type two diabetes for seven years, that would certainly lead to erectile dysfunction. However, the best way to handle erectile dysfunction if you have diabetes is to get rid of your diabetes, which is very simply done. Simply go to vitalitycouncils.com and download the free report, the Candida Cleaner, document and follow that diet, and your diabetes, type two diabetes, will be gone in approximately two weeks. Super simple.

(23:19) "I have tried the oral medications as well as injecting my penis directly. They work for a while." Okay, again, clean up the diabetes. That’s your number one thing. So you have a couple of problems here. The first one is your diet, of course. The second one is hydration, not enough water. And so the Candida Cleaner report also talks about water and how much water to drink. The male sexual organ is basically nothing but a series of tubes that need to be inflated with fluid, blood, or water to maintain the pressure. And so that’s an obvious limitation there. "I’m thinking of penile implant surgery." I remember talking to a nurse, right? So a nurse would look at a pill, a shot, and cut and paste. "I do not eat meat, just fish, occasionally. Lots of veggies. I always exercise regularly." So we can stop right there. He doesn’t eat meat, just fish, occasionally. So fish, we’re guessing this person’s in the first world. That would be like, you know, maybe he buys his fish from the store. He doesn’t catch it from the ocean. So if he buys his fish from the store, we’re just going to guess that that’s where he gets it from. He’s probably eating fish fillet. Probably he’s been skinned. Those are all reasonable assumptions, which means the cholesterol content is just about nil, which means this guy has also got low testosterone. He has not got enough testosterone in the system to get the job done. How do I know that? Because he hasn’t got any cholesterol in his diet. Cholesterol is a precursor of testosterone. So all you guys who want to get your equipment in order, you need to bump up your cholesterol intake so you can get some testosterone. "I am presently taking a supplement. It has helped my diabetes tremendously, but I want to get off of it." All right. Again, go to vitalitycouncils.com and download the free report, the Candida Clitor. "I have been using your vitality pills and have turpentine, but I’m not able to find the black stuff here in North Carolina." It probably won’t be in North Carolina, quite frankly. I have never seen it in the stores myself during the decades that I lived in the United States. So you would have to get it online. I’d recommend eBay, the Russian Federation. All right. I think we handled everything here. Yeah. So get rid of diabetes and add some cholesterol to your diet. I’d recommend liver. It’s the simplest thing, either chicken liver or beef liver. I want beef or calf liver or pork liver. So calf liver is the best. Second best is pork liver. And the third best is chicken liver. But they’re all good. They all have a fair amount of cholesterol.

(26:39) Hi, Dr. Daniels. I have a cyst in my vagina, which the doctor could not see or feel when I visited her. Okay. This is a cyst in the vagina. Yeah. Okay. It’s important to know. We’re in the vagina, so we have to figure out the geography here, is where we’re at. The doctor was not very interested in my problem, so Googled what I described to her, and it came up with Bartholin cyst. So the Bartholin cyst is not in the vagina. The Bartholin cyst is on the labia, which is the lips of the vagina. So we have a little bit of confusion here. Now, let’s just say it is a Bartholin cyst. The doctor would not be interested in this because according to the standard of care, she is not authorized to give a drug or intervention or treatment for a Bartholin cyst. So she’s looking for something to treat. And if she does not find anything to treat, then the standard of care is that she tells you there’s nothing wrong. But there’s not any direction to the doctor to explain to you what is going on or give you any understanding of your situation.

(28:03) So the thing to understand about a Bartholin cyst is it’s totally harmless and to be ignored. It’s about the size of a golf ball. That’s pretty darn large. Okay. So if you have a Bartholin cyst the size of a golf ball, then you’re definitely, there’s something wrong. I mean, when I say something wrong, I don’t mean medically anything wrong, but I mean you have some habits that are making this thing grow. So there’s a lifestyle issue plus or minus a dietary issue. Let’s see what it might be. It is very soft to the touch. So I’m guessing that it’s not painful. And Bartholin cysts, sometimes they’re painful, sometimes they’re not. It varies. Occasionally I get a tiny bit of discharge in my knickers, but it is not sore. It doesn’t bother me. So her Bartholin cyst does not hurt and doesn’t bother her. So this is definitely a case of don’t treble, treble, till trouble troubles you. Sometimes I sit in the toilet, and I have to push for a poo. I look down at my vagina entrance, and the cyst pokes out. And I have tried to make it come out, but it won’t come.

(29:10) If you have any suggestions, please. This is a very confusing description of whatever, but we do know, we can tell from the description that this, whatever it is, is harmless. And if she can ignore it, that would be fine. Now she’s had to push for a poo, which means she’s kind of constipated, which explains totally the origin of the cyst. Basically, the stuff that she’s trying to poo and push out, because it requires even that pressure to poo, a portion of that poo, the body is just saving in the cyst. And so what she needs to do is increase her poo to three times a day. I recommend vitality capsules. Go to vitalitycapsules.com. This definitely looks like a case for extra strength. And get her poops to three or four a day. And what’s going to happen is one, she’s going to stop straining when she poos, which is going to take the pressure away from this cyst so it doesn’t grow. And then that cyst is going to actually go away.

(30:03) Now, the cyst has an opening and can discharge its contents either to her vagina or to the skin on the lips of her vagina. So she should not block that at all. What does that mean? That means do not wear tight underwear or any underwear at all. If you can manage it, no underwear, no pants. Or, and that way there would be no pressure on that area at all. So no underwear, no pants. Or, you can wear very loose pants that give a lot of air to breathe. And that way the cyst can drain through you having more bowel movements or through the skin. But you don’t have blockage of the skin exit that’s going to encourage the growth of this situation. So I hope that that answers that question.

(31:15) Alrighty, well, that brings us to the end of today’s show. Remember, do not underestimate your happiness. If you’re even able to listen to this show, you’ve got a lot of happiness. Don’t overlook it. And as always, think happens. And we will see you next week.
