How do you know if it is real

Hi, this is Dr. Daniels, and welcome to Healing with Dr. Daniels. This is the July 4th, 2021, Sunday edition. Yay! Happy 4th of July Independence Day to those of you who are sitting on U.S. soil.

Okie doke. Today's topic is "How Do You Know if It Is Real?" Today, I'm going to share simple tips to help sort out complicated situations. This also applies to your health too, by the way. And as always, think happiness.

But first, update on mom. Oh my goodness. Well, mom is full of piss and vinegar—lots of energy, giving orders, just a regular energetic tyrant. So mom is back to full force and doing well. And she was, as you recall, sent home to die a few weeks ago. So she's doing really well. My daughter went to visit her and brought back this update that she's just really doing great. Her ambulatory aspirations have decreased, but we hope she'll get back to giving that a go pretty soon here.

All right, Vitality Capsules. Yay! Vitality Capsules are in production. We have all the ingredients. They have arrived. Wonderful. So we're very excited about that. Once production starts, it is about a five-week process. So we're expecting the next batch to be available then. Our present stock, we hope, will last till then. We are limiting the quantities per order to three bottles to stretch things out.

Okay, and questions. Yes, I do answer questions on the radio show—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. If you have questions and you'd like them to be considered for being answered on the show, they might be answered; they might not be. There is no guarantee. However, the email address for questions is jdaaniels@gmail.com. Sometimes questions are not answered, but I use them as inspiration for a future show.

So there you go. My progress. I love, I've just got to start showing my progress because it is just so amazing. I don't have video technology or whatever to show you. However, handstands and cartwheels are coming along. I never thought that I would be doing cartwheels at my age, 64, but they are actually coming along. My instructor says he has great confidence in me. I'm very flexible, and he thinks I'm strong enough, and by golly, I can do it. And it's really happening. I'm able to, from a stand, jump forward onto the ground into a forward roll, roll over, and spring up on my feet. Yeah. I never thought I would be able to do that either. When I was in gymnastics class, I saw the other kids—they're like 15 and under; it goes all the way down to age six—doing that, and I said, "Yeah, I'll never do that. Maybe I could do a little half roll," but my instructor was very encouraging, and so I'm making progress. So I hope that is an inspiration and encouragement to listeners out there who may be as young as 40 and maybe you've given up. You can do it. It's never too late.

Okay, that brings us to turpentine time. We must take our turpentine. Oh my God, it is so beneficial. Now that I've become more active and doing things like bodyweight exercises, cartwheels, handstands, forward rolls, my body's taking much more of a punishment. So taking turpentine every day is really helpful in just having no pain. If you ask any gymnast, they will tell you they hurt most of the time. So I only hurt for about two hours the day, you know, after a really rough workout where I do a lot of heavy lifting and backward bends and rolls and stuff. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to do gymnastics at my age and not be inconvenienced. So that's very exciting.

All righty. What do we got here? We have a spoon. I know it sounds silly, but it's important. It's a teaspoon. This is the United States teaspoon capacity—five mil or five grams. Okay, that's the size of the spoon. Next, we have sugar. Yes, this is white sugar. If you want to get organic, fine, get organic, but it has to be white. It should be cane sugar and not beet sugar because beet sugar is genetically modified. So we just want sugar—just plain sugar. Then we got turpentine. Yay, turpentine. Yeah, it doesn't have all the letters on it, but close enough. So anyone picking it up will realize that this is not a beverage.

All right, and this is my dropper. These are called disposable plastic pipettes. And I reuse them, quite frankly, because they seem to be holding up fine. But right here up at the neck is two and a half CCs, and that's what I take—a half teaspoon. So I'm going to squirt in the bottle. Bam. And here we go, squirt it with the turpentine. This makes me feel so good that I no longer even have hesitancy about taking it. That went down pretty easy. Okay. So remember, drink enough water to get it all the way down. I can feel it going down. It's about down to here. I want it to go just by two inches more. More water. That's it. It is all the way down in my tummy, and my tummy is happy.

All right, so now we're going to take our She-Legit. She-Legit. Can you read that? No, you can't. I can't either. Now, this is also called Mumyo, M-U-M-Y-O. And this is written, you can see, not in English. No, written in Russian. So you want Russian She-Legit. You open this up—let me see if I can open it towards the camera. Man, yeah, black and gooey. All right, let's take a little chopstick here and pull some out. As you can see, it's pretty darn gooey. Now we only need 200 milligrams. That's a little more than 200 milligrams. So we're going to scrape that off. There we go. And we're going to take this, put it in the remaining water. As you can see, it does not readily dissolve. It is stuck. So we let it sit there, let that dissolve.

So what is She-Legit? She-Legit is a very powerful broad-spectrum trace mineral material. They scoop it out of the ground, slump it in that bucket there, and that's it. That's all the processing it gets. And it's a very broad spectrum of trace minerals. This is important because your body manufactures enzymes, and the enzymes need trace minerals to maintain their tertiary or quaternary structure, which means a three-dimensional structure. So you have a protein, which is like this. When the right minerals come along, it gets together. It has a three-dimensional structure, and now it can really function. So if you ever feel like you're kind of going through your day and your body's not quite doing stuff the way it used to, She-Legit's your man.

How come you can't get these trace minerals from your food? Because people are no longer fertilizing their crops with their own personal human excrement or feces. So if you eat food, it goes through you, and then you take that poop and fertilize your plants with it, and the plants will have all the minerals that you lost, and they will give it back to you when you eat the plant. Because that's not the way we get our food supply in these modern times, the minerals we get back from the plants are not as broad-spectrum as the minerals that we lose. And so over time, the minerals in the human body get depleted, and it causes premature aging. So by taking She-Legit, you remedy that situation. And as you can see, at 64, I'm hanging in there and not looking too old. So get some She-Legit. I recommend going to eBay and getting it from the Russian Federation. It's very inexpensive. A year's worth, a year and a half supply, which is 100 grams, costs the same as one month's supply of your regular colloidal mineral or other trace mineral supplement, and the She-Legit is far superior. So go ahead and do that.

Back to our topic here. How do you know if it's real? It's like, well, how do you know? A listener once asked, "Dr. Daniels, how do you know what to believe?" I didn't know how to answer that question, but I've been thinking a lot about that—how to articulate that concept. The whole idea of belief is just a choice, an arbitrary choice. You can decide what you want to believe. That's just totally up to you. But what I would say is try to get the "belief" word out of your vocabulary if you're trying to get at truth. Truth is truth, independent of your belief. So what you really want to try and reach is the truth—what is true and what is real. Your beliefs are something else. Belief is something that you accept as true without evidence. I would not recommend believing anyone or anything. If you want to have belief, then pick a religion and believe in it. That, I think, is the best way to go about beliefs. Try to minimize how many you have, and maybe stick with something that's been around a few hundred years.

But what we're talking about is how to just get through your day-to-day life and figure out just what's real and what's fake. So I'm a bit older—64. I've been through a few things, ups and downs, and things and people come and go. So what is real? In these times, it's an important question to answer. We're in the midst of a global crisis. I leave that kind of vague because no matter when you're alive, you're on earth, there always seems to be a global crisis going on. So how do you handle that? Well, the first thing to understand is there's something out there called the universe, and you are part of the universe. What makes the universe work or makes things happen is a transfer of energy. Everything you see around you is energy in motion. Some things, like the paint on the wall, move slower than other things. But give it 10 years, that paint will peel and fall off the wall. There's energy in motion going on.

An example that I like comes from the Sound of Music musical. A lot of you might not be old enough, but that's worth—it's a musical worth seeing. Some really nice songs, but one is "I Have Confidence in Sunshine." I Have Confidence in Sunshine. Now, the thing she says is, "I have confidence in sunshine, I have confidence in rain, and I have confidence that spring will come again." These are important things, and I think those are reasonable things to have confidence in. So you have sunshine, you have rain, and you have spring coming again. I think that really sums it up.

So Dr. Daniels, what do you mean, Dr. Daniels? That's pretty mystical. Nope, I'm going to make it real for you. I'm going to make it real for you. Really super simple. Try not out there. Okay, so is it true? The sun always rises, the rain continues to fall, and the spring always comes. These are things you can just—that's what you can believe in. So we'll just take that as a belief. Done. Now, what those things are—all of them are transfers of energy. Anything substantial that is happening in the world that's real is going to do something. It's going to either stop the sun from shining, it's going to block the sun, it'll stop the rain from falling, or it'll soak up the rain, or it will cause plants to grow or cause plants to die. That's what's real. So if something is real, it's going to affect one or all of these things.

So look around you. Are the dogs still barking? Is the food you eat still nourishing? Are plants continuing to grow? Is the rain continuing to fall? Are there earthquakes continuing to happen? Are babies and animals and insects continuing to be born? These are important things to ask yourself. If the thing that you're contemplating is not consuming any energy around you, then it's not real. So if it's not blocking the sun, if it's not soaking up the rain, if it's not making the crops grow or making them die, then it's an idea. Now, you can choose to give your energy to the idea, but at that point in time, it is not real. When people attempt to give form to an idea, that idea can become real, the way an entrepreneur might build a business or the way an inventor might create a light bulb. So just because something's not real doesn't mean you shouldn't pay attention to it, but it does mean that you can decide to pay attention to it or not. It does mean that you can decide to give it physical form or not. So if it doesn't block the sun, soak up water, or give life to other materials, it is not real.

I'll give you an example. When I was a kid, I went to school. My parents sent me to public school, as a matter of fact. My father said, "Don't worry about school. If it was important, they wouldn't be teaching it to you. So don't pay too much attention to that. But just go to school and be nice to the—yeah, that's it." I said, "Okay, I can do that." The teacher taught this stuff, whatever it was she was teaching, was so convincing. I said, "Wow, that's really interesting." But I noticed, I returned home to food, heat, and shelter in a safe place to stay, no matter what the teacher was teaching. And I realized that what happened in school simply didn't matter. What she was teaching did not in any way improve or detract from my quality of life. It was just irrelevant. So I realized that this whole thing of the teacher teaching and me listening and writing this down and writing that down, it's like learning dance moves. Yeah, you can learn dance moves, that's fine. But it is not real. A dance move is only real when you decide to dance to it. That's it. The utility of that dance move going forward is, again, determined by you, not the intrinsic property of the dance move. So I realized then that everything in school was simply not real. Now, did that keep me from getting A's? Nah, because I was there, what the heck. The material was simple enough, no problem. Might as well just fill in the stuff on the paper, not a problem.

Another thing, if you want to know something real, is it true all the time? Things in nature, the rules of nature endure. If something is true at 9 a.m. but not at noon, happens here but not there, and then here again, it's constantly changing, then again, it's not real. It's not something you can count on. So look around you. I would even go so far as to say, look out the window. If you don't have a window, go get a window. Go get a window. Look out the window and see. Check the sunshine, check the rain, check the seasons. Has what you're worried about changed any of those things? If it hasn't, it's not real. You can make it real the same way an entrepreneur creates a business. You can make it real the same way an inventor creates a light bulb—by pouring energy into it, attempting to give it form. But the actual thing is merely an idea.

I'll give you a concrete example, certainly in my life actually, of just sitting here talking to you. I'm 64 years old, and I went to medical school. I was trained in medical school that my body would start falling apart around age 30, and it was like, bam, downhill from there. They explained to me how it would happen—that I would wake up in the morning with a little stiffness, a little achiness, and the achiness would last maybe, I don't know, a few seconds, and then minutes, and then half an hour, and then hours. This is just the way they had the whole progression—they laid it out, explained. Then once I got older, 50, 60-ish, I would start losing my eyesight and my hearing, and you know, this whole trajectory, just laid it out. Sure enough, I was about 32, and I noticed a little stiffness, a little achiness when I got up in the morning. It was lasting, I don't know, about five minutes, which is a lot—to wake up and you're achy, and you gotta wait five minutes to kind of loosen up and get out of bed. I happened to have a mentally retarded sister, thank God, who read her junk mail. Why not? She said, "Hey, I think you might be interested in this." She gave me a piece of junk mail. I took a look at junk mail. I said, "Why not? Go ahead and buy it." It was basically a supplement. I bought it. Bam. Aches and pains gone. I didn't have any more stiffness at all for 30, 40, 50—oh yeah, that's 30 years. So I realized right then and there that that thing I had been taught in medical school was not real. Hence, you could say it wasn't true. But with my energy, I could make the decision to take that idea, which was not real, and give it my energy, bring it into my body, and make it real.

Fast forward to, I don't know, four years ago. I was 60 years old. My husband just died. When he died, I realized, "Oh my God, I am pretty darn weak." And what happened? The seven years we were married, I gained 50 pounds. I was like, "Oh no." And so I said, "Okay, fine. I'm 60 years old. I'm going to start buying those muumuu dresses, you know, that look like a tent being held up by your shoulders." And I said, "That's it. I'm 60. I mean, what does anybody expect? I'm entitled." And I would waddle around, my feet like, you know, one or two feet apart, you know, trying to be stable so I don't fall. Then I said, "You know what? This is not fun. I think I need to lose some weight and get stronger and walk better." So I got somebody to walk with me—a younger person who could pick me up off the ground if I fell. At first, I could only walk, I don't know, 12 steps. Then over time, I was able to walk half an hour. Finally, I was able to walk three hours. I said, "Well, that's nice, but I still didn't feel confident walking alone." I needed more strength and more agility. I said, "You know what? Why don't I just learn how to do a backward bend bridge? Yeah, yeah, I'll do that." So I started working on that. Again, I had someone else—not the same person, a different person—helping me with that. Bam, it took a while, took three months, but I was able to do the backward bridge. I said, "I can do a backward bridge. So why not just do a split? Yeah, do splits. I've always wanted to do a split. Hey, I'm 60 years old. If I don't do it now, when am I going to do it? Can I do it now? Now?" So the same person who helped me with the backward bend also helped me with the splits. I stretched, and I stretched, and we worked, and we worked, and I stretched some more. Six weeks later, I was able to do my left front splits, then my right front splits. Now I am working on cartwheels and handstands, center splits, and just continuing. So again, those ideas about being old, about being feeble, about needing a cane—those were ideas. They were not real. I had the choice of giving them my energy, of giving them form and shape in terms of being weak, sitting in a chair, picking out maybe a wheelchair or a nice cane or something. Or I could choose not to give those ideas my energy and put my energy instead in another direction.

So the thing to understand is what you're really looking for is not something to believe. What you're trying to understand is where in your life does choice lie in terms of deployment of your energy? And where in your life are things happening that are actually real, that are really happening? The way to sort this out is by the energy flows. Don't make it complicated. What's the energy flow? It's the sun rising, the sun setting. If it blocks the sun and creates a shadow, guess what? It's real. If it soaks up the rain and makes a plant grow, it's real. If it kills the plant, it's real. So you need to look at these things, look at energy flows. Some people like to talk about money. Okay, that's an energy flow. If what's going on is lowering the money in your bank account, that's not an act of nature. It might be real, but it's something that maybe you can make adjustments or tweaks to work around. It's not something that's inevitable. But you really want to focus more on the level of energy flows.

So what about the present situation? The situation. Well, lucky for you, I live in a neighborhood, and I walk around my neighborhood. I would suggest you walk around yours too. Even if all you can do is walk around the block, that's good enough. So I walk around the block at least once a day, every day, without fail. I walk around the block. The first year I lived here, in this particular location, there was no pandemic. But there were three ambulance calls, and the ambulance showed up in the neighborhood, and one death. That's the first year. The next year was the situation, the pandemic. Guess what? There were no ambulance calls and no deaths. This is an area I walk around, which is about a hundred people. While this is no scientific study, and I suggest you not rely on scientific studies, but again, your eyes, your experiences, your observation, and your looking for energy flows—sunrise, sun setting, rainfall, plants growing, plants dying, people being born, people dying—that's what you're looking at. So during the pandemic, we had one birth, no deaths. Before the pandemic, we had three ambulance calls, one death, and no births. Now, you might say that's not a statistical difference, but that's the point. There's no evidence of a biologically active process going on that's deteriorating anybody's health. That is the point. So just by walking around my neighborhood, looking out my window, I can immediately—not immediately, but over time—figure stuff out. I don't need a microscope. I don't need a scientific specialist. It's sorted. These things you can sort out yourself, and you can use that particular process. Even with your health, you can do something. If you feel better, maybe it's a good idea to do a little more of it. If you feel worse, then hold off on that for a bit. And just that little simple approach will move you ahead so far and so quickly.

All right, so that brings us to questions. We have a few minutes here. We can do this.

Hi, Dr. Daniels. Hope you're doing well. Do you have an idea what is the best remedy for bloating? My opinion of this has evolved. So because of the phrasing of your question, I know that you want the answer that I would have given a year ago. So I'm going to give you that answer. Fennel seed—f-e-n-n-e-l-l seed—is a common household spice. You can put it in your mouth, chew it, swallow it, and it breaks up the gas. This way, you'll pass gas, and that way, bloating is gone. Very nice. Yay. The other way, so that's the simplest remedy for bloating. But what's really going on? Like, why are you bloating? There's two reasons you're bloating. One, you're eating crap your body doesn't like. Or two, you're doing what I'm doing right now—sitting. You're doing too much of it. So if you just do taekwondo kicks, your bloating will be gone. It'll move your bowels around your abdomen so vigorously that you'll find yourself, as you do these kicks, burping, passing gas, bloating gone. As I've gotten into gymnastics, I am shocked at all the air coming out this end and that end. Yes, my tummy is flat. There's no room for bloating. A lot of things are just our lifestyle that we just don't even realize it. And I would not have realized that if I hadn't embarked down this road and just kept going.

Hi, Dr. Daniels. I'm a big fan. I've been following you for years. I just realized that you recommend flax seeds brown. Do they have to be brown? No, they can be brown or yellow. Back when this report was written 11 years ago, the gold flax seeds were three to four times the price of the brown flax seeds. Their marketing plan was just like over the top. So really, either one will do. I personally feel brown is more nutritious. But for what you're trying to accomplish in the candida situation, they're interchangeable.

Hi, Dr. Daniels. I have another question. If the sugar gets all wet, is it okay to add some sugar on top of it? Yes, that's fine. As long as you have some sugar going down the hatch that is not soaked with turpentine, then you're good to go.

Dr. Daniels, what do you think about dietitians and nutritionists—people who go to school and claim to help people with their health? Thank you. Now, obviously, you have some skepticism here because you use the word "claim" to help people with their health. So I think anyone who is basing their therapy on what was taught in formal education is not a person to rely on for health. That's pretty much that. And even worse, if someone has a medical license, a nutritional license, if someone has a license and they work for the government, no matter what you pay them. And so you need to understand that if the person is licensed, you are talking to a government agent. And the information they're giving you is only what the government wants you to know and nothing more. So I think that answers that question about what I think. I mean, I think you can do what you want. If you want to go pay a dietitian and see a dietitian, that's fine. Or a nutritionist, that's fine. But realize what you're getting.

Dr. Daniels, I love watching your podcast. My question is, can consuming too many lemons cause thin skin or be too acidic for my stomach? Absolutamente. This is why I do not recommend people eat lemons. No, no. Can you understand that? No, I don't recommend lemons. If you want to eat lemons, you can. But I put that right up there with ice cream, white sugar, bread, whatever. It's something you eat because you like eating it, and that's fine. But I don't think a lemon a day has any place in a healthy diet. I would definitely get rid of the lemons.

Okay, I think we're up. That's it. We're at time. All right. We'll see you next week. And as always, think happens.
