Hey, you wonderful and amazing listeners to The Armor Men's Health Show! Thanks for tuning in again and sharing this with your friends! This round, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee spend time again with one of their favorite guests, Dr. Declan Fleming! They all start off in segment one discussing how cancer diagnoses are changing and how doctors really do NOT want patients to become sicker and sicker which is contrary to some people's beliefs. Between 1930 and 2006, the cancer rates increased annually but at around 2006, they started to flatten out. Since then, most of the cancer rates have been going down except for five of them - thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, stomach cancer, liver cancer and skin cancer. One of those is due to an unintended consequence from using over-the-counter medicines for GERD! Be careful when taking these medications for more than six weeks: Prilosec, Pepcid, Tagamet, Protonix, Nexium. If you need these medications for more than several weeks, please see a physician because they can be dangerous which could lead to the esophageal issues and even cancer. Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming also talk about fatty liver disease and the inherent dangers with the substances of the liver. In a nutshell, fat causes inflammation which is the enemy to the body so let's get rid of it! In the second segment, Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming discuss something new in medicine called a "liquid biopsy" which Dr. Fleming explains in great detail about finding cancer and how to treat it better and better with the newest technology. Fascinating! Dr. Mistry and Dr. Fleming also refer to possible medical "dumpster fires" (yes, that's a medical phrase) and how Dr. Fleming is the appropriate surgeon to fix a lot of them over other types of surgeons. The doctors also talk about the different types of cancers and why more aggressive treatments are needed for some but not necessarily others. Dr. Fleming is a faculty member at UT Dell Medical School and is an Associate Professor there as well.

*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.A recently released KFC commercial features a lost man in the woods who comes across what appears to be a nude tribe that have the ability to levitate. They surround the man and take him to a large pond, in the presence of a golden egg, and proceed to dunk his head and turn him into fried chicken in preparation for eating. The commercial clearly has elements of the Black Mass, un-baptism, and cannibalism. It is eerie, furthermore, because of a 2015 report from Clear Food that found 2% of some foods tested positive for human DNA, with exception of Kosher products only. Others may remember the the probably fictional, but nonetheless creepy, interview with a Rabbi Abraham Finkelstein who claimed a Jewish cult steals “100-300 thousand children” a year, mixes their blood with passover wine, and then dump the bodies into low quality food. It surely isn't coincidental that perhaps upwards of 300,000 children have gone missing in the US recently, or that the public is learning about how many horrible things are already in junk food, nor the fact that in one of the most authoritative and credible history books ever written, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Gibbon describes the Jewish community as engaging in blood sacrifices and holding all other people as inferior to their cult, and therefore worthy of death and slavery. Such bloody and innocent sacrifices are certainly a part of all human history, however. The Epstein story, involving multiple intelligence agencies, is a modern version of this ritualism as is the Finders Cult, Franklin Coverup, Weinstein Cult, Nexium, etc. It must not be a surprise then that Epstein is Jewish and that his major financier and participant was a Jewish billionaire named Leslie Wexner, who claimed in the 1980s to be driven by something unholy. In a New York Magazine interview, Wexner claims he was possessed since childhood by DYBBUK, a Jewish spiritual force said to be the soul of the dead which seeks a new host to complete unfinished business. In the article, Dybbuk is credited with Wexner's obsession with money, cars, houses, women, and destroying competition. This vast wealth was funneled into the Wexner Foundation in 1983, which has since then, according to Influence Watch linking the Wexner Foundation website, pushed LGBT, environmentalism, and systematic racism, while working to push Jews into positions of authority. It's no surprise that the Jewish demon Lilith is a temptress and aborter of children, a spirit of pornography, promiscuity, and perversity - Tel Aviv is the LGBTQ capital of the world, Israel is the gayest country on earth, also with special protections for a vast number of pedophiles, and was once responsible before its founding for the corruption of morals in Weimar Germany via the Institute of Sexual Science. Israel, by extension, is the founder and/or leader in hookup culture and pornography, including OnlyFans, and the Talmud holy book even promotes transgenderism and sex changes for children, not to mention the traditions of genital mutilation and sexual introduction for babies. Those above-mentioned missing kids were facilitated in their condition by the Jewish HIAS group and the Jewish DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
Drug interactions can cause more complex side effects than the side effects of a single drug, and can even contribute to dementia. Join me as I interview Hal Cranmer, owner of several assisted living homes, and Dr. Roshani Sanghani, board-certified endocrinologist, to discuss the side effects of multiple medications. Assisted Living Home: https://aparadiseforparents.com/Epocrates:https://www.epocrates.com/Taking the following drugs for an extended period of time may potentially increase your risk for dementia. 1. Drugs that block acetylcholineThis includes Benadryl, certain drugs for depression, and drugs that treat overactive bladder. 2. BenzodiazepineDrugs such as Valium and Xanax treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures, affecting the central nervous system and brain.3. PPIsProton pump inhibitors, such as Prilosec and Nexium, that treat indigestion and heartburn may increase the risk of cognitive decline.4. Opioids Morphine, oxycodone, and other opioids that sedate the brain significantly affect cognitive function and may lead to dementia. Hal Cranmer owns several assisted living homes and sees first-hand the consequences of giving someone several drugs at once. Many residents in assisted living homes are on 20 to 30 medications. In Hal's facilities, he focuses on providing his residents with a healthy diet and eliminating sugar and ultra-processed foods. Many of Hal's residents have been able to get off their medication. Multiple medications often involve multiple doctors with multiple viewpoints. Each doctor focuses only on specific parts and functions of the body rather than the body as a whole. Adverse drug reactions are unexpected side effects directly caused by drugs. Around 90% are underreported. Adverse drug reactions are responsible for 10% of all hospital visits and are the 4th leading cause of death. Dr. Roshani Sanghani, a board-certified endocrinologist, uses epocrates.com to help keep track of drug interactions. She points out the problem of specialists focusing on and prescribing treatment for one body part and not considering the patients' other medications. The biggest contributor to chronic disease is diet. Medications are often prescribed to treat the symptoms caused by consuming ultra-processed foods. A healthy diet can turn this cycle around.

Anthony "Nippy" Ames, a former college athlete and aspiring actor, became involved with NXIVM, an organization that presented itself as a self-improvement group. Over 12 years, he advanced within NXIVM, becoming a teacher and establishing centers in New York and Vancouver. He met his wife, Sarah Edmondson, through the organization. Upon discovering NXIVM's illicit activities, Ames took decisive action to expose the group's misconduct. He played a pivotal role in dismantling NXIVM, contributing to the arrest and conviction of its leader, Keith Raniere, who received a 120-year prison sentence. Ames and Edmondson co-host the podcast "A Little Bit Culty," where they discuss their experiences and engage with fellow survivors and experts. #NXIVMCult #InsideACult #KeithRaniere #CultSurvivor #TrueCrime #MindControl #EscapingACult #JusticeServed Thank you to ROCKET MONEY for sponsoring today's episode!: Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

BEST OF: The CIA's Operation Midnight Climax involved drugs and sex as part of a blackmail sting Operation in the 1950s. More than fifty years later we witnessed the downfall of Jefferey Epstein and his blackmail operation, which was sponsored by the same intelligence agencies at home and abroad. Now we are learning about a drug smuggling, sex trafficking, blackmail operation that was run by Sean ‘Diddy' Combs, which also involved rape and possibly even more sinister things involving young artists. Combs reportedly promised his associates connections not just to the ‘good life', but to royal family members like Prince Harry. This reminds us of Prince Andrew's relationship with Epstein and the entire ‘royal' family's relationship, especially King Charles, with the rapist-pervert Jimmy Savile. That Epstein pipeline also ran from Buckingham to Hollywood, too, with Harvey Weinstein, and exposed possible connections with Oprah and other major celebrities involved in trafficking women for abuse. The NXIVM cult, for example, was first thought to involve only Keith Raniere, until it was discovered how the actress Allison Mack was recruiting woman and branding them with her initials at the expensive of liquor heiress Clare Bronfman. Turns out that Ghislaine Maxwell, Allison Mack, and Sheela of the Rajneesh cult were all instrumental in the corruption and abuse, and not simple victims. The Combs story goes beyond pink cocaine, paying women for sex, and hiring college athletes to be drug mules. People like Jay Z have a close relationship with the same crowd and known satanists like Marina Abramović. His wife Beyoncé has been accused by her former drummer, Kimberly Thompson, of practicing “dark magic” and using magic for “sexual molestation.” Thompson accused the singer of killing animals and practicing “extreme witchcraft.” Then there is Mariah Carey's sister Allison, who filed charges against their mother for making “her witness people engaged in sexual acts with adults and children.” Allison alleges their mother took them to “ceremonies or rituals...between 2am and 4am” on “certain dates” of the year. She said the participants would usually wear “long robes with black hoods,” which is exactly what some of Savile's victims claimed. Then there is President Joe Biden and his forgotten daughter Ashley, who's diary documented how she was “hyper-sexualized @ a young age” and how she would do things “to my vagina due to overhearing parents having sex.” Ashley said that Joe Biden, her father, would take showers with her that were inappropriate, and that she has memories of “having sex with friends @ a young age,” something similar to Allison's mothers' ‘friends' who were allowed to have sex with her at 10 years old.

We're talking about how one of the characteristics of a cult is that they often present as a really good thing. A lot of times, they are doing really good things on the surface. If this weren't the case, people wouldn't be joining them. Additionally, not every cult starts as a cult. Sometimes it starts as on organization with really good intentions to help people. We'll discuss all of that, in this episode. https://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_edmondson_how_to_spot_a_cultSarah Edmondson is a Canadian actress who has starred in the CBS series Salvation and more than twelve films for the Hallmark Channel and Lifetime. She is also a well-established voice-over artist for popular series such as Transformers: Cybertron and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. In 2005, when NXIVM, a personal and professional development company, promised to provide the tools and insight Sarah needed to reach her potential, she was intrigued. Over her twelve-year tenure, she went from student to coach and eventually operated her own NXIVM center in Vancouver. Questions kept coming up about the organization's rules and practices, which came to a head in 2017 when she accepted an invitation from her best friend to join DOS, a “secret sisterhood” within NXIVM.In 2019, Sarah published Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult that Bound My Life, with Kristine Gasbarre. In this tell-all memoir, she shares her story from the moment she takes her first seminar to her harrowing fight to get out. Her full story as a whistleblower is featured in the CBC podcast Uncover: Escaping NXIVM (downloaded over 25 million times) and The Vow, the critically acclaimed HBO documentary series on NXIVM. Now with the launch of “A Little Bit Culty,” Sarah and her co-host/husband Anthony “Nippy” Ames are keeping the conversation going by discussing the healing process with the help of experts and fellow survivors.Uncertain is a podcast of Tears of Eden, a community and resource for those in the aftermath of Spiritual Abuse.

I'm great. How are you Katherine: doing? Okay. Do you know? Okay. It has been gloomy and St. Louis and today the first sign of sunshine and I like went outside to like be in the sun, but it was 30 degrees. And so I didn't stay there very long, but. It's beautiful today. Beautiful to see the sun.How are, how's the weather in your area? Sarah: I'm in Atlanta. We're in our very brief winter and it's, it's, it's just a couple of weeks, I think. And it really fluctuates on a day to day basis and I have no idea what's in store and I'm just getting used to that as a concept. Yeah. Katherine: I just kind of ups and downs.Yeah. Yes. I have relatives in the Atlanta area and I hear about the bipolar weather. Of yeah, very [00:02:00] similar to St. Louis fun times. Well, thank you so much for being here and your openness to telling your story here. Really excited to hear from you just about The impact of your experience in NXIVM and then your recovery process.You also have your podcast, a little bit culty that I highly recommend to everyone. It's just entertaining. It's good stuff and you learn a lot, but then it's also super entertaining. And so I hope folks will listen to that as well, but you get to interact with a lot of cult survivors through that. And so I w I'm very interested to hear.Just patterns and things that you have seen as you have been doing your podcast and working with folks in this, this area. But just to just start us, start us off for folks who may not know who you are or have not seen the vow or maybe haven't. About on HBO or the, or have listened to your podcast and you give us a little summary of who you are and why you are here. Sarah: [00:03:00] Sure. So my cliff notes slash, you know, elevator story, which I've had to use a fair bit since moving to Atlanta is that I am, you know, from Canada, born and raised, I. I pursued acting as a teenager and young adult, and I took a little tangent, a little detour when I joined a personal and professional development program, which I was taking to help me with my goals as an actor and my relationship at the time.And that was really wonderful in many ways for a long time at first. And it ended up being 12 years later, after many missed red flags, I didn't understand what I was looking at. A high control group or some, some people know this term as a cult, but I realized there's basically bad things going on behind closed doors and the personal development program that I'd been touting for many years as an advocate and as a recruiter for the company.I say company loosely was really a front [00:04:00] for our pipeline, for the leadership. To coerce and manipulate and ultimately not in all cases and not not for me, but for many people sex traffic as well So that's why it is now known as the sex cult in the in the newsletter And I newsletter sorry in the newspapers The headlines media does love a good sensational story.Sure do. Yes, as they sure do. And my role in that was that I was one of the whistleblowers that showed the physical abuse, which is the physical manifestation of emotional abuse, which had been going on for years in the form of branding. And I showed that on the New York times cover and that led to an investigation and the trial and eventual conviction of the leader.Six week trial led to 120 year conviction of the leader. And that was I left six years ago. The trial was about four years ago and three years ago, two and a half years ago. My sense of time is a [00:05:00] little off. My husband and I were in a docuseries that, that documented this whole journey, how we got in and how we escaped on HBO max called the vow.And that really propelled us into this really interesting space where, where we were now sharing something that a lot of people could relate to is like, Oh, I would've, I would've totally joined that. And that's flipped the script as a lot up until then. So many people we encountered, especially since leaving and shouting from the rooftops, we were in a cult you know, they were watching it going.I could have, I could have fallen for that when that's very different when the past people would say I would never have fallen for that. And that's opened up a whole, you know, set of bizarre doors and opportunities for us as whistleblowers and survivors to speak about our experience. Educate people. And that's been like a phenomenally rewarding thing.And ironically, and I didn't say this at the beginning, I, one of the reasons I joined next team as well was to help people. I was, you know, I really enjoyed that process and [00:06:00] now I get to do it for real on the other side and help educate, shine light, prevent, help people get out. If they're already in something, help people heal.If they've already gotten out. All the different stages along the way and help families. And overall just bring awareness to this topic that is kind of become a lot more mainstream now. Narcissism, cultic abuse, gaslighting. It's much more accessible and people are more aware of it. So it's been an interesting time to be part of the zeitgeist in that way.And and then now we have a podcast that emerged in COVID when we had stopped acting. So it's been a interesting, organic progression to be a podcaster as I wrote a book and also and now doing more speaking events and panels on the topic. So yeah, here we are. There we are. Yeah. Cliff notes.Katherine: Yes. I remember watching the vow. I don't remember. I think it was in during COVID watching it and [00:07:00] had just left an abusive church. And that was cult cults like they're definitely very high control, very lot of, you know, stuff being hidden by religiosity and God speak and Jesus talk. And I, I, a lot of us.who had left were like, have you seen The Vow? Have you guys been watching The Vow? Are you watching The Vow? Because The Vow is like very, very, very similar to what we just went through. And I think that that was the thing that stood out to me as well as how engaging it was. And it just I was like, that sounds like Christianity, like so much of so much of the, the attraction and the way that like the evangelizing that was happening and the way that people were getting brought into this thing that, that was presented as this very good thing.And in some ways it seemed like it actually was a good thing. Yeah. Tell me a little bit about that part of [00:08:00] it of like what attracted you to this. And like, what, what drew you in as a very professional human being? Sarah: Yeah. You know what? There's every single group that we've ever talked to anyone about in our podcast.There is always good stuff on the outside. And that's actually one of the first questions we ask people so that others can. See what some of those red flags are of like, you know, what's the catch with this perfect, shiny, amazing, happy community. Well, what, what drew me in was a number of things. And, and partly it was, you know, the age that I was.Where I was, you know, doing this acting work and it wasn't really filling my soul. It wasn't filling my cup in terms of like, this is not the meaningful work that I want to be doing. And the thought of. Cause really they offered a lot of things. The community was presented almost in a way that would appeal to whatever the person wants.And I later learned to do that for others. Like what, what is it that you're looking for? What I was looking for was a, [00:09:00] a community, a supportive, helpful community. I was looking for more meaning and purpose in my life being a, you know, Being in a Budweiser commercial wasn't like really that meaningful to me, even though it paid well, but it was like, this is not what I signed up for or what I wanted as an actor.And I've always been into personal development. I've always believed that. And I still believe actually that you can work on yourself or be, you know, be better or like work through. And there was a term that they used. I don't think I was really using this term before was limiting beliefs. That there's beliefs that we have, and I actually do believe that we have still believe that we have limiting beliefs about ourselves.Like Katherine: something like, I can't do it. Like, yeah. Sarah: Yeah. Yeah. Just like, you know, even as an actor, like even thinking things, thinking something like, which was had at the time, like I always get nervous and auditions, there's some beliefs under that about myself that caused me to be nervous. [00:10:00] Which would limit me about, you know, without, with auditions, cause that's like a big part of being an actor.So I really love the idea of working through my limiting beliefs, being, the best version of myself and, and striving to follow this model. And one of the things that appealed to me, I mean, I didn't like it at the beginning, but I eventually did like it after my first five day training, which is my first foray into Nexium is they offered this growth path in the form of.Like a martial arts system with different levels and stripes and colors and I liked that. Like I, there was something about that that was measurable for me. If I do this, I'll go to the next level and that, that appealed to me because an actor, we don't have that either, like get the job or you don't, you don't really know why you do or you don't, and you could do all the right things, but not actually go to the next level.So I liked the concept of being able to. Complete a task, work on a skill, and, and evolve. It was certainty. With certainty. Yeah, it was [00:11:00] certainty in a very uncertain world. Needless to say, I mean, it was all bullshit, but if it was what it was supposed to be, it would have been great. Katherine: Yeah. And if it is, if it is something that like is actually delivering what it's promising, then it would be a really awesome. Yes, exactly. Yeah, so, so those were some of the good things that drew you in just to create some context for folks what were some of the, like, things that started alarms, that started going off that were like, Hmm, maybe this isn't what it, what it's promising.Sarah: I mean, Honestly, there were, there were red flags right from the beginning, but I didn't know what I was looking at. If I had done, if I, if somebody invited me to something now that was. And with the education I have, I wouldn't have even signed the paperwork, let alone attended because I would have known, Oh, I'm feeling pressured and they're using a scarcity mentality in order to, you know, [00:12:00] like this is the only one.And when, you know, when are you going to do this and when are you going to change your life? And any hesitation I had would be. Proof of how I was not ready to commit to my goals. Like it was a lot of manipulation tactics just getting me there. And then once I was there a lot of red flags in regards to what I now know as setting the stage for future abuse.Even as simple as they said, like, you're going to feel uncomfortable and you're going to feel like you're going to, you're going to doubt that maybe even this is the right place for you to be. That internal dialogue is an indication of what they call the disintegration. So you're either integrated on a concept or disintegrated and any internal questioning was just a sign that you needed to work on something.I know. So, if you agree to that, which I did. Because I'm, I'm assuming that these people who, I just never, I never projected bad intent because that's the thing is when you give yourself over to a higher power or a higher authority, [00:13:00] you're saying, you know, better than I do. And tell me, tell me what to do.Tell me how to be. And I was, I was like, okay, well, I pay just paid like 20. 2, 100 is 2, 500 Canadian to spend five days in a room and I want to work on my issues. I am saying, I trust you. You got to tell me what you see and if what they're saying is different than how I feel, that's a problem. Katherine: Yeah, absolutely. Oh, and that's such a such an easy thing to happen and then it's presented as you're like to listen to someone else tell you and name you and tell you what you need to work on and listen to someone else outside of you is. Is held up as like a humble thing and like a character quality.Yes. And if you were to resist and ask questions or say, I don't feel comfortable with Sarah: this. And that's, Oh, then I'm also being defiant. Katherine: Yeah. Yeah. Or selfish or, or you don't want to work on your issues or you don't really care Sarah: about this. Yeah. I mean, they said that you should be able to ask [00:14:00] questions and put your hand up, but it was very clear when people did ask questions, you know, how they felt about that.And also like it was, I learned very quickly that there were names for the feelings I was having that weren't good. So I was just suppress them. And I want also, I'm a good girl, I want to be a good girl, I want to get it right, I like the gold stars. Yeah. I like the validation. Katherine: Absolutely. And there was a very clear like type of person that fit and you like, learned to Sarah: fit.Yes. I learned to fit and I wanted to get the, I wanted to go up the levels and I wanted to get the next stripe. And I learned to override the feelings because the other thing they said is like, you're here to work on your shit. You're here to work on your stuff. So. Yeah. You know, don't leave. We're just talking about these things.If the sash around your neck, there was a sash systems for the martial arts ranks. If that bothers you, why can't you even talk about it in a room? Like we're just talking about it. So I should be able to talk about it. And so therefore don't leave. If I'm leaving, I'm just running away from my issues.so [00:15:00] many double binds. We call them massive double. Katherine: Yes, literally the phrase that popped into my head. Yes. Well, I, I want folks to be able to hear your whole story. And so I'll just plug your book, which is called scarred. Correct. Sarah: Yes, thank you. And I don't know if you ever do giveaways on your podcast, but we can do that too.Katherine: Let's do it. Why not? Yeah, I haven't done one of those in a long time. Let's do it. And then a little bit culty, and then also the vow on HBO, or not HBO on max. So those are places that folks can get more. About your story and actually get your get your full story and all the details about that.And so I want to step into talking about the impact of this. And if you want to talk about the impact like while you were in it and like what, what this coercive control manipulation was doing to you while you were in it. And then very specifically after after you left, like how was so I'm going to ask you to tell us a little [00:16:00] bit about how you experienced this, this trauma showing up for you and what, what did this experience do to you?And if you want to also share some examples of just similar patterns you've seen in folks that you have been interviewing on your podcast as well. Yeah, just paint us a picture of what happens after this experience. Sarah: After leaving? Yes. I mean, there was many different stages, I would say, like I've been out for six years and there was a lot of just grief, like I was, I had a massive PTSD reaction or potentially CPTSD just from the sort of ongoing abuse, but I, in many ways, I was like kind of the, one of the least Can I swear on this podcast?I was one of the least fucked with because, because I was a recruiter and I brought so many people in many ways, they kind of left me alone. I, I had, I was in Vancouver. I was running, I had been running my center. Which is sort of like a. You know, a separate, like, it's sort of like a franchise. Like I had my, I had [00:17:00] my center and I was using the tools and the parts of the program that were good and that I liked.And I, you know, brought people in that were going up the pipeline to the leadership. So they kind of left me alone, but I, so I didn't have the same amount of. 100 percent commitment. Like I'd never moved to Albany. I'd never moved and given up my whole life. And I always had my foot in reality. In other words, like my foot outside of the compound, it wasn't an actual compound, but some people gave up everything to be there, you know?And so that kept me in many ways, it protected me and gave me a soft place to land. There's a lot of people I could go to and that I always knew that we. Were you know, people thought that we were in a cult. I, I knew that. And I, and I thought that they just didn't understand. Mm-Hmm. , right. I just, I was like, oh, they don't get it.And for, for the first couple of weeks. And, you know, I was just going through those people and being like, okay, you were right. And I'm sorry. And I'm really kind of fucked up right [00:18:00] now. Shouting from the rooftop and like doing all the stuff that we did to get the media attention and things like that so there was like different stages of first I was on this yeah rampage of like I got to take this thing down and I felt like I was one of the There's a few of us that were at the forefront of that and I think in many ways It was the ones that of us that could whereas other people were so had been so head fucked and so gaslit and so manipulated that they were like, you know, literally in bed depressed Couldn't move or, or just had to shut down and like pretend it never happened and move cities and like not even deal with it, which people dealt with it in different ways.My dealing with it was because I've been so public and so such a vouching you know, zealot. I was like a fundamentalist personal growth junkie. Yeah. This is the way, this is the only way, red flag, to person to, you know, to grow and to reach enlightenment or whatever. Like. And so then on the other side, I had to be just as loud.So that was like one big stage, and I spent [00:19:00] like a long time just on the phone with people, trying to de enroll them, trying to explain like, yes, I was branded, and no, I didn't consent, and no, I didn't know it was Keith's initials, and like, trying to show them that it was bad. And for the people who are real diehards, there's some people who still don't think that was bad.Because they've, they've so committed their lives to this path. They're so bought in and to look now and go like, Oh, maybe this isn't good is just too hard for them. Like they're just, yeah, it's Katherine: just too much given to it and it's Sarah: just, yeah, it's easier to go. No, this was good. You know, Keith may have. I've heard them say you know, this is, maybe he's not conventional, but he always, he's a good person.Like they, they can't even fathom that maybe he's a bad person. So. That was one of the stages also was like just reallycoming to terms with like I lost so many of my of my good friends and I and I and I lost them [00:20:00] quickly. I lost them overnight. So that was a big part of it. Like leaving my community again because I had some community and friends outside of it. I think that was partly what saved me. I, you know, I hadn't burnt all my bridges, I'd burnt many bridges, for sure, but not all of them.Thankfully there were some friendships I never touched, I never tried to recruit, even though I did try to recruit many people. So I'd say all of, you know, that was a big stage. And then and then I got pregnant. I got pregnant with my second child a couple years after we got out as I was writing a book.And that was, I was, I was really working through and like having a big catharsis with that process. And having to also say no to, like, I was at that time I was going to do a Tedx talk and I was going to do a bunch of things. I was like, that's gonna be too stressful. And I want to like create a safe, loving incubator for my baby.And that kind of forced me to block out a lot of the stuff that I've been doing. There was like a sort of an ongoing campaign still to [00:21:00] expose and destroy and I mean, by say destroy, like, Make sure that nobody else was recruited into NXIVM and those things happen. Like NXIVM itself does no longer exist.There's no company. Are there people who still believe Keith is good? Yes. So I, that's part of the reason why I'm still talking because I want to get everybody out. . And then, and then, and then I'd say that like, I'm most, I think it's a lifelong healing journey, but there's a lot of things that I've done over the years that have really propelled me to another level of healing and yeah, having kids being kind of forced to stay present and not be in that war, that campaign pulled me to another stage.And then there's just lots of things I do for self care that I wasn't kind of, I wasn't allowed to do. It just wasn't a lot of time for it. Purpose probably. Yeah. On purpose. Yeah. And just like family time and being able to change my schedule and do things like You know, go to the farmer's markets on the [00:22:00] weekend and the old days when in the cult days that like there was never a free weekend, there was never every weekend if there was a free weekend where there wasn't a training and be like, Who should we fly out from the mothership to like, do a coach summit or, you know, oh, there's nothing happening.Let's organize a, you know, nationwide or citywide barbecue and like, it'll be a great enrollment opportunity. Like every weekend there was something going on with the You know, with my center and you know, three nights a week as well, Monday and Wednesday. And anyways, it was like always just go, go, go, go, go.So to be able to get my, you know, reclaim my time and, and like clear my schedule, which I think anyone is in any kind of group doesn't realize until they get out of something and they clear their schedule. They're like, wow, there's so much time devoted to this thing. Right. Katherine: Absolutely. And then probably like a reward for that time commitment is always more and always more and always pushing and, and, and to some extent that's just like wired into our our society.So when we get into a group that's like that, that just [00:23:00] feels so, so normal. It's like, that's just what you do in this group. I remember being in the, the abusive church and like. It was going through a lot and a lot of people were leaving and there would be these like events that we would have every year.And there were a few times where we were like looking around and we're like, we've lost staff. We are exhausted. Can we just not do this event? Can we just Not do this this year, because we're so tired and the leadership was like, it was always like, you know, PR move like no we have to pretend like everything is fine and you have to present like a united front to the, to the, you know, congregation and like having to like, you know, just kind of power through these events, and there wasn't this like posture of like what's best.For you and care. I mean, like want to like intentionally care for this community. That idea of like, no, we know what's best for you and we know what's best. And this is what what's best looks like and always moving and always pushing. [00:24:00] And yeah, just that, that's that environment that I think so many people can relate with, even like a work culture, you know, like, just like.Work cultures can be like that too. And I think it's safe for us to say, well, then that's an unhealthy work culture. We're allowed to say that, like, we don't have to just say, this is just normal. This is just the way it is. Like, no, we can say that's toxic. Like that's not a, not a helpful environment. Did you have any else thing else you wanted to say just about Impact on you, the CPTSD, PTSD, like how is that showing up for you? Sarah: Yeah, I mean, again, different stages. There was a time at the beginning where I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I lost a ton of weight. I was just like, I was, Nippy called it sniper mode.We were just so hypervigilant. Yeah. I didn't know if we were being, you know, like, you know, spied on, if they were coming to get us. We just, yeah, we were a mess. That didn't last too, too long in the scheme of things, but I'm still a little [00:25:00] jumpy. Yeah. Like if, you know, it's so funny. I just said that my husband just made a loud nose in the kitchen and I was like, what was that?Like, you know, I've been broken into. So, you know, things like that. My trust in humanity is definitely restored. Like, it's amazing how, when we stepped away from that. That world, all these incredible people sort of showed up and you'd think maybe I wouldn't trust them right away. But I was like, I, I felt the difference to like a good versus, I wouldn't say bad person, but like, you know, I just, some, some angels showed up and kind of swooped us up and took really good care of us, especially the people that made the vow.Like that was a really wonderful experience and that impact of doing the vow. You know, that could have, that could have gone so many different ways. Like that could have, that could have been a shit show for us. And it wasn't. And like you said, you're, you and your friends were listening and watching going, have you seen the vow?I can tell you, I still get messages from people in all different groups and relationships, mostly things like different [00:26:00] religious offshoots or like particularly closed communities or like the Jehovah's witnesses, a ton of Mormons message, the Mormons especially were like, Oh my goodness, we were in lockdown watching tiger King.And then we were watching the vow and they're like, Holy shit, we're, you know, in a really not good situation. So that, that continues to be very rewarding for me. And, you know, I think that if had there not been so many silver linings from this experience. You know, I don't know if I would have like recovered like I, it was, it was such a, I didn't mention this before the betrayal, the betrayal wound is one of my, one of the things in my, my therapist, I call it therapist Dan Shaw helped me with and who's a, who's a narcissist expert really helped me see is that when you're people that you trust betray you on that level, it can be a wound that is, takes a while to heal.And these were like. People I considered family who knew what Keith was up to and they were lying to us. And that's something that I never, you know, [00:27:00] and I always say we underestimated people's capacity to lie. We just totally took things at face value. Oh, Keith is celibate. Oh, okay, cool. He doesn't need sex.Great. What are all these women around him? Oh, that's part of his team. Like, okay. mean, it's so obvious and I feel probably like I was very naive. Now, but, Katherine: and, yeah, I'm a trusting person, go into relationships thinking, oh, they're lying to me. Yeah. Most Sarah: people don't. Yeah. But I do, what I do know now, and I see in almost every group, there's some term for it, which is basically like in a group like ours and every, every group we've looked at, there's this sort of.Belief that it's okay to lie for the greater good, and it's okay to lie to protect the leader. Or, you know, for, there's some other greater reason it's okay to say, you know, no, we're not doing X, Y, and Z if it means to, to print like. The big picture. It's okay. The ends justify the means. Katherine: Yeah, that ends justify the mean things.Means [00:28:00] thing. You said that people came in like as you were leaving and kind of supported you and you said it felt different. Can you describe what that different feeling was? I mean, there was just no manipulation. Like I remember once having a conversation with, it wasn't even my therapist, just somebody who's a, who was a family friend who was a therapist. And I had shared briefly sort of what had happened and his first response was, wow, that sounds like.Sarah: That sounds really horrible. It sounds really hard. Mm-Hmm. And, and then I was like, whoa. Because in nex Im, if I shared, shared something that bad that had happened, the an the question would be, you know, well, how did you cause that? Mm-Hmm. , and you know, what, you know, or, or, or, how did you author that? Or, what's your responsibility in it?Mm-Hmm. . Or what's missing in you that you felt like you needed to create that? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So all that kind of bullshit was, really upsetting. Katherine: It sounds like they believed Sarah: [00:29:00] you. Yeah, they believed me. Yeah. And that's, that's the thing. And also, I had a lot of moments like that where I was like, whoa.That other way was actually really bad. And I had no idea how toxic it was until I was No longer dealt with that way. Katherine: Yeah. Yeah. And in the church world, it's called the, the, the reverse of that is like, well, what's your responsibility or, you know, why don't you give, or you're being bitter or you're angry or whatever.And then, and then they'll call that accountability and character development and, and it's framed as this like good thing. When it's just. Invalidation and bypassing. Sarah: Yeah, I definitely see that in almost every religion is that people are shamed into like to not express a concern because then they're then they're complaining or they're stinking thinking or it's negative or whatever.So they learn to not say it so there's no there's no place to bring forward a concern. And that's a that's a really that's a [00:30:00] really, you know, great protective mechanism for somebody who's a. Cult a hole. Do you know what I mean? Like, or somebody who's just being a, you know wants to abuse power or do bad things if there's no place for the people around them to, to question it or say, you know, is this good or is this bad?Then that's, that makes the, the clo we call it the closed loop system, right? Katherine: Mm-Hmm. . Yeah. And all of the accountability is like outward towards everyone else, but then that like, yeah. Leader or leadership doesn't, it doesn't, they don't play by the same rules, Sarah: like, right. Well, that, and that was something also that I saw as a consistent thing is that all of the dogma and, and, you know, there's like a lot of great truth to taking responsibility for things that happen in your life and that's, it can be a good thing, but if it's always.It's always your fault. And the other person didn't have any responsibility. Then, and that's, that's something I say all the time. Wait, especially in XM. There's no victims and you create everything in your life. Now, Keith is in jail. And he's the [00:31:00] victim. Like he's the victim of the like, Oh, the FBI plan. Oh, the FBI must have planted evidence.Oh, but, but Keith, how did you cause this? How did you get yourself into jail? Like, where is that? Where is it now? Where is it now? You know, and that, that's, that's such a huge inconsistency and inconsistencies are something that if you, you know, you bring up then you're. Not trusting the process or in the yoga communities, like you have resistance.What's with your resistance? Katherine: Oh my goodness. Wow. Yeah. Like the inconsistency thing in the as a, as a red flag is, is something that's It seems to happen a lot. And these groups, there's a, there's a double standard where there's between two different people or it's between the leadership and everyone else or whatever.That double standard inconsistency is definitely something that pops up I would love to hear from you just a little bit about. Recovery has been like, [00:32:00] and what are things that have helped you? Sarah: Again, different stages. I think the biggest part of my recovery at first was just talking about it and being with other X members and being able to speak freely without the shackles of the language constraints to be able to say, Oh, Oh, remember that time when so and so did this.That was a really mean thing to do. We never could have talked that way because that would have been. You know, breaking rank and, you know, all sorts of rules, broken images, expressing that way. And I didn't realize how suppressed I was. I couldn't go up line in my, in the authoritarian, you know, thing because they didn't get in trouble.And if I went down, that's bad leadership. So I was kind of like, you know, hogtied. I could talk to my husband, which is, I think, kind of a rare situation. And most people in my situation, we just couldn't talk to anybody. And also Mark Vicente, who was the person who brought me in. If you've seen The Vow, he's the director that.That brought me in, but also got me out. So speaking about it, and then you know, Reclaiming my time educating [00:33:00] myself. I did a lot of watching of other documentaries and podcasts and movies and all sorts of things that really helped me connect the dots. And I have notes from my early days of watching movies like going clear and Scientology or holy hell about Buddhafield and just seeing.Like, holy shit. This is the, it's, it's the exact same. Like really even in our podcast, every time we interview someone, it's like the, it's the exact same template. Yeah. I mean, some of the content, yeah, some of the content points. It always the same school and learned. We did the same school, even like with holy hell, the leaders doing this, forced ballet classes and with us it was volleyball.But it's the same kind of like obsession with this one thing. Physical, yeah. Just yes. And like, you got to get this thing right, but the performance and the adulation of the leader and all that stuff. So that was really helpful. And then there's a lot of things that I've done, I guess. So therapy wise at different stages, having an actual cult therapist was really helpful for me.And I saved a lot of time there because not only did he understand the dynamics, but he actually already knew [00:34:00] Nexium, which was great. So if I said, well, Nancy did this to me once, or Keith said this to me or whatever, he knew what I was talking about. Having a psychologist that didn't have cult training was laborious, but also really helpful because I would have to explain things that, that I realized, like, as, as explaining it, I was out of deprogramming myself.You know, in one particular moment I was saying to him, Oh, well, in our, in our belief system, we. Believed that needs were like survival based, you know, air, shelter, water, whatever. And anything else was considered a desire and therefore a non integrated fixation. You need to work on like, why did you think you needed this thing to be okay?Love, connection, community, blah, blah, blah. So then he, I remember, cause he didn't know anything about cults and he was like, well, those are needs to survive. But what about needs to thrive? And I was like, Oh, they didn't want us to thrive. And I always thought that the people in Albany who live there look fricking miserable.And I was like, [00:35:00] that's why they were miserable. They weren't allowed to have a career or relationship because then they were, they were shamed into like, that that was just a deficiency based desire. In other words, there's something wrong with you that you're even searching. Like, why do you even need that from the outside world to be complete?So that was you know, an interesting process to have a you know, a cult. A therapist and then a regular therapist, but I think a lot of my therapy came from just talking and educating myself and talking to other survivors. And then there's a whole series of things that I've done and continue to do.Like I'm, I do yoga, but I do like a not culty yoga. Like there's no dogma. There's no education. There's no leader. There's no, it's just more of like a fitness thing. Because that's how I protect myself, like I don't do kundalini or, yeah, like that. I walk a lot, you know, after this podcast, I will walk and, and like, clear my mind.Some like sort of spiritual, somebody, some might say woo woo practices that I do, but there's no It's not, it's not like a [00:36:00] tied to a certain school or program. It's just like a little practice here, a little practice there. I take my green juice. I'm very health oriented. I'm all about like getting good sleep and all the things that we weren't allowed.Like I remember when I started Nexium, I was They would say I have, I would have had an attachment to comfort because I was like, I'm getting my eight hours. And they're like, well, why do you think you need eight hours? And I'm like, well, that's just what, how I function best. And I'm like, why do you think that would if it's a limiting belief?And by the end of it, I was having like four or five hours of sleep a night to prove to them how much sleep I didn't need and how I could be like such a bad ass, you know, but really I do need, like I, I do best on as much sleep as I possibly can get. So prioritizing that and prioritizing what's right for me and not going with somebody else.Going on what somebody else says is right for me has been also huge. A lot of baths. I take Epsom salt baths for my CPTSD almost every night. Putting a lot of money on hot water. I'm sure. Katherine: Hey, it's very sensory and it like, yeah, it's you and [00:37:00] your body. It helps you be present. It's Sarah: yes. Yes. And you could cut this out if you want, but I also microdose psilocybin a fair bit, which also does, does all of those things keeps me, my body has to be present.I don't get, I'm not doing it to hallucinate or get high on mushrooms, but it just helps me not be anxious. Yes. So yeah, that's, that's kind of, those are my main, lots of variety. Yeah. Lots of variety. And oh, and hiking, I like love being in nature and that's like super important to me. I try to get out at least once a week.Katherine: What would you say this is something that like is I think just like a constant question that a lot of folks have and something that I'm, I'm kind of exploring as well is like the difference between having someone help you like a therapist and like that language versus a guru who was like telling you what to do and like, what does it feel like to have that difference.Or what does that difference feel like? [00:38:00] Sarah: Yeah, I'd say that that like a healthy therapist feels like they're on a journey with me and they're just, , questioning and , it's like they're going down in the cave with me. We're both shining lights and we're looking together. Whereas the, the guru approach or, you know, like an axiom, I always felt like there was literally like a.Such a power power difference. Like I'm sitting down here and they would be sitting up there like even the seats were raised and we're kind of looking up at and tell me what to do, like, what do you think and Reclaiming that has been definitely been a huge part of my healing.Katherine: Yeah, so the guru is more like the expert Mm hmm or life telling you how to do it Sarah: And I have to be so careful with that too, because I do love to give people unsolicited advice. You know, especially in our podcast. I do like to be Katherine: like, that's not a good thing. Don't do this. Sarah: And I'm like, you really need to be taking more baths.Okay. I'm just kidding. But I'm like, well, what, how do I try to phrase it now? I was like, this is what's worked [00:39:00] for me. This is what works for me. And you can do whatever you want. I don't care. Katherine: Yeah, no, I like the phraseology. I have to do the same thing. It's like, well, you know, I have that same situation and this is what I try.Yeah. Do with that what you'll exactly. Yeah. And then that would be as opposed to someone who is like, partnering with you in this journey and, and just like being empathetic to the experience rather than telling Yes. That they know better what you need than you do. Yes. Yeah. Exactly. I love that.That's great. Any, any final things that you would like to share as we wrap up put all of your information in the show notes, but if you have any information that you want to give folks about how to interact with you, Sarah: I mean, I'd say like if they want to know the full story, my book in combination with the vow, I think is a really good balance because the vow has my story, but also massive gaps in some things that happen.But the vow [00:40:00] has a lot of other people's stories. And if you want to go down an axiom rabbit hole, there's tons of other memoirs out there. But I think that our podcast I've, I've been told is very therapeutic for people of all different groups, religions you know, even abuse situations because you're hearing the stories from different, different people's perspectives that.You're not maybe necessarily as attached to like defending or being protective of your group, whatever that is. So when you hear when other people's stories, you're like, Oh yeah, I relate to that. And it can be, well, it's free. It's free therapy. So not that it's not in lieu of therapy. I'm not saying like, don't do therapy, but it's gonna be a bonus.And I also say, like, there's some episodes that will resonate and some that won't. Just skip them. You don't have, you don't have to listen to all of them. If it's something that that, that is resonant for people, there's a, we're also on Patreon and we do a lot, we do another bonus episode every week.And that's more casual. And we answer questions from the audience. We do voicemails. And we also have a Goodreads account. I recommend a lot of books [00:41:00] and I interview a lot of authors. So all of the books that we love are on our little bit culty Goodreads account. And I think the best way if you want to just reach out to me personally is on my Instagram.I, I answer every message. A little bit culty is a little bit backlogged, but people can check us out there as well. And if they want to be a guest, a little bit culty, they can apply through our website. Oh, the one thing I would say also that's really cool, I think that I did recently is a TEDx talk.I don't know if you had a chance to see it or hear it. Yeah. It's 15 minutes of like the summary of why people need to educate themselves about cults. It's very, it's like a lot. It's like some people call it the best of a little bit culty in a very short period of time. So it's a lot of quick nuggets.Yeah. And I think, I think your community would like it. Katherine: That sounds good. I might reach out to you. I might reach out to you later about that because a couple of years ago I had talked to someone about doing a TEDx talk about spiritual abuse and they kind of discouraged me from [00:42:00] it because it's supposed to be inspirational and it didn't, they're like, Sarah: that's inspirational.Well TEDx actually has some kind of like a little bit quality rules. Like you can't talk about politics or religion. Okay. It's in, it's in their rule book. But. So talking about spiritual abuse, I don't know how you would frame it in a different way. You have to frame it in a different way. Yeah. Go ahead and talk about spiritual bypassing and just not mention religion.Ah, Katherine: yeah, that's true. True, true, true. Cool. Well, thank you so much for giving us your time. I'm excited to just see what, see what develops. Thank you for all the work Sarah: that you're doing. My absolute pleasure. It's, it's a total joy to talk about and I will continue to talk about it until everybody is out.So everyone. Yes. Free the slaves. Katherine: Free the slaves.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are covering two popular documentaries that have recently been getting a lot of attention, "Escaping Twin Flames" on Netflix and "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God" on Max. We discuss how cults prey on vulnerable people, some red flags to look out for and discuss similarities between these two cults as well as others. We hope you enjoy! Psychology Today Article Instagram Youtube TikTok Website Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Furey, a psychiatrist. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And this is analyze scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and tv shows. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And your DSM five, and enjoy. Welcome back to another episode of analyze scripts. We are doing something a little bit different today. Usually we focus on fictional tv shows and movies, but we have decided to take a stand against cults. And we have decided that we will make an exception and talk about cults when they're in the media, because they are honestly just so atrocious. So we're going to try to walk a really fine line here and still be ethical. We're not trying to analyze anyone specifically in terms of the people that are talked about and the two documentaries we're going to be talking about today. But we want to use this material to talk more broadly about cults in general, again, because it is really pervasive, it's really dangerous, it's heartbreaking, and we see it a lot in the media, but there's still so much confusion about it. So, again, if you want to hear more, you can also revisit one of our older episodes about yellow jackets season two with Dr. Jesse Gold. We talk a lot about Lottie's cult. And so, basically today what we're going to do is I watched a documentary about a cult. Portia watched a different documentary about the cult. A different cult. And we didn't watch each other's documentaries. And we're going to tell each other about the different cults. Right? Did I explain that? Yeah. Okay, so do you want me to get started, or do you want to get started? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Portia, why don't you intro yours and get started? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, not my cult, but the cult. Too short. Okay, so I'm going to be referring to a recent Netflix documentary called escaping Twin Flames. I think that's what it's called. It was only about three episodes. They're about an hour long each. Interestingly, I watched them on an airplane when we were flying down to Disney World. So it was like an interesting juxtaposition, like going to the happiest place on earth and then watching all of this sadness and heartbreak and intensity sitting next to my children. It's interesting. This documentary follows an organization which obviously they don't call themselves a cult, but they have some experts kind of weighing in who do call it a cult, or also a high control group is like another phrase used to describe cults these days. And basically it's run by these two people, Jeff and Shalia, who I was just looking up their Wikipedia before we got started, Portia. And they both have had different names throughout their lives, according to Wikipedia, which I just think is interesting. And they run something called the Twin Flames University. I had never heard of twin flames until Megan Fox and machine gun Kelly. Right. Like, weren't they all about twin flames? Had you heard of this before? A little. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, it's like an extra. Like, that was my understanding of what. Or, like, not an extra, a soulmate to the right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. Yeah. So I again looked it up on Wikipedia, because doctors use Wikipedia, too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Did you donate? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: No, it's Christmas time. I'm a little stressed. But basically, according to Wikipedia, it says, the term twin flames was coined by the english novelist Marie Corelli in her novel of romance of two worlds. And since then, it has sort of evolved into a lot of new age spiritualism. Kind of focuses on twin flames. It's kind of like, it's my understanding it's like your soulmate, but even greater than that. So it's almost like meeting your counterpart and that you have to find each other in order to both achieve your full potential. That's kind of what it is. And then I guess these two folks started this twin flames university where you could take classes about bettering yourself and finding your twin flame. And again, like we talked about in our yellow jackets documentary, always be very careful when someone calls themselves a guru. Someday we'll have merch that has that slogan on it. Right. But just always be careful. And I was looking, and their class that they sold was over $4,000. That's a lot of money. A lot. But again, I see this. I don't know if you see it in people you're treating or evaluating, but I see a lot of people coming to me who are paying a lot of money out of pocket. They don't take insurance. They're also not advertising themselves as clinicians. They might advertise themselves as, quote unquote, life coaches or a coach of some kind, but you can charge whatever you want for whatever you're selling. And it's just interesting to me how some people get hooked and some people charge so much money. Anyway, what the premise of the documentary, Portia, is, is know. So these two people start this twin flames university, and they kind of use themselves as, like, we found our twin flame and this is how we did it. And look at how successful we are and how happy we are and stuff. And then people start joining, and it kind of becomes. I feel like they always become these MLM type things, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Where it's like you buy in and then you become the teacher. Did you watch that documentary about the Nexium cult? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Not that one, but Portia, I think I did the Lululemon. Not Lululemon, the Lula Rowe similar. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So the nextium was really good. Also, like, heartbreaking and awful, but it's a really good expose about typical cult psychology. But again, it's like we are up here on a pedestal. Typically, cult leaders are like, malignant narcissists who want to be idealized, and they want people to obey them no matter what. And they have this sociopathic flair to them. Again, I'm not analyzing anyone specifically or individually. I'm just talking about, in general, what we see. They have this sociopathic flare where, again, they kind of get off or get a rush from controlling people. So those tend to be the people at the top of a cult, and then below are people who are vulnerable to this type of influence. And I think that's where the psychology is really fascinating. Like, how do people get hooked and kind of. It's not always like someone waiting on the end of the road, like, hey, come sign up for my cult. No one would do it. Right? So it tends to be people who are vulnerable in some way. Whether there's been a history of trauma, I would say really common. If there's developmental or intellectual disability, if there is some type of mental illness that can be exploited. Like, I remember in my training, a colleague of mine was treating a patient with psychosis who was getting sucked into these cults. And for someone like that who's already struggling to tell reality from not reality, you can see why you're vulnerable to this. And other times, I think you can just think of it as an unclear sense of self, like someone who maybe is feeling a little lost or who's looking to feel connection or community or love. I think those types of people might be more apt to, I don't know, just, I guess, feel, like, enticed by someone saying, I have all the answers. Look how great my life is. Like, you can have this, too. If you pay me $100 million and do everything I say and change everything about yourself, isn't that great? I think people who have a really strong sense of self, who have more of a secure attachment style, probably will sniff out the bs and turn away and not be as easily manipulated as other people who maybe are struggling with that. I don't know. What do you think? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think that's pretty true. I mean, I think a generalization would be that people who tend to kind of fall into cults or even like mlms, it's like you're looking for something and then this organization is promising to deliver, and then there's this added layer of like, you're a family. And obviously that feels really strong in a cult as we know it. And then also we do see that show up in Lularoe and your team and your girl boss thing. So it can be obviously different levels of it, but totally. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I found a really interesting article that we're going to link to in our show notes because we know how to do that now on psychology today, that really explains cults, written by Stephen Hassan, a PhD I thought was like a really good, easy to digest description. And they also say you can see these dynamics not just in cults, but you can see it in mlms, you can see it in religious organizations, you can see it in schools, you can see it in families, you can see it in the workplace. Again, it's not like this phenomenon is unique to cults. I think it's just from the outside. Like when you're watching a documentary like this, you're just like, what? How on earth did these people stick around? And it's because it's so insidious and slow, right? Like we're seeing it in a three hour documentary. This has been going on for years. I think these people started this organization like 2007. It doesn't happen overnight, right? So usually the leader is really charming and charismatic and captivating in some way, but then there's a lot of nefarious things going on underneath. So we'll link to that because it's really interesting. And I think it's important just to note that these dynamics exist other places. And that's one reason we want to talk about it again, to sort of help educate and push out some information. So I guess with this one, with the twin Flames university. So again, the whole goal is like, sign up for this class. You'll become self actualized. I feel like that's another thing. All these cults sort of advertise like, you'll be your best self, and then that's confusing. Because I feel like Weight Watchers advertise this, too, and other types of self help advertise that. So how do you draw the line? But then you pay for this. And then as this documentary goes on, Portia, you meet different characters in it, and you meet, like, there was one. I was trying to just look up their names again really quick. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So is this online mostly, like, the university? Like, I could sign up and take the class. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: You could go right now. I went to the website, actually, to see if it's still there. And it is. So it is online. And then they started having in person meetups, which I think once you do that, then those connections are even stronger. Right? Like, now you're seeing each other in person, and it's like, this is our community. This is our. He did, the leader, Jeff did have a goal of eventually having an actual community. Like, we're all going to move to this place. I don't know if that ever happened or not, but so we meet a lot of different people involved. And one person involved that really struck me was this young girl named Marley. I think she was in her late teens when she got involved. And again, I feel like that's, like, the perfect person who's susceptible. Like a 17 year old with an Internet connection. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You're really figuring out who you are. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right, exactly. You don't have a fully formed identity yet because you're so young and you're just trying to figure it out. And we don't know anything about her background, so I'm not going to speculate, but basically, she was super young going to these classes. I don't know how she's paying for it. I'm not sure. And then what really struck me is basically, like, jeff and Shalia, the leaders would tell their participants, like, we know who your twin flame is. So, like, once you're self actualized enough, we'll let you know. Or we're going to help make the map. Yes, exactly. Like this ultimate puppeteer, right? This ultimate. And, like, they showed this scene where they were at the in person meetup, and they're all meeting for the first time, and they're talking to Marley and saying, like, well, is there anyone special in your life? Right? You know, they're showing this stuff, and somehow they have footage of it in real, like, they have the old footage. So someone was, like, filming all this, but then they're also showing Marley, like, present day, reflecting on the experience, and they're asking her, is there anyone special in your life right now? And she's kind of shy because she's like a kid and like, well, not really. And then Jeff's pushing her, like, are you sure? Are you sure? Sort of like, suggesting, like, he knows. And then she says, like, well, this guy has been texting me. And he's like, oh, that's it. That's it. This random guy who's texting her, and then that's her twin flame. Over time, she starts having a relationship with this guy. She moves in with him when she's really young. I can't remember the age difference, but there was a pretty significant gap. Not like 20 years, but maybe somewhere between five to ten years. And he had a criminal past. He was doing a lot of drugs. That's all we know. We don't know if there's any other trauma going on in the home as they're living together. I wouldn't be surprised if there was. And it just broke my heart that this young girl gets sucked in to thinking this is the person she's supposed to love, right? And you're just so brainwashed by it. So that was really captivating and sad. And then the other things that we see in the twin flames universe is we see a woman named Keeley, who's a key character in the documentary because she got in early and became, like, one of the teachers. So she was someone who was know. Jeff and Shalia are here. She's like the next level and trying to train other people. And how do you do the classes and stuff? And by the way, all these people are working for free. No one's getting paid. Eventually, Jeff and Shalia somehow incorporate to be a religion so that they don't have to pay taxes. And it's just like, again, all of this stuff is messy and very classic for so. But what's interesting about Keely in this documentary is that she comes in, she finds her twin flame very early on and is sort of put on this pedestal of the ultimate example of, like, look, it's not just us, Jeff and Shalia, who found our true love. These people also did using our methods, and now they can teach you. So they're like the ultimate teachers. And over time, she starts to kind of doubt what's going on. She eventually leaves, and you really see her grapple with the shame and guilt of what she did while she was part of the cult. And there's a scene at the end where she meets another former cult member who she used to be, like, the teacher of and would really push to do unhealthy things. And they just have this moment, this conversation where she's so genuinely apologetic, and it's really heartbreaking. You really see how that whole thing about how someone who's been abused becomes an abuser, and it's really heartbreaking to witness. So she's a really compelling character. And then the cherry on top of this awful Sunday, Portia, is that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Just nervous. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I know. You should be like, hold on tight. So as if all of this wasn't bad enough, as they know, Jeff and shalia start morphing their teachings to include that everyone is either a divine masculine or a divine feminine. Okay? So they're saying you're either a divine masculine or a divine feminine. You don't have both characteristics of both. And you have to find, like, if you're a divine, if you are a divine feminine, you have to define your divine masculine and vice versa. Like, two divine feminines, two divine masculines can't be together. Okay? So then they start telling people whether they are a divine masculine or feminine, whether or not that matches with that individual's own sense of their gender, okay? And it's also not based on the person's outwardly appearing gender. So they're not telling all the outwardly appearing girls you're defined feminine, and all the outwardly appearing males, you are divine masculine. The reason why is because they had way more women as students than men. So I think they started running out of men to pair with people. Honestly, it seems like. So they started telling certain women, like, you are a divine masculine, and this divine feminine is your twin flame. You need to be in a relationship with them. And some of these people now who are being interviewed are like, I'm not attracted this person. I don't feel like I'm trans or anything like that. In Portia, it goes so far that some of the people got top surgery. I know. And so abuse 100% across the board. This is why I feel like we can make the exception and talk about cult like this, because it is so atrocious. It's like a human rights violation, I feel like. And what I really liked about this documentary, actually, is that. And I was, like, talking about this just socially with some of my friends who aren't in the mental health field. And they agreed that they really appreciated how in this documentary, they had someone who is, I forget exactly what their title was, but they work at, like, a university and gender studies and do a lot of advocacy for transgender rights and things like that. And they very clearly said, this actually is anti trans. Like, twin flames university is advertising itself as pro. Like, we support this. We'll support you when no one else in your family does. We'll support you getting your surgery and things like that. But they're like, this is actually completely anti trans because you are telling someone what they are and how their body should look, and you don't care if that matches their own inner experience. Right? And that is like, bad. So bad. And so this documentary does follow a couple of people in particular who ended up getting surgeries. And one of the most heartbreaking scenes is when they follow a group of mothers who have been disconnected from their children, who have joined this cult. And one of them is watching her daughter talk about getting top surgery because she was told she's a divine, masculine, and it's just so heartbreaking to see. And then the other two pieces of the documentary that just blew my mind were at the beginning, they advertised having, and there was a psychologist involved, okay? Like someone with real training. They advertised having some sort of treatment for PTSD, of all things. And I just think that is disgusting. It is egregious. It should be reportable to whatever medical or psychology board this person is licensed by because they're advertising like, we have this treatment. And really they're just like indoctrinating people. And so that was really disgusting to me. And the last thing I wanted to tell you about was we saw one of these moms as she's talking to the camera about basically her child cut her off. And she keeps trying to reach out. She's not hearing back, but she keeps trying. And I feel like that's a message I want to get out is like, if you have someone you love in one of these cults or high control groups, just keep reaching out, even if you're getting nothing back, because you just have to keep that thread of attachment going so that when the person is hopefully ready at some point to leave, they know you're still there. So this mom kept reaching out, kept reaching out even though she wasn't getting anything back. And then as she's talking to the camera, her child text messages her. And you see her very genuine reaction, just like. And all the text said was like, mom, it's me. I need help getting out of this relationship. And she's just like, I just got chills trying to tell you about it because it's so moving and it's so sad. And you see just such a genuine reaction of her saying, like, oh, my God, she got back to me. I want to say something, but I don't want to push her away. I want to keep this going, but I don't want it to be too much like what do I way? And then you see her telling the other moms that she heard from her child and how they're supporting each other. Oh my God. It's really intense. And I would say this documentary is very hard to watch because you really see how so many people have been exploited and traumatized and how they're trying to pick up the pieces and how there's still so many people in it. But I think it really speaks to cults and kind of what it's like. And I feel like twin flames to me always sounded like ludicrous. It just sounds like something that's so ludicrous. But I think that's also an important point is that to some people it's not ludicrous. Yeah. And it just depends on what you're searching for. Right. Whether it's like love or a family or money for MLM schemes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. So that key part, I think in your cult and that what you not. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Dr. Fairy's cult, I do not have one. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I am not a guru. Right. So in love has won, which I watched, which is on HBO or Max, three parts, 3 hours. It sounds like there's a lot of people who are in general prior to joining are kind of like anti establishment. Some the government isn't working for us anymore, which a lot of people feel that way. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Exactly. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So there's these know, I think sometimes really normal thoughts or feelings somebody could have. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And then it's like the kind of. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Takes that and it's like, oh, yeah. So like we also believe this. And then they kind of continue to pull you in. I think we saw that a little bit with QAnon stuff. It's like some of what I'm sure they had out there is pretty believable. So that kind of draws the person to do more research and then all of a sudden you're in a cold. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. And again, it's like, I feel like it's certain types of people who are going to keep getting sucked in. And the leaders have an uncanny ability to sniff that out and they know who they can manipulate and exploit, right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No, totally. So speaking of that. So Amy Carlson or mother God. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh, mother God. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Or mother Earth or divine mother was a young, I'd say attractive woman who had three husbands and some children who she ended up leaving all for her own kind of spiritual journey. So her mother and sister describe her as being really charismatic. She worked at McDonald's and was kind of immediately, like in a leadership role, she was constantly being promoted. Her team loved her. She had this way with people. During that time, she was with a partner, and she had several children, et cetera. So then she starts to kind of join these online chat groups, which I feel like is a pretty common start to the depths of the Internet. So she started with spiritual singles, and she ended up meeting this man who was much, much older than her, or at least he appears much older than her on lightworkers.org. So they were, like, messaging back and forth. It's basically just people who are, I would imagine, interested in spirituality, and you can chat with each other about the divine and mutually interesting things. So she meets Amorith White Eagle, and she ends up meeting him. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: What's that name again? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So it's amorous white eagle. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Is this person, like, indigenous? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. Okay, so this all kind of then takes place in the Pacific Northwest, it appears Colorado, Oregon, kind of back and forth. So she meets him. They end up getting married. I'm not sure if it's a legal marriage or they just have a ceremony, and they start putting their message out online. So they're interviewing him. He appears, I don't know, like, 70, and she's, like, 30. But funnily, that is. She, though, seems like she's running the show still. So he's very peace and love, and he's kind of going along with whatever she's saying. So she wants to put more on social media. He's like, okay. And then she ends up leaving him eventually, I think, like, after a year, to kind of start an organization with people that she also met online who are then more close in age to her. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Did she use his money or something? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No, it seemed kind of like they lived in nature. He didn't really have much. He seems like this is an opinion, like, sweet. Like, just like a hippie. Like, living on the land. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: New ag. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Okay. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And so she then he, like, compost. Yeah, totally compost. She takes that and runs with. She gets. She meets this guy who she, um. So this is a big kind of part of her. So she heals him of cancer. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: They always are healing people of cancer. Jeff and Shalia said they could do that, too, by the way. And they also call themselves the divine father and the divine mother. And they went through ivf to have a daughter who's the defined daughter, and I worry for her. But sidebar. Anyone who's calling themselves divine father or mother, run away. Run away. Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And that always seems to be a theme of healing people. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So he comes to live with her, works with her, and then there's this other person who comes in who then becomes, like, the second father God, who he appears to not be in the cult anymore as he's being interviewed for the show. So he kind of has, like, a different stance than everyone else who is interviewed who appear to still really believe some of her messages. So this is not even the crux of the story. So she gathers these group of people who they talk about have pretty significant trauma histories, and then these beliefs come out where. So they believe that they are being led by, like, Robert Williams, St. Germain. Most of these people who are deceased, there's only one living person who is Donald Trump. So they have this board with all of their pictures, and she's constantly getting messages from Robin Williams and has been. So she's God who's billions of years old. She has been Marilyn Monroe, she has been Cleopatra. She's been all of these kind of famous women throughout history who've done different things. So I was like, you're Marilyn Monroe and you're like Joan of. Oh, okay. They're just different. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like reincarnation or something. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Only for her, it's not. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Ultimate exception. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, so Robin Williams is telling know, I'm kind of skipping some things, but basically that she needs to be at a really low weight to be picked up by the starships. So she starts restricting her food intake, which is just interesting because that's what I do in my private practice. I was like, oh, here we go. And to be, like, 103 pounds, she has to be under 103 in order to be picked up. So other people in the group as well start restricting nutrition. The lighter you are, the higher frequencies you can tolerate. So they also believe that marijuana and alcohol are, like, tools of healing if used appropriately, which they do say, which I was like, okay. But apparently her use of alcohol combined with her food restriction seems to lead to her downfall. So she gets really sick, like, pancreatitis. I think her liver is failing, probably. And so she's very small. They go to Hawaii to try to heal her. She gets Kauai. They get literally driven out of Kauai by the people who live there because she is now saying that she is, and I'm not remembering it at the time, but she's like, there this goddess that they believe in, and she's saying that she's that person or that spiritual leader, and they're like, no, you're not. That's really disrespectful. So they leave Kauai go back to Colorado, and she's dying. And meanwhile, this whole time they're trying to save her, and she's ingesting high levels of colonial. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh, just try to heal her. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Quote unquote. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, okay. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And so she ends up passing away. And meanwhile, her family, before this, has put her on Dr. Phil to try to point out that she's a cult. Dr. Phil is involved. It doesn't work. She presents as just, I'm really spiritual and not giving culty vibes at all. Doesn't do anything. Meanwhile, they interview her daughter, who's just sad watching it. She feels abandoned by her mom. So Amy dies, and they are convinced, per her, that she is going to be picked up by the starships. So they have her body at home, or it happens in a hotel, and they are, like, holding up these freak. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: These. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They use them in the ghost stories where you hold up this instrument and, oh, the thing goes crazy. The frequency. So they're, like, holding it up to her dead body. Meanwhile, all of this, they have filmed. They've filmed and written down everything that she's ever done. She sleeps five times. She did this because she's God. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And so they have a dead body. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: With them for a week, like a week or two. They end up leaving the hotel because people are really confused and concerned. They go back to the house in Colorado. The police end up coming. She's modified. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, that's what. Oh, my God. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And it was never taken. And they still kind of were saying that they believe to this day that we are so curious what her autopsy showed. She has three hearts. I'm sure all the medical people were blown away and everyone still believe it. To kind of branch off and do something with spirituality. Again, it was a pretty small cult. There was, like twelve to 20 active members who were living there. Then again, they made over $350,000 that one of the members then stole after she died and took because all of it was in his name. Because there's always a theme of money, greed, power in a cult, in my experience. So I think we saw all of the key themes of a person with a really unique ability to have charisma and charm. It just seems like there's always common themes with cults which we see over and over again. And I think really what I was keeping in mind while watching this documentary is there can be such a fine line between spirituality and just having different beliefs that maybe are not mainstream, and that's okay. But there becomes this little line that gets crossed where there's like abuse and someone taking advantage over someone else. And it's like that, to me, is really the difference between anything you want to believe in or do or how you want to live. But when you're harming others or being harmed, it's like that's when it's not. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Okay. Right. And I think I had a friend recently ask me, how do you tell the difference between someone who's psychotic and someone who is running a cult but not psychotic? So the woman you were just describing to me, Portia, the mother God person, sounds like she may have had elements of both, which is possible, although I would imagine, although I don't know for sure, more rare. But again, I would say people who are cult leaders tend to meet criteria for what we call malignant narcissism. So, again, as we talk about with narcissistic personality disorder, they really elevate themselves into this God role. They believe God is talking to them, but then they also take advantage of other people, whereas I think someone who is just struggling with a psychotic disorder, who may have religious delusions, again, they might also believe that God is talking to them, but then they're not using that to their advantage and exploiting people to make money or for sex or some other kind of secondary gain. So I think that's something important to note. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, no, I would agree. It's so hard. And I think we should, like you said, create some merch. We need, like, a clear checklist to ask yourself to disseminate to everyone. Like, is this a cult or not? Where are the red flags? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Seriously? Seriously. Again, I would say be very wary of anyone calling themselves a guru or using words like that who doesn't have the applicable training or credentials. That even goes, I think, for getting medical advice online, like on Instagram and TikTok, be really cautious and look into what is this person's credentials? Are they really qualified to be telling me these things? Be mindful of how much are they charging? What are you getting from it when they're charging you? And what does your gut tell you? If your gut red flags are going off, you got to listen. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, that's a good one. I like the part about the cost, because things should feel balanced. If you're getting a worksheet or if I'm paying an insurance via insurance for therapy and I'm paying, I don't know, it can be anywhere from 90 to 150, depending on an insurance rate, for an hour. And that person is credentialed. Right. If you take insurance, you have to be a certain quality of practitioner. And so if you're seeing someone who's like a guru or a coach and you're paying privately and they do not have the credentials, and I'm paying maybe $800 for an hour sessions, it's like. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That just feels off. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm not talking about private pay or for someone who does have credentials, but if you can get therapy from a certified, licensed practitioner that generally, sometimes insurance covers, sometimes it doesn't, for around $100, depending where you are and someone, a coach is asking for hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars, that just feels off. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. And that is a theme we've seen, at least in these two documentaries we're talking about today, is the cost of the classes or whatever it is you're buying seems exorbitant. I mean, like at twin Flames University, I read they were charging $4,000. That's crazy. That's really a lot of money. So you really just have to be mindful of what are you getting out of it. And as soon as you start to get a whiff of someone trying to change who you are or someone trying to convince you that they know you better than you know yourself, huge red flag. Run away. If you're feeling devalued around them and they're always putting themselves on a pedestal. Run away. If everyone's fawning over them and the people who bring up a criticism or have a question get ostracized. Run away. Run away. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, that's a good point. That's on the sweatshirt. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Run away. Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So you can find both of these documentaries. One of them, the one Katrina watched, twin flames, is on Netflix. And then the one that I watched, love has won, is on Max, both short kind of docuseries, which I loved that it wasn't 8 hours. Both sad and just the after effects are sad. And cults obviously can be so dangerous and abusive. There's many practitioners out there who specialize with treatment of people who have been in a. If you're. If you have more interest in it, like Katrina is going to link that psychology today article and then know, I think our biggest theme is please reach out. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So in the one I watched, there was a mother who continuously was kind of getting police involvement and calling her daughter and contacting her, and they ended up reuniting at the end. And just as painful as it is, please don't give up. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Don't give up. Don't give up. Yeah, that's a big theme I want to get across, too. And we'll keep covering cults I think moving forward, again, we want to be mindful and be really clear. We're not analyzing any one person in particular. We're just using this media to talk about this phenomenon in more detail because it is so dangerous and so many people are getting hurt by these things. And I would imagine like coming out of COVID with so much more happening, think, you know, it's reaching more people these days, like cults, and all you need know, you can be in a cult of one. It doesn't have to be huge. So that's another thing to keep in mind is these dynamics can play out in smaller communities, smaller relationships, even within families. So we're hoping to try to shed some light on these toxic dynamics so you can protect yourself totally. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Well, thank you for joining us today, and we look forward to catching up with you next time as we cover another movie or tv show.

Stomach acid–blocking proton pump inhibitor drugs—PPIs with brand names like Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Protonix, and AcipHex—appear to significantly increase the risk of bone fractures.
David Whitehead joins Brendan to discuss the hidden networks of globalist power that seek to retain control over the masses from behind the scenes (mostly). Who are the would-be powers ruling the world? What circles do they move in? What are the nexus points between these shadowy networks and visible geopolitical activity and known figureheads? David talks about the esoteric knowledge base held and protected by these "elites" for many years now. This episode touches on the divine right to rule, Black Nobility, royal connections to the occult, child trafficking, Vatican involvement, freemasonry, occult symbolism (like the all-seeing eye), divide and conquer tactics, how old traditions became corrupted over time, the private religions and practices of public figures, John of God, and much more. Special Guest: David Whitehead.
Most doctors ignore the importance that food plays in the development of acid reflux disease (heartburn/GERD), and are quick to prescribe anti acid medications. This approach is flawed. Not only do these medications not fix the origin of the problem, they induce several vitamin and mineral deficiencies. A recent study found that commonly prescribed drugs like Nexium actually contribute to bone loss (major problem for celiac disease patients).

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Monika: I'm (43) diabetic. HbA1c 6.3. How can I get rid of this situation ? Everyday I walk 10,000 steps, Weight training 2 days/week. Eating low carb. But failed. Please help me out. I'm from India. Thank you. Julia: Hi Stephen Cabral Team, My name is Julia and I am a 35 year old woman living and working in Nairobi, Kenya. I am kindly requesting that you respond to my message. In 2021, I was infected with and recovered from the virus. Soon after this I was diagnosed with severe GERD. I think there was a connection. I have had 2 colonoscopies and 3 opinions with no success. All I get is the same prescription of Nexium or Pantocid. Currently only eating boiled food, no spices in an attempt to stop the reflux (base of throat) and nausea. I've spend all my money to get help. I'm not giving up but I am feeling like I'm running out of options. I'm only 35 and this disease has changed my life :(. I hate taking PPIs but after a few days it's the only form of relief. I beg you, kindly, please help me. Cheryl: Hello Dr. Cabral, Do you have a diabetic meal plan protocol similar to the CBO sensitive stomach protocol? Jeffrey: Hello Dr Cabral, one of your IHP2/HPH Students here. I recently learned about a sometimes fatal condition called Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, (SJS/TEN) and how those with a weakened immune system are at higher risk, especially when introduced to new medications like sulfa antibiotics and others for seizures, gout or mental illness. I searched your podcast to learn more and was surprised to find no results, so here I am to ask what you can share about the condition from a root cause and IHP perspective. Thanks. Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. It's really appreciated. Two questions. When you say avoid eating fruit alongside meals, does that also apply to those that are technically fruit but often considered vegetable? Eg. Avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, melongene etc. Question 2: Does one still need to supplement with let's say magnesium if they're consuming a lot of pumpkin & Chía seeds, bananas, veggies daily? Same with vitamin C if I eat a lot of fruit? Thank you.

Dr. Steven Sandberg-Lewis discusses Healing Reflux with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.] Podcast Highlights 2:50 Heartburn. Heartburn is a subjective sensation of burning, usually over the sternum, and it can be intense and sharp. People can even feel like they are having a heart attack. Not all patients who have heartburn have reflux, though the majority do have reflux. Regurgitation is when fluid or food comes up into the throat or mouth and this can be related to reflux. 4:57 Reflux. Reflux can have to do with any fluid going through a tube in the wrong direction. When the contents of the large intestine move from the large intestine to the small intestine instead from the small intestine down to the large intestine, this is called cecoileal reflux or ileocecal reflux. If things move from the small intestine up into the stomach, that's called bile reflux. If things move from the stomach into the esophagus, that's called gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD. There is also GER, which is a normal reflux that occurs say three times after every average meal when some food or fluid from the stomach will move up into the lower esophagus and it doesn't cause symptoms. This is not a disease and considered normal. Reflux doesn't have to cause reflux disease, but it can if it's prolonged or if the esophagus is not able to protect itself with various protective factors. Normally our saliva, which is slightly alkaline and which is being swallowed every minute and helps to neutralize any acid that comes up. There are secondary contractions that contract the lower esophagus to move things down. There's also mucus production that coats the mucosal membrane of the esophagus. If these mechanisms fail, then you can get Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Therefore it is important to naturally bolster the protective factors in the esophagus. 7:32 What causes reflux? For one thing, while it is often called acid reflux most patients do not start out having too much acid production. In fact, many of them have too little stomach acid production. But after being on proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec, AcipHex, Prevacid, Protonix, and Nexium for a while, if they stop them even for short period of time to get the Heidelberg test that Dr. SS-L often performs, they will often get a rebound hypersecretion of acid, which makes it difficult to accurately test their acid levels in their stomach. While the proton pump inhibitor is preventing the parietal cells in the stomach from making acid, the body keeps secreting more and more gastrin to stimulate those parietal cells to make acid. 10:25 The major causes of GERD include a sliding hiatal hernia. This is when the upper 2-3 cm of the stomach slides up through the diaphragm that engages the lower esophageal sphincter that normally protects from reflux. When the stomach moves up, you lose a lot of that anti-reflux muscle function. Another reason is people who overeat or who eat rapidly will more likely have reflux. When you eat too quickly, you don't get the signal to your brain that you're full. Overeating or anything that causes distension of the stomach, such as gas, will lead the lower esophageal sphincter to relax and stay open for up to 20 seconds. This is why SIBO can be a trigger for reflux. Food sensitivities can also lead to reflux. Atrophic gastritis, those who don't make enough stomach acid, can lead to heartburn symptoms. 18:25 H. Pylori is generally protective against reflux. H. pylori is a bacteria in the stomach that is a major cause of ulcers and many feel that it is a cause of reflux. While H. pylori can cause a type of lymphoma in the stomach called MALToma and it can cause gastritis and it can increase the risk of stomach cancer. H.
Northwestern Medicine Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kevin Most joins the Steve Cochran Show to discuss a new smoking cessation drug that may be hitting the market soon, over-the-counter birth control that may be available as soon as 2024, and the potential long-term health implications associated with Ozempic usage. Dr. Kevin Most's Show Notes: Over-the-counter oral contraceptive pill FDA approved. On Thursday the FDA approved the first OTC birth control pill. Drastic change? There are 100 other countries that already have this in place, so we are lagging not cutting edge The drug named Opill has been safely used for years across the world The medication is expected to be available in January and will not have an age restriction Will be interesting to see the pricing and if insurance companies will cover the cost. The medication is sometimes called a “mini pill” it has progestin, it suppresses ovulation The FDA voted unanimously that the benefits outweigh the risks There is obviously the political as well as religious concerns It is not uncommon for a drug to go from prescription to OTC (Aleve, Nexium, Pepcid, Zyrtec) Drug for smoking cessation does well in clinical trial Smoking cessation has always been a difficult thing to accomplish Many things have been tried- nicotine patch, nicotine gum, antidepressants, acupuncture, hypnosis- most with little or no success Currently a Phase 3 study on a drug historically known as Cytisine being done at Mass General Results out in JAMA recently are very positive- effective and well tolerated Cytisine is a natural plant based compound that binds to the nicotine receptors in the brain that slow the urge to smoke This is better than the slow decline in nicotine replacement This was done at 17 sites with over 800 participants with the end goal being total stopping of smoking for a 4 week period Individuals in the trial noted a rapid and sustained decline in the craving and smoking urges in the first month Over the long term it continued to show great success at the 6 month mark Well tolerated with low rates of side effects Drug information- Drugs have a patent life where no generics can be made and a company has the exclusive rights to produce and sell the drug The patent life for a drug is 20 years from the date the patent was submitted, however there are extensions for antibiotics, some pediatric drugs, orphan drugs The patent does not mean that a company has 20 years of sales without a competitor as some of these drugs will take 10-15 years to go thru the trails necessary for approval There are 51 drugs coming off patent in 2023 including billion dollar drugs used to treat diabetes, depression, arthritis, ADHD If you are taking a brand name drug and want to see when it will come off patent Pharsight is a great resource Drug shortages- safety lapses- razor thin margins- tough competition Drug shortages in the US are at the highest level in 9 years Medications currently in short supply include Chemotherapy drugs, ADHD drugs and antibiotics Drug shortages are not where a drug is out 100% it is where the current supply exceeds the current need Chemotherapy shortages are the most detrimental as patients are on specific medications with specific dosing and alternates are not easy to find if even possible Chemotherapy in those cases is delayed, or lower doses are given Currently close to 2 dozen chemotherapy drugs and in shortage status Why is it occurring? Multi factorial – a factory in India, Intas Pharmaceuticals , that made about one half of Chemo used in the US, had quality issues and was shut down by the FDA last December, other companies did not step up and fill that void This has forced the FDA to allow for some chemo drugs to be imported from China Information on demand is not easy to get as drug companies often want to keep that private to minimize competition 90% of prescriptions are for generic medications- the goal is to keep prices down- encourage sufficient supplies – ensure the meds are safe and effective in generic format Those 3 goals are difficult to hit all at once the 3 pull at each other. Margin on generic drugs is small as companies had a race to the bottom as they tried to gain market share. Continuing to lower the price to knock out competitor but also shrinking margins Covid, inflation and work force shortages have impacted many generic drug manufacturers No perfect solution Medicare to finally negotiate pricing on medications- good or bad? We are all waiting to see the list of drugs that federal officials will target as they pen negotiations on pricing later this year. The new law, part of the Inflation Reduction Act, allowing for Medicare to negotiate on drug prices goes into effect in September of this year For the past 30 years this negotiation was not allowed by law The first round will focus on 10 drugs that are selected for being the most expensive with high use. The list is not yet decided on but a few expected include Embrel- for arthritis, Xarelto- a blood thinner, Januvia- a diabetes medication The price difference in different companies is ridiculous. An example- Xarelto the blood thinner, in the US a years prescription costs $6,240. While in Canada it cost just above $1,000 Now, don't expect any quick changes, the negotiations are scheduled for 2024 and 2025, with the negotiated price change going into effect Jan 1, 2026, however one drug has been impacted with Insulin having a $35 / month cap for Medicare patients that is now in effect.

When the mainstream or alternative media promotes products it is due to their financial ties to a particular company. When they promote ideology it is due to their political dogma. There is a kernel truth in mainstream media just as there is a kernel of deception in the alternative media. These kernels of fact and fiction can also be placed in opposing media outlets or various forms of entertainment. We are not always being sold a product; more often than not it is an idea, one which empowers us to fight for or against the transient issue(s) of the day. This is the monetizing and politicizing of revolution, resistance, and perception. While the mainstream media negatively promotes movies like Sound of Freedom the alternative media sees it as a duty to defend the film. When the same mainstream media attacks anything negatively they also know that their opposition will support it in greater numbers. Few stop to ask why CNN may be promoting the movie by attacking it? Perhaps it is because CNN says it is about drinking the blood of children, an outrageous claim which takes attention away from the issue of child trafficking, forced labor, and sex slavery. Epstein, the Finders cult, DC Madam, Franklin Coverup, and Nexium, all used black mail to the benefit of intelligence agencies, and so it is no surprise to find the intelligence-backed media making these disorganized claims. It also allows the every side of the media to paint their opposition as crazy and position themselves as storehouses of the one and only truth.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
A recent IOM-UN report with Harvard found that about half of all children trafficked are little boys for slave labor and about 20% are little girls for sex. The remaining 30% is a general mystery. The report found that age, gender, nationality, and the like, played no role. Tens of thousands of others in the report were adults, trafficked for similar reasons. Although movies like Sound of Freedom are topping the box office, there is no indication that the public's interest is anything more than entertainment. The same is true for radio and podcasts that pay lip service to the subject for clicks and views, usually by mentioning pizza conspiracies and certain letters of the alphabet. It's the conservative way of virtue signaling. Likewise, neither conservatives or liberals want to touch the Epstein or Nxivm stories unless they can project guilt on their opponents. After being sentenced to decades in prison for conspiring with Jefferey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell somehow had her prison time reduced and is continuing to serve the limited remaining time at a Florida resort. Allison Mack who conspired with Keith Raniere and helped run the Nxivm sex cult, likewise had her three year sentenced reduced and is as of July 3 out of prison. Meanwhile, Epstein is dead and Raniere was sentenced to more than 100 years behind bars. So much for patriarchy: Nxivm was advertised as a self-help group but internally was run by a group of women ‘masters' recruiting other women as ‘slaves', some of whom were literally branded with the initials of Keith and Allison. In fact, Allison is the one who came up with the idea! The group was even financed by two women, Clare and Sara Bronfman, heiresses to the Seagram alcohol fortune. So where are the activists and media to drone on about masters, slaves, women's rights, equality, etc? In fact, Allison was given such a small sentence simply because it was assumed that she was also a victim despite her own initials being branded into other women. An innocent plain looking girl could never do such a thing, just like a frail old president could never touch or kiss little kids inappropriately. This is the problem: giving people the emotional benefit of the doubt because of their looks, age, race, etc., when some of the most horrific monsters look exactly like a plain little woman and a frail old man. By trying to be civil, fair, and just in all cases whatsoever to the extreme, we are cultivating and coddling corruption of the innocent.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
*This episode was first published February 5th 2022.*Sarah and Nippy were in the NXIVM (said Nexium) cult for 12 and 16 years respectively. In early 2017, Sarah was invited into a secret women's sect of the cult called DOS. She was asked to strip naked, was blindfolded and led into a room with several other women. She was then instructed to repeat the words "Master, would you brand me? It would be an honour" and she was branded with the cult leaders initials. It wasn't long after, that Sarah and Nippy along with a small band of close friends, blew the whistle and alerted the media and authorities about the crimes of Keith Raniere. He ended up being sentenced to 120 years in prison for sex trafficking and racketeering charges, among others.In this episode, I spoke to Sarah and Nippy about their experiences within the cult, how they got out and how they have begun their healing process to regain their lives and families. They now have a podcast called A Little Bit Culty, where they speak to cult experts, whistleblowers and other cult survivors.If you or someone you love are in a high control group otherwise known as a cult, check out the links below for resources that will be helpful to you.

Episode 23:12 Why You Should Stop Taking Drugs For Reflux And Heartburn… And What To Do Instead Every day millions of Americans take a PPI drug - such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium - to help them deal with acid reflux (GERD), heartburn, chest pain and/or difficulty swallowing. Unfortunately many of these individuals ignore the warnings associated with these drugs... the warning informing them that they are not intended to be taken for more than two weeks at a time. As a result, they are putting themselves at risk for some serious side-effects such as kidney disease, broken bones and dementia. This has to stop… but how? That is, what can a person do to avoid taking these drugs? More importantly, what can a person do NATURALLY to help their digestive system improve to the point that they don't need a PPI drug? On this episode we lay out an exact plan. Specifically, we share four tactics anyone can employ to improve their digestion. In addition, we do something very few doctors will do: We discuss HOW a person develops acid reflux (GERD) and heartburn so they can better understand how to correct it. We also provide three very important questions a person should ask their doctor BEFORE ever taking a PPI drug. Please give this episode a good listen as you won't hear this information anywhere else.

Perception and knowledge is hard earned in times so immersed in evil. The truth comes from brave scouts and those smart enough to listen. Saved within the walls of Jericho. Just facing up to reality makes a chosen one these days. It's All About Time, the full length documentary. Nexium, Epstein, his island, Stone, the bull's head, witnesses, fixers and crimes. The best view is always found at 40k feet. There's no tangible currency like prayer. Where is AI in all this? Lip reading and face recognizing eyes in the sky. Friendly hint, always take your time when responding. Keyhole data and compilation power needed. Info entropy is how much drops thru the cracks. Go ahead and pretend everything is true. Still, everyone eventually tells you who they really are. Thanks for setting an in-kind precedent. We know about the money. Did those fifty really think they weren't recorded? Broken Anthem closing. The wicked fortress walls are crumbling. Lets all pray for those righteous enough to be in the fight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Keith Raniere Perhaps you heard about the NXIVM (pronounced Nexium) scandal when the police tracked down and arrested the cult leader, Keith Raniere, in Mexico. Soon, tales of sex trafficking, branding, and child pornography painted Raniere as an evil man. Like me, you probably shook your head and wondered how anyone could get drawn into a cult. From the outside looking in, cults always seem crazy. I didn't pay much attention to the news about NXIVM. I didn't want to read about more evil in our world. Then, a friend sent me a news story about an Alaska woman who disappeared after attending a NXIVM Executive Success Program class in Anchorage. When Kristin Snyder repeatedly blurted out that she was pregnant with Keith Raniere's child, NXIVM officials dragged her out of the class, and she was never seen again. I suddenly wanted to know what happened to Kristin, more about NXIVM, and why successful, intelligent women flocked to Raniere to be close to him. Raniere is an average-looking man who denigrates women and believes their purpose is to serve him. This is the story about NXIVM and the disappearance of Kristin Snyder.

Do you have acid reflux, or the more severe form known as gastroesophagealreflux disease? (GERD) This is one of the most common digestive conditionstreated by gastroenterologists and primary care doctors.The most commonly prescribed drugs for GERD are proton pump inhibitors(PPIs). PPIs currently available on prescription in the USA are: dexlansoprazole(Dexilant), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole(Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), and rabeprazole (Aciphex).These drugs suppress stomach acid secretion. They can be effective inreducing GERD but they are not recommended for long term use. The most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Can we talk about how ethical lines get crossed in coaching? The last 90 days or so I've taken some time to really examine my own dance in this industry that gets a lot of flack, and for good reason, for not being one that is the most ethical. Whether that is the mistreatment of the title, COACH, and how this is a career path that is not regulated enough or at all. Beyond that how does that translate to the public at large who have been finding themselves in a space of looking for answers or transformation through the help of a coach. Cult-y much? No, not me: One easy place where we can see immediate evidence of crossing ethical lines, is in CULTS. Specifically, one that I really had a strong reaction to, called NXIVM (pronounced Nexium). I talk about seeing the docuseries on HBO named THE VOW. This cult was designed as a self improvement, "life your best life", cult. Well, that is coaching. When watching this series often I found myself SCREAMING at the TV with my husband sitting beside me on the couch. It doubled with the second season. The documentary displayed how easy it can be, as a coach, to abuse your leverage on a client. It is an awful example but powerful. And you can also see how easy it is for someone who is looking to improve their lives could get caught up in it. One thing that came up in one episode was someone in a public place saying, "I would never get caught up in a cult." Quickly one of the defectors who heard this said, "You would be surprised how easy it is." Cult-like thinking runs rampid in our culture. We think its the weak and simple-minded who are prone to be taken advantage of but it is not so. It is those who are seeking for change who are the ones that most often are targeted. Because cults need money and so, it is usually highly intellectual people who get drawn in. With that in mind, take a look at a few podcasts I mention to hear more about the cult culture and about this specific one: NXIVM. The dark side of coaching: This segment I express my own troubles as being a coach in an unregulated industry and personal experiences with harassment and gaslighting when a very specific incident occurred. What this experience has shown me is that it's part of a truth that I did not wish to acknowledge for myself or to others. In whatever way we see it. Whether that is how coaches treat their clients and/or how we still have work to do in the arena of victimization in all industries of work. Specifically here in coaching. This story highlights how I was bypassing something important. Something that could not and would not be ignored. Finding peace in it: Being a Truth seeker my whole life I didn't realize this fundamental thing about the Truth that it isn't always wrapped up in nice packages and that it is never one side or the other...it's BOTH, the dark and the light! I may not like the dark side (of anything really) but ignoring it doesn't mean it goes away or make it any less part of the truth. Are you a coach or healer? How have you reconciled with this in your work? *A Little Bit Culty by husband and wife, Sarah Edmondson & Anthony Ames who left Nxivm. Their experience and that of others going through similar experiences are told on this podcast. Another great podcast on this subject is Cultish by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant. They explore all kinds of cults and all the impacts they have on society. #cults #coaching #darksideofcoaching #NXIVM #HBOMAX-TheVOW #ICF #codeofethics #certifiedcoaching --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/guided-intuitive-em/message

The Perfect Stool Understanding and Healing the Gut Microbiome
Around 20% of people in the Western world are afflicted by GERD or acid reflux. The go-to prescription in most of these cases are PPIs or proton pump inhibitors, one of the most prescribed medications in all of health care. The drawbacks of long-term PPI use are many and their use fails to address the root cause of GERD and other GI issues for which they're prescribed.

The incidence of catfishing, also known as romance scamming, has dramatically increased over the course of the pandemic. The FBI stated that there were over one billion dollars lost in romance scams last year, and reports of romance fraud reported to the Federal Trade Commission rose a whopping 80%. With scams on the rise, it's more important than ever to protect yourself— and to know how to recover financially if you do fall victim to a scam. In Money Rehab episodes 329 and 330, Nicole talks to Rebecca, who lost over $100,000 in a romance scam. Rebecca shares the mechanics of her scam, and the financial and emotional toll.

Sarah Edmonson and Anthony “Nippy” Ames were doing okay in life. They were healthy, they were working, and, like a lot of people, they were looking for more success. So when they were introduced to some self-help courses called the Executive Success Program, they gave it a shot. When it seemed to be working pretty well, naturally, they stuck with it.The group they ended up in, pronounced “nexium” but spelled in unpronounceable capital letters, manipulated that desire for success and happiness, eventually consuming the time, money, and lives of the people who joined. Members were made to follow the charismatic leader, Keith Raniere, as though he were a divine figure. You could move up in rank and wear special symbolic sashes. Many members were encouraged to move to Albany to live together and be near Raniere.From the introduction to this episode:“I've always been fascinated by the mental health aspect of cult membership. How was someone doing, psychologically, before they joined up? What happened to their mind during their time with the cult. And how their mental health was after being in a group like that. I think it's comforting to think, well, I could never be sucked into something like that, I'm too smart and aware. But I think a lot of us feel psychologically incomplete at times. Adrift. In some form of peril. I know I do. And if someone charismatic comes along, welcomes you, seems to be able to help, how can you not listen?”Sarah's resources can be found at SarahEdmondson.com/Resources.

On this episode, I discuss esomeprazole (Nexium) pharmacology, adverse effects, tapering, kinetics, and drug interactions. I spend a good amount of time discussing the esomeprazole and clopidogrel interaction in this podcast episode. Esomeprazole inhibits CYP2C19. This can cause an increase in citalopram concentrations and raise the potential for QTc prolongation. It is critical to reassess the length of therapy and the dose of PPIs like esomeprazole.
Trigger Warning: please be advised there is detailed discussion about assault and abuse of minors. What does a parent do when they feel like their child is in danger and is looking for help? They jump on the internet and start clicking. What they might find is a bunch of info about places all over the country they can send their kid to for rehabilitation and family unification. Sounds great, right? What they might not know, though, is that these places are unlicensed, unregulated, off the oversight grid and very often abusive. In fact, influencer Paris Hilton went before the Utah state congress last year to share her traumatic experience at The Provo Canyon School. She and other survivors, including our guest, have continued the campaign for reform of “The Troubled Teen Industry” at the federal level. Ali's guest Caroline Cole is the host of Trapped in Treatment, executive produced by Paris Hilton, and shares her own experience at one of these facilities as well as where the fight for regulation is now, including The Accountability for Congregate Care Act.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Laura: Hi! I am such a huge fan of the podcast and it has really made a huge impact on my life. I recently completed the dosha test and found out that I'm Vata: 55 Pitta: 32 Kapha: 13. It took me by surprise because I have always thought that I'm a Vata-Kapha. So considering my constitution, I was wondering if I should just follow a tridoshic diet because most vata foods aggravate my kapha and i end up gaining weight and also my pitta resulting in inflammation. The only issue is I tend to have vitamin and mineral deficiencies so things like eggs and nuts and seeds help out with that. How can I get the nutrients I need through whole food without aggravating my secondary doshas? Also, I seem to gain more weight in my upper body(arms, waist, back, chest) but not my lower body. I have tried resistance training with emphasis on the lower body but I can never seem to gain any weight there. And when I lose weight, my pitta shoulders are very clearly broader than my lower body. It is like my upper body is all pitta and kapha and my lower body is all vata. I want to gain more weight in my lower body to achieve a bit more balance. How can I get my body to be more symmetrical. through exercise or diet ? ps: I am a 25 year old female Becky: Thank you so much for what you. It is truly amazing. I just listened to the episode on "How Your Habits Form Your Future" and I loved it. I'm an IHP L2 Vata mid twenties. You spoke about the importance of cardio and how it benefits your HRV. I do strength training 4x a week and 10k steps daily. I don't really have time to add more cardio on top and I don't want to lose weight. I'm already 90% vegan with the occasional wild salmon so this makes me very prone to catabolism. I take DNS, mag, balanced zinc, omega 3, vitamin d, C, etc. I do however track my HRV with my Oura ring and would love to improve it (currently around 60) so I'm happy to compromise and add cardio if that will improve my HRV. What are your thoughts? Should I perhaps replace my 10k steps with some cardio? And how long should cardio be? Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for answering my question. My partner is in his early 40's, healthy but doesn't exercise much. The past couple of years he started having quite bad anxiety. When anxiety attacks happen, it takes over his whole body and he can't sleep. This will usually last 1-2days, the following 2 days the anxiety goes away, he feels extremely tired, nauseous, hyperactive, hiccups a lot, generally has unsettled stomach and disturbed sleep. He started seeing a therapist and is seeing some progress. However is there anything else we could do to support his body better from a nutritional/medicinal point of view? We tried magnesium for better sleep but he gets upset stomach even with smaller doses. We tried adrenal soothe it didn't seem to work either in terms of keeping him calm (although he didn't take it regularly). Really appreciate your advice! Lisa Terry: I have recently started your 21 day detox. My question is I also take Nexium for acid reflex. What is your advice for weaning myself off of this over the counter medication to start. Amy: I'm a L2 IHP and I'm a little bit confused when it comes to tackling fasting with hyperthyroid clients. If someone is overweight but has low thyroid should they do the 2 days of fasting in the detox? I would assume yes but then isn't fasting detrimental for the thyroid? What about long-term? They are obviously working on the thyroid but should they do 14-16h fasts overnight? And should they workout before or after breakfast? The answer would be yes to someone on a weight loss plan but I think the answer would be no if someone has a low thyroid? Please help with those 3 questions!

Sarah and Nippy were in the NXIVM (said Nexium) cult for 12 and 16 years respectively. In early 2017, Sarah was invited into a secret women's sect of the cult called DOS. She was asked to strip naked, was blindfolded and led into a room with several other women. She was then instructed to repeat the words "Master, would you brand me? It would be an honour" and she was branded with the cult leaders initials. It wasn't long after, that Sarah and Nippy along with a small band of close friends, blew the whistle and alerted the media and authorities about the crimes of Keith Raniere. He ended up being sentenced to 120 years in prison for sex trafficking and racketeering charges among others. In this episode, I spoke to Sarah and Nippy about their experiences within the cult, how they got out and how they have begun their healing process to regain their lives and families. They now have a podcast in its 3rd season called A Little Bit Culty, where they speak to cult experts, whistleblowers and other cult survivors. If you or someone you love are in a high control group otherwise known as a cult, check out the links below for resources that will be helpful to you. Otherwise check out the docuseries, The Vow, on HBO (or Foxtel and Binge in Australia) or check out Sarah's book, Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, The Cult That Bound My Life.

Sub stack with the podcast companion that's all I got so the first video that were in a jump into today is going to be a Boris Johnson the Prime Minister talking about the newest update on the covert restrictions and I find it to be if if you know the history of the United States I hope you do at least that to a certain sense Howell puzzling alarming this is and how all of our founding fathers must be just absolutely rolling over in their graves are now realizing what has happened to this nation so let's go ahead and watch that together so this morning the company concluded that because of extremely bruised the company together with the way the public responded to the plan B measures we can return to plan a in England and alive Plan B regulations to expire bad as a result from the start of Thursday next week monitoring certification will end bad relations kind of pools choose to use the NHS could be possible momentarily but we will end the compulsory use of pregnancy justification in an from no government is no longer asking people what from home and speak to their employers about arrangements returning to the office and having looked at the to Leave the cabinet concluded the once regulations lapse the government will no longer mandate wearing thanks mom and dad is Mrs. Baker from tomorrow from tomorrow we will no longer reply please multiply both rooms in the development risk is usually removed regardless on the use committal errors in the country at large who continues to suggest use of face coverings and include the product places the tickly when you come into contact with people you don't normally meet we will trust the judgment liberties and bad for the lies anyone who chooses the Weber the government rule so ease restrictions on visits to Canada my micro movement is interested social Set up plans in coming this wow that sounds like a party I want to be there that you compared to what were about to watch with Biden talking that seemed they were all hike the only sound like they had some beers before they went home for home but you know every every seal time is unlike the real reason the glass when he gave a new restriction that was relieved and those are like people who are a part of the of their you know government system so that's pretty funny how they were just reacting but you heard it is there that you know England is now going away from any mass mandates are going away from any mandatory vaccination you know showing your vaccine card to be able to work throwing away from working from home the going away from you school restrictions or mandates for children anything at all that they're going away from all these things into me that that the part of that that's so alarming when you know you will you think about the I states that sound it feels like we you know that a country forever right it feels like the world has never existed without the America has had especially with the way that you know Western culture is influence the world but this is the case with the world of fear where we are one of the fairly as newest countries in the world write what were what 300 years old or so right in 1776 2022 we don't do the math where a very new country and into see that you know within several of you know several hundred years few hundred years not even several right we completely lost away right we are now you know that that that we are what we so feared right we are our government now has become one that is more totalitarian than the one that hundreds of thousands if not millions of people from all over the world fleet from fleeing from you know that the The Queens monarchy and the totalitarian ways that they had it in the UK and in Great Britain and you know the area so it's crazy to me and into think about what what what our founding fathers think what what would they think right now they were real George Washington's rose up from the dead and you know was sitting here watching the discussion of Joe Biden talking about other than a key keep restrictions and how you need 1/3 booster and you know all of these restrictions are remaining in place and yet England the Queen of England and parliament and in this prime minister decided to completely relieve their citizens of any you know of their totalitarian you know decisions for them I couldn't I can imagine what they would think I absolutely cannot fathom how they would feel knowing that while you know that today's Great Britain is is completely mandate free United States still is imposing vaccine mandates for healthcare workers which is a whole another conversation that we really should get into the fact that that's you know that that the healthcare workers that that the individuals that that the single sector of the country who is educated specifically on making medical decisions is no longer able to make medical decisions not only you know further patients but but specifically for themselves for their own medical decisions for the for their body and I know a lot of people were affected by this you know nurses doctors and surgeons there's a will that is so many people who are who are going to affect this and in and truly with us to come down to you know talking about the chain of events that connect happen with this in a come down to us is healthcare workers no longer being employee who hold that belief to be true and in art manipulated bolt based on your finances or or job position there can if they're not at work for the hospital settings and in order to have a shortage of 11 if talking there and there to complain about that shortage in an opinion on the people were unvaccinated will know it was because your dumb ass decided to let people who are vaccinated and covert positive still work but you won't even let the people who had covert and have immunity and have antibodies you are unvaccinated not work who aren't sick it it actually makes no sense so crazy to me the fact that were sitting here watching you know the Prime Minister Boris Johnson talk about their done with any mandates done with any restrictions and you on that same day are president of the United States right now is sitting in front of a group of reporters and saying how you know you need to get boosted right it it's crazy so let's go ahead and will dive into that conversational quick let's go ahead and him and watch some of the videos of the Biden you know kind of compare and contrast you know that party in the pub with Boris Johnson to what were going to see here with Biden because it is kind of a stark difference and when we go into these you know this these questions and answers with Joe Biden it is truly you know it's it's it's all concerning to me is no other way to put it so concerning to me that somebody will with that what little mental capacity and capabilities of this man has left to even finish a sentence let alone make world changing decisions in a time of were more on the cusp of of potential war between Russia and Ukraine and the effects of this can have on NATO and the effect this can I have on the United States and you know the fact that this man is in power mid in the IBCs nonpower righties be manipulated in and he couldn't you know it if you didn't have these cue cards in front of a maneuver to see that on his video you're in a see if everything the time he has a list of people that he supposed to call on for questions in the he obviously it probably is a probably because he Artie has it in front of him and you can tell is looking at this piece of paper to answer these questions so but what you know what's jumping to well at present Biden on the coronavirus we are tragically approaching nearly 1 million Americans who died and I'd like to ask you why it is during your three and half hour virtual summit in November with the Chinese president he didn't press for transparency and also whether that has anything to do with your sons involvement in an investment firm controlled by Chinese state owned entities the answer is that we did did reach the question of transparency I spent a lot of time with she the fact is that they're just not just not being transparent transparency on the coronavirus origins yes so Biden just said no that the original question asked by this guy wasn't in fact a soft focus towards the end we didn't wasn't calling specific young people they were kind of taken a Mike but he said to him you know why why did you not push for transparency and he wasn't very specific in the initial question obviously but that's why he elaborated mid response by Joe Biden to make sure that he is sure that he wants to answer this question this way so what this reporter said was why did you not push for transparency regarding the origins of coven 19 and does it have to do with the fact that your son is taking millions of dollars from Chinese corporations which are directly attracted attached to the Chinese communist party why did you push for transparency regarding this leaking from a lab is what he just asked is it because your son is taking millions of dollars from this countries government and he says I did push for transparency and then will wash this year and he and he asked him again right hey can you clarify I mean on coalbed the origins and he says yes I asked for transparency and they didn't give it to us so even Joe Biden and as he just showed in the way that he answer this question Joe Biden the president of the United States is now admitted to questioning the origins of coven 19 and believes enough to ask China Chinese officials if it came from a lab in Wuhan is what he just admitted to all while every a single person is still being censored for talking about this on social media all while you know people within Senate and Congress are being ridiculed for even mentioning the idea of a coming from a lab fee all while media outlets are key-wording you know pod casters injured Joe Rogan's and in imminent sub stack writers and who are talking about these things honestly are the president of the states just said that he believes it enough to ask the leader of the Chinese communist party whether or not it leaked from the lab and he said they won't give us transparency and then says not should about Hunter Biden obviously but let's let's watch it through transparency on the coronavirus origins yes and you did do have virtual summit is the reason your press staff was unaware of that and what did you say to the Chinese president and they weren't with me the entire time look I made it clear I thought that China had an obligation to be more forthcoming exactly what the source of the virus was in working yes so there's a full answer he just admitted to specifically questioning the Chinese Communist Party regarding the origins of covert 19 now where do we go from here what is that mean for all of the censorship all of the narrative enforcers all of the fact checkers that have come in and say that this is a unfounded conspiracy theory right are we going to fact check those people do they have to tell the truth down to they have to redact that information and correct your information say hey the president of EI states actually looking at this seriously maybe we should two or were they also look at the whole time and because their narrative has broke down so much and because of those military documents that were released by project Veritas recently have they had the step back and say yes we are investigating this and were investigating a very seriously because you know when you guys said it you know it must've been wrong but until we say it's truth is not truth that's why you can't do those things in Avon still doubt in people sold much by doing that right that you know the media companies that have me know that that the fact checkers the narrative enforcers have have lost the people they've lost the people over pushing these narratives that they knew the entire time were incorrect or factually incorrect and then beat you with you no censorship stick if you said shut about it where do we go from here write what is this me and if he gets the coal it in a product in a in a and in front of reporters of every single media outlet every single media major media outlet that's allowed to be in their right is in their and he's answering this question talking about the origins of covert 19 this should be everywhere and I guarantee you this from what I saw this is not a specific question that everybody was raising answer questions about so far and then maybe they will and hopefully that will but I haven't seen this clip anywhere you I seen a few clips, I had to watch this entire thing an hour and 10 minutes this is an hour and 10 minutes and and 30 you know 34 seconds now is the end of it but I'm B was on minute he was answering a question so you want to watch the whole thing but none of this information is anywhere and nobody's mention the fact that the president of the United States just admitted to questioning the Chinese communist party regarding the origins of covert 19 that coming from a lab in Wuhan but if I put this spoke about Instagram tomorrow or wherever tomorrow you know that is can I get no views to them to get shadow band for even using those words right even still today after a present address the situation in front of all of the major media companies but you can't talk about right you're not allowed to say those words right you're not allowed to question her narrative it's unbelievable so the Nexium wanted to show you here is a little bit of a Freudian slip I think with Biden IIII do think that there was a little bit more to what the statement is him him will talk about what it could been here so so watch this clip and in and see if you see what I see let's let's look at 12 if you don't mind you counted the number of Americans who are now fully vaccinated with two shots but some of your own medical advisor say if people aren't fully protected unless they had that third shot a booster why hasn't this White House changed the definition of fully vaccinated to include that third booster shot is it because the numbers of fully vaccinated Americans would suddenly look a lot less know that all is this this this this is because this is become clear clear and every time I speak of I say if you've been vaccinated get your booster shot everybody get the booster shot it's the envelope the optimum protection you could have protected very well with two shots if the supplies are anyway protected did you see it to see what he just said there was a parent a parenting of the interview with the Pfizer CEOs directly who said if you have two shots you have virtually no immunity but if you have three shots you you got a good chance and that's why he said Pfizer there make no mistake about it this man just did that this man being the president of the art students just had a Freudian slip a subconscious slip from him at some point seeing that clip Joe Biden at some point saw the president the CEO of Pfizer talking about how two shots makes you not very immune and in three shots that booster really does it for you but then he backtracks on it that's why he is soon as he said Pfizer he realizes that he messes up and he immediately starts to backtrack because you know in and in the you have to kind of you know understand that what he is going on in his brain is not generally what going on to me and yours is not this continual train of thought and all this that you hear from him is him you know this the same way that you know I forget the name of word and you know somebody has to interject and tell it to me because I'm you know have a you know a brain far this man's entire life is a brain for everything that comes out of his mouth he has no idea what he's gonna say next that's why you see there was there were some slip-ups between his is conversation about Russia there were some slip-ups about his conversation regarding obviously in this case the Pfizer and the boosters and I truly do believe I truly do believe that Joe Biden saw the clip saw the clip of the CEO of Pfizer stating that two vaccines were are now ineffective and that there is a need for 1/3 for any effectiveness because the Pfizer CEO said the rubric gives it very little protection if if any at all about two vaccines but three vaccines that booster is really going to get you there although what we found out now is the third vaccine the boost that the boost as they're calling it which is the stupidest marketing ploy in the in history the boost it really gives you immunity right now that this one until it doesn't and then we cavalrymen have another one for you and you better take that one to routes are not fully vaccinated and in now year you're on the team of the conspiracy theorists so let's look at that again the number and actually watch that Pfizer quit because I think this is important I are truly 100% believe that you know kind of breaking down the way that this man's monkey brain is working over there or not lack there of working with it what he just did was reference that video with the Pfizer CEO and you'll see why in a second if you haven't seen the video ready to watch us again make note of his speech pattern here make note of how he uses the word Pfizer specifically and make note of the sentence structure because he almost directly parrots the Pfizer CEO so watch it one more time and then we'll watch the Pfizer CEO specifically talking about it and then we'll talk about that it's the level of the optimum and every time I speak of I say if you been vaccinated get your booster shot everybody get the booster shot this the envelope the optimum protection you could have your protected very well with two shots if the supervisor anyway checked but you are better protected with the Bush definition right now five and if you didn't just hear that that was the reporter reminding him the actual question because he went off in a tangent referencing this this Pfizer CEO statement regarding two boosters he and he tries to correct this Pfizer statement because obviously there was some conversation around how this is you know fueling the disbelief within the vaccine in in his war room with his constituents with his advisers so you see him trying to you know subconsciously you know I don't know if this was his doing or someone else's but he either had a Freudian slip and he is mentioning this Pfizer CEOs conversation where he says that to vaccines do nothing and that you need 1/3 and he tries to combat the CEO of this company while mentioning this company's name and save is incorrect so he's directly and I don't know whether it was a Freudian slip and he was just trying to me was parroting the CEO statement just in a way that he thought was positive instead of negative or if he was directly trying to combat that no I don't think that he is smart enough to do that I think that he was spit in and you know it's it's hard with Joe Biden that you know he he's it it's hard to look at him and not have a little bit of empathy for this old man who has no right being in this position who is obviously severely declining mentally and it you know is dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever it is that he has is going to progress as a result of all the stress and knowing all these things and I truly do default in of the fact that his wife is allowing him to go through all this is is horrible because you anyways back back to it let's let's go ahead and watch that the Pfizer CEOs statement here and then I did actually have to go to I had to go to rumble for this and into to get this video because you obviously cannot find on YouTube with the and although the three doses of optional for very limited production equipment the city does the the author reasonable protection against hospitalization and best in a given phase is a very good thank less protection against infection now we are working on their own new exertion for version 1.1 with the Doppler thought that would cover all is well and the gifts we are waiting to get the final results deliver suit will be ready in March so we know we know the first two didn't work but this third one is going to work and didn't know we know that one's going to work so were coming out with another one so just adjust or talk again about that speech pattern with Joe Biden in and how this was subconsciously or consciously that's less believable to me I was subconsciously referenced by our president let's look at that first name again them go back and look at your Bidens I think this is is is it you have to kind of break it down this way because it was you know 10 seconds of a statement so real quick we know the three different doses of optional for very limited production in Frederick three though he didn't the authors reasonable protection against hospitalization and best leaving engineers is very and less protection against ear infections now if you go back and listen to Joe Biden talk about it one last time here check did very well with two shuffle of the year booster shot everybody get the booster shot this the envelope the optimum protection you could have protected very well with two shots if the supplies are annually protected but you are better protected with the bush and and so you see it that's exactly what is happened there he was in his mind trying to kind of is wires were cross but he was referencing this Pfizer CEO statement that's been via you pusher on the Internet with millions and millions of you that by now I guarantee it where he is saying that you know two shots looking to do it for you what will building with a will Pfizer in a neutralizer in there because Ito has his wires are crossed here but I found that to be really interesting that there was this little Freudian slip and you see him immediately backtrack and immediately stop us to a sentence and immediately change the topic once he says the word Pfizer because he realized what he was doing interesting don't know exactly what to make of it like I said it could have been the subconscious thing could've been a conscious thing but either way that's exactly what just happened there alright so the next thing to look at is going to be one of the statements that he made regarding you know whether or not he's outperformed him it what his expectations are so it was watch this clip here inflation is up to your signature domestic legislation is stalled in Congress if you hours from now the Senate never consented to deal with voting rights and voting of buddy before much later going to fail color 19 is still taking the lives of 1500 Americans every day and the nations divisions are just as wrong as they were a year ago did you overpromise to the American public what you can achieve in your first year in office and how you plan to course correct going forward are you such a look I didn't overpromise food but I have probably enough outperform what anybody thought would happen the fact of the matter is that Ruth situation where we have the conflict so he says I have not come I've actually outperformed what anybody thought it yet because we thought you'd be dead by now Joe we thought you'd be dead by now and in that we thought Pamela Harris was good to be part of the power you're right you absolutely outperformed all expectations because we absolutely thought you had much less time on the clock than you showed us with the last 365 day but other than that he doesn't even go into it into why he believes that he's outperformed you know his expectations are to be the only way that that's true because he has of is it you know they they pull it up on on disclosure run the 4110 that was watching earlier that his approval ratings at 40% which a 40% approval rating for president basically means you know that the widely accepted you know in the political science widely accepted percentage for for basically a completely ineffective president is like 41% is generous and 43% is like yet you're not can anything past nobody believes in you you don't have this way no you see it later on when he's talking about Russia that that everything that this man says is just you know pillows day that he's throwing in a in a gunfight the fact that he wants to sit there and smugly say they know I've outperformed everybody's expectations. Yeah maybe your right hip but not in the way that you think no so I just thought that was funny they that he thought that you know he's done so incredible of a job at this point that you know we we don't even have to talk about it because he doesn't talk about it in this entire interview did the whole time he shows you how bad he is tactfully at answering questions and this is the reason he's been hidden away and in the video some probably some you know scientific institution whether you know testing all sorts of you know chemicals on him to see if they can bring back his livelihood or his liveliness and ability to speak or actually maintain a sentence structure but there's a reason they bring keeping us away from him for so long throughout this entire year because this is probably one of the only times I've seen him outright stand and answer questions or knowing all of his his poor operator tries at being funny like oh you're an optimist highlight no I get it but still need it it's it's sad to see it in and it's crazy to me that you know he did the part of the best thing when you when you read about leadership and you read about the qualities of a leader in anything you you have to have read about leadership and if you do if you read about any books about leadership you know any books Jaco will link you know he has it in the title for you extreme ownership right if things aren't going the way that you want them to taking extreme ownership for those things that have not gone the ways that you want them to tends to put you in a better light in the public eye right but sitting here and acting like there's no problem saying you outperformed all expectations when you have a 40% approval rating one of the lowest of any president ever especially one who got more votes than any other president in the entire history of America doesn't look good right so in note to me it is it's really telling it's really telling how you know it his is his poor ability to to lead and in his terrible way of of trying to you know in insight some kind of like confidence in the public I don't know what he was trying to do here you know is that the public would've what you know in anything he does a certain percentage of the right is going to disagree and say that he's doing terrible and no but if you would came out here and said I know things are going great I know you know inflation as is unbelievably high I know were on the cusp of watching Russia just obliterate Ukraine and working to do nothing about it I know that you're paying more in gas than you have since I was in office last you know I know these things I understand these things I'm doing the best that I can today to try and make the situation better for you better for our country and better for your family but doesn't do that he says I know everything's great everything is great don't don't look at those numbers to look at the statistics unless they come from my website no don't don't look at those those are real what's real is what I'm telling you and everything is great right the people are smarter than that people don't appreciate being gas lit by the president of the United States we know things are going great were well aware of this Joe Biden where were we very clearly no you are not doing a great job we very clearly that we leave in the polls the polls that they put up in this video say that you have a 40% approval rating how is that exceeding all expectations what what was your expectation for your approval rating especially after beginning more votes than any president history imagine that one year one year into getting more votes than any president in history 80 whatever million votes that he got and you have one of the lowest approval ratings of any president ever how does that work how does it work how how does that even happen right and then for you to sit here stare at a camera securities people asking real people asking you these questions real Americans concerned about the on the job you're losing because they're they're not willing to you know bend on their moral compass for what they inject into their body real people were concerned about how to pay it for five dollars a gallon especially if Russia invades Ukraine the gastric prices may skyrocket how are you gonna stand in front of a group of people it did not even just a group of people obvious is hundred people this is the entire world is watching us and pollutants watching us earnestly in front of everybody all of the government leaders of the entire world and say I am doing great close your eyes don't pay attention all the stuff is happening I'm doing wonderful all you have to do is believe me in in in it so amazing to me that what he ran on was unity what he ran on was you know the divisiveness of the Trump presidency and you know America has been divided for the last four years and I'm the one to bring them together but all he's done every speech every every quote that I've seen from him regarding you know when he is talked about the January 6 Museum to her right when when he discussed that no when he discussed president from calling him a loser this was recently this is like a month ago is not even a month ago to three weeks ago and then cut comes on here in the inns even still pointing fingers to to to trump today saying that he is the reason that he can't get anything past no ownership at all and in a night I gotta take this philosophy in the Sabia site engine for you but I cannot take this philosophy that you know it even if it's not 100% my fault even if there's there's there's things that I credit it couldn't have changed about a situation and things that were out of my control in in in things that you know happened that I couldn't have corrected an inmate a better outcome with used it to me a full philosophically you know at least in the way that I need to live my life or at least are in the framework that I need to operate in went when I'm you know in a day-to-day basis to try to move the needle of my life towards a better direction instead of a worse direction is always taking ownership always taking ownership of the things that you do even if it is specially for the pricing I state the people are asking you policy questions but even if not even if it's about parenting or even if it's about you know work or even ask about you know your business or you know whenever you know passions that you're trying to grow whatever that is if things are going your way you will have to take ownership 100% have to take ownership for those things because if you don't that is out of your control there's nothing you can do even if there is there is things that are out of your control within that situation the outcome always has to be your fault because it is not your fault when things go wrong it's not your fault when things go right and you can never take ownership for the good things so in order to take ownership for the good things that happen you in or in order to be able to actually celebrate when things go right in your life you have to absolutely take ownership when things go bad in your life and if you don't you can always use that scapegoat you always have a scapegoat you never have to look deep into yourself and then kind of take a in a fine tooth comb to your personality or or or to your belief systems or to your work ethic or or to your you know whatever it is that you need to work on your never going to be able to work on those things if you don't address that there there right and this is from my coparenting perspective this is from an individual perspective this is from a no but but but even more so if you're the President of the United States you have to take ownership when things don't go right and if you don't people are to believe in you because when are you to tell me that you're doing a bad job would you ever tell me if you're doing a bad job right if if inflations up whatever percentage of this right now and gas is up you know to four dollars and you know the cost of me and then literally everything else within the eye states are skyrocketing and shelves are empty but the price in the eye states sitting or saying everything's going great okay if every if you're doing your job and everything is going right then what is wrong what what what could be the problem then if it's not you the present United States who is at the helm who is who has the reins of the country or Lisa supposed to it is not you than what is it because if it's a systematic flaw within the way that our country is being operated outside of the presidency which as you know obviously with whether governments run and how many layers there are is probably more likely that there's obviously a some systematic problems but the only variable that changed between when things were going well with our economy and are in a worldwide no buy-in and in our relationships with Russia and China were going well was it was not that long ago almost approximately to the day 360 with exactly 365 days ago and if you think that is a coincidence that less than you know 300 or so day 365 days within the did the presidency changing that Russia has for the last however many months I'm sure it's been at least 6 to 8 to 10 probably since the day he took office been planning this attack because they know that the president Biden doesn't have the balls to do anything about it he said to send troops there is a disease but you know this Sunday is probably drew a beautiful bowl should ask picture of it in no a stick figure for Vladimir Putin that sitting above his desk you know he can't do anything right he can't do these things because the people that are controlling and will allow it rights of the SSA here in Goa were going to give sanctions and you'll see that when we look at the very next topic which is going to be the Russia situation because in I'm rushing to take a little bit deeper of a look into the Russia situation because it's not something I'm super familiar with why these things are happening why they're going to war allegedly no obviously allegedly because is not generally the reason that are given the public whether going to war, in the last week they said there was there was some proposal or some CIA document or governmental agency that said they were concerned about Russia committing a false flag and using it as an excuse to go after Ukraine I'm that was last week and now they're saying it's a for sure thing we believe is going to go into Ukraine sorted a dive into that and in just a moment here but you know to me watching this you know the President of the United States sit here and in the and push off any responsibility any responsibility all for the things that happen within our country specifically in the last year is terrifying to me not terrifying because obviously you know to to me at it's more so just shows his you know it is terrifying I guess because Russia is about to go to war with Ukraine for after the just that it's almost a for sure thing they believe is in a good war and whether they go into war a little bit or a lot of it is independent our reaction not don't go to war right so the fact that he's pushing off any and all responsibility any responsibility for things that have gone wrong over the last year should be concerning because at what point will you take response building if you're not taking response ability publicly are you taking response ability privately at least do you believe that you can change the way that were the direction of our country is going because if you don't leave leave office goal it let somebody come in office was actually to make a change in the change for the better with the right intentions not the intentions are to make third drug addict pedophile disgusting son the most money with so many who's gonna come in and do what's right for the country some who's gonna come in with beliefs for where they actually want to see our country go police or where they want to see their their their children lives and in the direction of their children's lives go and in education systems and in it and the problems that are really within our country it be be push in a better direction in a factual item he shown that he's been an officer's benefit in some form of politics for hundred and 65 years at this point no most of you know since the Jesus was president it it's it's crazy to me that that that nobody in and again I'm note and nothing anybody push back on this tea took no responsibility for any of the negative things and you can sit here and look at charts you can sit here and use math statistics real science data on facts to figure out that what he's done so far has been not good every major plan he promised to pass including the bill back better plan which is basically just Trojan horse to siphon money to to directly to the Chinese communist party by a getting out of Afghanistan in allowing the the Chinese government to make a deal with the Taliban to have the rights to all of the lithium deposits in Afghanistan one of the most lithium rich countries in the world and then in the same two months that you left Afghanistan submit a bill to allow for a $6000 tax grant to people working up by those lithium batteries from the Chinese, his party through electronic vehicles I wholeheartedly believe that's what the Afghanistan retreat was about the Afghanistan failure was about was relieving our duty to protect Afghanistan and allowing China to because they did that they they they made a deal with and what was it weeks not even of us leaving Afghanistan and not only did we do that but we left them how many billions of dollars worth of military equipment and then the China came in and specifically made a deal for all the lithium deposits and within two months the bill back but are planning to build back better plan it includes believe it $6000 grant federal grant tax money that you earned and paid our government they are basically just siphoning back to China so not only did they give them the lithium on the backs of the deaths of every military soldier who fought against Al Qaeda who fought against the Taliban who fought against ISIS in those areas on that that that that the the coffins of those who fought against the that the terrorists were over there there are now going to not only give them billions of dollars of the most advanced military equipment in the world then there going to spoonfeed China all of the lithium in Afghanistan and then they're going to buy it back from them at a $6000 per person grant of a yield or money that you paid the government for through taxes I don't know where that sentence started but I know this bill back but her stuff is bull ship crazy crazy to me that that was included in that bill and not written immediately within two months two months of the bill of of us leaving Afghanistan that build back better plan had that within the within so let's let's let's go into this a little bit let's find out why may be Russia is actually considering going to war or is going to go to war with Ukraine look at could possibly mean for NATO relationships what that could mean the United States and me and you and why Russia is even doing that in the first place so first were to watch the quick video of Biden talking about it them were in a read an article that I found that hopefully gives us some good and for information on so go ahead and watch it they in June you said was about Pres. Putin I think the last thing he wants now is a Cold War that since then of course you see them gather these troops hundred thousand troops around Ukraine the Secretary of State said today he thought he could invade it at any moment you seen the cyber attacks and you see the demand of the of a sphere of influence in which you would withdraw all American troops in nuclear weapons from what used to be the Soviet bloc so I'm wondering if you still think that the last thing he wants is a Cold War and has your view of him changed in the past few months and if it has and he does invade what would your posture be to really move back to the kind of containment policy that use also often when you were still in the Senate the answer is that I think he still does not want it is number two do I think you've test West test United States and NATO as significantly secure yes I think you will but I think will pay serious and dear price for that he doesn't think now cost ones can cost and I think you regret having done now whether or not I think that the how can I say this public for I think that he is dealing with what I believe he thinks is the most tragic thing that's happened to mother Russia and that Berlin wall came down the Empire has been lost near Broadus John Tschetter Soviet Union has been split home but think about what he had is it time zones burning 200 and will not freeze again naturally a situation where he has a lot of oil and gas but he is trying to find his place in the world between China and the West and so I'm not so sure that he has David I'm not so sure he has certain what is my guess is she will move in he has to do something and by the way I've indicated to the two things he said to me that he wants guarantees one is Ukraine 11 report NATO in two that NATO or the there will not be strategic weapon station in decree we can work out something in the second case attend and what he does long Russian line is well Russian border in the European area on the first piece we have a number of treaties international in Newark suggest that you get to choose who you want to be with but the likelihood that Ukraine is going to join NATO in the near term is not very likely based on watch for work they have to do in terms of democracy and a few other things going on and whether or not major allies in the West vote to bring Ukraine in right now so there's room to work if he wants to do the but I think as usual he's going to I probably should garnish I think it will hurt too bad Fayetteville so IA just kind of gave us why at least a roundabout way or maybe a snippet of what why this is happening and it sounds you know that that the things that he dissected and what Biden just said was well we may veto he wants to things from us in only we were knocking at give him everything he wants will make maybe will give him the second one the second one being you know not having NATO weapon eyes military or weapons in Ukraine specifically obviously because it may be a threat to Russia and then you know he says it was a week maybe we can sit down work that went out but but you know the first one he wants is that Ukraine will be a part of NATO and I think I think that were probably not to do that either so what he just said this reporter is working to give them everything that he wants to ensure no maybe not even to ensure that but just to give them everything he wants when I can fight back when I can do any thing about this were to give him everything he wants he decided he has to demands and working to fill them all like way to go so buddy buddy did kind of outline may be why this this is happening a little bit sounds like Hooton feels threatened by the idea of NATO having weapons in Ukraine or Ukraine being used two position weapons closer to Russia and Ukraine specifically having the opportunity to join NATO and I hopefully will find out in this article that I'm reading right after this that will read together why a specifically it's a problem if Ukraine goes to NATO and forgive me if you are you know much more educated on this topic I'm I'm glad you are but is not one that I've been following super close down even know where to find out hopefully how long this is even going on for this to be an issue but my very educated on so hopefully if you are educated on it was get educated together and if you are educated on it awesome let's see if we find out something that you don't already know so let's go ahead and read this article I think you should go go listen to majority of that that Joe Biden questioning I do think it's interesting I think it's interesting insight into why you know there are maybe why he was So far away from us for so long and also kind of the dissent structure and where his mental capacity is at right now and in kind of you know there was some interesting questions that were asked and he danced around virtually all of them without you know any day doesn't even Nestlé dancer on these things you just like kind of babbles because he forgot the question and then never actually answers it and then gets confused and then call some deals and it was basically the theme of what happened through this questioning but there there was one more portion of that that I thought maybe we could listen real quick there was a female reporter who it basically question him and in pride a little bit further because she was thought it was interesting how he said it's good to our our response is going to depend widely on what they do so let's see maybe what let's pull this question up here and then will go ahead and read that article on what is actually going on in Russia so here is this part and then maybe we'll talk a bit more about that and dive in the article sanction they I wanted to follow up briefly on a question asked by Bloomberg you said that Russia would be held accountable if it invades and it depends on what it does it's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and what not to do are you saying that a minor incursion by Russia into Ukrainian territory would not lead to the sanctions that you have threatened writing effectively giving prudent permission to make a small incursion into the country question so to most important thing to do regulations coupons number two the ideas that we would do anything to split data which would be a profound impact on one of I think, in fact one subject we can would be a big mistake so the question is if it's a something significantly short of a significant invasion were not significant major military forces coming across for example okay it's one thing to determine that if they continue to to use cyber will we we can respond so well but outside they have FSP people is now writing down outlandish visa undermine solidarity in Ukraine about Russian trying to promote Russian interest but it's very important that we keep everyone in NATO that's what I'm spending a lot of time doing and there are different for differences NATO what countries are willing to do depending on what happens the degree to which I will be cleared the serious imposition of sanctions relative to dollar transactions the things are things that are going to have a negative impact on the United States as well as the negative impact in the economies of Europe as well a devastating impact on rush and so I got to make sure everybody's in the same page as immovable I think we will if there's something that is Werther's Russian forces crossing the border killing Ukrainian fighters etc. the that changes everything but it depends on what he does is take action when extent invariably get total unity rush on the new from quick went on Iran alright so as though he had a few things therewith always interesting to me and hit the heat did I'm proud of him Joe Biden if you're listening to this podcast and now the likelihood is probably very great that you are good job I'm am very impressed that you will start of a sentence and at one point you even came back to the original point of the question and and finish your thought there that was very impressive to me I applaud you and it's it's prayer is always a game raise like in the every time he starts a sentence as it can alike go off on this crazy tangent and then we do have no idea where he's going or how he got to this point and in the what question he's really thinks he's answering her mother is actually answer the question and I think I was probably the only time where he actually payments back and said you know it depends on what he dies them to what extent were to be able to have total unity within NATO and you know what response what I have so we actually did finish that when I'm very impressed Joe Mr. Pres. but so to me in on the next thing that he talks about there the first thing I should do with the way he open that is big when they say powerful the most powerful countries in the world cannot bluff so to me if you ever played poker maybe I'm wrong when it comes to international relations in war but usually it's the biggest countries who can bluff the most if you have all of the chips usually is much easier for you to block people out because you know how little chips they have right from Aveeno analogy standpoint right if you have all the chips and then you have more chips than anybody and there's two of you who have the chips right you know the and there's six people who don't have very many chips you can throw in three chips and affects everybody out you might have 30 of them write this now it is going to farm sorry that the basis is if you have all dam chips you get the bluff all you want right they did that you don't get the you know if you're not generally bluffing if you're very low on ships and I don't know if that run through with you I'm sorry but I did to me made sense the lease when I started that thought and Lisa came back around to it right but to me if I get you note what if you if you're the largest when can you bluff then in knowing and why does it have to be a bluff why do we have to be bluffing that if you go in the no obliterate a country that has very very little means to defend themselves without us supporting them and giving them weapons and troops in Indo black ops military to help them complete real missions and train them which is what will and that happening like always ends up happening when these things happen it it if you know if you can't bluff white what you have to bluff buys that a problem lies the problem if someone is going to invade another country and they shouldn't do that morally you know that maybe that gets into the multinational way that we dip our hands and all these you know wars so made may be we shouldn't be but but but again you know I I found that statement to be interesting you know we can't block for America America's been bluffing for a very long time and a lot of different situations this would be the first time so that was interesting and then the last thing that he said you know was kind of dance around the question eventually came to a point where you know maybe he realized what the actual question was so let's dive a

it might be a good idea using specific subs that myself to find some in the panic creators who had an independent opinion that was maybe tied to a large media organization and see what they had to say about it so I typed in sub stack why is Russia invading Ukraine this is what comes up so is an article by Henry Bolton Henry Bolton according to his own self is the BRI T PAC chairman British pack German former national politician political leader Amber exit campaigner previous a British Army Capt. and some other things that he says about himself so this was written on January 18 yesterday at the height on Tuesday of the situation so to start off this article is named the likelihood is that Russia will invade Ukraine here's why and what the objectives are likely to be Russia has deployed an estimated 100,000 to 125,000 troops around 75% of Russia's total ground combat power to Ukraine's eastern border Pres. Putin has issued demands and threats to Ukraine and NATO has launched's waving cyber attacks against Ukraine and has increased the rhetoric aimed at his domestic audience all the signs are that the Kremlin is poised to strike but will day and if so at what and why in addition to the Black Sea deposits in the Caribbean waters Ukraine has massive gas reserves in the east of the country I know I said that what that east of the country in particular the huge use a method or pronounce it why use the IVS KE use the avast ski field with these deposits Ukraine holds 5,400,000,000,000 m³ of gas the third largest reserves in Europe when Russia occupied the Crimea in 2014 Ukraine lost in Russia gained the huge gas deposits under the Scythian section of the Black Sea shelf the Black Sea shelf deposits had been under exploration for several years and Ukraine finally awarded the licenses of for their expert exploration in August 2012 Ukraine did not possess the technology or expertise to exploit the deposit itself they are very deep into the contracts were inevitably going to go abroad given the very close association between the Ukrainian Pres. Victor Jan new show Vic and Pres. Putin the Kremlin expected the contracts will be issued to the Russian energy giant gas broom but the Kremlin should have foreseen a problem until the Russian occupation of Crimea in the down buzz in eastern Ukraine Ukraine imported almost all of its gas from Gasper gas from had in turn impose numerous price hikes in Ukraine Ukraine's gas distributor NAFTA gas has struggled to pay the bills but 2014 NAFTA gas owned gas from old gas from $4.5 billion in US currency because of the repeated price hikes and resulting tensions between gas perm and NAFTA gas Ukraine had been trying to establish order other non-Russian supplies return to Europe for them and when the contract licenses were issued for the expectation of Ukrainians gas they went not to gasp Rome and Russia but to the group that led by American Exxon Mobil but to a group led by American Exxon Mobil but in including Dutch British Royal Dutch Shell and Romanian OMD Pro pressroom working with Ukrainian state company natural I'm sorry for all the pronunciation that there was a lot of Ukrainian words and companies in the meantime as I say Ukraine was looking to diversify its gas supply here enters the Europe European Union and one of the causes of Russian anger towards the UV Europe at the time in 2013 import about 39% of its gas from Russia in 2019 it was 41% was going up the last seven years nine years and much of the gas to Ukraine wanted to import from the EU was in fact redirected Russian gas gastro contracts new energy importing companies forbade such redirection and resell it in 2006 the clauses were removed because they infringed are in article 81 of the European community treaty and restrictive business practices legally this meant that your company's had every right to reexport gas no matter where they got it from indeed the Ukraine that now imports most of its gas from Hungary and Poland but can anyone really see Pres. Putin accepting such things passively so it sounds like there's been this kind of gas for this like resource a mineral war you know it's interesting talking on the backs of the idea of Afghanistan being left for China with lithium deposits to B passes the bill back that a plan which is to give them the 6000 diagram per person and with millions and millions people buying electric cars that would mean when millions and billions and trillions of dollars to China from your tax dollars that we gave up Afghanistan for interesting but I digress as an aside as an aside I know how I feel about the skies writing as an aside maybe it's because he's from Britain you know the UK or something member is from where you from is the brick picture so whatever that culture shimmies British so maybe they say that Britain given the very close association let's see if we can find where we were at as an aside consider the Russian involvement in resisting the pro-EU made in protests and KE of 2013 the context of access Ukrainian gas access the Ukrainian gas fields is a large part of the reason that the Kremlin was and is still so sensitive our Ukraine closing up to the European Union so it sounds like I got mineral war between the Eno European Union Russia and you know even the United states being in on it with Exxon so wind when in 2014 Russia occupied commedia Ukraine lost the Black Sea hydrocarbon fields that some list of names there in a minute butcher in that were under the promising exploration and if we look at the fighting in the East the country thousand 14 you carry nearly lost the town of slope and ask him backed rebels the so-called republics so let's go on low before more here so says the let's look briefly at what happened if Russia had not occupy Korea let's move on don't care about that so I might rush initiate hostilities again Ukraine in fact hostilities between Ukraine and Russia backed rebels in the East have never quite ceased but if we assume based on the above that the crime was objective in 2014 and 15 was to secure Ukraine's gas deposits in the Black Sea and east of the country so as to extend the maintain economic and political leverage over EU economies and if we assume that those objectives were not fully reached pro-Russian rebels failed to retain their occupation and therefore control over the massive use it Visco Ashfield use zip sky gas-filled and then yes hostilities at some point are likely combat indications so what is pointing us to the fact that this could happen right why do people believe it is going to be up for sur
In 2011, the former Dynasty actor Catherine Oxenberg and her 19-year-old daughter India took a course from the self-help organisation Nxivm (pronounced Nexium). It was a pivotal experience for India as she had been struggling to find a career and Nxivm seemed to offer her purpose. She ended up working for them as a coach and moving away from her mother. What India didn't know was that Nxivm was in fact a dangerous cult. Eventually she would be trapped in a secret subgroup, which was really a sex-trafficking ring operated by the cult leader, Keith Raniere. This episode is part of Cult Behaviour, a mini-series from Outlook exploring how a cult can manipulate a person's sense of reality, and what it can take to break free. Radio listeners, if you are searching for the combined podcast version of India and Catherine's interview – this is it.
