Unless you lived it, this is a hard one for many to understand, and it’s called Mattress Island. Mattress Island is a place that becomes someone’s personal, private sanctuary when they are forced to stay in bed more hours than the normal, nighttime sleep hours that people who are healthy enough experience. The chronically ill spend the majority of time in bed not because they truly want to, but because they don’t feel well enough to function optimally, or at least to function enough to live their lives mostly out of bed. Many switch from Mattress Island to Couch Island at any given time, but eventually spend most of their time in their beds—their symptoms are consuming them on so many levels, symptoms that are mostly debilitating. People on Mattress Island have trouble showering, doing basic kitchen chores and even have trouble holding themselves up. Vertigo, dizziness, heart palpitations, fatigue, anxiety, aches, pains, eye blurriness, and brain fog are just a few of the symptoms they may suffer from. Unless someone has lived these symptoms and lived through Mattress Island, it’s nearly impossible to see it with clarity. If someone does see it and has compassion for the ones going through life on and off of Mattress Island, it is a blessing because Mattress Island is not truly respected like it should be. Many people land on Mattress Island part-time, for a couple hours a day, not including nighttime sleep hours, and those couple of hours a day can be hard enough when watching the world hustle and bustle around them. There is a way to get strong, to heal and to leave Mattress Island—countless people have. They found answers when there were none to be found, they applied Medical Medium tools and rose out of the ashes of sickness and healed their mystery chronic illnesses. They arrived in the light of healing and when they look back, they never forget their Mattress Island days. In this episode, you will have new insight and wisdom on the road to healing and what so many have gone through…

In this awesome talk with my dad in Part Three, we are going back in time, into the past when I was poisoned by food at nine years of age and suffered horribly until Spirit Of Compassion spoke to me about something critical that turned it all around—that’s when my great grandfather’s garden became the medicinal paradise miraculously needed. Dad and I talk about his past, when he was a child and he got injured with his friend while climbing a large, special fruit tree in somebody’s yard. We also discuss his favorite guacamole recipe using his heirloom hot peppers he grows in the garden. My dad is a hot pepper expert, with generations of family seeds going back to our roots from Italy. There is much wisdom and knowledge to take in and learn in this profound interview. Fasten your seat belts and take a ride with me and my dad…
Wow! This was an incredible interview with my father. A lot more was covered in this talk: we took a dive into the old days when we had a coconut farm and drank a never-ending amount of fresh coconut water from the best tasting coconuts around, and how we sweated up a storm in 100-degree heat while harvesting thousands of coconuts. This is just a fraction of what we covered in this powerful, inspiring conversation. Dad and I talked about his animal friends and one in particular that he protected and saved so that it could survive. We even delved into his home life and his critters that mean the world to him. Get ready for this episode—an inspiring window into my personal life and, of course, my dad’s…
There was so much covered in this interview with my father. We talked about saving baby turtles that were lost, a baby alligator that was in our pond, and more. Dad is a hard worker and it’s the season he works on his mulberry trees. We covered that and some powerful, inspirational information about mulberry trees. We also took a dive into my childhood and talked about the gift I was given to help others heal. We discussed my old office from decades ago, and reminisced on when I was a child helping others in a grocery store while my parents were trying to shop for food. One of my favorite parts of this interview is us talking about when I would disappear into the woods for long durations, foraging for wild food that Spirit would direct me to. I do hope you enjoy this special talk we had the other day, and many blessings.
The GLP-1 insanity is a prime example of how all realms of the health world are once again completely in the dark on what causes unwanted weight gain, and even what causes all varieties of chronic mystery illness. The entire health movement falling for the fix-all GLP-1 theory alone, never mind the blatant stupidity of GLP-1 drug injections as a manner to control appetite and weight, is as bad as every other trend and great mistake that either didn’t work or injured and harmed healthy and sick people for the last 100 years. Seeing these mistakes on repeat while watching future lives get destroyed is beyond disheartening. There are many reasons why the GLP-1 insanity is just outright wrong, and this won’t be the only episode on the subject. Nevertheless, let’s get down to one of the worst reasons about this trend: When you inject anything subcutaneously and not intravenously, like a B12 injection or injectable drugs such as an antibiotic shot, there is a chance, over time, for your body to react by creating an antibody to the substance being injected. In this case of GLP-1 injections, an antibody can develop over time that tags the hormone peptide agonist as an enemy, which then causes side effects and complications long-term, namely weight-control problems and other issues. Unfortunately, it is already transpiring in people today. In this episode, learn many of the reasons why the GLP-1 insanity isn’t the right course of action, and stay tuned for future episodes on the subject…
If you were doing something that was harmful to the health of yourself and your loved ones and had no idea what it was because it’s seen as a normal, standard health practice and ritual, would you want to be informed on what it is? For your own safety and loved one’s safety, would you want to know? Getting your blood drawn has pros and cons, but when handled wrongly by your health care provider, it’s all cons—the blood draw indoctrination and system is all a con. As soon as you hear this information you will know how bad things really are and how important it is to know this truth. People are victims of excessive blood draws that aren’t handled appropriately. It is a gross, negligent assault upon the chronically ill and women that are pregnant. Way too much blood is taken for no good reason from humankind in order to test that blood for what the doctor orders. A blood test can be done with one drop of blood, but the health system is corrupted to the point of manipulating doctors into believing large quantities of blood are needed from a patient in order to run the tests being requested. This belief is not the truth. One of the main reasons for miscarriages is that pregnant women are getting too much blood drawn and it’s injuring the baby, causing death. Blood draw also weakens the immune system. Anyone who is getting blood work done, especially on a regular basis, can weaken overtime, causing worsened conditions. There are proper protective measures to take when getting your blood drawn and critical understandings that are needed to protect you and your loved ones. Get ready for this episode…
