66. Jacob Teitelbaum, MD Provides A Simple Protocol That Works to Reduce Symptoms of Diabetes Or To No Longer Having It & How to Address the Protocol with the Right Physicians Host Enoe A. Brown, March 27, 2025
 
Today we will learn how  Dr. Teitelbaum has found successful outcomes in treating diabetes by using specific supplements and also how to work with your physician to request the correct dosages for a medication called Metformin, which helps increase energy production in cells by improving insulin sensitivity. Dr. Teitelbaum points to several factors that keep someone who has diabetes trapped in their sickness; and how they are recommended practices to follow that require discipline but are surely bound to fail to do with weight management, or eliminating favorite foods which never works and makes one prone to failure.This approach is inexpensive for what it can do. You can write to Dr. Teitelbaum so he can email you the protocol at fatiguedoc@gmail.com. In this conversation Dr. Teitelbaum will also discuss how to read sugar toxicity off any boxed product you might buy in a supermarket and how to interpret the information so you are informed and know how to protect your health. Dr. T will also address how to find physicians who support this kind of work and why this is practical knowledge with proven results that if followed can help someone succeed. Dr Teitelbaum believes that no one should have to eliminate foods that give them pleasure in order to get well. So we hope this will be useful for your health and helps to ease or erase the challenges this illness often presents to each person.

65. Patricia Pearce - A Newfound Mystic & Former Presbyterian Minister, Who Wrote Beyond Jesus Explains How Misunderstanding His Message of Self Empowerment Has Stopped Our Own Spiritual Growth

 65. Patricia Pearce - A Newfound Mystic & Former Presbyterian Minister, Who Wrote Beyond Jesus Explains How Misunderstanding His Message of Self Empowerment Has Stopped Our Own Spiritual Growth Host: Enoe A. Brown, Mar 6, 2025
 
Listen to Patricia Pearce , who was born into a Christian religion, and who later became a presbyterian minister, leading her own ministry at Tabernacle United in Philadelphia. Until a close friend died, she was led through several synchronicities into a new understanding about her spiritual beliefs about Jesus and her work as a minister and her own work in the church. She resigned from her position and now leads a life with a new understanding about what Jesus 's life and teachings are really supposed to do. She says she downloads information from spirit and is told his work had to do with helping us understand what our own abilities were about, and how far we take them, not about how to make him into a far off spiritual icon, that we can't relate to, and abandon our own spiritual development. We will speak about her encounters with other spiritual masters of today, and how our views of spirituality are changing and expanding, so that even science is coming to understand spirituality through quantum physics, and much more.

63. Simmi Chopra Ayurveda Practitioner Explains How India’s Ancient Traditional Healing Can Address Illness, & How Medical Science Can Now Track Its Success Through Study of Genes Host EAB 2. 20.2025

Simmi Chopra Bhatia speaks to us about her incredible challenges such as surviving cancer, to going from being a molecular biologist to an ayurvedic practitioner now in NYC. She tells us about the specific system used to address each person's health, and how it is broken down by constitution, what foods best fit each type of person, how the purity of supplements are to be requested by patients, and how to be careful about taking up the next popular food on the horizon. Often not understanding that something like popular recipes online or on TV such as  smoothies with raw greens like kale or broccoli, when taken daily without cooking them can start to affect the body negatively without the person's knowledge, leading to other unseen health issues that have to be addressed. She put some light on the new way medical science has found that by studying how genes react to this form of healing it can track if this form of healing is a successful way to prevent disease or of healing of a disease or illness.

62. Bernie Siegel-MD Author of Love, Medicine, & Miracles Explains How to Treat a Patient Like a Person Not a Disease: How Listening To Their Dreams, Intuition, or Even a Drawing Can Save Their Life.

62. Bernie Siegel-MD Author of Love, Medicine, & Miracles Explains How to Treat a Patient Like a Person Not a Disease: How Listening To Their Dreams, Intuition, or Even a Drawing Can Save Their Life. Host: Enoe Aracely Brown, Feb 13, 2025
 
 
Listen to various stories by Bernie Siegel, MD during about his practice as a doctor with cancer patients and with children and how by conversing with each person, listening to their dreams, intuition, or even having a child do a drawing about their operation gave him great insights and sometime avoid mistakes while trying to save their life in an operating room. How he discovered how to understand a cancer patient and often raise their spiritual views so they could learn how to heal their own bodies; and at times how he would speak to their subconscious mind while in the operating room and request them to stay in this life, often proving to other doctors and staff that these methods work as the patient would survive and be well. Over the years he has trained several therapists to work with patients who are very ill or teach someone how to change their mindset. He  gives us a better understanding of how our mind works, and where our power to get well resides; as well as how we can decide to pass peacefully on our own terms from a point of strength and a sense of empowerment.Music Featured:Will Be By Your Side by MeloMance, and Superstar by Lee Seung Hyub (J.Don) (featuring Cheeze) Solo Debut

In 1983 she graduated from Colorado State University as a veterinarian, with a residency in non-domestic animal medicine at UC Davis & the California Department of Fish & Game. She has served as zoological and wildlife veterinarian at several zoos and wildlife facilities in Africa and the United States with a focus on neonatal care; diagnosis; treatment; medical management; capture and re-locations; immobilizations; and necropsies.  But what changed her life came in 1989 when she spent a year in Africa. In 1992 Barbara started a new career in animal communication. She wanted to get to the root cause of an animal’s emotional and physical issues, and get to know who animals are as spiritual beings and what they want to communicate to us. Barbara is the author of Soul of the Wild: Intimate Messages from the Hearts & Souls of Elephants & Whales. Her other book is titled : “Soul of the Wild Book II: The Wisdom of Elephants.”She has a podcast called Animals & Us: Voices of a New Paradigm.
