Season 3 Episode 4 - Chronic Pain, the basics to heal, the mind-body connection

Send us a textThe times are fraught with lies and confusion. I am excited to be speaking to Margaret Anna Alice who is another truth seeker and teller. Smart, unabashed, she tells it like it is without fear. She is very good with words like philanthropath - a psychopath masquerading as a philanthropist. An example of this is Bill Gates.Basically she likes to unmask totalitarianism by examining media narratives propaganda, neuropsychology, framing, philosophy, literature and culture.Join us as we celebrate the term apocaloptimist, Assange's freedom and so much more.PS: Be good to yourself, help the world step into true freedom and profound joy. PPS:  Check out Avi Gross's music on Spotify etc. His instrumental album, Sophie's Heart, is so beautiful.PPPS: Support Bobby Kennedy for president!!!Support the show#truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #medicalfreedom #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossibleNew book: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.Also Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor.

Send us a textThis episode talks about grieving and how and why an approach using both naturopathic medicine and the expressive arts can keep you balanced and sane, literally in this difficult but precious time. Grieving the loss of a loved one is not easy work. This is why it's so important to do whatever you can on your own to balance your body and mind in every way you know how.  My book Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to heal PTS and ACE (Adverse Childhood Events) that ironically came out a few weeks before my husband went in the hospital there is a lot of information and measures offered to  maximize the best health possible, ensuring metabolic pathways get what they need to do the best job whether optimal nutrition,  supplementation, help in digestion and sleep, and so on. If we alternatively we comfort ourselves with sweets or late nights or other draws we can soon take a deep dive in our emotions and mental health.  I know it's not easy, I'm going through it myself, but what choice do we have? It can be a fine line between sanity and mental imbalance all the while you're in the midst of deep grief. By tending to our needs with a bit of care we feed healthy metabolic avenues that affect the brain and help instead to calm the intense emotions that accompany grief and often shock, even if you thought you were preparing for the inevitable. Knowing how to take care of yourself on the physiological level can mean making or breaking the psychological level. If we can make choices that give us both comfort and nutrition we can maintain or gain enough energy to feel the loss instead of simply jumping back into bed and pulling the covers over your head waiting for the pain to recede. (Although you can do that if you need to, you will most likely crater further which will lead to exhaustion and depression.) And this is when the expressive arts come into play, by choosing to write or sing or act or draw or sculpt we allow our creativity to take us to understand our loss, giving your grief a voice as you allow yourself to feel your emotions, tending to your grief,  and in time move forward. Yes it means focus and work but this is very special journey, and as you feel and grieve your loved one you also feel the gratitude of the time you had together. That's the loss, the joy and comfort, and familiarity, whether you are grateful for their laughter or their hands or the beauty of their eyes know. I wish you the very best on this sacred journey which will teach you so much about life and yourself, ultimately honoring the one who gave you so much.Support the show#truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #medicalfreedom #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossibleNew book: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.Also Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor.

Send us a textThis episode completes the tragic story of Avi's passing by hospital error.  This is Part 2.Although the cause of his original problem was TDap vaccine we did get him well after two heart attacks and a stroke. There was nothing wrong with his brain and his heart and body were healing after we initially got him well with homeopathy and botanicals and music. He was set to come home the day he died. The point of this episode is to encourage anyone who has experienced a fatal hospital error of a loved to talk about it, write about it, do a solo show about it. We need all of our stories in order to change the way hospitals operate. We must have access to natural medicine, to homeopathy in particular in the ICU. Once you experience what can be done to help alleviate suffering through these methods, to see how a person can get out of an induced coma we must realize this is our inherent right. To use what we know to heal. Overturn the upshot of the Flexner Report. Bring back natural medicine to all phases of healing. Have a well-trained homeopath and naturopathic medical doctors at all hospitals. With our health or sick care system crumbling we must have alternatives, we must make our way to a whole new paradigm in hospital care, let alone any other care.Have a blessed week and thanks for listening!XOdrheatherherington.com.  e: [email protected]. Support the show#truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #medicalfreedom #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossibleNew book: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.Also Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor.

Send us a textThis story is mine but what I have realized over the last 14 months is how many people have a similar one. Our hearts have broken, losing a loved one, due to ineptitude, exhaustion, ignorance and/or prejudice. The fact that natural medicine is basically banned in hospitals at least in North America is no longer acceptable. Natural medicine must be included whether through homeopathy, botanical medicine, organic and optimal nutrition, hydrotherapy, visualization and so on.I have been outraged to hear so many have a similar story. As a naturopathic medical doctor my husband could have lived many many more years with how I was helping him even on the sly. Truly we have the tools to help others even in a dire hospital setting.As you will hear homeopathy did come to the rescue, the added supplements and botanicals from general naturopathic medicine did strengthen him. But then ...in the end, hospital procedure ruled Avi's fate. In this episode I can finally speak of the tragedy that I went through. It was such a shock because he died on the day he was to come home after almost three months in the hospital. I am on the road now looking for my next home (and garden) and so the usual additions such as music and sound effects have not been included.

This is no different than the indigenous people because they are the indigenous people to that land. And of course there are many aspects of this and any promises to Palestinians must be kept. There will be one more episode on Dr Heather Uncensored, detailing how the hsptl klld my husband.

Send us a textThe October 7 Massacre. Between the atrocities committed to the reaction of the world to it there is a sense of tumbling into the bleakness of the human mind that I have never experienced before. Friends, good friends of mine, were in denial. From the first day I heard, "That's not true, babies weren't beheaded, women weren't raped," they wrote or told me on the phone. I don't know what I would have done if I had been face to face with them. (I was moving up to northern California. Thank G_d for small mercies.) I knew it was so. If I said, "Yes I am a Zionist, this is the Jews' ancestral land," I was yelled at. This happened over a period of weeks. Truth is when your husband dies (on Valentine's Day, the day he was supposed to come home, killed by the hospital system) nothing can shake your resolve or question what you know in your heart to be true. For me the worst had happened. Just to be clear I can't wait to hear that Netanyahu and his cronies have been ousted. We can save that for another time. This episode focuses on the women and children who were raped, mutilated, many shot in the back of the head while their murderers, monsters, laughed.To think of all the people in the kibbutz having a beautiful day when all of a sudden...Perform the revolutionary act every day of keeping yourself and your loved ones well.

Send us a textChronic pain can seem endless and the situation hopeless. But that doesn't need to be the case. Because the brain gives the orders we can manipulate the situation when we understand neural signaling pathways and other pathways and organs to calm the pain response. In fact there is little difference in dealing with physical or physiological pain than psychological pain. So you can use my book, Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE (adverse childhood experiences) as a way to heal.When we tap into the body's basic needs, making sure to stay on an anti-inflammatory diet, know out allergies and investigate the mind-body connection we can alleviate many of the sources that keep us in chronic pain. Sometimes it's as simple as being well hydrated (coconut water is amazing for this) and sometimes it's just know a certain thought or feeling gives rise to psychic distress. Observe yourself is a mantra I learned as a teenager when I started meditating and this practice can free you up in a way never thought possible. For more information on how to eat, and other medicine to heal, see my books Surviving a Viral Pandemic though the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor (Amazon) and Transforming Trauma (above), published by Hammersmith Books so anywhere.My retreat Moving to Healing is coming in 2024.

Send us a textKara Dansky is a feminist, attorney, public speaker and author of The Abolition of Sex, How the "Transgender" Agenda Harms Women and Girls.This is a must listen to episode.  When you hear that women are not just in prisons with violent male sex offenders but are locked in the same cell you can't help but realize something is very cuckoo going on. Kara goes through why this is a movement steeped in sexism, authoritarianism, is corporate driven and engages in regressive ideology. I believe that trauma and the environment is often at the core, that the approach, understanding and treatment to people feeling they need to change sexes is wholly inadequate. We need the media, health professionals, educators and parents to step up, to discuss it in its fullness. For the sake of our children.Continued bio: Kara serves as the Chair of the Committee on Law and Legislation for the global Women's Human Rights Campaign, renamed lately Women's DeclarationInternational. She has a twenty year background in criminal law and criminal justice policy including being a staff attorney at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.#genderdysphoria #girlpowerSupport the show#truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #medicalfreedom #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossibleNew book: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.Also Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor.

Send us a textThis is a very short episode:) But to the point. SAG-AFTRA is making a huge mistake once again extending the Covid vaccine mandate in their RTWA - return to work agreement. So many actors are suffering from this including having to sell their homes. Please help support non-jabbed actors. It's our right to medical freedom, no matter what the reason. Check out my book on Amazon, Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor to see ALL the alternatives. Far safer, far more effective to boost your immune system!Also my book Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is out published by Hammersmith Books. Lots of really great reviews coming in!Finallly, I hope everyone is watching NEVER AGAIN IS NOW GLOBAL by holocaust survivor Vera Sharav. If you don't realize how serious this time is and how much it mimics Nazi Germany, the terror and evil of the holocaust, it's an absolute must- watch.
