Rebel Health Radio Patricia Worby, PhD

In this audio I describe this ground-breaking information on how to heal with psychedelics from the book How to Change your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan.

The article I mention By Robin Carhart-Harris on The Entropic Brain on psychedelics is here https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00020/full

00:00 Intro to the book and my work
02:40 outline of the book: history, natural history and personal experience of the author Michael Pollan, origins of psychedelic research LSD/mescaline - began in the 1940s/1950s with the 1960s counterculture and anti-war movement
04:59 The War on Drugs began and class A restrictions still in place 50 years later.
06:21 His own experiences with LSD, psilocybin and DMT
07:00 The neuroscience - switching off the Default Mode Network in the brain creates unusual new connections. Disconnection dissolves - we become one with all that is and love as the ultimate meaning
10:16 Drug assisted psychotherapy - the research from the US and the UK - particularly at Imperial College, London under David Knutt - one of the major research  groups in the world. The new renaissance.
14:20 Predictive coding is how the brain avoids uncertainty - entropy is controlled therefore by making things predictable and limited. New states require rewiring of regular reality to include magical thinking much like young children have with neuroplasticity
17:00 New expansive awareness has HUGE potential for healing disease states like depression, anxiety and addiction, overcoming the fear of death in terminal cancer patients but also promoting creativity and productivity in healthy people (when microdosed) 
19:24 The potential to help trauma/PTSD when traumatic memories are over-written by psychedelics and other forms of altered state promotion like EMDR. All require a safe therapeutic container.

Look out for my new book tentatively titled Mind Magic - summer 2024

Psychotherapist Virginia Satir (1916 - 1988) remains one of the most influential family therapists there have ever been but she is virtually unknown now outside of psychology. She taught the importance of feelings over thoughts and blew the current understanding and practice out the water with her emphasis on safe emotional connection and the reasons people repeated certain scripted behaviors. Her work was the basis for Richard Bandler's development of NLP but she is seldom acknowledged or celebrated.

When I was a fledgling therapist I was asked to model myself on someone who worked the way I wanted to and I found her by accident and noticed something very important. She touched people! Both figuratively and physically she stressed the importance of safe emotional connection through touch, sight and sound. She believed everything was vibration and that to be human was a magical thing of divine expression.

Find out how her work has influenced mine and what I wished I'd known about self-esteem and becoming fully human.

Her expressed wish was that everyone could look the mirror and say "the world is a better place because I'm in it".

00:00 Intro to Virginia Satir as a model for the work I now do
03:00 The importance of emotions in working with people in therapy - sight, sound and touch (sensory inputs through the body) enables people to feel safe and is the basis of behaviour
06:11 A faulty model of the world that we learned as children becomes the basis for how we related now - a faulty projection of reality. Power vs. intimacy.
10:05 The body expresses the dysfunction because the mind cannot (it's repressed). Rage then ensues which is driven into symptoms.
11:48 Power dynamics between people. Being present vs. being defended. Freedom to disagree via safe connection vs. reactivity.
13:07 The need to be right will be defended even if it is dysfunctional (Peter Crone) to avoid feeling uncertainty.To be truly intimate have to be willing to acknowledge difference.
15:53 Each human being is the unique manifestation of a divine force. We need time to explore ourselves to be in true relationship with others. We ask to be heard by someone.
17:30 We are vibration - so how we use our bodies matters. Being in true connection whilst disagreeing gives us energy. In battle with our experience.
19:34 The importance of meaning and interpretation in communication. Having an accurate picture in order to respond appropriately
21:56 How the vulnerability of not knowing is part of the solution not the problem. Our difference needs acknowledging and a willingness to not know.
23:32 Every situation in our life in which we struggle shows us where are not free or out of alignment with our true selves.
24: 30 How I work with the body to build self-esteem

Anxiety is not a disease in the sense that doctors describe. It is a message from the body that something in your environment feels unsafe.

For original article I'm commenting on go here. https://www.carolynspring.com/blog/six-steps-to-managing-anxiety/

00:00 Intro - everyday trauma impacts the mind to create a sense of unsafety which can be easily triggered in current life causing anxiety as a symptom
02:50 Anxiety has a purpose - to keep us safe the amygdala will fire a warning signal to DO something to change our situation. Anxiety is normal - to draw your attention to something emotional that hasn't been resolved activating your sympathetic fight and flight system.
05:00 A backbrain phenomenon from past trauma in your history that was unable to be processed.
07:10 Lack of belonging, status, and safety can create physical symptoms of collapse including insomnia. Getting curious as to how to make your environment safer and learn how to soothe yourself.'
10:00 Relational safety. Stressful, competitive, insecure environments.
12:12 Managing anxiety with havening, breathwork, play and connection to overcome nervous dysregulation. How to collaborate with you body via sleep, diet and movement, especially walks in nature and allowing.
14:40 Cognitive reframing - not being anxious about being anxious. Making friends with your anxiety.
Not making it your identity. You are doing anxiety, showing this behaviour, especially when highly sensitive. It's not who you are.
16:31 You are not ill, you lack the skills you need. I teach this at my monthly Community group calls (see my website below to book)
17:50 Your focus matters - not broken but wounded. Get help and support (not try to fix it) but to be with you while you learn what your childhood adverse experiences have created.
20:00 Increasing resilience by dealing with the past needs another to help you. And they have to  be safe to you bodily. That's why I do Discovery calls prior to re-regulation work.

A new 'Magic Bullet' that few people know about (including your doctor!) ... The importance of Methylene Blue and how it might transform human health particularly in areas of low oxygen delivery (fatigue states, depression and neurological damage).

Check out the original recording with Dr Gonalez-Lima on https://deeprootsathome.com/methylene-blue-memory-mood-parkinsons-adhd/ (see the original on rumble linked from there).
See more info on dosing on that website
See his latest summary paper on MB + photobiomodulation with neuro-inflammation here https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36203812/ 
He can also be found on various podcasts here https://www.ihmc.us/stemtalk/episode-107/

00:00 Oldest known drug used for emergency room cyanide poisoning
02:20 Electron Transport Chain in Mitochondria - how it produces cellular energy - a series of reduction/oxidation (redox) reactions where electrons are released - reduction is loss of hydrogen ions (protons) and gain of electrons
05:20 What gets in the way? Cyanide poisoning and some virus infections like HIV or covid, causing low oxygen delivery and assimilation
07:50 Long history of use as an anti-viral against Ebola/HIV and anti malarial.
08:25 MB structure  - electrons held in a ring structure as a chromophore (like coloured foods). 
10:20 Absorbs in IR range - molecule structure is auto-oxidant as well as electron cycling
12:00 Hormesis and biphasic response operates in CFS/ME - at low doses it is advantageous at higher doses can be damaging
14:00 Neurological benefits in healthy people at lower doses - slow aging, dementia, Parkinson's, as well as a powerful antidepressant , etc
15:14 MB is off patent so not supported by Big pharma unlike anti-depressant drugs which are less and less effective - 'treatment resistant depression'
17:30 High permeability as it passes the blood brain barrier and can optimise cellular respiration with well people. So enhances metabolic production enabling better healing, memory, aging i,e is a nootropic as well as a drug for acute medicine.
21:00 Also upregulates (increases) gene expression of protein (enzyme) production longer term thus increasing capacity for oxygen metabolism
22:00 CFS/ME is a form of metabolic 'poisoning' driven by emotional stress and toxicity
23:20 Cure for bladder infections - becomes pro-oxidant in oxidative stress  especially important with the elderly
26:40 Brain function and neurological issues must be coupled to haemodynamic response between oxygen and nitrous oxide in Complex 4 (cytochrome oxidase) facilitated by MB
29:00 Enhancing mental function including extinguishing trauma memories and MB in memory reconsolidation
30:20 Topical application using photobiomodulation of skin tumours with MB and IR light
32:30 Disclaimer. Always contact your medical provider as there are some contraindications. However be aware most doctors are unaware of MB except in emergency situations. Please refer to Dr Gonzalez-Lima's papers to educate your doctor in low grad applications.
33:50 Sources - please do your own research to find

Healing needs the body AND the mind to be engaged with a multifactorial approach. Modern medicine ignores this and concentrates on a single solution which often creates unwanted side effects.
Using a biospsychosocial approach makes much  more sense.
Find out how to take back control of your health.
Includes updates on Methylene Blue and Hormone Harmony.
See the work of Dr Ellen Langer on MindBody Unity

00:00 Intro and update on MB practice - how to avoid dying your tongue blue - add to Vitamin C or drink with a straw. Urine will inevitably go darker once you reach tolerance. 
03:30 Dosage - 0.5mg/kg. how highly sensitive people need to go gently
04:40 How it works and what it does. Prevent dementia by using as a preventative in middle years.
06:07 Hormone Harmony - good results.
06:55 Taking back control. Changing the trajectory of your health. The biopsychosocial journey.
08:28 Events of your life (past and present) contribute to MindBody Unity
10:36 how this impacts our experience of health or disease - a multifactorial model vs the biological pharmaceutical model
12:52 Profits of this approach are draining our health system.
12:00 Getting into a Healing State of Mind

Here i am reviewing and interpreting the book The Road to Character by David Brooks. 
How we find meaning and authentic expression in life is not through avoiding suffering but how we deal with our subsequent demise. Whether through illness or other struggles we all need eachother to help pick ourselves up and make the world a better place.

00:00 Intro to the book The Road to Character (2015) - how I came across David
01:23 What is character? Not your cv description! but an authentic journey
03:00 Stumbling is part of life... "'sin' and humiliation are woven through life"
04:42 How you make meaning - shame /humiliation/ vindication vs responsibility and humility
06:10 How reaching out to others enables us to recover - engendering hope
07:41 The greater good rather than the suffering of the individual - redemption follows a willingness to reach out
09:05 From the valley to the vision is a journey to attachment and community - finding your tribe
10:30 Reverence gratitude and wonder as antidotes to depression
12:10 Acceptance - is changing the beliefs around your deservingness of love (worthiness)
13:00 Joy is for everyone not because you are perfect but from being authentic - a gift when you least expect it
14:00 Reach out for help if you need it!
