How can brain retraining treat chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and long COVID?


In this episode, Ashok Gupta, a leader in alternative medicine, discusses the power of brain retraining for managing chronic conditions. By retraining the brain to differentiate between real threats and benign stimuli, individuals can alleviate symptoms and restore balance. 


Ashok explains how psychological, neurological, and immunological factors work together, highlighting the gut-brain axis and the immune system's crucial role in health. He challenges the limited focus on gut health alone, advocating for a more comprehensive approach that recognizes the brain's ability to regulate immune responses.


Ashok dives deeper with the concept of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes, a group of chronic conditions with shared underlying mechanisms. Gupta then unveils promising results from clinical trials of the Gupta Program, a brain retraining method designed to improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with CFS, fibromyalgia, and long COVID.


Learn how you can potentially reduce hypersensitivity, address immune system dysfunction, and regain control of your chronic illness! Tune in now!

The global food crisis necessitates innovative solutions, and regenerative agriculture stands out as a promising approach. Regenerative agriculture prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, and symbiotic relationships between crops and the environment. It seeks to rejuvenate ecosystems, moving beyond conventional farming practices.


In this episode, Nicole Masters is an independent agroecologist, pattern thinker, author and educator. For over 2 decades, Nicole has been recognized as a knowledgeable and dynamic speaker on the topic of soil health and leadership. Nicole unravels the profound connections between plants, fungi, and soil, shedding light on the transformative benefits of regenerative farming practices that shape healthy ecosystems.


Nicole talks about the fascinating realm of natural insect control within healthy soils.  She explains how plants employ fungal networks to absorb nitrogen from deceased insects, creating a natural and efficient insect control system. However, this balance is disrupted when soils undergo compaction, leading to the loss of these beneficial fungal partnerships.


We explore the role of entomopathogenic fungi, such as cordyceps, and their nutrient-scavenging abilities. Nicole advocates for homemade seed treatments, empowering individuals to take charge of their soil health and reduce dependence on chemical solutions. She also discusses herbicide use, encouraging a thoughtful examination of the "why" behind its application, and proposes strategies like buffering herbicides with food to decrease usage and address herbicide resistance.


Focusing on the dual role of fulvic and humic acids, she discusses the significance in human health to their impact on soil health. Nicole highlights their binding capabilities and how they enhance nutrient uptake in plants, ultimately reducing the need for excessive fertilizers.

This is a recording of an interview done with myself and Church and State Podcast at the ReAwaken Tour in December 2023, backstage with Dr Judy Mikovitz.  Dr J is one of the forefront leaders in the health freedom movement being banned, dismantled, ridiculed, followed and even incarcerated for speaking the truth about research she did at the National Cancer Institute.

Even admist some of the darkest times that no one should ever have to go through, she still continues to fight and speak the truth about real scientific research and how so many are being lied to.  She is not only a brilliant scientist, but also believes in the truth of God.  She has partnered up with her Godson who created Light Dove Ministries, a healing center, which you will hear her talk about in this episode. Light Dove was birthed to provide safe access to therapies that heal and restore the body to equilibrium, or balance. The current Western medicine and healthcare system is riddled with corruption and massive conflicts of interest including economic incentives to prescribe dangerous therapies that have been shown to harm. Profit has taken priority above patient care, and Light Dove Ministries serves to place its members back at the center of the health continuum.


It's been a few years since the release of Plandemic, and we wanted to catch up with what Dr J has been up to, more of her research, and hope/resources for the future.

As modern medicine and pharmaceuticals take the lead in healthcare, there's a remarkable intersection with ancient wisdom and alternative medicine. The Torah, a sacred text in Judaism, might not appear directly related to today's infections, but its teachings hold valuable lessons for our contemporary health challenges.


In this episode, Dr. Michael Lebowitz, talks about his book called "God's Preventative Medicine," which explores biblical teachings and scientific explanations for certain practices. Dr. Michael touches on the health implications of mold exposure and how he personally experienced illness from collecting old books containing mold spores in their treatment room and discusses how they discovered that molds and funguses can live in people's bodies. Dr. Michael references biblical practices of quarantine, biofilms, and using essential oils for healing that can break them down and kill pathogens inside. Additionally, Dr. Michael mentions symptoms of fungal issues such as fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, lung problems, gastrointestinal issues, dermatological conditions, liver overload leading to PMS symptoms, and migraines associated with fungal infections.


Dr. Michael shares personal experiences of searching for houses free from mold and provides tips on preventing mold infections. He also touches on addressing potential parasite or bacterial infections between partners and the need for personalized treatment plans.

The importance of nasal breathing in maintaining optimal health cannot be overstated. 
In this episode, Dr. Adam Del Torto, the founder of the Cranial Facial Release technique, highlights how his innovative approach mobilizes the cranial system to restore proper breathing passageways. By addressing fixations and torque within the 22 individual bones of the skull, Dr. Adam aims to alleviate neurological disorders and optimize brain function. Unlike conventional treatments, CFR tackles the root cause of issues rather than merely treating symptoms. 
Dr. Richard Stober's balloon nasal specific technique and Dr. Adam's CFR approach offer promising alternatives. We also discuss contraindications, compelling case studies, and training opportunities for doctors interested in this groundbreaking technique. Visit www.cranialfacialrelease.com, a valuable resource for patients and doctors, and invites practitioners to explore the potential of this game-changing method.
