  I wanted to literally explain to you from a conventional medicine practitioner View.
• 1:23
  Of how I see conventional medicine.
• 1:25
  And I know when you start listening to this podcast, you will resonate with everything that I'm saying.
• 1:29
  Because again, this is a.
• 1:30
  Not just mimicking this app is just what it is and that's the truth.
• 1:34
  So let's get into it.
• 1:35
  I am going to put a trigger alert out there because I will be discussing some things that my may, some people upset.
• 1:46
  But I feel like I am in the best position to do so, because I've been on both sides of the coin.
• 1:52
  So today we're going to talk about conventional medicine, the truth about conventional medicine and in our next podcast, we'll be discussing.

  Functional medicine, the truth.
• 2:02
  So when I say the truth, I'm going to be discussing about the pros and cons of conventional medicine today.
• 2:08
  And then our next podcast, I'm going to be discussing the pros and cons of functional medicine, because you need to know, you need to know you have options out there.
• 2:16
  You need to know what type of medicine.
• 2:19
  You need to educate yourself.
• 2:20
  You need to educate your loved ones.
• 2:22
  You need to really understand that.
• 2:24
  What am I getting myself into?
• 2:26
  Because many people will come to me and say, well, I saw my doctor.
• 2:30
  I didn't like the treatment we received.
• 2:32
  In the conventional space, or I spent thousands of dollars higher on the functional medicine doctor.
• 2:38
  And I didn't like the treatment either.
• 2:41
  And I felt like it was a waste of time.
• 2:42
  Waste of money, waste of everything.
• 2:45
  Not knowing that not all doctors are created equal.
• 2:49
  Yes.
• 2:49
  I am a strong advocate for functional medicine, but I'm also aware that not all functional medicine doctors are the best.
• 2:58
  We have some excellent conventional medicine that goes out there.
• 3:02
  They are passionate about helping people.
• 3:05
  We also have some that are burnt out that are overwhelmed.
• 3:08
  We also have some that came in into the profession for the money.
• 3:12
  We also have some digest tide of the whole.
• 3:14
  The Roxy of the whole management system.
• 3:19
  And they feel like they can't really do much because Hey, the livelihood is depends on the money they make in, but we have good, we have bad.
• 3:28
  We have like wonderful people, wonderful doctors in every single medicine.
• 3:34
  So when I am talking about conventional medicine, when I am.
• 3:38
  Shedding light on the cons.
• 3:40
  And also the pros.
• 3:42
  I don't want you to get upset.
• 3:44
  If you're a doctor listening to this podcast or watching this YouTube channel.
• 3:48
  If you watch it in the video portion of this.
• 3:50
  I don't want you to get upset.
• 3:52
  I am bringing to you the truth.
• 3:54
  And many of you, when you start listening to this, you will resonate with many things that I'm going to say today, because I was the conventional doctor who did exactly.
• 4:05
  When I'm going to talk to you about.
• 4:07
  That was me.
• 4:09
  Now it was me.
• 4:10
  I was the conventional doctor who was all about, Hey, let's see, 20 patients today.
• 4:15
  Let's do the bare minimum.
• 4:17
  Let's just give them the medication.
• 4:19
  Let's just send them out.
• 4:20
  Let's just admit them.
• 4:22
  Let's just refer them out.
• 4:23
  Like.
• 4:24
  I don't know what else to do for you.
• 4:26
  The conventional doctor, let me just.
• 4:28
  Give you a note, go see the next doctor.
• 4:30
  Maybe he or she can help you.
• 4:31
  If that one cannot help you then go to the next doctor.
• 4:34
  So I'm not here to judge any doctors to criticize anyone.
• 4:39
  I'm just letting you know, this is what it is.
• 4:42
  At least when I was practicing in the conventional space.
• 4:44
  That's what it was.
• 4:45
  And I know for sure today, with the way medicine is going, right.
• 4:51
  It is getting worse because not only I hear it for my patients, I also hear it for my colleagues, how unhappy, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled they are.
• 5:01
  And I also hear it from loved ones, family members.
• 5:05
  So I am going to be discussing today.
• 5:08
  All the things that many of us are faced with.
• 5:11
  If you.
• 5:12
  Can find it in your heart to agree.
• 5:15
  Or disagree.
• 5:16
  To one or two things.
• 5:17
  This is the podcast for you.
• 5:19
  Again, there's no judgment.
• 5:21
  The prepared patient podcast is not to judge people.
• 5:24
  Okay.
• 5:25
  Is to give you the patient, the caregiver, the loved ones.
• 5:28
  And it's also a podcast where I can just bring all my expertise to help you navigate, to help you make decisions.
• 5:35
  Because I'm all about personal power.
• 5:38
  I am all about weight gain in your house back.
• 5:41
  I'm all about being in charge of what matters to you, the most important aspect of your life.
• 5:47
  Which is your health?
• 5:49
  This is what this podcast is, to empower you to open your eyes and to let you know, Nope, you don't have to deal with this specific situation the way it has, you know, you've been dealing with it.
• 5:59
  You in charge.
• 6:01
  It is your health.
• 6:01
  It is your life.
• 6:02
  Whatever involves you, you in control.
• 6:05
  All right.
• 6:06
  So if that wasn't it with you.
• 6:08
  And new, ready to listen to the cons and the pros, let's get started.
• 6:12
  Before we dig in, let's talk about my personal reasons for using conventional medicine and why do we need to use it?
• 6:20
  Because we have space for both.
• 6:21
  We have space for conventional.
• 6:23
  We also have space for functional holistic integrative medicine.
• 6:28
  Conventional medicine to me.
• 6:30
  My personal philosophy, my beliefs.
• 6:33
  It's only to be used in an emergency situation.
• 6:38
  If you have a heart attack, you having a heart attack, you have a stroke.
• 6:41
  Please go to the conventional space.
• 6:44
  Go to the emergency room, you're going to get the most.
• 6:47
  The proper care.
• 6:48
  If you have a laceration.
• 6:51
  Please go.
• 6:53
  Go to an urgent care and to go get suited at an urgent care.
• 6:56
  If you have in a panic attack and you don't have any thing going on, like.
• 7:01
  You don't have any coping mechanism and you don't know why you having a panic attack and is increasing.
• 7:06
  Please go to the urgent care or the emergency room.
• 7:10
  They'll give you some medication to stabilize you.
• 7:12
  If you haven't allergic reaction.
• 7:14
  Anaphylactic shock where your throat is closing on you.
• 7:18
  Your mouth is swollen up.
• 7:20
  Like you cannot breathe.
• 7:21
  Okay, this is not a space for functional medicine.
• 7:24
  You need to go see a doctor.
• 7:26
  You need to go to conventional doctor.
• 7:28
  You need to go to an urgent care.
• 7:30
  You need to go to the emergency room.
• 7:32
  To me, these are the most important reasons for us to use conventional medicine in an emergency situation for serious illnesses, you need to use.
• 7:41
  Conventional medicine.
• 7:44
  If you have in a acid reflux.
• 7:47
  Or you have gas bloat.
• 7:48
  Oh, you have headaches migraine, or you have joint pain or other.
• 7:54
  Non serious.
• 7:55
  Photo.
• 7:56
  Conditions you don't need conventional medicine.
• 8:01
  That's where holistic integrative medicine comes into place.
• 8:06
  Okay.
• 8:06
  Because at the end of the day, we're all about identifying the root cause of your headaches and migraine.
• 8:12
  Have your acid reflux of your chronic fatigue of your brain fog.
• 8:16
  Of your bloat.
• 8:18
  And not just take a pill and patch it up, put an abandoned on it.
• 8:23
  We don't want to do that.
• 8:25
  So conventional medicine has this beautiful use.
• 8:29
  I highly recommend for the proper usage of it.
• 8:33
  But when it comes to really healing your body, At the cellular level at the deep core.
• 8:39
  I don't think conventional medicine is going to do that for you.
• 8:41
  As a matter of fact, I know conventional medicine will not help you.
• 8:44
  Because.
• 8:44
  With conventional medicine, we get in a pill.
• 8:46
  Right.
• 8:47
  Let's that with the pros.
• 8:49
  Pro of conventional medicine, it is easily accessible.
• 8:53
  There's a doctor everywhere at every single corner.
• 8:57
  They are thousands and millions and millions of doctors.
• 9:00
  So conventional medicine.
• 9:02
  I can be easily accessible.
• 9:03
  You have a headache.
• 9:04
  You can go see a doctor.
• 9:05
  It is.
• 9:06
  The most common medicine and all of us, including myself, have been evaluated or treated by a conventional doctor and that's the first thing we think of when we have aches and pains.
• 9:18
  I have palpitations.
• 9:19
  Anxiety.
• 9:19
  Let me call my doctor.
• 9:20
  And you say, let me call my doctor.
• 9:23
  You are referring to conventional.
• 9:24
  Medicine.
• 9:25
  You can just Google one that is closer to you.
• 9:28
  You pick up the phone, you schedule an appointment and you go.
• 9:31
  So it is the most easily accessible.
• 9:33
  Okay.
• 9:33
  And the doctors.
• 9:35
  Highly trained.
• 9:36
  Right.
• 9:36
  We have specialists for every single part of our bodies.
• 9:39
  You have a specialist.
• 9:41
  Where your brain.
• 9:42
  Your heart, your lungs, your eyes, your ears, your pancreas, your stomach, your.
• 9:48
  Your GI issues.
• 9:49
  And you have specialists for every single part.
• 9:51
  Because in the conventional space or Western medicine space, we don't see the body as a whole.
• 9:57
  That we don't.
• 9:58
  That is why.
• 9:58
  When you go to your primary care doctor, can only do the bare minimum for you.
• 10:03
  And it's going to refer you out to the specialist.
• 10:07
  If you have diabetes, you go see an endocrinologist.
• 10:10
  But if whatever the primary care doctor is doing for you is not managing your disease.
• 10:15
  Your.
• 10:15
  Illness, then he, or she will refer you to the specialist that takes care of that organ all day long.
• 10:21
  So.
• 10:21
  Again, that can be a con conventional medicine is not seen as a holistic medicine.
• 10:27
  It's like pieces of the puzzle.
• 10:29
  For every single piece of the puzzle, you go see the expert.
• 10:33
  I'm not a pool of conventional medicine.
• 10:35
  It is covered by insurance.
• 10:37
  Many except insurance.
• 10:39
  What is in network or out of network or Medicare or charity care.
• 10:44
  And she wants to cover part of it.
• 10:46
  Because as we know now, and she was as uncovered everything anymore because our half care is so expensive right now it's a billion dollar industry and she wins companies fill.
• 10:56
  They losing money.
• 10:57
  So they have a lot more denial.
• 10:59
  Right, which we'll talk about in a few, but you can get some of your care covered by insurance, whether you have Medicaid, charity care, but conventional medicine is covered by insurance.
• 11:12
  So, therefore there's no huge out of pocket expenses.
• 11:15
  You're not paying your doctor thousands of dollars.
• 11:18
  Upfront.
• 11:19
  You're not doing that because it is covered by insurance.
• 11:21
  You might have.
• 11:22
  Copay.
• 11:23
  $20 copay,$25 copay, 65.
• 11:26
  There's a copay, but you're not giving them hundreds of dollars.
• 11:30
  Unless.
• 11:31
  Your care is not covered by insurance, then yes, you will have to pay the bill.
• 11:36
  Your insurance company is denying it.
• 11:38
  Yes.
• 11:38
  You will have to find a few thousands of dollars, hundreds of dollars.
• 11:42
  But generally.
• 11:43
  It's governed by insurance.
• 11:45
  Also covers some of your medications.
• 11:47
  Some because I'm hearing from patients now that all the medications are not fully covered sometimes you might have to pay something out of pocket for that medication.
• 11:56
  So these are the pros, like the good of conventional medicine.
• 12:00
  It is easily accessible.
• 12:02
  You are dealing with highly trained the specialist.
• 12:04
  You can find a conventional doctors in every single corner.
• 12:08
  There are thousands of them.
• 12:09
  That is the first space we go to when we have aches and pains or when we don't understand what's going on in our bodies, it is covered by insurance.
• 12:16
  So therefore the financial burden is not a hundred percent on you.
• 12:20
  You don't have to find the money, a lot of money right away to pay your doctor.
• 12:24
  Many doctors take.
• 12:26
  You know, Medicaid and charity care.
• 12:28
  There's no huge out of pocket expense.
• 12:30
  So you only have to focus about paying your copay.
• 12:33
  And some of my.
• 12:34
  Medications that are prescribed by a doctor is also covered by insurance.
• 12:39
  Ah, let's talk about the cons.
• 12:40
  I have quite a few.
• 12:42
  Quite a few of the ugliness of conventional medicine.
• 12:47
  And again, if you listen to this podcast and you will resonate with at least three or five of them, Because these have been collected from hearing from my patients again, from being a conventional participant myself, I used to do all of this.
• 13:02
  And my patients are reporting similar.
• 13:04
  Information to me.
• 13:06
  Okay.
• 13:06
  So the first one is shorter visit.
• 13:08
  Yes.
• 13:09
  When you go to see your doctor.
• 13:11
  They are not spending hours with you.
• 13:13
  It's not happening unless you get a surgical procedure.
• 13:17
  Your conventional doctor, your primary care doctor, they have shorter visits.
• 13:21
  You might spend minutes, a lot of maybe an hour waiting in the waiting area, but they showed a visit.
• 13:27
  There's no real human relationship or connection with your doctors.
• 13:30
  It is where we are now for a doctor to remember you because they are helping so many patients.
• 13:36
  They might remember you.
• 13:37
  If you come often.
• 13:39
  Right.
• 13:39
  If you keep coming back and keep coming back and keep asking questions, you keep looking for answers.
• 13:44
  Telling her doctor I'm still feeling the same way.
• 13:47
  I still have to pay on this.
• 13:48
  Medications are not working.
• 13:49
  Please help me then yes, the doctor might remember you, but if you do your yearly visit, Or you go twice per year.
• 13:56
  Then they don't remember you.
• 13:57
  And most often, if your doctor's in a group practice where you have to see multiple doctors within the group, that definitely know.
• 14:06
  Recognize you, because today my see Jane next time you go.
• 14:08
  You're going to see Mary or my see Dr.
• 14:11
  Joe.
• 14:12
  So you seen multiple practitioners and this practitioner has to rely on the information on your chart to remember you to remember your specific health issues or situation.
• 14:23
  Right.
• 14:23
  So patients are not being heard or listened to.
• 14:26
  You know how many times.
• 14:27
  My patients would tell me without the J I tried to explain to the doctor.
• 14:31
  I tried to explain to them that the what's going on with me when this thing started.
• 14:34
  They're not listening to me.
• 14:36
  When I talk to the doctor, I'm not headed for a pill.
• 14:38
  They just dismiss me.
• 14:39
  I feel like I am.
• 14:40
  Like a dummy belittled.
• 14:42
  So, not only, they're not listening to me, but I felt so dumb.
• 14:46
  I feel uneducated.
• 14:47
  You know how many times I hear that.
• 14:48
  If I have a penny, then I'll be rich by now.
• 14:52
  Before all the time I hear this story.
• 14:54
  Which is true.
• 14:55
  Again, I was the doctor that was spent five to 10 minutes with the patient.
• 14:59
  Looking at a computer typing up, whatever they telling me they were reporting to me.
• 15:04
  I will have the nurse through most of the work.
• 15:06
  The preparation, like taking your vital signs.
• 15:09
  Putting you in a gown.
• 15:10
  You know, like taking the UN sample and then I'll come in.
• 15:13
  Or have you complete a form then I'll come in and just ask you questions straight from the form.
• 15:18
  There's no Wil investigation.
• 15:21
  Taking place.
• 15:22
  If you have a headache.
• 15:23
  You have a headache?
• 15:25
  What is the characteristic of the headache?
• 15:27
  Is it front?
• 15:27
  Is it back?
• 15:28
  Is it on the side?
• 15:29
  Is it pounding?
• 15:30
  Do you have There's so many, like I've mastered and remembered exactly what I learned in school.
• 15:36
  I memorize many of these things.
• 15:37
  So when I am.
• 15:38
  In front of a patient.
• 15:39
  I know exactly what to ask and I'm getting it straight from the textbook.
• 15:42
  So there's no real human connection.
• 15:44
  Sometimes I wouldn't even make eye contact because I'm in the computer.
• 15:47
  I need to type up all this information because I have.
• 15:50
  Three other people waiting for me.
• 15:52
  And I need to go.
• 15:53
  This is will truth.
• 15:54
  Here we are being honest here.
• 15:57
  So patients are live in doctor's offices with confusion.
• 16:00
  Can you remember last time you actually understood.
• 16:03
  What was going on with you?
• 16:04
  When did that?
• 16:05
  They said, well, you have diabetes.
• 16:06
  I have diabetes because I do my sugar.
• 16:08
  I need to take shit out of my diet, but diabetes is not about taking sugar out of your diet.
• 16:13
  It is one at a tiny piece of it.
• 16:14
  There's so much involved when you are diabetic.
• 16:17
  There's so much.
• 16:17
  You have to understand when you have high blood pressure.
• 16:20
  When you have Hashimoto thyroiditis, when you have cancer.
• 16:23
  So sometimes I'll ask my patients.
• 16:24
  I'm like, well, what is the root cause of your diabetes?
• 16:27
  They can't tell me.
• 16:28
  Did you adapt the check your insulin?
• 16:29
  Nope.
• 16:30
  My doctor only checked my hemoglobin A1C.
• 16:33
  My glucose.
• 16:33
  That's it.
• 16:34
  Okay, well, that is not enough for us to see the world because of your diabetes.
• 16:38
  Right.
• 16:38
  So there's lack of clarity about the disease and diagnosis.
• 16:42
  You ask the patient, you ask the human being, you have to understand what's going on in your body so you can understand why the treatment is going to work and why not this medications or the treatment is not the proper treatment for you.
• 16:54
  You have to have understanding.
• 16:56
  You have to understand.
• 16:57
  And we don't see that a lot.
• 16:58
  So patients are living in doctor's offices, severely confused.
• 17:01
  Well, the doctor was the best went to school and he's an expert.
• 17:05
  And let me just go to the pharmacy and get the medications.
• 17:08
  Right.
• 17:08
  But that there's a human being just like us.
• 17:11
  They are not the best when it comes to your body.
• 17:13
  You know your body more than any doctor.
• 17:15
  As a matter of fact, as a doctor, we need to depend on you to help us help you.
• 17:19
  With your body.
• 17:19
  So I need to ask you the proper questions because you live with your body for so many years.
• 17:23
  You know, What happened prior to you getting the symptoms?
• 17:27
  So I need your help.
• 17:28
  So do not mistaken.
• 17:30
  That you don't know your body and you have to.
• 17:32
  Depend on somebody else that is I exterior.
• 17:35
  To tell you about your body.
• 17:36
  So there's a lot of confusions when you leave your doctor's office.
• 17:39
  Most people don't understand.
• 17:40
  They would tell me, I don't know why.
• 17:42
  So, if you don't know why then how do you know the treatment's going to work?
• 17:44
  I didn't know the medication is going to work.
• 17:46
  Well, the doctor prescribed it.
• 17:47
  I'm just going to take it.
• 17:48
  I don't know.
• 17:49
  And that's why we still say that's why we have so many medical errors, medication errors out there.
• 17:54
  That's why I will have care so expensive.
• 17:56
  And that insurance is fighting back.
• 17:58
  They're not covering many of the things.
• 17:59
  Copays going up.
• 18:00
  But then she was company claims are going up.
• 18:03
  And you find yourself finding the money.
• 18:05
  And that is why doctors are really doing less because they want to get reimbursed.
• 18:09
  They want to get paid.
• 18:09
  They have priorities.
• 18:10
  Responsibilities bills just like anybody else.
• 18:14
  Therefore they're going to give you the things that they think that might be covered by insurance.
• 18:17
  So the insurance.
• 18:18
  We'll cover, but at the end of the day, you need more than that.
• 18:21
  The next con is there's no education.
• 18:23
  We should just talk about, right.
• 18:24
  You need to understand so he can be compliant.
• 18:27
  Understand the treatment protocol.
• 18:28
  With conventional medicine, focus on the basic with the basic blood work, examination.
• 18:33
  There's no root cause evaluation.
• 18:35
  There's no digging deeper, evaluating the underlying cause of anything.
• 18:39
  You have a stomach issues, you have acid reflux.
• 18:41
  Let me give you Nexium.
• 18:42
  You have high blood pressure.
• 18:43
  Let's try everything.
• 18:44
  You have diabetes?
• 18:45
  Let's do.
• 18:45
  Metformin.
• 18:46
  Glipizide.
• 18:47
  Let's do, I don't know the latest medication that's out there.
• 18:50
  Let's do insulin.
• 18:51
  So, but we still don't understand why though.
• 18:53
  Why are we getting the symptoms?
• 18:55
  Why do we have this?
• 18:56
  We don't?
• 18:57
  That does a overwhelm.
• 18:58
  Oh my goodness they are burnt out now specific since COVID happens.
• 19:03
  If we're going to be honest with ourselves, they are burnt out and overwhelmed.
• 19:06
  Because of that.
• 19:07
  Cause they have so many demands.
• 19:09
  They don't have the support that they need.
• 19:11
  So that decrease in job satisfaction.
• 19:13
  Decrease of quality of life.
• 19:15
  There's depression, anxiety with the doctors, even if the money is good.
• 19:18
  I was getting paid really good, working for a magnet hospital, a teaching hospital.
• 19:24
  But I was unhappy.
• 19:25
  I was very unhappy.
• 19:26
  So money doesn't buy happiness, right?
• 19:28
  Money is a tool that we use.
• 19:30
  To help us live a great quality life, to afford the things that we want.
• 19:34
  But if you have no.
• 19:35
  Fulfillment.
• 19:36
  You're not happy what you're doing you cannot provide the care that you want.
• 19:40
  Because you don't want to fall behind.
• 19:42
  Or the insurance company didn't want to pay you.
• 19:44
  That is a losing the love and the passion the ones have for medicine.
• 19:48
  And that is a subject that is not discussed enough in the medical field.
• 19:52
  But it is there.
• 19:52
  I was one of them.
• 19:53
  I know many of my colleagues, I speak to them.
• 19:55
  I talk to them.
• 19:56
  They tell me exactly the same thing.
• 19:57
  Many of them lost the lives.
• 19:58
  Got stakes since COVID.
• 19:59
  Because they met while they want it to do well for our patients.
• 20:02
  So they went in there and help people.
• 20:04
  And they ended up having the virus themselves because again, with the stress.
• 20:08
  And not taking care of themselves properly.
• 20:10
  Not having enough support because people live in the profession.
• 20:12
  The great.
• 20:13
  Detonation.
• 20:14
  People I live in medicine.
• 20:15
  They're not happy anymore.
• 20:16
  There's a shortage medical practitioners now.
• 20:19
  So we conventional medicine on focuses on disease management there's no proper treatment.
• 20:24
  There's no elimination of symptoms there's no problem solving.
• 20:27
  We give you a pill for every ill.
• 20:28
  There's a medication for every single thing.
• 20:31
  So therefore it has no proper treatment of symptoms.
• 20:34
  First, we don't know the gold costs.
• 20:35
  So how are we going to treat?
• 20:36
  We just give you a pill.
• 20:37
  We're prescription of the pill.
• 20:39
  You're putting yourself at risk for side effects.
• 20:41
  Every single medications out there, you can Google and you'll see all the side effects.
• 20:46
  If you just start taking the medications and now you seeing.
• 20:49
  New symptoms you never had before.
• 20:51
  That's a side effects the FDA makes it so that you understand what you put into your body.
• 20:55
  By making the information available on the intranet.
• 21:00
  Because you have more side effects, you need more medications.
• 21:03
  Therefore you have more disease.
• 21:04
  Many times we start with one pill.
• 21:06
  We ended up having five pills.
• 21:08
  How, how is that possible?
• 21:10
  When I went to the doctor for one thing, Now I'm taking multiple pills for multiple illnesses.
• 21:15
  I have high blood pressure.
• 21:17
  The doctor gave me something for cholesterol.
• 21:18
  Or for diabetes.
• 21:19
  Now my stomach is not working properly.
• 21:22
  Have acid reflux.
• 21:23
  Give me something for acid reflux.
• 21:24
  So you see how we have a trifecta effect.
• 21:27
  You start with one thing and then we studied.
• 21:29
  Taking multiple things.
• 21:30
  Therefore become a slave to the pills.
• 21:32
  Because if you don't take the pills, you stop taking the pills, your symptoms will come back.
• 21:36
  Now, if the medication is working for you.
• 21:38
  And you're getting the vitality, the stamina, the energy, and you can get up and go and do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it with full of life and energy.
• 21:46
  Please continue taking the medication.
• 21:48
  But I know for many of us.
• 21:49
  There's medication.
• 21:50
  I'm not working for us.
• 21:51
  Not at all.
• 21:52
  Conventional medicine is sisters and brothers of big pharma.
• 21:56
  And the insurance industry.
• 21:57
  The three organizations, they are very.
• 22:00
  We let it.
• 22:00
  They lack siblings.
• 22:02
  You will not find conventional medicine without big pharma or the insurance.
• 22:06
  One is paying for your care.
• 22:07
  One is giving you the pills to keep you sick.
• 22:09
  And the other one is just.
• 22:11
  Dictating what goes on.
• 22:12
  In your life.
• 22:13
  They have a say so about your care.
• 22:15
  They don't know much about you and the quality of life you desire, but yet they get to tell you what to do.
• 22:21
  Insurance company tells doctors how to take care of you.
• 22:24
  You know why discovered.
• 22:25
  I had a patient.
• 22:26
  I was taking care of her daughter, had a heart disease.
• 22:29
  And the daughter couldn't afford the medication.
• 22:31
  And unfortunately she passed away.
• 22:33
  Because the insurance would not pay for the medication.
• 22:35
  That is sad.
• 22:36
  That is so sad.
• 22:37
  Nobody should lose the lives.
• 22:38
  Because of the third party.
• 22:40
  Not.
• 22:41
  Pain not covering that reimbursing for something that you need.
• 22:44
  If you think you have insurance and you're all squared, because insurance is paying for everything.
• 22:48
  I would love for you to sit.
• 22:49
  Take note, take inventory.
• 22:51
  How much is your insurance paying for?
• 22:53
  Because the care that insurance is paying for, it's not the care that you happy with.
• 22:56
  I hear so many stories of, I have good insurance, but yet I went to see my doctor I still don't know what's going on with me I wasn't being taken care of properly.
• 23:04
  I'm still confused.
• 23:05
  I just get handed a pill.
• 23:07
  Why I saw the insurance pay for you know, with conventional practitioners, you get in a pill.
• 23:12
  Cause that's the only way they can help you.
• 23:13
  Okay.
• 23:14
  So within having a close relationship, they get to tell you how you should be living your life.
• 23:19
  What is covered.
• 23:20
  What's not covered when you should go see the doctor.
• 23:22
  What medication you take?
• 23:23
  So that's why we have brand name, medication, and generic.
• 23:26
  If the insurance doesn't cover the brand name, medication, then you get to have the generic, which is slightly different.
• 23:32
  It's that you have organic food and then organic food.
• 23:35
  If you don't have money, you purchase the non-organic foods that has a lot of toxins in it.
• 23:38
  That's the same thing with medications.
• 23:40
  You have brand.
• 23:41
  Named medication and none in generic medications.
• 23:44
  All right.
• 23:44
  So patients in the conventional space are not empowered to take charge of the health.
• 23:49
  No way they are not.
• 23:50
  There's no education.
• 23:52
  There's no student down with your doctor.
• 23:53
  To explain to you in terms that you can understand what's going on in your body.
• 23:57
  They don't do any of that stuff.
• 23:59
  They don't have time.
• 24:00
  They have so many people waiting for them.
• 24:01
  There's no huge emphasize.
• 24:03
  I'm making lifestyle changes.
• 24:05
  So, therefore we stay sick.
• 24:07
  And the last thing about the cons.
• 24:10
  Is that conventional medicine is very expensive.
• 24:14
  Yes, it is.
• 24:14
  I know you're listening to this.
• 24:16
  You might be saying, oh no, it's not.
• 24:18
  Because insurance companies expensive.
• 24:20
  And students college is expensive.
• 24:22
  Add all the copays.
• 24:23
  At all the money you spend for medication the money they take out of your paycheck and add all the taxpayers money.
• 24:29
  All the claims, all the bills that you have laying on the table waiting to get paid.
• 24:33
  All the stress and the frustration.
• 24:35
  Right.
• 24:36
  That's an expense is very expensive.
• 24:39
  And sometimes it goes to the doctor.
• 24:41
  We pay$20 here,$50 there, it adds up.
• 24:44
  But you still not getting the care that you want.
• 24:47
  I'm going to say that again.
• 24:48
  It is expensive.
• 24:49
  What do you have insurance or not?
• 24:50
  Somebody has to pay for it.
• 24:52
  And taxes are going up.
• 24:53
  All right.
• 24:53
  Chaos limited.
• 24:54
  You don't get the top quality care.
• 24:56
  It's not completely covered by insurance, right?
• 24:58
  When someone is in charge of any aspects of your life.
• 25:02
  That takes away your power.
• 25:04
  The deciding for you to have full control of your decision-making.
• 25:07
  Most often you have to consult with the insurance company.
• 25:09
  You have to call them up and see if this is covered.
• 25:11
  That is covered.
• 25:12
  They shouldn't be that way.
• 25:13
  Right.
• 25:13
  You should just get up and go see a doctor and get the best care needed.
• 25:17
  For you because you are one.
• 25:19
  Human being you deserve the best.
• 25:21
  You're bad is the most important vessel.
• 25:23
  Now, if you want to make money, you need your body to work for you.
• 25:26
  It's not the case with conventional medicine.
• 25:28
  Right.
• 25:28
  You need to ask for permission.
• 25:30
  You asking the doctor?
• 25:31
  For formation, you ask them big pharma for permission by taking the medication.
• 25:34
  You asking for insurance people permission.
• 25:36
  You ask him for permission everywhere you go.
• 25:38
  Because there's a higher.
• 25:41
  Risk with conventional medicine that does have to pay higher.
• 25:45
  My practice.
• 25:46
  Insurance.
• 25:47
  You didn't with chemicals, there's medications or chemicals.
• 25:50
  And that's why most of them, when you look at the commercials on the TV, they'll tell you this may damage the kidneys.
• 25:56
  This may Legion.
• 25:57
  Renal failure that that's.
• 25:59
  Yeah.
• 25:59
  I mean, when you go to your doctor, you, ask him for help.
• 26:02
  You don't ask for kidney failure.
• 26:03
  You do not ask for your body to fall off.
• 26:06
  You go in for one thing, and there are medications out there giving people cancer.
• 26:09
  And that's why sometimes they have to do, we calls the other day that we called on a blood pressure medication.
• 26:14
  The patient was telling me.
• 26:15
  Right because they realize, by you taking this medication, something else would definitely go haywire.
• 26:21
  You have more symptoms, disease side effects, more everything.
• 26:25
  So let's go move the medication.
• 26:26
  With conventional medicine there's a higher medical neglect.
• 26:29
  And injustice.
• 26:30
  Many patients are not being cared for properly.
• 26:33
  You go to the doctor, you do your blood work, and then you anticipate in somebody calling you back and no one calls you back with the results.
• 26:40
  If they do call you back, they tell you everything is normal.
• 26:42
  But yet when you're looking at the results of the blood work, there's so many red and bold letters and highs and lows, and you're like, what?
• 26:50
  Or if the doctor does basic blood work, not really checking for what's going on.
• 26:54
  When you look at those thoughts, like, oh yeah, everything's normal.
• 26:57
  Then it must be me.
• 26:58
  Something's wrong with me.
• 26:59
  Because everything else is no.
• 27:00
  No that's medical neglect.
• 27:02
  That's medical injustice.
• 27:04
  With the conventional space, you are viewed as a number.
• 27:07
  There's no welcome passion, no real understanding for what you're going through.
• 27:10
  Many of us, when we go see an expert, we must that person to understand our pain.
• 27:15
  We want that person to have some compassion.
• 27:18
  Okay.
• 27:18
  I got you.
• 27:19
  I'm here for you.
• 27:20
  We're going to do this together.
• 27:22
  Right.
• 27:22
  That's what we want.
• 27:24
  We don't leave our house to go see.
• 27:26
  In somebody's room or to get, spend hours in a stretcher in emergency room or urgent care to be waiting for hours.
• 27:32
  And not for that person.
• 27:33
  That's happiness navigating.
• 27:35
  That will have not to have compassion.
• 27:36
  That's no.
• 27:38
  You want someone to understand, to feel you.
• 27:40
  To take time, to slow down.
• 27:43
  Time and just to listen to you to actually spend a few minutes, listening to you.
• 27:47
  We don't see that often in the conventional space.
• 27:49
  And it's all about quick fixes.
• 27:52
  And put in abandoned and everything.
• 27:54
  And there's no wheel healing even if you take this medication, your symptoms go away, a quote unquote.
• 27:59
  You know, go away.
• 28:00
  When you stopped taking the medication, they come back.
• 28:03
  So how are you healing?
• 28:04
  Are you really healing?
• 28:05
  Can you really sit with yourself and say, yes, I'm healed.
• 28:07
  That is why there's a movement.
• 28:09
  So many people are refusing to take tons of medications.
• 28:12
  They are not about taking a pill for everything.
• 28:15
  They want us as the practitioners that those do.
• 28:17
  We.
• 28:18
  Give them options.
• 28:19
  Yes, let's take the medications for a few weeks now.
• 28:23
  But why we take this medications let's work on something else.
• 28:26
  Let's work on identifying the true, true cause of this disease state.
• 28:30
  Okay, because as we know, there are multiple things to get you the same results and the same outcome.
• 28:36
  We never focused on one thing.
• 28:37
  We can use multiple avenues, multiple routes to give us the outcome that we desire.
• 28:43
  When you put all your eggs in one basket.
• 28:46
  You missing out.
• 28:47
  But when you're open for the opportunity, the possibility that you can heal your body and you can take.
• 28:53
  Charge of your half, you can care for yourself by using multiple tools.
• 28:57
  Then you get.
• 28:58
  The rip.
• 28:59
  The benefits.
• 29:00
  Conventional medicine is here for emergencies.
• 29:04
  For serious illnesses medication.
• 29:06
  So here to stabilize you to give you a breather, to decrease the stress, the internal stress, your body is dealing with.
• 29:12
  But both of these things should not be.
• 29:15
  I utilize.
• 29:16
  Long term.
• 29:17
  They shouldn't be the only thing you focus on and that's why we are still sick.
• 29:20
  That is why cancer is rampant right now.
• 29:23
  That is why people are frustrated.
• 29:25
  They are anxious.
• 29:26
  That is why we cannot heal our bodies from this virus.
• 29:28
  And we keep getting infections after infections, after infections.
• 29:31
  Because we have not really identified the wood cause we have not really healed.
• 29:35
  We have not supported.
• 29:36
  We've been focusing on quick fixes.
• 29:38
  And then gratification.
• 29:39
  And these things are killing us.
• 29:41
  By the minute.
• 29:42
  It's decreasing their quality of life.
• 29:44
  It's not providing the care that we still love and what we're not thriving in our house anymore.
• 29:49
  And when you focus on insurance depending on insurance to pay for everything.
• 29:53
  We're not being realistic.
• 29:54
  Maybe your insurance pays for everything.
• 29:56
  That's awesome.
• 29:57
  But do you know someone else that's been struggling?
• 30:00
  That's been fighting with the insurance company.
• 30:02
  It has to find the money for the copay.
• 30:04
  There has, has a bill.
• 30:05
  You know, so many people that are denying care.
• 30:08
  The doctor has to tell them.
• 30:09
  So yeah.
• 30:09
  She doesn't cover.
• 30:10
  We can not do this test because your insurance doesn't cover.
• 30:12
  Or we need a prequalification, pre-cert certification as a human being with the Def the basket, there's everything that we need.
• 30:19
  For, I still have the quality of life that we desire.
• 30:21
  You're like, okay, well, I've tried to conventional space.
