Latest / Unleashing Intuition Secrets / Highlight Reel of Suicide 101 — David Wilcock, Trauma & PTSD Insights from Brain-Based Therapist Terrina Picarello
Transcript
- 0:01Hello everyone, it's Michael Jaco with Unleashing Intuition Secrets.
- 0:04Joined once again by Tarina Picarillo and we're, having a nice little
- 0:09conversation just before we get started.
- 0:12And it's been a while since you've been on Tarina.
- 0:14Yeah.
- 0:15So I'm gonna give a little bit background on you.
- 0:18Experience and expertise across many di disciplines enables her to offer effective
- 0:24indivi, individualized outpatient psychological care and consultation.
- 0:29She treats a number of mental health disorders and provides a safe and caring
- 0:34pla place for individuals, families, and couples to create their best life.
- 0:40And her treatment focus is brain-based care and mental health nutrition.
- 0:45And Trina's actually helped me my little,
- 0:48yes.
- 0:48Brain fog.
- 0:49So she's, I've been using this for several years, thanks to her.
- 0:53I'm not perfect, I'm much better, I think, because of it.
- 0:56Thank you, ENA.
- 0:57And yeah, if
- 0:58you think about the history of your brain, right?
- 1:00And then
- 1:00that's right.
- 1:02Ptsd, TSD and all that kind of stuff, brain trauma from
- 1:04blowing brain injuries up, yeah.
- 1:06Yeah.
- 1:06You fantastic with that.
- 1:07She's brain-based.
- 1:09The, she's a brain-based therapist.
- 1:11Yeah.
- 1:11And first looks at the function of the brain systems as a
- 1:15baseline for the treatment plan.
- 1:17Torina works closely with the Amin Amen clinics and is trained as a brain health
- 1:23coach and mental health nutritionist.
- 1:26In some cases, a computerized assessment of brain function and
- 1:30resilience to stress is recommended.
- 1:33If there are issues in these areas, a brain training program
- 1:36can be customized for each client.
- 1:39This is very helpful in couples counseling.
- 1:42Often there is brain-based issue with one or both partners.
- 1:47And when this is addressed, many relational issues are resolved.
- 1:52So Trina great.
- 1:54Great to have you back on again.
- 1:55Yeah.
- 1:55There's
- 1:56a lot of stuff going on.
- 1:57How have you been?
- 1:57Been good.
- 1:58Been good?
- 2:01Yes.
- 2:01I'm officially an empty nester, so I'm adjusting to not having
- 2:05kids underfoot and all that.
- 2:07And that's where I'm at.
- 2:08I'm 60 years old, so I'm in that place in my life.
- 2:11But, just also staying busy.
- 2:14Very good.
- 2:15Yeah.
- 2:16So you can see why, 'cause your expertise is fantastic.
- 2:18So I, I can't imagine you being if you want to be
- 2:21Yeah.
- 2:22Sedentary or not doing anything.
- 2:25Yeah, I li it's fun to, have somebody come in with something and be really stuck
- 2:30and then be able to get them unstuck.
- 2:32It's pretty fun.
- 2:33Yeah.
- 2:33I like doing it.
- 2:34It's very rewarding.
- 2:36But, thinking about just all of us taking care of ourselves, now in a
- 2:41way, I like to share this information.
- 2:43I didn't come up with this stuff that maybe I'll show you today.
- 2:47I learned from great people and it's always fun, to actually take a
- 2:52training and it actually be helpful, and you take a training and then
- 2:55you can actually use it right away.
- 2:58I've just been real fortunate to have really good teachers and it just works.
- 3:01The more people that can just learn about this, then, somebody will learn
- 3:05something today and pass it on, and we're all in this together, and we're all just
- 3:08trying to, help each other and figure it.
- 3:11Yeah,
- 3:11definitely.
- 3:13We talked a little bit about David Wilcock and, Yeah.
- 3:16The situation now suicide 1 0 1.
- 3:19Give us the background.
- 3:21Yeah.
- 3:21Obviously I heard about David Wilcock and what happened with him, and I
- 3:26have a personal reaction to that.
- 3:28I have a person too, outside of being a therapist.
- 3:31And my personal reaction was, really sad and really upset and
- 3:36really impacted, it affected me.
- 3:38And David Wilcox is somebody that I've ran across in different things that I'm, some
- 3:44of the things that I'm doing as continuing education as a therapist, but sometimes
- 3:47just what I'm interested in as a person.
- 3:50And I think the way that I ran across him, I was trying to think
- 3:55about where did I even start?
- 3:56Learning about him, but Bruce Lipton, you know who he is?
- 4:01Oh yeah.
- 4:01So he is somebody that talks a lot about brain-based stuff and he talks about a
- 4:07lot of the sciencey stuff about how to be an actualized person and spirituality.
- 4:14And he blends spirituality with science.
- 4:16He's a cell biologist.
- 4:19So I think the first way that I learned about David was through
- 4:25Bio Osmosis, through Bruce Lipton, where sometimes Bruce Lipton
- 4:29and Greg Braden is another one.
- 4:32Yep.
- 4:32Great.
- 4:32That I've known for a really long time, maybe 20 years.
- 4:36And.
- 4:36You tend to see that Greg Braden and Bruce Lipton will probably
- 4:40present at a similar conference.
- 4:42Like we're all familiar.
- 4:43We go to a certain conference, there are certain speakers that are
- 4:46clustered around a certain topic.
- 4:48And so there's things that I would go to that were more science and as
- 4:53a brain, the brain geek that I am, I'm obviously really into the science
- 4:57part of things, but I liked about them that they would blend the science part
- 5:01of, being a person and consciousness and, being a conscious, aware person
- 5:07and spirituality and all that.
- 5:09So I think the way that I ran across David Wilcock was through watching things where
- 5:14I would maybe see one of them speaking.
- 5:17And and then he would also be presented.
- 5:19And then I think on Gaia, of course.
- 5:21Yep.
- 5:22Bruce Lipton would be on there.
- 5:24Greg Braden was on there.
- 5:25I've read all their books and very familiar with their stuff, and
- 5:28I use a lot of, for sure, those two Bruce Lipton and Greg Braden.
- 5:33I use a lot of their stuff in my practice as a psychotherapist all the time.
- 5:39And Greg Braden is,
- 5:41The nice part of that is you're very spiritual minded.
- 5:44Yeah.
- 5:44Yeah.
- 5:45So I love that, integration.
- 5:46That's very good.
- 5:47Yeah.
- 5:48My first master's degree.
- 5:50Was in spiritual psychology.
- 5:52Wow.
- 5:52So when I decided to be a therapist, I actually,
- 5:55I had no idea there was such a thing.
- 5:56That's amazing.
- 5:56I know.
- 5:57There, there isn't now.
- 5:58It was a thing for a minute and it's not a thing anymore.
- 6:01But it was back then, so this is around 2000 and I was like a little
- 6:07PTA mom, girl scout leader had little kids doing the stay at home mom thing.
- 6:12And then I was thinking like, okay, at some point these people will be like.
- 6:16Out and running and have their own life.
- 6:18So let me start getting an education and I thought being a
- 6:21therapist would be a good mommy job.
- 6:24Like it's, I could be my own boss, I could work what I wanted.
- 6:28I wouldn't be stuck in an office eight to five, somebody telling me
- 6:31like, I'm not allowed to take a day off to go see my kid, get an award.
- 6:36So I was thinking like a therapist would be like a more of a run
- 6:40your own life kind of business.
- 6:42And so I'm looking around for programs and I happen to live in Southern California.
- 6:46So I was in Anaheim.
- 6:47And so there was a spiritual psychology program in in Santa Monica.
- 6:53That's where the school was.
- 6:55And it was a University of Santa Monica.
- 6:57And they had at that time an accredited program where you
- 7:01could get a master's degree that.
- 7:03Allowed, accepted the credentials of that school to then go on and be licensed
- 7:08as a marriage and family therapist.
- 7:11And so it was a credentialed, accredited program at the time.
- 7:14But the content was very interesting to me 'cause I was
- 7:19already looking into spirituality and always interested in that.
- 7:23Alway already taking a lot of courses in that kind of ilk.
- 7:28And a spiritual psychology master's degree would be fun, but also
- 7:32it helped me to get licensed.
- 7:34So whenever I.
- 7:36Learned all that stuff.
- 7:37It's, it really blended with all the, speakers like that, right?
- 7:42And so that's the thing that I really liked about David Wilcock is yeah,
- 7:45he is somebody who blended science.
- 7:49A lot of geeky, nerdy science stuff, which I love.
- 7:52I can geek out and I love all that kind of stuff.
- 7:56And and spirituality whenever I ran across him accidentally, looking
- 8:01at other things, like I loved him.
- 8:03He was a great speaker.
- 8:04I enjoyed him.
- 8:06I was really interested.
- 8:08I think for me personally, what I liked about him is he was sciencey
- 8:13and he could go real deep into some kind of piece of science.
- 8:17And for me it was fun to watch, it's fun to watch somebody that really
- 8:21knows their stuff and just can just go.
- 8:24And so I think for me, what I liked about him, what resonated for me is just that
- 8:28part of him that, you get that guy talking about a go Dita Hadron I can't even say
- 8:34all those words, but, some of that was just fun to watch him get on a roll and
- 8:39yeah, he did excellent research.
- 8:41Oh my gosh.
- 8:42And had so many good people on, over the years I read every one of his books.
- 8:48Yeah.
- 8:48Had them all set.
- 8:48He had in Hawaii we gotta swim with dolphins and, go to the, close
- 8:52to where the lava was flowing.
- 8:53They could, they wouldn't let us go get too close.
- 8:55But yeah he was absolutely amazing and very personable.
- 8:59Yeah, it was his birthday and we like, gave him a birthday party, so it was fun.
- 9:02He's
- 9:03very, yeah, so for, yeah, so for me too, like all I can do is I
- 9:07don't wanna indulge in gossip, so I don't wanna talk about somebody.
- 9:11So that is not what my intention is to just talk about
- 9:15someone that's passed, but.
- 9:17To talk about myself and my experience of him and how I was blessed by him.
- 9:22So I'm gonna un unapologetically be a David Wilcock fan.
- 9:26I'm a fan.
- 9:27Yeah.
- 9:27I liked him.
- 9:28I liked his content.
- 9:30I liked how he as a person would blend who he was as a person to
- 9:35whatever content he was talking about.
- 9:37And I think that's important, and that's why you wanna listen to
- 9:40somebody, is you feel that resonance with somebody's kind of energy and
- 9:45what they bring to the subject matter.
- 9:47So it's not just about the subject matter, it's also about,
- 9:51the speaker and the person.
- 9:52And so what I liked about him is I think.
- 9:56In my own experience, he had this nice blend of a sweetheart,
- 10:00like just a sweet little, he had a certain innocence about him.
- 10:04And he was also just like a brainiac, he could just geek out and just
- 10:08go deep on some kind of content, whether it was spirit spirituality,
- 10:13whether it was some kind of like real basic science geometry physics.
- 10:19And then he could talk about UFOs and all that kind of stuff.
- 10:24So I was like, he was a fun person to watch and I was entertained by
- 10:28him and I also I think post COVID when all of our worlds changed and he
- 10:34started doing some of his like little, shows I would see some of those and
- 10:39then I got to see the part of him.
- 10:42In a different way where he's just doing a podcast in his home.
- 10:47You get to see a little different part of him versus at a
- 10:50conference or in a studio at Gaia.
- 10:53Then you get to see a little bit more of his, personality and
- 10:56him just being a real person.
- 10:58And again, I thought he was enjoyable and I thought at times he was funny.
- 11:02And at times he was adorable.
- 11:05And, I don't know if a grown man wants to be described as adorable, there
- 11:09was a little, a definitely adorable quality to little David Wilcock.
- 11:13He would, he could be adorable.
- 11:14Yeah.
- 11:14And what I
- 11:15also, when I met him I thought it was, you look at him on and he's sweet and
- 11:20Yeah.
- 11:21Soft spoken.
- 11:21You're like, and when you meet him, he's like a tall guy.
- 11:24Yeah.
- 11:24Really saying, I find out that he had a martial arts background.
- 11:28I'm a martial artist.
- 11:29Wow.
- 11:29And I can look at someone and go, yeah, he's a badass.
- 11:31So I saw that in him.
- 11:33So he had both of that and he was like, just so kind and so giving, it's crazy.
- 11:39So see, he's a multidimensional guy, right?
- 11:42Yeah.
- 11:42There's many dimensions there.
- 11:44He's a multiple kind of thing.
- 11:46He is not one thing, he's a multidimensional
- 11:49person like all of us are.
- 11:51It's a lot more interesting when you're multidimensional and
- 11:54you're not one or two dimensional.
- 11:56And so he was very complex and what I liked about his little show that he had
- 12:02been doing recently, this is just my own experience of watching it, is I noticed
- 12:07that he's kind of person that when there were certain things going on in the chat,
- 12:11so he would, he was really responsive.
- 12:14And so to me, again, this is me being a brain geek.
- 12:18To me that gave me a sense of his brain type.
- 12:20'cause that's just what I do for a living is I look at brains all
- 12:23day and brain types and all that.
- 12:25And so I've done it for so long now, almost 20 years, that when I'm around
- 12:29somebody, whether I should be doing it or not, I just I know how they're
- 12:32wired, what their biases are, how their equipment works, so to speak.
- 12:37And so like I got a sense of him just by him.
- 12:42He's trying to do a show and he's also like really relational
- 12:45and he's like really relational.
- 12:47And to me it was to be relational, to like really be joining and it
- 12:51takes a different kind of person.
- 12:53And also a brain type to just be able to track two things like that at once.
- 12:58And what I liked about him as far as maybe what I'm saying is like a
- 13:03sweetness or, an endearing quality would be, that he would call out when
- 13:08people were being rude or offensive.
- 13:11And he had moderators, of course, like everybody to catch the trolls, but he
- 13:16was also really good in how he managed.
- 13:18He had a certain sweetness and a certain consistency to not really go negative.
- 13:24He was very kind in how he would say things give feedback and he
- 13:29would also create boundaries.
- 13:30Oh, we're not gonna go there.
- 13:31We're not gonna say that.
- 13:33Yep.
- 13:33Let's not use that word.
- 13:34Let's not, go negative.
- 13:36And he had a certain consistent, way that he wanted everybody to be
- 13:41respected, be respectable, be kind.
- 13:46I know sometimes he would read, like part of his presentation, he would
- 13:50read something that someone said one of the maybe what did he call 'em?
- 13:54That alliance post on one thing or another.
- 13:57And he would purposely read over certain words that were like, charged, like
- 14:04for an adult audience, maybe none of those words were really even a big deal.
- 14:08But to him, he had a certain, like decency and he had a certain decorum and he had
- 14:13a certain kind of like protection of protecting all of our innocence and just,
- 14:19being decent and kind instead of crude.
- 14:23He wouldn't root, he wouldn't read.
- 14:25Words that were crude or, which is cute.
- 14:28Again, it's an adult conversation, but that's adorable for somebody to do that.
- 14:32And then I think for me personally, when I was in high school, some of
- 14:36my best friends were in the theater and I had a drama class, and all my
- 14:43theater geek friends would be in there.
- 14:45And some of those were like my best friends, and I loved the theater people.
- 14:50And he reminds me of a lot of my high school friends that were some
- 14:54of my closer, more fun friends.
- 14:57And so he has that part of him that he's like a theater person and he's dramatic.
- 15:02And he acts like a person who's in a high school drama class, right?
- 15:06Oh yeah.
- 15:06When he did Angry Daddy.
- 15:07Oh yeah.
- 15:08That's like what people, that's what people in my high
- 15:11school drama class would do.
- 15:12And it is yes, it's maybe immature, but it wasn't, it was done for fun.
- 15:17He was being playful.
- 15:19Yep.
- 15:19He w he was just doing it because it, it is important to sometimes be an
- 15:24adult and be silly and be playful.
- 15:26And that is something that I, it's on my little list of things to do
- 15:30when I create a treatment plan.
- 15:32If somebody's going from being a ball of stress to being a normal,
- 15:36functional human, I make them play.
- 15:38I put it in their treatment plant and sometimes they get mad at me and some
- 15:44very serious, people, they roll their eyes and they get a little irritated
- 15:48and I'm like that's not optional.
- 15:50This is, and when I do a treatment plan for addiction on their treatment plan
- 15:55is a whole section for what are you gonna do to be playful and to remind
- 16:01yourself that life should also be fun.
- 16:05That's brilliant.
- 16:06And you can't take yourself too seriously.
- 16:08And sometimes it is a tenet of mental health to just be silly and goofy.
- 16:15Just to do it.
- 16:16Just do it because, so I kinda liked him because he always did
- 16:21that in each of his little podcasts.
- 16:23He would just be silly.
- 16:25And that is actually a pillar of mental health.
- 16:28So I was like, oh, you get little points for that.
- 16:31So that is a mental health behavior is to just be silly and goofy.
- 16:37And there's just lots of things that I liked about him.
- 16:39And so to hear that he had passed was one thing, upsetting.
- 16:45'cause he I enjoyed him.
- 16:46I liked him a lot.
- 16:48And then.
- 16:50Also a suicide.
- 16:52So that was really additionally hard, which it always would be.
- 16:56If you hear that someone passes away and you hear that it's a
- 16:59suicide, it hits you different.
- 17:02Yeah, it hits you different.
- 17:03So I was just thinking that, we all are individuals and we have these little
- 17:08families of things that we watch.
- 17:11Like I would say I'm a Michael Jaco intuitive warrior.
- 17:14I'm part of that little family, and whoever watches you, we have a
- 17:18certain cohort, we have a certain group and we have a, we obviously
- 17:23have to have a certain thing in common to hang out together.
- 17:25And so there was probably a David Wilcock cohort and there's a Bruce Lipton cohort
- 17:31and there's a lot of overlap and all that.
- 17:33So I was thinking, as I was sitting with it, is.
- 17:36Just the fact that he passed and then the layer of and death by suicide.
- 17:43I thought it might be neat to just reach out to everybody and create a
- 17:47common conversation around suicide, because that's something that I know on
- 17:53my side of professional mental health is nobody wants to talk about it and
- 17:59nobody knows how to talk about it.
- 18:02It's one of those subjects that everybody just skips over.
- 18:06And I talk about it a lot 'cause I'm in mental health and I know for sure
- 18:10that it is something that everybody is better and everything is safer if we talk
- 18:17about it and we have a common definition of what it is and what it's not.
- 18:22So I know around David Wilcox's death, there's all this stuff around it, right?
- 18:27So there's.
- 18:29Different theories and there's different camps and people are
- 18:32already saying it's this, it's that.
- 18:34So there's that happening.
- 18:37And what I would want everybody to realize if you've ever had a suicide in
- 18:41your family or in your community, like it was someone at work that happened
- 18:46to, or somebody in your neighborhood, it's not a very common thing.
- 18:50Suicide is not very common.
- 18:53But when you do have it, that's exactly what happens to people, is people in
- 18:58the family say It's this, it was that.
- 19:00It's not that.
- 19:01It's this.
- 19:02And people fight over, just what happened, whether it happened.
- 19:07People get very upset which makes sense if somebody in their family commits
- 19:13suicide because in general people take offense and people feel very betrayed.
- 19:20People get mad at the person that passed.
- 19:23How dare you do that to us?
- 19:26How could you do that to us?
- 19:28So then there's the whole complex grief of being super mad
- 19:34at somebody that passed away.
- 19:36So then are you allowed to also be sad?
- 19:40And how does all that work?
- 19:41And so that's part of why suicide is something that we
- 19:46don't know very much about.
- 19:48'cause again, we're uncomfortable even talking about it and
- 19:51we don't handle that well.
- 19:53So I was just thinking that maybe if we just sit together and tease through you.
- 19:59Some of that, however much wanna talk about that.
- 20:01But certainly I think if we can, if I can help today, create a common understanding
- 20:07of suicide, what it even is and what it's not, and just clear up some of the myths
- 20:12and the misunderstandings about it, then maybe everybody can just pass that along.
- 20:17Because there's a v there's a real vacuum out there in anybody
- 20:21talking about suicide, really knowing very much about it.
- 20:25And there's tons of myths and just, old wives tales and just a
- 20:30lot of wrong information about it.
- 20:32So I certainly thought today might be an opportunity for us to do that.
- 20:36Yeah, definitely.
- 20:37And we'll just see what we all think because it's just as good as anything
- 20:41else of, relates to all of us of, when we don't agree on what happened
- 20:47somewhere or what's behind something.
- 20:50I think that's a common thing we're all talking about.
- 20:52In general.
- 20:54Yeah.
- 20:54We're talking about the shooting with Trump.
- 20:56Is it, this, is it, that is it, this is it.
- 20:59How do we know all that stuff?
- 21:00So this applies to that too.
- 21:02And I was thinking that maybe if we have an understanding of suicide, let's
- 21:09say we're gonna go down the train of thought of in the, I don't know, truth
- 21:14or community or in the whatever we wanna call some of these communities.
- 21:19Just people that wanna know what's going on, whatever that
- 21:23group is, what's going on.
- 21:24Then if you wanna know what's going on when political people or
- 21:29celebrities or public figures have a suicide, so we're talking about the
- 21:34scientists, the 11 scientists that have, are having mysterious deaths.
- 21:38Now some of that is suicide, but it's not all suicide.
- 21:42Some of it is just mysterious death.
- 21:45And I think the reason it's important to understand suicide and have a
- 21:49working understanding of what it is and what it's not, that even
- 21:53helps you figure that stuff out.
- 21:55If there's a mysterious death and you have to go, what happened to this person?
- 22:00Is it a disappearance?
- 22:02Was it a homicide?
- 22:03Was it a suicide?
- 22:05What?
- 22:05What was it?
- 22:06Shouldn't you have a depth on suicide so that you can rule it in or rule it out?
- 22:12If you don't know very much about suicide, then how are you
- 22:15gonna rule it in or rule it out?
- 22:18When you only go, you only have a depth of a superficial level.
- 22:22It's not probably very helpful.
- 22:24So maybe today if we can all just have a little bit deeper and wider understanding
- 22:30of what suicide is and what it's not, we can even figure things like that out.
- 22:34It's just helpful to know.
- 22:36You know how I think you are very helpful in just how you went over the shooting.
- 22:42You have an understanding of weapons and protocol and security detail.
- 22:49So that's super helpful for you to go here's my training, here's my experience.
- 22:54This shouldn't look like that.
- 22:56This sort of looks right, this doesn't look right.
- 22:58So I want everybody to do that and lead people through that for suicide.
- 23:03What is it, what should it look like?
- 23:05What do you, how do you, what should you save if it, if you have it?
- 23:08And that kind of thing.
- 23:09So that's what I presented for everybody today.
- 23:13Sounds good.
- 23:16Yeah so by my perspective, we can look at your mental health background and whether
- 23:22you would say yes, no, some problems here.
- 23:25What I do with, like you were talking about.
- 23:27Just from my, background and what I've looked at and I've seen a lot of
- 23:32these people disappear over the years.
- 23:35Yeah.
- 23:35And it, it's very suspect to me that, and I know a lot of these people, are suicided
- 23:43or, they commit suicide because they have no other recourse that could be it.
- 23:48And it could be he was disappeared and so that he could go on, do his
- 23:52work and wouldn't have to worry about, being suicide or killed or whatever.
- 23:56So there's all those different aspects of it.
- 23:59Which one is it?
- 24:00Will we ever know?
- 24:02Maybe not, but we can, like you said, have that discussion.
- 24:05Yeah.
- 24:06Let's just look at context clues and let's just see what's the
- 24:09information that we know or could know.
- 24:13What's the information we're not gonna know.
- 24:15Yeah.
- 24:16And then just see.
- 24:17What pieces we have and what pieces we don't have.
- 24:21Because one thing that I feel some pieces that I might have is as
- 24:26I watched him just as a consumer
- 24:30As I watched him I just because of who I am, I got a sense of his brain type
- 24:35and I got a sense of how he runs energy and I got a sense of his neurobiology
- 24:41and I got a sense of how his personality interplays with his neurobiology.
- 24:47And I also work with a lot of people who have depression and anxiety.
- 24:51The normal garden variety kind.
- 24:53Then I have, I work quite a bit with people and have a lot of experience with
- 24:57people who have a severe mental illness.
- 25:00Okay, so people that have a severe mental illness, like major depressive
- 25:05disorder and or maybe bipolar disorder, then those people have a chronic
- 25:12health issue that's very severe.
- 25:14It impacts their daily functioning.
- 25:17It's a whole different animal than just the normal garden variety, anxiety,
- 25:22depression, that kind of comes and goes.
- 25:24That's a whole different thing to have an actual mental illness.
- 25:27So I think one thing I've heard about David Wilcox of other people that knew
- 25:33him Jay Weidner worked with him on Gaia.
- 25:36He has said some things of, when I worked with David, here's some experiences I had.
- 25:42His family has said in their official statement, his family said,
- 25:47he struggled with mental health and I think they said depression.
- 25:52And so I think.
- 25:54If we have some information from his family, we have to
- 25:59say that's a credible source.
- 26:02His family is saying he struggled with depression, he struggled
- 26:06with mental health issues.
- 26:09And so there's some context there.
- 26:12And I think from his show that he had been doing recently I did see that, just my
- 26:19own experience and the lens that I have, I saw things that in him were consistent
- 26:26with somebody who has a chronic, more long-term kind of depression.
- 26:32And just, he was very forth.
- 26:35He would share, here's how my week went.
- 26:37And, sometimes he would share like, I haven't been sleeping.
- 26:40Or he would say, he went a little too, TMI.
- 26:43So sometimes he would really give the grizzly details of like his
- 26:48bowels or, some other thing or he would go into a little bit of too
- 26:54much detail when his dog was sick.
- 26:56His dog was sick.
- 26:56Yeah.
- 26:56And he is talking about the barf and I'd have to like, skim through it because I
- 27:01don't love to hear that kind of stuff.
- 27:03So again, that was funny, but he's just being real, right?
- 27:06So I think from some of the things that while I'm watching the show and
- 27:11he would, intersperse personal things like that, I did get a sense, I don't
- 27:17know him, I've never met him, but I did get a sense that he probably had
- 27:22some sort of physiological, organic kind of tendencies towards depression.
- 27:28There's just kind of some themes of that in there.
- 27:31And so I think.
- 27:33Maybe at the end when we hear of his death and his family says
- 27:38he had, lifelong mental health issues that resonated with me.
- 27:42So then I'm like, oh, okay.
- 27:43His family says that now.
- 27:45My little brain goes, oh, and I've had these senses and I've observed these
- 27:51things when he's been doing his podcast.
- 27:53And so there's some of that lines up and that there's some, synchronicity
- 27:58and some sinking up in that way.
- 28:01So it does, he does seem, in my observation, to be someone who
- 28:05probably did have mental health issues.
- 28:07So I would say if somebody in the public eye all of a sudden has
- 28:13drops off, maybe they quit and they just, don't wanna participate
- 28:18anymore, or they pass away, or.
- 28:21There's a death by suicide.
- 28:23If somebody never had any resonance with depression, they never ever
- 28:28ever had any context of that in anything, and there's not a history,
- 28:34then that's a different thing.
- 28:36So I would say we do have some resonance with, anecdotal references of people
- 28:42that worked with him that say, yes, he had some mental health issues, he
- 28:47had some stuff, you can have mental health issues and just manage it.
- 28:51Sure, certainly.
- 28:53And so does that mean it's life threatening?
- 28:57No, it wouldn't necessarily mean it's life threatening.
- 29:00So then it would be like, okay, if it goes to that level, why?
- 29:03Why would it go to that level?
- 29:05What would happen?
- 29:06That would take somebody from general malaise and general depression, and even
- 29:10really pretty struggling with depression to then take their own life, something.
- 29:16Substantial has to fit for that to make sense.
- 29:21So again,
- 29:23some points
- 29:23without having access to all the details, that's all we're gonna
- 29:27do is just try to figure it out.
- 29:29We may touch on that as I show you about that.
- 29:32If there's any kind of things that make sense to you, we could stop and talk
- 29:35about that and if people on the chat wanna, jump in about stuff like that.
- 29:40Yeah.
- 29:40Here's one right here.
- 29:41It says, I don't think David would have done it without being
- 29:44made to, he was against suicide.
- 29:48See, that's a relative point.
- 29:50So that is a legitimate thing that I would say that's a puzzle piece.
- 29:54Let's put that out there because that resonates.
- 29:57Okay.
- 29:57That's a data point.
- 29:59So we say, how does that make sense?
- 30:00It is a hundred percent true in my experience and in the data is that.
- 30:07Somebody could have an absolute moral ethical personality belief about suicide,
- 30:15and it could not fit their beliefs, their worldview, how they are nothing.
- 30:20It's not part of their personality.
- 30:22It's nothing that they would do, would consider, and that can be absolutely true.
- 30:29So then how does it make sense if a person like that, all of a sudden we
- 30:33have a situation where there's a suicide?
- 30:35So then I'm gonna say, all right, what might have happened?
- 30:39Because the only way that makes sense is brain damage.
- 30:42Something happened that damaged someone's brain.
- 30:44So somebody that otherwise doesn't have the personality, they would
- 30:48never otherwise do that because they don't even believe in it.
- 30:51Sometimes people are very, positioned against it.
- 30:55So how does it make sense if anyone like that would, that is a valid data point.
- 31:00So then for me, of all the stuff that I know, I would say, oh, then I'm
- 31:03gonna look for somebody that it's not part of their personality at all.
- 31:08Then let's look at an accident.
- 31:10Let's look at substance induced.
- 31:14Let's look at did they live in a house that has black mold?
- 31:18Because I will tell you that it took a while for a lot of professionals to figure
- 31:24that one out, but I happened to work with one mold expert down at the university
- 31:28a Tucson U of A's medical School.
- 31:31I, she's a mold expert.
- 31:33She's a board certified psychiatrist.
- 31:35Now, why has a psychiatrist become a mold expert?
- 31:39Because when she was working as a psychiatrist, there was a certain number
- 31:43of her patients that never got better.
- 31:45And it bugged her and it kept her up at night.
- 31:48Wow.
- 31:48And she was like, wait a minute.
- 31:50They have this going on and this always makes them better and they
- 31:53should respond to this treatment.
- 31:54And they didn't.
- 31:55And they kept getting worse.
- 31:56And they were very depressed.
- 31:57They were suicidal.
- 31:59They couldn't take a shower, they couldn't work.
- 32:01And she's like, all of these things that I usually do for deep depression,
- 32:06any of that is not doing anything.
- 32:08So what am I missing?
- 32:09It's a long story of how she figured that out, but that's what it was black mold.
- 32:15Oh.
- 32:17And that's the theme now.
- 32:18When you see all these zombie movies, it's usually they're mold
- 32:21induced m turns into zombies.
- 32:24I'm just,
- 32:25we have lots of information about that.
- 32:27And I did a deep dive on being, because my daughter, when she was at U of A she was
- 32:33in her dorm and she had mold in her dorm.
- 32:37And the way I. Learned it is.
- 32:39She has, she had four roommates, like her sophomore year, she's in a, student
- 32:43apartment with four other girls.
- 32:45And one of them called me and said Ms. Picarillo I, I hope this is
- 32:49appropriate for me to call you, but we're worried about your daughter.
- 32:52She is, she's been asleep for almost two weeks and hasn't gone to school.
- 32:58And she gets up every now and then and goes to the bathroom and gets water,
- 33:01but she hasn't really eaten anything.
- 33:03And she, I was like, wait, what?
- 33:05Holy
- 33:05moly.
- 33:05Wait that again?
- 33:06She's been asleep for two weeks and has missed school.
- 33:09Now that doesn't make sense.
- 33:11Based on her personality.
- 33:13Yeah, because she's little Miss 4.0, she's involved in every kind of thing.
- 33:17Yeah.
- 33:17She's does way too much and is a over doer.
- 33:20So I'm like, she's near death.
- 33:23If she has slept and missed school, she doesn't miss school.
- 33:27So I got in the car and drove down there an hour and a half and.
- 33:31I was like what is going on?
- 33:32And I had one meeting or a couple meetings about mold with this other doctor.
- 33:37And so I just went, is it that I hooked it up and sure enough, through
- 33:42all the stuff that she knows to do, she had me do, I did it all.
- 33:45She had black mold in that apartment.
- 33:47Whoa.
- 33:47And that's what it was.
- 33:48So I have personal reference of that.
- 33:50So now I caught it early.
- 33:53So we remediated it and we got all the mold out of her brain, which
- 33:57anybody that's been molded let me know.
- 33:59I'll tell you exactly how to reverse all the damage.
- 34:02But you have to detox and pull the mold out of your system.
- 34:06And I have her brain scans, 'cause you know me, I'm her mom, so
- 34:10I'm gonna go get all the scans.
- 34:12I have a little file under her name with, there's a mold scan, we have
- 34:18the scans, we have all the stuff.
- 34:20So I, when I can, I like to do some of that stuff just 'cause I like to learn.
- 34:24I have a scan.
- 34:26Of mold in her brain, which that's so hard to look at.
- 34:31But now if that was left unattended, then she would've slowly declined.
- 34:36It would've taken years.
- 34:38It would've probably taken 15 to 20 years for her to become disabled.
- 34:43But that's what happens with mold.
- 34:44All of a sudden, they're diagnosed with a mental illness.
- 34:48They're sent to a psychiatrist.
- 34:50They've had mental health issues now for 15 years, and it's just
- 34:55looked at as mental health.
- 34:57So they're not really gonna be taken seriously by a regular doctor.
- 35:02They're misdiagnosed for 20 years and it's mold.
- 35:06Wow.
- 35:06And then if they actually go to a hotel or go on vacation and are around mold
- 35:13again, sometimes they are suicidal.
- 35:15And then we'll get a phone call on the mental health side that you know.
- 35:20We, we have a situation and we have somebody that's, suicidal in a hotel
- 35:24room or they're, threatening to this or that out in the middle of
- 35:28public and and then on my side, what I try to do is I try to help figure
- 35:33out what's going on real quick.
- 35:36And if I know that somebody already has a predisposition to mold, and then
- 35:41I've actually had a couple of those things happen where I had one student
- 35:47that lived in a frat house with mold and they went on a trip with their
- 35:50family to Italy and they stayed in some place where there was like, a thousand
- 35:55year old building or something and everything over there is old and moldy.
- 36:01And so they had gone, exploring underneath stuff.
- 36:05When you go under the caves and you see all that kind of stuff.
- 36:08And all of a sudden they were suicidal and their family called me and we had
- 36:13to try to figure out what was going on.
- 36:14So mold, who would've thought that would happen?
- 36:17That mold can make you suicidal.
- 36:19Would you ever figure that out and connect the dog?
- 36:21The
- 36:22guy I did shows with him for a while and he talked about this.
- 36:25He says
- 36:26it's
- 36:26totally real.
- 36:27Mold stuff goes all the way back to ancient times.
- 36:31And monks and all that kind of stuff would come in and cleanse people from mold.
- 36:36Not like a exorcism, but they come and clean the mold 'cause the,
- 36:39Mold had demonic.
- 36:41Figures that would attach to people.
- 36:43I was like, you gotta be kidding me.
- 36:45That kind of makes sense to me because what it does is it affects
- 36:49this one part of the brain the most.
- 36:51It deteriorates that one part of the brain.
- 36:54And that part of the brain is where when you have damage to that sar,
- 36:58that part of the brain, you have a lot of spiritual or psychic kind of
- 37:03hallucinations, which isn't that weird.
- 37:05There's just this one part of the brain that if it gets damaged,
- 37:09then your hallucinations and your delusions are of the spiritual kind.
- 37:14And it's okay, I think there's two kinds of things that can be happening.
- 37:19There can be real demonic, there can be real spiritual things.
- 37:22I think that's true.
- 37:23And I think you can have brain damage.
- 37:26You can have one or the other.
- 37:27What if you have both?
- 37:29And one thing that I do believe is true, and I believe there's a decent
- 37:34amount of science about it, is that when you are altered, when your
- 37:38brain, your physiology is altered.
- 37:41So if you're drunk, if you're high as a kite or if you have a head injury and
- 37:47you have some kind of damage, then you are more vulnerable to entities and bad
- 37:54energy coming right into your field.
- 37:57I do know that is a thing.
- 37:59And so I think that to the extent that you're incapacitated and you're
- 38:04injured or ill, I think you can't fight off demons and entities.
- 38:09So I think that's that kind of makes sense to me.
- 38:13And it's like at some point, what came first, the intrusion from
- 38:18the outside or the brain energy or what, but I think it's all of it.
- 38:23You have to piece all those little things apart to remediate
- 38:27the whole thing properly.
- 38:29You have to deal with all the little pieces of it, not
- 38:32just one side or the other.
- 38:34I would say, yeah, I would say it was like brain injury makes
- 38:37you extremely susceptible.
- 38:39PTSD some kind of trauma in your life.
- 38:42So all those things would make you crazily susceptible to mold, which
- 38:47is basically like my wife Tracy said in the chat, it's totally real.
- 38:50It's a principality that uses mold as a means to take over.
- 38:54But that would work based on the science that as I've learned it from lots of
- 38:59medical doctors working with me on mold and me working with people who
- 39:05go all the way through from, they're barely functioning to, they're up and
- 39:09running again, and I've done all the therapy and the deep stuff with 'em.
- 39:13That's a hundred percent true.
- 39:15Wow.
- 39:17This just went in a whole nother direction.
- 39:19This is amazing.
- 39:20It's not what, that's why have conversations like this because
- 39:23you can bring, you can dig out some stuff that, makes, it, makes
- 39:26you would've thought, would've.
- 39:27Now people want, some people in the chat are asking about your
- 39:30how to get rid of the mold.
- 39:31You and you have a okay technique.
- 39:34Yeah.
- 39:35Maybe I'll do a little mold one-on-one thing, but like the short answer of it.
- 39:39There is a website called surviving mold.com.
- 39:44Okay,
- 39:44the two big icons of that whole science, one of them is Dr. Richie,
- 39:50and you're gonna see his information on that website, surviving mold.com.
- 39:55It has all the information of everything you'd ever wanna know about mold on there.
- 39:59There's a lot of if you go on resources, you'll see how to find a doctor there.
- 40:04It's incredibly hard to find a doctor that knows anything about mold.
- 40:09That's just the truth.
- 40:11If somebody's really sick from mold, then just email me through my website.
- 40:15I'm sure there'll be a link somewhere where, and I'll try to hook you up
- 40:19because sometimes I have to help people find somebody in their area.
- 40:23That's it right there.
- 40:24Okay.
- 40:25That's gonna give you everything that I know.
- 40:27Is on there somewhere.
- 40:29Wow.
- 40:29You can spend hours and hours on this website of all the protocols.
- 40:33Dr. Ackerley, who's the one that taught me, and she's the one that
- 40:37treated and saved my daughter.
- 40:39Oh, wow.
- 40:39She's on there.
- 40:41There's a Dr. Ackerley iss, a pretty famous mold expert.
- 40:45And Dr. Shoemakers is the other one.
- 40:48So he's a, he is the guy if you wanna know about mold, he's the guy.
- 40:53He has done the most work.
- 40:55He's
- 40:55that guy looks like a monk.
- 40:58He's a nerdy brainiac.
- 41:00Yeah.
- 41:00He's a real good scientist
- 41:02kind of guy you want,
- 41:04and he is the mold guy.
- 41:06Wow.
- 41:06And so he's the resource.
- 41:08And then, whenever I have someone and I need the medical collaboration.
- 41:13If I can't, it's hard to get to Dr. Ackerley 'cause she's so
- 41:16busy, it's hard to get to him.
- 41:17But we have some of the Amen Doctors that are now up to speed on mold.
- 41:23And some of that is from my being obnoxious about it.
- 41:27This is, I'm, I've been in obnoxious about mold for almost 18 years.
- 41:31So some of this is from my pushing, but there's a few on the Amen
- 41:35team that I will send people to.
- 41:37But because you can't just go to anybody and get help when you have mold sickness.
- 41:42So there's a test that you do on there, it's called the Erlin, I-R-L-E-N.
- 41:47And there's a link on that page where you do an LEN test and it's a little thing
- 41:52that he has it free on there you can do this assessment and it's basically, you
- 41:57look at this screen and based on your score, it can tell you whether you are.
- 42:04Already suffering from mold poisoning.
- 42:08It's poisoning.
- 42:08It's mold poisoning is what it is.
- 42:10It's a tox
- 42:11online.
- 42:11That's crazy.
- 42:12That's good.
- 42:13And it it affects your vision.
- 42:15Just
- 42:15make sure all,
- 42:16yeah.
- 42:16It affects your vision.
- 42:17So there's this little quick cheap screening that you have people do, and
- 42:21I have people do it in my office where I just screen your eyes real quick and
- 42:26it just at least rules it in or rules it out of do I need to do a deeper
- 42:30dive on mold or are we able to move on?
- 42:33Because it, it affects your vision.
- 42:35You can't see, 'cause it, it digs into the, your neo, your visual cortex
- 42:40back here in neuro occipital lobe.
- 42:42And the thing about to answer a question, I'm sorry, I got it on a tangent, is
- 42:47No, I
- 42:47love it.
- 42:47What do you do and how do you get mold outta your body?
- 42:50Okay.
- 42:51The short answer is.
- 42:53There's a mold detox and Dr. Ackerley calls it a mold shake, which is so gross.
- 42:59There's not mold in it.
- 43:01Yeah.
- 43:01But it's a little drink that has four ingredients and you drink it
- 43:06and it literally pulls the mold molecules out of your system.
- 43:11Jesus.
- 43:11And you have to do it carefully.
- 43:13And so I hate to just tell people how to do it on here because
- 43:17there's a little bit of, okay.
- 43:19Are, what medications are you on?
- 43:21What, is there any other health issues that you have going on?
- 43:24Just to do it, right?
- 43:27I don't wanna just give people the thing on the internet and
- 43:30have 'em go do it, because that might not be the best outcome.
- 43:34You have to do a little bit of customizing for people.
- 43:37But basically it's these four things and they all work together and they just grab
- 43:42every little piece of it and pull it out.
- 43:45So it's a detox, but it's actually getting poison out.
- 43:49And for my daughter she responded really quickly, so she just felt like
- 43:54a whole different person and she felt a hundred percent well in two weeks.
- 43:59That's
- 43:59great.
- 43:59And then Dr. Ackerley told us, all right, because you did blood, we did blood work.
- 44:04There's a little bit more to it than just drink this stuff.
- 44:07Yeah.
- 44:07You wanna do it well, so you wanna go to somebody that knows
- 44:10how to walk you through it.
- 44:11But it is pretty simple to do.
- 44:14So if you have mold sickness, find somebody to show you how to
- 44:18do it because it's reversible.
- 44:20It's completely reversible.
- 44:22So I can, I have before and afters for sure of my own little child, but I
- 44:27have it for several of my clients too.
- 44:29So what we do is we stay with it until it's all gone.
- 44:33We keep doing blood work and we do another scan, and people get mad at me because
- 44:38they feel better in three weeks, and Dr.
- 44:41Ackerley is telling me, Nope, we're not done yet.
- 44:45And I have to say we're not done yet.
- 44:47Dr. Ackerley says we're not done until we have this, and this, because
- 44:52it's still just gonna drag on.
- 44:53So she's thorough.
- 44:55And again, I would say the honest truth is that 50% of people
- 45:00don't follow through all the way.
- 45:02That's just real.
- 45:03So it is what it is.
- 45:05And maybe 40 it's maybe about 40% that'll do everything I say all the way.
- 45:10And then they're just all the way back to they never were exposed to mold.
- 45:14But some people only do it halfway, so they're better.
- 45:17But they still have kind of health issues that drag around
- 45:21and look like other things.
- 45:23And then, and
- 45:23the environment.
- 45:24How important is the environment?
- 45:25You can detox yourself, but if your environment is still moving.
- 45:29So this is the deep science answer to that is there's two genetic
- 45:33markers that you can easily find out by just taking a blood test.
- 45:37And it's cheap now.
- 45:38It used to be expensive, so cheap now.
- 45:41So you go to any LabCorp and you get these two genetic tests.
- 45:45So you go and see if you have the genetic mutation for M-T-H-F-R and if
- 45:51you have that little genetic mutation, which one out of four people has?
- 45:55My daughter has it.
- 45:57I have it.
- 45:58The only reason I know I have it is 'cause when she.
- 46:01Got her blood work back.
- 46:02Dr. Ackley said It's genetic, so now if your daughter has it, let's just
- 46:07do the blood work on the whole family and see who else in the family has it.
- 46:11So that was a little extra bonus that we all benefited from
- 46:14her being molded at college.
- 46:16And so I, I didn't know and I was like, what, 40 something years old?
- 46:20I didn't know I had this genetic mutation till my daughter got molded
- 46:24and now I know I have the M-T-H-F-R.
- 46:26So what that means is that I and her are gonna get way sicker around,
- 46:31even if it's, the black mold is poisonous to everyone, it's poison.
- 46:36So you're always gonna get sick around black mold, but there's 36 other molds
- 46:41that will only make somebody really sick if they have the M-T-H-F-R gene.
- 46:46So then how do you deal with that?
- 46:48You accommodate for that mutation.
- 46:51So then I literally have it sitting right here, probably.
- 46:54Where's mine?
- 46:55There's a methylated here's my little thing.
- 46:57I take it every day.
- 46:59So it's that five MTHF.
- 47:02And this is a, what this does is it mitigates that genetic mutation so that
- 47:08I don't have the experience of having the genetic mutation I course corrected.
- 47:13And I don't have that consequence anymore because I did something about it.
- 47:17So I can take this and it corrects that little thing so that I could go
- 47:22to Italy and not get deathly sick.
- 47:24That's helpful.
- 47:25Yeah, that's
- 47:25helpful, I think.
- 47:27And so there's lots of little pieces to the mold thing, and that's why you have
- 47:31to go to somebody that has the training.
- 47:34It's not complicated, it's not expensive.
- 47:37You just have to find someone with the training, the stuff that you take is cheap
- 47:43and the blood work is pretty inexpensive.
- 47:45But you need to know if you have these two mutations because then
- 47:48there's something else you do.
- 47:49If you don't have it, then you don't.
- 47:51But that's why my daughter was really sick and her other three roommates weren't.
- 47:56Wow.
- 47:56Because how did that work?
- 47:58She has these two
- 47:59interesting because when I worked in a casino as a security manager in
- 48:02Tahoe, I'm not gonna say the place, I don't wanna get him in trouble,
- 48:05but, or get myself in trouble.
- 48:07But yeah.
- 48:08They were cleaning mold out of one of the and we didn't know.
- 48:11We didn't know at the time, so nobody knows cleaning and we're doing a lot
- 48:14of cleaning and this bar, down in the where the water used to go, and
- 48:18we're cleaning all that and we shut the bar down for a little while,
- 48:21but we're just cleaning it out.
- 48:22And we're like, okay.
- 48:24We're one of, one of my officers was security officers was hanging
- 48:27out, in front of this place.
- 48:29And a gentleman came by and says, do you know if there's black mold in this area?
- 48:35And Wow.
- 48:36He was like, no we don't have any black mold problems.
- 48:39He says, 'cause my child, I have a child that's very
- 48:41susceptible, black mold they have.
- 48:43And we were just walking through this area and he became
- 48:45extremely ill just by proximity
- 48:50because they have this genetic mutation that probably have
- 48:53the two, like my daughter.
- 48:54So I'm like that too.
- 48:56I'm a canary for mold.
- 48:58Wow.
- 48:58So I went to a mental health conference that I was speaking
- 49:02at in, in Portland, Oregon.
- 49:04So in Portland it rains, it's, rainy and moldy.
- 49:07And it was just a regular like Hilton hotel, wherever
- 49:09we were having the conference.
- 49:11And I was speaking on Saturday and I got there Friday and Friday night.
- 49:17I was so tired I couldn't stay awake.
- 49:19And I had the worst headache in the world.
- 49:22And it's like a regular hotel.
- 49:23It's clean.
- 49:24And so I'm not making the connection.
- 49:27But then by, by the middle of the night, I had all of the mold sickness
- 49:32symptoms and I was like, oh, it's that.
- 49:35And then I was like shoot, what am I gonna do?
- 49:37Because I'm here, I'm supposed to speak tomorrow afternoon, but I'm
- 49:41gonna get progressively worse if I don't get the heck out of this hotel.
- 49:45Because it was there's mold in that hotel and didn't make
- 49:50three out of four people sick.
- 49:52But it was gonna make me sick.
- 49:53So that is an actual real thing for me.
- 49:57I get it takes a lot longer for my symptoms.
- 50:00I get real, real tired.
- 50:01Almost like you gave me a sleeping pill.
- 50:04That's how my body reacts.
- 50:05And then I'll eventually get a headache, but I'll just be like knocked out.
- 50:09My daughter, her eyes swell up and she gets crust around her eyes.
- 50:14Ugh.
- 50:14So she's a better mold canary than me.
- 50:18And so she gets annoyed, but she also like sometimes doesn't mind, it's based
- 50:23on the day you ask, but sometimes when somebody suspects they have mold, I'll say
- 50:28Carmen, would you mind going over to this person's house and just sit there for a
- 50:32little bit and see if your eye, she, oh my God, she had actually done it before.
- 50:36She's especially for a family member because I had a family
- 50:39member that was suicidal.
- 50:41Couldn't go to work.
- 50:43Hadn't taken a shower.
- 50:45They couldn't figure out what was going on.
- 50:47There was no like, what's happening, but they were just like disappearing,
- 50:51dysfunctional, and, scary when that happens, you're like, what's going on?
- 50:56And you're like, what are you not telling me?
- 50:57Like, how come you all of a sudden just can't function?
- 51:00So it was a family member.
- 51:02So I say, Carmen, would you mind?
- 51:03And so she went over and just sat there and it was about 45 minutes to an hour,
- 51:09and her eyes were just swollen and crusty.
- 51:12And when I was like, she called me up, she goes, mom, look at my eyes.
- 51:16And she puts her little iPhone.
- 51:17I was like, I can't believe that.
- 51:20And I'm like, okay, obviously get out of there.
- 51:23And the reason that I don't feel like I'm putting my daughter in danger is because
- 51:27I know that if it gets in there, you just detox it out and then you're fine.
- 51:32Or I wouldn't do that, obviously.
- 51:33Yeah.
- 51:34But you then you,
- 51:35This is part of your expertise.
- 51:37Yeah.
- 51:37And the, supplements and so forth.
- 51:40That's how I learned, wow.
- 51:41I yeah it all, that,
- 51:42That can do so many amazing things.
- 51:44People with ptsd, TSD supplementation it's a brain problem.
- 51:48So I know probably sometimes you're like watching me and it's oh, Mike,
- 51:52you didn't take your supplements today.
- 51:53Did you
- 51:54remember I did that to you one time because you kept forgetting the name
- 51:56of something and it was like, you were like, I can't remember the name.
- 51:59What is the name?
- 52:00And then I know sometimes people in the chat will help you.
- 52:02You're, and it's something simple, but you couldn't think of the name.
- 52:05That's your temporal loaves.
- 52:07So that's this part right here.
- 52:09Yeah.
- 52:09So that's just this part of your brain was inefficient.
- 52:13Like obviously it works, but sometimes it just.
- 52:16Bails on you.
- 52:17And you can't think of a word that's your temporal lobe.
- 52:19That's where word retrieval is.
- 52:21So then I know that you need extra support right there.
- 52:25And then you can be like me with the mold, you mitigate it.
- 52:27If you have a vulnerability somewhere, what is it?
- 52:30And it's like, how do you mitigate it?
- 52:32And that
- 52:32when I get forgetful, it's because I haven't taken my supplementation.
- 52:36Yep.
- 52:36That's what,
- 52:36or I need to take, that's it's, I need to double dose it.
- 52:38So that's what I do.
- 52:39Yeah.
- 52:39And I'm better, occasionally, like I know, yeah, it get sick or Oh
- 52:43I'm getting, I'm mold toxicity.
- 52:45So you just supplement.
- 52:47You supplement better.
- 52:48You
- 52:48just, but if you know what to look for, then you can say, oh,
- 52:51okay I'm having symptoms there.
- 52:53Let me go back and support that area, and then I'm good to go again.
- 52:56And then at least, you have a working system and you're
- 52:59not just stuck with something.
- 53:00Yeah.
- 53:00So the thing is, when you were doing Navy SEAL stuff, hand-to-hand combat,
- 53:06doing all that stuff, you were actually sparring with people, right?
- 53:10Oh
- 53:10yeah.
- 53:10And so you're gonna have a lot of just like post-concussive, like maybe you
- 53:15didn't get knocked out, but you just took a lot of blows to right here.
- 53:19Oh
- 53:19yeah.
- 53:20So anytime you are in martial arts, you're obviously in boxing or you're
- 53:24in any kind of stuff like that.
- 53:27And I always think of sometimes like guys more I think this is a gender
- 53:31bias that kind of makes sense is yeah.
- 53:33Guys get in fights a lot more.
- 53:36So guys like during their high school years or college years, or they get drunk
- 53:40and then they get in a bar fight, right?
- 53:42So a lot of times, like when I have people that will come to me for just learning
- 53:46issues, or they're like frustrated because school is hard and they can't, remember
- 53:51what the professor said and write notes.
- 53:53And I always go Ooh, temporal lobe.
- 53:56And then I do a questionnaire on, did you ever play lacrosse?
- 53:59Did you ever play soccer?
- 54:00Did you ever play football?
- 54:02What is your history of, that kind?
- 54:04And I just do my little due diligence and then I go, all right, if I've
- 54:07got a lot of, and this is sometimes when you fall and just anybody
- 54:11it hits your head is right here.
- 54:13So for you and your actual life history, of course you're gonna
- 54:17have temporal lobe issues.
- 54:19And then you can just make up for that.
- 54:22And mitigate it, and then you're good to go.
- 54:24And so that's so amazing.
- 54:26A lot of the stuff that I learned really from Dr. Am Amen.
- 54:30Is just insane.
- 54:31I talk to him frequently and I, he probably gets tired of
- 54:34me telling him, thank you.
- 54:36But really a lot of his stuff is so helpful that I'm like, Ooh, once
- 54:40again, where'd I learn that Dr. A Amen's research, he learned it.
- 54:44And some of the stuff that he learned was by accident.
- 54:46He's studying this and then he accidentally finds this other
- 54:49thing and then he is oh, I wasn't looking for that, but I found out
- 54:53that this is bad for the brain.
- 54:55And that's how Dr. Ackerley found mold.
- 54:58She was like, just like, how come these people aren't getting better?
- 55:02And then who would've thought it went there?
- 55:04So for Dr. A Amen, when he started trying to figure out why the football
- 55:08players were committing suicide
- 55:10Yep.
- 55:11And he was like I would guess football's bad for your brain.
- 55:14Yeah, but why would it.
- 55:17Cause suicide.
- 55:19And I don't know if it does.
- 55:20But let's just look and see what we find.
- 55:22And so obviously they found some stuff.
- 55:25Oh yeah.
- 55:26But what they also then did is Dr. Amon was like I wonder if we can fix that.
- 55:32Look at all the damage.
- 55:33I wonder if we can fix that.
- 55:35Most everything that I do that is correcting brain imbalances,
- 55:40came from the football study.
- 55:42Like that thing is worth its weight in gold.
- 55:45Wow.
- 55:45That's so like, how did I learn about your temporal lobe?
- 55:48I learned that from the football study.
- 55:50Yep.
- 55:51And most of the stuff that we know and that Dr.
- 55:53Amon does in all of his clinics came from the football study.
- 55:56It was like, really, we learned a ton of stuff.
- 55:59And that supplement you're taking is the exact research dose.
- 56:05That came from the football player.
- 56:06So what you're taking Wow.
- 56:08Is the research.
- 56:10It's the exact same formula that was used in the research on
- 56:14rehab and the football brains.
- 56:15That is the NFL football player brain rehab.
- 56:20It's exactly what they took.
- 56:22Same dose, all of it.
- 56:24Yeah.
- 56:25And I remember guys who were committing suicide when I was in
- 56:29San Diego they had this one guy, I can't think of his name right now.
- 56:33Maybe they took more supplements.
- 56:34But he basically was a star and he started having crazy, he started having
- 56:39craziness and they couldn't figure it out.
- 56:41And eventually he committed suicide.
- 56:43Gosh.
- 56:44And so they started doing the research like you're talking about, and they found
- 56:47out that, guys that get hit in the head.
- 56:50And he was one of those guys that was like just hammering people really.
- 56:54Super, super amazing guy Samoa guy.
- 56:58And he would, oh
- 56:59yeah, they're tough.
- 57:00Yep, they're tough.
- 57:01But anybody that gets their head hit, enough times it's gonna,
- 57:03it's gonna cause some problems.
- 57:05That's what we found out.
- 57:05The football association did not want to expose this 'cause that
- 57:10was gonna make them responsible for all these guys, of course.
- 57:14But, those studies Dr. Am Amman did that made a difference.
- 57:17Yeah.
- 57:17And now they are, helping guys because all it is good supplement.
- 57:22If we have the data we can prove in court, we have all the scans,
- 57:26we have all the information.
- 57:28And so I have a slide, I was gonna do a PowerPoint, but I have a one of the
- 57:32NFL slides just to give people a sense of, if you have a lot of problems and we
- 57:37can do a history and find out that you have a lot of head injuries, then we.
- 57:44We can very systematically reverse the damage.
- 57:48But the thing about the football study is in 2005 that that other doctor,
- 57:53Dr. Bennett Alah, he he the family of one of the Pittsburgh Steelers
- 57:59who committed suicide, and that's the movie that will Smith starred in.
- 58:05He he, his family said, we wanna, we think football is why he killed himself.
- 58:10And they asked that doctor to do an autopsy on his brain.
- 58:14And that's the guy that found CTE.
- 58:17So he found CTE in an autopsy, but the person has to be deceased.
- 58:24For him to do the procedure that he does to find CTE, you can
- 58:29only diagnose CTE postmortem.
- 58:33That's inconvenient, right?
- 58:35That's not.
- 58:36Great.
- 58:37That maybe helps us know that it can cause death, but how do we help
- 58:43players before they're passed away?
- 58:45That's, that'd be a, it's different.
- 58:47So then that one was done in 2005, and then what happened with the Amon Clinics
- 58:53is their a LA pla, retired profe, the NFL Retired Players Association in la.
- 59:02So that's Dr. Amy lives in Southern California.
- 59:05A lot of his friends are there.
- 59:06So he that player's association.
- 59:09They just personally kept getting really upset that their peers were all of a
- 59:15sudden committing suicide or they were going off the rails and being so violent
- 59:21and so just awful that their family didn't wanna talk to 'em, they didn't
- 59:25want, and they're like, we've known this person all of our life, and all of
- 59:28a sudden they're an asshole and no one wants to be around them, and they're just
- 59:32jerks and they're violent and they're mean, and they're punching holes in the
- 59:36wall and they're drinking and they're, doing road rage and is it football?
- 59:41Junior sale?
- 59:42Oh my gosh.
- 59:43Yeah.
- 59:43Yeah.
- 59:44Look at this beautiful man, right?
- 59:46Yeah.
- 59:46He was my hero.
- 59:47And that was tragic.
- 59:49Yes.
- 59:49And then when I found out why, I was like.
- 59:51It just didn't make sense.
- 59:52He was just a such guy.
- 59:53That's yeah.
- 59:54So this is what happened with the players is they were like, I've known this guy
- 59:57since college, or I've known this guy since high school, and this is who he is.
- 1:00:01He's the nicest guy.
- 1:00:03He is very sweet.
- 1:00:04He, help anybody.
- 1:00:05Now he's all of a sudden just violent and mean, and he doesn't like anybody.
- 1:00:10And he, he hates people.
- 1:00:12And it's that was never his personality, right?
- 1:00:14And they're, getting divorced.
- 1:00:16They're, and they're like, what happened?
- 1:00:18All of a sudden they shifted and then a lot of them committed
- 1:00:21suicide, and so they're upset.
- 1:00:24They're like, this is my friend.
- 1:00:26Something is happening and we wanna know if it's football.
- 1:00:30And yeah.
- 1:00:31The they went to the NFL and the NFL said, we will look into that.
- 1:00:35And so they said, they looked into it, and I have a ton of information
- 1:00:40about how they looked into it, and I don't know how you wanna go into that.
- 1:00:43But basically
- 1:00:44now let's go into your slide presentation now.
- 1:00:47I'll show you some found dead with a gunshot wound.
- 1:00:50So Junior say, oh, I was like, that's crazy.
- 1:00:52Yeah.
- 1:00:53And so the players were getting sick of it.
- 1:00:55They're like, our friends are dying and we just wanna know.
- 1:00:57So nobody at the NFL level would give him the time of day.
- 1:01:01So they on their own, they called Dr. A. Amen.
- 1:01:03And some of 'em knew, like people that knew him.
- 1:01:05And so he said, why don't we partner?
- 1:01:08Why don't the players association put up some of the funding?
- 1:01:12And I'll put up.
- 1:01:14Some of the funding.
- 1:01:14So Dr. Am was like, I'll let you use my clinic, my scanners, like my doctors,
- 1:01:19my staff, we'll do our part of that then, help get players into the study.
- 1:01:24And so then they helped get the word out and said, Hey, we need
- 1:01:28people to participate in the study.
- 1:01:29And so they had like former players, active players, like
- 1:01:34all across, they had some really old like Frank Gifford era guys.
- 1:01:39They had some young people.
- 1:01:41And so then they just did the stu the study, is there a Hertz
- 1:01:45response with the black mold?
- 1:01:47Yes.
- 1:01:48So that's why when you do the mold detox, is that what I'm assuming
- 1:01:54that's what you're asking me about.
- 1:01:55'cause detox, yes, you will get a herz effect.
- 1:01:57That's why I have to customize it.
- 1:02:00Whether I do it with you and customize it, or you have some things
- 1:02:03going on that I have to send you to a doctor, and then they do some
- 1:02:06other stuff and we customize it.
- 1:02:07But yes, that's why I didn't wanna just let everybody know what the formula
- 1:02:11is, because if you just do that and you don't do the other things, then you
- 1:02:15can get really sick from the Hertz and that's where you get sick from the detox.
- 1:02:21So that's a great question.
- 1:02:23I'm glad you asked that.
- 1:02:24Yeah.
- 1:02:24But for the football players they, they did, when you do any kind of science,
- 1:02:28you say, what do we think the answer is?
- 1:02:30You do your hypothesis and then you do the study and it either
- 1:02:33proves it or disproves it.
- 1:02:34I think they all thought football's bad, but what they found was like wow.
- 1:02:40And very specific.
- 1:02:42And then after that, Dr. Amon did a whole, I wonder if we can fix it.
- 1:02:47And then him and Dr. Meyer which is, she's a great little sharp.
- 1:02:52Smart little brainiac herself.
- 1:02:55And the two of them really headed up the rehab part of it.
- 1:02:59And that was 2010 to 20 12, 13 ish.
- 1:03:05And I met Dr. Amon right around 20 13, 20 14.
- 1:03:09And then, it's just been insanely helpful.
- 1:03:13We've all benefited from those football players being mad that
- 1:03:17their friends were not doing well, and some of them were suicidal.
- 1:03:19And so it's those players from LA that really, get the
- 1:03:25credit for starting all this.
- 1:03:26But, it makes sense of why they pushed for it.
- 1:03:29And then in 2016, I think the NFL finally admitted that yeah, football
- 1:03:38probably contributes to Brandon.
- 1:03:41And the same thing that I don't know if the militaries I think in some cases
- 1:03:45they do, but they are not admitting that, guys who have been around
- 1:03:48explosions and so forth, which is pretty much everybody in the military
- 1:03:52loud guns and blasting, obviously
- 1:03:54lost injuries.
- 1:03:55M 60 guy.
- 1:03:56So I was blasting away, I blowing stuff up.
- 1:03:58I was a demo guy, so Yeah, of course I had some stuff.
- 1:04:02Yeah, there was a time where I had to, after I left the ccia a
- 1:04:06'cause they traumatized me, so
- 1:04:08Yeah, then you have that kind of trauma too.
- 1:04:11And I got outta nature and that's what cured me, that helped me.
- 1:04:15And David, probably same guy type of guy, he's nature boy, I'm sure.
- 1:04:20Getting outta nature actually has a biological it's a biological intervention.
- 1:04:26It actually does change the molecules in your nervous system.
- 1:04:30And we, I think we all have we all say, oh, go get grounded.
- 1:04:34Grounding, like we say, are you grounded?
- 1:04:36Like you?
- 1:04:37But grounding is actually a very specific, real physiological thing.
- 1:04:43And you can put all the science together.
- 1:04:45Someone like David Wilcock could probably rattle it off.
- 1:04:48I have all the science in my computer of what that actually is.
- 1:04:51There's lots of people that do.
- 1:04:53But it is actually a real thing.
- 1:04:55And it changes your nervous system and helps it regulate.
- 1:04:59It changes the chemicals in your nervous system and it helps.
- 1:05:03And then there's other pieces too.
- 1:05:04So then you wanna reverse the brain damage if you have
- 1:05:07concussion, traumatic brain injury.
- 1:05:09And that could be from a hit or it could be a blast injury.
- 1:05:13Yeah.
- 1:05:13And so then you have to reverse the damage because it's like, if you just
- 1:05:17leave it like that time does not heal.
- 1:05:20A traumatic brain injury.
- 1:05:22That's something I want everyone to know.
- 1:05:24Wow.
- 1:05:24It doesn't just get better with time.
- 1:05:26That is actually not what we found in the studies.
- 1:05:29It stays dented in.
- 1:05:31You have a part of your brain that just doesn't light up anymore.
- 1:05:35It doesn't turn on, it doesn't get blood flow.
- 1:05:37So you have to fix that.
- 1:05:39That's an equipment issue that's if you get body damage on your car,
- 1:05:44it can be fixed, but you gotta take it to the shop and let 'em pump
- 1:05:48the dent out and then it's fine.
- 1:05:50But if you don't have 'em go pop it back out, then it's dented
- 1:05:54in for the rest of the time.
- 1:05:56So the thing about the brain is you can't see it.
- 1:06:00So the thing about the brain is it's the organ of behavior.
- 1:06:05That's what its job is.
- 1:06:06It determines your behavior and that's why mental health is called behavioral
- 1:06:12health on our insurance plans.
- 1:06:13Wow.
- 1:06:14It's called behavioral health, but.
- 1:06:17Your brain is the organ of behavior.
- 1:06:19So when someone has a behavior that is problematic, they have a brain-based
- 1:06:26issue because the brain is the thing that is responsible for behavior.
- 1:06:31So if we have obsessive compulsive behavior then I know that you don't
- 1:06:36have enough functional serotonin in your anterior cingulate area.
- 1:06:41Wow.
- 1:06:41I know that you're out.
- 1:06:43And so then I'm like, oh, I know what that is about.
- 1:06:47And
- 1:06:47so that's just fascinating because I know we've done shows in the past
- 1:06:49where in your past you've helped people with sexual addictions and so forth.
- 1:06:54Yeah.
- 1:06:55And very we would all know their names, but of course
- 1:06:57you're not gonna reveal that.
- 1:06:58But you've helped them through this same process.
- 1:07:01Pretty amazing.
- 1:07:01Yeah.
- 1:07:02Because it's because a lot of what Dr. Amon already knew he's been doing.
- 1:07:06Brain spec scans research for a long time.
- 1:07:09But a lot of also what we learned from the football players is it's
- 1:07:13if this, then, so if you have this behavior because we have so much data,
- 1:07:19then I can say, oh, that's this part of brain and this part of the brain.
- 1:07:23So I bet if we do the things to modify this, and we're gonna do mental,
- 1:07:28emotional, physical, spiritual, those are the four legs of the stool.
- 1:07:32And we're not gonna miss one, or we're not gonna get all the way where we wanna go.
- 1:07:36So at the physical level, what kind of nutritional supplements,
- 1:07:40what kind of medication, what kind of change do we need to make at
- 1:07:44that level, at the physical level?
- 1:07:46So a lot of times, supplements, nutritional supplements, amino acids get
- 1:07:51the job done because amino acids, targeted amino acids make neurotransmitters.
- 1:07:56And so if you're out of serotonin, I know I can give you two amino acids that.
- 1:08:01Go together and make a serotonin molecule.
- 1:08:04So I'm gonna have you do either five HT P or I'm gonna have you take l tryptophan.
- 1:08:09And that's just food as medicine, it's just an amino acid and you're
- 1:08:14not gonna have horrible side effects.
- 1:08:17'cause that doesn't work that way.
- 1:08:18It's just pro, it's just a, an amino acid molecule and it makes serotonin
- 1:08:23and then that part of your brain is gonna be fixed at the mental
- 1:08:27level, I mean at the physical level.
- 1:08:29But then on the mental side, I'm gonna say, let's look at your negative
- 1:08:33beliefs because as you've been walking around with no serotonin,
- 1:08:37just that right there starts negative beliefs, which is fascinating, wow.
- 1:08:43So if we deplete somebody of serotonin, they're gonna walk around and go rah, and
- 1:08:48they're gonna complain about everything.
- 1:08:50They're gonna see problems everywhere.
- 1:08:52They're gonna see the worst part of everything.
- 1:08:54They're gonna be glass half full, they're gonna be very negative.
- 1:08:58And no matter what positive thing is going on, they're gonna just, discount it.
- 1:09:03And so that is a brain thing, that's one part of the brain.
- 1:09:08And so then I've gotta say, okay, you've been used to being this way
- 1:09:12for a while, so now I've gotta real specifically target your beliefs.
- 1:09:16And I've gotta teach you how to thought, stop.
- 1:09:19'cause if you keep doing that, you'll keep depleting your serotonin.
- 1:09:22So if we keep fixing it over here, but you keep depleting it over here,
- 1:09:27then we're not gonna get anywhere.
- 1:09:28So we have to plug it on both sides.
- 1:09:31And so then it's easy though.
- 1:09:33It's okay, we're gonna do these four little things.
- 1:09:36Here's what you're gonna do.
- 1:09:38And in three months you're done.
- 1:09:40This is over.
- 1:09:42It is fun.
- 1:09:43So for me, when someone comes I tend to get the referrals for the
- 1:09:47most complicated cases for however that ended up starting to happen.
- 1:09:52But is when somebody's gone to a lot of other places and they
- 1:09:57just haven't gotten better.
- 1:09:58It's what are we missing?
- 1:10:00And then I try to figure it out and a lot of times it's head injuries.
- 1:10:03Nobody did a, and just don't have the training and it's concussions.
- 1:10:08It's oh, the reason that person isn't getting better is they have
- 1:10:11massive post-concussive syndrome.
- 1:10:13It's never been fixed.
- 1:10:15That's a lot of what I find for addictions.
- 1:10:17Yeah.
- 1:10:17People that go to rehab and they still just can't stay.
- 1:10:20And then it's oh, they have head injuries and then, sometimes it's other things, but
- 1:10:25it's something, it's just something that is out there somewhere and you just have
- 1:10:30to plug all the holes and, we just, we know a lot about it, the average physician
- 1:10:36doesn't have all of this training.
- 1:10:39The average therapist doesn't have all this training.
- 1:10:41And I'm not trying to say oh, I'm special or different, but I just accidentally I
- 1:10:46just accidentally got mold training 'cause my daughter had mold that doesn't have
- 1:10:50anything to do with me being special.
- 1:10:52It's just like what happened.
- 1:10:54Yeah.
- 1:10:54Yeah.
- 1:10:54And I accidentally got the Amen training because we had a professional football
- 1:10:59player come through our addiction program.
- 1:11:03Oh.
- 1:11:03He just, he had just had that scan and I happened to be on his team
- 1:11:07and I'm like, oh wow, this is cool.
- 1:11:09What's this?
- 1:11:10And then I had to know more about it.
- 1:11:12And then I had to I had to go get a scan and I had to go talk to Dr.
- 1:11:15Raymond and, so I was like, some of this stuff I just accidentally know, but.
- 1:11:21Helpful.
- 1:11:22So we've covered the suicide 1 0 1, we've covered trauma, PTSD and addictions.
- 1:11:27How about MK Ultra?
- 1:11:30So let me kinda flip through real quick and just show everybody what I'm
- 1:11:34talking about, just so it, you get it.
- 1:11:36Do you wanna show me how to do the share?
- 1:11:39Share your screen thing?
- 1:11:41Yeah, if you go down to the bottom, there's a little, oh, right there.
- 1:11:44Looks like a little box.
- 1:11:46You click on that, it says share screen.
- 1:11:48Okay.
- 1:11:49Click
- 1:11:49on that.
- 1:11:50So I do this, would I be able to see you while I'm
- 1:11:53Oh yeah.
- 1:11:53I'll be, you'll be in a little window on the side.
- 1:11:55So you hit window and then click on whatever you want to share
- 1:11:59and then go over and hit share.
- 1:12:01Okay.
- 1:12:02So I hit that.
- 1:12:06And where did you go?
- 1:12:12Let's see.
- 1:12:16Share screen and then hit window and your window for what you want to share.
- 1:12:22You click on that and it'll highlight, share.
- 1:12:25You click on that and then it'll present on my side, and then I will click it all.
- 1:12:30You just did it.
- 1:12:31Perfect.
- 1:12:32Good job.
- 1:12:32I'm
- 1:12:32a trainable monkey.
- 1:12:34No kidding.
- 1:12:34I, a lot of people don't get this.
- 1:12:36A lot of people don't get, so you're rare.
- 1:12:38Good job.
- 1:12:39But now I can't see you.
- 1:12:40So how do I do that?
- 1:12:42I'm not sure I see you, but
- 1:12:44okay.
- 1:12:44Maybe click on a different screen or,
- 1:12:46okay.
- 1:12:46So is it sharing from
- 1:12:51it's suicide choice?
- 1:12:52Yeah.
- 1:12:52Yeah.
- 1:12:53Okay.
- 1:12:53So this is what we're talking about, right?
- 1:12:55Yep.
- 1:12:56All right.
- 1:12:57So by the numbers, just real quick, I don't wanna spend a ton of time on this
- 1:13:01'cause I wanna show you some brains.
- 1:13:03Okay.
- 1:13:03But just how much does anybody know about suicide?
- 1:13:07That's real, right?
- 1:13:09I wanna see in the chat who, who's surprised by what some of this says.
- 1:13:14Okay.
- 1:13:15First, I'd love to see people in the chat.
- 1:13:18Answer is suicide of choice.
- 1:13:20I'd love to just get a a level of what people think before
- 1:13:23I show 'em some of this.
- 1:13:25Good point is suicide of choice.
- 1:13:27Who thinks that pretty much when somebody commits a suicide, they
- 1:13:31just made a choice to leave?
- 1:13:35And then I'm gonna ask that again at the end and we'll see if the answers change,
- 1:13:40but we all just have a sense, right?
- 1:13:41So is suicide a choice?
- 1:13:44Okay, now here's just some data, hard data.
- 1:13:48So suicide is the 11th cause of death.
- 1:13:54When we look at all age groups.
- 1:13:56So I don't know how that hits people, if maybe they thought it
- 1:13:59was, more common than maybe you would say, oh, it's the third leading
- 1:14:03cause of death, or it's the fifth.
- 1:14:05In, in general there's like the top 10 causes of death, but for suicide
- 1:14:10in the last, I looked at the data for the last 10 years and suicide
- 1:14:15plays this stance of either being number 10 or number 11 every year.
- 1:14:18Wow.
- 1:14:19So it'll either be the 10th, one year or the 11th, but it hovers right around,
- 1:14:25it's either the 10th or the 11th.
- 1:14:26And the things that come before that are heart disease, cancer, stroke,
- 1:14:31accident diabetes, like the other kind of chronic health issues.
- 1:14:37And so suicide is down there.
- 1:14:38It's not very common.
- 1:14:40So it's usually not the thing that takes somebody out.
- 1:14:44Now that's for all age groups.
- 1:14:46Now if you look at just 10 to thir 34 year olds, it's the second.
- 1:14:51So for those.
- 1:14:52Ages.
- 1:14:54It's a second leading cause of death.
- 1:14:56So if I have a 10-year-old to 34-year-old as a parent, that's a pretty high risk.
- 1:15:03I gotta watch 'em, right?
- 1:15:04If suicide is the second thing that kills that age group, you have to watch
- 1:15:10out for suicide differently, right?
- 1:15:13So then for ages 35 to 44, it's the fourth.
- 1:15:18So that's a little different than the general rest of us.
- 1:15:22This is sad for people that are 85 and older, it's the highest
- 1:15:27it's, they are at the highest risk, which maybe makes sense, right?
- 1:15:32Wow.
- 1:15:32That they are very high risk of suicide.
- 1:15:35And so isn't that kind of better to know?
- 1:15:38So again, the thing about suicide is nobody knows anything.
- 1:15:42So then how can we be watching out appropriately if we don't even know how.
- 1:15:48How much are we supposed to watch out?
- 1:15:50So that's just, 1 0 1 by the numbers.
- 1:15:5380% of all suicides are men.
- 1:15:59So we need to watch our boys and our men differently.
- 1:16:05They're more at risk.
- 1:16:07And when there's a suicide, 55.3% of the time it's with a firearm.
- 1:16:14So maybe everybody thinks that.
- 1:16:16I don't know.
- 1:16:18I was surprised by what the second one is.
- 1:16:20So what would you guess is the second one might.
- 1:16:27That no idea
- 1:16:29for me.
- 1:16:30I guessed that it was like a overdose.
- 1:16:32I guessed that.
- 1:16:33Oh,
- 1:16:33okay.
- 1:16:33The second way that someone would kill themself is they
- 1:16:36overdose on pills or something.
- 1:16:37That's what I would think.
- 1:16:39But it's, that won't
- 1:16:39make
- 1:16:41It's hanging.
- 1:16:42Hanging.
- 1:16:43Oh my God,
- 1:16:44yes.
- 1:16:45See, I didn't I wouldn't have thought that, I don't think of that.
- 1:16:48I think of suicide maybe with a fi firearm.
- 1:16:51I'm probably thinking that.
- 1:16:52Yeah.
- 1:16:52But I'm really not thinking about hanging.
- 1:16:56I'm just, I don't have that in there, but that's, that is the
- 1:17:00second highest way that people do it.
- 1:17:03Okay, so now just real quick again this is surprising to me.
- 1:17:08We'll see in the chat how it hits you guys is, so this is by occupation.
- 1:17:14Okay.
- 1:17:14So now remember my question was, is suicide a choice?
- 1:17:19Now here's the hard data.
- 1:17:21If you're in construction and extraction.
- 1:17:24Extraction means like mining, oil and gas, working in a quarry.
- 1:17:29They have the highest rate of suicide.
- 1:17:33Now.
- 1:17:33How come?
- 1:17:34It's just their job.
- 1:17:37They have the highest rate per a hundred thousand of suicides.
- 1:17:41So somebody is suicidal.
- 1:17:43And then what's their occupation?
- 1:17:45Somebody's collecting data on that.
- 1:17:48Construction workers are the highest risk of suicide.
- 1:17:51The next ones are maintenance and repair people.
- 1:17:55So now, I'm all about brain injuries and stuff, so I know why I look at that.
- 1:18:01Of all the stuff I do with the brain injuries and how many concussions I
- 1:18:06work with, and I'm like, oh, that's because they have the most brain damage.
- 1:18:11It's right there.
- 1:18:13So many in the chat said female pill pills.
- 1:18:16So you're.
- 1:18:16Looking at men are using firearms and hanging themselves.
- 1:18:20How about women?
- 1:18:21Do they use pills more?
- 1:18:22They use pills more.
- 1:18:23Yep.
- 1:18:25Good.
- 1:18:25Elvira.
- 1:18:25Good job.
- 1:18:26I was surprised that they there's women that still use
- 1:18:30hanging and that surprises me.
- 1:18:33Yeah.
- 1:18:33So women, it's hanging or medication and it is less likely to be firearm.
- 1:18:42That is a real thing.
- 1:18:43So then let's all be aware of that.
- 1:18:45When men are really not doing well, take the guns outta your damn.
- 1:18:50I do that all the time.
- 1:18:51When I have somebody that comes in and somebody is not well, especially
- 1:18:55somebody that has a lot of bad brain stuff going on, I call their family.
- 1:18:59I get their permission.
- 1:19:00That's how we do it.
- 1:19:01I get their permission, they sign a form and I say, I want
- 1:19:04you to go around the house.
- 1:19:05I want you to take all of it out of the house.
- 1:19:07And it's just what you do.
- 1:19:09Until we do our intervention, we rehab the brain, then you
- 1:19:13can bring them all back later.
- 1:19:14But there's no reason to take a risk when somebody's BA brain is broken.
- 1:19:19Why would we do that?
- 1:19:20It's not smart.
- 1:19:22Look at the ne the next one.
- 1:19:23This one surprised me.
- 1:19:24Nail salons and people that work in a personal care industry.
- 1:19:28So that's also a hairstylist.
- 1:19:31That's also like medical assistance like dental assistance
- 1:19:36and theirs is really high.
- 1:19:38So why are they up there on suicide?
- 1:19:41It's because they're have chemical poisoning.
- 1:19:44Yeah.
- 1:19:45Wow.
- 1:19:45This is the suicide list, right?
- 1:19:48This is why people kill themself.
- 1:19:52So how come it's looks like this?
- 1:19:56Because maybe they didn't choose to be suicidal.
- 1:20:00Maybe they didn't choose to leave.
- 1:20:02Maybe they have chemical poisoning.
- 1:20:04Maybe they have a horrible brain injury from a piece of construction
- 1:20:09equipment falling on their head.
- 1:20:11Sure.
- 1:20:12So then we have police and firemen.
- 1:20:15Now police and firemen have a lot of stress, but I'll tell
- 1:20:19you, I'm a I'm an EAP provider.
- 1:20:21For Phoenix Fire and Phoenix Police.
- 1:20:23And so I work with tons of them, and they usually are struggling with depression
- 1:20:29because they have a head injury.
- 1:20:31The police officers fall trip, they certainly have stress, but
- 1:20:36they have a lot of head injuries.
- 1:20:37And the fire firemen fall, have things fall on 'em.
- 1:20:41They're on a run and stuff falls on 'em in the truck.
- 1:20:44They fall off ladders.
- 1:20:46And they are also very likely to have chemical poisoning.
- 1:20:50And they actually have very high rates of death by cancer because they're
- 1:20:55exposed to so many toxic poisonous
- 1:20:59their fires are super toxic.
- 1:21:01Horrible.
- 1:21:02Yeah.
- 1:21:02And even the suits, I found out from a guy that's trying to help.
- 1:21:06Firemen get into more less toxic suits.
- 1:21:08There's suits that have all these chemicals on them.
- 1:21:11Make 'em fire retardant that's giving 'em cancer.
- 1:21:14Yeah.
- 1:21:14And a lot of my firemen that I work with at Phoenix Fire, like I've gotten
- 1:21:18to know a lot of them, and so now a lot of their friends have died of cancer.
- 1:21:21So there's a certain group of them that are working on that, and I work with 'em.
- 1:21:25And so what they were telling me is it's like a thing there's a tough
- 1:21:29guy, vibrato part of the culture of being a fireman, which makes sense.
- 1:21:33They are pretty tough, badass people.
- 1:21:35And so there's like a thing where it's not cool.
- 1:21:38Like you go to a fire and then you're, what you're supposed to do is you're
- 1:21:42supposed to go back to the house and you're supposed to not take your mask off.
- 1:21:45You're supposed to hose yourself down and you're gonna, you're supposed to
- 1:21:49at least rinse some of that gross stuff off before you take it off and breathe.
- 1:21:53But none of 'em do it because it's like a sissy thing to do.
- 1:21:57Like for a fireman, it's I'm a tough guy so I can breathe in all this stuff.
- 1:22:01And I, it's it's a part of being tough.
- 1:22:03So none of them have been doing it all this all these years.
- 1:22:06So like they're out on a fire, they'll take their mask off and sit around
- 1:22:10and chat and it's like a tough guy thing of I can be in here and I don't
- 1:22:14have to have all my stuff on, and then they just don't follow all that
- 1:22:18as by the letter as they should.
- 1:22:20And now they're starting to do it because their cancer risk is so high and they've
- 1:22:23been going to funerals of their friends.
- 1:22:26And now there's a couple guys that I work with that have had one of their
- 1:22:30best friends died and so they are on their own going around to all the
- 1:22:35firehouses and just doing education.
- 1:22:37And they're making
- 1:22:38good.
- 1:22:38The fire, the Phoenix Fire Department.
- 1:22:41It was one of their family members, I think, that also died of cancer recently.
- 1:22:44So she's making all of them take the training from these guys and the
- 1:22:49guys are somewhat open to it, but they're also like resistant to it.
- 1:22:52So like firemen really?
- 1:22:54It's from chemicals.
- 1:22:56Yeah.
- 1:22:56Then
- 1:22:57I got a guy that does wild horses and he came on my show and his wife
- 1:23:01unfortunately died a very tragic death.
- 1:23:04And it was from inhalation of smoke from forest fires.
- 1:23:08And he went into studying that and he said, people die from forest fires.
- 1:23:12You see that and so forth.
- 1:23:14But the numbers of people that die from inhalation they're not telling us they're
- 1:23:17in the tens of thousands every year.
- 1:23:20Then maybe that's 'cause I couldn't really make sense of this.
- 1:23:23Farming, fishing and forestry.
- 1:23:24I was like, how come there's, oh wow.
- 1:23:27Because see, I was like, how are they getting head injuries?
- 1:23:30Like the first few, I was like, oh, that's all traumatic brain injury.
- 1:23:33All those first two, they're dying of traumatic brain injury.
- 1:23:36The second one, obviously chemicals, fire, but farming and fishing, I was
- 1:23:40like, what's happening to those guys?
- 1:23:42How come?
- 1:23:42Yeah.
- 1:23:42Now forestry is dangerous.
- 1:23:44So if you're actually chopping trees down, that is one of the most
- 1:23:48dangerous professions that there is.
- 1:23:51Yep.
- 1:23:51' cause a tree falls on you and so I didn't really understand the fishing
- 1:23:56and thing that maybe it's chemicals.
- 1:23:58Yeah.
- 1:23:58And I don't know
- 1:24:00chemicals that come off of fires are soup.
- 1:24:02Oh,
- 1:24:02horrible.
- 1:24:03Toxic.
- 1:24:03Yeah.
- 1:24:04Yep.
- 1:24:04So then
- 1:24:05just out in the forest, it doesn't have to be like homes and stuff
- 1:24:08like that, which is obviously toxic, but the forest fires are toxic.
- 1:24:12Crazy.
- 1:24:13Yeah.
- 1:24:13That's probably what that one is then.
- 1:24:15And so then,
- 1:24:15oh, that makes sense.
- 1:24:16Huh?
- 1:24:16How about that?
- 1:24:17So then production and manufacturing, maybe I get that.
- 1:24:20But now remember we're looking at a list of suicide.
- 1:24:23So it's okay, people that work in factories, people that
- 1:24:27work in manufacturing, why is there risk of suicide so high?
- 1:24:31Because you're like, okay, I work at a factory, I work on an assembly line.
- 1:24:35Now I could see that there's there's accidents that happen on an assembly
- 1:24:39line, but this is the suicide list, right?
- 1:24:42So for some reason, people that work in manufacturing and work for factories,
- 1:24:47they have a high higher risk of suicide.
- 1:24:50I can't say that I've worked with that many of them, but I would say there's
- 1:24:54a high potential for toxic fumes.
- 1:24:57Maybe they work where there's not adequate ventilation and it may be
- 1:25:03that stuff falls on 'em, like that could make sense in a big factory.
- 1:25:08So there's something going on there 'cause they're up there on the suicide.
- 1:25:12List Now the next one, arts, entertainment, and media.
- 1:25:17Okay.
- 1:25:17So people that are now, I work with lots of these people,
- 1:25:21actors rock stars producers.
- 1:25:25Producers are some of the most unhealthy people, like people that are movie
- 1:25:30producers, like when they come in and we're working on a team, like
- 1:25:34there's a couple of therapists that we always get stuck on those cases
- 1:25:37because they're very hard to work with.
- 1:25:39They're not very well people.
- 1:25:41And it is what is that about?
- 1:25:43Why are they so in bad shape?
- 1:25:46I have some sense 'cause I've worked with 'em but it's a thing.
- 1:25:50And so actors anybody in the entertainment and media, they, they are very
- 1:25:57pretty decently high risk of suicide.
- 1:25:59And they, they do have a lot of mental health issues.
- 1:26:02So that's huh?
- 1:26:03You wouldn't necessarily think that intuitively, right?
- 1:26:06Yeah.
- 1:26:07So now we're gonna do a little bit of veterans.
- 1:26:09So first just male female veterans.
- 1:26:13Obviously males a lot more, 37.8 compared to 13.9.
- 1:26:18So a lot more for males than females.
- 1:26:22And I don't know.
- 1:26:24See for me, whenever I get somebody, if I get a football player that comes in my
- 1:26:28office, I say, what position do you play?
- 1:26:30'cause that tells me everything about your brain, because your
- 1:26:35injuries happen based on position.
- 1:26:37When I work with somebody in the military, I say, what job did you do?
- 1:26:42And that tells me a lot, because it isn't just a one size.
- 1:26:47All veterans are saying, what job did you do?
- 1:26:50And I need to know a lot more about what did you do every day, where did you do
- 1:26:53it, and all that to figure out brain injuries, toxicity, and other stuff.
- 1:26:58So I don't know if there's a gender thing there, but there's a, in general
- 1:27:03for all age groups, 80% are men.
- 1:27:06Okay.
- 1:27:06So there's a lot of stuff about that too.
- 1:27:10Like the way that we raise boys is not the same as we raise girls.
- 1:27:15So boys in general are not given a as anywhere near the same amount of emotional
- 1:27:21support when they're little kids.
- 1:27:23And that affects brain development.
- 1:27:25It actually causes developmental damage.
- 1:27:30So
- 1:27:31interesting.
- 1:27:31So there, there are some gender differences with some of these outcomes
- 1:27:36that we're we already know about.
- 1:27:38And then.
- 1:27:39Because I'm a therapist, I can help men go back and repair some of the
- 1:27:44damage from their childhood where it was neglectful, emotionally neglectful.
- 1:27:48And I go in and straighten that up and I go and do the things that
- 1:27:52weren't done in the first place.
- 1:27:54And we do that in my office and it catches 'em up and their brain changes.
- 1:27:57So that's cool that we can even do that all these years later.
- 1:28:01I'm just let everybody know, whatever you missed as a kid, we can make up for it.
- 1:28:05If you know which thing you're making up for, then we can just course correct
- 1:28:09that stuff too, which that's fascinating that the brain lets us do that.
- 1:28:13Yeah.
- 1:28:13There's some guys in the chat that are saying, men don't get the support.
- 1:28:17You have boys,
- 1:28:17they don't
- 1:28:18type thing,
- 1:28:18yeah.
- 1:28:19Something happens to a little boy and we say, suck it up.
- 1:28:21Be tough.
- 1:28:22That's
- 1:28:22right.
- 1:28:23And something happens to a little girl and we pick her up and go, are you okay?
- 1:28:26I'm so sorry that happened.
- 1:28:28Are you all right?
- 1:28:29Little boys have the same nervous system.
- 1:28:31And so a little boy that falls, his nervous system is freaked out.
- 1:28:36And so he needs somebody to calm him down.
- 1:28:40And that actually is very chemical related.
- 1:28:44There's cortisol, there's adrenaline.
- 1:28:46That's a stress hormone.
- 1:28:48It's not good for your brain.
- 1:28:49So we're just gonna leave a little 8-year-old boy to soak
- 1:28:54in cortisol and adrenaline.
- 1:28:55It's bad for his brain, so then his brain is different than the little girl's brain.
- 1:29:01So that is real.
- 1:29:04So I get upset.
- 1:29:06I'm a girl.
- 1:29:07I have six brothers.
- 1:29:08I was only raised around boys.
- 1:29:11So I I can get mad at boys, but at the same time, I get boys.
- 1:29:15And I love to work with men.
- 1:29:16I work with tons of men, and I don't know I, I'm upset about how
- 1:29:21men have been treated in the world.
- 1:29:23I'm gonna just say it that way.
- 1:29:25That's nice.
- 1:29:25And so I love to try to sit and correct it on behalf of, I apologize
- 1:29:30on behalf of humanity, we didn't do right by you, but let's fix it.
- 1:29:34And I do a lot of that.
- 1:29:36Good
- 1:29:36job.
- 1:29:36So now we're gonna take military and we're gonna break it up by occupation.
- 1:29:40'cause some of these other occupations just are surprising.
- 1:29:43Were to me.
- 1:29:44So if you're in the infantry, if you're in armor and amphibious, so maybe you can
- 1:29:50explain that those are about the same.
- 1:29:55Yeah.
- 1:29:56Then
- 1:29:56You're protected in armor.
- 1:29:58So if you're inside a, a armored vehicle and, explosions go off
- 1:30:02your, pretty much for the most part.
- 1:30:05'cause you see in the military guys, it's 101, the lowest end compared to
- 1:30:10the top end of the, civilian, it's 69.
- 1:30:13So yeah, if you're in the military.
- 1:30:16Good chance you're gonna get some brain problems.
- 1:30:19Yeah.
- 1:30:20Okay.
- 1:30:20Now combat engineering, so maybe that's something different than what
- 1:30:26I think, but I know I've worked a, with a few guys that their job was,
- 1:30:30they were like the engineering part.
- 1:30:32Like they were in the tanks that were in the back and they were support,
- 1:30:36so they were the guys that set up all the tents, set up the showers,
- 1:30:40fixed all the equipment when it broke.
- 1:30:42Like they were kind of engineers and they were even when they were like, like in,
- 1:30:46in Afghanistan or Iraq, they were combat engineering, but they were always in the
- 1:30:49back, but they were always fixing stuff.
- 1:30:52But so they weren't right in the front of the action, but they still had
- 1:30:58lots of they would still vicariously get injured from things falling on
- 1:31:03'em when they were setting things up.
- 1:31:04Is that even what combat engineering is?
- 1:31:07That would just be the only reference point I have for that.
- 1:31:10It's the guys that come in and drop the bridges that go across, water
- 1:31:14and they can do demolition as well.
- 1:31:17That's pretty much what they do.
- 1:31:18If there's, some areas that need to be punched through, they can come in, put
- 1:31:22in, demolition, and that's, just my view.
- 1:31:26Yeah, there're probably a lot more to what they do anyway.
- 1:31:29But still, stuff
- 1:31:29falls on
- 1:31:30you a little bit more involved than the other three guys now Jennifer
- 1:31:33Allen, who's a total brainiac she's saying that this is as good as if
- 1:31:38she was in a graduate school class
- 1:31:40oh, yay.
- 1:31:41Thank you for that feedback.
- 1:31:43But, we don't talk about it.
- 1:31:45So that's the thing is like, how do we know anything?
- 1:31:47And so then how do we deal with figuring something out once it happens?
- 1:31:50Yeah.
- 1:31:50I was surprised by a lot of this too.
- 1:31:52So medical care specialists.
- 1:31:55So the people that are the me, medical people on these teams that go in
- 1:31:59They're at risk now.
- 1:32:01That's similar to the general population that physicians have twice the suicide
- 1:32:06rate of any other, anybody else.
- 1:32:09They're very high.
- 1:32:10They didn't make this little list of occupations, but they're twice the risk
- 1:32:14of the general population physicians.
- 1:32:16Yeah.
- 1:32:17So then it looks like in the military, that's also true too,
- 1:32:20is the medical people Yeah.
- 1:32:22End up very stressed out and more likely to be vulnerable to suicide.
- 1:32:29So
- 1:32:30I can vouch for that a little bit.
- 1:32:31I've done what's called live tissue training where they
- 1:32:35shoot up, animals and stuff and.
- 1:32:37Blast them.
- 1:32:38Oh.
- 1:32:38You keep them alive.
- 1:32:40So I remember my, I had a pig that I was working on and
- 1:32:43there was like 25 other groups.
- 1:32:45My, my pig lasted longer than all the other ones.
- 1:32:49Wow.
- 1:32:50But I can tell you after that I was traumatized.
- 1:32:53Yeah.
- 1:32:54I had ptsd, SD from that for a while.
- 1:32:55Yeah.
- 1:32:56See, I know that, I
- 1:32:57see how medics and so forth, would suffer.
- 1:33:00Yeah.
- 1:33:01I learned different things from just different clients that I
- 1:33:03work with, and then I just learn about their world a little bit.
- 1:33:06And the one thing I didn't put on here is medical residents.
- 1:33:10So the first year of medical residency, they're very high
- 1:33:14risk of suicide is number two.
- 1:33:17They're very, but that's like kind of who would think that when you as a parent,
- 1:33:22if my child wants to go to medical school and I support them and try to help them
- 1:33:26get into medical school and they're in the first year of residency, I don't
- 1:33:30know that, I don't have any idea that they're at a very high risk of suicide
- 1:33:35the first year of their residency.
- 1:33:37That's crazy.
- 1:33:38And it's been that way for a really long time.
- 1:33:40But the first thing that they die of in their first year of residency is cancer.
- 1:33:46Now why would that be the case?
- 1:33:49So they play with samples.
- 1:33:52Yeah.
- 1:33:52They're always in the lab playing with samples and doing chemicals
- 1:33:56and all that kind of stuff.
- 1:33:58And
- 1:33:58treatments.
- 1:33:59Yeah.
- 1:34:00So now I would be curious to go back with the military people if
- 1:34:04they're I would now look at their cancer rates and so sometimes, cancer
- 1:34:09and suicide have a relationship.
- 1:34:12But
- 1:34:12sure.
- 1:34:12But in general would you necessarily think that going to medical school puts
- 1:34:16you at extremely high risk of suicide
- 1:34:19if you're an empath?
- 1:34:21I would say so.
- 1:34:22Oh my gosh.
- 1:34:23Yeah.
- 1:34:23I
- 1:34:23can't tested if you're an empathic you need a little work on that because
- 1:34:27you're, take on all of the stress, all of the problems that you're working on.
- 1:34:31I'm an empath.
- 1:34:32So when I realized that, I started to, learn how to, set my mind and
- 1:34:37so forth, it made a difference.
- 1:34:39But that's what you would do is men, the four pillars, mental,
- 1:34:42emotional, physical, spiritual.
- 1:34:44So if you're in a very dangerous situation, you've gotta have a
- 1:34:47mitigation on all four levels.
- 1:34:49So what am I gonna do mentally?
- 1:34:51What am I gonna say to myself so I don't get damaged more by this experience?
- 1:34:55How am I gonna take care of myself emotionally?
- 1:34:58How am I gonna discharge the emotion so that they don't.
- 1:35:01Make me sick later or give me brain damage.
- 1:35:04Because emotional stress can change your immune system.
- 1:35:09It can put your immune system on hold so that you can't fight off illness.
- 1:35:14It can change your T cells, it can shorten the telomeres
- 1:35:19on the end of your DNA strand.
- 1:35:21So you don't just sit in emotional stress.
- 1:35:23It's like very, there's long line of physiological.
- 1:35:28I now that you're naming 'em off, you're like of course,
- 1:35:30but you, we just don't know.
- 1:35:32So this is like a graduate course though.
- 1:35:34Good
- 1:35:34job.
- 1:35:34And so you don't just sit around in stress, but again how are
- 1:35:39we supposed to figure that out?
- 1:35:40We don't learn it in school.
- 1:35:41I just accidentally learned it from going into the field that I
- 1:35:44learned and I'm like, oh my gosh.
- 1:35:46Note to self.
- 1:35:47Oh gosh.
- 1:35:48Okay.
- 1:35:48And, but.
- 1:35:50It is important that you know how to just keep yourself, like if something happened,
- 1:35:55mitigate it, and then you're good again.
- 1:35:58But what do, how do what do you look for?
- 1:35:59What's the map?
- 1:36:00So again, how come NCAA sports have different numbers?
- 1:36:06Like we're talking about suicide, right?
- 1:36:08Suicide on college, students who are athletes.
- 1:36:12So football makes sense to me for obvious reasons.
- 1:36:15Swimming.
- 1:36:18So if you have an NCAA college player, and they are a swimmer, they
- 1:36:22have a little bit higher risk of a suicide than a soccer player or a
- 1:36:27student that doesn't play a sport.
- 1:36:29I don't know.
- 1:36:30I, as a parent, I would like to know that.
- 1:36:32I would like to have a little heads up so I can take care of
- 1:36:36my kid a little different and support them a little different.
- 1:36:39And, yep.
- 1:36:39So swimming, I know that swimmers, do have accidents if they're a diver so
- 1:36:45they can hit their head on the board.
- 1:36:47I know that there's a lot of sexual and abuse that happens to swimmers.
- 1:36:52So there's a lot abuse that happens to swimmers across their career.
- 1:36:57Wow.
- 1:36:58There's also a lot of physical and sexual abuse that happens to football players.
- 1:37:02There's a culture of hazing in football that nobody talks about, and people get
- 1:37:09mad at me when I talk about it, but just parents that have football, kids, you need
- 1:37:15to know that you gotta really be vigilant and you gotta have those conversations
- 1:37:19so that your boys can protect themselves from being abused because
- 1:37:23they, they have these hazing rituals.
- 1:37:26Yeah.
- 1:37:26And sometimes just college also does that, but it's actually quite dangerous.
- 1:37:32And baseball players.
- 1:37:33And then soccer.
- 1:37:34Baseball players obviously get hit in the head with baseballs.
- 1:37:38They run into each other on the field.
- 1:37:40Yeah.
- 1:37:40And have really bad concussions from running into each other.
- 1:37:44Soccer players, obviously heading the ball.
- 1:37:46And also I've had a decent amount of soccer players that were ran close
- 1:37:50to the goal, and were trying to like headbutt and hit the actual goal pole.
- 1:37:55Oh my god.
- 1:37:56Really knocked themselves out and had a really bad concussion.
- 1:38:01And then here's my soap box as a brain-based therapist about sports,
- 1:38:06is whenever somebody actually gets a decent head injury and they actually
- 1:38:11show deficits, they can't really read, they can't concentrate, they're really
- 1:38:16showing significant concussive symptoms.
- 1:38:19And I say, alright, they have to take a break.
- 1:38:23They can't play sport this long.
- 1:38:26Usually a doctor is saying that too.
- 1:38:28And they also, there's a whole other thing like, don't make 'em read.
- 1:38:32I have to talk to their teachers because they can't be expected to do
- 1:38:36homework for a short amount of time.
- 1:38:38We have to let the brain recover and nobody listens to me.
- 1:38:43They all roll their eyes and they all go, in what world, Ms. Picarillo, are we gonna
- 1:38:49have the student not do their homework?
- 1:38:51Because don't you understand who they are and don't you understand
- 1:38:55they're on a scholarship and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:38:59And so nobody ever follows my treatment plans.
- 1:39:02Nobody ever does the rehab for players.
- 1:39:06Nobody lets them do it.
- 1:39:08If I have a player that is oh my God, I feel crazy, I don't feel good
- 1:39:12man, I'm worried about my own life.
- 1:39:15And when they wanna do it, the adults around them, don't let 'em.
- 1:39:21And I would say of all the cases I've worked, like 98%
- 1:39:24of them, that's what happens.
- 1:39:26I'm just being honest.
- 1:39:27Wow.
- 1:39:27So nobody, I
- 1:39:29saw a study where they they did it happened here in the United
- 1:39:32States, but we didn't go by it.
- 1:39:34But they didn't take any test all the way up until, the high school level.
- 1:39:39And the Swiss took, I think it was a Swiss that took that study and used it.
- 1:39:44And their performance of the Swiss students was like way over the top.
- 1:39:50Adjusted did exceptionally well.
- 1:39:52Here in the United States it's always performance.
- 1:39:55I'm telling you, and I would tell you that through all of this,
- 1:39:57there's performance anxiety.
- 1:39:59'cause I would experience that when I played sports.
- 1:40:02Oh, it's a huge thing.
- 1:40:03Perform
- 1:40:04at a certain level.
- 1:40:04You got a lot of people like deriding you, and same thing in the military.
- 1:40:09So there's that as well.
- 1:40:10Yeah.
- 1:40:11And just overworked.
- 1:40:12They're overworked.
- 1:40:13They're an athlete.
- 1:40:14They also have school.
- 1:40:15They also have, to do their laundry and eat and sleep and poop.
- 1:40:19And they're exhausted.
- 1:40:21And then they get a head injury and they can't change their schedule one iota.
- 1:40:26And I'm like, what are you people thinking?
- 1:40:29And then what usually happens, 'cause of course I track them and a lot of them,
- 1:40:34I just, I stay in contact with 'em and they eventually drop outta school, lose
- 1:40:38their scholarship, and end up at home.
- 1:40:41And I tried to tell 'em, I tried to tell you this isn't gonna work.
- 1:40:46And they don't listen.
- 1:40:47And then that happens all the time.
- 1:40:51So there's my soapbox now.
- 1:40:53Okay.
- 1:40:54Okay.
- 1:40:54Just quickly, let's talk about with David Wilcox again,
- 1:40:58right?
- 1:40:59He is talked about with suicide, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:41:01There's also these conversations that I've noticed about he's a narcissist.
- 1:41:05He's this, he's that.
- 1:41:07Somebody else around him might be a narcissist.
- 1:41:09All this.
- 1:41:10So not just with that, but most of us, people have these conversations
- 1:41:15and throw these words around, oh my gosh, they're a narcissist.
- 1:41:18This person is a sociopath, all that.
- 1:41:21So just by the numbers again for mental health, we talk about
- 1:41:26severe mental health, like bipolar, I think people do that too.
- 1:41:31They say, oh, that person is so bipolar.
- 1:41:34Oh, they're bipolar, and it's just a word that we throw around.
- 1:41:37So in general, bipolar is very rare.
- 1:41:42Only 2.8% of the population's gonna actually be bipolar.
- 1:41:46So maybe people are surprised by that.
- 1:41:48But from the number of people that I know that complain that
- 1:41:51someone in their life is bipolar, the numbers don't add up first.
- 1:41:55There's not that many of them.
- 1:41:57Okay?
- 1:41:57When those people are actually suicidal 10 to 19% of them
- 1:42:03complete, that's what the C is for.
- 1:42:05They complete their suicide.
- 1:42:07Okay?
- 1:42:08So still not that much.
- 1:42:09Not that much.
- 1:42:10Really, out of a hundred percent of people with bipolar 10 to 10 to 19%
- 1:42:15of them actually com complete suicide.
- 1:42:18So you're gonna definitely be watching that and paying attention,
- 1:42:22but that wouldn't be the actual answer for all suicides, right?
- 1:42:27Either.
- 1:42:28However, 20 to 60% of them will attempt.
- 1:42:32So for me as a mental health professional, it's really two different things and I can
- 1:42:37take care of both of 'em at the same time.
- 1:42:40But somebody attempting suicide is not always the same thing
- 1:42:44as somebody that's suicidal.
- 1:42:46This is one really big, complicated thing that I hope I can explain well,
- 1:42:52and if people have questions, ask me.
- 1:42:54But the thing is, somebody that is gonna commit suicide,
- 1:42:59they usually don't say a word.
- 1:43:01They just do it.
- 1:43:03Yeah.
- 1:43:05That's part of the problem.
- 1:43:09So that's why like for me, if I have information about suicide and I say,
- 1:43:13oh, I've got an athlete, or I've got a physician, they're at high risk.
- 1:43:17I've got a fireman, they're at high risk, I'm gonna already preventatively
- 1:43:21be paying attention to that.
- 1:43:23And if they have a head injury, I'm gonna get all the guns out of the
- 1:43:26house and I'm gonna get all the.
- 1:43:28I hate to say ropes.
- 1:43:29I'm gonna get knives, I'm gonna get, certain things are just gonna
- 1:43:32disappear and they're not gonna be able to find 'em for about three
- 1:43:35months and I'm just gonna do that.
- 1:43:39And then if somebody actively is what we call suicidal ideation.
- 1:43:46Okay, so that's the clinical term of somebody's just thinking about it.
- 1:43:50I'm thinking about it.
- 1:43:52I don't have a plan, but I just, I would just not like to be here anymore.
- 1:43:57Sometimes I just like to think about just checking out and leaving, and then
- 1:44:03we're supposed to do an assessment and say, okay, then do you have a plan?
- 1:44:06There's like a whole way that we deal with that, but it really isn't very
- 1:44:12correlated that somebody who attempts
- 1:44:17actually completes it.
- 1:44:18They're there are two different things.
- 1:44:21And I deal with both of them, but I deal with 'em super different because
- 1:44:25they're, to me, they're the, it's just as different as anxiety or depression.
- 1:44:31Yeah, they're mental health things, but they're so different
- 1:44:33and I deal with 'em different.
- 1:44:35If somebody threatens suicide and talks about suicide and all that,
- 1:44:38I handle it very different than if I just feel based on other other
- 1:44:45data points that they're suicidal.
- 1:44:47You have to deal with it on both sides.
- 1:44:50Wow.
- 1:44:50Borderline personality disorder.
- 1:44:52I don't know, Michael, if you've heard of borderline, like that one's
- 1:44:56not as common as somebody saying, oh, you're so bipolar or narcissistic.
- 1:45:02I think narcissistic is the one that everybody throws around the most.
- 1:45:06But borderline personality disorder is one that, for people who use
- 1:45:10that word, they mean you're crazy.
- 1:45:12Yeah.
- 1:45:13Oh my God, she's so borderline and that means she's crazy as hell.
- 1:45:18Right
- 1:45:18now borderline is mo more often diagnosed with females, like
- 1:45:23overwhelmingly more so there's like reasons for that, but that is a thing.
- 1:45:29But look at the number, the real people who actually meet the criteria to be an
- 1:45:33actual borderline personality sorter and they meet the criteria for the diagnosis,
- 1:45:381.4 to 5.9, so you're not gonna run
- 1:45:42across.
- 1:45:43I'm sorry, I got a, I got another show coming up, but okay.
- 1:45:44This has been fantastic.
- 1:45:46Back to David Wilcock, 'cause I'm gonna do a show with Kerry Cassidy after this,
- 1:45:50and we're gonna talk about Kerry Cassidy.
- 1:45:51Oh no.
- 1:45:52Are you really?
- 1:45:52Yeah, David as well.
- 1:45:54But so look at all the different things that could have been, causing a problem.
- 1:45:58That's cra Yeah, it's crazy
- 1:46:01and
- 1:46:02legitimate things and was it MK Ultra?
- 1:46:05We didn't quite get to that, but you know who, who knows?
- 1:46:08What, what happens?
- 1:46:09Was it, was he really taken out or did he take himself out or
- 1:46:14was he like, just pulled out?
- 1:46:17So it's,
- 1:46:18yeah,
- 1:46:19crazy.
- 1:46:21So let me, how do I go out of here?
- 1:46:26So you're, you should, you're I took you out, but you, you're not seeing me still.
- 1:46:30Oh,
- 1:46:31okay.
- 1:46:32No, let me see.
- 1:46:33How do I get back to you?
- 1:46:38I don't know.
- 1:46:39I don't know.
- 1:46:40Are you
- 1:46:40back?
- 1:46:42No.
- 1:46:42Am I back?
- 1:46:42We can see you.
- 1:46:44Oh, okay.
- 1:46:44I
- 1:46:44never gone.
- 1:46:45Okay.
- 1:46:46So we'll figure it out later.
- 1:46:47The thing is, with him, why does it, why do we need to say that?
- 1:46:53We know?
- 1:46:55Okay.
- 1:46:55So do we have all of the information that we would need to know?
- 1:47:00I don't.
- 1:47:01And I don't know.
- 1:47:02How much she would know.
- 1:47:04But I think that it could be true that he could have had mental health
- 1:47:09issues and maybe he had I don't know if there was mold in that house.
- 1:47:14I do know that one part that he said was, I gotta get outta
- 1:47:17here and I'll meet you outside.
- 1:47:21So that made me a little suspicious because he was like,
- 1:47:24I gotta get out of here, meaning I have to get outta the house.
- 1:47:27So then he was outside, so I don't know, it, was there
- 1:47:30something going on in the house?
- 1:47:32I, that would be one of my first questions.
- 1:47:34Then the second thing is, I'm sure that it's true that sometimes people fake
- 1:47:40their death and go do something else.
- 1:47:42I think that could be true and I don't know a lot about that.
- 1:47:47I haven't worked with anybody that's done that.
- 1:47:49I have worked with people that are in witness protection program.
- 1:47:53I've worked with a few.
- 1:47:55So I do know a little bit about that, which before I worked with somebody,
- 1:47:59I would be like, is that even real?
- 1:48:02If you don't know about it, then you don't know about it.
- 1:48:04So I know that's a thing now.
- 1:48:05I don't know that
- 1:48:07We really gotta go.
- 1:48:07This, I'm gonna have to wrap it up here.
- 1:48:09Okay.
- 1:48:09Thank you.
- 1:48:11Dot com and so you're still open to working with people?
- 1:48:15Yes.
- 1:48:16So I have space now that usually I'm not, but I do, I could work
- 1:48:20with a few people right now,
- 1:48:21oh, good.
