Scott Manduck's Radical Shift to Natural Remedies and Vibrational Healing
When my Canadian comrade Scott Manduck sits down to chat, it's not just about catching up — it's a deep dive into transforming one's life and health in the face of adversity. Scott's tale begins in the unexpected waters of holistic health when his wife's medical odyssey, sprawling from shoulder discomfort to crippling nerve pain, demanded a drastic course correction from traditional treatments to alternative avenues. This episode unfolds the narrative of a family's unwavering quest for wellness, intertwined with their discovery of the integral role dental health plays in our systemic well-being. Scott's story is a testament to the power of adaptability and the necessity for each of us to become lifelong learners in the quest for health.
The journey into the realm of self-care doesn't stop at the gums. As I recount with a dose of healthy skepticism, the promise of frequency-infused products beckoned, challenging my preconceptions with undeniable results. We probe the science of vibrational frequencies and Schumann resonance, revealing the profound influence these natural forces can have on our physical state. The conversation also ventures into the great outdoors, considering the healing embrace of nature versus the stifling embrace of urban living, and the pervasive, unseen hazards of electromagnetic fields from our ubiquitous electronic devices.
But it's not all about what ails us — this chat with Scott is also a celebration of natural remedies and proactive lifestyle shifts. Imagine swapping out your chemical-laden cleaning arsenal for the simple, yet potent, blend of vinegar and essential oils, unlocking not only a clean home but also an uplifted mood and a safer environment for your loved ones. This episode encapsulates the essence of a family's commitment to a healthier, more harmonious life, and it may just inspire you to rethink the ingredients, both tangible and intangible, that make up your own day-to-day existence. Join us for a conversation that's sure to plant the seeds of curiosity and growth in your own journey towards natural wellness.

Hey you, wherever you are right now. Thank you so much for being here with me today. We know that we live in some volatile times and we know that the world is changing, so let's create a bridge as we travel through one another's countries, removing all the labels, coming together as one people finding our home in one world. And as we do this, this is why our signature talk today is so important. I am so excited to welcome my guest speaker today, Scott Mandog. He is a friend from Canada and we've already done an interview previously where he's interviewed me, and I'm excited to interview him today, and I really just want to say thank you so much because I'm so excited to have you here today, Scott, because I know you have a wealth of information our audience could definitely use. So thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2:Perfect. Thanks for having me on the show so excited. That was such a great intro. That was so good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so. So Scott is with us, from Canada, as I said, and, scott, you have an amazing, amazing story, an amazing journey with you and your family, especially your wife, and as we have this conversation today, I would just, you know, encourage you to really engage us in a lot of information around how this process started for you and help our audience understand it. I know your story, but we want to make sure that they have a clear idea of what's happened in your life. So why don't we just get started from the top? So like take us back a few years back, when this all started for you, and what exactly are we talking about? Because I'm really creating a mystery here.
Speaker 2:Yes, you are, I love it. Dun dun dun.
Speaker 2:Dun dun dun what we're going to be talking about is self-directed healthcare and how that came to be in our life, as this was not a normal situation that we're living in today, which we call self-directed healthcare in our family, and what we do and we educate around the world. Now. Our normal world 11 years ago was I've been running my own business for many, many years. I'm in the printing and marketing space for 25 plus years and work with Google, microsoft, disney, adidas, nike, toyota you name all the big brands. That was my world and I lived that world 10 hours a day, seven days a week. This was my life. I have two amazing kids. They're now 13 and 11. My wife, she just turned 50. She was an ultrasound technographer and very popular hospitals here in Toronto, canada, and about 10 and a half years ago, our world changed a little bit and as our world is changing now and it will continue to change in different directions and pivots here, there or ever I want you to welcome that, because that is where education happens. We really now say life is a school, and it truly is, because you're always learning, you're always finding new things out, good and bad. It's just how you deal with them and how you react and change your path for the better. We hope that will really change your life and your kid's life and the way that you operate.
Speaker 2:So, jumping into that, about 11 years ago my wife started having some weird odd symptoms that turned into bigger ailments down the road, and a lot of those had to do with when you're a sonographer an ultrasound tech, if you will you always have a sore shoulder, sore neck, because you've been doing it for so long. It was long hours. You're always in a weird position and stuff like that. So that was just a normal one. It's like okay, it's just an ultrasound shoulder, whatever, we'll just put it off to that, we'll see, get some massage done, maybe get some acupuncture done, maybe even Cairo done. And we're going through those hoops and what was starting to happen is more ailments and more symptoms started to pile up on top of them, because we didn't know what was really happening. So the sore shoulder turned into headaches, turned into migraines, turned into fogginess, turned into eye pressure, eye soreness, loss of muscle mass started to happen, nerve pain to the degree, do you know? When you sleep on your arm and it starts, you start to wake up and it's sore for about six, seven seconds. That was her entire body for years, right, head to toe.
Speaker 2:So then, obviously, foot pain, back pain, joint pain all these started to compile on top of those other symptoms and we started going through the typical routine a normal person would happen in North America, if you will is you see your family doctor, you get blood work, you get an ultrasound, you get a CAT scan, you get an MRI, you see a neurologist and you start playing, you start going around and with that because they're doing the best they can to really truly help you and they are to the best of their ability in understanding what your ailments and symptoms are they start prescribing you different things to try to help deal with those symptoms and ailments. So, with all that happening and now being on Lyrica, which is a nerve-glocking agent, literally right, percocet painkillers, antidepressants because anytime that your body's in that sort of mode we call it fire flight mode literally they start. You start going down the rabbit hole of depression, right, anxiety kicks in and all these other ailments start adding on top of it. So it started getting. It was getting pretty bad and when she was, I think 41, 42, somewhere around that time, her walking up we have about 10 stairs, from our main floor to our second floor maybe 11 stairs and for her to go from one step to the next was literally like step you wait a few seconds. Next step, wait a few seconds, next step. It was like there's no way that this is going to be our life. You're 41, 42 years old and you're walking up the stairs like you're 150, it can't be.
Speaker 2:So we started researching and obviously talking to our practitioners and listening to what they had to say, listening to feedback like I know it doesn't reside, it doesn't really resonate with us. Let's, we'll try some stuff, but let's keep on researching. So we start researching at home and this is where that self-directed healthcare term that we use a lot in our house really came to be is we started researching everything we possibly can and all those different symptoms and ailments and started looking for answers on our own. And the reason I'm telling you that part is it's so important for you to understand what's going around in your space and what's going on in your body. You understand your body best than anybody. You really, truly feel and understand what's happening. You may not know the medical terms or the health reasons, but you know that something is off and that should be the trigger for you to go.
Speaker 2:I need to look into this on my own, and what we did we kind of laugh at it now is we turned to Dr Google and Dr Facebook. Right, and we laugh at it because it's like there's a lot of really good information and a lot of bad information. The cool part is is you can choose what's good and what's bad and what resonates with you, right, as long as you're in the mindset of I'm not going to keep on piling on medications on my own, right, and you can start trying different things to try to help yourself. Right, getting rid of sugars, getting rid of inflammation type foods. They're like oh, that's a thing, are you kidding me? So it's like okay. So we came across this ad that was in Facebook, and I hate ads in Facebook. It's like I'm not a person that goes in and go no, don't display ad. Why? Because you're annoying, like it just drives me nuts.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, this amazing book by Dr Amy Meiners, the Autoimmune Solutions, came across. So my wife got that book. She read through it and she was like oh, this resonates with me, this makes sense. It literally makes sense. Of course, within the book she's trying to sell you on these other items, which she has a lot of good books. So she's introducing these other books, right. But if you take the nuggets out of that book, where 80% of ailments are typically from inflammation in our body, that's a good start for us as a society, with so much crap that we're dealing with, we need to go yeah, let's reduce our inflammation. So, with this, we start going through the book. So reducing obviously like tomatoes. So go to Google and type in high inflammation foods, research it self-directed, right, people. So look it up.
Speaker 2:High inflammation foods Start thinking about this is because the food that you put in your body is medicine. It's the fuel that the Lamborghini needs to run right. And you talk to nutritionists. We talk to two separate nutritionists. They're different. Everyone's body is different. What you need and what someone else's needs are could be left and right, apples and oranges, literally.
Speaker 2:And the reason I'm telling this is because we tried the vegetarian, we tried GoVegan and it was literally killing my wife, right? So what I'm saying is you need to figure out what's right for you in your body and the fuel that it needs. So my wife needed a little bit of red meat, a little bit of chicken, not a lot, not huge portions, but enough for her body to go okay, yeah, perfect, this is what I needed. And then, of course, lots of veggies and fruits and stuff like this, but it's got to be the right veggies and the right fruits, right? So, like tomatoes, kale, legumes, almonds all these are high inflammation foods, but they're also in high oxalates, right.
Speaker 2:High oxalates also have similar triggers as high inflammation, right? So if you're dealing with stuff and ailments, you really need to look into what you're eating and what you're drinking, right? Another big one is obviously water, of course, good quality water, right? You need to look at that because there's a lot of stuff that's in our waters and you need to be you need to be aware of these things right. Where we were not, and because the our water wasn't as where it should be, my wife kept on getting gastric ulcers, so we had to put a system in place in our house where our water was we call it now drinkable. Where before it was drinkable, we just didn't know what we were drinking right so that's a big part of it.
Speaker 2:And when we started going down that room and after a few weeks of basically watching what she was eating, in a way of changing the way that we eat getting rid of gluten, caffeine, sugars, alcohols and stuff like this, where these are not natural products, where our body naturally wants natural things it became really, really clear that our body was like this is good. We're going to start making some shifts for you. Thank you, right, that your body's thanking you. So, with that, all that tingling nerve pain that I was telling you about started to subside, right, because of where our body was full of. Her body was full of inflammation. We didn't really know it, right, she's not like she's a big lady yeah, she's not like she can. She's five foot seven. She's 250 pounds. Right, she's five foot seven. She was 135 pounds. So you couldn't really really really tell that she was full of inflammation, but inflammation sits in your body in weird ways, right. So pay attention to this, right. So start with reducing your inflammation a little bit and then going down this journey. We're like she had two root canals done.
Speaker 2:This part just blows my mind, like to, even today, like, even though this happened many years ago. Even talking about it today still blows my mind because of a documentary that we found that came across our feed in Facebook, because we were talking about dentistry, about root canals, about how our teeth were hurting and when that was happening. Of course, weird stuff happens in Facebook. You start to see ads, right, which is the way it works, which is okay. We came across a documentary called the Root Cause. This documentary, the root cause, was taking off of Netflix because the dental association was not having, wasn't having too much fun with it. Put it, put it, put it lightly. So we started watching this documentary and I was at the office, funny enough, and my wife called me. He's like I just watched this.
Speaker 2:You need to watch this. We're gonna have supper tonight in front of the TV. We're gonna watch. She was all excited because it was literally her life story of what was happening, right? So if you get it, if you're dealing with stuff and weird ailments and it's, you can't really figure what it is. Watch the documentary. It's great information and what it is I'll give you this close notes version is it has to do with root canals Root canals that are in your mouth and you take out your teeth and they take the roots out and they put screws back in.
Speaker 2:What they're not telling you is they don't fill that little gap at the end of your teeth or the end of that screw and when that happens Remember people, it's in your mouth, it's warm, it's moist and a root canal they leave a small dead part of the skin inside that root canal. It's a breeding ground for bacteria and not the good kind we want in our body, right? So if you think, think about that and picture that over time she was always saying it just feels weird. My tooth feels weird. It feels like it's swollen, it's inflammation. We go back. We get an x-ray. We go see another dentist. We get an x-ray. We go see another dentist, get an x-ray. Three different dentists three, not one of them picked up that there's bacteria growing underneath her root canal, until we found Something in Google. We're typing in inflammation, soreness by root canal. Oh, check this out. There's actually a proper scan that you can get and it's called a bone a B. Was it a bone beam scan, like a cone scan, which is like an MRI for your mouth, and it looks for bacteria. So like are you kidding me? So we looked this up in Google. Bones can near me is like okay, yeah, there's one half hour down the road, let's, let's hook it up.
Speaker 2:No, behold, what we found is that she had, like, when we actually had it before we actually found, we found out she had bacteria in her mouth. She's like okay, now what? So then it is like well, you need a holistic dentist to remove it. We're like an holistic dentist. What the heck is that? That's a thing? You kidding me? An elastic dentist. Actually, that that's. That's a. That's a place that you go to deal with your teeth. What's wrong with a dentist? So the difference between the two we're like this just doesn't make sense. So, no behold, when you have that type of bacteria and you go to extract it. You want to make sure that all that bacteria doesn't get lodged into your mouth and back into your body, because it's very dangerous. It's like, okay, so we go there, we get it removed. No behold, when we had those two teeth extracted, the size of the bacteria that was connected to that screw was the size of my pinky nail.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2:That was lodged in her jaw for five years Five years of bacteria growing in her body. Now, if you remember all those elements that I was talking about, now, on top of that she needs to detox all this bacteria in her body. We're like, oh my grace, this is not good, right, so then, okay, so where can we figure out what type of bacteria she's dealing with? Because then we can Potentially get antibiotics. We can do different things to help kill that bacteria off and detox it. Right, no, behold, nowhere in Canada you can get a biopsy done of a tooth. It just doesn't exist. So we had to send it to the states. So we sent it to the states, paid the 800 bucks, got a report two weeks later she had nine no, 16 different types of bacteria. Now we're lodged in her jaw 16 and these this is not the good bacteria that you want. So it's like, okay, this is, at least we now know what we're dealing with.
Speaker 2:When she had extracted, that night, that night, when she slept, her eye pressure was reduced by about 80%. Her fogginess was gone by about 80%. Right, the stiffness in the back of her neck was down by about 60 to 70%. This is from her teeth, from the two tooth. Like the two teeth being removed, like, are you kidding me? So the more research we do, is we find out that your teeth are like the breakers to your body and I'm like what are you talking about?
Speaker 2:She's like, yeah, your teeth are connected to different parts of your organs and stuff like that. I'm like, okay, so then we're talking to this holistic dentist and all the other practitioners always told that my wife Was having issues with her liver detoxing and functionality. Take a wild guess what two teeth are connected to her liver? Those two teeth, wow. Once they're removed within about a month. What do you think starts working a little bit better.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, starting to heal itself. Right, because our bodies are designed to heal itself right. As long as we give our body the right tools, our body will self heal. But it's giving us the right tools that our body needs to do that and that's who we're now finding out. So we're down this rabbit, this holistic rabbit hole. Now it's like this is the winning ticket. Talking to our practitioners, but also doing it holistically, we start finding some good results.
Speaker 2:So, going through this, we're like, okay, we have this out. Now we need to make sure it doesn't get infected. This is what our friend introduced us to essential oils. We're like, okay, and at that point I'm skeptical, like beyond belief might get these snake oils things out of here. I don't want this, because it's not what the heck is an essential oil going to do to help us. Really, come on, people, right, because it's just not mainstream. It's not a thing that we go to CVS or Walgreens or walmart or Shoppers, drug Mart or whatever to get prescriptions, whatever it's not, it's not that. So how can that work? Right, thinking the mind shift.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So, going through this, my wife started to use a little bit of the essential oils here and there and I'm like, yeah, whatever, it's not gonna do anything, it just smells pretty. And then we had as we called the the ah moment, where it was kind of a slap in the back of the head and to shoe the mouth for me because I realized the powers of essential oils in an instance, and it's it's a little of emotional story because of how it happened, but I'm glad it happened, um, because it opened our eyes to a lot, a much bigger world. And, as I was saying before, is that I've been running my own business for a long, long time and I work long hours. And it was around 11, 11 30 at night and I'm sitting downstairs watching a movie and both kids are asleep. My wife um is taking a bath with some epsom salt part of her detox stuff that she's working on and I hear some crying. I'm like that's odd. So I go upstairs, check the kids it's obviously not the kids.
Speaker 2:I go into our bedroom and my wife is on basically all fours in fetal position, balling her eyes out in pain. I'm like what in the heck is going on? And she's like just give me a second. I'm like no, what's going on? Are you okay? I am I phoning the ambulance like is it that okay? Or give me a second, like I'll be okay, don't phony ambulance. So it was like just give me a second. So it's like okay. So I'm thinking to myself once again every second matters. I'm calling the ambulance, I don't care what you say, I start walking over there. She's like no, just give me a second. It's like okay, because she knows soon as she gets there, they're gonna probably put more antibiotics in her and stuff like that, which may cause more issues. But she's already thinking that, right, and so it's like okay, so be at the our bedside.
Speaker 2:We have a, some essential oils and some carrier oil. So remember that we should be using carrier oil before we put the essential oils on her. And me, being a guy, as most men do, just throwing out there guys, and what we're listening is we don't listen all the time we out of a full sentence will catch her maybe a couple of those words, right, and I was lucky enough that those are the two that I remember. Probably didn't be trouble, but anyways. So it's like okay, I'll throw some carrier oil. So I grabbed the bottle, squeezed the carrier oil in my hand, it went all over me, all over the floor. I was like are you kidding me? And it's like whatever. So I grabbed some lemongrass and I grabbed some lavender. I started rubbing on her belly and I was going around to her lower back and it was like okay, I said I hope this helps, but it's not gonna do anything. I'm gonna phone the ambulance, like just give me a second.
Speaker 2:So it was about maybe 45 seconds, maybe a minute that I waited, which was in like hours, when everything's working in slow motion like that. And she sat up and I'm like so what's going on? You, okay, and I'm a little bit of a jokester, right. So it's funny, because I was like so did you too? She's like no, why would you say that? I'm like I don't know, be me those gas paints, what the heck man. And she's like no, I'm like okay. So what's going on? Like, do you want me to drive you to the hospital? It's like literally a 10 minute drive. Not even. She's like no, I'm like. So you okay now she's like I think. So I'm like okay. So she stands up, we're talking.
Speaker 2:And at that moment it was like a big club in the back of the head. It's like, you realize, you just put essential oils on her and it helped with something. I didn't know what it was, because we didn't know what it was, and I'm like, okay, so that was a big trigger for me because she was in the point of pain, of tears, and that's not going to emerge. I put essential oils on her and she's now sitting up talking to me. I need to understand More about essential oils what they are, how they are, how they work, how they affect us in the body and stuff like that. That's doing my brains now going, just flowing through this quickly. And we didn't use medication, we didn't use any kind of weird stuff like that, or creams or anything like that. So it's like I need to understand this. And that was my moment where I was like, okay, I need to remember I'm a marketer right to myself, so I market it to myself. So I built myself a website to understand what each product can do, how it works in the body and how it affects our body, right? So going through this research, I started figuring out that not all essential oils are created equal as well, which was kind of scary because, once again, back to the marketing, it's all about branding on the front of those products that we see, right? So when I'm doing this, I'm like you kidding me, wait a second.
Speaker 2:So that natural cleaning solutions that we use to clean our house, are they really natural? Are they organic, as they say they are? I'm like, come on, there's no way. I'm like, shoot. So I got home from work, kids got home from school. I'm like, hey, kids, go to the bathroom upstairs, go to our bathroom upstairs. I'm gonna go to the basement, I'm gonna go to our kitchen, go to our laundry room. I want you to pull all the cleaning solutions we have in the house and bring them all to the table. Like what, what's wrong with you? I'm like, oh, let's do a family exercise. This is gonna be fun. They're like, really. It's like, yeah, come on, let's go. So we pulled all those cleaning solutions to our kitchen table and I said, now turn all the bottles backwards. Like what? Like what are you doing, dad? Like what's going on? I'm like I want to see something. I want to do it together as a family. No behold, every cleaning solution that we had in the house had chemicals, fillers, pesticides and tons of crap in them, every single one of them.
Speaker 2:So going through the essential oils and understanding how you can breathe something in affects your cellular structure. What you put on your skin, your biggest membrane, your body, affects your cellular structure. And what you put internally, we all know, affects us at the cellular level. So, like I want to know what we're using to clean the floors, the glass, the mirror, the tables, the hardwood, versus the tile, the toilets, the showers, the tubs, like what are we doing, right? Our laundry, our shampoo, our conditioner, our toothpaste, our mouthwash, right? I just thought I was crazy.
Speaker 2:But when your body is in fight or fight mode, people, you need to understand that your body wants natural things. Anything more than that. Your body needs to detox it, it needs to deal with it. That's when the trigger hit huge that all these things around us there are toxins and chemicals that affect us on the cellular level. Once we started looking at that, it was a whole new world for us, because her health started to increase rapidly, like rapidly, because her body no longer had to detox all these extra chemicals. And we're now feeding her body natural products, like essential oils if they're therapeutic, great essential oils and distilled and grown properly With no fillers. Her body started to react in a positive way.
Speaker 1:That's incredible. There's there's so much to talk to it. I mean, this whole story is incredible. The, the process and the journey that you've taken I think so many people can relate to, because how many times do you Google something when you fail off. And what I love about the conversations we've had offline is you know, I'm I'm someone who had a very unconventional childhood and I grew up with my grandparents and we ate out of a vegetable garden year around. We ate out of the freezer. We were had canned goods. We I didn't even know what a fast food restaurant was until I was an adult and it's interesting because when I introduced that food to my body, my body violently reacted like literally violently reacted with vomiting, and it was very disturbing at the time and I was very Disgusting.
Speaker 1:And I was very Disgusting and I was very Disgusting and I was very Disgusting and I was very Disgusting at the time. But I mean, it just goes to show you how much we are really Wired to have organic, natural products in our body. Um, but you know to hear the environmental piece of it. I mean, there's just so many pieces of your story that are so powerful, but the environmental piece of it is huge as well. Um, again, you know, I Ropped around in the state forest.
Speaker 1:You know like literally my childhood was playing in the woods and just the grounding properties of Mother Earth and the healing properties of all of that.
Speaker 1:And I noticed, even for myself, when I'm in the woods and I'm grounding or, you know, getting my physical body restored, and I come back into a situation where I'm in the suburbia of a major metropolitan city, it is a physical response because your body has been reset and then it's like you get this wham of. You feel it, you feel the heaviness, you feel the heaviness in your chest, you feel it, you know just all around you and I think you know what people really. I think people know this on a very innate part of them, but they don't know how to tap into it a lot of times, because it's like, everywhere you look you have cell phone towers and you've got, you know, these products in the grocery and for some families it's cheaper to buy those cheaper items to feed their family than to pay a little bit more money. But then what are you really paying for, right? So I mean, can you talk to that a little bit? I think that's that's probably a good topic to talk about.
Speaker 2:Probably because it's funny, because you mentioned two really important things there. One is you're up in the mountains and your body was resetting. What does that mean? Right, think about that. You're out of the chemicals. What is the most polluted place in the world? Take a guess.
Speaker 1:It's our house, your cities, oh the house, the house, yeah.
Speaker 2:So you think that all the toxins and chemicals that are in our houses for all those cleaning solutions that's why we did that family exercise right, that's one. So the next part of what was going on in our life was EMFs. Right, emfs play a huge, huge part in our world and people are still blinded by the results and the outcome at the cellular level of our bodies. Like, well, what's EMFs? Right? So to give you an idea what EMFs are, right, it's. I have a laptop right here. I have a 29-inch monitor right in front of me. I have a web camera. I have a light right, I have a diffuser going which has light and has power to it. Right, I have a 29-inch iMac right beside me. I have a phone that's over there. I have a big window right beside me. These are all EMFs. This is radiation around us 24-7.
Speaker 2:So, take all this out of my office. Do I still have EMF poisoning going on? Absolutely. I have Wi-Fi in my house and in my building, right, so say I get rid of that and I walk outside down the street. Do I still have EMF distortion and poisoning going on in my body? Absolutely, right, we have cell towers everywhere, right? 2g, 3g, 4g, lte same thing. And now 5G right, these are being built to help technology us to be more efficient and faster and all this sort of wonderful stuff, and I love it. I do because with technology, we wouldn't be doing what we're doing today right, but it needs to be done in a smart, healthy way and we need to be able to protect ourselves from that, right.
Speaker 2:So what we're talking about is when you go out of the city and you're resetting, you're getting out of all that space, you're getting out of the toxins. You're out in the woods right, you're getting out of the EMF distortion. If you have a very weak signal on your phone, that's a good thing. That's a good thing, right, that's what we want. Right, put your phone in airplane mode or turn it off or whatever it may be, that's what you want. That is your body resetting, literally. Your protons in your body are now starting to point back in the same direction where, with the EMF distortion in our body, it's going like a mad zigzag in your body which causes ailments and it builds up ailments in our body. It disrupts our nervous system, it disrupts our digestion, it suffocates our immune system right, emfs take the oxygen out of our blood. Think about that. That's mind-blowing.
Speaker 1:Scary, and how many people literally are going to sleep with their cell phone on their nightstand next to their head.
Speaker 2:Yep, more often than not. So speaking of cell phones alone, because this is a big one that everyone does in your cell phone, if you go to the fine print, this is from the FDA. They say that the phone is okay to use from an FDA radiation standpoint. If it's 10, it depends on the phone, depends on the size, blah, blah, blah. 10 to 15 millimeters away from your head. So pretend my hand is my cell phone. I need to be talking like this, like literally 10 to 15 millimeters away for it to be approved by the FDA. What does that tell you? How many people do you know in the world talk with the phone 10 to 15 millimeters away from them? Let's say it's 20% of the world, which I know it's not that high. Say it's 50% of the world, which we know it's not that high. The rest, the amount of radiation that they're getting to their brain is insane.
Speaker 2:On, a study showed this is a Harvard or Queens, it was a Harvard study. I'll have to look that up. I'm pretty sure it was a Harvard study that a three-minute phone call if you have the phone to your left ear, three-minute phone call the radiation will reach the inside of your left eye. Oh, my goodness, right, that's on an adult. So now the FDA. Do you think they do testing on children?
Speaker 2:I was just going to ask you about children. Are their skulls the same thickness as an adult, like the physical skull? No, it's thinner. So on that exact same phone call on a 15 year old child, the same phone call, three minutes. Left ear goes to the opposite side of the right eye in a three minute phone call. Why do you think our ADD HCHD and all these different syndromes, cancer, all these things are going through the roof Right?
Speaker 1:That's frightening, very frightening.
Speaker 2:It's the amount of radiation and chemicals and toxic load on our bodies going through the roof. It's insane. We need to protect ourselves, right? So those little stickers that you put on your phone, they're not helping you. Think about this Logically you have a sticker that's an EMF protector stuck to your phone. You put that phone in your pocket. What is it going to do? He's going to bounce the EMF off that sticker right into you, right? That's step one. Step two let's take your phone, throw it away. You no longer have a cell phone. Are you still getting hit with EMFs? Absolutely. Are you going to put the sticker on the forehead, on the back of your head, on your shoulder, like it doesn't make sense, right?
Speaker 2:So what we've done, what we came across and this is part of the conversation you and I were talking about before is because of what was happening with Andrea, my wife, and we're trying to get through all these different ailments and symptoms reducing information, remove toxins in our life, right? And then we started using essential oils every single day, right, internally, internally, diffusers, like nonstop in every room that we have. Right, because we know that if you breathe them in within 20 seconds, if you breathe them in topically or put them internally. It's going to hit the brain Within two minutes. We know it's in our blood. We know in 20 minutes it's in every cell in our body. This is important information. So with that in mind, we're now. She's coming out of this rabbit hole, she sees the light, she's feeling better. The last thing that she was really fighting was fatigue. She's always tired. That's how we came across all this EMF stuff.
Speaker 2:So we came across an inventor that adds frequencies into different products and I'm like what? So, once again, same reaction that I had with the oils is with this frequency product, because I didn't understand it right. So what did I do? I have to test it. So the only way for me now to test things is at the cellular level. The way to do that is to get a live blood test analysis done right.
Speaker 2:So if you want to know what that is and if you're dealing with stuff people is, look up live blood test analysis near me and Google, find the closest one and go check it out, because what you're going to see is some pretty cool, amazing things about you, about your blood, on screen in front of you. It's not like getting a little prick in your finger. They fill up a tube and then you get a piece of paper saying this is what's in your blood. You have no idea if it's true or not. You have no clue, right? The cool thing with a live blood test analysis is you can literally bring your phone in, record your blood on the screen in front of you while the technician tells you what's going on. You go home, you read, watch that like 10 times because that's what you're going to do. That's what we did. We're going to start looking this stuff up, do your own research and if it starts to resonate and go holy crap, this makes sense. You now have a direction for you to go in, where before you're like I don't know, I don't know, I have no idea. You just deal with the illness. We don't want you there, we want you healthy, right?
Speaker 2:So once we did that so we did a live blood test analysis before we saw our blood all clumped up, moving very slowly. We saw parasites, we saw bacteria, we saw our immune system, we saw crystallization, we saw digestive proteins. We saw all this stuff in our blood that were actually somewhat hydrated. You can see the nice right ring around the actual cell which is like okay, not bad, not bad. No, and behold, we take these frequency products. We have the one for four hours. Oh, the other thing that we saw in our blood story was the clumping was also they're called bottle cap and it actually stacked like a little worm, right. I didn't know what that was, so when the technician was explaining to it. And then I did my own research EMF poisoning, right.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2:This is EMF distortion at the cellular level. So that's what triggered me. It's like okay, so let me do this test before put their products on and let me do another test afterwards. Because if what he is telling me that frequencies, our bodies are vibrational frequency beings which I did not know at the time I was like, okay, sounds interesting. He's explained that when frequencies, when lightning hits the earth, that creates a frequency, a vibration called the Schumann residence, which is 7.83 Hertz. I was like, okay, I'm looking up on my phone, yep, that's true, makes sense. And then we find that it's Nikolotesla's theory. Okay, sounds good. I'm thinking the car guy. I'm like no, it's not the car guy, it's the actual scientist from way back in the day, and that our body naturally vibrates at the earth's frequency without all this distortion. I'm like, okay, logically, I can see that. Okay, but I want to see it affect me at the cellular level. I said give me three products for free, I'll be back in five hours. He's like no, I'm like put your money where your mouth is. You say that it works, let me test it. I'll pay for all the testing. Right, pay for all the testing.
Speaker 2:What I saw at the end of this will blow your mind. The cells were separated. They're moving like a raging river. Parasites were 95% gone in four and a half hours. Parasites can't grow in an oxygenated state to what we find Right. What does your immune system love? Oxygen.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So oxygen immune system, boosting your immune system naturally, right, Not popping pills, this is great. So I put one on my wife. So we all bought one Me, my wife and my two kids. It's like, okay, I'm thinking to myself, wow, this is kind of neat. And, being an entrepreneur and running my own business, I said I need to talk to the owner because I want more information and we do natural products for the past 10 and a half years. This is something else that I could use to help educate and help people around the world in a lot of the conversations that we do. No behold, we started doing this.
Speaker 2:My wife, the first night, had the best sleep she had in years. Not only that, the big winner was that she had more energy. She was no longer taking naps during the day. Right, and remember what EMFs do in radiation they remove the oxygen from your blood, which makes you feel lethargic. Right, focus, that was a big part she was having problems with, right, not anymore. Right, she's starting to remember more things. She's no longer taking naps. She's now walking upstairs very quickly. We're now playing badminton. We're now playing basketball. We now go for bike rides. Our household hasn't been sick in just under four years. These are all the things that our body needs people. Our body naturally wants natural things, right?
Speaker 2:So when we was done talking with this person, the salesperson, I said I want to talk to the owner. He said the owner will give you a show back. Perfect, bubble, blah, blah. I'm like, yeah, I've heard this story before. So I found them, I chased them down and I ended up speaking with them and it took us about three weeks and I reached out to a good friend of mine, chrissy. He's now my partner and we actually bought into this company and rebranded this company because of what it's done to my family. And then I hired another live blood technician to come to my office and I had 16 friends and family members do the same test that we did. Every single person had similar results where blood was clumped, parasites, bacteria, crystals, blah, blah, blah. They all also had all their own different ailments that they were dealing with. It was now starting to separate. It was moving faster. Parasites started to disappear. Ailments started to go away. A good ailment, which was a good friend of mine, jim. He was diagnosed with extreme anxiety. He wasn't able to drive Within eight days and this is his video testimonial on the website is that it was reduced by 80 percent in eight days.
Speaker 2:This is EMF distortion, people, and EMF poisoning at its best. We need self-protection that we can wear around us 24 seven right? Not a sticker that goes on the devices, because those stickers are protecting that device. They're not protecting you. Right? If you go into an airport, you go into a hospital, if you go into a clinic, you go into a mall, all these have a large amounts of radiation. More has 5G, 4g, wi-fi cell phone towers. Right, you're getting double dosed everywhere you go. You need to protect yourself. This is what we're finding. It's been an amazing, educational, emotional journey. She's not 100 percent better, but she's living a livable life now that is meaningful and that we can get out into Mother Nature. We can bike ride. We can do these things where before we couldn't.
Speaker 1:That's amazing, the whole experience. It sounds like it's been a lot of work, but the result of it is just so incredible. I know you didn't mention this, so I just want to circle back With the prescribed medications, like the antidepressant and those kinds of things. I'm assuming, based on her starting to feel better, that that all also went away right.
Speaker 2:We're now four years with zero medication and zero chemicals in our homes. That's amazing medication Lyrica, percocets and depressants and there's one more pain, one that she was taking, I can't remember the name of it. All those are gone.
Speaker 2:And I'm not saying that this stuff is going to cure you people. What I want you to understand is that there are other tools out there that can help support your body system. Talk to your practitioners. Let them know what's going on. Let them know what you're doing Saying these are the things that I'm trying because I want to get back to a natural way of living without Feeding myself medication non-stop.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know a lot of practitioners are starting to open in their eyes to integrate a medicine and they're starting to see this Right. They're starting to get it like there's a huge hospital that was just finished being built in Kentucky. It's a hundred forty five million dollars. The whole first floor of this can't. It's a cancer hospital. Huge hospital. The whole first floor is all holistic medicine. It's all essential oils and natural wellness. When you walk in, that is your first line of defense. It's not going into a merge or anything like that. Why is this happening? Because there's power to natural wellness.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, and we can actually have that in our house, right. So if you guys need information on this, reach out to one of us and we can help guide you on what we can do to help support you naturally at home and start Self-directing you right, giving you the power, empowerment, self-empowerment To really start getting yourself body, getting your body back into position to heal itself. That's truly what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and for the parents listening out there, scott, I mean you know you talked to briefly on the kids and I know, as you said, like the Anatomy of an adult is very different than of a child. Yeah, so do parents have to have concern over you know their children in regards to the doses of you know oils or what it is that you know the environment is exposed with? I mean because I know they're a lot more sensitive than the adults are.
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. That's a great question. And yes, essential oils are safe for infants, to any age, literally. Is the big thing with essential oils, with kids and infants, is just the dilution rate when I say that, as you just have to add more carrier oil and less oil because you're so potent and so pure, you don't need as much to have the medicinal Benefits of those products. Right, diffusers are very safe, right, as long as you're not putting the entire bottle in there. There's a little bit of common sense that has to go with it, and that's part of the education that we help guide our customers with Is that we now help them and self-educate, and they can find a lot of information With these products. Right, we have a huge network of people. Right, we have over 60,000 people on our team. Right, there's a reason why things are working. There's a reason why there's 928 million people Using these essential oils around the world.
Speaker 2:Yeah because they work. They work effectively, they work quickly and they're not super expensive and it's way better for the environment. Remember all those toxins we're talking about. Where do you think they end up? Right, they end up back in our earth. Where do we grow our food, right? Yeah, they're not using pesticides or any of this stuff. But people, they are in our, they're in our soils, they're in our water, right? So one is it's bad for the environment. Two is it's way better for you and healthier for you, and it's way cheaper. What we use to clean our house now for all the moms and dads that that clean, which most of us do, is Literally vinegar and water and essential oils. And then the question is are they antibacterial? Absolutely Right, there's tests that show this stuff and it's safe for kids. Look at all the infants crawling around all the ground where they put their hands right to their mouth. So all those cleaning solutions, all the chemicals you're using, they're taking internally. Same thing with our animals, right? Think about this. It's, it's so crucial.
Speaker 1:I'm glad you're laying this out, because I think Most people have been so busy doing their day-to-day that they don't recognize the smaller details of what it is that they're doing, and it's not something that People are doing deliberately.
Speaker 1:It's something that you know it's just, it's just part of, like, that forward movement of life and you know you're just caught up in your stuff. So you know, be gentle on yourself. If you're out there listening to this and thinking, oh my goodness, what have I been doing to my family, like sometimes it's just a matter of, you know, just having someone share with you what that means and what it looks like, and opening up the doors and the details. Which why, scott, this was so important to have this conversation with you, because I just know so many people Don't have the awareness of what this really means and I'm just so appreciative that we had this opportunity To really dive into some of these details and I'm just so glad that you know your wife is doing well and your family, you know, is benefiting from all of this and everyone can benefit from it. That is really what it comes down to.
Speaker 1:I know for myself, I use essential oils. You know, for different things, you know, especially For for myself, I intuitively, just growing up with my grandparents, have always been raised with you know that less is more, that concept of less is more. So, like my grandmother, like you, were using the vinegar and water that was her go to. I mean we had bottles of that in the kitchen, we had bottle in the bathroom, we had, you know, one up in by the tub. I mean there was always those natural ingredients. Baking soda was a big one, you know some of these with a scrubbing agent right.
Speaker 2:So if you need something to, rub the tiles with just add some baking soda into your vinegar and water and you just add some essential oils. Like I hate the smell of vinegar, it's like oh right. Yeah, bomb it, open the windows. Yeah, the good thing with essential oils is you can change the different aroma for what you want. Yeah, right, and reap those benefits. So it's so funny and it's great.
Speaker 1:It's awesome, it's great for mood management, like yeah, and that's what I was just going to say, like with, you know, growing up in an environment where we had a very organic diet, you know it was like if you needed energy, you would grab an orange or a tangerine or some sort of citrus to build up your energy level, you know, and that helps create the focus as well. And sometimes, you know, in my working day it's like, okay, I feel that two o'clock slump, I'm going to, you know, put like some, and, you know, like an orange or some citrus in my diffuser just to help kind of bring that up for me. But it is amazing how the human body is and how we can heal ourselves and how we can do things differently. And I know, with the way of the world right now, everyone has this heaviness that they're feeling because the world is heavy right now. It's just heavy with a lot, of, a lot of political, environmental stuff.
Speaker 1:And then you've got, you know, the spaces that we're living in around the globe with the environment, the foods that we're putting into our bodies, that we really don't even know what some of these ingredients are, which is upsetting. And you know part of it is like what can you trust? What do you trust? You know, who do you trust? There's a lot of questions around that, so I think you know this conversation today. It really does help allow people to give permission to take a step back and maybe reevaluate how they're living and maybe make it more simple. You know, because even in your home, as you mentioned, scott, you look around your home and the products in your home. Many of them may not be natural products, especially if you've if you purchased a new sofa recently, like the chemicals that the sofa is loaded with and the off gassing and all of what's going into the air with that, you know, or even a new mattress I mean there's so many things like you can smell the toxins as soon as it comes in or documentary on that.
Speaker 2:Yeah there's a documentary on Netflix. It's called stink. Watch that documentary. Exactly what you're talking about is in clothes that we put on our kids that are made from overseas. Right, they're made here, doesn't matter, it keeps them fresh. What the heck is that great it's, it is a real thing, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and even you know you talk about the clothes, like I remember, as as a little girl, like we had play clothes and then we had, you know, like a set of clothes that we'd go out in, but we didn't have this crazy closet full of clothes, right, we had.
Speaker 1:It was very like streamlined, as far as the wardrobe was concerned, and I look at the wardrobe today and you know, for women it's like there's this constant rotation of style and you know it's like you have to keep up with whether the short or the pants are long or short, or you know they go above the knee for the skirts, or below the knee, like all of these things.
Speaker 1:And it's just, it's this one season quote unquote one season where it's really hurting everyone, you know, as far as the environment and your family and all of these things. So just being more conscientious, because a lot of these one season pieces of clothing, I mean, you know they they're not made well and they rip or tear and then you're putting them where back into, you know, the planet, and that's not serving anything. It's really interesting the acceptance that people have had around that and maybe this you know, whole pandemic will allow people to pull back a little bit and really, you know, reevaluate what that looks like. So that that's. That would be a blessing to come from the pandemic, I think.
Speaker 1:Any final thoughts around.
Speaker 2:I just want to try to give people light that there is ways to help with physical, mental and emotional traumas that people are dealing with. It doesn't have to be out of the gate going down the medication route right away. Some people just may need it, which is okay. But let's try to avoid that if possible and let's be proactive, right. Let's let's get at some of these things. Get get your gut health under control, right. Your gut health is your gut, is your second brain, right. So we need to treat that and help support that as much as humanly possible.
Speaker 2:So, with those three things, we know that inflammation in our body we can reduce and that's in our self control. We can use essential oils Aromatically, topically and internally safely to help build and support our body systems from the emotional, mental and physical traumas. We know this, that we know scientifically that it works. We know that EMFs are real. We know that we can. We can actually buy products that are natural, that are going to help our body in our nervous system. Get back to the Schumann residents and grounding and everything that we talk about a lot. That's. That's the base of it. Like, if you do those three things in life, you're. That's a recipe for success. Like I truly honestly feel that in our, our family is living that story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I love the testimony of your family because it's just so beautiful and I'm just so, like I said, so grateful that you're sharing this with the world today. It's so powerful. I do have a final question for you. I ask all of my guests so if I were to pick up your earth angel feather off of the ground and you had a message for the world, what would your message be?
Speaker 2:about self-directed healthcare is something that we need to work on as a society. We need it more than ever, and everything that we spoke about today needs to be pushed around the world, because we can control our destiny more than anybody else. It's one word, one voice. It's we need to take care of our health. Without our health, what are we? Right? You can have billions of dollars. You're dead tomorrow. Where's your billions of dollars? Right? It's our health, it's our happiness. It's that. There to me, is that feather needs to be pushed out as far as possible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I I agree especially with the unconventional childhood I had in just knowing what it did for me and I. I know our bodies are just really wired to heal themselves on so many levels, and I know I've I've flagged a few of my podcasts for this, but I'm going to do it in this one as well, because I just think it's really important, given the times that we're living in. If anyone listening is suicidal and you need mental health support, please, please, please, go to your community. You know emergency room practitioners, whoever are there that can serve you to help you, because this podcast is not meant to fix anything like that for you.
Speaker 1:This is really about the you know, about your human self, but the mental health of it. If you're, if you are, suicidal, please get yourself that support. Yeah, and you and you have that and you know around the world, in all areas of the globe. So please, you know, do that for yourself. It's so important. But, scott, I again thank you so much for you know being here today sharing this powerful, amazing message, and you know I'm just so grateful. So thank you again.
Speaker 2:So, much, thank you. Thanks for having me on the show.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, and my name again is Catherine Daniels. This is Retreat to Peace, and I'm just reminding you to always live your authentic life with peace. And, as always, retreat to Peace, and we'll see you next time.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
