Kubrick zirconia and the MSRP on that one was 168. That is not what you pay for that, by the way. It's fun. It's surprised. You don't know what you're going to open. Yay. Yeah, so cool.

So if you don't like chunky, these are a new collection that just came out called Delicates. You get like four. Let me try and help you. There you go. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah, right there. Perfect.

You get like four. You get like four stacks minimum. You could have up to five rings. And they're called delegates because they're tiny. You can keep them all on one finger. Nobody's in the way. Yeah, you can't see your face. Let her do the brain and I'll hide again because it doesn't know what to focus in on

because it was focusing, stand right where you are because you hit her and then I hid. So that's how. So these are like in these fuzzy bombs, all the rings are. And I put them in there and they like fizz and then we reveal what you get. Yeah, it's so cool. But you also get necklaces, there's bracelets, which are called stacks. There's earrings. Yeah, it's fun.

Very cute. So much fun. You literally can't do it if somebody's in the background. No, that's why I was like. But you could still see you because I couldn't block you. Sorry. But at least they could see the ring way better. All right.

This thing's going to go. Okay. Girls got it. Yeah. Fast work, Tracy. All right. You just need to put in Dropbox. Okay. All right. Here we go. Ready?

Join us November 14th at 7 p.m. for a night designed just for you. A night filled with healing, hope, and a powerful encounter with God. Experience heartfelt worship, uplifting Bible teaching, and a community of women who believe in what God can do. Doors open at 6.30 p.m. Come early and grab a seat. Bring a friend, come expectant, and get ready to dare to be all that God created you to be. Okay. Let's do it.

November 14th, it's Friday night. Put it on your calendar. It's already on mine. Me too. Yay. Tracy, you have no option. Me too. Holy moly.

All right. Are we going to get ready to go with the questions? Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. So the first one said, says, I heard that humming for just 10 seconds can increase nitric oxide by 1,400 percent, which supposedly kills pathogens, oxygenates the blood and trigger cell repair. Have you heard anything about this? And nitric oxide, what is that? Nitric oxide is like, so like it's in beats, like a lot of people eat beats because it increases the amount in your blood, which helps. It's like an antioxidant.

So it helps. So as with anything with sound, sound waves, our bodies, you know how our bodies can like feel different with different types of sounds that are in the room. Yeah. Same for your whole body in general. Have I heard that it does this? No. Not until I got the question.

do I think it works I mean there really wasn't anything that I could find specifically to say yay or nay but just in general with sound waves and how it affects things affects our bodies affects our mood affects the way we think whether it's good or bad I think this would probably actually work because it would bring it down I mean you're humming at a certain frequency for a certain amount of time you would change the makeup of what's going on inside your body that's interesting yeah i've seen women like moan and hum during child's birth because it helps to like reset now go if you're going to say something saying in the microphone so people can hear you what what were you going to say oh she was

saying it calms you down but they they even say to like I've known people who put like headsets on their stomach on their stomach so the baby can hear music oh yeah that's why your baby knows your voice when you come out yeah which makes complete sense but like what what were the reasons behind when they said to put play music for the baby because it changes the atmosphere that you're in the frequency for the baby yep it calms the baby yep i mean i'm sure if you put like heavy metal on your stomach it's going to have to be a head button in there correct so yeah that's why they say you do classical it increases the endorphins in the in the brain and helps what the synapsis is that's why they say you should

do classical music all the time because it actually makes you smarter that's what i've heard like beethoven and mozart they suggest heavily on those especially for your children correct my kids did not. There's, it explains a lot. My kids did not listen to any of them. Well, I wasn't allowed to listen to heavy metal guitar music growing up. I wasn't allowed to listen to any of that. It was a Christian or country.

And then I, I mean, I could listen to other things than country. My dad every now and then would listen to certain artists, but we weren't allowed to, they prefer we only listened to it. But then when I turned 18, 16, 17, 18, pretty much. much anything goes. Anything went really before then I just snuck it. Yeah, that's what my, my siblings did. I didn't very much. Like, you know how you do your, guess the, Gen X, guess the, guess the, yeah, guess, name that tune. Name that tune. Kyle and you are like right there, like, every time you guys, you do it, my husband's like sitting right there to do it. Yeah.

Me, I'm like, no clue. No clue. I'd be kicked out of Gen X so fast. Well, I have been by several people, but I don't listen to them, just like I pretty much listen to nobody else. If they see me, they would really, I'd be kicked out a long time ago. Even the people that are trying to kick me out and say, I don't know anything, if they were put on the spot and they had to do it, they would fail. They don't realize the stress. Well, there is no stress, really. But we know this.

But the thing is, is they don't know every genre of music either. True. True. Who's going to know every... And if you do, then you need a hobby. Like, you need to do something with yourself. That you know every singer or artist out there and every song out there. You're in big trouble.

I agree with you, Vanessa. I'm like, I had other things to do. Come on. But, you know, I think it's... If you parallel to scriptures and like with Lucifer and being... Not named that tune or TikTok. name that tune, but like even like the humming and music is a powerful thing.

And most, if you look at a lot of artists, what are the things that they battle most is ego. Even worship teams, some of the, our worship team is very, very, is probably one of the most different. First of all, because I think a leadership. But second of all, and that's a, that's a kudos to Aaron, not to Tom, because Aaron pretty much. like he only wants things to be perfect but if he doesn't have he doesn't have to sing the song for it to be he doesn't i've never seen him be like he'll always do what he thinks is best if he thinks he's the best then he's going to do it but if he thinks somebody else is then he will he will get gladly handed over but what most worship teams most bands why do they break up because of ego

And so I think that music is so powerful. So for me, when I read this question, I'm like, it makes complete sense to me because music is so powerful. And that's the reason why Lucifer wanted people to worship him because he was the best at music and his ego got in the way. Well, that was like King David before he became king, he would go to Saul and make the demons go away by his music. Yeah, he played the liar for him and the harp. There was a study shown where, like, they put a marble in sand, and then they did different vibrations on it, and it actually produced different images.

Images in the sand? In the sand. That marble would move a certain way, and it literally would produce different images. So, you know, like, what is that shell called, that's circular, cochular, cochular, just like your eardrum. A conch? Well, not a conk.

The conk lives in that shell. Yeah, so if you cut it in half, it's like spiraled. And they say that that is like the basis of all sound. Now that I said it, it'll come up on your phone. The spiral effect of that shell is the basis, like a spiral effect is the basis of all sound, a spiral, not the shell itself, but what that looks like, how that is configured.

It's configured in different aspects all throughout nature. And it all has to do with sound. Yeah. That's interesting. So the spiral effect or how that spiral effect is in with that. That's interesting. Yep, yep.

Well, for me, when it comes to music, I'm always like, you've got to be very careful, Christian-wise, like, you do need to be careful about what you listen to. You do need to be careful about, because, I mean, for me, like, you listen to the wrong songs and you're prone to promiscuity, like maybe you shouldn't be listening to certain songs because they draw you in. They put your, you know, they, when you hear songs or you sing them, words have power. And so what that does is create a thought, which is a seed. And that seed will grow and that thought will grow. And eventually you'll act, you'll be, you'll activate or become active in that thought.

It's dangerous. So I can see how that would work. Yeah. And that's like if you ever, I grew up with my dad being, they said he was schizophrenic. He really had post-traumatic stress disorder from Vietnam. However, he was in and out of the psychiatric ward. So I used to go there. And if you ever been there, the kind of music that they play is soft, it's non-steaming

lighting it's it's it's soothing okay um and it's i mean if you were to do the opposite it might make people put their nerves on in and make them agitated correct yeah because there's sometimes i hear certain music like that screamo music and i literally like makes me tense but then there's like Aaron loves screamo and he like makes him happy. It just depends on the personality. Oh. He loves it. Not me. I like Screamo. I don't like it. It's, it really puts me in a very dark place. I don't care if it's Christian Screamo. Yeah. I don't like it. I don't like it either. So with this question, the number two question, did you, did you want to do the video first for it to explain it or how did you want to do this one, Tracy? This was. This was,

the graphic? Is that the one that you have for number two? What do you have for number two? Super stressed? Somebody is super stressed. It's where that's the cone and the ball. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I have the photo. This one. Is it a photo? Oh, I thought it was a, I thought it was a video. If you stare at the ball. Okay, put that on there. Oh, it does. I have the thing. Holy moly. So this image was created by, I know, Vanessa has an issue with this. I do too. What do you have an issue with? It's moving.

Okay. No, Vanessa, Vanessa can't handle it. Look in her face. She can't look at holes. Oh, you can't look at holes? She's got a hole problem. Why is that? I don't know.

Trippophobia. I don't like it. You don't like looking at holes? She has a phobia. She can't handle that. I mean, if you put it that way, it sounds weird. Well, it is weird. I mean, it is.

It's weird that you can't look at holes. She can't. She won't be able to be involved in this question. Kylie has the same thing. Oh, my gosh. If you saw her right now, people, she's literally turned away from the screen. It says this image. Sorry.

Thank you. This image. Thank you for showing that. I appreciate you fulfilling my wants and my needs by posting so people could see how crazy she is right now. She's scratching her hand. She's a nervous twitch. She's literally twitching right now. She's playing with her ring.

Oh, my gosh. It says this image was created by a neurologist from Japan and it stays still when you are calm, moves slightly under mild stress, and spins like a carousel under strong stress. Mine is slowly moving. Is your sitting still? No, when you stare directly at it, does it move for you? It does move, and it's very slow moving, but it does move. So mine, for me, it depends where I look. Like, if I look exactly in the middle of the circle, those three dots, or it's kind of like a triangle, it doesn't move at all. But if I look, it looks, it depends. It looks. It looks at all. But if I look, it depends. It depends. up, I can see it moving very, very slowly.

So did you ever see those pictures where you, you, it looks like they say, find the animal or what do you think is in there? And you have to like get your eye in a certain depth and then you can picture it. That's all this is. Can you see this moving? I mean, it'll stop for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it absolutely is moving.

Yeah. And it's very slow. Very slow. But like it's not, I, I can, how can that thing move fast like they're saying like a Oh, I don't know. I'd probably be sick. Holy moly. If that's why Vanessa's turned, I would.

No, that's not why she's turned. Like the ball's not moving. The ball's not moving for me at all. It's the tube. The tube. That's moving. Is that how it is for everybody else? The ball's not moving.

It's just the tube. Yeah, that's what it's doing for me as well. Okay. That makes me feel better. The ball is moving for you, too? Because the ball does move? Tell you, does the ball move for you? maybe it's just the tube to me it's the tube yeah it's the tube for me so it's the ball's not moving

for you either okay that's good to know yeah so maybe that's wild Vanessa look at the holes Vanessa look at the holes she can't do it oh my gosh I need a replacement somebody who can you can look at holes we should got the little girls in oh my gosh that's crazy so Natalie have you seen this photo that I guess tells you if you are super stressed is it real oh it's real I mean it was made that way but do I think I think it just has to do with like your your vision do you think it is based on stress level no okay that makes me feel better I think it's more of just like a because I don't like having any kind of stress in my life, even if it's a small amount.

I think Vanessa is the true test for this, because if it wouldn't, she should be super stressed looking at this, so it should go really fast. So yeah, let's do it. Look at it. Chicken wing head, scaredy, scaredy cat. I don't want to hurl. That would be the true test. And then that would not be good for you.

That is true. Please don't throw up. Yeah, no, please don't. My mom says very slowly the tube is moving. So I think everybody's kind of seeing the same thing. Okay, so the her ball's not moving. Her ball is not moving. I'm waiting from my mother to text me.

I'm just kidding. Don't text, Mom. She might. Don't call. Don't text. That's interesting. Okay. Good to know.

So it's got nothing. You don't think it has anything to do with stress. It's just like that picture. It's like the optical illusions that they have out there where if they draw it and it looks like it's shorter here, but it's not. it's the same or you can look at something and you look at it from the bottom it and it looks like it's a stocking if you look at it another way it looks like yeah yeah exactly exactly like a woman who's eating yes like you just don't know yeah yeah okay that's good to know

optical illusion beauty that makes me feel better okay do we want to do this one comes with a video too thank you to the people who send videos okay to explain yourself you must be is this a TikToker? This is a TikTok video and it's music but you have to kind of read it so Natalie it might be easier. So read this question first. Yeah read the question and then we'll do the video. I'll pause it as we go. So Natalie might be able to answer them in sections. Okay. I've never seen any of this. This is why like all of this stuff. It's new to me just like it is new to her. I just copy and paste the questions. This is Natalie I saw a video about how to advocate for yourself in a hospital or office well i just did this yes you did just this week yep do you agree with that advice so i've had to do

this plenty okay good so see if this helps you see if this is stuff you've already done yeah well if it includes yelling then yes that's true i don't think so but let's we have a question or kicking a doctor out of at the room oh then yes it does okay well maybe okay so we'll play it okay if you don't advocate yourself in the doctor's office at the hospital system will walk all over you. Oh, and I'm going to give you some insider tips that you probably haven't heard before. Tip number one. Always, always ask your doctor to put their answers and refusals in your chart. Yep.

Okay. Because if it's not charted, it was never done. It was never said. Interesting. So if you go in front of a court, if it's not in writing, it was never done. Even if you said, I know I did it, and there's proof that you did it, if it's not written, it wasn't done. How often will they refuse to service you or provide service to you if you start asking these questions, though? Asking them to put that in there?

I mean, if you have the right provider, they're not going to have an issue with you. It all depends on that ego thing. If you have a doctor who has an ego or they, you know, what I call it as a God complex because a lot of physicians out there do, then you may have some pushback. Interesting. That's very interesting. Okay. Wait a minute.

What does I say? If they say no test isn't necessary, that no that test isn't necessary, you can respond with, okay, can you note in my chart that I requested it? and it was denied. Okay. So, and then it says that one line now creates accountability. So they don't want that, correct? I don't think it's that they don't want it.

Again, they go by protocols. And if a protocol is saying that that test isn't necessary, even though you're asking for that test, and they just declined to do that test, get it in writing. Because if that's the test that's going to be able to decide, for or find what you're particularly needing to be found or so you can have treatment done the correct way, then it will hold them accountable for not doing it for you if something down the

road comes. Interesting. Mm-hmm. Interesting. Okay, and it says tip number two, slow down the conveyor belt. Doctors are rushed and the system's built to rush you through. Amen. You can say I'm not ready to move on yet.

Interesting. And I have more questions that force them to pause instead of rushing you. Correct. That's why a lot of people like your nurse practitioners or PAs, they spend more time. Yes. Doctors tend to sit closer to the door. They got their questions, boom, boom, boom, and then they want to leave. And that's because a lot of health care today is based on how many patients you can see. It's not based on quality. It's based on quantity. It's based on quantity. So they have to meet a certain quota to make the money. Otherwise... That their contract with the hospital. Well, hospital or group in general. Yeah.

Because they do it by what's called RVUs. And RVUs are how much revenue you get back from like Medicare. So each visit level, a 99212, a 911. So if you're established and you do, my CPT code is 99211. which is like the basic, you barely had anything. It's like a level five. There's really nothing that we have to do. We have to give your script and send you on your way.

All the way up to a 99215, which is like you're in-depth, more than 45 minutes, and that's where you can bill more. So depending on where you fall in that lineup for the doctor to circle, I don't know if you've ever seen the billing forms before, before they did electric charting used to, remember on their chart, there were to be that paper and they would circle something real quick. Yeah, I do know that. That would be the level that they would charge your insurance company for how long that they were in your room for.

That's interesting. Correct. And so now it's called RVUs. So a lot of things are contracted through RVUs, not just how much do you make an hour. So you have to see a certain amount to make your salary. Because if you don't, you don't meet your salary, and those places will make you pay back money. You end up owing them money. if you see above what is contracted,

then you end up getting what you call bonuses. Yeah, well, my OB was phenomenal. And he left, when I first started with them, I was only with his group for like two months, maybe when I first got pregnant. And he said, the next time you see me will be at my own private office if you choose to stay with me

or if you want to stay with your group with the insurance that you have you can do that but I'm going and I'm starting my own private practice and I he was so good like you you could like it was hard to get in with him I was like no I'll pay out of pocket or I'll figure it out with my insurance company

I'm going to stay with you so he went private and then when we finally got out away from his the office that he was originally and I asked him like why did you go private because you're taking like a huge loss like you're going you lost patients most of them went with him but I'm like you lost patients like what made you do that and he's like well now I can talk about he's like but under the contract that he had with the hospital which is probably not just the hospital it was with the industry that he was under who he's

contracted with with them as well he said they they were forcing him to treat patients like cattle a number like you were just you had to make sure within a certain time frame you only had like I can't remember it was like less than five minutes with each patient depending on what the appointment was for like if it was an exam then it was a little longer but if it was uh let's like talk about like where you're at because not every time when you're pregnant do you go in there and have to get examined really correct so like those those times meant less time with him he's like, but I'm not doing that because my patients pay for me to answer any and all questions. And so I remember I would have to wait for him sometimes because he would be in there and

somebody had a complication or something. And he had to be, which ended up having to me and I was glad that I had sown this into, but he said, you might have to wait for me. Because guess what? If that patient needs my time and they need to ask me questions, before they walk out of here, then I'm giving it to him. But when it's your turn, and he said that, but when it's your turn, you're going to hope that I do the same for you.

And I'm like, you're absolutely right. And when I needed it, I had it. That's a good provider. Excellent provider. And the back end of that, the con of that is you got, again, like I said, over and over, we live in an instant society. So so many people nowadays, my time, my time, my time, my time, they get mad sitting in the room, but I know that there's a lot of providers that will sit there

and put in their rooms. If you're waiting longer for me to come in and see you, just know that I will extend the same amount of time for you as I did to the prior patient. And again, we live in an instant society and it's about quantity and so much it's not about quality. I'd rather have quality all day and long. I'll wait. Yeah. Because when I did, like I went, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, lost a child in between Tommy and Norma. And that man was absolutely there for me. And everybody else had to wait. So for me, I was very grateful.

Right. Very grateful. Because in those circumstances, first of all, you're crying. So you can't come up with all the questions. And you don't, you know, like, you don't even know what's going on. So, like, you need somebody to walk you through the process. And I was very grateful. But again, he left his practice and he was making lots of money.

to him it wasn't about the money it was more about the patient well and that's usually what doctors back in the day would get into it they got into it because of the patient and yeah a lot of people nowadays are like oh it's about the money how much money can i make yeah you know i'll take a doctor i mean we had to wait my mom was at the doctor uh this week we had to wait a while i was kind of irritated but then i was kind of like well you know what this is life it's life so but you would you you you should okay with like you said not instant correct quality quality that's a great way of thinking it quality not quantity correct it's a great way and when she finally did get in there they she got the quality so but um okay so keep going what yep tip number three okay don't go alone always try to bring

a second set of ears a spouse a friend even your phone recording with permission. In high stress settings, like the emergency room, you'll miss details. And they count on that. Is that true? Because you work in the ER? Is that a depending? It depends. I mean, it depends. I mean, in high stress situations, the ER usually, so ER, they either treat or street. It's one of the two, right? Yeah. So we either treat you and admit you because we found something that needs further evaluation and further treatment or we need something to like save your life right like yeah i had a oh i had a patient yesterday was 30 years old and i had to double check uh what i was reading called ems because he was hungry

tired and thirsty no physical complaints at all those were the three so that's what you kind to get you get from one end of that so you get to the patient that is like crashing they're a code you're trying to bring them back to life and then you get these people that use EMS to drive them in because they're hungry and they're tired and I was hungry and tired too so same the patient's level for that just must be like oh my gosh I can't even believe I'm dealing with this that's what you do I mean I had to sit there and read the board like four times I'm like, does that just say hungry? Like, are you hungry because, like, you're sick and you can't eat?

Right. Or are you hungry because you're just hungry? Hungry. That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. So literally, I had to put an order in because that's the way you stop a clock. You have to stop the clock to show, like, how long the patient's there before they see a provider.

So I had to stop the clock and I'm sitting there going, well, what do I do? So I just put in hydrate. So did you give them my Vs? Nope. Gave him a couple of bottles of water, gave him a turkey sandwich. And then send him on his way. He asked us if for social services, which we do do that. We get people that come in all the time. So we get lifts for them and give them rights home.

And so we were like, so where do you need to go? He wanted us to drive to him to Tennessee. And we were like, yeah, that ain't happening. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Now here's the thing. EMS couldn't even refuse to bring that patient. That's the sad part.

That's where people think we're not giving men. medical care to people, you've lost your mind. Everybody gets medical care. No one gets turned away. Nobody. You're being lied to. Correct. And it's probably all just because they don't want to get sued, right? Is that what it is? I think it's mandatory. It's mandatory. But is it mandatory because that? Well, because if you say you accidentally miss something and even though you know that there's nothing wrong, yeah, you can get sued. It's easy. It's very easy. It's so crazy. It's very easy. So do I think you should have somebody with you if you're in a stressful situation if you're coming to the ER where you're having a stroke or whatever you need to have somebody there to speak for you

to know what you want what kind of treatment you want if something was to happen to you if you want you know to be a DNR but you can say you want to be a DNR and you could be like they could be doing chest compressions your family could come in and change that so it's it's a it's a game it's it's hard it's hard to circumvent people's emotions because there's a lot of emotions involved when you're caring for somebody yeah so true so true what's the next one that is so true though tip number four reframe hold on reframe the language oh reframe the language oh thank you when they say this is a standard protocol ask is this required or is it that's interesting

optional that is interesting those words means you have a choice yeah optional optional means you have a choice and then stand protocol doesn't always

mean it's what's best for you see protocols stink as far as I'm concerned and tip number five so to protocols protocols stink they my neighbor's a vet he said veterinary students have protocols now they don't even think for themselves no they walk in to the room they ask what's wrong with the animal and then they type it in

and then the the computer like chat gpt tells them what to do next not that it's chat gpt because it's not but i'm just saying pretty much you put down what you need and then it'll say this step this step this step this step now are there things that can be optional the problem is is when you're being evaluated to see if you need to stay for further treatment go to surgery or you just need to follow up. Some things can fall through their crack at that particular moment. Does that mean like the next day that the test that you had that day, that those tests the next day will be would be different? It depends. I mean, you can come in one day. Everything tests negative and you're fine. Come in two days later and you can be full-blown septic, right? Your body's like, I mean,

so you can say it's optional. Yeah, it's going to cost more money, especially in an ER. So if I'm speaking from an ER standpoint, usually everything's thrown at you because you're trying to figure out what the problem is. What the problem is. If you're in a doctor's office, then there might be because it's not considered emergent. There might be some things that there are some things that can be done to say it's optional or not. So it's a process of elimination. It's a slow, I should say a slow process of elimination, which is usually cheaper in a doctor's office versus ER. It's usually cheaper than the ER, but then you get people that come to the ER thinking, I went to the then it's going to be taking care of right now. So like you can say that there's a person who's

had gallbladder issues for the last couple years, right? They were told to follow up with a surgeon or a specialist, but they never went. So then they come back again and they're wanting it taken out like right then and there and everything is coming back except for just showing like a gallstone or sludge. There's no obstruction. There's no infection. The liver function test is normal and they're upset because you tell them there's nothing for me to keep you here you need to call tomorrow set up an appointment to get surgery um so it's again it's a game it really is a game and what it is i think a lot of it is accountability not just on the provider but on the person themselves got to be accountable for your own health well a lot of times too is if it's an emergency

surgery or it's an emergency you pay less of a deductible than you do and it's a game for the people who are having to go in so the patient plays the game of this will be cheaper for me yep and the hospital's having to say not today because they know yeah and here's the thing of most providers in the ER will call like whoever's on call for the hospital that day so there's surgeons that are walking around the hospital that are there for emergencies. And nine times out of 10, the providers in the ER will call and ask them, what do you want us to do with this patient? Do you want this patient admitted? Do you think this patient needs to go? And they're going to give you their two cents. They're going to say, yay or nay. And then you're going to say,

okay, so then I'm going to let the patient know exactly what happens. It's not all, it all doesn't fall on the providers in the ER. They do collaborate with everybody else. Didn't know that. That is very interesting. Yeah. I had no idea you guys went outside of the ER to get it. That's interesting. I mean, it kind of makes sense, but who would have thunk? You think that the doctor in the ER is the one making the decision? No, it's him collaborating with the surgeon. Collaborating with the surgeon, the cardiologist, the pulmonologist. Our job is to stabilize you and get you transferred upstairs, bring you back to life, or say this really isn't an emergency, everything's fine. This is something you can follow up on outpatient. That's what an emergency department's for. That's crazy. That's wild.

But a lot of people use us because they're hungry. That's crazy. We see it all the time. That's nuts. Seriously. For real. All right. Keep her rolling, sister.

Let's see what it says next. And tip number five, ask about alternative. Don't stop at what we are doing. Always ask, what are the alternatives? And what happens if I wait or do nothing? doctors are trained to present the next step like it's some simple thing with no risk involved but you deserve full informed consent and all of your options these aren't the typical surface level tips these are the ones that protect you from

being rushed silenced or taken probably advantage of yeah if you don't advocate advocate for yourself. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Yep. That's interesting. That's a good question. So everybody, in my opinion, this is just my opinion, I would never go to the hospital without somebody by my side that has got a strong personality that will advocate for me, that will stand up for me when I might not be able to stand up for myself. You need one. And understands my belief systems behind when I go into the hospital because I try I don't want to ever use medical I always want to use faith but obviously there are times where my faith just isn't there enough and it should be but um for me it's like a do or die like I will go this far but I'm not going that far

and I need somebody to stand up for me like that yeah and what are your thoughts about being an organ donor. Oh, that is a question that she had on there. Is it? It is. I used to always advocate about being an organ donor. But over the last couple years, I've seen different stories and different things where I have told my kids and my husband and myself have decided not to be an organ donor. Yeah, Tom just took it off of his license. And when I can, I'm taking it off of yeah I will not because it's like selling body parts now mm-hmm well even if you're not an organ donor on your license if someone passes in in the ER we have to call organ it's like organ donation but it's more like your corneas and then we let them know that

the person passed and then they have they we tell them what's what the patient passed from and then they will call the family and just and ask them if they wanted to like like donate but these are people that are already passed away yeah no way not people that are like considered brain dead which that is that's a whole other that's a whole other thing because people have woken up that were supposedly brain dead well if you look at the science behind being brain dead there's really no such thing no wow no there's not and I have done not a huge deep dive, but I've done a dive. And it's frightening what these, and I've seen families begging, begging not to, pull the plug. Yeah, not for the hospital not to do it and not to do the

organs, remove the organs, but because the person had it on its license and said they were. They said they had no rights that that person had declared their rights on their license and so the family had nothing to say had no rights to it and they were going to go and start taking the organs from the person and the family is literally crying and screaming not screaming physically but like crying and yelling like please don't do this and the hospital's just rolling them down the hallway and they had no say in it yeah I No, boy, no for me. That's not going to fly for me.

Especially if I'm a faith-based person, because they only give you a certain amount of time, and then they start saying, you need to make the decision. I don't like that. God operates in the 11th hour, sometimes after midnight. Just ask Lazarus, fourth day.

If you're into that, follow me and click the link in my bio. Chronic anger floods your system with cortisol and that shrinks your hippocampus,

which messes with your memory and tanks your impulse control. Most people think that anger is a natural release. It isn't. It's not release. It's rehearsal. Every time you replay the story, you reinforce the same brain loop. And neurons that fire together, wire together. That's Hebb's law.

You're literally practicing rage. The real reason you stay pissed off gives you a hit of certainty in a world that feels unpredictable. But that hit costs you focus, sleep, and long-term brain health. What you need is a U-turn. Here's the method. Step one, name the loop. Anger activates your amygdala, which is your brain's alarm system.

Labeling the emotion, literally saying, a part of me is angry right now. That moves processing to your prefrontal cortex, which is the part of your brain that thinks before it reacts. Naming the feeling is your first act of power. Step two, breathe like you mean it. Long, slow exhales signal your vagus nerve to downshift your nervous system. Four seconds in, six seconds out. Repeat that three times. You're not suppressing anger.

You're rebalancing brain chemistry. Three, move the energy. Anger is adrenaline that needs somewhere to go. Walk, do push-ups, shake it out. Physical movement burns cortisol and rewires your stress response faster than just thinking about it. Here's the takeaway. You stop being pissed off by using biology, not willpower. Name it, breathe it, move it, done. Write power in the comments to remember this is how you reclaim your power. algorithm by putting power in the comments let's just tell the truth sure it does yep so natalie heard there's a neuroscience method that helps people manage anger better do you think something like that really could help do you yeah breathing stopping focusing and stopping yourself from doing it yeah it can help that's like self-control that's like the fruit of the that's all it is why don't you just activate your food or your spirit agreed so it does help but it's it is actually a biblical principle that's all he did

interesting yep yep that's interesting that's easy for us Christians quit being carnal yeah true I mean I always I always go back to like you can like you can get angry Jesus got angry, but it was righteous anger, and he didn't sin while he was angry. True. And most people do. True. That's why one of the things is, is self-control. And the other thing is giving, like I say, give yourself a time limit.

But in that time limit, don't sin while you're there and don't, like, let your anger grow. Because a lot of times that's why, if you give yourself only a period of time, you know that you need to start de-escalating your anger or your irritation or frustration or whatever it is it's got you all hung up but yeah that's that's interesting because I never even thought about it like that until you start talking I'm like well that's self-control that's a fruit of spirit so it does work people Natalie what are your thoughts on this an MRI of a 33 year old who had 12 syringes of what is that hyluronic acid fillers what is that they're hyluronic acid it's kind of the same stuff it's like a it's

like an oil based like that they put like like to help with your skin right but they put it in fillers to like pump up certain areas whether it be to get rid of wrinkles yeah wrinkles or yeah mostly wrinkles but it fills like you You're like different areas on your face and can kind of like change your appearance, not just with the wrinkles, but other things. Oh, yeah, because sometimes I've seen people do the cheek lift. Correct. And it's not for the wrinkles.

It's because they have no real cheekbones. Correct. Interesting. Well, then over six years, it showed 28 cc's of material, more than double what was injected. Since hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic pholic, hydropholic, philic, and can expand tissue over time, it seems filler can spread, distort tissue planes, and last far longer than advertised, sometimes leading to chronic puffiness or swelling. Do you think this changes how people should approach long-term filler use? And was this reference that you have on here? Is it a video?

It is. Interesting. You're looking at here is an MRI image of a 33 patient who had over 12 cc, which 12 syringes of hyluronic acid filler injected to her face over the past six years. Now the area that is green is the hyluronic acid filler. Now what's interesting here is that when we did volumetric analysis, that means when we measure the amount of filler, the amount of volume that was there, it ended up being close to 28 cc, which is more than twice the amount of filler that was injected.

And what this shows us is that hyaluronic acid fillers are hydrophilic. That means they love water and they also cause tissue expansion. So that's important to know. And over the next several videos, I'm going to explain. going to explain what are the problems associated with these things. But it was over six years. That's true. She was in her 20s.

So why? Because she didn't like the way she looked, she would get all these fillers to change her appearance. She wouldn't even, she didn't even need that. At 20-something years old, you have no wrinkles. Right. And I think a lot of people, like they say that the hyleronic acid, is that what it is, is like more natural.

It is. Right. So we're like, you're taught that, like, Like, it's just the natural part of what we have, but they're finding out. But like you said, it's hydrophilic, right? So it loves water. That's why they say it's good topically because it helps keep water in your skin to keep you hydrated. Right.

But to plump yourself up at 20-something years old. Yeah. A, that's just sad. It's actually a trend happening right now where they're calling it facial balancing. What does that mean? So if your face is like asymmetrical, I guess. most of them are you use filler to kind of make your face perfect look perfect give you a sharper jaw line more of a chin maybe even like because as we age we lose volume in our face yeah um it will fill in

the temple area so yeah is it for is it the new trend is it for older it's for any age i see a lot of like young influencers actually doing it like they're young So if you look at your face, just like if you ever look at your body, right? You have a boob that's bigger than the other. You have a foot that's bigger than the other. And if you look at your face, it's not identical from one side to the other side. So what she's saying, the trend is to make it identical on both sides, and that's what they're using. That's where the word balance comes in.

Yeah, facial balancing. And they use filler for it. That's crazy. Yeah. I would think and dangerous. And expensive. Where do they get the money? No kids.

Well, here's the thing, because doesn't everything only last for like three to six months, like whatever you do? Yeah, pretty much. But I have seen people who've had fillers and the fillers actually move to areas that it's not supposed to be and you just have to wait for your body to reabsorb it. And it's sad. Are you kidding me? Especially lips.

Yeah. I'm dead serious. The filler migrates. It moves. And it don't stay in the spot you want it to stay. Holy moly. It's sad because people just aren't, the world is not satisfied with what God gave them. True.

Right. And what the world says is pretty. Right, exactly. Distorts the younger minds thinking that they're not good enough. They're not good enough. That's crazy to me. Mm-hmm. That's very sad.

You're right. It is very sad. It is. Question number seven. A 42-year-old man with type 1 diabetes has started producing insulin again after receiving invisible gene-edited cells that act like natural beta cells. No daily injections, no major surgery, and no injection. No rejection. This breakthrough could mean type 1 diabetes might be actually reversible in the future.

Natalie, what do you think? could gene-edited cell therapy really be the beginning of the end for lifelong insulin dependency? Yes, there's a study in China where a lady has been off of insulin for over a year. They used her skin cells, her own skin cells, so that her body wouldn't fail the rejection of somebody else's. And then they put it in there and they redid the genes in it and made it a beta cell. And her body now starts, it started producing insulin on its own. that's amazing does she have to keep going to the doctor to have this done or how does that i haven't read any more than the fact that she's been over a year without insulin at all since

she went through this because it is i was just talking to aaron about this because basically it's all that's happened is a virus has attacked the pancreas so if you can make the pancreas feel better again it will start producing again so you just need to replenish the cells that were damaged or are sick. Correct. And then it'll start doing its job again. That's very interesting. My brother-in-law sent me some stuff similar to this.

So reading that, I'm like, that sounds familiar. Like I just, I didn't know he didn't give me anything about a 41-year-old man, but that's very interesting. Do you want to do the video next? Yes. So that won't work for type two because type two is totally different

than type one. Correct. Type 2 is more diet. diet yeah people can if people paid attention to what they put in themselves yeah um then type two you can would never happen it would never happen and you can reverse it right by diet correct gotcha okay what do you want to do with number eight because we only have two more after this i mean one more after this and then we're going to close out yeah let me let me play the video i think this will be enough because um i actually really like her but i'm curious what natalie has to think about this specific vaccine.

Your doctor wants you to have the shingles vaccine, but it's not for the reason that you think. It's not about the rash. Shingles causes a rash, and that rash could happen anywhere on your body, but for most people, it happens right around here, and it can itch, it can hurt really bad, it can blister, but the rash goes away.

However, the pain that accompanies the rash does not always go away. That can persist for weeks, four months, maybe for the rest of your life. This is called post-herpetic neuralgia, and it can be really, really bad this is why your doctor is recommending a shingles vaccine they don't want you to be in pain for the rest of your life they're also trying to help you not get shingles again because

that can happen people can get it multiple times and also sometimes the shingles rash occurs in the eye and the ear and that can be really bad because that's how we hear and how we see and that's not good let me know in the comments have you had shingles and how bad so i've had shingles did i get the shingles vaccine no would i get the shingles vaccine no I mean, I would never get any vaccine. But my thing to that is... Yes, there is such thing as post-herpatic neuralgia where... So anytime you have shingles, it follows a dermatone, a nerve, right?

So it hides in your spinal cord. Anytime you've had, anybody who's had chicken pox can get shingles. If you've never had chicken pox, you will never get shingles. So there's no sense of even going to get a shingles shot, because then you just give yourself the varicillop. you give yourself the varicella vaccine or the varicella cells cells and then you're just going to end up with shingles anyway um i've had shingles i had a really bad case of shingles my whole left arm you you've seen it my whole left arm was completely covered in it yeah um and even the doctors were like they've never

seen anything as bad um and the neuralgia is it's neuropathy it's like burning pain like i thought before I broke out with the shingles, I literally thought I slept wrong because I had to leave the state and go to a funeral. And I thought because I was on somebody else's bed, I slept wrong. That's, I mean, it felt like my whole arm was like dead. I mean, it was like burning, horrible pain. And it took a while for it to go away. But I think if you, I think some, and I don't want to, I don't want to sound cold, but I think some people stay focused on it way too long. Does that make sense what I'm saying? Yeah, because if you don't focus on it, a lot of the time,

everything that you're feeling goes away. Yes. Correct. True that. Correct. So either way, I don't believe in the shingles vaccine. I don't believe in a lot of vaccines. I just don't think you need them.

I mean, your body was made to fight for itself. And you're putting things in there that are not good. And people who have had the shingles vaccine still get shingles. So it doesn't matter. It's like everything else. Now, shingles in the eye is really, really bad. Shingles in the ear can be really, really bad. Obviously, if there's any of the dermatide, I think it's dermatites that go on to the eye itself,

it can cause, like, blindness. So if you ever get one shingles near your face, you definitely need to be seen and get put on some antivirals and stuff like that. But it is treatable. Just let your body. I just think so many times a lot of like shingles happens for people who are mature adults and a lot of times it's people who are in retirement. That's what I've seen a lot.

I very rarely see people or have known people who are the teenagers getting shingles. I did know somebody who was like 10 one time. It's usually over 50. It's usually over 45, 50. And here's the thing, 20 years ago, if somebody had shingles, they were told they had to completely isolate. They had to stay in there. Like in the hospital, they couldn't be in another room.

And now they tell you not to isolate. Well, and what I was going to say is a lot of times it's mature adults who have retired. They get shingles. And they do fixate on it because what else do they have to do? Nothing. But if you were working back in the day, you realized, like back in the day, like Gen Xers, even some millennials, the older millennials, we've worked where we were dying while we were working. And then went to the hospital afterwards because we had to work.

We had to work. Yeah. So it's like the mentality of things, like going to work actually helped you get through being feeling so bad. And then when you went into the hospital, you're like really knowing how bad it is because that's all you have to think about. So it's so true. Like what you fix on is how bad it will be. If you don't pay attention to it and you stay distracted from it, it's not as bad. I mean, not all things, but pretty much all things, are like that.

Natalie, since Ivermectin has anti-microbial, microbial, antimicrobial, I should have had a dash in between there, that would have helped me. And anti-inflammatory properties, do you find it useful for skin conditions beyond lice, like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or molluscum, molluscum, contagis some molestin contagio some oh some god bless it my phonics is not paying off yes and you can actually

there is prescription strength ivermectin yes you can get it over the counter but you can get prescription strength ivermectin at 1% instead of the 0.5% and you can use it for rosacea it is actually a treatment protocol for rosacea

and that interesting and it's showing promising for eczema as well so yep psorias all of those yeah like Allison here I put myself on Allison has those like little dots is that the that's the molestum contagios something like this would do might work okay interesting very it's also it's also good for skin cancer yes skin cancer they're finding skin cancer like people are putting ivermectin on skin cancer and it's going away I saw that in an article with somebody who literally had skin cancer and then she ended up telling me about it like I don't know

a month later and I'm like I knew I just read that but I don't you can't believe everything you read correct I mean it's come on there's so many things out there nowadays you got to go oh is that real yeah is that the same Ivermectin that you take orally um similar to that you mean like to put it topically like if you're topical is that the same as the the thing that we take orally mm-hmm so what you just pop open the pill no it's a paste oh it's a paste you need like you need like like a lotion or a paste. Yes, which, yeah.

But it's not that expensive. No, it's not. No. That was at Walmart. I think it was like $28 for the point five. But remember, that's 0.5%. You can get 1%. You can get a compounded so it's stronger.

Compound is way better. And you said that's a, like you would have to prescribe that. Is that what you said? Yeah, okay. Yeah, but like it's $70 for a container of that big. And you don't need. And it don't need, you don't need a bunch. No.

No, you just a little. I mean, Norma has eczema and Tom had this, like, Tom had this funky thing. And, like, we were just like, well, just put some, I don't even know what that thing was that he had, but it's kind of. We're done looking at that because we had prated away. Yeah. And it never went away. But it's not, I mean, it's not skin cancer, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it was, Norma has eczema. And she can put that on there. Yeah. Yeah. Jeff takes ivermectin every day. I know lots of people who take evermectin every day. Not lots. I know. I know people. What happens if you take a whole syringe, though? You'll end up seeing yellow.

Okay. There's a lot of things that can, there's a lot of things that can kind of happen that you don't want to happen. Well, there's people who do the methylene blue and the ivermectin, and they do both of those every day. And what is there reasoning behind doing both of those every day? what do you think then at methyling blue my husband does every day it's good for brain it's very good he says when he skips it he cannot focus and he everything just goes like this and when he takes the methylin blue it literally brings him in i've heard other people say that what are you two laughing

out over there about the taking a whole syringe full somebody did that didn't they maybe did you do that not not me well listen you do not know measurements okay I explain Especially metal. You have to remember a whole syringe full of Ivermectin that you get for a horse is for a 1,400 pound pound. And Ivermectin is based on weight. Well, was it somebody who had close to 1,400 pounds? I didn't think so. So when you, that's where, that's where over, like over COVID, people were like overdosing on Ivermectin because they would get the pace.

And again, it is. is for a 1400 pound animal look at them was the person over 200 pounds you know who it is I know who it is I know I know who it is too I'm so not surprised crying oh my gosh there's not enough weight in the world some people are just impulsive that's all and feral you learn your lesson though and prayer is amazing so yeah you know Yeah.
