1
00:00:53,850 –> 00:00:57,280
Today, we are speaking
with Dr. David Yates.

2
00:00:57,350 –> 00:01:04,989
He is a doctor of chiropractic medicine,
and he actually has some enlightening

3
00:01:05,030 –> 00:01:06,990
things to share with us today.

4
00:01:08,110 –> 00:01:11,670
David, could you please introduce
yourself and let people know just

5
00:01:11,670 –> 00:01:13,040
a little bit about you, please?

6
00:01:14,360 –> 00:01:16,160
Be very happy to do that, Ed.

7
00:01:16,350 –> 00:01:18,270
And thank you for having me on the show.

8
00:01:18,650 –> 00:01:23,620
Um, as Ed mentioned, um, I am
a, uh, doctor of chiropractic.

9
00:01:23,640 –> 00:01:26,110
Uh, I specialize in the upper neck.

10
00:01:26,619 –> 00:01:32,169
Um, in the profession we, we call it
upper cervical specific chiropractic.

11
00:01:32,189 –> 00:01:35,195
Uh, I graduated from
Cleveland Chiropractic College

12
00:01:35,195 –> 00:01:37,909
in Los Angeles in 2007.

13
00:01:38,340 –> 00:01:43,180
Um, I’ve practiced in five
different states, most recently

14
00:01:43,180 –> 00:01:45,270
here in California, where I’m from.

15
00:01:45,720 –> 00:01:48,330
Uh, born and raised in the L. A. area.

16
00:01:48,860 –> 00:01:53,489
Uh, did some undergraduate work
at, um, a college called Brigham

17
00:01:53,490 –> 00:01:56,350
Young University in Provo, Utah.

18
00:01:56,360 –> 00:02:00,539
I got a bachelor’s in Spanish,
minor in business, and now

19
00:02:00,539 –> 00:02:02,199
a doctorate in chiropractic.

20
00:02:02,759 –> 00:02:07,020
Um, and most recently, uh, I’ve
come across a technology that

21
00:02:07,229 –> 00:02:10,639
hopefully we’ll be able to talk a
little bit about, um, during this

22
00:02:10,639 –> 00:02:13,470
session called, uh, phototherapy.

23
00:02:13,875 –> 00:02:19,545
Um, and a company called LifeWave, uh,
which is a global wellness technology

24
00:02:19,545 –> 00:02:21,565
company that I came across in February.

25
00:02:21,565 –> 00:02:28,495
And I’m really, really excited, um, about
their technology, um, and how it relates

26
00:02:28,495 –> 00:02:31,294
to what I do, uh, as a chiropractor.

27
00:02:31,294 –> 00:02:31,634
So.

28
00:02:33,695 –> 00:02:39,829
I found that technology kind of
unique in what it says it does.

29
00:02:40,070 –> 00:02:45,019
And I really want to dive right into
that, get it out of the way, because

30
00:02:45,209 –> 00:02:49,070
I really think that we’re going to
have a great conversation today.

31
00:02:50,269 –> 00:02:58,489
But this, this is a simple patch, and
I don’t want to say simple because

32
00:02:58,509 –> 00:03:05,490
I’m not aware of the full value within
this patch, so why don’t you dive

33
00:03:05,490 –> 00:03:10,735
in and tell us about the technology
and what is inside of this patch.

34
00:03:12,115 –> 00:03:12,485
Yeah.

35
00:03:12,485 –> 00:03:14,345
No, that’s a great topic.

36
00:03:14,345 –> 00:03:16,095
We’re gonna have fun talking about this.

37
00:03:16,105 –> 00:03:22,705
Um, LifeWave, uh, the actual
company, started, um, back in 2004.

38
00:03:22,734 –> 00:03:29,600
And the very first patch that they
manufactured, um, this phototherapy

39
00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:31,960
patch, was called Energy Enhancer.

40
00:03:32,520 –> 00:03:41,199
And I’m sure, I’m sure you guys remember,
uh, uh, uh, uh, Michael Phelps from

41
00:03:41,199 –> 00:03:46,380
the, I think it was the 2008 Olympics
where he won all those gold medals.

42
00:03:46,680 –> 00:03:50,499
He was actually using this
energy patch on his body while

43
00:03:50,499 –> 00:03:53,704
he was swimming in that Olympics.

44
00:03:54,185 –> 00:03:57,845
And I’m not going to say that that’s
a reason that he won all the gold

45
00:03:57,845 –> 00:03:59,334
medals, I’m not going to say that.

46
00:03:59,335 –> 00:04:04,575
But I will say that, um, as a
world class athlete, Michael

47
00:04:04,584 –> 00:04:09,244
Phelps was using this technology,
and it was very new technology.

48
00:04:09,445 –> 00:04:15,935
Um, and these patches, what they do,
um, and I’m not, I’m not a scientist,

49
00:04:15,935 –> 00:04:17,945
I’m not an expert in phototherapy.

50
00:04:18,945 –> 00:04:23,395
You, who, who you would want to have
on your show is, is David Schmidt,

51
00:04:23,414 –> 00:04:26,395
who’s the CEO of, uh, LifeWave.

52
00:04:26,405 –> 00:04:27,565
He’s an inventor.

53
00:04:28,030 –> 00:04:34,539
Um, his, his role model growing up was
Thomas Edison and, um, he just wanted to

54
00:04:34,610 –> 00:04:41,469
invent things that would enhance human
performance, um, enhance our ability as

55
00:04:41,480 –> 00:04:45,190
human beings to, uh, be healthy naturally.

56
00:04:45,560 –> 00:04:51,670
Um, he, he definitely saw a shift
in healthcare where we were becoming

57
00:04:51,670 –> 00:04:56,460
very medicated, um, as, as not
only a nation, but in the world.

58
00:04:56,860 –> 00:05:04,299
Um, and, and didn’t see much progress
in the fight on cancer and all these

59
00:05:04,299 –> 00:05:09,630
other things that started way back
in 1971 with, uh, President Nixon

60
00:05:09,630 –> 00:05:11,850
when he declared war on cancer.

61
00:05:12,240 –> 00:05:17,184
Um, which, you know, coincidentally was
the same time he took the dollar off

62
00:05:17,184 –> 00:05:21,265
of the gold standard, uh, which led to
a lot, I think, in my opinion, a lot

63
00:05:21,265 –> 00:05:23,145
of our economic problems that we have.

64
00:05:23,405 –> 00:05:29,585
But anyway, um, you know, David Schmidt,
what he did is he manufactured this patch.

65
00:05:29,594 –> 00:05:34,715
Um, and this is years of being in the lab
and, and, you know, thinking about this.

66
00:05:34,724 –> 00:05:41,224
Um, he, what he has done is he’s
manipulated different, um, quanta of,

67
00:05:41,414 –> 00:05:44,040
of light waves, light wavelengths, okay?

68
00:05:44,310 –> 00:05:48,665
See, what people don’t understand and
what, and what I have been educating

69
00:05:48,665 –> 00:05:54,204
people about ever since I became a doctor
is that, especially as a chiropractor,

70
00:05:54,625 –> 00:06:01,485
is that our bodies, every living thing
emits, uh, light, infrared light, okay?

71
00:06:01,795 –> 00:06:07,565
And this goes back to our school days,
um, photosynthesis, synthesis, okay?

72
00:06:07,745 –> 00:06:11,285
When, you know, we learned about,
you know, if you plant a seed in

73
00:06:11,285 –> 00:06:17,125
the ground, okay, and you give it
water, um, without light, without

74
00:06:17,125 –> 00:06:19,735
sunlight, it’s not going to grow, okay?

75
00:06:19,935 –> 00:06:25,545
And then once it does start growing,
that seed, um, it needs light.

76
00:06:25,584 –> 00:06:28,985
It needs the perfect
balance of light, okay?

77
00:06:28,985 –> 00:06:33,745
Sunlight, okay, and water, right, to grow.

78
00:06:34,125 –> 00:06:38,435
And our bodies emit
infrared light continuously.

79
00:06:38,445 –> 00:06:45,395
So does, so does, um, plants, any, any
living thing, animals, all of it, okay?

80
00:06:45,775 –> 00:06:51,225
And so, you know, focusing on us as
human beings, um, when you put this patch

81
00:06:51,225 –> 00:06:55,505
on your body, and the, the ingredients
is, is very simple ingredients,

82
00:06:55,505 –> 00:07:00,484
there’s, there’s different sugars, amino
acids, different, um, minerals and things.

83
00:07:00,744 –> 00:07:02,644
And it’s, it’s patented.

84
00:07:02,950 –> 00:07:08,280
Uh, and the reason it’s patented is
because, um, of, of what it does.

85
00:07:08,640 –> 00:07:13,260
This latest patch, which, uh,
I was, I was introduced to in

86
00:07:13,270 –> 00:07:18,590
February of this year, which was
actually manufactured, um, in 2019.

87
00:07:18,600 –> 00:07:22,730
Cause we have like ten different
phototherapy patches in this company.

88
00:07:22,920 –> 00:07:26,400
The energy patch was the
first one that Michael Phelps

89
00:07:26,400 –> 00:07:28,840
used, but I’ve only used X39.

90
00:07:29,210 –> 00:07:35,210
And what it does is it actually elevates
GHK copper peptide in the body, which

91
00:07:35,220 –> 00:07:37,580
activates, uh, dormant stem cells.

92
00:07:38,020 –> 00:07:42,769
And this is, this is revolutionary
because anybody who knows about stem

93
00:07:42,770 –> 00:07:48,360
cell research and stem cell therapy,
um, I mean, first of all, it’s extremely

94
00:07:48,360 –> 00:07:51,380
expensive, but the results are amazing.

95
00:07:51,750 –> 00:07:55,240
You know, stem cells can replicate
any cell type in the body.

96
00:07:55,660 –> 00:08:00,660
And the, the most famous case was, and
I don’t, I don’t remember the details of

97
00:08:00,660 –> 00:08:07,310
this case because I wasn’t even, uh, my
focus back in 2018 when stem cell therapy

98
00:08:07,310 –> 00:08:13,090
really started to get, um, popular and,
and you know, it was on Time Magazine

99
00:08:13,090 –> 00:08:19,479
and there were all these articles and
they basically, um, originated from a

100
00:08:19,479 –> 00:08:26,120
case in which they injected stem cells
from, um, that they extracted from an

101
00:08:26,120 –> 00:08:31,960
umbilical cord, you know, uh, of a baby,
uh, natural born baby, healthy baby.

102
00:08:32,220 –> 00:08:38,020
They extracted these, um, uh, uh, stem
cells and they injected them in the knee

103
00:08:38,020 –> 00:08:43,380
of this patient that was considering,
uh, knee replacement because of the

104
00:08:43,390 –> 00:08:46,120
degeneration in the tissues of the knee.

105
00:08:46,600 –> 00:08:51,330
And through those stem cell injections and
that, and like I said, I don’t, I don’t

106
00:08:51,330 –> 00:08:56,920
remember, um, the details because my focus
has been chiropractic my entire life.

107
00:08:56,940 –> 00:08:59,169
That’s what, you know, my,
my studies have been in.

108
00:08:59,580 –> 00:09:06,010
Um, but, but anyway, as a result, um,
this individual, the, it regenerated

109
00:09:06,070 –> 00:09:10,490
the, the tissue, um, the knee tissue,
the, you know, the meniscus, the

110
00:09:10,670 –> 00:09:15,770
cartilage, the bone that was degenerated,
and it was a huge breakthrough.

111
00:09:16,125 –> 00:09:20,805
Um, and so now you can get stem cell
injection, it’s come a long way.

112
00:09:20,805 –> 00:09:23,305
And I, like I said, I’m
not an expert on this.

113
00:09:23,535 –> 00:09:27,714
But on this patch, that’s what,
that’s what really intrigued me about

114
00:09:27,715 –> 00:09:34,534
this, this X39 patch that I’ve been
wearing off and on, on my body since

115
00:09:34,544 –> 00:09:40,655
February is that, um, you don’t need
injections and, and it’s so inexpensive.

116
00:09:40,655 –> 00:09:43,871
I mean, one patch is like
three dollars and fifty cents.

117
00:09:43,871 –> 00:09:48,185
Less than your cappuccino at
Starbucks each day, you know,

118
00:09:48,225 –> 00:09:53,144
for, for one day treatment of stem
cell for twenty-four hours, okay?

119
00:09:53,144 –> 00:09:55,695
Because you can wear
this patch on your body.

120
00:09:55,695 –> 00:09:58,405
And that’s, that’s what I
do since I started using it,

121
00:09:58,625 –> 00:10:00,205
I just slap it on my body.

122
00:10:00,485 –> 00:10:05,375
Um, I, I wear it until I take a shower,
you know, I take it off to take a shower

123
00:10:05,375 –> 00:10:09,284
and then when I’m done taking a shower,
I put it back on, um, that’s what I was

124
00:10:09,285 –> 00:10:10,885
doing when I first started using it.

125
00:10:10,885 –> 00:10:12,874
Now I only use it like three times a week.

126
00:10:13,075 –> 00:10:15,055
You can use it every day, it’s safe.

127
00:10:15,055 –> 00:10:18,125
It’s 100 percent organic,
it’s non allergenic.

128
00:10:18,145 –> 00:10:20,345
It has all this organic material in it.

129
00:10:20,555 –> 00:10:26,740
But somehow it manipulates the infrared
light that our body admits at different

130
00:10:26,750 –> 00:10:33,720
wavelengths to either elevate or decrease
certain chemicals or peptides in the body.

131
00:10:34,020 –> 00:10:37,499
Um, for instance, we have a
glutathione patch and, you know,

132
00:10:37,499 –> 00:10:42,615
people know that glutathione is
the master antioxidant of the body.

133
00:10:42,615 –> 00:10:47,725
We have a, and what it does is it elevates
glutathione naturally in your body

134
00:10:47,725 –> 00:10:49,784
when you wear this patch on your body.

135
00:10:49,784 –> 00:10:54,685
And then we have another patch called
Silent Nights that elevates melatonin.

136
00:10:54,985 –> 00:11:00,335
Um, but what’s, what’s unique about
this type of treatment, Ed, is that

137
00:11:00,335 –> 00:11:04,925
it works synergistically with the
innate intelligence of the body.

138
00:11:05,360 –> 00:11:10,480
Um, and, and that’s what’s so fascinating
and so revolutionary about it, in my

139
00:11:10,480 –> 00:11:15,999
opinion, because, you know, we as doctors,
you know, we can inject certain things.

140
00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:20,980
We can inject GHK copper
peptide into the body, okay?

141
00:11:20,990 –> 00:11:25,655
But are we, you know, what I’ve learned
as a doctor is that too much of a good

142
00:11:25,655 –> 00:11:27,435
thing is not a good thing anymore.

143
00:11:27,775 –> 00:11:32,064
You know, I’ll use
hyponatremia as my example.

144
00:11:32,324 –> 00:11:36,274
You know, everybody knows that
water is very important for

145
00:11:36,275 –> 00:11:38,774
health and for survival, right?

146
00:11:39,604 –> 00:11:44,395
Um, but if you drink too much water
too quickly, you can die from that.

147
00:11:44,725 –> 00:11:48,035
It’s, it’s a condition called
hyponatremia in which it

148
00:11:48,035 –> 00:11:50,894
saturates the sodium in your body.

149
00:11:50,895 –> 00:11:54,925
And so health is all about balance,
you know, the balance between

150
00:11:54,925 –> 00:12:00,685
sodium, potassium, the balance and,
and hormones, the balance, uh, you

151
00:12:00,685 –> 00:12:04,344
know, you, I could go on and on
about all these different things.

152
00:12:04,634 –> 00:12:08,064
Um, but too much of a good thing
is not a good thing anymore, and

153
00:12:08,064 –> 00:12:13,285
so we don’t always know as doctors,
you know, how much is needed.

154
00:12:13,705 –> 00:12:17,615
Um, but our body always
knows what’s right.

155
00:12:17,645 –> 00:12:24,945
What is the right balance of hormones,
minerals, uh, vitamins, all that.

156
00:12:25,225 –> 00:12:30,814
Um, and so that’s, that’s what I love
about this technology and what it does.

157
00:12:31,745 –> 00:12:33,625
And another thing, it does no harm.

158
00:12:33,625 –> 00:12:38,315
I mean, if you look at the Hippocratic
Oath, every doctor, when I became

159
00:12:38,315 –> 00:12:42,685
a doctor, I took the oath that, the
Hippocratic Oath, which says do no harm.

160
00:12:43,420 –> 00:12:48,700
You know, are we doing that as medical
doctors in today’s, you know, society?

161
00:12:48,700 –> 00:12:49,610
No, we’re not.

162
00:12:49,640 –> 00:12:53,510
We’re actually, iatrogenic
disease, uh, many years is

163
00:12:53,510 –> 00:12:54,979
the number one cause of death.

164
00:12:55,340 –> 00:12:58,879
Not cancer, not heart
disease, iatrogenic disease.

165
00:12:58,889 –> 00:13:01,519
Doing what your doctor told you to do.

166
00:13:01,630 –> 00:13:06,550
Taking that medication, or going to
the hospital, or getting that surgery.

167
00:13:06,990 –> 00:13:10,670
Too much of a good thing is not
a good thing anymore and medical

168
00:13:10,670 –> 00:13:12,320
doctors don’t know what that is.

169
00:13:12,320 –> 00:13:13,040
But guess what?

170
00:13:13,050 –> 00:13:16,270
The innate intelligence
of your body always knows.

171
00:13:16,599 –> 00:13:19,380
And this technology works synergistically.

172
00:13:19,650 –> 00:13:23,429
I don’t know how it does, you
know, like I said, this, whatever’s

173
00:13:23,429 –> 00:13:25,049
in that patch is patented.

174
00:13:25,050 –> 00:13:30,115
I don’t know exactly what, I’ve
just been told, uh, amino acids, you

175
00:13:30,115 –> 00:13:31,895
know, some sugars, stuff like that.

176
00:13:31,905 –> 00:13:34,825
The Chinese have already tried
to steal this technology.

177
00:13:35,055 –> 00:13:39,285
But David Schmidt, the CEO of
LifeWave, was so smart that, you know,

178
00:13:39,285 –> 00:13:43,875
he, he, he made it so when you cut
the patch open, it deactivates it.

179
00:13:43,885 –> 00:13:45,484
So you can’t really study it.

180
00:13:45,675 –> 00:13:51,330
And so the Chinese wasn’t, weren’t
able to replicate, um, the technology.

181
00:13:51,330 –> 00:13:55,180
It’s, it’s LifeWave’s technology,
and he’s not giving it up to

182
00:13:55,180 –> 00:13:56,960
anybody, and I’m happy that he’s not.

183
00:13:56,970 –> 00:13:58,550
And I’m happy to be a part of LifeWave.

184
00:14:00,500 –> 00:14:01,599
Very interesting.

185
00:14:01,630 –> 00:14:07,349
And I do encourage people to
look that up, uh, X39 is the

186
00:14:07,349 –> 00:14:11,179
patch name, and, from LifeWave.

187
00:14:12,080 –> 00:14:12,969
Interesting.

188
00:14:13,080 –> 00:14:19,875
So let’s segue into that balance
thing, because as you know, David,

189
00:14:19,875 –> 00:14:26,665
our world is kind of topsy turvy right
now, and there really is no balance.

190
00:14:26,915 –> 00:14:34,405
I recently had an interview with Dr. Fred
Moss, and he’s known as the undoctor.

191
00:14:35,085 –> 00:14:39,185
And he highlights, you
don’t need medication.

192
00:14:39,415 –> 00:14:45,214
What you were just saying right
there, there are so many doctors

193
00:14:45,214 –> 00:14:52,449
and, you know, clinicians standing up
and speaking out about all of these

194
00:14:52,459 –> 00:14:58,979
medical atrocities that have been
happening in our nation and our world.

195
00:14:59,229 –> 00:15:03,849
I think that’s a very positive
step in the right direction.

196
00:15:05,139 –> 00:15:07,089
Tell me your take on that, please.

197
00:15:08,679 –> 00:15:10,599
I, I agree 100%.

198
00:15:10,790 –> 00:15:12,229
I, I love seeing it.

199
00:15:12,510 –> 00:15:19,569
It’s sad that we basically had to have
a manufactured pandemic in order for

200
00:15:19,679 –> 00:15:25,519
medical doctors and people in general
to start realizing that, look, what

201
00:15:25,520 –> 00:15:27,950
we’re doing is not working, okay?

202
00:15:28,109 –> 00:15:33,359
We do not have a health care system, we
have what’s called a sick care system.

203
00:15:33,719 –> 00:15:37,959
And it’s all based on profits,
unfortunately, dominated by the

204
00:15:37,959 –> 00:15:40,239
pharmaceutical industry, okay?

205
00:15:40,479 –> 00:15:45,189
The pharmaceutical industry
exists for profit, okay?

206
00:15:45,399 –> 00:15:49,889
Don’t let them fool you into thinking
that they’re trying to find a cure

207
00:15:49,899 –> 00:15:52,579
for cancer, that’s bullshit, okay?

208
00:15:52,920 –> 00:15:57,560
Cancer is a multi billion
dollar, um, maker for the

209
00:15:57,560 –> 00:15:59,895
pharmaceutical industry, okay?

210
00:16:00,234 –> 00:16:06,814
Um, and their marketing plan is
keep sick people sick so they will

211
00:16:06,814 –> 00:16:11,915
continue to use our product and
we will continue to be lucrative,

212
00:16:12,254 –> 00:16:12,754
okay?

213
00:16:12,964 –> 00:16:16,434
And unfortunately, um, they dominate it.

214
00:16:16,434 –> 00:16:20,425
You know, the person with the most
money has the most control, right?

215
00:16:20,994 –> 00:16:25,135
I mean, that’s pretty basic
to any civilization, right?

216
00:16:25,385 –> 00:16:27,714
If you have the money,
you have the control.

217
00:16:28,230 –> 00:16:33,089
So, the pharmaceutical industry
controls our healthcare, uh, system.

218
00:16:33,099 –> 00:16:38,810
And being a healthcare provider, it’s
been very, very frustrating, um, to

219
00:16:38,810 –> 00:16:43,099
me the last seventeen years that I’ve
been a doctor and learned about this.

220
00:16:43,339 –> 00:16:46,989
Because I knew nothing about this
before I became a chiropractor, but

221
00:16:46,989 –> 00:16:52,199
as I learned more and more about how
the body works and how our healthcare

222
00:16:52,199 –> 00:16:56,994
system works, you know, you just have
to keep fighting against it, really.

223
00:16:57,004 –> 00:17:02,834
Because, um, but like you said, it’s
good to see that medical doctors

224
00:17:02,844 –> 00:17:06,774
are waking up and they’re saying,
Yeah, this isn’t right, okay?

225
00:17:06,915 –> 00:17:12,074
We need to get away from the
allopathic philosophy of health.

226
00:17:12,354 –> 00:17:17,739
I mean, it’s, you know, in, in
an emergency situation, or to

227
00:17:17,739 –> 00:17:24,520
basically make a terminal cancer
patient comfortable, then yes, that,

228
00:17:24,529 –> 00:17:26,629
that’s when you use medication,

229
00:17:26,949 –> 00:17:27,619
okay?

230
00:17:27,969 –> 00:17:34,329
Um, but really, if you look at the
statistics, I mean, more than fifty

231
00:17:34,350 –> 00:17:39,560
percent of all Americans suffer from
at least one chronic illness, okay?

232
00:17:39,620 –> 00:17:44,980
And you, you don’t go, you don’t
go the allopathic route when

233
00:17:44,980 –> 00:17:47,010
you have a chronic health issue.

234
00:17:47,270 –> 00:17:51,800
The reason being is that all
you’re going to get is medication.

235
00:17:52,110 –> 00:17:55,969
See, and, and just to define it for
those that aren’t familiar with the

236
00:17:55,969 –> 00:17:57,949
allopathic philosophy of health.

237
00:17:58,409 –> 00:18:03,209
This goes all the way back to Hippocrates,
the father of medicine, um, that

238
00:18:03,209 –> 00:18:06,189
basically if there’s something wrong
with the body, you need to give, you

239
00:18:06,189 –> 00:18:10,490
need to add something to the body or
take something away from the body.

240
00:18:11,349 –> 00:18:13,639
That’s the allopathic
philosophy of health.

241
00:18:13,960 –> 00:18:18,709
And I concur with that in
an emergency situation.

242
00:18:19,529 –> 00:18:25,929
But most healthcare issues are not
emergency situations, they’re chronic

243
00:18:26,260 –> 00:18:34,699
situations from people, um, you know,
not using their body to heal themselves.

244
00:18:34,889 –> 00:18:37,039
That, that’s the chiropractic philosophy.

245
00:18:37,039 –> 00:18:41,840
The vitalistic philosophy of health
is that you don’t need to add anything

246
00:18:41,840 –> 00:18:46,169
to the body or take anything away
from the body, the body is fully

247
00:18:46,169 –> 00:18:52,519
equipped to heal itself as long as you
facilitate it via the nervous system.

248
00:18:53,114 –> 00:18:57,635
And, and that’s, if there’s anything
that your listeners learn from

249
00:18:57,635 –> 00:18:59,975
this episode, Ed, it is that.

250
00:19:00,654 –> 00:19:04,854
That the nervous system is the key, okay?

251
00:19:04,854 –> 00:19:09,954
The nervous system, the communication
system of your body, as long as

252
00:19:09,954 –> 00:19:16,320
there’s no interference to it, it
can heal anything and does maintain

253
00:19:16,550 –> 00:19:20,180
homeostasis or balance perfectly.

254
00:19:22,430 –> 00:19:23,580
I like that a lot.

255
00:19:23,960 –> 00:19:27,580
You know, that’s powerful,
you know, balances everything.

256
00:19:27,830 –> 00:19:38,909
And, and instead of telling people, here,
take this statin for your cholesterol,

257
00:19:39,889 –> 00:19:48,659
why isn’t it being controlled through diet
and education about what you are intaking?

258
00:19:49,009 –> 00:19:56,129
Uh, a big soda, and juju fruits,
and potato chips, all of these

259
00:19:56,389 –> 00:20:01,789
deadly things that we are putting
into our body is really the

260
00:20:01,839 –> 00:20:04,779
epidemic that we’re facing today.

261
00:20:05,179 –> 00:20:08,459
And I had to find that out the hard way.

262
00:20:08,699 –> 00:20:12,390
You know, I, I shocked my system.

263
00:20:12,660 –> 00:20:20,780
And I was obese and I broke my system
and it wasn’t until I took responsibility

264
00:20:21,159 –> 00:20:26,240
and started educating myself instead
of trying to listen to the doctor

265
00:20:26,240 –> 00:20:28,080
that is there to take my money,

266
00:20:28,979 –> 00:20:31,840
this is when I actually
started recovering.

267
00:20:31,850 –> 00:20:36,149
And I convinced my wife to
follow in those footsteps.

268
00:20:36,890 –> 00:20:43,860
And the moment I heard her tell her
doctor, No, I’m listening to my husband

269
00:20:44,249 –> 00:20:48,909
because it’s working, that blew me away.

270
00:20:48,939 –> 00:20:54,869
And I, I really saw, yes, this
is the way everyone should be

271
00:20:54,870 –> 00:20:57,120
approaching their own health.

272
00:20:57,579 –> 00:21:06,560
However, there, there are so many people
that are so weak in knowing themselves

273
00:21:07,634 –> 00:21:13,654
that they want somebody to tell them
how to live and maintain their life.

274
00:21:14,214 –> 00:21:15,684
That’s how I see that.

275
00:21:17,384 –> 00:21:17,924
Yeah.

276
00:21:17,924 –> 00:21:20,995
And, and the thing is, I
mean, that’s tradition.

277
00:21:20,995 –> 00:21:24,774
I mean, we’re working against
thousands and thousands of

278
00:21:24,774 –> 00:21:26,514
years of tradition here, Ed.

279
00:21:26,864 –> 00:21:31,474
I mean, you know, how many, how many,
how many thousands of years have

280
00:21:31,494 –> 00:21:33,974
people been going to a medical doctor?

281
00:21:34,124 –> 00:21:37,350
I mean, even in the
times of Jesus, you know?

282
00:21:37,350 –> 00:21:39,179
And I’m a very religious person.

283
00:21:39,189 –> 00:21:43,049
But I’ve read the bible, I
studied the bible several times.

284
00:21:43,459 –> 00:21:47,550
And you know what, what, and you
know, there’s examples in the bible

285
00:21:47,669 –> 00:21:53,080
of, you know, physicians putting
leeches on people’s skin to, to

286
00:21:53,139 –> 00:21:54,899
bring out the blood, you know?

287
00:21:55,070 –> 00:21:59,449
Like I said, The allopathic philosophy,
we need to drain that person’s blood

288
00:21:59,449 –> 00:22:01,209
because the disease is in the blood.

289
00:22:01,489 –> 00:22:06,475
No, the, the disease is that your body’s
not communicating well with yourself.

290
00:22:06,485 –> 00:22:09,574
And that’s, that’s why I
specialize in the upper neck.

291
00:22:09,584 –> 00:22:16,175
Because if you look at the anatomy and the
physiology of the body, okay, um, first of

292
00:22:16,175 –> 00:22:22,514
all, you know, if I could only adjust one
bone, if I was only allowed to adjust one

293
00:22:22,514 –> 00:22:25,504
bone in the spine, it would be the atlas.

294
00:22:25,554 –> 00:22:26,094
Why?

295
00:22:26,514 –> 00:22:29,965
Well, first of all, it
subluxates more than any other

296
00:22:29,965 –> 00:22:32,289
bone in the spine, bar none.

297
00:22:32,299 –> 00:22:35,649
There’s no disc above it or
below it to stabilize it.

298
00:22:35,649 –> 00:22:39,840
It holds up your head, which weighs
ten to fourteen pounds, you know?

299
00:22:39,849 –> 00:22:44,439
There’s going to be an atlanto,
what we call an atlanto-occipital

300
00:22:44,455 –> 00:22:45,759
misalignment, okay?

301
00:22:46,029 –> 00:22:50,429
The occiput, the base of your
skull, the atlas is right below it.

302
00:22:50,639 –> 00:22:53,149
And guess what that atlas protects?

303
00:22:53,359 –> 00:22:54,969
It protects your brainstem

304
00:22:55,439 –> 00:23:00,199
which is the switchboard operator
of all communication in the body.

305
00:23:00,449 –> 00:23:04,804
When the brain sends a message
to the body, okay, it has to

306
00:23:04,804 –> 00:23:06,174
pass through the brainstem.

307
00:23:06,685 –> 00:23:11,955
And the, and in our brainstem is
our cardiovascular, respiratory,

308
00:23:11,955 –> 00:23:16,495
digestive centers, all involuntary
muscle contraction is controlled

309
00:23:16,495 –> 00:23:17,644
in the medulla oblongata.

310
00:23:17,644 –> 00:23:21,884
So if you, if you’ve studied
physiology and you understand these

311
00:23:21,894 –> 00:23:26,294
things and you also understand the
anatomy, those are the two key, the

312
00:23:26,314 –> 00:23:29,144
two keys, anatomy and the physiology.

313
00:23:30,144 –> 00:23:34,304
You have to, you have to focus
in that area as a doctor because

314
00:23:34,304 –> 00:23:37,624
you’re going to have a more global
effect on that person’s health.

315
00:23:38,054 –> 00:23:41,675
And that’s, that’s what you have
to have because like I said,

316
00:23:41,935 –> 00:23:44,174
this body is very complicated,

317
00:23:44,174 –> 00:23:45,504
it’s very complex.

318
00:23:45,964 –> 00:23:51,334
The, that we have an infinite, think
of this, Ed, we have an infinite number

319
00:23:51,514 –> 00:23:57,399
of chemical reactions that are taking
place in our body every few moments.

320
00:23:58,179 –> 00:24:03,290
Now, we as human beings, we don’t
understand that term infinite.

321
00:24:03,709 –> 00:24:06,820
Because what that means is
without beginning and without end.

322
00:24:06,829 –> 00:24:10,149
That’s a number that we can’t comprehend.

323
00:24:10,589 –> 00:24:15,360
The only person or individual
that can comprehend that is God.

324
00:24:15,839 –> 00:24:18,950
And, you know, everybody
has their different God.

325
00:24:18,950 –> 00:24:21,330
I believe in the God from the Bible.

326
00:24:21,730 –> 00:24:28,625
Um, and that’s why I do chiropractic
because it’s the only, it’s the only

327
00:24:28,725 –> 00:24:35,104
profession that really has taught me
about that infinit, that, that innate

328
00:24:35,114 –> 00:24:38,894
intelligence that I already knew
about before I became a chiropractor.

329
00:24:38,894 –> 00:24:43,004
Because I studied the Bible and I
knew that the spirit that gives the

330
00:24:43,004 –> 00:24:47,334
body life, that gives this tissue
life, is what gives all of us life.

331
00:24:47,334 –> 00:24:53,319
I mean, as a doctor, I, I dissected
three cadavers in the lab, in my anatomy

332
00:24:53,319 –> 00:24:55,179
lab, when I was getting my doctorate.

333
00:24:55,389 –> 00:24:59,489
The only difference, Ed, between a
cadaver and you and I, or anybody

334
00:24:59,489 –> 00:25:01,110
else who’s alive is the spirit.

335
00:25:02,134 –> 00:25:05,764
And, and the spirit is the
innate intelligence of the body.

336
00:25:06,124 –> 00:25:10,694
And the infrared light that our body
emits, that this phototherapy patch

337
00:25:10,694 –> 00:25:15,084
that we were talking about earlier,
that is, you know, that’s our spirit.

338
00:25:15,094 –> 00:25:16,804
That’s what gives our body life.

339
00:25:17,104 –> 00:25:20,544
We would, we would not function
at all, nothing would function.

340
00:25:20,544 –> 00:25:24,135
We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t, we wouldn’t
be alive if it weren’t for that spirit.

341
00:25:24,245 –> 00:25:29,014
And chiropractic works with that
because that spirit is emanated

342
00:25:29,054 –> 00:25:30,344
through the nervous system.

343
00:25:30,474 –> 00:25:35,625
It’s the only system of our body that has
a connection with every cell in our body.

344
00:25:36,364 –> 00:25:38,324
Every cell, you know?

345
00:25:39,694 –> 00:25:40,384
Interesting.

346
00:25:40,694 –> 00:25:46,464
You know, you bring up the
Bible and that’s where my wife

347
00:25:46,464 –> 00:25:48,464
and I, we turn for inspiration.

348
00:25:49,034 –> 00:25:58,745
And when we went through all of this and
I had my grand epiphany, I actually turned

349
00:25:58,745 –> 00:26:07,935
to the Bible for that diet and cutting
out the pork and, you know, going, going

350
00:26:08,155 –> 00:26:18,764
to school about, why does this 2000 year
old book tell us about healthy eating?

351
00:26:20,219 –> 00:26:21,699
There’s a reason for that.

352
00:26:22,189 –> 00:26:29,639
And it’s, it’s told to us to
be clean with our system, our

353
00:26:29,800 –> 00:26:33,389
body which brings that balance.

354
00:26:33,899 –> 00:26:40,859
And, and a lot of people they get
very irate when you bring up religion.

355
00:26:41,139 –> 00:26:46,859
But I’ll tell you, I love talking about
religion and politics because they’re the

356
00:26:46,859 –> 00:26:53,769
driving forces in our world and so many
people get angry about the things that you

357
00:26:53,769 –> 00:26:58,519
can control, that’s where it really lies.

358
00:26:58,589 –> 00:27:04,439
And if, if you don’t put your
mind in the right space and take

359
00:27:04,519 –> 00:27:09,759
charge of that space, well, you
can see what happens to our world.

360
00:27:10,330 –> 00:27:15,610
The Bible, Basic Instructions
Before Leaving Earth, I

361
00:27:15,610 –> 00:27:17,229
believe that a hundred percent.

362
00:27:17,319 –> 00:27:20,939
And I’ve always been sort of religious.

363
00:27:21,634 –> 00:27:31,394
But in the last, since 2017, 2017,
I’ve really gotten serious about

364
00:27:31,594 –> 00:27:37,474
things because this is where you’re
going to find out who you truly are.

365
00:27:39,034 –> 00:27:39,644
That’s correct.

366
00:27:39,674 –> 00:27:43,864
And you know, I’m, it’s so great
that you mentioned that because I’m

367
00:27:43,864 –> 00:27:49,805
actually writing my autobiography
right now and I’ve, I’ve entitled

368
00:27:49,824 –> 00:27:52,839
it God, Health, and Relationships.

369
00:27:53,189 –> 00:27:58,599
Because I’m fifty- five years
old, um, I’ve lived a very

370
00:27:58,599 –> 00:28:01,479
full life, very full life, Ed.

371
00:28:01,519 –> 00:28:05,769
Um, I, I’ve been married,
I have five children, I’ve

372
00:28:05,769 –> 00:28:07,479
been divorced for six years.

373
00:28:07,769 –> 00:28:13,449
I’ve lived in foreign countries,
um, I, you know, I’m a doctor, I’m

374
00:28:13,449 –> 00:28:18,809
educated, uh, uh, but, you know, and I
come from a very dysfunctional family.

375
00:28:19,079 –> 00:28:23,399
So the most that I’ve learned in
my life, in my fifty-five year old

376
00:28:23,409 –> 00:28:28,979
life is, the most I know about is,
God, health, and relationships.

377
00:28:29,019 –> 00:28:32,479
And so that’s what I’ve
entitled my autobiography.

378
00:28:32,479 –> 00:28:35,884
I hope to finish it,
um, next year sometime.

379
00:28:36,224 –> 00:28:41,714
Um, and it’s just a chronological, uh,
depiction of my life and what I’ve learned

380
00:28:41,714 –> 00:28:44,004
and things like you just mentioned.

381
00:28:44,014 –> 00:28:48,284
You know, you learned how to
eat clean from the Bible, okay?

382
00:28:48,284 –> 00:28:51,744
Well, I’ve been taught that stuff
my whole life, you didn’t, you know,

383
00:28:51,774 –> 00:28:53,744
you, you learned it later in life.

384
00:28:53,745 –> 00:28:58,634
I learned it very early in life, and I’ve
been, uh, implementing it in my life, my

385
00:28:58,634 –> 00:29:01,254
entire life and it served me very well.

386
00:29:01,294 –> 00:29:04,824
I mean, I, I am optimally healthy.

387
00:29:05,274 –> 00:29:09,154
Um, I feel that I have great
balance physically, mentally,

388
00:29:09,154 –> 00:29:11,044
emotionally, spiritually.

389
00:29:11,044 –> 00:29:15,645
The only thing I lack is the
financial, but that was, that was

390
00:29:15,645 –> 00:29:19,644
the burden that, you know, that was
kind of like the Achilles heel for

391
00:29:19,655 –> 00:29:22,615
me that the Lord was testing me.

392
00:29:22,645 –> 00:29:26,129
And the purpose of this
life, it’s a test, okay?

393
00:29:26,129 –> 00:29:31,899
The reason we’re here on this
planet is to be tested, um, to see

394
00:29:31,899 –> 00:29:38,769
how well we obey what our Father,
our Creator, um, has, you know?

395
00:29:38,889 –> 00:29:43,989
What He, what He knows, He, see, He
knows what’s best for us, you know?

396
00:29:43,989 –> 00:29:47,320
And this is something that I’ve,
like, like, like I said, I’ve been

397
00:29:47,330 –> 00:29:50,300
taught since birth, fortunately.

398
00:29:50,300 –> 00:29:52,310
Not everybody has that fortune.

399
00:29:52,720 –> 00:29:58,030
Um, but when I was nineteen years
old, okay, I served a two year

400
00:29:58,030 –> 00:30:00,280
mission for my church in Costa Rica.

401
00:30:00,660 –> 00:30:06,690
And for two years straight, twelve
hours a day, seven days a week, 365

402
00:30:06,700 –> 00:30:13,160
days a year for two years, that’s
all I did was teach these things

403
00:30:13,595 –> 00:30:16,295
to the inhabitants of Costa Rica.

404
00:30:16,775 –> 00:30:22,835
Um, and it was the most fulfilling,
groundbreaking, life changing

405
00:30:22,835 –> 00:30:25,274
experience at the age of nineteen.

406
00:30:25,565 –> 00:30:31,005
So imagine, imagine graduating from
high school and, and, and, and going

407
00:30:31,005 –> 00:30:36,094
to a foreign country where you’re not
working, you’re not studying, you can’t

408
00:30:36,094 –> 00:30:40,325
have a girlfriend, you’re not making
any money, you’re just dedicating,

409
00:30:40,325 –> 00:30:46,095
you’re sacrificing, twenty-four hours
a day, all your time to your Creator.

410
00:30:48,025 –> 00:30:49,615
There’s nothing like it, Ed.

411
00:30:49,625 –> 00:30:53,725
And it changed my life and it
actually, that’s the reason why I

412
00:30:53,734 –> 00:30:57,764
got a bachelor’s degree in Spanish,
that’s the reason why I got a doctorate

413
00:30:57,765 –> 00:31:02,604
in chiropractic, and that’s exactly
why I’m doing what I’m doing today.

414
00:31:02,945 –> 00:31:04,765
Because what does the Bible say?

415
00:31:04,785 –> 00:31:08,155
What does, what does Christ
leave His disciples with

416
00:31:08,355 –> 00:31:09,885
right before He’s crucified?

417
00:31:10,480 –> 00:31:11,740
Love one another.

418
00:31:12,250 –> 00:31:15,600
I give you a new commandment,
love one another.

419
00:31:16,170 –> 00:31:18,720
Are we doing that in society today?

420
00:31:19,660 –> 00:31:22,150
No, we are not loving one another.

421
00:31:22,430 –> 00:31:27,899
The way that I love my neighbor, because
the two greatest commandments are this,

422
00:31:27,979 –> 00:31:31,830
love God with all your heart, mind,
and strength and love your neighbor.

423
00:31:32,730 –> 00:31:37,320
That, what that does is that
encapulates, okay, the Ten

424
00:31:37,320 –> 00:31:39,040
Commandments from the Old Testament.

425
00:31:39,250 –> 00:31:44,020
If you look at the Ten Commandments that
Moses was given in the Old Testament,

426
00:31:44,249 –> 00:31:46,760
the first three are about loving God.

427
00:31:47,039 –> 00:31:49,889
The last seven are about
loving your neighbor.

428
00:31:50,259 –> 00:31:56,225
So when Christ came to fulfill the
Mosaic Law, The law of Moses, in the

429
00:31:56,225 –> 00:32:01,145
New Testament, he simplified it for us
because he knew that, you know, in our

430
00:32:01,145 –> 00:32:03,065
day, things were going to be complicated

431
00:32:03,065 –> 00:32:05,945
and we as human beings
love to complicate things.

432
00:32:06,015 –> 00:32:06,945
Let’s keep it simple.

433
00:32:07,565 –> 00:32:12,010
Love me, the way you love me
is obeying my commandments.

434
00:32:12,260 –> 00:32:15,660
That’s, that’s how you as
a human being love God.

435
00:32:15,670 –> 00:32:20,630
That’s how you show your love for God is
by keeping what he has commanded us to do.

436
00:32:20,989 –> 00:32:24,690
And then, oh, by the way,
love your fellow man, okay?

437
00:32:25,070 –> 00:32:27,290
I do that by being a doctor.

438
00:32:27,620 –> 00:32:32,700
I do that, and I try to do that, Ed,
in every interaction I have, whether

439
00:32:32,700 –> 00:32:37,570
it’s with my patients or, or a, or
a homeless person on the street.

440
00:32:38,019 –> 00:32:43,520
I am loving my neighbor 24/7, or
trying to, every opportunity I have.

441
00:32:44,680 –> 00:32:44,960
Yep.

442
00:32:45,510 –> 00:32:51,500
You know, and, and to just add to
that, I, I always, when I’m dealing

443
00:32:51,500 –> 00:32:57,580
with things like that, and some
people are very difficult to love.

444
00:32:58,020 –> 00:32:59,260
You know, let’s be honest.

445
00:32:59,770 –> 00:33:05,109
But when I’m dealing with people
and forces like that, I always take

446
00:33:05,109 –> 00:33:08,000
it right back to the cross itself.

447
00:33:08,330 –> 00:33:19,539
And, you know, it really highlights
that He died for us, He cares about us.

448
00:33:19,850 –> 00:33:27,600
And some of the last bits of wisdom
that he departed to us is, forgive them

449
00:33:27,620 –> 00:33:30,370
father for they know not what they do.

450
00:33:30,880 –> 00:33:39,795
And it is so relieving when you live by
that because it really teaches you to be

451
00:33:39,795 –> 00:33:42,455
more empathetic towards your fellow man.

452
00:33:43,415 –> 00:33:44,245
Absolutely.

453
00:33:44,245 –> 00:33:51,735
And you know, the law of Moses was created
to basically, um, prepare Israel, you

454
00:33:51,735 –> 00:33:58,095
know, the people of God, to prepare Israel
for the Savior, Jesus Christ, you know?

455
00:33:58,095 –> 00:34:01,585
And then when He came, they
didn’t even recognize Him.

456
00:34:01,615 –> 00:34:07,415
I mean, He was rejected by all the leaders
of the Jewish nation, you know, the

457
00:34:07,415 –> 00:34:09,335
Pharisees, the Sadducees, and all that.

458
00:34:09,655 –> 00:34:13,495
But, you know, if you look at His
teachings and His three year ministry,

459
00:34:13,935 –> 00:34:18,515
one of the things He says on the Sermon
on the Mount is, love your enemies.

460
00:34:18,845 –> 00:34:22,684
So, you know, if you look at it this
way, and this is what my, my church

461
00:34:22,685 –> 00:34:27,245
has taught me is, that you, you have
the letter of the law and then you

462
00:34:27,255 –> 00:34:29,820
have the spirit of the law, okay?

463
00:34:30,130 –> 00:34:34,070
The letter of the law is
the law of Moses, okay?

464
00:34:34,410 –> 00:34:36,010
And why was that law given?

465
00:34:36,020 –> 00:34:41,520
Because this was a very rebellious people,
they, they, they weren’t, you know, they

466
00:34:41,520 –> 00:34:45,869
were unbelieving, they were, you know,
they, they weren’t, they weren’t people

467
00:34:45,869 –> 00:34:48,089
of gratitude for their blessing, you know?

468
00:34:48,130 –> 00:34:52,300
I mean, they were very stiff necked, you
know, you hear that term in Scripture.

469
00:34:52,460 –> 00:34:56,450
They’re a very stiff necked person,
which means a prideful person.

470
00:34:56,460 –> 00:35:00,105
A prideful person is not teachable, okay?

471
00:35:00,405 –> 00:35:03,765
And what did, what did, uh,
Christ say to the Pharisees?

472
00:35:04,045 –> 00:35:06,435
You know, Oh, you hypocrites, you know?

473
00:35:07,405 –> 00:35:08,785
You know, you’re prideful people.

474
00:35:09,085 –> 00:35:14,135
Um, and so that, that letter of the law
is, okay, you need to wash your cup a

475
00:35:14,135 –> 00:35:18,764
certain way, you can’t, you can’t take
more than these steps on the Sabbath day.

476
00:35:18,765 –> 00:35:25,230
Where, you know, all these things were,
all these rules were to basically help

477
00:35:25,600 –> 00:35:31,190
the, them, be, uh, be ready for the
spirit of the law, which is what Christ

478
00:35:31,200 –> 00:35:35,419
taught on the Sermon on the Mount,
when He said, you know, You’ve heard

479
00:35:35,419 –> 00:35:41,210
it written in the law, you know, um,
an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

480
00:35:41,219 –> 00:35:41,950
You remember this?

481
00:35:41,979 –> 00:35:42,269
Okay?

482
00:35:42,539 –> 00:35:47,599
You, that, that was the law of Moses, an
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, okay?

483
00:35:47,649 –> 00:35:53,080
But I teach you a higher law,
to love your, your enemy, okay?

484
00:35:53,650 –> 00:35:56,430
To love your enemy, that’s hard to do.

485
00:35:56,570 –> 00:35:58,650
And I think that’s what
you were referring to.

486
00:35:59,040 –> 00:36:03,910
Um, you know, there, there’s, there’s
people very difficult to love.

487
00:36:04,210 –> 00:36:09,099
But here’s the thing, it goes back, and
my favorite, by the way, my favorite

488
00:36:09,100 –> 00:36:15,490
chapter in all of Scripture, and,
and I don’t just use, The Bible, um,

489
00:36:15,640 –> 00:36:20,910
I’m LDS, so I use other scripture as
well, but all the scriptures that I

490
00:36:20,910 –> 00:36:26,470
have ever read, my favorite chapter,
my favorite chapter in all the

491
00:36:26,470 –> 00:36:28,709
scripture is Matthew chapter seven.

492
00:36:29,540 –> 00:36:34,090
And if you look at Matthew chapter
seven, and I would encourage your

493
00:36:34,090 –> 00:36:38,710
listeners to go back and read and study
and meditate about Matthew chapter

494
00:36:38,710 –> 00:36:41,605
seven, that is a guidebook, okay?

495
00:36:41,745 –> 00:36:45,915
That chapter is a guide
for life right there.

496
00:36:45,935 –> 00:36:50,785
I mean, Christ is the best life
coach you’re ever going to have.

497
00:36:51,135 –> 00:36:56,095
And in that chapter, chapter seven
of Matthew, He lays it down in

498
00:36:56,095 –> 00:36:57,845
just a couple, you know, what?

499
00:36:57,845 –> 00:36:59,844
twenty-five verses, you know?

500
00:37:00,215 –> 00:37:04,025
If you do these things, you’re,
you’re going to be ready for my,

501
00:37:04,055 –> 00:37:07,505
when I come again, or you’re going
to be ready for the second coming.

502
00:37:07,505 –> 00:37:12,395
Which, you know, um, followers of Christ,
that’s what we’re waiting for right now.

503
00:37:12,665 –> 00:37:18,364
We’re waiting for Him to come and end
this reign of Satan because we, we know

504
00:37:18,364 –> 00:37:21,005
that Satan reigns on the earth today,

505
00:37:21,245 –> 00:37:21,715
okay?

506
00:37:21,715 –> 00:37:25,455
He’s all about power, he’s
all about money, okay?

507
00:37:25,455 –> 00:37:30,320
But none of those things are important
to God and Jesus Christ, okay?

508
00:37:30,780 –> 00:37:33,780
Um, none of those things, okay?

509
00:37:34,190 –> 00:37:35,980
Uh, you know, we’re given our freedom.

510
00:37:35,980 –> 00:37:40,900
We’re given, we, we came here
with free agency to choose

511
00:37:41,149 –> 00:37:42,529
whatever we want to choose.

512
00:37:42,529 –> 00:37:46,589
But that’s, that’s the test is
that so many people are making bad

513
00:37:46,590 –> 00:37:51,500
choices and, and their lives aren’t
as happy or joyful because of it.

514
00:37:51,740 –> 00:37:57,540
Whether it’s taking medications or,
you know, or, or smoking or, you know,

515
00:37:57,830 –> 00:38:01,510
uh, having sex or, you know, with, with
people that they shouldn’t, you know?

516
00:38:01,540 –> 00:38:07,260
All these things are, you know, God tries
to protect us with the commandments.

517
00:38:07,270 –> 00:38:09,620
It’s not, it’s not to
take away our freedom.

518
00:38:09,620 –> 00:38:13,100
It’s actually to give us more
freedom and to be happier.

519
00:38:13,100 –> 00:38:15,450
Because how, how free are you, Ed?

520
00:38:15,755 –> 00:38:20,005
If you’re lying in, in, you know,
if you’re in a hospital and you

521
00:38:20,005 –> 00:38:24,504
can’t breathe because you smoked
cigarettes your whole life and you

522
00:38:24,504 –> 00:38:25,965
have cancer or something like that.

523
00:38:26,135 –> 00:38:29,035
How free is somebody with health problems.

524
00:38:29,565 –> 00:38:32,655
You know, but, but thou shall
not do these things, you know?

525
00:38:32,904 –> 00:38:36,635
Um, and we can, we could talk for
days on this stuff, but, you know?

526
00:38:36,835 –> 00:38:41,930
It’s just, if you just remember
those two things, love God, love your

527
00:38:41,930 –> 00:38:44,150
neighbor, that’s religion in a nutshell.

528
00:38:44,150 –> 00:38:45,710
You don’t even have to go to church.

529
00:38:45,870 –> 00:38:48,059
You know, if you’re doing
those things, then you’re

530
00:38:48,059 –> 00:38:49,440
doing what God wants you to do.

531
00:38:49,440 –> 00:38:51,950
Um, so anyway.

532
00:38:54,980 –> 00:38:55,340
Yeah.

533
00:38:55,570 –> 00:38:59,180
Well, well, you know,
it’s a good talk to have.

534
00:38:59,320 –> 00:39:04,019
Discovering these principles
can really turn a life around.

535
00:39:04,370 –> 00:39:09,970
And, you know, I, I don’t dish on
anybody for where they are in life.

536
00:39:10,200 –> 00:39:15,180
I really want them to
meet me where they are.

537
00:39:15,560 –> 00:39:21,220
And this is what I’m here for,
you know, I’m not here to judge.

538
00:39:22,170 –> 00:39:27,899
You know, judge not lest ye be
judged, you know, and I’m so

539
00:39:28,489 –> 00:39:30,180
terrified of that right there.

540
00:39:30,640 –> 00:39:32,609
And I, I really depend

541
00:39:34,160 –> 00:39:36,500
Well, that, that’s, that’s chapter seven.

542
00:39:36,890 –> 00:39:38,470
That’s Matthew chapter seven.

543
00:39:38,470 –> 00:39:43,500
That’s how it, that’s how it begins,
judge not lest you be judged, okay?

544
00:39:43,700 –> 00:39:48,070
And, and the interesting thing about,
yeah, and the interesting thing about

545
00:39:48,070 –> 00:39:53,280
that verse is that, um, really us
as human beings, it’s, it’s, it’s

546
00:39:53,360 –> 00:39:55,770
impossible for us not to judge.

547
00:39:55,820 –> 00:39:57,340
I mean, think of it.

548
00:39:57,480 –> 00:40:03,030
When you see it, when you see a person
for, for, for the first time, you’re, you,

549
00:40:03,030 –> 00:40:05,460
you make a, a split judgment right there.

550
00:40:05,630 –> 00:40:08,420
That person’s beautiful, that
person’s ugly, that person’s

551
00:40:08,420 –> 00:40:10,090
skinny, that person’s fat.

552
00:40:10,590 –> 00:40:12,530
It’s impossible not to judge.

553
00:40:12,559 –> 00:40:17,709
What Christ is talking about
in Matthew seven is that, He’s,

554
00:40:17,720 –> 00:40:23,700
He’s, what He’s saying to us is
we shouldn’t judge unrighteously.

555
00:40:23,750 –> 00:40:31,880
Which means, and what that actually means
is that if you’re gonna judge, okay?

556
00:40:31,920 –> 00:40:36,450
And, and, and I heard a, I heard
a statement one time that was just

557
00:40:36,470 –> 00:40:39,170
profound, that has always stayed with me.

558
00:40:39,170 –> 00:40:44,689
And it was one of the leaders in my church
said this, he said, he said, Be slow to

559
00:40:44,689 –> 00:40:49,135
judge, quick to seek understanding, okay?

560
00:40:49,555 –> 00:40:53,795
And, and, and that’s, that’s really
what Christ is saying in Matthew

561
00:40:53,795 –> 00:40:57,304
chapter seven, because Christ
knows that we’re gonna judge.

562
00:40:57,755 –> 00:41:01,724
That we, that we, we’re gonna fall
short when it comes to that commandment.

563
00:41:01,995 –> 00:41:06,015
What He encourages us to do
is to seek understanding.

564
00:41:06,044 –> 00:41:08,104
Well, how do you seek understanding?

565
00:41:08,820 –> 00:41:11,810
The way you seek understanding,
Ed, is exactly what you

566
00:41:11,810 –> 00:41:13,360
and I are doing right now.

567
00:41:13,620 –> 00:41:18,579
We’re having an open, honest
communication about what’s in our

568
00:41:18,580 –> 00:41:20,980
hearts and what’s in our minds.

569
00:41:21,510 –> 00:41:23,809
That’s how you get to know somebody.

570
00:41:24,099 –> 00:41:28,299
And then once you know them,
you shouldn’t judge them.

571
00:41:28,309 –> 00:41:33,020
Because the only person who
knows us fully, all of us,

572
00:41:33,060 –> 00:41:35,580
to our core, is Jesus Christ.

573
00:41:36,065 –> 00:41:38,185
And He’s the one that’s going to judge us.

574
00:41:38,485 –> 00:41:42,175
What we do is we’ve been commanded
to love each other, no matter what.

575
00:41:42,565 –> 00:41:43,145
Okay?

576
00:41:44,785 –> 00:41:48,284
You know, but how can you love
somebody that you don’t know?

577
00:41:48,625 –> 00:41:51,254
How can you love even God
if you don’t know Him?

578
00:41:51,264 –> 00:41:52,395
How do you get to know Him?

579
00:41:52,664 –> 00:41:54,125
By reading His words.

580
00:41:54,354 –> 00:42:00,130
The words that He’s, that, that He’s
revealed to His prophets and His apostles.

581
00:42:00,180 –> 00:42:02,750
That’s how you get to know God, okay?

582
00:42:03,140 –> 00:42:06,100
And once you know Him, you’re
going to love Him so much more.

583
00:42:06,359 –> 00:42:07,820
I, I’m a testament to that.

584
00:42:08,080 –> 00:42:10,910
I, I am in, so in love with God.

585
00:42:11,109 –> 00:42:16,000
I love God more than even
my own children, okay?

586
00:42:16,230 –> 00:42:19,480
Because I know Him so well, okay?

587
00:42:19,700 –> 00:42:23,860
But it’s the same for us as human beings,
the better we know each other through

588
00:42:23,900 –> 00:42:29,240
open honest communication and sharing our
true feelings and not lying to each other,

589
00:42:29,640 –> 00:42:32,220
we’re gonna love each other much more.

590
00:42:32,220 –> 00:42:33,380
That’s, that’s the key.

591
00:42:34,149 –> 00:42:37,230
That’s the key to creating
more love in our society.

592
00:42:39,869 –> 00:42:45,860
You know, and I, I really like
that you highlighted the same thing

593
00:42:45,860 –> 00:42:53,315
that Abraham went through when
he was asked to sacrifice Isaac.

594
00:42:53,905 –> 00:42:59,575
And you know, it’s very interesting,
I have that same mentality.

595
00:42:59,735 –> 00:43:07,430
I tell my wife I love God
first and then you, you know?

596
00:43:07,430 –> 00:43:10,790
And that’s not, that’s not a bad thing.

597
00:43:11,110 –> 00:43:19,670
And, and I tell her, yes, I tell
her you must have the same mindset.

598
00:43:20,555 –> 00:43:26,945
Don’t love me before Christ, because
you are messing up when you do that.

599
00:43:27,645 –> 00:43:36,235
And, and, that really is a, a strong thing
when you put that in your relationship.

600
00:43:38,375 –> 00:43:41,954
And see, my ex wife did
not understand that, Ed.

601
00:43:42,474 –> 00:43:46,905
And, and that was a big
reason why I divorced her.

602
00:43:47,105 –> 00:43:53,180
Um, and unfortunately, she
has treated me like an enemy.

603
00:43:53,210 –> 00:43:55,980
But really I love, I love her.

604
00:43:56,410 –> 00:44:00,849
She is the mother of my five
beautiful healthy children that

605
00:44:00,849 –> 00:44:03,450
I love more than anything, okay?

606
00:44:03,990 –> 00:44:11,450
Um, but, but, but she felt, she
felt like I didn’t love her anymore

607
00:44:11,460 –> 00:44:13,679
when really she didn’t understand.

608
00:44:14,220 –> 00:44:19,560
And the reason she didn’t understand is
because she wasn’t a good communicator.

609
00:44:19,570 –> 00:44:24,089
She didn’t love God more than me or life.

610
00:44:24,090 –> 00:44:29,430
And I love the analogy that you give
about Abraham and Isaac, because

611
00:44:29,440 –> 00:44:36,805
that, that was a precursor for what
God did, you know, with Jesus, with

612
00:44:37,075 –> 00:44:41,585
His, His, His, yeah, yeah, with
His son, Jesus Christ, you know?

613
00:44:41,585 –> 00:44:44,885
That, that was a foreshadowing
of what was to come.

614
00:44:44,905 –> 00:44:49,415
And it was a lesson for Abraham,
and it was a test for Abraham.

615
00:44:49,554 –> 00:44:52,115
And Abraham, he passed that test.

616
00:44:52,125 –> 00:44:56,894
That’s a, that’s a great faith
building story from the Old Testament.

617
00:44:57,184 –> 00:45:01,365
And by the way, every, every
story, everything that we read

618
00:45:01,715 –> 00:45:04,750
in the Old Testament, it’s
all about building our faith.

619
00:45:05,040 –> 00:45:09,290
Which is a belief in something
that is true, that is not seen.

620
00:45:09,990 –> 00:45:11,740
How do we know what is true?

621
00:45:12,360 –> 00:45:14,830
We know what is true
through the Holy Ghost.

622
00:45:15,130 –> 00:45:19,649
Well, we know the Holy Ghost is a third
member of the Godhead, the Trinity.

623
00:45:19,949 –> 00:45:23,450
You got God the Father, the Son
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.

624
00:45:24,170 –> 00:45:29,930
Every, we’ve been given everything we
need to, to be able to return to our

625
00:45:29,930 –> 00:45:32,680
Heavenly Father at the end of this life.

626
00:45:32,730 –> 00:45:36,340
And as a Christian, I’m
sure you believe, um, in the

627
00:45:36,340 –> 00:45:38,410
resurrection and life after this.

628
00:45:38,689 –> 00:45:41,110
And that’s what this
life is preparation for.

629
00:45:41,110 –> 00:45:44,610
It’s, it’s really the test to
know where we’re, are we going to

630
00:45:44,620 –> 00:45:47,590
be able to, are we going to live
with God after this life or not?

631
00:45:48,190 –> 00:45:51,640
You know, because that’s going to be the,
that’s the greatest gift that He can give

632
00:45:51,640 –> 00:45:54,230
to us is eternal life, living with Him.

633
00:45:54,740 –> 00:45:57,680
It’s only possible through Jesus Christ.

634
00:45:57,830 –> 00:46:03,770
If Jesus Christ had not suffered for our
sins and overcame spiritual and physical

635
00:46:03,780 –> 00:46:09,110
death on the, on the cross, um, then,
then it wouldn’t have been possible.

636
00:46:09,290 –> 00:46:10,600
But it is possible.

637
00:46:10,770 –> 00:46:14,360
And like I said, we were given
everything we need and, and

638
00:46:14,360 –> 00:46:15,770
that’s what’s most important.

639
00:46:15,850 –> 00:46:20,420
If people realize that this
life is temporary, that it’s in

640
00:46:20,420 –> 00:46:24,415
preparation for, um, infinity.

641
00:46:24,445 –> 00:46:28,085
Which is after this life,
which is going to last forever.

642
00:46:28,145 –> 00:46:33,385
I mean, this life is only a millisecond
in the big scheme of things.

643
00:46:33,595 –> 00:46:36,814
Um, and, and that’s, that’s
what we’re preparing for.

644
00:46:36,814 –> 00:46:40,034
And, and it’s sad that we
don’t see that, you know?

645
00:46:40,034 –> 00:46:43,814
You don’t, uh, in our country,
we’re not, we’re, we’re more

646
00:46:43,814 –> 00:46:47,494
focused on like making money.

647
00:46:47,494 –> 00:46:49,774
And, you know, it’s just, it’s sad.

648
00:46:49,854 –> 00:46:51,234
It’s, it’s sad, you know?

649
00:46:51,614 –> 00:46:55,054
The, the state that we
find ourselves in, yeah.

650
00:46:55,234 –> 00:47:01,915
You know, David, I myself,
I’m about to turn fifty-nine.

651
00:47:02,565 –> 00:47:09,865
And in one week, I have been married to
my beautiful wife for thirty-nine years.

652
00:47:10,435 –> 00:47:12,975
And that is difficult.

653
00:47:13,475 –> 00:47:17,725
And, and it’s something
I am, I’m proud of.

654
00:47:19,320 –> 00:47:20,150
And, and

655
00:47:20,890 –> 00:47:22,160
That is not easy.

656
00:47:22,270 –> 00:47:22,560
Wow.

657
00:47:22,660 –> 00:47:23,070
I,

658
00:47:25,920 –> 00:47:27,010
I salute you.

659
00:47:27,060 –> 00:47:31,530
I, I mean, yeah, that is, that is awesome.

660
00:47:32,980 –> 00:47:37,020
Really, it’s one of those
things about what we talked

661
00:47:37,020 –> 00:47:39,030
about earlier, communicating.

662
00:47:40,249 –> 00:47:46,870
This is when I found the most bliss
out of my relationship is when I

663
00:47:47,155 –> 00:47:53,555
truly turned it over to God and said,
I will no longer lie to my wife.

664
00:47:53,895 –> 00:47:56,085
I will tell my wife how it is.

665
00:47:56,674 –> 00:47:58,395
You know, this is how it is.

666
00:47:58,424 –> 00:48:03,764
And it’s up to both of us to
change it if we want it to change.

667
00:48:04,384 –> 00:48:10,195
But, you know, and putting those orders
into your life, your relationship,

668
00:48:10,645 –> 00:48:16,470
no matter where you are, it is
possible to find that fulfillment.

669
00:48:16,780 –> 00:48:20,230
And it really does start
with the higher power.

670
00:48:20,810 –> 00:48:26,989
And if you don’t find that higher power,
I really do believe that you’re stumbling

671
00:48:26,990 –> 00:48:30,290
in the darkness and you’re kind of lost.

672
00:48:36,280 –> 00:48:36,609
Yeah.

673
00:48:36,609 –> 00:48:44,090
So, you know, what, what we do here,
podcasting, this conversation, we

674
00:48:44,100 –> 00:48:48,095
actually encourage and enlighten people.

675
00:48:48,835 –> 00:48:55,765
Because so many of these young people
today are so fearful to stand up and say,

676
00:48:56,275 –> 00:49:01,264
I believe in Christ and that is dangerous.

677
00:49:01,505 –> 00:49:08,435
And we, we are on the verge
of something incredible in our

678
00:49:09,075 –> 00:49:12,305
whole life, our whole existence.

679
00:49:12,945 –> 00:49:18,845
And I really feel that we’re
close to these days of the end

680
00:49:18,855 –> 00:49:21,405
that we’ve been waiting for.

681
00:49:21,845 –> 00:49:27,895
And if you are watching and you are
paying attention to what is happening

682
00:49:27,905 –> 00:49:36,250
in our whole world today, we are right
on the verge of an anticipated return

683
00:49:36,850 –> 00:49:39,200
that many people laugh at today.

684
00:49:41,900 –> 00:49:43,119
That’s correct, Ed.

685
00:49:43,599 –> 00:49:50,450
And I, I, I don’t, I believe that you
believe in personal revelation based,

686
00:49:50,460 –> 00:49:54,699
just based on what you’ve been telling
me about your personal life, Ed.

687
00:49:55,109 –> 00:50:04,990
Um, I know that you know that you, as a
son of your creator and of God, that He

688
00:50:04,990 –> 00:50:06,820
wants to guide you through this life.

689
00:50:06,820 –> 00:50:11,390
He knows that this life is difficult
and that there would be stumbling

690
00:50:11,390 –> 00:50:16,120
blocks constantly, but that’s
why He’s given us the Holy Ghost.

691
00:50:16,170 –> 00:50:21,200
That’s, that’s why the Holy Ghost is
the third member of the, the Godhead.

692
00:50:21,200 –> 00:50:25,629
And like I said, that, that is
the only way to discern between

693
00:50:26,210 –> 00:50:29,510
truth and error is the Holy Ghost.

694
00:50:29,750 –> 00:50:34,590
Um, and there’s so many voices out
there, and there’s so many lies, and

695
00:50:34,590 –> 00:50:37,390
there’s so many, you know, deception.

696
00:50:37,390 –> 00:50:39,950
I mean, Satan is the master of deception.

697
00:50:40,219 –> 00:50:41,879
The scriptures teach us that.

698
00:50:42,260 –> 00:50:49,920
And, um, so, you know, I really
believe in personal revelation.

699
00:50:49,970 –> 00:50:56,635
And just in the last three years,
Ed, um, the Lord has, has revealed

700
00:50:56,645 –> 00:51:01,335
to me personally some, some very
sacred things and, and some things

701
00:51:01,335 –> 00:51:04,525
that, um, I knew came from Him.

702
00:51:04,975 –> 00:51:10,175
Because the Holy Ghost, because the
Holy Ghost verified that it was truth

703
00:51:10,194 –> 00:51:16,864
coming, that it wasn’t like society,
or Satan, or, you know, the internet,

704
00:51:16,864 –> 00:51:21,925
or what, no, that this was truth
and it was true for me personally

705
00:51:22,135 –> 00:51:25,005
to help me get through this life

706
00:51:25,365 –> 00:51:28,015
and, and, and get to the end.

707
00:51:28,025 –> 00:51:33,005
Which I agree with you, I, I really
believe it’s going to happen really

708
00:51:33,005 –> 00:51:35,195
within the next thirty or forty years.

709
00:51:35,195 –> 00:51:37,535
I believe christ will,
will be here for sure.

710
00:51:38,125 –> 00:51:42,915
And I also believe that I’m, and,
and I believe I’m going to be alive

711
00:51:42,925 –> 00:51:47,665
for it and that, and that I’m going
to be in his army, um, during the

712
00:51:47,665 –> 00:51:52,435
millennium, which is that thousand
years that is talked about in the

713
00:51:52,435 –> 00:51:55,055
scriptures in which satan will be bound.

714
00:51:56,715 –> 00:52:01,055
And, you know, for many people,
you know, politics is Satan.

715
00:52:01,055 –> 00:52:02,905
I mean, there’ve been
movies made about it.

716
00:52:03,105 –> 00:52:04,175
The Omen, you know?

717
00:52:04,655 –> 00:52:07,475
You know, these great classic
movies that were right.

718
00:52:07,745 –> 00:52:08,935
Yeah, Damien, you know?

719
00:52:09,165 –> 00:52:14,134
Um, you know, but that’s, it’s
what we’re going to have is, we’re

720
00:52:14,134 –> 00:52:17,584
going to have a united world, okay?

721
00:52:17,585 –> 00:52:20,205
Satan’s going to be bound, okay?

722
00:52:21,075 –> 00:52:23,395
Um, we’re going to have a united world

723
00:52:23,760 –> 00:52:26,660
and Christ is going to be the king.

724
00:52:26,670 –> 00:52:28,230
He’s going to be the ruler.

725
00:52:28,320 –> 00:52:33,440
He’s going to be the leader for those
thousands, for that thousand years.

726
00:52:33,559 –> 00:52:35,000
And what are we going to be doing?

727
00:52:35,040 –> 00:52:36,820
We’re going to be doing His work.

728
00:52:37,399 –> 00:52:38,850
What is His work?

729
00:52:38,915 –> 00:52:45,525
Malachi four, four through six, the
last verses of the Old Testament

730
00:52:46,115 –> 00:52:52,515
teaches us, okay, it, it, it warns
us, it, it, it, it says this is what

731
00:52:53,045 –> 00:52:57,635
we need to be doing or we’re going to
be utterly destroyed at His coming.

732
00:52:57,894 –> 00:53:01,315
And that is turning the hearts
of the Father to the children

733
00:53:01,335 –> 00:53:02,795
and the children to the Father.

734
00:53:03,745 –> 00:53:06,645
That’s relationship,
that’s loving each other.

735
00:53:07,130 –> 00:53:11,480
That’s, that’s, that’s obeying
the commandments, that’s doing,

736
00:53:11,970 –> 00:53:13,760
okay, the will of the Lord.

737
00:53:13,770 –> 00:53:19,310
And, and each one of us is responsible
to find out what the will of the

738
00:53:19,310 –> 00:53:21,940
Lord for their personal lives are.

739
00:53:22,650 –> 00:53:26,475
I, I did it way back in December of 2018.

740
00:53:26,475 –> 00:53:32,830
And like I said, um, you know, I,
I’ve been, I’ve been, uh, a faithful

741
00:53:32,840 –> 00:53:37,350
member of my church and, and living the
gospel of Jesus Christ my whole life.

742
00:53:37,620 –> 00:53:38,950
But guess what, Ed?

743
00:53:39,050 –> 00:53:43,340
Things were not going as planned, and
I had a really good plan, you know?

744
00:53:43,540 –> 00:53:50,580
I was a doctor, I had married, I had
married a, a faith, faithful woman that I

745
00:53:50,580 –> 00:53:54,485
knew, you know, loved God as well, okay?

746
00:53:54,765 –> 00:53:55,885
I had children.

747
00:53:55,885 –> 00:54:00,415
I was, I was multiplying and
replenishing the earth, which is the

748
00:54:00,415 –> 00:54:04,945
second commandment that, that God
gave to Adam and Eve in the garden.

749
00:54:04,945 –> 00:54:08,825
The first was do not
partake of this fruit, okay?

750
00:54:08,825 –> 00:54:11,145
And the second was multiply
and replenish the earth.

751
00:54:15,085 –> 00:54:16,255
That’s interesting.

752
00:54:17,635 –> 00:54:25,705
You just, you just, uh, corrected me of
my thinking, David, because I always tell

753
00:54:25,724 –> 00:54:32,615
people it, it was the first commandment of
the Bible, but you are absolutely correct.

754
00:54:32,965 –> 00:54:37,185
The first commandment is don’t
partake of the eating of the fruit.

755
00:54:38,145 –> 00:54:40,155
I’m glad you corrected me of that.

756
00:54:40,545 –> 00:54:46,445
See, we, we always should be learning,
and if we’re paying attention, we’ll

757
00:54:46,445 –> 00:54:49,615
discover those little hidden truths.

758
00:54:50,275 –> 00:54:52,554
And, and I think that’s
important for people.

759
00:54:55,280 –> 00:54:58,140
And that, and interesting
enough, that is something that

760
00:54:58,140 –> 00:55:00,210
I’ve learned just this year.

761
00:55:00,540 –> 00:55:04,519
And I, I’ve been, I, I thought
as you did, I, I thought, as

762
00:55:04,519 –> 00:55:06,539
you did prior to this year.

763
00:55:06,540 –> 00:55:10,909
And I can’t remember who I was
talking to, um, actually, I think

764
00:55:10,910 –> 00:55:15,145
I was talking to my best friend,
I was, my best friend, Valerie.

765
00:55:15,495 –> 00:55:21,425
I was talking to her, um, and, and, you
know, the, and the reason she’s my best

766
00:55:21,435 –> 00:55:29,175
friend, Ed, is because this, this woman
is, um, she is such an inspiration to me.

767
00:55:29,510 –> 00:55:36,350
But she, she loves me and, and she,
she appeases my love language, which is

768
00:55:36,360 –> 00:55:39,640
quality time defined by communication.

769
00:55:40,060 –> 00:55:43,480
See, that, that was something
that my ex wife didn’t do.

770
00:55:43,939 –> 00:55:46,350
And I didn’t want to
continue to live a lie.

771
00:55:46,359 –> 00:55:52,550
And I actually prayed and fasted for
six weeks straight before I decided to

772
00:55:52,550 –> 00:55:55,250
divorce my, my ex wife of eighteen years.

773
00:55:55,700 –> 00:55:59,745
Um, because I didn’t, you know, I felt
that I had made the right decision in

774
00:55:59,745 –> 00:56:07,935
marrying her back in 2000, but in 2018,
at the very beginning of 2018, you know,

775
00:56:07,935 –> 00:56:13,024
we had gone through a lot of things,
and I, and she, I didn’t, I didn’t feel

776
00:56:13,035 –> 00:56:18,085
that she was the same person that I had
married, you know, eighteen years earlier.

777
00:56:18,405 –> 00:56:23,715
But at the same time, like we’ve discussed
earlier in this podcast, God comes first.

778
00:56:23,725 –> 00:56:28,225
You know, what is your will,
God, in this situation?

779
00:56:29,125 –> 00:56:33,895
Because I’ll tell you, because, God, if
you want me to remain married to this

780
00:56:33,895 –> 00:56:39,175
woman, I will remain married to her and
I will not break up this family of seven.

781
00:56:39,555 –> 00:56:41,435
You know, we had five kids at the time.

782
00:56:41,935 –> 00:56:46,634
So I prayed and fasted about
it and I never received the

783
00:56:46,635 –> 00:56:51,065
confirmation of the Holy Ghost that
I should remain married to her.

784
00:56:51,725 –> 00:56:56,260
And so, and I didn’t want to
live a lie because I knew that

785
00:56:56,350 –> 00:56:58,280
our relationship was not right,

786
00:56:59,165 –> 00:57:01,185
it was not right between us.

787
00:57:01,765 –> 00:57:06,475
Um, God was not happy with
our relationship, and our

788
00:57:06,475 –> 00:57:07,875
relationship wasn’t right.

789
00:57:08,025 –> 00:57:14,535
And, and so, that’s why I would have
never, see if God would have told me

790
00:57:14,964 –> 00:57:18,625
through the Holy Ghost, if He would
have confirmed through the Holy Ghost

791
00:57:19,245 –> 00:57:22,945
that I was to remain married to her,
I would have stayed married to her.

792
00:57:23,305 –> 00:57:24,485
But He never did that.

793
00:57:24,515 –> 00:57:27,814
And see, that’s how I knew
what was right for me and my

794
00:57:27,814 –> 00:57:30,045
will, or His will in my life.

795
00:57:30,444 –> 00:57:34,514
And as a result of that, I have
learned things like what you

796
00:57:34,514 –> 00:57:36,465
just, like, like what I just said.

797
00:57:36,845 –> 00:57:41,065
That the first commandment wasn’t to
multiply and replenish the earth, it was

798
00:57:41,065 –> 00:57:43,015
actually do not partake of the fruit.

799
00:57:43,265 –> 00:57:47,695
And, you know, we, we decide how
important these things are in our

800
00:57:47,695 –> 00:57:53,094
lives because each one of us, Ed,
are at different levels spiritually.

801
00:57:53,265 –> 00:57:56,724
We’re at different levels of
our relationship with God.

802
00:57:57,074 –> 00:58:02,390
But this, like I said, this life is
our opportunity to get to know God.

803
00:58:02,400 –> 00:58:08,130
Because if we don’t know Him, like it says
in Matthew chapter seven, when He comes

804
00:58:08,130 –> 00:58:14,199
again, and we, you know, we come to Him
and say, Oh, you know, praise the Lord.

805
00:58:14,199 –> 00:58:16,520
And He says, You never knew me.

806
00:58:17,355 –> 00:58:18,065
What do you mean?

807
00:58:18,065 –> 00:58:21,665
I prophesied in your name, I, you
know, I loved my neighbor, I did it.

808
00:58:22,155 –> 00:58:23,685
No, you never knew me.

809
00:58:23,755 –> 00:58:31,174
He’s only gonna say that to the people
that, that didn’t know Him in the sense

810
00:58:31,175 –> 00:58:32,804
that they weren’t loving their neighbor.

811
00:58:33,035 –> 00:58:36,775
They weren’t being, they weren’t
doing the things that they knew they

812
00:58:36,785 –> 00:58:39,085
should do because they were too hard.

813
00:58:39,375 –> 00:58:42,415
And, and we could even end with
this, the hardest thing for a

814
00:58:42,415 –> 00:58:48,745
human being to do, Ed, is to admit
that they’re wrong and to change.

815
00:58:49,815 –> 00:58:54,265
Change is synonymous, change
is synonymous with repentance.

816
00:58:54,775 –> 00:58:58,625
And what is almost every sermon
you hear when you go to church?

817
00:58:58,925 –> 00:59:00,414
It’s repent, repent, repent.

818
00:59:00,414 –> 00:59:00,914
Why?

819
00:59:01,255 –> 00:59:06,725
Because it’s the hardest thing for us to
do as human beings is, is to admit that

820
00:59:06,725 –> 00:59:09,145
we’ve done something wrong and change.

821
00:59:09,555 –> 00:59:15,575
And I’ll tell you something, true peace
in this life comes from repenting and

822
00:59:15,575 –> 00:59:22,135
from, you know, staying close to the Lord
and doing His will for you in your life.

823
00:59:22,165 –> 00:59:24,815
And you only find that out
through personal revelation

824
00:59:24,815 –> 00:59:26,115
through the Holy Ghost.

825
00:59:26,475 –> 00:59:29,075
So, that’s what I’ve learned in my life.

826
00:59:30,255 –> 00:59:33,795
I want to add to that a
little bit, too, David.

827
00:59:34,065 –> 00:59:41,415
And always, if you really, truly
want to discover what God is

828
00:59:41,415 –> 00:59:50,295
talking to you or not, go before the
throne boldly, and that is a key.

829
00:59:50,890 –> 00:59:53,929
I never, I never got it.

830
00:59:54,490 –> 01:00:00,240
I never got it until I wrestled with
God, and then I was a changed man.

831
01:00:00,780 –> 01:00:07,200
And that is very, you know, it’s,
it’s something to think about.

832
01:00:07,580 –> 01:00:12,010
David, I could speak to you for
hours on this subject and, you know,

833
01:00:12,200 –> 01:00:17,890
to take it further, I think this
is one of those callings you might

834
01:00:17,900 –> 01:00:20,820
have is podcasting about the word.

835
01:00:21,305 –> 01:00:25,685
And you’re very informed,
you’re very enlightened, and

836
01:00:25,955 –> 01:00:28,265
you can articulate it well.

837
01:00:28,265 –> 01:00:34,185
So I very much encourage you to
take that bold step and do it.

838
01:00:34,395 –> 01:00:37,154
You know, it, it, it will encourage many.

839
01:00:37,634 –> 01:00:39,154
Oh, it’s, it’s happening.

840
01:00:39,784 –> 01:00:40,244
Awesome.

841
01:00:41,350 –> 01:00:43,190
Yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s happening.

842
01:00:43,310 –> 01:00:44,630
I already have the name.

843
01:00:44,670 –> 01:00:49,120
My, the name of my podcast is going
to be God, Health, and Relationships.

844
01:00:49,520 –> 01:00:53,610
And I will be starting
it next year, um, 2025.

845
01:00:53,860 –> 01:00:56,650
That is one of my goals
for 2025, for sure.

846
01:00:58,210 –> 01:00:59,569
That, that’s a big step.

847
01:00:59,759 –> 01:01:03,460
And you know, we’re, we’re always
here to help you, that’s for sure.

848
01:01:04,480 –> 01:01:12,435
David, how can people find you, get a
hold of you, and also, do you have a

849
01:01:12,525 –> 01:01:15,124
call to action for our listeners today?

850
01:01:16,224 –> 01:01:20,665
So the way, the, I’m, I’m,
I’m, I’m an open book, okay?

851
01:01:20,665 –> 01:01:24,165
I’m a very transparent person,
I have nothing to hide.

852
01:01:24,725 –> 01:01:26,834
I would love to talk to anybody.

853
01:01:26,845 –> 01:01:29,955
You, I’ll give you my
cell phone number, okay?

854
01:01:29,955 –> 01:01:35,675
I’m not afraid to do that because like
I said, uh, I’m, you know, my, my cell

855
01:01:35,675 –> 01:01:38,964
phone number, my email, my email is easy.

856
01:01:38,964 –> 01:01:43,454
It’s

01:01:44,855 –> 01:01:46,045
that, that’s my email.

858
01:01:46,515 –> 01:01:54,605
Um, and then, and then call to action,
really the call to action would be to,

859
01:01:55,645 –> 01:01:57,654
yeah, you know, communicate with me.

860
01:01:57,914 –> 01:02:02,610
I, I believe that I, that God
has prepared me to help, um,

861
01:02:02,640 –> 01:02:07,120
individuals, whether you’re dealing
with physical, mental, emotional,

862
01:02:07,140 –> 01:02:09,570
or spiritual, or even financial.

863
01:02:09,930 –> 01:02:13,020
You know, the, the five things, you know?

864
01:02:13,020 –> 01:02:17,460
I, I feel that I’m prepared, that
God has taught me through trial and

865
01:02:17,469 –> 01:02:21,130
error in my life to help His children.

866
01:02:21,650 –> 01:02:25,570
Any, any problem you’re having
in those realms, I would

867
01:02:25,570 –> 01:02:27,180
love to talk to you about it.

868
01:02:27,220 –> 01:02:33,565
I don’t charge, you know, it’s a free
consultation with somebody who, who

869
01:02:33,565 –> 01:02:37,175
might understand you better than,
than anybody has ever understood you.

870
01:02:39,035 –> 01:02:42,935
Very powerful interview
conversation today.

871
01:02:43,465 –> 01:02:49,054

powerful conversation that we just had.

to touch somebody, for sure.
