This is brilliant, Lissa, thank you. As a pharmacist for 30 years, I also believe my beloved profession has sold out its heart and soul. I wish you all success in your endeavours to heal yourself and our disease management system, sending Light and Love for your journey - and mine!
This Doctor is a rare exception. She has a soul. I refer to my [Dr] brother as a glorified drug dealer for pharma. Fewer incompetent, egotistical Doctors and many more empathetic nurses is what society needs today.
Santino R.; IDK what ur brother's specialty is RE: his practice but un4tun8ly, ur comment accur8ly describes "behavioral" medicine (a.k.a.: psychiatry/mental health). It's so much easier 2 medic8 than communic8. Even Dr. Rankin says it best. Most drs would rather promote symptom RELIEF than symptom PREVENTION. Ur comment concurs w/that.
Doctors are some of the biggest dopes. It’s from all the drugs. My cousins a pharmacist, says many are just drug addicts with good jobs. They kept me sick with a movement disorder when there was a full recovery to be had... only once I couldn’t afford insurance and in particular my “meds.” They were keeping my brain from healing the problem wtf 🤬
Lissa, I wanted to let you know that my surgery was successful, my Doctor removed 90-95% of my tumor and I am doing great. Needed some rehab in my hand but that's the only lasting reminder. Best of all- no seizures! It was such a blessing to meet you; you inspire me so much! Thank you for your prayers and support. Lots of love, Katie Smith
My Mum tells me that when she got sick once as a child, the doctor ordered her to be sent away to the seaside for 'convalescence'. you'd never hear of that nowadays.
This doctor is astounding. She is voicing what I know as a nurse. Luckily for me I work in a private setting where I can talk to my patients, where I can explain the changes she advocates. I send them to slimming classes, stop smoking, even send to meditation and gyms. I tell them to stop doing the extra work hours and re look at their lives. It works, they know it works and more they change their lives and I see them again in the car park for a chat, but they rarely come back to my office and they rarely take medication. I love this, it's what we've always known, but forgotten how to do. I consider myself lucky that I can spend as long as it needs to talk and sometimes that alone is all people need.
Thank you for bothering to do this for your patients. As a former mental health professional in 2019 I could never understand how this is not part of a regular protocol in the hospital and at discharge. There is so little actual hands-on follow up, but instead comes in pieces -- see this one or that if you need .... what?
I'm just now seeing this, and so blessed by it! I'm in the process of getting off of all of my meds for chronic pain, and replacing them with more exercise, meditation, healthier foods, etc. God bless you and thank you so much Lissa!
Consider krarom for pain. Its natural and very effective. It also will ease the withdrawal symptoms as you come off opiate pain meds. Start with 1 teaspoon
Lissa as someone "with" Poly arteritis nodosa for the last 10 yrs and constantly choosing to go off meds only to get back on it after a bad "incident" I learnt that the missing link was my mental, emotional and spiritual well being. I am off meds again but this time more conscious and empowered. Thanks to warriors like u who choose to empower, the world will be a better place!! Love
I agree with pretty much everything this young lady said. This might be my favorite Ted Talk of all. It takes a lot of guts for a doctor to admit that they've been wrong. I have the utmost respect for those doctors. They are a huge part of the solution to the problem.
Bravo Lissa! You are speaking to my heart. My goal as a healthcare provider is to increase patients and other healthcare providers awareness to see how far off track things have gotten. Stress and poor diet are at the core of all chronic dis-ease. Awareness is knowledge and can empower all of us. Thank you!
Hi Lissa I am 23 years old and I am from Ecuador. I just saw your video and I think you are simply the best doctor in the world. Do you imagine a world with doctors like you? We need it believe me!!! God Bless you Lissa your message is a beautiful miracle and you are a great example for everybody
A really heartfull medical professional's advice! Very lovingly shared! May all other doctors follow her feelings and recommend the real medicine; and not the killing ones! Why we don't believe in our own natural powers? Earlier we do, the better!
Wow. So amazing Lissa. I completely agree. I've known and practiced wellness for 35 years!! Been saying this all along! It's the future. I'm buying your book. Thank you so much for this.
This is one very bright lady whom, after rejecting conventional medicine as the cure for everything body wise, spent years trying to research, and discover, the road to a type of "total health", and especially happiness. I recommend you to listen to her story, which is presented in a clear, logical, and comprehensive manner, and ask yourselves, "is this journey for me?". Dr. Leon M. Silverstone
GMOs If you are being chanced by a tiger is your body's response the same as if you are infected with "Accumulative Excitable Neurotoxins Pharmaceutical " that is a Pharmaceuticals in your processed foods called MSG and Aspartame you don't know it but is in all kinds of stuff you would never think it's in like gum and sugar free or light this or that you will never know unless you start reading and knowing what's in your foods that is killing us a so STOP AND THINK WHY SO MANY WANTED REAL LABELS ON OUR FOOD AND THINK WHAT CONTROLES WHAT WE BUY IT NEEDS TO BE QUALITY FIRST NOT PRICE IF WE WILL NOT BUY A PRODUCT CAN IT SERVIVE IF IT HAS NO MARKT NO WAY YOU CONTROLE THNE PRICES WHEN YOU BUY REAL FOODS!!!!!. STOP EATING GMO's and all the other stuff that kills you from BIG PHARMA, BIG AGRACULTRA, and all the product that support this crap. DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR FOOD OR WE’ELL ALL DIE FROM PAYING FOR OUR OWN GENOCIDE AND SOME OF THE SAME CORPORATIONS THAT DID THE SAME THING ARE IN GERMANY ARE HER IN THE USA DOING IT RIGHT IN FROUNT OF YOU RIGHT NOW.
Lisa, I am your folower for almost two years and I can't express how much you have inpact in my life for good. Today I am better person in all terms. Your message is powerfull, keep it up !!! You are my role model. Dusica
I am just crying listening to this talk. I have learning the most I can to give my self the medicine I personally need. Thank you young lady, thank you doctor. I wish my well intentioned doctor who is prescribing me different cocktails to control hypertension, should listen and identify with the side effects I have been struggling with. Thank you for confirming my doubts, and inspiring my way.
Thank you Lissa Yes this is exactly what people need to do. Feed your body and listen to your body. You don't need medication. You need the best for your body. I am 80 and do not take one medication. As most my age take 10-50 each day. This I will be sharing with others and also lead them to the Best company for nutritional needs.
Lissa I am so blessed to have a mother who raised me on homeopathic medicine, herbs, chiropractic and colonics. She never has and still doesn't take any prescription medicine at all - She's 86 and is a practicing massage therapist. I have preached the message of taking athletes out of the game when they are injured. I totally agree and do everything I can on a daily basis everything you say. Thank you!!!
Thank you, Lissa! I am continuously healing myself with soul medicine. It's the best! Thank you for echoing this so that more people will be empowered to take charge of their own life and be free from the own bondage they put on themselves. Blessings, Angel.
Beautiful message! I love the soul medicine! Your journey and purpose to restore mankinds awareness that we can self heal. My purpose is to awaken the human healing potential and I do my best to spread this message in my work. Thank you!!!
I'm so grateful to have found you through Sara Gottfried, MD. I'm not a physician, but a dietitian who loves to learn and think outside of the box. You're right on! Thanks!
You do not need any doctor. Be your own doctor in today's internet era. I know you would never believe it but I cured my high blood pressure issue and my wife's diabetes by research on RUclips.
Dr Rankin is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this talk and bringing her teaching and findings closer to us all... what an incredible talk!! Thank you!
Lissa, I just love your message. I have been into holistic health for a very long time and it’s great to see the science behind it, all in one place. Your book is terrific. It took guts to stand behind your convictions especially when it may stomp on a few toes. It’s time people opened up their mind to the infinite possibilities in this world. And your speeches and your book are a huge step in the right direction. Kudos
Millions of people are addicted to their legally prescribed medications. Overdoses and deaths are at an all time high. Dr's are over prescribing. Why??? What role do the drug companies play? Is this epidemic just a money thing? It's so scary! Thank you Lissa for having the courage to speak publicly about this AND for telling people that they can take control of their own health.
Lissa, All the angst felt on your plane ride was your inner pilot light guiding you to an incredible and inspiring talk. I hope to see this on as many PB stations as possible. As I continue to heed my own calling of healing the soul, healing the body, you are a mentor and bright light of inspiration to me. You are the change I wish to see in the world. Many blessings to you and thank you for the gift of you!
Wow! I respect this doctor for coming forth and being totally honest and transparent! She is soooooo right! Just recently one of my doctors insisted on operating me and offered me NO OTHER CHOICE, Thank God I stood firm and didn't allow it and eventually was HEALED! This IS DEFINITELY a BROKEN Health system and there is so much more to this than we know, its deeper.
What an amazing and inspiring transformative presentation!!A scientist, compassionate and a natural professional! You are a true professionalThank you for this convincing speech - with GRATITUDEDr Latha Hapugoda MBBS, MSc, MD, FFPH (UK)
Talk about fighting the good fight. I cannot tell you how exciting it is too see your message hitting the main stream. Thanks for doing what you do Lissa.
Great talk for empowered patients and conscious medicine deliverers alike. I've used this successfully with many clients with cancer to needing a heart transplant and it works!!
Thank you Lissa for speaking your truth. Loved meeting you live in Chicago and now watching you on this TED X vid - keep doing what you do - your message is so needed to hear.
I have found life after near death on over twenty prescriptions...write your own plan of care. Make it a positive goal for each area of your life and enjoy a wonderful outcome.
The body heals when we release the emotions stored in the body. It isn't about food. It is about the chemistry of emotions. She on the right track but hasn't gone far enough. Check out Dr. Candace Pert's book/research: The Molecules of Emotion.
Wonderful! Thank you so much, Lissa, for stepping out and telling the Truth. You're talking about discovering the SOURCE of our physical ailments and not just treating the symptoms. That has been the biggest frustration I've had with modern medicine. When you treat the source, the symptoms go away! What a concept! Thank you for pointing this out to your colleagues. I hope they listen! Blessings as you continue your work in your world. xoxo
Thank you so much Lissa for having the courage to do this Ted Talk. I believe you are "awakening" the medical industry and the world. It is time for change. Much love & aloha :)
Very well said. This modern doctor mindset/programing is the entire reason I became a traditional medicine doctor (Eastern/acupuncture). There is too much separation between the body and the person. They're inseparable, just as the body, mind, and soul are inseparable
I respect her for admitting what they are really called to do as doctors and true healers. Everything has been tainted and corrupted. I so agree with all the suggestions she gave as to what real medicine is and how we should begin to heal our own bodies.
Amen Dr Rankin ! While emergency medicine is outstanding, medicine for chronic degenerative ailments is lacking, to say the least. The suffering public can only hope your message spreads like a brush fire through the Allopathic medical community.
Not only is stress a silent killer, as studied and researched by Stanford biologist Robert Sapolsky, but the resulting anxiety and existential battle slowly drain you or your health and connection to the world. I just went through an examination of my life stress and through a series of examinations I took an honest look at my life and saw what I was doing to create this dis-ease in my life. Lissa is criticizing the aspect of medicine that does not work. We are in control of our health and responsible to look at what makes up our beliefs and why we believe them. We have been conditioned to see the medical world as "all good", but in reality no human system is perfect no matter how scientifically based that system is if there is a political and economic control mechanism in play.
This talk was well spoken. Your dictation is great as well. Your rhythm and pronunciation seems to weave its way into my mind. Good flow, great information. Luckily The Netherlands is number 17 of 193. There is still work to be done here though :)
How can you get rid of stress when it is deeply part of your life 24/7 daily. For the entire life of my daughter who suffer from an incureable genetic disorder. with multiple body disfunction and blindness. Since I am single mother with cancer and in daily pain I can't easily wish these problems away and this is the smallest of all my daily stress.. Dealing with cancer treatments for five years is a true nightmare. Most people think having a nurse in the home helps decrease the stress level but for me and my daughter it only adds to the stress at a 100%. So many nurses over the years that don't know or do too much I have to always trained and trained you also have to deal with their personality. I have no family support, awful housing, and for any disabled person living in a one-bedroom regular small bedroom and bathroom is heart breaking. I guess I should learn to be happy and unstress because her ventilator is keeping her breathing. But this talk is great I am always looking for some helpful on line advise since get out is impossible unless my daughter or myself is seeing a doctor
I am encouraged to hear this message. It is my hope that the medical ...... is taken down and true healing begins for millions of suffering people. I hope many professionals will find the courage to be honest enough to lead the way towards true health care.
I'm very ill right now, hard tons of medication had weaken my body, doctor has made a few mistakes and what should had taken a few days to heal has become 4 weeks. I'm going to learn about natural medicine because i don't want to be a guinea pig anymore. Don't relay only on medication and doctors, sometimes they're clueless. I love this lovely lady speeches btw, i aploud her.
I appreciate what Lissa is saying in this presentation. I am just stumped on how we humans in this insane society can go about eliminating all the undue stress from our lives. My first thought is that we should shitcan all these stressful jobs and get rid of the looong, tedious 40+ hour work week (especially since our work for the day doesn't just simply end when we get home from our jobs at the end of the day). Most people are in debt, and that is a huge stressor that has to be eliminated from our lives. Being a slave to debt (30-year mortgages, car loans, credit card debt, etc.) is a crappy and very stressful way to live. Society as a whole would have to be drastically changed in order for us to heal both physically and mentally from the undue stresses in life.
id also like to add that my illness definitely developed after a ptsd trauma. after 3 years of chronic stress my body shut down in many ways. therefore ur mind is in control. I believe that the body shuts down so u are forced to reprioritize and stop stressing, so u can get back to normal. cuz if ur body is healthy, u don't feel the need to change anything. just my two cents
The strongest medicine is in your SOUL the real you, the master of the whole body which can produce everything so you can initiate the magic invisible miracle powers that god gave you on your very first intake of breath, use them, do not let them die.
Laughter makes a merry heart. We should be anxious for NOTHING! Envy and jealousy ROT our bones, I can go on and on. Scientists like her have to admit it! Stress is killing us and all we're doing is covering it all up with bandaids, she is so right! Thank God someone is coming clean in that side of the fence. May we all take heed.
Hi Lissa. Interesting that you were stressing about stressing how stressing causes illness : ) But it's a message that needs stressing. Thank You! To truly heal, we need more than a bandaid (drugs, etc); healing needs to happen from the inside out. Thanks for feeling the fear and expressing yourself anyway - This is an important message you have to share.
Thanks Lissa for taking the risk to give up your routine and invest in your dream. Besides it healed you for sure it will help many others. There is no wrong or right it all depends...... And that makes life so interesting. full of opportunities and solutions for problems that we are one of the stakeholders off
Over forty five years ago a group of doctors came to my high school and told us that if we got VD we should go to the county health department and get treatment. They would then trace your partners and treat them. Well as it was common back then I got the clap. I ended up at Highland hospital. They did treat me and I am thankful for that but didn't track down any of my partners. But shortly ofter that I started to have strange health problems. I now know that was when I was infected with Hep C. Hep C has an initial onset much like HIV. They are both retro viruses. 45 years later Hep C gave me cancer. I rose up and attacked the problem and fought it with every tool I could. I lived through the cancer but let me tell you it was tough. When I was first diagnosed with hep C the doctor would not treat me unless I said I had done IV drugs. I was an athlete. I ran ten miles every morning. Did Karate and Tai Chi as well as did Modern, Jazz and Ballet. But to get treatment I had to say I had done IV drugs. I now know that I was exposed to hep C from in the injection I got for the clap at Highland Hospital. I was invided to attend a seminar on hep C that included a presentation by Dr. Stewart. He did the first studies on Hep C using Chimps. I sat right in front. He was at most ten feet away from me. He said only ten to fifteen percent of those exposed to the virus become chronic. I asked him if the number is that low how does he explain the high number of people that have Hep C. He couldn't, he just shrugged his shoulders. Then I see his work published on pubmed and the numbers had been changed to 45 to 55 percent. That is the reality of modern medicine. They kill you, or infect you with a deadly disease, and lie about it to you. All the while charging you a huge amount of money for treatment. The current "wonder" treatment for Hep C in one thousand dollars a pill!!!
Lissa, here is the link to my blog on the Cedars Carepages, I regularly post about my health and thoughts and epiphanies of which there have been many, In part because of you. I plan on turning it into a book as I want to be the "anti-cancer crusader".
What Dr Rankin is really saying is that we are spiritual beings and our spirits must be properly cared for. Our Creator, God, has provided us his guidelines for caring for our spirits in the Holy Bible.
Hey Fletch, newsflash: there is no "God", he/she/it is a culturally-mediated construct (that's why different cultures have had a myriad of different religions throughout the course of history). Sorry to bust your bubble, buddy.
***** "A student in the science of God..." The science of God?! Now that's a contradiction in terms if there ever was one. I suggest you pipe down, be quiet, and take your rambling nonsense elsewhere. RUclips is the purview of the rational and informed, not silly men such as yourself.

How did you become cancer free?
Can you please tell me
A little about your experience.

Ur probably dead now because you chose allopathic medicine

Then why do all medications cause cancer and are all synthesized by oil
If people stop taking their medication because of you and your a nurse you should be locked up and probably arrested for Murder if one of them dies.

And yet they never give meds to the ppl who actualy need them bc docters dont trust ppl they only trust what shows up on a screen

What would my prescription be? What do I need?
Simple; to find a dr like you!

― Hippocrates
Hippocrates never heard of Celiac Sprue...

The body heals when we release the emotions stored in the body. It isn't about food. It is about the chemistry of emotions. She on the right track but hasn't gone far enough. Check out Dr. Candace Pert's book/research: The Molecules of Emotion.
Not for long because they going to geneticly modify your food too.
Wonderful! Thank you so much, Lissa, for stepping out and telling the Truth. You're talking about discovering the SOURCE of our physical ailments and not just treating the symptoms. That has been the biggest frustration I've had with modern medicine. When you treat the source, the symptoms go away! What a concept! Thank you for pointing this out to your colleagues. I hope they listen! Blessings as you continue your work in your world. xoxo
remarkable! this is a start to changing the medical profession in itself! amazing!
Hallelujah! So Great! You are a blessing!
She is fantastic, my kind of a girl! Thought Become Things!
Thank you so much Lissa for having the courage to do this Ted Talk. I believe you are "awakening" the medical industry and the world. It is time for change. Much love & aloha :)
Very well said. This modern doctor mindset/programing is the entire reason I became a traditional medicine doctor (Eastern/acupuncture). There is too much separation between the body and the person. They're inseparable, just as the body, mind, and soul are inseparable
A shining human being who can think for themselves. Great work Lissa.
I respect her for admitting what they are really called to do as doctors and true healers. Everything has been tainted and corrupted. I so agree with all the suggestions she gave as to what real medicine is and how we should begin to heal our own bodies.
Amen Dr Rankin ! While emergency medicine is outstanding, medicine for chronic degenerative ailments is lacking, to say the least. The suffering public can only hope your message spreads like a brush fire through the Allopathic medical community.
Not only is stress a silent killer, as studied and researched by Stanford biologist Robert Sapolsky, but the resulting anxiety and existential battle slowly drain you or your health and connection to the world. I just went through an examination of my life stress and through a series of examinations I took an honest look at my life and saw what I was doing to create this dis-ease in my life. Lissa is criticizing the aspect of medicine that does not work. We are in control of our health and responsible to look at what makes up our beliefs and why we believe them. We have been conditioned to see the medical world as "all good", but in reality no human system is perfect no matter how scientifically based that system is if there is a political and economic control mechanism in play.
This talk was well spoken. Your dictation is great as well. Your rhythm and pronunciation seems to weave its way into my mind. Good flow, great information. Luckily The Netherlands is number 17 of 193. There is still work to be done here though :)
How can you get rid of stress when it is deeply part of your life 24/7 daily. For the entire life of my daughter who suffer from an incureable genetic disorder. with multiple body disfunction and blindness. Since I am single mother with cancer and in daily pain I can't easily wish these problems away and this is the smallest of all my daily stress.. Dealing with cancer treatments for five years is a true nightmare. Most people think having a nurse in the home helps decrease the stress level but for me and my daughter it only adds to the stress at a 100%. So many nurses over the years that don't know or do too much I have to always trained and trained you also have to deal with their personality. I have no family support, awful housing, and for any disabled person living in a one-bedroom regular small bedroom and bathroom is heart breaking. I guess I should learn to be happy and unstress because her ventilator is keeping her breathing. But this talk is great I am always looking for some helpful on line advise since get out is impossible unless my daughter or myself is seeing a doctor
I am encouraged to hear this message. It is my hope that the medical ...... is taken down and true healing begins for millions of suffering people. I hope many professionals will find the courage to be honest enough to lead the way towards true health care.
We all need to spread this information my family Dr. always said we know our body better than he ever will trust yourself!
I Appreciate the wisdom shared,
Wishing you Love and blessing to continue .
I like your honesty, do Good, do no harm
WHEN YOU LOVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! ANYTHING! :-)
LOVE & LIGHT!
10 years cancer free from grade four brain cancer, Glioblastoma. Lissa, I wrote a book called Welcome to Katie's Brain. It's my whole story.
i really love your talks! thank you for telling the truth.
I'm very ill right now, hard tons of medication had weaken my body, doctor has made a few mistakes and what should had taken a few days to heal has become 4 weeks. I'm going to learn about natural medicine because i don't want to be a guinea pig anymore. Don't relay only on medication and doctors, sometimes they're clueless. I love this lovely lady speeches btw, i aploud her.
Try a naturopathic doctor. I have one and she is one of the few medical doctors who spends an hour with me every time I see her.
Awesome as ever Lissa. So needs to be said. Time for a paradigm shift in Health care rather than Disease management.
I appreciate what Lissa is saying in this presentation. I am just stumped on how we humans in this insane society can go about eliminating all the undue stress from our lives. My first thought is that we should shitcan all these stressful jobs and get rid of the looong, tedious 40+ hour work week (especially since our work for the day doesn't just simply end when we get home from our jobs at the end of the day). Most people are in debt, and that is a huge stressor that has to be eliminated from our lives. Being a slave to debt (30-year mortgages, car loans, credit card debt, etc.) is a crappy and very stressful way to live. Society as a whole would have to be drastically changed in order for us to heal both physically and mentally from the undue stresses in life.
id also like to add that my illness definitely developed after a ptsd trauma. after 3 years of chronic stress my body shut down in many ways. therefore ur mind is in control. I believe that the body shuts down so u are forced to reprioritize and stop stressing, so u can get back to normal. cuz if ur body is healthy, u don't feel the need to change anything. just my two cents
Great talks and very inspiring. I love all of your TEDtalks.
The strongest medicine is in your SOUL the real you, the master of the whole body which can produce everything so you can initiate the magic invisible miracle powers that god gave you on your very first intake of breath, use them, do not let them die.
That's kinda out there dude
So atheists are screwed. ;)
my body knows how to cure itself
Yes, your body knows how to Cure every disease by itself. Don't panic.
Laughter makes a merry heart. We should be anxious for NOTHING! Envy and jealousy ROT our bones, I can go on and on. Scientists like her have to admit it! Stress is killing us and all we're doing is covering it all up with bandaids, she is so right! Thank God someone is coming clean in that side of the fence. May we all take heed.
I really do wish for humanity to understand this
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information:)
Hi Lissa. Interesting that you were stressing about stressing how stressing causes illness : ) But it's a message that needs stressing. Thank You! To truly heal, we need more than a bandaid (drugs, etc); healing needs to happen from the inside out. Thanks for feeling the fear and expressing yourself anyway - This is an important message you have to share.
Wonderful talk. It gives me HOPE that things may change!
THANK YOU for THIS! It is/was one of the BEST Ted Talks I've watched. You basically, "nailed" it.
Appreciate your thoughts.
:)
Thanks Lissa for taking the risk to give up your routine and invest in your dream. Besides it healed you for sure it will help many others. There is no wrong or right it all depends...... And that makes life so interesting. full of opportunities and solutions for problems that we are one of the stakeholders off
what an awesome talk, thank you for sharing this beautiful work
Dr. Rankin rocks!!! Thank you!
Don't underestimate the power of "eating the right foods".

excellent description of what stress is.
Over forty five years ago a group of doctors came to my high school and told us that if we got VD we should go to the county health department and get treatment. They would then trace your partners and treat them. Well as it was common back then I got the clap. I ended up at Highland hospital. They did treat me and I am thankful for that but didn't track down any of my partners. But shortly ofter that I started to have strange health problems. I now know that was when I was infected with Hep C. Hep C has an initial onset much like HIV. They are both retro viruses. 45 years later Hep C gave me cancer. I rose up and attacked the problem and fought it with every tool I could. I lived through the cancer but let me tell you it was tough. When I was first diagnosed with hep C the doctor would not treat me unless I said I had done IV drugs. I was an athlete. I ran ten miles every morning. Did Karate and Tai Chi as well as did Modern, Jazz and Ballet. But to get treatment I had to say I had done IV drugs. I now know that I was exposed to hep C from in the injection I got for the clap at Highland Hospital. I was invided to attend a seminar on hep C that included a presentation by Dr. Stewart. He did the first studies on Hep C using Chimps. I sat right in front. He was at most ten feet away from me. He said only ten to fifteen percent of those exposed to the virus become chronic. I asked him if the number is that low how does he explain the high number of people that have Hep C. He couldn't, he just shrugged his shoulders. Then I see his work published on pubmed and the numbers had been changed to 45 to 55 percent. That is the reality of modern medicine. They kill you, or infect you with a deadly disease, and lie about it to you. All the while charging you a huge amount of money for treatment. The current "wonder" treatment for Hep C in one thousand dollars a pill!!!
BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!
Medicine is...speaking Your truth! You go Lissa!
... I LOVE THIS GIRL ... SHE IS RIGHT ON... :)
Thank God for the good ones in between the bad ones
Thank u all very much
Lissa, here is the link to my blog on the Cedars Carepages, I regularly post about my health and thoughts and epiphanies of which there have been many, In part because of you. I plan on turning it into a book as I want to be the "anti-cancer crusader".
Thanks for this video. It is great and I only wish people would listen.
MUST SEE
Thank you being so honest.
Numbness is dumbness, Painless is being brainless, Peace is release, And Ignorance is bliss.
Byron Clown Excellent words of wisdom! Thank you
What Dr Rankin is really saying is that we are spiritual beings and our spirits must be properly cared for. Our Creator, God, has provided us his guidelines for caring for our spirits in the Holy Bible.
or Koran
Hey Fletch, newsflash:
there is no "God", he/she/it is a culturally-mediated construct (that's why different cultures have had a myriad of different religions throughout the course of history).
Sorry to bust your bubble, buddy.
***** "A student in the science of God..."
The science of God?! Now that's a contradiction in terms if there ever was one. I suggest you pipe down, be quiet, and take your rambling nonsense elsewhere. RUclips is the purview of the rational and informed, not silly men such as yourself.
***** Yes Mark, let's debate astronomy, shall we?
Where do you want to start, I will cede the opening volley.
***** Try me. Or has the cat got your tongue?
Suddenly you've gone all quiet, what a shock. Give me your opening salvo, and I will riposte in kind.
Unmanaged chronic stress is the problem. Stress it self is the best feeling in the world.
stress is fear. Behind every fear is the life you want to live. Stress is a challenge
Excellent Tedx Talk!
