00:00:00
hello and welcome back to the channel
00:00:02
and thank you for joining me in another
00:00:04
of my wonderful interviews and as you
00:00:05
can see I'm not in my normal studio and
00:00:08
if you've been watching recently you
00:00:10
will know I've been up to Scotland in
00:00:11
fact to creef to the hydro hotel in
00:00:14
creef for a very special reason because
00:00:17
that marvelous lady Barbara O'Neal has
00:00:20
had a health Summit here and I'm very
00:00:23
lucky because she's just agreed to join
00:00:26
me to have a conversation Barbara
00:00:28
welcome to the show it's good to be here
00:00:30
Richard have you and I know I have have
00:00:33
you enjoyed the five days that we've
00:00:35
been here with you delivering all your
00:00:38
wonderful stuff I have and one of the
00:00:40
reasons I know I have is because it's
00:00:42
gone so
00:00:43
fast you travel around the world doing
00:00:47
this and and I know that lots of people
00:00:49
will be obviously interested in all the
00:00:51
health remedies and your books and this
00:00:53
but I want to find out what it's like
00:00:56
being such a popular person um and
00:00:59
traveling around the world we hear of
00:01:01
big film stars who have their Entourage
00:01:04
and all of this you've got the lovely
00:01:06
Jacqueline who is looking after you
00:01:09
what's it like going from Pillar To Post
00:01:11
because I understand that you spend 10
00:01:14
months of the year on the road and only
00:01:17
two months at
00:01:19
home well it's uh it's certainly
00:01:22
different and even if I was at home
00:01:25
there's no children or grandchildren
00:01:26
near me
00:01:27
anyway um Australia's a very big place I
00:01:30
got two daughters in Tasmania with their
00:01:32
children I've got a few in Queensland uh
00:01:36
I've got one daughter in America so
00:01:38
they're all over the place anyway but I
00:01:41
a simple lady that really loves working
00:01:43
in my garden and cooking and sewing and
00:01:46
those simple things but God God has
00:01:48
chosen me to do something else I had
00:01:51
never have had or have wanted to to be
00:01:55
famous or great but it appears that that
00:01:58
seems to be what's happening
00:02:00
and what's it like being in a different
00:02:03
place every week what I do is I adjust
00:02:07
wherever I am and I found that that's
00:02:09
the key to be able to do it wherever I
00:02:12
am I'm with people who are very
00:02:15
interested in health people who are very
00:02:17
excited to see me and so it makes it
00:02:21
easy yes it would be hard if I came to
00:02:23
someone and said oh not you
00:02:27
again that you know you're a threat to
00:02:30
Public Safety that that would be a
00:02:32
little difficult but that that is never
00:02:34
the case I'm always with people who are
00:02:38
interested in health who love what I
00:02:41
teach so that makes it very very easy
00:02:44
and everyone is a person everyone and I
00:02:48
know everyone in God's eye is precious
00:02:50
and special and so I really have just
00:02:54
learned to love wherever I
00:02:56
am I'm thinking that um as you go around
00:03:01
the internet of course has been
00:03:03
something that is new for all of us um
00:03:06
in the last 20 or so years H and in the
00:03:09
old days you got famous by appearing on
00:03:12
people's shows or having documentaries
00:03:14
made about you so the internet is I mean
00:03:17
certainly for people like me who set up
00:03:19
a YouTube channel and and see where it
00:03:21
will go but for somebody like you where
00:03:24
you're so known
00:03:26
internationally how have you found the
00:03:28
transition from from being uh within
00:03:32
Australia to suddenly being known across
00:03:35
the world yes I I don't think that my
00:03:39
brain um really
00:03:42
comprehends what's what's happening and
00:03:44
I've always coped I mean you picture me
00:03:48
in the rainforest no electricity with
00:03:51
six children I just learned to to love
00:03:54
the moment and live every day as it came
00:03:58
and that's really what I do now never in
00:04:01
my wildest dreams did I believe when I
00:04:04
was uh washing the clothes in the in the
00:04:06
rainforest and digging in the garden
00:04:09
that I with a baby on my back that I
00:04:12
would ever be to what I am today I think
00:04:15
I I still don't quite comprehend it but
00:04:18
I I never get annoyed with people
00:04:20
stopping me and a lot of people stop me
00:04:22
I've got I've had a airline pilot stop
00:04:25
me in fact recently I think in one
00:04:28
airport about four flight attendant stop
00:04:31
me I'm just happy to see how happy they
00:04:35
are of how they've been helped yes that
00:04:39
you know I love that and so I smile and
00:04:42
I just say I'm glad but and I'll be
00:04:46
sitting in my seat in the plane and
00:04:48
someone will stop and say love what you
00:04:50
do and I'll look up and smile and and
00:04:53
put my hand up so what it does mean re
00:04:56
Richard that I can't eat an ice cream I
00:04:59
can't smoke a cigarette I can't drink
00:05:02
alcohol I I'm in a bubble yes and but
00:05:06
you know I really don't mind because if
00:05:07
I don't live what I preach I don't think
00:05:10
I should be doing this that's very true
00:05:12
and and I certainly you know as soon as
00:05:15
you step outside the things you've
00:05:17
spoken about people will suddenly ask me
00:05:19
you know well are you paying a council
00:05:21
tax are you pushing back against this
00:05:23
and all of this so and you have to be
00:05:25
authentic and and honorable and all
00:05:27
those things that that is so true and
00:05:30
many are
00:05:31
not like you would never get a painter
00:05:34
whose paints falling off his
00:05:37
house you would never get a plumber
00:05:39
where the plumbers falling down on his
00:05:41
house and that's that's what I feel a
00:05:45
great responsibility to be to to be a
00:05:49
living example of what I'm teaching you
00:05:52
mentioned back then about the rainforest
00:05:55
and about being there which is such a
00:05:59
terrific image of being in tune with
00:06:03
nature we've seen over the last 50 years
00:06:06
that removal of people from nature into
00:06:09
these tarmaced glass concrete
00:06:13
environments where nature is almost
00:06:16
invisible true and where you see even um
00:06:20
programs on the television for children
00:06:23
which are normalizing cityscapes rather
00:06:27
than nature how do we how do we get back
00:06:32
to more in our we're stuck with what
00:06:34
we've got now but how do we introduce
00:06:36
more nature into our lives to stay
00:06:38
healthy it's a good question Richard
00:06:42
because not everyone can go into a
00:06:43
rainforest and live the way the way I
00:06:46
lived I think you just do what you can
00:06:49
and even if you're living in the city of
00:06:52
London we we were very impressed when we
00:06:54
were in London last week that there's
00:06:57
not near as many overweight and obese
00:06:59
people that we see in America Australian
00:07:03
we see a lot of people
00:07:05
bicycling we see a lot of parks and we
00:07:09
had to be careful when we're walking
00:07:11
into the park early in the morning cuz
00:07:12
cyclists are whizzing backwards and
00:07:14
forwards on the road and so even in that
00:07:18
environment there are still the parks
00:07:21
it's a matter of it's a matter of
00:07:23
stepping out and accessing what you can
00:07:27
and even getting little pots where you
00:07:29
have some aloe vera you have some
00:07:31
parsley you have have some um rocket
00:07:35
there's there's always little bits that
00:07:37
that you can do no matter where you are
00:07:40
one of the big things that you talk
00:07:41
about is um clothing and things against
00:07:44
our skin but because our skin as you and
00:07:46
as I've remembered from the talks our
00:07:49
skin is the first line of
00:07:51
defense so many people are choosing
00:07:55
artificial Fabrics which are not good
00:07:58
for us and they you are dressed in in
00:08:00
the Scottish wool and you look
00:08:02
resplendant of course and I'm now
00:08:04
feeling slightly nervous that I have no
00:08:06
idea really what I'm wearing but that's
00:08:08
the thing we don't know what we're
00:08:10
wearing anymore no it's true and I often
00:08:13
quote that little book the ministry of
00:08:14
healing where she says the only hope of
00:08:16
better things is the education of people
00:08:19
in the right principles and yes when I
00:08:22
first read that I thought yes getting
00:08:23
people to exercise uh drink more water
00:08:26
eat more
00:08:28
plants we we never actually think much
00:08:31
about the fabric that we're wearing and
00:08:34
yet we the consumer have the power we if
00:08:37
we all said I'm going to stop the Nyon
00:08:41
acrylic polyester I'm going to go for my
00:08:44
natural fiber uh that that little thing
00:08:47
can make such a change it can make a
00:08:50
change in us because now our bodies are
00:08:54
wearing Fabrics that are natural yes we
00:08:58
come from d we go back to dust we're
00:09:00
wearing we're wearing the sheep's wool
00:09:03
that you know from the sheep that came
00:09:04
from the dust you know it's all it it is
00:09:07
all
00:09:08
connected but not only that is the
00:09:12
economy it affects the economy so we
00:09:15
have had of speakers this week saying we
00:09:18
can change this world you know I think
00:09:20
we can and a lot of people think little
00:09:23
old me but this world is full of little
00:09:27
old mes absolutely
00:09:30
um and and I know you're a great um
00:09:33
advocate for local and seasonal which is
00:09:36
something again that in the global
00:09:38
society that we're in and the big
00:09:40
supermarkets providing strawberries and
00:09:43
various things out of season that we we
00:09:46
should get back to those local things
00:09:49
and I know you have reasons for it yeah
00:09:51
that that is true and as a nutritionist
00:09:54
looking at the body um how it breaks
00:09:57
down food how it functions
00:10:00
that the foods that are in season are
00:10:02
actually the very foods that our body
00:10:04
needs in that climate at that time of
00:10:07
year so that's that's also important and
00:10:11
another important fact is that the food
00:10:14
that's available and it is usually the
00:10:17
cheapest that that's what's that's
00:10:19
what's actually grown now yes and my
00:10:22
husband pointed this out to me once when
00:10:24
I was summer and I went to the markets
00:10:27
and they had a whole box of grapes for
00:10:29
$6 I got two boxes came home and I was
00:10:33
so proud of my purchase and he looked at
00:10:36
and he said they're last year's grapes I
00:10:38
said how do you know he said look at the
00:10:40
stem the stems were dried up and brown
00:10:43
he said if they were new season grapes
00:10:45
the stem would be green I hadn't even
00:10:48
thought of that and and if you and well
00:10:50
that's it I'm sure most most Housewives
00:10:53
or husbands whatever probably also don't
00:10:56
know because the food we we barely
00:10:59
looked look at Food yes yes and you look
00:11:02
at the old Italian woman in the fruit
00:11:04
and vegetable shop she's smelling
00:11:06
everything yes and I always get my
00:11:09
husband to get the peaches because he
00:11:12
smells everything yeah no absolutely um
00:11:16
but that's I mean you mentioned there I
00:11:19
mean food is obviously part of the the
00:11:21
Whole Health picture for you and you
00:11:23
mention it very very frequently but even
00:11:26
then grow green grossers certainly in
00:11:28
this country um are barely on the High
00:11:32
Street butchers have disappeared pretty
00:11:34
much all the
00:11:36
small uh independent shops that you
00:11:40
would get personal service and who know
00:11:43
about what it is and where the food has
00:11:46
come from are disappearing that's true
00:11:49
that must that must affect the health of
00:11:51
people it absolutely does um when we
00:11:56
went first to the town well it's a hour
00:11:59
from where we live it's called kempsey
00:12:02
there was a big shop there called barsby
00:12:05
and I loved going in there because it
00:12:07
had a habitatery department that's all
00:12:09
the your clo you know your fabrics and
00:12:12
your Cottons and then it had a ladies
00:12:14
clothes men's clothes and in the old
00:12:17
days that's what it was and the lady in
00:12:19
the habitatery department she'd worked
00:12:21
there for 50
00:12:23
years isn't that wonderful she knew
00:12:25
everyone in the shop but you're talking
00:12:29
more about food and I agree when I was a
00:12:31
little girl there was a butcher shop
00:12:33
there was a bakery the bread shop then
00:12:35
there was you call it a green grocer the
00:12:37
vegetable shop but when you go to
00:12:40
America now everything's huge they're
00:12:42
all huge big supermarkets like costos
00:12:45
and Walmart and when you go in there
00:12:48
there's everything everything from food
00:12:51
even in America to
00:12:54
guns gosh to to clothes everything's
00:12:57
there and you look on the label made in
00:12:59
China made in China made in China and
00:13:02
that's why I say to people support your
00:13:05
local Industries and I think it's tragic
00:13:08
that in Scotland and Ireland the only
00:13:10
people buying the wool are the tourists
00:13:13
so if I want to buy some wool socks I
00:13:16
have to go to the tourist shops yes and
00:13:18
you're probably paying over the odds
00:13:20
yeah at the same time you mentioned uh
00:13:24
America and I have been to America twice
00:13:27
on two two we road trips RPS and it's a
00:13:30
fascinating uh place I'm not sure I
00:13:33
personally would want to live there uh
00:13:35
but it's great to visit um as you say
00:13:38
everything is very big and the people do
00:13:43
you despair I mean you've been going
00:13:44
back to these places do you despair that
00:13:48
people are not getting healthier that
00:13:51
what would be your
00:13:53
thoughts Richard often depends on the
00:13:56
circles that you mix with yes obviously
00:14:00
in the circles I mix with and the people
00:14:02
that come to my meetings they're
00:14:03
interested in it but in the little town
00:14:06
of Al of Rowan Oak Alabama near and it's
00:14:10
about 20 minutes from a health Retreat
00:14:12
that I usually run there once or twice a
00:14:15
year the people are just huge and
00:14:20
the and the food and you know what's
00:14:23
what's the most popular because that's
00:14:25
right out in the aisles it's just white
00:14:28
cakes with green icing and pink I icing
00:14:31
you know boxes and boxes and boxes of
00:14:34
this and one can Despair and then one
00:14:37
goes to Ireland and then one goes to the
00:14:40
Happy peir this wonderful shop where
00:14:44
this identical twins these guys I think
00:14:47
they're in their 40s now have this
00:14:49
amazing restaurant they don't call it
00:14:51
vegan because half the people wouldn't
00:14:53
come cuz unfortunately vegan's got such
00:14:56
a bad name and in some cases it's
00:14:59
warranted but it's the most beautiful
00:15:01
food and they're lined up out the street
00:15:05
wow and they have sourdough breads they
00:15:08
have local little uh you know uh fruit
00:15:12
and vegetables that's grown I love going
00:15:15
there and you go there and you're
00:15:17
revived you go there and you're
00:15:19
encouraged because you know that there
00:15:21
is a movement and it's all almost a
00:15:23
popular movement among amongst the young
00:15:26
people you know to be a little bit
00:15:28
different you go to America and yes
00:15:30
there are pockets of that so I've got a
00:15:34
friend who has a bread company s
00:15:37
gluten-free and he's making 6 to 8,000
00:15:40
loaves a day my goodness so you see that
00:15:43
you know obviously it's popular yes so
00:15:46
and his bread is all organic and I love
00:15:49
it he's only about 45 I think and he's
00:15:52
fit and young and got a family and I
00:15:55
love supporting local businesses and I
00:15:59
love in my lectures to say please go to
00:16:03
the farmers markets go to those little
00:16:05
Shops and and support them walk past the
00:16:09
big companies and a lot of people don't
00:16:11
think about where is their dollar going
00:16:14
but when I was in uh Germany a few weeks
00:16:17
ago up near the Baltic Sea walking
00:16:19
around the Baltic Sea and there were
00:16:21
little towns and Shops and and
00:16:24
restaurants and outside there were
00:16:27
tables and chairs
00:16:29
but it was a bit cool right so there
00:16:31
were little blankets little blankets on
00:16:33
every chair I thought oh isn't that nice
00:16:36
until I got up close polyester
00:16:40
blankets I was so
00:16:44
discouraged now you see all of those
00:16:46
polyester blankets you know I ended up
00:16:48
seeing hundreds of them what were they
00:16:50
50 years ago they would have been Woolen
00:16:53
yes and when that does a light rain or a
00:16:56
spray off the Sea comes it land on the
00:16:59
wool and it just sits there yes yes and
00:17:02
it really keeps you warm and I that's
00:17:04
why with my dying breath Richard I will
00:17:08
do this because the world needs to know
00:17:12
because so many people they got this
00:17:14
lovely fluffy blanket on their Lounge
00:17:17
it's polyester yeah and they say oh but
00:17:20
it's so sft I said yeah but it's plastic
00:17:24
it's a total deception I suppose people
00:17:27
are are really only now in the last say
00:17:30
five years I think the um the vaccine
00:17:34
that we went through has started to make
00:17:36
people think more about their health
00:17:39
this great big Global initiative that
00:17:43
people should do something to help them
00:17:46
now whether or not of course we may
00:17:48
disagree with whether it was useful or
00:17:50
not dancing on eggshells on YouTube um
00:17:54
but it has brought a lot more people's
00:17:56
attention to health and things that
00:18:00
relate to health like you say with the
00:18:02
clothing with the Plastics the
00:18:04
microplastics that are everywhere so do
00:18:07
you find that you're becoming more
00:18:09
popular all the time with the messages
00:18:11
that you're giving
00:18:12
out I think it is so 2020 lockdown we
00:18:17
were locked down a lot of people in
00:18:21
their homes started to
00:18:24
Google and so it was actually because of
00:18:27
the lockdown a lot of people discovered
00:18:29
me right instead of being at work all
00:18:31
day and busy busy busy they were sitting
00:18:34
and so they started scrolling and they
00:18:36
they found things so I think that's
00:18:39
interesting so I think that's one point
00:18:42
and another point is I think people
00:18:45
started to think this this isn't right
00:18:48
there must be something else and also I
00:18:51
know in Australia in some hospitals you
00:18:53
could not go in unless you'd had the
00:18:55
shot so a lot of people were confronted
00:18:58
with
00:18:59
looking at health for a few reasons the
00:19:02
lockdown the restrictions on freedom the
00:19:07
restrictions on going to what we have
00:19:09
been taught from young children that's
00:19:11
where you go if you get sick but also
00:19:14
getting frustrated with well my child's
00:19:17
been on antibiotics for six weeks now
00:19:19
and she's still got an ear AE you know
00:19:20
just been confronted with so there's a
00:19:24
few different things here I would like
00:19:26
to think that a lot of people's eyes
00:19:28
have been opened but then when I talk in
00:19:31
other
00:19:33
circles I wonder yes I know what you
00:19:37
mean um only a few weeks ago my partner
00:19:40
Julia's son tripped and fell and had a a
00:19:43
nasty gash on his head um and we sort of
00:19:47
were a bit nervous about going to a
00:19:48
hospital because we thought what will
00:19:50
they do how's it going to happen but in
00:19:52
the end it was okay we did take him in
00:19:55
but I was looking at the other in the uh
00:19:57
children's area
00:19:59
as he was being attended to and there
00:20:01
were babies and I spoke to one woman and
00:20:04
she and this poor little baby was very
00:20:06
upset and crying he was on his second um
00:20:10
week's lot of
00:20:12
antibiotics for something and you just
00:20:14
think oh my God what what are you doing
00:20:16
you've not even given any other option a
00:20:19
chance that's a very strong message that
00:20:22
you give in your talk it it is a strong
00:20:25
message and really it's that very
00:20:29
thought that very aspect that really
00:20:33
rocketed me into this I have felt the
00:20:36
frustration of having a sick
00:20:38
child I've just been given the fifth
00:20:41
course of antibiotics I don't want to
00:20:43
give her any more antibiotics but I
00:20:45
don't want to put her at risk I don't
00:20:48
want her to go deaf like everyone's
00:20:50
telling me that that is a very very uh
00:20:56
frustrating um place to be in and that
00:21:00
is why I really do what I do because I
00:21:03
want to show parents
00:21:06
grandparents that there actually is
00:21:08
another way and I was so excited when my
00:21:13
book sustained me finally was printed I
00:21:17
think the graphic designer had it for a
00:21:18
year but when I look at what he did I I
00:21:20
am very thankful he did a beautiful job
00:21:23
I wanted it to be a handbook on natural
00:21:26
remedies and I think it would be
00:21:28
wonderful if every home had one so if
00:21:30
there's a problem we look it up yes and
00:21:32
this is another Point Richard nip it in
00:21:34
the bud so as soon as something happens
00:21:37
you start to work on it but another
00:21:39
thing and I say this to mothers many
00:21:41
times do you know that every child in
00:21:43
the whole world has had a sore throat
00:21:45
did you know that every child in the
00:21:46
whole world has had a fever do you know
00:21:49
that every child in the whole world gets
00:21:50
a cold and if you do nothing it will
00:21:53
pass that's actually the first thing I
00:21:55
say but these simple natural remedies
00:21:58
can bring relief that's very interesting
00:22:02
because if you look at today's families
00:22:05
we're split apart we used to live very
00:22:08
much more as bigger families and advice
00:22:11
was handed down from grandparent to
00:22:13
mother to so on and and now you know
00:22:18
sometimes when I'm listening to you I
00:22:20
think goty that's what my grandmother
00:22:22
would have said um but we're in such an
00:22:25
immediate world people want instant
00:22:27
remedies
00:22:29
and they'll go to the doctor and Trust
00:22:33
In Those Old Ways seems to have waned it
00:22:37
it um it has and I think you just
00:22:40
mentioned one important Point Richard is
00:22:42
quick
00:22:43
fixes someone has a rash they put
00:22:45
cortisone on it's gone there was a girl
00:22:48
here this week and I knew she was on
00:22:51
cortisone her whole body was red and she
00:22:54
only looked like she was in her 30s and
00:22:56
she was now addicted to ctis for eczema
00:22:59
she said what do I do I said make the
00:23:03
dietary changes and then you're going to
00:23:04
have to ease off very slowly the body's
00:23:06
going to object but you just have to go
00:23:09
very very slowly so they're quick fixes
00:23:12
it's almost like buy now pay later yeah
00:23:15
and and we know how that goes you buy
00:23:17
furniture like that falling apart by the
00:23:20
time you've got to pay for it that's
00:23:22
right so you have to get another
00:23:25
one that that is true that there's this
00:23:29
time factor and that's why I give the
00:23:32
story of my daughter emmer at the age of
00:23:34
five saying mom I'm going to grow up in
00:23:36
a
00:23:37
minute I give that story as a
00:23:40
point that Emma didn't grow up in a
00:23:43
minute in fact it took her another 15
00:23:46
years I'm still growing up yes
00:23:50
yes but I give it as an illustration and
00:23:54
you know a spoonful of medicine sugar
00:23:57
helps the medicine go down
00:23:59
I say a spoonful of laughter gets a
00:24:01
point in a little bit further a little
00:24:03
bit further then it it's going to take a
00:24:05
little bit of time and I also used the
00:24:08
other cliche it took 20 years to get
00:24:10
this but it won't take 10 20 years to
00:24:13
undo but it might take a year might take
00:24:16
a year so it's patience yes and do you
00:24:19
think people have got patience no no and
00:24:22
I have to tell you Richard I haven't in
00:24:24
fact when my wrist was in plaster for 6
00:24:27
weeks I think it was the longest 6 weeks
00:24:29
of my life but in the Bible it says in
00:24:32
everything give thanks so I said thank
00:24:35
you Father in Heaven it's not my right
00:24:37
hand well of absolutely and thank you
00:24:41
Father in Heaven it wasn't my foot I can
00:24:42
walk so it's and I think that also helps
00:24:45
with healing is to is to be thankful is
00:24:49
to be thankful well yes this happened
00:24:53
but I could be dead all right that's why
00:24:55
I use that statement that a lady said to
00:24:58
Mark what if I wake up
00:25:02
dead well you wouldn't have to worry too
00:25:04
much I
00:25:05
suppose you you you mentioned thanking
00:25:08
God let let you use a lot of Bible
00:25:10
quotes in there um and you're using that
00:25:13
presumably there's a lots of people in
00:25:15
the audience who may or may not be
00:25:16
religious they may not even follow the
00:25:18
same religion that you do you're quite
00:25:21
um you're Fearless of using that in
00:25:24
different environments do you ever get
00:25:26
any push
00:25:27
back I actually don't and I am very
00:25:32
respectful I'm very mindful of where I
00:25:35
am and who I'm speaking to so in qua
00:25:39
Lampa when I was speaking to Hindus and
00:25:41
Muslims and I could see siks from many
00:25:44
different cultures I went very lightly
00:25:48
and because I've memorized everything I
00:25:50
I I present I slip it in and keep moving
00:25:53
and then I slip in a little bit more and
00:25:55
keep moving and one lady said to me when
00:25:57
you said a Bible verse I was about to
00:26:00
leave but he said but she said but it
00:26:02
was interesting and she said in the next
00:26:04
Bible verse I wasn't as quick to want to
00:26:06
leave and the next Bible verse I was
00:26:09
sort of starting to handle
00:26:13
it oh that is brilliant when when did
00:26:16
you were you always religious were you
00:26:18
brought up in a religious household or
00:26:20
you know I was but we only really talked
00:26:22
about God for an hour on Sunday morning
00:26:25
right and that was Presbyterian cuz I'm
00:26:27
fifth Generations Scottish descent and
00:26:29
then I did go a little bit wild I did
00:26:32
drugs and alcohol and a whole lot of
00:26:34
stuff and then when I was 25 I had two
00:26:38
little children and some people moved
00:26:41
next door and they were Christians and I
00:26:44
was a little bit hesitant at first in
00:26:47
fact the girl came over one day and said
00:26:49
we're doing a Bible study would you like
00:26:50
to come I said no thank you very much in
00:26:52
fact I was almost offended I thought oh
00:26:55
not interested in Bible studies but you
00:26:58
know little by little as we became
00:27:00
friends and then also um my first
00:27:03
husband had an affair which just broke
00:27:06
my heart and these people were so tender
00:27:09
they said let us pray for you and it
00:27:11
just it it brought Comfort to my aching
00:27:15
heart and I started to soften and then I
00:27:19
discovered that they were vegetarians
00:27:21
and I'd just become a vegetarian and
00:27:23
they were seventh day Adventists and I
00:27:26
started to look at some of their things
00:27:29
and then I remember thinking I don't
00:27:31
want to be forced into anything so I
00:27:34
started to read I thought I'm going to
00:27:36
read the Bible for myself I don't want
00:27:38
to be influenced by anything and I
00:27:41
discovered things in there that just
00:27:43
opened my eyes I discovered that wow God
00:27:46
is interested in our health because I
00:27:48
was a bit of a
00:27:49
hippie I found things that I didn't even
00:27:53
realize was in the Bible because often
00:27:56
we as humans as children we go to church
00:27:59
or we go to a religious thing and and
00:28:02
we're just taught things we don't look
00:28:04
for
00:28:05
ourselves and so after looking at all
00:28:08
this I thought to myself I'm going to
00:28:09
give this a go and so I remember the
00:28:12
night I got down on my knees I said
00:28:14
Father in heaven I'm going to give you a
00:28:18
try and I decided to let God be my guide
00:28:23
through life and I have to tell you
00:28:25
Richard oh how long ago was that that so
00:28:29
anyway I'm not good on math but I'm 71
00:28:31
now it was a long time ago and I believe
00:28:34
it was one of the best decisions that
00:28:36
I've made because I didn't know what was
00:28:39
ahead and I'm so glad God doesn't tell
00:28:41
you what's ahead well exactly but uh my
00:28:43
life went in ups and downs and I had
00:28:45
some tragedies in my life and I ended up
00:28:48
having to flee my Mountain Home when I
00:28:50
was 40 with the clothes on my back uh
00:28:55
and yet God always had a solution he
00:28:58
always had a way through every situation
00:29:02
so becoming a Christian didn't mean I
00:29:05
was now on a better
00:29:06
roses and of course every rose bush has
00:29:09
thorns but what I found was I was not
00:29:11
alone and what I found was that there
00:29:14
was a way and there was a solution
00:29:16
through through every
00:29:18
situation one of the most repeated
00:29:20
verses that you've um said I think must
00:29:24
be about taking advice could you just
00:29:26
give us give us that verse because you
00:29:28
do it so well I will and I'll even give
00:29:32
you the next two afterwards I think
00:29:34
that's important so it's Psalm 146
00:29:37
verse3 I was so excited to uh discover
00:29:39
this verse Richard and I discovered it
00:29:41
about 10 months ago put not your trust
00:29:44
in princes no matter who I talk to
00:29:46
Richard they love it yes because I say
00:29:49
well who are the princes they're the
00:29:51
authorities and the authorities have
00:29:53
hurt and disillusioned so many people so
00:29:55
people are surprised that that's in the
00:29:57
Bible put not your trust in princes
00:29:59
neither in the son of man in whom there
00:30:01
is no help his breath Goes Forth he
00:30:04
returns unto his Earth in that very day
00:30:06
his thoughts perish happy is he that
00:30:09
hath the god of Jacob has his help whose
00:30:11
hope is in the Lord his God that made
00:30:13
Heaven Earth sea and all that therein is
00:30:16
which keeps truth forever fantastic my
00:30:20
goodness um and it must have taken a
00:30:24
while to to find those verses in the in
00:30:26
the Bible that you suddenly yeah wait a
00:30:28
minute that's I I like that I like that
00:30:32
you know it goes on to to show opens the
00:30:35
blind eyes and I mentioned this the
00:30:36
other day that one of jesus' first
00:30:39
things he read in the Bible was to set
00:30:41
the captives free to open the blind eyes
00:30:45
and dear I find that there's um
00:30:48
application to
00:30:49
health and last week in no it was in
00:30:53
Transylvania up in Romanian Hills a lady
00:30:56
came to me she was 33 she had a walking
00:31:00
stick and her story was just tragic this
00:31:04
operation that operation this operation
00:31:06
last thing a stem cell transplant that
00:31:09
her body was now rejecting I tell you
00:31:12
Richard IUS wanted to cry who had done
00:31:15
this to her the
00:31:17
princess yes the princess but you know
00:31:20
what they think they're doing
00:31:24
good not all of them I would argue that
00:31:28
that some of them know exactly what
00:31:29
they're doing but that you know that's
00:31:32
it's what they're taught I'm not against
00:31:34
the doctor I think that there is some
00:31:35
ethical doctors I think there were some
00:31:37
excellent ones but they should not put
00:31:40
their trust in the princes in the
00:31:42
pharmaceutical companies absolutely yes
00:31:45
and uh the pharmaceutical companies have
00:31:48
caused with their greed so many problems
00:31:52
so many so many and that's a continual
00:31:55
thing I imagine that you're fighting
00:31:57
you're fighting People's Natural
00:31:59
reaction to go to their GP I mean when I
00:32:02
was when I was young we had a family
00:32:04
doctor he knew the history of the family
00:32:07
and you know you'd go he actually I
00:32:10
think the very first of our doctors I
00:32:12
remember being very small it was in his
00:32:14
house and he had his own Consulting room
00:32:17
now you know if you want to make an
00:32:19
appointment 3 4 weeks if unless it's an
00:32:22
emergency you got to fight with the
00:32:24
receptionist that is true Richard and
00:32:26
you know what the doctor was trained in
00:32:30
Reading bodies right reading people now
00:32:33
they read the computer reading bodies
00:32:36
and I can remember the Johnson boys
00:32:38
pushed me over when I was six and cut my
00:32:42
knee on the cement mom took me to the
00:32:45
doctor Dr Johnson was his name and you
00:32:48
know what he did he just taped my
00:32:51
knee he was our family doctor yeah he
00:32:54
just taped my knee so I actually have
00:32:56
never had a stitch
00:32:58
fantastic oh absolutely he just taped it
00:33:01
but that but the art of
00:33:04
diagnosis of reading a body reading the
00:33:08
symptoms that's almost been lost yeah I
00:33:12
I lost my left eye I had a a canba which
00:33:16
is a bug and um I remember sitting there
00:33:19
in front of the
00:33:21
consultant and he started to type on
00:33:23
Google what this problem was oh no and
00:33:26
at that point I said I'm sorry I don't
00:33:29
have any faith in you anymore how old
00:33:30
were you I was um it was it was only 15
00:33:35
years ago okay so and I saw him doing
00:33:38
this and I just said you're the
00:33:39
consultant you're looking it up on
00:33:40
Google and he spouted some rubbish you
00:33:43
know would we don't know everything and
00:33:45
uh so he immediately discharged you he
00:33:48
says I'm sending you to Mor fields in
00:33:49
London now which actually was better I'm
00:33:54
not going to say it's better treatment
00:33:55
because I lost the eye I was
00:33:56
subsequently told iodine would have
00:33:58
saved the eyee so um it's one of those
00:34:02
things but one of those things it's one
00:34:04
of those things but I'm pleased in a way
00:34:06
I went through it because I I suffered
00:34:08
something and I have a huge appreciation
00:34:11
for people Richard did it open your eyes
00:34:13
it's it certainly not only did it help
00:34:15
me I can take it out put it in a glass
00:34:17
of water but what it did do is it made
00:34:20
me appreciate people can have pain and
00:34:23
you can't see it it's true and unless
00:34:27
you know we always always normally say
00:34:28
unless somebody's got a limp or they
00:34:30
their blood's coming out or their arms
00:34:31
are cut off or something that you that
00:34:33
you think oh yeah you're going through
00:34:35
something but people go through a lot of
00:34:37
trauma that you never actually see and
00:34:40
they're putting a brave face on yeah
00:34:42
yeah and that's why I loved the book
00:34:46
that I read the gift of Pain by Dr Paul
00:34:50
brand and how he says if you don't
00:34:53
listen to your first whisper the body
00:34:55
will start screaming and when it starts
00:34:56
screaming it's doing damage and people
00:34:59
have lost the art of listening they
00:35:01
certainly have listening what what is
00:35:03
your body telling you and instead of
00:35:05
just taking something to kill that pain
00:35:08
why is that pain there and
00:35:11
investigating that's why I love that
00:35:13
formula look at the history look at the
00:35:15
symptoms I'll tell you what where to go
00:35:18
and where to start and then watch your
00:35:20
body's response what's your body saying
00:35:22
I like this I can you please don't do it
00:35:24
that way again yes I love the um
00:35:28
the the the advice you give about
00:35:30
listening to the doctor and then
00:35:32
withdrawing yes yes yes yes yes because
00:35:36
so many people feel guilty or they feel
00:35:38
they
00:35:39
must but that's why I say thank you so
00:35:42
much for your advice I'm going to I'm
00:35:43
going to seriously consider this and if
00:35:47
you have a child that's about the only
00:35:48
way you can get out yes yes is to take
00:35:52
that
00:35:53
script and say I'm going to seriously
00:35:55
consider this and I say leave quickly
00:35:58
because there's a whole waiting room
00:36:00
there yeah yeah and you and and I
00:36:05
suppose we through this the way that
00:36:07
we've been brought up with our hands up
00:36:09
at school to go and you know please can
00:36:11
I go and relieve myself and do a natural
00:36:15
biological function that you need
00:36:16
permission to we've been LED all the
00:36:18
time to obey Authority so when you're
00:36:21
sitting in front of the GP and he's
00:36:23
saying I think you should take this it's
00:36:25
very difficult to fight the Earth
00:36:28
for a lot of people to say
00:36:30
actually uh no I'm not going to so I
00:36:33
think you're it is far better because
00:36:37
it's stressful to go into a dialogue my
00:36:41
husband actually quite enjoys it yes I
00:36:43
can imagine that but it it's stressful
00:36:45
to go into that dialogue and the other
00:36:48
thing is if he thinks you're not doing
00:36:50
right especially if it's a child he can
00:36:53
arrange for social services to go and
00:36:55
knock on your door and one lady told me
00:36:58
they knocked on her door and said are
00:37:00
you giving your baby food
00:37:02
yet my goodness this is incredible and
00:37:05
these were quite wealthy people they
00:37:07
lived in a very beautiful house she was
00:37:09
a violinist husband and accountant so so
00:37:13
with this there's there's there's no
00:37:15
limit to who you are this organization
00:37:20
has power and the other thing my husband
00:37:23
pointed out so we're on the news every
00:37:25
night 2021 and and the people that are
00:37:28
making comments on this Co they're not
00:37:31
doctors no they're newsmen yes and who's
00:37:36
coming over on the news telling you what
00:37:38
to do people with no medical training at
00:37:40
all mind you the people with medical
00:37:42
training you know you question that as
00:37:44
well but we thought isn't that
00:37:46
incredible and this thought came to my
00:37:49
mind my grandfather was a light horseman
00:37:52
in the first world war he went to war
00:37:55
with a total disregard for his safety to
00:37:57
for my freedoms my freedoms are now
00:37:59
being taken away from me under the guise
00:38:02
of
00:38:04
safety isn't that
00:38:06
incredible yes it everything is for our
00:38:09
benefit and yet when you look underneath
00:38:11
the Bonnet there's nothing there yes
00:38:14
where's the benefit yes it is not and
00:38:17
that's why I love that rard Kipling's
00:38:19
poem all we know of Freedom all we have
00:38:23
in use this our fathers fought for us
00:38:25
long and long ago long forgotten bondage
00:38:29
dwarfing hearts and Minds this our
00:38:32
fathers died to loose shall be bound
00:38:35
again beautiful it's called the old
00:38:37
issue that's the name of the poem Oh
00:38:39
brilliant you're obviously a a good
00:38:42
reader you must read a lot in your
00:38:44
travels around is is that do you take
00:38:47

00:39:03

00:39:07
