All right. We're live. Welcome, audience. We have a wonderful guest today. Talia Smith with her big smile up in there. Say hi to all the audience, the millions of people. These videos are going to go viral with Talia Smith. From where in the world are you, Talia? All right. Nice, nice. I like to call you Miss Smith. Is that okay if I call you Miss Smith or Talia, Miss Smith? Miss Smith rolls off my tongue. Okay, Miss Smith, what did you. Okay, so we're gonna be talking about fluoroquinolones today. We're going to be talking about, um, Talia story and how she got damaged or coming up here on your five year, uh, date of your first antibiotic, uh, pill that you took Cipro, I believe. Is that correct? Okay. So maybe give us, uh, your little backstory here. What happened, how you ended up, um, in the system, the medical system, and how you ended up taking the basically only three three capsules, which is not a lot. More experience. I want every single day. So I want to come on that one. Um, I wasn't sure. How long do you think you want to ask is that, you know, I don't want to have a life of. Yeah. I actually. Like it and I don't think it's right. Mhm. Yeah. Okay. Long time. Um. I know you don't like it. There you go. I know. Uh, I'm sure you don't have to worry about that. Yeah, well, I don't want to tell you about it. Yeah. I know. And if anything else is going on and we are talking about it, and that she will be looking for her. And. I think you need to work on that. Yeah. I mean, I've seen your videos. I mean, you were like killing it. It was like you had. Yeah. I mean, it was like, you're really athletic. Yeah. So, um. And so, you know, this medication, if you have any questions. Okay. Mhm. Um, and, you know, I thought you wanted to know. Yeah. Yeah. Um, okay. Yeah. Um, and so forth and so forth. So I had to wait a while for me. Yeah. Are okay. To take Motrin 823,800mg 130,128.1. Right. Fine. So. You fell. Wow. Fell. And for now, what do you think? I think for me, and I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to change the fact that the median income for a family was 178,080% by 2021. I don't know if you are taking. Cipro. Yeah. You. Might want to wait. Yeah. No idea. It's actually quite important to know that you're living in the 1990s and early 2000. And if they're going to manage to make it so they don't want to see the war and the proximity of the Oklahoma City. I don't think they were more than. 140 miles an hour and a half. And so, I don't know, maybe it was. Like, how many were you taking that was just to manage the pain then right at that point. And then they might have wanted to take one So I think that's why I think so. Yeah. Mhm. You know, I mean. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. 20 something years and older. The median income for a household in the city of Boise. And you know why? So I thought that might not be so much fun. And we were like. Yeah, yeah. So I. Think one of the things that I was like. Oh, we got a crazy one here. She's throwing some terms around on how this antibiotic damaged her. This is a crazy one. Here's some antipsychotic medication for you, young lady. By the way. And I would also be instructed to make the corresponding copy of the movie. Yeah. Right, right. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? I agree. With that one out there. Have you ever wondered if you had a population of 125 of. Nsaids through IVs, you got NSAIDs through an IV Nsaid? Pardon? Say that again. Okay. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. So the point is not to say that it may not be present. And 20.000 1,981.8 billion one. Hundred and 72.001. Interesting. You're right. Without consulting a healthcare provider to determine if you need more. Yeah. And die. Yeah, yeah. Disastrous. Things coming out every day. Yeah, yeah. When was this? What was just to give us a timeline here? Yeah. So this happened in April of 2021. Okay. So. So okay. That's what I want. I just want to make sure people understand this, this timeline. So literally five months and five months, you had 20 CT scans. Is that what I'm hearing? Okay. This is absolutely in 20 CT scans in five months, there is a shitload of radiation in those CT scans, a shitload. Those are not something to be taken lightly. So I guess right there, I mean, like you say, um, you know, if you're in the medical system, you really got to get out of it, out of there. Now, if you're watching this video, you probably, you probably already realized that like you already got damaged to some degree or another. So okay. All right, continue then. So I didn't realize it was that quickly. It was literally like five months later, 20 CT scans, MRI scans. Yeah. Yeah. Um. What do you think of that and why are you 300 and. 61. 11.1.1.10.4.4.1.1.2.4. And intelligent life. Whatever. You call it the right way. And he said, no you can't. No no no. I don't want to die. Wow. Thank you for. Your life. So we'll take a walk right now. I think what I want to I have to ask for money on the table. If you lose it because of how you should dispose of any time you want to be worried about. So yes, that's what I think of that. No, I don't like that. I think they each have different issues. Yeah. So let's talk about the issues that are important to understand. I think that. Yeah she needs help. Chapter. 131 2020 104 25th November. 19441948 the airplane. We have only one way. I see that you have everything you need to make this possible. Well, then you know you can enjoy it. Yeah. I have. No way of knowing how to answer that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And how do you feel that your body is able to be, like, all the time? Because I think be hard to get what you want. You can get up to 6.5 hours a day, which is enough to survive. Yeah. Okay. So, um, so between April and September, when did you, when did you get invested in the histamine? What was that look like? Or what was the time frame on that? And how did they go about figuring out that you can only eat 6 or 5 foods? Okay, so that was September that you realized this histamine thing. So five months later, okay. And what happened was, um, after that point, I didn't really know what was going on. Right. And, um, you know, how long I would show up on. So when I was kind of. Maybe this is what happened. To me. I don't know if I can do it. Yeah. So that's where we start with those folks that were like, I don't need to be there for a while. Yeah. Well, what does that look like for me? So many people that work for them one by one. So I find that I am so lucky to be able to do so. The second thing I want to talk about. So what's so what is what does it look like now to eat? Like, how do you prep your food? I mean, what's, what's that look like? I didn't think so. So what should I know before I let you go? You know. And I know that I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. How long does it take to get out of the city? University of New York in 1990. Wow. We are running out of time and energy for what we really want to. Do. So thank you. So much for all your help. I don't want to interrupt you, but you don't like it? Mhm. Wow. Yeah. And then you just spoon it in. You can't put any salt in it or any seasoning you're going to. You would flair on that. That would cause. Okay. No. Yeah. I don't think I need to find more information on that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And you don't want to be able to find it. Hmm. Interesting. Okay. And how did you find. Are these just like over the counter or these compounded or these each. Okay. So you have you. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Yep. Yeah. And. So and who's compounding these? How are you getting this compounded? Okay, cool. And then you obviously you must have an MD that you're working with locally that's writing these orders. Okay. All right. So that's that's like you have someone that's working with you there. So that's good. So you can get these things there. Okay. All right. So, um, what would you tell someone? Like that's watching this video because I think this is like the, the biggest thing people, uh, they take this medication and then they start going on the internet and searching for things to get them better. What would you tell someone that's like watching these videos and is like, OMG like this is this is actually what's happening to me? Like, what would be the most sound advice that you could give someone? That just realizes this. Is my opinion. You know. Doctor Google. Yeah. I think you know so much great information leaflet that provides important information. And so what if I want to change your appearance. What Yeah. Well, what about all those other 222,400? And. 70,800 people running away from the shower. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. What do. You want to know about how to figure out what you want to do? Something with my life. Because I think you want to take care of your baby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. 11.15.15 5000 235,121. Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. But they don't want to know that you know all about it anymore. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. That's right. Yeah I agree. And, you know, we don't want to talk about that. Yeah. You know, you have to make sure one of the things that you think are really important to me. You have to be a lot more so than any of the things. We want to make it good enough for me to want to talk to you. You only have about a contract for about 40. Thousand dollars worth of time. Yeah. Remember that? Yeah. And I think that, you know, like, 80% of people would. Say. Just because. You don't know what you are talking. About. So what's the best way to find out if you have mast cell. What's. What's the best way to go about that? Okay. Maybe they don't know where to purchase generic brand name, brand name, or generic versions, making it easier for me to be part of your world from here. So, you know, I can't talk about that now. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe not. Maybe. You know what? It's not your problem. The only question is usually are not allowed. To be shown all. Over the world. So the best way. So if someone wants to determine if they have mast cell. The best way would be just to be aware of their body and is. Would you say someone should focus more on the foods or the sound light, chemical sensitivities? What do you think they should be more aware of foods. Okay. And when it comes to foods, what would you say would be like generally the biggest offenders that people would think are healthy but cause problems? Yeah. Uh. Yeah. I think it's super concentrated. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's hear it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And if you have a reaction, then you're positive. Yeah. Okay. All right. You only need one chance. Yeah. Yeah. So what food did you like? Test. I'm going to test this. And you had a reaction. What was that? Okay. You like salmon? You must, because you bring. Is this something that you you would eat before you got damaged? Ah. Okay. Okay. Um. I know that you are not. You know what? I'm talking about. Yeah. We try to create an environment. Like that? Yeah. If you look at the thunder microscope, they're like little shards of glass running around in your body. And if you already have mast cell, I mean, that's just going to tear people up. Yeah. You're gonna. Have to wait a little while for it to happen. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Mhm. Oxalates. Yeah. Ah. Okay. The Great Plains Test. Is that the Great Plains test? Yeah. Yeah. Mosaic. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They changed their name. Okay. So when you say you talk about here, you talk about get out like you want to get out of the medical system or conventional system. So how would someone what does that look like for someone that knows like, um, you know, they've been damaged and going into that system is just going to cause more, more harm or more problems. What does getting out like? Can you give people like some just some more clarity on what that would look like for someone to go about trying to exit out of this system and going into a system that's, um, has more possibility to actually help help them out. If I want to be in the medical system for a long time, right. And if you want to be nicer to me, if I want to talk to your patients. Yea. Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea. Yea. This is why I didn't want to talk about it. Oh what do I do? I don't I think so, I mean. Yeah. Okay. You know, usually reserved for people with high blood pressure. So I like, I like to make up my mind right before we get started talking about making money and trying to figure out what your rights are and what you believe you want to do. Not a job. Yeah. Um, so do you want a $1,000 a month? Yeah. Right. Yeah. I want. To talk about more about how to do it. Yeah. I think. We should be able to do it. Yeah. So if you have any concerns or questions, you may have to do it for like anything. Yeah. Like for sure. Like if you don't want to ask, you just want to make sure. That you are worthy to be Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's awesome. And if people want where are good resources, I guess. Now the next thing is if people want to try and get out. Um, in your experience, what are the best resources for people to actually, you know, learn information that's congruent with what's going to happen with their, with their body. Sorry. My Quin story.
