Sweating and Detoxing for Health

Speaker 1

When you take a bath , put some Epsom salt and stay in the bath . Make it really hot , sweat , sweating . We don't sweat on a Do you know ? You're supposed to sweat every day . Mmm , that's yeah , and that's hard for you and me because we're cold Nature and we live Right now . It's cold in our climates . But If you could sweat , get in the tub , get in a sauna . If you don't have a sauna , get in your tub . Make it really hot until you are sweating . Or go do work , run up and down the stairs until you're sweating , exercise until you're sweating . Sweating cleans your pores , like it detoxes you .

You're listening to the I Am Healing Strong podcast , a part of the Healing Strong organization , the number one network of holistic cancer support groups in the world . Each week we bring you stories of hope , real stories that will encourage you as you navigate your way on your own journey to health . Now here's your host stage four cancer thriver , jim Mann .

Speaker 3

Well , we have an expert with us today that we've had on the podcast . Before giving her a story of cancer survivor , cancer thriver . That's the correct way of saying it , right ? Mm-hmm ? Yeah , christine Ocomb . No relation to LA Ocomb , which I said on the other podcast too , but I'm saying that because we just had LA Ocomb a little while ago . We're not going to ask you to sing . I can't sing . Okay , can you sign language ? That's always good on the podcast .

Speaker 1

Neither .

Speaker 3

Neither . Well , we're going to talk about something that I need a lot of help with . I know how to put nutrition in my body , but detoxing is something that you know a lot about , so we have you on our podcast today to let us know what we need to do . In fact , let's start off with what is detoxing .

Speaker 1

Detoxing is something that our body does naturally . God made our bodies perfect . We mess them up , but they were and they should be perfect and they work if they're supported . So every day of every minute of every day , our body is detoxing all the time . Our liver is the main workhorse and it cleans our blood like a pint every minute . So in six minutes it's done your whole body all the time . It never stops , never stops . That's why you can't live without your liver and you can't live without your kidneys and you can't live without your lungs .

Speaker 1

All of those are detox organs , but so is our digestive system , our lymphatic system . All of them are so elaborate and they're detoxing all the time . So why do we have to mess with it ? Right ? Why do we even have that word detox ? I remember when I started my journey 11 , 12 years ago , someone said the word you need to detox too . You just can't take vitamin C . And I remember asking my first more natural path that I doctor about it . She said she was an MD , she was double board certified and alternative , and she said oh no , no , we can't do that . Detoxing it's very complicated , it can be serious .

Speaker 1

It can be serious is a phase one and there's a phase two and I don't know enough about it . And that's where she stopped and I said , well , how about just let's do some vitamin CIVs ? Well , okay , she let me do 10 milligrams . I could have taken that orally , but that's how scared she was and what she had heard about it scared her , and so from that point on it's just been a learning slow experience for me , and now I realize it really isn't that complicated , and then our body does it . We just need to support those parts . So I wanted to make it as simple as possible .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that's what I need , for sure , but to me , being a simple-minded person , to detox it just seems like such a wide range of things . Because I've heard so many different ways of detoxing , different things of detox , I'm like , oh my gosh , I'm overwhelmed . I'm gonna say that I stopped because I'm overwhelmed . I just freeze like a deer .

Speaker 1

You can overwhelm easy today . I mean , back then there was nothing . Well , there wasn't much on the internet either , but you could doctor Google and you're gonna like what .

Speaker 3

It just keeps coming .

Detoxing and Clean Living Tips

Speaker 1

Then I went on and I was like whoa , no wonder people get confused . So I just thought why , okay , so like , why do we detox ? Because we have messed up our bodies and our world , like with pollution and chemicals and pesticides and Xenoestrogens and just it just goes on and on and we're all exposed every day in some form or fashion , and a body can handle a lot , but we have overwhelmed our bodies and some of us , like at my age , we store it too from when we were little , so we started getting it then and maybe our body couldn't handle it all . So it actually stores it in some of our fat dishes , stores it in our brain . It affects kids .

Speaker 1

Now , young kids , when it goes to their brain don't always lead to cancer , but it leads to all kinds of problems . Nothing good , nothing good . And so detoxing is not just for the cancer group , it's for everybody , it's really is . And I think if we make it simple and just understand it and we add little things on our way that make not just I'm going to detox for a day or I'm going to detox for a month , you make it part of your life , then it's a better way , I think .

Speaker 3

Like a hundred years ago , we probably no one needed to detox , right , because your body could handle what came in , because it was all natural . But , like I said , we screwed up everything .

Speaker 1

Yeah , no , lifestyles were different a hundred years ago . We didn't have the pollution and we were outside more . We did more physical work , we sweated more . Like think about our lifestyle . They didn't have internet , they weren't locked in a room all day and most of the time we're inside all day , but people a hundred years ago were more outside , more for sure , for sure .

Speaker 1

What do we need to do ? Yeah , step one . Step one is stop putting the bad stuff in . Okay , you can't say I'm going to start taking it out . How about you stop what's pouring in ? And that is number one .

Speaker 1

So number one all the time is nutrition . So let's clean up our diets . Just how about you start with eating clean , whole food , real food , not manmade food , not manmade food . I used to say nothing in a package , but you know almonds come in a package so you can eat almonds if there's nothing added to them . So try to eat for a while , for all the time , like think less manmade , no more potato chips , no more . You know , like whole food , real food , that's it , whether you cook it , whether you eat it raw , whether you juice it , just eat real food . That's number one and stop putting in the bad stuff . Number two .

Speaker 1

Water is then there with food . Usually , when people call me and they ask what should I do with my cancer , number one is I go how clean is your water and do you have a filter ? So you got to filter your water because , because of our world today and how we run water through pipes , we have to chlorinate it and kill it . So we kill everything . But chlorine is not good for us and fluoride is not good for us . So you need a filter that gets rid of lots those two and a lot of other things . So reverse osmosis takes everything out . So , whether it's a water thing on your counter or you do on your whole house , you need to clean your water . If you can only do one on the counter , then you need a shower filter too . It's a little filter you put on your takes chlorine out . Some take chlorine out fluoride , so you're not putting it on your skin because your skin absorbs . I've had people say my hero looks better , my skin feels better , just by putting a filter on your shower head . It's very simple . They last a few six months . Change it out . I can do it , you can do it . So definitely your shower and what you drink . So they stop coming in .

Speaker 1

Then you got to clean up your cleaning products at home . What you're cleaning with you can clean with vinegar and water . It's actually cheaper products cheaper than buying all the fancy stuff . How about cleaning with , like Dr Bonner soap ? You know , use that for your shampoo , your soap and your shower clean toothpaste with no fluoride . So all this stuff takes a while like , oh , I got to buy a new kind of toothpaste . I got to buy different cleaning products that don't annihilate you when you walk in the house as Clorox and all those foooms . You do not need all that .

Speaker 1

Vinegar and water cleans a lot . A lot of people add essential oils to it and there's a way to look up all these products . There's a website called the EWG . It's called the Environmental Working Group , and in the beginning they didn't have a lot of products . They actually have a lab and they test products . So you could look up a product and it rates it A , b , c , d . It'll tell you what's the bad stuff in it , what's the good , and in the beginning it was hard to like . You would look up all the A stuff , like shampoo , and you'd say , well , where do I find that one ? It'd be some obscure girl that's making it in Tennessee or something you know . But now there's more mainstream products and you can find it . So I mean you could go through the trouble of finding some oddball whatever , but it has gotten so much easier and using that , they do incredible work . It's called the EWG Environmental Working Group . They do household products , hair products , personal products , just all kinds of products . So from head to toe brush , teeth , with all kinds of stuff . So it's a great , great website . Just look up all the A stuff . If you can change something and you want to pick something , I would go there .

Speaker 1

And the third thing is your emotions . You have to clean what you're bringing in . Is it conflict ? Is it anger ? Is it you know ? Just , you need to get stop bringing all that in Now . It's easier said than done .

Speaker 1

There's a lot of programs and there's a lot of ways , and we'll talk about it a little more later , but that's my third thing . So one is what you eat , one is what you put on you , what you smell . And then the third thing is your emotions . Okay , stop bringing all the bad stuff in . Then we got to take it out . We want to take it out and we want to support what our body does right . So your kidneys clean , your liver cleans your lung . So if you work in a factory that was had smoke in it , then you were getting sick . You might have lung cancer without even smoking , so you would want to get out of that environment . How do you clean up your lungs ? Well , open the windows . So basic stuff . There are brutal and hardcore ways to detox and it's for severe people that worked in a factory or they were in a nuclear disaster or miners .

Speaker 1

Yeah , major , major issues , like you had a lot of mercury or in your body for some .

Speaker 3

whatever reason , Work with kids .

Speaker 1

So you want to help it get out . So how do we help nutrition ? Number one what do we eat ? Okay , you're going to eat whole food , but it's better if you eat ones that have sulfur and it cause . Sulfur helps you detox . So sulfuric , sulfur foods are Eucrusiferous broccoli , cauliflower , brussels sprouts , bok choy , garlic , onions . All those are powerhouses . Not that the other vegetables are bad and you need to eat them all , but if you pee in on those you will start detoxing better . You help your body , you help all those organs work better .

Speaker 1

You could eat them in sauteum , cook them , steam them , put them in soups , juice them . However you want to eat them . You got to add them to your world . And then there's some that are like superpower , like if you're in a juice or do smoothies , add cilantro and parsley and ginger in with all your greens . So cilantro , parsley really pulled the metals out . We all have a lot of aluminum in us because we drank all those sodas , we had all those vaccines that had aluminum . We have it , trust me , we have aluminum , and so that helps pull them out .

Speaker 1

I remember Dr Gonzalez making one of his patients she would put , she'd say , a handful of parsley every day in my juicer or a handful in my smoothie . They're powerful . All the greens are powerful because they have chlorophyll . Chlorophyll just binds to the toxins and pulls them out . If you drank too much greens you would actually get sick because your liver , you would overact your liver , and so just by adding a little all the time , you're doing a little every day . So if you added just parsley , cilantro and all your greens , you would hate it and you wouldn't do it anymore . You would make a horrible tasting smoothie , which you don't have to do . You don't have to do . I say low and slow and add it slowly .

Speaker 3

Hiding the salad right it mixes up with . Yeah .

Speaker 1

You put cilantro in guacamole , right ? Yeah , a little bit as a topping . I always eat it . I always eat the garnish . I eat all the garnishes . Now , it's not just there , for sure .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that's true . Now let me ask you a question about the metal thing , because I was just wondering about that , because sometimes , like my wife not to mention any names , but my wife she broke , she actually , her two fingers and a thumb went through a quarter inch gap through these , a metal wheel of the Emmings . Basically , she snapped her fingers and didn't just break them , I mean totally .

Speaker 1

Wow .

Speaker 3

And obviously they had to screw everything back together . So she's got a lot of metal in her hand .

Speaker 1

Typically those are stainless steel , though .

Speaker 3

Okay , so that's not as much of an issue .

Speaker 1

No , aluminum is not a strong metal . It would not be aluminum . Think about aluminum foil . It's soft .

Speaker 3

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Impliable , but I know some surgeons and most of them are . All the tools are stainless steel . I used to work in an office . We would clean them , scrub them .

Speaker 3

Okay , I've always wondered about that with her hand , because I mean your body doesn't like it .

Speaker 1

sometimes Some people have to have the screws removed because it gets annoying or

Detoxing and Healthy Habits

Speaker 1

irritated . But typically think about knees and now hips and knees and screws they're everywhere and everybody's ankles .

Speaker 3

Yes , but fillings , that's bad .

Speaker 1

They are bad and I had a ton . I had a lot . I'm slowly taking them all out . If you take them out the right way , people will go . I'll just go to my dentist and he'll replace all my fillings . Well , they get sick . They will get sicker . So be careful how you do it . It's just like you have water disaster in your house and they go . You have bestos . Well , they make you get out of the house and they come with hazmat suits to pull that bestos out . Well , same with mercury they wear hazmat suits .

Speaker 3

All right Biological dentist for that .

Speaker 1

Yes , totally , or it's better not to do it . If you can't afford it , it's better not to do it . So simple things that you can do . I'm just going . These are free and simple . Yes , in the morning , the first thing you do is drink lemon water every day . Half a lemon lemon , squeeze it or juice it for the week and then keep lemon in a refrigerator and just pour a little lemon water Cleans out your digestive system , gets everything working better . For the day , drink green tea . I know it doesn't taste great . Maybe try to make it taste a little better with little honey or stevia , but green tea is powerful . Anything green , I'm telling you , is powerful . Dandelion tea and milk , thistle and chamomile . At night it's like the tea to go to bed with .

Speaker 3

You got all three of those . How excited am I .

Speaker 1

It doesn't taste as good , so try to make it just better . It's a good night tea . It's giving your liver a kiss . It's just so good for your liver . Every night , if you do one of those teas just before you go to bed , you're really helping your liver At night , you are really healing and detoxing and you don't want to eat close to bedtime because you don't want your body working on digestion .

Speaker 1

You want it ready to work on you . So three to four hours before bedtime , do not eat , if you can Try . So eat your meal . Eat it hard enough that you're not hungry and snacky . I know that's hard , I am too , and I stay busy . But if I don't eat enough at lunch and dinner , I'm snacking . So try to eat enough . A balanced diet where you get your proteins , carbs and fats in your meals so you're not hungry and go to bed . Go to bed . I know people my brother is like I can't eat Unless I have a bowl of cereal before bed . I'm like what that is so bad ? So then your body's got to deal with digestion instead of the enzymes working on healing . It's important and then get a good night's sleep . So if you stop eating at 6 or 7 and then don't eat till 8 , 10 in the morning .

Speaker 1

You've done intermittent fasting , which helps , which is another way to detox . Take hot , cold showers , cycling so at the end of your shower and you're all soaked up and you're nice and clean . Turn it to cold for 30 seconds , get in there . You could do it 60 seconds . You're even better . Now some people will buy a cold plunge , spend all that money , put ice in it , dunk themselves . You could do all that , but you could just do it in your shower every day , 30 seconds . It is so powerful . They've done studies on everything I'm saying has a study and you'll see that they don't get sick as much if they did it for a month in a row . That is just so simple . There used to be a detox lady and she would come to your house and that was one of the things she said . She'd put that cold shower on and hold them in the shower .

Speaker 3

And I like her .

Speaker 1

I know it's very hard to do because I like to be warm , but 30 seconds you just start . 10 , 20 , do it Breathing , breathe , long , deep breaths . When you feel yourself stressed in the morning , dr Gonzalez used to say just swing your arms up , swing your arms down . 10 long , deep breaths , three times a day . Whenever you think about it , you get off your chair , take a long , deep breath , in and out . Longer out than in is better . Long , slow , deep breaths . You're cleaning out your lungs . You're getting deeper in your gut .

Speaker 3

OK .

Speaker 1

Dry brushing . You get that stiff brush and you brush your skin . You're kind of stimulating your lymphatic system and you're getting dry dead cells off your skin . You always brush towards your heart and at first you're real sensitive and you're like , oh , ooh , because the brush is stiff and your skin is dry . Do it before you shower . But after a while you start liking it and it actually feels good . You'll feel your skin tingle . Your skin will look healthier . You can even do your face . But you've got to do it a little less rough or you'll be red face .

Speaker 1

I have a Korean friend that she buys me these little . The Koreans were big into skin brushing and if you ever go to a Korean spa you will see the mom and the daughter or son . They scrub their bodies at least two , three times a week with this little hand mitt and they're brutal , like if you have them do it to you . You are like oh , oh , but they scrub their bodies and get rid of all . It's stimulating to your lymphatic system . That's part of their culture . We don't do it , but it's powerful , it's powerful . So I use that hand mitt in my shower . I do it . So I do dry brushing and wet brushing Exercise . Well , everybody knows movements are powerful . So moving is your lymphatic system that you are moving , getting your muscles moving , getting your whole lymphatics that don't have a heart pump . So any kind of movement , whether it's yoga , jumping , rebounding , even standing still and just jiggling Hell .

Speaker 3

Caged fighting .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I have my older brother . I'm like , before you do your exercise , just get up and move . And he said he pulls less muscles you know like he's because he's stiff and his joints hurt . He said it helps me so much Just get your blood moving , so just wiggle . And then I read like twisting , which we do in yoga . But you could just twist or sweep the floors or sweep your garage out with a good old big broom and use both sides , Sweep with both sides right or shovel the snow . You are twisting your organs . You're actually twisting your liver and your kidney , kind of giving it a squeeze . So we do it in yoga , we hold it and you breathe , but sweeping is powerful and you're cleaning . You're getting two things done . You laugh .

Speaker 3

Well , I do . First of all I'm happy . But secondly , I think my neighbors are always saying do you want to borrow my leaf blower ? Because it's more manly to have a big machine in your hand . But I take my just regular old broom and I sweep my old driveway , just because it's therapeutic to me .

Speaker 1

It is .

Speaker 3

It's powerful , Manly , but still it's more healthy .

Speaker 1

And those leaf blowers . The noise pollution is horrible . And then when you take a bath , put some epsom salt and stay in the bath . Make it really hot , sweat , sweating . We don't sweat on a , do you know ? You're supposed to sweat every day . That's yeah . And that's hard for you and me because we're cold Nature and we live right now . It's cold in our climates . But if you could sweat , get in the tub , get in a sauna . If you don't have a sauna , get in your tub , make it really hot until you are sweating , or go do work , run up and down the stairs until you're sweating . Exercise till you're sweating . Sweating cleans your pores Like it detoxes you .

Speaker 1

So I'll tell you a story . When I started a lot of green juicing , I used to green juice every day or have a green smoothie and then I would go do my yoga and I noticed that I was smelling like the odor during yoga . When I was starting to work , my odor was so strong when I had the green juice before my exercise and that's because the green juice is pulling stuff out , and here I am helping it come out by sweating and I'd have to get up out of the class and go wipe my pits like , because I couldn't even stand the smell . It could smell and I think the combination is powerful . So go do a green juice , go do the green smoothie , go do your exercise to help it pull out all the way . That's part of what phase one , phase two , that's why garlic and the cruciferous sec those all help that . Sulfur helps pull it out .

Speaker 1

There's enemas . Now I know you heard that word before and it's a powerful word , but you could do simple enemas of just a little bit of aloe juice or lemon water and it kind of cleans your intestines out . That's after you have relieved yourself . And there's also coffee enemas , which is a heavy duty detox that a lot of cancer people use and you need to get into it . We have things on our web that you can look at Healing Strong . Go Google it . There's a lot of information on coffee enemas .

Speaker 1

What it does is stimulate your liver to release bile , so it stimulates it to help it detox . It's just giving your liver a kickstart , which typically in cancer people . They're overloaded with toxins and their liver's not working as well , or they've done chemo or whatever A lot of chemicals or drugs trying to get better , or their whole life they're on pharmaceuticals , like their body's overloaded and it just helps clean it out . There's clinics in Mexico that are holistic clinics . Before they'll take you , they look at your liver . They want to see your liver enzymes because they don't want you coming if your liver can't handle the detoxes they're going to do , if it's too weak they already know . So they want to see you got to keep your liver clean and that's why I say that nightly tea a little every day for everybody . So where you are and where I am , we just got to stay on our journey . You know what I mean . Just help it every day .

Speaker 3

How does Juan ? Here's a simple question that everyone knows about me how do you find out what condition your liver is in through blood tests ?

Speaker 1

Well , there are blood tests and I would say , depending on the doctor looking at him , how he would rate your liver . But probably a typical CBC has a little bit of your liver enzyme . There's quite a few now

Detoxing From Fatty Liver Disease

Speaker 1

.

Speaker 1

I can't name them off the top of my head , but I know there's a few , and a lot of people have fatty liver and they used to attribute that to alcohol . But that's now it's not . It's what they're eating and all the junk in their body . A lot of them need to do these kind of detoxes . I've had a lot of people tell me I have fatty liver , I don't even drink . The doctor's going , you must drink . Then they go no , I don't drink any alcohol . Well , they're just clocked up and their liver can't handle it . Even there's a lot on the web . Dr Berg talks about fatty liver disease . So many people have it . Just give your liver some support by doing all of this , by what you eat and what you drink and sleeping so important . So if you go to bed early , not with a full stomach , get a good night's sleep , take your phones out of your room , turn your Wi-Fi's off . People go what ? I can't turn my Wi-Fi off . Yes , you can .

Speaker 3

It's what it's going to do these days , isn't it ?

Speaker 1

It's hard for me . It's hard for me to let go of my phone . Try to go maybe an hour a day without it , but when you're sleeping is when you're healing . It is the most important part . Not to have it so , even charging in your room , take it out of the room and charge it in another room . Even better , turn your Wi-Fi off for the whole house . Yeah , the whole house . You could buy something fancy . I see them . I go to all these health shows . They have now something you hook up to , and it hooks up to your modem , and you could turn everything off . Or you could just buy a timer , a $10 timer , put it on your bag and tear your Wi-Fi off .

Speaker 1

Now , if you were in an apartment , you're going to get everybody else's Wi-Fi . You're out of luck . You are out of luck because if you look at your phone , the Wi-Fi connections , you can see how many things are trying to connect to you , notice how many things are coming at you . Turn your Wi-Fi off , though , so if you can get away from them . I've even asked neighbors hey , how about we both turn our Wi-Fi off at night ? And they're like oh okay , that's fine , because people are getting stronger and stronger . Like I work at home and I need petroleum megabits or whatever . So if you're in a house it's easier .

Speaker 1

There are things that help block it . They're expensive but there are some cheap and dirties . One natural path told me to go to the hardware store and go buy grounding rods . You know those copper grounding rods . Cut them in half , have Home Depot cut them in half . Four foot grounding rods , put about four under your bed , four or five , and it kind of copper blocks , emf . So in addition to turning off your phone , put copper around you . And if you look at most of the EMF stuff blockers that they sell they're made with copper , copper's blocks . So that's a cheap and dirty .

Speaker 1

And she told me she used to do it for kids that they couldn't sleep and they were having a lot of autistic kids or having a lot of problems and they would put it under their bed and they would do so much better , so much better , wow , yeah , just sometimes it's something simple . Even I've heard where they're trying to get aluminum out of children and it won't release . So they're giving them heavy duty stuff to pull it or maybe even just doing a foot bath to get rid of aluminum , but when they turn off the EMFs at their house or Wi-Fi also , the aluminum starts coming out of their body . So , emfs , we don't know everything they're doing , but they're messing with it . We are electrical and it's messing with us and I believe them , so there , Wow Okay .

Speaker 1

So at night , even if you don't turn your cell off , turn your Wi-Fi off .

Speaker 3

Right .

Speaker 1

The Wi-Fi is coming at you Right the cell's more the other way . I turn it off when I drive . I don't want all those Wi-Fi's when I'm driving down the road trying to connect to me . Yeah , that's what I think about . I've heard so many lectures by Wi-Fi people that it's enough to freak you out . And they sell baby hats that block them . They sell clothes that block them . You could buy a hat . You could buy people that want their fertility Good , they have underwear that block them . They have it all . They have it all , I promise you .

Speaker 3

I just could play it farm . That's what I'm going to do yeah . Help the country somewhere .

Speaker 1

I'll just say and just make it less you know , we live in a world . We can't live without our phones . Just less of it , just less .

Speaker 3

And if we do all that which is pretty simple , you know they're not hard Get down and then , of course , you're always going to have a doctor who understands all this . That could just watch what it is you need . Maybe you need to do something more of something else , or you need to concentrate on part of that . Yeah , as long as you have someone who has a lot more knowledge about it , watch it what you're doing .

Speaker 1

There's not many . There's not many doctors ?

Speaker 3

There's not , but I'm going to find anyone .

Speaker 1

So the other thing , the last thing to put in , is remember I said you had to take out the negative emotions and forgive . Well , is to put in happiness gratitude . Every night , maybe a few times a day , you think of three things you're grateful for . And even if you're having a bad time , you be thankful . You have a pillow , that you have a blanket , so be grateful for that . You have to find a good pillow too .

Speaker 1

So it sounds silly , but they have done studies on it that it's three times a day you do that . They could see they measure the natural killer cells in your body and prove if you go for a walk in the woods every day , or nature or go to the beach , that changes your cells . How powerful is that ? They have actually measured it . And so I used to poo , poo all the emotional stuff . I don't want to hear that . I just want to know what to take . Tell me , do I need saline ? I'm like , just tell me what capsules to take , who you can find all that out to , yeah , but the powerful stuff is the free stuff . I'm telling you and your doctors don't even mention it what you breathe , what you think , what you eat , those are free and they don't talk about it .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I read something yesterday about how people who live on the coast right by a beach and spend time on the beach I mean just laying out under the sun with just being there and listening to the waves they are healthier , there's less stress in their lives , and so that makes sense . That's why I don't like laying out on the beach . I don't like when it's crowded , I don't like where it's stinking hot , but I just love sitting there and listening to the waves coming in and just calm . I like it in the evening when the sun's going down , or the morning when it's popping up .

Speaker 1

Push , usually barefoot , and you're grounding . We didn't even get into grounding and that sounds really woohoo . But take your shoes off and your socks and go in your backyard If it's not too cold .

Speaker 3

Yeah , and ground what's , so milk .

Speaker 1

They sell grounding sheets . They sell , but you could buy all that or you could just go outside barefoot for five minutes and ground you know when I tell them there's free stuff or you could do it the complicated , expensive way to do all this .

Speaker 3

Okay , I'm going to be a new person next time I see you .

Speaker 1

Low and slow .

Speaker 3

And go fast . Well , I think that gave us a lot of information . In fact , my brain is full , so I'm going to have to let you go on that . But if you're listening to this podcast and you haven't heard Christine's story , it is . I forgot how long ago . You're near the beginning of all these . I think I spoke to you , but you tell your story , your healing story .

Speaker 1

It was a while ago .

Speaker 3

Yeah , you were just a kid .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I know , but it's taken me this long to learn . Make it simple and keep it simple .

Speaker 3

Yes .

Speaker 1

You know I mean , it's hard to stay on your journey all the time , but if you a little out of time and add it all , it's simple . I try to eat something green or drink something green every day , I don't care what , it is Green .

Speaker 3

Yeah , when's the next time you're coming through on your bike through the Greenville Swamp Rabbit Trail ?

Speaker 1

I love Greenville . I love Greenville .

Speaker 3
