And sometimes through my life, I would have something come up but nothing nearly as serious as this.
So when I spoke to him about this on the telephone, he told me, listen, you are genetically predisposed to this problem.
And you simply have to go and let the medical professionals do what they have to do.
And my concern was that I expressed to him about my uncle Bob and my uncle Don, who died at the hands of medical treatment 26 years ago, and that there has to be a better way.
And he assured me that there is no other way, because if it's not double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized studies on things you can do for your health, then there's no authority, there's no vindication that what you're going to do is gonna work.
A lot of people in the natural healing space have unique opinions that are their own, and they're often very conflicted with each other.
Whereas one person says to do this and the other person says to do the opposite, and yet they're all claiming to have knowledge and answers on what you can do if something comes up like this.
Now, whether it's a very serious life-threatening thing or just a chronic problem or a disease that takes away your quality of life, They have a certain set way of doing things that they're taught in medical school.
So I wanted to go and find what was called alternative ways of learning how to deal with this.
And my brother told me immediately when I said I wanted to do that, He said, literally, you're committing suicide.
There's nothing but a bunch of snake oil salesmen out there and people who have no authority to suggest anything to you.
