00:19Thank you for listening.
00:30So for the better part of the past decade, most people don't know this, but I suffered in silence battling
00:36a deadly mystery illness.
00:39And other than a very small circle of family and friends, I hid it from the rest of the world.
00:44And until recently, hadn't really shared what I'd gone through.
00:58I saw the best doctors in the world. None of them could explain what started my illness.
01:03And all their attempts to treat it with high-powered biologic drugs only exacerbated my symptoms and then unlocked a
01:10host of brutal side effects that wound up plaguing me for years.
01:16And then in attempts to buy myself time, I underwent very serious operations and procedures that mutilated parts of my
01:25body and left me so weak at times that I couldn't stand up or walk.
01:31I spent months and months heavily medicated while dealing with excruciating, but it's a chronic pain.
01:47Maybe what happened to me wasn't random.
01:50And then in order to heal my mind, my body, my spirit, all had to align and I needed to
01:59become open to some really radical and unorthodox techniques and ideas that lie beyond the boundaries of Western medicine.
02:10If you're out there and you're suffering, then there's hope.
