Most Confusing Call Ever? Man Describes Bizarre Physical Experiences | Matt Dillahunty + Arden Hart 

"My wife's cancer was cured by an 80 year old medicine woman in the Amazon jungle - I'm calling to talk about my Yoga sessions"

im confused. did the caller just skip the possible cure for spinal cancer because he wanted to tell us that, when meditating, he can bend in ways he usually cant?

His "wife couldn't move".....but she was able to stand a plane ride all the way to the Amazon??!!

So... his wife was suffering from terminal cancer, couldn't even move, yet she got on a plane, flew to Brazil, and traveled out in the middle of the Amazon jungle to be treated by an 80-year-old shaman, a short two weeks later she magically had zero cancer in her body, and none of the doctors who examined her after wrote up anything in any medical journals? Why am I finding this story impossible to believe?

As a brazilian guy, I must say that if I knew that there are shamans in Amazônia curing cancer with rituals, my mother didn't need to pass through over 2 breast cancer surgerys.

I enjoy that he'd rather talk about how his body can do weird twists during meditation, than his wife who was cured of "stage 4" spine cancer

If he has a PHD in physics, I'm a Martian gondolier

This is an example of someone (and her husband) so desperate for a cure, that they ignore the actual treatment and give credit to some unknown activity in the jungle. Facts he stated: - Wife had spinal cancer and underwent chemotherapy - She underwent surgery as well (and the cancer was removed) - She lived long enough to require follow-up surgery to the spine (plates needed to be added for stability) After that: - They went to the jungle and performed "advanced yoga" and spiritual "healings." - Now wife is cancer-free (I assume in remission) But the guy credits the jungle woman's actions for his wife's "cure" not the months and amount of modern medicine care. It's absolutely bizarre to listen to this and think he really believes it. This is exactly the same mindset believers have giving credit to God instead of doctors who have spent decades learning how to cure disease and the pharma companies developing drugs and products to treat/cure disease. It's very saddening to think people are so easily duped. Wonder how much $$$$ they spent on that jungle trip and how much did they give to that shaman?

More "Biblically" trolling the show.

A PHD physicist who took his wife to the Amazon jungle to seek a cure for her cancer. WOW! That's what I call a man of science.

I'm finding it difficult to believe that Steven has a PhD in anything, but if he's telling the truth, that's going to leave me with a lot of questions.

Hasn't this person phoned in under the name Biblically? Voice sounds similar.

So she had months to live and within a week the cancer was removed, and you're not submitting this to every health journal in the country

A PhD in physics that has clearly never seen cirque du soleil or rhythm gymnastics. His head's gonna explode if he sees one of those performances!

My wife almost died of spinal cancer, but we went into the rainforest got bitten by an old lady and was cured from cancer, BUT let me show you what I can do in yoga! Sick spine movement brah!

My wife has Dystonia which is a neuromuscular disorder. Basically it’s Involuntary muscle movement of voluntary muscles which she cannot reproduce when she is not symptomatic. This is a normal non-normal movement expressed by her brain. Maybe Aussie dude should see a neurologist. Because this disorder is action induced. So when he does yoga movement it happens. PLEASE SEE A NEUROLOGIST!! It took my wife 3-4 years to be diagnosed. It’s a progressive disease in which there is no cure. Just treatments for symptoms.

OMFG. I dont know why but this was hilarious. And hats off to you guys for your patience. 27 minutes in we are at "if I'm relaxed my body makes weird movements".

For a physicist he’s sure into a lot of wooo

This sounds exactly like the dude that said he had a sexual relationship with god ...

Steven's whole story sounds more than a little suspicious. I might be wrong but I strongly suspect that he's a Poe/LARPer at best. What specific type of cancer was in his wife's spine? Why didn't he credit her medical treatment? Why isn't she in the call too? Is he aware that cancer is just a general term and that different cancers require different treatments? How did the witchdoctor know which type of treatment to give for her cancer? Why didn't they try to at least document this cure? And so on...

Is this just the Biblically guy who has called into pretty much every other atheist show? His pattern of speech and voice are exactly the same. He's just trolling with a different subject now.

My ex-husband's dad had a PhD in solid state physics...he almost broke the printer because it was "broken" when the problem was that it was unplugged. Degrees =/= intellegence.

I had an infection so I went to the doctor and got medicine proven to cure it. Then AFTER I took all the medicine, I prayed to a toaster to make me better, so it must have been the prayer. Also, I had convulsions, so that must be a miracle.

Wait, what does phd in physics have to do with AI research? Also, I want a t-shirt that says “it’s not seizures, it’s involuntary yoga”

I had a tumor. I decided to take my kids to Disneyland while I was relatively still healthy so my kids would have a happy memory. Two months later the tumor was gone, and I was completely cancer free. Was it a miracle?

PhD physicist and he didn’t bother to ask what the medicine was?

Why the fuck wouldn't he point researchers to this healer? There are researchers scouring the Amazon for various plants with medical benefits: including helping with cancer treatment. Maybe this woman or the people in that area have stumbled on something effective in cancer treatment. It could be worth studying and potentially running trials on: making sure it wasn't just spontaneous remission in this case.Why the fuck wouldn't you want to possibly help with the treatment of cancer? Colour me dubious of his story...

So he started talking about his wife's stage 4 spine cancer, & rapidly began talking about contorting his body. But she was cured & he didn't bother presenting his evidence to have to medical science to be reviewed or studied by doctors. Sounds legit!

so supernatural stretching? great story, bro. CLICK

I feel really sorry for Steven’s fellow engineers sitting in a meeting and Steven is making a presentation about engineering subject!

This is the kind of blabbering that has certainly earned him a lot of approval in some circles. Now he is astonished by the queries and lacks answers.

A good example of how intelligence and eduation are still no guarantee that a person will be logical, rational and non gullible.

I am 3:30 into this . The guy just said he has a PhD in physics and is the “head of AI research”, but I swear I recognize his voice from a prior show. Is this the same caller who told Forest and Matt that he had a sexual relationship with God?

Steven has a rich fantasy life.

“And when they went to their church They shook and lurched all over the church floor He couldn't quite explain it They'd always just gone there Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”

He needs to talk to a doctor about hypermobility issues. He may have HEDS (Hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) or some other hypermobility or connective tissue disorder. Not many doctors check for these rare disorders unless they are specialists aware of these issues.

“I have a PhD in physics and I’m the head of research of artificial intelligence.” Awesome. Excuse me, I’m off to hire a dentist to fix my car.

Congrats on getting that verification check mark and 100k!

Is this not the same guy who called in a few weeks ago saying he was in a sexual relationship with jesus?

So his wife went through a whole battery of chemotherapy and surgeries but the PHD physicist is convinced chanting and yoga cured it instead of the actual treatment? Makes perfect sense 😂

Sometimes my body twitches uncontrollably....especially when I'm around a bake sale

So, it had nothing to do with his wife's Cancer🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I'm sure this caller as called before under numerous identitys

There is NO WAY that this guy has a PhD. His thinking is so confused and so poorly described that he'd have been thrown out in the first tutorial.

I am writing this because sometimes people who comment, jump to conclusions without thinking This is my speculative diagnosis, based on the story that Steven provides. This diagnosis only serves 1 purpose: to strengthen the viewers ability to notice when a person is in need and when someone is crying out for help. Lets first look at how Steven presents himself: 1. I am a non theist 2. I have a PhD in physics 3. I'm a head of research of artificial intelligence 4. I'm not one to actually look into details of facts and try to make conclusions Note how the 4th statement is out of sync with the first 3 statements. One would expect that a person that fits the description of the first 3 statements, would do the exact opposite of the 4th statement. Doctors of science typically are always looking for details and facts and draw conclusions from them. As a PhD, Steven is aware that the 4th statement creates a discrepancy. So why then would he be saying this? I can only guess, but in view of his whole story, i conclude that a traumatic experience has shifted his belief system, which caused it to conflict with his high cognitive abilities. Steven knows that what he experiences is the direct opposite of what he knows to be true. For some reason he is not ready to let go of the illusions that protect him from the dire truth: the aftermath of his traumatic experience. Now lets put Stevens story on a timeline to get a sequential overview of what happened. These are literal quotes from Stevens story, but put in a chronological order: 1. My wife: her father was diagnosed with terminal spine cancer. 2. She had spine cancer four years ago. 3. About three years ago, I went through a very traumatic situation with my wife . 4. She was on her last couple of weeks of living where she couldn't move. 5. We had no option left in Western medicine. 6. Someone told me that there could be alternative medicines. 7. So I convinced her to get on a plane and go. 8. We went to the Amazon jungle for seeking a medical cure for her terminal cancer. 9. In that process I was shown a number of things through her treatment. 10. Ever since that point in time I've been undergoing a lot of physical experiences myself. 11. After two weeks we came back. 12. She had all the test: she didn't have cancer in her spine. 13. Since she's undergone four spinal surgeries and she's doing fine. What follows is my analysis. I repeat that it is speculative but highly possible. 1. Stevens father-in-law was diagnosed with terminal spine cancer. One might ask what this has to do with his story, but apparently it seemed important enough for Steven to mention it. This indicated that this situation left a deep impression on Steven. He had first hand witnessed the suffering of a loved one by this particular disease, and he might have had difficulties finding a way to cope with the emotional burden that comes with this kind of stress situations. 2. Four years ago, Stevens wife also gets spine cancer. Since his father-in-law had the same disease, he kinda knows what is to be expected. But the disease is hitting a lot closer to home this time and therefore, the emotional burden hits twice as hard. Knowing what is about to happen and being powerless to deflect the oncoming catastrophe, must have been an excruciating process for Steven. It is possible that this is the point where Stevens emotional response gradually switched to panic mode. 3. 00:24 "I have a situation where about three years ago I went through a very traumatic situation with my wife." Listen to the tone of his voice when he says that sentence. It starts with a happy, high pitch and gradually descends to a lower pitch. when he reaches the last word, "wife", the tone is sad. The vocal expression of the sentence contains what is called an "emotional ambiguity". It reveals that Steven is concealing an emotion of sorrow by masking it with a lighter, more happy sounding tone. Also note the choice of words: "I have a situation", indicating that there is something that he cannot define. He is struggling to make sense of something that conflicts with his cognition. 4. Stevens wife was on her last couple of weeks living. Assuming that this diagnosis was provided by an oncologist, it is safe to say that at this point it has been decided to stop all curative treatments and transition to palliative treatment. I'm sorry having to say this so bluntly, but this means that the outcome of the affliction is now established: the patient will not survive. Medical experts will not draw this conclusion lightly: they will try and do anything within their power to save the patient. But when everything has failed they will also be honest and call it for what it is with a 100% certainty. At the time of Steven telling us this story, his wife is no longer with us.

Wait. Did I hear that congenital spine cancer was CURED during a visit to the Amazon???? So many questions.

"I spontaneously contort, but it's not seizures...it's yoga."

Why does this guy sound soooooo similar to the guy called "Biblically" ??? His accent is literally the same, and the tone of his voice is exact match.

I really enjoy it when Matt doesn't put up with nonsense. "I found someone with a cure for spinal cancer, but decided to keep it to myself... oh and I also get possessed and my body does yoga outside of my own control."

Great episode! Matt’s grumpiness is a fun contrast with Arden finding the humor in the topic.

Am I the only one wondering if this is the guy who said he's God's sidepiece?

Steven sounds suspiciously like another caller with an Australian accent and he falls into the same response pattern as said "other caller" when pressed. Im calling BULLSHIT💩!

In my younger days I experimented with different drugs and had what could be only described as woo experiences. As soon the effects of the drug wore off no one claimed anything mystical happened we just talked about the effects as the result of the brain being altered by the chemical. The fact he stated she had conventional treatments prior to this makes all this an exercise in annoying Matt.

Wow - my body moves and sometimes stretches. This is proof that the warrior unicorn is real and resides within my body.

It seems odd that he doesn't seem to know any of the technical/medical terms related to her cancer. If he's been associating with doctors about his wife, presumably for a few years, he'd know some medical terms. I think he's trolling. Also, he sounds a lot like that weird "god's perfect spouse" caller from Australia. Weird af

This was painful to hear. I have complex partial seizures, due to focal epilepsy. My seizures typically take the form of Jacksonian seizures. The head turning around as far back as possible, one hand on the floor and the spine twisting, hearing cracking, is exactly what my seizures look, and feel like (yes, I stay conscious during my seizures, albeit with some altered awareness). We *KNOW* deep meditative states can trigger seizures, and this man clearly describes having a partial seizure. He *NEEDS* to see a neurologist ASAP. Focal epilepsy sucks, but generally speaking it sucks less than other types. Still, it he's not diagnosed, he might be driving around, unaware that he is effectively a ticking time bomb. I'm not a doctor, but I've experienced seizures very much like what he describes, and if I were talking to him, I'd urge him to see a neurologist

After listening to Steven my mind was twisted and spasming real hard.

He should see me have an epileptic seizure- I contort in all sorts of shapes

This is why im stepping closer to antitheism every day. So many people are hurt, or even killed, through the horrible neglect that is faith healing. So many died completely preventable excruciating deaths because instead of a doctor, they chose oil. So many infants dead due to the same. So many people with illnesses that because they were neglected will haunt them the rest of their lives. So many people with mental illness getting exorcized instead of the help they need. And so many of these victims had no choice, due to age, money, or other issues. I dont care if they have "good intentions", the harm they do is unforgivable. And so much of this is seen as perfectly fine by too many people. Hell, one person is too many. Although I am glad that the callers wife coincidentally had their cancer go into remission at a similar time as doing that retreat. But if this works, why isn't this used in hospitals? Why aren't there papers on it?

Is it just me or does this guy sound exactly like biblically?

Does Arden remind anyone else of blue eye samurai? Idk I just watched that for the first time and I just see it (and it’s no bad thing, at all)

Im willing to bet stevens supposed experiences are the by product of gullibility, auto suggestion,subconscious projection, and some measure of deception especially with saying science supports his testimony etc.

Please make his contorting videos available

8:00 Wife miraculously cured of cancer by a witch doctor in the amazon, "but I want to talk about my weird yoga freak outs."

Why would a physicist be head of AI research ? How does a women who cant move get to the amazon jungle ? This is all made up or a delusion.

I got a toe cramp last night and I wasn’t meditating and I can’t make my toe move like that on my own. It must be magic.

He sounded a bit like the Biblically guy. And just as confused.

My eyes blink when i'm shitting..... And when i'm not shitting.

Steven with his Phd. is a fine example of what the poet Steve Harwell meant when he said, "Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb", in his crushing castigation of the perils of higher education.

I discovered a cure for cancer so he's calling a RU-vid talk show. Yeah right

I cannot believe this guy has a PhD in physics. Mine is in engineering and I can attest to the importance of making a logical, clear and concise arguments and suppositions. At the end of the day, you have to convince 5 professors that you have made a contribution to knowledge. This guy is the opposite.

This is a daft conversation, why didn't Stephen have the yoga session videoed, then we'd understand.

Bailing on a video 8s bad for the algorithm. This is a huge problem when they get callers like this lol

A shaman cured my wife of terminal cancer, so I want to talk about my twitching.

A hoax or coincidence otherwise there would be a huge group of people heading for the Amazon 😅.

This person's voice and general tone remind me of a certain flat earther.....

he found the cure for cancer... but boy, can he twist weird, that that is the most important part?

Wait I thought yoga came from eastern asia??? How is a south american shaman in the amazon teaching this??

a Nobel Peace Prize for finding a cure for cancer in the Amazon... nice

Where the hell his physics phd from? omfg.... hogwarts or some shit?

This makes me wonder why I'm not already a millionaire selling quack medicine. Oh wait, it's because I have moral standards.

this guy went to a BJJ kumite and got twistered

I swear I heard this caller somewhere else, before.

Seems he would have video of this occurring.

I made to 15:42 before I gave up the ghost. I am a born and raised Hoosier and "Steven," if that is your real name, is in the majority in this state.

Does Steven have a video of him turning himself inside out ?

I’m reminded of the Sean Connery movie “Medicine Man”.

This man is a compulsive liar in my honest opinion

If I came out of meditation or woke up one morning and found my knee behind my head or found myself sitting on the floor in a perfect cheerleader split I would have no problem calling that superpositioning. Beyond that yes I find the caller highly confused

I have seen contortionist, do some incredible things with their body. Like Dislocating joints etc. They didn’t have to be in a trance to do that. They just conditioned their bodies to be able to do it. There is absolutely zero need for mumbo-jumbo. 😂

No way does this guy have a PHD in physics, he is unlikely to be in any way head of any A.I. Also his voice is very familiar , I’m sure he has called several times before - at times a slight Australian accent I detect.

Word salad is not reserved for just theists.

I am a Kriyaban.........someone who is studying and practicing Kriya Yoga. This is taught by great masters of a disciplinic lineage from thousands of years ago. Kriya is a meditation technique and does not make you get convulsions or take control of your body. It is not associated with shamanism and is taught and practiced in about every country. I don't see the need to go to the Amazon to practice Kriya. I do it in a quiet place in my home. When someone is desperately seeking a cure for a terminal illness, they are generally willing to try anything to recover. I am glad that the man's wife has reportedly recovered but am concerned about him apparently allowing some "foreign force" take control of his body. I wish him and his wife well.

I think I just got dumber!

There’s no way any of this story is real. Is this not the RU-vidr that got banned from the show claiming he has a sexual relationship with God?

I have a similar story. The caller is talking about Santo Daime - ayahuasca. He was convulsing because he was tripping balls.

This whole call was weird as fuck

What an extraordinary waste of time spent wading through load of highly dubious and rather boring nonsense.

Some people indoctrinate themselves.

Why does this caller remind me of Biblically from Australia?
