Chronic illness opened my eyes to everything worth seeing, and saved me from myself.

When I turned 18 I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, I always had a crazy sleep schedule, months of depression followed by a week of insane energy and delight. With every year the cycle became more pronounced and detrimental to my life. Then one day, about a month and a half into a deep depressive episode where I was barely eating more than a small amount of bread a day, I went out and walked for about 14 hours straight, like I was walking to my death. Long story short I ended up in the hospital with Rhabdomyolysis, recovered, was released. Summarily went home and meditated for some reason unknown to me, since that meditative "experience" which I would fail to describe in less than an entire essay; I have not had a single bipolar episode since. It has been 3 years with no mood swings, changes in my sleep cycle or anything. I can't explain it at all.

Our mother used to say... there is no "disease" only "dis-ease" of the mind. Resonating infinite love and healing vibrations to you all.

I healed my Graves Disease. Once I was diagnosed, I lived in a state of victim mentality for about two months until I realized how awful the prescription drugs were for my liver (class D drugs with high rate of liver failure). Something in me snapped and the phrase ‘if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself’ came to mind. I threw the meds out. I was on a mental mission where there was magically no perceived failure going to happen. I changed my diet to GF, no processed, limited caffeine, no processed sugar and in 2 months I was healed. The he endocrinologist had never seen anything like it. That was 9 years ago, I’m still good to this day.

12:15 My mortality was realized early on, mom died of cancer when I was 6 and dad died of a heart attack when I was 14. I’ve never been anything but grateful for getting my moms heart and my dads anti cancer genes. I remain in exquisite health at 63. I’m healthy because I want that more than money or any other material pursuit…

My primary care doctor found a lump in my breast and I just told it to go away. I was on the brink of getting custody of my grandchildren and I just didn't have time to have cancer. The next time I went to the doctor, it was gone. She was completely baffled, but I didn't tell her what I had said because I was afraid that she would think I was crazy.

Sufference is often a catalyst to transcendence. My misery is an alchemical process of creating a healer out of my soul, from the body of someone afflicted. I am going through profound spiritual changes right now and this video is immensely serendipitous. I am grateful. It is helping me believe in my healing. God bless to anyone reading that needs hope. You are loved. I love you. Now it's your turn to love yourself, or selves..

"By his stripes we are healed". "Ask and it shall be given." Jesus is my healer. I have experienced instant healing from my Lord Jesus. I was amazed and truly humbled.

I'm sure that there is a spiritual component in us that plays a role in not only healing, but staying in good health.

The Body Believes Every Word You Say! 🙏🤗🙋💪

Praise the Lord our God

I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma today… just about the time this video was posted. Definitely timely, inspiring, and actionable. Thanks for keeping up the good work.

I am in great need of a spontaneous recovery.

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma last year.....my tumor was about 2 inches by 1 inch by 1.3 inches.....I denies chemo, I did not let myself succumb to mortal thoughts, I started hormone therapy and had a bilateral mastectomy....This year I have no tumors and evidence in my lymph nodes of cancer cells. Our bodies and our minds are the most powerful things in this universe.

I experienced a spontaneous healing of addictions about 9 years ago. It was immediate, literally from 1 minute to the next but had been preceded by quite a bit of personal reflection and shadow work. Pure grace.❤

Health is a mental state. Society is insane. By its own definition of normalcy, I'll choose to live according to my own standard and be an outcast for it.

3 years of horrible insomnia had already killed me once, for the damaged nervous system that I have to rebuild bit by bit, but I fucking managed to conquer this shit, now I'm on my own way of my unique evolution...

Jesus heals. Prayers for everyone suffering. 💖🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸

Mind is everything.

I am an alcoholic. I am 7 years sober now. I CHOSE my small children, my husband, and myself over drowning in my trauma and disease of "trying to make it go away." ❤

I did lose 70 lbs and kept it off for 14 years . I positively visioned myself as another healthier version and one day there i was

Holy s**t I thought this sounds too far fetched to believe, but spontaneous healing is a real thing. Incredible stuff

Survived last stage Hepatitis-A. Today I value my health much more and I am grateful for being alive.🙏🏻🙏🏻 Grateful for every little things in life.😊❤ Don't take your good health for granted.

Understanding oneself arises from attentively observing one's inner experiences with a tender curiosity; healing then follows this awareness.

Thank you for this video. Still learning at 74. Need to keep on and am working on self-transformation.

After a few days straight tripping on shrooomies saved my life once, i can see how a profound experience can change the entire body function.

Fell of a building nearly 4 weeks ago. Shattering a heel on the left foot was the greatest injury. While it is anticipated to be a few more months before i can walk again, I am confident in the body's repair systems and know it can be rebuild. My elbow once had 4+ fractures and came to be just fine. I intend to remain positive regarding this event and rely on my body's ability to heal itself now and in the future. Positivity is key. I think.

I believe, we all fall into illness many time during our lives, maybe even cancer, but mind and body gets us through, without a doctor, and pots of pills. When I do a kind act, I feel better, when I do selfish acts...not so good. Peace and goodwill.

Eight years ago, I was told by my urologist that the prostate cancer had spread following the surgery, and I had only a few months to live. MIraculously, psychological tenacity and some commonsense changes in nutrition (i.e. B17, apricot kernels, vitamin D supplements, intermittent fasting, eliminating sugar and bread from my diet) resulted in regression. I am now a strong believer of body's ability to heal itself.

Physiologically speaking, although there could be more to it than this, stress can suppress proper immune system function and wellness can improve it. Wellness vs. stress impacts other aspects of healing as well.

I love the way this guy talks

This gives me hope.

Don't have anything to comment, just want to help show support. Thanks for what you do

My father has been in a wheelchair for nine years and is learning to walk again. It might sound strange, but I believe that if he faces his trauma and anger ( he is a very angry, vindictive man and even got physical at times) he will be able to walk again. I believe God gave him this to force him to admit his psychological and spiritual pain.

"Illness may result from stress and may also provide the discomfort which initiates the individual changing, that is, the physical discomfort eventually exceeds the psychological discomfort which spawned it" - Dr. John Harrison

I was feeling sick yesterday, I had a body aches, fatigue, cough, slight fever. Slept it off, woke with this morning with this video on RU-vid feeling much better.

I contracted hepatitis c in 1989 and was put on Interferon for treatment in 2008. I told my body to heal completely and to eradicate the disease. After a week on treatment I received a call from my doctor informing me that the blood test results from the day or so before I started the injections showed no viral load so they asked me to test again. The second test showed no viral load and I stopped treatment. My liver has remained stable ever since and I have remained with an undetectable viral load.

the story in this video about the spontaneous remission of the pancreatic cancer is exactly what is described in the Dr Hamer Germanic New Medicine... we're going to there..finally

Thank you. for reinforcing our dwindling belief in the power that lies within.its not easy to give up societal conditioning and even more to cultivate courage face our fears that allow ourselves to transform. Listen....pay attention...LOVE!!!! Jung and the ancients got it right all we need to do is to develop the courage to be. more power to the channel for the invaluable content it provides.

Oh shit. Man’s gonna need a Rumble account pretty soon 😢

in some cases, the diagnosis and the subsequent treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy), which weaken the body are the reason why the body cannot heal itself. If they only left it alone. The body does have the ability to heal itself, at least in some cases.

Belief is such a powerful force that cannot be proved or disproved, it just is. I’ve always thought well it doesn’t hurt or take from me to simply believe, if it doesn’t work well too bad but I’ll continue believing because why not?

I’m not even joking this is synchronicity I was just healed from an illness on the 4 but I told no one because I knew they wouldn’t believe me then I see this video

i have severe anxiety,my physical symptons are what troubles me,so i was researching,and came across Dr Sarno's mind-body conection and it blew me away.This is the "new" fringe for medicine.

My father healed himself from Hepatitis C. A small fraction of those with Hepatitis C, have it for life. If we believe ourselves sick, we can believe ourselves well. This, I know, is anecdotal evidence- you can believe it or not. That’s a personal choice 🙏✌️✨❤️ Thank you for sharing these priceless gems of wisdom with the world, AofI. God Bless ❤

Hardest thing to admit is that we are responsible. It is easier to blame others.

I suffered from chirosis and i do believe change in psychological level in turn changes physical in good way. In middle of all my suffering i stoped taking medicine and indeed it was a rot to be in. I realized where i was wrong i did what i can cant be said but i believe what i needed to i accepted my denial and now i am healthy no chirosis, no pain no migraines. Healthy within healthy without.

People can heal themselves and others. I’ve done it multiple times.

Thanks for taking the time to put all this information together. This was so good to hear, because it put name, words and information about what I have found to be true for me and my life. I'm still on this journey and still learning how to help myself to recover from so much...again Thanks

I've been sick for 30 years after a dermatologist talked me into taking Accutane for my mild acne. I've tried everything to try to regenerate my body. Most supplements are bogus. The ones I recommend for sure are NAC and quercetin, also possibly r-lipoic acid. The king of all body regeneration is fasting. I've done 3, 5, 9, and 21 day water fasts. If your looking for a true detox/regeneration fast, 9 days is the minimum. 1 to 5 is cute but your body is still setting up for the actual fast which begins at day 5. Sauna and cold plunges also work. Intense exercise will help as well as long as it is intense enough to get you out of breath, red in the face and sweating profusely. This exercise will oxygenate your tissues as well trigger autophogy. The best exercise I've found is jiu jitsu. I'm currently looking into building a hyperbaric chamber, the data is promising. Of the hundreds of health books I've read the best single book for full body regeneration is "The Wahls protocol" . good luck.

The will to live can be an strong medicine, and is coded in the genome since the very start of life.

Everything happens for a reason we have to identify the cause of our desease and heal from Within.

I am from South Afric🇿🇦a this channel helps me confirm what I see on a daily basis🤦🏾‍♂️

Innerstand that you have the ability to keep yourself in excellent health.

One of the best channels on the web, period.

Nice to see a Gabor Mate quote... kudos!

It's like how it was discovered that the body turns off the anti-aging process for no reason when you're in your 30s

Wim Hof did it through breath work and meditation. Sound frequency can heal ailments. Keto and paleo diets heal chronic inflammation and improve longevity.

The opposite to this is also possible. My pop was doing fine, he was told he was dying and it affected him to the point he just gave up. Without any diagnosis I believe he would've lived another 5-10 yrs without issue.

I love this everything he said towards the end of this video is absolutely correct 👍 it’s great stuff

"Disease" is better understood as: dis-ease. I have only twice seen a doctor in the past 22 years; once for stitches for a hockey injury and in December for test for a chronic issue when I got scared and lost faith. I never went back to get the test results and I missed a cancer screening appointment. I will only see a doctor for physical injuries. Dis-eases aren't about the physical ailment, for me. They represent something being very off in one's life.

Its a gift from God ❤

"All the gods, all the heavens, all the worlds, are within us. They are magnified dreams, and dreams are manifestations in image form of the energies of the body in conflict with each other. That is what myth is." [JOSEPH CAMPBELL AND THE POWER OF MYTH, Ep. 1: ‘The Hero’s Adventure’; w Bill Moyers]

My biggest half sister recovered from a tumor wen she was 17 without any intervention. They lately find other masses on the neck and had chemio and radio therapy at 23. She is 46 now and healthy from then after. I am agnostic but her and part of the family are very religious and she was always really really positive since the start. I don't know what to think really.

Audio content always superb. But the art you share is breathtaking. Thank you. ⭐️

An idea for Academy of Ideas (for a theme to explore): the corporate world and its internal structure. The company's "values" that are hardly ever really followed, or only superficially. The cult-like mindset, with its own vocabulary and trends. The sycophant and posturing attitude (particularly in order to climb the chain of command). The blaming of others when something isn't done correctly. Putting on a mask in order to fit in... and so much more. Of course, I'm sure there are exceptions. Nevertheless, I keep observing what I described and I'm not the only one. I personally find it difficult to keep a job in modern day labour market (which is, in itself, a corporate term) because of all this. Even though I'm far from having a quarrelsome personality, I keep getting fired for refusing to follow some directives, even when they are not overtly mandatory. In the case of the corporate world, I have to fight a ghost, or a faceless monster, as when I win a argument against someone in charge, instead of saying "Ok, you're right", they send another manager or head of department to debate against me again. Or else, they don't say anything but they make sure I'll have my payback time. The positive side to this is that it forces me to stand up for myself, which is something I didn't do enough in the past . Yet, on the other hand, it's getting more difficult to find a source of income. It's a major issue in society, especially when small and medium-sized enterprises are disappearing. And I haven't even mentioned the philosophy behind the products and services they deliver 😂

The mind is powerful, but I'm skeptical whether it can heal a prolonged unhealthy life. What diet did these people that spontaneously recovered have? Many people have experienced miracles when switching to a keto diet with intermittent fasting. All my health problems disappeared when I stopped eating cheese, bread and sweets, and switched to keto with IF.

I've already said this. This channel is a blessing. Grateful.

Your videos are often so relatable to my thoughts, its kinda eerie 😅😂. I can concur with that ending especially. As someone living with Fibromyalgya, ive got to know myself pretty well. And learned many helpful lessons because of it!

Several years ago I came up with a formula that would activate self-healing. It was literally miraculous. It always worked. The only caveat was II never really knew what it would heal. It wasn't always the issue they were going for. One little boy was completely healed of an inoperable brain tumor. What I learned was, the emotion of guilt primarily serves to mask the real issues. in this case, the young boy's mother was harboring anger and resentment towards her father. Before she could do anything about it, he died. So now she felt guilty for having those feelings. When we got past that? Her debilitating agoraphobia over about a week, went away. She'd been bedridden for literally years. Her son's brain tumor as it turned out, was a response to feeling guilty about having something to do with his mother's illness. All of it stemmed from a sense of misplaced and mishandled guilt. It isn't always illness. Sometimes it's behaviors that you're trying to get rid of but can't. My husband overheard me teaching this. He used it with his smoking habit. To this day, he doesn't smoke. What happened literally overnight.

Having accompanied my husband to a cancer treatment center during his cancer, I would not do that myself. I'd go home, do what I could, arrange my affairs, and love my people. Surrounding myself with the desperately forlorn, accepting threatening "treatment" to stave off the inevitable was just too depressing, too damaging to my soul. The field is called "medicine" for a reason.

Thank you for the interesting video! Everything is in ourselves - sickness and heslth.

A gift endowed by the creator.

spot on....chi, happiness, zen buddhism, breathing technique, air eaters, ketosis, etc❤

Beautifull and very true what is said in this video.

This is what Unity Worldwide was founded on. Myrtle Fillmore had a terminal illness and she willed herself to heal. Then she and her husband formed the basis of Unity because of the experience.

love to see ciurlionis' art being used!!

5-7 day water fasting is supposed to be an excellent way to eat up early or undetected tumors

brilliant watch - thank you!

Really love your videos. They are very helpful in enriching one's life.

It Helps Not Poisoning Your Body [Smoking , Drinking , Drug Use , Junk Food] On A Daily Basis . ☠️

Recovery in a way that cannot be explained through the paradigm of modern medicine - just means that the picture of how the body works in modern medicine is so incomplete that it's just wrong.

Two weeks ago, I was unable to attend the burial of a friend who suffered a prolonged and agonizing demise, from cancer, due to someone else suddenly deciding to attend, which out of respect to others and to avoid potential conflict, I was at last minute left no choice but than to not attend. While recovery is possible for some people, it remains elusive for the vast majority. The video in question doesn't convey hope but rather underscores the occasional occurrence of rare and inexplicable events. To expect or believe in such an outcome is, regrettably, often a case of wishful thinking. It's important to consider a balanced perspective in regard to hope and the disappointment, when things don't turn out as we might like them.

Thanks for this. This is a very refreshing perspective on the generally sad situation of the world and the condition of the human mind in modern society. I believe it is very important to also show this other side of the coin. Even as small a chance there is to these phenomena, hope is what drives us.

Best video from you in a while. At least this one, my mind wasn’t resistant to the truths..

Food is your medicine and medicine is your food.

Fasting can heal many things, including cancer. Look into it.

Way before I've learned about matters of life and death, old knowledge and practices, about native peoples of the world approach to medicine, and so much more I've had the privilege to be exposed to, I always had the inner certain that I was able to heal myself. And I knew I was not unique and everyone else could do it as well. I hope and pray that more and more people can attune to the same vibe. Thanks for the video!

I wonder if Academy of Ideas would look into the psychology behind the current conflict in the Middle-East, or if such subject isn't relevant to the channel's work. I thought it could be interesting to consider how the concept of being chosen can shape a mentality as well as its relationship with others.

Love this so much. God bless!

You are brilliant Sir! A scholar to be sure. I am always impressed by the depth of your research and the ease with which you walk me through the dense material. You are helping thousands of people around the world! I hope the next time you afford yourself a fresh, cold beer - you reflect on that!

Thank You.

Excellent episode! Thanks!

So strange, not 1 hour ago I was daydreaming about how a confrontation with dying or the immanence of death might transform one’s experience of life. I just felt so extremely exhausted I could only wonder what might be the way to suffer less…

Dr Sarno showed me how to heal my back issues immediately by how I think & feel about it.

Thanks!

Well, please body heal quick from the psychological and emotional trauma. That's leading to this addictive cycle of alcoholism. What our parents did to us or didn't do for us sometime impossible for people to understand that had a normal childhood how deeply it scars you I know, I can't be a victim, I know I have to forgive, I know I can't wall up in self-pity. Maybe one day I will see the light, a lightbulb will go off in my head, and I will be fixed. If not, and My Son can go onto to lead a great life by learning from watching me fail, and that's fine, I can die happy.

Excellent. Thank you

I think the physician who had a regression of his glioblastoma whom you mentioned at 5 minutes may be French psychiatrist Dr Servan Schreiber. He eventually died of glioblastoma in 2011, 20 years after diagnosis.
