Quotes:

18:26 - “What I noticed now is that I removed a symptom and didn’t address the root cause - so now I’m starting to symptom hop. I smash down symptoms by removing my colon and all of a sudden it pops back up in a different way.”

23:18 - “Doctors are doing their best to heal their patients with what available to them.”

45:26 - “You’re never going to get well in the environment you got sick in.”

1:01:45 - “What you want is to experience the way you believe you’re going to feel when you get [what you visualize] and you don’t have to wait until some future event to feel those ways, you can feel that way now.”
