Today's Questions

Jackeline: "When you are going through the crazy cycle over and over again, you keep having the same issues and you want to reach out for help, but you're looking for something that's maybe more somatic over talk therapy. Is there anything that you would recommend for that? It would be great to know. Thanks a lot."

Dr. Stanton Hom: "Being someone who is a combat veteran, somebody who has seen his friends die in combat, I sit here in the wake of this four-year psychological operation. I'm curious what you think is the key right? The powers that be, those people pulling the puppet strings behind the systems, behind your doctors, your public health officials, your legislators don't care about you, are bringing the war to our devices and are bringing the war to our children. What are some of the top things you believe must rise to?"

Dana: "How come ADD or ADHD drugs are still being used to make a child or an adult and make may not be the right word but to perform or conform to society so the child can sit down at a desk why not have more outside time. I do find it interesting that those drugs are still being used and I feel, to be wrong, that those drugs lead to other later on in life. So why or how come are they still being used and promoted?"

[03:40] Somatic Therapy For Marriage

Let's hear what Jacqueline has to say.

Hey Josh, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you do and for all you share. My question is dealing with a relationship with marriage.

When you are going through the crazy cycle over and over again, you keep having the same issues and you want to reach out for help, but you're looking for something that's maybe more somatic over talk therapy. Is there anything that you would recommend for that? It would be great to know. Thanks a lot.

Okay. First of all, amazing question because who can not relate to that, right? Whether you've been in any relationship ever, or whether you're in a 5, 10, or 20-year marriage, these are all really important things to figure out how do we create the most loving place here?

How do we get to the most loving place within ourselves first? It is true nature, don't you agree Mar, that our partner is our teacher.

In other words, our triggers are invitations for us to look at what bothers us about ourselves. Have you felt that in some way?

100%. It Played out in a relationship that I had a couple of years ago in a way I didn't expect and never wished for but in the end, it showed me the things that I needed to look at and wasn't willing to look at Until I was completely forced to so yeah, they're definitely a teacher Yeah, Jacqueline.

I feel you so I'm I'm not in a marriage per se, but I'm in a five-year sacred union on its way to marriage at some point. And I also want to share with you, marriage is a construct that was brought to North America from a place that wasn't fully loving.

The original meaning of marriage I think, and I'm going to answer your question here, was to pass land and title.

We talked about this in an upcoming with Mark Groves and Kylie Macbeth where we really explored, not just the etymology of the word marriage, but also the origin of marriage.

So with that as a speaking point, as a jumping-off point, it's really important to go back to before you were married. Start with the end in mind, but also identify how you started the thing, whatever the thing is. So we're talking about marriage, a sacred relationship.

Think about if you could take a deep breath and just close your eyes right now. If you're in your car driving, don't do this, like pull over, but close your eyes, take a deep breath, and float 30,000 feet above your entire life.

And look at the most significant points in your marriage or in your relationship, go all the way back to the beginning, Jaclyn. Remember how you felt in your body and in your heart when you met your man, when you fell in love with him when you started to cultivate trust, and when you started to understand that he was the one you, and go back to that.

And feel in your body right now what it felt like then. Just take a moment, put your hand on your heart, put your hand on your stomach, take a big deep breath through your nose, feel your belly. Exhale, a couple more times while you're listening. And just know that that is still there...

[18:15] Freedom-Focused Care

Let's get to the next question. Okay, this next question is from Dr. Stanton Hom, who was a guest on the podcast and he's such an amazing chiropractor just freedom, I don't wanna say freedom fighter cause he's a freedom advocate, right? Whatever we fight against, we fuel.

So he's a great freedom advocate. He's an incredible father and podcast host. Make sure you check out Future Generations. Let's hear from Stanton.

My brother Josh, Dr. Stanton Hom here, future generations. I feel like I've been on a 3-and-a-half, 4-year deployment. Being someone who is a combat veteran, somebody who has seen his friends die in combat, I sit here in the wake of this four-year psychological operation.

I feel very blessed that you and I have had several conversations illuminating many of the sources, many of the root causes, but also many of the ways that humanity has responded in the most inspiring ways, but also in some of the most in many respects negligent or absent ways.

I'm curious what you think is the key right? The powers that be, those people pulling the puppet strings behind the systems, behind your doctors, your public health officials, your legislators don't care about you, are bringing the war to our devices and are bringing the war to our children. What are some of the top things you believe must rise to?

Wow, talk about a bomb drop question. Let's unpack it slow because... So Dr. Stanton is talking about what we've experienced in North America, which is, you know, USA and Canada.

But what happened in 2020 with the lockdowns and the COVID theater and the outsourcing of our own agency autonomy happened globally. And I'm sure you felt it as well, Mar wherever you were. And the way that I think we can start this conversation, it's quite nuanced would be, what are the actual facts that don't have anything to do with a narrative of interest?

What do I mean by that? The facts are that we are all feeling this interstitial tension. And I know we feel it all the time, whether it's government or policy or politics or finance or control or permitting at how many things we have to go through just to drive a car, just to own a home, just to be a human being in this world.

And quite frankly, what's really hard to swallow is that the United States of America, as well as all countries, are actually corporations.

Now, this is something you can easily search for. It is not the common narrative. So I'm gonna present things that I know, Stanton, you're on board with, but it's going to be very uncomfortable to hear.

All of us are being monetized at all times. We're being monetized at all times, specifically through 2 vehicles, anxiety and depression. And so really Stanton, the bulk of your question is where do we go from here and what do we get to focus on from here?

We first get to identify that these anxiety and depression, energy and motions, these energies we feel, they're actually our protectors.

And we talked about this last week where, you know, Mar, I think you even asked me, should we rename the title?

Because is anxiety and depression really self-love or is it something else? And it's a paradox because anxiety is a focus on the future. It's a fear of the future.

Depression is a rumination or a saturation of the past, shame, blame, what I could have done differently, did I fuck it up, blah, blah, blah.

And we're never gonna get out of these energies completely because it's what fuels human experience. In a way, it's the gas that fuels the car that is us. And so I think what we really get to do is take a deep breath.

And again, I love this analogy of floating above our timeline. Look at how you felt in 2020, in 2021, and even in 2022. And even now you still see these people wearing double masks in their cars, driving on the freeway alone. We have been indoctrinated by a narrative that is not for our good.

I'm not here to be fearful. I'm not here to paint this morbid picture, but that was a wake-up call for all of us. It was a massive wake-up call for us to take stock of exactly what is most important to us. And unfortunately, I think we felt the same. It's like people chose to cower...

[34:10] ADHD Myths

Let's go to our final question. Again, this is not medical advice. This is from Dana, and Dana is asking a very beautiful question about ADHD in children.

How come ADD or ADHD drugs are still being used to make a child or an adult and make may not be the right word but to perform or conform to society so the child can sit down at a desk why not have more outside time. I do find it interesting that those drugs are still being used and I feel, to be wrong, that those drugs lead to other later on in life. So why or how come are they still being used and promoted?

Oh I've seen parents brag about their children being on these medications like hey don't you want your kid to you know go with it too?

And it's like haven't we learned things don't work. You see a bunch of adult dysfunction in the world. I feel like intuitively we all know the answer to this. Right? Like I'll throw it at you Mar. Intuitively, don't you already know the answer to her question?

Intuitively, possibly. I don't know if it's right or not, but it might be. What do you think it is? I feel like doctors usually just follow certain rules that they learned at school, that the system taught them.

They don't really know that they're not truly helping. They believe they're helping and maybe they do help some people, but they're not really addressing the root cause. And I think that's the main issue with the healthcare system.

Yeah. Well put. And that's a mirror of, I think what everyone feels without even having to use their intellect. We all feel that on a somatic level that obviously the branches are connected to roots. So you don't chop off the branches when you want to heal the tree. You look at what's poisoning the roots.

A great episode for this, a really good episode, Dana., is with Leland Stillman, MD. He's a medical doctor. He talks about the secrets of stress disease connection, the truth about psychoneuroimmunology, which we'll talk about, and how to be well for life.

He touched on the comparison and the mechanism of breathing improper breathing and ADHD The traditional Western Weston a price found this in the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration when he toured across the world, he found that when tribes and when people would deviate from their natural nature-based diet, that they actually would have more issues with their teeth being crowded and their facial structure being crowded.

And most importantly, this is a big 1, their breathing apparatus through their sinuses would actually be shrunken down when they would deviate from their nature-based nutrition source.

And a lot of times, by the way, again, I'm gonna say this, right? My opinions are my opinions, and they're just based on my research. I'm not here to tell y'all what to believe and none of this is medical advice, but I will say that if we have a medical doctor on our podcast who's been schooled in the arts of medicine sharing this information, y'all might wanna take a look.

He doesn't have a vested interest in monetizing your pain. He has a vested interest in alleviating our suffering. And so the first place to look when it comes to ADHD is what is the environment of the child in?

Are the mother and father screaming at each other? Did the mother have trauma while the baby was in utero? Are there certain epigenetic predispositions that the child has a greater proclivity to exhibit?

In other words, if the mother had trauma, if the mother had a cleft palate, if the mother had a birth that was difficult, if she hasn't healed her own birth trauma, is there some kind of intergenerational trauma that is being passed on child first and foremost?

Because essentially attention deficit disorder or hyperactivity disorder is when one doesn't feel safe in their body. That's the root of all this, right? And so yes, you can chop off the tree limbs, and give them medication that gives an intermediate reprieve, but it's not the long-term solution.

The long-term solution is to go to the roots and figure out what's in the soil, and what's in the water. Because it's going to be 1 of the 5 that we always talk about, right?

Is there financial stress in the home? Does that go down to the child? I mean, I can relate to this, Mar. I was born on welfare, y'all. So like my dad wasn't at home. My mom was super stressed out about money all the time. It took me until my late 30s to get clear that money wasn't trying to kill me. That's real.

So is there spiritual stress in the home? Is there a complete severing of a connection to God and a higher power? Are you living in a home of atheists who believe there's no meaning to it all, and that we're all just gonna die, and there's no point to us even loving and living.

Is there mental stress in the home? Is there being verbal threats passed between mother and father? How is the child behaving that's a mirror of the parents behaving? Is there emotional stress in the home? Does the child even understand that he can breathe or she can breathe or that emotions are a good thing?...
