A Better Pill To Swallow

Join us for the second half of this exploration into the interspace of the human mind and body that NAET unearths. Dr. John Crandall continues to lead our riveting discussion as we pivot to a conversation about our misconceptions around the hot topic of vaccines, the nature of our food,  and even more nitty gritty of how NAET functions and is administered on the table. How do we all challenge ourselves to think outside the box even when we think we're already stepping outside of it?  With a juicy and hilarious talkback to follow.

In 1983,  Devi Nambutripad was a chiropractic student. Nibbling on a carrot, while undergoing acupuncture treatment, she discovered that it eliminated her historically deep allergy to it. And the NAET system was officially born: Nambudtripad Allergy Elimination Techniques. Over the decades since, it has been used to treat allergies, addiction, anxiety and depression. And it has healed people all over the world, including the charming host of this podcast. 

Join us for this special 2 part episode with Dr. John Crandall, David’s healer. He’s a licensed chiropractor, who has been a student of this alternative methodology for decades. He leads us through the quirky origin tale, and how it uses the acupuncture system of the human body to holistically and permanently remove allergies. We talk about meditation, mindfulness—it’s a veritable smorgasbord of better pills you only have to swallow figuratively!

We now pivot to our new noteworthy guest...and an old charming friend. Randall has a remarkable success story to share with the world about ECT  (electro-convulsive therapy) which has historically suffered from a terrible stigma in our culture…that happened to save his life. Spoiler Alert: He's now a happily married man with two beautiful daughters. Please tune in as Randall shares intimate details of exactly how he got there: his tumultuous origin tale and how he eventually found his better pill.

We welcome our first guest, Simon Abramson. He's a licensed social worker, an addiction counselor...and most importantly, (only if you ask the host) David's dear brother-in-law. Journey with us, as Simon shares how a near-death car accident in July of 2019 changed the trajectory of his life. Now working for Samadhi to help reduce addiction-related harms,  he also facilitates intimate men’s workshops and weekends that are redefining masculinity. He has a wealth of wisdom to share about how we can all open our hearts to achieve greater mental well-being. We discuss the dearth of community, being intentional, plant medicines, and even how known party drugs can play an unexpected role in healing.

We now delve into the trials of the other co-host, as Karen’s personal trauma takes center stage. In 2016, she was in a car accident. But before she could even catch her breath from the incident, she wound up addicted to OxyContin. She leads us through her terrifying experience of how her doctors administered it without any warning and cut her off just as quickly. But by using natural alternatives, she medicinally took matters into her own hands—the very body parts that were injured.”
