In this episode John Giordano and I discuss alternative methods of healing.

First, please note John and I are not doctors or nurses. This episode does not offer medical advice. Please consult your doctor before making any lifestyle changes or health care decisions.

John grew up in the South Bronx in an almost mafia-style family.

His journey unfortunately also includes a lot of his childhood without his dad, abuse, and drug and alcohol addiction, among many other issues. He is now a light in the world helping countless others. Oh, did I mention he sold his business that he started with a mere $300 dollars for $45 million dollars in 2012? Refer back to Ep.22 to hear his life story.

Another gift in John’s journey is that he is now a top drug addiction expert, and he has learned many alternative methods of healing along the way. He even owns a holistic clinic that does several different forms of treatment in Florida. If you are curious or looking to heal yourself, like me, sit back and take it all in. It is quite an interesting talk.

John is not only an addiction expert, but he has been featured in 79 scientific peer-reviewed research papers. Research Gate ranks him as one of the top researchers in the world. He conducts seminars alongside brain surgeons, neurosurgeons and scientists. He owns his own holistic treatment center. His certifications and education are almost too numerous to list. Please visit his website to see all of his achievements.

This episode is about Matthew Dickson’s journey. Matthew went off to college like a lot of young folks do, and he even biked cross country through Canada in the middle of his freshman year, but he knew something just didn’t feel quite right. He was still able to function though so he muddled through, even getting mostly A’s in his engineering classes.

However, by the time his fourth year in college ended, he was hit hard by the depths of schizophrenia, and it has taken him 27 years to recover. He has been on an antipsychotic since those early days, but miraculously on February 11, 2021, his symptoms just stopped. He still continues his medication. He knows it would be a mistake to stop, but now he advocates for those with mental illness, and especially those with schizophrenia.

Matthew advocates for those with schizophrenia, and additionally, he helps people with mental illness in developing countries so that they can get access to basic mental health care through his MindAid platform. MindAid is the world’s first website that features all of the groups helping people with mental illness in developing countries on one website. These organizations use models of basic mental health care that are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable. Some of these organizations have been endorsed by Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker, Arcade Fire, Ashley Judd, as well as Robin Williams's son, Zak Williams, and Tim Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics.
