  • Biblical Psychiatry from the Dead Sea Scolls

    Biblical Psychiatry from the Dead Sea Scolls
    Nov 20 2025
    Episode 25: Several ancient religions had their prophecies confirmed when exact copies of their manuscripts were discovered between 1947-1960's. Over 4 Billion Believers in the Dead Sea Scrolls Over half of the world believes in religions emanating from the Dead Sea Scrolls (Table 1). Sometimes people switch religions and other folks only partly assimilate the teachings into their lives. Because loving release of all people and things is central to healing, there is no place in the healing community for hate speech toward anyone. If you are recovering from a violent past, Biblical Psychiatry from a Dead Sea Scroll healing practice may be helpful in releasing harmful messages of childhood and the subconscious mind. I can say that from experience with Complimentary and Alternative Medicine helping with other mental health conditions such as chronic pain syndrome, memory loss, and sexual disorders. https://vimeo.com/1135228120 Download & Share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. Religious and Spiritual Problems in the Field of Psychiatry In 1994, the American Psychiatric Association published the DSM-IV, reconceptualizing religious and spiritual problems as a separate V-code 62.89 that could explain symptoms.1 This is significant for two reasons. First, it medicalized and pathologized spiritual and religious problems. Second, it placed spiritual and religious problems right next to mainstream psychiatric disorders on a differential diagnosis, allowing a clinician a choice between one or the other. The field of medicine and psychiatry both seek to offer effective, compassionate care to all peoples regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or creed. It has been a privilege to offer compassionate, holistic care to patients from all walks of life since I took the Hippocratic Oath in 2003. National standardized board exams have at least one “Religious Problem” question on the multiple-choice questions along the pathway to becoming a board-certified psychiatrist. There was little to no training from mainstream medicine into ancient healing practices, however. The risk is that psychiatrists would diagnose a spiritual experience as a psychiatric condition, further confounding things for the patient. If the patient has a spiritual experience, it may be comforting but it may be terrifying depending on a whole host of different circumstances. I’ve never used V-code 62.89, but I regularly engage convesations about any ancestral healing modalities. This podcast is my attempt to improve communication between doctors and patients. What follows is an outline of common history. Prophecies Confirmed by Carbon-Dating The Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) are a collection of over 25,000 fragments comprising the remains of about 1,000 ancient manuscripts found in various sites in the Judean Desert mostly between 1947 and the 1960s.2 These documents were validated by modern carbon-dating, giving undeniable archeological evidence supporting that hundreds of the ancient prophecies have already come true. For a prophecy to be true, it is expected that event take place in plain sight of all the people. Ancient prophets were serious business. The prophets were killed for any mistakes. A few were outcast, but most were advisors to kings and world leaders. The Canon of Scripture The "canon" refers to the 66 books that were selected to be in the Bible combining the Old and New Testaments. They were selected because the prophecies and cross-references are all internally consistent with each other. They have different author perspectives, of course, and the books' authorship dates are spread out over 1,500 years at least. With enough study bibles and bible studies, it is possible to learn all of the pieces necessary to prove this consistency to yourself. I highly recommend you take the time to do that as early in life as possible. For a fascinating way to get started with prophecy, I highly recommend Beth Moore's presentation of the Book of Daniel. My esoteric friends will be curious to learn that the Archangel Michael can only be in one place at a time. Modern "Religious Problems" The field of psychiatry contains clinical evaluations of people at all stages of life, including times of deep excitement or deep sorrow related to religion. Divorce, followed by trauma within the religion itself, are pretty typical. They come to our offices in tears of sadness and joy that are profound. They look to us for guidance even if we're not familiar with their religion. Please be patient with a psychiatrist from a different religion from you. In general, we are trained to diagnose that a religious or spiritual problem is occurring and to refer you to the proper religious or spiritual leader. Give them a chance to impress you with their professionalism. If they don't, book a Mindshift Assessment with me immediately. I know what it's like to see the shame-control system behind the curtains of churches. It is possible to heal-in-place. Let me help you. ...

  • Safe Medical Cannabis

    Safe Medical Cannabis
    Nov 17 2025
    Episode 24: Hidden toxins surround almost every way to consume cannabis products. This is Part 3 of 3 in the Cannabis series. In Episode 21, we have covered how our own body's endocannabinoids are involved in brain recovery and learning. In Episode 23, we covered the similarity in proteins between endocannabinoids and phytocannabinoids from marijuana. We also discussed my open offer start a Support Group for Medical Cannabis Users and outlined the group princlples and a sample flyer for your consideration. Today, we're talking to the serious cannabis user. The hippies were right! Since the 1960's, we've studied the human protein Anandamide is chemically similar to THC in marijuana. The endocannabinoid system is central to homeostasis in the body, including our brain's internal healing apparatus. And the stoners are so happy the science has backed up what the hippies already knew. Here's the Bad News There are toxins that have worked their way in through industrialized methods that may be worsening your brain health. Elevated levels of lead and cadmium have been found in the blood of legal cannabis users getting thier cannabis from dispensaries.1 Popcorn lung and other diseases come from vaping cartriges.2 There are no scientifically valid studies that control for the hazards of combustible materiel (like cancer). Vaping chemicals are bad for oral health.3 https://vimeo.com/1134618094?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Download & share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. The Healthiest Approaches I've Found: Food for Thought Totally organic. I've only found this at Maggie's Farms in Colorado wins lots of awards. (When I was in Missouri, I should have asked my local dispensary to carry that for me. Instead, I grew it myself and you can learn to grow Cannabis yourself too.) Edibles preferred due to no burning papers or other combustible material. None to minimal butane exposure from lighters. Rosin, paste, concentrate without any chemical processing. Plant presses squeeze out the paste. Partially Health Approaches I've Found Water bong with ice cubes in the tube to cool the sides, keeping it very clean. Freeze Pipe stays frozen in the freezer, keeping it cool on the lungs. The spiral pattern causes some debris to stick to the sides and not be inhaled. It's nice to have a second one so one is always cold. Mine was easy to rinse out with just water. The toxic cleaning chemicals they recommend are not necessary. Cigarrettes/joints act as their own filter pretty well until they are more than half-smoked. 1Seltenrich N. Untested, Unsafe? Cannabis Users Show Higher Lead and Cadmium Levels.

  • The Endocannabinoid System

    The Endocannabinoid System
    Nov 14 2025
    Episode 23: The marijuana plant's THC and CBD mimics the human proteins Anandamide and 2-AG, namely endocannabinoid system (ECS). The Best Kept Secret in Medicine The human body makes proteins just like those found in the marijuana plant. Endocannabinoids are made within the body, while phytocannabiniods are found in the plant. Nevermind the inconsistencies with naming convention here; these people do handle a lot of pot. The ECS is directly involved with the feedback loop on cell recovery and injury. This means that if you become deficient in endocannabinoids or their receptors, exogenous (outside) phytocannabinoids may help. Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, & Migraines Dr. Ethan Russo announced in 1985 that Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome may replace all three of these diagnoses. Once our internal endocannabinoid system is out of balance, then all homeostatic balance is lost. All three of these conditions are fundamentally neurological, which supports the concept that neurotrophic factors depend on endocannabinoids elsewhere throughout the body and not just in the brain. Adopting a Naturalist Lifestyle Seriously, I use terpenes and endocannabinoids on a regular basis in my custom topical remedy for pain. I tell my story because it's illegal for a physician to prescribe marijuana still. You can get a medical marijuana card in legal states, but they usually restrict your rights to buy guns when you do that. Idiots. When I lived in Colorado I tried CBN gummies and they worked for REM sleep even with nightmares, elevation sickness and sleep apnea - all at the same time. When I lived in Missouri, I got certified as a Master Gardner and a Master Grower - then started the Teaching Garden filming for a How to Grow Medicine & Food class.

Support for Medical Marijuana Patients Marijuana consumption has been lumped into the illicit drugs and not taken seriously as a medicine in the recovery space. There are lots of socially constructed reasons that patients of medical marijuana lack access to solid, supportive community: Outlawing the import of marijuana in 1937. It used to be legal to import marijuana into the United States. Government misinformation campaign since the War on Cannabis started by President Nixon June 1971. Many VA psychologists are still very much against the use of marijuana. I have seen long essays written in response to veteran disability requests with tons of references about how harmful it is. To be fair, psychologists are not trained in such a way as to grasp how the Endocannabinoid System handles the homeostatic balance over every biochemical process in the body. Available marijuana has lots of pesticides and users of legal cannabis in the US have elevated levels of lead and cadmium in their blood. Clean Green Certification is sparsely available. Doing it yourself is totally available in a growing number of states. Support Group for Medical Marijuana Patients This would be a great Mastermind Group to get started. If you are interested, please read this article on Dopamine Dysregulation Disorder - all addiction chemistry is the same. I've already put together a sample flyer for a similar Mastermind Group so we can easily adapt and start this up for you when you're ready. There are several pitfalls when starting with cannabis products, in my experience. Recall, I've had no alcohol for over 30 years and have been the Medical Director for two world-class substance abuse programs. I have taken care of patients who have gone insane from marijuana, K2 spice, kratom, methamphetamine, and even a dirty Lavender essential oil product. So if you can get through the pitfalls and not have headaches, dizziness,

    Nov 11 2025
    Episode 22: The chemical trails behind air planes contain high levels of free aluminum. It is blanketing the earth, collecting in remote areas, soaking into our environment - and it's in our brains. Heroes and Politicians: Another Puppet Show? World hero Dane Wigington from GeoEngineering Watch did an an interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., while he was a Presidential Candidate (watch and see how much of a politician he really is). The aluminum in the rain went from 7 ppb to 334 ppb over 18 months at his home. He lost 80% of the solar power he could absorb from the sun with his solar panels. https://youtu.be/bqSkbHKSnjI David Keith is a climate engineer discussing how we are already so vulnerable that a rogue country could hack the entire world's climate and bring it down (shown in this YouTube video). How to Destroy a Planet Spray Sulfuric Acid overhead to stop the planet from warming up. Watch the documentary The Dimming to see what the prophets have predicted for thousands of years.10-13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf78rEAJvhY What are the contents of Chem Trails? Neurotoxins.

PET is synthesized from two primary organic compounds: dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and ethylene glycol4, 5 Manganese6 Plastic Polymer fibers7 Graphene8 Surfactants9 Ocean Iron Fertilization is the approach in the oceans which also contain polymer fibers. Employees of Lockheed Martin are packing the whales with aluminum. UVC waves are now making it all the way through to the surface, with plankton decimation up to 90%. The Effect of GeoEngineering on Mental Health This explains why we don't feel well. It is an overwhelming topic and we need to awaken ancient healing practices and to study how to detox from all of these substances. All of this is enough to cause a panic attack and has sure been a somewhat frequent course of conversation in my Functional Psychiatry Clinic. https://vimeo.com/1133039714 Download and share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. Another Prophecy Being Fulfilled? There are still a few patients, say less than 5%, that know about the ancient prophecies about the sky and the oceans.10-13 There are some whose education was so mainstream that it was shaped by evil empires; empires that would go on to douse the sky with toxins that kill plankton, human brains, solar power, the ozone layer and our defense against powerful solar radiation. Sounds like a conspiracy, right? Conspiracy Therapy As more and more conspiracies are coming true, it became evident that I needed a way to help my patients take care of themselves no matter what. Here's what I say to them now: "Assuming the conspiracy is true, what do you think you should be doing to prepare yourself and your family?" The Disney Illusion Example On example comes from Disney who owns Fox News. Why did Disney supposedly pay (?$60,000,000) to have the appearance of chem trails added to all of their old movies? To program the subconscious of the next generation - because the parents deliver the mind-control programming. Conspiracy Therapy would suggest that rather than worry about all of this, I might be better served to think about what I can do to prepare myself. Not trusting fact-checkers would be a good place to start. In my studies, I kept running across people from many different types of churches and religions that were in some way tied to the Dead Sea Scrolls. In case you don't know, many ancient scriptures were found in the Dead Sea dating back thousands of years verifying the translations and historical authenticity to hundreds of prophecies. Hundreds of the prophecies are already fulfilled and some pretty terrible ones remain. One of the prophecies involves blotting out the sky and turning the oceans red and rendering them unable to produce fish.

Audio version: The "clean-up and repair" cells in the brain use Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor to repair and rebuild new nerve growth in the Central Nervous System. See Figure 1 below from an except from my first book with these images of what the hippocampus looks like before and after treatment. This area of the brain is like a muscle and can be strengthened with new nerve growth, something we were told wasn't possible when my Class of 2007 entered U.T. Houston Medical School. The Healer Protein: BDNF Excerpt, Combat PTSD in America: Toward a Permanent Solution (2016) How we Increase BDNF Several things increased human BDNF and most of them are lifestyle related. The area of your brain where this is most impactful is an area called the hippocampus. Unfortunately, this is your resilience center, responsible for coping with stress and incorporating new memories into your long-term memory. If you become overwhelmed with life, PTSD or develop clinical depression, you can lose so many neuron connections in the hippocampus that it will shrink. Here are some of the known ways to increase BDNF: Meditation & Stretching. Slowing down, taking time for yourself can help.1 Eating more fruit and vegetables. I recommend eating as close to an unprocessed, anti-inflammatory diet as possible (Books: Paleo Diet, Wheat Belly). Green tea. The caffeine content can be quite high so be careful.2 Resveratrol. Resveratrol is a plant polyphenolic compound.3 Weight lifting. Fatiguing muscles to the point they are tired with exercise is known to increase BDNF. It also causes the brain to release Growth Hormone at night which is associated with improved sleep.4 Talk therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy alone, without medications, has been shown to treat PTSD and increase BDNF levels.5 Antidepressant medications. Serotonin and Serotonin/Norepinephrine (adrenaline)-related antidepressant medications increase BDNF and are shown to improve PTSD, depression and anxiety.5 Social connection. Whether it’s work, school, church or volunteer service, establishing a routine with friendly, social interaction is also helpful.6 Prebiotics. Gut bacteria convert prebiotics into butyrate7, a substance that has been shown to increase BDNF.8 Magnesium.9 N-acetylcysteine.10 Taken as a supplement.

    Vegetable oil is more dangerous than sugar and fat
    Nov 5 2025
    Episode 20. Please support the Cure AMD Foundation (Age-Related Macular Degeneration). Prepare Your Own Food Vegetable oil and seed oils have toxic levels of omega-6. While proclaiming the virtues of omega-3 fatty acids, we crossed over the recommended 2% consumption of dietary vegetable oils a long time ago. Restaurants, processed foods, and the fast-food industry pumps the world full of it. We trusted the food we brought into our homes only to later discover that cancer, obesity, diabetes and macular degeneration blindness are all extremely strongly associated with vegetable oil. For this reason, vegetable oil is one of my Top 9 Neurotoxins in the Food and Water Supply back from episode 4 on November 20, 2024. Obesity, Diabetes, and Chronic Disease: Is it the Sugar, 'Carbs', Vegetable Oils, or All Three? What if feeling better from "diet and exercise" inadvertently caused you to avoid vegetable oils, BPA plastic, PFAS forever chemicals, and other neurotoxins? I think that may be part of the reason detoxes and diets help us feel better within a week even though our bodies are laden with toxins for years. If it is the vegetable oil that's causing us to be addicted to different foods, it would really throw off controlled studies. It turns out that the vegetable oil we’re eating is controlling our brain chemistry in many ways. Phytoestrogens are in vegetable oils we eat.1 Estradiol affects dopamine (addiction, memory, learning), serotonin (mood) and glutamate systems (excitatory stimulation).2 Estradiol specifically effects the dopamine transporter apparatus within cells.3 Obesity, diabetes, cancer, and age-related macular degeneration (blindness) are all strongly implicated in the YouTube video posted below. https://vimeo.com/1132880360?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Download and Share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. We get a rush of all types of neurochemistry when we take a bite of fast food, frozen foods, restaurant foods that is enough to cause a change in behavior. Taken together, these would cause addiction-reward from eating it, remove objectivity from learning about how food impacts our bodies. We are getting a “dopamine hit” from the vegetable oil alone – even if the food is otherwise healthy for human consumption. Sadly, the largest health correlations impact is on the reproductive centers, breast cancer, menopause, perimenopause, and perhaps the future of human civilization itself. Scary Waters The same estrogenic properties in the food are present in public, aquatic environments so controlling our dietary intake is crucial to lowering our risk of disease.4 Opioids and other drugs wash off the property into wastewater and creeks, tributaries, lakes and rivers.5 Antidepressants appear in the very Rhine River in Germany that I used to visit when I was stationed there in the Army in the 1990’s.6 Genes encoded with antimicrobial resistance await you in open waters in Canada.7 “One hundred-eighteen pharmaceuticals determined in drinking water samples from 25 U.S. treatment plants.”8 These included carbamazepine, bupropion, cotinine, metoprolol, and lithium most predominantly.8 Chris A. Knobbe, MD In 2017, Dr. Chris Knobbe left his ophthamology practice to start the Cure AMD Foundation. Age-Related Macular Degeneration is a Westernized disease.

Each memory is a neuron connection. You have been exposed to thousands of toxins unless you’ve filtered your water and prepared your own food your entire life. A 20-minute screening test from Canada, the home of modern Functional Medicine, has a good base of scientific evidence in detecting and monitoring subtle changes in memory loss or gain.1 I got certified in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) because the company behind it has really done their due diligence to get all of the feedback you would ever want from the scientific community.2 Book A MoCA Test now Book your appointment today. Your cognitive decline may be recoverable and will be an important part of your customized Mindshift Plan. The customization part of your Mindshift Plan can not be overemphasized here because the MoCA test has been validated in psychosis, mood disorders with electroconvulsive therapy, late-life Bipolar Disorder and Geriatric Psychiatry.3-6 Folks, these disorders are made much worse with memory loss, often culminating into a clinical picture involving extreme emotional experiences because of their lifelong accumulation of quantum drag leading to a simultaneous Accumulation Stress Injury. https://vimeo.com/1132870234 Download and Share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. Glymphatic System Washes Your Brain if you Sleep Our brains have a washing cycle at night. Once per minute, a small amount of adrenaline causes a small arteriole squeeze all the way through the brain.7 This creates a small amount of space around the vessels for interstitial fluid to be moved and absorbed by the cranial veins. If the Glymphatic System is interfered with that we get a build-up of amyloid proteins that are toxic to the brain – and associated with Alzheimer’s Dementia. It appears that some anti-histamines are anti-cholinergic and these mechanisms stop the Glymphatic System. The over-the-counter shelves are full of antihistamines.8 Too bad sleep medications shut it down… Some anti-histamines are anti-cholinergic also, but no one is really studying which of all these anti-histamines are ultimately neurotoxic. It would take decades and thousands or lab rats for us to catch up to this threat. From allergy pills to sleeping age, the entire world is consuming this stuff and no one realizes the risk. Do you want to research this question? Join me on a Research Mastermind Group. Our brains collect lots of exogenous toxins (outside the body) that we absorb from our environment and consume in food and water. We lack the laboratory and animal model studies to show causality, but all of these toxins act the same on humans: estrogenic, neurotoxic, carcinogenic, and anti-fertility. Here are some cutting-edge research ideas for those that would like to go to graduate school on these topics: BPA plastic in the brain is associated with a 10-fold risk in dementia.9 Tramadol is a weak opioid pain-killer associated with dementia.10 More than 2,500 medications are associated with dementia.11 Dementia MedicationsDownload The prevalence of pollution, autism, ADHD, depression and cognitive slowing has garnered more attention in recent years. My experience in Springfield, MO opened my eyes to see the connection between contaminated water and a flood of ADHD patients with high cholesterol, low vitamin D, and a lot more thyroid disease than should have been expected. It turns out the PFAS epidemic has thousands of locations. Toxic Exposures Hasten Dementia It turns out that if people actually study it, there's laboratory evidence showing dementia in rats with toxic exposures.
