WHY YOU ALWAYS SHOULD GET A 2ND MEDICAL OPINION-JOHN RICHARDSON

➡ Dave Hodges, host of the Common Sense Show, interviews John Richardson, a critic of the Medical Industrial Complex. Richardson, who has been fighting for truth in healthcare since his father’s death in 1988, believes that the public is often only given one side of the story when it comes to health. He argues that natural, affordable, and effective treatments for diseases like cancer have been suppressed by the medical industry. Richardson shares his personal experience with health issues and emphasizes the importance of not letting fear dictate health decisions.
➡ A man named John fell seriously ill, vomiting uncontrollably, and was taken to the hospital by his son. The doctors discovered a blockage in his colon and suspected cancer, so they conducted various tests and procedures to stop his vomiting and diagnose his condition. They found that he had stage two or three cancer and planned to remove a large portion of his colon, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Despite his initial acceptance, John sought second opinions from natural health experts who criticized the proposed treatment as extreme, leading him to question the advice of the numerous doctors insisting on immediate surgery.
➡ John was hospitalized and doctors insisted he needed a costly surgery to remove a part of his colon. However, he decided to follow advice from his naturopath friends to keep draining fluid from his body, which made him feel better. Despite pressure from the hospital staff, he resisted the surgery, believing it was more about profit than his health. He also noticed that despite the doctors’ claims, he was having bowel movements, which contradicted their diagnosis.
➡ John Richardson, a man from Arizona, was told by doctors that he had a serious health condition and needed immediate surgery. However, he decided to try natural remedies first, despite the doctors’ warnings. After 86 days of using natural substances and treatments like ozone and enzymes, he felt better than ever. He believes he never had cancer, as the doctors suggested, but rather a blockage in his colon, which he managed to clear naturally.
➡ The speaker believes that many surgeries are recommended for profit rather than necessity. He argues that insurance companies pay more for procedures than for hospital stays, pressuring doctors to perform unnecessary surgeries. He also criticizes the lack of individuality in treatment plans and the reliance on predictions rather than diagnoses. The speaker advises patients to demand definitive proof before agreeing to surgery and shares his own experience of resisting surgery, choosing instead to try alternative methods.
➡ The speaker shares his experience of refusing a recommended surgery and instead choosing to follow a different health protocol. He believes this decision, along with changes to his diet, has led to his improved health and energy. He criticizes the medical system for focusing on expensive treatments and surgeries, rather than exploring cheaper, natural alternatives. He also emphasizes the importance of personal research and seeking multiple opinions when it comes to health decisions.
➡ The text discusses the importance of considering alternative health practices alongside traditional medicine. It emphasizes that doctors are trained in specific treatments, often involving drugs and surgery, but may lack knowledge about natural remedies and lifestyle changes. The text also highlights the potential benefits of practices like meditation and dietary changes, such as eating organic food and apricot seeds. It encourages individuals to take control of their health, seek second opinions, and explore different treatment options.

Hey everybody, Dave Hodges here. I’m the host of the Common Sense Show. We are the show that is freeing America one in slave mind at a time. And you know, our mission here is to help you, help you in a variety of ways with news and of course any of the products we ever advertise, we bring these to you and, and we’re proud to do so. We’re trying to help and, and honestly, if you just hear people in the alternative media now, the new mainstream media, if you just hear him complain and identify problems and don’t tell you some things you can do about it, you’re listening to the wrong people.

So along those lines, we have a guest of ours that we’ve had before on John Richardson. Now you may not have heard John, but he’s done some remarkable things. He comes from a remarkable family and he’s had personal experience negatively with what he wants to help you with. And we’re going to get into all that right here on the Common Sense Show. John, let’s put it this way, he is completely legal and above board, but I think everybody but RFK and the medical establishment hates him. Is it okay to characterize you that way, John? Oh, absolutely.

Anybody in the mic that hears my story, I shortened mic, I, I can’t do that because a lot of the audience automatically thought, oh, he’s going to use lingo, I don’t want to do. The MIC is what most of the awoken awakened mds that I’ve been talking to lately call it for short, but it stands for medical Industrial Complex and it basically is what, what you enter into whenever you go to a hospital for whatever’s going on with you or you go to a standard treatment, that’s what you’re entering into. Yeah, and I’m not against the Medical Industrial complex.

The Medical Industrial complex saved my young son’s life and partially saved my life. What I’m against is people only getting one side of the story when it comes to your health. And because of the flexner report in 1910 that many people have heard of, if you haven’t look it up, it basically was the Rockefellers and the Carnegie’s getting together and telling the world that the only accepted medicine going forward is going to be pharmaceuticals, key chemicals made from, from petroleum based products and the financial control of the medical system. And we’ve been dealing with it for 110 years.

But we all woke up, I’m talking about we as the general public woke up during the COVID thing because they found out that hey, Maybe they’re not always telling me the truth. So that’s where, that’s where kind of I just want people to understand kind of the basis. I’ve been fighting this battle my whole life but recently I got entered into the medical industrial complex and that’s what we’re going to talk about today. But I did want people that don’t know me and never seen me before to know a little bit about my background that I’ve been fighting this, this battle for truth since, you know, since birth basically, but since my dad passed away for sure in 1988 after he, he got G.

Edward Griffin to write the book World Without Cancer, which sells more copies today in a week than it used to sell in a year. And I just hung out with Ed Griffin this last weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Red Pill Expo, hugged him and his wife, his beautiful wife Pat, who are in their, in their 90s. Ed will be 94 this year. Still going strong. Speaking. Yeah. Isn’t amazing but many people I’ve never got to the red pill. I’ve done about all the other ones here, but I’ve never been to the red pill. Great things about it.

Yeah. Well fortunately I’ve met some of the greatest people. Brian Artis was there, this doctor I had mentioned to you pre show that was using chlorine dioxide and give and using it for all sorts of people in Florida. He actually got put in prison for four years and never, they never had one person that ever had a bad result but he just got out. So you know, we’re making changes. There’s a, there’s a poor doctor in San Diego that’s still sitting in jail that I’m hoping to help myself and I can’t remember his name, of course I mentioned the name, but I’ve got so many names, Dave, going through my brain that sometimes I need my assistant to remind me.

But there’s a poor doctor, a great doctor in San Diego who’s sitting in jail who I wanted to, to try to help any way I can raise his, his name and get him out there and you might be able to do a Google search, we find that anyway. I will but anytime I bring up Gio or Griffin, it gets people excited and thinking and you know, I just, I, he’s, he’s just an amazing human being and so I just got to spend time with him and he, he and my dad went on a fishing trip excuse me in 19 early 1970s and my dad told him about Layotrill and his medical practice and how he’s having tremendous success.

And I’ve told this whole story, Dave. So anybody that wants to hear the whole story, go back to your archives if there are any fans and go watch the. We’ve, I think we’ve done this twice before. So I don’t want to rehash a lot of the stuff that I’ve gone over before, but I do want people to know that what I’ve been doing, I’m not just, I didn’t just wake up yesterday, you know, talking about B17 and Leotril and the treatment and control of the C word. If we’re on YouTube, I have to use that. But cancer, if we’re on any other platform, it has been known to be able to be treated and controlled for 60 years, naturally, cheaply, effectively.

But the medical industrial complex has, has stopped us from telling people about it for different reasons. Not, you know, anybody automatically thinks, well, my doctor wouldn’t lie to me. He wouldn’t tell me a lie if he. But the problem is he doesn’t know. Yeah, that’s true. That’s part of what we’re doing, Dave, on here today is maybe just opening up a couple minds so that when your aunt or your uncle, I’m talking to your audience comes down, gets the, you know, the dreaded kids cancer diagnosis, you can understand that you have to, don’t have to have fear.

Fear is the thing that’s going to cause you to make decisions that you don’t need to make. And so that’s, that’s what I want to go over today basically of my story here. Here I am, John Richardson, that’s been fighting this battle for 30, 30, 40 years out of my 60 years. And telling people about that apricot seeds and amygdalin can help control and stop cancer from advancing your body. It’s been proven many, many times. But we’re not going to talk about that today. If you want to know more about that, what I just mentioned, go ahead and look at Dave’s old podcast.

So what I want to talk about today is that I having been person battling this from the very beginning and Dave, interrupt me at any time if you want a clarification. But I, on Easter Sunday this year, 2025, I had gone about four or five weeks of having stomach pains. And like we all do, we all have issues and we don’t. Because we’re experts in one field doesn’t mean we’re experts in every field. And I will say that intestines in the gut has not been my Expertise prior to what’s happening to me. My expertise is the history and cover up of apricot seeds and Laetrol and B17.

That’s my expertise. That’s what I talk about everywhere. So when I was having stomach problems I, I just kind of left it to myself and my wife and my friends to figure out what was going on. And so I didn’t seek out my dear friend Dr. Brian Ardus or Dr. Henry Ely or Dr. John Group or Dr. Ed Group. I didn’t seek out these friends. I talked to my wife. And so I was kind of self treating because I’ve always thought, Dave, I’m bulletproof. I’ve said that before, I’m bulletproof because I eat so many apricot seeds and nothing.

I’ve never worried about a colonoscopy or getting to get any of that stuff. But I was having colon problems and on Easter Sunday I was feeling better. I went to Sunday service afterwards, I went to a brunch with my son. I ate some pastrami on my eggs Benedict and I immediately felt something was wrong. Something, you know, something was going wrong. Something almost felt like a pipe was clogged. So I did what I was normally do and I thought, okay, I’m going to eat some sauerkraut, make me feel better, I’ll drink a bunch of water, drink a bunch of water and I’ll just feel better, it’ll just kind of subside.

Well, it didn’t, it didn’t feel better. Just kept getting worse and worse. And my wife happened to be in Florida so I hadn’t had anybody to talk to my wife and I didn’t want to call any of my hundreds of naturopath friends to say, you know, what’s going on? But I, so I started throwing up. Just like this massive bile was coming out of me, throwing up. And so I was throwing up so much that my 17 year old son was hearing me and basically came into my room and said, dad, you know, I’m going to take you to the urgent care here in Arizona and I want to get you checked.

And so I being delirious normally I’d say no, I’ll just, you know, call somebody and see what’s going on. But being delirious, I just said okay, yeah, take me. And I was suffering, Dave, I was suffering. And so I was throwing up. I got there, I threw up on the way I threw up as they were checking me in, signing documents, signing my life away at this, at the medical industrial entrance to the medical Industrial complex. People don’t realize all that you’re signing away. And I threw up once they got me in the room. By that point, you could have told me to eat a, you know, a banana and a sock and, and I would have said, yeah, I want to stop this, Dave.

Whatever you, whatever it is, I gotta stop it. So, so they said, well, we’re gonna, John, we think you have something going, you know, we, you got a blockage in your colon. We don’t know what it is, but we want to take you on a, a ambulance ride over to the health clinic. Gosh, it’s. Oh, anyway, Large clinic and large hospital in Phoenix, right down the street. I always know the name and all of a sudden it’s Banner. What’s that? There’s a Banner? Yes, Banner. Banner. Banner Healthcare right here in Arizona. And they whisked me in, you know, immediately a bunch of nurses, doctors came in.

They started putting IV in me. They put a, slipped a tube down my throat and they, they were doing anything they could and I commend them to try to get me to stop from throwing up. So they had a tube down my stomach and then they offered me, Mr. Richardson, would you like some morphine? And I said, well, I said no, because I’ve known people that, you know, gone in and got morphine and they just can’t think anymore. And they could again, they could offer to cut your arm off to stop your pain from happening and you pretty much accept what they say.

So I knew enough not to do the morphine. But by about 3 o’ clock in the morning, I had stopped throwing up. The tube was starting to suck out all this dark, nasty stuff out of my stomach. And they offered, they said, we want to take you down and do a CAT scan. And so they took, wheeled me down to do a CAT scan at Banner Health. And I, I, you know, they scanned it and I came back and I was feeling better. I wasn’t throwing up, I wasn’t, I still wasn’t eating. They were feeding me through IV tube to get my fluids up.

They had done a bunch of blood tests. Unbeknownst to me, they did a pancreatic cancer test. I didn’t even know they were doing it. So like I said, they kind of like start coming in scanning you with every, the scanner. Beep, beep, beep. You’re getting beep for every test you’ve known. And so I’m just going along with it, except I didn’t do the morphine and I started feeling better. But about 2 o’ clock in the afternoon. This is Easter Sunday. Then Monday morning, I think it was April 22nd. Then by Monday morning, by Monday at 2 o’, clock, I had this handsome, debonair, young 35 year old doctor come in, sit down and John, we have some bad news.

And I said, what’s that? He said, well, we’ve looked at your scan, your CAT scan, and you have a apple core lesion. I didn’t know what that was. First time I’d ever heard that term in my life, but I’ve never heard it. Okay, have an apple core lesion. I learned what it was later. And you have stage two or three cancer. And John, we scheduled you for surgery Wednesday to remove your two and a half feet of colon. And he drew a picture. And normally we send it out to people. Dave, maybe you got it, but maybe you didn’t.

It doesn’t matter. We can follow up if you want it. But he drew a sketch on a whiteboard in my room and said, we’re going to take half of your large intestines out, two and a half feet of your large intestine, and we’re going to this big section on top. We’re going to graft it into this little tiny section where the small intestine joins the duodenum. And I learned more about the intestine than I’d ever thought about. I’ve gone to biology classes and classes and I understand how the body works. But now it’s me, Dave. Now it’s not just some theory, now it’s me.

So I’m watching this and it just as a, as a common sense thing, I’m looking at, they’re going to take this big huge part of my large intestine up here, cut into it and connect it to this tiny little thing on the bottom. So I said, well, what happens on that connection? He said well yeah, we got a lot of people suffer, you know, punctures or they suffer leakage. And so you got to keep coming back. We’re going to give you a colostomy bag, but we’re going to get rid of the cancer and you’re going to go on some anti rejection medication.

And I said okay. So you would think, Dave, me doing this for 30 years, I’d go absolutely not. You know, don’t do that to me. But instead I just had this calmness. I attribute it to God basically going through this and me having to experience something that Dave, really pridefully, if I had talked to you about the subject, I would say, Dave, Just tell him. No. Dave, what do you need? Don’t tell, just tell them. No, I’m not going to do that. I’m going to talk to my naturopathic friends. But, but I, I was prideful and if I said that to you before, I was not understanding the amount of pressure that you’re getting from your own family and everything that’s going on.

So I had to learn this. And so I had this peace come over me that I wanted to hear everything they had to say. So when he was finished telling me how I had to cut off two and a half feet of my colon and that we couldn’t just do a little piece where he drew the obstruction in my colon, I had to, I had to go through all the stuff. And then five days later, after I healed with the colostomy bag and the rest, then I would start chemotherapy. And I knew in my brain surgery maybe, but chemotherapy never, not in a million years.

And then we’ll do radiation. And John, we should be able to get you to your 70s. You’re 60 years old. We’ve done all these tests, we tested you for pancreatic cancer. You don’t have that. We test your blood, everything comes out great. Your blood pressure, your, you know, your, your oxygen levels, everything. You’re a healthy 60 year old man, so we should be able to get to your 70s. And in my mind I’m thinking they’re just going to cut 50 years of my life out because I plan on living to be 120, you know, so that was what I went through.

And then after that I got the chance to talk to Dr. Darrell Wolfe, the doc of detox, who’s been doing colon non surgical procedures on colon for 40 years. I got to talk to Dr. Henry Ely, who lives in the area and he actually did a house call, believe it or not. This is things and I’m going to talk about that later. Dave, These are things that the average person doesn’t have the advantage to do. And that’s the real lesson of this whole story. As you’re listening, I’m John Richardson. I’ve been spending, you know, 30 to 40 years of my life telling people, don’t get these surgeries, don’t do these things until you try natural things or at least get a second opinion.

So I got the opinions of all these and they said this should be medical malpractice. You should, you know, these people coming and say you have to remove your colon as the first option. But as I’m in the hotel, I mean Hotel. As I’m in the hospital now, I’m getting hit with 15 white coated doctors, Dave, that want me to, you know, that they’re saying I’ve got to get the surgery. Every single one of them is telling me, you got to get the surgery. I talked to the oncologist. Yep, you got to get the surgery. I had the top gi, the gastroenterologist in Arizona.

I’m being told by friends that are visiting me. And he said after reading the scan that I needed to get this surgery and have it removed. He never even looked at me. He never asked me about my history. He never asked me about what I had been eating or what I had been trying, you know, naturally. He just said, you got to get this removed. So that was the entire focus through, through Monday. But I just said, well, I’m going to wait and see, you know, what’s going on. So I started talking to my naturopath friends.

They were saying, no, John, just have them keep pumping this fluid out and see what happens. Have them keep cupping the fluid out so they were getting buckets of this fluid coming out of my body. And so I just kept doing it and I kept feeling better. Even though I wasn’t eating, I still wasn’t hungry at all. I hadn’t eaten. I’ve been losing weight. But I. By Wednesday morning, Dave, just from being in the hospital getting these IVs and you know, them telling me that I’m going for surgery on Wednesday, I started having bowel movements. I had 15 bowel movements between Wednesday morning at midnight till about 3 or 4 in the afternoon on Wednesday.

I had 15 bowel movements. And all my naturopath or integrative doctor friends were all saying, that’s fantastic. But the staff at the hospital, the nurses and the doctors, the 15 doctors were telling me I had to get this surgery. And I could, I got all their names, I got all the photos. I got everything, Dave, because I, I knew people wouldn’t believe me. Yeah. So, John, it’s, it’s simple. I’ll just sum it up like this. Money, money, money, money. That’s why they went to the, shall we say, the Death Star option. Yeah, well, it’s absolutely true.

And I, I’m saying, Dave, I was a little bit naive about what people go through. When you enter the doors of the medical industrial complex. From the moment you walk in, you’re considered another profit center. That’s right. And I’m sad to say that, but everything is about. I had a doctor, sometimes this process. I had a Lot of different statements made. But I had a doctor say, you look, you either need to get the surgery or we need to move you out of this bed. Because they’re, they’re, they’re telling me I got to get you out of this bed.

I got a little piece of the mind that I’m a, if I’m sitting in that bed, I’m costing them money by not choosing something. The surgery that they wanted me, the emergency surgery, that was 200 to $250,000 for surgery. He had five of them scheduled Wednesday. And he said, I usually only do five. I’ve scheduled in you in for a slot of six. And so there’s, there’s. The hospital is going to make between. I, I wouldn’t want to be number four or five or six. I wouldn’t either. How do they do that? Oh, well, Dave, it goes on and on.

I, it goes on and on. I will not survive. I was told sometime in my stay and I’m, I’m taking away some of the story. But I was there from Sunday night till I got out the following Saturday. It felt like a lifetime. It felt like I was there forever. Process I went through was crazy. But one of the statements they made is, John, you’re, There’s no other options. I said, you know, does anybody ever push back? There’s no other options. There’s nothing else to do. The only thing to, to fix this apple core lesion and we can send a picture to anybody, anybody can google it.

Basically when you look at it from the side, it looks like your colon is, is squeezing in the middle. So they call it a lesion. And, and they want to go in there and take out two and a half feet of my colon to fix that apical lesion. Now all my integrative and doctor friends said you could just have inflammation. Your colon shrinks down, is trying to stop whatever’s going in there. Maybe I had a buildup of something. But this is natural. You can fix it naturally. You can fix this apple por lesion and you don’t have to cut out two and a half feet of your colon.

So. But they were never really, these doctors never really trained. All this lessons I learned was all from my, my friends like doc of detox who, who’s been doing this 40 years and teaches people non surgical treatments. But I had my local doctor, Dr. John Murphy, who’s been treating people for cancer with Laetrol B17 for 25 years. You know, I’ve talked to him, talked to you about him on the Story and I didn’t know him nine months ago, but I got him, I got to have him on the phone. He said, well, John, if you do, we don’t know if you do have cancer, we’ll get you out, we’ll get you all the standard treatments we do, natural treatments and we’ll see where it’s at.

But. So I felt safe, Dave, to be going, okay, I’m not going to get the surgery. But they kept the pressure on. And I was going to ask you because they don’t relent. No, oh no, they don’t. They do something called going against medical advice. They can refuse to treat you on your insurance entirely for even other conditions. 100%, Dave. This is what I’m talking about. The pressure comes from everywhere. Not only are they telling me and my kids that happen to be in the room, I had my, my, my 18 year old daughter who just graduated high school, spent the night.

One night, you know, my 17 year old son came by and they don’t care who’s in the room, they’re just telling him. And so they’re telling him, well, John, you’ll be dead in 10 days. How many kids do you have? I said, I have 11 children. Well, John, don’t you want to be there for your kids graduation? Don’t you want to be there for your kids, your grandkids? And they’re telling this, they’re trained in the guilt trip, aren’t they? Oh my goodness. I never would have, I would have never believed you, Dave, if you told me that you know what I’m saying, I would believe you.

It’s true. Trust me, I know you’re an honest guy. I’ll tell you this, I’ll tell you a really quick anecdote, okay? I’ve had bone on bone arthritis and it caused me to stop playing basketball 25 years ago. And a friend of mine, Scotty Sachs, said, dave, this is part of when I was recovering from RSV and I was getting into the gym and doing some pretty good things, but the knee was in the way. And he said, dave, rub this on. It might take a couple months, but it grows pluripotent stem cells. And I said, really? I said, are you sure it works? He goes, dave, I did it on my shoulder when I had an injury, so I did it.

And today I’m doing things I haven’t done in 25 years. And I had a doctor ask me, dave, what’s happened to you? You can do things that are amazing because they put you through these flexor tests. And I told him he didn’t want to hear it. That’s the, that’s the moral of the story that I’m relating back to you is if it wasn’t cut it out, burn it out, or poison it, they didn’t want to hear it. Yep. I have a whole new. Absolutely, Dave. I’ve always been a believer in, you know, natural answers, but I have a whole new perception of what happens when you go in.

And I’m more on fire than I’ve been. My staff says you’re more on fire than ever. I. I don’t want to get to the punchline, but I don’t want to bore anybody that’s watching. It’s not all about me. It’s just that I’ve been going through this process. So when they’re. They’re doing all this. Dave, I was having 15 bowel movements. How do you have a bowel movement if you’ve got cancer blocking your colon? You know, they said, ever the nurse and doctor said, oh, that’s just the fluid we’re putting in you. We’re feeding you through your tube, you know, through this little vein.

15 bowel movements. No, that’s. That’s not logical. And all my, all my MD friends who have been in the medical establishment say, yeah, they shake their head. They said, yeah, that’s what we’re trained to do. We just ignore the signs that something else is going on because we’ve now got a prognosis, now we’ve got every lined up. There’s a payday if I get my250,000 surgery. And, you know, you got to make your Ferrari payments. And I’m not, I’m not throwing these people under the bus. That that’s all they care about. That’s all they have been taught.

David, you’re exactly, you’re exactly right. They’re trained to reject the natural. And what they’re lacking in their training is they haven’t been taught that the synthetic medicine they’re practicing originates with the natural. Yeah, and you get these doctors, they sit in your room and I’m befriending them. You know, I think of myself as an intelligent person and that I’m able to talk with them without being. I was never battling because, Dave, I didn’t know if they could call me crazy. I’ve heard stories, all different stories. Do they call me crazy if I start tell. Telling them, you know, conspiracy theories about health and nutrition? So I was just.

They didn’t know who I was. They didn’t know I was John Richardson except for that system. There’s 999 John Richardson’s in the state of Arizona. So I was nobody to them. And so I was just asking them. They said, well, we can’t let you go. I said, I want to go out and you know, try natural first. You guys don’t have any other offer. I can always get the surgery next week, right? Well, yeah, but you’ll. Then you’re at jeopardy. You might be, you might be so bad off that you’ll, you’ll get a puncture of your small intestine and then you’ll have sepsis and you’ll die on the operating table if you wait.

So all this scaring stuff, they’re doing everything option, I say, I just know in my heart that I’ve been talking to my friends and they’re saying, what’s going on, John? We’ll have you back on your feet in 10 days. And well, you know, this will be fine. And. But they didn’t have any other options. And those five poor souls, Dave, just on Wednesday weren’t given any other options. I don’t know who they were. I wish I did, but those people’s lives have been changed forever. And while I’m in the hospital having the bowel movements and saying, look, I want to do another CAT scan.

If I did another CAT scan. How many people want another CAT scan? It’s the poisonous. They got high. I just wanted to see what was going on. And so I did another CAT scan on Wednesday after I was having the bowel movements, you know, just to solve my own curiosity. You know what they said? No change. We haven’t seen anything. Well, can I see it? No, it’s. Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You have the right to access your records. Oh, Dave, I know I have the right. That’s the law. Oh, I know, I. To this day.

It’s now been 86 days since they told me I’d die in 10 days. It took me 40 days and 40 nights. I know that’s biblical, but that’s what it was. Took me 14 days and 40 nights out. I found out this after the fact to announce to my staff that I’m 100%. I went through it. Yeah. For 40 days and. But yes, Dave, I still. 86 days. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re interviewing a ghost. Exactly. Yeah, I’m dead. According to them, they. I had my 33 year old son. I got out, I got to the hospital, I’m jumping ahead, but I got out of the hospital I was home and I start, I was trying to, you know, see, take all the medications I was taking.

Not medications, all the natural substances. I could line them up. I was doing ozone. I was doing C60 from Dr. Wolf. I was taking more enzymes. Normally I take three enzymes now is taking like 10 of enzymes capsules every, you know, eight hours. I was just doing it all and my wife had a little booklet and I, you know, we’re going to put this in the book in the movie. That’s coming, that’s coming. But anyway, that’s not what it’s all about, Dave. I was going through it and so I still was throwing up. I had my best friend throwing from Houston.

I was still throwing up. The last day I had it was really bad. I don’t remember the date, but Henry Ely came over and did acupuncture. He massaged my carotid arteries. I had Henry Ely the part of the healing for the ages team come to my house to do a house call. How many people would do that? Okay, so all this stuff I threw up for the last time and something came out. When I threw up it was like three balls of. I don’t know what it was but something came out. And ever since then I’ve just gotten better each day, just gotten better each day using the natural things.

But my son, my 33 year old son, who I love dearly, who’s the president of my company or our company, was on the phone to 911 to take me back into the medical industrial complex. And I said over my dead body. I won’t say his name because I don’t want to embarrass him, but everybody knows my son. I said over my dead body. Don’t call the ambulance, son. Trust me, I’m making the right decision. And from that point forward, like I said, it took me 40 days and 40 nights and I’m back to 120%. I feel better than I’ve ever felt.

I’m eating everything I want to eat. And the natural question is, well, John, did you get rid of whatever the cancer was? I’ve never been proven I had cancer. I don’t believe I ever did. I believe I had a blockage, I a colon blockage of something that could have been. I gotta back, I gotta back up because if I’m in your position, I’m saying how do you know it’s cancer? I’m sure you asked that question and what I asked multiple times. What did they tell you? They said we this apple core lesion is in 99.5% of the time it is cancer.

So you, we know you have cancer. So they’re not giving you a diagnosis, they’re giving you a prognosis. Well, you could say that. But then all 15 doctors, they sent, and they sent in Dave, when I said I was going home, excellent question, by the way, because I’m glad I want those questions asked. When I said I was going home, they said they sent in palliative care. They sent the people that help you transition from, you know, we’re trying everything we can to you’re going to die. And I had these very well meaning people come in, you know, they may have been Christians and they came in, John, why are you deciding to die? You’re very healthy.

You’re, you’re 60 years old. Why are you choosing to die? We don’t understand. None of us can understand it. I had two palliative care doctors with their lab coats. When I said I’m not, I didn’t tell you the story about the colonoscopy. When I decided not to get the surgery, they said, well, we’ve suddenly found a colonoscopist. Before, they said we couldn’t do it because it was too dangerous. They were going to perforate my colon, Dave. But now they had miraculously found a colonoscopist. And within minutes of finding him, they had me scheduled for a colonoscopy.

They had me getting ready to take this nuclear stuff that’s like cement basically, that goes into your colon. And they were scheduling me for a colonoscopy. I said, wait a minute, am I awake during this so I can make decisions? Nope, you’re not awake. We, you just sign these documents and now, Dave, they can go on a search and rescue expedition up your colon and cut anything they find or see or do anything that they find. And so again, I’m naive about colonoscopies. I’ve never considered one, never would get one. I’m 60, I’m not going to get one.

I know that they are, that they cause a gut biome destruction. So I chose not to get it, even though they had were sending in the medicine to put into me to start the process for me to get it. And the faces that I saw, the incredulous looks I got from these doctors, like, what, you’re not getting a colonoscopy now that we found somebody that can miraculously do this? One out of a thousand people die, Dave, from getting colonoscopies. I didn’t know that they didn’t tell me that one out of a thousand people, statistically they did 5 to 10 million of colonoscopies last year.

Think about how many people died from the medical procedure to find out what you have wrong with you, that that finds out they cut it off, now you’re bleeding. And so I’ve now got the whole thing. I’ve got a report, a one page report of the history of colonoscopies and you can find, attempt, it’s a, it’s a billion dollar industry just sending a camera up your rectum and it kills your gut biome. So that I was saved from that by Dr. Wolf who said, John, why would you get a colonoscopy? What are you curious? What, what difference does it make what’s in there? You’re going to destroy your gut biome and if you think you have inflammation now, it’s going to be 25 times worse.

And so now I’ve heard stories, Dave, of people that got the colonoscopies and their life changed. Now they’re sick all the time, their stomach hurts all the time and they screen it at 45, screen you for cancer. Well, they find the cancer, Dave, they find something wrong. Because if they do, now you’ve got to come out of your pocket 250,000 and you are locked into the medical industrial complex. So again, my son’s life was saved. He had open heart surgery was required. There was nothing else going to save him. So I don’t, I’m not coming down on modern medicine.

But I’m telling you, Dave, I now believe that most of the surgeries were recommended are not necessary, are just for profit. Yeah, especially when you said the magic words to me when you said you were in the hospital for six days every day you’re in the bed and you don’t do the medical procedure. The revenue distribution is different from them. Insurance will pay more for the procedure than they will for the occupying the bed. And to me that’s the pressure they feel. And you don’t think that they know this? They, they are scored. See, I used to be in the mental health industry, okay? So I know how this game works.

With insurance, they score your effectiveness and your adherence to their pre prescribed treatment plans. And I’m being honest with you, there’s no individuality at all. It’s if A then B and if not B then C. And that’s how you’re trained to go through and do this. It’s true in mental health, it’s true in medicine and you’re highlighting it really? Well, what really bothers me, though, is I’m going to go back to this. Okay? Okay. And I’m glad I. I’m glad I have a background in statin research because I can filter through the BS, okay, 95% of the time we find it’s cancer with this.

Well, what about the 5% you don’t? Have you done a biopsy and put it under the microscope and have a positive affirmation that this is cancer? And I’m not hearing you say that, which means they were operating on you based on a prediction, not a diagnosis. Absolutely. They didn’t say 95%. Dave. I want to make it clear in front of my children and my family members. They said 99.5%. Okay. I would demand a biopsy. That’s the bottom line. Okay, well, I’m. I’m gonna disagree with you because I. I love you. I know your soul. But I’m gonna say I.

Thank God I didn’t get them to get a biopsy. No, I. Listen, I agree with you, but I’m saying before I’d submit to this, I’d have definitive evidence, but I don’t think I’d let myself get to the point where I would have a biopsy. But I’m saying for those poor souls that think they have to go on the operating table, on the say so, their doctor, I would say, demand definitive proof. That’s what I’m saying. Exactly. And that’s what I did. And they kept saying. They kept saying, that’s all the proof we need. It’s. You’ve got every one of these 15 second opinions.

I got 15 second opinions in the hospital. And every one of them marched to that beat. And so an average person’s brainwashed and go, wait a minute. I’m always told to get a second opinion. I’m getting the gastroenterologist. I’m getting the cardi. Not the cardiologist, the surgeon. I’m getting their two doctor underlings. I’m getting the palliative care. I’m getting the nutritionist. I’m getting the. The oncologist. Oh, boy. The oncologist is very calm. Nice man. Yes. John, this is a presentation. Apple core lesion. It’s not going to get better if it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat or if you.

Wow. It’s not going to get better. The GI guy who was the. The biggest guy in the world didn’t even come by. He just read my first CAT scan. I had a second one that I’ve still to this day, never see, seen. And eventually, when I’m 100% clear, clear that there’s nothing going on at all, I’m going to get another one. And, and I could, I could have, because I, because I’m in the truth movement and I don’t want people to say, well, you might still have that. You just, you’ve. You’re feeling better. Well, if I do, then I couldn’t be eating a, a cauliflower pizza last night.

I haven’t had pizza in, in, you know, years. But there was a cauliflower pizza that’s, that’s non GMO and non gluten I got to have last night. And so I’m eating choice of pizza. What’s that? That’s my choice of pizza. Well, I don’t, I haven’t eaten pizza in years. But, but, but I’m not trying to tell people I’m going to go start eating Doritos or poisonous foods. I’m gonna stay away from all those horrible things and, and, and continue eating. But you brought up something earlier, and I gotta address it. When I was saying I want to get out, they weren’t going to let me out.

They, they literally said, we can’t let you go, John. We’re going to have to take you to another hospital. We can’t let you out. I said, why? He said, because they read you your rights when they arrested you. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I was fearful, Dave, because I, I don’t. You hear these stories about, you know, people, you know, that are captured by the medical desert complex. But I said, well, wait a minute. Tell me what you mean when you can’t let me out. And I was negotiating for my life. Well, John, we would be signing a dot.

You’d be. Have to sign a document against medical advice. You don’t have to sign anything. No, that’s what they’re telling me, though. You’re gonna have to sign this document and then that doesn’t cover your insurance. Doesn’t get covered if you come back in where you’re gonna be for sure back in within 48 hours if we send you home. And none of it will be covered, it won’t be a deductible of 50,000. It’ll be, you got to pay the whole surgery. So, John, think hard about this, because if we sign, if you sign out with the AMA and you go out the door, you’re coming back with no insurance coverage.

Yeah, I’ve heard of this happening. Here’s my answer. Just denounce your citizenship Become an illegal alien. You get the surgery. Oh my God. Is that the truth? Is that the truth? Just sneak in through the well, now you can’t get in. But it is so true. But I was so convinced that, that I was making the right decision through this whole process and talking to my friends. I wasn’t worried about the insurance coverage. And even still, Dave, that because I calmly worked through it, never got mad and never had security come and never kind of fought through.

I just kept saying, look, do you think I’m, you think I’m making. You might think I’m naive, that I’m making this bad decision, but I can always get the surgery. Well yeah, you can, but it’s going to be way worse. Well, I can always get, I can try these methods. And yeah, and so I got the head, the head of the hospital. I have his name. I felt he was a nice guy. I felt he, he said, John, I’m the most integrative doctor in the here, in this hospital. I just know there’s no other option for you.

I’m not telling you this, John, because I just want you to have the surgery. I’m. I know there’s no other option for you. So what are they going to do, John? What are they going to do? You know, they’re going to blend up some juices and make you drink them. And you know what’s going to happen, John? How are they going to get rid of that? So no, here’s what I would have said to the guy. Let’s say it’s 10 o’ clock in the morning and you’re having this mass indoctrination meeting. And I would have said, well, if I have this at 10:05, is that okay? Yeah, well how about 11? How about 2:00 clock tomorrow afternoon? Then what the hell is the problem with me going out for a week? Exactly.

Boundary line that I’m gonna die if I don’t have the surgery by X amount of time. We had that exact discussion, Dave. And here’s what, here’s what we agreed. He and I agreed. I said, look, he says, John, is this, that’s that tube that you think is, you know, modern medicine. You don’t agree with it, that tube is saving your life. And all my naturopathic friends have said, yeah, if you didn’t have that tube, you’d continue throwing up and you’d have, you know, you’d have problems with, you know, lack of water in your system, all that kind of stuff.

And so I basically said, okay, look, we worked it out, him and I, and said, look, we’ll take the tube out, we’ll take the IV out, and I’ll stay for another 24 hours. And, you know, we’ll see if I’m. If I get sick again, we’ll talk about it. He said, yeah, if you get sick again and stuff, we have to put it back in then, John. There’s nothing happening. Well, I did, Dave. I took it out. I continued to have bowel movements. I continued to feel good. I started drinking some soup broth, and I was feeling all right.

I was feeling weak because I hadn’t eaten in weeks. Yeah, of course I was feeling weak and I was feeling. But I was feeling good. My stomach wasn’t hurting. And so then I kind of disappeared. It was the funniest thing. Like, literally no one was visiting me. And I had. Then I had to go, hey, are you guys going to let me out? And I almost felt like I could just walk out. No one would even know. They would even care. So I was disconnected from the tubes. I disconnected everything. And it still took 12 hours till the doctor came in and said, okay, you’re feeling fine.

Okay, great. All right, we’ll let you go when you come back in, you know. And they didn’t make me sign the against medical advice. They just gave me a sheet. That was the funniest thing. I still have it. It just says, do what your doctor says for you to do. That was what it said. It was basically two pages. Nothing. There was no drugs. There was no nothing on it. There was zero. And I walked out the front door on Saturday morning after entering the pits of he double toothpicks, as my dad used to make us say.

I entered the pits and I walked out still okay and alive. And that started the 40 days of 40 days, nights of me getting better. And like I said, I had some bad days, but I. But I continue to get better. I used all the protocols that everybody said I should use. And now I feel. I feel like I’m a new man. I feel like it’s year one, into my 120 years. I’m going to live. I feel so great. I have such great energy. I literally flew into Tulsa at 3 o’ clock in the morning, got up at 6 in the morning, flew back on Sunday, drove 12 hours, did five podcasts on Tuesday.

Today I’ve got two or three. And I’m telling the story, getting out there, but I’m not stupid enough to go, look, you can go back to eating the garbage you were eating there’s things I have had to change about my diet. But I’m feeling great, Dave. And I’ve learned to be more humble when I’m talking to people because the amount of stress and pressure that’s on you to go get the surgery in American medicine, you got to get the surgery. I got to go Tuesday get the surgery. You got to schedule me in. That’s what our whole system is about.

Cutting out body parts and organs and things in our body that are. That there’s natural God given cheap answers to my entire all the things I took avoiding the 250000 surgery I think I added it up was like 11 or 12 thousand dollars and some of it’s still covered by my by my Medishare Pro hospitalization Pro. I have a medi share which is a Christian program. They cover it. So my out of pocket was maybe 10,000. My out of pocket just for the surgery they want to do one day would have been 50,000. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

So they were covered. Anybody that tells me, well, you know it’s not covered by insurance, well, I just gained back all those years of my life that they said they’d get me to 70 with a colostomy bag and a walker and all these medications and going back to the hospital every 30 days and 60 days. Now, Dave, I never seriously considered doing the surgery and I never considered at all chemotherapy, radiation. But all my family members, they were hearing just this much. They just heard this much because they couldn’t possibly sit and listen. Everything they were all saying, well, dad or John or whatever, maybe you should just, you know, consider it.

And you know, this is I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want you to die. So voting machines are accurate and the doctors are never wrong. That’s right. That’s how I look at this. MRNA vaccines are the best thing you could ever do because it’s going to prevent you from MRNA vaccines are going to prevent you from getting a deficiency disease, Dave. It’s preposterous. But they throw it at us and 90% of the people take it. And I used to tell people what are you crazy? Why would you even listen to these doctors tell them to shut up.

That’s just not the way it works. If you go I had RSV and strip lung linings and it was the precursor what I told you about I did for my knee. So I was recovering from that. I was told by specialists, Dave, at your age, those lung linings aren’t coming back. They wanted me just to give up and die. What does that mean? Well, you’ll be on oxygen in six months and blah blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay? And I said like hell. And. And they still had these Covid restrictions so they wouldn’t let my wife come in the.

The waiting room and stuff. So I go back out to the car and get in the car, and she says, what do you think? I said, I gotta fight like hell. Because I said these guys are full of bleep and. And they just want me to give up and quit. And she goes, well, I know that’s not who you are. And so I started out, someone gave me a natural product. It was great. But also too, I had help of God and I was determined. And. And I’m telling the flip side of your story, John, because you got bad advice, I got no advice.

Those are the two extremes of medical malpractice. Yep. And. And that’s what I. That’s what I. This is my new thing. I’ve always wanted to tell people about Laetrol and B17 and a natural answer to cancer. But it’s not just the only thing. There’s lots of things out there that help us for all sorts of things. My, the sadness I feel that John Richardson had to have all that. 30 years of background and 50 medical or nutritional therapist doctors are all helping me give me all this advice. The average person doesn’t have any of that, Dave.

And you said you got no advice. There’s hundreds of thousands of people like you that walk into the hospital, think I’m about to get the best treatment that money can buy. The fact is they’re only getting half the story. It may be the best treatment that pharmaceutical money can buy and you know, surgery money can buy, but it’s not the best treatment that leaves your body whole and gets to the root of the issue. Because so much of modern medicine, Pfizer’s been around 175 years. And I challenge people all the time, email me with one disease they’ve ever cured.

They don’t. They want repeat business. So they suppress symptomology and knowing it’ll come back. And you go back and they keep this gravy train of medical reoccurrence issues over and over and over. And you know, I’ve been saying this too. Cancer treatment, 1980, 2025. Where’s the improvement, the improvements in the private sector away from these people. That’s exactly right. And we have thousands of cases of people that are healing, healing themselves. And we have thousands of cases. Let Me give credit to the medical industrial complex. We have thousands of cases of doctors who are dear friends of mine that are moving out of the standards of care and now opening up their patients.

Because if I get in a car accident, Dave, tomorrow driving to your house and break my legs and my arm, it doesn’t matter how many apricot seeds I eat, Dave, my arms aren’t going to be straight and cast. I’m going to have to go to the medical industrial complex and get my bones straightened. And if I have, I’m going to have to do that. And that, that’s what, that’s their place, that’s where they should be. But right now this out of control System is treating 95% of deficiency diseases and we’ve had 1/1 millionth of the funding to discover what vitamin C really does for us or vitamin D or some of the things you’ve taken.

We’ve gotten 11 millionth of the funding. All the funding has gone to finding man made chemical pharmaceutical options. And they make trillions. They make billions. And they have, you know, every super bowl sponsored by Pfizer. I couldn’t believe when I watched the super bowl this year and there was a two minute commercial from Pfizer about how they’re going to come up with an MRNA for vaccine for cancer. I mean I was like, am I living in the twilight zone when we know that, we know that cancer is a deficiency disease and all you got to do is eat enough amygdalin and have the other properties.

Do you think cancer is a metabolic disease too? Absolutely. And I’ll stand up on the top of the mountain and continue to say that it is 100% a metabolic deficiency disease. You know how I know that? Because any society in the world that you study, including the Hunzas and CNBC did an article on it, Dave should have been front page news. But the Hunzas live to be 120 years old and CNBC in February of 2024 said in an article, the number one thing that they do that makes it so they live over 100 years is eat apricot seeds.

That’s what cnbc said in 2024. There’s a study by the NIH, Dave, that says that amygdalin that’s found in apricot seeds causes apoptosis in cancer cells. But this morning when I woke up and there’s a video going viral on TikTok, I see all these doctors go, well show us these studies. Prove us that this has happened. Show us these Case histories. Dave, there’s so much proof. I don’t, how do I possibly. I’m not that doctor who thinks he was trained at a medical hospital said I would have been taught about this stuff if I was. If that was true.

No, you wouldn’t have been taught because all. It’s like training a plumber about how to be an electrician. You would not go to a plumber that took, it was a four year plumber and then ask him to wire your house when you go to a mic. They know how to treat you with drugs, surgery and you know, radiation and then other pharmaceutical answers. That’s all they know. They don’t know that you should be eating organic food. They don’t know that you should be eating food that’s, that’s good for you. That, all that kind of stuff they don’t know.

They haven’t been taught it at all. And I get some of them to tearfully admit to me when they’ve been woken up by the COVID scam, which it was, they’ve woken up with that they’ve admitted to me, John, the problem is I’ve spent 20 years learning that system. I have to unlearn that to relearn the truth. And they’re, they’re willing to do it, they’ll do whatever it takes, but they have to unlearn a lot of things that they thought were right to, to learn the proper stuff. Whereas you, Dave, probably know more than the top 100 doctors at the biggest hospital, you know, wherever you live in some areas.

I’ll give you example, Hypertension, Xanax versus meditation. Okay? And here’s the problem. You stop taking the Xanax, those effects diminish and you also have side effects with it. But then with the meditation, you’re changing your way of thinking and so it becomes a permanent solution. And that’s as simple as I can make it. I could go deeper and get into brain biology and bore everybody, right. And tell you right now that, you know, when I was practicing mental health therapy and I really got into the biological psychology, the neurology of things, I began to see how flawed the medical system was and it was just treating symptoms.

And when you rewire the brain, for example, you can train people to block pain to a certain degree. You just have to redirect the message away from the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain where you feel the pain and it’s not hard to do. But you have to know how to get into the right state of consciousness and the process of going there, and about 75% of the people can do it, and about 10% of the people can resist any kind of pain. Remember the Eastern gurus that lay on a bed of nails? Those are the people that I’m talking about.

And so I’m not saying the power of the mind is the answer to all medical issues. It’s not. But it’s something that’s almost totally ignored by the medical establishment when it could be helping people. I couldn’t agree with you more, Dave. And so the epiphany as we wrapping this up, because I do have another podcast that I’m getting on, but as we’re wrapping this up, I just want people to realize you’ve got to be your own best doctor. You’ve got to start. I know it seems daunting. It’s not complicated. God said in Genesis 1:29, Dave, you shall have the seed for thy food.

I know I’ve got all these keto people and these carnivore diet people say, wait a minute, you got an animal. Yes, I’m an animal flesh eater, too. I eat, I love steak and things like that. But God said, you shall have the seed for thy food. And so when they’re taking it out, they’re making seedless watermelon, seedless apples, seedless grapes, seedless everything. The system, the food system’s broken. That’s just a tiny symptom, just like what Dave said. Junior, you know, you brought up the apricot seeds. They are great for treating a lot of the things, including the big C.

And, and I’m telling people right now, I have amazing reports from people that have heard you on my show before. And we turned them onto the apricot seeds, and some of them have done 180s on their health condition. They’ve totally turned around. And I’ve got this from people in my audience. And you’ve got a special deal for people in my audience. I think it’s RNC. Store.com, dave. Yes, it is. Yeah, I think, guys, you can go in there and I forget the amount of the discount. But even without a discount, if you didn’t have the discount, you’re still going to get a product that makes a difference to people that have been in my audience.

And, John, if I was going through anything similar to you or I got the big C diagnosis, you would be the first person I would call. Yep. Well, David, I appreciate that. And I want your audience to hear this important message. Don’t jump out of the airplane and then get your parachute. Eat five to six apricot seeds a day. Ed Griffin, who’s 93, said he doesn’t know anybody. Dave, that’s died of cancer that regularly eats apricot seeds and amygdala. Now, you don’t have to get an apricot seed. You can get it in all sorts of different foods.

It’s not the. Don’t just have to buy it from John. You can change your diet and eat it in 1200 different foods. You’re so honest, John. You’re such an honest person. I mean, seriously. And I’m glad you came on to tell your story, the personal journey, because what the message is here from both of us is that always get a second opinion, okay? And don’t reject the medical establishment, but realize that in some of these areas, they’re not always going to operate in your best interest. That’s why you need a second opinion. And again, I’m encouraging everyone to get the benefit of many people from my audience in the past.

RNC store.com. dave. And you will get a discount. I’m only. Sorry, I think it’s 10 if I remember right. 10. But they also can watch videos. Go to the. Exactly. Yeah, they can watch videos and all sorts of stuff for free too, by using your discount code. So thank you so much, Dave. God bless you. Can’t wait to us to do this again. I have a whole lot more stuff to tell you that’s going on, so get me on again and we’ll talk about. We’ll talk about all the things that are going in the Maha movement.

I’m speaking this Friday in Scottsdale with Mike Tyson on stage, who’s a health advocate, and Tito Ortiz. I’m on a. Oh, wow. Yeah. Council meeting this Friday. You’re in the safest place in the city. Yes, yes, I will be. It’s an amazing organization. I don’t have time to tell. Tell people, but. But I just, I just. Okay, I know you got a scooter. Yeah. Let you go. The audience stay on with me for a minute longer. John, thanks so much. We’ll have you back on soon. God bless you. Bye bye. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you have heard John Richardson and I tell you he’s the real deal.

This is why I keep having him on about every six to eight months. Because what he is offering you has worked for people in my audience. In fact, you know, I was talking to someone about this interest I got John coming on my show and they suggested, well, Dave, why aren’t you doing this preventatively and I wanted to bring that up with John but we ran out of time. Well, guess what I’m going to do? I’m going to take advantage of my own code and go to the RNC store.com Dave and and I’m going to start doing this preventatively.

I’ve heard too many good stories. I’ve been at places where I’ve spoken in a conference, a convention and I’ll have people come up to me and say, hey, thanks for having John on. I had such and such problem and this turned it around. But I always tell you this. Consult with your doctor. I am not a doctor. I’m not giving you medical advice. But I will tell you this. I really mean it when I say when you’re dealing with life threatening issues, you need to get a second opinion. I even did it on my knee. Well, how long can I expect to go, doc? Do I really have to have this? What’s the downside of me not doing it? Well, how much pain do you want to live with? Well, I think a lot better than a year of rehab.

And right now I’m not looking at having reconstructive knee surgery because I had a natural product. And natural medicine is not the answer on by itself and neither is modern medicine the answer and by itself. Anyway, I’m glad I could bring you this show and I hope it’s been of use to some of you. And if you walk away with nothing else from what we’ve done here to saying something serious, doctor, I love you, but it’s my life. I’ve got to get a second opinion and I know you respect that and you do the same thing.

If you have walked away with that wisdom that you’re going to implement, if you’re ever in that situation, then this show has been worth it. And this is what we stand for here on the Common Sense show. You know, we’re decidedly Christian and we are here to help people. We’re here to help you prepare. We’re here to help you correct. But we’re mostly just here for you, to help you in any way that we can. Again, thank you for joining us. God bless all of you. We’ll see you back here again next time.
