The 3 Dimensions of Healing: Physical, Emotional and Spiritual | 006

Dr. Fab Mancini: What I thought today it would be a good opportunity to share with you some information and what I discovered over 25 years in practice, lecturing, researching, what are the three dimensions of self healing? You see, I know we're talking about chronic disease and what is the root cause of our problems. But one of the things that I did is that I started interviewing over 50 patients, some of them mine, some of them other friends that were told that they could never heal, but their body actually healed. And I was very interested in at least identifying, what were those common denominators, what allows somebody's body to heal from a deadly condition, chronic disease that somebody else has not been able to do so now we all know that health is very personalized. We all know that the one size fits all mentality of traditional healthcare has not worked, and it will never work, because your body and my body are very different. Not only are we different genetically, which is about 10 or 15% of the foundation of our health, but it's different because of our lifestyle, because of our epigenetics. So in this book, one of the things that I discover by interviewing these individuals is that we recognize that self healing, the healing power of the body. My book was called The Power of self healing became an international best selling sensation is still selling today, after 10 years, more than ever in this book, I recognized that there were three dimensions to healing. The first one was physical, which is the one that most of us live in. We look at our physical body and we try to find a physical solution to a physical problem. But that's not the biggest then I realized that they were those patients that were telling me that their root cause was emotional, maybe a resentment or an anger that persisted for years, that turned into potentially cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or perhaps somebody that was telling me that their depression and anxiety got to the point that their bodies broke down. So there's an emotional dimension to self healing. And lastly, this is the one that I personally felt all alone in my career of 38 years in this space that is really critical, and that is the spiritual dimension you see. We have to recognize that we are not human beings living a spiritual experience. We're actually spiritual beings living a human experience. And when you begin to look at life as a spiritual being, you begin to see potential, you begin to see perfection. You begin to see what is possible out there, instead of the limitations of a human being. So many of these patients were telling me that when they tapped into their faith, when they went into a meditation, when they recognized that nature was one of the greatest sources for them to heal all in the spiritual world, that's when their condition reversed. That's when their condition subsided. And that's really one of the things that I wanted to kind of share with you a little bit today, because I think as we're talking through this podcast about not only ending chronic disease, but also really understanding where health comes from. To me the secret and the reason that 38 years ago, I decided to become a doctor of chiropractic and then later on study acupuncture, energy, medicine, nutrition and many of the technologies out there that are helping us heal is because I realized that chemistry was not going to be the answer for over 80 to 90% of our chronic diseases. I knew that we have to tap into something bigger, because we have never seen chemistry pharmaceuticals actually eradicate any of the chronic diseases. I mean, they're lingering today more than ever, and we have to think differently. We have to think differently. And I get excited because I feel that at least here in the United States, I know this is being heard all over the world, but I clear the United States, we have somebody with Robert Kennedy Jr, that is actually trying to figure out the efficiencies and effectiveness of a health care system that is broken. But let me tell you, I travel all over the world. I lecture in over 25 countries. I have just seen American Airlines almost 4 million miles. And I can tell you.

That most of the country's health care systems are broken, and that is because they're living on a paradigm that is about managing symptoms rather than getting to the root cause of the problem. And let me break down for you, at least the physical dimension of self healing. This is, this is really exciting for me, because I recognize, the more I got into healthcare, right in my studies, I decided to go to pre med. And in my pre med, I had amazing professors, and I went to a very incredible school at the University of Dallas. And then when I started parking University and got into my chiropractic work, I started taking courses like biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, embryology. These are all the basic science that really show us how incredible our human body is. This is actually a healing machine. Our bodies are designed to self regulate and self heal. I wrote about that in my book. I've been lecturing about that for many years, and I want people to understand that this is really something they already have. It's not something you have to go out there and travel somewhere far in the world to try to find an answer, no. You live in it every single day. You're just not activating it. So that's one of the things that I want you to really pay attention as you listen to this podcast, is the fact and reminder that you already have a self healing mechanism. Then we also recognize that of the things that I evaluated out there over 25 years that were the most impactful to this physical body. Nutrition was way up there. Now we know that today, people say that food is the new medicine, and they're not wrong. We're not going to find solutions in pharmaceuticals and chemistry that is created in a lab. We're going to find solutions by watching what it is that we put in this body of ours. You know, I gave this metaphor that if you look at your body, has a high performance card, let's say that you bought a Lamborghini, and now you're going to take the Lamborghini and you run out of gas, so you're going to go to the gas station, and the gas station, when you pull the nozzle, is going to give you options of what type of gas would you like to purchase, and you have from the cheapest to the most expensive. Now I can tell you that I don't know anybody that owns a Lamborghini that's going to put the cheapest gas into that cart. Why? Because it's a high performance card. It's like you're not going to use the cheap oil to change the oil is not going to you going to miss maintenance, because a high performance car, the only way that is going to give you the value of the money that you invested in it is by actually maintaining it with the best sources of chemistry and Maintenance and automobiles that you can find. Now imagine that you are this high performance car. So right now your body is your Lamborghini, and your mouth has a flap. Just imagine it for a minute. It has a flap that is going to say, instead of unleaded and super unleaded and the best possible is going to remind you every time you open your mouth, the flap is going to open, and it's going to say, consume more organic vegetables, consume less processed foods, consume less sugar. Foods, consume less toxicity in plastics, all of these things is going to tell you, and that's what you need to pay attention to. So I want you to play with me and begin to think of your body as a high performance card, and recognize that food is essential for that card to perform at the highest level. Then I realized that other than food, there was another thing that the data, research and science kept talking about, and that is the benefits of exercise movement. You see, our bodies are physical bodies. They are meant to move, not only to increase circulation, but increase the neurological pathways that are communicating in your body every day, in and out. A lot of times people ask me, Well, fab, why did you decide on chiropractic? Well, chiropractic is the leading natural health science in the world, and I wanted to be in that particular entity because I wanted to have the biggest impact that I could I did not want to prescribe. I wanted to engage my patients into taking responsibility for their health, and more importantly, I wanted to be in that space of promotion of health and wellness, and that's the reason that they honor me as one of the Hall of Famers of the wellness revolutionary movement. So I want you to think of your body as something that needs to move cause. Recently, if you're sitting down in a job, make sure that every 30 minutes you get up and even for two or three minutes, walk around your office, go walk around the hallway, maybe go rock around outside your building, but just move your body. Lately, I've seen that a lot of people have been using these medicine balls as their chairs. You know, I have a very fancy, ergonomic chair. Why? Because it keeps my form, my structure, in a very good place as I'm sitting down and working. But at the same time, I know that my watches reminded me to get up every 15 minutes and move around. Why do I do that? Is because I know that my body needs to be moved. So whether it's taking a walk with your dogs, whether it's just enjoying your neighborhood, whether it's going to a gym and doing something, doesn't matter what you do, just do something, get on the bike, get on the treadmill, lift some weights, or perhaps go into a park and playing with your kids, or maybe having the ability to run and run in your streets or whatever, but just move your bodies. And lastly, I realized that we needed to implement natural health professions. You see, many of these patients were telling me that traditional medicine was not giving them any answers, and they began to seek a second opinion or a third opinion, and for some people, a fifth opinion. It How can a different profession be able to support my tissue? So I give you an example for me as a doctor of chiropractic, many of our patients will come to us because they wanted to prevent a surgery of the back, let's say a des herniation. So they will come to me and say, well, I already had two opinions. They did an MRI, and they said I needed to have this surgery. Well, they didn't want to go under the knife, and they were seeking chiropractic care because somebody told them that maybe we could help them. So what we do is we evaluate that patient from a very different perspective than a medical doctor. We actually evaluate that patient, first of all, evaluating their structure, right? We take a look at all the vertebras and see how well they are aligned. Then we know that if the vertebras are not aligned properly, it can impact the soft tissue, which is your nerves, your discs, your ligaments, your muscles. So then we start looking at how do we correct that? And then we look at things like decompression, laser and other supplements that can actually help bring down the inflammation that is causing the herniation. And what do you know within three, six weeks, eight weeks, maybe that patient now no longer needs a surgery. See, that's a different approach. That's a holistic approach. But when you go to an acupuncturist, right, and they're going to evaluate your meridians, which is the energy or the QI of your body, right? And they have all the different meridians, and they're going to see whether it's too much energy, or two liter energy in those meridians, and they put a simple needle, or they do electrical acupuncture, or they do cupping, or whatever the form may be, they're going to treat that condition in a different place. So those were the three things that I identify as some of the most powerful things that you can do to self heal the dimension of a physical body. I'm going to recap it for you just so you know. The first one is, make sure that you recognize that the body has the ability to heal itself. And then the three things are, one, pay attention to the food that you eat right. Number two, move your body every single day, throughout the day. And lastly, add a natural holistic profession, like chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, functional medicine, regenerative medicine, all of these new components that have actually shown, not only through science, but through a lot of practicality of patients, that they can help you now, Harvard Medical School said that exercise and all can reduce the cost of mortality by over 30% do you imagine that If you can just exercise on a daily basis, your mortality can be reduced by 30% that means you're going to live longer, right? Everybody's right now looking for longevity, well, exercise is one of the best things. And also, there was a blue souls research. As you know, blue souls are the areas where we have the healthiest people in the world living. And what they found is that these people have one thing in common, a nutrient dense, anti inflammatory food diet. That means that the foods that they eat are not processed, which has no nutritional value, very little.
