What was your goal for being on the show?
I love educating people.
In fact, that was my first career.
I wrote it in my first memoir
about my time with the Navajo people.
You know the Navajos, you know, Native Americans.
And this was 53 years ago.
I was a school teacher.
And during my 10-year search for my purpose,
each thing I did, like Peace Corps
and outbound teaching students and so forth,
and then teaching on the Navajo reservation,
in each place I realized that I am an educator at heart.
And I'm that kind of educator as a doctor too.
I'm not willing to say, do this and do that
like I'm the boss and you do what I say
and don't ask questions.
I think that's disgusting, that approach.
When a patient comes to me, I educate them.
I tell them why the diet makes a difference.
I tell them why this supplement might do this and that.
I don't just say, take it.
I don't do that.
So as an educator, I'm looking for every possibility
to educate the public if they want to be educated.
I learned the hard way that you only,
my son reminded me of this because he said,
mom, you wanna help everybody.
Some people don't wanna be helped.
And mom, you should stick with just people
who come to you for help and pay you for help.
They pay you so they have skin in their hands.
They pay you for help, they pay you so they have skin
in the game and they're not just getting free care,
which they can just blow off and not take seriously.
And he's right.
He's absolutely right.
I should share my gifts with people who ask me to
and but there's a lot of people out there
that don't know this stuff.
And I would love to share with people who are interested
in learning how to be healthy.
