Phil Faris: It sounds like the way you help people is to use their blood work to identify what issues are going on in their body. The solution is often changing the way they eat. That may mean some inconvenience by going to a food market to get good sources of protein instead of going to McDonald’s or going to a Jewel, or Safeway, wherever they buy their protein and vegetables. The goal is to make sure that they’re putting good fuel into their body. Is that it?
Doc Moe: Yes, I would agree with that. However, you can get away with all your vegetables from somewhere else. They don’t have to be perfect. Organic vegetables are very expensive. But when you start talking about your protein, or if you’re eating animals, you better make sure they’re from a good source. That’s the biggest problem I see with food.
Phil Faris: Okay, so make sure that your protein source is a good source. That’s something that you can control. The other is to take sugar and eliminate it, because even if you don’t have diabetes, you may be pre-diabetic. The idea is to find that out sooner rather than later; this empowers you to change your lifestyle before you must start taking drugs.
Doc Moe: Right, I mean, no one’s ever going to be perfect with this, Phil. But you must think if it doesn’t have a mother or didn’t come out of the ground, it probably isn’t good for you. I go to Walmart, and I look in people’s baskets, and everybody’s basket is loaded with things that aren’t even food. I mean, you could take that food home and put it on a counter, and it could stay there for six months, and nothing would happen to it. That is not food. It has nothing to do with human health. Nothing. This is what people are eating, and then everybody’s surprised that everybody’s sick.
Phil Faris: When you work with clients, you do a blood workup. Then how do you work with them? I know you not only work with people in Florida, but you work with people all over the country. So how do you work with clients to make sure that they’re putting the right things in their body so their body can heal itself?
Doc Moe: I’m a purist, and I like to keep things very simple. I don’t get into recipes and all this kind of stuff because most people eat the same thing every day. Most people are not at their home cooking and making all these fabulous meals every day. It just isn’t happening anymore, unless they’re a chef. My feeling is that people need the basics, and when it comes to that, when you look at these proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, the number one thing that helps you digest, or it has to go on each time you eat a trillion times to get something into a cell is magnesium.
Along with that is oxygen. So, I may help people with oxygen and magnesium first. I know that sounds crazy, but I use transdermal magnesium. Your doctors can’t tell you if you’re magnesium deficient because you can only tell is if you take a swab inside your cheek and get some tissue because all the magnesium in our body is in the tissue. It’s not in your blood or the serum. I might just say, “Here, do this transdermal magnesium for a month, and I want you to get something next to your computer that you’re going to use. A simple, little device you can get on Amazon, that’s going to teach you how to breathe. Because most people don’t even know how to breathe. I know that sounds so simple, but it’s powerful stuff.
I mean, I have one on my desk right now. I use it every day. Breathing is huge, and every time you talk to someone, oxygen is so critical. I mean, it’s the first thing they put on you when you get to the hospital, right? Everybody knows how important oxygen is, and nobody’s breathing properly. Because everyone’s so stressed out, it gets even worse. It’s like we’re being chased by a lion all day long. That’s not how it’s supposed to be. We’re only supposed to be chased by a lion for two minutes, not all-day long. When you’re not breathing right, all of a sudden you get a little bit anxious, then there’s more stress involved. So, I give clients supplements to help their upper digestion and then teach them how to breathe. I might put them on magnesium also, because that’s a big deal, especially for hearts, Phil. You may be interested in that.
Phil Faris: I am.
Doc Moe: Heart disease, most heart attacks are caused by no magnesium. But you’re not going to hear that from the cultural authority.
I know that sounds general, but it’s very true. I bet if you checked, most people that have heart problems, which I’ve had myself, involves these kinds of things. Maybe oxygen too. Maybe poor breathing habits, magnesium, and probably throw some bad food in there. But there’s always a cause. You just must keep looking and keep looking. Sometimes it may take three to five years to find out what it is that you’re doing or not doing that’s causing the problem.
Phil Faris: That’s why you talk about there’s no magic bullet?
Doc Moe: No because everybody’s different. But everybody needs the same nutrients.
Phil Faris: It’s just finding out through their blood work what’s going on in their body so they can make the correction necessary, but it’s stuff that they can do themselves.
