You can see how those physical things have this emotional component to them. If you've got diabetes, for example, and the doctor goes, well, you've got diabetes. Well, why do I have diabetes?

Whereas what I want to know is what are all the stresses and triggers that have been flipped, activated, switched on, in what order to mean that you have that genetic expression of an actual disease? Because you could have a genetic disposition for an ailment and never have that ailment if you don't have things stressing you, stressing your body, stressing your chemical makeup that flip those switches that say, yes, now it's going to be activated and shown expressed in the body. I truly believe that if we find the right switches, we can heal anything and everything.
