0:00.0	This is the main thing that I try to teach is that the body has incredible healing
0:05.3	potential and it is able to take care of most things that go wrong by itself and
0:10.3	there are some things you can do from outside to help it, but cure healing comes from within.
0:16.0	And the practical problem that I see is that most people I meet do not have confidence in their body's own potential.
0:23.0	And so I really try to make people aware of that.
0:25.4	I find it easier to talk to kids about that

1:07.1	this and her blood pressure is low and you know this is not uncommon you go to a
1:11.0	doctor's office and it creates anxiety but on the basis of one
1:14.6	elevated reading you know she was given a prescription for a powerful anti-hypertensive
1:19.4	drug.
1:22.4	Hi I'm Rachel, and in this show, we talk about everything. Life and work, health and healing,
