Summary
Well, this is it… This is the story that I’ve been waiting to tell you for over a year.
If you’ve been a part of my audience for any time at all, you are probably aware that I suffered a mysterious brain injury in June of 2018 that almost killed me.
I haven’t really shared anything more than that over the past 12 months for two reasons…
First, we had no idea what happened, and I didn’t want to talk about it until we did because that’s really just not very helpful to anyone.
And second, I wanted to wait until there was some kind of happy ending to this situation so that I could bring it around full circle and share what I learned from it.
Well, thankfully I’m happy to say that we did figure out what took place about 3 months ago, and I have been getting better ever since. While I’m still not sleeping normally just yet, my brain is back online. I can think, I can speak, and my energy levels have started to return.
And I’ll just say this… The culprit was shocking. This whole mess was caused by a household toxin that’s in your home right now. It’s something that you’re breathing every day, and whether or not it affects you is simply a matter of your level of exposure.
If you have any friends or family members with a chronic or undiagnosed illness, they could definitely be suffering from the same thing, so please share this with them so they can get tested asap.
Now during the past year, I’ve always said that when I’m ready to tell this story, I wanted to do it around a table with the people who helped me through it, which is exactly what we did.
So today I’m joined by my friend Aubrey Marcus who hosted this interview, along with Krisstina Wise, and my physician, Dr. Ann Shippy. We held this group discussion at Aubrey’s office, and you can watch the entire interview on video at MikeDillard.com/heal
While this situation has been the single biggest challenge of my life, it has also been the most rewarding because of the personal work and transformation that it forced me to do, including all kinds of psychedelic medicine which we’ll be talking about today.
This is one hell of a story, and this is definitely the most personal interview I’ve ever given, so thank you for your support during this past year, and I’m incredibly grateful that I’m back to work so I can help you guys and serve you in any way that I can.
Without further ado, let’s dive in…
