And then the lunch is regular food, but only real food with no chemicals. And there's a list of foods that you can and you cannot eat. And it's basically the five big ones are no dairy, no sugar, no coffee, no alcohol, no gluten.
Yeah, there's so much life. You know, I'm now running retreats. I guide retreats. I know you said that. I take people to very natural environments and I take a bunch of other healers with me. Ayurvedic medicine doctors, a massage therapist, some biohackers that are really good. And I bring all of them with me and we gather about 30, 40 people in these places and we put them on the CLEAN program.
And they also have all these other therapies. And that really accelerates healing. Because that's the other thing is we're busy. So yeah, maybe you're avoiding, maybe you're eating right. And you're avoiding the things that you need to avoid. And you're taking the right supplements. And it's still not going to work. Why? I'll tell you a story.
In this last retreat in Argentina, there was this woman that, just like you, intelligent, has a good living, knows a lot of people, so she can see many specialists. She has money. Yeah, very smart woman. She comes to me. For years, she's been having digestive issues. And lately, like two weeks before she came to me, she was diagnosed with SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, right?
So the story is that she gets bloated like crazy and she wakes up in the middle of the night and she's constipated. I mean, she has many, many other symptoms of SIBO, but they come and go and it's confusing. So when I sat down with her and I started talking with her, in functional medicine, we do our history taking in a different way. We start when they were born.
You know, were you born by C-section or natural birth, which is already a difference? Were you breastfed or not? When you were little, did you miss school because of lung infections, ear infections, throat infections? Did you get antibiotics? And then at some point in life, there's a defining moment where things change.
for some people it's an accident or surgery or their mother died or they had a traumatic event of some type and life changes, right? So when I got to that point, I realized there was a heavy history, a familiar thing with her father and who had died. And I could see, because I'm really focused when I'm talking to her, I could see that the moment we got to that point in the history taking,
Even her way of expressing herself, confusion. So I looked at her, I said, listen, I see two huge problems here. I'm not sure about your diagnosis of SIBO. I see that you're constipated. She was pooping every five, six days, which is a big problem. So I have this, I buy here in LA and I smuggle them to Argentina.
These bottles called implantoramas, which are like a little colonic machine that you can take with you, right? So I take them there and I give them to the people. So I gave her one and I instruct her to do a coffee colonic. It's a little bottle. At least she gets coffee. With a tube, you put it inside your butt and then you pump it up and the The thing goes, right?
Either water or water and coffee or coffee, right? So for her, we needed some coffee because, I mean, severe constipation. And I said, and maybe what you need to heal is a trauma. And it's like an intuitive thing because I just saw her get so disturbed after she was telling me about this family problem, right?
It happened to be that the next activity in the retreat was family constellations. And I don't know if you know what that is. I was explaining to you before. Well, yeah, what is family constellation? So it's a therapy mode in which a therapist, in this case a psychologist, gets the whole group of people and says, who has a problem that they want to explore, right? So people come.
They put them in the middle of the circle. And he starts asking in a very particular way about the problem the text presents. what the problem is. And then, so then let's say the problem is the father and the sister. So then they choose somebody to represent the father and somebody to represent the sister. And they go into this thing.
And the way that they're guided into this conversation, they have to speak. Even the ones that are representing them, they have to say what they feel. Something happens. I don't know. She went into the family constellation. She had a huge breakthrough of something that happened with her father. I didn't go into it very, very deeply when we were talking because, you know. Yeah, yeah.
But so she went into that. She had a huge breakthrough, went to her room, had a coffee enema, had the best poop of her life. And the next day, fantastic. Flat as a board, zero symptoms. She was completely fine. For the next five days, zero symptoms. Something that hasn't happened to her in three years. Being four days in a row, five days in a row without symptoms.
I think it's a combination. I think it's a combination. That's why I'm saying that sometimes even the clean program, which is a great, or any gut repair program, I mean, I found a few that are really good around the world. There's ones that I really like. There's a guy in Argentina called Nestor Palmeti, and he has a center where people go out for retreats as well.
He's way, way more strict and limiting than, you know, he's vegetarian.
I wouldn't say that.
It's all relative. But I really respect this guy. He has great results. He's not even a doctor. He was a journalist who was very sick himself and then started studying. And then, you know, when detailed journalists go into something and they learn, they become amazing. Yeah. He has the information. Like, wow. Wow. So there are some out there, right? But a good gut repair program is many times...
Good by itself, but many times you need other things. Yeah. So some people... I'm going to try your retreat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be my guest.
