---------- Originally Aired on the Good Foods Podcast ----------
It was an absolute honor to be able to spend this time talking about Barbara’s journey, and why she chose this path and how she started on this journey in the first place.
The interesting thing about this entire conversation is that throughout it and throughout her life, she sees the beauty in the body’s ability to heal itself if we only listen. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed created it for you.
Barbara O'Neill was born in 1953 in Ingleburn, NSW, Australia, a second child with one older brother and three younger sisters. Her father owned and operated a Shell Service Station at Lugarno, NSW, and Barbara had the misfortune to see her mother die at the young age of 51 from rheumatoid arthritis. Barbara's first work on leaving school was as a hairdresser and some years later trained and worked as a psychiatric nurse at North Ryde Psychiatric Hospital.
Barbara’s passionate interest in health knowledge led her to study all that she could and was particularly interested in cause and effect. In the mid 1990’s she obtained a Diploma in Naturopathy, and later in 2005 as a Nutritionist.
Barbara’s real healing success springs from the knowledge of the body’s ability to heal itself, and then working ‘with’ the body to achieve the healing response. In addition to her passion for health, Barbara embraced Christianity and became a Seventh-day Adventist at 26 years of age.
This put her on a new path to look at the human body in the light that it is not a product of random un-controlled evolution, but that it was intricately designed with all its inbuilt mechanisms to self-heal. Barbara was particularly inspired by the health writings of a 19th-century female writer Ellen G White.
After her marriage breakdown in 1993, Barbara put her energies into raising her six children and in 1996 moved to Queensland where she worked at Living Valley Springs Health Retreat as a Naturopath. It was here she renewed an old friendship with the Retreat Business Manager Michael O’Neill, and they were married in October 1997.
The following year, Barbara, and her family of now eight children, (Michael had two children), moved to Narbethong, Victoria where they started a health retreat for a non-profit organization. They continued there for nearly six years, and in 2003 relocated to their new property near Bellbrook, NSW.
They then started their new venture, Misty Mountain Health Retreat. Over the years Barbara has become a highly sort after health lecturer, as people appreciate her commonsense approach to health problems. Barbara’s lecture series have circulated around the globe via video, DVD and YouTube.
They have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and have brought relief to thousands of suffering individuals as they embrace the simple and powerful laws of health. Barbara’s great passion and life work lies in the educating of people in the correct health principles that lead to longer, healthier, and happier lives.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello. I'm Barbara and Neil lover of the Creative Teacher,
author himself Healed by Design, and this is the Group
of Foods podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All of us are on a journey towards better health
and we're grateful that you've allowed us to join you
on your quest in this episode.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So I always investigate and if the person has sawed me,
I say to them have you ever had an injury
to your neck? And then I say what sort of
work do you do? I ask how much or do
they drink in the day. I love the investigating work
because there's always a reason.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is the Good Foods Podcast and now here's your host.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Shaw Dan.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Barbara, thank you so much for coming to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
What was life like for you growing up? And where
was this?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Life? Growing up? For me was fairly simple. I look
back now and when I talk to other people about
their childs with it, I think I had a bit
of a dream childhood. I was one of five children,
second eldest. Once a year we get we went to
the Sunday school picnic and that was a highlight of
the year. Went to school every day and went and
(01:13):
visited Auntie, Marjorie and Holiday too. It was a simple childhood,
but it was fairly uneventful. And when I speak to
other people, I think an uneventful childhood is a wonderful
child And where was this? This was in a little
town called Ingleburn, which was probably about an hour west
(01:35):
of Sydney, So it was a little country town. But
it today it sort of merged into almost a suburb
of Sydney. You know that the towns have come out
further and further the houses and they're all joined today.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
The sprawl is everywhere. Yeah, what got you interested in
natural healing? Did you have relatives or family members that
were immersed in this life?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No? I didn't, and I need growing up in it.
As a child, I thought everyone ate shots or sausages,
mashed potato and froze and peas every night and had
rose lamb on Sunday. Being a fifth generation Scottish descent,
that's what we ate. And I thought the abby bread
in the whole wide world was white bread. And well,
(02:19):
first of all, I did hairdressing for a few years,
but I got a little bored of that, and then
my mother got very sick. My mother was crippled in
a wheelchair with rheumatoid arth fartis, and my father wanted
me to stay at home and get my two younger
sisters off to school and help with mum. And I
actually quite liked the nursing part. And I also was
(02:41):
doing a psychology course at night, and I thought I
really liked psychology, so I applied to be a psychiatric nurse.
So I where it is a psychiatric nurse for a
few years, and then the psychiatric nurses. There's an element
of those who partake of drugs, which I did partake
on for a while, and I also found there was
(03:04):
an element that are a little bit back to nature hippie,
and I merged a little bit more over to that
side of it, and my partner and I were going
to live in the country and have children and grow marijuana.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
And then my.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
First child got sick. We moved north of Sydney so
it was a little bit more country and after four
courses of anti biotic so over for six weeks, I
was incredibly frustrated. I thought that I don't want this
from my child. And so when my next child got sick,
and by then I was certainly getting into natural birthing.
(03:42):
Wanted to birth naturally, and so when that second child
got sick with an earache, I didn't go to the doctor.
I didn't tell my friends. I went to the old
lady next door. I said, what did you do when
you're when you're a little girl, what did your mother
do when you got an ear ache? She said, Mum
would steam up and hang it on the stove. You know,
(04:02):
that was the beginning. I put the young and on
my son's ear. He slept for two hours, and I
he's forty five now and he's never had a number here.
I was impressed. That really was what. It really ricocheted
me into natural medicine. I thought, wow, So I began
(04:23):
to investigate. And the beauty is, so I've just turned seventy.
I was twenty five, and so there were still old
people around that knew some of the natural remedies, and
I think that's almost non existent today. I'm the grandmother
that begun my journey of looking into natural remedies. I
(04:45):
got a herb book, I asked questions, and I tried
different things on the children. The good thing is they
also I so you won you could say that, and
they're doing it. To their kids. So that's pretty good
signed that we must be on track.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Barbara, what was one of the earliest things that you
learned that totally shifted your view on hell?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, certainly that I in Poultice did a lot. But
something else happened in my life. A year later. I
became friendly with some neighbors, young people my age who
just come out of the hippie movement and became Christians,
and I began to read the Bible. I began to
looking at what they were saying, and they were Seventh
(05:31):
day Adventis. I've never heard of a Seventh day Adventus.
But what I liked about it was that they were vegetarians,
they had a natural bent, and that really was a
turning point for me. I now wanted to know what
does God want? What does God want with our bodies?
Did He make our bodies to get sick and then
(05:53):
have to resort to poisonous strokes or was there something else?
And I certainly that's something else.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
What do you rely on most when people ask you
for advice or direction in their own healing.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
There's a few things I rely on, and one of
the things that I aim to do is to inspire
people to take control of their own health because we
have been really trained from babies to give health over
to DOFTA. Some people are getting frustrated with the medical ways,
(06:27):
so now they hand their health over to naturopath. But
I want to get away from that. I want to
say to people to know everything that you need is
in here, and there is a great lot of heaven
who created us, who can show us what to do.
So Number one, I depend on certainly God for wisdom,
(06:49):
but I also know that God gave me a break.
He gave me hands to investigate from myself. And one
of the earliest verses I used to claim from the
Bible was Psalm thirty two, verse eight, where God says,
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way
that thou shalt go. I'm all guide THEE with mine eye.
I'll love at first. And God has been faithful in
(07:14):
doing that for me, and I say to others, and
he will do it for you, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So as you enter your seventh decade, what still energizes
you about the work that you do.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What still energizes me about the work I do is
getting an email from a lady that says, I'm thirty five.
I found out I had rest cancer year ago. I
saw your lectures. I did it. I've just been classified
as cancer free. That's exciting. Now you know what I
(07:47):
love about that. There's a few things I love. It's
a beautiful illustration that the body we live in that
can heal itself. But I didn't even see this lady.
I didn't even talk to her. I say to people, well,
it's not me. I'm just the messenger. And what I'm
giving you is God's information. And what I'm endeavoring to
(08:09):
you to do is to inspire you to have a
look at your body, have another look at it, trust it,
start to give it the right conditions. And sometimes it'll
say to you, I don't do that again. And sometimes
it'll say to you, I like that, Can you do
that again? So it's listening.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Is there a part of the healing process that interests
you the most?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Probably the path that interests me the most is what
the body can do. And I read a book recently
that really excited me to the point where I had
to put it down or I wouldn't have slept. And
that's a book called Breath by James nest. I love
it when an author quotes maybe five or six other
(08:53):
authors or other scientists. He sort of pulls it all together,
so it's not just one voice, many voices, and as
the proverb says, in the multitude of counsel as that
safety showing just what nose breathing can do for us
compared to mouth breathing just incredible. I still get very
(09:15):
excited about that, and I'm still learning, and I'm sure
I'll be learning till the day I die. And I
also know that when we finally get to heaven and
live forever, we'll still be learning. So I love learning
about the body. I love learning about in more detail,
about the eyes, in more detail, about the nose, in
(09:38):
more detail, about the lung, is the stomach, Because there
are hidden treasures in our body, hidden treasures of self
healing that many of us are unaware of or unaware
of the extent. So it's tapping into that incredible resource
that we each have, which is us Boddy.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
At this point, Barbara, do you wonder what you'd be
doing if you hadn't had that experience with your child
when they weren't responding to traditional medicine protocols?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I do wonder what I'd be doing, and I look
at how gone led in my life. I also think
that what we have to do is stop trusting so much.
And some one hundred and forty six I found a
verse in there only in this last year that was confronting,
And yet I think it's coincident exactly. I think it's
(10:32):
about verse three. It says, put not your trusting princes,
neither in the sulent wrong in whom there is now
and who are the princes? The princes are the authorities
in the field, and we put too much trust in them.
So in that first experience, I trusted the doctor too much.
I trusted him that he kept giving more drugs and
(10:53):
more drugs, and I thought no more. That It doesn't
mean that there are doctors out there who are very
talented in their feel absolutely, but what it basically means
is don't put total trust in them. And then that's
verse three, and in verse five it says, happy is
he that had the God of Jacob has his help,
(11:15):
whose hope is in the Lord. He's God that made
here of a nerdsy and all that therein is that
keeps truth fear. So that's who we are to put
total trust in. And that's what I say to people.
If the doctor says you've got this, you must do this,
say thank you so much for your advice. I'm going
to seriously consider this. Smile sweetly and lee because that's
(11:40):
what we're to do. Where to consider it? Where to
where are the prosian cons? And then that lovely verse
second Peter one, verse seven, where God says, if not
giving it the spread of fear, but of power, love
and a sound mind. What's your sound mind? A sound mind?
Is that something that looks at the prosian cons? So
what are the next things here? What are the positive things?
(12:02):
How is this going to affected me? What are the
shine effects of this? And as I said, you put
a grat potato on a swollen ankle. If it doesn't work,
you've lost nothing. But you take a drug and opposite
didn't work, And now I'm addicted or now I'm coping
with the side.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Of this in your experience. Is there anything that you
know of that we might encounter that natural healing can't
improve or maybe even reverse.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, I'm just at this point, I'm going to put
my hand. It's show you my bandage hand six weeks ago,
I was by the sea with my grandchildren. Then I
stepped on a very slippy rock and my feet went
out from under me and I fell on my wrist
and it was incredibly painful and the shape of my
(12:52):
wrist was scary. I went to hospital. I needed help.
This was beyond me and I thank God for the
painkillers that dulls my arm, and I thank God for
the skill of the orthopedic surgeon that linked his fingers
with mind and it was able to pull my radius,
(13:13):
which was totally out of place in place. I thank
God for that. So I think that there are times
when we need you know, I appreciate the medical and
their skill, but that's really a crisis. And unfortunately, many
people go to the doctor not for a crisis, for
(13:35):
a sal finger that a created potato could help, for
a burden that Alavia could hear, for a soul's throat
that an a lemon and honey drink could help. And
that's where I believe God has called me to do,
because I sat in casualty for six hours in severe pain,
because the whole system was chopped up with people who
(13:58):
had a sore finger, who had a racing heart, whose
blood pressure had gone out, whose child had gastric So
I sat there and thought, if only all of these
people would watch my wrectures, I could have been seen
by the orthopedic surgeon with it an hour.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
In your opinion, for us to regain or improve our health.
What are some must dos? According to Barbara and Eel.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
What are some musters? Now? The reason why I'm seventy
and I'm not retired is because I feel fantastic, except
for I can't quite work. But I thank God every
day that it wasn't my right hand. So one of
the some things that we can do as I went
and got the plaster to sort it off a few
weeks ago because my fingers were going blue. The nurse
(14:46):
that said to me, you could teach most seventy year
olds that come in here a thing or two. And
I know that I could. Now. The reason my body
is working very well at this age is because I
go to bed early, I breathe through my nose, I
drink adequate water, I eat food in its natural state.
(15:09):
I trust God every day with my life. So I
do those basics. And in the little book Ministry of
Healing by Ale and White, she calls these basic laws
the true remedies, and I found that to be true,
and I laugh the way they're all free. Doesn't cost
any money to go in to pit early that it
cost any money that drink more water. Just the simple
(15:31):
things to breathe through my nose. Mouth is for laughing, kissing, singing, eating,
but noises for breathing. And what a difference nose breathing makes,
all those simple little things that I'd have to tell you,
I can't go past those basic laws.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So what is an early bedtime in Barbara's world? And
what was the water again? Or is it a specific
water or well?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I think one of God's perfect numbers is eight. We
should be drinking eight glasses a day over the day,
of course. And the perfect equation in the eights that
God has given us is eight hours to play, eight
hours to work, eight hours to sleep. Beautiful equation. I
(16:18):
always thought seven was God's favorite number, but there's quite
a lot of eights that pop up there, and the
side shows, and doctor Matthew Walker in his book Why
We Sleep, He's done a very good job of coining
it all together. It is the early hours of the
nights that are some of the most powerful. So really
we should be going to bed by nine, no later
(16:40):
than ten, and kicking in those eight hours. My favorites
probably nine to five.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Are there any specific herbs, teas or foods. Are there
any specific herbs, teas or foods that we should take
daily to fortify our body?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Temple Doctor Robert Thompson's book CA Calcium Line. He gives
the figures that you know, fifty years ago there was
more than twice the nutrients in the soil that there
is today. So we really should be eating organics as
much as possible, grow our own as much as possible.
(17:16):
If you live in an apartment, have some pots with
you know, the greens is so important with your past needs.
Corianders basil, I think you call the coriander cilantro. You know,
you can give your body a boost by having these
green herbs in your daily food. There is so much
(17:37):
corruption around, yes, not only the pharmaceutical company, but I
think also the vitamin industry and some pharmaceutical companies. You
know a third of their business is the you know,
they make the drugs here and the vitamins here that
you know, a lot of it is wasted money. I
think if money was spent instead of on the viam
(18:00):
and supplements on the very good quality food. And I
know in America have Trade Joe's, you have sprouts, you
have whole foods, you have access and then you've got
this fantastic bread from simple leads, the grouten free sour
dough that is all over America. So in America you
(18:22):
have access to these things because I do understand, but
there are a lot of people living in the city
that may not have the ability to grow their own.
There may be a place sometimes for supplements. If someone
has high blood pressure that make me seined, it's very
good for relaxing that heart and bringing that pressure down,
along with some herbs. And if someone is stressed down
(18:44):
and they're over working a little, the bee vitamins can
certainly come in bee vitamins, brain vitamins. Personally, I don't
take any supplements, but I do go to great lengths
to eat the best quality food. When I try with
is cane pepper. Cane pepper is almost a little first
game kit in itself. It thins the blood, opens the
(19:07):
capillary walls, it strengthens the arterial walls, and if the
stomach's not very happy. A dose of cane pepper help that.
So if someone's cut their hands, sprinkle a little cane
pepper and that'll seal the bleeding capillaries. So cane pepper
is probably one of my all round favorites.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
With cane pepper and water to drink it, maybe, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I put it on in about a third of a
cup because then it's down and gone quickly. Odd stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I heard you give a lecture on this. What is
the true cause of disease? You got a few hours
there we go.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The true cause of disease really is a body out
of balance. A body out of balance, then the body's
ever trying to get it back into balance. And I
read this book it says new it was third law
of motion. You know, to every action there's an equal
and an opposite reaction. This law never ceases to act
as nature's equalizer, setting in motion compensatory forces to remedy
(20:12):
every imbalance. So dehydration. There's a whole book that shows
how dehydration can cause disease. The books call one of
the body's mentic christ for water. So really the true
cause of disease is basically an imbalance in the body.
You can't blame genes because genetics loads the gum, but
lifestyle calls the trigger. You can't blame the germ because
(20:36):
you know the germs, those little microorganisms, they're the opportunist organisms.
They are only hanging around where there's need for a cleaner.
So for too long people have blamed genes and germs.
But the fact is we can't blame them any longer.
You know, they have a role and they have a purpose.
(20:57):
My father died at fifty one, a cripple in a wheelchair,
be through the toadd Arth writers. So I have strong
inherited genes and I'm way past fifty one. I'm not
a cripple, not and a welchair, not dead. I notice
that the gene theory and the germ theory, it's blaming
something outside of our body. And Antoine Beauchamp six times professor,
(21:19):
who was a contemporary at the time of lou Pastor,
he said something no one liked, and I think that's
why he never became famous. He said, diseases born in
us and of us. Ooh, no, one likes that. Much
easier to blame the germ, blame the gene. No, there's
something It's like if someone has tinure and has a
(21:43):
shower public shower, and then ten people come afterward over
the day and they come into that shower, five people
will get tinier, five people won't. The only people that
actually get the tinire that came from the first shower
was those who have a body where it was already
beginning to manifest itself. So the best way to give
(22:08):
the body the right conditions is to boosting a mute system.
It's an incredible system given us by God to fight
any disease. And with all the strange happenings in the
world in twenty twenty twenty twenty one, there is one
thing that everyone agreed on and that was rare, and
that is we need to boost our immune systems and
(22:30):
unfortunately vaccine law to that, you mentioned water.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Should we only drink water? What about tea? What about coffee?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Unfortunately, tea and coffee are both dehydrators, so I don't
drink either. Sometimes I might have a peppermint tea or
probably my favorite is a ginger tea. But please realize
that we're experiencing thirty five degrees celsius days at the moment,
so the lasting of it like is a hot tea,
(22:57):
But on a cool winter ive a hot can be nice.
And whereas caffeine leeches minerals out that can weaken your bones,
It disrupts the neural transmitters in the bray dandulion, coffee
strengthens the reaper, strengthens the kidneys. People say to me,
diden coffee barber, I said, no, I just watched the
(23:20):
people suffer day one Misty Mountain Health Retreat. Then more
people suffer from caffeine withdrawals than any other withdrawals. Now
that speaks loud and clear to me, and I think
loud and clear to the guests that come.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
If someone comes to you for guidance after learning what
they're dealing with, what are some of the first questions
that you ask.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
One of the first questions I asked is and I
am a private investigator because there's always a reason. Nothing
happens for no reason. Proverb twenty six, verse two says
the curse courseless shall not come. So I always investigate.
And if a person has a sore knee, I say
to them, have you ever had an injury to your knee?
(24:07):
And then I say what sort of work do you do?
Because if they're on their legs all day on cement floors,
especially if they're in stiletto shoes, their knees it can
start compleating. And if they are carrying excess weight, knees
don't like excess weight. So I begin to investigate, and
then I ask how much water they drink in a day,
(24:29):
because the fluid around the knee joints is ninety nine
percent water. So if the person says I drink three
glasses of water a day, do you drink coffee three
glasses of coffee day? I know straight away there's a
big dehydrating component to those sore knees. So I love
the investigative work because there's always a.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Reason you're an hpi 'or a health private investigator. Yeah, Hip,
can you take us on a journey, Barbara? Can you
guide us through our astro intestinal track? Please?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh, it's one of my favorite journeys and such a
misunderstood part of the body. But what is interesting about
the gastriane testinal track is it's a hollow tube, so
anything that goes in there, it's not part of you
or me until it gets out of the tube. And
in two the tissues and God puts some amazing systems
(25:24):
in our gastrane testinal track to protect our blood for
some of the things that may happen in that gastraine
testinal track. Dog's gastrane testinal track is about one yard long.
Ours is ten yards long. And the gastrointestinal track begins
(25:45):
at the mouth. And we have teeth theeds, so we
must chew chew, chew, chew, chew, chew chew very well.
And one of the worst is my husband. He's a
fast man, drives fast, does everything fast, and eats fast.
I'm always touched his arm and just smiling it. He
knows straight awa eyes and he goes, oh, there's a
(26:07):
little slip, so yeah, take time to cheer.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
We come into our stomach and it's the only acid
part of our body, and God designed it to be
that way. Someone says I've got a very acid stomach.
I say, congratulations. You must be digesting your food very
well because it should be acid. And I say, how
do you know it's a well it keeps coming up. Well,
(26:33):
that's the gateway, not the acid. So I like to
use a common sense. You know, it's not really common today.
But when I explain this to people. Proverbs four ten,
verse six is knowledge is easy to him that understands.
That's what I love doing, is giving an understanding of
how this all works. Then you have the knowledge of
(26:54):
how to treat it. And if I book self here
by design, I have a chapter. It's called the stomachs
equick weapon hydrochloric acid. And that's why dogs can eat
rotten food is because they've got ten times a hydrochloric acid.
That we see, hydrochloric acid is anti fundel anti bacteria.
(27:15):
That's our first light of defense. So very important to
have nice strong hydrochloric acid. And then we move down
and the stomach. It takes about three and a half
to for hours to digest a meal, so please leave
it alone. My husband said to me one day, I
had a four hour job to do today, the end
(27:36):
of the day's not done. He kept getting interrupted the phone,
someone comes into his office. Same with the stomach. You
keep interrupting digestion. Some of breakfast can still be in
the stomach at the end of the day. That's a
scary sort in a warm environment where things can start
to ferment. So I say, have your meal, then leave
(27:57):
it alone. Let it do its work, and most people
that get hungry between meals it's because they're thirsty. So
the body often doesn't know the difference between thirst and hunger.
And my son Peter, he came to you one day.
He said, Mom, I'm hungry. And I looked at the
time as eight ten o'clock. He's fifteen. I said, must
(28:17):
be one of the body's many cries for water. Drink
some water. Came to a at one o'clock and he said,
the water's not doing it anymore. I looked at my
clock and said, greatest lunchtime. So this is where you
experiment on yourself. Try it and notice, if you're hungry
at ten o'clock and you have something to eat, what's
(28:38):
the next thing you do, reach for water, or reach
for a tea, or reach for a juice. It's because
you actually weren't hungry. You were thirsty. And stomachs are
breaking down because they're overworked. They need a rest, They
need a lovely rest between meals, and they need a
nice rest when you go to sleep at night. If
you get to eat at night, you should be eating
(29:00):
ideally three hours before you lay down to go to sleep,
because when the body sleeps. The stomach wants to sleep too,
and that's a habit that many ossies have. Miss breakfast,
grab it to quip, lunch, starving by the end of
the day they eat a huge meal and then a
little bit more and then nibble and pit more, and
(29:22):
then you know. Another problem ossies have is in some now.
So that's a contributing factor, and of course a big
one is technology. But giving messages to the brain through
the eyes. Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake. So back
to stomach. So we should be drinking water between meals,
(29:43):
not with meals. Stop half an now before, resume an
hour and a half after the meal. That gives the
stomach a nice time to be able to effectively and
efficiently digest food. Because remember our gastroine test is a
hollow tube, so not digesting the food, it can actually
come in one end and end up out the other end,
(30:06):
and we never were able to access. That's why digestion
is a very important subject. Chew very well there, snape
teeth in the stomach, got a chew in the mouth.
We'll leave a break between males. Drink water between males,
eat most of your food. Breakfast a lunch called intermatent
fasting or the five two diet, and it's now called
(30:29):
time restrict eating that you eat twice in a six
hour period and ideally the last meal ideally four hours
even before you go to sleep. So now we come
out of the stomach and go into the small intestine,
very busy place. This is basically the city. That's the duodenum.
(30:51):
Because from the duodenum you've got wild from the gall
bladder or liver coming in to break down your bats.
We've also got enzymes coming from your pancreas. They all
empty into the juridenum. So the main part of digestion
happens in the durdenum. The only food that's broken down
in the stomach, and that is protein. So the starch
(31:16):
begins in the map put on hold in the stomach,
and then it's revived again from pancreatic enzymes. Saturated fats
they break down in the stomach, but the polyunsaturated fats,
they're broken down by the bile coming out of the
gour bladder, which is a reservoir because it's the litter
that makes the bar. I hope I'm not louising it there.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I am fascinated, keep going.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
It is a fascinating one. And that's what I say
to people. I'm talking about using that. And that's why
if someone has pancreatic cancer, they'll often dive very quickly
from manutrition, because the pancrest finalizes starch digestion, it finalizes
protein digestion, it finalizes its fat digestion, all the pancreas.
(32:05):
Pancreas also release the sodium bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid
because the duodenum is an alkaline environment, and these enzymes
work better in an alkaline environment. What an incredible body,
some one hundred and thirty nine, verse fourteen says, I
will praise you. I'm fearfully, wonderfully mate, marvelous of I works,
(32:27):
and that my soul knoweth right well. And when you
study digestion, you see it. And that's my understanding. Digestion
allows us to work with digestion, not against it. And
so now we come down into what I call the
grand finale of digestion, which is the small intestine. Halfway
(32:50):
down a small intestine, our nutrients are really all absorbed.
So all that's left is the insoluble fiber, which free
and vegetables, whole grains are rich in this insoluble fiber,
and how the nutrients are absorbed. A lining of the
(33:12):
small intestine is bacteria and yeasts. They called our gut flora,
our healthy biome, our friendly or healthy flora microorganisms, and
they are responsible for the final breakdown or release of
(33:34):
the food. They're responsible for the absorption out of the
guard and into the blood, and they'll also protect the
blood against help for pathogens. So you see, the first
line of defense against the blood is the hydropluric acid. Now,
if that's low, because a person's eating all day, drinking
(33:55):
with their meals, eating most of their meal at the
end of the day, stress with meals, all of that
exhaust the hydrochloric acid. God has put another line of defense,
and that is the gut flora. And so if the
gut flora is not working well, I guess it's often
given the term leaky gup, then you've got some harmful
(34:16):
pathoges getting into the blood that should never be there.
And that's when the immune systor rises. And I guess
some people might say, this person's got an inflammation. Do
you know want to say, why? Why't they got inflammation,
and inflammation is just the body's way of dealing with something.
We work to find out what it's dealing with. Anyway,
(34:38):
we move on and we're coming down to the indiosequal valve,
which is a little vowel between the small intestine and
the large intestine, so one way valve because we don't
want anything from the colon and the large intestine go
back into the small And it is also there that
our be twelve is absorbed. Just at the last part
(34:58):
of the small intestine, something else is there and that
is our appendix. Now, God doesn't make mistakes, and he
never certainly did not make a mistake when he gave
us appendix. Appendix have two main roles. One is it's
called the cold's oil can, so it lubricates the contents
(35:18):
as it goes through the large intestine. It's also releases
antibacterial in case what's coming out of the small intestine
is toxic. Why would it be toxic, Ah, Because the
person is eating large amounts of meat, which putrefies compared
to vegetables which for mint and it has no fiber
(35:41):
which slows down its transit time. And maybe they're eating
a lot of sugar, maybe alcohol, which also feeds that
putrification process. And when it comes out of the small intestine,
the pank wrist looks and says, whoa, we're going to
calm this guy down, and it releases a lot of
antibacterial fluid. So basically that's what it's what its role is.
(36:03):
You see dogs get away with it because it's in
and out quick going a mid alawn or a yard
long where the whole ten. So the only way people
can really get away with eating meat is to the
eed a lot of vegetables with it, you know, little
calm that petrification process down and all the fiber moves
it through a lot quicker. So now we come to
(36:26):
the large intestine, and everything that comes out of the
small intestine into the large it's in the liquid form.
And what happens in the large intestine is water is
taken out, so stools are formed and all that lovely
and soluble fiber for moorial fruits and vegetables that stimulates
(36:49):
peristalsis it sweeps the coll and kIPS it moving, so
that's probably the main aim. And then finally it comes
out the other end and transit time ideally should be
sixteen hours, no longer than twenty four hours. But what
we've got today is we've got a lot of people
(37:10):
who are only evacuating maybe two or three times a week,
you know, and that can be the cause of causing problems.
And we have other people on the other end of
the scale with what's called irritable bow Crome's disease colitis,
and they might be evacuating ten times a day. That's
why we need to be our own doctor. Observe how
(37:30):
many times do you go, well, what's normal? Well? Doctor Kellon,
famous doctor from the mid eighteen hundreds who wrote extensively
on health, he said, three intakes of further day should
equal three evacuations a day. That's basically average what it
should be. And it should be not running, and it
(37:51):
should not be rabbit pellettes or cement, and it should
be a nice mid brown color. Part of being our
own doctor, and I believe we all should be a doctor,
is observing the signs. Listening in Exodus, I think it's
Exodus fifteen twenty six, God said, if you will diligently
(38:14):
harken to the voice of the Lord, thy God, and
do that which is right in his sight, we need
to do right by our bodies. But you know what,
we need to listen to the voice of God in
our bodies. So if you've got pain, listen, it has
a purpose. If you're going to the toilet ten times
a day, listen, there's something wrong there, Hey, do something.
(38:37):
It's your body saying, can you hear me? Praise hear me?
And if you don't listen to the first whisp, but
the body start screaming. When it starts screaming, that's when
it starts doing damage. So it's listening.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
What would your advice be for someone who is someone
who needs help with their slip? Whilst you would probably
check the box on just about everybody on the planet.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Yeah, check the boxes. Investigate, private, investigated, because if you
don't find the cause, you'll never have a cure. It's
basic common sense, isn't it. It's like the oils or
the water to stay in the corner of the roof.
We're not going to keep painting over it, are we
We're going to find out why is it there? Because
(39:22):
if you don't, eventually the roof will collapse. So you're right,
I first of all, go to the laws. How much
water are you drinking. You know, sometimes that can be
that simple dehydrate its are you eating frits and vegetables,
Maybe you need a little bit more going through. But
specifically on sleep by do investigate. And one of the
(39:46):
first things I investigate is when did you start having
trouble with sleep? Let's go back, Let's go way back,
because we are what we are today because everything that's
ever happened in our life. And sometimes it's a nurse,
so you've got to train yourself back into sleeping at night. Well,
(40:07):
maybe it's a lady who had many babies and was
woken up and now's in the habit of that, because
we have creaches of habit. But I've got some good news.
I had six babies and I just found if I
slept with my babies, I got more sleep. Now, ladies,
you must make sure husband's happy with that one, because
husband's number one. If he's nice, you might have to
(40:31):
spend half the night with husband and then go into
another bed with baby. So we've got to investigate all
of that, and it brings us to the line really
and the mind is a changeable brain. It's a changeable brain.
So if someone's into the habit of not sleeping, they
can actually bring themselves back. And so some of the
(40:54):
things that help that are conducive to a good night's
sleep is getting all the technology out of your bedroom.
We need a technology free bedroom. No EMFs coming into
interfere with sleep. Make sure your pillow or your bed
head on the other side of the wall there isn't
the measure box can't see that, but that can certainly
(41:16):
interfere with it. Make sure the windows are open so
you get in fresh air. Make sure that you have
your main meal at the earlier part of the day,
that you eat lightly at night. If you eat at nine,
it should be soup, maybe some a salad you know,
and may be smoot in something light. And also make
(41:36):
sure you're well hydrated and have a glass of wood
next to your bed. Have a look outside your bedroom reno.
Make sure it's not all chopped up with deady leaves
or's composedly. You know, your trash cans not outside your
bedroom renda. We need nice fresh out. Also check your bedding.
It should be out of natural fireball. How long since
(41:58):
you changed your pillow. So we need to be breathing
in the purest of air while we're sleeping, and I
always sleep with natural fibright cotton or linen sheets. I
have a feather woolen blanket if it's the winter time.
I don't have any of those at the moment because
we're in summer. So it's just a checklist to tick
(42:20):
the boxes. Now. One of the reasons many people have
trouble is technology. So when I was reading how the
sunlight gives us blue light, which it gets through our eyes,
and technology gives off blue light, but it's a different frequency,
but it's similar enough so that if our eyes are
(42:40):
looking at screens once the sun goes down, the messages
daytime wake up one of the worst things, and usually
the first thing people do if they can't sleep is
looking for fun. The worst thing you can do. You'll
never sleep then. And the pillow is no protection against
the electromagnetic feels the phone, and so the phone should
(43:01):
be out in the hallway. The other thing that can
stop asleep is getting in the chat room. So let
me explain the chat room. I'll explain my chat room.
I wake in the night and immediately my brain starts
planning things. Now I'm going to do this and I'll
go down. I must pack that, and I need to
(43:22):
get that garden weeded, and I'll be leaving soon. And
I need to chat chat chat chat chat. Now, I'm
sure that's not my husband's chat room. My husband's chat
room is has that will be pain Now I need
to fix that leaking tap. Now, I need to work
out who we're going to have for our cook next program.
Chet chat chat chat chat chat chat. And that is
(43:44):
probably one of the biggest things that keep people awake
is the chat room. So I'm going to give you
a few little tips of how to get out of
the chat room, because you've got to get out of
that chat room. So I get out of the chat
room by going through memory versus she probably noticed. I
love memorizing. I love memorizing sayings. I love memorizing pertinent
(44:06):
pieces of information for my lectures. I love memorizing the Bible.
And probably the longest section that I've memorized is James
chapter one, the twenty step verses. So I'll go through
that and in the morning, I think, when did I
get to I think I got to James chapter thirteen
and then I was gone. So that just gets me
(44:28):
out of the chat room. You might not have the
memory that I have were worked on in my brain,
so you might seen a song another way. A lady
told me that she lies there and she missed everything
in her life she's thankful for. I'm so glad I
have feat the work. I'm so glad that I have
(44:49):
a knowledge of comfory creenit and I was able to
convince the nurse to only give me half cass so
I could put comfory policies. Can you see all the things,
all the things she can be thankful for. I'm so
glad I've got eyes that see. I'm so glad that
I'm not in a Siberian work camp with newspaper for
(45:10):
a blanket. There's so many things that we can be
thankful for. And the Bible says in first Thessalonians five
eighteen in everything gives thanks. So this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. So that's basically
God wants us to be thankful. Another lady said to
me she pictures people in her childhood that she just loves.
(45:33):
She loves staying with her great art, who had a
beautiful garden, who made the most beautiful sponge cake. So
can you see that you can spend your time dwelling
on that. That's how you get out of the chat room.
And I recently found another way in James nestbook Breath.
You breathe in for five seconds, three of the noose
(45:57):
holds for three breathe out five second. It through the wars.
You do that ten times. Often you're asleep and you
just your mind is out of the chat room and
counting the breaths. If you're still awake after ten, do
another ten. So these are different ways to train your
(46:19):
brain back or to sleep.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
What do people want to talk about most when they
meet you themselves? I know, but is there a go
to thing that like? They almost always bring.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
Up Well, when they start talking to me, they quickly
realize I haven't been assassinated, and I have had emails
that think I'm dead Because of my husband's title of
my book, The Assassination of Barbara and Neil. I said
to Michael, that's very strong. You're not. It's good. It's
good who gives a message. So people do ask a
(46:52):
little bit about that. People often, if they want to
know a little bit more about me, they say, how
do you get so much knowledge in your brain? And
I say, well, little by little, people say to me,
how did you live in a brain for us with rnccessiny?
How did you raise six children? I say, I just
got them one at a time. That made it a
bit easier. So there are various things that people ask me,
(47:15):
and I find that most people ask me things that
are pertinent to their life. You know, I'm a busy mother,
how did you do it? Or you know, my husband's
not a Christian? And I noticed that, you know your
first husband was not how did you do it? So again,
it's often something that's pertinent also to their life and
(47:35):
asking me how did I do that? And often when
I'm being interviewed, I'm asked, is there any question you
don't want to be asked? There isn't. There isn't because
I think it's very important to be open. And I
don't see any issue that I'm not happy to talk
on because they're all important.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Well, you mentioned the assassination. We're talking about the book,
the assassination of Barbara Neil, and it's very attention getting,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
And did you notice the front cover is bright red?
Speaker 3 (48:08):
Another attention weren't it is bright red? Barbara? It's disturbing,
but I will say great pr campaign, because personally, you
came on my radar, and I'm sure you came on
a lot of people's radar, So thank you for that.
That was great, worked, wonderful, firely Barbara, With everything that
(48:30):
you've been through, would you change anything if you could?
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Looking back now, I wouldn't. I didn't like everything that
I'd gone through. There are some painful parts, but when
I look back now, I see that God had a
plan through that, and even some of the most painful
parts of my experience have been open doors for me
(48:57):
to be able to help others who've been through similar things.
I must say that this six weeks has been a
very long six weeks for me waiting for this hand
to heal. And in two days I get the cast
cut off. But you've probably noticed I haven't got a
cast on because that was quite painful, but I'm keeping
(49:21):
it immobile. I know that that's important for the healing,
and I know that God has a plan. Even though
I may not like what's happening to me, I know
that God has a plan for this, and I know
that God's plans for me is the best. And so
this comes back to trust. It comes back to trusting
(49:44):
him and if I would to say, is there anything
else I would change? You know, God touched me on
my shoulder when I was eighteen, and I almost gave
my life to him at ad I chose an exciting
life of drugs and alcohol that turned out to be
(50:07):
really not exciting at all. And I think I would
have prevented a lot more misery in my life if
I'd responded to his call at the age of eighteen.
So if there would be one regret, that would be
my regret that Father, I didn't listen to you earlier.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
Barbara, thank you so much for coming on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
It's a pleasure because I know that there are many
people who are seek through ignorance and my am even
though my voice has been silenced here in Australia, and
even though I have the threat of jail over me
ten years. Jarlie, if I give any health advice, I
trust I haven't given any in this podcast. I will
(50:50):
not stop because happy is here that hath the God
of Jacob as his help whose hope is in the Lord.
He's God, he is my God. Some people say to me,
have you had death threats? We've heard there's been death threats. Well,
if there have been, my husband has shielded me from me.
But they do not concern me because if God has
(51:12):
a plan for me, no man can take me. If
God has a plan for me to speak for the
next ten years, no man can touch me. But if
God says to me, Barbara, you've got six months, I say,
thank you, Father. I'm billy hum but I will certainly
work hard in that six months. And I know missed
him out in health. The treaty is still running because
(51:34):
we have a great team there, and everyone that works
there is learning. Everyone that watches my information is learning.
I have some daughters whose children are up and growing
that you know that this way does not stop with
me because this is God's back. Thank you so much,
Thank you, thank you for making this available.

Hello. I'm Barbara and Neil lover of the Creative Teacher,
author himself Healed by Design, and this is the Group
of Foods podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All of us are on a journey towards better health
and we're grateful that you've allowed us to join you
on your quest in this episode.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So I always investigate and if the person has sawed me,
I say to them have you ever had an injury
to your neck? And then I say what sort of
work do you do? I ask how much or do
they drink in the day. I love the investigating work
because there's always a reason.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is the Good Foods Podcast and now here's your host.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Shaw Dan.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Barbara, thank you so much for coming to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
What was life like for you growing up? And where
was this?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Life? Growing up? For me was fairly simple. I look
back now and when I talk to other people about
their childs with it, I think I had a bit
of a dream childhood. I was one of five children,
second eldest. Once a year we get we went to
the Sunday school picnic and that was a highlight of
the year. Went to school every day and went and
(01:13):
visited Auntie, Marjorie and Holiday too. It was a simple childhood,
but it was fairly uneventful. And when I speak to
other people, I think an uneventful childhood is a wonderful
child And where was this? This was in a little
town called Ingleburn, which was probably about an hour west
(01:35):
of Sydney, So it was a little country town. But
it today it sort of merged into almost a suburb
of Sydney. You know that the towns have come out
further and further the houses and they're all joined today.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
The sprawl is everywhere. Yeah, what got you interested in
natural healing? Did you have relatives or family members that
were immersed in this life?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No? I didn't, and I need growing up in it.
As a child, I thought everyone ate shots or sausages,
mashed potato and froze and peas every night and had
rose lamb on Sunday. Being a fifth generation Scottish descent,
that's what we ate. And I thought the abby bread
in the whole wide world was white bread. And well,
(02:19):
first of all, I did hairdressing for a few years,
but I got a little bored of that, and then
my mother got very sick. My mother was crippled in
a wheelchair with rheumatoid arth fartis, and my father wanted
me to stay at home and get my two younger
sisters off to school and help with mum. And I
actually quite liked the nursing part. And I also was
(02:41):
doing a psychology course at night, and I thought I
really liked psychology, so I applied to be a psychiatric nurse.
So I where it is a psychiatric nurse for a
few years, and then the psychiatric nurses. There's an element
of those who partake of drugs, which I did partake
on for a while, and I also found there was
(03:04):
an element that are a little bit back to nature hippie,
and I merged a little bit more over to that
side of it, and my partner and I were going
to live in the country and have children and grow marijuana.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
And then my.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
First child got sick. We moved north of Sydney so
it was a little bit more country and after four
courses of anti biotic so over for six weeks, I
was incredibly frustrated. I thought that I don't want this
from my child. And so when my next child got sick,
and by then I was certainly getting into natural birthing.
(03:42):
Wanted to birth naturally, and so when that second child
got sick with an earache, I didn't go to the doctor.
I didn't tell my friends. I went to the old
lady next door. I said, what did you do when
you're when you're a little girl, what did your mother
do when you got an ear ache? She said, Mum
would steam up and hang it on the stove. You know,
(04:02):
that was the beginning. I put the young and on
my son's ear. He slept for two hours, and I
he's forty five now and he's never had a number here.
I was impressed. That really was what. It really ricocheted
me into natural medicine. I thought, wow, So I began
(04:23):
to investigate. And the beauty is, so I've just turned seventy.
I was twenty five, and so there were still old
people around that knew some of the natural remedies, and
I think that's almost non existent today. I'm the grandmother
that begun my journey of looking into natural remedies. I
(04:45):
got a herb book, I asked questions, and I tried
different things on the children. The good thing is they
also I so you won you could say that, and
they're doing it. To their kids. So that's pretty good
signed that we must be on track.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Barbara, what was one of the earliest things that you
learned that totally shifted your view on hell?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, certainly that I in Poultice did a lot. But
something else happened in my life. A year later. I
became friendly with some neighbors, young people my age who
just come out of the hippie movement and became Christians,
and I began to read the Bible. I began to
looking at what they were saying, and they were Seventh
(05:31):
day Adventis. I've never heard of a Seventh day Adventus.
But what I liked about it was that they were vegetarians,
they had a natural bent, and that really was a
turning point for me. I now wanted to know what
does God want? What does God want with our bodies?
Did He make our bodies to get sick and then
(05:53):
have to resort to poisonous strokes or was there something else?
And I certainly that's something else.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
What do you rely on most when people ask you
for advice or direction in their own healing.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
There's a few things I rely on, and one of
the things that I aim to do is to inspire
people to take control of their own health because we
have been really trained from babies to give health over
to DOFTA. Some people are getting frustrated with the medical ways,
(06:27):
so now they hand their health over to naturopath. But
I want to get away from that. I want to
say to people to know everything that you need is
in here, and there is a great lot of heaven
who created us, who can show us what to do.
So Number one, I depend on certainly God for wisdom,
(06:49):
but I also know that God gave me a break.
He gave me hands to investigate from myself. And one
of the earliest verses I used to claim from the
Bible was Psalm thirty two, verse eight, where God says,
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way
that thou shalt go. I'm all guide THEE with mine eye.
I'll love at first. And God has been faithful in
(07:14):
doing that for me, and I say to others, and
he will do it for you, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So as you enter your seventh decade, what still energizes
you about the work that you do.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What still energizes me about the work I do is
getting an email from a lady that says, I'm thirty five.
I found out I had rest cancer year ago. I
saw your lectures. I did it. I've just been classified
as cancer free. That's exciting. Now you know what I
(07:47):
love about that. There's a few things I love. It's
a beautiful illustration that the body we live in that
can heal itself. But I didn't even see this lady.
I didn't even talk to her. I say to people, well,
it's not me. I'm just the messenger. And what I'm
giving you is God's information. And what I'm endeavoring to
(08:09):
you to do is to inspire you to have a
look at your body, have another look at it, trust it,
start to give it the right conditions. And sometimes it'll
say to you, I don't do that again. And sometimes
it'll say to you, I like that, Can you do
that again? So it's listening.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Is there a part of the healing process that interests
you the most?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Probably the path that interests me the most is what
the body can do. And I read a book recently
that really excited me to the point where I had
to put it down or I wouldn't have slept. And
that's a book called Breath by James nest. I love
it when an author quotes maybe five or six other
(08:53):
authors or other scientists. He sort of pulls it all together,
so it's not just one voice, many voices, and as
the proverb says, in the multitude of counsel as that
safety showing just what nose breathing can do for us
compared to mouth breathing just incredible. I still get very
(09:15):
excited about that, and I'm still learning, and I'm sure
I'll be learning till the day I die. And I
also know that when we finally get to heaven and
live forever, we'll still be learning. So I love learning
about the body. I love learning about in more detail,
about the eyes, in more detail, about the nose, in
(09:38):
more detail, about the lung, is the stomach, Because there
are hidden treasures in our body, hidden treasures of self
healing that many of us are unaware of or unaware
of the extent. So it's tapping into that incredible resource
that we each have, which is us Boddy.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
At this point, Barbara, do you wonder what you'd be
doing if you hadn't had that experience with your child
when they weren't responding to traditional medicine protocols?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I do wonder what I'd be doing, and I look
at how gone led in my life. I also think
that what we have to do is stop trusting so much.
And some one hundred and forty six I found a
verse in there only in this last year that was confronting,
And yet I think it's coincident exactly. I think it's
(10:32):
about verse three. It says, put not your trusting princes,
neither in the sulent wrong in whom there is now
and who are the princes? The princes are the authorities
in the field, and we put too much trust in them.
So in that first experience, I trusted the doctor too much.
I trusted him that he kept giving more drugs and
(10:53):
more drugs, and I thought no more. That It doesn't
mean that there are doctors out there who are very
talented in their feel absolutely, but what it basically means
is don't put total trust in them. And then that's
verse three, and in verse five it says, happy is
he that had the God of Jacob has his help,
(11:15):
whose hope is in the Lord. He's God that made
here of a nerdsy and all that therein is that
keeps truth fear. So that's who we are to put
total trust in. And that's what I say to people.
If the doctor says you've got this, you must do this,
say thank you so much for your advice. I'm going
to seriously consider this. Smile sweetly and lee because that's
(11:40):
what we're to do. Where to consider it? Where to
where are the prosian cons? And then that lovely verse
second Peter one, verse seven, where God says, if not
giving it the spread of fear, but of power, love
and a sound mind. What's your sound mind? A sound mind?
Is that something that looks at the prosian cons? So
what are the next things here? What are the positive things?
(12:02):
How is this going to affected me? What are the
shine effects of this? And as I said, you put
a grat potato on a swollen ankle. If it doesn't work,
you've lost nothing. But you take a drug and opposite
didn't work, And now I'm addicted or now I'm coping
with the side.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Of this in your experience. Is there anything that you
know of that we might encounter that natural healing can't
improve or maybe even reverse.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, I'm just at this point, I'm going to put
my hand. It's show you my bandage hand six weeks ago,
I was by the sea with my grandchildren. Then I
stepped on a very slippy rock and my feet went
out from under me and I fell on my wrist
and it was incredibly painful and the shape of my
(12:52):
wrist was scary. I went to hospital. I needed help.
This was beyond me and I thank God for the
painkillers that dulls my arm, and I thank God for
the skill of the orthopedic surgeon that linked his fingers
with mind and it was able to pull my radius,
(13:13):
which was totally out of place in place. I thank
God for that. So I think that there are times
when we need you know, I appreciate the medical and
their skill, but that's really a crisis. And unfortunately, many
people go to the doctor not for a crisis, for
(13:35):
a sal finger that a created potato could help, for
a burden that Alavia could hear, for a soul's throat
that an a lemon and honey drink could help. And
that's where I believe God has called me to do,
because I sat in casualty for six hours in severe pain,
because the whole system was chopped up with people who
(13:58):
had a sore finger, who had a racing heart, whose
blood pressure had gone out, whose child had gastric So
I sat there and thought, if only all of these
people would watch my wrectures, I could have been seen
by the orthopedic surgeon with it an hour.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
In your opinion, for us to regain or improve our health.
What are some must dos? According to Barbara and Eel.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
What are some musters? Now? The reason why I'm seventy
and I'm not retired is because I feel fantastic, except
for I can't quite work. But I thank God every
day that it wasn't my right hand. So one of
the some things that we can do as I went
and got the plaster to sort it off a few
weeks ago because my fingers were going blue. The nurse
(14:46):
that said to me, you could teach most seventy year
olds that come in here a thing or two. And
I know that I could. Now. The reason my body
is working very well at this age is because I
go to bed early, I breathe through my nose, I
drink adequate water, I eat food in its natural state.
(15:09):
I trust God every day with my life. So I
do those basics. And in the little book Ministry of
Healing by Ale and White, she calls these basic laws
the true remedies, and I found that to be true,
and I laugh the way they're all free. Doesn't cost
any money to go in to pit early that it
cost any money that drink more water. Just the simple
(15:31):
things to breathe through my nose. Mouth is for laughing, kissing, singing, eating,
but noises for breathing. And what a difference nose breathing makes,
all those simple little things that I'd have to tell you,
I can't go past those basic laws.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So what is an early bedtime in Barbara's world? And
what was the water again? Or is it a specific
water or well?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I think one of God's perfect numbers is eight. We
should be drinking eight glasses a day over the day,
of course. And the perfect equation in the eights that
God has given us is eight hours to play, eight
hours to work, eight hours to sleep. Beautiful equation. I
(16:18):
always thought seven was God's favorite number, but there's quite
a lot of eights that pop up there, and the
side shows, and doctor Matthew Walker in his book Why
We Sleep, He's done a very good job of coining
it all together. It is the early hours of the
nights that are some of the most powerful. So really
we should be going to bed by nine, no later
(16:40):
than ten, and kicking in those eight hours. My favorites
probably nine to five.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Are there any specific herbs, teas or foods. Are there
any specific herbs, teas or foods that we should take
daily to fortify our body?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Temple Doctor Robert Thompson's book CA Calcium Line. He gives
the figures that you know, fifty years ago there was
more than twice the nutrients in the soil that there
is today. So we really should be eating organics as
much as possible, grow our own as much as possible.
(17:16):
If you live in an apartment, have some pots with
you know, the greens is so important with your past needs.
Corianders basil, I think you call the coriander cilantro. You know,
you can give your body a boost by having these
green herbs in your daily food. There is so much
(17:37):
corruption around, yes, not only the pharmaceutical company, but I
think also the vitamin industry and some pharmaceutical companies. You
know a third of their business is the you know,
they make the drugs here and the vitamins here that
you know, a lot of it is wasted money. I
think if money was spent instead of on the viam
(18:00):
and supplements on the very good quality food. And I
know in America have Trade Joe's, you have sprouts, you
have whole foods, you have access and then you've got
this fantastic bread from simple leads, the grouten free sour
dough that is all over America. So in America you
(18:22):
have access to these things because I do understand, but
there are a lot of people living in the city
that may not have the ability to grow their own.
There may be a place sometimes for supplements. If someone
has high blood pressure that make me seined, it's very
good for relaxing that heart and bringing that pressure down,
along with some herbs. And if someone is stressed down
(18:44):
and they're over working a little, the bee vitamins can
certainly come in bee vitamins, brain vitamins. Personally, I don't
take any supplements, but I do go to great lengths
to eat the best quality food. When I try with
is cane pepper. Cane pepper is almost a little first
game kit in itself. It thins the blood, opens the
(19:07):
capillary walls, it strengthens the arterial walls, and if the
stomach's not very happy. A dose of cane pepper help that.
So if someone's cut their hands, sprinkle a little cane
pepper and that'll seal the bleeding capillaries. So cane pepper
is probably one of my all round favorites.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
With cane pepper and water to drink it, maybe, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I put it on in about a third of a
cup because then it's down and gone quickly. Odd stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I heard you give a lecture on this. What is
the true cause of disease? You got a few hours
there we go.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The true cause of disease really is a body out
of balance. A body out of balance, then the body's
ever trying to get it back into balance. And I
read this book it says new it was third law
of motion. You know, to every action there's an equal
and an opposite reaction. This law never ceases to act
as nature's equalizer, setting in motion compensatory forces to remedy
(20:12):
every imbalance. So dehydration. There's a whole book that shows
how dehydration can cause disease. The books call one of
the body's mentic christ for water. So really the true
cause of disease is basically an imbalance in the body.
You can't blame genes because genetics loads the gum, but
lifestyle calls the trigger. You can't blame the germ because
(20:36):
you know the germs, those little microorganisms, they're the opportunist organisms.
They are only hanging around where there's need for a cleaner.
So for too long people have blamed genes and germs.
But the fact is we can't blame them any longer.
You know, they have a role and they have a purpose.
(20:57):
My father died at fifty one, a cripple in a wheelchair,
be through the toadd Arth writers. So I have strong
inherited genes and I'm way past fifty one. I'm not
a cripple, not and a welchair, not dead. I notice
that the gene theory and the germ theory, it's blaming
something outside of our body. And Antoine Beauchamp six times professor,
(21:19):
who was a contemporary at the time of lou Pastor,
he said something no one liked, and I think that's
why he never became famous. He said, diseases born in
us and of us. Ooh, no, one likes that. Much
easier to blame the germ, blame the gene. No, there's
something It's like if someone has tinure and has a
(21:43):
shower public shower, and then ten people come afterward over
the day and they come into that shower, five people
will get tinier, five people won't. The only people that
actually get the tinire that came from the first shower
was those who have a body where it was already
beginning to manifest itself. So the best way to give
(22:08):
the body the right conditions is to boosting a mute system.
It's an incredible system given us by God to fight
any disease. And with all the strange happenings in the
world in twenty twenty twenty twenty one, there is one
thing that everyone agreed on and that was rare, and
that is we need to boost our immune systems and
(22:30):
unfortunately vaccine law to that, you mentioned water.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Should we only drink water? What about tea? What about coffee?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Unfortunately, tea and coffee are both dehydrators, so I don't
drink either. Sometimes I might have a peppermint tea or
probably my favorite is a ginger tea. But please realize
that we're experiencing thirty five degrees celsius days at the moment,
so the lasting of it like is a hot tea,
(22:57):
But on a cool winter ive a hot can be nice.
And whereas caffeine leeches minerals out that can weaken your bones,
It disrupts the neural transmitters in the bray dandulion, coffee
strengthens the reaper, strengthens the kidneys. People say to me,
diden coffee barber, I said, no, I just watched the
(23:20):
people suffer day one Misty Mountain Health Retreat. Then more
people suffer from caffeine withdrawals than any other withdrawals. Now
that speaks loud and clear to me, and I think
loud and clear to the guests that come.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
If someone comes to you for guidance after learning what
they're dealing with, what are some of the first questions
that you ask.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
One of the first questions I asked is and I
am a private investigator because there's always a reason. Nothing
happens for no reason. Proverb twenty six, verse two says
the curse courseless shall not come. So I always investigate.
And if a person has a sore knee, I say
to them, have you ever had an injury to your knee?
(24:07):
And then I say what sort of work do you do?
Because if they're on their legs all day on cement floors,
especially if they're in stiletto shoes, their knees it can
start compleating. And if they are carrying excess weight, knees
don't like excess weight. So I begin to investigate, and
then I ask how much water they drink in a day,
(24:29):
because the fluid around the knee joints is ninety nine
percent water. So if the person says I drink three
glasses of water a day, do you drink coffee three
glasses of coffee day? I know straight away there's a
big dehydrating component to those sore knees. So I love
the investigative work because there's always a.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Reason you're an hpi 'or a health private investigator. Yeah, Hip,
can you take us on a journey, Barbara? Can you
guide us through our astro intestinal track? Please?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh, it's one of my favorite journeys and such a
misunderstood part of the body. But what is interesting about
the gastriane testinal track is it's a hollow tube, so
anything that goes in there, it's not part of you
or me until it gets out of the tube. And
in two the tissues and God puts some amazing systems
(25:24):
in our gastrane testinal track to protect our blood for
some of the things that may happen in that gastraine
testinal track. Dog's gastrane testinal track is about one yard long.
Ours is ten yards long. And the gastrointestinal track begins
(25:45):
at the mouth. And we have teeth theeds, so we
must chew chew, chew, chew, chew, chew chew very well.
And one of the worst is my husband. He's a
fast man, drives fast, does everything fast, and eats fast.
I'm always touched his arm and just smiling it. He
knows straight awa eyes and he goes, oh, there's a
(26:07):
little slip, so yeah, take time to cheer.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
We come into our stomach and it's the only acid
part of our body, and God designed it to be
that way. Someone says I've got a very acid stomach.
I say, congratulations. You must be digesting your food very
well because it should be acid. And I say, how
do you know it's a well it keeps coming up. Well,
(26:33):
that's the gateway, not the acid. So I like to
use a common sense. You know, it's not really common today.
But when I explain this to people. Proverbs four ten,
verse six is knowledge is easy to him that understands.
That's what I love doing, is giving an understanding of
how this all works. Then you have the knowledge of
(26:54):
how to treat it. And if I book self here
by design, I have a chapter. It's called the stomachs
equick weapon hydrochloric acid. And that's why dogs can eat
rotten food is because they've got ten times a hydrochloric acid.
That we see, hydrochloric acid is anti fundel anti bacteria.
(27:15):
That's our first light of defense. So very important to
have nice strong hydrochloric acid. And then we move down
and the stomach. It takes about three and a half
to for hours to digest a meal, so please leave
it alone. My husband said to me one day, I
had a four hour job to do today, the end
(27:36):
of the day's not done. He kept getting interrupted the phone,
someone comes into his office. Same with the stomach. You
keep interrupting digestion. Some of breakfast can still be in
the stomach at the end of the day. That's a
scary sort in a warm environment where things can start
to ferment. So I say, have your meal, then leave
(27:57):
it alone. Let it do its work, and most people
that get hungry between meals it's because they're thirsty. So
the body often doesn't know the difference between thirst and hunger.
And my son Peter, he came to you one day.
He said, Mom, I'm hungry. And I looked at the
time as eight ten o'clock. He's fifteen. I said, must
(28:17):
be one of the body's many cries for water. Drink
some water. Came to a at one o'clock and he said,
the water's not doing it anymore. I looked at my
clock and said, greatest lunchtime. So this is where you
experiment on yourself. Try it and notice, if you're hungry
at ten o'clock and you have something to eat, what's
(28:38):
the next thing you do, reach for water, or reach
for a tea, or reach for a juice. It's because
you actually weren't hungry. You were thirsty. And stomachs are
breaking down because they're overworked. They need a rest, They
need a lovely rest between meals, and they need a
nice rest when you go to sleep at night. If
you get to eat at night, you should be eating
(29:00):
ideally three hours before you lay down to go to sleep,
because when the body sleeps. The stomach wants to sleep too,
and that's a habit that many ossies have. Miss breakfast,
grab it to quip, lunch, starving by the end of
the day they eat a huge meal and then a
little bit more and then nibble and pit more, and
(29:22):
then you know. Another problem ossies have is in some now.
So that's a contributing factor, and of course a big
one is technology. But giving messages to the brain through
the eyes. Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake. So back
to stomach. So we should be drinking water between meals,
(29:43):
not with meals. Stop half an now before, resume an
hour and a half after the meal. That gives the
stomach a nice time to be able to effectively and
efficiently digest food. Because remember our gastroine test is a
hollow tube, so not digesting the food, it can actually
come in one end and end up out the other end,
(30:06):
and we never were able to access. That's why digestion
is a very important subject. Chew very well there, snape
teeth in the stomach, got a chew in the mouth.
We'll leave a break between males. Drink water between males,
eat most of your food. Breakfast a lunch called intermatent
fasting or the five two diet, and it's now called
(30:29):
time restrict eating that you eat twice in a six
hour period and ideally the last meal ideally four hours
even before you go to sleep. So now we come
out of the stomach and go into the small intestine,
very busy place. This is basically the city. That's the duodenum.
(30:51):
Because from the duodenum you've got wild from the gall
bladder or liver coming in to break down your bats.
We've also got enzymes coming from your pancreas. They all
empty into the juridenum. So the main part of digestion
happens in the durdenum. The only food that's broken down
in the stomach, and that is protein. So the starch
(31:16):
begins in the map put on hold in the stomach,
and then it's revived again from pancreatic enzymes. Saturated fats
they break down in the stomach, but the polyunsaturated fats,
they're broken down by the bile coming out of the
gour bladder, which is a reservoir because it's the litter
that makes the bar. I hope I'm not louising it there.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I am fascinated, keep going.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
It is a fascinating one. And that's what I say
to people. I'm talking about using that. And that's why
if someone has pancreatic cancer, they'll often dive very quickly
from manutrition, because the pancrest finalizes starch digestion, it finalizes
protein digestion, it finalizes its fat digestion, all the pancreas.
(32:05):
Pancreas also release the sodium bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid
because the duodenum is an alkaline environment, and these enzymes
work better in an alkaline environment. What an incredible body,
some one hundred and thirty nine, verse fourteen says, I
will praise you. I'm fearfully, wonderfully mate, marvelous of I works,
(32:27):
and that my soul knoweth right well. And when you
study digestion, you see it. And that's my understanding. Digestion
allows us to work with digestion, not against it. And
so now we come down into what I call the
grand finale of digestion, which is the small intestine. Halfway
(32:50):
down a small intestine, our nutrients are really all absorbed.
So all that's left is the insoluble fiber, which free
and vegetables, whole grains are rich in this insoluble fiber,
and how the nutrients are absorbed. A lining of the
(33:12):
small intestine is bacteria and yeasts. They called our gut flora,
our healthy biome, our friendly or healthy flora microorganisms, and
they are responsible for the final breakdown or release of
(33:34):
the food. They're responsible for the absorption out of the
guard and into the blood, and they'll also protect the
blood against help for pathogens. So you see, the first
line of defense against the blood is the hydropluric acid. Now,
if that's low, because a person's eating all day, drinking
(33:55):
with their meals, eating most of their meal at the
end of the day, stress with meals, all of that
exhaust the hydrochloric acid. God has put another line of defense,
and that is the gut flora. And so if the
gut flora is not working well, I guess it's often
given the term leaky gup, then you've got some harmful
(34:16):
pathoges getting into the blood that should never be there.
And that's when the immune systor rises. And I guess
some people might say, this person's got an inflammation. Do
you know want to say, why? Why't they got inflammation,
and inflammation is just the body's way of dealing with something.
We work to find out what it's dealing with. Anyway,
(34:38):
we move on and we're coming down to the indiosequal valve,
which is a little vowel between the small intestine and
the large intestine, so one way valve because we don't
want anything from the colon and the large intestine go
back into the small And it is also there that
our be twelve is absorbed. Just at the last part
(34:58):
of the small intestine, something else is there and that
is our appendix. Now, God doesn't make mistakes, and he
never certainly did not make a mistake when he gave
us appendix. Appendix have two main roles. One is it's
called the cold's oil can, so it lubricates the contents
(35:18):
as it goes through the large intestine. It's also releases
antibacterial in case what's coming out of the small intestine
is toxic. Why would it be toxic, Ah, Because the
person is eating large amounts of meat, which putrefies compared
to vegetables which for mint and it has no fiber
(35:41):
which slows down its transit time. And maybe they're eating
a lot of sugar, maybe alcohol, which also feeds that
putrification process. And when it comes out of the small intestine,
the pank wrist looks and says, whoa, we're going to
calm this guy down, and it releases a lot of
antibacterial fluid. So basically that's what it's what its role is.
(36:03):
You see dogs get away with it because it's in
and out quick going a mid alawn or a yard
long where the whole ten. So the only way people
can really get away with eating meat is to the
eed a lot of vegetables with it, you know, little
calm that petrification process down and all the fiber moves
it through a lot quicker. So now we come to
(36:26):
the large intestine, and everything that comes out of the
small intestine into the large it's in the liquid form.
And what happens in the large intestine is water is
taken out, so stools are formed and all that lovely
and soluble fiber for moorial fruits and vegetables that stimulates
(36:49):
peristalsis it sweeps the coll and kIPS it moving, so
that's probably the main aim. And then finally it comes
out the other end and transit time ideally should be
sixteen hours, no longer than twenty four hours. But what
we've got today is we've got a lot of people
(37:10):
who are only evacuating maybe two or three times a week,
you know, and that can be the cause of causing problems.
And we have other people on the other end of
the scale with what's called irritable bow Crome's disease colitis,
and they might be evacuating ten times a day. That's
why we need to be our own doctor. Observe how
(37:30):
many times do you go, well, what's normal? Well? Doctor Kellon,
famous doctor from the mid eighteen hundreds who wrote extensively
on health, he said, three intakes of further day should
equal three evacuations a day. That's basically average what it
should be. And it should be not running, and it
(37:51):
should not be rabbit pellettes or cement, and it should
be a nice mid brown color. Part of being our
own doctor, and I believe we all should be a doctor,
is observing the signs. Listening in Exodus, I think it's
Exodus fifteen twenty six, God said, if you will diligently
(38:14):
harken to the voice of the Lord, thy God, and
do that which is right in his sight, we need
to do right by our bodies. But you know what,
we need to listen to the voice of God in
our bodies. So if you've got pain, listen, it has
a purpose. If you're going to the toilet ten times
a day, listen, there's something wrong there, Hey, do something.
(38:37):
It's your body saying, can you hear me? Praise hear me?
And if you don't listen to the first whisp, but
the body start screaming. When it starts screaming, that's when
it starts doing damage. So it's listening.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
What would your advice be for someone who is someone
who needs help with their slip? Whilst you would probably
check the box on just about everybody on the planet.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Yeah, check the boxes. Investigate, private, investigated, because if you
don't find the cause, you'll never have a cure. It's
basic common sense, isn't it. It's like the oils or
the water to stay in the corner of the roof.
We're not going to keep painting over it, are we
We're going to find out why is it there? Because
(39:22):
if you don't, eventually the roof will collapse. So you're right,
I first of all, go to the laws. How much
water are you drinking. You know, sometimes that can be
that simple dehydrate its are you eating frits and vegetables,
Maybe you need a little bit more going through. But
specifically on sleep by do investigate. And one of the
(39:46):
first things I investigate is when did you start having
trouble with sleep? Let's go back, Let's go way back,
because we are what we are today because everything that's
ever happened in our life. And sometimes it's a nurse,
so you've got to train yourself back into sleeping at night. Well,
(40:07):
maybe it's a lady who had many babies and was
woken up and now's in the habit of that, because
we have creaches of habit. But I've got some good news.
I had six babies and I just found if I
slept with my babies, I got more sleep. Now, ladies,
you must make sure husband's happy with that one, because
husband's number one. If he's nice, you might have to
(40:31):
spend half the night with husband and then go into
another bed with baby. So we've got to investigate all
of that, and it brings us to the line really
and the mind is a changeable brain. It's a changeable brain.
So if someone's into the habit of not sleeping, they
can actually bring themselves back. And so some of the
(40:54):
things that help that are conducive to a good night's
sleep is getting all the technology out of your bedroom.
We need a technology free bedroom. No EMFs coming into
interfere with sleep. Make sure your pillow or your bed
head on the other side of the wall there isn't
the measure box can't see that, but that can certainly
(41:16):
interfere with it. Make sure the windows are open so
you get in fresh air. Make sure that you have
your main meal at the earlier part of the day,
that you eat lightly at night. If you eat at nine,
it should be soup, maybe some a salad you know,
and may be smoot in something light. And also make
(41:36):
sure you're well hydrated and have a glass of wood
next to your bed. Have a look outside your bedroom reno.
Make sure it's not all chopped up with deady leaves
or's composedly. You know, your trash cans not outside your
bedroom renda. We need nice fresh out. Also check your bedding.
It should be out of natural fireball. How long since
(41:58):
you changed your pillow. So we need to be breathing
in the purest of air while we're sleeping, and I
always sleep with natural fibright cotton or linen sheets. I
have a feather woolen blanket if it's the winter time.
I don't have any of those at the moment because
we're in summer. So it's just a checklist to tick
(42:20):
the boxes. Now. One of the reasons many people have
trouble is technology. So when I was reading how the
sunlight gives us blue light, which it gets through our eyes,
and technology gives off blue light, but it's a different frequency,
but it's similar enough so that if our eyes are
(42:40):
looking at screens once the sun goes down, the messages
daytime wake up one of the worst things, and usually
the first thing people do if they can't sleep is
looking for fun. The worst thing you can do. You'll
never sleep then. And the pillow is no protection against
the electromagnetic feels the phone, and so the phone should
(43:01):
be out in the hallway. The other thing that can
stop asleep is getting in the chat room. So let
me explain the chat room. I'll explain my chat room.
I wake in the night and immediately my brain starts
planning things. Now I'm going to do this and I'll
go down. I must pack that, and I need to
(43:22):
get that garden weeded, and I'll be leaving soon. And
I need to chat chat chat chat chat. Now, I'm
sure that's not my husband's chat room. My husband's chat
room is has that will be pain Now I need
to fix that leaking tap. Now, I need to work
out who we're going to have for our cook next program.
Chet chat chat chat chat chat chat. And that is
(43:44):
probably one of the biggest things that keep people awake
is the chat room. So I'm going to give you
a few little tips of how to get out of
the chat room, because you've got to get out of
that chat room. So I get out of the chat
room by going through memory versus she probably noticed. I
love memorizing. I love memorizing sayings. I love memorizing pertinent
(44:06):
pieces of information for my lectures. I love memorizing the Bible.
And probably the longest section that I've memorized is James
chapter one, the twenty step verses. So I'll go through
that and in the morning, I think, when did I
get to I think I got to James chapter thirteen
and then I was gone. So that just gets me
(44:28):
out of the chat room. You might not have the
memory that I have were worked on in my brain,
so you might seen a song another way. A lady
told me that she lies there and she missed everything
in her life she's thankful for. I'm so glad I
have feat the work. I'm so glad that I have
(44:49):
a knowledge of comfory creenit and I was able to
convince the nurse to only give me half cass so
I could put comfory policies. Can you see all the things,
all the things she can be thankful for. I'm so
glad I've got eyes that see. I'm so glad that
I'm not in a Siberian work camp with newspaper for
(45:10):
a blanket. There's so many things that we can be
thankful for. And the Bible says in first Thessalonians five
eighteen in everything gives thanks. So this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. So that's basically
God wants us to be thankful. Another lady said to
me she pictures people in her childhood that she just loves.
(45:33):
She loves staying with her great art, who had a
beautiful garden, who made the most beautiful sponge cake. So
can you see that you can spend your time dwelling
on that. That's how you get out of the chat room.
And I recently found another way in James nestbook Breath.
You breathe in for five seconds, three of the noose
(45:57):
holds for three breathe out five second. It through the wars.
You do that ten times. Often you're asleep and you
just your mind is out of the chat room and
counting the breaths. If you're still awake after ten, do
another ten. So these are different ways to train your
(46:19):
brain back or to sleep.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
What do people want to talk about most when they
meet you themselves? I know, but is there a go
to thing that like? They almost always bring.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
Up Well, when they start talking to me, they quickly
realize I haven't been assassinated, and I have had emails
that think I'm dead Because of my husband's title of
my book, The Assassination of Barbara and Neil. I said
to Michael, that's very strong. You're not. It's good. It's
good who gives a message. So people do ask a
(46:52):
little bit about that. People often, if they want to
know a little bit more about me, they say, how
do you get so much knowledge in your brain? And
I say, well, little by little, people say to me,
how did you live in a brain for us with rnccessiny?
How did you raise six children? I say, I just
got them one at a time. That made it a
bit easier. So there are various things that people ask me,
(47:15):
and I find that most people ask me things that
are pertinent to their life. You know, I'm a busy mother,
how did you do it? Or you know, my husband's
not a Christian? And I noticed that, you know your
first husband was not how did you do it? So again,
it's often something that's pertinent also to their life and
(47:35):
asking me how did I do that? And often when
I'm being interviewed, I'm asked, is there any question you
don't want to be asked? There isn't. There isn't because
I think it's very important to be open. And I
don't see any issue that I'm not happy to talk
on because they're all important.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Well, you mentioned the assassination. We're talking about the book,
the assassination of Barbara Neil, and it's very attention getting,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
And did you notice the front cover is bright red?
Speaker 3 (48:08):
Another attention weren't it is bright red? Barbara? It's disturbing,
but I will say great pr campaign, because personally, you
came on my radar, and I'm sure you came on
a lot of people's radar, So thank you for that.
That was great, worked, wonderful, firely Barbara, With everything that
(48:30):
you've been through, would you change anything if you could?
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Looking back now, I wouldn't. I didn't like everything that
I'd gone through. There are some painful parts, but when
I look back now, I see that God had a
plan through that, and even some of the most painful
parts of my experience have been open doors for me
(48:57):
to be able to help others who've been through similar things.
I must say that this six weeks has been a
very long six weeks for me waiting for this hand
to heal. And in two days I get the cast
cut off. But you've probably noticed I haven't got a
cast on because that was quite painful, but I'm keeping
(49:21):
it immobile. I know that that's important for the healing,
and I know that God has a plan. Even though
I may not like what's happening to me, I know
that God has a plan for this, and I know
that God's plans for me is the best. And so
this comes back to trust. It comes back to trusting
(49:44):
him and if I would to say, is there anything
else I would change? You know, God touched me on
my shoulder when I was eighteen, and I almost gave
my life to him at ad I chose an exciting
life of drugs and alcohol that turned out to be
(50:07):
really not exciting at all. And I think I would
have prevented a lot more misery in my life if
I'd responded to his call at the age of eighteen.
So if there would be one regret, that would be
my regret that Father, I didn't listen to you earlier.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
Barbara, thank you so much for coming on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
It's a pleasure because I know that there are many
people who are seek through ignorance and my am even
though my voice has been silenced here in Australia, and
even though I have the threat of jail over me
ten years. Jarlie, if I give any health advice, I
trust I haven't given any in this podcast. I will
(50:50):
not stop because happy is here that hath the God
of Jacob as his help whose hope is in the Lord.
He's God, he is my God. Some people say to me,
have you had death threats? We've heard there's been death threats. Well,
if there have been, my husband has shielded me from me.
But they do not concern me because if God has
(51:12):
a plan for me, no man can take me. If
God has a plan for me to speak for the
next ten years, no man can touch me. But if
God says to me, Barbara, you've got six months, I say,
thank you, Father. I'm billy hum but I will certainly
work hard in that six months. And I know missed
him out in health. The treaty is still running because
(51:34):
we have a great team there, and everyone that works
there is learning. Everyone that watches my information is learning.
I have some daughters whose children are up and growing
that you know that this way does not stop with
me because this is God's back. Thank you so much,
Thank you, thank you for making this available.
