164. Healing Chronic Illness: God’s Design & Natural Medicine

Send us a text

What if the path to real healing starts with awe—at how you were designed—and the courage to ask why your body is speaking up? We sit down with Dr. Vaughn Lawrence, a traditional naturopath and iridologist, for a candid, faith-forward journey from corporate success and spiritual emptiness to founding Spirit of Health, a clinic built on education, empowerment, and the conviction that God still heals.

Vaughn opens up about his redemption story, then moves straight into the heart of root-cause care. Instead of chasing labels, he looks for the terrain: parasites, mold toxicity, Lyme and co-infections, heavy metals, and chemicals that suppress immunity and inflame tissues. You’ll hear a striking case of a young mother whose “mystery illness” turned out to be extreme mold exposure—and how targeted cleansing, diet strategy, and persistence rebuilt her life. For parents navigating eczema, brain fog, or stubborn gut issues, Vaughn explains why gentle parasite cleanses can transform kids’ skin and sleep when standard approaches stall.

We also cover iridology—how the iris can reflect constitutional patterns, congestion, and even generational tendencies. It’s not mysticism; it’s a non-invasive tool that complements smart testing and a biblical view of the body. Vaughn shares his clinic’s vision and creed: Jesus as the source of life and healing, the body’s God-given capacity to repair, and the role of herbs and natural therapies aligned with creation’s design. Pain becomes an indicator rather than a target to silence. The home becomes the first clinic, where families learn to steward their health with wisdom, resilience, and hope.

If you’re ready to move beyond symptom management into purposeful, faith-led medicine—with practical steps for detox, testing, and rebuilding—this conversation will give you clarity and courage. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs fresh hope, and leave a review to help more people discover root-cause healing grounded in truth.

story, and what you do is yourfocus on helping women.
So that's just something Iwanted to throw out there.
So let's start.
Can you share your backgroundwith us?
How did you get to where youare today with help?

Dr. Vaughn (03:47):
Yes, I would love to.
And I I love to share my storybecause I love God stories, and
so I have my own God story, andso I'd love to share that.
Uh, I'll I'll give you theshortened version.
And I have shared this onYouTube publicly.
I've shared my testimony acouple of different times.
Uh, but I'm originally from theMidwest, uh, born in Iowa, but

(04:11):
grew up in I'll just say KansasCity area, pretty much my whole
life.
Um, I, you know, had pretty, Ihad good parents, uh, loved me
well.
Uh, my parents are stillmarried.
They just celebrated their 50thwedding anniversary, which is
congratulations to that one.
Yes.
Uh, so yeah, just um, yeah,great, great childhood.

(04:34):
Um, not not a lot of God in mychildhood.
Um, so I definitely rebelled inmy teen years and college years
and did a lot of uh crazythings.
At 26 years old, I was actuallymarried and moved to Las Vegas,
Nevada.

Rebecca Twomey (04:55):
Okay.

Dr. Vaughn (04:56):
Business I was working for at the time, the
corporate business I was workingfor offered me five different
cities to move to.
I was very successful in thejob I was doing.
And they offered me fivedifferent cities.
I chose Las Vegas, which says alot about where I was in life
at that time.

Rebecca Twomey (05:14):
Sure.

Dr. Vaughn (05:15):
And uh yeah, I went to Vegas and um on the outside,
everything seemed okay.
On the inside, I was miserable.
Um, I had a good job.
Um, I played semi-pro tennis.
I traveled all over the placeplaying tennis.
I was just miserable inside.
I didn't really know why.
Um, I chose to get a divorce.

(05:37):
Completely me, completelyselfish, completely
self-focused.
You know, definitely one of thethings like I don't want to
have regrets, but definitelysomething that was just really
hard that later in life, youknow, I repenting for.
Um and uh so I I'm uh I'mliving with another girl uh that

(05:58):
was my tennis partner in inVegas, and and I'm sharing all
this because this is what led toSpirit of Health.
So uh in Las Vegas, um again,on the outside, everything
looking good as far as how mylife is going, and the inside

(06:18):
just so unsettled.
I go to Kansas City to go homefor Christmas.
My girlfriend at the time can'tcome because of her work.
There's a huge ice storm inKansas City, so I can't travel
to Iowa to go visit myrelatives, which is normally
what I would do for Christmas.
And an old friend of mine fromhigh school that I hadn't seen

(06:41):
in 10 years invited me over to aBible study at a friend's
house.
So these are three guys I wentto high school with I hadn't
seen in 10 years.
I go over to their house, I gotthe list, the laundry list of
questions that they can't answerabout God, right?
And uh again, long story short,I get encountered at my

(07:04):
friend's basement because I'm atthis point, I'm I I've actually
quit my corporate job and I'mworking at a health food store
in Las Vegas.
And it was the first time I waslike, this is exciting.
I'm passionate about this,herbs, like this is cool.
I love it.
Like I found life when I was sofelt so dead inside for so long
because you know I did.
I did the strip clubs, thealcohol, the drugs.

(07:27):
Like I I I have not sayingthis, you know, saying this with
sadness, like I I've literallybroken every commandment I have.
And so yeah, that was my life.
And so um, so yeah, just getencountered by the Lord as my
friends are trying to look upscriptures based off of what I'm

(07:52):
saying about health.
Because that's my passion atthe time, health.
So one of my friends pulls upGenesis 129 and reads that
scripture about everyseed-bearing plant shall be
yours for food.
And I go, guys, like I'm I feelweird.
I feel like I feel like kind ofalmost dizzy.
I almost feel like kind ofdrunk.

(08:14):
Um, I just had this odd feelingcome over me, and I'll never
forget my friend who was like,Oh, that's that's the Holy
Spirit entering your body.
And I'm like, what does thatmean?
Like I was no idea.
But it was such a profoundencounter, and I felt peace and
I felt the love of God, and justlike this blanket covering me.

(08:34):
And uh they laid hands on me,and I gave my life to Jesus at
um, I was 33 years old at thattime.
Wow, I gave my life to the Lordat 33 years old in this
basement.
So here's the crazy part I goback to Las Vegas and I'm living
with this girl, and I tell herwhat happened, she didn't want

(08:55):
to hear it.
She basically thought I'd gonekind of cuckoo, and it was so
real that I couldn't drinkalcohol anymore.
Like literally had zero tastefor alcohol.
I mean, I was a bottle of JackDaniels a week.
If I went into an establishmentwhere people were swearing, the

(09:15):
words pierced my skin like aknife.
It literally felt painful tohear the language that people
and I swore like a sailor.

unknown (09:25):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (09:26):
So I burned stuff, I sold stuff.
It was right when the housingmarket crashed in 2008.
I owned a half a million dollarhouse in Las Vegas, another
$280,000 house.
I was completely upside down inthose homes.
My girlfriend left me becauseshe thought I'd gone nuts.

(09:47):
Plus, I never proposed to her,which I think was God just grace
just saving me from thatsituation.

Rebecca Twomey (09:54):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (09:55):
I declared bankruptcy and I was like, I'm
starting my life over at 33years old.
So before I left Las Vegas, inthe middle of the night, again,
I'm working at this health foodstore, loving that part.
That's like the only part of mylife that was good in that
moment.
And in the middle of the night,out of a dead sleep, I sit up

(10:19):
and out of my mouth could I justsay spirit of health.
It just came out of me.
And I was like, I don't knowwhat that is, I don't know what
that means.
And you know, I was seeking theLord at that time, looking for
for answers.
I didn't have obviously anyspiritual mentors or anything
like that.
My parents weren't reallybelievers at that time.

(10:40):
And so, yeah, spirit of healthcame out of me.
I uh I stayed a little whilelonger in Las Vegas and
basically declared bankruptcy,packed everything up, got rid of
all like two houses worth ofpossessions and just all this
stuff.
And I'm like, I'm starting mylife over.
First time I felt like I heardfrom the Lord was move back to

(11:00):
Kansas City.
So I moved back to Kansas City.
My dad was retiring at themoment, uh, in that time in his
life.
And I was like, hey, dad, doyou want to start a business
together?
I feel like the Lord wants meto start this thing called
spirit of health.
I had gone back to school toget a doctorate in naturopathy
and a concentration inherbology.

(11:21):
And I did that while I wasliving in Las Vegas, and um, the
school was out of Birmingham,Alabama, and I was doing some
online things, training withthree master herbalists in Las
Vegas.
There's a huge natural healingcommunity in Las Vegas, uh, not
necessarily Christ-centered, butsure, yeah.
Amazing people.

Rebecca Twomey (11:41):
Okay.

Dr. Vaughn (11:42):
And I got to literally sit and spend time
with three brilliant masterherbalists when I lived in Las
Vegas, by the grace of God.
So I moved back to Kansas City.
I start Spirit of Health withmy dad uh in a little tiny colon
hydrotherapy office in OverlandPark.
And that was in 2010.

(12:03):
And, you know, that was kind ofthe birth, so to speak, of
Spirit of Health.
So I had my rebirth at 33,giving my life to the Lord.
And then it kind of all startedto make sense.
It started to click like, oh,wow, I'm passionate about herbs
and health, and the Lord wantsme to start this thing.
And like, oh, this is God.
Like, this is really cool.

(12:24):
So that's kind of the shortversion and the testimony of how
I came to the Lord and how Istarted Spirit of Health in
2010.

Rebecca Twomey (12:33):
That is beautiful, such an amazing
testimony.
The thing that I love the mostabout stories like yours is I
know I hear this sometimes fromChristians that they feel like,
especially those that have comefrom backgrounds where they have
experienced the similar thingsthat you went through, where

(12:53):
they were, you know, waywarddoing whatever they were doing,
drinking and drugs and whatnot.
And they come into these churchenvironments or these Christian
environments, and they feellike, well, I don't fit in here.
Everybody's too good.
And to hear the realness of usyour story and other stories of

(13:14):
people that have been throughthat, and then you know, the
Holy Spirit has filled themafter, it's so beautiful because
that's the thing.
All of us have gone throughthings.
The truth is that a lot ofpeople don't talk about it.
So I appreciate that yourwillingness to be open, say,
hey, I did these things and Iwent through these things, and
then this is what the Lord didto help pull me out of it and to

(13:36):
change my life because I knowthere are people listening to
this that sometimes feel likethey can't relate to others
because, oh, you haven't gonethrough these things.
Um, but my husband and I talkabout this all the time.
I think it's more that we don'ttalk about the dark side
enough.
Yes, you know, our dark past.
We're just kind of like, yeah,I had some years of of this and

(13:59):
then this.
It's like we we skip over it.
So I appreciate your honestyand sharing with people, yeah, I
I was in the pits.
I lived in Las Vegas, I was Iwas in it, you know, and the way
that the Lord pulled you out ofthat was incredible.

Dr. Vaughn (14:14):
Yeah, and I obviously you don't want to give
details when you live that kindof life, but like everything
they say about Vegas, it's it'strue, like it's a dark place.
And it is, and I don'tencourage people to to to to go
there unless you feel called tobe there.
Like it literally is a veryspiritually uh dark place.
Um, but just a powerful part ofmy story and my testimony, and

(14:38):
uh so yeah, I I love to sharethat.
I mean, I tell people I I Ishould have been dead many
times.
I mean, by the grace of God, Ireally feel like I'm alive
because when you're driving downthe interstate at 120 miles an
hour, drunk, like you shouldn'tbe alive.
Yeah, and praise God I didn'thurt somebody else.
So I I've been in dark, darkplaces, and so that's why I'm

(15:00):
just like wow.
And I I want to share thisbecause that is why when you
look at spirit of health on ourwebsite, on our YouTube, or you
listen to a video, I am not shyabout Jesus and who I am and
what I believe.
Like I get emotional justthinking about it because who am

(15:23):
I to separate God from mybusiness when by the grace of
God I'm even still alive?
Yeah, that I'm here, that I'mreborn, that I'm a new person,
that you know, I've been saved.
And and it's like, wow, I wantthe whole world to know about
that.
And I want Jesus, and that'swhy I think what we do is so
unique, is I want Jesus to bethe center of everything we do

(15:48):
at spirit of health, so thatpeople know about the goodness
of God in every way, shape, orform.
Because, you know, you getadvice from people like, oh, you
don't want to talk about Godand spiritual things in your
business.
And I'm like, no, I'm gonna,you know, I'm gonna do that.
And so I think that's part ofone of the reasons I feel like
we are so unique.

Rebecca Twomey (16:09):
Absolutely.
I kind of chuckled a little bitwhen you had mentioned the girl
you were dating at the timethought you were crazy.
You know, Rachel and I early onwhen we first started this
podcast, we we use the termweird for Jesus.
That's the thing is that whenyou really are talking about the
Lord and you're talking about,you know, just your relationship

(16:30):
with Jesus, people are like,All right, you guys, you guys
are a little out there, butwe're called to be separated
from this world.
We are not called to be of theworld, or you know, uh, so we
gotta be a little bit weird, andthat's okay.
And I think our our audience isis a little weird, right,

(16:51):
listeners.
So now I'm gonna ask you a lotmore.
We're doing a little seriestogether, as I mentioned
earlier, and I'm gonna ask you alot more in the second episode
about partnering with God in ourhealth, because that is what I
think is so super cool aboutwhat you're doing at Spirit of
Health.

(17:11):
But there's a couple morebackground things that I do want
to touch on in this episodethat are really fascinating, and
one of those is iridology, andthat's the study of uh a
person's eye to indicate healthpotential health issues.
It's something I've onlyrecently even learned about

(17:33):
myself, and so when I learnedthat you are are practiced in
this, I'm like, man, I can'twait to ask questions and talk
about this.
And whenever I bring this up topeople, they're like, I've
never heard of that before.
I have no idea what you'retalking about.
So tell us more about iridologyand what is what's the scoop on

(17:53):
this?

Dr. Vaughn (17:54):
Cool.
Um, I totally will, if youdon't mind if I can take a two
minutes before I touch oniridology, because I missed a
crucial part of, and I don'twant to give the whole story,
but amazing story of how I metmy wife.

Rebecca Twomey (18:07):
Oh, yeah.
We didn't get to your you'reright.
We didn't get to where you arenow.

Dr. Vaughn (18:12):
Yeah, and my fault.
Like, I I my wife was one of myfirst patients at Spirit of
Health.
She had a back injury shovelingsnow.
She's born and raised inHawaii, she's not supposed to be
shoveling snow.

Rebecca Twomey (18:25):
That's the problem.
Yeah, you can't shovel snowwhen you're from Hawaii.
What is she doing not inHawaii?
Come on.

Dr. Vaughn (18:32):
Yeah, again, good.
Well, I'll share real quick.
She was married before she wasmarried three months, and her
husband was killed in action inIraq.

Rebecca Twomey (18:41):
Oh.

Dr. Vaughn (18:42):
So tragic story.
She came to Kansas City to findJesus.

Rebecca Twomey (18:46):
Really?

Dr. Vaughn (18:47):
So there's a place here called the International
House of Prayer, which is aglobal 24-7 ministry.
They've been 24-7 praise andworship since 1999.

unknown (18:56):
Wow.

Dr. Vaughn (18:57):
So that is an amazing organization here that
is literally across the streetfrom us.
That's what brought her here.
She got injured, shovelingsnow.
She couldn't get well.
She's a physical therapist, shedoes Pilates, she's brilliant.
She went to Duke University.
She's still licensed PT.
I always tell people she's waysmarter than me.
Uh, she's an amazing woman.

(19:18):
And yeah, she got injured.
She wanted to find a naturopathto get better, but she's like,
oh, naturopaths are weird.
But she saw my website, and oh,like this guy talks about
Jesus.
I'm gonna go check him out.
So that's the story of kind ofhow we met.
And like, God's so redemptive.
Like, I felt so much shame andguilt from my first marriage

(19:39):
because I selfishly chose to getdivorced for no reason without
even trying to work on it.
And I felt like I don't deserveto get married again.
Like, I'm just gonna be Pauland just go after Jesus and just
do that, right?
But the Lord had other plans,so just amazing confirmation and
dreams and how the Lord broughtmy wife and I together.

(19:59):
But now we have three amazingchildren.
Naomi is 10, Noelle is eight,and Nathan's about to turn six.
So I am blessed beyond blessedto even be here, to be married
again, to have three amazingkids.
And so I just at least I'msorry, I wanted to share that
because it's such an importantpart of who I am.

Rebecca Twomey (20:19):
It is.
I'm I and I I'm so glad thatyou circled back to that because
one other piece I wanted tothrow out there is that we could
talk all day about birth withyou, Dr.
Vaughn, or because you knowyour wife had some home births.
Yes, three home births.
I love, as you know.
So we'll we'll get to that.

Dr. Vaughn (20:41):
Great, let's get there.
But iridology.
Okay, so I love this topic.
Uh, I'm an iridologist, I'vebeen uh certified in iridology
by actually Dr.
Ellen Tart Jensen, who is thedaughter-in-law to Dr.
Bernard Jensen.
A lot of people know about Dr.

(21:03):
Bernard Jensen.
He was big into colon health,he worked with thousands of
people in healing their uhbowels specifically.
Uh, he pioneered iridology inAmerica.
So I went out to San Marcos,California.
I got certified in iridology.
I've since done a lot of otherthings with iridology, but it it

(21:28):
is literally the reading of theiris of the eye.
And it's amazing how much youcan see in the eye.
And so I am very particularabout the things I get into.
Like this could be a wholenother podcast, but talking
about energy.
And I feel like the Lord thrustme into things that so many

(21:50):
people are suspicious of.
And it's not that you don'thave to test the spirits and be
mindful of things out there, butlike God spoke all things into
existence.
So that's energy.
That's that's a real thing.
And so I know a lot of peopleget weirded out about like, oh,
iridology?
Are you even a Christian?

(22:11):
Like, that's so new age andthat's weirdo and whatever.
And so I'm very prayerful andmindful about the things I get
involved with.
And so I prayed.
I prayed about iridology.
I'm like, this is fascinating,Lord, but is this something you
want me to get involved in?
And I always seek confirmationfrom the Lord.
I mean, for when I after I gotsaved for years and years, I got

(22:34):
up at 4 a.m.
spending time with Jesus fortwo to three hours every
morning, just saying, Who am I,Lord?
And what's your purpose for me?
And I just got so many profoundencounters from the Lord.
So I'm praying about Iridology.
A lot of people have heardMatthew 6, 22, I think it is,
the the uh the eye is the lampof the body.

(22:54):
And if the eye is good, thewhole body will be full of
light.
And I know there's lots ofdifferent interpretations
related to that scripture.
So I felt the Lord highlightthat, but I wanted to read this
scripture out of Leviticus.
Uh and and I don't say thislightly in that when the Lord
led me to the scripture, I wentinto travail.

(23:15):
So maybe people know whattravail is, maybe not.
And again, I don't say thatlightly because I don't want to
say like this happens to me allthe time.
It actually hasn't happened alot, but um, I'm reading this
scripture in Leviticus, and Iwent into travail.
In other words, I had aprofound encounter with the
Lord.
And so I thought I'd read thisscripture out of Leviticus 21,

(23:40):
starting at verse 16.
And the Lord spoke to Moses,saying, Speak to Aaron, saying,
No man of your descendants insucceeding generations who has
any defect may approach to offerthe bread of his God.
For any man who has a defectshall not approach, a man blind
or lame, who has a marred faceor any limb too long, a man who

(24:02):
has a broken foot or brokenhand, or is a hunchback or a
dwarf, or a man who has a defectin his eye, or eczema or scab,
or is a eunuch.
So I read that scripture aboutwho has a defect in his eye and
was encountered by the Lord in adramatic way.

Rebecca Twomey (24:23):
Oh, I bet.

Dr. Vaughn (24:25):
Let's state the obvious because of the blood of
Jesus, like we're all welcomeinto the kingdom of God with all
of those problems, with all ofthose defects, with all of those
issues.
Like, that's how amazing ourour God is to bridge that gap
even through sin and all theproblems going on with humanity

(24:48):
right now.
But what the Lord's highlightedto me as part of my journey is
the importance of our health andthe physical body, which often
gets missed or overlooked ortaken for granted, or hey, it's
just there's nothing you can doabout it.
Things are random, we justdon't understand it.

(25:09):
There's so much understandingthat we can have in how God
created us and designed us.
Like we're made in his image.
Like, wouldn't we want tounderstand how the body is and
how it works?
And so it's so fascinating thatyou can look in the eye and you
can see quote unquote defects,problems, health conditions,

(25:33):
lots of genetic things you cansee in the eye.
They're right there.
Um, I remember seeing a uh awoman who had a marking in her
eye related to a thyroidcondition, who had a thyroid
condition.
And it just so happened thather they that her parents and
her grandma was still alive.
They all lived here.
And her mom and her grandma, Igot to look at all three of

(25:54):
their eyes.
They had the same marking andthe same spot in their eye
related to thyroid, and they hada generational thyroid
condition.

Rebecca Twomey (26:00):
Wow.

Dr. Vaughn (26:00):
So you can see genetics in the eye, you can see
congestion in the eye.
Um it's fascinating.
Like, I there's so much you canlearn about iridology, um, but
it's it's a tool, it's anothertool, and you can see problems
inside of people's body throughthe eye.
And just think of that concept.

(26:21):
Like, who is our God thatwouldn't give us some tools or
some ways to know about ourhealth and what's going on
inside of our body?
Like, do we have to have alllike man-made technology and
testing to learn what's going onin the body?
Like, no, actually, we can findout what's going through the

(26:42):
body in many different ways.
Like, people read people'stongue, people read people's
feet.
Like people can like if you goto a good Chinese herbalist, he
can check your pulse and tellyou your life story.
And you're like, what?
So it's just like it'sfascinating.
And and I think we should befascinated with these things
because again, we're made inGod's image.

(27:04):
And so, yeah, there's so muchyou can find out just through
looking at somebody's eye.
I even would go to conferences,take my little light, shine it
in people's eyes, and be like,Oh, have you had a history of
you know, chronic bowelconditions?
And they're like, How did youknow that?
It's like you can see thesethings in the eye, and the eye
can change.
And that's a question a lot ofpeople have.

(27:24):
You can take a picture ofsomebody's eye, and if they
really work on their health andtheir health condition, their
health issues, eyes can changethe coloration.
You can see a lot of thecongestion, the mucus, the
toxins built up in people'sbody, and you can see it
lighten, and you can see eyeseven change from green back to
blue.
So uh it's a good indicator.

(27:46):
Again, it's just another toolin the tool belt.
It's just one of the manythings I use to try to figure
out what's going on with people.

Rebecca Twomey (27:52):
It totally seems like something that the Lord
would create.
I mean, it's non-invasive.
Literally, all you have to dois look at a person's eyeball
and look for specific markers.
So I've looked into theiridology chart that basically
states certain things andcertain spots of the eye can

(28:13):
indicate certain things, like ifit's related to the liver and
the kidneys or something of thatnature.
There was one that I hadsomething, a video I had seen,
and something that I read aboutwhite dots uh around the bottom
portion of the eye could be anindicator that the liver isn't
functioning properly.
Different things like that.
And obviously, I'm not studiedon this.

(28:33):
This is just I was fascinatedby it, wanted to know more about
it.
So I think it's really coolthat you're using this as a tool
in the process of helpingpeople figure out what's going
on with their health.
Because again, you're we'retalking about partnering with
the Lord, or we're gonna betalking about partnering with
the Lord in our health andhealing.
And I agree with you.

(28:54):
I don't think that the Lordwould have said, Let me create
all these people, and they'regonna wreck themselves because
you know they're human beings,and we're gonna need to create
all these machines andmedications and all these other
things in order for them to healfrom themselves.
I mean, there's there's someaspect of this that's he's he's

(29:16):
made it easier than it it thanwe think that it needs to be.

Dr. Vaughn (29:20):
Yes, because the Bible that I read says God
created everything and said itwas good.
Yeah, yeah.
So I really feel like prettymuch like, and then you know,
you can argue this if you want,and that'd be a great, you know,
theological discussion, but youcan argue that pretty much
everything we've done past thatwas not part of God's plan.

Rebecca Twomey (29:42):
Sure.

Dr. Vaughn (29:42):
And look where we're at today.

Rebecca Twomey (29:44):
Yeah.
I love that you mentioned thatbecause I always make this joke
about pregnancy like, um, yeah,ever god said it was good,
except for when you're pregnant,then you have a short term
disability.
Because that's that's how work,that's how we're.
We're qualified as women.
That's how we're uh that'sthat's our style.
We're we're disabled becausewe're pregnant, and it's the

(30:08):
most ridiculous thing in theworld to me because it's the
most beautiful blessing, and ourbodies were literally made, we
were created to grow and birththese human beings, and our
society in Western medicinetreats us as if we have a
disease, and that that diseaseneeds to be managed.
So, anyway, another episode.

(30:30):
I'd love to another episode,another time.
I won't go on this tangent.
Um, but I I think it's reallycool that you do use uh
iridology, and one other thingyou mentioned people think that
it's kooky.
I've heard the same thing aboutherbal, you know, herbology and
and herbalists.
I've heard the same thing aboutchiropractors and chiropractic.

(30:52):
I know there's somechiropractors that use, I forget
what it's called, you mightknow, where they kind of use
energy to know what's going onin people's bodies.

Dr. Vaughn (31:01):
Like they can literally testing applied
kinesiology.

Rebecca Twomey (31:04):
There you go.
Some I think it was that firstone that you mentioned.

Dr. Vaughn (31:07):
I do that.

Rebecca Twomey (31:08):
I do it, and you can use that tool to figure out
what is going on with a personwithout having to, you know,
throw them in a CAT scanmachine.
Totally per se.
Just an example.
Um, but I guess that's kind ofthe thing.
I mean, if we're weird forJesus, uh, we are comfortable
with this idea that healing andhealth doesn't have to come from

(31:31):
quote doctors in a Westernmedicine model.

unknown (31:36):
Right.

Rebecca Twomey (31:37):
And that's what I love about this audience here
is they're that's what they'reseeking.
That's what they're lookingfor.
They're looking for somethingoutside of this traditional
model where you go in and youtalk to somebody, and then they
say, Well, I'll send you tosomebody else, I'll send you to
a specialist, and then you go tothem and and they don't have an
answer for you, and you get allthis testing done, and you get

(31:57):
these blood results, and andwhere does it go?
You're you're in a loop.

Dr. Vaughn (32:02):
So I have a question for you.
Do you know what the worddoctor means?
Tell me the Greek root word fordoctor means a teacher.

Rebecca Twomey (32:15):
Interesting.

Dr. Vaughn (32:17):
So a doctor's job is to teach somebody how to be
healthy, how to be wealthy.
And so what doctors should befirst and foremost doing is
educating.
And so if you look at our ourculture of the medical system
we've created today, how muchgood wisdom and education are

(32:41):
doctors providing to theirpatients?
And again, that's why what wedo is so unique, is it's about
education and empowerment.
Like, yes, I work with peoplewith chronic illness, uh, but I
educate them along the way tothe point where not only are
they so much better than when westarted, but we've actually

(33:02):
taught and empowered them totake care of themselves, their
own health, their family, theirwhole lives, the rest of their
lives.
And I don't say this uh, youknow, I really like try to say
this with all humility, becauseI respect many doctors and
nurses in our medical system andwhat they do.

(33:23):
And so I have a profound uhrespect for so many people in
that field.
Uh, but I have a wife and threechildren, and we've never once
needed medical care outside ofwhat we can do for ourselves in
our own home.
And so, you know, we whenpeople are empowered with, you

(33:45):
know, herbs and therapies andtechniques and nutrition and
different things that they cando, then we can take care of our
own families.
And and we're supposed to beable to do that because, you
know, are we reliant on God andour own wisdom and knowledge?
Are we reliant on this othersystem?

(34:06):
And so the more reliant we areon things outside of God's
creation and design, the morebad things that can happen.
And you can certainly have seenwhat's happened with that in
the last three years,especially, if you know what I
mean.
So, you know, there's just areal uh awakening that needs to
happen where we're educatingpeople so that they can be their

(34:28):
own doctors because they'reeducated on how to take care of
themselves and their family.
So that's a huge part of whatwe do is yes, how do I get
somebody better with chronicillness?
Like there's lots of things wecan do with that, but at the end
of the day, I want them welland I want them empowered to
teach their family and to spreadthe message to others so we can

(34:50):
get out of and off of aman-made medical system and get
back to God's system, which Hegave us everything we needed.
We have it all in from thebeginning, and it is good.

Rebecca Twomey (35:04):
Absolutely.
That you you couldn't have saidit better.
And Rachel and I actually justgot finished uh with an episode
on Western medicine, the rootsof it.
Specifically, we're talkingabout Rockefeller and kind of
yeah, the we're going deep.
We we go deep and how thetypical system, the system that

(35:26):
most of us are programmed intofrom very young age, it's about
profit.
And I think that you're rightto say, you know, and I don't I
one of my favorite cousins is adoctor, and I know her heart,
and I know what she wants to dois help people.
Yes.
Just like my friends that haveworked in other aspects of the

(35:49):
medical field that are nursesand things like that, they have
a good heart, they want to helppeople, but they're in a system
that is not designed that way.
It is not that's not how itfunctions.
It's not it's not what you'redoing at Spirit of Health, where
you're empowering and teachingpeople about their bodies and

(36:11):
teaching them about how to healthemselves.
It is a very different model.
So, you know, that's kind ofthat was one of the questions I
had for you was on what Westernmedicine is missing.
And we joked that we could makethat a whole 45-minute episode.
And I don't want to skip oversome of the other stuff that we
wanted to talk about, but that'skind of where we're at, I

(36:33):
think, in our conversation alittle bit, is that is what I
think is missing in today'sworld, is just that I think the
enemy has infiltratedtraditional medicine a bit.
And, you know, there are goodfolks, and we don't want to
ignore the folks that are good,but there are also uh people

(36:54):
that I think have been led bythe enemy to say, yeah, I can
clone and I can, you know, I canI can do what God can do.
You know, I can control thisand and we can control this, and
it's it's it can be very darkat the same time.

Dr. Vaughn (37:13):
Well, I mean you you hit the nail on the head
because at the at the end of theday, that that's what this
whole battle is all about.
Who who's in charge?
Yeah, the exaltation of man orthe exaltation of God.
Absolutely so this might be agood time to mention my my
vision and my mission.
Yeah, can I share that?

Rebecca Twomey (37:33):
Go for it.

Dr. Vaughn (37:34):
So our vision, and you've been you've been actually
saying it.
Our vision is partnering withGod to bring healing and
restoration to all creation.
So a vision is supposed to be abig thing.
So I think that's a pretty bigstatement.
And of course, with God, allthings are possible, and so we
just want to partner with God inbringing healing as much as we

(37:57):
possibly can because this worldneeds a lot of healing and it
can't really do it without theLord.
But our mission is to declareGod's rightful place in medicine
through education andempowerment.
So we believe, so this is justright in line with what you're
talking about is I want todeclare that God is the healer,

(38:20):
he's still on the throne.
It's impossible for man to healanybody because I a man, a
person didn't create you.

Rebecca Twomey (38:31):
Yes.

Dr. Vaughn (38:31):
So that person can't heal you.
The only one that can heal youis God, because he's the
creator.
He created a body that can healitself.

Rebecca Twomey (38:40):
He can't yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (38:42):
So that's all God.
And so so we want to declarethat that his rightful place in
medicine has been usurped, youknow, that that man wants to be
in charge and wants to be theknow it all and wants to have
all the answers.
And we're like, no, no, God hadall the answers, still has all
the answers, and we'll be theonly one that ever has all the

(39:04):
answers.
And so we want to educate andempower people that that truth
that we have lost our way, uh,especially when it comes to
medicine.
So, how do we get that back?
And then our creed, if I canjust mention our 11 statements,
which we can get into more inthe future because each one is

(39:26):
so rich.
But a creed is a set of webelieve statements.
So these are the things webelieve at spirit of health.
And so, number one is webelieve Jesus Christ is the
source of all life and healing.
Two is we believe God healsthrough miracles and through
obeying his laws of creation.

(39:48):
So, yes, God is a God ofmiracles, and this is just a
huge point, especially in thebody of Christ.
Like, we don't have a free pastjust to do whatever we want
whenever we want.
Like, there are consequences todoing things that can hurt you.
Like, I wouldn't just go drinkgasoline out of the pump because
that can really damage thisbody that God created.

(40:11):
So, we do have to obey certainlaws, or we're gonna suffer the
consequences of it.
A great example of that is thezoo.
You can't take a lion, put itin a zoo, and feed it Cheetos
and Doritos and Coca-Colabecause you will cause sickness
and eventual death to thatanimal way before, you know, his
time.

(40:32):
So, so number three is webelieve health and freedom is
our birthright.
Number four, we believe Goddesigned the body to heal
itself.
I mean, that that's such anamazing thing.
Like this body is designed toheal itself.
We cut our arm, we have ahundred percent confidence that
that's gonna fully heal.
Yet we have this thyroidcondition that's a little off,

(40:55):
and the doctor says it's amystery, we don't know why, and
you're gonna have to take thisdrug and you're gonna have to
take it the rest of your lifebecause there's no cure.
Like that just doesn't computewith me at all.
Uh, number five, we believetrue healing is in body, soul,
and spirit.
So we definitely have to lookjust beyond the physical body.
We have to look at the mind andour emotions, and and clearly

(41:17):
there's there's spiritualcomponents as well to our
health.
Number six is we believe thebody understands the
intelligence of God's creationover man-made synthetics.
So we believe herbs have moreinherent intelligent wisdom for
the body than pharmaceuticaldrugs.

(41:37):
Number seven is we believe Godhas given us all medicine needed
for health and healing.
Just like we said, God createdall, he said it's good.
Herbs are for us, he createdthem for us.
I've done whole videos goingthrough scriptures of why God
gave us all the medicine weneed, and it's clearly pointed
out in the Bible.
It is for us.
This whole earth was createdfor us.

(42:00):
So thinking that herbs are somenon-Christian thing, again, I
believe is uh is just blindersover people's understanding of
how God created the world forus.
Number eight is we believecleansing and detoxification is
the key to purification andrestoration of the temple.

(42:21):
So I'm huge into cleansing.
Like there are toxins andpoisons interfering with how God
designed the body to work.
And we have to clear thosetoxins and poisons out to
restore health.
And that's something modernmedicine does not teach people
at all.
In fact, they often condemn orridicule cleansing and

(42:42):
detoxification.
And I think that's because it'sactually the key to somebody
getting well.

Rebecca Twomey (42:48):
Yes, yes.

Dr. Vaughn (42:50):
Number nine, we believe disease is a result of
toxicity in body, soul, andspirit.
Number 10, we believe pain isan indicator.
And this is a great one becauseI'm so thankful for pain.
People like, wow, that's themost insane statement ever.
Like, what's the number oneselling pharmaceutical

(43:10):
classification of drugs on themarket?
Painkillers.
So thank God for pain.
Because guess what?
If we didn't, if God didn'tcreate the body to experience
pain, we would all be dead solong ago because of all the
crazy things that we do.

Rebecca Twomey (43:25):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (43:25):
So pain's actually an indicator to tell you that
there's a problem.
It's like the engine lightcoming on in your car.
So are you going to address itbecause there's a problem?
Are you going to cut the wireand pretend like there's not
really a problem?
So pain is an indicator.
And I think that's crucial tounderstand like that we can
believe that there's good thingsthat can come out of pain if we

(43:47):
look at it from a godlyperspective.
And then the last one, number11, is we believe our choices
directly impact our health andthe health of future
generations.
And this would get intoeverything you love about moms
and pregnancy and having healthychildren, and just how many
things are in the way of us notonly having an amazing birth

(44:08):
experience, but having healthychildren because the enemy comes
to steal, kill, and destroy.
And there's so many thingsworking against us right now in
life and bringing forth lifeonto this earth.
So those are our 11 we believestatements or and or what we
call our creed.
And yeah, we could easily do apodcast on each one of those.

Rebecca Twomey (44:32):
Absolutely.
Absolutely, we can.
There's so many things that Iwant to dig into those.
I'm glad you mentioned it herebecause we are, and I and
listeners keep listening.
Uh, we're going to address alittle bit more in this episode,
but we're going to get intosome of this stuff in the next
episode of this series.
So stay tuned for more on that.

(44:53):
I have, I'm sure people have amillion questions after that,
that things that we want to talkabout.
But I wanted to refocus alittle bit as we wrap up this
episode on the this idea of rootcause and chronic illness.
A lot of people have, I lovethat you you said pain is a
great thing because it's anindicator of something.

(45:14):
And a lot of times people havepain and they go take Tylenol or
whatever they're going to take,right to suppress that pain.
And they'll do that for years.
And I'm not going to namenames, but there's someone in my
life that uh this is thescenario.
It's like every day a headache,and then takes something for

(45:34):
that headache.
And as I've gotten more intounderstanding the body, it's
what are you drinking enoughwater?
Are you getting sunlight?
What are you eating?
You know, all of these kinds ofthings.
And then come to find out thisperson was experiencing toxicity
issues.
And that's the thing is thatthe pain and the symptoms that

(45:57):
we have are an indicator of aproblem.
And what you do that I love isyour goal is getting to the root
cause.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Right.

Rebecca Twomey (46:06):
What is the root cause of your illness?
Because the symptom isn't theproblem, it's there's something
else that's causing it.
So talk to us a little bitabout some of the common issues,
these common problems that yourun into the most.
I know there's a lot, there's alot of things that you see, but
what are some that are common?

(46:27):
I'd imagine thyroid issues.
Um, I know Lyme disease is abig thing that people have
problems with, and even moldexposure.
So talk to me about what yousee.

Dr. Vaughn (46:41):
Yes.
Great question.
You definitely hit on a coupleof them.
This is why I love what we do,and I feel like it's such a
blessing because people arechronically ill and they don't
know why.
They don't have any answers.
They go to the doctor, and likeyou said, they're giving

(47:03):
immunosuppressants because it'sautoimmune, painkillers to take
care of the pain, steroids tohelp deal with the the pain or
the or the or the skin conditionor whatever.
And they're suffering.
And so, why are peoplesuffering?
And so the the quick answer tothat is toxicity.

(47:25):
And so the medical system doesnot check for why people are
sick, which is mind-boggling.
Because why wouldn't you wantto know why you have this XYZ
labeled disease?

Rebecca Twomey (47:41):
Like nobody should because there's no money
in that.
Sorry.

unknown (47:45):
True.

Dr. Vaughn (47:46):
So we should not be labeled, nobody should have a
label of an illness becausethat's not who you are.
Yeah, and that was not God'splan for you at all.
And so the reasons people aresick, we test for those things.
We do lab tests that check fortoxicity, and it's easy to do.

(48:09):
I can do it to anyone,anywhere.
I got a couple I'm working withright now in Nigeria.
So you can live anywhere in theworld and do these things.
And just a quick story, becauseI think testimonies are real
powerful, which highlights this,and I could share so many of
these stories.
But we have a mom named Caseyliving in the state of

(48:31):
Washington in her early 30s withthree children.
Her mom is living with herbecause she's so chronically ill
she can't take care of her ownchildren.
She's losing weight.
Her color of her skin is likepale gray, and she literally
feels like she's ready to meetJesus.

(48:52):
Doctors have no answerswhatsoever.
I'm the first one that evenmentioned that mold.
And so we did some lab testingand okra toxin A, which is an
aspergillus mold, the toxiclevel of aspergillus mold in
this particular test is 7.5.

(49:13):
Her aspergillus mold, okrotoxinA level was 243.

Rebecca Twomey (49:20):
Oh my.

Dr. Vaughn (49:22):
And that was one of nine mold toxins that showed up
on her test, including black.

Rebecca Twomey (49:29):
Wow.

Dr. Vaughn (49:30):
So for the first time in her life, you know, it
didn't immediately solve theproblem, right?
But for the first time, she hadthe root cause, the why.

Rebecca Twomey (49:40):
Why she was sick, what was making her sick,
and then the next step healing.

Dr. Vaughn (49:46):
That alone creates hope.

Rebecca Twomey (49:48):
Yep.

Dr. Vaughn (49:49):
Empowers somebody to do a course of action to know
what to do.
Now you know what you canresearch and and learn about.
And I I mean, it just that evenif she didn't continue working
with me, that was sotransformational.
But her story's so cool becausenow it's three years later.

(50:10):
I've tested her mold levelsmultiple times.
She had nine high mold markers,eight of them are zero.
And the okra toxin A that was243 is down to 10.

Rebecca Twomey (50:22):
Amazing.

Dr. Vaughn (50:24):
And she's writing, I don't know if she finished it,
but she's writing a book calledFrom Mold to Gold.
I love it.
Got encountered by Jesus duringa cleanse she was doing, and
the Lord said, I'm healing you.

unknown (50:37):
Wow.

Dr. Vaughn (50:38):
And so to me, God can heal with a miracle in the
moment, and you don't havecancer anymore.
But I also believe hertestimony is a miracle of God.

Rebecca Twomey (50:49):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (50:50):
If you actually get to the root cause of why you're
sick, you go through thetreatments and the things you
need to do to get well, ittransforms your life, your
family, others around you.
I mean, that to me is amiracle.
And so to answer your question,because I'm often long-winded
in these things.

Rebecca Twomey (51:08):
That's okay.
I actually have follow-upquestions for you on this one
too, if we want to pause there.
Because we're going to talkmore about food in the next
episode and um cleansing andthings of that nature, and using
herbs.
But that is what happened withthis client of yours, is that
you used food.

(51:29):
God created herbs, vegetables,foods, you know, what we eat
here on earth.
You used what the Lord createdto help her heal her body.
She was able to heal her bodythrough what she put into it.
Correct?

unknown (51:45):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (51:45):
Yes, and that and that's part of it.
Like the diet's crucial to notmake your condition worse.

Rebecca Twomey (51:53):
Sure.

Dr. Vaughn (51:54):
And the diet's crucial not to be consuming
things that feed into theproblem.
But the food itself, like, itisn't bad, you know, because she
couldn't eat bread because shehad mold, like, bread's not a
bad thing, but is your body ableto process it?
And if anybody has any foodallergies, any food

(52:14):
sensitivities, any foods theycan't eat, the problem is the
chronic uh toxicity in theperson's body, the inability of
the body to process that thing.

Rebecca Twomey (52:26):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (52:26):
So mold, chronic infection.
So I've seen over 10,000 peoplein 12 years.

unknown (52:34):
Okay.

Dr. Vaughn (52:35):
So what have I seen the most in 12 years?

Rebecca Twomey (52:38):
Oh, yeah.
Tell me.

Dr. Vaughn (52:40):
Mold?
Lyme disease.
But there's two things thattrump both of those.
The number one thing I've dealtwith and I've seen in the most
people in all my years isparasites.
There you go.
The irony of it that themedical system almost laughs at

(53:01):
people when they mention havingparasites, or like that's
something that only animalshave, or that's a third-world
problem.
No, it is an epidemic crisisthat people have parasites.
I have not that you'd want tosee them, but I have a folder
with thousands of pictures ofthings that have come out of the

(53:22):
human body.
It's it's mind-boggling.
So if you study parasitologyand what parasites are and what
they do, because parasite isGreek and it means to dine at
another's table.
And so, yeah, parasites, mold,Lyme disease, chronic infections
is hands down the number oneissue plaguing humanity right

(53:45):
now.
And going back, the root cause,the reason is the unhealthy
condition, the environmentinside of our body that's
conducive to allowing thosechronic infections to actually
live in that body.
So that's part of what we'redoing, is we're cleansing the
whole, you have to treat thewhole person.
You don't just go in and killparasites.

Rebecca Twomey (54:07):
Yeah.

Dr. Vaughn (54:07):
That's part of it.
But you have to get theperson's body well.
I have seen hundreds,thousands, probably, I mean
hundreds of kids.
I don't know how many, youknow, adults, kids.
I I work with a lot ofchildren.
The number one thing I've seenclear eczema in children is a
parasite cleanse.
I had a five-year-old girl.

Rebecca Twomey (54:29):
I'm upset that Rachel is not on today because
her children literally haveparasites right now.
Okay.
Like I'm not even, I'm not evenexaggerating.
She would be okay with mesharing this.
But her one of her sons hasbeen struggling with eczema and
skin issues.
The other one, same thing.
And they came to her one dayand said, Mom, I found stuff in

(54:54):
my in my potty, you know, in mynumber two.

unknown (54:57):
Yes.

Rebecca Twomey (54:58):
And she's like, show me.
But they always would flush itfirst.
And then one day she finallygot a peek and was like, oh man.
And so she knows that's whatthey're going through.
Um, I'm not sure if they'vebeen able to clear it with what
they've been using, but I'm I'mso upset that she's not feeling
good and can't be here to talkto you about this.

Dr. Vaughn (55:17):
Yeah, well, it's it's very, very real.
Five-year-old girl, head-to-toeeczema, itching so bad.
Um, it was bleeding, uh,couldn't sleep at night.
So guess what?
The whole family wasn'tsleeping at night.
So the family, devastated bythis girl's condition, uh, ended

(55:39):
up working with her for, youknow, probably a good year, but
I'll never forget the very firstparasite cleanse.
A children's 18-day parasitecleanse, her skin cleared up
about 70%.
She started sleeping throughthe night, and it totally
changed their entire familybecause she did one $30 cleanse.

(56:00):
And so that this is the theagain, the tragedy, oftentimes,
of the modern medical system tonot find the root cause of
what's going on, to not know howto treat it properly, and how
many people's lives are upsidedown and they're not doing the
things that they're called to dobecause they're dealing with
these health conditions becausethey have no answers.

Rebecca Twomey (56:20):
I want to ask you real quick about this
five-year-old and the cleansethat she did.
What type of herbs are were inthat cleanse, if you don't mind
me asking?

Dr. Vaughn (56:30):
Well, on our website, we do have a couple of
children's uh parasite cleanses.
One is just very simply calledchildren's parasite cleanse, and
then we have an advanced one.
But the children's parasitecleanse is just an herbal
parasite formula, it's gotdiatomaceous earth in it, okay,
um, to add to it.
Um, but just some of yourtraditional herbs that work for

(56:52):
parasites that a lot of peoplemight be aware of if you get
into parasite cleansing, likeblack walnut and cloves, and so
a fairly simple formula, andthen you know, just pair that
with diet.

Rebecca Twomey (57:03):
Okay, and it works.
What does that do?
Those herbs, when they go intosomeone's body who has a
parasite, do they like scare theparasite out?

Dr. Vaughn (57:13):
No, it kills them.
No, it's it literally killsthem.

Rebecca Twomey (57:18):
Okay.

Dr. Vaughn (57:18):
I would love to do a whole podcast just on parasites
because this is like such afascinating topic that we just
can't dive into because there'sso much there.
But no, the herbs literallykill parasites.
And what people don'tunderstand about parasites is
they're they can be anywhere inthe body, they can be in the
liver, in the lungs, and theskin.
I've had seen people parasitescome out of people's noses.
I mean, I can tell you parasitestories for for days.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Sure.

Dr. Vaughn (57:41):
Um, but parasites actually embed themselves in the
colon wall, so they're not justlike floating in the colon,
like hanging around.
I really dig into enemas andand really advanced things to
get parasites out of people'sbodies because they they don't
want to die, they they want tolive and survive in your body.

(58:02):
So it's a gross topic and it'sa hard topic, but man, I talk
about this stuff every day withpeople.
So it doesn't freak me out atall.
I'm fascinated by it.
I just want people to get toget well.
Sure.
So it kills the parasites.

Rebecca Twomey (58:17):
I have another follow-up question real quick on
parasites and where they comefrom.
Where are people getting theseparasites from?
Now, I'm gonna just throw atheory at you first so that you
can tell me whether you thinkthis is partially true or not.
But I I've experienced a lot offriends whose kids have gone

(58:37):
through, I'm gonna censormyself, the V schedule, and
their kids have ended up withskin issues like eczema.
And after doing cleanses, theyhave cleared.
So it almost kind of indicatesto me, I wonder if something in
that is causing parasites insideof the body.
And I also mentioned to youwhen I had my first daughter

(58:59):
when I was pregnant with her,they gave me a rogam shot, which
has a human blood product init, which I I do not, I've never
gotten that um injection againonce I really went through this
experience and learned about it.
But I didn't know what I knownow, right?
And when I had that skinreaction, it felt like I had

(59:20):
something crawling underneath myskin.
You know, I almost thought itwas scabies because that's the
only condition that I know ofthat was similar to what I was
experiencing.
But I felt like there was aliving being crawling underneath
my skin.
And I did a dandelion rootcleanse and it cleansed whatever

(59:40):
was happening out of my system.
But I can't help but wonder ifthese injections that we're
getting into our body are alsoinserting parasites into us.
Just a theory.

Dr. Vaughn (59:54):
Yeah, it's a good one.
And I I probably don't want togo down that rabbit hole.
Right now.
There's a lot of controversyaround it.
And if you if you watch myYouTube channel, you will see
I'm not shy in speaking outagainst injections of all sorts.

(01:00:15):
Because you don't see a man ina white lab coat with a needle
in the Garden of Eden.
Like it's not part of thebiblical story.

Rebecca Twomey (01:00:26):
No, it is not.

Dr. Vaughn (01:00:28):
It's not at all.

unknown (01:00:29):
No.

Dr. Vaughn (01:00:29):
And so again, I I'd be another podcast, another
time, you know, getting into thethe theories and the
understanding of do we needthose things at all or not?
Or what about the good ones?
Or what about a delayedschedule?
Blah blah blah.
I'd love to talk about all thatbecause I'm very passionate
about it.
Um the bottom line is it's it'sand I did a video on five

(01:00:54):
biblical reasons not to do that.

Rebecca Twomey (01:00:56):
Great, great.
I'll link that.
I'll link that in the shownotes.

Dr. Vaughn (01:01:01):
Yeah, link that video.
I go through the Bible and I'mbe like, this is evidence on why
we should not be doing thesethings to our children or
ourselves.
And so I'd encourage people tocheck that out.
And uh, and yeah, so the bottomline is you can't put toxins
and poisons in the body,especially you can't violate the

(01:01:23):
bloodstream because the life ofall flesh is in the blood, in
the blood.
So as soon as you startviolating the bloodstream,
you're violating God's designand purposes of how things are
supposed to work.
There's a natural order to howthe earth and our bodies are
supposed to interact together.
And once you start tocircumvent that natural order,

(01:01:47):
bad things happen.
And so I will just say it thatway.
Um, but yeah, to answer yourquestion on where parasites come
from, uh they so anybody who'sever traveled overseas, any if
you have pets, and I'm sorry foryou cat lovers out there, but

(01:02:08):
cats are the absolute worst whenit comes to parasites.
Rachel has two cats.
And I tell people never everpick up or touch a stray cat.
And I mean it because like Ihave had really, really
challenging, tragic stories towhat has happened to some people
just because they picked up astray cat and got scratched.

(01:02:30):
I mean, literally devastatingtheir entire health.
So you have to be reallycareful of, and so everybody
encounters them.
So it's not that we're notgoing to encounter parasites.
Everybody's going to encounterthem.
But what's the state of yourhealth?
What's the state of your body?
You know, is it a home or ahost where they can live and

(01:02:52):
survive?
And if you go back old school,people didn't run to the doctor
all the time.
They lived out in the country,they lived on farms, they had to
learn how to take care ofthemselves.
Doing a parasite cleanse was anormal thing that you did for
your entire family at least acouple times a year.
And so, why would it not benecessary, even more so, in

(01:03:15):
today's culture of all thetoxins and poisons that are
being thrown at us?
Uh, these things are going toget in the body and they're
going to take root.
And I don't want to be one ofthose that's like everybody has
parasites, but the reality is70% of parasites are smaller
than the eye can see.
They're microscopic.

(01:03:36):
So, yes, everybody does havesome level or form of parasites
in their body, in theirbloodstream.
But are they in check or arethey allowed to grow out of
control?
And of course, parasitecleanses, you can see the big
ones, the hook, hookworms andthe tapeworms and the flukes and
all those kind of things.
But the little ones, man, Ideal with that so much with

(01:03:56):
people with bloodborne diseasesof the bloodstream related to
parasites and different things.
So, yeah, everybody encountersthem.
You're going to have moreexposure.
Like, how many people have cometo me because they're like, my
health seemed fine?
And then I went on this missiontrip to Thailand.
When I came back, my health'sbeen a problem ever since.
So I hear that story over andover and over again.

(01:04:18):
And I have such a heart for thebody of Christ.
Like we're going out onmissions to spread the gospel of
Jesus.
Are we prepared to take care ofour health?
Are we prepared to encounterthese things that we've never
encountered before?
Are we taking precautions tocleanse ourselves and heal
ourselves and keep our bodiesfree of these foreign toxins
that we're encountering all thetime overseas?

(01:04:39):
So that's another just reallyimportant topic.

Rebecca Twomey (01:04:42):
Yes.
Yes, fantastic.
I know we want to get to somany more things.
So we're gonna wrap rightbefore we do.
I have one last comment aboutthe mold thing.
Years ago, I mean, I'm talking15 years ago, the truth about
what happened to, I don't knowif you remember that actress
Britney Murphy who passed away.

(01:05:02):
She technically died from toxicmold exposure.
But if you look into her story,it's been so censored now that
she got pneumonia eventuallyfrom how sick she was from this
toxic mold exposure, that theysay she died from pneumonia.
And her mother-in-law, wholived in the same house as her,

(01:05:24):
ended up the same condition.
The toxic mold got to her.
They say she died frompneumonia as well.
And so I think the only reasonI mention this is that a lot of
times people can think that,well, that seems uncommon.
That's not gonna happen to me.
It happens to people, yeah.
But because we don't talk aboutit, and you know, celebrity

(01:05:46):
gossip is celebrity gossip,right?
They're gonna censor and dowhatever they're gonna do with
whatever stories they have aboutpeople's deaths.
Um, but when it first came out,there was clear language about
what really went on with her andher health.
And so anyway, these things caneat your can't eat your body to
the point of you're just sosick that then you get other

(01:06:09):
illnesses and stuff.
So just a story I was thinkingabout as as we were talking
about toxic mold.
So glad you're helping peopleget that on control.

Dr. Vaughn (01:06:17):
Yeah, I had not heard that.
And yeah, it, you know, mold isyou know, circling back real
quick just to finalize this thisthought process is that
infectious disease, mold, Lymedisease, parasites.
Uh I highlight that becauseit's such a big deal.
But heavy metal poisoning,mercury, aluminum, lead, those

(01:06:38):
are real issues.
Chemical toxicity, herbicides,pesticides, glyphosate,
parabens, on and on and on.
Uh, that's another big deal.
Radioactive elements.
I work with quite a few peoplethat have uranium toxicity,
cesium.
Okay, where are these thingscoming from?
Our world is just very toxictoday.
So, going back to root cause,why people are sick, it's those

(01:06:59):
things.
And the medical system doesn'ttest for those.
And what all of those thingsdo, like you mentioned the mold
story with uh Brittany Murphy,it suppresses the immune system.
When you suppress the immunesystem, you're vulnerable to all
types of things, which is whythere's so much sickness out
there today.
