Last Monday, at the end of the day, I was watching a news program that I have loved for a long time: 60 Minutes.
It’s a program that is essentially a storyteller.
And what fantastic stories it has!
In that episode, they talked about a medical scientist, a neurosurgeon who, through a non-invasive technique, “cured,” or rather, stopped the progression of Parkinson's disease.
All this through the use of high-frequency ultrasounds that “straighten the person.” Also in that episode, they talked about a case where the doctor managed to make a drug-addicted person become “cured.”
They even spoke with this person, asking if he had relapsed or if he was truly clean.
I was simply amazed. At the point that science has reached.
Since I am a dreamer, I immediately began to imagine scenarios where we could use this to cure many of the world's problems.
This could revolutionize the world.
The way we can live our daily lives. We could banish the problems of drugs, alcohol, and all existing addictions from the face of the earth. Wouldn't that be fantastic?
Now you ask, what does this have to do with the Island of Madeira?
And I tell you, everything!

(00:13):
You all know how much I lovemy island. This land of mine has
landscapes that can transport us to Vietnamor Thailand. If I go to another
part of the island, it feelslike I'm a Canadian. I'm in a
Canadian forest. Remind me of thepostcard that some immigrant relatives used to send
(00:34):
us when I was a kid.At the times it resembles the Grand Canyon
in the United States. This landof mine is a land of contrasts.
But if we throw everything into amixer, steer it well, and had
a pinch of love, we havemy Madeira Island. It's no coincident that
(00:57):
people call this little piece of landplanted in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
the Pearl of the Atlantic. Thisland truly has a special energy. Sometimes
I travel away from it on holidays. When I return, the moment the
(01:17):
plane is approaching the runway to land, looking at Mishiku Kenissal and the surrounding
mountains, the first thing I feelis I'm coming home. Only those who
live here can understand what I'm saying. But for those who lived here in
the past. When I say past, I mean for the myth twentieth century,
(01:40):
and early than that, they musthave gone through hell. As we
say here in Portugal, there wasa lot of immigration back then, a
lot of poverty and misery. Livinghere must not have been easier at all.
I became aware of this when Ilearned the story of Antonio Justino,
(02:00):
which I shared in the first episodeof this podcast. Those were very hard
times. Once again, I'm goingto repeat myself by saying that nothing happens
by accident. And why do Isay this, Well, last Monday,
at the end of the day,I was watching a news program that I
(02:23):
have loved for a long time,sixty Minutes. It's a problem that is
essentially a storyteller, and what fantasticstories it has. In that episode,
they talk about medical scientists a neurosurgeonwho, through a non invasive technique,
cure or rather stop the progression ofParkinson's disease, all this through the use
(02:50):
of high frequency ultrasounds that straighten theperson. Also in that episode, they
talk about a case where the doctormanaged to cure a drug added person become
cured. They even spoke with thisperson asking if he had relapsed or if
he was truly clean. I wassimply amazed at the point that science has
(03:14):
reached. Since I'm a dreamer,I immediately began to imagine scenarios where we
could use this to cure many ofthe world's problems. This could revulanize the
world the way we can live ourdaily lives. We could banish the problems
of drugs, hawkehol and all theexistent addictions from the face of the earth.
(03:38):
Wouldn't that be fantastic? Now youask, what does this have to
do with the island of Madeira,And I tell you everything. You will
understand in a few minutes. Thisis the David and Goliath podcast, and
(03:58):
I will tell you real stories fromnormal people who had great mighty wars and
defeated their giants. Until recently,I used to be a volunteer here in
Funchelle. I would pick up leftoverfood from a hotel's dinner. Then we
could pack it in trays and giveit to people who were struggling, prostitutes,
(04:21):
homeless individuals, and often drug addits. Sometimes they would come to me
and start talking. I would staysilent and listen to them. Incredible stories
in imaginable things, things that supposedlyonly happened in movies. These were stories
(04:44):
of sexual abuse committed by parents,stepparents, teachers, caregivers, coaches,
you name it, when they werechildren. Other stories involve physical abuse,
pure and art bea things. SometimesI felt like asking, how do you
endure this? How are you stillalive? A terror that I can never
(05:12):
fully imagine the pain caused by theseerrors, And regardless of the story,
Drugs or alcohol or both, werethey way to stop feeling the pain in
their chests to stay alive, Otherwisethey would most likely end up dead on
some street here in Funchelle. It'sno wonder that most of these people never
(05:34):
recur from these terrible traumas and havea normal life. As I said,
one of the people who received thisinnovative but still experimental treatment was a drag
added, I don't know exactly whatstory motivated him to use these substances,
(05:55):
but it was probably something similar tothe ones I've just shared. He had
been used drugs since he was seventyyears old. He was considered a terminal
case that his if continued living thisway, death would soon knocking at his
door. The patient was placed ona stretcher and then directly into a tube.
(06:18):
Less put it in that way wherethese high frequency beams would target at
his brain, and the doctors hopedthat the anxiety to use drugs would disappear
or decrease. But to ensure nothingwent wrong, the doctors had to know
the exact spot in the brain totarget these beams. At the start of
(06:43):
the treatment, they began by showingthe patient images of people injecting themselves or
needles with drugs. Almost instantly theysaw one of these legs start to move.
The patient was already anxious. Onthe other hand, the doctors located
the exact spot and commanded to sendthe beams. They seemed like generals of
(07:08):
high ranking army officers giving the orderthe fire. Throughout the pushed procedures,
the images of drugs and people injectingthemselves were never removed from the patient's view.
I don't know how long the treatmentlasted, but after a few minutes,
the nervous movement of the patient's legsstopped. The craving to use had
(07:30):
disappeared. After this intervention, theperson returned to where he lived, a
place, according to him, wheredrugs were everywhere, but he never felt
the urge to use again. Hetold the sixty minutes reported that one die
one of his friends was shaking toomuch and could injecting himself. He asked
(07:57):
for his help. He agreed andwent to give hands. He was never
very nervous about doing it because hefeared being tempted to use again. But
no cured, he felt no desireto use. The man was really cured,
and since the surgery he has neverused any subsistence again. For our
(08:20):
part of his past, he couldhave a normal life. Isn't that amazing?
Will this be used for all thegolias out there? Imagine a person
who is afraid of public speaking,afraid of presenting, presenting a project at
(08:41):
work to their boss and colleagues.I know many people like that. They
start sweating, trembling with fear,anxious that something might go wrong, fear
for forgetting everything they have to say. At the moment of the presentation,
when they begin to present, theydo the presentation, they start to shake.
(09:03):
The audience eyes glued to them makethem tremble even more. Their voice
becomes shaky. No, this soundcomes out. Some of them can't even
get their voice to come out.Imagine if they were put in that tube.
(09:24):
High frequency ultrasound beams were aimed atthe air of the brain where the
anxiety is produced, and bad it'sgone. No more anxiety. Now you
can speak on a stage to fiveor one thousand people, it doesn't matter,
or in a stadium to fifty thousandpeople. It's all the same to
(09:46):
you. Nothing can disturb them.Wouldn't that be fantastic too? And what
about people who are afraid of flying. Wouldn't this be a great solution.
No more panic attacks or running tothe bathroom to try and smoke a cigarette
in a secrets to calm their nerves. I mean these days that would be
(10:11):
impossible cause because the captain we immediatelyknow through some alarm going off in the
cockpit. But back to the challengeswould be a good solution. Maybe I
don't know the answer to this question. Anything that comes up in our life,
any obstacle. Operation done. Wecan move on to the next problem.
(10:35):
No more need for sling or courageto solve or face the challenge.
So the question is, or thequestions are, would we evolve faster as
individual, as an end as asociety or not? Could we discover after
this operation other barriers or other Heidentalents? Would we be stronger people,
(11:03):
more resilient, more courages. AsI answered before, I don't know the
answer to these questions. Remember Imentioned earlier about people who were born here
in all days on the island,how hard it was to live here.
If you want to know more indetail, you can always listen to the
second episode of this podcast. Butwhere I'm getting at you might think right
(11:28):
now, I like to use thefollowing analogy. These gliaths are like stones
in our pockets. They bother usat first, but over the time we
get used to their weight. Theproblem is that as we keep walking,
(11:48):
we pick up more stones and putthem in our pockets until they are full.
Then the stones start to fall out, and before we know it,
we can't move because the weight ofthe stones is so great that this prevents
us from moving. I speak frommy experience. I had to take all
(12:09):
those stones and use them to pavemy path. Yesterday I was talking to
a cousin and told him that leavingMadeira at eighteen to study in Portal,
facing all the suddenness and difficulties lifethrough my way turn a boy into a
(12:30):
man. You can be sure Ibecome a better man being. You can
be sure I became a better humanbeing than I used to be. Now,
imagine me being born here in nineteenforty five in the countryside where everything
was extremely poverty. To have somethingto eat, I often have to bother
(12:56):
for something. I had to getto my job, I would have to
walk across across mountains and valleys almostfifty kilometers or more. Adding to this,
when I was fourteen or fifteen yearsold, there was a high chance
I wouldn't have an education and mighteven be sent to war. At that
(13:20):
time, many immigrants went to theUnited States, Venezuela, South Africa,
and other European countries. Many emigratedat fourteen or younger alone to start a
new life far from the island.Can you imagine your fourteen year old children
(13:41):
immigrants alone to another country right now? Not even surgery could have solved these
problems here on the island, muchless the anxiety or fear of going alone
to a new world. On theother hand, many of them of the
refugee in alcohol because back then andeven today, men don't cry. But
(14:07):
that's a topic for another episode.Until this procedure is available, we will
have to face our goliath and thatthere's no other way. Will have to
face our fears and anxieties. There'sno other solution. I've mentioned some of
my heroes in my podcast, AyrtonSaying, Kobe, Bryant, and so
(14:31):
on. They all went through hardships. Yrtun went to England in the early
eighties of the Passage Century and faceddifficulties because he was Brazilian. Kobe was
accused of sexual assault by a woman. All of them, all of us
(14:52):
good, go through hardships in ourlives. Why I don't know, but
I know that every time we gothrough them, we become a new version
of ourselves. I like public speaking, It's one of my passions. When
(15:13):
I started, I made tons ofmistakes. I said many hums, made
lots of grammatical errors. My stagepost was anything but correct. I had
no vocal variety and sometimes liked projections. In other words, I wasn't loud
enough. That was two years ago. What did I do to improve?
(15:41):
Well, The first thing was notto give up. Then I started watching
speeches on YouTube by renowned speakers,observing how they did it. I used
these notes when I went on stage, and after two years my oratory skills
I've become fantastic I mean, I'mnot the best in the world, for
(16:03):
sure, but I feel so itease that everything flows when I'm speaking.
Have you listened to the episode MyStory there you can hear my story.
If it weren't for my story,my journal, my battles, I would
never have created this podcast or becomea better person. Could surgery help?
(16:27):
Of course, just the simple factof getting rid of the anxiety at that
time would have been a great achievement. But would I have discovered what was
behind in the anxiety? Would Ihave discovered what I didn't like about myself
and all the others imperfection I hadinside? Maybe yes, maybe no?
(16:49):
Who knows? I don't want to, Nor am I dismissing surgery because it
apparently lives. But now I askdid that person who was addicted to drugs
completely solve their problem the real reasonthey used drugs? I don't know.
(17:12):
Maybe yes, maybe no. AsI mentioned before, while surgery isn't available
for everyone, we will have toface our goliath. We will have to
be strong, courageous, resilient.We will cry a lot, we will
question a lot. Some people won'tbe able to take it. Others might
(17:36):
say that's life. And resign themselvesto the fact that there is no other
way. The advice I can giveyou is don't give up. No,
it's not easy. Would say,it would be easy, as all this
sacrifice been worth it, this fightwith my Goliath, it has very much.
(17:56):
I can say. So those peopleI mentioned who were born in nineteen
forties and immigrate to escape war andseek a better life, ask them if
it was worth it. Most ofthem will likely say yes, that it
was worth it, that they woulddo it all over again the same way.
(18:18):
And yes, I would say thesame stones. We will find many
on our path. The difference liesin what you do with them. I
keep picking them up and building mycastle, my taj Mahal. Just to
(18:40):
end on a small note, don'tforget that nothing happens by accident.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
