Welcome to Heal Yourself, Change Your Life. My name is Brandy Gillmore, and after recovering from my own life changing injury, it's become my mission to share with others the same discoveries I made. that changed my health and my entire life. Our minds are truly incredible. The placebo is proof of this.

Each week I will take this simple awareness to a whole new level. I will even coach live callers to free themselves of physical pain using only their mind. And then I'll provide you with a combination of practical and spiritual insights that you can use to master your mind and body. Your emotions and your energy to help you heal your health, yourself and your life.

Let's begin.

Hello, and welcome to this week's quick IQ episode where we talk about insights and questions. And today I want to talk about a very important topic that is going to be increasingly important as time goes and just It's something that you're going to want to pay attention to, especially if you got the vaccine.

And don't worry, it's not going to scare you at all. But instead, I want to tell you some important things that you'll want to know to help keep you safe and protect you and help your energy just elevate even more. As you move forward, and even if you didn't get the vaccine, there are also going to be some very powerful insights for you as well today.

And not only that, but things that you want to know for family and friends to make sure to always keep everybody's best interest and health and happiness in mind. And so that said, I want to start by saying that As we do dive into this topic about the vaccines, I want to be very careful that there is no negativity, there's no one triggered, there's no argument about it, there's no, you know, for the vaccine or against the vaccine or either of that.

This is completely neutral and not trying to take sides of either way, but instead to really look at what supports the vaccine. health and happiness and longevity and all of that. That is what is key. And also not talking a lot about COVID itself, but really talking about the vaccines. And by the way, I know that if you're like most people, you're probably tired of this whole topic and just ready for it to just move on.

And I know that's where I am too. I'm, you know, I'm just ready to move on past this whole C word conversation COVID. the vaccine and everything along with it. But before we do, there is one last topic that I really want to bring up that I feel like is very important moving forward. You know, when you stop and look at the vaccine, you know, it's been out for over a year now.

And again, And if you are somebody who has had the vaccine, I want to just reiterate, I am not trying to put you in fear at all, instead, quite the opposite. And so that said, I want to unfold today's episode just step by step and share some powerful insights that have to do with your mind and your energy.

and the vaccine, whether or not you got it and just some things that you can do forward to make sure to help protect yourself and your mind and your energy and your health and stay lifted. And so that said, this first part of the topic that I want to talk about Has to do with the nocebo, you know, I know on past episodes, we've talked about the placebo and maybe you've heard about the nocebo before or maybe you haven't, you know, on past episodes, we've talked about the topic of the placebo.

And of course, the placebo is where somebody can take a fake medication, you know, just a fake pill. And. they can have some of the positive results. So let's say they take a fake blood pressure pill that's really just a sugar pill or whatnot but they take that pill and then it can change their blood pressure because that has been something that has been suggested to their mind and there's a lot more to it but in short Basically, when somebody takes that fake pill, they can have positive results as though they were taking some type of medication or whatnot.

You know, they can see some type of positive physical results, you know. And by the way, of course, if you've heard my story, then you know that when I was on my healing journey and when doctors said that there was nothing that they could do for me, that's when I started looking at the placebo and I thought, wait a second here.

If research has shown. that the body can start healing just off of a fake pill, then that means that there is some type of healing mechanism in our mind that somehow has the ability to heal the physical body, you know, and so that's what sent me initially down this entire path of looking at the mind, you know, if you're familiar with my story, I share all of that because, you know, it led me down this entire journey, you know, I thought, Initially, that the placebo was all about the fact that somebody thinks that it's going to work, but that clearly was not the case.

You know, there's also the open label placebo where both the doctor and the patient both know that it's a fake pill and that still works too. And you know, I know we've talked about that on past episodes, but either way, very simply the placebo. is where a fake pill, when taken by somebody, can show positive results with their health.

Now, on the exact opposite end of that, the nocebo is the effect where when they take a fake pill and they're told it has some type of negative side effects. that they could experience negative side effects just from that fake pill. So in other words, for example, let's say they went ahead and took that fake pill and they were told that it could lead to an upset stomach and Then after they take this fake pill, they then end up with the upset stomach or whatever that is.

And so basically, very simply, the placebo is positive effects. The nocebo is negative effects. Now, I don't want to go down that whole rabbit hole as to why they work. Because, I would say that what I see happening when I'm paying attention to it is much different than most people realize. But, there's not really a need for us to go down that whole rabbit hole.

So, we're not going to do that because the main point is just the fact and the awareness is that it works. You know, this fake pill, the nocebo effect, can negatively impact your body. And if you build up a lot of negative beliefs about something, and so much so that there was a research study done where there was a person who was in the study.

who attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a bunch of these fake pills. And, even though these pills were fake, this individual ended up with dangerously low blood pressure and required injections and fluids and all this stuff just to be able to stabilize him. And, Further, then when he was told that these were just fake pills, that they were just sugar pills, immediately his symptoms went away.

Now, that's the impact that is possible with the nocebo, and of course it shows up in a variety of different ways, and my biggest suggestion is to make sure to keep your mind focused. In the positive and not fill it with all of the negative stuff about the vaccine and et cetera, et cetera. Because honestly, to date, every single person that I've worked with who has had some type of reaction to the vaccine.

has been an emotional link. You know, even if you think back to episode number 84, if you remember, there was this beautiful woman, Henriette, who had the vaccine and then had symptoms ongoing for several weeks. And then, Her and I ended up connecting and I helped her with them, and she was able to see that there was an emotional component to it.

And if you haven't listened to that episode and you do have the vaccine, then I would strongly recommend going back to listen to that episode again. It's episode number 84 and just a beautiful, beautiful being, great self awareness. And by the way, that episode was almost a year ago now. And since then.

She has not had any return of any of the symptoms. She's doing well. She's happy and healthy. And I have seen several others like her. You know, any time that I've had anybody who's come up with some type of physical issue with the vaccine, it has been due to the emotions surrounding it. Exactly like episode number 84, and of course, everybody's different, but even a lot of the emotions that have come up for people have been fear of going back into life and living fully, or fear of COVID, or even just not wanting to go back into day to day life, or In other cases, I've seen people where they were nesting together, you know, during the lockdown time and it felt so loving and sweet.

And then once everything changed and there was no longer the lockdown, that there was a sudden feeling of hurt more on one side than the other side. So maybe the woman was hurt and the guy was happy to be out and about, or vice versa, you know, just that feeling of nesting. Or. Even, you know, if you think about last week's volunteer episode where we had this beautiful 18 year old young woman, who's got all of this fear towards life and this anxiety, and that's a big thing too.

It's almost like, you know, a lot of younger generation even has experienced feelings like, you know, I don't know what's going to happen. And that I'm seeing that a lot as well. And by the way, there's an example of a very unfortunate situation that I actually saw in the news and you may have seen it, but it's this 12 year old girl who has gotten a lot of press for getting sick.

after taking the Pfizer vaccine. Now, if you've read the article, and I will actually go ahead and post a link to the article in the show notes, but what's interesting from the article is that the doctors actually diagnosed her, not with some type of reaction to the vaccine, but also they're seeing the same kind of thing that I am.

And like in this case, they said that the doctor said that what's impacting her. is all of her anxiety. And if I look at the specific article, it says, quote, The only diagnosis we've gotten for her is that it's conversion disorder or functional neurologic symptom disorder and they're blaming it on anxiety.

And the mom goes on to say, you know, ironically, her daughter did not have anxiety before the vaccine. And so, notice in this specific situation, her The doctors are saying that it isn't the vaccine that caused the problem, that it's It's all of this anxiety that came up, and unfortunately, this is exactly what I've seen in every other situation that I've worked with, with people who have had quote unquote reactions to the vaccine, is that there's some type of emotional shift that happens at the exact same time, so it feels like it's specifically related to the vaccine.

So I know that the doctors are seeing the very same thing that I've been seeing in every single person that I've worked with. And even watching this situation with this 12 year old is so unfortunate and sad. And you can tell, I mean, this mom is just, you know, She's beautiful and she just cares so much about her daughter and and you can see this mom's grief and You know and just care and and trying to make things right and I mean, it's just Heartbreaking and thank God, you know, there are not a lot of people at this point who are experiencing all of these effects but That's the reason that I really wanted to do this specific episode, is that, you know, this unfortunate situation, I want to make sure that everybody is becoming aware, because obviously if this mother knew That it really could be the emotions that were affecting her daughters.

Obviously, she would do something about it and that's something that we really want to make sure that everybody has this awareness. And while I have not worked personally with this 12 year old girl, I can tell you that again, just what the doctors are saying is the very thing. that I have unfortunately been seeing with other people that I've been working with, who I've worked with to help them to shift those emotional patterns, and it's then shifted their health.

So that is the exact thing that I am seeing, and the important thing you'll want to note I have to say, you know, that's exactly what I've seen in every other person that I've worked with. Is there some type of guilt or fear or anxiety or upset? And so while I have not worked with this 12 year old girl, what I can say is that that is the exact thing that I'm seeing.

And the important thing that you want to note is this, is that to date, I think there's somewhere around 11 billion doses of vaccines that have been given out, you know, 11 billion. That's because obviously some people have had two shots and people have had three shots. Some people have won. It just depends on who and what, and you know, all of that.

But the point that we want to make here is this, is that we just want to move past COVID, past the vaccine, all of these things, and just get back to living life fully and enjoying and all of that stuff. And I know a lot of people are already there, you know, where it's, COVID's long gone and all of that.

But what's happening is there's this undertow of conversation about all the vaccine this and the vaccine that and that is again part of the very reason for this episode is that likely chances are you're going to hear people who are saying negative things about the vaccine this and the vaccine that or whatever and chances are that you're probably going to be hearing that.

from years to come because there are, of course, so many people on the anti vax side and it became like this whole argument that there are a lot of people who would love nothing more than just To create the chaos around it, that to create the negativity, to be right, to continue the argument, to continue to just pour fuel on the fire.

And my biggest suggestion to you is to protect and don't fill your mind with all of that stuff because what will happen is this, is that if you're hearing all these things and you're starting to take them in as maybe it's true, then what can happen is you can start to feel even an ongoing fear in your nervous system where uncertainty and even fear or uncertainty can start to creating problems.

I mean, if you think about past episodes, I've worked with people who had pain or other ailments, all kinds of ailments that was connected to fear or feeling uncertain in life or whatnot, you know, having all that emotional chaos going on. And so that is the biggest thing that I just want to emphasize is that if you are somebody who did get the vaccine, then you are just going to want to Protect your brain and make sure to have a strong mind and stay in the positive and just focus on happiness and health and living a full life and that you're great and you're fine.

And if you are somebody who is an anti vaxxer, who's got a lot of angst and anger or wanting to be right or any of those things, my biggest suggestion to you would be If you do have family members who did get the vaccine to make sure not to put a bunch of this poison stuff in their mind because, again, the nocebo is very real.

It has been tested over and over and over in labs and if people really start to believe and build up that thought that there's something negative with the vaccine, then we're going to have a whole bunch of other problems. on our hands, especially because, again, there have been 11 billion shots given, and so the more negativity around this, just the more chances it has to create problems.

Now, another thing that I see with anti vaxxers, by the way, is A lot of people feeling isolated, feeling left out, feeling unloved, feeling like they can't do things with friends and family, or they can't travel, or they can't go to the restaurants, or the locations that they want, and all of that. And, I have actually seen people who have been getting sick every day.

for that very reason. They're feeling left out and revengeful and hateful. Um, and so if you are somebody in that situation, then my biggest suggestion would be to make sure to dissolve the negative emotions and find positive ways to be able to connect with others. And I know as soon as I say dissolve the negative emotions that some people will find that upsetting just in general, but remember that Everybody has a right to express what they believe in, and even if we look at, you know, Martin Luther King Jr.

was a great example of somebody who's doing that peacefully. And so, if you are somebody who's anti vax, and you're wanting to express your beliefs, in culture or changes in laws that have been created or whatnot, then of course that is your definite right to do so. But my biggest suggestion for your own health and happiness would be to make sure to do so from a very positive and empowered mindset and just to work towards what it is that you are wanting and not go into all of the negative.

So it is good for your happiness and your health and your energy and consciousness and all of that. So that is my biggest suggestion there. And I think that ultimately that we can all agree that we are so ready to be done and past this whole. COVID stuff and vaccine stuff and all of that and just move on to living life, feeling happy and healthy and feeling alive and, you know, living life to its fullest.

And so that said, whether you have the vaccine or you don't, or you're pro vaccine or not, either way, the goal from this episode is really all about respecting anybody's perspective, anybody's decision, and But again, being for health and happiness and moving in that direction, and I think we can all agree that we just want this thing to be done and over with completely.

No more talking about vaccines or COVID or any of that stuff, but this last piece just felt very important on how to move forward to make sure to keep that positive mindset and stay focused on the positive and not. And all of the chaos of, that's trying to be stirred up about vaccines and et cetera, et cetera, you know, making sure to steer clear of that.

And of course, also, if you are somebody who has not gotten the vaccine and has feeling left out and unloved and, and frustrated that, you know, on past episodes, we talk about the importance of love and the importance of connection and that you'll want to make sure to really. create that change, you know, all change starts from within.

So really be willing to let go of any frustration, be willing to let go of any upset or any anger, resentment, or feelings of feeling left out. And really just like we've been doing on every single past episode, you know, remembering That all change starts from within and really moving forward in a positive and loving and empowered way towards what it is that you're wanting in life.

All right. So that said, I'm going to ask you guys, please do make a point to share this episode. You know, if your friends and family have gotten the vaccine, then you'll want to make sure to share it with them from a place of love, whether or not You've gotten the vaccine, you know, just share it with them from a place of love and care and not trying to continue the argument of who's right and who's wrong, but rather that everybody is just healthy and happy because the reality of it is, is that the nocebo is a very real thing.

And for that reason, I'm also going to make sure to post the article from the Smithsonian on the nocebo. In the show notes as well. And so if you want to go check that out, or even the article from the 12 year old girl, I'm having my team make sure to leave those in the show notes. And on that note, please do make sure to have a wonderful day, you know, make sure to celebrate, to love life, to spread love and joy and happiness, and to just really love yourself.

Live today to its fullest. And so it has been such a pleasure connecting with you. And I have to say, this next episode coming up on the volunteer episode is definitely got a bit of a twist to it, but some insights that have really helped take you and your life and your health and happiness to the next level.

So I look forward to connecting with you there. I wish you an incredible rest of your day.
