January 18th Is Just Around The Corner
Christmas is approaching fast, and January 18th will creep up on us very quickly. One of the most challenging concepts you will face is the path to excellence. DCME is the journey of being a once-in-a-lifetime doctor, moving towards your best and not just being good enough. It’s a win-win for your patients, your family, and humanity. Our society only welcomes it in certain circles, like professional sports or socially accepted activities from celebrities or entertainers, but not with healing. By the way, how do you find the best doctor? Do you believe the doctor's paid advertisement saying he was voted the best? Are you that naïve? How about reading on the internet about a self-proclaimed best doctor voted on by laypeople or seeing him on Angi’s list? Imagine people turning to Angi’s list and thinking this meme is accurate. It isn’t by any measurement. Are we speaking of a plumber or a doctor? Ask yourself: can you deliver consistent results that others can’t? Can you dip into the DCME dimension and move toward miraculous clinical results? This concept is ignored in our society for good reason: good gets in the way of being great. Life is sacred, and here’s your invitation to treat it as such. Call and reserve your spot today. Discounted tickets are available until January 6, 2025.
Christmas on the Reservation Recap
How can I put Christmas on the Reservation into words? All had many individual feelings and experiences. Here goes: Smiles, squeals, joy, and love abounded everywhere. “That’s exactly what I wanted” was a common theme. “How did Santa know?” A Nerf rocket launcher can be a deadly weapon. Michael, the 21-year-old with a mental and emotional handicap, was a hit and was part of the gang. Seeing him laugh was a demonstration of moving molecules without touching them. The kindness demonstrated by our group was inspirational. Time and time again, teachers and people on the streets would rush over and share their favorite Love Has No Color stories. We enjoyed a scrumptious meal at Whoa Nellie Deli, including that chicken and rice soup. The concert featuring Michael was a nice ending to our second day. Seeing Vernice’s face light up with the gift basket given to her by our group. We also gave one to Kenny’s wife, Alice, and the high school principal in Wolf Point. The principal smiled! We have lots of pictures that will be available to members to show their patients. Having a Love Has No Color wall in your office is always a win-win idea. I hear that Michael, in an action picture, is permanently on a wall in FL.
We saw Raymond White Tail Feather bless Michael, and his wisdom took our breath away. He also had much to say about a Miracle Training graduate and how now it’s his life to live. Nobody can do this for him. We heard words exuding wisdom from a 94-year-old; this type of exchange is nearly extinct. You won’t find them on a Google search. It was worth the trip for people awake (not woke) enough to ‘feel’ his words. He also spoke about all of the troubles on the Reservation. We learned that Kenny Smoker had asked his council numerous times over the decades. He is that source or rock when Kenny needs guidance. Who knew?
Our whole group could not meet with Kenny due to extenuating circumstances, but he said our group is extraordinary and that we should keep fighting the good fight. He said we come in and get sh#& done, no excuses. The effect on the children has been life-changing. In his entire life, he hadn’t been associated with a group like ours. When he speaks to you, he looks you right in the eye without being invasive and asks how you are doing. What a feeling. Seeing a man of honor and integrity is rare in our world of appearance and deception.
From the Mind of Miyagi
What does it take to be all in? What a question to ask anybody. It stops many in their tracks and is answered truthfully by the few. It is to play to win instead of playing not to lose. This is the difference between a life worth living and a life spent in quiet desperation. Coaches tell their sports teams they will compete; fire that guy because he doesn’t have what it takes. Compete is a socially accepted way of accepting losing, being mediocre, and being unwilling to do what it takes to produce results. When a new coach starts with a team, the biggest resistance to winning is the players who have accepted losing and created a losing culture. They are given a choice: change their ways and accept the new culture or, like a garden, they will be weeded.
In a world of drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation, competing is good enough because there is no cure, only remission. This is not hammering medicine; it’s penetrating the emotional smokescreen or wizard behind the curtain, the suit of armor that protects looking beneath the tip of the iceberg. Read the legal minimums of advertising propaganda; you will see it does what it says. It kills cells, both cancer and healthy cells. What you don’t know is you are buying time only. This is important, yes, but it’s not a resolution. It’s not healing. The surviving, resistant cancer cells return with a vengeance and will claim another victim. It’s so impressive to see the changes in blood work, like white blood cells and immune markers, and it’s devastating to see the plummet happen. The person feels a sense of betrayal after placing non-earned trust in a profit-driven profession to see to the needs of a critically sick person. It feels like a kick to your gut. People parading on the internet and TV, proud of their disease, influencing you to do what they do. This is so commonplace, and people don’t notice the adverse effects on your health.
Think of how a kid’s life like Michael's could have been improved if they were in your office. One of our long-time members spoke of a kid like Michael who started just like him. He graduated college with honors only because of his mom, who wouldn’t give up on him. Sure, it would, under most circumstances, take several years, and the results would be staggering. College, marriage, kids, and independent living are all within reach. When you compete, please do what you are told, and don’t question; he is merely collateral damage. Nobody bats an eyelash. Birth trauma is never considered. The people trusted to care for him had a hand in the actual impairment. Hmmmm.
Miracle Training
As you know, the attitude and world view of the person being cared for is as important, or more so, than your abilities. There are only two groups. You will see either a person armed and dangerous who will do whatever it takes to survive, or you will get an infant or adolescent who will want you to ‘change their diapers,’ rescue them, and do it for them. Think of an out-of-shape person who refuses to work out. Do you think you can do their work for them?
What I have noticed is that people who cite excuses of why they aren’t going to hire you are best left alone. Even though only the person being helped can answer the bell, the person who is paying has a pretty good idea of the quit factor of that person. They are not 100% accurate, but they usually have a pretty good idea. The sweet spot is a person who possesses the all-in personality but doesn’t have an opportunity to participate in saving their own life. Put me in coach and watch what I’m capable of. Just give me a chance!
DCME Confidential
Question 1: Sometimes, it seems like I am getting through to my DCME client, and other times, it looks like I’m back at square one. Am I imagining things?
Answer: There are so many factors involved. For example, as a parent, there are times when you are not dialed in with your kid. You’re tired, have economic woes or sick family members, or you’re fighting with your boss or spouse, so your attention and presence are not optimal. Your performance and results will be affected. The DCME is always difficult, but it’s more about you being at your best, regardless of how they are acting. That is where the art comes in, not data or more info.
Question 2: I have a potential 8-year-old autistic DCME kid, and the parents will not move forward. Why?
Answer: Perhaps you have never encountered this before. There is a hidden need in our society to be special or stand out, whether positive or negative. Going to specialists forever, getting no results, joining online affiliations, or getting a special diagnosis gives a perverted sense of belonging that is unconscious, tribal, and as addictive or seductive as cocaine.
