From the ten- 3:19 Wow. From the ten- 3:19 Wow. From the ten- sensitivity test? 3:20 sensitivity test? 3:20 sensitivity test? Yeah, I thought I could... 3:21 Yeah, I thought I could... 3:21 Yeah, I thought I could... Listen, 3:22 Listen, 3:22 Listen, food sensitivity tests 3:23 food sensitivity tests 3:23 food sensitivity tests give false 3:24 give false 3:24 give false positives in 3:24 positives in 3:24 positives in severe inflammatory 3:25 severe inflammatory 3:25 severe inflammatory 3:26 bowel disease or 3:26 bowel disease or ulcerative colitis 3:27 ulcerative colitis 3:27 ulcerative colitis because you have "leaky 3:28 because you have "leaky 3:28 because you have "leaky gut." When there is a " 3:29 gut." When there is a " leaky gut" and 3:30 leaky gut" and 3:30 leaky gut" and poor digestion, 3:30 poor digestion, 3:30 poor digestion, undigested 3:31 undigested 3:31 undigested food particles 3:32 food particles 3:32 food particles enter the 3:32 enter the 3:33 enter the bloodstream, causing 3:34 bloodstream, causing 3:34 bloodstream, causing IgG sensitivity. So 3:35 IgG sensitivity. So 3:35 IgG sensitivity. So the test glows like a 3:36 the test glows like a 3:36 the test glows like a Christmas tree. This 3:37 Christmas tree. This 3:37 Christmas tree. This didn't mean 3:37 didn't mean 3:37 didn't mean he was allergic to these 3:38 he was allergic to these 3:38 he was allergic to these foods, he was 3:39 foods, he was 3:39 foods, he was sensitive because he had 3:40 sensitive because he had 3:40 sensitive because he had poor digestion and a " 3:41 poor digestion and a " leaky gut." 3:41 leaky gut." 3:41 leaky gut." It is best to do a 3:42 It is best to do a 3:42 It is best to do a food allergy test 3:43 food allergy test 3:43 food allergy test once you have completed the 3:44 once you have completed the 3:44 once you have completed the Shield program and 3:45 Shield program and 3:45 Shield program and have restored your gut. 3:45 have restored your gut. 3:46 have restored your gut. I bet if 3:46 I bet if 3:46 I bet if we were to test Bill 3:47 we were to test Bill 3:47 we were to test Bill now, the result would be 3:48 now, the result would be 3:48 now, the result would be significantly lower than 3:49 significantly lower than 3:49 significantly lower than those 150 products in 3:50 those 150 products in 1985. 3:50 1985. 3:50 1985.

Yes. 4:30 Yes. 4:30 Yes. And here's something else interesting: 4:31 And here's something else interesting: 4:31 And here's something else interesting: you were put on the 4:32 you were put on the 4:32 you were put on the drug "Imuran", and 4:33 drug "Imuran", and 4:33 drug "Imuran", and you reacted badly to it 4:34 you reacted badly to it 4:34 you reacted badly to it . What do you 4:35 . What do you 4:35 . What do you think the 4:36 think the 4:36 think the side effects were? This is not 4:38 side effects were? This is not 4:38 side effects were? This is not medical advice, 4:38 medical advice, 4:38 medical advice, just your opinion: what do 4:39 just your opinion: what do 4:39 just your opinion: what do you think 4:40 you think 4:40 you think happened when you 4:41 happened when you 4:41 happened when you took Imuran? 4:42 took Imuran? 4:42 took Imuran? We know why they 4:43 We know why they 4:43 We know why they gave me Imuran 4:44 gave me Imuran 4:44 gave me Imuran for Crohn's disease back then—because 4:45 for Crohn's disease back then—because 4:45 for Crohn's disease back then—because I didn't have a small 4:47 I didn't have a small 4:47 I didn't have a small intestine. So they 4:48 intestine. So they 4:48 intestine. So they tried to take it 4:49 tried to take it 4:51 very seriously. We 4:51 very seriously. We must prevent 4:52 must prevent 4:53 must prevent this. So it was 4:54 this. So it was Imuran that caused the 4:55 Imuran that caused the 4:55 Imuran that caused the brain tumor. And this is a 4:57 brain tumor. And this is a 4:57 brain tumor. And this is a very rare 4:58 very rare 4:58 very rare brain tumor. I haven't 4:59 brain tumor. I haven't 4:59 brain tumor. I haven't received any 5:00 received any 5:00 received any information about this in 5:01 information about this in 5:01 information about this in British Columbia 5:02 British Columbia .

So, your 5:13 brain tumor? So, your 5:13 brain tumor? So, your oncologist agreed. 5:14 oncologist agreed. 5:14 oncologist agreed. Why? Did the 5:15 Why? Did the 5:15 Why? Did the label state that 5:16 label state that Imuran 5:17 Imuran 5:17 Imuran can, in 5:18 can, in 5:18 can, in rare cases, 5:19 rare cases, 5:19 rare cases, cause this type of 5:20 cause this type of 5:20 cause this type of cancer or 5:20 cancer or 5:20 cancer or brain tumor as a side effect? 5:21 brain tumor as a side effect? 5:21 brain tumor as a side effect? I found out about it 5:22 I found out about it 5:22 I found out about it later. I was not 5:23 later. I was not 5:23 later. I was not told about this before 5:24 told about this before 5:24 told about this before I started treatment 5:25 I started treatment . 5:25 . 5:25 .

I want to give one piece of advice to 14:28 want to give one piece of advice to 14:28 want to give one piece of advice to all viewers, as a 14:29 all viewers, as a 14:29 all viewers, as a little life hack. 14:29 little life hack. 14:29 little life hack. First, if you're 14:30 First, if you're 14:30 First, if you're sick for a long time, you have 14:31 sick for a long time, you have 14:31 sick for a long time, you have these 14:32 these 14:32 these symptoms, and you're not 14:32 symptoms, and you're not 14:32 symptoms, and you're not getting any 14:33 getting any 14:33 getting any digestive support — that's a 14:34 digestive support — that's a problem. I think 14:35 problem. I think 14:35 problem. I think one of the things that 14:35 one of the things that 14:35 one of the things that helped Bill was 14:36 helped Bill was 14:36 helped Bill was using 14:37 using 14:37 using digestive 14:38 digestive 14:38 digestive enzyme support. The 14:38 enzyme support. The 14:38 enzyme support. The older you get, 14:39 older you get, 14:39 older you get, the lower your 14:40 the lower your 14:40 the lower your stomach acidity becomes, and 14:41 stomach acidity becomes, and 14:41 stomach acidity becomes, and the worse your 14:42 the worse your 14:42 the worse your pancreas usually works 14:42 pancreas usually works 14:43 pancreas usually works . Therefore, if you 14:44 . Therefore, if you 14:44 . Therefore, if you consume foods 14:44 consume foods 14:44 consume foods high in 14:45 high in 14:45 high in fat and protein, you 14:46 fat and protein, you 14:46 fat and protein, you need even more 14:47 need even more 14:47 need even more digestive support. 14:48 digestive support. 14:48 digestive support. So ensuring 14:49 So ensuring 14:49 So ensuring the bioavailability of food 14:50 the bioavailability of food 14:50 the bioavailability of food and improving its 14:51 and improving its 14:51 and improving its digestion helped to 14:52 digestion helped to 14:52 digestion helped to more easily reduce 14:53 more easily reduce 14:53 more easily reduce bloating and 14:53 bloating and 14:53 bloating and gas, which is a 14:54 gas, which is a 14:54 gas, which is a common sign of 14:55 common sign of 14:55 common sign of poor digestion 14:56 poor digestion 14:56 poor digestion in addition to 14:57 in addition to 14:57 in addition to 14:59 microbiome imbalance. So, 14:59 microbiome imbalance. So, Bill, you 14:59 Bill, you 14:59 Bill, you used 15:00 used 15:00 used Digestzyme, right? 15:01 Digestzyme, right? 15:01 Digestzyme, right?
