David:
[0:00] Well, today it's my pleasure to have with me George Cordoba. He is a cancer survivor, and he has had stage four melanoma with mastastis in the brain. And after fighting for about 10 years and 10 surgeries, he took a leap of faith and went to the natural holistic route to heal. And now he is on his 12th year of being cancer free. Because of that, he now serves others to bring hope that with God, you can move mountains that are right now seem immovable because God can do anything. George, welcome to Redeeming Business today.
George:
[0:31] Thank you. Thank you, David, for inviting me or for having me as a guest. It's always an honor to share with people that there's hope that they can heal.
David:
[0:41] Nice to have you on here. So, George, what is one way you believe that we can honor God in our business that others may not know about?
George:
[0:50] Well, that's a great question. One way is by example.
David:
[0:54] Doing things natural seems kind of cool. and it's like, oh, we can solve things this way and that way.
David:
[1:00] But it's like when life and death is on the line. So if I mess it up, I could die. How did you find the courage, I guess, to just reject all that, take a leap of faith and say, I'm just going to try something different? How did you do that or your thought process behind that?
George:
[1:16] It is not easy. So just so you know, in eight years, I shifted from being a CTO to health and wellness eight years ago, almost eight years ago. So in those eight years, only three of my clients have decided to go 100%, you know, natural. In other words, stop conventional treatments and go natural like I did. I did it at a year, almost year eight. So I was one of the, let's say the, you know, the one that had the faith that, you know, the chemo and all this stuff was going to, you know, heal me. But the fact is, and that's a great question. Faith was, I'm a person of faith and I did a lot of praying for discernment and stuff. But also, we have this powerful mind, and it has 12 rules. But one of the rules, which is what affects most of us in terms of running right away to an oncologist, is the mind goes to what is familiar. And for us in the Western societies, what is familiar is to run, get maybe somebody to recommend an oncologist, and you just go there. In your mind, there's no other option.
George:
[2:35] And so psychologically, you go and you say, well, you know, I hope that this guy or this lady would help me heal with what they're going to throw at me. All this chemotherapy and radiotherapy and immunotherapy and so forth. And so that's really our belief. So what I tell my clients when they sign up, for example, this new client, we discuss this. She asked me the same question you just asked me. How did you manage to do that? I just, I don't know. And I said, well, let's start working on this. You go parallel to your treatments and you yourself, you're going to start realizing that after two years, what you've been doing. Now, doing this, even though it's going to be in conjunction, you're not going to stop. I don't push anybody to do my, you know, the same thing I did. But what happens typically is that on month two, my protocol is three months, 90 days.
George:
[3:42] They really start, you know, wondering and saying, wow, you know, I, my doctor is saying that this is, I'm improving so much. And I know why. I know why, and the doctors only know one thing, is to give you what the pharmas told you to do in school, because they even design the curriculum for med school. So I'm not saying that I'm against that.
George:
[4:14] It works for some people. But I do have a questionnaire that I was in this Survivors Summit, and this guy just gave me this questionnaire to ask your ecologist when you first go there. And it is amazing. People are scared to ask the doctor, which, by the way, it's your employee. You decided to hire him to help you heal. But there are some questions that you should ask the doctor, not just like, oh, how much time I have? Do I have a chance? No, more direct questions.
David:
[4:49] So what are some good questions that we could ask to see if they could really help us?
George:
[4:55] Well, by the way, 50% of folks to go, nearly 50% of folks to go one, two, three, four years of chemotherapy don't make it. About 50%, 48% make it, but almost 100% of them have recurrences, and that's for a reason. But anyway, one of the questions is, doctor, is the medicine that you're going to give me? Can I talk to somebody that after using this medicine, it's alive five years later? Okay, that's one. Doctor, is it true that you have several options for your patients in chemo and that each of those have wholesale price and then you mark it up for the insurance companies or the client? That's a tough one, but that's a reality. You know, so asking that stuff, is there somebody with this one that I can contact that have been cancer-free for 10 years? And those are three of 10 questions. But that gives you an idea of stuff that you should ask your doctor, your oncologist. You know, even if me, myself, I was, you know, already, you know, in the leadership position.
George:
[6:22] But what happens is not only do we go to a doctor that is familiar to us in our mind. The other thing is that we give all our power to the doctor. And that is a great mistake. Right. Because now, all of a sudden, you depend on doctor's news. Oh, this happened, this happened. Oh, I cannot help you anymore. Go home and die. Or do something else. After four or five years of trying stuff, surgeries and stuff, they tell you, you know, we have no other answers. So I'm sorry. Go do something else. Go try something else. Yeah, four years later, now I'm broke. Nothing else is covered by insurance. And so you find yourself in a tough position. Yeah.
David:
[7:12] Those are good questions to ask because essentially you're saying, what are your track results? Did the things that you are recommending, is that working or not working? And so, yeah, that's those good questions.
David:
[7:24] You know, Benjamin Franklin said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And I know you talk about preventing a little bit. What are some things that we can do to help prevent disease or prevent cancer in our everyday life?
George:
[7:38] Yeah, that's a great question. And I know we have a short time, but yeah, the first thing that we need to understand that is that disease manifests in the body, but it doesn't start there. Obviously, it does in a way because everything starts in our gut, you know? So there are some typical things to prevent diseases. One of them, obviously, is having a healthy lifestyle. With that, I mean, to make it really, in a nutshell, our human cycle is 24 hours. The moon is 28 days. The sun is 365 plus, depending on the year. That's the cycle for them. But for us humans, it's 24 hours. In those 24 hours, within those 24 hours, we have time that we need to detox and restore, which is when we sleep.
George:
[8:34] So look how everything starts, and we're talking now all prevention, which is really what I'm an advocate now. When you hear that one or two men are going to have cancer in their lifetime and one or three women, that's scary. That is a pandemic. Forget COVID. This is really affecting a lot of people. So part of this answer is all disease, all disease, David, start in an inflamed body. And we do that to ourselves. We have too much acid, acidic. Everything is acidic. All our tissue become acidic. And that's with no exception why you get diabetes, you get heart disease, you get cancer, you get autoimmune situations, you get liver disease, colon disease. All chronic disease come starting at the inflamed body. So one of the ways from the physical body to prevent that is to make sure that we learn how to eat. Because as a nutritionist, I can tell you that 25% of digestion and nutrition is what you eat, but 75% is who you are when you're eating. Are you the average American person that chews six times and swallows?
George:
[9:57] So you send the stomach unprocessed foods, and you do that two or three times a day. Most likely, the average American chews only six times. So it's learning how to eat, to slow down and eat, enjoy your meal. So you chew enough, because digestion starts in your mouth. You chew enough times, not six times, depending on the food that you're eating. You might have to chew 30 times, which is great, because you can really enjoy it. But because you're in a hurry, because you've got to do errands before you go back to work or whatever it is, or you're stressed out in traffic, and then you go eat very fast in the fast food, that stuff accumulates with time, creating cortisol.
