015. Rethinking Cancer, Birth & Chronic Illness with Dr. Melissa Sell
About this episode
Many of us are taught we need to live with disease and simply pop a pill to manage symptoms—but what if there’s another way? In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Melissa Sell dives deep into the world of German New Medicine (GNM) and explains how it shifts the paradigm of health from the external to the internal world. We explore the profound impact that emotional and traumatic conflicts have on the body — ultimately leading to physical symptoms, chronic disease, and supposedly incurable illnesses like cancer.
Dr. Sell, a leading pioneer in the field of GNM, reflects on her own evolution from holistic health expert to GNM practitioner. We discuss how holistic health measures like clean eating and detoxifying the home often overlook the underlying cause of an issue — which lies beneath the surface in the subconscious, or even preconscious, mind. Dr. Sell sheds light on how our bodies adapt to conflict and how those adaptations manifest in pregnancy, birth, and childhood. You’ll discover that the root cause of illness goes much deeper than you may expect.
