Time Travel... It’s REAL. Special Halloween 2022 Episode

H.G Wells made Time Travel famous in his epic novel The Time Machine. Charlton Heston made us curious in the 1970's as he ventured to a futuristic planet where Apes roamed free in the movie Planet of the Apes. And Michael J fox made us believe that Deloreans are magical cars that travel through time in the movie Back to The Future. Is Time Travel Real?

In this episode, my special guest Chris Anatra, "The Quantum Businessman" joins me to talk about Time Machines and Time Travel both fact and fiction. We also talk about time travel experiments that the US government has conducted, splitting timelines, Mandela Effects, Tartaria, the Orphan Trains, and so much more.

Christopher Anatra is the CEO of a computer software company specializing in food distribution software. He began his journey into understanding what our reality is when in 2016 Mandela Effects, such as HAAS avocados changing to HASS avocados, began to become more and more obvious in his life. This led to his investigation into the Mandela Effect, our holographic reality, his spiritual awakening into the akashic records, timelines, light language and consciousness itself.

Changing Children’s Lives With Hypnosis, A Journey To The Center

Many psychiatric drugs commonly prescribed to adolescents are not approved for people under 18. And they are being prescribed in combinations that have not been studied for safety or for their long-term impact on the developing brain. Psychiatrists and other clinicians emphasize that psychiatric drugs, properly prescribed, can be vital in stabilizing adolescents and saving the lives of suicidal teens. Even though they are intended to be used as a 'short term' cure, many children end up being prescribed psychiatric medications for years suffering terrible side effects. So, what's the alternative?

On this episode of N&H Dr. Ran D. Anbar joins us to talk about his book Changing Children's Lives with Hypnosis A Journey To The Center and hypnotherapy has helped his pediatric patients. Ran D. Anbar, MD, FAAP, is board certified in both pediatric pulmonology and general pediatrics, offering hypnosis and counseling services at Center Point Medicine in La Jolla, California, and Syracuse, New York. Dr. Anbar is also a past President, fellow, and approved consultant of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

Dr. Anbar is a leader in clinical hypnosis, and his experiences with hypnosis since 1998 have allowed him to successfully treat over 7,000 children.

Mental Health, It’s Not Just A Business

Kyle Robertson, the entrepreneur who grew Cerebral Inc. into a $4.8 billion behemoth in online mental health and became a prominent face of the fast-growing industry has not only lost his job as CEO, but he's also being investigated by the Federal Government for his prescribing practices. Cerebral came in for heightened scrutiny after Bloomberg Businessweek reported in March that many of the nurse practitioners it employed said they feared the company was over-prescribing the addictive amphetamines used to treat attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Others raised concerns about the company’s aggressive advertising on social-media platforms, including TikTok.

In this episode of N&H special guest and TikTok star "That Psych NP" Laura joins us as we go down the Cerebral rabbit hole of corruption. We'll dissect why only nurses questioned whether the company was making ADHD medicines, such as Adderall, too easy to obtain and not the Medical Director and new CEO Dr. David Mou. Experts say such medication can be subject to abuse by those who don’t have the disorder. We'll also discuss how Kyle Roberts raised funds for his startup, who are Cerebral's investors, various insurance companies who partnered with Cerebral, patient complaints, and the ethics involved with mental health startups. This is a very riveting and eye opening episode you won't want to miss.
