Three people. Three very different starting points.

So, before we go on, I mean, I just want to say, I mean, I actually had a scan on Friday just gone and literally two minutes before I was waiting for you to come online, I got a phone call from my cardiac nurse and she's got some good news for me that I'm actually now for the first time since December out of severe heart failure and now in just normal heart failure. But I mean, it's a big step forward. And the only thing that's changed since having that is working with Russ. So that's good. Really, really happy with it. Today, that investment is worth five million pounds. Say hello to our hero, the hydrogen energy release optimizer. Limitless power, zero emissions.

And you will have heard like first five, 10 minutes or so, we'll talk about YouTube because there's certain things that we'll talk about you, but there's certain subjects we can't talk about on YouTube because YouTube's a bit sensitive. And YouTube doesn't want people to know the whole deal because the thing about medical issues, it's really important that people only ever get one side of the story. Do you want to say, you are a top, top athlete next to me, right? And you won championships and you've competed at that sort of level. Do you want to say a little bit about yourself and who you are and what you do? Hi, my name is Alan Elvin. I've lived an interesting life, left school, joined the army, worked in a gym, joined the prison service, went back to fitness work, always competed in some sort of sport from boxing, rugby, crossfit, ended up falling into Strongman at about the age of 32. And really, it found my calling in that, had a great coach behind me and got all the way up to the official Strongman Games World Championships in Florida last year. Right. Okay. So you're a proper Strongman? Yeah, I'm a Britain Strongest Man as well. And like, where are you at the British level or something? So I came third in Britain Strongest Man. Third Strongest Man in the UK. Wow. Okay. All right. Very good. I'm sorry. I need to clarify as well. That's an under 90 kilo body weight because I'm not very big. Okay. Now you would have been fourth had I competed just so you're clearer, right? I accept that. That's extraordinary. So, so now I found out about you through Russ and we'll talk about what happened with you and Russ. And I did a video interview with Russ, who's a former critical career nurse and now offers health counseling and health coaching to people, especially people who have been hurt by a particular medical intervention that everybody was talking about a few months ago, right? It was all the rage, right? Now, just talking about being a Strongman, what do you have to do to be a Strongman and to be placed third? So, I, um, it takes sacrifices, but it's not, I have a family, a wife and two young children and my wife also trains a lot and she was just one of the things that brought us together. She, while I was training at such a level, she actually sacrificed her own training so I could train more because I work a full-time job. No, no, no, I think this is for love, isn't it? I would train four times a week. Like I said, I mean, the best move I ever made as an athlete was, uh, employing a coach, change a man at MST systems. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. He was not only a coach and a friend and he's what brought me up to the level that I was at, his expertise. But to win the competition, what, what, what did you have to do, you know, to, what event wise? Yeah. So, uh, sure. So you have, as it is normally an overhead implement, so we have an axle bar, two inch axle bar, a log, a 13 inch log diameter up, up to 130 kilos for registrations in a minute. So for American viewers, on a very quick calculation, that's 280 pounds roughly. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. So you'd be picking it up off the floor, up to your chest and over the head and that'd be one rep and you'd do as many as you can at world with a Viking press, which you've probably seen on a TV, if you've watched World's Strongest Man, that was 160 kilos in hand. And that was, that was pretty hard pushing. Okay. And, and you're, and you're under 90 kilos. So you're under 90 kilos. Yeah. Several times your weight. Yeah. Right. Several times as well. Right. Okay. Well, I, I, I manage, I exercise with a 16 kilo dumbbell kettlebell. Okay. That'll do for me. Okay. And I weigh a little bit. We have 48. We have 48 kilo kettlebell. Oh my God. Oh my God. A single arm. Oh, a single arm. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I, I, the 16 kilos being my little finger, you know, and while I'm asleep as well. That's extraordinary. The under 90, the under 90 kilo scene is rife at the moment. I mean, the, the world record, that lift is like 380 kilos under 90 kilo body weight. And if you do the, do the maths towards the 500 kilos that the world record is, but he was 200 kilos when he lifted that. Wow. So if you do, if you do the 90 kilo man doing 308, 380, that's a lot more impressive. That's extraordinary. That's really, really extraordinary. Okay. So then I assume from that, you're in really, really good shape. One is you don't look like you're 32 and stuff, right? You know, you probably worked in the prison service when you were 14, I expect, right? Just from the, at least I'm 39 now, actually, I'm 39. Okay. Well, well, you know, your body may be all wrinkled and old and everything, right? But at least when they look at your face, you look young and youthful, you're looking good for it. But I assume being a strong man, you could have been great in great shape. You're going to be really, really healthy to me. Yeah. It's progressed a lot in the last 10 or so years from the, the, the, the, the, the, the big fat strong men used to see on the telly, they, they are athletes, they're athletes now. Yeah. So in the case of pick up something and then you're done, it's good to have to be an athlete. So you have to be athletically strong. Yeah. And then it's not just muscles, it's not the whole body, the heart has to be strong, your lungs, your coordination, your balance, the thinking, right? As well. Cause it is mind over matter as I struggle with my 16 kilo dumbbell, right? And then, and then also diet and sleep and then having a supportive environment. So you can do all this, right? Well, that's pretty, pretty extraordinary. So you, I could say, I assert you're one of the, I don't know, maybe in the top 0.1 percent, healthiest people in the UK. I don't know about that, but maybe I wouldn't know, it's a, maybe when you're a top athlete who's competed at an international level, there aren't many people, you know, I'm, I'm pretty healthy for my age. I'm 144, but you're even healthier than me. I would say, you know, as measured by that. Okay. And then something happened to you during the whole COVID lockdown vaccine rollout, which we're going to talk about. And it had a negative impact on your health. And I think in a way, you haven't said this to me because we've never really spoken before, before today, a surprising, surprising negative impact, which we're going to talk about and things are turning as well, which we'll also talk about. But for people who are watching on YouTube, you're going to have to come over to Odyssey to find out what happened because YouTube isn't going to like what we're about to say. And if you're watching an Odyssey, this is it. Okay. All right. So Alan, do you want to say, say what happened? Okay. So I've been, I'm quite short, I'm about five foot nothing. And I was, I usually, between competitions, I go a little bit heavier than I am because then I'd like to be bigger to get stronger and cut down a few weeks before. So my BMI, the BMI, which everyone likes to live off of, which doesn't make sense, says that I'm morbidly obese when I was at the time. What was it? What was it at? I don't know. I remember every time I got on him, they're like, oh, now I'm like, come on, look at me and look at you. Yes. What happens for athletes? I'm wider than I am tall. Yeah. Muscle bound athletes, they show up morbidly and obese. Yeah. I remember hearing something about the English World Cup winning rugby team and I said every single player on there was morbidly obese. So what does that say for the BMI scale? Oh my God. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, so I was one of the, I got the offer, the vaccine when the 70 year olds were first rolled out. So quite very early on, the first vaccine I had for that reason, I mean, because I worked with a slightly older group of gentlemen and I'm the youngest there. And yeah, I was the first one to have it because they obviously, they, they got, they were targeting the obese, obese people with medical problems first. And that's fine. I mean, I just assumed that this is really early on with COVID and I was worried about it. I was worried about it. So I did what I was told. And plus I needed to work. You were worried about COVID? I was worried about COVID. I was worried about COVID. It was very fresh. I was thinking, I said, I've got a young family, last thing because I work in and out of London as well. And so if I was going to get it, I want to be prepared for it from what I was told from the mainstream media. So I thought I'd happily took my, happily took my vaccine, so did my wife, but we won't let the kids have them, but not now, but so moving on, so I had my, had my booster and that was fine. And we moved on to last year and I qualified for the World Strongman, Champion Gypsy, the OSG. And, but you had to go to America for that. And you had to be up to date with your COVID passport to be allowed into America, which means I'd have to have a booster, which I, by that point, I didn't want to have. Because I'd lost faith in it by then, I think, which is what a lot of people do. You start to sort of see through the cracks. And so I went to America, was absolutely fine, had a great competition, qualified in the top half of the, got 20th out of 40, I think. So I was really happy my first trip to Worlds. Come back and I had another competition at the end of December. So I got back mid-November and I had another competition mid-December. And I started to feel, a couple of weeks later, I just started to feel not right, a bit ill. And I don't ever get ill. And but over December, because it was the first Christmas, everyone was back together again. Everyone was seen to be getting chest infections and colds. So I thought, I've just got a chest infection, I'm a big boy, I can, I'll go through it. And the events are very similar from training purposes. So I knew I was already conditioned for them, they were lighter than the Worlds competitions were. So all I had to do was get there and just keep moving and I'll be fine. But it got to a point where I was struggling to breathe. It wasn't breathing, it was breathing in. I felt like I was trying to breathe in intrigue, almost like I was at altitude. And it was getting worse and worse. So I started to fit my work, because it was colder and I was at work and I was just having to take a sit down. I was having a fit and healthy guy, I could work all day on my feet and then do free air training sessions at night. And I was getting out of the van, picking up a couple of slings and I was on my ass. And I was thinking, this just doesn't feel right in my head. I think I knew in the back of my head something wasn't right. But I just thought, no. And so I said to my wife, I said, I'm going to do the competition. I said, but what I do is because it was in Weymouth. So I said, and we arranged to go down there. So I said, no, we've already paid for a competition, I paid for the competition. So I'm going to go down there. I'll warm up, see how I feel. If I'm not great, I'll cancel it and we'll come home. But I said, I don't want to sort of just not going into tomorrow morning feel like I should have been. So I got down there, we went out the night before and I felt all right. But still, still breathing, sleeping was terrible with it. And I was borned up on the day and the first event was an overhead event, which is probably the best event I could have happened for me. I won the first event, but I was struggling, like breathing. My strength didn't take it at all. So I was really strong. But by the end of it, it was taking me 10, 15 minutes to try and get to get my breath back after every event. And as the day went on, it was getting worse. So one of the events, I can't even remember. I was, I'd have mustered that less oxygen in me. I cannot remember one of the events. The only thing I remember is the world's strongest woman under 63 kilos, Rhianna Lovelace, she was commentating. And the only thing I can remember was her shouting at me on the mic. But I was just, I was doing the event, but I can't remember lifting any of it. Can't remember lifting any of the things. I did quite well actually. So I was quite over that. But I finished mid-table, but I was awful, absolutely awful. And this was the week before Christmas. Now, by this point, on the drive home, I was thinking, I need to get this into this something, something is not right here. I can't go on like this. And I thought, and we, so we had Monday and Tuesday work, and then we were off. That took after Christmas. So on Monday and Tuesday, I was in a hell of a state working in London. Through lifting some pumps for, for grumpfoss. And, um, and I was just, I just felt awful. I was just sat down and like, I do those jobs because they needed the physicality and I couldn't, I couldn't offer it. Right. So, um, I said to my wife, I said, I'm going to go and book in. With the, with the GP on Wednesday, as I'm not at work. I said, otherwise I'm going to get the ill or over Christmas. I'd rather try and get this into. So I went and I seen the GP and my GP is really good. You're walking, you can almost get an appointment as long as you're happy to wait. So, um, I walked in and I said, and she goes, okay, sounds like a chest infection. She didn't tell you, she goes, I'm concerned about the breathing though. But she gave me, she said, I'm going to give you some antibiotics. She says, go away for a week, come back after the week. If the breathing is still bad, we'll investigate further because I am concerned about it. So it's okay. No worries. Went away for Christmas. Um, felt better in myself. So obviously the, the infection, whatever it was, the antibiotics cleared up. But by this point, I've had it for five weeks. And, um, but the breathing was horrendous. It was getting worse. So I went back and I, I rang up my work and said, look, I said, I'm not coming in. When we go back to work, I'm going to the doctors again. He said, yep, no worries. They're very supportive. And I went in and she, she done it and she done my blood pressure, nothing. And she's like, we're going to give you blood pressure, a blood test, an ECG, a chest X-ray, and the chest X-ray was four weeks down the line. And I was like, great. Um, but the blood test was on the same day and the ECG was on, so I went on the Monday and the ECG was on the Thursday. I had the ECG in the morning and I came home and, um, because I'd been signed off for the week, I was, I was actually helping my wife move around the living room and move around the furniture in the living room. Cause we were going to decorate and I got off and I was, and I was having a break, one of my many breaks at that point because I was breathing was so bad. And, um, I was having a break and I got a phone call from the GP saying, what are you doing right now? And I was like, sit on my, sit on the sofa because I can't breathe. She says, good, uh, there's any chance you can come up to the surgery. It's only, it's only up the road. Uh, any chance you can cut the surgery, the doctor really need to see you about your, uh, about your scan. And I remember my mom saying to me once, if they call you back on the same day or we're asking you to come in straight away, it's never good news. And so I was like, no, my poor wife has then gone into hysterics. I said, no, no, it'd be fine. It'd be fine. So I walked up there and as I got up there to doctor, brilliant as he was, he was, he was like, right, he goes, your ECG is showing your resting heart rate. It's 188 beats per minute. 188. Oh, we've got worse. And, um, so, uh, what was it before, before I rest in heart rates about 68 normally. Right. Which is within the normal range. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Fine. And, um, and, uh, my blood pressure is always on, he's always in a good range as well on the, on the high end of good, but it's always, it's always fine. I always take it again with the coaching. He's always healthy. It's one of the main things with what we do. And, um, so I've, he said, I used to give me this letter and he said, you need to go to A and E now. And it was when the ambulance strikes on, he goes, I would call you an ambulance, but you'll never get one. He said, so he goes, if you, if you can get yourself to A and E, he goes, take a bag because you're going to be staying in. Oh God. I was like, I've got to go home and tell my wife this. So, and I'm going to tell you this, I haven't told many people this. So, uh, I went home and it was, but it was like late afternoon and the kids had just got home and I was thinking, I am not going to go across all the way through rush hour of traffic through Colchester. So it's then sitting the massive two day waiting queue for the, um, A and E. So I had a plan in my head. So I got home and I said to my wife, this is what's happened. It's what it said, but I've got a plan. I said, I'm going to go on and wake up and hop us forward to my morning. And I want to go into my morning at which point we had a conversation and I went to the hospital five minutes later. How are you? Wasn't that good? Do you know, I can hear my wife as well. It's exactly, um, yeah. So she, uh, yeah. She was like, I'm not having you dying in bed next to me. I'll see you later then. That's, that's how I went, um, I went to A and E and there was literally a queueing out the door and I was like, this is not going to be good. But I showed him a letter and again, when they move quickly. Like, you know, literally I was just cut straight through and they put me straight. People would give me the deaf stairs because they were watching me come through. And I've gone into the CCG and the nurse was absolutely lovely. Really nice. And she was like, I'm finished after this. Last thing I'm doing today. And she's put me up, wired me up. She looked up and suddenly her face dropped and she's in the scene. She was like, have you, you got any chest pains? And I was like, no, do you feel it? I said, yeah, feel fine. I was there to, again, I was in brilliant shape at the time because I completed the week before. So I was immediately feeling really good, well rested. And she was like, right, don't move. Do not move in that chair back in a minute. So she's opened the door. I've seen her cross the hallway is recess. So it's like five meters away when she's come back in with a wheelchair and have a nurse and she's going to get on here. We're going to take you to recess. And I was like, that's all right. I walk and she goes, you won't. She was your resting heart rate is 205 now. Oh my God. Yeah. She says your resting heart is 205. You could drop down and have a stroke or heart attack at any second. And I was at that point, I realized I was in trouble. Um, I proceeded to, so they took me into recess and I can't really remember it. How it happened so quickly. I remember just loads of people being on me, but again, I felt okay. I felt okay. The breathing was bad, but the breathing has been bad for nearly two months by this point. So I was used to it. So, I know throwing drugs into me to try and to force the heart rate to slow down. They're trying to massage in because it was like you need it because you need to get this heart rate down because you're just, you're going to have a stroke. You know, God, you know, we're working so hard. And I was saying to her, I said, I feel really bad for taking up so many people's time when it in me says, I see all these people research it. And the woman said, you're the sickest person in here at the moment. I was like, that's, that's, you know, what I'm thinking is like, had you not been as healthy as you were to start off with, you know, a mere mortal like myself wouldn't have made it as far as you did. So I, um, it was funny. You should say that because I, I mean, it went on all night. And then I ended up putting me in a ward, the heart, the heart specialist ward. I know everyone was, I think the youngest person by me was 80 years old. And it was, it was horrendous for me because I mean, I didn't feel like I needed to, but I should be there. And I, it was, it was a sad place to be on because there's a lot of, a lot of death going on and stuff because this, this is what those wards are, isn't it? And, um, the consultant come out to see me and she was like, oh, have you been like not been able to do anything? And I said, no, I was competing in a strong international strongman competition, uh, two weeks ago. She was like, is that bodybuilding? And I said, no, so I got my phone out and I showed her the events of like doing the 250 kilo deadlift for 10 reps or wherever it was. And, uh, she was like, how much is that way? She goes, and you had these symptoms. And I said, yeah, it was worse than just, you should be dead. There's this, you just, you just, you should be dead. She was, you should not survive that day doing that, doing that with these conditions. She said, and then what she said, she says, Testament, how strong your heart is that you, that you didn't give up that day. Well, I think when, on that day, when I was competing, I knew something was wrong. Yeah, I mean, I knew, I knew it wasn't just ill. I think in the back of my mind, I'm just too stubborn. But, but I think also, I know for myself, when I'm not well, it's like, I don't want to acknowledge it. You know, if, if I just ignore it, it'll go away. You know, I don't want to ignore it. Oh, I was having a joke with my wife saying like, it's man flu. It's the real man flu. Just trying to push through it. It's a strong man flu. Exactly. But I think, I think it's a, it almost, um, identifies a problem with the world, doesn't it? Like you, you, you're encouraged to, to man up. Matt, the phrase man up, man up. And actually, if I would have gone to the doctors when I first started feeling ill, I wouldn't have been in this problem. The fact that when I first went, it had been five or six weeks of this, this viral infection that had got me, had been dancing a jig on my heart without being sent to, I was thinking, I'll be all right, I'll be all right, I'll be all right. And it was just, it was absolutely crucifying me. Right. Okay. Okay. So, so then what, how, when did you leave hospital? How were you when you left? I spent 12 days in hospital, um, with not really much information coming out of it, because they, they couldn't tell me what, they couldn't tell me. They, they was like, we know it's been a viral infection. We don't know what's caused it. And it's said to this day, they can still say, they still don't know what has caused this problem. They're very clever about saying what they're not saying anything. Um, I said to you, before we started recording, and I'll repeat it again. I've got 41 firsthand contacts and I don't include you, Alan, right? No disrespect, but people I already knew before the whole COVID episode, 41 firsthand contacts that have been hurt by these injections. Three of them, their doctors told them it was the injections. One of them was very dear friend of mine. She's actually recorded a video with her on this. She was a, she's a senior nurse and one dose and she got myocarditis and a GP told her it's the injections. So that's pretty much what I've had. I've had myocarditis and it's, yeah, it's, uh, they, they, they, they realize that even my console, my, my consultant, she's like, we still don't know what's caused it. So we know what the problem is. We don't know what's caused it. So it's like, it's hard to move when they can't see what they don't got anything to fix. Did you say it's long gone? The end of us, it's got a de-infection. Yeah. Did you say to them or ask them, could it have been the injections? Yeah. And it's like, oh, did you say that? And what did they say? Like Georgia, they don't say anything. Do they, they've been, I've been, they've been conditioned to not say anything. Right. Pleading the fifth, let's sort of speak. I'm not wanting to acknowledge how many people they have hurt by administering these injections and that they then individually are culpable. Plus also, if I think, you know, people become doctors and nurses in order to do good to people. Yeah. And then if I were a doctor, how would I square come to terms with that? I have harmed so many people by, because I bought the lie that these were safe and effective and I didn't question. I didn't say anything. I just administered them. So how do I square that with myself? Okay. So then you come out of hospital after 12 days and nobody said to it was the injections and then what happens and what do you do? How do you feel? I then got put under the local heart failure team, heart failure nursing team, a lovely, absolutely lovely lady called Cicely, who's worked tirelessly to help me because she says like, you're an anomaly. She says, we don't have people with your problem at your age because you shouldn't have this problem. And then so she's working really hard with me. They've medicated me and I didn't take well to a lot of the medication to drop my blood pressure normally sits in the healthy range, right at the top of the healthy range. And some of the tablets they gave me, I collapsed a few times because my blood pressure just dropped through the floor and I'm not used to having low blood pressure. I've never had low blood pressure. So it collapsed me, it ruined me and I was feeling absolutely horrendous a lot of the time. So it took a long time for them to get the medication source right for me, which I mean, I understand is what happens. And, but there's no, I mean, my main goal has been to get back to work because I mean, what we're in mid July now, I've not been at work since December because I can't, they won't let me go back to work until I'm safe. Wow. Okay. No, I'm trying every day and I need to get back to work. I need to get back to work. And she was like, she was like, I'm not used to seeing people trying to get back to work so hard. Yeah, you got a job to do and children to provide exactly occupy your time instead of sitting around scratching your ass, right? Yeah. So we, we, um, we got to a point where, so it was three months later, I had another echocardiogram, um, and there was some improvement. I'd met Russ by this point. I've been with Russ about maybe six weeks, maybe a bit less, but then it improved and I'll say, but almost instantly from, from, from speaking to Russ and starting to implement anything slowly, because I'm, I'm a typical person where if you tell me, don't press the red button, I will press that red button. So if you tell me to do this, I'm like, no, why should I do that? I said to him, he suggested things and I sort of weekly added them and sort of drip fed them into my life and it's worked a lot easier for me. It's just the way I am. Stubborn, stubborn old mule. Right. Um, but then, so we then see, yeah. So it had gone up to, I think it was like, it was really low. I can't remember my numbers on my, on my initial heart scan, but it went up quite considerably, a big, big jump. And then they were like, oh yeah, it's brilliant. And then I said to the nurse, I said, yeah, but I've been not, it's not just the medication. I said, I've been implementing this. I've been trying to eat healthier. I've been taking cold showers, which I did not like, but I did them and I was, and I got eight minutes in a cold shower because again, but, but, because it's the competitive side of me. So I started in 30 seconds, minute, two minutes, three minutes. I've got my, my four year old daughter does them with me. And when she gets out and she locks me in, and you need to do it, daddy. It's good for your heart. She locks me in there, but she, she, she, she does it. So I doesn't do it on my own and she's lovely. But, um, so I'm doing all these things and I feel, I do feel good. I mean, I'm losing circulation in my fingers when I'm doing it. But I mean, I, for a little bit, and, um, that's renaissance of her that's renaissance of my mother, I think, but, um, then they put me onto a, um, eight week cardio rehab program. And the problem, I mean, they, they, they even said to me, they said, you've got to jump through the loops to keep going with the, with the treatment. They said, you, there's no point in you going through this, but the, the, the plan was to possibly fit me with a device, a sort of, sort of defib pacemaker-ish type device. So I could come off some of the medication because I'm fully aware that whereas I'm stable now, I'm taking eight tablets today. Right. So there's only one thing that comes to that in 20 years time. And I'm going to have kidney failure. Yeah. And it doesn't take a professor to tell you what happens if we've got heart failure and kidney failure combined. Yeah. And it's not something I'm willing to do because I'm then going to be looking over my shoulder of what's going to be coming. And I know what's coming. So it's something I want to, I want to get off the medication. Me and must have a conversation. He said, well, what's your goal? And cause I said, look, I mean, the competition side of it, I haven't actually, it hasn't affected me as much as I thought it would. I don't care. It was a hobby. I mean, it doesn't get me wrong. I gave everything I had to it, but I've got the best two children and a loving wife. I want to see those kids grow up on a live, a fruitful life. And that's the only thing that I was, I've been, the only thing that's ever worried me has not been able to see my kids grow up. When I was in that hospital on that first night and they said about having a stroke, I was in, I was literally behind the curtains, crying my eyes out because I suddenly thought, what if I have a stroke tonight? Cause I'm sitting there watching that hot man. And they got it down from 205 and they got it down to 190 and it was going between 190 and 188 all night. And the alarm was blaring because it was just too high. And, um, and I'm just sitting there thinking if I have a stroke now and could not communicate with my children, I wouldn't know what to do. I said, I'm thinking, do I, well, I can write, do video messages for 18 birthdays and weddings now, just in case. And I was crying. I'm not, I'm not ashamed to say it. I was crying my eyes out. Absolutely streaming. I don't know if you asked my wife, the last time I was watching trying in a chocolate factory where my premature son was born. But, uh, but before that, I can't remember. And, um, but literally, and, and, and it's the, the, the, the one thing that is, I'm, I'm, I'm scared at this point, I'm scared and I don't get scared. And I was absolutely petrified of no, and not, not just knowing, knowing what it would do to them, knowing what it would do to my family, knowing that the daddy is not well, this person who's been the big, the strong pillar in their lives is now not, and to be immobile or something. I just, I don't know how I would live with it. And I, and I just, to see the, the, the fear and pain in their eyes would absolutely cripple me. Yeah. And I didn't see them for a couple of days. And when I saw them and my little boys, he's eight now, he was seven. My little girl was just four. And so she didn't really, she knew that daddy was sick, but she didn't know, didn't require a stand. He's a clever kid and he, uh, he knew that it was wrong and he struggled. He struggled so much for him a long time. Even his teacher said at school, he's struggling with that. I bet it's very, very upsetting. Okay. Now, when did you, when did you make the connection or when was it made for you between the injections and your, your myocarditis? So I, I initially thought that it was maybe a supplement I'd taken or, or, or maybe even I got ill in Florida. So I asked the questions, I went, no, it's not that. And they did the blood tests and they said, no, your blood tests will show us everything we need to know, insinuating things. And, um, and they come back and there was nothing there. And, um, so, and then I don't know, like, but we don't know what's caused it. We don't know what's caused it. It was, and then suddenly he just clicked. So it was just sitting to me. This is before of us. So I've got a couple of friends who I'd always laughed at because I used to call him the, uh, tin foil hat man. But actually I made myself a tin foil hat since. You asked them if they got a spare tin foil hat. Yeah. So where did you get that from? Did you get it on Amazon? And, um, yeah, everything's conspiracy. But, yeah, he mentioned it. So, you know, Alan, I don't have a tin foil hat. Mine is made of titanium. Okay. Now, but yes, and, and, and that's what ignited it. And I mean, so I'm just getting on with my life. And that's when I met Russ. Just, it was, I don't know if Russ told you how we met. So it was my, my son does jujitsu in a chum shirt. And his daughter does jujitsu in chum shirt on a Tuesday night. And literally he's down there and just sat down and this tall, hippy looking fellow. There's a, someone just sat next to me and he went, hello, I'm Russell. Hello Russell. And we just, then we just started chatting about random stuff and he said, oh, you look like you're training us. Oh, not anymore. I'm not very well. He goes, he asked, what's up? And I told him, and he was like, and he was literally like the, the, the planets had aligned like, cause obviously what he was trying to build up doing and his background and then from there we just spoke. And we, we, we sort of, we speak and I sort of, he said, he's helped me out if he could and he said, just listen to me. Just listen to me. And he's talking me about the diet and stuff. Oh, so we've only got 45 minutes to talk to them. We're there. So he took a number and we spoke on the phone. And we just, it sort of grew from there. And every Tuesday we sit down and we have a chat now and he's such a nice guy. He's supported me to help me a lot mentally knowing that like it was him in it. And I said, well, do you think it could have been that? And then he, it was quite, it was quite clever how he did it because he didn't initiate the talk of the COVID. So it's like, you almost didn't want to, well, I'm not going to say it if you haven't fought it, but he obviously already fought it, but he waited for me to initiate it before we went into it. He was like, right, he's out of your way. I think let's talk about this. Right, right. And just for people who don't know Russ Mayer and I'll have a link to his website, which being well.me, he's a fully qualified experienced, critical care nurse. He used to train critical care nurses. And now what he does is he consults and coaches and councils people to recover, to restore their health, to be in great health, but also to recover from all sorts of vaccine injuries, including the COVID injection injuries from the COVID injection. Now, so you made the association then, but how do you know it wasn't long COVID? If I'm honest, I never really believed in long COVID anyway. So, I mean, it didn't, and I'd run, I knew only one person who I knew who ever said that she'd had it. And it wasn't the same as that because mine was too symptomatic. Right. It was, she used hers was more like a bout of depression and it would just come and deco for one week. And then she'd be fairly okay. And then she didn't, she'd be missing again for a week where she'd just be on the last one. Mine was constant, every breath, night, night times were horrendous. And it was, it's weird because, um, if you look at the, uh, symptoms of heart failure, because when I left hospital, they gave me this booklet and it says, the symptoms of heart failure. I looked at the first three and I was like, that literally was wrong with me. That's, um, you know, and, and, and people of your age and your state of health, they don't just get, they don't just out of the blue, right? Cause it'd be different if you were diabetic, if you smoked, were morbidly, properly obese, not just because of a flawed, that's what they said. That's what they said. They're like, it's not, it's nothing that you die. Cause I said to it, is it, is it, is it a trick? Could it be in the training where I pushed it too hard? I'm not lifted to a point where my nose was bled before and my eyes have gone blood shot and, uh, torn, torn, uh, snap tendons and everything. So I thought maybe you just done it too much and your heart said, I've had enough. And he said, no, your heart, they're like, your heart is strong. It's probably the only reason you're alive. So, well, here's what I've learned. So one of Russ's told me, remember, he's a qualified medical practitioner who's told me that long COVID, COVID doesn't cause myocarditis. It doesn't, right? Plus also Dr Pat Morrissey, he's a, uh, a GP in Ireland who in his practice never gave anyone the COVID injections. What he did, if people wanted them, he talked to them about the pros and the cons. And mostly as far as I can tell, nobody talked to people about the cons. Like if you have this injection, there's no long-term safety data. It's never been used in human beings before. You know, we don't know what's going to happen. Would you like to have this? Right? So, so nobody said yes to him. Uh, instead he treated people with ivermectin and other things, right? They're safe and effective. He's told me that. Co, long COVID doesn't cause myocarditis. And then the other thing is that the doctors that you saw, I'm sure if it had been COVID, long COVID that had caused this, they would have said so. Yeah, I think they would have done. It gives them a cover. And now what's happening. I don't know if you know, Alan, but, um, the rate of excess deaths in Britain are much higher now than they were during the height of the so-called pandemic. More people are dying now than they were then. And that's the same in every single country where they had these injections rolling out and people. The other thing why I think it's not long COVID, because who was most susceptible to COVID were people with, um, like the elderly people who were fairly breathing difficulties and already had existing conditions. People who were morbidly obese. Those are the ones who were susceptible to COVID. So they're the ones who are going to get long COVID. Children, young people, teenagers, athletes like yourself, don't catch COVID. They're not going to get long COVID. They're going to recover because your immune system is in good shape. You're able to fight it off. But now, I mean, one of the things for me that I find heartbreaking, and I was reading about this as the injection was rolling out. Teenagers dying in their sleep. When does that happen? When teenagers, kids dying in the classroom suddenly, what kills kids and teenagers are accidents, you know, a car crash or falling off your bicycle or something like that, right? Or a long-term illness. Some poor kids got leukemia. That'll kill them. They don't die suddenly in their sleep. And then what I noticed is how much this is being ignored. You know, by the mainstream media, they were all over. Oh my God, oh my God, everybody's going to die from COVID. You better get, you get a bit stabbed and jabbed and injected with this medical concoction, right? Now more people are dying and they say nothing, crickets. So, I think you're upset by what I'm saying. I'm upset by what I'm saying. It is upsetting. What's going on? It's the reality of what it is that's true. You've hit an L on the head, haven't you? Yeah, yeah. And I said to you, I think before we start recording, and I've said in previous videos, I have 41 firsthand contacts that have been hurt by these injections. One person died. Three of them have been told it's their GP. And every now and then, you know, I come across somebody who I knew before lockdown and stuff, and they say, oh, I had the injections and I'm now suffering with this. And then some of them are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't know what caused it. Oh, it's probably long COVID or something. Oh, unwilling to even countenance or admit like, geez, I fell for it. I really messed up. I believed them. Yeah. Yeah. No, what's it like for you and in your industry? Do your colleagues, you know, the other athletes know how are they doing? I am. You know, about me or in general, about the things that I have not made a massive deal of it. I mean, I've told people nearly to me. I'm not like I'm not one of those Facebook posts and announce official retirement. I've started to really think I just sort of went out the back door slowly and just sort of I got off a couple of phone calls over the last couple of months, because England's strongest man was about four weeks ago. And that's the guy who run it was like, why have you not signed up? Why are you not doing the qualifiers? I was like, he's a friend of mine. I've known him for a while now. And I was like, well, here's how it is. And he was like, oh my God, but it is what you done. I said, I am done. And he was like, well, what if you recover? And I said, well, I think even if I were to recover now, I would never do it again. Never do a strong man again. But that's a different story. Um, but yeah, I mean, people are, yeah, a lot of the strong man community, a lot of my friends, um, they, oh, anti-vaccine to it, they wouldn't, they wouldn't have done it. And yeah, they didn't do that through the jabs. Why? Because, because they're obviously more clever than us. They didn't trust them. They saw it early. They, they believed it. There was a lot of talk about it, a lot of anger when the gyms closed. So they were sort of rebelling against that. I'm having, I'm not having a job because you want to go to the gym? Well, good for them. Since so much of it didn't make sense, right? All the things that you and I know to help us be healthy, they were off limits, like exercising, fresh air, sunlight, having a good social life. Yeah, I know. Um, the idea, it was, I have to admit, the first six weeks, I, I, I was afraid and I bought into the whole lockdown thing and I was wearing a mask. And then after about six weeks, I was thinking, why am I just believing what governments and big pharma are saying? Why don't you sleep? So then, and then I started questioning and looking into it. And I was like, so I'm not wearing a mask. I'm not wearing a mask. I'm not social distancing. If you want a social distance and I meet you, I'll respect. Yeah, silly notion about it. Fine. But I'd meet up with my friends and family that weren't social distancing. Yeah, hugs all around because hugs are good for health. It's good for the system. And, and also the other thing that was kind of crazy because I told you my parents were homie paths and I'm interested in health is as someone who is healthy. I stopped transmission. Supposing you've got an infection. I meet up with you. The, the infection comes over to me, but my immune system is strong. So that's it. I kill it off. It doesn't go any further. I'm a barrier. I'm a fire. But there was none of that. Absolutely none of that. Okay. Um, now with Russ and I, and to be put, and I said this to you before we started recording in for people watching, I'm out to support Russ and the work that he does. You know, I, I want people to be healthy and well. I do child protection, social work, not because of the massive, I get incredible pay and the fabulous people I get to meet. Right. No, I just want to make, just want to make a difference to people. And, uh, from talking to Russ and from talking to people who've been hurt by these injections, I want to make Russ's work available, but also for, for generally, without going into the specifics and you've mentioned a little bit, cold showers and diet and stuff. What else has he recommended that's made a difference without giving away any of this trade secrets? We, um, so obviously I mentioned before that I did the cardio rehab and it was very much like, I, again, I mean, I, I've been a fitness, I've been in the fitness industry a long, long time, but I'm not, I'm never a person to sort of be like, I know better than you. So I would always entertain an idea. And I said it to the physio when I went in there and, um, I said, I just need to know the parameters I can work to. And I can quite happily train myself through this. And then I said to Russ and they sort of, they sort of, they, again, they were a little bit like, oh, uh, oh, didn't want to give me an answer. So I spoke to Russ and I said, how hard can I push? He was like, the way you are, you won't be able to push too hard. So he said, just, just, he goes, and he explained to me. And I said to him, I said, well, I was messing around with the dog, messing around with the kids. If I get up too quickly and try and move quick, I'll go down. And he explained to me, which hadn't been explained to me before. There was actually, it wasn't, that's not my heart. That's my medication. Medication is stopping my heart, accelerating quickly. So you're trying to move, but the heart isn't even moving that quick yet. Because it's held right back. So you go, so if you want to move quick, you need to build it up so gradually. And with that, I mean, I've actually, I've done it the last time I did it anyway, but I did a five kilometer row on the rowing machine a few weeks ago. And it was a pretty good time. Five kilometers to keep in the 500 meters under two and a half minutes. Wow. And it was, I can do six, six meters. Yeah. And it was another, but the thing is, it was, if I would have gotten it normally, I would have been off it two minutes later because I would, but the first almost 700 meters, I'm just gradually building up. And they said, you just got to get your heart up to speed. But he's, he's been held back by the medication. Once it's up to speed, you'll be surprised what you can do. And it's true. And it's, it's helped me, his knowledge on that is it helped me implement that into my life. So I find, I used to find this, if I got to a hill and I was on the phone, I was in trouble because talking and walking. So I had to slow my pace down and I'm all right. But by the time I get to it, I'm pretty much striding up the top of the hill. But you just got to just accelerate slowly. He's, he's just, he's just been an absolute war for me. I mean, I've got some, anything, every appointment, every appointment I've ever had, he's always messaged me and he's like, what have they said? And he will break down everything that I've been told into something I understand. So he will tell you instead of, I'm terrible. He'd be like, what numbers there sound like? I can't remember. I can't remember. What did I say? Sorry about this. Did I say this? Maybe. Because I get in there and I'm almost like a deer in headlights. They're talking, they're throwing all these words to me. And I mean, I've got a letter saying that they wanted to put me on a heart transplant list at one point. And I was like, and it literally, I felt like I've been dropped out of a third story building. And I didn't know what to do. And the only person I talked to, and I didn't want to tell my, I wanted to cry because I was thinking, well, I thought I was getting better. What's his heart transplant talk? So I was talking to Ross and Ross and it's the best time I've seen him almost get angry. He was like, you don't need a heart transplant. He goes, you're getting better. And it was really, it was nice to see that he was so confident. And I was like, do you know what? If I've got more reasons to trust him than I have these people give me these tablets, trying to throw these tablets down my throat, because they're not, they're not making me feel better. They're making me feel awful. And that's what he says. He goes, the reason you feel bad isn't because of your AF and the myocarditis. He goes, it's because you're taking all these tablets. He's a messing with you. Right. Okay. And then he's the one who has supported you through his advice and coaching and he's an experienced, quite critical person. You are, you were in critical condition. So with dietary advice, how to exercise, how to, I don't know, what other stuff, any supplements and things that he's recommended. And that you're now in a position as you said at the beginning of the video, where your heart is out of the critical range. Yes. I'm no longer in severe heart failure. Um, and I literally, I found out just before we got on the, on the call. I had a scan on Friday and she's done this, but I think it's over 35 and I'm on 38 now. So that's good. I think it was down below 20 when I was in hospital and then the first scan was 27, then it was last one was, it was under 34. So it's gone up to over 30, about 38 now. Wow. Okay. And what's likely fingers crossed is that it will continue in the same direction as you can with Russia's protocol. And, and I suppose in a way, what you're doing is what we'd all should be, all should be doing is taking care of ourselves. Yeah. Exercise is to get off the medication. The goal is to get off the medication. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's the other thing because he's working with the medication. He's not like, Oh, no, no, don't have that. No, you need that right now. Let's win you off slowly. Whereas the doctors, the allopathic doctors will be like, no, you're going to take this forever because that's, that's what scares me. That's what scares me because the four, I said it to the nurse. And again, she is brilliant and she agrees. I said, if you, I said, if this stand puts me where I'm at now and it is good news, I said, does that mean you're going to let me free and sort of not worry about me so much and then off you go. Cause then all I'm going to be thinking of every single morning when I wake up, is this the day my kidneys are going to fail? Is this the day my kidneys are going to fail? My heart is stable. My kidneys are taking an absolute killing. Yeah. I just want to ask you, I learned about vitamin D. Have you heard your levels checked? Your vitamin D? I have done previously. I got some blood done before, um, before we went to hospital, but mine, I live outdoors. So it's worth getting them checked. Mine, by the way, I'm very proud to say I had mine tested a couple of days ago, a couple of months ago. I take supplements for it as well to make. I've got too much of anything. My 300 nanomoles per milliliter, which is more than four times what the NHS recommends. My doctor was really surprised. All from sunshine in England, believe it or not. And I probably don't, I probably, I don't, uh, I don't ever burn, but it takes me longer to make vitamin D than it would you with your fair skin. He said, my wife's Scottish, Scottish skin, right? She'll make in 20 minutes, what I'll make it takes me two hours. Okay. Now, one of the things for me, one of my concerns is how we were manipulated and propagandised and, um, made afraid. Just Tony Ben, political hero of mine, he said, if you want to control the population, there's two, two ways of doing it. Make people afraid and demoralize them. And COVID did both. We were afraid to go out and we were afraid to meet with our friends and family, which was demoralizing, afraid to go to work, which is demoralizing. And now what I see is the same people who lied to us, who exaggerated the risk of COVID, who diminished the fears of the injection, the dangers of the injection, those same liars who said they were doing it for our own good, are doing the same thing with climate change. Oh my God, the sun's out. We're all going to die. We're all going to die. Oh my God, oh my God, we're all going to die. Oh my God, the earth, the earth is going to boil. We're all going to die unless, unless, unless you stop breathing out carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is going to kill you. Now, you may not be as political as I am. You may not have looked into it to the depth that I had, right? I suppose one of the things I, I'm from Pakistan and, you know, got a rich tradition of distrusting the British ruling class. I wonder what it's. Well, you mean the British government acting for my benefit? No, that's not been my experience, right? But anything you want to say about that, any parallels that you see from your layperson's expert, layperson, someone who's not particularly political? Not really. I mean, I just, I just think it's, I like to say, when you mentioned about the being controlled in a population, I mean, it's, it's forcing, it's almost made people accept what's going on with the inflation at the moment, isn't it? They're like, well, everything's fine. No one's, no one's saying, hold on. Well, is it, in my opinion, it's all going up to pay for the fake COVID. The fake COVID, plus also, plus also, we have to spend our money on killing people in Eastern Europe. That's more important than spending money on looking after people here, on solving homelessness or mental health or the rates of domestic abuse and child abuse that's gone through the roof. No, and nobody talks about the environmental damage of sending arms across the world and dropping them on people. Apparently that doesn't do anything for emissions. That's okay. Fuck's sake, fucking hypocrites. That was one of the things for me about COVID, the hypocrisy. That gave it away, because if this really was like the bubonic plague, they wouldn't have been doing it. Things they wouldn't have been having those parties because they would have caught ill, they would have brought it back to their families. They knew it was a lie, right? And the same thing about climate change. Bill Gates would not be flying about in his private jet. If it really was dangerous. Okay, Alan, is there anything you want to say before we finish up? Any message you want to give to people in general or? No, I mean, but I mean, if only if the anyone is affected in a way, getting in contact with Russ, I mean, if you're not sure, speak to Russ. I mean, he has literally transformed. I was so depressed when I met him because I suddenly had had my complete sporting career taken away from me, which was still probably, I'm never going to get that back. I'm never going to get it back. Even if they told me now that actually your heart's fine, you can get back to doing it, never once in my year in any of my training. I was a power tripper in the army. I mean, never, never when I was beasted in absolutely running the London marathon with Bergen on my back, never once that I thought, what am I doing now? It's the first thing that will pop into my mind now. So even if I was classed as fully fit, go and compete, I wouldn't be able to push it that hard for those three points that I said earlier, my two kids and my wife, because they are the more important thing. But don't be asked for help if you are. There's people out there like Russ. I mean, I've never met anyone or seen anyone doing what Russ does. So you might have to go to Russ. He's a crazy hippie, but he's brilliant. What he does, yeah, he is a great one. I hadn't thought of that before, but OK, I will now consider him a crazy hippie. But he is the loveliest man. He's a lovely hippie who makes it. He cares. Yes. He cares. And he's on your side. And that's what he means. He's not just like you're going to pay for a service. He wants to help you. He's like, he's throwing everything at you. He's like, you're giving me too much help here. That's what it's almost like sometimes. And you feel guilty that he's spending so much time with you. But he just wants you to he wants to spread the awareness and he wants you to be better. He genuinely cares. He's actually been calling me when we've been on our phone because I send him a message about the test results. So I think he's probably got a bottle of champagne open. That is so fabulous. That is so fabulous. Alan, thank you so much. Really, really appreciate you taking the time to give me and give my regards to your children and also to your wife. And God bless her and God bless loving wives everywhere. Thank you very much. All right, everybody, if you have any comments or questions, put them in the description below. If you know anyone who's been hurt by these injections or you yourself tragically have been hurt by these injections, if you know anyone who has a commitment to being in optimal health and do check out beingwell.me and watch my video with Russ. I'll link to that in the description below in between now and when I see you next, please keep fitting your pockets with good health. This is a healthy Alan and healthy Rich, signing up all the best. Bye bye. .

Hey Danny, so thanks for joining me this evening. Do I just share with you who you are, what you do and how I helped you? So hi Russ, nice to chat mate, nice to see you. Yeah, so I'm Danny. I am a scaffolder with a very demanding job physically. So it does require good health to be able to perform at your best in that sort of trade. And I've been a scaffolder for 18 years and I'd say a good 15 years of that was probably struggling with a bit of ill health. Not too bad but you know like eating the wrong stuff and obviously that pays off in the wrong way. So I was eating anything I'd just got my hands on at any time of the day. No thought about it at all. Since I was probably 14, I started suffering with acid reflux quite severely every day. And that went on for probably four or five years of just sort of eating renies, drinking milk, just trying to soothe it any way I sort of could. And it wasn't really working so I went to the doctors and the doctors prescribed me Lanzoprazole to be taken once a day for the rest of my life. That's what he said, that's what he advised me and he didn't sit right with me. I said surely there's some because I'm not clued up but I understand that diet is quite key in a lot of things you know and I said to him about the diet and he was just like no he was like you can eat whatever you want as long as you take these tablets. And this is the doctor telling me this you know so you sort of have faith in him didn't you. So I cracked on for another few years, I went traveling to Australia, still battling with it and it's in my job I'm bending down quite a lot and lifting heavy things and it was just, the acid starts working up and it's horrible to deal with through the night and everything so you're not getting the right sleep. Obviously then I'm tired and it's just dragging me down you know and this went on for years so I was on and off the tablets because I'll take them for a little while and yeah the symptoms went away but it's just masking it so then I'd come off the tablets for a few months battling with the acid again just not knowing where to go with it you know and this went on for a long time and then yeah then I started getting into some sort of men's groups and men's circles and this is when I stumbled across yourself for us we met oh it's been over a year now hasn't it 18 months 18 months coming up two years then wow the time is going fast look look time's going fast but yeah in the last 18 months notice big changes taking some of that from yourself and probably the first the main thing for me is being conscious of obviously what you're eating when you're eating it so I'm up every day at about 4am by 5am I used to be ramming you know like double cheeseburgers or the McDonald's stuff you know all that crap down you know and not good it was just making it worse but now I have been advised by myself to shorten the the window of eating to six hours so I had my last meal at 6pm in the evening and then I won't eat until 12 the next day and it's if some days it feels hard to do but it's getting a lot easier and to be honest it's becoming life now and it's all about for me is what you're going on at the start you know so I like to wake up in the morning like you advise I have a nice pint of warm water with lemon and salt and that really kick starts my everything I can just feel it going through me you know I'm waking everything up and everything it's just my insides are thanking me basically that's what it feels like and then yeah that's all I have in the morning and then I'll start with a bit of fruit a couple of pears and then yeah and then the day goes on from there really but another big thing for me because it was getting me down you know and you don't realize how much your gut health affects your mental health and that's been a big change you know I feel mentally strong as well as physically strong and I just feel better I feel much better and I really want to thank you for that amazing thank you brother so we have no more dyspepsia that's the gastrointestinal no more heart failure no obviously every now and then I might go to me dad's for a bit of dinner and he's not really on the same page but you're not going to turn it down are you so yeah you've got to you've got to live a little bit I suppose haven't you you've got to live a little bit absolutely yeah and um uh we're off the chilies and the peppers yes I was going to say that I do I do use the cayenne pepper I use the cayenne I was using it a little bit more but um I need to restock on someone as he goes but I find that really good as well I was doing that in the mornings with some apple cider vinegar cayenne pepper a little bit of salt it was tough at first but um yeah I got right into that and that is good stuff I gave you the lemon zest sorry you said that again I gave you the lemon zest drink yes I'll send them over again yeah yeah yeah three pours of water half a lemon unwaxed chop it up yep with the peel about a teaspoon of cinnamon I use about half the teaspoon to a third third to half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper yep apple cider vinegar with the mother shot a couple of three a couple or three um tablespoons yep three or four drops of stevia so it just goes smooth as in like there's no lumps yep and yeah well it would do a lot of things including putting more lead in your pencil I'm sure you don't need that but it would definitely help but basically basically it's full of enzymes so north of 21 full of enzymes we're just born with them mother gives them to us from the oven so north 21 we just do that hence kids grow so quickly 21 we kind of unless we're getting it from our food raw food etc then um it's really tough so that drink is full of enzymes gives us more energy it also a fantastic aperitif so it prepares our guts but when we're going to have something to drink you've got your apple cider vinegar in there you've got your cayenne pepper you've got your cinnamon you've got your lemon you've got water you've got your stevia you can even add your shot of olive oil in there do that you're drinking three meals a day have it three times before every meal and you're nailing it you're nailing it yeah yeah I've been eating a lot of olives as well actually and maybe you advise me about the olives and I it's the skin I feel like the skin is just cleared up completely you know and I really know it's a benefit from the olives definitely yeah they're great and I think also like just um as we've been trying to do grow our own you know like and actually knowing where the food's coming from putting the love into the food good soil you know because where I'm actually growing my vegetables is some of the best soil in the area it's years and years of rich manure getting laid over the soil and now I'm putting some love into the land as well and it's all just it's all just working out you know so I'm looking forward to next season being more equipped with more knowledge and knowing now what to actually grow because you can chuck things in the ground but they might not actually be helping you you know as you've advised FODMAPS and stuff like that and the lectins and so yeah there's a lot there's a lot to learn there's a lot to know but I feel like I've learned so much in the last 18 months and I've got three children which I want to keep healthy and strong so they're gonna benefit from this you know so yeah so um eating the right food eating that at the right times is very important so all right I see you look as good as I do he says so uh but you do other stuff so like new cold water exposed yes I do every day yeah every day cold water exposed and that's been going on for about two years now I used to be 15 stone and I noticed that like an unhealthy 15 stone I'd say and uh the cold water's really helped me strip that away I've it must be that and with a diet as well but just the energy that it gives me you know and and also the mood that it puts me in I could go in that shower in a crappy mood and come out a brand new man and that alone's enough you know so yeah the cold water exposure um saunas saunas most days real good I'm getting a little better in the saunas now I'm up to nearly 20 minutes I was only sitting in there for sort of five or ten minutes before and I'd get a little bit of a headache but I've been putting half a teaspoon of salt Celtic sea salt in my water whilst I'm in the sauna and it's uh that's helped me a lot no headaches or anything like that absolutely I come out a little bit come out a little bit red but I think that's all part of it oh absolutely right absolutely right mate so you know and the exercise tell me about the exercise that you're doing I mean you exercise before I make you so that's not the change but what are you doing what do you focus on yeah so I don't lift heavy weights or anything like that I do lift some weights but I try to stick to more body weighty stuff and just stick to a bit of a routine of it you know I I used to have a little bit of a fear in the gym because you sort of like what do I do what do I do you're looking around at everyone's in really good shape and they all seem to know what they're doing and stuff and it it puts your off going into them spaces a little bit but now focused heads down I'm in there and it's just a great place to be as well because everyone in there is trying to do better they're trying to do well and it's a good vibe you know and yeah the training is now a big part of my life and people say well with your job you shouldn't need to be doing that sort of stuff but you get used to your work your body gets used to what it's doing every day doesn't it so it's good to shock it a little bit you know put it in them uncomfortable situations you know like getting up early having a cold shower drinking stuff that don't taste that great but you know it's doing you're good it's all these things and yeah it's all just it's all just working out I'm 33 years old I've got three children I've got a whole lifetime ahead of me and I want to live it in comfort and I want to live it feeling healthy you know so this is what's happening and you my brother he's what's helped that happen you know so people are having a big appreciation to that and I couldn't recommend you enough to all I always do I'm always telling people that are dealing with these issues with their gut or their heart or just not really knowing where to go with anything because let's face it the doctors are only reading off a sheet they may join they may start that career wanting to help people but then they're reading off something that they've been told that someone else has been told that it's probably not there's some legs in it but nine times out of ten they're just willing to sign you up to the big farmer they're not they don't even ask you how much water you drink in a day you know like dehydration is a major thing isn't it but every time I go to the doctors they just want to send me away with tablets or antibiotics so I've given up on that a little bit and fair enough if I broke my arm I'll be straight down there but when it comes to healing your gut and healing your mind and just being generally healthy you need more people like you in the world that's generally trying to help and has generally got the right information that's going to really help you thank you so much for that and I already appreciate you as you know may I may I um ask you if you're happy to just go a little bit more into the psychological aspects you were feeling and now you're clearer yeah so as a man I think you want to feel strong you want to feel healthy you know like so with when I was dealing with the your gut health it was it was bringing me down as well like the little bit of depression was kicking in anxiety and I was going around it probably went on this has been on and off I'm at the back I'm at I'm out of it now because I'm feeling good and I'm feeling strong I've got some solid good people around me with good information but I was I was in a bit of a crap place you know like didn't know where to go and worse and worse and drinking a bit of alcohol as well knowing it wasn't no good and it was just layering up and I didn't know where to go with it so yeah getting the information from you and then putting it into practice and feeling the benefits I just feel great I feel happy you know like my my kids have got a new dad around them that's that's going to be here for a long time you know I'm going to be here for a long time and I'm going to be healthy for a long time yeah yeah but um it's a shame that there's not like I said a minute ago enough people like you out there with the information because so many people are dealing with all this and it is it's tough you know it's tough not knowing not knowing how to even tap into your own body and understand what's really going on your side so yeah so it's it's been a journey but um and it's still been a big journey because you've got to you've got to keep this going right everything's changing all the time and it's just about listening and knowing and uh yeah the information's there for us now so I'm excited while you're on new goals so you've got rid of the old Danny because that was shit what are the new Danny goals new Danny girls well yeah it's a hard one because I've still got this very demanding job which is obviously paying good money but it's not so much my passion so now my mind's clearing and I'm I'm focused I can actually start thinking on doing stuff that satisfies my soul a little bit you know like working with the land working in communities helping other people and actually turning my problems into my strengths so I'd like to do what you're doing and also help people with their problems in the future I'd like to I'd like to I mean I suppose we get into this a little bit obviously my oldest is dealing with some autoimmune problems which I now feel a lot more confident about tackling with the information that you're providing because I've lost the faith in the NHS with that kind of stuff you know so my goal is to pass the knowledge on to my children and help them grow into strong men as well and women because I've got a little girl so yeah that's my main goal to make sure that my family are healthy and they understand how to look after themselves yeah cool amazing amazing Danny what do you want to do shall we shall we pause it here

Tthree two one off we go boom okay so I'm here with Jeff Harrington to talk about his coaching experience with Russ so Jeff would you like to share with me how Russ has positively impacted how working with Russ has positively impacted your your life all right okay well that's uh you certainly made quite a difference let's put it like that uh especially with my health because that's the the main impact yeah and this started some um two and a half three years ago yeah when I was well no longer than that actually when I first came in contact with Russ and we became acquainted and had he was in the medical field at that time uh obviously you express different things that go on with yourself and he started to give me advice on various things so that's uh that's how it started the uh and obviously specific things I can go through yeah but okay so that's the beginning shall we say awesome okay so um what in what specifics of health concerns were you being given advice on um do you mind elaborating no I don't mind I was uh diagnosed with prostate cancers um in 2014 so that's nearly 10 years ago uh and he advised me to take uh one particular um on particular pill uh that would help so okay I did that um I'm very skeptical of pills and like things but uh as my life was involved I thought uh well no harm it's only a few bob as they we say so uh why not ever go and uh so that's what that's where it started really so and I'm still taking those pills today and so far my prostate cancer has uh not matured it's still under what they call observation in that that means do nothing just carry on so that's uh I see that as uh life saving that's how I see it whether it is or not I can't confirm but the fact is it's 900 years ago and I'm still here so I quite like that actually yeah I'd call that some very valuable and precious wisdom right yeah that was my uh that's sort of the major sin shall we say that has influenced me and not completely because it could be just coincidence it could be just uh well I don't know what it could be but uh it doesn't necessarily mean it was rust in that pill but uh I tend to look at it that it is yeah there's other things of course um I've had uh I had um seizures in my legs muscle seizures in my legs through doing too much work doing too much work for my age that's what I was told and he advised me to do certain massaging and that sort of thing uh and what uh routines to take and that's gone away that's gone away uh so that's another situation then I've had uh I've got problems with the current problems with myself is I have a heart problems when you say it's a problem uh it's inconsistency of heartbeat it vary at the rate varies so one minute it might be uh well there's little spikes you know I might have two beats short closer together and then wider apart apparently that's not too serious I also have a quite a low heart rate beats per minute so he's advised me what to do with that and we're in the process of seeking medical help from the hospital through that but he's advised me with diet mainly all these things um what else is it uh just my general health go to the gym I wasn't what I've I must have never been to the gym before and but I obviously kept myself very fit through when I was younger playing football and other sports and as I've got older and retired doing physical work building works and he's advised me to uh go to the gym and do swimming and pilates which I've done for the last two years and I've got to say it's made a difference so I wouldn't have done those two things without Russ and I've allowed him I don't think he likes this word but I've allowed him to manipulate my diet and I've got to say I feel very well yeah and all that is done is I can see the sense in it and so far my health is very good well I feel very good I've got the normal things that comes along with age but I feel good let's put it like that well I think that's that's the important thing isn't it is how you feel right um and only only you will know yeah I've missed off the big one oh yeah and two and a half years ago they told me I've got to have both my hips replaced yeah specifically first my left one which was more advanced than the other one and I was limping around really severely limping and it was hurting me and sometimes quite painful and I was having a job getting in and out of my car yeah so walking at times or going down a road I needed to be on crutches I needed to almost be in a wheelchair because it was so painful so I haven't said that to anybody else but I'm trying to describe how it affected me it was really painful for me to walk and get from A to D not all the time it seemed to come and go a bit that's nearly all the time I was in quite severe pain yeah getting out of the car going upstairs that was whenever I put my left foot down to load it slightly really hurt really hurt so I was all loading was going on to my right foot so that impacted my life considerably I couldn't work much at all which I like doing I just couldn't load it in any way before it was really hurting so he obviously told him about it and he told me what to do with my diet and obviously going to the gym and pilates and I've got that slats just over two years ago now and I've done that regularly and I've got to say at this point in time I can walk around it's like 90% cure it's not cured but it's 90% of the pain is gone I can feel it still but it doesn't hurt you know like you have a little ache in your muscle you can still walk around and do things like it I can feel the little ache it doesn't stop me doing anything I'm working digging me ditches I can do that where I could even stand up down a ditch you know in and out of my car no problem up and down the stairs no problem and it seems to be gradually getting better and better and better that's incredible that's truly Russ's counsel and his type because at the beginning he said he said if you follow if you follow what I tell you I said there's a good chance you never promised me that it would there's a good chance that you won't have to have the operations at all and he said and you and you will feel better and he said so I don't want the operations because that impact is another problem I had I still have I'm very susceptible to blood clots on the lungs after a earlier up ahead thank you thank you for those doctors I did their best no doubt but it left me very susceptible to that and according to Russ anaesthetic is very dangerous for me so there's another reason to keep away from hip operations so I've done that followed mostly what he says he thinks it's mostly I hide some things from him but I've got to say I'm physically really good at the moment and I seem to be improving and for a man of my age most of my mates are old men and acting like old men so I'm very grateful to Russ and I could only I could only recommend what he says on the basis of my personal experience that's all I can say I think it's pretty remarkable you know like you said from the limitations that you're experiencing for your mobility and the pain you're experiencing for them to be saying well you need to have an operation to resolve that to feel the way that you do now is incredible so like it's almost unheard of I went to a skeleton skeleton I think that's what it calls I mean for an assessment because they were following up to do this operation and I showed her and she tested me give me exercises and she says it's amazing yeah this this is amazing she's like I've never seen this before so that's the facts that's the facts yeah you can make of it what you like yeah I can only tell you what I think well that's a medical opinion as well they're not going to operate on people when they don't need to right so that speaks for itself as well as your personal experience and you're the one that's living and breathing how you feel you know and the pain etc that you're in and the limitations you're experiencing so I'm extremely happy for you because yeah that's it making mobile and active and independent is really important and it just goes to show that you can make positive changes no matter your age and then have a huge huge impact so I think that's phenomenal I think the story itself is is a really powerful one for people to to hear about so thank you Jeff so we've talked about I suppose you know you are living in you you have a lot more or you're not as experiencing as much pain obviously you are not limited by the the health concerns that you previously had and you are feeling energised and especially in comparison unfortunately to some of your your friends your your health is seeming to be sort of on the up in comparison and this has been all sort of along from Russ's guidance and advice and so it's been a pretty big transformation um have you ever worked have you ever sort of had any other like coaching with anyone else or has it just been Russ that you've sort of no I haven't I tend to look on these things as a bit and I don't know how to explain it really a bit fine the sky sort of stuff you just want to earn a you just want to earn a few bulb you know you've got a bit of knowledge you've got a bit of knowledge you know more than only to me yeah it's not a case of distrust or maybe a bit but it's um it's all a bit hairy fairies for me you know man and uh so I'm very skeptical about doing these things and I'm very skeptical about Russ I've proved I've proved been proved to be wrong I don't like being of course all us men are like that you know we don't like to be wrong haha as we do so uh yeah obviously I'm very happy with the outcome and uh it seems to be improving very slowly but improving that's the trade you know I've couldn't I feel I know the difference between what I was say three months ago wow so um that's incredible I've looked I've thought about is it a psychological effect there must be some of course yeah I want to well there must be some but I can I can I can run upstairs and I can run upstairs and I can barely walk upstairs yeah so uh you can't you can't change that no you can't you can't indeed read that in any other way so it's so it's a great way if you're going to be proven wrong about anything it's been a brilliant it's I don't like being proven wrong I have another question um did Russ advise you about the vaccine as well the covid vaccine um yes he has advised me about the vaccines and been talking to me but um I don't like vaccines anyway so he was more or less talking to the converted or shall we say um confirming to the converted so my first thought when this latest round of vaccines came along for the uh coronavirus pandemic and it was um shall we say they've take they take years decades even to develop these vaccines and then suddenly whoa yeah they come along in three months and it's all okay no way no way uh and we know that um big companies whatever business they're in they don't always tell you the truth if there's a a few pounds at the end of the line and if there's many billions at the end of the line a little man and woman don't count that's my view
