Thursdays 5:00pm - 6:00pm (EDT)
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Vicki Mizel will discuss her memory program and also bring life experience into how she further developed it. Spanning mental and neurological health, she has even discussed ways to engage and feel more quality of health, even when dealing with other diseases.
Vicki Mizel was trained as an educator and public speaker. She began teaching the Brain Sprout’s Memory Method in 1980 to school children in public high schools. Within a short time she trained executives in Fortune 500 corporations such as IBM, Rolm, Prudential, Hewlett Packard; taught through community college, both seniors and Alzheimer’s patients; and gave public seminars nationally and internationally. She also produced a highly successful audio-tape Mp3/CD program on memory training.
After 20 years of teaching and training, Mizel returned to graduate school to receive her Master’s degree in psychology. She now offers her programs to therapists, heath care practitioners, medical facilities, spouses and caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones. She also trains actors with learning scripts and characterization.
Mizel also assists individuals, pre-retirees and companies through career transition with her program, “Passion Quest: Finding the Work You Love and Loving The Work You Do! “She is the author of the book, Love Remembers.” This book is the culmination of her knowledge and expertise, offered to the reader in her belief that we can all retrieve, enhance and cherish our memories.

Frank R. Harrison introduces special guest Vicki Mizel, a memory expert and motivator whose programs support individuals, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in improving brain health and quality of life, especially for those affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s. Drawing on her 20 years of teaching, graduate studies in psychology, and personal passion, Vicki developed Brain Sprouts—a system designed to enhance focus, recall, and confidence while countering cognitive decline. Her work, including the book Love Remembers and corporate training programs, reflects a lifelong commitment to empowering patients, providers, and communities with tools to strengthen memory, resilience, and overall well-being.
Frank R. Harrison highlights Vicki Mizel’s two books—one centered on her memory program for Alzheimer’s and dementia support, and another inspired by her personal journey through a traumatic brain injury and later experiences during COVID. Vicki shares how her Brain Sprouts system not only aided her own recovery but also empowered seniors, students, and corporate clients by strengthening cognition, confidence, and communication. Through decades of teaching, research, and lived resilience, she demonstrates how memory training can be a powerful therapeutic tool that fosters healing, independence, and long-term brain health.
In this powerful segment, Vicki Mizel introduces her brother Gary, who shares his near-death experience with COVID-19 and how her determination, nutritional support, and homeopathic interventions helped save his life when conventional care seemed inadequate. Their story underscores the importance of holistic approaches, visualization, and the willpower fostered by Vicki’s Brain Sprouts memory program, which shaped both her caregiving and his recovery. Together, they show how integrative health practices, resilience, and love can transform survival into renewed purpose, leading to Vicki’s book Love Remembers and her work on leadership and healing from the heart.
Frank R. Harrison reflects on the powerful journey of the episode, highlighting Vicki Mizel’s decades of work in memory training, her ability to inspire others, and the community impact she creates through both healthcare advocacy and personal empowerment. Together, Frank and Vicki emphasize the importance of proactive health choices, gratitude, nutrition, and integrating memory practices not just for those with dementia, but for anyone seeking longevity and vitality. The show closes with a call to action—“Be frank about health”—reminding listeners to take ownership of their well-being and explore resources like Vicki’s I Remember Vicki Meisel training and speaking programs.
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:46.299 Frank R. Harrison: Hey everybody, it is September 18th, 2025, and I am proud to announce Vicki Meisel as my special guest on this particular episode of Frank About Health for multiple reasons. Number one.
00:00:46.540 --> 00:01:02.279 Frank R. Harrison: She is truly a motivator. I had the chance to spend a week and a day with her outside prior to this interview, and I only had met her, like, the day before we actually got together. A referral from Sam Leibowitz, a shout out to you again, Sam.
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:17.049 Frank R. Harrison: You always pick the right referrals for me to feature on Frank About Health. And more importantly, another reason is because we're gonna actually demonstrate a very important memory program that she offers to all of her clients and all of her corporate
00:01:17.050 --> 00:01:23.770 Frank R. Harrison: Leaders that she works with, as well as other people that have suffered from things like dementia.
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:37.500 Frank R. Harrison: And all of my listeners know out there about the history of my cousin and what she has gone through, so we're gonna actually see a little snippet of her memory program, somewhere in Segment 2, I believe.
00:01:37.690 --> 00:01:52.099 Frank R. Harrison: I will issue my disclaimer. The information here are not the talks and points of views of FrankAbouthealth or talkradio.nyc, but rather, if you find it very insightful, inspirational, and informative for your own memory needs.
00:01:52.110 --> 00:01:59.490 Frank R. Harrison: as well as other kinds of health-related issues that you believe that someone like Vicki can help you out with.
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:11.159 Frank R. Harrison: I definitely would say this is the show for you. If you disagree, by all means, just go to another show. I don't want to suffer the same fate that a certain late-night talk show host had faced
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:21.150 Frank R. Harrison: yesterday. Now, that being said, before I introduce you, Vicki, and have you start speaking, I want to read a little bit about your bio so everyone gets a background on you.
00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:31.989 Frank R. Harrison: First of all, everybody, because of the nature of this video, I mean, of this guest, I've titled this episode, You Must Remember Vicki Meisel.
00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:50.149 Frank R. Harrison: So that being said, Vicki Meisel will discuss on this episode of Frank About Health her memory program and bring life experience into how she has developed it. Spanning mental and neurological health, she has even discussed ways to engage and feel more of a high quality of life
00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:52.830 Frank R. Harrison: Even when dealing with other diseases.
00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:55.720 Frank R. Harrison: After 20 years of teaching and training.
00:02:55.910 --> 00:03:11.719 Frank R. Harrison: Vicki has returned to graduate school to receive her master's degree in psychology. She now offers her programs to therapists, healthcare practitioners, medical facilities, spouses, and caregivers of Alzheimer's patients, as well as other loved ones.
00:03:11.830 --> 00:03:17.249 Frank R. Harrison: She also trains actors and ways of learning their scripts and characterizations.
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:29.310 Frank R. Harrison: Mizell also assists individuals, pre-retirees, and companies through career transition with her program, Passion Quest, finding the work you love and loving the work you do.
00:03:29.390 --> 00:03:41.179 Frank R. Harrison: She is the author of the book Love Remembers. This book is the culmination of her knowledge and expertise offered to the reader in her belief that we can all retrieve, enhance, and cherish our memories.
00:03:41.610 --> 00:03:54.920 Frank R. Harrison: That all being said, Vicki, you have the floor. By all means, just talk about your background, and just in general, what you are going to be offering to my listeners and viewers today. And welcome to Frank About Health.
00:03:54.920 --> 00:03:56.259 Vicki Mizel: Oh, thank you.
00:03:56.660 --> 00:04:09.230 Vicki Mizel: Well, I was especially impressed with your music, about all the stars in the sky. And, we're, you know, they say, we're stars.
00:04:09.660 --> 00:04:13.970 Vicki Mizel: And the brain, imagine as if…
00:04:14.130 --> 00:04:18.529 Vicki Mizel: The universe outside of us really is inside of us.
00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:19.300 Frank R. Harrison: Yes.
00:04:19.829 --> 00:04:34.709 Vicki Mizel: And that, as one practices this particular course, I call it Brain Sprouts, because it actually sprouts the brain and increases concentration, focus, recall.
00:04:34.869 --> 00:04:41.709 Vicki Mizel: And, really strengthens, strengthens your… your brain so that…
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.829 Vicki Mizel: As you get older, you get better.
00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:45.960 Frank R. Harrison: Yes.
00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:48.110 Vicki Mizel: As opposed to declining.
00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:49.650 Frank R. Harrison: Yes, so…
00:04:49.650 --> 00:04:52.520 Vicki Mizel: We witnessed that on Wednesday night.
00:04:53.160 --> 00:05:07.189 Frank R. Harrison: Yes, so, I mean, go into, basically, how this became a passion project of you to really focus on the brain and memory training, and then also recap a little bit about what we did on Wednesday night.
00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:15.729 Vicki Mizel: Well, I got started with this because I wanted to go to grad school. I had been wanting to be a therapist.
00:05:16.030 --> 00:05:27.309 Vicki Mizel: And I was flunking statistics, and I thought, oh my gosh, I'm never gonna have my dream come true, because I'm not gonna pass statistics, it's gonna ruin my life.
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.760 Frank R. Harrison: So…
00:05:28.770 --> 00:05:30.860 Vicki Mizel: I met a memory expert.
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:39.120 Vicki Mizel: He did not know about the orators, the Greek orators, which I'd studied in college, because they had a memory system way back.
00:05:39.330 --> 00:05:55.170 Vicki Mizel: in 400 BC, and even before that, in Egypt, they were using pictures to make things happen, you know, to see the end result of great armies and great kings and pharaohs.
00:05:56.300 --> 00:06:01.879 Vicki Mizel: So… hold on, I… I'm so sorry, I'm… there's some distraction.
00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:03.060 Vicki Mizel: Hold on.
00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:04.640 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, okay.
00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:05.850 Vicki Mizel: Gary?
00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:20.580 Frank R. Harrison: So, for everyone out there, We're All Connected is a theme music that happens in between shows right here on talkradio.nyc. Everyone knows my theme music. Sounds like me driving my car. It's a very race, very…
00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:31.629 Frank R. Harrison: I'm in charge kind of motif, but the music she did talk about, which I also enjoy, is available on YouTube for those of you who want to find it. We're all connected.
00:06:31.820 --> 00:06:32.350 Frank R. Harrison: Alright.
00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:38.549 Vicki Mizel: All right, thank you. I apologize for that. There was some, disturbance going on. I needed to correct it. Thank you.
00:06:38.550 --> 00:06:40.040 Frank R. Harrison: No problem, no problem.
00:06:41.140 --> 00:06:42.330 Frank R. Harrison: So…
00:06:43.630 --> 00:06:56.669 Vicki Mizel: Anyway, I learned the technique. I was teaching kids at the time, I was a school teacher, and the kids, you know, learned the math. I learned it in a day. I taught it the next day.
00:06:56.990 --> 00:07:10.580 Vicki Mizel: And I was so impressed that within 2 weeks of teaching the students, they all did better on their vocabulary, they did better on their spelling, they did better in reading comprehension.
00:07:10.790 --> 00:07:25.350 Vicki Mizel: And I was just so excited that I told the principal, and the principal basically said, Vicki, since you love this memory system so much… oh, and the other thing, I was substitute teaching.
00:07:25.590 --> 00:07:42.370 Vicki Mizel: So, a substitute teacher has no control of the kids, and the kids just want to completely take over and make your life miserable. Yeah. So, the member guy had brought me this original set of unprofessionally done homemade tapes.
00:07:42.510 --> 00:07:54.249 Vicki Mizel: And but I listened to them, and I learned how to remember names, so I would have about 25 new names per hour, 5 hours a day.
00:07:54.460 --> 00:08:09.609 Vicki Mizel: And I memorized the kids' names within 5 minutes, and then 3 minutes, and then I got bored, I said, memorizing first and last names. Now, I had never had that experience before, and the kids were so impressed, they would applaud me.
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:16.399 Vicki Mizel: So, being an actress and being applauded, it's like food for the soul.
00:08:16.430 --> 00:08:24.470 Vicki Mizel: And so it just kept me going. And, I tried it, and did it, and tried it, day after day after day.
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:31.780 Vicki Mizel: And by the end of the day, usually after a long day working and teaching, one is very tired.
00:08:32.130 --> 00:08:38.369 Vicki Mizel: And I noticed I wasn't tired, I was enlivened. So I knew something was going on.
00:08:38.370 --> 00:08:38.980 Frank R. Harrison: Yes.
00:08:39.900 --> 00:08:56.129 Frank R. Harrison: The whole engagement of it all, and watching your brain cells expand, and the neural pathways actually develop further as you're taking on these new ways of getting these students engaged when there's nothing but chaos on a typical day, right?
00:08:56.540 --> 00:09:04.080 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, what… what happened was that I had control, the kids felt cared about.
00:09:04.780 --> 00:09:11.569 Vicki Mizel: And… I just got nothing but positive, positive energy, and…
00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:19.649 Vicki Mizel: then I… it took about a year of doing it and practicing it, but after about a year, I…
00:09:19.930 --> 00:09:30.839 Vicki Mizel: did a pilot program on my own time, my own money, at a school in Poway, and I taught it to a history class, an art class, an English class.
00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:33.950 Vicki Mizel: And I think a, math class.
00:09:34.780 --> 00:09:43.189 Vicki Mizel: And then I called a journalist at the newspaper and said, will you come in and watch me and do a story about this?
00:09:43.640 --> 00:09:51.259 Vicki Mizel: And then I actually got one of the students on SunUp San Diego, which was going on in San Diego at the time.
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.910 Frank R. Harrison: And the kid is the one who did the memory demonstration.
00:09:55.080 --> 00:10:05.730 Vicki Mizel: And his father told me it meant the world to him, seeing that kind of confidence in his son. He was born with, kind of like a…
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.050 Vicki Mizel: A fin for an arm.
00:10:08.750 --> 00:10:22.029 Vicki Mizel: And it always bothered him, but now that he had this strong memory and ended up doing, remembering a list of 15 items within 5, you know, about 5 minutes, and…
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.180 Vicki Mizel: Rattled them back off.
00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:25.730 Vicki Mizel: perfectly.
00:10:25.970 --> 00:10:35.669 Vicki Mizel: his confidence soared. He's… the dad told me that he became a coach for a girls' baseball or softball.
00:10:35.770 --> 00:10:41.810 Vicki Mizel: And just… his whole life started to flourish by the confidence he had.
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:50.070 Vicki Mizel: Being able to not only remember things, you know, socially, but academically as well.
00:10:50.580 --> 00:11:03.219 Frank R. Harrison: So, was your interest in this memory program more driven just based on your experience with the children, or was it based on your… on your focus on people with dementia, or was it just something you fell into?
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:15.050 Vicki Mizel: It was a… I feel it was my fate, you know, being at this party and meeting this memory guy, I think, turned my life around. It's… it started…
00:11:15.410 --> 00:11:20.510 Vicki Mizel: It… it was my… I faced… the… the day it happened changed my life.
00:11:20.770 --> 00:11:22.120 Frank R. Harrison: And…
00:11:22.510 --> 00:11:33.290 Vicki Mizel: what I… it was when I got hired, I called the… when the newspaper story came out.
00:11:34.190 --> 00:11:38.719 Vicki Mizel: And I took it to the… the, head of…
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.300 Vicki Mizel: gifted in San Diego City Schools.
00:11:42.930 --> 00:11:52.869 Vicki Mizel: And I… no, actually, I sent it to him, and I said, I'd like an appointment with you, because I would like to be a consultant teaching this memory program.
00:11:53.050 --> 00:11:58.939 Vicki Mizel: in San Diego City Schools. It wasn't my idea, it was the principal of the school where I was working.
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:08.699 Vicki Mizel: He said, Vicki, you should not be just in one classroom. You should be all over San Diego teaching this to the kids.
00:12:09.290 --> 00:12:16.270 Vicki Mizel: So, it was… I got hired… to teach,
00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:22.380 Vicki Mizel: 2 lessons per school. There were 60 schools, so I taught 120 lessons.
00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:25.580 Vicki Mizel: A year, for 5 years.
00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:28.309 Frank R. Harrison: At the end of those 5 years.
00:12:28.310 --> 00:12:30.579 Vicki Mizel: My brain had changed.
00:12:30.930 --> 00:12:37.189 Vicki Mizel: I could visualize, so my reading speed increased, my reading comprehension increased.
00:12:37.380 --> 00:12:43.959 Vicki Mizel: My acting improved. My imagination improved. My confidence improved.
00:12:44.300 --> 00:12:49.159 Vicki Mizel: I decided it was too important
00:12:49.540 --> 00:13:06.209 Vicki Mizel: Well, that's when I decided I had to bring this to the world. And that's when I went to corporations. I wanted them to underwrite education. I wrote a letter to Reagan. I sent him a set of memory tapes. I ended up buying the rights.
00:13:06.430 --> 00:13:17.720 Vicki Mizel: from the… and then I spent my inheritance when my mom passed away on putting this whole tape program together. Now they're… then they became CDs, and now they're MP3s.
00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:19.570 Frank R. Harrison: So…
00:13:19.570 --> 00:13:38.319 Vicki Mizel: I wanted to feel like even someone in Malaysia who wanted to learn this method could. So I have it available on YouTube, I have it in audio, MP3s or CDs, and then I also have courses that I teach that people can find on Brainsproutsmemory.com.
00:13:38.870 --> 00:13:46.789 Frank R. Harrison: Well, there you have it, everybody. We're about to take our first break, but that is the background of how Vicki Mizell took her passion.
00:13:46.860 --> 00:14:00.570 Frank R. Harrison: and her interest in being a psychologist, with the hesitation due to her inability to pass statistics, because I do know, having a neuropsych degree from, from NYU, that you needed statistics to do your thesis, so…
00:14:00.570 --> 00:14:18.010 Frank R. Harrison: That being said, she took the passion and her desire, integrated the two, and we're gonna spend the rest of the show talking proof of that. And during the commercial, you will see books that she's written, as well as, as I said in the second segment, we're gonna have a 5-minute video about her memory program.
00:14:18.010 --> 00:14:20.129 Vicki Mizel: And I did pass statistics.
00:14:20.350 --> 00:14:39.349 Frank R. Harrison: Okay, good. Be or better, I presume. Alright, that all being said, everybody, please stay tuned, as you must remember Vicki Meisel, right here on Frank About Health, on talkradio.nyc, and on our YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitch platforms. If you have any questions.
00:14:39.350 --> 00:14:46.879 Frank R. Harrison: Just go ahead and contact us, and our engineer behind the scenes will let us know what you want to know from Vicki or myself.
00:14:46.900 --> 00:14:48.790 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, stay tuned, we'll be back in a few.
00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:06.890 Frank R. Harrison: Hey everybody, and welcome back. I just gave you a preview of two books that Vicki has written.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:20.609 Frank R. Harrison: I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that only one of them have to do with your memory program, especially for the Alzheimer's, but the other one has to do with an experience during COVID with your brother, which we're going to talk about
00:17:20.609 --> 00:17:31.649 Frank R. Harrison: Later on in the show, but is there, perchance, anything within your memory program that motivated you with that book as well, or is it just a separate and distinct issue?
00:17:33.090 --> 00:17:34.470 Frank R. Harrison: And unmute first.
00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:50.339 Vicki Mizel: When I was in grad school, and I went to Antioch University, Antioch was great because they didn't give you grades, they gave you…
00:17:50.680 --> 00:18:07.459 Vicki Mizel: Papers and essays, so that instead of just, quote, memorizing, regurgitating, and forgetting it, they would give you the knowledge, and then have you put that knowledge to use, so it became a part of you.
00:18:07.910 --> 00:18:12.890 Vicki Mizel: And so, by the end of 2 years, when I saw that I had
00:18:13.060 --> 00:18:20.429 Vicki Mizel: a stack of papers this big, I said, oh my gosh, well, I could… I could write a book if I've written that many papers.
00:18:20.630 --> 00:18:24.199 Vicki Mizel: So, while at… in grad school, the first
00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:36.690 Vicki Mizel: 6 months, after the first 6 months, then I started write… I got a credit. It was a class, and it was to work on creating a book.
00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:41.810 Vicki Mizel: It was originally called They Can Still Remember to Love, then…
00:18:41.950 --> 00:18:48.189 Vicki Mizel: when I was about a year and a half into grad school, I got hit by a big rigged truck.
00:18:49.090 --> 00:19:02.330 Vicki Mizel: And, the truck was really big, and I was driving a… thank God I was driving a AMC Eagle. It's a Jeep, like an armored car, and it hit me, boom, boom, boom.
00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:04.610 Vicki Mizel: And I ended up brain injured.
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:11.059 Vicki Mizel: And I still had to finish school, and I still had future patients.
00:19:11.660 --> 00:19:19.870 Vicki Mizel: So, I did have to take a little hiatus, because I couldn't write at that time. I just couldn't even make a sentence.
00:19:20.910 --> 00:19:22.360 Vicki Mizel: And,
00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:36.619 Vicki Mizel: then I called my supervisor, I was like, I have patients, how am I going to handle this? She said, ask them if you can record the session, get that transcribed, and then we can still meet, and I can supervise you.
00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:50.649 Vicki Mizel: So what happened was, I finally… I went to UCLA, and this was 1999. They didn't know the brain could regenerate yet. I knew, because of what happened with my students and what happened with me.
00:19:50.800 --> 00:19:51.430 Frank R. Harrison: Yes.
00:19:52.170 --> 00:19:53.850 Vicki Mizel: But,
00:19:56.890 --> 00:19:58.340 Vicki Mizel: I…
00:19:58.980 --> 00:20:12.400 Vicki Mizel: I, I got help. I actually got help from a man named Dr. Tooman, Harold Tooman, and he said, you know, your memory course gave you this super powerful memory.
00:20:12.560 --> 00:20:17.550 Vicki Mizel: Your memory course is the thing that's gonna help you recover from your brain injury.
00:20:17.710 --> 00:20:19.399 Vicki Mizel: Said you're slow.
00:20:19.810 --> 00:20:35.970 Vicki Mizel: old people are slow, go find some old people, and teach them your memory course, and you'll get better. So I thought, okay, that sounds like a good idea, and I found out 3 days later that Los Angeles Unified School District
00:20:36.490 --> 00:20:48.509 Vicki Mizel: had a whole memory program for older adults. So I called them up, and I went, me, me, me, me, me, can I come in? I said, look, I have a whole memory system, can I…
00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:57.600 Vicki Mizel: teach my memory system under your umbrella. And the guy invited me in, it was July of 2000… 2001.
00:20:58.060 --> 00:21:05.199 Vicki Mizel: At that point. And, it took a while to recover enough to, you know, function.
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:23.010 Vicki Mizel: And he said, come on in. He said, we only have 2 classes. I said, that's perfect. So I started with 2 classes. Within 4 months, I was doing 9 classes. So I was teaching both dementia, Alzheimer's, and regular seniors.
00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:27.029 Vicki Mizel: For 18 hours a week, for two and a half years.
00:21:27.430 --> 00:21:35.240 Vicki Mizel: Amazing. And during that time, I improved, they improved, nobody, nobody declined.
00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:45.790 Vicki Mizel: And that's… and then during that time, that two and a half years, a girlfriend that I had met when we were in Russia together.
00:21:45.820 --> 00:21:56.199 Vicki Mizel: said, you need to be in a writing class. I'm gonna put you in this writing class. So he… she put me in Holly Prado's writing class.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:04.369 Vicki Mizel: I went to the class, I said, listen, I've got a brain injury, I used to be able to write an article or an essay in a week.
00:22:04.600 --> 00:22:10.659 Vicki Mizel: I can't even put two sentences together, and Holly said, that's okay, we'll help you.
00:22:10.930 --> 00:22:16.530 Vicki Mizel: So it took me a month to write an article, and then when I started working with the seniors.
00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:25.710 Vicki Mizel: And I just tell them about the day, what I was doing with them. Holly said, oh, Vicki, that's remarkable. You're actually making progress with
00:22:26.060 --> 00:22:44.030 Vicki Mizel: teaching people, some who aren't even speaking, they're nonverbal, and through you doing memory and pantomime with them, and, you know, helping them find other ways to communicate, you're getting them to start talking again. That's remarkable. So.
00:22:44.030 --> 00:22:44.490 Frank R. Harrison: Incredible.
00:22:44.490 --> 00:22:53.680 Vicki Mizel: just… just go home and sprawl. Scrawl, just get it on the page. So I did that for that whole two and a half years.
00:22:54.050 --> 00:23:02.930 Vicki Mizel: And then, as I got better and better, then I started rewriting, and then the rewriting was better than the beginning writing.
00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:07.960 Vicki Mizel: And it took about 8 years, honestly, and then everyone in the class
00:23:08.380 --> 00:23:17.600 Vicki Mizel: let me read the whole book to them through a series of classes. Like, they'd give an hour where I could read it aloud, and they'd give me feedback.
00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:28.400 Vicki Mizel: And then, right before I published it, Holly went back and edited every chapter one more time, so it had 8 edits, so this book is perfect.
00:23:29.040 --> 00:23:37.779 Vicki Mizel: And so, it… It felt like all of my years, 25 years of teaching the memory system.
00:23:38.020 --> 00:23:57.520 Vicki Mizel: all my research into teaching kids, teaching executives, teaching corporate, teaching students in junior high, high school, college, grad school, and CEOs, you know, all the different levels of presentation skills.
00:23:57.700 --> 00:24:12.369 Vicki Mizel: name, recall, listening skills, the whole gamut. I just felt like this is what I was meant to do to bring this knowledge to every thinking human, so that they can have
00:24:12.620 --> 00:24:21.689 Vicki Mizel: Their best self available for them, and… and be able to do their best, and give their best, and be happy.
00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:25.260 Frank R. Harrison: Is that how you came up with the name Brain Sprouts Memory?
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:36.480 Vicki Mizel: I came up with brain sprouts one night. I was taking my cats… I took my cats outside. I lived in Los Angeles at that time.
00:24:36.710 --> 00:24:50.040 Vicki Mizel: And every day I'd come home, let the cats out. We lived, at the Oakwood Apartments on Barham, and so it was really huge, and the cats would run in the bushes and the trees and play around.
00:24:50.170 --> 00:24:56.560 Vicki Mizel: Yeah. And I thought… someone said, your memory system is more than memory.
00:24:57.250 --> 00:25:05.310 Vicki Mizel: And you have to find a new title for it. It can't just be called the Associative Memory Course. That has no zing to it.
00:25:05.310 --> 00:25:05.810 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah.
00:25:05.810 --> 00:25:12.940 Vicki Mizel: So, as I was walking, I thought, you know, when people are thinking, and they can't remember, they go, oops.
00:25:13.070 --> 00:25:15.670 Vicki Mizel: Er, snap.
00:25:15.790 --> 00:25:17.080 Vicki Mizel: I remember.
00:25:17.970 --> 00:25:33.500 Vicki Mizel: And then it was an aha moment, and then just then, literally, my brain just came up with brain sprouts, and I thought, oh my god, that's what it does. It… it… it enhances the brain so much.
00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:34.710 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah. That…
00:25:34.780 --> 00:25:47.059 Vicki Mizel: you actually can do all the things you ever wished and wanted to do, at least that's what happened to me, and so many people that I've taught have achieved their goals. One of my students
00:25:47.270 --> 00:25:51.199 Vicki Mizel: much later in, Los Angeles.
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.870 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah.
00:25:51.870 --> 00:26:02.880 Vicki Mizel: was, no one in her school… in her family had ever gone to college. I think she had a brother in jail, a sister who'd dropped out and gotten pregnant. She had no role models.
00:26:03.070 --> 00:26:06.180 Frank R. Harrison: And, when I was teaching.
00:26:07.130 --> 00:26:19.879 Vicki Mizel: after the accident, actually went back to teach another 13 years, so it really worked. I would drill the kids with the memory system every day.
00:26:20.010 --> 00:26:37.500 Vicki Mizel: And this woman's name was Sandra. I… she called me after she had graduated and had gone on to college, and then she said, Ms. Mizell, I just wanted to tell you that I went to the academ… the police academy.
00:26:37.930 --> 00:26:48.579 Vicki Mizel: And I became a sergeant. But because of your memory system, she goes, remember the memory system when you used to drill us day in and day out? I said, yeah. She goes, thank you.
00:26:49.050 --> 00:26:54.910 Vicki Mizel: And she said, I am now a lieutenant. And she said, I know I'm a lieutenant.
00:26:55.150 --> 00:26:58.260 Vicki Mizel: Because I can do the work.
00:26:58.410 --> 00:27:02.150 Vicki Mizel: And I was able to do the work because of those techniques.
00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:12.629 Frank R. Harrison: Now, you did say to me earlier, like, when you were texting me about tonight's show, that there was something about mnemonics that you wanted to emphasize. I mean, was that part of the program?
00:27:13.770 --> 00:27:14.490 Frank R. Harrison: Your memory?
00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:25.379 Vicki Mizel: mnemonics is, but I… there's another story I actually want to tell you. When I was in New York, and I had just really started teaching to corporate.
00:27:26.470 --> 00:27:35.589 Vicki Mizel: I was teaching the How to Remember Names course in 3 hours, and then IBM said, we don't have time for that. I taught it in an hour and a half.
00:27:35.820 --> 00:27:36.300 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah.
00:27:36.300 --> 00:27:43.719 Vicki Mizel: But there was a gentleman named, John Mon… well, not Monroe,
00:27:44.490 --> 00:27:46.590 Vicki Mizel: Anyway, it'll come to me in a minute.
00:27:46.820 --> 00:27:47.370 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah.
00:27:47.370 --> 00:28:02.249 Vicki Mizel: And John said, I would like to learn your system privately, to help me with presentation skills. He said, I am asked to speak at a lot of events where I can't see the audience. It's just lights.
00:28:03.020 --> 00:28:08.430 Vicki Mizel: And I don't know how to respond to just lights, so I worked with him.
00:28:08.860 --> 00:28:19.819 Vicki Mizel: And he… we signed up for 10 lessons, and after the 6th lesson, he came to me and he said, I've got everything I need, I'm…
00:28:20.190 --> 00:28:26.220 Vicki Mizel: You know, knocking these presentations out in the park, you know, thank you so much.
00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:36.489 Vicki Mizel: And I heard… I… he just went on, you know, continued working. I think he was vice president of the insurance company.
00:28:37.060 --> 00:28:42.679 Vicki Mizel: And then I get a letter from him almost probably 20 years later.
00:28:43.310 --> 00:28:48.479 Vicki Mizel: He said, I just want to let you know that that memory system you taught me
00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:52.700 Vicki Mizel: I ended up teaching it to my sales team.
00:28:52.970 --> 00:28:59.589 Vicki Mizel: Everybody improved, we increased profits, we got along better, they were more motivated.
00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:06.260 Vicki Mizel: And he said, then I retired, and I had an accident where I slipped on the ice.
00:29:06.610 --> 00:29:10.140 Vicki Mizel: And cut my head open, and it was bleeding.
00:29:10.850 --> 00:29:11.330 Frank R. Harrison: Wow.
00:29:11.330 --> 00:29:19.839 Vicki Mizel: And I… I don't know if he'd lost consciousness or not, but he said he decided at that time to move to Seattle.
00:29:20.130 --> 00:29:23.080 Vicki Mizel: And he was at the University of Seattle.
00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:30.350 Vicki Mizel: With other people who had severe brain injuries, but he remembered that he had this memory system.
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.690 Vicki Mizel: So, he ended up teaching everybody in that
00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:40.110 Vicki Mizel: pro, University of, Washington program.
00:29:40.300 --> 00:29:48.300 Vicki Mizel: He got better, they all got better, and he said, not only did you give me this for my livelihood.
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:53.050 Vicki Mizel: But you gave me a system that gave me back my brain.
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:55.169 Vicki Mizel: Nice. And he knew back my life.
00:29:56.360 --> 00:30:12.939 Frank R. Harrison: Well, you're not gonna believe this, but we're ready for our next break, but it's perfect timing at the same time, because during the commercial, I'm gonna show the page with Brain Sprout's memory, and then when we come back from the break, I'm gonna go straight into your memory video.
00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:30.320 Frank R. Harrison: That illustrates everything you've just seen, and meanwhile, I think you have a special guest you want to introduce in our third segment coming up, so have him on standby, so when I flip the screen back after the video, we can start talking more about that second book that you wrote.
00:30:30.630 --> 00:30:33.079 Vicki Mizel: Okay, that's great. Thank you so much.
00:30:33.080 --> 00:30:41.750 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, you're welcome. And everybody, just please stay tuned right here on Frank About Health on TalkRadio.nyc, and on all of our socials. We'll be back in a few.
00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:06.470 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Bell, and I'm, been a memory trainer for quite a, quite a long time.
00:33:07.090 --> 00:33:09.910 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And, and speaking of goals.
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.720 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: I wanted to do a quick little memory exercise for you.
00:33:16.450 --> 00:33:22.559 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Because when you have goals, it's best to see them in your mind and be able to…
00:33:22.870 --> 00:33:26.529 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: View them over and over and over, and then you bring them forth.
00:33:26.670 --> 00:33:31.489 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: One of the things about the memory system, there's four steps to it. You have
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:42.600 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: one item, well, instead of explaining it, just you make an association, and you make the information pictures. So, I made this little…
00:33:42.780 --> 00:33:45.309 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: I don't even know if you can see it, but…
00:33:45.560 --> 00:33:53.850 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: For our healthy longevity for the year, one is exercise? So we have dumbbells, nutrition.
00:33:54.010 --> 00:33:59.210 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: I have a protein shake, Purpose could sound like a porpoise.
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:06.400 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Passion would be, fire, flame. Love is a heart, and…
00:34:06.870 --> 00:34:14.070 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Healthy longevity is, making your brain sprout, so I have little chia seeds.
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.349 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: So the way to make the association with this, and you can do this with
00:34:19.540 --> 00:34:25.909 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Strategic planning goals, once you know the technique of how to remember names, you can use it for that.
00:34:26.210 --> 00:34:28.919 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Same thing with presentation skills.
00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:48.020 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: But the power of it is when something becomes a picture, and it's, met with unusualness and in motion, it helps make outstanding recall. So, a huge part of this memory program helps you with focus, concentration, recall.
00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:50.240 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And regenerating the brain.
00:34:50.550 --> 00:34:57.830 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: So I'd like you to start in your imagination and see yourself exercising with dumbbells.
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:03.960 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: then I want you to imagine, I use this… core power…
00:35:04.460 --> 00:35:19.030 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: protein, it actually comes in 42 grams as well. And then, imagine the core power is associated, and it's… it's now… the dumbbells are drinking the core power.
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:31.070 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Then, imagine the Core Power protein is jumping on a porpoise, and swimming, The porpoise is…
00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:36.480 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Is, flying through a flame to represent passion.
00:35:37.100 --> 00:35:39.840 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: The flame is hugging a heart.
00:35:40.330 --> 00:35:50.720 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And, that represents love, And the heart is growing neural branches, or growing chia seeds.
00:35:50.990 --> 00:35:56.089 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And that represents, neuro-brain sprouts.
00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:01.589 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: So, that's just a simple example of being able to
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:10.069 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: See… take a word, make it into a picture, and make the connection, so everyone can…
00:36:10.200 --> 00:36:13.010 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Does everyone see that in their mind?
00:36:13.490 --> 00:36:19.239 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: So, the way this parl… oh, good, great. So, the way this parlays…
00:36:19.570 --> 00:36:25.659 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: This is, this is the… just an aspect of part of the first lesson.
00:36:26.050 --> 00:36:32.120 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: and there's about 6 main lessons, but about 12 lessons altogether. So,
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:49.890 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: You can use this method for remembering names. How many of you have had the experience where you walk into a store or restaurant, and someone calls you by your name, and they're so happy to see you, and for the life of you, you can't remember their name?
00:36:50.290 --> 00:36:59.609 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And, so this can help you never forget a name again. When I was 28 years old and I had first gotten involved.
00:36:59.810 --> 00:37:04.590 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: with, oh, thank you. If,
00:37:05.190 --> 00:37:18.200 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: I got involved with this memory expert, turned out he was a con artist, he took the money that I had invested and snorted up his nose, and I thought, oh my god, what am I doing? Why am I involved with this? And I went to Egypt.
00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:21.550 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And I was in front of the tomb of Osiris.
00:37:21.770 --> 00:37:24.800 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Or actually inside the tomb of Osiris.
00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:30.150 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And what I saw was pictures of fertile crops.
00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:40.060 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: great armies, and I was told that when the pharaohs were babies, a psychic would actually read their future.
00:37:40.150 --> 00:37:53.019 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And they would take artists, blindfolded, in horse and buggy, put a mirror up next to the sunlight, and it would shine inside the tombs, and they would draw these pictures.
00:37:53.630 --> 00:38:13.440 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And I got… I'm getting chills now, and I asked, what am I doing? Why am I getting this memory program? And it was because, Vicki, you're a messenger of this method of the power of pictures, stimulating the brain, giving people access to their natural gifts and talent, their true purpose.
00:38:13.620 --> 00:38:19.849 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And if you can give everyone this ability to have in their own brains the power of pictures.
00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:39.439 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: they can fulfill their destiny, just the way the pharaohs were in Egypt. I've taught kids, adults, CEOs, salespeople, healthcare. This method works pretty much with anybody, from, I'd say, 5 years old to almost 100 years old.
00:38:40.150 --> 00:38:43.729 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Anyone who's interested in the audio series.
00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:53.399 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: that I would make available a full memory lesson for an hour to hour and a half, which is worth over $200.
00:38:53.580 --> 00:39:03.679 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: If they purchase the audio series, either MP3s or CDs, then I would throw in a free memory course for you.
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:15.910 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, there we have it.
00:39:16.430 --> 00:39:22.679 Frank R. Harrison: And I can see your… your special guest is right there.
00:39:22.930 --> 00:39:27.440 Frank R. Harrison: As soon as you're ready to unmute.
00:39:27.600 --> 00:39:33.430 Frank R. Harrison: You can introduce him, and by the way, was the video sounding okay on your end?
00:39:33.430 --> 00:39:49.009 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, it sounded great. I just want to let people know where to go. You can go to BrainSprouts, B-R-A-I-N, Sprouts, plural, S-P-R-O-U-T-S dot com, and then go to shop.
00:39:49.610 --> 00:40:02.680 Vicki Mizel: and the MP3s and the audio tapes are $297, and then you get a free, lesson with it. So, that's a special if you're to say, I'm with Frank.
00:40:02.810 --> 00:40:06.170 Vicki Mizel: And you'll get the special… Deal.
00:40:06.660 --> 00:40:08.499 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, cool, cool.
00:40:08.630 --> 00:40:15.769 Frank R. Harrison: So, meanwhile, we talked earlier about your books, one of them, obviously, for Alzheimer's patients, but…
00:40:15.770 --> 00:40:20.460 Vicki Mizel: It's not just Alzheimer's, it's at everybody, including Alzheimer's.
00:40:20.460 --> 00:40:25.209 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, okay, any form of dementia, whether it's Alzheimer's or the other types that exist.
00:40:25.210 --> 00:40:28.239 Vicki Mizel: No, even normal people. Kids…
00:40:28.910 --> 00:40:29.690 Frank R. Harrison: Okay.
00:40:29.690 --> 00:40:40.030 Vicki Mizel: Normal people, like, you don't want to wait and do memory training when you have a memory problem. You want to start, really, when you're in your…
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:45.589 Vicki Mizel: Teens, 20s, so that you'll be a genius by the time you graduate.
00:40:45.780 --> 00:40:53.029 Vicki Mizel: And then you'll be like Lynn, and be 100 years old, singing and dancing, and…
00:40:53.240 --> 00:41:00.360 Vicki Mizel: Doing Pilates and yoga, and eating whatever you want, and looking forward to every day of life.
00:41:00.510 --> 00:41:17.750 Vicki Mizel: So, no, this method, the sooner you learn it, the stronger you get, the better you get, and the more you will have a stronger brain as you get older. Instead of declining, you'll get stronger and stronger and better and better.
00:41:17.750 --> 00:41:26.610 Vicki Mizel: Great. And if you have dementia or Alzheimer's, there is a way to use it in a modified way where they too can improve.
00:41:27.160 --> 00:41:30.839 Frank R. Harrison: Awesome. But the second book, A sister's love.
00:41:31.540 --> 00:41:39.190 Frank R. Harrison: That's what I want to now hear about, both from your perspective, since you wrote the book, but also your guest's perspective.
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:41.200 Frank R. Harrison: I'd like to introduce him?
00:41:41.200 --> 00:41:45.720 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, this is, you want to stand? Here?
00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:48.180 Vicki Mizel: No, there I am.
00:41:49.580 --> 00:42:01.980 Vicki Mizel: I dressed him. He loves this show. Turns out it's the number one show in New York. So, I got the phone call from the doctor in Mount Sinai.
00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:03.670 Vicki Mizel: New York.
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.650 Vicki Mizel: About 3 blocks from where my brother lives.
00:42:08.030 --> 00:42:09.480 Vicki Mizel: And…
00:42:09.770 --> 00:42:18.279 Vicki Mizel: He said, your brother's dying, he's on life support, and we'll give you a phone, and you can keep him company over the phone.
00:42:18.390 --> 00:42:20.020 Vicki Mizel: And watch him die.
00:42:20.470 --> 00:42:21.299 Vicki Mizel: Is he headed.
00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:22.130 Frank R. Harrison: COVID, right?
00:42:22.130 --> 00:42:35.320 Vicki Mizel: He was really bad with COVID, and I said, no, that's not okay, I'm coming to see him. And, it took a little more than that, but the bottom line is I flew to see him.
00:42:35.470 --> 00:42:36.000 Frank R. Harrison: Yet.
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:40.760 Vicki Mizel: And… Gary, you can say what your experience was like from there.
00:42:41.780 --> 00:42:50.289 Vicki Mizel: Well, I, had never heard of the coronavirus. When I was diagnosed, I was kind of learning about
00:42:50.450 --> 00:43:08.370 Vicki Mizel: what I had, and I was unaware of how many people were dying of it, and how it was a worldwide catastrophe. So, it kind of made sense to me as I was hearing about it, because I was so deathly ill.
00:43:08.610 --> 00:43:10.030 Vicki Mizel: And,
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:28.319 Vicki Mizel: You would have to know my sister and what she's been like throughout her whole life, bringing the world of homeopathy and acupuncture and chiropractic and, you know, the Eastern kinds of cures. And so, when I was…
00:43:28.690 --> 00:43:39.670 Vicki Mizel: aware of the plague, and that I had this plague, I was kind of coming to terms with that I was not going to survive it, but then
00:43:39.830 --> 00:43:58.099 Vicki Mizel: You have to know my sister what she's like when she becomes motivated, you know? She, in fact, won't take no for an answer, so she has access to a lot of resources that other people really don't have, and, you know, I know who these people are and what they're able to produce, so I would say that
00:43:58.310 --> 00:44:04.050 Vicki Mizel: The number one thing, of the many things that my sister provided me, like, she was…
00:44:04.090 --> 00:44:15.089 Vicki Mizel: bypassing nurses and bypassing all kinds of, barriers that people were putting in her way, and she was bringing me Kate's
00:44:15.130 --> 00:44:26.699 Vicki Mizel: protein liquid, so I was getting the protein that they weren't really giving me with these miniscule meals they were delivering. And then, when I found out that she was
00:44:26.900 --> 00:44:31.760 Vicki Mizel: bringing homeopathic medicine from Dr. Binder.
00:44:32.030 --> 00:44:47.350 Vicki Mizel: Then I started thinking, well, I have the ability to beat this, because I know who this man is, and he is probably the foremost homeopath in the country, and she has a close relationship with him, and if he says that I have something.
00:44:47.350 --> 00:44:55.550 Vicki Mizel: that can attack this, disease and this virus, then that's how I felt about it. And as soon as she started.
00:44:55.750 --> 00:45:01.490 Vicki Mizel: smuggling in the homeopathy. And nutrition, too. And then nutrition.
00:45:01.490 --> 00:45:02.260 Frank R. Harrison: Nutrition, yes.
00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:11.799 Vicki Mizel: I started feeling stronger, and my attitude started changing, and I remember one day, I kind of woke up thinking.
00:45:12.620 --> 00:45:25.039 Vicki Mizel: I don't think I'm gonna die at all, you know? So that's… that's when it all turned around. And that was after Vicki was… I don't know if she would want me to talk about how she actually did this, but they did not want her…
00:45:25.050 --> 00:45:37.829 Vicki Mizel: Playing the role of nutrition and nurse, but she had to get around all the people that were delivering my food and delivering things that were inadequate for somebody who's trying to have the
00:45:37.830 --> 00:45:47.800 Vicki Mizel: the energy to fight a major virus and lethal disease. So, I would say that my survival
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:55.040 Vicki Mizel: Was 100% due to my sister's knowing how to fight this.
00:45:55.040 --> 00:46:03.019 Frank R. Harrison: having access to the medication that I needed, and having the courage to bypass all the barriers, so… Oh, absolutely.
00:46:03.020 --> 00:46:05.150 Vicki Mizel: A complete, story.
00:46:05.430 --> 00:46:09.510 Frank R. Harrison: I would say her memory program literally created a type of…
00:46:09.540 --> 00:46:24.150 Frank R. Harrison: hypervigilance in her brain and a willpower that most people could not even muster through during the pandemic. I had to deal with that, dealing with my father recovering from cancer, at the same time while preventing, when I got COVID, from him getting it.
00:46:24.150 --> 00:46:42.140 Frank R. Harrison: While he's on immunotherapy, so I can understand all of the vigilance that she did to get what she needed to accomplish, and here you are, testimony to her work. And I also give credit, Vicki, to your memory training course, whether it was done indirectly or through innate instinct.
00:46:42.820 --> 00:46:53.799 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, Gary would say to me, he'd take my hand and say, we'll have this time to look back on, meaning we'll have a future. So, my brain went to the future.
00:46:53.800 --> 00:47:02.879 Vicki Mizel: of birthday parties, visits to New York, bringing my cat to be with him for his birthday in the next year.
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:14.280 Vicki Mizel: And, even though we had to have that hard conversation, what do you want in the… in case of death? And Gary said he wanted to be cremated, and
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:29.010 Vicki Mizel: ashes spread around the swirls in Tulsa at Woodward Park. That was the only time that we shared, but I never had the vision of a casket, I never had the vision of him dying, and
00:47:29.010 --> 00:47:43.890 Vicki Mizel: I only had the vision of him walking out of there, seeing the end result of, you know, him smiling, him getting stronger, seeing him walking out of the hospital. So, that is a byproduct of the memory system.
00:47:43.890 --> 00:47:45.180 Frank R. Harrison: Visualization.
00:47:45.180 --> 00:47:48.750 Vicki Mizel: And you see the end result of what you want to create.
00:47:49.120 --> 00:48:06.689 Vicki Mizel: And then you can link that with another image of what you want to create, and another image of what you want to create, and out of it came the book, Love Remembers. Then, out of that came my speaking engagements of leadership, now in corporations, leading from the heart.
00:48:07.020 --> 00:48:11.220 Frank R. Harrison: And so it's started a whole nother level of my career.
00:48:11.500 --> 00:48:14.089 Vicki Mizel: Thank you, dear.
00:48:14.090 --> 00:48:15.559 Frank R. Harrison: First of all, Gary, I have…
00:48:15.560 --> 00:48:22.640 Vicki Mizel: company you keep, see? Absolutely. The discovery in my whole life is you're like a guardian angel.
00:48:22.640 --> 00:48:40.640 Frank R. Harrison: Well, we actually went a little over time, because I wanted your story to definitely be testimony. As a matter of fact, your vision has come true, Vicki, because now this is being recorded, and it is going to be a reflection of what you accomplished 5 years ago. And then when we return, we're gonna hear how Vicki helped me this past week.
00:48:40.640 --> 00:48:56.000 Frank R. Harrison: right here on Frank About Health. It'll be a shorter section, but it'll be the finale of showing how Vicki Meisel is the woman you need to talk to to help with your memory, to help with all of the kind of healthcare concerns you have regarding your family, friends.
00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:03.249 Vicki Mizel: colleagues if it's in the workplace. Overall, you must remember Vicki Meisel. Okay, I'll sign off with that then.
00:49:03.250 --> 00:49:05.110 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, everybody, we'll be back in a few.
00:49:05.110 --> 00:49:08.559 Vicki Mizel: Thank you, Garrett. I got a great asset here, huh?
00:50:48.040 --> 00:51:01.749 Frank R. Harrison: Hey, everybody, and welcome back. I have to tell you, the last 3 segments of this show has really wrapped up what Vicki Meisel is all about, and I am proud to call you my friend, even though I've known you for the last 7 to 10 days.
00:51:01.790 --> 00:51:19.019 Frank R. Harrison: But what I have, in our interactions, first of all, what I mentioned in the beginning of the show, and you touched upon, Lynn, we were at Don't Tell Mamas, I think it was last Wednesday, around 6 or 7 in the evening, and you were showing an individual at 100 years old singing full-length songs
00:51:19.020 --> 00:51:27.600 Frank R. Harrison: with her family supporting her, and benefiting, I believe, from some of the memory information you provided to her, correct?
00:51:27.600 --> 00:51:41.090 Vicki Mizel: Well, Lynn… Lynn learned the memory system 35 years ago when she was going through a divorce, and she was having a rough time sleeping, so that affected her memory.
00:51:41.150 --> 00:51:55.459 Vicki Mizel: But her friend said, Vicki must have her come to your memory class, so I brought her and, gifted it to her. She did master the training, and she…
00:51:55.870 --> 00:52:00.450 Vicki Mizel: did this role of Greta Garbo, and she was Garbo.
00:52:00.710 --> 00:52:04.160 Vicki Mizel: Wow. So, Lynn probably has the technique
00:52:04.470 --> 00:52:08.440 Vicki Mizel: usable and available, but I would say that her…
00:52:08.600 --> 00:52:12.829 Vicki Mizel: Her tremendous will, her attitude of gratitude.
00:52:12.950 --> 00:52:19.239 Vicki Mizel: And the fact that she is a solid performer, actress, and singer.
00:52:19.770 --> 00:52:31.499 Vicki Mizel: And the fact that she is actually translating Russian… from Russian to English and English to Russian day and night with her housekeeper, Natasha.
00:52:31.820 --> 00:52:47.749 Vicki Mizel: and her doing exercise physiology… I mean, her doing exercises of Pilates and yoga, and boxing, and dancing because of her exercise physiology, Sharon, and because she's eating
00:52:47.750 --> 00:52:58.539 Vicki Mizel: Very healthy. Lots of real good homemade meals, proteins, vegetables, fruits, she's… Yeah, she's being… she… she…
00:52:59.260 --> 00:53:08.339 Vicki Mizel: She made her goal, she takes the action, she has the love and support of people that
00:53:08.570 --> 00:53:14.159 Vicki Mizel: Ended up coming to her in her life to make all this manifest.
00:53:15.200 --> 00:53:30.000 Frank R. Harrison: Now, and then Saturday, you were my guest at a fashion show that was raising money for an orphanage, and when you communicated about me after having seen my documentary, as well as knowing you were gonna be on this show.
00:53:30.140 --> 00:53:33.039 Frank R. Harrison: You turn the event into
00:53:33.340 --> 00:53:45.780 Frank R. Harrison: our bubble of being the cheerleaders for the team. Why don't you share with the listeners and viewers what your skill set, your memory, everything that we've talked about the last 45 minutes.
00:53:45.980 --> 00:53:54.549 Frank R. Harrison: how you were able to make me and Frank About Health into a well-recognized opportunity for those people.
00:53:55.230 --> 00:54:02.189 Vicki Mizel: Well, one of the eight of us became the in-crowd, through our fearless leader, Frank.
00:54:02.510 --> 00:54:05.159 Vicki Mizel: But when you told me…
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:18.380 Vicki Mizel: Your situation about your health that you had originally started, radio to talk about different diseases and how to improve them.
00:54:18.600 --> 00:54:21.200 Vicki Mizel: But then you said it's shifted now.
00:54:21.740 --> 00:54:29.359 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah, I was talking about epilepsy, removing the stigma, and then the focus shifted to COVID, and then has moved even to what's going on in our
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:31.660 Frank R. Harrison: our nation with disruption.
00:54:31.660 --> 00:54:41.229 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, and that's what I want to address. I want to address that for those listening, Frank is spearheading a movement now.
00:54:41.620 --> 00:54:50.110 Vicki Mizel: And it's frank about health, but it's truly, can you be frank with yourself about your own health?
00:54:50.250 --> 00:54:58.489 Vicki Mizel: Can you choose to exercise, find a way to improve memory skills.
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:07.049 Vicki Mizel: do everything you can for yourself, and have your own awareness. A doctor can't be in your body.
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:21.279 Vicki Mizel: And they can't watch you day and night. They can encourage, and they can make suggestions, but, you know, if I had listened to the doctor saying, just watch your brother and let him die over the phone.
00:55:21.330 --> 00:55:28.279 Vicki Mizel: That was not the best advice, but it was their advice at the time, based on the information they had.
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:28.830 Frank R. Harrison: Right.
00:55:28.830 --> 00:55:35.000 Vicki Mizel: Doctors are… some of them are amazing, outstanding, and specialists.
00:55:35.220 --> 00:55:45.979 Vicki Mizel: But honestly, you have to do your own due diligence. You have to do your own research. You have to recognize they're just human.
00:55:46.520 --> 00:55:51.899 Vicki Mizel: Medical degrees have very little nutrition.
00:55:52.490 --> 00:56:04.040 Vicki Mizel: hours of the study of nutrition in it. That's why there are many MDs who have gone on to do additional studies, which they call functional medicine.
00:56:04.770 --> 00:56:07.690 Vicki Mizel: And that's thinking a little bit outside the box.
00:56:07.820 --> 00:56:12.080 Vicki Mizel: So, if you get your thyroid checked.
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:23.310 Vicki Mizel: And then you get your stomach, you know, making sure you're doing probiotics and prebiotics. And then you get your brain scanned, like, through the Amen Clinic.
00:56:23.820 --> 00:56:43.000 Vicki Mizel: And you detox your body, because we're getting so much through smog, through the air, through our food, unfortunately, through chemicals, through cleaning chemicals that are going on in big business, where people are…
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:49.639 Vicki Mizel: breathing in these things. It's affecting pregnant women, you know, gas fumes.
00:56:49.900 --> 00:56:58.189 Vicki Mizel: There are… there is a test that people can take, a frozen toxic urine test, that shows
00:56:58.750 --> 00:57:16.360 Vicki Mizel: what's in your body. Like, I took it, and I found I had plastic in my body. I was like, how do I get plastic in my body? And then ways of detoxing that, and then once your body's clean and clear, then the nutrients that you take, and vitamin supplements you take.
00:57:16.770 --> 00:57:22.440 Vicki Mizel: Other forms of nutrition, then the body can actually use it and utilize it.
00:57:22.600 --> 00:57:25.789 Vicki Mizel: So, right now, we have a wake-up call.
00:57:26.100 --> 00:57:35.940 Vicki Mizel: that Fred… Frank… sorry, Frank wants everybody to just kind of say, Instead of…
00:57:36.150 --> 00:57:41.279 Vicki Mizel: Just hoping, wishing, and wanting something to get better, or be better.
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:44.609 Vicki Mizel: Ask yourself what you truly want.
00:57:45.650 --> 00:57:51.159 Vicki Mizel: Make the effort on your own to do it. Get other people to help you.
00:57:51.950 --> 00:57:55.990 Frank R. Harrison: Stay committed to it, have an accountability partner.
00:57:56.100 --> 00:58:14.869 Vicki Mizel: Yeah. And whatever your doctor says, you can follow it, but also, you can do more. More on your own. And the attitude, Lynn's attitude of gratitude, she said every day she thanks God for her life, her health, her home, her family, her friends.
00:58:14.980 --> 00:58:19.779 Vicki Mizel: You know, her artwork, her great health.
00:58:20.420 --> 00:58:26.290 Vicki Mizel: And when you have the attitude of gratitude, you can live, like my brother. He…
00:58:26.290 --> 00:58:26.850 Frank R. Harrison: Yes.
00:58:27.090 --> 00:58:35.839 Frank R. Harrison: I just… I'm getting the signal we have another show coming on in less than 2 minutes. Either way, ladies and gentlemen, you must remember Vicki Meisel.
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:46.439 Vicki Mizel: Actually, have them remember, I remember Vicki Meisel, and that's the new website for training and speaking. I remember
00:58:46.600 --> 00:58:50.099 Vicki Mizel: Vicki. Vicki Meisel, with an I. Vicki with an I.
00:58:50.430 --> 00:59:10.299 Frank R. Harrison: And so, ladies and gentlemen, I'll be back next week with another episode of Frank About Health. It'll be my season finale, and we will recap what has been going on the last couple months. Thank you again, Vicki, for being here. We're gonna sign off right now. I will give you a call in about 5 minutes, but thank you so much for being here. Thanks to Gary, and thanks again, Jesse, for producing tonight's show. My pleasure.
00:59:10.300 --> 00:59:15.890 Vicki Mizel: Thank you, and everyone remember… Be frank.
00:59:16.370 --> 00:59:17.500 Vicki Mizel: About health.
00:59:17.500 --> 00:59:21.489 Frank R. Harrison: Absolutely. All right, everybody, take care. See you next week.
00:59:21.490 --> 00:59:22.419 Vicki Mizel: Thank you. Bye-bye.
