Frank R. Harrison opens the season finale of Frank About Health by reflecting on twelve weeks of stories that showcase how individuals turn healthcare disruption into proactive action. Joined by guest Vicki Mizel, he highlights key episodes, personal challenges, and moments of advocacy that emphasize taking ownership of one’s health and exploring alternative solutions when traditional care falls short. Framed under the theme From Disruption to Renewal, this segment positions the show as a resource for healthcare advocates and providers preparing for the uncertainties of 2026 with renewed strategies and resilience.
In this segment of Frank About Health, Frank R. Harrison reflects on using his voice to advocate for loved ones facing neglect in healthcare institutions, highlighting how persistence and legal authority can force accountability and change. He ties these experiences to broader themes of healthcare disruption, misinformation, and the critical need for self-advocacy, drawing on personal stories from COVID-19 and 9/11 to show how crisis can inspire resilience and renewal. Joined by Vicki Mizel, the discussion expands to mental health, addiction recovery, and innovative treatments like NAD therapy, underscoring the importance of vision, proactive care, and alternative solutions for both patients and providers.
In this segment of Frank About Health, John Fulbright’s work with bee venom therapy is spotlighted as an innovative approach to conditions like Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, and MS, showing how natural treatments can restore nerve function, reduce inflammation, and strengthen immunity. Frank ties Fulbright’s journey—from surviving a lightning strike to pioneering apitherapy—to the larger theme of trusting instinct and seeking alternative solutions when conventional medicine reaches its limits. With Vicki Mizel adding that true healing comes from combining medical care, intuition, and holistic practices, the discussion emphasizes a growing movement for healthcare advocates and providers to empower patients to listen to themselves and take proactive ownership of their well-being.
In the closing segment of Frank About Health, Frank R. Harrison highlights how nutrition—like brain-boosting salads and wholesome meals—can be a powerful ally against conditions such as dementia, reinforcing that food is medicine when paired with medical care. He recaps inspiring stories from recent episodes, from nonagenarians thriving with creativity to caregivers transforming grief into new purpose, all demonstrating resilience in the face of healthcare disruption. Looking ahead, Frank announces the upcoming Voices of Disruption series, a movement empowering patients, providers, and advocates to trust their instincts, embrace both conventional and alternative approaches, and take proactive ownership of health as we head into 2026.
00:00:47.600 --> 00:01:03.889 Frank R. Harrison: Hey everybody, welcome back to a new episode of Frank About Health. This is my season finale. The last 12 weeks have been devoted to showing cases of individuals, when faced with healthcare disruption, do something about it.
00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:23.590 Frank R. Harrison: There were two episodes in particular that were repeated during the season, and I'll go into explanation as to why they were repeated, but they did reflect the message of the season. And today, I bring back last week's guest, Vicki Meisel, to go over the season, and reflect, and discuss, and get further enhancement and thoughts
00:01:23.590 --> 00:01:30.970 Frank R. Harrison: that probably I didn't think about when I did those shows. I will spend this episode mainly discussing the shows, but I do have
00:01:30.970 --> 00:01:44.749 Frank R. Harrison: 3 or 4 clips that I'm going to play back to review some quotes, to review some highlights, and also, for some of you who remember Joey's cooking, to also get prepared for your dinner meal. Now, that being said.
00:01:44.750 --> 00:01:47.340 Frank R. Harrison: Is there really a disclaimer for this episode?
00:01:47.340 --> 00:02:11.320 Frank R. Harrison: Well, it's the same as it's always been. These are not the views of TalkRadio.nyc, or of my show, Frank About Health, but they are the views of the guest that has been on the show, and they're hopefully there as providing you food for thought for how to look at your healthcare advocacy, and look at what is disrupting you and your healthcare needs, and what kind of solutions can you come up with in order to come back to some form of balance.
00:02:11.410 --> 00:02:15.439 Frank R. Harrison: And some form of taking advocacy of your own health.
00:02:15.670 --> 00:02:20.670 Frank R. Harrison: So, that all being said, the episode is titled, From Disruption to Renewal.
00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:38.270 Frank R. Harrison: That is because, if you all remember, I took a 4-month hiatus after last November, when my dear friend Aretha Gray had passed, and not to mention, other things had been going on in my family system that I wasn't even sure of my own return to the show until Sam Leibowitz
00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:48.469 Frank R. Harrison: had invited me back and interviewed me on that first episode, which was about 6 months ago today. Or, 6 months ago, relatively speaking, based on the cycle of shows we've done.
00:02:49.210 --> 00:03:03.339 Frank R. Harrison: And so I want to put a bookend on it by doing a reflection of how much I have grown since I came back to the network again for 2025, and also combated a lot of healthcare disruption challenges, both personally
00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:17.139 Frank R. Harrison: and professionally, while at the same time looking into the final quarter of 2025, which begins next week, when I return with a new season of Frank About Health, but in a much more proactive, getting ready for 2026 kind of way.
00:03:17.160 --> 00:03:19.499 Frank R. Harrison: More information on that later on.
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:33.380 Frank R. Harrison: That's pretty much all my background before I say, hi, Vicki, welcome back. Remember to unmute yourself so we can really share some thoughts and opinions, I think, because obviously the first show that I'm going to talk about is the one that you were on last week.
00:03:33.380 --> 00:03:40.890 Frank R. Harrison: So, just for clarity, everyone can see these episodes on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitch.
00:03:40.890 --> 00:03:53.239 Frank R. Harrison: But, as far as YouTube is concerned, there is an entire playlist dedicated to, at this point, 106 of my 156 episodes, which includes this one.
00:03:53.240 --> 00:04:05.999 Frank R. Harrison: So, that being said, I hope you'd all take the time out there to actually look back at the playlist, and actually see more in depth of what the last 6 months has been, because when we highlight some of the main
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:16.790 Frank R. Harrison: discussion points and main triggers of aha moments out there, they're things that I'm sure you're gonna wanna really take control of for yourself, especially as we get ready
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:31.529 Frank R. Harrison: for a new year that doesn't promise to be as secure when it comes to your healthcare as we would like. And I'm hoping Frank About Health has been there to give you the transparent information, but I want to really be there for all of you when things start to really pivot.
00:04:31.830 --> 00:04:46.590 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, I think that's all that I can say for now, Vicki, but that being said, welcome back. I know it's only been a week since you were here, but I'd like to first say, did you make it home safe? How was your trip to New York? Do you want to add anything else that you left out last week?
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.350 Vicki Mizel: the,
00:04:49.570 --> 00:05:07.689 Vicki Mizel: The only thing I… New York was fantastic. I was on fire after I watched Lynn Charney perform at the age of 100 plus, and it was flawless, so I wrote an article about that. I was so excited to think you can be even better at 100.
00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:27.000 Vicki Mizel: And then the rest of the week, just… there were great things that were going on, and my cat was having a good time. And then on the flight back, there were… we had a lot of turbulence, really a lot of turbulence, to the point that I was scared, and I started praying. And I checked on the cat, she was just…
00:05:27.330 --> 00:05:38.900 Vicki Mizel: Right? And the… the plane was going like this, and we were really jerking around, and so I prayed, and then right afterwards, even to Howard Wills, I added him in.
00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:52.399 Vicki Mizel: And then the plane just kind of mellowed out, and it was very interesting, so I feel very grateful. You know, we… we really take a… we don't think about it, because we get in an airplane the same way we get in a car.
00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:01.820 Vicki Mizel: But we are very vulnerable up there in the skies, and it's a miracle every time we go and we land, so…
00:06:01.820 --> 00:06:02.340 Frank R. Harrison: Yes.
00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:10.970 Vicki Mizel: It's just amazing. You know, we take it for granted to, you know, not have to take a horse and bike cross-country, but…
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:23.080 Vicki Mizel: We're just really, really lucky that we can visit friends and family and people and get there at important times and celebrations, and I think this, too, is a celebration, so…
00:06:23.470 --> 00:06:27.100 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, yeah, and also we had the Jewish holiday Lashana Tova, right?
00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:28.719 Vicki Mizel: Oh yeah, thank you, thank you.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:42.780 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, you're very welcome. You're very welcome. So yeah, I'm gonna dedicate this first segment to our relationship this past month. It wasn't just your appearance on the show last week. We actually had met two weeks prior.
00:06:42.820 --> 00:06:52.089 Frank R. Harrison: And, or whether a week and a half prior, around that time, we actually had a chance to meet Lynn together at Don't Tell Mamas here in the city, in New York.
00:06:52.130 --> 00:07:10.349 Frank R. Harrison: And then we also went to a high-profile fashion show that Saturday, I think it was… what did you say, the 13th or the 16th? 13th. 13th, and that… that provided a lot of fanfare for not just all of us being there, but also people wanting to know more about Frank About Health.
00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:14.050 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, because you were the in-crowd. Frank was the in-crowd.
00:07:14.320 --> 00:07:20.329 Frank R. Harrison: Exactly. And then, just even the feedback that I got from previous people.
00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:38.009 Frank R. Harrison: who got a chance to see the runway photos and stuff like that on my social media have contacted me saying, when can I be on your show again? So, that would include some of the people I'm gonna mention on this episode that have already been on this past season, but it's also gonna include Dr. Marshall Rungi, I've heard from him.
00:07:38.010 --> 00:07:44.270 Frank R. Harrison: I don't know the date which he is coming back, but I am definitely looking forward to have him come back. And,
00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:45.770 Frank R. Harrison: Vicki.
00:07:45.770 --> 00:07:57.900 Vicki Mizel: and Lacey being able to be a doctor and yet have time to crochet these incredible fashions. They said not a single one of them were manufactured by a machine.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:13.500 Frank R. Harrison: Yeah, it was her surgical technique that put those things together. Yeah, Dr. Lacey Kupani, who actually has not been on the show, but when she comes, she's looking forward to really not only do her own little fashion show for all of us out here on talk radio, but
00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:21.390 Frank R. Harrison: At the same time to discuss her experience with immunology, transplant surgeries, biomedical research.
00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:26.470 Frank R. Harrison: A lot of things that I… would be farthest from the imagination until she explained.
00:08:26.580 --> 00:08:31.600 Frank R. Harrison: You know, so, it'll be an interesting conversation when I finally have that all set up.
00:08:31.750 --> 00:08:37.809 Frank R. Harrison: Ladies and gentlemen, I think just out of consistency, I'm gonna name the episode titles.
00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:56.779 Frank R. Harrison: that we had for this season, and then each segment will devote to at least 2 or 3 of them. As I said, this is the 12th episode, so you're just watching it as we go along, but of the other 11 episodes, 2 of them were repeats, so I'm only going to be featuring 9 episodes throughout this particular episode.
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:02.790 Frank R. Harrison: The first episode we did that I want to talk about is You Must Remember Vicki.
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:14.919 Frank R. Harrison: So I'm actually gonna show a clip from that episode, which is the scene with you and your brother Gary, talking about his experience in recovering from COVID, with your vigilance and all of that.
00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:27.520 Frank R. Harrison: And then I'm also gonna touch upon, after we get Vicki's feedback on that segment, about the two tribute episodes that I did, but I will leave that blank for now until we play this episode.
00:09:27.530 --> 00:09:29.010 Frank R. Harrison: upcoming scene.
00:09:29.190 --> 00:09:30.549 Frank R. Harrison: So bear with me.
00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:36.329 Frank R. Harrison: Oops, sorry about that.
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:50.879 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, my sister are in.
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.130 Frank R. Harrison: What she would have been like, throughout her whole… Hawaii, bringing…
00:09:56.580 --> 00:10:00.080 Frank R. Harrison: The world of homeopathy and acupuncture.
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:07.829 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: and chiropractic and, you know, the Eastern kinds of cures. And so, when I was…
00:10:08.050 --> 00:10:19.359 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: 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…
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:29.050 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: You have to know my sister what she's like when she becomes motivated, you know? She exactly won't take no for an answer, so she has access to…
00:10:29.180 --> 00:10:37.779 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: 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
00:10:37.970 --> 00:10:54.740 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: the number one thing, of the many things that my sister provided me, like, she was, bypassing nurses and bypassing all kinds of, barriers that people were putting in her way, and she was bringing me Kates.
00:10:54.780 --> 00:11:06.359 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: 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…
00:11:06.470 --> 00:11:11.410 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Bringing homeopathic medicine from Dr. Binder.
00:11:11.630 --> 00:11:26.919 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: 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.
00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:35.180 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: that can attack this, disease and this virus, then that's how I felt about it. And as soon as she started.
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:51.780 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: smuggling in the homeopathy. And nutrition. And then nutrition. I started feeling stronger, and my attitude started changing, and I remember one day, I kind of woke up thinking.
00:11:52.530 --> 00:12:04.980 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: 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
00:12:05.010 --> 00:12:17.790 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: 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
00:12:17.790 --> 00:12:25.860 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: the energy to fight a major virus and lethal disease. So, I would…
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:47.839 Frank R. Harrison: Okay, that was basically summarizing exactly why people must remember Vicki Meisel. You were a disruptor and a disruptor at the same time, as I said on one of my previous episodes a while back.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:58.230 Frank R. Harrison: You were actually fighting for what you knew was better than what the nurses and doctors at that time could predict. And you were not gonna listen to anyone but yourself.
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:05.230 Frank R. Harrison: And that's what I'm hoping that my viewers and listeners, when they saw that segment last week, and of course just now.
00:13:05.230 --> 00:13:20.069 Frank R. Harrison: Are going to find within themselves that driver that is going to make them combat the rhetoric that we continue to hear every day, whether it's in the news, or whether it's with your own doctor, or whether you just know better based on an alternative treatment.
00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:32.809 Frank R. Harrison: Or something that you've researched, and really just own your healthcare, which is what I'm really hoping that that episode in particular got across, but at the same time, most people will get across going forward.
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:38.090 Vicki Mizel: Thank you. Yeah, what they were doing was they had resigned themselves.
00:13:38.350 --> 00:13:47.319 Vicki Mizel: To just keeping my brother comfortable, and giving him, mushy vegetables, no protein, and morphine.
00:13:47.510 --> 00:14:00.139 Vicki Mizel: I didn't know that at the time. I didn't find that out until I got there. But Dr. Binder is someone I met 50 years ago, when I was a student at University of Colorado Boulder.
00:14:00.270 --> 00:14:04.780 Vicki Mizel: And because my mother had…
00:14:05.050 --> 00:14:16.090 Vicki Mizel: had some bad experiences through surgeries where they cut too much of her thyroid. She started looking into health in the early 1950s.
00:14:16.110 --> 00:14:35.299 Vicki Mizel: So, I actually was raised with nutrition, vitamins, chiropractic, acupuncture, so I was raised thinking out of the box. So, for me, when someone says there's nothing you can do, that's when I start going, well, that's not true, there's always something you can do.
00:14:35.300 --> 00:14:52.519 Vicki Mizel: And then I go about researching and checking in and doing things. So, Dr. Binder had told me there was going to be a chemical issue that was going to hit the country. He didn't know exactly when, but he prepared, actually, a kit.
00:14:52.610 --> 00:15:11.680 Vicki Mizel: So, when Gary was in trouble, and he… Gary said to me, get me the nutrition I need to fight the virus, I knew who to call, and Dr. Binder was already prepared, so he knew what to do for COVID. Now, not everyone's lucky enough to know a Dr. Binder, but…
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:32.389 Vicki Mizel: I was, you know? And, so he told me what to get, what direct effect it would have on my brother, and how it could help. So, I went to 3 different, stores and got him everything he needed, called the doctors and said, will you approve of these?
00:15:32.540 --> 00:15:40.549 Vicki Mizel: And there were 12 items, and they said, we'll approve of 4, so I took the other items and stuck them in my pot, you know, in my…
00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:58.650 Vicki Mizel: And then when Gary talked about it, he would call me and say, they're messing up my meals, they're mixing it up with a Glen Jones. So I'd call and talk to the kitchen and say, listen, my brother needs double protein, he's got COVID, he needs all this protein to get his body strong.
00:15:58.690 --> 00:16:03.029 Frank R. Harrison: Yes. And, so I was on them, and then…
00:16:03.030 --> 00:16:21.930 Vicki Mizel: you know, unfortunately, the COVID people were not allowed to get up and go to the bathroom, so they had to poop and pee on their bed. And some… Gary would call me and say, I've been sitting in a pool for 3 hours, so I called, at that point the Vice President of Nursing.
00:16:22.180 --> 00:16:34.599 Vicki Mizel: And I said, you know, this is the situation, this needs to be remedied, otherwise it's the N-word. Negligence. You say a word like that in a hospital, they just go too.
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.250 Frank R. Harrison: Jump.
00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:36.839 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, so we're about to…
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.110 Frank R. Harrison: No, go ahead. You can say?
00:16:39.270 --> 00:16:50.850 Vicki Mizel: Well, I became the voice… a powerful voice, not a mealy-mouse voice. Like, if I want something, like, can I get this? But to fight for my brother's life, it was…
00:16:51.070 --> 00:16:54.259 Vicki Mizel: I need this.
00:16:54.260 --> 00:17:10.010 Frank R. Harrison: Now, we're taking our first break, but when I come back, I have some comments based on what she just said, because I can identify with that very voice, which I've had to use on occasion this past year. Alright, please stay tuned right here on talkradio.nyc and on our socials, and we will do some more
00:17:10.010 --> 00:17:14.359 Frank R. Harrison: Disruption and, renewal. Alright, see you in a few.
00:19:26.710 --> 00:19:37.549 Frank R. Harrison: Hey, everybody, and welcome back. Now, the voice that Vicki was just discussing is that same voice that I had to do back in February, both at Retha Gray's memorial service.
00:19:37.550 --> 00:19:47.369 Frank R. Harrison: And it was more of a productive celebration of her life. That was not the problem in sharing how loud and boisterous I was gonna be about how Aretha is still with us.
00:19:47.390 --> 00:19:56.769 Frank R. Harrison: But it was loud and boisterous of me to be dealing with a nursing home that I placed my cousin in when they were actually neglecting her in front of my very eyes.
00:19:56.820 --> 00:20:02.389 Frank R. Harrison: And I had to pull out all my power of attorney documents and proxy documents and make threats.
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:08.470 Frank R. Harrison: as to how I was going to report them to the State Department of Health, just to get her moved into the right room.
00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:22.339 Frank R. Harrison: And I could see how they were so quick to make the changes happen overnight. I mean, I didn't even anticipate that was a reflection of me having a podcast on TalkRadio.nyc, but it was a reflection of
00:20:22.340 --> 00:20:40.009 Frank R. Harrison: They don't want to be sued, especially if you are confronting with the very truth that is probably happening in those kind of institutions, especially when they're either not funded properly, or not managed properly, or they basically know that when you're dealing with a fatal illness, or what is deemed fatal.
00:20:40.010 --> 00:20:57.239 Frank R. Harrison: they don't exactly do all the hyper-protections that people are more… most commonly able to treat, especially when there's medication or a treatment for it. And I guess that's what COVID created. I mean, one can then question, even though we lost 1.2 million people in this country alone.
00:20:57.810 --> 00:21:00.049 Frank R. Harrison: How many of them could have been prevented?
00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:02.889 Frank R. Harrison: We don't really know. We never really know.
00:21:03.130 --> 00:21:07.859 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, also, unmute before you make any other comment.
00:21:08.910 --> 00:21:15.919 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, one of the biggest problems in assisted living is people get hired without being properly trained as well.
00:21:16.410 --> 00:21:27.259 Frank R. Harrison: trained or vetted, or they're probably there as social workers who have already had a long career in other facilities, and they're trying to just do their due diligence to retire nicely, and…
00:21:27.260 --> 00:21:51.579 Frank R. Harrison: It's incredible that sometimes I would be talking with them and feel like I'm listening to an episode of Grey's Anatomy or General Hospital, depending on how silly the conversation is going. You know, but the thing is, is that I think having experienced those things, and as you having experienced it, that is what probably fueled my fire to come back to talk radio and create all of these targeted episodes
00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:57.010 Frank R. Harrison: That show, we've got disruption here, let's collectively decide how we are gonna change it.
00:21:57.010 --> 00:22:15.870 Frank R. Harrison: So the other episode that I also want to pay tribute to was when I did my 9-11 tribute episode and talked about how we were all getting misinformation on the COVID vaccine, as well as trying to get people to see that 9-11 is not only a time of reflecting on that horrible day.
00:22:15.870 --> 00:22:30.589 Frank R. Harrison: But it's a time to reflect on where you are now compared to where you were then, and have you gotten yourself in a better place, or is it worse, or is there some added lessons that you need? I try, in my own way, through my own life experience.
00:22:30.590 --> 00:22:38.159 Frank R. Harrison: to be able to say, okay, here's a problem, here's a crisis, I never wanted to have this crisis, but what am I gonna do about it?
00:22:38.210 --> 00:22:57.260 Frank R. Harrison: Especially when you live your life with an ongoing illness like epilepsy, I think all you learn is how to self-advocate. It becomes part of you, so maybe it was a natural process for me. But, I guess at the same time, a lot of people don't like to dwell on the negative, as they call it, especially if it's an illness that could be fatal.
00:22:57.260 --> 00:23:03.539 Frank R. Harrison: So, there's a lot of denial, and a lot of procrastination, and a lot of misinformation that is actually readily accepted.
00:23:03.550 --> 00:23:06.930 Frank R. Harrison: Rather than the truth, because it could be too painful to face.
00:23:07.510 --> 00:23:08.200 Frank R. Harrison: You know?
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:17.870 Vicki Mizel: Oh my gosh, that reminds me of two things. One, people whose family member have had dementia or Alzheimer's.
00:23:18.250 --> 00:23:25.500 Vicki Mizel: they're too scared to face that they could possibly get it and do something about it, like… like…
00:23:25.610 --> 00:23:30.939 Vicki Mizel: Start training themselves with memory now, not wait till you have a memory problem.
00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:31.550 Frank R. Harrison: Exactly.
00:23:31.550 --> 00:23:35.559 Vicki Mizel: And then I just lost a friend to,
00:23:36.170 --> 00:23:44.399 Vicki Mizel: He ended up in a situation where he was very, very depressed after a second divorce.
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:57.309 Vicki Mizel: And instead of getting therapy, instead of getting on an antidepressant, you know, which I advocate temporarily, and getting himself back into an exercise program, he let himself go.
00:23:57.530 --> 00:24:02.979 Vicki Mizel: He gained 100 pounds, that affected his heart, then he ended up with heart issues.
00:24:03.130 --> 00:24:11.519 Vicki Mizel: And, he wouldn't listen to the doctors. He… he was just in a state where he lost his self…
00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:17.469 Vicki Mizel: Worth his self-identification, his belief that he could get better.
00:24:17.710 --> 00:24:23.849 Vicki Mizel: And then, he was in the hospital numerous times, fell numerous times.
00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:32.299 Vicki Mizel: And just didn't… Get things going until about 2 months before he ended up passing away.
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:42.480 Vicki Mizel: And he passed away, really because of not listening to the doctors, not listening to himself, and not giving himself
00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:58.300 Vicki Mizel: the credit that he deserved of being worthy and still having a lot of gifts and talents, and that sometimes marriages don't work, although that's a big deal. Big, big deal. It's happening now to 50% of all the couples.
00:24:58.330 --> 00:25:03.289 Vicki Mizel: In the country, so you're not isolated, and you're not alone, and there's…
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:13.849 Vicki Mizel: actions, things you can do now. I mean, there is therapy, which 50 years ago, you had to be mentally ill to get therapy, and now it's just common.
00:25:14.020 --> 00:25:25.280 Vicki Mizel: I mean, I get therapy with my cat, you know? There's a communication issue, I call an animal advocate who happens to have a sixth sense, who…
00:25:25.280 --> 00:25:41.460 Vicki Mizel: helps smooth things out, or give me information, or even help calm the cat before an airplane trip. So… and, some people are now saying if their partner isn't willing to, when they get into tough spots.
00:25:41.530 --> 00:25:51.240 Vicki Mizel: be able to see a professional, it's a deal-breaker, because even the best relationships need help from time to time.
00:25:52.210 --> 00:25:53.470 Frank R. Harrison: Yes, yes.
00:25:53.640 --> 00:26:08.810 Frank R. Harrison: You know, it's very interesting, when you talk about relationships in that way, I think about another episode, it was a two-part episode, with a Mr. John Beyer, who actually was a survivor of alcoholism, and on one episode, he talks about how
00:26:08.810 --> 00:26:16.490 Frank R. Harrison: he was trying to succeed while being sober, while still in treatment, because he went to Alcoholics Anonymous.
00:26:16.540 --> 00:26:35.399 Frank R. Harrison: But the thing that was going on is that he was always being triggered by his past experiences, the feelings of neglect and abandonment from his own family, and yet, he just fueled the drive to prevent going back into alcoholism by creating a successful business called Men on the Move. And then he came back the second week.
00:26:35.550 --> 00:26:43.709 Frank R. Harrison: Because he wanted to point out that he also met the love of his life, gave birth… they together gave birth to a son with autism.
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:58.529 Frank R. Harrison: And instead of looking at it as, wow, I'll never bond with my son because of his sensory deprivation or whatever other conditions are on the spectrum, he instead was helping support his business called Spectrum Designs. That's an example of
00:26:58.530 --> 00:27:07.669 Frank R. Harrison: Okay, if you cannot have the relationship that you want based on the neurological limitations or your own addictions that you're trying to keep sober on.
00:27:07.670 --> 00:27:20.289 Frank R. Harrison: Then you just manufacture some system or some opportunity that allows you to have those relationships, even if they're not the way you expected them, but at least you don't feel like you're completely missing out.
00:27:20.350 --> 00:27:31.079 Frank R. Harrison: So, that kind of conversion is something that I wonder about. Do you see that going on with individuals that you have seen go through challenges like, like,
00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:37.049 Vicki Mizel: Well, making good use of what is, you know, that's where…
00:27:37.050 --> 00:27:53.690 Vicki Mizel: I recognize if you're going through something like alcoholism, and every night you want to drink, want to drink, want to drink, and what's underneath that is a perception of something that you think should not have happened, or was terrible to witness.
00:27:54.470 --> 00:28:05.969 Vicki Mizel: I think that having a vision, a higher vision of something that you really want to see, but not a hope, wish, want, but actually see the end result of it.
00:28:06.270 --> 00:28:10.690 Vicki Mizel: And then be able to take the steps toward that end result.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:21.269 Vicki Mizel: can help. I also think there's a product on the market now, which is really catching fire, but it's called NAD.
00:28:21.470 --> 00:28:36.779 Vicki Mizel: NAD is a vitamin nutrient that has been used, well, originally for people who were in detox, and what it does is it helps you not
00:28:37.060 --> 00:28:50.479 Vicki Mizel: not have the symptoms of when you're detoxing, like the DTs, or, any kind of, shaking, or discomfort, or sleeplessness, but what it also does
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:59.849 Vicki Mizel: Is it actually can help your brain go to the incident that's been causing the running, running, drugging, drugging, running, running feeling.
00:29:00.310 --> 00:29:06.349 Vicki Mizel: And see it from a new perspective, like a new perception.
00:29:07.010 --> 00:29:14.499 Vicki Mizel: And realize that what this thing is that you thought was so awful and terrible had nothing to do with you.
00:29:15.010 --> 00:29:21.840 Vicki Mizel: And that you're okay, and then you can kind of let that literally dissolve.
00:29:22.110 --> 00:29:31.719 Vicki Mizel: And as long as you never go back to that drug or that alcohol, you will not end up having a problem.
00:29:31.830 --> 00:29:33.290 Vicki Mizel: You can actually…
00:29:33.390 --> 00:29:47.629 Vicki Mizel: continue your life. So, NAD, I'm a huge fan of NAD. If you can get it through IV, that's the most powerful way, like, once a week for 6 weeks, or every day for 10 days if you're in a detox program.
00:29:47.750 --> 00:29:56.789 Vicki Mizel: And then from there, you can supplement it. And it's, healthy longevity, it's good for the brain, but it also detoxes the body.
00:29:56.940 --> 00:30:05.630 Vicki Mizel: But yeah, to succumb… To something problematic that's happened in the past, and eat too much.
00:30:05.780 --> 00:30:09.620 Vicki Mizel: Go out on binges is never gonna help you.
00:30:09.970 --> 00:30:13.689 Vicki Mizel: It's just not… so, to have a substitute.
00:30:13.890 --> 00:30:32.509 Vicki Mizel: To be able to stay aligned with your vision, or write out your vision. Write out the feelings, the qualities and values, how you see yourself living your life, a day in the life of this new vision, and reminding yourself of that can actually shift the brain.
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:39.139 Frank R. Harrison: Yes, yes. And when we return, I'm going to start the next segment with a scene from
00:30:39.310 --> 00:30:41.020 Frank R. Harrison: Sting your way to health.
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:58.399 Frank R. Harrison: about John Fulbright and his use of bee venom in terms of overcoming Lyme disease, and now coming as a treatment practice of his for people with dementia, knee pain, arthritis, and other kinds of issues. That's an example of having a vision.
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:14.050 Frank R. Harrison: Which, ironically, when we come back, I'll tell you a little backstory on that episode, because his vision was really gods sent through a bolt of lightning. Wow. So, we'll get back to you right here on talkradio.nyc and all of our socials in just a few.
00:33:05.520 --> 00:33:24.160 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Because when you do bee venom, the way that I tell folks to look at it is it's essentially, by using bee venom, you're chiseling away at the bacterias while strengthening the immune system. Bee venom has a long history of being proven to be a neurotransmitter, neuro-restorative, neuroprotective.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.709 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: I work on all kinds of fibromyalgia, MS,
00:33:27.710 --> 00:33:32.089 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Many of these cases, actually, fibromyalgia, MS,
00:33:32.090 --> 00:33:55.380 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: They are actually considered undiagnosed Lyme disease. Now, there are a lot of differences, but sometimes it's hard to tell if it's MS or if it's Lyme, because they both create different damage to the nerves. Right. And so… and this is why I'm offering my system, my body, my wife too, we're looking to see if we can join into clinical trials that fit.
00:33:55.380 --> 00:33:58.730 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: So that we can actually get more answers.
00:33:58.740 --> 00:34:07.310 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: The bees have been shown in vivo, in vitro, to, basically paralyze the Lyme infections.
00:34:07.310 --> 00:34:31.169 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: and the different bacterium that are in there, and then it also strengthens the immune system. Being highly anti-inflammatory, it's over 100 times stronger than cortisone, and because of this neurotransmitter element, it gets the body communicating with itself better. And I've seen amazing things in myself. I was having paralysis in my legs, I was developing Bell's palsy in my face.
00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:46.460 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And as I lightly did the beaving, I'm very, very gently, not full sting therapy all the time, but I do do that. But, the light doses, I would find that my nerves would be restored, and I'd get the muscle strength would come back.
00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:53.000 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: the Bell's palsy would go away. I've had patients that had gastroparesis for over 20 years.
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:59.639 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And had lost their gut function and their peristolic action, and we add 20 to 30 bees, and they start
00:34:59.640 --> 00:35:05.419 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: having bowel movements again. So it's very powerful, and again, you know.
00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:12.639 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: not everything works for everyone, and it's kind of, you know, when we approach it in the Hoshindo method with the bees.
00:35:12.670 --> 00:35:30.849 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: it's not always more. Sometimes it's a lot… less is better, so we treat it as almost a homeopathic, where if you do too much venom, it can stress out the adrenals, it can… it's painful if you're getting lots of stings all the time, but if you do it lightly in the right places, and you address the circulation of the system.
00:35:30.850 --> 00:35:39.210 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: like in the Chinese medicine, that's really what Hoshindo is. It's basically ancient meridian apotherapy, so it's using bees instead of needles.
00:35:39.210 --> 00:35:44.010 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: And the stimulus is the venom, because it's a foreign protein in the body.
00:35:50.120 --> 00:35:56.770 Frank R. Harrison: Okay, I call this section Health, Innovation, and
00:35:57.370 --> 00:36:13.619 Frank R. Harrison: healing. And basically, that was a very unique episode with, John Fulbright, another referral from Sam Leibowitz. Thank you again, Sam. And basically, it kind of echoed what you just said in the last segment, Vicki, which was, is that if you have the vision.
00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:24.149 Frank R. Harrison: Then you can create your own solutions if the medical system itself is not helping because of their own limited resources, or as we're all going through today in our society, limited funding.
00:36:24.170 --> 00:36:32.020 Frank R. Harrison: You know, so that being said, when I heard his experience, which he shares in that episode of Frank About Health.
00:36:32.040 --> 00:36:47.369 Frank R. Harrison: he was actually doing, some hiking or mountain climbing, and, thunder and lightning started, and he got struck by lightning and ended up with Lyme disease. And he didn't have a cure for the symptoms that were affecting his memory.
00:36:47.370 --> 00:36:56.849 Frank R. Harrison: they were giving him fatigue that were affecting his, you know, swelling in the legs and his other limbs and stuff like that. He just discovered, through research.
00:36:56.850 --> 00:37:07.370 Frank R. Harrison: That put some bees that he was raising honeycombs, you know, that sting you with their honey, and all of a sudden, energy came back, his immune system response was
00:37:07.370 --> 00:37:17.749 Frank R. Harrison: was thorough again. It didn't happen, like, literally overnight. It probably took 2 years. But there was a lot of research and advocacy, and within his region.
00:37:18.620 --> 00:37:30.449 Frank R. Harrison: which I keep confusing myself if it's Colorado or Utah. I have to go back in time and find out. But, there was support within that whole region that he was in.
00:37:30.450 --> 00:37:40.749 Frank R. Harrison: that he was able to start getting a movement together of people looking to raise funds for bee venom therapy for things like Alzheimer's disease.
00:37:40.750 --> 00:37:51.259 Frank R. Harrison: for even things like COVID, and I know he had a chance to also talk with my father about possibly helping with his cancer. So, the thing is, is that I…
00:37:51.320 --> 00:38:02.079 Frank R. Harrison: I'm the type that would believe in it as a trial. In fact, I'm trying to make room to actually try it on myself with my ongoing knee pain that I have.
00:38:02.130 --> 00:38:20.029 Frank R. Harrison: versus having surgery, which I don't anticipate having. But, at the same time, I will say, if it works on that, then I would believe in everything else that he has talked about on that show. But, you know what's really, sad, Vicki, in this case? While he's at a precipice in being able to secure the funding.
00:38:20.080 --> 00:38:26.640 Frank R. Harrison: Our own administration is preventing those kinds of alternative treatments from being funded.
00:38:26.970 --> 00:38:40.610 Frank R. Harrison: And that in itself is just a crying shame, because it's like what I was saying on my tribute show to 9-11. People are, for some reason, being misinformed that mRNA is not a good vaccine unless you're a certain age.
00:38:40.610 --> 00:38:48.059 Frank R. Harrison: No, mRNA is what stopped the pandemic from taking full force in 2022 and beyond.
00:38:48.090 --> 00:39:03.460 Frank R. Harrison: You know, anything that's new, for some reason, frightens people, but I'm a firm believer, especially from the way you handled your brother's illness with COVID, that if your instinct is screaming louder than what noise you're hearing, you go with that.
00:39:04.190 --> 00:39:19.779 Frank R. Harrison: You know, and I think if there's anything you can echo what I just said to make it like a stamp, a gold stamp, so people will just trust their instincts better, please feel free, say what it is that you can right now to make people go over and fight for their own health.
00:39:20.540 --> 00:39:25.120 Vicki Mizel: Well, you know, I was watching, episode… reruns of Scandal.
00:39:25.430 --> 00:39:36.549 Vicki Mizel: And she says, I always trust my gut. I always trust my gut. My gut knows. So, you know, I made mistakes in the past when I didn't listen to my intuition.
00:39:36.670 --> 00:39:53.990 Vicki Mizel: You know, I would… everyone would say, go for logic, go for your logic, don't listen to your intuition, but, you know, I've been a fan now of Howard Wills for about 20 years, and he says, no, go with your intuition, go with your heart.
00:39:54.230 --> 00:40:06.950 Vicki Mizel: Your heart, and then the more studies they've found when you're in the… when you're in utero, the embryo, actually the heart and the brain are right next to each other.
00:40:07.190 --> 00:40:08.430 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, and then…
00:40:08.430 --> 00:40:09.050 Frank R. Harrison: See, I knew…
00:40:09.050 --> 00:40:28.040 Vicki Mizel: develop, then you get the spine and then the gut. So the gut and the heart and the brain were once all very, very closely connected to each other when you first are developing as a baby. So that's what you trust. Your gut, your heart, and your
00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:29.939 Vicki Mizel: your intuition.
00:40:30.790 --> 00:40:35.079 Frank R. Harrison: That is interesting because, again, I had no idea about that.
00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:53.740 Frank R. Harrison: Until you just said it, but now it makes sense to me why the intuition is larger than what most people believe it or make it out to be. Because when you're in utero, you can't communicate with anyone other than your literal self, and your… how you feel with your heart.
00:40:53.890 --> 00:41:07.819 Frank R. Harrison: how you process with your brain, and I guess also, your actual physical gut, which is where you're taking in a lot of food from the placenta and the cord.
00:41:08.290 --> 00:41:13.889 Frank R. Harrison: That's the only 9 months of communication. That's when you really can know your best self.
00:41:14.230 --> 00:41:14.880 Frank R. Harrison: You know?
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:24.359 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, and really, the best doctors are the ones who trust their instincts and their intuition. I just want to say one thing, sure.
00:41:24.590 --> 00:41:25.360 Vicki Mizel: Head!
00:41:25.550 --> 00:41:31.100 Vicki Mizel: When my brother went to the hospital originally, because he thought he was dehydrated.
00:41:31.290 --> 00:41:41.130 Vicki Mizel: It was just good luck that someone at the hospital saw him start to decompensate and said, wait, we can't release him.
00:41:41.380 --> 00:41:50.399 Vicki Mizel: So, had he gone home, he would have, you know, ended up not being able to breathe, he would have died. So the medical community…
00:41:50.600 --> 00:42:02.019 Vicki Mizel: is what saved him initially. You know, they kept him, they got him on a respirator, so it was the medical support that got him
00:42:02.020 --> 00:42:12.970 Vicki Mizel: and then when I came in, then I added to the immune system, the physical strength. So, I'm really a component of both medical
00:42:12.990 --> 00:42:25.919 Vicki Mizel: and the alternative. You know, my mom used to say, if you have a headache, take an aspirin, but take vitamin E and vitamin A with it. So, it… whatever the aspirin does to your body, you're… you're…
00:42:26.210 --> 00:42:30.080 Vicki Mizel: You're, you know, helping assuage that.
00:42:30.370 --> 00:42:45.579 Vicki Mizel: So, I don't want to tell people, no, no, don't listen to your doctor, per se. Go with what's normal. Go with your doctor, go with what the steps are, and then if they say there's nothing more we can do.
00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:50.060 Vicki Mizel: Then you go do more than they can do, because…
00:42:50.120 --> 00:43:01.600 Vicki Mizel: Everyone has a limitation, a specialization, but they don't know everything. But you, as a self, kind of know everything.
00:43:01.660 --> 00:43:13.030 Vicki Mizel: Because that's just sort of how God made our brain, you know, to have all-knowingness. That's why people meditate, that's why people do chanting, that's why people…
00:43:13.030 --> 00:43:26.339 Vicki Mizel: have mantras and sounds and things like that, so that you're actually diving deeper into that true knowingness in yourself, like Siddhartha, when he found Atman, and he became the…
00:43:26.560 --> 00:43:40.729 Vicki Mizel: the ferry boatman, you know, this man who had absolute knowledge, and between taking somebody from one side of the island on the ferry boat, they would be transformed. So you… We're about to take.
00:43:41.330 --> 00:43:49.589 Frank R. Harrison: We're about to take our final break, but just to end this section on a final quote from another Shondalan series that we both like, Grey's Anatomy.
00:43:49.640 --> 00:44:09.439 Frank R. Harrison: You always can find your person to reflect what you're feeling, but at the end of the day, it is always knowing your own gut first, because at the, you know, when we reframe it, that the medical system does help to a point, and they say there's nothing left we can do, some might say, like, even on Grey's Anatomy.
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:21.880 Frank R. Harrison: It's all left up to God, right? Or, it's really left up to having the kind of emotional and spiritual support that you showed your brother on what was deemed his final hours.
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:39.829 Frank R. Harrison: And it is that push that most people are just unaware to either approach, to ask for, or whatever. And I think that's what feeds or fosters the continued misinformation in the media to kind of reinforce that you're not supposed to listen to your intuition, you're supposed to listen to what
00:44:40.720 --> 00:44:49.780 Frank R. Harrison: whomever is trying to control the narrative. And that… that's just… you know, you have to keep a firewall between the distractions and the noise and your gut.
00:44:50.070 --> 00:45:06.739 Vicki Mizel: Yeah, know yourself, use the Bs, use acupuncture, use nutrition, use food, and recognize there is a movement. Frank is starting the movement. The movement is listen to yourself, ultimately.
00:45:07.050 --> 00:45:23.009 Frank R. Harrison: And we will wrap up this episode of Frank About Health so I can enlighten others on other episodes that we had done, as well as discuss a little bit more about that movement, and wrap up. And thanks again, Vicki. We'll be back in a few.
00:45:23.010 --> 00:45:24.110 Vicki Mizel: My pleasure.
00:47:09.200 --> 00:47:13.640 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: kitchen. I have a patient that,
00:47:14.450 --> 00:47:22.040 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Has a slight dementia. And… we are gonna prepare today a salad for him.
00:47:22.600 --> 00:47:47.119 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: that will benefit his brain and function. We're gonna start with the garbanzo beans. As you see here, they are rich in nutrients like folate, iron, magnesium, and zinc. Folate aids in brain development and cognitive function. Magnesium supports
00:47:47.120 --> 00:47:54.080 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: nerve function. Then we have the tomatoes, which are packed with lycopene and…
00:47:56.430 --> 00:48:21.110 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: An antioxidant that protects brain cells from damage, reduces inflammation, and enhances communication between neurons, potentially improving memory, learning, and mood. Then we have the cucumber, which is high in water content, helping with hydration, which
00:48:21.110 --> 00:48:44.929 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: which is important for overall health and brain function. Then we have our onions, which contain flavonoids, which are plant compounds that can improve blood flow to the brain, potentially boosting focus and concentration, and may lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
00:48:44.930 --> 00:49:08.269 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: Then we have our cilantro. Which contains antioxidants and flavonoids that may reduce brain inflammation, improve memory, and ease anxiety symptoms. And with that, we have garlic for flavor.
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:10.369 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: We have oregano.
00:49:10.870 --> 00:49:20.069 Audio shared by Frank R. Harrison: salt and salt and pepper for flavor. Okay? So now we're gonna put our salad together.
00:49:25.750 --> 00:49:39.919 Frank R. Harrison: Okay, so that was another refreshing and nutritious episode of Frank About Health that we covered this season. It actually gained popularity, with one of our sister shows, The Expansion Room, that we were featured again.
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:47.769 Frank R. Harrison: On the expansion room, I was the guest, we were talking about mental health and nutrition, and he made an almond-crusted salmon recipe.
00:49:47.790 --> 00:50:04.729 Frank R. Harrison: Of which I have a picture, but because of the concern of time that we have left, I'm gonna leave that up to everyone's imagination. Or maybe what I'll do is when the show ends, I'll just have that as the closing shot, you know, to make everyone get ready for dinner. But that all being said, that was another example
00:50:04.730 --> 00:50:13.540 Frank R. Harrison: Of showing that when you are dealing with something that is uncontrollable, or rather, not as completely manageable as dementia.
00:50:13.780 --> 00:50:32.829 Frank R. Harrison: That there is the strength of nutrition, and just being able to know what are the foods that are gonna help liven up the blood flow in the amyloid protein areas of the brain, the neurotransmitters, or even what is it that's going to help with your depression, or your anxiety, or other kinds of
00:50:32.830 --> 00:50:39.800 Frank R. Harrison: of actual limbic system responses that you might be experiencing from PTSD, or things like that.
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:53.149 Frank R. Harrison: And, I would have to say that in the last 6 months, I have really valued nutrition above all the medications that I take, in addition to vaccines and stuff like that. I think when we are given misinformation.
00:50:53.700 --> 00:51:08.609 Frank R. Harrison: the only true information comes from within your own knowledge and experience, and going forward into 2026, which is what you dubbed my movement, I want everyone to be involved in advocating for their own healthcare, as well as
00:51:08.610 --> 00:51:18.970 Frank R. Harrison: the healthcare of their loved ones, especially if they're caregivers. And so, next week's episode, or season premiere, is going to show that movement in action.
00:51:18.970 --> 00:51:27.940 Frank R. Harrison: I know I keep it very cryptic and very secretive, but it kinda couples with the work that I've already done on TalkRadio.nyc.
00:51:27.940 --> 00:51:42.140 Frank R. Harrison: Which is to not only do the episodes of Frank About Health and feature guests like yourself, Vicki, but also the documentary that has finally been released on YouTube, but I'm gonna do a whole campaign around driving traffic to see…
00:51:42.960 --> 00:52:00.520 Frank R. Harrison: you know, the documentary on the YouTube page, because unfortunately, it was gonna be seen on a bigger screen at Hilton Hotels, but you know what? We start small, and then we get to where we need to go when the time is right. That's the way to spin it in my mind, so I don't feel like it was a disruption that I could not come back from.
00:52:00.740 --> 00:52:01.559 Frank R. Harrison: You know?
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:14.890 Frank R. Harrison: I think, if anything, I also wanted to point out there was another episode I did on Frank About Health with Otho Eskin, an individual at age 91 that was a playwright, and writing political thriller novels, and still.
00:52:14.940 --> 00:52:28.379 Frank R. Harrison: selling books at a rapid pace. He was an individual who said that with his experience in the Foreign Service, in the military, in Washington, D.C, he just never experienced a trauma or a disappointment. He just went forward with what his gut
00:52:28.380 --> 00:52:35.190 Frank R. Harrison: Was telling him to do with his service to his nation, as well as how he wanted to get involved in the arts.
00:52:35.190 --> 00:52:43.749 Frank R. Harrison: For, you know, just appreciation of the people that he read, and the authors that he would like to see, you know, probably on the big screen.
00:52:43.750 --> 00:52:52.579 Frank R. Harrison: And, I think there was also an example of a woman that I had named Annie Guest, who wrote an entire book with pictures on it.
00:52:52.580 --> 00:53:09.639 Frank R. Harrison: showing when her parents died and she was their caregiver, she was undergoing such grief that the way she recovered from it was redecorating the home that she inherited from them, and then she became an interior designer. So, these are, again, more and more lessons of taking disruption.
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:16.919 Frank R. Harrison: And using your own inner strength and inner abilities to make it be a chapter that you move forward from.
00:53:17.710 --> 00:53:24.770 Frank R. Harrison: You know, I think I've covered the episodes that I… that I did. If I'm missing it, John Beyer, I mentioned, actually.
00:53:25.010 --> 00:53:36.740 Frank R. Harrison: He was promoting his book, Live a Better Life. This is available on Amazon.com. And then everyone must remember, I mentioned Marshall Rungi earlier, the great healthcare disruption.
00:53:36.740 --> 00:53:45.590 Frank R. Harrison: This is a must-have book for 2026. Remember, I had a 4-week book campaign on Frank About Health to promote it.
00:53:46.290 --> 00:53:57.590 Frank R. Harrison: I hope that I've covered everything, we still have some time left. Yes, Vicki, I want you now to take the final recap of the show and talk about your books.
00:53:57.980 --> 00:53:59.180 Frank R. Harrison: After you unmute.
00:54:03.900 --> 00:54:04.550 Frank R. Harrison: Okay.
00:54:04.550 --> 00:54:08.300 Vicki Mizel: This book is a result of my…
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:24.680 Vicki Mizel: vision, when a filmmaker said to me that we're working on the… the film, A Sisters Love, and she said, weren't you going to say goodbye to your brother flying to New York to say goodbye? I said, never.
00:54:24.810 --> 00:54:31.350 Vicki Mizel: I never went to say goodbye. I only went to save him, you know, like Mighty Mouse.
00:54:31.720 --> 00:54:44.290 Vicki Mizel: And, although I didn't visualize the picture of the book, I did picture Gary walking out of the hospital happy and well, listening to music.
00:54:44.590 --> 00:54:51.420 Vicki Mizel: This is him dying, this is him just relaxing at home, and this was…
00:54:51.590 --> 00:54:58.130 Vicki Mizel: one of the team members of Mount Sinai Hospital that really helped
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:02.060 Vicki Mizel: Help my brother get well, along with my help.
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:14.040 Vicki Mizel: So, I'd say in… in the end, my… holding a vision of what you want, and thinking of yourself as an Olympic athlete.
00:55:14.290 --> 00:55:25.020 Vicki Mizel: Think of yourself as an Olympic athlete. Keep your focus there, do the action steps that you need to do, don't give up. Definitely rest.
00:55:25.170 --> 00:55:30.809 Vicki Mizel: Recharge, go back again, have your protein at every meal.
00:55:31.170 --> 00:55:38.219 Vicki Mizel: try to stay away from the sweets, and like my friend Lynn said, she's over 100 now, and she said.
00:55:38.670 --> 00:55:41.169 Vicki Mizel: I don't know how I got here.
00:55:41.230 --> 00:55:43.680 Frank R. Harrison: She said, it's not my jeans.
00:55:43.730 --> 00:56:02.879 Vicki Mizel: But what it is, is her caregiver is feeding her nutrition, vitamins, medicine, lots of ground beef, turkey, chicken. She's eating homemade meals almost every single night, and vegetables and fresh fruits.
00:56:03.190 --> 00:56:10.440 Vicki Mizel: And that's how she became 100, and she's exercising. You know, she exercises Pilates.
00:56:10.560 --> 00:56:20.009 Vicki Mizel: Yoga, boxing, dancing, so it's… and really, it's… she said it's her interest in people.
00:56:20.180 --> 00:56:22.710 Vicki Mizel: She's interested in others.
00:56:22.820 --> 00:56:36.510 Vicki Mizel: And her own creativity, she loves performing, she loves singing, she loves acting. She's always busy, her mind is always working. Not busy stuff, but purposeful. Purposeful activity, so…
00:56:37.310 --> 00:56:38.859 Frank R. Harrison: That's what I say.
00:56:39.520 --> 00:56:52.630 Frank R. Harrison: Well, ladies and gentlemen, there was one other episode that I had not mentioned, and that featured Anshar Serafim, who was here to show how he's lived a very productive life as an engineer from multiple businesses.
00:56:52.630 --> 00:57:08.239 Frank R. Harrison: Given that he was nonverbal to the age of 11 with autism spectrum disorder, and then on top of that, has sensory deprivation disorder that requires him to be constantly wearing earphones in order to avoid the external noise so he can function.
00:57:08.240 --> 00:57:24.770 Frank R. Harrison: But he has become so productive with his life that, as a result, he is going to be my featured guest next Thursday as I launch my season premiere of Frank About Health that will focus on the movement that Vicki alluded to, which I am calling the Voices of Disruption series.
00:57:24.770 --> 00:57:39.090 Frank R. Harrison: All of my guests during those 12 episodes will be voices of disruption, how they've advocated through their books, how they've advocated through their methodologies and treatment plans, and then, in turn, everyone will get to see
00:57:39.680 --> 00:57:48.770 Frank R. Harrison: How I am gonna take this to the next level in combating the challenge that we all face in 2026, when our premiums go sky high.
00:57:49.060 --> 00:58:02.190 Frank R. Harrison: And I reintroduce a product that I had launched about 15 years ago, but with the help of a lot of individuals that I have been talking with over the last 10 days. That, I will leave open to the episode itself.
00:58:02.390 --> 00:58:11.250 Frank R. Harrison: Vicki, I want to thank you for being on this episode, this recap of the last season, especially the story of you and your brother when we began the show.
00:58:11.340 --> 00:58:18.330 Frank R. Harrison: I am publicly inviting you to be my correspondent when we have critical times that we need to discuss.
00:58:18.330 --> 00:58:37.209 Frank R. Harrison: I like to mirror, sometimes, what is going on in the media without, why I have my disclaimers, without creating any kind of controversies that could lead me to the fate that Jimmy Kimmel faced for about a week, even though he's back on air. In my view, if you're not a Jimmy Kimmel fan, that's okay.
00:58:37.210 --> 00:58:41.510 Frank R. Harrison: But I am very grateful that the First Amendment was preserved.
00:58:41.510 --> 00:58:53.829 Frank R. Harrison: And that is what I'm trying to do on Frank About Health. I'm trying to use our ability to have free speech, to take your agency over your gut, your instincts, and advocating for your healthcare.
00:58:53.840 --> 00:59:09.809 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, thank you, Jesse, behind the scenes for engineering this show. And, even though this is the logo for iHeartRadio, this is my way of saying to Sam, iHeartTalkRadio.nyc, thank you for hosting the last 6 months of From Disruption…
00:59:09.930 --> 00:59:18.689 Frank R. Harrison: to renewal, and I'm going to make sure that the next 12 weeks into holiday time are going to be a win for all of us, and especially you, Vicki.
00:59:18.690 --> 00:59:22.760 Vicki Mizel: So… Thank you, it's my honor to be here. I'm so thrilled. Thank you.
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:29.760 Frank R. Harrison: Oh, you're very welcome, and I wish I had time to show you the salmon recipe, but,
00:59:29.950 --> 00:59:30.620 Frank R. Harrison: Thank you.
00:59:30.620 --> 00:59:33.300 Vicki Mizel: Nice, crisp, and delicious.
00:59:33.890 --> 00:59:51.370 Frank R. Harrison: Yes, and also, well, actually, wait a minute, that's right. I think we do have time, so I'm gonna say I'm signing off now, and when the music plays, Jesse, behind the scenes, keep the screen active so that I can show the picture, and then log us all off. And I will call you soon, Vicki, as soon as I get off the phone.
00:59:51.520 --> 00:59:53.930 Frank R. Harrison: Alright, thanks again, see you next week.
