Introduction

In this enlightening episode of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly engages in a deep and unfiltered conversation with Dr. Pete Goldman, a seasoned chiropractor renowned for his innovative approach to healing. Dr. Goldman delves into the often-overlooked aspects of true healing, emphasizing the critical role of the subconscious mind and challenging conventional medical paradigms.

Dr. Pete Goldman’s Journey and Philosophy

Background and Early Influences
Dr. Goldman shares his unique upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, where his family favored natural healing methods over traditional medical practices. Exposed to naturopathy, homeopathy, and chiropractic care from a young age, he initially pursued an economics degree before transitioning to chiropractic studies post-college.

“I kind of just grew up under that umbrella of natural healing. It never occurred to me to do it. I didn't want to be a chiropractor. I didn't want to be a doctor.” ([00:36])

Transition from Chiropractor to Master Healer
While Dr. Goldman respects the chiropractic profession, he explains his divergence towards a more holistic approach that transcends conventional chiropractic techniques. This path led him to develop the Zone Technique and establish the Zone School of Healing in 2017.

The Subconscious Mind: The Core of Healing

Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind
Dr. Goldman elucidates the distinction between the conscious and subconscious mind, emphasizing that much of our healing processes are governed by subconscious beliefs and perceptions.

“A common denominator of healing is the mindset of the person getting healed.” ([06:49])

Impact on Health and Disease
He argues that the subconscious mind significantly influences physical health, often more so than the conscious mind. For instance, deeply ingrained beliefs from childhood can manifest as chronic illnesses in adulthood.

“90% plus of what manifests in the body is from the emotions.” ([40:46])

Practical Applications: Healing Beyond the Physical

Case Study: Asthma and Chiropractic Care
Dr. Goldman provides a detailed example of asthma treatment through chiropractic adjustments, specifically focusing on the T3 vertebra. He contrasts this approach with traditional medical treatments and acupuncture, highlighting the power of addressing subconscious factors in healing.

“The idea of perfect digestion can go into the subconscious of the patient.” ([15:14])

The Placebo Effect and Imagination
Exploring the placebo effect, Dr. Goldman emphasizes that imagination and belief can often surpass willpower in facilitating healing. He shares compelling studies and anecdotes demonstrating how belief alone can trigger significant physiological changes.

“Imagination always beats will.” ([13:07])

Challenging Conventional Medical Practices

Misdiagnosis and Medical Limitations
Dr. Goldman critiques the traditional medical approach, particularly the reliance on diagnoses, which he claims are often inaccurate and can lead to unnecessary medical interventions.

“Diagnosis means 'two that don’t know' in Latin.” ([48:48])

Irony in Medical Specializations
He points out the irony in medical professionals often falling victim to the very ailments they specialize in, underscoring the necessity of addressing subconscious factors in maintaining health.

“If you go find 10 gastroenterologists, they all have digestive problems.” ([41:03])

Zone School of Healing: Expanding the Reach of True Healing

Establishing the School
In 2017, recognizing the growing demand for holistic healing, Dr. Goldman founded the Zone School of Healing. This institution offers online and in-person programs aimed at training medical professionals and healers to incorporate subconscious healing techniques into their practices.

“Anyone who is a chiropractor or any doctor or healer can join my school.” ([35:29])

Global Impact and Reach
With over 1,500 members worldwide across five continents, the Zone School of Healing has significantly amplified Dr. Goldman’s impact, enabling practitioners globally to adopt his methods and improve their healing effectiveness.

“We have about 1500 doctors and healers worldwide as members.” ([35:23])

Emotional Health: The Foundation of Physical Well-being

Emotional Stress as the Primary Cause of Disease
Dr. Goldman asserts that emotional stress accounts for the vast majority of diseases, far surpassing physical and chemical stressors. He advocates for a balanced emotional state as essential for optimal health.

“90% plus of what manifests in the body is from the emotions.” ([40:46])

Techniques to Balance Emotions
He discusses various methods, including hypnosis and rapport-building, to access and modify subconscious beliefs, thereby facilitating physical healing.

“A master healer will know how to identify what's in the subconscious in regards to health or disease.” ([12:19])

Real-World Examples and Success Stories

Knee Surgery Placebo Study
Dr. Goldman references a remarkable study where patients who underwent placebo knee surgeries reported similar improvement rates to those who received actual surgeries, illustrating the profound impact of belief on healing.

“They both had like a 64% rate. That is crazy.” ([20:57])

Case of Fibromyalgia and Carpal Tunnel
He shares instances where patients diagnosed with conditions like fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome achieved full recovery through his techniques, questioning the validity and necessity of certain medical diagnoses.

“All my students will... someone has IBS... we fixed them up totally.” ([47:06])

Conclusion and Final Insights

Results Over Theories
Dr. Goldman emphasizes that tangible results in healing are paramount, surpassing theoretical knowledge or personal charisma. His approach is rooted in producing measurable outcomes for patients through subconscious healing techniques.

“Results trump everything. The results from the kind of healing knowledge that I'm teaching is unparalleled.” ([49:06])

Invitation to Learn and Transform
He invites medical professionals and healers to join the Zone School of Healing to enhance their healing capabilities, promising unparalleled effectiveness in treating a wide range of health issues.

“Anyone who is a chiropractor, medical doctor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, Reiki master energy healer... can join my school.” ([35:29])
