I’m glad you were forthcoming about your gout and alcoholism! How wonderful you are no longer in that kind of a situation! Your testimony can also maybe help someone else get off this path of alcoholism and on to a better pathway! Bless you!
Congratulations! I was a caregiver for my mom with dementia for 10 years. In 2015, I was prescribed Alprazolam for stress and insomnia. My mom passed in December of 2019. If you don't mind my asking, how did you taper off? I take 1.5 mg at bedtime and it's time. Any input would be great.
Well done! I’m fortunate that despite taking an extraordinary amount of opiates, I have tapered off of them several times. I’ve taken benzos on and off for years, too. I don’t know why, but I don’t seem to form a full addiction to them. There’s a physiological dependence, but as long as I have good pain control, I can taper off relatively easily. I know how extraordinarily hard it can be for some, I admire your tenacity!
@@alcambrola2834Alprazolam should be tapered under medical supervision, OK? You don’t want to send your BP into stroke-ville. This is not an infrequent medical challenge at all and it’s better to be safe-no one’s gonna judge you! Your health care person is gonna help you do this safely. Best wishes, my friend.
@@alcambrola2834 Be very very careful tapering yourself off benzodiazepines. I quit cold turkey many years ago and nearly died from the withdrawals but I was taking much more than your listed amount. Definitely discuss adjusting the dosage lower and lower with your prescribing doctor to closely monitor tapering yourself. Only 2 withdrawals you can pass away from are benzodiazepines and alcohol so it should be done under medical supervision if possible, you got this!!
Thank you for using that documentary as a topic. Today marks 18 months sober for me and, I was shocked to see how sick she was and how none of her followers thought she needed help. Thank you for being honest about your alcoholism. Many people don't realize that it's that kind of honesty that helps other people get sober.
As soon as I saw her I wondered if she had been drinking silver. In my 35 years as a nurse I only took care of one man who had been drinking large amounts of the silver solution. He was a mess, from the time I met him he lived about a year. Really a shame, he was a very nice guy with a devoted wife and children. I'll never forget that shiny silver blue coloring of his skin.
@wololeiro2364 bizarre is right, he thought the silver solution was going to make him healthier. All he was doing was giving himself a slow death from heavy metal poisoning. He was in liver, and kidney failure and managed to make it for a year on dialysis.
Yep. Colloidal silver definitely had a huge uptick in the 90s and he was riding that wave, but he was making his own, so his dosage was ridiculously high compared to OTC supplements meant to support your immune system (though I doubt there is much, if any, research on if or how this works). He was Smurfy.
@MrsBrit1 Just out of curiosity I did a search on UA-cam for colloidal silver. I was amazed by how many people have posted videos on do it yourself electrolysis for the silver solution. Absolutely no way to determine what the silver content is on their completed concoctions. If this was ever to catch on big time, we'd be seeing a lot more smurfs walking around. Temporarily. What's the old saying, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". May as well be drinking arsenic.
When you no longer trust or even afford medical care ..you do everything you can to heal yourself . Colloidal silver is know as a " natural antibiotic" .
Thank you for all you do. I’m an alcoholic with gout. Six years sober and the gout rarely bothers me now. Gout is one of the most painful things you can experience in life.
Congratulations on your sobriety! Eight years is a huge accomplishment. I just hit my 29th year (I was 20 the last time I used). I will have to watch the documentary. I live in CO where the cult ended up. There are always rumors of cults here due to how much of the state is sparsely populated. This one was pretty unusual.
Congradulations on your 29 year thats awsome 👏👏👏🙌🏾 god is good ive been sober 5 years on the 20th of March I have learned to live again the days look brighter thanks to the good lord I could not have done this without him now I try to reach as much people as I can with my story god bless you🙏🙏🙏
My maternal grandmother had cirrhosis of the liver. The woman never drank a day in her life & the doctors were yelling at her to tell the truth about her “alcoholism”. If it weren’t for my parents & the rest of the sisters & brother in laws, they would have kept treating her like crap. This was back in 1990, hopefully things have changed on the outlook of liver disease.
Same thing was happening to my mother. Her liver disease was caused by Rezulin, diabetes med that they knew caused liver damage but would still be profitable to market even with the lawsuits. They all accused her of being an alcoholic, she rarely drank. Was through the 90's-'00s. I really dislike most doctors and nurses. I avoid them at all costs.
@@Christy.1 I’m so sorry that has happened to your family as well. It’s horrible how some doctors & nurses think they know it all because of a degree, when in reality they are just human beings like the rest of us. They make mistakes, but, their mistakes could end up killing someone or make people never go to a doctor again.
@@Trinity9775 Yes, exactly. Why I tell people to be persistent when dealing with a dismissive dr. And I've worked with some nurses that were just awesome; down to earth and used common sense.

All I can say is thank God my local hospital has where I can get my own lab and xray results, usually quicker than the drs office gets them.

My mother in law has cirrhosis of liver and never drank its absolutely heartbreaking my girls are 6 and 2 and I make sure they spend as much time with her as possible she's such a wonderful woman who doesn't deserve what she's living with. Her son who's my husband, I'm currently separated from is an alcoholic and has been horrible to her using her and his addiction is more important then his family .

Hi Julie! UA-cam started recommending your videos to me a few weeks ago and theyve been so helpful. I work in a veterinary ER so we see dying patients frequently. Just this weekend we had a patient going through active death and your videos helped me recognize that fact. Unfortunately the owners were not ready to accept this fact and wanted to persue aggressive support instead of humane euthanasia (so so glad we have that option). I tell folks I work with about your videos when we have these situation. Thank you for all your hard work educating us, and to all the patient families who allow you to use their videos. All of them are going to make me a better vet and better advocate for my patients end of life care. Because at the end of the day, bodies do know how to die and we in vet med are blessed to have a little power over that to give owners a chance to surround their animals with love as they leave.
I’m a recovering heroin addict with 5 years clean. When I was using I kept getting edemas in my hands and arms that made it look like I had a flesh glove over my hand. By the time I finally stopped using I had abscesses all over my arms that were bursting and leaving scars. I’m glad you were able to get into recovery too
Julie- I commend you and many others for staying sober. It is hard work. And thank you for sharing this. Its unfortunate Amys life went down that path. I wonder if she had severe mental health issues.
An autopsy report released in December 2021 stated that Carlson had died from global decline in the setting of alcohol abuse, anorexia, and chronic colloidal silver ingestion.
You're amazing, Julie! ❤ I use colloidal silver all the time but I've not needed to drink any, I use it topically and the colloidal silver would gel is legendary for a reason- it heals quicker than anything else and kills any infection asap. xx
I use it too. It's fine to drink, just...not in gallons lol. I'm currently taking a few teaspoons a day for a cold. I didn't really care for the gel too much though, maybe just not buying a good brand. I just use the liquid for that as well. Used it on my dogs and cats too over the years.
I agree, Julie is truly amazing for the very important Hospice end of life information she shares, it’s very needed. As for Colloidal Silver if it is incorrectly made it would not be Colloidal Silver. I am in my early seventies and have been making and using my own Colloidal silver for well over twenty years. I use it externally and in moderation internally daily, never any indication of blue. I have enjoyed many health benefits and it has been used worldwide by many for years. It’s not my intention to go into a long rant about it but I couldn’t just say nothing. Every one needs to commit to their own due diligence if interested in learning the facts about this or anything else. Take care, be well 👍
Exactly it comes in bottles so small you use amounts that come out of a dropper. They were making their own and she was drinking massive amounts of it while not eating and drinking large amounts of alcohol.
@@nighthawknfny Do you have a recipe or link to one you use? I was going to start making my own awhile back, didn't get around to it. Originally few years ago, one site said you needed to add a little bit of salt. Well, was just looking at it few weeks ago and now it's almost comical with one side swearing yes use salt the other people are wrong our lab says this, other side says no salt our lab says this, and one site saying oh the only way to do it is you need to add a bit of sugar-that's what our lab says....it is nothing by misinformation out there and hard to know who to trust or believe.
Amazing.....I just finished watching the documentary an hour ago and here you're explaining what was happening. I was struck by several things...she had so convinced her followers that she was God that even when she wanted to go to the hospital, they wouldn't let her. Another was the copious amount of drugs and alcohol being ingested. And the fact that even her death would not snap these people back to reality. Congratulations on the eight years sobriety...on the 31st i will have one year.
Congrats on 8 years sobriety Julie, I've had several friends who had Gout, I didn't realise the severity of pain until you explained it and I saw those pictures. My friend was a nurse and she had Gout really bad I remember what her joints looked like just didn't realise it until right now, I always believed it just occurred in the feet. Thank you for teaching too.
I love colloidal silver spray, use it for eye infections, colds and flus and takes care of issues real fast. Too much of anything isn't a good thing. Proper use it's very beneficial
Julie, there is a family from Kentucky who, years ago, became blue from the water in their well...having silver in it. One of their family members lives in my community, and sure enough, her skin is blue. It does not go away when they stop drinking that water. The lady is very friendly and outgoing, and she's very kind when anyone asks about her skin color. She is in good health...but over the years, the change in their genetics seems to have been passed down. It's interesting for sure. I can not imagine drinking colloidal silver in the quantity that this lady your discussing did. And I'm thankful you've been able to leave the alcohol alone. You're helping a lot of people with your videos!
Thank you to Julie for inserting that liver failure is not necessarily associated with excessive alcohol consumption. My father died from end stage liver failure, but the cirrhosis was diagnosed as having progressed from undetected non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. His first symptom, incidentally, was significant ascites that appeared over a short period of time.
Yes thank you for saying that not all cirrhosis is caused from alcohol. I have PBC which is a autoimmune condition that causes liver cirrhosis over time.
I'm so grateful for your videos they helped me when Mom was passing away December 26th at 1 43 pm. She had covid and had a stroke. Is it mandatory in hospitals to give an IV? She had edema in her hands and feet. They had an oxygen mask on her it was forcing O2 and keeping her passed Christmas. She was ready to fly home to be with God and her family. Really made me mad the she had to stay longer. It wasn't about me it was about her time to let go. Thank you for all your videos.
Congratulations, Julie, on your 8 years of sobriety. You rock❣️🎉🎊👏 I'm definitely going to watch the documentary. Is it on Netflix? I don't know how anyone can think that drinking colloidal silver could be good for them. I feel very sad for her. May she rest in peace.
My hubs has gout and yes, even a sheet touching the foot is excruciating! My daughter has seen the movie and told me the story. I’m curious and will watch it eventually. So sad that she abused her body and faded away. Thanks for sharing, Julie! ☺️
Hey, first video I’ve watched from you because of interest of the case. If you haven’t yet, you should talk about the Blue Fugates in an episode and how it contrasts to LHW
Congratulations to you both! I just celebrated my 6th year on the 23rd of December 💞 Sobriety is absolutely Amazing! I'm honestly Shocked I survived it tho! I was literally on my deathbed with a gallon of vodka a day-(& No, that's not an exaggeration). I'd have to go to the hospital to detox before I could even go detox at the detox. It was Nuts! I was borderline scerosis of the liver, pancreatitis, had a heart attack & a stroke before I was 34years old. Took 22days in the hospital to detox...im just glad they gave me a 2nd chance at life cuz every single night I would pray to God to NOT let me wake up the next day! I've also been shot, beat up by men, have TONS of health issues & Really bad chronic back pain, but im on this side of the dirt so..... That mother God lady was a freakin Weirdo! I'll never understand how people can fall for stuff like this. Happy New Year! Again I'm so proud of you both for getting sober! 💞💞
Congratulations RussianAloha on your sobriety-I am so surprised to read your comment about how your life was before you got sober and then to hear your feelings about the dying lady on the documentary-surly you don’t truly feel that way about another person who was in a lot of ways just like any other but for whatever reasons wasn’t able to make it!
@@melonioilar8569 you were absolutely correct, that wasn't nice of me to say about the mama God, but I have my reasons on why I didn't like that lady...but I took that part off cuz you really were right, and no I dont have that kind of hate in my heart, but that lady was not a good person. I'll just leave it at that. But thank you for your comment 💞 Sobriety is so hard to achieve cuz its a completely new way of life. You just have to want it, and I support Any1 trying to get sober & better their life 💞
I’m happy for you being sober. I lost a sister to alcoholism, and I miss her so much. She just didn’t care if she died, and she passed away in hospice. I don’t know how you Angel nurses can deal with it. It was an awful way for someone to die.
I love your videos and what you have to say and share. I’m feeling a lot of love for you because of your kindness, care and authenticity. I’ve been “sober” from drugs for about 20 years and quit habitual drinking a year ago.
I watched the documentary and felt sad for her followers that followed her and believed she would return from her dead body or be transformed to a higher power in front of them . I saw the colidal silver poisoning in her skin and they were selling it to make money for the cult. Just all around sad sad for all of them especially her family, her daughter.
@@1961LaraSouth, in Crestone. I moved to Colorado 3 years ago and have been shocked at the amount of true crime lore here 😮! After cops found the body the cult relocated to Vermont for fear of persecution.
Hello Dr., of love and peace! Curious why Silver? Did she have a reason to drink silver (which is so weird to me?) you’re awesome and I love your videos.
I've suffered from gout and shingles. Both are terrible but gout, OMG the pain is off the charts. Its like someone has put tiny grains of sand in your joints It's excruciating.
Julie, you are so smart! 🤓 😁 💖🤗 You hit the nail on the head with this one!! I don't know if it was already stated by you or commenters here, if it's not new information. But I just found out her cause of death determination was declared from autopsy to be from organ failure. The causes for the organ failure were from 1) advanced liver disease from alcoholism, and 2) from anorexia. (I am paraphrasing so let me know if I am remembering it incorrectly.) So organ failure from Liver disease and anorexia, and then the medical examiner stated it was then, complicated by high doses of colloidal silver. So sad. Now I am for natural homeopathic remedies. But I think they went on their belief, that she was being told during channeling to take all of that silver by Robin Williams. This makes me so sad. They wrote down dose amounts according to information they received from channeling. But regardless of if that is crazy town or not, you should always check safety of ANY substance with a professional. ALWAYS. Medical professionals like Nurses and Doctors can help check if something is safe first. Even pharmacists are trained to know interactions between medications, natural remedies etc. and also take patient's health condition into dosing as well. That's why we can't prescribe things to ourselves. And also your age determines how you metabolize vitamins and drugs as well. ( Sorry, you might already know. :) I think the colloidal definitely does that process up. But I wonder how much longer she would have had without it? Seems pretty advanced with the liver disease? I have known intuitive and empathic people. And there are gifts out there. But if she ever did have gifts, I think she went off the rails with all the psychedelics and alcohol she was drinking all day. So... :'( yes don't drink silver!! Bad... So yes! You know your stuff, as if we would ever doubt you! (Nurses are the best! ;) Very sad, he family felt she struggled with mental health as well. How many years of alcoholism does it take to be end stage liver disease like this lady? (Without the colloidal silver or other comorbid health conditions)?
I had Gout in my right ankle when I was 5 years clean and sober. The doctor said it was due to my high intake of processed meat. I did eat a lot of fast food at the time. Anyway, I did have extreme pain, which at the time, was the worst pain I had ever experienced, including back labor when my son was born. NOW, I have neuropathy pain which is 80% worse than anything I've ever experienced. I have neuropathy in my hands and feet and legs up to my knees. I can't touch anything without wearing gloves or socks. Petting my cats is an absolute NO GO! Even air going across my skin; hands and feet sends me through the roof! My medication is gabapentin and I have missed a dose or two over the years, which makes me wanna cut off my legs and arms, SERIOUSLY!
Quit benzos cold-turkey 4 years exactly (amazes me, how one cannot get an opioid prescription to give some relief for chronic pain, but lots of doctors sre quite happy to prescribe benzoes for depression/anxiety) Thank you for your videos
She had alcoholism combined with Munchausen’s, in my opinion. Also, if she excepts being called God by her ““ followers, she is or was mentally ill. But what concerns me most is how she was allowed to destroy her body and be mentally ill without anyone intervening.
She was HIGHLY aggressive and everyone was scared of her. She did not believe to the last second that she would die because she is "God" after all. Not a nice person.
As a liver transplant recipient due to auto immune hepatitis, I can whole heartedly attest to the pain from gout. The air from the ceiling fan makes it hurt, much less having something actually physically touch the area. Having it in more than one place on my body would be a living nightmare. She must have been tough if she had gout in that many places and wasn't crying.
Interesting. Too much iron in your system turns you brown too...hemochromatosis I think it's called. Every symptom tells a story...have to analyze and follow thru. Finally, I thought I had a corn that I couldn't get rid of. Doctor thought it might be gout because of the pain. It is tumorous calcification or something like that...indicative of bodily inflammation. Go figure.
I remember seeing a man who also was drinking the silver too and he too, was blue. Where can I watch the documentary? Thanks again for your education on these things!
I watched the documentary and it was scary and sad. The people that followed her didn't seem to have a clue that this woman needed medical help and just went along with everything.
On a day in this past Dec., I walked in my mother’s room, she was on her last days of life and we all knew because of her health that she would soon die and to my surprise, she died, her face was a grey blue and her big blue eyes were focused on the blessed Mother Statue that she had on a table close to her bed! I felt as though the blessed mother took her to heaven, never did I see a face of a dead person look like the color of a blessed statue! I would call it a spiritual happening!
I have watched the documentary. I found it very interesting from a former substance abuser as well as religious fanatic (both have a similar root cause).
I watched her on Dr. Phil many years ago and then heard she had cancer. She abused small children by locking them in dark cupboards, she abused animals, in particular her cats and in addition she abused people. I actually saw that and cant unsee or unhear it. She was very aggressive. Yes, my heart does go out to her family. I myself have lost a child, but she was not a good person at all.
I have to say this scares me. I have hepatic encephalopathy, hep b, cirrhosis of the liver. I was not a drinker i was a i.v. drug addict. I also have 8 years of clean time. Seeing this makes me nervous and I wonder if this will happen to me.
Your right about non drinkers having gout and liver failure. My tea-totaling husband had severe gout at times. He passed in December with liver and kidney failure. Why would someone drink silver?
I watched the documentary and she was on an episode of Dr. Phi . This lady was physically sick. . Sad. I also remember how popular Colloidal Siler was in the late 90's . I knew people that drank this daily . Their skin was permanently blueish gray.
Yeah, there are two types of fatty liver disease...the one caused by drinking a lot of alcohol, and the other being NAFLD or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which I'd been diagnosed with. Given I never heard of NAFLD until I was diagnosed with it, I suspect it's becoming more prevalent. Essentially, there are levels of scarring or cirrosis of the liver. Once the liver becomes too scarred, it will fail. The liver is usually pretty resilient, but the scarring can do it in.
I had an episode of gout back in my forties, I am a teetotaller.The doctor gave me medication and it went away.The pain was excrutiating so I am grateful I only had it once. But why did I get it I wonder? I dont eat super rich food. Its a mystery.
I’m glad you were forthcoming about your gout and alcoholism! How wonderful you are no longer in that kind of a situation! Your testimony can also maybe help someone else get off this path of alcoholism and on to a better pathway! Bless you!

I am a retired nurse and I have the feeling that you are an amazing bedside nurse! Glad I found you!
Wow!!! Thank you! Means a lot coming from another nurse
I love you more even more that you were open and honest about your alcoholism and congrats on your sobriety! It has been 13 years for me!
Hi Julie!
UA-cam started recommending your videos to me a few weeks ago and theyve been so helpful. I work in a veterinary ER so we see dying patients frequently. Just this weekend we had a patient going through active death and your videos helped me recognize that fact. Unfortunately the owners were not ready to accept this fact and wanted to persue aggressive support instead of humane euthanasia (so so glad we have that option). I tell folks I work with about your videos when we have these situation.
Thank you for all your hard work educating us, and to all the patient families who allow you to use their videos. All of them are going to make me a better vet and better advocate for my patients end of life care. Because at the end of the day, bodies do know how to die and we in vet med are blessed to have a little power over that to give owners a chance to surround their animals with love as they leave.
I’m a recovering heroin addict with 5 years clean. When I was using I kept getting edemas in my hands and arms that made it look like I had a flesh glove over my hand. By the time I finally stopped using I had abscesses all over my arms that were bursting and leaving scars. I’m glad you were able to get into recovery too
Congratulations on your sobriety! Such an amazing accomplishment!
Sobriety looks very good on you :) Thank you for all the info you provide.
Julie- I commend you and many others for staying sober. It is hard work. And thank you for sharing this. Its unfortunate Amys life went down that path. I wonder if she had severe mental health issues.
She had very severe mental disorder. Did you watch the documentary? She claimed to be a cult leader. A very angry, violent, abusive cult leader.
I think that's probably likely 😢♥️
@@vikkiledgard8483
not only “likely.” Factual.
Girl, you’re too much you’re honesty is a blessing. You have the most blessed wonderful year. Love your videos, Julie.❤
Yep, she'd have had to drink gallons of it over years to turn blue. Colloidal silver will stop a cold sore in its tracks and takes pain from wounds.
An autopsy report released in December 2021 stated that Carlson had died from global decline in the setting of alcohol abuse, anorexia, and chronic colloidal silver ingestion.
Yep! Just as our girl Julie anticipated!
Colloidal silver has got to be very high quality and used correctly. The proper type, nanoparticle, properly used does not turn a person blue.
@@rivkaclifford427 Can you provide links to any literature or information on this, please? Thank you ♥️
I knew someone who turned blue from the stuff but not that blue. 🇨🇦
Wow. The thing I use to make feminized weed seeds can turn you blue😂😂😂
You're amazing, Julie! ❤ I use colloidal silver all the time but I've not needed to drink any, I use it topically and the colloidal silver would gel is legendary for a reason- it heals quicker than anything else and kills any infection asap. xx
I use it too. It's fine to drink, just...not in gallons lol. I'm currently taking a few teaspoons a day for a cold. I didn't really care for the gel too much though, maybe just not buying a good brand. I just use the liquid for that as well. Used it on my dogs and cats too over the years.
I agree, Julie is truly amazing for the very important Hospice end of life information she shares, it’s very needed. As for Colloidal Silver if it is incorrectly made it would not be Colloidal Silver. I am in my early seventies and have been making and using my own Colloidal silver for well over twenty years. I use it externally and in moderation internally daily, never any indication of blue. I have enjoyed many health benefits and it has been used worldwide by many for years. It’s not my intention to go into a long rant about it but I couldn’t just say nothing. Every one needs to commit to their own due diligence if interested in learning the facts about this or anything else. Take care, be well 👍
Exactly it comes in bottles so small you use amounts that come out of a dropper. They were making their own and she was drinking massive amounts of it while not eating and drinking large amounts of alcohol.
@@nighthawknfny Do you have a recipe or link to one you use? I was going to start making my own awhile back, didn't get around to it. Originally few years ago, one site said you needed to add a little bit of salt. Well, was just looking at it few weeks ago and now it's almost comical with one side swearing yes use salt the other people are wrong our lab says this, other side says no salt our lab says this, and one site saying oh the only way to do it is you need to add a bit of sugar-that's what our lab says....it is nothing by misinformation out there and hard to know who to trust or believe.
I like salt water for things ... mouth/throat issues as a rinse or gargle, wounds as a soak. It's underrated.
I'm a 39 yr friend of Bill W's. Proud of you sister, it just keeps getting better.
Amazing.....I just finished watching the documentary an hour ago and here you're explaining what was happening. I was struck by several things...she had so convinced her followers that she was God that even when she wanted to go to the hospital, they wouldn't let her. Another was the copious amount of drugs and alcohol being ingested. And the fact that even her death would not snap these people back to reality.
Congratulations on the eight years sobriety...on the 31st i will have one year.
What’s the name of the documentary and what platform can I watch it from? TIA
@@beautifulmistake1804 Love Has Won : The Cult of Mother God

@@jamesbrunk7002 i think they intentionally poisoned her to try the take the money but Michael fucked them over.
I did not see the documentary, but you were very enlightening on her condition. Love your site!!!
Thank you!!
Congrats on 8 years sobriety Julie, I've had several friends who had Gout, I didn't realise the severity of pain until you explained it and I saw those pictures. My friend was a nurse and she had Gout really bad I remember what her joints looked like just didn't realise it until right now, I always believed it just occurred in the feet. Thank you for teaching too.
Absolutely love your channel, and the matter-of-factness in your delivery. And im very happy for your sobriety, as well as the others, here!
You are very good in presenting
I love colloidal silver spray, use it for eye infections, colds and flus and takes care of issues real fast. Too much of anything isn't a good thing. Proper use it's very beneficial
Thanks for your info and honesty ❤❤❤❤
You are so knowledgeable, I appreciate all your video's. I learn something new every time I watch you. Happy New Year !!
Julie, there is a family from Kentucky who, years ago, became blue from the water in their well...having silver in it. One of their family members lives in my community, and sure enough, her skin is blue. It does not go away when they stop drinking that water. The lady is very friendly and outgoing, and she's very kind when anyone asks about her skin color. She is in good health...but over the years, the change in their genetics seems to have been passed down. It's interesting for sure. I can not imagine drinking colloidal silver in the quantity that this lady your discussing did. And I'm thankful you've been able to leave the alcohol alone. You're helping a lot of people with your videos!
Yes! I was thinking about them exactly when I seen this video 😮
They are the blue Fugate family. There's several generations of them now.
Thank you to Julie for inserting that liver failure is not necessarily associated with excessive alcohol consumption. My father died from end stage liver failure, but the cirrhosis was diagnosed as having progressed from undetected non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. His first symptom, incidentally, was significant ascites that appeared over a short period of time.
💗💗💗💗
Yes thank you for saying that not all cirrhosis is caused from alcohol. I have PBC which is a autoimmune condition that causes liver cirrhosis over time.
Have never heard of this or of her but I'm always thankful to learn from you❤
I'm so grateful for your videos they helped me when Mom was passing away December 26th at 1 43 pm. She had covid and had a stroke. Is it mandatory in hospitals to give an IV? She had edema in her hands and feet. They had an oxygen mask on her it was forcing O2 and keeping her passed Christmas. She was ready to fly home to be with God and her family. Really made me mad the she had to stay longer. It wasn't about me it was about her time to let go. Thank you for all your videos.
🕯️🌹🕊️
Congratulations, Julie, on your 8 years of sobriety. You rock❣️🎉🎊👏
I'm definitely going to watch the documentary. Is it on Netflix?
I don't know how anyone can think that drinking colloidal silver could be good for them. I feel very sad for her. May she rest in peace.
I saw it on HBOMax.
What’s the name of the documentary? TIA
My hubs has gout and yes, even a sheet touching the foot is excruciating! My daughter has seen the movie and told me the story. I’m curious and will watch it eventually. So sad that she abused her body and faded away. Thanks for sharing, Julie! ☺️
💗💗💗💗💗
Hey, first video I’ve watched from you because of interest of the case.
If you haven’t yet, you should talk about the Blue Fugates in an episode and how it contrasts to LHW
Caitlyn Doughty did a great breakdown of this including their mummifying of her body!
I have not seen the documentary. Your insight to her condition is very interesting.
Excellent assessment! Sounds spot on! Thanks for your videos educating people regarding the dying process! Well done!
I knew you were one of my sober peeps, congrats on 8 years. I also really appreciate all of your tic toks and videos .
Congrats on 8 years sober from alcohol. It's been 12 years for me. Your videos fascinate me as life (and death) are fascinating.
Congratulations to you both! I just celebrated my 6th year on the 23rd of December 💞 Sobriety is absolutely Amazing! I'm honestly Shocked I survived it tho! I was literally on my deathbed with a gallon of vodka a day-(& No, that's not an exaggeration). I'd have to go to the hospital to detox before I could even go detox at the detox. It was Nuts! I was borderline scerosis of the liver, pancreatitis, had a heart attack & a stroke before I was 34years old. Took 22days in the hospital to detox...im just glad they gave me a 2nd chance at life cuz every single night I would pray to God to NOT let me wake up the next day! I've also been shot, beat up by men, have TONS of health issues & Really bad chronic back pain, but im on this side of the dirt so.....
That mother God lady was a freakin Weirdo! I'll never understand how people can fall for stuff like this.
Happy New Year! Again I'm so proud of you both for getting sober! 💞💞
Congratulations RussianAloha on your sobriety-I am so surprised to read your comment about how your life was before you got sober and then to hear your feelings about the dying lady on the documentary-surly you don’t truly feel that way about another person who was in a lot of ways just like any other but for whatever reasons wasn’t able to make it!
Almost 18 Years here…one day at A Time
@@melonioilar8569 you were absolutely correct, that wasn't nice of me to say about the mama God, but I have my reasons on why I didn't like that lady...but I took that part off cuz you really were right, and no I dont have that kind of hate in my heart, but that lady was not a good person. I'll just leave it at that. But thank you for your comment 💞 Sobriety is so hard to achieve cuz its a completely new way of life. You just have to want it, and I support Any1 trying to get sober & better their life 💞
Congratulations on your sobriety. Another Sober Sister here. Your videos are so helpful.
Thanks for covering this documentary. It was really good
Best wishes on staying sober. I enjoy your videos Ma'am
Good stuff my friend. You’ve got a very informative channel. Keep it up. Blessings from a long time Hospice Nurse/ Chaplain in Florida.
Congratulations Julie!
I’m happy for you being sober. I lost a sister to alcoholism, and I miss her so much. She just didn’t care if she died, and she passed away in hospice. I don’t know how you Angel nurses can deal with it. It was an awful way for someone to die.
I love your videos and what you have to say and share. I’m feeling a lot of love for you because of your kindness, care and authenticity. I’ve been “sober” from drugs for about 20 years and quit habitual drinking a year ago.
Thank you so much for all your info and advice you are amazing and I look forward to your future videos. ❤
Congratulations to you and everyone else who has become sober. Keep up the great work.
I watched the documentary and felt sad for her followers that followed her and believed she would return from her dead body or be transformed to a higher power in front of them . I saw the colidal silver poisoning in her skin and they were selling it to make money for the cult. Just all around sad sad for all of them especially her family, her daughter.
The cult is still very active here in Colorado
@@houlesranchhmmm…. Where? I live in CO half the year.
@@1961LaraSouth, in Crestone. I moved to Colorado 3 years ago and have been shocked at the amount of true crime lore here 😮! After cops found the body the cult relocated to Vermont for fear of persecution.
They need mental help.
Thanks for your honesty a out alcoholism
Hello Dr., of love and peace! Curious why Silver? Did she have a reason to drink silver (which is so weird to me?) you’re awesome and I love your videos.
I've suffered from gout and shingles. Both are terrible but gout, OMG the pain is off the charts. Its like someone has put tiny grains of sand in your joints
It's excruciating.
Julie, you are so smart! 🤓 😁 💖🤗 You hit the nail on the head with this one!!
I don't know if it was already stated by you or commenters here, if it's not new information. But I just found out her cause of death determination was declared from autopsy to be from organ failure.
The causes for the organ failure were from 1) advanced liver disease from alcoholism, and 2) from anorexia. (I am paraphrasing so let me know if I am remembering it incorrectly.)
So organ failure from Liver disease and anorexia, and then the medical examiner stated it was then, complicated by high doses of colloidal silver. So sad.
Now I am for natural homeopathic remedies. But I think they went on their belief, that she was being told during channeling to take all of that silver by Robin Williams. This makes me so sad. They wrote down dose amounts according to information they received from channeling. But regardless of if that is crazy town or not, you should always check safety of ANY substance with a professional. ALWAYS. Medical professionals like Nurses and Doctors can help check if something is safe first. Even pharmacists are trained to know interactions between medications, natural remedies etc. and also take patient's health condition into dosing as well. That's why we can't prescribe things to ourselves. And also your age determines how you metabolize vitamins and drugs as well. ( Sorry, you might already know. :)
I think the colloidal definitely does that process up. But I wonder how much longer she would have had without it? Seems pretty advanced with the liver disease?
I have known intuitive and empathic people. And there are gifts out there. But if she ever did have gifts, I think she went off the rails with all the psychedelics and alcohol she was drinking all day. So... :'( yes don't drink silver!! Bad...
So yes! You know your stuff, as if we would ever doubt you! (Nurses are the best! ;) Very sad, he family felt she struggled with mental health as well.
How many years of alcoholism does it take to be end stage liver disease like this lady? (Without the colloidal silver or other comorbid health conditions)?
I had Gout in my right ankle when I was 5 years clean and sober. The doctor said it was due to my high intake of processed meat. I did eat a lot of fast food at the time.
Anyway, I did have extreme pain, which at the time, was the worst pain I had ever experienced, including back labor when my son was born. NOW, I have neuropathy pain which is 80% worse than anything I've ever experienced. I have neuropathy in my hands and feet and legs up to my knees. I can't touch anything without wearing gloves or socks. Petting my cats is an absolute NO GO! Even air going across my skin; hands and feet sends me through the roof! My medication is gabapentin and I have missed a dose or two over the years, which makes me wanna cut off my legs and arms, SERIOUSLY!
So very sorry that is so intense!
So sorry. Sounds indescribably painful 🥺
I'm blown away with the stupidity
Quit benzos cold-turkey 4 years exactly (amazes me, how one cannot get an opioid prescription to give some relief for chronic pain, but lots of doctors sre quite happy to prescribe benzoes for depression/anxiety)
Thank you for your videos
I haven't seen the documentary but Ask a Mortician did a video about her years ago. It's all so weird
Hi, love that channel!
Me too 🥰🥰🥰
Just watched the documentary. Crazy. Off topic but you are insanely beautiful!
I won’t watch that movie so I’m good to watch this 😂🤗
People with crps complex regional pain syndrome also have identical symptoms
I appreciate you I been drinking for years. I have liver disease and I'm so sick it's from alcohol. I need to stop it's so hard fall down a lot
Get some help. You don't have to go it alone!
She had alcoholism combined with Munchausen’s, in my opinion. Also, if she excepts being called God by her ““ followers, she is or was mentally ill. But what concerns me most is how she was allowed to destroy her body and be mentally ill without anyone intervening.
She was HIGHLY aggressive and everyone was scared of her. She did not believe to the last second that she would die because she is "God" after all. Not a nice person.
You are such a beautiful person
As a liver transplant recipient due to auto immune hepatitis, I can whole heartedly attest to the pain from gout. The air from the ceiling fan makes it hurt, much less having something actually physically touch the area. Having it in more than one place on my body would be a living nightmare. She must have been tough if she had gout in that many places and wasn't crying.
Thank you for sharing.
Interesting. Too much iron in your system turns you brown too...hemochromatosis I think it's called. Every symptom tells a story...have to analyze and follow thru. Finally, I thought I had a corn that I couldn't get rid of. Doctor thought it might be gout because of the pain. It is tumorous calcification or something like that...indicative of bodily inflammation. Go figure.
You should make a video about that guy who was blue for the same reason and appeared on a few talk shows.
Thank you Miss
I remember seeing a man who also was drinking the silver too and he too, was blue. Where can I watch the documentary? Thanks again for your education on these things!
I watched the documentary and it was scary and sad. The people that followed her didn't seem to have a clue that this woman needed medical help and just went along with everything.
Thumbs up for eight years sober. Keep fighting the good fight, Sister.
I THOUGHT she was blue because of colloidial silver when I saw the clip. Holy cow!read about it but never saw it.
On a day in this past Dec., I walked in my mother’s room, she was on her last days of life and we all knew because of her health that she would soon die and to my surprise, she died, her face was a grey blue and her big blue eyes were focused on the blessed Mother Statue that she had on a table close to her bed! I felt as though the blessed mother took her to heaven, never did I see a face of a dead person look like the color of a blessed statue! I would call it a spiritual happening!
Haven't seen the documentary, but I did see the Dateline episode on her a while ago. That was probably the craziest episode of Dateline ever.
I have watched the documentary. I found it very interesting from a former substance abuser as well as religious fanatic (both have a similar root cause).
I watched her on Dr. Phil many years ago and then heard she had cancer. She abused small children by locking them in dark cupboards, she abused animals, in particular her cats and in addition she abused people. I actually saw that and cant unsee or unhear it. She was very aggressive. Yes, my heart does go out to her family. I myself have lost a child, but she was not a good person at all.
I just watched that documentary…. And I gotta say those people are crazy!
Congratulations on being sober 8 years! I was 6 years old with gout.
That woman was evil!!!! She was on Dr Phil show.
I have to say this scares me. I have hepatic encephalopathy, hep b, cirrhosis of the liver. I was not a drinker i was a i.v. drug addict. I also have 8 years of clean time. Seeing this makes me nervous and I wonder if this will happen to me.
Omg congratulations on all that sobriety time!🎉❤
I use colloidal silver on wounds. It works! But I wouldn’t drink it especially in high doses.
Ppl are crazy in thinking this lady was good and they think she went on a ship. I'm dying laughing at how delusional these people are. 😂😂
I saw that documentary and found it absolutely amazing how far from reality the human mind can go 😢
Well, it just came out this year so…
@mfranck1 Thank you for the corrections. I will edit my comment ❤️
Your right about non drinkers having gout and liver failure. My tea-totaling husband had severe gout at times. He passed in December with liver and kidney failure.
Why would someone drink silver?
Proven antimicrobial.
What do you mean that gout is treats? Please tell us how. Thanks
I have heard that some conditions cannot be adequately palliated and folks can die in agony. Is this true?
OMG!!! Is that from the colloidal silver? You cannot reverse it, I believe.
Also I’m curious if you know how old she was? It’s fascinating.
I was shocked to see them giving her shots of liquor at the end to “help” her with the pain. Awful.
What is "third spacing"? Thanks.
Colloidal silver was my guess. Usually homemade. I'v taken mega doses of commercial made Soverign Silver and I'm not blue.
I watched the documentary and she was on an episode of Dr. Phi . This lady was physically sick. . Sad. I also remember how popular Colloidal Siler was in the late 90's . I knew people that drank this daily . Their skin was permanently blueish gray.
Yeah, there are two types of fatty liver disease...the one caused by drinking a lot of alcohol, and the other being NAFLD or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which I'd been diagnosed with. Given I never heard of NAFLD until I was diagnosed with it, I suspect it's becoming more prevalent. Essentially, there are levels of scarring or cirrosis of the liver. Once the liver becomes too scarred, it will fail. The liver is usually pretty resilient, but the scarring can do it in.
I had an episode of gout back in my forties, I am a teetotaller.The doctor gave me medication and it went away.The pain was excrutiating so I am grateful I only had it once. But why did I get it I wonder? I dont eat super rich food. Its a mystery.
Doesn't it hurt sssooo much!!!!! But yes- sometimes we don't know what someone gets it- it's definitely not always because of alcohol 💕💕.
Interesting, never heard of drinking 🍸 cloidle silver, was it ? I always thought it was for external wounds only.
I'd run so fast from blue Lady who drinks 😂 straight vodka
Where do I see this documentary?
HBO/Max
My first thought was colloidal silver!
