Jaime Vega 14 hours ago Honestly theres not alot of people in this world with your level of knowledge i just want to say i really appreciate your teachings. I have a ? have you ever read A Course in Miracles. Hi Jamie, I couldn't answer your question where you left it because for some reason, there was no reply box... Answer: Yes, I've studied the Course In Miracles a fair bit. I haven't read the whole document page for page, but did a fair bit of reading in it, and studied a course on all aspects of it. There is certainly some useful materials in there, but it is LOADED with Christian concepts that are: A. Out dated. B.

I found it quite sad that a book with so much potential is stained with such dis-empowering language and concepts. I'd say it is one step in the right direction away from orthodox Christian concepts, and good for those at that level of their own spiritual development, but compared to the Tao Te Ching, (for those that understand Lao Tzu's teachings), it's not only massively verbose, but like a tangled web where Lao Tzu's teachings are like a natural diamond.

Hello Paul. To me, you are the biggest inspiration; a master of nutrition, exercise, spirituality and body-mind. These are the areas I am fascinated as well and would like to ask you, how did you end up with all this knowledge? Did you focus and study mostly one thing at a time until satisfying level was achieved, or did you jump all over the place? Btw. Do you have any opinion on alkalized water (like Kangen Water)?
I have been an athlete since the first grade. I was a competitive boxer, kick boxer, and motto-cross racer when I was young, and studied everything I could get my hands on to better myself. When I was in the army, I was a fighter on the US Army Boxing Team, as well as representing the US Army in Triathlon. I was then asked to become the trainer of the boxing team when my company commander offered me to chance to leave boxing and train full time for triathlon. My coaches didn't want me to go, so they offered me the job as the team trainer. I was given responsibility for conditioning, nutrition, and sports injury care; I worked directly with the team physician, who was an osteopath. Once I left the army, I became a Holistic Health Practitioner and studied everything that was necessary to have a holistic understanding of body-mind function, while also working in the largest sports and orthopedic clinic in San Diego. We had a surgical center with 13 surgeons, and there were 22 physical therapists, athletic trainers, and myself. In general, I've studied what I needed to help each individual case....and after over 31 years of practicing, studying, traveling the world to study with the best experts I could find in each area of my interest, this is what you get... Water: Ideally, you want to drink water that is at pH 7-9 since most people's bodies are acidic. You can read all about water in my book, "How To Eat, Move and Be Healthy!" Love and chi, Paul Chek
Paul Chek oh I see... And if i remember correctly your mother was a yogi when you were growing up. Awesome! My background is opposite, I was always weak and prone to illness since I was born. Eventually I got fascinated about improving my health and purposeful living. I want to become a Holistic Health Practitioner and help people understand what it takes to be more complete individual. Thanks Paul, I'm from Europe but I really hope to meet you one day! Best wishes
Can't find the right words haha, I feel like I could write a few pages after this meditation. I guess just a thank you is all I wanna say, cause I guess you know exactly what I'm talking about, or so :). All :), Thomas
Honestly theres not alot of people in this world with your level of knowledge i just want to say i really appreciate your teachings. I have a ? have you ever read A Course in Miracles.
Hey Paul, big fan, I was just wondering if you know of any good people to see in Ireland in relation to a persistent glute(piriformis) problem. Any response would be great. Much Chi, Lyndon
Yes, Greg Muller, Chek Practitioner Level 4. You should be able to locate him on the chek institute web site. If you can't, email the institute through the web page and ask them if they can forward you his contacts. He's one of the most celebrated strength and conditioning coaches in the world of rugby, and is also skilled as a therapist. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Paul Chek What are your thoughts on Bullworkers? I had one when I was younger and I seem to remember that they are a little dangerous for kids because of the spring mechanism , certain leg exercises are risky because you can literally get it flying into your gob. Got a bump but nothing serious. But for training are they any good?
They offer "resistance"....and as a basic theme, using any form of resistance you are willing to "work with" for your own health can be beneficial. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Hi Paul! That's a cute Pug right there! (: A friend of mine recently did a colon hydrotherapy and had great results. So I thought about doing it too. What are your thoughts on this method?
Hi Paul similar question again. Can you make a video about or answer this question regarding which minerals and vitamins you would need more of in certain situations. So an example would be if i had stomach issues what kind of bodybuilding foods would be suitable for extra support?
Though I do have that knowledge, I don't practice guiding people that way. Taking vitamins for this or that without first addressing the core 4 Doctor issues (Happiness, quiet, diet, and movement) that led to the problem results in an alopathic (traditional medical) approach to one's problems; a stomach problem becomes a deficiency of this or that vitamin, a headache becomes an aspirin deficiency. My method is to teach people how to look honestly within themselves and their life to see what the symptoms they have are "informing them of". Once the actual cause of the stress that manifests as stomach stress, liver stress, adrenal stress, etc has been addressed, I use supplementation only as needed to address specific physiological imbalances. That said, having coached thousands with all sorts of diseases, those that actually do listen to their body-mind, and eat, live and drink in accordance with their authentic needs, seldom need supplementation. When I find that there are specific cells, organs, glands or tissues that need nutritional support because the individual's lifestyle and stressors have resulted in Mal-absorption, I suggest specific nutrition, but at that point, it is being used as a form of temporary medicine of sorts. I teach all this in my HLC 2 program, so if you and others want to actually learn the art and science of healing, that is the place to do it. Try following the directions in my Last 4 Doctors ebook and complete the book as a self-healing lesson and you are likely to find the real cause of your problems. The stomach responds strongly to anxiety, just as a little tip. I see your call tag is "Primal movement"...so...do you think primal man was searching the trees for vitamins to address stomach issues...? If they had stomach issues, it would have been in response to temporary stressors, such as territorial competition for food that lasted long enough to threaten the individual's survival, or a parasite infection. If you think you may have a parasite infection, you'll need to study my DVD series on that, in which I give a number of specific suggestions. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Nono i didn't mean vitamins supplements. Simply it would be cool to know like if i come home from a hard day of training going into the fridge and lets say i have kidneys liver,brains or beef hearts which one is mostly suitable for physical exercise. And while indeed they did not search trees for vitamin pills they had certain knowledge about foods like giving fathers or mothers to be specific foodstuffs. I just think it would be a powerful tool to have. I am asking this like the icing on the cake if you understand. I dare say i do know enough of the four doctors just through thinking and watching all your videos and books. Perhaps brains are could be good for exercise or inflammation because of all the cholestrol this is stuff i ponder like play not as a must do this or that right all the time but the fact that you can make your body more radiant and deep through high quality superfoods like organs and butter is fascinating. Just how powerfull can humans become and have been? How could the mongols survive their harsch environment and how could soldiers fight days on end. Just cool you know. Even though there are books describing what they did. It is more interestingg to me if they did all this and still pooped perfect poops and felt great and strong not just overtrained haha. If i feel anxiety i know it is just something in the body i find it almost impossible not to be almost childishly serene most of the time when i got the health in my pocket not doing russian roulette with things and trusting that if i have trained hard i just need rest and food and then im back. Perhaps you know some books for this since alot of your courses are sort of a choice between food and certifications and id rather check out of the game for a while.
hey paul recently got ur healing fungal and parasite infections dvd set, amazing work looking forward following ur guidance in those dvds! i know i have fungal infections and probably parasite too, had dandruff for a very long time had ringworm several time showing up on my skin. the thing is i am a active guy who followed ur book and 4 doctor approach for almost a year now and the only question left i got is i do not understand how to get enough food when following ur protocol to avoid all root veggies/beans and peas, since i usually feel pretty good on some carbs and do not get any high and low during the day, and when i eat to much meat i usually get very hard poop and feel a little constipated and when eating alot of fat i usually get more of a oily poop, and my body cannot handle seeds and nuts eeither so having a hard time get enough food in my diet when avoiding all root veggies. and theres so little calories in lean meat but to much fat does not feel to good either. would love some general tips that might make me understand how to go about the protocol and not meaby even get worse health problems hehe! much chi Paul ur the man love ur work!
Greetings Paul ive got a question for you that i would really appreciate some guidance, i live here in sweden where its illeagal with Raw dairy, i really spent some time calling Organic farms and finally got a hold of a good guy who did let me come get some milk, the thing is its a really long drive and my plan is to fill my entire car with milk and probably make some butter at home some kefir, and have plain milk left and probably freeze most of it to last me meaby 6 months or so. Is this the route u would reccomend or could u please give me some tip how to get the most benefit of my dairy in use of some kind of storing/ferment technique or should i just freeze it? will it lose alot of benefits? ive search for answer on the internet but could not get any accurate thats why im asking since i know The chek way is always so different than most *health expert* way, thank you paul much love. living the 4 doctor approach and following ur book for a while now!
HI Paul, after some consideration ive realized that eating all my meats raw just searing it or quick flashboiling is far superior to cooking in almost all ways. However recently i got bad stomach infection or something after eating a lambshead. Are there any good natural medicins that you can take right afterwards if you experience anything bad and that could possibly prevent further problems?
Yes, this is one of the real challenges with eating raw meats. It is one thing to eat raw meats when you know the animals, how they are cared for, their overall health, and can adapt to the bacterial populations they carry over time. On our farm, we ate our own beef raw quite often, but it was excellent quality. There has always been problems with people eating raw bird meats for as long as I've been coaching people on diet and health issues. The bacterial strains can vary widely among them... My recommendation is that you ALWAYS carry a bottle of extra strength Oregonol P73; you can get it from most health food stores or from www.americanwildfoods.com A therapeutic dose is five drops, which you can chase with water. Oregonol (oil of oregano) is a very powerful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and is very supportive of immune function. I carry it wherever I go on the road due to exposure to so many different foods on the road. Another excellent tool is Young Living Essential Oils "Thieves", which is also a very powerful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal oil. It is very powerful, and I'd recommend only taking 1-2 drops shaken into a water bottle at a time until you see how you respond. It is even stronger than oregonol, but I'd only recommend using it when you feel you are fighting something off. You can get comprehensive directions for use from Young Living. They don't sell direct to the public, but you can become a distributor through the Chek Institute; once you make your initial order, you get a big retailers discount, which pretty much makes the initial purchase to become a distributor worth it if you use the oils with any regularity. If you can't find the Young Living information on the Chek Institute web site, just email them or call them and someone can help you. It may be a good time now for you to study the audio recording of my "Primal Pattern Eating" webinar, where I teach you three ways to get guidance from your body as to what to, and what not to eat. Using both muscle testing, and soul-connection (which I explain in the program), you can save yourself from eating foods your body won't respond well to. It is using these and other methods I teach that have allowed me to not miss a single day of work due to illness in just under 32 years now. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Im not sure it was the raw meat though but you never know, this has been an excellent oppurtunity for me to see what really works. Since i live quite isolated i can easily see when something works for my mind body mood or overall background feeling. So i got a chance to see what my body really needed to repair my gut after all the horrors.and restore my energy. Thank you for your long answer and i will order these oils since i heard they are food good usage anyhow. The organs i eat look really deeply coloroued and beatiful in my opinion and intellectually it is grassfed organic so im not too worried.
Hey Paul Just wanted ur take on organ meats vs muscle meats whats the biggest difference and how has urself and ur client responded to organs, does they have mostly similar effect as muscle? would be intresting ur take cause i read alot of weston a price and many cultures highly praised organ meats, and lastly ive read that organs meat spoil faster and should be used within 1 day or 2, is that true? and could i possible freeze my organs cause i can only get it once a week from my butcher, much love mr chek
Hello, Organ meats are a very important part of a human diet in my opinion. The organs carry specific nutrients, and contain cells and molecules that our body can use to repair the same organ eaten; you eat kidneys and you gain nutrient and structural support for your own kidneys; this is true of glands as well, as has been demonstrated with radio marker studies where they follow the molecules through your body after eating them using x-ray analysis. Organ meats SHOULD NOT be eaten if the animal is not of an organic free-range source; the more toxic the animal is, the more toxic the organs are. The liver is one of the most commonly eaten organ meats because it is a form of dense nutrition, but the liver is a chief organ of detoxification, so a sick animal will have a toxic liver (kidneys, and the rest)... Organ meats, in my experience, don't go bad unusually fast if they are purchased fresh; since few people today eat them, they often sit on the shelf longer than other meats. They can be frozen if need be. It is my personal practice to eat some kind of organ meat once every four days as part of my rotation diet plan (My rotation diet plan is in my book "HTEM&BH!") Love and chi, Paul Chek
Paul, is that your back yard? It's absolutely amazing. Thanks for the videos and blogs they are a great help. How would I go about becoming a Practicioner? I'm down here in Peru and wanted to know if it were possible via internet? Thanks, Eric
HI Eric, We are working on having HLC 1 on-line, but it may be a while yet. To become a Practitioner requires that you: A. Choose what entry point you want to take. If you want to start with mastery of exercise technique, program design, and specific assessment skills, the entry point to the Chek Practitioners program is Chek Exercise Coach. B. If you'd prefer to go the Holistic Lifestyle Coach route first, the beginning point is Chek HLC 1. My suggestion for my students it to get to Chek Level 2 and HLC 2, which is a highly functional package of training, from which you can choose to specialize by either going up to Chek Level 3, or HLC 3, both of which offer specialized training to deal with complex cases. C. Go to www.chekinstitute.com and look at the schedule. We run HLC 1 and Chek EC courses in many countries around the world, so you can choose the location that most suits you. Many choose locations they'd like to visit for a vacation and couple their training with a vacation. There are prerequisite courses for Chek EC, and for HLC 1, it is the study of my book, "HTEM&BH!" and my ebook "The Last 4 Doctors" if I remember correctly; the information is on the Chek Institute web site. Hope to see you in training. It is a great time to have these skills. The world is getting to be a toxic place, and...there are a LOT of people willing to pay for this kind of help today. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Paul Chek Are these courses supplementary for health professionals, or are they enough on their own to start working with people? I will definetely get some of those one day, but I am not a professional in any field related to sport and health
JechtNH I am not a practitioner. I've done Exercise Coach and HLC1. I did do 3 semesters at Uni (Exercise Sci), so my knowledge of anatomy and physiology really helped to not be overwhelmed, but it was a very basic knowledge. I would recommend studying Anatomy (bones, joints, muscles structure. basically the names, position and action) and Physiology (about our systems - hormonal, digestive etc). With that knowledge you are a semi-god already. I have to say, after the courses you become very hungry for more and more knowledge ;) It is totally worth it, plus you get to know amazing people - teachers and other students. Also from my experience with alopathic system, those professionals should do these courses.
Hey there Mr.Chek Wanted to ask you about what path should I pursue with regard to choosing a specialty as a future M.D. I am from Turkey but I want to take my residency course in the U.S. Here is the problem; if I get into an osteopathy program ( by taking the exam called United States Medical Licensing Examination /USMLE). I will not be an osteopath, I will be an M.D who took an osteopathy course for 3 years. As far as I know, D.O. is just another way of saying medical doctor but their approach is different.( Musculoskeletal maneuvers compared to precribing Voltaren for example). So there are Orthopedic Surgeon D.Os or Endocrinologist D.Os etc. What I hesitate over is that ıf I take my time to work and study really hard for the USMLE and then get into a D.O program ( which is not exactly a specialty, I will not end up being a D.O still; but I can practice that way) I will be lacking somewhat because I will not have a main specialty like Physical Medicine and Rehab for example. I hope I could express my enquiry here since these stuff is really crucial for me; I want to deal with the mind and body inspired from you. But this cannot happen If I cant figure this out. ( Getting into another specialty program will require me to take the USMLE exam once again, which I quite frankly would not want to do). Hope you can give me a hand with this Love and Chi Yiğit Ünlü
Hi, First off, the more you practice and live the kind of teachings I share, THE MORE challenges you are sure to have in either an MD, or a DO program! Even the MOST holistic programs for MD's and DO's are still far behind what I teach; I have coached MANY of both back to health, and have had many of both take my HLC and Chek Practitioner trainings. I know of people from my program that went back to school to get medical degree, and they were CONSTANTLY having battles with their professors over the "blind spots" that they were completely overlooking in their so-called "holistic medical training programs"...and in each case, they ended up being reprimanded, and even getting letters of warning that if they kept "interrupting class with their challenges" that they would be expelled from the program! Personally, having seen a number of your questions now, I think it is time for you to sit under a very tall tree and get CRYSTAL clear as to: A. What it is that inspires you to be a doctor? B. Is being an MD or DO really an accurate reflection of what it is that you desire to share with people, or is it an unconscious urge to gain a sense of power or prestige; or is it the need to impress your parents, family, and/or friends? C. What will happen inside you when you get all this training, and find that you can't do what you intended to do....for if you actually do what I teach in that environment, hell's fire is likely to rain down upon you. I know of MANY MD's that were warned, and then lost their medical license for doing things like giving nutritional advice or supplementation, spending time with clients and learning about their life stories, only to find that the real cause of their illnesses was something simple, like a lack of sleep, lack of exercise, faulty breathing patterns, etc...and didn't give them drugs, didn't take x-rays or scanns, and...got great results! This is a big stress point for the drug establishment, which OWNS the medical establishment; 60% of the average medical students fees are paid to medical schools by drug companies so they can "get inside the schools and program doctors to be drug pushers"...so they don't take it lightly when people like you come along and threaten the MONEY MACHINE. When Laurence Dickey, MD wrote the book "Clinical Ecology", which as a vast array of scientific studies showing that 90% of all the illnesses treated by medical doctors were from negative reactions to food (intolerance and allergy), they tried to have his book banned, and tried to take his medical license away! There is an amazing book published in about 1938, called "Body Mechanics In Health and Disease", of which Joel E. Goldthwait, MD was the chief author. He was a master of corrective exercise and saved MANY from surgery with corrective exercises....they tried to take his medical license away!... A book that highlights all this kind of stuff, and much more, such as doctors successful at treating cancer suddenly "disappearing from the earth", uncanny suicides among successful physicians using natural cures or "their own cures", and much more. That book is called "Politics In Healing" by Dan Haley (trying to go from memory here so the title may be just slightly off, but the book is out there and is a shocker). Another great book it titled "The Medical Mafia" by a female MD from Canada, who was sued by the Canadian medical board for "being a good physician" and the book describes her long, arduous, expensive battle to protect herself....there are many more like these... Of course I have no attachment to your choice. My only interest in sharing my wisdom with you is encouraging you to "get clear" on your motives and interests. I get the feeling you are confused as to "who you are vs. who you are trying to become"... Time for meditation and honest self-reflection my friend. If you want to do what I teach, then simply go through my training. Many of my practitioners make much more than the typical medical doctor and as much as a good surgeon. There are LOADS of people willing to pay for skilled holistic health guidance today, thanks to the failing medical system, and our bogus nutritional degree programs...and our almost useless exercise industry, in which you can get a personal trainers license from the Internet... Should you decide to take the "doctor" route, then why not just move to the country you want to go to school in, meet the requirements there, do the training, and then go where you wish. Seems a wiser, easier thing to do. Love and chi, Paul Chek
Hey there, I am enjoying your videos, and lessons. I think your dog may be thinking you were acting a bit odd from what he is used to expecting, and you may want to consider what your dog has to share with you. Also, I lived in Toronto, North York around the time of the new millennium, and originally wrote the words. "Life is all about Relationships. Relations are all about Trust." etc. Not sure if you came across those, but at any-rate I also have come to similar understanding as in another of your videos where you describe Consciousness Rising. I may have some value to share also.
I live in Vista, Ca. You are seeing the view from my office, in Escondido, which is right on the edge of Valley Center, Ca. We are in a unique position here. We are at 1500 ft. elevation, and on the north east side of us is mountains and desert, and on the west side, as I head down the mountain to go home, I can see the ocean. That's why I call this place "Heaven". Love and chi, Paul Chek
No. I pioneered the use of the Swiss ball as: 1. a modality that can be effectively used to condition athletes. 2. A tool that can be used effectively with free weights, machines, cables, etc. I was the first person to develop videos on the Swiss ball for functional rehabilitation, strength training, and was the first person to teach a professional sports team how to use the ball as part of their conditioning program, which was the Chicago Bulls, during the Jordan era. I've been a consultant to the Bulls many times, and they were also the first to apply my core conditioning concepts. I started working with the Swss ball in 1988. Back then, I couldn't find a single physical therapist that actually knew how to use it intelligently, other than those that worked in pure neurological rehab with things like strokes and other injuries to the CNS. I studied all the available literature on the use of the Swiss ball from around the world, mastered it, and advanced the science and practical applications FAR beyond anything that was being done at the time. I've taught countless numbers of workshops in Europe, where the physiotherapists are MUCH more highly trained and skilled in general than most places in the world, and many elite doctors and therapists from the orthopedic rehabilitation community attended my workshops, and all of them told me that what I'd developed was miles ahead of any training they'd ever seen or experienced with the use of the Swiss ball. So, there's a short story on my relationship with the Swiss ball. Love and chi, Paul Chek
A. That pug is NOT fat....she has lots of muscle. That's just the body shape of a pug. If you picked her up to touched her body, you'd feel plenty of muscle and little fat. B. She's not sad, just loves her mother's attention, and loves having the camera pointed at her...she's a professional (dog) model and loves to be in the lime light, so when she's not, she gets board. Love and chi, Paul Chek

Hi Jamie,
I couldn't answer your question where you left it because for some reason, there was no reply box...
Answer: Yes, I've studied the Course In Miracles a fair bit. I haven't read the whole document page for page, but did a fair bit of reading in it, and studied a course on all aspects of it.
There is certainly some useful materials in there, but it is LOADED with Christian concepts that are:
A. Out dated.
B. Entangling, and will cause confusion in the psyche of those without deep enough spiritual training to "weed out" the mind viruses of Christian origin.
I found it quite sad that a book with so much potential is stained with such dis-empowering language and concepts. I'd say it is one step in the right direction away from orthodox Christian concepts, and good for those at that level of their own spiritual development, but compared to the Tao Te Ching, (for those that understand Lao Tzu's teachings), it's not only massively verbose, but like a tangled web where Lao Tzu's teachings are like a natural diamond.

Hey Paul,
Do you have any material you recommend that explores the dis-empowering beliefs of Christianity? I think that would be very interesting.
I look forward to learning from Angie this june in Toronto
This is so simple yet profound. Thank you. I'm a big fan as well.
Thank you Paul

When I find that there are specific cells, organs, glands or tissues that need nutritional support because the individual's lifestyle and stressors have resulted in Mal-absorption, I suggest specific nutrition, but at that point, it is being used as a form of temporary medicine of sorts.
I teach all this in my HLC 2 program, so if you and others want to actually learn the art and science of healing, that is the place to do it.
Try following the directions in my Last 4 Doctors ebook and complete the book as a self-healing lesson and you are likely to find the real cause of your problems. The stomach responds strongly to anxiety, just as a little tip. I see your call tag is "Primal movement"...so...do you think primal man was searching the trees for vitamins to address stomach issues...? If they had stomach issues, it would have been in response to temporary stressors, such as territorial competition for food that lasted long enough to threaten the individual's survival, or a parasite infection.
If you think you may have a parasite infection, you'll need to study my DVD series on that, in which I give a number of specific suggestions.

Nono i didn't mean vitamins supplements. Simply it would be cool to know like if i come home from a hard day of training going into the fridge and lets say i have kidneys liver,brains or beef hearts which one is mostly suitable for physical exercise. And while indeed they did not search trees for vitamin pills they had certain knowledge about foods like giving fathers or mothers to be specific foodstuffs. I just think it would be a powerful tool to have. I am asking this like the icing on the cake if you understand. I dare say i do know enough of the four doctors just through thinking and watching all your videos and books. Perhaps brains are could be good for exercise or inflammation because of all the cholestrol this is stuff i ponder like play not as a must do this or that right all the time but the fact that you can make your body more radiant and deep through high quality superfoods like organs and butter is fascinating. Just how powerfull can humans become and have been? How could the mongols survive their harsch environment and how could soldiers fight days on end. Just cool you know. Even though there are books describing what they did. It is more interestingg to me if they did all this and still pooped perfect poops and felt great and strong not just overtrained haha. If i feel anxiety i know it is just something in the body i find it almost impossible not to be almost childishly serene most of the time when i got the health in my pocket not doing russian roulette with things and trusting that if i have trained hard i just need rest and food and then im back. Perhaps you know some books for this since alot of your courses are sort of a choice between food and certifications and id rather check out of the game for a while.
hey paul recently got ur healing fungal and parasite infections dvd set, amazing work looking forward following ur guidance in those dvds! i know i have fungal infections and probably parasite too, had dandruff for a very long time had ringworm several time showing up on my skin. the thing is i am a active guy who followed ur book and 4 doctor approach for almost a year now and the only question left i got is i do not understand how to get enough food when following ur protocol to avoid all root veggies/beans and peas, since i usually feel pretty good on some carbs and do not get any high and low during the day, and when i eat to much meat i usually get very hard poop and feel a little constipated and when eating alot of fat i usually get more of a oily poop, and my body cannot handle seeds and nuts eeither so having a hard time get enough food in my diet when avoiding all root veggies. and theres so little calories in lean meat but to much fat does not feel to good either. would love some general tips that might make me understand how to go about the protocol and not meaby even get worse health problems hehe! much chi Paul ur the man love ur work!
Greetings Paul ive got a question for you that i would really appreciate some guidance, i live here in sweden where its illeagal with Raw dairy, i really spent some time calling Organic farms and finally got a hold of a good guy who did let me come get some milk, the thing is its a really long drive and my plan is to fill my entire car with milk and probably make some butter at home some kefir, and have plain milk left and probably freeze most of it to last me meaby 6 months or so. Is this the route u would reccomend or could u please give me some tip how to get the most benefit of my dairy in use of some kind of storing/ferment technique or should i just freeze it? will it lose alot of benefits? ive search for answer on the internet but could not get any accurate thats why im asking since i know The chek way is always so different than most *health expert* way, thank you paul much love. living the 4 doctor approach and following ur book for a while now!
Paul I'd like to learn from your meditation master Maggie (AKA: your dog) 😂
HI Paul, after some consideration ive realized that eating all my meats raw just searing it or quick flashboiling is far superior to cooking in almost all ways. However recently i got bad stomach infection or something after eating a lambshead. Are there any good natural medicins that you can take right afterwards if you experience anything bad and that could possibly prevent further problems?
Yes, this is one of the real challenges with eating raw meats.
It is one thing to eat raw meats when you know the animals, how they are cared for, their overall health, and can adapt to the bacterial populations they carry over time. On our farm, we ate our own beef raw quite often, but it was excellent quality. There has always been problems with people eating raw bird meats for as long as I've been coaching people on diet and health issues. The bacterial strains can vary widely among them...
My recommendation is that you ALWAYS carry a bottle of extra strength Oregonol P73; you can get it from most health food stores or from www.americanwildfoods.com
A therapeutic dose is five drops, which you can chase with water. Oregonol (oil of oregano) is a very powerful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and is very supportive of immune function. I carry it wherever I go on the road due to exposure to so many different foods on the road.
Another excellent tool is Young Living Essential Oils "Thieves", which is also a very powerful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal oil. It is very powerful, and I'd recommend only taking 1-2 drops shaken into a water bottle at a time until you see how you respond. It is even stronger than oregonol, but I'd only recommend using it when you feel you are fighting something off. You can get comprehensive directions for use from Young Living. They don't sell direct to the public, but you can become a distributor through the Chek Institute; once you make your initial order, you get a big retailers discount, which pretty much makes the initial purchase to become a distributor worth it if you use the oils with any regularity. If you can't find the Young Living information on the Chek Institute web site, just email them or call them and someone can help you.
It may be a good time now for you to study the audio recording of my "Primal Pattern Eating" webinar, where I teach you three ways to get guidance from your body as to what to, and what not to eat. Using both muscle testing, and soul-connection (which I explain in the program), you can save yourself from eating foods your body won't respond well to. It is using these and other methods I teach that have allowed me to not miss a single day of work due to illness in just under 32 years now.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Im not sure it was the raw meat though but you never know, this has been an excellent oppurtunity for me to see what really works. Since i live quite isolated i can easily see when something works for my mind body mood or overall background feeling. So i got a chance to see what my body really needed to repair my gut after all the horrors.and restore my energy. Thank you for your long answer and i will order these oils since i heard they are food good usage anyhow. The organs i eat look really deeply coloroued and beatiful in my opinion and intellectually it is grassfed organic so im not too worried.
Hey Paul Just wanted ur take on organ meats vs muscle meats whats the biggest difference and how has urself and ur client responded to organs, does they have mostly similar effect as muscle? would be intresting ur take cause i read alot of weston a price and many cultures highly praised organ meats, and lastly ive read that organs meat spoil faster and should be used within 1 day or 2, is that true? and could i possible freeze my organs cause i can only get it once a week from my butcher, much love mr chek
Hello,
Organ meats are a very important part of a human diet in my opinion. The organs carry specific nutrients, and contain cells and molecules that our body can use to repair the same organ eaten; you eat kidneys and you gain nutrient and structural support for your own kidneys; this is true of glands as well, as has been demonstrated with radio marker studies where they follow the molecules through your body after eating them using x-ray analysis.
Organ meats SHOULD NOT be eaten if the animal is not of an organic free-range source; the more toxic the animal is, the more toxic the organs are. The liver is one of the most commonly eaten organ meats because it is a form of dense nutrition, but the liver is a chief organ of detoxification, so a sick animal will have a toxic liver (kidneys, and the rest)...
Organ meats, in my experience, don't go bad unusually fast if they are purchased fresh; since few people today eat them, they often sit on the shelf longer than other meats. They can be frozen if need be.
It is my personal practice to eat some kind of organ meat once every four days as part of my rotation diet plan (My rotation diet plan is in my book "HTEM&BH!")

Paul, is that your back yard? It's absolutely amazing. Thanks for the videos and blogs they are a great help. How would I go about becoming a Practicioner? I'm down here in Peru and wanted to know if it were possible via internet? Thanks, Eric
HI Eric,
We are working on having HLC 1 on-line, but it may be a while yet.
To become a Practitioner requires that you:
A. Choose what entry point you want to take. If you want to start with mastery of exercise technique, program design, and specific assessment skills, the entry point to the Chek Practitioners program is Chek Exercise Coach.
B. If you'd prefer to go the Holistic Lifestyle Coach route first, the beginning point is Chek HLC 1. My suggestion for my students it to get to Chek Level 2 and HLC 2, which is a highly functional package of training, from which you can choose to specialize by either going up to Chek Level 3, or HLC 3, both of which offer specialized training to deal with complex cases.
C. Go to www.chekinstitute.com and look at the schedule. We run HLC 1 and Chek EC courses in many countries around the world, so you can choose the location that most suits you. Many choose locations they'd like to visit for a vacation and couple their training with a vacation.
There are prerequisite courses for Chek EC, and for HLC 1, it is the study of my book, "HTEM&BH!" and my ebook "The Last 4 Doctors" if I remember correctly; the information is on the Chek Institute web site.
Hope to see you in training.
It is a great time to have these skills. The world is getting to be a toxic place, and...there are a LOT of people willing to pay for this kind of help today.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Paul Chek Are these courses supplementary for health professionals, or are they enough on their own to start working with people? I will definetely get some of those one day, but I am not a professional in any field related to sport and health
JechtNH
I am not a practitioner. I've done Exercise Coach and HLC1. I did do 3 semesters at Uni (Exercise Sci), so my knowledge of anatomy and physiology really helped to not be overwhelmed, but it was a very basic knowledge. I would recommend studying Anatomy (bones, joints, muscles structure. basically the names, position and action) and Physiology (about our systems - hormonal, digestive etc). With that knowledge you are a semi-god already.
I have to say, after the courses you become very hungry for more and more knowledge ;) It is totally worth it, plus you get to know amazing people - teachers and other students.
Also from my experience with alopathic system, those professionals should do these courses.
Hey there Mr.Chek
Wanted to ask you about what path should I pursue with regard to choosing a specialty as a future M.D. I am from Turkey but I want to take my residency course in the U.S. Here is the problem; if I get into an osteopathy program ( by taking the exam called United States Medical Licensing Examination /USMLE). I will not be an osteopath, I will be an M.D who took an osteopathy course for 3 years. As far as I know, D.O. is just another way of saying medical doctor but their approach is different.( Musculoskeletal maneuvers compared to precribing Voltaren for example). So there are Orthopedic Surgeon D.Os or Endocrinologist D.Os etc. What I hesitate over is that ıf I take my time to work and study really hard for the USMLE and then get into a D.O program ( which is not exactly a specialty, I will not end up being a D.O still; but I can practice that way) I will be lacking somewhat because I will not have a main specialty like Physical Medicine and Rehab for example. I hope I could express my enquiry here since these stuff is really crucial for me; I want to deal with the mind and body inspired from you. But this cannot happen If I cant figure this out. ( Getting into another specialty program will require me to take the USMLE exam once again, which I quite frankly would not want to do). Hope you can give me a hand with this

Hi,
First off, the more you practice and live the kind of teachings I share, THE MORE challenges you are sure to have in either an MD, or a DO program!
Even the MOST holistic programs for MD's and DO's are still far behind what I teach; I have coached MANY of both back to health, and have had many of both take my HLC and Chek Practitioner trainings. I know of people from my program that went back to school to get medical degree, and they were CONSTANTLY having battles with their professors over the "blind spots" that they were completely overlooking in their so-called "holistic medical training programs"...and in each case, they ended up being reprimanded, and even getting letters of warning that if they kept "interrupting class with their challenges" that they would be expelled from the program!
Personally, having seen a number of your questions now, I think it is time for you to sit under a very tall tree and get CRYSTAL clear as to:
A. What it is that inspires you to be a doctor?
B. Is being an MD or DO really an accurate reflection of what it is that you desire to share with people, or is it an unconscious urge to gain a sense of power or prestige; or is it the need to impress your parents, family, and/or friends?
C. What will happen inside you when you get all this training, and find that you can't do what you intended to do....for if you actually do what I teach in that environment, hell's fire is likely to rain down upon you. I know of MANY MD's that were warned, and then lost their medical license for doing things like giving nutritional advice or supplementation, spending time with clients and learning about their life stories, only to find that the real cause of their illnesses was something simple, like a lack of sleep, lack of exercise, faulty breathing patterns, etc...and didn't give them drugs, didn't take x-rays or scanns, and...got great results! This is a big stress point for the drug establishment, which OWNS the medical establishment; 60% of the average medical students fees are paid to medical schools by drug companies so they can "get inside the schools and program doctors to be drug pushers"...so they don't take it lightly when people like you come along and threaten the MONEY MACHINE. When Laurence Dickey, MD wrote the book "Clinical Ecology", which as a vast array of scientific studies showing that 90% of all the illnesses treated by medical doctors were from negative reactions to food (intolerance and allergy), they tried to have his book banned, and tried to take his medical license away!
There is an amazing book published in about 1938, called "Body Mechanics In Health and Disease", of which Joel E. Goldthwait, MD was the chief author. He was a master of corrective exercise and saved MANY from surgery with corrective exercises....they tried to take his medical license away!... A book that highlights all this kind of stuff, and much more, such as doctors successful at treating cancer suddenly "disappearing from the earth", uncanny suicides among successful physicians using natural cures or "their own cures", and much more. That book is called "Politics In Healing" by Dan Haley (trying to go from memory here so the title may be just slightly off, but the book is out there and is a shocker). Another great book it titled "The Medical Mafia" by a female MD from Canada, who was sued by the Canadian medical board for "being a good physician" and the book describes her long, arduous, expensive battle to protect herself....there are many more like these...
Of course I have no attachment to your choice. My only interest in sharing my wisdom with you is encouraging you to "get clear" on your motives and interests. I get the feeling you are confused as to "who you are vs. who you are trying to become"... Time for meditation and honest self-reflection my friend.
If you want to do what I teach, then simply go through my training. Many of my practitioners make much more than the typical medical doctor and as much as a good surgeon. There are LOADS of people willing to pay for skilled holistic health guidance today, thanks to the failing medical system, and our bogus nutritional degree programs...and our almost useless exercise industry, in which you can get a personal trainers license from the Internet...
Should you decide to take the "doctor" route, then why not just move to the country you want to go to school in, meet the requirements there, do the training, and then go where you wish. Seems a wiser, easier thing to do.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
Paul Chek Many Many Thanks
Paul Chek I appreciate your response, thanks a lot Mr. Chek. See you in 6-7 years :)
Hey there, I am enjoying your videos, and lessons. I think your dog may be thinking you were acting a bit odd from what he is used to expecting, and you may want to consider what your dog has to share with you.
Also, I lived in Toronto, North York around the time of the new millennium, and originally wrote the words. "Life is all about Relationships. Relations are all about Trust." etc. Not sure if you came across those, but at any-rate I also have come to similar understanding as in another of your videos where you describe Consciousness Rising. I may have some value to share also.
Paul where do You live? The view is beautiful!
I live in Vista, Ca.
You are seeing the view from my office, in Escondido, which is right on the edge of Valley Center, Ca. We are in a unique position here. We are at 1500 ft. elevation, and on the north east side of us is mountains and desert, and on the west side, as I head down the mountain to go home, I can see the ocean. That's why I call this place "Heaven".
Love and chi,

Paul, did you invent the Swiss Ball?
No.
I pioneered the use of the Swiss ball as:
1. a modality that can be effectively used to condition athletes.
2. A tool that can be used effectively with free weights, machines, cables, etc.
I was the first person to develop videos on the Swiss ball for functional rehabilitation, strength training, and was the first person to teach a professional sports team how to use the ball as part of their conditioning program, which was the Chicago Bulls, during the Jordan era. I've been a consultant to the Bulls many times, and they were also the first to apply my core conditioning concepts.
I started working with the Swss ball in 1988. Back then, I couldn't find a single physical therapist that actually knew how to use it intelligently, other than those that worked in pure neurological rehab with things like strokes and other injuries to the CNS. I studied all the available literature on the use of the Swiss ball from around the world, mastered it, and advanced the science and practical applications FAR beyond anything that was being done at the time.
I've taught countless numbers of workshops in Europe, where the physiotherapists are MUCH more highly trained and skilled in general than most places in the world, and many elite doctors and therapists from the orthopedic rehabilitation community attended my workshops, and all of them told me that what I'd developed was miles ahead of any training they'd ever seen or experienced with the use of the Swiss ball.
So, there's a short story on my relationship with the Swiss ball.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
I kinda think the Doggie (Maggie) should join in....
That right there is one fat and sad pug.
A. That pug is NOT fat....she has lots of muscle. That's just the body shape of a pug. If you picked her up to touched her body, you'd feel plenty of muscle and little fat.
B. She's not sad, just loves her mother's attention, and loves having the camera pointed at her...she's a professional (dog) model and loves to be in the lime light, so when she's not, she gets board.
Love and chi,
Paul Chek
wtf?!?
