John Bumpus
Dr. Robert Selig, pleasure to have you here.
Dr Robert Selig
Why, thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
John Bumpus
So I'm wondering as you know, where the mineral minded podcast, we have mineral minded practitioners of all kinds here and here. Are they a peculiar one? That is a chiropractor that specializes in hair tissue, mineral analysis. I know you go into alchemy and astrology and energetics of all sorts of stuff. You're like a modern wizard or shaman. So maybe you can give us a little insight on how you got into hair testing in your journey.
John Bumpus
From being a chiro. Does a lot of physical manipulation to mineral manipulation?
Dr Robert Selig
Yeah. You know, it's an interesting story. Because when I was doing my bachelor work, I was studying at the University of Massachusetts where I was studying sports medicine athletic training, and I had to do a report on the ankle when I was studying the ankle. Somehow I came up on a research article up in the library area, and it was talking about ligaments, tendons, connective tissues.
Dr Robert Selig
And there was a mention of copper. So for whatever reason, that copper just kind of tweaked my interest with the connective tissue connection to copper. And I never forgot about that. It wasn't in my report, of course, but that was the first thing that, oh, copper in, you know, in the medical articles really fascinated me. And then I just did a little bit of digging and I found about Wilson's disease and and then I had that in the back of my mind.
Dr Robert Selig
And as, as a young kid, I was always breaking in bones, spraining ligaments, pulling muscles. You know, every time I went to the dentist, I had a cavity. So between breaking bones and hurting myself, I knew I was a mess. And that's what got me into chiropractic school. So I thought the chiropractic adjustment would fix everything. I didn't.
Dr Robert Selig
So then I had to do a little bit more digging. And then in chiropractic school, we didn't really get much into the minerals. In fact, magnesium was not mentioned once in chiropractic school. Think about that. Not only did.
John Bumpus
They cover nutrition at all, I'm sure the.
Dr Robert Selig
Administration classes, but, you know, we talked iron, we talked vitamin C, we talked vitamin D, we talked about some of the diseases of nutritional deficiencies. And then I got more into the Wilsons thing. And then I remember reading somewhere in Wilson's, you know, usually the child's born jaundice. And of course I was born jaundice. So I knew that copper just came to me.
Dr Robert Selig
And then after I graduated chiropractic school, I was, you know, doing, you know, adjusting everything. Anyone that would move from cats, dogs, people, I would adjust everything but I wasn't getting the results that I wanted to get. And I was thinking, what was the metabolic portion to this? Why aren't the adjustments holding? I was all you and just everyone.
Dr Robert Selig
You're going to cure every ailment under the sun, which wasn't true. Of course, it helped. That absolutely was a great modality of practice. But I had to figure out what was the obstacle to the cure of why I wasn't taking my patients health to that next better level. Why did their Paynes always come back? And then I started studying, you know, more into the nutrition.
Dr Robert Selig
And then I got into homeopathy. When I started studying homeopathy, That's when I found out about the energetics of things. And then eventually, you know, probably about ten, 12 years ago, I started doing the minerals, the hair tissue analysis to give me a better insight into the mineral matrix. And then that's really what started the journey into hair tissue analysis in understanding how important these minerals are for our physiology, biology, psychology, how cosmology connects to the mineral ology, how it's all connected.
Dr Robert Selig
And that was such a fascinating thing that has kept me on my quest of always seeking information and that's where I am today in a quick Reader's Digest version of my story.
John Bumpus
Hello. That's fantastic. Yeah. At some point I think every practitioner, an acupuncturist or a psychologist who whatever you do, comes to a point where they say, Okay, I've exhausted what I can do in this domain that I, you know, studied in school. And we need to look more of a holistic kind of approach to what's going on. And nothing at least to me, makes more sense than supporting and promoting the optimal cellular function, because I think that's a big one.
John Bumpus
And if you missed that, it's hard to have someone you might have you probably see it every day. Robert, about people that don't support themselves nutritionally and always have muscle cramps and aching pains or whatever in their body, and then they come to you and I suppose you're going to be more into nutritional support as well. I do the adjustment.
John Bumpus
See you tomorrow. I'll see you next week. So do you incorporate nutrition in your practice now and along with homeopathy and stuff?
Dr Robert Selig
Absolutely. It's the foundation of my practice is nutrition and addressing the metabolic aspects of, you know, the cellular integrity because, you know, structure determines function. So that's why we do want to address the structural components but we also if we leave out the metabolic portion, we're missing the mark and we'll never we'll never take someone's health to that next level.
Dr Robert Selig
So that's why in my practice, it's a little bit of everything. So they come to me, they, they're going to know from day one that nutrition will be highly emphasized mineral balancing will be the hallmark of what I'm doing because again, if I don't fix the metabolic portion of the patient, I'll never fix them. And then we'll just be adjusting bone after bone after bone day after day and we'll never get anywhere.
Dr Robert Selig
So I want results. So that's where I want it all.
John Bumpus
Now, that's great. You know, it reminds me of when I studied naturopathy and we were going through, like you mentioned, obstacles to a Cure, which is an important principle. And then the other one is, you know, those disturbing factors in trying to remove those disturbing factors. And they can be physical they can be emotional, they can be you know, I don't know about astrological is I guess there would be some sort of conflicts in that area.
John Bumpus
Do you have any thoughts on that? Where someone might have a predominance toward some sort of challenge or so?
