It's Eric Bakker, New Zealand naturopath. Thanks so much for checking out my video today. This video has got nothing to do with Candida. It's got nothing to do with that topic at all. This is just a video to tell people my wife and I have just come back from Las Vegas. In fact, we were one of the last planes to leave after the tragic events that occurred at Mandalay Bay.

We were in Mandalay Bay because there was a big trade show there we attended regarding raw materials. A lot of people from around the world come there to showcase their raw ingredients to the world in terms of natural medicine, foods, beverages and things like that. I met a lot of cool people there. I've got a lot of contacts now. I've had a lot of contacts. I met people there I haven't seen for years. It's the industry I do. It's what I've been doing a long, long time. 

The purpose of this video is to explain that these events can occur anytime, anyplace. Las Vegas, London, Paris. You could be anywhere in the world and there could be some crazy guy with a mental health problem with a gun. The thing is anxiety is a big thing. Many Americans I spoke with are now quite anxious about events that are occurring, both in their country as part of the Trump Administration, but also events around the world in general. A lot of people aren't very happy. You can't let these things put your life on hold.  

The crazy thing also about two days before the shooting, my wife had a premonition about this. She said to me when we were walking around Mandalay Bay, she said, ìWouldn't it be weird if some guy just came out and started shooting people.î I said, ìThat would be crazy! There's cameras everywhere. There's cops.î For every person we saw, there was like five police with guns. They've always got so many guns and police walking around. And I said, ìIt won't happen.î And two days later, it happens. It can happen anywhere.

But Vegas is a hell of a crazy place. There's so many things to see and do. It's a really cool town, but it's so hot and dry and the food was crap. I found it really difficult to get any kind of good food. We didn't gamble. We didn't drink any alcohol there. And, in fact, I lost four kilograms because I walked everywhere. Uber was great. We ubered all over the place. We had a fantastic time. We met some really weird people. I met Batman. I met Superman. I met Dr. Evil. Dr. Evil was a crazy guy. I don't know if you remember Dr. Evil. He's my hero. But yeah, all in all, we had a fantastic trip and we really enjoyed it.

But if you look at these events and they occur in your life, it's very easy for you to think, ìI'm scared. I don't want to go to these places anymore.î It's going to stop a lot of people going to Las Vegas now, this shooting. It's not going to stop me because I'm going to go back every year to the trade show. It does make me more cautious and more attisent with people. You have to be very careful. But if you keep your wits about you. You don't drink. You don't take drugs. You go to bed on time. Chances are very, very slim that things are going to happen to you.

Living inside the moment is the important thing in life and enjoying the small things every single day that you've got. Because after all, we never know when we are going to go. People in great health tend to relax more. Breathe more deeply and don't worry about things. As soon as you start to worry and develop anxiety ñ I've spoken about this in many of my videos ñ your sympathetic nervous system starts going up and this causes a big problem. You can't sleep properly. You're going to gain weight. You're going to get tired. You're going to get grumpy and mood disorders and things like that. You're going to alienate yourself from a lot of people. 

I hope you take something from this. But all in all, we really like America a lot and we like the craziness of Las Vegas. I take the good things out of things and I tend to just forget about the bad things, what I consider bad. I hope you guys all have an awesome day and live in the moment, folks.
