Terminal Illness, Adrenal Insufficiency, healed by Mother Nature

🌿 When “No Hope” Meets Nature: Tempi’s True Story of Healing and Faith

What do you do when the doctors say, “There’s nothing left to do”?
When your baby’s future is declared terminal — blind, hormone failure, and a life measured in weeks?

You do what one courageous mother did.
You follow hope.
You turn to True Health.


✨ A Mother’s Faith, A Doctor’s “Pssshaw”

Tempi was born “okay.” But just hours later, she crashed.
Her blood sugar dropped to 22 (normal is 80–120). She spent seven days in the NICU — tiny, fragile, fighting for her life.

At six months, her parents noticed something new: her eyes crossed and jumped uncontrollably.
They rushed to a specialist.

“Optic nerve hypoplasia and nystagmus,” the ophthalmologist said.
“She’ll be blind for life. There’s nothing you can do.”

A second specialist added even worse news:

“Her pituitary and adrenal glands didn’t develop. She has adrenal insufficiency and hypopituitarism.
She’ll die without prednisone and Synthroid. Immediately.”

That was the moment everything stopped.
And then Mom said the words that changed everything:

“We’re getting another opinion.”


🩺 The Turning Point: True Health

This wasn’t Mom’s first brush with medical despair.
During pregnancy, she’d battled fevers up to 105° for three months — and her doctors had no answers.
Desperate, she came to True Health.

We ran tests beyond insurance “guidelines” — tests that look for root causes.
We discovered autoimmune thyroid disease triggered by chronic infection.
We treated her naturally. And she healed.

But the toll of those months left its mark on her baby.


🧠 Healing Through Stimulation and Faith

When Mom shared Tempi’s story, I didn’t see a “hopeless” case.
I saw potential.

I explained Functional Neurology — the science showing that even damaged nerves can regrow through stimulation: movement, touch, sound, sight, smell, vibration, even prayer.

“Whatever you stimulate, grows — if there’s even one spark of life left.”

Universities like UAB are proving this. Stroke patients who can’t move a hand are regaining function through repeated stimulation.
So we thought, why not the optic nerve?


🌿 God’s Medicine: Cordyceps and Ashwagandha

While working on sensory and motor stimulation, we added plant medicine — Nature’s pharmacy, the original design:

🌱 Cordyceps, a medicinal mushroom from the Himalayas, has been shown to support pituitary and adrenal hormone production.
🌿 Ashwagandha, used for over 3,000 years, helps the body rest, restore, and naturally increase thyroid hormone levels.

And together with faith and persistence — the healing began.


⚖️ When Faith Meets “The System”

But when you challenge a medical death sentence, the system fights back.

Child Protective Services showed up.

“We’ve been told you’re endangering your child by refusing medical treatment.”

Mom’s “crime”? Choosing hope over hopelessness.

After an investigation, the state demanded a “third opinion.”
Mom chose the most open-minded endocrinologist she could find.
He still repeated the same verdict:

“There’s no hope. Medication is the only way.”

She nodded through tears to keep her baby safe — but the next morning she called back:

“Retest the labs. I’m not following your plan. My baby is getting better.”


👀 And Then… She Saw the Light

One day, Mom turned on the kitchen light — and Tempi looked up.
The “blind” baby reached for a bottle on the counter.
She started pointing at the moon and touching shadows.

The impossible had begun to unfold.


🎂 Four Years Later: Thriving Beyond Prognosis

Today, Tempi is four years old — walking, laughing, seeing, and thriving.
She’s a big sister. Her little brother doesn’t even know she was ever “disabled.”

Her lab results?
Her growth hormone levels rose from 828 to 1100 — nearly normal (1113–3180).
No synthetic hormones. No steroids. Just Nature, stimulation, and unwavering faith.

When her endocrinologist saw her, he said quietly,

“Wow… this is incredible.”

Then he looked back at his chart and muttered, “She’s too short.”

Dr. P — look up. She’s alive.


💚 Faith Over Fear. Nature Over Numbness.

Tempi’s story isn’t just about one child.
It’s a message for every person who’s ever been told, “There’s nothing more we can do.”

Healing doesn’t come from fear, chemicals, or compliance.
It comes from faith, nourishment, and the body’s divine ability to repair itself.

“We were prepared for blindness — but we were open to miracles.”

And Nature delivered.

And Nature wrote it first.

Why Depression Causes Fatigue

Integrative Natural Medicine offers proven relief of anxiety and depression symptoms.

It is well established that if you have signs of depression, it is associated with elevated levels of stress hormones.  Cortisol and Adrenaline are produced by your adrenal glands for survival needs in acute stress.  In chronic stress, these hormones gradually deplete brain neurotransmitters like serotonin, and even are known to cause brain degenerative changes to the structure of the brain.

In the body, they deplete energy reserves, resulting in chronic fatigue.

When stress wears you down to the point of Depression, a proven remedy is True Mood Lift.  This is what this proven medicine contains, the names of the plants.

Albizia: In China researchers wanted to substantiate the traditional use of Albizia for anxiety and confusion.  In animal models, they induced stress through acute restraint and then tested their response to stress with the “open field and maze test.”  Open field measures the rats willingness to explore new territory.  Rats fed Albizia after acute restraint were significantly more willing to explore, and more capable to traverse a maze than the placebo fed rats.  They concluded that Albizia is significantly effective in reducing anxiety even after fearing for your life.  Wow.  Molecules. 2017 Aug 11;22(8)

Blessed Thistle: In Romania, doctors consulted historical text books and ancient healers described Blessed Thistle as increasing euphoria.   They studied the nourishment of this plant and results convinced them that it would likely have a positive impact on brain health, happiness, and memory.  And that we should really give this to humans, because it’s absolutely safe.   Pharmacogn Mag. 2015 May; 11(Suppl 1): S110–S116

Two other plants in the formulation are just as important!

Licorice: Multiple studies in China proves that Licorice improves depression.  They even reached the point of using it with patients.  This study is an inquiry into how it works so well.  They described the mechanism in words even I can’t understand, but I did understand that it decreased cortisol and adrenaline, and they concluded: Licorice improved depressive activity even under “unpredictable stress exposure.” Yao Xue Xue Bao. 2012 Dec;47 . (The article is transcribed to english if you want to try)

Lemon Balm: “The changes observed on brain scan 2 hours after ingestion of lemon balm revealed increased activation in brain centers associated with working memory and relaxation states.” Eur J Med Res. 2004 Sep 29;9(9):423-31.

Is Paxil the best Antidepressant?

St. Johns Wort: Compared side by side to Paxil, a pharmaceutical prescribed for depression, and a placebo, St. Johns Wort decreased standardized depression questionnaire scores by 70% more than Paxil.  And while both improved depression better than a placebo, St. John’s Wort showed results in a higher percentage of patients than Paxil (87 vs 60%) and remission (complete resolution) rates were higher. (71 vs 42%).  . 2007 Sep; 53(9).

Suma is known as Brazilian Ginseng because it increases strength and resilience to stress, both of which has been scientifically validated in Ginseng many times over.   It is proven to decrease inflammation, Int Immunopharmacol., the strength of red blood cells in Sickle Cell Anemia, Clin Hemorheol Microcirc., causes weakening and degeneration of hurtful breast cancer cells, Exp Toxicol Pathol., and reduced the size and number of lesions in cancer of the liver. Cancer Lett.

We use Suma in True Mood Lift for its toughness.  Research proves Suma to contain toughness, multiple times.  You can get a Mood Lift or two in our online store,

Our guarantee

If you buy two, and disappointed by the first bottle, if you ship the second back to True Health, I’ll refund your full purchase price, so trying it out would only cost shipping back a 2 oz bottle.  (still sealed of course).

Better yet, you get the healing you desire, for a relatively low cost!  Check out this story of one of my patients with a very interesting cause of depression.  Not sure if True Mood Lift would have worked without our diagnostic testing in her case.  Try one first, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll send all your money back so you can put it toward our diagnostic testing.  I consult all over the world.

Another interesting article on depression.  The many ways that depression “feels.”  True Mood Lift works on all types of depression.

Will Depression Ever Go Away

What is Major Depression?

I was taught is that there are two types of Major Depression.  Low Noradrenalin feels lower than a snakes belly with not enough strength to get out of bed.  Low Serotonin feels like agitated sadness and crying.

That’s what both medicine and functional medicine teach.

Five elements or Natural Law teaches that every element has a unique form of depression.

Fire: No motive to move.

Earth: I’m not good enough.

Metal: Life is so heavy and cutting.

Water: So disappointing.

Wood: Everyone hurts me.

They call the brain Regulation or Governing Vessel.  That depression feels like no will to live.

Grab a bottle of True Mood Lift in our online store, and download a copy of my 16 page article, the Five Energy Needs.  True Mood Lift will give you strength and increase happiness.  The Five Energy Needs explains what to do for no motive to move and the other four elements.

It also tells you what to do if your partner doesn’t keep their word, is disrespectful or inattentive, self centered or helpless, or doesn’t appreciate you.

If you can come up with another type of depression, leave a comment below and I’ll send you a trial size for free.  To be fair, I will have to agree that it is a unique feeling, not just another name for the 13 versions I described above.

Check out this story of healing depression.  She had the crying type and her root cause was unbelievable.  Don’t believe what you have heard, there is always a root cause.

Imagine going to a mechanic with a car symptom, and they told you, “We call it car-itis.  We aren’t sure what causes it, but if you put in these earplugs, you won’t be able to hear it.  It’s getting old you know, you have to learn to live with some clunking.”  Lol.

Improve Focus, Memory Loss and Brain Fog Naturally

True Focus improved Alzheimers Disease in a clinical trial!

If I had Alzheimer’s Disease, I’d follow this protocol.  It includes True Focus, but at that stage I’d push healing more intensely.  But, it would be a smarter move to meet your needs with nourishing medicine at the first sign of memory loss.

Awhile back, I walked downstairs and couldn’t remember what I had come for!  Twice in one weekend.  I started taking True Focus after the second time, and it resolved my “memory loss.”  True Focus is nourishment for our most important organ.  Our Brain!

It improves a scattered and overwhelmed brain, distracted brain, ADD, ADHD, brain fog, and memory loss.

And yes, it even helps a diseased brain, Alzheimer’s Disease.

This research study is a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial from India.

In doctor language, that means the most highly regarded scientific proof.  Indian doctors investigated the effects of Wild Yam and Bacopa on Alzheimers patients, compared to a placebo and Aricept, the number one pharmaceutical for Alzheimers disease.

alzheimer'sThey tested over 100 patients with Alzheimer’s Disease using a variety of memory and focus tasks, and lab tests for inflammation and oxidation, which are characteristic lab findings in Alzheimer’s disease.  They concluded: Administration of the plant formulation for a period of 12 months resulted in a significant improvement in cognitive function, depression, and lab markers for inflammation and oxidative stress in the Alzheimers patients, when compared to placebo and Aricept.”  (1).

The significance of this study is that Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease.

Medical care focuses on slowing the progression and extending life, because nothing has offered improvement, including Aricept.  These plants created a healing trend in a hopeless disease!

True Focus also contains Gingko Biloba: “In Europe, Ginkgo Biloba is a “registered drug” for the treatment of age-related cognitive decline including memory and concentration problems.

“Clinical efficacy in cognitive decline and dementia has been confirmed by a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials.” (2)

Lemon Balm: “The changes observed on brain scan 2 hours after ingestion of lemon balm revealed increased activation in brain centers associated with working memory and relaxation states.”(3).

St. Johns Wort: Compared side by side to Paxil, a pharmaceutical prescribed for depression, and a placebo, St. Johns Wort decreased standardized depression questionnaire scores by 70% more than Paxil.  And while both improved depression compared to placebo, St. John’s Wort showed results in a higher percentage of patients than Paxil (87 vs 60%) and remission (complete resolution) rates were higher. (71 vs 42%).  

Plants work better than a pharmaceutical?

We’ve been so deeply convinced that nature only offers snake oil and is unscientific and probably dangerous.  “You can’t control Nature.”

No Sir, you can’t control Nature, but you can trust Her.dementia

I trust Nature more than these folks!

Click on “our online store” below to order True Focus!
