Case Study-Migraines, Dry Eye Syndrome, and Telogen effluvium

February 8, 2018/0 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

Migraines stole 8 years of life from this woman!

Healing is our birthright, and yet this lady spent 30 years of her life looking for relief from Migraines that left her incapacitated and puking for nearly 2 days every week, for 30 years. If you put those days together in a row, that would be 8 YEARS of pain and puking in bed!!

She also dealt with Fatigue and Depression for 20 years, finally diagnosed as a thyroid problem 18 years ago. Her medical treatment, Synthroid, caused a condition I had never even heard of, called Telogen Effluvium, which is where Lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, attack the bulb of the hair follicle, resulting in hair loss and patches of baldness on her scalp!

What a story, but it doesn’t end there! She started having Seizures 20 years ago. And more recently, she developed Allergies and Dry Eye Syndrome, that she described as feeling like she has hair in her eyes.

She listed 4 doctors seen for the various conditions, and to give credit, a prescription of Phenobarbital had eliminated the seizures. The rest of the symptoms, however, had not improved and even worsened over time. She did get some temporary relief of hair loss with natural and homeopathic supplements that she tried on her own, because her doctors weren’t helping her, but it didn’t last.

Also, in the last couple years, she noticed a feeling like something was in her throat, a lump that felt like pressure on her throat that she described as “feeling strangled!”

WOW! Where to begin!? As always, we look for the ROOT CAUSE! Get the RIGHT diagnosis, which is always the root cause. Her labs revealed that her thyroid problem was Autoimmune. That wasn’t a surprise, as thyroid swelling is often described as a lump or choking. Another woman I treated described it as wearing a metal choker collar! (She has been choker free for several years now!)

With autoimmune disease, we look at the immune system for the root of suffering. Her labs revealed elevated lymphocytes in her blood, which points to a chronic virus. That was the connection between her thyroid and the hair loss condition. She was autoimmune, not hypothyroid! The Synthroid aggravated her immune system by providing more thyroid hormone to attack, and spread the attack to her hair follicles causing hair loss!

We also identified low platelets, intestinal inflammation, as well as liver and gall bladder inflammation. All were likely targets of autoimmune attack.

ROOT CAUSE: Chronic viral infection causing immune imbalance and autoimmune attack to the thyroid, platelets, intestinal lining, liver and gall bladder!

SOLUTION: Step one in Autoimmune disease is to gather control of the immune challenge. Immune challenges could be environmental toxins, chronic infections, stress, or a combination of more than one. In her case, the viral challenge was obvious from her history and labs. By using manual muscle testing, we found that two plant medicines, TULSI and ELDERBERRY, improved the muscle dysfunction associated with the viral induced autoimmune disease.

Tulsi (pictured) is a garden plant from India, with 3000 years of documented use for viral infections, stress syndromes, improving sleep, and even allergies. Doctors in India research and publish to the same database as US doctors (National Library of Medicine). In fact, most research on medicinal plants originates from the east and Europe. In one study, they exposed Wistar rats to a loud noise for 30 minutes (100 decibels, pain begins at 125). They then measured blood cortisol levels, which were “significantly elevated.” Next they fed the rats a diet including tulsi leaves, and repeated the process. Loud noise for 30 minutes that was just short of pain level, and this time their cortisol levels were unchanged! They remained calm in the face of significant stress!

True Shingles Heal is our product featuring Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil. It works for shingles, herpes virus, and any chronic virus. You can get it in our online store. It’s completely void of side effects, so its safe to try. In fact many people report side benefits such as better sleep.

Elevated stress hormones is one possible root cause of hypersensitivity reactions, like allergies and dry eyes. Stress hormone overproduction creates hypersensitivity and irritability to your environment (pollens, dust, molds, etc), chemicals, sugar, and even people.

We tested all the above and found sensitivity reactions to pollen, formaldehyde, and people, in the form of critics! Formaldehyde and its cousins are widely used in construction, fabrics, and perfumes. With any new fabric, new buildings, or perfume smell, you are breathing formaldehydes.

From the MN Department of Health website: Formaldehyde is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC). VOC’s are chemicals that become a gas at room temperature. As a result, products made with formaldehyde will release the gas into the air. This is called off-gassing. The health effects of formaldehyde exposure vary from one person to another. The most common symptoms are eye, nose and throat irritation, coughing, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Human eyes are especially sensitive to formaldehyde. Many people describe the eye irritation as a burning sensation much like when cutting an onion or when you get soap in your eyes. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified formaldehyde as “carcinogenic to humans”. This is based on nose and throat cancers in working populations with high exposure.

You may know Elderberry as the pharmaceutical drug “Tamiflu”. Roche pharmaceutical researchers brought Elderberry into their lab to create a chemical version of this plant. They now sell it as “Tamiflu” for over 100 dollars a capsule. Our 60 serving bottle of True Cold & Flu Relief, which features Elderberry in the God made form, goes for around 30 dollars! Even if it were the other way around, Elderberry being more expensive, I would still go for Nature’s version!

Elderberry is research proven to be 400% more effective than Tamiflu.

You might also have heard of Elderberry on the TV show, The Walking Dead. The characters were safe and secure in a prison, but a deadly virus hits the group. If you watch the Walking Dead you know the deal. When they die, they turn into zombies, so their safe “sanctuary” was being invaded from the inside. One of the main characters contracted the virus. The farmer remembered his Grandma giving them Elderberry syrup for the flu when he was a kid. They harvested wild growing Elderberry and saved the day!

RESULTS: On a recent visit, she was excited, “what did Dr. Stone do differently?” 30 years of migraines, a combined 8 years of her life in bed, in pain, nauseous and puking. ”What did I do?” No more hair in her eyes. ”What did I do differently than all those other doctors?” She felt happy and energized instead of depressed. And no migraines for many weeks!

I explained root cause again. A chronic virus stressed out her body and caused immune imbalance and autoimmunity. I explained that she was “sick” all those years. Infected and exhausted by a chronic virus.

Her lab recheck showed that the fight isn’t over, but she is winning for the first time in 30 years. We all have bad days, even a bad year. But she knows what good feels like. Now she is enjoying a healing trend towards strength and resilience, where even the bad days are tolerable.

She has also experienced how stress and upset affects ALL of her symptoms. But now she has a plant, similar to a leaf of kale, with medicinal qualities that restore her stress hormones to calm! So bring it on! She has a medicine for bad days!

Are you gathering the amazing potential of plant medicines? Every natural medicine I use has a rich history, scientific validation, and AMAZING healing qualities. They meet body needs to heal and offer strength and resilience. Pharmaceutical medicines offer suppression of symptoms, slowing disease progression, and side effects.

How in the world did we ever come to believe that pharmaceuticals are better than Mother Nature? Could it be the influence of billion dollar corporations?

True Health and Mother Nature now offer care without expectation. We’ve been pushed out of way by profit, and our fighting back is a True Health Membership. It’s 27 dollars a month.

Case Study – Ulcerative Colitis

February 7, 2018/0 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

Ulcerative Colitis is an incurable disease.

Imagine this. One day you are a healthy 20 year old, chasing dreams in college. The next day you are an Ulcerative Colitis patient, planning your colonoscopies for life, hoping your disease doesn’t kill you, and your dream becomes survival.

According to Colby, everything was great until one day, suddenly, he felt severe abdominal pain.

Almost more pain than he could take, and when he makes it to the bathroom. Liquid, including plenty of blood. He went to urgent care, and they say, “uh-oh…let’s take a look!” (CT Scan). They say it “looks” fine, take these steroid pills for 7 days.

He follows up with the GI specialist about a month later. The prednisone has helped control pain, but they don’t know the cause of it yet. The doctor listens and suggests they look more closely (colonoscopy). It takes another couple months to get the test and to get an appointment with the doctor for the report.

You can’t handle the truth!

“I’m sorry son, you have ulcerative colitis and there is no cure. You will have to be on this medicine for the rest of your life. Without continuous meds, remission is rare. We will have to watch closely, with a colonoscopy every year to see if you disease has progressed. We will likely have to increase your medications or change them to stronger versions to slow the progression of this disease.”

Colby was introduced to his new “life partner,” Lialda. Actually, the generic version Mesalamine, aka. 5-amino-2hydroxybenzoic acid, and was warned about potential side effects such as severe stomach pain, cramping, fever, headache, and bloody diarrhea.

And for the next few months, the partnership was delightful. Back to normal…back to living life and chasing dreams. (With the occasional break to “look closely” at his disease)

Until it came back. He didn’t even make it to the first annual colon looking.

Whatever was at the root of this incurable disease, was not willing to give up so easily! GI specialists are very busy, so it took a month or so to finally get in to see his doctor

“This is normal with your disease. Let’s run a few tests, and try this new medication.”

And then, “Colby, your tests were fine, except for your having that incurable disease. But I promise, that we are doing our best Re-Search to Find a Cure.”

Hmmm…Maybe we need some “New-Search.”

The doctor explains further, that they might have to add this, maybe that or try another one next. This, that and another is the plan.

“That” or medication number two is called mercaptopurine, a chemotherapy drug. When I look that up on RxList.com, the top of the page says, “Caution, mercaptopurine is a potent drug. It should not be used unless a diagnosis of acute lymphatic leukemia has been adequately established and the responsible physician is experienced with the risks of PURINETHOL and knowledgeable in assessing response to chemotherapy.” Just reporting.

I remember getting the flu about 15 years ago. Everything purging from my body. Every inch of my body was in pain, including my hair. Literally, my hair hurt.

That was the result of the new medication!! Flu symptoms and purging. He felt like he was dying.

And technically he was. The drug is extremely toxic to the immune system, liver, bone marrow, and GI tract.

I cannot speak for the doctors choice, but to someone not trained in medicine, “that” doesn’t seem like a good choice. It definitely did not FEEL like a good choice, to Colby.

Back to prednisone, which has always “helped” but is just too dangerous (high rates of not-surviving), to take on an ongoing basis.

And then “another one,” the Medicine his doctor chose as the next best step, brand-name Lialda. Its in your head the exact same chemical structure as the first one that failed, but in our culture, brand names DO work, look, and taste better!

This time it didn’t even give temporary relief.

Now, after 3 strikes, his faith in his doctor is gone. He was realizing that his doctors are not sure, they have no scientific certainty at all.

The first step towards healing.

Colby wonders, “what am I going to do?”And counter to his every (learned) intuition…he listens to his mother. (This is a good rule of thumb, by the way!)

Acupuncture Mom had already been disappointed by medicine and pharmaceuticals, so she goes to a doctor that wears a super-hero shirt to work. He was told he was not a real doctor, so he’s rolling with it.

Mom’s doctor helps the people and problems that seem to fall through the cracks of medicine. But not incurable diseases, more like symptoms without a name and problems without a solution.

Feeling pretty dang defeated at this point he was ready to try anything!

I love that people consider me (mostly) at the brink of desperation. I take it as a huge energetic compliment. I’m that guy that people call when there is a mess, “the cleaner.” I’m doing my best to make it easy to find True Health with a program called The Metabolic Tune-Up.

During his initial exam, we use muscle testing, or applied kinesiology to “read” his body stress. At one point we use vials containing homeopathic levels (completely safe) of bacteria, viruses, and other infective organisms, to find what weakens his body. And out of about 700 vials of known infective microorganisms, the vial for C.Diff caused him to test weak.

C.Diff is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that is a known cause of colitis, which literally means, “colon on fire.”

But, we don’t diagnose by muscle testing, we respond to needs. On one hand, who cares what the diagnosis is. This vial makes you weak, and this plant medicine makes you strong. If I had to choose one diagnostic resource in my healing practice, I’d choose muscle testing.

The plant medicines that strengthened his body were Golden Thread and Cayenne Pepper.

In 2015, a real doctor by the name of Zhi Lv published a study in the National Library of Medicine journal, “Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.” They were attempting to address a problem with high relapse rates when treating C.Diff colitis with vancomycin. So they added Golden Thread.

RESULT of the Study: Adding Golden Thread resulted in “significant improvement in probiotic colonization (good bacteria), disease activity and histopathology (evidence of healing), and mortality rate (dying, there was significantly less dying).

Cayenne is already scientifically “accepted” as a resource used to draw healing energy to damaged tissues. We rub it on our shoulders after playing tennis.

There is scientific validation of most plant medicines, you just have to be willing to look. In most other countries, doctors use plants and pharmaceuticals, side by side, trying to discover the best medicine!

Golden Thread and Cayenne.

At the very least, we have something that strengthens his body, and will do no harm.

And thankfully, I don’t have to choose one diagnostic resource, so just like other doctors, I gave him his medicine and ordered a “few tests.”

He was back in one week, to see what his “tests” revealed. I tell Colby, “you are NOT fine, multiple tests reveal problems.”

Including, a clinical level SED rate, which means he is infected. His white blood cells are clinically elevated, with high neutrophils. (A type of white blood cell) This finding is suggestive of bacterial infection. His inflammation marker is 37 times higher than the healthy range!

struggle with depression Clinical level means the lab flags it on the lab report as “disease range.” So if his previous doctors would have ordered these tests, they would not have been able to say, “your tests are fine.”

But I’m not breaking BAD NEWS to Colby! I report that we can help everything we found. I can’t make any promises about your disease, being incurable and all, but these things, that we found wrong with you, we can help.

“In fact, what we gave you is an excellent remedy for this problem. How did you feel taking it?”

“I haven’t started yet.”

“No problem, can you start today?” “Sure!” He was beginning to see that I make sense. “Plus, being such a serious disease, let’s do a full stool analysis, to identify what exactly we are up against.”

We walk out to our reception area, and I tell Laura that we need a poop test. She says, “real professional.”

While waiting for the identification of the bacterial invader, he starts his plant medicines, which are antibacterial in nature. By the time we get the results back, he is feeling so much improvement he has stopped his medications. The lab identified: C.Diff.

Exactly what his body told us the first time we met. No lab tests. No neutrophils counted, no SED rates measured, or stool analyzed. From over 700 vials, muscle testing gets the exact correct vial.

We also learned that his gut inflammation markers were “off the charts.” For example, they list a lab value they call Lactoferrin. The description says, “this is an identifier of Autoimmune inflammatory disease in the gut, and if high, the condition is life threatening and will require lifelong treatment.” They are real doctors at this lab. Colby needed an unreal doctor.

The normal range is 0-7.3. His measures one thousand and ten! (1,010). That’s 138 times the highest level of normal.

We add frankincense, the pain and inflammation remedy that was as “good as gold” back in the days of Jesus.

Next visit, his disease is back. Not quite as painful, but to the point of bleeding again. Unlike his first relapse, he noticed it was when he ran out of his plant medicine. Colby was convinced, Mother Nature is the source of healing. He could feel it.

We refilled his “prescription,” and next visit the pain and blood are improving again.

I call that a healing trend.

True Health is never found with symptom suppression. A healing trend moves you toward stability, and in the end, you don’t need anything but food, water, oxygen, and movement to survive. When survival is secure, to thrive and grow you get back to those dreams.

We trended positively for 12 weeks, and retested his labs to see how “what we CAN change,” is changing. He is very near symptom free, and off all pharmaceuticals.

Then another one of those “Doctor telling you what is wrong” visits, and Dr. Stone (not a real doctor) reports, “Colby, you are fine.” Only this time it matches how he feels.

Your inflammation marker is now 0.8 (which is optimal vs 37 TIMES the healthy level), his SED rate is optimal, indicating no more infection. And his neutrophils are optimal, indicating no more C.Diff!

And in Colby’s case, we didn’t use vancomycin, just Golden Thread, and a couple other resources, Cayenne and Frankincense, and those resources led to something that eludes real doctors, complete remission or resolution of the inflammation.

Remember the study? The doctors were still on the “stop dying step,” and Golden Thread vastly improved that step. Apparently, if you add cayenne and frankincense to Golden Thread, instead of vancomycin, you get to the “healing” step and beyond.

We fixed what we could fix, and if I am completely honest, I do not believe he is in “remission.” He is actually cured. I know I’m not supposed to say that. But if I am arrested, I think his mom would bail me out.

And technically, I would more literally say “he is healed.” I just gave God’s medicine, which healed a problem (infection and inflammation), that was preventing God’s gift, aka Colby, from healing. It’s the healing process we all had Faith in, when we were little.

Remember that, when you felt sick and you rested. You cut your finger and you cared for it. And you healed. God also gifted us the medicine for every healing problem in the roots and leaves, of Nature.

My last bit of advice to him was “bury this.” “Keep going until you feel so strong and resilient, that this is a distant memory. And bring forward the value of this experience.” Don’t go all the way back to the habits and rituals that led you here. He is nourishing himself better, eating his veggies and better quality protein, and he is gaining trust in healing, nature, and his own body.

Make that list your ongoing ritual.

I appreciate this story for so many reasons, but particularly because it is SHORT. No, it didn’t seem short to Colby, or even perhaps to the reader, but to Dr. Stone. I read stories of 20, 30 40, and 50 years suffering. And when I read them, I hurt. We got this one resolved in just over a year. Only 3 months of True Health, and nine months learning that suppressing symptoms with drugs wasn’t the right path.

It would have caused me such pain to if it took him 10 years or more to make the realization that medicine doesn’t seem to understand healing. Can you imagine the pain of that story. Well, I guess we don’t have to imagine. The doctor who named Colby’s pain described the story.

“You have no hope. We will try this, that, and another, but your disease is progressive, so it will get worse over time. We’ll use stronger drugs with worse side effects. And we’ll stick a camera up your butt once a year, to watch our inability to heal progress.”

If you need some hope, True Health now offers The Metabolic Tune-Up. We can run your labs anywhere in the US (Except NY, RI, NJ), I’ll prescribe your meds, exactly what you need to heal and get stronger, and you follow along with a daily email introducing you to acupressure and five elements. You do your best taking charge of your health, and if you ever get stuck, I’ll help you over the hump!

Or if you just need some symptom relief, like PMS or Allergies, you can purchase directly from our online store.

I actually searched to see if I could find hurt or death from the medicines we use. I found a story of a man consuming a large amount of Yellow Jasmine and being paralyzed for several hours. He was fine though, and Yellow Jasmine is an excellent muscle relaxer, at reasonable doses.

I couldn’t find one account of reasonably taking plant medicines resulting in hurt or death. Their only hurt is the taste. They are very bitter, but this little girl, whose been on them since her terminal illness when she was a baby, doesn’t mind them a bit.

It’s ok. You can read her story. Mothers medicine healed her too.

Colby was kind enough to share his perspective.

Terminal Illness, Adrenal Insufficiency, healed by Mother Nature

February 2, 2018/0 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

What do you do when you have no hope? A terminal illness?

Apparently, turning to True Health is a good choice.

This is a story about a little girl, diagnosed with Pituitary and Adrenal Insufficiency, Optic nerve atrophy (blind), who wasn’t sure if she was going to stay here! Her Doctor said she wouldn’t make it. Dr. Stone said “Pssshaw.” And Momma followed hope. See how it turned out!

This is a story of immense faith in God and Nature.

A baby girl is born “ok,” but crashes just hours after birth. She is not responding to care, and her blood sugar reads 22 (80-120 is optimal)! She spends 7 days in the NICU, finally stabilizing, and released to connect with family in a nurturing environment.

The first moment of her life where survival wasn’t the only thing that mattered.

The family leans in to feeling normal, until, at six months, they noticed something “different” about Tempi. Her eyes would cross and jump around. optic nerve atrophy Of course, they wanted to protect every part of her, so they schedule an appointment with the ophthalmologist, the eye specialist. After her evaluation, the Dr. diagnoses Tempi with optic nerve hypoplasia and nystagmus, which means her visual and motor (eye movement) nerves didn’t develop normally. “She will be blind for life, there is nothing you can do.“

And you need to see a specialist to evaluate if there is a larger neurological problem behind this.

The next specialist, Medical Endocrinologist, examined Tempi and ran some tests. She left a message on Momma’s voicemail, that her baby’s thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands are not functioning well. “She has adrenal insufficiency and hypopituitarism, which means her entire endocrine system failed to develop.“

**Medical Prognosis: “Your baby is blind. She will die if you don’t get her on prednisone and Synthroid! Immediately. That is the only option.”**

To which Mom said, “we’re going to get another opinion.“

Mom was a patient of True Health, because during her pregnancy, she caught a cold and couldn’t shake it. She followed her doctors recommendations, but after 3 months, she still felt miserable. She was spiking fevers up to 105, which caused great concern for her baby, because she knew that 107 leaves the baby brain dead, and her doctors had nothing left to offer her.

This is where people call True Health. The point of hopeless desperation. Some say it’s the only point you can take my bedside manner (lol), and others find me rather funny. But I’m pretty serious about healing, so I ran a battery of tests that don’t follow insurance guidelines, aka ‘I didn’t follow the rules.’

We discovered autoimmune thyroid disease, with a chronic bacterial infection as the root cause.

And her baby is living inside this distressed mom, distressed immune system and thyroid.

Mom recovered under our care, but the toll of months of ineffective care was massive stress to the baby.

Mom has an appointment at True Health, and while Dr. Stone treats her, Mom shares Tempi’s story.

Dr. Stone has a “different” perspective on healing and vastly different resources. If Medicine’s resources are drugs and surgery, his are plants and hands.

Dr. Stone shared the concept of Functional Neurology.

The concept is, if a nerve is sick or damaged, it strengthens and grows by a unique nutrient called stimulation. Stimulation is motor, or movement, and sensory, our five senses.

It is an undeniable clinical observation. Whatever you stimulate grows, if there is any life left to respond and grow. I didn’t know if there was, but I said that if she were my baby, I would give it a shot.

The University of Alabama medical school is actively applying this concept, and they have discovered that sometimes the brain will create completely new pathways to perform the function you wish for. If you offer faith and stimulation, your brain will find a way, even if the nerve cells are dead, like what a stroke does to the brain.

The University of Alabama in Birmingham is doing groundbreaking work on this concept. Instead of giving stroke patients a cane or wheel chair, they ask them to do exactly what they can’t do.

If the left arm and hand are paralyzed, they stimulate the fingers on that hand with sensory stimulation. Tickle, massage, vibration, heat, cold, pinprick. I prefer access to all of my senses and even though pain is not my favorite, it has been helpful!

And whatever movement they have left, they keep stretching it’s boundaries, asking over and over, to move just a bit farther. They have found that they can bring back full function in some cases, by just increasing the stimulation incrementally.

One patient of UAB shared her experience after a session, “My son picked me up from PT, and he had horrible music playing, so I reached to change the channel, and as I sat back in the comfort of better music, I realized I changed the station with my paralyzed arm!”

With Tempi, we had no idea if the motor and sensory “eye-ball nerves” would respond in the same fashion, but why not try!?

Dr. Stone also shared that he thought they could help her body produce growth hormone and, really, any other hormone she needed, with plant medicines. He shared a story of a woman who had 2 miscarriages, and they were able to raise her progesterone 106 points with these plants. She conceived again (and again), and has now birthed 2 healthy babies.

So in faith and hope, she opted to try Nature.

Mom had faith in True Health and Mother Nature because of her first hand experience of her own healing, when Medical Doctors couldn’t help her. And the medical prognosis for her baby, was pretty dreary.

Then, the test of faith.

The Endocrinologist denies calling the authorities to report child endangerment, but Child Protective Services calls their home. Momma is doing her absolute best in making choices for her baby. She chose hope over disability, and this was her first result.

“Ma’am, we have been informed you are endangering your child by not following your doctor’s orders. We have to investigate.”

Medicine and our Government were insisting that she choose the medical prognosis.

They search the house for any signs of negligence, abuse, or crack/meth pipes, which is hilarious, as this Momma has never even smoked a cigarette. She is a devoted Momma and in a moment of indulgence might have a glass of wine.

“Hmmm…other than your house being overly clean and organized, we can’t find any evidence you hurt yourself or others.”

But this is no joke! She was scared to death that they were going to take her baby away for not following the “dreary path.” Dr. Dreary convinced authorities that Tempi would be dead in 6 weeks without their life-saving-care.

There’s a saying, “don’t fight city hall.” It suggests that when you butt heads with ‘the system’ you are unlikely to win. So she didn’t fight. She complied with every step of the investigation, and after investigating, they were not sure. City hall decided they need a third opinion.

“Pick any medical endocrinologist” in the state, and get a third opinion. Medicine runs by a play book, so everyone in medicine would likely say the same thing! Is that fair? Tempi’s mom and dad researched, and found Dr. P, who they heard was more conservative in his approach, and even a bit naturally minded.

To keep their baby, Mom and Dad signed an agreement that they would follow Dr. Ps advice. They drove 2 hours with a baby who is supposedly near death, to sit with the person from the only branch of healing offered in their “contract,” who they hand picked as most likely to see their perspective.

But once a person decides what is “right,” they delete all other possibilities. That’s a Natural Law, and Medicine has decided, “WE are right.” And “right” has a protocol and “insurance guideline.” The pressure is applied from these fellows.

If you don’t follow their guidelines, they will cut off your income.

At the appointment, momma is choking back tears, because her freedom of choice is dependent on a doctor that has not witnessed the growth of her baby.

When she heard him cite insurance guidelines, agreeing 100% with Dr. #1, a mix of anger and hurt overwhelmed her. As she cried, Dr. P described pituitary physiology from a medical perspective to soothe her. He believes he has finally reached her sensibility when she stops crying.

But he was wrong. She didn’t accept his perspective, she swallowed all her hurt, and turned it into anger and fight. Calculating their escape, because they were told they couldn’t leave until they agreed to his recommendations, they nodded in agreement. That is all you can do when faced with unreasonable. Their agreement offered their freedom, for now.

On the way to the car, Dad reassures his wife, “There’s no way I am giving her that MTHRFing medication!”

Now, they are ready to fight. City hall. Holy crap!

The next day, Momma Bear takes the field on offense. She calls Dr. P, and says,

“Now you listen to me, I am not doing anything-you-said, and here’s what I want. Retest the labs you used to diagnose her Adrenal Insufficiency and HypoPituitarism.“

Government procedure takes time, so while they investigated and agreed on the “third opinion” path, we were giving this amazingly responsive Momma stimulation exercises for her baby’s brain and visual centers.

We fed her an amazing God offered mushroom called Cordyceps, that grows in the Himalayan mountains and has published medical research studies indicating an ability to increase pituitary and adrenal hormone production.

What?? The hormones they wanted to give her can be naturally increased by a nourishing mushroom? Dr. P used Christianity as part of his “convincing” monologue, suggesting “God sent him here to help people like Tempi,” while Mom’s distraught turned into fight.

I’ve spoken directly to God, since we work together and all, and He wonders why Dr. P thinks his medicine is better than capital H-i-s!?

Not all doctors have read this research though, in fact theres a prevailing opinion, that God did a horrible job of providing Medicine. Because of that prevailing opinion, people who truly wish they could heal Tempi, never look in the direction of Mother Nature. So from the perspective of ignorance, Dr. P was sure that the best way, the only way, is Prednisone.

Dr. Stone believes that both of Tempi’s real doctors have this wish, and Dr. Stone would like them to know that healing is not found in the prevailing opinion.

We prescribed another plant called Ashwagandha. This plant has research documentation to prove that it increases thyroid hormone production, and has been passed along for 3000 years, from healer to healer, to help people who need deeper rest and healing, and more life when the sun shines.

Adrenal fatigue

While going through the fight of her life, although she was oblivious to it, our sweet zombie toddler begins to see!!

Mom: “I first realized she could see when I walked into the kitchen and turned the light on. Her head immediately went back and she looked up at it’s brightness.” Then her blind baby reached for a bottle on the counter. “How did you know that was there, being blind and all?”

Tempi points at the moon, and reaches down to touch a shadow, because “the ground looks different.”

No time to celebrate, however, as they have to face “breaking their contract.” Momma Bear says the contract was made under pressure. She declares her plan,

“I want the lab tests. I see my baby and she is healing, and you will NOT take that away from me!“

When faced with Momma Bear anger, Dr. P finds reasonableness. He agrees to let them follow their heart, as long as they bring Tempi back regularly. And carry a prednisone injector for when they find her unresponsive. See, he does care. From his perspective, the injector would save the baby from what was certainly going to happen, and then, Mom will see that he was right.

Her meetings with Dr. P defy reality. One time he even said “wow”when examining Tempi. But then he would look at the lab results, and be reminded that insurance protocol says there is no hope, and he would hold firm to his recommendations.

Mom held firm to her direction, and the agreement to carry his prednisone pen around.

They would meet again in 3 months. Dr. P hoping they would soon see he was right. Momma hoping that her baby is going to be a star someday.

Tempi recently had her 4th birthday. I hate math, but I’m pretty sure that is beyond medical prognosis. We are working on eye coordination now, with things like eye movement exercises, barrel rolls and somersaults. Now she’s a big sister, and little brother has no idea how disabled his big sister is, or was. He’s never witnessed disability. He see’s growing ability, just like him.

And still, she has a mandated endocrinology visit on her schedule. Dr. P is still sure that “this is going to go badly.”

I recall attempting “certainty.” It’s what they taught in school, so how would I know better. Dr. Ps medical prognosis is the result of already knowing, and our actual result is from having faith and being open to any possibility. We were prepared for blind, just as much as seeing, probably more. We learned to have faith in God and Nature, by leaning in and watching for results.

When Momma and Tempi aren’t wasting time with Government mandated medical visits, they live life fully. And occasionally visit True Health to continue meeting Tempi’s needs for thriving, which seems to allow her to do everything her medical prognosis said she couldn’t do.

On her most recent visit to Dr. P, he sat back in awe of Tempi’s abilities. “Wow, this is incredible.”

Since his eyes were deceiving his certainty, he dug into her chart to find a problem. He digs up that “she is too short,” to validate his certainty. “Uh-oh, Nature isn’t working. She is too short. Look at this chart, she’s way down here.”

Dr. P, look at Tempi. Open your eyes.

Imagine Tempi’s life, if she had followed “your perspective.” She would be blind. That’s manageable. Ray Charles did blind quite well. But I wonder, if he had a choice, if he would have opted for vision.

Tempi would be fat and bloated, the side effect of prednisone. Look at her. She is healthy and cute as a button.

Prednisone is immune suppressive, and can cause dizziness, acne, insomnia, mood swings, and slow wound healing. It is known to be one of the harshest medicines, in medicine. It has dosing regulations in your “playbook,” because if you give too much, you hurt the people you care for. And we pledged as doctors, “first, we would do no harm.”

Real Dr.’s, Nature’s medicine has never harmed anyone. In fact, plants have side BENEFITs, like nutrients, antioxidants, minerals. Patients report benefits that we weren’t even aiming for. (properly used. if you swallow a tree, you will die, I think)

I wonder who would want you to believe, that God’s Medicine is ineffective? Whoever benefits or profits from that belief must be the Devil.

For this beautiful little girl, it turns out she did have a choice. And Momma had to face hell, to choose this path. Doctor’s claim they are in God’s service and want to help, but the only danger to Tempi’s result was two doctors. (Pause for reflection)

Please be kind, we don’t appreciate the criticism of “short.” She had a slow start, because your medicine couldn’t help her Momma for 3 months. Mother Nature helped your failure, and proved your certainty wrong.

I am certain of this, because I have witnessed it with my own two eyes. Tempi is 4, and is the cutest zombie-toddler I have ever seen. Everything, including Life, is progressing, although a little-behind-normal.

I’m willing to wager that she catches up and surpasses normal, because she has a tenacity that only comes from overcoming struggle.

I’m not sure when “they” free you, but it’s clearly not based on results.

We did retest Tempi’s Adrenal Insufficiency labs, and we see progress. Her ‘growth hormone’ measurement was 828, where 1113-3180 is “normal.” This time, it measured 1100. She’s only 13 points from “normal.”

We’re past the debate, the results have spoken. Now we are wondering about the change this gift from God, Tempi, will make on this world.

I’m going to bet, that it will be a movement toward Nature. And I bet, she’ll offer empathy to the blind.

Why Depression Causes Fatigue

January 27, 2018/0 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

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%). Can Fam Physician. 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,

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.
