It all started years ago when I was experiencing some unusual symptoms; I had put on over 20 pounds in almost 30 days, I was sleeping 12-14 hours a night and still waking up tired, deep dark circles under my eyes, my metabolism was shot and I just didn't want to do anything. My spirit was gone and of course like any red blooded American, I went to see the doctor and after a quick blood test, she said "You're just tired and burned out, would you like some sleeping pills and try to take it easy." Yep, that was it "A hundred dollars please, pay on your way out."

Well you may have guessed, I wasn't too satisfied with this particular diagnosis, or lack there of and ventured to look into some different options that I had heard about. I sought out a local doctor that a friend had started seeing who was western trained, but started all of his patients through naturopathic methods. To my dismay, his first diagnosis was burn out as well. It appears that diagnoses are made by comparing symptoms to the most common prognosis and then working from there. Now being an experienced bad patient, I insisted that we pursue this further and the barrage of tests began.

He started with a simple physical examination of eyes, ears, throat, joints, listening to internal organs and pressing on areas of the abdomen. Ok, this is where he got my attention! After pulling me down from the ceiling, he determined that the sensitivity in my abdomen was due to several food allergies (confirmed by later tests) which explained many of my fatigue symptoms. All right, I'm cured!

Well to my dismay, not so fast. Yes, things were better but I was still "suffering" and just wasn't seeing the progress we expected. So we did some more probing. Lo and behold, we found mercury throughout my system. Well where the heck did I get mercury poisoning from? My next step was to the dentist and I had all my amalgam dental filings replaced with composite ones. All right, I'm cured!

Not so fast. My barrage of nutrients now had to increase in order to flush out the mercury that was still caught up in my body. Although this method of Chelation takes longer than western medicine methods, its long term benefits are far better. The concern we had now was, what had the mercury done to my system? Once we had determined that the Chelation was working and the mercury was out of my system, we ran a number of tests to see where I was physically.

Yes, I was feeling better, but I could tell that something was still wrong. A series of MRIs and CT Scans had determined a form of Cirrhosis had damaged my liver and we topped it off with a Genetics test that also confirmed that my liver simply didn't function like most and couldn't take the stress of filtering out most toxins. Thus, it just dumped them back into my body. All right, I'm cured!
