1). How long does it take to get better? Since many of our symptoms are related to intolerant foods and unstable blood sugar, those are the first two things we must handle to feel better. Generally we’ll feel better in a few days without problem foods. Likewise, falling back on starchy foods, alcohol and sweets and eating intolerant foods will cause symptoms to occur within hours or days.

Chronic issues that aren’t handled by a change in diet can take days, weeks, months or years to go away. This is because our bodies are complicated mechanisms with dozens of layers of possible problems.

Some of us have one or two really big layers (such as mercury toxicity and a sugar addiction). Some of us have decades’ old issues with hormones, allergies, abuse, stress, genetic flaws, surgical interventions, medication histories, misdiagnosed infections, toxic fillings and bacteria laden root canals and gums, autoimmune disorders, electromagnetic exposure and DNA damage, pesticide and environmental toxicity, traumas and injuries, osteoporosis, nutritional deficiencies, misalignments in our bite and our bones, and emotional negativity in work and home environments. Oh yes, and a lack of exercise and a weight problem.

Whew!! Few people realize that this IS the list of things we work on every time you come in for an appointment. My job is to prioritize what order we work on things, and try to stick to some kind of budget. Although, most people probably need to be on twice as many supplements than I put them on, as I am actually very conservative with my dosages!

2). How often do you recommend I come in to see you? Ideally, every 3 or 4 weeks until we get to big layers that will take months to clear.

3). Can I ever get off supplements? It depends upon your goals. If you want to really fix things and work towards keeping your brain and body functioning into old age, then the answer is no. If you want to just get through something as fast as possible, then that’s a short term thing.

4). I have seen other doctors for my problems (some of them “holistic”). How come you feel you can help me when they did not? First of all, having had chronic health problems all my life, I personally work with a wide variety of doctors and companies that can help show me the next step in my own healing. I pass that information on to you. Secondly, I have attended many seminars over the years teaching different muscle testing techniques. These techniques help prioritize the THREE BIG THINGS I need to know. WHERE is the problem – WHAT is the problem – What is the BEST solution to the problem?

Additionally, most practitioners and doctors fail to take into account the effects of that big list in Item 1). Undetected yeast, parasites, hormone deficiencies, allergies and toxicity must be fixed for the body to be able to regulate itself with the wisdom it already has. Ultimately, we don’t fix anything! We just work to get the toxins and deficiencies out of the way so the body can do the job.

5). Why do I avoid my supplements the day I come for an appointment? If you took your supplements, your body might not test that you “needed” them any more, as in fact it wouldn’t at that time. It’s also harder to try to get the right dose if a product is already in your system.

6). What is the best product to have on hand (or when we travel) in case someone in the family starts to get sick? I would recommend our stunningly effective Morinda Supreme. Morinda is a natural fruit that works well on most bacteria, viruses, yeasts and parasites. Take 2 caps three times daily at first symptom and it may fix you in a few hours.
