Dear Colleagues:
I hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I would also like to thank all of you for the wonderful work you all do as physicians helping thousands of people with various ailments that do not respond to conventional care. Last month I mentioned a friend of mine and my son Noah’s, who is a AAA baseball player, who hopes to be the leadoff man on a major league team next year. He knows a little of what I do but has never been a patient. We were down at the Arizona Fall League where all the top prospects play for 6 weeks and are watched by leading scouts. Half way through the season he was batting only .250, which wasn’t increasing his chances of making it to the majors next year. When we returned home, I decided to send him bottles of Mediclear, Basic Nutrients III, L-Carnitine (all by Thorne Research 1-800-228-1966) and some EFA’s. He immediately started to take them all and batted about .390 the 2nd half of the season and ended up batting a very respectable .320. I haven’t had much of a chance to talk to him so I don’t know if he attributes his better performance to the supplements, but I am convinced they played a big role in his improved statistics and performance. He said he wants to stay on them so it will be interesting how he does next year.
One of our National Hockey League player patients, who is playing in Russia this year due to the strike here flew in during a break in mid season for treatment for him and his wife. We corrected all his structural imbalances (as best we could in the one day he had here) and loaded him with supplements to bring home to Russia. He said that before games there the trainer injects all the team (except him as he refuses) with some “mystery shot” that is not available here in the US. Most of the professional athletes I treat (as well as the high school and college athletes) show a positive ligament stretch-adrenal test and giving them something like Thorne’s Cortrex can help prevent injuries as well as build up stamina and endurance during the long season. The hardest thing I find with the athletes is getting them to be treated regularly and refill their supplements as they always seem to be sidetracked and come in more for emergency care. We are making some progress in instilling in them the benefit of regular preventative maintenance checks, so to speak.
NEW BOOK
There is a new book on the market but out by The Johns Hopkins University Press called The Mold Survival Guide For Your Home and For Your Health. It is a nice reference book on checking your home for mold related problems. It does not get into too many of the health issues
as much as it gets into fixing the problem in your house. Other than the fact that he is not very pro ozonation as a possible remedy (I find it can be highly effective if used correctly and not while you are in the house), it is an good informative book for you to own and occasionally lend to patients who have this problem. The authors are Jeffrey C. May and Connie L. May.
CASE HISTORY
The Taylor family came to see me in October. In 1998 they moved into a house, unaware that it was heavily infested with “rhizo mucor”, a toxic fungus. Over the next year Tom age 41 now and his wife Sharon now 32 developed severe joint pains, brain fog and fatigue. Tom also developed dermatitis, chronic headaches, weak knees, and had gained 30 pounds for no apparent reason. He became too disabled to work. Sharon developed “lung problems”, chronic flu like symptoms, diarrhea and chronic severe headaches. The doctors were unable to diagnose them and put them both on prednisone.
Mason their son, now ten, had been suffering since then with frequent spontaneous nose bleeds as had become highly irritable and emotional. Kelly now 8 became a bed wetter and suffered from a very poor memory (for instance even forgetting how to buckle a seatbelt). Noah now 4 was born in that house and threw frequent tantrums and had chronic constipation.
In 2002 they moved out of the house after the mold problem was discovered and had minor improvement, but with the organisms still living inside them it wasn’t nearly enough. They heard about us this fall and booked an appointment for the whole family. We found fungal problems in all 5 but fortunately no other forms of dysbiosis. Each had 2 or 3 food sensitivities except Noah who had six. They all tested for SF722 and Basic Nutrients I and Sharon also needed Thiocid (all by Thorne).
We rechecked them one month later. Tom and Sharon no longer had joint pain and within 3 days of starting the program Tom could raise his arm over his head (this is with no structural treatment). He hadn’t been able to perform that motion for over 5 years. He was headache free, 75% memory improvement, dermatitis free and looking for work. Sharon was asymptomatic now. The childrens emotional outbursts had ceased and their memories had improved tremendously. Noah was no longer constipated. Mason no longer had any nosebleeds. Kelly no longer had any bedwetting.
Tom is writing a book on his families “adventure” and plans to put a chapter or two in on our treatment protocols.
Because they were only suffering from fungal dysbiosis, were no longer living in a moldy house and were compliant patients, they all responded quickly. It was an extremely satisfying case. I only wish I had seen them four years earlier to decrease the time they suffered. I also feel they all had strong constitutions or our findings would have been much more extensive.
