Immune for life\dancing the deadly disease dance: one patient’s story IMMUNE FOR LIFE\DANCING THE DEADLY DISEASE DANCE: ONE PATIENT’S STORY
I treated a patient, a 4 5-year-old accountant, who had gone to his physician for a routine physical. Finding that his blood pressure was a little high, the doctor put him on a diuretic called hydrochlorothiazide. This is a medication designed to lower blood pressure by getting rid of excess sodium and water in the body. Unfortunately, the medicine also flushed potassium out of the man's body, so his doctor had to give him a second medication to bring the potassium level back up. Oh yes: the diuretic also caused his cholesterol level to rise.
Meanwhile, because the man didn't change his life-style in any way, the original diuretic soon failed, and his blood pressure went back up. Now his doctor had him take a beta-blocking agent as well. This controlled his blood pressure but caused him to develop fatigue, weakness, depression, episodes of vertigo and an inability to perform sexually. These new problems occurred so insidiously that he didn't connect the symptoms with the medication.
When he went back to see his doctor, lab studies showed that the uric acid in his blood was high. The doctor didn't realize that this was also due to the diuretic. Soon, the man was back in his doctor's office with clinical gout and severe pain and swelling of his large right toe. So he was given a new medication, this one to handle the gout. The diuretic also raised his blood sugar, so he was given yet another drug to lower the blood sugar.
By now a year had passed. He still had the high blood pressure, plus gout with gouty arthritis, low potassium, high cholesterol and diabetes. On top of that he was weak, tired, depressed and impotent.
I realized that the medications were as dangerous as the original problem. By carefully discontinuing all the medications and having him adopt the program described in this book, I eventually resolved the man's medical disorders.
Sometimes it's easy to treat patients who come to see me with a strange collection of symptoms. Taking them off their many medications clears up the problems. But sometimes it's not so easy. A study conducted for the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology indicated that the deaths of 6 to 12 thousand people a year can be blamed on reactions to drugs prescribed by their physicians.
Don't look to doctors, drugs and surgeries for your health and happiness. We physicians can help you battle certain diseases. But health is more, much more, than the absence of disease. The glowing, vibrant health you want depends on you making your "doctor within" as strong as possible. That's where the Immune For Life program can help you.
