Full Transcript Patient Case: Lyme, Brain Injury, and Recovery Hope 0:00 Okay, tell me about this. 0:01 Yesterday you had a patient what? 0:03 Yeah, so yesterday I had patient. 0:05 He's 36 years old. 0:10 when he was about 25. Prior to that, he's in a coma, right? 0:16 At the time of the accident. 0:19 And he had all these underlying things they think. 0:22 He had a comma, did some rehabilitation, started to come out of it. 0:28 What happened was he flirted with the girls in the grocery store, things like that after his accident, Well, he did laser therapy on his brain to try to 0:39 help with the concussion, and it tanked him. 0:42 So now he's non-verbal, nonfunctioning, can't talk, incontinent, all these things. 0:50 But there's, in my opinion, underlying potential Lyme disease at play, because he had a lot of Lyne symptoms. 1:01 Lime goes for the brain, lime goes or the joint tissues, things like that. 1:05 And so it gives me hope that this could be reversed eventually. 1:10 Yeah, that's a good insight. 1:12 So long term lime is crazy. 1:14 Even for myself in my case, I can remember as a kid, six, seven years old, going to the nurse's office. 1:21 And my whole foot would swell up. 1:22 So it's not even just ticks. 1:24 It's mosquito bites too. 1:26 Some mosquitoes, sexual transmission, they're now finding out they could be ticks, it could fleas, things like that. 1:33 Anything that's going to carry that bacteria. 1:36 You know, so as a kid, I'm in the nurse's office. 1:38 I can't get my shoes on. 1:40 This had been going on for a long time. 1:41 And for me, mold was a huge thing, too. 1:45 So that reactivation. 1:47 Mold is the great reacti-vator. 1:49 Reactivating lime. 1:50 You know, even I think for that kid, the stress of laser react-ivated lime bacteria for him. 2:00 Yeah, that's interesting. 2:01 We'll see what happens, but I'm really hopeful. 2:04 Good. 2:05 Tell me how you got into acupuncture and nutrition. 2:10 Yeah, so I was 17. I lived in Hamilton, Montana. 2:15 There's nothing there but cows. 2:18 We have a bowling alley, we have restaurant, and we had an acupuncturist. 2:22 And so, I had all these debilitating symptoms as far as growing pains as a kid, really bad periods.
Personal Lyme and Mold History 2:30 So endometriosis, off the charts, passing out, throwing up. 2:36 atrocious, right? 2:38 Heavy bleeding, all the things. 2:40 And so I went to the acupuncturist and I'd been dealing with this probably three, four years. 2:46 Nobody could figure it out. 2:48 Within two weeks, he had me. 2:51 completely different person, no pain, symptoms managed, etc. 2:57 And I started to go, you know, at the time I was like, I'm going to be a doctor, and I am going pursue that. 3:04 Then after that experience, there's something to herbal medicine. 3:08 It's been around for 5,000 years. 3:11 These people know what they're doing. 3:12 So, I changed trajectories. 3:16 I was going to be a doctor. 3:17 It was pre-med and I went to Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colorado. 3:24 And that's where I began my pursuit of herbal medicine and nutrition. 3:32 OK, so you got your doctorate in what's your degree? 3:39 Yeah, so it's a Masters of Science of Oriental Medicine. 3:43 Undergrad was pre-med and psychology minor. 3:46 Okay, to Masters. 3:47 And then in acupuncture school, that's when you learned Herbology and Nutrition, or is that outside of that? 3:53 Yeah, so the herbal medicine, the program is four years long. 3:58 Typically, a master's program was going to be two years. 4:00 So the Herbal Medicine degree was four-years long, you're in clinic the first year, and you are starting to learn all the herbs. 4:08 Everything that we learned was in Chinese. 4:10 It was the pinion, herbs were in the Chinese, our instructors were primarily Chinese and then your clinicals were with your Chinese person helping you
How Acupuncture Changed Her Career Path 4:25 with all the needling too. 4:26 So a lot of the ancient principles, we were actually learning that right alongside our clinician, which was very intriguing. 4:35 A lot the things that they did in China, you'd get this insight to them and their experiences from seven generation Chinese master acupuncturists in clinic, 4:49 is amazing. 4:50 And it was really insightful. 4:53 Yeah, so a lot of the herbs, a lots of that combinations of acupuncture, needling, we would learn that firsthand, our first year. 5:01 Wow, interesting. 5:03 I've been jumping into a light of PubMed using AI. 5:08 It's pretty deficient in what you and I know. 5:12 you know, the various diets that we use. 5:14 I think I use like eight different diets, but PubMed just keeps pushing the Mediterranean diet. 5:19 And there's not much, when you look at like the supplements and body therapies and the types of body work and acupuncture. 5:29 But I just had a patient yesterday who has alpha-gal syndrome, which is a Lyme organism that prevents people from eating meat. 5:37 So he can eat beef and pork. 5:41 And so he was told by a friend that there's this acupuncturist in, I think, Virginia. 5:49 Solomon is his name. 5:51 And he has this technique. 5:54 It's a needle right there in the left ear, think it's the Left Ear. 5:59 and it works. 6:00 it gets rid of alpha-gal syndrome. 6:02 Yeah. 6:03 Then it was studied and published by the NIH. 6:06 and has a 96% recovery rate. 6:08 Out of like 140 people, 96 percent recovered from alpha-gal by using one acupuncture point with one needle in the ear. 6:19 Yeah. 6:20 Sometimes they'll perform entire surgeries to without anesthesia with just one acupuncture needle. 6:28 If the person knows what they're doing, they go in, we'll put one needle in the body. 6:32 The person doesn't need anesthesiologist and they will do the dental procedure or the whatever in China.
Clinical Training in Chinese Medicine and Herbs 6:40 So I've seen that too. 6:40 My best clinical story that I have with my Chinese practitioner, he was amazing, but seventh generation acupuncturist. 6:52 We had a gal in clinic who continually was getting hit in the head, you know, multiple car accidents, soccer balls, things like that. 7:02 And we're in clinic treating other patients, and she was one of the students. 7:05 And so she's sitting there, she can't recall the word to say to him. 7:11 He goes, one minute. 7:13 If he goes over and he gets about three to four inch long needles, about 10 of them, he starts sinking them into the muscle tissue around her head. 7:23 Then he says, Vanessa, you take out the needles in about 20 minutes. 7:27 I said, okay you know I'm a student all right so we take her into another room and I start to pull these needles that have been in her head out from the 7:38 muscle tissue and it's just dark black stagnant blood that starts to drain from her hair and she's Just sitting there like are you okay and there's this 7:49 black blood dripping from your head no joke I had to get a ton of clean or a tone of towels, paper towels and push it against her head. 7:58 And I've got gloves on. 8:00 I'm trying to put it in trash bags and stuff like that. 8:04 Then he comes in and he goes, great. 8:06 Perfect. 8:07 Blood stagnation. 8:08 in the head. 8:09 So there's stagnant, old dark blood that had been in her tissue that was causing a lot of her issues with speech. 8:19 The next day, she was like a different person. 8:22 And she had had this her whole life.
Acupuncture Success Stories and PubMed Limits 8:24 Oh my god. 8:25 That kind of stuff will never be in PubMed, it's not in pubmed. 8:30 It would be dismissed by conventional doctors, which there's 900,000 of them, and there is never going to be a study published. 8:38 You know what I mean? 8:41 There's so much more data outside of PubMed and the medical journals in the pharmaceutical industry, there's so much more. 8:51 There's got to be like 10 times more data outside of what you see on TV and stuff. 8:58 Absolutely. 8:58 Yeah. 9:00 So I can just remember to, you know, there's a story that he would always tell us and he'd say, OK, There is a guy and has a shoulder injury and is sitting 9:11 in front of a group of Western doctors and one Chinese doctor. 9:14 And the Western Doctors are all sitting there pondering. 9:17 Well, maybe he needs surgery. 9:19 Maybe he need pharmaceuticals. 9:22 He needs physical therapy, blah, and the Chinese Doctor walks over. 9:27 adjust. 9:28 The guy goes, Oh, my shoulders great. 9:30 This feels amazing. 9:32 And the principle there is do just do think you know, there's so much that sometimes you overthink and sometimes we just need to act and do and so that 9:43 was some of the principles to is like, just to just try. 9:47 That's awesome. 9:48 Yeah. 9:49 All right, so cool. 9:50 So typically, we see patients who have chronic symptoms for many, many years. 9:57 And they're sort of global systemic, right? 10:00 Like fatigue and muscle aches and you could say depression, trouble sleeping, GI problems. 10:07 It's really rare that somebody has just one symptom and they come to see us. 10:10 They have many symptoms. 10:12 There have been a ton of already conventional doctors with no good results. 10:17 So how do you approach that kind of a person? 10:19 Yeah, so clinically, especially with traditional Chinese medicine theory, there's going to be a lot of diet, right? 10:29 There's gonna be nutritional aspects. 10:32 Even if you look at the yin and yang, There is excess and there is deficiency. 10:35 So that principle of excess usually fluctuates in chemicals, toxins, mold, parasitic infections. 10:44 And then Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is going to look at deficiency. 10:49 How is the organ functioning at the root? 10:52 Is there deficiencies there? 10:53 A lot of times, excess can cause deficiency and vice versa. 10:58 Deficiency can cost excess. 11:01 So those principles are going be really generic across the board, but as you get into modern day, there's a ton of mold exposure that's everywhere. 11:11 There's lime that is not looked at. 11:14 Parasitic infections, which have been around for thousands of years, even in the clinical textbooks.
Treating Chronic Illness: Detox, Parasites, and Nutrition 11:21 TCM was looking at parasitology too. 11:25 Now, they're a lot stealthier. 11:27 They're munching on black plastic that wasn't here 5,000 years ago. 11:32 So they are stealthy and the organism has gotten out of hand. 11:36 But universally, there is a journey that you have to walk through. 11:41 That's energy optimization, get the organism healthy enough to detox, right? 11:47 And then you move through that excess. 11:50 So clearing the body of parasites, mold, environmental toxins, heavy metals. 11:55 Lime organisms, then you provide the nutrition that keeps that organism at an optimal level. 12:02 So that's things like diet, working on the diet. 12:05 Getting rid of the sugar, getting rid the junk and then providing the organism with things that optimize the liver function, 12:13 the kidney function. 12:14 The spleen function so that you just, it's like a car maintenance. 12:19 Sounds good. 12:21 So with your choice of supplements, what's your favorite categories or what your favourite? 12:28 I don't know how to ask this question. 12:30 Yeah. 12:30 Your favorite supplements. 12:32 Parasite supplements hands down. 12:35 OK, cool. 12:36 Antifungals can be fun too, but parasites. 12:39 I love when, I mean, they don' love, But it's really interesting to see when people start to pass parasites that they didn't over there, 12:45 especially the big guys, the tapeworms. 12:49 Ropeworms, you're seeing liver flukes, tomato skins when you haven't eaten tomatoes, thousands of seeds, which could be tapeworm segments. 12:58 It's really wild and fascinating to see people go, what the heck is coming out of my body? 13:04 So of all the people that you've seen, What percentage have worms? 13:07 Where they actually see worms coming up? 13:10 Gosh, I mean 70% are microscopic, so not a lot of people see them, but for the big guys I would say probably. 13:18 I've had some cases I had like 40% maybe start to pull out some big rope worms. 13:23 Um, had cases where people are pulling them out of their scalp, their nose, they're ears, there mouse. 13:30 weird stuff like that weird cases but primarily for a lot of the population they don't see them which is great because most people would freak out but 13:38 i've had my cases about 30 40 percent where they're passing 14 16 18 inch things from their body yeah so if you see somebody um like you're doing zoom 13:51 calls with them so they are a distance patient um do you have have them do some kind of um Um, acupuncture on themselves in some way, 14:01 stimulating points with their fingers or something. 14:04 Sometimes, not always. 14:06 So sometimes you'll just look at their tongue because that's reflecting what's going on. 14:10 But as far as acupuncture points, you can do some for the body. 14:15 On the belly, really nice acupunture points around the umbilicus. 14:19 It's called the four corners, essentially. 14:22 About two inches above, two inch below, and two on the side. 14:26 You're going to stimulate the stomach, meridian, the kidney, Other places you can do ear seeds. 14:35 So they're really easy on Amazon. 14:37 They're, you know, a couple bucks and they are little seeds where you could get spikes that you put in the ears for high blood pressure,
Favorite Therapies: Parasites, Red Light, and Nervous System Support 14:46 for heart. 14:48 issues for back pain, stuff like that. 14:51 The most common one I would say is yin-tong here. 14:54 So this is relaxation. 14:55 You can stimulate that or EFT tapping also dives into this with nervous system dysregulation. 15:03 But yintong, here, is going to calm the body and help us sleep and relaxation Okay, so besides the egg puncture points, I know you do other like external 15:13 therapies like lymphatic work and stuff Yeah, so there's a lot. 15:20 There's castor oil packs, there is vibration plate red light therapy. 15:24 My favorite probably is liver gallbladder flushes and or coffee enemas because I've just seen massive amount of infection come out with those two. 15:33 It's not commonly used but I do enjoy sometimes having clients depending on how well they are get into coffee enema because that can start to flush liver flukes. 15:45 out of the liver chemicals, dark sludge, things like that that has been in that liver for a really long time because you're opening up the hepatic portal vein. 15:55 flood out. 15:57 Another gentle one that I like is just red light therapy. 15:59 So red-light therapy over the brain. 16:01 If you have a lot of mold, illness, or Lyme, this can actually help just by putting it on the brane for anxiety or on back of the brainstorm for calming 16:11 the nervous system and throwing it into parasympathetic. 16:14 All of these do meridians and sympathetic meridian actually meet at do 14, right at the base of neck. 16:22 We put redlight there. 16:25 Parasympathetic. 16:26 And that can happen within minutes, which is pretty cool. 16:30 Interesting. 16:30 Did you learn these in acupuncture school or after? 16:35 So combination. 16:37 Yeah, we were doing these principles in clinic, but a lot of times you bleed certain areas or you'd, you know, hyper focus on some of the meridians to 16:46 drop blood pressure or change the pulse within a few minutes. 16:52 When you address the blood pressure that way, would you have permanent results or was it temporary or both? 16:59 Temporary because you'd have to get to the root cause. 17:02 So acupuncture is like working out, right? 17:05 You have do it cumulatively until that person gets to a place where, you know, it's twice a week, then you drop down to once a things like that, 17:17 especially with herbal therapy. 17:18 You're you're cleaning up the toxicity that that person has gotten into. 17:22 But with blood pressure, there's a at the top of your ear here, you can believe that and drop the blood Pressure instantly. 17:33 Interesting. 17:37 And then the Vegas nerve stimulation, or relaxation. 17:41 Yeah, so there's certain principles that I like to work with with nervous system. 17:44 So humming, gargling, singing, pretty easy. 17:48 Binaural beats are another one. 17:50 You could just find those on YouTube. 17:52 Calm, the vagus nerve, you can get into red light therapy on the belly, redlight therapy, on neck, calm that vagous nerve. 18:01 Hot cold showers, puncture, wonderful for that. 18:04 Curricular therapy. 18:06 Parasympathetic.
Food Therapy, Organ Meats, and Closing Encouragement 18:08 Nice. 18:08 So the whole point there is to relax the body for more healing. 18:12 And then in the meantime, you got the detox products going, and you've got parasite products gone, cleaning the buddy out, 18:20 trying to heal it. 18:21 Absolutely addressing. 18:23 Yeah, I'm sorry. 18:24 Then you use, for example, standard process to nourish the glands, the organs. 18:29 Absolutely. 18:30 Yeah. 18:31 And then food therapy. 18:32 So I'm really heavy on traditional ancestral diets too. 18:37 If you look at a person's genetic factors, so say Norwegian or Native American, they're eating bison meat, eating the organ tissues and those organ tissue 18:48 are nourishing the organs in the body, so blood feeds blood, bone feeds bone, the liver feeds liver, things like that sort of principles. 18:57 And you can get that now with things, like force of nature, they're grinding up the whole cow. 19:03 So kidneys, spleen, liver heart into the buffalo meat, into. 19:08 The burger, or the turkey, whatever, and then you're feeding and nourishing those in your body instead of just getting the muscle tissue, 19:16 which is just feeding muscle. 19:19 Right. 19:20 Force of nature, they sell supplements or is that like meat products? 19:24 Meat products. 19:25 Yeah. 19:25 So there's multiple companies out there. 19:27 You can get them in a pill form if you're not too keen on eating it, but it's just more rich. 19:33 It's kind of almost like having regular eggs versus a duck egg. 19:37 Going back to those ancient principles of you use everything from nose to tail. 19:43 Get that in and you start to nourish your body. 19:45 Yeah. 19:46 Nice. 19:47 Okay, cool. 19:49 All right. 19:49 Any closing thoughts that you want to share? 19:53 What do you have people to know? 19:55 I would say, you know, if you're feeling like there's absolutely no hope out there coming from someone that almost died from mold toxicity and knocking 20:07 on death's door with Lyme co-infections and, almost three years to clear a parasite infection, you can heal. 20:14 So there's always hope for people that are just sitting at home, not feeling good, feeling like there is nobody out there that can help them. 20:24 It's a different way of thinking, absolutely. 20:26 But if you start to go down this road, You'll find that chronic illness is fixable, 100%.
