A Complicated
Case Follow Up
Judy was diagnosed with two autoimmune disorders. She had joint pain,
bone pain, fatigue, stiffness, rashes on the bottoms of her feet, signs
of hormone imbalance such as hot flashes and irregular menstrual cycles,
dark circles under her eyes, sweets cravings,
low libido, and
gastrointestinal problems. Judy is the type of case that requires a few
lab tests and natural medicine treatments to get her back to good
health. But of course, we start with diet!
Judy started the Monkey Diet. Although she was already eating somewhat
similar to the Monkey Diet prior to her visit, we were able to come up
with 2 main changes to make: discontinue her 30 ounces of Diet
Pepsi each day and increase her vegetable intake. Sounds
simple, but it made a difference! She had also started some supplements
and natural hormone replacement.
We were waiting on her
food allergy
results to come back and we knew that the allergies would make a big
difference in how she was feeling. But just one month of hormones,
supplements, increased fresh vegetables and no Diet Pepsi left Judy with
increased energy, better sleep, and more focus. Wow! Although she had a
ways to go, we were very proud of the changes she had made. The next
step was to avoid her food allergies. Since she had quite a few
allergies, it would be a challenge for her. But Judy was up for it and
willing to do anything to get back to feeling good again. She had a few
other lab tests done and would be meeting with Dr. Hauser at a later
date to review those. With correct diet, supplements, and natural
hormone replacement Judy could see some great changes in her body.
Original Article
We recently had a patient, Judy, come see us who has quite the case. She
had already been diagnosed with two separate autoimmune disorders – both
of which affected her bones and her skin in many different areas of her
body. Some of her symptoms included joint pain, bone pain, fatigue,
stiffness, rashes on the bottoms of her feet, signs of hormone imbalance
such as hot flashes and irregular menstrual cycles, dark circles under
her eyes, sweets cravings, low libido, and gastrointestinal problems.
Some of the treatments she had received included an IV drip that
contained a drug used to treat osteoporosis and bone cancers and two
separate medications used to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis. As her symptoms
became worse, despite the use of these drugs, she started to look
elsewhere for help.
She came to Caring Medical to see what Dr. Hauser recommended. As with
all of the natural medicine patients, Dr. Hauser decided to start with
diet. He had Judy
Hauser Diet Typed
and food allergies tested. He also recommended a number of other tests,
which Judy decided to wait on. Dr. Hauser told Judy that eventually she
would need to have all of these other tests performed, but for now diet
was a great first step to take.
Judy's diet typing results showed that she was a slow oxidizer with
balanced blood pH – a Monkey. When the nutritionist was reviewing the
diet with her, Judy stated that she already ate like a Monkey. While it
appeared that the Monkey diet was the most comparable diet with Judy's
current diet, she wasn't necessarily following all of the Monkey
concepts. She was definitely eating a low protein diet, but it was also
low in vegetables – the base of the Monkey Diet. Judy also drank close
to 30oz of diet soda per day with very little water. A low vegetable
diet with a large quantity of diet soda each day is not a sufficient
diet to support her body – especially with all of the symptoms she was
having. So those were the first two steps to take – increase vegetables
and discontinue all diet soda – Judy would need water and herbal tea as
replacements.
