let's talk healthy pats i'm your host doctor and so koski and we have an incredible show today i think you're going to find it so informative and educational and heartwarming in fact i'd like to welcome somebody who i just bet ten minutes ago or fifteen minutes ago and that stephanie were silly stephanie thanks so much from coming for coming on and let's talk healthy has pleasure you know these are one of the shows that i like to do that kind of divert from the pet theme a little bit but in fact it doesn't because the same issues that we're going to talk about with stephanie and myself as well animals have them especially dogs and my little dog tucker here has the same issue and i'm treating tucker the same way i'm treating myself and the way stephanie is treating herself all please take notes get in to get a notepad and take notes because you're going to want to this is such information that's going to change your health and change the way your quality your life and the quality of your health and may send you in a whole new direction as to where you go in future health stephanie when we talked about you coming on us talking all the pats i was a little concerned because this is such a personal story that you have and sometimes it's really difficult to get up in front of strangers or sometimes even somebody you know and tell your story because it impacts your life so much and it's very complicated and it has so many facets to it and it's not just a year or two but it's it's a majority of your life bed and i was an early riser i would get up at four am typically and i was barely making it to work and this is at nineteen years of age right when when you're full of energy right so i knew something was wrong i wasn't in the medical fashion at all or synthetic thyroid at the time they we weren't sure what the reason was but years later we do now realize with with your education and help that i there was a plant that exploded that put off a chlorine gas in the in the vegas area did they associate the explosion with your thyroid yes so the medical profession did say this is directly or result because that they weren't sure but they said there were a lot of people coming up with these symptoms and getting this diagnosis about three months after the explosion and the town was evacuated but at night teen you really i didn't have a whole bunch of common sense and i didn't have family out there and i didn't go into a lot of thirty year olds are very common so i i took a walk and i mean there was this greenish gra bromine and fluoride boring our hair lives that have a greater affinity so when you have long term exposure or you have a sudden impact like you did this chlorine gas that gets absorbed into your it's on a cellular level pretty quickly this by dying that we need it so essential lease it gets displaced and you know have chlorine her bromine or fluoride sites and what's little understood or knowledge that it may be a better word every cell in our body has an iodine receptor site on it and that cell me that i had on a function and we lose it when we were impacted by fluoride chlorine and brown so if you if you look at me for example i spent my life and frontal swimming four to five miles a day teaching lifeguarding teaching swimming classes teaching lifeguard instructors i lived in a pool plus i was given fluoride treatments and i was given for it was you had it for a come from a dental family or was it one of these things we drank tap water full of they put it in the truck a tanker truck is a toxic material yet we ingest it we consume it it's even in medications we have no idea what this does to our bodies and i think most people don't have an idea i  just said i just without your guidance and an education i wouldn't have realized that all of this stemmed from that as a medical professional as a as a as a dentist a dental physician i'm required in practice to tell you to take what i over and not speaking under my mental medical license i'm speaking under my association with the pastoral medical association which gives me protection to speak my opinion and express my knowledge so from this point on this is our talking to my pastor medical association and i'm telling you fluoride is a toxin needs to be avoided every cost as  went from all those years of swimming to my adulthood sitting in a hot tub every night and thinking that was the best because boy i stand there for half an hour an hour or so good right great so but what of the doing i was now yours although mine became like driving as well yours was from a different angle because you had this sudden blast of toxins so when they said it's probably from the pouring that you inhaled and were exposed to what was their next step every three months for the first year checking for level right and yes age mostly ok and then after that it went to six months and then it went to yearly because you were improving my numbers the same dose it leveled off which was i believe it was for the most of the years we were about two hundred two and then in about two thousand and seven was always my wake up time and i would wrestle and have difficulty going back so what you're telling me is that your bar would function had bottomed out you were done weren't producing that the active form of the c g that we need to function tend to get these degrees and think of think of ourselves as a minor doctor gods and there's no such thing and you need to be in charge of your own health and you go to these professionals for advice not dictates to tell you what to do to be well because frankly i don't see a lot of them that understand what it is to be well fantastic in a car after that test you can cut yourself you break a leg extraordinary for health many don't get it and it's of my own sickness to get it i remember my mother thyroid bottom and wasn't producing what you needed your jails are the back up there the horse you have a thyroid is the force horse of the cart is your land the second horse the when they bottom out there's no third horse and you go into physical cellular exhaustion one of the big signs of that is waking up at one thirty two o'clock to go back to sleep so we know now you're in trouble so what was or what was the next happening so i seek guidance from life in general stressful and you're just you know you just need to relax in your head both are right so you're always going to be tired and i didn't really accept that i didn't i didn't want to accept that if you're taking a medication and i felt well she added armor but she also then increased my synthroid and what was the reason for that is you as one nation well she felt that this exhaustion was affecting my life impacting it so much that she really wanted to assist the thyroid so she felt that the synthetic because our bodies are some but a greater sense that it and i had been on about two hundred for so long it probably just needed a bump and then she added the armor so what was the armor so why wasn't the armor revolver why not on the other did you give an explanation for them i'm just curious she did not give an explanation she just believe that that was a good therapy and at the time i didn't really know what to ask or why not just armor i i believe that i would have to be on synthroid forever that's what i was told as a medical provider and you've seen as a nurse so many cases of your people  so i want to explain to the audience so keep your thought please our thyroid produces t one t two to three and four but mostly t four and that t form has to be converted by our body into the active form of t people i don't care what the name brand is they are all t four so you need to have factors in place for that conversion to occur so the rationale of giving a little bit of armor kind of helps the conversion and she had mentioned she found out that some i think times were adrenal related a little of adrenal fatigue steve mentioned and she thought that helping the thyroid out would give the adrenals a break and she was absolutely correct so that if you're being attacked you have the you have the energy to fight somebody off or run like like like a leopard and they're basically your back up they're not meant to give you the energy throughout the we want to talk about that we produce a t b a t p but what's happening is our mitochondria which we get from our mothers is what really translate that energy so when you don't have this production you're like taking a usually get like thirty propensity to them or maybe their genetic defect and i'm not a big genetic defect person we can to blame everybody for everything else but there is a factor of twenty percent factor and it's a lot of whether we take that key and turn that lock and unlock it and our lifestyles and what we're told and eat and drink and medication and everything kind of does that sometimes so anyway i just wanted to give a little bit of a background on that without being too technical into medical and diverting from your little bit what was your diet like when you were nineteen i was actually a very strict vegetarian why just i was becoming health conscious yeah that right and i tried to be a vegetarian for about two weeks and like cheryl i asked it a long time actually just just a few years ago i started realizing how important protein was in that it doesn't work without making yourself here's what happens we co copies you don't know what you're looking at and that's what happens with yourselves because we don't get the proteins but it even goes deeper proteins were not meant to be processed proteins as a whole protein so you and i have a piece of steak and the steak is processed in our bodies and broken down it's amino acids if we have the correct them honest on the gas and if we don't that doesn't break down and then we have a form for an proteins in our body because your body will take the same piece of forth but again we need stomach acid to do that and we're we have a society that is shut down from the gas our right and that's our first events from for infection and it's our first events verb keeping us healthy so we need to pole in the south pole in every cell of our body and we need to keep this frequency of old age in our bodies and without some i guess it can never happen and you brought a vegetarian this is really interesting for something that's in our brain something that's on our nerves it's only animal source without it you cannot hold that voltage that we'll talk about a little bit later and so anybody that's a vegan or vegetarian can never be healthy and will never test out in the proper amount of voltage we know that our voltage run between twenty and minus twenty minus twenty five so without a rocket on a gas it just doesn't happen too much creates an inflammatory response in your body so it's detrimental but that small percentage you had over this period of time even when you were being treated the exhaustion was just amazing i could just barely get out of bed now that got a little better over time but in general it's still really hard it's i still feel tired even after even if i slept all night are you a government wake up it's not yeah still tired and tired all day and it's just you just kind of barely make it through the day sometimes so you're extremely thin and i know you've been losing weight and that's not a good thing that you have any way to lose anyway and we need a fat stories about twenty percent of our body and twenty percent of our consumption needs to be healthy fat to store the voltage that we i suspect that one of the medication you're on is causing this but tell the audience what your diet is now and this is so personal but you've already been personal bodyless you have a flammable response you have disease so it's wonderful talking to a nurse because you have that on the so the reason i'm i guess we should back up a little so so to continue the have we have it and then two or three years later i started feeling some of the same symptoms but i was in a very high stress position at work and six days a week and so it's really easy to blame life in general and your job and that i still have this hypothyroidism that i will always have so you kind of accept that you're just exhausted and everybody is right you just keep on going so that brings us up to last year i was at work it was in september and it was a normal day that particular day at work i was doing a presentation so i had a follower with me because i was demonstrating something we were going to get started about ten and i was fine i was feeling great and all of a sudden very quickly i just felt a little flushed a little dizzy and i felt like it just must be dry it was still warm it was walked over dry will be harder to hydrated so i walked over to the water fountain and i just started drinking and i felt like i got a drink a lot some drinking drinking well thank goodness the the participant that i was going to demonstrate with actually followed me over and i big husky guy and he was talking talking talking and i'm watching him and i can't hear him and i knew i was really sick and i just said i think i'm going to faint and he literally i was out before i he caught me in midair i waited to be gone  a horrible feeling so i basically arrested they had no pulse or blood pressure for about six minutes they say are you crushed gone so for that to happen even though i had lots of professionals helping me out of that doing what they know to do right but i when i came to i'll never forget that moment i started coming to and i heard the guy over here who was the paramedic say i've got a pulse everybody was like i want to and i was like what's going on right who went down and i see all these people around me and it's you never think that you're the one that they're doing c p r on and you know so it was it was quite a moment so we obviously went to the hospital believe it or not and not a whole bunch o it up with the black work it showed that i was a little  hydrated but the biggest factor the biggest change was my heart rate was plans bradycardia very very low was in the forty's and i was not moving it went up to after a few hours of some i v fluid it went into the i never really had any over fifty's sixty's that's low right but it was four hundred twenty pounds you know that's not too too abnormal but they could not get a pressure for the longest time i was down so with some i v fluid and then they they monitored me and basically was just diagnosed with you're dehydrated and get some cardiac testing done because you have this low heart related and it's a really compelling story because you're basically super innocent in all of that it wasn't anything you were doing to yourself you were truly a victim and i don't like that word victim but we can be and within fifteen minutes my heart rate went to forty and my pressure went to seventy and it really felt like i was dying there on the table so i was diagnosed with hyper  which basically means that i have no tone and my vessels to constrict when i need them to constrict to raise my pressure so if you and i are standing at the grocery store in about fifteen minutes you're fine your vessels are going to clamp down and your razor pressure you're going to you're going to be able to get through that line for me without medication my vessels have no tone the adrenals are sick and they  helped and it's still helping i still need it to keep my pressure up and keep my heart rate up but there was no reason we couldn't except that i was at the time i was forty five basically pretty healthy active and one of the biggest things to big sentence and i was having that i was kind of just ignoring again thinking to stress this work i'm exhausted but i i was boiling hourly i i duration right so i would i would travel from floor to floor at my job and i couldn't i would i would avoid it when i would get to the floor i'd be there about an hour and then i have to forward before i go on and that this is going on for a couple months but i really didn't pay close attention until now when i'm looking for what else could be going on you had to produce right and so we tested it and we found that i was sweating about four liters a day and probably only taking in about a leader so we normally produce about seven leaders of fluid in our body ourselves between our celery glands and all the different things that we do to function so if you're losing four later four liters only consuming one you are so messed up you weren't even producing digestive enzymes and i had and i had that that's been terrific going in your body so were you were like super dehydration i guess the best way to say it and you can't function without hydration so you were composting your condition and what was the reason for this what was the diagnosis for that there really wasn't a diagnosis for that i'm not here to knock the medical profession i'm part of it and the education is incredible somehow we become screwed up in the in the procedures and we we  do what i call friends buy medicine we sell it up we cut it away or we suppress it we don't look for the root cause and when you go to a natural path or a holistic or a physician the medical profession who's a friend of mine will tell me to this day i did nothing for you we did it yourself but the whole time i tell him what i was doing now whatever whatever you're doing keep doing it's working for you that was the scenario i heard every time and i just left don't you want to know you're supposed to be healer but the paradigm suggests that we don't want to go so you see we sit here and you look at the root cause and then ok what is really behind all of this so i'm going to tell you what was behind all of this was your thyroid my opinion your journals malfunctions without those two things nothing fucks me and you had all the evidence of that case yet it wasn't being hit upon my right nobody was was calling that something so keep your thought i wanted to check the hydration thing hydration is so critical it's we we breathe we we we get the did the hydr process we process our food begin to die of dehydration process so if you're not taking good quality non chloride on florida for a dated water in your system all the time then you set yourself up for dehydration sodas you are messing with your hydration factor what i do is i drink alkalis water and i think you know as well now at least at least the nine is when i say the minimum because we're always fighting acidity everything we acidic even thinking produces the city response of the body and we don't want to be sitting because city is a non oxygenated environment and most pathogens are anaerobic meaning they wake up without oxygen arrested by oxygen not by acidity as when they become acid oxygen leaks which is difficult if you're not taking quality water or alkaline water so i drink a leader of alkaline water for fifty pounds a body weight of nine point five offline water and if i'm exercising or perspiring i drink more because it's so critical because we are a battery again i keep saying that because we are and if we don't hold that voltage we don't hold the oxygen and we don't hold the oxygen it leads because the voltage is not there we go we go from alkaline to a city and then suddenly we're s symptom that we had notices i would eat and i would be almost nonfunctional and asleep in about thirty minutes so looking into that further we found that i have i do a radio show in pittsburgh once a month or so that i guess not my show but i guess on the shows as very first tuesday week we take a topic system edition and we talked through it so last down to your rectum we talked about one of the things that people don't realize the packers is one of the major functions of digestion and we only hear the pancreas if you have pancreatic cancer if you have diabetes we don't hear forget how important spanker uses so you're just stating how important the bankers it's malfunction was creating disease for you and that now we know the adrenals have control of the glucose so this all of this was leading to the end so you're going from one crisis to the next crisis to the next and so we're noticing more symptoms too you know i mean these were things that you i was just dealing with every day but kept blaming life and stress in my job than just trying to get through it until that event in september and that's when we started really breaking a law that while there's something else really wrong controlled environment and anything outside of that controlled environment will really throw you off and even like for myself i've had many years getting myself together travelling throws me off oh yeah  i made one misstep yeah i have a concert yes because you're so you're really so fragile right i mean one valuation and i'm saying my blood pressure for the next twelve hours and it's easy to forget about it is your cough of the day well if you're if you're off of your routine like i do anything in the evening which is rare sometimes i will miss that evening dose and then it's too late then i'm i'm in the sevent when i wake up and then i have to take extra madis and put that pressure going i have to be careful i have this extra orthostatic hypotension which means my blood pressure will drop significantly very quickly with a position change so i have to be careful when i stand to have to be careful if i'm looking at something on the bottom shelf and this happen to me i was looking out of something on the bottom shelf and i stood right up and down like there's no warning it's and you have no press remember what was the last thing i have done the first i'd be in a car my hands on the steering wheel and unable to hold my hands up because they felt like lead yeah and the poor side of the road and i pick up the cell phone thinking ok this must be it yeah yeah terrible feeling yes but helpless i turned it around and that's what you're doing right now working really hard at trying to live and it's a job  a full time job and i did get well right and then a full time job to stay well right and then you get educated well that's the hard part right as you're bombarded by advertisements you bombarded by drug companies your physicians have a certain philosophy  t the food manufacturers have a certain well they i think are one of the biggest contributors to your health but it's choices we make but there's sometimes a monetary sometimes we don't have access it's hard to get  they're going to build up inside of us and we're going to we're going to start shutting down says symptoms that we need to function like one of the things that i do and i don't know if you're doing this i take milk thistle and hope this all is a climate of the liver plans they also kind of helps with the and i'm not saying that was your case to begin with we know what started you i think i was i think i had a thyroid problem on the time i was born and i can i can document why and everything simply stating my siblings were never sick i was always saying and the reason i was sick is i never had voltage i never had oxygen and bugs were always waking up and how can i eat you and they were doing a good job of that last tonsils at five years or in in the bile i mentioned tonsils and adenoids and there's a whole bunch of theories on root canals and adani work in your mouth shut down your immune system so if you look at me i probably have a negative two hundred immune system but i don't get colds my head sick i don't have diabetes because i'm doing the things in all of these deficits i'm doing the things to support my body getting the nutrients that my body needs p i agree in the last eighteen months since you've got me on alla supplements to take i've not had a cold i used to get viruses all the time cause i've not had any of that in and you know right how you came to be in this knowledge so here's tucker in tiger's a rescue we know he's paralyzed from the vets that as paralyzed him and but tucker had a talk or had a thyroid issue wasn't aware of because i saw no signs of salaries so i took him just for some routine blood work and i said check the thyroid and frankly this was prior to me really understanding to the depths that i understand how th thyroid functions now after several years of research so they did a t s h and they did a two three three two three three p four and he came back with so low it was almost the point of the story is you need to check your animals because banks and nations and fluoride in the vaccines which they do put fluoride in the vaccines on some of the vaccines begin to shut down that we tend to give said on the thyroid we tend to get tap water to our that everybody gets their diaries checked for their dogs and if they see it low go with it and then try to get your veterinarian to prescribe armor thyroid if it's normal i really haven't found anybody to test for the reverse t three which we'll talk about so it's kind of a judgment call that point but look after your dogs they have the same troubles that we do if you think about it  stephanie's a friend of my sister's one day i get a call from from beverly in beverly says my friend is having some real problems doesn't look well would you talk with her and i said i'm happy to tell the story but be careful  so i just i believe we started an e mail and just kind of gave you an overview of what had happened and where i was in on this and you shed a lot of even understood prior to and i willing add that a lot of positions on the stand as words and so we produce mostly g for as we mentioned earlier and he would be deferred to the active form of two three certain things potent and so necessary that we live off of them small amounts but it needs to convert so the conversion factors just for the sake of the audience i die a biggie but you cannot start just taken iodine you you you have to do some test of verify where you are in your system and i'm not a believer of taking a blood test i look at symptoms and i think you can should be able to diagnose from the symptoms of a good physician should be able to and then do the back up with a blood test because what test is nothing more than nothing more than a picture moment in time for all of at that time yourself and that can change at any given time so this conversion factor actually takes iodine and family group so i can understand my feelings better i didn't want to go because i didn't want to get into another argument with my boyfriend but i'm glad i went i'm starting to understand that i didn't cause his anger didn't cause his drinking it's a great relief to hear a new untreated hearing loss can keep your loved ones from enjoying what they cherish most that you don't let that happen speak about hearing loss you'll be glad you did when you're finished with your food or beverage cartons toss it in the recycling because every card thank you turned into useful paper products put your card in with your other recyclables and let them start  welcome to let's talk all the pets of your house dr i don't care we're here with stephanie or silly in my little dog talker and we've been talking about stephanie's adventure from good health for health on our way back to good health on the way to wellness and that's the whole purpose of let's talk healthy pets why their view about animals or about it once we are we are both trying to achieve wellness so we were talking about blood tests what i what i remembered and in our conversation is we really never identified with the thyroid where it is and we've talked about a lot about the highroad to master some people may know it's the master plan it is them it's the voltage regulator for your whole body it's what keeps you in energy it which it's what else produce hormones it with it helps process your food helps digestion so a thyroid that is not functioning properly means that you are not functioning properly so where's that diaries  is a butterfly save the land and it's again the master plan of your whole body it sits right here so i just wanted to throw that in because i was negligent in doing that so we were talking about blood tests so the standard blood tests are that t three t s h two three three two three fifty four total t three total four hundred four which are two different tests but what's critical here there are some critical things that the average tests aren't done that they're not performed and some some people do not even know about these tests and i'm sure you had that resistance because i remember our conversations why would i do that test i never heard of that test and these is some of the seek out people out the knew what they would you know i mean i'm in a volatile position because i'm not in practice and i'm just basically giving my advice and i'm not leaving cause vice i'm given an education and guidance for you to take charge of yourself and go investigate it that i needed to go forward to go forward and have an understanding so i'm never telling you what to do i want to tell you what i do and what worked and what worked for me but i definitely do not tell you to do this and sometimes i'll tell you well that's the wrong position for you because because the not giving you the help that you need in there leading you down in that bad path and that's one of your physicians was so doing that to you and you were showing the results of that and it was frustrating for me because i would say to my sister about say that they're they're killing her you know we got a helper and and he in the beginning of this that the only blood test that was drawn was a t s h to say and that's very typical a lot of times they'll just look at just that and without doing the breakdown and tells it gets a message from the thyroid to say i need stimulated in order to make dire thyroxin sort of make tyra seem so this loop kind of circles so when they see on a blood test again only a moment a picture a moment in time they'll see a low some some starter here because i need to produce more tire working so that's the whole basis of everything but yet that's that's fault and there's a there's a fault in a cyst a break in the force that's just about a tenth of what you need to know to really know wh so if you look only at that t s h and it's in a normal range there's a whole mess of things that you need to know that t s h isn't telling you so who's b s are the names of critical tests that we need we need something called a reverse t three or an r t three which most people don't know of and this r t three is telling you the t three that's in your system that your body can't utilize that's the best way to describe it it's it and non active form of t three so if that is high there's an indicator something's wrong and then if you take the r t three and you're free t three you develop a ratio and that ratio tells you really what your thyroid is functioning so that needs to be above a twenty and i've yet to see that and anybody that i've discussed this dire at issues that come back with these blood tests i really see a fact i will say i've not seen because these people a deficient one of the big things that happens in the bodies we have a tendency to develop antibodies against things for various reasons and i'm not i'm not immune system believer i think when that's collateral damage of a foreign body being attacked by your body to help you and so this collateral damage i don't think there's what happens over here is you get strep throat strep throat is the bacteria eating and they they use enzymes to digest your your tissue so they concede and when enzymes go to another place and they go looking for these enzymes they go looking for a cause a bacteria fungus which is hard to diagnose or anything else they can find in there and they say oh you have an auto immune disease your body's attacking cells that are the it makes sense when you really look at it but the fact that it may be attacking a foreign body doesn't make sense and then you have collateral damage so we need to look for these antibodies they're being produced and so there's a test called a t d o and the other test is but you certainly do not want to take iodine or even armor thyroid the natural desiccated thyroid if you have high embodies because you'll start going to periods of anxiety and heart palpitations and you certainly don't want to take a bad situation and made it worse so you definitely direction you need control you need you need testing you need all of these things before you just jump in and say amen to stimulate my thyroid the one a lot of the factors as i sure you found out yourself no one was looking at your d three levels and actually d two levels and that's a that's a vitamin d twenty five test no one was looking at your b twelve levels and this is often not even thought of it's ferret and it's it's production from arm normally if you look at a blood result it says twenty three usually twenty three twenty five by remember correctly to about two hundred is a normal karajan level but you don't start this conversion process with situation and as you were doing that and making these other changes you saw improvement in energy improvement in all your functions of your body even though i think it's ok to say you're not where you need to be now and after a period of time neither am i but on the whole has a long motor so i remember getting the call from you after we first started talking after the after the emails and the texting and we were talking and i was but the digital ones not actually whatsoever so don't even begin to think about using them so and so you need to take your temperature axillary right as you wake up in a few minutes through the covers off meaning under your arm all right your armpit and you want to do this when you first wake up in the morning so you don't want to get up you don't want to go the bathroom and start eating and drinking this is the first first thing on your left to do it's called the baby's all metabolic temperature and really it's really  the basis of how your thyroid function because again the thyroid is that regulator it's regulating your metabolism metabolism which is related to your temperature so if you're menstruating you want to do it on the second third or fourth day but just about everybody else can do it any day and again it's that upon wake up you wake up you open your eyes you have that the monitor sitting next to you shake it down you stick it under your arm and you hold it there for ten minutes ten minutes and then you take that reading if your thyroid is functioning normally you will be at ninety seven eight to ninety eight two that will be the temperature range that you get if it's not functioning normally then and it's low that you're in trouble so it's  the time i collapsed in bed i never was a good sleeper really but i think as i was developmentally deficient i did have issues with my nails i'd certainly have the i just of into the issues but you and i am now up to ninety seven two so not so add a year i went from i went to greece which is incredible again a simple test doesn't doesn't require office visit doesn't require really any money something you can do yourself and if you you can google doctor brought a barnes on the internet as the brunt of arms and subdued and he quickly associated this basal metabolic temperature test with how your thyroid function back in the good old and they that was exactly how they beat herman or the your thyroid was function that somehow somehow we we lost that we lost it all just like high cholesterol and i'm talking three hundred a greater because two hundred forty cholesterol my opinion is not high two hundred is not high the older you get the more cholesterol you need is the foundation for your brain your nerve cells your hormone manufacture everything and we suddenly have this  this pill to lower cholesterol now everybody's everybody's got to have like a super low cholesterol i'm trying to get mine higher than i have so what happens here is in the olden days high cholesterol was indicative of a lot thyroid function and here's the reason that is you have that temperature that we talk about you have that voltage that we talk about you have the oxygenation and we talk about we know that over growth of fungus in your body which is extremely damaging makes cholesterol makes the what we call backlash although i'm a believer in bad cholesterol if we didn't have it you would die it punctures holes patches holes in your blood vessels so what what happens with with this fungus is it basically that's that's what's happening for understanding purposes so all those tests were were sound diagnostic tools book when blood tests came all along through those away when when that kills table long we threw all this stuff away so we need to get back to this basic stuff ferritin should be at sixty we talked about that we talked about b twelve levels being so important vitamin d three we talked about the ab body tests we talked about the r t three r g three reverse two three and  t three was there anything else that i may be forgetting here i think that's that's it so you got arm with those tests and what did your physician say well one physician i'm biting my lip i don't know if you notice that that it's not useful not useful and that it's old school old school and that she would not well we're still working with it but we i mean this process is basically i have too much unused unconverted observers so we are kind of in a weaning process so i'm coming down off of one but but you have to take it very slowly because it's a it's quite a journey it's a journey and you have been insolvent so much the last thing your body kind of adjusts to change yeah slowly slowly you don't even know you're going in a change of wellness and that help you have to make that adjustment slowly because you don't want to shock your body again and so it was every about every four weeks we took it down a little but i got i actually got worse as we went down i kind of took a dip and now i'm back on the upswing because i'm on a pretty low dose but we're still having to take away from that because it's as as one of my physician put she'll look at it and she might not know exactly what to do with the medicine but that is her red flag as to how sick her patient is there's other things going on and so when you when off of some of these medicines it actually puts more stress on the adrenals and so if you're already in adrenal fatigue or adrenal failure then it puts you actually in a worse state so i did i did definitely have a worse dip there for a  while and i know you were scared yes i was feeling but of i understand what i do that's something that is normal and that you get through it and then it's it's and i did it's almost like a ceiling crisis right you think audience what symptoms you had before because we really we talk a little bit about your sometimes but you can look at a whole list of symptoms from the pression to snoring using avenue using a c pack and they'll say well here's a c back but they don't say why or why do you need to see th know you're the overwhelming fatigue was always the primary way it was a lot of people notice right but it was overwhelming it was a struggle just to get through the day while i was working at that point i would just make it to work and barely make it through my day and then i'd come home and i was done i would have the rest of the night so i had a work life but not a normal life now and then going through work like a struggle so did you have you had  pressure issues yes so brain fog a little bit of forgetfulness i was always so sharp on everything and i was finding i couldn't remember things so you go through the list and you've got this and this i got this i this but we don't know why we got this right but now we know why but we do yeah and so you're making that effort that jump that that's going to propel you into a much better quality of life yes with all the information education we can all be a little more aggressive with my physicians us till you know we need to do this we need to test that so you took charge and you didn't go to somebody and say what do i do you say this is what i know this is what i got this is what i what i understand how do we find to me so you're in charge not somebody because i have a degree right i mean do you take your card a mechanic and say it's making a noise fix it you say now the noise is over here it started when i did it is you go through all that stuff and you know that it's an alternator let's say and you don't you don't go in there and let them say well that's your it's your water pump right right relatives all say their physician well you know they worked hard they've accomplished a lot they've done a lot of good but just the man they're just the woman they made a little more about this but you may know more little more about that and so you don't go to them with this attitude you go with this attitude i've been having issues we need to resolve the issues and it's not take this pill their friends that message is not cut away so back on your suppressi e look at what wellness is look at how the body functions look at what we need to feed the body and all these going to factor i will tell you and you can and you can say if you think i'm right or wrong i'm never insulted i'm not right all the time i hope to be right half the time so you've done really well so far if your stomach acid is low there is no way that you are rebuilding cells because you can't utilize the proteins breaking down reassemble them you can't have direct function or whole biological dean and we have to look at ourselves as a whole biological being i remember when i first graduated from college and before i decided to get my medical degree i i was working and there was a supervisor that said to me you don't think about holistic medicine and i want her to you know what what the heck is that is that some herb you know and just kind of gave me the dirtiest look and then of course scenery and all these years and i would like to say though i know a little bit of a holistic medicine so what it took me to have a crisis to even think about when i was given up for dead and for five years was was he still alive that's a surprise how every time the five years my position said to me five years later every time you walked in that office i thought that was the last time i was saying wow now and then you'll tell me the same breath  chemotherapy and radiation if you live long enough because a minor infection that wouldn't affect the average person could take him down and i've said it's a wait and see wait and see if you live long enough for us to kill you that's my my attitude about it  a blood reports are healthier than his physician or a physician that i wish my blood report was that good but he took an aggressive stance he changed his diet he's taking supplements to support the body well because you don't understand it you should be making yourself understand it and i understand as restrictions as guidelines the associations get on you when you when you burp something that they don't like i had that happen to me when i wrote it was interviewed personally about myself and about my dogs and i mention that i don't buy manufactured dog food and i make my own food and two weeks later is a car counter article that i don't know what i'm talking about than how dog food is safe and nutritious and it's formulated by people who know what they're doing not  a dentist and a suit and i don't even like that and i added because i know what the purpose of it was the slap me because they don't want anybody saying anything that opposes their paradigm or their money or whatever and then two weeks after that these dogs died because of the food is being produced in china so we have to think outside of the structured box that we've been brought in and we have to do that with ourselves our food our wellness stay away from commend you it it's it takes great strength to get up in front of a camera and talk about issues that are so personal to you but i'm going to tell you i'm actually giving myself chills even thinking about it i know you have inspired people who are having not doing so we could talk for another four hours and this stuff so i just want to say thank you so much for having me on i wish you nothing but the healthiest light and and i know you're going there and you're making it you're making your life yet and keep it up and again anything that i can do i will do tucker thanks for being a super trouper thank you so much for watching let's talk healthy pets we'll see you next time remember a healthy pet is a happy pad healthy human is a healthy happ
