A great letter - Never Ever Give Up!!!

(bolds and links added by Dr. Z)

I am 71. For two years I suffered from debilitating sweats mostly at night (but also sometimes during the day) insomnia, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. Because of these conditions, I was not able to participate fully in family events, meet with friends or go back to work. I would not have warning when the sweats would start.

When I went somewhere; I had to take towels and extra clothing to change even if it was only for a few hours.

During the night sweats, I would have to get up and change anywhere from one to four times a night usually between 12 and 4 AM.

During the past two years, I have had an MRI, Cat Scan, X-rays, sinus scan, premarin, five antibiotics in an eight week period, allergy tests, a consultation with an endocrinologist, and a colonoscy. Nothing helped.

I learned about Dr. Z from a former co-worker and decided that perhaps he could help me with my problems. I bega Dr. Z's program (Candida/Hypoglycemia) in January and I am feeling better tha I have felt in years.

n
• I am off my blood pressure meds
n
• I am off one of my thyroid meds
n
• My insomnia is much improved
n
• I have lost about 13 pounds and best of all
n
• the sweats are gone
n

I am so happy; I feel life has started to normalize for me.

Mary C. Roseville, CAnn

Dr. Z's comments - the Helplessness of "Western Medicine"

Can you imagine?

n
• This poor woman was put through any imaginable test.
n
• She was prescribed 5 rounds of antibiotics over an 8 week period
n
• She was placed on blood pressure medication
n
• She was given not one, but two thyroid medications
n

Nothing helped - she actually felt worse and worse.

What Mary went through, countless others experience daily while going through our current medical system.

Her story is so typical, it breaks my heart. I see her story repeated day in day out by the patients who come to my office, and the many people from around the country and the world who write to me in their despair.

Her story simply underlines the utter helplessness of "medical diagnosis" in the face of these and other seemingly intractable chronic symptoms.

It is apparent from her account - not only did these "treatments" not resolve anything, they may very well may have worsened her overall health status.

When she came to see me, she looked ill and very miserable. Her heart rate was quite high, her balance was poor, she was weak and had little muscle tone.

Candida and Thyroid "Disease"

When she came to see me, she looked ill and very miserable. Her balance was poor, she was weak and had little muscle tone. Her diet was very high in carbohydrates.

Her heart rate was quite high - 110 just sitting quietly on the examination table. This made me suspicious of possible thyroid over activity. But then - she had been given two thyroid medications for hypo- thyroidism.

Please consider the following:

Candida Yeast Toxins

Candida Yeast organisms can spread out from the lower bowel to colonize the entire digestive tract, including up through the stomach (especially in cases of low or no stomach acid) into the throat, mouth and nasal passages, and down into the lungs. Round yeast forms can revert to a pathological form of budding rhizoids (they look like fingers). These can puncture the colon and the small intestine walls all the way up to the stomach and esophagus. This stage is chronically debilitating. The rhizoids metabolize carbohydrates and emit chemical waste products which leads to toxic bowel syndrome and malabsorption. Among these chemicals are: n

n
• Acetaldehyde: toxic breakdown product of alcohol; leads to toxic liver overload which in turn causes sinusitis, bronchial tree inflammation and infections, chronic kidney infections without infectious agents being present.
n
• Ammonia
n
• Three hormones: testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone
n
• Alcohol: there are documented cases with symptoms of apparent intoxication without any alcohol consumption
n
• Carbon dioxide: leads to bloating gas.
n

n

Acetaldehyde Poisoning and Candida Yeast n

Acetaldehyde is very toxic to Central Nervous System (CNS), it further stresses the liver and kidney and causes vitami B deficiency. If you administer B-vitamins, i.e. flood the system, you can temporarily override some of the symptoms. This does not, however, solve the problem. n

Acetaldehyde interferes with normal hormone metabolism: it affects pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. Acetaldehyde blocks cell membranes and so competes with: n

n
• Thyroxin - where it enters the cells. Blood tests are most always inaccurate: You may have normal blood thyroid hormone levels even though your basal metabolic rate is low: thyroxin cannot get into cells because of chronic acetaldehyde poisoning.
n
• Estrogen binding sites in women: this leads to low cell estrogen while maintaining normal blood estrogen levels.
n

I have found over the years over clinical work that many "health problems" simply vanish when you address and correct the basics of normal body function:

n
• diet and nutritional support
n
• good digestive function
n
• optimal blood oxygenation
n
• balanced brain function

Illness - a Call forChange

For Your Health to Change - You Must Change!

This seems obvious, to me at least. You must take full responsibility. There are many people, however, who want the "Silver bullet".

Actually, we are brainwashed into believing that silver bullets do exist. Simply notice the constant bombardment in TV advertising by the pharmaceutical companies. There seems to be a pill for just about any health problem under the sun. The potential and often rather severe side effects mentioned briefly at the end of the ads speak of a very different reality.

When Mary arrived, she was on several medications, and getting worse.nn nnI told her that my job as a doctor was not to heal her. I told her that the word "doctor" means "teacher".

My job as her doctor:

n
• to teach her what kind of changes she might want to do to allow her body to heal
n
• to monitor her progress over a period of time
n
• to recommend further changes as needed
n
• to encourage her to stay the course
n

Well, Mary was ready to make changes. She knew with certainty that what she had tried over the years did not work. She faithfully followed my recommendations. She changed, her health improved, her outlook on life dramatically improved.

When I saw her last time, she had, by her own choice, decreased her daily medications from three to one. She is determined to find a way to discontinue the last.
