What Do Fatigue, Bloating, Anxiety, & Joint Pain Have in Common?

What do fatigue, bloating, anxiety, and joint pain have in common?

 

Possibly parasites!

 

“Health, and disease, begin in the gut.” This message was driven home throughout my years of training in Naturopathic School, where finding the cause of the disease is emphasized. Find and correct the cause of the disease and symptoms, and health will return.

 

FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE A PARASITE

 

In this article, I’ll highlight my experience working with hundreds of patients to troubleshoot bowel changes, and a few home remedies I keep on hand for emergencies.

 

If you have a sudden change in your bowel habits, it’s important to consult a doctor to determine the cause. If you have had chronic bowel symptoms, such as constipation, loose and frequent stools, foul-smelling stools, or excessive bloating the underlying cause could be an infection. If you’ve had symptoms of general fatigue, low iron or B12, mood changes, or early-onset joint pain and arthritis, this can indicate an intestinal or bloodborne infection.

 

Because we can’t treat it correctly until we know what it is, the first thing to do is to run diagnostic tests. In my experience, most parasite and bacteria testing is incomplete and inconclusive. I’ve also found most treatments to be harsh and likely to cause severe side effects, without providing any guarantee of resolution. These scenarios all lead to the doctor having to “shoot in the dark” to try to treat the patient’s symptoms. On occasion, I’ve nailed it. But more often than not, I don’t. It’s exhausting for both the doctor and the patients, who tend to give up and go on living with their issues.

 

Wise Diagnostics to the rescue. Happily, I’ve found both the testing and the treatment that solves the problems I described. Wise Diagnostics is a comprehensive stool and blood analysis performed by an expert who has spent his entire 40-year career testing and treating parasitic infectious diseases. The testing yields the most accurate and complete results I’ve seen in practice. The treatment plans are customized to the specific condition and include organic, plant-based juices that rid the body of infection and rebuild the damage that was done. This approach can save months of treatment time and thousands of dollars from the “shoot in the dark” approach, which often doesn’t work. In this area of medicine, I defer to the experts who focus their careers on only this problem.

 

GET A WISE DIAGNOSTICS TEST TODAY

 

If you have new or chronic symptoms of bloating, bowel changes, fatigue, pain, or mood problems, I urge you to consult our office today about ordering the Wise Diagnostics test. Correcting the gut often corrects most other health conditions.

 

Wise Diagnostics is excellent at detecting hidden blood infections, such as Lyme disease. The organism that causes Lyme is Borrelia burgdorferi, and it’s good at hiding in tissues, especially those of the joints. The NIH states that “Upon entry into the host, Lyme disease Borrelia spirochetes can disseminate into the tissues and persist in the joints, heart, skin, and central nervous system.” This means that long-term symptoms of Lyme can cause heart problems, fatigue, joint degeneration, and nerve function problems.

 

Detecting and removing this invader is tricky and medication-intensive. But not if you run the Wise Diagnostics test. This test relies on microscopic blood analysis, rather than a PCR test, which is highly unreliable and inaccurate. The specialist who analyzes each sample is one of a handful of doctors who can detect Lyme in the blood by sight under a microscope. If it’s there, he will see it. The organic plant-based juice treatment is highly effective and gentle on the body. It can reduce your treatment time by weeks or months. I’ve had several Wise Diagnostic tests return with a diagnosis of Lyme disease in patients who had no idea they had it, but it correlated with their symptoms and answered many questions.

 

Most people are carrying some foreign invaders in their blood and gut. The only way to know, and to correct it, is to test. Schedule a consultation to discuss your symptoms and whether or not the Wise Diagnostics test is right for you.

 

To your health!

MEET ELIZABETH BECKNER AND DAISHA ESCAMILLA

OUR CALIFORNIA LICENSED PHLEBOTOMISTS

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.

Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.

The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

MEET MICHAEL BROOKINS; BS, CNMT, ABAAHP

Mike brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, he began an athletic career as a pole-vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. Throughout his athletic journey Mike was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge the years of athletic experience provide a unique and successful combination that serve to benefit his staff and clients.

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”

Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
