The 7 Keys to UltraWellness: Discover Why You are Sick and How You Can Heal

"I didn't know how bad I was feeling until I started feeling better."

That is what my patients tell me every day. They go from being ill or just okay to experiencing UltraWellness.

Most people don't know how poorly they feel until they feel better. In fact, most of us don't recognize that fatigue, digestive problems, aches and pains, allergies, headaches, and more aren't just annoying symptoms. They are early clues to impending diseases that can disable and kill us.

Most heart disease starts in the womb. You can detect brain changes in teenagers that can predict the development of Alzheimer's disease. Blood tests in children can predict who will develop diabetes later in life. Most cancers take more than 30 years to grow to the size where they can be detected.

How can we address problems that we don't even know we have?

There is an answer. It lies in the revolution that is happening in medicine today. That revolution is called ... read more

Why Supplements are a Waste of Money ...
"Vitamins are a complete waste of money." That's a common refrain among some conventional doctors. Is it true? Well, yes! BUT... There's more to this story.

I have reviewed reams of research and many claims for and against soy foods. What have I discovered? Well, there's some good news and some bad news.

Featured Success Story
"I have been up and down in my weight for years, but the more pressing issue for me was my chronic vertigo. Today, I've lost 12 pounds, my vertigo is 98% gone, and all my other symptoms have disappeared ... in only 7 weeks my life completely changed ..."

Before my vertigo started 5 years ago, I was an active young woman--an adventure traveler and hard-working advertising executive who had fun with life. Vertigo turned me into someone who barely made it through the day and longed for weekend ... my body rocked all day long I felt like was on a raft at sea every day, and the hardest part was that I couldn't sleep because as soon as I laid down I would rock awake.

I had MRI's, vestibular therapy, and acupuncture 4 times a week for years ... but still no relief.

I was literally on my knees and knew I was going to have to figure this out myself. That's when I heard a presentation by Dr. Hyman, and something clicked in me. I thought, "If inflammation could cause so many health problems, then why couldn't it cause the fluid in my ears to swell? Maybe that's what's causing my vertigo." I had obvious signs of inflammation in my hands. I got so excited to try something new, something I had never heard of before ...

In only 7 weeks my life completely changed ...

The vertigo is 98% gone, I have lost 12 pounds, and I can now do light exercise, something I haven't been able to do for years. I have energy now and am usually awake before the alarm goes off in the morning. My sugar cravings and cravings for high carb and high fat foods have decreased. And I feel better than I have a long time.

The UltraSimple Diet is easy-breezy. What have you got to lose? You can have your whole life back in 2 weeks. Small risk. BIG Reward!

Six days in to the plan

I started eliminating bread on the fourth of July. I noticed something almost right away and stronger in the next four days. Then on Thursday I had a sugar feast. M&Ms and some other chocolates at night. The next day I was deeply depressed. It started about 12 hours after injestion and continued for about five hours, lessening as time went on. This morning I am better, but my dreams where anxious last night, and I slept restlessly.
I need my sleep to function well. So when I eat crap, I will feel like crap. My skin still itches, which is one thing the plan said would happen. It is mostly my torso and upper thighs front and back. My right ear seems to be flowing with clear liquid as I sleep on it. This clear liquid is not copious but is there every night and dries to the ear. I clean my ears every morning, an OCD thing, so i would notice more stuff than regular.

The Ultra Mind is working

I deleted gluten on Independence day the fourth. Now into the fifth day I can tell my memory is returning.I woke up this morning remembering many details of my dreams of last night, and stuff that happened yesterday,last night before dinner and as I was with mom after dinner. I was amazed, and am amazed at the effects of just stopping the gluten.
for years I did not know what gluten was, how it could be poisoning me. My god! It is amazing!
Vitamins and supplements started in the afternoon yesterday. I have often taken these things, as anyone has, but I have done it this time with some new stipulations. It must be either liquid, or powder and the most bio available form. That is one thing one must learn. A lot of this stuff is not absorbable and full of fillers that are in themselves poison to your body.
List of supplements now
Peter Gillham's Natural Calm Magnesium a powder
Sundown's Mercury Free fish oil
Pure Essence Labs Life Essence a multivitamin powder
Calrson Vitamin D3 2000 IU soft gels
Nature's Way Turmeric-pill
Jarrow Methyl B-12-pill
Evening Primrose oil
I am still taking prescription meds
Cymbalta, Provigil,Paroxitine, Simastatin,Levothyroxine
The VNS implant is at 2 mhz every two hours.
I am also changing diet to whole foods and more organic. Changing sweetners to stevia, or stevia based products.

Try Six Weeks to an Ultra Mind be Mark Hyman, MD.

I received an email about two weeks ago from Bill Harris of CenterPointe. He has a newsletter that reviews subjects that are life changing in terms of mind body and health issues. His system is Holosync, but that is for another post. The newsletter was about Mark Hyman's Six Weeks to an Ultramind.
Just WOW! He had put together something truly amazing. The concept is that the whole body is interconnected.Now of course every one with a little brains knows this, but not the everyday common doctor (psychiatrist,internist etc). So what bothers the body also bothers the brain. Health your body, and your brain will follow.
I started last month with supplementing with a great magnesium. That is working.So when I received the Ultramind information, well, I was at a point that I knew that my problems were in my body.
I have for years researched supplements,vitamins and any other treatments that would give me relief from this depression. Well, this is another step. And everything he says makes so much sense. But he knows why to supplement with what and how much to supplement at what time of day and what to expect. He does not have a line of supplements to sell,just good common sense in a formalized format. A guide. So I have started by dropping gluten. This is my third day off of anything made with flour of any kind. All ready I am showing signs of my mind clearing. Now on to ordering mega bioavailable vitamins. It will be great. Anything to fight this thing.
