True Health Recovery

Dr Hugh Wegwerth DC

How many friends or family members do you know who are struggling with their health? Probably more than you think. And there's a good chance you're in the same boat, whether it's dealing with anxiety, depression, endometriosis, PCOS, acne, eczema, psoriasis, autoimmune issues, thyroid problems, Lyme disease, brain fog, or just plain fatigue. Trust me, you're not alone. These days, living with health symptoms has become the unfortunate norm.

Most people just learn to live with their health issues, accepting them without questioning why there hasn't been more progress in medical research. But more and more often, these symptoms begin to seriously affect people's quality of life, stripping away the joys and freedoms they once took for granted. They find themselves part of a "hidden army" of sufferers, possibly confined to their homes or even hospitalized, as they bounce from one doctor to another, losing hope and their spark along the way.

The truth is, no one is immune to health issues. Given what we face in today's world and its impact on our bodies, it's possible that anyone could suddenly start showing symptoms out of the blue.

That's where Dr. Hugh Wegwerth D.C. comes in. Join him in his enlightening podcast as he shares groundbreaking, ahead-of-the-curve medical insights that millions around the globe are already using to heal and conquer chronic illnesses. But a heads-up: if you prefer to stay in the dark about these issues, then this podcast might not be for you.

In this episode, we talk about mold and its chronic inflammatory processes in the body.

Checking for Inflammatory Markers

[02:35]

One of the markers that Dr. Hugh checks is the C-reactive protein made by the liver.

It doesn't tell you why you're inflamed. Anything above lab range three tells you that you're at severe risk for cardiovascular disease and have chronic inflammation where your blood becomes thick.

[04:08]
Dr. Hugh's patient did all the conventional systems to rule out any bad stuff happening. The only solution in the system is drugs or surgery. All these medications and terrible lifestyle choices damage the body.

[04:32]
Other inflammatory markers include too much iron storage in the body, leading to organs rusting from inside out.

Mold Test

[05:14]
Testing for mold is essential. Mold has been on planet earth since the beginning of time. It has mechanisms to continue to live forever. It's a very clever pollutant and toxic to the body.

[05:54]
If you have any chronic condition, brain fog, brain fatigue, fibromyalgia, tendon problems, IBS Crohn's disease, you must rule out mold. Mold will cause havoc in everything because this causes chronic inflammatory processes.
[06:19]
Dr. Hugh discussed the simple way to check for mold is doing the urine test. The lab measures mold in your urine and finds out its source. If you have mold in your urine, you have mold in your blood.

[06:40]
Mold will cause systemic inflammation.
[07:04]
The mold that's measured is Gliotoxin. The average amount should be less than 200.

When mold sits in your gut, it allows harmful bacteria and yeast to grow.

Yeast
[08:05]
Yeast produces alcohol as a byproduct. It causes brain fog and brain fatigue.

[08:34]
If you have mold in your gut, it allows yeast to grow out of control and produce alcohol. You get brain fog, brain fatigue, and chronic inflammation that affect your mitochondria.

Poly Therapy Approach

[08:59]
People are not taking into account a polytherapy approach. Dr. Hugh said that the body needs to be looked at as a whole.

[9:23]
Our body is designed to heal and function optimally. If you have a complex chronic condition, the better way to solve it is by a polytherapy approach.

Takeaway

[09:47]
If you are suffering from a chronic condition, you need to address them and do a mold check through a urine test.

[10:14]
Eliminate mold from the body and find the source. There needs to be some essential investigation into where's the mold coming from.

[10:58]
Those mold spores go throughout the entire house. It gets sucked in by your heating and cooling system throughout your house. You're breathing this every day.

Mystery Case Solved With The Correct Approach

If you are suffering from a mysterious medical condition that has been difficult to diagnose, then this may be the article for you.

What follows is an example of a client. It is important to note that this example is a fictional person, but these symptoms are extremely common in the patients I work with every day, and may even sound like symptoms you are experiencing yourself.

Let’s say we have a female patient who is:

45 years old

Premenopausal

Has both low blood pressure and low blood sugar

Low levels of iron and thyroid functions

GI problems (particularly gas, bloating, and constipation)

Low levels of vitamin D

Gluten sensitivity

Difficulty remaining asleep

What Does Not Work for This Client

The conventional system will see she is premenopausal and fatigued, and say she must be depressed. They then prescribe an antidepressant.

Next, they look at her GI problems and say it must be gerd. They give her a medication meant to reduce the amount of stomach problems, which only messes with her system even more.

Once they identify her sleeping problems, they may even add a third medication to help her sleep at night.

The process goes on and on, and soon she is pumping herself full of medications.

There is a better way.

Functional Medicine’s Approach

I would tell this client they are not crazy, that these symptoms are real, but that we can treat them as naturally as possible. The goal is not to fill them with medications, but is to increase their God-given ability to heal.

First we would run some labs to see what different readings we have. These labs often can tell us a lot more about what may be causing some of these problems. For example, she may have deficiencies or excess amounts of some nutrients which are affecting her thyroid, sleep, or blood pressure.

Speaking of which, I would immediately check blood pressure. A lot of women who come to me end up having low blood pressure. Because blood pressure is what causes nutrients to enter into your cells all over your body, if we don’t address the blood pressure, then nothing else we do will have much effect.

Next I would look at blood glucose levels over time. It is very simple and affordable to do, and we can find that she has poor sugar regulation throughout her day.

Once we find your low iron levels I would ask her about fatigue and if she has heavy menstrual cycles. She may be losing enough blood to throw off her body’s ability to regulate iron. It may also be diet related. Iron delivers oxygen to the body, so low iron will cause a lot of different problems.

Next is the thyroid. The conventional system only does the cheapest labs available for your thyroid. On the other hand, we have found that you have an autoimmune disease against your thyroid. That would lead us down an entirely different path of treatment as well.

With vitamin D, the typically acceptable range is 30-100. Anywhere in there, the conventional system will tell you that you are fine. I like to see you closer to 80, so we add vitamin D to your diet.

We also look at your food sensitivities to address your gluten and GI problems. It i

[00:11:50] I know. I remember telling you initially I had weird I had developed phobias

[00:12:00] would be like, I'm scared of travel.

[00:13:09] What to think about pain. Almost unthinkable pain

[00:13:15] ringing in your ears and stuff like that.

[00:15:30] I still I just love you as a doctor

[00:15:40] somebody to guide

[00:16:05] I did a lot of stuff. I tried acupuncture, I tried energy healing. I mean, you don't know, like, I was going nuts and and I was like, please just help me find something that's going to help my condition.

[00:16:20] I'm a spiritual being, your spiritual person,

[00:16:40] The spirit, the power is in your body, heals your body. We just got to figure out what's interfering with that body's ability to heal and function.

[00:17:45] this Floxed just have like so many issues

[00:17:50] so weird like and sometimes, you know, you, you just feel weird sensations throughout your body like you and you have no name for it. You're just like, I don't know.
