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.

"At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac.
We conclude that the mRNA vacs (vaccination) dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination."

In this episode, we have invited Tom, a brave person battling floxed condition. Under Dr. Hugh’s meticulous care, Tom is currently recovering at a steady rate prior to his careful medication. Today, Tom sheds light on the cruelty in the medical world and his resilience to free himself from the shackles of pain and suffering.

Dawn of Tragedy

Tom was involved in an accident at the end of January. A tree branch hit his head inflicting post-concussion syndrome and sinus infection—eventually ruptured his eardrums after four weeks.

He called his family doctor to diagnose his condition and was given a 10-day levofloxacin prescription. He was doing well until he experienced suffering worse than his concussion. He did the responsible thing to go to his family doctor’s office where he was diagnosed as bipolar—he was gaslighted.

Gaslighting is a psychological term where medical professional downplay your symptoms. Tom was not crazy but he was treated as such by the medical personnel. After an arduous defense about his personality for months, he concluded to not talk about any mental health issues with the medical community—he will be regarded as crazy if he does and it will be a glaring mark to his medical history.
Tom went to a doctor from a major university where she was able to alleviate some of his woes. He commended her job but it only went so far. He felt violated talking about her cognitive issues until he was able to find Dr. Hugh—now feeling a lot better.

Consequences
[07:38]
Tom decided to have the power of attorney after he was diagnosed as bipolar. He felt defeated and he could not think clear.

[08:16]

Her wife was overtaxed with work and his condition. It was a stressful situation for both of them, emotionally and mentally. Tom ended up creating a poem—while laying in a dark room.

Lifestyle

[09:52]

Tom’s condition affected his business and personal life. As the months went by, Tom channeled a positive outlook where he made the decision to work towards a healthy lifestyle.

[12:42]

Having a huge plot of land, he went to hike and travel to numerous states. With the help of his friends, he became more productive and active daily.

Stability

[17:58]

Tom cancelled his appointment to a psychologist—he was doing better. He refrained from a psychologist because he does not want to be given another drug that would potentially make things worse. He was already happy and recovering with the assistance of a functional medicine doctor like Dr. Hugh.

[20:25]

With things moving at the right direction, Tom needs more time and he would be better than before the incident.

Spreading the Word

[23:49]

Tom advices to keep things going. Keep trying and don’t stop. Even though it was an uphill battle, Tom was glad that he did not stop. Set your goal and fulfill it!

In this episode, we have invited Carrie, who battled his Flox Condition with a healthy lifestyle. Carrie reached out to Dr. Hugh after all the tests given to him by his previous Doctors came out negative from certain issues. He changed his lifestyle, which made him better and healthier than he was ever before. Carrie will share his story on how he battled his condition and how it affected his body and mindset.

From Abdominal Pain to Floxed

[2:04]

Carrie was having some abdominal pain for weeks. He got it checked and was experiencing some pain. His urine sample came back cloudy, and he thought that there was some blood in his urine. The doctor believed that Carrie had a Prostate Issue.

[3:10]

Carrie was prescribed levofloxacin 750 milligrams per day for 10 days. When he took the third dose, he experienced weird symptoms where he felt anxious, and his heart was irregularly beating.

[4:00]

Carrie asked one of the Nurses if he could stop taking the medications. Apparently, Carrie didn't need them because the tests came back negative, so the nurses said he could stop taking the medicines.

Carrie's experience with his medical treatment and condition

[4:50]

Carrie's symptoms were horrible. It was the worst he's ever felt. For Carrie, it was attacking his whole body at once. It included mental and emotional issues and having nervousness for no reason.

[5:19]

Carrie experienced a rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing. He was put in the COVID protocol because of his breathing problem. It was hard for him to catch his breath, and they scanned his chest to see if he was having a heart attack or anything, but the tests came out negative.

[5:55]

Carrie started to experience tingling in his body like pins and needles. His ankles were sore, and he experienced cranial pressure, fatigue, dizziness, and being disoriented. It was attacking his whole nervous system and just everything on his body.

[6:52]

Carrie couldn't sleep at all. His heart was racing, and he just couldn't relax enough to sleep.

Interfering with his work and lifestyle

[8:59]

Carrie needed to go and reach out. When it first happened in June, he was already experiencing the symptoms. Class was getting ready to start back for the fall, and he just couldn't focus and concentrate for longer than 10 minutes. It was exhausting, and his mind was foggy.

[9:40]

Carrie was really concerned because he couldn't even focus for longer than 10 to 15 minutes. It was exhausting for him, and he had difficulty concentrating on a task.

Reflection

[10:48]

Carrie reflected on the whole process. It had changed his entire lifestyle. He said that he was doing everything wrong and said that everybody should go through consultation and have expert guidance on how to fix their diet and see what's going on with their body.

[12:18]

For less than two months, Carrie changed his diet. He took the supplements h
