All my life I was a healthy man. I exercised, I watched my diet, and I had never been hospitalised. Then in 2019, at 58, I felt lethargic for a week for no reason. An ECG at a clinic showed I had suffered a heart attack — yet I had no chest pain, no sweating, nothing. The angiogram found three blockages, two of them above 70%, and I had two stents put in. After that came the medications, and chest pain that came and went over the years.

I have a medical background, and to me disease is a process. A process can be stopped, and it can be corrected. Medication only controls it. So I read the testimonies of Heal Within® patients and gave it a try.

Dr Lee found what was hidden in me: a leaky gut. He explained that heart disease begins with inflammation, not cholesterol, and my gut was letting rubbish into my blood all the time. It was like a bucket with a hole — however much I poured in, it never filled up. He also found toxins and heavy metals, mineral deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. It made complete sense to me.

Within about a week I felt the change. My bowels, my energy and my sleep all came back. The chest discomfort, the tiredness and the breathlessness are gone, and so is the choking feeling from a cyst in my thyroid. I can walk up five floors without a problem, and I am back to my exercise routine. Today I am off all my medications, including the blood thinner — with both stents still inside me.

I stayed disciplined. I went gluten-free, and I even carried my supplements with me on Hajj.

My advice? Don't stop at cholesterol. Find out where the problem is really coming from — the heart, the gut, or somewhere else. And never give up. Don't stay at home lying down because you are a heart patient. You must have the willpower to make a comeback.

4. Causes & Root-causes to Medical Conditions
Dr Lee identified four underlying root causes driving every one of this patient's eleven diagnosed conditions. Treating the root causes — rather than managing each disease separately with medication, as his past treatment had done since 2019 — is what makes lasting healing and recurrence prevention possible.
◉ Gut disbiosys & acidosis

What it is:

Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance in the trillions of bacteria living in the gut, where harmful species crowd out beneficial ones and the gut environment turns acidic. Over time this damages the gut lining, a barrier only one cell thick, until it becomes “leaky”. Undigested food particles and bacterial toxins then pass into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation throughout the body, while the essential nutrients the body needs leak out unabsorbed. In this patient, it ran silently for years.

Sources / Triggers:

Gluten- and wheat-heavy diet, high sugar intake, frequently skipped meals, chronic work stress, absence of probiotic or nutritional support, long-term use of post-stent medications.

Mechanism:

The gut lining is a single layer of cells sealed by "tight junctions". Gluten releases zonulin, which prises these open, while dysbiosis and acidity erode the lining further. Food particles and bacterial toxins then leak into the blood, provoking an immune attack and inflammation with every meal, while nutrients go unabsorbed. Dr Lee's live blood analysis showed exactly this: food particles, fibrin strands and crystallisation. Chronic inflammation and silent nutrient starvation became the soil for all eleven of his conditions.

Ischemic Heart Disease (2 Stents) — Development:

  1. A gluten- and wheat-heavy diet, high sugar intake, skipped meals and years of undue work stress disrupted his gut bacteria and turned his gut acidic, while gluten repeatedly prised open the tight junctions of his gut lining.
  2. His gut wall became permeable — a leaky gut — though he felt no digestive symptoms at all.
  3. Undigested food particles and bacterial endotoxins passed into his bloodstream, visible as food particles in his live blood.
  4. His immune system attacked them continuously, releasing inflammatory cytokines into his circulation day after day.
  5. These cytokines damaged the endothelium, the delicate inner lining of his coronary arteries.
  6. The damaged artery walls drew in cholesterol, immune cells and fibrin to patch the injury, building plaque, while the same inflammation made his blood sticky and prone to clotting.
  7. Plaque narrowed three of his coronary arteries, two by more than 70%, until in 2019 the restricted blood flow caused a silent heart attack that required two stents.

Heart Failure — Development:

  1. His gluten-heavy diet, high sugar intake, irregular meals and chronic stress kept his gut dysbiotic, acidic and leaky.
  2. A constant stream of endotoxins and inflammatory cytokines entered his bloodstream from his gut.
  3. Some of these cytokines directly weaken the contraction of heart muscle cells.
  4. His narrowed coronary arteries starved the heart muscle of oxygen, and the 2019 heart attack damaged part of it.
  5. His leaky gut failed to absorb the magnesium and selenium that heart muscle needs to generate energy and contract strongly.
  6. Weakened, inflamed and under-nourished, his heart muscle lost pumping strength.
  7. His heart could no longer pump efficiently enough to meet his body's needs — heart failure — showing as breathlessness and tiredness.

High Cholesterol — Development:

  1. His gluten-heavy, high-sugar diet and chronic stress disrupted his gut bacteria and damaged his gut lining.
  2. Healthy gut bacteria help the body excrete cholesterol through bile; with dysbiosis, more cholesterol was reabsorbed instead of eliminated.
  3. Endotoxins leaking through his gut travelled straight to his liver through the portal vein.
  4. His inflamed liver increased its production of cholesterol, which the body uses to repair damaged tissue and vessel walls.
  5. The ongoing inflammation in his arteries kept signalling for more cholesterol to patch the damage.
  6. Production rose while elimination fell, and his blood cholesterol climbed — unnoticed, because it had never been checked.

Pre-Diabetes — Development:

  1. His high-sugar, wheat-based diet and irregular meals fed harmful gut bacteria and damaged his gut lining.
  2. Endotoxins leaked through his gut into his bloodstream.
  3. These endotoxins inflamed his liver, muscles and fat tissue.
  4. Inflammatory cytokines interfered with the insulin receptors on his cells, so they responded less to insulin — insulin resistance.
  5. The loss of beneficial gut bacteria also reduced the gut hormones that help regulate blood sugar after meals.
  6. His pancreas had to release more and more insulin to keep his blood sugar in check.
  7. His blood sugar gradually rose into the pre-diabetic range.

Other Conditions — Development:

  1. His gluten-heavy diet, high sugar intake, skipped meals and chronic stress kept his gut dysbiotic and leaky for years.
  2. His damaged gut absorbed iodine, selenium, magnesium, zinc and amino acids poorly, and the immune tissue lining his gut — around 70% of the body's total — was weakened.
  3. Short of iodine and selenium, and inflamed by an immune response to leaking gluten, his thyroid grew uneven tissue that formed a cyst, pressing on his throat and causing choking sensations.
  4. Gut-derived cytokines sensitised his pain nerves, while low magnesium and reduced gut serotonin left his muscles tense and painful — fibromyalgia — and chronic inflammation with poor protein absorption broke his muscle down faster than it could rebuild — muscular atrophy.
  5. With his immunity weakened, a chronic infection settled in his left middle ear; the infected fluid built pressure behind his ear drum, and with its collagen repair impaired by low zinc and vitamin C, the ear drum ruptured.
  6. Sticky blood and inflamed small vessels starved his inner ear of oxygen; combined with low magnesium, the hair cells of his cochlea fired false signals — tinnitus — and his balance organ sent mismatched signals — vertigo.
  7. One root cause in the gut thus surfaced as seven seemingly unrelated conditions across his thyroid, muscles, nerves and ears.
◉ Toxins & Heavy-metals

What it is:

Toxicity is the build-up of harmful substances in the body faster than the liver, kidneys and gut can clear them. These include heavy metals, chemical pollutants and toxins absorbed from the gut. Heavy metals are especially damaging because the body cannot break them down; they lodge in organs and blood vessels for years, generating free radicals and displacing essential minerals. In this patient, toxicity was uncovered at his follow-up reviews, and had been inflaming his blood vessels and heart.

Sources/Triggers:

Urban air pollution and vehicle exhaust, pesticide and chemical residues in food, food additives and preservatives, contaminated water, plastics and household chemicals, long-term pharmaceutical medications.

Mechanism:

Heavy metals and toxins harm the body in three ways. They generate free radicals, causing oxidative stress — a "rusting" of cells and blood. They displace essential minerals such as zinc, magnesium and selenium from the enzymes that depend on them. And they overload the liver, slowing detoxification further. In this patient, a leaky gut kept letting toxins in while his liver struggled to clear them. Dr Lee's live blood analysis showed crystallisation and oxidative stress, and follow-up reviews confirmed toxicity inflaming his vessels and heart.

Ischemic Heart Disease (2 Stents) — Development:

  1. Decades of urban exposure, a leaky gut letting toxins into his blood, low selenium and magnesium, and no periodic detoxification allowed heavy metals and toxins to accumulate faster than his overwhelmed liver could clear them.
  2. Heavy metals lodged in the walls of his blood vessels, where the body has no way to break them down.
  3. There they generated a constant stream of free radicals — the oxidative stress, or "rusting", visible in his live blood.
  4. Free radicals damaged the endothelium of his coronary arteries and oxidised his LDL cholesterol, turning it into the sticky form that lodges in artery walls.
  5. Heavy metals also displaced zinc and magnesium from the enzymes that keep arteries flexible, reducing nitric oxide and stiffening his vessels.
  6. His inflamed, oxidised artery walls steadily accumulated plaque.
  7. Plaque narrowed three of his coronary arteries, two by more than 70%, until in 2019 the restricted blood flow caused a silent heart attack that required two stents.

Heart Failure — Development:

  1. His leaky gut, impaired liver detoxification, low detoxifying minerals and lack of periodic detoxification allowed heavy metals and toxins to build up in his body.
  2. Heavy metals accumulated in the tissue of his heart muscle.
  3. They poisoned the mitochondria — the energy generators — inside his heart muscle cells, cutting their energy supply.
  4. The resulting oxidative stress kept his heart muscle chronically inflamed.
  5. Heavy metals displaced selenium and magnesium, two minerals the heart muscle relies on to protect itself and contract properly.
  6. Combined with narrowed arteries and the damage from his 2019 heart attack, his heart muscle steadily lost strength.
  7. His heart could no longer pump efficiently enough to meet his body's needs — heart failure.

High Cholesterol — Development:

  1. His leaky gut, impaired liver detoxification, low detoxifying minerals and lack of periodic detoxification allowed toxins and heavy metals to accumulate.
  2. His liver, the body's main detoxification organ, became overloaded and congested.
  3. The liver clears both toxins and cholesterol through bile; as bile flow slowed, less cholesterol was excreted.
  4. Heavy metals impaired the liver's ability to pull LDL cholesterol out of the blood.
  5. Oxidative damage to his blood vessels signalled the liver to produce even more cholesterol for repair.
  6. With clearance falling and production rising, his blood cholesterol climbed.

Pre-Diabetes — Development:

  1. His leaky gut, impaired liver detoxification, low detoxifying minerals and lack of periodic detoxification allowed toxins and heavy metals to accumulate.
  2. Toxins and heavy metals built up in his pancreas, liver and muscles.
  3. Oxidative stress damaged the insulin-producing beta cells of his pancreas, which have very weak antioxidant defences of their own.
  4. Heavy metals interfered with insulin receptor signalling, making it harder for glucose to enter his cells.
  5. His toxin-burdened liver released more glucose into his blood than his body needed.
  6. His blood sugar gradually rose into the pre-diabetic range.

Other Conditions — Development:

  1. His leaky gut, impaired liver detoxification, low detoxifying minerals and lack of periodic detoxification allowed toxins and heavy metals to accumulate throughout his body.
  2. Heavy metals displaced the iodine and selenium his thyroid depends on and exposed it to oxidative damage, inflaming the gland until uneven tissue growth formed a cyst that pressed on his throat — his choking sensations.
  3. Heavy metals are toxic to nerves and muscles: they sensitised his pain nerves and settled in his muscle tissue, causing widespread pain — fibromyalgia — while poisoning muscle mitochondria and protein building, wasting his muscles — muscular atrophy.
  4. Heavy metals are also toxic to the inner ear, damaging the hair cells of his cochlea, which fired false signals — tinnitus — and disturbing his balance organ — vertigo.
  5. His toxin-suppressed immune system failed to clear a chronic infection in his left middle ear, and the inflamed, weakened ear drum eventually ruptured.
  6. One accumulated toxic burden thus surfaced as seven seemingly unrelated conditions across his thyroid, muscles, nerves and ears.
◉ Essential-nutrients deficiency

What it is:

Essential nutrients are the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids the body cannot make for itself and must obtain from food. Every cell needs them to produce energy, repair damage, regulate hormones and defend against disease. A deficiency develops when intake is poor, absorption fails, or the body uses them up faster than they are replaced. Dr Lee found this patient deficient in key minerals, notably magnesium and selenium — in his own words, a bucket with a hole.

Sources/Triggers:

Nutrient-poor wheat-based diet, frequently skipped meals, high sugar intake depleting minerals, chronic stress, malabsorption from a leaky gut, mineral displacement by heavy metals, long-term pharmaceutical medications, absence of nutritional supplementation.

Mechanism:

Nutrients are the raw materials of every bodily process. Minerals such as magnesium and selenium act as cofactors for hundreds of enzymes, controlling energy production, heart rhythm, blood vessel tone, antioxidant defence and hormone production. When they run short, these processes slow down quietly, long before any test flags a disease. In this patient, a leaky gut let nutrients pass through unabsorbed, while toxins displaced the minerals he did absorb. Dr Lee's blood tests confirmed malnutrition and mineral deficiency.

Ischemic Heart Disease (2 Stents) — Development:

  1. A nutrient-poor, wheat-based diet, frequently skipped meals, high sugar intake, chronic stress and a leaky gut that absorbed poorly left him deficient in essential minerals, especially magnesium and selenium.
  2. Magnesium keeps artery walls relaxed and keeps calcium in its proper place; without enough of it, his arteries stayed constricted and calcium began depositing in his vessel walls.
  3. Selenium powers one of the body's main antioxidant enzymes; without it, free radicals went unchecked in his blood vessels.
  4. Unchecked oxidative stress damaged the endothelium of his coronary arteries and oxidised his LDL cholesterol.
  5. Lacking the vitamins, minerals and amino acids needed for repair, his damaged artery walls could not heal properly.
  6. Plaque built up at the sites of unrepaired damage, hardened by deposited calcium.
  7. Plaque narrowed three of his coronary arteries, two by more than 70%, until in 2019 the restricted blood flow caused a silent heart attack that required two stents.

Heart Failure — Development:

  1. His nutrient-poor diet, skipped meals, high sugar intake, chronic stress and poor gut absorption left him deficient in essential minerals and vitamins.
  2. The heart is the most energy-hungry muscle in the body, and its energy production depends on magnesium and B vitamins.
  3. Short of magnesium, his heart muscle cells generated less energy and contracted less forcefully.
  4. Selenium deficiency, a well-documented cause of weakened heart muscle, left his heart cells exposed to oxidative damage.
  5. Without enough amino acids and minerals, the damage from his 2019 heart attack could not be fully repaired.
  6. His heart muscle progressively weakened.
  7. His heart could no longer pump efficiently enough to meet his body's needs — heart failure.

High Cholesterol — Development:

  1. His nutrient-poor diet, skipped meals, high sugar intake and poor gut absorption left him deficient in essential minerals and vitamins.
  2. Magnesium regulates the liver enzyme that controls cholesterol production; with too little magnesium, that enzyme stayed overactive.
  3. His liver lacked vitamin C and the other cofactors it needs to convert cholesterol into bile acids for excretion.
  4. Low antioxidant reserves allowed his LDL cholesterol to oxidise, signalling damage throughout his blood vessels.
  5. His liver responded by producing still more cholesterol for repair.
  6. With production high and conversion low, his blood cholesterol climbed.

Pre-Diabetes — Development:

  1. His high sugar intake, nutrient-poor diet, chronic stress and poor gut absorption left him deficient in magnesium and other essential minerals.
  2. Magnesium is essential for insulin receptor signalling; with too little, his cells responded poorly to insulin — insulin resistance.
  3. Chromium and zinc, which insulin also depends on, were in short supply.
  4. His pancreas had to release more and more insulin to keep his blood sugar in check.
  5. His high sugar intake drained his magnesium further, creating a vicious cycle.
  6. His blood sugar gradually rose into the pre-diabetic range.

Other Conditions — Development:

  1. His nutrient-poor diet, skipped meals, high sugar intake, chronic stress and leaky gut left him deficient in essential minerals across his whole body.
  2. Short of iodine, his thyroid was stimulated to grow extra tissue to capture more of it, and short of selenium it lacked protection from oxidative damage; uneven growth formed a cyst that pressed on his throat — his choking sensations.
  3. Without enough magnesium his muscles could not fully relax and his nerves became over-excitable, causing widespread pain — fibromyalgia — while a shortfall of amino acids and minerals left his muscles unable to rebuild — muscular atrophy.
  4. Magnesium, zinc and antioxidants protect the delicate hair cells of the inner ear; without them, his cochlea fired false signals — tinnitus — and his balance organ was disturbed — vertigo.
  5. Low zinc, selenium and vitamin C weakened his immunity, allowing a chronic infection to settle in his left middle ear, and impaired the collagen repair of his ear drum until it ruptured.
  6. One root cause — a body quietly starved of essential nutrients — thus surfaced as seven seemingly unrelated conditions across his thyroid, muscles, nerves and ears.
◉ Hormonal imbalances

What it is:

Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, produced by glands such as the thyroid, adrenals and sex glands, and carried in the blood to control metabolism, energy, heart function, muscle mass, mood and repair. A hormonal imbalance arises when a gland produces too much or too little, or when cells stop responding properly. Because hormones regulate one another, a single imbalance quickly spreads to others. Dr Lee identified hormonal deficiency and imbalance in this patient at his first consultation.

Sources/Triggers:

Chronic mental stress, natural age-related hormonal decline, mineral deficiency (iodine, selenium, zinc, magnesium), heavy metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, gut dysbiosis, high sugar intake, long-term pharmaceutical medications.

Mechanism:

The endocrine system works like an orchestra: the thyroid sets the body's metabolic pace, the adrenal glands manage stress, and sex hormones maintain muscle, blood vessels and the heart. Each gland needs minerals to make its hormones and is easily disrupted by toxins and inflammation. In this patient, years of undue stress, mineral deficiency, heavy metals and gut-driven inflammation, on top of natural ageing, pushed his hormones out of balance. Dr Lee identified this at his first consultation.

Ischemic Heart Disease (2 Stents) — Development:

  1. Years of undue work stress, deficiency of iodine, selenium, zinc and magnesium, accumulated heavy metals, gut-driven inflammation and natural age-related decline pushed his hormones out of balance.
  2. Chronic stress kept his cortisol and adrenaline elevated, constricting his arteries and raising the strain on his heart.
  3. Low thyroid function slowed his metabolism, so his liver cleared LDL cholesterol more slowly and more of it circulated in his blood.
  4. Declining sex hormones, which help keep artery walls flexible and calm inflammation, left his blood vessel lining less protected.
  5. Stress hormones and inflammation together damaged the endothelium of his coronary arteries and made his blood more prone to clotting.
  6. Plaque built up steadily in his damaged arteries.
  7. Plaque narrowed three of his coronary arteries, two by more than 70%, until in 2019 the restricted blood flow caused a silent heart attack that required two stents.

Heart Failure — Development:

  1. Chronic stress, mineral deficiency, heavy metals, gut-driven inflammation and age-related decline pushed his hormones out of balance.
  2. Thyroid hormone sets the strength and pace of heart muscle contraction; with low thyroid function, his heart beat less forcefully.
  3. Persistently high stress hormones overworked his heart, raising its oxygen demand while his narrowed arteries limited the supply.
  4. Declining sex hormones reduced his heart muscle's ability to maintain and repair itself.
  5. The damage from his 2019 heart attack could not be fully repaired.
  6. Overworked and under-supported, his heart muscle steadily weakened.
  7. His heart could no longer pump efficiently enough to meet his body's needs — heart failure.

High Cholesterol — Development:

  1. Chronic stress, mineral deficiency, heavy metals, gut-driven inflammation and age-related decline pushed his hormones out of balance.
  2. Thyroid hormone controls the receptors on the liver that pull LDL cholesterol out of the blood; with low thyroid function, he had fewer of them.
  3. Chronically high cortisol pushed his liver to produce more cholesterol and fats.
  4. Declining sex hormones shifted his cholesterol balance further in the wrong direction.
  5. With clearance falling and production rising, cholesterol accumulated in his blood.
  6. His blood cholesterol climbed — unnoticed, because it had never been checked.

Pre-Diabetes — Development:

  1. Chronic stress, mineral deficiency, heavy metals, gut-driven inflammation and age-related decline pushed his hormones out of balance.
  2. Cortisol raises blood sugar by releasing stored glucose from the liver, and his was chronically elevated.
  3. Persistently high cortisol also made his cells resistant to insulin.
  4. Low thyroid function slowed the rate at which his cells used glucose.
  5. Declining sex hormones encouraged fat to build up around his organs, worsening his insulin resistance.
  6. His pancreas had to release more and more insulin to keep his blood sugar in check.
  7. His blood sugar gradually rose into the pre-diabetic range.

Other Conditions — Development:

  1. Chronic stress, mineral deficiency, heavy metals, gut-driven inflammation and age-related decline pushed his hormones out of balance.
  2. Starved of iodine and selenium, his thyroid was repeatedly stimulated to grow, and uneven tissue formed a cyst that pressed on his throat — his choking sensations — while his sluggish thyroid left him cold-intolerant and tired.
  3. High cortisol broke down his muscle while low thyroid and sex hormones slowed its rebuilding — muscular atrophy — and the same imbalance heightened his pain sensitivity and disturbed his sleep — fibromyalgia.
  4. The inner ear depends on thyroid hormone for normal function; the imbalance disturbed his hearing and balance organs, contributing to tinnitus and vertigo.
  5. Chronically high cortisol suppressed his immunity, allowing a chronic infection to persist in his left middle ear until his weakened ear drum ruptured.
  6. One hormonal imbalance thus surfaced as seven seemingly unrelated conditions across his thyroid, muscles, nerves and ears.

PHASE 2: TREATMENT

The primary objectives of the treatment:

  1. Clear (or reduce to the minimal) accumulated plaque from coronary arteries; and, open-up new collateral capillaries to restore normal blood-flow to the heart.
  1. Treat all the root causes to arterial plaque-formation.
  1. Optimise the condition and function of all organs.

No one therapy or treatment modality can achieve these objectives alone. An integration — a strategic combination — of various therapies is necessary. This is what is called an Integrative & Holistic Treatment — and one of its most powerful characteristics is that all of this patient’s conditions were treated simultaneously, inducing healing across the whole body rather than addressing each disease in isolation.

The following therapies were strategically integrated and administered to the patient:

✙ Detoxification Therapy

What it is:

Oral Detoxification & Chelation Therapy uses orally taken chelating agents, binders and liver-supporting nutrients that latch onto heavy metals and toxins and carry them out of the body through urine and stool. Detoxification supports the liver’s own clearance pathways, while chelation pulls out the heavy metals the body cannot break down on its own. It was introduced once Dr Lee’s follow-up reviews revealed the toxicity inflaming this patient’s blood vessels and heart.

Used for:

  • Binding and removing accumulated heavy metals from his blood, tissues and blood vessel walls.
  • Supporting the liver’s phase I and phase II detoxification pathways to clear chemical toxins.
  • Restoring healthy bile flow so that toxins and excess cholesterol are excreted through the gut.
  • Binding toxins within the gut so they are excreted rather than reabsorbed through his leaky gut lining.
  • Reducing the free radical load generated by heavy metals in his blood and tissues.
  • Freeing the binding sites of essential minerals — magnesium, zinc and selenium — displaced by heavy metals.
  • Removing endocrine-disrupting chemicals that interfere with thyroid and other hormone function.
  • Lowering the toxic burden on his kidneys’ filtration and excretion.

Effects:

  • Reduction in oxidative stress and inflammation in the walls of his coronary arteries, slowing the plaque formation behind his ischemic heart disease.
  • Restoration of endothelial function and arterial flexibility, improving blood flow through his narrowed coronary arteries.
  • Reduction in blood stickiness and clotting tendency, lowering the risk of further blockage in his coronary arteries.
  • Relief of the toxic burden on his heart muscle mitochondria, improving the energy and pumping strength of his failing heart.
  • Normalisation of liver function and cholesterol clearance, addressing his high cholesterol.
  • Protection of his pancreatic beta cells and improved insulin receptor signalling in his pre-diabetes.
  • Normalisation of thyroid function, supporting reduction of his thyroid cyst and cold intolerance.
  • Restoration of immune function to clear his chronic left middle-ear infection.

✙ Oral Nutrition therapy

What it is:

Oral Nutrition Therapy supplies the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants the body is deficient in, through carefully selected oral nutritional formulations. In this patient it included a mineral-rich formulation containing magnesium and selenium, combined with salt therapy using natural sea salt, bamboo salt and iodised salt to restore his depleted minerals and iodine. It worked hand in hand with healing his gut, so that what he took in was finally absorbed — patching the bucket before filling it.

Used for:

  • Replenishing magnesium, the mineral cofactor for energy production, heart rhythm and blood vessel relaxation.
  • Restoring selenium to power the antioxidant enzymes that neutralise free radicals and support detoxification.
  • Supplying iodine through iodised salt, and trace minerals through natural sea salt and bamboo salt, to restore mineral balance.
  • Providing the raw materials for thyroid, adrenal and sex hormone production.
  • Supporting repair of the gut lining so that nutrients are absorbed instead of leaking away.
  • Supplying amino acids, zinc and vitamin C for collagen synthesis and tissue repair in blood vessel walls, muscle and the ear drum.
  • Restoring the mineral cofactors of insulin signalling — magnesium, chromium and zinc.
  • Rebuilding the body’s antioxidant reserve to protect cells from oxidative damage.

Effects:

  • Relaxation and improved flexibility of his coronary arteries, and reduced calcium deposition in their walls, addressing his ischemic heart disease.
  • Repair of his damaged endothelium and prevention of new plaque formation in his coronary arteries.
  • Restoration of energy production and contractile strength in his heart muscle, addressing his heart failure, tiredness and breathlessness.
  • Normalisation of the liver’s cholesterol production and conversion, addressing his high cholesterol.
    Improvement in insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation in his pre-diabetes.
  • Normalisation of thyroid function and reduced thyroid stimulation, addressing his thyroid cyst, choking sensations and cold intolerance.
  • Relaxation of his muscles and calming of over-excited nerves, addressing his fibromyalgia, shoulder pain and sleep disturbances.
  • Rebuilding of muscle tissue in his muscular atrophy.

✙ Herbal Therapy

What it is:

Herbal Therapy uses carefully selected medicinal herbs, prescribed according to each patient’s individual condition, to support and restore the function of specific organs and systems. In this patient, Dr Lee prescribed herbs to support his heart and to help rebalance his hormones. Herbs act gently and in combination, which suits a patient whose conditions shared common roots across several organ systems.

Used for:

  • Supporting the energy production and contractile function of the heart muscle.
  • Improving circulation and microcirculation through the coronary arteries and small blood vessels.
  • Reducing inflammation in blood vessel walls and tissues.
  • Supporting the thyroid, adrenal and sex glands in restoring hormonal balance.
  • Moderating the stress-hormone response driven by years of undue stress.
  • Supporting liver detoxification and healthy bile flow.
  • Soothing the gut and supporting repair of the gut lining.
  • Supplying plant antioxidants that neutralise free radicals.

Effects:

  • Improved blood flow and reduced inflammation in his coronary arteries, addressing his ischemic heart disease.
  • Reduced blood stickiness, lowering the clotting tendency behind his heart attack.
  • Strengthening of heart muscle function in his heart failure, easing his breathlessness and tiredness.
  • Support of the liver’s cholesterol metabolism in his high cholesterol.
  • Improved blood sugar regulation, as his stress hormones settled, in his pre-diabetes.
  • Rebalancing of thyroid function, supporting his thyroid cyst and cold intolerance.
  • Reduced pain sensitivity and improved sleep in his fibromyalgia.
  • Support of muscle rebuilding in his muscular atrophy as his hormones rebalanced.
  • Reduced inflammation and improved immunity against his left middle-ear infection.

✙ Bio-identical hormone therapy

What it is:

Bio-identical Hormone Therapy restores deficient hormones using hormones that are molecularly identical to those the body makes naturally, so the body recognises and uses them as its own. Dosing is tailored to the patient’s blood results and adjusted at each review. In this patient, it corrected the hormonal deficiency and imbalance Dr Lee identified at his first consultation, alongside the nutrients his glands needed to resume their own production.

Used for:

  • Restoring deficient hormones to healthy levels.
    Re-establishing the balance between the thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones.
  • Supporting the hormonal regulation of metabolism and cellular energy production.
  • Restoring the hormonal signals that keep blood vessel walls flexible and free of inflammation.
  • Supporting the hormonal control of the liver’s cholesterol metabolism.
  • Restoring hormonal support for muscle protein building and tissue repair.
  • Moderating the effects of chronically elevated stress hormones.
  • Supporting the hormonal regulation of immunity and sleep.

Effects:

  • Improved flexibility and reduced inflammation of his coronary arteries, addressing his ischemic heart disease.
  • Restored contractile strength and repair capacity of his heart muscle in his heart failure.
  • Reduced strain on his heart as the effects of chronic stress hormones eased.
  • Improved liver clearance of LDL cholesterol in his high cholesterol.
  • Improved insulin sensitivity and reduced fat build-up around his organs in his pre-diabetes.
  • Normalised thyroid regulation, addressing his thyroid cyst and cold intolerance.
  • Restored muscle building in his muscular atrophy.
    Reduced pain sensitivity and improved sleep quality in his fibromyalgia.
  • Support of normal inner-ear function in his tinnitus and vertigo.

✙ Wholesome Food therapy

What it is:

Wholesome Food Therapy uses food itself as medicine, through a personalised food prescription that removes the foods driving disease and adds functional foods that help the body heal. For this patient, that meant a strictly gluten- and wheat-free diet close to a paleolithic style, low in sugar, with regular meals and functional foods prescribed by Dr Lee. His daily food charting allowed Dr Lee to fine-tune the prescription at every review.

Used for:

  • Removing gluten, the trigger that kept opening the tight junctions of his gut lining.
  • Cutting refined sugar to starve harmful gut bacteria and steady his blood sugar and insulin.
  • Supplying fibre and natural foods that feed beneficial gut bacteria and restore a healthy, less acidic gut environment.
  • Allowing the gut lining to seal and heal by removing the constant irritation of trigger foods.
  • Providing nutrient-dense whole foods to replenish vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
  • Reducing his intake of food-borne toxins, additives and preservatives.
  • Establishing regular meals to steady blood sugar and reduce stress-hormone surges.
  • Supplying functional foods rich in natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.

Effects:

  • Reduction in the gut-driven inflammation damaging his coronary arteries, slowing the progression of his ischemic heart disease.
  • Less sticky blood and a lower clotting tendency, protecting his coronary arteries and stents.
  • Reduced inflammatory burden on his heart muscle in his heart failure.
  • Restoration of healthy bile flow and cholesterol metabolism, addressing his high cholesterol.
  • Steadier blood sugar and improved insulin sensitivity in his pre-diabetes.
  • Restored nutrient absorption, supplying the iodine and selenium his thyroid needs, addressing his thyroid cyst.
  • Reduced nerve sensitisation in his fibromyalgia, and a better protein supply for rebuilding the muscle lost to atrophy.
  • Reduced inflammation of the small blood vessels feeding his inner ear, addressing his tinnitus and vertigo.
  • Restored gut immunity, strengthening his defence against his left middle-ear infection.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
FOR DISEASE & TREATMENT

Dr Lee's Foundational Principles for understanding
how diseases happen, and how to treat any disease.

Dr Lee's Foundational Principles for understanding how disease happens, and how to treat any disease.

PRINCIPLES FOR DISEASE

DISEASE PRINCIPLE 1

An unhealthy condition in any one or more of the major organs is the cause to all disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality.

(i.e. All disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality, are just consequential effects of any one or more of the major organs being in an unhealthy condition.)

When all the major organs in an individual are in a healthy condition, the entire body system works well and one feels totally healthy and has no disease symptoms, no aches, no pains, and has vitality.

And on the other hand, when any one or more of the internal major organs transforms from a healthy condition to an unhealthy condition, it directly results into one experiencing disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, and lowered vitality.

The various unhealthy conditions that the major organs can have are: mucus accumulation, acidosis, disbiosys, infection, hypertrophy, hypotrophy, inflammation, fat saturation, crystallisation (stones), plaque formation & accumulation, blood clots, fibrosis, cirrhosis, cancer, degeneration, rupture/trauma, and organ-failure. When a major organ has any one or more of these unhealthy conditions, it directly results in symptoms – aches, pains & lowered vitality.

The following graphic illustrates this principle:

Cause
Unhealthy Major Organs

One or more major organ transformed into an unhealthy condition.

Effect
Disease Symptoms

The individual experiences disease symptoms, aches, pains , discomforts, & lowered vitality.

Cause
Unhealthy Major Organs

One or more major organ transformed into an unhealthy condition.

Effect
Disease Symptoms

The individual experiences disease symptoms, aches, pains , discomforts, & lowered vitality.

Examples:

  • Gut disbiosys/acidosis is a unhealthy condition in the gut, which results in symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.

  • Fatty liver is an unhealthy condition in the liver, which results in symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.

  • Heart atherosclerosis is an unhealthy condition in the heart in which plaque accumulates and blocks the heart arteries, which results in symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.

  • Bronchitis is an unhealthy condition in the lungs, which results in symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

DISEASE PRINCIPLE 2

An abnormal state in one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health*, is the Root Cause to all unhealthy conditions in major organs.

(i.e. all unhealthy conditions in major organs are just consequential effects of an abnormal state in any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health*.)

The major organs do to change to an unhealthy condition magically; something else abnormal needs to happen in the body first, which then causes the major organs to change into an abnormal condition. Those abnormalities that happen first are within a set of ten foundational factors that Dr Lee calls 10 Pillars of Health.

Dr Lee calls these factors 10 Pillars of Health because these are the ten foundational factors that govern the condition & function of all major organs, and thereby the foundational factors that govern the overall health of the individual.

Here are the 10 Pillars of Health:

  • 1
    Gut health, Nutrition, Diet
  • 2
    Toxicity & Environment
  • 3
    Blood & Lymph Circulation
  • 4
    Brain & Nerve Regulation
  • 5
    Hormone Levels
  • 6
    Base-cell Levels
  • 7
    Mitochondrial Energy
  • 8
    Genetics & Epigenetic
  • 9
    Mental & Emotional Status
  • 10
    Physical Activity & Lifestyle

When any one or more of these 10 Pillars of Health* are in an abnormal state, it directly results in unhealthy conditions in one or more of the major organs, and then consequentially results in disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, & lowered vitality.

Specifically that means, the root causes to abnormal conditions in all major organs, is any one or more of these: (1) Bad food diet, lack of essential nutrition, bad gut environment (2) Too much internal toxicity, & highly toxic external environment; (3) Poor blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Abnormal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Hormonal imbalances; (6) Low base-cell* levels; (7) Abnormal mitochondrial function; (8) Abnormal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Stressed state of mind & emotions; (10) Poor physical activity & lifestyle. When you have any one or more of these 10 Pillars in an abnormal state per described here, the natural consequence is good health.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in an Abnormal State
Root Cause
10 Pillars of Health Abnormal

Any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health changed to an abnormal state.

Cause
Unhealthy Major Organs

One or more major organ transformed into an unhealthy condition.

Effect
Disease Symptoms

The individual experiences disease symptoms - aches, pains & lowered vitality.

Root Cause
10 Pillars of Health Abnormal

Any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health changed to an abnormal state.

Cause
Unhealthy Major Organs

One or more major organ transformed into an unhealthy condition.

Effect
Disease Symptoms

The individual experiences disease symptoms - aches, pains & lowered vitality.

For example, when any one or more of the 10 Pillars are in an abnormal state, it results in:

  • Unhealthy Gut condition of disbiosys/acidosis, and thereby results in symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.

  • Unhealthy Liver condition of fatty liver, and thereby results in symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.

  • Unhealthy Heart condition of atherosclerosis, and thereby results in symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.

  • Unhealthy Lung condition of
    bronchitis, and thereby results in symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

PRINCIPLES FOR TREATMENT

TREATMENT PRINCIPLE 1

Restoring all major organs to their healthy condition, results in resolving all symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality.

(i.e. Normal health & vitality is just a consequential effect of all major organs being restored to their healthy condition.)

As explained above under ‘Principles for Disease’, when any one or more of the major organs transforms from a healthy to an unhealthy condition, it directly results in symptoms – aches, pains, & lowered vitality.

And on the other hand, when all the major organs in an individual are in a healthy condition, the entire body system works well and one feels totally healthy and has no symptoms – no aches, no pains, & vitality.

Therefore in the context of effectively treating diseases, all diseases can be effectively treated, simply by restoring all unhealthy major organs from an unhealthy condition to their healthy condition, which then results in resolving all disease symptoms, aches, pains, & discomforts, & and restoring vitality.

The following graphic illustrates this principle:

Cause
Major Organs Healthy

The condition of all major organs restored to their healthy condition, and function properly.

Effect
Diseases Resolved

The individual experiences good health - no disease symptoms, no aches & pains, and restored vitality.

Cause
Major Organs Healthy

The condition of all major organs restored to their healthy condition, and function properly.

Effect
Diseases Resolved

The individual experiences good health - no disease symptoms, no aches & pains, and restored vitality.

Examples:

  • When the Gut is normalised from disbiosys/acidosis, i.e. restored from an unhealthy disbiosys/acidosis condition to its healthy condition, it results in resolving symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • When the Liver is normalised from fatty-liver, i.e. restored from an unhealthy fatty-liver condition to its healthy condition, it results in resolving symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.
  • When the Heart is normalised from atherosclerosis, i.e. restored from an unhealthy atherosclerosis condition to its normal condition, it results in resolving symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • When the Lungs are normalised from bronchitis, i.e. restored from an unhealthy bronchitis condition to its healthy condition, it results in resolving symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

TREATMENT PRINCIPLE 2

Normalising all 10 Pillars of Health*, results in restoring all major organs to their healthy condition.

(i.e. normal conditions in all major organs is a consequential effect of normal states in all the 10 Pillars of Health*.)

As explained above under ‘Principles for Disease’, when any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health transforms from its normal state to an abnormal state, it directly results in a transformation of one or more major organs from their healthy condition to an unhealthy condition.

And on the other hand, when all the 10 Pillars of Health are normalised, it directly results into a restoration of all major organs from any unhealthy condition to their healthy condition.

Therefore in the context of effectively treating diseases, all diseases can be effectively treated simply by restoring all 10 Pillars of Health to their normal states, which then results in all major organs being restored to their healthy condition, and consequentially results in resolving all disease symptoms, aches, pains, & discomforts, and restoring vitality.

Normalising all 10 Pillars of Health specifically means thus: (1) Wholesome food diet, full spectrum nutrition, clean & healthy gut; (2) Minimal internal toxicity, non-toxic external environment; (3) Normal blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Normal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Normal hormonal levels; (6) Healthy base-cell* levels; (7) Normal mitochondrial function; (8) Normal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Normal state of mind & emotions; (10) Normal physical activity & lifestyle. When you have all 10 Pillars normalised per this manner, the natural consequence is good health.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in their Normal State
Root Cause
10 Pillars of Health Normal

All the 10 Pillars of Health restored to their normal state.

Cause
Major Organs Healthy

All major organs restored to their healthy condition.

Effect
Diseases Resolved

No disease symptoms, no aches & pains, restored vitality.

Root Cause
10 Pillars of Health Normal

All the 10 Pillars of Health restored to their normal state.

Cause
Major Organs Healthy

All major organs restored to their healthy condition.

Effect
Diseases Resolved

No disease symptoms, no aches & pains, restored vitality.

For example, when all 10 Pillars are normalised, it results in:

  • Normalising the Gut from disbiosys/acidosis, i.e. the gut is restored from an unhealthy disbiosys/acidosis condition to its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Normalising the Liver from fatty-liver, i.e. the liver is restored from an unhealthy fatty-liver condition to its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • Normalising the Heart from atherosclerosis, i.e. the heart is restored from an unhealthy atherosclerosis condition to its normal condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Normalising the Lungs from bronchitis, i.e. the lungs are restored from an unhealthy bronchitis condition to its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

PRINCIPLE FOR RECURRENCE PREVENTION & OPTIMAL HEALTH

Optimising all 10 Pillars of Health*, results in optimising the condition & function in all major organs, and thereby results in preventing recurrence of past diseases and occurrences of any other chronic disease in the future, ultimately resulting in long-term optimal health & high quality of life.

As explained above, good health is natural effect of normal states in all the 10 Pillars of Health*; and, disease is a natural effect of an abnormal state in any one or more of these 10 Pillars of Health*.

And now to logically add to that principle, optimal health & long-term wellbeing (no recurrences of past diseases, and no occurrences of other diseases) is a natural effect of improving all 10 Pillars of Health* to their optimal state.

When all the 10 Pillars of Health* are optimised, then all major organs further improve to their optimal condition & function, and thereby recurrences of past diseases and occurrences of other diseases are prevented, and one can experience on-going optimal health, long-term wellbeing, and a high quality of life.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in their Optimal State
Root Cause
10 Pillars of Health Optimal

All the 10 Pillars of Health improved to their optimal state.

Cause
Major Organs Optimal

All major organs improved to their optimal condition.

Effect
Recurrences Prevented

Optimal health, wellbeing, high quality of life.

Root Cause
10 Pillars of Health Optimal

All the 10 Pillars of Health improved to their optimal state.

Cause
Major Organs Optimal

All major organs improved to their optimal condition.

Effect
Recurrences Prevented

Optimal health, wellbeing, high quality of life.

For example, when all 10 Pillars are optimised, it results in:

  • Optimising the condition in the Gut, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Gut and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Liver, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Liver and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Heart, and thereby consequentially results in preventing preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Heart and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Lungs, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Lungs and thereby preventing recurrences of  symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

CONCLUSIVE PRINCIPLES

CONCLUSIVE PRINCIPLE 1

Therefore, diseases can effectively treated only by doing these three necessary steps:
RESTORE MAJOR ORGANS TO HEALTHY CONDITION

Treat the causes to the patient’s disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, & lowered vitality (Unhealthy conditions in major organs are the cause to disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality).

Treat the causes to the patient’s disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, & lowered vitality (Unhealthy conditions in major organs are the cause to disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality).

NORMALISE ALL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH

Treat the root causes to the unhealthy conditions in the patient’s major organs, and thereby induce holistic healing (Abnormal states in 10 Pillars of Health are the root cause to unhealthy conditions in major organs).

Treat the root causes to the unhealthy conditions in the patient’s major organs, and thereby induce holistic healing (Abnormal states in 10 Pillars of Health are the root cause to unhealthy conditions in major organs).

OPTIMISE ALL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH

Optimise the condition & function of the patient’s every major organ, optimise immunity, and thereby prevent disease recurrences, and induce optimal health & high quality of life.

Optimise the condition & function of the patient’s every major organ, optimise immunity, and thereby prevent disease recurrences, and induce optimal health & high quality of life.

Doing the above 3 necessary steps is the only way to achieve holistic healing, recurrence prevention, and long-term wellbeing.

CONCLUSIVE PRINCIPLE 2

Therefore, Integrated & Holistic Treatment is the only way toward holistic healing, recurrence prevention, and long-term wellbeing.

As established above under ‘Conclusive Principle 1’, effective treatment of any disease can only be achieved by these 3 necessary steps: (1) Normalise the condition of the diseased major organ, (2) Normalise all 10 Pillars of Health*, and thereby treat the Root Causes to any unhealthy condition in all major organs, and (3) Optimise the condition & function in all major organs by optimising all the 10 Pillars of Health*.

No one therapy or treatment modality can help complete all three necessary steps; an integration (combination) of various therapies is necessary for this.

Therefore Integrated & Holistic Treatment is necessary, and is the only way toward effective treatment of any disease.

The following graphic illustrates this conclusive principle:

Integrated & Holistic Treatment
is the strategic integration of multiple therapies
for achieving holistic healing, recurrence prevention
and long-term optimal-health & well-being.

And healthy conditions in all other organs too, and thereby cumulatively results in one experiencing good health & good vitality.

ABNORMAL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH ➨ DISEASE

When any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health* are in an abnormal state, it results in an unhealthy condition & function in one or more organs, and thereby results in disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, and lowered vitality. (i.e. All diseases & lowered vitality are just consequential effects of any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health being in an abnormal state.)

10 Pillars of Health in an Abnormal State means thus: (1) Bad food diet, lack of essential nutrition, bad gut environment (2) Too much internal toxicity, & highly toxic external environment; (3) Poor blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Abnormal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Hormonal imbalances; (6) Low base-cell* levels; (7) Abnormal mitochondrial function; (8) Abnormal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Stressed state of mind & emotions; (10) Poor physical activity & lifestyle.

  • Unhealthy Liver condition such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, etc. and thereby results in symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.
  • Unhealthy Heart condition such as coronary artery atherosclerosis, and thereby results in symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Unhealthy Lung condition such as
    bronchitis, and thereby results in symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.


And unhealthy conditions in other organs too, and thereby cumulatively results in one experiencing disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, and lowered vitality.

OPTIMAL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH ➨ OPTIMAL HEALTH

When all the 10 Pillars of Health* are in their optimal state, it results in all organs being in their optimal condition and functioning at their optimal levels, optimal immunity, and thereby results in preventing recurrences of past diseases, preventing occurrences of any potential future diseases, optimal vitality, and ultimately into optimal health & high quality of life long-term. (i.e. Disease-free life, optimal health, optimal vitality, and high quality of life long-term are just consequential effects of all the 10 Pillars of Health being in their optimal state.)

For example, when all 10 Pillars are optimised, it results in:

  • Optimising the condition in the Gut, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Gut and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms such as gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Liver, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Liver and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms such as abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Heart, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Heart and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Lungs, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Lungs and thereby preventing recurrences of  symptoms such as cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.
TREATMENT EXECUTION PROCESS

PHASE 3: MAINTENANCE

Integrated & Holistic Wellness

Objectives for Maintenance:

The last thing a patient would want after regaining his health (after his/her treatment in Heal Within®), is to experience a recurrence of that disease or an occurrence of another chronic disease in the future; which would certainly be the case if the patient goes back to the same lifestyle patterns that caused the environment around organ-cells to turn unhealthy and thereby resulted in disease.

Therefore, the objectives of this Phase 3 Maintenance are:

  1. Help the patient maintain a healthy lifestyle, by helping them adhere to a healthy lifestyle plan.

  2. Periodically monitor the patient’s condition by medical tests to make sure he/she is still healthy and immune against any chronic disease.

So to cumulatively help the patient experience optimal health & high quality of life long-term.

Contents in Maintenance:

1: Healthy lifestyle plan

Here, doctor tailors a healthy lifestyle plan for the patient to adhere to. This plan comprises of the following:

Following are the tests used for on-going monitoring:

  1. Live Blood Analysis
  2. Dry Blood Analysis
  3. 12 Internal Organs Scan by Digital Meridian Analysis
  4. Heart Variability Test
  5. ECG Test

PHASE 2: TREATMENT

Integrated & Holistic Treatment

Objectives for Treatment:

While the purpose of treatment could seem obvious, it is necessary to recall the objective purpose of the treatment, which are the 3 Primary Objectives (already written & explained earlier in the web-page). To help you recall, following are the 3 Primary Objectives of the treatment in Heal Within®:

  1. Treat all unhealthy conditions in diseased organs (ex. clear plaque from heart arteries, shrink & dissolve cancer-tumours, dissolve & flush-out crystallised stones from kidneys, etc.)
  1. Treat the root causes to the unhealthy conditions in diseased-organs (ex. treat the root causes to plaque formation in heart arteries, cancer-tumours in liver, stones in kidneys, etc.)
  1. Optimise the condition & function of all organs, so to prevent recurrences of past diseases, and prevent occurrence of any other potential chronic disease in the future.

Doing the above 3 necessary steps is the only way to achieve holistic healing, recurrence prevention, and optimal health & high quality of life long-term.

TREATMENT EXECUTION PROCESS

PHASE 1: DIAGNOSIS

Integrated & Holistic Diagnosis

Objective for Diagnosis:

Our treatment plan is tailored to each patient based on each patient’s body condition. The primary objective for diagnosis is to determine each patient’s current body condition and by this to then tailor the most effective & efficient treatment plan for each patient.

Data Collected for Diagnosis:

  1. The patient’s medical history: Genesis & progression of diseases, medications  & other treatments used in the past, allergies, diet patterns, sleep habits, exercise habits, supplements used, etc.
  1. Vitality Factors: The patient’s current levels in energy, body & limb mobility, digestion & bowel movement, mental & emotional state, sleep, sexual function, skin complexion, and immunity.
  1. Symptoms: Symptoms are primarily aches, pains & discomforts experienced by the patient, and external-physical-body changes seen in the patient.
  1. Conditions in major organs: Specific abnormal conditions (if any) in the stomach, spleen, gut, colon, liver, gallbladder, heart, lungs, brain, nerves, blood vessels & blood, lymph vessels & lymph, bones & joints, and muscles.
  1. Causes to abnormal conditions in organs: (1) Toxins – organic / inorganic / heavy-metals (2) Acids of food-fermentation from gut (3) Infectious agents – bacteria / viruses (4) Metabolic acids above homeostatic-threshold (5) Lack of essential nutrients; (6) Lack of oxygen (7) Hormonal imbalances (8) High sugar level (9) Low white blood cells levels (10) EMF disturbances from external environment.
  1. Existence of 10 Primary Abnormalities: (1) Gut disbiosys from a toxic-diet; (2) Heavy metals dental fillings; (3) Bad external environment at home or work; (4) Nutrition-deficient diet; (5) Lack of muscular-skeletal motion resulting into poor blood circulation; (6) Lack of muscular-skeletal motion resulting into poor lymph circulation; (7) Abnormal brain & nerve regulation; (8) Mitochondrial dysfunction; (9) Sympathetic overdrive from a chronic stressed state of mind; (10) Genetic organ disorders.

Diagnosis Procedure:

(what happens in the centre during phase 1 diagnosis.)

To determine the above 5 things, the designated medical doctor gathers a complete detailed record of the patient’s medical history, and then conducts a series of specialised medical tests. Then, based on the results of the medical history analysis & medical tests, he tailors the most effective treatment plan.

Part 1: Medical data gathering:

Here, the dedicated nurse conducts a very comprehensive verbal introspection with the patient to record the patient’s medical history, vitality factors, and symptoms; which includes – patient’s past diseases, past medications, present diseases, present medications, allergies, diet patterns, sleep habits, exercise habits, supplements used, etc.

Part 2: Diagnostic tests:

Preliminary tests:

  1. Live Blood Analysis
  2. Dry Blood Analysis
  3. 12 Internal Organs Scan by Digital Meridian Analysis
  4. Body Composition Analysis
  5. Pulse Rate Analysis
  6. Urine Dipstick
  7. Saliva Test
  8. Free Radical Urine Test
  9. Dental Evaluation & Oral Examination

Advanced tests: 

  1. Total Blood Chemistry Test
  2. Heart Variability Test
  3. Toxicology Test
  4. Nutritional Status Test
  5. Hormonal Profile Test
  6. Stool Test
  7. ECG Test
  8. Ultrasound Test
  9. Other specific advanced tests (done through 3rd party service providers)
Part 3: Detailed analysis of test results:
In this part, the doctor will analyse all patient’s medical history, vitality factors, symptoms gathered in part 1 together with all results of tests done in part 2.
Part 4: Treatment plan tailoring & explanation:
In this part, the doctor consults the patient, explains the patient’s condition per his analysis done in part 3, and then tailors the treatment plan.
Part 5: Treatment plan execution schedule:

In this last part, the dedicated nurse helps schedule the treatment execution (dates/time on which each therapy of the treatment needs to be administered) and coaches the patient on the details.

The dedicated nurse is available to the patient for questions & doubts anytime during the entire treatment duration.
