It is important that you come to care with right-sized expectations.

Let me begin by saying I am not a magician.

You have had health care problems for years, or decades, and have sought help from many people.

You are disappointed and frustrated because you have tried very hard for a very long time to find health.

This health history shows me two things:

1) You are valient

2) You have a complex case that does not respond well to traditional intervention.

I want to help you, but also, I see that because you are a complex case, it will take time to work you up and figure out what is going on.

You probably have multiple systems involved and multiple conditions.

We can figure this out, but it will take more than 1 day.

With complex cases like yours, we need to have a global approach.

Generally complex cases take 20 hours of manual therapy and 5 hours of internal medicine.

If we go too fast, you could have a healing crisis called a herxheimer reaction or “herxing”.

That means you have exceeded your metabolic capacity and your detoxification system’s competence for removing toxins.

A herxing response does not mean the treatment is bad.

It means the treatment is going too fast for your body, or that your body needs additional support.

Be patient with yourself as you heal.

We can go at a speed that is right for you and your body.
