Another NOVEMBER STORY: NY Teen REVERSED her AIH…but not completely…
The mom and teen prefer to remain anonymous…but she has improved by 70-90%. Please read her story and educate yourself:
I wouldn’t say that my daughter is cured or healed of her autoimmune hepatitis. She is still on a journey toward health. I would, however, say that my daughter and our family are much wiser and educated about her disease and much more sure of the path she (we) have chosen to heal her. When my then 14-year-old daughter was first diagnosed with auto immune hepatitis nearly three years ago, after months of headaches and fatigue, we ran to the best specialists we knew sure that they could provide us with the answers. What we didn’t realize is that their pathway to health was not good enough. It was a life of immunosuppressants and steroids. The steroids caused all kinds of side effects including mood swings, irritability, weight gain and brain fogginess. The immunosuppressants, by their very nature of suppressing the immune system, open the door to countless other terrible illnesses and diseases.

We didn’t blindly follow the doctors, sure they knew the answers, but we did try it their way – for a while anyway. Then we learned that there is a whole population out there suffering from autoimmune hepatitis who have found a different road to health – one that requires less strong medications and more life style changes supported by supplements and vitamins.

My husband and I researched auto immune hepatitis. We had the good fortune of finding Dr. Burt Berkson and his Integrative Medical Center in New Mexico and read about his success treating liver disease with Alpha Lipoic Acid. We were lucky enough to find Denise Otten and her book Curing Courtney in which Denise details the protocol that lead to her daughter’s good health. We found Susan Blum, MD, MPH, author of The Immune System Recovery Plan and read about her roadmap to recovery. We devoured Lee Holmes book Super Foods Eat Your Way To Good Health. These individuals guided us. Most importantly, we learned, through them, not be afraid to challenge the medical community, its diagnosis and treatment. When we asked one very prominent, arrogant doctor early on whether diet had anything to do with our daughter’s illness, he responded curtly “Diet has nothing to do with it.” Fortunately, we’ve learned that diet has everything to do with disease – and even more to do with a cure. For us, diet, vitamins, supplements and life style changes have gotten my daughter closer to normal blood test results and good health. We are not there yet, but we can finally see the light.

We are eternally grateful to Denise Otten and all of those individuals who have unselfishly offered us their help and guidance along the way. I am sure if you looked closely, you could see their angel wings.

Beautiful 40-something Mom from Kentucky REVERSED HER AIH-Naturally!!!
This after reading CURING COURTNEY ..and finding her own Natropath doctor locally. The Heartland of America is catching on! The doctors once thought she’d need a transplant…look at her now! Please read her story and be inspired to research for yourself.
In March I had toxic Hepatitis due to a reaction from antibiotics. The toxic Hepatitis went into Autoimmune Hepatitis. I was severely jaundiced. My liver levels were sky high. When I first came down with Hepatitis and they were not sure what the cause was, I found your book, CURING COURTNEY while searching the web. I ordered the book and read it in one day. I began following your healing protocol. I saw a local iridologist who had me do a juice cleansing and started additional herbs. I was referred to a naturopath doctor who started foot detoxes. I did 3 per week, and started taking Burdock Root and Black Root in addition to the other herbs/supplements. My levels started going down. I was seeing a local specialist to get blood levels checked. They referred me to specialist at the local University . I could not get in until June. My levels had consistently lowered since March (except for one time). My June blood work showed the levels were coming on down. My original doctor told me it would probably be a year before they would level out and before I would go into remission. In July I had my next blood work. Guess what? My levels were all normal. I was in remission. I started weaning off of the steroids at the beginning of August. My next doctor appointment was in October. All levels are in normal range. I told the doctor I was following a holistic approach. I am so thankful that I found your book!!! You made a difference in my life!!

The AIH FACE of OCTOBER- Jessica …HEALED via the Antioxidant Protocol described in “CURING COURTNEY.” A mom of 4 from the South..she wanted to find an answer so she could be a healthy, vibrant mom to her children. Listen to what Jessica says about how she did it! It’s not just the small children who are contracting this…it’s adults too! This protocol CAN HELP REVERSE MANY LIVER DISEASES.
“I was a picture of health…so I thought. My children range from ages 3 to 11, so you can imagine how busy I am. I truly believed I was in the shape of my life working out with a trainer for 3 years, 3x a week and a “healthy diet”…so I thought. Then one morning I woke up with the whites of my eyes yellow. My whole body was jaundiced. I was feeling horrible and a bit dehydrated. Luckily my best friend, Dr. Renee Lopez is a Maximized Living Chiropractor. She did labs the next day and discovered my AST/ALT were in the 3000 range! When we found out that it was AIH, she immediately put me on dozens of vitamins and changed my diet drastically. It wasn’t so hard to give up the wine…but it was nearly impossible to give up the WHEAT I loved so much. During my own research, I came across the video Denise posted about CURING COURTNEY. I contacted her on Facebook and cried while asking her to help me ..being a mother of four I could not let this disease kill me. After we read the book and Denise spoke with Dr. Renee Lopez, Denise suggested that we tweak a few things in the doctors protocol. Within a few months I started feeling better than before and with the help of the doctor was able to wean off my meds! If you know someone dealing with an autoimmune disorder, please refer them to CURING COURTNEY. It could save their life. It did mine. We have to heal our gut…and take supplements that help our body improve our immune system. I changed the way I ate and my family as well. I feel a passion for helping people heal their bodies of their autoimmune diseases. So thanks again, Denise, for your help.
And if you’re in Alabama, you can contact Dr. Renee Lopez for a consultation.
