Scarlett Nichole Saved her own Life..and beat Lupus! She’s healed now because of the CURING COURTNEY diet & vitamins. Read her story and contact me if you need help.
Nichole’s LUPUS IS GONE via the CURING COURTNEY protocol! YES, I SAID LUPUS!!! (And her APLS is gone too)! This Southern Beauty, Miss Scarlett Nichole, was searching for an holistic cure for LUPUS when our dear friend Jessica told her to read CURING COURTNEY and start the protocol ASAP. I never met Nichole until she wrote and said THANKS FOR WRITING YOUR BOOK…I’ve REVERSED my Lupus and the doctors can’t believe it!
Here’s her story in her own words:…
I was introduced to your book and friended you at the encouragement of my friend Jessica Miner. I have Lupus and Anti-phospholipid Antibody Syndrome. I have had this for 9 years. Before reading your book, I had learned I had a gluten sensitivity and decided to go G-free. While I had noticed an improvement in digestion and energy, not much else had changed. So, with lots of research, reading about your journey with your daughter, and a whole lot of prayer, I took a leap of faith and completely changed my diet. I incorporated lots of supplements, reduced my sugar intake, omitted most processed foods as well as foods that cause inflammation. I learned 7 wks ago that I am pregnant with our third child. Seeing that I am 39 with an unplanned pregnancy and and auto-immune disease, one of which could be detrimental to the baby, I was scared to death. I have a fabulous team of specialist, one being a rheumatologist who supports my healthy lifestyle, but doesn’t mind telling me “there is no scientific evidence to back my protocol”. He along with my OB ran lots of blood tests to see where my levels for anti-phospholipids, lupus and all the other stuff they check, we’re currently at. To everyone’s surprise,( even mine), I am negative across the board! No sign of anything! And I will not have to take any blood thinners whatsoever! My rheumatologist is shocked! He told me to continue what I am doing because it is working. My OB is happy and relieved. And I, well I’m just elated! I want to share this with you bc I would love your readers to know that a diet like you recommend and supplements help not just AIH patients, but other autoimmune sufferers as well. Thank you for sharing your journey and giving me a place to start. God Bless!

Gorgeous Hannah (21-yrs-old), HEALED HER AIH! They say New Yorkers are a tough breed….well here’s an Ohio born Beauty who should not be messed with. The doctors told her she’d be on meds for life…or worse. She refused to believe it and fought them until she found CURING COURTNEY…Then healed!
Here’s her story IN HER OWN WORDS. I love this girl’s spunk!!!
In June 2014 I noticed that I had yellow in the whites of my eyes. I didn’t think to much of it . Then weeks later I started to have a lot of joint pain, so I went to Urgent Care and they said I sprained my knee. But the next day the pain was in the other knee and my fingers were sticking together. As a college student in the medical community, I didn’t have time for this so I blew it off. Then one day I came home for lunch & my mom freaked out because she said it looked like my eyes were glowing. She rushed me to the hospital and they found that my liver levels were in the 1300 area. They said my gall bladder was likely blocked and sent me to the largest University hospital in our area for more evaluation. After many more tests and a liver biopsy, those doctors said I had AIH. wink emoticon
That’s when my research began, and all of the information was the same. Meds for the rest of my life! Good lord I was not doing that!! I was so upset but started taking the 3mg of budesonide as prescribed, and tests often. But I hate meds. So I looked up AIH on YouTube and low and behold, up pops this book “Curing Courtney”. My mom ordered it immediately and I read it quickly to find out what vitamins Denise put Courtney on. After I finished the book and talked to my mom about it, we didn’t know what to do next. So Mom emailed Denise the next day. And she hired her right away so I could get started on the right diet and vitamin protocol. I was ready to get rid of this hepatitis and these horrible meds.
I told my doctor at the next appointment what I was doing and this is where it got interesting. He didn’t think t would work, but he promised he would wean me off meds when my ast/alt levels were normal. I continued to take both meds and vitamins for a couple months until my liver levels were normal.
When I returned to the doctor to start the weaning,…I was in for a rude awakening. The doctor proceeded to tell me about the NEW MEDS he was putting me on next. Mind you, I went to this visit by myself because my mom couldn’t make it.
When I told the doctor I refused to take the new medicine because I was expecting him to wean me OFF the budesonide, NOT GIVE ME MORE DRUGS….he told me all this ‘bs’ about how I would die in FIVE years and he was just looking out for me. I told him I understood but I want to try it my way first.
He said he refused to wean me off the meds. And after several minutes of arguing, I asked him why did he tell me at our last appointment that he would wean me?
He denied ever saying that! That’s when I lost my temper. I was just so pissed that I stood up and got in his face told him “I wasn’t taking his filthy meds all he was trying to do is push meds.”
I walk out and called Denise to tell her what happened. I was screaming so loud into the phone that she had to talk me down because I was about to whoop some old man up and down this hospital.
A few weeks later I asked our family doctor to wean me off the meds…and he said no! That’s when I made up my mind to wean myself. I knew it was risky, but I didn’t give a crap l!!! So I finally weaned off the meds and as of March 2015 I’ve been drug free only staying on the gluten free and dairy free diet (well for the most part dairy free) and taking the vitamins. My liver levels have stayed in a normal range and I haven’t felt better.
I have to thank Denise for that because without her, I would still be on meds getting fat and hairy ewww. THANK YOU DENISE!!!��

6-yr-old Australian girl is AIH free for the 1st time in 2.5 years!! Her parents reversed her AIH/PSC & Ulcerative colitis, NATURALLY! The doctors said she’d need a transplant. They were WRONG! With vitamins she healed in 1 year! While the parents must remain anonymous, this story will make you smile!
You CAN reverse many AI diseases with vitamins & diet. THIS IS HER DAD’S STORY:
Seeing your child chronically ill with an “incurable disease” is a devastating and soul destroying experience that no parent should have to endure. However, bringing them back to health is the most rewarding, uplifting & powerful feeling. To buck the trends of mainstream medical, expert advice for a chance to heal your child is fraught with danger. We live in a time where the system does not allow the patient to seek alternative methods healing. In Australia, the medical community will take away your child if you don’t adhere to the doctors orders. Because of this concern, I’ve requested to be anonymous with our horrible but successful journey.
Our daughter was born healthy in 2009, the first medical intervention started the day she was born receiving a vitamin K injection, the following 12 months she had more vaccines (as per the schedule) from DTP, polio, HepB, HIB and Varicella that year she had constant problems with constipation on and off as well as the inability to sleep through the night. After numerous doctor visits, she was diagnosed in 2012 with Atopic Dermatitis.
Early Jan 2013, now 3.5yrs of age she had diarrhea for 4-6weeks and abdomen pain. During her overnight stay at hospital her skin on her feet and legs become covered in bruises. She started to have pain in her joints and swelling. After a few days the purpura subsided.
In May 2013, she suffered another 4 weeks of abdomen pain, fever and diarrhoea which can only be described as alarming. This time her LFT’s were up and her diagnosis was HSP (Henoch-Schonlein Purpura)
In June & July of 2013 she still had diarrhea and eczema, with no end in sight.
In September 2013, We were sent to specialists in a larger city to and after 6-7 tests, they said it was IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), AIH/PSC (Auto immune Hepatitis/ Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Ulcerative colitis. The doctors informed us that these were lifelong diseases and that she would be placed on immune suppressants as her immune system is attacking her liver and intestinal lining.
We were told in 5-8 years my little 4 year old beauty could need a liver transplant, and the drugs that were going to be prescribing may cause her bones to become brittle. When it would come time for the liver transplant they would most likely remove the large bowel so that would “cure” the Ulcerative colitis. That would mean she would be fitted with a colonoscopy bag. The treatment requires suppressing the immune system and they recommended she have further vaccinations.
The Doctors were satisfied they had come to the conclusion. My wife and I drove home battered, destroyed and helpless with a future painted so bleak.
To make matters worse, they gave her several vaccinations before we left and she had an adverse reaction to one of them. She couldn’t put pressure on her leg that was vaccinated. It was red, swollen, extremely painful and hot to touch this it made it difficult for her to walk. We tried to tell the doctors about it, but they refused to record this as a side effect because they didn’t know which vaccine was given in the leg at the time.
Once we got home we got on the internet and searched for an alternative way to help heal her somehow or another. We changed our diet to include fresh whole foods cleaned out the pantry of all things processed. Anything containing wheat /gluten was out, sugar gone and as we started to become aware of the negative affects these foods and what they do to the human body. We wanted to give her the best chance to heal so she would need nutritious clean and wholesome food. Research, research and more research……
2014 was again plagued with abdo pain, cold /flu, sore throat, rashes, itchy scalp, and tender glands behind ears, tooth abscess, ear infections. All the while on prescribed medication –Prednisolone, mesalazine and then 6mp came on board.
In Sept 2014 We spoke to various specialists in our country who kept giving us the exact same outcome -unhappy with what they said as I was desperate to find a better outcome for our daughter. Onto the internet again and found Denise Otten’s book “Curing Courtney”. I bought the book and read it.
In Early 2015, We made contact with Denise to talk to her on what she had done for Courtney; I wanted to hear her voice to see what it was all about. Denise couldn’t have been more helpful. We spent long periods on the phone discussing the finer details and kept in touch by messaging. During this time we weren’t mentally ready to stop the pharma meds as fear of retaliation from our doctors remained and that the actual belief of these drugs were there to help her. We spoke to our doctors about this and they stated they did not support this (vitamin protocol) and that if things were to decline they would take “legal action.” I understood this to be a threat to report us to the legal system to remove our daughter from our care if we were to deviate from “mainstream medical recommendations” They highlighted to us that their methods were backed by “science” and that it was the only method approved by the government. A lot of possibilities race through your mind in this situation. We decided to use the vitamin protocol in conjunction with the drugs.
In short, in May 2015, less than a month of starting the protocol her LFT’s were the lowest they had been since diagnosis. Even though the LFT’s were still not within range it was very encouraging to see such a dramatic response. We knew the vitamins were working. Then we found another holistic practitioner, Dr. Jeremy. He recommended more holistic foods and a detox diet while bathing in epson salt baths, walking with bare feet on the ground daily. Also Moringa, and ACV andcoloidal silver, fulvic minerals, celtic sea salt & probiotic suppositories.
I’ll never forget when Dr. Jeremy asked “How does it feel to have your daughter back?” It’s absolutely amazing that our dreams have come true. We thank Denise Otten and Dr. Jeremy Ayres for their encouragment and support and for giving us our lives and our daughter’s health back.
You’re welcome my new Australian friends! G’day mate!

READ, if you know ANYONE ON DEPRESSION/ANXIETY MEDS! This a story of emotional determination and strength.
“Anonymous Ann” reverses her AIH when the doctor told her she couldn’t. (We respect her anonymity) Please note: AIH occurs in many ways. Most contract it because of all of the HEP B vaccines and flu shots they’ve had. Some, get it from the SSRI drugs, (plus Hep B shots), others develop it from a combo of strong prescription meds and lots of different vaccines, etc.
“ANN’s” story is heart wrenching …but has a HAPPY ENDING!
She was depressed and on psyche meds for decades before she read CURING COURTNEY and found a new way of living!!!
Here’s her story: (It’s long, but worth reading)
My bad eating habits and depression started when I was very young sneaking sweets. In high school I became bulimic. At that point my parents took me to a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me bipolar and started me on medication. I have been on psychiatric medication for 20 plus years since that point. Some of the medications I’ve taken through the years were Seroquel, Lithobid, Trazadone, Ambien, Prozac, Ambilify, Effexor, and many others. Part of my eating disorder was eating tons of sweets and breads. At my top weight, I weighed 264 pounds. In 2009 I had a breakdown and suicidal thoughts so I ended up in a mental hospital. At that time, I was on a large amount of psychiatric meds (or SSRI’s). When I came out of the hospital, my blood values were tested in a routine doctor’s check-up and discovered elevated liver enzymes. My ALT /AST levels were in the 300/100 range. Although I had many tests done including 3 liver biopsies they could not confirm a diagnosis of anything. My gastroenterologist was the one to tell me that it could be my medication. But when I asked my psychiatrist if it could be any of my medications, he told me “IT COULD NOT BE ANY OF MY MEDICATIONS.” The Gastro doc said it could be my weight or fatty liver. Autoimmune hepatitis was suspected but not confirmed through any test. Around 2010 I was able to overcome the bulimia part of my eating disorder but continued with the overeating on sweets. I lost a great deal of weight by exercising but was still overeating. My weight dropped to 180 but my liver values were still high. I was then sent to a hepatologist in a large city out West and they did another biopsy. The only thing they added was that it could be medication related, even though my psychiatrist disagreed. I was frustrated and started researching on my own and found the book Curing Courtney. After reading it, I tried to contact Denise Otten. To my surprise she emailed me back and I started some of the vitamins and gradually made the dietary change. She was the only one to push me and tell me that I needed to stop taking the medication, with the help of a doctor.
I was taking Ambien for 3 years and was highly addicted to it for sleep. It was a struggle to get off all of my meds and have had many doctors lecture me about this since then. In November of 2015, after 9 months of being off all psychiatric medication and gradually making diet changes; MY AST/ALT DROPPED TO 41/65. This was the HAPPIEST DAY I’ve had for a long time. I learned that no matter what the doctors say; it is so important to research on your own and trust your own gut instinct. My instinct all along was that the medication was harmful to me. Now my challenge is to battle bipolar without medication. (The truth is that it NEVER really helped me in the first place.)
My eating habits are completely different from what they used to be. I eat whole foods, no flour (wheat or white), protein, fruits, veges, very limited sugar, and avoid anything that is processed. To battle depression and the bipolar, I exercise daily, do yoga, and do the things I love including riding horses.
I TRULY FEEL MUCH OF MY DEPRESSION CAME FROM EATING SO MUCH SUGAR AND JUNK ALL THE TIME.
And the LITER OF DIET SODA a day didn’t help either!!!
(I’ve given that up for water)
I currently don’t take the all the vitamins but stuck to the diet change. Also once I got off Ambien, I slept better than when I was on it! I am so grateful that I found Denise and she challenged me in a way no one had and one day at a time I am getting better. She also brought my attention to the fact that I’m sensitive to the energy and people around me and how this could be affecting me. So I now try to surround myself with positive people and animals.
I am so grateful and thankful for all the improvements I have made even though they have been gradual! “Anonymous Ann”
And thank you “ANN” for being so coachable. Getting off all those meds is an inspiration to all of us. You are my new Hero!!!
Love you Bunches!
