Little Izabela had to fight a serious illness from birth. In early childhood she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease known by the abbreviation MCTD. She had to undergo intensive pharmacological treatment, which unfortunately did not have the desired effect. At the time Dr. Mark Hyman began dealing with her case, the little girl was suffering from lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Read how Dr. Hyman managed to reverse a hopeless prognosis.
Little Izabela had no hope of recovery
Her condition was serious and incurable. Doctors prescribed very strong drugs to at least slow the progression of the disease. Izabelka had to take daily:
- Aspirin
- Steroids
- Acid blockers
Large doses of the drugs of course had unpleasant side effects. Worse, however, was that they didn’t help at all. Then her doctors suggested that she would take immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs may reduce symptoms of the disease, but they can also trigger cancer and cause fatal infections. Izabela’s parents refused such treatment and went to see Dr. Hyman.
The doctor focused on finding the cause of her problems
He believed that finding the cause is better than treating the consequences. Izabela had to change her diet. Dr. Hyman eliminated sugars, dairy products and gluten from her diet. He also recommended that she take dietary supplements containing vitamin B 12, vitamin D, folic acid and fish oil. He further advised her to start taking evening primrose oil.
After a year of treatment with Dr. Hyman little Izabela is symptom-free. Her blood tests are normal and the little girl can finally begin to enjoy life.
All that was required was to follow these simple recommendations. Little Izabela managed to bring the autoimmune inflammation in her body under control. She and her doctor decided to publish her personal experience to raise awareness of the power of natural treatment that is based on finding causes and changing diet and lifestyle.
