Your body
is signaling
— not failing.

Marcus: I feel on top of the world. I feel my body has gotten back to how it was before. I felt that — maybe I should do more of that. But that's a pretty light workout. I always thought that if I worked out, it would make it worse. That is not going to happen anymore. So that's a good thing.

Hector's wife: Right after COVID, we're talking about 2020. He got COVID in August 2020. He got so sick — very, very sick. And after that, his energy never went up. Different symptoms that we never thought were related to the kidneys. Mostly lack of energy. That was the main thing.

Dr. Bismah: And it's not that what you were doing is the reason. It could also be because of the infection or it could be something else that is impacting the kidneys along with what you're doing that rapidly accelerated the kidney damage. So in all, if we look at it from 2024 up till now, it looks like that you have decreased 20 points, right, almost or close to it. And that is very, very significant. We actually call that rapid kidney decline. And that means that rapidly there's something happening in your body that is impacting the kidneys. And I feel it may not be that rapid decline, essentially what we call it, because there is definitely kidney decline. And there are these other things that are burdening the kidneys that are having this version of pseudo rapid decline. Right.

Thank you, Hector. I really, really from the bottom of my heart, if you work with us or you don't work with us, I still wish you absolute great health so that you can get out of the situation and live a healthy, beautiful life with your wife. Okay. Thank you. Bye, my guy. Bye, dear.

Hector's wife: He has to take breaks. A month ago, he was not able to come outside at all. He has to sit down and take his time, do it slowly — but he's able to do more things.

Hector: Yeah, I can spend six hours outside, completely busy doing stuff. Before, it was like an hour and I'd go inside, because I felt very, very bad. But now I can do regular activities, like I normally did before.

Dr. Bismah: Excellent, excellent, excellent. Okay, good.

Hector: I can do more activities lately. The acid reflux is over — I don't have that problem anymore. And also the blood pressure is in normal numbers. I noticed when I started taking the CBD drops, that helped me a lot with the blood pressure. I get sometimes 110, 115 with those drops. Without the drops, it was 125, 130. But when I take them, I feel my blood pressure gets into those better numbers.

Dr. Bismah: That's amazing. I love it, I love it, I love it.

Dr. Bismah: Tell me about your leg cramps, how's that?

Hector: I have no more problem with that. I love that.

Dr. Bismah: Tell me about your sleep, how's that?

Hector: I think I'm sleeping better, not for long periods, but I'm sleeping better. Excellent. I think like four hours, I wake up, yeah. I love it. I cannot sleep long periods, but it's small, short periods, but I feel the night sleep.

Priya's mother: She said, "I'm in Dallas, and it says 12 weeks. If it is a lifelong thing, how is 12 weeks going to work?" We are here, basically, as parents — completely worried about her and her future. My therapist actually recommended you. That's how we found you.

Dr. Bismah: I see.

To get our daughter better. To be in one sentence, if I have to say, to reverse her condition as much as possible. To get her better. And so that she leads a normal life as we all want our kids to be. So that's why we're here.

Dr. Bismah: Okay, so tell me more about the inner glow. Where are you getting it from?

Priya: I don't know, I think I've just been feeling a lot better physically and mentally.

Dr. Bismah: Great, great, great, great. There are a lot of things that we are doing, right? From doing these treatments, doing the supplements.

Priya: Not from them. Not from me wanting to do it. I think I have shifted my perspective. Definitely in the last three weeks, I've felt a huge difference in myself. It's one of those moments where you think, "Oh, my parents knew better. They're always looking out for me." And I know that. But moving back home and being so close to them, it's like trying to still be an adult. I like to live an independent life, focusing on my health while keeping them informed, but keeping a healthy boundary. So I want to be able to have these conversations one-on-one with you. I'm okay with it now. I think I've come to an understanding of the benefits of the support. And I'm fully invested in this. I want to do this. I want to feel better about it. And I have seen the results.

Dr. Bismah: So what we are going to do is… tell me one more thing.

Priya: No, from when I started to now, I have definitely had an improvement in how I've been feeling. Just generally, I'm more optimistic now. I'm more positive. I'm able to regulate my emotions a little bit better. I think I feel much better. I feel my mind is a lot clearer. I'm not as stressed. Hopefully good things.

I'm tired of people telling me that this is normal and that I just need to deal with it. I think it's very easy to normalize things and be like, oh this is fine and this is new age, and that is a very wrong thing.

Than I was even a few months ago. I mean, I will say coming out of school, a lot of it was something I'm still struggling with is explaining to people. I don't owe anybody an explanation of why I left school or if I left school, did I fail? Did I not, like what, why? But I feel like I'm very, I don't want people to think I failed because I have a problem with that. I don't want to feel, I don't want to be perceived as if, oh, she couldn't do it, that's why she left. And I know a lot of that comes from the fact that obviously I grew up in Oklahoma, so the people that were there, the people that I was around, like even family, I mean, my friends are all very supportive, they all understand, but community-wise, like aunties, uncles, like, oh, so I was leaving Oklahoma, oh, why? Like, you know, things like that. I will say when I did leave, even though I didn't fail a class or get kicked out or anything like that, I still did feel like a failure because I was like, I couldn't do it. Like I couldn't continue to keep going and I couldn't, you know, just get through it. Like I was nine months in didactic, which is like our textbook study, I guess you could say, is 12 months. And then you start clinicals. So yeah.

We don't really know why you got better is what he said. I know why you got better, because we lowered inflammation, we took off 40 pounds, we got his cells working better. All his cells work better because functionally we looked at the root cause. That's why he got better, because we knew what made it worse. It's more like we went to the root cause of what wasn't working and just made his cellular health better, and that's how he got better. Then that's when I handed him off to you.
