Patient Success stories
As I approach the end of each year, I often look back on some of our patient success stories. Here are a variety of successes using many different types of treatments.
Weight loss
A 50 year old woman came in specifically for weight loss. Dr. Mirman determined that using the NeuroReplete Weight Loss Program would be an effective treatment. At that time, patients used to come into the office every two weeks to weigh in. The attached chart shows this patient’s incredible progress. The patient said that she was not hungry during the process and lost a significant amount of weight without feeling constantly “deprived”. Now we have changed our methodology and the weigh-ins and many of the appointments are done virtually which makes the process even easier for patients. Once the patient achieved her goal weight, she chose to continue taking the NRP supplements to maintain her weight loss.
ADHD Success Story Using NRP Supplements
A young girl who had ADD/ADHD came in to see Dr. Mirman. Before coming in for the appointment her mother said that she exhibited many symptoms of the condition. She would only wear leggings and big baggie sweatshirts; no jeans because she said they bothered her. She would wear her hood over her head and her mother would only be allowed to comb through her hair at bath time. The adoptive mother took her out of public school and started homeschooling her but that was not a solution, it was a disaster. She would just lie on the floor and wouldn’t participate. For the first few months the mother was reduced to reading to her because she refused to read or write on her own. The mother even looked into sending her to a special school for children with special needs. After starting the NeuroReplete supplements with Dr. Mirman, the little girl has been thriving! After only three weeks of the amino acids, she never again cried or asked for her birth mother and her anxiety level dissipated. When the mother shared the girl’s progress with her former psychiatrist at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, the therapist couldn’t believe the difference!! The girl’s behavior was so improved that she won TWO pageants in one month!! The mother was thrilled with her progress and the amazing success of Dr. Mirman’s therapy.
Success Story: Knee Pain Treatment Using Medical Cannabis and Integrative Medicine
A 60-year-old overweight woman came into Life Medical experiencing knee pain and a slight case of depression. She was certified by the State of Minnesota for cannabis under chronic pain from her degenerative joint disease. She greatly improved from the medical cannabis, but we also suggested that she do something else simultaneously to improve her health long term, so we suggested conventional physical therapy, muscle work, also we used low level laser therapy on her knees. At our suggestion she also started taking the supplement Glucosamine. The stress on her knees has been reduced and her mood has greatly improved. Now that her knees are far less painful, she can be more active which enhances her weight loss efforts. This is truly a full circle success story for integrative medicine!
Success story: Homeopathy for Autistic Children
Jordan was a 6 year-old boy suffering from autism. His mother reported that he suffered from bouts of “wild and violent” behavior. He also exhibited repetitive and fixated behaviors and he did not interact with others. He frequently had to be removed from the school room because of his disruptive outbursts.
After using homeopathic treatments for 30 days, Jordan’s mom reported, “Jordan is staying in his therapy center classroom most of the day. Now, he sits calmly, pays attention, and follows directions—it’s remarkable!” 60 days after starting homeopathy, Jordan’s mom was beaming. “I am thrilled to tell you that Jordan is in a regular public-school classroom now, and he no longer requires the classroom aide or other daily therapy! He likes school, does well at it, and even talks to me about it. None of this would have happened before we began using homeopathic treatments. He is behaving well at home, and his outbursts are extremely rare now.” Jordan’s mom recontacted Dr. Mirman after a period of one year and happily reported that Jordan is doing very well. While he still had tendencies towards repetitive behaviors and interests, they were much reduced.
Success Story: Cannabis for Pain/Asthma
A male patient qualified for medical marijuana because of back pain, and claims that for him it “is a miracle” because his pain level is down to almost zero. He stopped taking 15 medications including 4 heavy-duty pain medications and some muscle relaxers. As an added unforeseen bonus, he was also able to stop the Prednisone he was taking for his asthma which is almost gone. I’ve had three separate cases so far where patients have had a great improvement from asthma.
Success Story: Complementary Care and Conventional Care
A patient came into Life Medical for treatment. The patient had many issues including PTSD, obesity, and back pain. PTSD often causes associated issues because it makes people upset and nervous. It impedes sleep, so many people gain weight as a result. It’s a vicious circle. When we look at PTSD, the most effective modalities might be; medical cannabis, hypnosis, Neuro Research Protocol (supplements) and homeopathy. It depends on the patient and the particular case, but we used a number of these methods to treat the patient and had great success. The patient was delighted with the results of his treatments, including his weight loss progress, relieved PTSD symptoms and back pain relief!
