The Progression of Disease
In this short video we look at a patient with worsening diarrhea. Her MD put her on Pepto Bismol for 12 yearsl! After her health declined, she sought out a second opinion. After thorough testing, it was found that she had significant lead, mercury and bismuth levels in her urine! Upon testing her water, she installed a water filter and the problem with diarrhea went away after a very short period of time. Sometimes a progressing disease can be halted and sometimes reversed with proper testing and protocols.
