Jane became aware that she had pain after mild to moderate exercise. The pain was in her arms and chest….

Rewind to six months earlier.  Jane decided that she was sick and tired of being sick and tired. She knew that she had been sick for a long, long time – from childhood actually. When she was young she remembers feeling sick after eating. She remembers being taken to the doctor many times. Jane has had stomach problems for years. She admits that she never really knew what to do about it or why she felt so badly. As a consequence to Jane’s digestive problems, her weight gain became a challenge. She was fifty pounds overweight which was a lot for her small frame, and no matter what diet she tried, she just could not loose the excess weight.

When she first came to my office, she also expressed concern about the changes she was experiencing in her skin. She explained that the dermatologist burned off three new areas that had erupted on her face. This could be an indication that her body was fighting against itself, which is an autoimmune reaction. If enough time passes for someone with Gastro-Intestinal complaints, one of the most common symptoms is often skin problems.

I explained to Jane what she needed to do. The first thing was to identify her unique metabolism and begin matching the correct foods and amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats. After that she took a simple blood test to determine her food allergies. Once she started eating according to her metabolic type and she eliminated the foods she was allergic to, her body began to feel better within days. Her Gastro-Intestinal symptoms began to disappear and her face started to clear up.

Within three months she lost twenty-five pounds. Everyone was telling her how good she looked. and her energy and outlook skyrocketed!

One week ago, Jane experienced some pain in her arm after her daily three mile walk. The pain  became more consistent and that is when she went to see her doctor. She really didnt wnt to go to her doctor, after all she had many fearful experiences at the doctor from childhood.After her primary care physician examined her, he immediately sent her to the hospital. He said that he thought she was having a problem with her heart.

While at the hospital the doctors scheduled a stress test for the next day. During the night her cardiac enzymes were slightly elevated. After a couple of more tests, including a Cardiac Catheterization, it was determined that a major artery in the heart was 95% blocked. The cardiologist said that if she would have performed the stress test that she would have had a heart attack and died during the test.

That same day a stint was inserted into the artery and her heart problem was resolved.

But the moral of this story is not about the quick thinking of the doctors or the effective medical procedure. Here is the amazing part of the story. Jane was released from the hospital the next day. The procedure took place on Thursday and she was released from the hospital on Friday. And on Sunday she was leading worship at her church!
