My office was Ali’s last stop. She and her family were looking for residential facilities because her symptoms were so disabling, chronic, and unresponsive to conventional treatment. She had collected diagnoses over her lifetime including Eating Disorder, Premenstrual Dysphoria, Depression, Generalized Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder. She made five real suicide attempts, had been hospitalized multiple times, and was delusionally agitated for several days around her period every month.

What unfolded in two months defies everything that I learned in my conventional training. We implemented the steps I outline in A Mind of Your Own and Vital Mind Reset, tapered her off of medication, and she was not only symptom free, but reborn.

Ali’s case is pending publication in a peer-reviewed, indexed journal. We are changing the story of mental health, together. Join us…
