Dr. Todd’s Teaching Assessment
What a ghastly amount of prescription medications! Makes one wonder if the prescriptions were a part of the problem! To most practitioners, this is an intimidating patient/client. Where does the practitioner start? What should the practitioner give to support the SHAPE Program? What area is screaming the loudest?
Step back, take a deep breath and do something. The something I always like to do first is the SHAPE Program. This patient is inflamed. The SHAPE Program decreases inflammation. Her immune system is extremely compromised. The SHAPE Program enhances immune function. She’s got stage 4 liver cirrhosis. The SHAPE Program is a mild detox. She is over overweight for her height and needs to shed toxic weight. Certainly add support where needed beyond the SHAPE Program.
The patient has shed 31 pounds of toxic, immuno-suppressive, inflammatory fat! She’s no longer using BP meds or diabetes meds and my guess, her other symptoms will improve dramatically as well.
Great job, Dr. Kwapisinski. Please let us know if her liver starts to show signs of healing as well.
