Health Care the Way Mother Nature Intended!! |
Take Control of Your own Lab Testing!
Pet Day: Coming Soon!
|
Greetings!
In my practice, I have discovered a major problem that many people suffer from which holds them back in their quest for better health. It is their Medical Doctor or insurance company refusing to run lab tests. I am going to give you the information necessary to completely take control over this aspect of your healthcare.
There used to be the day when educated experts knew better than you and ran lab tests for you. Now, since we have ubiquitous access to medical information on the internet, it is easy to do your own research on this subject.
You can order a lab test through the Life Extension Foundation. Their website is LEF.org. Technically, you are requesting that LEF order the blood test for you. You are not ordering it yourself. It's that simple.
Call or email Life Extension Foundation (LEF) 1-800-208-3444. The are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They have a $75 annual membership. There is the opportunity for current patients to get a gift membership for one year at $45 through my account. Also, for current patients, we can use my account so you don't have to get an annual membership at all. Contact me for more information.
After ordering the test on the website, they will ship the paperwork to you in 5-7 business days which you take to a blood draw station. LEF works with Labcorp which has locations throughout the U.S. That is where you go to get your blood drawn. The cost of that is included in the price of the lab test itself so there is no extra out-of pocket expense at the drawing station. They will draw your blood and pack it in dry ice and ship it overnight to Florida where LEF has their labs.
The results of the test arrive by mail, email and/or fax. It's your choice how you get the results. They have MD's on site to talk with you regarding your results if you desire. We can assist you by looking at the lab test from a nutritional point of view to improve the health of your organs and spine. Take the lab test to your doctor so that you can get a medical diagnosis.
If Labcorp is far away from you, you can go to another lab; but, you will pay their blood draw fee as an extra expense. This may be $10 to $40 depending on what type of blood draw they do. Call them ahead of time to ask them the price. MLabs in Ann Arbor is a resource for this.
These tests are the lowest cost tests in the country. All orders to LEF are paid with cash or credit card. A regular $500 battery of tests paid for by insurance will only cost $240 through LEF. Sometimes the cost of the LEF test is less than the insurance co-payment you would have normally paid for the test.
I have been looking for this type of resource for 9 years. I am happy to share this with you and hope you use it when you need to for the benefit of your health.
Sincerely,
Dr. Schmidt

Improvement Reports from our patients
What was it like before you came in to see us?
I had frequent back pain, severe depression, and frequent coughs.
How is it now?
My
depression has fallen considerably. I like to get out of bed in the
morning. My neck pain is just about gone after having it for 8 years. I
no longer have the extended coughs. Overall, after coming here for two
months, I can see a great improvement in my health.
L.G. 5/19/09 (Dr. Shannon's patient, results in 8 weeks)
****************************************************
What was it like before you came in to see us?
Every
day I was in complete misery from about December of 2008 into this
year. I had the worst sinus problems from a constant drainage not
through my nose but down my throat. I would start coughing so bad that
I would really see stars. Then, the head ache from the constant
coughing. I was taking so many sinus pills, every 3 hours I was taking
2 of them to try and get some relief. My relief was short lived and my
walking around in a daze from the pills was constant.
How is it now?
Thanks
to my supervisor who always was hearing me coughing and finally told me
about his brother-in-law and about himself and how the Nutritional Healing
Center has really helped them tremendously. The thought of finally
getting some relief without pills was outweighing my skepticism, so I
made the appointment with Dr. Shannon. Three weeks later my sinus
issues were almost gone. The fourth week I was not taking any sinus
pills at all. The sixth week I am finally free from medication, and I
am functioning with a clear mind and no more walking around in a daze.
Truth be told your eating habits must be changed and being a chocolate
addict I was in for a major challenge. But, I won so far, I take my
supplements, I read the labels for sugar content, no more chocolate
malts, chocolate chip cookies and no more of those little bite size
snickers. I have also lost some body fat and I feel GREAT!!
S.R. 5/4/09 (Dr. Shannon's patient, results in 6 weeks)
****************************************************
What was it like before you came in to see us?
Energy level low. Couldn't lose weight. Skeptical about program.
How is it now?
60% better in energy level. Lost 8 pounds in 7 weeks. Very glad I stepped out and gave Dr. Shannon a try.
D.S. (Dr. Shannon's patient, results in 7 weeks)
***********************************************
What was it like before you came in to see us?
I
was taking six different prescriptions to manage depression,
fibromyalgia, and sleep issues. Despite all these meds, I was still
experiencing symptoms; pain, sleep loss from fibromyalgia, apathy/lack
of energy from depression. One of my meds was at the maximum dose; it
was looking like I'd need to change it OR add a seventh to the mix. In
addition, my weight would not go down, despite trying to lose.
How is it now?
I
take only 2 prescription meds. The one that was "maxed out" is now at
50% of that dose. My pain levels have reduced; I have incredible
amounts of energy and I sleep wonderfully. I take four supplements -
small doses and much more affordable thatn the other meds - and I feel
like a new person. By the way...I've lost 7 pounds while eating amazing
food! It doesn't even feel like "work". In fact, I'm not really trying.
J.B. 5/21/09 (Dr. Schmidt's patient, results in 6 weeks)
************************************
What was it like before you came in to see us?
I was having heart palpitations at night that would keep me up for hours. They also made it difficult to relax in the evening.
How is it now?
Now the heart palpitations are gone and I can sleep much better.

"Truly Amazing"
Last week a dog that has healed greatly from lifetime seizure episodes through chiropractic suddenly had 21 seizures over a 24-hour period; writhing, frothing, uncontrolled urination, like she did prior to her spinal care that had begun over a year ago. Her distraught owners who had been up all night with her were wondering what was going on and how much more of this the dog or they would survive.
The Doctor, an excellent veterinarian, went to the home carrying a euthanizing needle because she thought that might be the only viable option at that point, and could not isolate the cause of the severe inflammation in the animal's ears, mouth, and biting of her paws. But the dog and the animal's owners persevered. They brought the dog to a Nutrition Response Testing Doctor's office for testing the next day.
The Doctor found an immune weakness with the dog's kidney, and she tested for four Standard Process whole food supplements.
The results are truly amazing. The dog's seizures stopped, and within hours her inflammation receded, and her owners happily report that she has continued to improve every day. She is now eating, drinking, sleeping and moving about again "like her old self" 4 days later.
Nutrition Response Testing is a tool unmatched by any other that I know of for that purpose.

Success with Standard Process in Animals
I was told by my vet that our dog was starting to exhibit signs of congestive heart failure. She went on to describe symptoms of congestive heart failure in dogs (coughing and fatigue) both of which our dog displayed frequently. The vet suggested expensive tests and possibly medication to help with symptoms. I did not want to begin down this path of medicating our dog for the rest of his life. So, I started him on Cardiotrophin PMG. A whole food supplement by Standard Process to help nourish his heart. He loves getting his supplement every morning! Within eight weeks of starting this supplement our dog was more energetic and not coughing any more.
