ANECDOTE

Near-Fatal Spinal Infection And Recovery

  • Josh Axe described a spinal infection that nearly left him paralyzed and required a year before he walked again.
  • He credits prayer, hyperbaric oxygen, red light, peptides, IVs and persistent therapy for complete regeneration shown on MRI.
INSIGHT

Target Organ-Age Over Chronological Age

  • Organs regenerate at different rates, and age can be measured per organ so you can target the oldest organ first.
  • Stanford's organ-age biomarkers predict mortality and guide personalized therapy focus.
ADVICE

Use A Personalized Healing Diet

  • Create a personalized diet tailored to your condition rather than copying popular diets like keto or vegan.
  • Match food choices to the disease: e.g., cancer protocols differ radically from IBD protocols.
