Sometimes the solution to difficult and complex problems is so simple that it hides in plain sight.
An example would be the problem of chronic illness.
I don’t have the complete answer to ending chronic illness or how to stop the current exploding epidemic of misery it is creating. But I may have a solution on how you can recover your health.
This solution is called Sequence-Based Health Care. It could help you heal from long-term, frustrating health problems, often when conventional medicine or natural treatments (called Symptom-Based Health Care) have failed.
Here’s the Problem:
“Six in ten adults in the US have a chronic disease, and four in ten adults have two or more.”
The chronic diseases listed above are the “big ones.” Still, there may be even more suffering from fatigue, digestive problems, sleep problems, menstrual and menopause issues, joint pain, headaches, anxiety, depression, etc. All of these are chronic illnesses.
Two Causes of the Chronic Illness Epidemic:
Lifestyle
Lifestyle issues such as smoking, unhealthy diets, no exercise, alcohol, and drugs all contribute to chronic illnesses. But most of the patients who have come to me were not doing these actions.
You can have chronic health problems despite living a healthy lifestyle.
Symptom-Based Health Care
Conventional medical treatment of all kinds, as well as holistic or natural health care, are Symptom-Based. The symptom may be a patient complaint or an abnormal lab test or image. With Symptom-Based Health Care, the doctor is treating the problem in the body.
If the problem is an injury, infection, or acute illness, this form of health care can be highly effective. But it doesn’t work well with chronic disease (see CDC statistics above).
Because Symptom-Based Health Care is 99.9% of all health care, when people with chronic conditions go for treatment, it uniformly doesn’t work (other than lifelong drug symptom management). Thus, we have an epidemic.
You are likely wondering about these statements, because the only health care you have ever known or heard of is Symptom-Based. What else would a doctor do other than treat the patient’s health problems?
This is what I meant by the solutions “hiding in pain sight.”
Sequence-Based Health Care
Premise:
Your body is designed to heal itself.
If you have a chronic condition, your body certainly isn’t succeeding in its efforts to heal.
THEREFORE: Your body is trying to heal but running into a barrier that’s stopping it.
Sequence-Based Health Care Steps:
We recognize that the intelligence running your body is the only entity that could know the details of why it can’t heal itself. Therefore, we make your body be the doctor on the case. By testing the nervous system directly, we can find out what your body wants to do—instead of guessing (conventional health care’s solution).
We test to discover the first (primary) barrier that is stopping the healing process. Then we test to discover what assistance the body wants from us to move past that barrier.
We assist the body (exact nutritional supplementation, acupressure, and diet improvement); it moves past the barrier and resumes healing.
The body now hangs up on the next barrier, and we repeat steps 2 and 3. We continue assisting your body past barriers until it can heal itself without hanging up, at which point your health is restored.
Sequence-Based Health Care ends the whack-a-mole of treating what the doctor thinks is wrong and empowers the body’s intelligence to run the treatment program.
Would This Help Me?
I understand how it feels to have a health problem with no solution. It was my own frightening health experiences that inspired this clinic.
For 28 years, we have helped 10,000 patients to resolve difficult problems and take back control of their lives and health.
Sequence-Based Health Care has been proven over decades of experience.
If your health problems are affecting you socially, physically, and mentally, we can help you to have the freedom to achieve your goals with energy, pleasure, and a sharp mind.
Y / N: “I recall at least one recent time when I decided NOT to do some activity because I didn’t have the energy for it.”
Y / N: SEVERE “This happens almost daily.”
Y / N: “I plan around my energy level; I know what times during the day I may not have energy.”
Y / N: “I am living at less than my potential for both activity and enjoyment because I lack the physical or mental energy required.”
Known Causes of Fatigue
Several physical conditions are known to cause fatigue. The good news is that if you have one of these conditions, you’ll have an excellent idea of what is causing your fatigue. Not sure if you have one of these? Read on; there’s more about that.
1: Anemia. This creates a lack of oxygen in your blood. You may get dizzy when you stand up, have brain fog, and get heart palpitations.
2: Diabetes. Blood sugar fluctuations require a great deal of energy, leaving you with little left for your life.
3: Thyroid. The metabolism master hormone gland. It dictates how much energy will be manufactured by every cell in your body. If it is stressed, you may have brain fog, exhaustion, and lack of motivation.
4: Heart Disease. If your heart isn’t pumping blood normally you can be severely fatigued. The tiredness will get worse as you exercise. You may also get shortness of breath and swelling in your arms and legs.
5: Sleep Problems. Insomnia, sleep apnea or just bad sleep habits can build up and lead to chronic tiredness and feeling sleepy.
6: Menopause / Prostate Problems. Having interrupted sleep from frequent urination, night sweats, and other symptoms of low hormone levels can cause severe brain fog, memory problems, lack of energy, and general misery.
7: Depression. Severe stress that goes along with depression can cause hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances. You may have trouble sleeping or wake too early and can’t get back to sleep.
8: Long Covid. This one has a wide variety of symptoms that are not yet understood. Fatigue is a common long-Covid symptom.
Even if you can identify which of these problems is causing your fatigue, there’s still the question of what can you do about this?
Some of these problems have real solutions, but most of them have only long-term drug-based symptom management available.
In most cases, the drugs used for symptoms won’t do much, if anything, for your fatigue or lack of energy.
So, what if you’re exhausted but don’t have any of the above health problems? Now what?
You’re in the same situation as people with diabetes, thyroid, menopause, depression, and long Covid. No medical solutions to these health conditions would resolve the fatigue associated with them.
The only possible solution in any of these cases is:
Get tested to determine what factors are preventing your body from healing.
If you don’t do this, you will be guessing, trying one thing after another to see what might work, researching the internet endlessly, and finding little that actually helps.
A word of caution: Discovering the cause(s) of your health problem is just the first step. You’ll also have to do something effective to assist your body in regaining its ability to heal.
If you have a stubborn/long-term health problem, there is no single treatment, drug, supplement, or diet that will solve it.
Often physical fatigue combines with mental sluggishness. Brain fog, poor concentration, and memory problems at the same time you have no energy can make up a misery package.
Physical and mental fatigue combined can be a knockout blow to your life.
You Don’t Need a Single Treatment; You Need a Guide and a Program
You need an entire program to work with your body, diet, and lifestyle to restore your life and health. You’ll also need a guide to work with you through the program and ensure you get complete results.
It doesn’t have to be hard. Often a health treatment program takes much less time than you may imagine.
I understand how you feel; it was my own frightening health experiences that inspired my clinic. I’ve been where you are myself!
I’ve been helping the most stubborn health cases for 30 years and have developed a comprehensive program that is individualized and unique to you.

Energy Increases!
When I first started the program at AHA I was tired, weak, lethargic and ached all over. In 2-3 weeks, many of the symptoms improved and I started getting more energy and less muscle aches and sleeping almost through the night. Now at 6 weeks I’ve regained a lot of energy – very few aches and pains and I’ve lost 25lbs. This is attributed to cutting out diet sodas, refined carbs and having protein shakes and I’ve also been drinking lots of water. — G.C.
Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office having received no help for your health problem and wondered why you went there in the first place?
Have you ever needed help with a health problem but didn’t call your doctor because you knew they couldn’t help you?
Many patients are hesitant to tell me what’s really wrong with their health because they’ve been told by doctors that it’s not real and they’re making it up, or that they’re suffering from a “chemical imbalance” in their brain.
Some patients say they feel silly telling me that they generally don’t feel well. They think that health problems without a medical diagnosis aren’t “real.” They’d be happy telling me about headaches or heartburn, but not that they wake up every morning with no ambition or energy and feeling bad.
Listen To Yourself
This hesitation in believing yourself about your own health results from a health care system that specializes in treating symptoms instead of health.
I recommend you listen to your body and believe what it tells you.
If you take the right actions, you can reverse your declining health and resume a happy and fulfilling life.
If you don’t do anything effective about your health, your happiness can be reduced. Your health may continue to worsen, and you may eventually have a health problem that your doctor can diagnose. At this point, treatment will likely be long-term medication to control a symptom while your health continues to deteriorate.
The Spiral Down
Many people feel bad, can’t get help from their doctor, think that this is their lot in life and just suffer.
Some, however, put up a heroic fight to improve:
First, you might go to your doctor. Doctors must diagnose you to do any treatment. If you can get no useful diagnosis, this is likely to result in either no help or a prescription for antidepressant drugs.
If you discover that this is certainly not what you were looking for, you may research the internet for products to try. This often results in countless hours wasted while becoming more confused.
You may use many different supplements, herbs, and remedies. Some of these may help and create hope, only to stop working after a while.
Some people may search for professionals: naturopaths, chiropractors, and functional medicine doctors. In many cases, treatment will produce an improvement. But this can often be followed by a plateau with no progress and then a slow slide back into feeling bad.
The final result can be a person who feels bad and has convinced themselves that there’s nothing left to try. They may have come full circle back to thinking this is their lot in life.
You Don’t Need a Treatment; You Need a Guide and a Program
If you generally don’t feel well long-term, there is no single treatment that is likely to help. Your problem is probably more complex than a single solution from a drug, supplement, or diet.
What you need is an entire program to work with your body, diet, and lifestyle to restore your life and health. You’ll also need a guide to work with you through the program to make sure you get a full result.
This doesn’t have to be hard. It could be done in less time than you may be imagining.

Feeling So Much Better!
I’ve been coming to Alternative Health Atlanta for only 2 ½ weeks and I already am experiencing relief from problems that I’ve tried to cure with medication, exercise and willpower. None of these methods have resulted in the peaceful night’s sleep, the sense of well-being and the decrease in my anxiety levels that I am now experiencing. After each visit, I sleep a little better, feel less anxious and have more energy. I am so excited about continuing to improve mentally and physically. It’s a Godsend! —M.K.
Most people have a desire to live life to the fullest with a combination of quantity and quality.
This short article presents the findings of five researchers who identified three simple tests you can do at home to measure your possible lifespan.
The medical paper published in the British Medical Journal in 2014 revealed a 13 year study where they took 1,355 men and 1,411 women in 1999 when they were 53 years old and then checked to see who was alive and well 13 years later in 2012.
The following are the three tests that were evaluated:
Standing on one leg with your eyes closed for 10 seconds or longer
Having a strong grip
Being able to stand up and sit back down in a chair many times in a minute.
According to the researchers of this paper, these tests clearly represented tell-tale signs of longevity.
Perform well in all three tests at age 53 or so and you should be healthy and vibrant 13 years later, when you are 66.
Researchers from University College London estimate that a 53 year old who can complete these tests successfully is up to 5 times more likely to be alive and well at 66 than someone who couldn’t complete the tests or who did them poorly.
There were far higher death rates among those who failed to complete the tasks.
Officially the tests are called:
The Chair Test (Standing up and sitting down in a chair 39 times in a minute for a man, and 36 times for a woman)
The balance test (standing on one leg for 10 seconds or longer with eyes closed)
The grip test (ability to apply a pressure of up to 54.5 kg or 120 pounds)

A recent article in The Economist is titled “The battle over the trillion-dollar weight-loss bonanza.”
What?
You’ve probably heard about the new weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound (called GLP-1 agonists), which can quickly reduce a person’s body weight by 15%. That’s 30 pounds lost if you weigh 200 pounds.
The Economist is predicting that annual sales of these drugs may reach $80 billion by 2030.
Close to half the world’s population is predicted to be obese or overweight by 2030 (World Obesity Federation). So, a trillion dollars in sales over a few years is not a stretch.
Execept…
In the history of pharmaceuticals, there has never been a product that was used by patients long-term that didn’t develop side effects. Generally, the more powerful the drug, the worse the side effects, as the chemical disrupts normal body functions.
These weight-loss drugs must be used for life and already have severe side effects (nausea, muscle loss, loss of enjoyment of foods). There is no predicting what happens after a person takes them for 10+ years.
Then, there’s human nature. As a species, we are not exceptionally good at doing things we don’t like unless there are consequences. Many overweight people live much healthier lifestyles to control their weight. Would they continue to eat well and exercise if they could take a drug and live any way they wanted?
Conventional medicine is very good at solving many health issues. Infections, trauma, and disease processes that the body can’t control are examples.
Medicine gets in trouble when it pushes the boundaries of its knowledge and proven techniques without sufficient due diligence. Developing chemicals that can alter the body in powerful ways without understanding how they work has been proven dangerous. Add a trillion-dollar incentive to this, and a disaster is very likely to occur.
There are effective ways of assisting your body in healing itself that don’t run these risks. This approach helps you to be healthier, more stable, and more able to live confidently in a toxic and stressful world.
