Welcome to the first lesson in this “Post-Covid Syndrome” patient education series.

In this lesson I will present to you the necessary fundamental aspects of post-covid syndrome. Join me Dr. Lee as I navigate through a range of inquiries and impart my knowledge & expertise in this disease, and expand your acumen and deepen your understanding of this increasingly relevant condition.

What is Post-Covid Syndrome? #

Post-covid syndrome is a medical term for a set of symptoms that persist in a person even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and thereby COVID-19 is deemed resolved. In other words, a set of symptoms that persist in a person even after his/her SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 disease is deemed cured is called post-covid syndrome.

To elaborate, Post-covid syndrome is a medical term for:

  • Symptoms of SARS-COV-2 viral infection symptoms (COVID-19 symptoms) that continue & persist in an individual even after the infection is treated.

    For example: If a person was infected by SARS-COV-2 and experienced COVID-19 symptoms – breathlessness, tiredness, brain fog, and poor sleep; and then was successfully treated for the viral infection (i.e. no more presence of SARS-COV-2 virus detected) and yet the symptoms of COVID-19 continued & persisted for weeks or months, then this person is said to have Post-Covid Syndrome.

AND/OR

  • Symptoms of chronic diseases that existed prior to the SARS-COV-2 viral infection, that worsen & persist in an individual even after the SARS-COV-2 viral infection is treated.

    For example: If a person had chronic gastritis and experienced symptoms of abdominal bloating and acid reflux, and later was infected by SARS-COV-2 and experienced COVID-19 symptoms – breathlessness, tiredness, brain fog, and poor sleep; and then was successfully treated for the viral infection (i.e. no more presence of SARS-COV-2 virus detected) but the person’s COVID-19 symptoms of gastritis (abdominal bloating and acid reflux) worsened & persisted for weeks or months, then person is said to have Post-Covid Syndrome.

What are the symptoms associated with post-covid syndrome? #

The symptoms associated with post-covid syndrome include:

  • Fatigue
  • Shortness of breath (breathlessness)
  • Chest pain
  • Heart palpitations
  • Cognitive difficulties such as brain fog and difficulty with concentration and memory
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Skin rashes or itchiness
  • Abdominal bloating or uneasiness
  • Digestive problems
  • Headaches
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Loss of taste or smell
  • Depression
  • Anxiety.

** Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of all symptoms. Additional symptoms are still being reported constantly. The severity and duration of symptoms can vary greatly from person to person.

If the symptoms of COVID-19 and Post-Covid Syndrome are similar, how is it determined that an individual has post-covid syndrome and not unresolved COVID19? #

Determining whether an individual has fully recovered from COVID-19 and is experiencing Post-Covid Syndrome could be challenging if one tries to determine so just based on symptoms, because the symptoms of the two diseases can overlap. For this cause it is necessary for a patient to get help from a competent integrated & holistic medical doctor to determine whether he/she has COVID-19 or Post-Covid Syndrome.

Notwithstanding, for educational purposes here is a list of key factors that a competent integrated & holistic medical doctor would use to determine if a patient’s symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or with Post-Covid Syndrome:

  • Medical history:
    To know whether a patient had COVID-19 in the past or not, and thereby to help the medical doctor make an initial prognosis whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Duration of symptoms:
    Generally, symptoms of COVID-19 resolve within a few weeks, while symptoms of Post-Covid Syndrome can persist for several weeks or months. Again, this helps the medical doctor make an initial prognosis whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • RT-PCR test:
    This test detects the presence of SARS-COV-2 viral infection and thereby establishes the patient to have COVID-19, which the medical doctor would use in determining whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • IgG Antibody test:
    This test detects presence of IgG antibodies in the patient’s blood and thereby establishes whether the patient’s immune system is already trained to handle SARS-COV-2 viral infection or not. Patients with an immune system trained to handle SARS-COV-2 viral generally experience COVID-19 symptoms for just a few days. This test therefore helps the medical doctor his determination whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-covid Syndrome.

  • Chest X-ray and CT scans: These diagnostic imaging tests show conditions of the patient’s organs effected by COVID-19; the condition of the patient’s organs show different characteristics when in COVID-19 as compared to Post-Covid Syndrome. Therefore, the medical doctor would use these tests in determining whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Blood Inflammatory Markers test: Specific biomarkers from the blood including CRP, ESR, ferritin, etc., are used to determined inflammatory conditions in various organs. Generally, the levels of these biomarkers are different during COVID-19 and Post-Covid Syndrome. Therefore, these tests further help the medical doctor to in his determination whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-covid Syndrome.

  • Clinical examination: The medical doctor would perform a physical examination to know if there be any additional causes to the patient’s symptoms, which also helps to determine whether the symptoms are associated with COVID-19 or Post-Covid Syndrome.

What’s are the causes of post-covid syndrome? Why do symptoms of COVID-19 continue & persists even after treatment? #

The causes to Post-Covid Syndrome per witnessed by a large body of competent integrated & holistic medical doctors are:

  • Continuance of immune system disregulation:

    Immune system disregulation as it relates to COVID-19 is an abnormal response of the immune system to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

    During the acute phase of COVID-19, the immune system mounts a response against the virus in order to clear it from the body. In some cases, this response can be excessive, leading to a “cytokine storm” which is characterised by an overproduction of inflammation-causing molecules called cytokines. This can lead to severe injury in major organs especially in lungs and liver.

    In some cases the immune system continues to produce cytokines and other inflammation-causing molecules long after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated. This causes ongoing inflammation and tissue damage in various organs, which ultimately causes the initial COVID-19 symptoms to continue & persist into Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Exacerbation of inflammatory conditions associated with chronic diseases that existed prior to Covid19:

    Some people have chronic diseases and their associated chronic inflammations in various organs prior to getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is seen that in many of these people those chronic inflammations exacerbate and cause increased disease activity of those diseases that were present prior to their SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. This occurs because the immune response triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus further stimulates the existing chronic inflammatory processes and thereby worsens the associated chronic diseases and ultimately worsens symptoms and/or causes additional symptoms.

    In many cases, this exacerbation of existing inflammatory conditions is seen to persists even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed to be resolved, which causes the initial COVID-19 symptoms to continue & persist into Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Exacerbation of silent inflammatory conditions that existed prior to COVID-19:

    Some people have underlying silent inflammatory conditions prior to getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. These underlying silent inflammatory conditions can range from subclinical autoimmune conditions to silent infections and may not present any noticeable symptoms.

    However, when these people get infected with SARS-CoV-2, the immune response to the virus is seen to exacerbate the underlying silent inflammatory process, leading to increased COVID-19 symptoms and potentially even clinical manifestations of those silent inflammatory conditions.

    In many cases, this exacerbation of existing underlying silent inflammatory conditions is seen to persists even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed to be resolved, which ultimately causes the initial COVID-19 symptoms to continue & persist into Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Unresolved damage to organs that happened during SARS-CoV-2 viral infection:

    Some people experience a severe case of COVID-19 wherein the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection results in damage to various organs in the body, including the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys. This damage may occur consequent to the virus directly attacking these organs or due to a hyper immune response to the virus.

    In some cases, this damage in organs is not fully resolved even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed to be resolved, which ultimately causes the initial COVID-19 symptoms to continue & persist into Post-Covid Syndrome.

Which COVID-19 patients are at risk to experience post covid syndrome? and why? #

The answer to this question is closely related to the answer presented to the prior question. COVID-19 Patients that are at high risk to experience Post-Covid Syndrome are:

  • Those that had any chronic disease and their associated inflammatory conditions prior to COVID-19:

    This is because, the immune response triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is seen to further stimulate existing chronic inflammatory processes and thereby exacerbate chronic inflammatory conditions associated with those chronic diseases and thereby worsen symptoms and/or causes additional symptoms which can continue & persist even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed resolved, thus putting people with existing chronic diseases at high risk to experience Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Those that had diabetes and its associated inflammatory conditions prior to COVID-19:

    Among chronic disease patients, those patients that have diabetes prior to COVID-19 are ones with the highest risk to experience Post-Covid Syndrome.

    Diabetes is a chronic disease characterised by high levels of glucose in the blood due to insulin resistance or inability of their pancreas to produce insulin. This elevated glucose level contributes to chronic systemic low-grade inflammation (low-grade inflammation throughout the body), which can damage blood vessels and organs over time.

    When an individual with diabetes is infected with SARS-CoV-2, the immune response to the virus can stimulate the existing systemic low-grade inflammations and thereby worsen damages in organs & blood vessels and thereby worsen symptoms and/or cause additional symptoms that can continue & persist even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed resolved, thus putting people with existing Diabetes at high risk to experience Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Those that have Silent Inflammatory Conditions prior COVID-19:

    Silent Inflammatory Conditions are chronic conditions that produce low-grade inflammation in the body, but do not present any symptoms. Some examples of these conditions include metabolic syndrome, subclinical autoimmune conditions, and certain types of chronic infections.

    When a person with a Silent Inflammatory Conditions is infected with SARS-CoV-2, the immune response to the virus is seen to stimulate those low-grade inflammations and thereby exacerbate the underlying Silent Inflammatory Conditions and thereby trigger a variety of symptoms. This exacerbation of existing Silent Inflammatory Conditions can continue & persist even after the virus has been cleared from the body and COVID-19 is deemed resolved, thus putting people with existing Silent Inflammatory Conditions at high risk to experience Post-Covid Syndrome.

  • Those that got heavy damage to any organ by a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection.

    In some COVID-19 patients it is seen that the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes significant damage to various organs – including the lungs, heart, and nervous system.

    If a person gets heavy damage to any organ by a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and the damage is not resolved even after the virus has been cleared from the body, then this can result in symptoms of COVID-19 to continue & persist into Post-Covid Syndrome even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed resolved, thus putting people with heavy organ damage during COVID-19 at high risk to experience Post-Covid Syndrome.

    For example, people with significant lung damage during COVID-19 may continue to experience respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue; people with heart damage during COVID-19 may experience cardiac symptoms such as palpitations and chest pain; even after the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated and COVID-19 is deemed resolved.

What about patients that fully recovered from COVID-19 and have no symptoms; are they at risk to get post-covid in the future? #

Yes, it is possible that a person who has fully recovered from COVID-19 and thence has no symptoms can still develop Post-Covid Syndrome sometime later, even months after their initial infection was totally resolved. This could happen because of:

  • Unresolved Silent Inflammatory Conditions that exacerbate slowly over time and trigger symptoms after reaching a certain conditional threshold:

    Silent inflammatory conditions are chronic conditions that produce low-grade inflammation in the body but do not present any symptoms. Some examples of these conditions include metabolic syndrome, subclinical autoimmune conditions, and certain types of chronic infections.

    When a person with existing silent inflammatory conditions is infected with SARS-CoV-2, the immune response to the virus is seen to exacerbate the underlying silent inflammatory conditions and thenceforth trigger a variety of symptoms. However, in some cases this exacerbation of existing underlying silent inflammatory conditions is seen to happen long after the viral infection is treated and its symptoms are resolved.

    For example – a person that had existing silent inflammatory conditions got a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (got COVID-19) in March, and within two weeks was successfully treated and showed no more symptoms, but later that year in October started experiencing symptoms without having any SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (without getting COVID-19), because the exacerbation of this person’s existing silent inflammatory conditions happened slowly over time and triggered symptoms after reaching a certain conditional threshold.

  • Unresolved mild organ damage that worsens slowly over time and triggers symptoms after reaching a certain organ-damage threshold:

    After being infected by SARS-CoV-2 virus, some COVID-19 patients get damage to some organs including the lungs, heart, and nervous system. However, the level of damage in organs could vary from mild to severe in different patients.

    If a COVID-19 patient gets mild damage to an organ during an initial viral infection phase, then gets successfully treated for the infection and deemed cured from COVID-19, but still has that mild damage to that organ, then the mild damage in that organ could worsen slowly over time and trigger symptoms much later after reaching a certain organ-damage threshold.

    For example – a person got a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (got COVID-19) in February and consequentially got mild liver damage, and within two weeks was successfully treated for COVID-19 and showed no more symptoms. But because his mild liver damage was not detected and not treated, the damage got worse slowly over time and later that year in November the person started experiencing symptoms without having any SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (without getting COVID-19).

Can post covid syndrome be treated and resolved? #

Short answer, Yes. But there are nuances that you need to understand.

As explained above, Post-Covid Syndrome is only a term for a set of symptoms experienced by a person even after a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is treated (even after COVID-19 is treated), which are caused by either one or more of – Continuance of immune system disregulation triggered by the viral infection, Exacerbation of inflammatory conditions associated with chronic diseases that existed prior to COVID-19, Exacerbation of silent inflammatory conditions that existed prior to COVID-19, and/or Unresolved organ-damage that happened during COVID-19.

You should never seek to treat Post-Covid Syndrome. Why? Because by doing so you would end up only suppressing symptoms by use of symptom-suppressing treatments. Instead, you should seek to find & treat the underlying causes to Post-Covid Syndrome which I’ve already listed and explained in much detail throughout this lesson.

Therefore my precise answer to this question is – Yes, Post-Covid Syndrome can be treated and resolved, only if all it’s underlying causes and root causes are treated & resolved.

In Heal Within®, my treatment protocol for Post-Covid Syndrome is based on finding & treating all it’s known causes & root-causes. Patients are taken through a series of medical tests to know the current condition of their immune system and thereby diagnose if there is Post-Covid immune disregulation, and to know the current condition in all organs in their body to diagnose if there is any organ damage or any silent inflammatory conditions in them. Then based on the results of those medical tests, a comprehensive treatment program is planned and a combination of various necessary therapies are administered. The ultimate objectives of the treatment being – Holistic Healing (induce healing in the patient’s whole body and restore it back to normal health as much as possible), Recurrence Prevention (Prevent recurrences of Post-Covid Syndrome), and Long-term wellbeing (induce optimal health for long-term wellbeing).

If you or a loved-one has Post-Covid Syndrome and seeking to get well, our treatment in Heal Within® can help.

TREATMENT EXECUTION PROCESS

PHASE 1: DIAGNOSIS

Integrated & Holistic Diagnosis

Objective for Diagnosis:

Our treatment plan is tailored to each patient based on each patient’s body condition. The primary objective for diagnosis is to determine each patient’s current body condition and by this to then tailor the most effective & efficient treatment plan for each patient.

Data Collected for Diagnosis:

  1. The patient’s medical history: Genesis & progression of diseases, medications  & other treatments used in the past, allergies, diet patterns, sleep habits, exercise habits, supplements used, etc.
  1. Vitality Factors: The patient’s current levels in energy, body & limb mobility, digestion & bowel movement, mental & emotional state, sleep, sexual function, skin complexion, and immunity.
  1. Symptoms: Symptoms are primarily aches, pains & discomforts experienced by the patient, and external-physical-body changes seen in the patient.
  1. Conditions in major organs: Specific abnormal conditions (if any) in the stomach, spleen, gut, colon, liver, gallbladder, heart, lungs, brain, nerves, blood vessels & blood, lymph vessels & lymph, bones & joints, and muscles.
  1. Causes to abnormal conditions in organs: (1) Toxins – organic / inorganic / heavy-metals (2) Acids of food-fermentation from gut (3) Infectious agents – bacteria / viruses (4) Metabolic acids above homeostatic-threshold (5) Lack of essential nutrients; (6) Lack of oxygen (7) Hormonal imbalances (8) High sugar level (9) Low white blood cells levels (10) EMF disturbances from external environment.
  1. Existence of 10 Primary Abnormalities: (1) Gut disbiosys from a toxic-diet; (2) Heavy metals dental fillings; (3) Bad external environment at home or work; (4) Nutrition-deficient diet; (5) Lack of muscular-skeletal motion resulting into poor blood circulation; (6) Lack of muscular-skeletal motion resulting into poor lymph circulation; (7) Abnormal brain & nerve regulation; (8) Mitochondrial dysfunction; (9) Sympathetic overdrive from a chronic stressed state of mind; (10) Genetic organ disorders.

Diagnosis Procedure:

(what happens in the centre during phase 1 diagnosis.)

To determine the above 5 things, the designated medical doctor gathers a complete detailed record of the patient’s medical history, and then conducts a series of specialised medical tests. Then, based on the results of the medical history analysis & medical tests, he tailors the most effective treatment plan.

Part 1: Medical data gathering:

Here, the dedicated nurse conducts a very comprehensive verbal introspection with the patient to record the patient’s medical history, vitality factors, and symptoms; which includes – patient’s past diseases, past medications, present diseases, present medications, allergies, diet patterns, sleep habits, exercise habits, supplements used, etc.

Part 2: Diagnostic tests:

Preliminary tests:

  1. Live Blood Analysis
  2. Dry Blood Analysis
  3. 12 Internal Organs Scan by Digital Meridian Analysis
  4. Body Composition Analysis
  5. Pulse Rate Analysis
  6. Urine Dipstick
  7. Saliva Test
  8. Free Radical Urine Test
  9. Dental Evaluation & Oral Examination

Advanced tests: 

  1. Total Blood Chemistry Test
  2. Heart Variability Test
  3. Toxicology Test
  4. Nutritional Status Test
  5. Hormonal Profile Test
  6. Stool Test
  7. ECG Test
  8. Ultrasound Test
  9. Other specific advanced tests (done through 3rd party service providers)
Part 3: Detailed analysis of test results:
In this part, the doctor will analyse all patient’s medical history, vitality factors, symptoms gathered in part 1 together with all results of tests done in part 2.
Part 4: Treatment plan tailoring & explanation:
In this part, the doctor consults the patient, explains the patient’s condition per his analysis done in part 3, and then tailors the treatment plan.
Part 5: Treatment plan execution schedule:

In this last part, the dedicated nurse helps schedule the treatment execution (dates/time on which each therapy of the treatment needs to be administered) and coaches the patient on the details.

The dedicated nurse is available to the patient for questions & doubts anytime during the entire treatment duration.

TREATMENT EXECUTION PROCESS

PHASE 2: TREATMENT

Integrated & Holistic Treatment

Objectives for Treatment:

While the purpose of treatment could seem obvious, it is necessary to recall the objective purpose of the treatment, which are the 3 Primary Objectives (already written & explained earlier in the web-page). To help you recall, following are the 3 Primary Objectives of the treatment in Heal Within®:

  1. Treat all unhealthy conditions in diseased organs (ex. clear plaque from heart arteries, shrink & dissolve cancer-tumours, dissolve & flush-out crystallised stones from kidneys, etc.)
  1. Treat the root causes to the unhealthy conditions in diseased-organs (ex. treat the root causes to plaque formation in heart arteries, cancer-tumours in liver, stones in kidneys, etc.)
  1. Optimise the condition & function of all organs, so to prevent recurrences of past diseases, and prevent occurrence of any other potential chronic disease in the future.

Doing the above 3 necessary steps is the only way to achieve holistic healing, recurrence prevention, and optimal health & high quality of life long-term.

Contents in Treatment:

The contents in treatment is basically the therapies that the designated doctor tailors & plans for the patient at the end of ‘Phase 1 – Diagnosis.

TREATMENT PRINCIPLES

10 PILLARS
OF HEALTH

Dr Lee calls them 10 Pillars because
these are the foundations for good health.

Dr Lee calls them 10 Pillars because these are the foundations for good health.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE FOR HEALTH & DISEASE:

Listed below are the 10 Pillars of health. Good health is natural effect/consequence of a normal state in all these 10 Pillars of Health; and, Disease is a natural effect/consequence of an abnormal state in any one or more of these 10 Pillars of Health.

NORMAL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH ➨ GOOD HEALTH

When all 10 Pillars of Health* are in their normal state, it results in healthy condition & function in all organs, and thereby results in good health. (i.e. Good health & vitality is a consequential effect of all 10 Pillars of Health being in their normal state.)

10 Pillars of Health in their Normal State means thus: (1) Wholesome food diet, full spectrum nutrition, clean & healthy gut; (2) Minimal internal toxicity, non-toxic external environment; (3) Normal blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Normal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Normal hormonal levels; (6) Healthy base-cell* levels; (7) Normal mitochondrial function; (8) Normal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Normal state of mind & emotions; (10) Normal physical activity & lifestyle.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in their Normal State

For example, when all 10 Pillars are in their normal states, it results in:

  • The gut being in its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in one experiencing good health and not experiencing any associated disease symptoms such as gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • The liver being in its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in one experiencing good health and not experiencing any associated disease symptoms such as abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • The heart being in its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in one experiencing good health and not experiencing any associated disease symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.


And healthy conditions in all other organs too, and thereby cumulatively results in one experiencing good health & good vitality.

ABNORMAL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH ➨ DISEASE

When any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health* are in an abnormal state, it results in an unhealthy condition & function in one or more organs, and thereby results in disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, and lowered vitality. (i.e. All diseases & lowered vitality are just consequential effects of any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health being in an abnormal state.)

10 Pillars of Health in an Abnormal State means thus: (1) Bad food diet, lack of essential nutrition, bad gut environment (2) Too much internal toxicity, & highly toxic external environment; (3) Poor blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Abnormal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Hormonal imbalances; (6) Low base-cell* levels; (7) Abnormal mitochondrial function; (8) Abnormal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Stressed state of mind & emotions; (10) Poor physical activity & lifestyle.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in an Abnormal State

For example, when any one or more of the 10 Pillars are in an abnormal state, it results in:

  • Unhealthy Gut condition such as disbiosys, acidosis, etc., and thereby results in symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Unhealthy Liver condition such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, etc. and thereby results in symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.
  • Unhealthy Heart condition such as coronary artery atherosclerosis, and thereby results in symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Unhealthy Lung condition such as
    bronchitis, and thereby results in symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.


And unhealthy conditions in other organs too, and thereby cumulatively results in one experiencing disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, and lowered vitality.

OPTIMAL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH ➨ OPTIMAL HEALTH

When all the 10 Pillars of Health* are in their optimal state, it results in all organs being in their optimal condition and functioning at their optimal levels, optimal immunity, and thereby results in preventing recurrences of past diseases, preventing occurrences of any potential future diseases, optimal vitality, and ultimately into optimal health & high quality of life long-term. (i.e. Disease-free life, optimal health, optimal vitality, and high quality of life long-term are just consequential effects of all the 10 Pillars of Health being in their optimal state.)

10 Pillars of Health in their Optimal State means thus: (1) Optimally wholesome food diet, full spectrum nutrition, clean & healthy gut; (2) Optimally minimal internal toxicity, non-toxic external environment; (3) Optimal blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Optimal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Optimal hormonal levels; (6) Optimal base-cell* levels; (7) Optimal mitochondrial function; (8) Optimal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Optimally healthy state of mind & emotions; (10) Optimal physical activity & lifestyle.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in their Optimal State

For example, when all 10 Pillars are optimised, it results in:

  • Optimising the condition in the Gut, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Gut and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms such as gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Liver, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Liver and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms such as abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Heart, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Heart and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Lungs, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Lungs and thereby preventing recurrences of  symptoms such as cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.
TREATMENT EXECUTION PROCESS

PHASE 3: MAINTENANCE

Integrated & Holistic Wellness

Objectives for Maintenance:

The last thing a patient would want after regaining his health (after his/her treatment in Heal Within®), is to experience a recurrence of that disease or an occurrence of another chronic disease in the future; which would certainly be the case if the patient goes back to the same lifestyle patterns that caused the environment around organ-cells to turn unhealthy and thereby resulted in disease.

Therefore, the objectives of this Phase 3 Maintenance are:

  1. Help the patient maintain a healthy lifestyle, by helping them adhere to a healthy lifestyle plan.

  2. Periodically monitor the patient’s condition by medical tests to make sure he/she is still healthy and immune against any chronic disease.

So to cumulatively help the patient experience optimal health & high quality of life long-term.

Contents in Maintenance:

1: Healthy lifestyle plan

Here, doctor tailors a healthy lifestyle plan for the patient to adhere to. This plan comprises of the following:

  1. Wholesome food
  2. List of foods to eat, and which to avoid
  3. Full spectrum nutrition
  4. Probiotics
  5. Bio-id hormones (if needed)
  1. Cardiovascular exercise
  2. Muscular-skeletal development exercise
  3. Periodic detoxification
  4. Mediation & mind-emotional control
  5. Rest

All the necessary products (nutrition, probiotics, etc.) are provided, and a dedicated nurse is assigned to the patient who can be reached by the patient for any needed support.

2: Periodic medical tests for on-going monitoring

The patient’s health condition is monitored on-going at periodic intervals to make sure that the patients is continuously healthy & immune against any potential chronic disease; thereby helping the patient experience optimal health & high quality of life long-term. Following are the tests used for on-going monitoring:

  1. Live Blood Analysis
  2. Dry Blood Analysis
  3. 12 Internal Organs Scan by Digital Meridian Analysis
  4. Heart Variability Test
  5. ECG Test
  1. Body Composition Analysis
  2. Urine Dipstick
  3. Saliva Test
  4. Free Radical Urine Test
  5. Dental Evaluation & Oral Examination

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
FOR DISEASE & TREATMENT

Dr Lee's Foundational Principles for understanding
how diseases happen, and how to treat any disease.

Dr Lee's Foundational Principles for understanding how disease happens, and how to treat any disease.

PRINCIPLES FOR DISEASE

DISEASE PRINCIPLE 1

An unhealthy condition in any one or more of the major organs is the cause to all disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality.

(i.e. All disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality, are just consequential effects of any one or more of the major organs being in an unhealthy condition.)

When all the major organs in an individual are in a healthy condition, the entire body system works well and one feels totally healthy and has no disease symptoms, no aches, no pains, and has vitality.

And on the other hand, when any one or more of the internal major organs transforms from a healthy condition to an unhealthy condition, it directly results into one experiencing disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, and lowered vitality.

The various unhealthy conditions that the major organs can have are: mucus accumulation, acidosis, disbiosys, infection, hypertrophy, hypotrophy, inflammation, fat saturation, crystallisation (stones), plaque formation & accumulation, blood clots, fibrosis, cirrhosis, cancer, degeneration, rupture/trauma, and organ-failure. When a major organ has any one or more of these unhealthy conditions, it directly results in symptoms – aches, pains & lowered vitality.

The following graphic illustrates this principle:

Examples:

  • Gut disbiosys/acidosis is a unhealthy condition in the gut, which results in symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.

  • Fatty liver is an unhealthy condition in the liver, which results in symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.

  • Heart atherosclerosis is an unhealthy condition in the heart in which plaque accumulates and blocks the heart arteries, which results in symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.

  • Bronchitis is an unhealthy condition in the lungs, which results in symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

DISEASE PRINCIPLE 2

An abnormal state in one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health*, is the Root Cause to all unhealthy conditions in major organs.

(i.e. all unhealthy conditions in major organs are just consequential effects of an abnormal state in any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health*.)

The major organs do to change to an unhealthy condition magically; something else abnormal needs to happen in the body first, which then causes the major organs to change into an abnormal condition. Those abnormalities that happen first are within a set of ten foundational factors that Dr Lee calls 10 Pillars of Health.

Dr Lee calls these factors 10 Pillars of Health because these are the ten foundational factors that govern the condition & function of all major organs, and thereby the foundational factors that govern the overall health of the individual.

Here are the 10 Pillars of Health:

When any one or more of these 10 Pillars of Health* are in an abnormal state, it directly results in unhealthy conditions in one or more of the major organs, and then consequentially results in disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, & lowered vitality.

Specifically that means, the root causes to abnormal conditions in all major organs, is any one or more of these: (1) Bad food diet, lack of essential nutrition, bad gut environment (2) Too much internal toxicity, & highly toxic external environment; (3) Poor blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Abnormal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Hormonal imbalances; (6) Low base-cell* levels; (7) Abnormal mitochondrial function; (8) Abnormal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Stressed state of mind & emotions; (10) Poor physical activity & lifestyle. When you have any one or more of these 10 Pillars in an abnormal state per described here, the natural consequence is good health.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in an Abnormal State

For example, when any one or more of the 10 Pillars are in an abnormal state, it results in:

  • Unhealthy Gut condition of disbiosys/acidosis, and thereby results in symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.

  • Unhealthy Liver condition of fatty liver, and thereby results in symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.

  • Unhealthy Heart condition of atherosclerosis, and thereby results in symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.

  • Unhealthy Lung condition of
    bronchitis, and thereby results in symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

PRINCIPLES FOR TREATMENT

TREATMENT PRINCIPLE 1

Restoring all major organs to their healthy condition, results in resolving all symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality.

(i.e. Normal health & vitality is just a consequential effect of all major organs being restored to their healthy condition.)

As explained above under ‘Principles for Disease’, when any one or more of the major organs transforms from a healthy to an unhealthy condition, it directly results in symptoms – aches, pains, & lowered vitality.

And on the other hand, when all the major organs in an individual are in a healthy condition, the entire body system works well and one feels totally healthy and has no symptoms – no aches, no pains, & vitality.

Therefore in the context of effectively treating diseases, all diseases can be effectively treated, simply by restoring all unhealthy major organs from an unhealthy condition to their healthy condition, which then results in resolving all disease symptoms, aches, pains, & discomforts, & and restoring vitality.

The following graphic illustrates this principle:

Examples:

  • When the Gut is normalised from disbiosys/acidosis, i.e. restored from an unhealthy disbiosys/acidosis condition to its healthy condition, it results in resolving symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • When the Liver is normalised from fatty-liver, i.e. restored from an unhealthy fatty-liver condition to its healthy condition, it results in resolving symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness, mental confusion, etc.
  • When the Heart is normalised from atherosclerosis, i.e. restored from an unhealthy atherosclerosis condition to its normal condition, it results in resolving symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • When the Lungs are normalised from bronchitis, i.e. restored from an unhealthy bronchitis condition to its healthy condition, it results in resolving symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

TREATMENT PRINCIPLE 2

Normalising all 10 Pillars of Health*, results in restoring all major organs to their healthy condition.

(i.e. normal conditions in all major organs is a consequential effect of normal states in all the 10 Pillars of Health*.)

As explained above under ‘Principles for Disease’, when any one or more of the 10 Pillars of Health transforms from its normal state to an abnormal state, it directly results in a transformation of one or more major organs from their healthy condition to an unhealthy condition.

And on the other hand, when all the 10 Pillars of Health are normalised, it directly results into a restoration of all major organs from any unhealthy condition to their healthy condition.

Therefore in the context of effectively treating diseases, all diseases can be effectively treated simply by restoring all 10 Pillars of Health to their normal states, which then results in all major organs being restored to their healthy condition, and consequentially results in resolving all disease symptoms, aches, pains, & discomforts, and restoring vitality.

Normalising all 10 Pillars of Health specifically means thus: (1) Wholesome food diet, full spectrum nutrition, clean & healthy gut; (2) Minimal internal toxicity, non-toxic external environment; (3) Normal blood & lymph circulation and oxygenation; (4) Normal brain & nerve regulation; (5) Normal hormonal levels; (6) Healthy base-cell* levels; (7) Normal mitochondrial function; (8) Normal genetics & epigenetics; (9) Normal state of mind & emotions; (10) Normal physical activity & lifestyle. When you have all 10 Pillars normalised per this manner, the natural consequence is good health.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in their Normal State

For example, when all 10 Pillars are normalised, it results in:

  • Normalising the Gut from disbiosys/acidosis, i.e. the gut is restored from an unhealthy disbiosys/acidosis condition to its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Normalising the Liver from fatty-liver, i.e. the liver is restored from an unhealthy fatty-liver condition to its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • Normalising the Heart from atherosclerosis, i.e. the heart is restored from an unhealthy atherosclerosis condition to its normal condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Normalising the Lungs from bronchitis, i.e. the lungs are restored from an unhealthy bronchitis condition to its healthy condition, and thereby consequentially results in resolving symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

PRINCIPLE FOR RECURRENCE PREVENTION & OPTIMAL HEALTH

Optimising all 10 Pillars of Health*, results in optimising the condition & function in all major organs, and thereby results in preventing recurrence of past diseases and occurrences of any other chronic disease in the future, ultimately resulting in long-term optimal health & high quality of life.

As explained above, good health is natural effect of normal states in all the 10 Pillars of Health*; and, disease is a natural effect of an abnormal state in any one or more of these 10 Pillars of Health*.

And now to logically add to that principle, optimal health & long-term wellbeing (no recurrences of past diseases, and no occurrences of other diseases) is a natural effect of improving all 10 Pillars of Health* to their optimal state.

When all the 10 Pillars of Health* are optimised, then all major organs further improve to their optimal condition & function, and thereby recurrences of past diseases and occurrences of other diseases are prevented, and one can experience on-going optimal health, long-term wellbeing, and a high quality of life.

The following graphics illustrate this principle:

10 Pillars of Health in their Optimal State

For example, when all 10 Pillars are optimised, it results in:

  • Optimising the condition in the Gut, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Gut and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms of gastric stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, IBS, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Liver, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Liver and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen abdomen and legs, tiredness or mental confusion, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Heart, and thereby consequentially results in preventing preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Heart and thereby preventing recurrences of symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, tiredness, etc.
  • Optimising the condition in the Lungs, and thereby consequentially results in preventing recurrences of any unhealthy condition in the Lungs and thereby preventing recurrences of  symptoms of cough with phlegm, breathlessness, tiredness, chest discomfort etc.

CONCLUSIVE PRINCIPLES

CONCLUSIVE PRINCIPLE 1

Therefore, diseases can effectively treated only by doing these three necessary steps:
RESTORE MAJOR ORGANS TO HEALTHY CONDITION

Treat the causes to the patient’s disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, & lowered vitality (Unhealthy conditions in major organs are the cause to disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality).

Treat the causes to the patient’s disease symptoms, aches, pains, discomforts, & lowered vitality (Unhealthy conditions in major organs are the cause to disease symptoms, aches, pains, & lowered vitality).

NORMALISE ALL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH

Treat the root causes to the unhealthy conditions in the patient’s major organs, and thereby induce holistic healing (Abnormal states in 10 Pillars of Health are the root cause to unhealthy conditions in major organs).

Treat the root causes to the unhealthy conditions in the patient’s major organs, and thereby induce holistic healing (Abnormal states in 10 Pillars of Health are the root cause to unhealthy conditions in major organs).

OPTIMISE ALL 10 PILLARS OF HEALTH

Optimise the condition & function of the patient’s every major organ, optimise immunity, and thereby prevent disease recurrences, and induce optimal health & high quality of life.

Optimise the condition & function of the patient’s every major organ, optimise immunity, and thereby prevent disease recurrences, and induce optimal health & high quality of life.

Doing the above 3 necessary steps is the only way to achieve holistic healing, recurrence prevention, and long-term wellbeing.

CONCLUSIVE PRINCIPLE 2

Therefore, Integrated & Holistic Treatment is the only way toward holistic healing, recurrence prevention, and long-term wellbeing.

As established above under ‘Conclusive Principle 1’, effective treatment of any disease can only be achieved by these 3 necessary steps: (1) Normalise the condition of the diseased major organ, (2) Normalise all 10 Pillars of Health*, and thereby treat the Root Causes to any unhealthy condition in all major organs, and (3) Optimise the condition & function in all major organs by optimising all the 10 Pillars of Health*.

No one therapy or treatment modality can help complete all three necessary steps; an integration (combination) of various therapies is necessary for this.

Therefore Integrated & Holistic Treatment is necessary, and is the only way toward effective treatment of any disease.

The following graphic illustrates this conclusive principle:

Integrated & Holistic Treatment
is the strategic integration of multiple therapies
for achieving holistic healing, recurrence prevention
and long-term optimal-health & well-being.
