Have you been tested for heavy metals and received “normal” results, yet you still suffer from chronic fatigue, brain fog, or mysterious health problems that won’t resolve?

What if standard blood tests are missing up to 90% of your actual toxic burden?

Could the real source of your chronic illness be hiding in places that conventional testing never examines?

Here’s the unsettling truth: Most patients who come to Heal Within have already been told their heavy metal levels are “normal” by conventional doctors. Yet these same patients suffer from debilitating chronic conditions that mysteriously resolve once we identify and treat their actual heavy metal burden.

The problem isn’t in your head. The problem is that standard blood tests measure the wrong thing in the wrong place.

Your body is brilliantly protective. When toxic heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic enter your bloodstream, your body immediately shuttles them out and locks them away in fatty tissues, bones, and organs. This keeps your blood clean – which is exactly why standard blood tests give you false reassurance while toxins silently damage your health from their hidden storage sites.

In this article, I will reveal why conventional heavy metal testing fails, where your body actually hides these toxins, and how Heal Within’s integrative approach uncovers the hidden burden that may be destroying your health.

Why Do Standard Blood Tests for Heavy Metals Give False Negatives?

If you’ve ever received “normal” heavy metal test results while still experiencing chronic symptoms, you’re not alone. Standard blood tests measure only what’s circulating in your bloodstream at the moment of testing, which represents a tiny fraction of your total toxic burden.

BLOOD REFLECTS RECENT EXPOSURE, NOT TOTAL BURDEN

Standard blood tests provide only a momentary snapshot that misses the real story:

  • Snapshot of acute exposure: Standard blood tests only capture heavy metals currently circulating in your bloodstream, which primarily reflects exposure from the last few days or weeks, not the accumulated burden from years or decades of exposure.

  • Extremely short detection window: Most toxic heavy metals have a blood half-life of only hours to days, meaning they rapidly leave the bloodstream and deposit into tissues, making them invisible to standard blood testing within a very short timeframe.

  • Misleading “normal” results: A patient could have severe tissue accumulation of mercury, lead, or cadmium built up over 20-30 years, yet their blood test shows “normal” because they haven’t had fresh exposure in recent weeks.

  • Timing-dependent false negatives: If you test your blood even a few days after exposure stopped, most heavy metals will have already migrated into tissue storage, giving you a falsely reassuring “normal” result while your tissue burden remains dangerously high.

  • Chronic vs. acute exposure patterns: Standard blood tests excel at detecting acute poisoning events (like occupational exposure or contaminated water incidents) but completely fail to identify the chronic, gradual accumulation that affects most people over their lifetime.

THE BODY PRIORITIZES BLOOD PURITY

Your body has a survival strategy that makes standard blood tests fundamentally unreliable:

  • Blood is sacred territory: Your body treats the bloodstream as critical infrastructure that must remain as clean as possible to protect vital organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys from immediate toxic damage.

  • Active detoxification from blood: Within hours of heavy metal exposure, your body’s detoxification systems work aggressively to remove these toxins from circulation through liver metabolism, kidney filtration, and active transport into storage tissues.

  • Storage is a protective mechanism: Rather than allowing heavy metals to continuously recirculate and damage vital systems, your intelligent body locks them away in less critical tissues like fatty deposits, bone matrix, connective tissues, and organs with lower metabolic priority.

  • Rapid clearance creates false security: Your body’s efficiency at clearing heavy metals from blood (usually within 24-72 hours) is exactly what makes blood testing unreliable – the toxins are quickly hidden away before they can be detected.

  • Homeostatic blood regulation: Your body maintains tight homeostatic control over blood composition, actively preventing heavy metal accumulation in circulation even as tissues become increasingly saturated with these toxins.

REFERENCE RANGES DON'T ACCOUNT FOR TISSUE BURDEN

The standards used to interpret blood tests were never designed to detect chronic toxicity:

  1. Designed for acute poisoning: Standard blood test reference ranges were developed to detect recent acute exposure or occupational poisoning, not the chronic low-level accumulation that causes most modern health problems.

  2. No correlation with symptoms: Studies show that blood levels often don’t correlate with the severity of chronic symptoms like fatigue, cognitive decline, or immune dysfunction, because these symptoms arise from tissue accumulation, not circulating levels.

  3. Different metals, different kinetics: Each heavy metal behaves differently in the body – mercury accumulates in brain and kidney tissue, lead in bones and teeth, cadmium in kidneys and liver – yet standard blood tests treat them all the same way without accounting for tissue-specific storage patterns.

  4. Population averages vs. individual burden: Reference ranges are based on population averages that include people with varying degrees of toxic exposure, meaning “normal” often just means “average for a toxin-exposed population,” not “safe” or “optimal.”

  5. No threshold for chronic effects: Many heavy metals cause cellular dysfunction and chronic disease at levels far below what conventional reference ranges consider “abnormal,” meaning you can be within normal range while experiencing significant toxic effects.

Where Does Your Body Actually Store Heavy Metals?

Understanding where your body stores heavy metals is crucial to understanding why standard blood tests fail. These toxic elements don’t simply disappear – they accumulate in specific tissues where they can remain for years or even decades, silently causing dysfunction and disease.

FATTY TISSUES ARE PRIMARY STORAGE SITES

Your fat cells become toxic waste repositories that standard testing never examines:

  • Lipophilic nature of metals: Many heavy metals, particularly mercury and cadmium, are lipophilic (fat-loving), meaning they preferentially partition into fatty tissues including adipose deposits, myelin sheaths around nerves, and cell membranes throughout the body.
  • Long-term sequestration: Once deposited in fatty tissues, heavy metals can remain stored for years or decades, slowly leaching out in tiny amounts that cause chronic inflammation and cellular dysfunction without ever showing up on standard blood tests.
  • Difficult to mobilize: Fatty tissue acts like a toxic reservoir that resists normal detoxification pathways, which is why weight loss in toxic individuals often triggers symptom flares as stored metals are released faster than the body can eliminate them.
  • Cell membrane disruption: Heavy metals embedded in cell membranes throughout your body interfere with cellular signaling, nutrient transport, and energy production, causing widespread dysfunction that conventional doctors attribute to “unknown causes.”
  • Brain tissue vulnerability: Your brain is approximately 60% fat, making it a preferential storage site for lipophilic heavy metals like mercury, which accumulate in brain tissue and contribute to cognitive decline, mood disorders, and neurological symptoms.
  • Protective but problematic: While storing toxins in fat protects vital organs short-term, this creates a long-term toxic burden that continuously leaches small amounts back into circulation, maintaining chronic low-level poisoning that eludes blood testing.

BONE MATRIX ACCUMULATES LEAD AND CADMIUM

Your skeleton becomes a toxic time bomb that releases poison during life transitions:

  • Lead’s affinity for bone: Lead mimics calcium at the molecular level and gets incorporated into bone matrix where it can remain for 20-30 years, with a half-life in bone of approximately 20 years compared to just 28 days in blood.
  • Mobilization during bone turnover: Stored lead is released back into circulation during periods of increased bone remodeling – pregnancy, lactation, menopause, osteoporosis, or chronic illness – causing symptoms to appear or worsen even without new exposure.
  • Cadmium in trabecular bone: Cadmium also accumulates in bone tissue where it interferes with calcium metabolism, increases fracture risk, and contributes to osteoporosis while remaining completely hidden from standard blood testing.
  • Childhood exposure, adult disease: Lead absorbed during childhood gets locked into growing bones and remains there for decades, then releases during middle age and elderly years when bone turnover increases, causing “mysterious” health problems that doctors never connect to childhood exposure.
  • Pregnancy complications: Women who accumulated lead in their bones during youth experience remobilization during pregnancy when calcium demands increase, exposing the developing fetus to toxins from the mother’s past rather than recent exposure.
  • Exercise-induced release: High-impact exercise and bone-stressing activities can increase bone turnover and lead release, which explains why some people feel worse rather than better when they start exercise programs despite doing “everything right.”

ORGANS CONCENTRATE SPECIFIC TOXINS

Different heavy metals target different organs, creating tissue-specific damage invisible to blood tests:

  1. Mercury in brain and kidneys: Methylmercury crosses the blood-brain barrier and accumulates in brain tissue, particularly in the cerebellum and visual cortex, while inorganic mercury concentrates in kidney tubules, causing neurological and renal dysfunction that persists long after blood levels normalize.
  2. Arsenic in liver and skin: Arsenic accumulates primarily in liver tissue where it interferes with cellular energy production and methylation pathways, and in keratin-rich tissues like skin, hair, and nails, contributing to chronic fatigue and skin disorders.
  3. Cadmium in kidneys: Cadmium shows particular affinity for renal cortex tissue where it causes progressive kidney damage with a biological half-life of 10-30 years, meaning exposure from decades ago continues causing harm today.
  4. Organ-specific dysfunction: Each organ that stores heavy metals experiences localized toxicity – mercury in the thyroid causes hormonal imbalances, lead in blood vessel walls contributes to hypertension, cadmium in the pancreas affects insulin function and diabetes risk.
  5. Bioaccumulation over decades: Unlike blood which clears metals within days, organs accumulate these toxins throughout your lifetime, with concentration increasing year after year, creating progressive organ dysfunction that worsens with age.
  6. Enzyme and protein binding: Heavy metals bind tightly to sulfur-containing proteins and enzymes within organ tissues, disrupting thousands of biochemical reactions simultaneously and creating the complex, multi-system symptoms that characterize chronic metal toxicity.

What Is Provoked Heavy Metal Testing and How Does It Produce Accurate Results?

At Heal Within, we use a diagnostic approach called provoked testing that reveals the true heavy metal burden hiding in your tissues. This method provides information that standard blood tests simply cannot capture – the accumulated toxic load stored in your body over years or decades.

THE PROVOKED TESTING PRINCIPLE

Instead of measuring what’s already in your blood, we bring hidden toxins out of storage:

  • Mobilization before measurement: Unlike standard testing that measures only what’s circulating, provoked testing uses a specialized chelating compound to actively pull heavy metals out of tissue storage sites into the bloodstream where they can be measured accurately.
  • Revealing the hidden burden: The chelating agent acts like a molecular magnet, binding to heavy metals stored in fatty tissues, bones, and organs, and temporarily bringing them into circulation so we can quantify how much has actually accumulated over the years.
  • Tissue burden vs. circulating levels: This approach shifts focus from measuring the tiny amount in blood at any given moment to measuring the total body burden that has been hiding in tissues, which is what actually causes chronic health problems.
  • Integrative medicine approach: While conventional medicine focuses on acute poisoning detection, integrative medicine recognizes that chronic low-level accumulation causes most modern health problems, requiring different diagnostic methods to identify tissue-stored toxins.
  • Mimicking natural mobilization: The provoked test essentially accelerates what happens naturally during weight loss, bone turnover, or illness – when stored metals release into circulation – but in a controlled, measurable way that reveals your true toxic burden.
  • Diagnostic clarity: For the first time, patients see the actual quantity of heavy metals their bodies have been storing, which explains symptoms that conventional doctors dismissed as “normal aging” or “stress-related” when standard blood tests showed nothing.

THE TESTING PROTOCOL AT HEAL WITHIN

Our systematic approach ensures accurate assessment of your heavy metal burden:

  • Baseline measurement first: We begin by collecting a baseline urine or blood sample before any chelating agent is administered, which establishes your circulating levels and provides a comparison point for the provoked results.
  • Chelating agent administration: A carefully selected chelating compound is administered either orally or intravenously, depending on which metals we’re testing for and your individual health status – this agent is specifically chosen to mobilize tissue-stored heavy metals.
  • Collection period: After the chelating agent is given, urine is collected over the next 6-24 hours as the agent binds to tissue-stored metals and facilitates their excretion through the kidneys.
  • Comparative analysis: We measure heavy metal levels in both the baseline and provoked samples, with the difference revealing how much has been hiding in your tissues versus what was already circulating.
  • Multi-metal screening: The provoked test simultaneously measures multiple heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and others, providing a comprehensive toxic burden profile rather than testing for just one metal at a time.
  • Personalized protocol: The specific chelating agent, dosage, and collection timing are tailored to your individual situation based on your symptoms, exposure history, kidney function, and overall health status to ensure both safety and accuracy.

WHAT THE RESULTS REVEAL

Provoked testing provides critical information that transforms your treatment approach:

  • True toxic burden quantification: The provoked results show the actual quantity of each heavy metal stored in your tissues, not just what happens to be circulating, giving us a realistic picture of your total body burden.
  • Source identification: By identifying which specific metals are elevated, we can often trace your exposure sources – dental amalgams (mercury), old paint or pipes (lead), contaminated water (arsenic), cigarette smoke (cadmium) – and address ongoing exposure.
  • Symptom correlation: When we see high tissue burdens of specific metals that are known to cause your exact symptoms – mercury causing neurological issues, lead causing hypertension, cadmium causing kidney problems – we finally have the explanation conventional testing missed.
  • Treatment planning: The provoked test results tell us precisely which chelating protocols to use, in what sequence, and for how long, allowing us to design a personalized detoxification program rather than guessing or using generic protocols.
  • Progress monitoring: Follow-up provoked tests during treatment show us how effectively your body is releasing and eliminating stored metals, allowing us to adjust protocols and confirm when detoxification is complete.
  • Multi-system connection: Often patients discover they have multiple heavy metal burdens that explain why they suffer from such diverse symptoms affecting different body systems – the provoked test reveals the common toxic thread connecting seemingly unrelated health problems.

How Does Heal Within's Integrative Approach Address Heavy Metal Toxicity?

Once we’ve identified your true heavy metal burden through provoked testing, the real healing begins. At Heal Within, we don’t just remove toxins – we restore your body’s natural detoxification capacity, repair the damage caused by years of toxic accumulation, and optimize your organs to prevent future toxicity.

COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSIS WITH PROVOKED TESTING

We start where conventional medicine stops – with accurate detection of tissue-stored toxins:

  1. Complete toxic burden assessment: Beyond just testing for heavy metals, we evaluate your body’s overall toxic load including environmental chemicals, assess your detoxification capacity, and identify which organs have been most affected by chronic metal accumulation. This comprehensive approach aligns with our philosophy of treating root causes to diseases rather than just managing symptoms.
  2. Root cause identification: We use provoked testing results to trace your exposure sources – whether from dental amalgams, contaminated food or water, occupational exposure, or environmental pollution – and address ongoing exposure that would undermine detoxification efforts.
  3. Individual susceptibility factors: We assess genetic variations in detoxification enzymes, nutritional deficiencies that impair metal excretion, gut dysfunction that increases absorption, and other factors that explain why some people accumulate more toxins than others despite similar exposure.
  4. Organ function evaluation: Through comprehensive testing, we determine which organs have been damaged by metal accumulation – liver function, kidney filtration capacity, nervous system integrity, hormonal balance – so we can support these systems during detoxification.
  5. Symptom-burden correlation: We map your specific symptoms to the metals found in your provoked test, explaining why you experience fatigue (cadmium affecting mitochondria), brain fog (mercury in brain tissue), or hypertension (lead in blood vessels) when conventional doctors found “nothing wrong.”
  6. Baseline for treatment monitoring: The initial provoked test becomes our baseline to measure progress throughout treatment, showing objectively how much toxic burden we’ve successfully eliminated and when your tissues have been adequately cleared.

PERSONALIZED CHELATION THERAPY PROTOCOLS

We design individualized detoxification protocols based on your specific toxic burden and health status:

  1. Targeted chelation selection: Based on your provoked test results, we select specific chelating agents that are most effective for your particular metal burden – different chelators for mercury versus lead versus cadmium – rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
  2. Graduated intensity protocols: We begin with gentle detoxification protocols and gradually increase intensity as your body’s elimination pathways strengthen, avoiding the “detox crisis” that occurs when toxins mobilize faster than your body can safely eliminate them.
  3. Multi-phase approach: Our chelation therapy typically progresses through phases – first opening detoxification pathways, then mobilizing stored metals, then supporting elimination, and finally restoring organ function – each phase building on the previous to ensure safe, effective detoxification.
  4. Combination therapy strategy: We integrate multiple chelation methods including IV chelation therapy for deep tissue detoxification, oral chelating agents for ongoing maintenance, and natural chelating foods and supplements to support your body’s own detoxification mechanisms.
  5. Protective nutrient support: During chelation, we provide essential minerals like zinc, selenium, and magnesium to prevent depletion of beneficial minerals, antioxidants to protect against oxidative stress from metal mobilization, and nutrients to support liver and kidney function.
  6. Individualized timing and dosing: Your chelation schedule is customized based on your kidney function, liver capacity, toxic burden severity, symptom tolerance, and life circumstances – some patients need intensive protocols while others require slower, gentler approaches.

WHOLE-BODY DETOXIFICATION AND RESTORATION

We treat the whole person, not just the toxic burden:

  1. Detoxification pathway optimization: We enhance your body’s natural elimination routes through liver support, kidney function optimization, lymphatic drainage, gut healing, and skin detoxification, ensuring your body can safely process and eliminate the metals we mobilize.
  2. Nutritional restoration: Years of heavy metal accumulation deplete essential nutrients and damage cellular function, so we provide comprehensive nutritional therapy including IV nutrition, oral supplementation, and wholesome food therapy to rebuild nutritional reserves.
  3. Gut microbiome healing: We address gut dysbiosis that both contributes to metal accumulation (leaky gut increases absorption) and results from it (metals kill beneficial bacteria), using probiotics, prebiotics, and gut-healing protocols to restore healthy intestinal function.
  4. Mitochondrial repair: Heavy metals severely damage mitochondria (your cellular energy factories), so we use targeted nutrients and therapies to restore mitochondrial function, which is essential for both energy production and continued detoxification capacity.
  5. Anti-inflammatory protocols: We reduce the systemic inflammation caused by chronic metal toxicity through detoxification therapy, antioxidant support, herbal anti-inflammatories, and therapies like Far-Infrared and Hydrogen therapy that calm inflammatory cascades.
  6. Ongoing prevention and maintenance: After initial detoxification, we provide maintenance protocols including periodic provoked testing to monitor for re-accumulation, dietary guidance to minimize future exposure, detoxification practices you can continue at home, and nutritional support to maintain optimal elimination capacity.

Summary and Conclusion

Standard heavy metal blood tests are fundamentally flawed because they measure only what’s circulating in your bloodstream at the moment of testing, missing the 90% of your toxic burden that’s hiding in tissues. Here are the key points from this article:

  • Your body protects vital organs by rapidly shuttling heavy metals out of blood and storing them in fatty tissues, bones, and organs where they remain for years or decades
  • Standard blood tests only detect recent acute exposure, not the chronic accumulation that causes most modern health problems
  • Heavy metals accumulate in specific tissues – mercury in brain and kidneys, lead in bones, cadmium in kidneys, arsenic in liver – creating organ-specific dysfunction invisible to blood testing
  • Provoked testing uses chelating agents to mobilize tissue-stored metals into circulation where they can be measured accurately, revealing your true toxic burden
  • Heal Within’s integrative approach combines accurate provoked testing, personalized chelation protocols, and whole-body restoration to eliminate hidden toxins and restore health

If you’ve been suffering from chronic fatigue, brain fog, unexplained pain, or other mysterious symptoms that conventional doctors can’t explain, and if standard blood tests have told you everything is “normal,” you now understand why those tests failed you. Your symptoms are real. Your toxic burden is real. It’s just hiding where conventional medicine never looks.

The question now is: will you continue accepting “normal” test results while your health deteriorates, or will you seek accurate testing that reveals the hidden burden destroying your health? At Heal Within, we’ve helped hundreds of patients finally get answers after years of misdiagnosis – answers that led to effective treatment and genuine healing.

Your body has been protecting you by storing these toxins away from vital organs, but that protection comes at a cost. It’s time to uncover what’s really happening inside your tissues and take action to reclaim your health.

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

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 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.

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

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
FOR DISEASE & TREATMENT

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.
