Dec 20, 2015

By: Michael


Shortly after birth in 1968 Michael was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis 1 and has undergone 20 plus surgeries.

For years Michael had high blood pressure spikes, profuse sweating episodes, pain, panic attacks and more that landed him in the ER and Dr offices OFTEN. This went undiagnosed for years and medical staff sent him home and even kicked him out of the ER.

Feeling worse, he sought out a ND, who while unable to fully diagnose him prescribed a detox tincture. It was during this treatment n 1999 when symptoms got worse and the medical team at Langley Memorial was able to find the cause.

In 1999 Michael was diagnosed with his first pheochromocytoma in the left adrenal gland and that was removed.

In 2004 the pheochromocytoma reappeared in L2. Had surgery to remove and fuse L1-L3. Followed up with 25 radiation sessions.

In 2011 Michael became a legal cannabis patient. He stopped taking pharmaceuticals for pain, depression etc and switched to organic cannabis and amino acids to mange symptoms - his quality of life improved significantly.
