Kim Hush Shares How She Started Feeling Like Herself Again  Hi, my name is Kim, and like a lot of people out there, I was at my wits end when it came to the medical profession. My daughter was 5 months old when I finally admitted that there was something different going on with my moods, so I talked with my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Lorazepam – 1mg and I was to take it three times a day. Well this didn’t seem to touch my moods, and my husband thought that it may even have been making them worse, so I talked with my doctor again, and he sent me to a psychiatrist. The Psychiatrist was quick to diagnose me with manic depression or more commonly known as Bi-Polar. He prescribed Lithium-carbonate to me, 300 mg – I was to take two at bedtime. So I took them, for quite a while, and I would go to my appointments faithfully and I would say to him that I didn’t think it was working, and he would say it takes at least three months for the lithium to take effect on your body, so to stick with it and we will analyze when we pass the three month mark. Well come the three months, either I was going to live or my husband was going to live, we were at each others throats constantly I was worse than I had been before, and I brought him to my next appointment with the Psychiatrist to attest to this. The doc sat down with my husband and proceeded to explain to my husband “what I was going through” as if he had any clue. And then when he was finished, my husband proceeded to tell him what HE was going through, and so the doc decided that maybe things weren’t working like they should, so he increased my dose of Lithium-carbonate to 300 mg twice daily, equaling 1200 mg of Lithium going into my body. This continued for another couple months and things got worse, the fighting with my husband was even more consistent and always over my moods and why the medication wasn’t working. I drug him along to my next appointment, and again him and the doc had it out, the Psychiatrist then wrote out a prescription for Risperded (if I am reading his writing properly), which as he explained to me is an anti-psychotic used to treat patients with Schizophrenia, we would start at a low dose he told me and increase from there. The dose was .25mg, once a day.
I walked out of that office that day, very confused, how could all of a sudden I morph into some sort of unlovable creature? As I made my way down the stairs I had made the decision not to fill that prescription and that I was going to wean myself off these other things I was taking and find out what was really wrong, before I lost my marriage over it.
So there I was, sitting in the vehicle explaining to my husband what the ‘doc’ wanted me to do, and what I thought I should do. My husbands only comment was, that what he was treating me with now, wasn’t working it was getting worse, so stopping was something that he supported me in. I continued for a couple more weeks on the meds, not filling the Risperded, hoping that at some point the meds would finally kick in and I would ‘get better’. I didn’t, at least not with the help of the drugs anyway. I was thinking that maybe I should do some sort of Detox to my body, some sort of cleanse maybe things were just out of whack. Maybe my hormones were out of balance, so I started to do research on the internet for all sorts of things looking for some type of answer that may help me – and then I got called to work, which requires me to travel, so I brought the meds along not wanting to chance some sort of chemical withdrawal during work. During this trip I was visiting with a friend, she looked the best I had ever seen her look, as long as I had known her – and she was a body builder, so she always looked good. I asked her what she was doing, and she said it was probably her protec and protrim. So I inquired to Pat and she explained what they were all about, I didn’t need any information, I had seen it on my friend. So I bit, and thought to myself, I had spent lots of money on other things that didn’t work, if this was going to be another one, so be it, I had nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain.
I had family that was writing me off because they wanted nothing to do with me, they thought I was so mean and not a very nice person to be around, so if this could help with that than that was worth the moon and stars to me. Not to mention the night sweats, the mood swings, the anxiety, the depression, the weight gain, the irritability, the hair loss, the insomnia and all the other things that were piling up, if I could just get rid of half of them, I thought, I’ll be laughing.
I started that night with the ProHM, I also quit my Lithium that night, and the next day started my ProTec. Nothing happened; I didn’t go through any withdrawal, I slept fine, and unlike the night before – I didn’t wake in the middle of the night soaked with sweat. I continued on, and went home feeling a bit sluggish, but Pat told me that it was a sign the toxins were moving out of my body, stick with it and I would be ok. So I did. I probably called Pat three times a day for two weeks asking every question that came to my mind, but after those two weeks, I started to feel like I could tackle the world and anything it threw at me. My husband was amazed with my moods, they were consistent and great! He was the one complaining that he wasn’t getting enough sleep anymore … the ProHM helped more than just my mood swings – I had the libido of an alley cat. I told him that all his married friends would kill to be complaining about what he was complaining about so suck it up!
After those two weeks I started to notice that my mental clarity was like I remembered it to be, I actually had a memory again. I found myself tackling things that would normally take me three days to accomplish, and now I was getting them done in an afternoon. I wanted to be around people, I actually wanted to get up in the morning and face the day, not throw the covers over my head and beg for sleep to take over my body and pass the day away. I had also started to take the ProTrim after those two weeks, and though my body could only handle once a day I found it made a difference. In the first month and three days I had lost six and a half inches off my waist, two off my hips and 20 pounds! A lot of fluid, my hands weren’t swollen in the morning, and if I stood too long in a day, I didn’t have to worry about my feet swelling. My back was feeling better – I could go on and on. But the bottom line is, I saw more improvement in the first week of taking these products, than I saw after seven months of taking powerful medications and having lots of side effects but no improvements.
So I am here to tell you, I am still married, we just welcomed our second child, a son, in the middle of January (Thanks ProHM!) I am taking the ProHM and Protec, and not experiencing any of the depression that I had with my daughter. I am able to tackle major tasks and still feel confident that I am taking care of my children.
Now not everyone will have the problems like I had, or will need to take care of so many different things at once, but my point is just that – I was bad off. I didn’t have many more options out there after those meds, things were very grim – and yet with something as small and inexpensive (compared to all the meds I was taking) as the Peoplesway products, I am here today to tell you, you have nothing to lose. Trust me, I know. But you do have everything to gain. And even if you have less night sweats, or lose only 5 pounds in the first month – isn’t it better than what you were doing before? Not everyone’s’ story will be as extreme as mine – but my story shows that there is hope out there for those that think they are at the end – and have tried everything. You have nothing to lose. Take it from someone who knows rock bottom – it’s not nice to be down there, but the climb back up is well worth it.
Take Care & God Bless;
Kim
