“If it wasn’t for Dr. Young and Dr. Arneson at The Source, I would be dead right now. I was a huge party guy when I was young & drinking, doing every drug known to man and then some. I am a Vietnam Veteran from the Marine Corps and worked as a psychiatric nurse for 32 years. Recently, I suffered a broken back due to osteoporosis due to the breakdown of my bones. I already had liver cirrhosis and Hepatitis C, the added pain meds made my liver and spleen shut down. I was in acute liver failure. I was on death’s doorstep. I was yellow, my skin and my eyes, due to jaundice. I couldn’t get out of bed from the pain, taking 120mg of Morphine per day and still the pain was over 10/10. I couldn’t eat, sleep, shower, go to the bathroom. I wanted to die.
Dr. Young would go out of her way to make sure I received treatment. I received numerous nutritional IVs and many supplements. Today, I feel better than I have in years. According to my VA doctors and specialists, my liver enzymes have come down. I still have extensive liver damage but I am now healthy enough to qualify for a transplant, possibly extending and improving the quality of my life. My pain levels are a fraction of what they were a year and a half ago. I have more energy and a much better mood. My quality of life has definitely improved due to Dr. Young and from naturopathic medicine.”*
