Today is February 29, 2024 and it’s a leap year; I feel very lucky to be alive!
My story starts on January 8th of 2020 as my wife Mimi and I travel home from my company Top Performers Club trip.
I had just come off my best year ever for sales performance and was in the best condition health-wise that I had been in 2 decades. We were 2 years from retirement and life was great. As we returned home, my wife Mimi of 24 years got sick; she never gets sick. Two days later, I am sick and within days we are both fighting to breathe. I was admitted to the National Jewish Hospital to see a lung specialist. For five days I fought to breathe. Over the next three weeks, we both start to recover and the world starts to talk about Covid 19. Most of the people on our company trip came back with it and it knocked many of us out of working for a long period of time. We continued to recover over the next couple months and our health was getting back on track.
Then in November of 2020, I got Covid 19 for a 2nd time. This time was different as it was not my lungs but it seemed to be attacking my brain and nervous system. Everything hurt, I can’t eat, sleep, walk and daylight and sound are overwhelming. I can’t smell or taste anything; this goes on for weeks.
Doctors can’t see me as people are dying all around the country. Finally the worst of it is over and I think I’m starting to get better, the fever is broken and I can start to eat again; I feel as though I’m going to make it.
January of 2021 I am recovering but my energy is not coming back. My brain is not seeming to recover, I can’t seem to remember things and by noon each day I have to stop and go back to bed. The ringing in my ears is getting deafening, still can’t smell or taste anything. I have this burning nerve sensation throughout my body, don’t know what’s happening.
I spend the next year seeing Doctor after Doctor and no one has any ideas on how to help me.
I have now been to three neurologists and countless Doctors and clinics in Denver claiming to have success with the long-haul Covid, the kind of symptoms that I’m dealing with.
February of 2022 I start to look for alternative options for treatment as Western medicine seems to offer no hope. (I have many friends and coworkers suffering with similar issues and we are willing to try just about anything.)
We start to see a specialist that use herbal teas and even micro-dosing of mushrooms. I am going to a brain reset therapy program that uses sound to reprogram your brain to see if we can help get me back on track and reduce the ringing in my ears.
Another year and a half have gone by, we have spent several hundred thousand dollars and more then one thousand hours seeing everyone we can to try to get through this.
My energy has recovered slightly and I can start to work one shift a day bringing back some of my income and some of my general daily activities but still having to stop by mid-day and go back to bed.
It’s September 2023 and things are starting to slide back, I am losing weight (nearly 24lbs in under 3 weeks) and strength. I have thousands of tiny open scabs on me, I have shingles and I feel like I am not going to make it. My daughter asked me if I was going to die?
My wife Mimi (you have to read her Dr. Arlo Gordin chiropractic story it’s a medical miracle) saw a post by Dr. Arlo Gordin on FaceBook about the success he is having with Long Haul Covid patients. That day I set up a call with Dr Gordin and told him my story, he told me he could help! Two days later I jumped on a plane and flew to California to spend two weeks with him to see if there was any hope.
After getting full body X-rays and MRI’s along with his extensive hands on exams, we found my systems were shutting down. My adrenals were failing, my thyroid was almost nonexistent and my spinal cord was collapsing around my nervous system causing my internal organs to slowly shut down. He informed me that most of this was happening due to the spike proteins that’s found in Covid and without treatment it would only likely continue to get worse.
We started treatment that day and within a few days I started to feel a bit better.
For the 1st time since getting sick I felt like someone understood the issues and had a plan.
There was still a lot of damage done over the nearly 4 years and a lot of work to be done.
Things had gotten bad and Mimi and I knew we had to see this through, I dropped everything and moved to California for three months to work with Dr. Gordin as this had to work.
I continued on his adjustment and supplement program, I saw him most days for that time. I was getting better, my energy is back, my headaches are going away. I can start to taste again. I am putting weight back on and can work out again.
I am getting better!
I don’t fully understand all the things that were done during my sessions with Dr. Gordin; his techniques are amazing his knowledge of the body and how it’s works is beyond amazing. I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me and my family.
It’s Dec. 2023 I’m going home back to Denver I get my life back! Thank you!!!
Having spent many days for 3 months at his office I had the rare experience of getting to watch him work on hundreds of others. Besides the help he provided me, I watched him transform lives. His office is like a family to him, his patients will tell you; it’s nothing short of a miracle what he’s able to do to help. If you are struggling with anything in your life and can’t find any relief from the so called modern medical industry, Dr. Gordin probably has an answer for you!
