A patient went from chronic constipation to bleeding 17 times a day. A practitioner ordered $6,000 to $10,000 in tests and sold supplements without explanation, then prescribed aggressive herbal protocols that damaged her gut further. Dr. Joy Kong argues these approaches ignore root causes and trap patients in cycles of worsening health.
I went from chronic constipation to blood coming out of me 17 times a day. I had very bad club siela. I went to somebody who was looking for the money, would just say, hey, here's $6,000 to $10,000 worth of testing I want you to do, wouldn't really talk to you, and then would have their own supplement line and wouldn't even explain why you're taking it. And I ended up almost bedridden. I went from chronic constipation to blood coming out of me 17 times a day. They wouldn't hop on a protocol, and then they said, hey, let's retest you and see where you're at, everything multiplied. So when you kill off that little bit that we have left, that's when you lose even more resilience because herbs are so strong, just like antibiotics. And then you weaken your gut even more. And that's where I see women get in this hole of doing a kill protocol, not addressing the root and rebuilding the body back up, and then tests come back worse, and then they're just killing and repeating over and over with weakened gut and more bloating and more issues.
