1:51
Today's conversation is with holistic naturopathic practitioner, Tiffany
1:54
Bramblett, to talk about her book, Unbreaking the
1:57
Brain, The Natural Reversal of Autism, Alzheimer's, and
2:00
Autoimmune Disease.
2:03
She has a powerful natural protocol to reset
2:06
the system and unbreak the brain.
2:09
Tiffany, welcome so much to the Ten Penny
2:10
Files.
2:11
It's a pleasure to see you here.
2:13
Thank you for having me, Dr.
2:14
Tenpenny.
2:15
I appreciate you.
2:16
You know, in your book, Unbreaking the Brain,
2:19
you talk about your personal story, which is
2:21
quite a journey.
2:23
And tell us just kind of briefly your
2:27
journey from becoming having a very successful career
2:30
in music industry and becoming a naturopathic physician.
2:33
Wow.
2:35
So just to begin, our journey with natural
2:37
health started about 25 years ago.
2:40
And I say this.
2:45
Incredibly young, around the ages of four and
2:46
five.
2:48
My younger brother Tristan was diagnosed with moderate
2:51
to severe autism around the same time.
2:55
And he was nonverbal, aggressive.
2:58
Doctors said he would never be able to
2:59
speak or function.
3:02
And then we actually we did a lot
3:04
of natural health protocols in order to kind
3:06
of get him to where he was at,
3:08
which was about the mind of a four
3:10
or five year old for the better part
3:12
of the last two decades.
3:15
And fast forwarding into like the 2020s, my
3:17
grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia
3:20
in 2022.
3:22
By 2023, she was given 18 months to
3:24
live.
3:27
And so I had been a musician and
3:29
a touring musician for the better part of
3:32
eight years.
3:35
Whenever I believe it was, I was the
3:37
end of 2023, and God called me into
3:40
natural holistic medicine.
3:43
And I was like, that is the wildest
3:45
turn of events that has ever happened to
3:47
me, but I'm thankful for the call of
3:49
God because as I sit here now, my
3:51
conditions are intermission.
3:53
My grandmother's conditions are intermission.
3:55
She now, even with the Alzheimer's and vascular
3:57
dementia double diagnosis, she performs better cognitively than
4:00
most almost 80-year-olds.
4:02
And uh my brother is making not only
4:05
tremendous progress with his autism, but also he
4:08
had a severe um life-threatening epilepsy disorder.
4:11
And so we went from him being on
4:13
life support one year ago to not only
4:15
the seizures going away, but also many of
4:17
his autism symptoms.
4:19
So in hindsight, I mean, I absolutely love
4:21
my time in music.
4:23
I had a fantastic time there, and I
4:25
love the creative aspect of that.
4:28
But at heart, I've always been a writer.
4:30
I'm so thankful and so excited that God
4:31
has called me into this new chapter of
4:33
my life.
4:34
And uh the journey from here, uh, it's
4:37
all his doing, but you know, you did
4:39
mention uh that you mentioned that you were
4:41
diagnosed with OCD and ADHD, but you had
4:43
a lot of other things that were going
4:45
on.
4:48
You had an anxiety disorder, you had something
4:50
called dermatilomania, you had an eating disorder, POTS
4:53
syndrome, pandas from strep recurrent strep infections and
4:55
more.
4:58
And reading your increasingly difficult challenges that you
5:00
tried to struggle through them all on your
5:02
own.
5:04
And even though your mom, when you talk
5:06
about in your story, your mom had been
5:08
your powerful warrior advocate to get you out
5:10
of one school and into another school where
5:12
you started to flourish.
5:14
I'm curious to why you work so hard
5:16
to manage all of your internal struggles on
5:18
your own.
5:21
I definitely think that even from a young
5:22
age.
5:25
A lot of times whenever we have diagnoses,
5:27
such as ADHD or OCD, particularly that not
5:30
to say necessarily are forms in which that
5:32
we find that we can either work through
5:35
or manage to some degree.
5:37
So I actually ended up having a disorder
5:40
called Pan Slash Pandas, which is essentially where
5:44
um hyperimmune response causes um inflammation within the
5:47
brain and is causing neuropsychiatric symptoms.
5:50
And so anytime I was exposed to different
5:53
viruses, pathogens, strep, my system would do something
5:56
a little bit different.
5:59
And say for the longest time, up until
6:01
I was in about 11th grade of high
6:03
school, um, it was mainly strep and it
6:05
would cycle.
6:07
So this the um symptoms would get really
6:10
severe for a brief period of time, and
6:12
then they would somewhat diminish to where they
6:14
were at a state they were manageable.
6:17
It was when I was in 11th grade,
6:19
I got strep, I believe.
6:21
Um I was at the doctor 12 separate
6:23
times, I do believe in the matter of
6:26
the span of literally one spring.
6:28
Um, but with that, the the swelling and
6:31
the inflammation of my brain kept getting worse
6:33
and worse and worse.
6:36
At this time over the course of the
6:38
next two years, I started to do a
6:40
lot more of the dermatilomania, which is of
6:42
course self-skin picking disorder.
6:44
Um, and a lot of things that, and
6:46
I hate to say, but a lot of
6:48
people find so much shame in those things.
6:50
And I really would love to advocate for
6:52
folks that are out there that have these
6:54
disorders and have these things such as intrusive
6:56
thoughts.
6:58
So if I got strep, it would be
6:59
intrusive thoughts.
7:00
Intrusive thoughts.
7:01
If I had GI issues, it would be
7:01
If I had GI issues, it would be
7:02
depression.
7:02
depression.
7:04
If I had a general viral um sort
7:04
If I had a general viral sort of
7:06
of thing going on, um it would be
7:06
thing going on, it would be more of
7:09
more of a just generalized anxiety, like the
7:09
a just generalized anxiety, like the body was
7:12
body was entirely tense and everything was a
7:12
entirely tense and everything was a um a
7:15
um a very big ordeal.
7:15
very big ordeal.
7:18
And so because the symptoms of pans and
7:18
And so because the symptoms of pans and
7:20
pandas are so varied, it makes it very
7:20
pandas are so varied, it makes it very
7:22
hard to identify until a little bit later
7:22
hard to identify until a little bit later
7:24
in life.
7:24
in life.
7:26
And whenever I say later in life, they
7:26
And whenever I say later in life, they
7:28
had um.
7:29
had um made a note in a doctor's
7:32
note at some point with my functional medicine
7:34
doctor very long time ago, the possibility of
7:37
me having pans and pandas, and it resurfaced
7:40
um in about 2017, where they were like,
7:42
Oh, you might have this going on.
7:45
And in the meantime, of course, I was
7:47
diagnosed with more of a generalized anxiety and
7:50
um treated for that.
7:52
And of course, the SSRIs for me were
7:55
not successful, and in fact, very um, I
7:57
wouldn't say exacerbating, but they definitely were not
8:00
targeting the pathway that they needed to.
8:03
So all that to say.
8:05
Yeah, for sure.
8:06
And you you think you you struggled with
8:08
doing this all on your own just because
8:10
you were embarrassed by it, you didn't want
8:12
to tell your mom about it, or your
8:14
mom was so involved with Tristan's care with
8:16
his severe autism that you just didn't want
8:18
to burden burden her.
8:20
I'm just trying to, you know, because your
8:23
story is really compelling, and the things that
8:25
you had to deal with as, you know,
8:27
from maybe uh, you know, middle school all
8:29
the way through high school and then getting
8:32
into you know going on from there, um,
8:34
your struggles, you you really document them in
8:36
your in your book.
8:38
Uh your personal story, it's really touching and
8:40
really compelling.
8:42
And all I could think of as I'm
8:43
reading this is like, where's your mom in
8:45
this?
8:46
Because she had been such an advocate for
8:48
you.
8:49
And so I was just was trying to
8:51
get that conversation with you about that.
8:53
Yes, and she's still, and I say this,
8:56
I think that oftentimes there's a little bit
8:58
of a generational break when it comes to
9:01
uh disorders such as pans and pandas and
9:04
disorders such as ADHD.
9:06
She does have a touch of ADHD herself
9:09
and a touch of OCD herself.
9:12
But as far as the intrusive thoughts, those
9:14
are things that oftentimes like she has never
9:17
experienced intrusive thoughts herself.
9:20
And so when you're functioning out of a
9:22
brain that has certain components and certain things
9:24
going on within, and you don't have not
9:26
to say the means to verbalize it, but
9:28
you kind of just assume like a fish
9:30
swimming in water that everybody else is in
9:32
the same water.
9:34
You think that she's operating out of a
9:35
very similar brain.
9:37
And so one day you'd be having a
9:39
conversation, and all of a sudden she'd be
9:41
like, oh, that's that's very not normal in
9:43
there.
9:45
That is not what they would call neurotypical
9:47
in there.
9:48
And so um, particularly with the dermatillomania, that
9:51
came a lot later into the equation.
9:54
I would say after my flair in 11th
9:56
grade, whenever I had the strep on and
9:58
on and on, that was where we really
10:01
saw an uptick in the dermatellomania.
10:03
And of course, you know, when you're doing
10:05
those things to yourself, when you're having those
10:07
skin picking disorders, there is definitely like a
10:09
sense of like, oh, I'm doing this to
10:11
myself.
10:14
Who does that?
10:14
You know, um, and there is a sense
10:16
of shame.
10:17
And I think there's more people that suffer
10:19
with this and suffer with intrusive thoughts than
10:20
we even realize.
10:22
Well, yeah, and then the other form of
10:25
that is like uh trichotillomania where people pull
10:27
out their hair and pull out their eyebrows
10:29
and their eyelashes and things like that.
10:31
There are a lot of those repetitive, uh
10:33
repetitive OCD type of things.
10:35
You know, you go into several lots of
10:38
chapters actually about your brother, Tristan and his
10:41
severe autism, and then when he developed seizures
10:44
and all of those things, and now you
10:46
have this long litany of neuro uh atypical
10:49
sorts of things that you dealt with too.
10:52
Do you believe that vaccines played a role
10:54
in both of your lives in terms of
10:57
vaccine injury that maybe went undiagnosed and untreated
10:59
for you with this litany of symptoms, and
11:01
then of course Tristan's severe autism and seizure
11:04
disorders.
11:06
I do.
11:07
And um originally, so Tristan was completely developmentally
11:10
um normal, hitting all of his milestones until
11:13
his one-year checkup, and then was diagnosed with
11:16
the form of regressive autism after his MMR
11:19
vaccination, which you've done a lot of highlights
11:22
on in the past.
11:26
I personally believe, and I say this, uh
11:27
person, and of course, that's a big part
11:28
of my story as well.
11:30
I believe that it did set us up
11:32
for the flared immune system that is causing
11:33
the pans and pandas.
11:36
But I also think that a key component
11:39
to realize is I do have um people
11:42
that I work with that, although um parents,
11:45
grandparents, um anti-vax, um, it's really interesting because
11:48
he has a very severe form of autism
11:51
as well.
11:54
What's interesting about it is that at the
11:56
end of the day, I personally believe that
11:59
autism is multi-causal and multifactoral, but I do
12:01
believe that vaccinations are a key source of
12:03
oxidative stress in our children.
12:06
You're talking about the mercury, you're talking about
12:08
the aluminum, the polysorbe 80, they are all
12:10
oxidative stressors that are passing the blood brain
12:12
barrier.
12:14
And in looking at the broader model, so
12:17
big part of unbreaking the brain was realizing
12:20
that the oxidative stress response of the body
12:22
um was, you know, coming from oxidative stressors
12:25
in the brain.
12:28
And so I know there may be a
12:30
lot of listeners that aren't, you know, um,
12:32
as familiar with antioxidant and um reactive oxygen
12:34
species.
12:36
So it comes back to defining what is
12:38
oxidative stress.
12:41
Our bodies are 65% oxygen.
12:44
Every single process, every single cell of the
12:46
body needs oxygen to thrive.
12:48
And when we have dysfunction of the oxygen
12:50
molecules in all of those cells, that is
12:53
where we see a lot of these disorders,
12:55
and especially when that um when that oxidative
12:57
stress reaches the brain.
12:59
Oxidative stress could be anything typically mercury, aluminum,
13:03
glyphosate, um, BPAs, all of those different um
13:07
oxidative stressors.
13:11
When they're able to pass through into the
13:13
blood brain barrier, they begin to destroy the
13:15
outer wall of the cell and the mitochondria
13:18
of the cell, which you know is um
13:20
the source of power for the entire cellular
13:22
structure.
13:24
So we start to see a lot of
13:26
this frontotemporal brain damage for both our children
13:29
with autism, and we are also seeing it
13:31
in our folks with Alzheimer's as well.
13:34
So when we have that oxidative stress dysfunction
13:37
coming down the line, um, that can look
13:39
like elevated uric acid levels and the symptomologies
13:42
of both autism and Alzheimer's.
13:45
Um you know, I had a doctor, I
13:46
had Dr.
13:47
Chris Xley on my show a couple weeks
13:49
ago.
13:51
And Chris is, you know, known as Mr.
13:53
Aluminum.
13:54
He has more than 200 uh peer-reviewed published
13:57
studies on aluminum.
13:59
He'd been interested, it was interesting to hear
14:00
Interested, it was interesting to hear his story
14:01
his story that he'd gotten interested in aluminum
14:02
that he'd gotten interested in aluminum as a
14:04
as a kid and and started uh he
14:05
kid and and started uh he just couldn't
14:07
just couldn't understand why the entire earth, like
14:07
understand why the entire earth, like the the
14:09
the the most the most prevalent um element
14:10
most the most prevalent um element on the
14:12
on the entire earth was was aluminum, and
14:12
entire earth was was aluminum, and that in
14:14
that in everything that he studied, and I
14:14
everything that he studied, and I didn't know
14:17
didn't know this, but he started with studying
14:17
this, but he started with studying aluminum and
14:19
aluminum and fish, which was kind of interesting.
14:19
fish, which was kind of interesting.
14:22
And every aluminum through all of his 40
14:22
And every aluminum through all of his 40
14:24
years of his career, he studied aluminum and
14:25
years of his career, he studied aluminum and
14:27
fish and all kinds of mammals.
14:28
fish and all kinds of mammals, plants, uh
14:30
things on the ground, and of course, humans.
14:34
And um, never once has he ever found
14:37
aluminum to be anything but a toxic uh
14:40
uh contaminant.
14:43
And he said in all of the studies
14:46
that he did, when you inject uh something
14:48
into the arm of a of a mammal,
14:51
whether it's a dog, cat, human, whatever, that
14:53
that aluminum that's used as an adjuvant, it
14:56
with a in a matter of days, hours,
14:58
sometimes minutes, immediately gets into the bloodstream and
15:01
goes into the brain and causes all sorts
15:03
of brain inflammation in that.
15:06
And where his career took a serious tank
15:09
was when he received uh, you know, I
15:11
think it was seven or eight uh brains
15:14
from um from that they were uh uh
15:16
extracted through an autopsy and sent to him
15:19
to evaluate that these these brains were from
15:22
autistic people.
15:25
And he had already made a very strong
15:28
uh argument between Alzheimer's and aluminum.
15:30
Then when he did all the dissections and
15:33
he did all the testing, he found that
15:35
these brains of these autistic people were loaded
15:38
with aluminum, and it was from that point
15:40
forward that his career he was banned, he
15:43
was shunned, he lost his job at the
15:45
at the university, closed down his lab, he
15:48
couldn't get grants anymore and all that stuff
15:50
because he was making the connection between vaccines,
15:53
particularly the aluminum and vaccines and autism.
15:56
Now, he didn't get quite that same slam
15:58
dunk thing that when he made the connection
16:00
between uh vaccines and Alzheimer's, but certainly with
16:03
with autism.
16:06
But you've made an even more significant breakthrough
16:08
identification.
16:10
I want to spend some significant time talking
16:13
about how you discovered this that the autism
16:15
behaviors that we're seeing so strongly in your
16:17
brother had to do with high uric acid
16:20
levels.
16:24
And so um, in that oxidative stress model.
16:27
So back in 2022, um, we'd been working
16:29
with a functional medicine doctor that had mentioned
16:30
some of Dr.
16:32
Pearl Mutter's research, and simply that, you know,
16:34
he was looking into uric acid as far
16:36
as a pro-inflammatory agent and you know, basically
16:38
just to keep track of the uric acid
16:40
to see if there's any connection.
16:43
And I'm so thankful we got one of
16:45
those little uric acid at home testing kits,
16:47
and poor Tristan, my brother, this poor boy
16:49
had probably been pricked hundreds of times at
16:52
this point.
16:54
Um, but we were able to track the
16:57
fact that before his seizures, his uric acid
16:59
would be through the roof.
17:02
And I say that hyperuricemia is typically going
17:05
to be above a 7.0.
17:07
Tristan would creep up over 7.0.
17:11
Well, five to 7.0 is about your um,
17:14
about your normal range.
17:16
He'd be a 10, he would be an
17:18
11.
17:19
We got a reading for 13.4 one time.
17:22
That is not, that's not even in gout
17:22
range.
17:24
That is like, I mean, major oxidative stress,
17:26
because that is the byproduct of a very
17:28
high level of oxidative stress in both the
17:31
brain and the body.
17:34
And so it's just been very, it was
17:35
fascinating to us.
17:37
And so on a really big note, I
17:40
wrote, and I think the end of 2023,
17:43
I said, stop xanthine oxidase, which is the
17:46
enzyme that converts xanthine into uric acid.
17:49
I said, you know, I mean, ever since
17:51
I've been in the natural health field, I've
17:53
been looking for solutions and answers for my
17:55
brother because his epilepsy was life-threatening.
17:58
He ended up on life support about a
18:00
year ago from his seizures medically.
18:02
We'd been trying for 18 years to try
18:03
to get these under control.
18:05
They're uncontrolled, they're untreatable.
18:07
And with Lennox Gasteau diagnosis um in 2022,
18:09
they were basically like, there's nothing else we
18:11
can do.
18:13
What is that?
18:14
What is that?
18:15
Um, essentially, it is a seizure disorder that
18:18
is not treatable, not curable.
18:20
Um, typically it occurs before the age of
18:23
10, which I thought was interesting because after
18:26
18 years of trying to get the seizures
18:28
under control allopathically, so with your typical gavin
18:31
cancer, sodium blockers, a lot of those, uh,
18:33
his seizures only continued to get worse.
18:36
And so, in when I first got into
18:38
naturopathic medicine, I was like, my obvious my
18:41
top priority is finding the answer for my
18:43
brother who has terminal epilepsy.
18:46
And so um for me personally, I mean,
18:48
unbreaking the brain is a very solutions forward
18:51
book because I was in search of solutions
18:54
and we were in search of solutions fast
18:56
with Lennox Gasteau, um, the life expectancy was
18:59
incredibly low for my brother.
19:01
Um, they were saying late 20s prop method.
19:05
Wow, definitely before the 40s.
19:07
And so, with that in mind, um, when
19:09
we figured out the uric acid was getting
19:11
so much higher before the seizures, we hadn't
19:14
connected quite yet that his autistic behaviors got
19:16
worse before the seizures.
19:18
But he'd wake up some mornings and he'd
19:20
be totally out of it, totally, it was
19:22
as if he had regressed autistically, and we
19:24
knew at that point that you know, he
19:26
was going to have a seizure in the
19:28
next day or so because he was um
19:30
it was a backup of that byproduct, as
19:32
it turns out, of oxidative stress in the
19:34
brain.
19:36
And so with oxidative stress, because oxygen is
19:40
kind of crucial to those processes.
19:44
At some point, whenever you're um when you
19:46
have so much oxidative stress overrunning the body
19:49
that it is spilling over into uric acid,
19:52
it becomes this vicious feedback cycle because uric
19:54
acid causes more oxidative stress.
19:57
So, unless your body is able to clear
20:00
that, um, Tristan's body, and I believe as
20:03
a naturopath, God designed our bodies beautifully.
20:06
He designed it to be smart.
20:08
But when we were seeing that he was
20:10
getting very close to seizures, um, his autistic
20:13
behaviors would increase.
20:15
And so the higher the uric acid, the
20:17
worse the autistic behaviors, and the more likely
20:20
it was that he was going to have
20:22
a seizure, which we ended up figuring out
20:24
was the fact that it would turn his
20:26
body hypoxic.
20:29
He would stop breathing for anywhere between five
20:31
and 20 seconds during these seizures, and that
20:34
both clears out the body's processes that use
20:37
oxygen, but also clears out oxidative stress.
20:40
And so um, he would wake back up
20:43
after these seizures, his uric acid would be
20:45
in range again at the five to seven
20:47
mark, and he wouldn't have any more.
20:50
The cluster seizures, he would stay in that
20:52
range consistently until it was back between five
20:54
and seven.
20:56
And so originally we started trying to work
20:59
with this, trying to clear out just the
21:00
out just the uric acid without addressing the
21:01
uric acid without addressing the root cause.
21:02
root cause.
21:04
We were trying to just clear out the
21:04
We were trying to just clear out the
21:07
uric acid, but the uric acid was the
21:07
uric acid, but the uric acid was the
21:09
byproduct of essentially damage to the brain that
21:09
byproduct of essentially damage to the brain that
21:12
was um creating um cellular byproducts.
21:12
was creating cellular byproducts.
21:15
So, how did this whole idea of uric
21:15
So how did this whole idea of uric
21:18
acid come about to even look at that?
21:18
acid come about to even look at that?
21:21
I mean, you mentioned Dr.
21:21
I mean you mentioned Dr.
21:22
Pullmutter, and for the audience, they may not
21:22
Pullmutter and for the audience they may not
21:24
know that Dr.
21:24
know that Dr.
21:25
Pullmutter is uh he's an icon in functional
21:25
Pullmutter is a he's an icon in functional
21:27
medicine.
21:27
medicine.
21:28
He's he's an
21:28
He's he's an he's a functional neurologist does
21:31
a lot of things with hyperbaric medicine.
21:33
And so he's always so because he's a
21:36
neurologist he deals with people with Alzheimer's dementia,
21:39
autism, seizure disorders where did this whole concept
21:41
of uric acid elevated uric acid levels come
21:44
up and is it something that people who
21:47
are listening to this who have autistic children
21:49
or relatives that they should get levels and
21:52
and probably more than one because just a
21:55
spot uric acid probably isn't going to tell
21:58
them what they need to know.
22:01
Very true.
22:02
And we actually so at first whenever we
22:04
were first starting to take his uric acid
22:06
levels they appear to be in normal range.
22:08
So we actually originally thought that this was
22:10
going to be a non starter.
22:12
I mean whenever you're working to try to
22:13
resolve a lot of these autism symptoms there
22:15
are tons of things that you try I
22:17
mean when I if I were to list
22:19
out to you all of the methods that
22:21
we have tried in order to work with
22:23
Tristan and get him to a better place
22:25
we'd be here all day.
22:27
However, what we came to find so it
22:29
was actually suggested by our functional medicine doctor
22:31
based on some of Dr.
22:33
Pearmutter's research and so that is when we
22:35
started look delving into it and looking at
22:36
it more extensively.
22:38
But what we came to find is the
22:41
uric acid of course is just a it
22:44
is a cellular byproduct of processes in the
22:47
brain that are not functioning appropriately.
22:51
So every cell in the brain needs adenosine
22:54
triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate and the phosphorylation cycle, you
22:57
know, basically you put a phosphorus on you
23:00
pull it off it's how we get energy
23:03
in every cell of the body when that
23:06
is dysfunctioning when you have a lot of
23:09
these essentially you know oxidative stressors not only
23:12
does it kill the energy it kills the
23:14
outer lining of the cell wall and further
23:17
down the line that impacts the purine synthesis
23:20
process which is what um typically we're gonna
23:23
you know you urinate out much of that
23:26
you also eliminate much of that through the
23:29
liver as well when we see these elevated
23:32
blood uric acid um levels we're seeing a
23:35
process where the brain is excreting um excreting
23:38
cellular byproducts and overflowing with that excretion to
23:41
a point that it is creating so much
23:44
oxidative stress in the symptoms that it causes
23:47
many of these symptoms.
23:50
If the body can regulate it out back
23:53
in the ADP ATP area if it can
23:55
basically fix that in the cell what we
23:58
find is that we have more symptoms of
24:01
OCD ADHD anxiety pans and panda so we're
24:03
having um based on how severe the um
24:06
autism characteristics are or the seizure disorder is
24:09
because when you get all the way down
24:11
to uric acid when you get all the
24:14
way down to this elevated uric acid level
24:17
around 20% of those with autism experience that
24:19
high uric acid trend and a lot of
24:22
times those are the same kids that have
24:25
the seizure disorders like one in three with
24:28
autism do.
24:31
And it's just it's wild to see this
24:34
process and how many neurodegenerative diseases disorders are
24:38
related to this same pathway.
24:42
Wow I mean it's I mean the Well
24:44
that's you know that's really important and for
24:47
the listener it's really a a novel kind
24:49
of a new thing because autism is you
24:52
know we're now down to one in 30
24:54
kids you know when I started doing this
24:57
25 years ago it was it was about
24:59
one in 150 and we thought that was
25:02
terrible and now it's one in 30 and
25:04
in California it's one in 12 boys.
25:07
You know and so if there are anything
25:09
along the way in terms of metabolic processes
25:10
that can be looked at and can be
25:12
treated that's why this is so important why
25:14
I really wanted to talk to you about
25:16
this in your book.
25:18
So this is a good place to let
25:20
that sink in for a minute we're going
25:21
to have more conversations about that uric acid
25:23
when we come back from the break.
25:25
So hold that thought right there Tiffany and
25:28
we're going to hear from our sponsors for
25:30
AmericaOutloud.news America Outloud Talk Radio plays the 10
25:33
penny files on the iHeartRadio network every day
25:35
Monday through Friday at 3 p.m eastern if
25:38
you've missed any of these great conversations you
25:40
can find the 10 penny files on Spotify,
25:43
Pandora, Apple, tune in, iHeartVirtual Studio and I
25:46
think the best place to go back and
25:48
listen to them is go to DR10penny.com just
25:51
hover over the podcast tab.
25:53
You will see a window that drops down
25:55
and it says all podcasts.
25:57
We couldn't have made it more easy for
25:58
you.
25:59
And then you can go back and you
26:01
can read about them you could look at
26:02
them you can look at the links that
26:04
we put in there for the authors because
26:06
these are these are meant to give you
26:07
just the cliff notes of what the book
26:09
is about because reading the whole book is
26:11
so much more important sort of like the
26:13
difference between reading a book and watching a
26:14
movie right you know the movies are are
26:16
always a cliff note of the books.
26:18
So this is and to inspire you to
26:20
dig deeper and also to to get these
26:23
books and and keep putting them in your
26:25
library read them and I'm really trying to
26:27
aspire inspire America to start reading more again
26:30
and not just scrolling on your Instagram account.
26:32
So we've got a great message coming up
26:35
here from our sponsor they're really important messages
26:38
uh supporting our sponsors is what supports us
26:41
tight we will be right back with more
26:44
from Tiffany Bramblett talking about her book Unbreaking
26:47
the Brain the Natural Reversal of Autism Alzheimer's
26:50
and autoimmune disease we will be right back.
26:53
There are an awful lot of people that
26:55
are affiliates for Mike Lindell because we all
26:57
really appreciate what he does for this country.

27:35
they're really pretty so from children all the
27:38
way up to uh you know gentlemen that
27:40

28:01
I'm Dr.
28:01
I'm Dr.
28:02
Kelly Victory with the wellness company, and I
28:02
Kelly Victory with the wellness company and I
28:03
know this personally.
28:04
know this personally I exercised ate a healthy
28:05
I exercised, ate a healthy diet, and had
28:07
diet and had no symptoms when a routine
28:08
no symptoms when a routine mammogram resulted in
28:10
mammogram resulted in a cancer diagnosis.
28:10
a cancer diagnosis.
28:12
It revealed a hard truth even healthy people
28:12
It revealed a hard truth.
28:14
Even healthy people can get cancer.
28:15
can get cancer and much of modern medicine
28:16
And much of modern medicine is reactive, not
28:17
is reactive not preventative.
28:18
preventative.
28:20
So I began asking a different question.
28:20
So I began asking a different question what
28:22
can we do daily to support the body
28:22
What can we do daily to support the
28:24
before something goes wrong?
28:24
body before something goes wrong?
28:26
That question led me to formulate SHIELD.
28:26
That question led me to formulate SHIELD.
28:29
SHIELD is a

32:57
Today's conversation is with holistic naturopathic practitioner Tiffany
33:00
Bramlett, talking about her book, Unbreaking the Brain,
33:04
the Natural Reversal of Autism, Alzheimer's, and Autoimmune
33:07
Disease with a powerful natural uh protocol to
33:10
reset the system and unbreak the brain.
33:14
Let me tell you just a little bit
33:15
more about today's guest.
33:17
Tiffany Bramblett is a holistic health practitioner who
33:19
specializes in addressing and addressing chronic is chronic
33:22
health issues naturally.
33:25
She is trained by Trinity School of Natural
33:28
Health and a certified traditional naturopath who owns
33:31
as intended wellness, a wellness practice in North
33:33
Carolina that focuses on holistic well-being and patient-centered
33:36
care.
33:39
Tiffany, thank you so much for being here
33:42
today and sharing this really novel sort of
33:44
way that uh parents can um maybe get
33:46
if they've got kids that are autistic around
33:48
the spectrum, they can get that tested.
33:51
Now you mentioned some sort of like a
33:53
home testing kit for uric acid.
33:55
I didn't even know that that existed.
33:58
Uh, where can people still get that?
34:00
And how do they get one of those
34:02
that they can, you know, if they're if
34:04
their child suddenly, you know, is kind of
34:06
stable but has an outbreak of much more
34:08
severe autistic behaviors, or if it's uh they
34:10
just had a seizure disorder, any of the
34:13
things that you talk about in detail in
34:15
your book, where can they get these kits
34:17
and they can test their child at home?
34:20
Um I'll I mean, to be honest with
34:21
you, that is something that I don't know
34:23
as far as the brand that we use
34:25
off the top of my head.
34:27
I do know the home testing kits, they
34:28
require the fingerprint.
34:30
They're very much like those that test blood
34:31
sugar for diet.
34:32
Yeah, for sure.
34:33
And um, it was interesting because whenever Tristan
34:36
had a seizure cluster about two and a
34:38
half, three years ago, and we had them
34:41
actually test based on I can get you
34:43
that specific brand for sure.
34:46
But whenever we actually went into the hospital
34:48
because he had had a seizure cluster, we
34:50
told them we said, hey, please test his
34:52
uric acid level.
34:54
Because of course at the time they're like,
34:56
well, we're not looking into that.
34:57
He didn't, he wasn't admitted for gout.
34:59
And we said, no, test it.
35:00
And we said, no, test it.
35:01
He was almost a 13.
35:01
He was almost a 13.
35:03
Wow.
35:03
Wow.
35:03
Which is you know, I guess I guess
35:03
Which is, you know, I guess I guess
35:05
what I was looking for wasn't a specific
35:05
what I was looking for wasn't a specific
35:06
brand.
35:06
brand.
35:08
But is this something you need a doctor's
35:08
But is this something you need a doctor's
35:09
prescription for?
35:10
prescription for, or can you just go into
35:11
Or can you just go into Walgren's and
35:11
Walgren's and just buy a uric acid test
35:13
just buy a uric acid test kit?
35:13
kit?
35:15
I believe we ordered ours online.
35:15
I believe we ordered ours online.
35:17
Um really.
35:17
Uh really.
35:18
But yeah, I mean, it's one of those
35:18
Yeah, I mean, it's one of those things,
35:20
things, it's like the blood sugar monitor, so
35:20
it's like the blood sugar monitor, so it
35:22
it is accessible to anybody and everybody.
35:22
is accessible to anybody and everybody.
35:24
About 20% of kids of the that have
35:24
About 20% of kids of the that have
35:27
autism have elevated or hyperuras.
35:27
autism have elevated or hyperuricemia.
35:30
Um, so elevated blood uric acid levels.
35:33
Um, typically we're going to see that in
35:36
our folks that have seizure disorders and the
35:39
ones that are nonverbal or severe and aggressive.
35:42
Um, it is something that's worth noting that
35:44
even with my ADHD and my OCD and
35:46
a lot of those things going on, if
35:48
the body can regulate that out during purine
35:50
synthesis, it will not show an elevated uric
35:52
acid level.
35:55
So for me, I'm always in that five
35:57
to seven range myself.
35:59
So, you know, depending on the person and
36:01
how severe the autism attributes, we may see
36:03
a little bit of a difference there.
36:06
But if you're in that situation and you're
36:08
like, hey, we need to start tracking this.
36:10
I encourage all of my autism parents to
36:11
go and do that.
36:13
So well, let's shift gears a little bit
36:15
and talk about your grandmother.
36:17
Okay.
36:18
Because your grandma, you know, you talk you
36:20
call her Grammy in the book.
36:22
So you obviously have a really special and
36:24
close relationship with your grandmother.
36:26
And you had noticed her mental decline, that
36:29
she had was just becoming more withdrawn and
36:31
less engaged and kind of forgetful.
36:35
And what did you discover about her Alzheimer's?
36:38
Because she was told you were told by
36:40
the doctor that it was just continuing to
36:42
decline and to get prepared to put her
36:44
into a into a home.
36:46
And you kind of said, no way.
36:48
So and where did you take that from
36:49
there?
36:50
Oh my goodness.
36:52
Um, well, she was first diagnosed, um, I
36:55
believe 2022, um, with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.
36:59
So Alzheimer's.
37:01
And just and just for the audience, vascular
37:04
dementia is a really severe form of Alzheimer's.
37:07
And it really has very little treatment, and
37:09
there's not much you can do about it.
37:11
So that is a much more severe form
37:14
of Alzheimer's than the chronic declining Alzheimer's where
37:17
the memory just gets a little bit worse.
37:20
So I just wanted to clarify that for
37:21
the listeners a little bit.
37:22
So go ahead.
37:23
I'm sorry to interrupt.
37:24
Oh no, you're you're one, it's it's perfect.
37:26
Um, we actually, and the thing is with
37:28
Alzheimer's, you can live for about 15, 20
37:30
years, and you have a slow climate uh
37:32
drip of decline.
37:34
And um, vascular dementia is kind of like
37:36
the faucet is fully on.
37:38
Um, you know, within the year, I mean,
37:40
she didn't know me, she didn't know my
37:41
cousins, like she was already at that point.
37:44
Um, and so for us, the decline was
37:46
so fast, and you know, we were given
37:49
her, she was given about 18 months.
37:51
Um, because typically with vascular dementia, it's like
37:54
the the vascularity of the brain, so the
37:56
veins of the brain are under duress and
37:58
under distress.
38:01
And so typically that comes with a cardiovascular
38:03
event, a secondary stroke that is terminal.
38:06
And so we were given about 18 months
38:08
for her at the end of the beginning
38:11
of 2023, right?
38:13
Whenever I had started going into natural um
38:15
health and medicine, and so at the time
38:17
I was working at a supplement store called
38:20
Anna's Natural Health.
38:22
Um, and my mentors there, I've got two
38:25
wonderful mentors from there, and they're fantastic, but
38:27
they actually clued me into some of the
38:30
things that were going to help to basically
38:32
unbreak her brain, rebuild her brain.
38:35
And in the process, what I discovered is
38:37
it is a very similar pathway to what
38:39
happens for those with autism, the oxidative stress
38:41
buildup in the brain.
38:44
However, I do believe that the um the
38:46
generational gap we're seeing between autism and Alzheimer's
38:48
is simply the onset of when the oxidative
38:50
stress takes place.
38:53
You know, I mean, they call my grandmother's
38:55
generation the aluminum generation for a reason, but
38:58
that onset was quite a bit later.
39:00
Same thing with the glyphosate usage, same thing
39:03
with a lot of the other oxidative stressors.
39:05
When those oxidative stressors are placed in an
39:08
already developed brain, definitely the damage looks different
39:11
and the onset looks different.
39:14
Um, so for those with autism, I do
39:16
believe it's a relatively, I mean, it's a
39:18
buildup, they're vulnerable.
39:20
I'll talk a little more about that in
39:20
a bit.
39:21
They already have a vulnerable system, but then
39:23
they hit have an oxidative stressor, they have
39:25
their regression.
39:27
Um, for folks like my grandmother, I do
39:29
believe it is a slow buildup of oxidative
39:31
stressors in an already developed brain over a
39:33
longer period of time.
39:36
So and what was the first thing that
39:38
you that you came across that you was
39:41
a really an amazing help to her?
39:43
And I think it may be a big
39:45
help to a lot of people who are
39:46
listening to this.
39:47
So explore that with us a little bit.
39:50
Yes.
39:51
So one of the first things that we
39:53
had um worked with her with, we had
39:56
wanted to get her muscles back in shape
39:58
because for vascular dementia in particular, of course,
40:00
um, you know, the calves are the second
40:03
heart muscles, so getting the leg strength back
40:05
that she had lost after well, going on
40:08
true Licidity in 2019, which is a completely
40:10
another story in and of itself.
40:13
Um, she lost a lot of muscle master
40:14
in that, so trying to rebuild that from
40:16
the ground up.
40:18
Um, lots of dietary change, trying to get
40:20
her to focus on the essential fatty acids,
40:22
the building blocks of the brain, plus the
40:24
protein to build those muscles, build all of
40:26
that back out.
40:28
Um, unfortunately, her diagnosis, very severe.
40:32
Um, I do, I mean, and the thing
40:34
is is that during her testing period, she
40:36
wasn't particularly staying away from the carbs, staying
40:38
away from all of that.
40:40
And so even with that and with the
40:42
supplementation, she was able to make amazing marks
40:44
on that.
40:46
But what we also figured out is that
40:49
any time that she was well, she was
40:51
going out to breakfast with friends at certain
40:54
places that had mold in it.
40:56
And that was something that we did not
40:58
connect at the time, that was a later
41:00
connection.
41:02
Um, but inhalational Alzheimer's is something that um
41:05
they believe about 38% of people who have
41:08
an Alzheimer's diagnosis, it is simply from inhalational
41:11
mold.
41:14
Wow.
41:14
Um, which that's stat, I mean, is but
41:17
50 over 50% of retail spaces have mold
41:19
in them.
41:22
And uh, we ended up connecting that both
41:24
for her and for Tristan.
41:26
But um, mold also has the ability to
41:28
deplete B1 levels, which B1 helps to regulate
41:31
blood sugar.
41:33
So we would see she has a little
41:35
Dexcom that she wears all the time, so
41:37
we can kind of track where those blood
41:40
sugar levels are at, because of course, the
41:42
higher the blood glucose level, the harder the
41:44
vascularity in the brain has to work to
41:46
bring those nutrients up to the brain because
41:48
it makes the blood what I call in
41:51
a very simple form, slushy blood.
41:54
Uh sugar, it's like second slushy through a
41:56
straw instead of you know anything that's more
41:58
um liquid.
42:00
Um liquid.
42:01
Um, and so with that in mind though,
42:01
And so with that in mind, though, her
42:03
uh her exposure to mold, even for a
42:03
exposure to mold, even for a short period
42:06
short period of time would spike her blood
42:06
of time, would spike her blood sugar and
42:08
sugar and would cause the memory lapses, even
42:08
would cause the memory lapses, even when she
42:11
when she was doing fantastic.
42:11
was doing fantastic.
42:13
And we would tell her we'd be like,
42:13
And we would tell her we'd be like,
42:15
Hey, did we eat more?
42:15
hey, did we eat more?
42:17
Did we eat a waffle while we were
42:17
Did we eat a waffle while we were
42:18
out?
42:18
out?
42:19
And she's like, No, I ate normal.
42:19
And she's like, no, I ate normal.
42:22
And come to find out, absolutely, I she
42:22
And come to find out, absolutely, she was
42:24
was eating a lot of really fantastic nutritious
42:24
eating a lot of really fantastic nutritious foods
42:26
foods that shouldn't have been doing that, but
42:26
that shouldn't have been doing that, but the
42:27
the mold in
42:29
mold in the places she was going to
42:31
was depleting her B1 and making those blood
42:34
sugar levels look very different.
42:36
So you know, you also put her on
42:38
some creatine.
42:39
Yes.
42:40
Which is good.
42:40
And then there was a supplement, I think
42:42
it was PPQ.
42:44
Yes, PQQ.
42:45
And uh talk to us about that because
42:47
I had to look that up.
42:48
I didn't even know what that was, what
42:50
PPQ was.
42:51
So talk about that because that made a
42:54
dramatic change in her memory.
42:57
Yes.
42:58
PQQ helps to basically go in it is
43:00
big for mitochondriobiogenesis.
43:03
So basically restoring those powerhouses in the cells
43:05
of the brain.
43:07
Um, the way it was explained to be
43:09
by my mentor, I thought was actually very
43:12
beautiful because the combination that originally worked for
43:14
my grandmother was magnesium three and eight, PQQ,
43:17
and ubiquinol.
43:19
Um basically, when folks have a lot of
43:22
times the vascular dementia, some some of the
43:24
Alzheimer's as well, it's like a stadium with
43:26
the lights out.
43:29
The wires totally crossed, the power is turned
43:32
off and the light bulbs are unscrewed.
43:35
PQQ is the screw in the light bulb.
43:37
Turn back power on.
43:39
And what does that stand for?
43:40
What is PQQ?
43:42
What does that stand for?
43:43
Um, I think it's pyrochloroquinoline.
43:46
Okay.
43:46
I'm sorry.
43:48
Off the top of my head, I just
43:50
um but if but if people that are
43:52
listening to this want to look that up,
43:54
they can find it under PQ.
43:57
PQQ, okay, and ubiquinol, which is the precursor
43:59
to CoQ10.
44:02
Right.
44:02
So and the um digestible version of CoQ10.
44:05
And I say that a lot of people
44:07
over the age of around 35 to 50,
44:09
then that window, they lack the enzymes necessary
44:11
to break down CoQ10.
44:14
So if you're just taking CoQ10, a lot
44:16
of times if we do the ubiquinol, we
44:17
find that it is far more bioabsorbable for
44:19
folks.
44:22
So um and the ubiquinol kind of straightens
44:23
out those wires.
44:25
And the MACTN, the magnesium three and eight,
44:28
the only type of magnesium that crosses the
44:30
blood brain barrier, that is what turns the
44:32
power back on.
44:35
And so I thought it was a very
44:37
beautiful analogy and one that helps folks digest
44:39
a little bit of what's going on in
44:41
the brain, because it's not a simple, not
44:43
to say a simple one and done.
44:46
We've also been uh doing a lot with
44:48
aczanthin for that purpose.
44:51
So a lot of what we were doing
44:53
um with the PQQ, we've actually swapped gears
44:55
with a little bit as far as using
44:57
the astysanthin for that because it also creates
44:59
mitochondrial biogenesis.
45:02
So you know, another thing that you found
45:04
in these conditions, you know, autism for sure,
45:07
and I believe probably probably Alzheimer's too, as
45:09
people get older, is the connection with thyroid
45:12
dysfunction.
45:15
So tell us a little bit more about
45:17
what how you believe those are connected and
45:18
as a root cause for some of these
45:20
conditions.
45:22
Yes.
45:23
And so it was really interesting because in
45:25
my book, I'm breaking the brain, we focus
45:28
predominantly on the solutions because where we were
45:30
at in our lives, we needed solutions and
45:33
we needed them fast.
45:36
Um, you know, whenever your grandmother's given 18
45:39
months to live, when your brother is on
45:41
life support from an incurable seizure disorder and
45:43
he's having over 200 seizures a year, when
45:46
you're living in a mind that has, you
45:48
know, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, all these different uh,
45:51
you know, uh issues related to the pans
45:53
and the oxidative stress, you are looking for
45:56
those solutions and you're looking for them fast.
45:59
And so, but in looking at the broader
46:01
model here, I think there is a very
46:03
distinct connection because now that I practice, and
46:04
now that I kind of see this on
46:06
the other side as well, we've been a
46:08
part of the autism community again for over
46:10
25 years.
46:12
And in practice, I was able to dive
46:15
in a little bit more to familial history.
46:18
And Dr.
46:19
Timpenny, I have not found a single mother
46:21
of someone with autism yet that does not
46:24
have thyroid imbalance.
46:27
Wow.
46:28
A single one.
46:29
Um, and I say this, whether clinical or
46:31
subclinical, because you know, I have had mothers
46:34
that come in, they're like, my thyroid's perfect.
46:36
I just have the best metabolism in the
46:37
world.
46:38
And you can tell their hair's falling out,
46:40
they're thin as a rail.
46:42
Um, you know, there's there's more to that,
46:44
they have visible goiters, very much like my
46:47
mother when she was pregnant with my brother.
46:49
Interesting.
46:50
Yes.
46:51
And so in making this broader and bigger
46:53
connection, I do believe that maternal thyroid dysfunction
46:56
is a big culprit in why we are
46:59
seeing um our children susceptible to oxidative stressors
47:02
to begin with, and why we kind of
47:05
have this.
47:08
They talk a lot about MTHFR, so methylene
47:11
tetrahydropholiate reductase, you know, the MTHFRG mutation for
47:13
kids with autism, which is essentially where the
47:16
liver cannot make the water soluble master antioxidant
47:19
glutathione.
47:22
What we don't focus on as much so
47:24
is the fact that the thyroid is very
47:27
imperative in that processing, as well as the
47:30
liver, and also just kind of the inner
47:32
relation between the two of those and how
47:35
I believe they are setting our kids up
47:37
for you know for dysfunction.
47:40
And so that is going to be something
47:42
I've already written a full addendum to unbreaking
47:44
the brain that will come out in my
47:45
next editions.
47:47
Um, be an author yourself.
47:49
You're probably familiar with just because the book
47:51
is done does not mean the research is
47:53
no books are ever done.
47:55
That's the thing.
47:58
You know, it's there was a there was
47:59
a uh uh my mentor for my first
48:01
book, his name was Don Harkins.
48:03
He was an editor of a newspaper, and
48:05
he said when he went to journalism school,
48:08
one of his professors said, you know, close
48:10
your eyes for a minute and think of
48:12
every library and all over the world and
48:14
every single book that's ever been written, every
48:16
single article that's ever been written in all
48:19
of history, not one of them is done.
48:22
And because it's just that you, you know,
48:23
at some point you got to put a
48:25
period on it so you can get it
48:26
to the publisher, but it's never done.
48:28
So yes, so bringing up this additional thing
48:30
about the thyroid, I'm really glad you're gonna
48:32
write an addendum and move on.
48:34
You know, I think that um, you know,
48:37
in your book, now though just briefly, what
48:39
is the condition of Tristan right now?
48:42
So he had been trapped in the mind
48:44
of about a four or five-year-old for the
48:46
past couple decades, and that was very hard
48:48
to watch.
48:50
And I say that he developed his seizure
48:52
disorder at the age of 10 with the
48:54
onset of puberty, which I think is interesting,
48:57
and this is something that we don't often
48:59
highlight um for our kids with autism, but
49:00
Autism, but the statistics for autism and the
49:01
the statistics for autism and the severity are
49:03
severity are vastly different for girls versus boys.
49:04
vastly different for girls versus boys.
49:06
And what many people don't realize is that
49:06
And what many people don't realize is that
49:10
testosterone, unless in the presence of glutathione, is
49:10
testosterone, unless in the presence of glutathione, is
49:14
a pro oxidant versus estrogen being an antioxidant.
49:14
a pro oxidant versus estrogen being an antioxidant.
49:19
And so going back to that original model,
49:19
And so going back to that original model,
49:21
I think there is a very distinct reason
49:21
I think there is a very distinct reason
49:22
that we see that you know, men are
49:23
that we see that you know, men are
49:24
suffering from this more than women are, as
49:25
suffering from this more than women are, as
49:26
far as the ratio and statistics, but there
49:27
are.
49:28
far as the ratio and statistics, but there
49:30
are stats out there that talk about the
49:32
fact that when girls get a full onset
49:34
autism diagnosis, typically the severity is going to
49:36
be worse.
49:39
So all of that to say, there's much
49:41
more we could dive into there.
49:42
Um, but Tristan himself right now is doing
49:44
fantastic.
49:46
Um, it has been, gosh, I'm gonna say
49:49
coming up on six months of no behaviors.
49:53
And I say that you read extensively in
49:55
the book, how many behaviors we were having,
49:57
how you know, he would wake up some
50:00
mornings completely nonverbal, um, just completely in a
50:02
different place.
50:05
And then even on our good days, we
50:07
were sitting at about a six, probably, you
50:10
know, because it would cycle with his seizures.
50:12
Um, not only are the seizures going away,
50:15
except for the exception of being in mold.
50:17
If he is exposed to mold in any
50:20
capacity, now that we are fixing those pathways,
50:22
um, any time he is introduced to bigger
50:25
amounts of oxidative stress, which is harder to
50:27
avoid than folks often realize.
50:30
Over 50% of retail spaces have it.
50:32
Um, but with that said, aside from that,
50:35
he has not had any seizures.
50:37
He has not had any behaviors outside of
50:39
mold exposures over the course of the last
50:41
six months, which is revolutionary for us as
50:42
a family.
50:44
And he's and he's talking to you also,
50:45
right?
50:47
Oh, the um, so his receptive was always
50:49
about a you know, four or five.
50:52
And a lot of the things he would
50:53
be able to tell us is expressive, was
50:55
also very much in line with that, particularly
50:56
with the seizure disorder.
50:58
And what's interesting about it is that now
51:00
there is a there's a newfound awareness of
51:03
so many different things.
51:05
And I'll write about it a little in
51:07
the book, but um we didn't realize that
51:09
when he's exposed to mold, and that this
51:12
is something that I was able to find
51:14
in researching afterward because I was unaware.
51:16
All of a sudden one day he just
51:17
looks at us and he goes, it's so
51:19
nice to be able to see color again.
51:22
Which number one, before he would never have
51:23
verbalized to us.
51:25
Um it was wild because that is actually
51:28
a side effect of mold exposure that I
51:30
trust no idea about, no clue.
51:33
And I don't think obviously it's very publicized
51:35
that that's the case.
51:36
Um, but in addition to that, you know,
51:39
even the mention of death or anything uh
51:41
spiritual would cause him to run out of
51:43
the house screaming that he does not want
51:46
to die.
51:48
No, no less than seven or eight months
51:50
ago.
51:52
On his current protocol with Xanthan, with the
51:55
Astonuro, with the um everything that we mention
51:57
in the book.
52:00
Um he's now having conversations.
52:02
He's like, you know, I wouldn't want to
52:04
die, but if I did, I would like
52:06
to take all my favorite things with me.
52:08
And I wonder if Bob Ross will be
52:09
there.
52:10
I'm like, okay, definitely a different change of
52:12
tune.
52:14
Um, but the conceptualization and the processing that
52:16
is there now that was not before.
52:19
Um it is it is next level.
52:22
So, you know, uh in a word, because
52:24
we're running out of time here, we're coming
52:26
down to just the last few minutes.
52:28
Um, and your grandmother's all better too, right?
52:30
Yes, she now um her testing, she had
52:32
been scoring at the level of um, well,
52:34
uh verbal disability by the time she was
52:37
tested.
52:39
And you know, the very last testing she
52:41
did before she started the supplemental protocol, she
52:43
now performs with that at a 120, which
52:45
for those if the average is 100.
52:47
She performs far above average on that verbal
52:49
cognition now, and all of her testing is
52:51
above average, which is That's amazing.
52:54
You know, I know that being in healthcare
52:56
and being in medicine, there's really not a
52:59
one-size-fits-all protocol or one-size-fits-all program.
53:02
Like you even said for testing yourself when
53:04
you had OCD and ADHD, your uric acid
53:06
levels were not elevated.
53:08
But in the back of your book, you
53:10
have a pretty extensive protocol that I'm assuming
53:12
that you've worked with most of your clients
53:14
and things with it.
53:16
Um, it's because it was published in your
53:18
book, and I'm encouraging people to get this.
53:20
We've only got a minute and a half
53:21
left.
53:22
Um, is this protocol a good place for
53:24
people to start?
53:27
Absolutely.
53:28
And I say that I have now been
53:30
applying this to so many different um capacities.
53:32
We have a Parkinson's patient who has bedridden
53:34
for three years that is now walking.
53:36
Wow.
53:36
Um, we have um folks that have everything
53:40
from lupus to ALS to other types of
53:43
neurodegenerative diseases that um big part of the
53:46
protocol is astasanthen or astinero that goes in
53:50
and rebuilds the mitochondria, rebuilds the outer phospholipid
53:53
bilayer of the cells in the brain.
53:57
One of the only fat and water-soluble antioxidants
53:59
on earth, particularly natural and the most potent
54:01
by far.
54:03
And so we are seeing regeneration for a
54:06
wide array of neurodegenerative disorders, not just autism,
54:08
not just Alzheimer's, but we're seeing ALS, Parkinson's,
54:11
um, lupus, like so many different things that
54:14
I'm I'm incredibly excited to see what these
54:16
findings are going to show moving forward.
54:19
But it is all God, I mean, it
54:21
is, I mean, without Jesus, I know for
54:24
a fact that these answers, I mean, coming
54:26
upon these answers the way that we have
54:28
it was really only a work of God.
54:30
And I'm thankful for that.
54:32
That's really important.
54:33
And it is really, you know, a God-centered
54:35
sort of work that you do, even with
54:37
the name of your clinic, you know.
54:40
And so it's um uh tell people where
54:42
your or your website is and uh the
54:44
name, full name of your book again.
54:46
And you know, you anybody can get uh
54:48
any of the books from the guests that
54:51
we have on the show at our bookstore,
54:53
it's bookstore.drtenpenny.com, it's bookstore.dr10penny.com.
54:55
You also sell it on your website and
54:57
tell people where your clinic is and how
54:59
they can reach you.
55:01
Absolutely.
55:02
So I run as intended wellness out of
55:04
King, North Carolina.
55:06

55:17
natural reversal of autism, Alzheimer's, and autoimmune disease.
55:21
And I want to thank you so much
55:22
for having us on here, Dr.
55:23
Tampenny.
55:24
You were fantastic.
55:25
And I very much appreciate you for having
55:26

55:28
Well, I think that this is really a
55:30
breakthrough and revolutionary things, you know, for the
55:33
Alzheimer's, the the PQQ and the ubiquinol and
55:36
the magnesium three and eight and the creantine,
55:39
you know, are supplements that people can get.
55:42
We have a lot of those things in
55:43
our store.
55:44
Um, life extension carries them too, and they
55:45
have a really good brand where you can
55:47
get that.
55:49
But if you want to really dig down
55:51
and find out what's going on, um, get
55:53
hold of Tiffany and get do a teleconsult
55:55
with her so that she can, you know,
55:57
really look through and sort out the the
55:59
root causes.
56:00
out the the root causes because even though
56:01
Because even though the protocol in the back
56:01
the protocol in the back of the book
56:03
of the book, which I really really encourage
56:03
which I really really encourage everyone to get
56:05
everyone to get into read, um, it's a
56:05
into read um it's a place to start
56:06
place to start.
56:07
it may not be all of it for
56:08
It may not be all of it for
56:09
you and that's why working with a healthcare
56:10
you, and that's why working with a healthcare
56:10
practitioner is so important.
56:11
practitioner is so important.
56:13
Absolutely.
56:13
Absolutely.
56:14
