Her mother knew that I would be able to release her daughters stress and hoped that in the process, her daughter would stop gaining weight and her skin would improve. In discussing the situation with the patient, she mentioned that her grandparents were living with the family. They were victims of hurricane Katrina. There was lots of stress at home and at school. My first priority was to alleviate her stress. I also suggested that the teenager be examined by a gynecologist. After three sessions with me, the young girl was feeling better emotionally but her menstruation, her skin, and her weight were still prominent issues.

The report came back from the gynecologist stating that the patient had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and that surgery was recommended to remove the large cysts that had grown around her ovaries. Understandably, the patient and her mother were terrified by the necessity of surgery. Even more unnerving was the fact that it was recommended that the surgery be performed ASAP – within one months time. The gynecologist also prescribed birth control pills to help regulate the patients cycle. While it was good to have a diagnosis for her symptoms, the surgery recommendation seemed rushed.

In the interim, I suggested the patient take double the recommended daily dose of folic acid.I also gave her a holistic healing treatment to ensure that she would be able to optimally absorb the mineral, which I have found to be beneficial in preventing cysts and spinal defects.

The young girl continued coming once a week for a treatment session, mainly to release stress and anxiety. A month passed by quickly and the patient had an ultrasound to confirm the size of the cysts. To her astonishment, the doctor found that there were no cysts visible on the ultrasound scan. The doctor stated that surgery would no longer be necessary.

Was it the folic acid and holistic healing approach that eliminated the cysts, or the traditional birth control pills? Could it be that both factors were working together simultaneously?The answer is unknown.What is important is the patients improvement. Interestingly enough, the patients acne seemed to be visibly improved by the birth control medication. Now the patient is coming to see me for a holistic treatment once a month to minimize the stress experienced at home and at school.
