Herbal Treatment of Bulging Disc, Stenosis and Osteoarthritis in the Cervical Spine
Rebecca Harmon, LAc, CA
A 74-year-old female patient came to Rebecca Harmon's office with a chief complaint of neck stiffness and headaches on the top of her head. MRI results indicated multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine at her lower neck. Results indicated stenosis found at the left C5-C6 level. Impingement of the exiting C6 nerve root is the most likely the cause of neck stiffness and cause of headaches. In addition, there is an accentuated lordosis of the cervical spine, causing an increased sensation of numbness to her fingers due to nerve impingement. There is no evidence of cord compression and had an otherwise normal neurological exam. In addition, the patient has also been diagnosed with Scoliosis, Bulging discs at multiple levels of the spine, Bunions, Osteoarthritis, Lower Back Pain, Neck/Shoulder Pain, Pain in Legs, Sciatic Pain, Stiffness/Limited Range of Motion in the upper back.
Unfortunately, the pain has caused the patient to wake up throughout the night. Her days and evenings often consist of painful headaches and neck tightness. Emotionally the patient has noticed an increase in anger, irritability, and aggressiveness. This may in part be due to pain and lack of ability to get adequate rest. The patient is hoping to reduce her pain, decrease degeneration and improve her quality of life.
The patient was given both internal and external herbs from WBPI to meet her goals. The treatment aimed to decrease pain and inflammation in localized areas and to improve joint and spinal disc degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, bulging disc or stenosis when used both short and long-term.
The patient started to notice a reduction of pain in both her headaches and neck pain within two weeks of using them. She had both a decrease in pain and a decrease in the occurrence with which she is also able to sleep better and has an improved mood. Overall, the patient was happy with her results.*

Bulging Disc Resolution with the Use of Three WHITEE Patches
Dorie Erickson, PhD, CNC
“I would like to share a significant change in my healing process which has been going on for 2 years. During this time, I have used physical therapy, massage therapy, and various all-natural pain relievers. I did not want to use chemical drugs or anything that could become addictive. So last month I finally found and started the WBPI protocol and when it was time to return to my massage therapist. She said that in that short time, my condition had improved more than in the entire 12 months combined that she had been treating me. She was awestruck! My ability to walk progressed from 0 steps to 150 continuous steps per day, without the support of a walker or cane. She also said the rectus abdominis and the psoas muscles that were pulling me forward, had improved 50%. She had been working many months to get those two muscle sets released.
In less than a month on the protocol, these two sets were released just from the WPBI protocol for the bulging disc in the lumbar spine. Since the results were so dramatic we will continue the same protocol designed by WBPI, for another month. Thank you, WBPI, for helping me with a seemingly impossible task. I am 90 years and moving forward again, able to resume my practice.”*

Improved Quality of Life and Complete Symptom Resolution in Herniated Disc Patient
Kelsey Fernandez, LAc, IL
A 42-year-old female patient was suffering with herniated discs at L5-S1. She was experiencing sciatic pain which radiated down the back side of her leg. It was very tight in her piriformis which caused her to barely be able to walk. She rated her pain at a 10 out of 10. Due to this she could not play with her children or do housework. She was bed ridden and relied on her husband for virtually everything. Her goal was to get out of pain so she could be more involved in her children’s lives as well as get outside and garden.
She did a combined protocol with WBPI along with physical therapy. 6 weeks into the protocol, the patient went from not being able to walk to being completely functional again. Her pain had been eliminated and the numbness in her foot was 98% gone. The patient is ecstatic and very thankful for the results as she has been playing with her kids again and outside in the garden. Her quality life improved 100%.*

Ankylosing Spondylitis Solution
Dr. Ted Czepiel, DC, MO
A male patient presented to Dr. Czepiel, DC with ankylosing spondylitis due to an autoimmune condition that was diagnosed when he saw a rheumatologist. The patient complained of extreme hip pain, fatigue, and trouble walking. In the past, the patient had tried steroid injections and anti-inflammatories, however, he knows it's not correcting the root cause. The patient's goal was to get rid of the hip pain and avoid needing to start the biologic agent medication recommended by his doctor. Dr. Czepiel, DC talked with the patient about the WBPI protocol used to treat ankylosing spondylitis.
After three weeks on the treatment, the patient claimed that he was doing extremely well and it was the best he had felt in 9 months. He began to really notice a difference and saw significant improvements in mobility and pain. After three months of the protocol, the patient claimed that he was 80% well. He was going to continue seeing Dr. Czepiel, DC in order to continue the healing. One thing the patient noted was that he felt that the WPBI protocol corrected his lymphatic system in the first 4 weeks of the protocol. He noticed his energy levels had increased and he had a stronger immune system. The patient also passed a kidney stone after 2 weeks of the protocol that he had had in his body for a while. "I would recommend this to anyone, and I will definitely keep you guys in mind."
