Case Studies: Helen Rheumatoid Arthritis, Binge Eating Disorder

WeMED treated Helen and eradicated her tendonitis, significantly reduced her painful psoriatic arthritis, and helped her become active again.

When Helen first visited weMED, she was determined to find a solution to the psoriatic arthritis plaguing her body as well as the months-long tendonitis she suffered in both elbows. Additionally, Helen suffered from anxiety and depression, hypothyroidism, and acid reflux. On a daily basis, she battled fatigue from poor sleep, as well as tremors in her hands. She also suffered from inflammation throughout her body, which blocked her circulation, meridians, nerves, and acupuncture points.

Our measurements are on a scale of 1-10, with 1 representing virtually no pain and completely healthy, and 10 representing the worst pain you’ve ever felt or very unhealthy.
