A Truly Incredible
Story
My name is Megan Rener. I am 16 years old and a patient of Dr. Jantz for the
past 6 months. Dr. Jantz helped me get through the hardest time of my life and I
am grateful. When I was 13 years old I was admitted into St. Johns Hospital
because I became chronically ill. I was in chronic pain. I could barely walk,
and when I did my knee would buckle. I had no upper body strength and was
sensitive to light, sound, and touch. I had sore muscles, blurred vision, I was
dizzy, had headaches, sensitive to hot and cold, nauseous, diarrhea, and my
periods stopped. I couldn't sleep at night because of pain. Not sleeping made me
constantly fatigued during the day. I was in the hospital for 6 days. They ran
all kinds of blood test, spinal tap, MRI, and a painful test called EMG.
Everything was negative. I was sent home with diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I left
with the recommendation to see a psychiatrist, a neurologist, and a physical
therapist. Some of the doctors thought I was faking the pain. My life was
consumed with doctors. It was a very difficult time for my family and I. I lost
all my motor skills. I couldn't brush my teeth, write, and perform many other
everyday skills such as lifting a glass to get a drink, and using a fork to eat.
I couldn't even walk right. My mother was and is my hero. When I was sick she
did my
 hair,
bathed me, fed me, and contacted the school so I could get a homebound teacher.
I felt helpless and ashamed. As time went on and with the help of physical
therapy, I progressed. I began to walk again and most of my strength came back,
but I was still having symptoms of chronic pain and fatigue. Not only that but I
was still sensitive to light, sound, and touch. I was out of school for three
months. When I went back to school everybody was spreading rumors that I was
faking it. This was very discouraging. In February, I had another flare-up. Once
again, I went through months of physical therapy and missed a month and a half
of school. A few months later, symptoms seemed to subside somewhat, although I
still had the pain and sensitivity. My mom couldn't even hug me because it hurt.
The year that followed was a little better. I started at a new high school and
the kids were much better. I looked like I was functioning normal on the
outside, but I still felt terrible. There where many times my pain and chronic
fatigue got the best of me and I accidentally fell asleep in class. I was giving
up hope and was accepting the fact that this was
how life was going to be. My mother would spend hours on the Internet trying to
find treatments that could help me. She was always pulling me from school to go
yet to another doctor and have more tests. I even went for acupuncture. For a
year she made me be on a special diet of whole foods with no sugar and no
additives. This was hard for me being a teenager not being able to eat pizza or
snacks and having to watch everyone eat theirs. Then one day my mom was talking
to a nurse practitioner. She mentioned an alternative doctor who specialized in
Chiropractic and alternative medicine, his name was Dr. Jantz. The nurse
practitioner had heard of a boy with a problem that the doctors could not help.
Dr. Jantz had cured him of an unknown allergy to something at his school. At
this time I was seeing around 5 different doctors and was taking over 30
supplements a day.
With my mothers persistence, she made an appointment with Dr. Jantz. This was
the turning point of the ailment. I am also a good friend of Dr. Jantz's son. He
told me that if I stuck with his dad's treatments, I would get better,
guaranteed! I was very skeptical about Dr. Jantz at first, but in a last effort
I had to be trusting. The first time I went into Dr. Jantz's office I noticed
right away that his staff was very enthusiastic about getting me better. I knew
this time it would be different. Dr. Jantz cared about everything I was going
through. He spent time with me and investigated my illness. I stopped taking the
supplements and took just a couple of the ones that he said I still needed. I
aggressively started getting AACT treatments (advanced allergy clearing
treatments) 2-3 times per week to get rid of the many sensitivities that I had.
We had never heard of this kind of treatment, but my mom was willing to try
anything. Within a few weeks under the hands of Dr. Jantz and his staff, I was
feeling better. My energy level increased and my pain decreased. He continued to
treat me and I was finally feeling the relief I longed for. That year I became
the captain of the varsity cheerleading team, earned a catholic medal, and
played softball. To this day, Dr. Jantz is still treating me but only once every
month or two. He plans on improving my health from 95% to 110%. Thank you Dr.
Jantz for saving me in my time of despair. The person I am most eager to thank
is my mother for never giving up on me and never taking no for an answer. Mom, I
truly believe you're my guardian angel. Other people I would like to thank are
my two little brothers and my father for putting up with me on my bad days and
encouraging me to achieve full recovery. Thanks to everyone who helped me in my
time of need.
Sincerely
Megan R.
Note: One of the interesting aspects of Megan's case was heavy metal poisoning
from mercury even though she had no mercury dental filling in her mouth. We have
to assume that the mercury came from mom in the womb, vaccinations {thimerosol
preservative has mercury in it}, and fish. Besides allergy treatments the key
handling was a product called "Metal Free" to detox the mercury out of her body!
