He's spent 50 years treating the cases other doctors gave up on, and one of his earliest patients was an 8-year-old girl who was about to be put on antipsychotics for something no one could explain.
It started with a detail her mother almost dismissed: her daughter took baths with a "mermaid."
At eight years old, you assume that's just imagination. It wasn't.
In this conversation, Dr. Jess Armine, a former paramedic, ER nurse, and 50-year healthcare provider turned chiropractor, walks through how he traced that little girl's symptoms back to something almost nobody was looking for, and how a young woman having 25 seizures a month got her life back using the same approach.
We also get into why your multivitamin might not be doing what you think it's doing, the real hierarchy of supplement absorption, and the comprehensive gut-health protocol steps Dr. Armine says you can't go wrong doing, whether or not you've ever been formally diagnosed with anything.
