There Is Hope for Your Tongue Problem!

Dear Tongue Sufferer,

You’re stuck! You’ve visited doctor after doctor (or website after website) and they all say the same thing… your tongue problems are no problem.  They’re benign… nothing serious… nothing to worry about… no treatment is necessary.

So why are you still looking?

Because you know deep down inside that “they” are WRONG!

There has to be a solution.  A tongue that looks like raw hamburger or has rough ugly patches, white rings, taste buds falling off, a black (or white) coating is not just ugly and nasty but it can’t be healthy, can it?

You know other people don’t want to  look at that mess. You don’t even want to look at it! So how can others not be grossed out and disgusted?  Sometimes it’s even painful… not just to look at… but it actually feels painful as well!

Those doctors have a lot of nerve saying it’s NOT serious.  Some have gone so far as to say that it is “all in your head”.  Well it’s NOT all in your head!  It’s in your tongue or in your mouth and it is a real problem. It’s actually a sillent epidemic. Approximately 3% of the worl’s population is suffering with geographic tongue alone and that’s not counting all the people with other tongue problems.

And YES there is a real solution! It seems like when ever they don’t know the answer to something… they tell you it is “all in your head” or some other nonsense. Don’t believe it!

Who am I… and why can you trust me when everyone else is saying the exact opposite of what I am telling you?

My name is Tim McMahon and I’ve been where you are today and I’ve done it.  I’ve kicked Geographic Tongue out and have helped hundreds of other to do exactly the same thing.

Here is what one of those people has said,

Hi Tim,

My daughter is 98 % back to normal… It took 3 weeks for her tongue to improve. At first it kept getting worse and I felt like giving up. Thank you very much. Your book and advice was the answer to my prayers… Thank you! Her geographic tongue is no longer!  Christine and Sylvia

 

 

 

But perhaps that was just a coincidence it would have gotten better anyway… right?

Dear Tim,

I got geographic tongue while pregnant and still have it (I am still nursing). It has gotten worse. At first I was wondering if your system would work on pregnancy induced geo tongue but I have to tell you this- I started on the treatment you mentioned and my tongue cleared up in two days!

I cannot imagine that it could be a coincidence. I have not had a new lesion begin and it’s now been five or six days. I don’t think I have gone that long without something flaring up in a long time. I will be curious to see if I need to continue taking it after I quit breastfeeding. Anyway, I am so happy and appreciative. Thanks for your help! Karen Trevino

Now I have to admit two days is unusual!  Normally it takes 7-10 days for a tongue to replace it’s surface. Actually it is doing it all the time. Your tongue is actually an amazing organ. It is almost like a starfish that can replace it’s limbs if one gets broken off.

Your tongue can (and does) replace it’s surface. It has to… In the normal course of eating you may burn the surface or scrape it or bite it.  So your tongue is designed to constantly be rebuilding itself. And in the normal course of events, given the proper “building blocks” it does that quite well. The problem comes in when it doesn’t have all the blocks necessary to build with.

Imagine trying to build a brick wall and you know you need 100 bricks…

But you only have 90… or 80… or 60…

What do you do?

Well you start building and you get half-way done and you start substituting what you do have…  maybe a lttle extra mortar here and a little extra there… but before long you realize if you keep that up you won’t have enough mortar either.  So what do you do?  Maybe a small rock or pebble will do… but now the brick wall isn’t as smooth as it used to be.  Maybe you have to start using mud and sticks instead of bricks… and before long your nice, straight, new, brick wall is a lumpy, bumpy, mess!

That’s exactly what is going on with your tongue on a day in and day out basis. Your body is constantly trying to rebuild itself, replacing worn out and damaged parts but if you don’t give it the nutritional building blocks it needs… it can’t just stop and wait for you… it has to do the best it can with what it has.

So it “makes do”…  your body skimps here and substitutes there.  It allocates resources to where they are needed most.

Let’s see should I send those nutrients to the brain or the tongue?

Hmmm, let me think I guess this time I’ll choose the brain.

Not exactly,  the brain, heart, liver, and almost everything else takes priority over your sense of taste. Perhaps it’s even a survival mechanism.  If you can’t taste maybe you won’t be so picky and you will be willing to eat something you normally wouldn’t… and maybe that bad tasting something will have the nutrients your body needs that you can’t get elsewhere.

So now you may be wondering how I discovered the secret to repairing sick tongues…

That’s a good question. It all started when I was a teenager…

Back then, my dad worked for Pan Am (that dates me a bit since they went out of business in 1991), but anyway because my dad worked for the airlines we were able to travel quite a bit (a habit I have tried to keep up by the way).  One year we went to Ireland and Germany… another, we went to Mexico.  And that trip to Mexico is where my troubles began.

It seems that during that trip, I picked up a bad case of “Montezuma’s revenge” or traveler’s diarrhea.  It was the worst case I have ever had… it seems like I spent half the trip in the bathroom.  But after a while I seemed to recover. The operative word there is “seemed”…

Throughout High School, I had recurring bouts of intestinal problems and was diagnosed by my family doctor as having an “Irritable Bowel”.  According to him I was too stressed out about school and so the problem in my stomach was really in my head! (Like I said before when they don’t know the answer the problem must be in Your Head).

Well, I didn’t buy that, since my problems didn’t go away during the summer and life for a high school kid spending his days swimming and hanging out on the beach on Long Island isn’t all that stressful!

But things got progressively worse and eventually I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. The diagnosis didn’t help much Doctors now had a name for it… but I continued to have problems.  Eventually, I made it through a private engineering college in Upstate New York, where I learned the keys to doing good research… which eventually led to saving my life. But I’ll get to that in a minute.

You see,  like most college kids… I got by eating a lot of junk food and I put on a bit of weight.  I started college at 120lbs and ended at 135lbs. But after college,  the Crohn’s disease got progressively worse and I started losing weight.  Eventually, a friend of mine actually accused me of being anorexic…

But the fact of the matter was it was just too painful to eat!

I would eat a few bites and then be in such pain that I would literally roll around on the floor.  Obviously,  it was difficult to eat under those conditions. I couldn’t go out for longer than a couple of hours because eating was so painful.  And I always had to plan my trips so I knew were the closest bathroom was (because I never knew when the “runs” would hit me).   So I went to doctor after doctor.  And during this time I developed white patches on my tongue that seemed to migrate around.  I later discovered that it was a combination of thrush (yeast) and geographic tongue.

During the treatment process for the Crohn’s disease I found that antibiotics killed the thrush (temporarily)  but once I stopped taking them the thrush would come back worse than ever!

Eventually… slowly but surely… I went from a healthy active 135 pounds down to 95 pounds and looking like something out of a concentration camp. My body was so weak my hair started falling out.

Remember I said that your body prioritizes the use of scarce resources? It seems, hair is not high on the priority list either.

I finally convinced a doctor he had to do something… or I was going to waste away to nothing.

So I had surgery. The doctor removed about 1/3rd of my intestines and believe it or not afterward I was feeling wonderful …

I was fortunate, I found a surgeon that knew the benefits of nutrition (at least in theory) and I convinced him that rather than just giving me clear sugar water in my IV,  how about putting some vitamins in there?  He agreed and I made sure the nurses in the hospital didn’t miss a single one.  If they tried to give me the clear stuff, I made them take it back and bring the yellow one with the vitamins in it!  And the doctors and nurses were amazed… I healed in “record time”.  Imagine that… Someone with a steady stream of vitamins heals faster than someone living on sugar water alone.  “Who’d a thunk it?” 🙂

For the next year I was on “Cloud Nine”, going to the beach,  building muscle, running, exercizing, having a great time doing all the things I hadn’t been able to do for the last couple of years… it was wonderful! Except that after the surgery,  I began developing a really bad case of Geographic Tongue and so on one of my follow-up visits with the surgeon I asked him about it and he nonchalantly said, “Oh, we removed the only portion of your intestines that absorbs B-12 so you are probably deficient in that… you will need to take injections for the rest of your life.”

Uh, well wouldn’t it have been nice if you had told me that before?…

Not that it would have prevented me from having the surgery but I could have started on the injections earlier and had less problems…

But then I may not have discovered ….

After starting the injections I found that my Geographic Tongue was gone! At least as long as I took the injections regularly. That was my first clue that Geographic Tongue can be nutritionally based!  (Unfortunately, since everyone is different… B-12 isn’t the only cause but it is certainly a good place to start.)

So I started using the research skills I had developed in college to research nutrition and natural ways of healing.  Not that I avoided doctors all together… because after about a year the pains started coming back!  I was devastated.  It was one of the worst days of my life. I had put on a bit of weight by then and I didn’t want to go back to being a walking skeleton!  I had just started enjoying life again… It wasn’t fair!

And in addition to my stomach problems, my geographic tongue was getting worse again.

So that was lesson #2- Listen to Your Tongue

The first lesson I learned was that vitamins can help your tongue improve.  And the second lesson was to actually pay attention to what your tongue is trying to tell you. Don’t stress over it, it’s not a major catastrophe, it is just your tongue trying to tell you something. But you do need to pay attention.

You need to do something different than you have been doing lately.  Something has changed… something isn’t right… maybe you are under more stress physically from sickness or work. Maybe it is mental stress from worry or dealing with sick relatives, etc  or even emothional stress.

Whatever it is your body is no longer getting enough nutrients to keep up with the rebuilding process.  Maybe you’re being bombarded by bacteria or viruses or yeast. And you may need to reduce the stress, get more sleep or give your body something that it is missing. But you can’t ignore it!  Or it will get worse, and not just your tongue other things will start to give way.

Once I learned this secret…

Now by keeping an eye on my tongue I can tell when I might be coming down with a cold or virus (or when I have just forgotten to take my vitamins for a while). And I can head it off before it gets too bad. But that’s not all…

When the student is ready the teacher appears…

You may have heard the old saying, when the student is ready the teacher apears.  Well, in my case the teacher was a real estate agent. You see…

During this time I had moved from New York (where I thought the “best” doctors were)  to the back of beyond… where it would probably be impossible to find good health care, or so I thought. When I first moved to Bedford, a small town in central Virginia between Lynchburg and Roanoke, I was still in the process of recovering from my surgery.  The fresh mountain air was wonderful, and life was good.  But it wasn’t perfect.  Something still wasn’t right. I had a white coating on my tongue, I knew it wasn’t those same old bald patches with the white rings around it… it was something else.

It turned out that all the antibiotics and steroids I had been taking for years had killed off all the good bacteria in my system and by now the “Yeast” or “Candida” had taken over.  So even though I was able to treat the geographic tongue with vitamin injections… the thrush continued to get worse and eventually the Crohn’s disease came back as well. As the thrush got worse, my overall system got weaker and my body wasn’t able to deal with the outside stresses, so the slightest little thing would “put me over the top”… I developed food allergies, fatigue, mold allergies, my body just didn’t have the reserves to handle anything extra… I was going down hill fast.

Thrush is just a visible sign that Candida is all over your body, it was taking over my digestive system, poisoning my blood and overall weakening my system.

But providentially the lady who was our real estate agent said she had just been reading a book on yeast and it sounded like that was what I had.  And I should get the book.  So once again I started researching.  I guess someone was watching out for me, because  it turned out that one of the doctors mentioned in the book as specializing in Yeast ran “Mount Rogers Clinic” a small doctor’s office way out in the boonies of Virginia.  And Mount Rogers was exactly two hours and forty minutes away from me. No back roads even it was big highways most of the way, just hop on US-460 to Interstate 81 and I could be there. WOW!

I’m sure I wouldn’t have gone all the way to Virginia to this clinic had I still lived in New York, but this was perfect.  The doctor believed in looking at things the typical establishment ignored and he specialized in Yeast problems, what more could I ask for? So I made an appointment and spent half the day on the road (there and back) and half the day at his clinic.  He did a thorough exhaustive exam and recommended Nystatin for the yeast. But he used the commonly prescribed drug “Nystatin” in an entirely different way. He explained that the regular way is to swish the liquid around in you mouth for a few seconds and then swallow.  But he told me that this is almost useless. Plus, he said, that most doctors prescribe it for much too short a time so the problem comes right back.

I don’t have time to get into the whole thing here but if you are interested, I cover the full details on the proper way to kill yeast and restore the good bacteria in my book.

Anyway, my yeast was so bad that I had to start with an almost microscopic dose of Nystatin.

 

And it started killing off the yeast all right… but it made me sick as a dog.

Once again the doctor didn’t tell me everything.  It seems that there is something called a Herxheimer’s reaction.  If you kill off the yeast your body has to eliminate all those dead yeast and that can actually make you feel worse for a while. (It seemed to me the yeast weren’t going to give up without a fight.) They were making me sick trying to convince me to go back to my old habits of eating sugar which fed them and made me feel better.  Well, anyway, it would have been nice if the doctor would have warned me this was going to happen… I would have been prepared for it… well maybe he did and I just wasn’t listening.

So after a call to the doctor, I was encouraged to continue on for a little while longer… it was actually a good thing that I was feeling bad!  The nasty critters are losing the battle…

Anyway, after a week or so, as the yeast population got less control of my system and I started feeling better. So I was able to increase the dosage, and before long my tongue no longer had the thick white coating and I was doing much better.

It’s Baaaaaaack…

Unfortunately, once again, the good times didn’t last and my Crohn’s disease came back. So I had to try to find a new Gastroenterologist (stomach and intestines doctor).  I was fortunate in find a young doctor in the  big city of Lynchburg (pop. 50,000) who wasn’t afraid to try new things.

He did some tests to confirm that the Crohn’s was back (and it was) and he said, “We found that this medicine works in some cases of Crohn’s disease but we don’t know why, do you want to try it?”  I jumped at the chance!  I would do anything not to have to go back to the pain and suffering I had gone through before.
So he prescribed a medicine called “Flagyl” 3 pills a day for a total of 10 days.  But this time I didn’t just blindly follow the doctor’s advice and pop some pills. Before starting I went to the library and did some research on my own (we didn’t have the luxury of the internet in those days).  I found that Flagyl is used for a variety of things. First, I found it is used to treat alcoholics.  It seems that it makes you sick to even smell alcohol while taking Flagyl.  But I didn’t think that was the reason it helps Crohn’s disease. So I kept looking…

Then I found that it is used around the world to kill intestinal bacteria.  Hmmm,  my problems started with that problem in Mexico…  So I developed a plan to introduce good bacteria into my system after killing off all the bad stuff with the Flagyl.  It worked!  Another step in my system of promoting health was forming.
So the first step I found in controlling geographic tongue is nutrition, and the second step is to listen to your tongue and the third step is to develop healthy intestinal “flora” by eliminating the bad bacteria and yeast and replacing them with good healthy bacteria… This promotes better digestion… which in turn results in better absorption of nutrients and better overall health.

Over the years I was able to expand on that basic formula and then one day I was talking to my friend Allison…

Allison began losing weight. At first it looked good on her (I thought she’d gone on a diet or something) but before long I knew there was a problem. She said she had pain when she ate.  That sounded familiar so I asked if she had Crohn’s disease… and she said no… the doctor’s said her problem was fibromyalgia which was causing her pain whenever she ate.

So like in my case, she would stop eating before she had gotten enough calories to maintain her normal weight.  And somehow this resulted in geographic tongue for her too.

Since the doctors weren’t much help, I knew I had to do something!

So I began putting together some of my old research into a report that I could give to Allison. In addition, I turned my efforts toward finding even more information for my friend.

It became a quest, an adventure, a search for the Holy Grail of health…

Well sometimes my wife says I can become a bit obsessive. Anyway, I spent the next two years compiling all sorts of information that I would periodically give to Allison. And by the time I was done I had 145 8½ x 11 pages of useful information on all types of tongue problems.

Allison was absolutely thrilled with all the information I put together for her… here is what she had to say when I emailed her the information in my report.

WOW!!!!!! This looks great and exactly what I’m dealing with… and there is actually a name to it! I really like my doctor, but it makes me wonder why he doesn’t know this! … Sometimes I feel you are the only one who really knows what I was going through because you experienced it!– Thanks, Allison

Yes, She really put all those exclaimation points in there. To say she was happy was an understatement.

In my quest to find every scrap of information on geographic tongue and other tongue problems, I even found a real live medical doctor that had developed a nutritional therapy for his patients with Geographic Tongue.

So it wasn’t just me after all… there were actually doctors that had come to the same conclusion I had.  And I began finding research in places like Japan and even Scotland that tied fancy sounding things like “recovery from taste receptor disturbance”, (say what?  Oh they must mean bald patches on the tongue) to various specific vitamins and minerals. Things like:

A Doctor in England says,

• A specific mineral deficiency can cause a pale fissured tongue.
• A Vitamin deficiency that can cause a sore painful fissured tongue.

A recent study in Napoli, Italy found

•  A link between a “miracle antioxidant” deficiency and burning mouth syndrome.

Tests on rats showed,

• A taste abnormality appeared quickly when there is even a slight deficiency of another mineral.
• The same mineral resulted in lingual (tongue) nerves sensitivities (tongue or mouth pain) and has even been linked to tongue or throat cancer.

A Scottish study on 25 Geographic Tongue patients showed that, supplementation with this same mineral cured almost all cases.

Plus other studies have shown,

• Another vitamin deficiency can cause a painful sore tongue with a smooth appearance
• Cheilosis (A disorder of the lips characterized by fissures, especially in the corners of the mouth) has been tied to another vitamin deficiency.

So research is finally building to show what I found many years ago, and the pieces of the puzzle are finally coming together.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have all of these pieces in one place? Well now you can.  Since, I spent hundreds of hours putting all of this information together you don’t have to.  You can have it all in one place. So that you can benifit just like Jon. Here’s what Jon had to say in his own words.

Hi Tim,

I have suffered from Geographic Tongue ever since I was about 7 or 8. There have been some good spells and really really bad spells.

Many years of seeing my doctor came to no result, I’d never really been able to pin it down to something that I was eating. Which is where the doctors and I thought the problem lay.

I tried mouthwashes and stopping eating irritative foods like baked beans and oranges. Which only slightly curbed the problem.

I felt that I was stuck with the problem for the rest of my life and that I’d never be able to move on. It was as though the medical profession had drawn the line in its research and had just sent out a generic answer to give all patients with the condition – “if it doesn’t hurt, then it’s not a problem”.

Then when I was nearly at the end of my tether I found your “Healthy Tongue Secrets” book on the internet and found that there are millions out there suffering like me.

On August 19^th I bought your Healthy Tongue Secrets book and began looking for solutions based on the premise of treating it from the inside – out rather than just treating the tongue externally.

Your book has taught me ways of dealing with my problem and how to deal with the problem that the medical profession couldn’t throw a cure at.

After only a month, it is much better already! As you can see from the before and after pictures!

Before	After 1 Month

Thanks so much for the help!

Dear Tim,

 

Thank you for saving me…YES, saving me. Without your hard work and e-book I’m not sure the condition I would be in today.

I have suffered geographical tongue for perhaps two years. My doctor said, “You picked the wrong parents, it’s nothing to worry about, it’s painless.” Sound familiar? I tried to forget it but it became increasingly harder to do.

I searched the internet for info and gathered bits and pieces but nothing concrete. I had all but given up when I tried, years later, to search the internet again. I wasn’t hopeful because I had looked before. But this time I found your site…the site that would change my life in more ways than one…

In eight days I am totally changed!! By the fourth day I had reversed all my symptoms including that horrible depression my doctor said was menopause. It wasn’t menopause at all!

I thought I was losing my mind and to make matters worse I was battling an extreme bout with GT.

I am a changed person and I owe it all to you. What a difference you’ve made in my life. I want you to know that I am SO happy to have found your site.

I am sending a before and after shot of my tongue. I wish I had taken a shot a day or two before I took this one on the 12th of May. It doesn’t look too terribly bad but it was.

Before	After

 

I was impressed, before buying your e-book, that you offered a money back guarantee. I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. With that you gained my trust. I HAD to trust somebody and my doctor was obviously not the right choice.

There is so much information in your e-book…I am still reading it. Thanks again Tim. Words cannot express my gratitude. One by one you are enriching lives that desperately need your help!

Best Wishes,
Charlene Ashley
