Summary
Book-excerpt account (from "Diagnosis Unknown") quoted on the forum describing Linda Smith's illness, which had left her unable to walk unassisted, in constant pain, with swollen feet/fingers and largely bedridden after 5+ years. Following an extended alternative-medicine workup and dental cavitation surgery on her upper molars, longstanding swelling around her left eye "entirely disappeared within two weeks." Presented in the source book as a successful recovery trajectory; the forum thread adds no independent confirmation of long-term durability.
