What's the most important vitamin? According to Dr. Mark Vance it's one of two: either the vitamin you need the most (the one you're most deficient in) or perhaps most importantly - Vitamin H, or Vitamin "Hope". Prior to being involved with alternative therapies for hard to treat / difficult aliments - Dr. Vance began his medical career by pursuing knowledge and experience through traditional pathways common to medical practitioners. It was after a unique experience with a patient in desperate need for alternative medicine that Dr. Vance finally found his true calling in life and started his own medical practice at Vance Medical. After becoming acquainted with David Lyons and the MS Fitness Challenge, Mark decided to get involved with the MSFC and render his support as the charity's Director of Medical Services.

Some key takeaways:

  • Mark's interest in becoming a doctor based upon a mission to help others
  • General disinterest / lack of passion for the practice enticed Dr. Vance to consider alternative therapies
  • The impact Mark's newfound purpose in life had on his career and his outlook on life
  • Friction between the alternative therapies and the overall medical community and why it exists
  • How one question would manifest itself as one of the greatest opportunities of Mark's life
  • Recollections of last year's MSFC Training Camp and personal insights of how Dr. Vance's alternative treatments proved to break the barriers of seemingly insurmountable skepticism
  • After heeding a patient's recommendation, Mark would get the chance to meet David Lyons and his wife Kendra
  • A basic breakdown of some of the most effective alternative therapies for people with MS to include: herbal remedies, hormone therapy, intravenous vitamin C, and perhaps most promising - Low Dose Naltrexone.
  • Opportunities for listeners to get involved and advocate for the benefits of alternative therapies for MS
  • Strong and compelling reminders to take your daily dose of "Vitamin H"
