A Routine Procedure Nearly Destroyed His Health—How Dr. Josh Axe Recovered

At 42, Dr. Josh Axe—a doctor of natural medicine who had spent his career teaching millions that the body can heal—went in for a routine stem cell procedure on his back and ended up being told he might never walk again. A spinal infection migrated from his disc into his bone, and an abscess grew in his spinal cord. An infectious disease specialist looked him in the eye and said: "This is really serious. It could kill you. The most likely outcome is going to be you're going to be permanently disabled."

For 48 hours, Axe felt like his life was over. Then he prayed, and he says he felt God say: "I've got you. Just walk with me through this." He decided to do everything he could to heal—and an entire year later, after ten months of not walking at all and two months on a walker, he began to recover. Today he says he is 100%. That experience, along with watching his mother reverse lung cancer naturally, led him to write Heal Your Cells with Dr. Will Cole, focused on how to reverse conditions that conventional medicine often considers irreversible.
