Dana Nelson

Question:
Hi, I am Dana Gillian and I’m speaking today with Dana Nelson, a pharmacy owner and a chemist from San Luis Obispo, California. Mr. Nelson is a Fellow in the Yankee Society for consultant pharmacists, as well the holder of a masters qualification in Physiology Pharmacology. Mr. Nelson shares today his professional experiences with the Wiley Protocol.

How has the Wiley Protocol influenced your pharmacy business?

Dana Nelson:
It has increased our practice significantly which is good for us but its also good for the community. It’s given the community of round chair a place to get good info, solid info on the hormone replacement not only just for females except for males also. As the protocols expand, it has been able to have other parts of our business increase also. As folk come in, they see that we offer a spread of services and they begin to use them. So, it is a win-win for everybody.

Question:
How did the Wiley Protocol get to your attention?

Dana Nelson:
Essentially some patients brought an opportunity to me. They’ve been employing a Santa Barbara pharmacy which was inconvenient in terms of location, so they approached me and questioned if I could provide the protocol for them, so I studied it. Performed some research on it and I thought it definitely was a very good concept.

Question:
The Wiley Protocol benefits what type of patients most?

Dana Nelson:
That is’s an engaging question because there’s no real prototypical Wiley protocol patient. We have got young teens between 18 and 19 being given treatment for PCOS and endometriosis, while we also have aged patients who just desire an enhanced standard of living. Some adjustments and work are needed. We are able to get the positive outcomes that we are looking for if the patient has commitment to an outcome, as well as by titration and working in enough locations.

Question:
You said you’re treating eighteen and 19-year-olds. A 20-year-old’s hormone is used in the cream substitute. How does that help a 19 year old?

Dana Nelson :
Not all eighteen year olds are normal. Some eighteen and nineteen year olds have endometriosis. They have a variety of hormone imbalances due to PCOS. You know, we think about most eighteen, 19, 20, 25 year olds as being healthy but not all are and so with some of those patients, this has been very effective for them.

Question:
What have been the best advantages to you as a pharmacist from using the Wiley Protocol?

Dana Nelson:
I have made a large amount of friends. My patients became extraordinarily close to me and that is’s glorious but also we can do plenty of good in folks’s lives. Some folk will say that we have basically turned our lives around and that’s a very uplifting and rewarding thing to hear from anyone. That is’s essentially why we do what we do.

Question :
What do you find most useful about Biomimetic Hormone Restoration treatment as a pharmacist?

Dana Nelson :
My patient’s outcomes have always been better by trying the rhythmic cyclic technique, Biomimetic Hormone Replacement. In a cycle, it is a more natural replacement system. Instead of an a few times a day dose, it actually allows a return to normalcy on variable dosing or static dosing. In hormone therapy, there are daily, monthly, yearly, and seasonal changes in the body’s reactions, and this is because of our circadian rhythms, and most people don’t really think about that and treat on that. But, this is exploring treating that way and there’s a lot of research not solely in medicine but in other parts of science about treating regarding cycles and waves and how they change seasonally so we actually can see a better, more predicted response.

Question:
What do you hear from your patients about the Wiley Protocol? How’re they responding to it?

Dana Nelson :
Usually, my patients adore it. There are some individuals that it’s not worked for, however, as it’s not for everyone. Likely, the amount of patients I have that are still on it amount to about 90 p.c. To maintain it, they are going to fight to the finish for it.
