Based On A True Story

Here’s a plotline we’re all familiar with, something from a novel
or a movie. After years of good health, our heroine begins to
feel less like herself. She feels sluggish and fatigued at work.
She loses her appetite and can’t sleep at night. She begins to
worry. 


So she makes an appointment with her doctor and the recommended
specialists, of which there are many. Yet, the medical diagnosis
is the same: there’s no cure for what ails her. 


Then, as in all Hollywood blockbusters, our heroine discovers a
miraculous, surprising cure, recovers her health, and lives
happily ever after. 


Hollywood describes these “ripped from the headlines” tales as
“based on a true story.” In this episode of Out to Lunch we hear
two of those true tales.


NaQuellar “Nikki” Thompson was a stay-at-home mom with three
children when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Her
doctors had no explanation why the cancer progressed so quickly,
so Nikki decided it must be in part a result of what she was
eating. She became a vegan and, after three years of living a
vegan lifestyle, opened Veganish Vibes on Bennington Avenue in
2022.


Dr. Lynn Duhe was drawn to holistic medicine by her own health
and wellness journey. In 2017, she began to suffer from
migraines. When five different doctors gave her no hope for
recovery, she turned to a chiropractor and a nutritionist for
treatment. In 2019, Lynn Duhe launched Miracle Wellness Center,
which became a full medical practice in 2022.


Nikki and Lynn both turned to alternative medical treatments
after receiving a potentially fatal diagnosis. With harrowing,
true tales “ripped from the headlines” — both Nikki and Lynn were
cured. But the story doesn’t end there. Separately, Lynn and
Nikki decided to share what they had learned from their
experiences with the public by opening their respective
businesses. And today Baton Rouge is the better for it.
