OUR PATIENTS SPEAK OUT
Here’s my story – it’s a little long, but truly heartfelt.
Two years ago I moved home to die. I was 30 years old, with two masters degrees and a decade of living independently behind me, and I remember thinking, “I am going home to die; I can’t live like this anymore”. For years I had tried to ignore the migraines, muscle achiness/pain, weight fluctuation, energy depletion, mood problems, and progressive allergies/asthma. Then I had a car accident and things couldn’t be ignored anymore. My health issues seemed to snowball at that point. A parade of doctors threw the latest and greatest meds at me and created a sparkling list of diagnoses for me including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and lupus. After the meds failed one by one (or made things worse), the diagnoses lost their meaning. I started looking to alternative medicine as a last option. I tried many different supplements with minimal results. The more I read, the more I realized I needed to find someone who could help me put it all together, rather than try to ‘hit and miss’ by myself. I was convinced that I fit into the ‘candida’ category, but couldn’t figure out the best approach. I have a medical background and it didn’t make sense to me to go on a diet for the rest of my life and assume, simply by symptoms, that things were under control. I was intrigued by Dr. B’s program because of it’s thorough clinical perspective. It’s now been a year and 3 months since I began the program. It’s hard to sum up the positive changes I’ve experienced so far – rare headaches, improved muscles, restful sleep, minimal allergies, blossoming energy, 75 pounds lost, motivation to pursue life again. No longer do I feel that my life is over, but it’s a new start. While the program itself has been intense and challenging – how can that be compared to finding ‘me’ again?! As I write this I have a hard time actually believing that it’s my true story and not a ‘drama queen’ account – it’s incredible that I’m emerging on the other side of that story and don’t have to constantly dread its’ return. God gave me an amazing gift in allowing me to find Dr. B and his program. How do you say ‘thank you’ for your life?
