Endometriosis and Infertility

Laurie was 33 when she first saw us. She suffered from severe abdominal pains for half of the month and her periods were extremely heavy. Laurie told us that her condition made it impossible for her to work or socialize for 10 days out of every month. She had been diagnosed with Endometriosis and told by her gynecologist that she will have to have her uterus and ovaries removed. She and her husband had been trying to get pregnant for the last 3 years with no results.

After doing a couple of tests for minerals and fatty acids levels, we established a special diet and supplement program and a series of micro-current treatments.

Within a month of treatment, there was an obvious change. Her second menstrual period was a lot lighter and less painful and within 4 months of starting treatment she reported only minor pains and only one heavy day of menses.

Eight months after the initial visit, Laurie called to tell us was pregnant. A healthy baby boy was born few months later.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Lena was in her early 40s when she came to see us. She had been almost bed ridden for the last year with unexplained fatigue. She had visited numerous doctors and had extensive diagnostic tests that did not show any abnormality. Her General Practitioner had sent her to see a psychiatrist.

We chose to do a couple of functional diagnostic tests for Lena that showed her to be extremely deficient in certain minerals and which also clearly showed Thyroid and Adrenal gland dysfunction. She was tested for her Metabolic Type and found to be a Fast Oxidizer, yet she had, at the recommendation of a friend, followed a raw food diet, which was not appropriate for her metabolic type. Lena was put on a program consistent of a fortifying diet, herbal supplements and vitamin B injections.

Within 6 weeks she was able to walk around her property and within 3 months she was attending to her horses and farm animals. A year later she took a teaching position and was back in good health.

Depression & Anxiety

When I first came to the center I was at one of the lowest, darkest points in my life. I was in a deep despairing depression, was loosing weight, not sleeping well, and had lost my period for several months. I felt I was drowning with no hope of escape. One thing that first touched me was the sense that they were committed to seeing me through to my health. They were there to work with me and support me in regaining, and building my foundation of wholeness, wellness, and emotion and physical health. Through the help of natural supplements, herbal tinctures, some medication, amino acid therapy for extremely low serotonin and dopamine levels, and supportive contact, I am feeling a strong and growing sense of wellbeing and wholeness within. I sleep well, am gaining some weight and my periods are balancing into a regular 28-day cycle for the first time ever! I also have made some big changes in my life and am adjusting to them with a sense of peace and love. I feel much gratitude both for the expertise and quality of care and caring I received. Thank you for all you give!

In love, health and light,

Karen -Seattle, WA

Obesity

Cheryl was 38 years old and 80 pounds overweight when she sought help from us. She was considering doing a stapling operation but was afraid of the anesthesia. She had always been a bit overweight but after having three pregnancies, her weight had escalated and become unmanageable. Cheryl had tried many diets. She had lost and gained hundreds of pounds over the last 8 years and unable to keep the weight down. She reported that every time she would try a diet, she would start to feel nervous and angry and become very unpleasant to be around.
From the detailed history we took on the first visit, we recognized that Cheryl was eating mainly in order to maintain her moods high. We assumed there was an imbalance of Serotonin and/or Dopamine levels. She was put on an amino acids program and a diet consistent with her metabolic type, as well as an exercise program.
The first thing she noticed was a sense of wellbeing and satisfaction. She was not perpetually hungry nor wanted to eat for comfort. Cheryl lost all her extra weight and many years later she was still exercising and eating to live, rather than living to eat.

Hives

Andrea was a 37 year old attorney that came to us with severe hives which were aggravated with stress. She has been put on and off on anti-histamines but her work involved court trials and she could not perform well while under medication.

We tested Andrea for food allergies and she was given a rotation diet as well as Ayurvedic herbs according to her constitution. A homeopathic anti-histaminic was also given to use only on an as needed basis should the hives appear at inconvenient times (for example in the middle of a trial).

Chronic Low Back Pain

Edwin was 71 year old when his wife called our office asking if we could help him. He had been released that morning from the local Hospital and sent home to die. He had intractable back pain. He had a series of operations and been (and still was) on numerous medications. Nothing seemed to help.

We saw Edwin three times that first week and twice a week for few weeks afterwards. Initially we used only electro-acupuncture and later on added a program of herbs and minerals. While the first 3 treatments had no effect on the pain level, some other symptoms started to change. He could move a bit easier and was able to eliminate without aids. By the third week, still suffering from the pain but feeling stronger, he started cutting down on his medications, with the approval of his orthopedic doctor.

Edwin’s pain did eventually become totally manageable with natural supplements and one or two treatments a month. A few months after he was sent home from the hospital, he could be seen working in his garden and otherwise enjoying life.
