Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Improved

I just wanted to express my deep appreciation for everything you have done for me. I have multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and migraine headaches. When I first arrived at the clinic I had little energy and could barely walk. I could not raise my arms above my head, and extreme numbness and burning in my hands limited their use.

After three or four days of hyperbaric oxygen treatments, I was able to walk much easier, and by the second week my hands felt better—I could put on my own make-up and hold a glass with one hand. Your genuine concern for my well-being is very comforting and encouraging. My energy has improved so much, and I no longer need medications for these conditions!

Nutrients, Not Drugs for Rheumatoid Arthritis

When Barbara came to see me, she'd had severe rheumatoid arthritis for about four years and was on Plaquenil, a rather toxic chemotherapeutic drug. Her doctor had recommended Prednisone, a powerful steroid, as the next step, but she refused. As a nurse, she was very concerned about the side effects of Plaquenil, but her pain and swelling were so severe in her hands that she couldn't work without it.

I started her on a regimen that included large doses of a phytonutrient-rich green drink, antioxidants, glucosamine sulfate, fish oil supplements, and ground flaxseed, and told her to gradually reduce her dosage of Plaquenil.

It was a bit rocky at first, as her pain and swelling increased slightly. However, after two weeks on the program, Barbara's symptoms subsided substantially, and she had more movement in her hands than she had had in years.
