"My Mom's Results Are Almost Unbelievable"

I sent my mom to the Back to Health Program at the Whitaker Wellness Institute in Newport Beach, California. She had a lot of problems. She had very poor blood flow in her legs and had given up walking for two years because of the pain. She had diabetes and had to take insulin shots. She was also taking eight other prescription medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other ailments.

Dr. Whitaker has treated more than 30,000 patients with high doses of vitamins and minerals, diet changes, exercise, and nonsurgical therapies like EECP and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. My mom had all of those, and here's what happened.

After the first few weeks, the pain in her legs was completely gone, and she's taken up walking again. She is now walking two miles a day. Over this time her insulin was gradually reduced, her blood sugar levels are normal, and she is now off insulin completely. Believe this or not, all other medications have been slowly reduced, and now she is taking none.

She is feeling great, her blood sugar is normal, her blood pressure is normal, and it's like she's come back to life again. Dr. Whitaker told me that not every patient gets as good as results as my mom did, but I can tell you my mom's results are real and almost unbelievable.

"The Best Decision I Have Ever Made"

When I attended your Back to Health Program, I was not in good shape. My glucose level hit a high of 856, and I was taking 20 units of insulin a day. I had lost 22 pounds, my ability to think clearly was severely hindered, and my overall sense of well-being was at an all time low. Spiritually, I was spent.

One year after attending your wellness clinic I feel better than I have felt at any point in my life. My glucose levels have normalized between 70 and 120. I am completely off insulin (I still test myself regularly). My weight has stabilized to an ideal number for my height. I am lifting weights, swimming, and jogging on a regular basis. My cognitive function has been fully restored, and memory lapses are a thing of the past. Negative thoughts have completely dissipated, and my family and friends have noticed that I am full of life again.

When I asked the medical personnel here in the east about attending the Whitaker Wellness Clinic in Newport Beach, CA, I was told not to waste my money. It probably will not do any good. Just like when I was a kid and my mother told me not to do something, I chose not to listen. It was the best decision I have ever made. (I do listen to mom these days.) It is truly a medical miracle how I feel.

You are right on the mark with everything you said. When I spoke of diet, nutrition, and exercise with my doctors in Northern Virginia, they stared at me as if I was crazy. They had no knowledge of the benefits of chromium picolinate, Coenzyme Q10, vanadyl sulfate, magnesium, etc. The only thing they could advise me to do for my elevated blood sugar count was to take drugs such as Diabeta and/or additional units of insulin. In addition, for my depressed state of mind the drug Prozac was pushed on me as if it were Halloween candy. I actually took it for awhile to satisfy the doctors here.

I am continuing to follow the low fat, low sugar, high fiber diet. In addition, I am taking the vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements on regular basis. I truly appreciate everyone at the Whitaker Wellness Institute for standing by me during this very turbulent time in my life. I know that I was a difficult patient. I apologize for that. You are all wonderful people who genuinely care about people getting well and staying well.

In closing, I would like to let you know that my wife and I have had a recent addition to our family. She is beautiful. Her name is Shana Rose Robinson. As stated above, my health is doing fine. I firmly believe if there were more health practitioners such as Dr. Whitaker, and more wellness clinics such as the Whitaker Wellness Institute across the United States, there would not be the crisis that exists in healthcare today.

A Remarkable Success Story

Roxann is a 64-year-old woman from Bremerton, Washington. She was diagnosed with diabetes at age 26 and has been on insulin for 16 years. She developed several diabetic complications, including retinopathy (she has had laser surgery on her eyes), heart disease (two heart attacks, angina, hypertension, and a recommendation for bypass surgery), and an open ulcer on her right foot that, despite surgery, refused to heal. She was also plagued with psoriasis, and her arms, legs, and trunk were covered with red, oozing patches of thickened, scaly skin.

However, her most debilitating problem was diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage that affects a majority of diabetics. She had no sensation at all in her feet, which made walking without assistance nearly impossible, and her thighs were so painful that merely holding her cat in her lap was excruciating.

Over the years Roxann consulted more than a dozen physicians for her multitude of problems. She tried scores of different drugs and was on nine prescriptions when she first came to us. She had read about the clinic in Health & Healing, but never seriously considered coming here. After all, she was consulting the best doctors and was assured that she was receiving the highest standard of care. Only when she hit rock bottom did she decide to give us a try.

Roxann and her daughter enrolled in our week-long Back to Health Program. She was placed on a healthful diet and began a modest exercise program and a comprehensive nutritional regimen. Given the severity of her condition, her physician also prescribed a course of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Within three days, Roxann noticed a return of sensation in her feet. The roughness of the shower mat, the coolness of the tile, the differing textures of the bathroom rug and the bedroom carpet: Small details, but for Roxann, who once unknowingly walked around all day with a thumbtack in her foot, this was enormous progress. Over the next few days the pain in her legs diminished. She was so delighted with her progress that she decided to stay at the clinic for two more weeks to continue these therapies. By the end of her second week, she was walking normally. In fact, she and her daughter walked around Disneyland for seven hours, then strolled around Catalina Island the next day.

Roxann was equally impressed with the improvements in her psoriasis. She still had patches of pink and scaly skin, but the oozing and bleeding had stopped completely. The blurred vision in her left eye cleared, her blood pressure fell into the normal range, and she had no more angina. Furthermore, her insulin dose was cut in half, and a handful of her other drugs were discontinued. Roxann was ecstatic and utterly amazed. "It's a miracle. I want to jump on the rooftop and tell the world about it!"

Not to boast, but we are frequently blessed with "miracles" at the Whitaker Wellness Institute. Like Roxann, patients often come here as a last resort, after every conventional approach (i.e., drugs and surgery) has failed, leaving them with little hope. For patients told that nothing else could be done for them, getting well is indeed miraculous. There's really no mystery here. We simply treat our patients with well-researched, patient-proven therapies that conventional medicine chooses to ignore.

"My Visit Gave Me Hope"

My visit not only gave me hope to be able to recover from so many health problems but I actually experienced progress in several areas. I feel like I got a "jump start" in my recovery during my one week visit.

I'm able to breathe better and I don't have shortness of breath or pain in my chest after walking to and from the clinic. I have so much more energy and I don't feel bloated after eating the meals. All of the treatments I received this week helped me feel so much better. I felt immediate results from the IV therapy treatments as well as from the acupuncture and reflexology.

The lectures were so informative. This is the first time I actually have an understanding of how my body is supposed to work and what I need to do to have excellent health. I was so excited to hear that prolotherapy could help my right ankle heal form torn ligaments after being told by traditional doctors that there was nothing they could do for me and that my ankle would continue to get worse.

The Whitaker Wellness Institute staff is all so wonderful and professional. They made me feel like I really mattered and that they really wanted to help me get well. Thank you, I am so grateful for such a positive experience.

"We've Each Taken Off About 30 Pounds"

My wife Virginia and I came to the Whitaker Wellness Institute for her stroke that caused left side weakness necessitating the use of a cane. After six weeks on the recommended medical treatments, diet, and supplements, she is now back to normal! The hyperbaric treatments she received helped her regain her mobility, and she is now back driving her car after nearly two years of depending on me as her chauffeur. We have each taken off about 30 pounds as of this writing and will no doubt lose a bit more. The best of health to you!

"They Were So Caring and Helpful"

A dream came true when my husband Carl and I came to the Whitaker Wellness Institute! What a wonderful place. I can't say enough good things about everyone. They were so caring and helpful. My doctor was so knowledgeable, good, and kind. She discovered that my gastrointestinal problems, abdominal pain, and fatigue were related to menopause and told me exactly what I needed to do. In less than one week I was feeling much better — and I'm feeling better all the time! I thank the Lord daily for leading me to the Whitaker Wellness Institute.
