When you asked me to write my success story I wasn’t exactly sure what I would say. Taking these vitamins certainly has helped me but not like I expected. Let me explain.
Before the vitamins I was “down in the dumps” almost every day. I woke up feeling exhausted – body, mind and spirit. My body felt heavy. My mind felt like I was up all night doing math problems instead of sleeping. My spirit was crushed and hopeless. I really felt like the world was a dark place. During the day people would constantly say, “Melissa, smile. It’s not that bad.” This would just infuriate me. I didn’t feel like smiling!
I was too tired to smile! I was also too tired to talk so I avoided people as much as I could. I wouldn’t even call or talk to my friends who have been in my life for years. I just didn’t have the energy or desire.
I was married last year. Since then the marriage has been difficult. I have been very snappy and distant with my husband. I was just too tired to carry on a conversation. When he would try to talk with me I just snapped or took things he said way too personal and it ended with us fighting. I always blamed my ever-changing moods on hormones. I had two children back to back and figured my hormone levels just hadn’t balanced out yet.
My mom suggested I at least fill out the survey and talk with you. So I did.
When I first started taking the vitamins I expected a surge within and then a high of some sort. That wasn’t the case though. Instead I started gradually noticing things here and there. Weeks went by and I hadn’t said “I’m tired.” I didn’t wake up feeling heavy. I was practically jumping out of bed and excited to start my day. My brain felt rested and no longer in a fog. I also started feeling like life had so many possibilities and I could do anything I wanted! My husband and I had more conversations and actually laughed again! Then I noticed a glow to my skin. Even the dark circles under my eyes decreased! Then I started talking to people. I have actually been friendly with my co-workers and super market attendants! I talk to anyone now! I feel like I have confidence. I feel like my body has been
restored!!!
I’m not 100% yet but I’m certainly getting there…………..Overall though, I feel great!
Thank you for your help!!!!!!!

Part 2 of that story….because I have so much energy (not the kind coffee gives you) I have taken on a great deal of new responsibilities at work. I am now in charge of planning our Christmas party in 2012 (consisting of 995 people), I am getting my A+ certification and then taking additional computer training classes. I feel like the sky is the limit right now! I don’t feel overwhelmed or stressed. I’m excited! I am looking forward to
these challenges! Just wanted you to know

For many years I have fought the weight battle, more recently I began tofight the battle of depression, headache, PMS and body and joint pain. I would drive past Alternacare day after day wondering what it was all about. When I received one of their fliers in the mail and read about what they do I was beyond wondering and made the call for a visit. From the first visit where it was explained to me how everything works, I was amazed at the possibilities!
I made the commitment to get help and help they did! I have lost 23 pounds, my headaches and body aches are gone. PMS, well what PMS? I am seeing weight loss regularly and for the first time in a very long time, I can see my goals being reached! Alternacare is amazing and fun and you see RESULTS! If you are waiting, STOP AND DO IT! Making that first call has changed my life, it can change yours too.

Before coming to Alternacare I suffered from low back pain, poor sleeping, weight gain and depression. Since coming for the past 5 weeks, I have lost 7 pounds and feel great. I am 3 pounds from my goal weight. I have been having adjustments to my back since coming and I have now been able to do things I haven’t been able to do in 2 years. It is great having my life back. My depression is nonexistent. I feel great. Thank you Alternacare for giving me my life back.

I entered the door of Alternacare with some fear and intrepidation, as I had never been involved in holistic healthcare. My background knowledge centered on my research on the Alternacare website after reading the “body shapes” flyer that arrived in my home through a newspaper. I decided that I would try to read through the Healthcare Evaluation on the website to see if my symptoms were really valid. The more I read, the more I believed that I was all four body types and truly falling apart.Dr. Valerie Mathura

I started coming here to Alternacare after receiving a newspaper article and after talking to a friend who had success in coming here. I had been suffering from pain in hips and legs, depression and sleeplessness.
I feel like a new person! I was beginning to lose hope in ever being healthy again and felt like I was actually dying. I suffered from liver problems, hormonal imbalance, weight gain, fatigue, hot flashes, no sex drive, insomnia and severe depression. I WAS A TOTAL WRECK! Not only did I feel awful, it was a challenge just to get out of bed and face another day of feeling miserable. I knew something was wrong and wanted help. I had an overwhelming sense of knowing what I was experiencing on a daily basis was not the healthy quality of life I should have. I went to my doctor for help and after taking a series of lab tests that confirmed my symptoms and conditions, I became more depressed. I was not happy with the type of traditional treatment of numerous prescribed medications where the side effects were just damaging and would make me feel even worse.
A friend actually listened to me one day, told me about Alternacare and suggested I go to one of their workshops for more information. I had some background on the holistic approach to health and wellness, so based on that and through prayer and faith I headed out for the workshop. Every one of the symptoms I was experiencing was touched upon by Dr. Rob during the workshop. I knew right then that this was what I was looking for and what I needed. My consultation with Pam and Dr. Rob gave me hope again. I received excellent educational advice on how the body works and what my body was doing. After experiencing their customized treatment program for about five months, I had lab tests redone and to my surprise, EVERY ONE of my lab tests had improved over more than half. I was absolutely ecstatic! This has been a totally amazing and very rewarding experience. I cannot think of another approach to health and wellness than what I am experiencing with Alternacare. I look forward to my visits and living a healthy life. Thank you to all, Dr. Rob, Pam, and the entire staff. This has been an exceptional life altering experience. God Bless you all!

My experience has been a very positive one. When I first came, I really didn’t know what to expect. I have been educated on how the body works, which has helped me to understand my care that I am receiving. The workshops are great to help with that.I had so many problems. I was hormonal, tired all the time, could not sleep through the night, hot flashes, depressed, and aches and pains in my joints. With feeling and questions of WHAT DO I DO TO GET BETTER? I feel I have found the answer.
After seven days on my program, I have lost eight pounds, my energy is improving, I sleep though the night, my vision is better and my joint pain is better. I am so excited about getting well. Now I have hope. One day at a time.

I first came to Alternacare for weight problems, fatigue, and menopausal symptoms; hot flashes, not sleeping, and low energy. I had seen psychiatrists and tried anti-depressants, but all I would do was sleep all the time. I gave up many activities I enjoyed, one being exercise. I even had days that I would sneak away from work to take a nap. I had no energy to engage with my family. These problems became very depressing and debilitating!
Now, after coming to Alternacare I am no longer struggling with weight, no longer depressed, sleeping better, and have more energy! I feel better than ever!

I have been suffering with depression for almost 10 years, but has gotten progressively worse in the last 2 to 3 years.
Also, I have been experiencing stomach problems, such as bloating and constipation, along with sleeping troubles. I would sleep no more than 2 hours of sleep per night!
I generally just felt bad, and I always felt like I was dragging myself around. It made it hard to even go to work.. I had tried four different anti-depressants, sleep aids, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers, and nothing has helped.
However, within 3 to 4 weeks of going to Alternacare, I am now sleeping 6 to 7 hours/night, I use the bathroom 2 to 3 times, DAILY, no more bloated feeling, I’ve lost around 8 lbs and overall I feel much better!

I am so very grateful to have found the people at Alternacare, especially Dr. Poli and Nola! Having emerged from a five year battle with depression, low energy levels and weight gain, I feel like I am in excellent hands with extremely competent caregivers. Energy levels are tremendously improved, I’ve lost 29lbs in a month’s time and depression is almost a memory. As my background is heavily rooted in “traditional” medicine, I was/am most impressed with Dr. Poli’s ability to both treat and zero in on systemic problems before my “traditional” physicians were able to recognize a potential problem. In one month’s time, my internist has cut my blood pressure medication in half! Thanks to Dr. Poli, Nola, Stacey and Chuck for being such profound points of light.

For the past 6 years I’ve suffered with headaches, continual moodiness and tiredness.
As a mom, I never had enough energy to play with my kids after working all day. I would actually want my kids to stay in daycare just so I could go home and sleep.
I would have migraines at least once a month, but I would keep a constant, nagging headache every single day.
I suffered with complete exhaustion!
I thought, “I am going to die!” I had been to my regular doctor, as well as neurologists and several other doctors, who put me on all kinds of headache medicines and anti-depressants. I always felt so fatigued even the days I didn’t have a headache.
The first day I began treatment at Alternacare, I felt better immediately! Later that night I was doing exercises with my 2 year old on the bed and my husband asked if I was on Acid because I had so much energy!I Never had the energy to do anything before, but now I can play with my kids and feel good again!
Since I’m feeling so good, I decided to cut down on my medicines! I feel like myself again!
Thank you!
