I came to Alternacare with a multitude of medical issues. My cardiologist asked me to consider lap band procedure to lose weight. My Endocrinologist wanted to put me on an insulin pump. I was taking 8 shots a day (3 types of insulin). I was having hot flashes all the time. I received a brochure in the mail inviting me to take a workshop at Alternacare.
After a short period of time I have lost 28 pounds, no longer have hot flashes and take NO Insulin shots.
Alternacare has changed my life-It is truly a God Send!

I would like to say when I first came to Alternacare my sugar was in the 300’s. It’s now completely normal. My blood pressure is now in normal ranges. I have lost weight and I have so much more energy. Next month I’m having blood work done to check my cholesterol and triglycerides levels which have been very high. To have a successful outcome with Alternacare one needs only to follow the prescribed plan of action. Take those supplements religiously and follow the diet plan! It’s as simple as that.

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes concerns and I was overweight due to menopause, depression and sleeplessness. I was introduced to Alternacare by a co-worker and after about three weeks working with Dr. Truax and Nola, I began to feel energetic, my sleep wasn’t interrupted during the nights as much and I started to lose weight. After about a month, I visited my endocrinologist and I no longer had a diabetes concern. My blood sugar glucose has become stable and I don’t have to worry any longer whether I’m going to become a diabetic. Even though I wasn’t being treated for thyroid problems, my medication was reduced from .125 mg to .112. My diet and learning the proper way to eat helped me to not be overly tired during the day and night. I am very pleased with the results that I’ve achieved at Alternacare thus far. My goal is to lose 25 to 30lbs total and I’ve lost 19lbs thus far.

I came to Alternacare four weeks ago because I couldn’t lose weight, didn’t sleep well and unable to keep my diabetes under control with medications and exercise. In four short weeks I have lost 15lbs, I now sleep between 6.5 and 7.5 hours a night and my blood sugars average under 90 ( previously 150) without medications.
I would strongly recommend Alternacare to anyone serious about improving their health.

I first came to Alternacare 4 weeks ago, overweight, tired all the time, frequent stomach upsets, very restless sleep, and type 2 Diabetes. In the 4 weeks I have lost 11.8 lbs and feel so much better. I was on 3 different medications for the diabetes and my medical doctor has taken me off 2 completely and cut the third one in half. I’m sleeping good, 7 ½ to 8 hours a night and not so tired at the end of the day-more refreshed and more energy. My digestion has improved 100%. I still have a long way to go with my weight, but I didn’t’ put on overnight and it won’t come off overnight. This “New lifestyle” is so easy to live with and now I should live a long time.
It’s so great to be feeling good again. With the success of my daughters urinary issues being all figured out at Alternacare, I knew when my own health took a strange turn where I needed to come. My doctor had told me I had hypoglycemia. I just thought that the shakes, irritability and memory issues were all a part of that. I decided that I needed to get to the bottom of my symptoms before they turned into something serious. I have been coming to Alternacare for about 5 to 6 weeks and I am back to normal. I am sleeping well, no more shakes, and my family is enjoying not having an irritable mom and wife to deal with everyday. The amazing thing is that I don’t have anymore low blood sugar issues. This is the second time that Dr. Poli and Dr. Rob have turned my family’s health around. I am very grateful and a loyal believer in what they do.
My medical history is high blood pressure, diabetic Type 2, Thyroid problems, IBS, Acid Reflux, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and overweight. My medications consisted of 18 different pills a day, taking some once, twice and some were up to 3 x’s a day. I have now cut my medications down to 5 pills a day! My blood pressure and diabetes is under control. The pain in my body has decreased and I am no longer in horrible pain. My weight has dropped 32.6 lbs in 8 weeks! The weight has come off all over my body and not just in one area. I am very proud and thankful I went to the Saturday workshop and started this program for myself. My goal is another 28 lbs to lose, and I intend to keep the weight off.
I came to Alternacare to get off all my meds for diabetes and blood pressure. After 8 weeks I’m down from blood sugar levels of 300’s to average 110 a day. My blood sugar and blood pressure are both under control; I’m weaning myself off of all meds a little at a time. Eventually, I’ll be off all of it-shots included! In addition, I have lost 12 lbs + 2 pant sizes and have more energy. I am able to exercise on the treadmill and weights like I used to do. I recommend Alternacare to anyone with any medical or weight problems or even just for a better feeling of well-being.

The last three times I went to my primary care doctor, he told me it didn’t matter what I did nothing would helped me. That’s when my daughter found the Holistic Wellness Center in Newnan. She made an appointment for herself, my daughter-in-law and me. I was so proud they went with me, because we all needed help. I’m a diabetic, with high blood pressure, stomach, leg & foot cramps, joint pain, thyroid problems, high cholesterol and felt tired and weak all the time. I was on eight prescriptions and four over the counter medicine. My numbers were:
Diabetes(Blood Sugar) – 303
High Blood Pressure – 148/70
High Cholesterol – 215
Triglycerides – 500
I weighed 220 lbs. and I’m 5’5” tall. My primary care doctor was going to put me on insulin the next visit. I asked him to let me see if I could get the numbers down on my own. That’s when he told me it didn’t matter what I did nothing would helped. WELL YOU BE THE JUDGE!
Diabetes(Blood Sugar) – 95
High Blood Pressure – 129/70
High Cholestrol – 157
Triglycerides – 187
Weight – 201
The muscle cramps and joint pain are gone. I have more energy, and feel so much better. Thank you Dr. DeBease, Dr. Poli and staff for caring enough to show me I can do it, and prove my doctor wrong.
I CAN DO SOMETHING!!!!

I started feeling like I was under too much stress. On top of that, I have been a diabetic for about 30 years.
I have been taking medication Glucophage since the 70’s. I wasn’t feeling well at all.
My stomach would swell, I was gaining weight, my mind felt foggy, and I was tired all the time.
I had no idea what was going on with my body! I could hardly walk up and down my steps, do any housework or do anything without having to push myself.
I didn’t want to give up, so I turned myself over to God. I had seen all kinds of doctors, but no one could help me. I gave up on medical doctors.
Finally, my sister-in-law discovered Alternacare. I truly felt the Lord had sent me to y’all.
They found what was causing my problems. After only 4 weeks of treatment, I started seeing results! So far I have lost a total of 24 lbs and I am NO LONGER A DIABETIC! I recently went to my medical doctor and I am off of the Glucophage!
I feel now the strength is growing back inside me. I feel 100% better than I’ve felt in years!
I am so thankful Dr. Rob is so patient and listened to what I had to say. Thank you!

I started to coming to Alternacare after attending one of Dr.DeBease’s workshops.
I had suffered with Severe Joint Pain, Diabetes, No Energy and Weight gain for 12 years. I was always tired, out of sorts, and my health issues were consuming a great portion of my time. My quality of life was spiraling downhill.
I had seen doctors for this and all they could tell me was that I was getting older and you can’t do the things you did when you were younger. I was put on Glucophage, Actos, and Glipizide (Diabetes), Levothyroxin (Thyroid), Dyclofenac (antiinflammatory), and Altace (Blood Pressure).
After just 5 days on a specific liver diet, I lost 10 pounds! Since then I have lost a total of 28 lbs.
I have stopped taking Actos, Glipizide Dyclofenac and Altace.
I feel better and I am able to be more active and I actually hurt less now than when I was taking all of the medications.
I have refereed football since 1983 and have always taken some type of pain medication to get through the day, especially on Saturdays when we do 5-6 games/day.
Now, I have started a citrus drink that Dr.Rob gave me and haven’t had to take anything for pain since! I have done so well other referees are asking about it.
My Saturday nights used to mean no sleep because I was constantly waking up with cramps. Now I am able to get things done around my house, which I could never got do before, especially during football season.
Needless to say I have more energy than before, but the aches and pains are the problems I miss the least!

I first came to Alternacare for several problems. I had horrible stomach pains that would prevent me from eating, otherwise I’d either throw up, have constant burning, or diarrhea! I suffered with severe menstrual problems, which were periods lasting 3 weeks long and than having another 2 weeks of PMS! I also had constant back and knee pains. I was miserable. I started to become very depressed. I had problems with sleep and was gaining weight even though I was barely able to eat anything! I fought with my spouse all the time and never had energy to do anything! I couldn’t even play with my kids! I felt myself withdrawing from people. I didn’t want to do anything except lay in bed! “I felt my whole world caving in!”
Since I started treatment with Alternacare, I no longer have any pain whatsoever, they figured out through testing which foods I couldn’t have, discovered I had an infection that was causing me to stay sick all the time, I am losing about 2 pounds/week, and I can sleep through the night, therefore giving me tons of energy to do the things I want to!
Everyone has noticed the weight loss, my relationship with my spouse is much better, and I have improved my life completely! I haven’t felt this good in years! This was a lifestyle change for me! I have lost a total of 19 lbs and still losing! All of the problems I came in with, are now gone! I am a new me!
