When I first came to Alternacare I was incredibly desperate for help! For 10 years, I’ve been diagnosed with IBS with constipation ( since I was 15). I have been to several doctors, including a few different gastro doctors, and the only thing they do is prescribe pills to help the situation. Well I didn’t want HELP, I wanted answers, and a cure if possible. Needless to say, those pills wouldn’t work very long, so I gave up and tried to watch what I ate (which is hard because I LOVE FOOD!) I was going through the mail and saw an ad for Alternacare , read the “do you feel’ and my husband said “that sounds like you, baby!” So I came in and poured my heart out to Chuck about the terrible pains I had, the bloating, and the fatigue, and then got started with Dr. Truax. Now…..my IBS pains are COMPLTETELY GONE, my bloating only comes once a month, I have more energy and focus, and I’ve lost about 10 lbs! I know this story seems too good to be true, but I’m a terrible liar, so when I say this is the BEST thing I’ve ever done for myself, it’s TRUE! Thank you to EVERYONE at ALTERNACARE!!!

Our son has always suffered from seasonal allergies. Two years ago, he began
complaining of daily stomachaches. His pediatrician diagnosed him with IBS and
told us to take a Prevacid every day. Months went by, then a year, and the pain
continued accompanied by constant diarrhea. His pediatrician said to keep
taking the Prevacid. I insisted that we do something, so she referred us to a Gastroenterologist at Scottish Rite. They told us that IF there was anything wrong with him, a Prevacid a day FOREVER would take care of it. By now, two years had gone by and I did not know where to turn. He would cry every morning after eating breakfast from the pain. They kept giving him drugs for the symptom but never tried to find the cause. We had almost given up hope when we met Dr. Rob.
After being under Dr. Rob’s care and taking his supplements, he has no pain. His digestion is normal and as an added bonus, he has not suffered from seasonal allergies since his treatment began. Finding Alternacare improved the lives of all my family. He feels great and we are so relieved. It changed our whole outlook on the medical profession.
Dr. Rob and the entire staff are wonderful!

I’ve been having colitis and diverticulitis attacks for 6 months now and waking up ever couple of house during the night with back pain for years. For 3 weeks now I’ve been coming for appointments and I no longer have any of that pain.

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.
I started this year with emergency surgery. In prep for this my scans showed enlarged lymph nodes in the chest and lungs. After months of tests, scans and seeing four doctors, I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. When I came to Alternacare, I had zero energy and thought I would feel better if I could just get my hormones balanced. I told Dr. Rob repeatedly that I just wanted to feel better. I FELT AWFUL !!!!!!Indiana

Hello Dr. Rob
Pam Norris
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

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 them tired, bloated, overweight and no energy. Now, I feel good, weight is down, and I’m not tired all the time. I have good energy. My granddaughter got her Nana back! I can keep up with her now. I was on blood pressure medication and now my blood pressure is where it’s supposed to be-NO MORE MEDICATION. I FEEL GREAT!

When I first walked into Alternacare, I was a total mess. My joints ached, I was always tired because I always woke up six to eight times a night, I did not go to the bathroom regularly, I was having trouble breathing even when I was not doing anything, and I was 25 pounds overweight. After only one month, I feel better than I have in years! I am on the road to losing the weight, with already being down five pounds. I have to really remember just how bad I felt when I walked in the doors of Alternacare just a month ago. I have even seen significant improvements in areas that were not on my “issue list” like my constant headaches and sinus drainage. I am very thankful that I took the steps to get my life back.Vicki Green
I came to Alternacare feeling low on energy and with sleep and digestion issues. After 8 weeks of testing and diagnostic treatments and supplements I can see dramatic improvement in my sleep! Also, after modifying the foods I eat and with the supplements, I lost 9 pounds and feel so much better. Thank you Nola and Dr. Truax.

Prior to my visit at Alternacare, I always felt conscious of what I wore. I always had a bloated stomach, my feet were swollen and needless to say I couldn’t get a full night of sleep. But I can say that I’m sleeping now, my feet aren’t swollen any more, and yes my stomach isn’t bloated. I have been trying on clothes and I’m amazed at the changes in such a short time frame. I can truly say…. Oh Happy Day since I’ve met the staff at Alternacare. Gail Sims

I have never been really slim but during my 2nd pregnancy I gained 30 lbs. My baby weighted 10lbs, the other 20 lbs stayed with me. Over the years the I gained a little, lost a little, gained again. Then I was in a bad accident and had accident and had several surgeries, had to take about 10 different antibiotics over the course of a year and would end up with a completely out of balance intestinal system. An over whelming tired ness at all times and stomach pains, fogginess so bad that driving in a car became scary.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 10 years ago. The doctor at the time put me on two different medications, which made me feel fatigued. I stopped the medicine because I didn’t like the way I felt. I have been self medicating with all different kinds of pain medication. (Motrin/ Aleve/ Tylenol) at least 5 days a week. I also have had stomach issues all my life. After being tested by Dr. Poli, I found out I was allergic to all kinds of different food, which most likely caused my stomach and Fibromyalgia problems. Since starting the program I have had no stomach problems at all! My body aches and pains have greatly improved. I no longer have to buy any Motrin, Aleve, and Tylenol because I no longer need them! And I have lost 17 lbs! Kim Hamilton
Even as a young child I rarely had daily bowel movements. My grandfather, a doctor, explained that if that were normal for me, then so be it.
I have led a very active life, but for the past 3-4 years I have been slowed drastically by muscle stiffness and soreness. I also had reoccurring sinus headaches and intestinal pain.Kathy Berner
My digestion system just did not work well. I could only eat a very small amount of food without experiencing bloting. For example a sandwich would be my breakfast and lunch. Also, constipation went along with it. After coming to Alternacare, my digestion system is working 80% better. I can now eat a whole meal and be comfortable. I can’t explain how much better I feel I can eat foods that did not agree with me before. I still eat small portions but I feel good when I finish instead of feeling stuffed.

When I came into Alternacare, my Internist had me on 6 different prescription drugs. I have had high blood pressure for 15 years as well as reflux. I was retaining fluid and had high cholesterol as well as seasonal allergies and asthma. My Dr. was going to put me on more meds for a kidney problem also. The kidney problem was caused by all the other meds I was taking.
After getting sick from a statin drug, my boss had a talk with me and asked what the problem was . I told him about the meds and he told me that statin drugs are so bad for you. He gave me info that changed my life. I stopped taking the statin drug and started feeling better.
I went to one of Dr. Rob’s workshops and what he was telling us, hit a nerve. I had a lot of these symptoms. Tired, no energy, weight gain, and just not feeling right.
I was tested and Dr Rob took over. It is some months later and I am proud to say that I am off all my prescription drugs and have not felt better in my life. I keep taking my blood pressure cause I don’t believe it. It is always normal (125/73)…That is so low for me. I’m almost 66 years of age and can bend better, walk longer and I have so much more energy. Plus I sleep so good now.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Rob and Dr Poli and Pam and Nola the beautiful ladies at the front desk. I truly believe that God knew how bad I wanted and needed my body healed and sent me to Alternacare. God Bless them all.
PS I have lost 10 pounds so far. We are working on eating right to deal with what is left.

I started coming to Dr. DeBease because I had a multitude of things going on in my body; Erythromelalgia (Burning Feet), Allergies and Sinuses, Stomach (Bloating and Gas), Night Sweats and Hot Flashes.
Erythromelalgia – is a rare disorder characterized by; burning, pain, redness and hot extremities (No Known Cure). Allergies- Having suffered and taking allergies shots for eight years and was NO better. Stomach – Could not eat without having gas that was so painful. Night Sweats – Could not sleep, was up two or three time a night.
But after laboratory test including, Saliva studies for hormones, Hair studies for Toxic Metal and other lab work. Dr. Rob had a good idea of what my problems were. He customized a program for me. That included Specific Diet, Herbs, Minerals and Vitamins.
As of today my stomach, allergies, Sinuses, Night Sweats and Hot Flashes are 99% better. My erythromelalgia (burning feet) is doing better. I am 61 years old and I DO NOT TAKE ANY CHEMICAL MEDICATIONS. If you will let Dr. Rob help you help yourself you will not regret it at all.

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!
Linda Mullins
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!
Niki Monk
I have been coming to Alternacare since August. I was a wreck! I am 43 years old and I felt 100. I had very bad intestinal problems, exhausted all the time, and a “Weight Watchers” drop out for the 5th time. I came here out of desperation. I was told my Adrenal glands were shot and that was the cause of my problems. My own “regular” doctor told me I was just in need of more exercise. After the following plan was given to me I have lost 40 lbs in 4.5 months! I feel better than ever! I don’t have intestinal discomfort anymore and I’m actually sleeping through the night! I have 40 more lbs to go and I can’t wait!

My days are sweet now because of being on the Holistic Program here at Alternacare!!! My nights were horrible with getting little if any quality sleep. Usually my sleep patterns were 8 hours each night and to get as little as 2 or 3 hours were making my next day at work HORRIBLE!!! Mean time the IBS constipation was getting worse and my stomach was hurting and staying fluffy because of NOT being able to use the bathroom. Now after the Intestinal Cleanse and Ultra Clear I can feel regular again, and my tummy feels BRAND NEW. This is nothing short of a MIRACLE for me and my LIFE. My whole outlook is SUNNY with so much more ENERGY. I can’t thank Dr. Rob and Dr. Poli enough! Thanks for the MIRACLE.

Over the past five years I woke up each morning with a burning feeling in my stomach that began the night before. My indigestion was so bad that I was taking medication for it in the morning and in the evening, as well as eating at least four Tums before bed. I structured my eating habits around how bad my stomach was going to feel. I have had stomach issues for years that were diagnosed as IBS. So, I already limited myself on certain foods. When the indigestion flared up, I only ate bland foods and avoided restaurants. My discomfort from my indigestion has increased over the years and became unbearable. The indigestion and upset stomach, coupled with a sudden weight gain and fatigue led me here. I received no answers from my MD and for years I figured I had nothing to lose.
I am so glad that I decided to come here. I began with a diet change that has made me much healthier and a few supplements. Within a few weeks I began feeling better. My energy has increased and my stomach is much improved. I no longer take Tums and occasionally will take a Prilosec, which hopefully will be ending soon! I am so relieved to not have to worry about how everything I eat will hurt me. This has been a great experience so far and I would recommend it to anyone!
When I first came to Alternacare I was really tired, I hurt all over, I was weepy and fatalistic and simply depressed. I was sleeping every afternoon for two or three hours. I couldn’t grasp a glass and set it back down, I couldn’t even go upstairs in our home. Even doing the laundry wore me out. I would have to sleep for two hours after I did the laundry. My shoulders hurt so bad I couldn’t move my head from side to side or reach for something high. My elbows felt as if they had tendonitis. I had indigestion/reflux all the time and slept sitting up against pillows. My face-sinuses hurt all the time and I was hooked on sinus nose spray.
Now I am ME Again! The only time my hip hurts is at the end of a very long day, but it is not nearly as intense as it was. My energy is improving and I have also lost forty-three pounds and can wear all my old clothes again!

In less than 2 months treatment, I have seen increases energy, vast improvement in my digestive issues. Also, I previously had a big problem with yeast plaque patches in my scalp for which dermatologists said was chronic and not curable. It is now completely cleaned up…. I feel better at this point than I have in the past 3 years.
