When I first came to Alternacare I was over 200 lbs, didn’t sleep at night, had no energy throughout the day and could not lose weight (even though I ate healthy and exercised).
After a few weeks of following Dr. Rob’s instructions my energy increased and I was able to sleep at night. He thoroughly explained the results of each test which helped me to understand why my body and I have been battling against each other for so many years.
When we began to work on my weight the results were amazing. Everything seemed to come together; peaceful sleep, energy and weight loss.
It’s been 2 months since I achieved my weight goal of 165lbs and the results are still in effect. I am maintaining my weight, sleeping well and am full of energy.
Meeting Dr. Rob and the Alternacare staff was an answer to my prayer. I had been researching natural, healthy and holistic approaches to a positive lifestyle change for years. God sent me directly to someone who has the knowledge and anointing to help me. I praise God for Dr. Rob and the Alternacare Staff!

A stressful job, high blood pressure, arthritis in the knees, lack of energy, and the inability to lose weight no matter what I tried caused me to pack on the pounds. Four months ago, Dr. Rob began to work with me helping me to understand my body and why I continued to gain weight even though I tried counting calories, counting points, and taking prescription pills. Today I’ve lost more than 30 pounds! I can climb stairs without pulling myself up, and I no longer take blood pressure medicine! Then I went shopping with my mom. She was fussing that my pants looked like pajamas. I got 2 pairs ~ size 10! I’ve never worn 10′s!!! 
Thank you, Dr. Rob and the staff at AlternaCARE! ~ Karen
The Lord bless you and keep you
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

Dear Dr. Rob and Team:
I just wanted to let you know how much you have helped enhance the lives of my family. Kahlil was having quite a bit of trouble with his temper and other physical things that I had no idea existed until we came to Alternacare. Being a teenager, Kahil is 15, it was odd that he was having all of the symptoms of an aging man. Gray hair, achey and hurting joints and a short temper. Dr. Rob diagnosed Kahlil with exhausted adrenals (WOW!) He put him on a supplementation program and we began to see results in about a weeks time. He is doing so much better! The gray hair is starting to leave, when they fall out or are cut no new ones grow back and his disposition is a total 180. He is so much more cooperative and laid back. His joints rarely ache or hurt anymore and he is quite athletic. He is a happy, well adjusted teen. It really is quite amazing. I just want to thank Dr. Rob and his team at Alternacare for all the care, cooperation and empathy they showed us while Kahlil was under treatment.
Thank you Alternacare.

“Incredible Story”
Hi, my name is Kahlil Dotson I am 15 and I was one of Dr. Rob’s patients. I started working with Doctor Rob late last year, 2011, when I first meet doctor Rob I had bad ankle and knee joints that would pop all the time, I had mood swings, and I had grey hairs. With all this I thought I was just going to be stuck like that forever but to my surprise; a week after my first visit when I was prescribed supplements I noticed an improvement: me and my mom didn’t argue at all, my joints weren’t cracking as much and my grey hairs were fading back to black. I felt awesome. After a few more visits and getting a couple new medicines, I felt like I made a complete recovery I felt brand new instead of tired and sore all the time. I just want to thank Dr. Rob and his staff for making this possible they are truly a great group of people
Kahlil Dotson
I suffered from insomnia, fatigue, weight, skin rashes. I could go for 2-4 days without sleep. I would drink 1-2 32oz of soda each day to stay awake, worked out for 2-4 hours (3x) a week w/no weight loss. Skin rash would flare up especially during seasonal changes.
Now, I have a good night’s rest each day, since July 2011, I haven’t had any need for soda to stay awake. With the program, I’ve lost approximately 35 lbs. I’ve done it without stepping into a gym. I’ve also been able to maintain my weight which, I’ve never been able to do before. My skin Rash has cleared up and I feeling fantastic! I look forward to my continued weight loss. More importantly, feeling healthier than I’ve ever felt before!
M.B.
I came to Alternacare feeling poorly. I had no energy, couldn’t sleep and was over weight. Everything was wrong. After several weeks and several changes in diet along with taking the recommended supplements suggested by the wonderful staff at Alternacare, my live has improved. I’ve lost weight. I now sleep at night and have energy to do everything I need to do around the house and yard Thanks to Alternacare.
Thank you
Tommie McLeod
I came to Alternacare feeling like my body was slowly dying. I’m only 42 years old but easily felt like I was 82. I was tired, sluggish and felt like I weighed 300 pounds when in reality I weighed under 140pounds. After 2 months of care with Dr. Rob, I feel like a brand new person! My energy is back, I’m more limber and I actually want to do things again. I feel great and feel more confident about the way I look. The body I loved the previous 40 years of my life is back and so is my hope and outlook on life.
Paula Sroka
I came into Alternacare a few months ago with several problems. Insomnia, leg cramps, psorasis, no energy and weight problems. I have lost lost 10lbs in just a few weeks, my leg cramps are gone and my energy has greatly improved. I can’t believe how much my scalp psorasis has improvedand my insomina is improving. I think Ultra Clear is great and I am pleased with all my results. The scalp psorasis was a plus.
Melba Copley
About a month ago, I received a flier in the mail and read about the different body types. I immediately recognized my body type, so I decided to make a call for a visit. I attended a workshop and was amazed at the knowledge I received concerning my body type. I immediately made a commitment to give Alternacare a try for I needed help. Well after two weeks I was completely amazed at the immediate results. I lost 4.6 pounds, no more taking varoous medications. The third week I had no more swellling in the feet. My restless sleep are gone, gone, gone. I’m excited to see what my results will be within the next month.

After having my hysterectomy a year ago I began to have major hot flashes and night sweats. I also noticed a lack of energy, always feeling tired and most recently weight gain even though I exercise and go to the gym at least 3 days a week. Since I’ve been coming to Alternacare for the past three months my energy levels has greatly improved, my hot flashes and night sweats have greatly decreased and my weight is steadily going down. The staff at Alternacare is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Alternacare to all my family and friends.

SLEEP/LOW ENERGY/HOT FLASHES
I kept getting the flyer with the body types on them. I read some testimonies and decided to attend the next Healthy Self workshop. I was impressed and decided to join Alternacare to see what could be done for me. I was having problems with sleep, my energy level was low. I had extreme hot flashes, weight gain, and brain fog. After various tests to determine what I needed to do to improve by body internally (toxins) I was on my way. After 3 weeks following the program, my hot flashes were gone. I have more energy, rest well at night and wake up refreshed, my thought process has improved. My hair was really rough and I couldn’t do much with it, now it is softer and more manageable. I lost weight and I feel like a person in control again. I am glad that I decided to go to Alternacare.
Many thanks to the staff, Dr. DeBease and Dr. Truax who worked with me on a constant basis.

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
THREE MONTHS AFTER TESTIMONIAL WAS WRITTEN:
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

I came to Alternacare because I was having great difficulty going to sleep every night. I had a lot of sinus headaches, no energy and back pain.Jan Richardson
I am a 50 year old female and I am going through premenopause I began having severe hot flashes several times a day. I went to my gynecologist and she prescribed a topical hormone (a compound that I would rub into my skin everyday.) I gained 10 pounds within the next two months. I came to Dr. Poli and he put me on some natural supplements. I stopped taking the hormones. Within the first two weeks, I had lost six of the ten pounds and have not had any hot flashes at all! I am sleeping wonderfully and have lots of energy.Kim Sharkey
When I started coming to Alternacare I was unable to sleep, had chronic fatigue, total brain fog and very much overweight. Since coming to Alternacare I have lost weight, have more energy than I have had in years and my memory is back. I’m thankful for Alternacare and the nice helpful people at the office.Lynn Elzey
I came to Alternacare because of a skin itch on the back of my head and chest. I would wake up at night clawing my skin until it was bloody! Low energy, poor sleep, but thanks to Alternacare my skin has completely cleared up, my energy has improved and my sleep has improved. Thanks to changes in diet and adding supplements I feel so much better. Thanks Doc!
Gwen Dees
When I first came to Alternacare I wanted to be pain-free in my hips, legs, kidneys, and back. I was tired all the time, no energy. After 8 weeks, the pain is gone from my hips and legs. My kidneys are functioning better and I have no pain in them anymore either. Back pain is improving; it will take awhile to be gone, but is much better than it was. I’m 95% pain free and that was my goal. In addition, my energy level has improved and I’ve lost 16 lbs so far. I will continue to use the knowledge I’ve learned here and keep up the lifestyle I’ve begun as a result of this program. Thanks Alternacare!
Dawn Peavy
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.
Paul Peavy
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 arrived to Alternacare, I felt pain all the time. Thanks to my husband Jim who truly believes in alternative medicine, I now continue to feel great and my overall body feels great.
I can play in the dirt again, I now can play some golf because my SI joint is what was really bad. My hormones are completely restored. I sleep through the night comfortably and have much more energy.
I want to thank Dr. Poli and their great staff that carefully and thoroughly listened to everything that was wrong. They did their very best with me. I thank you again.
My name is Carol Jenkins, thanks for a better quality of life.
When I came to Alternacare I was really dragging. My Blood Pressure had gone ski high, I couldn’t sleep lost of nights; I was still struggling at 3:30am. My joints and back were screaming in pain and my weight was just “ballooning”. I was becoming very depressed so I thought, “what do I have to lose”? So I came to a workshop and listened to the instructions. So much of it sounded like they were talking about me. I came back and listened to their case plan for me if I wanted to get started. I did and the rest is history. Within 2 to 3 weeks I was practically dropping asleep in my chair and waking up at a normal time in the morning. It is wonderful to feel rested. The pain and inflammation is just gone from my body. I really can’t believe how loose my back and joins are. My mental activity has improved immensely and while my weight is not where I want it to be, it is going in the right direction and I’m really working at this. I can’t thank the doctor’s at Alternacare enough. They have literally given me back my life and I’m very thankful for it. Also the support staff is very positive and helpful every step of the way.Sue Tomme
I came in to Alternacare in November 2009 feeling fatigue, having body aches, night sweats, and having a hard time losing weight. Now I have more energy, no body aches and my night sweats have gone away. I also went from a size 14 to a size 12. I cannot say enough about how please I am with my results.
When I first came to Alternacare, I had muscle and joint problems. My blood pressure and cholesterol was also a problem. I could not walk for very long and steps were a problem. I have always been a person with high energy and a lot of flexibility, and now I felt as though I was in my 80’s instead of 61 years old. Now I feel as I did back in my 40”s. It is great to get out of bed with a great attitude. I no longer have to go running to my coffee pot to wake up in the morning. I can sleep at night and the pain in my legs and hips are gone. My sleep is restful, I say my prayers at night and I am out like light.
When I started coming to Alternacare I was very overweight. I felt terrible and had joint pain that was severe everyday. I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, could not sleep full nights, was easily fatigued, had sinus infections regularly and could hardly get around the golf course due to hip and joint pain.
When I came to Alternacare, I was having problems with weight, sleep, and energy levels. My blood pressure was sky-high, 190/104, and my weight was 333 lbs. I was given tests to determine which foods were detrimental to my health as well as a test to determine what toxins were in my body. After 2 weeks on the program, I was sleeping through the night. After 5.5 months, I’ve lost 73 lbs. My blood pressure has dropped to 111/72. My energy level is sky high, and I sleep very well every night. Before I started the program, I was waking up 4 to 6 times every night, and I was always tired, even falling asleep at work. I feel I’ve gotten my life and health back thanks to Alternacare. I was apprehensive when I started, but I’m a true believer now. Beyond all this, I understand how to eat correctly now, and eating the correct foods will allow your body to heal itself.
….. I was complaining of hot flashes, unable to lose weight, insomnia, no energy, forgetfulness, and sinus problems. Here it is September and I’ve come a long way. I’m 31 lbs from goal, my energy level is great, my forgetfulness is much better, my insomnia is gone, my sinuses are much better, and my hot flashes are rare and only at night when I have them. I feel so much better. I’ve learned what’s good for me and what to avoid in the food line so that I can keep myself where I need to be. My experience here has been good and helpful. The staff is very nice and helpful.Linda Rahn
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.
Cheryl Peterson
Since attending Alternacare Holistic Healthcare, I have seen a lot of improvements in my sleep patterns and bloating. I also had sinus issues, but after 6 weeks I am completely cleared up. I have lots of energy and looking forward to a healthy life.
Joyce Weeks
Before I started Alternacare, I had little energy for any kind of physical activity. I had recently had my gall bladder removed. I also had joint pain, sleep problems, and was always tired. I was also 50 pounds overweight. I am in the Army Reserve and I must meet weight and body fat standards as well as physical fitness standards (running and pushups), which were concerns of mine.
My first visit to Alternacare was purely a fact-finding visit to appease my curiosity after reading their brochure. For a while, I had been feeling very lethargic, I had no energy, had trouble sleeping though the night, and could not lose weight. My memory loss had me feeling much older than I should. After reviewing my test results I was amazed. I have a long way to go to correct the abuse I have placed on my body though the years. Since beginning their program I have so much more energy, my memory loss (fog) has improved. I am now sleeping though the night, I have very few hot flashes and at present, I have lost 15.5 pounds. I am so happy with my results thus far. I am excited about continuing my program with even greater results. I fell great!
Initially, when I came to Alternacare, I was suffering from isolated numbness in my left arm and leg. I went to an Internist and she could not find anything. She referred me to a neurologist. Although I passed many test, it was still inconclusive what was wrong with me. He then wanted me to do an MRI and nerve conduction testing. Since it was not guaranteed if they would find anything, I decided not to do those and decided to come to Alternacare. Little did I know, what I originally came in for, connected all of my problems- fatigue, dry scalp, moodiness, and weight that would not shed off.F. W.
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!

When I first came to Alternacare I was in doubt, but three weeks later I saw it working for me. I began to feel better about it. When I saw the pounds coming off then I begin to work harder on making mental adjustments.
I initially sought treatment for menopausal symptoms and weight loss. Over the past one and a half years I slowly put on 15lbs, which affected my overall daily living. In addition, I have lived with sinus allergies for over two and a half years.
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 was having a very difficult time loosing weight and I was feeling tired all the time. I have always watched what I ate and walked 2-3 miles at least 3 times a week. I couldn’t seem to lose one pound. Finally, I came into Alternacare for help. Dr. Truax got me on the right eating plan after using the Ultra Clear for three weeks. It’s been four months now and I’ve lost 12 lbs. and feel like my ol’ self again. I do thank Alternacare for the help.
Sherri McGowan
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!!!!
Mamie Upchurch
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 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!
Anita Winje
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!

For the past 3 years I’ve suffered with severe back pain. On certain times of the month I couldn’t get out of bed! I had unexplainable fatigue. I had horrible periods so heavy and irregular, my hormones were crazy! On top of all that, I was losing my hair and growing facial hair. I was having to shave my face all the time!
I had been to 7 different doctors to find out what was wrong; gynecologist, orthopedist, rheumatologist, dermatologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and my primary care doctor. No one could tell me what was wrong. I left with prescriptions for anti-depressants, which I refused to take, birth control, I’ve had my tubes tied 12 years ago, pain pills and anything over the counter.
My husband got tired of me complaining all the time and called Alternacare Holistic Wellness Center. I saw 2 doctors, one for my hormones and one for my pain.
Dr. Rob diagnosed me with high testosterone before I ever mentioned to him anything about my hormones! He found I have a metal toxicity, along with several other things going on! I knew right away I was at the right place! Dr. Mike handled my pain within 3 visits! I can get out of bed and function like a normal person again! I’m not losing my hair anymore or growing any more on my face! I can now enjoy life and my kids! You guys are amazing!
Karen Marlow
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!

I had been suffering with Fibromyalgia for the past 4 years. I spent most of my time in the bed! I was barely able to go to the grocery store, and if I did I was too exhausted to put anything away once I got home. My health was started to affect everything!
My relationship with my spouse suffered, I used to drive everywhere I wanted to, but it became dangerous because I was so tired! My grandchildren used to call me the “fun grandmother,” but once I stopped being able to get out of bed, I lost that name.
Because of the severity of this problem, I began suffering with depression. My life had been taken away from me!
Growing up with 3 brothers, I never was allowed to cry, but this got the best of me and I would cry all the time!
I had been to the Fibromyalgia clinic and they tried all kinds of supplements, B-12 shots and I.V. treatment. I went there for 6 months, and still no better. I was also seeing a Pain Management clinic and they had me on all kinds of anti-depressants as well as pain medications. I had seen every doctor there was! I saw orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and had 9 surgeries. According to the medical doctors “I was in pretty good shape!” I was at my last rope.
I was 3 weeks away from having a pain pump inserted into my body until my husband came across an Alternacare newspaper. I started seeing them immediately! Dr. DeBease found I was having glandular problems, along with gastrointestinal issues (yeast overgrowth and a bacterial infection).
After only 6 weeks of treatment, I can get out of bed! I am more productive (painting rooms in my house), I can laugh again, I can plan things and actually follow through with them, and I have joy back in my life! My relationship with my spouse is better, I am helping my kids more, I can be the “fun grandmother” again, and most of all I got my life back!
I am so thankful y’all were called to do this! I can see how you are helping people first hand!

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.

I am a 56-year-old female that felt like a 75 year old. I was tired, could not sleep, and was unable to lose weight. In fact, I gained weight even without eating. My body was out of shape. Then a friend told me about a seminar in Sharpsburg on Saturday. I didn’t feel like driving but I came just to see what it was about. At the seminar I learned that my tiredness, lack of sleep, and weight gain could be explained. My body was not getting the nutrients it needed to function properly. After searching for so long, having doctors tell me “ I just needed to walk to the mail box” or “you just have bad genes,” I now had the answer. It is not easy, I had to learn to eat the right foods and to take the nutrients my body needed, but after 4 months, I feel great! I am no longer tired, I can sleep at night, I feel good and best of all I am losing the weight that for so long I could not lose. Thank you Dr. Poli!Cheryl Everhart

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!

I had been unable to lose weight even though I was watching my diet carefully and exercising frequently. After coming to Alternacare, I have lost 22 lbs. My cholesterol has dropped from 204 to 163, and my triglycerides have dropped to 54. I was also having problems with sleeplessness, fatigue and mood swings. All of these have disappeared since coming to Alternacare and following the recommendations.

Before participating in the Alternacare program, I was always tired, listless, and had no energy at all. I initially attended the seminar because of the desire to lose weight that would not come off, no matter what I did. Little did I know that I was eating all the wrong foods and my body was unable to process and break down the food properly. After being on the program seven weeks, I have noticed weight loss of 16lbs. energy level has much improved, quality of sleep is rewarding. The nutritional supplements and vitamins have greatly increased quality of daily life

I came to Dr. Poli with fatigue, headaches, weight gain, sugar cravings and sleep problems. I couldn’t sleep through the night and woke up tired everyday and went to bed tired everyday. Generally, I experienced a headache everyday and had excessive cravings for sugar. On top of that, I had gained 25 pounds in less than a year. Basically I didn’t have the energy to do much but make it through my day. I spent many weekends sleeping excessively to catch up on the sleep I had lost, trying to build up my energy.
After my 3rd visit with Dr. Poli, I have lost 9 pounds and I’m beginning to sleep through the night more frequently. I haven’t had a headache in the last five days and I feel better than I have in years. My sugar cravings are gone too. The Ultra Clear and supplements Dr. Poli gave me seem to really be working.
My main goal when I came to Alternacare was to get healthy and feel better. My health is already greatly improved and I’m looking forward to getting even healthier.
The staffs at Alternacare have been awesome to me. They are knowledgeable, professional and very encouraging and supportive!

When I started at Alternacare, I was unable to write, even write my own name. I also had no energy and would need an extended nap every afternoon. I was also dealing with moderate to severe hair loss.
After having treatment for the past two months I am able to write legibly! Naps are a thing of the past, atleast the extended ones. My hair dresser has made numerous comments that my hair is getting thicker and healthier. I’m excited to see the results and improvements as I continue treatment.

When I first came to Dr. Debease, I felt all hope and energy level was impossible. I am a dialysis patient and it had taken a toll on me. I had no energy, but since I started Alternacare, my energy level has just improved greatly and I don’t have headaches anymore. So, I would encourage anyone, don’t just settle for and take your medical doctor’s word as the last option. I am not saying don’t see your medical doctor, but seek other options. It works and I am glad I did.

I first came to Dr. Rob and Alternacare because I was having trouble sleeping through the night, which resulted in extremely low energy throughout the day. Dr. Rob came highly recommended from a friend of my wife’s, so with my wife urging, I decided to become a patient. From the initial tests and various examinations, I started taking the specific nutritional supplements recommended by Dr. Rob with the goal of getting a good night sleep. My results were not immediate, as the body takes time to repair itself, but after months my sleep improved and my energy is better. Through it all Dr. Rob was determined to find the best solution that would work for me.
The entire staff was always helpful and courteous throughout this journey.
Thanks to everyone.

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!

There were periods in my life where I felt like I was going to die.Four years ago I developed a goiter on my thyroid, three nodules to be exact and hyperthyroidism. I could not tolerate sugar or flour products of any kind without feeling like I was going to jump out of my skin and heart palpitations that were very frightening, so I started going to various allopathic doctors to determine a treatment plan for my disease state. The term Nuclear medicine got tossed around in order to determine the course of action the doctors would take or worse having my thyroid taken out.
I decided that was not the avenue I wanted to pursue, but when I chose not to go that path I was chastised and humiliated within the medical field, as if I were stupid. I knew nutritional healing worked. I firmly believe in God’s word that herbs and food help to heal the body.
So when I saw the workshop Dr. DeBease was giving in a newspaper article, I leapt at the chance to attend. He said all the things I knew and had studied at great length that through proper nutrition our bodies can heal itself. I had tried for several months to treat myself, but Dr. DeBease held the missing key to my nutrition. The tests he ordered gave him the right tools to reverse my disease rather than slap a Band-Aid fix or throw pharmaceuticals at my problem.
I suffered with; hyperthyroidism, fatigue, numbness in the whole left side of my body, dizzy spells, major heart palpitations, my nail beds had pulled away from the skin and insomnia. To be quite honest there were periods in my life when I felt that I was going to die. My thought process was very skewed. I felt as if I were going to have a mental breakdown at times, knowing all along it was my thyroid creating the confusion, but lacking the tools and knowledge of its exact cause left me feeling desperate. When Dr. DeBease discussed what he believed were causing my problems this is something that no other doctor within a fifty mile radius from here to Atlanta had ever told me… When my test came back he was dead on with his assessment.
Since my treatment began my nodules have gone from three to one in a matter of months. I know in time they will go away completely. My numbness has gone away completely. My heart palpitations have diminished greatly and my fatigue has improved a lot as well. I finally feel like I have my life back. I am just so thankful to have found Dr. DeBease and his wonderful staff that truly care in treating the patient rather than the symptoms.

Hot flashes started after prostate surgery about a year ago, several times a night & during the day. In January 2008 I started treatment at Holistic Health, after about 3-4 weeks the hot flashes occurred only at night. After several months I no longer have hot flashes. I have also lost weight, trimmed down and have more energy.
Thomas Faletto
I’ve always been told I needed to lose weight in order to be healthy. Dr. Rob has helped me see that I need to be healthy in order to lose weight.
After years of unsuccessfully trying to lose weight I am finally on my way. In less than three months I have lost 20 pounds and gone down two sizes. But that isn’t even the best part.
I have suffered with knee pain for several years. Going up a flight of stairs and getting up out of a chair were so painful. Now that my body is no longer destroying itself, my knee pain is virtually gone. I can easily rise from a seated position and climbing stairs are no problem.
My overall energy level is remarkably better.
I still have a long way to go but Dr. Rob may have added years to my life. He has certainly added life to my years.

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!

My doctor was about to put me on medicine for high blood pressure and for my cholesterol. (for the rest of my life). It was my wife’s idea to come to Alternacare for the health and wellness program workshop. I just wanted to feel good again and have energy, the weight loss was a bonus. (Thank you to my wife Debbie) On the first day of the program my Blood pressure was 190/94 after 1 month of the program it was 110/70.
Before starting program my cholesterol count was 198 after 1 month of the program it was 137. Before starting program my triglycerides count was 229 after 1 month of the program it was 83 My heartburn is completely gone. Rosacea gone. Psoriasis gone. Belly Fat gone (lost 39lbs). Fatigue gone. I feel the best I’ve ever felt. Oh yea and I stopped snoring my wife now has to check and make sure I am still breathing. I am working out with a personal trainer 3 days a week and walking 4-5 miles 3 days a week, and can
play all day with my 3 year old grandson. I am happier, healthier and have the energy to the things I could not do a year ago.
Thank you Dr. Poli, Dr. Rob and the entire Alternacare staff
