Hi, I am thrilled to report that after only two months I feel great. This story begins with me arriving at the center, exhausted and with joint pain so sore that I was constantly rubbing my elbows and knees. At age 45 I felt like moving around was just too difficult. I was not sure how I’d keep working if the pain got any worse.
After meeting with Chuck and then my doctor, I felt like my wellbeing was truly their own interest. I used the supplements and with two weeks I felt the positive results. The approach at Alternacare is to get you well and on your way. I am continuing with the supplements and at this point feel like I could run again, or even play tennis.
For those of you who have joint pain which is keeping you from enjoying life, consider my success as a reason to give Alternacare a try. I feel wonderful.

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
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

Dear Dr. Rob,
It has now been a year since I first visited your offices and began the holistic total well-ness program. At age 82 I feel better and enjoy better health that I did when I was 75. Even though I did not need to lose a lot of weight, the weight that I did lose had a lot to do with the way I feel. Not only did I lose the weight I was carrying but I lost two inches in my waist. My arthritis pain is under control and I get around with ease. In fact, I am enjoying playing golf once more (and with passion I might add). I got through the allergy season with flying colors and without the stuffy-runny nose and itchy eyes that I had before ‘Alternacare’. I have not had a headache or a cold in over a year. In other words, I feel great and I owe much of this to you and your staff.
Any business, in order to thrive and be successful, must be professional. You have put together a team that certainly meets that description. Chuck, Stacey, Nola and Pam are always a pleasure to see and are always helpful.
As you can see, I am well pleased with the results that I have achieved thus far and I eagerly approach my maintenance program in the weeks and months to come.
Sincerely Yours,
Quinton King

My wife gave me a gift box and asked me to come to Holistic Healthcare with her. I will admit, I was skeptical at the beginning, but what has taken my skepticism away is no more fatigue, soreness in joints, and so far 25 lbs of weight has been removed. Blood pressure is down, sugar is down, and my doctor has taken me off most of my meds. I want to thank Alternacare for my results! Push your skepticism aside, and give them a chance to improve your health. What better gift is there, (other than Jesus Christ) than good health.
Thank you,
Duane King
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.

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
When I first came to Alternacare I was on medications for allergies and hot flashes, which were out of control. I was over weight, had knee pain, back pain and memory problems. After all my treatment recommendations by Dr. Poli and his staff, I no longer take any medication I was so dependent on. I lost 22 pounds, my memory has improved 100% and I truly feel like a new person. Alternacare treats the source of the problem through natural means, opposed to taking medications, which just treats the symptoms. Thank you Alternacare for helping me to do what I could have never done on my own.Eloise Porterfield
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
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.
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
My name is Sonia Frank. I’m 51 year old and, what anyone would consider living a pretty healthy life style, but still struggling with my weight. Hypothyroid was also part of my life, along with Fibromyalgia. Two years ago I made the best decision of my life, “I quit smoking “cold turkey.” I started feeling better the minute I stopped, even though I wasn’t a heavy smoker. Then came a little bit of the problem, my clothes were getting tighter, months went by, and then menopause became a friend along with my weight problems. Even though my size wasn’t that bad (8-10), my problem was buying pants. I was getting worse and worse, everything was going to my tummy and started looking like my front was my back, I became very depressed and frustrated specially considering that I worked out almost 2 hours a day and was eating a very healthy diet, even had my own trainer at the gym! I also tried many things that they claimed would help you lose weight. I would lose maybe a pound or two, but the sizes stayed the same.God bless them all
I came overweight and my Cholesterol was high, having to take medication. Now, I’ve lost 35 lbs and my Cholesterol levels are good.. Also, I had knee pain, and now my knee doesn’t hurt anymore. Overall I feel great now and I can walk without giving out of breath or having my knee hurting. Also, I’ve lost 3.5 inches of my neck and 2 CHINS!

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.
At first a skeptic, I have seen that holistic healthcare has been an improvement in my own life in many ways. Being diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, chronic sinusitis and overweight., I have seen dramatic changes for the better in each of these areas. I am now doing more physical labor around the house, yard and at work with little to no pain to my joints, and being a singer I am now enjoying singing extended periods of time without the conflict of infected sinuses and drainage. My skeptic outlook has been met with reality and it is good to feel this good.Lee Chitwood
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
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 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
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.
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.
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.

For the last 2 years I’ve had problems with my lower back, right hip and sleeping at night. After attending one of the clinic’s workshops I knew that the conventional way of doing things were no longer an option. After my first visit with Dr. Poli, my lower back and right hip felt about the same. It was after the second visit I started to notice slight improvement. Before I had a hard time sleeping, my lower back and right hip would caused me to toss and turn throughout the night and I would only get between 4 to 6 hours of sleep. Now I am able to sleep 7 to 9 hours, my lower back and right hip doesn’t bother me and my physical activity has greatly improved. I feel I’m back on track to take control of my life and not allow those aches and pains to dictate how I function. I suggest to each and everyone to give Alternacare a try. You will not regret the decision.Ira White
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
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
I came to Alternacare for Restless Leg Syndrome and to get off my Requip due to the side effects and expenses. In the past few months I am completely free of all medications! My blood pressure has lowered and I actually have found I can go to sleep without tossing and turning. The exciting thing is I’ve managed to lose 12 pounds. My eating habits have completely changed! The cravings for “stress food” have lessened. We all want instant gratification. Give it a chance and the staff and Doctors will guide you the rest of the way. I never had to walk out and not have a question answered. Dr. Poli and Pam have been very patient. You all are the best! I am so grateful.
Thanks,
Janet Notestine
When I found Alternacare, I had been battling extremely high blood pressure (225/125) for approximately six months. I recently had an allergic reaction to several blood pressure medications, which put me in the hospital. I was fearful that I might have a stroke, both of my parents died of strokes. I also suffer from fibromyalgia and because of the allergic reactions to the blood pressure medications, I had severe FM flare ups.
Over the eight years, since being diagnosed with FM, I have gained 30 LBS. I have been unable to exercise, unable to lose weight, have had restless sleep, suffer severe pain nearly 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Most of all, I was unsuccessful in lowering my blood pressure.
I have been coming to Alternacare for 6 weeks. My BP is down to 143/88! I have begun exercising every other day, walking 1.5 miles at 3 mph on a treadmill. I am swimming and doing stretching exercises in the pool at my gym. I am sleeping restfully nearly every night. I have stayed on the Liver Enhancement Diet successfully and have lots more energy and very little pain!
I am very grateful for this nutritional-holistic healing.
Dr. Poli, Nola, and Dr. Rob, Pam, and the girls- Thank you for everything!

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!
Sylvia Opsatnik
Before starting my care at “Alternacare Health and Rehab”, I was unable to stand for any length of time. I had heel spurs on both of my feet. I had suffered with my foot troubles for 8 years. I was told by doctors that the only way to correct the foot problems, I had was to have surgery on my feet. When I said no to the surgery, I was given an anti-inflammatory to take. I also, had suffered with sinus problems for years. I was unable to sleep at night due to the headaches and my body being so sore.
After only 3 weeks of care at “Alternacare Health and Rehab” I could tell a wonderful difference. I have only had 2 headaches since I started care vs. before my head hurt 24 hours a day. I have had no sinus problems since I started my treatment, and I can stand for any length of time without any problems. My heel spurs are extremely better, if not gone. I have had no problems with my feet. I am able to sleep better at night, which makes me feel better by itself. I have tons more energy since I have been under care. I think “Alternacare Health and Rehab” is wonderful! I had never believed in chiropractic care, but now I am a complete believer.
I think that the care you receive at “Alternacare Health and Rehab” is amazing. I would have never thought that the combination of a medical doctor, chiropractor, athletic trainer / physical therapy, massage therapy, and everything else offered would help like it has.
Susan Gaddy
I started coming into “Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" because of my high cholesterol, as I had suffered with it for many years. I also had pain from my head to my toes. I had a lot of stress in my life, and that caused my whole body to ache. I would have constant burning pains in my neck and shoulders. I had suffered with those pains for 6 months before I started my care. My hip had given me problems for 7 years. I had been told that my hip pain was from scar tissue and the only way to make it better was to have surgery to take it out. I had problems with my knees as well. I could not put any pressure on them or bend them without incredible pain. I had problems with my eyes too. They were always dry and itchy. I had tried every kind of eye drops and nothing worked at all. I went to other doctors before I started coming into this clinic. All that they would give me was medicine and I am not a medicine taker. I would take it at night just so that I could sleep, but I would suffer through the day with the pain.
I had been under care at “Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" for only 2 weeks before I started to feel much better. I felt like I had a new body that was pain free. All my pains were a lot better if not gone. My eyes were completely back to normal. I was able to stand and bend without my knees hurting. I have had my cholesterol checked many times since I started care, and it has been back down to normal range from the extremely high range it was in before I started care.
I think that the care at Alternacare is great. I think that the combination of chiropractic care, massage therapy, and stretching therapy is very beneficial. I think that holistic care is absolutely amazing. I would much rather use a holistic health care method to fix a problem than to just take pain pills to ease the pain.
JoAnn Alexander
I started coming into "Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" because I had horrible back and pelvic pain. My back would have constant burning pains and a constant ache in it. I had suffered with these back pains for almost a year and a half and the pelvic pain for almost 3 years before I started my care. My pelvis was tilted and twisted.
I went to an orthopedic doctor for the pelvic pain. He sent me through months of therapy, but it only eased the pain for a short period of time. I was given pain pills to take, but would not take them because I wanted to heal naturally or with herbs.
I was unable to stand for any long length of time because the pain. I would have to stop to go and lay down while doing the simplest activities, such as cooking dinner, because of the pain I had when I stood. If I was sitting or lying and wanted to move my leg, I would have to pick my leg up with my hands, and move it where I wanted it. It would take me a while at night to fall asleep because I could not get comfortable. Once I was asleep I would wake up throughout the night with pain.
Only after 2 weeks of care at “Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab", I felt better than I had in years. Then only after 4 weeks of care, the constant ache and burning pains I had been suffering from were gone and have not returned. I am feeling much better. I thought that my aches and pains were things that I was going to have to live with and I am so glad that I don’t. I think that the care at "Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" is great and I am incredibly happy with the changes it has made in my life.
Betty Doyal
I started coming into “Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" because I had both low back pain and neck pain.
I had suffered with these pains for years. My neck had been bothering me for 4 years. It was very painful and stiff. It would cause pain to move down into my shoulders, arms, and hands. I also would have numbness and tingling down through my arms and hands. The pain would hurt constantly. My back had been bothering me for 19 years before I started coming into "Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab". I had spondylolisthesis which caused pain to my low back, down into my legs, and my feet. I was unable to sleep at night. I would wake up anywhere from 4 to 12 times a night.
I had an epidural in my back for the pain, but it only supplied temporary relief. I was given several different kinds of muscle relaxers, and none of them helped. I was having to take 800 mg. of ibuprofen every 6 hours, and that would only take the edge off the pain. It would never make the pain go completely away.
Within my first week of care at “Altemacare Physical Medicine and Rehab", the numbness and tingling in my hands were gone. My neck and back pain was almost immediately better. I was in less pain after my first week of care than I had been in for years. I was able to sleep the whole night through. I was able to sleep on my back, which I had not been able to do for years. I am able to now do activities that I had been missing out on for years because of the pain. I love how everything you need to get well is right here at the clinic.
I think it is great that there is chiropractic care, massage therapy, and physical therapy here. I love how everyone works together to get the job done and fix the problems.
Jeanette Jackson
I had been suffering from low back pain for 5 years, before I started my care at “Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab”.
In my line of work, I do a lot of physical activity, and over the years the work took it’s toll on me. My low back pain would be so bad at times that I had sharp, shooting pains going from my lower back, down my legs, and into my feet. The other times I just had backaches that would cause so much pain that I would be unable to work, sleep, or do any other activity. I had to completely stop working for 2 months because of the pain.
I went to 5 different doctors and all I received were a lot of pain pills and muscle relaxers. When the RX’s didn’t help the pain, I had to start having epidurals done. I had a total of 7 epidurals. The pain was so bad that the most I relief I got from one of the epidurals was only for a month, and the other 6 did not help.
I came into “Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab” and after 4 weeks of treatment I felt like a new man. I feel like I am 10 years younger. My backaches have improved 100%. I no longer have any of the shooting pains down my legs and into my feet. I was able to go back to working like I had before. I was able to sleep much better at night. I was able to start doing activities that I enjoyed very much, and had been forced to stop doing due to the pain.
I think that Chiropractic care is marvelous. It has changed my life for the better, and done things that I didn’t think were possible.
Pete Cobb
When I started this program I was feeling down and in a lot of pain. Since being on the program for about 3 weeks the pain has gone. My energy level has come up so much and I have lost 16 pounds. All of the staff and doctor have been great in helping me to feel my best during this time. I am very happy about that.
Thanks a lot!
Betty J Mayo
I am very happy because in two weeks of treatments, I no longer have headaches, and my leg pain has gotten better. I am able sleep through the night. I really didn’t believe that I would get better because I have suffered with back pain for years. I feel better, I walk better, and eat better. My leg pain has improved also. I am so impressed. I sent my mother and sister a copy of the newsletter, hoping they will be able to visit such a place in the state of Maryland. I am looking forward to the next progress of my new me. I have also lost weight.
D.S.
I was having leg cramps at night 2 to 3 times a week. Some cramps were so severe I could hardly walk to get my medicine. Since taking 1 tablespoon of electrolytes at night before bed, I have not experienced any cramps.
J. Allen
I first came to Alternacare in late March. I was very pleased with all the information I received that day. I started the program April 9, 2008. I am so much better today April 30, 2008 and I have lost 9.2lbs. I was suffering with neck pain, low back pain, knee pain and stiffness, and stomach discomfort. I am so pleased my back pain and neck pain is about a 1 now (from scale 1-10) my knee pain is also about a 1. My mobility has greatly improved. My stomach discomfort (gas) has left me. Also I am a diabetic and my sugar reading was 102 points this morning. I am really excited about the program and I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks.
Mary Barber
I have been coming to Alternacare for 3 weeks and my joint pain, night sweats & not sleeping all night has gone away.
I feel so much better. I can get out of bed with no hurting, I also feel better during the day because I am not so tired.
I love this place. The staff and doctors are wonderful.
Lisa Martin
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 approximately 15 years I had intense dizziness so bad I could not move about. I was awakened by it. Nausea came with it at times. I spent many days in bed or chairs. During these years I sought medical attention, nothing helped. These spells (I call them) were very frequent.
I discovered Alternate Holistic Health Care and went to them because I had a problem with my lower back. I did not mention the dizziness for I felt there was nothing could be done. Then one day I had an appointment I could not keep for I was again bed ridden dizzy. I took a later appointment and explained why I could not keep the appointment. Dr. Poli gave me some supplements and a back and neck treatment, at that time I was somewhat dizzy after adjustment, I stood up and I felt strange and my dizziness was gone. It has been a long time gone which to me is hard to believe but it’s true and I shall be forever grateful.

I started coming into "Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" because I had severe headaches, as well as neck, shoulder, and back pains. I had suffered with the headaches for 3 months before I started care. The headaches would be so bad that it would hurt for me to move my head. When I was suffering from a horrible headache it would be so bad that even my eyes would burn. I would have a headache all day every day. My neck, shoulder, and back had been bothering me for 4 years before I started my care at this clinic. My neck stayed stiff, and hurt when I would turn my head in any direction. My shoulder would ache and hurt when I tried to move my arm at all. My back had a constant ache in it that made my daily activities unbearable. I was not able to sleep at night because of all the pain. If I was lucky enough to fall asleep I was only able to sleep for a short period of time before I would wake up with pain.
I went to my primary care Doctor and was told that I had arthritis and biarthritis. I was given medicine to take, and was told that it was all that would help with the neck and shoulder pain. I would have to take at least 2 or 3 pain pills a day. I would try to go as long as I could in between pain pills, but when the pains got to be so bad I would have to take something.
After 2 weeks of treatment at "Alternacare Physical Medicine and Rehab" I was headache free. I had spent 3 months of having a headache every day to not having one since. After a month of treatment, my neck, shoulder, and back pains were gone as well. I can move my neck, shoulder, and arm now without any pain. I am able to go and do activities that I have not been able to do in a while, and be pain free when 1 am doing them. I am able to sleep better at night which makes my days much better. I was very leery of chiropractic care when I started treatment, but I am amazed at the results that I have gotten. I think that chiropractic care is wonderful, and I wish that I had started it years ago.

Before I came to Alternacare the only remedy for my back pain was surgery. My work requires a lot of highly active duties that are strenuous and repetitive. This pain has lasted over 30 years and had become so severe that I was not able to get off the floor by myself. My legs were also hurting for years. Most of my problems have been from poor living habits and bad diets.
Since being treated at Alternacare, I have lost excess fat while gaining weight. I move freely without pain and I now sleep throughout the night more than I was before. I have a clearer mind and in general have a better life.

I came to the clinic because it was hard to walk because of knee pain. My weight wasn’t a big issue, but I thought losing weight would help. I started supplements and the treatment, but the knee pain continued. I was given a knee and ankle adjustment and the pain was gone!

I used to get headaches every other day, along with pains in the neck and shoulders. Since receiving my treatments, I have gone days without these kinds of pains. I know if I continue I will be able to go from days, to weeks, to months without pain.
