Swelling/Fluid Retention

LAURA OLES.JPGWhen I first came to Alternacare I was very hesitant. I tried my regular doctor and a specialist and still had no results in why my feet and ankles were so swollen, waking up at night and weight issues. After just a few short months, I’ve lost 22 pounds, no more restless nights and very seldom swollen ankles. I feel like a new person and enjoying how I look and feel. I’m very grateful that I decided to open the door to a new and healthy life.

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.

Merry Todd.jpgEven 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.
As a teen, I began experiencing edema in my ankles and joint pain. My parents sought the advice of many, as well as having me put in the hospital for numerous tests. Yet no one could find the cause. Medication was prescribed and with the pills I experienced the “rebound” effect – better one day, worse the next.
Besides having fat ankles, I gained weight all over as the years went by. (Especially after the birth of twins.)
Finally, I decided to try Alternacare. Why not? No one else could explain my idiopathic edema.
After only two months of careful observations, testing, and nutrition plan, I have improved! My joint pain is practically non-existent. My digestive tract is healthier so that elimination is more regular. My ankles are improving and I’ve lost 20lbs!
I can’t wait to continue the path to a healthier me. Thank you Alternacare for listening to all my symptoms and guiding me in my quest for better nutritional health.

Evelyn&Wernerpic_smaller.jpgWhen 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.
