September 2009

One of my issues was a problem with swollen saliva glands which would swell after eating meals. This began in June 2008, the day of my daughter’s wedding. A CT Scan was done in January 2009 with no apparent diagnosis, and the saliva glands continued to swell frequently after eating meals.

I also have other conditions including hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, acid reflux, and high cholesterol…for which I have taken medication for many years. My weight has always been a battle.

As a result of my Nutrition Treatment Program from Dr. Dan, I have been able to reduce my dosage of both the thyroid and acid reflux medications. My blood pressure and cholesterol readings are also much lower. My aim is to be healthy without the use of prescription drugs.

I haven’t had any more problems with swollen saliva glands since Dr. Dan began treating me in March 2009. Within 4 to 6 weeks of beginning treatment, I also started to feel better. The bonus was that I also lost 17 pounds in the process. The weight has stayed off, and I haven’t felt this well in a very long time. Even my primary care physician recently commented on how great I look!

"I found Dr. Dan after nearly thirty years of being frustrated with conventional medicine’s inability to do any more than make me just not sick. I never felt truly well. Every year at my annual physical, I would bring up the fact that I always felt cold and that I could never get rid of a benign skin condition that I have had since I was six. Every year my doctor would just brush me off. I was tired of people joking about how many layers of clothing I always wore, so I went to see Dr. Dan.

Before I saw Dr. Dan, I was able to begin optimizing my nutrition as he recommends. I noticed a definite change after about two weeks. I had more energy and my mood was better than ever, even though I hadn’t realized that it was a problem. Then I met with Dr. Dan and had acupuncture and laser treatments and began a nutritional supplement regimen. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I didn’t think about it. On the third day, I noticed myself removing layers of clothing. It shocked me because I had never had to do that before.

Over the next week, I gradually became warmer until I was wearing clothing that was comparable to everyone around me. I can’t even say what a change this has made in my life. I feel like a whole new person. I don’t have to worry about layering, and I have a third of the amount of laundry that I used to. I no longer feel like there is something not quite right with me. I feel balanced and healthy. My skin condition proved to be more difficult to resolve than my coldness. It took more than a month to subside. I expect that it will probably return, but at least it has been gone for longer than I ever remember.

I appreciate what Dr. Dan has done for me on a daily basis, and I will never go back to the way I was before. His care has given me a level of health I never thought I would attain. I will be sending relatives and friends his way!"

I just wanted to write this letter expressing my deep gratitude to Dr Dan for helping me regain my health. Last spring, after a stressful sequence of the flu, then a concussion, then a strange shingles-like reaction, I found out I was pregnant with my second child. I was feeling better boosted by so much joy to be expecting another member to join our family. Quickly that joy became overshadowed as my health declined and I began to suffer a strange rash that covered half my body including my face and eyes. It was extremely itchy and burned. I was completely exhausted and couldn’t sleep at night from the itching and pain.

I was scared because even though I was excited for this baby we were expecting, I didn’t know how I would care for it in the state I was in. I had always battled with eczema on my hands but this was very different and no one that looked at me knew what to make of it. I was very scared to try heavy steroid creams (the light versions didn’t put a dent in it) or go on prednisone as was suggested since I had my growing baby’s health to consider too. I always have been mindful of using only natural products and being careful to avoid highly allergenic foods, but now nothing I did made a big difference. Special baths, acupuncture (on its own), chiropractic -I would feel a small amount of relief from the symptoms from these things, but overall it just got worse and worse, and I was getting more and more discouraged. I was embarrassed to go out and to meet clients at work and too tired to enjoy time with family or friends. I felt sorry for my son with whom usually I would be enjoying the outdoors and the summer sunshine.

Finally when Dr Dan introduced me to his Natural Healing program I felt hopeful. My sister had seen great benefits from it in her situation so I was optimistic it would really help me too. Within three weeks of taking the whole food supplementation and avoiding the foods (some of them surprising!) that were causing trouble for my body, I saw a change emerging. First my energy levels were improving. We went on a family vacation with my parents and sister’s family and I was happy to be able to go on a short hike and a little kayak excursion on the lake. I was sleeping a little better too. My family noticed the change and was extremely grateful.

2 weeks later I saw even more improvement. I was way more energetic and feeling like I could take regular walks, take care of my family again, and enjoy what was left of the summertime. I was still itchy but the intensity was waning. My face started to clear up 2 weeks later and the amazing part was that beautiful “baby skin” was replacing the terrible lesions I had on my face. My Mom was beside herself with happiness because she had thought I would be scarred for life! My eyebrows started to grow back too.(they had fallen out considerably from the itching and swelling)

Now it is Fall and my baby girl is growing well, and I am feeling more energetic than I had in a long time before the pregnancy. Slight flare-ups still have occurred but with each week they get less and less noticeable, and for the most part my skin feels soft and normal again! I feel so ready to be a Mom of two, knowing I will have the energy to keep up! I look forward to continuing on the program after the baby is born, and attaining an even better level of health. I know that with Dr. Dan’s help I will continue to improve and refine my body’s state of wellness and the benefits will trickle down to my kids too.
