Story:
In May 2004 my son, J., began treatment with Dr. Sultan. That was the best day of our entire family's life! Prior to this day, our child’s life was completely out of control. Around the age of 2, our son began to experience severe hyperactivity, major temper tantrums, inability to follow directions, aggressiveness, and an inability to sleep at night. As J. grew older his sleep problems increased. He was now sleeping all afternoon. We were unable to wake him. He slept through school, allergy shots, even Disney World! J. was diagnosed over the next 5 years as having attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, obsessive/compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and any other disorder known to man. After trying medications for all of these disorders to no avail – J. had severe reactions to most of the drugs – I began to go in a different direction. We had previously seen psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, pediatricians, allergists, sleep specialists and a neurologist. No one was able to help our son. Dr. Sultan began treating J. for severe food allergies and Candida. He also got treatment for seasonal allergies. Within 2 weeks we began to see a different child. J. woke up! Over the past 1½ years, J. has continued to improve and he is currently controlling his symptoms through diet, supplements, and allergy injections. J. is almost 9 years old and doing fantastic!
