Brighter Future Because of What We’ve Learned . .
Initials:
J. S.
Age:
9 yrs, male
Story:
By his mom
J. is only 9 years old, but during his short life, he’s known a lot of sickness. As a baby and toddler, he had frequent ear infections and upper respiratory infections. He’s always had mood swings and tended toward “hyper” behavior. At age 5, he was hospitalized with bronchospasms and had several “asthmatic” type reactions during the next two years. Then he began to develop sinus infections and by age 8 was sick 8 months of the year. Eczema began to appear at that time and would often spread over large areas of his body. He was miserable.
After allergy testing and treatment, J.is a totally different child. He is calmer, quieter, happier, less tired, and better able to concentrate on his schoolwork. The eczema is gone. He has only 2-3 colds a year and they don’t seem to develop into the frequent infections that they used to. He can breathe freely and he enjoys jogging! He has fewer stomachaches and headaches, and life is just “more fun”! Hooray!
We are grateful to God for the healing that we see and to Dr. Sultan and his staff for unraveling the “mystery” of J.’s ill health. J. has a brighter future because of what we’ve learned . . . . Thanks!

Always sickly, caught everything, difficulty concentrating, confused, asthma
Initials:
J.
Age:
6 yrs, male
Story:
J. was what we called always sickly. He caught everything going around and often had bad coloring. In school, he had difficulty concentrating and was confused often. Since our treatment began, he no longer has trouble with his asthma; it is as if he never had it. He is healthy and rarely gets sick. His coloring is almost peaches and cream, and his schoolwork is much improved. He doesn’t have many behavior problems so we now call it his angel behavior. We are so pleased we came here. Thanks.

Before coming to Dr. Sultan, I was having asthma attacks at least twice every three months during winter. Also a lot of sneezing and itching, but now that I have started coming here, I haven’t had one in four months.
