Symptoms:	Extreme Fatigue, Depression, Hopelessness
Initials:	P.F.
Age:	51
Story:	It has only been 6 weeks that these symptoms were part of my life, a part that I thought would never leave. They came into my life for no reason that I knew of when I was about 28 years old. I am 51 years old now. Many years were lost trying to find some medical help to stop the hurt. I could not find any. Dr. Sultan’s diagnosis of a magnesium deficiency has been an answer to prayer. Everything that was is now gone away. The symptoms of this sickness are no longer a part of my life, and for that I am forever grateful to Dr. Sultan and his staff. Thank you.
