Story: |
It has been two years since I started treating myself using Dr. Sultan's Environmental Medicine approach. I believe my problems came about as a bad combination of long-term organic solvent exposures, peri-menopausal era of my life and an inherited tendency towards allergies. Over the past two years, Dr. Sultan's approach had helped me to eliminate a long-standing Candida syndrome and I no longer need any treatment to maintain no symptoms. I was diagnosed with very low thyroid function and natural supplementation and magnesium has reduced the terrible burning pain in all my muscles and AT LAST I'm moving on to a regular exercise program. This in combination with hormone supplementation has taken me to a new level of recovered wellbeing. Last which should have been first (except I'm so whatever) I finally have energy to take on my biggest hurdle - my food sensitivities! P.S.: I was able to reduce my cholesterol from 280+ to 190 using natural supplements! No side effects! |

Dr. Sultan’s Comments: |
Here the main causes were chemical sensitivity resulting from organic solvents, hormonal in the form of low female hormones and low thyroid, and allergy in the form of yeast overgrowth. People are often given a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. It is a garbage can diagnosis. Fibromyalgia means you hurt all over there is no injury or no cause to explain your pain and misery. That is not true. Most of fibromyalgia results from nutritional, hormonal deficiencies and allergy. Fix these causes and you say good-bye to aches and pain, chronic fatigue and other associated symptoms. |

Story: |
I am extremely pleased with the results I have had with treatments from Dr. Sultan. I have lost 20-25 pounds and have much more energy than before. My sugar levels are better and my cholesterol is now at a good level. I don’t worry so much now about having a stroke. I still have room for improvement but now I feel like exercising and I don’t eat as much. I still crave sugar a lot but my eating habits are changing and I feel someday they will be (cravings for sugar) under control. I have told several people about Dr. Sultan and will continue to do so because this is the first time I feel like I’m improving and not just “treading water”. |
