Justin R

Success Story

We came to see Dr. Sultan with our 10-year-old son, Justin, who had experienced many different problems since birth.  He has had pneumonia four times, being hospitalized each time from one week to ten days.  He was very hyperactive and suffered with Candidiasis problems since age 18 months.  His growth pattern was slow for his age, and he had a very short attention span causing great difficulties in school.

Dr. Sultan tested Justin for all sorts of allergies and thyroid problems.  He started him on shots and therapy for the areas needed and in 14 months, we have had a dramatic change.  Justin eats well, sleeps well, has achieved good grades in school and really feels good about himself and so do we.

Thank you, Dr. Sultan.  You answered our every night prayer for Justin.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

This is one of the classical examples of neuro-immune disorders.  At the very young age he started manifesting immunological problems in the form of respiratory allergies and reduced immunity that caused him to have four episodes of pneumonia.  Because of antibiotics he developed problem with the yeast and that was followed by development of neuro symptoms in the form of hyperactivity and short-attention span.  One of the most important causes of reduced immunity is low thyroid.  When hypothyroidism and inhalant allergies were taken care his health turned around.  There are numerous children who are suffering unnecessarily because of undiagnosed allergy problems and endocrine problems like low thyroid.

Success Story

For approximately 8 months before I came to Dr. Sultan, I was breaking out in hives daily.  I was very irritable and had severe headaches.  After coming to see the doctor and receiving treatments - CET and mold injections, thyroid medicine and iron and calcium - I have greatly improved.  In a little over 4 months, all of these symptoms have disappeared, and I feel wonderful.  My family has also noticed that I am much more pleasant to be around.  As I look back at how I felt in April, I can hardly believe that I was that miserable.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

  This is the classical outcome when you look upstream for the causes instead of looking downstream with what question-what medicine can I give for hives, irritability, or headaches etc. don’t suffer unnecessarily.

Allergic Rhinitis

Name

J. D.

Success Story

 I had been plagued for many years with a persistent sore throat, maddening and intense itching in my throat, ears, eyes, and mouth, and finally the symptoms that thankfully prompted me to seek treatment from ATC was a throat so swollen from allergies that it felt like my food wouldn't go down my throat. I was unable to swallow and when it finally did get swallowed, it would scratch my throat so that I had sores in it also.  Antihistamines no longer helped at all.  Now, I'm finally able to sleep better since I no longer wake up from intense itching and it's no longer as if I'm constantly controlling my temper.  I just simply am not as irritable!

I've been so very happy with quickness of relief from ATC that I would wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone, and I wish that all doctors were as conscientious and knowledgeable as they are at ATC.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

People are made so miserable red common allergies. they try various remedies including antihistamines nasal sprays inhalers etc. the truth of the matter is that respiratory allergies are among the easiest to treat if you focus on treating the causes.

Candida

Carolyn Mc

Success Story

I was having problems with joint pains, gas, depression, loss of memory and other things.  After taking Nilstat and CET shots, I feel 100% better.

I am thankful to the Lord for sending me to Dr. Sultan.  A friend recommended me to him and I have also shared how I felt and what the treatment has done for me.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

  One of the most important causes for chronic illness are messed up gut microbiota because of poor diet, antibiotics, high sugar intake, birth control pills and antibiotics.  One most important microbiota is yeast which when overgrows it affects digestive area like in her case having gas. The other most important organ affected is brain. Her cerebral symptoms were depression with loss of memory. Besides these two major organs it can affect any other organ system which in her case happen to be musculoskeletal system.  Simple changes to the diet and antifungal medication was all that needed to turn her around.

When I started coming here, I had trouble breathing.  It is greatly improved and shortness of breath is greatly improved to a point of non-existent.  My nerves have settled down and my headaches have stopped.  I no longer have cold hands and feet, swelling has subsided, my meals are much more enjoyable since the nervousness does not upset my system. 

My allergy shots take care of the problems I had with molds, hay, and grass.  The thyroid problem is greatly improved with the medication I take.  The magnesium medication has done wonders.  I feel stronger and not tired anymore.  My Candida is under control.  The picture in my chart needs to e replaced because I look much better now.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

 What a remarkable transformation not only internally but externally also that she is proud of how she looks now than before the treatment.  For respiratory symptoms always think of inhalant allergies like dust, mold, pollens etc.  For all her problems what she needed was upstream treatment and answering the question why which in her case turned out to be yeast overgrowth, magnesium deficiency and hypothyroidism.

Candidiasis, Low Thyroid

Name

Douglas N

Success Story

When I first started treatment in May of 1990, I wasn't sure this treatment would help my symptoms.  I had memory loss, fatigue, mood swings, itching of the arms, lack of concentration, light headedness, sore throats, and sinus infections. 

Now one year later, all my symptoms have improved, and many disappeared.  At times when I stray from the diet, I have recurring symptoms.  With the medicine and diet, I have improved 100%.  I'm thrilled with the results.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

  This is interesting dilemma people face when they have some medical problems. It is- which kind of specialist could be the best to take care of the problem.  We are trained to go to physicians who are geographical specialists like cardiologist, gastroenterologist, rheumatologist etc. So this patient was not sure that why should he go to an allergy practice when he has problem with memory loss, fatigue and mood swings.  From the anatomical point of view, he should be going to the psychiatrist.  This brings up an interesting concept that when you try to treat upstream you are always trying to answer the question why? In that case specialties become less significance.  For chronic ailments one need to look upstream and then it will make the point clear that no matter what your symptoms are like headache, runny nose, coughing, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestive upset etc. one of your most important quest should be looking for a physician who specializes in Functional Medicine.

Low Thyroid Yeast, magnesium, food allergies, dust and mold sensitivity

M.K. Age: 66

Success Story

“For 40 years I have struggled with sinus infections. Nothing seemed to help. I had probably 7 different ENT’s and allergists over those 40 years. Years of shots, nothing really helped. Five years ago my symptoms really amped up and I was diagnosed with inflammatory osteoarthritis (my 5^th autoimmune disease). I now had chronic UTI’s, terrible leg cramps, feeling tired beyond exhaustion, and an inability to lose weight. I was miserable and a friend told me to see Dr. Sultan. We found I had low thyroid, candida yeast, dust and mold allergies, and magnesium deficiency. We began to treat these things and I began to feel better. We then tested for food allergies and found I tested positive to all 7 of the major food allergies. I am on a very strict diet but I have lost nearly 60 lbs. and I feel better than I have in 10 years! EHC (Dr. Sultan) has given me back my life! We finally found the cause of all my health issues.”

Dr Sultan’s Comments

 “Remember, complex problems may have simple solutions.

Einstein has to say about it? He stated, “most fundamental ideas of science are essentially very simple and may be expressing language comprehensible to everyone”.  This patient understood the underlying causes and treating them turned them around.  It is that simple!

What is a simple concept in medicine? It is-most illnesses are caused by environmental, dietary, nutritional, and hormonal factors.  It cannot get simpler than that.”

Tics

Name

K.N.  Age: 7

Success Story

“My daughter began experiencing motor tics around the age of 3. They appeared as continually touching her face, clearing her throat, and humming. Tics progressively worsened, and we saw a pediatric neurologist who diagnosed her with Tourette Syndrome. Medication wasn’t suggested, yet in the meantime, I found Dr. Sultan. After a thorough examination, he put her on the candida diet, with supplement Nystatin. With a week and a half, her tics stopped almost 80% and progressively improved to 95% and more. Today she experiences only minor tics, such as sucking in her stomach and touching her face. It’s hardly noticeable and isn’t at all bothersome to her. On top, she previously had a very significant aversion to clothing textures and refused to wear clothing with seams. Today she wears virtually anything. It’s amazing to see the impact of sugar and yeast on the body! She is able to self-regulate her diet at the age of 7! We can’t thank Dr. Sultan enough!”

Dr Sultan’s Comments

 “Typically, many children with Tourette and other neurological symptoms are put on nerve medications.  Remember, children on nerve medications, no matter the reason, may not achieve their full potential.  One of the greatest discoveries made in the field of environmental medicine is, contrary to usual belief, most mental symptoms whether it is Tourette, ADD, ADHD, tics, depression, anxiety, and mental fatigue etc.-the serious kinds-are caused by physical factors and not psychological factors.  Treating the underlying causes many people get off psychiatry causes, off nerve medications, and start enjoying a productive life.  Instead of nerve medications, seek the cause.”

Arthritis, food sensitivities, high blood pressure, diarrhea

Name

B.G. Age: 57

Success Story

“Within the first 3 months of seeing Dr. Sultan, I saw more results in the right direction than I had seen in the past 3 years! Magnesium IV’s and supplements made a big change in lowering my blood pressure and reducing pain. I was able to go off the Gabapentin and Pennsaid. I was sleeping well at night and not waking in pain in the mornings. My energy level began to increase.

Then we began to dig deeper into my food sensitivities. I knew I had several, but I learned that I had far more than I was aware of. The worst one was to yeast. When I did the ingesting test for yeast, within 5 minutes my fingers swelled up a lot, then it moved to my elbows, my shoulder, then down my back and settled in my lower back and hips. It took a week for the reaction to subside! Since going off yeast, taking Nystatin, and weekly antigen therapy for yeast, my pain has reduced even more. I used to go to the chiropractor 1 time a week or more. Now I go once a month or so. My hands aren’t perfect, but they are not getting worse, and the pain is tolerable. I take no pain medication.

Even though I made large changes in my diet, I still continue to deal with diarrhea constantly. I also had a challenge that my right hand would shake when I tried to write. Dr. Sultan said he suspected our gas stove in the kitchen. So, we decided to turn off the gas, get an electric hot plate, and see if in a couple of weeks if that made a difference. Within 2 days of turning it off, the diarrhea stopped! The hand tremors are at 80% improvement. I can fill out forms again and you can read it! So, I got an electric stove for Christmas.

This has been a process. At this time, I have been seeing Dr. Sultan for about 15 months. There is not a “one pill fixes it all” solution. It has taken a journey to get where I am today. And the journey is not over. But I have much less pain, much more energy, and much less time spent in the bathroom! It has been well worth it at this point, and I look forward to the continued progress.”

Dr Sultan’s Comments

“For a debilitating illness, while some patients may have only a few causes, other may have numerous causes, which need to be looked at.  No matter how severe the problem or how many problems are affecting you, you can get well if you focus whole heartedly on treating of the underlying causes.”

SIFO

Name

L.P. Age: 45

Success Story

"For the past 10 years, I have been treated by a traditional MD for hypothyroidism using synthetic medications. I did receive some relief from my symptoms, but never felt normal. I still experienced fatigue, constipation, migraine headaches, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, and irritability. My traditional doctor repeatedly told me the only way to treat my symptoms was with a pill. After years of suffering a friend of a friend of mine recommended I see Dr. Sultan and as a last option, I decided to make and initial appointment. That step changed my life. I was so impressed with Dr. Sultan’s methodology and that he spent so much time truly listening to me and reviewing my entire medical history. After the first appointment, we had a 7-point game plan and he immediately started me on the path of recovery. He explained so many things to me and could tell me why/ what was causing the symptoms I experienced for years. The move from synthetic thyroid medicine to natural thyroid made such a difference in my daily life, but the surprise to me was my diagnosis of SIFO. I had no idea that my gut was responsible for many of my symptoms. After years of being told a change in diet would not help me, I was astounded in the change when I followed the guidance of Dr. Sultan and eliminated yeast and sugar. My stomach issues went away, and I lost 18 pounds and have so much more energy. Thank you, Dr. Sultan, for seeing me as a person and working hand in hand with me to give me my life back. I’m happier, healthier, and feel I can concentrate/ focus on my life instead of my health issues.”

Dr Sultan’s Comments

“One of the most important connections missed in chronic diseases is the brain 11:15 connection.  As a result of an inappropriate diet high in copper and sugar, steroids, food additives, preservatives, and now so many pesticides in all chain food supplies especially glyphosate are causing havoc in the digestive area, killing of good bacteria and along with the growth of bad bacteria, fungi and molds. This results not only in affecting the gut but also the brain and many other organ systems including our endocrine system. Treating that can bring a dramatic relief.   Here is another example that synthetic thyroid does not work as well and if you want to improve symptoms of low thyroid, you need to seek natural thyroid like Armour Thyroid or NatureThroid etc.”

Magnesium Deficiency, SIFO, Stomach pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, joint/ muscle pain

Name

L.B. 31

Success Story

“I have only just been seeing Dr. Sultan for 6 weeks. I came to him with an awfully long list of complaints. Severe and agonizing stomach pains, chronic fatigue, insomnia, joint/ muscle pains, the list goes on. For approximately 5 years I felt like I was barely living. I was depressed, exhausted, in pain and confused as to why doctors could not help me. I was also skeptical of what Dr. Sultan said he could do.

Today just 6 weeks since starting treatment. I came to the office gleaming! I am already feeling much better! I was able to mark numerous improvements on my charts rather than countless complaints. Those agonizing stomach pains are essentially gone! Joint and muscle pain over 75% better. I am sleeping more sound and although I am still experiencing fatigue it is improving day by day. Although my life circumstances remain the same, I find myself handling anxiety and depression far better.

I am very much looking forward to continuing treatment and feeling better and healthier through it! Dr. Sultan has my complete trust!”

“Since seeing Dr. Sultan, and discovery I had a candida overgrowth and magnesium deficiency, I am taking Nystatin, avoiding sugar and following candida diet, and taking tri-magnesium. Over the past 5 weeks, I see a significant increase in energy and overall well feeling. I no longer feel “sick all over” or have stomach pains after eating. I struggled with a feeling of irritability often, fatigue, brain fog, and lack of concentration. These all have subsided as well. I feel happier, more energized, and focused. I could not be more thankful for what Dr. Sultan has done for my health.”

Dr Sultan’s Comments

 “Yeast infection and magnesium deficiency are two of the most common causes of chronic illnesses that involve the digestive track, low energy, muscle aches and pains, brain symptoms such as brain fog, poor memory, poor concentration, mood swings, depression, anxiety and many other cerebral symptoms.  See how easy it was for her to overcome her problems without any symptomatic medications.”

Asthma

Name

Luke N. 6 1/2 years old

Success Story

When Luke was two years old, he started taking inhalation therapy at home, usually three to four times daily, occasionally as often as six times daily. He was sent to ABC Hospital in Kansas City (we decline to use the real name of the hospital for legal reasons) for a full diagnosis and treatment plan. We followed their plan, but the Asthma got no better - even worse at times (last summer was his worst summer) and he had frequent infections requiring antibiotics to cure pneumonia and bronchitis infections. The hospital plan treated symptoms only. Luke now has been taking treatment here for 1 year - allergy shots, low sugar diet, Nystatin.  This has been his best summer in 4 years!  He has needed progressively less frequent treatments for asthma attacks and fewer infections.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

Here are some sobering statistics from CDC about asthma in children: (Center for Disease Control & Prevention)

• Number of children who currently have asthma: 6.8 million

• Percentage of children who currently have asthma: 9.3%

• Number of visits to physician offices with asthma:14.2 million

• Number of visits to emergency departments with asthma: 1.8 million

• Hospital inpatient care for asthma: 439,000

•Number of deaths: 3,630

With all the advancements we are still having about 4000 children die from asthma that is one of the easiest diseases to treat. There should be practically no mortality. I bet all those who died and all those who are suffering were never given a chance to treat the cause. Pills and puffers are not the answer.

Name

Shirley K

Success Story

Until I started seeing Dr. Sultan to find out what my problems were, I'd been getting sick every 6-8 weeks.  I'd have all of the symptoms of the flu but with no fever. After being diagnosed as being sensitive to Petro carbons and allergic to dust, mold, mildew, fungus, dog, cats, cigarettes, perfumes and glycerin, I started on sublingual drops and allergy shots.  My Candida problem was diagnosed about 2 years into my treatment, and I was put on a no sugar diet with Nystatin.  We also found out that my thyroid gland was not working and so started on thyroid therapy.  My total treatment duration was about 7 years, but I am now free of any problems associated with my sinuses, bronchial tubes, thyroid gland or the Candidiasis.  As Dr. Sultan once told me, "You didn't get sick overnight, so you won't get well overnight.  If you're willing to find out what causes your symptoms, you'll eventually find the relief you desire." 

I must also state that during this same time frame my son, who was 3 years old at the beginning of treatment, was also being treated for bronchial and sinus problems.  He also was allergic to dogs, cats, etc.  He is now doing fine and has no problems.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

 So true- people don't get sick overnight and don’t get overnight. Most important virtue you need is Patience. Most of us being raised in “instant coffee” culture don't have patience. It takes time to understand the causes of your illness, how are they affecting you and what to do about them. Then it takes time for body to heal

Name

Jim N

Success Story

These problems had bothered me for many years.  I went to several allergists, but they were only able to offer limited relief from the sinus problems.  One allergist told me that she would not test for food allergy because nothing could be done about it. I went to a neurologist for the migraines.  He put me on several different drugs which only worked for a short period of time.  Then he had me try the injection Imitrex.  It made me vomit and made the headache worse.  When I first saw Dr. Sultan, he started treating me for Candida overgrowth.  Within two months the migraine headaches were gone.  I have not had another migraine in over two years.  With the treatment for allergies, my sinus problems are much better.  I am always able to breathe through my nose now.  I also have more energy than ever before.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

It is not uncommon to see patients making rounds from specialty to another trying to find answers to their debilitating problems. The best advice they get is symptomatic treatments with various medicines. Needless to say they suffer from side effects of medications. The answer had to be found in treating the cause. Remember three words-“education not medication”.

 Thyroid, Candida

Name

Success Story

I have just had my first full-term pregnancy at the age of 39!  After 22 years and four miscarriages, I am thrilled.  After each miscarriage I was never given any reasons, just told that "Well at least now you know you can conceive."  Believe me, that was no help.  My health had been getting worse over the last 5 years and I was told I may have Lupus.

I came to Dr. Sultan about 18 months ago - quite honestly not very hopeful after so many doctors and no answers - just Prozac and a pep talk.  I was taken off Synthroid and put on thyroid and treated for Candidiasis.  Within 4 months I felt terrific, better than in years.  Then I started to feel a bit queasy and tired.  I thought the treatment was failing - too good to be true.  I then found I was pregnant with baby Alexis!

I am convinced the thyroid I received from Dr. Sultan made this possible.  I am so happy -- Thank You!

Dr Sultan’s Comments

one of the most common cause for infertility is low thyroid. Typically, it gets treated with synthetic thyroid like Synthroid which is not an adequate treatment. Better choice is treating with natural thyroid like Armour Thyroid that has two hormone T4 and T3 whereas Synthroid has only one hormone T4. A slight change like this can have a life changing experience-from 4 miscarriages to a healthy pregnancy with a beautiful outcome!

Before coming to Dr. Sultan, I was at an emotional crisis.  I sometimes even felt suicidal.  Dr. Sultan was able to diagnose Candidiasis and a hypothyroid which no other doctor cared to investigate.     I now feel like a new person.  I've gotten my life back.  My physical and emotional symptoms have almost completely dissipated.  I can never thank Dr. Sultan enough for helping me and I know that he truly cares about his patients' well-being.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

Candida is one of the most unappreciated cause for serious cerebral symptoms like depression, anxiety, mood swings, ADHD, ADD, OCD poor memory, poor concentration, and mental fatigue. The key is figuring out the underlying cause and see the need for antidepressants and all nerve medications to disappear.

When I first came to Dr. Sultan, I felt so lifeless and near death.  I was welcomed by a most compassionate and helpful, smiling staff.  In 4 months’, time, my energy level, ability to think clearly, sleep soundly and function well has improved tremendously.  I can't sing or say enough praises for this hard working and dedicated staff headed by Dr. Sultan.  My husband and family are very grateful also, for someone who dug beneath the surface to find the underlying causes and correct them without reliance on medicines that only treat or mask symptoms.

Dr Sultan’s Comments

This is only possible when there is a direct doctor-patient relationship. There are so many barriers that have been placed between physicians and patients that it is very difficult to penetrate them. There is only one solution-remove managed care from the equation and see what wonderful things can happen.
