Designed Clinical Nutrition Improvement Reports
I was skeptical as anyone else when beginning the Nutrition Response Therapy program. However...and that is a big HOWEVER, I trusted Dr Gallagher (after all, I work for him..and was his patient long before that ) and I really had nothing to lose.
For as far back as I can remember, I have suffered with Irritable Bowel Syndrome accompanied by constipation. My primary and gastro doctors had me try several medications. I ate very little food...none of which included fruits or vegetables...they would set off a terrible attack. I missed, or was late for...or had to leave quickly from work many days. I dreaded going out for dinner with family or friends because I knew the next day I would be sick as I never knew what foods would turn on me.
My IBS attacks were severe and lasted for many hours. The pain and vomiting seemed endless at times. I was having at least one a week. On several occasions in the past my family had to call the first aid and send me to the hospital because I was so sick. So, as I said.....I had absolutely nothing to lose.
As Dr Gallagher began to test me (one of his greatest challenges I think!), he found my "priority" to be my heart. Well...there, I thought....it should be my stomach not my heart! This isn't going to work I said :( But he encouraged me to continue. I began taking the recommended supplements and within a month noticed some slight improvements! As months went by, the improvements were greater.
Today my life has changed dramatically. As I write this, I haven't had an IBS attack in over eight months. I have been able to eat some cooked vegetables ( I would still like to eat some of them raw and know that will happen!) I have been able to digest salads and fruits as well. I am no longer exhausted and no longer have that "I can't put one foot in front of the other" feeling.
The only thing that I can attribute this "miracle" to is this program. --Christine
I was feeling very unbalanced physically and tended to get really tired easily. In the fall I began to create mucous which would wake me at night and bother me in the day. My balance on ladders was not good, I fell a few times.
I now feel more balanced physically. I don’t fatigue as easily. The mucous has lessened and is almost gone completely, and I have had no sinus infections. I am able to do “ladder jobs” again. -- Pam M.
When you are 82 and have several health issues (heart, rheumatoid arthritis) you accept the various aches, pains and swellings as all part of aging. You take your meds and do your best. I am thrilled to say my best has increased ten fold since Dr Gallagher recommended Catalyn. For years I have problems with swollen toes on my left foot, where I had surgery for a bunion.
About 2 weeks after starting Catalyn I noticed I could wiggle my toes! Hadn’t done that in years. Gradually the toes have returned to normal size and color. The arthritis severely affected my wrists, hands and fingers. They had become very discolored and because of swelling I was not able to bend my fingers on either hand. Today I can flex my fingers, make a fist, and have regained strength in both hands. I cannot wait to see what is next !! -- Ruth O.
It was hard to breath. I was always bloated, tired, unable to sleep well, dragging myself around and unable to walk long distance. I had constant heartburn and indigestion and had a feeling of “unwellness” I was on 8 medications for which just maintained but did not improve my condition. Despite all measures I took to change my health (diet, exercise, etc) I was defeated and depressed.
I now find that my breathing has improved, I am not as bloated, my movement has improved 99%. I have lots of energy and would rather stand that sit. I am sleeping through the night, am able to walk longer distances and can leap, jump and bound up the stairs. -- Theresa C.
I couldn’t walk longer that 4-5 minutes before my legs become “heavy”. I did not have the energy or strength to lift my legs and had to sit for a few minutes and then was able to proceed. I would go to bed and read for 2 hours and still not be able to fall asleep. I would wake during the night and stay awake for over an hour. I would wake in the morning feeling stiff and old. I would putter around for 2-3 hours doing what I had to do and then sit for the rest of the day. I had no energy or desire to do anything else. Just felt very listless.
Now I can walk for 30 minutes (or more) for exercise or shopping. Now I get tired at 11:00 (or before), go to bed and go right to sleep. When I wake during the night to go to the bathroom, I immediately go right back to sleep. I awaken after 7.5-8 hours feeling rested. I wake with no stiffness at all. Now I get up and do what I have to do, go out and exercise and still want to do projects or other activities. -- Dianne R.
Jonah, 16 has been suffering from Reynaud’s Syndrome for the last 4 years. His fingers and toes would turn blue if he kept still for long periods of time – playing video games, writing long exams, holding a book. Going in the ocean made his feet go numb and he no longer enjoyed going to the beach. In cold weather, his hands were blue by the time he came in from the bus stop. Our pediatrician and an endocrinologist told us to “just keep an eye on it – there was really nothing they would do about it now”Dr. Gallagher began treating Jonah chiropractically for his symptoms. Jonah’s hands improved significantly – not getting blue as often, but they did still occasionally um color with extreme weather or during written exams.In November, Jonah began the Nutrition Program with D. Gallagher and the results have been fantastic. He has been out shoveling snow for hours at a time, wearing gloves, but now his hands are bright, healthy red when he finishes. There is no numbness. Jonah has taken several sets of exams, including the 4-hr SAT, and has been able to write all the essays according to his mental ability, no longer having to stop short because of a physical disability.Jonah is also an avid guitarist and playing music is a key part of his life. The results achieved from the Designed Clinical Nutrition program have been a wonderful relief to us all. We are grateful to Dr. Gallagher for continually searching out ways to help us achieve optimum health – Jonah K.
