As a soloist, the last thing you want to hear is that you need sinus surgery, but that's what I was told. I continually got sinus infections and my septum was deviated. I was uncomfortable with the thought of surgery for several reasons. I thought about trying something "alternative" and Integrative Health Care was recommended to me.
I must say making an appointment with IHC was one of the best decisions I made. Not only is NAET and NMT a wonderful alternative to surgery, the staff of IHC is caring and considerate of each person's individual needs and will do whatever they can to accommodate your requests.
With an individual intake and initial testing revealing stresses and weaknesses in the body, the practitioner suggests prioritizing treatment. By experiencing treatment and using supplements, you are on your way to good health!
Not only was I experiencing symptoms of problematic sinuses, I was also suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis, and carpal tunnel. I humbly say that I now have more energy and feel better than I have in years.
Thank you to Dr. Rhodes, Nicole, Amy, Shannon, and Kitty Ghen for a positive experience at Integrative Health Care and I am now committed to sharing my positive experience with others. I invite you to do to the same.
Wishing you good health and well being, Carmel K.
In late winter of 1996, at the age of 26, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I started experiencing the first symptoms in November of 1995 after an extremely stressful period in my life. In a span of two months, I came down with a serious case of the flu followed by the unexpected death of my husband and ending with a trip to the hospital for an emergency surgery on a herniated endometrial cyst that I never knew I had. Up until this point, I had pretty much never been sick. It was rare for me to even get the sniffles.
After my diagnoses, my rheumatologist tried just about every non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) available to control the pain but none of them worked. I was dead set against trying the harsher drugs currently used so I dealt with the pain until Spring of 1998 when it got so bad that I was having trouble walking. Fear of becoming a cripple urged me to finally agree to go on Methotrexate, which is a chemotherapy drug that showed an ability to alleviate the symptoms of RA. The list of side effects is long and includes hair loss, mouth sores, nausea and liver damage. In the fall of 1998, my doctor finally found a dose that started to relieve my symptoms. My condition was kept under control while I stayed on the drug with some occasional flare ups. I was lucky enough that I did not experience most of the usual, unpleasant side effects. (continued)
