Testimonials:
When I began to see Dr. Swarthout, I considered myself in better-than-average health except for three (fairly minor) problems. I have suffered monthly debilitating migraines for over 50 years. Pretty much any slight stress caused me to get a headache. My worst headaches were monthly and lasted about 3 days. During those three days I couldn't get much sleep and was almost non-functional in the day time. I had seen many doctors and specialists over the years who gave me a variety of pain medications, most of which didn't help much.
I also had a very unstable thyroid. The thyroid varied from hyper to hypo almost from one day to the next. The imbalance made me feel jumpy, restless, unable to sleep, tired and yet hyper, feeling like I had bugs crawling on me, always too hot and completely intolerant of heat. I had a sort of jumpy pressure - a feeling I call "fight or flight". I had been to several doctors who tried to stabilize it but had ended up taking an herbal supplement that brought it under control until recently.
The third thing was that I had begun to have a pain in my chest that really scared me. I I saw specialists who said my heart was fine and not to worry, but it still scared me.
The symptoms from those three things made it hard to sleep and hard to function when I needed to be awake. I had seen many doctors from general practitioners to specialists who were not able to help other than giving me medications that I would need to take the rest of my life.
I had seen another naturopath who helped marginally and then I found Dr. Swarthout. After a couple of months with Dr Swarthout, I realized I had just gone through spring in Fresno with absolutely no allergies. I have had severe allergies every spring since coming to Fresno over 10 years ago. I had not mentioned that to Dr. Swarthout, but the diet and supplements had that wonderful side-effect. For me, that was major and worth the cost and all the effort to comply! I was thrilled!
Within 3-4 months, I could see that my headaches were less frequent and less severe and my thyroid was more balanced. The thyroid symptoms became so much milder that most of the time I wasn't aware of them enough to give a report. And each month my headaches were milder and didn't last as long as the month before.
My health is vastly improved. I lost quite a bit of weight without even working at it. I have more energy, more stamina, more endurance, more tolerance of stresses in my environment, and better all around health. The key component for me is that Dr. Swarthout has been able to find the actual cause of the symptoms and work at healing the body so the symptoms go away. Where other doctors treat the symptoms, Dr. Swarthout treats the whole body so it can heal itself.
