PATIENTS SPEAK ABOUT NUTRITIONAL RESPONSE TESTING

Some doctors speculate that every disease suffered today has elements of nutritional deficiency.

Does that mean that nutrition can cure every disease? NO  - It only means that nutrients support the health of the body and health breaks down in the absence of essential health giving factors found in whole foods. Then disease sets in.

Hair LossTHINNING HAIR

I am a doctor myself. Maybe I did not take the best care of myself as many doctors have been found guilty of, and I had lost most of my hair on top of my head. It turned into just peach fuzz. Dr. Sarver, who is a friend of mine suggested that I had lost it not due to heredity as I had thought but an infection in my system. I have taken the food supplementations regularly now for a year for an infection and my hair has completely grown back in! 4 Dr. A

AllergiesALLERGIES

As a child and all through my teen years I suffered from bad allergies every spring and summer. If I walked on the grass or was exposed to dust or hot wind, my allergies would sometimes bring on sneezing, runny nose and sometimes lay me out on my back, they were so bad. Dr. Sarver recently put me on a nutritional program. Now I can play in the grass with my children or be in a dust storm without any concerns of allergic type reactions. The bonus was that this same program helped clear up a chronic cough that I had suffered for 10 years! Appreciatively, D.M.M. 6

Hay FeverHAY FEVER

I had the worst hay fever. This year in spite of immense high pollen counts, I'm not really bothered by allergies. Furthermore I'm not getting the colds and flu I used to get. In fact, since beginning Nutritional Therapy I haven't had the flu once. 7 J.S.

ALLERGIES

I moved to California from France two years ago. As soon as I arrived I started developing allergies. I was coughing, sneezing and having to blow my nose all the time. I thought that this would go away after my body was used to the change, but I realized after awhile that it was going to stay like this. I asked Dr. Sarver what might be causing those allergies. He did a comprehensive exam and discovered that the root of the problem was a bacteria in my digestive system. He prescribed some pills for me. After I started to take the pills my allergies began disappearing gradually. And now, three months into the treatment, I do not have any more allergies. Another point that I would like to mention is that because of the pills I am now also gaining weight which I never seemed to be able to keep on before! This is due to the fact that the nutritional supplements are helping my digestive system to function normally. I am really glad I had the opportunity to use those products and I would recommend their use to anyone.40 S. D.

IMPROVED HEARING

For over two years I had been losing my hearing. I had to ask everybody a second time what they said, turn up the radio, television, etc. I went to Dr. Sarver who discovered through some simple tests that I had been suffering an infection that affected my hearing. I started on the program he recommended and within 5 days my ear popped and I can hear GREAT! I can now hear high sounds that were previously hidden from me due to the infection. 8 R.S

HYPERACTIVE CHILD

My child is hyperactive and suffers from attention deficit syndrome. Dr. Sarver examined him and determined he needed Mintran. I started him on it that very day at dinner. His handwriting, math and behavior has greatly improved. In the past it took three weeks to learn the 2's, 3's and 4's time tables. After the nutrition he learned the 6's, 7's and 8's IN ONE DAY! 9 J. B.

THYROID

It’s a great pleasure to share the positive results I now enjoy, thanks to the nutritional program I am on. In 1989, I had a heart attack, followed by a second one in 1990. From that time on, I consistently had heart palpitations and chest pains --DAILY. Those irregular heart beats-- those twinges and pains -- caused me anxiety and fear . . . "Must be a heart attack -- must be a defect." Eventually I learned to live with it, and the palpitations and pain became a way of life.

After several months on Dr. Sarver ’s nutritional program, I no longer had palpitations or pain! At first, the absence was astounding to me. Now, the health I enjoy has become my new way of life. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the program WORKS! 3 M.A.R.

WEIGHT LOSS - IRRITABILITY - LIBIDO

I want to thank you for your help and support over the last four months. (I had) been suffering with irritability, allergies, joint aches and pains, athletes foot, itchiness, lack of libido and was 60 pounds overweight. (Since following the Nutritional Therapy recommendations) I have lost almost 40 lbs seemingly "effortlessly," the irritability and the allergy attacks practically absent. The joint pains have gotten so much better, my sugar cravings are being handled, my energy and stamina has increased. And after having a low to no sex drive for the past 13 years, which has put some strain on the marriage at times -- after just three months following the program I've got HORMONES again! My husband and I both are thankful for that! With sincere appreciation and gratitude, 10 D.S.

HeadacheHEADACHES

Since 1989 I have not been able to travel without getting sick. I would get headaches, have sensitivity to light, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Dr. Sarver found out that these symptoms were due to pollutants that were in my environment more when I traveled (in the car or plane). Since taking the Parotid all these symptoms have gone away and I feel great! In fact I am going on vacation today and I am excited! 11 N. A.

MIGRAINES

Since I have begun my Nutritional Therapy program I no longer have migraine headaches or allergies. More people should know they don't have to suffer with their ailments thanks to this simple health care approach. 12 S.V.N.

THROAT PROBLEMSSince 1969 I have suffered chronic severe sore throats. I mean major sore throats two times a year where I was down and out. I went to medical doctors and got the usual runaround of every antibiotic in the book and although it helped the symptoms at the time, none of them actually made me healthy enough so they would not return every year. I was allergic to certain foods that would cause the symptoms to return and every time I would fly on an airplane I felt terrible for a couple of days. Finally, I consulted Dr. Sarver.  He found I was allergic to jet fuel and that the petrochemicals had clogged my lymph system. He used just three products and now I feel great and I can fly anytime I want with no problem. 13 B.C.

HEART PROBLEMSI have always had chest pains as long as I can remember. It felt like I couldn't take a deep breath. I was examined by upper GI's, chest X-rays, EKG and other examinations and no doctor could find anything wrong with me, but the pain and tightness continued. I had pretty much learned to live with it. I went to Dr. Sarver for another condition and he suggested I take a nutritional product. Five days later the tightness and pain went away and to this day five months later have not returned! 14 L. S.

Chronic FatigueEPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS -- CHRONIC FATIGUE

I have been sick for the last 7 years. I have been tired and run down and my muscles have been so weak that I felt like they would not work for me. It all started with a bout of bronchitis that was so bad that I was flat on my back for one month! Ever since then I was tired like I said, but also every year I got another attack of bronchitis that lasted too long even though I took the recommended antibiotics.

Last year I complained so much to my doctor that I was not getting well he did a blood test that showed I had Epstein-Barr Virus and another virus in my system. He told me he had no treatment for viruses and I was on my own. So I read everything I could about building up the immune system and I took every vitamin and mineral in the book. It did not help either. I was exhausted to the point that I could not sleep at night and my lungs would build up with mucus so badly it would keep me up.

My friend suggested that I go to Dr. Sarver. He found the virus and I began his treatment recommendations. Five days later I broke out in a rash and the mucus built up more than before and then about the tenth day the symptoms broke and I have been feeling better and doing better every week since. I am sleeping better, I am stronger, I am happier and my coworkers say I am nicer. 15 J. K .

StomachSTOMACH

I had been taking ZYPAN for two months. I was having severe distress due to bowel gas and bloating. Not only was it very painful but also very embarrassing. Within 48 hours of beginning the nutritional treatment the bowel distress was greatly lessened. I continue to take it to this day and it really helps.17 S.J.

HEART BURN & POOR CIRCULATION IN THE FEET

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for handling my condition of heart burn and poor circulation in my feet. Since beginning on Nutritional Therapy my heartburn is nonexistent and my feet are never cold. The supplements have freed me from the habit of taking Tums or Rolaids. This treatment has definite positive results and has improved the quality of my life tremendously . . . Thank you very much for the help. 18 B.B.

GALL BLADDER SYNDROME

Over a period of 6 months I went to seven other doctors all specialists in their field -- and got seven different diagnoses and seven treatment opinions (all with no response) for severe pains in my rib cage just under my right breast. I had every kind of test imaginable. Ultrasound, Upper GIs, etc. No answer. In just a few minutes with reflex analysis Dr. Sarver found my problem and in just a short time with nutritional supplement treatment my pain was completely gone. I am feeling good, my friends and coworkers notice I look better and they all want to know what helped me. I tell them who and what it took to help me feel good again. 19 M.D.

BLOOD SUGAR SYNDROME

I have suffered uncontrolled blood sugar for years. I was cranky, disoriented and frankly dysfunctional if I missed a meal. Sometimes I would get impulses to eat as much sugar as I could get my hands on. My doctor gave me INOSITOL for the sugar craving and it went away! He then built my system up with other supplements to strengthen my glands so I was healthier. It worked. I can skip meals now without a problem, I feel great. 20 L.C.

BREAST ENLARGEMENT

After my four children were born I was tired like so many mothers. My chest kind of went flat also after I quit breast feeding. I went to my alternative health care doctor and he tested me for my tiredness and found out that my hormonal system was worn down. I started the supplement program he recommended and my energy level went right up. I look younger and my breasts got larger and more full. I had to buy new bras! It was not my purpose to improve my looks, only to get healthier, but I am glad I got both. 21 D. M.

I am in my late 30's and I continue to get acne before my period. Since Dr. Sarver had helped my back pain I thought I would ask him what he might be able to do for my acne. He had me fill out an extensive questionnaire and he also tested my reflexes and informed me that my hormones were imbalanced. He suggested some nutritional products to help balance me out. I took them and my skin cleared up and has stayed clear since then. But the interesting other effect is that my breasts are fuller and my husband is noticing. I have really gotten larger breasts since I have gotten healthier and I have not gained any weight! This is great.22 J.I.

CHRONIC FATIGUE
"I was making plans to die."

The first time I knew I had a health problem I was driving on the freeway and I had an attack of tachycardia (fast heart beat) and dizziness. I was so bad my young child had to hold the wheel while we pulled over. I felt so bad. For two and a half years I could not drive the car. I could not serve my family. It was so frustrating. I went to the cardiologist. They did all of the tests and found I had a mitral valve prolapse.All of the many drugs they tried had no effect except for negative side effects.
  • An ear specialist looked in my ears which were now oozing thick fluid and I suffered from dizziness. To this point no doctor had discovered an infection. No doctor knew what was the cause of my condition.
  • I had MRIs to rule out tumors.
  • I tried every antibiotic but I was allergic to all of them.
  • At this point I was suffering from chronic bladder infections as well as all the rest.
All together I consulted five doctors and I was at the end of my rope. I was making plans to die, getting my financial issues in order when I heard about the work that Dr. Sarver does with Nutritional Therapy.I went to his office and he did some testing of my body and told me he thought I had been suffering from a chronic systemic staph infection. He suggested some whole food concentrates and I began to take them.EVERY WEEK ON THE PROGRAM I FEEL BETTER, and I am doing the volunteer work I used to do. I FEEL GOOD! The worst thing about being so sick is that you give up hope, but my positive changes have been moving along so quickly I KNOW I WILL BE WELL SOON. I am not on any antibiotics now. My ear is not draining fluid and pus anymore, my dizziness is mostly gone, my heart feels much better and my energy is UP! Thanks to Dr. Sarver and the Nutritional Therapy. 23 S.O.

About five years ago I began to be always weak, tired, jumpy, light-headed, dizzy and nauseous. Most days it was an effort to get out of bed. Everything I did was an effort. Many visits to doctors did nothing to improve my situations. I was told, "your symptoms tell me nothing." I had many blood tests, urinalysis, X-rays and even stress tests and a cardiac catheterization. I was started on medications and as a result I felt certain that I was dying. I resigned myself to the fact that I would feel this way for the rest of my days. Then I found Dr. Sarver and started on an NRT regimen and to my surprise I felt like a new person in a very short time! I told my MD about the results of my NRT and his reply was, "I'm skeptical." My answer to him . . . "I'm not - I know it works." 24 A.D.

BOWEL PROBLEMS

Constant diarrhea for years. Female, 52. Onset of symptom 8 -10 years previous.

After being on the supplements for several weeks, my constant diarrhea that I suffered with for years was gone. Now I have regular bowel movements with normal consistency. Also the bloating and tenderness in my abdominal region is gone. I recommend to all my friends to be evaluated nutritionally.25 L.Y.

I endured for months a case of ulcerative colitis . . . Undergone the conventional medical treatment (Prednisone) to no avail and was left with no remaining drug treatment alternatives. (After) we began nutritional therapy . . . I noticed improvement in my condition the first week and made steady improvement. In just a short time the condition and all of its symptoms were totally cured. This is an amazing result for a medical condition that might otherwise call for a surgical solution. Thanks again. 26 P.M.

I suffered irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis, stomach acid and pains and depression until I began Nutritional Therapy. This nutritional plan is one of the best investments I have made toward gaining better health. The body needs the extra nutritional help that we cannot obtain through our regular eating habits. I hope that others will read this and give Nutritional Therapy a try. 27 D. G.

CANDIDA

I did not know that I had a yeast infection in my body. I knew my wife was having trouble with them all the time but I did not know that men could get them. It turns out that I had the infection in my prostate region and I was giving it to my wife. Once Dr. Sarver treated me for my yeast infection, her infections went away. Anybody that has a yeast infection should have themselves and their spouse checked, in my opinion. 28 J. C.

My vaginal yeast infection kept coming back no matter what prescribed or over-the-counter medications I used until I got my body chemistry straightened out with the proper nutritional products. 29 J. I.

MENSTRUAL CRAMPS

For almost ten years when my period started I was so bad I could not leave the house for sometimes two days. Heavy bleeding, severe cramps and even fainting spells were commonplace. After five gynecologists had no answer, Dr. Sarver put me on a program of nutritional supplements. My next cycle passed with NO SYMPTOMS. 30 B. W.

PMS

I felt so drained all the time and I was only 26 years old. It was pretty depressing to feel that way all the time. Before my period I would be tired, have breast tenderness, ovary pains, hot flashes, cold sweats, and heart palpitations. It was terrible! I had only one week out of the month that I felt okay.

On top of that I had allergy problems. I kept getting sinus infections and sinus headaches because nothing every drained out of my sinuses. It didn't matter what medicines I took either.

Now, I feel 100% better! I can't believe that Nutritional Therapy could help everything that was wrong with me. You don't know how much this means to me. Thanks Again. 31 T.F.

For three weeks out of every month I felt premenstrual or menstrual. My breasts got so swollen and painful that I used to tell my husband not even to look at me from across the room because they hurt so much. Two medical doctors examined me with no satisfactory results. Dr. Sarver views me as a whole person and took the time to understand my problem. Once he considered it, he suggested I take one supplement and it took the problem right away. 32 A. H.

My husband always knew when I was going to start my period before I did. This went on for years. I did not believe him that I was different around my period because I could not really tell that I was not right. I had cramps and sometimes flooding once my period did start. All of these symptoms are gone since I have begun the supplement program Dr. Sarver recommended. My periods are regular with no cramping or flooding. I do not get cranky or hard on those around me just before my period anymore. In fact, my husband and I can not even tell when my period is going to begin unless we look at the calendar. Thanks. 33 D. D.

DEPRESSION

I have suffered bouts of severe depression for as long as I can remember. I'd spend days at a time in bed, sleeping and crying. I felt as if I were in a black hole that was trying to swallow me up. I didn't seek help because I thought they would tell me I was crazy. As the years went by the bouts went from once a year, to twice a year, to every month. I had no doubt that this was a physical imbalance of some sort and finally sought help from the medical profession. Their solution for my physical problem was drugs.

Since I have been taking the supplements for about 6 months, I feel great! I have more energy, and as a bonus, I have also lost weight. I also had some ovarian pain which the medical doctors weren't treating successfully, and I have been free of that pain. The best part is having it all taken care of without drugs! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is suffering! 34 R.M.

MENOPAUSAL HOT FLASHES

I went to the best hormonal doctor in town and he evaluated me and put me on what I guess are the usual drugs. They made me feel worse but I stuck with them as long as I could. I then heard about Dr. Sarver. After two months on the program my hot flashes are mostly gone and I am feeling a lot better with no medication! 35 L.D.

IMPOTENCY

As I have gotten older I have been getting up at night and going to the bathroom to urinate. I have also noticed that my wife is more eager and able to make love than I. But since I have been taking the food products you recommended I haven't been getting up at night as before and my performance before I go to sleep is better too. Do you know what I mean? Thanks. 36 J. R.

BACK PAIN

I fell down some stairs on my back and really hurt it badly. I just got worse for about two months with my back stiffening up and the pain never going away. I started some chiropractic treatment and that helped. But when I began the nutritional products the pain and stiffness went right away. I am seventy-four years old and I did not really expect to feel this good so easily, I thought I was just getting old. I guess not yet. 37

About 18 months ago I noticed that no matter how much sleep I got I felt tired most of the time. My energy level was extremely low, and I had dark circles under my eyes. I also noticed that my mood would change very easily-- I would get emotional or irritable over small things. Even though I was aware of feeling like that I couldn't seem to do anything about it. Dr. Sarver recommended that I start taking Drenamin. After taking the Drenamin I had more energy, my mood was more even, and the dark circles under my eyes went away. The change was so noticeable that even my friends could tell the difference. 38 Y. R.
