"Dr. Picard was the one and only person to find a solution and end 13 years of suffering"
Thirteen years ago, I began to suffer from the occassional heartburn. I consulted with my primary care doctor and then a gastroenterologist. I watched my diet, avoided the so called trigger foods, and always exercised; yet I was experiencing more and more acid reflux ("GERD"). I took prescription medicine to control GERD and the acid reflux still worsened. As the reflux worsened, the dosage for the prescription medicine increased. Never being able to escape the pain that excess stomach acid causes, I began to contemplate surgery. I consulted with 3 different medical doctors, all specializing in the GI field. The opinions were the same: despite surgery, I would still need to take prescription medicine. I decided not to undergo surgery and I was now on the strongest dosage possible. I took prescription medicine for 13 years. Over the years, I developed allergies to food and antibiotics, and things only got worse. I thought I was also becoming hypoglycemic or diabetic. I was experiencing lightheadedness that not only required me to eat throughout the day; but also required me to eat large meals throughout the day. My once healthy looking red colored tongue had now developed a white coating. My ears began to constantly itch. I was losing my hair. My once flat stomach was now constantly bloated. What was happening to me? Surely, this was NOT normal. I consulted physician after physician and was always told the same thing, "Blood work is normal, you are fine." But I was NOT fine. I did not FEEL fine. Something was wrong. I am not a doctor, but I know my own body - I just didn't know exactly what it was trying to tell me. I needed to find a professional who addresses health problems scientifically (ie., someone who analyzes lab results, orders xrays, MRI's, etc.), yet solves those health issues holistically. I was getting absolutely nowhere with the conventional doctoral referral after referral. I turned to the Internet to research the holistic health care field. I chose Dr. Picard over all other doctors because he had very good information on his website that I could relate to and it was extremely professional. It was also very detailed, informative and encouraging. Upon reading patient testimonials, I felt Dr. Picard's patients were speaking directly to me. These patients suffered from the same health issues as I did, they had the same concerns as myself and everyone overcame their health issues holistically.
I finally felt I was not alone and I could be helped. I contacted Dr. Picard's office and immediately became a patient. I just needed someone to take the time to listen to me. I just needed someone to take that "extra step" in analyzing my data.....Dr. Picard would be that someone. Upon reviewing my data, all my problems stemmed from ingesting prescribed medicine for over a decade. Simply out, I needed an Eastern resolution to a medically created Western problem. While under Dr. Picard's supervision, everything I formerly complained about was addressed and corrected holistically. My hair is coming back. My ears no longer itch. My stomach is no longer bloated. My tongue no longer is coated. I experience no lightheadedness throughout the day. Finally, I eat because I want to, not because I have to. I previously mentioned my sensitivity to foods and antibiotics. This year, I had the misfortune of getting pneumonia and bronchitis from sick family members. Dr. Picard treated both incidences holistically. With natural antibiotics I healed quicker (from pneumonia and bronchitis) than my family members who were prescribed conventional, traditional prescription antibiotics.
And I have saved the most important part of this testimonial for last: I NO LONGER SUFFER FROM ACID REFLUX. Dr. Picard was the individual responsible for providing a nutritional, natural approach of foods and nutrients that finally quieted my burning stomach. Dr. Picard was the one and only person to find a solution and end 13 years of suffering. I am forever grateful to this person who truly listens to and sincerely wants to help his patients. Thank you, Dr. Picard!
