			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.rcfhl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/daniel-drahnak.jpg" alt="Daniel Drahnak" title="Daniel Drahnak" width="226" height="256" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-238" /> After consulting a number of allergists, general practitioners, internists, and nutritionists during the years of 2007 to 2010, I was either told there was nothing wrong with me or given ineffective treatments for my symptoms of chronic fatigue, upper respiratory infections, and hair loss. Despite the extensive medical knowledge of these medical practitioners, I was still sleeping 9-10 hrs a night and always tired. I still caught every cold and flu of the season and always felt sick even when I wasn&#8217;t coughing or blowing my nose. And I still had a large patch of hair missing from the back of my head.</p>
<p>Frustrated and completely without hope, I was referred to <a href="http://www.rcfhl.com/about-rochester-center-for-healthy-living/dr-catherine-waller">Dr. Waller</a> by a family friend. After the first visit, I was diagnosed with hyper-permeable intestinal disorder (Leaky Gut). The diagnosis seemed right, but I was certainly skeptical at the time given my past history with other doctors. I was hopeful, however, because Dr. Waller&#8217;s diagnosis was backed up by extensive blood testing and her treatment included a novel concept &#8211; treating the cause of the illness instead of my symptoms. It also included a radical lifestyle change that included abstaining from all dairy, wheat, corn, rice, and other foods to which I had developed an allergic reaction. Large quantities of costly supplements and <a href="http://www.rcfhl.com/functional-medicine/intravenous-therapy">IV infusions</a> were also part of my treatment plan, but the most important ingredient of my treatment was patience. Dr. Waller did not promise that I would get well in a week or a month or even 6 months, but she did say that any results would be the product of my commitment to following her treatment plan.</p>
<p>After three months I saw little results, but was encouraged by Dr. Waller and her staff to stay the course. After six months, I saw more results but still had debilitating bouts of fatigue and sickness. After a year, however, I noticed that I hadn&#8217;t missed a day of work due to illness the entire winter. I also noticed that I was sleeping 7 hrs a night and feeling spry during the day. It had taken over a year of assiduously adhering to Dr. Waller&#8217;s treatment plan. It was difficult, but I never once deviated from her plan.</p>
<p>Today I enjoy a priceless level of health and vitality that I&#8217;ve never known before and didn&#8217;t ever think possible.</p>

I doubted that the results would justify the discomfort with the entire process, and when I had to drink that yellow protein powder, I was ready to give up.

<p>A little over 3 months ago, I had my first appointment with Dr. Waller.  Tests were arranged and there were times I thought the whole process was too complicated.  I doubted that the results would justify the discomfort with the entire process, and when I had to drink that yellow protein powder, I was ready to give up.  Fortunately, as long as I see the possibilities, I usually stick with a project that I’ve set for myself.  In this case, the rewards far exceeded my expectations!</p>
<p>Before I came to see Dr. Waller, I was l losing ground on my ability to get my jobs done.  I was reconciling myself to what seemed like a fact; that as we get older we are less effective and less able to generate the kind of energy we had when we were younger.  When I started this program, I was going to the fitness center 2-3 times each week for an hour of weight training.  The weather hadn&#8217;t turned cold yet so I was still walking my dog up to 3 times each day, but truthfully, it had fallen to 1 time a day at about the time I saw you.  I was using my mental energy to push my body through a day and get things done, but I was definitely losing ground.</p>
<p>Now just 3 months later, I am doing weight training for 1 hour 3 times each week, Zumba dancing 1 hour 2 times each week, and yoga and/or flexibility exercises 1 hour 2 times each week.  I&#8217;m still playing with my dogs, but I&#8217;m up earlier and I&#8217;m rested.  I&#8217;m sleeping at night!  My mind is clearer and I&#8217;m making a lot of progress with the nonprofit organization I’m the president of.</p>
<p>I just turned 70 on January 1<sup>st</sup> and I feel the next 10 years are going to be the best yet!</p>

I was so weak and tired. And I noticed I was becoming intolerant of people and was angry all the time.</p>
<p>I did some reading and tried to locate a doctor who could help me, but most of them didn&#8217;t even call me back. Dr. Waller took the time to answer my questions. She&#8217;s a totally different doctor. She goes over test results and explains everything. I learned I had adrenal fatigue and after I started taking the supplements she prescribed, I felt better right away.</p>
<p>My husband goes to her now, too. I admire that she doesn&#8217;t give either one of us solutions that are going to cause us more problems. She&#8217;s allowed me to enjoy my life, because I&#8217;m not so wound up anymore. I can relax and breathe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Debbie Cousens, 49, of Clarkston. Mother of one.</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-37" title="Debbie Cousens" src="http://www.rcfhl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/debbie-cousens.jpg" alt="Debbie Cousens" width="221" height="250" />At age 42, I started losing weight, shaking and was out of breath a lot. I had to stop jogging and I became incontinent. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and was told the only treatments were drugs and radiation. I took the medication, but it made me sleepy and I gained more weight than when I was pregnant. I eventually stopped taking the medication, because I couldn&#8217;t stand the side effects, and my symptoms came back.</p>
<p>It was horrible and embarrassing. I was so disgusted with the way I felt, looked and everything.</p>
<p>When I found Dr. Waller, she listened and suggested an iodine replacement. That was never an option presented to me by these endocrinologists. Within three months, I had lost some of the weight and had no symptoms. It blew me away, because for all those years, I felt like I was constantly overmedicated. She also determined that my digestive problems were caused by a magnesium deficiency.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m an advocate of hers. She&#8217;s really easy to talk to, and the money is well worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Barbara DeRocher, 42, of White Lake. Mother of two.</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-35" title="Barbara DeRocher" src="http://www.rcfhl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/barbara-derocher.jpg" alt="Barbara DeRocher" width="221" height="250" />I  suffered from episodes of double vision, irritability, sleeplessness,  chronic fatigue and inflammation. I had soreness when I exercised. I was  desperate to lose weight and I was living on B12 shots. I&#8217;d been to  other doctors, but nothing was helping and I was starting to think it  was in my own head.</p>
<p>Dr. Waller took about 20 vials of blood and also tested my urine and  saliva. It took me a while to believe she could find something new that  would actually help me. She looked at everything and fit the pieces  together like a puzzle.</p>
<p>She first determined that I had a hormone imbalance and that my  thyroid was out of whack. She&#8217;s also determined that I suffer from  adrenal fatigue and leaky gut. She prescribed testosterone plus  progesterone, six IV treatments and supplements. After one treatment, I  was amazed at how much better I felt. After six weeks, I was a new  person.</p>
<p>We are still working on some things, but I feel she&#8217;s fixed what was  the main problem. If you would have told me a year ago, I&#8217;d feel this  good, I&#8217;d say you were crazy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Mary Ellen Cameron Scott, 57, of Rochester Hills. Mother of two, grandmother of one.</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-39" title="Cameron Scott" src="http://www.rcfhl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/cameron-scott.jpg" alt="Cameron Scott" width="221" height="250" />I was diagnosed with Hashimoto&#8217;s Disease, a thyroid disorder, and had  struggled with memory loss and with my weight for years. I hadn&#8217;t slept  through the night in about 15 years. I give presentations in front of  people and I was getting so forgetful, I worried I wasn&#8217;t going to be  able to work anymore.</p>
<p>Once, I had driven about a mile away from my house and I didn&#8217;t know  where I was or where I was going. That&#8217;s what made me decide to go see  Dr. Waller.</p>
<p>She gave me hormone supplements and within a week, I was feeling  better. It&#8217;s really amazing how my health has turned around, especially  my memory. I also had the beginnings of osteoporosis and in a year, I  have reversed that with vitamin and mineral supplements. My cholesterol  and blood pressure have now dropped to safe levels and my homocysteine  level has been cut in half, reducing my heart attack risk.</p>
<p>When I think of the expense, I think that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to do my  job if I hadn&#8217;t met Dr. Waller. So, it&#8217;s worth it. My goal is to be  healthy until I die and I plan to live well into my 80&#8242;s!</p>
