10. Donald: Digestion Problems

Also: Sleep Problems, Sinus Infections 

"I Have Suffered from Reoccurring Ailments..."

From Donald in Carmel Valley, California:

To Whom It May Concern:

For most of my adult life I have suffered from various reoccurring ailments that conventional medicine treated with drugs. I had frequent sinus infections, three or four times a year, when antibiotics were prescribed. I had frequent digestive complications, and was treated with anti-acids. The drugs caused numerous side effects and were partially effective.

I started seeing Béatrice Levinson in June 2005, at the suggestion of my doctor, Cassandra Ohlsen, MD. After discussing my diet with Ms. Levinson, she suggested eliminating orange juice at breakfast to reduce stomach acid and quitting dairy products to alleviate sinus congestion. Both suggestions were immediately helpful. In addition, Ms. Levinson prescribed several dietary supplements that have been helpful in calming my dietary track as well as aiding my sleep.

While I still have occasional problems, Ms. Levinson's diagnosis and treatment have been wonderful for me. She certainly has made my life more comfortable when conventional medicine could not.

Sincerely,
— Donald in Carmel Valley, California
