Radiation from CT scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers and kill nearly 15,000 Americans, researchers said on Monday. The findings, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, add to mounting evidence that Americans are overexposed to radiation from diagnostic tests, especially from a specialized kind of X-ray called a computed tomography, or CT, scan.

“What we learned is there is a significant amount of radiation with these CT scans, more than what we thought, and there is a significant number of cancers,” said Dr. Rita Redberg, editor of the Archives of Internal Medicine, where the studies were published. “It’s estimated that just from the CT scans done in one year, just in 2007, there will be 15,000 excess deaths,” Redberg said in a telephone interview.

     “We’re doing millions of CT scans every year and the numbers are increasing. That is a lot of excess deaths.”CT scans give doctors a view inside the body, often eliminating the need for exploratory surgery. But CT scans involve much higher radiation dose than conventional X-rays. A chest CT scan exposes the patient to more than 100 times the radiation dose of a chest X-ray.About 70 million CT scans were done on Americans in 2007, up from 3 million in 1980. Amy Berrington de Gonzalez of the National Cancer Institute and colleagues developed a computer model to estimate the impact of so many scans. They estimated the scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers. A third of the projected cancers will occur in people who were ages 35 to 54 when they got their CT, two-thirds will occur in women and 15 percent will arise from scans done in children or teens. The researchers estimated there will be an extra 2,000 excess breast cancers just from CT scans done in 2007.

UNNEEDED TESTS:  Redberg, who wrote a commentary on the studies, said U.S. doctors’ enthusiasm for the tests has led to an explosion in their use that is putting patients at risk. “While certainly some of the scans are incredibly important and life saving, it is also certain that some of them were not necessary,” Redberg said. In a separate study, Dr. Rebecca Smith-Bindman of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues analyzed data from 1,119 patients undergoing the 11 most common types of diagnostic CT scans at four institutions in 2008. They found radiation dosage varied widely between different types of CT studies, from a median or midpoint of 2 millisieverts for a routine head CT scan to 31 millisieverts for a scan of the abdomen and pelvis, which often involves taking multiple images of the same organ. By comparison, the average American is exposed to about 3 millisieverts of radiation a year from ground radon or flying in an airplane — a level not considered a risk to health. The researchers said efforts need to be taken to minimize CT radiation exposure, including reducing the number of unnecessary tests, cutting the dose per study, and standardizing the doses across facilities. Imaging equipment makers such as GE Healthcare, Siemens, Philips and Toshiba Medical Systems are working to develop low-dose CT scanners.

***How the Extreme Makeover(s) Has (Have) Changed My Life

When I first started coming to Yachter Family Chiropractic Center, my interest was primarily to reclaim my “Arc of Life” which had pretty much disappeared after a whiplash injury from a motor vehicle accident almost 20 years ago. I was happy just to come in and get my chiropractic adjustments, have my subluxations removed, and sometimes do the exercises. I was feeling better than I had in years simply with the pain relief I experienced in my neck, back, and shoulders. Then I started attending the free educational seminars so kindly offered to all of Dr. Dan’s patients, families, and friends. I started learning new and interesting (and sometimes shocking) information regarding the importance of proper hydration, good supplementation, increasing alkalinity, exercise, and what good nutrition actually is. I waited for an Extreme Makeover event, which I had heard was a pretty amazing and motivating experience for a lot of patients. I started annoying and, I think, scaring, some of my family and friends as I often talked about all the things I was learning, what’s bad for us and what can help us be more healthy. But, I kept on talking; and making a few small changes here and there. It was very interesting stuff.

Finally, an Extreme Makeover was offered, and I attended most of the sessions; and began to learn even more. I caught the excitement of Dr. Dan and the crowd. I started drinking more water. I started sprouting almonds, and liked them. I attended parts of another Extreme Makeover, and started eating more vegetables and using sea salt. I attended most of another and started trying to shop more organically largely from Whole Foods, heavily utilizing their fresh prepared foods section, because I don’t cook much. I stopped needing to use Celebrex, which I had used for at least ten years. I signed up with Triumvirate, which I can tell you, is really spot-on with the services they provide. And I kept telling my friends about all of the new and amazing things I continued to learn. My morning coffee break conversation was constantly peppered with “guess what I learned at my chiropractor’s?” and “my chiropractor said…” 

I attended another Extreme Makeover, and decided I was ready to get serious. I work in a hospital and made a commitment to take the stairs every time I descend floors, since I have problems with my knees and going up can be painful. I use the Xiser, even though I am not sure I am doing the bursts exactly right, but I’m not letting that stop me. I am taking more walks, breaking out my little dumbbells, and using my Lifestyle Family Fitness personal training sessions to learn better how to exercise at home. I’ve started cooking again after a 15 year hiatus. Because my work and schedule don’t allow for planning my shopping and food prep, I’m doing the best I can; and actually beginning to find that I, surprisingly, do have more time to do this than I thought. I’m still working on strategies for eating better when I travel, of which I do a lot, but Dr. Fernandez at the office is helping me with that. I’m having Vega for breakfast and using several of the office supplements which were recommended for me. I have finally worked my way up to drinking almost half my body weight in ounces of water. I’ve given up coffee, though I still love the smell and the fellowship around the break room table. I declined the very heavily promoted annual flu vaccination for the first time since working in a medical environment, as well as the H1N1 vaccination.  My Visual Acuity Score, coupled with some recommended blood work, indicated some possible heavy metal exposure, so I am having testing for that, and Triumvirate is scheduling extraction of my silver/mercury fillings (Rick and Adam are also helping to keep me on track as I am working on retirement and estate planning, which I had severely neglected previously and was causing me significant anxiety). Right now I am eating Cocommune PaleoBars regularly as a snack instead of something out of the vending machines. I’m not a hundred percent off sugar, but I am getting there. It is surprising to me how the craving for sugar lessens over time. And as of today, I’ve gone down a pant size during this EMO.   

I continue to pester my family and friends with all of the new things I am learning, but I am starting to see small changes in them as well. My daughter and son-in-law, as well as a coworker, are starting to use sea salt. My brother actually listened and asked questions this weekend as I explained why corn and white potatoes, the only vegetables he likes, are harmful for him. He expressed a reluctant (but hey, I’ll take what I can get) willingness to try mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes, so we are planning to try that soon.  Another coworker was impressed enough with my information tidbits, and watching my gradual lifestyle changes and pants-size-dropping, that she said she wants to come to the next Extreme Makeover with me.          

Yes, I need to continue to work at this, to persist in solidifying and expanding on the good habits I have been acquiring. My story is not as dramatic as some: I did not lose thirty pounds, go off all my medications and have all my family and friends start chiropractic care.  I still have weight to lose and medicines to discontinue as I continue to pursue better health. I still have friends and family yet to convince to try many of the lifestyle changes I am embracing. But as they say, slow and steady finishes the race, and that is my intent. I am thankful to have a doctor with such a well-rounded practice who is so committed to his practice and his patients that he never gives up on us. He runs with us, shops with us, and constantly offers the same basic life-altering content in ever fresh and fun ways so that over time we can finally “get it”.  I think I’ve almost got it!  And it’s good.

RAY CASTRO’S EXTREME MAKEOVER How Our Lives Changed in Just 2 ½ Months!

I was not planning to submit an essay for the Extreme Makeover contest. However, after attending last night’s Week 5 session, I realized how much Dr. Yachter’s program has impacted our lives. Session 5 was on how to read product labels and determine good and bad products. The next morning I began cleaning out our pantry, cupboards, and refrigerator of all bad products. We had been overturning many of our food items already, but I had not gone through everything and still had lots of bad stuff in the house. After I finished, I was not expecting to see the crazy sight piled at the front door: almost 20 bags and boxes of food that were toxic to our cells. I just sat staring at all the bags and tears of joy rolled down my face – I realized that our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren would never be the same again. They would be lives of health! Our blended family consists of 6 grown children and 7 grandchildren. Due to my partner Ray’s commitment to health through Dr. Yachter’s programs, everyone in the family has been impacted; from stopping immunizations, to changes in nutrition, body care, environmental products, and of course chiropractic care.

Ray evangelizes Dr. Yachter’s programs to everyone he meets; family, friends, coworkers, even strangers! I am so grateful to Ray’s commitment to all of Dr. Yachter’s programs. Our families will benefit for generations to come. That’s why I felt compelled to write our story – well, really Ray’s story, because he inspired me so much through Dr. Yachter and his programs!

BACKGROUND: I met Ray over five years ago – he was plagued with multiple medical conditions. He told me how healthy and active he was most of his life, but all that changed when at 40, Ray underwent surgery to remove his thyroid due to a tumor. This set off a host of medical conditions, addressed with conventional medications, which caused more problems: high blood pressure, low potassium, sleep apnea, severe headaches, failing vision, increase in his chronic arrhythmia (the doctors wanted to put a pacemaker in him), anxiety, low energy, gas, nausea, swelling, joint pain and more. Nutrition was barely addressed by his medical doctors. The answer was always another prescription. Ray felt lousy most of the time for the last 15 years! JULY 2009: So there we were, two young-minded, yet obese grandparents, feeling the aging process negatively impacting our lives. Aches and pains impeding our once active lifestyles. How had we turned into two Couch Potatoes, watching TV every night, eating bad food, and then sleeping restlessly, only to awake with low energy, and more aches and pains? During 2009, Ray ended up in the hospital three times. Batteries of tests were performed with no real conclusions for the cause of his ailments. His doctor increased his blood pressure medication, which exacerbated his problems. AUGUST 2009: Then the storm hit… or should I say, the blessing came, complete with a rainbow and Pot-O-Gold! In August of 2009, Ray went on a business trip overseas and ended up in the hospital again. When he came home, he had respiratory problems and anxiety so bad he couldn’t go to work. His doctor admitted him to the hospital for a “few” tests. They kept him for three days to perform tests then released him with Xanax and Paxil, and a list of other doctors to see and tests to take. Our lives had become a nightmare. Ray was panicked to be alone – he couldn’t sleep more than a couple hours at a time – his blood pressure was through the roof – he had anxiety so bad, he couldn’t breathe – he kept feeling like he was underwater – he had severe headaches – his arrhythmia was constant – he was in so much anguish – we couldn’t do anything or go anywhere… After about a month of this surreal craziness, he was referred to Dr. Yachter by Carmen Betances who is a patient of Dr. Yachter. We are so grateful to her for telling Ray about Dr. Yachter! It was unfortunate that Ray had to endure such hardship, but the blessing is that we found Dr. Yachter, our Pot-O-Gold!!!

My name is Deanna Waller and I have been going to Dr. Yachter for over two months. I was introduced to his practice through a friend of mine and patient of his. I had chronic back pain in the thoracic region due to work related wear and tear. I had lived with it for years for many reasons. First of which I can’t stand medications and I didn’t want them. Second, I wanted a cure for the problem, not a short lived fix for the symptom. And lastly, because I procrastinate when it comes to my health! My mom had always told me that Chiropractors were quacks and not to trust them. When I went to my first assessment I was very leery and skeptical. By the second visit I met Dr. Dan and was impressed by his knowledge base. Now it is important to note here my family thinks I have somewhat of an addictive personality and that I put all my eggs in one basket. In other words, I am extreme when it comes to things I’m passionate about. I plainly view myself as one who is a truth seeker and once I discover it, that settles it. So after hearing Dr. Dan’s lecture, I knew I was in good hands and I had to take advantage of this opportunity.

     I had been praying for healing in my body because I am one of the rare Christians who believes it is God’s will to heal ALL the time. So there I was watching, listening, and now working out my healing with fear and trembling! It’s not easy, but I jumped on board and figured it was sink or swim time. Since I started with Dr. Dan, I have nearly lost ten pounds and the back pain has resided. I also have become an ambassador so that I can share the truth about healing with others just as I do about God’s Truth regarding Salvation.

     I have attended several of the free workshops and received lots of information on how to improve my well being. I also joined the walk/run club and have been going for three consecutive weeks after being challenged to do so in the Extreme Makeover. I have completely changed my diet and have incorporated many of the supplements they offer in the office into my daily routine. I have met many different people and heard many different testimonies encouraging me to keep plowing forward. Unfortunately, not everyone was as excited as me. My family thinks I’m a bit of a health nut and most of my co-workers look at me funny, but I know I’m taking a step in the right direction.

     I feel God has led me to Dr. Yachter’s office to receive my healing and although I’m still not pain-free, I know it’s just a matter of time. This has been a pivotal transformation for me and it inspires me to know that there are others out there with the same objective. There is nothing more rewarding than to know you are fulfilling your responsibility when it comes to taking care of your temple.

     I look forward to learning more and achieving future goals because now I truly see there are “NO LIMITS”!!!!! 
     Thanks to Dr Yachter, Dr Leif, Dr Fernandez and all the behind the scenes staff at the office for their time and efforts to change the lives of those around them and to fight the good fight!

This week another patient at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center (YFCC) has been cleared of their cancer diagnosis. In July 2009, Sue had a cancerous tumor the size of a tennis ball surgically removed from her colon. The oncologists recommended chemotherapy to get the rest of the cancer that was left behind. Sue took 2 chemotherapy treatments and then decided to quit and look for a natural route.

Sue found our office by way of fellow church members. She began care at Yachter Family Chiropractic in July. She immediately enrolled in the Extreme Makeover, began receiving chiropractic adjustments (enhanced nerve supply), adhering to the healing diet (alkalized with Supergreens and started a vitamin/supplementation/detoxification regimen), lots of prayer, and she also implemented many stress management strategies taught at YFCC.

Last week Sue’s CAT Scan showed NO CANCER. This case has been medically documented and the fact that Sue’s ‘alternative’ strategies healed her body is irrefutable. Her oncologist has expressed that he isn’t happy that she took a natural route, in spite of the reality that her body is healed. To date, Sue has lost 31 pounds (over the last 4 months), and is now happy to be healthy for the first time in her life! 

Want more information on how this happened?

Then attend week #5 of the Extreme Makeover! 

Remember, ONLY THE POWER THAT MADE THE BODY CAN HEAL THE BODY. Sue’s BODY HEALED BECAUSE OF THE POWER THAT GOD PLACED INSIDE OF HER BODY WAS ABLE TO FINALLY EXPRESS ITSELF WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. Chiropractic has never healed one disease. Only the POWER can!

How the Extreme Makeover has changed my life
     This writing is about my journey to improve my body, soul, mind and wisdom for my own and for my family’s health. My father passed away at the age of 55 from complications of hypertension and diabetes. I have been struggling with high blood pressure for 17 years. I know I am putting myself at risk if I do not control this blood pressure.
     In 2003 and 2005 I became pregnant. Because of my health problems, I had two miscarriages.  After that, I started gaining weight and my stomach blew up like a balloon. In 2006, I became pregnant again. Because of my health conditions, I had several problems during my pregnancy- high blood pressure (out of control), gestational diabetes (took insulin shots twice per day), edema, and toxemia. On April 12, 2007, during a routine check-up, my husband and I received the most horrifying news: my baby was not moving properly and her heart rate was dropping. I was rushed to the triage. I was admitted into the hospital and placed on bed rest. We found out the complications were because of my high blood pressure. My due date was May 21, 2007. April 16th, 2007 my pressure started going up again, so my doctor decided to induced my baby. On April 17, 2007, I delivered a baby girl 4lbs., 15oz, Trinity Grace. My husband and I plan on expanding our family within the next few years. Not only do I want to get healthy before having another baby, I need to.
     After the birth of my daughter, I tried just about every fad diet out there. I would lose 10-20 pounds here and there, but I would always gain it back- plus some. One day I was talking to God and I asked, “Why am I struggling with high blood pressure, why can’t I lose weight, and why is my stomach so big?”  I told God something is not right. I asked him to give me the wisdom and knowledge I needed to deal with these issues in my life. The same day I walked into Dr. Dan’s office and asked him what I needed to do to lose my baby weight and lower my blood pressure. Dr. Dan told me I needed to get adjusted, start the healing diet, and come to the Extreme Makeover classes. I never learned the correct way to eat until I started the Healing diet and attended the Extreme Makeover classes. My decision to join the Extreme Makeover and start the healing diet was an easy one. I have many goals for motivation: like looking good in a bathing suit, having more energy, but the most important goal for me is learning all I can in the Extreme Makeover classes so I help my family and other people I know.
     On March 11th, 2009, I went to the doctor for a check-up, because the week before I was having problems with my blood pressure. When my doctor checked my pressure, she asked, “What are you doing, because your pressure is good today and you are losing weight”. That day my pressure was 130/80. I was so amazed, because my blood pressure has not been that low for 17 years. I told her about the healing diet and the extreme makeover. I have been on the Healing diet for about 5 weeks. I have lost about 7lbs and I am regaining my confidence and self-esteem and I have more energy than I’ve ever had. My 15-year high school reunion is approaching and 5 months ago I wasn’t planning on attending, but now I think I am.
     Since I started the extreme makeover, I have a daily routine:  I walk on the treadmill for 1 hour (3 days/wk.) and two days I run and walk on the track. I am still going to continue with the healing diet once the classes are over. With hard work, dedication, and support there is no excuse for failure. As a Christian, I have faith. Faith is believing all things are possible. 

I AM SO PROUD OF EVERY EXTREME MAKEOVER PARTICIPANT FOR YOUR TOTAL COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE—BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT. YOUR FOCUS AND ENGAGEMENT OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS HAS BEEN AWESOME! 3 MORE WEEKS TO GO IN THE PROGRAM, THEN A LIFETIME OF GOOD LIVING. THE CHANGES THAT YOU HAVE MADE ARE HONORING YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS, BUT MAINLY GOD.
KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON!

*WEEK #4 of the Extreme Makeover will be held Monday night, November 9, @7pm at the Lake Mary Events Center. The topic will be focused on toxicity, its effects, and detoxification/healing strategies.

Dr. Dan,
     I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your chiropractic care and the difference it has made in my life. I have been in 2 major auto accidents. The first one was about 12 years ago. Keeping it short, I tried every kind of rehabilitation and specialist there was in medicine. Trying to find answers and not accepting my condition as final. Not to mention all the medications and drugs I was on to try to live a somewhat normal life. The side effects were evident as well. After a year or two and getting 2nd and 3rd opinions, one medical doctor, as a final resort, said you may want to try a chiropractor.
     At the time money was tight and I didn’t try to find a chiropractor for about another year. I tried chiropractor care and found some relief. Because I have moved several times and have tried to find a chiropractor on each occasion, I have been to 7, yes, 7 chiropractors that I can remember. Most of them I was going regularly for more than a year.
     Well, after getting some relief from all this care, I was still having to take medication periodically and could never leave home without aspirin. I’ve found one of the best chiropractors with you. I have not had to take any medication and feel the best I have felt in years. I don’t wake up in pain and start the day like I used to years ago. I am excited about the difference you have made in the quality of my life. You have the best equipment in your office to help your patients and it is evident that your heart is truly to make a difference. I am excited about the things that you teach nutritionally and I’m looking forward to learning more. Not to mention being over all healthier, feeling better, being more rested, and energetic.
     Dr. Dan, be encouraged in what you are doing and know that you are making more of a difference than you may even realize. The choice is with your patients wanting to make progressive changes and not selling out for many of THE LIES IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY. I take every opportunity to let the community know there is another choice for better health! Thank You Dr. Dan for your passion and heart to make a difference!
God Bless!

As I near the completion of yet another Extreme Makeover, it’s time to reflect on where I started, where I am now and where I want to be in the future. Well, it all started back on a November afternoon in 1956. I was born a twin weighing 2 lbs, 3 oz. and given less than an hour to live. Oh, that’s too far back!

I will backtrack five years to the point in my life where I had my gall bladder removed and four months later, my thyroid. At 47, I felt like I was OLD and spent much of the next year trying to figure out how to change my life. Fortunately, I found Dr. Dan and YFCC. Almost immediately, my migraine headaches stopped and other various ailments gradually disappeared. I never missed my adjustments and did my exercises, but something was still missing. When I signed up for my first Extreme Makeover, I realized what it was. It was time to take control of my life even more and learn all I could. That’s why I keep attending these events; so that I can educate myself to live a longer life than my parents – Mom died at 71 and Dad, 11 months later, at 70 years old. I also don’t want to end up in an Assisted Living Facility like my twin brother or take medications like my sister. Attending these Extreme Makeovers are my lifeline.

This particular EMO has been the most enjoyable, and when you participate and have fun, you retain more of the life-saving information that’s given out each week. At the beginning of the EMO, I weighed in at 174 pounds, which was bad enough, but the real shocker was my body fat percentage. I was 43.8% FAT and my BMI showed I was obese. This was totally not acceptable. It’s amazing how your eyes get opened when you see the numbers on paper. How did I let myself get like this again? I knew I had to put in the time to really do it right, and permanently this time. I took advantage of the special pricing afforded the members of the EMO and joined Lifestyle Family Fitness. My main purpose was for resistance/weight training. I knew I had the cardiovascular exercise covered since I walk, run, and ride my bike. I’ve been averaging at least 48 miles per week with my bike group and participate in the YFCC Run/Walk Club on Saturday mornings. The weight training has been challenging, but I’m seeing results already. According to the Tanita measurements, I’ve reduced my body fat and plan to keep going with this program until I get down to where I need to be. I still have a long way to go, but with Dr. Dan’s support, I know it will happen one day.

Five years ago, even three years ago, I never would have believed that I’d complete three 5k’s, a 10k, a 15k, a half-marathon, and the Disney marathon or that I’d be riding my bike and preparing to ride a 38 mile road race at the end of March; or that I would’ve had the confidence to actually climb the Rock Wall on a cruise ship. In my old life, I would’ve just stood aside and watched others doing it. I actually can’t believe how my life has changed, even now. It’s even better since I’ve met some good friends who share the same goals with me. Participating in the Extreme Makeovers has changed my life forever. Because of all I’ve learned about proper nutrition, I’ll never view food the same way again. I try to educate others around me as I see them put 7 sugars in their coffee or eating Mickey-D’s for breakfast each morning. They don’t listen, but it doesn’t stop me from trying to share all I’ve learned whenever an opportunity arises. And sometimes, they do listen.

Label reading, proper supplementation, and using green cleaning/personal care products will always be a part of my life. Maybe ignorance was bliss, because I can never go back to the way I was. This is my journey from here on out. After 52 years, I’m finally happy with my life and plan on being around for another 50 years, utilizing all I’ve learned at Extreme Makeovers and getting my all-important, life-saving adjustments. Thanks for changing my life forever. NO LIMITS! Carol Copeland

My journey to HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS:
     Health has always been a passion of mine.  When I was in my twenties, I spent a lot of time in a nursing home with my dad, and at that time decided I never wanted to end up like that. So, my quest for health has always been of great importance to me. 
     I must say it has never been quite as intense as now through the Extreme Makeover.  I am so amazed to continually learn more and more.  Just when I thought I knew it all.  I am being forced to go another couple of levels higher to greater health with just enough support to motivate me further. As I think back, this is something I’ve only dreamed of having. To have the knowledge of Dr. Dan and the support of the whole team, I am in awe. I am so thankful. This isn’t to say this has not been quite the challenge. Unless your back is against the wall, you really don’t step up to the plate.  My journey here has been quite difficult at times.  There have been times when I really wanted some chocolate and sugar, times while going through the Detoxification and wanting to break; however, I just stayed focused on the results because I know there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 
     As hard as I have tried on my own for good health, without the knowledge I am receiving, I could not have achieved it alone. I didn’t realize the need for cleansing at a cellular level. I have worked with chemicals all my life and I so much enjoy the activities in my life and plan to continue them all until I’m way into my nineties. So, in my opinion, there is no other choice, but to work hard through it all, because I win the prize in the end. The prize is good health. You can have all the money in the world and if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.
     Good health enables you to do the things you’ve dreamed of doing.  It gives you a quality of life that is incomparable to anything else. It allows you freedom, which can speak volumes; freedom to be the helper, rather than the one being helped; freedom not only physically, but mentally and emotionally, too.  Good health to me is the way God intended it to be. It sets an example for others. It encourages others, and gives hope to them. It’s stepping out and being different from others. I’ve always said yes, I am over the top with my health and nutritious way, but I win in the end.
     I am truly thankful for our very giving Dr. Dan.  He is definitely over the top, too.  It’s good to know there are others wanting and desiring the same goal. Thank you Dr. Dan and thank you staff. You all work together as a great team.

Dear Doctor Dan,
     I was brought by my wife Nancy to a community dinner.  To be honest with you, I really didn’t want to come.  I fought with her every step of the way.  I was mad when I got there and told her there was no way I could be helped.  I had tried everything and all they did was hurt me even more, so I thought this was also a waste of my time and hers.  As I sat through the meeting and I saw how Dr. Dan was so passionate and his heart was into what he was saying, I figured I would give him a chance.  I was not sure I could be helped and I was tired of being hurt and didn’t want to go through it all over again. I thought I was going to live with the pain the rest of my life.  But I was wrong and my new life was just beginning.
     The reason I participated in the EXTREME MAKEOVER was because of Nancy and I guess there was hope that some of my pain would be relieved. I just wanted to feel better and be able to live life without pain and be able to do what I wanted to do without hurting.  I wanted my life back.
     As far as achieving my goal, I have gone further than I ever expected.  I cannot believe the changes in my body, my mind, my heart, and my soul.  I have surpassed every goal I set for myself.  I have lost weight, my headraces are gone, my eyesight is much better, and I can walk without pain in my legs, back and neck. I feel like I’m twenty-nine again.  I can run again without being out of breath due to my old weight. I have more energy than I have ever had before. I need half the sleep than before. My joints feel so much better.  I have lost 70 pounds. I am down to a 34 waist from a 44 waist. I’m happier. I have a better marriage. My quality of life is awesome.  I have a new outlook on life thanks to Dr. Dan!
     Dr. Dan and staff: I could never begin to thank you for all your support and help. Dr. Dan, you have totally changed my life – and all for the better.  I am not a miserable person anymore because of my pain. You have taken it from me and I will never be able to thank you or show you enough how I feel about you. You have changed my life and I will never forget that as long as I live. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us and I hope to learn more.
     Before meeting Dr. Dan, I was injured on a job. There was a toolbox dropped on my head and it weighed 75 lbs. It decompressed my spine and ruptured four disks in my neck and two in my upper back and two in my lower. It was very painful and I was on meds. for four months, but didn’t like how they made me feel. I could hardly pick up anything over 8 pounds. The MD told me I would need my neck operated on and I refused.  Then they said I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. They were totally wrong thanks to Dr. Dan.
     Dr. Dan, you have changed my life and have given me new hope and a better way of life and I could never repay you for what you have done. You are a very caring man to give so much of your time to help others. God has given you a special talent and I so glad He has. You have added so much joy and love into our life. It will remain with us the rest of our lives and close to our hearts.
THANKS AGAIN DOCTOR AND ALL OF YOUR STAFF & GOD BLESS
Edward T. Allen
