So the new plan with Heal N Cure actually made me sick.
I found out that all of the products I was on were at such high levels that they were toxic! As a result, I have developed Orthostatic Hypotension. That means when I stand up I feel like passing out.
I visited my family doctor this week and we had to do a medication and vitamin change. My blood sugars were out of control, and I was feeling weak and dizzy. I still am.
I am very angry about this and incredibly frustrated. I did this to try to become healthier, lose weight and to get rid of the Diabetes. I was commited, I did everything I was supposed to and it all made sense...for someone else.
So no more shakes, no more high potency probiotics, Vitamin D, Metformin, detox cleansers, medical food, proti-snacks and bars, etc. No more feeling like crap!
After all this time and all this effort, I got on the scale today and guess what? I'm back to where I started on October 27th - 199.5! Good Grief.
I feel like I've been on a roller coaster ride, round and round, upside down and right back where I started. The only thing is this time I got sick.
So, back to the basics. We're sticking with the Mediterranean - Asian Diet, exercise, less alcohol, more sleep, less stress, more laughter.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
I can't help thinking a certain amount of Vanity got in the way of my good judgement. I wanted so much to have an easy answer to get to "healthy" and "thin and beautiful" as quickly as possible. I guess that's why it's one of the 7 Deadly Sins.
God, please forgive me...and restore my health. Amen.

Hi Jill,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though Dr. Malhotra had you on the correct course. Your medication would have most likely had to be adjusted as your body composition was improving. This is expected, I am sure you were told that along with the weight loss and a diabetes prevention plan that in part the goal was to be able to reduce or possibly take you off your medications. I think there might be confusion as to the supplements making you sick. It would be much more likely that the medical food was improving your state of health and body composition for the better, and that your dizziness was most likely the result of your current dose of hypertension medication that needed to be lowered. In other words it was probably the excess medication that was making you feel sick. In continuing the program you most likely would have been able to continue reducing your medications and finally getting off of them. Conditions like dizziness need to be noted and addressed. Here are a couple of patients relating similar experiences, they were both on hypertension medication when they started the program.

Did you tell Dr. Malhotra how you were feeling? If you had, I am sure she would have reduced your medications ( that is the goal we strive for with every patient ) and you would not have continued to be dizzy. Many patients go through this phase, and we gradually reduce their medications so they can come off their medication as their body composition is improving. You can't reverse or cure diabetes and high blood pressure with medication, you can only maintain it at best. Heal n Cure has been quite successful in reversing chronic problems using Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes. Our quality of care and cost savings have been documented by Blue Cross Blue Shield. BCBS has awarded us the coveted Blue Tier (Top Tier) Status. These BCBS reports with actual dollar saving amounts in the tens of thousands of dollars can be viewed here.

I don't know any Physician who wants to sell medical meal replacement shakes or supplements because, it is very time consuming and laborsome to incorporate supplements into a treatment plan. We take pride in coaching patients about wellness, and spending the time we do on how to improve their lifestyle. The fact is that for treating and reversing chronic disease, the medical foods are very time saving and cost effective tool. Realizing that there are countless brands of fish oils and supplements on the market, we cannot possibly check them all for quality and proper ratios. Therefore we offer a very high level and safe brand through our office. We also are more than willing to have the patient bring in their own supplements for assessment. Many of the store bought brands have been ineffective in treating respective conditions.
Countless patients have been on our Life Style Change program (TLC) and have had great success. I never have I heard of a patient becoming toxic on these wonderful tools when used correctly. We enjoy our patient's smiles and strongly believe that you too were on the road to success.
Wishing you great health and happiness in the future.
