I was struggling with adrenal dysfunction  [Chronic Fatigue Syndrome] which included symptoms of varying degrees but the most debilitating was chronic insomnia. I averaged 3-4 hours of sleep a night and suffered intense sleep deprivation along with terrible headaches. I gained weight and became depressed. I had to take a leave of absence from my job which affected my well being further as well as my financial situation.
Because of the gift of dear friends, I was able to go to the Emerald Valley Wellness Center. I was not optimistic as I had tried many things and seen many doctors and had tried many prescribed drugs. Plus, I was sure I would not embrace the nutrition program.
However, what I found was a program that would change my life forever. Dr. Hansen and his wife Kay were a wealth of information and encouragement. They educated me, gave me guidance and spiritually and physically restored my hope. I am happy to say the nutrition program was new and delicious to me. I am continuing this program because it gave me control over my appetite and supports a healthy lifestyle. For the first time in my life I feel good about what I am putting in my body and I am losing weight with little effort. While I was there I met people from all over the U.S., both staff and patients. I cannot tell you how special everyone was and the incredible support offered up by all. I will never forget them and how much they deeply touched my heart.
It has been two months sense I have been home. I am now sleeping 6-7 hours a night on a consistent basis. I am feeling and looking more myself everyday. It is not going to be an overnight journey but I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and for me this is a miracle. And the icing on the cake, while I was at the Wellness Center, my cholesterol dropped fifty points in ten days! I thank God for this experience and for the compassionate ministry of Dr. and Kay Hansen and the staff of the Emerald Valley Wellness Center. - Cyndi B. |
