What Our Clients Are Saying
In the spring of 2012 we started noticing symptoms of depression in my son and sought psychiatric care to address the issue. As the months passed, and continued visits to the psychiatrist, his symptoms progressively got worse to the point where my son was feeling "hopeless." He was a very talented bassoon player and had a good shot of going to State this year, but he was too depressed to try out for Region band. His private teacher cried when he didn't try out. By spring of 2013, my son was now on four drugs for his depression and doing worse than ever. He was too depressed to go to his Senior Prom. He ended up in the school counselor's office once or twice a week in tears expressing his desires to kill himself. He ended up spending a weekend in May at the State Hospital's Crisis Center. He missed over 30 days of school and couldn't get out of bed the last month of school. He was not able to attend his high school graduation and we, as parents, missed out on seeing him "walk the stage." The only reason he graduated was because he had been an A with occasional B student and his teachers went the extra mile to see that he graduated. My son was a National Honor Society student. He received a scholarship for theater from Stephen F. Austin, but at new student orientation, he totally broke down. He was not able to follow his dreams of attending Stephen F. Austin this August. He lost much....We consider ourselves blessed that God put Dr. Blanchard in our path. He is one of those rare doctors that "think outside of the box" and discovered the high levels of chromium [in my son's body]. He immediately began a metal detox and a program to support the health of my son's body. Eventually, he found the source of the chromium after several months of detox, which was the permanent retainer. The first visit to Dr. Blanchard after the retainer was taken out was amazing. There was a definite drop in the chromium levels. My son is now drug free and doing so much better. Without Dr. Blanchard, my son would either be dead or in a residential facility. – HR
Before coming to Dr. Blanchard I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis and hypothyroidism and was told I would be on prescription meds indefinitely. I felt exhausted no matter how much sleep I got, was moody and irritable, was unable to focus, and had a foggy mind all the time. Not to mention all the side effects of the meds. After starting my program with Dr. Blanchard, my body has been able to heal itself as it should. I am off all prescriptions, have energy like my kids and my mind is sharper than ever. I am focused and able to easily accomplish daily tasks that seemed overwhelming before. I've never felt better in my life and am so thankful for Dr. Blanchard and Sandi for all they do to help restore health and build a healthy lifestyle. – CB
I had been tested and diagnosed with hypothyroid. I was tired all the time, had swollen ankles all my life that doctors always ignored and extreme dry throat. I was just living with it because I always had and just assumed it’s just how it was going to be. I was at a loss at what to do about it. After seeing Dr. Blanchard, I have none of the symptoms I came in with in such a very short time. I’m so glad that I came in thinking I was going to be treated for my thyroid disease which I actually didn’t even have. I have energy that I never dreamed I would ever have again. – PS
Having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2004, I was placed on medications which seemed to do nothing more than prevent this condition from getting any worse. I was also taking other medications. I discontinued all medications in January 2012 by going on a stricter diet and exercise program because I was 60 pounds overweight as well. During the past 2 years I have been experiencing bladder problems, which necessitated the use of “Depends” underwear. I experienced headaches as well as pains in other parts of my body which seem to come and go. After seeing Dr. Blanchard, the diabetes, as a result of daily blood tests, is much more under control. Due to eating more sensibly, I have gradually lost 50 pounds, and am near my weight goal. The incontinence condition, as well as my over-all physical, mental and spiritual health is greatly improved. Now the natural harmony in the functions of the organs of my body are back on track with the elimination of the blocking and switching condition which contributed much to the over-all problem. I have real reason in seeing a completely recovery as I continue in a healthier lifestyle. I have valid reason to be thankful for Dr. Blanchard and the natural healthcare program. – AL
[Before coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I was very tired all the time. My back hurt which I thought was due to scoliosis. My shoulder was causing me a lot of pain also. I had problems with seasonal allergies. [Since coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I have much more energy and feel more enthusiastic about my life and work. My back pain is gone!! Hard to believe my shoulder pain is gone!! No more allergy symptoms!! - AU
Before I came to see Dr. Blanchard, I was having serious pain in both thumbs due to arthritis. I felt sluggish, and had erratic rises and falls in my energy levels. I seldom slept two nights in a row. I was about 40 pounds overweight and had a bad self-image. My hair was brittle and my skin so dry that it was painful. I thought all of these symptoms were ones I would just have to accept as part of the aging process, but they were seriously impairing my enjoyment of retirement. Now that I’ve been seeing Dr. Blanchard, I feel so proud of my health. By following his nutritional plan, I have turned my life around. The best gift for me is that I sleep so well and awake refreshed. The pain in my thumbs has all but disappeared. My energy levels stay at a constant and I have lost about 30 pounds. My hair is shiny and healthy and my skin feels smooth and supple to the touch. I am proud of my new body image, but most of all I am proud and pleased to have found a way to stay at my healthiest throughout every stage of my life. He is a true blessing and has made this journey not only fruitful but also pleasurable. – KV
Well, I’m 24 and thought I was the picture of health. I exercise very regularly and live a relatively low-stress lifestyle, however, I realized that headaches, fatigue, frustration, lack of concentration, and indigestion were occurring much more frequently than I perceived. I would lose hours of thoughtful productivity because I was fighting to stay awake. I couldn’t wait for the weekend just to vegetate and sleep in. The people in my life were perplexed at how sensitive I was to rich meals and how easily they could affect my disposition. [Since being on Dr. Blanchard’s nutritional improvement program] now, I have immense levels of energy. I wake up before my alarm and feel very rested. If I miss a good night of sleep it does not ruin me the next day. Overall I have a much more positive outlook on life. I have very little fatigue and really no more issues with migraine headaches. My concentration has improved tremendously. All-in-all I feel like I’m back to being a 24 year old! – BR
I was experiencing leg cramps that would wake me up in the middle of the night, hot flashes periodically thou-out the day, and I always felt sluggish. It was an awesome day if I could take a mid-day nap (but rarely happened)! [Since coming to see Dr. Blanchard,] I have not had one leg cramp, no longer have hot flashes, and I have so much energy. I am rarely tired in the middle of the day. I just feel all around better. I could (and do) tell everyone about my experience! – BC
I was very tired, fatigued and weak. I had no energy. It was difficult for me to sleep at night. I was also irritable and unable to concentrate. [Since coming to see Dr. Blanchard,] I feel much better. I sleep 7-8 hours per night. I have more energy and I’m able to focus and concentrate better. – KD
I had a lot of aches and pains all over my body, was very over weight, didn’t have a lot of energy, was starting to feel depressed again even though I’m on medication. Overall I didn’t have a very good attitude. I had bad morning sweats every day. [Since starting my program with Dr. Blanchard a little over a month ago,] I still have one leg pain which I’ve had for a long time, but all of the little aches and pains all over my body are gone. I’m still over weight, but loosing steadily small amounts at a time. I have more energy. I go all day without feeling like I hit a wall in the middle of the afternoon. I still have some short times of depression, but I’m but better and getting better. My attitude overall is getting better. I still have morning sweats occasionally, but nothing like before. - CN
[Before coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I had high cholesterol (258), high ratio (6.4 Cholesterol/HDL), blood pressure was 170/88, and I weighed around 207. I tried many diet programs, exercise programs and weight lifting programs. The results were limited, sporadic, and not very long lasting. I looked like an extra for the latest Walking Dead sci-fi movie plus my energy level was flat-line. [Since coming to see Dr. Blanchard,] I have been blessed by God to achieve the following test results: weight (162), cholesterol (184), cholesterol/HDL ratio (3.9), blood pressure: 128/66, energy level (fantastic). I exercise 30 minutes a day 6 days a week. As I approach a 2 year mark, I feel very good and very satisfied with my current health. I appreciate the concern and expertise that Dr. Blanchard and Sandi afford my health issues. I would recommend this program to anyone who is sincere about making a financial and personal commitment to improving their health. - EW
[Before coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I had asthma, COPD, was not extreme but I took the typical medications such as Advair and/or Albuterol inhalers. Advair was taken once per day to prevent shortness of breath and wheezing. [Now that I have been on a nutritional improvement program with Dr. Blanchard,] I am now almost normal. I may take Advair once per week and sometimes have gone longer. - JJ
I had been having some trouble sleeping during the night because of belching and stomach bloating. [When I started a health improvement program with Dr. Blanchard] I found out that I had a deficiency in my thyroid that I had no prior knowledge of. Our style of eating changed quite a bit because of following Dr. Blanchard’s stipulations. I noticed that I felt better after breakfast on the very first day. I have also been able to identify different foods that are causing me stomach problems. I am glad to report that I am sleeping much better now. A side benefit is that during the first 90 days, I was able to lose 15-20 pounds by following the diet he had laid out for me. One more thing: because of the concern, expertise and care that Dr. Blanchard recently gave to my husband, I still have a husband who is alive and healthful. - LW
I have always been overweight and that had impacted my self-confidence. [Since coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I’ve lost 30 pounds, and have learned good nutrition. I’ve migrated to organic vegetables and wholesome locally grown meat and eggs. I have lost the pains in my joints. I have more energy, have a better outlook on life and my husband tells me I’ve stopped my loud snoring! I had a bad burn and everyone was amazed at how fast it healed. I am amazed by not only how the weight dropped off, but how much better I feel overall! - DD
I am a recovering cancer patient. I’ve been through a decade of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, four surgeries, five years of chemotherapy, radiation, 2 bone marrow transplants, handfuls of bone marrow biopsies, and months of hospital stays. Most of all, I have been told I had a relapse in my disease five times and less chance of survival each time. I can’t remember the last time I had free time to live my own life, not to mention the foot high stack of medical bills. Well, to start, [since coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I feel better than I can ever remember. I look better than I ever have, and I have the complete confidence that my body is finally working for itself. I feel like I’ve jumped from a person with not very long to live to a men’s health article in just 90 days. Dr. Blanchard is really onto something here! I am so thankful I bought into the program and am more proud that I’m doing it. It takes complete discipline! I’m really happy I’ve had a chance to live and experience what our bodies really need. Nutrition Response Testing is a miracle all by itself! - LS
Before I came to see Dr. Blanchard I was always tired and felt as though I was always walking through a thick fog. Every few months my Epstein Bar would just ground me – by that meaning it made me completely crash – I had to sleep 14-20 hours for a couple of days just to try to feel as though I was not so sleepy. I was close to giving up hope of never being tired. After 4 months of being with Dr. Blanchard, I feel like a totally different person. I am no longer constantly tired, I have tons of energy and I finally feel alive! Dealing with Epstein Bar for 12 years, this feels like a totally new life! What a difference and I am so glad I have invested in this program. – AS
[Before coming to see Dr. Blanchard] I was experiencing high blood pressure, stressed out, eyes closed at night but not sleeping, overweight, tired, wore a size 1X clothes, bad attitude, agitated, and keloid scars. How is it now? Blood pressure is optimal, don’t feel stressed out, sleeping between 7-9 hours each night, weight is dropping off – feels like fat is melting away, wearing a size medium clothes, good attitude, not agitated, keloid scars seem smoother. - JW
This is a case of “I didn’t realize I felt so bad.” Due to an underlying health problem that makes for a convenient scapegoat, I always thought that I was feeling as well as I could. However, with Nutrition Response Testing and the discovery of a couple food allergies, I notice an amazing difference. It has been a slow and difficult process, but the improvements are worth it! My skin is clear, my digestion is much better, my energy level is up, and my “joie de vivre” is back! Thank you! - ES
I was fatigued, depressed, hurting all over (muscles, and back and feet), and overweight. I felt like I was dying. My emotions were high. I couldn’t deal with any stress. I had headaches, migraines that had started again. My work was very stressful and my two boys are getting married within 6 month’s time. I’m divorced seven years and still have to deal with him and a girlfriend and we’ve never talked so my stress was out of control. Now I have lost 26 lbs., I feel great! My muscles are only sore occasionally. I have more energy and I’m not depressed. My outlook on life is much better. I can deal with the issues at work and home much easier and with less depression. This program has saved my life. I’m feeling better emotionally, physically and spiritually. I thank God for my friend that led me to Dr. Blanchard and Sandi. - DA
