Severe Kidney problems, migraines and general poor health:

When I first came in for chiropracti care in January 1998, I was suffering from severe kidney problems, migraines and was in general poor health. It started in 1989.  My medical doctor otle me that I had less than a year to live due to chronic kidney failure, which manifested itself more rapidley than they could keep up with.  I was hospitalized several times and put back on the strongest medicines to fight the ongoing infections due to my kidneys.  I am 5'4", my average weight was 125-128 pounds at that time. In less than six months time, I weighed only 92 pounds and was still losing.  I refused to consider dialysis or surgery. So for many years I battled with this by all health methods known to me in order to gain strength and weight.

I did level out physicall, meaning I only would end up in emergency 2-3 times a year.  I worked very hard at my nutrition, stress level and overall health.  I was forced to sell my business and quit working in 1990 and just concentrate on living.

When the chiropractor first showed me the kideny area supplied by my nervous system and the chiropractic approach.  I thought at best it was ridiculous!  But my sister insisted I give it a try, at least for my migraines and physical injuries suffered in prior accidents.  So, I did.

Not only is there relief from some of the "permanent" damage I had sustained to my body over the years, but my migraines of 30 years are now manageable.  To this date, my tests show that my kidneys are doing great and so am I.  In the past six months, I have updated kidney scans and tests of all kinds with not one kidney related problem.  My M.D. reported that, as of this time, my kidneys are working exactly the way they should.  Yet, he cannot figure out why the change.

I wonder aobut my M.D.  However, he is still in shock, but he will recover! 

Thanks so much for chiropractic.
