Dear Dr Shawn:
We wanted to send a thank you note for all you've done for our family.
The detox program has been a life-change & we're thankful to God for bringing you into our lives.
Originally, it was because of our 9-year-old son, Andrew, that we were
brought to you. My son has had a problem with indigestion for years - no
doctor had been able to diagnosis why a little boy would be burping
continuously [literally every few seconds] throughout the entire day.
When we heard from our church friends that they had brought their little
boy to see you & it had made an improvement with him, we were eager to
start.
We've only lived in Oklahoma about a year & a half - but it's been an
eventful year. My wife's mom had a stroke in May of 2004 and we moved
here from Washington in July to be close to her, leaving our family,
friends, job, and church. 2 months later we found out my father had died
unexpectedly back in Washington. Dealing with the stress of trying to run his business & deal with his affairs, as well as the overwhelming grief of losing him, we consoled ourselves by eating unhealthily (which is easy to do in OKC, as there's a buffet on every corner). About 6 months later a man who was like a surrogate father to Sabrena & I died from heart disease. We had been at his side for a week with his wife, fighting an intense, emotional
roller-coaster. Finally, last summer my wife's mom went home after a
year of suffering. You add that incredible stress to the intensity of
moving to a new state, starting a new job, buying a new house [which
included an undisclosed roof leak & mold problems], finding new friends,
etc. etc., our bodies had taken a physical & emotional beating.
The first thing that surprised us was the detail of your scan. We've
taken herbal supplements for years and when our health began deteriorating
we would ask people familiar with the supplements what was going wrong
and we would hear the standard answer, "Just think how bad your health
would be if you DIDN'T take them. Just take more." Somehow that wasn't
very encouraging. We were surprised to find that our cells were so messed up the supplements were going right through us!
The scan immediately diagnosed our son as being lactose-intolerant,
which was "traumatic" for him since his favorite foods are pizza, ice cream, mac & cheese, & grilled cheese sandwiches! But we've found some awesome
substitutes and after a couple of months of de-toxing his burps have all
but disappeared!! We've cut out almost all fast-foods, and we've been shocked at the difference it's made. He used to have a little boy belly and that's
almost completely disappeared - and we've seen a remarkable improvement
in his overall energy level. Now, instead of just sitting in front of the
Game Cube all day he's anxious to go outside and run-around!
I didn't go into this as a weight-loss program so I don't know what my
original weight was [mostly because I was somewhat ashamed that I'd
gained so much], but I believe I've lost around 20 pounds. Sabrena has been very excited about losing about 15 pounds & 4 pant sizes! She's broken-through a weight-level that had been a roadblock since we first got married 11 years ago. Whether it was stress, age, or childbirth she just couldn't break-through – until now!! Since then our metabolism has improved noticeably. As an example, we went on a cruise right after de-toxing [which we should have done before!!], & gained back only 2 pounds, which we quickly lost! Since our systems are "clean," eating "junk" just doesn't satisfy us anymore – and we can both notice a difference in the way our bodies respond to it.
I used to assume things that turned out to be false concerning my health. For example, I used to drink about a gallon of water a day. So I was shocked to learn
that the scan diagnosed me as dehydrated. I couldn't figure out why when I drank so much! I'm thankful you taught me to sip instead of gulp ½ gallon at a time. [My wife had been trying to tell me that for years but I didn't listen.] Now I can tell the water is making a difference in my system.
Sabrena has always looked young to me, but I can tell her skin is softer and more vibrant than ever! Almost a day doesn't go by without someone telling how good she looks.
I was also impressed that you were willing to adjust our programs to whatever
our bodies were going through. For example, I found myself lacking in energy near the end of the detox, which I wasn't expecting. When I told you how I was doing I was expecting another "Just think how bad you would feel if you hadn't de-toxed." Instead you listened and made simple recommendations that have tremendously improved my energy level!
Finally, I've noticed my mood has changed dramatically - I don't feel like I'm always riding a roller-coaster. I'm so much more at peace and relaxed - which I haven't felt for a long time.
We're very thankful to the people and Pastors of our Church, Church of the Harvest, for stepping out in faith and introducing us to you. We're also thankful this wasn't just a weight-loss program. We did lose weight but it's so much more than that! This is a radical life-change – not just a 21-day program.
Thank you, Dr Shawn!
