Asa Andrew visits # 2 and # 3

Hi Everyone,
Here's a quick update. I'm very happy with the treatment I'm getting from Dr. Andrew. On visit #2 I met with the health coach who went over my x-rays. I do have inflammation in both my large and small intestines. My jaw was misaligned to the left, and the curvature in my neck is still not where it should be. I have a disc in my lower back that is showing a little bit of degeneration and my left hip is higher than my right, which could be causing some of my knee problems. She also took one look at my skin and said that the little white spots I have are a yeast infection. I was previously told by a dermatologist that these were acne scars, which I knew wasn't right b/c I've never had that much acne. This should clear with the detox. She also said to get Xyclear (xylitol based nosedrops) since I'm prone to cold sores in my nose. It has been working great so far.

They then sent me to St. Thomas to get my blood work and urinalysis. I'm awaiting those results.

Visit #3: They started me out by jumping on a rebounder for 7 minutes. Thank goodness for Jazzercise or this would have been tough. I had a nice view of the greenery outside and my husband to keep me company. Then came the detox footbath. Considering it was my first time doing this, A LOT of heavy metals come out. It's probably leftover from the root canal teeth I had. There was also evidence of my kidneys, gallbladder, and liver detoxing. I did notice that during the footbath I was having some pain in my midriff that would come and go and also pains in my feet that would come and go.

I saw Dr. Andrew again and he performed a very gentle chiropractic treatment on my back and neck. He also massaged my liver and, being very ticklish, it was pure torture. I thought I was going to jump off the table! Of course, my husband was enjoying this immensely. Dr. Andrew put me on his Basic 4 supplements he puts everyone on, which are enzymes, probiotics, cod liver oil, and a multibalance. He also prescribed Adaptogen for stress. I bought all of this through his clinic. As another poster said, most of my $$ from this visit went to the supplements.

My husband is following the "diet" with me for the 8 weeks. It has a lot more food choices than Mercola's plan did for me. I still can't have dairy, bananas, oats or breads, but I have been living w/out those items for so long that it doesn't matter that much to me. I am feeling great today.

As stated before, my overall experience at Dr. Andrew's clinic has been positive. There are long wait times so take a book if you decide to go. Someone mentioned they take in a list of questions for him. This seems to work well for me also.

I hope this information will help all those who are trying to decide whether to go see him or not. So far, I would recommend him. To everyone who has left me their email address and/or phone numbers. I have not published your posts b/c I wasn't sure if you wanted your personal info out there for all to see. I am extremely busy right now, but I will try to contact you as time permits. Thank you for your patience. :)
