For approximately a year before consulting with Dr. Fuhrman our daughter Caitlin suffered from progressive fatigue, onset of acne, and chronic stomach upset which caused numerous absences from school. This was troubling. Caitlin was an honor student who had always done well in school. After seeing several doctors with no diagnosis, Caitlin became exceedingly frustrated and asked us to enroll her in counseling for stress management. We agreed to begin counseling as a family. In time Caitlin’s symptoms worsened. She underwent endoscopy which revealed the presence of ulcers. When we returned to the doctor’s office six weeks later the pathology report revealed an alarmingly high presence of the antibodies which fight bacterially based ulcers. According to the doctor, Caitlin probably had the bacteria in her stomach for more than a year! He immediately prescribed a course of four antibiotics to be taken simultaneously, which destroyed her digestive system.

We asked our counselor to recommend a physician who practiced nutritional medicine. He recommended Dr. Fuhrman who immediately put Caitlin on a cleansing vegan diet, with no medication of any kind. Over the first two months as her digestive system healed, Caitlin regained energy and her skin cleared. No more stomach upset. No more acne. No more fatigue.

It was such a relief for us to have that concern lifted from our shoulders. Caitlin was healthy in body and spirit and she was discharged from counseling. Caitlin graduated from high school with honors, receiving a presidential scholarship to pursue her college education this fall. As a result of Caitlin’s success, her older sister has also incorporated many of Dr. Fuhrman’s nutritional guidelines into her diet while away at college.

With many health benefits, as a family, we have changed our approach to nutrition forever.

We are so grateful to Dr. Fuhrman and his devotion to nutritional medicine. We can’t imagine where we would be if we hadn’t heard about his amazing approach to balanced nutrition.
