Dear Maile Pouls,
The changes I have seen in my 3 ½ year-old son since starting your enzyme recommendations have been incredible. After two weeks of supplementation, my son began talking, he suddenly potty-trained himself, and his tantrums have all but ceased at this time. Confronting autism has been the most hopeless and despairing situation I have ever encountered. Now I have hope, and I have great joy, for my son has just spoken his first sentence, "Look at Me!"

Thank You

Dear Dr. Pouls,

I am writing to say, how grateful I am that you came into my life. My daughter Hayley is a seven year old, special needs child. When she was five and a half, she was not eating, and was almost off the weight chart. She was sick most of the time and had no speech. Almost immediately, after receiving enzyme therapy, her appetite kicked in and she began gaining weight rapidly. She is taking supplements to strengthen her immune system and now she rarely gets ill.

Hayley's urinalysis showed her system to be extremely toxic, containing a lot of undigested food. It is now a scientific fact, that undigested protein in the body, converts and is very toxic to the brain, actually hindering neurological connections from being made. By continuing to be on enzyme therapy, which ensured proper assimilation of her food, the progression of undigested foods into her body has been halted. Hayley was last tested June 2nd, and her system is now perfect. The truly amazing part of her story, is that she is now verbal, attending school and doing age appropriate academic assignments.

Haley continues to make rapid progress in her development, and I have no doubt that she will go on to be a perfectly normal child and successful adult.

Sincerely Yours,

V.G.

Subject: testimonial- Thursday, April 6, 2000

My son Max is an adorable, seven year old with a disability called "Dyspraxia", which is an inability to coordinate motor functions. The messages that his body gets from his brain are not properly transmitted. Max's most noticeable problem is his speech (very few understandable words, until just recently). He has had problems focusing in school, therefore has shown little interest in pre-writing tasks such as coloring, tracing, etc. He has two wonderful therapists that have been working with him for the last couple years on his speech and occupational needs. He also has a full-time aide in the classroom that works with him on behavior and social skills. Making friends has been very difficult for Max, because of his lack of communication, and behavior problems that have manifested from this.

I first heard about Dr. Maile Pouls' nutrition program from a mother of twins that are the same age as Max, and have the same disability. They had been on the program of enzymes and supplements for five months, with remarkable results. Max's first lab test showed us that he was deficient in all of his nutrients. He had severe bowel toxicity, poor assimilation and digestion. He was actually losing muscle tissue, due to his body's inability to assimilate the proteins and fats correctly. Here we were doing everything possible to build muscle, and develop the brain with various therapies, and they were being malnourished. Max started on the enzymes, and supplements right away. We also made some changes in his diet recommended by Maile. After just three weeks his therapists, teacher, and neighbors were telling me that he's like a new kid! They could not get over how much more alert, calm, and cooperative he was.

Over the next two months we have seen many more improvements, especially in his classroom involvement. He is much more focused on his work, participates in circle time activities, is trying his best to sing in Music, and has taken on a new interest in drawing and writing!!! Max totally surprised his occupational therapist and I, by drawing people with all the details, emotions, etc. (he would be doing good to draw just a circle 3 months ago.) He is now choosing to do pencil, and paperwork. The very best part of all, however, is that Max has just started to call his classmates by their names, and has added "you play with me?" He is getting a great response from the kids-they're playing with him! This means more to Max and I than everything else all put together. Max's most recent lab test (3 months after starting) shows that many of the issues he had before are at a normal level now, and everything is much improved.

I can't thank Maile enough for all the research she has done, to help my son and so many others with getting to the optimum health, and preventing the diseases and problems that eventually occur when these issues are overlooked. I praise the Lord for revealing the needs of my son's life to me, and leading us to the people who can make a difference!!

Sincerely,
P.K.

Update on Max's progress:
Max has started to show even more of an interest in the academics going on in the classroom. He went up to the chalkboard, on his own, and started to draw and write with another child. He is showing a new interest in using the computer. This is something that wouldn't hold his attention very long previously, because of his lack of hand-eye coordination. The other night he just went over to the computer, and started clicking on the places he wanted to go. He then called me over, to come help him. His vocabulary, and sentence structure also continue to increase.

I am the mother of 11 year-old twin daughters. One is very thin and eats huge amounts of food but is constantly hungry. The other is a little overweight, doesn't eat much and holds all her weight in her tummy, back and face. They are both constantly tired. They never want to go outside and ride their bikes or play with their friends. On the weekends they would sleep in till noon and then stay in bed and watch movies the rest of the day. When they would walk home from school they would be so exhausted when they got home that they would put on their P.J.'s and climb in bed, often falling asleep 2-3 hours. They both struggled with homework, finding it hard to stay focused. They were missing a lot of school due to stomachaches and nausea. They had constant gassy stomachs that would give them so much pain that they would have to lay down. My daughter who is overweight has always seemed a little depressed. She's very self conscious about her weight and she's terrified to go anywhere new or to do anything she's never done before. She's nervous in big groups of people as well as big places like the mall, movie theater or restaurants. I was getting so frustrated with their constant sickness and lack of energy. I took them to our family doctor who suggested giving them an antibiotic because they probably just had a virus. I broke down and gave them the antibiotic- they only got worse.

I was talking with two mothers who's children I work with, who told me about Dr. Pouls and the enzyme therapy treatment she had put their children on. I was so impressed with the results they were having. I called Dr. Pouls up and started them on the program. After hearing the results of their urinalysis I was shocked. It all made so much sense. My daughter who was very thin was not absorbing any calories or nutrients from her food. The other daughter was not able to digest fats and carbohydrates. She was burning muscle instead of fat. Their systems were both very toxic and the Vitamin C levels were off the chart [deficient]. That's why they were sick all the time.

They have been on the program for four weeks now. They haven't been sick once since they started. The gassy stomachs and stomachaches have been completely relieved. My skinny daughter is now eating normal meals and satisfied. The other daughter has lost 3 inches around her waist and lost 10 pounds. She's happy and energetic. The T.V. has been off and they have both been outside riding bikes, surfing and playing like normal kids. My daughter who was afraid to go places asked if she could go to a water park with just her sister and cousin. I was shocked. She went and had a great time. Their lives have been completely turned around and I am so grateful for the gift that Dr. Pouls has given them. Every child deserves to be healthy and energetic and to get the most out of their childhood. Thanks so much Dr. Pouls.

To Maile Pouls,
I want to thank you for your efforts in helping Debra with her depression and headaches. I feel that she is no longer depressed. Her headaches are 50% gone. The headaches now are shorter and milder, 1-2 per week instead of an extreme/everyday complaint. This will be the first time since we've been married (10 years) that she has the "Christmas Spirit". What you've done is greatly appreciated and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
Thanks

To those people who are suffering from many of my health problems and don't know where to turn,
When I began working with Dr. Maile Pouls in August of 1998, I had very low energy and was tired alot of the time. I was nervous, irritable, depressed, and experienced serious black moods near my period. I had extreme bouts of diarrhea, bloating, gas, and poor digestion. My memory was very bad, and I had many headaches and insomnia. I also experienced a lot of food and air-borne allergies, swollen eyes, backaches, and many nights I had restless legs. After only about two months of taking the nutritional products she provided to me, and following some suggested dietary changes, my energy has extremely improved, and I no longer feel tired. 'I have not felt as good in years.' I also feel truly happy and in balance. The nervousness and irritability is greatly improved and I have no more depression or black moods. The diarrhea, bloating, gas, and poor digestion has also improved substantially especially when I follow the recommended diet. My memory has improved and the headaches and insomnia have definitely decreased. I have also noticed a major decrease in my food and air-borne allergies, the swollen eyes and the restless legs. I have no more backache.
Overall I no longer feel tired and worn out and the fogginess in my head is gone. I am so thrilled experiencing this huge difference in my health and I thank you so much Dr. Pouls for all your help.

I have become Dr. Maile Pouls patient and have been working with her for approximately two months.

I have experienced some excellent changes and improvements in this short period of time. Before I began her protocol I would become sick or exhausted for extended periods of time every time I would begin exercising. I had always had sinus and chest allergy problems ever since I could remember and had been taking 1 tablet of Claritin every day for the symptoms. I also had depression and have been on Prozac 10 mg every day. I have had stomachaches regularly and nervousness. Heavy bleeding and menstrual cramps had to be controlled by taking birth control pills.
By following Dr. Pouls suggestions I have no more stomachaches, my energy has greatly improved and I can now exercise without getting run-down. My allergies have really improved and I have been able to decrease my Clariton to only 1 every third day. I have been able to stop my birth control pills and I have no menstrual cramps or heavy bleeding. I have also been able to cut my dose of Prozac in half because my depression is much less. I also feel much calmer and am so pleased with my results

To whom it may concern,

In your 18th issue of the Alternative Medicine Digest (May/June 97), I saw your article by Dr. Maile Pouls, and this was an answer to many of my prayers, and I wanted to share my story with you. When I first began working with her I had chronic migraines, nausea, constant stomach upset, food allergies, depression, environmental sensitivity, fatigue, no energy, extreme PMS and heavy uterine cramping.
I began noticing great improvements even in the first month of our
work together which continued to increase over the next two months. I now experience a huge increase in my over all energy and stamina, a big
decrease in my depression and my environmental sensitivities, and I have not had to take any drugs for headaches. All of my PMS symptoms are gone and I have had no menstral cramps. . Also, I have had no more nausea. I feel like a changed person and I have felt so much more out-going and happy. Thank you so much for running such a great article.

To your health,

Dear Alternative Medicine Digest,

After reading your article "Ask The Physician" by Dr. Maile Pouls in Issue 18 (May/June 97) I was pleased to be able to contact her and begin working with her long distance.

I feel so grateful to have found her and I wanted to thank you for your story and tell you about some of the wonderful changes that have happened in my health after working with her for only 2 months.

My female hormones were so out of balance that I had had no periods for two years. After 3 weeks on her protocol I had my first period. Not only that, I have gone from 96 pounds to 101 pounds. Things are definitely looking up! I am feeling stronger and seem to have so much more energy. I am also feeling that I am absorbing and digesting better. I have a decrease in my sugar cravings, a decrease in bloating, and I no longer need laxatives.

I feel my mental and emotional states have also improved. Overall, I really feel things are all gradually improving. I feel so grateful for everything she has done for me and I look forward to continuing working with her. I truly feel blessed that I have had this opportunity.
Sincerely,

Dear Alternative Medicine Digest,
I read Dr. Maile Pouls article, called "Digestive Problems", in Issue 18 (May/June 97) of your "Alternative Digest" magazine. I was able to begin working with her long distance approximately 3 weeks ago and I wanted to write and thank you for helping me find this alternative practitioner who has helped me so much with so many of my health issues. After only 10 days using her nutritional products I felt a major difference in my health.
I have been living on nervous energy for years with tremendous bouts of exhaustion, nervousness, poor sleep, and extreme sugar and food cravings. After 3 weeks, my energy has increased drastically, I have no more exhaustion, I feel much calmer with no inner tension, and I have been able to sleep well. I have no more sugar or food cravings, and I no longer feel the urge to nibble. I have finally been able to start losing weight.

To whom it may concern,

When I began working with Dr. Maile Pouls in September of 1997, I had chronic fatigue, tremendous edema and stomach upset. I weighed 310 lbs. and I had been diagnosed with congestive heart disease and was told I may need a total heart transplant.

Dr. Pouls put me on a restricted diet, sent me a rebound trampoline for exercise, and put me on a regime of enzymes and nutritional supplements. After four months of working with her I am alert, no longer tired and exhausted, no more stomach upsets, I have lost 50 lbs., and I can rebound trampoline for 1/2 hour per day. I have been told by the M.D.'s who have been monitoring my case that my recovery is miraculous--that I no longer need to consider having a heart transplant, that the edema is gone, and there are no longer any signs of congestive heart disease.

I believe that Dr. Pouls and her therapy played a major part in my recovery and in changing my eating, exercise and life style. I am very pleased with my results.

I am writing this testimonial to share my health experiences during the time that I worked with Dr. Maile Pouls. When I first started working with her I was having stomach problems, nausea, and sugar, salt, and coffee cravings. I was experiencing insomnia and a need for increased sleep. I had very low energy, I found that I healed very slow, my hair was falling out, and I had a lot of skin problems. During my periods I had a lot of pain, and I had a significant amount of PMS. I also had rectal bleeding. Overall, I had a negative outlook regarding my health and my life.

After approximately four months of following Dr. Maile Poul's
nutritional and diet program I had no more stomach problems or nausea, and no more sugar, salt, or coffee cravings. My insomnia had decreased, and I had a decrease need for sleep. My energy had really improved, and I healed much faster. My skin improved and my hair quite falling out. I had no more PMS and the pain with my periods decreased. I had no more rectal bleeding. Most of all, my attitude had changed and my outlook on life became much more positive.

I am a 34 year old man. At the age of eighteen, I was the 283rd person to receive a heart transplant at Stanford Hospital's Experimental Medicine & Heart Transplant Department, in 1983. I am the first heart transplant recipient in America to father a child. Since receiving the transplant, I have been required to have annual evaluations of my heart and cardiovascular systems at Stanford hospital, which include a heart tissue biopsy, angiogram die study to check the restriction or 'openness' of my heart's arteries, echocardiogram, EKG, treadmill stress tests, complete blood and body chemistry studies.
In the Fall of 1997, I was ordered to Stanford for my annual examination. I had noted that my general health and stamina levels were getting worse. The examination confirmed that my heart condition had worsened considerably, and my cardiologist recommended that I be placed on the list for another heart transplant if my condition got any worse.
In August, 1998, my cardiologist determined that my right coronary artery was 99% blocked and recommended a 'stent' procedure, which inserts a tube-like device into the artery to help keep it 'open' and allow increased blood flow to the heart muscle. For heart transplant patients there is no known success rates for this procedure. The procedure helped but I knew at this time that I must do more to improve my condition. I asked my cardiologists about taking nutritional supplements for my condition, and they responded, "It will probably not help you, but it will certainly not hurt you."
It was at this time (August 1998) that I consulted Dr. Maile Pouls, a clinical nutritionist, and it was recommended that I take the Oral Chelation and Longevity Plus formulas and make changes to my diet, which I did. I began thoroughly studying the educational materials provided by Dr. Pouls to gain a comfort level of switching to a nutrient-based health protocol, and to fully understand the science and logic to using such products. I started by taking the minimal amount, one capsule/caplet of each per day- to be certain I would not have any undesirable effects. I then increased the dosage to my present levels of 2 of each per day. Over time, as I increased my dosage I began to feel an improvement in my overall health and especially in my stamina levels. Compared to spring of 1998, I am now much more active in my business, home life, and activities of daily life.
On September 28-30, 1999, I returned to Stanford for another complete evaluation of my heart and cardiovascular system. This time, I was allowed to view a comparison study of the previous angiogram (1998) and was told by the doctor performing the angiogram that, "The right Coronary artery had 'opened up' considerably more than the previous study, and the stents looked as good as when they were inserted (a 20% breakdown of the stents would have been acceptable)", and the Research Cardiologist who has followed my case stated, "We are no longer considering you for another heart transplant, in fact, if you weren't a heart transplant patient- we would now have no concerns (regarding your heart) whatsoever."
I am very grateful to Dr. Maile Pouls for the time she has given me, and for all of the natural health and nutritional product information she provided to me that helped me overcome my fears of using such products. When I started in the Stanford Experimental Research Program, I was told that after receiving my new heart I would have to lead a low-stress, uncomplicated life. I responded that I wanted to be an accountant, drive fast cars, and father a child- all of which I was told I could not have, but I have since accomplished all three. I love my life, my work, and especially my family. I believe that my heart transplant gave me a 'new lease on life" and that Dr. Maile Pouls and her Oral Chelation and Longevity Plus formulas have extended that lease for me. I am living proof of how well her products can work.

To whom it may concern:

Over the past five years I have had three heart attacks and three angioplasties. In February of 1998, when I had my annual blood test, my cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, and my cholesterol/HDL ratio were all abnormal. Six months after this, I had my third heart attack on 8/22/98. My cardiologist now told me that due to the almost complete blockage of many of my heart's arteries, I would never be a candidate for a heart 'bypass' operation. After this third surgery, I was weak, and very concerned how rapidly my health was deteriorating. My cardiologist recommended that I consider diet and lifestyle changes.
It was at this point in my life that I decided to make some changes in my lifestyle and eating habits, and at the urging of my son and daughter-in-law, I underwent 20 intravenous chelation therapy treatments, and soon after began Dr. Maile Pouls' nutritional program. Since I started working with Dr. Pouls I have reduced my weight from 230 pounds to 205 pounds (a healthy weight for my body size). The cardiologist assigned by my HMO that performed my first two angioplasties, placed me on approximately ten different prescription drugs to control my symptoms of heart pain, diabetes, high cholesterol, high and low blood sugar, arthritis, and skin conditions- and told me "nutrition would not work for my advanced heart condition". While learning from Dr. Pouls, I realized that these drugs only 'treated' my symptoms and didn't address the numerous underlying nutrient deficiencies and weaknesses that she was able to measure in my body. At this time, I switched to a new, young cardiologist, who told me that even with the intravenous chelation that my heart was in bad shape. I was completely honest with him about my desire to get off as many drugs that treat symptoms and replace them with the proper nutrition to addresses the underlying causes of my health problems. To my delight, my cardiologist agreed. I presented to him the program Dr. Maile Pouls recommended and he began to modify my drug program. His only disagreement with me was regarding intravenous chelation, saying that it could possibly hurt me. Because of this, I chose to use the Oral Chelation products. As I slowly reduced the number of drugs I was taking, I discovered that many of the symptoms I was having were actually 'side-effects' of the drugs. I still continue to take small amounts of three drugs, and I monitor my blood sugar levels daily. For over ten months I have taken the Oral Chelation and Longevity formulas, CoenzymeQ10, Vitamin E complex, Cardio-Protector, Joint Renewal and Joint lubrication, and digestive enzymes. Dr. Pouls closely monitors my body chemistry and nutrition program, while my cardiologist closely monitors my blood panels and heart. I feel very lucky to have this 'team' approach to my health.
Presently, I am able to exercise regularly, and I play golf at least twice a week. My cardiologist was pleased to report to me that my current blood panel was completely normal- something I had never achieved in the past. Best of all, many of my symptoms have disappeared and I have my energy back! I feel as if I have regained control of my health. I have learned a lot about my health in the past year from Dr. Pouls, as nutrition, diet and lifestyle changes literally gave me my life back.

Over the past eight years I have been regularly examined and blood tests evaluated by the V.A. hospital in Monterey, Ca. My cholesterol, triglyserides, LDL, and HDL have always been in the abnormal ranges, and I have always shown to have a quite extreme heart murmur. About six months ago my Doctor told me that the murmur had gotten so severe that he said I should consider exploratory surgery, despite the major risk factors involved.. It was about three months later that I found out about the Oral Chelation and Longevity Plus formulas and began taking the supplements on a regular basis. After only about three months on the formulas I went back to my Doctor for a check up, and to his surprise he could not find any trace of a heart murmur. He immediately ran another blood test, and was again amazed and pleased to find that all of my blood tests were normal. Needless to say, I am truly thrilled with these major changes in my health and I am continuing to take the Oral Chelation and Longevity Plus formulas as part of my daily regime.

To whom this may concern,

When my 10-year life insurance policy expired I had to look for a new policy. To my surprise I found out that I could not qualify for the lower rate insurance policies because my blood lab tests showed that my cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and or cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, had either all or part been in the abnormal ranges during the past four years. The insurance policy rates I was quoted were two to three times higher because of these abnormal test results.
At the time my wife was under the care of Dr. Maile Pouls so I asked her what I could do to help correct this health condition. Dr. Pouls suggested the Oral Chelation and Longevity Plus formulas.
After being on these formulas for only two months every one of my readings went normal and I finally qualified for the normal, lower insurance rate. Both my family and I are so grateful for this and the terrific changes in my health.

I am writing this letter in hope of providing a testimonial for other people with similar health conditions as myself.

I am 27 years old, and for the past seven years my health has been going down hill. When I began working with Dr. Maile Pouls I had arthritis in my feet, fingers and low back, with increased pain and symptoms and swelling of the feet when ever I ate food that I am allergic to, (ex. dairy), or the night shade vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, bell pepper, eggplant, or mushrooms. I had extremely low energy, fatigue, poor circulation and cold hands and feet. I had lost a lot of weight and was not able to gain any. I was finding it harder and harder to walk and I had been looking at wheel chairs because the pain in my fingers and wrist was so bad that at times even a cane was too painful. Any time I would eat foods that my body would react to I could not walk or sleep because of the pain and would also experience very bad mood swings and depression.
After only two and a half months taking the nutritional supplements Dr. Pouls recommended I had no more pain, my energy was fantastic-- it felt like it had just sky-rocketed. I had gained 10 lbs, my circulation was good and I had no more cold hands and feet. I could eat all kinds of food. I am back at work with a whole group of new friends, now that I can get around and have energy. I actually feel as good as I did before I ever got my illness. I am so grateful for Dr. Pouls and her work.
I did not mention, that before I started working with Dr. Pouls, for three years I was flying out of state to see a naturopathic doctor and was spending over three thousand dollars a month for his supplements and his consultations. I can hardly believe that with only about one fourth the products I had been taking under his care, and in only this short time with Dr. Pouls I feel I am on the road to a complete and total recovery.

Best wishes for your health,

I am writing this letter to describe my major health concerns when I began working with Dr. Maile Pouls approximately three months ago, and also to share some of the major improvements I have experienced while on her nutritional supplement program. Over a year ago I got a urinary track infection (UTI) that has been chronic and persistent ever since. Every time I get off of the antibiotics a new infection would occur. My energy was really low. I was anxious and I felt exhausted and tired all of the time. My digestion was poor with chronic constipation. I had symptoms of arthritis and morning stiffness, and my eyes were streaming with water frequently.
After only about two months on Dr. Pouls nutritional supplement program I could hardly believe how I felt. I had no urinary track infections, my energy was good and I felt just fabulous. My digestion had improved and I had no more constipation. I had no symptoms of arthritis or pain, and I experienced no watery eyes. Overall, I am just feeling terrific and I am so pleased with my results since working with Dr. Pouls.

Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,

When I began working with Dr. Maile Pouls in July of 1998, I had very low energy, low blood pressure, and dizziness when getting out of bed or when lying down. I experienced low blood sugar and had to eat all through out the day between meals to counter act this, and I could not tolerate eating sugar. Around digestion I would have alot of gas and bloating, a bad taste in my mouth, and had a hard time keeping my weight down. I had alot of muscle cramps, and pain especially around the shoulders and neck, and poor muscle tone. I also experienced frequent heart palpitations, dry skin, and my nails were very ridged. In general, I just felt I was losing my health and did not feel good in my body.

After only 'two' months of taking the nutritional products she provided to me, and following some suggested diet changes, my energy was extremely improved, my blood pressure was completely normal, and I experience no more dizziness. I have no more low blood sugar and a much better tolerance to sugar. I also feel so much better with only three meals per day. I have almost no more gas and bloating, the bad taste in my mouth is gone, and my weight is down. There has been a major decrease in my muscle cramps, no more pain in my shoulders and neck, and my muscles are definitely firmer. I have experienced no more heart palpitations, my dry skin has decreased and my nails are less ridged. In general I am just so excited about getting my old healthy self back again.

Dr. Pouls,
Below is my testimonial. I included what I felt were important details for infertile couples: details on prognosis and steps taken to over come obstacles.

Our infertility roller-coaster ride began over 4 years ago when I was 35 and my husband was 39: After a year of "trying" unsuccessfully, we went to our HMO and had the 10 routine tests for infertility and it was discovered that I had a fibroid. Even after having it removed, a year later we were still not pregnant. We tried 4 rounds of Clomid w/Artificial Insemination -- no success. My FSH was 7, my Estrodial was 44, and I was considered in good health -- although I had developed allergies, was always emotionally and physically tired, and had insomnia. Our HMO fertility specialist diagnosed me as having "unexplained infertility". Our next option was HMG Injections w/insemination; if that didn't work IVF, etc. But, because of our limited funds and the lack of a "wholistic" approach at our HMO fertility clinic, we opted to try an alternative method: acupuncture along with counseling.

I met regularly with Dr. C. L-R, a fertility counselor. She referred me to Dr. J. B. T., an acupuncturist who specializes in infertility. Using the Chinese paradigm, I had a drastic diet change: organic whole foods and no dairy, sugars, wheat or "cold" food. After 4 months, my allergies improved, I lost 15 lbs, I could sleep again, and I was emotionally much healthier -- yet I still was not pregnant. My acupuncturist analyzed my Basal Body Temperature (BBT) at each of our sessions, she said it was too low, not stable, that my thyroid was not healthy -- even though I had a thyroid test done at my HMO with normal results. Using moxibustion, there was improvement with my BBT. My counselor suggested I also contact Dr. Maile Pouls, a nutritionist who has worked with infertile clients with thyroid problems.

According to Dr. Pouls, my 24-hour urinalysis indicated that I had adrenal stress (I was in a constant state of "fight or flight"). This had affected my fertility because adrenal glands contain 1/3 of the female hormones and also affected the thyroid, which explained my low BBT. Along with this, my liver was stressed, which affect my digestion. All this also affected my immune system and explained why I developed allergies and suffered from constant tiredness. I was put on an intense enzyme supplement/vitamin program, and Dr. Pouls' diet recommendations complimented my acupuncturist's. After one month, my BBT increased. Two months later I was pregnant! It took over 4 years to get pregnant. Although counseling and acupuncture was instrumental with my fertility health, I wish I had worked with Dr. Pouls before the beginning of our infertility journey: I probably would have 2 children by now.

18.Dear Dr. Pouls,

I am writing to you as a testimonial to share the amazing improvements that I have witnessed in my health, following your nutritional program.

When I first came to you, I hurt whenever I ate. I had excessive gastritis, irritable bowel, bloating, poor digestion (intolerance to dairy and sugar), flatulence, foul smelling stools and constipation. I also experienced nausea whenever I had no bowel movements. In addition, I experienced poor (weak) urine flow, which caused me much discomfort. I felt tired, with a poor attitude. I experienced shortness of breath and poor endurance.

Now, after only two months of therapy, it is amazing and fantastic to me how much my mental attitude and my physical energy have improved! I can't remember feeling so good! My digestion has been excellent and my bowel movements and urine flow are now normal. My fatigue is gone. I feel well balanced, I am able to walk faster with more stamina and endurance, and the pain in my back and legs is gone. My husband and I are walking three miles per day- effortlessly! This walk used to be a major challenge for me. I have no more shortness of breath.

Through this letter, I am glad that I may help someone to get help.

Dear Dr. Pouls,

I'm writing you a note to give you a testimonial regarding my health. Two months ago I came to you feeling sick, weak, tired, stressed and with no energy almost all the time. I had severe insomnia, and I was irritable and anxious. My muscles were wasting and totally weak. I also had very dry skin, liver toxicity and chemical sensitivities. I had chronic and severe headaches and back pain. My muscles were cramping frequently at night and I had a lot of shortness of breath after any exertion. Most of the time I had difficulty concentrating.

After only two months on your nutritional protocol I no longer feel sick, tired or stressed and my energy has really improved. My insomnia is almost gone and I am definitely calmer, less anxious and irritable. My skin is less dry and my headaches and back pain are tremendously less. The muscle cramps have disappeared and I no longer feel out of breath going up the stairs. My muscles are stronger and my concentration is much better.

I am so grateful for all of your help, and I am so pleased with the great results that I have received in such a short period of time.

Thank you so much,

I began working with Dr. Maile Pouls on 09-26-01. I came to her with many extreme symptoms, and with a diagnosis of hypoglycemia, which I had been suffering from for about 20 years. Many of my hypoglycemic attacks would last from between ½ to 1 hour long, and were accompanies by fatigue, which would last up to 24 hours or longer. I also experienced symptoms of cold sweats, weakness in my limbs, headaches behind my eyes, shakiness inside my body, sensitivity to sunlight, and dizziness. I also frequently had acne, pain in my knees especially with exertion, bloating/gas, abdominal pain, eye strain, and achiness, extreme exhaustion after exercise, weakness, tiredness, apathy, poor endurance, irritability, mood swings, inability to concentrate and mental fatigue.

Now after only a little bit more than three months following the nutritional program Dr. Pouls gave to me I have almost no symptoms of any hypoglycemia- the weakness and the limbs, and the shakiness are gone. I have no more fatigue, headaches, dizziness, pain or cold sweats. My endurance and my mood swings are greatly improved. I have no more eye achiness, no more mental fatigue, apathy, or inability to concentrate, and the acne and my skin conditions are totally clear. My abdominal discomfort has also decreased. I use to never be able to drink any wine and the extreme symptom form alcohol use has also disappeared.

I am very pleased with all the tremendous improvement in my health, and I certainly look forward to the continued benefits on Dr. Pouls programs.

Dear Dr. Pouls,

I thought you might like to know how [my husband] and I are getting along since we have been on your program. Within one week of starting the full program of vitamins my depression lifted and my energy started to return. The constant pain in my back and muscles lifted also. I remember telling [my husband] how calm and relaxed my body felt. I can’t remember the last time I felt so good! I was anxious for [my husband] to stop taking the Ritalin cause it was causing him to be irritable and angry. One week after starting the program, he was happier, calmer, and everyday came home from work in a good mood. Whereas he used to come home and report he was very far behind in his work and can’t get caught up…now he was reporting good days in which he finished the work he had to do!. Things were going so good, he stopped taking the Ritalin and has been doing better without it. Thanks so much…. It feels great to feel good again!

Dear YourNutrition.com,

I just wanted to send an e-mail to say thanks! I started taking Healthy Alternative's "Digestion and Stomach Upset Support" formula 3 weeks ago and I have NEVER felt better!

I am 26 and was diagnosed with Crohns disease when I was 18, I have always had diarrhea and almost forgot what it was like to be normal. When I started taking steriods, one of the side effects included gastritis. I knew nothing about gastritis until I read your website..at this time I was looking for anything that might relieve the symptoms.

After taking the "Digestion and Stomach Upset Support" formula, I am completely normal and have cut my dosage of prednisone more than half and am still going down..I am so happy that I am going to spread the news to other Crohn's disease patients or anyone having problems with their digestion.

Sincerely,
L. D.
