OUR LATEST SUCCESS STORIES
I went to Dr. Melissa Ponce because I heard she was brilliant in the area of Functional Medicine. I had been having some issues with chronic muscle pain, skin infections and low energy levels. I tried working on these issues on my own by changing my diet and increasing exercise but saw little to no change in the way I was feeling. When I went to Dr. Ponce she was quickly able to pinpoint what was going on with me even before the tests came back to confirm her analysis. From there she assisted me with a treatment plan that was very thorough and included a way for me to heal my body from the inside out. Dr. Ponce supported me through the entire process and answered any questions or concerns I had along the way.
Since receiving help from Dr. Ponce I have had less pain, dramatically decreased skin infections and a ton of energy. I can now say that for the first time in my adult life I feel energized, motivated, and more capable of taking on the tasks of the day. My experience with Dr. Ponce and Functional Medicine has been very educational and life altering. I would recommend her care to anyone and everyone because even if there are no pressing health issues she is a wealth of knowledge and can assist and counsel patients in the ways of living a more healthy and happy life. Thanks Dr. Ponce!

I began with Dr Ponce in spring 2010 and began her detox and nutritional program with supplements and lots of support and encouragement. I was beyond excited as I started seeing results – weight loss, feeling cleaner, thinking more clearly and more natural energy. I was off 4 out of 5 medications within the first month…and while I prepared to wait at least a year or more for my periods to resume by themselves (something which hadn’t happened for over 10 years) – my first period came after just 2 months of starting the program! I have since had regular monthly periods for 7 months and have been thrilled. A recent Obgyn visit confirmed that everything was normal and I am ready for pregnancy. I had no idea we could stabilize my hormones which the labs had shown were so drastically out of balance just months before! My IBS symptoms have been dramatically improved with the dietary guidelines -I much better understand what foods to stay away from and what to indulge in. I am currently on a program pealing me off of the antidepressant medication and using supplements to balance my neurotransmitters. Dr Ponce is incredibly knowledgeable and I have never had a doctor want to educate me so much so I can learn what is happening and how to take care of my body the best way possible. No more band-aid medication prescriptions, my body has and is naturally healed itself, using food as medicine, Dr Ponce’s supplements and her constant diligent care. She genuinely cares for my well-being and supports me every step of the way-being available all the time for any concern. I have been inspired and empowered by her coaching, education and hard work with testing and labs to get to the bottom of what was happening with my health – something none of the specialists took the time to do. I am thrilled with the results and HIGHLY recommend her to all friends and family who wish to experience optimal health! I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me!

How did you feel before coming in to Kalo Clinic?
I am 77 years old and had a problem with my bowels from age 35. Prior to seeing Dr Sarah I was always worried about going out because after developing IBS I never knew when an attack would happen. Attacks give no warning & just happen which creates great messes on clothing not to mention the strong smell. It is embarrassing when it occurs. I always wore dark clothes.
My attacks were so violent, ranging from 3 to 5 or7 hours. I became dehydrated and would pass out. Once I spent over 12 hrs in Emergency.
How has your health improved since then?
Since meeting Dr. Sarah and changing my eating habits plus taking the natural pills all of that above has changed. Now I even wear light colored garments sometimes. I feel more secure with myself and am even starting a new business where I have to meet people. I know there is no cure but boy do I feel so much better.

After years of seeing specialists and trying both western medicine and eastern alternatives, I was frustrated with the chronic IBS, female ovulation issues, and mood instabilities I’d been experiencing. My MD and the 3 specialists he sent me to just kept prescribing more pills until I was taking a rainbow of medications and usually felt tired, headaches and still emotionally unstable. After 8 years of OBGYN’s insisting I should continue with birth control pills to regulate my cycles, I wanted to address my mood and IBS symptoms and I tried a Homeopath. The natural doctor insisted I stop all medications so I came off the pill and for an entire year was not able to have even one period. After 12 months of waiting, a trip to the OBGYN’s and hormone treatment still did not produce any results, so I was instructed to go back on the pill, that my inability to ovulate was most likely due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and should I want to conceive down the line, there were fertility treatment options available. I was shocked and frustrated: years of OBGYN and multiple MD’s insistence to chemically regulate my hormones with birth control for years is what had created the problem – now my body could not ovulate by itself, and I was put back on the pill! I also had gone to see a Gastro-Interologist for chronic IBS, and was prescribed different antidepressants for borderline bipolar disorder by my MD. The pills for all 3 had their side effects – and I still was experiencing unbalanced mood swings.
I began my treatment with Dr. Ponce in January 2010 and within the first 2 weeks I began to see immediate results. We started out with a change in my diet and a supplement regiment–which sounded very intimidating at first but has been a surprisingly pleasant adjustment. Dr. Ponce’s method of education, testing, and creating an action plan has inspired and empowered me to appreciate my body again. Since then I have been gradually changing the diets of my family and have been able to come off all pharmaceutical medications! My husband has noticed the biggest difference. He sees the positive change in my attitude about life and my health. I have more energy throughout the day, feel healthier & happier, and have shed some unwanted baby fat! Although I’ve only been under Dr. Ponce care for 4 months my life has already done a complete 180-degree turn for the better. I’m so grateful to not only be living healthy but have my “life” back! Thank you Dr. Ponce!

Sluggish, heavy, problems recovering (amateur MMA athlete)
I also had issues with my knees especially during running and jump rope. No understanding of proper nutrition.
Now:
I feel leaner, recover is faster, able to perform better. No continuing issues with my knee at all. Low sugar, gluten free diet has been adopted.
Diego C., San Francisco
Then:
Before I came to the Kalo Clinic I was extremely fatigued and struggling to get my blood sugar levels under control. I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 37 years and have never been able to keep my blood sugar levels under control for any length of time. I was extremely frustrated and knew I had to change my way of eating because the diabetic diet I was supposed to follow was not working for me. I was counting carbohydrates to arrive at the correct insulin dose and my blood sugar levels would fluctuate from too high to too low all the time. The formula I used to calculate my insulin dose would work on day- and then fail to work the next day. I also have a thyroid condition for which I take medication. In addition to being a diabetic and having a partially removed thyroid gland I have been annoyed by yeast infections since I was 19 years old. About 1 ½ years ago I started getting IBS and that was about the time I knew I had to get help but I didn’t know where to – and then I found out about the Kalo Clinic.
Now:
I have all my energy back. I am 22 weeks into the nutrition program and my hemoglobin A1C is now in the excellent range! -6.8! I have not had a yeast infection in 3 ½ months! My fingernails are growing and everyone tells me my skin looks better! What’s even better is I feel fabulous! When I had a bladder infection I got through it by taking the supplements and with no medication!

In July 2009, I was 30lbs heavier, my diet was poor, I didn’t sleep well, and I lacked the energy to get through the day. Then I decided to enroll myself in mixed martial arts classes in hopes of transforming myself mentally and physically. That’s when I was introduced to Dr. Melissa Ponce. She suggested doing an intense 7-day detox followed by a dietary regimen. She said it would improve my overall performance as an athlete. On the 7-day detox, I was able to drop 7.5 lbs and I even noticed a difference in my sleeping habits. I’d wake up feeling like I had the energy of a 5-year old. Although the dietary regimen that Dr. Ponce recommended was quite strict, I was able to discipline myself mentally and make healthier choices. I’ve been able to train 2-4 hours a day and I’ve seen a huge difference in how my joints and my body respond to the movements without feeling drained. I feel stronger mentally and physically, not to mention my weight is ideal now. She has helped me become stronger in all kinds of ways. Thank you Dr. Melissa Ponce!
A.N.
“I am writing this review for Dr. Sarah Kalimoros and her clinic called the Kalo Clinic simply because I believe that she has the potential to prevent suffering, disease manifestation and progression in you as she did in me. I hope you meet with Dr. Sarah at least for an initial consultation to see how she could improve your health and well-being. I wish this especially for those who have been suffering from something that no doctor has either diagnosed or healed yet. Dr. Sarah utilizes nutrition response testing which is muscle testing based on your pressure points. This is how she personalizes your healing.
With her intuitive senses, she can also pick up your energy and that is how I believe she picked up my thyroid problem that had gone undetected by other doctors. I met Dr. Sarah at the New Living Expo where I finally got a diagnosis of what was happening with my thyroid. Although I had normal thyroid TSH, T3, and T4 etc. levels, at times, I felt stressed out and sluggish. After two decades of me going from one doctor to another, Dr. Sarah diagnosed me correctly and prescribed whole food supplements so my body would start to repair itself. After changing my life style by eating healthy, fresh and organic food and taking my supplements regularly, my body had gone through a detoxification so I started to feel more vibrant and energetic. And after eight months, the health improvements I felt were confirmed in my blood bio-markers. At my baseline exam, she had detected inflammation in my thymus traveling towards my thyroid gland which my blood work later confirmed her diagnosis that there were antibodies attacking my thyroid gland. My Antithyroglobulin (TgAb) was 128 (high) at baseline. She brought my TgAb counts down to 75 (high) midway through my treatment and then finally down to 36 (normal). I am now FREE of what could have manifested as an autoimmune thyroid disease. And I owe my health to Dr. Sarah’s talents of seeing my energy and knowing the exact science of how to prevent this thyroid disease without me having to depend on hormones or drugs.
Last but not least, I am indebted to Joy who I consider as my health coach at the Kalo clinic. She made me aware of and empowered me to be my own health advocate by reading food labels and eating food with maximum nutritious values. I also learned tremendously from Joy about healthy substitutes for food in cooking. Overall, I believe that without the support of the Kalo clinic acting as my second family/community, the life changes I made in my eating habit resulting in my excellent health would not have been possible.”

Then… Now…
then after“I first started getting migraines at age 12. At first, they were occasional and lasted a day or so. In college they became more frequent and began to last for three days. The three days were spent on the couch, in the dark, in quiet, and not eating much. By my 30s, they were monthly 3-day events and now began to take an additional 2-3 days to regain full brain capacity and normal energy. Then in 2005, they began to come on every 2 weeks. So, with the pain and the rebound time, I was literally missing half of each month. I’m the CEO and owner of a small high tech company so losing my brain for half the month was a real bummer. It actually felt like being pulled to the bottom of the ocean, dragged along the craggy bottom, and then released to float to the surface just long enough to catch my breath and feel the sun before being pulled to the bottom again.”
Dr. Kalomiros’ Treatment
“So, I came to Dr. Kalomiros’ for the footbath and she decided she wanted to do an evaluation for me. While I was in the footbath, she described that I had estrogen dominance, and wheat/gluten and sugar sensitivities. She described how it all interacted biologically to give me my lovely figure, inflammation, and pain. Then she recommended a very strict protocol. Now I got to explore the world of detox footbaths, colonics, Applied Kinesiology, muscle testing, detox powders, supplements, laser treatments, lymph drainage, and diet changes. There was a noticeable decrease in the duration and intensity of the pain during the next scheduled migraine. I called Dr. Kalomiros and described the pain and she saw me within the hour. The adjustment removed the shooting eyeball pain. Yes, there was still pain, but the result was enough to keep me motivated on the protocol even through Thanksgiving and Christmas. No pain by December was awesome and weight loss was a nice bonus.”
“It’s been seven months since I started with Dr. Kalomiros and it’s still kind of shocking and unsettling to get through a month without pain…. oh, and did I mention, FANTASTIC! She’s cut back much of the original protocol and I’m just on some body re-composition powder and supplements now. So, the bonus is that my shape has changed from the large, hip/butt, Rubanesque figure to the nearly flat stomach and gentle hips that you see in magazines.
Do I recommend Dr. Kalomiros? As often as I can. Dr. Kalomiros’ protocol, though it was a real commitment to implement, worked for me!”

ALLERGIES
Then…
“I had chronic asthma, allergies and nasal polyps, I was unable to taste or smell for years, woke up every night in a sneezing fit and started every morning with congestion and sneezing. I was in the emergency room at least once per year with pneumonia, bronchitis or strep and often has to take steroid to function even remotely normally.”Now…
“Now, I can smell, taste, sleep, have a ton of energy, clarity of mind and no allergies! I always sleep through the night, wake up refreshed and recharged! I have made it through a couple of office colds unscathed and have lost about 20lbs. The combination of nutrition and allergy treatments has literally changed my life. I can’t remember the last time I felt this great!”– L. A. from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“I am a diabetic and had Dr. Kalomiros treat me for it. She examined me and my test results were devastating for me. My health had really gone downhill tremendously. She put me in natural supplements and a new nutrition regimen. That was 8 months ago and am feeling much better and healthier. I am undergoing laser therapy for allergies. I’ve been seeing an allergist for years and have been given shots twice a week till its improved plus medication for it. In Dec. 2007 I suffered an allergic reaction from the injection and couldn’t breath so allergist got alarmed and entire office assisted in stabilizing my blood pressure, gave me oxygen and shot of epipen. That’s when I decided to see a Chiropractic Kinesiologist.”Now…
“I feel much better and healthier especially since I’m no longer on any allergy medications, no weekly injection for allergies. I’m a firm believer now of natural remedies for health problems by seeing alternative holistic approach to improve health. I look forward to taking whole food supplements that Dr. Sarah Kalomiros has given me to take as part of the treatment revising nutritional habits prier to seeing her. Have lost a lot of weight as well and exercise 2-3 times per week.”– Anonymous from Hillsborough, CA
PAIN AND INFLAMMATION
Then…
“My knee was frozen with a lot of pain and I couldn’t walk very well. I was hopping down stairs. I couldn’t run, not very helpful for an upcoming marathon.”Now…
“An incredible improvement, even during the [first] appointment. The same day I was back to walking normally. By the next day I had no pain and I hope to have the all clear today to get back to running tomorrow-just 2 days later!”– K. T. from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“I’d been experiencing excruciating chronic lower back pain and going into a depression from not being able train for several months (I’m a boxer). Just walking, standing up or sitting sown, sleeping, etc…was uncomfortable and I tried everything! Muscle relaxers and pain medication, acupuncture, cupping, deep tissue massage, Reiki, physical therapy exercises, chiropractic, etc. (weekly/regularly) all of which helped temporarily or not at all. A friend (Pro-fighter and trainer) with similar back problems referred me to Dr. Kalomiros confident she’d find me a permanent resolution just as she has for him and countless other fighters, athletes, etc…”Now…
“It’s only been my 4th visit and I’m back in the gym training full-time! (5-6 days a week) with no back pain!! My overall health (digestion, sleep patterns, mood, etc) has also improved I’m so grateful for all Dr. Kalomiros has done for me. Thank you for making it possible for me to pursue and strive towards my dreams! Before coming to the Kalo Clinic I couldn’t imagine what life would be like without constant back pain.”– C. M. from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“I had pain typing and extending my arm (even for things like waving goodbye.) It was mainly in the forearm and wrist. I wasn’t able to write without persistent pain and sometimes I had low levels of pain even when I was just sitting. All that was rather scary and traditional therapy seemed to exacerbate my condition.”
Now…“Now I have returned to full activities. I am intensively engaged in everything I ever did previously, including playing the piano intensively, and the pain is effectively gone.”
– Anonymous from San Rafael, CA
Then…
“My shoulder had constant pain when I would move it…I could not lift anything heavy or practice karate…Also, my “flow” was blocked and my periods had stopped.”
Now…“My shoulder is 98% better. I am back doing martial arts and I feel great! My periods have returned…and my internal flow is back to normal.”
– K.D. from San Rafael, CA
Then…
“Chronic neck pain, headache and high blood pressure (170/110). All with multiple medications; four for blood pressure, two pain (Vicodin & Morphine), muscle relaxants, anxiety (Ativan) and two anti depressants, plus birth control. I was overwhelmed with the amount of medication which was in addition to cortisone injections. The pain seemed out of control with no solution in sight, thus causing me to be over emotional and tired all the time.”
Now…“Amazing! Not only do I not take all the medication… I have more energy, am happier, I see a positive future and am sure only more positive change is in store for me. My diet and supplements are the key to staying on track. I am emotionally more stable which makes me much more fun to be around.”
– D.F. from Redwood Shores, CA
Then…
“I had chronic low grade injuries, torn front delt and chronic constipation”
NOW…“My energy has improved and systemic inflammation is much lower. I recover faster. Everything works the way it is supposed to.”
– K. F. from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“My arms had a lot of tension in them. I couldn’t use a computer with out splints for 5 minutes without causing pain and aching for a day or more. I’d had tendonitis and thoracic outlet syndrome for 4 ½ years. At first it was completely crippling. I had all my strength and sensation, but it was painful to do anything at all with my hands. The condition stabilized after 2 month, but I still have some pain at all times. I could use a computer again, but only with splints. I wore those splints every time I used a computer for 4.5 years. I had a relapse 3 years ago which was almost as bad as the initial injury. For the 3 years since, I saw a different AK Chiropractor who helped me get back to stability, but didn’t get me to make any real progress toward full recovery.”
NOW…“I started seeing Dr. Kalomiros in August ’06, and with a combination of chiropractic and nutrition, I’ve made dramatic progress. In November, I started using the computer without splints 20 minutes a day. Dr. Kalomiros’ encouragement helped me overcome my fear of doing this, which had accumulated for years. Now, only two months later, I’m not using the splints AT ALL! Two months ago, I thought it was impossible, but Dr. Kalomiros’ confidant assurance that I could do it if I ate right and took my supplements was inspiring and convincing. The most dramatic improvements came after she figured out it was my thyroid problem and I started taking supplements to address that. Massage, stretching, exercise, acupuncture, I had tried and all helped to temporarily relieve pain, but didn’t get at the source of the problem: chemical imbalance and toxins in my thyroid, heart, liver, and other organs. I don’t understand this stuff, but it seems to be working incredibly well!”
– E. B. from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“I was tired of the way my body looked and felt. I went through many personal changes before I arrived at Dr. Sarah’s door and the transition would have been more damaging and difficult without her nutritional and chiropractic advice and support.”
NOW…“My overall health has improved dramatically. I look younger, feel younger, and more importantly have clarity of the mind. I never realized the importance of eating and how it can affect every aspect of your life. Your weight, your moods, and your mental health all depend on what nutrients you are giving your body. A very simple thought.”
– M. P. from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“My lower back was in extreme discomfort…Every day I was forced to come home and lie around…Oh boy all the weight I gained. At times it hurt to walk, to stroll, to sit, to lie down; actually most anything…”
NOW…“After a number of treatments I am able to exercise [and] take a walk. I have learned many things…nutrition, autonomic system, cruciferous vegetables, [and] the precautions of vegetarianism…”
– D. S. from San Francisco, CA
DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Then…
“Before I came in I felt constantly tired, a slave to my moods and food cravings. My concentration was limited and I could never seem to get anything done. Work was unmanageable. I averaged 1 bowel movement a week. My skin broke out regularly as well.”
Now…“My energy levels are hugely improved. I’m not as moody, or at least can manage my daily routine and life challenges far more effectively. For the first time in over seven years, I can make bowel movements every day, my body no longer hurts. The bags under my eyes that I’ve had since childhood are almost gone. I don’t cry everyday. I can actually sit down and accomplish tasks. Concentration is no longer a fantasy.”
– Anonymous from San Francisco, CA
Then…
“I was very tired. My bowel movements were irregular and skin tone pale. I was on a very high dosage of thyroid medication (Synthroid) and had a racing heart beat. I had muscle pain and puffiness all over my body which required me to take a lot of pain medication. I was also not steady on feet. I ate all the wrong kinds of food and a lot of sugar.”
NOW…“Now with the help of Dr. Kalomiros and NRT testing I have lots of energy, happy, and smiling. I have two bowel movements a day, my skin tone looks healthy, and my heart beat has normalized. My thyroid medication has been cut in half soon to be weaning off more with my prescribing practitioner. I lost 15 lbs and all my puffiness has subsided. I am also no longer taking any pain medication!”

PMS AND HORMONE ISSUES

“My bones and muscles did not feel connected or in synchronicity. My emotions rode a roller coaster. I had energy and then I bottomed-out within minutes of each other. I was fairly healthy just because I drank a lot of water and exercised but my eating and drinking habits dictated a high and low life style. I was someone standing on the outside of my body looking in.”
NOW…“When I walk through the day, I feel like my bones, muscles, electricity enjoy the same synapses. It seems like they’re talking to each other and keen on living or functioning as a summation. My energy, my emotions, my thoughts are lighter and kinder and more solidly even. And I’ve enjoyed more sleepfull nights in two-three months than I’ve had in twenty years, which helps me breathe deeper everyday!”

“Before I started my nutrition program I was extremely depressed, highly emotional, very unhappy, anxious, and a danger to myself. I had cystic acne, was gaining weight by the day, and had uncontrollable sugar cravings. I was always sick; sinuses, throat, stomach you name it I had it! I had menstrual cramps so bad I could do nothing but curl in a ball and cry. I had no energy and my sleep pattern was very erratic. I was constipated and bloated. To say the least I was very unhappy!!”
NOW…“Shortly after starting my program my moods improved, I began to have more energy and I could actually say I was becoming a happy person! It just got better from there. Now I’m a happy go lucky person with a smile on my face every day. My digestion is great! My skin has cleared up and I have NO menstrual cramps! I haven’t been sick in almost 2 years now WOW! Now I come in for tune ups every once in a while and I’m happy, healthy, and loving life! I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for my closely monitored nutritional program. Thank you for giving me my life back!!!”

“When I first met Dr. Sarah Kalomiros I had gout and was suffering with this for about 8 years. I had a unhealthy lifestyle, but in my mind I didn’t think much of it. I was always checking my pH levels with that litmus paper and it was always coming up that I was really acidic.
NOW…She figured out through my exam that my liver was not very healthy. So, I went through diet changes, various chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, and supplementation. The medical profession told me that there was no cure for gout and I would just have to live with it, but I have not had an episode for 2 years now. Pain free!! Thanks Dr. Sarah!”

“I had chronic asthma, allergies and nasal polyps, I was unable to taste or smell for years, woke up every night in a sneezing fit and started every morning with congestion and sneezing. I was in the emergency room at least once per year with pneumonia, bronchitis or strep and often has to take steroid to function even remotely normally.”
NOW…“Now, I can smell, taste, sleep, have a ton of energy, clarity of mind and no allergies! I always sleep through the night, wake up refreshed and recharged! I have made it through a couple of office colds unscathed and have lost about 20lbs. The combination of nutrition and allergy treatments has literally changed my life. I can’t remember the last time I felt this great!”

HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES
Then…
“My experience with KALO CLINIC has been great. Prior to enrolling in the (Nutritional Response Testing) program I was not sleeping well tossing and turning throughout the night; feeling run down and exhausted at the end of everyday; having problem digesting food and feeling bloated after each meal and constantly had headaches.”
NOW…“After my second visit, I began feeling much better. My tossing and turning at night began to decrease and my energy level started improving to the point that I was not exhausted at the end of each day. As each week passed I continued to improve and feel 100% better and no more headaches. I am now able to eat regularly, I am getting quality sleep at night and I have not experience any more digestive problems. I am very satisfied with the service and advice that I have received from KALO CLINIC and I wish I would have taken advantage of this service a long time ago.”

“My bones and muscles did not feel connected or in synchronicity. My emotions rode a roller coaster. I had energy and then I bottomed-out within minutes of each other. I was fairly healthy just because I drank a lot of water and exercised but my eating and drinking habits dictated a high and low life style. I was someone standing on the outside of my body looking in.”
NOW…“When I walk through the day, I feel like my bones, muscles, electricity enjoy the same synapses. It seems like they’re talking to each other and keen on living or functioning as a summation. My energy, my emotions, my thoughts are lighter and kinder and more solidly even. And I’ve enjoyed more sleepfull nights in two-three months than I’ve had in twenty years, which helps me breathe deeper everyday!”

THYROID ISSUES
Then…
“I was very tired. My bowel movements were irregular and skin tone pale. I was on a very high dosage of thyroid medication (Synthroid) and had a racing heart beat. I had muscle pain and puffiness all over my body which required me to take a lot of pain medication. I was also not steady on feet. I ate all the wrong kinds of food and a lot of sugar.”
NOW…“Now with the help of Dr. Kalomiros and NRT testing I have lots of energy, happy, and smiling. I have two bowel movements a day, my skin tone looks healthy, and my heart beat has normalized. My thyroid medication has been cut in half soon to be weaning off more with my prescribing practitioner. I lost 15 lbs and all my puffiness has subsided. I am also no longer taking any pain medication!”

THEN…
“My arms had a lot of tension in them. I couldn’t use a computer with out splints for 5 minutes without causing pain and aching for a day or more. I’d had tendonitis and thoracic outlet syndrome for 4 ½ years. At first it was completely crippling. I had all my strength and sensation, but it was painful to do anything at all with my hands. The condition stabilized after 2 month, but I still have some pain at all times. I could use a computer again, but only with splints. I wore those splints every time I used a computer for 4.5 years. I had a relapse 3 years ago which was almost as bad as the initial injury. For the 3 years since, I saw a different AK Chiropractor who helped me get back to stability, but didn’t get me to make any real progress toward full recovery.”
NOW…“I started seeing Dr. Kalomiros in August ’06, and with a combination of chiropractic and nutrition, I’ve made dramatic progress. In November, I started using the computer without splints 20 minutes a day. Dr. Kalomiros’ encouragement helped me overcome my fear of doing this, which had accumulated for years. Now, only two months later, I’m not using the splints AT ALL! Two months ago, I thought it was impossible, but Dr. Kalomiros’ confidant assurance that I could do it if I ate right and took my supplements was inspiring and convincing. The most dramatic improvements came after she figured out it was my thyroid problem and I started taking supplements to address that. Massage, stretching, exercise, acupuncture, I had tried and all helped to temporarily relieve pain, but didn’t get at the source of the problem: chemical imbalance and toxins in my thyroid, heart, liver, and other organs. I don’t understand this stuff, but it seems to be working incredibly well!”
