Acid Reflux / Indigestion

My wife and I as well as all three of my children ages -11, 7, and 18 months- have seen Dr. St. John for all separate issues.   The experience was not only amazing for both of us but we saw immediate changes for each of them.  We first sent our middle child Aden to Dr. St. John to avoid an invasive procedure from a pediatric GI specialist.   In his first visit Dr. St. John was able to find the source of his problem and relive his symptoms. Hal Pickus

Since I have started treatment with Dr. St. John, I feel so much better!  I was suffering from acid reflux, gas, bloating and burping and now these problems are gone.  I also feel more calm, have more energy and my chronic headaches are so much better.  M.K.

Prior to seeing Dr. St. John I had frequent indigestion, acid reflux and needed Tums and Pepsid AC every day.  After about four months of treatment, I no longer have indigestion or need Tums or Pepsid AC.  I have more energy and I’ve learned to eat much more nutritiously. I’m a much happier person
overall!  T.A.

I had acid reflux that was so bad I had to sleep in an upward position using 5 pillows.  The stomach problems this caused were very painful.

Now I am feeling great! I have no more acid reflux and no longer have to sleep propped up by 5 pillows.  I lost about 20 pounds in the first month of my program, and am continuing to lose weight.  All of my problems have improved, I have a lot more energy and I am feeling great!  Thanks Dr. St. John! Rachel D.

Before I started my program with Dr. St. John, I had a bloated stomach, diarrhea, pretty bad heartburn and acid reflux.

Now I’m feeling much better overall.  I no longer have a bloated stomach or diarrhea.  Sometimes I still get acid reflux and even less often heartburn, but it’s much milder now than it used to be.  I had been taking 2 Prevacid for my problems since 7/21/10, and have recently been able to stop taking it because there is no longer a need! Kim S.

ADD / ADHD

In the past my 10-year-old son had a problem focusing in school to the point that medication was recommended and ADHD was mentioned.  We just had a parent/teacher conference and his teacher said he is now fully engaged 100% of the time and only had positive things to say.  My husband and I also notice our son is more confident and has more positive attitude.  E.P.

My son is doing great. He is no longer “over-active”. He is doing well in school and is much calmer. Thank you so very much. E.S.

My 6-year-old son has struggled with learning disorders which include dyslexia, attention deficit and word processing weakness. He also has struggled with anxiety.  Since being on Dr. St. John’s program he has doubled his reading level in 3 months, is achieving on his test scores and he can follow directions a lot better and hold his thoughts longer.  His confidence is way up and this has been recognized by many.  He is much more aware and conscious of healthy eating and limiting sugar.

Allergies / Sinus Problems

When I first came to see Dr. St. John, I suffered from severe sinus issues.  Now my sinus problems are greatly improved! A.M.

When I first started seeing Dr. St. John, I had been dealing with a few long term issues that did not improve no matter what help I sought.  I couldn’t sleep well due to severe sinus congestion which caused sleep apnea. Since seeing Dr. St. John, my issues are dramatically better!  My sinuses are much more clear and I am able to sleep soundly at night.  J.D.

I had been suffering from allergies to many things including cats and pollen.  Since being on my program, my tolerance to the things I was allergic to have improved drastically.  Michelle B.

I used to have bad seasonal allergies.  I would be on antihistamines for a majority of the spring and summer.  This year is my third spring without a single antihistamine.  I’m able to enjoy being outside and active without being dragged down by antihistamines.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John I had sinus problems and I was also suffering from vertigo. My sinus problems are now gone, and I no longer suffer from vertigo. C.B.

For 30 years I have dealt with allergy symptoms including runny nose, watery eyes and headaches.  In the past, I have spent thousands of dollars going to every type of doctor and alternative healthcare professional imaginable.  Although some of the conditions improved, as I aged, they were still bothering me.  There has been a notable improvement now that the “stressors” on my system have been isolated.  My health is improving weekly and I have made a major life-style change which I know will benefit me and give me the quality of life I have been searching for.

Cats have always been my nemesis.  My son once brought home a tiny lost kitten and desperately wanted to keep it.  It took less than 15 minutes before my eyes swelled up and I was sneezing and coughing.  He did not object when we brought it to our neighbor’s farm after seeing my distress. My cat allergy was not on my list of reasons for visiting Dr. St. John, but when I traveled to visit grandchildren in Atlanta, I was amazed that their 2 cats had no effect on me.  Usually I use antihistamines and a face mask and spend a lot of time on their deck.  After two days, I realized I had not worn my face mask at all, and was having no allergic reaction!  M.M.

Ankle Pain

Two years prior to coming to see Dr. St. John I had sprained my ankle which caused me to have pain in my heel.  My ankle was very stiff and it was painful to walk on.  I was able to walk after moving it around, but it still felt weak and achy.   Dr. St. John found that my ankle was out of position.
Since coming to see Dr. St. John, my ankle is perfect!  I no longer experience morning stiffness, and am able to walk on the treadmill again for as long as 30 minutes at a brisk pace! R.E.

I brought my son in because he had hurt his ankle.  His ankle hurt him every time he put weight on it.  During treatment, Dr. St. John talked to him about his weight and explained to him the importance of eating healthy.  

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, my son’s ankle has been fine!  He has been playing sports and has had no pain at all.  He has also started eating better, and has lost about 10 pounds!  He feels great and feels better about himself! J.C.

I’m a basketball player, and I was having a lot of trouble with my game.  My ankle was weak and it hurt all of the time, and I was having breathing problems.

Since my program with Dr. St. John, my ankle is strong and my game has improved.  My ankle never hurts anymore!  My breathing is also normal almost all of the time now.  A.D.

Arthritis

I used to have frequent arthritic pain and would take aspirin sometimes daily to control the pain. I didn’t even realize I was doing that.  Since being on the program I haven’t taken an aspirin for weeks! Marci T.

I had very bad arthritis in my feet and knees.  I was in a lot of pain when I woke up in the morning…I’m only 34!
Now I am feeling great!  My arthritis is gone!  I have a lot more energy and I am feeling great!  Thanks Dr. St. John! Rachel D.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had pain in both of my legs from arthritis. Since being on my program I am doing much better.  The pain in my legs is almost all gone… especially when I stay away from sugar.  Ann M.

I have been seeing Dr. St. John for 8 years for hip, neck, and shoulder problems.  I believe that the work Dr. St. John has done keeps me from taking medication or needing surgery on my arthritic hip and shoulder and allows me to be active and much more flexible.  It allows me to continue my regular yoga and Pilates.  P.M.

I had difficulty ascending and descending stairs and either needed railings to pull me up or I would do one step at a time.   Joint pain was also a severe problem.  I had it during the day as well as at night.  Sometimes it would keep me up at night because I couldn’t find the right spot to lie on.
Now stairs are not a problem; I can even carry things and go up easily.  On a recent trip, I was even able to climb up the sand dunes in Michigan. Also, joint pain rarely wakes me up and if it does, it doesn’t keep me up. Carolyn H.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John I had low energy, some joint pain and migraines.  Now I have a lot more energy, less headaches and joint improvement.  I feel an overall sense of well being. C.L.

Asthma / Breathing Problems

I went to see Dr. St. John because of trouble breathing.  Now I can breathe much better and I have more energy.  I also have a much better outlook on life! J.J.

I’m a basketball player and I was having a lot of trouble with my game because I was having breathing problems.  Since my program with Dr. St. John, my breathing is normal almost all of the time now.  A.D.

I had 2 pulmonary embolisms, my lungs hurt, I was short of breath and I was having chest pains.  Since seeing Dr. St. John, I have more energy, less pain, and my breathing is almost normal.  Overall, I am doing much better! D.B.

I had severe asthma (that worsens with pregnancy), and my primary care physician told me I had to be on asthma drugs for the rest of my life to prevent a serious asthma attack and to prevent my baby from not receiving enough oxygen. I was told that the asthma episodes could not be reversed and the baby’s well being was at risk. Even with all the medication I was taking, I always felt out of breath before and during pregnancy and had to sleep in an upright position in order to breathe a little better, so I could rest.

At seven months gestation, with the treatment for asthma, I was off my asthma medication almost immediately. By the time I delivered my baby, I was completely drug free and felt great. It has been five months since I had my baby and I have not had to take any asthma drugs. Amazing, considering how bad this pollen season has been!

Back Pain

I had been suffering from chronic back pain.  The left side of my lower back was especially painful.  Since receiving treatment from Dr. St. John, my back is all better.  I feel like I never had any back problems.  A.J.

When I came in I could hardly move.  Sitting was out of the question because of pain.  Also, I needed help getting out of bed.  Now I’m flexible and pain free.  I feel great!  I’m able to get out of bed myself and am able to move without pain.  Pat C.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had a chronic back problem. Now… no backaches!  I feel so much better and have a positive outlook about everything.  I cannot thank Dr. St. John enough for all he has done for me.   Luanne S.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, my neck and shoulders were stiff and sore and I was experiencing soreness in my lower back and wrist as well. Since coming to see Dr. St. John, the pain is completely gone!  I’m 100% better! J.C.

I found out what was wrong with my back. It was actually my kidneys.  His handling completely blew away the back pain I’ve had for TWO years in just 4 days and now, I'm handling the real problem.  B.H.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I felt like I was half dead.  I was functioning at about 40% of my physical capabilities.  I was having a lot of problems with my knee, hip, thigh and back.  I could barely walk. Since seeing Dr. St. John, I feel like I’m alive.  I am now functioning at 80% or higher, and I feel really good.  My knee, hip, thigh and back have all improved 100%. Mark S.

When I first came to see Dr. St. John, I had very bad back pain, mostly in my mid and lower back.  Now my back is about 90% better!  C.B.

For a couple of years I was having adjustments once a month, every month.  I would always need an adjustment, but I didn’t wait until pain necessitated and appointment.  About 4 months ago it started hurting in the right sacral area.  It would go “out” only a day after an adjustment.  On the 3rd visit with the same complain, Dr. St. John told me my problem was diet related and to take grains out of my diet.  I did that and my back has been 100% since! No pain! Now my back is great and I have no morning stiffness and no other pains.  I even recently went out a 200 miles motorcycle and camping trip with no problems! Steve D.

Depression

I’m off my thyroid medication and antidepressants and feel so much better! It was easy…
who knew?  P.S.

My biggest complaint was having low energy all the time.  I had insomnia at times, bouts of depression and muscle aches and soreness.  Now my energy levels are up, my mood is much more stable and I am able to sleep deeply through the night.  Learning the right way to eat has been extremely helpful to me and my family’s health.   E.P.

I was depressed, gaining weight, and had a chronic back problem, chronic sinus problem and memory loss.  Since working with Dr. St. John I am off my anti-depressants, have lost almost 30 pounds, and my back is fine!  No backaches!  I feel so much better and have a positive outlook about everything.  I cannot thank Dr. St. John enough for all he has done for me.   Luanne S.

I was feeling tired and knew my body needed a change.  I was bloated and I knew I needed to eat better.  I also suffer from depression, and I was having a very difficult time with feeling good.

I’m now feeling 100% better!  I have more energy and am no longer bloated.  I actually feel thinner and my body is taking on a leaner look.  I am eating the foods that my body is using.  My depression and ups and downs are much,
much better! Judy V.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I was very depressed.  I was even crying on a daily basis.  But now I’m great!  I’m cheerful, and am able to cope much better.  S.S.

I had no energy and was very depressed.  I was always achy and felt very sickly.  Also, I was gaining a lot of weight and was very unhappy.

Now I have a lot more energy.  I am losing weight, feeling better overall, and I finally have hope.  My spirits are much better and I am much happier!  P.H.

Fatigue

Before coming in I was feeling fatigued every afternoon and often needed a nap.  My sleep pattern was often disturbed and I would frequently wake up at 3 a.m.  I was often eating snacks all evening and I was gaining weight.

Now my energy has increased.  I’m sleeping more soundly through the night.  I no longer crave sweets and am losing weight! R.P.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I was always fatigued in the afternoon.  

Since being on my program I am doing much better.  When I am busy at work, the fatigue is much easier to get over!  Ann M.

I came in for weight loss and to manage hypothyroidism.  Fatigue was not uncommon especially in the evenings.  I was also eating a lot of carbs.

Now I feel energetic and confident.  I have started losing weight, though it is still an issue and I would like to lose 10 more pounds.  I am exercising more and at a higher intensity.  I like being on a low carb
diet.  T.B.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I was generally fatigued most of the time.  

Since being on my program, I feel much more normal, energy-wise. B.F.

After experiencing a very stressful period in my life, due mostly to economic conditions which brought on ravages such fatigue, my wife suggested I see Dr. St. John.  She has been a patient of his for several years and has been completely satisfied with the various treatments for whatever complaints she may have had.

I was placed on a special diet and given various organic supplements, which I took according to instructions, and after a couple of weeks, I went in for a second scheduled appointment, which indicated an improvement, and I was feeling better.  I was less fatigued, and was able to sleep better.  Better sleep was a most important factor and was greatly lacking.

I couldn’t believe how diet and supplements could make such a big difference.  I sleep better, enjoy work-outs more due to an increase in energy, and enjoy more and more relaxation in my life.    It can’t get much better than this! Or can it? Dave H.

Fibromyalgia

I was constantly fatigued and in severe pain from osteoarthritis. I was also having difficulty dealing with fibromyalgia. It seemed I had layers of pain.

After six weeks on a whole food nutrition program, the pain had diminished to a tolerable level and I have had more energy. Generally, every weekend, after working a job all week, I was a couch potato, unable to do much of anything. NOW, I am able to tend my garden on the weekend and handle more household chores, which I had been avoiding. D.A.

I was tired – no energy. Wasn’t sleeping through the night. I suffered from fibromyalgia, had high blood pressure, pain in my thumb (excruciating). Due to a fungus, I had no bowel movements unless I took a laxative. I was unable to lose weight.

I am now full of energy, sleeping through the night, blood pressure is normal, the thumb pain is much improved, regular bowel movements and I am losing weight (and I’m even eating dinner!).  M.E.

General Aches And Pains

Before I started working with Dr. St. John I had struggled using weight and suffered and had unexplained pain above my kidney for a year.  No Doctor could figure out what was wrong.  I also felt like I was living in a cloud.  For the first time in a year I don’t have that pain in my side!  Dr. St. John has helped me with my diet and making good decisions to become healthier.  My energy level is much higher now and I am also losing weight!   Erin B

Headaches and Migraines

During three years of suffering migraines headaches, I went through a very debilitating stage in my life. In my particular case, it was a progressively disabling disease. I was under medication in order to function. Without any optimism of get well after being on hands of the best migraines headaches specialists, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. St. John and after one visit he determined the right way to treat my condition. After a few months of treatments, food supplements and changes on my own life awareness and attitudes, my body started to respond and I was able to be off my medications. The process of recuperation was long but I was able to notice the improvement in my life from day one. I never lost the courage to keep on Dr. St. John's treatment because I was able to experience positive changes in my life and in my well being from the very early stages of my treatment.  J. Fernandez

When I first came to see Dr. St. John, I suffered from constipation, frequent headaches and severe
sinus issues.

Since seeing Dr. St. John, I am feeling much, much better! Not only am I regular now and not suffering from constipation, but I have very few headaches and my sinus problems are greatly improved!  A.M.

Since I have started treatment with Dr. St. John, I feel so much better!  I was suffering from acid reflux, gas, bloating and burping and now these problems are gone.  I also feel more calm, have more energy and my chronic headaches are so much better.  M.K.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had been suffering with chronic daily headaches.  I had been waking up with a headache every morning for over a year.  Also, I could not move my head from side to side with out a lot of neck pain.

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, I no longer wake up with headaches! My neck pain is also improving dramatically.  C.B.

At age 8 I was diagnosed with chronic daily headaches and migraines.  I had been dealing with them for 16 years!  Since being on my program with Dr. St. John, the headaches and migraines are extremely limited.  I hardly get them anymore! C.M.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John I had low energy, some joint pain and migraines.  Now I have a lot more energy, less headaches and joint improvement.  I feel an overall sense of well being. C.L.

Who wakes up with a headache? I used to! I’d have a complete, rested nights sleep but would have a really uncomfortable headache in the morning.  It would diminish during the day, but it did affect the initial part of my day.

Dr. St. John found that I had a need for thyroid support.  Taking Thytrophin PMG twice a day has done it!  Thanks, Dr. St. John! B.S.

High Blood Pressure

When I started my program, I was taking medication for high blood pressure.  My blood pressure was always something over 90 or above.  I have had pain in my feet for years and spider veins around my ankles and have been overweight most of my life.  One of the things that I noticed was that when I closed my eyes and was standing up, I would lose my balance.  
Since starting on my program, I have stopped taking blood pressure medication altogether.  My blood pressure readings are between 123-140 over 79-85.  This is much better than it was when I was taking the medication.  I have not been falling over lately because my balance is better.   I find I have more energy.  The purple veins on my ankles are not going away and I have more feeling in my feet. P.R.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I was taking high blood pressure medication.
Now my I’ve stopped taking the medication! My energy level is up, I feel (and am) healthier, and I have lost the weight that I gained.  I feel like myself again.  I sleep well and feel I live well.  I feel so much better.  Deborah B.

My blood pressure was very high.
Within a month of treatment my blood pressure normalized, and I'm now close to feeling like myself again energetically. C.S.

I am a professional artist. For years I have worked with toxic materials and solvents. More recently, I began getting headaches and high blood pressure.

Since I began my nutritional program I feel healthier. My blood pressure has dropped to 120/80 and the presence of metals in my body has dropped. J.S.

My health had been progressively worsening with blood pressure increasing to a point where medications were at their highest dosages with no results.

After only 11 visits my blood pressure is now almost text book perfect. M.C.

My heart rate and blood pressure had gone up to high normal and my heart rate was 88.
Today is the middle of the day in the office. My blood pressure is 114/71 and my heart rate is 76. E.V.

High Blood Sugar

I was achy, had sinus problems, craved sugar all of the time and was overweight.  Also, my blood sugar was high, as was my cholesterol.

Now, my sugar cravings are much improved and I am happy with the foods that I am eating.  I have lost weight, which really makes me happy.  I had a fasting blood test by my family doctor, and he said that everything had greatly improved and that I should keep doing whatever it is that is helping so
much.  Donna D.

I had recently been given the news that I had diabetes.  My blood sugars were climbing.  My doctor put on an oral drug, Metformin, and told me to watch my diet.  The drugs were not working well, and some symptoms including fatigue, brain fog and migrating body pains continued to worsen.  That’s when I decided to pursue alternative methods to handle my blood sugar problems.

After undergoing an evaluation I got on my individualized health improvement program and I started to follow it.  Within two weeks, my blood sugars dropped.  My brain was clear and I found my energy returning to a less painful body.  As of now, my blood sugars are normal without any medication. Bill

At 16 weeks pregnant, I was experiencing blurry vision and sometimes black outs. My GYN than discovered I had gestational diabetes and quickly got me started on insulin and a strict diet. Every week my dosage had to be increased until they found the right dosage. I became “stable” for a few weeks and then my dosage had to be increased again every month. I was giving myself insulin shots 3 times a day and checking my sugar levels six times a day.

At seven months gestation I began my program, and after the first couple of weeks of treatment my insulin dosage started to be reduced until I was completely off of the insulin. By the time I delivered my baby, I was completely drug free and felt great. G.R.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I was generally fatigued most of the time.  My blood glucose was between 140 and 212.

Since being on my program, I feel much more normal, energy-wise.  I am getting fewer headaches and my blood glucose has ranged mainly from 83-101.  Only once has it been as high as 124. B.F.

High Cholesterol

I was achy, had sinus problems, craved sugar all of the time and was overweight.  Also, my blood sugar was high, as was my cholesterol.

Now, my sugar cravings are much improved and I am happy with the foods that I am eating.  I have lost weight, which really makes me happy.  I had a fasting blood test by my family doctor, and he said that everything had greatly improved and that I should keep doing whatever it is that is helping so
much.  Donna D.

Before starting my program, I was certain that the next time I visited my family doctor she would put me on cholesterol medication.  Well, to my amazement, after my blood work I was within range that I didn’t need to take the medication.  I was determined not to go the standard way of taking a pill that would have twice as many side effects.  I know now that I’ll have a healthy life using natural products.  Sally M.

Hip Pain

I have been seeing Dr. St. John for 8 years for hip, problems.  I believe that the work Dr. St. John has done keeps me from taking medication or needing surgery on my hip and allows me to be active and much more flexible.  It allows me to continue my regular yoga and Pilates.  P.M.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I felt like I was half dead.  I was functioning at about 40% of my physical capabilities.  I was having a lot of problems hip.  I could barely walk.

Since seeing Dr. St. John, I feel like I’m alive.  I am now functioning at 80% or higher, and I feel really good.  My hip has improved 100%. Mark S.

Improved Athletic Performance

I’m a basketball player, and I was having a lot of trouble with my game.  My ankle was weak and it hurt all of the time, and I was having breathing problems.
Since my program with Dr. St. John, my ankle is strong and my game has improved.  My ankle never hurts anymore!  My breathing is also normal almost all of the time now.  A.D.

Intestinal Issues

My digestive system is also working on a regular basis without the need for laxatives which I have been taking the last several years.  It can’t get much better than this! Or can it? Dave H.

When I first came to see Dr. St. John, I suffered from constipation, frequent headaches and severe sinus issues.
Since seeing Dr. St. John, I am feeling much, much better! Not only am I regular now and not suffering from constipation, but I have very few headaches and my sinus problems are greatly improved!  A.M.

Before I started my program with Dr. St. John, I had a bloated stomach, diarrhea, pretty bad heartburn and acid reflux.
Now I’m feeling much better overall.  I no longer have a bloated stomach or diarrhea.  Sometimes I still get acid reflux and even less often heartburn, but it’s much milder now than it used to be.  I had been taking 2 Prevacid for my problems since 7/21/10, and have recently been able to stop taking it because there is no longer a need! Kim S.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I was having a lot of digestion problems.  Almost anything I ate bothered me.  But now, I hardly ever have a problem after eating anything. Carolyn H.

Knee Pain

Eight years ago, my orthopedic physician told me that I would have to undergo a total knee replacement surgery for my osteoarthritic knee.  However, Dr. St. John has successfully treated me for the condition since that time and I am very happy with the results.  Clare B.

I could barely walk and I was almost ready to go through surgery for my knee.  Now, after treatment I walk easily and feel more aligned within my body.  Dr. St. John also worked on my back and ankle to restabilize it which also helped my knee.  I am happy I made the choice to see him!   Christiane S.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I felt like I was half dead.  I was functioning at about 40% of my physical capabilities.  I was having a lot of problems with my knee, hip, thigh and back.  I could
barely walk.

Since seeing Dr. St. John, I feel like I’m alive.  I am now functioning at 80% or higher, and I feel really good.  My knee, hip, thigh and back have all improved 100%. Mark S.

Thank you so much for your good work in helping me get well.  After seeing you I am as good as new.  No more hip or knee problems either!

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, my left knee kept giving out, and it was very sore.  After being on my program and using supplements, in only 3 weeks my knee is no longer bothering me!  L.S.

Leg Pain / Restless Legs


Before Alex came to see Dr. St. John he looked and felt tired and had purple shadows under his eyes like he had been crying.  He was also suffering from severe leg cramps that would wake him most nights.  He also had a lack of energy and just wanted to watch TV!!  Now, his face and eyes are almost normal, his energy level has greatly improved and has even been commented on by other family members and daycare. And, no leg cramps, which is the most impressive improvement!  We are very, very pleased with the results!  Rosemary E.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John I was experiencing a lot of leg pain.   It was worse in one leg than the other, but both had pain.  Sometimes the leg pain would wake me up at night, sometimes several times a night.  I was tired all the time and experienced muscle weakness.

Since coming to see Dr. John St. John, all of the leg pain is gone from one leg, and the other leg has greatly improved!  I am able to sleep through most nights, and if I do wake with leg pain, a simple shift in my position allows me to go back to sleep.  I am feeling much more rested and my energy level has increased! J.G.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I would get leg cramps at night sometimes.  I was also suffering from restless legs.  I was eating very unhealthy, would crave sweets and breads, and I didn’t have very
much energy.

I now have no leg cramps at night, and there has been major improvement with my restless legs. I am eating better, have a lot more energy and I feel better overall.  Also, I’m not craving sweets anymore, and knowing that there are alternatives for what I can’t eat helps with the cravings!  B. L.

I had chronic pain in my legs and hips, as well as extreme tightness in the muscles.  After only one week on my program, I feel better.  I am more energized when I wake up and the pain and soreness are not as intense as they used to be.  L.B.

Low Energy


My biggest complaint was having low energy all the time.  I had insomnia at times, bouts of depression and muscle aches and soreness.  Now my energy levels are up, my mood is much more stable and I am able to sleep deeply through the night.  Learning the right way to eat has been extremely helpful to me and my family’s health.   E.P.

I came to see Dr. St. John for shoulder pain, general sluggishness and lack of energy.  Since being on the program, my muscle pain is almost gone and I now see how my diet was causing me to feel sluggish.  I’ve made those corrections and it’s not an issue anymore!    M.T.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had extreme foot pain, no energy, and had been gaining weight.  
Since being on my program, the foot pain is decreasing, my energy has increased, I have lost 5 pounds so far, and my blood pressure is down to 122/66.  M.P.

I had no energy and was very depressed.  I was always achy and felt very sickly.  Also, I was gaining a lot of weight and was very unhappy.
Now I have a lot more energy.  I am losing weight, feeling better overall, and I finally have hope.  My spirits are much better and I am much happier!  P.H.

Menopausal Issues

I began to have severe menopausal symptoms starting about a year ago.  The hot flashes during the day and the night sweats during sleep were terrible.  I remember how my mother suffered during her climacteric and how many years it took before she was over these problems.  I started on my programs, and began taking special supplements and changing my diet.  I began to feel much better within a week.  The night sweats and hot flashes are pretty much gone and I sleep comfortably every night.  C.J.

I was supposed to schedule a hysterectomy because I was having occasional pain and spotting, and a thickening was found in my uterus.  But now… there is little to no pain in my uterus and
ovaries.  Carolyn H.

I had been feeling very well since beginning my program… having eliminated back and shoulder pain, headaches, etc.  But my hot flashes and night sweats were still a problem.  One food that I really enjoyed and tended to eat too much of (snacking on them throughout the day) was cashews.  After being tested for and advised to stop eating them: Bingo!  One day later my hot flashes had totally disappeared and have not returned.  V.P.

Several years ago my annual mammogram showed dark spots that needed biopsies for further diagnosis.  I started on a regimen with Dr. John to treat this imbalance.  The calcifications were still benign, but what delighted me was when I received the results of a follow-up mammogram. My OB/GYN assured me all was well, and, in an incredulous tone he said, “Actually, the calcifications seem to be going away!”  My last breast exam and thermography (I have switched to this diagnostic tool after hearing about it from Dr. John) were clear.

I feel very fortunate to benefit from Dr. John’s insatiable thirst for more and more knowledge on how to help the body to maintain balance.  He continues to fine tune and refine avenues for healing.  I have learned that each body is unique and has its own innate sense of what is needed to recover from imbalances and return to health.  I believe that the techniques that Dr. John employs provide me with a unique opportunity to access my body’s wisdom,  catch issues sooner and treat them by non-invasive, natural processes  that actually result in more improved health overall!

Menstrual Problems

I had not had a period in over a year and would only get it when I was on birth control. After 6 weeks of being on the program, I got my period on my own for the first time in years. I am feeling better than I have in a long time. A.B.

 I no longer have the severe PMS symptoms such as irritability! J.L.

Before I came to see Dr. St. John I had to take prescription pain pills for menstrual cramps.  Now I don’t have to take any! A.M.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I suffered from severe menstrual cramps the week before, during and after my period which were really affecting my life. But now, the menstrual cramps are much better.  I only have a little bit of cramping on the first day of my period.  Alanna G.

Neck Pain

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, my neck and shoulders were stiff and sore and I was experiencing soreness in my lower back and wrist as well.  

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, the pain is completely gone!  I’m 100% better! J.C.

I first came to see Dr. St. John because I had neck problems due to a car accident over 20 years ago.  I had a very limited range of motion when I tried to turn my head to the left.

Now my neck feels great and I again have full movement.  Daryl D.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had been suffering with chronic daily headaches.  I had been waking up with a headache every morning for over a year.  Also, I could not move my head from side to side with out a lot of neck pain.

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, I no longer awaken with headaches! My neck pain is also improving dramatically.  C.B.

Whenever I saw my chiropractor, which was regularly once a month for neck pains, I needed
an adjustment.

When I see my chiropractor now, his whole office staff is amazed because I have not needed an adjustment for seven months! That’s almost seven months of stability.

It goes without saying that my neck pain has been gone since then too! R.K.

Panic Attacks / Anxiety

Before I started my program I was having a lot of anxiety.  Since being on my program though, I have no more anxiety!  K.E.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had suffered from chronic panic attacks.  
Now I’m feeling great and have very little anxiety.  I love the eating plan and when I stick to it, I feel the best!! Thank you, Dr. St. John.  Mary Beth H.

I have noticed an improvement in my anxiety level and my self-assurance.  Nicole M.

My energy was low.  I had a sluggish feeling.  My sleep was often interrupted by general feelings of anxiety.  My weight wasn’t holding steady.  My thinking wasn’t very clear.  I was on a mild antidepressant.  Since being on the program, I have more energy.  I have a generally lighter feeling.  I’ve been off the antidepressants for about three months now.  I am sleeping much better and my thinking is definitely clearer.  My overall outlook is more accepting and positive.  A.D.

Shoulder Pain

I have been seeing Dr. St. John for 8 years for shoulder problems.  I believe that the work Dr. St. John has done keeps me from taking medication or needing surgery on my shoulder and allows me to be active and much more flexible.  It allows me to continue my regular yoga and Pilates.  P.M.

I came to see Dr. St. John for shoulder pain, general sluggishness and lack of energy.  Since being on the program, my muscle pain is almost gone and I now see how my diet was causing me to feel sluggish.  I’ve made those corrections and it’s not an issue anymore!    M.T.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, my neck and shoulders were stiff and sore.  

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, the pain is completely gone!  I’m 100% better! J.C.

I kept waking up with a horrible pain between my shoulder blades on the left hand side, even after taking recommended supplements.
Until, this morning….I woke up and did my standard “stretch” to try to work it out and I realized: I couldn’t feel anything, no pain! That definitely got me started on the right side of the bed. It made me realize that before, the ache was such a daily occurrence that I had actually gotten into the habit of expecting to feel it right when I tried to get out bed. What a nice surprise not to feel it, after all this time. It started back in 2004 when I was really sick with mono and it just never went away. Until NOW. I’m so glad to know and experience first-hand this amazing technique.  L.P.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had a lot of pain in my right shoulder.  I was even unable to raise my arm very high.

Now my shoulder is 90% better and I can raise my arm! C.B.

Problems With Skin, Hair And Nails

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had bumps covering my entire abdomen.  After only one day of the recommended supplement, the bumps went away! Michael D.

Prior to seeing Dr. St. John, I was getting brown spots on my arms and my nails were brittle and always peeling or breaking off.
After about four months of treatment, My brown spots have faded on my arms, my nails are hard and I’ve learned to eat much more nutritiously.  T.A.    

I had very severe eczema my whole life and also suffered from allergies to many things including cats and pollen.  Since being on my program, I have not had any symptoms of eczema or even dry skin.  Also, my tolerance to the things I was allergic to have improved drastically.  Michelle B.

For the past several years my fingernails had been flaking and cracking.  Since coming to see Dr. St. John, my nails are healthy!  They have improved dramatically and are no longer flaking or
cracking!  Ann M.

When I first saw Dr. St. John I had been dealing with a severe reaction to poison ivy and an allergic reaction to some over-the-counter poison ivy treatment.  My left arm was swollen considerably; I had swelling all down my left side into the left abdomen, and the poison ivy was spreading to my right side, right arm, and both legs.  I had seen a dermatologist the day before and his only recommendation was three weeks of high-dose Prednisone, which he told me could cause bloating and decreased adrenal gland function.  I was born with decreased adrenal gland function and have been working very hard over the past four years to rebuild my adrenal strength; but the dermatologist still recommended that I take the Prednisone and stop taking my adrenal support supplements.
 After starting the calamine lotion treatment and the supplements Dr. St. John determined I needed through Nutrition Response Testing the itching stopped very quickly.  Now, 24 hours later, the swelling is noticeably decreased and the itching only occurs just before I am due to take the next dose of supplements.  I am no longer worried about my left arm or concerned that I might need to take the Prednisone.  It was definitely worth the hour drive to see Dr. St. John.  J.R.
Before coming to see Dr. St. John, I had red dots on my legs and my skin would itch after I ate.  But now…  The red dots on my legs are not as bright, I no longer itch after I eat, and my cellulite has diminished.  I am very happy overall!  V.D.

I didn’t come to see Dr. St. John for skin issues, but my acne has almost vanished!  That’s just a bonus to my program! C.M.

Sleeping Problems

My biggest complaint was having low energy all the time.  I had insomnia at times, bouts of depression and muscle aches and soreness.  Now my energy levels are up, my mood is much more stable and I am able to sleep deeply through the night.  Learning the right way to eat has been extremely helpful to me and my family’s health.   E.P.

When I first started seeing Dr. St. John, I had been dealing with a few long term issues that did not improve no matter what help I sought. I couldn’t sleep well due to severe sinus congestion which caused sleep apnea.  

Since seeing Dr. St. John, my issues are dramatically better! My sinuses are much clearer and I am able to sleep soundly at night. J.D.

Prior to seeing Dr. St. John I had Vertigo problems so bad that it would take me over an hour to fall asleep without feeling dizzy.  
Now I can lie down and go to sleep right away every night without getting dizzy.  I have more energy and I’m a much happier person overall! T.A.

After experiencing a very stressful period in my life, due mostly to economic conditions which brought on ravages such as loss of sleep, etc., my wife suggested I see Dr. St. John.  She has been a patient of his for several years and has been completely satisfied with the various treatments for whatever complaints she may have had.

I was placed on a special diet and given various organic supplements, which I took according to instructions, and after a couple of weeks, I went in for a second scheduled appointment.  The second examination indicated an improvement, and I was feeling better.  I was less fatigued, and was able to sleep better.  Better sleep was a most important factor and was greatly lacking.

I couldn’t believe how diet and supplements could make such a big difference.  I sleep better, enjoy work-outs more due to an increase in energy, and enjoy more and more relaxation in my life.    It can’t get much better than this! Or can it? Dave H.  

I was tired through the day and had difficulty sleeping.  Now I am learning what types of food I should be eating and can tell now when I have eaten something I shouldn’t have.  I sleep soundly at night and have a lot of energy throughout the day.  In fact, I am working 50-60 hours a week and I have been able to stay energized throughout the long weeks.  E.W.

Teeth An Jaw Problems

I went to see Dr. St. John with unexplained tooth pain.  I now have no tooth pain! J.J.

Little did I know I would get other benefits from the treatment that I received?  I thought my health issues were due to normal aging to me progress has been an added surprise and bonus.  My experience has been amazing.  I no longer clench my teeth which has caused my teeth to become more stable. Vera B.

The Benefits Of Good Health

I recently applied for new life insurance and was given a rate based on my age (53).  After they tested my blood, urine and physical responses, they contacted me to say that my great health results were going to being me into the policy range for age 35! That was a 40% savings on premium.  They could not believe I was not on any prescription medications.  M.O.

Thyroid Problems

I’m off my thyroid medication and antidepressants and feel so much better! It was easy…
who knew?  P.S.

I used to have frequent arthritic pain and would take aspirin sometimes daily to control the pain. I didn’t even realize I was doing that.  Since being on the program I haven’t taken an aspirin for weeks!  My sugar cravings used to be strong—I’d often wake up and need to eat.  The cravings are better now.  I used to have constant nasal drip with a lot of thick mucus in my throat and always had to clear my throat…very annoying.  It is much better now and my throat is clearer.  My thyroid is also under better control and I am sleeping better. Lastly, I had tenderness over my gall bladder and liver (over my right lower ribs) and it is now gone!  Marci T.

I came to Dr. St. John exhausted and on the verge of depression about my condition. I was not sleeping, was not thinking clearly, and in four years of medical treatment my doctors could not stabilize my thyroid dysfunction. I went from hypo to hyperthyroid and it was exhausting to me.  
After eight weeks into the program that Dr. St. John recommended, I feel like I have myself back again.  I am sleeping well, thinking clearly and feeling better than I’ve felt in a very long time.  It’s amazing how much better I feel! I have more energy and stamina. People tell me I look better, that my color is better and that I seem like myself again. I am so very grateful for the way Dr. St. John’s program has given me back my life!  D.B.

I’d had hypo/hyperthyroidism for 5 years before seeing Dr. St. John.  I had no energy, had trouble sleeping, was gaining weight, and taking medications.  I also had had 4 kidney stones.  
Now my thyroid is normal.  I’ve stopped taking medication (including blood pressure medication), have my energy level up, I feel (and am) healthier, and I have lost the weight that I gained.  I feel like myself again.  I sleep well and feel I live well.  Also, no more kidney stones! I feel so much better.  Deborah B.

Weakened Immune System

Prior to seeing Dr. St. John I would catch colds and the flu very easily and frequently which created a lot of anxiety and worry for me.  
After about four months of treatment, my immune system is stronger… I had a sore throat and a flu-type headache coming on and everyone around me was getting sick but Dr. St. John told me to take more supplements and my body fought it off!  I now have no more anxiety or morbid fears about catching the flu or colds.  T.A.

I always caught many colds that would last for weeks.  But now… I haven’t had any colds!   I am feelings very healthy and strong! L.H.

No more colds…my immune system is better! Mena M.

Before starting my program, my health was what I would have called good.  I accepted my problems because I’d lived with them my whole life and assumed everyone else was the same.  My immune system didn’t seem to work very well because I often caught cold and flu viruses.  However, now I am highly aware of what I put into my body and how it affects it.  I can tell almost immediately when I’ve eaten something I shouldn’t have.  I have more energy than I had before.  When I start to get sick I know what to take to get rid of the virus before it takes hold.  I feel like I’m on the road to healing.

I used to get sick a lot.  I always seemed to feel like I had a cold of flu.  I just seemed to feel sick all the time.  This sick feeling seemed worse whenever I ate.  When I got my personalized health improvement program I began to see quite a bit of improvement.  I feel better physically and emotionally.  Food tastes so much better and there is no sick feeling.  I have more energy than ever before.

Weight Problems

Before I started working with Dr. St. John I had struggled using weight and suffered and had unexplained pain above my kidney for a year.  No Doctor could figure out what was wrong.  I also felt like I was living in a cloud.  For the first time in a year I don’t have that pain in my side!  Dr. St. John has helped me with my diet and making good decisions to become healthier.  My energy level is much higher now and I am also losing weight!   Erin B

I was depressed, gaining weight, and had a chronic back problem, chronic sinus problem and memory loss.  Since working with Dr. St. John I am off my anti-depressants, have lost almost 30 pounds, and my back is fine!  No backaches!  I feel so much better and have a positive outlook about everything.  I cannot thank Dr. St. John enough for all he has done for me.   Luanne S.

I brought my son in because he had hurt his ankle.  His ankle hurt him every time he put weight on it.  During treatment, Dr. St. John talked to him about his weight and explained to him the importance of eating healthy.  

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, my son’s ankle has been fine!  He has been playing sports and has had no pain at all.  He has also started eating better, and has lost about 10 pounds!  He feels great and feels better about himself! J.C.

I first came to see Dr. St. John because my sugar intake was very high and improve my overall
eating habits.  

Now my sugar intake is almost zero, and I have lost about 15-20 pounds!  My eating habits have really improved and I feel much better physically.  Daryl D.

I craved sugar all of the time and was overweight.  Also, my blood sugar was high, as was my cholesterol.  But now my sugar cravings are much improved and I am happy with the foods that I am eating.  I have lost weight, which really makes me happy.  I had a fasting blood test by my family doctor, and he said that everything had greatly improved and that I should keep doing whatever it is that is helping so much.  Donna D.

I’d had hypo/hyperthyroidism for 5 years before seeing Dr. St. John.  I had no energy, had trouble sleeping, was gaining weight, and taking medications.  I also had had 4 kidney stones.  

Now my thyroid is normal.  I’ve stopped taking medication (including blood pressure medication), have my energy level up, I feel (and am) healthier, and I have lost the weight that I gained.  I feel like myself again.  I sleep well and feel I live well.  Also, no more kidney stones! I feel so much better.  Deborah B.

When I first came in I was tired, not sleeping well, craving sugar and had gained weight that I couldn’t lose despite working out 5-6 times per week.

After 9 weeks of treatment, I have more energy during the day, I am sleeping better than before, my sugar cravings have gone down and most importantly I am now at a weight that I was 6-7 years ago.  I feel good about myself and I am looking forward to further improvements. L.B.

Wrist, Hand And Arm Pain

Before coming to see Dr. St. John, my neck and shoulders were stiff and sore and I was experiencing soreness in my lower back and wrist as well.  

Since coming to see Dr. St. John, the pain is completely gone!  I’m 100% better! J.C.

Before coming to see Dr. St. John my left arm would go numb a lot.  I felt pretty bad.

Now I’m feeling great!  My arm numbness is gone.  I Love the eating plan and when I stick to it, I feel the best!! Thank you, Dr. St. John! Mary Beth H.

In October of 2008 I was in a car accident which caused herniated disk.  Due to this, I had constant pain, numbness and weakness in my left hand.  I had gone to another chiropractor first, but was not seeing any improvement at all.   Once I began seeing Dr. St. John, I saw improvements almost immediately.  Now, only three months after beginning treatment, my symptoms are gone.  My hand is back to normal, and I no longer have to deal with the pain, numbness or weakness that had been driving me crazy for over a year.  Along with this, I have lost 20 lbs, have more energy than I have ever had, my acne has cleared dramatically, and I feel great overall!  It truly is amazing what changing your eating habits and getting on a nutritional plan can do!  C.M.
