Written testimonials from some of our patients:

Just wanted to once again say THANK YOU for giving us our daughter Brandy back. After her time with you in August and September of 2004 she has been in perfect health. She graduated with honors from the University of Houston last December, with a degree in Business and Marketing. She is now working in sales for Icon Magazine. She is able to sail again which is one of her true loves. No one who hasn't experienced the pure hell of watching your child go from All State and College Athlete to a crumpled, dibilated cripple can understand just what a miracle the work you do is. A young woman came to you with no hope and returned home with her entire life in front of her and she is taking full advantage of her second chance. God Bless you and the work you do.

On arriving to Dr. Whitcomb office the follwoign patient could not carry on a normal conversation, was a typical severe fibromyalgia patient with the pain, insomnia, depression. But in her case she also had no feeling in her ankles and feet, was very dizzy and rambled terribly. Also because of her disabilities she did not take bathes nor showers. These are some of her notes she brought in during her first two months of treatment. By three months she got feeling back in her feet, lost her dizziness and was able to take showers again. She had been house bound for 19 years and now walks regularly and enjoys gardening. This patient was 73 years of age. This was written two weeks into treatment.

Today, April 30th, 2001 I have come out of my cocoon.When I was 18, I hit my head on the bottom of the swimming pool, diving in to the shallow end, by mistake. After many years of struggling: I found Dr. Paul Whitcomb. His program was exactly what I had prayed for. I knew it would work for me. Today after seven treatments... Dr. Paul called me his miracle girl and he is right, that is what it is, a miracle.

May 2nd, 2001 Head is clearing, thinking better. Hearing, mostly on. Eyes, vision near normal (was tunnel vision before). Neck, almost normal. Hands and feet, periods of total cold, feet look red. Knees are painful. Left knee sprains at times. Weak. Ankles Feel stiff, sort of numb. Emotions: In control. Feeling: Coming back. It's a whole new thing, I have to be aware of what the body tells me I can do. I get very shaky when I go fast. I know what is happening, it is all good and healing. I am taking leaps and bounds. Like the dam has been opened and the water is able to go through. And I am in awe of all of this.

I am a 35 year old stay at home wife and mother of 2 (ages 3 and 5). I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome when I was 17 years old. I have been to every type of doctor for the last 15 years and tried many alternative treatments over the years.

After moving to South Lake Tahoe temporarily in Feb 2001 I had a terrible flare up and luckily found Dr. Paul Whitcomb. After one adjustment I felt tremendously better. And after a few weeks of treatment was a new person. I am now moving back to Texas and hope I can find a doctor as knowledgeable and sympathetic as Dr. Whitcomb. He has made the last few months of my life worth living. Thank you Dr. Whitcomb.

Dear Dr. Whitcomb

On March 1, 2001 I began coming to you for treatment for unknown medical problems. After visiting the emergency room on Nov 13, 2000 followed by visits to numerous Specialists and regular Drs., I still did not have a diagnosis nor any relief from my medical situation.

When I had my first visit with you, these were my symptoms: severe headaches (continuously), dizziness (couldn't walk without holding on), double vision/color blindness in right eye, tingling sensations from knees down on right side, tremors on right side of body and short term memory loss.

After three sessions, my severe headache disappeared. By April 15th, the double vision and color blindness problem along with the dizziness went away. My memory is improving and the tingling sensation has drastically improved. Even the tremors on the right side of my body have improved.

It is now July 6th, 2001 and I am 5000% better than when I first saw you on March 1st. I continue to have bi-weekly treatments. Because of your accurate diagnosis and treatment, I was able to return to work after having been off nearly 8 weeks.
Respectfully,
Nancy

I suffered a head injury in the winter of 2001 due to a snowboarding accident. While riding full speed down the mountain I caught an edge and landed directly on my head and the weight of my body had twisted my neck back. I could not move for 10 minutes and finally walked the rest of the way down the mountain to the lodge in a daze. Not knowing I had just had a concussion and a possible head injury I chose not to see a doctor even though I was in a lot of pain.

Over the next year I would suffer strange symptoms that I could only guess at. what might be wrong. with time. I would get extremely dizzy and at times would lose my vision where I could not focus my eyes.

I was more tired than usual and was losing interest in work and other things. I also had extremely bad headaches and anxiety. which I figured were due to the stress of running my business.These symptoms became worse as time passed, the anxiety and headaches increased and I began to feel depressed. I thought I possibly might have a brain tumor because the dizziness and headaches were getting worse.

In the two and one half weeks before I visited Dr Whitcomb the state I was in was almost unbearable for me. My body was in constant pain and I had no energy. At nights I could not sleep, the pain was so intense. During the day I would just lay on my couch wrapped in a blanket. The headaches and constant pain made it impossible for me to go to work during those two and one half weeks. I thought that maybe I was dying.

I made an appointment with Dr. Whitcomb. I was desperate to do something about my condition and yet still would not go to a doctor because I figured they would just give me pain killers and other meds.

After the first week of treatments I noticed quite a significant improvement in my condition. The constant pain had subsided and I was able to sleep through the night again. I decided to continue the treatments. After almost 2 months of treatments I feel better than I've felt since before my snowboarding injury. The headaches and dizziness gone. I no longer have problems with my vision and I am not in any pain at all. I feel like a new person and I'm still amazed at how much better I feel – 100% better.
