S.L., Age 42
For seven years I suffered with hours of uncertainly and frustration and difficulty mustering the energy to work and take care of my family. If only I had met Dr. Veruschka Torosian earlier, life could have been much different. It started shortly after my pregnancy and giving birth to my baby. The same year I had a frightening seizure. I consulted a neurologist and was required to take an anti-seizure drug with potential serious side effects like exhaustion, facial disfiguration, interruption of cognitive function and calcium depletion. More symptoms, more serious drugs for sleeplessness, anxiety and stress. My life was almost unrecognizable and in my early 40’s I looked back with regret at my child baring years for the time spent wasted, battling this mystery. I kept reviewing the chain of events over and over in my head and with all of my health care providers. How could a perfectly healthy young woman become so ill and wasn’t there some connection among the series of health events, some common denominator.
My mother, heart broken watching me struggle and my body telling a sad story with a constant tremor, begged me see Dr. Torosian. After a comprehensive evaluation of my life, diet, health history and my medication, Dr. Torosian realized that I had serious nutritional deficiencies among them extremely low calcium levels and other important minerals to help brain function. I started the nutritional supplementation immediately, made the necessary changes in my diet and learned to do relaxation exercises and deep breathing. My tremors resolved within 24 hours. Dr. Torosian also diagnosed my anxiety and stress and what it did to my body over the years. She recommended supplements that help balancing stress hormones and strengthen and repair the nervous system. My anxiety has subsided and I feel calmer, stronger and more focused. After just two months on the doctor’s nutrition and supplement plan, I was able to reduce the anti-seizure drug and gratefully welcomed the return of my energy. I can’t believe I was so sick for so long and I am thrilled to have my life back. I’m back to 99% on my healthy scale and owe it all to Dr. Veruschka Torosian. I am grateful to be able to enjoy my family in activities I was not able to previously do and I realize how important my health is, not only to me but also to them. I am a great believer in the integrative approach of a wonderful doctor who gave me back my life.
