Testimonial from Maria L

Wednesday, August 23, 2017 / Testimonials

I experienced increasing muscle and joint stiffness as a young mother back in 1998 and thought it was due to new parenthood combined with work responsibilities.  For the next 18 years I chased a solution to this chronic pain and stiffness, which was eventually attributed to psoriatic arthritis.  I had steroid injections, used prescription painkillers, prescription anti-inflammatories and immune suppressant medications, which did little to significantly improve my pain and stiffness.  When I was referred to Margaret, I was barely walking 200 feet without experiencing severe lower back pain and the need to sit down.  I gained 40 pounds, was chronically tired and was experiencing all sorts of digestive symptoms.  At 52 I had almost thrown in the towel.

Margaret helped me identify my trigger foods and helped me remove them from my diet.  I now wake up in the morning feeling alert and the stiffness and low back pain have virtually disappeared.  I started to notice improvement after 4 weeks and I continue to improve each month as I regain strength and mobility.  I want the medical world to listen and understand how simple it can be to help somebody if you first consider their diet.  Margaret’s assessment tool makes this an easy process to do.
