My name is Vince, I’m from Medicine Hat, Alberta, and I’ve been with Dr. Lam’s
nutritional program for a year.
It’ll be eight months since I first started and I heard about Dr. lam through a friend
at church who had gone through similar problems.
I was telling her about my symptoms and she said to, first of all read his book, she lent
me her copy of Dr. Lam’s Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome book.
So, I read that and I started looking for a doctor here in town that could possibly
help me, and nobody really seemed to understand my problem or -I didn’t really think it
was-that Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome was a real thing, and I’m quite thankful to have found
Dr. Lam because it’s been a huge help for me.
Before the program I was extremely tired, I couldn’t even stay awake even for maybe,
well I wouldn’t say awake but let’s just say before the program I was basically in
bed except for about 4-5 hours a day, to eat or to shower or do some little necessary things.
I was extremely anxious, I would have panic attacks and my heart would be racing, I was
dizzy.
I was really like, uncoordinated.
I was losing my balance, and I actually thought I had like a serious neurological disease
which is one of the first reasons I went to see a doctor in the first place.
I was having trouble just even getting through the day in terms of my emotional health, I
was really easily angered and really reactionary towards my kids, it’s not a good place to
be at all.
During the program I started to feel little by little better everyday and I started feeling
more like myself, had more energy.
I was able to get out of bed and actually walk around and I was able to visit with people
again.
I was able to spend more time with my kids.
The dizziness slowly went away.
The fatigue that I had that, which you know, kept me in bed for long periods of time was
slowly going away and I was actually able to start exercising eventually, and I was
able to return back to work full time, where as before the program, I was only able to
work part time for a little bit, and I was able to get to work full time, was able to
start running and to start exercising again, and now I feel amazing!
I feel like, better than I did before I had Adrenal Fatigue.
I mean I still have a bit of lingering tiredness here and there, but I feel like a different
person, I feel a lot more calm.
I feel a lot more like I’m able to balance out my emotional health, and I don’t have
anymore joint pain that I used to have.
My muscles don’t get super tired and weak.
I feel like a new person!
If anybody else is going through something like this, if you’re experiencing Adrenal
Fatigue, or if you are feeling really not yourself, if your emotions are all over the
place, if you’re really anxious, if you’re struggling with getting over that cycle of
anxiety and you’re feeling really depressed, Dr. Lam’s program is a great idea and I
highly recommend it to anybody with any kind of Adrenal Fatigue problem or any kind of
anxiety issue, or anything like that.
Yeah.
I guess a few other symptoms I had before I went in the program: my joints were extremely
painful, my vision was actually a bit blurry.
I remember one day only being able to...Actually I went out for a walk, I was feeling a little
bit okay for the first half of the walk, and just to put things in perspective, a few months
before this in the summer time I went on like a 20 kilometer hike with a 40 pound backpack
on my back doing some backcountry camping and I still had tons of energy after that,
and then 3 months later when the Adrenal Fatigue really set in and I was at my lowest point,
this is where I decided to finally go for a walk for the first time in a while and I
remember walking maybe 5 minutes and being so exhausted.
I got to this park bench and I remember thinking “Am I going to be able to even walk back
home?”
I was so tired and it was really scary because I had never, you know, I’m fairly young
and to go through those kind of symptoms was really weird and it came on quite suddenly
for me.
So, all i have to say, I’m now able to go backcountry camping again, and I’m planning
a trip that’s somewhere with some really good friends of mine and I’m really looking
forward to being able to do it with full energy, and not be anxious about stuff, and being
able to relax and being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and just my time with them.
And that is my story.
