ABA Family Chiropractic Allergy Elimination Patient Reviews

I would get up in the morning and go to the bathroom 5 or 6 times, until there was nothing left in me. I started to eliminate things from my diet, trying to get some relief. Yet nothing seemed to help. I was still working during this time, which only exhausted and dehydrated me further. I was weak, fatigued, light headed, having trouble maintaining my body temperature, had no appetite, and was losing weight fast. When I went to the GI doctor he ordered a blood test for Celiac disease, but it would take 10-14 days to get the results. I was so desperate for relief that I cut everything out of my diet except boiled chicken and rice.

One day I came home from work and called my mother-in-law to come watch over me. By the time she got to me I was sweating profusely. I told her I needed to go to the hospital. My hands and feet became numb and I started to shake. I was so weak I couldn’t stand, and I had trouble putting sentences together. My dad had to carry me to the car. When we got to the emergency room it took 2 IV bags to rehydrate me. The emergency room doctor and the attending gastroenterologist wanted to admit me for further testing , only to be denied admission by my family doctor. The next morning I woke up in the same state of health as the night before. Not knowing what to do, I told my wife that I needed to go back to the hospital. My family doctor made me come to his office before admitting me to the hospital.

After being admitted to the hospital I underwent a gauntlet of tests, including a colonoscopy, chest x-ray, countless blood tests, CAT scan, electrocardiogram, upper GI studies, 24hr. stool and urine analysis, and many more. After 7 days in the hospital I was discharged with a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome, I was down to 147 pounds (a loss of 18 pounds). I left with little to no information and in no better shape than when I was admitted. Most of the tests at the hospital had come back negative or normal. The only new information we had about my condition was that two of the tests showed that my body was not absorbing the fat that I was eating, and that I was also losing protein. In layman’s terms this meant that even though I was eating, I was starving to death.

While I was in the hospital I called my Chiropractor, and he recommended that I see Dr. Pickens. The day after I was released I called Dr. Pickens’ office, and the secretary had Dr. Pickens call me on his lunch hour. I told him what I was experiencing and he thought he could help. The next day Dr. Pickens worked me into his schedule even though he was leaving for vacation that evening. He spent over two hours with me, listening to and documenting my health history. He was able to identify two major problems at the time; he began by treating my most prominent issue.

After having spent a week in the hospital being poked and prodded and losing all sense of dignity with little to no results, Dr. Pickens’ testing method was painless and noninvasive. His testing is low tech but very precise. The first treatment with the cold laser seemed too good to be true. It was quick, easy, and totally painless. The effects of the treatment started working almost immediately. For the first time in a month I actually had an appetite. Over the course of six weeks he treated me for 5 different identified problems. With each of the treatments I never felt any ill effects and saw noticeable improvements. One of my problems was long standing lactose intolerance that I had been dealing with for a decade. He was able to correct the lactose intolerance with only two treatments. Dr. Pickens was able to help me in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional medicine, and the treatment worked.

Since seeing Dr. Pickens I have been able to return to work and a normal diet. I was very happy with the results. I recommended him to any one with digestive issues, or to any one with food allergies.

I have had digestive problems and sinus congestion my whole life. When I was tested for allergies by an M.D. allergist through blood tests and painful scratch tests, the tests were positive only for dust-mites. The doctor explained to me that there are different allergic responses and the scratch test only tests for IgE response. He said I could very well have other allergies, but they only test for things they can give shots for. Ouch! Dr. Pickens to the rescue! Through NAET, he does pain-free muscle testing for allergies. He has been treating me for allergies, and I can breathe through both nostrils now, and my digestive problems have virtually disappeared.

I am so pleased with what Dr. Pickens has done for me that I have put my precious grandchildren in his hands. He cured my nine year old’s daily headaches with chiropractic. Through NAET, we are eliminating their allergies and already see a big improvement in some bed-wetting problems. My three-year-old grandson is so thrilled with his treatments that he told me, “I wish I could get treated by Doctor Pickens everyday!”

When you see a surgeon, he recommends surgery. When you see an M.D., he recommends drugs. When you see Doctor Pickens, he has a more open-minded approach. He believes in treating the person and curing the root cause. He isn’t married to one method of treatment. He is a perfectionist with a wealth of knowledge and skill in chiropractic, NAET, muscle testing and nutritional supplements. Best of all, he takes the time to listen because he truly cares about you.

I used to have aches in my feet and hips, which I only had after eating red meat-I don’t have that pain anymore. Also, my hands used to have dry itchy patches of skin that cracked and bled. When I desensitized to RNA/DNA and plant fats, my hands cleared. They are normal! I don’t hide my hands now.

Another huge difference NAET has made in our lives is with my elementary school-age son. He was demanding, angry, irritable, irrational, and did not accept responsibility for his wrong doings. He was tired and had little to no attention span. Since he has been treated for the pertinent nutrients, he’s a pleasure to be around. He has made a huge turn around in the efficiency and quality of his school work (and chores). Thank-you Dr. Pickens!
