CASE STUDY – DELEEN
July 2007

Patient:  Deleen – Age 55

Diagnosis from Medical Doctor
Osteoporosis – (Beginning)

Dr. Lori met Deleen at St. Vincent’s hospital while both were waiting for an ultra sound.  Deleen, after hearing about natural and alternative health care, was excited to come to the Center for Enzyme Therapy.  She was even more excited to learn that we had extraordinary results in getting the bone density back to normal.

It was about 2 years later, when she came to the Center and said she had been carrying Dr. Lori’s card in her handbag and decided it was time to have an appointment.  Her two main concerns was the onset of osteoporosis and very low vitamin D levels.

First appointment:
During the appointment she expressed low energy, leg cramps, restless leg syndrome, and digestion not so good at times.  Her main concern, of course, was the osteoporosis matter.

To get her body in balance and address her concerns we recommended the following:

Nutritionally she was advised to:

Supplement Recommendations:

Supplement Recommendations:
Same supplementation as before except Vitazyme was added:

Third appointment (1 month later):
She said she felt like she was a new person her body was in balance.  Her digestion, absorption and elimination was working well.  She didn’t have any leg cramps or any restless leg problem.  She had great energy and loved the Vitazyme.

Supplement Recommendations:
Same supplementation as before.

She came into the Center with a big smile to get her supplements, is still on the program and feels great.

Six months after she started on the program, she came into the Center and got products and said she was going for a bone density and Vitamin D test at the hospital the next day and would let us know the results.

The next day she came running into the Center, and all the way from the hospital she had been trying to figure out how many flowers and balloons it would take to fill the whole Center because her bone density test was better than average and for the first time in her life, her Vitamin D count was normal.  And, I got a big kiss on the cheek!

This was one of the most rewarding cases I have ever had.

CASE STUDY – BRIAN
August  1999

Patient:  Brian  -  28 years old

Diagnosis from Medical Doctor:
Severe IBS

Brian had been suffering from Irritable Bowl Syndrome for about a year until it became so bad that he finally went to a Medical Doctor.  After he was diagnosed and was given a prescription, he finally decided to take his Mother’s advice and come to see Dr. Charlie and Dr Lori at the Oswego Center for Natural Health.

His Mother and Father had both been clients for several years and had been very faithful in taking their enzyme supplements.  The both had had digestive problems along with several other issues (prostate and hormone).

First appointment:
It was no wonder that Brian had dysfunctions.  What he ate and drank was disgusting.  He was overweight, somewhat depressed, lethargic, and because of the IBS did not have a good social life.

We had known him for some time and he just got off track. We counseled with him about nutrition and he realized what he had to do and was willing to do whatever it took.  The first thing was to get his body in balance as far as the IBS was concerned.

He was told to avoid simple sugars and products containing them.  Avoid refined processed foods and increase fiber intake from fruits and vegetables.  No lettuce or vegetables that are sharp because the gastro intestinal track is raw and can be cut easily.

Supplement Recommendations:
Digestive Enzyme – 3 capsules, 3x day (start of each meal)
ProDophilusFOS (Probiotic) – 2 capsules upon rising, 2 at bedtime
Vitamin C Plus - 3 capsules per day
Vitazyme – 1 capsule with breakfast, 2 with lunch
B-Complex Plus - 2 capsules per day with meal

Second Appointment (2 weeks later):

He looked much more relaxed and happy when he came into the office.  He had lost 4 lbs. and felt like this was going to be change in his life.

He was being very good with what he was eating and taking all his supplements.  He was not having the cramps in the lower abdomen; not as much pain with bowel movements; diarrhea was getting less frequent, less upset stomach, and more energy.

Supplementation:
He continued with the supplement program he was on.

Third Appointment (1 month later):

It was amazing how far Brian had come.  He had lost 10 more pounds, diarrhea was all but gone, and feeling great.

He wanted to continue with the same supplements and said he would be back in 2 months.

He didn’t come back but his parents did.  We asked about Brian and they said he didn’t come back because he fell back to his old habits.  But this time it was much more serious.  He had to go to the emergency room because he got so bad that they thought he was dying.  After he was in the hospital for a week, they told him they were going to have to operate and take out part of his colon.  That was a real wake up call.

He told his parents that he wasn’t going to have the operation and that he wanted to come back and have us work with him again and that he absolutely would be compliant with everything we advised him to do.

He went back on the same routine as before.  It took a while longer this time for him to get his body back into balance, but after six months he was a different person.  Six years later he is still on track except now he has a wife and two beautiful children.  He says he will never again abuse his body.

CASE STUDY – JOHNSON CHILDREN
July 1997

Patients:  Same family:
Boy – 9 months old – Randy
Girl – 2 years old – Laura
Boy – 4 years old – Brad

Diagnosis from Medical Doctor:
Severe allergies – each child

The three children had been going to an Allergist twice a week for some time getting allergy shots.  One day, when Mrs. Johnson and children were in the allergist’s office, a woman sitting next to them suggested that they go see Dr. Charlie as he was helping many children with allergy concerns.

During the initial appointment, Mrs. Johnson said the children had had allergies all their lives and sometimes there were reactions to the shots.  Other than the allergies and slightly low immune systems, the children were in good health.

First appointment:
Dr. Charlie explained how Protease enzyme breaks down the protein coating on the allergy cells and this could be one the answers for the children.  In addition to the Protease, he suggested full spectrum Digestive enzyme and ProDophilusFOS, (probiotic) to balance the body. He educated Mrs. Johnson on how the enzymes and probiotics work in the body and how to get the body in balance through digestion, absorption and elimination.

Protease enzyme taken on an empty stomach goes into the blood steam immediately and starts breaking down the coating on the allergens so they can be eliminated from the body.  Digestive enzymes are taken with food and break down the different food groups, i.e., protein, fats, and carbohydrates.  The body then gets the necessary nutrients.  The probiotic helps with absorption of the nutrients, keeps the pH in balance, builds good flora and helps with elimination.  These three products help to build the immune system.

Supplement Recommendations: (Because the children were so young, we decided that rather than taking the capsules in tact, we would open the capsule and put it in their drink and their food.  (Protease taken on an empty stomach immediately goes into the blood stream and Protease taken with food breaks down foods that contain protein.)

UPON RISING—

PROTEASE – one (1) capsule immediately upon rising.  It was suggested to open the capsule and  put it in
a small amount of orange or apple juice. Or Put the opened capsule in a tablespoon of Applesauce. (Wait about 15 minutes)

ProDophilus FOS – one (1) capsule (Follow directions above.) (Then have breakfast)

BREAKFAST—–

DIGESTIVE – one (1) capsule.  Can be opened and mixed with food.  (It does not have any taste.)

LUNCH——

DIGESTIVE- one (1) capsule.  Can be opened and mixed with food.

DINNER—–

DIGESTIVE–one (l) capsule.  Can be opened and mixed with food.

JUST BEFORE BED—

PROTEASE – same instructions as Upon Rising. (No food for approximately 2 hours before taking the Protease.)

Second appointment (2 weeks later):
The children were significantly improved.  None of the three were having the same amount of symptoms or attacks.  They were happier and did not have any problem taking the supplements.

We decided to keep them on the same amount of supplements.

Third appointment (1 month later):
Again, the children were improving.  The mother and father were ecstatic. 
They were going to stay on the same supplementation.

3 months after 1st appointment:
They decided they didn’t need to come in for an office visit for a while because the kids were doing so well.  But, they were going to stay on the supplements and decided that because they helped the kids so much, they were going to take the supplements, too, and get their bodies back into balance.

CASE STUDY – MORRIS CHILDREN
May 2001

Patients:  Same family:
One six (6) year old boy – John
Twins (boy and girl) four (4) years old – Carrie & Curt

Diagnosis from Medical Doctor:
ADD & ADHD

The parents had come to the conclusion, after much research, that vaccinations were the cause of their dysfunctions.  Because the MD had the children on several prescription drugs, and the diet was very restrictive, they decided to change doctors and go the natural route.

The parents were arguing all the time as the Mother went along 100% with the MD’s protocol and the Father was very upset because he felt that the children were in ‘prison’ and were not able to be “just children”. Someone suggested to them that they go to Oswego Center for Natural Health/Center for Enzyme Therapy and see Dr. Charlie Hallquist for functional nutrition.

The initial appointment determined the children were gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant, not digesting well, and most importantly, sad.

Dr. Charlie, being the old country doctor type, bonded immediately with the children.  The parents, however, were a problem because of their ideas of how to raise the children, find a happy medium to get them well, and let them be children.

First appointment:
Take them off all gluten, sugar and milk products and get their bodies in balance through Digestion, Absorption and Elimination.
Supplement Recommendations:
Digestive
3 capsules, 3x day (start of each meal)
ProDophilusFOS
2 capsules upon rising, 2 at bedtime
L-Taurine
5 drops, 2x day
Flax Seed Oil
1 capsule
Magnesium
1 capsule, 2x day
Epsom Salts
1 cup in bath at night (Because Epsom Salts is Magnesium, it very calming)

Second Appointment (2 weeks later):
Parents were pleased with the improvement in their digestion, feeling all around better, increased good energy and more importantly less ADD & ADHD symptoms.

Dr. Charlie and Dr. Lori, counseled with the parents and helped them come to an agreement wherein the children could have a slice of pizza, ice cream cone or whatever they desired once or twice a week.  If they went to a Birthday party or some other similar function, they could have some of the special treats.

Supplement recommendation:
Continued taking the supplements but added
Vitazyme
1 capsule with Breakfast

Third Appointment (1 month later):
It is a completely different family.  The children are happier and the parents are happier.  The children’s bodies were more in balance and their behavior was becoming more normal.

They were still maintaining their good eating regiment, along with having a treat once in a while.

Supplement recommendation:
Continued taking all the supplements

After six and one-half years since their first visit, they are still taking most of the same supplements.  The parents have been a little more tolerant with kinds of food, but they know their limitations and know signs when they get too many goodies.

They are like grandchildren to us now.
