Melissa's life changed in May 2009. Melissa had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and bi-polar. Despite being on seven medications that were supposed to make her feel better, she felt she was in a downward spiral. With constant digestive problems, poor sleep, headaches, back and leg pain, she was unable to clean homes, walk, or have a social life. What bothered her most was that her confidence and self esteem were low and getting lower all the time. She questioned if the medications were helping, but she didn't want to stop them for fear things would get even worse. As she felt worse, she was prescribed more and more medication. She saw her family doctor, OB/GYN, therapist, psychologist and neurologist who all told she is the best they could do and she would have to learn to live with it. Melissa always knew at some level there had to be something else.  AND...that is when she stumbled (almost literally) into us at a local family health fair.

After listening to what was really going on with Melissa, we were able to pinpoint some problems within her body that needed to be corrected and balanced again.  Through chiropractic and a targeted nutrition program, Melissa has lost a lot of weight, has greater energy, her headaches are gone, her thinking is much clearer, her social life is picking up again, and she is able to work without pain. 

Melissa is still getting used to all the attention and questions she gets as she sees people she hasn’t seen in a while who do not recognize her. She gladly tells them how she got where she is today and continues to enjoy her newfound health and vitality. She would definitely recommend Muskego Health & Wellness to other people looking to regain their health and their lives. 

With 2010 just around the corner, most of us will be making our New Year’s Resolutions. Inevitably, most people will once again say they want to lose weight and/or feel healthier. How did you do in 2009?  If you fell short, then you may want to read this testimonial and take notes…

In July 2009, Sue decided she needed to find a solution to her headaches, weight problem, and overall lack of well being. The dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea that came with her headaches twice a month were getting old. She got some relief with a couple medications if they were taken at the right moment, but she didn’t want to take the meds that only covered up the symptoms and were not solving a problem. She was also a bit frustrated about her weight gain. Through a referral from her neighbor, Sue heard about us and the rest is history. 

Sue has not has a headache since starting her program in July and now has an “overall feeling of well.” By October she went from a size 12 to a size 8. Today, Sue is working at maintaining her new body and newfound health. She (and her family) couldn’t be happier. 

We met Wendy W.  In September 2008. Wendy was struggling to get through her day. She was not feeling well (miserable in fact) and this impacted her whole family. She did not like the person she was becoming because of how her headaches, vertigo and low energy impacted her life. 

When speaking with Wendy, it was evident that she greatly wanted to feel better and be healthier for herself and her family. She was not willing to just live with the symptoms as she had been told to do by other doctors.

We were able to pinpoint for Wendy why she was feeling the way she was and why her health was on the decline.  After following her individualized program for 1 ½-2 months, Wendy’s life has changed significantly. “The program has changed the way I think, drink, and eat. It was exactly what I needed to regain the person I’ve always wanted to be.  My health has been renewed and my attitude has changed in such a positive way.  I am so much healthier and happier.”

Jill did not like feeling bad all the time. The constant sluggishness, bloating and uncomfortable feelings were beginning to wear her down. She was beginning to believe all the doctors telling her “It’s just the way your body is. Just live with it.”

After listening to Jill, it was obvious that she needed to find answers to her problems. There was still energy and vitality deep down inside her somewhere. You could tell by speaking with her that she is one of those people you just want to be around. We needed to get her back to feeling like her old self (or better!)

Two months after our first meeting, Jill has lost 14 pounds, feels not only better, but more confident about herself, and knows she is on the road to a better life. She attributes much of her success to avoiding the hidden food allergies she did not know she had.

“Without a doubt, I recommend others to Dr. Jurack. I have gotten better results from Dr. Jurack in 2 months than all the other Dr’s I’ve seen in the past 15 years. I would never have believed I could feel this good. It is not an easy road, but definitely one worth taking. I should have come to see Dr. Jurack years ago! What a difference!”

Stephanie W. knew her health was on the decline and that she could be feeling a lot better. She saw people around her who were patients of MHWC making positive lifestyle changes and reaping the health rewards.  She wanted that for herself. The months of not sleeping because of hot flashes, suffering from irritable bowel, medicating herself to try and help her cholesterol and thyroid numbers, and being overweight and not fitting into her clothes were taking their toll on how she felt inside and out. 

Stephanie decided enough was enough and began her journey to better health in May 2008. After listening to her situation and concerns, we looked at how her body was functioning as a whole. It was determined that a detoxification program and making some lifestyle modifications would be the right course of action. Stephanie admits her initial thoughts of making these changes were almost frightening, but within 10 days, she began feeling completely better. She then realized that the program really wasn’t nearly as bad as she thought it would be. Within 24 days, she had lost 11 pounds and was able to fall asleep easily, without terrible hot flashes. 

Stephanie now has a new outlook on life and realizes “the things we used to do, or what we were taught, are not always the best thing for us.”  She still cannot believe the good results she has achieved and highly recommends the holistic approach at MHWC to others who may be suffering from unnecessary illness.

Kira came to our clinic in January 2008 feeling like there was nothing that could help her. She had seen just about every kind of doctor and had tried numerous treatments including more and more medications. She hoped there was more out there for her and knew she was too young to just give up. Kira got to this point in her life due to a car accident 11 years ago.

After listening to Kira’s situation and concerns, we were able to put the pieces of the puzzle together and design a chiropractic and nutritional program just for her to begin healing. At the time she wrote this testimonial, she was feeling the closest to “normal” that she had in a long time. “It’s been wonderful”. Her infections have cleared up, she is on less medication, her brain fog is lifted, her night sweats are gone, her pain and headaches are reduced and she is getting the best sleep of her life! She is living again and urges everyone to not hesitate getting the individual care at MHWC. “The treatments have been a blessing. Give it an honest to goodness try.”

Ashley P. came to our clinic in the fall of 2007 with autoimmune type symptoms. These symptoms started in May 2006 and by October 2006, became so severe she did not feel she was alive. “I had no life and spent my days fatigued and in pain.”

Ashley saw her primary doctor, rheumatologist, allergist, ENT, gastroenterologist and a TMJ specialist. Despite much time, money and frustration, she was only given more and more medications for her symptoms.

Within 4-6 weeks of starting care at MHWC, Ashley reports she no longer has to depend on medications to make it through the day. She has 100 times more energy and enthusiasm and loves her life. “It has completely flipped my life around for the better. It is the real deal.” Ashley states that her recommended program at MHWC wasn’t always easy, but it was completely worth it.  She now shares her experience with anyone who will listen. 

Maria C. first came to our office in January 2007. Her main complaint was an inability to go to the bathroom. Everything she ate made her feel sick to her stomach. She was even having fainting episodes that seemed to be related to the stomach pain. She was unable to sleep at night due to the pain.

Maria saw a variety of gastroenterologists and endocrinologists that performed numerous procedures including blood tests, colonoscopy, glucose test, endoscopy, cardiovascular tilt test, CT scans and sonograms. She was given medication to help her go to the bathroom and to help her sleep. The medications made her go to the bathroom, but the other symptoms were still present. She was told she would have to live with the problem because there was no medical explanation as to why the digestive tract was not moving.

Since beginning care at MHWC, the causes of Maria’s problems were identified through muscle testing for total body function and food sensitivities. She has some food sensitivities that cause her digestive tract to slow down, and this creates a lot of bloating and pain. It was also diagnosed that Maria had misalignments in her spine where the nerves that control the digestive tract exit. This was causing the digestive tract function to be disrupted too. Her absorption of nutrients was being compromised, leading to hormonal imbalances, restlessness, and lack of stamina to perform daily activities.

After following the recommended program, by April 2007, Maria was sleeping again and waking up well rested, she had no fainting spells, and she was eliminating regularly. She now has the energy to teach third graders, perform daily activities, and be the mother of her two great children.

Maria really believes her future will be better due to the care she received. She emphasizes to others that may be suffering unnecessary illness that healing is a process and that it doesn’t happen overnight. You will get there. She highly recommends this approach to others and is having her children evaluated too in order to optimize their health and prevent future problems.

In July 2006, Alicia T. came to our clinic with MS symptoms that were becoming life altering. She had spent thousands of dollars over the years going to a variety of specialists. The results were surgeries and more diagnoses on top of her MS. She was told to take more and more medications and learn to live with the problem.

Since becoming a patient, she has found relief without medications. She has noticed more energy, fewer headaches, correction of her irritable bowel, fewer sinus problems, and more strength in her muscles.

Alicia feels her future is better due to the care she received and is looking forward to continued improvements. She “most definitely” recommends the care she received at Muskego Health & Wellness Center to others who suffer unnecessary illness.
