"This is probably the first appointment I've experienced that sounds very promising for my future."

I've been off prescription medications now for about two weeks and continuing to follow your plan (mostly)...so even though you are not a doctor, you're the only one who has been able to come up with a plan that has turned things around for me, so thank you very much!"
