“I kept telling myself she’d grow out of it, but after my wife came to me time and time again telling me that there was something wrong with our daughter’s ability to focus, I could no longer bury my head in the sand and believe it would go away by itself.  We had to do something, but the thought of taking her to Kaiser was difficult.  More than likely she would be diagnosed with some form of ADD and prescribed medication.  Neither of us wanted that for our sweet little girl.  This led us to a visit with Andrea.  She noticed signs of food allergies and vitamin deficiency right away.  She had us put our daughter on a fairly strict detox diet for a period of time and have blood work and a urine test performed.  Within a few days of starting the detox my wife and I noticed a significant improvement.  Never before would our daughter sit and draw if the television was on.  Prior to the detox, she would zone out completely while watching a program.  Her teacher at school remarked on her paying better attention in class.  And this is just the beginning.  She has had marked improvements in multiple areas this past month.  We can’t wait to see how she turns out once we know what foods to completely avoid and what vitamins she needs to put her body back in proper balance.”

Thank you, Andrea.
