Cathey’s Heart Was Struggling to Pump.
When Cathey arrived at Whitaker Wellness more than 2 years ago, her heart was operating at only 15%. She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
She visited numerous doctors and hospitals only to be prescribed an increasing number of medications that offered nothing but negative side effects. Cathey became so weak that simply eating a small meal made her feel like she just ran a marathon. Her doctors at the time recommended invasive surgeries and told her that there was no help for her conditions. Fortunately, Cathey pursued other options and, with the help of family, found her way to Whitaker Wellness.
Cathey Started Life Anew
After 3 weeks at Whitaker Wellness, Cathey’s ejection fraction improved, doubling to 30%, and she was walking comfortably without a wheelchair. She was treated with powerful natural therapies, carefully administered by expert staff, and enrolled herself in the clinic’s Back to Health Program for education, guidance and camaraderie that would propel her to make important lifestyle changes when she returned home.
More than two years later, Cathey is very active and her interest in the hobbies she loved doing before her dramatic decline in health—has been restored. She is working on her artwork again and is back to cooking delicious meals. Meanwhile, Cathey is planning her next “tune-up” at Whitaker Wellness in the fall. She is looking forward to other therapies such as Adult Stem Cell Therapy and External Enhanced Counterpulsation (EECP).
Some of Cathey’s treatments included:
Intravenous (IV) Nutrients
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Microcurrent
Prolotherapy
Acupuncture
Reflexology
Back to Health Program
“Thank You for Not Giving Up on Me”
Read Cathey’s own words as she describes her personal unforgettable experience:
“I was a patient at the Whitaker Wellness Institute earlier this year. It was an experience I will never forget. When I arrived, I was in a wheelchair and my heart was operating at only 15%. I had congestive heart failure. I went to one of our local hospitals last year because I had pneumonia. My heart was racing and of course I was given drugs, both orally and intravenously. Upon returning home I became weaker with each passing day until I wasn’t able to even eat a small amount of food without feeling like I had just run a marathon. My heart was struggling to pump, and walking was becoming next to impossible. I got so bad I was unable to get up out of the chair without assistance. This was rough for a person who enjoys hiking, artwork, and tennis.
“I had been receiving your newsletter, and a friend who owns a health food store in our area told me about your clinic. After spending money and time in hospitals and getting worse with each visit, my wish was to be a patient at your facility. At the beginning of the year, my dear sister and brother-in-law surprised me with the news that I would be going to your wonderful facility.
“Since 2008 my life has been a downward spiral of drugs, hospital stays, and threats of impending doom if I didn’t agree to the scary and invasive procedures that doctors told me I needed. I was also told that there was no help for congestive heart failure or atrial fib. I do a lot of reading, and I know that there is help for both of these problems. My beliefs were confirmed when I spoke with the wonderful professionals at the Whitaker Wellness Institute.
“Upon entering the Whitaker Wellness Institute, I had an immediate feeling of positivity. As I met each doctor and each person who administered treatments, I felt a strong feeling of HOPE. Every person who touched our lives at the Institute really cared about us individually. What a wonderful feeling. They take time to listen and talk to the patients. In your marvelous facility, you’ve captured the essence of true healing and I felt it with each person that I came into contact with.
“I must admit that I was a bit difficult when I first came into the facility, but thank you for not giving up on me. Getting all of these wonderful professionals working in one facility says a lot about you and the caring you have for mankind. Keep your fingers crossed and whisper a little prayer for me, I’d like to come back for a tune-up.”
