Before having my child I was a sportive, fit and healthy person. 2 months after giving birth I experienced extreme pain on my hands and shoulders.
After having done many tests no one knew what I had. I was followed by one of the best rheumatologist in a private hospital who diagnosed me with palindromic rheumatism (which means they don’t know what you have but they put you in a category until new symptoms come out).
The 1st year I had many injections; the 2nd year I went into remission. The 3rd year the disease came back. The 4th year was hell. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was experiencing extreme pain every day. I was living on ibuprofen and strong medication every day. I couldn’t walk to the nearest tube station so I was always at home without seeing the day light, my 4 years old son was dragging me out of bed in the morning, my body was so stiff and painful I could not get dressed on my own or just open a bottle of water…
In January, I have decided, I had enough to follow traditional medicine (with lack of tests, no cure, no hope, lack of interest from specialists, no alternative solution, they just give pills to patients that are damaging their body and health even more).
I decided to stop working on my own business and get back on track. I found out that some people got into remission with the help of functional practitioners; this is where I met Steve. Taking this decision was one of the best choices I have even done in my life.
He asked me to perform some specific tests and from this we discovered some digestive infections.
Over the next few months Steve devised a holistic treatment plan which ultimately addressed the underlying imbalances noted on the tests.
Many of my symptoms have gone gradually: constant brain fog, horrendous exhaustion, hives (my whole body was covered with red itchy patches).
Steve advised around dietary and lifestyle changes to support me long term.
After few months of diet my arthritic symptoms have reduced considerably by 70%.
One year on and my RA symptoms have gone by 90/95%. I found a new senior role in a company and I love my new job, I have unbelievable energy, people think I am 10 years younger than my age, I have no hives or blurry vision symptoms anymore, I sleep well, I do not take painkillers anymore, I don’t have any flare ups, my immune system is getting stronger.
After 5 years of complete inactivity I am now able to bike with my little boy, I am exercising gently and live a normal life full of dreams, hope and happiness.
This is a long journey and my trip is not finished yet. It requires lots of hard work and dedication but I could not have been where I am now without Steve’s expertise, help and support!
He genuinely care about his patients, whatever the health issue I have encountered he was there to find an alternative solution to heal my body to the road of recovery.
If you are experiencing any health issues and looking for an alternative, yet science-based approach and a supportive and empathetic cate, I can’t recommend Steve highly enough!
Thank you xxx
