Child with Ulcerative Colitis
Dear Alane, than you so much for helping my son Jonathan! He is 10 years old now and has suffered with ulcerative colitis since he was just 7 years old. When I took him to the doctor he had tremendous stomach pain, completely bloody stools and vomited on a regular basis.
Jonathan was immediately put on a high dose of prednisone which helped his symptoms but gave him bad side effects. I still felt that if we could get to the underlying cause perhaps he could be treated. I shared this with several medical doctors who just did not see my perspective. They seemed to feel that it didn't mater what the underlying cause was.
It was not until I met with you and did your GI test, that I have felt that there may actually be light at the end of the tunnel. Jonathan was so sick when I took him to you (almost back to the original state 4 years ago). I had two options at this point - his GI specialist suggested that he undergo very serious medications to control his symptoms (so serious that I was told that the side effects could affect his vital organs and he would have to undergo routine blood tests every few weeks to make sure his body was okay). This terrified me! The other option was to take your advice. I have to tell you that I was skeptical that your regimen would work, but I was desperate. I did recognize and appreciate the knowledge base that you have and I could tell that you had experience in this area, which gave me comfort. You also told me that you prayed for wisdom and that was comforting as well.
I decided to try your recommendations rather than follow the GI doctor and it was definitely a wise move. The GI test was such a surprise! WOW! You found not one, but 3 parasites and 3 worms in my little boy. Those parasites and worms were probably in him from the very beginning of his symptoms! No other doc found these critters. And we will change his diet now since you have proven he has food intolerances. I put him on the supplements you suggested right away to get his symptoms under control. We did not see immediate results (but even the steroids did not produce immediate results). I knew that if your regimen caused some relief, it was "good stuff". Good stuff is an understatement, because I can honestly say that Jonathan has been symptom free since March 2006. It took about 3 weeks for the bleeding to stop and about 6 weeks for his bowel movements to normalize. In fact, this evening he said that he does not even feel like he has colitis.
Thank you so much for helping Jonathan and getting answers!

IBS improves!
I sought Alane's help for gas, bloating and weight gain. No one could find what was wrong with my stomach and why I was gaining so much weight. I did her gastro-intestinal panel and I was so surprised to find several harmful bacteria, a parasite and even E-Coli in me! She found two food allergies and discovered that I am gluten intolerant.
My symptoms are getting better, thank you!

IBS gone in 24 hours!
Dear Alane,
I have been your patient since June 2006. The results I have experienced are dramatic and wonderful! For twenty years I have had varying degrees of colon and bowel discomfort which have steadily and markedly increased in the last five years. I have been treated by both traditional physicians and doctors leaning towards a more homeopathic approach. I have read numerous articles, tried suggested supplements and recipes, with either little or no improvement. I can honestly say that within 24 hours of our very first visit, at which time I implemented your recommendations, I have experienced immediate and continuing improvement. This feels like a miracle to me! And I am so glad I took your GI test! I never would have known what was causing my bowel distress if I hadn't! I will continue to be your trusting patient and will follow your advice, looking forward to even stronger intestinal health and healing.
Thank you, thank you.

Chronic Psoriasis Improved!
I took my daughter to see Alane as a last resort after several visits to her pediatrician and different dermatologists. My daughter had a skin condition that continued to worsen and the doctors continued to prescribe steroid creams. The food allergy test Alane took determined that she was allergic to several foods that she was eating regularly. She was also lacking certain nutrients and had the GI panel showed she has a very serious parasite that can cause psoriasis symptoms.
Alane recommended we change her diet, eliminate the parasite and suggested a few supplements. I have seen a remarkable change in my daughter's skin! The dry, scaly and weeping sores are gone and so is the unbearable itching! THANK YOU Alane!

Insomniac Sleeping Again!
For about 15 years I have suffered from anxiety, weird eating habits, weight gain and insomnia. I never would have imagined the cause was due to the parasite toxoplasma that must have come from the cat I had 15 years ago.
Thank you! "Sleeping Again in GA"
Sudden IBS cured!
"I was all of a sudden suffering from stomach aches and loose movements. The doctors could not find anything wrong with me. Finally I decided to seek Alane's help whom I found browsing the web. She helped me locate my problem (a parasite) using a stool analysis test. Now I am on my way to recovery. Thank you Alane! I am grateful to you."

No More Crohn's!!
Thanks again for all your help...it's amazing how much better I feel! My doctor put me on medicine for Crohn's Disease and recommended certain foods to help with my symptoms. But my symptoms got worse. I won't go into unpleasant details, but they were interfering with my daily activities. I always had to be near a bathroom, and quick access. There was also severe cramping associated with these 'episodes'.
You told me you suspected that I had some food allergies, and which foods to avoid (more irony...I was to avoid some of the foods that my gastroenterologist recommended me eating). The morning after our first appointment, I went grocery shopping for the new foods you suggested. During that shopping trip, I had to run to the bathroom twice with severe cramps, etc. I will remember that morning clearly because it was the LAST TIME I had those symptoms! It was an overnight difference. The Gastro-Intestinal test we did came back and supported your suspicions that I was allergic to certain foods. I have been off the problem foods and the difference is amazing! My system is much more regulated, and I have not had those kinds of cramps since that morning. I have also been using the products you recommended (nutrients, vitamins) to help balance my intestinal system and I can tell a big difference in how I feel overall. I now have no difficulties at work and can go anywhere with my family without the fear of being stuck somewhere without a bathroom.
So, thanks again for your help. I've been bragging to my colleagues about how much better I feel; a few of them have problems of their own, so you may be hearing from them soon!!
Sincerely,
Ilene Hodges
I Am Feeling So Much Better!!
"Alane Palmer has helped me to rid my body of bacteria, parasites, pain and discomfort in only a couple of short months. By following her simple diet for me and by getting a few easy tests done, I was able to learn what foods I am allergic to and are not good for my body. I haven't felt this great in months!"

Little Girl With Ulcerative Colitis
Our daughter started intestinal bleeding as a consequence of an allergic reaction to antibiotics when she was two years old. Her primary care doctor treated her with high doses of Predisone, Imuran, (6MP), Asacol, requesting weekly blood tests, frequent and costly enzymes tests, and yearly colonoscopy. In addition to suffering the side effects of the many medications, his physically invasive procedures caused my child, and our family immense stress. In the end, it all only served to mask the symptoms of what was really affecting our child.
At our wit’s end and desperate to try something different, we decided to give Dr. Alane Palmer a try. At the very first meeting Dr. Palmer gave us hope that our daughter would get better. With a minimal number of tests, (no blood work), little expense, and just over 4 months of her few supplements and her special diet, the bleeding subsided and eventually disappeared.
We have endured much frustration with conventional doctors operating on very little common sense, and basically only trained to mask symptoms with drugs. It was at first hard to believe Dr. Palmer when she said that she could stop the bleeding. Dr. Palmer found the cause of her symptoms and eliminate it. Miraculously, our daughter has not bled for over 2 months. Gone is her constant fever, skin rash, loss of head hair, and lack of energy. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Palmer for giving us our child back.
This short note could in no way express the miracle she brought into our life through her knowledge, and special ability to listen and care. We highly recommend Dr. Palmer to bring a miracle into your life!!!!
