I came to see Dr. Jennings in August of 2009 with symptoms of depression, chronic fatigue, severe muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, brain fog, and a host of other symptoms that my primary care physician had diagnosed as Fibromyalgia. I could not sleep at night, because I just could not get comfortable due to muscle pain. No matter what I ate, my stomach was bloated and I went through bouts of diarrhea followed by constipation. I really just wanted it all to end. I even contemplated suicide, thinking that my family would be better off without me than seeing me suffer so much on a daily basis. I had been to all kinds of doctors – gastroenterologists (barium tastes nasty!), orthopedists (couldn’t find anything wrong), psychotherapists (put me on anti-depressants), allopathic doctors (muscle relaxers), an acupuncturist (helped somewhat with pain relief), and chiropractors, who did help me for short periods of time. I found it difficult to sleep at night, so I went through my days just trying to keep myself together for my family. My relationship with my husband became strained, because I was not able to be an intimate partner to him. I was just too tired. My children suffered, because I could not do things with them that they enjoyed doing with me. I felt like I was a burden to my family. I couldn’t feel any joy, because everything I did took too much effort. The first thing Dr Jennings did was to listen to me as I explained the path that led me to her. She looked me straight in the eye and made a promise to help me heal myself. As I sat there in tears, she reassured me that there was hope. It was something that I really needed to hear that day. She did a thorough physical examination and gave me two diagnostic tests that immediately told her which direction she needed to go in to help me on my way. I left her office with an array of homeopathic and herbal supplements. I was so desperate, that I was willing to try anything. Within one week of seeing Dr. Jennings, my mood lifted, and I already started sleeping through the night. I realized that I had to make some personal commitments to my new health regimen. It started with taking all of my homeopathic and herbals supplements at the right times and in the right amounts. Dr. Jennings sent me for several diagnostic tests, which determined that I was suffering from heavy metals poisoning. I was skeptical at first, but when I researched mercury poisoning online, everything fell into place. I had all of the symptoms. Upon Dr. Jennings’ recommendation, I immediately arranged to have the amalgam fillings in my mouth safely removed by Dr. Jack Dunn in Longmont. I changed the way I ate. I cut out all grains except for corn, ate lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, and lean meats like buffalo. Not only did I lose excess weight, but I felt a new lease on life. For the first time in a year, I started laughing out loud, and my family remarked how much nicer it was to spend time with me. Last summer (2011) I went on a five day backpacking trip in the Wind River Range of Wyoming with my husband and daughter. Another issue I had was bio-toxicity from exposure to black mold. I was working in a building suspected of having mold. Dr. Jennings recommended finding a different position somewhere else to avoid exposure to mold, as well as a blood test to see what needed to be done to detoxify. I am happy to say that I no longer need as many bottles full of homeopathic or herbal remedies as I did at the beginning of my treatment protocol, just enough to maintain my health and to continue to fight inflammation and rebuild my cells. I am feeling so well that I have committed myself to a 244 mile canoeing trip for the summer of 2012. The most difficult challenge for me has been to stay on the strict cellular healing diet. While all the other doctors I had seen before Dr. Jennings had the intention of helping me lead a healthy and productive life, none had the knowledge or took the time to examine my case on the cellular level. Each one of them looked at a piece of the puzzle. Dr. Jennings looked at the whole picture through various methods of discovery, and was able to customize a treatment plan that worked for my body. I am so very grateful for her care and professional manner. I highly recommend Dr. Jennings to anyone who wishes to be “born again” into a new and healthy lifestyle.
