OZONE THERAPY – K.W.

My husband is a hairdresser and one day at work a client in the salon handed him a business card for the Institute of Progressive Medicine. The client had overheard him mentioning that his wife had a frustrating illness and was only getting worse over the previous 11 months. She sympathized that she had been there once herself and gave him hope.

After years of painful symptoms and a few stumped doctors, a second colonoscopy finally revealed I had severe ulcerative colitis. The year leading up to the diagnosis was particularly difficult, as the symptoms had progressed quite a bit. I first appeared to Dr. Sosin in December and I hadn’t been taking any prescription medication, I was trying Traditional Chinese Medicine in combination with controlling my diet and lifestyle. I had tried the prescription drugs for a few weeks after the initial diagnosis and had very strong side effects, which were to me as bad as the disease. I decided I needed a more natural healing path, which was unsupported by the previous doctors I had met with.

Four months had passed since my diagnosis and at my first appointment, I was weak and down to 108 lbs with no muscle as I had been in bed for a month, usually I am 125 lbs. I sat in his office and was exhausted after climbing a few stairs. He completed his exam and knew just what my body needed, recommending some vitamins, supplements, further diet adjustments, and ozone therapy. I was also seeing someone for Traditional Chinese Medicine for herbs and acupuncture, which Dr. Sosin advised I continue. He also ordered blood work, an allergy test, and I received an immune drip. I left hopeful and already felt more cared for after one meeting with Dr. Sosin, he was so thorough.

At my next appointment, my blood work confirmed his recommendations, and I even discovered that I had a few food allergies. I was already feeling some improvement after the above and at this point had my first ozone treatment.

Over the next two months, I continued with Traditional Chinese Medicine, followed all of Dr. Sosin’s orders and received four ozone treatments total. I am humbled to report that since my diagnosis, my symptoms went from severe to moderate, moderate to mild, and mild to completely non-existent.

I have been UC free for two months now, when I first saw Dr. Sosin, it would be a matter of hours in between debilitating attacks and I couldn’t imagine having even a day without symptoms. When I first presented, I no longer was able to exercise, go out to dinner, have meals at friend’s houses, do anything in the mornings, enjoy spontaneous plans, make plans, or even work and my blood work had “high” and “low” flags on almost every line. Now, I have gained my weight and strength back, I am regularly attending Yoga, Pilates and going on hikes with friends, which I desperately missed and my blood work is back to normal. My body feels better than I ever remember and I have been able to resume my life again which had been put on hold. My quality of life is without a doubt incomparable to before. Dr. Sosin and the staff at the Institute for Progressive Medicine were instrumental in returning me to true health. – K.W.

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – JG

Prolozone injections on my lower back have helped me a lot. I would say it has taken my pain away 90%.

Before, I could not sleep, walk, sit or stand due to the chronic pain, numbness and tingling on my lower back radiating down to both my legs. After doing the prolozone, I am able to do these things again and without taking any pain killers and muscle relaxers. I don’t need the walker or cane to help me walk or stand because, thanks to the prolozone, I am pain-free. -JG

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – DW

Five years ago I was experiencing severe knee pain so I visited an orthopedic doctor and was told I needed double knee replacements because of the bone-to-bone condition. I did one year plus of prolotherapy with another doctor. Conditions improved, but not to the level I was satisfied with. I then did acupuncture for one and a half years, seeing additional improvement.

Last year I wanted to do some additional prolotherapy. I had attended two seminars that Dr. Sosin hosted so I thought I would try his prolotherapy (prolozone) program.

Five years later I am able to walk without pain, climb several flights of stairs (vs. elevator), engage the clutch of my truck and do semi-intense 40 mile bike rides – all without pain.

I’m glad to have tried prolotherapy and that it worked successfully for me. – DW

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – DT

I just I have had amazing success with the shots of prolozone. After three injections I am walking 40% better. Am very pleased with my progress. I intend to continue treatments.- S.P.

I had 4 herniated discs this year which resulted in unbearable sciatic pain. I then had 3 epidural injections which ultimately didn’t fix the problem. The doctor then recommended surgery which I refused.

Researching alternatives, I found prolozone therapy and Dr. Sosin. I have had 4 injections now and they have made all the difference – no more pain at all!

I’m so grateful to Dr. Sosin and his staff for all their help and caring. Sincerely, – DT

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – C.A.

I was in a car accident 2 ½ years ago. The pain in my knee was not terrible at first but got progressively worse over the next year and half. I had surgery then, hoping to resolve the issues. After recovering 8-10 months, I still had continued pain, swelling every night and the knee still seemed to be getting worse. I read about the prolozone, looked up local doctors and came to Dr. Sosin. We determined I was a good candidate and started treatment. That was 2 months and three shots ago. My knee has not felt this good in 2 years. I am now hopeful I will once again get to enjoy some of the activities I love. – C.A.

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – R.G.

Before visiting Institute for Progressive Medicine I had a lot of pain in both knees. After my first visit I noticed a difference, able to walk more less pain. The second set of injections I was able to walk ½ mile with no pain. I have recommended Dr. Sosin to numerous friends and relatives on the pain free I am experiencing. Quickly they want his phone number and information of his help with what he has accomplished with me. Words cannot describe how much better I get around and about. To me it is like a miracle. My last injections have given better movement. I am totally satisfied with the time and money I spent with Dr. Sosin. If I ever start to feel pain again I will return to him. I highly recommend his professional knowledge.- R.G.

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – J.E.

I first experienced pain after a trip to the gym where I injured my left knee on one of the machines. After a diagnostic MRI of my left knee I found I had torn miniscus. It was painful. I went to Dr. Sosin on routine exam and noticed a flyer in his office on prolotherapy. After 3 visits with Dr. Sosin for prolotherapy on my knee, I am pain free. Thank God for prolo and Dr. Sosin! – J.E.

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – G.H

In the winter of 2000-2001, while downhill skiing, I hit one spot (slushy and sticky) which stopped my skis. I somersaulted forward and tore the ligaments in my lower back. Only a tiny forward lean gave me great pain. I came in for an examination and then for prolotherapy treatment. Within one week, nearly all the pain was gone. As new ligaments grew, I was able to lean over and touch my toes with complete comfort. The concept of prolotherapy is completely logical and yet the results were miraculous to me. – G.H.

PROLOZONE AND PROLOTHERAPY – S.S.

A week ago, I couldn’t move/raise my left arm. I had recently injured my left shoulder (in which there was also bursitis and tendonitis). After a single prolotherapy injection, the results are so much more than I expected. The very next day, I could raise my arm about 90 degrees in front – less to the side. On the second day I could go higher. After four days, I had almost 180 degrees in both directions (front and side). A week later, I also have virtually no pain. This has been nothing less than a medical miracle for me. Thank you Dr. Sosin! -S.S.

Thanks to Dr. Sosin’s guidance I am doing better physically than any time in over 10 years! The ozone treatments have made a major improvement in my health, and the supplements have been a big help as well. I now have more energy and better activity than I have had in a long time.

OZONE THERAPY – FZ

If you suffer from sinus issues then nasal ozone is a must for you!

I have been doing nasal ozone on a monthly basis for over one year. I have not had laryngitis for over a year now! For a singer who uses their voice with daily practice and weekend performances, nasal ozone has reduced my inflammation in the nose and secondary the throat. I still will have occasional allergy flare ups, but I am still able to sing through it!

Thanks to Dr. Sosin for bringing the best and most safe therapies for all of us. Also, a personal thanks to all the medical assistants who administer the nasal ozone. Thank you again for all you do for us!

With much gratitude, – FZ

OZONE THERAPY – E.K.

There is a noticeable difference in my energy level and ability to take in air. Especially when running! I went for an 8 mile run this morning and didn’t feel as winded. It’s helping me run longer distances without feeling tired or out of breath. This week the change has been really drastic as I took last week off from ozone. I continued to run last week but would get tired sooner. There is also a difference in recovery time too. After my longer runs (8-10 miles), it takes me a day or so to recover and I typically feel sore and stiff. I felt pretty good after my run this morning and haven’t experienced any soreness. The last thing I’ve noticed is my minute per mile has improved. It’s shaved 40 seconds off my mile per minute time. Now 9:35/mi vs 10:15/mi. Pretty neat actually.

Plus, I haven’t felt the need to have coffee this week either. This is strange for me as I typically drink 3-4 cups a day.- E.K.

I can breathe easier. I came in feeling poorly with the onset of flu. I was very congested and feeling run down. After two treatments of the nasal ozone I feel much better. The nasal congestion is gone and I’m clear. My wife had two treatments, and an immune drip and she’s better, too. Thanks. – J.L.

Approximately 5 months ago I injured my left knee. There were a multitude of injuries to it. I had 3 treatments of prolozone in 3 months. I was initially unable to walk and the pain was severe. After my last treatment in December, I am a new person. The pain is totally gone and I can walk and run with no pain. These treatments have given me my life back. I am so grateful! – RM

IV THERAPIES – W.D.

I have been receiving immune drips for several months now. I am feeling great. I no longer have the viral infection of the semi-circular canal in my ear that was causing vertigo. Also, a before and after C.T. scan has shown a slight reduction in the size of a mass in my lung. I believe it will ultimately disappear. – W.D.

IV THERAPIES – J.F.

The other day I woke up feeling like I was going to be getting a cold. I felt fatigued; I had bags under by eyes and my throat felt a little bit scratchy. After my IV, I felt 100% better. I got the boost of energy and the symptoms I was feeling in the morning literally disappeared. I think the immune drip helped out a lot, especially since I received the treatment before it took over. I would recommend this drip for anybody that feels the symptoms of a cold coming on. -J.F.

IV THERAPIES – SS

I have been a patient of Dr. Sosin since 5 years ago. I drive over an hour from Pasadena to see him. After visiting my doctor in Pasadena, I always felt hopeless and defeated, but after visiting Dr. Sosin I always feel very good about my health. Today I told him about my upcoming knee surgery, and he immediately told me about what I can expect, advised me as to what to tell my surgeon, and recommended tests and natural preventative strategies which will help me to avoid negative outcomes and recover quickly. I had an immune IV and my fatigue has disappeared. Dr. Sosin is so caring and knowledgeable! An amazing combination! The best doctor I have ever had! – SS

I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis and was on a medication which was causing adverse reactions in my body. Dr. Sosin worked with me to slowly help me be able to come off the medication. I am now off all medication and am experiencing no joint pain.

DRUG REDUCTION AND ELIMINATION – J.T.

I came to the Institute for Progressive Medicine after I had been on medication for pain and depression. For at least seven years my life was not worth living. I am not a young person, I have great grandchildren, so I should have known better, but some doctors will give you what you ask for. I felt hopeless and helpless, with no way out. Now after spending time here I feel like I am starting life over. I thank God for sending me to this special place. – J.T.

DRUG REDUCTION AND ELIMINATION – F.L.

My daughter was in a medical crisis when we first came to the Institute for Progressive Medicine. She had a lifetime history of seizures, both petit mal and grand mal. Since having a bout of meningitis at 5 months of age she also gradually lost her hearing and became totally deaf at age 16. In the past 6 years, Elisa was in and out of hospitals for neurological problems and psychiatric wards for uncontrollable behavior. In 2007, at age 22, Dr. Sosin recommended that we detoxify her from the many drugs she was on. At this point, Elisa was depressed, suicidal and refusing to eat or take medications anymore. After weeks at Pür Detox, a drug free detoxification program, and treatment with Dr. Sosin, my daughter is now drug free for the first time in her life. She is eating regular meals, is happy at her school for the deaf and has found reason to live again. We would like to thank Dr. Sosin and his staff for giving my daughter back to us. It is indeed a miracle that Elisa is doing well without prescription drugs. Thank God for Dr. Sosin and the Institute for Progressive Medicine! – F.L.

PRP – J.A.

Three years ago, I tore both my rotator cuffs in my shoulders. I chose not to do surgery and after 2½ years, I started doing prolozone shots. After 5 treatments, I decided to add the PRP therapy. It was night and day. Within a day, my left shoulder that refused to heal, felt better and stronger. My plan is to continue these treatments until the shoulder is completely healed. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the PRP treatment. – J.A.

PRP – E.L.

During my tenure under Dr. Sosin’s care, I have experienced many and various challenges in my need for medical care; including breast cancer, thyroid cancer and difficulty walking due to problems with my left knee. The recommendation from surgeons was a total knee replacement. I have had two PRP injections for my left knee and now am walking pain free. Previously I could barely walk with a cane. I do not need knee replacement nor a partial knee replacement.

Thank you Dr. Sosin!! I am eternally grateful. – E.L.

STEM CELL THERAPY – T.M.

Dr Sosin’s assistant asked me if I would write a testimonial about the recent stem cell treatment on my knee. So, when his assistant called to remind me I realized I hadn’t thought about my knee in sometime. That’s right – no knee pain, no squeaking bone, no twinges to remind me to be very careful how I walked or climbed stairs.
Three years ago I had extraordinary knee pain in my right knee. I went to Dr Sosin who prescribed an X-ray. The diagnosis was a torn meniscus and places that were bone on bone. I underwent prolotherapy which helped but still left considerable unease and pain during exercise. So, after a year of enduring this continual annoyance, I decide to have stem cell treatment. Three weeks after treatment my knee felt much better. Two months later it was still improving and a sonogram showed that the fat pad (a source of natural stem cells) on my knee was almost completely restored.
So, now six months after the procedure I exercise regularly and my knee pain is only a distant memory.

Thank you, Dr Sosin, Dr Moore, Shirin and Shannon for a procedure well done. –T.M.

ECP TESTIMONIALS – J.T.

My mother who is 83 suffers from congestive heart failure and recently spent three and a half weeks in the hospital. After an angiogram, they said only 40% of her heart was functioning. The suggested treatment was open-heart surgery, angioplasty or stent, all too risky in her condition. There was no alternative but to maintain her through pharmaceutical drugs!

MY mother recently started ECP treatment after my sister found the Institute for Progressive Medicine and ECP on the internet. My mom’s progress has been substantial. The swelling in her ankles is almost gone and her energy has increased tremendously. She is not using her wheelchair as much and is moving towards more independence. Nutritional supplements have allowed Dr. Sosin to eliminate one of her drugs, which is part of the goal. I am grateful for the non-invasive treatment and hope that it has given my mom. Thank you, Dr. Sosin and staff, for your commitment to alternative healing. Your treatment is giving our mom more years with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Thank you and God bless. – J.T.

Since my last visit in May of this year I have steadily improved under Dr. Sosin’s care. The supplement prescriptions Dr. Sosin prescribed have worked very well. I have increased energy, almost no chest pain and much less of a breathing problem. These improvements have been gradual and lasting and each week shows improvement. I am sleeping better, eating better, and enjoying my life a whole lot more. I know I still have sarcoidosis, but I am confident that continuing on my present program at the Institute for Progressive Medicine will enable me to have more improvement, more strength and better health. – D.C.

I know that you will appreciate an update on my husband–surely one of your more challenging cases. As you know, my husband arrived in a wheelchair on 70mg of cortisone. His legs were numb and he was unable to walk more than a few feet. In the past week and a half he has made steady and remarkable progress. He is back to work, walking daily about a mile to and from the parking lot to his office. The numbness in his feet is gradually diminishing and he has been able to taper his steroids to 52.5mg. Today he will be going down to 50mg.

I left our home with many skeptics in the wings and I think perhaps my husband was one of them. Of course this is just another one of those hard to crack cases that have come to you and have been helped. My belief is that medicine will not have reached its pinnacle until conventional and progressive therapies are integrated everywhere with more of an emphasis on wellness. We have had a very positive experience at the Institute, enjoying a warm and caring staff. By the time we left, we felt like family with all of them. Be proud of the team that you have put together and know that we are very happy to have been given the time, attention and care that we received there for three weeks. – HG

I have added a workout and diet program to maintain my weight and help with my ankle injury. I also received some prolotherapy treatments that have helped the pain in my ankle. There is some pain, but it has improved considerably since the treatments. I can now walk without extensive pain and take part in my workout program. I chose this treatment over surgery. I am most pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Sosin and his staff to anyone experiencing problems. I have recommended Dr. Sosin to several people who are now his patients. – J.H.

Several years ago I was given to Dr. Sosin as a referral for my multiple health problems. I was overweight, had hypertension and high cholesterol. I also suffering from an old broken ankle injury that had not healed properly. After an intensive exam, Dr. Sosin put me on vitamin therapy. He also reduced the drugs I was taking for hypertension and high cholesterol from six different drugs to now a small amount of only two different drugs. The high blood pressure has remained down for the last several years and my cholesterol has dropped at least 40 points, bringing my cholesterol level to slightly above normal.

ECP TESTIMONIALS – F.S.

Dear Dr. Sosin, This letter is a short report of my experience with ECP treatment at your center. Aside from the fact that it was simple, it was pleasant and was of great benefit to me. I felt a definite shift in my well-being after my third treatment. There was an increase in my energy and most noticeable of all, an increase in my leg strength. Whereas I had to use a handrail to assist me in climbing even a short flight of stairs, now it is no longer necessary. I can climb up the middle of a stairway.

The following list is where I have received benefits:

More energy
More leg strength
Increased mental acuity
Easier breathing
Seem to have better circulation
I also have to report the result of an appointment with the electrocardiophysiologist who implanted my pacemaker/defibrillator unit. He was so pleased with my increased heart strength that he regulated the unit down to 60 beats per minute. He said that my heart was now able to do more of the needed work, which in turn made me notice an increase in feeling well. In closing, I would not hesitate to recommend the ECP treatments to anyone. I also without hesitation recommend you, your staff and your clinic.– F.S.

ECP TESTIMONIALS – SB

My husband was unable to pass the EKG and other tests in order to have surgery. After his health had deteriorated more due to circulation problems, he tried ECP. He already had developed heart and kidney disease, but could not exercise. He had Diabetes II, knee and foot pain and was fatigued.

After just 12 ECP treatments, he passed the EKG test! He has been continuing with ECP once a week ever since.

ECP is an amazing technology! His heart disease and blocked arteries in his legs improved 35%! He had a Doppler ultrasound and chest x-ray taken, revealing these results. Therefore, we heartily recommend ECP for anyone with these kinds of problems. – SB

I have had thirty five treatments of ECP that have been beneficial to the quality of my life. Before the therapy, I could walk around for about five minutes. Since completing ECP, I can walk around for approximately an hour before resting. Six years ago, I had a stroke which affected the right side of my body. I had to use my left hand to raise my right arm and hand. Now that I have finished ECP, I can raise my right arm and hand without help. I am also more alert, energized and have less pain.

ECP TESTIMONIALS – R.H.

I had open heart surgery on June 20, 2002. I was in and out of the hospital thirteen times in the following ten months. I have been on over thirty three different prescription medications. The side effects of the medication and the multiple return trips to the hospital have been very unpleasant and exhausting. I had been unable to drive my car due to side effects of the medications.

On the advice of Dr. Sosin, and the recommendation of Dr. Bello, I began ECP treatment on May 6, 2003. After a very few treatments I began to feel much better. I have more energy physically and mentally. I have now completed the 35 treatments recommended and I feel better now than I have felt in the last couple of years. My prescriptions have been dropped to five. I am a firm believer in ECP.– R.H.

The exact statement on the Institute’s website that drew me to Dr. Sosin is the exact success that I experienced today when I saw that my blood pressure had dropped from 210/100 to 150/76 in 28 days!

The website statement is, “With access to both conventional and complementary therapies, we formulate programs for health that avoid complications of drugs and surgery whenever possible.” And that is exactly what Dr. Sosin did. He formulated a drug free program to handle my high blood pressure. All I had to do was follow exactly what the program entailed. I stopped my heavy intake of salt immediately, went on a directed weight loss program and took the prescribed nutritional supplements.

In just 28 days Dr. Sosin took me from a state of high risk for a short life, to a high quality life. I wake each morning full of energy, get lots done all day long and stay alert until bed time. I also lost 14 pounds, all without traditional blood pressure medication!

Thank you, Dr. Sosin, and thank you to the staff of the Institute for Progressive Medicine. You have gained a loyal patient, in me and my friends and family.– S.Y.

DIABETES – W.Q.

Two years ago I had a massive heart attack. All three of my arteries were 90% clogged. I had two angioplasties and stents put in to open up my arteries and improve my circulation. After six months the stents had reclogged. I had severe heart failure and my diabetes was out of control. My BNP count was 2124 (normal is less than 200) and I was so weak and out of breath that I could barely walk. Also, I had retained about 20 pounds of fluid from my heart failure.

Then I decided to come to the Institute for Progressive Medicine to see Dr. Sosin. He started me on a program of chelation, Plaquex and Natrecor. A year later my BNP count has been within normal range, my diabetes has been under control and my fluid retention has diminished. I am also able to walk long distances without any shortness of breath. Dr. Sosin is an excellent doctor. He cares and listens to his patients. His whole staff is WONDERFUL! They are always there to answer any questions I have and they always give you the best care. They should be commended for their excellent service.

JOINT PAIN – J.J.

I had disk degeneration with a herniated nucleus pulposis. I went to an orthopedic surgeon who told me to walk 5 minutes a day and kept telling me to get cortisone shots. I had taken one shot and it was so painful and only lasted for three weeks and then I was back to the same pain. Then I decided I was going to see Dr. Sosin. He put me on anti-inflammatory supplements and colchicine injections. He also showed me some stretching exercises and gave me a prescription to go to see the chiropractor and for physical therapy. Now my pain has subsided and I am feeling much better. Thanks to Dr. Sosin and his wonderful staff. They are the most caring people I have ever met! I would recommend anyone with any kind of illness to see Dr. Sosin and his staff.- J.J.

JOINT PAIN – E.R.

I am 55 years old and last year I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The joints in my hands, elbows, and feet ached and were swollen. The rheumatologist suggested going on several drugs. I had friends with RA who had taken these drugs with terrible side effects and very little relief of symptoms. I was alarmed at my prospects. I went online and began to do lots of research. I ordered books on inflammation and RA and began to read. I made dietary changes recommended to me by an acupuncturist and put myself on a regimen swimming 45 minutes five times a week.

The first 3 or 4 months were difficult. I was depressed and angry that I had to do this. All of my favorite foods were gone, coffee, croissants, cheese, potato chips. But by month 5, I was getting used to it and liking the weight loss, about 15 lbs at that point. The improvement in my joint pain was very gradual, but by month five, I could leap out of bed in the morning like a 20 year old. I rarely thought about my joint pain and my reddened, swollen elbows had returned to normal color and size. The arthritic nodules on my finger joints gradually disappeared.

I continued to search for a medical doctor that would support me. That’s when I found the Institute for Progressive Medicine. I made an appointment with Dr. Sosin and he listened patiently to my health history and looked at my test results. He thought my diet was the right way to approach my disease and approved of my vitamin regimen, which includes lots of fish oil.

By now I have lost 23 lbs., am still swimming and rarely think about food I cannot eat. I focus on what I can eat and use lots of spices to give food flavor and interest. I have even learned to cook a bit since I no longer eat prepared foods. I am grateful for the Institute for Progressive Medicine for supporting my self-styled healing path and for offering me the opportunity to learn more about healthy living. I look forward to my visits at the center. -E.R.

Struggling with weight gain forever, even with eating organic, gluten-free and exercise, we discussed bio-identical hormones. I feel great! I have an improved general sense of well-being, good energy and am losing weight, especially around the midriff area.

I would recommend the pellet procedure for anyone Dr. Sosin considers a candidate. I am very pleased. – PT

HORMONE REPLACEMENT AND PELLETS – PD

When I first came to see Dr. Sosin, I was previously told by my former endocrinologist that I had Hashitoxicosis, a disease of the thyroid that could swing either way between hyperthyroidism (over active) and hypothyroidism (under active). Consequently, over the course of about 16 months, I was prescribed different drugs to control the swing between the two extremes. My health suffered greatly, not only from the disease but from the side effects of the drugs. While on Synthroid, taken for hypothyroidism, I continued to be very tired, experienced headaches as well as shortness of breath at times. I knew at this point I needed to look elsewhere for help.

During this time, I read about natural procine thyroid replacement hormone, an alternative solution for hypothyroidism. Then I read about Dr. Sosin and felt he would be the best doctor to help me. I have been his patient for six months now, and shortly after starting a prescription for natural thyroid hormone, all of the side effects began to wane. And through natural plant supplements, chances of swinging back to hyperthryroidism has been greatly curbed.

Today I am feeling better than ever, I am side effects free, and I have also gotten back my sense of well-being! I couldn’t have asked for more.

I am very thankful to Dr. Sosin for his expertise, care and valuable help. My health has turned around 180 degrees and I am ever grateful to him. Thank you and God bless you, Dr. Sosin! – PD

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE – RS

I am 73 years old. On August 14, 2014 I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain on my left calf. The foot was white, cold and the heel and toes numb. I started losing sleep at night and could not walk more than a few steps at a time. The cramps on the calf muscle were cramping the whole leg.

Avascular surgeon, based on a Doppler ultrasound test, concluded that two arteries were showing 20-49% atherosclerosis and at calf level, minimal blood flow. The pulse under the left ankle was missing. He recommended: a) angiogram with possibility of angioplasty, or b) inserting a stent to open the obstruction. Considering the risk involved and the fact that the procedure did not address the root of the problem, I declined it.

Searching the internet, I found Dr. Sosin. On October 14-14, Dr. Sosin gave me the solution that will help: Chelation. He recommended 30 treatments, 1 per week of IV EDTA Chelation Therapy. I started on the same day after the visit. At that time I could walk only 120 steps with sharp chest and calf pain. Soon a positive reaction took place. Every day I increased the walking distance and after the 4thtreatment, the angina disappeared and I walked 1 hour. The foot, heel and toes regained the normal color and became warm. Walking gave me a good feeling. I could sleep all night.

Now, after 19 treatments I don’t experience anymore pressure in the chest and continue daily one-hour walks, 6 days a week, the chelation day being the rest day. I know that chelation therapy will do many more good things than regaining the power to walk.

I thank Dr. Sosin for his vision in practicing this kind of progressive medicine that allowed my body to recover without the harmful side effects induced by the conventional treatments involving drugs and invasive procedures. I am looking forward to completing the whole 30 treatments and to follow up once more, and to keep walking one hour a day.

Thank you, Dr. Sosin and many years ahead of good work. Your faithful patient, – RS
