In January, at the ripe old age of 46, I underwent surgery to remove a tumor on the pituitary gland. I had never had surgery of any kind and, other than lower back pains, had virtually no experience in having any serious problems with my body.
The surgery was the easiest thing from which to recuperate. The tumor was benign but damage had been done to the pituitary, either from the surgery or from the tumor, and it was soon discovered that the adrenal glands were not producing the necessary levels of cortisol. In that the body requires cortisol to survive, I was prescribed 25 mg of cortisone to be taken each day for the remainder of my life. I was also quite low on testosterone but that was considered far less important because it wasn't life threatening. I was told that I also needed to inject testosterone for the rest of my life.
By July I had gained an extra 65 pounds without really changing my eating habits. I felt "normal" perhaps 30-40% of the time. The rest of the time I felt light-headed, thick-headed, a little dizzy and a lot like a hypochondriac must feel. I was treated by doctors at UCLA and a renowned endocrinologist at Cedars Sinai but nothing ever turned up but the shortage in cortisol and testosterone. The solution was always a simple "take cortisone and inject testosterone."
As the new year came around, I felt as though my physical condition was worsening. During the summer, I developed a fairly bad digestion problem. Eating food had become similar to injecting drugs into my veins and I would feel completely knocked out after any meal. I finally decided to seek some alternative medical help and advice.
By the time I first met Dr. Gordin, I felt and looked pretty lifeless. I had been trying to carry on with my life and my work but my body had become a real ball-and-chain. I no longer trusted it to function correctly and get me through the days. Because I am an international management consultant, this had become a serious problem.
Dr. Gordin put me through the standard battery of nerve, gland and muscle tests and a full set of spinal x-rays. I was diagnosed as having reflux (causing the digestion problems), dead adrenals and few pinched nerves compounding the whole package.
I was put immediately onto an intensive program consisting of 3-4 adjustments each week, heavy vitamin and mineral intake and the 40-30-30 method of eating. I was additionally educated in the spinal/glandular system so that I could understand why the program was what it was.
I began to see positive results within 3-4 days. In just a month I felt physically like a new person. Eating food was no longer traumatic. The reflux was under control. My energy level had dramatically increased. I could work from the time I got up until I went to bed without feeling as though I had to take naps. The color had returned to my face and skin. And I even started to lose weight for the first time since surgery.
I have been back working constantly since then and I feel so much more alive. My friends and associates have taken notice of the physical and emotional change. It has even communicated via the phone and people that have not seen me have commented on how good I sound.
I am very glad that I met Dr. Gordin and only wish that I had met him much earlier in my life.
I can confidently tell anyone that Gordin knows what he's talking about. I am now promoting his services far and wide!
