ABDOMINAL PAIN
I came to see Dr. Giaquinto in June 2006. I was experiencing everything from minor discomfort to pretty extreme pain in my stomach area. I suffered with these symptoms for 8 weeks before I went to my medical doctor, who sent me for a CT scan, diagnosed me with diverticulitis and prescribed antibiotics, which didn’t work. My quality of life took a serious downturn. I had constant stomach pain to some degree every day. Some days it got so bad that I had to lie down due to the pain. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by a co-worker who was a patient of his. Dr. Giaquinto prescribed enzymes, a better diet, and simple exercise for me to do at home. I had a 50% improvement in my digestion and stomach pain after the first month. After the second month all the discomfort is gone and I feel great.

ACID REFLUX/HEARTBURN
I came to see Dr. Giaquinto on March 17, 2008. I am not sure of the cause, but my health had been deteriorating for about two years. I had been dealing with acid reflux for about eight months. I was also experiencing constant sinus infections, taking tons of antibiotics, gaining weight and losing my energy and zest for life. I felt like I was growing old before my time. The condition I was in affected every aspect of my life. All I wanted to do was lay in bed and watch TV. I could not sleep at night and I was afraid to eat. I was depressed and lost my interest and joy for life. I had tried to address my issues with several different types of medical doctors. I was treated by a gastroenterologist who put me on two acid reflux medications. I was treated by my internist with antibiotics and I began to get allergy shots for my allergies. I also used two nasal sprays for my allergies. The only difference I experienced was that my acid reflux continued only slightly improving in the daytime. I continued to get sinus infections every other month and I still had no energy and felt bad all of the time. I explored the internet and found Dr. Howard Loomis. I did a search on his website for a chiropractor in my area who did digestive work and I decided to try that route because all the others had been so ineffective. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto with Enzyme Therapy, I have had amazing results! In just four months, my life is completely different. I feel like I used to in my 20’s. I have tons of energy, sleep at night and feel refreshed in the morning. The best of all is that my reflux is GONE! I have my life back again. I have not been sick for two months now and I have no sinus infections and no illness of any kind. This is fantastic for me. As an added benefit, I have lost 15 pounds without even trying. The weight just melted away in three months. I have my life back and I feel so lucky. I am sending my friends and family who are not well to Dr. Giaquinto. He is amazing!!!!!!

ALLERGIES
I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto four months ago for numbness in both my arms and hands. I also have allergies and sinus problems intermittently my whole life. While getting treatment for the numbness in my arms, I spoke with Dr. Giaquinto about my allergies. I told him I had allergy shots when I was younger and my allergies subsided until about two years ago when they came back in full force. For the past two years, I would wake up sneezing and congested almost everyday. I would get allergy flare ups about twice a month that would leave me bedridden. Some days I even had to take allergy medicine which I didn’t like doing because I wasn’t able to function properly due to the side effect of being drowsy. Dr. Giaquinto suggested that he could help my allergy condition with Enzyme Therapy. I decided to give it a try. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto with Enzyme Therapy for my allergies, I have had excellent results!! The first few weeks I went through some cleansing and Dr. G. explained that my cells and tissue were being replaced with better quality nutrition. It has been about two months since I started the Enzyme Therapy and now I no longer have any congestion and haven’t had an allergy attack since!

ASTHMA
I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto for treatment about three or four months ago. I have had allergy induced asthma since the age of twelve years old. Even with being an athlete and a fitness professional today I still had recurrent bouts of asthma which not only made it hard to breathe but also took my energy level down quite a bit as well. I also could not be around dogs for very long because they would flare up my sinus congestion and asthma. I always have had an inhaler nearby just in case an attack would begin. I’ve had to keep my cardiovascular conditioning top notch at all times and have taken Claritin daily since it came out on the market. I was treated by a respiratory therapist when I was first diagnosed with allergy induced asthma as a kid but hadn’t been treated any differently by other doctors over the years. Basically, they would prescribe new inhalers for me and that’s about it. The inhalers have been consistently effective for attacks but were mainly an emergency cure more than one that could cure my condition. Angela Parker and Jeffrey Bertollini referred me to the office. As trainers for Body Inspired Fitness we often times overuse our bodies and Dr. Giaquinto has “put us back together” again. Upon working with Dr. Giaquinto he introduced me to enzyme therapy to greatly lessen my asthma in addition to chiropractic adjustments. I could see results very quickly once I began using the enzymes in my daily dietary regimen and the chiropractic adjustments helped open a healthier flow throughout my body as well. My body has grown healthier and my lungs are better than they’ve been since I was first diagnosed so many years ago. I also can be around dogs now without any flare ups of my symptoms and no longer need the claritin.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
I first came to Dr. Giaquinto on December 29, 2005. I felt out of sorts, but I didn’t know what was wrong. I was planning to run the LA Marathon on March 19, 2006, which was at that time less than three months away. I wanted to be in the best physical condition that I could possibly be. Mostly, I had neck pains that bothered me throughout the day. While training, I would also feel minor back pains while I ran. I had been treated by a chiropractor before and had good results, but never considered getting consistent treatment before. I first found out about Dr. Giaquinto when I was out for a walk. The office seemed very inviting and it felt like I was meant to be there. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto, I am in the best physical shape of my life. Besides getting adjusted on a regular basis, I also began taking Juice Plus and enzymes that Dr. Giaquinto prescribed to me to help with my muscle soreness from training. I not only ran the LA Marathon strong, but I beat my personal record thereby allowing me to qualify for next years’ Boston Marathon. I am writing this testimony on March 20, 2006, the day after the marathon. Today I feel the best I’ve ever felt! (Of course, minus a few sore muscles.) I owe it all to Dr. Giaquinto.

AUTISM
At about two weeks after birth my perfectly healthy, beautiful son developed cradle cap. Doctors told me this was normal and there was no need to be concerned, so they didn’t do much about it. It continued to grow (doctors said he would grow out of it) from his scalp, to his face down his neck to his shoulders onto his arms, body then his legs, covering 70% of his body. This condition continued to grow. We were visiting the ER regularly, at least once a month. Through several months of horrifying events our beautiful healthy child was now covered with a condition the doctors called chronic eczema, a respiratory and digestive condition that one doctor stated that, “we were just going to need to learn how to live with it because there is no cure.” Furious, I started on a quest to heal my son and nothing or no one would stop me. At about 2 ½ years, my son started regressing, stopped talking, running, stopped being able to swallow his food or eat normally, stopped interacting with us, catapulting him into fully regressed autism. Before the autism, my son was cuddly and sweet tempered, loved to laugh and be around people. I coined him my social butterfly. Even though the pain he was going through with chronic eczema, life threatening allergies, digestive and respiratory conditions, he had such a good disposition. By this time my son had an army of professional specialists for his various conditions and an array of therapists helping my son do what “NORMAL” kids do without thinking. These specialists consisted of a pediatrician, dermatologist, autism specialist, neurologist, allergist, nutritionist, audiologist, psychologist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist and adaptive therapist. By the time I met Dr. Giaquinto, my son, who was 3 ½ years old, had been taking multiple prescribed medications for years. The so called “specialists” were telling me that my son was too young to know what would become of him. The eczema was under control due to constantly medicating him but he didn’t take any naps and never slept through the night. He had an extreme diaper rash that would not go away. Every night he would repeatedly bang his head against the wall. He also did not make eye contact with anyone. He did not engage or have interaction with anyone including me. He had a very poor appetite and was a very picky eater. Every morning he had a chronic productive cough. He was losing muscle mass due to his nutritional deficiencies. He didn’t have the ability to run and play like kids his own age. His weight was unstable and at one time he lost a total of 5 pounds going back down to 14 pounds at age 2. This was a very scary time my family and I. Simply stated, my son was a zombie by the time we got to Dr. Giaquinto. Under Dr. Giaquinto’s care, my son started coming back to us. Dr. Giaquinto taught me how to give my son enzymes, we started him on Juice Plus+, and some home exercises I could do for my son. I noticed quick results. After his first visit, my son had more energy, went home and took a nap! He started to become more engaging with me. That night he didn’t bang his head against the wall once and he slept completely through the night for the first time in a long time. After the second visit, he started sleeping well and still hasn’t banged his head against the wall once. His teacher at school says he is using more words and is more engaging. His appetite is coming back and is now starting to eat food that is healthier for him. After visits three through five, his interaction was continuing to improve, he is now using more words, and continuing to progress in engaging with others and making eye contact. After the sixth visit, he went home and slept for 14 hours, woke up the next morning, crawled into our bed and cuddled up next to me and said the words “Mommy, I love you.” I had never heard those words before from him. My heart just melted with joy. After seven weeks of treatment, the diaper rash and cough were completely gone. He began engaging with my family members, playing with his toys, running, eating and started talking again. He is gaining back his muscle mass and is gaining weight regularly. After everything my husband and I have been through, Dr Giaquinto was a breath of fresh air to us. I have done everything Dr. Giaquinto has told me to do for my son to the T. I have not waivered and only after six months of treatment my family and son have enjoyed bountiful success after success. My son takes his enzymes and Juice Plus+ daily. He is no longer taking any prescribed medications from the other doctors to my approval! He is making great strides for a healthier lifestyle and bright future. My husband and I will always consult with Dr. Giaquinto and use his services. Dr. Giaquinto is a wonderful person and we are truly blessed to be his patients. What is unknown to you Dr. G, is that you helped rebuild my family and helped save my marriage that was in deep crisis. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Giaquinto for his help and all his education.
With admiration and gratitude,

INFANT BLOATING AND CONSTIPATION
I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in November 2009. My six month old daughter, Colette, was experiencing severe digestion difficulties, stomach cramps, bloating, gas, constipation, and insomnia since she was born. Every day she would scream for two to three hours because she was in so much pain. Colette was only sleeping for 30-90 minutes at a time due to the amount of pain and discomfort she was experiencing. Needless to say after six months, my husband and I were exhausted physically and emotionally. We felt helpless and hopeless that our little girl was suffering so much. We have seen seven different doctors and specialists and they all said the same thing, “she is on the wrong formula.” That was their treatment, to switch formula. We had switched formulas countless times and Colette’s symptoms didn’t change at all. We were referred to Dr. Giaquinto by our Pediatrician, Dr. Jay Gordon. After our first appointment with Dr Giaquinto we noticed a dramatic difference. Colette no longer screamed in pain for two to three hours per day, she slept soundly, and she has regular bowel movements! Continuing with treatment, Colette’s bloating and gas has disappeared and is now sleeping five to six hours at a time, like baby’s should. My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with the results Dr. Giaquinto was able to get for Colette and us. Thank you Dr. Giaquinto from the bottom of our hearts for helping us experience life without daily pain. I had forgotten how it felt to have a “normal” day. We look forward to working with you to achieve a long life of health!
Sincerely,
Tara P.
BLOATING
I initially came to see Dr. Giaquinto for my back pain, with which Dr. Giaquinto has helped tremendously. But Dr. Giaquinto also helped me in a way I never expected. I have had bloating and stomach pain routinely show up after eating for as long as I can remember. Even eating something as small as a sandwich. I’d always walk around holding my stomach in because I felt like I’d swallowed a giant watermelon. It was just so big and it was too hard and painful to always suck it in and hold it in. Unfortunately my self-esteem suffered because of my bloating and pain and I just didn’t understand why it was so ugly. It got to a point were I wouldn’t go swimming or go to the beach if I had eaten that day. I even went to medical doctors and they said there was nothing wrong! The Internist I saw thought I had severe stress directed into my stomach. I also went to an acupuncturist and it didn’t help either. I felt like having no results or answers after seeing these professionals was a big waste of money. After I heard about the digestive work Dr. Giaquinto does, I thought I’d try one more time to find relief. Dr. Giaquinto did a digestive workup on me and prescribed specific exercises and enzyme supplements that my body needed to heal. It has been two months and the bloating and stomach pain is 90% improved. Now these are results! And I am unexpectedly also losing weight, which I am thrilled about and I don’t have to hold my stomach in any more. I know with enzyme therapy one day soon I’ll be 100%!
Sincerely,
Ashley B.
BLOATING, GAS, FOGGY THINKING
I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in October 2009. The conditions that I had were digestion difficulties with gas and bloating, and sometimes constipation if my diet was off, tense shoulders, lower back pain, and foggy thinking. These conditions affected my life daily because I was uncomfortable wearing tight fitting clothes. I felt like I looked pregnant. When my shoulders and back pain were bad I didn’t feel like being social with my friends and family. I also had a difficult time continuing my work as a camera operator, which really concerned me. I had only seen an herbalist for my conditions and I got temporary relief from the symptoms, but as soon as I strayed from the program my symptoms returned. I saw Dr. Giaquinto speak in San Diego and it was an eye opener. I decided that I need to see him for treatment. I felt a difference after only one day of being treated. My bloating and gas completely resolved. Even when I eat the wrong things, my symptoms don’t return. I also see a big difference in my skin, my fine lines on my face are fading. I feel much stronger when I work out. My shoulders and back can sometimes hurt but is less intense then before I started treatment. I also have tons of energy and my thinking is much, much clearer.
Sincerely,
Ann B.
DIGESTION DIFFICULTIES
I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in July 2007 because I had severe digestive difficulties. For thirteen years all the muscles on the right side of my body were always very tight creating migraine headaches, neck, lower back, and sciatic pain. This condition brought on constant pain. I assumed gymnastics, playing sports, and having a really active lifestyle may have caused my condition. Unfortunately, this condition interfered with my life to a great extent. I couldn’t run any more, lift weights, watch movies in a theater, drive for long periods of time, or even take long walks for shopping. I couldn’t do anything too physical or else I would pay for it. Every time I would eat, I would get indigestion, nausea and diarrhea. I have seen many acupuncturists, chiropractors, physical therapists, naturopaths and medical doctors for my condition. The naturopath had helped with the food allergies, but for the most part I only experienced short term relief seeing these professionals. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by a friend of mine that swears by him. Dr. Giaquinto put me on an enzyme program to help with my digestion. The enzymes have helped tremendously and they re-enforce what I should be eating and are a great reminder for me to eat properly. With my digestion system working extremely well now, the rest of my body is feeling much better due to the decreased nutritional stress. Thanks to Dr. Giaquinto, I am now resuming the active lifestyle I use to have thirteen years ago.
Sincerely,
Alyssa C.
DIGESTION DIFFICUTIES, INSOMNIA, & BACK PAIN
I first came to Dr. Giaquinto in May 2008. I had chronic upper back pain, pain all over my body, digestive pain, and insomnia. I don’t remember when it began, but it has been with me for years. I suffered from insomnia partially due to the pain in my body so throughout most of the day I was fatigued, making every task extremely difficult to do and accomplish. Things that brought me joy weren’t bringing me joy anymore. I saw my primary care physician, a physical therapist, and another chiropractor for my conditions. My back and body pain lessened while in their care but never completely went away. My primary physician prescribed medicine for my stomach but it didn’t help me at all. I met Dr. Giaquinto at the Palisades farmer’s market and decided to seek treatment from him. Since being under his care, I no longer have insomnia, my energy level is much better, no more digestive problems, and the pain in my back and body are completely gone. The exercises that Dr. Giaquinto gave me to do will consistently help to strengthen my back. Thank you Dr. Giaquinto.
Sincerely,

ECZEMA
I had been suffering from eczema for the last five years. Living on the East Coast, the extreme temperature of winter would flare up the outbreaks on my fingers, wrist and neck. Each year the outbreaks seemed to get worse and worse. When the breakouts would occur, it would hurt to put my hands in water and I had to be very cautious of any lotions I would use. It was also very uncomfortable going from hot (heated homes) to cold (the outdoors). My hands looked and felt awful. So, I went to a dermatologist. The dermatologist prescribed symptomatic relief, a cream that would dry up the eczema, but only until the next breakout. Even with using the cream, my skin felt very tight and very dry and the condition never improved. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto from a relative that was receiving treatment from him. Dr. Giaquinto did a digestive workup on me and told me exactly why I had the eczema. He prescribed a treatment plan that included chiropractic care and specific enzyme supplements that my body desperately needed. After taking the supplements for about two months my fingers, wrist, and neck are now completely normal!!! There are almost no patches of dry skin for the first time in years! I am extremely happy with my results and would recommend anyone who has a skin condition to see Dr. Giaquinto.
Sincerely,
Pat N.
FATIGUE
I’d like to tell you a little bit about how I was feeling and the symptoms I put up with for three years prior being treated by Dr. Giaquinto. I was tired a lot, especially in the afternoon. I work from home so taking a midday nap is very tempting and often happens! My body felt clenched, in a constant state of tension. My sleep pattern was terrible. I’d wake up after four hours of sleeping and could not get back to sleep. I had realized that the stress I’m continually under was hurting my body, even though I thought I was doing the right things for it. I ate right, exercised almost daily, gave myself “me time” to unwind, but it just wasn’t enough. Since seeing Dr. Giaquinto for a digestive work-up and enzyme therapy, I feel 200% better, maybe more. I have tons of energy. When I wake up at night I generally can fall right back to sleep. I can eat foods like cheese again, which I had a difficult time properly digesting before. I’m not as hungry because my body gets the nutrition its needs from the foods I’m eating. I also snack less and it’s easier to control my weight. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Giaquinto for enzyme therapy, especially those people under a lot of stress, who have low energy or want to gain better control of their weight. Anyone can benefit from great nutrition and enzymes!
Sincerely,
Wendy W.
FOOT PAIN - ACHILLES' TENDONITIS
I first came to Plymouth Wellness Center in July of 2010. I was suffering with low back stiffness, my gait felt crooked, and pain in my left foot. My foot condition started in 2009. My biggest issue was my left foot. I started with Morton’s Neuroma, then I got Plantar Fasciitis, and currently I am dealing with Achilles Tendonitis. Because of these foot problems I am in a lot of pain, have no energy to do anything but get home and put my foot up and ice it. It is hard to wear certain shoes because of the Achilles issue. I love to golf and haven’t been able to do that since 2009, and would love to just go for a walk.
I was treated by a podiatrist for the foot problem. I purchased foot inserts, received cortisone shots, and was sent to do physical therapy twice, and both times it did not help. So in July of 2010, I came to Plymouth Wellness Center for help. Everything was hurting, back, foot, hip, my balance and gait was off. In July of 2010, I started with chiropractor care. Now all my back issues have improved. I am not stiff in the morning and my gait no longer feels crooked. As of August 2011 I still have the Achilles Tendonitis and it is not getting any better. My worst fear was that I was going to have surgery which is an eight week healing process. I would not be able to be off work without pay that long. I saw the flyer about Dr. Giaquinto’s digestive class and decided to attend, thinking my sister would benefit more than myself. I started enzyme therapy August of 2011. Never in a million years did I ever think that taking digestive enzymes would heal my foot problem. In the two months that I have worked with Dr. G my foot pain is gone. On October 21st I walk in a five mile walk for breast cancer. I finished the walk pain free in my foot, back and hip. I have so much more energy, I feel healthy again and Dr. Giaquinto is my miracle worker.
Thanks!!

HEADACHES AND SINUS CONGESTION
Since high school I suffered from frequent debilitating sinus congestion and headaches. Medication was futile. I would have to lay down in the dark and either sleep it off or vomit until I could sleep it off. I would be virtually incapacitated for hours at a time. I went to an allergist and after a barrage of tests, I was diagnosed with environmental allergies, prescribed Celdane, and received allergy shots for three years. My headaches became less frequent, but I was still constantly congested. When I moved back from college and started working, the frequency of which I got headaches increased. I didn't have the time, ability, or desire to be out of commission for hours at a time. I have never been really big on traditional medicine and decided to go to a homeopath and nutritionist about my condition. She put me on a rotation and elimination diet and gave me a list of supplements to take. I immediately noticed a change. I felt better and my headaches lessened in frequency and severity. However, I still had difficulty breathing out of my nose. At this point, I was thinking that this is the best it would ever be: partial congestion and infrequent headaches. Then a friend of mine told me about enzymes and introduced me to Dr. Giaquinto. He did a digestive workup on me and explained why I have been plagued with sinus problems for the majority of my life. Then, he introduced me to enzymes and how they work. He prescribed specific supplements for me that my body needed. After taking the supplements for six weeks, I woke up one morning and could actually breathe out of my nose. I was ecstatic. Since then, my body’s need for enzymes has changed and lessened and my headaches and sinus congestion are rare. Even though his goal is to help you to get your body to work properly on its own, I continue to be a loyal patient of Dr. Giaquinto. He not only gave me hope, he gave me a solution.
Sincerely,
Amy J.
INDIGESTION AND INSOMNIA
I came to see Dr. Giaquinto in September 2006. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by a co-worker. I was experiencing acid reflux, indigestion, bloating and insomnia. I contributed my symptoms primarily to stress and poor eating habits. Although I’ve had these symptoms for years, at times they were so severe that I thought my chest pains were a signal I was having a heart attack. My symptoms also keep me up at night so I’m tired and dragging during the day. My medical doctor prescribed the little purple pill and the symptoms went away, but unfortunately it caused me to gain weight. It masked the symptoms but didn’t get to the root my digestion problems. Since I’ve been taking enzymes and doing my stretching exercises, I have noticed a huge difference in the way I feel. No more heartburn or bloating and I have energy after I eat instead of feeling tired. I sleep through the night and wake up rested and it's all thanks to Dr. Giaquinto
Sincerely,
Nicki H.
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in May 2008. I have been suffering from IBS on a daily basis for approximately seventeen years. I would have five to six loose bowel movements a day along with a lot of gas. My condition had gotten to a point where it was hard for me to go out and socialize with friends and family. I had been treated by my medical doctor for this condition. He prescribed medication for me and I have had mediocre results. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by my daughter. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto, I have about two to three firm bowel movements per day and 50 % less gas. I take my enzymes faithfully and notice a difference when I don’t. The enzymes really help me. Thank you Dr. Giaquinto.
Sincerely,
Judy W.
FREQUENT URINATION & INSOMNIA
I first came to Dr. Giaquinto on March 21, 2008. My wife had jaw surgery twenty-five years ago and had her jaw wired shut. I would wake up anytime she cleared her throat, fearing she was choking. Poor sleep ensued and it worsened over the years by job stress. I would routinely fall asleep easily, then wake up about two to three hours later and be restlessly awake for the rest of the night. This usually happened four to five times a week for the last twent-five years. I would rarely, if ever feel totally rested, which I believe contributed to low energy in general and fatigue. On top of that, I also would wake up four to five times a night to go to the bathroom to urinate. My medical doctor prescribed drugs to help me sleep. Another chiropractor also gave me natural sleeping aids. The only thing that worked was one of the drugs prescribed, but I was reluctant to take it regularly for fear of becoming dependent. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by my daughter. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto in a short amount of time with adjustments and enzyme therapy, I would estimate that my sleep pattern has improved at least 50% and I might get up one time a night to urinate but that is rare now. I still have some nights where I have trouble sleeping, but I feel that is related to major stress in my life and stress management is something I am working on to help me sleep. Overall, I feel my conditions have greatly improved with Dr. Giaquinto’s treatment over the last six weeks.
Sincerely,
Daniel C.
MIGRAINES
I have been suffering from migraines for the past thirty years. At times I would get them as frequent as four days a week. My migraines interfered with my daily life because I had a hard time focusing on anything. I had to be in a dark room and sleep it off. While at work I took breaks often to close my eyes. I had to wear sunglasses until it was dark just for me to fall asleep. I didn’t know what was causing them. I had been treated by every doctor that I could think of to help with my migraines. They’ve run cat scans and x-rays. I’ve gotten acupuncture, and even had medicine prescribed to me to help, but nothing worked. A co-worker of mine recommended I go and see Dr. Keith Giaquinto. When I came to Dr. Giaquinto, his treatments stopped my headaches and I was starting to feel like a brand new person. This was the first time something had worked and was consistent at working. I’m extremely happy with Dr. Giaquinto and his staff. My result from being treated by Dr. Giaquinto's is that I feel amazing. My migraines are not completely gone but are significantly less frequent and less intense. Dr. Giaquinto has given me the tools I need to manage my headaches and keep my head and body healthy and pain free.
Sincerely,
Suzanne D.
WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM AND LONG RECOVERIES
I have been suffering from IBS and a weak immune system most of my life. I also suffered from periodic back, neck, and shoulder pain. I am a very active person and love to work out and go biking. Having these conditions would interfere with my life quite a bit. If my one of my daughters were sick, I would usually get what they had. A typical cold would last 4 to 6 weeks! When my back would go out, it would also last 4 to 6 weeks. This was “my” normal for recovery. I was treated by doctors and specialists and I had some improvement with my digestive issues however, there was no improvement with my weakened immune system or back, neck, and shoulder pain. I first came to Dr. Giaquinto’s office about 3 years ago after being referred by Dr. Corrigan, my wife's podiatrist. Ever since starting the enzyme treatment my digestive and immune system are stronger than they have been for decades. I'm more resistant to colds. If I do get a cold, the symptoms are very mild and only last 2-3 days. I also recover from injuries much, much faster than I used to. This is the best I have felt in a long time thanks to the enzymes.
Sincerly,
David Konell
INFANT THRUSH, CONSTIPATION, AND INSOMNIA
I have been seeing Dr. Giaquinto for two years for my own health and just started bringing my children to see him this year. Recently, my husband and I took in a newborn, drug exposed foster baby boy who was nine days old. Needless to say, this was a difficult transition, but also, this was one unhappy baby! After a few weeks it was apparent there were some chronic issues with this boy, including thrush, constipation, and difficulty sleeping/napping. He would only nap for about twenty minutes at a time and sleeping at night was, at best in three hour intervals. When we picked up baby Jayden, he had already been seen by a pediatrician a few times and was on a second round of medication for the thrush, which seemed to be about 90% effective. I decided to let Dr. Giaquinto examine and treat him. During our first visit, Dr. Giaquinto adjusted the baby and put him on an enzyme program to start. Within the first few days the constipation definitely started to resolve itself. Within about three weeks I saw a major transformation in him. His sleeping improved dramatically; he is now taking one and a half hour long naps and sleeping eight to ten hours a night! The thrush had also completely cleared up, constipation resolved and the general demeanor of this baby drastically improved - he became a happy baby! I am confident that the combination of chiropractic care and enzyme therapy was the healing treatment this child needed and I am SO glad I chose to have him seen by Dr. Giaquinto. Unbelievable!
Sincerely,
Rachel E.
MIGRAINE HEADACHES
When I first came to you in April 2010, my system was in a frail state. I was always tired, extremely thin and was unable to gain weight, even though I ate large portions of healthy food (whole grains, beans and vegetables). My elimination was sluggish, I released a lot of gas and I had frequent horrible migraines, about four times a month. The migraines lasted 24 hours, building up to a peek of extremely intense pain that lasted about seven hours and then winding down to a dull ache. When I had my migraines, I could barely function and had to sleep it off. If I had to work, I counted down the minutes until I could leave so that I could go home and sleep. My friend Ann suggested I come and see you because of the benefits she received from your chiropractic care and the enzyme treatment, and I am very happy I acted on her advice! Your tests revealed that I was not assimilating protein, and there was a problem with my liver and my sympathetic nervous system, which was responsible for the intense headaches I was getting. A couple months into the therapy I noticed my elimination improved a great deal, from one time a day to two, and in greater bulk. I also released far less gas, I would say from frequently every day to rarely. The headaches are almost a thing of the past as well. They became active once a month instead of four times a month and now it has been three months since the last headache! This is a wonderful improvement from when I first came to see you. With the chiropractic treatment and the exercises, I noticed that I was more aware of my back and posture throughout the day; I wasn't slouching my shoulders forward as I was before. I haven't gained weight, but my over all muscular tone has improved. Thank you for your concern and care in educating me on the processes my system goes through each step of the way. It is always comforting to come to your office feeling as though someone really cares about me. You taught me that just taking medication won't eliminate the problem. Healing is a process that requires harmony of nutrition, exercise, helping each other and relaxation. Thank you Dr. Keith for all your support, encouragement and tenacity to help me through all the problems that came up.
Sincerely,

SKIN RASH
I
came to see Dr. Giaquinto in June of 2011 for my lower back pain and a skin
rash. I had the skin rash for 1 year and
the lower back pain for over 10 years. I
had a raised rash and bumps all over my arms. It was difficult to sleep at night due to the rash itching all the time.
I was limping when I walk due to my lower back pain. I went to two Dermatologists for my skin rash. The doctors gave me topical creams for my
rash, which did nothing. I had no
relief of the itching. They even took a
biopsy with no results in finding what caused the rash. I drove by Dr. Giaquinto’s office, which was
near my home. I was tired of suffering, so I stopped and went in to see if he
could help me. Dr. Giaquinto did a
consultation and an intensive physical exam to evaluate my body mechanically
and nutritionally. He knew immediately
that the skin rash on my arms was coming from inside of me and treated me for
“leaky gut”. The most amazing thing is
he knew what it was by his observations. Dr. Giaquinto treated me with chiropractic adjustments, exercises,
enzyme therapy and changed my diet. The
diet he put me on took out the complex carbohydrates that my body was having
difficulty in processing. I noticed results immediately, my lower back pain and
limp went away, my skin rash went away within 3 weeks and I slept much better
at night. Since being treated by Dr.
Giaquinto, I feel better and can enjoy my life more now. I do my stretches,
take the enzymes he prescribed to me and will continue with chiropractic
adjustments. Dr. Giaquinto also took the time to explain
and answer questions I had, this in fact was my first step to recovery. Understanding my issues was an education that
helped me heal so quickly. Thank you Dr.
Giaquinto.
