This is Christine again. Let me assure you the video was only "carefully edited" because while I was talking my husband called on my cell phone, so I had to stand up to walk over to answer it. In doing so, I hit the microphone button and they had to have me sit down and redo some of my information. ...

In response to your question about not taking DMD's before during and after, even tho the doctors DO NOT recommend that you stop them, I did stop them 3 mos b4 treatment for the very reason that I didn't want my improvements (if any) to be attributed to the DMD's. I experienced miraculous improvemen...

He told me that many of his patients are from Canada. I don't know if that means they travel there to see him or if he does phone consults.

This forum/post just caught my eye. Thanks for all the great exercises! I am going to start in the morning!

Unfortunately, I am one of those few challenging patients that had awesome improvements after my first balloon in Sept. and no improvements after the second in Dec. I am working with Dr. Saxon at Del Mar Vein Clinic through the Hubbard Foundation. Now I have to decide if a third time will do the tri...
