This is what Sherri Thomas R N at U C Davis Medical Center had to say .
I had been ill for over 10 years with terrible asthma.I was frequently on steroids, antibiotics, and a host of other drugs. I was often off work, unable to leave my home for weeks to months. Every afternoon, a flu like feeling with muscle aches and extreme fatigue came over me. It was all I could do to force myself through the rest of my work day. Doing something in the evening was generally out of the question or felt grueling, as if I were running a marathon. I could easily sleep 12 hours every night and still feel terrible every afternoon. Weekends were for minimal necessary chores and recuperation for the upcoming week. It was not much of a life. I had a host of other less life hindering complaints: Rosacia (facial rash), some gastric reflux and other mild GI complaints, etc. Western medicine had nothing left to offer me except more steroids, which have horrific side effects when used long term.At 49 I felt my life had been reduced to that of a 90 year old. I went to Dr. Sudan hoping for any small improvement. I filled out a huge questionnaire then met her in her office. She is lovely and thorough. She sent me for multiple lab tests covering pretty much every body system. After reviewing the results, she put me on a special diet (not calorie reduction, just eliminating certain foods),suggested an exercise routine, and started me on a number of supplements. I noticed a difference within a week. In two weeks I was a new person! I no longer take Ibuprofen (which I had taken four times a day times ten years). I sleep a normal eight hours and feel good all day. I no longer have body aches and fatigue. I have not needed inhalers to date. I had a cold recently and actually recovered on my own with out steroids! In the past the smallest sniffle would cause my airways to become reactive, requiring me to be off work a minimum of four weeks, often longer and often leading to pneumonia. Most of my other complaints have diminished or disappeared: I no longer wear heavy make-up to cover Rosacia. I no longer have bloating and reflux. I have lost 13 pounds. The swelling in my lower legs is gone. This feels like a miracle.

Anne Sandler's Comment.
"Having Chronic Fatigue, I've tried many things to bring up my energy level to coincide with my demanding lifestyle. Nothing really worked, and the M.D.s didn't have any solution except, "Nothing can be done." I met Dalbir Sudan, M.D. at a networking group and learned about Functional Medicine. We've been working together for a little over three months now and I can feel a shift in my energy level. I know I won't feel absolutely wonderful overnight since I've had this syndrome for more than 30 years, but I am hopeful that, given time, it will reverse. Dr. Sudan treats the whole person--body, mind and spirit. She's urged me to slow down and take some ME time. I've just decided to take up my photography hobby again, and I'm very excited and feel great about it." ...
