Says Leslie: “I work 50 hours a week. I have two teenage children, ages 16 and 18. They both have major medical problems. Two years ago we found out my son has a genetic disorder that causes learning disabilities and anxiety attacks; it causes insecurity, immaturity. He has a heart condition that can cause him to pass out at any time. It can't be fixed. My daughter's bi-polar. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue 13 years ago. I also have a heart arrhythmia and I have six pets and a husband. So my stress levels are huge.”

Luckily, Leslie has a supportive husband who stepped up to the plate: “My husband is wonderful. He's really taken over a lot of the household chores because I've had to do everything else with the children. We have on the average eight doctors' appointments a month just for the kids.” Nevertheless, the stress built and built. Says Leslie, “I felt I was going nuts. I was angry all the time.  I was anxious. I cried all the time. I felt my children hated me. I felt the people at work hated me. I thought my boss wanted to fire me. I was paranoid. All these things weren't true but I felt they were true because I was so overwhelmed. I had no self-esteem. It just seemed like if it weren't for bad luck I had no luck at all. And I just said this has to change.”

Leslie went to Dr. Vern and took the rapid stress test. “I was a little blown away by what I circled,” she says. “I had a lot of 7's, 8's, 9's and even a few 10's, showing that I was extremely stressed in areas that I hadn't even realized I was stressed.” Dr. Vern started her on the Rhodaptin program. Says Leslie: “I've got to tell you—it’s a miracle. Within days I felt the difference. I wasn't quite so overwhelmed. I could cope with what was going on in my life. Within a couple of weeks of being on Rhodaptin the difference was amazing. Even other people were saying, ‘Wow! You've really kind of calmed down. You seem more mellow. You seem more relaxed.’ I guess ‘relaxed’ was the word most people were using.”

After seven weeks on Rhodaptin Leslie took another stress test and most of her answers were 2's and 3's. “It was wonderful to see it on paper. I knew how I had felt being on the program so it was affirmation that I was doing better. The best thing about the Rhodaptin Program is that it has given me my life back. It's that simple.”

And home life could not be better.

Says Leslie: “My kids have made comments like, ‘Gosh, Mom, you smile more now. You seem happier. You're more relaxed. You know, it's nice to spend time with you.’ Before, it was like they spent time with me because they needed to spend time with me. Now they spend time with me because they want to spend time with me. My husband and I have gotten closer now. I always felt that we were distant but it was me, I was pushing him away because I was so overwhelmed. I just didn't want to have to deal with him either. And now it's like when we were first married. We hold hands, we talk. We're on a honeymoon again. I feel close to him even when he's not there. I think romance is easy to come by but intimacy is something that really needs to be between a man and a woman, and Rhodaptin has brought the intimacy back into my marriage.”

What does Leslie have to say about Dr. Vern? “The one thing that I like about Dr. Vern the most is that he treats you as a person not as a patient. He's genuinely concerned about you as a person, not you as a patient. He wants what's best for you fully in your life, your body and your mind. He's not just concerned about healing the symptoms. He wants to know what the cause is and to heal that as well.”

Leslie’s bottom line: “I would wholeheartedly recommend Rhodaptin to anyone that has even a minute little bit of stress in their life. It's wonderful.”
