Hello, I should start off by saying I'm 29 years old, I work in management at a large corporation, and will soon by studying for my MBA. I should also note that I NEVER believed in homeopathy, but in fairness I knew nothing about it either.
To make a long story short, I have been suffering from a very rare autoimmune disorder since the age of 14 where I experience frequent and violent flare ups causing inflammation across my body. I have tried EVERYTHING; I have seen countless of doctors and have lost count of how many medications I've tried; diets, supplements, you name it and I've tried it.
Despite this, given the severe inflammatory responses, I did everything lifestyle-related to keep inflammation low including high anti-oxidant diet, exercise, meditation, omega 3, turmeric etc., but this was not enough to stop the violent immune reactions from occurring. The symptoms included inflamed joints, poor circulation, flu-like symptoms, confusion, inability to speak and think clearly and fatigue; this lasted about one week after each flare up with the most severe symptoms being on Day 2 and 3. I felt paralyzed and would often call in to work sick during flare ups.
I was hopeless, and knew that I was destined to never find a cure to this given how orphan the disease is and little doctors knew about it.
To add to all this, I'm also Celiac with digestive issues, and one day decided to visit Alain after finding him from this website in order to discuss the possibility of treating my digestive problems. I had absolutely no intention to discuss my main autoimmune condition given how hopeless it was and how little I believed in homeopathy. During our first meeting, he asked if I had other problems other than digestion so I decided to tell him about my rare condition. He then conducted a test and noticed abnormal Vagus Nerve function which can be linked with abnormal immune function (hence my over-reactive immune system). He then prescribed me pills for one month and I thought it was funny that he thought he can cure my rare condition.
After receiving the pills, I decided to take them as prescribed despite not believing they can help. I had paid for them already, and was hoping they can at least me help with my small digestion problems. A week later, after experiencing a small flare up, I noticed my symptoms we're more manageable that usual. I thought it was just a nice coincidence, as this never happened; the symptoms and severity have been fairly consistent over the past 15 years. I still hadn't made the connection that the remedy might be helping, in fact I kind of forgot I was on the remedy. Another flare-up occurred a week later and the symptoms we're about 80% less severe, this REALLY caught my attention because it's the second time in a row I get a flare up with little symptoms, and the second time was almost symptomless.
I never thought this day would ever come, but I can officially say I have been cured. It has been 2 months with little to no flare-ups and symptoms almost non-existent. I keep getting better and stronger each day! He has been telling me since my first visit that this will be cured and will no longer need the remedy, and based on my experience I no longer have a single doubt, in fact I think that day has come. My quality of life and vitality hasn't felt this good since I was 14; I have tremendous amounts of energy; my friends and family even noticed that I look healthier, even though most of them never knew I was suffering from an autoimmune condition. I feel like a new person, he has saved my life from something that was destroying me slowly.
All this to say that I can't thank Alain enough, he has changed my life forever. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to find solutions to their health problems. I'm not sure if he can solve everything, but I am confident that he can help with many health problems. He's a true scientist and professional and is highly knowledgeable about the human anatomy.
