A 25 year old woman came in with side effect problems from the birth control pill, amongst others.  She had gone off "The Pill" 3 months ago, but had gained considerable weight which wouldn't come off.  She had abdominal pains and was still "spotting".
    She had also been dizzy for 1-1/2 years and suffering from anxiety attacks.  Her iron was low, energy very low, and her periods irregular.  She had especially bad energy crashes around 4:00 p.m. each day.  She said she was forgetful, confused, depressed and hungry a lot.  She was also on various medications in an effort to clear her skin of acne.  Her doctors, after many visits, offered no explanations for her problems, except to suggest "Prozac" for her depression.   Inner ear problems as a possible cause for her dizziness, had been ruled out.
    I didn't have much luck with the muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology) on her first visit because all tested weak.  We began the detoxification diet, added acidophilus to increase the absorption of her foods, and a couple of herb formulas to nourish the hormonal system and clean the blood.
    On her next visit, a week later, she had gathered considerable strength and we could use some Applied Kinesiology.  Her energy was up to the point where she had woken early and felt rested the last few days.  she had experienced no significant anxiety attacks, her appetite was less, and she had dropped 3 pounds.   Her breasts were feeling tender as though she might be pre-menstrual.  She was due for her period if it was going to be on time.  We were not optimistic, however, after only 1 week of changes.  She had also experienced no dizziness.
    We regulated the herbs further and I did some acupressure.   That night, she got her period on time, she told me at the next visit.  She still had some energy drops around 4:00 p.m., for which we reorganized her food plan and added chromium picolinate.
    Now, 1 month later, she is off all drugs (supervised by a medical doctor), her skin is clear, and she has no more energy drops at 4:00 p.m.  She said her mind was now clear of confusion and depression and that she had dropped a few more pounds.  Any minimal anxieties she still had, she said she can now easily work her way through.
