Ruth Ann, 70, had been dealing with a host of health problems. Digestive and elimination issues. Her abdomen hurt constantly. She was tired and worn out all the time, even though she slept 8 to 10 hours a night. She had “brain fog” in the mornings and felt like she couldn’t get going until the afternoon. She had constant nasal drainage and coughing.
Ruth Ann’s daughter had heard about Dr. Cas, and her niece had been to see him and said he had “changed her life.” Ruth Ann got an appointment.
During Ruth Ann’s first visit, Dr. Cas took an in-depth history, listened to all of her concerns and gave her a thorough examination. He also ordered blood tests and a stool study.
“Dr. Cas then said that he thought he could help me feel better,” Ruth Ann shared. “He said that it would be a journey and would take some time. I really felt heard.”
Based on the results of her blood tests and stool study, Dr. Cas recommended a treatment plan including an antibiotic and an anti-fungal. He also prescribed a number of supplements to rebuild Ruth Ann’s gut, as well as a cell detox protocol.
“Over the years, a number of doctors have told me that I had inflammation. However, no one had ever told me how to get rid of it,” Ruth Ann said. “Dr. Cas is working with me to reduce inflammation and heal my gut and detox my body on a cellular level.”
“I thought it was beneficial that Dr. Cas really listens to what I had to say about how I was feeling. He does a great job explaining the lab results and what is going on in your body. Knowing the foods that I was sensitive to was a game changer.”
While the treatment plan has been a process that takes time and dedication, Ruth Ann has stuck with it and is now enjoying the results.
“There have been some major changes to my life and health since I have been seeing Dr. Cas,” Ruth Ann said. “I am no longer having pain in my abdomen. I am waking in the mornings easily and am alert and feel rested although I am sleeping about 2 hours less a night. I am not experiencing brain fog. The drainage and coughing are gone. I have lost 12 pounds. I have energy and feel like doing things during the day. I couldn’t be happier.”
Ruth Ann’s advice for others dealing with health issues? “Invest in your health sooner than later. Follow the plan that Dr. Santana develops for you.”
