Not yet begun UltraMetabolism 
Not yet begun the UltraSimple Diet 
I would like to thank Dr. Hyman for better health. I have been feeling horrible on and off since I was a child. I was the kid who did not do sports because my mind was not fast enough. I did fine in academics, and some subjects such as science and math were very easy for me. But I never finished anything and never accomplished much. I am 49 and all these years I have searched for the answer. I have been on a whole food diet for 4 years and ate nothing processed and had some relief, but not enough. I was frustrated to say the least and felt that I may never find the answer. But God lead me to this book and I took the test that came with 6 weeks to an Ultramind.
Here were all my symptoms laid out for me. It was so cool. Who would have ever thought I might have a brain allergy? I was in the medical intervention range in many of the categories. So I thought finding a functional Dr. would be a good idea since the whole food diet had not worked so well for me. I am glad I did. The doctor found 3 intestinal parasites, and one bad bacteria in my gut. I was in the "red zone" for all but 1 of the essential amino acids. I had virtually no vitamin B12 available and my iodine was severly low. My hormones were out of whack and my adrenal glands were fatigued. All this was due to gluten sensitivity. At last I have my answers. My new doctor has given me medication and herbs for the parasite and bacteria, new good bacteria to colonize, supplements that will fill in the deficiencies and amino acids. I have hope to feel good for the first time in my life. I have been on this for 2 weeks along with a gluten free milk and egg free diet for six weeks. (I was also sensitive to milk and eggs. It has not been hard at all. I love it because I feel better. If I had never had this information, I could have gone the rest of my life being mostly miserable. I must have put on a good face, because everyone would always tell me, "You don't look sick, just get over it." I could never figure out why things seemed to be so easy for others and so hard for me. THANK YOU DR. HYMAN!!!
