Testimony of John P.

In March 2004, at the age of 56, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Tests showed I had a cancerous rectal tumor that doctors said had been growing for years. But the story begins earlier than this.

Over the course of the previous 5 years, I had seen two family physicians on a regular basis. The first doctor, I had asked 3 times over 3 years if I should have one of those “tests” (colonscopy) seeing as I was over 50 and had heard everyone needed this if they were over 50. His answer was “No, your blood test looks good, you are fine.” In all of the years I was his patient, he never gave me a rectal exam of any kind. He was one BAD DOCTOR.

Over that period of time, bleeding and itching symptoms slowly increased. The first doctor retired, thank God. So I searched for another doctor and was referred to Doctor Number 2. By this time, I had done some reading on my own and decided I had all of the symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome). It was an incorrect self diagnosis. On my very first visit with Doctor Number 2, I described my symptoms and told him I thought I had IBS. He prescribed Zelnorm, a drug prescribed for people with IBS and once again, never even bothered to give me an exam of any kind. He was a REALLY BAD DOCTOR. Of course, Zelnorm did not work so I went to Doctor Number 3. Fortunately, doctor Number 3 was a physician with a brain. He immediately arranged for me to have a colonoscopy and the result was not good news.

I have always mistrusted doctors but was interested in alternative medicine and knew I must find a winner if I was to beat this. Thanks to my internet savvy wife, we found Reno Integrative Medical Center (GREAT DOCTORS!). Upon my first visit, it immediately became evident that they were actually searching for cures. In my opinion, the word CURE is not germane to conventional AMA pharmaceutical mind set. The doctors at RIMC think outside of the box. I did everything they said and through a combination of conventional medicine, non conventional medicine, and surgery, I was cancer free as of March 17th 2005. The doctors, nurses, and staff at RIMC are caring, sharing, loving, and competent professionals who make a positive difference in the lives of people with cancer and other diseases. Anyone who hears about RIMC should count themselves lucky! I now tell people that if you, someone you know, or someone you love gets sick, they need to get to Reno and see the folks at RIMC, they are different.
