Success is ... having a healthy baby

Elizabeth C. / 28
Canton, Ohio

“When I got married, my endocrinologist would always joke with me: ‘Oh, it’s time to get pregnant!’ ” says Elizabeth, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I was 23 years old.

“When we were ready to start trying, is when I went to see Dr. Kosmides, he made it all make sense. At the outset, Dr. Kosmides and I had a plan. We would maintain an A1C of 6 percent or lower for the entire pregnancy, and I would have a completely natural birth.

Not surprisingly, there was effort, but the tips, treatments and information from Dr. Kosmides made it easy to follow. I and Dr. Kosmides office tracked my glucose levels with a continuous glucose monitor, faxed a log of my blood glucose readings to Dr. Kosmides each week for suggested adjustments and kept pregnancy cravings in check. You always hear, Oh, when you’re pregnant, you’re eating for two, But you only need an extra 300 to 500 calories per day. That’s not a lot.” To make sure my blood glucose was in control during delivery, I had my husband test throughout labor.

I had a 6-pound, 1-ounce baby girl named Leah. “I have the funniest and most adorable baby, and that alone is a success,” I worked with Dr. Kosmides, followed his reasonable sound health advice and everything went well.

Success is ... making me and my Tennis game, Great!

Jordan C 47
Duluth, Ga.

Tennis is in Jordan C’s blood. His parents played in a local league, and his older brother, Mike, now competes for the University of Kentucky. Jordan caught the bug at age 8, and earlier this year he knocked out dozens of title hopefuls in the Junior Wimbledon tournament to finish second after Russian Andrey Kuznetsov. Now he’s joined the pros.

The tennis phenom’s record speaks for his natural ability, but what makes his story more phenomenal is the fact that Jordan has had type 1 diabetes since he was 4 years old. “I try and forget about it a little bit out there,” he says. “I don’t want to make excuses.” Off court, Cox is fully aware of his diabetes, monitoring how his demanding daily schedule—five to six hours of practice plus an hour or two lifting weights or running, punctuated by two breaks and lunch—affects his blood glucose levels. “During matches, the adrenaline kicks in and that makes the glucose go higher,” he says. “When I get high, it can affect some things on court.” To make sure he’s in control, Cox tests his glucose before every match. “You can’t let [diabetes] hold you back,” he says. “You can still achieve whatever you want.” Dr. Kosmides has made it easy for me and was a bit of a stretch at first to believe what he was telling me. By eating the meal plan and nutrition designed by Dr. Kosmides I have more energy than ever and my insulin usage is down 70%.

Blood Sugar at 771 – That was me honest…

My name is David my wife worked for Dr. Kosmides and I thought he was a nice enough fellow but really didn’t think he could help me. One day when I was the office to pick up my wife I felt a bit dizzy. My wife suggested that I have a consultation with Dr. Kosmides. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I did. After a brief but revealing consultation Dr. Kosmides asked for a simple laboratory test and the results of this test were astounding. My blood sugar was 771 I was floored. Normal blood sugar is between 80 and 120. Dr. Kosmides worked with me and his medical doctor colleague and over the next several weeks my blood sugar averaged 110 to 135

Skeptical and now I know I was ignorant to natural ways both nutritionally and dietary to improve my health. Dr. Kosmides made it all makes sense, was reasonable but at the same time shoulder level of caring insincerity that I will always remember.

Before coming to see Dr. Kosmides, I received three spinal pain-block shots over a period of months,

with little or no relief from the pain. I also had numbness running down my legs. I was stiff and felt a lack of energy.My wife, a patient of Dr. George's, suggested that I come for an exam. At first, I was reluctant, but with constant suffering I decided to see him. My low back disk pain and low energy that I suffered from became better in a short time. I am able to do things that were un-doable before.

"Serious about losing weight? See Dr. George"

Dr. George treats the whole person. His plan is sound, easy to follow, and tailored for each person. I highly recommend Dr. George for anyone who wants to finally gain control of their weight and become lean. Dr. George and his team are supportive, professional and dedicated in making you see real results.

"My stiffness and soreness are gone"

I was practically "forced" to see Dr. Kosmides when my neck hurt and ached so bad that it interfered with my life. I was sore and stiff most of the time. I knew the pain medication was just a cover-up, so I stated getting treatment with George.

After a short time, I was able to turn my head without pain. My stiffness and soreness are gone -- life is good again! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me to get and stay well.

"They provided me with a winning plan"

My name is Jill and I am 56 years old. I have needed chiropractic services as well as acupuncture on-and-off my entire adult life. I have been in a car accident. I have sciatica.

I had to go to the emergency room with chest pain and pain shooting down my right arm. The doctors thought I was having a heart attack and kept me overnight. When the results came back, they found I had ribs in my shoulder area, which was causing pressure and pain in my neck and shoulder, pinching my nerves. No wonder I have been so stiff there all my life. And I have problems with my digestion, and I must admit I deal with some anxiety.

Dr. George provided me with a winning plan that has alleviated my distress. I have never, ever received such excellent care. I feel so much better in all aspects of my life, and I am able to resume my activities.

"Perceptive, genuine, knowledgeable"

Dr. Kosmides is not just a chiropractor, he is a true healer. Within minutes he can determine the source of your ailments and find the remedy. He sees his patients in a holistic fashion. He is extremely perceptive, genuine and knowledgeable.

"I'm feeling younger and healthier"

I just started going to see Dr. George and I already am in love. He is friendly and makes you very comfortable. I haven't slept so well in ages. I have seen a change in my body and mind, feeling younger and healthier.

A visit with Dr. G is a positive, life-changing experience. He has helped not only myself but my mom (80+ years) and my son. He's always receptive to questions and concerns. He's warm and caring. The quality of life would not be this good if our lives were not touched by Dr. G. He's truly a blessing!
