If I could do six starts, I would.
I knew there was something up with my Thyroid. I read the book by Datis Kharrazian called "Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms..." and realized I needed someone knowledgeable to get my thyroid situation figured out. Someone who thought outside of the box... and I didnt want to go to a doctor that was simply going to prescribe thyroid medication and send me on my way. After reading the Kharrazians book, I knew I had some thyroid disorder or some kind of thyroid issues and didn't know where to start or what to do. Datis Kharrazian book is great and informative and got to me wake up to my thyroid issue, but I needed someone who know this stuff well. After interviewing and shopping for someone in San Diego, I decided to go with Jim. He has studied and worked with Kharrazian and does workshops with him still. There were others in San Diego that said they have studied with Datis Kharrazian, but with Jim I didn't feel like he was in it for the money. I contacted Datis Kharrazian office to see if I could work with him, but his office only wanted special cases and crazy crazy money.
Jim has turned my life around. He was on target with everything and the blood and salivia tests proved that he just was not blowing smoke. Everything he said made sense to everything that was going on with me and he set me up with a plan of action, answered my million questions patiently, and held my hand along the way. I see testing numbers changing. There is a lot of grief going through this process of learning hard health info that will be with me for the rest of my life, but I consider myself very lucky to have connected with Jim. I am 100% sincere.
If you are curious, I discovered that I was irrefutably Celiac and Hashimotos. No more gluten or Bronx Pizza for me, however, I have found great (yes, great) gluten free pizza at Stacked in the FV mall.
So impressed with Jim that i connected my mother with Jim. He is in the middle of working with her though she is out of state. It looks like my mother will be gluten free for life. I am someone who has eaten healthy and exercised my whole life. No more so called "whole healthy grains" for me. Datis Kharrazian is supposedly coming out with a second edition.
