Cheryl is amazing and it's quite unbelievable what she did for me, for which, I will forever be grateful. Here goes:
As a child I had severe allergies that manifested itself as migraines/terrible eye aches. My poor mother thought I had a brain tumor back then! Fast forward to present day: after naturally staving off my allergies in my middle-age adulthood (honestly was probably just living with my allergies but at least I wasn't suffering), we moved to LA two years ago- and that's when my allergies returned with a VENGEANCE.
Night after night I couldn't sleep- my sinuses and nostrils were 100% blocked forcing me to breathe through my mouth which promptly hurt from dry/cotton mouth; finally resorted to sleeping sitting up to encourage gravity to drain a sinus passage just enough so that I could squeeze through some air. Mornings were a joke- sneezing 15-20 times, much nose-blowing and sinus clearing, chronic scratchy throat. Day after day. You get the picture.
After watching and hearing her miserable wreck of a husband struggle through yet another horrible night's sleep, my wife says to me, "Will you *please* call someone to help you with this?"
(Know that I hate taking pharmaceuticals as they typically never address the underlying problems. I used to take an antihistamine every night during college just to be able to breathe- I wasn't about to do that again.)
So knowing this aversion to drugs about me, the next morning I Googled 'holistic allergist' and Cheryl's web site appeared. I knew nothing about Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination as described on her web site. I contacted my awesome chiropractor back in the Bay Area, Dr. Derik Anderson (also reviewed by me), and asked him what he knew about BIE and if it was legit. He said, in fact, that some patients of his had utilized BIE with 'very good results' but that he hadn't seen it applied to treat allergies. Well that was all the validation I needed to give Cheryl and BIE a try. I could absolutely not lose since my quality of life had deteriorated so much due to my lifelong %#@*^ allergies!
I went to see Cheryl and, as God is my witness, here is what happened.
1. She tested me for specific allergens by having me touch a glass vial of the offending substance near my elbow and conducting a simple strength test (pulling my thumb and pinky apart).
2. We selected the top 4 allergens to which I had the most severe reaction (in my case household allergens like dust mites, molds, household chemicals).
3. She then treated me for 10-15 minutes with BIE. Basically it's a machine that calibrates to the frequency of the allergens; I held one electrode in my hand; while Cheryl touched me with the second electrode on specific acupuncture points on my face, torso, and feet. She said she was 'balancing my body so that it would not recognize these substances as allergens' ok fine. You feel nothing and we're chatting about kids and traveling the whole time.
4. That was it.
I asked her what happens next and Cheryl said that some people experience symptom relief immediately while others take up to 10 days. Did I need to schedule a follow up visit? Nope- she said some people take 2-4 visits but just to monitor my condition and call her again in 10 days. The whole first visit/treatment took maybe an hour and that was because we were chatting about kids and traveling the whole time.
For the first 9 days, my allergies were the same if not worse. Cheryl had mentioned that some people can experience a 'detox or worsening of symptoms' before it gets better- or maybe I'd need more visits or maybe BIE just didn't work for me. Sighs.
On the 10th day, in the middle of work I noticed something- I could breathe. That night, not just one but both nostrils/sinuses were clear enough that I could sleep horizontally like a regular human being. On the 11th day more of the same. Nasal passages were clearing up and I went to bed happily hoping that I was going to get a real restful sleep. I did!
On the 12th day I texted Cheryl with such excitement- "I can breathe! I am thrilled! What next should I schedule a follow up I want more of this goodness!" She laughed and said sure I could come in again but that she'd treat me for different allergens.
So I saw Cheryl again for my 2nd appointment exactly 14 days after my 1st appointment. This visit was even shorter but same drill with the tests and treatment.
It has now been about 5 weeks since my allergy symptoms, my horrible life-crushing, sleep-depriving allergy symptoms, have simply vanished. For this I am so grateful and am compelled to write this honest-to-goodness review of my experience with Cheryl. The above really happened. In two visits (really just one visit but I was so excited I voluntarily signed up for the 2nd one) I was cured. No drugs. No needles. No side effects. No mandatory, expensive follow up. Cured I tell you!
If you suffer from allergies like I did, you owe it to yourself to call Cheryl! read more
