WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING...

I no longer have acid reflux, bloating or abdominal pain

"One of the reasons I started the Nutrition Response Testing Program was because of the chronic stomach pain I was experiencing. I had lots of acid reflux, bloating and abdominal pain. Many nights I would wake up with stomach pain that would not go away; as a result I was constantly tired and irritable. Since being on the NRT program I have noticed a significant change with how my body is able to digest food. I no longer have acid reflux, bloating or abdominal pain. I also noticed I have more energy and my overall mood has improved because I am sleeping better at night."

My allergy symptoms have greatly decreased

"I was always tired and constantly sneezing, coughing and plagued by food allergy symptoms. Now, my allergy symptoms have greatly decreased. I used to be glued to a tissue box but now I hardly need them. I also sleep better through the night and feel more rested."

-Cassie G., Meriden

I can do more work after working all day and I lost weight

"I was exhausted all the time. I wanted to eat sugar and sweets all the time. There were times when I could not remember things I wanted to do. The holidays were the worst time for me. I just wanted them to be over. I did not want to go out. I just wanted to stay home. Now I can relax. I enjoyed the holidays. I enjoy going out. I do not feel exhausted all the time. I can do more after working all day and I lost weight."

-Lorraine E., New Britain

Joint pain in the hips and knees are gone

"Before I started the Nutrition Response Testing program, every time I ate I would feel pain in my lower stomach area and experience bloating that was very painful. I also had joint pain in my hips and knees and would experience headaches frequently. Since I have been on the program my stomach pain is gone. I no longer bloat after I eat and have as a result lost almost 15 pounds. The joint pain in my hips and knees are gone and the headaches are no longer frequent."

-Amy R., Meriden

I've lost about 30 pounds

"I was at my highest weight ever and feeling sluggish, tired and miserable. No energy to do anything! My ankles were always swollen at the end of the day. I was always snacking even after meals. After about 5 days of a changed diet the first change was my skin felt different. I kept touching my face. The bloating was going away. Now after almost 3 months I've lost about 30 pounds and my ankles are normal again. Most of the aches and pains I used to experience especially when getting up after sitting awhile are gone! I don't have urges to snack anymore. I am definitely more satisfied and less hungry"

-Nancy N., New Britain

Feeling the end result of being symptom free is the best reward

"Prior to Dr. Don implementing Nutrition Response Testing in his office I sought treatment for symptoms of fatigue, joint pain, heart palpitations, mental exhaustion, body temperature fluctuations, and digestive issues from a naturopath after the medical model of being prescribed synthroid for an "underactive thyroid" sent me into a tailspin. I responded well to the supplements from my naturopath but even after a year and a half there was still a piece missing and that piece I have found out was Nutrition Response Testing. By Dr. Don muscle testing different areas/organs of my body and my own body identifying exactly where the stress or dysfunction as well as the nutritional supplement to support that area...my health has rebounded. It all makes so much sense. What better method of correcting the cause of the problem then to ask the body what it wants. Nutrition response testing has improved my health tremendously. Dr. Don helped me change my eating habits by helping me realize the affects my food choices were having on my overall health...and I always thought I had a healthly diet. My biggest hurdle was realizing processed food and sugar, even though it was a smaller fraction of my diet, is not really "food". With Dr. Don's support and my genuine effort I have a whole different perspective on what a healthy diet consists of. I'll be the first to admit that it didn't happen overnight but as I felt my symptoms fading, and my energy level increasing, that alone convinced me to stick with it because feeling the end result of being symptom free is the best reward...it lets me be the best grandma, mom, wife, sister, friend and person I can be. I'M SO HAPPY TO BE ME THESE DAYS!!

-Donna M., Berlin

My energy level is close to normal

"Before starting the Nutrition Response Testing Program I had frequency of urination, my neck was stiff and I had arthritic tendencies. I felt my right leg tingling and twitching. My energy level was low. Since being on the program the urination already has been reduced. My neck and right leg are much better and my energy level is close to normal."

-Sheldon C., Manchester

My foot is pain free

"Before I was on the Nutrition Response Testing Program the bottom of my foot hurt and walking was painful. I went to a podiatrist and he said I needed a joint replacement on my second toe. I sought Dr. Piccoli and the Nutrition Response Testing Program and by taking the recommended supplements and weaning off sugar and carbohydrates, my foot is pain free."

-Shelley K., Wethersfield

The headaches have gone away

"I was always tired and I wasn't sleeping well. I had headaches almost every day. My body felt logey just about every day. Now, I am not tired during the day any longer and am sleeping better. The headaches have gone away and the logey feeling is almost completely gone."

-Michael G., Meriden

Enjoy a restful night's sleep

"Prior to beginning the Nutrition Response Testing Program, I suffered from bilateral knee pain which radiated to my ankles and only worsened upon physical exertion. As a then 21 year old, I spent 3 months in physical therapy after an orthopedist diagnosed chondromalacia ("runner's knee"...cartilage inflammation under knee cap). I did get some short lived pain relief but it again reached the point where just walking around campus brought on extreme knee pain. No longer wanting to consume Advil like it was candy, I set up my Nutrition Response Testing appointment. Within a couple of weeks of using these whole food supplements I was able to have my first pain free workout in over a year! Since being on the program, Dr. Piccoli has also been helping me fine tune my vegetarian lifestyle to be sure my body is getting the proper nutrition it needs. This knowledge, complimented with whole food nutritional supplements my body is testing for, has increased my energy and stamina allowing my body to quickly recover from a workout, have pain free joints, be rid of chronic afternoon headaches, and enjoy a restful night's sleep."

-K.M., Berlin

The knee pain is almost gone

"I could not sleep at night. I had bad knee pain to where it was at the point that I had trouble going up and down the stairs. Now, I can sleep a little bit better and the knee pain is almost gone when I go up and down the stairs."

-Josh G., Meriden

I have lost 15 lbs

"I have always had an invisible aerobic wall at a max intensity training or racing (bicycles). I had also reached a ceiling with fitness level polar own index max of 45-that was 10 years ago. Now, after being on the NRT program, the invisible wall is gone and I have reached a polar own index of 51 and training has improved. Also by adjusting my diet I have lost 15 lbs."

-Ray D., New Britain

I am more alert and focused

"I was feeling tired and sluggish and also felt bloated and uncomfortable after meals. Now I feel much better. I am more alert and focused. I also have less stomach discomfort. I believe that coming to Dr. Piccoli has made me see that all things (mind and body) need to be right for an individual to actually say they are healthy. The goal of the doctor is to make that happen for his patients."

-Cheryl P., Kensington

I was able to dissolve and pass my kidney stone without discomfort

"I was dependent on Sudafed for my sinus headaches and stool softeners and laxatives. I had difficulty managing my diabetes and cholesterol. I had difficulty sleeping as well. Recently a blood test indicated the possibility of a kidney stone. Now my headaches are totally gone without the use of medications. I no longer need stool softeners or laxatives. My blood sugar levels have tested within the normal range for the past 6 months. My LDL and HDL levels continue to improve. I now have a risk factor of 1/2 average. Again, all of this has been done without prescription drugs. I sleep much better at night. I was able to dissolve and pass my kidney stone without discomfort."

-Marge C., Kensington

I have no joint aches or pains

"Before I came to Dr. Don, I was having constant joint aches, muscle pains and constant fatigue that I could not understand or shake off. Some days I could barely walk and other days I had the symptoms even while I was trying to sleep (thus keeping me awake with little rest or relief). Some days I could barely get up and couldn't bend my legs to put on my socks. This discomfort went on for 3-4 months and I did not know how to correct these symptoms. I went to my personal medical doctor, but he seemed to look at conventional problems suggesting a visit to a number of specialists such as physical therapists, rheumatoid doctors, blood tests or suggested just taking Advil. Nothing seemed to work or show any possible problems or solutions. I was beginning to think it was maybe in my head or this is what it is like to get old. I had a hard time keeping my mind on my work and not on this condition. Having been in good shape all my life, I thought I could figure out a solution, but I was almost ready to give up. In my effort to find a solution, I was lucky to find out about Dr. Don. After several visits and following the diet and nutritional supplement plan, I started to feel much better. Today, I am back to my normal self. I have no joint aches or pains. My sleep and resting habits allow me to get the rest I need. My energy level is equal to or better than I had a year ago."

I now have regained most of my old active lifestyle

In mid July, during a wrestling practice, I suffered some neck trauma that led to a significant (>50%) loss of strength and endurance in my left triceps. After two months of rest, the loss of strength and endurance only increased due to atrophy. At this point I came to Dr. Piccoli to see if he could adjust the neck and hopefully get back the left arm strength. It was then that I learned about his new endeavors into nutritional response testing. After several adjustments and no real progress with the left side strength, I felt it prudent to take actions to minimize any other aging effects as the many activities that lead to my vitality were eliminated or at least squelched due to the injury. At this point in time I had a lot of anxiety about my ability to participate in these activities and was succumbing to the notion that a significant change in lifestyle was eminent to preserve my body. Consequently, in late November, I started working with Dr. Piccoli's nutrition response testing program. It is now mid January and there have been remarkable results. After finding some level of various toxins in my body (in several places including my neck and left arm). Dr. Piccoli found a combination of homeopathic supplements to detoxify me of these. I now have regained most of my old active lifestyle. While there have been other positive effects (higher energy levels, reduced necessity for thyroid hormones and others), the biggest benefit to me is the replacement of anxiety and depression with vitality as I returned to activities that I love."

I lost 20 lbs., lowered my cholesterol LDL and HDLs were much higher

"I was overweight, had nails that kept breaking and had high cholesterol. I was eating a lot of sugar-based items. After doing the Nutrition Response Testing Program I lost 20 lbs., lowered my cholesterol LDL and HDLs were much higher."

-Lori B., Meriden

I don't feel bloated anymore and feel more energized.

"The first problem which bothered me the most was my bloating. I never knew how I would feel the next day. I was always tired after work, which would cause me to have very high stress levels. My attitude would change often, leaving me unhappy and irritable. After seeing Dr. Piccoli and being on the Nutrition Response Program, I don't feel bloated anymore and feel more energized. My stress levels have significantly decreased leaving my mood and attitude to be normal. I actually feel really good! I get home after work, and keep going. I have a 4 year old, which I can now run around with more often without feeling exhausted all the time. My husband even sees the difference in me!"
