I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid, inflammatory, and osteoarthritis, severe fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, degenerative disc disease, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome, restless leg syndrome, severe migraine head aches, and edema in my left arm and have now been diagnosed with Dercum's disease. I saw a news segment on WSFA 12 ( in-the-news.php) about the CVAC and Hope Wellness.  I came in and started sessions and CVAC has changed my life.  Before CVAC I took narcotic pain medicine everyday, two to four times a day.  I had pain everywhere all the time.  My restless leg syndrome is gone now.  I had skeletal pain, that i would say on a scale of one to ten was a fifty and it was a constant fifty.  Now, it is sporadic and manageable. In fact all of my pain has improved.  Some more than others but, I have seen great improvements.  I am now only taking pain medicine occasionally and I am no longer taking medicine to help me sleep.  I usually rest well now.   I have actually cut out all of my prescription medicine that I had been taking on a regular basis and now I just take nutritional supplements except for occasional bouts of pain.  I tell Laura and Joan all the time that I thank God for them and CVAC.

I was referred to Hope Wellness by my Chiropractor in July of 2010, to try and ease the pain of neuropathy in my arms and hands.  What I have come away with has been so much more.  Prior to July of 2010 I had endured several surgeries and health issues that doctors seemingly could not get under control.  My days consisted of pain, chronic fatigue, along with brain fog and memory loss.  The evening usually consisted to nightmares, night fevers and night sweats, none of which meant sleep.  My psychological well being was also taking a hit from the medicine I was taking and the burden of medical bills.  Living a normal life was becoming more difficult and living a pain free one was no longer an option.  Shortly after I began CVAC sessions I began to notice the neuropathy was becoming manageable due to pain reduction.  In January of 2011 I was diagnosed with Dercum's disease by Dr. Karen Herbst.  I began the prescribed Dercum's rotation in the CVAC shortly after.  Since January I have noticed a significant difference in my overall physical condition.  I find myself sleeping better, through most nights.  On most days my neuropathy is a non-factor during my daily routine.  My memory has improved and my energy level has picked up significantly.  The CVAC has also slowed the painful and crippling effect of Dercum's Disease, that until last summer had been winning the battle.  I can honestly say that if I hadn't found Hope Wellness, my life would not have neat the quality I enjoy today.  Joan and Laura supply the hope and the CVAC supplies the wellness.  Because of them, I not only know what I am fighting but, have the technology to fight with.

CVAC has allowed me to cut my cholesterol medications in half.  CVAC is also allowing me to control my type two diabetes without medication.  My doctor is weaning me off my anti-depressants due to improved stress management through my CVAC treatments.

In 2008, I was diagnosed with Dercum's disease.  Dercum's is a brutal chronic pain disease that has very debilitating symptoms.  It is the third rarest disease in the country.  It's so rare that few physicians know anything about it.  It is also genetic and, a dominant trait, at that.  Nine months after I was diagnosed, my two sons Christian and Gavin were diagnosed.  They were just eight and ten at the time, and were in an advanced stage of the disease. Needless to say, I was desperate to find a way to help my children and myself.  After seeing a number of doctors in Birmingham and Montgomery, to no avail,  we traveled to San Diego, California, to see the world authority on Dercum's disease, Dr. Karen Herbst MD., PHD.  We stayed in San Diego under her care for nine months.  During which time I was in a study group that was testing the effects CVAC sessions have on chronic pain.  Taking part in that study turned around the lives of me and my sons.  Before we went to San Diego, I was in pain constantly, so much pain that I barely slept and I could barely function.  I vomited from the pain constantly.  I had extreme inflammation and painful tumors that were multiplying at an alarming rate.  But, by far the worst part of all was watching my sons struggle and knowing what was going to happen to them if we could not find something that would help us all.  Both of my sons had to deal with horrible pain that was gradually increasing.  They were growing painful tumors.  My youngest son was unable to walk a large part of the time, and my oldest son was losing control and the feeling in his hands.  Not to mention the digestion problems, memory lapses, chronic fatigue, and other issues that we all had to deal with.  It wasn't long after I started with CVAC sessions, that I knew there was hope.  Within two weeks of my first session I was able to see some improvement.  It was the severe neuropathy, in my arms and feet, that responded first.  It all got better from there. Both of my sons were able to come off all their asthma medication, that they had both been on since shortly after birth.  And, neither one have had to use a rescue inhaler since.  My youngest son began walking better and it wasn't long before he was running and playing again.  My oldest son was improving and was able to run and play.  It was the best feeling in the world to see them just having fun like normal kids again.  We all knew we had really found something amazing.  I thank God, my mom, Dr. Karen Herbst, and the inventor of CVAC, Carl Linton, for giving us hope and putting us back on the path to a healthy life.  We still have a few bad days here and there but, we all know where we would be without CVAC.  After what I have experienced with CVAC and what I have seen it do for others, I am so excited to be able to use CVAC to do for others what God did for my family.  If you are having chronic health issues, especially chronic pain please know there is hope and it looks like a giant egg :).  Give us a call and see what CVAC can do for you!

Initially I was skeptical.  I came into Hope Wellness because of testimonies from people I knew who were seeing results from using the CVAC.  I have been suffering from peripheral neuropathy for over forty-two years.  I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost one leg and it did considerable damage to the other.  I also have diabetes.  Before coming to Hope Wellness the pain that I felt was unbelievable at times.  After a few weeks of using the CVAC, I knew that this was really going to help.  My pain has been greatly reduced. I have more energy and much improved sleep.  My neuropathy, is also, greatly improved.  At night I do not have the burning tissue pain that used to be unbearable.  In my stump I had pulsing stabbing pain that is greatly reduced and sometimes gone.  Overall my whole health has improved including my diabetes.

My goal in coming to Hope Wellness was to increase my health.  I love the energy and general feeling of wellness I have experienced. My sensitivity to gluten has decreased.  I feel as though my lymph is draining better.  My digestion problems have improved.  I have frequently had pain in my gallbladder and it is also, much improved.

I started CVAC sessions on April 20, 2011 with a very deep venous statis ulcer with which, I had for three years.  And which had not responded to medical treatment.  I was in great pain.  After several sessions the ulcer is smaller with good granulation tissue.  I would like to thank Laura and Joan for their kindness and God like personalities.  They are genuine people.

Before coming to CVAC I couldn't play sports at all, and if I did I would be hurting for days, because of my joints.  Now I can do anything without hurting, also I have more energy to do things.

I am eighty six years old.  I have congestive heart failure and osteo and rheumatoid arthritis.  My swelling has improved considerably.  The pain in my hands was so severe that I was unable to sleep.  Now, after using the CVAC, it is minor and much improved.  I was unable to walk across a room without being short of breath.  Today before I came to my CVAC session I vacuumed three rooms in my house and mopped two.  I could have never done that before CVAC.

I had a great deal of numbness in my feet do to chemotherapy for colon and liver cancer in 2005.  I also had a great deal of pain in my knees and feet from running and exercising.  I've had high blood pressure for thirty plus years.  All of these symptoms vastly improved since my CVAC sessions started.  The pain in my knees and feet is almost completely gone as is the numbness.  I have reduced my blood pressure medicine.  And my conditioning in my running has improved dramatically.  I can't wait for more improvements!

I have struggled with female issues for ten years.  CVAC has seemed to restore the healthy lifestyle I remember.  After going to pelvic pain specialist in Birmingham, Chattanooga, and Washington D.C., I was convinced that there were no answers.  Then I sought help from an osteopathic physician, who recommended CVAC.  It took a couple of months to really see the progress but, after intense detoxification, my body responded and I now have a normal healthy relationship with my husband and no more female issues.

I was introduced to CVAC by a long time friend.  He had heard that the Montgomery Cancer Center had informed me that there was nothing else they could do for me.  My friend called me and wanted me to try the CVAC.  I met with Laura Morris, March 10, 2011, and began my CVAC sessions.  I began that day.  I have had three sessions everyday for five days a week.  I would recommend CVAC for improving your lungs, increasing your red blood cell count, giving you energy, making you feel better, and increasing the function of your immune system.  I have seen proof of this in laboratory test and scans preformed by my doctors.  I breathe much better and have more energy.  I also do not snore anymore.  In all I can say that I have a better quality of life.  I have been in the forth stage of Renal Cell Carcinoma since February 2007.  I have had several estimates on how long I will live from my oncologist and my internist.  They both guessed that I had about six months left on the first day of March.  I plan to live as well as I can for as long as I can with the help of the CVAC.
