Success Stories

April 26, 2010 - My name is Herbert Blanchard, I am 61 years old, and have been seeing Dr. Porter for many years.  My family and I began seeing Dr. Bob Porter when he first began his practice and have continued seeing Dr. Debbie Porter in order to keep ourselves healthy naturally.  I have numerous medical problems, deteriorating nerves in my spinal column due to a hereditary disease, corporal tunnel in both writs and knees, arthritis, various disc problems in the spine, sleep apnea and sinus problems.  The many years of chiropractic adjustments have allowed me to continue to function better than I could have hoped.  Dr. Debbie realizing my many issues asked if I would consider going through the entire procedure utilizing the new BAX 3000 laser treatments.  I reviewed the information and decided that I had nothing to lose and if it helped only one thing, I had everything to gain.  About half way through the treatments I noticed that my arthritis in my fingers were notable improved, especially when I first awoke in the mornings.  My fingers used to be very stiff and sore so I would place them under hot water and move them around until they would limber up and become functional.  They would still hurt during the day.  Now I wake with my fingers limber from the very beginning and with about 75% less pain which last all day.  I also suffer from my sinus becoming impacted and infected. I started taking a table spoon of natural wild flower honey from a local bee keeper daily several years ago which has reduced the number of times I have infections to once around December or January.  I usually ended up taking antibiotics to clear it up.  Since completing the BAX 3000 treatments I have just gone through the winter with no problems with my sinus.  I just wanted to say that the treatments have made my life a little better and more tolerable.  Thank you Dr. Debbie for offering such a new medical technology as the BAX 3000 that helps me function a little better daily and naturally without taking all the medication.

In the Will of God,
Herbert Blanchard

I was a test subject for sunburn treatment with the BAX-3000. After 2 days in the sun watching races at Talladega I was burned pretty bad, even with the use of sunscreen. I was asked to try the BAX-3000 to help treat the pain from the burned areas and reluctantly accepted - mostly due to viewing the treatment of a sunburn with laser light as voodoo medicine. Even after the treatment I remained skeptical. But by the morning, without having used aloe or bactine I have to admit that there wasn't any pain in the sunburned areas and felt normal. The bright redness of the burns were still there, just not the pain - nor was there numbness. It just felt normal. I still went through the nasty process of skin pealing in the days to follow after the sunburn but there wasn't any pain or tenderness in the areas after treatment. As a matter of fact the next morning after treatment I was running around in denim jeans that covered the burns on my thighs, knees, and calves without any discomfort. I still remain a little skeptical as I would try it again with the same results, but i'm not willing to go out and get sunburned to that degree again just to do it again. It made a believer out of me to reduce the pain.

For eighteen months I suffered from an onset of unexplained unsteadiness and a general dizziness that manifested without warning – literally I would hit the deck without forewarning signs of impending vertigo.

After seeing several prominent ENT doctors, one of which I saw weekly for six months, I became resigned to a life of rocking and rolling without the benefit of music. It became a desperate situation in which I modified my lifestyle and limited many activities that I enjoyed for years – sailing was especially difficult to give up along with canoeing.

Not one physician could explain the adult onset of vertigo. No pills, no therapy, no nothing could alleviate the unpredictable side effects of vertigo.

After seeing Dr. Porter for several weeks regarding a painful right hip and a general ‘hitch-in-my-get-along’, she noticed that I became very dizzy when turning over during the adjustment treatment. My vertigo secret was explained and she responded by saying, ‘are you willing to try my allergy machine”. “YES, I’ll try anything”, even though deep down I did not hold out for a favorable outcome. Enter MIRACLES.

After two treatments a couple of weeks apart I noticed that things might be getting better. No longer did I have to lie for a moment during my regular adjustments. No longer did I have to sit for a few minutes after rising up from a lying position. Over the next several weeks my vertigo continued to dissipate and after six weeks I have yet to have a recurrence. Are there still miracles? I personally know of one.
