Patient Testimonials

"My son Chris had been diagnosed with ADD and anxiety when he was in 1^st grade. For seven years we tried all types of ADHD medication with no good results; only the bad side effects were visible, such as weight loss and paranoia. His grades were still bad and he passed grades only because his FCAT level was ok. Chris was very introverted and antisocial. Since seeing Dr. Walsh, Chris has made a complete turn around. He is no longer taking any ADD medication, and he is no longer seeing a psychiatrist. He has gained weight and grown to a height of above average for his age. Now Chris is very sociable and enjoys being around people. He has joined karate and at school he has joined the swim team. His grades are holding up and he is trying his best to get on the honor roll. Thank you so much Dr. Walsh!"—Grace DeRosa

"Before I came to Dr. Walsh I weighed 242 lbs although I worked outside at a fairly physical job. I slept poorly, was tired most of the time and just plain didn't feel well. I couldn't walk more than 1/4 mile wihout my back and legs hurting. I thought my diet was ok, but it needed improvement. Four months later I'm down to 214 lbs and still losing pounds and inches. I've gone from a tight size 20 to a 16. I'm walking 2 1/2-3 miles 5-6 days a week an have more energy than I can ever remember. I sleep great since I've changed my diet. Dr. Walsh found that I'm sensitive to sugar and corn. Since I've been seeing Dr. Walsh my life and outlook have complete changed for the better!" –Priscilla Gell

"Before I found Dr. Walsh I was depressed, felt sluggish and had no feeling in my left hand from continued MS symptoms! Every 3 months I would lose feeling in one leg or both while having opposite sensations of hot and cold. I could only get about 3-6 hours of very interrupted sleep every night. Now, I sleep much better and feel rested. After vacation, I felt an MS flare-up coming on, but by following Dr. Walsh's advice and supplement schedule, it was only a mild one-week flare-up instead of a horrible 3 month episode as in the past. Over all I am so much better, happier, and more energy. In a typical year I used to only have 2 or 3 good MS-free months and now in 9 months I have only had one slightly uncomfortable week! It feels like a miracle!" –Holly LaBatt

"My son Phoenix was a constant worry because of his asthmatic symptoms. For almost three years he has sounded like a little old man, whether he would be sleeping, playing or just sitting. We called him our "happy wheezer" as did the doctors at HRMC on six hospital stays! Wheezing was a way of life! And coughing fits so horrible it busted blood vessels all over his face. His nebulizer was his best friend! In the last several weeks under Dr. Walsh's regiment you would never even be able to tell Phoneiz was ever sick! NO WHEEZING!! I never thought he would ever sleep peacefully but he does now!" –Darlene Kutz

"Before I brought my 10 month old daugher Emily to Dr. Walsh she could not move. She cried all the time and could not even sit up by herself. Pushing herself up on her arms was about all she could do and that was just getting her chest off the ground. She also was severely constipated. After three weeks of seeing Dr. Walsh she was a different child. She got herself to situp and crawl. Now she is one year old and is awesome. She can walk and she is so much happier than before. Also she goes to the bathroom everyday. Dr. Walsh is a great doctor and person and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Walsh for giving me back my baby." –Elizabeth Hewitt

“I have always had a large tummy, basically, I always looked pregnant. Physically, I felt bloated and gaseous. In two weeks time I lost nearly seven inches from my tummy and don’t feel bloated or gaseous at all. The results have been amazing. The miracle thing that has happened for me … I’ve gone from a size 20 to 16 since I began!” –Charlotte Guttenberg

“Restless leg syndrome made sitting still in the evening impossible and sleep difficult with interruptions. My husband was ready to have us sleep in separate beds. The difference using the oil (Dr. Walsh gave me) is PHENOMINAL!! No RLS any more! My legs are calm and stay put and my husband is happy!” –Nancy Perrone

"My sons both had issues with allergies and asthma. They were on Zyrtec, SIngular, Advair and occasional nebulizer (Pulmacort). One child had dark circles under his eyes (daily) and every night I changed his night shirt because it was soaking wet with sweat. My othe rson had a chronic cough, dark circles, and was always tired. After receiving nutritional and chiropractic care, we are off of all meds except for Advair for one child, which we only do once a day. The kids have adjusted to rice milk and never ask for their old favorites ice cream, pudding and yogurt. They feel better, look better and love to see Dr. Walsh! Coming to Dr. Walsh was the best thing I did for my boys. I just wish I had done it sooner!" --Renee G.

"In January my total cholesterol was 241, triglycerides 187, HDL 52, and LDL was 152. My first visit with Dr. Walsh was in May. I made a commitment that I would do whatever he asked of me. In July, my total cholesterol awas 193 (DOWN 48 points), triglycerides 151, HDL 47, and LDL dropped an amazing 36 points! I owe this to my commitment to Dr. Walsh and to Dr. Walsh for his expertise in making me well." --Kathleen Harrell

"I have severe environmental allergies which led to adult-onset asthma in my late 30's. Each fall, I would succumb to my allergies and end up with an upper respiratory infection and at the doctor's office with a prescription of antibiotics. In the fall of 1996 at the age of 45, I developed a severe respiratory infection that my MD could not get in control. It progressed to my lungs and he referred me to a pulmonologist who prescribed both antibiotics and steroids. During the course of the next 9 months I became sicker and sicker. After a sinus surgery in April 1997, both my sinuses and lungs cleared up. The following November however, I was sick again and on both antibiotics and steroids until the following April. This pattern continued every year until the ENT recommended another surgery in April 2006. In May 2006 I began seeing Dr. Walsh. He assured me that my winter would be "steroid and antibiotic free." November and December came and I did not get sick. In January, however, I developed a respiratory infection which progressed quickly to my lungs and I developed a fever. Dr. Walsh calmly assured me that my body was fighting the sinus infection and that it was a good thing. He performed a nutritional test on me and added a supplement at that time. THREE DAYS LATER I was not only not sick, but I no longer had any congestion in my sinuses or lungs. It is now May 2007 and I am still free of sinus congestion. For the last 26 years, the winter months have proven bad for my health. For the last 11 years, I have spent 5 to 6 months of each year on antibiotics and steroids. This year, it took THREE DAYS to make me well. Dr. Walsh is truly gifted and has my undying gratitude." --Kathleen Harrell

"The area behind my scar was intensely painful. I had constant discomfort and pain that would come and go. This was 4 years after my C-section surgery. Now the pain is gone! I can do yoga positions again that I was unable to do because my scar couldn't take the direct pressure. With continued care from Dr. Walsh the pain completely disappeared. I am so thankful I cam to Dr. Walsh first and not my gynecologist who I'm sure would have cut me open again!" --Michelle Porter

"I was two weeks away from having surgery on my neck. This meant 2-4 weeks off work, wearing a cervical colar for 6 weeks and a lifetime of limited motion in my neck. I was in serious pain and could not sleep at night. My neck and shoulder felt as if the muscles were being ripped out. After seeing Dr. Walsh I am now completely cured! Dr. Walsh was able to make corrections so that the buldging disc was able to return to its normal position. He also took the time to pray with me. Through God's healing powers and Dr. Walsh's willingness to be used by God, I am healed. –Tony Venable

"I suffered from Fibromyalgia and numerous other symptoms lumped together by my physicians. Irritable Bowel Syndrome kept me confined to my home. I took many anti-inflammatories (prescription as well as over the counter) for a lot of muscle pain and stiffness. I did not sleep without a sleeping pill. I had heart palpitations I took medicine for (a prescription of course) and high blood pressure that would not go below the high normal range even with medication. Since following Dr. Walsh's nutrition program, I have nearly no pain associated with Fibromyalgia. I no longer take prescriptions for pain, just occasional Tylenol, Advil. I sleep well, have no heart palpitations and no longer take those medications and my blood pressure has dropped to the normal range. I'm looking forward to eliminating that medication also! IBS is a thing of the past!" --Madeline Cote

“My 9 year old daughter has had ear congestion that caused hearing trouble on and off since she was four or five, perhaps longer. The negative pressure in her ear caused damage to her ear drum and one of her 3 ear bones resulting in dangerous surgery to prevent total hearing loss. Even after surgery we were considering putting tubes in to prevent further damage—her pediatrician and her specialist (MD) tried different medications in spray and pill form. Finally we stopped all medications and found they were making no significant difference. We started nutritional and chiropractic care with Dr. Walsh about the time of our last specialist appointment. We took the long drive from Cape Canaveral each week—with three young children this was not easy but it was worth it. Faith’s hearing appointment yesterday showed the first normal hearing test we have ever seen. Her MD could not explain why! He doesn’t want to see her for another year! We are overjoyed that she can hear normally and won’t have to have any more surgeries. Thank you, Dr. Walsh and Ann, for your fine care and dedication to healing through natural non-invasive methods that bring true results. Bravo for Care Chiropractic & Wellness Center and for my daughter! She also had trouble paying attention and keeping up in school last year and was painfully shy. I am pleased to say she just finished first in her 3^rd grade class and has no trouble making friends.” –LP Combs

"I was seeing several doctors and was diagosed with high blood sugar (~325 mg/dl). I was on 7 different medications for treatment of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and pain in my low back. I was also experiencing extreme fatigue, hair loss and depression. Instead of getting better, I was becoming heavier and sicker each month from the side effects of the medications. The doctors were baffled about what to do with my conditions. Under the supervision of Dr. Walsh, I went on a 4-week fast using only Living Fuel, Premium Red and water. I stopped using all the medications. I have no more low back pain and my blood sugars, cholesterol and blood pressure are down. I have lost 50 lbs, which is the biggest accomplishment of all for me. I thank God and Dr. and Ann Walsh for their patience, prayers and encouragement! Dr. and Ann Walsh have compassion and healing hearts to see God's people walking in health and wellness! --Annamarie Fetterman

I had experienced intense frequent asthma attacks since moving to the area in 2002. I was unable to keep up with my exercise regimen and was kept up at night with difficulty breathing. In February 2004 friends recommended I see Dr. Walsh but I was skeptical. I had been a lifelong asthma sufferer constantly on asthma prevention medications and antiobiotics. After seeing Dr. Walsh, I am able to exercise again and do things without wondering if I'll have an attack. Dr. Walsh has identified several things that I should avoid eating to prevent the attacks. I also feel that my body is better able to heal itself. Before I would be sick for days at a time and now it is only a day or two, if at all. I used to get sick every 2-3 months and now it is very rare. Thanks Dr. Walsh and Ann!" --Ron Lorusso

"When I came to Dr. Walsh in February 2004, I was on Synthroid (and told that I'd be on it forever). Dr. Walsh put me on natural supplements and homepathic drops to support my thyroid. My endocrinologist noticed my levels improving continuously and told me that I didn't need synthroid anymore! I was "normal" again! I do not need the natural thyroid support anymore either. Dr. Walsh has also helped me with side effects of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. Thanks Dr. Walsh and Ann!" -- Danna Lorusso

“I went to see Dr. Walsh because I had constant pain down my arm. He was caring and comforting. He prayed with me and started treating me immediately. Within a couple of weeks, the pain was dramatically reduced and within a few weeks, completely gone. I trusted Dr. Walsh so much I brought both my children, Jeffrey 9, and Kaitlyn 5, to see him. He treated my son for back and leg pain. Jeffrey said he felt comfortable and at ease with Dr. Walsh because he explained to him what he was going to do before he did it. My son’s pain is gone. Dr. Walsh treated my daughter for asthma and kidney weakness. He made spinal adjustments, used acupressure, and tested her for food sensitivities. He made us aware of foods we should avoid with Kaitlyn. He put her on homeopathic drops, vitamins, and cod liver oil. As a result, Kaitlyn has been able to reduce her daily asthma medication with no asthma attacks. Her body and resistance are much stronger. She used to get sick if she was around anyone else who was sick. She has made it through the first couple months of school without catching her classmates’ illnesses. She seems to be stronger physically and has an increased endurance for walking. Thank you Dr. Walsh for your gentle and caring spirit and for how you have helped our family!” --Susan Swahlan

“My name is Jay McNeil and I am 28 years old and would like to say that I highly recommend Care Chiropractic. Dr. Walsh and his staff are by far some of the most enlightening people I have been under the care of. I had severe lower back pain as well as neck pain from playing sports and years on the job. Within a four-month period my body began to heal and I could feel the difference and the pain began to subside. My mobility has improved and I no longer feel the stress my body once endured. I felt very comfortable with every visit and I am very pleased with the results of my care. Dr. Walsh is indeed a very serious and caring man when it comes to his work. If you are looking to improve your quality of life, the proper and professional service you will receive at Care Chiropractic is one of the easiest choices you will ever make. I would like to say Thank You, to Dr. Walsh for helping me realize that you do not have to live with the pain that burdens our bodies during the course of our lives.” --Jay McNeil

"I had suffered it seems like forever with frequent migraine headaches. The pain was excruciating and I couldn’t function when I had one. Medical doctors prescribed all kinds of different medications but nothing helped. Gee! I can remember how awful it felt when these migraines were in full bloom, even taking the medication made me sick to my stomach, not to mention the after affects. I was unable to stand, seat or even lay down, and sometimes the headache would last for days. I was miserable. I shutter just to think about it. As a percussionist in the Second Chance band, there was no need for me to play the drums, the beating was already in my head. A friend of mine was seeing Dr. Walsh at CARE Chiropractic & Wellness Center, so I decided to let him see if he could help me. Boy! Am I glad I did! He got at the root cause of my headaches. The chiropractic adjustments helped, but he also tested me for food sensitivities. He found that I was sensitive to chicken. It's so bad that when I eat chicken it brings on a migraine. Since I have gotten chiropractic care and eliminated chicken, my headaches have ceased! Dr. Walsh’s knowledge and wisdom is very effective. Those that know me, all they have to see is how I suffered for so long with migraines, and now they can’t believe that I have not complained of a single head pain. Praise God!" --Loren J. Julaton

“Before coming to CARE Chiropractic & Wellness Center I had basically decided that I would have to live with headaches and a stiff neck for the rest of my life. My energy level was next to nil, I always looked tired, and fatigue was a way of life. My only escape was occasional Tylenol when I could take no more pain. Two years I had lived like that. A friend very highly recommended Dr. Walsh to me. The report was that he was good, gentle and very helpful to people who have lived with pain for extended periods of time. From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted with care and treated like a person and not just a patient. Dr. Walsh clearly laid out a plan of action and thoroughly explained just how and why he would be treating me. The first treatment was so gentle I questioned his ability. But the next day, proved he knew his stuff. I had no headaches. I felt my energy return and fatigue was no longer an issue. My posture even began to improve. I find Dr. Walsh to be very skillful in his diagnosis and treatment of the problem. He is very gentle in his approach and genuine in his care for others. I have never had a Dr. pray for me on the initial visit. I thought that was cool! In my opinion chiropractic care does not get any better than it does at CARE Chiropractic & Wellness Center!” --Tim D. Franklin

“For several years I had been walking through the pain in my feet - like walking on glass! A girlfriend had a similar problem & had gone to different doctors & tried different treatments. Because nothing she tried gave her any lasting relief, I never considered "following in her footsteps". Then my husband became a patient of Dr. Walsh's following an accident. When he would come home, I would ask about Dr. Walsh's procedures; and since I had worked for a Chiropractor for many years in Ft. Lauderdale, I thought I would give him a try. Becoming a patient of Dr. Walsh's has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Besides such a friendly office where I feel I am among friends, I am proud to refer people to such a good Doctor. Oh, and by the way - I am again walking on the beach barefooted, getting up in the morning without stiff, painful feet, and no more heel pain!” --Mary Lou Dunsford

Also, I was reluctant to mention a bladder that had all of a sudden started leaking, but Ann assured me it was all right to tell Dr. Walsh. I figures that Dr. Walsh had already solved some of my other complaints; he was a good person to begin with. Thankfully Dr. Walsh had a homeopathic remedy, which cleared up my problem within days! I am no longer afraid to mention any complaint, thanks to Ann & Dr. Walsh." --Mary Lou Dunsford
