From Severe Fatigue to Walking Nearly Three Hours Without Rest

The different kind of, especially than I had in my past, in my life, like four or five different ones, they had the same protocol. But my condition was getting worse, worse, worse, worse. My name is Carlos Ballesteros. I live in a little town in North Florida. I have been working as a dairy m- manager for the last 15 years. I am veterinarian from Colombia. I have this diagnosis about the polycystic kidney disease. I had that diagnosis, like, about 20 years ago, and I have been working with some specialists since, say, maybe 15, 16 years ago. And the last two years, my kidney function get worse, very bad. I had to stop working there because my health condition. My health condition get very, very, very bad, so I wasn't able to do my responsibilities over there in the farm. Because I wasn't feeling too good, and actually I was thinking that maybe it was my last day in this part of eternity. Our friends, they found the Dr. Bismad and made the contact and everything, and we start with her. This adventure, we call that adventure, medical adventure, and different is a huge different. In that time, I wasn't able to work my regular schedule, my regular hours. I was very tired, very fatigue. My blood pressure was very high. I was very weak, but I wasn't able to just walk, only walk. I need to stop and rest, like two, three times to get there. So I wasn't no good to work my regular job. It was very huge frustration for me because I wasn't able to do any physical activity. I wasn't able to sleep. I wasn't able to rest. Pain in my low back was terrible, was terrible for me that, that situation. They prescribe all the time the same things, medicine for the cholesterol, medicine for the blood pressure, and some supplements because my condition generate a lot of anemia, a very bad anemia. This friend, she's a nurse. She was in charge of my condition. She told me, say, "Carlos, we found something, a specialist in Texas and work in this area and exactly with your condition." We had the first appointment with her, and was a- amazing. It was amazing because the viewpoint from her to do the diagnosis, to do the treatment was something new for us. I never hear that about my specialists. This is my first time in my life that I feel what is the real medicine. It was a big change in my mind, my heart, my everything. Before then, Dr. Bismad have a specialist here. I went with my wife over there, but was a very dark, very dark appointment, I say that, was very terrible, was never hope. Everything was negative. But when we start with Dr. Bismad was total different because the experience, because the knowledge that she has and everything that she shared with us. I found the real help for my condition. I found the real hope for my condition. Everything was natural supplements. So I start taking that, and let's see, like three weeks, four weeks after that, I start feeling better. My fatigue and my weakness was disappearing little by little. I started sleeping better. Something that was amazing for me was I was in Texas, and I start the, some therapies over there. I found some parks close to that area where the Kidney Institute is, and I say, "I want to walk. I want to see how I can feel, how I feel walking." For a long time, I have not experienced to walk like that, and was two hours and forty minutes, and I feel so good. The plans that she offered for us about the diagnosis, about the treatment, about the therapies and everything, it was integral program and was very interesting for me. To have that interesting from her in my life and my health condition was big change for me, was a big change. It was a phenomenal because like I mentioned to you, I have like four or five different nephrologists, specialists. They never tried to find something else. They was the same one, the same protocol, the same things. For me, it was the first time everything that she offered to me or she provide for me, was the first time in my life. I see the results in me. I don't think there is any another place to go. That is a beautiful place, beautiful people, and I appreciate that. The knowledge that she has, the experience sh- that she have, I told her, it's a gift from the Lord to her to help us, to help the people.
