RAY CASTRO’S EXTREME MAKEOVER
How Our Lives Changed in Just 2 ½ Months!
I was not planning to submit an essay for the Extreme Makeover contest. However, after attending last night’s Week 5 session, I realized how much Dr. Yachter’s program has impacted our lives. Session 5 was on how to read product labels and determine good and bad products. The next morning I began cleaning out our pantry, cupboards, and refrigerator of all bad products. We had been overturning many of our food items already, but I had not gone through everything and still had lots of bad stuff in the house. After I finished, I was not expecting to see the crazy sight piled at the front door: almost 20 bags and boxes of food that were toxic to our cells.
I just sat staring at all the bags and tears of joy rolled down my face – I realized that our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren would never be the same again. They would be lives of health! Our blended family consists of 6 grown children and 7 grandchildren. Due to my partner Ray’s commitment to health through Dr. Yachter’s programs, everyone in the family has been impacted; from stopping immunizations, to changes in nutrition, body care, environmental products, and of course chiropractic care.
Ray evangelizes Dr. Yachter’s programs to everyone he meets; family, friends, coworkers, even strangers!
I am so grateful to Ray’s commitment to all of Dr. Yachter’s programs. Our families will benefit for generations to come. That’s why I felt compelled to write our story – well, really Ray’s story, because he inspired me so much through Dr. Yachter and his programs!
BACKGROUND: I met Ray over five years ago – he was plagued with multiple medical conditions. He told me how healthy and active he was most of his life, but all that changed when at 40, Ray underwent surgery to remove his thyroid due to a tumor. This set off a host of medical conditions, addressed with conventional medications, which caused more problems: high blood pressure, low potassium, sleep apnea, severe headaches, failing vision, increase in his chronic arrhythmia (the doctors wanted to put a pacemaker in him), anxiety, low energy, gas, nausea, swelling, joint pain and more. Nutrition was barely addressed by his medical doctors. The answer was always another prescription. Ray felt lousy most of the time for the last 15 years!
JULY 2009: So there we were, two young-minded, yet obese grandparents, feeling the aging process negatively impacting our lives. Aches and pains impeding our once active lifestyles. How had we turned into two Couch Potatoes, watching TV every night, eating bad food, and then sleeping restlessly, only to awake with low energy, and more aches and pains? During 2009, Ray ended up in the hospital three times. Batteries of tests were performed with no real conclusions for the cause of his ailments. His doctor increased his blood pressure medication, which exacerbated his problems.
AUGUST 2009: Then the storm hit… or should I say, the blessing came, complete with a rainbow and Pot-O-Gold! In August of 2009, Ray went on a business trip overseas and ended up in the hospital again. When he came home, he had respiratory problems and anxiety so bad he couldn’t go to work. His doctor admitted him to the hospital for a “few” tests. They kept him for three days to perform tests then released him with Xanax and Paxil, and a list of other doctors to see and tests to take.
Our lives had become a nightmare. Ray was panicked to be alone – he couldn’t sleep more than a couple hours at a time - his blood pressure was through the roof – he had anxiety so bad, he couldn’t breathe – he kept feeling like he was underwater – he had severe headaches – his arrhythmia was constant - he was in so much anguish – we couldn’t do anything or go anywhere…
After about a month of this surreal craziness, he was referred to Dr. Yachter by Carmen Betances who is a patient of Dr. Yachter. We are so grateful to her for telling Ray about Dr. Yachter! It was unfortunate that Ray had to endure such hardship, but the blessing is that we found Dr. Yachter, our Pot-O-Gold!!!
