From our patients:

Dr Amen,
We met you in May on the airplane from CA to AZ. My daughter was just at your clinic and we were returning home from having her scanned. You were so kind to talk to us about her scans. I just wanted to update you on how she is doing. We had tried a ton of medications in the past with her. I tried a lot of alternative medicine things too. I always searched for ways to help her. We were desperate when we brought her to your clinic. The medications where making her worse, her grades were dropping when we took her off of medications, and she was having suicidal thoughts.
After her appointment at your clinic, she is now taking 4 Neurolinks 2x a day, plus the medication the doctor recommended. She is now doing so much better. She is continuing to follow the gluten free casein free diet, not always happy about it, but is continuing. She is getting all "As" and "Bs" in school. She appears to have more friends this year. She has not been having suicidal thoughts, and rarely needs to talk to counselors at school (she was seeing them very frequently). Before we came to your clinic, I wondered if she would ever be able to get a job secondary to her difficulty with emotional regulation, thought flexibility, attention issues, and social skills problems. I am very happy to say 5 months later she just got her first job. I am praying she is able to keep the job, but so far she seems to be doing OK.
I want to thank you so much for all you do at your clinic. You are giving my daughter a better chance of a typical lifestyle. She may always struggle with some issues, especially social skills, but she has come a very long way in just 5 months.
Thank you again,

A grateful mother

 

“After years of searching for an answer we came to the Amen Clinics with confusion and sorrow thinking all hope was lost. You have been the bright light in a sea of darkness. I want to thank you personally, your staff and the Amen Clinics for offering such a complete rounded approach to healing our son. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure the right diagnosis, treatment and direction…that made the true difference in our sons’ life. Your vast knowledge in the field of Psychiatry/Neurology has given us the answers to better our son’s life, and really, that is what it’s all about, a better quality of life for our son.”

“Wow! What a change in my life. I had been seriously ill for the most part of the previous 10 years and had undergone many surgeries. I was very sick, very tired, had reached appoint of depression and felt my life was no more useful. I no longer enjoyed life. My doctor had reached the decision that I needed “shock treatments”; however, I simply refused. It was at that time that my friend talked to my wife and I about the Amen Clinics. The idea of getting on an airplane and flying to California seemed almost impossible. However, I went to California for part of three days to see the doctors and staff at the Amen Clinic. They explained step by step what test they were planning to do. After the testing was done…I headed back to Texas. I still had contact with the doctors through phone conferences and emails. It was determined that I had quite a few food allergies; therefore, they clearly explained what food I should not eat and what I should eat and also what “food supplements” they recommended. I was determined to follow their suggestion religiously. It has been six months since I visited the Amen Clinics. I am now off all of my prescription medications, I have lost 35 pounds, my vital signs are great and I am able to work 10 - 12 hours a day (even physical work, such as, carpentry work and yard work). I enjoy life today as I did more than 10 years ago. I believe with all my heart that my visit to the Amen Clinics saved my life; therefore, I hope to share my experience with others who are going through health difficulties. There is always hope.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. Alex has never been better. I feel like his real personality and his soul have been released. He is happy! He is at peace. He doesn’t worry, panic or over-react. He tells me about his day, he is funnier and more perceptive than ever. He is meeting the challenges of school without frustration. Socially, he is thriving. The ‘before’ picture and the ‘after’ picture of our life is striking”.

Gilian T. Ontario, Canada

 

“The SPECT scan you did on me; almost 10 yrs. ago, has literally ‘Changed My Life’. Since my session at your clinic in 2000; I have done more, not only for me but even others, as well. I was highly involved in the 2001 Special Olympic World Winter Games, here in Anchorage, and am working for the Anchorage Senior Center. And, because of your help my seizures are practically gone! None of this would have been possible without your help! Therefore, I want to show my gratitude and deepest thanks for all you have done. Enclosed is a copy of SPECT scan you performed on me – along with numerous photos of my trips to Egypt and Israel! Please keep them and share them with others as an example of how well your work is done - for the success of mental illness! THANKS again for all you have done!!

“It feels so good to finally feel good again that I just had to thank you for giving me my hope back. “

Cindy D. Irvine, CA

 

“My nephew was seen as a patient in your Virginia office in August of this year. We have struggled since his birth, and continue to do so, with his severe ADD. Since I too have had ADD my entire life, his was easy to identify. The only real medical "bright spot" was in my good fortune in finding Dr. Amen and your clinics. Now, several months later, I have so many wonderful things to say about Dr. Amen and his professionals. It has helped my nephew understand his problems and take action. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Please accept my appreciation. Your work has assisted me in better understanding myself and assisted me in better managing my life with ADHD.”

Alexandria W. Minneapolis, MN

 

“I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your incredible program. I had my brain scan 1 month ago and the progress has been nothing short of amazing. My impulsive eating of bad carbs later in the day has totally subsided and as of today I am officially the leanest I have ever been. My ability to retain and remember things has drastically improved as well. Simple things like remembering where I parked my car the night before is easy for me to recall. I also enjoy actually retaining the information I read in books, and I can now have intellectual conversation and healthy debates on topics without memory lapses leading to complete frustration. I cannot thank you enough for everything, so far.”

Brad B. Irvine, CA

 

“The day I saw my SPECT scan and understood the areas of my brain that were not functioning properly it opened up a whole new world as if a veil had been lifted physically, emotionally and spiritually for me! You have pioneered an amazing technology to bring hope and light in understanding how the brain works and has added a much fuller and abundant life for me!”

Joni L.

 

“We just had to take a brief moment on this NEW day and THANK YOU for your time, care and concern with us yesterday at your Reston Clinic......what a refreshing time for us!!! We are truly grateful for the clarity and answers that came our way yesterday and for this we rejoice in the HOPE we now have after a long, long journey!

Tom, Suzanne and Elizabeth B. Philadelphia, PA

 

“I wanted to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart. My son was a combination of 2 of the types you identified. I put him on your supplement regimen. I can’t stress enough how much of a difference these supplements have had on him. The only thing that I can use to describe the difference is that it’s an absolute miracle. He has been taking the supplements for 3 weeks now and he has been absolutely perfect. There are no longer any areas of concern! I tried all sorts of things for him, including some other supplements from another facility as well as EEG Neurofeedback before I came here and absolutely nothing helped him. I tell everyone about it and how much of a difference you make in people’s lives. I wanted to thank you for doing all that you do and thank you deeply for changing his life as well as mine. I will forever be indebted to you. You’re the best!”

Michelle W.

 

“I used meth daily for 12 yrs. and tobacco for 25 yrs. I knew I didn’t want that brain and threw all my dope and cigarettes out. I thought it would be hell, but with Omega-3 supplements and the foods suggested in your program, it wasn’t that bad. You helped me turn my life around!!! Thank you!!!“

Tina P. Phoenix, AZ

 

“Elijah has been doing quite well. The depression lifted and he is genuinely happy. Since we last spoke only one episode of breaking the toys; however, within 5 minutes he snapped out of the episode. Adding the GABA seemed to "normalize" his behavior. He is really a different child.”

Dr. Janice J. Atlanta, Georgia

 

“Dr. Amen, I am living in the miracle of it all. For the first time in I don't even know how long my son knows what it's like to feel good and live a vibrant life. I know where it could of gone if you hadn't caught this. You have no idea how grateful I can be. Thank you, forever.”

Kathleen W.

 

“Thanks so much for your life changing insights! My husband has lost 13 pounds in 3 weeks. Feels great! Also says his memory, brain function in general, creativity, and mood have all been boosted. He is also sleeping much better and doesn't get restless leg syndrome any more. He really resonates with the way you explain brain health. He says you are very logical and easy to understand, and because of you he has become much more "thoughtful" in his diet choices. My son, age 13, was struggling in school, mostly C's, a couple of D's which is alarming because he is really bright. All his teachers said although he was a polite kid, he was having trouble focusing and staying on task, and frequently "spaced" homework assignments. At home he was argumentative, complained about not being able to focus on homework, and had begun looking for disagreements with his little brother which was out of character. We followed your recommendations and limited TV and video games to no more than a combined total of 1/2 hour per day. We upped his exercise opportunities and put him on supplements you recommended, with a high protein breakfast and regular protein snacks throughout the day. He now has straight "A's" in all of his classes, is listening really well at home and is getting along much better with his brother. We are very grateful!

From our professional colleagues:

“I want to share my appreciation with you for your help with my patient Virginia and her son. Prior to their visit to Amen Clinic, the son, an obviously bright child, was close to failing in school. His behavior at home was out of control, hyperactive and obsessive compulsive. His parents were distraught. His teachers frustrated. His peers shunned him. On SPECT scan he showed diffuse overactivity with underactivity in his pre-frontal cortex. Your recommendation has worked wonderfully. ON his last report card he was one percentage point short of receiving all A’s. Hi is also running for a Secretary position in his class. And, needless to say, his parents are much happier and his behavior at home has normalized. Thank you for your invaluable assistance.”

Dennis S. M.D. Dallas, TX

 

“As a psychologist in private practice, I work with both children and adults who have histories of depression, anxiety, attention deficit and mood disorder. Many of my patients have received medical treatment and intervention without good benefit and have become upset and discouraged by their lack of favorable result. For years now I have been referring patients to the Amen Clinics in California and Virginia where SPECT evaluation has been tremendously helpful in accurately diagnosing the underlying brain-based conditions that are producing patient symptoms and generating a comprehensive holistic treatment plans that are extremely beneficial for patient care. It has been a pleasure for me to work with Amen Clinic professionals who are clearly working on the leading edge.”

Margaret D. Ed.D. NCSP Lancaster, PA

 

“I saw a patient on Thursday, who experienced an anaphylactic/anoxic event. She was treated by a psychiatrist for over 2 years, including using about 25 psychotropics in various combinations seemingly without ever considering what had happened to her brain. She was never referred to a neurologist, had a CT, MRI or SPECT. Her SPECT images clearly demonstrate why she is having such difficulties, revealing many areas of deactivation (especially prefrontally. Her case powerfully illustrates the value of ‘looking at the brain’. We have all benefitted from your efforts. Thanks and regards.”

Dr. Bob G.

 

From our friends in the NFL study:

“I am so glad that my tests with you guys showed improvement in my brain health. I only wish I could have the brain scan more frequently to see how much more I improve after a year or even 5 years. Anyway, I don’t want to start babbling. Please let Dr. Willeumier know that I am working the diet really well. I have cut back to just one big dessert per week. Thanks for all of your help.

F. J.

 

“I have really noticed my memory retention getting better and my ability to recall information quicker. Also I feel that my energy level has increased, and don't get tired as much. I am looking forward to continuing the supplements because I really feel that they are helping to improve my physical and personal life, so I am really excited about the future. Thanks again for all your help.”

“I want to thank you, Dr. Amen, and the entire staff for a fantastic visit last weekend. I have wondered for years about the condition of my brain. I cannot tell you how good it feels to know more about my brain and to have a treatment prescribed to improve it. THANKS!! “

I. C.

 

“Thank you. It seems that his short term memory lapses have decreased. There has been marked improvement. No looking for keys for minutes, while they are in his hand and he states that he is "remembering names" better. Thanks.”

“Ed White and his wife have lost 30 lbs. total between the two of them. They are thrilled!!! ‘Uncle Bob’ Grant has noticed improved reflexes and a better ability to focus. Carver Shannon has seen a dramatic improvement in his memory (i.e., recalling names). Duval Love has lost another 6 lbs.!!!”
