Dr. Shallenberger saved my life!
I was the poster boy of good health throughout my life amongst family and friends. Then, my health eco-system collapsed in early 2018; the seriousness and speed of the collapse was shocking.
It all started with a bladder cancer diagnosis on March 27th and then ataxia set in on June 21st followed by peripheral neuropathy August 16th– with tingling at the tips of toes and fingers–which got worse each day, ascending to the thighs by the end of October– I was within a day or two of not making it. The neurologists in Vancouver had given me an IV Immune globulin injection (which was in-effective) and conventionally did not have any more ‘arrows in their quiver’. I was able with a cane and curb to curb wheelchair assistance to make it to the Shallenberger clinic Oct 29th. The person who picked me up at the Reno airport came to see me later in December and said that, ‘he did not think I would make it through that first night’; he also said, ‘that of all the people he has transported, he had never seen anyone so weak’.
