“Wnet from not being able to walk more than a few hundred yards to walking a mile and exercising with no problems.Always available to review and recommend proven alternatives.”
Getting diagnosis and treatments that healed my a-fib and
palpitations when other doctors were wanting me to go under the knife is a blessing. To know that Dr. Cruz knew of successful alternatives gave me a journey of hope.
I was not able to walk more than a few hundred yards without my heart racing. After a round of chelation treatments, I can walk a mile and exercise with no problem. I could not exert myself around the house,now I can assume all of my home duties - yay.

“On Mothers Day I was pushing my elderly moth er in her wheelchair when both of my knees went out. I felt I was next in line for the wheelchair. I signed up for Dr. Cruz's 3-injection therapy. After only two injections my knees feel 85% better!”
On Mothers Day I was pushing my elderly mother in her wheelchair when both of my knees went out. I was disheartened, worried for my mother because I am her caretaker, and worried for myself because I felt I was next in line for the wheelchair! Imaging showed multiple complex tears in my medial meniscus, multiple collateral ligament sprains, with Grade 3-4 OsreoArthritis. So many folks rush to surgery rather than jumpstarting their own natural healing response. I decided to try Dr. Cruz's 3-injection allograft matrix, prolozone and prolo therapy regenerative treatment. Injections can be a little painful at times, but far less painful than surgery and without the chances of multiple, serious complciations from surgery. After only two injections my knees feel 85% better! I am back for my third injection today and looking forward to even more improvement. One of the best outcomes for me already: I no longer think and worry about how I would function with bad knees!
