Since 2010, I have been suffering from “Fibromyalgia” like symptoms. However, starting in 2022 my symptoms started to get worse. I was experiencing difficulty walking, body aches, hand shaking, brain fog, seizure like activities, and many more. After going to the ER twice for seizure like activities, I was having difficulty in getting appointments within Nuerology. I was being considered for everything from Lupus to MS to Parkinson’s. My Cousin was a patient of Dr Tompkins and recommended him as a consultation. At our first evaluation, I can tell Dr Tompkins was concerned. He proceeded with the eye movement and reflexology tests and determined that I had a possible right brain disorder. Upon further examination, Dr Tompkins discovered that I actually had a slipped disk high up on the neck under the skull making things appear to be a right brain disorder. It was an unusual dislocation but he found it and put it back in place. From that day forward I started to walk normally and my hand shaking stopped. Then there was the other “Fibromyalgia” symptoms. Through discussions and coordination with my other Doctors, Doctor Tompkins and I were able to solve a rare multi generational problem that has affected numerous people within my family. We discovered that I have a rare metabolic disorder to Vitamin B. The Vitamin B was toxic in my systems and causing the “Fibromyalgia.” After 13+ years, a Doctor finally discovered what was wrong with me. It also turned out that other members in my family have the same disorder. Since the disorder is so rare, Dr Tompkins and I have conducted research and together developed natural ways to detox from the Vitamin B and bring back balance to my body systems. My case was complex and had compounding issues that directly affected each other. At the same time, all I could tell Dr Tompkins was that I could not live my life to the fullest. All my brain could process was pain. Dr Tompkins took the time to investigate. Today, I have my ability to walk. My muscle strength has returned. I no longer have brain fog. My hands no longer shake. I am able to have energy to play with my kids. In fact, many of my symptoms have gone away. I even returned to the volunteer emergency services. It saddens me to know that my condition was only caused by a Vitamin and that dozens of Doctors could not help me. I gave up so much of my life to include my career in law enforcement and military. Nonetheless, Dr Tompkins has given me a new chance at life. My family and I are forever grateful. God bless you Dr Tompkins! You are a Guardian Angel to me and my entire family!

Dear Dr. Tompkins, After seeing the remarkable progress my father has had under your care, fighting Parkinson's, and the strong results my mother has experienced, I decided to bring my wife in to see you. It is difficult for me to find the right words to thank you for putting a smile on her face again. She has suffered for so long with migraines, since she was a child. In just one visit you made such a huge difference for her. She finally has the hope of leaving all that pain behind her forever. Also, we were both rather amazed how you were able to quickly zero in on the cause of her symptoms. Thank you for all you are doing for my family. I am truly grateful. Sincerely, George
