Condition: Acne
On 2013, 9 months after I went off birth control, I started to break out with acne. The onset was gradual at first but then it kept worsening rapidly. I would go to bed and the next morning I would wake up with 3,4 up to 6 huge, very painful pimples on my face. I saw a few dermatologists, one who even specializes in acne, and they all told me the same thing, “it is hormonal acne and there is no cure, no matter what you do you will still break out”. I was put on various treatments including medications with non desirable side effects, creams, lotions, gels, facials which helped at first but then I would break out even more. I tried eating healthy but I kept breaking out. This went on for about 4 years, getting worse with time. My self-esteem was on the floor. This in part due to the scars on my face caused by acne. Then I met with Alejandro. At first he recommended I take a zinc supplement daily, then he suggested I take a liver detox to cleanse my liver. He emphasized on the importance of healthy eating, adequate water intake, taking a daily multivitamin and avoiding dairy, this among many other recommendations. Well, after a few weeks I slowly started to see results. I was breaking out less. In summary. It took 4 months for the recommendations to take effect. It’s been 5 months since I started the treatment and I do not break out anymore. I do not take any medicine or cream, etc. Also, I am rapidly healing from my scars. I am so happy with the results and I am so thankful to have worked with Alejandro who is a very knowledgeable person in the field of nutrition and he can give guidance on treatment and prevention of many conditions. I feel blessed and thankful to have worked with him.

Condition: Acute Kidney Disease
I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of kidney disease. I was feeling very bad and sensed that my body needed to complement the medical treatment with a natural approach. Then, I decided to contact Alejandro for nutrition counseling, because I knew about his expertise in nutrition and functional medicine. During the consultation he taught me about the foods that could help me to improve; and advised me to drink more water, decrease protein intake, and eliminate sugars and cereals. Also, he recommended me to follow a gluten free diet, combined with coconut and almond milk, not to eat fried food, and in case I wanted to have it, to fry using coconut oil. Also, he highly recommended me to increase the consumption of vegetables (fresh, steamed, or in juice), and to consume only high quality butter. For one week at least, I should drink a smoothie made of cucumber, ginger, celery and one pineapple slide. If possible to fasting one day per week. In addition, he also advised me to have coffee enemas to get rid of toxins. Alejandro also asked me to supplement my diet with vitamin C, D, B12 and B6, probiotics, liquid multivitamins, turmeric, garlic, and fish oil. I followed all his advises and they helped me to decrease my creatinine levels from 5.25 to 1.01 and to improve my protein/creatinine ratios from 936 to 164. Besides, I have notice that when I relax from my diet, by eating desserts or not eating vegetables everyday, my blood pressure increases (a sign that my kidneys are not working well), and my labs get worse. I am convinced that to recover your health you need the combination of a good doctor and a good nutritionist, you are what you eat, that is true in my experience.
