YourQuestion: Hi there,

I have a hormone imbalance and have my entire life. Periods started late (15yo) and were exceptionally painful and irregular…sometimes I went years without one. I have ovarian cysts (on the right side only) but no trouble getting pregnant (2 pregnancies easily achieved but not easy to carry with vaginal deliveries). I have violent mood swings, am heavy and can’t lose the weight, am hairy, skin issues, tired all the time, and loss of libido.

I started bioidentical progesterone but stopped it last May as I was overdosed on it and it felt like I did not need it anymore. I was good, libido was coming back, weight was still there but I was mentally good. Then it all went wahooney about 1 week ago. My period was a week late and when it came I was vomiting and faint from the pain. I was contemplating the emergency room it was so extreme. Now the libido is gone again and I have mood swings again. I am very tired of the roller coaster ride and am not excited about seeing a physician who will just want to put me on birth control pills. I also do not need a spa to treat me like the lady that I am.

I want a
Dr. to treat and test me and figure out what is wrong. I do not have a ton of money, I have enough and 2 little kids. I cannot leave them with the “nanny” while I travel and I already pay for insurance to handle medical costs.

Am I fit for your clinic or is there someone in Houston that you could refer me to that works with Hormone Allergies. I am getting really desperate. My ovary still aches and I am concerned about next month.

We are in complete agreement with your self diagnosis. Definitely a person who fits into our symptom parameters. All of the symptoms that you have listed, indicate hormone imbalance, or even a true allergic reaction to some of your own hormones. You sound remarkably like i did, when I was introduced to Dr. Roby, and he saved my life.

The reaction that you had to the progesterone cream seems like a rather clear indication of it. If you are allergically reactive to the progesterone that you produce, and you put in more, that is not your own, of the offending substance, you are overdosing.

Even though it was a bio-identical progesterone, it was in all likelihood, too strong for you in your hypersensitive state. You are very observant, which is true with most of our patients. We treat a very intelligent group.

We will instantaneously stop any symptoms that you have when you are in our office. This will give all of us, some painfree time, to design a longer term treatment plan for you. Each plan is designed based on the patient’s individual test results. We don’t like ‘cookie cutter’ methods.

Would you be able to come and spend a few hours with us for testing and treating? We are so confident in what we do, that we offer a “satisfaction guarantee”. If we can’t help you, the visit is at no charge. If you decide to try the protocol, and after a time, conclude that it doesn’t work as well as you thought it would, you can ask, and receive any money that you have paid us.

In Texas, physicians are prohibited from diagnosing, treating and prescribing for patients whom they have not seen in person. The first visit must be done here in Austin, or if it is more convenient for you, San Antonio. An annual re-exam is also a legal requirement for all doctors.

You can expect to be here for about three hours on that first visit. You will go home with all of the tools that you need, to get started on your way back to a real you. Anything that comes up, such as, adjusting the dosage, getting answers to the questions that you forgot, or didn’t know to ask, can usually be resolved by phone and email.

We do accept most healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military. We can email a lab slip, to have our standard hormone panel blood test done locally, before you come here. It usually takes about ten days to get the results to us, but you can keep track, and give us a call to have someone discuss the findings (true hormone levels), and give you the options, as we see them.

Dr. Roby discovered, many years ago, that the main ‘bad boy’ hormone, is progesterone. The imbalance causes us to pump out too much adrenaline, which is usually the other main culprit, and it can make your life miserable. Unfortunately, balancing hormones is not something that you can do for yourself. There has to be an outside influence, to stop the electrical action and reboot you, just like a computer.

Luckily, that’s what we do. We do it very well.

Before we start to get too deeply into all of this, it would be good for you to go back to our website, and get the free download of the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head,,,And you Are NOT Crazy!”. Everything that I can tell you, is already brilliantly set down for you to read.

You can go even further, since you are on the website, and read or reread, the section on Hormone Imbalance. It will give you a huge insight on what is really going on in your body, why it is happening, and how we can help you to take control, and keep it that way from now on.

I would like for you to continue, and read the sections on Food Allergy and Airborne Allergy, as well. After you have finished your reading, you may discover that you have more specific questions to ask me. Just email them to: dorothy.dreux@gmail.com, and we will tackle them together, anytime you want, or need to.

The connection between hormones and allergies is very complex and at times, almost impossible to separate. We choose to treat both at the same time, because we know that we can achieve a better result by doing so. Most traditional doctors know little, to nothing, about hormones and what they do in our bodies. They quite simply control, and run our bodies.

Everything that happens in your body, is a function of hormones.

Since traditional doctors cannot easily recognize hormone imbalance, and they didn’t learn about it in Medical school, it just doesn’t exist for them. They learn about diseases. You and I, both know, that even if they recognized hormone imbalance, they wouldn’t know how to fix it. We do.

If you have to have a diagnosis, hormone imbalance is the one to have. If you are familiar with the condition, it is easy to recognize, and just as easy to treat. Remember, that you aren’t having to fight a dreaded disease, you are healthy. Your hormones just need to be balanced. Our patients are not sick…but, they do feel really, really bad; really, really often.

We choose to treat hormones and allergies all at once, because we know that we will achieve a better result in a much shorter time, than if we treated them separately.

I promise you, that we will NOT put you on birth control pills, nor will we send you to a spa for treatment. I would enjoy a spa day, myself, so I would urge you to go, but because you want to. It could be nice, having the day to yourself.

When you are pumping out adrenaline, which causes stress, is one of the undesirable things that can happen. The body reads it as an ‘emergency’, and during an emergency situation, your body is hardwired not to burn fat. It will burn sugar first, then protein, and only, as a last resort, will it burn fat.

When you decide that you would like to come here, please call our office: 800-842-6349, and ask for Pam, if she is available, to discuss fees, insurance, available dates, and whatever else you might need to know.

There is the Hotze Wellness Clinic in Houston. It is cash only, the treatment costs $3,500.00, and Dr. Roby taught them how to do it. I’m really not sure how they have modified our treatment, I only know that two of their doctors, were trained in our office.

Thank you for sharing your problems with us. I know that it is a hard thing to do. I hope that you will keep in touch.

Have a happy Holiday.

Warm regards,

Your Question: Hello, I hope you can help me. For the last 2 years I have suffered with dizziness/lightheaded,nausea & headaches.My periods were coming every 14 days now for the last 5 months or so they have been every 24 days. not very heavy, but terrible cramps. I’ve always had that
problem,since I was 15.

I have been to so many different doctors and have had numerous tests ran. I’ve had mri of brain, ct of head,stomach & heart, eng, ultrasounds & all kinds of blood work & 24 hour urine analysis, they also did a lumbar puncture. All of that was normal. I am hypothyroid and have been for 12 years. I am now 32.

I take armour thyroid.They did find I had allergies to dog, cat, mold, dust, some grasses. I have been on allergy shots for a year and my allergies are better, but I’m still very lightheaded, nauseous with daily headaches. My doctor prescribed me valium and meclizine for dizziness & reglan & peneragan for nausea and I take sigular for allergies.

Please if you could give me anything to go on that would be a blessing. The doctors here are stumped.

We can help you. Can you come and spend a couple of days with us, for testing and treatment?

In Texas, physicians are prohibited from diagnosing, treating, or prescribing for any patient whom they have not seen in person. You would have to come here for the first visit, and annually after that. We can usually handle anything that comes up afterward, by phone and email.

Unfortunately, doctors in the US are given little, to no, training in hormones, while in medical school. They have a cavalier attitude about the lack. and don’t try to learn more. What they are missing, is that hormones rule the body. Everything that happens in your body, is linked in some way, to one or more of your hormones. Without them, nothing would be done. Simple concept.

Before we continue with this, there is a wonderful place for you to read it, already. If you will go back to our website: www.robyinstitute.com, you can have a free download of the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head,,,And You Are NOT Crazy!”. Since you will already be on the website, consider reading or rereading, the section on Hormone Imbalance. I would like for you to read the sections on Food Allergy and Airborne Allergy, as well. After you have finished your reading, please let me know of any new questions that you have, or a clarification of something that you do not understand. You will be ahead of, and more knowledgeable about hormones, than any doctor that you have seen.

(We are, by the way, looking for local doctors to be our local referral partners. If your doctors are interested, he or she can reach Dr. Roby in his office at 512-372-8905. There will always be patients who for some reason, cannot make the trip to Texas, and right now, we really cannot do much local referring.)

There is such a close connection between hormones and allergies, that it is very difficult at times, to separate the two. We choose to treat both at the same time, because Dr. Roby discovered long ago, that he can achieve maximum benefits in a minimal time span, by doing so.
If everything else has been ruled out, why don’t we consider that it might be caused by hormone imbalance, or even, hormone allergy? Any of us can have an allergic reaction to anything, at anytime, without prior warning. This includes our own hormones. I personally, seem to have an uneasy truce with most of my own. Usually, if a person has one type of allergy, it is quite likely that there are other allergies, too.

Were it not for Dr. Roby’s intervention, the doctors who had long ago, told me that I was dying of an incurable autoimmune disorder, and would be dead within three years, would be right.

That was in 1991. In 1994, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Dr. Roby, and the rest, as they say, is history. My warranty is probably up by now, but I am still here. I truly believe that we can do the same thing for you, too. Most of us who work with Dr. Roby, began as patients. We have had most of the same symptoms that you are having now. We know how you feel, because we have been there and back.

If you think that you would like to come for a visit, we can email a lab slip, so that you can have our standard, hormone panel blood test done locally. It usually takes about ten days to get the results back to us. You can keep track of it, and call us, to have someone discuss the findings, and the options, as we see them. It would mean one day, or possibly an overnight with us, depending on how you are traveling.

We actually prefer that you come with symptoms. the first thing is to make the symptoms go away instantly. This gives all of us a little pain free time to design a longer term treatment plan.
Each plan is different because it is designed specifically, for that person, based on his or her test results.

You will spend about three hours with us, and go home with everything that you need, to begin your journey back to the real you. Our phone number is: 800-842-6349.

I would really like for you to speak with Pam, if she is available. She can fill you in on the insurance, we take almost all healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and military. Fees, payment options and available appointment times.

Please let me know if you find that you have more questions, so that we can tackle them together. I look forward to hearing from you again Thank you for sharing your problems with us, we know how difficult it can be.

Happy Holidays.

Your Question: I went online tonight with a theory that my arthritic like pain may be related to my hormones and ended up on your site. I’m 29 years old and have had very irregular periods all my life (maybe 1-2 a year). In my teens I went on birth control to regultate them and for the most part it worked, though towards the end of their use my periods started becoming irregular again. When I decided to have children my husband and I tried for years and couldn’t get pregnant, or if I did I would miscarry. Finally after a few months of chlomid I ended up pregnant.

I felt the best I had my whole life. Until I gave birth.

Horrible post partum, but then I ended up pregnant right away again (6 weeks later). Again, I felt wonderful. After my son was born I hit rock bottom. Horrible depression. Found some articles relating it to the IUD. Had it removed and I felt much better! For the next year I was great! My periods came every 6 weeks. Depression was gone. Life was good. Then about 4 months ago my periods started getting all weird again. Ironically I’m feeling very depressed. And now my joints are
hurting. It started with just my hands, but now it’s spreading to my knees, hips and back. I also seem to have some weird intestinal thing going on. I am exhausted to the point where I am concerned.

The thing you talked about with the coffee and needing that boost??? That is me times about a thousand. I have panic attacks regularly and melt downs daily. My doc has tested me for cilliac’s disease along with arthritis. She says everything is fine but that I may have chronic fatigue syndrome which she says there not much I can do for and gave me the number for a pshychologist. My husband keeps telling me I need to just get through it…but get through what? I don’t even know what it is that’s causing it? I feel like I am going crazy. I’ve lost 25 pounds, exercise pretty regularly. And still I feel this way. I don’t know where else to turn.

---

We’re so sorry you are having these problems.

Before I get too far into it, I would like for you to go back to our website: www.robyinstitute.com, and get the free download of the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book? “Maybe It Is All In Your Head … And You Are NOT Crazy!”.

There, is a wonderful explanation about what is happening inside your body, why it is happening, and how we can help you to regain, and then stay, in control, over it. Once you have read that chapter, since you are already on the website, it would be good to read, or reread, the sections on Hormone Imbalance, Food Allergy, and Airborne Allergy. You will know more about what hormones do, than any doctor you have every seen. You will have a huge amount of knowledge and understanding.

A couple of things jump out at me, right away.

First of all, it is quite possible, even probable, that you are reacting to one, or more, of your own hormones. Do you feel worse before your period begins or after?

If the symptoms are worse prior to the bleeding, you are usually, reacting to your own progesterone. If the symptoms worsen after the bleeding starts, it could be a reaction to the estrogen. It can include even more of your hormones. Adrenaline, for example, is another common troublemaker. Eventually, you become so hypersensitive, that your body will try to reject anything that comes at it; not noticing that IT, is you, that it is trying to fight off.

The second thing that jumps out at me, is your age. Everyone knows about puberty, menopause, and now, they even know about andropause in men. What no one thinks or knows about, is that after we get to be twenty-five or so, we begin another big hormone change. It becomes more noticeable in the thirties, and by the forties, it isn’t a secret to anyone. Our sex hormones begin to decrease and close down. The combination of the two, in your case, could be the root of the symptoms that you are having. We treat the root of the problem, the symptoms will go away by themselves.

I’m sure that we can help you.

Can you come to Texas for a couple of days to be tested and treated? You are definitely, one of us. Just about everyone who works with Dr. Roby, began as a patient. We know what you are going through. We have gone through it, too. By the way, you really cannot, “just work your way through it”, by yourself. It has to be an outside influence to stop the electrical process that is at work. That, is exactly, what we do.

Because physicians in Texas are prohibited from diagnosing, treating, or writing prescriptions for a patient until they have been seen in person, the first appointment must be here. (We are always looking for local doctors, who are interested in coming here to learn what we do, and become a referral partner, so that we can refer patients who are unable to make the trip. If you know of one, please let me know.) After that, most adjustments or problems can be handled by phone or email. The only other requirement is an annual re-exam. So once a year, all of our out of town patients, come to to Texas to see us, again. Our patients become our friends and part of our family, and we love to see them.

If you think that you can come here, we can email a lab slip, so that you can have our standard, hormone panel blood test, done locally. It usually takes about ten days to get the results to us. You can keep track, and give us a call. Someone will discuss those results, and give you the options, as we see them.

We are so confident that we can help you, we offer a “money back satisfaction guarantee”. If you come in with symptoms, and we ask that you do, and you don’t feel significant improvement, before you leave our office…the visit is at no charge. If you decide to follow the protocol, and after some time, conclude that you aren’t seeing the improvement which you expected, just ask and we will refund any money that you have paid to us.

I know you have already done some tests, but we read them in a much different way than other doctors. Since all of this is on the website, I won’t go into it now.

For further information on available appointment times, fees, etc., call us at: 800-842-6349, and speak with Pam Corbin.

If you have more questions, and you might after reading all of the material, just email me: dorothy,dreux@gmail.com, at anytime. We will work through them, together.

Thank you for sharing with us. We look forward to seeing you.

Happy Holidays,

Your Question: I have had – since puberty – all of yhe symptoms you mentioned on this subject: anxiety/panic attacks, to memory problems, narrowhips, excessive hair on face and body, etc. I am now in my 70′s, with hair thinning, etc., but wonderif there is a safe treatment for someone of my age?? (I have had two children, and have all my reproductive organs intact.)

---

Your symptoms certainly fit our prototype.

There is definitely hope for you! The protocol doesn’t have a maxmum age limit. Many of our patients are in their upper years. You would need to come here for the first visit, however. Texas physicians are prohibited from diagnosing, treating, or prescribing for anyone whom they have not yet seen in person.

If you would like to come here for testing and treatment, we can email a lab slip for you to have blood drawn for our standard hormone panel test. We get the results back in about 10 days. You can call us at that time, have someone go over all of it with you, and make recommendations as we see them.

Since we do not take a cookie cutter approach, each treatment program is designed based on the results of each patient’s tests, expressly for the individual.

We do accept almost all of the health care plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military. We also offer Care Credit, which is a credit card for the cost of treatment that you can pay back on installments, over time.

The other important thing that we do, is offer a money back satisfaction (your satisfaction, not ours) guarantee. We are not allowed to offer a cure, but if you are symptomatic when you come, and do not feel significantly improved before you leave our office, the visit is free. If you decide to give the protocol a try, anyway. and later conclude that it isn’t working as well as you had hoped, just ask, and any money that you have paid, us will be refunded.

Before we go any further, I would like to ask that you go back to our website: www.robyinstitute.com, get the free download, and read the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And, You Are NOT Crazy!”

Then, you can then go on, and read (or reread) the section on Hormone Imbalance with more interest and understanding. I would also suggest, that you go on and read the sections on Food Allergy, and Airborne Allergy. Hormones and allergies are so incredibly interrelated, that we sometimes cannot tell where one ends, and the other begins, which is why we always treat them at the same time. We get an optimum result faster that way, in a shorter time span.

They protocol is pretty simple. There is the medical part which includes traditional medical treatment, and complementary or alternative modalities such as: movement, dietary changes, and spirituality (your spirituality, not ours).

You will be asked to go on a low carb/low fat diet, we offer a really good one, and we particularly the like South Beach Diet because of the variety of choice that it gives. We only honor food restriction on ‘school days/nights’. Friday night thru Sunday morning, you can eat as much as you like, of the food that you have missed the most, that week.

Movement is LSD. Looong, slooow, distance walking, preferably on a treadmill, indoors, for an hour in the morning, and another hour session just before going to bed at night. This is to calm down all of that adrenaline which all of us are using for energy to do anything we do, every day. How slow is slow enough? You don’t want your heart rate to go over 90, nor sweat, nor feel any sign of shortness of breath. Don’t try to start with an hour…start out slowly and work up to it. You can begin this part, right now. I will promise you, that after 30 days, you will feel, at least 50% better than you do right now. And yes, I do know how hard it is to do it, all of us, the people who have been with Roby Institute, for any length of time, live this lifestyle.

We understand exactly how you feel. We’ve all been there, and it wasn’t fun. I will be 72 on Sunday, and have been Dr. Roby’s patient since 1994, when other doctors had said that I had, maybe, three more years to live. They said that I would never see 60. Dr. Roby said that it wasn’t true, and I chose to believe him.

I’m happy that you finally found us.

If you would like to have more information on available appointment time, ask for a labslip, fees, time you would have to be in the office, etc; call Pam Corbin, at 800-338-4336. She can help you with all of those things, and make the appointment for you at the same time.

After you have finished your reading, and find that there are still unanswered questions, just email them, at any time, to me and we will wade through them, together.

Happy Holidays,

Dr. Roby–I have been to three gynocologists, two m.d.’s, and one internist–I have been diagnosed with a cyst (which was removed and biopsy–resulting in both a staff and strep infection ). I was told I had herpes and still take valtrex, but three different tests ruled out herpes. Then was told I had a rare auto-immune disease that there was nothing to do for–was given steroid cream to use. I get pain in my left buttox (feels like a pain in the bone?) prior to lesion (which is always on the left side) with flu-like symptoms. It is very painful. After reading about this it is the first time I feel like I have gotten a proper diagnosis. What can be done for it? HELP!!!! Thanks

I was diagnosed with Behcets disease after several years of going to doctors with different diagnoses, beginning with vulvar cancer in situ, that required an amazing number of surgical procedures, most of which were to fix the sloppy jobs done by rhe oncologists, in 1989. (I was told in 1991 to stop complaining, and just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and have fun in the time you have left.

“Behcets disease is always fatal, it has no known cause, no known cure, no known treatment, the symptoms will get worse as you get older, and no one has lived to be past 60, in the annals of medicine”). I decided to leave doctors alone and die in peace, because of their insistence on giving me noxious drugs, that made me even sicker, and telling me each time I came in, that I was dying.

In 1994, my friend Linda, was a nurse at Dr. Roby’s office, and had told me about the practice. How Dr. Roby was able to treat untreatable autoimmune disorders and make all of the symptoms go away, but I had rejected her “rose colored” views, along with the other doctors. She decided to drag me, kicking and screaming, into the Roby office, with my #10 migraine, mouth, throat and genital lesions, swollen joints, and rashes, all over my body.

When I got there, Dr. Roby explained his views on what was happening in my body, why it was happening, and told me how he could help me to get back to the real me. He injected a drop of a substance under my skin, he didn’t tell me what it was, and within less than 10 seconds, my migraine began to go away. It probably took about 30 seconds to be gone entirely, but it was something that had never happened with me before, and I was stunned. And, hooked into the ‘no pain gain. Since that day, I have not had another migraine. On my 70th birthday, last year, I wanted to go back to the doctors who had diagnosed my “disease”, and given me a death sentence, and slap them. The substance that I was reacting to? My own progesterone! I do not have symptoms of a dreaded disease, any longer.

You didn’t say where you live. Would you be able to come to Austin or San Antonio for testing and treatment with us?

At Roby Institute, we successfully treat hormone imbalance, allergy and most auto-immune disorders, such as MS, asthma, diabetes, lupus, Behcets, Raynaud, arthritis/rheumatism, etc. Dr. Roby has found, through his research and experience, that autoimmunity is caused by an imbalance in the hormones. Generally speaking, it is an allergic reaction to 1 or more of our own hormones. The bad boy hormones of the group seem to start with a reaction to progesterone, which causes a the adrenals to react by spurting out adrenaline, which causes stress, which causes more pain, swelling, itching, etc. Whatever symptoms you have been having, will become worse. Once having entered the stress-pain-stress-pain cycle, you will eventually become so hypersensitive, that anything you eat, drink or touch can make it worse. It is sort of what happens with your computer when you try to go too fast, and it crashes. You stay in the cycle until you close and reboot. It will almost always have to be an outside influence. We are your outside influence.

We have a protocol which is very productive. Traditional medicine when indicated, complementary and alternative methods, movement, dietary changes, and spirituality (your spirituality, not ours). Everything that we do for you, is in response to the results of your tests. Each patient protocol is different, and designed to be used by only one person. We can email a lab slip so that you can have our standard hormone panel blood test done locally. We accept most healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military.

If you will go to our website: www.robyinstitute.com, you will find a free download of the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And You Are NOT Crazy!”. You can also read the section on Hormone Imbalance, on the website. I would suggest that you also read the sections on Food Allergy, and Airborne Allergy. Hormones, allergy and autoimmune diseases are so closely interrelated, that it is often difficult to find where one stops and the other begins, which is the reason our doctors treat all of them at the same time. We get the optimal result in the shortest amount of time. We like that, and our patients like it, too.

We offer a money back, satisfaction garantee as part of our policy. First, if you are symptomatic when you come in, and don’t feel significantly better before leaving our office, the visit is ‘no charge’. Second, If you decide to follow the protocol, and after a while, conclude that it isn’t working for you, all you have to do is ask, and any money that you have paid to us, will be refunded. After you’ve finished reading, you will know more about your body, than any physician who has seen you. If you find that you still have questions, please email them to me, at: dorothy.dreux@gmail.com, and we will address them together.

If you would like information on available appointment times, fee schedules, or to request a lab slip, please call: 800-842-6349. Whoever answers, should be able to help you.

Your Question: I have been taking prohormones for a while now. I developed gyno in my left nipple from it. that was 9 months ago. However, i am not sure but i developed a rash. Didnt itch. Just raised red bumps on front of legs is where it started. Then went to arms, underarms, chest, and thats about it. Not back. I think i might be allergic to things also.

Not sure if hormones cause this or not?

I have been to dermo docs, eye docs, because my eyes are also red all the time. When i wake up its worse. I have had blood work done and everything seems ok. I have bad acid reflux as well and did HIDA scan and gallbladder came back bad. I did allergy test a while back in the spring and i was allergic to everything. However, my symptoms got better and didnt seem to be allergy related. I wake up and skin seems fine. When there is heat, my skin fluses instanstly. Also my face gets flushed easily as well. My skin condition is better as far as bumps, but they left red/pinkish blotchy skin on outer arms on both and front of legs mainly. Also have a red non-raised rash on upper chest that wont go away. All this is worse after shower.

I am not sure where to begin. Could the be estrogen/testosterone imbalance? Allergies? I dont sneeze, itch my eyes but they are red. Don’t have hives. I dont know. Just weird. Please help?

---

The first clue is, that you test allergic to everything. This indicates that you are hypersensitive because you have a hormone imbalance as the root cause of all of these symptoms. Hormone imbalance=allergies and vise/versa. Your poor little immune system is so bewildered. It doesn’t realize that the enemy under attack is itself. We can fix that. We can help you.

Anyone can become allergic to anything, at anytime, without prior warning signs. Just bam, and there you are. Reflux is usually caused by the foods that you eat. Food allergy is probably contributing to the rash, as well.

Before I go further with this, I would like for you to go to www.amazon.com. Download and read the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And You Are NOT Crazy!” Then, go to our website: www.robyinstitute.com, and read the section on Hormone Imbalance. I would suggest that you go on and read the sections on Food Allergy and Airborne Allergy. I think that you have the whole thing going on in your body; food, airborne, hormone and environmental sensitivities. Those are just the symptoms. The cause is more basic.

The root of the problems is the hormone imbalance…which can be fixed. It is pretty easy, but first, you have to find the rare physician who understands about the role that hormones play in your life. The fact is, they control it! Since it is only now, that medical students are beginning to have training in hormones, most of them will just blow off the possiblity that your problem could be based on your hormones. After you have finished the reading, you will have a much better understanding than any doctor you have ever seen, of what is really going on inside your body, why it is happening, and how we can help you to balance the hormones and give you control. I’m sure that you will find even more questions that you want to ask. Just email them to me and I will try and answer with more speificity.

Dr. Roby’s protocol has two parts. Medical, which includes traditional medical practises, if indicated. The nonmedical, which I’m going to address at this moment. If you will follow these few ideas for 30 days, I assure you that you will feel, at least, 50% better. They aren’t difficult.

1) Movement: LSD. Looong, Slooow, Distance walking for 1 hour in the morning, and can be the cool down period after your cardio workout if you have one, and 1 hour in the evening just before going to bed. How slow? Keep heart rate at 90 or below. Unless you are already an accomplished athlete, don’t try to start out with an hour. Start with 5 minutes, if you have to, and work up to the hour. It doesn’t have to be done all at once. Break it up into increments during the day. Don’t be surprised if your heart rate doesn’t go down to 90, right away. Over time, as you get stronger, it will begin to lower. We prefer that you do your walking indoors, on a treadmill. Wal-Mart has a $200.00 treadmill. You should also have a pulse meter. The one that has a “watch” for your wrist, and a band that goes around your chest Wal-Mart has these, too, and they are very cheap. Of all the things we ask you to do, movement is the most critical. If you cannot, or will not move, there is very little that we can do for you. Lack of movement in a person signals that the person is weak, old, or dying, and you don’t want to send those false signals to your body. The LSD is primarily used for dissipating excess adrenaline which we are using for our energy needs all day long. It is largely to blame for not being able to sleep well. You need to be able to reach the 4th level of sleep, what I call, ‘relax and repair, to give your body the chance to fix the ‘ravages’ of the day.

2) Diet: Follow a low carb, low fat diet on “school nights”. We especially like the South Beach and Weight Watchers diets because of the number of food choices they offer. Most diets will work if they are followed religiously. If you have food allergies, as I supect that you do, it is a good idea to use a rotational approach. Eat a food, no more often than every 4 days, to avoid becoming sensitized to it. Our friends are not necessarily the foods that we love, nor the foods that we hate. If you can stay with the foods that are between those two categories, you will probably be okay. Take a break from the restrictions from Friday night until Sunday morning. Eat as much as you like of the foods that you have missed the most that week. Be prepared for a jolt, because it will soon become apparent that you are having a food reaction, to something. Each time you do this, you will learn more about what bothers you. Flat, cold, but without ice, Club soda is a good antidote, so is bicarbonate of soda. We actually have the best remedy of all, which is magnesium buffered with vitamin C powder, in a glass of water. Works immediately, tastes pretty good, and is something really handy to keep around. We don’t leave home without it.

3) Spirituality: This is about your spirituality, not ours. Whatever you can use to ground and center yourself. It is a time to concentrate on you. Relaxing and calming, in touch with yourself. It can be prayer, Pilates, yoga, meditation or even just listening to soothing music. This will also help to dissipate the adrenaline.

4) When you are symptomatic, rashes, etc., avoid long, hot showers or baths. Use Quick, tepid showers, and try to avoid soap. I know. I’m taking all the joy out of life. The rest of us feel the same way, but, you will feel better, and you will learn to accept it. Sometimes, you can splurge and have a real, hot, soak.

If you would like to come here for testing and treatment, please let us know. We can email a lab slip, to have our standard, hormone panel done locally. It takes about ten days for the results to get back to us. You can call at that time to check, and someone will discuss and interpret the test numbers, and give you your options, as we see them. We have quite a few patients from your area, and they usually will come in on an early morning flight, spend 3 to 4 hours in the office, and go home on a late afternoon flight, with everything that they need to get started. We like for our patients to consider themselves as part of our family, and keep in touch with us. We are the first line of defense, in case of illness, and very often, can fix whatever the problem is, by phone or email. There is also, an annual retesting which is required by law.

We accept most healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military insurance. You can call our office: 800-842-6349, to talk about fees, available times, insurance, or travel. We try to make it easy to come here.

Please let me know if there is anything that I have left out, or you find more questions.

Your Question: I have been diagnosed with lumbar arthritis.

The pain is in my pelvic area and also goes down my leg. Sometimes both legs. If I sit too long, walk too much I have extreme pain in my pelvic area and legs. I have had exrays, MRI, and a lot of blood work done and the only thing they found was the lumbar arthritis. My back really does not hurt that much. I am supposed to start physical therapy next week, but for some reason I don’t feel like this will help. Right now my Dr. has given me pain medication and I also have to take advil in between the medication to relieve the pain. I have gone thru menapause and no longer take hormones. Was on them for a long time and got off about 5 years ago. I have been checked for HPV and everything seems to be ok.

---

I’m sorry that you are having what sounds like a pretty painful condition. My first suggestion, since you live right here in Austin, would be for you to call us at: 338-4336. Ask to speak with Pam Corbin, and make an appointment with us. Pam can tell you all that you need to know about the best times available, fees, how the whole process works, email a lab slip, for you to get the blood test (our standard hormone panel) done, and make the appointment for you. You can come in for a consultation, and please come in with symptoms. If you don’t feel significantly better before you leave our office, there is no charge for the visit. We take most healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military insurance. We also offer a money back, “satisfaction guarantee” to everyone. If you decide to become a patient, follow our protocol, and after some time conclude that the treatment isn’t living up to your expectations, you can tell us and we will refund whatever money you have paid us.

We think that arthritis, whether in the lumbar, or any other part of the body, is not a disease. It is simply one of the symptoms of the underlying root cause, which is a hormone imbalance. Most of our patients, are having allergic reactions to one or more of their own hormones. Usually, it is progesterone that is the “bad boy” hormone, along with adrenaline, which causes stress, and unfortunately, is what most of us use for energy throughout the day, everyday. Don’t be too surprised to find that you have multiple hormones that are out of balance. They try to fill in the gaps, shall we say, to keep your body going. It doesn’t work well, but they do try.

When we are pumping out adrenaline, we are signaling the brain, that the body is under attack, and in an emergency situation, which triggers even more of the adrenaline response. Eventually, we become so hypersensitive, that the immune system, begins to attack everything in sight, with killer t-cells. Then…we have an autoimmune disorder. Traditional medicine thinks it is incurable, will only get worse and then you die. They take a constellation of symptoms, and give it a name. Everyone is happy, except for the person who has it. We disagree.

Because we see so many of these patients, we have learned to recognize the signs that point to hormone imbalance. If you have to have a diagnosis, hormone imbalance is the one to have. We think that it is easily recognized, if you know what to look for, and is easily treated. Almost always, when we get the hormone imbalance “fixed”, the symptoms will take care of themselves.

Before I attempt to go on with a lengthy email, I would like for you to go to: www.amazon.com. Download and read the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book: “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And You Are NOT Crazy!”. Then go to: www.robyinstitute.com, and read these three sections, in this order: 1) Hormone Imbalance. 2) Food Allergy. 3) Airborne Allergy. By the end of your reading, you will know more than any doctor that you have ever seen, about what is going on inside your body, why it is happening, and how we can help you to get back in control and stay there.

You will probably find that you have even more questions that you want to ask. Just email them to me, and I will try to give you more specific answers. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Your Question: My name is Jessica and I’m 17 years old, I have been having a lot of symptoms that eveybody has been telling me leads back to a hormone problem, but I don’t know I’m scared of going to a doctor because I’m afraid that they will tell me that I have nothing wrong or that alot cannot be reversed, so I has wondering if you might could tell me if I do have a hormone imbalance because after 4 years of putting up with these symptoms I’m getting fed up with it.

So if you could tell me something to do I would be so grateful. My symptoms are: Very bad PMS, headaches, dark, long hair growing on my chest and lower abdomin, weight gain only in my stomach, allergies, enamel chipping off my nails, dry hair,very bad acne on my face neck back and chest, mood swings, depression, foggy thinking, forgetfulness and tiredness. So please if you can could you please please try to tell me what is going on. I want feel like I can live again without going from day to day wondering what other symptoms are going to pop up and what else I’m going to have to cover up and for four years I don’t know what it feels like to actually live and feel good. So if you could tell me what is going on with me and what to do about it I would be so grateful.

While I sympathize with your problems, being frightened and ignoring them is not the best way of dealing with them. I would be fed up with them, too.

The problems that you have are clearly part of the constellation of symptoms that we recognize as a hormone imbalance, or even a true allergic reaction to your own hormones. Unfortunately, physicians in Texas are not allowed to diagnose, treat or prescribe for anyone whom they have not seen in person. Your parents could bring you here for a day or so, and we could test and treat you. The patients have to come here to Texas, for the first visit and once a year for retesting. We can handle whatever little problems that come up, either by phone, or email.

I want you to go to www.amazon.com. Download, and read the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And You Are NOT Crazy!”. After you finish, go to our website and read the section on Hormone Imbalance. I would suggest that you continue reading the sections on Food Allergy, and Airborne Allergy. You will begin to understand what is going on in your body, why it is happening and how we could help you to get back in charge of your hormones and keep them under control. Hormone imbalances and allergies are very tightly woven together, if you have one, you have the other. They are passed down from generation to generation. Your children, if you ever have any, are likely to be more allergic than you are.

Dr. Roby prefers to treat them both conditions at the same time, because he has found that he gets an optimal result in the shortest time possible. The hormones do try to compensate for the imbalance, but it doesn’t work very well, and eventually, some traditional doctor will decide that you have one of the autoimmune disorders such as, lupus, diabetes, asthma, MS, and there are many, many others, for them to choose from. They don’t know what you have,so they try to get as close as possible to something that they do know about…what they know, is all about disease.

Because medical students are only now beginng to be taught about the role that hormones play (they rule your body), they will think that you have a disease which has “no known cause, no known cure, and no known treatment”, and they will want you to take medicines such as prednisone, methotrexate, plaquenil, etc., which have really bad side affects, that don’t always go away when you stop the drug. I know, because I’ve been through it.

You sound just like me at seventeen. As a matter of fact, you sound just like most of the women who work in our offices. Most of us began as patients with Dr. Roby, years ago.

After reading those sections, and the book chapter, you might have more questions to ask me. Just email them, and I’ll try to answer them with more specificity. You might also have one of your parents read with you, and they can contact me, if they have questions. You probably have a compounding pharmacy nearby. Ask the pharmacist if there is a wholistic physician, who uses bioidentical hormones and other natural products in treatment. If you find one, and he agrees to treat you, Dr. Roby would be happy to work with your doctor and teach him or her, how to use his protocols. Dr. Roby would not charge the doctor, for his research and expertise. He is very generous with other physicians, and his patients. Also, we are always looking for local doctors that are interested in learning Dr. Roby’s methods, so that we can refer patients who contact us from the area. Let me know if you find one. We have quite a number of out of town, out of state and out of country patients, so we try and make it easy for them.

Please feel free to email me at any time, your parents, too, with questions, doubts, ideas, etc. Don’t be afraid of your body. Let someone take a look at you.

Your Question: Hello and thank you for taking time to answer my question.

My friend has been suffering with a severe skin condition for some years now. Though I knew that it was painful (not just physically, but emotionally), I did not realize just how awful it was until she pulled
up her jeans the other day. After begging for help for years, she brought her own research and results showed that sure enough, she was allergic to her own progesterone.

Now that she has a diagnosis, no doctor even seems to know how to help her. Dr. Roby, please help me help her. She is a beautiful person with a beautiful personality and she has to hide from her own skin everyday. Please give us some hope.

We are located in Charleston, SC but are willing to go anywhere.

We can help your friend. This is what we do, and I’m glad that you have found us.

First of all, call our office, speak to our scheduling people, and make an appointment. The number is: 800-842-6349. They will email a lab slip, so that she can have our standard hormone panel blood test done locally. It will take about ten days for them to get the results to us. She can call us, and someone will go over it with her, and explain the options, as we see them. We take most healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military insurance.

We have many out of state patients, so we try and make it as easy as possible for them. It is a one day trip, if you’re flying. Sometimes it’s an overnight, depending on the airline schedules. Doctors in Texas are prohibited from diagnosing, treating, or prescribing for any patients until they have been seen in person. The law requires an annual visit for retesting. You will leave our office with everything that you need to get started. Frequently, because there is so much to learn, you will forget much of what you heard, we expect that to happen, and we expect calls from our patients. We like to stay close, and we welcome the calls. Never hesitate to call us about a problem or doubt. We are your first line of defense, and if we don’t know about the problem, we cannot help you with it. Most problems can be handled by phone or email.

While you are waiting for the test results to come back, go to www.robyinstitute.com, or www.amazon.com; download and read the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And You Are NOT Crazy!”, or just buy the book, if you like. On our website, you can read the section on Hormone Imbalance. My suggestion is that you continue the reading with the sections on Food Allergy and Airborne Allergy.

Hormones and allergies are incredibly interrelated. Where you find one, you will also find the other. Dr. Roby prefers to treat both at the same time, because we get an optimal result, in the shortest period of time, when it is done in that way.

There are two different sides to this protocol. I’m going to give you the non-medical portion, so that your friend can begin to do it. Dr. Roby prefers that out of town patients begin immediately on this part.

1) Movement: LSD. Looong, Slooow Distance. 1 hour of long, slow distance walking in the morning (it can be the cool down period after the cardio workout, if you have one), and 1 hour of the walking in the evening, just before bedtime. Unless you are accustomed to exercising, please begin slowly and work up to the hour. You don’t need to do it all at once. Do fifteen to thirty minutes at different times during the day. How slow should you go? Pulse rate at 90 or below. Even if it is high when you begin, as you become stronger, your pulse rate will drop. We don’t want you to experience any shortness of breath, nor sweat, nor become fatigued. If any of these things happen, you are trying to go too fast, and need to slow down. I suggest that you not go over 1 mph, for awhile, at least. Of the three things that I am going to tell you about, movement is the most important one.

If your friend cannot, or will not move, there is not much that we can do for her. We prefer she try this before coming here. This type of movement, is important because it is the safest, and surest way of dissipating the excess adrenaline which almost all of us use for energy, in this day and age. It will help you to sleep better. It is important that you be able to reach the fourth level of sleep, what I call the “relax and repair” level. It is the time that the body refreshes itself of the ravages of the day. Adrenaline causes stress, and the stress creates the problem. In your friend’s case, worsening of the skin condition. She should not be taking long hot showers when she is symptomatic. Short, tepid showers. Try not to use soap. If the condition gets worse, she may have to use bottled water for bathing, until she gets here.

This LSD is a great tool for weight loss, too.

2) Diet: Simplify the diet. Low carb, low fat diet. We especially like the South Beach and Weight Watcher’s diets, becauseof the number of food choices that they offer. The truth of the matter is that any diet will work if you can follow it, religiously. We observe food restrictions only on ‘school nights’. We want you to take a break from Friday night until Sunday morning, and eat as much as you want, of the foods that you missed the most during the week. Then back on the restrictions for the new week.

3) Spirituality: Your spirituality, not ours. Say your prayers, practice yoga, meditate, Pilates. Whatever you have found to keep you centered and relaxed. This is a time for you to think only of your own needs. Follow this for thirty to sixty days and you will feel 50% better. We, all of us who work with Dr. Roby, follow this regimen.

After you have finished with your reading assignment, you will know more about what is going on in your body, why it is happening, and what we can help you do, to regain control, and stay in control, of your life. You will know so much more about it than any doctor you have ever seen. There will probably be many new questions to ask. Just email them to me, and I’ll try to answer them for you. Email me at any time.

Thanks for sharing your problem with us. Now, let’s get you, back in charge of your body.

Best regards,

Your Question: I have Hep C with Chirosis & liver damage but cannot tolerate the usual Interferon & Ribovirin treatment (allergies). Are there other homeopathic or herbal remedies that may help. I don’t have any bad symptoms as yet.

I am 65 years old, have high blood pressure for which I take Diovan and Toprol, and Prilosec for reflux. Otherwise feel good, work out regularly.

Thanks.

I am so sorry that you are having these problems. Fortunately, you have found us. I know that we can help you.

Very often, Dr. Roby can make a dilution of the medications that a patient is using, but is having a toxic reaction to. It is actually a blocking agent, which neutralizes the side effects of the drugs. Why don’t you just make an appointment to come visit with us? Can you come here for testing and treatment? You will know within seconds, if it will work for you or not. I was having a problem with blood pressure meds. The blocking agent solved that.

Doctors in Texas are not allowed to diagnose, treat or prescribe for potential patients, without seeing them in person. It usually only takes one visit. Most of the ‘tweaking’ that might be needed, i.e; dosage, times to use, or almost any other questions, can be handled by email and phone. We can email a lab slip, so that you can have our standard blood test done locally, before you come here. It takes about ten days to get the results back, and you can call us at: 800-842-6349, to have someone to go over it with you, and give you the options, as we see them. There is a requirement of an annual visit for retesting, which must be done. It’s the law, in Texas, so we call all of our patients to remind them, when it gets close to the time for theirs.

We do take almost all healthcare plans including Medicare, Medicaid and Military.

There are two parts to this protocol. One part of it is the nonmedical, which is pretty easy to do, and will make you feel much better. Dr. Roby likes to have out of town patients begin to follow it right away, so I’ll just go ahead and tell you about it. Some people cannot make the commitment to do it, in which case, he feels that he cannot help them.

1) Movement: LSD=Looong, Slooow, Distance walking. 1 hour in the morning (this can be the cool down period if you have a cardio workout that you do), and 1 hour in the evening, just before bedtime. This is primarily to dissipate the excess adrenaline that you have been using for energy, and will allow you to sleep better. If you don’t get into the fourth level of sleep, I call it the relax and repair level, your body cannot do the work that it is supposed to do for healing the ravages of the day. We prefer that you do this on a treadmill, indoors. Keep your heart rate at 90 or under. You want to go slowly enough to breath easily, we don’t want you to sweat, and we don’t want you to become tired. If you have any of these things happen, you are going too fast. If you have to start with five minutes and add a minute each day, that’s okay. You don’t have to do it all at once, either. Do fifteen minute intervals during the day. As you become stronger, you will feel better. I promise you that if you will follow this regimen for thirty days, you will feel 50% better than you do right now. We do like for you to keep in touch when you do this, so that we can monitor your progress, and make suggestions, if necessary.

2) Diet: Simplify. Low carb, low fat. More small meals, rather than three big enough to fill you up. You don’t want to feel hungry and deprived, but you don’t want to walk around all the time, with a full tummy. We especially like the South Beach Diet, because of the number of choices that it gives users. Weight Watchers is very good, too. The truth is that almost any diet will work, if it is followed religiously. We call this the TGIF diet, because we don’t have food restrictions on Saturday. Eat a lot of the food that you have missed the most, during the week. On sunday, still some leeway, but preparing to restrict again, starting on Sunday.

3) Spirituality: Yours, not ours. Whatever will center you, and help you to concentrate on you. This is the time that you think about you and your needs. Prayer, yoga, Pilates or anything else that relaxes you. This will assist in dissipating the adrenaline.

I would like for you to go to the website: www.robyinstitute.com, or www.amazon.com, and either download the first chapter of his new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head…And You Are NOT Crazy!”, or just buy the book, if you like. On the website, first read the section on Hormone Imbalance. My suggestion would be for you to continue on, and read the sections on Food Allergy and Airborne Allergy, as well. Hormones and allergies are so interrelated, that it is sometimes difficult to know where one stops and the other starts. Dr. Roby has found that by treating them simultaneously, the optimal result is reached much more quickly. We like that.

You may find that you have new questions after you’ve finished the reading, if you will just email them to me, I’ll attempt to answer them with more specificity. Please feel free to email me at any time.

Thank you for sharing your problems with us. Now, let’s get you well.
