Dr. Debé makes every effort to help each individual achieve his/her health and fitness goals. He does a thorough evaluation on each person and then designs a customized program to produce the best results. Working with Dr. Debé, many of his patients have achieved great things. Here are a few of our success stories:
A thorough conventional work-up by the Mayo Clinic could not find any explanation for Dawn's disabling fatigue. Special functional medicine testing helped Dr. Debé identify the nutritional and metabolic causes of Dawn's fatigue and chemical sensitivities. Dawn is proof that people can be helped with their health "long distance" and that functional medicine is the best approach for chronic conditions.
Mary has had complete recovery from impaired walking ability, numbness, fatigue, poor balance, brain fog, headaches, as well as gastroesophageal reflux, and other symptoms by following a metabolically-tailored diet and supplement program. Doctors had told her she may never know what was wrong with her and that perhaps it was a genetic condition. Genes do indeed predispose to chronic health conditions but lifestyle and environment are usually more important factors. Computerized analysis of blood work led to the conclusion that what she was eating was the cause of much of her problem.
Suffering with Hashimoto's (Autoimmune) Hypothyroidism, Celia hadn't felt well for decades...until now. Metabolically-tailored nutrition, based on special laboratory tests, has helped Celia overcome fatigue, pain, bloating, insomnia, and hot flashes.
After suffering with terrible symptoms of ulcerative colitis for more than 30 years, Gerry is now symptom-free! A new special lab test uncovered the underlying causes of Gerry's condition.
A metabolically-tailored nutrition and supplement program, based on results of special nutritional-metabolic laboratory tests, is helping Denise overcome debilitating symptoms of autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Grave's disease) and COPD.
Susan was morbidly obese and her diabetes was out of control despite using insulin and other medications. She has made amazing progress through her disciplined application of a therapeutic lifestyle program. Her Hemoglobin A1C dropped from 15.8 to 6.4 and she got off insulin.
Sharon had suffered for years with irritable bowel syndrome, consulting 6 gastroenterologists but getting no help. Special lab tests uncovered the source of her trouble and led to successful treatment.
Only 2 weeks into a metabolically-tailored diet and supplement program, Charlie has seen huge improvements in his asthma and anxiety.
Barbara has overcome high cholesterol, diabetes, and signs of aging through diet, supplements, exercise, and natural hormone replacement.
Fifteen year-old Ryan overcomes obesity and fatigue through a therapeutic lifestyle program.
16 year-old Ryan is proof that a healthy lifestyle change can be sustained long-term. He has lost 41 pounds in total.
Metabolically-tailored diet and supplements helped Ken cure his irritable bowel syndrome and diabetes.
Before we got the idea to use video, some of our patients gave us testimonials the old-fashioned way. Here are a few of their success stories:
When I first consulted Dr. Debé in February 2004, I was having symptoms that were disrupting my everyday life. I was experiencing episodes of dizziness, fatigue, visual disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. This happened everyday and I would also sweat, panic, and turn pale white. I would have to eat and then I would fall asleep. These episodes happened if I went more than an hour and a half without eating. I even had momentary blackouts while driving home from work.
These episodes had been bad for several years by the time I met Dr. Debé. I had already seen many doctors. I saw several general practitioners, a heart doctor, a psychiatrist, and a neurologist. None of these doctors had an explanation for my episodes. There examinations and testing found nothing wrong with me. They were unable to help me.
Although my other doctors had done blood tests, Dr. Debé did some special testing that none of my other doctors had done. He found the problem! Dr. Debé told me that I had elevated levels of ammonia.
He gave me a nutritional supplement to help my body detoxify the ammonia. It is called Alpha KG Plus. It worked! Soon after starting the Alpha KG Plus, my episodes stopped!
I have run out of Alpha KG Plus several times since I started taking it. Each time I ran out, the episodes returned. When I started taking it again, the episodes disappeared. Now I make sure to stock extra bottles of Alpha KG Plus so that I don’t run out.

When I became a patient of Dr. Joseph Debé’s I had previously sought help for PMS through several other doctors within three years. These other doctors were medical doctors, but were not able to help me like Dr. Debé has. Two of these previous doctors used some of the same tests that Dr. Debé used with me but were unable to interpret my results with the accuracy that Dr. Debé has. Following Dr. Debé’s suggestions and taking the recommended supplements, the PMS I used to experience has completely vanished. This is a miracle to me. I always thought my PMS could perhaps be improved by the right nutritional supplements, but I never thought the worst part of PMS (the emotional fragility and irritability) could be eliminated within a matter of weeks. Thanks to Dr. Debé, and his incredible knowledge, I no longer dread this time of the month; I’m calm, I’m patient with my children and I’m not bloated, irritated or overly emotional.
But besides Dr. Debé’s knowledge of nutrition and the intricate biochemistry of the body, he is the nicest doctor I’ve ever known. He is extremely patient, and I think he truly has a desire to help. Dr. Debé is never in a rush like most health care professionals are these days – he is professional, yet friendly, and quite impressively, he is able to help me understand, in layman’s terms, what is actually going on in my body and why he suggests certain supplements. I come away from my consultations with him completely comprehending everything. It’s like a nutrition lesson (one that’s enjoyable). Instead of being just told to take something, he explains the reasons why, and I appreciate that.
I knew very quickly Dr. Debé was a different kind of health care professional. I truly believe that because of his knowledge, experience and scientific approach to restoring health, that given the opportunity, he could uncover the root causes of many illnesses.

A couple of years ago, I discovered Dr. Debé's website through an internet search. I had been to several doctors for symptoms ranging from fatigue to lack of energy and overall joy in life but to no avail. Dr. Debé introduced me to the ASI and we discovered a case of severe adrenal fatigue. He suggested an innovative protocol and within 2-3 weeks, I improved dramatically. As time passed, Dr. Debé fine-tuned the protocol, with latest cutting edge supplement and exercise support, as well as innovative tests such as mineral analysis and liver detox testing, which helped immensely in diagnosing issues such as deficient liver sulfation, which were treated adequately within a couple of months. To this time, I regularly consult with Dr. Debé as he keeps on adding to his repertoire of treatments and innovations. I would strongly recommend anyone who would like to solve a chronic issue or just improve their quality of life to Dr. Debé's practice. Sitting 7000 miles away in Pakistan, I had lost hope of ever recovering until I started Dr. Debé's treatment.

I am a 48 year old female, who in April 2004 was plagued with Extreme Fatigue and was unable to function both at work and at home. I also had stomach pain, episodes of constipation and diarrhea, recurrent sinusitis, and sensitivity to exhaust fumes, carpets, perfumes, and chemical odors. In early Spring 2004, I visited my primary care physician and had blood work done. The results appeared to be normal and my physician’s recommendation was that I might possibly be depressed. He asked me to consider taking anti-depressants. Instinctively, I knew that this was not the issue that was creating my fatigue and decided to seek alternative therapy.
Through extensive research I came in contact with Dr. Joseph Debé during the fall of 2004. The first thing Dr. Debé recommended was to take a series of targeted blood tests. These results of these tests determined that I had adverse reactions to milk, egg, soy, and grains, intestinal yeast overgrowth, low thyroid hormone, and deficiencies of many nutrients including every single mineral, which directly impacted my overall health.
After following a program, that Dr. Debé suggested, which was a combination of appropriate supplements and dietary changes, today, November 10, 2006, I am feeling much better and have a renewed positive outlook for my health and future.

I consulted Dr. Debé for poor digestion and eczema, which I had developed years ago. I had previously seen another nutritionist but didn’t make any progress.

Dr. Debé sent me to get a gastrointestinal panel, based on his understanding of elevated cortisol and GI infection. I have elevated cortisol, based on lab results. An article of Dr. Debé’s on the web was the only one among months of reading web articles on elevated cortisol that suggested a connection between elevated cortisol and my GI problems. When I consulted with him, he strongly recommended the GI panel. Patrick H. Hare Cornwall, CT.
Dr. Debé has been a blessing to my health since my first visit with him.
Before I learned about Dr. Debé, my health was so bad, I looked into applying for disability. Even though I was ill nearly every day, I didn’t however qualify.
When I started with Dr. Debé, I was suffering from poor digestion. I was having bloating and pain after meals. I was tired a lot also. My focus was not good. I had an overall feeling of sickness.Dr. Debé did a series of tests on me, finding I had some imbalances: high blood sugar, low thyroid hormones, low cortisol, and high mercury levels.
I have been a patient of Dr. Debé’s for more than a year and would just like to commend him for his patience and understanding but especially for his knowledge in the health and nutrition field.
Thanks for helping me take the 15 pounds back off after my injury. It was easy for me to lose the weight because I wasn't hungry due to the combination of diet and supplements. You didn't give me a diet, you gave me a new way of life!
I am down 42 pounds and 9 inches in the waist. Dr. Debé’s testing showed I have lost all my weight in body fat, none from muscle. Thanks to the supplements that Dr. Debé gave me, I am now able to go into a supermarket without feeling the necessity to raid the cupcake boxes.
Dr. Debé’s program not only helped me lose 30 pounds, but my cholesterol dropped 103 points...and all in just three months! |
