K. Swearingen’s Thanks for Mold Detox and Sensitivities

I am so grateful for the care I have been receiving, for a complicated case of extreme sensitivities, mold exposure, and a whole host of other things. Other doctors I went to meant well, but they detoxed me way too fast and did not have the knowledge Dr. Potter has, nor did they dig to find the root cause.

And being able to get quick answers for things, when I really needed them on the road…so thankful. You are in good hands with him, and I love Lauren…she also cares so deeply about the progress of patients. I am healthier and stronger, and at one point I could barely move and was sub 100 pounds. May your healing journey begin. Thank you again to Dr. Potter and everyone at Sanctuary.

From Dr. Potter

“Our patients’ stories of restoration are always blessings to hear. So many come to us with broken bodies, even broken lives, yet finding the root cause and applying the best of customized natural and conventional therapies through our team over time sets so many free. We are thankful that we get the privilege of being God’s hands and feet in facilitating that recovery.”

Hives and Anaphylaxis

A story and thanks from AS

“To say Dr. Eric Potter and the folks at Sanctuary saved my life is not hyperbole! When I was incredibly sick and had no idea where to turn in 2022, Dr. Potter and the sweet people of Sanctuary were there for me, in more ways than one. They helped me discover my multiple underlying conditions that had previously gone undiagnosed. They consistently showed up for me emotionally and professionally when I was at my lowest of lows. When I was stuck limited to eating two foods, Dr. Potter and his team helped me figure out why I was having anaphylaxis daily and got me out of the endless loop of ER visits and confusion. Now, four years later of incredible care, I am graduating (SADLY) from this program since I am now functioning well on my own and with a good regimen of medications. It’s all thanks to the team at Sanctuary and Dr. Potter. If you are scared and don’t know where to turn, go to Sanctuary. They are empathetic, compassionate, and will work for a solution until you are confident to “graduate.” They won’t leave your side until you are ready – and that, to me, is the most important thing of all.”

“I have been working with Dr. Potter and the team for more than a year and have never felt better! They are helping me with a hard to manage condition, but I have never felt better cared for. One of the best things about Sanctuary is the total team effort—physician, nursing, and nutritionist. This is truly a dedicated and coordinated functional medicine practice full of the kindest and most caring people. I recommend the practice highly!”

A story and thanks from TS

Finding Dr. Potter and his team at Sanctuary has been a literal Godsend! For 2 years prior, my daughter was very sick. Despite numerous medical appointments, including ER visits, no one could figure out the root of her symptoms, which included sudden OCD, intermittent and unexplained vomiting, skin issues and more. Sanctuary helped pinpoint the root cause (mold) and she quickly began to improve. Her sister has also begun treatment at Sanctuary because of some different mold-related symptoms that we could not address on our own. She also is seeing improvement in a short time. The road to their healing is a journey, but we have been so thankful for their encouraging team of a Dr, PA, nutritionist, nurses, coordinators and receptionists who are working on their behalf!”

A story and thanks from TS

“They gave me my life back! I prayed for healing and didn’t realize how much healing I needed until I began treatment with them. They are a God-sent for me! If you are struggling with health issues, I wouldn’t hesitate to get an appointment! Don’t expect to get an overnight healing or a pill. They get to the root of the problem and work with you and teach you to stay as healthy as possible! I am truly thankful for finding them, for them, and for my much better life! This is an answer to prayer! Thank you SFM!!”

B. Brimer’s Thanks

We knew something was wrong because our son wouldn’t engage in communication, he lost his desire to talk and he didn’t use eye contact – he was becoming isolated in his own world. But when we heard our son had autism, we were shocked. It doesn’t run in our families, we don’t use drugs or drink and we eat mostly organic. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 4. I didn’t for a minute think he was born with it, which is what our pediatrician told us. We had our son genetically tested and found out he had an MTHFR defect. Upon researching we found Dr. Potter to be an expert in this area. When we saw Dr. Potter and his staff they worked on finding the underlying problem instead of pushing some pill. His autism was treated as a symptom and not the underlying problem. Through a serious of labs, we found out that our son’s cells were very rancid after being contaminated. We suspected aluminum to be the cause and we were right. Dr. Potter put us on a program to fix the rancidity and remove the aluminum. It had been about 8 months now and our son is well on his path to a full recovery. He is no longer in his own world, he communicates, he uses eye contact, he laughs and cracks jokes. He is 6 now and he is still a little behind, but that is because we lost him for a couple of years. Our pediatrician would have never ordered the test Dr Potter did and would have only put our son on some drug he did not need. If you want to fix your underlying problem and get healthy again, your best bet is with Dr. Potter.

At one of the most confusing, difficult times in my life Dr. Eric Potter brought the hope and answers I needed. When we first met and he opened our appointment with prayer I knew I had found the perfect doctor for me. He was empathetic and listened carefully to every symptom I was feeling. He was devoted to digging deeper and finding the root cause to whatever was causing the problems I was facing.

Dr. Potter provided a 15-page wellness program and an over hour-long phone call thoroughly explaining the complicated diagnosis of MTHFR and other various genetic SNPs. He was attentive and answered every question I had. I am most appreciative that the wellness plan was not a “one-size-fits-all” protocol. He tailored it specifically to my issues and was devoted to restoring balance to my body naturally. For example, instead of jumping to prescribing thyroid medicine to treat my low hormones levels, he advised to take the necessary steps to restore hormone production naturally, and it worked. Now, a year later I am feeling better than I ever have. When I first met with him I was eating a very limited diet, probably under 20 safe foods, and now I am eating so many I can’t even count.

I am living a normal life without any symptoms I used to have, like excessive fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, irregular and painful menstruation, food intolerances, and for that I am forever grateful.

I feel as though I finally have answers to problems that have troubled me from a young age that
were just overlooked. I have never had this thorough of information and test results that prove
actual problems and not just being a hypochondriac. No doubt that Sanctuary Functional Medicine has been an answer to many prayers and will continue to be a blessing. So grateful for the doctors, nurses, and support here.

“Sanctuary has been a different experience for me, but a good one. I had been looking for answers for 6 years before I found Dr. Potter. I have to drive 2 hours to get to his office and I am happy to do so. Dr. Potter listens to my entire story and writes everything down to evaluate what is going on. It isn’t a quick 15 minute appoint and here are your meds. I feel him and his team care about my health. My recovery has been slow, but the gains I have seen with my health are worth it. Symptoms that have been with me for years are going away. I forgot what it was like having a healthy body. One huge recovery is my Raynaud Syndrome symptoms are gone. First time I haven’t lost feeling in my fingers or toes in 7 years! I can’t wait to see how my journey to recovery unfolds.”

I am very thankful to have come so far in my healing journey. I was just thinking this morning that I no longer have that overwhelming feeling of fatigue when I first wake up. You, your knowledge, protocol, and staff have been and are such a blessing to me (and my family). To have a doctor and staff who pray over their patients and seek God’s wisdom is a blessing that I do not take lightly. Brings to mind the verse from Philippians – “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.” I am still praying for you, your family, and staff. Even on those not so great days – I am encouraged that God has a plan and that He walks with us through these faith stretching times in which we live. Blessings
