Adrienne’s Story

: Borden Wellness Center

Welcome to the Borden Wellness Center! My name is Adrienne Borden, and I’ve lived in Sarasota, Florida for my entire life. I’ve been an acupuncture physician for 13 years, and over that time span I’m asked quite often what led me to Chinese Medicine, so this is my story.

From the time I was born, to well into my teens, it seemed I was always sick. Plagued with ear infections as a small child, I was on antibiotics frequently and still remember lying on my mother’s lap with a heating pad pressed to my ear. I was out of school quite a bit due to various chest ailments, and always tired. As I got older, I was sick every month with tonsillitis, sinusitis and ear infections, with constant visits to the doctor and the ER-once because my eardrum actually ruptured due to an infection. Antibiotic upon antibiotic I was given, until my immune system started to fail completely since I had been on various medications for years. At 18 years old, my parents were given the option of putting me in the hospital. Instead, they took me to an acupuncturist! A completely different experience, he spent a great deal of time with me, actually looking for the cause of all my illness instead of just treating the symptoms. Treating me holistically, I was given acupuncture, herbs, and vitamins, as well as an education on what to do should I start to become sick again.

I am happy to say from that day on I got better and better. My immune system recovered, and I stopped getting sick. The cycle was finally broken! Three years later, a friend mentioned an acupuncture school here in Sarasota. I had no idea you could actually go to school to be an acupuncturist here in the States! I immediately knew that it was what I was meant to do, and here I am, 16 years later!

I have truly appreciated what this path to health has brought me-a place I love to go to, working with patients that I learn from every day, and being witness to the miracles of healing that the human body can perform. I love to educate my patients and be a partner for them in healing. I have been so fortunate in being given the chance for a new life, and I want to share that opportunity with others. You can have the health and life you deserve-try acupuncture and give your body the chance it needs to heal itself!

HCG Case Study-Patricia loses 15 pounds!

Patricia is a 37 year old female that has been on the diet roller coaster ever since she can remember-the Atkins, South Beach, the Zone, the fat-free diet-you name it, she’s done it! Unfortunately all of these years of yoyo dieting have resulted in a low metabolism, belly fat, and inability to lose weight. Tired of the dieting, Patricia came to us for help. After careful evaluation, it was decided that Patricia would go on the HCG protocol.

After one week, Patricia had lost 4 pounds and was doing well. She was shocked to find she wasn’t hungry and her energy had improved! The following week Patricia had a chocolate moment but was very wise and kept it to a minimum! She lost 6 pounds that week and 5 pounds the following week for a total loss of 15 pounds! Thrilled that the weight is finally coming off, Patricia is going to do another 3 week cycle of HCG to get the last 15 pounds off and get into that size 8!

Bill is a 60 year old male that is interested in losing 30 pounds which is mainly concentrated in his abdomen. After working in corporate American for all of his life, he has endured a lot of stress and has taken to a few cocktails every night as well as getting into the junk food. Although skeptical about the HCG protocol, he agrees to give it a try due to the urging of his daughter, who is concerned about his health.

After 1 week, Bill had lost 10 pounds. And much to his amazement, (and mine!) he hadn’t cheated at all! He was so happy with his results he continued on to a total weight loss of 30 pounds-he even extended his protocol a bit beyond the 3 weeks to reach his goal. Two of the things Bill was happiest about isthat his golf game improved, and he could see his toes for the first time in 20 years! Six months later the weight is still off, Bill only drinks alcohol two days a week as opposed to seven days a week, and he stays away from all of the processed foods and eats fruit, veggies, and lean protein!

Jane is a 59 year old female that has been struggling to lose weight for most of her life, and is finding at this point in her life that no matter what she does, she can’t lose a pound. In fact, she is steadily gaining weight around the abdomen despite reduced caloric intake. Incredibly frustrated, Jane decided to try the HCG protocol. One week later she returned for her hypnoacupuncture treatment in a bit of shock-she had lost 7 pounds! She had adhered to the protocol perfectly, wasn’t hungry, and had tons of energy. In the following 2 weeks, Jane’s weight continued to go down at a steady rate, for a total weight loss of 20 pounds! Not only she did lose weight, but her hot flashes went away due to the healing effects of the acupuncture, and she no longer craved sugar or carbs, due to the hypnosis! One year later, Jane has maintained her weight loss and enjoys eating a variety of healthy foods!

HCG-The Amazing Weight Loss Protocol

admin — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 18:12:59 +0000

The Borden Wellness Center offers the amazing HCG weight loss protocol as created by Dr. Simeon. This incredible program stimulates your body to lose 1-2 pounds of unhealthy fat per day from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs! This works through the use of HCG, or human gondadotrophin hormone, which is normally produced by the pregnant female body. It is produced in order to signal the hypothalamus in the brain to release the fat in the body for calories for the baby. In non-pregnant patients, small dosages of this hormone do the same thing, resulting in loss of unhealthy fat in the body, but not muscle or structural fat! The point of this weight loss protocol is that the weight loss is permanent, and it also rebalances your metabolism so that once the weight is off, it stays off forever! AND you can eat normally for the rest of your life-no more dieting! The sisters combine this program with hypnoacupuncture, which is a synchronized combination of hypnosis and acupuncture designed to detoxify the body and stimulate the metabolism, as well as creating positive behavioral changes for healthy eating. This program is safe, simply, and amazingly effective-most patients lose between 15-20 pounds in the 3 weeks!

Allergies are a way of life for millions of people and can make life miserable. Acupuncture treats allergies with remarkable results by increasing immunity and healing inflammation!

Brenda is a 49 year old who has had allergies for the past 30 years. The allergies manifest as constant sneezing, runny nose, and itchy and swollen eyes. The allergies are from pollen, mold, cats, and dust. She has been taking 2 antihistamines a day for the past 30 years to control these allergies, and still sneezes anyway!

After 2 sessions, Brenda has stopped her medication and although she still sneezes, the attacks are dramatically reduced. After 4 more sessions, her eyes are no longer swollen or itchy, she no longer has any sneezing attacks, and her sinuses are clear. She is completely off her antihistamines, and is enjoying all of her new found energy and allergy-free life!
