John Tintera M.D. has said, "In more than 20 years of a busy practive (as an endocrinologist) with 1000's of patients, I've yet to work with an allergic patient whose troubles weren't basically due to poorly functioning adrenals. And who wasn't relieved when his adrenal glands were put in proper working order."
