While I personally have never experienced chronic pain, I am of the opinion that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." I met up and consulted with Dr. Chamberland just prior to what would be one of the most challenging adventures of my life. This particular bucket list item had me convinced that in order to succeed, I needed to avoid succumbing to pain. I also intended to do my best to prevent injury and any long term repercussions. It was the summer of 2011 when I had decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro - the highest mountain peak in Africa. Thanks in part to some of Dr. Chamberland's herbal formulas and a lot of will power, I was indeed successful. Over the course of the climb, I slept like a log and remained pain free."
