Patient Comments Comments from Our Patients (some names were changed for confidentiality, but the letters are real) Dear Dr. P, I wanted to thank you again for your time and advice over the past couple of weeks [regarding migraines and asthma]. All of the suggestions on the treatment plan you devised are really starting to make sense to me when I look at the diagram you drew and understand how everything seems to be inter-connected. It is comforting to finally talk to someone who can organize and interpret all of these issues in one place rather than compartmentalizing each one in separate boxes. I know that this is all a process that will take time for change to happen, but I am feeling very hopeful at this point and more in control. Thank you again. Have a nice day.
Dr. P, Sorry that I called so early yesterday; I was flustered and didn't realize the time until after I had dialed. I am doing quite well on the supplements you gave me combined with the physical therapist I am seeing now. Both are proving to be a great deal of help with pain and low energy [from MS].
Hello Doctor, I saw my PCP today. What a stark contrast after visiting you! He spent about 5 minutes with me and then asked if I wanted to try Zelnorm. I told him I didn't have IBS and didn't want to use anything that would artificially stimulate the colon (like laxatives, etc.), he said it still might help. I told him I'm trying something natural right now, so I'd like to hold off. Anyway, he sent me to the lab and they took 2 large and one small tube of blood for tests. The results should come back in 10 days.
Dr. Peter, Thank you and Dr. Pina for coming out to speak with us. It was one of our best [Lupus Support Group] meetings yet. We have touched on many of the topics that you discussed so I think it was good that nothing was completely unfamiliar, but your presentation really brought everything home. I am going to give Natasha some suggestions for her elimination diet if she is open to trying it. We will be in touch.
Peter and Pina,
Hi Doc... First off...let me reiterate how much better I feel...my sinuses are unbelievably clear...at least for what I'm used to... you can definitely use my letter on your website...I wish everyone would realize that natural remedies work. In fact my mother, who was the most skeptical of them all, has made an appointment with an N.D. Second...I think I'm ready to make another appointment to take care of some of my other concerns. Please let me know what kind of availability you have...thanks...
Dear Dr. P, I also wanted to let you know that I have given your phone number to about 4 or 5 people in the past week. I hope they call you. They see the difference in me and want to get results for their own health conditions. I've been telling everyone who will listen to my story and they are so happy for me. I'm not sure what it is that is working for me but I am very thankful. See you next week.
Hello Dr. P: Today, my legs, arms and whole body are relaxing (the muscles). And WHAT a joy that is! I've been a walking tension-bomb for so long, it's nice to have a body that's relaxed. I'm thinking when I see you next, I come again 2 weeks later for another acupuncture, so that I can get my digestive system rejuvenated. I am checking my tongue everyday, and it seems to be getting less cloudy white, and a little healthy pink/red is beginning to show through. Thank you SO MUCH for helping me!!! I see these results in just one week on the regimen, I can't wait to see in 6 months, and especially after we start me with colonics/detox!
Hi Dr. P, Jennifer is still doing great on the elimination diet! We are so happy, and so thankful. We are looking forward to the next steps and thank you very much for all your fine and healthful help!
Dear Dr. P, Thank you very much for suggesting the Belladonna! It really helped. I took it at 12:30 and was feeling better by 1:45. Thanks soooooooooo much!
Dear Dr. P So I talked with my husband and we agreed that it is not really working out with the other practitioner and that I’d rather come to you since I am not really getting herbs from the other place there is no point in going there. Plus my husband said from what he can tell, I am getting much more personal attention and care from you and that I am more comfortable with you in general. I couldn’t agree more!!
Dear Dr. Pina The results are in... and I am PREGNANT! I cannot believe it! I guess all the pomegranate juice really worked! Anyway, I could not be happier and I can’t thank you enough for all your help. I am so thrilled I found your name and came to see you! I am convinced you were the key to getting me pregnant. You and all the Pom juice!!!
Dear Dr. P On another note, I just would like to tell you that I walked out of your office yesterday feeling terrific. Your warm, yet professional, demeanor made me very comfortable and relaxed. I am very confident that you will be able to make me "new" again. I am looking forward to working with you.
Dr. P, Thank you for the phone call this morning. It is so comforting to know that not only are you available to talk to, but you really do care. I hate to repeat myself, but your concern and time and knowing that you are always there for me has been the greatest gifts anyone can give me.
Dear Dr. P, After our session I realized that I have been staying very busy in my head and using outside influences to keep me from staying centered….So, I decided a good place to start might be to journal .... this way I have to stop being so "busy" and allow myself to be in the moment. Besides, communication with others has always helped the relationship to grow and create an environment for us to get closer, why wouldn't it work for the relationship with myself !!!! Physically, my neck felt a lot looser thru the night, although it still hurt, but by morning the pain was gone ( makes sense since all the clutter in my head got uncluttered) .... I believe in fate and that it has brought me to you ...thank you for helping me back on the right path!
Dr. Pina, Just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know how I appreciated all of the kindness and hospitality that you extended to me. I really learn a great deal from you and think you are a fantastic doctor and human! I will be in touch soon when the schedule for the fall starts looking more clear.
Dear Dr. Pina: Julia |
