Saving the world, one ovary at a time ...

I received a fabulous testimonial from one of my patients and I had to share it.  I love when naturopathic medicine and it's gentle, non-toxic approach help patients achieve health in a way that is truly life-altering.  This woman can to me with such devastating hormonal imbalance that another physician actually recommending removing her ovaries.  Now, sometimes surgeries are necessary and life-saving, but all too often women's organs are removed  before all the other options have been explored.  So before you or your love ones consider high-force interventions, consider the alternative. First I have to tell you that my life has completely changed, thanks to you!  After we figured out the whole Pyroluria thing, I have been consistently taking my vitamins and my symptoms of anxiety, inability to handle stress, panic attacks, crying spells, and depression have improved almost 100%.  Things are not perfect - but I can manage my life, stress, and relationships much easier now.  I can't remember the last time I felt capable of managing life.  I was recently able to find a job, I have improved my friendships, I am getting involved in activities and meeting new people.  This was never possible before.  Even my periods are much easier to manage.  Before I would be symptomatic two weeks before my period started.  Now, I don't even know I"m going to have my period until about the day before.  I am living a much more normal life.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to research my symptoms, and help me figure out what the hell was going on.  :)  You have done much more for me than any traditional doctor ever attempted.  They all immediately jumped to the conclusion that I had mental health issues and needed to be medicated or recommended I have surgery to remove my ovaries and undergo extensive hormone replacement options.  All of those options would have changed my life forever, with no hope of recovery.  Now I feel like I have a second opportunity to make life what I want now that I have my health back!  Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Testimonial

I received a lovely card card from a patient recently and, with her permission, wanted to share her experience.  It put a smile on my face that lasted the whole day :) Thank you for taking care of my health and for helping me get rid of my gallstones.  Your practice has really opened my eyes to alternatives and eating better - it changed me in a positive way.  I will always recommend you to others.  What you have done for me has enlightened my life - SW, age 45

Winter Rejuvenation Cleanse

With the Winter Rejuvenation cleanse coming to a close, I invited my dear friend, owner and creative director of Sol Vida Dance!,  April Charmaine, to guest blog about her personal experience with the program.  I was impressed and inspired by what she had to say.  Enjoy! After putting on major weight by indulging in every single thing imaginable -  brie cheeses, cakes, cookies, hams, Irish liqueurs and wine nearly every day of November and December - I was feeling on the verge of a physical, mental, and psychological crisis.

Then along came my friend, Dr. O’Connor and the All Families Natural Health Winter Rejuvenation program. I’d wanted to cleanse my body for sometime now, but didn’t have the conviction or moral support to do it. On January 18, I found out that would I be saying goodbye to all my best friends: caffeine, animal products, GLUTEN, SUGAR, and alcohol. What I didn’t know at the time is that I would be saying goodbye to my monthly PMS migraine, my general lack of energy, my constant need for a vice, and extra weight and inches.

After the second week of the cleanse, I really began to get over my withdrawal symptoms and began to feel a “zinging” energy which I’m still maintaining today. Three weeks later, my zest for life has dramatically increased and I am producing like never before. I truly believe this is because I am taking care of myself by eating whole foods and  drinking so much more water. Go figure, it is actually not that difficult.

I have gained so much from Dr. O’Connor’s guidance through this program.  I feel that if I take even half of the habits I’ve acquired through this process with me, I am going to be a much happier and healthier  person for a much longer time. I love looking in my food cabinets now and seeing an array of bulk items, medicinal foods and so much less packaging   My  fridge is  filled with things that I’ve actually made and that actually taste good. I am building that healthy, whole foods kitchen I always craved and desired. And imagine me -  a total sweets freak - who can hardly handle the sweetness of raisins now!

I authentically feel really good!
