I have been going to the Center for Holistic Healing since February, 2016. I've been seriously ill for the past 6 1/2 years. The journey to this date has been very long! At one point I was near death, remained bedridden for months and have stayed mostly"couch ridden" since March of 2010.
I was finally diagnosed with POTS then Mast Cell Activation Disorder with severe multiple chemical sensitivity, among many other conditions. I've seen well over 100 doctors both traditional and alternative medicine in the past 6+ years. At one point I had Gastroparesis, was told a feeding tube wouldn't even help me, was hospitalized over 45 days without answers, had PTSD from severity of my symptoms when I first became ill and nearly died. I had lost 50lbs in 3 months time from malabsorption and my autonomic nervous system was a disaster! By the time I walked into Dr. Schulenberg's office I could eat only 10 foods for the past 2 1/2 years. Anything else would cause anaphylactic reactions. Everyday for the past 2 1/2 yrs I experienced head to toe itching, unexplainable by any doctor. I was unable to take any supplements, herbs, medications etc... without severe side effects and reactions. The list of issues goes on and on, basically I was very very ill.
Within one month, I was able to eat 3x's more foods than I had in nearly 3 years! I'm now able to take supplements and herbs that my body needs but previously was unable to absorb them or they caused awful side effects. I'm sleeping better at night and have been able to reduce a highly addictive prescription drug used for sleep that I've taken since falling ill nearly 7 years ago. My digestion is working the way it is supposed to work and I'm able to go to church and to be in public without a mask to protect me from perfumes and other chemical sensitivities! I'm no longer secluded at home 24/7 and can walk longer and be around scents that I couldn't tolerate for more than a few seconds.
I'm now 2 months into treatment and seeing more and more positive changes to my health and feeling more and more hopeful that I'll be well once again!
Dr. Schulenberg and the Center for Holistic Healing has literally given me my life back to a level I had given up on not long ago! I have a long way to go but to think where I was two short months ago versus where I am now, it's a miracle!!!
I can't say enough good things about the staff. Judy is amazing and is always SO helpful, Amanda their contracted lymphatic massage therapist is incredible, Lynn is the sweetest and so loving and kind and Deb has been very supportive with any technology issues.
Dr. Schulenberg is the best doctor I've ever met! She's a true God send in every sense of the word and has been blessed with the ability to customize your needs based on your particular issues. She's amazing!
I look forward to living my life again for the first time in almost 7 very long years!!! Being a mom the way I want to be to my 13 yr old son and 31 yr old daughter, and a wife to my husband of 16 years. Thank you Dr. Schulenberg, Judy, Lynn, Amanda and Deb for making that happen for me! May God continue to bless you all! And most importantly thanks be to God for leading me to you!
I could go on and on, but the most amazing thing I've seen with treatment here versus anywhere else, is that it's been the ONLY thing that's worked for me since being ill in August of 2009. The progress I've seen in 2 months far outweighs anything else I've tried. And believe me, I've tried everything!!! I'm eternally grateful for you Dr. Schulenberg, Judy, Lynn, Amanda and Deb! Thank you!!!
* Note, as another poster stated, the treatment, supplements etc... can be quite expensive. But they won't ever recommend more than you need and it's been worth the investment to regain my life! read more
