"This past winter was a scary, desperate and depressing time for me.  I had developed a case of eczema on my hands, face, arms and chest.  It started with the hands and quickly spread.  My MD was unable to provide me with any hope or solution to the problem.  I am a massage therapist and suddenly I was faced with a great amount of lost time from work.  My hands hurt and itched all of the time.  I was so stressed out with the eczema and the financial problems it was causing me.  Things looked very, very bleak.  I believed I was going to have to stop being a massage therapist (a job I love) and seek another means of employment.  And, I was at a point where I fully believed the eczema was going to spread until it was every where on my body

I decided to seek alternative routes to become well.  And, that is where Dr. McElveen comes in.  From the first meeting she was giving me information about the causes of eczema and a plan of attack to get back to health.  She also gave me a sense of having control over the situation and that there was hope, because together we would find out what the causes were and solve the mystery.

Within 2 months I am so much healthier and happier.  My eczema is nearly gone and I now know what are some of the causes that bring it on, so I can be proactive in preventing further outbreaks.  Not only that, the anti-inflammatory diet has changed my life.  I have had migraines for 22 years on a weekly bases.  I haven't had one since removing wheat and sugar from my diet.  I am greatly improved where digestion, energy level, and acid reflux is concerned as well.

Overall, this has been one of my two best experiences where a health practitioner is concerned!  I have found her to be deeply committed, sympathetic and dedicated to me and my search to return to health.  It is her goal to teach people how to keep themselves healthy and she has accomplished this in my case.  She has left me feeling more empowered and healthy than I have in years.  I cannot sing her praises enough!  Thank you!"

"I had been having incredible hip pain for almost 2 years due to an injury on a bad piece of exercise equipment. I wasn't able to walk up many stairs without pulling myself up the handrail, nor was I able to sit for very long without having muscle cramping and twitching. I haven't been able to sleep for months due to the pain and I had no idea naturopathic medicine would even be an option for pain management. I had received a few cortisone shots from my orthopedist and still, the pain would return.

I saw Dr K twice in one week for injection therapy, and I've been pain-free ever since! I'm able to sleep better, walk up stairs without pain and continue with my physical therapy regime to continue healing. Thank you Dr K!"
