Testimonial Letters to Dr. Cathy Ostroff

From Sharon Treacy 4/10

"When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my hands would shake and I felt dizzy and exhausted all the time.  I was eating the wrong things, had no energy, couldn't focus or concentrate, and my friends and family were very worried about me".

My doctor sent me to a dietician who did not tell me anything I did not know.  She didn't tell me what to eat, just to avoid sugar.

When I saw Dr. Ostroff for a nutritional consultation, she looked at my blood work, told me how and what to eat, and what supplements to take.  My symptoms started to diminish right away.  If I went off my plan or skipped a good breakfast, my symptoms returned.

"Since following Dr. Ostroff's recommendations, I've lost 42 pounds, I was able to decrease my lipitor medication, my blood work improved and my doctor is very happy with my progress.  I feel so much better now and am so happy!"

From Andy Hess, Physical Therapist  12/09

"I have suffered from neck and hand pain and restricted motion in my neck and upper back from a ruptured disc in my neck for a few years.  I also had chronic weakness in three of my fingers.  My injuries led to a tear in my biceps muscle which was repaired with two surgeries.  At the time I received physical therapy and medication, but still had left and right hand pain and weakness in my arm.  Dr. Ostroff examined and treated me with the activator instrument, and I began feeling an improvement in my symptoms after three sessions.  As a physical therapist, I knew that I had restricted motion in my neck and upper back, but could not find a way to increase the motion even with all the different stretches and exercises I tried.  I am thankful that Dr. Ostroff was able to restore that motion. I am pain-free now!"

From Claire W.  5/09—

I first came to see you after being hospitalized with a possible multiple sclerosis diagnosis. The medical doctors were completely stumped as to my condition. Dr. Ostroff really listened to what I had to say and probed for any causes of the problem. She recommended and I have followed a high quality vitamin and mineral regimen to restore my core health. [And have avoided the foods that were tested positive for immune sensitivity in the blood testing she advised]

She has been a true source of wisdom and alternative resources as I have traveled my journey back to health. She has helped me understand the critical role that food, vitamins and minerals play in my health.

With her support, guidance and encouragement, I have been able to feel like there is a lot that I can do to impact and restore my health. I do not have to be a helpless victim, waiting for the medical doctors to solve my problems. I am my own best healer and Dr. Ostroff has helped me to realize that. 

I have made a full and complete return to health since I came in for my first visit 7 months ago. Thank you Dr. Ostroff!

From Kathy Schubert 6/09--

Dear Dr Ostroff,

Thank you for the follow up! My hives have dramatically improved since I got my test results and implemented the nutritional program. The first 3 weeks were bad, but after that I had a dramatic improvement. I still wake up in the mornings with some on my neck and face, but they are lighter and fade quicker during the day. I find that I rarely have a breakout in day, but on a rare occasion I will still have a problem. Overall it has been significantly better. I have eliminated cow’s milk completely and substituted Goats milk. I had tried Soy milk but it actually makes me feel ill so I have avoided it all together. I also eliminated yeast as well, and have worked in a good food rotation. I do appreciate the follow up.

From Jean Eisele--

 Dr. Ostroff has  provided me with chiropractic care for many years and I”ve told her that her care is part of my health maintenance plan.

Recently I also began taking homeopathic remedies prescribed by  Dr. Ostroff. I have been very allergic for many years including air born pollens and dust, and food allergies. The result was a loss of sense of smell. Dr Ostroff's analysis and recommended remedies have helped me regain my sense of smell and I experienced significant relief from severe headache and sinus distress related to another allergic reaction. I also had improved endurance.

Recently, I woke up with severe laryngitis. I had a very important presentation to give for my job the following day and I was panicked. I hesitated to call Dr. Ostroff’s office since I couldn't make a sound, but luckily Dr. Ostroff called me back and I croaked my problem over the phone. She quickly reviewed my symptoms  and recommended a remedy that gave immediate relief, allowing my voice to return, and allowing me to successfully fulfill my work obligation. It certainly relieved my stress over the laryngitis and responsibility to my job.

I thank Dr. Ostroff for her care and patience.

 

From Barbara Rieger, R. N.--

Dear Dr. Ostroff,

I’m writing this letter to express my thanks to you for “improving my quality of life”. At my first appointment with you in October 1989, I was skeptical as to whether you would be able to relieve a four year history of chronic neck pain. Orthopedists were unable to help relieve my symptoms so I resigned myself to constant discomfort.

I am amazed that a three month series of chiropractic adjustments could eliminate all of my pain and neck immobility.  I am expressing my gratitude to you directly and also will relate the experience to others so that they may benefit from your approach to a “natural drug-free method of health care”.

Thank you again from a very happy patient.

 

From Barbara Regan--

Dear Dr. Ostroff,

When I developed severe lower back pain which was radiating down my leg, I thought I would never walk, or be able to do normal activities again.  Drugs didn’t take away the pain;  I did not want an MRI or pain injections and I certainly did not want an operation. 

My neighbor had been helped by Dr. Ostroff, so I decided to seek her help and guidance.  Dr. Ostroff used the Activator Method.  The three phases were the acute, corrective and maintenance phases coupled with an exercise regimen.

I am currently in the maintenance phase and am able to function normally.  More, importantly, my mental outlook has improved tremendously, thanks to you, Dr. Ostroff.

 

From Maureen Guilina 2008--

I have been and continue to be a patient of Dr. Cathy Ostroff for seven years.  Most recently, I was sick and disabled from a spasmotic cough that lingered from a severe cold and bronchitis.  Through Dr. Ostroff's dedicated questioning, researching and suggesting a homeopathic remedy, my cough disappeared.  This is just one example of my wellness being renewed and maintained through the ongoing care of Dr. Ostroff.
