Testimonial

"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!"

"Food as Medicine

is no longer a radical idea"

"...an increasing body of evidence has demonstrated that individual compounds—as well as complex mixtures of chemicals—derived from food alter the expression of genes in the human body".
"...biologically active compounds include the theaflavins and catechins from tea, curcumin from tumeric, resveratrol from grapes, and lactones from chicory [as well as sulforaphane from broccoli and chlorophyll from wheat grass]".
While chronic diseases are very complex, an opportunity exists to regulate genes involved in inflammation [thus protecting the heart, the brain and other tissues] by enriching our diet with the specific foods inherently rich in such compounds, enriched foods containing standardized extracts of well studied sources, or [their] dietary supplements.
