Good news! I received the results of my Pap and HPV tests this week. A.D. Please add me to your e-mail list. My first visit was today 1/4/08 and I already feel a difference! I'm thanking Simply Healing Clinic in advance for aiding in my healing process. S.L. In Dec., 2006 I had prostate cancer with a PSA count of 34.4. The 'HOLY SPIRIT' directed me to the web site www.simplyhealingclinic.com. I began taking herbs from Simply Healing Clinic. In July of 2007, I started taking radiation treatment for Prostate Cancer in conjunction with the herbs from Simply Healing Clinic. In October of 2007 my PSA count was down to 0.1. Most of all I thank God for my results. I thank Simply Healing Clinic for the herbs and The Cancer Clinic for the radiation treatment. Dr. Strande and his staff of Simply Healing Clinic have been outstanding. C.M. Dr. Strande: Dear Dr. Strande and Staff, Thank you for being at the other end of the phone and filling my boxes. You are of the few lifesaving outposts. I am the “poster child” for Simply Healing Clinic. I mean that. J.P. Dr. Strande, I wanted you to know how pleased I am with the results to date of the treatment I have received. When I first saw you in May 2007, I was depressed, having anxiety attacks, chronic pain in my arms and neck due to Fibromyalgia, severe constipation and several herniated discs in my cervical spine. I awoke with a headache every morning and due to the pain and inflammation in my joints was unable to perform even simple everyday tasks. I also had chronic constipation for three years. Since starting your treatment regiment after three months, I am so much better. I consulted with my regular M.D. in August 2007 for my yearly checkup. My lab work results prior to that visit were always out of range, especially my liver panels due to the prescription drugs I was taking. I just received my blood test results and every test is within normal limits. My bowel movements are now regular. The inflammation in my body has greatly improved. I am practically pain free. My M.D. is not very happy that I am using herbal medication instead of what he prescribed. The jealous and angry look on his face was so childish I could not believe it. However, the proof is in the lab results and how I feel after just 90 days on your treatment. Thank you so much. Martha P. Dear Allison, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for spending so much time talking with me today and especially for your help on my road to recovery by offering me to come out to the clinic. You are a beautiful soul. P.S. Ditto for Dr. Strande. I don’t want to take anything away from him. You know how good he is. Courtney R.
I desperately needed to reduce my high cholesterol. Dr. Strande provided an herbal formula to drive down the cholesterol. After six months Dr. Strande’s herbal remedy, my total cholesterol score went from 243 to 183 and my HDL went from 163 to 121. My doctor was amazed when he compared the test results. He could not believe I accomplished this without medication. Bill M.
March 5, 2007 I met Aleksander Strande, Ph.D. at a meeting in Irvine, California in 2000. During the meeting he learned I was recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I had been treated for breast cancer in 1984 with a lumpectomy, radiation and adjunctive chemotherapy. One of the side effects of the radiation therapy is osteoporosis. Dr. Strande put me on a regimen for osteoporosis. In July 2002 I found a lump in the same breast, same location. While waiting for testing and staging, Dr. Strande started to augment my treatments at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston. I felt the herbs and supplements made my treatments easier on my body. In 2005 I developed hypertension and A fib were diagnosed. They found something in my upper lobe on a chest x-ray. Once again, Dr. Strande ratcheted up the herbs and supplements. With CT scan of chest and finally a PET scan they found not a sign of detectable cancer. Just scar tissue from radiation in 1984. Since the check up they found a thickened area in the other breast that proved negative with a Thermogram, mammogram and breast ultrasound. In 2006 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and thyroid dysfunction. I am using a CPAP machine each night. Dr. Strande is giving me new herbs to help my thyroid. I am no coming up on 5 years of being cancer free. I am grateful to Dr. Strande and his skills of combining herbs, aminos and supplements to help me stay cancer free. Patricia
Dear Dr. Strande, I just wanted to share with you and those that read your website, how much I greatly appreciate you. Before I met you, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. I was tired, depressed, could not sleep, had poor memory, pain in my neck and thumb from arthritis, my legs and feet ached, I was very emotional, had bad hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, spider veins on my face, was impatient, bad bladder problems, high blood pressure and had no energy at all. Basically, as street talk would say, “I felt like shit.” Then, I found you. You changed all of that for me. My symptoms are now 90% better. I’m off all prescription drugs and on your herbal medicine and it really is a miracle what you have done for me. I want to thank you so much for helping me and giving me back my life. It feels great! You are definitely my miracle medicine man. God blessed me with you. Thank you and love to you, Ruthanne Dear Dr. Strande, Many times I wanted to tell you how much of a big change you made in my life. You were the first one in my life to detect that my weirdness, which bordered on feebleness sometimes, was physiological and curable. Your herbs little by little woke me up. It had to be plants to rescue me: since my childhood only among plants in a garden or in open nature (or later in life in the mountains) did I become myself. Now, instead of being sad about what I lost, I shall continue my spirit, not to get lost in fogginess in my later years. I am also happy to see Allison every time I come to see you – you are soulmates. You two spread a feeling of well being around yourselves. One feels better just hearing both of your voices over the phone. J.R. Dr. Strande, When I first spoke with you on 9/25/06, I was suffering from endometriosis with pelvic pain, back pain, allergies, poor energy, craved sugar, was bloated with gas, had problems sleeping, horrible post-nasal drip and itchy eyes and ears. I tried everything and nothing worked, so I tried Dr. Strande. Now I feel 100% better. Thank you, Dr. Strande. Sincerely, Simply Healing Clinic Dr.Strande and Allison, When I first saw you in April 06 with Hepatitis C and Liver Cirrhosis, my viral load was 2,080,000. M. Sawyer Kind regards, Dear Dr. Strande and Allison, I wanted to write and tell you of the great results I’ve gotten with Dr. Strande’s help.
Here is my liver panel results for 4/20/06: ast=198 Here are the results for 8/3/06: I have another go round with the gastroenterologist on the 31st of August and will keep you updated on my results. Dr.Strande and Allison "ROCK!” I forgot to mention I was on lisinopril at 10mg a day for blood pressure 144/90. Thank you so much, Mark S. I realize it may be a bit delayed (but the information is always timeless), I wish to say thank you for Aleksander Strande, Ph.D.'s article "Childern and Emotional Disorders." in the March/April 2006 issue of Awareness Magazine. I appreciated the fact that, in this article, he mentions how there might be stress in our lives, but put yourself in your children's shoes, and you start to realize how much stress there is on them--that it's not enough to get a 4.0 average, but you have to be involved in this and that and leadership and rush rush rush.... I recall feeling incredibly overwhelmed from the time I was about 12 until 18, and even until I chose, at age 22, to not play that game just for others. I see now that there are years to accomplish many things,(either career or personal ) and even when I feel there isn't, it's not like I haven't at least tried to do what I feel is valid for me instead of others. How I wish I (or my parents....or someone, a counselor, maybe) had known about alternative healing practices like massage, herbs, homeopathy, flower essences, and alternative careers, instead of the usual "talk, talk, talk" of psychotherapy, which does no good unless accompanied by internal, emotional healing. That's where it all starts anyways. It would have cause me so much less anxiety and awful feeling, like feeling overwhelmed all the time, and "what's the use." Thankfully, such overuse of drugs never entered the picture; they hadn't been invented yet! So, thank you Dr. Strande for really saying and pinpointing the truth. I really appreciated it. Dear Dr. Strande,
April 13, 2006 Dear Dr. Strande, Dr. Strande, I just finished writing an email to a friend where I praised your efforts and recommended you for her father who has recently been diagnosed at the age of 53 with cancer. This was the strongest recommendation letter I had ever written and as I did so I thought, perhaps I should send a similar letter to you thanking you for allowing me to give such a recommendation. I can do so because I have seen your treatments work directly not once but twice. You healed my boyfriend of many ailments, but most significantly his bi-polar in three months where doctors weren’t able to do anything for him in 10 years. As for me, I wanted to let you know that I just today received word that what you and I have been working on worked!!! As you know, I am a relatively young, healthy (in appearance) woman. However, my insides were not happy. For 10 years I have had pre-cancerous cells in my cervix due to human papilloma virus (HPV). A number of years ago the doctors removed them with laser, only to have them come back. They did not want to laser again because that would inhibit my chances of having children. My Aunt had the same thing and at 29 had to have a full hysterectomy. Since I haven’t yet had my children I surely did not want that to occur. A year ago, the news became worse, they did a test to determine the chances of my pre-cancerous cells turning cancerous and it came back as almost a certainty. I brushed it aside as there wasn’t much the doctors could offer in the way of a solution. After you were successful with my boyfriend I thought I would ask if you could help me, you were emphatic that you could. And so I started taking the herbs and the pills. I started seeing you the first or second week of February, can’t recall which. On the 22nd of March I had a biopsy and other related tests to see where the cancer was at. I just got notice back, the cancer is gone!!! I have had this for ten years with no break, no hope and a month with you, it is gone. I have done nothing different but take your herbs. In fact I have stopped taking anything prescribed or over the counter for any ailments. From now on you look after me. Not only is it gone but I feel so much better, everything I put in my body is natural. I have more energy and lots of hope for the future. My boyfriend and I are the biggest skeptics, him a little more than me but we gave it a shot and the proof is there. If any of your clients or perspective clients want to talk to me they can. I have an undergraduate and a law degree and am, I believe, relatively intelligent so I don’t go on blind faith. A person has to prove themselves to me and you did. Thank you for everything. Kind regards, HK Dear Dr. Strande, First, I would like to thank you and Allison your assistant for helping me in getting thru the illness I had and also for being interested improving people’s lives. Conventional Medical doctors simply don't have the tools to work with, only what the FDA gives them; crap pharmaceuticals, and they are too busy to care and too quick to prescribe anti-depressants to people. Well, the list of symptoms I had before I started your protocol: Basically depression, major anxiety and panic symptoms, trouble sleeping, trouble breathing, feeling lost, confused, chronic fatigue, blurry vision, pain and numbness in my chest, head and body, shaking and tingling all over and heart palpitations. No matter what I tried, I still felt very, very sick and had no one to turn to. So I spoke to you on the phone since I live in Canada and could not come to see you. Nevertheless, you gave me hope. So I started taking the herbs and the supplements and within a week I had a lot more energy to move and do things. You told me that it would take 3 months to get me well again. I was not complying 100% to your protocol, only about 40% mainly because I had a girlfriend that was not supportive at all and gave me a hard time for spending the money on my well-being. I even had to hide the herbs when she was around or else she would give me hell. I was between a rock and a hard place, so we broke up shortly after. I cared about her but my health situation was much too difficult to explain to her. Nevertheless, it took just over 3 months and I was feeling well again. I have mentioned you to a few people and will always remember that you helped me. Thanks again! John P.
February 17, 2006 Dear Dr. Strande, My mother and I just wanted to say “thank you” for all of your help. My mother was diagnosed with ALS in 2002 and none of her regular doctors or neurologists were very helpful in trying to find treatments or to fight this terrible disease. In May of 2005, I found your web site while searching some information for ALS treatments. My mother began your protocol in June 2005. It has been about 8 months and she is doing very well. Her breathing is normal again and the stiffness that she was experiencing in her left pinky is gone. She is sleeping better and waking up feeling more energetic, less stiff and in much less pain than before. She is walking well and still leads a pretty normal routine. Her right arm has experienced improvement. It was difficult for her to get through the protocols in the beginning but through your help and Allison’s, she persevered and is doing great. I am very grateful that you have these treatments available for patients with ALS. The doctors and specialist that we usually turn to had offered no help or hope for us. You have given us both, and we are extremely grateful for that. I would recommend your services to other individuals. My mother is full of energy and experiences much less cramping and stiffness. We thank you again and hope to continue on this path of healing. Sincerely, Dear Dr. Strande, (medical diagnosis: bronchiactisis) Dear Dr. Strande, Wishing you joy and happiness for this Christmas and a most blessed New Year! Much appreciation for bringing back my health after trying for years. I can now breathe better, feeling stronger, having more stamina. All measurable improvements from one year ago when I first came to see you. Most of all, I have been free of prednisone for over one year. I cherish very much what I thought was lost for good – my health and well being. I look forward to continuing improvements with your help. May God bless you and your practice. Sincerely, Mrs. C Dear Dr. Strande, Allison and Scott, We wish you the best at this holiday season. May God bless your families and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all one of a kind people. Keep on being such great people and a wonderful doctor. A big hug from, Mrs. R. and family Dear Dr. Strande: You've done it! I declare myself cured! I feel better than I have in 3 years and finally have enough energy and fortitude to make it throughout the day without resorting to naps and caffeine. I sleep through the night every night, can exercise without three days of recovery time (or even one), have no arthritic symptoms, no neck, shoulder or head pain, I am no longer grouchy and my chronic yeast infections have gone away. Also my ADD symptoms have vanished. I am so incredibly appreciative and grateful for your knowledge, patience and experience. There is no way on God's green earth that I could have come this far in my recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome if it had not been for you. My family doesn't really know or understand how truly awful my body and mind felt - but you did and provided the means for health. I hope that you continue to help others as you have helped me and that you, along with your family, friends and office workers, have an incredibly blessed Christmas and New Year. With undeniable gratefulness, Mrs. R P.S. I'm sorry about the e-mail. I meant to send a regular letter, but I hosted 37 people for Thanksgiving and several family members throughout the following weekend. See, I told you I am better - it couldn't have been done before now!! I am originally from Hungary and currently I live in North Carolina. My family, in particular my Dad is still in Hungary. Due to more than 30 years of heavy smoking he developed emphysema, and it was necessary to put him on oxygen, which he had to breath at least 15 hours a day. As a result, his daily activities were also severely limited and he became quite depressed. Worst of all, at a regular chest X-ray a suspicious, pre-cancerous spot was found on his lung -- the docs told him to come back for another X-ray in 3 weeks, and if the spot were still there they would start him on chemotherapy. At that point, after a phone consultation with Dr. Strande, which I described my father's symptoms in detail, Dr Strande sent him herbs and amino-acids. After being on them for only about 2 weeks his need for oxygen decreased by about 30%, his mood drastically improved, and so did his ability to move about. Most importantly, when he went back for a checkup X-ray, the spot on his lungs was simply gone! G.P. When I visited Dr. Strande in early June, 2005, I had a very bad case of psoriasis and vitiligo. My dermatologist had tried several treatments and basically gave up. I discovered Simply Healing through a cousin of mine and I thought I would give it a try, because by then I was very depressed and had no hope. Everything I read on the web said psoriasis had no cure. I had given up on vitiligo a long time ago. Dr. Strande was very confident that he could treat psoriasis. As one who grew up with modern medicine, I was very skeptical. The herbs that Dr. Strande prescribed were very bitter and the improvements in the first month were only marginal. The second month showed promise and the third month was nothing short of a miracle. I am now about 90% cured of psoriasis. My wife is happy and so are my children. Psoriasis is psychologically debilitating. You feel like a social pariah. Dr. Strande has given me a new life and I will be forever grateful. A surprising side effect of the natural treatment was its effect on my vitiligo. My hands were completely depigmented in June. About two months of treatment, I found brown spots appearing. In three months the spots are spreading and looks like they may cover the back of my hands. I am very happy. Thank you Dr. Strande. Mr. K, California In early February 2005 I woke up one morning to find that my entire right leg was numb and tingling from my hip to my toes. I had no feeling in my toes at all. The MRI showed early stages of Multiple Sclerosis. A neurologist told me that it was called Transverse Myelitis (inflammation of the spinal cord), which combined with the results of the MRI now put me in a 50% risk category for MS someday. The neurologist wanted to start treating me immediately as if I did have MS; he gave me a list of the interferon drugs used to treat MS and told me to pick one. I was told these drugs only slow down the progression and lessen the severity of future attacks of MS. I did not want to be treated for a disease I do not have at this time but I did not want to take any chances of getting it someday. I immediately changed to a strict vegan diet and started researching alternative treatments. That is how I found Dr. Strande. After 10 days on his treatment of herbs, amino acids, and supplements I had complete feeling back in my foot and my leg was feeling better as well. I have continued for 3 months on his treatment plan. I am putting my faith in Dr. Strande’s treatment because I want to prevent ever being diagnosed with MS. Theresa, Wisconsin
Dear Dr. Strande, Dear Dr. Strande, Thank you for helping me with all my unusual and medically “hopeless” conditions. I’ve been allergic to nuts my whole life to the point where I “died” from anaphylactic shock once, and had to go to the hospital many other times to avoid a similar outcome. Since being on your “unusual, and, let’s just say comically un-tasty” program, I have accidentally eaten nuts twice and had NO reaction. Those two trips alone would have cost about as much as my treatment so far, and would not have healed a thing. So, with that said, I’m totally willing to drink any concoction (I call it bug juice!) you suggest, as I actually - and for the first time in my life - see results. If anyone asks for a reference, I’ll be glad to assist you. Sincerely, Karen C. I have had chronic fatigue for 25 years, depression for 12 years, fibromyalgia for seven years, and other various aches and pains for at least 15 years. I went to many conventional doctors who not only couldn't give most of my ailments a name, but had no ideas of how to help me feel better. Doctor Strande had me feeling better within a few weeks, and had me cured within three months. I am no longer napping in the middle of the day, or walking around like an old, feeble lady. Jamie D. Dear Dr. Strande, Dr. Strande, I was diagnosed as having Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. I had many horrible symptoms such as swelling in my right knee, twitching in 100% of my body, pain in the left side of my chest, night sweats, muscular cramps, general aches throughout my body, frequent urination, high anxiety, and generally poor condition. I was withering away. Knowing medical science had no answers I began to search for alternatives and found Dr. Strande. He was my hope and the answer. I believe the body will itself if given the right nutrients. After several months, my symptoms were eliminated. Dr. Strande was able to provide the herbs and nutrients in therapeutic doses that my body needed to help me feel healthy again. I am working out at the gym again. I want the whole world to know you don’t need to waste away. Thank you so much for your help. Dr. Strande God Bless! Gunther S. Alberta, Canada Dr Stande, Boston, MA My son has suffered from allergies since age 5+, he is now16 years old. He had been on different medications for his allergies for several years. Approximately in June 2003, my son had an allergic reaction to a medication prescribed for allergies (Allegra). He became super hyper and unable to eat or sleep. His pediatrician took him off the drug immediately. He was not taking anything for his allergies. He kept suffering from his allergies for months. I was afraid to give him any other medication. So, I started giving him natural herbs and it seemed to work. In May 2004, my son was diagnosed with ADHD. I felt so sad and hopeless. Not only did he have to deal with his allergies, but he was now an ADHD child. My son's grades started to go from A's to F's. He had no concentration at all. He had lots and lots of energy which was wearing all of us down. I got on the internet and started looking for an alternative medicine doctor. I spent hours and hours on the internet until I found Dr. Strande. Not knowing anything about alternative medicine, Dr. Strande's website gave me the confidence that I needed. I started reading the testimonials and looked at all his credentials. I decided to call and make an appointment in June 2004. I'll never forget the day of our first appointment. My son was constantly moving, talking and acting silly. But, this didn't stop Dr. Strande. He continued examining my son by looking into his eyes and he confirmed that my son had ADHD. He turned to me and assured me that by taking his herbs and supplements in just 6-7 days he could make my son slow down. He followed with these words: "by the end of this summer, you'll have your son back, I promise you". I replied to Dr. Strande, let's start, now! We left his office with lots of herbs and supplements. We were desperately counting the days! We were all surprised and very happy that by taking all the herbs and supplements as prescribed by Dr. Strande, on the 6 th day, my son slowed down as Dr. Strande had promised me. Since then, we keep seeing big accomplishments. His grades in school are going up, again. He started school in August 2004 and by September 21 st; he was the student of the month in his History class. His teacher's comments were: "I wish all my students were like this young man", and presented him with a certificate and a gift. He is enjoying Geometry and Chemistry, subjects he didn't understand before. He has no problems with homework nor does he procrastinate at home. He is well liked by everyone. I, and on behalf of my family, we thank Dr. Strande for all his assistance with my son. We were very fortunate to have found an excellent and knowledgeable doctor as Dr. Strande by surfing on the internet. I also like to thank Allison, Dr. Strande's assistant for being so helpful, too. God bless you both! Mrs. I.M. - October 2004 Los Angeles, CA Dear Dr. Strande, Holly Over the last 5 or 6 years I have felt my general health and well
being Dear Dr. Srande, I wanted to thank you for the assistance you gave me when you treated me several months ago. Unfortunately, due to becoming unemployed, I was unable to continue my treatment. Although it was difficult to stomach the large doses of herbs and other nutrients that are necessary to be effective, I wanted you to know that in the time I took the supplements, my energy was greatly increased, my horrible peri-menopausal symptoms of irregular and heavy bleeding, clotting, and hot flashes completely resolved and have not yet come back. I am very grateful for that. I would gladly refer others to your services and hope at some point to be able to come back and resume treatment. Sincerely, Deborah B. Back in January of last year, I began having some very strange symptoms.
To Huntington Beach, California
Hi Dr. Strande; I am happy to report that my results from the Hepatitis “C” blood work done on 6/07/2004 are as follows; Viral Load HCV RNA - 250,000 Liver Enzymes SGPT 216 Liver Enzymes SGOT 134 The results from the last HCV RNA on 03/02/2004 were as follows; The results from the last Enzyme test on 12/19/2003 were as follows; Obviously the Viral Load went down significantly. This is as a result of the new 24-day program that you had me on. The Enzyme levels are also down over 20%. Thanks for giving me hope and I’ll talk to you at our next appointment. Dan S., California June, 2004 Before I started taking the prescribed herbs I was afraid to continue living, but I was also afraid of dying. I felt trapped in a living hell. I had been addicted to drugs and alcohol for many years and was extremely depressed. I felt suicidal and had anxiety and panic attacks that seem to have been going on for at least the last 5 years. I was experiencing a total mental breakdown. In addition to the mental issues, I was experiencing pain and physical symptoms that were really troublesome. I had constant headaches, insomnia, hot flashes and sweating, a clammy face, a clammy body and had constant diarrhea and flatulence. I was so incredibly restless, constantly tired and did not want to wake up in the morning. Most often, I felt confused and had trouble making the simplest of decisions. I felt paralyzed by guilt over past mistakes and had such a poor self-image that making friends was impossible. Therefore, I was extremely lonely and was convinced that my life was a total failure. I really felt that there was no hope for me. When I found Dr. Strande's website, I was interested because it was something I had not tried, and I had tried a lot of things: all kinds of anti-depressants since 1989, physical activity of sorts, change in eating habits, and numerous self-help programs and books with limited and short-lived results. I am beyond pleased to say that in a few short months after beginning the herbal regimen and following Dr. Strande's other lifestyle recommendations, all of the above mentioned symptoms have faded away. I am amazed at the difference in myself. It is truly astounding. The difference is so pronounced that I feel like a new person. I am enjoying life and do not live in fear of the future at all. In fact I look forward to all of the experiences that I will have. I have really undergone a complete metamorphosis, and today I am a positive person with a full life and many friends. Life is great right now, and I know now that even when things aren't all that great I can handle it and move beyond it. I have been restored and balanced and owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Strande for his expertise and his care through the last few months. He has been instrumental in the change in my life and I can't thank him enough. Sincerely, Lynn My mother died of Alzheimers and my father of Parkinson’s disease and terrible wasting dementia. Since I cared for them for several years, I became acquainted with the symptoms and very aware of the terrible effects of these diseases. A few years ago I noticed some of these symptoms in my life. I also had problems with menopausal symptoms: hormone imbalance, insomnia, anxiety and depression, inability to tackle problems (even little things got overwhelming). I was withdrawing from people for fear of exposing that was I was forgetting everything, I could not recall details and I was burping like my grandma. I was going through what I watched my family members go through. The doctors thought I had Alzheimer’s or a combination of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Knowing medical science had no answers, I began searching - and I found Dr. Strande. He was an answer to my prayers. Thank God! I believe our bodies will heal themselves if given the right nutrients. I no longer have any of the symptoms that I had. Dr. Strande was able to provide the herbs and nutrients in therapeutic dosages that my body needed to help me feel healthy again. Judy
I was diagnosed as having ALS. I tried everything and nothing worked. I am going on seven weeks of naturopathic treatment with Dr. Strande. On my first visit I was very tired, weak, and could not work out. My muscles were weak and I could not do much work of any sort. I am now doing workouts everyday to sweat. The wasting of my muscles has been halted. I couldn’t concentrate at all, now my concentration is excellent. I was depressed and crying everyday, was impatient and irritable. Not anymore. Other symptoms have disappeared such as sighing and yawning, pain in my whole body, being tired all the time, stiffness in joints, headaches, blocked and congested sinuses. I am doing so much better with Dr. Strande’s treatments. I want the whole world to know that you don’t need to waste away. I was really lucky to find Dr. Strande. Tim Smith I just wanted to share with everybody the results of the treatment I’ve been doing since just before Thanksgiving, 2003. About mid-November, I was diagnosed with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). I had multiple symptoms, including dry cough, chest pains, rapid heartbeat, severe shortness of breath, inability to get restful sleep, anxiety and depression. I started immediately on the program of herbs and supplements. I had been using a steroid inhaler, which I stopped after about a week of treatment. My symptoms improved, and while my progress was somewhat up and down to start with, I am now about 99% better, with only occasional shortness of breath. I have a much higher energy level, am able to keep up with my normally very busy life, including all the holiday festivities I enjoy, exercise, travel and work. After I was diagnosed, my greatest fear was that I would not be able to sing in my church Christmas cantata, which I love and have done for the past four years. However, I sang two concerts in mid-December with no problem. I am looking forward to a very healthy new year. Thank you so much for all of your help. Paula B.
Dear Dr. Strande, A few months back I searched the Internet for Naturopaths, and found your website, which indicated that you have more than 20 years experience with naturopathic medicine. At the time I was suffering from Hyperthyroidism and Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). I was very sick for 2 years and was desperate to find a cure, as I had tried everything else and no longer wanted to take conventional medicine. You worked with me for 1 month, sending me herbal extracts and amino acids. I did exactly what you told me to do, and could not continue the treatment as I was unemployed and could no longer afford it.
I can't thank you enough. Today I am a new person, thanks to you. I actually feel very healthy, and wanted to advise you of my success. Rose Mary Santos Dear Dr. Strande, Thanks Dr. Strande, thanks to God and thank goodness for the internet! Judy O. This letter is being written five months since I met you. Today a friend came over and helped me paint my living room. This is something to celebrate! I would not have had the energy to do something like this prior to your treatment. To have my energy back is the greatest Christmas gift I could ask for. Thank you Dr. Strande for helping me and my family. About a year and a half ago I had a car wreck that resulted in a whip lash and a head injury. I received help from a chiropractor, but after about a year I started deteriorating. I went to a local natural health practitioner and she said I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I had classic symptoms of tightness around my head, fuzzy thinking, very low energy, sleep problems, frequent urination, some stiffness upon awakening, and numbness in my right foot. My symptoms would often vary day to day. This started me on the road to seek relief. There were so many directions to go and many dead end streets. My faith has always given me answers so I prayed and meditated for help to find the right direction. My husband is very proficient at researching the internet. He came upon Dr. Strand's web site. We e-mailed him some questions and the next day we called him on the phone. He assured me that he could not only help me get better, but could actually eliminate this terrible disease. He asked me a curious question. He said, "Do you want to get well?" I thought everyone that sought help wanted to get well, but he assured me that there are many people that fall in love with their diseases. I knew I wasn't one of those people. I am an artist and I have so many projects lined up that I won't finish them all if I live to be 100! I also have a husband and a 16 year old daughter that need constant attention. I did want my creative energy back and the ability to live life fully. CFS was robbing me of my energy and my future. We had planned a vacation to California about the same time I met Dr. Strande. I didn't know if I even had the energy to make the trip. He assured me that he could send me some herbs that could help very quickly. After only a week and a half I had enough energy to make the trip. I had an appointment with Dr. Strande and went to his office in California with my husband and daughter. He also started my husband and daughter on an herbal program. He said within 3 months I could expect to be at least 75% better. This proved to be true. My progress wasn't a straight upward climb, but at times one step forward and two backwards. Anyone with this problem has to have patience. He explained that I would start having more good days and fewer bad ones. This too proved to be true. Anyone that does this program needs to be consistent and diligent in following Dr. Strande's instructions. Four months later, I would say I am 95% better. I plan to continue Dr. Strande’s program to achieve complete health, including good nutrition and a daily exercise program. My 16 year old daughter had not started her period, had sleep problems, bad allergies, and was often lethargic. She also had developed an unconscious habit of hair pulling. Dr. Strand put her on liquid herbs and some supplements. She was a typical teen and was not compliant 100% of the time. Even so, her period started four months later, the hair pulling stopped and she had enough energy to get an after school job! My husband (age 48) had open heart surgery about two years ago. He too, takes Dr. Strande’s herbs and he is doing better than ever. He has a very intense job right now and even with 12 hour days he has excellent energy! Dr. Strande, myself and my family truly want to thank you! I pray that God will continue to use you to heal and bless many others as you have us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Fran, Mark, and Teal 12/02/2003 Dear Dr. Strande, Words by pen and paper will never be able to describe how I feel toward the treatment and support that I have received from you and your staff. I was diagnosed with Epstein bar Virus (EBV) over 12 years ago. A few years later in 1997 I was diagnosed as having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. At that time I was told by the medical field that enough information was not available to be able to treat my condition and that I should change my diet and eating habits and get lots of rest. Three doctors later along with many frustrating visits, I was told that I would most likely end up on permanent disability. I was truly discouraged in the medical society that I had put so much trust in to making me well again. I was basically told to go home and get into bed and pull the covers over my head and never come out. But I refused to do this since I was at one time a very energetic person. My CFS progressed to the point that in 2003 I wanted to die. Little did I know that I was now suffering from a case of Post Viral Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I had symptoms of severe debilitating muscle and joint pains along with crippling exhaustion and fatigue. I also suffered from vertigo, continuously swollen lymph nodes, ringing in my ears, hot and cold sweats, neck and shoulder pain, cold hands and or feet, twitching muscles, sharp shooting pains, depression, anxieties, irritability, peeling of the fingertips, lack of concentration as well as many other side affects from my CFS. All of that now has changed thanks to Dr. Strande, I am once again that very energetic person with none of the aforementioned problems. Before I met Dr. Strande, I was not be able to enjoy one day of physical activity with my family without “paying a physical price” which was 4 to 5 days of sleep afterwards. By sticking with Dr. Strande and his program, I was able to completely heal, and now I continue to thrive in wonderful health. What is most important to me is that I have now been able to return to a normal way of life. My quality of life has so much improved that my wife continues to tell everyone that “she has her old husband back”. Dr. Strande really knows what the true meaning of a “Health Care Physician” is! Because of the enthusiasm and pure ability that Dr. Strande has as a healer, I have and will continue to highly recommend him to anyone who has been left behind by our current medical society. Dr. Strande, may you continue to bring relief and hope to those who have looked, but not found a way to cope with life’s medical situations. With much appreciation and Thanks! Paul G.& Family Dr. Strande was an answer to our prayers. My eleven year old son had been diagnosed with Rolandic Focal Epilepsy since he was six years old and in the first grade. The Neurologist put him on medicine, which I decided was more detrimental to him and found a homeopathic M.D. who worked on him for years along with a modified diet. Unfortunately, when he was ten (a few months ago) he started having horrible seizures and his ADD was out of control. He was having up to 21 seizures per day that were very painful and dangerous. The regular medicine that the doctor had prescribed before and had worked, no longer worked and the vitamins, homeopathy and diet didn’t work anymore. I said a prayer and typed in holistic and epilepsy on the internet and there was Dr. Strande’s Simply Healing Clinic. My son also had panic attacks, fatigue, diarrhea, mood swings, ADD, seizures and had a hard time in school. Within three days of taking the herbs prescribed, all of his seizures completely stopped. His moods and other stated problems have significantly improved. He is a well rounded young man who is looking forward to attending his sixth grade science camp soon. I cannot thank Dr. Strande enough for saving my son from these ailments. We tried drugs, Chinese herbs, homeopathic which were good, but did not get the fast and lasting results of Dr. Strande. He knows what he is talking about and we greatly appreciate his vast knowledge. Good health to all who may read this. Nancy L. I want to thank Dr. Strande for my newfound freedom from Lupus, depression, anxieties, pain and fatigue. I have suffered from Lupus since 1998. I was not diagnosed until December 1999 and started treatment with a Rheumatologist in 2000. From then until now I have fought a constant battle with the disease and the medication. I was getting worse and worse and I thought I was dying. On May 5, 2003 a friend called to tell me about Dr. Strande and how he had been treating her daughter for Crohn’s and she was responding so well that she is off all prescribed medication. I was very happy for them, but skeptical for me. I checked out the website one night and the next morning called Dr. Strande. We talked for a very long time and the next morning a package was delivered to my house. I was off all prescribed medication in 6-8 weeks. My energy level increased and the lack of headaches and fever were the first thing I noticed. It has only gotten better since I started treatment with Dr. Strande. Once again thank you for curing my “incurable disease” SLE (Lupus). I have and will continue telling people about Dr. Strande and his knowledge and ability to cure incurable diseases. Sharon L. Sharon L. It’s about time I’m writing this. I am a healthcare professional myself. Before I began working with you I was suffering from a severe allergy to mold. This caused “brain fog”, depression and low energy. My immune system was very weak due to the exposure to mold. I hear of you through a friend and began your protocol. Within days, my depression lifted and I began to feel clearer. After a few months on your supplements and healing herbs, my energy returned and my sense of well-being was restored. Presently, I am maintaining my health with a low dose of your herbs. I feel wonderful! I also have a disease called Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome, which is a neuropathy that is similar to MS that causes severe weakness and deformation of the muscles in the arms and legs. Through following your recommendations of supplements, I am so much improved and received a very positive report from my neurologist in New Mexico. I am very appreciative of your patience and kindness. I can’t imagine where I would be at without our help in restoring my health. Madeline S. Thanks for working together to take care of the effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I am delighted to give you and potential patients a very favorable report on the results of your powerful Naturopathic protocol. First, I think it is very significant that at age 66, and after battling these complex illnesses for fourteen years, you have been able to make so much progress in bringing me back to better health. Before landing on your doorstep, I had pretty much milked the medical profession and much of the “alternative” community for solutions and by the time I met you, I was experiencing an advancing level of Fibromyalgia and a declining quality of life. It is worth noting that after a very productive business life, I was forced into Long Term Disability at age 53 with a sudden onset of CFS and Fibromyalgia. In fairness to the many doctors and practitioners I engaged along the way, each one of them provided increments of forward progress and some symptom management. One doctor in particular kick started the treatment of my major allergies and asthma and prepared me for the “action” you encourage with diet and exercise. Your Naturopathic approach to healing is very appealing because of how you loot at the whole person…. Physically, emotionally and somewhat spiritually. Your protocol of therapeutic doses of liquid herbal extracts, amino acids, shark cartilage, et al., is also very much in sync with my new attitude of healing chronic illness by bringing the body back in balance with mother nature’s products. What really hooked me was beginning to get results, pain and stiffness reduction in the first week; also, the calming of the nervous system and the boost in mental energy and outlook right away. I am now so much better in all aspects including pain, sleep (terrible insomnia for years), anxiety, irritability with noise and traffic, sinus blockage, etc. There are so many prescription medications, especially anti-depressants to which I was intolerant or reactive. I am especially pleased with the good mental boost the herbs provide. It is very important for you patients to know how important is there own participation in recovery. It begins with a positive attitude that this protocol is going to work where others have fallen short or failed. And it is critical to maintain your strict guidelines for diet and exercise. When I eliminated sugar, I not only lost an immediate ten pounds, but gained more energy. You pushed me with power walking when I did not feel capable. I found that small steps lead to long rung good pay off. I am now capable of a pretty vigorous aerobic workout several times a week with the bonus of more oxygenation, more energy, better sleep and mental outlook. As you stated at the outset, your biggest challenge in healing CFS/Fibro comes in the final mile, often with the hormone system (thyroid, adrenals, etc.), which seems to be my case. But the tremendous improvements you have provided me so far give the encouragement to be patient and diligent with the “final mile.” The real bonus in all this is your ability to keep the patient encouraged and moving forward. Through my extensive networking with CFS patients and organizations nationwide, I have concluded that your European/Australian Naturopathic protocol is very unique to North America, probably years ahead of its wider acceptability. It is both preventive and life extending. Thanks especially for your extensive time teaching me the marvels of modern plant medicine and helping me to laugh and smile again. Cordially, Paul M. In July 2000, my daughter Heather was 13 yrs. old and after a ruptured appendix she was diagnosed with the "incurable" Crohn's Disease. She was referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist in Dallas. We experienced 3 horrific years of traditional medical treatments. The prescribed drugs including the dreaded Prednisone and all of their side effects caused as many problems as the disease itself. Heather suffered with Prednisone induced "moon face", diarrhea, continuous low grade fevers, abdominal pain, low back pain, gas, bloating, low energy, irritability, depression, headaches, loss of weight, anger, cessation of menstrual periods, and finally loss of bladder control. In March of 2003, at age of 16, she had stopped reacting to all of the prescribed medications and a colon scope was performed. The results showed that the Crohn's had now spread from the large intestine into the small intestine with 3 fistulas forming. One of the fistula was invading the bladder causing the loss of control. Heather was now unable to attend school. Her doctor told us that Heather's Crohn's was so severe that she could die if the diseased portion of the colon was not surgically removed. We knew that surgery was not a cure; Crohn's can start up again. We knew that surgery was just a step closer for an eventual colostomy bag. That was our greatest fear for our daughter. We felt there was no where to turn, no alternative. We left the hospital that day to consider the future for our daughter and to pray that we would make the right decision. Two days later my sister-in-law faxed us an article she had just read that was written by Dr. Alex Strande "Beating Crohn's and Colitis". We called Dr. Strande that very afternoon and he assured us he could heal our Heather. The very next morning a package arrived with the herbs and natural medicines to begin our new hope. In just 6 weeks of Dr. Strande's treatment I had Heather weaned off all of the prescribed drugs, she had gained 12 pounds, the fistulas were obviously shrinking because her bladder was back to normal, she had no more fevers, and her menstrual cycle had started again. Things were looking good. It is now August 2003, just 5 months since we were told our daughter needed to have a portion of her colon surgically removed. Heather has gained 20 pounds, she is healthy, she is working, she is enjoying being a teenager for the first time. All of her symptoms are gone. Dr. Strande has cured our Heather! I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THE NATURAL MEDICINES HE PUT ON THIS EARTH AND I THANK DR. ALEX STRANDE FOR THE KNOWLEDGE TO USE THEM. I have recommened Dr. Strande to everyone I come in contact with
that is suffering from a disease. He is currently healing a dear friend
of mine that has suffered terribly with Lupus. I sing the praises of
Dr. Strande daily.
Dear Dr. Strande, I just wanted to thank you so very much for your help in making me feel great. I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and basically told by my doctors that I just need to learn to cope and that nothing could be done for it. I couldn't accept that. I found your web site on the internet and was impressed by the success stories and change you had on your patients lives. When I spoke with you and described my symptoms, you immediately understood what I've been going through, which made me feel better right there and then because I found someone who understood my problem. Your treatment has made such a big change in my life. As I began treatment within 2-3 days, I noticed immediately the symptoms I've been having for about 3 years (nervous stomach, cramping, leg pains, lack of energy & sleep, just to name a few) went away. I sleep now, have so much more energy, no cramping, leg pains or nervous stomach. Thank you so much for being understanding and encouraging. That in itself was a big help to me as well as you always making yourself available either by phone or by e-mail when I had questions. You always returned a quick answer, more than I can say about my doctors. Also thanks to your assistant Zeora for also answering questions that I had. Again thank you sooooooo very much. Susan Patton I first met Dr. Strande in August 2000 at a seminar he was giving in Charlotte, NC. After his lecture, he kindly assessed me using iridology. At the time, the only known health condition I had was severe allergies. Dr. Strande told me that his quick evaluation indicated digestion troubles and that I should come see him about it. It was not until February 2001 that I ended up visiting him, but only after a major incident where I found myself in the hospital for 12 days straight with Crohn's Disease. I remembered his prognosis 6 months before and promptly went to visit him, hoping for a much better alternative than the four medications (ranging from immunosuppressive drugs used for cancer with extreme side-effects to high dosages of painkillers and anti-inflammatories) the gastrointerologists wanted to put me on. They said I should expect constant flare-ups and digestive problems that would need to be treated the rest of my life. Dr. Strande, thankfully, said he had a better idea and saw vibrant health in my future. With the help of his herbs, slippery elm/psyllium husks, amino acids, and a healthy diet that avoided gluten and refined products, all of my symptoms and problems are completely gone and have been for nearly 2 and a half years. Before visiting Dr. Strande, I had problems from depression and anxiety to severe allergies (which completely disappeared) and unbearable stomach problems and pains. Sticking with Dr. Strande and his protocol, I was able to completely heal, and now I continue to thrive in wonderful health. This Doctor really knows his stuff. Because of the enthusiasm and pure ability Dr. Strande has as a healer, I am now going to school and studying pre-naturopathic courses to one day follow in his footsteps. Thanks for everything Dr. Strande! Yours in Health, Jim Eubanks I have known Dr. Strande for about six years, when he practiced in Charlotte, North Carolina, and treated my eight year old son for asthma and eczema. My son was under his care for two years and responded very well to Dr. Strande’s natural medications. Since then Dr. Strande has also treated my younger son (who is now six) for hyper energy, my mother for osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and myself for severe burns on the arms, as well as lack of energy and incipient arthritis. Dr. Strande has several sterling qualities which impress themselves upon anyone who seeks treatment under him. First of all, he is very thorough in his diagnosis, taking a holistic view of his patient’s problems and paying special attention to emotional, physical, and dietary factors - unlike conventional medical doctors. He is relentless in his effort to cure you and will not cease in his efforts until completely satisfied. I have also been impressed by the herbs he dispenses. Although bad tasting, they are mixed on the premises either by him or his assistants of the best natural ingredients, and are always very effective. In addition, the other medications dispensed by Dr. Strande are of superior quality, usually not available elsewhere on the market. Finally, I like Dr. Strande’s honesty and sense of humor. He tells you the truth about your situation, and is completely up front. I have great confidence in Dr. Strande’s medical opinions and his treatment and know several others who have been greatly helped by his treatment. Some of these patients have had life-threatening diseases. Dr. Strande left Charlotte, North Carolina, a couple of years ago. I was unable to find another naturopath subsequently, and have been therefore continued to seek his medical help long-distance. Usha S. (Ph.D., History, Columbia University, 1990) Charlotte, NC After having surgery, I was suddenly thrown into menopause. After visiting my medical doctor, she prescribed Premarin, Paxil CR, Ambien, and Xanax. I was scared to death after hearing all the controversy over HRT. And from reading the many side effects that Paxil, Ambien and Xanax could cause, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I consulted Dr. Strande on March 15, 2003 after miraculously stumbling onto his web site. It was truly a blessing. I e-mailed Dr. Strande and asked how could he help me. I was experiencing insomnia, hot flashes and cold, anxiety and panic attacks. He answered me right back and surely enough started me on the right path to recovery. It has truly been a swift road back with the herbs and other nutrients, I can say I’m not experiencing any of the symptoms I had before. The herbs that I take daily nourish and replenish my body so that I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time. My children were having problems with sinus, asthma, being overweight, mentally slow and my youngest had ADD/ADHD and concentration problems. After carefully evaluating both of them, Dr. Strande prescribed the right combination of liquid herbs and they both have no problems with sinus, asthma or any other issues pertaining to mental faculties. Myself and my children are both drug free with no symptoms. If anyone has any doubt about the holistic approach to treat the many ailments that some of us are faced with, I am a witness that it is the way to go. Dr. Stande is truly a blessing to his profession and the world, because believe me, he does care about his patients and he will listen to you. Rosie O. When I first saw Dr. Strande as a patient, I was pretty sick. As a child, I contracted Polio and had discomfort in my legs, which would keep my awake at night. I also suffered from debilitating fatigue, depression, anxieties, migraines, fibromyalgia, and was 30 pounds overweight. After exhausting all other resources, I went to Dr. Strande as a patient, and now I can honestly say that the quality of my life has improved significantly. I no longer have the leg discomfort, the fibromyalgia, depression, anxieties and fatigue is gone, the migraines are under control and I have lost weight. I am glad i persevered with the sometimes awful tasting herbs and all the nutritionals I was given—it was well worth it when I see how my life has changed for the better. Cheryl S. To Whom It May Concern: This is to express my extreme gratitude to Aleksander Strande, N.D., Ph.D, for the holistic health care regimen that he has had me following for the past year! As a result of this plan, I have lost in excess of 30 pounds, while normalizing my blood pressure (110/80—good for a 58 year old diabetic) and achieving a blood sugar level average of 110. I am able to maintain an exercise plan consisting of daily walks and light weights now, while continuing to lose weight. From chronic insomnia, I have gone to between 6 and 8 hours of relaxed sleep per night! This has done wonders for my mental attitude—those herbs really do work!!! Thanks again, Dr. Strande—you're a life saver!!! Ian G. I was over weight, very depressed and my age was overwhelmingly catching up on me. Dr. Aleksander Strande's remedies gave my vitality back like from 10 years ago! My skin looks fabulous, and I am at last at my desired weight. I feel strong enough now. I am an artist and I have tripled my prices to do my murals on ceilings and I can work extensive hours on the scaffoldings! I do not get pains any more—as I used to. I used to be depressed and now I feel motivated and uplifted. Marianne V. I suffered from bladder infections and interstitial cystitis for over 5 years. This condition prevented me from sleeping at night, which made me depressed and anxious. I also suffered chronic pain. I have been seeing Dr. Strande for 8 months, and all of my symptoms are improving. No more bladder infections and my interstitial cystitis is in remission! Dr. Strande is the first person who has given me any type of hope in the past 5 years! Mary F. In July 2002 I came to your clinic very depressed and severely overweight. I am happy to report that within 14 weeks, I have lost 60 pounds, and my depression has completely disappeared. The best part is the weight loss happened with very little effort on my part. Any craving to sugar or carbohydrates completely disappeared almost immediately. I cannot express to you how much happier and healthier I am. I feel like a new person. Because of such a drastic weight loss, you also recommended skin treatment. At 39, it is difficult to lose such a severe amount of weight on not having sagging skin. I am happy to say that my skin looks better now than it ever has! Fine lines, sun damage, broken capillaries and blemishes have been completely eradicated in less than 2 months. My skin looks nearly flawless. I am constantly complimented on my skin quality and people inform me I look so much healthier and younger. Without your treatment, I would have suffered needlessly and my health would have continued to decline. I will be eternally grateful to you for giving me back my health and dignity in such a short period of time. Allison L. 11-19-2002 Several months ago I developed epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in my right arm. I was treated by my primary care physician with medication and cortisone shots. Nothing worked, and he finally said that unless I gave complete rest to the arm, the elbow would never heal. He recommended disability until the arm healed, an unspecified length of time. I sought a second opinion from a specialist who tried various methods of treatment and physical therapy buy ultimately came to the same conclusion as the first doctor—complete rest. I was faced with a no-win choice of loss of income if I went on disability or possible loss of my career if I continued to use the arm, causing permanent damage (I am a writer who uses the computer daily). Fortunately for me, a friend told me about naturopathic healing methods and recommended Dr. Strande. I went to see him and the rest is history! After about 10 weeks of treatment from Dr. Strande, I am completely pain free! He uses only herbs and other natural substances so I never had any side effects from the treatment, and best of all I was able to continue working the entire time. As a plus, Dr. Strande was able to help me with my insomnia, which I had suffered from for several years. I am grateful that there are caring practitioners like Dr. Strande who take the time to treat the whole patient, not just prescribe drugs to treat the symptoms. Carol V. 4-26-2001 Dear Dr. Strande, Kristi and Brandon, I can never thank you enough for the love, care and knowledge given towards my health and well being. You have been so good, kind and special to me. I was sick when I came in to see you Dr. Strande and your knowledge of the body, herbs, vitamins and minerals have been so powerful in helping the body to heal. One day I hope that the insurance companies will see the value in alternative medicine so people can get the help the need to get well. I love you Dr. Strande. You have been such a special, needed part of my life and have given so much of your knowledge to build my body and my life. Thank you so much for helping my chronic fatigue,
diabetes and osteo-arthritis. Chris Ward 2000 Dear Dr. Strande and Kristi, I’m not sure where to start! I feel soooooo much gratitude to you both. We really enjoyed spending time with you guys. Thank you so much for your dinner it was excellent. Thank you is not a strong enough word to express how I/we feel. I am so grateful to you for helping me get my health and life back!! You were an answer to a prayer. God really uses you. What an awesome thing to be a channel God works through. We are grateful too for the opportunity to heal financially. We are really excited to be able to help other people. We are looking forward to being able to live again! Thank you so much for all you have done for us. Thank you for sharing and for believing in us! We are like family so you are stuck with us now!! We love you! Dawn, Barrett and Hannah Dr. Strande, I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for your sincere love and concern for me. I have never felt like just another patient. You have a wonderful way of making me feel valued and important. I truly appreciate this rare gift! And for the first time in 9 year of suffering from fibromyalgia, I am feeling well! Joe and I have great faith in the work that you do and trust you completely! Thanks for being the kind of doctor that every patient dreams of!! All our love and thanks, Denise 3-1-2000 Dr. Strande, Thank you for the work you do. The way you are able to help others to be better and happier with themselves. Hixson Family 7-5-2001 I wanted to send the attached letter to your office, but we did not have your mailing address. I was glad to find your web site and e-mail address over the internet this evening and have decided to send it via e-mail. I hope that the letter expresses our appreciation for what you have done for Holly. We understand the importance of continuing Holly's dietary and exercise regimen. She has made great improvements on 'compliance' in the last few weeks. She is eating well, exercising each day, and sleeping well. She is taking her herbs, etc regularly and adapting well to the once-a-day dosage. This past week has probably the best week she has had, since she fell sick with Lyme’s disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We do not feel that continuing the treatment via telephone is the direction we should go now after you moved to California. We will start to 'wean' her off the herbs and amino acids slowly, as you suggested and assess her health appropriately. Though I do not have the training and expertise that you do, I so have the knowledge of my daughter and I have been studying herbal remedies for the last 2 years and I know quite a lot about it. If we find that we need you again, we will contact you. Please understand my husband and myself. I wish you the best in your new practice in California. Sincerely yours, 1999 This is something that I wrote from heart after visiting you, and when my fibromyalgia has gotten better. Perhaps this will give you a better understanding of me, Love, He Will Make Us As Gold Without sin I am not. 6-14-2001 Dear Dr. Strande: God has blessed me and my family through you! I am genuinely thankful that God brought you into our lives for such a time as this. (A time of healing). Thank you Dr. Strande for sharing your knowledge that God has given you. I pray that you and your family will be blessed richly as you move into another season of your lives. Love eternally, 10-30-2002 Dr. Strande, Thank you so much for seeing us today. Truly it was a very good visit and we are thankful to have met you. I know we would find the answer. Thanks for addressing health from the perspective that you do. Look forward to our next visit. Marion and Rosie S. Thank you. I appreciate your expertise in helping me clear up the following conditions: Improvement of skin conditions: Improvement on diet: Improvement of exercise: Improvement of Auto Immune System: Thank you, Dr. Strande for improving these conditions I have had over the past 16 years in a 3-month period. Michele M. 8-8-2002 Dr. Strande, You have been an instrument of God's goodness and generosity. Thanks to you and your Reiki treatments, my left knees feels much better! Also thanks for the help and inspiration with my skin condition. Randy T. I have to admit, at first I was a little skeptical at your holistic remedies. Since MRI's showed nothing and drugs were not successful. I have suffered from extremely distressing dizzy spells, headaches/migraines, and nausea attacks since being hit in the head with a wave in 1999. They would start with no warning, when I was at work, driving and even in my sleep. This would happen approximately every 2 weeks. Since I have been taking your herbs now, I have not had an episode!!! I greatly appreciate all you have done for me—and I look forward to finally taking those SCUBA lessons!! Now I really understand the words from Alma 46:40—Testament of Jesus Christ: “And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land-but not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God has prepared to remove the cause of disease, to which men were subject by the nature of the climate.” Sincerely, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the dramatic improvement in Joshua's behavior. He has suffered from ADD/ADHD symptoms from the age of 3 until recently at 11 years of age. He had difficulty in focusing and using impulse control, particularly in a classroom setting. Homework was exceptionally challenging and we often both ended up in tears. With only 3 months of treatment, his behavior had changed dramatically. We noticed a huge improvement within only 2 weeks of treatment. We have had teachers, friends and family members notice the difference as well. He is calmer, has a greater ability to focus and his emotional state has improved greatly. In every area, he is a much happier little boy. We were at a loss at where to turn and the only option being offered was to medicate Joshua. We had little success using traditional medication and were reluctant to take such a drastic step on a long term basis. We are so grateful we found your clinic using a natural alternative to ADD/ADHD. Out family life at home is much more peaceful and less time is spent on Joshua's behavioral issues. Our entire family has reaped the rewards of Joshua's treatment. Thanks again. Mrs. Stewart I am writing on behalf of Dr. Strande's amazing ability to provide a successful treatment plan for both my son and I in our conquest to find perfect health. My son, Micah, was born with multiple congenital abnormalities in physical as well as mental functions. My most prominent concern, when I met Dr. Strande, was that Micah was over a year old, no medical doctor in our area could properly diagnose his condition, and my family and I were struggling to remain healthy and sane. Most of Micah's difficulties lay in the fact that his brain was structured significantly differently than the average human being and meeting the basic needs of everyday life was a struggle for him. He could not properly digest any food, he did not sleep more than four hours total throughout the night, he did not make eye contact with any person, and exhibited many self stimulating and autistic related behaviors. After our fist visit with Dr. Strande and the prescription of herbal supplements, I was astonished at the effects. His primary concern was treating Micah's brain dysfunction, but everything else seemed to fall into place. Micah began eating and sleeping normally, and over time his eye contact increased as well as strength overall. His presence became more 'in this world' and reachable through communication. I, on the other hand, had developed problems of my own including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well as chronic yeast infections. But over a few months of treatment and visits with Dr. Strande my conditions were completely eradicated. From this first hand experience, I firmly believe in this alternative treatment and Dr. Strande's wealth of knowledge and professionalism. I am extremely thankful for all of his help. Christie S. 11-24-2002 I’m a 46 year-old male who has struggled with depression, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and fatigue for years. I’ve been on medication for depression since 1991, and additional medication for ADD since about 1996. Despite medication, I’ve continued to struggle with depression. While on medication I’ve seen my weight grow from 165 to 225 pounds. I’ve had an ongoing battle with weight, sugar cravings, irritability, and muscular aches and pains (primarily back and neck, but also knees and wrists). For about the first five years that I was on anti-depressants, I took Prozac alone. By 1996 I was taking 80 mg per day (considered the maximum safe dose), and occasionally taking 100 because the 80 mg wasn’t “doing it.” Contrary to what the doctors and scientists say, I could tell within a few hours if I missed a dose. In 1996 a new psychiatrist switched me from Prozac to a combination of Effexor XR and Welbutrin SR for depression and added Ritalin for ADD. In about 2000, a third psychiatrist increased my dose of Welbutrin, and switched me from Ritalin to Adderall (an amphetamine) for ADD. For those who are curious, my regimen for the past two to three years has been: Effexor XR 300 mg / day This is a lot of medication, but it was what I needed to function. In addition to the meds, I relied heavily on caffeine (diet colas) to get through the day. On one occasion I tried to wean myself off these drugs on my own – the results were fairly disastrous. The improvements I’ve seen under Dr Strande’s
care have been rapid, and dramatic. First treated by Dr Strande on October
11, we cut all three meds in half on October 21. On October 28 we cut
them in half again. On November 4 we discontinued them altogether. For the past several weeks I’ve been losing two to three pounds per week. While my sugar cravings are not completely gone, they are drastically reduced, and I’ve been able to avoid substantially all refined sugar (candy, ice cream, cookies, cakes). I’ve been able to exercise more, and recover from the exercise more quickly. Bob P. 11-20-2002 I am a 44 year old African American. I came to Dr Strande in September 2002. I was very depressed with pain in my knee and arm. I could not sleep at night. Since I started taking Dr Strande's herbs I can say I am 100% better. I have no pain in my arm or knee, |
