Roberta - "I was treated as a person rather than an illness"

"My name is Roberta. In November of 2007 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I did not want to follow the conventional path of treatment offered, therefore, my husband and I began internet research to find cancer treatment options. That is how we discovered IPT treatment and Linchitz Medical Wellness PLLC (LinchitzWellness.com). We contacted Dr. Linchitz by e-mail and he responded immediately and an appointment was arranged. During this first meeting, questions were encouraged and answered in detail, and the method of treatment was fully explained. We were spoken to as equals and found that we would be involved in all treatment decisions. It was the first positive and hopeful experience since my diagnosis. Treatment started immediately in January 2008, and positive results were seen within 4 to 6 weeks. At this point the mass was hard to locate. After 3 months of treatment, laser surgery was performed to remove remaining tissue and pathology found the tissue to be cancer free. Treatment was continued twice a month, and then once a month until November 2008 and was successful. I now receive scans periodically to monitor my situation.

During my treatments with this gentler but very potent form of chemotherapy, I was was never sick and did not experience any side effects such as nausea, tiredness, hair loss or low blood counts. I was able to fly to and from NY on my own, on a weekly basis for treatments. Everyone at the Wellness Centre was helpful, caring and professional. During treatment I was monitored carefully and always felt comfortable. I was treated as a person rather than an illness. The other patients often spoke to each other sharing stories and information and their families felt supported and comfortable

My family feels very fortunate to have found IPT therapy and the Linchitz Medical Wellness Centre. Their program initiated by Dr. Linchitz, joined by Dr. Dashiff, Dr. Newman, and supported by their dedicated staff, paved the road to my recovery."

Martin - "I am most satisfied with the care provided by Dr. Linchitz and his dedicated staff."

My name is Martin and I am a patient of Dr. Linchitz.

I became acquainted with Dr. Linchitz in February 2008 when I began experiencing symptoms of a disease which was later identified as diabetes type 2. I was unable to sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time while also experiencing anxiety attacks which left me short of energy or desire to partake daily activities. Only seeing a worsening of my outlook, I called Dr. Linchitz office. My appointment was arranged that very afternoon due to a last minute cancellation.

The approximately two hour exam took place by Dr. Linchitz accompanied by his associate Dr. Dashiff. The exam consisted of rather detailed gathering of information regarding my medical and personal history as well as a physical exam. Other than an elevated reading of my blood pressure there was no notable physical condition aside from an expanding waist line. Arrangements were made for me to come in the next day to have blood drawn for a battery of tests that would reveal my diabetic condition. I was put on a strict diet patterned after one similar to that eaten by man during the Paleolithic period. My diet consisted of organic low fat protein sources of meat or fish at every meal as well as a great deal of fruits and vegetable eaten as close to their raw state as possible. Also included were amounts of raw seeds and nuts. This diet is sometimes referred to as that of the hunter gatherer beings that predominated at that time. My weight loss was consistent, averaging above one pound per week. I also began an exercise program working my way up to walking five of six miles about four of five days a week.

The blood test revealed the blood sugar level in the diabetic range, which Dr. Linchitz referred to as a nasty disease. He put me on a number of natural supplements for diabetes as well and one for relief of discomfort in my digestive system which he diagnosed as acid reflux.

Improvement in my condition during this past year included weight loss of over 35 pounds and a reduction of over seven inches off my waist as well as achieving blood pressure in the normal range. My blood glucose level is down from above 100 to a normal 84 and my state of wellbeing has returned the missing positive feelings to my life. I am presently finishing up a series of infusions known as Chelation therapy. The series of infusions have reduced elevated levels of toxic metals (primary mercury and lead) in my body. This reduction is most likely responsible for a portion of the reduction of my symptoms.

I am most satisfied with the care provided by Dr. Linchitz and his dedicated staff.
