Nutritional Therapy
At the Center for Holistic Medicine, we feel that the average American diet is grossly lacking in a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals. Without these essential building blocks the body cannot function properly and can become diseased.

extra weight, hives all the time and my moods were all over the place.
Since I've been working with Karen my hives have
gone away and I no longer have to take medicine to keep them calmed
down, my cravings have decreased and I feel better than I have in a long
time! I went from having hives daily to not having any in months. I'm
cooking more and we no longer eat boxed or frozen meals. I am cooking
food my family likes too! Karen is very caring and knowledgeable." |

Patient Testimonies:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
When I came to see Dr. James and Dr. Sikora in March 2006, I felt sluggish, low energy, and exhausted by early afternoon Memory was poor and my shoulder and neck were very stiff and I experienced loss of mobility. I had severe tendonitis in my left wrist that I took Ibuprofen three times a day.
2. How is it now?
It has been a year that I have been working with Dr. James for my over-all health. Using whole food supplements and changing my diet, I have more energy, memory has improved and I feel good. I am under the care of Dr. Sikora for my neck, shoulders, and left wrist. Through a steady program, I have good mobility in my neck and my shoulders. My wrist is almost pain free.

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I was experiencing bloating, gas, loose bowl movements, and extreme fatigue, especially in the morning. I also was not sleeping well. My gynecologist had recently diagnosed me with severe osteoporosis at age 56 and wanted to put me on medication. I was looking for a natural approach to reverse my bone loss.
2. How is it now?
After completing the purification program, I noticed how much better I felt and that my bowel movements, gas, and bloating had improved. Since I have been taking my needed supplements, I feel improvement every week in my energy level and my quality of sleep. With the metabolic diet I follow, I am never hungry. I have also lost inches and weight with this program.

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I have had Achilles tendonitis so severely that an orthopedic doctor told me I could never take long walks again. Arthritis made getting up out of chairs or bed painful. I groaned a lot!
2. How is it now?
After two weeks in detox, I took an hour hike at Quail Hollow, expecting to be in pain for several days. Surprise! No pain! I’ve been walking almost every day now, no pain in the morning. I feel like I’m getting my life back!
