Testimonials
I originally began seeing Amy back in the end of May. My hope was that through acupuncture treatments I might gain some relief from a “leaky” bladder. I’m 48 years old and am way too young to have surgery for such an issue and I wanted to avoid medication. I was waking up in the mornings and urine would spontaneously leak from my bladder. Combined with severe urges to urinate, the problem was significant. Well, the result has been amazing! I no longer have my leaky bladder, and my overall bladder function has significantly improved! I couldn’t be more pleased. Amy’s ‘intuitive’ and knowledgeable techniques are the perfect combination for healing. My body feels like my own again! Thank you Amy, for answering this great call for your profession and dare I say, ministry.
Best to all who are seeking healing.

Dear Amy-
When I retired 8 months ago, I thought my insomnia and anxiety would retire with me.
Needless to say it didn’t and I was very discouraged.
I started seeing you for Nutrition Response Testing about 2 months ago and am taking the supplements.
I am now sleeping 8-9 hours a night with very few bouts of waking up. And when I do, I usually fall back asleep, which never happened.
I don’t have the anxiety anymore of looking at my bed as the enemy.
And with good sleep, other things have improved – better concentration, less anxiety and an overall feeling of wellness.
Thank you!

My daughter, Amy, introduced me to NRT a hear and a half ago. Amy tested me and was able to evaluate many area of my body that needed help.
I’ve had a chronic low back problem for 7 years previously to being tested and constant bloating. With the back pain, I had many steroid injections plus pain pills and was not satisfied with the results.
I was started on “Standard Process” natural supplements and was feeling better in a couple of months. I moved to Florida for 6 months and Amy found me an NRT Dr. in my Florida area. I started the program in earnest . I have been on the program for a little over a year. I’ve been feeling good. My back pain is under control and I have lost 18 pounds and the bloating is gone. I truly believe in the NRT program. I wish I had known about this, years ago.

Patient Testimonial – April 27, 2015
My body is always in motion – walking, yoga, gardening, landscaping and paddle boarding. So when a debilitating injury to my arm/shoulder/neck made it hard to do any of my favorite things because of the pain, I decided to seek acupuncture treatment.\ After several acupuncture treatments, the pain is almost gone and I can resume all of my activities.
I have also been treated for hot flashes and headaches. Treatments have been successful, reducing both to almost non-existent.
In addition, my sleep is improving and I am committed to making even healthier food choices for both my husband and myself.
Acupuncture has given me an overall sense of balance, health and wellbeing.

How Chinese medicine and acupuncture helps severe peri-menopausal breast pain.
I had my first attack of severe bilateral breast pain in May 2013 at age 51.
My final attack of severe bilateral breast pain was in February 2014 at age 52.
Tests in between included: screening mammogram, diagnostic mammogram on right, ultra sound right, then finally a punch biopsies on the right breast.
The first time I had this horrible breast pain, it turned out to be inflammation followed by infection. It responded to antibiotics once they were started. The next 3 times it behaved like infection, but did not seem to respond to antibiotics
in an acceptable timeframe, so I was referred back to a breast surgeon for treatment options.
Instead of going back to the surgeon who did the breast Biopsy in June of 2013, looking for inflammatory breast cancer,
I asked some women at work. The consensus was to see Dr. Margit Bretzke at the Allina breast center.
Dr. Bretzke studied all my records and suggested these recurrent attacks of breast pain might be hormonally or cyclically induced. I was to keep a diary of cycles and pain and see if there was a correlation. She gave
me a prescription for Keflex just in case I needed it for the next time I had a flare. She said that if it was hormonal, they could treat it with hormones.
At this time my cycles were irregular, but after months of keeping track, there WAS a correlation. I white knuckled through one flare after my visit with Dr. Bretzke, trying not to take the antibiotics to see if it just might NOT be infection
and maybe I could get better without them. Sure enough, around day 10, I started to get better without the antibiotics , just like I did when I was on them, (I would never start to see improvement till around day 8). but going forward, the idea of putting
more hormones in my body to treat this did not make sense to me, and I explored alternatives.
I did my own research and learned that excess estrogen needs to pass through the liver like everything else that gets detoxified, and if your liver is sluggish, the estrogen gets “backed up” and sometimes you end up with more of it in your
bloodstream, which can cause breast pain among other things. The natural solution? Get the liver working better, and move things quickly through the digestive track (so the estrogen cannot be reabsorbed there) .
Who are the experts on liver stagnation? The Chinese!- and acupuncture works for this.
The results were immediate. No more breast pain and no more PMS symptoms of any kind.
Breast symptoms stopped after the first two treatments and have not returned.
Physicians and other health practitioners, if you have other patients with this phenomenon, (breast pain without discoverable pathology) suggest Acupuncture by a qualified licensed acupuncturist trained in Chinese medicine!
No snake oil here, – it works.
Respectfully, Victoria Novitch

A testimonial for my nutrition testing from my 13year old patient!
When I started NRT about a year and a half ago, I was skeptical. I did not think that it would help me get more energy. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grades, and I said about as many words in a year as most kids say in two weeks. This was not a new thing, either. I had always been a shy, quiet kid, but over the course of several years, I started to say less and less. I didn’t have the energy for it. I was tired all the time, and had a headache nearly every day after school.
When I started NRT and started on my first set of daily pills, I started to say more. Around four months later, I was more active, and wearing colors that
weren’t black or dark gray. When I am around people that haven’t seen me in a while, they always remark on how talkative I am. And I am not a talkative kid. I credit all of these remarkable improvements to NRT. Without it, I sincerely doubt that I would be as healthy and happy as I am now. NRT has changed not only my life for the better, but also my family. I think that it was one of the best choices my family has ever made.
