Testimonials

In November of 2020, I was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer. I underwent chemo and radiation for 5 weeks, then a number of surgeries. The last phase was 4 months of intense chemo using a regimen known as FOLFOX. After my first round I was so sick that I felt that I could not continue with the regimen. My oncologist told me that I certainly had the option of not continuing with FOLFOX but my prognosis would not be good. I contacted Dr. Reece and he put me on a regimen of supplements and homeopathy, which made the side effects tolerable so that I could continue with the prescribed 8 treatments. I credit Dr Reece with making it possible to take all 8 treatment and significantly increase my chances of survival. Thank you Dr. Reece!

Naturopathy operates with the idea that a person is an interrelated whole and that health means the optimal functioning of that entirety. As a client and a nurse, I’ve appreciated both the practice and the results of that approach for myself and my family, as well as the absence of adverse side effects. We’ve tested naturopathy in a wide gamut of {physiological} needs, and it has well proven it’s value.

My menopausal symptoms have been mellowed by the use of homeopathic medicines and naturopathic therapies. That phase of a life’s journey requires the wisdom of someone knowledgeable in the natural approaches to a women’s healthcare. For me, Michael Reece, ND prescribed those remedies needed to balance all the changes occurring within my body. All the associated symptoms that most women complain about are simply not a part of my daily life. For the better part of three years as menopausal symptoms appeared, Michael Reece suggested appropriate remedies. Now, in my post menopausal years, I continue the natural appoach. My grandmother was 57-years-old when I was born. I only knew that precious soul in her post menopausal years. She was a delight. My goal is to be that kind of grandmother.

My appreciation of Michael Reece has continued to grow over the many years I have been his patient. His integrity and vast knowledge combined with well-developed listening skills make him an excellent naturopath. I continue to recommend him to friends and those I meet who are interested in alternative health care.
