“After two years of struggling with the after effects of increasingly potent drugs prescribed by my family doctor, and following what seemed an unending battle with recurring urinary tract infections, I wondered if at 59 my best years were behind me. Healthy and active throughout my life until then, I was frightened and depressed. My sister’s gift of a first visit to Dr. Toms turned everything around. Under Dr. Tom’s care my recovery has been extraordinary. I now feel healthy and vibrant and in full control of my own wellness (with an occasional friendly tune-up from Dr. Tom.” -Dot

“When my doctor prescribed Plavacil for rheumatoid arthritis and Lipator for high cholesterol, I knew it was time to meet a certain Naturopath I had heard of. After working with Dr. Tom for a year and a half, my pain and inflammation were gone. He gave me remedies and supplements and made some changes in my diet. All along he listened to me so I became a partner in the process during which I learned what I needed to know to keep myself healthy. Dr. Tom took me off a path to increasing ill health and medication. I am a very active and grateful 64 year old.” -Martha
