“Over the past few years I had gained 40 pounds and felt
progressively sicker as I tried every weight loss plan and went from one
doctor to another without any real answers for my weight gain,
fatigue, migraines and joint pains. Dr. MacDonnell helped me to
understand how many of my health issues were due to food allergies and
toxicity. Lab tests and an elimination diet showed I had a severe
gluten allergy as well as sensitivities to many other foods. Within
three weeks on her detoxification plan I lost 12 pounds and my
migraines, fatigue and joint pain disappeared. I wake up now full of
energy and I feel (and look) better than I have in years.”
“NCHC is what I had been searching for – a medical practice
that combines top notch medical care with the best of the natural
methods out there. I was tired of being given “a pill for every ill.” I
was thrilled to find that although Dr. MacDonnell and Jackie are
licensed to write for drugs, that isn’t where they start. They look at
me as a whole person and offer remedies such as nutrition, herbs and
acupuncture that work with my body, not against it. I feel so grateful
to have found these gifted and caring people.”
“When I came to NCHC I was on seven different medications –
for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression and
chronic low back pain. I was 30 pounds overweight and felt broken down
and tired. I felt hopeless that I would ever feel well again. Every
doctor I went to added another pill. That was two years ago and I can
honestly say Dr. MacDonnell has given me my life back. My weight is
down, my cholesterol is normal, I am no longer diabetic, my mood and
energy are through the roof – all without medications. ”
“I am so thrilled with North Country’s Anti Aging Program. I
was suffering through menopause with weight gain, fatigue, hot flashes,
depression, thinning hair and dry, wrinkled skin. The balance I
achieved has been a miracle – I look and feel 20 years younger!”
“For years I had wanted to try natural medicine for my high
blood pressure and diabetes but I was confused by all the products,
information and claims I heard about. I asked my doctor but he said he
didn’t know anything about alternative medicine and that I could expect
to be on my medication for the rest of my life. I was thrilled to find a
doctor who was willing to listen and who had the skills to help me come
off my medicines safely.”
