An older, active woman came to me with thin, fine hair falling out, who also had low energy and had been literally dragging herself around for the past 20 years. Despite the "normal" thyroid function tests obtained by her physician using the ELISA technique, which is the current standard of care, I was able to determine that she was clinically hypothyroid. She responded to supplements plus a natural form of Thyroid medication with a reduction in her hair loss, some hair growth, and a great increase in her energy.

A patient sent to me by his neurologist for a severe and unusual form of facial rash. Treatment with specific forms of B vitamins and essential fatty acids not only improved his face, but also improved a rare neurologic condition which was making it harder for him to balance when walking or standing, or use his hands and fingers.

Numerous patients with conditions of dry, scaly skin not fully controlled by lotions and creams improved by balancing their Essential Fatty Acid intake.

A patient with a rare itching disorder located below his shoulder blades, with no visible rash, known as "notalgia paresthetica", improved on a program of diet and supplements.

Many patients with severe dandruff (Seborrheic Dermatitis) responding to dietary changes plus shampoos.

A recently graduated hairdresser who broke out at work was found to be allergic to one type of permanent wave chemical but not the other, and was able to go back to work in a cleaner shop which did not use the offending chemical.

A patient with such a high "eosinophil count" in her blood test that some doctors worried about leukemia, was found to have amoebic parasites growing in her intestines which caused the problem seen in her blood. Treatment improved the situation.

A patient who had been on methotrexate for her psoriasis, was willing to follow the diet and treatment plan for long enough to get as good a result with just diet and skin medications as she had gotten with the potentially life threatening methotrexate.

"Dr. Dattner is an extremely gifted physician who helped me recover from a painful and disfiguring skin disorder which was misdiagnosed  and exacerbated by the use of hydrocortisone ointments over the course of eight months following oral surgery.   When I first met with Dr. Dattner, the bleeding, shredding and breaking of fissures in my lips, in addition to swelling from inflammation, was so extreme that I had to wear a surgical mask.  Dr. Dattner was able to identify and treat holisticially the autoimmune damage from which I suffered. Dramatic improvement occurred within days where I no longer needed to cover my face outside. Sleep was finally possible due to reduction of pain and inflammation.

Progress steadily continued due to Dr. Dattner's extraordinary attentiveness and care. With gratitude and appreciation, I have only the highest recommendation for Dr. Dattner." -MK, New York

"I just want to thank you for the all you did for me. I'm totally healed. no bumps or lumps on my face. You did magic. My skin feels and looks so much better all over even on my body. You are an amazing doctor, thank you for saving me! I've received amazing results from your treatment. I have been clear of rosacea, perioral dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and the stubborn itchiness that I was affected with at different times of the month. Since then my face has been cleared up, and I have absolutely no trace of any skin condition. Thank you so much for spending your time and energy to heal me. I'm very grateful." -MP, New York

"Dear Dr Dattner,

I wanted to take the time to thank you for your herbal remedy to fight my severe acne condition.  After my visit with you on December 7th, 2004, I tried your herbal remedy, and I have seen a tremendous improvement in my skin.  I had a lot of breakouts particularly on my nose, one of the most visible areas on the face on a weekly basis.  Now, thank God, my face has cleared up tremendously, and I feel much happier.  Anyone who has battled acne for years can identify, I had stress and the acne gave me even more stress. You are the answer to my prayers.  In the past I have tried many different remedies, going to other dermatologists who only prescribed antibiotics, which can be a health hazard over a period of time.  I feel so much safer taking herbal remedies.  Thank-you again and God Bless You." - JoC, New York"

"After decades of struggling with fatigue, colds, and muscle ache, I can finally say I have my life back. I came to see Dr. Dattner after seeking treatment from a dermatologist for a condition called pityriasis rosea, a skin condition, which appears as red welts and is very itchy.  A dermatologist tested me for allergies and other conditions and told me there was nothing to do except wait it out since this condition never reoccurs and never goes beyond 6-8 weeks in duration.  In my case, nine months later, neither applied and I was miserable. 

Under the care of Dr. Dattner within 3 weeks I was welt and itch free.  We worked on diet, skin care, and the use of supplements.  As time went on Dr. Dattner helped address other health issues I was experiencing for years.   This included, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, gastritis, constipation and acid reflux.  It is one year since I began treatment with Dr. Dattner.  Because treatment has been so successful I am now working once again outside the home.  Even better yet I have eliminated naps, which was vital to my daily functioning.  And yes there are other benefits to be had too; I have escaped colds and flu through the winter season without an annual flu vaccine." -BV, New York

"Dear Dr. Dattner,

I'm feeling well these days--stomach is better, no skin eruptions for the moment. I will be in touch if there's any re-occurrence of the skin problems. Thanks for everything. All best, GB, New York "

"I used to have heartburn.  I awoke with pain or had pain in the abdomen 2-3 times per day.  Dr Dattner suggested that I take a particular herb, and I haven’t had abdominal pain since I began taking it." -EL, New York
