Daily Headaches

I came to see Dr. Joy for the first time last week. I have had a headache almost every day of my life, (49 years). It has been one week since our visit and I have not had a single headache since.After her counseling, suggestions and treatments I have not touched a cigarette. I had been smoking since the age of 16. Thank you Dr. Joy. -Barbara Pulsiano

Candida

Dr. Ostroff saved my life from sever Candida. For the first time in 12 years I am free of chronic yeast and bladder infections!- Marian, Counselor 

Severe Menstrual Irregularity

Since I had my son five years ago, my menstrual cycle has been abnormal. I would spot for 5 days, my regular cycle would last another 5, and I would have a very heavy flow and pain. Western doctors told me I had three options: live with it, get on the pill to control it, or get a hysterectomy.In desperation I found Dr. Ostroff. Through an amazing consultation in which she asked the questions no one else had ever asked, acupuncture, and supplementation, Dr. Ostroff “cured” me within 3 weeks. I had my first normal menstrual cycle in five years. The products she gave me really seemed to work with my body. I could actually feel that I needed them. Dr. Ostroff’s natural healing compliments my healthy lifestyle in a way no western doctor could.- Shelby, Homemaker

Multiple Health Issues

I have [had] only been under treatment for three weeks and have seen the following results: pain in arm gone after first visit, lower back pain gone after therapeutic treatments, left nostril and sinus cleared up, skin on face returned to pinker tone instead of sallow, indigestion gone by using prescribed supplements, bladder feels better (less urgency), very seldom have itchy bumps on skin now, no more bloating. After one month of going to Dr. Ostroff, people have said that I look so much younger than I am. One person thought I was my son’s wife. My son didn’t like that at all.- Beverly, Hairdresser

High Blood Pressure and more...

“I don’t know what else I can do for you-we’ve tried every medication there is for high blood pressure.”This was the pronouncement of my medical doctor a few months ago. I was being treated for hypertension, diabetes, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, arthritis, asthma, allergies and other maladies. I came to Dr. Ostroff in a brain fog of prescription drugs and pain. I had little energy, sleep deprivation and a very busy schedule which contributed to my elevated blood pressure. After only 2 months of treatment I am much more energetic, having more restful sleep, reducing the prescription medications, and my blood pressure is beginning to go down! Dr. Ostroff’s expertise and knowledge of correct supplements and herbal preparations has started a healing process in my body and I have a greater feeling of well-being than I’ve had for a long time. I really appreciate Dr. Ostroff’s positive caring attitude as she ministers to the physical and emotional needs to promote healing. I am ever grateful!- Elizabeth

Digestive Disorder

The first time I came to Dr. Ostroff, I had recently had major surgery followed by three miserable respiratory infections, which were treated with antibiotics by my conventional doctors. My digestive system had basically stopped functioning and after nearly a week of that, I visited Dr. Ostroff on advice of my massage therapist. Dr. Ostroff gave me supplements and after reviewing my diet, which wasn’t too awful, Dr. Ostroff prescribed some remedial formulas to deal with my very imbalanced system.After altering my diet somewhat, taking the remedies and the supplements, my digestive tract sorted itself out. It was remarkable to see how naturally capable this organ is in restoring itself to quality function. But without the advice of an educated, experienced, talented, naturopath (that is Dr. Ostroff) my battered system would not have found its way.Actually, though it may sound melodramatic, I felt better than I had for most of my life. I had felt OK, but after learning from and working with Dr. O I feel really good! Thanks!- Dana, Professional Interior Designer

More Digestive Disorder

In 2003 I traveled to a variety of different countries abroad, including Turkey, Greece, Jordan and Egypt. During my travels I contracted 2 sinus and chest infections and possibly some dysentery. I was medicated with some very strong antibiotics for 2 week. Upon my return I gained 10-15 pounds and was unable to control my weight gain. To top it off I felt horrible and suffered from indigestion after meals. No matter how much I exercised, skipped meals, and dieted, I still felt fatigued and continued to gain weight and became bloated more than ever in my entire life.I went to several doctors and was prescribed antacids and more antibiotic treatment. None of the treatments had a positive effect on my overall health.As an option I decided to try a naturopath and choose Dr. Ostroff. I was very skeptical and reluctant to try something that I did not believe was in the mainstream. Even after arriving at Dr. Ostroff’s office I nearly walked out thinking that natural medicine could [not] actually help me. Dr. Ostroff sat me down and explained her training, treatments, and what to expect. After our discussion, I was still skeptical but willing to try it “just this once.”Within the first 2 treatments I was feeling better and within 4 treatments I was losing a great deal of weight. The bloating subsided and I’ve been feeling better since. With her dieting advice and medical guidance, I have been thinking clearer, feeling better and am still able to eat almost everything I desire. My life and changed dramatically through treatments with Dr. Ostroff.- Anonymous

Fertility

It has been 5 years since the “miracle birth” of my son Max. They say the children grow fast and they weren’t kidding.Las weekend after a full day of family activities, after giving Max his bath and getting him into his pajamas, I turned around to put some things away and when I turned back to tuck him in, he was out. The sand man had done his work for the night on Max. Diana, I looked at this perfect face of what surely is in reality a sleeping angel. I thought to myself of how good life really is and was overcome by this sleeping miracle that has been blessed upon me.Before moving to Hawaii in 1989 (I can’t believe I’ve been here this long), I remember making an appointment to see a renowned internist in Los Angeles to see why I might be having some trouble conceiving a child. I had been trying for a few years without any luck. They could not find anything wrong with my wife that would stop conception. The Doctor told me what 2 additional internists told me here in Hawai’i. They believed I had problems in my reproductive system and that surgery was in order. I remember visiting you. You took the time to basically “calm me down,” working on a kind of stress management and you fed me those specific herbs and vitamins which I still joke about to this day. You gave me something with bovine lips, do you remember? What ever it was it doubled my sperm count and boosted my sex drive about 10x. I’ve just had my second child and she is as precious as Max, a perfect angel.I can’t imagine how many other men went under a knife when it was more than likely unnecessary, men that never had the luck of an experience of meeting up with a person like yourself, a person that understood the basics of medicine as a natural order of things. I wanted to say thank you. Thank you so much, Diana.- Jim

More on Fertility

My sister saw Dr. Ostroff because of fear of losing her fertility to pre-cervical cancer. Laser treatments were unable to stop the cells, but Dr. Ostroff’s treatments were. My sister fully recovered and has had 2 children and no further problems.My best friend had ruptured discs in her spine from an auto accident. She was in pain and afraid to flex her back. After treatments with Dr. Ostroff she was able to do cartwheels and bend-overs.- Sabrina, Law Student

Limb Recovery

I came to see Dr. Ostroff about 4 months ago after being written off by a western doctor. I was very sad, feeling as if I would never be able to use my arm again, even for the simple things like writing or using our new computer. I sit her today writing with ease. I can only say that Dr. Ostroff has been my angel. She guided me through this incredible recovery process with loving care, patience, and incredible knowledge. I am very lucky to know her and I appreciate all that she has done for me. She has given me my life back.- Cameo, Waitress

High Cholesterol, Low Iron, Tired.

"When I began seeing Dr. Diana I was in pretty bad shape internally. My cholesterol was high…I was even rejected by the blood bank to donate blood because my iron was so low. Needless to say I wasn't feeling too good.But through many months of TLC from Dr. Diana and the help of the properly prescribed supplements and lifestyle changes on my part, I am now on the road to living a healthy life. My lab tests showed a dramatic decrease in my total cholesterol and great improvements in my HDL cholesterol levels. I am once again able to donate blood, and needless to say am feeling much better. Thank you Dr. Diana, for teaching me how to take care of myself."- Vicky

Chronic Fatigue

"When I first visited Dr. Ostroff, I was in the midst of a 17-month episode of chronic fatigue, the third such episode in five years. I had a window of about 2 hours each morning where I had enough energy to function and get done the essentials around the house, including preparing the evening meal. By noon, I was exhausted and flat on my back on the sofa. I couldn't walk up a flight of steps without gasping for breath. Sitting was uncomfortable and laying down was painful. My weight was spiraling upward at an alarming rate despite an eating regime nutritionists hailed as a model for all. In short, I was afraid I was going to drop dead of a heart attack. All the specialist physicians had nothing more to offer in the way of conventional medical help.I was already being treated for hypothyroidism. Conventional "pharmaceutical" medicine was not helping the chronic fatigue or weight gain. In fact, I was on so much medication that I was constantly suffering from nausea and diarrhea. I didn't dare leave the house. It was like being on chemotherapy. My desire was to treat my illness with a homeopathic approach. Fortunately, my primary physician was very supportive of my wishes.Dr. Ostroff listened patiently and attentively during my first visit, to my "tale of woe" and then began her exam. Finally, she explained what she felt were the medical issues and how she planned to treat them. Within three weeks of my initial visit, my chronic fatigue was becoming less chronic and within two months, it was gone completely. Little by little my strength and love of life returned. I felt like "my old self" again.Now, not only is the chronic fatigue syndrome gone, but I am also able to take homeopathic medicines for the other existing medical conditions. After 18 months of the homeopathic care, I am healthier than I've been in over 8 years. My primary physician is constantly amazed and pleased with the results of all lab work done and often encourages patients with similar difficulties to take the homeopathic approach to healing.Dr. Ostroff has been a marvelous source of healing, advice and support. There is no doubt whatsoever, that she has a thorough knowledge of alternative medicine. I am so very grateful for all her guidance and support."- Lou

Fatigue, Diarrhea, Nausea.

When I first saw Dr. Ostroff, I was suffering from frequent fatigue, diarrhea, and nausea. For the past 2 years, I saw my medical doctor every 3 or 4 months. While he ruled out any serious conditions, he could not help me to feel better. Over time, these symptoms had gotten progressively worse. My fatigue go so bad that I had difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. During my worst months, I missed at least one day of work each week. I had diarrhea, usually with the fatigue, often several times during a day. This made me reluctant to leave the house because I did not want to be in the car with the urge to move my bowels. Finally, the nauseas naturally affected my appetite. It was another reason I was reluctant to leave the house. While I never vomited, I never knew if the nausea would progress to the point of vomiting. After my first appointment with Dr. Ostroff, I felt 100% better. My energy level increased dramatically. The nausea also subsided. It was reassuring to know what was wrong with me. It was also reassuring that my symptoms were not psychological and physiologically-based. I felt empowered again since I could do things to improve my health. Dr. Ostroff's ability to assess the functioning of various systems/organs of the body, the various supplements and remedies, the acupuncture treatments, and her dietary suggestions are the reasons I am the healthiest I've been in years. It is also the reason my sister-in-law and my mom are patients too! Thank you Dr. Ostroff! - Neal

Diabetic Nurse

It has been a little over 3 months since I began receiving treatment from Dr. Ostroff and not only are my diabetic symptoms non-existent, but my blood sugar levels have decreased by over 200 points! I have also had a tremendous increase in energy, endurance, and strength, which has definitely helped in my ability to care for "Liz" and to carry on my commitment to Mr. E____. My physical injuries I have had to endure during E____ case as well as the normal wear and tear on any nurse's hands, feet and back can make for a lot of pain and discomfort in work, especially when working 12 & 24 hour shifts!!! Thanks to Dr. Ostroff though, through the use of spinal and cranial adjustments and other forms of naturopathic medicine, not only do I continue to receive instant relief upon treatment, but I have been relieved of many old chronic pains and discomforts that I used to take handfuls of "Darvocet" for!Seeking and continuing treatment with Dr. Ostroff has definitely been one of the most worthwhile endeavors that I have taken on. The experience thus far has not only been beneficial but has changed my life. Dr. Ostroff not only is a fine doctor firmly grounded in her knowledge and training, but she is concerned, caring, and compassionate with an excellent "bedside manner". This makes for such a wonderful sense of healing and wellness as well as a strong positive doctor-patient relationship. I believe in her capabilities as a doctor and I trust her completely with my health and well being. I recommend her to everyone. Don't wait -- make an appointment as soon as you can! - Lori

Inner Emotional Strength Discovered

After only one week with Dr. Ostroff, I have made very significant progress. Physically, I feel better overall. My skin is clear and I am sleeping better. I think the biggest breakthroughs have come emotionally. I am learning about my deepest fears and blocks that have held me back. For a long time I have feared that no man will love me the way I need to be loved. I have believed that I had to settle. Or worse, try to be perfect so that the right man will come into my life. Well, I am who I am. I am a strong woman with opinions of her own. While I am now learning to be softer, I realize that being softer does not take away from the strength within me. I also understand that my personal power is leading me in another career direction where I would be my own boss. I plan to use this next year to get healthy for me in every possible way. Now that I've made these emotional breakthroughs, I am working to practice my new beliefs in my daily life. Love will find me when it is time. I'm no longer waiting for it. I'd rather live my life each day. - Anonymous

Infected with Parasites

When I came to Dr. Diana, I was very sick with parasites. I have been to multiple specialists who couldn't tell me what was wrong. I had suffered from constant pain in my side and constant low energy, hunger and sickness for over a year with no improvement, in fact, things were getting worse. When I cam here, Dr. Diana had me work on my diet and helped me expel the parasites. Since then I have had no further sicknesses that even come close. I have not gotten sick at all, really. I have begun to pay more attention to my body and its reactions to food and exercise and have been able to decipher what works for me. I feel that Dr. Diana has shown me the way towards perfect health. Now all I have to do is commit to that. Thank you! - Anonymous
