Testimonials
1. My name is Lori and I’m a 33 year old mother of four who also works full-time. I met Dr. Kellman in 2009 and he truly changed my life. The last six months of 2008 and almost all of 2009 were really rough for me. In the course of about eight months, I had lost four people that were very close to me and I was having some major problems at work. All of those traumatic things happening so close together really took a toll on me. I began having horrible digestive problems, major anxiety, and severe depression. I could barely function physically or emotionally. I was missing work all the time and was basically in a state of darkness. I wasn’t even really able to be much of a mom to my children. I knew I had to do something so that I could work on getting better.
I went to see my family doctor, whom I’d been seeing for the past eight years, and she told me that I needed to have a colonoscopy to determine what was going on with my stomach problems and recommended that I start taking some anti-depressants to deal with the anxiety and depression. While I trusted her judgment, I have always been the type of person to try and overcome things on my own. I have also never been a fan of taking drugs or any kind of medication, so I decided to see if there were any alternatives. I started reviewing homeopathic remedies online and was amazed at how closely the philosophy aligned with my own feelings about health and wellness. After doing some research, I decided to contact Dr. Kellman at Tulsa Naturopathic Group. From the first phone conversation, I was very impressed with Dr. Kellman’s approach and his caring attitude. When I called, he was actually at the airport about to board a flight, yet he still took the time to listen to me and make some recommendations on what I might start doing to help with my problems. I made an appointment to see him once he returned from his trip.
Our first visit was amazing – within about an hour, he completed a health assessment for me and recommended some homeopathic remedies that consisted of vitamins and supplements (basically some probiotic juice and yogurt). Once I left his office, I went straight to the store to pick up the items he’d recommended. Within a couple of weeks, and this is no exaggeration, all of my digestive problems and depression were literally 99% better, if not almost completely gone. I was totally amazed and thrilled. Not only had he saved me from a colonoscopy and anti-depressants, but I also felt better than I had in years. I literally felt more alive from the inside out. My immune system was stronger than ever and my depression had literally vanished. It was amazing to say the least –and it totally surpassed any of my expectations.
The vitamins and supplements I was taking had also helped with my anxiety but I felt like I needed to work on it more. I decided to make another appointment with Dr. Kellman to discuss my anxiety issues a little further. He completed a constitutional homeopathy assessment and recommended a homeopathic remedy that was $8 from the health food store. Within a couple of days of taking the remedy, my anxiety had almost completely subsided. I was more calm and level-headed than I had ever been before. It was like the anxieties just melted away, which I didn’t even think was possible. I’d been an anxious person my whole life so I never expected such amazing results, but I am so thankful for how much better I feel!
Dr. Kellman is an amazing physician who truly cares about his patients and treats them as individuals. He takes the time to answer questions on the phone or even via email. He genuinely wants to help people be in the best possible health and wants people to live well. I can never thank Dr. Kellman enough and I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to explore preventative treatments - he is truly a miracle worker!
2. I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer (DCIS) in October 2009.
I believe that if you want a different result, you have to do something different. I wanted a complete “team” assessing all aspects of my treatment, and I wanted to do everything possible to never hear those words again.
Dr. Kellman was highly recommended to me from a family friend who is a naturopathic student. I was impressed with his qualifications, the fact that he works at the CTCA, and the fact that he is a licensed naturopathic oncologist. Dr. Kellman provided me with a list of supplements to take that are cancer fighters, as well as for other conditions. He also suggested that I have my Vitamin D level checked. That was something my doctor had never checked – and my level was below the minimum when tested.
Shortly after my diagnosis, I changed my nutrition and began taking the supplements Dr. Kellman recommended. In three short months, my triglycerides dropped 121 points (from 209 to 88), and my HDL level (which has always been below the minimum) increased 11 points (from 33 to 44). My doctor was very impressed with these improvements, and I gave all the credit to Dr. Kellman.
Dr. Kellman is now my go-to guy for many of my questions, and I email him often. I trust his opinion. Not all of my doctors understand about naturopaths, so I get to educate them!
