Redness Gone, Bumps Reduced

I became a patient here back in 1999. From an overall point of view, my feelings towards Dr. Karl Johnson and his practice has always been that he is creative and flexible. A particular experience with Dr. Johnson that made me very happy was regarding the time when I had a swollen knee with bumps. The bumps were very red and were the size of a baseball/softball. Dr. Johnson recommended Cat' s Claw Complex Tabletstm from MediHerb. In only three to four days, the redness began to improve. Then, within a week, the redness was gone and the internal bumps shrunk to a much smaller size! Thank- you Dr. Johnson and staff. You have all been a great help.

Dr. Johnson Made Sure That I Didn’t Wait Until It Was Too Late

I started coming to Dr. Johnson after my neighbor had told me how she had a lump on her breast. Dr. Johnson was able to give her supplements and it went away before her surgery was even scheduled! I had 9 bad mammograms myself. The Doctors were going to keep an eye on things and probably watch it grow into cancer. I did not want to take this chance since my mother had passed away from breast cancer. I felt extremely exhausted all of the time. I later found out that my adrenal glands were not functioning properly. Dr. Johnson has fixed me up since then. I never want to feel as bad as I did! Thanks to Dr. Johnson, I feel great! Thanks Dr. Johnson!

No More Allergies, Sinus Problems or Stomach Problems, Discharge, Skin Problems or Depression!

Dr. Johnson, One day in December of 2006 I was leaving my doctors office feeling very depressed and sad because after many office visits and may test I was told there was nothing else they could do to help me and I would have to live with these problems. I was parked at the light at Van Dyke and saw a sign that said Nutritionist. I thought ok, well why not! I walked into this bright and cheerful office with everyone wanting to help me and I was astounded. I made my first appointment and the rest is history! I would also like to add that I had a terrible discharge that the doctor said could not be helped except to go to a teaching hospital and see if there was someone who was working on this problem that could help me. I have no discharge since coming to see Dr. Johnson. My skin problems have also cleared up. So it is now six months later and I am a happy healthy person with no more allergies or sinus problems or stomach problems. I am not depressed and feel every day is a great day. At 76 years old I did not think this was possible. Each day is a new day. Thanks to Dr. Johnson and his staff for without them I don't know where I would be today. My life has totally turned around and again I say thank you to all of you.

Nutrition Works

For quite a while whenever I ate, I felt sick, nauseous in my stomach. Although I didn’t throw up, I felt like I could. Even when I ate good, healthy food, I would be belching and feel gaseous throughout my system. My stomach even felt swollen. I asked Dr. Johnson about it, he checked me with Contract Reflex Analysis (CRA) and confirmed it. He recommended a program that consisted of raw beets for six weeks, no dairy or wheat, supplements, and the Blood Type Diet. Within two weeks, I was 75% better. I couldn’t believe how much better I felt. I’m telling everybody about it. I never would have believed it if it hadn’t happened to me. I realize how important it is to be educated by Dr. Johnson. Thanks, Dr. J.

Supplements Saved My LIfe

This past fall I was in the hospital for ten days for congestive heart failure. I had been taking water pills and they brought on an attack of gout. I couldn’t walk or put weight on my foot for six weeks. I got a new MD who checked my blood levels — my uric acid level was high. My foot swelled to the point where my skin peeled off. So I was sent to the hospital. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and taken off my supplements. The second and third days in the hospital I gained 10 pounds each day. Fortunately, the extra weight was water and came off before I left the hospital. When I got home, my chest hurt. So I started taking my supplements. Even my extremities got cold, ice cold, from bad circulation. But after three days on my supplements everything was ok. I’m doing much better now. I’m still on oxygen and need a walker. I can’t drive yet and have a visiting nurse come in to help me. When I was so sick, I couldn’t even load the dishwasher. Since getting back on my supplements, now I can. What a difference the supplements make! I wouldn’t be here without them. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, too for all your help over the years.

Colds Get Zapped

I normally get several colds in the fall and winter months. When catching a cold, generally I will be coughing for at least a month afterward. At my next appointment with Dr. Johnson, I told him how I was feeling and he suggested that I take Standard Process® Antronex® and Systemic Formulas Vivi (after testing me to see what my body needed). I took the Vivi in the morning and at night and the Antronex® every two hours. In 24 hours I was all better. What a relief. Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

Augmenting Medical Cancer Treatment with Nutritional Support to Good Outcome

Dr. Johnson and staff, My name is Gina Sikon. I am 44 years young and have been a steady patient of yours for about 3 months now. About 4 years ago, a mutual church member told me about you and the wonderful things you do for his health. I was skeptical at first because I did not understand what you did. When I was diagnosed with Advanced Stage Breast Cancer, I thought it was the end for me, but after careful research and treatments, I realized the outcome of the cancer was up to me. I took charge of my eating habits, came to see you for nutrition and CRA and maintained a positive attitude. The supplements that you have me on have increased my healing and energy after completing the chemo and radiation. I attribute your expertise to my healing so fast from the fatigue caused by chemo and radiation. Just last weekend, I was out painting my picket fence and cleaning out my shed. I am confident that your services will help me overcome my surgery challenges as well. I recommend that anyone being treated for cancer get treatment from you along with the oncology team. Thank you for my wellness. I am celebrating life.

Dropped 2 Dress Sizes, Increased Energy, No Hunger with Personalized Nutrition Program

Dr. Johnson put me on several supplements and recommended that I follow the Blood Type Diet for my A type blood. I got the book and decided to comply. I love it! It’s perfect for me. I don’t struggle, don’t feel hungry, and I’m losing weight. I’m already down two dress sizes and my clothes are getting loose again. I usually snack on little things like carrot sticks, peanuts, raisins, soy chips (organic), blueberries, blackberries, broccoli, and peanut butter and celery. My endometriosis is better. I used to be in lots of pain during the daytime. Now it’s much better. And my periods are getting less painful and easier. My energy levels are up. I used to fall asleep anywhere, but now I have more energy. My cravings have decreased. Recently we went to Mackinaw Island. I love their fudge, but I didn’t want any. I did bring some home for my son and I didn’t want any of that. I haven’t had any problem with no meat. I eat chicken and salmon a lot. I’m really impressed with everything. I feel fifty times better and I’m exercising — doing more bike riding and walking the dog. I can’t believe how much better I feel! Thanks, Dr. J. Wendy Mann, Sterling Heights, MI Cholesterol and Triglycerides Lowered with Nutrition Program Last spring I had a bad report on my blood test. My medical doctor wanted to put me on Zocor and I told her, “over my dead body!” She agreed to let me try fish oil and see what happens. This week I got my new report back. Wow! Was she ever surprised! These changes are a result of taking 2 teaspoons of Carlson’s Lemon-Flavored Fish Oil and making no changes in my diet. March 31 July 12 Cholesterol 222 160 Triglycerides 274 95 LDL (the bad stuff) 117 88 HDL (the good stuff) 50 53 These new scores are excellent and no one is even mentioning “statin” drugs to me. Thanks, Dr. J, for getting me on the right path.

Insomnia and Exhausted Adrenals Improving

I knew I needed help when I was in my closet getting dressed and was holding on to the clothes bar wondering how I was going to even get through another day. Sleep was a luxury. I hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep in I don’t know how long. A couple of my friends have seen Dr. Johnson and recommended him. At my first appointment, Dr. Johnson told me my adrenals were completely shot!! He was very concerned. Instead of waiting for the written report and then advising me, he started me on my supplements right away. In only three days I was sleeping!! I had to call the office and tell them, “I slept though the night for the first time in forever. I don’t know what these pills are doing, but I can’t wait to see what else they can do! It’s unbelievable, awesome! I feel so good!” I know I’m on my way to being healthy and I know it will take time, but it’s worth it. Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

Eczema, Low Energy and Food Allergies Taken Care of With NAET, Personalized Nutrition and Diet Changes

When I came to Dr. Johnson last fall, I had eczema on both hands and both lower legs. I had had it mostly in the winter since 2000 and it moved around. In 2003 it began to be all year. I also suffered from low energy, was tired all the time even though I got enough sleep. If that wasn’t enough, when I ate certain foods, I would get red spots all over my face. Dr. Johnson put me on several supplements and did allergy elimination treatments. I’m happy to say that as of last month my eczema is gone! Also, I’m more energetic and can do work around the house. This is wonderful for me. Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

Rash Helped with Special Product

Recently my husband was out in the sun and, when he came in, he noticed blister-type spots on his arms. They became itchy and nothing seemed to help. He told Dr. Johnson about it and Dr. Johnson recommended that he put Standard Process USF Ointment® on the rash. My husband did and now the spots are going away. I had been having trouble with a bite on my leg that was very itchy. Dr. Johnson recommended that I do the same with the USF Ointment®. Now the itching is gone and the bite is clearing up. Thanks, Dr. J.

Teeth Were Turning Black - Now White

Two years ago I had lap band surgery to lose weight. The band helped me lose the weight but soon my teeth started turning black. The dental hygienist told me I had a nutritional deficiency. Since I work with the public in the entertainment field a lot, this was unacceptable. I had heard about Dr. Johnson and decided to give him a try. He checked me out and recommended several supplements. They worked! My teeth are now white. I had my check up a few days ago and my dental hygienist told me that all the black was gone and my teeth are now in good health. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Chronic Ear & Respiratory Infections - Even After Ear Tubes - GONE

My daughter Grace has suffered from ear infections since she was born 21 months ago. She was on antibiotics every month and had had tubes put in her ear. She also had respiratory problems with sneezing and runny nose. When the plastic tubes caused a reaction in her, the doctor said we’d have to put titanium tubes in and my husband and I both said NO. We put Grace on colloidal silver and she improved a lot. Then we brought her to Dr. Johnson. My husband and I both see Dr. Johnson and knew he could help Grace. With supplements and adjustments, Grace steadily improved. We also put an air filter in our house and that helped too. Now Grace enjoys her visits to Dr. Johnson. She loves the staff and looks forward to coming to see Dr. Johnson. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Help with Behavior, Sleep Problems & School Work

My son Michael was put on Adderall when he was in the third grade to help quiet him. Although he was put on the mildest dose initially, over the years the dosage was increased. Now he’s in junior high school and going through a huge growth spurt. My family and I have been patients of Dr. Johnson for quite a while. I told him about Michael’s problems — his inability to keep still and be quiet, his thrashing about during the night, his waking us up night after night talking in his sleep, and that I wanted to wean Michael off the Adderall. Dr. Johnson put Michael on Min-Tran® from Standard Process Inc®. Recently, Michael’s drafting teacher and an aide from the junior high both told me that Michael’s behavior had really changed. He now thinks in complete thoughts, speaks longer sentences, and has good behavior. I was impressed that two of Michael’s teachers would tell me about his improved behavior on the same day. Thanks Dr. Johnson for your help with all our family and especially with Michael.

Help with Crohn's Disease After Medical Care Failed

My son Thomas had suffered from Crohn’s Disease since 1998. He’s been on all kinds of drugs and had been hospitalized several times. As a result, he had no energy, was lethargic, and became emotional. He couldn’t gain weight and at 12 years old only weighed 50 pounds. Thomas’s medical doctors put him on drugs and more drugs (at one point, taking 17 pills a day that weren’t working). He did go into remission after his bowel resection; however, it didn’t last. The doctors then said that Thomas needed a remicade infusion. The doctors had no idea what the side effects would be with this, so I said, “We’re done!” I had heard about Dr. Johnson from several friends. I made an appointment with him and brought Thomas in. It all seemed so strange — not at all like a “doctor’s office.” But the staff was nice and thorough and so was Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson examined Thomas, suggested some supplements for him and then put him on a special diet. None of the other medical doctors ever even hinted that Thomas might be eating something that disagreed with him. Not even at Children’s Hospital where there are dietitians on staff did anyone suggest that what Thomas was eating might be affecting his colon. Since coming to Dr. Johnson, Thomas is off all drugs. He takes his supplements and follows the eating plans laid out for him. He’s gained weight and is growing. He has energy now and can go out with his friends. Thomas is a self-motivated, conscientious student with Crohn’s. Thanks, Dr. J. for helping Thomas become the boy he was meant to be.

Psoriasis NAET Testimonial

About eight months ago my grandson Josh began breaking out in what I though was pimples with some dandruff. By the end of the month I noticed some scaling, then I happened to see a sore on his leg that looked bad. I took him to a dermatologist who diagnosed Josh with psoriasis and told me Josh would just “have to live with it for life.” The MD gave us prescriptions for some of Josh’s body parts, but the condition still got worse. The dermatologist refused to give any more meds and Josh continued breaking out, as his “before” picture indicates. I took Josh to another chiropractor who refused to adjust Josh because of Josh’s skin condition. I got some “stuff” at the health food store and found another chiropractor who also knew about NAET. He referred Josh to still two more doctors. Finally, I got on the Internet and checked out NAET and psoriasis. I emailed three doctors and called two. Only Dr. Johnson replied and here we are. It was difficult for Josh in the beginning. Josh was upset and I was unsure. However, after two to three treatments, Josh’s body kicked in. In less than 2 months Josh was considerably improved. In fact, Josh had improved so much that he had his school pictures taken and you can see the difference. Since coming to Dr. Johnson and getting NAET treatments, Josh has become more outspoken and outgoing, and has more self confidence. He even makes up good jokes now. Thank you, Dr. Johnson, so much for giving my grandson back to me.

Osteoporosis Reversal with Designed Clinical Nutirtion

Over a year and a half ago I read the book Perfect Bones. I was worried about osteoporosis as I had scored low on my last bone density test. My medical doctor put me on Fosamax. He said that the best he could do was to try to keep the osteoporosis from getting worse. At the end of the book, there was a number to call to find a doctor who could help with osteoporosis. The number was Standard Process Labs and they directed me to Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson checked me out and recommended special supplements to help with the osteoporosis. I followed Dr. J’s recommendations and when I had the bone density scan redone a few weeks ago, my score showed a dramatic improvement. My medical doctor was impressed. He was more so when I told him that I hadn’t been taking the Fosamax since I read Perfect Bones. He wanted to know all about my supplements and everything that I had done. Thanks to Dr. Johnson I’m doing better, I’m not getting worse or maintaining my bone loss. I think everyone with osteoporosis should read Perfect Bones and then discuss it with Dr. Johnson. He’s very knowledgeable and helpful.

Two weeks ago I began having joint pain in my shoulder, knee, and ankle. I play and teach piano and the pain began interfering with that. I was in pain off and on, but always in pain when I was at the piano. Also, when I put my handbag strap on my shoulder, I could hardly stand the pain. When I came to see Dr. Johnson for my regular adjustment, I told him about my pain and how bad it was. He suggested that I take Biost® from Standard Process Inc®. Three days after I started taking the Biost®, my pain was better; and after a week I hardly had any pain. Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for taking my pain away.

For a long time, I broke out whenever I ate wheat. I had bumps on my arms and legs and my system wasn’t working right. Dr. Johnson suggested I eliminate wheat from my diet. It was hard but I did it. Now it’s been seven months since I’ve had wheat. My bumps are gone, I have more energy, my stomach pains are gone, and my system is working properly again. Thanks, Dr. J.

Nine months ago I gave birth to my fourth child. This one was by c-section. I never felt right afterwards. The incision always bothered me. My one leg was still numb from the childbirth and I didn’t recover like I did with my other children. I came to Dr. Johnson and he recommended I use scar therapy for my incision. I followed his instructions and soon I felt better. Dr. Johnson also suggested I do the Standard Process 3-week cleanse. I did do it and I felt lighter, more energetic. In fact, I lost 14 pounds and feel great! Thanks to the scar therapy and the cleanse I now feel renewed. Thanks, Dr. J.

Back in 2000, I was diagnosed with mono and suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome until May of 2003. My medical doctor told me I had to live with the chronic fatigue, that eventually it would go away. He said, “Deal with it!” But it didn’t go away and I decided to “deal with it” in a different way. I saw Dr. Johnson for nutrition counseling. He treated me for the mono and said the virus was in my liver. Dr. J put me on special supplements and within weeks I could see a difference. It took a little over six months, but my chronic fatigue is gone. I feel great now.

After the holidays, I was feeling tired constantly. I had no energy, so I went to my medical doctor and had blood work done—thyroid, etc. The doctor told me everything was okay and that I was depressed. He gave me a prescription for antidepressants. I didn’t take it. Instead, I came to see Dr. Johnson. I’ve been a chiropractic patient for years and I trusted Dr. Johnson to tell me why I was feeling so bad. After checking me with Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), Dr. Johnson suggested I go on the Standard Process Inc® whole body cleanse program. What a difference! I have so much more energy now. My system has regulated itself and I feel great! I’m back to working out again, something I couldn’t do before. I’m even still eating a lot of the foods I ate on the program because they make me feel good and give me energy. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help.

For over 14 years after the birth of my daughter, I did not feel well. I saw many regular medical doctors and they couldn’t find out what was wrong either. During the past two years, I frequently suffered from dry eyes. The last time the symptoms wouldn’t go away. My ophthalmologist told me I had no tear layers and needed tear plugs. So I did it. Big mistake. Now my eyes tear all the time. I went on the Internet to research my symptoms after my doctor told me my tearing was chronic and wouldn’t change. I found another chiropractor and nutritionist and went to him. Because of the long distance involved, I came here for my supplements. When I wasn’t having the success I thought I should have, I decided to try Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson examined me and put me on supplements, a whole new nutritional program and NO wheat or dairy. In 4 weeks I saw dramatic improvements. I had energy, didn’t need to nap every day, and best of all, NO TEARS. The medical doctors tried to tell me I had severe illnesses even though my tests were all normal. Now I know what a difference the whole body concept can make. I had an amazing reaction using CRA and supplements. I tell everyone about Dr. Johnson. He helped me and he can help you.

I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for almost twenty years as has most of my family. When winter and dark, short days came, I became severely depressed and lacked all ambition. I just wanted to crawl back into my bed and hibernate. Dr. Johnson has been my chiropractor for many years. I told him about my SAD problem and he had me complete a nutritional survey. He then asked me to take several supplements every day. I did and within a week I was better. It was a virtual, instantaneous success! My symptoms went away and I felt 100% better. Thanks, Dr. Johnson for all your help over the years and especially for ridding me of SAD.

A couple of months ago Dr. Johnson suggested that my family and I take ground flax seeds. We followed his directions and soon noticed some differences, especially my husband. In the two months since we started taking ground flax seeds, my husband’s cholesterol went from 240 to 180, his HDL (the good stuff) went from 36 to 50, his triglycerides from 334 to 80, and finally his TSH which has always been abnormal is now normal. These are fantastic results for someone only taking ¼ cup of ground flax seeds in some yogurt every day. Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

I had been feeling bad, tired with low energy. I constantly suffered from cold sores and my heartbeat was not regular. I’ve had heart problems since I was a child, but I was able to cope with them back then. Now, I’m a butcher and a firefighter who loves mountain biking. A friend from the military recommended that I see Dr. Johnson, who put me on a recommended course of supplements. I definitely have had good positive results and more energy. I’ve been coming to Dr. Johnson for over a year now and although the going was slow in the beginning, I’m feeling better and better. I also suffered from joint problems. Dr. Johnson recommended supplements with calcium and now my joint pains are gone. I’m really grateful to Dr. Johnson for all the help he’s given me.

My son Marco was very healthy until the age of two. He then began suffering from recurrent ear infections. In fact, in one year when he was two to three years old, he was treated for 10 ear infections in 12 months. I had taken Marco to the pediatrician and it was determined that he should have tubes in his ears. The ears, nose, and throat specialist agreed. We were getting ready for the surgery when I went to a Newcomers meeting (we had just moved to Michigan). Dr. Johnson was the speaker that night and, although I don’t remember what he talked about, I remember thinking that maybe he could help Marco. I really believe that the less invasive any treatment is the better. I called the office and brought Marco in for an exam to see what could be done. Dr. Johnson was very thorough. He used Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) and determined what supplements Marco needed. Marco took the supplements and did not have the surgery. In the past several years since being under Dr. Johnson’s care, he has only taken antibiotics once for “swimmer’s ear.” I’m so happy we didn’t go ahead with the surgery. I’ve heard so many things about ear tubes — that you can’t take baths or swim normally or without ear coverings as well as other bad side effects. In addition, I had no idea how bad antibiotics were until my second son had something in his eye and we went to the doctor. The doctor told us he had a double ear infection and offered to give him antibiotics. When I asked her if I MUST give the antibiotics, she said no, that 80% of ear infections go away by themselves. Marco’s been doing very well. He’s now getting NAET (allergy elimination) treatments and fighting the effects of all the antibiotics he took over the first few years of his life. Dr. Johnson has really been terrific. He’s helped Marco tremendously. I certainly would recommend him for all children, especially those with ear infections.

About a year ago, my knees began to ache and swell. Since I work in sales and am on my feet all day, this posed a real problem. I went to my medical doctor who put me on Celebrex and had me wear a knee brace. This took the swelling down but the pain remained. Soon all my muscles in my arms and legs ached, then I ached all over. It was really hard to go to work. I’ve been coming to Dr. Johnson since 1995. On a recent visit, I asked him about my problem. He checked me out and put me on Standard Process Inc® Cataplex® B. Within three days the swelling was gone. It was like a miracle! Now I have no aches and I’m happy to go to work.. Dr. Johnson told me I had a Vitamin B deficiency. Once I got the vitamin in my system I was fine. Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

For months I suffered from an upset stomach. I know all the tales — I don’t eat right, the older you get the harder it is, and many more. I’ve been a practice member here at the clinic for several years, so I asked Dr. Johnson about my stomach problems. He suggested I take Standard Process Inc® Collinsonia Root. I took some and within four hours my stomach was better. I’ve been taking it ever since and haven’t had any more stomach problems. Several weeks ago I had hemorrhoid surgery and the medical doctor had told me that I would need another surgery to correct the problem. Since taking the Collinsonia Root, I have been so much better that I can cancel my upcoming surgery. I also had some pain in my upper back area. Dr. J checked me out and suggested Standard Process Inc® A-F Betafood. I’ve been feeling a lot better since I started taking it. In addition to the supplements, Dr. Johnson recommended dietary changes. I’ve increased the amounts of fruits and vegetables I eat, stopped the carbonated beverages (especially pop), increased the amount of water I drink, and added iced tea to what I drink. I really am feeling so much better. I can’t believe how fast the changes occurred. Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

Recently, I was feeling very weak from what started as a summer cold and sore throat. While on vacation, I had been exposed to some indirect cigarette smoke and at the same time some very cold air conditioning, which made me weaker. I had to go slow returning home and was concerned that I would once again have to take antibiotics to recover. I saw Dr. Johnson. He checked me over and said I had a left master allergy/strept allergy reflex. I’ve benefited from CRA since 1974, but didn’t realize that Dr. Karl had extended the benefits of CRA and his expertise to areas traditionally reserved for “antibiotics”. Of course, to be fair, physicians in general are shying away from them due to their long-term side effects. Right away, Dr. Johnson put me on Bactrex plus other supplements that reflect the relationship between the adrenal glands and respiratory illness. Although it took a few extra days, for the first time, I was able to recover without the use of antibiotics. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. I’m grateful for the full recovery and more importantly, for instructing me on a much better approach to healing respiratory illnesses.

I first came to Dr. Johnson for treatment of asthma, allergies, and high blood pressure. I also wanted to lose weight. Dr. Johnson told me I shouldn’t start any diets until I was healthier. He worked with me using chiropractic adjustments and Contact Reflex Analysis® with nutritional supplements. When I was very young, I was quite active. But when I moved to the U.S. from Sweden, I became very sick. The air here was difficult for me to breathe. I ended up spending almost a year in bed, then I found Dr. Johnson. As my asthma came under control and I started to get better, I wanted to lose the many pounds that I had gained. I heard about Eat Right for Your Blood Type, a great book by Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo. Many of the staff (including Dr. Johnson) had read the book and were following the eating plan suggested for their blood types. I decided to give it a try. The program didn’t work well for me in the beginning. I lost 12 pounds quickly then stopped. It wasn’t until I had my health under control, followed the diet and took up Tae Bo exercising that the weight started to come off. So far I’ve lost 40 pounds and I’m continuing to lose. But I have to work at it all the time. I exercise every morning Monday through Friday and take the weekend off. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I do Tae Bo exercises with a Billy Blanks video. On Tuesday and Thursday, I walk. I think everyone needs to find the kind of exercise they like and then do it. If you want to do the tae bo, start slowly and watch your knees and neck. Don’t overdo it. Go slowly and do what you can. It took me a long time to find a program that worked for me. I like the blood type food program. I feel so much better and Dr. Johnson has been so helpful. If anyone would like to talk to me about my diet and exercise program as well as my care under Dr. Johnson, please give me a call at (248) 585-3012. Remember that you need adjustments, nutrition (including supplements and diet), and exercise. All three together is what will do it. Thanks Dr. Johnson for all your help.

Several months ago my medical doctor told me that I was a borderline diabetic. I knew I suffered from low blood sugar because I was shaky in the afternoon. I also suffered from acid reflux and wanted to get rid of that. I decided the best way was to get rid of sugar and white flour in my diet. I read the book, “Protein Power” by Michael Eades and decided to follow the program. I was allowed 30 grams of carbohydrate per day, so there went all the things I loved to eat. In the past four months, I’ve lost 30 pounds and still counting. I follow the program and take the supplements Dr. Johnson recommended. I’ve been losing between 1 and 2 pounds per week. Needless to say, I’m not diabetic, I’m not shaky in the afternoon, I have no acid reflux anymore. I’m getting my adjustments, taking my supplements, following my diet — and I feel great!

About ten years ago I had to have a cardiac catherization done because my cardiologist didn’t know why I was having chest pains. The results were good but I had a 10% build up in my coronary artery. Since then I’ve been working with Dr. Johnson to regulate my mitral valve using Cardio Plus and also taking flax oil. Recently, I had to have another cardiac catherization done because my cardiologist felt I was under too much stress and that I probably had a lot of plaque build-up where the 10% had been. The results surprised him. I had no build-up there. Even the 10% was gone. I believe that was the action of the flax oil. I’ve been told that it’s wonderful for cholesterol and now I believe it. Thanks Dr. Johnson for the good work that you do.

In fact, due to health challenges I experienced during labor and birth, Katy had an antibiotic IV stuck in her head as soon as she was born. As a child, she suffered from many upper respiratory infections, sinus and throat infections. In fact, she was on antibiotics more than she was off them. Recently, Katy developed a fever and congestion. She was several days into her illness when we had our chiropractic appointment with Dr. Johnson. I told him about Katy’s problems and he suggested we put her on Standard Process Inc® Antronex® and Congaplex®. We hadn’t been coming for nutrition, only for chiropractic, so I was skeptical about this. But I was ready to try anything. I didn’t want Katy on drugs any more. Imagine my surprise when three days later Katy was fine! This was the first time she had ever gotten through an illness without antibiotics since she was born. What can I say! I was rooted in the medical world. Slowly, my daughter and I were becoming converts to alternative medicine. However, NOW I’m a believer!! In fact, this was is the best way. Medicine is now the alternative, an alternative I prefer to avoid. Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

Although I’ve been a patient of Dr. Johnson’s for several years, it was only recently that I realized what good care I was getting. I had gone for my mammogram and was told there was a lump. I mentioned this to Dr. Johnson on my regular visit. He suggested that I take some Standard Process Inc® Cataplex® E and some Standard Process Inc® Mammary PMG®. I did. About three weeks later, after I had seen a specialist, I went in for my surgery. Before this type of surgery, the doctor has another mammogram done. I had my mammogram and was waiting to go to surgery when the doctor came in and told me to get dressed, that the lump was gone. The only different thing that I had done was to take those supplements. The lump is gone and I don’t need to have another mammogram for 6 months. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your good advice.

Last April Dr. Johnson told me to take Osteo B+. He said my nutrition check up indicated that I needed it. What a difference! I’ve experienced increased energy in every phase of my life! He also told me to give up wheat. I did. I didn’t switch to other grains, I just stopped eating anything with wheat in it. As my energy increased, I started walking and doing some weight lifting and now, nine months later, I’ve lost 50 pounds and I feel great. My energy levels are high, I eat small meals throughout the day. I don’t walk as much as I used to, but I have no trouble maintaining my weight. My husband can’t get over the change in me. I love it. Thanks, Dr. J.

Last week I had my regularly scheduled nutrition appointment and I almost canceled it because I felt dizzy, achy, nauseous — all flu symptoms. But I didn’t. I came in. That was the best thing I ever did. Dr. Johnson tested me using Contact Reflex Analysis© (CRA) and told me I was coming down with the flu. He suggested I take VIVI. I did and in 24 hours I was fine! It was gone completely. The next day my son told me he didn’t feel good; he had the same symptoms. I told him to take the VIVI before he went to bed. He did and the next day he was fine. Not just 50% better, but fine, 100%. I’m certainly glad I kept my appointment with Dr. Johnson when I wasn’t feeling good. He can really help in all kinds of cases. When you don’t feel good, think you have the flu, or just aren’t up to par, please don’t cancel your appointments. Dr. Johnson can help. You only have to ask him. Thanks, Dr. J.

Dear Dr. Karl Johnson, My search to clear the strept throat my daughter had monthly for the past two years, is what led me to your practice. Jacqueline started treatment in September 1997, after I was impressed at how well you had helped me. Your initial CRA showed an overgrowth of yeast weakening her immune system. The first couple weeks of treatment was rough for her. Killing the yeast seemed to make her tired and want junk food more than ever. Imagine my response when the teacher told me this year the child I thought was always bright and happy may have a learning disability. I was so upset. Why? How had this happened? Her grades starting off this school year were low but, I attributed it to the jump from lower to upper elementary. My brief visits with the teacher found me: working harder with her at home, extra math help at school, and a school liaison for helping with self esteem. Not to mention the teachers patience as I explained well, she is under the care of a nutritionist please give her system a chance to rebuild. She probably thought I was nuts. But, agreed to give her until after Christmas break. It didn't take that long. A few weeks later the parent teacher conference was a great success. Meeting with both the teacher and the core math teacher there was only positive feelings on Jacqueline's improvement. The teacher explained, "Mrs. Puuri, I am here to tell you whatever you are doing at home, keep it up. Jackie is a different child than who came into my class in August." Thinking back I realized that Jacqueline has been short changed. Sick most of her first and second grade year. She didn't miss that much school but, never felt well. Sinus infections seem to make you feel like you have cotton in your head. Sore throats make you want to sleep to forget the pain. How could anyone learn like that? Steps taken at home were to go back and teach the basics 1 + 1 = 2 etc., and that became difficult with trying to keep up with homework, housework, working at school and mom’s full time job. Mostly, I could only keep up the nutrition. The rest she was able to do once she felt better. For the first time in her life she is like a sponge. She is absorbing and comprehending better than ever. Just last week the teacher said, "and has Jackie read out loud to you lately? She is doing great. Just blossoming." Early in the year her grades ranged from 34% to 56 %. Again, I thought this was probably how the whole class was doing. Currently, the teacher feels that Jacqueline is slightly down but, at the end of the year will be right where she needs to be. The last file she brought home was on reading. “Bring this home and show it to Mom,” said the teacher. Jackie was quite proud. Thirteen papers that averaged a whopping 95%. Later that evening I mentioned to Jacqueline that I would be writing this success story. In doing so I hoped it would help other parents decide to try nutrition with Dr. Johnson before any other type of treatment. "Is there anything you would like to add to the letter, Jackie?" I asked. "Like what do they want to know? "she asked. “Like do you think you feel different since you have went to Dr. Johnson?” "I feel good," she said. "Mommy is it OK to feel good everyday?" Yes, I assured her that it is OK to feel good and I am glad she does!

When I first brought my son, Jake, to Dr. Johnson almost two years ago, he was noisy, destructive, couldn’t sit still, hyperactive child of 4. I was at the end of my rope and didn’t know what to do. Dr. Johnson put him on supplements and told me I wouldn’t see any improvement for 3 or 4 months. Several weeks went by and I was ready to give up. However, I soon noticed that Jake wasn’t as noisy, could actually sit still for a minute. It had been three and one-half months since he started treatment. Soon he was behaving and listening to me. Before I couldn’t give him a “time out” because he couldn’t control himself enough to sit still. Now he can and does. Recently with school starting, Jake went back to his former speech teacher, who hadn’t seen him in over a year. She couldn’t believe the change. He had gone from a two-word vocabulary to sentences. He has made tremendous progress, but there is still more work to do. With Dr. Johnson’s help, I know my son will continue to improve. An additional benefit my family has experienced since coming to the clinic is wellness. My husband has not yet seen the light and come to Dr. Johnson, so he catches many colds and viruses going around. My two sons and I always used to get sick too. Now only my husband continues to get “sick.” My sons and I remain healthy. Thank you, Dr. Johnson.
