After several years at Oakland and Wayne State Universities and another four at Palmer Chiropractic College, I’ve painstakingly spent the last 25 years developing, what I consider to be, the ultimate Fibromyalgia Solution System and Technique.

In the end, I’ve taken the best-of-the best out of everything I discovered, added my own personal touch, practiced, practiced and then practiced some more… and… came up with what I consider to be the ultimate system for relieving Fibromyalgia. As the years went by and I mastered my system, patients started getting remarkable results… many after the very first treatment. The best thing about my system is I have been able to help so many Fibromyalgia sufferers who thought they had tried everything and were ready to give up.

The primary job of the doctor of chiropractic is to detect, reduce, and help prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex using chiropractic adjustments. Applying a carefully and precisely directed pressure to the spine in a quick manner by hand or special instrument, the doctor of chiropractic is able to restore normal motion and function to the spine, thereby reducing or eliminating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Adjustments can be safely used throughout life from birth to old age. The "Golden Rule" in our practice is that treatment must be as pleasant as the relief experienced. We take pride in administering precise and gentle corrective movements. Most chiropractic treatment is called "adjusting" and is done by hand. Traditional (Vitalistic) Chiropractic Care. This is the foundational service that we have offered since our offices’ inception in 1983. The primary job of the Doctor of Chiropractic is to detect, reduce, and help prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex using chiropractic adjustments. In simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move incorrectly (or don’t move when they should) and as a result, create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly. It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations. Applying a carefully and precisely directed pressure to the spine in a quick manner by hand or special instrument, the Doctor of Chiropractic is able to restore normal motion and function to the spine, thereby reducing or eliminating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Adjustments can be safely used throughout life from birth to old age.

Pediatric Chiropractic and Pregnancy Holistic Health Care Care. After attending certification training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) many years ago, Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center put a greater emphasis on the importance of locating and correcting the vertebral subluxation complex in infants and children as well as the pregnant mother. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Andris love working with kids and sometimes the parents can’t tell who is the “bigger kid” – Dr. Johnson or their child. Often unruly children become mesmerized with some “toy” or gadget that the doctors have and forget they are seeing the doctor and by then their treatment is complete. Parents love seeing their children get well without drugs or surgery the way nature intended. Children can’t “believe in chiropractic” and therefore are the ultimate proof that the body heals itself when the interference to the healing process is removed with natural chiropractic care. Mothers-to-be enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy with less chance of breech presentation thanks to specialized training and certification in Webster’s In-Utero Constraint Technique. The Webster Technique has been shown to reduce constraint to the mother's uterus 82% of the time, allowing the baby to get into the vertex position for birth. Chiropractic care is essential for the pregnant mother. Her systems and organs are now providing for two and their optimal function is critical for the baby's healthy development. The mother's spine and pelvis undergo many changes and adaptations to compensate for the growing baby and the risk of interference to her nervous system is increased. Specific chiropractic care throughout pregnancy works with enhancing nervous system function providing greater health potential for both the mother and baby. Another important reason for care throughout pregnancy is to help establish balance in the mother's pelvis. Because of a lifetime of stress and trauma to her spine and pelvis, her pelvic opening may be compromised, resulting in a less than optimum passage for the baby. Williams Obstetrics Text tells us that, "Any contraction of the pelvic diameters that diminish the capacity of the pelvis can create dystocia (difficulty) during labor." They further state that the diameter of the woman's pelvis is decreased when the sacrum is displaced. Dr. Abraham Towbin, medical researcher on birth tells us that the bony pelvis may become "deformed" this way by trauma. Chiropractors define this displacement/ deformation as spinal misalignment or subluxation primarily caused by the stress of trauma. Key Benefits of Pediatric and Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Functional Neurological Muscle Testing (FNMT) and Analytical Tests (Also known as body reflex testing or kinesiology)
THE BRAIN IS THE MASTER control center of the body, including the neuromusculature. We seek to understand the root cause of why you aren't healing through the combination of a variety of body reflex techniques using muscle testing including:
Weaknesses can be determined in any of the systems of the body. These body reflex techniques use your own muscle resistance, are simple and painless, and can determine the origin of the blockage or condition in the body. Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET®), combined with Clinical Nutrition and Functional Neuromuscular Testing along with dietary guidance, has been helpful in aiding our practice members eliminate allergies to various substances (environmental; grass, pollen, mold, perfumes, smoke, etc.), get rid of motion sickness, improve relationships with children, spouses, coworker and others, as well as improving their ability to adapt to their particular environment. Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, NAET® was developed in 1983 to eliminate food allergies, allergic reactions, and diseases arising from a variety of allergens. NAET® treatment protocols mainly encompass procedures that are modified from chiropractic, acupuncture and/or acupressure, and nutritional disciplines. NAET® treatments mainly consist of non-invasive spinal manipulative therapies along with acupuncture and/or acupressure on specific acupuncture points in the human body. NAET® has been found to be very effective for many acute and chronic conditions that are a result of hypersensitivity reactions. It is to be clearly understood that NAET® is not a solution for all ailments and diseases. An allergic or a hypersensitivity reaction is the result when an individual reacts adversely to the substances in his environment. These substances could be the foods he/she eats on a daily basis, or any of the following substance he/she uses such as drugs, vitamins, chemicals, environmental agents like grasses, trees, flowers, perfumes, computers, plastics, etc. The list can go on (Nambudripad, 2003). To most people, these substances may be harmless, or well-tolerated, and even useful. In some people, contact with these substances may create reactions that activate the immune system to produce and release antibodies and chemical messengers to destroy the substances the body perceives as “dangerous.” These antibodies will attach to the antigens in order to export them out of the body. The rest of the defense forces of the body will arrive at the affected tissue to provide support, destroy and eliminate the intruder. More blood and lymph will flow towards the affected tissue giving rise to inflammation of the tissue. These antigen-antibody reactions can produce symptoms like mild to severe itching, hives and various types of skin reactions, watery eyes, runny and congested sinuses, rapid heart rate, fatigue, headaches, irritability, mental confusion, insomnia, brain disorders, indigestion, gastrointestinal discomforts, various types of pain disorders, mood changes, and swelling of the joints, tongue, throat, and brain tissue.

Nutrition and Diet TherapyThere is a revolution in health care which is based on the scientific understanding that the types of foods we eat may be intimately linked to our state of health. Nutrition/Diet Therapy is a practice of evaluating an individual's nutritional deficiencies and then replacing those essential nutrients through diet modification and nutritional supplementation with vitamins and minerals and other substances. Our main focus with diet modification is based on the work of Peter J. D'Adamo, who spells out the effect foods have on our bodies based on our blood type. Dr. Johnson is a Practitioners who is IfHI Certified. This means Dr. Johnson has attended an IfHI certification conference, completed a course of study and have passed a certification exam. These individuals who are IfHi certified have been personally trained by Dr. D'Adamo and are fully accredited practitioners and educators. Both Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) and Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) are utilized to find and correct underlying nutritional inadequacies using whole food and full spectrum herbal supplements. In addition, dietary guidance based on the blood type concept developed by Peter J. D’Adamo, are utilized in this part of our service to our practice members. Dr. Johnson studied and became a fellow of the Institute for Human Individuality. The Institute for Human Individuality (IfHI), a non-profit organization under the auspices of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, has as its prime goal the fostering of research in the expanding area of human nutrigenomics and epigenetics. These emerging sciences seek to provide a molecular understanding for how common dietary chemicals affect health by altering the expression or structure of an individual’s genetic makeup. The five basic tenets of nutrigenomics are:

SUCCESS STORYI Can Walk Again Without Pain!“I have always been a very active person until I started having a problem with my neck. I have been coming to Dr. Johnson for about 7 to 8 years for lower back problems which has been kept under control by using the Cox table and regular manipulation. However, about a year ago, I started having problems with my neck and shoulder and ended up getting an MRI in which I found out that I had 2 bulging discs and 3 herniated discs. This has caused me so much pain that it hurt me to drive. I had to stop playing tennis, I stopped walking, I found that I was sleeping a lot and I was just laying in bed with no relief. I couldn’t even lay on regular bed pillows as it would hurt to lay on them. Then, I started getting migraine headaches. I decided I needed some help so I started getting treated with physical therapy. The physical therapist gave me some nice massages, and got me to move a little better by stretching my cramped muscles, but, it did not get me out of pain. So, as soon as I found out that Dr. Johnson got this new Non-surgical Spinal Decompression table, I just had to try it to see if it would relieve my pain. It did and it was a miracle! The Cox table gave me relief for only a couple of days but with Dr. Johnson’s Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression table, I can go for months without pain. I just had 8 treatments over a couple of months and it really got me moving again; I started walking again and I feel so great that playing tennis is just around the corner again. I think if I was just doing the Cox table it would have been a much slower recovery for me. With Dr. Johnson’s Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression table, my results are maximized and my recovery is fast. Thank you Dr. Johnson for introducing me to the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression table, it is wonderful and amazing!” Heidi Kanan Grosse Pointe, MI
SUCCESS STORYFinally, Pain Relief with Spinal Decompression!“I’ve had lower back pain for many years. I could not sit or stand for too long. Even upon getting out of bed in the morning, I would wake up with severe pain in my lower back. I could not watch TV for too long as I constantly had to get up or move around as the pain would get worse the longer I sat down. And, then the pain would get worse the longer I would stand also. So, either way, the pain kept attacking me and it got to the point where I knew I needed help. I was tired of watching TV with pillows stuffed behind my back. Being an active person, my lower back pain would get in the way of my exercise regimes too. I then decided one day that I wanted to stop this pain. I came to Dr. Johnson in June of 2008 and Dr. Johnson suggested I try this Spinal Decompression Table. So, I did. Within only 3 sessions of using Dr. Johnson’s Spinal Decompression Table, I already felt relief from my lower back pain and the pain started to go away within a week! I was able to stand up longer and to sit for longer periods of time without my lower back pain interfering. I feel like the Spinal Decompression Table has gotten my life back as I am experiencing much more comfort in my life from the pain relief I am experiencing by using the Spinal Decompression Table. I have been to other Chiropractors and I have gotten some lower back pain relief from their adjustments but when I came to Dr. Johnson, he went beyond adjustments. He had the Spinal Decompression Table which provided pain relief like no other. Also, I am a Fibromyalgia sufferer and I believe the Spinal Decompression Table is helping me to defeat the symptoms of Fibromyalgia as I have been improving on all my Fibromyalgia tests such as the Balance tests and the left and right brain tests. I am thrilled to finally get lasting pain relief with the Spinal Decompression Table and I thank Dr. Johnson for all his expert knowledge and caring help” -Jeri Tompkins Warren, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy Pain Goes Away With the DTS Table“Before I used Dr. Johnson’s DTS Table, I had severe back pain, especially in my lower back. After using his DTS table, I noticed the first week that most of the pain had gone away and my back felt much better. The DTS table provided great back pain relief for me and I am so happy that I have experienced the DTS table. The DTS has made me feel so much more mobile and healthier. It was a big help in terms of taking away my back pain. I would not recommend using it a couple of times and then expecting a miracle. Your body needs consistency and the DTS will help keep your pain away as long as you consistently commit yourself to using it. It truly is a great feeling to have your pain go away with the DTS table. Thank you Dr. Johnson for helping me!”

SUCCESS STORYStarting to Feel Alive Again with Dr. Johnson’s Enhanced Air Spinal Decompression treatment“I did not immediately notice any difference after my air enhanced spinal decompression treatment on Friday, October 17th, until I was driving home. For the last week or so, my head/brain felt like it was being squeezed and it seemed as though I was watching life through a TV screen. Anything I did was a matter of extreme concentration no matter how simple the task was. I was also having a lot of pain and discomfort in my lower back, legs and feet which made it difficult for me to walk. Earlier that day, I had done quite a few errands and had lunch with a friend but it was a struggle. I was really scared and thought of a few frightful things that could be causing it. But, on the way home after my air enhanced spinal decompression treatment, I realized that I no longer felt that way and was no longer feeling depressed and scared. Later that day, I was able to move better and some of the discomfort and pain was gone after receiving my air enhanced spinal decompression treatment. I also have improved circulation throughout my whole body and can now finally sleep through the night. Also, now I experience just mild neuropathy in my feet and legs whereas before the air enhanced spinal decompression treatment, I was experiencing severe neuropathy in my feet and legs. On Saturday, I walked at the mall, did my exercises,
and took it a little easy working around the house. Sunday, I accomplished quite
a bit as I was moving stuff off of my courtyard into my garage and organizing
some things in my basement. Monday morning I am having my furnace checked for
the winter and will be back for another treatment at 3 p.m. Things are improving
rather quickly with Dr. Johnson’s oxygen enhanced spinal decompression
treatment. Thank you Dr. Johnson!” For more information on this special treatment see Triton DTS NSSD with NSI
SUCCESS STORYDr. Johnson’s Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table is Truly A Godsend“I have to tell you that I’ve had some very serious back problems and particularly some neck problems that resulted in me having an operation. After the operation about 15 years ago, I have had the opportunity to meet Dr. Johnson who I think is one of the finest Doctors I have ever associated myself with in my 76 years of life. About two months ago, Dr. Johnson was able to tackle my latest problem with my neck by introducing to me the Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table that he recommended that I use. Dr. Johnson suggested that I go on the Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table to see for myself if it will have an impact in some way to help my neck problem I was having at the time. At the time, I had some severe neck problems in that I couldn’t even raise my neck and arm or even move them around. But, I decided to try Dr. Johnson’s Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table and it turned out to be a real lifesaver for me. I only went on it 5 or 6 times and within those sessions, it really turned out to be a Godsend to me because it helped me from the very first treatment as it stretched my vertebrae and I knew it was something very special as it made me feel much better right away. I told Dr. Johnson that this Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table must of cost him a lot of money and he replied that ‘it did but it was worth it’. It sure was worth it for me too. My association with Dr. Johnson goes back 15-16 years ago when I had very serious back problems. Back then, I couldn’t even walk and I consistently fell down in the street and even in Dr. Johnson’s office. It was an unbelievable situation because I thought I was going to need another surgery but Dr. Johnson assured me that I don’t need surgery. And, it turns out, I didn’t need surgery at all- I needed the Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table and that was enough. Dr. Johnson is an outstanding person in that he has helped me so much that both my wife, Mary, and I have come to him for many years. We have so much confidence in Dr. Johnson and we are so happy we have come to him for help. After using his Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table, I feel so much better. I also feel that it is very important that I continue to have his normal prescribed treatments to adjust my spinal column because it is what keeps my body in tune. When I came into Dr. Johnson’s office many years ago, the problem was that I couldn’t do anything and when I left his office, I could resume a normal movement of the neck and shoulders again. My arm was also in great pain, it was like a big toothache but Dr. Johnson has healed it by giving me the opportunity to use his Triton DTS Spinal Decompression Table. Dr Johnson is clearly the best Doctor and I think he and his staff are an outstanding team of individuals. My wife Mary and I are treated so well there. We love Dr. Johnson very much and this is a situation that God has put into his hands because Dr. Johnson’s hands and knowledge have been just outstanding. I would absolutely refer my friends and family to Dr. Johnson. And, to those who haven’t tried Chiropractic medicine, let me suggest that you do because in the past 15 years, Dr. Johnson has kept Mary and I in very good shape. I hope my testimonial will be of help to those out there who are still skeptical. Mary and I are believers of Dr. Johnson’s work and we hope you come to find the truth through him and experience God’s work through Dr. Johnson. Thank you very much Dr. Johnson! God bless you and your staff!”

SUCCESS STORYFrequent Migraine Headaches Ended!I would like to give you a great big hug and thank-you for the wonderful care that I have always received here at the wellness center. When I first came to your office, I was a little skeptical about the need for Chiropractic care. You hear so much from people who don’t know the benefits of Chiropractic care and start to believe that you will never need it either. But, I definitely did. Before coming to the clinic, I had experienced frequent migraines and neck pain with chronic insomnia. I had missed a lot of work and had seen many neurologists and to no avail. I also received paralytics that were injected into my head to numb the right side of my head so that the pain would not be so bad so that I could continue to work and support my family. I received multiple injections and tried just about every migraine medication on the market. I was desperate for help. I had frequent ER visits, and, one episode I was up for 5 days with pain so intense I could not sleep without strong prescription sleeping medication. My body just would not sleep. A friend at my church recommended Dr. Johnson. I was hoping Dr. Johnson would find something the others had not. Dr. Johnson told me that I had heavy metal toxicity and TMJ with subluxation to my neck. I also forgot to mention another problem I had which was weekly menstrual periods that were left uncorrected by progesterone from the ob-gyn. After 2 weeks of adjustments by Dr. Johnson, my weekly periods had stopped and had normalized! And my sleeping slowly started improving with NAET treatments and supplements. Dr. Johnson had explained that my head was in vasospasm. Because of Dr. Johnson’s diagnosis, I was able to get the corrective TMJ splint that I needed to stop the continued vasospasm in my head. I truly believe that if I had not been seen by Dr. Johnson I would still be suffering at a magnitude too much to continue working. I am so grateful to Dr. Johnson for staying in this profession. This is one of those life experiences that you are very grateful that you had experienced. And, I am truly a believer in Jesus Christ and that he causes all things to work for our good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose. And through this experience, I have seen the goodness in others like Dr. Johnson sacrificing their time to help others which has been a blessing to me. And, in return, I have a greater compassion through the pain I suffered for those who are suffering too, which causes me to do more for others and go that extra mile to be a blessing to others. In return, life is so much more rewarding now for me. I work in one of the biggest hospitals in the state and I see a lot of suffering. I tell many people about Dr. Johnson and the benefits that I have experienced. I tell a friend and she tells her father in law and so forth. I just print off their website page and hope they will get the help they need too. I truly believe that Dr. Johnson is an answer to my prayer and my family’s prayers. God bless you Dr. Johnson! And, I would like to sincerely say, “Thank-You!” from the bottom of my heart... I will always be thankful to you and your kind staff for all the benefits that I have experienced through your care. You truly are a Godsend... Sincerely, Lisa Sack, Clawson, Michigan
SUCCESS STORYI Feel 25 Years Younger!Before, I didn’t know what Chiropractic really was and I was not so sure it would be for me. Several years ago, doctors were not supportive about Chiropractic practice. But, now, I am so happy I gave Dr. Johnson a try because he helped me when no one else was able to. I have been going to Dr. Johnson for several years now on a regular basis. Dr. Johnson has helped me overcome my headaches and several allergies and back problems. I truly believe that because of the adjustments I am getting from Dr. Johnson, I am in much better health. And, the really neat thing is that I don’t feel my age anymore- I feel more like 40 years old instead of my current age of 65 years. I exercise and ride my bike on a regular basis along with having regular visits to Dr. Johnson. Thank you Dr. Johnson and staff! I owe you my youthful feeling and outlook on this wonderful life! -Linda Walling, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYQuality of Life ImprovedI believe Dr. Johnson and his staff are well trained in all phases of chiropractic therapy. I especially like the natural products that are used in his approach to many health problems that are due to bad nutrition. I am made to feel right at home and enjoy each visit. I have had a lower back problem for many years that has caused me unbearable pain. I have gone to several medical doctors and I was not satisfied with the results. A patient of Dr. Johnson recommended that I try Chiropractic treatment. With a few tests, Dr. Johnson made an evaluation of my condition and started treatments. Since the treatments, my quality of life is very much improved along with my back problem. Moreover, my wife, Janet, developed a severe case of vertigo causing her severe dizziness in a prone position. Janet went to her internist, and, after several tests, she was given Antivert with the hope that it would go away in time. It did not go away. Janet then sought treatment at Dr. Johnson’s Chiropractic Clinic. With no prescriptions and only three treatments, the vertigo was gone and has not returned! Her internist was also impressed with the results. In conclusion I sincerely believe Chiropractic treatment can greatly improve the quality of life by repairing the nervous system that causes many of the medical problems that occur. Also, your health is much improved by the nutritional information you receive. -John and Janet Petty, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy Body is Healing All By Itself...Again! Without Drugs or Surgery!
One day some twenty plus years ago, my boss told me about this wonderful Dr. Johnson. My boss was greatly helping his wife out of pain from her severe arthritis. I had one or two adjustments from different doctors but was not convinced that I needed to pay attention to my spine. I already had a right and left hip prosthesis from a childhood disease, which give me an abnormal posture. I decided that maybe I should take better care of my spine since so many nerves are protected by the vertebra. I started having regular adjustments with Dr. Johnson and was pleased with my added mobility and energy. I was doing maintenance and improving my posture. As I increased in age and various physical problems arose, Dr. Johnson always had solutions. I was constantly amazed at the wealth of knowledge stored in his mind. He corrected problems generated by the spine. He corrected other problems with nutrition and exercise suggestions. N.A.E.T. (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques) greatly helped with allergy conditions. He even told me what to do for a split fingernail and it worked! Now I do not hesitate to tell Dr. Johnson about anything going on with my body. Dr. Johnson will most likely have the answer to any problem that arises before even thinking about or resorting to medications and/or surgery. I enjoy my hugs from this caring healer. My visits always entail laughter and I always leave with good feelings. The office staff is also pleasant and jovial. Each visit brings physical and mental healing. Thank you Dr. Johnson! Thank you! Doris Chase, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYGolfing Again!I’m a recreational golfer. I like to play on a league once a week. However, about a month ago I started having a sharp pain that went up my back and through my ribcage, especially when I twisted or rotated my body. Naturally, this affected my golf game. I tried to play, but it hurt too much. I could sit, stand, walk, and lie down — but I couldn’t swing a golf club. I went to my medical doctor and had x-rays and an EMG done. He put me on pain medications, which helped a little. But when the pain medication wore off, I hurt as much as before. My wife and I had attended a couple of Dr. Johnson’s seminars. She has gotten supplements from Dr. Johnson and we have friends who are patients of Dr. Johnson. I thought I’d give him a try. Dr. Johnson adjusted me three times a week for a few weeks. I felt better by the end of the first week. Now I feel great! In fact, I just played golf today and did pretty well too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson for all your help. Marvin Himmler, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYBack Pain Resolved!Last February, about five months ago, I fell over my dog. I ended up with three herniated lumbar discs. I was in pain all the time — 24/7. I couldn’t lay, sit, or walk. My medical doctor had me get an MRI. I tried physical therapy, but it was not successful. The doctor then suggested a shot of steroids directly into the affected area, and finally surgery. I didn’t like that idea. My mother suggested Dr. Johnson. She’s been coming to Dr. J for several years and really likes him. I had been to DO's for manipulations, to other chiropractors (I didn’t like them), and to medical doctors. On my mother’s advice, I came to see Dr. Johnson. I noticed a big difference after my first adjustment. My pain became tolerable. It was even better after my second adjustment. I was ready to give up and now I’m alive! It feels good to be alive! Thanks, Dr. Johnson! Jeri Kaniewski, Dearborn, MI
SUCCESS STORYFoot Leveler’s Spinal-Pelvic Stabilizers Save the Day For several months, Dr. Johnson has been treating me for hip and leg pain. It was especially painful walking in the am and evening after work. Dr. Johnson tested me and the results showed that my right leg was a quarter inch shorter than my left. Dr. Johnson suggested ordering Foot Leveler’s Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers for my shoes. What a difference! Even my bit toe turned from purple back to its normal color within two days. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for your continued help. June Mac Pherson, Troy, MI
SUCCESS STORYChiropractic & Nutrition Put Me Back in the GardenFor over a year I suffered from leg cramps at least twice a night. My medical doctor told me to take some calcium — that any kind would do. I got some calcium supplements at the store, but they didn’t help. My friend recommended that I see Dr. Johnson for that and the pain in my back. I came in for chiropractic care and told Dr. Johnson about my problem. In addition to the adjustments, he also recommended that I take special calcium that was more absorbable — Standard Process® Calcium Lactate®. He also told me that cod liver oil would help. I tried the cod liver oil gels but they bothered my stomach. Then I tried the Standard Process® Tuna Omega Oil® gels. They work fine and I’m doing much better. I’ve also had low back pain for a long time. I’m a Master Gardener and it was increasingly difficult to work in my gardens. By my sixth visit I was doing so much better. I’m sleeping through the night without any leg cramps and my low back pain is almost gone. I’m looking forward to spring and my gardens again. I’m happy to recommend Dr. Johnson to everyone. Thanks, Dr. J. Barbara Sztaba, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYMigraine Headaches Now a Distant MemoryMy son Austin suffered from migraine headaches every day. Two or three times a week they would be so bad that he would throw up. He had been to an allergy MD and did shots, but they didn’t work. A friend recommended Dr. Johnson. When Dr. Johnson examined Austin, he found more than just the allergies that Austin had been treated for. Austin started NAET treatments and soon we began to notice a difference. Austin’s headaches subsided until now when he rarely has any. Austin says that he can’t remember when he had his last headache. Austin also started receiving chiropractic care for some leg pain. Dr. Johnson said that Austin had a compressed vertebra that was causing the low back pain and the leg pain. The adjustments have really helped that too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. Laura LaBroski, Almont, MI
SUCCESS STORYDepression, Low Energy, Sleeplessness and LethargyTaken Care of with ChiropracticDr. Johnson has been my chiropractor for over 15 years. However, last March I had surgery on my knee. I was on crutches for a while and couldn’t get in for my regular adjustments. During that time, about four months, I became depressed, my energy level dropped, and I lost my appetite. I lost eleven pounds, which I didn’t need to lose. I felt so bad that I didn’t even feel like coming in for an adjustment when I could. Finally, I made it in and Dr. Johnson adjusted me. After a few adjustments I’m doing fine! My energy levels are back up; I feel better and have more ambition. Now I get up and do things around my house like cleaning. I’m sleeping better now too. I know how important it is to keep my adjustment appointments. The adjustments are helping the pain in my knee too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. Barbara Broughton, Macomb Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYNasty Back Pain Gone - Able To Enjoy Life AgainSeveral weeks ago I realized that I had a major problem with my back. It started slowly with a backache and progressed to the point that I couldn’t move or sit or even lie down comfortably. I had been Dr. Johnson’s patient for several years and then stopped getting regular adjustments. So I called him and came in. Dr. Johnson told me I had a sacroiliac problem. I began regular adjustments and soon was feeling better. Now, almost two months later I feel 15 years younger. I have no aches or pains and I feel great! My husband and I enjoy country western dancing. We have for the past 12 years. Now we can dance again. We go to a 2-hour dance class every week and now I’m enjoying it again. Coming to Dr. Johnson is a great experience that I highly recommend for everyone. He loves people and it shows. Patricia Badalamento, Washington Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYSerious Back Pain Removed and Will To Live RestoredThree months ago I fell. I fractured my ribs and hurt my hip. The pain got worse and I couldn’t sleep. It hurt to move or walk, and I couldn’t do many of my routine chores. Even the pain medications the doctor gave me didn’t work. I hurt so much that I didn’t care if I lived or died. My daughter has been coming to Dr. Johnson for a couple of years and she likes him. She brought me to see him when nothing was helping. After a thorough exam, Dr. Johnson adjusted me. Now I’ve been getting adjusted for a couple of months and I felt better after 2 weeks. Now I feel good! I want to live! I feel good and I can get back to my hobbies of crocheting and playing cards. Dorothy Dawood, Washington, MI
SUCCESS STORYChronic Neck Spasms and Weakness EliminatedI had come in to see Dr. Johnson after 3 weeks of a severe muscle spasm. I had gotten these spasms over the past five years, but they were becoming more frequent and more severe. After being treated by Dr. Johnson, not only did I start to feel relief, I began to “feel” better. I can walk taller, feel strength in my back and neck, and I can actually lift heavy items again. I actually feel healthy again. Thank you, Dr. Johnson and staff.
Jennifer Bowles, Clarkston, MI
SUCCESS STORY3 Year Old Shoulder Injury Handled with ChiropracticThree years ago I separated my shoulder. I went through physical therapy, but it still bothered me. Three or four months ago, my medical doctor suggested surgery on the shoulder. I didn’t want that! I’ve been seeing Dr. Johnson for several years. I told him about my shoulder and he adjusted it. One visit and my shoulder is better. Two minutes, that’s all it took! Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Wilson Born, Macomb Township, MI
SUCCESS STORY20 Year Long Battle With Sinus Problems Gone with ChiropracticI’ve suffered from seasonal allergies and sinus problems for twenty years. For several months Dr. Johnson treated me for allergies using Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) as well as Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA). These both worked for me and I improved; but I still had the sinus pain. Dr. Johnson suggested that I try some chiropractic adjustments and I agreed. After 3 or 4 adjustments I began to notice changes. The main change was that my sinus started draining. They drained constantly for about 5 days. Now my head is clear in the morning when I get up. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. I’m enjoying being free of the constant sinus pain. Amy Walsh, Troy, MI
SUCCESS STORYStudent Back & Neck Pain RelievedFor several years I’ve suffered from low back pain and neck problems. I carry a lot of books and a backpack for school and the weight is too much. My neck was always popping when I took a breath. My neck always hurt, there was always tension in my shoulders and neck, and it was hard for me to concentrate. My mom brought me to see Dr. Johnson several months ago. I’ve been getting regular adjustments and have noticed a big difference. Now I have no popping in my neck and I’m more relaxed. My back pain is gone and Dr. Johnson has taught me a lot about how to carry books and school stuff. I rarely carry a backpack now and when I do, there’s not much weight in it. I carry my books in my arms and keep my back straight. My spine is aligned and I want to keep it that way. Dr. Johnson has also helped me with my allergies, which are really bad. I’m allergic to cats, dogs, molds, trees, grass, pollen, and more. It’s really bad in the summer. I’m also allergic to milk and other foods. With Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET), I’m getting rid of allergies, too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. You’ve helped me a lot this past year. Amanda Bassett, Rochester, MI
SUCCESS STORYChildhood Asthma Better After First Adjustment!Since he was four months old, my son Nathan has suffered from severe asthma attacks, especially with colds. I would get up in the middle of the night to give him breathing treatments. For several months, Nathan has been treated for his allergies. His treatments have been quite successful, but he still was having asthma attacks. I got to the point where he was waking up every night with a coughing fit due to the asthma. I talked to Dr. Johnson about chiropractic adjustments. After his first adjustment, Nathan only had a couple of asthma attacks. Then after his second adjustment, Nathan only had one attack and it was so minor that I didn’t need to give him the complete breathing treatment. I am so happy the adjustments have helped. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help with Nathan. Christy Tuckfield, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORYBack Pain and Sinus Problems GoneFor over two months I had been suffering from back pain. In addition, my shoulder felt tight, my sinuses were congested, my ears crackled and I couldn’t hear very well. A friend told me about Dr. Johnson and I decided to give him a try. After my first adjustment, my sinuses drained. I went through a whole box of tissues, was able to breathe better and easier. So many things improved with the adjustments. I had better digestion, easier periods, better sleeping, and I can hear. I have three children (8-6-2) and between carrying kids and laundry my back really hurt. Not anymore. Dr. Johnson also suggested I try a special pillow, a buckwheat pillow. I love it! It’s firm enough for me and I can move the buckwheat hulls wherever I want them. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. I’m really doing so very much better. Ronda Carlson, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYHelp with Vertigo, Brain Fog, Neck Stiffness and HeadachesSeveral months ago I came to Dr. Johnson seeking help for my vertigo and brain fog. I’m a math tutor and had difficulty concentrating. Dr. Johnson told me that I had a heavy metal build up in my system. I took supplements and noticed a difference within a month. I felt more refreshed and it was easier to concentrate. But it wasn’t until I combined the nutrition with the chiropractic that I really noticed a difference. After my first adjustment, it was like euphoria. My vertigo cleared up and I could turn my head. Before the adjustments, I couldn’t turn my head around in the car to see my children in the back seat. Also, I couldn’t look up. Now I can do both. I have more flexibility in my neck and no more headaches. I’m really thankful that I found Dr. Johnson. He’s helping me and my family. Linda Chaloult, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYExcruciating Lower Back Pain That Medical Doctors Couldn't Help - Gone!Several weeks ago I suffered from severe, excruciating low back pain. I went to my rheumatoid arthritis doctor (MD), who gave me pain pills, recommended physical therapy, and told me to stay home from work. I’m a single person and sole support of myself so I can’t afford to miss work. I couldn’t work, bend, or function normally. I was in tears. I told my daughter, who is Dr. Johnson’s patient. She told me to see Dr. Johnson. I did and it was the best choice I ever made! Dr. Johnson and his staff treated me well. I had x-rays and exams and then Dr. Johnson explained to me that I suffered from pain in my sciatic nerve. He adjusted my spine and I felt better almost instantly. I’ve been getting regular adjustments and feeling better and better. I still have a little bit of pain, but I have been able to keep working. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for helping me get my life back. Mary Hintz, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYA couple of years ago I had some serious pain in my right side. I had difficulty walking and couldn’t sleep. I went to my MD who prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants. I went through three regimens of pills and was still in a lot of pain. My business partner is Dr. Johnson’s patient and recommended that I see him. I came in and discussed my problem with Dr. J. After the exam and x-rays, Dr. Johnson adjusted my spine. I couldn’t believe the difference! My pain was gone! Since then I’ve been coming regularly for adjustments. My pain is gone and I’ve been feeling great. I travel by car a lot. Recently I took a 5200 mile trip without any back problems. In one day I drove 1,025 miles from Terre Haute, IN to Tucumcari, NM with zero back fatigue. I do use the lumbar support when driving and I know that helps a lot. Thanks, Dr. J., I couldn’t have done it without you. Frank Perri, Royal Oak, MI
SUCCESS STORYMichael Zaverzence is a World War II veteran whose B-24 plane crashed. Four men died in the crash and three survived. Mike was a survivor — but one with many serious injuries. Injuries, both physical and mental, that took years to heal and pain that has never gone away. “My friend suggested that I see Dr. Johnson, that he might be able to help with the pain. He did. I’m still feeling pain, but it’s better. I like to get adjusted because it feels so good. I tingle all over. After each adjustment, I can stretch my neck and arms and my face feels nice. When Dr. Johnson adjusts my neck, I have more feeling in my arms and my whole body. Although I don’t have full movement on my right side, the adjustments help me move and stretch. With the adjustments I feel better and sleep better. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Johnson. If he didn’t help me, I wouldn’t come. Thanks for your help.” Michael Zaverzence, Shelby Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYRecently I was doing some household projects and I really overdid it. I was in a do-it-yourself mood and decided to stain my patio. I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees staining this patio. I consider myself in reasonably good shape. When I finished the patio, I played tennis for two and a half hours. Soon after, I found myself in a lot of pain. My shoulder hurt and my upper back and the pain went all the way down my arm to my hand, which became numb. I’ve been a patient here for several years. I called and came to see Dr. Johnson right away. He adjusted my neck and shoulder and I had instant relief! That’s right! One adjustment and I had instant pain relief. Dr. Johnson told me that my shoulder was misaligned. I’m really grateful to Dr. Johnson and all his help over the years; but this was the quickest pain relief I’ve felt and it was great. Heidi Kanan, Grosse Pointe, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy brother had a bone marrow transplant last week and I couldn’t go visit him because I felt sick and run down. I also had a sinus headache that wouldn’t go away. This was my first-ever sinus headache and I hope I never get any more. The headache lasted for over a week. I came in for my regular adjustment with Dr. Johnson and told him about my headache. He adjusted my neck and my headache went away. Now my sinuses are draining and I feel 100 per cent better. This occurred within ten minutes of my adjustment and my frontal sinus headache dissipated concurrently. The whole drainage process took about 3 hours. I realized that what got me into this mess in the first place was that I had put my supplements away (I usually keep them on the counter) because we were selling our house. During those few weeks before my headache, I missed a lot of my supplements because they weren’t in plain view. Soon I felt sick and my face broke out. The house is sold and the supplements are back on the counter and I haven’t forgotten to take them. I really do feel a lot better. And now, thanks to Dr. Johnson, my headache is gone too. L. N., Sterling Hgts., MI
SUCCESS STORYLast Labor Day I hurt my neck and shoulder. I was in a lot of pain. In fact, the only pain I had ever experienced that was as intense was labor and childbirth. The pain was really bad! I went to my medical doctor who prescribed muscle relaxants and pain pills. These affected me so that I couldn’t function — couldn’t go to work or drive. My husband’s friend was seeing a chiropractor in Grosse Pointe Woods and he recommended that I see Dr. Johnson here in Shelby. Since coming to Dr. Johnson, I have seen slow, steady improvement. I am continually getting better. Dr. Johnson checked me out and told me I had more problems than just my neck and shoulder. I was surprised to hear that, but am doing much better overall. I consider myself at 95%. I still have some minor neck pain. The worst of it is when I get my hair washed in the salon. I hate bending my neck backwards for a shampoo. But it keeps getting better. I also had high blood pressure and that has now normalized. I’ve enjoyed coming to Dr. Johnson. The staff has been great. They greet me by name and make it worth coming as often as I’ve had to. I was always skeptical about chiropractic; however, my husband talked me into coming here after I was injured. Now I’m glad he did. Jeri Burger, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYSeveral weeks ago I was shopping and when I finished, my arm became sore. Soon the pain increased to the point where my whole arm hurt from the shoulder to the fingers. I saw my medical doctor who told me I had tendonitis and prescribed some drugs, which helped some, but I was still in pain. I’ve been a patient here at the clinic for a long time. When I came in for my next appointment, I told Dr. Johnson about my arm. He showed me some exercises to do and in four weeks the pain was completely gone. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, I can always count on you. Edith Brissette, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor years I suffered from neck pain. When I was in school, my neck would always hurt so much that I would wish that it would go away. I was also having trouble with my knees hurting. I’m in marching band, playing the flute and piccolo, and I always had sore knees from marching. My mom comes to Dr. Johnson and brought me to see him for my knees. I started getting adjustments and soon I realized that my neck pain wasn’t as bad. Now it’s almost completely gone. And, I’m doing betting with my knees in marching band. Two years ago I marched in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and I was really sore. This year I’m in the parade again and I’m looking forward to my knees not hurting. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for making my life at school easier and teaching me that my neck pain was not normal. Becky Perzyk, Sterling Hgts., MI
SUCCESS STORYTwo years ago I slipped and fell under a desk. I really hurt my lower back. I spent a lot of time going to doctors to get some relief for the pain. I took all kinds of pain medication. One hospital even told me I had a tumor on my spinal cord. My left leg hurt so much that I couldn’t put any pressure on it. As a result, I developed a limp. Over ten years ago I had seen Dr. Johnson and my mother comes to him for her adjustments. I thought he might be able to help me when no one else could. I had heard good things about him and I decided to give it a shot. After my first visit, Dr. Johnson told me he knew exactly what was wrong — that my SI joint was locked. He adjusted me and I felt 100% better. The sharp stabbing pain was gone! I’ve had two adjustments now and the bad pain is gone. I’m still tender and sore, but I’m losing my limp and walking, sitting and standing so much better. If I had known this, I’d have come two years ago! Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for your help. Larry Ternes, Lapeer, MI
SUCCESS STORYLisa called in from our parking lot after her adjustment to tell us: I just had a phenomenal adjustment from Dr. Johnson! I have no neck pain, no restriction in my mobility. I haven’t been able to see behind me in a car for years. Now I can! This is GREAT! I feel like spitting nickels! I never had an adjustment like that before. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Lisa Nowinski, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor over five years I’ve suffered from severe migraine headaches. I went to all kinds of doctors, even neurologists. I’d have four to seven migraines each week and found it difficult to do most anything during a headache. I took all kinds of drugs hoping for relief, but I only felt worse, sometimes fuzzy, and the pain never totally went away. For years my friends who are Dr. Johnson’s patients tried to get me to come to him. Finally, I said, “What have I got to lose?” and made my appointment. I started getting adjusted and within 10 days I noticed a difference. I’ve only been coming for 3 weeks now, but I haven’t had a severe headache in one and a half weeks — a record for me. I’m really pleased with my care here and I look forward to feeling better and better. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Dianne McEwen, Macomb Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYFor five to six years I had suffered with low back pain and for two years with neck pain. It became so bad that I couldn’t do the things I love — working around the house, gardening, archery, and canoeing. I was really at my wits end. My wife has been coming to Dr. Johnson for some time. She strongly suggested that it would be a good idea for me to see Dr. Johnson and find out if he could help me. Well, I did and he could. That was four months ago. The progress has been slow but steady. After two months of adjustments I really noticed a difference. Now I can do all the things that I love without experiencing a lot of pain. The staff has been great. They bend over backwards to make appointments and to reschedule them when necessary. Everyone is so friendly, it’s a great place to come. I’ve recommended Dr. Johnson to my co-workers and I recommend him to you too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Paul Perzyk, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYLast November I was moving some x-ray films at work and hurt my back, neck and shoulder. The pain was so bad that I couldn’t do anything — cook, clean, do laundry, or even carry my 2-year-old daughter. I also had blinding headaches and my hand went numb. Since I work at a hospital, I was told to do what their doctors told me. So I took lots of drugs, had an EMG, and went to physical therapy twice a week for several weeks from December, 2001 to March, 2002. When the doctors told me I needed to take anti-depressants to combat the side effects of the drugs and the depression from not getting better, I said that was enough. My fiancé is Dr. Johnson’s patient and he told me to have Dr. Johnson check me out. Since I didn’t know where to turn, I came here. What a difference! I couldn’t believe it, but after my first adjustment, there was a big difference. I could easily turn my head (so driving became much easier), do laundry and cook again. Since beginning chiropractic care, my headaches have disappeared and I feel better than I did before my injury. I started coming three times a week and am now down to once a week. Dr. Johnson gave me exercises to do, and they have helped tremendously. I’ve recommended Dr. Johnson to my whole family and my friends. Lisa Brandenburg, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORY
I was a Chiropractic Skeptic Until
........
I was diagnosed with
severe anemia and ulcerated colitis.
I was very ill and
had no energy. My husband was aggressively searching for a nutritionist after
becoming totally fed-up with traditional medical treatments of drugs, more drugs
and drugs that might help with the colitis but might be toxic to my liver and
kidneys. We knew there had to be a better way. A very good friend saw how sick I had become and was very concerned. She made an appointment with Dr. Johnson for me. I agreed to keep the appointment, but only for his nutritional program, for I did not believe in chiropractic. I did not have any pain in my back and could not see how "cracking" my back could possibly help colitis. Today I feel better than I have in years. I am totally drug free. And the only side effects I have experienced under Dr. Johnson's care have been healthier skin, teeth and gums, stronger hair and nails, just healthier all around. When you feel good, you’re just naturally happier. To that my husband says "Thank you, Dr. Johnson." And I thank you too. Terri Colegrove, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYI’ve always gone to chiropractors, not regularly but only when I felt I needed to. I’d done housecleaning for years and I developed chronic neck pain. I woke up with a sore neck and it didn’t go away. I took all kinds of drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter. My sister was seeing Dr. Johnson and having a lot of success during her pregnancy with clearing up ailments. I knew I needed regular adjustments and found Dr. Johnson. I liked his payment plans because they enabled me to come in on a regular basis for a more affordable Dr. Johnson has been great. His adjustments have decreased my pain a lot. An adjustment will clear up any pain I have; and when it does come back, it’s never as bad as it used to be. I still get some tension in my neck but it’s not bad because my regular adjustments keep it under control. I know when I get an adjustment that I will be better. I like coming and I want to come for my adjustments. Dr. Johnson also helps me when I get colds with the supplements. I recommend him to everyone because I know he can help. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Rochelle Laszczak, Leonard, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy daughter Vicky has been coming to Dr. Johnson since last spring. She had been suffering from headaches since she was 6 and is 9 now. She felt bad, her head hurt all the time she told me. When I brought her to Dr. Johnson, I was pleased with the care given her. She was checked thoroughly and began having adjustments two or three times a week. Within a month her headaches subsided. In addition to this and along with the adjustments, Vicky’s energy levels increased. She had been suffering from low energy levels, far too low Now, Vicky has few if any headaches and a good energy level along with more endurance. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for helping my daughter as well as the rest of my family. Marie Schatz, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYI have two wonderful children and was
fortunate enough to receive chiropractic and nutrition care during both
pregnancies. Since I had been
coming to Dr. Johnson for two years before my son Phillip was born, I was
already familiar with chiropractic adjustments and the positive effect they
have. I had some morning sickness with both children, but I took some ginger on Dr.
Johnson’s advice and that helped.
My worst problem during both pregnancies was low back pain.
I really looked forward to each week’s visit to the clinic.
My adjustment helped me immensely.
Each week I could count on Dr. Johnson’s adjustment to ease the low back
pain and make me feel so much better.
When I had ear or sinus infections, Dr. J was right there with supplements to
help me through. When I felt weak,
Dr. J gave me special supplements to help build and strengthen my immune system.
He also gave me a great deal of information on pregnancy and delivery.
This helped my husband and I make decisions that affected how we handled
the delivery of our children. One
thing we did was not go to the hospital until labor was well advanced.
In fact, both children were born about 20 minutes after I got to the
hospital. They were both quick and
easy deliveries thanks to all the good care I had from Dr. Johnson. We also brought both children in to Dr. J for adjustments before they were
two weeks old. This helped them be
healthy. In fact, we all get
adjusted regularly. Whenever one
gets “under the weather,” we go to Dr. Johnson for care.
Both children are also being raised without dairy — we use soy milk or
Rice Dream. So following Dr. J’s advice on ginger, eating healthy, and getting regular
adjustments really helped me get through my pregnancies and deliveries.
And continuing care along with our children has made our family healthy
and happy. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Kyra Warda, New Baltimore, MI
SUCCESS STORYI can roll over and jump up! Not
much you say. Well, for over two
years I was in so much pain, had so many back spasms that in order to get up off
the floor (my favorite place for TV watching), I had to roll over slowly, get up
on hands and knees, steady myself and somehow push and pull myself up.
Now, after several months of adjustments with Dr. Johnson, I can quickly
roll over and jump up. I’ve suffered from severe low back pain and muscle spasms for over two years.
I came to Dr. Johnson to find some relief a few months ago.
Not only couldn’t I easily get up off the floor, getting out of bed was
also a problem. It was very painful
getting up each day. Now I have no
pain and get out of bed quickly each morning.
I still occasionally have some spasms and pain, but nowhere near what they
were and sometimes none at all. I’m
grateful to Dr. Johnson for all he has done for me.
I’ve heard a lot of people complain that chiropractic is no good,
ineffective. BUT I can honestly say
that IT WORKS. Yes, it works! David Nofz, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYI came to Dr. Johnson about five months ago.
I had been to one of his seminars and at the time I was looking for
someone who wouldn’t prescribe drugs.
I had been on so many for my blood pressure and my heart that I was fed
up. A friend of my daughter’s works for Dr. Johnson and recommended that I attend
one of his nutrition seminars, especially the one on heart problems and care.
My wife and I attended and some time later I decided to give Dr. Johnson
a try. My problem is that I’ve always felt good, even though I had to have
angioplasty for a blocked artery.
My cardiologist and my other doctor both put me on drugs for my heart, my high
cholesterol, and my high blood pressure.
I wanted to get off the drugs.
Then my cardiologist wanted to do another heart catherization.
I asked him if he did a bad job the first time!
I did not have it done. When I came to Dr. Johnson, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
My adjustments have helped immensely.
My blood pressure is now in the normal range and remains so.
Dr. Johnson and his staff were great.
They explained everything to me and made certain I understood it all.
Dr. Johnson is very educational.
I like that. Thanks, Dr. J. Jim Keller, Mt. Clemens, MI
SUCCESS STORYDr. J has asked me for
a success story, but I don't know where to begin. Do I begin with the added
energy I experienced even after just one visit? No, maybe I should talk about
the clearing of my sinuses and the fact that I can now breath freely through my
nose for the first time in memory. Or, maybe I should talk about my increased
mobility and ease of movement. (After only a few months’ of visits I can now
stand for longer than 5 minutes without experiencing back pain, a first since a
horse fell on me some 20 years ago.) Or I could talk about the improvement in my
migraine headaches, asthma and insomnia. But then, maybe I
should talk about Mama. She's 83 and has been pretty much bed-ridden for 2 years
as a result of an illness that was treated with high doses of steroids. Alter
Dr. J. did a CRA exam, he put her on some supplements to help her body repair
the damage done by the steroids. The results have been nothing short of
miraculous. She feels better, is more alert and interested in life, and in
general is on her way to becoming the interesting active person she was before
her illness. In addition to offering properly balanced nutritional supplements,
the doctor has been doing gentle adjustments to her back and neck. Her poor
“cricked up” back is stronger and more comfortable and, for the first time in
her life, her feet aren't cold. Do I recommend Dr.
Johnson? You bet! I am 52 years old, a full time professional in the high stress
field of data processing, and sole caregiver for my disabled mother. The
doctor's hours are convenient, his office staff is understanding and flexible,
and his treatment works. Since starting with Dr. J., I have more energy, I sleep
better, I'm less worded about my mother, and for the first time in a long while
I'm able to look to the future with hope and optimism. You do not have to have
such extreme problems to be helped by Dr. Johnson. Give him a try. You have
nothing to lose but your pain and discomfort. E.H., Royal Oak, MI
SUCCESS STORYI was suffering from severe pain in the back of my left hip whenever I moved. This was very difficult for me because I had already had both of my hips replaced. One replacement was 19 years old and the other was 20 years old. To be honest, I was quite afraid that I would have to have my left hip replaced again. I waited for two weeks in severe pain. Finally, as a last resort, I called Dr. Johnson and decided to come in for an adjustment. I have been getting regular adjustments since 1992 and I thought maybe Dr. Johnson could help me. Dr. Johnson adjusted my left sacroiliac joint and the pain left immediately. I don’t need to have any surgery! I’ve learned my lesson. Next time I have any pain, I’ll call immediately rather than wait for my regular adjustment and worry. D.C., Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYOver the past two year ago I fell
several times and developed pain in my leg and low back.
My daughter suggested that I come to Dr. Johnson.
She and her husband come and highly recommend Dr. Johnson. I’m improving steadily and grateful
to Dr. Johnson and his staff for all their help. Cecil Harrison, Clinton Township, MI
SUCCESS STORY
I was skeptical when I first came to see Dr. Johnson, but my wife was already a practice member and I thought it might help. I had three major problem areas: my lower back was inflamed most of the time; my middle back was tight; and my neck had limited mobility. I suffered from various aches and stiffness as a result of my working at desk and computer all day. After four months of adjustments, I can honestly say that I have no inflammation in my lower back; there is more range of motion in my middle back; and my neck has only localized periodic stiffness. In addition, Dr. Johnson also adjusted my little finger, which was displaced and has arthritis. It is much better with the adjustments. When my boss asked me where I was going today, I told him that I was going to the chiropractor. He asked if it did any good and I told him how much better I feel. I really believe in the benefits of regular chiropractic adjustments now. L.Z., Macomb, MI
SUCCESS STORYI first came to Dr. Johnson in early May of ’99 on a friend’s recommendation. I had injured my back lifting my briefcase. Since I’m stubborn and don’t like to go to M.D.’s, coming to Dr. Johnson was a good choice. By the time I came in, I was having shooting pains in my leg and difficulty walking. By the third week of care I noticed a substantial difference. I had less pain, it was easier to get up and stand, and I had more mobility. I was surprised because I had not realized how stiff I was — not only my back but also my neck. As a result of my care with Dr. Johnson, I can now do more. I play golf once or twice a week and it is easier and more comfortable now. I see continual improvement each week and am now able to do all that I want to do without discomfort and aches and pains (yoga, walking, yard work, public speaking, etc.). Things are easier for me and I’m less fatigued. This was not possible before chiropractic and Dr. Johnson. As a working mother with a teenage daughter, I can only say “Thank You, Dr. Johnson” for all you’ve done for me. M.B., Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor over six years, I had been
suffering from dizziness and leaning.
I also had to live with headaches every day. My medical doctors had attributed my problems to my diabetes,
so I thought I had to live with it.
Then my daughter convinced my wife to bring me to see Dr. Johnson.
The people here were professional and friendly.
I was given an exam and had everything explained by Dr. Johnson. Soon after getting regular
adjustments, I realized that I wasn’t dizzy anymore.
I’m beginning to feel better all over and have more energy too. Eugene C. Allen, Madison Hgts., MI
SUCCESS STORYFor over a year I suffered from severe pain in my upper back, especially in the mornings when I first got up. I’ve been getting adjustment from Dr. Johnson for about three months now and my back pain is almost gone. Dr. Johnson told me that there is a little inflammation left, but I am constantly improving. I was so happy with my care that I brought both my boys in. One son has suffered from asthma and many related symptoms and the other son has had many ear infections and spent a lot of time on antibiotics. Since coming to Dr. Johnson, both boys have improved dramatically. I can’t thank Dr. Johnson enough for all his help. I’d certainly recommend him to everyone. S.M., Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy sons Mathew and Michael both started seeing Dr. Johnson in March of 1999. Michael suffered from asthma, nervousness, anxiety, and allergies. I’d had him on many different prescriptions for all his problems, from pills to shots to inhalers. Now, two months later, he is a new child. The asthma is gone for all practical purposes. He started acting like he was going to have an asthma attack a few weeks ago and I brought him to Dr. Johnson. Within five minutes of having an adjustment, Michael was his old self again and he had no attack. He is now in control of himself. His nervousness is gone and he is much happier and healthier. Mathew has suffered from ear infections since he was a baby. For the past two years he has been on antibiotics several times. He also wanted his back rubbed often and for long periods. Apparently, it hurt him. Since starting chiropractic care, Mathew doesn’t need so many back rubs and for much shorter periods. He is also off his prescriptions. Now he takes his supplements and is much healthier. Thanks Dr. Johnson for the great work with my boys. I would certainly recommend you and your clinic to everyone. S.M., Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYAfter years of misuse, I had a “bad back”! The worst was driving. I could drive for two or three hours, but my back pain became severe. I told Dr. Johnson about my upcoming trip to Colorado and all the driving I was going to have to do. Dr. Johnson let me borrow a back (lumbar) support pillow for sitting and driving. I couldn’t believe it. I drove 12 hours a day and had NO BACK PAIN! In fact, my back felt better than normal. There was no numbness or pain during my trip. When I returned, I bought a lumbar support and use it regularly for sitting and driving. I really am impressed. I would certainly recommend the supports for anyone who has a bad back or who does a lot of driving. You’ll feel better and be happier. Since coming to Dr. Johnson, I have improved in three areas: Flax seed oil cleared up my face, adjustments have improved my back, and the lumbar support has enabled me to drive for long periods of time. M.B., Sterling Hgts, MI
SUCCESS STORYI was always tired — to the degree that a five-day work week was nearly
impossible. Being too tired had
become my personal motto! Although
I hadn’t visited too many doctors, I had tried several brands of vitamins. A
close friend, who had recently been helped by Dr. Johnson, highly recommended
his care. I was
very skeptical, but seeing the
difference in my friend’s health was convincing!
Dr. Johnson and his staff are very personable.
I started with nutrition, so the first tests were Contact Reflex
Analysis. The computer test and x-rays were done quickly and
professionally. The most impressive
thing about the tests was the length of time Dr. Johnson spent explaining
exactly what they meant.
After three weeks of the supplements and one week of chiropractic care, I felt
great!! I feel like I have energy again — it has been so long — it’s
a new feeling! (I still don’t care
for the five-day work week though — too many things to do!) I’ve been recommending Dr. Johnson and chiropractic. I have already recruited my sister. It’s important to me that she feels good during her retirement. She and her husband are our vacation traveling companions!
G.M., Attica, MI
SUCCESS STORYI was suffering from temperature
fluctuations, headaches, backaches and irritablebowel
syndrome. I had seen my family
physician, who was helpful but was not a turning point for me.
He had given me muscle relaxants and pain pills, but that didn’t work. I was in pain again four hours later. So I asked a lot of questions and decided to try Dr. Johnson
after one of his patients told me about him. My exam was thorough. Many tests were done and x-rays were taken.
I was skeptical, but I decided to give chiropractic a try.
I started about four months ago and after three visits I was definitely
improving. Then Terri convinced me
that CRA was the way to go to see further improvements.
And both the adjustments and the nutrition counseling have helped me
attain a 90% improvement. I love to do my “sit-ups” and now I
can do them much better. Every
night I do 90 sit-ups in three or so minutes.
I’m more limber and agile now and definitely “sharp as a tack”!
Thanks Dr. J.
SUCCESS STORYI originally came to Dr. Johnson on the recommendations of both my husband
and a friend because I had a sleep
problem. But he has helped me with
far more than just my sleep problem. I’d had a sleep problem all my life.
I just couldn’t sleep. I’d
go for over a week without sleeping.
The doctors all gave me sleep drugs and anti-depressant drugs, and muscle
relaxants, and more. Going through
menopause at the same time complicated all this.
However, nothing worked. I
just couldn’t sleep. Naturally, I
became desperate and I didn’t want to be on drugs anymore! After just three weeks of supplements and adjustments, I slept. It was May 20, 2000 and the first time in three and a half years that I slept through the night. Oh, I awoke a couple of times, but this time I was able to return to sleep quickly. It used to be that about 3:00 p.m. I would start worrying about whether or not I would be able to sleep. Now I don’t. For years my doctor has had me taking calcium carbonate.
I developed “phantom” pain in my ribcage, from my shoulder to my elbow —
actually, I hurt from my waist up.
Dr. Johnson switched me to Cal-Ma Plus, and after one day the pain was gone and
hasn’t returned. I couldn’t believe
that the difference in the types of calcium could affect one so.
Now my neck is better too. Some other positive changes include following the blood type diets.
I gave up wheat, diet pop, and most of my coffee.
The result was that I lost 31 pounds and now feel so much better.
I exercise every day now too. When I decided to come to Dr. Johnson, I made the decision that I’m worth
every penny that I will have to spend to get well.
Our insurance didn’t cover any of the costs here at the clinic.
But…I wanted to get healthy, feel good and function normally again.
The financial investment and the time investment have been well worth it.
I’m very, very pleased! The
staff is wonderful and I can’t tell people enough about Dr. Johnson.
I share his card with everyone I meet. Mary Wade, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor 15 plus years I suffered from extremely severe migraine-like headaches. Sometimes they were so bad that I would vomit for hours. They sapped all my energy and often I could not function normally at all. This whole thing impacted my family, friends, my marriage, my work and my fun! I had seen many doctors, had MRI’s and lots of different tests done.
I saw my family physician, allergist, ENT specialist, and a surgeon.
They put me on lots of drugs, shots, antibiotics, etc.
When I had just about reached my end and was ready to try anything, my friend
recommended Dr. Johnson. Dr.
Johnson and his staff were great.
They were very thorough — x-rays, handgrip, foot weight, bending, etc. Dr. Johnson told me that my problem was my neck, not my head.
The adjustments started helping immediately.
Then, when I added nutrition to the program, good things really began
happening. I’ve been with the clinic since March 1996 and I can honestly recommend Dr.
Johnson’s care to others. It can
help restore the natural energy that is in all of us.
No one should have to go through what I went through for way too many
years. Dr. Johnson and his staff
really care about their patients. B.W., Troy, MI
SUCCESS STORY
I’m a
college student and was having a rough time each month at my period.
I’d miss school each month because I was in such immobilizing pain.
It was affecting not only my life but also my studies. Since
I had been suffering from headaches and shoulder pain as well as problems with
my neck from spending so much time on the computer, I came to see Dr. Johnson.
The adjustments have helped that a lot, but the big change has been in my
monthly periods. My
first period after I started getting adjusted was better and since then there
has been steady improvement. And
THAT has been the most amazing thing!
Now I don’t have all the pain I had before, I’m not missing classes and I
feel so much better. Thanks, Dr.
J. C.K., Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYIn 1996 I decided that I wasn’t happy with the chiropractor I was going to.
When I met Dr. Johnson at a nutrition seminar he gave at Shelby Junior
High School, I found I liked him a lot.
So I decided to switch. Since becoming a regular chiropractic practice member, I find I’m not sick as
much. I’m healthier and so is my
family, who also come to Dr. Johnson.
I used to suffer from low back and shoulder pain, but that has subsided
substantially since getting regular adjustments. I was also feeling tired and fatigued. After Dr. Johnson used the CRA (Contact Reflex Analysis)
testing and recommended certain supplements, my problems cleared right up. My family and I are all living a healthier lifestyle now.
We’ve changed our diet to include more fruits and veggies and less junk
food. I joined Life Time Fitness
Center and work out three times a week.
I’m feeling much better and my children are not sick nearly as much as
our relatives and their friends. I’m happy to recommend Dr. Johnson to all my friends and acquaintances.
Thanks, Dr. J. Rick Olejniczak, Sterling Heights, MI

SUCCESS STORYDr. Johnson Heals My Health Problems and Does Not Mask Them with Drugs or SurgeryI have been seeing Dr. Johnson for more than 10 years. He has helped my body heal from sore throats to psoriasis and, most recently, the pain of carpal tunnel. So, recently, after encouraging a neighbor to see Dr. Johnson after having a failed back surgery, I couldn’t help but wonder why someone wouldn’t try the least invasive and least expensive way to heal first? I had encouraged my neighbor to try chiropractic before her surgery, but had no success in persuading her to start chiropractic. I have many friends that I know would benefit from seeing Dr. Johnson, and, sometimes, I worry that they are sick of hearing from me about it. I can only guess, because I’m no psychologist, but consciously or unconsciously, they do not want to participate in their own healing. They want something outside of themselves- like a pill or a surgeon- to do all the work- someone to fix it for them. If there is one thing I’ve learned over the last ten years, it’s that Dr. Johnson has the skills and knowledge to heal others, but, without my participation, nothing is going to happen. Good health is really a life style and Dr. Johnson is the best teacher for it. -Patricia Tischbein, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYDr. Johnson's Healing Methods Work!Approximately seven years ago, I became a patient of Dr. Johnson. I was experiencing chronic sinus problems and it looked like I would need to undergo sinus surgery. I did not want to have surgery and, therefore, I sought alternative healing. Dr. Johnson set me on a course to healing with supplements and allergy eliminations! My sinus problems and allergies are now very mild and easily controlled. I am a firm believer in the healing methods Dr. Johnson recommends and, I tell everyone I know who is seeking alternative healing, to come see Dr. Johnson! I view Dr. Johnson as a friend and someone I can trust! -Pamela W. Beck, Macomb, MI
SUCCESS STORYDon’t Be A Skeptic, It Really Does Work!I started going to Dr. Johnson a little over 5 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I had always been interested in maintaining good health, eating right, and exercising. I had developed a curiosity in alternative/nontraditional medicine. However, I pursued a serious interest when I became a family member at the Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center of Shelby Township when I learned that the body really does heal itself if we allow it to. I came to Dr. Johnson’s office complaining of being run down and tired all the time. Holidays became a drag because I always got sick after all the hustle and bustle of preparing for them. I had moderate to severe allergies. I got one sinus infection after another and was constantly on antibiotics for them as well as for having multiple ear infections. The postnasal drip and constant clearing of my throat was annoying to say the least. Initially, I took advantage of the services offered in Nutrition using NAET. I exclaimed to Dr. Johnson that I didn’t have a thing wrong with my back and didn’t require any adjustments! Being very patient, Dr. Johnson didn’t push me to start treatment, but, Dr. Johnson allowed me the space to evolve until I decided to take action. The rest is history. I feel better now and have more energy than ever before. I haven’t been to an M.D. other than annual wellness exams with the exception of one visit in the past 5 years, and, I have only had to take an antibiotic once in 5 years! I stay healthy by following the individualized nutrition regimen that Dr. Johnson prescribes for me using Standard Process and Medi-herb L supplements. Whenever I become skeptical over whether or not I should be taking all of the supplements recommended, I look at my before and after lab work. My physician has even telephoned me at home to tell me that my routine lab work came back “perfect! The numbers speak for themselves. I believe in this course of health maintenance and have referred my mother, husband, granddaughter and several friends to Dr. Johnson over the years. I am an enthusiastic proponent of Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center and spread the word of my successful outcomes. All we chiropractic family members can do is plant the seed and hope it sprouts eventually: IT REALLY DOES WORK! -Patricia Fields, Washington, MI
SUCCESS STORYRedness Gone, Bumps ReducedI 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. -Blair A. Myers, Clinton Township, MI
SUCCESS STORY“Congestive Heart Failure” is History!My father, Robert Kopitz, was at death’s door. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure (a catch-all term doctors use to describe that his heart was failing for reasons they could not determine). His ejection fraction (or amount of blood expelled with each heart beat) was down to 25%. After less than two months of treatment by Dr. Johnson, his ejection fraction was tested at 60% which is better than the normal rate of 50%! On his first day, my dad’s heart function was rated a 2 out of a 12 scale. He is now testing at 11 on the 12 scale. My father no longer uses the wheelchair and now only needs his cane. He now walks unassisted. Also, my father has a Vitamin B allergy. Vitamin B is essential to heart function. My father would have died in days or weeks without Dr. Johnson’s intervention. Dr. Johnson has helped me and my family too. -Bruce Kopitz, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYI Can Touch My Toes and Grow My Bones!I have been a chiropractic and nutritional patient of Dr. Johnson’s since 1996. In August of 2007, I had a bone density scan as recommended by my M.D. The bone density tests of the spine showed osteoporosis and the bone density levels of the wrist were close to osteopoenia. The M.D. prescribed Fosamax, as well as recommending nutritional supplements and exercise. I did not want to take Fosamax due to its side effects, but I did start taking Magnesium, Calcium, and Vitamin D. After consulting with Dr. Johnson about my condition, he informed me of the benefits of Whole Body Advanced Vibration Exercise (WAVE) in building bone density. I started WAVE therapies in November and used the machine three times a week for 4 months. My follow-up bone scan showed an increase of 1.9% bone density in the spine! This is now just osteopoenia, and not osteoporosis. The wrist bone scan is now normal density also! Other benefits that I have noticed from using the Wave are: I have more energy, I can touch my toes (which I could not even do as a child), and I have firmed up all over my body. I will be continuing on with this type of exercise as I love the results! -Aline Colbert, Washington Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYFrequent Migraine Headaches Ended!I would like to give you a great big hug and thank-you for the wonderful care that I have always received here at the wellness center. When I first came to your office, I was a little skeptical about the need for Chiropractic care. You hear so much from people who don’t know the benefits of Chiropractic care and start to believe that you will never need it either. But, I definitely did. Before coming to the clinic, I had experienced frequent migraines and neck pain with chronic insomnia. I had missed a lot of work and had seen many neurologists and to no avail. I also received paralytics that were injected into my head to numb the right side of my head so that the pain would not be so bad so that I could continue to work and support my family. I received multiple injections and tried just about every migraine medication on the market. I was desperate for help. I had frequent ER visits, and, one episode I was up for 5 days with pain so intense I could not sleep without strong prescription sleeping medication. My body just would not sleep. A friend at my church recommended Dr. Johnson. I was hoping Dr. Johnson would find something the others had not. Dr. Johnson told me that I had heavy metal toxicity and TMJ with subluxation to my neck. I also forgot to mention another problem I had which was weekly menstrual periods that were left uncorrected by progesterone from the ob-gyn. After 2 weeks of adjustments by Dr. Johnson, my weekly periods had stopped and had normalized! And my sleeping slowly started improving with NAET treatments and supplements. Dr. Johnson had explained that my head was in vasospasm. Because of Dr. Johnson’s diagnosis, I was able to get the corrective TMJ splint that I needed to stop the continued vasospasm in my head. I truly believe that if I had not been seen by Dr. Johnson I would still be suffering at a magnitude too much to continue working. I am so grateful to Dr. Johnson for staying in this profession. This is one of those life experiences that you are very grateful that you had experienced. And, I am truly a believer in Jesus Christ and that he causes all things to work for our good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose. And through this experience, I have seen the goodness in others like Dr. Johnson sacrificing their time to help others which has been a blessing to me. And, in return, I have a greater compassion through the pain I suffered for those who are suffering too, which causes me to do more for others and go that extra mile to be a blessing to others. In return, life is so much more rewarding now for me. I work in one of the biggest hospitals in the state and I see a lot of suffering. I tell many people about Dr. Johnson and the benefits that I have experienced. I tell a friend and she tells her father in law and so forth. I just print off their website page and hope they will get the help they need too. I truly believe that Dr. Johnson is an answer to my prayer and my family’s prayers. God bless you Dr. Johnson! And, I would like to sincerely say, “Thank-You!” from the bottom of my heart... I will always be thankful to you and your kind staff for all the benefits that I have experienced through your care. You truly are a Godsend... Sincerely, Lisa Sack, Clawson, Michigan
SUCCESS STORYDr. Johnson Made Sure That I Didn’t Wait Until It Was Too LateI 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! -Rose Capozzoli, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYNo 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.
Most Sincerely, Joan Croft
SUCCESS STORYNutrition WorksFor 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. Connie Schultz, Macomb Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYAir Conditioning SensitivitySeveral weeks ago I came to Dr. Johnson for headaches I was having. At my examination he told me I suffered from allergies and I began to get treated for them. I was having headaches when the air conditioning was on and on one of my visits, I told Dr. Johnson. He asked me to soak a rag in water in the room by the air conditioner then bring it in. When he checked me, I was allergic to the soaked rag. He treated me for this allergy. Now I can tolerate an increase of heat and don’t have the headaches the air conditioner was causing. In addition, I don’t have to have the air conditioning on as much as I did. Now it switched and it bothers me if it’s too cold. Dr. Johnson’s helped me a lot. It really pays to tell the doctor all your problems, even something seemingly insignificant can be related somehow. Then he can help you. Scott Kubica, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYThe Non-Existent Inner Ear ProblemI have been seeing a chiropractor (not Dr. Karl) for four years for herniated and degenerative discs in my back/neck area. My doctor referred me to physical therapy last summer (2005). While there, one of the machines kept malfunctioning (where the head part would stick and not slide back and forth) while the body kept sliding. I began experiencing dizziness. I had dizziness when standing, and even when I was lying in bed and turned my head ever so slightly, the room would begin to spin. I visited many doctors over the past year — my chiropractor, two internists, a masseuse, etc. They all told me it had to be an inner ear problem and that I should see an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist. I am a new patient of Dr. Karl and when I mentioned this problem to him, he knew right away what to do. He adjusted my occiput. The dizziness has completely disappeared. I feel like a new person thanks to Dr. Karl. (By the way, I did go to my appointment with the ENT and he told me there was nothing wrong with my inner ear or hearing; and if I experienced dizziness again, to make another appointment with him.) If it had not been for Dr. Karl, I have no doubt that I would still be having dizziness today. Karen Novak, Troy, MI
SUCCESS STORYFibromyalgia ImprovesFor many years I would try to exercise. I would go work out or take a long walk, but my fibromyalgia always got in the way. I would be in pain and hurt for a week after exercising — not just achy, but pain. Since coming to Dr. Johnson and working with the supplements and allergy elimination, I can walk with no pain. I might be a little achy when I’m done, but it doesn’t last and I’m feeling so much better. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Heather Shinsky, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYSaved from the BitesMy son Nolan had severe red welts on his body from insect bites. They lasted for four days. He was miserable the whole time. I brought him to Dr. Johnson, who did allergy eliminations treatments for insects on Nolan. Within 24 hours his welts were gone. He has been bitten by mosquitoes since then, but he didn’t have any welts or other reactions. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Holly Zabel, Clarkston, MI
SUCCESS STORYA Natural Health Extreme Makeover!
Hi Dr. Johnson,
This is for all the women out there who's ways
of thinking need to expand beyond the horizons of genetics and my mom and
grandma "had it" mentality.
Since I've started seeing Dr. Johnson in
January 2006, I feel like my life went from looking out the window of a fish
bowl to swimming freely in the ocean. Everything in my life looks different.
From the moment I wake in the morning, to when I lay my head to sleep. I am a
different woman, a better woman/mom for my family and especially my kids.
Before I started seeing Dr. Johnson, I was
taking medication for anxiety, and before that, it was medication for
depression. I just couldn't get on top of things. Always feeling overwhelmed,
always yelling, angry, fatigued and frustrated. Like I was on a full time ride
of PMS. And during the times of PMS, well, we won't go there....not a pretty
sight. But I thought this was the way things were, being a mother of 3
young children and being a stay home mom, my OB/Gyn would just tell me that my
hormones were out of sorts from having the kids. That medication would get me
back on track. But years went by and I was still looking for that track to
peace of mind. To feel happy and whole and content. I was taking medication
for roughly 6 years, but not anymore. Not a single pill. Just my whole food
supplements from Standard Process®.
I started seeing Dr. Johnson for excessive
hair loss and nail damage. I noticed my hair falling out more and more,
especially in the shower. I knew something wasn't right. MD doctors said it
was changes in hormones. They said the same thing about my nails, which I had
a problem with them lifting from the nail beds and they were very thin and
brittle. Very painful. But that was hormonal too, and with time it would
correct itself. But I wasted enough time, and took the advice of a good
friend who had already been seeing Dr. Johnson. So, with phone number in hand,
I called and made the appointment.
Funny how you don't really think about things
that you are so used to in your life until you're given a questionnaire to fill out.
Such as problems sleeping, staying asleep, or even falling asleep. Or sugar
cravings, night sweats, hands and feet cold all the time. Cravings in the
middle of the night.
I suffered from all of these things but not
anymore. Not since I've seen Dr. Johnson.
I sleep better than ever now. I used to
take sleeping caplets every night faithfully. But I don't need to anymore. And
as for the nails, well, I'm 40 years old and I've had acrylics and gels and
fiberglass nails on and off since I was 18 years old. Mainly to hide my nails
cause I could not grow them alone. I now have my OWN nails. Natural and
growing beautifully. And I am so ecstatic over them!!! But one of the
biggest changes is that fact that there is no more PMS in my life. My life is
balanced and happy. No highs and lows. Balanced. What a wonderful, free
feeling. Yeah, I still yell at my kids. But my head doesn't feel like its
going explode. It's all good/great!!!
We are still working on the hair issue, but
its much better. Almost back to normal.
I really owe Dr. Johnson all the thanks in
the world.
I'm positive, that he can make a positive
change for you, too.

SUCCESS STORYNAET Allergy Elimination Documented With Medical Allergy TestingI’ve suffered from allergies for years and gotten injections for them too. Every couple of years my allergy medical doctor insists on redoing the scratch tests and the injection tests. I told Dr. Johnson about my allergies and that I didn’t think the shots were helping and he suggested trying NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques). I agreed and I worked with both the injections and the NAET treatments. Recently, I had the scratch test repeated and nothing showed up. According to the medical doctor, my allergies are gone. Dr. Johnson said that I still have molds and other similar environmental thing to clear. I trust the NAET and Dr. Johnson. He’s really made a difference in my life. Anita Zinzi, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYSupplements Saved My LIfeThis 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. Connie Curtis, Romulus, MI
SUCCESS STORYChiropractic & Nutrition Put Me Back in the GardenFor over a year I suffered from leg cramps at least twice a night. My medical doctor told me to take some calcium — that any kind would do. I got some calcium supplements at the store, but they didn’t help. My friend recommended that I see Dr. Johnson for that and the pain in my back. I came in for chiropractic care and told Dr. Johnson about my problem. In addition to the adjustments, he also recommended that I take special calcium that was more absorbable — Standard Process® Calcium Lactate®. He also told me that cod liver oil would help. I tried the cod liver oil gels but they bothered my stomach. Then I tried the Standard Process® Tuna Omega Oil® gels. They work fine and I’m doing much better. I’ve also had low back pain for a long time. I’m a Master Gardener and it was increasingly difficult to work in my gardens. By my sixth visit I was doing so much better. I’m sleeping through the night without any leg cramps and my low back pain is almost gone. I’m looking forward to spring and my gardens again. I’m happy to recommend Dr. Johnson to everyone. Thanks, Dr. J. Barbara Sztaba, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYColds Get ZappedI 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. Laurie Capoferi, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYWalking without PainFor many years I would try to exercise. I would go work out or take a long walk, but my fibromyalgia always got in the way. I would be in pain and hurt for a week after exercising — not just achy, but pain. Since coming to Dr. Johnson and working with the supplements and allergy elimination, I can walk with no pain. I might be a little achy when I’m done, but it doesn’t last and I’m feeling so much better. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Heather Shinsky, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYLactose Intolerance GONE with NAETFor many years I thought I was lactose intolerant. Every time I would eat milk or cheese products, I would suffer from an upset stomach, even diarrhea sometimes. But then I came to Dr. Johnson. After a careful exam, Dr. Johnson told me I had food allergies. I’ve been treated for several things including milk and dairy. I was afraid to try them at first, but now have had milk on my cereal without any problems and also other dairy foods. And no problems. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, NAET is a great thing! James Gerjekian, Macomb, MI
SUCCESS STORYMigraine Headaches Now a Distant MemoryMy son Austin suffered from migraine headaches every day. Two or three times a week they would be so bad that he would throw up. He had been to an allergy MD and did shots, but they didn’t work. A friend recommended Dr. Johnson. When Dr. Johnson examined Austin, he found more than just the allergies that Austin had been treated for. Austin started NAET treatments and soon we began to notice a difference. Austin’s headaches subsided until now when he rarely has any. Austin says that he can’t remember when he had his last headache. Austin also started receiving chiropractic care for some leg pain. Dr. Johnson said that Austin had a compressed vertebra that was causing the low back pain and the leg pain. The adjustments have really helped that too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. Laura LaBroski, Almont, MI
SUCCESS STORYAugmenting Medical Cancer Treatment withNutritional Support to Good OutcomeDr. 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. Gina M Sikon, Warren, MI
SUCCESS STORYIncurable Hives and Allergies Handled withDesigned Clinical Nutrition and NAETOn July 27, 2004, I was at a meeting and had pizza for dinner, and then I broke out in a rash. From there it was all downhill. I developed hives and itchiness all over my body. That sent me to many doctors to find a cure. I saw my family doctor, then I saw two different allergists and ended up at the University of Michigan. I was in the emergency room three times because I couldn’t breathe. The doctors at U of M told me that it could go away in two weeks, or maybe two months, or maybe two years, or maybe never. In other words, they didn’t know what was causing the hives and itchiness. At this point a friend of mine referred me to Dr. Johnson. I came to Dr. Johnson a little over four months ago. He checked me out using muscle testing and recommended several supplements and allergy elimination treatments. I was ready to try anything to get some relief. What a difference! I haven’t had any hives or severe itchiness in seven weeks. It’s amazing! I’m really grateful to Dr. Johnson for all his help and I highly recommend him. Michael Scott, Clinton Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYMenstrual Cycle Normalized, Reduced Acne and Emotional StabilitySince Starting Personalized Nutrition ProgramDear Dr. Johnson, I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to have found you! It’s really thanks to my mother-in-law, Mary Ellen (Thanks mom!)!! Since diagnosed with PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, I have felt lost and scared of the disorder. You were very confident when I first met with you and that helped me a great deal. Since I have been taking the supplements you subscribed and changed my eating habits, I have noticed a world of difference. I have regular menstrual cycles, my acne is improving and my emotions are much more balanced! I am even slowly losing weight! Thank the lord! If I don’t take my supplements, my mood goes up and down, I gain weight, and my periods are irregular if they even come at all. Thank you for helping me balance my health and work towards a permanent healthier me! Thank you also for your referral for my new doctor in Phoenix, AZ. Since we recently moved, I was afraid to be without an experienced doctor such as yourself. I am really looking forward to continuing my treatment for the rest of my life! Thanks Dr. Johnson! You are not only a charming man but a wonderful doctor! Sincerely, Brooke Van Slembrouck Previously of Rochester, MI now living in Tucson, AZ
SUCCESS STORYDropped 2 Dress Sizes, Increased Energy, No Hungerwith Personalized Nutrition ProgramDr. 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
SUCCESS STORYCholesterol and Triglycerides Lowered with Nutrition ProgramLast 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. Diane Radtke, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYInsomnia and Exhausted Adrenals ImprovingI 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. Jackie Self, Washington, MI
SUCCESS STORYMotion Sickness Gone with NAETFor years, ever since I can remember, I have suffered from motion sickness. I could never ride in the back of a car, I always had to drive. If I was in the front seat, I couldn’t even turn around to look in the back seat without getting sick. When our children were little, my husband had to ride in the back with them. I couldn’t. I told Dr. Johnson about my problem and he suggested that I get an allergy elimination (NAET) treatment for it. I wasn’t sure it would work; after all, I had had the problem all my life! But I agreed to try it. What a change. I had the NAET treatment. Then I tested it out. I rode in the back seat — I was okay. On a return trip from up north, I read a book. Wow! I didn’t get sick. It’s so great that I don’t have to drive all the time now. Thanks Dr. J. Linda Chaloult, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYEczema, Low Energy and Food AllergiesTaken Care of With NAET, Personalized Nutrition and Diet ChangesWhen 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. Liliana Sirbu, Rochester, MI
SUCCESS STORYPoison Ivy Sensitivity Gone with NAETEverywhere I went I got poison ivy — all the time — for years! I carried special creams and Fels-Naphtha Soap with me all the time. Every trip, every vacation — I always ended up with poison ivy. I told Dr. Johnson about my problem and he suggested we try some allergy elimination on it. He checked me and I was allergic to both poison ivy and poison oak. It took two treatments and it was all gone. This past summer we went vacationing and biking and I didn’t get any poison ivy. It was really great! Thanks, Dr. J. Pat Newman, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYRash Helped with Special ProductRecently 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. Lorraine Rosebrugh, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORYTeeth Were Turning Black - Now WhiteTwo 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. Terri Farrar, St. Clair Shores, MI
SUCCESS STORYChronic Ear & Respiratory Infections - Even After Ear Tubes - GONEMy 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. Julie Meredith, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYChronic Fatigue and Allergies on the MendI had been feeling extremely weak and fatigued and knew I was not well. My husband’s aunt suggested I see Dr. Johnson, which I did. Several months ago when I started seeing Dr. Johnson, he told me after my exam that I had a lot of health challenges, including adrenal fatigue and allergies. We started working with supplements and allergy elimination, especially since my allergies contributed to my sinus and ear problems. Dr. Johnson suggested I get some massage work done from Marge Grasel, his massage therapist. I took his advice and during my massage Marge used reflexology and suggested that I have Dr. Johnson check my thyroid. I told Dr. Johnson about this and he did. My thyroid was really bad. I started taking thyroid supplements and soon I was feeling so much better. I have more energy and am not fatigued like I was. My mom has thyroid problems and is on drugs for her condition. She went through a lot of adjustments to her medication before it was right. Dr. Johnson started me on supplements to help my thyroid and I haven’t had to go through all the adjustment that my mom did. The supplements worked right away. I still have many allergies to clear before I’m 100%, but Dr. Johnson is helping me regain my health and I feel so much better already. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Ginger Smith, New Haven, MI
SUCCESS STORYHelp with Behavior, Sleep Problems & School WorkMy 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. Mary Ellen Van Slembrouck, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYHelp with Crohn's Disease After Medical Care FailedMy 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. Denise Blower, Macomb, MI
SUCCESS STORYHelp With Post-Delivery Anemia, Dehydration & Hormone ImbalanceRecently I gave birth to our first child. It was a difficult delivery and I lost a lot of blood. In fact, the day after I got home I was rushed back to the hospital because I was anemic and dehydrated. I was very weak. I tried to take a shower and I almost fainted. I couldn’t eat, was dizzy, and didn’t feel well. Add to that, my temperature was fluctuating like crazy. As soon as I got out of the hospital, I came to see Dr. Johnson. I’d been Dr. Johnson’s patient for several years, so I knew he could help me. After a nutritional evaluation, Dr. Johnson told me that my hormones weren’t balanced. He recommended some supplements that would build my blood and balance my hormones. Within three days, I noticed that I was feeling better and I continued to improve. Now, ten weeks later I’m 100% and feel like a million dollars.
Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. Erin Galba, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYPsoriasis NAET TestimonialAbout 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. Irene Davis, Hazel Park, MI
SUCCESS STORYCitrus NAET TestimonialOver the last 10 years or so, I have started developing a number of food allergies. It started with shellfish and progressed to citrus. It is fairly easy to avoid shellfish, but many dishes are just not right without a lemon squeeze and eating out became quite a gamble. On many occasions, I would eat a wonderful dinner, only to find myself incapacitated the next day with a blistering migraine and upset stomach – sometimes making it impossible to even get out of bed. I discussed my problem with Dr. Karl, who suggested we try NAET. At first, I was very skeptical, and the initial attempt failed – since I didn’t take the treatment serious, and didn’t follow through. After suffering a few more months, I became motivated and asked to try again. This time, I followed all of Dr. Karl’s instructions and after 5 sessions, I am happy to announce that I am completely cured. Today, I’m having ice tea with lemon, I eat oranges and I have no reactions, whatsoever. Thanks Dr. Karl - I had forgotten how wonderful oranges taste. (Next on the list is shellfish). Goran Lowback – Royal Oak
SUCCESS STORYOsteoporosis Reversal with Designed Clinical NutirtionOver 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. G. F., E. China, MI
SUCCESS STORYBefore Dr. Johnson, I craved sugar all the time. This was no simple craving, it was major. I could polish off a jar of jelly in one sitting. Cherry was my favorite. I ate all kinds of sugar. I always had some with me. Then I came to Dr. Johnson for allergy elimination treatments (NAET). I’ve had lots of success with the treatments, but the sugar treatment really changed my life. From relying on sugar to get me through the day, I now don’t crave it, don’t want it, and it doesn’t affect me anymore. I can actually look at a jar of jelly and not act on it. Thanks, Dr. J. for all your help. James Fisher, Clinton Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYThank you for all your help during the more than past two years. I now feel that I’ve recovered. Thank you for your help. I will see you now and then for some tuning. I’m fifty-five and want to be running fine for this age. Thank you, again. G.T., Utica, MI
SUCCESS STORYAfter my middle child was born 18 years ago, I started having pains and swelling in my joints when I didn’t get enough sleep or stressed my joint. My medical doctor said it was too early to tell but he thought it might be rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. He wanted to put me on medications, but I was planning to have another child and couldn’t take those drugs if I was pregnant. Over the years whenever the pain and swelling flared up, I would take Advil. At its worst, the pain would make it difficult to do everyday tasks. For example, when the pain was in my elbows, it was difficult to raise my arms to do my hair. I met Dr. Johnson through my son’s scout troop. I purchased a pillow for my son and started getting your newsletter. When I read about NAET, I became interested and thought it might help me. I attended a seminar and decided to try it. It didn’t take long. I was allergic to only three of the basic ten allergens. And after I cleared calcium and minerals, I noticed a change in the swelling and joint pain. Now thanks to Dr. Johnson and his allergy elimination treatments I feel good. The pain and swelling are gone. I highly recommend Dr. J to everyone. Marlene Fisher, Clinton Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy daughter Sarah suffered from ear infections almost every month for about a year. Last February she had pneumonia. She always seemed to be on antibiotics and I knew that was bad for her. I’ve been a chiropractic patient for several years. Dr. Johnson had helped me with many challenges and I thought maybe he could help Sarah. So, I brought her to see him. Dr. J tested Sarah and treated her for many allergies, including milk, shellfish, vitamin A and vitamin C. It only took a few treatments and Sarah was feeling better. For the past four months Sarah has been a healthy child — no stuffy noses, no fevers, no ear infections. What really brought this home was the fact that at the day care center where Sarah goes, many children have been sick, but Sarah has not. Sarah is now a healthy 18-month-old who feels fine. Thanks, Dr. J. Ramona Meirow, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORYTwo 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. Viorica Burca, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor 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. Terri Jones, Sterling Hgts., MI
SUCCESS STORYI’ve been coming to Dr. Johnson for many years. Several months ago I started allergy elimination treatments because I was always tired, fatigued and also overweight. Dr. Johnson tested me and said that I was allergic to sugar. He treated me for sugar and I was able to lose 20 pounds and I felt so much better. My fatigue was gone and I had more energy; in fact, I could stay awake all day. I’ve always had a problem with motion sickness, especially if I read while traveling. Having had such great success with sugar, I mentioned this to Dr. Johnson. I told him that I couldn’t read in a moving vehicle and that I needed to sit in the front in order not to get nauseated. I never thought that one could be treated for that; but Dr. J. said I could. I got the NAET treatment and soon I could read in a moving car. I recently took a 10-hour car trip and was able to read all the time. The kids slept, my husband listened to music, and I read. I loved it. When we went on a field trip with the kids, I sat four rows back and was fine. I guess the only thing left is to try flying and see if it works there. I’m certain it will, but it’s a good excuse for a trip. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help over the years. Nancy Ludlow, Shelby Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYI came to see Dr. Johnson for help with my food allergies and my migraine headaches. I was allergic to so many things—foods, weeds, grass, pollen, and the environment—and suffered with hayfever each year. Dr. Johnson put me on some supplements and recommended that I try the NAET allergy elimination treatments. He found I was allergic to vitamins as well as many foods. I’ve been receiving the NAET treatments for several months now and I’m happy to say that my environmental sensitivities are gone. I was allergic to citrus and now, after NAET, I can have one of my favorites, organic 100% lemonade. I feel better now and stronger. I was treated for allergies to B vitamins and this past winter I only had a mild cold, not the severe ones I used to get. Also, my migraines are decreasing. I used to have several migraines a week, now hardly any. A special thanks to Dr. Johnson for all his help. Elizabeth Mansour, Clawson, MI
SUCCESS STORYI love chocolate! But every time I ate chocolate or cocoa I would get severe migraine headaches. This went on for over 10 years. Since I come to Dr. Johnson for NAET (allergy elimination) treatments, I told him about my problems with chocolate. He tested me and said I was allergic to it. Then he treated me for chocolate and cocoa. He had me try his chocolate bar and I was fine. Then I tried a fruit-sweetened fudge bar—and I was fine. Next came some cocoa in ice cream. Fine again. I haven’t had those migraines for several weeks now and I love it. I can once again eat chocolate—but I try to be careful and not go overboard with it. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for helping me rid myself of a nasty allergy. Elizabeth Mansour, Clawson, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor years I had problems every time I cut the grass. I would get congested and sneeze a lot. When I told Dr. Johnson about the problem, he suggested allergy elimination (NAET) treatments. What a difference. Now I can cut the grass, handle the clippings, and work in the yard with no problems. Thanks, Dr. J. Matthew Tuckfield, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy son Nathan was extremely allergic to dogs, especially dog saliva. He could pet dogs; but whenever he was licked by a dog, he’d break out in hives. Since receiving allergy elimination treatments from Dr. Johnson, Nathan has been fine around dogs. He hasn’t broken out in hives at all. More importantly, Nathan always developed colds which led to croup and asthma. He was so bad that I would sit up at night listening to his breathing to be certain he was ok. I was concerned that he would not be able to breathe. Everything always affected his lungs, so naturally I was concerned. Dr. Johnson has been treating Nathan for his many allergies for about three months now. Last week Nathan had another cold. But this time he only had a small amount of croup and no asthma and recovered quickly. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. Christy Tuckfield, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORY“I touched a kitty and I didn’t even cough!” Four-year-old Chloe Alverson made this statement to Dr. Johnson and his staff after receiving allergy elimination treatments for her cat allergy. Whenever Chloe was around cats her eyes would tear and become red and she’d sneeze. This has happened since Chloe was a baby. Although our family didn’t have cats, we visited friends who did. These trips were difficult for Chloe. When I brought Chloe to Dr. Johnson, he began treating her for various allergies. She used to have bad cases of eczema; but since her NAET treatments, she hasn’t had any…and now she can be near cats again. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Kelly Alverson, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORYNine 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. Lucia Lester, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor years I suffered from fatigue and no energy. I felt depressed and couldn’t sleep well. I’d be cleaning my house in the middle of the night because I couldn’t sleep. I also had arthritis pain so bad that I couldn’t even ride my bike (which I love to do) more than a quarter of a mile. I did some research on the Internet, read Say Good-bye to Illness by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, determined that I had allergies, and then found Dr. Johnson on the NAET website. He was the closest to me, but he was still two hours away by car. Dr. Johnson checked me out and agreed. I’ve been coming for NAET treatments for over three months now and I can’t believe the difference. I had to give up wheat and dairy products and I’ve found lots of new recipes to help me over that. After I was treated for sugar, I was able to sleep through the night again. Now I have more energy. I had been losing weight (which for me was bad) and now that has stabilized. I’ve been told that I look ten years younger and I’m riding my bike again. In fact, I recently rode my bike to work and back home again—a total of 9 miles—and in between I worked on my feet all day. I’m no longer taking naps and I feel great! Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for helping me become a new person. Deanna May, Port Hope, MI
SUCCESS STORYBack 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. Cathy VanderMaas, Kalamazoo, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor quite a while I’ve suffered from Fibromyalgia and hyperthyroidism. I was tired and in pain all the time. I’d go to work, come home, fix dinner, and go to bed by 8:00 pm. My medical doctor had me on all kinds of drugs. And nothing worked. My friend brought me to see Dr. Johnson. We come from Port Hope, two hours from Shelby, but we’ve had really good results. Now I can work on my feet all day in a manufacturing facility, then go home, fix dinner and still have enough energy to work in the yard. I’ve been dragging logs to the fire pit and cutting grass as well as bike riding. My thyroid is coming down, too. I really feel so much better. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Darla Pankow, Port Hope, MI
SUCCESS STORYAfter 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.
Kitty Montroy, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor years I’ve been allergic to “everything.” A while back, my daughter had a cat she was getting rid of. She wanted me to take Sophie and make a home for her. I really liked her and wanted to take her. I had Dr. Johnson check me to see if I was allergic to cats. He said I was and treated me for cats. Then I brought in some of Sophie’s fur and he treated me for that. It took more than one NAET treatment, but finally I was clear and Sophie came to live with my husband and me. I love her dearly. I hug her and kiss her and hold her. She’s funny and smart. She’s so much enjoyment that I’m now thinking about getting another one. I’ve had my sister’s cat with me while she’s on vacation; and although the cats don’t like each other and have to be kept separated, I’ve been fine, no symptoms at all. Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for your care and concern. Sara Perron, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor several years I’ve suffered from migraines, which included loss of balance, and arthritis. The migraines were severe and would make me sick for at least four days. I saw several medical doctors. I’ve been in the emergency room at least three times. The neurologist put me on drugs which helped the migraines, but I still felt horrible. So I switched meds a year ago. When the doctors wanted me to see a psychiatrist, I finally said STOP. My water aerobics teacher recommended Dr. Johnson to me. I thought, “What have I got to lose?” Since I found Dr. Johnson, I’ve had tremendous improvements in many areas. My stamina is increased and I’ve had no sinus infections. I’m allergic to a lot of things including wheat, dairy, and mold. Dr. Johnson is treating me with NAET for these and other allergies. He also checks me using CRA to make sure I’m on the right supplements. Dr. Johnson has been a real life saver for me. I’m also bringing my son in for care. I plan to start chiropractic adjustments soon too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson for all your help. Mary Ellen Van Slembrouck, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor 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. Sue Birkam, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYI 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. Ron Toomer, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYA 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. Dennis Chapman, Lapeer, MI
SUCCESS STORYI 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. Ed LaFeldt, Hubbard Lake, MI
SUCCESS STORYI was feeling tired all the time. My stomach ached and I was run down with dry spots on my skin. I felt like a mess. I went to the medical doctors and they gave me multiple tests including an endoscopy, upper G.I. and many more. All my test results came out fine. I was treated for allergies as well as food allergies. I received shots and more shots. I found out I was allergic to a lot of foods. The shots were not helping and as a result I started getting a lot of yeast infections. I truly was a mess. While searching the Internet for help, I found Dr. Johnson’s website and learned about allergy elimination with Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET). I made an appointment and was not surprised to learn that I was allergic to practically everything.. Also, my energy level was low and my adrenal glands were “zero.” No wonder I felt so bad. I started treatments a few months ago and have had great results. It feels good to eat the food that I used to be allergic to. I recommend everyone I know to Dr. Johnson. Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for all your help. Erin Sanchez, Washington, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor years my son suffered from severe allergies. His eyes would swell up, he had a runny nose, and he would have asthma attacks. He used to take Claritin and Allegra and others; he had a nasal spray and inhalers for his asthma. Last year Dr. Johnson began giving him allergy elimination treatments (NAET). Now, he’s had no drugs for the past year and he is doing fine. This year he has not had allergy problems. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Evelin Valdez, Macomb, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy 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. Lynne Micheletta, Sterling Hgts., MI
SUCCESS STORYAbout 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. Rosemary Sandor, Avoca, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor 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. Ron Maniaci, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYEver since I was a young child, I have suffered from motion sickness. I was really sick — throwing up sick — every time I was in a car, or airplane or boat. Ten years ago my husband wanted to take a cruise and again I was sick, sick, sick. Recently my husband said he wanted to go on another cruise and I said I would ask Dr. Johnson if anything could be done. I’ve been coming to Dr. Johnson for six years now and I trust his judgment. He suggested we try Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) on my motion sickness. He did. It worked. I went on my cruise and had a great time. Not only did I not get sick on the cruise liner, I also was able to go on the small boat tours that were pounding up and down in the rough surf. I felt great! Thanks, Dr. J Lorraine Beavon, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYRecently, 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. Mr. Blair Myers, Clinton Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYEvery time I would eat certain foods or have a glass of wine I would get all stuffed up and have difficulty breathing. This prevented me from eating and drinking some of my favorite foods. I told Dr. Johnson about it and he tested me for sulfites. Surely enough, I was allergic to them. Next I was treated with NAET to eliminate the allergy. It worked. Now I can have one or two glasses of wine, even red wine (which I didn’t like before). Other foods are okay now too. I don’t drink much, so it’s nice to be able to actually enjoy a glass of wine occasionally. Linda Walling, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYFor a long time I had problems every time I was in my car and on other occasions too. I would get itchy all over and I’d start to sweat. I didn’t know what was going on. I mentioned it to Dr. Johnson and he checked me for allergies. Sure enough I was allergic to leather - the leather car seats in my car and any other leather I came in contact with. Dr. J treated me with NAET allergy elimination and now I’m fine. I have more pep too. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Leonard Lukomski, Romeo, MI
SUCCESS STORYI 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. Ann Lowback, Royal Oak, MI
SUCCESS STORYHi! I’m Courtney Johnson and I was treated by my Dad for allergies. I was allergic to my brother My brother and I would always fight. Over anything, in fact. I would also fee very crabby when I was around him. After I was treated with NAET, I had to stay away from him for one day. I did, and now my brother and I don’t fight and I don’t feel crabby around him anymore. Courtney Johnson, Clinton Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYI would like to tell you about how Dr. Johnson has helped my sister and me. We used to always fight and argue about the stupidest things, just to argue about something. This was normal, until Dr. J learned how to clear allergies. The name of the technique is NAET, or Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques. Believe it or not, I was allergic to my sister, which is why we didn’t get along at all.
First, we were tested to make sure we were allergic to each other, which we were. The next step was to see how long we had to be separated and haw far we had to be away from each other. After a few days, we were done being cleared of our allergy to each other and now we are more friendly and positive to each other. I am a lot happier now that we aren’t fighting anymore, because it makes the house more peaceful and quiet. I strongly suggest if you have allergy problems with foods or people, tell Dr. Johnson and he can test you, which will make your life easier, more relaxed, and without the use of drugs or other medications. This is almost too good to be true, but it isn’t! Do yourself a favor and remove allergies from your life for good. Darren Johnson, Clinton Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYSeveral 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! Deanna Fitzgerald, Rochester Hills, MI
SUCCESS STORYI’ve been receiving NAET treatments for several months now. The success of these treatments can be either subtle or impressive. Many of my successes have been of the subtle variety. Recently I’ve had to increase my work load at work, in the classes I teach, and in the organizations I belong to. This necessitated my being out every night for several weeks. That along with keeping a home really taxed me. A year ago I would have gotten sick and ended up in bed. But now I’m still going strong. I can only thank NAET for that. Speaking of being sick — formerly I would have my annual fall allergy cold/flu attack. Ten years ago it would put me to bed for three weeks and then take another six to recover. After chiropractic and Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), I was able to get my “illness” down to two to three weeks total. Now since NAET this year’s fall allergy attack lasted three days and I had very little recovery time. In fact, in less than a week I was back to full health and activity. For me this is like having a new life. Maybe by Spring I won’t even get my annual Spring allergy attack. Some of the interesting things I’ve found with NAET have been…
Ten years ago I was told by a medical doctor that I had no immune system and would probably be dead within a year if I didn’t change my life. I changed! Now I have a strong immune system and feel great. I also have a lot of energy, more than I ever had before. And I know I owe that to Dr. Johnson and his care. Diane Radtke, Shelby Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYFor years I was my medical doctor’s guinea pig. I suffered from severe headaches, migraines almost daily for four years after my child was born. My doctor gave me prescription after prescription for allergy pills. I got very little relief and my allergies kept increasing. My mom is a patient at Dr. Johnson’s and she highly recommended him to me. I’ve been coming for about four months now and I’m noticing a big difference already. I haven’t used any pills or nasal sprays for about three months now. I have more energy and only about one migraine every other week. My 10-year-old daughter also suffers from allergies and has been coming to Dr. Johnson for about 3 months now and she is also doing much better with care from Dr. Johnson. I’m happy to recommend Dr. Johnson to everyone. He’s really been a great help. Kristine Kot, New Haven, MI
SUCCESS STORYAbout 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. RJR, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYMy teenage daughter Katy has been on and off antibiotics since she was born. 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. Denise Kluck, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYAlthough 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. Jo Schon, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORYLast 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. P.T., Shelby Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYLast 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. Angela Serra, Clinton Twp., MI
SUCCESS STORYAlthough I’d been coming to Dr. Johnson for chiropractic care for several
years, I’d not had any nutrition counseling.
I suffer from allergies and food sensitivities so severe that my medical
doctor kept giving me allergy drugs and steroids to reduce the hives and to
prevent my throat from swelling closed.
I developed hives after eating out to the extent that I was taking both
drugs and steroids constantly. I
gained 60 pounds during all this and got to the point where I couldn’t eat out
in restaurants at all because of the hives. I talked to Dr. Johnson about my problem and he checked me with Autonomic
Response Testing and Contact Reflex Analysis.
He recommended a series of supplements, which proved to be successful.
After the second week I was hive free!
It was wonderful. As time
went on my supplements changed and my health continued to improve.
I was still afraid to eat in restaurants, but I was constantly improving.
However, I did have a couple of setbacks when I would try to eat out.
But they cleared quickly. Finally, after four months, I can say I am hive-free.
I went away with my family for two days and ate in restaurants the whole
time. No hives.
No food reactions of any kind.
My supplement regimen continues to change and I continue to improve.
I’m losing the weight I gained and am down from 8-10 drugs to one.
Thanks, Dr. J. Deborah Lampar Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORYDear 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! Linda LaCroix-Puuri
SUCCESS STORYWhen 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. K.L., Washington, MI
SUCCESS STORYI started seeing Dr. Johnson in October, 1995. At the time I had a mitral valve prolapse, which caused skipping heart beats. Dr. Johnson put me on Standard Process Inc® Cardio-Plus® to help regulate my heart. In the beginning, I could only take one quarter of a pill because it upset my stomach. After two months on Standard Process Inc® Cardio-Plus®, my heart was no longer skipping beats. I continued taking the Standard Process Inc® Cardio-Plus® and gradually increased the dosage. In September 1998 I went to my cardiologist for update testing. I had a Thallium Stress Test and an Ultrasound. The results were surprising to say the least. I no longer had a mitral valve prolapse! I am fine. I’m still maintaining my Standard Process Inc® Cardio-Plus®; It’s worth it for my heart. Thanks to Dr. Johnson I feel great. Gunnel Stahl, Shelby Township
SUCCESS STORY
My whole body hurt! My problems
included asthma, congestive heart failure, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, sleep
apnea, high blood pressure, low blood sugar, fibroid tumors, and an enlarged
liver. An auto accident 30 years
ago injured 13 vertebras and the tip of my pelvis.
I've also broken both legs, one of which is over-corrected caused my hip
to go out of place.
I've tried all kinds of doctors and medicines, even sleeping with oxygen,
without success. A friend said that
he has seen Dr. Johnson help other people.
I was desperate. I had tried
everything else and this was my last hope.
At my first visit, Dr. Johnson knew what I was talking about. He answered all my
questions, performed many different tests, and started me on both chiropractic
adjustments and nutritional supplements.
At first I came every day, now once a week.
Every visit I learn more about how to care for myself. I am very pleased.
In six months I've made progress.
I'm off my inhalers for asthma, as well as most of my medication.
When I have chest pains now, they stop in about 20 minutes without any
medicine. I used to sleep 22 hours
a day and felt exhausted all the time.
Now I sleep about 8 hours a day, take no naps, and feel more energetic.
If Dr. Johnson hadn't listened to me, believed in me, and helped me, I don't
think I'd be here today.
Chiropractic should be a way of life for everyone.
My body parts were degenerating, dying.
Now that my vertebrae are in place and my heart, lungs, and other organs
are being fed, they are healing. I
can feel it. Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Connie Curtis

After years of being unable to drive, I can now drive from Redford to Dr.
Johnson’s office all by myself!
This is only part of the many wonderful things that have happened to me over the
last several years.
My heart has improved thanks to
Standard Process Inc® Cardio-Plus®

It really has made a huge difference. Recently I had to go off my

I had been feeling down all the time, had no energy — I really felt like “doggie do do”! I slept nine to ten hours per night and still felt tired and I gained weight. My medical doctor said I was okay. He increased my thyroid medication and I went downhill from there. Then I saw a specialist who ran a lot of blood tests and told me I was fine.
I told my chiropractor in Richmond and he sent me to Dr.
Johnson, who he said could help me.
Dr. Johnson examined me using Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA)
and prescribed several nutritional supplements. Now, almost four months later, I feel fine.
I have my energy back and can do things I couldn’t do before like karate
and staying up after 10:00 p.m. I’m
also sleeping only six hours a day and feel rested and energized.
My body once again feels like it’s functioning properly.
Thanks, Dr. Johnson! S.G., Richmond, MI
SUCCESS STORY
My medical doctor told me that I was borderline to having osteoporosis. He wanted to do several bone density tests during the coming months. I was panic stricken and rushed to Dr. Johnson, who has been my chiropractor since 1994. I told him what the doctor had said and he added Osteo B Plus to my supplement regimen. I’m happy to report that my 6-month
test was improved. In fact, I don’t
have to go back for a year now. I
also haven’t lost any height. I
showed my M.D. the Osteo B Plus and he said I didn’t need it.
He said, “I’m the doctor and I know!
You don’t need that!” Well,
I guess he doesn’t know it all. Dr.
Johnson has done more for me through chiropractic and nutrition than any M.D.
ever did. Thanks, Dr. J. Dolores Kaza, Shelby Township, MI
SUCCESS STORY
My
son Dan was diagnosed with chronic diarrhea.
Since birth he has suffered from gastroenteritis, bowel incontinence,
earaches, hearing loss, speech impairment,
and learning disabilities.
He has always been ill, not feeling well, and didn’t want to learn.
School was a struggle and missing 40 to 50 days each year left his grades
all D’s and E’s. But the school
passed him because he has been in Special Ed.
He was so discouraged, even activities were limited.
When you don’t feel good, you can’t learn. He’s even been in the hospital for dehydration, diarrhea, and
croup.
During the past 9 years, we have been to family doctors, pediatricians, M.D.’s,
D.O.’s, Children’s Hospital, Gastroentrologist, Endocrinologist, etc.
None of them could find anything wrong!
Dan’s taken every antibiotic, ear drops, cough syrups, antacids,
and donnatal. He’s been on special diets since birth —ABC diet, low fat,
high fiber, and others. My
sister is a practice member. I was
skeptical but desperate. So I
brought Dan to Dr. Johnson. He
started in April of 1999 and in two weeks his diarrhea slowed.
Dan started school attendance daily and in one month he was doing his
school work. His stomach pain is
less and he hasn’t been sick for two months now.
He thinking again because of the adjustments.
He now writes legibly and has started writing in cursive.
Because of his improvement the school board passed him instead of failing
this year. Test finals were B’s —
Great! He feels much better.
Since coming here and being adjusted and taking nutritional supplements, Dan can
think! The doctors say there is nothing wrong, to come back in six
months. Well, in two months time,
he hasn’t been sick and is feeling good.
Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

SUCCESS STORYFor the past six years, I have had no energy as well as gastro-esophaegeal reflux disease. I’ve taken lots of prescription drugs. In addition, I was very limited in what I could eat. Between the drugs and the diet I became very depressed. About three months ago a friend recommended Dr. Johnson. I was skeptical. I had never considered a chiropractor and was quite leery of Contact Reflex Analysis®. With Dr., Johnson’s help, I am now off all my prescription drugs and I can eat again. I’m eating fresh, raw fruits and vegetables that I couldn’t eat before. It’s wonderful. Although Dr. Johnson has worked primarily CRA with me, he has also helped me by giving me adjustments for my hiatal hernia. I’m really thankful. God opens doors for people, we just have to be willing to go through them. I’d recommend Dr. Johnson to everyone. He really can help. L.C., Sterling Hgts., MI

Since coming to
Dr. Johnson, I am happy to report that this year I have had no problems.
I have not had a sinus infection and I have not taken any antibiotics.
When I started having problems in the fall, Dr. Johnson prescribed some

I’m taking

When I first came to Dr. Johnson almost two and a
half years ago, I was always tired, crabby, cranky, bruised, sleeping well but
not rested — I was too young to feel like this!! But I thought I was healthy.
I was eating properly (or so I thought) and getting exercise. I originally came to
Dr. Johnson for a back problem, and I decided to take advantage of the
nutritional counseling too. Dr.
Johnson told me to take flax seed oil and cut out all the “white stuff” — flour,
sugar, milk, etc. I did. Within three weeks I found myself bounding out of bed. I thought, “what the heck is going on?” I decided it was a fluke and wouldn’t happen again. But it did. Morning after morning I would get up with lots of energy, even those mornings when I hadn’t had much sleep. I couldn’t believe how good I felt. Now, I am healthy. I have no more headaches either. I can’t remember when I took my last Tylenol. I’m weaning my kids off the white stuff too. They are much better for it. I buy only natural foods now. I’m a believer! I’ll stand on a pulpit and shout it! Dr. Johnson has really helped my family and me. I certainly recommend him to everyone. If you do nothing else, please give up the “white stuff.” It’ll make a healthier you and a happier one too.

SUCCESS STORYI was suffering from temperature
fluctuations, headaches, backaches and irritable bowel
syndrome. I had seen my family
physician, who was helpful but was not a turning point for me.
He had given me muscle relaxants and pain pills, but that didn’t work. I was in pain again four hours later. So I asked a lot of questions and decided to try Dr. Johnson
after one of his patients told me about him. My exam was thorough. Many tests were done and x-rays were taken.
I was skeptical, but I decided to give chiropractic a try.
I started about four months ago and after three visits I was definitely
improving. Then Terri convinced me
that CRA was the way to go to see further improvements.
And both the adjustments and the nutrition counseling have helped me
attain a 90% improvement. I love to do my “sit-ups” and now I
can do them much better. Every
night I do 90 sit-ups in three or so minutes.
I’m more limber and agile now and definitely “sharp as a tack”!
Thanks Dr. J.
SUCCESS STORYWhen I came to see Dr. Johnson, I
was tired and worn out I knew I had a heart problem and I was scared every day that
I was going to have a heart attack, especially since I was suffering from chest
pains and heart disease runs in my family.
Dr. Johnson examined me and
prescribed nutritional supplements.
I couldn’t believe it, I noticed a big difference by the second day.
My chest pains were not so severe.
Since then I have improved steadily.
I now am a chiropractic patient as well, and the adjustments are helping
the numbness in my arms and fingers. Currently, I’m working a lot of
hours. If it weren’t for Dr.
Johnson, I’d be crawling on the floor.
I’ve told my co-workers and my boss about Dr. Johnson and hope they will
become patients too. I like this new healthy feeling.
Thanks, Dr. Johnson. L.T., Eastpointe, MI
SUCCESS STORYI originally came to Dr. Johnson on the recommendations of both my husband
and a friend because I had a sleep
problem. But he has helped me with
far more than just my sleep problem. I’d had a sleep problem all my life.
I just couldn’t sleep. I’d
go for over a week without sleeping.
The doctors all gave me sleep drugs and anti-depressant drugs, and muscle
relaxants, and more. Going through
menopause at the same time complicated all this.
However, nothing worked. I
just couldn’t sleep. Naturally, I
became desperate and I didn’t want to be on drugs anymore! After just three weeks of supplements and adjustments, I slept. It was May 20, 2000 and the first time in three and a half years that I slept through the night. Oh, I awoke a couple of times, but this time I was able to return to sleep quickly. It used to be that about 3:00 p.m. I would start worrying about whether or not I would be able to sleep. Now I don’t. For years my doctor has had me taking calcium carbonate.
I developed “phantom” pain in my ribcage, from my shoulder to my elbow —
actually, I hurt from my waist up.
Dr. Johnson switched me to Standard Process Inc® Cal-Ma Plus®, and after one day the pain was gone and
hasn’t returned. I couldn’t believe
that the difference in the types of calcium could affect one so.
Now my neck is better too. Some other positive changes include following the blood type diets.
I gave up wheat, diet pop, and most of my coffee.
The result was that I lost 31 pounds and now feel so much better.
I exercise every day now too. When I decided to come to Dr. Johnson, I made the decision that I’m worth
every penny that I will have to spend to get well.
Our insurance didn’t cover any of the costs here at the clinic.
But…I wanted to get healthy, feel good and function normally again.
The financial investment and the time investment have been well worth it.
I’m very, very pleased! The
staff is wonderful and I can’t tell people enough about Dr. Johnson.
I share his card with everyone I meet. Mary Wade, Sterling Heights, MI
SUCCESS STORY
For year I’ve struggles with my weight, often feeling it was out of control.
I was always tired, had sugar cravings and liked to eat late at night. I dieted and dieted for years. I finally decided that I had a chemical and nutritional
problem. About that time, a friend
suggested I talk to Dr. Johnson. I
was quite skeptical about it all. I
wasn’t sure and thought that the ways that the nerves work sounded like “voodoo”
medicine. However, I persisted. Dr.
Johnson examined me using the Autonomic Response Technique and Contact Reflex
Analysis® and found problems with my gallbladder and adrenal glands.
I began taking the supplements Dr. Johnson suggested and soon my cravings
were gone. Now I’m able to avoid
those late night junk food snacks.
In fact, I have no cravings for sweets. Because of Dr. Johnson’s care, I am now more motivated to read about whole
foods. I’m following the Type O
diet and firmly believe that the worst thing that was ever done was to label
sugar as a food. I’d certainly recommend Dr. Johnson to others.
He’s helped me and he can help you. C.K., Royal Oak, MI
