Chronic Pain Doesn’t Stand A Chance – Optimum Health Report #369

A woman suffering from chronic headaches, wondering about a good treatment

Dear Readers,
Greetings all!

Look what arrived today in the email! She is a patient that came all the way from Germany for treatment at LifeWorks.

“Dear Dr Minkoff,
It took 4 years to find a competent Doctor!
Everything started slowly.  My joints hurt, tingling in my hands and feet, and all my muscles hurt and extreme back pain.  Every step I made hurt.  I was always tired and tired.  Sometimes there were days where I could not see properly.  I drove from doctor to doctor, but no one could help.

For the last 1.5 years I was no longer able to work and I kept pulling back.  My husband always said let’s keep looking, we’ll find the right Doctor.

Then my best friend from America called, because she heard what happened and told me to come to her, she had a good Doctor.  I did not want to hear about it anymore, but my husband and friend did not let up until I was on the plane to Clearwater.

So I visited Dr. Minkoff together with my friend.  Dr. Minkoff took a lot of time. I did not know any doctor would do that and was impressed.  He examined me and did a lot of testing and he really found the problem.  Everything he found made perfect sense and I started treatment right away and after a few weeks, I felt much better.  My eyes did not hurt anymore and I could see well again.  The pain got less, my gut got better and I lost 36 pounds.  Now I feel full of energy again and can work again.  Honestly, I can’t even find the words to describe my happiness!

Dr. Minkoff, never have I met such a Doctor, who is as knowledgeable and interested in his patient as you are.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me.
You gave my life back to me.  I have fun again and many plans.  You are the best!!!

Many thanks to all Lifework staff members!  You are a great Team, always helpful, service oriented and friendly.  I felt very well with you and will miss you!!!
Love,
D.P.”

Have a great week,
Dr. David I Minkoff, MD

About Dr. David Minkoff, Medical Director

Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement. He then completed both a Pediatric Residency and a Fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of California at San Diego. He worked at the University of California and Children’s Hospitals in San Diego as an attending physician in infectious disease while conducting original research on Ribaviron, a broad spectrum anti-viral agent to fight disease. He also co-directed a neo-natal intensive care unit and worked in emergency medicine. In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance. Based on this new knowledge Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States. In the process, he gained expertise in Biological medicine, integrative oncology, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy, homeopathy, and optimum nutrition. He studied under the masters in each of these disciplines until he became an expert in his own right. Dr. Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Dr. Minkoff writes two free online newsletters, “The Optimum Health Report” and ”The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter”, to help others learn about optimum health and fitness. Dr. Minkoff is an avid athlete himself and has completed 43 Ironman Triathlons. To keep his fitness maximal, he lives the lifestyle he teaches to others and tries to set an example for others, so they can enjoy a life free of pain and full of energy.
