Testimonials
My personal experience with Dr. Michele Raithel was really kind of amazing. I have struggled with eczema my entire life. She remedied that with Omega 3 Fish Oils. I experienced immediate relief from itchy and flaky skin. Also my problem with dandruff improved to the point of being able to use regular store bought shampoo again. I also took Beta Blockers for blood pressure issues. With her combination of Natural Therapies, I am now free of blood pressure medications that I have taken daily for the last eight years. What a relief, knowing that my blood pressure could be controlled with natural products, as well as some good, old fashioned exercise, and making smart food choices. I do not "diet", per se, but I have lost 92 pounds in the last 15 months.
Additionally, I had been using alcohol in the evenings for falling asleep after a major car accident. I was very tense after the accident, so I started drinking enough to help me relax. However, as we all know, dependency sneaks up on you quickly, and when it does, eventually your body needs more alcohol as it builds up a tolerance for it. Dr. Michele provided an "Alpha Wave Stimulator" treatment that relaxed me in a way I had not experienced before.
She supplemented that with some natural sleep remedies. Since then, I no longer use alcohol as my primary means for sleep.
How grateful I am to be away
from that addictive substance!
I can't thank you enough, Dr. Michele, for how wonderful you've helped me feel in such a short time!

Once in a great while something comes along that changes your life tremendously. For me, finding Dr. Michele is one of those things. I thought I was a healthy person who just happened to take a lot of medicines and still didn't feel all that wonderful. Dr. Michele was able to determine the underlying cause of some health issues thus eliminating the need for some medicines, and she provided alternate, healthier ways to treat other health issues.
I feel healthier and my skin has never felt better thanks to the Omega 3 supplements Dr Michele prescribed. I am happier
not taking all the medications and I understand better what is going on in my body. Thanks Dr. Michele!!!

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Michele. During our first session, she took the time to really get to
know me and my individual needs instead of rushing through like so many other doctors do. I had a severe strain in
my back at the time and after just one treatment, I was already feeling 50% better! Just one treatment! And after a
few more treatments the pain was completely gone. I have never had an injury heal that quickly in my life.
It was truly amazing. Now we have moved on to working on natural solutions to balance my blood sugar
and my digestive system which is very exciting. I would definitely recommend Dr. Michele
to anyone who is ready to experience a healthier way of being.

My consultation with Dr. Michele Raithel was very informative and she made me understand some of the underlying causes
to some of my digestive issues. She was very easy to talk to and I was very comfortable speaking to her about my symptoms. I would
sometimes feel bloated, had problems digesting certain foods, which made me constipated at times. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
We met one on one for several consultations and she recommended some multi vitamins & fish oils for overall health and wellbeing.
She also prescribed some enzymes to help aid my digestion if I feel I need it after certain meals. She also has a very good knowledge
of nutrition and what foods are good for you & can help you with diet as well.
All I can say is that I have noticed an overall
improvement in regularity and my energy levels are much better throughout the day now that I take these vitamins. I believe the fish
oils have helped too, I use to get quite a few hang nails and now I don't. I have also noticed an overall improvement in the glow
of my skin & have had a few compliments from friends how great my skin looks. It's nice to know there are doctors out there that
really listen to you & show you that there are alternative natural ways to improve yourself using natural products, as opposed
to mainstream medicine.

It has been six years since I have taken antibiotics. I used to get sick at least twice a year and the normal cure was a dose of amoxicillin or new super antibiotic with a list of new side effects. This was the way I was raised and I felt that it generally worked. I went to a doctor only because they had control of the prescription pad. I was used to the Western medical model of three minute care and I didn't ever receive any advice on my health. Little did I know, this approach took a large toll on my generally healthy body. The headaches, surgeries, sore backs, colds, flus, etc. did not have to play such a role in my life. I just needed someone to open my eyes to what healthcare really meant.
My change in life philosophy was largely brought about when I started dating Michele 6 years ago. Now, being married happily to Michele since last year, I am healthier than ever before. We eat well and exercise daily most of the time so that we can enjoy life and not worry about small indulgences. Michele recognizes that in today's society
(and with my willpower!) it is not always possible to eat only healthy foods or to exercise for two hours every day. Michele continues to guide me in making small changes in my daily routines that have a huge impact on the quality of my life.

On the 27th of December, I was suffering from a severe headache, plus my right arm and hand, and the right leg all were painful with numbness in the hand.
This was the result of a stroke I had a few weeks before. Dr. Michele, who was visiting, offered to give me a treatment. In less than a half hour, I felt much relief from the pain. I was more relaxed and comfortable than I had been in days. I am 84 years old, and was amazed at the help she gave me. I have full confidence in her knowledge and practice.

My health became a huge concern in 2003 while I was living in the small town of Greensboro, NC. When I started having severe Migraine headaches every 2 weeks, waking from sleep with them 99% of the time, I blamed it on the pollen season since they began in early spring.
My symptoms started out with a heavy headed feeling , accelerated pressure behind my face and forehead, watery eyes and stuffy sinuses. As 2 to 4 hours went by, it would render me unable to work, and as the excruciating pain intensified, I ended up home in bed; that’s if I even made it out the door before the real intense pain began, which made me so nauseous I stuck close to the bathroom.
By the middle of spring I was getting them once a week, sometimes lasting only 4 hours but 6 to 8 hours became the norm. I was seeing a doctor at that point on a very fixed budget with a limited healthcare plan. The doctors experimented by putting me on a few different Meds that did nothing. I finally received some relief from a controlled prescription drug called Maxalt that had some long term liver damaging affects.
The cost or these tiny pills were $25.00 each and I paid cash for so I could at least
hold down my job when these episodes struck. I was thankful when I would get [the headaches] on weekends, but my relationship suffered many times as I became a prisoner to it and accepted it as a way of life.
Since that time the Migraines stayed with me on a regular basis until 2005 when
we moved back to Michigan-where we are originally from- for my work. The climate there is very damp 90% of the time. Within 2 years I was getting Migraines 2 times a week and 90% of the time on the weekends.
I went to doctors there that all said that there was no cure for Migraines and that I was already taking the best medication for it as he wrote out yet another prescription I could not afford. My work has now led me to Roseville, CA., where I had planned to see someone with a fresh prospective on remedies for my symptoms. My wife had been studying nutrition and alternative therapies for 6 to 8 years at this point. She looked up doctors in the area with the right credentials and she found Dr. Michele Raithel, ND. She asked me to trust that the results would be different this time since she had gained so much knowledge and passion for what ND’s could do. I immediately called and found a very positive voice on the other end of the phone at Dr. Michele Raithel's office. I came to her office with a positive and bright outlook, for it surely felt like a place I wanted to be at. I immediately took Dr. Michele Raithel as a genuine, caring and passionate professional who wanted nothing more than to see her patients getting results while under her care. She was direct and to the point as she listened eagerly which I had never experienced before. She wanted to know everything she could know about my health history and beyond, caring for the person as a whole being where everything connects. She started me out on a Nasopure sinus wash immediately that visit and scheduled me for a Biopuncture treatment the following week. I trusted her on the spot as she took action.
The first treatment was everything she had explained with no surprises and it was painless and fast. I committed myself to her care and agreed to follow it to a tee. I took the Thorne Research MediClear cleansing program for nutritional support, allergies and detoxification as well. After my first Biopuncture treatment, I had the after effects, just as she had mentioned up front. It passed and was no worse than anything I hadn’t already experienced before coming here. The second week and treatment had some more intense side effects but yet it was still no worse than anything I hadn't already experienced before. Now during this time I realized I was getting no Migraines during my work week and also was bouncing with energy and I had a spring in my step like I hadn’t had since I could remember. We skipped the third Biopuncture treatment to let my body build back up and we continued the following week. I was having absolutely, for the first time in 8 years, experiencing no repeating Migraines and I was ecstatic with the results; jumping with joy and promise for I have so much to thank Dr. Michele Raithel for. I feel more confident with every passing day and I have a clear head and sinuses and amazing energy. I will continue my healthy eating, of course, because my life has been on hold for far too long to not appreciate all that this treatment has done for my confidence and well being. I will continue to tell my story to everyone and surely recommend Dr. Michele Raithel to anyone seeking real genuine results.

I would like to personally thank Dr. Michele Raithel. I had a bad bout with tendonitis that left me in pain for about 2 years. I had even switched to eating with my left hand because my right elbow hurt. I went in for a treatment this fall, and within days my elbow started doing better. Where cortisone shots failed me in the past, Dr. Raithel's treatment made a definite improvement in my life. I can't thank you enough.
