10/16/2010 was one of the worst days in my life and a day that I will never forget. But that day led to two of the best days in my life, 11/11/2010, the day I met Dr. Su and 11/17/2011, the day I met Hung Lieu.
I’ve had what I call a “boatload” of medical problems going back for at least 10 years. The medical doctors and specialists that I’d been seeing and trusting without question (because that’s what you are suppose to do right?) continued to work on my symptoms by adding more medications and increasing dosages. They never really addressed the underlying cause. Each additional medication or dosage increase reduced my kidney functions. On October 10th I had an appointment with a Nephrologist. My blood tests showed my Creatinine and BUN levels were even higher than my last doctor visit and I was getting close to kidney failure. The Nephrologist said I needed to start thinking about what type of dialysis I wanted to do – Hemodialysis or Peritoneal Dialysis. This was necessary so they could do the surgery to prepare the access points and allow it to fully develop making it easier when I started dialysis. As the doctor went on to explain the different types of dialysis all that ran through my mind was: “Dialysis – there are different types of dialysis? What am I thinking! I don’t care there are different types of dialysis, I don’t want dialysis of any kind!” The doctor kept talking and I’d catch are word here and there and think no, no, NO, NO WAY! I walked out of the doctor’s office in a total daze, got into my car and left on vacation that my sister and I had been planning for several months. I didn’t say anything to my sister, just that my appointment went fine, so her vacation wouldn’t be ruined like mine was sure to be.
That vacation was memorable in so many ways. I’d try my best not to think about what the doctor said because every time I did it would send me into a panic. As we drove along the south shore of Lake Superior I tried to absorb everything – sites, sounds, smell, feel, taste – everything because in the back of my mind I was thinking this may be my last vacation. Then I’d shake myself and say “NO DON”T THINK THAT WAY”. By the end of our vacation I’d calmed down enough that I was saying to myself, “I’m not giving all this up!” Funny how a lake with such a violent history can have such a calming affect. By the time we got back home I’d come up with a plan, as it turns out, a plan that would save my life. Several friends of mine had been seeing Dr. Su for years and said she had done wonders for this ailment and that ailment. My problem seemed a lot more severe but I was desperate and decided it wouldn’t hurt to see if she could help me.
The day I met Dr. Su, 11/11/2010, she gave me something invaluable, HOPE. As I explained to her why I was there, I still remember her words, “Dialysis, That’s like being in jail!” I knew at the point she was going to do whatever she could to help me. When Dr. Su did the BioEenergetic Screening it showed all my organs were shutting down. Dr. Su started me on a detox program, vitamin D, eating right for my blood type and suggested I get all metal fillings replaced and make sure I have as pure of drinking water as I can. By the middle of January 2011 my blood tests showed the Creatinine and BUN levels were still high but half what they were in October 2010.
The next best day of my life was 1/17/2011, the day when Dr. Su introduced me to Hung Lieu, the Acupuncturist that works with her. I’d never had acupuncture before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Hung was so wonderful and he is the kindest, gentlest person you could ever meet. He explained the needles, what he was going to do, the sensations I would feel and answered all my questions. The acupuncture treatments would improve my kidneys functions overall. I continue to get acupuncture treatments for my kidneys and for knee pain caused of arthritis – but that a story for another day.
By mid May 2011, my blood test results showed the Creatinine level was back to normal but the BUN level still a little high. My last blood results in August 2011 showed my kidney functions were back to normal. I continue to work with both Dr. Su and Hung as I’m gradually getting off the medications prescribed by my medical doctor.
I’m so gratefully to both Dr. Su and Hung Lieu for saving my sanity and life. I will never be able to repay them. They are magical people with healing hearts and hands. Thank you, Dr. Su and Hung, for being there and helping me find that path to a life without dialysis.

My Story by Kaitlyn Molis, a 10 year old girl from Whitehall Wisconsin who is recovering from mercury poisioing.
The night that I shot my 1st Deer November 28, 2010. I didn’t feel good that night, but I was excited that I shot my 1st deer. I had a low fever for months. I was not sleeping at night. I always had funny feelings in my throat, headaches and stomach aches. (I got my first mercury fillings at 5 years old. My first time I had 6 fillings.)
I missed my Stout Hearted Men Christmas Concert because I was dizzy, had a stomach ach and funny feeling in my throat. I went to the concert but couldn’t stay. I left during practice before it started. This was an adult concert. They picked only a few kids to sing, so it was an honor. I missed my Christmas School concert, my School Christmas party, Valentine Party, and a Pirates Play I was chosen to be in.
I was able to go to my Christmas piano recital. My family was worried about it, but I was going to try to do it. I made it through perfectly. God gave me enough strength to do it.
I was taking Tylenol for a long time to try to help me feel better. I drank water (2 gallons a day). At school I went to the office 10 times a day. I couldn’t stay in class because of the lights and the noise. I had to go to the naughty room (for sick reasons). Teachers didn’t believe I was sick. Staff thought I was faking it. But the school secretary, Joanne Foss was nice. She believed me. She gave me some of her dinner, because the school food gave me a headache. Every morning, I would lay on the floor at home and cry -not wanting to go to school. I loved school before and was an A student. My temper was very bad. I would get so angry. I would sit and break crayons and pencils because of noise and fighting with my parents-if I couldn’t get my way.
Back to December: I went to the Medical Doctor 6 times. I saw 3 different doctors. All times they didn’t find anything wrong. I was tested for step throat 5 times, lyme disease 2 times, diabetes 2 times, urinary track infections, blood cell count, thyroid, inflammation, and (a pregnancy test, which we didn’t know about until the next doctor visit). We were upset about that test. At the Imal doctor visit, they thought I had anxiety issues so they gave us a prescription for anxiety drugs. My family decided not to give me that. They decided to call Dr. Su for an appointment.
Then we went to Dr. Su on December 22, 2010. She said I had mercury poisoning from my fillings and my thyroid was not working hardly at all from my mercury fillings and previous vaccinations. She could tell I wasn’t sleeping well. My liver and adrenal glands weren’t functioning properly. She said I had migraines so bad-if 1 was an adult I would be home in bed. So she gave me homeopathic drops for liver, adrenal, thyroid, de-vaccination, and migratox drops for severe headaches. I was to take a Clay bath once a week. I also needed to have my fillings drilled out and replaced. I had to do all of this to get the mercury out of my body.
December 24, 2010 is the night we go to Grandpa & Grandma Austin’s for Christmas. I didn’t want to go. I cried and had a temper tantrum for an hour. It was horrible. My parents made me go. I laid in Grandpa Ron & Grandma Cheryl’s bed and watched TV, came out a couple times to open a present. I didn’t even want to play with my cousins and our new Christmas presents. We went home early.
When I went to Dr. Su on December 22 she said in 3 days I would feel better. On Christmas Day (the 3 day), we went to Grandpa John and Grandma Wendy’s house for Christmas. I was feeling better that day. I was really excited because I got a Nintendo DSIXL. They videoed me playing 4 Christmas carols on the piano, and my family sang along with me.
I didn’t know the worst was yet to come. I looked very sick. I lost weight and my clothes were falling off. Kids at school made fun of me. They told me to stick to my skinny jeans.
Dr. Hebert in Eau Claire takes the mercury fillings out using oxygen and the rubber dam. This way you don’t inhale or swallow any mercury as it is drilled out. We made appointments after Christmas Tuesday and Wednesday. I had 7 fillings done on those 2 days. Dr. Hebert is very nice. I didn’t feel any pain at all when he drilled out my fillings and replaced them with white. I didn’t even feel the Novocain shot. My grandpa & grandma took me and my grandma sat with me while I was having the fillings done. I was sick during Christmas vacation.
In January, I went to the medical Doctor again. Dad and I both had strep. I got amoxicillin. I couldn’t go to my friends sleepover Friday night because I knew I couldn’t handle the noise. But I would go on Saturday morning. I was getting ready to go to the birthday party and I noticed my neck was itching. 1 showed it to my Dad. He said it was just nerves and dry skin. (It was my last day to take my amoxicillin.) I itched at the party on my back and neck. I told Hallie’s sister and the 2nd time she told her mom. Her mom looked at me and saw I was full of hives. (I had hives for 10 days.) It was time to go home. She called my Dad. She brought me to Holtan’s (my Dad’s store). I had another birthday party that evening for another friend, but I couldn’t go.
I was done with amoxicillin except for 1 day. So I didn’t take any more of it.
My hives were red areas with white puff spots and streaks. They would come and go and move to different places on my body. They were itchy, hot and painful, My ankles and joints were swollen. It hurt to move my arms and legs. I didn’t want to take my clay bath because I thought it would sting my skin.
I took generic benadryl for my hives for a few days. Hives kept getting worse and worse. Then I took the regular benadryl to see if that would work better. I stayed at my grandpa & grandma’s that week and stayed overnight one night. She took care of me. We tried many different things to make my hives better. Skinbiotic cream, baking soda, celver, ice packs; she put cold cloths on my legs and arms every 10 minutes. The cloths were cold but just turned hot right away. (The hives were red areas with white puff streaks.)
Then at the end of the week, I went to the medical Doctor for my hives. He said my strep throat was gone and to take Claratin for my hives. So I did. Then my joint pains started on February 4. This had to happen because I needed all that mercury out of my body. I had no idea how hard this would be. When I had to use the bathroom, my dad tried to carry me, but it hurt so bad for him to even touch me, I would scream and cry. Finally he got me to the bathroom, but I was in so much pain I couldn’t sit on the stool. I needed help to get up and off of anything I sat on, and I screamed with pain every time. I couldn’t walk by myself. I couldn’t sleep. I made weird outburst language. (Nat Nat Nat) I did it because of the pain. My family was wondering if I really did have a mental problem. I couldn’t even flush the toilet because my hands hurt so bad. If my little sister, Karli, bumped me, I would cry because of the pain. I couldn’t take off my shoes and boots or even get into bed without screaming and crying with pain. I couldn’t get up. I would have pain in my right hip, then it would move to my left hip, then to my right groin. My fingers would hurt. The pain would move around to different areas of my body.
We went to the medical doctor again. He said he would set up an appointment with Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN with a Rheumatoid arthritis pediatrician specialist. Did not hear back from him for a long time. Finally they set an appointment for me at the end of April. If I hadn’t went to Dr. Su and Dr. Emily, by then, what would have happened to me?
My pain was so bad; we decided to go to a Pediatric Chiropractor, Dr. Emily Smith on February 7, 2011. My grandparents took me. They helped me to the backseat of the car. I couldn’t even lift my legs up to slide into the car and out again. My legs were stiff, painful, and shaking. My grandma tells me I was like a little old lady who didn’t have any strength. At Dr. Emily’s, with my Grandma’s help, I walked slowly down the hall, shuffling my feet, my hips were twisted and my body was crooked. 1 couldn’t even get up on the adjusting table. I was adjusted twice a week. She couldn’t believe how bad I was. I got a Doctor’s excuse so I didn’t take gym class until I was better.
On February 11, 2011, I had my braces removed. I had them for one year.
On February 14, 2011, I had pain in my throat and head that was like stabbing knives.
We went to Dr. Su and Dr. Emily that day. Dr. Su said strep was gone, kidneys were good, lymph glands were swollen and bad. They should have clear in them and now is full of sludge. I started lymph drops. I started Black Walnut drops - parasites were underlying concern but since braces were off I started now. I will continue on thyroid drops for several years. I was to take my drops and take daily clay baths. The Amoxicillin was the cause of the hives and the mercury had a part in it also. Dr Su encouraged my family and me that I would be better in a couple weeks. I was to try to eat a clean diet. (The low fever was due to bacteria from my braces.) I went to school off and on now.
I had a slight cold and then my ear started hurting on February 27 (my Dad’s birthday). We were up all night, it hurt so bad. My Dad thought I was faking because I didn’t want to go to school or do my homework. Then my ear starting draining (5 tissues a day with spots of fluid). Missed school again. Went to Dr. Emily again. Ear drum was perforated. It kept draining and draining probably for a month.
On March 11, 2011, I got pink eye, but we think it was the mercury coming out of my eye. My ear was also still draining. We went to a medical Doctor again. Who said I had pink eye and ear infection. He didn’t even put the instrument in my ear to look to see how my ear looked. He just gave my mom drugs without looking. My mom didn’t feel comfortable with that. She read the side effects of the antibiotic and was worried after everything we had been through with the other drugs side effects. She didn’t want me to have more problems. We went to Dr. Emily Smith at Prissell & Smith Chiropractic again. I was adjusted several times. Dr. Emily has helped me a lot. (I did use the eye drops from the Doctor but not the antibiotics.)
After that I was going to school again. Things were going better. I was taking my supplements and my migratox for my headache as needed at home and at school.
I was off from school with a headache for 2 days before Easter break. After that I haven’t missed any days of school. I MISSED A TOTAL OF 30 DAYS OF SCHOOL. It took a lot of work to make up all the homework I missed out on. I finally was able to concentrate.
I feel better but I still have my funny feelings in my throat. (not as severe). My migraine headaches are still there some days, but the migratox takes care of them.
I am so glad I went to Dr. Su Anderson at The Healing Arts Wellcare Center. Dr. Su had mercury poisoning just like me, so she knew exactly what I was going through. I remember Dr. Su telling me, when this is all over that I would have the best summer of my life. She is great!
Kaitlyn Molis
In 1983 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, having symptoms dating back to 1969. My condition was deteriorating and the doctors could not tell me why. When I was finally diagnosed I was almost relieved to know there was actually something wrong in spite of the grim future I was faced with. In 1983 I was 35 years old, married with 2 young children. I found myself raising my kids from a chair, unable to cross the street unassisted in warm weather and unable to work. I used a wheelchair if I had to shop or walk any distance.
In 1994 I started working with Dr. Su and found that I had an old virus, pesticide poisoning and dental mercury poisoning. I started a regiment of remedies and felt a little better but did not follow through. Dr. Su wanted me to replace my mercury fillings but at the time it seemed pretty drastic. In October of 1996 I decided I wanted to feel better so I started following the program by the book. By January of 1997 I began replacing my mercury fillings and by mid March it was complete. Three weeks after the completion, while sitting in "my chair" feeling very well I decided to go for a walk. I walked 1/4 of a mile down a walking path and back. Tears were running down my face, my feet were actually picking up off the ground. Now 5 years later I am walking a mile, golfing, exercising and working. I have changed from sedentary, ridged and depressed to an active, vibrant and joyful woman. I continue to amaze myself, my family and friends.
Thank you God.
Sincerely, Edy
I was diagnosed with Stage 3-Inflammatory Breast Cancer in the Fall of 2003. Just about the worse news someone could get. I went to 2 different clinics for opinions and both stated that I needed to begin chemotherapy immediately, surgically remove my lymph nodes, and follow up with 6 months of radiation treatments, I was told that if I didn't do this, I had less than 3 months to live. I had already lost my father-in-law, a cousin and 2 close friends to cancer and I was well aware of what was in store for me.
My sister had been seeing Dr. Su with good results and suggested I go and see her before I made any decisions. I liked her approach of finding out what had caused my cancer and fixing the problem. It made sense to me. The cause of my cancer was mercury poisoning and I began working with her, cleansing my body of these toxins.
I started working with Dr. Su in October of 2003, by April of 2004, my CT scan was normal, the 5 cancerous lymph nodes under my left arm were no longer swollen.
Thank you for your knowledge, bright smiles, and positive attitudes. It helped me get through the last two years.
Sincerely,
Gary Schweizer
I found Dr. Su when I was at the end of my rope! I was so frustrated with the visits to the MD's and Specialists who could not find anything wrong. They would give me medicine to treat the symptoms but I was only feeling worse. I was having several health issues, some of which were depression, weight gain, my body holding fluid and problems caused by my perimenopause.
My first visit to Dr. Su was incredible. She immediately found my body was out of balance as a result of a thyroid problem, hormone imbalance, poor diet, and dental mercury poisoning. I finally had an answer for the way I had been feeling. She started me on homeopathic drops, vitamins & minerals, and gave me guidance about proper nutrition for me. Within a few weeks, I was starting to feel better. I had so much more energy, the hot flashes were gone, and the night sweats were disappearing. Even my menstrual periods were becoming regular again. Best of all, the depression was gone and I was off all medication. Things were improving but I was still holding on to the weight. Dr. Su encouraged me to begin the process of removing my mercury fillings and to stay with my new eating plan. I was so tired of not having the quality of life that I wanted that I decided to do everything I could do to improve my health.
Today, I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel. I've lost weight and feel more alive than I have in years! Dr. Su works to heal the whole body....Mind, Body, & Spirit. She does not just treat the symptoms, she finds the problems to correct. I realize Dr. Su can guide me to better health but in the end I am the one responsible for maintaining my health. I feel we are a team and she is my partner teaching and leading me to a healthy life!
I thank God everyday for my health!!

For 8 years I lived with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. A local M.D. treated me along with a specialist. Year after year they would try new medications trying to find something that would help. I was on steroid therapy many times. Finally I was tired of living with non-stop pain and being tired all the time. At that point my organs were shutting down. My husband saw a class offered through community Ed. and signed me up. Susan taught the class and the next week I went in for my first appointment. Within two weeks of starting on her homeopathic drops, vitamins etc., I was feeling much better. Today, many years later, I am completely free of arthritis and lupus. After having been so close to death and ready for it, I feel very blessed and fortunate to be able to share this story with people who are tired of living with pain.
Sincerely,
Deb Harwell
It seems as if I've always had a weak immune system. I was always very tired no matter how much I slept. When I was in college, I came down with Mononucleosis and almost died. At the age of 25, I started experiencing "eye floaters". I didn't know what they were. I thought I was losing my mind! I was a mess!
I started seeing Dr. Su in 1999. She put me on remedies and taught me healthy nutrition. I can honestly say that I have never felt better in my life! My floaters are about 50% reduced and I'm becoming aware of the things that can cause them to increase. I also had problems with heel spurs which are now healed. I've restricted my diet using NO sugar. I've lost 20 pounds, have a TON of energy and have never felt better in my life! I can't believe it!
Sincerely,
Dean Lull
I had been sick for 3 years and I was having no luck with any type of medical care. I had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and low blood pressure. I suffered from chronic flu-like symptoms, headaches, and back/neck pain. The amount of time, money, and energy I had spent to date had been staggering. I clearly had spent well over $100,000 in medical costs.
Thinking Mayo Clinic was clearly the “best of the best” I thought for sure they were the ones to help me. The last time I was seen there, I was given a death sentence. They told me, “Go home and die. You will never have children, you will never work. And….don't let those alternative people talk you into anything. They won't help you!! They'll just take your money.” I simply couldn't accept what they told me. A friend told me about Dr. Su and I called to schedule an appointment the next day. That was a year ago, May 27 th …my birthday and the beginning of a journey that has changed my life.
In the past year, with Dr. Su's help, I have learned a lot about how my vaccinations and amalgam fillings were the main source of my symptoms. I did a detoxification program with homeopathic remedies, supplements, vitamins, and clay baths and I had 8 amalgam fillings replaced with non-toxic materials. I met a wonderful holistic dentist named Dr. Jerry Barnes in St. Paul who gladly replaced all my fillings. He was a very sweet man and a gentle dentist.
My recovery lasted 1 year and financially cost me approximately $4400 (that included the dentist). Hardly a comparison to the $100,000 I had spent the 3 years prior and with no results!! Today I can honestly say that life is fabulous!!! I feel and look great and people tell me that all the time.
Although some people have been skeptical about my success with alternative treatments, I know that it has saved my mind, body and soul. I thank the Healing Arts Wellcare Center for their guidance in my journey and hope that I can give hope for recovery to others.

Our story is both simple and miraculous at the same time. My family was not well. We were weak, sick and tired. My daughter was failure to thrive from birth and my son had oozing sores. Conventional medicine after several years was unable to help either one of them. I was overweight, tired, and unjoyful about life. There had to be a better way for us to live. This drudgery couldn't be the best life had to offer. Each of my children and I had visited the appropriate conventional specialists and doctors from all over the state. Most of them did the same required tests and then dismissed my family without answers.
I found Dr Su Wahl and Naturopathy from an occupational therapist and friend at the Courage Center where my daughter had received ongoing therapy for several years. Based on our current situation and lack of answers, I figured I had nothing to loose by looking into this alternative. I made the first appointment for myself because I needed to know what this was all about before I subjected my children to more shots, needles, and tests.
The process was wonderful. It was uplifting, encouraging, and painless. I felt like I was getting some answers that I had always known, but had never been told before. Right there I decided to dedicate myself to this health regime completely to either prove to myself that it was correct or that it was false. It was true! Over the next few months I changed many things about my life and my family's life and how we cared for ourselves. We changed how we ate, how and when we slept, how we exercised, how I cleaned the house, how we talked to ourselves, and how we thought about our future. I even changed how I breathe.
The results were miraculous! Now I had to bring my children. They responded so quickly and completely to this healing method that I didn't care what others thought of it, I just knew that it was right for us. We stopped vaccinating and started cleansing our bodies. My children are now thriving better than I imagined possible. Their personalities are calm and joyful. They eat well and are growing perfectly.
I feel and look 10 years younger than I did before I met Dr Su. She was a great inspiration. She showed me what was possible and the possible exceeded my dreams. She challenged me to look beyond her for answers and to ask questions.
One of the best changes for me has been that now I realize that I am in charge of my health. Good health is something that needs to be nurtured and protected in our country, not just when you are "sick" but always. When my son dislocated his elbow, I still took him to the urgent care clinic. When my daughter got a fleck of metal in her eye, we went to the emergency room. If I get an answer from any healthcare professional that I question even if it is my naturopath, I look it up or find another answer. I get to choose what is right for my family.
One of the best things I learned from my childrens experience is to never vaccinate or drug your kids. They are all perfect and wonderful. Vaccinations almost killed my daughter and seriously compromised my son's health as well as my own. Fortunately, I found out in time and could effect positive changes that saved them.
This is my story and my journey. It will never be complete. This healing method may not be appropriate for everyone, but please don't decide for me whether it is right for my family. Freedom of choice and opinion are why this country was founded. No one has the right to tell me that I must drug my children in order for them to receive an education. If my children feel it is in their best interests, they can make different decisions for themselves when I am no longer responsible for their health. By the same token, I would not presume to tell another that their chosen method of healthcare is inappropriate or dangerous, because it is not my decision. Respect others and their choices even if you don't agree.
Dr. Su, thank you for your guidance. You are an extremely valuable resource and friend. My children and I love coming in to see you for our checkups.
Love and Light to you always!

Dr. Su saved my life!! About 6 years ago I woke up one morning with a severe headache and when I stood up I lost my balance. I couldn't sit or stand upright without intense head throbbing and severe dizziness. It didn't go away unless I laid down.
I went through every western test in the book, including nuclear medicine. Just the name is scary! I was poked and prodded, saw all kinds of specialists and racked up thousands of dollars in medical bills. I had an 18 month old son who had to stop breast feeding cold turkey due to the medicine they had me take. I also had to hire a nanny to care for him since I couldn't stand up. I literally remember crawling on the floor around my house.
My medical diagnosis according to the specialists was low cerebral spinal fluid. They said the only thing to help me was to take Advil and drink caffeine! I couldn't live like this. A friend referred me to Dr. Su.
In less than 30 minutes she said I had a cracked tooth and the mercury from the filling was leaching into my system and causing my problems. She referred me to my dentist to get my tooth fixed. My dentist of 5 years told me there was no such thing as mercury poisoning from fillings. She said my teeth were fine and didn't even take an x-ray or look in my mouth. I consulted another dentist who did take an x-ray. The same tooth Dr. Su identified showed a large crack on the x-ray. The dentist, over time removed all my metal fillings and replaced them with non-mercury fillings. I continued to cleanse my system with a few natural products from Dr. Su. In less than a few weeks, I was back to my normal self! I had my life back!
My family and I continue to see Dr. Su to this day. She got me through a healthy pregnancy, infant food sensitivities, vaccination issues and sleepless nights. My family is thankful for Dr. Su and all that she has taught us. We stand firm in our belief of naturopathic medicine and Dr. Su's practice. Our family is healthier because of it. So thank you Dr. Su again for all you do.
Your client and friend for life,
Wendy
The day I met Dr. Su was the day my life changed forever!! Nine years ago I came to see Dr. Su because I was concerned about my fussy newborn. She introduced me to the blood type diet. I had been eating all the wrong foods my whole life. My baby was a total different baby when I ate the right foods, and I never felt so good after struggling with stomachaches my whole life. That was only the first of many things Dr. Su has helped me through. I had gone through so much infertility procedures with my medical doctor to have our first child; it was very stressful, emotional, and expensive. If I had only known Su then. We knew we wanted more children, but there was no way I could go through all that again. I saw Dr. Su and in 3 months I was back to being a healthy woman after 5 years of female issues. We have had 2 beautiful children since naturally!!
I could go on all day about everything Dr. Su has helped me and my family with. I have taken classes at the clinic that have taught me so much on staying healthy and raising my children to be strong, healthy and wise. Everyday someone asks me why your kids are so healthy! I am so very thankful for everything Dr. Su has done for me and my family. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for The HAWC!!
The thought of not having a choice to see holistic caregivers is very scary!! This is what we are all about, these are our choices and this is what keeps me and my family healthy and happy!!!!

I have known Su Wahl for several years; not only is she my primary health person, but also a friend. When I first went to Su I had chronic yeast and kidney/bladder infections along with a low self esteem. I did the "medical doctors" for many years and all they had to offer was drugs to temporarily clear up the symptoms. I can honestly say I went from monthly bouts for at least 20 years, to only 2 yeast and bladder infections in over a 3 year period. Since I started doing Homeopathic wellness from Susan Wahl (both of those times I was not following my healthy diet for my body) she found the source of what was causing the infections and helped me find ways to get rid of it. I am so grateful for that. Su not only helped me with my health but my low self esteem, she made me realize that I am in charge of my own life and path. That I can love myself, that I am beautiful, not just in God's eyes, but knowing that in my own heart.
Su has a passion for love in life, in people, in animals and this planet!
I can honestly say that I am healthier now at 52 then I was at 30, because I have chosen the best care for my body, with the help from Susan Wahl.
THANK YOU SU!!!!!!!

Su has helped me and my family through a lot of struggles. I had Mono my senior year of High School. After three months my doctor told me that the Mono was gone and I could go back to exercising and doing my everyday activities without getting run down. Around a year later I noticed that I was still tired all the time and felt like I needed to take a nap every afternoon. This was during my freshman year of college so it had a large affect on my day to day activities. My mom suggested I go to Su because she had helped get rid of my sister's infection. I went to Su and she ran her tests and told me that I still had Mono in my system and we needed to clear it out. She gave me instructions on what pills and drops to take and how often. Within a month I felt like myself again! I couldn't believe I had lived like that for so long! Su helped me get back to my active self and I really can't thank her enough. I have referred many people to see Su and have only heard wonderful things back. Even though I live in New York I am still a life time customer of Su's and always will be as will my entire family.
Kindest Regards,

I first visited Su in 2002 after struggling with anxiety for many years. I had been in and out of Doctors offices and put on all different types of medications. Nothing seemed to calm the anxiety. After spending an hour with Su, not only did I understand what was going on in my body, but I learned how to fix the problem, rather than mask the symptoms. In a short period of time I went from 8-12 panic attacks a day down to a few per year. Her knowledge and wisdom has given me the chance to enjoy life again. Thank you Su.

Since the birth of my third child in 2005, I haven't felt like myself. I spent much of 2006 in my internist's office with multiple symptoms i.e. pains in my abdomen, hair loss, tingling of my tongue, skin irritations, anxiety, vision problems, brain fog, and digestive issues, to name a few. He was at a loss after many tests i.e. bone scans, CT scans, and an MRI.
In the fall of 2006 I went to Woodwinds to the Natural Health Clinic. I met with a Naturopath who listened to me talk about my life and symptoms for two hours. Seven hundred dollars later I was leaving with pills and potions and was told to do a thirty day diet detox. I did this and felt better but my symptoms were not gone.
My internist referred me to the Mayo Clinic in January of 2007. After two days of tests I learned there was nothing wrong with me other than sleep deprivation, anxiety, chronic pain, and low ferritin. While I was relieved, I knew deep down I still didn't have answers as to why I wasn't feeling well.
I went back to Mayo in March of 2008. I was again told there was nothing wrong with me; however my ferritin levels were even lower than they were in 2007. I was instructed to take iron for a couple of years and take Vitamin D and get outside in the sun and I should feel better by the end of summer.
In January of 2009 a good friend of mine told me about Dr. Su. I did not hesitate at all and made an appointment to see Dr. Su within a week. I started the supplements she gave me when I got home after my appointment. Within days I noticed a change in my body and how it was working. I had a noticeable increase in energy. I could get out of bed without an alarm and I felt rested. I wasn't having the usual 3 p.m. "crash" where I would be zapped of energy. My cognitive abilities were returning. My relationships with my family and friends started to improve because I had the energy and capability to nurture and foster those relationships again. I started to care about what I looked like when I left the house. My digestion improved. I was able to take care of chores/projects around the house after putting the kids to bed. Prior to meeting Dr. Su I was so tired by the end of the day I would collapse on the couch. I had the energy to play with my three children and really engage in and care about what was going on in their worlds. My relationship with my husband is so much more fulfilling because I am not constantly tired and grouchy because of not feeling well. I am so happy! I love my life again and it is all because of Dr. Su! Thank you!

After suffering for years with debilitating asthma and allergies that began at age 8, I worked with allergists and physicians over the course of most of my life to manage this "lifelong" disease.
In my twenties, I saw my symptoms getting worse, not better, despite my every day inhaler, pills and rescue inhaler. So, I started increasing my chiropractic visits because I had heard this could help. My chiropractor suggested that I eliminate eating dairy from my diet. I had done a cleanse and eliminated all milk products from my diet. I was able to stop taking my every day asthma pill with no increase in symptoms, only using my inhalers on occasion.
But I'm a singer and I noticed my voice was raspy and supporting my vocals with the proper amount of breath was difficult. Though I did not drink milk or products with milk in them, I felt a persistent wheeze and tightness in my upper bronchials. I was so frustrated because I never quite felt like air reached my lungs. The slightest change in weather or exercise or allergens would bring on an asthma attack. I also noticed I had severe mood swings with more and more periods of time feeling "down."
I did not want to be inhibited this way any longer, so I saw my physician and really pressed him for a way to cure my asthma. Before the appointment, I checked out every book I could find from the library about different theories of improving asthma from medicine, to breathing techniques to diet.
I went to my appointment with 20 questions seeking an answer. My final question was, "Do you think I could have a food allergy?" He thought it doubtful. I said I had problems with foods like avocado and bananas making my mouth itch to issues digesting protein, trouble breathing when I drink red wine, to getting a lot of mucous when I eat cheese (though I eliminated milk from my diet, I had not eliminated cheese).
He said we could do an elimination test but that it seemed really doubtful that I had any issues. Especially since red wine had fewer sulfites than white wine. His inclination was to adjust my drugs and have me back 2 more times to monitor my breathing and then decide if I needed to add a nebulizer to my regimen of medication. MORE MEDICATION!
I left feeling very troubled. If eliminating milk had improved things a little, wasn't it worth exploring other foods? I kept hearing my inner voice whispering to me, "It's the food, it's the food."
So I studied up online about naturopathy, homeopathy and holistic healing and sought the help of Dr. Su, whom I had met at a seminar held in her horse barn one year prior. We began working together in Mid-March of 2005.
After looking at my physical and emotional symptoms, we found that not only did I have a highly sensitive constitution that was adversely reactive to several foods, but also a thyroid function that was barely working which contributed to several things including my mood swings, as well as decreased kidney and liver function. This combination was making it difficult for me to regulate my hormones as well as digest food and take in nutrients and fully function.
She immediately suggested I follow the Eat Right for Your Blood Type diet for my blood type (a refreshing way to eat that actually mimicked what I naturally gravitated toward eating all this time, instead of following the guidelines that are suggested for everyone.) She also put me on a cleanse and put me on several supportive herbs for my immune system, and recommended journaling, yoga and flower essences to support the life changes I was experiencing.
Six weeks later it was full-on spring and the first week of gardening season, a time of year I loved being an avid gardener and dreaded due to the exacerbation of my allergies and asthma from the weather and plant life.
Not this time.
That first week of May, I skipped out to my garden, fully armed with my shovel in one hand and my rescue inhaler in the other. But only one of those tools was needed. After 3 hours of digging up dirt, moldy leaves and mulch to reveal new growth of plants, I suddenly realized I could breathe! I had no itching in my eyes, no wheezing, and no swelling. I cried. This was the first time I could ever remember being outside enjoying this simple task without it inducing any health problems whatsoever. Never, ever did I have one single memory of being outside like this without suffering.
Over the past few years I have continued to work with Dr. Su to undo years of steroid use and build up my immune system, thyroid function and hormonal balance. I have had the metal fillings removed from my mouth, which improved my thyroid function, and I have moved on now toward addressing getting off the extra pounds I gained in my twenties when my system was really haywire.
It's a process that I have come to enjoy because I know Dr. Su is supporting my entire being: physical, emotional, spiritual, and giving me tools that will support my body, not mask my symptoms. I live in Minneapolis but have come to view my trips to her office in Hudson as journeys toward an oasis of health.
In contrast, I have come to look at working with an M.D. as only a complementary diagnostic tool and not a resource for treatment because the only answer from an M.D. for most issues I have ever had - - from asthma to a sprained ankle to vertigo - - has been to take medication. And while I understand the need to do that at times, I can't accept that it is the only answer for everything, especially now that I have seen something else work in a more lasting way.
So what I believe now is that there is a place and a time for so many kinds of health support and treatment but it has to be up to the person seeking help to get in tune with themselves and seek out all the possibilities and decide for themselves the best course for them among the treatments being offered. After 20 years of living with debilitating asthma, I just now feel like I'm starting to really experience life.
If we can choose the ones that heal our bodies, make them work better on their own and make them stronger, then I believe we will have the keys to lasting health.
Don't ever stop, Dr. Su. We need you and your spirit!
I love you Dr. Su!

I am a patient of Dr. Su and since childhood in India I have always used Homeopathy and Naturopathy alone. In India most of us don't even know how to respect their bodies and treat the body like a bag of medicines which can only be treated with more chemicals.
I have had severe hypothyroidism and that was because of fluorides in the drinking water which was found by Dr. Su and never figured out by the medical doctors.
My daughter who is 8 years old, since she was a child has had fluorosis followed by other problems was similarly never found by doctors until Dr. Su.
My husband who had a lower heart beat and slower blood clotting because of chemicals in his pancreas was also never found by doctors until Dr. Su.
It is a shame that this country is run by capitalists who worship money and have no sense of unity with nature. All the pharmaceutical companies can think of is making more money instead of finding ways of harmonizing health through nature.
With best wishes,
Roopa
From personal experience, my family has benefited tremendously from our naturopathic, Dr. Susan Wahl N.D. My two sons and I have received treatment from Dr. Wahl since 1995 in Hudson, WI. In 1995, my younger son who is now fourteen went from a very sickly infant to a robust mischievous infant in a matter of months after seeing Dr. Wahl. With homeopathic remedies, my son was able to regain quickly a balance in his vital systems and he healed fast because he was so young. My older son, who is nineteen now, starting seeing Dr. Wahl at five years old in 1995. He took several years of treatments and remedies to heal and now has the knowledge of how to stay healthy.
I am certain my sons have a much higher quality of life due to their visits with and remedies given to them by Dr. Wahl. The boys love visiting Dr. Wahl, as she is a spirited woman who cares deeply about our youth. I myself suffered from a variety of chronic ailments as a mother that robbed me of my energy. Dr. Wahl helped me on the path to recovery and now I have more energy than I did twenty years ago due to her educating me and more importantly believing that my health and well-being had value! She helped me to help myself and keep us on the pathway to good health.
During their growing up years my sons went to their medical doctor on average once every two years, usually for a sport physical or due to an accident of some sort. My older boy decreased the number of ear infections and allergy symptoms by 85% after using homeopathic remedies. My younger boy had one ear infection throughout his childhood. Both boys rarely miss school due to illness and today both are scholar athletes in middle school and as a college freshman. I as their mom have enough energy to be the best mom I can because I was able to get my body back in balance with Dr. Wahl's assistance.

I was having problems with numb limbs and all over body numbness - like my body shut right down to nothing. I couldn't sleep even though I was extra tired but I felt like I didn't have to sleep. I was locking up in the joints and some days I could hardly walk which wasn't good at all at age 51. My health was failing and I knew if I came to Dr. Su she would have the answer. I've gotten 100% health with Dr. Su's program and by having the 9 silver fillings in my teeth removed. Dr. Su I feel has saved my life because I was about that far gone. I wish I could tell the whole world about it. My life, family and world is back to normal. I have told many people about it.
Love,
Rose
For the first time in 10 years I am able to sleep through the night. My son and daughter have autism and I brought them in to see Dr. Su. She has told me more about my kids than the years I've spent with the doctors. My son is now sleeping all night, isn't crying and stopped wetting his bed. He is more vocal and communicating. His teacher asked me what I did because of his remarkable improvement. He has more energy and feels great. He told me the other day that he doesn't need his aide at school anymore. Friends, family, neighbors and teachers have noticed the dramatic change. For the first time ever he told me he loves me. He loves taking his nutritional supplements and every morning his mouth is open and he is asking to take the supplements that Dr. Su recommended. He said to me thank you for helping me see the horses and for fixing my brain.
My daughter now has a confidence that she never had. She sat down and drew a comic book for 3 hours when she never drew before. I woke up for the first time and realized I don't have to worry anymore. I have told everyone I know with autistic children to see Dr. Su.
Thank you so much Dr. Su,
Jina
My body hurt all over and just to function was a chore. It even would hurt when someone would give me a hug. I was at the point that it didn't matter if I left this earth. I had fibromyalgia and I kept searching for help until my niece told me how Dr. Su helped her. I scheduled an appointment and saw Dr. Su who recommended nutritional supplements. I changed my diet and had my mercury fillings removed.
Today I feel like a whole new person. I am more active, I sleep better and have no more anxiety attacks. I have my life back. My family comes to see Dr. Su and she has helped my sister who had fibromyalgia.

I was feeling awful, tired, experiencing hot sweats, pacing at night and not sleeping. My husband was dying of cancer and I wasn't doing good. The medical doctor wanted me to go on medication, but I knew that wasn't the answer so I came to see Dr. Su. She recommended I take vitamins and minerals to clean my system. After doing that I started to feel good.
Now I feel great, my life is good, I've been traveling and I'm happy. After my husband passed away I retired and have been doing great. I came back from my husband's illness in mind, body and spirit by following Dr. Su's advice, following my blood type diet and taking vitamins. Listen to your body, listen to your gut. You know in your heart what you need. You have to listen.
Thank you Dr. Su,
Ruth
My symptoms started out as inner ear problems such as tenitis, menieres disease, extreme low energy and my nerves felt shot. I saw 3 chiropractors who each had different theories. After long treatments with each chiropractor nothing changed. I also saw an ear/nose/throat doctor who couldn't help me. After being misdiagnosed and slowing dying for the past 13 years I saw Dr. Su. The root canal on my front tooth was done improperly and became infected. The infection was throughout my body and my liver, kidney and thyroid were underfunctioning. I started taking nutritional supplements that Dr. Su recommended and had my root canal cleaned and redone. I feel I'm about 85% back to normal and have been on a healing path ever since I saw Dr. Su. Thank you!

I was sweating so much at night that my sheets would get soaked. My coordination was off that I couldn't drive and I would fall down while getting the mail. I also had severe shakes and high blood pressure. I saw 3 medical doctors, including one at the Mayo and spent a year with each one. Tons of tests were done on me including a sleep study during which I almost stopped breathing. I was told I didn't have sleep apenia. I was tired because I was up every night sweating. I then saw Dr. Su who recommended nutritional supplements and now I no longer sweat, my shaking has stopped and my coordination is back so I can drive again. I'm working on lowering my blood pressure so I can work again. The internist at the Mayo said my improvement is remarkable. Thank you Dr. Su.

In January I had severe hemorrhoids and pain all day long for months which affected my whole being. I changed my diet and struggled until May when I saw Dr. Su. I was skeptical of her machine and she explained it well. I had a cracked tooth, which my dentist 6 months earlier said I didn’t have. A dentist recommended by Dr. Su replaced all of my mercury fillings. I started taking the supplements and within a month I was feeling 70% better and no more pain all day. After 3 months on supplements it’s pretty much gone. Following the blood type diet and general recommendations helped me a lot. Thank you Dr. Su.

A few months after seeing Dr. Su I lost 20 pounds! My cholesterol went from 218 to 165, my triglycerides went from 170 to 35 and my HDL and LDL got much better. I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication because my blood pressure is 106/16. I feel wonderful and my family also comes to see Dr. Su.

My 5 year old daughter was told by the Optometrist she needed glasses before entering kindergarden. We then took her to see Dr. Su and within a few months we brought her back to the Optometrist who said her vision is now 20/20, which is something he said doesn't happen. A year later we had her retested by the eye doctor and the 20/20 vision was still in place. Now that's an awesome recovery for a child told she would wear glasses for the rest of her life!!
