Many prospective clients are interested in a Naturopath's background. On this page, I will describe my history and include comments from my clients.

Client Comments

The truth is I would like to write a testimonial about the miracles Dr. Karlfeldt has accomplished in changing and even saving my life. I arrived at his office with severe ADHD symptoms accompanying a high drug dependency for this ailment. Also, with symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, depression and severe emotional trauma which included post traumatic stress syndrome. I was an unhealthy overweight (26 pounds) woman for my 5'3" frame and lived a life of mainly isolation and solitude. I had sought help for years from other medical resources without success and then finally decided to try a medical alternative.

 

Dr. Karlfeldt's caring and supportive nature and impressive healing background gave me the courage to dedicate myself to learning about, following and reaping the health rewards that were soon to follow. His belief in my recovery gave me to courage to believe too. And as a result of this belief his naturopathic treatment has literally changed and transformed my life.

 

My physical, emotional, mental, and yes, spiritual ailments have been healed or eliminated. I no longer suffer from daily anxiety, drug dependency, fatigue, or paralyzing emotional blockages. And as an added bonus I lost the 26 pounds and feel healthier than ever. I now understand that I choose to take care of and treat my whole mind and body as one. I have learned to look for the core of my health problems and seek healing for those ailments instead of using my old ways of treating the symptoms with isolation, denial or drugs.

 

I have been completely transformed and now not only have a life, but enjoy it as well. A life complete with energy, mental clarity and excitement of the coming day, and finally the freedom from years of emotional damage. Today I live and experience a positive energy and live a serene, stable, and very grateful existence. When I run into friends or associates they all comment the same, "WOW, you look great!" They cannot believe I am the same person. With heartfelt appreciation, Thank you Dr. Karlfeldt - Grace Sinclair

 

Dr. Karlfeldt – “Thank you so much for all the care and concern and I might add patience as I got better a day at a time.  I am so thankful I had you to guide me through the maze of all the "stuff" out there!!  I could not have done it by myself!”  Respectfully, Lindy Gardner

  

"Dr. Karlfeldt has empowered my body to do what it was created to do all along - be healthy!  I had a much compromised immune system, diagnosed Lupus, skin disorder and stress way out of control!  At one point I could not walk or keep up my daily routine and had extremely high joint pain.  I had a choice, to walk in fear with debilitating drugs or in peace with the non-invasive natural way of healing that our creator designed for my body!  Dr. Karlfeldt came alongside and gently guided me nutritionally and encouraged me until my body was healthy again!  He is very gifted and I highly recommend him!”  Lindy Gardner - Ministry Leader

           

“He has effectively addressed all my health issues - particularly my stress issues. He can help where others can’t.” Monika Blodget - Lawyer

 

 “Nice person, amazing in all he does. That foot thing! But it worked better than MD’s at UCLA, Acupuncturists, massage - anything. And I tried it all!” Ita Kreft - Professor

 

 “Unique! Effective! Dr. Karlfeldt is simply delightful to visit and I come away feeling refreshed and healthier than before. He is an incredible resource for our overall health  and well-being! I highly recommend him for anyone interested in positive, safe results without drugs and expensive treatments.” Eileen Scheuman - Landscape Architect

 

 “After following the program Dr. Karlfeldt suggested, my full blown Psoriasis was cleared in two and a half months. He has successfully helped me with all my family’s health concerns.” Barbara Hedges - Nutrition Manager

 

“I found Dr. Karlfeldt's treatment based on my individual needs rather than the "one size fits all" mentality. Naturopathic medicine supports the statement, "Given the right tools, the body can heal itself." Not only is this an effective modality for myself, but a great complement to treatment my clients receive through massage therapy.” Kimberlee H. Anderson, CMT, NHC, ARII

 

“I have the highest regard for Dr. Karlfeldt and his methods. My allergies have been under control more since under his care than any traditional doctor’s care.” Kelly Moren - Visual Effects Supervisor

 

“He put me on a supplement regimen that improved my well-being and especially my energy level, as well as dealing with my medical condition.” Stephen Fleitz - Artist

 

“Knowledgeable, caring and careful. I made a progress fighting tumors, growth stopped.” Alex Babichenko - Programmer

 

“He is great!” Sam Pillsbury - Film Director

 

“Dr. Karlfeldt helped me with reoccurring Athlete’s foot, anxiety and overall immune/digestive system.” Julie M. Brackenbury - Assistant

 

Dr. Karlfeldt – “Thanks so much for presenting information on “Healthy Food Choices for Kids”.  The information was not only helpful, but gave insight into the many different hurdles that families may encounter with their youth and food issues.  Thank you for personalizing each participant’s individual needs.  It seemed like there were many questions about daily eating habits and the affects of different food items relating to behaviors.” Deb McCain - Parent Education Coordinator

 

“I am 39 years old and work with Medicare recipients and their Part D prescription drug plan. I have been suffering from acid reflux for the past 10 years and have been taking several prescriptions drugs (Prilosec, Nexium, Aciphex) to control the pain. After seeing how many of my clients are on some type of acid reflux medication, I decided I did not want to end up taking it myself for the rest of my life. I wanted to fix the problem instead of covering it up. I was referred to Dr. Michael Karlfeldt by a good friend and current patient. Prior to seeing Dr. Karlfeldt, I could not miss one day of my medication or I would be in extreme pain. Even water would cause severe irritation. After only five months, I was able to discontinue all prescription medications for my reflux. I can now manage minor heartburn with over the counter remedies and breathing. Dr. Karlfeldt has taught me to become aware of my body signals and how to read them. He has also taught me how to manage the stress and eating habits that contributed to my acid reflux to begin with.” - Genie Brollier

 

“Dr. Karlfeldt has helped me immensely this past year. I came to him to work on issues relating to my Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and winter depressions.  He helped me to find more energy and enthusiasm to face each day. By taking his vitamin regiments and using his methods of Auriculotherapy my husband and I are experiencing a more intimate and enriched love life as well. I will take all my medical need to Dr. Karlfeldt first before any “regular” practicing doctor. thank you Dr. Karlfeldt!” – Carmenn Wilker

 

“I could be a walking billboard for Dr. Karlfeldt! I am so grateful to him for giving me the feeling of having my life back. Once you experience pain on a continuous basis for years, everything gets foggy and dull. I hadn’t realized to what extent it had limited my life until the fourth day after my visit with him. That morning I awoke to such a feeling of energy and clarity that I felt I could take on the world! Through his treatment plan for me and the Auriculotherapy I was treated with in his office, for back pain and osteoarthritis in my hands, I was able to begin doing things again I hadn’t done for years. The old me was back! It is so comforting to know through natural healing remedies my body could strengthen and heal and not just mask symptoms as so many pharmaceuticals do. Dr. Karlfeldt has a caring and concerned nature and is very knowledgeable and dedicated in his field. Tusen Takk! (Thousand Thanks).” - Gro Puett

 

“Dr. Karlfeldt is the first doctor I have ever been to who actually listens to what I say and hears me. Just knowing that someone cares to listen to what you have to say since you know your body best – you live with it twenty-four hours a day - gives you a sense of calm and relief. He doesn’t judge you – he just cares. He has helped tremendously with my Fibromyalgia and Gout.” - Hope Lawrence

 

 

 

Why I Chose Naturopathy

 

I met Dr. Ingemar Wiberg, a leading Swedish Naturopathic Doctor, in Zollikofen, Switzerland when I was 13 years old. My Mother and I were staying at the same Bed and Breakfast. Dr. Wiberg seemed fascinating. We spoke about many things and found we had much in common. He took a genuine interest in me. Soon we became fast friends. Since I lived with my Mother and had minimal contact with my Father, Dr. Wiberg became like a father figure to me. He and his wife invited me to visit his home and clinic in the northern part of Sweden where he lived. My Mother knew of his reputation as an honorable man and brilliant doctor so she felt at ease sending me there. When I stayed with Dr. Wiberg, his wife, and eight children, there was no room in the house for me so I slept on one of the beds/treatment tables in his clinic. I saw many charts that related to Naturopathic Medicine - charts on Herbs, Fasting Techniques, Reflexology, Anatomy, etc. When I visited, he always tested my feet using Reflexology to see if I had any imbalances in my system. He then would prescribe supplements to support my weak areas determined by the Reflexology testing. He would tell me, for example, to take herbs such as Golden Rod, Dandelion, and Gentian for my Kidneys, Liver, and Colon since those were my weak areas. I was so impressed that such simple things from Nature made me feel better.

 

Having such a continuous exposure to Naturopathy on a regular basis made me develop a passion and deep interest in it. After finishing my second year of schooling in the Engineering Program at Fredrika Bremerskolan, Dr. Wiberg invited me to move in with his family and study full time with him in his practice. He gave me a list of books to read that focused on techniques of Reflexology, Detoxification, Herbology, Nutritional Therapy, Healing through Juicing, Anatomy, and the Cause of Disease according to Naturopathic Principles. We would sit for hours on end discussing the material. Dr. Wiberg told me he believed in my potential. He wanted me to be the best Naturopath I could be. From that point on, I began my seven year apprenticeship with him. The training was demanding, rigorous, and carefully supervised. He was renowned in Sweden. He was the Primary Designer of the Curriculum of the leading Swedish Naturopathic School – Birger Ledins Naturläkarskolan. He gave me the gift of his experience and opened my eyes to the world of Natural Healing.
