Testimonials

Hi David,

Thank you for your consult this morning! They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so I wanted to send you a before and after of myself….. Over a year ago I was 180 pounds suffering from ulcerative colitis, PCOS, manic depression, bladder prolapse, and severe yeast infections and constant uti pain. I was pale, my hair was falling out, I was constantly bloated, incredibly moody, and miserable…. I took rowasa for my colitis, lamictal and anti anxiety meds for my bipolar disorder, diflucan for the yeast, and a daily antibiotic for my chronic uti’s… It’s been 6 months since I have started your protocol and a acupuncture program…. I am no longer on any prescription medication, I’m down to 120 pounds, my yeast infections are almost completely gone, basically my whole body has changed for the better! People ask me if I do triathlon training because my body is so “fit” but honestly my exercise is walking my dogs…. It’s amazing what the human body can do when you give it what it needs to heal itself. You have been a blessing to me, and you have helped me change my life forever….
Please feel free to use this as a testimonial…..Thanks you!

Dear Dr. David,

I have spent several months on the Candida rotation protocol. Your input over the phone has helped me immensely. When I first started the program my mind was so foggy and I couldn’t concentrate. I was having trouble sleeping and I was highly sensitive to smells. I have lost 90lbs and feel so much better. I do not have to take anti-depressants or my blood pressure pills any longer. I do not crave sweets and I feel really good. I have multiple sclerosis, osteo arthritis, scoliosis and fibromyalgia. All of these illnesses have improved since ridding my system of candida. I still have a ways to go, but I know with your help I can do it. I want to thank you so much for your help.

After months of sleep problems for my husband, we finally decided to test his neurotransmitters, cortisol and melatonin. I had come across David’s website long ago and always thought he had excellent perspective and information on a variety of issues. I recently noticed that he offered the NeuroScience Sleep Profile with a consultation, so I decided to give him a try.

Long story short, I have personally interacted with countless health professionals for my own challenges, both in person and remotely. I have found few that truly listen well; have the time, interest, expertise and patience to really help with tricky situations that have not responded to “101-level” approaches; and don’t push to sell you a bundle of products related to cookie-cutter solutions. David proved to be one of those few.

He heard what I had to say, asked the right questions, and brought all that information into his interpretation of the lab results, as well as his recommendations for resolving Paul’s sleep challenges. He offered several approaches, but made it clear what would really get to the core of the problem for long-term resolution vs. treating symptoms short-term. He also prioritized primary recommendations and explained the reasoning behind each. When I told him that an “all at once” approach did not appeal for several reasons, he understood. His primary recommendation actually required no supplements at all!

Paul implemented #1 and #2 out of 5, and his sleep improved dramatically within days. I’m pretty informed about nutritional supplements as they apply to various health problems, but I never would have identified those recommended as part of a sleep solution. We still have work to do, but seems like my husband is well on his way to a happier body and consistently improved sleep quality.

David exceeded our expectations, and talking with him was an easy pleasure – he is very open and down-to-earth, as well as practical and flexible in helping make recommendations doable. And I say all of this without ever having met him in person! We’ll definitely consult with him in the future to keep on track with our health challenges.

Thank you, David

Dr. David Schlesinger,

I just wanted to thank you for all of your help while I was using your Candida Rotation Protocol along with the Liver Cleanse you recommended. I am so glad that I found your website and program that you prescribe for Candida, using a Rotation Protocol which proved to be very effective. I have been dealing with Candida for years. I like that you are always available for consultations, and very patient with me and all of the questions I had during the time I was following your plan. You were also very knowledgeable about how these herbs worked and how to adjust the plan for me individually, which really helped me. My digestive system is so much better since I did the plan along with the Liver Cleanse. I do not take any more colon cleansers, my bowels just move everyday several times a day whenever I eat. I like the advice you gave me on using the electrolytes and minerals supplements when I discussed how I felt after the first Liver cleanse. A minor adjustment of adding those two things made a big difference, and now I feel great. Your website is very informative, and you are very helpful with the consultations that you offer.
Thank you

Dear David:

Thank you so deeply and sincerely for taking the time to answer some of my questions regarding diet. I have followed your site throughout the years, and I truly believe that you are one of the most intelligent, practical, down-to-earth, knowledgeable healers I know in this field. I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge set with the world and with me.
Your generosity and kindness are well-noted.
Best wishes,

Thank you so much for the free consultation. I am eternally grateful.
You have cleared up years of doubt.

I just wanted to say a really big thank you to you, for the free phone consults. Everywhere I go, when people mention candida, I say modernherbalist.com!! I want to tell everybody. I finally feel like this program is one that actually WORKS. Thank you for all the suggestions, I will implement them stat. I remember thinking that the diet with this program is too strict and how could I ever follow it.. But now at week 10, it’s so not the end of the world. If I come to the conclusion that it’s really in my best interest to do another rotation, I know that I can do it.. I really feel like your program is DO-able. I am a walking testimonial for the success of your protocol even though I am still on it. Thanks a whole big bunch! Julie Barksdale Goleta, CA

I believe I had candida overgrowth for nearly 20 years, culminating in extreme chronic fatigue, untreatable yeast infections, constant bloating, constipation, diarrhea, sinus and ear infections, you name it. I had taken large doses of powerful antibiotics as a teenager to fight a severe skin infection and that kicked everything off. By 35, I was desperate. I found your web site and it seemed like the most thorough and informed program I could find. It has been almost 2 years since I completed the program and I am still seeing improvements in many aspects of my health and body. I feel better than I did when I was 12 years old. I believe this saved my life and gave me back a quality of life I thought was gone forever. Thank you sounds almost ridiculous, but thank you.

GI-Encaps have stopped my incapacitating abdominal pain. Your other products and services are GREAT as well. These GI-Encaps have made the difference between my candida and staph die-off incapacitating me with a year of abdominal pain to returning to balanced eating, exercise, and work. Your other products have helped me as well!
THANK YOU.

Dear Dr Dave

It worked!!! I’m writing to you 18 weeks after first starting your Candida Clearance Rotation Protocol and am absolutely delighted to say that it’s true – it works. I can’t thank you enough – I feel on top of the world and even better than I did before my health was so badly affected by Candida Albicans. The bloating has long gone (as has the awful fatigue) and my energy levels are better than ever.

It is not a programme to be undertaken by those who are undedicated to really wanting to rid themselves of the problem – the first few weeks especially take a tremendous amount of strength and willpower but for me, the second half was a breeze as all my good eating habits were well in place by then and my body more used to all the remedies. Your constant support via both telephone and email meant that I never felt alone or lost and all of my questions were answered so promptly, proffesionally and with an amazing amount of knowledge.

I wish that I’d found you as soon as my problem first reared it’s ugly hed as I would have saved myself a lot of time, money, dispair and disaapointment. But, now that the Candida’s gone, all those feelings are in the past and all I’m left with is a feeling of great joy and immense gratitude to you for all you have done and everything you have taught me.

Kindest regards

Dear Dr Dave

I just had to email you to let you know how impressed I am by the fantastic service I have received from the Modern Herbalist and how, overnight, your telephone consultation has transformed me from a worried and depressed Candida Albicans sufferer into a happy, postiive thinking woman who is looking forward to a healthy future.

When I found your website, I had already been trying to eliminate the candida from my body by means of a sugar free diet and medication for 5 months and was beginning to lose hope as I had certainly improved since I was first diagnosed but simply did not feel ‘right’ in so many ways. As soon as I read your Candida Rotataion Protocol diet, I tweaked my eating habits so that they were totally in tune with your recommendations and ‘wow’ – what immediate results I’ve had!! I feel better than I have in months and suddenly as if there is going to be an end to this battle – something that I’ve not felt before.

Your telephone consultation was the best money I’ve ever spent. After months of meeting regular doctors who have looked at me as if I’m mad when I talk about my problem, you were the complete opposite. You’d thoroughly read my medical report, had heaps of fantastic ideas and were totally realistic whilst being very positive. I enjoyed so much listening to what you had to say and now I know why so many people write to you to thank you – all those testimonials about your attitude and expertise and kindness are so true!!

So I’ve ordered the programme and although I know I have a fair way to go, I KNOW I’m going to be writing to you again in a few months to tell you that I’ve beaten the Candida. I’ll let you know how I get on and again, THANK YOU!!

Lisa R (Switzerland).

Several years ago I was at my wits end. Poor health, no energy and feeling more drained and depressed by the day. At the same time, I was having to struggle with a very heavy workload. What a difference one phone call can make. I was quite cynical about phoning for a consultation I’d found on the web but so desperate that I gave it a go. As a result, I was correctly diagnosed on a number of health issues – in particular a deep seated problem with candida. The diet plan combined with pill combination was tough going and I cannot say that I did not succumb from time to time. But it worked! I now have all the energy I need to run two successful businesses and importantly a much better understanding about how my body works, the importance of diet and just how damaging chronic stress can become. I would highly recommend the integrity, authenticity and helpful team at The Modern Herbalist.

Thanks Good Dr.
You have helped me so much and I am very grateful. Although I am 48 years old, I should not feel ill and I felt this way for 4 years, before taking your protocol and other remedies/suggestions. Issues pertaining to male and cognitive health are of much interest to me now, and it is great to have a knowledgeable male like yourself, who I can talk with and learn ways to restore and perserve my health.
Thanks Dave,

Dr. Dave:
A few minutes ago a read the testimonials at your web page.
Yes, I would like to agree that your knowledge, experience, and personal touch are not so common. I started the Candida Rotation Protocol a few weeks ago. There are still ups and downs, but I feel that it started slowly to work. I am that very bad case who almost died last summer. There is a lot information about Candida Albicans – some good some bad – but your approach looks very complete and professional. It makes sense and it is still quite affordable. I started a different program before, but it was extremely expensive and I got very ill. The service which you and Sherry provide is excellent and it gives me hope. Candida yeast overgrowth is a very difficult illness. It is, as somebody named it “The Monster”.

Thank you

Dear Dr. Dave:

For the past 14 years, I suffered with chronic sinus problems. For five years, I had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, because my head felt so full. Recently, I tested positive for h. pylori. I took a triple antibiotic cocktail prescribed by the doctor. The doctor even told me the antibiotics were nasty stuff and I would feel sick from them. Well, I felt fine on the antibiotics and I didn’t think they were working. It turned out I was right- I took another test and the h. pylori was still there. The doctor wanted to prescribe me a different round of antibiotics and I politely said no. So, I turned to your website for help. You suggested I take Mastica. Well, immediately I noticed a difference, because my sinus condition improved and my food allergies lessened. I plan to stay on the mastica a little longer and then go back to the doctor and take another test for h. pylori. Regardless of the results, my health has improved! My food sensitivies have decreased and I feel much better. Excess mucous secretions are way down. For the first time, I am hopeful that I can completely reverse the chronic sinusitis that has adversely affected the quality of my life for the last 14 years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart- Dr. Dave, you have helped me more than the “specialists” who didn’t know what to do.
Your patience is extraordinary- Best Regards, W.S.

I just want to say that I was treated for the bad yeast problem that I had. I’ve been wanting to email my testimony I feel wonderful and I’ve told every woman I know who has chronic yeast infections. I was treated with the Y-Stat and Tea Tree suppositories, SF-722 and the AVI cream. I also went on the diet that Dr. advised. It really works. It’s been a whole year now since I’ve had a yeast infection….I still do not eat a lot of sweets like I used to, I quit drinking sodas and food that has a lot of yeast in it. Although I lost a lot of weight I feel wonderful….. Thanks so much

Dr. Dave:
My name is Jon and I’ve been on the Candida Clearance Protocol for about 3 months now. On your advice, I’m taking the program very slowly, which seems to be working very well for me. Although I do sometimes get a little impatient with the process, I understand that healing takes time, and I do feel like I am making steady progress. So I’m very determined to stick with this program for as long as it takes. Since starting the program, I not only feel much better physically, but I also feel much stronger mentally and emotionally as well. And the best part is that I finally feel like I have some sense of control over my own health. I am very grateful to you and your staff for helping me regain my health. Over the past several years, I’ve been to several doctors and “specialists” trying to figure out why I felt so tired and miserable all the time, but they were never able to help, and my condition just got worse. I felt like those doctors never had a clue what was wrong with me, or how to make me well again. You’re the first doctor that’s been able to actually make me feel better in about 6 years, and I appreciate that very much.

Hello

One and a half years ago I was diagnosed with a severe case of candida. The road to this diagnosis was quite long.
In the beginning I visited every doctor possible in order to find out what was wrong with me. I had terrible stomach aches, couldn’t eat anything without becoming bloated, went from diarrhea to being constipated, was very tired and had constant
breakouts on my chin. After having endured every relevant medical test available, the doctors diagnosed me with IBS (Irritable bowel symptom), and sent me home with useless medications and advice.
A friend whose mother was diagnosed with candida heard of my complaints and recommended that I read about candida, since all my symptoms match a “classic candida ill person.”
Luckily and by pure chance I came across your website while browsing the net for further information on candida, and the rest, as they say, is history….. I purchased your candida rotation control package, held on to a very strict candida diet and after a few weeks started to feel better. It has now been a year and I feel like a new person, revitalized and clean of the candida.
Your patience in answering my numerous questions and your vast knowledge on the subject were an integral part of my healing.
Thank you,

Dear Dr. Dave,
I had a phone consultation with you a couple of months ago, after purchasing the Modern Herbalist’s Candida Rotation Protocol. I was impressed with how you listened to my experiences and symptoms and didn’t push me to buy anything off of your Web site. You had some very insightful suggestions for things I should try and supplements that I could “get from the local health food store”. In addition to clearing the Candida, you recommended that I have my mercury fillings removed by a biological dentist, that I take several supplements for liver health and detoxification, and that I try Dr. Hulda Clark’s home-remedy for cleansing my liver and gallbladder. Soon after we spoke, I had my urine metallic mercury levels checked, and they were extremely elevated. I followed your suggestions, and I am happy to report that I am starting to see results after nearly a year of feeling miserable and bouncing from doctor after doctor in desperation. In fact, in the last couple of weeks since the last of my fillings was replaced, I have had days where I have actually felt fantastic, and I have had several of these in a row. This weekend I did my first liver/gallbladder cleanse. What an experience! I have never seen anything like it, and I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and alert. I am just about to start weeks 9-14 of the Candida rotation, and I am hopeful that I’ll be back to normal after that. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know that your caring, expertise and products do make a difference in people’s lives.
Thank you, Stephanie

I just wanted to e-mail you and thank you for your products. I was pretty desparate with vaginal yeast infections. I feel now that I can have control and not have to depend on my doctor for treatment. I have used Thuja extract and also the Y-stat suppositories and both work extremely well with no side effects. I am grateful for the worldwide net for helping me to find your web site. Thanks again. Lana L.

I have been dealing with recurrent yeast infections for over 4 years. I came upon your site looking for help, and i found it! I read all the desriptions of the medication, and found the y-stat suppositories. I don’t know what made me choose them, but it has given me relief that i haven’t felt since I was fourteen years old ( I’m 26). Although, I haven’t had symptoms of yeast infection all that time, I always had a little discharge. Now, I don’t have any! I feel like a completely different person! I feel like a new woman, and I have you to thank. I can’t tell you how thankful I am. No one has any clue how terrible something like that is, unless they experience it themselves. And I also know more women than me have these problems, but just don’t talk about it.
I think it deserves to be addressed. Thank you again!

Dr. Dave,
I just wanted to thank you very very much for your time and the knowledge you shared with me this morning. I really appreciate the fact that you are so willing to communicate about this, shed light, and offer solutions. I really feel a lot better knowing that there are people like you who understand this condition and, unlike the doctors who have dismissed it for reasons of not thinking it is serious or not believing in a treatment, really have an informed and strong opinion about what the best course of action is. Also, I am really impressed at the time you take with patients to share your thoughts in a really understandable dialogue (to think that I actually understand what “pleomorphism” is and its implications for treatment after our talk!). I thank you again, and after looking more at your website, I guess I owe your grandmother thanks, too, for starting you on your journey in this field.

Hi Dr. Dave et. al.
Just had to tell you that I am amazed. I was having a nasty outbreak of Shingles. The patch of blisters on my back had been horrible for about 3 weeks and I was very sick too. In desperation to find some relief, I decided to try your Enzyme Therapy. It came the day a new patch of blisters had erupted and I was so distraught over the idea of going through 3-4 more weeks of agony. I took 15-20 pills a day for 3 days and it was almost miraculous–the existing blisters healed over as if they had never been blisters and they had no pain or itching. The new patch disappeared. And a very bothersome patch of 2 small blisters on my nose healed over and disappeared–all seemingly overnight!! I am astounded!!
I have purchased your Candida Rotation Protocol and am beginning it tomorrow, but I just had to tell you about the Enzymes!
Thanks!

Dear Dr. Dave,

This note is quite tardy! I would like to thank you so very much for your kindness! It really meant a lot to me the time you spent talking with me about your candida protocol last year. I really was in quite a dangerous predicament and coming up with dead end after dead end. Whilst my health still needs some work, I am at least out of the danger zone I was in.The rotational program is excellent, and as a Naturopathic practioner myself, I have had great results with my clients, and other practioners I have shared your information with have had similarly excellent results! I would like to commend you for the fantastic work you are doing and for being such a lovely caring, enthusiastic, and inspirational person.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Tereena Tobias

Dear Dr. Dave:

I am writing to thank you for your wonderful website. There are very few doctors out there who have your degree of knowledge and understanding in treating chronic candida infections. I have suffered for so long with candida infections,invironmental sensitivities, and food allergies. I have researched and learned all I can to empower myself. I found it so frustrating that most of my doctors were not informed about this condition. Many of the treatments I tried were not successful. The information you have provided has helped me so much. The products are of the highest quality and your prices are very resonable. You have been very helpful in answering all my questions and showed true compassion and care. It is a privledge to work with you. Thanks for all your help. My quality of life has dramatically improved!

DEAR DR. DAVE

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THE SYSTEMIC ENZYMES FOR MY INFLAMMATION. THEY REALLY WORKED. MY LOWER BACK STOPPED HURTING AND MY URINARY TRACT IS FEELING GOOD TOO. I THINK THAT THEY EVEN HELPED MY LEAKY GUT BECAUSE I RARELY FEEL FATIGUE OR ACHY ANYMORE WHEN I EAT FOOD.
I RECENTLY DID THE HULDA CLARK LIVER CLEANSE AND IT WAS INTENSE BUT I FEEL AMAZING. I HAVE ONE MORE MONTH TO GO ON THE CANDIDA PROTOCOL AND I HAVE ONLY CHEATED ON MY DIET ABOUT FOUR TIMES I THINK.
I REALLY FEEL A LOT BETTER AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. YOU REALLY HELPED ME TURN MY LIFE AROUND. I’M GOING TO TRY HARD TO MAKE IT A STRONG FINISH THIS MONTH AND HOPEFULLY HAVE A FULL RECOVERY.

SINCERELY
JOEY CURTIS

Dr. Dave,

Thank you for your prompt response on the liver cleansing. I also wanted to send a letter of thanks to you. I have been on your Candida Cleansing Program for 10 weeks now and I am convinced that it has helped me greatly. I spoke with you on the phone just prior to starting your program. At that time I was experiencing mental fog, fatigue and vaginal discharge even with my already modified diet, which consisted of whole foods and very little sugar or white bread. I was also self medicating with Caprilic Acid, Biotin, Yogurt, Paco D’Arco tea etc.

I must admit that the first few weeks were tough. But as time went on I started feeling better. My symptoms are almost 100% gone. The only side effect really, is that my stomach becomes a little upset from time to time, but that’s just from the pill regimine. I’ve done the liver cleansing once and plan to do it more times. This too has helped me. I have even been able to go back on the birth control pill, without any problems arising. Previously I had to get off of it because it worsened my symptoms.

After the cleasing regiment is over, I plan to follow with your rebuilding supplements. In my opinion your program is totally worth the money. I am so appreciative there is someone out there to help me. I also want to say that your supplements are of the highest quality at the lowest prices. I am especially thankful for the Thuja extract which is great for preventing problems right after my period ends.

Also, I wanted to let you know that I purchased SLA brand Stevia (pure Stevia) and a Cooking with Stevia cook book. Making some of these treats really helped me during the holidays. I personally have never had an adverse affect with Stevia. I cannot wait to see how great I feel once I am done with the cleansing portion.

Thank you!! Jennifer

Hi Dr. Dave,
I just wanted to thank you for this candida clearance protocol.
I ended up clearing it in 2 months time and this was my 4th attempt.
I feel great! I think this is a really effective program and have been recommending it to many candida sufferers.
I appreciate the time you took to speak with me on the phone a few months back, the clear and thorough protocol, and the efficient shipping of products.

Peace, Lisa

Dr. Schlesinger,
I would like to update you on my condition after your free phone consultation which we had early in August of this year. As discussed over the phone, I had experienced the typical symptoms of Candida for the last four years, including unwanted weight loss, constipation/digestive disorders, yeast infection, joint pain,lack of energy, fuzzy mind, allergies, among others. I had also described of how I tried anti Candida diets the past three years, and various anti candida protocols without success and how it all started about four years months after I had a root canal done and then filled with amalgam).

With this you suggested that I have my amalgams removed in suspicion of mercury toxicity. You were also able to recommend me a holistic dentist here in the Bay Area.

Anyway, it’s been over two months since our phone consultation, and only five weeks since I had my amalgams removed. All I can say is THANK YOU!

After having my amalgams removed, I felt like a helmet had been removed from my head; the dentist I saw says he has had other patients feel like a ‘veil’ had been taken off their face. Anyway, that was only my first impression after the dental visit. After that, I began to regain my energy; before I could only have energy for a few hours a day (8 hrs at most), and then to feel fatigued all over). Since then, I have felt so energetic twenty four hours a day! I have gone back to doing things that I loved doing before Candida and mercury toxicity: golfing, yoga, traveling; I even tried ocean kayaking at La Jolla two weeks ago. That would be unimaginable early this year since I felt so weak then.

Furthermore, I have gained some weight back, my face is clearing up, my tongue thrush is gone, and I have gained my focus. Of course, it has not been so simple. Based on Dr Schelesinger’s suggestion, I have taken cilantro in the form of pesto and tea to chelate. Other methods to chelate that I have tried : dry saunas to sweat off the mercury, wheatgrass and juices to help detox, digestive enzymes and probiotics to heal the gut, and Mercury Detox capsules from Dr Schlesinger’s website.

I know it is still early in my recovery, but this is to say that for the last three weeks, I have not felt so healthy in a long time; and feel so blessed to be alive. As most of you Candida sufferers can attest, I used to feel like life was a daily struggle. Anyway, this is to provide hope to those suffering from Candida; I felt very comforted when speaking with Dr Schlesinger over the phone as I got the feeling I was listening to an expert on my Candida condition.

Many thanks to Dr Schlesinger and blessings to all,
-Hector (San Francisco, CA)

Hi Dr. Dave-

I am writing this in the hopes of helping others feel more hopeful about their conditions. About 5yrs ago I was diagnosed with MS and in lieu of accepting that diagnosis and a conventional treatment program, I set about finding my own treatment and cure as I believe that there are no “incurable” illnesses. I believed and still do that illness needs the proper terrain to thrive and my job was to figure out why my terrain was conducive to MS and how to go about changing it. I tried many, many alternative approaches over the years with little or no result. The only thing that I feel was critical, although I saw no immediate improvement from, was having 13 fillings removed from my mouth. When looking at my body I came to the conclusion that it was not one thing but a combination of things that had allowed my body to start malfunctioning.

The symptoms that I presented were muscle weakness, muscle twitching, fatigue, dizziness, intolerance to cold, allergies, digestive problems, itchiness, depression, brain fog…..to name a few of the most troublesome and prominent. My history was one of many antibiotics, steroids, birth control pills, sugar, and high carbs. This combined with a mouth full of metal, I believe, set me up for the diagnosis that I finally got.

A few months ago, my symptoms had worsened and were not remitting as they had in the past, so I got busy researching again. I came across information about candida and was elated. I fit the description of someone with systemic candida perfectly. Once I decided that this was indeed my problem, I did much further research on finding a program that would rigorously address this problem. Your program seemed to be one of the most complete that I found. So, I decided to give it a go, but first I radically changed my diet to one of fresh organic meats and vegetables only and did a 3 week parasite cleanse to get the ball rolling.

I have been on your candida rotation protocol for 45 days now and have noticed some amazing changes that had been elusive for 5yrs. The first 3 weeks were miserable. Many symptoms got worse and some new ones appeared. But, after those 3 weeks, the muscle twitching and weakness all but disappeared. And, slowly but surely everything else has started to resolve as well. This is quite miraculous to me as I had been struggling with all of it for so long. I had almost lost all hope of ever being well again.

I am thrilled to report all of this and hope that someone who feels as hopeless and debilitated as I was will read this and know that if candida is a part of your problem there is a way out, no matter how long you have been ill. It takes some serious and permanent life changes on the physical level and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention, much reflection and improving on mental, emotional and spiritual levels too. But, it is worth every minute. I am a better, healthier and more whole person as a result of all of this and can finally see it for the blessing that it has been. Thank you so much Dr. Dave for the part that you have played in my physical healing. Your program has been and is as integral a part in my healing as any of the other work that I have done. Your work is much appreciated!

Please feel free to include my email address for anyone who wants to correspond or ask questions lallen1@midsouth.rr.com

Sincerely, Lisa Allen

Dr. Dave,

I truly appreciated the opportunity to speak with you this morning. Thank you for spending more time with me; I wish we could’ve talked longer!

Your extensive experience and knowledge was very impressive and comforting. I can tell you really love what you do and I certainly enjoyed learning more about the body’s ability to heal itself from a wise teacher such as yourself. I think it’s very admirable that you are seeking to hone in on areas that you feel you can be of most help in, i.e. stealth virus, candidiasis, chemical sensitivities, etc.

I will be ordering the 8-week program for my husband and I, and there will likely be other referrals we send your way. When we start to improve, there will be more inquisitions by those around us and hopefully will result in healing for others. The question really isn’t, Do I have candidiasis?, but rather, Who doesn’t? It certainly seems that way in our “modern” society.

Thanks again! I really do appreciate it. My conversation with you made me feel very comfortable about your knowledge and it brings comfort to our lives to have learned about your treatments that seem to be of the highest quality.

Sincerely,

Hi David,

Just wanted to thank you so much for talking to me this morning. I am quite amazed to see that you give free consultation. How rare it is in this world to find something like this. You are a rare man to find. Thanks again for taking the time to impart your years of wisdom in helping me with my problem.

Hope all is well with you.
Thanks again.

Dr. Dave,

Thank you for talking with me this morning. I am starting to feel some good results from your program and my enthusiasm is building with each passing day for dark, leafy vegetables.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will try them and if I have any problems, will schedule a phone consultation. I cannot begin to tell you how much the services and products you provide mean to me. Not only have you given me some real solutions, but emotionally it is great to know there is someone who is not going to tell me there is nothing wrong with me and that is it all in my head. The improvement I have experienced over the past six months, although gradual, has been very dramatic. Thank God I have have the patience to not expect a overnight cure. After all I am 54 years old and these problems have been going on since I was 2 or 3 when I was given massive doses of penicillin and tetracycline for tonsilitis. This produced permanent teeth with soft spots that were filled at an early age with amalgum filling. The combination has given me endometriosis (infertility), chronic vaginal yeast infections, sinusitis, intestinal problems, skin rashes in my hair, ears and eyebrows, fatigue, etc, etc. I realize that it will take awhile for my poor body to reverse the effects of nearly 50 years of such abuse. It is only recently that I have realized that I truly have an enormously strong constitution to have weathered all of the above and still have lead a relatively normal life. As I plan to live to 100, with your help, the second half of my life will be heathier than the first.

Again, thank you,
Joyce Renfrow

It was great getting to speak with the Doctor yesterday, although we are countries apart, I feel more supported with your program than with any of the other methods I’ve tried – local Naturopath, Chinese Herbalist, GP etc. It also gave me the willpower to keep going to beat this thing.

Thanks again for your responsiveness and support.

Words alone could never express my true gratitude to you. I will always be indebted to you for accomplishing with your rotation protocol a feeling of well being that I have not had in 56 years. I have been through so much pain and suffering with this insideous disease called candida. I have been down so many roads searching for someone who knew enough just to control the symptoms of this nightmare disease. I have been to all kinds of heathcare professionals who profess knowledge of candida, only again and again to come to another dead end. Most health professionals have some of the pieces to the puzzle, but none of them have all the pieces like you. You are truly one of a kind and I can never thank you enough for helping me. I am still working on my health with some of your wonderful products. I remain very truly yours always.

Hello, Dr. Dave!

I want to tell you again how much I appreciated your consultation last week, especially your thoroughness and clear directions.

Dear Sherry,

Wow, what service!! Fills me with glee that this kind of customer service exists!!!!!!! Restores my faith. Congratulations.

I look forward to receiving the parcel – if it makes me feel half as good as your quick and friendly response – I will be a changed woman.

Thank you so much Dr. Dave! I appreciate all the information you sent and all that you told me on the phone.

You were so helpful today. Now I have more questions. I feel hungry to know as much as I can about my own body as possible. For years I’ve depended on a “doctor” in one form or another and over the past several months I’ve realized that I need to be my own doctor, in terms of being able to make intelligent decisions about my own care.

Is it okay to call again during the Tuesday/Thursday candida call-in time? Or is it just for one time only? I am planning to get the 12-week rotation package, which I understand includes a consultation, also.

Thanks again for sharing your compassion and expertise with all of us “out here” who are struggling. Just being able to connect with someone who truly and obviously cares, feels incredibly healing itself.

Blessings to you and Sherry….

Dr Schlesinger’s candida protocol has made me feel fabulously myself again. I am a walking testimonial, and everyone who knows me has noticed!!!
It’s so GOOD to be healthy !!!

Hi Dr. Dave !!

When I have finished the protocol and cleansing I will write more detailed as I believe a lot of people could be helped from your products. I woke up this morning and to my surprise I felt great even though I had that little almond adventure. That protocol, Perm A Vite, Iso Cort and Panthethine have worked wonders. I believe that I will be able to eat normally some day in the future something I haven’t dared to hope for before. If I had just known about you and your protocol 15 years ago. But then better late than never.

Kind regards

Hi, Dr. Dave,

I want to let you know that I am feeling much better since I started using all the supplements you recommended. I have more energy, and have been able to control my body’s reactions to “allergens” and chemical irritants so that I don’t get sick when exposed. In fact, during the month of May, my husband and I had to do quite a bit of interior house painting, and I was able (for the first time in 20 years) to actually paint with latex paint and not “catch a cold” or get a scratchy throat. My next step is to begin having my amalgam fillings removed. We plan to move to New Jersey this summer, so I must wait until we are relocated for the “teeth-out” to start.
Have a great day!

Thank you!
Sincerely,

Carol Harwell

Dear Dr. Dave,

I am on my 22nd day of the candida rotation protocol, and I am thrilled at how well it is working. I have tried so many different programs in the last twelve years but nothing has come close to yours in theory and in results. I am following carefully, eating strictly. The program is very powerful. I am seeing twelve years of symptoms disappear -I could list many symptoms that are gone or almost gone.It is amazing. And I feel so well and energetic that I can hardly believe it.
In the past many years I have tried:
nistatin
colonics
accupuncture
Chinese Herbs
enzymes
intestinal cleansing programs (several)
vitamin therapy
macrobiotics
candidiasis herbal treatment program (CWC)
high protein/no carb candida diet
alphawave therapy
Some of the programs I tried for many years. Nothing worked to the degree that this has already worked. I will keep you posted. I pray for you every day. I am so grateful. I’m sure this program will work 100% for me.
All prayers and best wishes,
Diana
ps – you may include this message in the posting of my letter, if you would like to use it or any part of it.

Thank you so much for your good wishes. Your research and dedication to solving the very difficult problems of candida are paying off for me in a very big way – giving me a new life, really. I was really suffering so much from the condition. The yeast were winning!
Bless you,

Hi Dr. Dave,
I hope all is well with you! I’m happy to report all is well with me! I finished the candida and parasite clearance protocol a little over a month ago. I wanted to wait a little while to give you my testimonial to make sure that I really could see an improvement in my health once I started eating more normally. I’ve been somewhat cautious about my eating habits since I’ve finished the program, but I do have alot more freedom to eat things I enjoy (fruit, carbohydrates, cheese), and I’m tolerating these foods very well! The program really worked!
I appreciated all of the suggestions that you gave me when I had my telephone consultation with you. The written instructions that came with the supplements were very easy to understand and the supplements were very high quality. I also feel that the cost of the program is very fair. Completing this program taught me alot about myself, I am able to have very good self-control! I didn’t cheat once! A few of my friends also have trouble with candida, and I have highly recommended your program to them. I would tell anyone who is battling with candida that I feel that your program is very effective if it is followed strictly. One of my favorite sayings is, “Anything worthwhile doing, is worthwhile doing well” and I think that really applies in regards to following the program closely and watching what you eat! I can’t thank you enough for all of your help, I’m really enjoying my health!
Take care,

Dear Dave,
After experiencing some undeniable symptoms I visited a diabetes counselor at a local hospital and was advised to drop some weight to allow the insulin my body manufactured to circulate more effectively. With the help of CitriMax and a fairly strict low carbohydrate diet I managed to loose forty pounds within sixteen weeks and stabilize my blood sugar levels to where I consistently test in the normal range. I found the CitriMax that I purchased from you to be of great benefit in curbing my appetite with no unpleasant side effects.
Thanks!

Dear Dr. Dave,
I really want to thank you for the consultation! I hung up and cried. For the first time I feel like there is a light at the end of my tunnel. Such a huge weight has been lifted because I know what to do. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me but I feel positive about it. Thank you. I look forward to moving on to the next step once I am on the road to recovery. Thank you again,

Dear Dr. Dave:

I am going into my last month on the protocol and I’ve just ordered the remaining supply of products. Sofar, I really like the protocol. I am feeling much better and have to say that the diet has been the most challanging thing. I’m impressed with the work you do. Indeed you’ve been a godsend to me with regard to these health problems!

Dear Dr. Dave,
We are thrilled to report that Kaarina is doing VERY well. It is the best she has done on any therapy, two weeks of the Candida Protocol completed. We are also supplementing with acupuncture and colonics. I have been researching natural healing products for 20 years and am very aware of the quality of products you recommend. They are of the highest, most professional quality, which I know makes a big difference in the healing process. Using inferior products is like trying to quench a house fire with a teaspoon of water. God bless you for your wonderful ministry to the sick among us,
Judy Hilman

Hi Folks-

I had a phone consultation with Dr Dave from www.modernherbalist.com (SF-722) recently and I can’t say enough about the help Dr Dave gave me. I only wish I had done this 6 months ago. Dr Dave is an expert on Candidiasis, alternative medicine, and nutrition. He is literally saving me hundreds on my monthly supplement costs. In addition he gave me personalized instruction on my diet which was really enlightening. I have read alot of books on this subject and have seen many Drs personally, but I have never learned as much or received as much practical information than was given me by Dr Dave.
I can’t recommend a phone consultation with Dr Dave highly enough.

Best Regards,
Lisa J.

Dear Dr. Dave:
Thank you for the helpful session today and sincere thanks for taking more time with me. I can tell that you are a caring and compassionate person and I truly appreciate that you are probably a busy person so your time is even more valuable.

I am greatly encouraged by the advice and instruction you gave to me today and eager to begin. I felt a strong, supportive and positive energy from you and I think this has strengthened my resolve to work hard to achieve health. I’ve never felt this from any practitioner before and I’ve seen and talked to many so I feel like this is a good sign.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with so many and making yourself available to the masses via the net. I realize I’ve only just begun but I am confident and I will definitely keep in touch with you either way. God bless you,
Susan M.

Just a note to say thank you! I’ve been battling candida and adrenal problems for years, and have tried all the other yeast programs. Your protocol worked so quickly, and it’s convenient. I’ve taken many adrenal supplements and Iso-Cort is the first one that I could actually feel working. I had an incredible boost in energy after taking it only a couple of days. I haven’t felt this healthy in 15 years! What a pleasure life is when you feel good. Thanks again.

Hi there, Someone referred me to your Candida remedy page.
I want you to know that I took that stuff for 40 days and got rid of a TEN-YEAR battle with candida. It’s amazing stuff.
In fact, you may be interested to know that I create a website devoted entirely to my recovery from candida, and I am swamped with messages every day from people looking for the name of the candida busters I took. Right now I’m sending them to the doctor who helped me, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He’s now sending bottles of the Candida Caps all over the world!!!

“This gentleman goes the extra mile and then some for his clients and I already feel he cares. If nothing else, go to his site and have a look for future reference, but if you are in need of assistance, take it from me, Dr. Schlesinger is there for you”.

It is a pleasure to help you spread the word about your site and services. Thanks again,
Christopher Freeman

Dear David,
I will take head to your recommendations, and make my adjustments to my diet and supplement program. I am extremely grateful for your time and advice and will absolutely recommend your site to others!
Thank you very much!

you will be glad to note that it seems that though she has been on this supplement program for a little over 3 weeks now, most of her symptoms of the yeast infection have dissapated or are gone completely..however, i have convinced her to take the Candida capsules for a full two months instead of just the 6 weeks and to continue the panthetine for the complete 4 months as it states in your info. literature.
my god, if this stuff works….we’re going to tell everyone about it…she still has some flatulence though which we hope will subside in a few weeks but most of the rest—being very tired, constipation, mood swings, depression, bloating, etc…are at the minimum now.
she is also following a “yeast” diet too…no sugar, no alcohol, no yeast products, etc. and that seems to be helping her as to cramping after meals or feeling very tired about 30 minutes later….
thank you thank you thank you……

I have to share this with you. I ordered Candida Capsules from www.modernherbalist.com and you won’t believe what happened. First of all I had a wonderful conversation with a woman there named Sherry. I had decided to call instead of ordering on-line. Not only did she share helpful information with me, she ministered to my spirit and encouraged me with such kindness and warmth that I was very lifted up by this dear woman. I had been very down and she really really met me at my need.
Anyway, if that wasn’t enough, her partner Dr. Dave phoned her from France and I guess she shared my story with him. (He does phone consultations too which I would like to do one day.) Dr. Dave had her e-mail me back and tell me not to keep the candida formula because it was not necessary while I am on perscription antfungals. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?? They actually turned down a repeat sale in order to not watse my money!! Needless to say, I am touched by their concern for me and their honesty. They recommend after my AF’s are done to begin my Candida Capsule treatment which I will gladly do.
I had to share that beautiful story with you all and say that it is a great comfort to me to know I have people I can depend on through this sometimes confusing ordeal. Have a happy day everyone!
Hugs,
Lisa J.

Hi folks,
I wrote to you once before, probably telling you how wonderful your product was (Candida Capsules) in my recovery from candida. www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4966 I am bombarded with questions about where to obtain the product, and naturally I refer people to my doctor (Dr. Kenneth Piller, in Coeur d’Alene). But today I updated my site and list YOURS as a source for the purchase of the Formula….. In return for this, if there is ever opportunity on your site for third party endorsements, feel free to link to me.
K.L.T.

Dear David,
What I like about the products you carry is the higher quality of ingredients as compared to those purchased at a health food store. Also, I like the fact that these products are used in the alternative medical/health community. These are the types of products I prefer to buy. I am not looking for a particular product, yet am always interested in a good companies product line. I have a hard time taking lower quality supplements without adverse reactions.
I heard of your web site through a forum on the internet for Candida. Someone posted info on a product called “Candida Capsules” and listed your web site as the place to purchase it. So if your wondering why a sudden increase in orders for this product, it could possible be the result from the posted information.
I am part of two other mail list and would be more than happy to post your web site. You sound like the type of practitioner who cares about their patients and wants to provide the best supplements rather than putting your financial interest first.
Take care,
Stacy Freed

Hey, thanks for everything.
Your heart is bigger than your reputation (saying a lot). I’ll let you know what comes of it. Are you interested for research at all or just curiosity? (I’ll write regularly if it’s all in a day’s work…)
Caryne

Hello,
I have been led to your site on the Internet from a USA friend who used your products with great success and am preparing to place an order with you but would appreciate some guidance please.

Your Pantethine helped control my Candida immediately and dramatically. I know it is good support for the adrenal gland, which all 3 of us need support with right now.
Thanks for the thorough response. It’s just what I needed to know.

Wow! Such a quick reply! Wish my doctors were so on-the-ball!
Thanks for the advice.
