Patient Testimonials
For Dr. Keith Wilkinson
Patient - 17 yo female with Fibromyalgia
My daughter, now 17, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when she was 14. Her
symptoms of severe joint pain and excessive fatigue began in the 6th grade, but
were attributed to growing pains and a low pain threshold. We were referred to
Dr. Wilkinson in November 2007 to explore ways to increase Katherine's energy
level and reduce joint pain without taking Rx drugs. Dr. Wilkinson started her on
a round of IV Meyers cocktail of vitamins and minerals, and by her third infusion
she was noticing an improvement. Daily B12 injections followed, and Katherine
now sleeps a restorative 9-10 hours; previously, she slept 16 hours feeling as
though she hadn't slept at all.
The dietary changes recommended by Dr. Wilkinson have also proved beneficial
-- for our whole family! Both parents have benefited from weight loss, and
everyone feels more energetic and alert. Katherine's mental clarity is returning as
the fibromyalgia brain fog diminishes, and she feels the combination of IV
infusions, B12 injections, and diet change have all significantly contributed to the
reduction of her fibromyalgia symptoms. The joint pain is gone. Fatigue is
minimal -- naps are no longer a necessity. She can now do school work in the
morning, instead of only in late afternoon when the brain fog used to lift slightly.
The brain fog had become so debilitating that Katherine qualified for homebound
tutoring provided by our school district. She now looks forward to starting her
senior year back at school participating fully in student activities. We greatly
appreciate all Dr. Wilkinson has done to help Katherine's return to health!

Patient - 7 yo female with Juvenile Rheumatoid/Idiopathic Arthritis
My daughter Lauren was diagnosed at age 5 with Juvenile Rheumatiod Arthritis.
Over time, her condition slowly started showing signs of possible joint damage.
At that point, we were faced with a decision to start her on a new injectable
medicine [Enbrel] to combat the damage or stay on the same meds we were
using for a limited amount of time and consult with Dr. Wilkinson for
naturopathic treatment. We choose more time and Naturopathic medicine. Since
her start with Dr. Wilkinson - Lauren has received significant results. Our
decision to try to rebuild her immune system in attempt to combat the use of
antibiotics, a new diet approach and the progression to certain supplements,
including fish oil, have produced far better results than we ever could have
imagined. Lauren is healthier and stronger than she has ever been and we have
the Arthritis Health family to thank for that.

Patient - 84 yo female with recurrent respiratory infections
I began working with Dr. Wilkinson several years ago for respiratory infections. It
seemed like every 6 weeks I would get a cold that would go into my lungs and
was often serious enough to put me in the hospital. I was put on rounds of
antibiotics which seemed to help, but a month or two later I would get another
cold and then a repeat infection. This went on for over a year and I never
seemed to get truly well. When I went to see Dr. Wilkinson he talked about my
body's low immune function from chronic antibiotic use and the need to build up
my immune system. He started me on a couple of supplements and talked about
diet changes. I am happy to report I followed his instructions and have been free
from infections and trips to the hospital for the last 2 years. It is hard to imagine
something so simple can make such a difference, but it has and I have Dr.
Wilkinson to thank for it.

Patient - 72 yo female with knee instability treated with Prolotherapy
About 25 years ago I injured my knee while skiing. Ever since then my knee has
not felt right. As I grew older my knee became unstable and felt like it waffled if I
stepped on it wrong. I increasingly felt like I would fall if I wasn't careful how I
moved my knee. I went in to see Dr. Wilkinson and he told me he thought
prolotherapy would help. I had 3 treatments over about 2 months and nearly all
the weakness and instability of my knee is gone. I have gone in for an additional
treatment about every 6 months and my knee continues to feel good. Thanks to
Dr. Wilkinson I am moving with ease.
Thank You Dr. Wilkinson!!!

Patient - 46 yo female with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Dr. Wilkinson, in conjunction with Dr. Howard, has worked with me to evaluate
my health plan. Dr. W. listened to my concerns and problems with arthritis. His
knowledge of the body and how food works is amazing. He made suggestions to
change my diet to improve my health. He recommended dietary changes along
with specific recommendations to remove dairy and tomatoes, and my
inflammation and sluggishness disappeared in only a couple weeks. He also put
me on vitamins and minerals.
I have the upmost respect and admiration for Dr. Wilkinson. I took his advice
and followed his instructions. I took control of my health with his assistance.
It is great having a doctor who really cares and is concerned about my health.
Sincerely,
Krista H.
