“Oh The Places You’ll Go”....
We asked parents and other patients to give us feedback about what they have observed in their children and in their own health since coming. We appreciate their willingness to speak openly and honestly, and we value their confidence in us as we care for their children.

“I didn’t know where else to turn. Abigail was completely out of control and also could not communicate. Her chronic ear infections the first year of life left her with an unbelievable speech delay. That left us dealing with a child I could not communicate with or understand. We were also dealing with a child I could not take anywhere because I knew what the results would be—both of us in tears. Abigail had no attention span, could not focus on any activity, and absolutely would not ride in a stroller or a cart. I could not change our “schedule” because Abigail would lose any control she did have.
I was tryied everything. My last hope was OsteoMed II. After our second session everyone we knew commented on Abigail’s increased vocabulary and communication. Abigail sat for the first time in her short life for a whole meal! We were reading stories again because she could sit for more than 30 seconds! We now sing the whole alphabet and count to 100 together. I can take my little girl to the park and she won’t hit me and scratch me when we are ready to leave. I can go shopping and recently, we went on an enjoyable vacation, 13 hours by car!
Instead of crying every night because I don’t know what’s wrong with my little girl, I cry at night of happiness because I can talk to and play with my “pookie bear.” I dream of the day I might be able to call her “normal.” We continue to see Dr. Cheryl for our regular "check ups" and get additional treatments when needed. The improvements keep coming and our lives have vastly improved. I never thought we would be able to remove the "labels." Thank you Dr. Cheryl, DeeDee and everyone else at OsteoMed II. I can dream again of the places Abigail will go someday.” Kathy S. Parma Hts., Ohio

“The treatments my son received at OsteoMed II have been the most important intervention I have done for him. He can now eat and drink foods again that were “off limits.” His behavior and attention span is much better, and his overall well-being has improved. I only wish I knew of these treatments sooner.” Cheri H. Spencer, Ohio

“We've been taking our 9 year old son Kyle to Osteomed II since January 2003. The results that we have seen since his first visit are incredible! He is now calmer, more patient, and more verbal than ever before. His attention span has also increased dramatically.
I can't say enough good things about these treatments. They have done wonders not only for our son, but also for my wife and me because we now have someone who can finally help us help our son. The staff at OsteoMed II is one of the nicest groups of people that we've met, very friendly and courteous, taking the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend OsteoMed II and their autism treatment program to other parents of autistic children. Thank You Very Much For Providing Hope.” Eric and Monica Z. Cleveland, Ohio

“My son Charlie has made many improvements since starting at OsteoMed II. He came with chronic diarrhea that no other doctors could help. He also had multiple allergies. Now he has normal stools, and his allergies seem to have disappeared. His eye contact is normal now. His behavior is much more stable. He is more verbal and aware of what’s going on around him. He is also more social and able to concentrate more in school. We are so pleased with his progress.” Laura K. Lyndhurst, Ohio

“There has been a remarkable change in our child each time he has cleared an allergen. Before we started the OsteoMed II protocol, there was little eye contact. After a few treatments, he almost immediately stared us down. Some parents may object to a stare down match. We are absolutely delighted!” Regina C., Medina, Ohio

“My son Michael was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at 18 months of age. It was determined that his vaccines had caused mercury toxicity. Upon completion of extremely successful chelation therapy and allergy elimination treatments, combined with occupational and speech therapies, my son is no longer considered autistic. He is attending a regular preschool this fall.” Christina H. Elyria, Ohio

When Christian first came to see Dr. Cheryl, he had been diagnosed with PDD-NOS at the age of three. He was a miserable child with severe digestive problems and many food allergies. He has very little meaningful speech and couldn't sit still for more than 30 seconds! Today at age 7, he is a happy, healthy kid in a typical second grade class. He still receives therapy for learning disabilities and speech. the combination of SRT allergy treatments, chelation therapy, and cranial sacral osteopathy truly changed his life. Andrea, Cleveland, Ohio

Greg completed his treatments at OsteoMed II with Dr. Cheryl four years ago. He is now 11 years old and thriving. He is a completely transformed child, from being diagnosed with autism to now being on the honor roll! He has meaningful friendships, self control and and has participated in peer mentoring. He used to have severe sound sensitivity and would run through the house with his ears covered. Every sound, from the vacuum to the law mower, would set him off. This year, he has been riding a motorized go-cart in the yard and loves it! Most people who have known Greg over the years can't believe the difference. I owe a big part of his changes to the OsteoMed team! Cheri H, Medina, Ohio

I was shocked when I learned my mercury fillings, tuna consumption and vaccines received for international research directly contributed to my illness. I know that chelation therapy has saved my life. I feel so much better! I can teach my university classes now without feeling like I need a three hour nap after each one. My family, friends and colleagues often comment on how much energy I have. Thank you for your help! Karen, PhD. Clevenland, Ohio.
