Chronic sinus infections
Elizabeth, 9, Fairfield

1. Elizabeth suffered from chronic sinus infections which necessitated antibiotic treatments eight or more times per year. We knew that she needed an alternative course of treatment, as the antibiotics were not working.

2. Over the past five months, Elizabeth has not needed antibiotics to combat upper respiratory problems. She has been using a combination of naturopathic remedies which have been successful in clearing up the condition. We have been very pleased with her progress. Her episodes of all kinds of infection have also lessened.

3. Dr. Heller has been very patient with Elizabeth, explaining what he was going to do, prior to the exam and/or treatment. He is open and honest about naturopathic medicine.

Chronic sinus infection
Mickey, 8, Trumbull

1. For my eight year old son, who developed a chronic sinus condition during the summer and other treatments did not work. He had much difficulty breathing through his nose, especially at night.

2. Very good. My son's sinus condition cleared up very quickly and my son has been in good health ever since the treatment. He caught one cold this past winter but it cleared up very quickly.

Behavioral and mood problems
Arianna, 2, Santa Cruz, California

1. Arianna had behavioral problems - destructive, violent, unhappy, temperamental. Way, way more than just the average two year old.

2. Very positive and powerful results from homeopathic remedies. Arianna's disposition improved very noticeably and her temperament became much more balanced. The changes are still continuing six months later from the initial treatment.

3. He was thorough and asked lots of questions and and took time to "tune into" Arianna and a get a feeling for what was happening with her on many levels. Arianna felt safe with Dr. Heller and knew he really cared. The remedies he prescribed helped a lot!

Repeated ear infections
Breanne (2), Vinny (5), & Jimmy (7), Fairfield

Our pediatrician strongly recommended that we put tubes in our daughter's ears. She was having repeated ear infections. At the time she was two years old.

My wife suggested we take her to a naturopathic physician before making our decision. As a result of diet and nutrients, our daughter did not have to get tubes. She has not had an ear infection since. Since then, Dr. Heller has treated my other two children, my wife, and myself. Each one of us has benefited from the recommended treatment.

Eczema, fevers
Ian, Greenwich

I brought my three year old son to see Dr. Heller for a few reasons. One was eczema on his face, arms, and legs that would come and go. The other was that when he got sick it seemed to last longer than the rest of my children's and would lose weight and then it would take months to get the weight back, only to get sick again. I felt his eczema was related to his diet. He drooled excessively for a three year old and it smelled - his clothes too. His bowel movements were irregular and extremely smelly. I felt his system was off and he needed help. His immune system seemed stressed in comparison to the rest of my children.

Dr. Heller took the time to really listen to everything I had to say about my son's symptoms. He was interested also in any personality characteristics or habits he may have. He wanted to hear all the details that would help him in giving I. the correct naturopathic treatment. Dr. Heller gave me great advice on nutrition which I use with all my children. I also received great advice for when my son is sick and how to help him get better by letting his own body's defenses work instead of giving him the conventional medicines. Dr. heller gave him a remedy two times around one month apart. He also gave specific supplements to help his digestive system and his immune system.

Foot Pain, Ingrown Toenails, Infection
Clara, 17, Santa Cruz, California

2. The infections cleared up and she gained the tools necessary to take care of it on her own.

3. He is kind, caring, and non-intrusive

Allergy, asthma
Samantha, 8, Stamford

1. Samantha has been an "allergy kid" all her life. She was diagnosed with asthma at three and a half years old. I was instructed to put her on an inhaled steroid on a daily basis. That's when I decided to bring her to see Dr. Heller

2. She made it through outdoor and indoor soccer without needing her inhaler. Now she only has asthma when she's got a cold, not because she's running outside or because the weather's changed.

3. Samantha is quite comfortable with Dr. Heller. He has a very good rapport with her.

Allergies, candida, restless sleep, gassiness, digestive problems, irritable behavior, strep throat
Matty, 2, Stratford

1. To treat symptoms from allergies and candida. Matty's symptoms were restless sleep, gassiness, digestive problems (frequent loose stools), irritable behavior, and a tendency for his ears to fill with fluid.

2. Matty responded wonderfully to the treatment Dr. Heller gave, homeopathy and treatment for Matty's digestive tract. As a result, Matty is much more comfortable and happy, his sleep is improved, he's less gassy, and the fluid in the ears is better.

3. During each visit and phone consultation, Dr. Heller really listens. He takes the time and has the patience to listen to every detail. I believe it's this attention that allowed him to find the correct homeopathic remedy for Matty - the kind of remedy that treats the whole child. It was important for Dr. Heller to understand Matty's whole character.

Congestion in chest, bad cough
Kaila, 6, Milford

1. Congestion in chest, bad cough.

2. Dr. Heller gave me vitamins and told my mom how to put warm and cold cloths on my chest for a hydrotherapy treatment. I had to take some herbs. I was better in two days and I didn't need antibiotics. That was four months ago, and I haven't been sick all winter since, even though everyone around me at school has had the flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia. I haven't missed a day of school all year.

3. Yes, I like him. I'm not afraid to go see him.

Dear Dr. Heller,
We received your packet for our Adam today. Within an hour of administering it, I saw him become more energetic and he appeared happier. Thank you for caring about our family.
