Patient Testimonials Patients' names are abbreviated to protect individual privacy. ● "Our dear Dr. Elizabeth, It was such a privilege to meet you this morning and to be allowed to see the uplifting surroundings in which you meet your patients. I appreciate the spirit of generosity with which you gave me two copies each of Soul Mind Body Medicine and Living Divine Relationships - one set for myself and the other for my friend. She was very grateful for the books you gave her and which I delivered this morning after I saw you. I also told her about your playing the harp, the new EE System (Energy Enhancement System) you are expecting and the lovely ambience. She told me about your website, so she is aware of your achievements and contributions. I am also glad to hear that you are interested in meeting my spiritual leader who contributed two chapters in Learning in the Light. Because of Divine Mother I became interested in research in spirituality and wellness. I think that Hawaii, the UH Medical School, and the international community are so fortunate to have you. I am filled with joy! - With warm aloha, Liz K." ● "Dr. Christensen, Much Mahalo for a wondrous day of learning and sharing it was yesterday... your stories and knowledge are endless. You really inspire me to be a better healer. - Appreciatively, Tracey" ● "Dr. Christenson gave me 5 times holistic evaluation and acupuncture treatments before I had a partial thyroidectomy (removed left lobe thyroid). When I returned to my surgeon for one week post op check up, he was astonished by my speedy recovery with healthy appearance and high energy. I credited this positive effect from Dr. Christenson's holistic approach and skillful acupuncture technique that have boosted my energy and stamina which made recovery much faster. I know acupuncture had increased my energy because I could feel my energy became weaker if I missed treatment. Thank you Dr. Christenson for your excellent care of me. - R. R." ● "Dear Dr. Christenson, You have a very good, clean heart, with no ulterior motive or agenda, and you do and practice what is ethical, honorable, and virtuous. I really appreciate these noble qualities in you. There aren't too many people like you around. And, when we find these treasures in our life, it is a blessing. Thank you. - Love you, Ruth" ● "Our Dearest Healer Dr. Christenson, Thank you so much for all you have done for my 12 year old son, myself and our family. When my son described his life to you about how it was like to be allergic to food, he said: ”It was like living in a cage.” “You could only have what people brought you.” Because of your treatment (NAET) he is free to go explore, eat, live and breathe like everyone else. You have unlocked the cage that was holding our son captive all his life. You have taught us how to live better, healthier lives. Educating us on energy, ours and all that is around us and how it affects us. We have only known you for such a short time and it saddens us deeply that you are leaving Ohio (moving to Hawaii). It comforts us to know that this is not good-bye but talk to you later. The fact that you are taking us with you in your man made box of energy, your computer, helps us not feel so all alone. You will still be there to help us on our journey to better health. That we can call on you for help and guidance or an occasional ZAP (of Healing Energy). God’s blessings to you and Ed as you live in paradise. May your life be as wonderful as you have made others. - Love, N. & A. G & Family, and especially our son G." ● "Dearest Dr. Christenson: Thank you so much for the emergency ZAP! (Energy transmission) It really worked. I felt so very much better the very next day and every day since I am stronger and healthier. You are truly one of the Lord’s Gifted, Blessed Healers. Best wishes in all you do! We will talk again soon. - Love, Annie G." ● "My experience with Dr. Elizabeth Christenson and CHI Medical Center has been very interesting, to say the least. I began treatment with Dr. Christenson in May of 2001. I had been to various doctors complaining of extreme fatigue, migraines, depression, MS-like symptoms (tremors, dizziness, muscle weakness), nausea, weight gain, low thyroid, insomnia, and high blood pressure. I had been put on a variety of drug therapies, but found most of these caused more problems than they helped. My brother-in-law told me about NAET - his experience with a practitioner in Knoxville, Tennessee had been nothing short of miraculous! When I began treatment with Dr. Christenson, I was so weak and discouraged, that I almost cancelled my initial appointment. I must admit to being very cynical about this type of medicine. I found out immediately that I was severely allergic to the chemical hormones I was taking following my hysterectomy-after starting natural hormones, I still tested allergic, but Dr. Christenson was able to alleviate my allergy to them. I then went through various allergy testing-thyroid, organ, gland, RNA, DNA, and amino acids. After clearing these, we moved on to calcium and dairy products, vitamin C, vitamin B, sugar, iron, minerals, iodine, lead, corn, salt, and complex sugars. I tested allergic to almost everything! I had a big problem with sugar, and when this was cleared, noticed a big difference in energy, cravings, and depression. I was also treated for sinus headaches; I would tend to get these during high humidity and an air pressure change. To date, I have lost 45 pounds, get up every morning at 5:00 a.m. to run or workout, have no symptoms of poor health, and feel like I'm in the best shape of my life! I am so thankful to have found Dr. Christenson and CHI Medical Center. Currently, my parents are now her patients, along with many of my friends and acquaintances to whom I have recommended her. Thank you Dr. Christenson for giving me my life back. - Blessings, Patricia H." ● "To Whom It May Concern: For three years I underwent medical acupressure and acupuncture treatments with Elizabeth Chen Christenson MD for my allergies and associated symptoms including asthma, migraines, sinusitis, joint pain, hives, chronic fatigue and depression.. Prior to the treatments I had progressively worsening severe environmental and chemical allergies which grew to include food allergies. Three months before the treatments I was down to only about eight foods I could safely eat. For six days before I first came to her office I had eaten only small amounts of white rice and bottled water because anything else made my throat start swelling shut. I was 5'6" and weighed only eighty-six pounds. Attempts with Western medicine to control my problems had only worsened my condition as I would have allergic reactions to the medications. When I first read the pamphlet in Dr. Christenson's office about eliminating allergies I did not believe it could be possible. This is what I had always been told. Viewing the NAET treatments as a last resort, I decided to try them. I thought they might at least lessen my symptoms. Despite my doubt, they worked better than I ever could have imagined. It has now been three and a half years since I had an NAET treatment with Dr. Christenson and I am still completely free of allergies and my associated symptoms. The treatments healed me physically as well as offering me emotional release from depression. I can eat anything I want to without risk of a life-threatening reaction, including things I have no desire to eat. I do not have to avoid public places because of the possibility of smelling perfume or cigarette smoke on someone's clothing. My life has returned to normal (if there is such a thing). In addition, my asthma has nearly vanished. I participate in highly aerobic dancing and only need my inhaler occasionally. I have gained thirty-five pounds and no longer look anorexic. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Dr. Christenson when I did because I am not sure how much longer I would have lasted without these treatments. I could easily go on for hours about how healthy I feel now. - Amy U." ● "Dear Dr. Christenson: I write to express not only my heartfelt thanks, but also a testimonial to the course of treatment provided by Chi Medical Center. Before coming to your service, the trigeminal neuropathy from which I suffer was completely out of control, the medicine that had worked for several years was ineffective, and I was scheduled for brain surgery. Following your course of treatment, I've been able to cut back on the amount of medicine and have canceled the surgery. Your course of management has allowed me to function at both home and at work. In all honesty, I sought your services as a last resort. In retrospect, you should have been my first course of management. All who know me are amazed at the extent of my recovery. I have made a point of explaining, in detail, how your care and treatment have helped abate a condition for which traditional medicine dictated brain surgery. Perhaps you'll see some of my friends and family, but if not, all having newfound respect for your course management. Should anyone doubt your abilities, simply send them to me. I'd be happy to speak with anyone who may doubt the abilities of the Chi Medical Center. - Respectfully, Robert B." ● "Since I have started being treated by Dr. Christenson, I am now able to work more than a couple of hours a week, I can open jars without help and I have been able to do more with my children. Before I started to see her, I was treated by an Arthritis specialist for my Psoriatic arthritis, he had me on several different pills. After five months of being on the medicine I started to have chest pains, I was told by the Arthritis specialist that it was being caused by the medicine eating a whole in my stomach, he did not change the medicine he had me on just prescribed yet another pill to help my stomach. The pills only helped little with the pain and swelling in my joints, and the side effects were horrible, I was dizzy and sick most of the time I could hardly work more than a couple of hours a week. I am a waitress and have to spend all day on my feet. Since I have been seeing Dr. Christenson I am no longer taking any medicine, I am able to work more. She has helped me in other areas of my health as well...I spent a lot of time researching Dr. Christenson before I started to see her. The alternative to her treatments will be going back to the Arthritis specialist, which means more pills, more blood work every three months, more x-rays every three months. I would never have gone this long if Dr. Christenson's treatments did not work. - Thank you, Deborah T." ● "I would like to express how lucky we are to have been blessed with your presence you've brought us hope for our future with your approach to medicine. My mother is a prime example of your excellence. - - (She) was given a death sentence by her doctors - -. Since she has begun her treatments she has never felt better and the cancer I believe is history. You have also helped my husband Jeffery quit smoking when all the other treatments have failed. - - - We all have so much to learn from you. I would also like to thank you for every thing you have done for me, and my daughter Alisha, even though she has not seen you as a patient, the ideas you have given me will surely help to lead her and me to a pathway of better health. Thanks again for helping me to feel 100% better!! We appreciate you for every thing you do. - Thanks again. Deb B." ● "I have had neck pain for nearly as long as I can remember. For years I had tried everything known to western medicine- -. After many years of failed treatments, the pain continued to worsen and my neck started to get stiff. It was so intense that I had to turn my whole body to look sideways. - - Dr. Christenson felt confident that she could offer me relief - -. I noticed an improvement in my neck mobility the very first (acupuncture) treatment. After the three or fourth visit the pain was substantially reduced and I had more range of motion than I had for twenty years. - - After three treatments I have been cleared of all fruit and vegetable allergies. My latest treatment include Yellow #5, almonds and chocolate. I just returned from a weeks vacation. While I was gone I ate nearly every food I had avoided for 18 years and did not experience one reaction. This is just so amazing and wonderful!! - Ron R." ● "I at 35 years old, started to experience anxiety attacks, and some depression. I tried acupuncture - skeptical as I was, I figured what do I have to lose, I've tried everything else. - - - After my first treatment I felt as though I was walking on air, so light on my feet, almost as though Dr. Christenson had reached into my body and pulled out my aggression cell and replaced it with a warm, calming sunshine cell. I could handle the problems at my job with ease. Before the acupuncture, when I would have a stressful situation (and with my job there are many), I would become upset, nervous, and very cranky. - - Now I can think clearer, be calmer, and handle the stress of the day, one at a time, instead of feeling overwhelmed. What a wonderful change this has been, not only for me but for my family, friends and co-workers. I had actually forgotten how it felt to feel so calm, and such inner peace. - - Remember that wonderful feeling that you were safe and could close your eyes and relax? THAT'S THE FEELING !!! - Debbie M." ● "Dear Dr. Christenson: A letter just to thank you so much for helping me with many of my most serious problems. My back pain from (I thought) surgery and radiation therapy had been with me for twenty or more years. In fact, pain all over my body, feet, arms, legs, etc. etc. is now gone! The many subtle problems I had lived with - PMS - stomachaches after every meal - depression, all had me on the couch more than enjoying my life. Relieving me of all these problems has made me feel so strong I am able to cook elaborate meals, study natural health care (a long time interest), sing and play my guitar without pain, paint and varnish an entire house and cabinets, take care of my elderly mother, and so much more! - - - I hope all your patients can be patient and trust in the science of acupuncture, and in your skill in detecting the source of illness. - - - I am enjoying so much and have many new ideas and plans, I may start a new career. Dr. Christenson, bless you and your staff! - Love, Mary H." ● "I called Dr. Elizabeth Christenson because I read about her family practice as well as Alternative medicine approach. She changed my diet, included vitamins, minerals, and amino acids as well as tonics from certain teas. Under her advice I started doing yoga and meditation. I had tennis elbow for 2 1/2 months before Dr. Christenson started acupuncture treatment. I had an osteopath X-ray my arm telling me he could inject it with cortisone to relive the pain, but not accelerate the healing which could be six months or longer. After four sessions of acupuncture treatment my tennis elbow was healed. The acupuncture also strengthened the regimen I was doing for PMS. With natural supplement she prescribed I didn't have the black depressions, lack of energy and mood swings. I used to dread two weeks out of every month, now I have control of my life again. I want to make it clear that I not only benefited from this experience physically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. Isn't that what healing and medicine is really all about? I walked away from Alternative Medicine with a sense of well being and confidence I never enjoyed in my encounters with traditional western medicine. Alternative Medicine will play a major role in our health care system in the very near future. - Sincerely, Tamatha M. H." ● "Under Dr. Christenson's treatment I am confident I am on the right path. She is monitoring the supplements I am taking and treating my whole person not just one symptom or part of me. I am also grateful that I do not need a lot of drugs, many of which my body reacts with an allergic reaction. I feel that my body is re-awakening. I am happy and now need help to make this treatment more available. - Sincerely, Sister Martha C." ● "The results of allergy elimination and energy treatments through acupuncture concepts and technique applied by Dr. Christenson have been a dramatic change. My well-being has improved. I can care for my family smiling and have love to share. The treatment have gotten to the cause of my problems without drugs and side effects. - Pamela J." ● "I am a 73 years old man was diagnosed spinal stenosis by an orthopedic surgeon after numerous tests including X-ray, MRI and EMG. During the last three years I have undergone physical therapy three times to try to alleviate the severe pain in my upper legs and buttocks. I also take pain medication three times a day. The therapy somewhat relieved the constant pain but very little when I stand still or walk. I had three acupuncture treatments by Dr. Christenson (an MD) which have relieved almost all the pain. - Owen F. M." ● "At the age of 58 and a widow, it is my strong believe that the body, given the right direction, can heal itself. Thanks the decision to seek alternative medicine. With the help of Dr. Christenson that decision has given me the support, peace of mind and direction I have needed to go on with my life in a healthy and less worrisome manner. - Paucela S." ● "I was hospitalized for thirty days. - - I had nine physicians who tested me for every reason for my illness. I was sent home with nine prescriptions. The drugs only masked my pain temporarily. I was not able to walk and balance myself since I was out of the hospital. Since I have been seeing Dr. E. Christenson for medical acupuncture treatment I have improved in my walking and balance. I have stopped taking almost all of my medications, which I do not need anymore. I still have a long way to go, but with her help I feel I will recover completely. I am the living proof that it works. - Robert L." ● "When it became clear that treatment for sinusitis and asthma by my regular physician were not providing positive long term results, I began treatment by Dr. Christenson, a certified acupuncturist who was also an MD. The care from this physician was exemplary. The treatments of acupuncture succeeded where regular allopathic medicine had failed. In addition, this doctor's care provided me with information for self care and many preventative measures so that the quality of my health in general is much improved and symptoms of my illness are negligible. - Richard C." ● "Over 20 years ago, I was diagnosed by my family doctor as being hypoglycemic. - - Until I started receiving acupuncture treatments for allergy from Dr. Christenson, I was ill from many allergies that I didn't know I had. I am now - free from them, and I feel like I've been released from prison! I can now enjoy most foods without suffering terrible hot flashes, dizziness, panic attacks, and nausea, so that I was afraid to eat most things. Every treatment I receive from Dr. Christenson is successful, and I thank God I found her! - Jackie B. K." ● "I want to thank you so much for helping us as much as you have. You have given me my life back. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Carol. L." ● "Thank you so much for all you have done for our whole family. Our bodies are smaller and feel better. I have lost 22 lbs and Rod has lost 18. My sleep pattern has improved. Love to a Great Doctor. - Rod & Joan D." |
