Clinical Successes
Allergies
"About one year ago I started going to the Natural Health Center for allergies to some foods such as chocolate. I had lived for years with depression, low energy, and muscle aches. I had a bad experience with another acupuncturist and was nervous to try it again, but my results at this clinic were great! I feel so good - I honestly never knew I could feel this well! I have no more depression and now I have a general sense of well-being. I feel more calm and MUCH better than I ever have! That speaks volume since I'm turning 58 next week!"

"I've had severe allergies since I was young, but they seemed to have gotten progressively worse. They were mostly seasonal but some cleaning products would also aggravate them, as well as some dish soaps. They had gotten to the point where I was waking up congested several times a night. I'd only been to an acupuncturist once when living in San Antonio. The (other acupuncturist's) treatment didn't seem to help much. Now I have restful sleep and can usually fend off most allergens."

"My son and I had allergies from both food and environmental. We tried over the counter allergy medications and different natural allergy supplements in the past 2 years or so. We were both suffering with skin rashes, runny noses and itchy eyes. We started coming to the Natural Health Center of Austin for treatment after a recommendation from someone. My son and I saw a big improvement of our symptoms."

Hormone Balance
"I started going to the Natural Health Center a few months ago for severe lower back pain; I was also overweight; had infertility, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance; anxiety and hypothyroid! Most of these conditions began 1 year ago after the birth of my son. The condition was interfering with my daily activities. I've had good results. The headaches are gone and the back pain has been a thing of the past. I'm able to relax more now and not be controlled by anxiety and stress."

Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I was unable to sleep and, I had sciatic leg pain due to an accident. I was unable to stand for long periods of time or unable to walk for more than 20 minutes without pain. I started using acupuncture, chiropractic and fitness and the combination of all 3 relieved my pain but the acupuncture gave me the most benefit."
~ Bridget B.
Heart Disease
"I started getting acupuncture with Nicole in September of 2000. Then, my general health wasn't very good. I almost died, actually. My main issue was ARVD. Traditional medicine wanted to give me a pace-maker and amniodrone medication. In combination with other alternative treatments, the acupuncture enabled me to completely turn my condition around and has allowed for me to pursue endeavors as a professional athlete."

Fibromyalgia
"A few months ago at my wit's end with extreme pain (9 on a scale of 10). I attended a Fibromyalgia support meeting conducted by Nicole Lentfer. From that night on, I am a different person. Like many others before me I tried all the conventional "western medicines" with no relief. After having a "mini-trial" NRCT (Neurological Relief Centers Technique) treatment that night, I put 100% trust in the staff at the Natural Health Center (whom I refer to as "my kids"). After undergoing daily NRCT, acupuncture, and NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) treatments, I would say I am very much calmer, relaxed - with less pain and have more energy. Although I am not (yet) pain-free, I can say it has reduced that daily pain level from 8 - 9 (out of ten) to 3 - 5. I find myself now living through times of stress without it exacerbating my pain or energy. The stress just comes in and floats away - it's truly amazing!! And I am not stopping there - I am continuing treatments. I look forward to playing with my grandkids pain-free one day and look back on this experience as a special part of my life. Thanks to Nicole, Sarah, Melissa, and Kim - "my kids"!

"I came in due to pain from fibromyalgia. Constant pain from neck down to my toes and could never sleep more than a couple of hours at a time. I tried antidepressants, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills and several types of pain pills. Nothing would work. Used to sit, sleep and eat in a recliner. After coming here (Natural Health Center), my quality of life is so much better. I can actually plan outings and enjoy myself. I don't have as much pain. I can actually sleep for 4 - 5 hours at night in my bed! Everyone here is very nice and helpful with all my questions."
- Mary
"I have fibromyalgia and have had severe body pain for the past 5 years. Everyday, hands were numb, feet were numb, feet throbbed, sternum hurt, shoulders and hips were sore, calves and thighs hurt, arms were heavy. Doctors really don't know what to do for me since I didn't want pharmaceuticals. I can't believe acupressure (Neurological Relief Centers Technique) has helped me so much. I noticed it right away. Things aren't perfect everyday, but they are great some days and not so great on others. But the not so great days aren't as bad as they used to be. I am so thankful."
- "Happy Patient"
"I found the Natural Health Center of Austin after ten years of pain and discomfort. I was a mixed martial artist, high school football player, and infantryman in the Marine Corps. I had put my body through entirely too much torture, and I was suffering for it. When I left the Marines in 2009, I had ankle, knee, hip, back, shoulder, and neck pain. I suffered with insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I would take close to 20 painkillers a day, and I was still in pain. I was hurting, and I was far from happy. Kim introduced me to Nicole for a stress test. After that, I came into their office for a NRCT (Neurological Relief Centers Technique) test. I felt instant improvement, and I've been coming to their office ever since. I now do NRCT, NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique), and acupuncture treatments, and I have never felt better in my life. I'm able to live again. Thank you."

"I started treatment last year and at the time was having severe pain in both feet. I had trouble walking, was always limping. My pain originally began in 1997. I had tried one FDA-approved drug after another and was getting worse with all of the side-effects. I stopped going to doctors about 5 years ago. I went to a meeting that Dr. Lentfer held at her clinic I liked what she said and have been improving every day. I have improved at least 60%. The NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) treatments have greatly improved my health as well. Dr. Lentfer and the rest of the acupuncturists at the Natural Health Center have greatly improved my health and reduced my body pain. Thank you."

"When I first came to this office I had hypo-thyroid and anemia. I believe I had fibromyalgia also but we never knew about it until Nicole told me and she was right. My condition got a lot worse and I started missing a lot of school because I was always in pain and had no energy at all. I had seen my pediatrician, endocrinologist, neurologist, counselor, and chiropractor. Nicole was the only one who fixed me the best. Without her I would be taking tons and tons more medicine - just covering up the symptoms and not the root cause. My results are unbelievable. I am not back in school making good grades and living my life. My pain has improved so much as well. I used to be at a 8 - 9 (out of 10 on the pain scale) and now I'm more at a 1 - 4 depending on my amount of activity. I am much more able to concentrate and have a better memory. Thank you Nicole and Melissa!"

Hepatitis
"I have had Hepatitis C for about 30 years but I'm not exactly sure. I came into this clinic after medical treatment failed. In Nicole's words I was a mess. I came to Nicole because the MDs said there was nothing more they could do for me. I feel much better. I don't know if the virus is any better according to the blood work but I feel MUCH better. Nicole also accepted my insurance. I feel stronger and healthier. I've experienced relief of pain and help with sleep too."

Digestive Problems
"I've been going to the Natural Health Center (NHC) since late December (2009) and have been receiving acupuncture and NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) treatments for my Chron's Disease. To say that the treatments I have received from them helped me would be an understatement. I have been hospitalized multiple times for my condition and was in constant, severe pain before I decided to go the the NHC for treatment. Now the pain is less intense and very infrequent if not rare. I can't even remember the last time I have felt this good. I've had a wonderful experience with the treatments and also the people who work there. Nicole, Melissa, Kim and Sarah are all friendly, care for their patients and they are truly there to make you better. I can't say enough great things about these ladies. No matter how severe or minor you believe your symptoms or pains may be, I highly suggest the NHC."

Pain
"I suffered from severe back, neck, and knee stiffness and pain brought on by competitive martial arts, football, and lots of time in the Marine Corps Infantry. I guess the pain started about 12 years ago but it really got bad about 8 years ago. I tried Chiropractic, and the results were drastic but not lasting. After a few weeks of care at the Natural Health Center, I went from cringing at the thought of getting out of bed to wanting to get back into an active lifestyle. The other day, for the first time in 10 years, I woke up completely pain free!"
~ Miles N.
"When I came to the (Natural Health Center) I had a leg pain that didn't let me walk or do normal things anymore. I also had back pains that did the same, that had started years back. I was treated by several doctors and therapists but was only given exercises and pain pills so the pain got worse, with no positive results. My wife dragged me over to meet Nicole and Melissa. Since then, the results of the treatment have been a blessing. My pain is almost gone; I have started doing things that I love again without pain or with little pain and without fear. Thank you, Melissa, Nicole, Kim, Sarah!!"
