I just got my blood work results back from having a re-check on my Cholesterol. I am so pleased with the results and wanted to let you know. My LDL went from 177 to 125; HDL went from 91 to 81; Triglycerides went from 82 to 72; and the best news is the Total Cholesterol dropped from 285 to 221!!! My doctor's letter stated, "Improved, continue meds and recheck in 6 months." Of course, he thinks I'm taking the Simvastatin - HA! I'm telling everyone how awesome you are!! (Charlotte, NC )
PMS and Irregular Cycles
I am so excited to tell you that I started my second cycle on the supplements you recommended, and for the first time EVER I did not have to take any pain medicine for my cramps. I have had terrible cramps since my first period at age 11. They got so bad in my early 20's that I had to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen twice a day for 2-3 days. I have been guzzling pain meds monthly for 21 years, and you saved me from all that! Thank you so much!!!!! This is a miracle. Thank you for being the best doctor I've ever had! (Edgemoor, SC)
Thyroid Support
I received my second labs back and they are NORMAL! The TSH went from almost 6 to 1.8. The doc was so amazed she asked me to bring in the supplements. :-) (Charlotte, NC)
Homeopathy
Just wanted to update you after taking the homeopathic remedy. It is a night and day difference! I had a very productive weekend - ran errands, caught up on a bunch of housework, and have actually felt happy. I'm enjoying just being with my dog and not worrying quite so much over every little thing. I leave for my trip this weekend and am looking forward to it. It's been a really good couple of days. Thank you!!!! (Huntersville, NC)
Breast Cancer Support
Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a lumpectomy followed by 34 radiation treatments. It was also recommended that I take Tamoxifen for five years. I pondered over the side effects of the Tamoxifen and decided not to take it. Someone told me about Dr. Minette, who specialized in naturopathic health. I consulted with Dr. Minette and she was very supportive and we developed a plan of natural supplements best suited for me. She did not take away from my diet but added to my diet. The natural supplements replenished my body with the necessary nutrients after my radiation treatments and I feel great! I get excellent reports from my mammograms and oncology visits! Currently I still take my natural supplements and have not had any problems. Dr. Minette is very compassionate and concerned with my health and overall wellbeing. She is always available whenever I need to consult with her. I highly recommend her services; she is the absolute best! (Columbia, SC)
Ear Infection
Thank you so much for seeing us today! My daughter has been doing a million times better. She finally had a nap this afternoon, and woke up in a good mood. She has been nursing normally and ate some dinner, too. She had a little trouble falling asleep tonight, but there has been no screaming! I got all of the supplements in her, and ear drops twice. She responds so well to the remedies and gentle herbs. It makes me really happy to treat her so effectively without drugs. Thanks again. (Charlotte, NC)
Hot Flashes
After having a blood test and receiving confirmation from my medical doctor that I was post-menopausal, I couldn’t have been happier. I had experienced very few of the symptoms that friends had described with menopause. Needless to say, my elation was short-lived, when within a year; I began having hot flashes on a regular basis. When the hot flashes persisted, rather than go the route my physician suggested with mainstream medications, I turned to Dr. Minette. After completing an assessment, Dr. Minette suggested supplements that I began taking immediately. Within three months my hot flashes disappeared completely! It has now been a year later and I am currently not taking the supplements and all I can say is, life is good! There is the occasional hot flash, but if I refer to the list of things Dr. Minette suggested as helpful tips for keeping hot flashes at a minimum, I realize I have so much control over my own body. Thanks Dr. Minette for offering a safer, healthier choice for women!! (Charlotte, NC )
Migraines and Joint Pain
I went to see Dr. Minette because I was having body and joint pain, as well as migraines. I was feeling irritable and just not myself. After an almost 2 hour visit, she recommended several things for me. ALL of which worked and were "spot on!" She is an incredible diagnostician and is so dedicated to her patients. I ended up bringing other members of my family to her, because she is that good. Homeopathy has changed my life in such a short period of time. Situations that normally would throw me over the edge aren't any longer, and now I am still me just acting differently due to homeopathy. (Charlotte, NC )
Weight Loss
YOU are AMAZING and I will be forever grateful for your Naturopathic Expertise! I turned some kind of huge corner with tons of energy and you should see my workouts....skating board, jumping over obstacles, multiple muscle group training, longer cardio. My trainer can't believe it! She keeps saying, "I don't know what's going on but it's great!” I actually get up energetic and have trained or worked out for the last 7 days straight. Then we finally figured it out.....I am following YOUR protocol....of course things would be getting better! That only makes sense! My trainer said "oh yeahhhhhh...forgot about that." It works! Thank you doesn't begin to cover it. (Huntersville, NC )
Acid Reflux
I have been seeing Dr. Cherie Minette for over 4 years now, and I am very happy that I am her patient. Everything she has prescribed for me has helped my heartburn and digestive issues so much. I can call her on the phone and she asks many questions to be sure she understands exactly what is going on with me. She is a doctor that really listens and truly cares about how I feel. She isn't a pill pusher, she tries to get to the root of the problem and heal you naturally. I love how kind and honest she is. I recommend her to all of my friends and family. (Taylors, SC)
ADHD and Anxiety
After struggling through high school and my twenties with ADHD and anxiety, I went to see Dr. Minette and she was so helpful. She started me off with some supplements that controlled my anxiety and kept me focused. She truly cared if I was getting better. When I met her for my consultation she asked me questions I would’ve never thought pertained to my condition, but in the end it all came together. She is very thorough. Dr. Minette has great “bedside manner” and is very personable. (Charlotte, NC)
Allergies and Menopause
For over 25 years I have suffered each summer in August with allergies due to the high ragweed count. In the beginning I treated myself with over the counter drugs, but I could not tolerate the side effects of drowsiness, dry mouth, and increased heart beats. Also as I grew older I had additional health concerns like menopause and poor leg circulation, and my allergies worsened. I made an appointment with Dr. Minette and I am truly amazed at how well I feel. The supplement she gave me for allergies does the trick and continues to work each time I am bothered. I could not believe it when within an hour of taking the supplement she recommended, my allergy symptoms lessened and within 24 hours I was totally allergy free. I do not have to take the dangerous hormones prescribed by my doctor because the natural supplements prescribed by Dr. Minette treat my menopause symptoms. I feel so well I do not mind driving from Greenville to Charlotte to be treated by Dr. Minette. (Greenville, SC)
Overall Well-Being
I wanted to say thank you. I cannot begin to express my surprise and gratitude for you. I have never had a physician so dedicated and caring and committed to my well being. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for giving me what I never thought I could have in a physician. You have made a lasting impact on me. I will say that I am surprising myself at how well I have adopted all of the changes you suggested. (Huntersville, NC)
Kid's Health and Acne
Dr. Minette has been so helpful to me and my family. I have two children, and I worry about them getting the nutrients they need to be strong healthy kids. Dr. Minette recommended a multi-vitamin and fish oil that not only taste good to my children, but also contain the right balance of nutrients appropriate for their age. In addition, she cleared up my daughter's acne with one supplement! My daughter, a blossoming pre-teen, is of course thrilled! (Greenville, SC)
Depression
I have struggled with depression on and off much of my life. When my father died, I recognized the symptoms beginning again – very low moods, lack of motivation, overwhelming sadness, and self loathing. I began seeing Dr. Minette regarding my state of mental health, and she recommended a homeopathic remedy to help me through my grieving period. It really helped. Since then, Dr. Minette has guided me to a long term remedy which is enabling me to achieve my goals and improve the quality of my life. I feel like I am becoming a better me! (Greer, SC)
Hair Loss
Before seeing Dr. Minette, I had very dry, damaged hair to the point of falling out. She worked with me to find the perfect, natural supplement for my hair type. My hair is now healthy and shiny. Dr. Minette genuinely cares about her patients and their well-being, tailoring her treatments to each individual. (Macon , GA)
Allergies
After suffering for twenty-five years with allergies, which caused constantly running sinuses and post-nasal drip, my sinuses were so swollen and plugged that I could only breathe through my mouth. My medical doctor had prescribed decongestants, which caused me to have choking spells and nearly blinded me. Dr. Minette suggested an herbal remedy and an antioxidant. After only three weeks, there was significant improvement. Now, after six weeks, my sinuses are mostly clear, and I can breathe through my nostrils again. My treatment is not finished yet, but I believe I am well on the way to finding the cure for the allergies which have plagued me for so long. (Inman, SC)
General Health
Dr Minette is the best doctor I've ever been to. Whenever I go to see her, I feel as if I'm not just talking to my doctor but to a person who genuinely cares about my well being. She really listens. I appreciate the treatment plan that is drawn up recognizes that I'm a human being and not a machine. I'm not pushed out the office like I'm on an assembly line, and Dr. Minette is available to answer any questions I might have. Dr. Minette is a talented professional that I would recommend to anyone. (Huntersville, NC)
Yeast Infections
I cannot thank Dr. Minette enough! I have struggled with chronic, recurring yeast/bacterial infections since I was in my early teens. Twenty-plus years later I have finally been released from the constant discomfort and aggravation of dealing day-in and day-out with this condition. Four years ago I tried my first Naturopathic Physician, followed by another one two years later. While these Doctors certainly gave me wonderful information, I found their approach to be too aggressive to continue on a daily basis – I had to modify my life so much that I fell off the wagon and I just gave up. Then I met Dr. Minette! She really wanted to understand who I was on the inside and out so that she could treat my condition according to who I was as an individual. Then she crafted a wellness plan for me that was paced at my own level – not a routine prescription of following a certain regime regardless of the other day-to-day activities in my life. And amazingly – I HAVE BEEN YEAST-FREE FOR OVER 3 ½ MONTHS!!! I can't tell you what a relief it is to not be bothered by such a stubborn infection. I had truly came to the conclusion that yeast was something that I was destined to live with for the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. Minette for all of your knowledge, patience and positive guidance towards treating my body so that for the first time in years I can truly live well! I have spent thousands of dollars on doctors at every level and you cleared my problem in one visit! I will continue to tell as many people as I can about your services and how you have affected my life in more ways than you will ever know! (Charlotte, NC)
