My father is 86 years old and he was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure in April 2019 when I took him to the hospital Emergency Room due to a major swelling edema from his waist down and he also had fluids in his lungs. The Cardiologist discharged him and prescribed him diuretics and heart blood pressure medicine to help him with the symptoms that his heart condition carries and advised to look for a Cardiovascular doctor to monitor his heart condition going forward. Ever since then, my father has been seeing the Cardiovascular doctor but unfortunately he started increasing the medicine to reduce the Congestive Heart Failure symptoms and my father started passing out and the shortness of breath didn’t go away. Due to my father’s age, we started looking for Alternative Medicine options and found Doctor Ivo who gave him Chinese herbal medicine and it has helped tremendously to reduce and eliminate my dad’s CHF symptoms: shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, swelling edema on the legs and feet, periodically rapid heartbeat and some cough. The shortness of breath went away and my dad can lay down now in bed, he has more energy, gained his appetite and the best part is he doesn’t have to deal with the side effects of the medicine the Cardiovascular prescribed him. My family and I are very thankful with Doctor Ivo because he’s a very knowledgeable and compassionate; and he has been taken care of my father’s health like no other doctor. Thank you very much Doctor Ivo!

I have been going through a stressful period for past two years, and for me this period was extremely painful. I haven't had a good night's sleep in months plus being fatigue was heavy for me. I should note that I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and amenorrhea through my medical doctors. At the same time I also experienced weight loss. I also had my testosterone and prolactin hormones elevated. My endocrinologist put me on L.thyroxine 75mg for the past two years. With only three acupuncture treatments, he brought me back into sweet dreams. Also, I now manage to maintain my composure in situations where I was nervous before. Dr. Ivo's acupuncture brings me energy, balance cheerfulness and positive mood! So I got rid of any negativity that had arised from various traumas caused by relationships with friends and families. As a result, I can now make accurate decisions and demonstrate happy behavior in different circumstances. His therapy had a positive impact on my emotions without a doubt. The most amazing thing was the incredibly fast effect! After his prescribed treatments for a week, my body became active and my menstrual cycle appeared! I feel new now... After few more of acupuncture treatments, I had checked my prolactin and testosterone and TSH and all with normal levels. I am no longer on any L. thyroxine and feel great. After two months I rechecked all my hormones and again all within normal levels. Undoubtedly, Dr. Ivo applies his irreplaceable knowledge and experience in the best way. He works very carefully and devotedly. He thoroughly examines the patient's problem and does not only take into account the disease in question, but can also discover links between individual problems, suggesting the best treatment alternatives. My heartfelt thanks to this wonderful man and sensitive doctor Dr. Ivo!
