When I first met Dr. Peter, my husband and I were nearly at the end of our rope. I was suffering up for five non-epileptic seizures a day, chronic fatigue, an infection that would not leave, and entire body pain that rival the migraines. Some days I would wake up and be unable to walk properly or hold a cup. We'd already done the rounds of western medicine doctors. We were being told it was in my head or that nothing could be done. Medication had made things worse. Nothing showed up on their tests. Walking into her office for the first time was a breath of fresh air. She was thorough, more thorough than any other doctor I've ever seen. She ordered massive quantities of blood work and worked her way through my medical history, all of it that I could bring, which was over ten years. Then she muscle tested me and talked to me, or actually, listened, then talked. I could have cried. Someone was taking their time, and not dismissing me as crazy. And her blood tests, much more detailed, turned up in black and white answers to some of my problems. And above all, she was compassionate and caring. I've been with Dr Peters for eight months now. It's going to be a long journey. I didn't get sick quickly and I won't heal quickly. However, I'm down to only a handful of seizures per month. I can get through a day without napping and I've been able to start being physical and exercising again, and even getting back to work. The infection is healing. Progress has been steady. I swallow a massive number of supplements three times a day but unlike medications before, they don't make me sick, they support my body healing itself. Its worth it to be able to get up and live. And someday, I will be healthy enough to not need them all.

Dr. Peters is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met. I needed guidance for iodine therapy, and she is the only iodine-literate doctor in Illinois. I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Peters because she is extremely caring, thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. After our first appointment, she sent a letter that showed me how much she cares about her patients’ well-being. She always allowed plenty of time to speak to me about the problems I faced. On my second visit, Dr. Peters had a plan of action for me to follow that allowed me to to have a protocol to follow and a goal to reach. Dr. Peters not only uses extensive knowledge but also her skill in muscle testing to find prescribe natural supplements that help her patients. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Peters! I highly recommend her!

Where to start? I owe so much to Dr.Peter. I honestly don't know where I would be without her and I wish I could share her with the whole world. The quality of my health and life have improved so much with her help. Before I found Dr.Peter, I had pretty much given up hope. I was experiencing chronic fatigue (I slept for 3 days straight once) my hair was falling out. Once a year I would end up in the ER with mysterious chronic non-stop all over pain that would last for 24hrs. I didn't have health insurance but I was so desperate for answers I spent my own $ on boutique doctors (one a top endo in Chicago) looking for answers. I was hypothyroid but my thyroid tests always look fine to them. I would tell the doctor "If everything looks fine, why is it I can't keep my head up and I end up in the ER once a year with mysterious pain" They couldn't give me an answer. I had completely given up on doctors at that point. "No more" I said. I remember the last time I suffered a mysterious 24hr pain attack, I didn't even go to the ER. What was the point? They could never do anything for the pain and never knew what it was. Then one day a friend recommend I see a holistic doctor that does kinesiology (muscle testing) I didn't know what that was but after my friend explained it (google if you don't know) I was sold. So I searched the web for kinesiologists in Chicago and found Dr.Peter. In my FIRST appointment with her she was able to explain everything that was going on with me. I was FLOORED. I was ANGRY! How come all these Western Med doctors don't know this stuff???? I put my faith in her....and my life, omg, I feel she saved it. She would prescribe me specific supplements to help rebuild my thyroid and adrenal function, addressed various digestive issues. After 3 weeks on her protocol I was able to get through the day without a nap where before I was napping maybe 5x a day. Crazy. Took about a year to get my thyroid in check and then it would be would be 2yrs before I'd see my grown back, but it did grow back! I have been seeing Dr.Peter for about 6yrs now. It is an investment in your health. Vitamins can add up but they are the best, they do work and I certainly rather be taking supplements then prescription drugs! When it comes to your health, I figure you pay now or pay later. And I rather pay NOW and have a better quality of life then go on feeling not optimal and wait till I get something serious like cancer. I see her about 1x every 1-2 months. The first year, omg, soooo many vitamins to take! But again, they worked and over time as my body healed, I don't need near as many. I have learned so much about myself and health on this journey but one of the best things that resulted in working with Dr.Peter, is I learned to start listening to what my body is telling me again. Other doctors I worked with, I would tell them how I feel but they would always look at a test result over what I felt. And over time, this trains you to stop paying attention to your body and how you feel, cause if a test says we are fine, its in our heads, right? WRONG. Dr.Peter uses the best of East and West medicine and will always listen to what you and your body is saying. I am still healing things, still finding balance. But Dr.Peter, she is great. SO knowledgable, incredibly smart, friend, always there to listen. But I think the best thing about her is....she absolutely KNOWS she can help you heal in a way that makes you believe it. And that's half the healing right there. If you are suffering from health issues or even just looking to improve the quality of your health, see Dr. Peter. You will not regret it.
