I just received my EMF blocking pendant yesterday. Noticed a subtle difference just putting it around my neck. The muscles in my neck relaxed almost immediately!I haven't taken it off, yet, and don't plan to EVER! I slept better last night than I have in years. Feeling better today. Can't wait to see how much better I feel in a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month, etc.,!! Excellent product! Thank you, thank you!!

Get a 60 minute footbath every month, along with the Pain Away and Arnica and I can say that my pain level has reduced by 75%. I really do believe that it is the combination and I can see the swelling go down right after the footbath sessions. My Mom, who is not a patient orders the triple magnesium/triple calcium on her website and it arrives the next day. Helps her sleep and with her constipation. It is convenient because she gets the stuff sent right to her door. www.DoctorValProducts is store. Anyhow, very friendly and knowledgeable staff & its located in a beautiful Victorian House.

My major complaint since my twenties (I am 51) has been headaches, migraines, and joint pain. About five years ago I also developed plantar fasciitis, which requires a lot of stretching, and wearing expensive orthotic inserts. In the last couple of years my joint pain (especially in an elbow, a wrist, shoulders, and ankles) has increased significantly. During my first appointment, Dr. Nelson recommended that I do a series of four footbaths in a month, followed by a maintenance footbath at least once a month. I had never heard of footbath detoxification, but decided it wouldn’t hurt to try it the way she advised. After my second footbath, I felt that my foot pain was much less. By the time I finished my third, I realized that my elbow and wrist were no longer bothering me. I literally had to press on them to feel any tenderness! After the fourth, I realized that it had been a week since I had a headache and no migraines all month! I feel that the footbaths (if I maintain a regular maintenance schedule of at least one every three weeks) have the potential to make a huge difference in my life and overall health.I recently had blood work done, and my doctors were amazed at how my cholesterol numbers improved. The only thing I can attribute this to is doing regular footbaths and taking Dr. Nelson's Supplements! I highly recommend them. Isn’t improving your quality of life worth a try?!

I struggled for years with depression and anxiety. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Nelson for teaching me how to treat this naturally. I was on Effexor for 12 years...one of the hardest anti-depressants to get off of. I was concerned about the long term side effects. Without the support from her and her natural treatments, I would never have made it through. God was surely in the middle of that.

I am a canadian who orders from Dr. Valerie Nelson.

The probiotics of Dr. Nelson have been healing to both my husband and I in our lengthy vicious fight against Lyme and coinfections. It has finally settled our gut health and protected us from the damage of the countless antibiotics we take daily. They have helped me so much in my post endometrisois, post hysterectomy, gastroparesis and chronic pancreatitis existence! After trying so many brands, we were reluctant to consider her brand but we are glad that we did.

The Candida fungus fighters has helped me by fully eliminating vaginal discharge and Candida albicans which I fought for 23 years with no success!!!

I feel that overall the candida fungus fighters and professional probiotics helped greatly improve my late stage endometriosis and damaged sigmoid colon in the course of botched hysterectomy, are much more manageable and functional. Now we are hooked for life:) in a good way!

The footbaths and supplements help me tremendously! The footbaths refresh me and relieve aches in my legs, my back and sinuses. I rarely go to sleep without the Triple Magnesium. I sleep so much better with it. If I ever question how effective my regimen is, I'm reminded when I run out or skip doses. I'm grateful that I met Dr. Valerie and her staff.

Dec 1-14, 2017, I was part of a tour group in Egypt. We visited Temples in Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor. Of the 20 folks on the tour, I was one of 3 folks who did not become ill with severe intestinal and bowel illness. I took my supplements with me, and credit my overall good health thanks to Dr. Nelson's care, in addition to Monthly hot stone massage with Jenna, and Ionic Foot cleanse with Heather.
Additionally, I feel very healthy, and since working with Dr Nelson, I have regular bowel movements for the first time in my life! And, I have lost 13 lbs just through better nutrition!
I feel very grateful for Dr. Nelson, her care, her staff. And my patients who I have referred are also experiencing changes.

In Hawaii, centipedes are common and there bites are very painful. About four weeks before my trip to Pittsburgh, I Was Bitten on my left foot. My foot swelled tremendously, the pain was excruciating, and the foot was bright pink. Even after days of elevation and ice, there still remain swelling, discomfort and a pink discoloration to the foot. After my first foot bath, all swelling, discoloration and tenderness was gone. The left foot love just like my right foot again! Now Abundant Life Wellness is my go-to whenever I'm in Pittsburgh! Thank you, Betsy

I made an appointment at Abundant Life Wellness after experiencing a persistent feeling of malaise. For some time, I simply did not feel “well” and had been struggling with issues related to fatigue, stress, weight, and anxiety (to name a few). My first appointment with Dr. Valerie Nelson was scheduled for 2-1/2 hours! What doctor spends that much time with a patient for an initial evaluation nowadays? Dr. Nelson does! During this “new patient appointment” I answered many questions about my health/history/and paperwork. Dr. Nelson truly listened to what I had to say and asked many questions to be sure that she understood how I was feeling. She then performed a series of tests (muscle testing, food sensitivity testing, biofeedback, etc.) to determine what my body needed to heal/rebalance. This was my first experience with a naturopathic doctor, and it really was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Dr. Nelson educates her patients every step of the way – explaining techniques, describing connections, showing visuals/charts so that you can see what she is seeing. It is very clear that she is intent on fixing the root cause of our body’s ailments, as opposed to simply treating our symptoms.

It has been six weeks since my first appointment and I have consistently and diligently followed the supplement program that Dr. Nelson had formulated for me. During this time, I have noticed the following improvements:

- Weight Loss (six pounds in six weeks);
- More Energy/Less Sluggish;
- Less Bloating;
- No Headaches;
- Less Overwhelmed by Everyday Life.

Overall, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and Dr. Nelson has started me on a path to internal healing. The office staff is knowledgeable and engaging…and I look forward to going back every two weeks for the footbaths. I have had an exceptional experience so for at Abundant Life Wellness, and I am sure that it will continue far into the future!

I have been seen by another naturopath for years and could not quite get better ( although the other doctor did help me with a lot of things). Dr. Nelson explained that she thought that the missing ingredient was my thyroid. She explained how the blood work is not always accurate. I was always suspicious of my thyroid being off and wondered why it never showed up on the blood work. She told me to research about the in accuracy of thyroid blood testing and I can see online that a lot of endocronologists agree (mine never told me that). Dr. Nelson started me on a regimen and I am convinced that this indeed was the issue, that is my thyroid. I never want to go back to the way that I was feeling before ... never ...I have sent sent my friend there because her son was having a lot of issues socially and did not want to go to school. She said that he is so much better now.
