Environmental & food sensitivities

It seems that over the years, as I approached my 40′s, my body was starting to react negatively to many things in the environment and to certain foods.

For example, I had difficulty breathing when the vog came in, I developed severe seasickness (even when boogie boarding and snorkeling), I woke up every day with postnasal drip and sinus stuffiness, and I got diarrhea and welts eating shellfish or raw egg yolks.
I was somewhat skeptical about this type of treatment because I am a registered nurse and have been seeing an allergist regularly for 20 years. What prompted me to seek immediate treatment with Dr. Karen Tan was an upcoming five day Alaskan fishing trip that I had planned for my family. (Had I lost my mind? How was I going to survive on the boat all day?) Well, after ONE treatment, my seasickness was GONE! I had the best family vacation ever, catching salmon, halibut and black cod (deep sea fishes). My husband was dumbfounded yet quite impressed with the outcome.
I no longer have problems with vog, eggs, shellfish, acid reflux, and postnasal drip. I continue the treatments on a regular basis in order to be in optimum health. My son is also in treatment for his symptoms. It’s amazing and well worth the time and cost to be healthy.

Vog & environmental allergies

Dr. Tan has worked wonders with my vog allergy symptoms.

I’ve always had sensitivity to the vog and had to move from the Big Island to Moloka’i because of it. Whenever the vog acted up, my nose would run like a river and I’d have to literally carry around a box of tissues, or stick one up my nostril to keep it at bay. I’d also become very tired and become physically sick and would be bed-ridden till the vog lightened up. Over time, my reactions increased so much that if my sinuses became clogged up, I would lose my hearing and it would take almost a month for them to re-open with antibiotics. Ever since I went to Dr. Tan, my reactions to the vog have disappeared. My sinuses and eyes no longer are affected by the vog conditions. During my first appointment with Dr. Tan she also checked me for any other airborne or food items that I could also have reaction to. I discovered that I reacted to milk/dairy products, cats, fungus/molds, grasses/weeds, sugar mix, wheat, dust, sinus fungus, and a couple others. So far, she has treated the majority of them and I’ve noticed the astounding outcomes! Dr. Tan even cured my sensitivity to my favorite food, potatoes which would have been tortuous for me to give up! In addition to this, I have had a wicked time with motion sickness throughout my short life. Whenever I go on a ferryboat or make a car trip with windy roads, I’ll either throw up or have horrible stomach issues. Dr. Tan has just recently treated me for this condition as well and now I can’t wait to do both to test the results! Dr. Tan has helped me enjoy my life so much more rather than having to check the environment constantly for vog or numerous amounts of dust, or having to avoid dairy products and my favorite comfort food, potatoes, and has opened a new door to living and breathing a whole new life. Thank you Dr. Tan for everything. A contented and happy faced 16 year old.
