This is a collection of
testimonials and case histories from my medical practice.
Names have been altered or initials have been used to
preserve confidentiality. I am grateful to those who have
offered their testimonials to support those who are
searching for answers. For those who have been too shy or
too busy to write their personal testimonials, I have
summarized several case histories, which help to enlighten
people about my practice. I also plan to add audio
testimonials for those who prefer sharing their experiences
in this manner.
September 4, 2008 Hi Dr. Bloem, My girlfriend, [xxx], will be calling you for an appointment within the next week or two. She is super busy and tired of having the symptoms I was experiencing before you put me on the Wiley Protocol. I just finished my first cycle, am on the second day of my period. I have great energy, focus, sleeping better (some days all night, some I only get up once.) Donna Donna is a 54 year old woman who came to my office on July 22, 2008, with a chief complaint of serious sleep disturbances, hot flashes, and fatigue. Additionally, she had trouble focusing, mental fog, and memory problems. She was able to fall asleep fairly well but would consistently wake up after 3-4 hours. Sometimes she was able to fall back asleep, but often she was unable to do so. Sometimes she would wake up as many as 5 times each night. She had been having insomnia since her periods stopped in August 2007. Until she started the Wiley Protocol estradiol and progesterone she had been using Ambien CR and Tylenol PM. She did not like taking these medications because she recognized that she was only treating symptoms and not addressing the underlying problem. I have many patients who had similar dramatic responses to the Wiley Protocol estradiol and progesterone hormones with many noticing improvements in their symptoms within weeks of starting treatment.
August 2008: Barbara is a 49 year old woman with a life long history of obesity. She also has a history of diabetes, insulin resistance, and hypothyroidism. Following are excerpts from an e-mail communication. I am doing well...Aug, 17 and 18 "loaded" and began VLCD/Injections Aug. 19th (I remember that I weighed myself the same day I saw you so I am going by that beginning weight of 269 lbs ...instead of your 272 lbs) I currently weigh 255lbs....and am finding this rather easy to follow providing I have planned ahead for the meals. Also, at my gyn appt. today my blood pressure was recorded at 106/74 BP...woohoooo!!!! (blood pressure in the office was 124/80 less than two weeks earlier) Another thing is that my "huge" arms are shrinking!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the fat cure for me...hands down and I am putting the effort into it so that I will be at my perfect weight and body hopefully in about 2.5 yrs.....(due to the P3 time in between P2).... May the universe bless You!!! Barbara
Dr. Bloem, I just wanted to fill you in on how the Hcg diet went for me. As I had said before the hunger appeasing character of Hcg didn’t appear until day 10, and not long after that I started using the oral dosage. The oral dose worked better than the injections in that I could take it at night when I was getting hungry to kill the hunger somewhat. It was easy to hold in my mouth, and the water dilution worked just fine. I liked it much better than the injections. The original solution you made for me, which I left in my car for a couple of hours in the heat, worked just as well as the new solution. I lost 10 pounds and was on the diet for 27 days, the last two days without Hcg. I was very pleased with the results. So far I haven’t gone back to my old gluttony patterns. I was afraid I would because I was pretty hungry on the diet, but I guess I don’t have much desire to change my diet eating patterns. Thank you very much for all your help and for always being available. Susan Susan is a 61 year old patient who came to my office for weight reduction treatment using the Dr. Simeons HCG Protocol. She had feelings of hunger for the first nine days when she injected herself with HCG. Possible reasons of feelings of hunger include inadequate HCG dosing and non-compliance with the dietary protocol. However, here is an example of a patient who did better with oral protocol than with the intramuscular protocol and lost 10 lbs. when she switched. I believe that for some reason the HCG that was injected intramuscularly was not as bioavailable as the orally administered HCG.
"I AM SOOOOO HAPPY, AND HAVE DONE SOOOOO WELL ON THE HCG---Started with you at 172lbs.----I'm down to 139.0 lbs. now, and I've lost 5.5" on my waist...!!!!" This is what one of my 60-year-old patients wrote to me this week. She first came to my office in April 2008 and first started on the Wiley Protocol for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Within months she also started on the Dr. Simeons HCG Protocol. This has been a life changing experience for her. As of July 2008 she is in Phase 3 of the HCG Protocol and still losing. This has given her her life back. She feels inspired to start a new life at 60. In her own words: "I'm just singing and dancing with life at 60, and I'm looking forward to AT LEAST another 40, happy and healthy....!!!"
D.H. is a 53-year-old woman who presented with a chief complaint of chronic sinus congestion and nasal allergies. She was allergic to mold, grasses, pollen, feathers, cats, dogs, and horses. Prior to seeing me she had received allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) and she had been prescribed Zyrtec (cetirizine, an antihistamine) and Nasacort AQ (a steroid nasal spray). She also rinsed her sinuses daily with salt water. She had surgery for maxillary sinuses in 1998. Acupuncture treatment helped a little, but the relief did not last. I treated the patient’s allergies and chronic sinus infection with NeuroModulation Technique. After only one treatment session the patient’s symptoms improved significantly and she was able to stop the Zyrtec. After the second treatment session the patient was able to stop the Nasacort too. Her nose was just mildly congested. Being an accomplished singer, she also noticed that her vocal cords were recovering and that she was getting her voice back. During the next few treatment sessions the patient’s symptoms continued to improve and, while singing, she was able to reach the higher notes again. The patient discontinued treatment after a total of four treatment sessions and remained symptom free without any prescription medications or nonprescription remedies.
B.M. is a 54-year-old disabled nurse who was referred to me for morbid obesity. She was skinny until age 7, when she started to gain weight even though her eating habits did not change. As an adult she continued to gain weight and her weight ranged from 350 to 400 lbs. In 1994 she suffered a knee injury which caused her to be disabled. It was then that her weight continued to increase until it reached 762 lbs in 2002. She had tried numerous diets but never was able to lose weight permanently. When I first saw the patient, she weighed 687 lbs. She spends most of her time in a bariatric bed with a built-in scale. Her abdomen has become so pendulous that she cannot stand up straight any longer. As her weight increased, she developed many of the health concerns that may afflict people who are obese: osteoarthritis, peripheral vascular disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, sleep apnea, depression, high blood pressure, and diabetes. During the medical evaluation, it became evident that the cause of her weight gain was an extremely sluggish metabolism. Laboratory evaluation confirmed my clinical impression that her thyroid hormone balance was suboptimal. Treatment with thyroid hormone and continued restriction of carbohydrate consumption have resulted in progressive weight loss and the patient has lost 47 lbs. over a period of about 4 months.
M.T. is a 33-year-old male who presented to me almost two years ago with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. He had been treated by a psychiatrist who prescribed Remeron (mirtazapine, an antidepressant) and Geodon (ziprasidone, a drug used to treat schizophrenia). However, he was just not feeling well, and seriously considered going into day treatment for his mental health problems. The patient’s psychiatrist had even suggested electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a treatment method that is used rarely. Typically it is reserved for severe depression that is resistant to all other treatment methods. In addition to depression, the patient had intrusive thoughts, low energy levels, and a poor appetite. My wife (Dr. Alice W. Lee-Bloem, a holistic child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist) and I started him on a targeted nutritional supplementation program that provided mental support, enabled him to gradually reduce the dosage of the psychiatric drugs, and to eventually stop taking them. The patient has been doing very well on this nutritional supplementation treatment plan. He has also lost weight and his blood pressure has improved. He now has a positive outlook on life and his social life has improved.
L.M. is a 49-year-old woman who presented with a chief complaint of obesity and sciatica. She had tried dietary treatments, appetite suppressants, and regularly exercised, but she never was able to keep the weight off if she was able to lose any at all. When she first came to me she was on an 800 Calories per day diet and she exercised 45 minutes every day. Her initial weight was 195 lbs. After my evaluation I concluded that she had signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. I treated the patient with thyroid hormone and nutritional supplements. After losing about 25 lbs. the patient’s weight loss came to a halt. After I had treated the patient with NeuroModulation Technique to improve the tissue sensitivity to thyroid hormone, her weight loss continued again and she has now lost a total of 30 lbs. In the meantime, the patient’s sciatica and blood pressure have improved as well.
"When I first heard about NMT [Neuromodulation Technique], I was extremely skeptical. I couldn't see how the treatment could work on varied complaints, ranging from asthma to allergies. However, when I stepped outside for five minutes and came back with over nine itching, raised mosquito bites that would normally last a week or more and often scarred, I was desperate enough to try it. After a series of questions to determine treatment, with the use of an ArthoStim instrument, Dr. Bloem said that there would be significant improvement in my mosquito bites in two hours, and that there would be complete resolution in ten hours. On mosquito bites that stayed for weeks! Yeah right. I needed plenty of anti-itch cream, that was what! However, a little over three hours later, I noticed that the bites on the underside of my knees and legs weren't itching. I looked to see if they had indeed receded, but was amazed to find they were completely gone! No itching, no scabs, no scars at all. I thought it was too good to be true, but NMT made it possible!"

D.B. is a 53-year-old woman who presented with a chief complaint of fibromyalgia, depression, obesity, diabetes, and chronic insomnia. She was on multiple medications, including Neurontin, Ultram, Effexor, insulin, Trazodone, and Klonopin. She was unable to work because of these health complaints, and although the medications helped some, she was just not feeling well. I diagnosed multiple hormone deficiencies and disorders, including those affecting thyroid hormone, DHEA, growth hormone, pregnenolone, and testosterone balance. A treatment regimen, including supplemental hormones, nutritional supplements, and NeuroModulation Technique quickly improved many of the patient’s symptoms. Not only did she feel better, she was also able to stop some of the prescription medications, and reduce the dosage of some of the others. She is losing weight and has more energy. Her mood is better and her pain is much less. As a result she is now living a much more productive life.
C.F. is a 4-year-old boy who presented with a diagnosis of autism. He was normal at birth and continued to develop normally until he received childhood immunizations just before his second birthday. That is when the patient’s verbal skills regressed dramatically and his behavior became increasingly hyperactive and socially unacceptable. Prior to coming to see my wife (Dr. Alice W. Lee-Bloem, a holistic child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist) and I, the patient had seen many other healthcare professionals, including a speech pathologist, a childhood development specialist, a child psychiatrist, a child psychologist, and an alternative medicine specialist. We treated the patient with a combination of nutritional supplements and energy medicine, including NeuroModulation Technique and Emotional Freedom Technique. Initially, the little boy did not understand when people spoke to him. He would simply echo and repeat words that other people used. He would exhibit socially unacceptable behavior (e.g., sticking his fingers in his nose and randomly poking his mother in the eye). Over the course of just one year, the patient’s verbal skills gradually improved. Both his abilities to understand and to express himself improved. His reading skills are now two years above grade level and his math skills are one year above grade level. Another concern was that this boy was unable to control his bladder and bowels. This problem also responded well to energetic medicine treatment and he is now fully toilet trained.
