After 4 sinus infections in the last 10 months, taking 4 rounds of antibiotics, with a newly prescribed round of stronger antibiotics and steroids in hand, I came limping into Dr. Ikenze’s office feeling virtually hopeless.  Dr. Ikenze, with her keen ability to determine the correct remedies, has turned my life around.  After only two weeks of taking her remedies (and refraining from taking the antibiotics and steroids) I finally feel like I can go through my day with a sense of joy, gratitude and feeling of wellness.  Words cannot capture how happy I am to know that Dr. Ikenze is there to monitor my health and guide me on my path to remaining strong and resilient. Thank you, Dr. Ikenze, from the bottom of my heart!

After relocating to Marin from the East Bay, our 9 year-old daughter started suffering from some major allergy symptoms. Even before the move, her colds frequently led to bronchitis and a lingering congestion, and she frequently had dark circles under her eyes.  We sought Dr. Ikenze’s help with her frequency of illnesses and also her general health between viruses.  After about 6 months of the remedies that Dr. Ikenze prescribed for our daughter, she is now in much better health.  The dark circles are gone fron under her eyes, and  when she is sick, which is less frequent, the duration is much shorter and I can’t remember the last time she had lingering congestion or a prolonged cough. Dr. Ikenze’s treatment has had a major positive impact on our daughter’s health.

It had been 2 years since the baby was born.  It was a complicated pregnancy and delivery and afterwards I thought the constant fatigue and exhaustion was simply from the stress and trauma and would resolve given time and rest.  But the symptoms became more progressive and my life became one of caring for the bare necessities of my children and then going to sleep.  I frequently suffered from minor infections – recurrent yeast infections, urinary tract infections and colds.  I had progressive numbness which started in my upper arms and then extended down to my hands and ultimately started affecting my legs as well.  But worst of all of the symptoms was the completely overwhelming exhaustion.  My time with my husband disappeared as he had to take over many of the duties of the house while I slept.  We had to call in help for daily activities; cleaning the house, driving the kids to their activities.  We quickly used up the medical resources of our rural Alaska physician.  We travelled 2500 miles to the Mayo Clinic for a full week of testing and physician consultations without a definitive source identified.  Western medicine alone was failing us.  Dr. Ikenze had been instrumental in helping our first daughter when she was an infant and we looked to her now to help with my problem.  We were beginning to lose hope until Dr. Ikenze said she expected we would see positive results from the remedy within a few weeks.  She was right.  Within a short time the numbness receded.  The infections became less frequent and my ability to stay awake and involved with my family has dramatically improved.  I no longer fear that a walk with my children will incapacitate me for the rest of the week.  My energy level has returned to 80% of where it was before the pregnancy.  My family and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Ikenze.

In 2006 on my dream vacation in Africa, I was bitten by a tick and diagnosed with South African Tick Fever. Immediately upon my return, I saw an infectious disease specialist as well as a tick specialist who gave me multiple antibiotics for more than 6 months. However, months later, I was still having debilitating symptoms including being extremely skinny (I lost over 10 lbs in one week when I first got sick and couldn’t regain it) and extreme fatigued. Dr. Ikenze helped me so much–She not only prescribed homeopathics for the tick illness specifically but also for my overall constitution. It has been a long journey but thankfully Dr. Ikenze’s expertise in homeopathy found me the right remedies to make a recovery and get my life back.  She has also been helpful in acute situations—for example, all of a sudden my eyes started drying out, she gave me a remedy and within hours my eyes started lubricating and feeling moist again. In addition, Dr. Ikenze is kind, caring and compassionate! Plus with her qualifications as both an MD and homeopathic doctor, you know you are getting the best of both medical paths. I am so grateful that Dr. Ikenze is my doctor!
