Lippman Cathie-Ann MD

I haven’t been to Dr. Lippman’s office in ages but I went again yesterday for a problem that doctors had no clue what to do about. I knew it would take months of doctor’s visits and tests to try to figure out what was going on. Instead, I spent a little over 1 hour at Dr. Lippman’s office and I left knowing that the root of my illness was in the mold growing in my bathroom. So to the argument that her fee is expensive, I think I would have spent a whole lot more if I had gone to western medicine doctors and had to deal with my co-​payments and deductibles. THIS IS REAL MEDICINE!

Dr. Lippman has changed the course of my life. I am forever in her debt for linking some of my significant health issues (auto-​immune, thyroid, sinus, infertility) and employing relatively simple solutions to get me on the path to good health. I truly believe that she unlocked the key to my recovery.

Dr. Lippman gave me back my life! Prior to going to her, I’d gone to 6 different doctors to try and remedy my stomach issues, dizziness and headaches. They gave me antacids, antibiotics, steroids and inhalers. Nothing worked and my life was gravely affected. Headaches, stomach pain and motion sickness make it difficult to like going anywhere. Anyway, finally relief was found through Dr. Lippman and her non invasive tests. And the cure didn’t involve antibiotics or antacids which aggravated the surplus of candida, which Dr. Lippman diagnosed, in my system, it involved a change in diet. She truly is passionate about achieving optimal well being in her patients. If you want to find the root cause of your ailment versus masking the symptoms, like traditional doctors do, contact her immediately.

I brought my daughter to Dr. Lippman years ago when as a small child she was sick all the time and allergic to almost everything. Traditional doctors had been prescribing nonstop antibiotics as the only fix until my daughter even became severely allergic to them too. Dr. Lippman performed a series of noninvasive tests to figure out the foods and environmental factors that were putting a great deal of stress on my daughter’s system. She gave us dietary recommendations, vitamin and mineral supplements, and herbal and homeopathic remedies that helped kick my daughter’s immune system into high gear allowing the body to begin to heal itself. And heal it did!!! Dr. Lippman is careful and very very smart… she has many years of experience in the alternative health field. I honestly believe that taking my daughter to her was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
I also began treating with her and she has helped me remain healthy and full of life. I am at that age when friends all around me are complaining about their health woes and all the prescription drugs they are taking that leave them with nasty side effects. I feel young and energetic and I owe that to Dr. Lippman and her wonderful holistic approach to health.

I appreciate the fact that Dr. Lippman got on the phone with me (this was a little over two years ago) to discuss digestion and mercury toxicity. She explained that as long as I had the mercury fillings in my mouth, my gut was going to be toxic. The problem is her initial office visit is SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS!
I cried, literally, when I heard that news. She’s out of network (i.e. takes no insurance) so at most Anthem would give me $ 40-​$ 60 for that SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR office visit. Bottom line: in Dr. Lippman’s world only the wealthy deserve to be treated.
So, I lost two precious years before I discovered the work of Andrew Cutler PhD and his book «Amalgam Illness.» Cutler’s book costs $ 40 and you’ll learn how to chelate like many thousands of people are doing without expensive «holistic» MD’s or any MD’s help. (Many of the holistic MD’s in Los Angeles use dangerous IV chelation methods anyway — Cutler’s protocol is «frequent low dose» oral chelation. According to Cutler, if someone offers you IV chelation or challenge tests, run!)
Anyway, I’m using Cutler’s book and am going to a fantastic naturopath/​kinesiologist, as needed, for support. (See my other Unilocal review for that info, he can muscle test for heavy metal issues and food allergies while you heal.) The kinesiology diagnosis and treatment is far less expensive and much more accurate than any blood test you’re going to get for mercury toxicity. As Cutler explains in his book «Amalgam Illness» there is no lab test for heavy metal toxicity in the brain, the only reliable test is upon cremation, and, even hair analysis won’t reveal the extent of mercury toxicity — levels can appear low because the body is not excreting the mercury, but holding onto it. Cutler has written an entire book on how to interpret hair analysis tests — again for far less than Lippman charges.
So, for those of you who may be discouraged, as I was, when I spoke to Dr. Lippman and found out her services are only available to the wealthy: do not despair. You can detox from heavy metals like thousands of other people are by way of Cutler’s protocol (book cost: $ 40) and decent supportive naturopathic/​kinesiology treatment (approx $ 60).
p. s. another important revelation in Andrew Cutler’s book is that 50% of mercury toxic people are «thiol sensitive». It means cutting out a whole lot of foods from your diet so you’ll feel better in just a week. I suspected I needed to cut out the thiol foods and an exclusion diet plus the applied kinesiology test confirmed it. For more info on high thiol foods and what symptoms they cause in a metal-​toxic body, you can just Google it. So, as healthy as the «Bieler broth» recipe that Dr. Lippmann posts on her website may sound for detox, it may make you feel a whole lot worse if you have hidden problems with high thiol foods — it’s loaded with high thiol veggies.

I love Dr.Lippman. Her way of treating her patients is very different. But if you do what she says, whatever ailment you have will be cured without any un natural medicines or substances. She makes me laugh with some of the stuff she does. It’s definitely unconventional. But it works.
I am a 21 year old woman with gallbladder disease. The top doctors at USC Medical Center told me my only option was to remove the organ completely or suffer with pain and take vicodin the rest of my life. Or at least until I’m forced to remove it because of the problems it will cause with other parts of my body.
With Dr. Lippman’s instructions I have been cured. As long as I do what she says then I don’t have any pain or other symptoms. It has now been a year since I was diagnosed. After Dr. Lippman’s prescription, which included regulating my diet and taking specific supplements daily I have not had any problems. Once I stop taking the medicine she suggests is when I start to notice negative changes. So I know it works.
I have gone back for follow up visits and have even been able to cut back on the number of supplements I have to take because of my improving condition. Long story short she is the bomb and will figure out what her patient needs. She asks the body, not the patient. Her unconventional approach to treating her patients really works and I love telling people how great she is.
Worth the money.
