I would formally like to thank Dr Maurits Kruger from Health Renewal for helping my cousin and her new born baby who is only 4 weeks old. The baby had been sick for 2 full weeks causing the mother and father to have sleepless nights and in addition to that lead to the the mother and father getting sick. This cold recent winter snap really added an enormous amount of pressure to the new parents. I called Dr Maurits Kruger (as advised by my mother) to ask him if he would be able to suggest any treatments for both the baby and the parents. Dr Maurits Kruger assessed the baby’s condition over the phone, asking me various questions and then advised me to get a full set of homeopathic medication for her. This would treat the baby’s cough, mucus and immune system. He then advised that the parents take a few supplements at the same time to avoid the vicious cycle being repeated again. The family started the homeopathic medication on the Friday evening and the Dr Maurits Kruger advised that the family should be better that same Sunday and if they were not better, I was to call him immediately and he would come to the house and see the baby. Needless to say, the family were back on track by Sunday evening and all is well. The manner in which he made himself available and the advice given was amazing. He remained helpful and professional at all times – what a gem to the Health Renewal staff! A very big thank you to Dr Maurits!
In February 2015, I started a journey to renewed health with Dr Lee. I hated the diet, thought the supplements were not working, complained constantly to my son Shaun about how ghastly I was feeling all the time.In 1989 I contracted ME. At the age of 36, with a beautiful loving son and a great job and hectic social life, I became instantly housebound and was bedridden for months at a time. I had 7 spontaneous remissions during the following 26 years. They were all of three month's duration. After a remission I would lapse into a serious depression. Life was difficult. ME is an illness of loss. I lost my health, I lost my job, I lost a lot of friends, I lost the ability to do any form of physical activity, my life was reduced to resting. And sleeping. Then resting again.I also had my gall bladder removed, had a breast reduction operation, and a knee replacement. The after effects of the anesthesia in all cases were dire. I became incontinent in 1994, and have had to wear sanitary pads on a daily basis since. I battled with severe short term memory loss, tinnitus, migraines, bone pain, muscle pain, sore skin, repeated urinary tract infections, and a host of other nasty symptoms.Fast forward to end January 2015. My son had seen Dr Lee regarding his overall health. He suggested I see her, which I did. We had a good first session, Dr Lee reckoned I would be completely cured within a year to 18 months. I was ecstatic. We did lots of blood tests, DNA, fatty acids, ones that I have since forgotten.The regime of strict diet and much supplementation began. Changing my diet was difficult. I did not believe my body was absorbing any of the myriad of supplements. Dr Lee said I would notice a difference after three months. I still felt awful and told Shaun (who has paid for all the tests, food and supplements) that I was sure Dr Lee was a fraud and that I was going to stop everything. He urged me to try for another three months. I started getting food delivered from PaleoMonkey five times a week, two meals a day. It was okay at first, but the veggies were soggy and had to be reheated and the protein was always rubbery and tasteless. Six weeks later I thankfully quit. I now cook my own very healthy and delicious food.On 10 June I woke up and thought, "Hmm, I don't feel so bad today. Interesting". A week later I threw a little birthday celebration. Twenty eight people arrived, all on four days notice. Each day I feel stronger, healthier, happier and WOW, so alive. It is like a miracle to behold. I am forever indebted to my sweet Shaun and Dr Lee, who have given me back my life. Dr Lee never wavered from the course, even though I was a truculent, difficult patient. She has a massive knowledge of the body and its workings.To conclude, I hope you realize what a huge difference Dr Lee is making to your practice. Please cherish her and give her the support and encouragement she needs to continue her great work.
This is a short story of my life:Three years ago, i.e. in 2013 to be precise, I was introduced to Skin Renewal for weight loss. I’ve been struggling with my weight loss for ages. I have tried the vegie juice, which was indeed the best detoxing agent for me, but it had its own highs and lows. Subsequent to my body detox I would be hospitalized. That’s when I decided to go to Skin Renewal for help. What impressed me the most was the medical supervision from the Nursing Sister/ Doctor. I then started with the weight loss program. Initially my weight was 76kg and my target weight was meant to be 55kg. During the first two weeks I lost 6.3kg. I was very excited and my weight dropped to 69.7kg. Thereafter I couldn’t lose any more weight. I was frustrated and the sister asked me to record everything I ate. I was scared to put my diet on paper as I thought I wasn’t following the instructions. Then the sister gave me a surprise call. I had lied to her and told her that I ate Nando’s instead of boiled chicken. I got frustrated as I thought nothing seemed to work for me. I subsequently decided to quit Skin Renewal. I went into a severe depression. One day I asked myself why did I quit Skin and Body Renewal. I couldn’t get an answer. A year later I decided to go back. My conscience spoke to me that quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit. I had to get to the bottom of my yo- yo diets. This time around I was extremely cautious. I then made my first appointment with the Skin Renewal. I followed through till I couldn’t lose any more weight again. I recorded everything I ate and I just couldn’t lose any more weight. I then requested the nursing sister to book an appointment with the Doctor. This is when I was introduced to Dr and all my problems unfolded. He gave a questionnaire to fill in. All the questions on that questionnaire were about everything that was happening in my life at the time. The long and short of this was that I was suffering from the following without even realising: Chronic constipation –Had trombone haemorrhoids and had to undergo a surgical procedure Severe fatigue – Taking energy supplements and nothing worked Severe depression – Been on anti-depressants and ended up having water retention in my body. Memory loss- I would literally look for something that was in my hand Bad eye sight – Had to wear my spectacles since everything would be blurred without them Poor libido - Never intimate with my husband for the past three year. Always having excuses. Suicidal – I was highly suicidal but scared of a failed attempt. Low self-esteem- Was very withdrawn and kept to myself. Panic attacks etc.- forever scared and thinking the worst was going to happen to me. Bad sleeping patterns- scared to go to bed. Couldn’t sleep before 23h00 or 24h00 daily. Spinal Injury- Confined to my bed for two months with a very slow healing process. Sore body- Every part of my body was very sore. I would scream when my husband tried to give me a body massage. My body felt empty with no substance or matter. It felt like an empty painful shell with so many invisible cracks within. My life was deteriorating every single day.My answers, based on the above, were all positive and couldn’t disclose this to anyone as I trusted nobody. It took a while before I could open up to the Dr. He then assured me that everything will be fine. I looked at him and I thought to myself ‘yeah right’. My scepticism got the better of me. He then requested me to go for blood test. I got a shock of my life when my blood results were revealed to me.As of today I can proudly confirm that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I’m feeling much, much better. Can’t wait to be back on my weight loss program and to prove to the nursing sister that I am neither a cheater nor a quitter and I can do it.Thank you Dr, for playing such a huge role and for contributing so much in my life, and, being my BFF in my journey. Love you too much and may the Lord bless you and give you more strength to save more patients like me. I’ve been given a second chance in life and hopefully you and I will be able to translate this story in a book someday, to save more troubled lives.
The team at Skin Renewal, particularly, Magda, changed my life. They took me from being unhealthy, over weight, unhappy to exactly the opposite. I lost +/-20 kgs, I run and train 6 days a week and I absolutely love my life. Nothing was ever to much trouble for them, I received tremendous support and encouragement from everyone. Magda specifically supported me through emotional upheaval in my personal life. She was firm when she needed to be and extremely supportive and understanding when things just got to be too much. This is not an easy way to loose weight, but it would have been impossible without Magda. She is simply the best!
Extremely happy with service received from the team. They are extremely accommodating with regards to appointments and treatments!
The Constantia Health Renewal Clinic, with Nurse Serena and Filda, is fabulous with warm personalities and very efficient weight loss results.
