My name is L.J., I am 43 and live in Otsego. I met Dr. Dan McDonald at the farmers market in August 2010. Little did I know how my life was about to change for the better. My health had always been something that was put on the back burner mainly because of the little faith I have in doctors. Now, for $20 I could get a full body scan and evaluation. My teenager was pestering me to leave but I made the appointment and am so glad I did.

When I first started the nutrition program Dr. Dan said my body was not open to healing. I needed to take supplements to remove the mercury that was in my body from my fillings. I was also told there were several weaknesses including my heart. He told me to avoid sugar, dairy, perfumes and fragrances and I was given supplements to remove the mercury and to help with stomach issues. I was skeptical but also worried; I had all those problems on top of my biggest complaints of hip and back pain. I decided it wasn’t much of a gamble and I was “all in”.

I had suffered hip pain off and on for about 3 years and it was getting much worse because I started jogging. After about a month of being on the nutrition program I noticed I could now run and not have near the amount of pain I used to suffer. It is at this point that my body began healing itself and I could start getting my back adjusted.

I had never been to a chiropractor and suffered for years with lower back pain and other areas of my back as well. I now know I suffered needlessly. Each week I would feel improvement, even though I would occasionally reinjure myself or pull a muscle. My daily life had been riddled with constant back pain and movements that I couldn’t make without pain. Before seeing Dr. Dan I couldn’t bend and straighten without pain, I couldn’t sleep and wake up without pain, I couldn’t do daily chores without pain, I couldn’t stand for long periods of time, on and on.. Now I can do all of those things WITHOUT pain.

It is now the end of January 2011. I enjoy good energy and sleep well at night. My heart has improved. I still see Dr Dan regularly to work on nutrition and my back. I would encourage people to stick to their program and trust Dr. Dan. Things don’t happen overnight, the supplements take a bit of time to work, but they are safe and effective-which no drug can claim.

Besides being very knowledgeable, Dr Dan has a very kind and helpful manner. I have told Dr. Dan that he is a Dr. who helps and I hope he continues his practice for a very long time. I recommend him to anyone!  -L.J.

Before meeting Dr. Dan my wife had been going to him for many different problems. After watching her for about a year with great results I started seeing him later that year. I have suffered with type II diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive heart disease and edema for years. Since August my legs and feet don’t hurt anymore, the swelling in my legs is gone and I have a lot more energy and ambition. I highly recommend Dr. Dan for Nutrition Response Testing and chiropractic care.  -C.E.

Having not been a fan of chiropractic care I was skeptical and wary but intense neck pain brought me in. After 3 weeks of care I experienced a dramatic decrease in pain and after 2 months I am completely pain free. Dr. Dan is a good listener and is respectful of my time which I very much appreciate.  -C.R.

Recently, diabetic conditions have kept me out of work. Thanks to Dr. Dan, I am virtually symptom free and able to return to work. Thank you Dr. Dan!  -K.P.

I have been seeing Dr. Dan for about three months and he has become like a best friend to me. At seventy years old, I was feeling like I had about reached the end of the road. Since I broke my hip in January I just wasn’t getting any energy back and then I hit my ribs, and that really set me back.
Dr. Dan has been very caring, always asking how I’m doing, and what we need to work on, be it pains, diet, or my well being. I’ve gained confidence back as well as energy and have been feeling much better.
I still work up to forty hours a week, swim, roller skate, go for walks and do many other things, so my health is very important to me. Thank you Dr. Dan.  -M.P.

Dr. Dan McDonald is not just your ordinary chiropractor. Aside from his thoroughness at locating troublesome nervous system problems, his knowledge of how the body works and what it needs “naturally” is phenomenal to me. His ability to center right on specific trigger points where muscles are so tight they are not allowing the rest of the body to function properly is also something I’ve not experienced before. And his genuine interest and enthusiasm in helping his patients be healthy individuals is a clear indication of his dedication to each and every one of his patients.  -B.H

‘Enduring a life of pain’--not the way I want to live my life! I suffered from terrible back pain, osteoporosis and have had radiation therapy to my neck and throat for cancer. My general and emotional health has been on a downhill decline. My daughter told me about Dr. Dan and recommended I seek his help. I have learned so much about the way to a life of better health, free of pain. People who see me every day notice the difference Dr. Dan's care has had.  From my chiropractic care, nutritional advice and herbal supplements, I now have an ‘unending appetite for life’.  Thank you, Dr. Dan!  -Y.T.

I was in chiropractic care for approximately 4-5 years prior to going to Dr. Dan.  During that time period I saw 6 different chiropractors and about 3-4 different physical therapists, a physiologist and spine specialist so I can safely say that I have experienced a wide variety of techniques.  I experienced some relief from most of these previous treatments but quickly progressed to a plateau where I stayed and my symptoms did not continue to improve as these medical professionals were only focusing on their area of expertise.  I met Dr. Dan at a business organization meeting where he spoke about his holistic approach to chiropractic care. Not only does he look at bones and joints he also looks at muscles, tendons, exercise, nutrition, herbal supplements and health issues specifically pertaining to women’s' health such as iodine and adrenal gland deficiencies.  He spends a great deal of time with each patient at the initial exam which focuses on an extensive health history and physical exam using Nutrition Response Testing that looks to the deeper cause of the problem.   He also schedules a sufficient amount of time between patients and you never feel rushed at an appointment.  At a prior chiropractor’s office it was not uncommon for 5-6 patients to have the same appointment time and the appointment times were 15 minutes apart which gave the doctor approximately 2 1/2 - 3 minutes per patient.  After seeing Dr. Dan for a short period of time I felt better because my pain was reduced and I slept better at night.  There are alternatives to drugs and surgery and I would encourage anyone to see Dr. Dan and find out what alternative he has that may work for you.  -L.M.

I have been a patient at Infinite Wellness Chiropractic for about three months, and I am completely satisfied with the services I receive by Dr. Dan. Over the years I have had two whiplash injuries and have treated on and off with other chiropractors, and wish that Dr. Dan would've been there for me during these periods. He takes the time for his patients, he is kind, considerate, understanding and compassionate, and he is very informative. Dr. Dan really cares about his patients. I could not ask for better service. I see a big change in my health and using his suggested food supplements, I have more energy! I highly recommend Dr. Dan to help make a difference in your life, I believe in chiropractic wellness as lifestyle! Thank you so much and God Bless you Dr. Dan. -T.C.

In the beginning, it was a struggle to get through the day. My hands were violet purple and became so dry they would sometimes crack open and start bleeding, staining my clothes. My hands looked as if they were about to fall off! On top of that, I had a knack for labor intensive nose bleeds, lasting upwards of 1 hour before I could get them to slow down. I lost so much blood I would often times be light-headed for five to six hours afterward. I thought my solution would be going to the medical doctor. Upon going there, they diagnosed me with Raynaud's Disease (which is no more than purple hands) and all they said to do is go buy this expensive hand lotion. It did absolutely nothing! I began to suffer even greater when the weather became colder and I had to resort to wearing gloves at all times (even during school) to warm my hands and hide them from the outside world. I had only one option: chiropractic care. When my mother told me I had an appointment I became skeptical and thought “I don’t need this” but I was totally wrong. Dr. Dan improved my lifestyle to the way I have dreamed about. My hands no longer have their purple color. My hands no longer bleed and crack. I improved my autonomic performance, muscle performance, and I feel normal. But the most incredible thing about Dr. Dan is that he stopped my nose bleeds. Before I started seeing him I had them twice a week, and even one that lasted 45 minutes in his office. But since the start of 2009 (I started seeing him December 18, 2008) I have not had a nose bleed! Dr. Dan saved my life. By applying his special knowledge of nutrition and his incredible chiropractic skills he will be able to save yours too!  -C.B.

I have experienced different methods of chiropractic, but Dr. Dan in the first holistic chiropractor I have had the opportunity to utilize.  Dr. Dan’s knowledge and skill in chiropractic has been instrumental in reducing the numerous aches and pains that I had always attributed to the aging process. I had resigned myself to the fact that at age 61 I would be subjected to feeling like this and worse, as time went on, for the rest of my life.  Little did I know that besides the chiropractic alignments and adjustments, Dr. Dan would teach me that eating wholesome, organic, and nutritious foods would promote a healthy mind, body, and spirit. I bless the day I met Dr. Dan.
My overall health has improved significantly and there’s a noticeable difference in my activity and energy levels. After seeing Dr. Dan this past year, and utilizing the supplements he suggests, I have much more energy, and it sustains me throughout my workday and into the evening.  In addition, I am delighted to have eliminated all over-the-counter drugs, plus the gradual elimination of nearly all the prescription drugs I’d been taking throughout my adult life.  I haven’t felt this good in years. I’m grateful Dr. Dan is part of my life.
With Dr. Dan’s help I now foresee a bright future of good health and more enjoyable activity than I’d ever thought possible.  I hope this will convince you, like it has me, about the importance of holistic chiropractic care.  Dr. Dan will help give you back a life worth living!  -C.E.

I had been to other chiropractors before and thought all they did was walk in and crack your back. Dr. Dan is much different, you can tell by talking to him that he has your best interest in mind by the way he listens and explains the procedure he is going to do. When I first started seeing Dr. Dan I had really bad heartburn and allergies that kept me up and didn’t allow my wife or I to get a good night sleep. After a few months of treatment I have not had any issues with my allergies and we are both sleeping better. I think my wife appreciates Dr. Dan just as much as I do, and she has never even met him.  -C.V.    Update: His wife is now also a patient with a great success story!
