Full transcript

Dr. Michelle Gamble is the best in the world at providing alternative and complementary therapies for her chronically ill patients to get them better and well. Dr. Michelle is an exceptional health detective. She uses a very in depth process that I have observed her use at close quarters. And the only way I can describe this is she's somebody that has vast experience and expertise in taking care of large numbers of people with chronic medical illness. So when she meets a patient one on one, such as when I was her patient, she sits down and takes a very in depth history and gets into every aspect of what might be causing the chronic medical illness. And then she puts the pieces together as if she's solving a puzzle, and whatever laboratory tests that are required and needed in order for her to confirm the validity of her assessment she orders them without any hesitation. And now she has confirmation. So she solved the puzzle. She presents the puzzle to the patient, and then she educates them so they can get the results. So this is Dr. Michelle Gamble's process. And I've been very fortunate to be her patient as well as be her colleague and be put through this process myself in which she helped me with chronic medical illness as well. Her patients are very blessed and fortunate to have access and exposure to her expertise. And this is a process that works for her to solve her patients medical problems, when she takes them apart like a riddle and solves them she is successful every single time. I would like to say a few words about Dr. Michelle Gamble's mental, emotional and spiritual approach to patient care. With regard to her mental approach, I would say that she is a very strong person, she has been through some incredible challenges in her own life, and she has helped patients through incredible challenges herself. So she presents herself as a very strong person that can withstand any adversity and come out on the other side intact. She also helps the patient tremendously with mindset. She always makes the patient focus on the solution rather than what caused the problem or what is exacerbating the problem, so that with a solution mindset the patient can arrive at the same place where she is and she's also extremely supportive. So on the mental side, I would say she's strong, she helps the patients with their mindset, and she's extremely supportive. On the emotional side there's three things. She's very empathic, she's very caring, and she's extremely kind and tender. On the spiritual side, she is a very deeply spiritual person, she's deeply faith based without being denominational, although she's a very devout Christian herself, I believe, she is also a sojourner, along with the patient in that she travels along with the patient on the path, the difficult thorn filled path that they're on to bring them out of their difficulty this is not where she is sitting on the other side of the river and saying, come on, you can do it, swim across. No, she is actually on that thorny path with the patient with you holding your hand and bringing you over to the other side.
