Recent Testimonials
From Our Previous Patients

  • My life changed when I began treatment at the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine.

    “I have suffered with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and Diabetes Type 2 for a number of years. As the MCS progressively worsened over the years, I was basically confined to my home. Certain activities of daily living became impossible or extremely difficult for me to do; shopping, pumping gas, traveling, attending religious services. I began to socialize less and less with friends and family, due to their homes or they themselves not being environmentally friendly. Their laundry detergent, perfumes, or deodorant would cause me to become very ill. My diabetes was also out of control, even with traditional prescription drugs including insulin. My life changed when I began treatment at the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine.* My diabetes is finally stable with the correct diet, supplements, and exercise regimen.* My MCS no longer has complete control over my life.* I still avoid chemical exposure as much as possible but with supplements and a personal air purifier I am now able to be more independent and enjoy a social life once again.* My quality of life has significantly improved only after 2 months of treatment!* I cannot thank them enough!* *Disclaimer: There is no guarantee of successes for any given medical treatment. Each individual is unique and may respond differently to our medical services, meaning results may vary for each person.”

  • Your center for advanced medicine is beyond the scope and understanding of conventional medical practitioners.

    “Thank you very much for [information on] all the food sources. I feel renewed.* Dr Grout, I can only imagine the demand for your services. Your center for advanced medicine is beyond the scope and understanding of conventional medical practitioners.* Thank you for taking so much time with me.* *Disclaimer: There is no guarantee of successes for any given medical treatment. Each individual is unique and may respond differently to our medical services, meaning results may vary for each person.”

    N.S.

  • I had a second chance in life after meeting Dr. Grout.

    “I had a second chance in life after meeting Dr. Grout.
    I have been very sick with Lyme disease for 30 years and Dr. Grout immediately put me on a healing path which included nutrition, supplements, heavy metal testing, antibiotics and alternative therapies. My most profound improvements came from the alternative treatment, SOT (Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy).
    I am very fortunate for having met Dr.Grout and thankful for the treatment options she presented. I am 6 months into the treatment and I am currently doing things I have not been able to do for years which include cognitive functions and physical tasks.
    Dr. Grout and team are all very efficient and organized. Also, Dr. Grout has authored a book “An Alphabet of Good Health in a sick world” which is a good read for anyone with chronic illness.”

  • Thank you Dr. Grout, and thanks also to a friendly and caring staff!

    “Dr. Grout tested me for sensitivity to certain foods.* After deleting those offending foods from my diet, and following a healthy diet my health has improved dramatically.* Thank you Dr. Grout, and thanks also to a friendly and caring staff!* *Disclaimer: There is no guarantee of successes for any given medical treatment.

  • This was the most positive experience I have ever had at a doctor’s office.

    “This was the most positive experience I have ever had at a doctor’s office.* Dr. Korn listened and made us a part of the decisions that were made.* He was kind and very accessible. Everyone in the office was very nice, helpful, and knew what they were doing.* *Disclaimer: There is no guarantee of successes for any given medical treatment.
