Homeopathy ends endometriosis and fatigue

Don't wait to make this appointment!

I took every drug available for my endometriosis and had two surgeries without relief.  It took me two years to make the appointment at Asheville Natural Health & Homeopathy and only about a month before I was feeling well again!  Don’t wait to make this appointment!

Young man overcomes pain, depression after car accident

Dr. Coward has decreased my chronic pain and turned my emotional state around 180 degrees.

I found Dr. Coward after nine years of chronic pain, mental illness, and the resulting anguish. My issues stemmed from a horrific car accident (head-on with combined speed over 100 mph). I suffered major trauma to my head, neck, and the entire left side of my body. I was given disability and full (sort of!) state and federal health insurance.

After initial recovery, doctors and therapists of many types wanted to see me so many days per week, dictating my life in this way and that, and prescribe me so many pills with any number of negative reactions. I had health insurance, but the associated costs – monetary, mental and physical – were too much. And the treatments provided no relief. In fact, at times they made it worse.

Winter is the worst time of year for me. This winter I really declined. I became very ill, yet was left with an insatiable appetite to verbally fight for my treatment. I was incredibly angry at my condition and not ever able to find any relief.

Dr. Coward has decreased my chronic pain by 30% and I have not had to go to the ER since. My emotional state is 180 degrees different. Last week my chief complaint was that I wasn’t excited about anything. My pain was bearable, and I wasn’t depressed. After a session with Dr. Coward and a homeopathic remedy, I had enthusiasm and motivation to handle the challenges of life.

Every visit is like this. We keep the deeper underlying issues improving, and we can address surface issues as they come up. My life is still hard. I don’t expect the good doctor to give me the “easy life!” But I can say without reservation that Dr. Coward has restored a level of physical and emotional wellbeing in me that I haven’t felt in nine years. For this I am so grateful.

Homeopathy restores fertility

Homeopathy restored my menstrual cycle, and I got pregnant in four months!

When I visited a conventional fertility clinic I was told it was doubtful I could even have a menstrual period without medical intervention.  Dr. Coward restored my menstrual cycle in one month.  Four months after starting homeopathic treatment I was pregnant!  I can't express what a blessing homeopathy has been!

Happier and healthier with homeopathy

patient photo

I had never been to a homeopathic doctor before. Now I consider Dr. Coward my primary doctor.

I saw Dr. Coward to help me with some mental health issues and a very bad reaction to the stop-smoking drug Chantix. The reaction to the drug was severe and lasted several weeks. Dr. Coward was very compassionate and patient through this time. Using homeopathic remedies, diet recommendations, breathing exercises, and vitamins, he helped me get back on track.

He has continued to help me with my overall state of mind and health. I still use a low dose medication, but I feel better than I have in a long time. I had never been to a homeopathic doctor before. Now I consider Dr. Coward my primary doctor. He is one of the few doctors I’ve ever worked with that I felt actually cared about me and took the time to learn about me as a person. He spends more time with me than any doctor I’ve ever been to. He also has tools that are so different than regular doctors. They have helped me so much, and they have never caused any negative reaction. 

Gardener finds relief from pains of arthritis

I'm back working in my garden every day!

 It has been forty plus years since my introduction to homeopathy. When I started working with Dr. Coward, my arthritis was so bad I couldn’t do my gardening. I missed gardening so much! I traveled all the way from South Carolina to see him, and I’m thankful I did. My pains have gone almost completely away. Now I’m back in my garden every day, and I don’t need any pain pills.

Mom finds relief for daughters in homeopathy

Now both of my daughters are so healthy!

I took two of my children to see Dr. Coward.  One had problems with anxiety and fears.  I didn't want to use traditional medications or therapy for this, so I looked for an alternative.  That's when I heard about Dr. Coward.  After about six weeks of trying different remedies, Dr. Coward found a remedy that has worked wonderfully with my daughter.  She doesn't have as much fear or anxiety now and when she does she asks for her remedy.  She can tell a major difference and so can I.  

My other child had a mild case of asthma.  I didn't want her to be on steroids and after the success I had with my other child I took her to Dr. Coward also.  After trying several remedies, we found one that works for her.  Her breathing is much better and she is able to be much more active.  The best part is that neither of my children needs drugs that have potential side effects and they are both so healthy.  

I did have concerns about the cost of Dr. Coward’s care, especially since it isn’t covered by insurance. But, in the long run Dr. Coward’s cost is much less than the cost of taking my children to their doctor over and over.  The stress level is so much less and the children are healthy and happy.  They love going to see Dr. Coward.  They know it works.

Homeopathy lifts depression

Was it worth consulting a doctor whose practice was two hours away? It certainly was!

I came to Dr. Coward for a longstanding depression that had resisted treatment to conventional medicine. Dr. Coward listened thoughtfully and thoroughly, asked intelligent questions, and gave me a natural remedy that lifted my mood within a few days. I was amazed. I live in Knoxville and had been unsure whether it was worthwhile consulting a doctor whose practice was two hours away. It certainly was!

Seasonal allergies almost gone!

My son has not suffered an allergy attack since his first two weeks of treatment!

My son has chronic allergies.  He has always, to varying degrees, been congested, with seasonal flare ups occurring several times a year.  His symptoms have made him miserable and exhausted at times. 

We have treated him several times when he was miserable with over the counter medication for allergies. We have found that the medicines have masked the symptoms for a while, but have not helped keep them from recurring.  We have been hesitant to put him on a regimen of prescription drugs. In our opinion, putting chemicals into our bodies, in any form, should be a last resort for healing. Although medicines have cured any number of illnesses, we still have the feeling of "what, besides the healing properties of these medicines, are we putting into our bodies?" And once again, would the medicine help heal him, or would it just mask his symptoms?

We have been seeking treatment from Dr. Coward for several months now, and my son has had a marked decrease in his congestion, as well as not having suffered an allergy attack since the first two weeks of his treatment.  Dr. Coward is extremely kind and caring, and immediately put my son at ease, no easy feat considering my son's distrust of physicians.  I will continue to seek treatment from Dr. Coward for all health issues which any of my family members may experience.  I have found his treatments to be highly effective, and I take great comfort knowing that all of the remedies used are natural and will not harm my family in any way. 

Psoriasis sufferer recovers the use of his hands

Dr. Coward has facilitated the return of my physical AND emotional health.

When I came to see Dr. Coward for my psoriasis, I could barely feed myself because my hands were in such deplorable condition. Less than a month later, they are absolutely clear. That’s a real miracle, and absolutely life saving for me. And believe me, prior to seeking Dr. Coward’s help I tried everything from a series of colonics to every herbal/vitamin remedy under the sun; from strict diets eliminating certain foods to absolute fasting....NOTHING WORKED!!

I’m sorry Asheville Natural Health was my last resort! I am grateful for the friends who recommended I see Dr. Coward and of course to Dr. Coward himself for his genuine concern and expertise. He has facilitated the return of my physical AND emotional health. I offer my heartfelt thanks to Asheville Natural Health.
