Just wanted to take a moment at year’s end to express my deep gratitude for all of the help you have given me and my wife, Wanda. The year 2011 will always be remembered by us as the year we were fortunate enough to be taken into your care.
At year’s end 2010, it was a different story. Personally, I was exhausted, with none of my usual energy reserves remaining. No matter how much sleep, how much nutrition – I was dead on my feet. As I awoke in the morning, I discovered my fingers were shut tight and I could hardly open my hands. I was 25 pounds over-weight. I was actually beginning to feel “old”.
Our business is highly demanding, requiring extended international travel and considerable physical activity servicing ocean going marine vessels. In 2010, the pace was brutal as we continued to grow our business in a worsening world economic environment. Although we are vegetarians, do not take alcohol, and have always been focused on optimum nutrition, the end of 2010 left us both exhausted.
Thanks to much research and reading, we found you. Your extensive efforts with Wanda have put her back on the path to optimal well-being, and I have witnesses a world of difference in her.
As for me, I never would have expected that at the age of 62, I would ever again experience the physical vitality I once had at the age of 30. And that is where I am today. Not only has my reserve energy returned, but I feel as if I have shed 30 years. I am frankly astounded at just how great I feel on a daily basis. Every day is a joy indeed.
I have deep respect for your comprehensive and educated approach which ventures beyond conventional thinking to therapies based on sound science and positive outcomes. Your evaluations and treatments have truly shined the light. And what always so impresses me about you is your continued thirst for knowledge, for advancement. Moreover is your personal interest in your patients. I only wish our present medical thinking would jump 100 years ahead and adopt your holistic approach.
So thank you, Dr. Stivi. I look forward to at least 60 more years working with you.
Best Regards,

"Remember when you were a young child and had fallen sick, that wonderful feeling of having a parent who simply couldn't do too much to help you? Someone who showed unconditional love and concern, and who calmly ensured you were always comfortable, and had the best treatment to ensure your speedy recovery? Well, that's how I feel whenever I attend Dr. Stivi's clinic at the New Health Institute. Dr. Stivi and her team of angels are so bright, efficient, skilled and caring, that it doesn’t feel like visiting a clinic at all, more like a salon or day spa. I have met so many other smiling patients on my visits there who share that they feel as wonderfully well looked-after as I do. Dr. Stivi has an impressive command of cutting-edge nutritional healing and I always feel the benefits of my treatments for a long time following each visit to her clinic. In fact, I tend to instantly feel rejuvenated, hydrated, energized and made physically stronger by the specific cocktail of vitamins and nutrients that she prepares for me. In short, I cannot recommend the New Health Institute highly enough. It is everything a modern place of healing should be, and yet one that so very few places actually succeed in being. And Dr. Stivi and her fabulous team are some of the nicest, kindest people I know, in a hospital or otherwise. Thank you for your healing therapy, hands, hearts and smiles. "

Generally, I am very good health, but I need to stay in optimal form to accomplish my professional goals. As my work schedule can be demanding, especially with many international trips each year, my energy level was sagging, and I was beset with a series of colds and flues. That changed after my visits to Dr. Stivi's New Health Institute. My energy level improved, and, even during the past two winters when respiratory ailments were abundant, I took over 10 international trips on very busy journeys, and I have had only one three-day cold and no flu in the past two years. I give Dr. Stivi and her staff a hearty endorsement.

“I am very pleased to have Dr. Stivi as my family doctor. I love the attention and time that she devotes to her patients; it is not just a quick 5 minute conversation in an exam room. I used to suffer from severe migraines and my toddler was constantly suffering from cold and ear infections. Her approach of treating us adding the right supplements, correct diet, understanding our bodies as a whole, helped us to turn this situation around and today we enjoy a much better life. I highly recommend Dr. Stivi to any of my friends. “

I chose Dr. Stivi on the recommendation of friends whose longevity is hale and hearty. They credit their health to the recommended life style choices and enlightened medical care of Dr. Stivi.
Dr. Stivi’s holistic awareness has brought into balance my own physical and emotional stamina. From blood pressure in the 180’s, I am now in the 120’s and no longer require medication.
One of her many professional gift is her insightful listening and calm, and the abundant time she grants to each patient. Dr. Stivi’s office staff also reflects her own upbeat attitude and dedication to patients.
I highly recommend Dr. Stivi to everyone I meet.

It is with sheer delight and pleasure that I write this thank you note. There are not enough words in the English language to properly express my gratitude to Dr. Stivi and all that she has done for me.
Prior to coming to your clinic I have been traveling from one doctor to another in an attempt to solve the mystery of my failing health. It made absolutely no sense as to why a 45 year old mother of 4, working full time and running 3 – 5 miles every other day would randomly crash and enter suffer from one health dilemma after another.
To the long list of conventional doctor the CT and MRI scans, Endoscopies and many other tests showed absolutely nothing. Their conclusion was that if nothing was wrong metabolically or anatomically, then nothing could be possibly wrong with me. I was consequently sent home with no answers and the same overwhelming symptoms.
Unfortunately, the conventional medical world does not look at each patient comprehensively. It is those rare doctors who “think outside the box” and implement the synergistic partnership of natural medicine with conventional medicine that find amazing solutions and solve mystery after mystery.
Thank you, Dr. Stivi, for having the vision to incorporate a staff of caring professionals who work together to heal, rebuild and renew patients. From conventional Medicine to Acupuncture, to IV Infusion, Nutrition and much, much more, you truly are the model for the New Health Institute.
In addition to your vast knowledge as an M.D. you demonstrated an uncanny measure of compassion with your patients. Your loving and genuine hospitality is reflected in your entire staff. This health office is far from the ordinary. It is extraordinary in every way.
Thank you for putting me back on my feet again. Thank you for restoring my vitality and energy. Thank you for caring the way you do so tenderly with each and every patient who comes your way. To the entire staff of the New Health Institute…..thank you for what you do so well……bringing people truly, back to life one by one. You are a miracle worker.

I cannot fully express how happy I am for your diagnosis to correct my being over medicated with antidepressants and my chronic fatigue. I was convinced that I had some sort of brain disorder and even went for a scan before coming to see you. My life has improved as a result of your exceptional insight and care. I am so grateful to have you as my personal physician. I am very pleased as well that you have now taken over the care of my daughter.

Six months ago my two fingers began to hurt and became swollen. Then my wrists began to hurt and get stiffer with growing pain in the legs and arms. I could not raise my arms over my head to undress or comb my hair. I had no strength or energy to put my socks or shoes on and needed help to get out of bed. Brushing and flossing my teeth seemed impossible. I went to my local Doctor following some blood work. He sent me to a Rheumatologist. My real help came after I came to California to see Doctor Stivi who treated me with IV therapies in October, 2009. Since that time I have been able to live a normal life – dress myself, walk at a faster pace, cook and clean up, wash and fold clothes – with no extra pain or stiffness. My hands and wrists are getting better and I am looking forward to being able to drive my car and especially getting back into knitting again.

My mother Lucila became very ill while visiting my brother in Florida and was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. The progression of the disease seemed very rapid and I flew to Florida to help bring her home. I spoke to Dr. Stivi regarding her diagnosis and she suggested that I read about Glutathione therapy for Parkinson's patients. When we returned to California, Dr. Stivi recommended two IV Glutathione treatments per week for 6 weeks. By the second week of treatment my mother was doing much better and by the third week she was almost completely back to her self. Her personality, facial expression and her balance had improved. The anxiety and sleeplessness was diminishing. After 6 weeks of therapy, she discontinued the use of her walker. Now 4 months later, she has returned to her normal life. She goes to Sunday meetings, goes out with friends, walks in our neighborhood with no signs of Parkinson's disease! Thank you very much,

Dr. Stivi has treated me for 2 years plus. Dr. Stivi has always been very concerned about my health and always has been right on track diagnosing health issues in a very amazing, precise, quick way. I am very pleased and comfortable in placing myself in Dr. Stivi's care.

“I contracted cancer of the tongue in 2006. I came home after treatments unable to speak, drink or eat. My normal weight before cancer was 160 lbs. and dropped to 116 lbs. after the treatment. I was nothing but skin and bones. I needed help to recover from the radiation treatments I received and did not want to go back to the previous health clinic. I called a doctor who worked at that clinic and asked her for a recommendation for the treatment I needed to recuperate. She gave me the number for Dr. Stivi. She began giving me treatments with emphasis in vitamin C in large quantities along with other vitamins and antioxidants. I noticed the difference in my health within 3 months. My health continued to improve, began to feel better, and gained weight. I now weigh 155.5 lbs and feel like a new man. I am almost 70 years old. I thank God and Dr. stivi for her extensive knowledge in her medical field and her endeavor to help people such as me. I strongly recommend her to every one that is in need of medical and alternative medicine.”
Ariel Ferrales – Laguna Niguel, CA
Dr. Stivi is the finest Doctor I've ever been to. She is very thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. Her first choice is to heal through nutrition and lifestyle. She also uses traditional medicine when needed. Her goal is more than curing illness. Her goal is to keep her patients radiantly healthy. Her office is a friendly, happy place. I have recommended Dr. Stivi to my friends and they are all very happy about it.

“My wife and I have been patients of the New Health Institute since its formation in 2004. We are both in our late 70’s and travel from the east Coast to Newport beach every year for our annual check up. Dr. Stivi uses her extensive experience to diagnose the non-obvious conditions that regular doctors may overlook. In my case I have had high blood pressure, high cholesterol; upper and lower GI problems, high homocystene, C-ractive protein, all of which have been long gone since without the use of prescription medications. We highly recommend Dr. Stivi and her team of professionals at the New Health Institute.”

“My wife and I often reflect on how fortunate we are to have you as our primary doctor. We look forward to your warm greeting, and the care and consideration you show to us during our visit with you. We have never have to wait and never felt rushed, and the session are very organized with follow up lab reports on any health issues we may have. We have told you this before, and we mean it – you are a real doctor, one who truly cares about your patients even to the point of calling us at home when we have a malady. We are greatful to have you as our doctor and our friend.”
Arthur and Nadia Hartigan – Huntington Beach, CA
I initially heard Dr. Stivi speak at a women's meeting, and was so impacted that I couldn't stop thinking about her lecture. Of course, my initial question was about "how much is this going to cost me? Is insurance going to cover this?" but prior to seeing her, I didn't think twice about spending hundreds of dollars on junk food! After spending over 1 hour with me she informed me that we were going to work on a specific plan designed specifically for me and my biomedical needs as our complex physiological systems need proper intracellular function. I had never had any medical doctor spend over 1 hour with me detailing a game plan for my wellness.
To date, I have had the incredible experience of learning how to detox my body, understand how complimentary & alternative medicine aids my wellness and increases my overall energy. Dr. Stivi has positively affected my chronic illnesses and influenced my lifestyle. I am such a believer in Dr. Stivi, that I have 4 other family members seeing Dr. Stivi. You don't just meet Dr. Stivi, you experience her.

Following a diagnosis of prostate cancer by local Urologist, among other things, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Stivi.
Her medical knowledge and treatment have only been exceeded by her professional, sincere, and genuine care of me as if I were the only individual in the world.
You need a first or second opinion? Go to Dr. Stivi. There is none better. No matter how far you have to travel, you won’t be sorry you did.

Dr. Stivi is an exceptionally caring and skilled Doctor emphasizing wellness for her patients. She has been my Doctor for several years before starting her own practice.
Through her doctoring I have been able to keep my discoid lupus and my Raynaud’s disease in remission. I take no prescription medication except cortisone cream occasionally. I take a walk almost daily and am very active at age 81.
Dr. Stivi treats the whole person for a healthy balance.

Dr. Stivi combines the best of modern medicine with alternative therapies, designed with the individual in mind. Since we are not all alike and do not all respond in exactly the same way to treatment, she is willing to take the time to find what ways will help you to heal in the best possible way; truly the way a doctor should.

A year ago, I had developed a condition in my left heel that made walking very painful. I could not carry basic living functions, like shopping, cleaning and cooking. I took pain medication but it did not help much. My pain was getting worse. I did some internet research and discovered that main stream medicine offers very little help and that surgery was only 50% successful. At 52 I was beginning to worry about how I would live the rest of my life with such pain.
When I went to see Dr. Stivi, I had little hope that my condition could be cured. After a careful evaluation she recommended IV therapy. I went grocery shopping after the first treatment, and I could not believe the feeling. My pain decreased by 50%. Now after nine treatments my pain is completely gone! I can walk comfortably again without tennis shoes.
Dr. Stivi gave me a treatment that changed my life. That is why I call her my miracle doctor! I tell about her to all my friends and clients. I always carry her business cards, so I can give them to anybody that has medical problems. I shall be forever grateful.

Seven years ago my doctor diagnosed me with Polymalgia Rheumatica. I went to see Dr. Stivi after being told by my Ophthalmologist that the Prednisone subscribed to me by my doctor is bad for my eyes. Following a comprehensive blood test along with a complete physical she prescribed specific vitamins and minerals and I begun feeling “good” again.
Ralph BrennerDr. Stivi has taught me how to fight off old-age symptoms by helping me regulate my blood pressure, lower my weight, control my asthma and diabetes. She monitors my health with blood testing and prescribed medicines, supplements and minerals to keep me ticking.
I am an 86 year old avid gardener. I spend much time climbing up and down a 40 degree slope and am currently installing ceramic tile in one of my bathroom showers. I feel that Dr. Stivi has contributed to my living the good life in my senior years. She is extremely attentive and caring.

I am as happy to write that I have made progress in
how I feel. I am stronger; my walking is much better;
As a result I am not under the emotional and mental
strain I was before. I am getting a better rest at night.
My husband noticed an improvement in my attitude and
has noticed that I am doing things around the house
I was not physically able to do before. I believe that
the program you have set up for me has been most helpful.

Dr. Stivi was superb. She spent the necessary amount
of time with me and I felt that she was genuinely concerned

I first met Dr. Stivi in April of 2002 when I traveled to California looking for an alternative to conventional medicine for my aging ailments.
I had retired and was looking forward to quality time without the requirements of working full time and the demands of raising three children. However, my health had deteriorated to the point that I was constantly in pain from various medical conditions. I had been diagnosed with arthritis, osteoporosis, rapid heartbeat and angina, overweight, borderline diabetic and shingles. After a physical with my local physician I left his office with five (5) prescription medications. Each one had serious side effects. Without filling a prescription, I immediately made an appointment and headed for California.
Dr. Stivi was responsible for a complete turn around in my health. She discovered I had heavy metal levels, primarily mercury. I stayed in California for 3 weeks and made two more round trips within the next three months to remove the mercury from my system. I attended her lectures and learned a new way living healthy. During my time in California I received daily treatments of IV vitamins and minerals, EECP treatments for the heart, acupuncture, massage and reflexology. I returned again in November of 2003 for additional follow up and daily treatments.
From the first appointment to the last my health has greatly improved. I have reduced my cholesterol from 244 to 190; lost 27lbs and I have not had a recurrence of shingle pain. I no longer have rapid heart beat or angina and I have improved my bone density significantly. The only prescription drugs I am taking are a natural thyroid and a compounded estrogen.
I now am enjoying my retirement the way I had anticipated. Thanks to Dr. Stivi who not only diagnosed and treated me for the various maladies but taught me a new way to live. I shall be forever grateful.

After having had two heart attacks and five angioplasty procedures within six months, my cardiologist told me that bypass surgery was the only option left. I was a 30-year old diabetic at the time, and I knew that I wasn’t a good candidate for bypass surgery. I also knew that some bypass patients had to undergo the procedure again in as little as a year or two after their first surgery. I couldn’t face that. That’s when I found Dr. Stivi.
Dr. Stivi’s treatments for my coronary artery disease and my diabetes have improved both conditions immensely. I am no longer a candidate for bypass surgery, and I have been able to cut away down on my insulin. Then I developed another problem.
I have had diabetic neuropathy for many years, and recently it started getting worse. Walking was difficult and painful, and climbing up and down stairs was almost impossible. Dr. Stivi came to my rescue again with two new treatments that brought about an amazing improvement in my condition. The first was anodyne therapy. After just a few treatments, there was much less pain in m legs and feet. Even so, Dr. Stivi wasn’t satisfied. She continued to search for other therapies that might be even more effective in treating my condition.
Her research led her to a treatment called Lipoic Acid Therapy. After my very first treatment, I felt no pain in my legs and feet for the first time in many years. Thank you, Dr. Stivi. You continue to give me hope for a healthy and happy future!
