No western doctors could figure out what was wrong with me. With 4 trips to ER with severe nausea, unstoppable vomiting and weakness. Multiple follows up with my GP, with no answers and no ideas what was causing it. My hair was falling out in chunks – “alopecia” , my back hurt all the time and my knees were also getting so bad, I could not walk more then 2-3 blocks without major pain and had specialists telling me it would only get worse. They had me use hiking poles, special braces and cortisone injections, Ibuprofen and feldene for pain - and still they got worse. Yes, stuff gets worse with age, but in my mid-50s and for someone who had no injuries or major sports problems, this was crazy. I had zero energy. I used to workout at least daily – 45-60 mins, sometimes 2x daily and would mountain bike, play golf, tennis or hike on the weekends. I could barely get to work every day and would come home after and just sit on the couch, eat a bit and go to bed. It was like I was constantly suffering from the worst hangover of my life – everyday. My wife thought I was dying, she was probably right. After being referred by a friend to Dr. Murczek, he work with me to find the root causes: 10 + years of Prilosec 2x daily, had turned my stomach off and I was getting little or no nutrition, especially protein, so my body was stealing its own protein to try and survive. It was stealing from all protein rich areas in my body, compromising the cartilage in my knees and back! My kidneys, liver, adrenal and whole digestive system was all a mess. I am sure there more issues too. He slowly got me off the Prilosec and pain meds and found that I was also hypoglycemic. I changed my eating habits and now eat “paleo” in addition to doing all the other ‘amazing combination of treatments’ his has in his practice and a year later, I am riding my mountain bike, walking, hiking and I am getting my energy levels back. I no long use knee braces (which can actually make it worse by the way), no more meds and no more trips to ER! I am sure it will continue to get better and I am committed to making it work with Dr. Tony’s support. I feel alive again. I getting more centered and connected to my own body and what it needs. I don’t know what I would be doing today or rather not doing, if we had not found Dr. Murzcek!

What do I want most from my doctor? Results. I have received results here, hence the following positive review. I have three items that Id like to share with you about my experience at Mountain Spring Health Clinic. (1) After just a couple of weeks of basic treatment, my blood disease of many months vanished. Luck? No. Dr. T had me make a few adjustments in my diet and lifestyle, and they paid off. My other doctor(s) told me "Sorry, theres nothing you can do. Youve just got to wait it out." Were those guys kidding me? Within my first visit, Dr. T had already clued into what was wrong and how my habits were contributing to it. Results. (2) A few friends of mine joked last year that "uh oh, Chris is sick." They not-so-jestfully claimed that I would often catch a virus, let it fester, then intentionally enhance its virility to spread to everyone else. Needless to say, I had gained a reputation for getting sick, so much so as to be the butt of their jokes. Now, fast forward--I havent been sick in months. Trust me, Im way past due. Results. These were unintended results too, as I originally just visited this place for the disease I mentioned above! (3) I play on a few soccer teams. Last week, Godzilla showed up to play on the opposing team. Like a big slob he jumped up for a header (terrible header btw), and landed on my upper back. The next evening I dont remember sleeping. I do remember back pain. The doc was in the office on his day off, and kindly saw me even during non-work hours. He worked his magic (by this point, I still think its magic), and my pain instantly went down. The pain was truly unpleasant before--I couldnt breathe fully with ease. That was a Friday morning. What the doc does not know (but will soon find out), is that it is now just two days after his adjustments and I rode my bike 40 miles today. Doc--I know you told me to rest. But listen, its sunny out in Portland. Cut me some slack. Can I get an Amen? Results.

I was brought to Dr. Tony very early in march. I was just able to make it through the door, walking was a major challenge and very painful. Both of my hips were out of their sockets and my lower back was just sheer agony, and I was on very strong prescription painkillers. After my first visit I felt so amazing I cut down right away to levels I never thought possible. After my second visit I was completely off of them. My pain was very mild and very tolerable, I no longer needed a cane to walk, the process is not difficult or hard on you. This isnt a back popper or a one trick wonder. He has so many different methods available he isnt limited or constantly having to send you elsewhere for treatments as others do. I never walked into Mountain Spring Health without being greeted by Barbara and her great smile. Its wonderful being around people such as her and Dr. Tony, they care and that makes a world of difference. Dr. Tony listens to your concerns, and finds the cause and more importantly repairs it. He doesnt try to mask anything, he is not going to pump you full of drugs and send you on your way. He will, (with your cooperation and positive attitude) find the issue and find away to heal you. Everything is explained and no question is ever unwelcomed, Twenty eight days after I arrived in Portland I had my last visit to Dr. Tony I was sad to be leaving however, I was not sad about being able to run, about having no pain, about having been treated by Dr Tony and Barb. I can only give my best recommendations you will wish you went there sooner. I have had this issue for years and have never felt this great. Turns out living without pain is possible, I didnt know what I was missing. I honestly thought I would live with this for the rest of my life. I cannot thank you enough Dr. Tony, my friend.

Since my first visit with Dr. Tony about a year ago, the positive changes in my health have been dramatic: debilitating migraines are banished, I am 25 lbs lighter and stronger, bad habits have been dispelled, healthy habits have taken root as lifestyle changes, and my body is reviving itself to a level of fitness I have never before known. There has been real work involved, it has been a challenge to change. And while Dr. Tony will modestly redirect that Im the one doing all the work, it is only possible because of his extraordinarily huge heart, supportive guidance, in-depth knowledge of the bodys systems, and superb multi-disciplinary training as Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Applied Kinesiologist, and Chiropractor (all at one office in Portland, Oregon). My favorite part is when Ive been a rockstar at following Dr. Ts recommendations and it really shows at the next treatment and his enthusiasm for my improvements makes me know were a team. He celebrates your successes with such earnest and is able to empathetically troubleshoot challenges so adroitly that I understand how athletes love their really great coaches. They are able to call out the best that already resides in you, even when you dont think its there, he can see it and believes in you. Having that support has made all difference in finally getting changes Ive attempted in the past to become permanent lifestyle improvements. Thank you for everything you do Dr. Tony Murczek and co. !
