Whether you would like to learn the alternative and natural medicine secrets to prevent or reverse diabetes, sleep better, have more energy, lose weight safely and surely, or reverse other chronic conditions, such as: adrenal fatigue, menopause-related symptoms, digestive disorders, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hidden and delayed food allergies, or just want to feel better - let Dr. Dennis Godby, NMD, and his patient-first approach assist you on your pathway towards true healing.  
You can optimize your health, have a "new lease on life," and restore your energy, vitality and hope.

About Dr. Godby:

Hello, I am Dr. Dennis Godby, NMD. I grew up using conventional medicine, as many of you probably did. My mother was a Registered Nurse (RN), which afforded me the opportunity of hearing many amazing hospital stories. Over her 34 years of nursing she provided care for generations of families throughout the community. To this day, it is the stories of her compassionate care for the “whole” patient and their extended family that serve as an inspiration for my work in the field of medicine. Lean more

Testimonials:

"I’m in my early 80’s.  Forty years ago I had a double laminectomy in which cartilage was removed from my lower back and approximately three inches of my back was “soddered” which lessened my back’s mobility.  Subsequently, for forty years, I have experienced severe arthritis at the site.  Through the years I’ve tried acupuncture, chiropractic, pain pills and other treatments.  I’ve spent many years surviving on pain pills due to my lower back pain.  Within two weeks of changing my diet due to the results of food allergy/celiac testing from Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center, I realized I literally had no arthritis in my back.  This year I’ve planted and am maintaining a vegetable garden, a task that was previously very painful to do."
-Bill Schoening, Sacramento

"I'm feeling so much better for the first time in many years! My lungs are so much better that I can now walk 3 miles, even with pulmonary fibrosis. Two weeks ago, I could barely walk 1/4 mile. I'm improving for the first time. I have no bad side effects from Dr. Godby's medicine, and he is explaining what he is doing and why."
-Cora Ross, Railroad Flat, CA

"After carefully controlling my blood sugar over a period of several months, my numbers began to fluctuate wildly and were no longer under control. I was very worried. It was Dr. Godby who suggested that I have a certain blood test to see if I was actually a Type 1 diabetic, instead of a Type 2 diabetic as originally diagnosed by my primary care doctor. This blood test had never been performed by my primary care doctor to see if I was, in fact, a Type 2 diabetic. Sure enough, the test that Dr. Godby performed confirmed that I was a Type 1 diabetic and needed to take insulin.
After beginning an insulin regime, I am doing great now! My blood sugar levels are well under control. I often wonder, though, what kind of shape I would be in today if I had never been Dr. Godby’s patient. How much damage would have been done, how many complications would I have experienced, and how much worry would I have struggled through before somebody in conventional medicine finally figured out that something was wrong and ordered this inexpensive test?"
-Maureen Johnson, Sacramento

"Thanks Dr. Godby for helping my daughter to now have a healthy life!  As you remember, she was a very sick girl when we first brought her in, at age 6.  She had no energy; her skin was in horrible condition with eczema and other things.  She was scratching it all the time -  it about drove her and I crazy.  I was extremely worried about her and was getting sick.
She had been going to see other doctors for several years and they gave her creams, anitbiotics, lotions, etc., but it did no good.  When I came to see you, you did a food allergy test, and she had about 35-40 food allergies.  After fixing her leaky gut with supplements and a whole lot of things you did for her, she is now an extremely happy child, with a lot of energy.  She has absolutely no more skin problems and after repeating the food allergy test, and after helping her gut, she now has only two food allergies left!  I am so happy, and so is my family! "

A fake!! A quack!!!

by tkrus, Tuesday 23 of February, 2010 (15:20:51)

I am a 30 year old man who went to Dennis Godby to check for food allergies to resolve acne issues. All I wanted was the food allergy test.

 

Well, he swindled me into taking the $200 metabolic panel test (I just wanted a food allergy test for $20-30, but obviously he isn't going to make money on that alone). Then he tries to sell me his crappy vitamin D capsules at 5,000 IU per tab. I tell him that's above the RDA for Vitamin D and that I'm worried about toxicity, but he convinces me (more like "tricks me") into buying the vitamin D capsules. Since I'm a white male and work in a building, he assumed that my vitamin D levels were low. He didn't even bother to get my blood work done, he was CERTAIN that my vitamin D levels were low. So he tells me to take TWO capsules EVERY DAY. That's 10,000 IUs a day, way over the RDA of 400 IUs.

After about a couple of weeks of taking the vitamins, I started getting some dizziness at work. But I attributed this to stress, not the vitamins. After about a month of taking these two capsules every day according to HIS ADVICE, I woke up in the middle of the night with my head pulsating!! I could feel my heart beating so powerfully and it woke me up.

I was not able to get rid of this health problem. I STILL continued to take the Vitamin D for a week because I TRUSTED this bastard. I did not believe that someone who convinced me that he's never had a patient overdose on vitamin D and that it was very hard to overdose would be the reason for my health problems.

Unfortunately, vitamin D is fat soluble and doesn't get flushed out of your body the next day. Eventually I realized with my own research that vitamin D toxicity causes hyper tension (high blood pressure). I tested my BP: 150/100!!!!!! I NEVER in my life had such a high reading ever!!! I immediately quit the vitamin D, but because it stays in your fat, I had to put up with the high blood pressure for a LONG time.

Eventually after two weeks of the blood pressure never dropping, I resorted to desperate measures and underwent a water fast for 4 1/2 days. This caused the vitamin D in my fat to quickly get released into my blood stream and I was experiencing a BP reading of 170/110 one day!!! Well, after experiencing that peak, with the help of a lot of fiber (YES, Mr. Godby, WHEAT fiber!! ooh, bad gluten!) my blood pressure gradually declined. I also performed a lot of anaerobic exercises like weight lifting and high intensity interval training until my blood pressure dropped to a level of 135/70 within two weeks.

Finally I can sleep well, no more waking up in the middle of the night because my heart pumps so violently and not being able to fall asleep again. I was unable to catch more than 4 hours of sleep a night for a month until I did the fast.

This guy should be in jail. He has no medical license, yet he and his sycophantic staff call him "Doctor". What gaul!! Assuming a title that you need years and years of medical schooling plus residency and internships to earn.

This guy, Mr. Godby, should be in jail or hell.
