When I re-read the following note I wrote about Dr. Cheryl Sly, I
thought it could not possibly be true, but joyfully it is!  I am no longer obese, diabetic, or in chronic pain!  Through "baby steps", Dr. Sly guided me from 315 pound in July, 2009, to my present 210.  Patiently, she taught me about the healing benefits of whole foods.  She counseled me on nutrition, life style choices, and my self image.  She motivated me to start moving, then walking, then to the gym, then hiking, and now running, weight training and yoga.

I now have boundless energy.  I no longer need diabetes medication
because I no longer am diabetic!  My stress test has returned to normal and my cardiologist congratulated me on reversing heart disease!  A serious accident years ago left me with chronic pain.  My chronic pain is now 85% gone thanks to Dr. Sly's knowledge and practice of acupuncture.  She gently encouraged me to achieve optimal health, always saying just the right things to build my confidence to stick with my healthy new lifestyle.  When I backpedaled, she always was there for me without being judgmental.  Dr. Sly helped me understand that for decades, I had been stuffing my emotions with food and helped me explore how obesity was keeping me from fully enjoying my family, myself, and my life.  I was fortunate to have become a patient of Dr. Cheryl Sly.  Making that first appointment with her is one of the highlights of my life, and a day that I will always cherish.

Cheryl (or Dr. Sly) is truly interested in treating the whole person. We work on diet, sleep issues, stress reduction, hormone regulation, and self esteem—among other things. She has helped me become a more positive and healthier, calmer person. Cheryl really knows her "stuff" and is also a gifted counselor who helped me deal with emotional issues that were causing anxiety and holding me back from living an enjoyable, more productive life.

Dr. Sly,
 
Your recommended lifestyle changes have helped put my on the path of eliminating blood pressure medicine.  Since meeting with you and following your directions, my blood pressure has dropped 10 to 15 points and I have eliminated one of two medications that I was taking for my blood pressure.  Thank You!!

6 mo later.  There is now 65lbs less of me, I have dropped all pain meds, my arthritis is much less of a problem, I have really controlled my blood sugar with out meds.  My 24-7 hand and back pain has totally left 2 of my 3 fingers and most of my hand/back.  I am more alert and positive and appreciative of my life and Dr. Sly's counseling.  She has now treated other family members and has helped my family deal with serious problems.  I have weaned myself from caffeine, sugar, aspartame, starchy carbs and animal fat.  I no longer support fast food restaurants. I know why green leafy veggies contribute so much to my lifestyle changes.  Dr. Sly has introduced me to so many healthy ways, all by baby steps, never by intimidation.  Her fees are most reasonable.  She has a beautiful office, a winning smile, and boundless enthusiasm for teaching optimal health.

I came to Dr. Cheryl Sly in complete frustration. For 13 years I had dealt with "episodes" of near passing out and going blind in one eye. I was told by numerous doctors that I was a "reactive hypoglycemic" and I had to control my blood sugar with specific food every three hours. My episodes started happening more frequently and gave me horrible anxiety about going anywhere in fear that it would occur. I knew it was time to seek an alternative route which lead me to Dr. Sly. The moment I entered her office I knew I was where I needed to be. Dr. Sly has an incredibly calming demeanor and was genuinely interested in hearing my story. What I loved about her. verses other medical doctors, was that she wasn't looking to treat my symptoms but took information from childhood on to treat me as a "whole" person and find out what the "cause" was.
After undergoing a food sensitivity test and eliminating specific foods I felt amazing. I no longer have the constant sinus pressure and have not had an "episode" since seeing her. I couldn't be more grateful to Dr. Sly for what she has given back to me. I am happier, healthier, and have so much more confidence to enjoy life!

Six weeks ago, I had "permanent" constant pain in my left hand, radiculopathy following trauma to vertebra level C-7/T-1, and surgery four years ago.  Today, Thanks to Dr. Cheryl Sly and acupuncture, I have two thirds less hand pain, half less intermittent back pain, much more strength, and dexterity!
I also have greater energy, better concentration, more positive outlook, and am twenty-five pounds smaller after nutritional counseling.  Arthritis pain is significantly less.  As a recently diagnosed diabetic, I notice my blood sugars are improving on less medicine.  She introduced me to a healthier diet, eliminating empty calories, emphasizing the healing benefits of whole foods.

Over the last several years, I have experienced pain due to arthritis, bursitis, pinched nerves and leg cramps.  The pain and overall discomfort kept me from living the active, happy life I once experienced.   Dr. Sly treated me with acupuncture, natural supplements and nutrient IV therapy, and counseled me on the benefits of a healthy diet, without the need of  prescription drugs.   I again enjoy the fulfilling life I once had.

I was very impressed with Dr. Sly’s ability to merge cutting edge research and technology with ancient non invasive practices, to treat my physical training and sports injuries.  Dr. Sly confidently guided me while referencing  her own personal experience – and that is what mattered to me most!   DJK - Arizona

 

 

For me, Dr. Cheryl Sly had the magic combination—natural ways to deal with my allergies and hormones, acupuncture to slow me down and reduce anxiety, and a special ability to counsel, which helped me get "unstuck" in my life and deal with the issues that were causing so much turmoil. Thanks, Cheryl!

I came to Dr. Sly after I herniated a disc in my back.  The pain made day to day living very uncomfortable.  At first I was going to a chiropractor but I was unable to get back the comfort level I desired.  I was willing to try anything and I am happy I found Dr. Sly.  She is informative, caring and willing to listen to your concerns.  She has many tools that allows her to find the right answer for your body.  I personally had acupuncture, prolo therapy and cupping done to help alleviate my pain.  She also had other things to offer to help “reset” my body and alleviate the pain.  I am thankful for Dr. Sly’s treatment and I would recommend it to anyone experiencing back pain or any kind of pain!

I had a severe case of Valley Fever.  Dr. Sly was a major factor in my care and recovery.  I am 75 years old and have been working with Dr. Sly on a nutrition and exercise program.  I feel 10 to 15 years younger without the need for prescription drugs.

She is a great counselor and helped me get through a very difficult time in my life.  Dr. Sly motivated me to pursue my goals and dreams.  She helped me believe in myself.  My cravings went away with the acupuncture!
