What
Clients Say About Carmela Mager...
 Testimonial
from Lisa, age 54
I first saw Carmela after receiving
years of therapy for the treatment of
post-traumatic stress disorder.
Emotionally, I was making good progress,
but physically, the trauma was held as a
constant fearful knot in my abdomen.
After a session with Carmela, I could
feel the release of fear held for so
long in my body. It was like a
tremendous surge of negative energy I no
longer needed to hold onto. Carmela has
played a large part in my healing
process.
Testimonial
from Claudia, age 21
When I discovered I was
allergic to 30
out of the 100 foods I was tested for,
including such random things as coffee,
wheat, yeast, and artichokes, I knew it
was time to try something different.
When I was 2 years old, we had to give
away our dog because we found out that I
was allergic. It was either me or the
dog, and thankfully my parents chose me.
At age 21, I am allergic to all animals
with fur or feathers (dogs, cats,
hamsters, birds, monkeys); all inside
allergens including mold, dust, and
mites; all outside allergens including
trees, grasses, and flowers; the
preservatives in normal contacts and
contact solutions; and generally the
ingredients that make things like chapstick and laundry detergent smell
nice. I’m probably allergic to a dozen
other things that I have forgotten to
mention or haven’t discovered yet. I
also have asthma. All of these problems
affected my skin, my breathing, and my
overall health. My allergies and asthma
were bad as a child and then I got
better as I grew older. When I went to
college, unfortunately, they resurfaced
again worse than ever. Sinus infections,
headaches, constantly congested, I was
getting sick all of the time. My immune
system was down and I even managed to
get whooping cough. I tried to get my
allergies under control, but by the
beginning of junior year, I was still
having problems.
A friend of mine recommended that I take
a look at Eastern Medicine, specifically
NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination
Techniques) because it completely cured
her dog’s allergies to food and the
environment. I have to admit, I was
slightly skeptical but I figured that if
it worked with her dog, it might work
for me. My mom and I looked for and
found Carmela Mager in Chapel Hill and
set up an appointment. Ever since then,
I have been going to Carmela’s once a
week while I have been at Duke.
Treatment for my allergies and asthma
was not just NAET, but also a
combination of acupuncture and herbs.
Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture
doesn’t hurt. My sessions with Carmela
were actually the most relaxing time
during the busy life of a Duke engineer.
Most of the time, I barely felt the
acupuncture needles, but sometimes they
tickled and I would laugh out loud.
After all of the needles were in, I got
to lie on the acupuncture table and rest
for a half an hour before turning over
and having needles put in my back. It
was a great system…I got treated and
managed to get a nap in while I was at
it.
The first time I met with Carmela, she
took time to communicate with my body
and see what was going on inside. One of
the first things she asked was whether
or not my mother had gone through a
trauma or a period of intense sadness
while she was pregnant with me as that
can sometimes be a factor in the child
having allergies. I told her no, but
when I talked to my mom later, she told
me that she had indeed been very upset
when her grandmother died and she
couldn’t go to the funeral because she
was pregnant with me. Things like that
amazed me about my appointments with
Carmela. She could tell me what was
hurting me, like my sinuses for example,
and after an acupuncture treatment, the
pain would be gone. And after a year and
a half of treatment, I can see a huge
difference in my allergies and asthma.
For the first time since age two, I am
not on any sort of pills or medicine,
Eastern or Western. Sometimes if the
pollen is really bad or I am getting a
cold, a few symptoms will return, but
nothing like it used to be and always
treatable by a few days of herbs. It’s
nice to be a normal person.
“I
came to Carmela in such pain I could
hardly walk from my parked car into the
grocery store. My doctor was giving me
Cortisone shots for the pain. I would
plan my outings to walk as few steps as
possible because the foot and leg pain
were so acute. Carmela diagnosed the
body system connections that needed
balancing. Through acupuncture and
specific diet changes to rebalance the
body, I have now successfully spent two
weeks in Europe on a walking tour.”
"When I began seeing Carmela almost one year
ago, I suffered from intense fatigue that
was worsened by excessive sugar consumption.
I took 3-4 hour naps every single day, and
suffered from muscle pains, strains,
dizziness, and headaches. My adrenal system
was so deficient that I had lost all of the
hair on one eyebrow. I was only 28 years
old! Prior to working with Carmela, I
attempted to alleviate my
symptoms —but to no avail—by seeing medical
doctors
(who could find nothing wrong with me), a
chiropractor, a kinesiologist, and a
nutritionist.
After working with Carmela and receiving
regular
acupuncture and NAET treatments and taking
the
supplements she recommends, I feel like a
new person. I almost never nap, and my sugar
consumption has been
lessened by about 95%. Because I have more
energy, I am motivated to eat better and to
work out, and as a result, have lost a good
15 pounds.
Carmela’s treatments help me deal with
stress and
anxiety, sleeplessness, sugar cravings, and
any other
concerns that creep up for me from week to
week. I
would highly recommend Carmela to anyone who
has any
sort of discomfort in his/her life. Her
experience and
listening skills are without parallel, and
she has
helped me immensely when no one else could!"
- Kate, Durham
“Carmela
is helping me not to hate myself so much
inside.”
“We had been told we were infertile and that
nothing could be done. Carmela found and
treated a yeast infection that was blocking
my system. Six months later we conceived,
and are now holding our beautiful baby boy.”
“Without you, I wouldn’t be alive today.
I was so depressed last year I was suicidal,
and no medicines could help me for very
long. You saved my life, physically and
emotionally.”
“My husband had
back pain
that nothing would cure. He tried doctors,
drugs, and drinking.. He’d been out of work
a week, flat on his back. I literally
dragged him to Carmela, and in 3 treatments
he was totally cured!
To our amazement, Carmela also found the
source of his back pain that no other doctor
had diagnosed, told him how to stop it, and
he’s never had a back problem again. “
“I’d spent years working on my emotional
health: reading, seeing therapists
periodically, you name it. But at some
point you realize that you cannot
intellectually fix a deeply rooted
emotional problem. Carmela helped me
identify and release, sadness, anger,
and fears that were trapped at my
cellular level.
It was like 3 years of therapy rolled
into each session, because the results
were so dramatic. I’ve now forgiven
those I was angry with, including
myself, and have made radical changes in
my life for the better. I sold the Self
Help books. Thank you Carmela.”
“I live in California, and I’ve them
all. We specialize in “alternative” here
in California. Carmela is the best I’ve
ever seen or experienced. I fly across
country just to get a session with her.”
“I had some pain, and an infection, and
the doctor gave me antibiotics. It
treated the infection, but the pain
remains. They are just treating the
symptom, not the problem. Carmela made
it possible for me to eliminate the
problem and and now I’m totally off the
5 allergy medicines I had been taking
for years. I feel alive again.”
“For
an entire year, I had been seeing doctors
for various symptoms. The doctors diagnosed
me with plantar fasciitis, a type of chronic heel pain,
but no amount of drugs would make the
problem go away.”
Carmela properly identified that it
wasn’t an isolated foot problem, for
which the doctors wanted to perform
surgery. It was Parkinson’s Disease.
More testing later confirmed that
Carmela’s diagnosis was accurate, and
now I am receiving proper care from
Carmela and from my physician, and
feeling much better.”
I have
suffered from allergies for many
years which mainly affected breathing and
produced cold-like symptoms year round but
especially in the fall and somewhat in the
spring. I have had allergy shots for more
than two decades but 10 years apart. While
shots were effective for about 10 years, but
eventually they began to be less effective.
Prescription medication was so drying that I
felt miserable with it as well as foggy
headed.
Through a combination of acupuncture and
Chinese herbs, my allergies are so much
better. When I was tested a year ago, I
showed no reaction to mold, pollen, etc. The
process was slow, but gradually I got better
and learned that some of my problems were
due to diet. In the spring and fall I see
Carmela more often and rely on herbs as I
need them.
I generally feel great. Not only are my
allergies improved, but my digestion is
better than it has ever been as is my
sleep." -
Laura, Chapel Hill
I have had
plantar fasciitis for 7 years.
During that time I have tried many different
treatments. Most of the time I was able to
function but I always had to restrict my
activity based on the amount of walking I
was able to do. When I first went to
Carmela, I was in severe pain and the
orthopedists had exhausted all of his
conservative treatment options, which
provided no relief. He suggested surgery.
A friend told me about the wonderful things
Carmela had done for her. After my first
visit with Carmela, my foot pain was less.
After 6 months I was totally free of foot
pain. She is now treating my allergies and
asthma. I have been able to reduce my
medications and have many fewer incidences
of breathing difficulty.
short version: I have had to modify my
activity for 7 years due to plantar
fasciitis. After my first visit with
Carmela, my foot pain was less. After 6
months, I was totally free of foot pain for
the first time in years. -
