Head Injury, Poor digestion, Vision problems
“My life has been shaped by disability. I suffered from memory loss due to multiple head injuries. Since NCR treatments with Dr. Simonson, I am responding better to memory-enhancing herbs. I learned that head injuries can lead to poor digestion, and was so happily surprised when my NCR treatments with Dr. Simonson led to better digestion! My vision also improved - my eye-strain lessened and my prescription changed. NCR is so powerful. It can straighten out your skull, the house of your brain, which operates every function of your body. It can cause healing on every level.
Dr. Simonson is a kind-hearted and gentle, happy person. Her healing presence is a gift. I thank her for so much. I enjoy a stronger physiology, better eyesight, and a sharper mind, thanks to her work.”

A Lifetime of Physical Pain Relieved from NCR: Hope for a Better Future
Before coming to see Dr. Simonson, I was at wit’s end with the chronic symptoms I was experiencing in multiple forms. My life, before NCR, was about constantly managing different forms of pain and physical symptoms, which was ultimately taxing to my psyche and peace of mind. I had previously thought I was facing a lifetime of pain and degeneration, and thought I was doomed to get arthritis or spinal fusion. The entire right side of my body has been locked up all my life, and before NCR, nothing else worked to correct that and bring relief.
Even though I was seeing a highly reputable chiropractor in town, I did not get much lasting improvement in my structure or my symptoms. Though chiropractic did help correct a misalignment in my low back, which helped resolve symptoms of urinary tract discomfort, and may have prevented other symptoms from worsening, I still felt the progression hit a wall—especially structurally. I felt that there were not enough dimensions in that particular treatment. My chiropractor was recommending jaw surgery as the only solution to my jaw problem, and said there was nothing more he could do for me. I had reached the upper limit of what chiropractic could offer me.
The immediate changes I notice from my first few series of NCR is my overall well-being which is incrementally better than before, improving with each treatment series. I have more motivation to move and do things more than before. Other changes I’ve noticed is relief in my right shoulder from the pain caused by some kind of strain, as well as a continuous unwinding in my right hip area, which makes walking and standing easier. Because there are so many changes going on, as well as the number of issues I’ve had before, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what has changed. All I know is I feel an overall improvement.
Before NCR, I could not stand for long periods of time without my joints hurting, so I never liked cooking big meals. Recently I cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal without having to sit down or take breaks at all. After each NCR treatment series, I still feel movement in my head and experience spontaneous adjustments for a long time after. This is how I know that my body is so ready to receive and accept this form of treatment. My right hip area used to feel so locked up, and now it continues unwinding while I am falling asleep at night. I experience much less pain in my right hip now than before. I have searched long and hard for many years and have finally found something that works, and is continuing to work. I don't know what I would have done had I not discovered NCR!
I would say that for the first time in my life, I have felt relief in a way that I know it’s just the beginning of more to come, instead of feeling that a wall is going to be hit and I will have to search for a different method. After each series, I feel better in my body than I ever have before. It is a relief to know that I don’t have to keep searching for other methods. This form of treatment I know will just build and build until all the issues are addressed.
I most appreciate the individualistic care that is suited just to me. I feel that Dr. Simonson really listens and responds to my personal situation, and the care provided is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Her methods are always changing depending on feedback from her patients, and her constant learning keeps the practice on the edge and progression is made with interaction of new methods.
I really look forward to my life in the future, when my body is even closer to its original blueprint. For the first time, I have hope that this is possible, and I feel that it will just get better and better. Before, when more symptoms kept appearing, I felt my life would just get worse and worse. I would recommend NCR to anyone that is ready to experience more ease with their body, especially after all other methods have failed. I am thankful that there is something out there that gives people—especially in a desperate stage—hope for their future.

Meniere's Disease, Sinus Headaches, Military Spine, and Other Structural Problems
|
In 1969 I experienced the first of what led to a long series over the past 40 years or so of vertigo episodes. At first they came about every 18 months. The frequency has increased over the years, the severity of which has always varied. The length of an episode varied from 30 minutes to 12 hours and the recuperation from a couple hours to half a day or so.
At first there were no lingering symptoms but over time pressure in either or both ears remained, along with tinnitus, which included both ringing (sometimes in two pitches) and roaring, the volume of which varied based on the amount of pressure in the ear(s). The next phase brought increasingly bad general well-being, thus hampering my ability to function at work. I have lived with poor hearing, feeling lousy most of the time, lack of energy, noise in the ears and disequilibrium between bouts of vertigo. I would often feel like I was about to fall over but did not. I was gradually losing general stability. It was becoming harder and harder to do my job well and I was feeling like life was getting more and more laborious. I even considered going on disability. |
|
The severity of my condition seems to be strongly associated with the amount of pressure in one or both ears, especially the right one. Usually a spinner takes place when there is pressure in both or the right. However, if it is at a high enough level in the left only, the world may spin.
Episodes start in various circumstances and positions: sudden movement and sitting still or lying down or without any movement at all. I had many that started in the middle of sleep, waking up dizzy. I learned early on that sitting straight up instead lying down would decrease the severity of a spin and shorten its life. I bought a chair for this purpose aimed directly at the TV so I would have something to stare at to distract me from the dizziness. After developing this technique, I no longer would vomit during a spinner.
I sought an ENT in 1987 who diagnosed me with Meniere’s. He put me on a diuretic and off sodium. This “seemed” to help for a while but then failed to be of any aid. My next venture was acupuncture. I was then diagnosed as off-the-chart with Candida Albicans yeast. I was on the Candida diet for several years and experienced some relief for a season if I stayed on the diet very strictly, but then the diet did not seem to matter much. I had episodes during both of these treatment phases, and they were coming on more frequently. I was also feeling lousier and lousier, collapsing at the end of a workday.
Desperate, I started spending my non-dizzy time the summer of 2010 looking online for anything that might help. That led me to Dr. Deanna Simonson. She began NCR treatments in August of 2010. I did not see immediate results with my ear symptoms but after about the fifth series, things started to not only show up in structural changes but I started to feel better now and then. In addition to NCR, she also treated me with German Biological medicines, enzymes and dietary modifications.
I recall one NCR treatment when I experienced the first pop in my left ear. It did not last but it was a symbol of hope that we were on the right track finally. Photos demonstrated changes in my facial structure, the correction of a height differential in the shoulders, the correction of a rotation of my pelvis, and a better walk with less sideways movement and heavy stepping on the right side. I stopped having sinus headaches.
Sometime in June of 2011, I noticed one day that I was feeling better than I had in many months, perhaps years. I was having fewer days when I experienced a loss of energy now and then; I was able to work all day without feeling like I was dragging myself through every step. My stability is smoother, stronger, firmer, to the point of not thinking about it. I have lost that feeling of swimming in the head. I don’t feel like I am going to fall down. Even with some increase now and then of noise and pressure in either or both ears, the degree of disequilibrium that always accompanied those symptoms is not there much at all if at all. I was starting to feel like a normal human being again after many years of accepting my condition as terminal. Much to my relief, if I went off my diet, I did not suffer for weeks afterwards; instead I paid for it for a couple days and then got back to my new “normal.”
I wholeheartedly recommend NCR to anyone with a condition that has hung around a long time, that no other treatment has been able to deal with effectively, or that may involve general health issues because NCR treats the basics of physical well-being. “When in doubt, give it a try” is what I would say to anyone. It will not hurt anyone to go through the treatments and certainly in a fallen world none of us is perfect, so NCR might be termed the right thing for everyone.
Dr. Simonson is very professional and caring. She is the type of doctor that will research any condition to find a treatment. She answers all questions thoroughly either in person or via email, devoting her personal time to do so. She listens and tunes in to the patient and treats the whole person and not a condition in isolation. I never get the feeling that I am a Meniere’s patient; I am a person first and then someone with an ailment.

SUMMARY OF SYMPTOMS
BEFORE TREATMENT WITH DR. SIMONSON
- Ear pressure--for the past several years this has become a steady source of discomfort and the cause of dizzy episodes; it would never go away. The intensity of it often made me want to poke my ear with an icepick.
- Tinnitus and other ear noises--severe, continuous ringing; roaring that turned into a buzz that vibrated down into my jaw area and even caused a slight achiness there
- Poor hearing--deteriorated over the years; at its peak the noises made talking on the phone virtually impossible; loss of clarity
- Feeling of sand in the ears--when pressure is at its worst, moving my head around is rather uncomfortable and causes loss of balance
- Dysequilibrium--generally has been present for a few years now almost constantly, varying in degree
- Feeling of Falling--as pressure rises, it is as if anything could push me over
- Spinner episodes--past few years more episodes, sometimes clumping together until pressure subsides
- Sinus Headaches--occurring about once a week for the six months before NCR; aspirin did not diminish them; pain would spread throughout the head as the day went on
- Fatigue and feeling of being "wiped out"--hard to get through the day, no energy off and on
- Feeling "lousy"--ever-present sick feeling; must be what mononucleosis feels like
- Toenail fungus, peeling feet--feet were riddled with athlete’s foot, scaliness; toenails were yellowed and thick like hooves
- Structural problems:
- low back pain--pretty severe with knife-like pain at times; unable to do any lifting without eliciting a very painful back the next day
- right shoulder pain--could not throw; acted as if I slept on it wrong every night
- military spine--straight as an arrow
- overall instability--gait was heavy on the right side with each step; general feeling of floating now and then
- low back pain--pretty severe with knife-like pain at times; unable to do any lifting without eliciting a very painful back the next day
AFTER ONE YEAR OF TREATMENT WITH DR. SIMONSON
- Ear pressure--stays at a lower level consistently this past month
- Tinnitus and other ear noises--follows the pressure so there is currently less noise but it is still there but less noticeable
- Poor hearing--I gained some clarity a couple months ago that has remained with me
- Feeling of sand in the ears--pressure is low enough that this sensation is gone now
- Dysequilibrium--pressure is low enough that this symptom is very slight now
- Feeling of Falling--I have not had this feeling for a while
- Spinner episodes--none for the past 6-8 months
- Sinus Headaches--have not had but one in the past 6-8 months
- Fatigue and feeling of being "wiped out"--gradually disappeared over the past month; now this is the exception rather than the rule; some days there are none
- Feeling "lousy"--have not felt this way for at least a week
- Toenail fungus, peeling feet--feet are smooth, no peeling; toenails are growing in clear
- Structural problems:
- low back pain--much less though still somewhat sore; not as restrictive
- right shoulder pain--can throw much better without much pain
- military spine--natural curve is returning
- overall instability--feel solid walking, moving, working; surprise movements don’t cause feeling of falling like they used to
