"I have had heartburn for years, but recently it had gotten so bad I had to see a gastroenterologist. He discovered that I had Barrett's esophagus and told me I absolutely had to take medication for it. But he didn't tell me what to do with my diet. I was so surprised and frightened by this diagnosis. I read a bunch of different things, but there was so much differing information I didn't know what to do. Then I spoke with Dr. Link. She gave me clear advice about which foods are alkaline and which are acidic. I felt calmer immediately. The best part was that although she thought I could likely heal without medication, she didn't make me feel badly for deciding to take it. Even after following the diet for only a few weeks I feel better than I ever have and my heartburn is completely gone. For anyone with heartburn or any other chronic health problem, I can't recommend Dr. Link highly enough!"

Chronic illness
"I have been a patient of Dr. Lilli Link for several years, during which time I have been dealing with a serious diagnosis. Dr. Link has been a very important part of my healthcare team. She has helped me with nutrition and diet; she truly embodies Hippocrates’ adage: ‘Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine’. She is tremendously knowledgeable in the field, and also has shown herself to be sophisticated and wise in dealing with the complexities and subtleties surrounding diet and food issues. She is inspiring and also very practical – helping me make changes in my diet that really work for me – in my real day to day life. Her counsel has been extremely valuable.
"I also feel a debt of gratitude to her for helping me in sorting through information and treatment options. She has an excellent analytical mind. She has been extremely supportive, and a great advocate (rare qualities for a doctor in today’s medical environment). I am very grateful and feel very fortunate to have her on my team. I am highly enthusiastic in referring just about everyone I know to Dr. Link’s practice."

Immune deficiency and multiple infections
"Dr. Lilli Link has been invaluable in addressing my son's health issues when the more traditional medical model was unsuccessful in restoring his health. My twenty year old son was suffering from multiple infections for which he was treated only with antibiotics. It was clear that his immune system was weak, and each short recovery was followed by yet another infection. Dr. Link not only diagnosed what was later confirmed to be an immune deficiency, but her program of a very specific diet and supplements restored his energy and has allowed him to maintain a healthy lifestyle, free from recurring infections and ill health."

Joint pain
"I first came to Dr. Link because
my blood test showed a high blood sugar, and I was afraid I was headed toward
type 2 diabetes. Also I sensed that my diet and my mild arthritis were somehow
connected. I knew I needed to better understand how my diet and these symptons
might be related. Dr. Link turned on the 'light' for me in convincing me how my
diet needed to change, and I resisted because I thought I ate pretty well! I
was reluctant at first, not liking the idea of giving up dairy! After finally
changing my diet, not only did I lose that extra 10 pounds sitting on my
middle(!), I felt incredibly different - stronger and more invigorated-- and I
already had a high energy level!! My dietary
changes are still going really well, and Dr. Link was the catalyst! The
almonds, water and elimination of cheese, yogurt and almost all dairy is really
working. I feel fantastic!! Thank you!"
