I am writing for the sake of testimonial. After three years of constant pain (sometimes to the point of not being able to walk), fatigue, and MANY other symptoms.....I finally got diagnosed with Systemic Lupus with secondary Fibromyalgia and Costochondritis.

After numerous medications I just kept getting worse. At the time I was only 18 and felt like I was 80. I finally gave up on modern medicine and found Dr. Locke in December 2000. Within a month or two through a diet change, herbs, and vitamins, I had NO symptoms. My blood tests came up normal (the first time since I'd had any blood work done) and I felt great. Unfortunately we had to move out of state and life has it's way of keeping us busy, so I haven't been able to continue seeing her, but I continue with what she taught me and I am coming up on 3 years in remission! Now my fiance (who also saw her) is talking about going to get a degree in Chiropractic as well as holistic/homeopathy treatments. Thanks Doctor Locke, you changed my life...literally!

From Carol D.

In February 1988 I was diagnosed with a rare blood disease known as TTP (Thrombotic Cytopenia Purpura). It is caused by exposure to toxic chemicals. The small town my husband and I decided to raise our children in was exposed to a toxic waste dump (in northern Santa Barbara County, California). In December 1989 my spleen was removed in an effort to control my platelets. It worked for a short time. In 1991 we moved to a small town in Northern California and for 3 years my illness was in remission. For the next 3 years until 1999 I was having my blood drawn every few weeks and taking lots of steroids. I was told that this was all that they could do for me. This was very hard on us; it caused me to live from day to day.

That's the way it is when the medical community tells you that you are terminal and don't worry just live each day to the fullest. Just before Easter 1999, a friend asked if she could come and visit, and could she bring a doctor who was interested in my case? I said of course, what did I have to lose. My friend brought Dr. Locke for the weekend. We talked and talked. She said she thought she could help if I could commit to a few changes in life style. Needless to say, I did.

I began protocols that were designed to detox my liver and bowel, a diet specific to my needs and Homeopathic remedies for a cellular detox. Dr. Locke also included supplements to help with some deficiencies I had and a good multiple vitamin and mineral as a preventative measure and a good di-gestive enzyme to make sure the food I was eating was being digested properly. My blood tests began to improve to the point that my doctor took me off of my medications and said to keep doing what ever it was because it seemed to be working.

It's been almost one year since I began working with Dr. Locke. The change it has made is unbelievable. First of all I took my last dose of steroids in June 1999. Since then I have lost 30 pounds, I sleep better, feel much better, the hot weather is much more tolerable, and my blood tests are better for the first time in 12 years I don't have to see the hematologist for 6months. If that doesn't make you feel better I don't know what will. First and foremost we want to thank God for all His wonderful gifts.

We want to thank Dr. Locke for helping me help myself and we want to thank our friend for bringing her to us.

Thank you Dr. Locke for being there for us.

Dear Dr. Locke:

Before your detox program, as you know, I had many problems. I was chronically fatigued. I suffered from low blood sugar and I ate constantly. I would become nauseous, dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out until I ate something again! I was a prisoner to food, the wrong kinds of foods, and way too many carbs! I had terrible lung problems. If I do not use nasal sprays and inhalers on a daily basis, I developed bronchitis in 3-5 days. Each episode would robe me of three weeks of my life. My medical doctors were not at all concerned about what caused these episodes. As long as the inhalers prevented illness, the doctors felt there was not a problem. Deep down I know I must be abusing my body but I did not know what was wrong. At age 35, I did not look forward to growing older if this was how I felt now. I could not image how aging would contribute to my current condition.

I just completed your health assessment again and I am amazed by how well I feel and by what the detox has cured! I am no longer a prisoner to food. I actually forget to eat! I am without low blood sugar signs, I have lost 20 pounds and I am completely drug free now!! I do not recall ever feeling this well! This spring was such a beautiful time! I spent time outside smelling the grass and all the fresh flowers. I did not realize how much I missed the outside world!

I cannot thank you enough for what you give to others-The gift of a new life!

To Whom It May Concern:

I’m writing this letter as a way of saying thank you to Dr. Locke for all she’s done for me in treating my Hepatitis C, as well as the Chiropractic work you’ve been doing in conjunction with the Homeopathic Medicine and Nutritional Therapies.

When I came to you late April of 1996 I was looking for an alternative to Western Medicine for the treatment of my Hepatitis. My blood work was very poor and the only way I was told I could change it, if at all, was to do the drugs that the MD’s wanted to prescribe. Well I’d done that and it was debilitating and painful, it’s like that saying "the cure was worse then the disease". With that in mind I decided to check around and in talking with Dr. Locke she said she would be willing to help and so we went to work. After three months I had blood work done and there was a change, a small one but Dr. Locke assured me that any change for the better is great so we continued. Everything was going well until I did a new test, that was recommended by my MD, to check for the RNA identifier for the virus, and it showed I still had it. (Which I’ve learned since that the test will always be positive because my system has the antibody to the virus.)

I decided to do the interferon and the nutritional program together because I was still a little fear driven. This time the symptoms from the medication were enormously reduced, in fact I never had to miss any of my work days due to the treatments, as I had done before. The Chiropractic treatments were also helping me feel comfortable and pain free. My Blood tests continue to change for the better and I’m so grateful that I didn’t have any of the usual side effects as before.

Thank you for all your help and support in my decision to do both, and you abilities as a true Holistic Practitioner.

Dear Dr. Locke

I am writing to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and to let you know what my experience has been in the past and now.

I had experienced the medical community as being extremely dishonest in their approach to treating me because of the half truths I had been given over the years, and I had decided that for me this was a form of abuse, lying by omission is not my idea of a true health care practitioners approach to someone’s state of well being. What has happened to that part in the Hippocratic oath when they pledge to First do no harm?

Seeking someone who would assist me in getting to and maintaining my own health was the goal I was trying to achieve along with education about my own body and why it was the way it was. I called you to ask for a referral to a doctor who could give me a physical examination (after not having one in fifteen years), and you said that you could do that for me.

I came to your office for the examination and at first I couldn’t figure out what you were doing poking around a little here and there and then stating to me that you found that it was my gallbladder that was the problem, of course I was skeptical at first, but then you told me what the associated symptoms were, of which I had not told you about any of this, and you described exactly what I was experiencing.

Well needless to say the information was so profound I knew I had found my partner in the quest for my health program.

Thanks again Dr. Locke, from the bottom of my heart, for being my health care practitioner.

P.S. It is April of ‘99, and I’m adding this post script because for the first time since I’ve been working with you on my Rheumatoid Arthritis, I was unable to tell any change in the barometric pressure from this last weather front. For years now I’ve been extremely sensitive to the changes in the weather, these were very painful for me and you kept encouraging me to continue on with what we were doing, and I did. Today I am not able to tell if the barometer has changed which means, not only am I symptom free, I am also pain free, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful.

Thank you Dr. Locke.

I had been diagnosed in 1994 with Meniere’s Syndrome, which is an inner ear disease. It started with dizziness, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) which gradually progressed to the point that several specialist’s decided that I should apply for Social Security Disability, as I was unable to work. The medical doctors’ that diagnosed me had given me valium, antivert and compazine-the side effects were almost as bad as the symptoms. And all the drugs were doing was masking the symptoms. My life was miserable and I did not know where to turn.

Then a co-worker at the District Attorney’s office told me about a friend of hers that had gone to see Dr. Locke. I made an appointment and went to Dr. Locke’s office for a consultation. She put me on a special diet, gave me nutritional supplements and used homeopathic remedies.

After just a few weeks I was able to go back to work part-time. After 2 months, I was back at work full time! It has now been approximately 2 years since I first saw DR. Locke, and I have been symptom free for quite some time now-she truly gave me my life back!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Locke to anyone!

In early 1997 I was picking up a rather heavy box loaded with books when I was bitten by a small spider(non-poisonous) up by my right shoulder. The sting of the bite caused me to flinch with the heavy load in my arms. Within a few minutes I began to feel my arm swell and it began to turn red from my shoulder down to my finger tips.

I waited a few days before going to see a doctor about the problem hoping it was just a temporary situation. After a week I decided to see a doctor. The doctor immediately sent me for ultra-sound and x-rays. Neither the ultra-sound nor the x-rays turned up any major problems(they suspected blood clots). Now, even though they did not find anything they wanted to prescribe blood thinning drugs and if no change was noticed in a few days consider one of a couple "internal explorations".

This upset me. Number one they had no clue what was wrong but they wanted to give me drugs for it! I had heard about Dr. Locke from a friend that was getting regular chiropractic treatments from her. He told me that Dr. Locke also practiced alternative healing methods. So I gave her a call.

After my first visit she was able to determine that the two tendons that run over the front of my shoulder and under my arm pit had slipped out of their channels. The swelling was causing the reduced blood flow. She put these back into place and immediately I began to feel the blood flow increase in my arm. It took several months of treatments to keep the tendons in their place but it WORKED! I did not have to take any drugs and did not have to have any "internal explorations".

Thank you Dr. Locke!

From the Dr. herself.


In 1972 I contracted a rare virus in my blood and was told by the medical community that there was nothing they could do to help me with the episodic illnesses as well as the depression and constant weight gain. I was left with having to look into alternative forms of treatment. I began my own program of diet, exercise and nutrition after all I had nothing to loose at that point and everything to gain (health wise).

I noticed that within 6 months my health had improved so dramatically I was driven to study and read about nutrition and the effects it could have on the physiology of the body as well as the emotional stability of the mind. Sharing this information with others was my goal in life, and to my added frustration I found that the knowledge was not enough, I needed the degree to go with it to back up what I already knew.

Being a single parent at the time, and on welfare how was I going to get to school and take care of my daughter and work. A set of circumstances took place in my life that did enable me to go to school and after 9 years of hard work emerged with a doctorate in Chiropractic.

After being in practice a short time I realized that to truly be a holistic healer my patients needed more then just Chiropractic treatments in order to heal completely. Other modalities like Homeopathy, when needed, and Nutrition to give the body the tools needed for repair, along with the emotional healing necessary to allow the acceptance of the physical and nutritional therapies was the best way to give my patients a complete program to choose from.
