12 year old girl with past trauma, aggression/violence, mood disorder, depression and vaccine injury.

Christie is an attuned, empathetic and reliable practitioner. I was blown away by her ability to listen to our complex case with such presence and take it in without oversimplifying it, and weave together so many layers. She is so supportive in her communication and follow-up. I have worked with very few, if any, healthcare practitioners who are as thorough and supportive as Christie. I appreciate how she sends an email with the prescription summary as well as brief explanations of the remedies chosen - I am not used to receiving such comprehensive care but I can say that it makes a huge difference. I cried when I received her first follow-up email. My child has made incredible progress under her care and I am incredibly grateful. Thank you, Christie, for doing the work you are meant to do! And for your kindness and excellent care.

HPV vaccine injured teenage boy with life threatening gastroparesis

2 years ago my 16 year old son, Lucas got his second HPV vaccine. Within hours he started vomiting. He hasn’t stopped. He hasn’t been able to digest food the entire 2 years. He throws up 8 to 10 times a day. He has lost over 50 pounds. 

We saw multiple doctors in several specialties. We ran every lab, did every test, and tried every treatment they suggested. Lucas never responded to anything. He just got sicker and sicker. I begged for something, anything. I felt like he was dying. They said yes, he is. It is terminal. He is starving to death. The protein iv treatments will only sustain him for so long. 

About 3 month ago my son woke up gasping for breath. He had been throwing up in his sleep. He was too weak to even wake up during the vomiting. His throat swelled from the stress of the vomiting. I called the paramedics and he was unconscious by the time they arrived, by the time we got to the hospital he was in cardiac arrest. After they got him stable the doctor told me this will continue to happen until we can not make him stable anymore. His body is dying like a bulemic’s body dies. I was told to take him home, make him comfortable and prepare his brothers. 

My friend gave me the number of a homeopath who specialized in vaccine injury, We started a couple days later. Within a few hours of taking the first remedy Lucas was sitting up, something he hadn’t done in weeks. By the next morning he was sitting in his gaming chair playing xbox AND talking to his friends. By the end of that week he came downstairs and spent a little time talking with us and could keep water down. His voice started to sound stronger, less raspy. 2 weeks in, he wanted to go for a drive with his brother. A month in he tells me he goes almost the whole day without pain and can keep smoothies down. He's getting nutrients again. After 3 months, his hair is shiny and thick and he hangs out with friends. He went bowling. He’s talking about the future again. Maybe getting his license. 

Homeopath saved his life. Not his quality of life. His actual life. I had so many doctors tell me there was nothing they could do. I tried everything traditional medicine offered him. Without homeopathy medicine I would be burying my son right now.

Teenage boy with ASD, PANS, Bartonella, rage and destructive behavior

After having tried 6 homeopathic practitioners all over the United States for my child, I was lucky enough to find Christie Biesold. My son is a challenging case because he is in the mist of puberty, autism, PANDAS/PANS and Lyme/Bartonella disease. My son has benefited during our treatment with Christie and so has our home and family. He has gone from the most severe, aggressive and destructive behaviors to becoming a calm, functional boy that has hope for a much brighter future. He has made progress in reducing his OCD, rituals, aggression and destruction. He has improved his language, speech, self-help skills, life skills and compliance. Christie is the most compassionate, well rounded, committed and holistic homeopathic practitioner we have worked with by far. I’m grateful we have hope for a brighter future for our family and child thanks to Christie!

11 year boy with panic attacks and periodic fever syndrome

My son got strep 5 times in a single year.  After that, he would get random fevers of 102-103.  They wouldn’t last more than a day, but they caused him to miss so much school and me so much work!  His doctors were unable to explain this and diagnosed him with periodic fever syndrome, a diagnosis as helpful as a doctor telling you you have detamitis in my opinion.  Along with the random fevers came almost daily stomach aches and bedtime panic attacks that would set in unexpectedly.  This went on for years.  We did all sorts of diagnostic testing and took him to a psychologist for years, all without effect.  Then, Christie took on his case.  She first started by addressing the panic attacks.  After a detailed consultation, Christie determined a constitutional remedy for my son.  I was amazed how quickly the panic attacks faded into the background.  Now months go by without what had become almost a nightly ordeal.  Along with the panic attacks, the fevers have also disappeared.  Currently, we are almost finished with a systemic detox for strep.  At first I didn't notice much, but then I realized that the daily complaints of a tummy ache upon waking weren’t happening as routinely, he had more resilience and was less likely to lose it when things didn’t go as planned.  His body was in a less defensive state, so his mental and emotional state followed suit.  Christie regularly checks in to see how things are going and find out if there is anything that we need to tweak.  What my son’s pediatrician told me was just the way it was and that we just needed to manage, we no longer need to manage, because with Christie’s care, they are no longer issues.

Teenage girl with suppressed period and anxiety

If you are looking into what homeopathy is all about and how it may be right for you, look no further. Christie has been the perfect guide into this new realm of approaching overall health and well-being through homeopathy.  Not only have I seen first-hand the depths she has gone to help her own child recover and heal successfully, she has helped my own daughter too. Through thorough and thoughtful interviews Christie was able to come up with ideas to help. My athletic teenage daughter had inexplicably lost her period for over 6 months while at the same time developing some never experienced before bouts of fleeting anxiety and unusual moodiness. Since all of my daughters symptoms could be sort of explained away as within a “normal” spectrum of teen behavior, including the anxiety and growing moodiness, the Allopathic recommendation was oral contraceptives and artificial hormones to induce menstruation. That was it. No curiosity about “why”, only one size fits all *treatment* option given, no follow up offered. This approach felt (uncaring and) scientifically outdated to me, especially given my changed philosophy about what is “good” and “bad” for our bodies. 

Christie’s contemporary approach to homeopathy incorporated everything I was looking for: individualized attention, thoughtful and un-rushed conversations, and best of all: a plan that felt right. Within just a handful of weeks under Christie’s guidance, my daughter’s period returned and her anxiety lessened and then ultimately disappeared. The best measure of success though? She has maintained cycle regularity now for almost as long as it was gone! I involve Christie in most all of our healthcare conversations and are transitioning more and more to the first stop in our tool kit involving homeopathy. You’ll never be sorry to start a conversation with Christie, that much is certain. Good luck and good health

Teenage girl with ASD

My daughter is a quirky kid; she always has been.  She was diagnosed with autism shortly before her 3rd birthday.  We immediately started an intense intervention program utilizing ABA, OT, and speech therapy.  This early intervention was life changing for her.  It gave her the tools she needed to engage with the world and the explicit instruction about how to do that.  Now at 14, she is in 8th grade at a typical middle school and on high honor roll for the 6th term in a row.  Along with that great success has come struggles.  I liken these to her using all of her resources to do what needed to get done at school, so that she didn’t have any left at the end of the day when it came to dealing with the family.  Out of nowhere and without explanation she would respond to simple comments with a hostile and aggressive attitude.  I know you may be thinking - “uh, sounds like a teenage girl!”, and you would be right, but that wasn’t my teenage girl.  My daughter is a late bloomer physically and socially.  She isn’t one to cop an attitude, is still in love with her stuffed animals and loves to read books and play Minecraft.  So when I asked her to repeat what she had just said because I couldn’t hear it over the disposal and she acted as though I was intentionally trying to undermine her very being and stormed out of the room saying she wished she was born into a different family, it was out of character.  Christie looked not only at my daughter’s situation, personality and physical/medical history, but also the family situation and the impact that divorce, complicated family dynamics, and my daughters social struggles all figured into the picture.  With support from Christie in addition to those we already had in place, I feel like I have gotten my daughter back.  Our house no longer feels like a minefield.  My daughter has more stamina and is less volatile and reactive.  She no longer treats me like the enemy and instead sees me as an ally, snuggling next to me on the couch and asking for opportunities to share her new favorite game with me.  She still has ASD and ADHD and finds navigating the social landscape challenging, but once again, she is her quirky, caring and thoughtful girl.

Young man with anxiety, low self confidence and depression stuck in an abusive relationship

Christie was asked to help a young man in an emotionally abusive marriage. He was experiencing depression, anxiety, confused and negative thinking leading to irritability, poor family relationships, work anxiety and underperformance on expected goals, lack of boundaries, lost sense of self and no confidence. With Christie’s guidance he was able to gain enough strength and clarity to remove himself from the abusive situation. While sad about the loss of his relationship and marriage, he was able to recognize that he had to save himself. He is communicating with family again and showing a renewed sense of self. He continues treatment with remedies appropriate for his new situation and is able to handle the associated emotions. We are so grateful for Christie’s insight and compassionate guidance to restore a life that had taken a wrong turn. What a difference a few weeks and the appropriate remedies can make!

Exhausted and overwhelmed single mother with joint pain

I imagine anyone who is looking into homeopathy believes, or is coming to believe, that you cannot separate the physical from the mental and emotional, and that is precisely why western medicine fails to address so many chronic conditions.  At 47 as a single mom of two, I found myself struggling to do what needed to get done.  A drawn out divorce and subsequent legal battles with my ex left me worn out, quick to get triggered by people or situations out of my control and suffering from digestive issues and severe joint pain and inflammation.  I went to my doctor and had a whole gamut of lab tests done.  My roaming tendonitis/arthritis like condition didn’t tick all of the boxes of any diagnosable condition, but that didn’t change the fact that my hand hurt so much I was in tears simply buttoning my pants.   My doctors wanted to wait and see what happens, thinking eventually something would get bad enough to show up on a test and then they would know how to treat it.  Christie took a different approach.  She spent hours talking to me getting a thorough understanding of my physical condition and my mental and emotional conditions.  She came up with a few ideas about where to start.  She shared a number of profiles with me and asked which rang most true to me and that became my constitutional.   After starting it, I found myself to be more even keeled and resilient, even when confronted with frustrating situations.  Things that would have previously sent me into a bit of a tail spin I am able to take in stride.  After getting me to a better place mentally, we started addressing more of the physical symptoms.  My joint pain that made simple everyday tasks difficult is less pronounced and instead of flairs lasting for weeks, they may only last a few hours or a day.  We haven’t yet ironed out all of the wrinkles, but we are getting there.  If you have not gotten answers or relief from your doctor or the prescriptions they have given you, I highly recommend having a consultation with Christie.  She understands how you cannot separate the symptoms from who we are and she developed a treatment plan that takes into account the whole picture.
