Pacific Naturopathic-Connie and Marcel

Dr. Connie Hernandez and Dr. Marcel Hernandez are knowledgeable, helpful, caring, patient, responsive and listen. Recently, they helped me with breast cancer. Their treatments supplements and IV along with conventional treatment surgery helped me recover faster with less pain, likely combined with a whole food vegan diet my protocol. They are a great team to have on your side during a cancer journey. I will continue using Dr. Connie as my primary doctor. I will continue with maintenance IV vitamin C therapy with Dr. Marcel to keep cancer from returning. Dr. Connie also helped me in 2003 with my severe pollen allergies I was allergic to all flowers, grasses and trees. In short, after 7 years of allergy shots, daily prescription pill and steroid nasal spray, the manufacturer of the pill discontinued it. I tried a few other Rx pills that caused insomnia, headaches and acne. A friend suggested I try Dr. Connie. She gave me a couple of supplements and informed me of a diet change, basically low glycemic. Amazingly, as a result, I have been cured since of my year round pollen allergies. The bonus was my exercise induced asthma also disappeared. A few years into the diet change, I tried high intensity exercise without using my inhaler. I have not used an inhaler since then.

Dr. Connie was wonderful in helping me mitigate the various pains accompanying my recent pregnancy. After getting some blood work she was able to recognize any areas where my current levels were irregular or needed adjustment and correctly prescribed supplements to balance them. Highly recommend for any health concerns you may have.

Original review posted summer of 2016: Dr. Connie Hernandez and Dr. Marcel Hernandez are an amazing husband-and-wife team of Naturopathic Doctors N.D.s. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to adjunctive cancer care. I came to them last December after my stage 3 colon cancer had metastasized to the liver, in spite of having completed traditional colectomy surgery and 6 months of chemo. They helped me get started on a routine of supplements and I.V. vitamin C treatments, along with general nutritional and lifestyle advice. I had the new liver tumor surgically removed, and 6 months later there is still no evidence of any new tumor activity according to my oncologist. I am definitely beating the odds! I also feel a lot better than I felt with the traditional "standard of care" with no adjunctive support. Dr. Connie as she prefers to be called helps plan my overall treatment, and answers a lot of questions that the oncologist can't or won't. She is also very accommodating of my own preferences, such as my decision to base some of my diet and supplement choices on the "Cancer Free" book by Bill Henderson. Dr. Marcel supervises my I.V. infusions, including some special nutrient blends he administered immediately before and after my liver tumor surgery. My oncologist was astounded to find me in her office for a check-up only 8 days after the surgery, looking "like a million bucks" in her words! Update posted on 3/16/18: Still here! Cancer has been "stable" for a little over a year now. This means there are a few small tumors in various places just sitting there and doing nothing. I can't even feel them! It has been almost 4 years now since my original colon cancer surgery. I have continued to refine my diet, and now follow a ketogenic diet protocol based on the recent book "Keto for Cancer" by Miriam Kalamian. I am still doing I.V. vitamin C infusions twice a week. The doctors at Pacific Naturopathic say that their cancer patients who are doing the best are the ones who are combining I.V. vitamin C with a ketogenic diet. I am very grateful! Update posted on 2/18/21: STILL here! Pacific Naturopathic helped me hang on so long that now there is an oral medication available that treats my specific colon cancer mutation. My CT scans done by Stanford have been stable for 6 months now. Although I stopped doing the I.V. vitamin C with Pacific Naturopathic in April of 2019, I still pick up their recommended oral supplements from the Pacific Naturopathic office in Mountain View.

Dr Connie was super-helpful with menopause relief
