Praise

Dr. Chilkov has been my care provider for over ten years. In that time she has listened compassionately and treated me with knowledge and patience. In fact, she has changed my life for the better and taught me how to care for and protect my well-being. I’m grateful for her expertise and for her treatment.

The medical world is polarized; providers of medical care are often limited to a particular modality or point of view. Dr. Chilkov is a truly holistic practitioner. She has extensive knowledge of both Western and Oriental Medicine, and a deep awareness of the psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing. Her professionalism, breadth of experience and insight into the mind/body connection are a rare and valuable combination.

I too can write paragraphs about the wonders of care I received after I was struck with breast cancer lumpectomy surgery and radiation treatments 12 years ago. Ever since then I continue to follow the regimen of supplements and diet she recommends. All from a very cautious diet and strong supplementation to correct the “terrain” (Dr. Nalini’s word) of my body. Thank you for everything, dear Dr.Nalini. I can always feel confident in the health trials that I may face without fear by virtue of your brilliant care . My life which is rich and full and will continue that way as I sail thought my 70?s and beyond!

I am not brave enough to tolerate much discomfort. Within about 10 days of starting your program, there was such an enormous difference – an unbelievable difference. A colleague wondered about this new paradigm – “thriving” on chemo. Of course after starting with nutrition and supplements and acupuncture, I began and continue to feel healthy and well and able to engage fully in life again. My friends say how AMAZING I look and seem surprised and puzzled and slightly suspicious. I think people are beginning to wonder if my cancer diagnosis was a sham! . I have energy, though I am careful not to over tire myself, not to do anything I think might be physically, or worse, emotionally draining. I am vigilant, though not obsessive, with my diet and nutrition and I am very disciplined about taking the supplements. And I tell everyone to take me off their worry list. The focus on my health and well-being makes me feel safe and unconcerned. With your help, I have achieved what I wanted when I first started treatment, and that is to make dealing with the cancer simply a routine like cleaning my teeth, not the central focus of my or my family’s life. I am incredibly, daily, grateful for this fortune, this gift of life and wellbeing. And, again, I thank you.

Let me express my profound gratitude for your generous and game-changing truth talking. The conversation we had may have changed my life more than any other. It was a wake up call, a call to action, and truly was such a heartfelt and stabilizing picture of reality. I cannot express how grateful I am. I am especially aware of the implications of our talk for my daughter, and for this I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am learning how to take better care of myself as I work through the different kinds of denial that I have. To say our conversation helped me to change the way I am handling this is an understatement. So again, thank you.

I’m impressed with this book. It’s concise and packed full of information and good advice. I recommend to people who want to out smart cancer or to those who have a diagnosis. 32 chapters so you can work through at your own pace to bring changes in your lifestyle.

Her skill has helped me to heal physically. More importantly, her compassion and patience helped me to grow and develop as a human being. Rarely in life do you meet someone who wondrously heals and teaches. In so doing, they expand and change your life. Nalini is one of those rare people.

Dr. Chilkov is a unique practitioner who combines her extensive knowledge in Western Medicine with her expertise in Oriental Medicine. As a patient and colleague of Dr. Chilkov’s, I can state firsthand that she is one of the most well versed and most experienced doctors integrating Western and Eastern Medicine. She is an extremely thorough diagnostician and can be trusted with any healthcare need.

Dr. Chilkov has dedicated herself to the art and science of Traditional Oriental Medicine, Naturopathy, Herbology, Homeopathy, and Nutrition as well as being rooted in a comprehensive knowledge of Western Medicine. She brings together the diverse traditions of Eastern and Western Medicine in a way that truly exemplifies the postmodern evolution of Complementary Medicine. She is the quintessential family practitioner focusing on the Whole Person, including body, mind and spirit. Her years of personal spiritual practice makes her uniquely qualified to address the complex physical, mental and emotional issues that we are confronting in these unprecedented times. She is always on the top of my list of qualified practitioners that I refer to.
