OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE

Practitioner: Mikaela Cradit

Health Status Before Program:
“Depressed. Anxious and unstable. My life was miserable. No ambition, no energy to do anything cause my health was so weak. My eczema was holding me down. Constantly shedding and peeling skin. Constant yellow infections on the cracks.”

Improvements Noticed:
“After talking with my health practitioner and committing to the regimen we discussed, I’ve noticed a real shift in my overall health—especially my skin. Before, my eczema was severe; after showers, my skin would be painfully dry, it would take at least 15 minutes to cool down, and I’d constantly shed layers of skin. Now, the difference is clear: the water actually beads and bounces off my skin instead of soaking in, which feels like a sign of restored balance. My skin feels smooth, stable, and far more resilient. Beyond the physical changes, my mental focus is clearer, and I genuinely feel happier seeing consistent improvement. For the first time in a long while, it feels like my body is responding and healing instead of fighting itself.”

Impact on Daily Life:
“These changes in my health have had a huge impact on my daily life and activities. When my eczema was at its worst, the dryness on my face made me anxious about going out in public, and I often felt ashamed of how I looked. It affected my confidence and held me back socially. Now that my skin is balanced, I feel a million times more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I don’t think twice about being out in public anymore, and I’m more present and engaged in everyday activities. My skin is glowing, my hair even looks thicker and fuller, and that external improvement has translated into a real internal shift—more ease, more confidence, and a better quality of life overall. Short answer, I used to get no hoes, now I get some hoes.“

I GOT MY AUNT BACK

Practitioner: Mikaela Cradit

Health Status Before Program:
” I am writing on behalf of my aunt. My aunt Regina has stage 4 cancer. The doctors gave her six months to live. This was in May of 2025. When I brought her in the office she could only sit in her hospice wheelchair if someone picked her up and put her in it. She couldn’t eat much. Her mind was so slow, we had to guess what she wanted. She was very weak. My aunt has become my second mother since mine passed in 2019. This place was my last hope.”

Improvements Noticed:
“My aunt Regina has started walking again. She’s eating everything and drinking lots of fluids mainly spring water. She’s having full conversations and even told me she wants to drive again. This was not a surge! It’s been almost two months and we are going strong. Her hair is even growing back. I ordered the prescribed medicine and it came sooner than I thought. I was able to drop the meds off to her and her son before I got on my plane. When I returned home, four days had gone by. Everything changed.”

Impact on Daily Life:
“Regina has been dancing a bit. Listening to music, calling, and talking on the phone again. She remembers our names. I got my aunt back. I understand that everyone has different opinions about holistic care. I don’t know what the future holds for my aunt and the family. For now we are celebrating and having great days on purpose. I wish I could have brought my mother here. The healing center has giving my family and I hope. We are so grateful to all the staff and doctors. On behalf of my family and myself, thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts.“

CHRONIC SINUS ISSUES— RESOLVED

Practitioner: Mikaela Cradit

Health Status Before Program:
“Prior to seeking services from NHCAA, I had been experiencing chronic sinus issues and difficulty breathing, both of which had significantly impacted my quality of life. Despite undergoing radiographs, a CT scan, and asthma testing, there was no definitive cause for my symptoms. I had also been scheduled for sinus surgery, although there was no clear indication that it would resolve my sinus issues. My primary care doctor and ENT kept prescribing medications that caused side effects and little to no relief.”

Improvements Noticed:
“I started this program 1 year ago, and within the first 2 months, I started noticing improvement in my symptoms. I was able to cancel my sinus procedure and am not on any prescription medications. Mikaela helped me get my life back, not only with muscle testing and supplements, but she also encouraged a healthy diet and recommended an infrared sauna, both playing a huge part in the healing journey. I feel better than I ever have and am thankful for the tools and resources that this program has offered.”

Impact on Daily Life:
“I can’t even begin to share the overall improvement in my quality of life. I’m exercising regularly, cooking more than ever, traveling, etc. One year ago, I was spending the majority of my days in bed and could hardly recognize myself.

Thank you to all of you at NHCAA and especially to Mikaela! This program isn’t a one-size-fits-all, and she tailored it to fit exactly what my body needed. I am so grateful and so amazed by how resilient our bodies truly are.”

MENTAL CLARITY

Practitioner: Dr. Taggy Bensaïd

Health Status Before Program:
“Before seeking services from Dr. Taggy, I was struggling significantly with depression and intrusive thoughts. I felt lost and overwhelmed, and I wasn’t in a good place mentally or emotionally. Dr. Taggy has been a guiding light for me. From the moment I began working with her, she made me feel heard, seen, and safe. Her compassionate approach allowed me to trust her, and she never pressured me to take steps I wasn’t ready for. Instead, she gently guided me, empowering me with strength and hope that I didn’t know I had. Dr. Taggy has been instrumental in helping me begin my journey toward healing.”

Improvements Noticed:
“Since starting the program with Dr. Taggy, I have noticed significant improvements in my overall well-being. I now experience much greater mental clarity and feel more energized throughout the day. My mood has greatly improved, and I find myself feeling happier and more balanced. Additionally, my digestive health has become more regulated, which has contributed to an overall sense of physical and emotional balance. I truly feel like I’m on the path to better health and wellness.”

Impact on Daily Life:
“Dr. Taggy has profoundly changed my life in ways I never thought possible. She has instilled in me a renewed sense of faith and belief that anything is achievable, and I no longer feel consumed by fear. For years, the word “cancer” held so much weight for me, especially as a mother with a 15-20% risk of a thyroid nodule. My greatest fear has always been not being there for my children. Illness used to overwhelm me, but with Dr. Taggy’s support, I now face these challenges with confidence and strength. She has given me the courage to keep going, and I truly feel that I will be okay. Dr. Taggy is an incredible soul, radiating light and positivity to everyone she encounters, and her presence in my life has been nothing short of a blessing.”

AUTISM SPECTRUM

Practitioner: Dr. Taggy Bensaïd

Health Status Before Program:
“My son is on the autistic spectrum, very picker eater, very self directed and was getting sick often.”

Improvements Noticed:
“He has not been sick, he has shown more empathy and even said the words I’m sorry. He has not shown any interest in a chocolate donut that was bought for him even though it used to be his favorite thing.”

Impact on Daily Life:
“It’s nice to see him healthy, and more flexible.”

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

Practitioner: Kerry Cradit

Health Status Before Program:
“I’m 74 years old and have been battling trigeminal neuralgia in all three trimesters of my face since the mid-90s. The face pain was so severe I couldn’t talk, chew, touch my face, and sometimes couldn’t get out of bed for days, weeks, or months depending on the flare-up. Despite trying several medications and different types of treatments, nothing worked for long, and my condition progressively worsened. The pain became so severe that I was afraid to be alone during a flare-up, and I was losing hope.”

Improvements Noticed:
“Since starting the program and taking the supplements, my pain has decreased in intensity and frequency. I now have hope for a total healing and repair of my body.”

Impact on Daily Life:
“The best part is that I have my life back. I can do anything I want to do. Anyone who has experienced trigeminal neuralgia knows how devastating it is. My whole life has opened back up. I can enjoy my family, friends, laugh, talk, drive ..simply enjoy my life .. I’m very grateful I found Dr. Schmidt on YouTube”

I WAS A VEGETARIAN MY WHOLE LIFE

I started my treatment protocol with Dr. Bensaid 7 weeks ago. The difference in my health has been life-changing.

I was a vegetarian for pretty much my whole life and then raw vegan since 2017. I felt like my body was very quickly breaking down and becoming weak and I was losing muscle mass and connective tissue rapidly. Nothing showed up in my Doctor’s blood tests except a lack of vitamin D.

I contacted the NHCAA and had the great pleasure of speaking to Dr Bensaid. She is so in tune with the human body that immediately she was was asking me if I had symptoms that I never even knew I had. We spoke about my diet and I started eating lots of liver and red meat and fats. My strength and stamina and muscular structure slowly started to come back. I felt more sturdy and solid and calmer just from a change of eating. My energy levels went through the roof making my workouts much more intense and longer.

The supplements I was given are only enhancing every aspect of this new eating regime making my body feel the best it’s ever felt. Some ovarian cysts I had are literally dissolving and my body feels less calcified and more fluid. I’m eating less, going into ketosis, and allowing my body to heal through intermittent fasting which is so easy if you eat lots of fat. When I get a carb craving, I eat some fat and now carb cravings are gone.

I have two sometimes one meal a day because the satiation from eating this way doesn’t call for any more food keeping my insulin spikes low which also benefits the healing.

I’m so impressed with the NHCAA and Dr. Schmidt and all of his free youtube content which absolutely works. Dr. Bensaid is a pleasure to work with. She’s intelligent, incredibly learned about the human body, and how it can work optimally and after each conversation, I feel even more enlightened by what she shares with me.

I’m so grateful to be on this healing journey with the incredible team at the NHCAA. Now if you could all move to the UK that would be awesome.

Thanks, everyone.

ANXIETY/ DEPRESSION/ THYROID

What was it like before you came in to see us? I had no energy! I felt terrible all the time. I wasn’t sleeping and had extreme anxiety and depression. I was seriously considering going on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs. My digestion was horrible and I had been on Armor Thyroid for years!

How is it now? I feel like a different person! I’m sleeping great. My digestion is so much better, I have energy and my anxiety is so much better. I was actually able to go off of all of my thyroid medications- my family doctor even told me to go off of it. I never thought this would happen!

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

What was it like before you came to see us? I was looking at new options to help me with my rheumatoid arthritis. My hands would get stiff and fingers may swell. I was still eating wrong foods and clenching my teeth.

How have these improvements changed your life? Weight management is always good. Have knowledge of foods that are good for you. My hands don’t hurt and no clenching teeth.

KIDNEY STONES

What was it like before you came in to see us? I recently had an issue with two large kidney stones in my right kidney. They were too large to pass and the Urologist was telling me that I would need surgery to get rid of them, but I chose to try to dissolve them.

How is it now? Dr. Childress helped with dietary guidance and supplements. She was able to assist me in dissolving my kidney stones. It took all summer to do, but it was worth it. I am so happy to not have to have surgery. Dr. Childress is amazing. I would highly recommend her to my friends, family or anyone seeking help with their health.

How long did this improvement take? It took all summer to do, but it was worth it! I am so happy that I did not have to have surgery. Dr. Childress is amazing, I would highly recommend her to my friends, family or anyone seeking help to improve their health.
