TESTIMONIALS
A few years ago, some of my patients/clients have told me that they wanted to write testimonial letters to me and that I should make it public. Overtime, I thought about that. But, I’ve been “busy” and didn’t do it. Today, January 1, 2009, I decided to make a very few of them public. I intend to make a few more available as soon as I can. Thank you for reading this. I hope you find it beneficial to you and others.

Testimony Letter
I would like to share my testimony to let everyone know that Dr. Patina Underwood-Muhammad is truly amazing. I’ll give a little background so that you understand why I say this. My daughter was diagnosed with Asthma at the age of two years old. She was put on inhaled corticosteroids which can have terrible side effects which can cause more health problems in the future.
Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that infames and narrows the airways which can make it very difficult for you to breathe. It causes recurring periods of wheezing which is a whistling sound when you breathe, chest tightness, shortness of breath and coughing. The coughing occurs at night or early in the morning. You clan never predict when this disease is going to attack you. So you have to be really careful and try to do everything you can to keep this disease under control.
For a while, we thought we had this horrible disease under control. At the age of 10, my daughter, Jemila had a severe asthma attack. Her body was in such a distress that the doctors had to put tubes down her throat so that the machine can breathe for her because she was unable to breathe on her own. I never have been afraid in my life. I didn’t know what to expect. All I could do at this point was pray. I need to say that my prayers were answered. My baby girl made it through that horrible incident.
One day, I started thinking that there has to be another way. The medicine my daughter is on now is not working. I was referred to Dr. Patina who is an ND and an Iridologist. I was told how she helped others that were very ill. I was willing to see what Dr. Patina had to say. After explaining my daughter’s health condition, Dr. Patina assured me that she can get rid of asthma. “Get rid of asthma?” I said, I then replied, “that is impossible.” I can remember Dr. Patina saying calmly, “you can continue with the medicines you daughter is on now, but pretty soon she will no longer need them.” I hate to admit this, but I was skeptical, as well as scared. I was worried that my daughter may never get better. I wasn’t really sure if Dr. Patina was going to be able to even help my daughter. First of all, I had never heard of treating asthma with herbal/natural medicines, which had no side effects or being asthma free. I always thought once you have asthma, you always have asthma. I was told by other doctors that my daughter will never be cured of asthma. One thing I knew for certain was that I have to do something about my daughter’s condition. I could not continue with the same old routine and expect a different result. Even though I was skeptical and scared, I did exactly what Dr. Patina told me to do. Jemila took every herbal medicine that Dr. Patina prescribed.
I am glad that I listened to Dr. Patina. She was so right. I started to see positive results. Her skin started to clear up. She had a better appetite. She was able to participate in sports that she used to dream about participating in. Jemila’s lungs became a lot stronger. Just to give you an idea on how strong, she was able to participate in one of her favorites sports, such as soccer. This sport involves lots and lots of running. This means a great deal to my daughter and I because we both remember when she could not run at all without risking having an asthma attack. But now, I’m glad to say that is not the case! Not only did she get to play soccer, but she won her first medal in soccer.
Just to let you know, I am no longer skeptical, scared or confused. I know for a fact that Dr. Patina was the answer to my prayers. Jemila, who is now 17, has become even stronger and healthier. She has come a long way. I have witnessed my daughter at her lowest point in health where she could have died. Dr. Patina has gone the extra mile to help my daughter overcome her illness which is still an ongoing process. Dr. Patina explains, “healing is like peeling an onion; you continue to peel the onion until there is no onion to peel.”
I thank Dr. Patina for the excellent care she has given, not only to my daughter, but to my entire family. We are truly blessed to have a doctor such as Dr. Patina in our presence. Because of Dr. Patina, my daughter, Jemila is on her way to having an asthma free life.
Forever grateful,
Jessica Young

As Salaam Alaikum Family,
This morning I had to rush my wife to the hospital after her experiencing some serious complications with Cesarian surgery. They said that she could have had a stroke(which was not true) and her headaches were so bad that we were in the ER. We saw and talked to four Doctors, and the Surgeon who performed the original surgery at the world famous Mayo Hospital in North Scottsdale. They gave her three choices this afternoon. Either continue to go thru pain (a ten on a scale from 1-10), stick a long needle in her back to and create a blood clot in her back (not proven to work in all cases), or medicate her with medicine that would also stop her from nursing our newborn. We refused it all …the Cat Scan, the medication, the stroke, and the needle. I explained the options to Dr Patina Muhammad and she had us come to her office in Phoenix. Ten minuets after seeing Dr. Patina the pain subsided. It was as if a miracle happened. We came home, followed her instructions and my wife does not feel any pain whatsoever! I’m writing this to let everyone know that we should press hard to find natural cures. Thank you Dr Patina. I prayed for a cure and Allah sent it through you.
Message: ASA,
I received your care and advice approx 2 1/2 yrs ago when I was 4 months pregnant. Everyone always asked me how I maintained such a pleasant disposition and had no emotional meltdowns or sickness. I would tell everyone, and still do, that I took the prescriptions suggested to me by YOU! I had no mood swings, constipation, queasiness or other negative pregnancy symptoms. My son who is now 2yrs and 2m is very healthy and has always been so. I believe my prenatal care has everything to do with his health,
intelligence and overall well being. He, like many black children was holding his head up right after birth. He also began crawling(not scooting or pulling) at 4m! For my next pregnancy, I will be ready and know exactly where to go for care! Nzinga X (Brandon) Chicago, Ill.
THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU!

I remember Sister Patina, when she worked at the hospital in the early 90’s. She was over the ministry of health here in Phoenix. The talk was going around to the FOI, for any of us, who wives were pregnant, to have the baby where she works, because she would look after us. At that time, my wife was having babies and Sister Patina helped with the deliverery of four of my children. Bro. Harry Muhammad; Phx.

This is my testimonial of the wonderful health care I have received from Dr. Patina. When I first moved to Arizona, I was referred to her by my sister in law Charlotte Muhammad who was very much aware of my health problems. I had my first visit with Dr. Patina in 2004; I had chest pains (A history of heart disease runs in my family. Both my parents died of heart attacks), due to stress and anxiety, I also suffered with insomnia, low energy and high cholesterol.
Now with the personal care that I receive from Dr. Patina, over the last two years, it has been several months since I have experience any chest pains. I am now sleeping through the night, the stress and anxiety attacks have subsided. Cholesterol is normal and my energy level is high compared to what it once was. I can now walk 3 miles, 3 to 4 times per week, but before, I could barely walk up and down the stairs in my home. My over all quality of life has greatly improved because of the care that I have been receiving under Dr. Patina’s care and I am not on any pharmaceutical drugs. I have only taken all Natural herbs recommended by Dr. Patina only.
I think Dr. Patina goes above and beyond for her clients, home visit if necessary, off hour office visit (Sunday). These are just a few things that she has done for my family. Catherine M. Phx. AZ.

For the past 4 years I was diagnosed with what the medical field calls athletes arthritis. This affected my pelvic and hip area so much so that every doctor said I would need a hip replacement.
Well I chose not to, not wanting to go through such a serious operation. Having my hip replace was not an option for me. This was becoming very difficult for me because I was experiencing so much pain in my hips. I started studying my condition and taking herbs used for this condition, still no change. Then about 8 months to a year ago, I received a phone call from a friend who informed me that dr. Patina was going to be in town. He briefly told me of her success rate of helping people.
I immediately schedule an appointment to see her. I’m now able to move my right leg without the assistance of my hand. I’m able to touch my left toe with my right toe, indicating my hip is regaining its rotation and mobility.
Through Dr. Patina hip replacement is no longer in sight and it’s not an option. Aaron Newark, NJ; August 31, 2006

I came to Dr. Patina really upset about the state of my health. I had severe health issues including congestive heart failure, going to the doctors. I felt as though I was given a death sentence.I went home and started Dr. Patina’s health program and within three months I felt totally healed. I was so excited. I told my children and friends, how good I felt. Dr. Patina is serious about what she do. She is sincerely bringing people back from death door. Sincerely, Antoinette; Goodyear Az

I recently had total organ failure and was on a life support machine fighting for my life. When I came through and was well enough I went to go see Dr. Patina. The doctors at the hospital had me on a lot of medications that were making me feel horrible. I began Dr. Patina nutritional program and I began to feel wonderful. I feel as though I never even had total organ failure. My doctors were able to take me off all of my medications. I am very grateful to have her as my doctor. She is excellent. I completely believe and trust her. Sincerely, Curtis Jamison 12/2005

I’ve been diagnosed with a lung condition, which turned out to be a thyroid goiter that grew back from a previous surgery in 1974 under my chest cavity. Because I had an under active thyroid, I took kelp (my own treatment) three times a day, maybe this is the reason it grew back. They gave me steroids, which worsen my condition, and I got sicker by the day. By the time they found the goiter I had an enlarged heart, which lead to other problems. Dr. Patina was a great help to me, as I started to regain my health by following her nutritional supplement program. I am now winning the battle.
My son Anwar (27 years old) was diagnosed with ulcer-colitis, by the time I learn of it he had lost 40 lbs and need 6 units of blood. He was fighting for his life. We were going from doctors to doctors trying to get help. Finally I convinced my son to see Dr. Patina. The nutritional program she advised my son to take literally save his life. He is back at work strong. He only took what she advised him to take. Statement of Debra of Duncanville, Texas. 9/2006

I developed high blood pressure several years ago, going through personal trials. My physical condition was not good. I did not work out at all. A few years later, I sought Dr. Patina’s services. I started and then I was not able to keep up. During this period of time of no treatment, (one year at least) I had sharper pains in my chest area, headaches and stomach problems. I developed a strange feeling on the side of my stomach. I would swell up with small amount of food. I would become weak and tired. I made an appointment with Dr. Patina and tested. My condition had grown worse. I started taking my nutritional supplements and within two weeks I noticed a big difference in my energy level. I was feeling much better. The sharp pains have nearly gone in my chest areas. On a scale of ten at the highest pain, the pain has gone down to a 2 within 30 days. Since going to Dr. Patina I have been feeling much better. I intend to continue with her services. Sincerely, Jackie Phx. AZ.

I have been under Dr. Patina services for my health approximately three and a half years. With BPH or an enlarged prostate I have had problems over the years. I went to my primary care doctor, he sent me to the lab to test my blood, my PSA count was 5.9. The Urologist wanted to do a biopsy. I decided to try Dr. Patina first. She did the QRA method. It showed that my prostate and bladder was weak. Her recommended program brought my PSA count down to 3.6. I was frequently the restroom 20-30 minutes apart and at night 15 to 20 minutes visiting the bathroom. I’m no longer visiting the bathroom every 20-30 minutes and now am sleeping throughout the night. I maybe get up once or twice now. Dr. Patina nutritional program also rid me of my severe digestive program. I would get severe cramps in my stomach especially after eating. The coffee enema that she advised was excellent for the digestive problems. I have a friend of my for 53 years who has an illness similar to mine, flew to Phoenix to see her. He told me how Dr. Patina answered questions about his prostate problem that his other doctors could not answered. He was highly impressed with her and her treatment of him. I don’t even want to think about what my health condition would be today in regards to my prostate, bladder, digestive system, as well as other health problems had I not sought out Dr. Patina’s services. Sincerely, Joel/Phx. AZ 4/2006

I would like to share a testimony. My name is Lorine Fahie-Brooks. I began Dr. Patina’s nutritional supplemental program. I use to be extremely frightened to go to sleep. I would wake up frantically at the edge of my bed thinking it would be my last night alive. Because of this I would get 2 to 3 hours of sleep every night. I have been to several different medical heart specialists hoping to find help. Upon taking the nutritional supplements that Dr. Patina advised I have not had any of those frightening heart condition and isn’t having any discomfort. I’m sleeping throughout the whole night and is getting adequate rest. Within two weeks all of my symptoms was gone. I thank God that He has somebody looking out for me. And I thank Dr. Patina for taking the time to heal me. Ms. Lorine Fahie-Brooks; March 14, 2006

I, Monette Jackson, have been a patient/client of Dr. Patina Muhammad for the past 2 years. Before being seen by Dr. Patina, I was under the care of several conventional doctors for a year due to severe abdominal pain and chronic nausea. After about a year of being put through rigorous tests, procedures, taking different medications and seeing different specialists to no avail, a friend of mine recommended that I see Dr. Patina. I had a visit with her and in that same visit she was able to explain in laymen’s term what the problem was. She then recommended the appropriate supplements to take. No later then six weeks later, I was relieved of all symptoms.
Two months later, I became an employee of hers. I now can recall numerous testimonies from clients telling me of their experience and recovery to better health due to Dr. Patina. She is a very dedicated doctor who has rearranged her schedule countless times in order for a client to see her. I have witnessed her going far and beyond her duty as a doctor; whether it’s traveling long distance to see the elderly or donating her time and services to those who would otherwise not be able to afford it, she has done it. She is a non discriminative doctor whose patients come from all backgrounds including medical doctors and others who works in the medical field. Dr. Patina should be a role model to all doctors on how to handle great knowledge with humility. Monette Jackson; August 21, 2006.

This is my testimony of the wonderful health care I have received from Dr. Patina. I was referred to her by my wife Catherine Muhammad who was very much aware of my health problems. I had my first visit with Dr. Patina in 2005; I had pain in my joints, knees and my sciatica nerve and f few months after being under her care i injured my right foot. Now with the personal care that I received from Dr. Patina over the last year I don’t wake up complaining about how my joints are aching, I am able to do light workouts and walk the treadmill at the gym 3 or 4 times a week. It was difficult for me to sit for long periods at a time because of my sciatica nerve. It does not bother me as much to sit for long periods of time now. I have also lost 20 pounds on the cleanse program that Dr. Patina recommended. I went to several other doctors before coming to Dr. Patina, she has really helped my family and me, and all of this without pharmacceutical drugs just all natural herbs. Chris Muhammad; Phx. Az. 9/9/06

I am a very satisfied former client of Dr. Patina of South Mountain Nutritional Center. I say former because she has reversed all of my health condition that caused me to seek her help, but I will call her if I had any other health condition or concerns. After having both my parents die under regular medical practices and believing that much more should have been done by their doctors to prolong their stay in life, I developed a disappointment in and distrust of regular medicine. Though, I was fortunate for practically all my adult life to almost never need, or at least acknowledge that I needed, professional health help, in 2005 headed for my 51st birthday, I began to have some pain in the middle of my lower back, and in truth had to admit that pain had been there for years. I also contracted two very congestive colds.
A couple of months before the 1st of the colds, around February, I had been invited to a health seminar put on by Dr. Patina and was impressed with her explanations of Natural healing and cutting edge knowledge of the human body, science, and the latest trends in both regular and natural healing practices. Having been a Firefighter for the City of Tempe between 1975 and 1982, I’d had some medical training with the department to the level of EMT II and so had some basis to evaluate her level of expertise. I was delighted she was sympathetic to my views regarding regular medicine. I toughed my way through the first cold but was beset by the second cold in a matter of a few months as well as increase in the pain in my lower back and so decided I had bette get help.
Natural, I remembered Dr. Patina, and so decided to give it a try, especially given my impression of regular medicine. My first visit she assessed me and tested me and strongly told me I had weak kidneys, weak lung, and weak adrenal functions. She suggested that I go to a local lab for a complete work up including blood and urine analysis. Her suspicious were confirmed as the lab results became availabe. She put me on a health program using dietary and herbal formulations to help my body heal. It worked. Over the course of a few months the lower back pain disappeared and I felt much more robust and even mentally clearer. As of this time, I have not had a return to any of the back pains that were caused by the kidneys and the adrenals nor have I had more of the colds that appeared to be setting up a pattern with me before I decided to go see Dr. Patina.
Another big feature of her practice is that she teaches her clients how to eat and protect themselves against a ever increasing toxic environment. Dr. Patina has been very accessable and down to earth, and not at all intimidating as some of my other experiences with doctors.

My name is Starla Muhammad and I and my 2 1/2 year old son have been clients of Dr. Patina Muhammad (no relation) since January 2006. I could not have asked for a more dedicated, caring and knowledgeable health care professional to care for my son and me.
My son Yusef had the tendency to catch a cold or flu in daycare/school as most children do. As a result, he would get fevers that resulted in seizures. Needless to say, this was extremely frightening, unnerving and of great concern. The regimen of herbs and supplements she recommended not only eliminated his symptoms and the source of the infection, they have helped boost his immune system. In March, he had a very high fever that resulted in several seizures (my mother was visiting from out of town and can attest to this). Dr. Muhammad saw him right away and recommended a special kind of coffee enema. Within a matter of 2 to 4 hours his fever was broken.
Dr. Muhammad works in conjunction with “traditional” medicine to get to the source of the condition with my son. Last month, he had swollen glands. She saw him right away and again, gave her recommendations of herbs and supplements. Dr. Muhammad is aware and in full support of the fact that my son also has a pediatrian. She fully supports the contributions and importance of diagnostic tests, etc. Yusef immune system has become increasingly strong and resilient since he has been her patient.
Dr. Muhammad has also helped me tremendously and is continuing to do so. I had a pinched nerve in my lower back that was radiating down my leg. I was in great deal of pain. She prescribed the Medi Body Pack and within a matter of a few weeks the pain was completely gone and has not returned. She is currently helping me with weight loss and boosting my energy. I am currently on the 3rd day of a 21 day detox/cleansing program, recommended by Dr. Muhammad. Starla 9/2006

My name is Mary Williams, I’ve been seeing Dr. Patina, since about two years now. My results on my problem with my body are no less than remarkable. The results on the natural medicines are now less than a miracle. I’ve had aches, pains, side effects from having numerous of past operations, have completely disappeared. I can go on and on to atest to the actual healing results i’ve had since I started taking the medicine. I have recommened others, who are very happy with their results. Mary Williams Phx. AZ.

This is my testimonial to the healing that has happen to me in the year 2005 up until now. I was going in and out of the emergency rooms, having doctors tell me the same thing over and over again. They said everything was fine, but my body was telling me I was not fine. I had a EDG, Colonoscopy, all kinds of testing done, they found nothing. But my body was telling me something is wrong. I felt really bad. I wasn’t getting any sleep at night. I was losing weight. I had no energy. But the doctors kept telling me I was fine. My family was getting fraustrated. I found out about Dr. Patina and I called her. I talked to her and she felt my pain. She told me everything that I needed. She monitored me for a whole year before I was able to see her. Now, I am feeling way better than I have ever felt since this battle. Thank you Dr. Patina for caring and helping me through these ruff times. Yvonne M. Dayton, Ohio

I have been a patient of Dr. Patina for the last six months and had a nutritional workup for a cardiac arrhythmia. I have been to several physicians regarding this condition. The results I have received with Dr. Patina have been excellent. My cardiovascular system is stronger than before and can do exercise and weight training at the health club that before was very guarded. I am very pleased with my results. Thank you Dr. Patina.

I am writing this letter to cheer the efforts and professionalism of service I have been receiving previously, currently and intend to receive in the future. In our collective effort of recovering to bring about total healing from this episode in my life regarding teh stroke I had in April 2006, my family and I feel that without the services of Dr. Patina and the South Mountain Nutritional Center, I would be in far worse shape. I must commend her for her candid, but stern attitude towards me as her client. May God continue to Bless her and her endeavors. Hannibal Yusuf Sirboya Phx. AZ.

Dr. Patina Muhammad has been my doctor now for five years. She has been a valuable consultant in my ordeals with my Medical Doctors. I’ve been treated for several illnesses and tremendously helped by Dr. Patina. This was mainly due to her valuable knowledge and expertise of the human body and the administration of the kinds of treatment therapies that she offers, and my following her instructions. My health has improved profoundly. Linda M. Phx. AZ.

I would like to tell of the help I received from Dr. Patina during a time of extreme distress in my life and very difficult decision regarding my health. Dr. Patina gave me options that proved to be successful alternatives to what was being recommended by the doctors I had seen.
I had extreme anemia along with intrauterine fibroid tumors. These conditions wer complicated by extreme blood loss during menstrual cycles that would overlap one another causing my blood count to be a very low 5. I was so weak that my husband had to do everything to manage our life, get me to emergency at local hospitals, and all but physically carry me to appointments.
The diagnosis at the time was that I would have to have a hysterectomy and was in need of an emergency blood transfusion as my life was in danger. The doctors mentioned organ failure, and shutting down various bodily systems if I did not take the blood. It was all very frightening for both my husband and me. We were firmly against a blood transfusion as pretty much out of the question, except, as an absolute last resort. My husband taled to Dr. Patina and told her of these problems.
Dr. Patina told me husband of a remedy consisting of basic vegetables juiced together and to have me drink as much as I could as often as I could in order to strengthen my blood. My husband purchased a juicer and followed her suggestions. With the passing of a couple of days, I felt better as my husband kept a constant glass of this juiced vegetable preparation before me. Over the next week, I had another appointment to see the doctors I was seeing at the time and they were amazed that my blood count, which in just 8 or 9 days had gone from the dangerously low of 5 to a much improved 9. They asked if I had gone to another hospital and took the blood transfusion. Dr. patina aslo referred me to another medical doctor who would not be so quick to suggest hysterectomy.
Over the course of the next 2 months my blood count went to a 15 by drinking the juiced vegetable preparation and I was able to have a surgery performed by the doctors she had referred me to. The fibroids were removed with a hysterectomy or blood transfusion. I am grateful to have had Dr. Patina unofficially and at no charge, advising me and my husband so that we got the results that we obtain. Sincerely, Cherly C. Phx. AZ.

My name is Felicia, and I am a client of Dr. Patina. Before I transferred to Dr. Patina I was seeing another doctor who told me that I needed a blood transfusion due to the heavy bleeding that I was experiencing. I wanted a second opinion so I went to Dr. Patina and she recommended for me a natural remedy to my problem. After following her instructions, I went and had a follow up examination about two weeks later. The other doctor informed me that my blood count was excellent and I no longer needed the transfusion. I also have not had heavy bleeding ever sense I have been her client. In my experience as well as opinion, I truly believe in Dr. Patina to be a wonderful, exceptionally, gifted doctor who really cares and treats the whole body with nutrition. I love what she is doing and will continue to see her.

On March 4, 2008 I accompanied my mother to meet with Dr. Patina for help with the health of her kidneys. The doctors diagnosed her with anemia and because her kidneys were spitting out proteins they had become damaged. On a scale from 1-5, 5 being the most severe, she was at a 3. Her blood cell count was also low. Her doctor indicated that through medication (prednisone), it could possibly stop the damage, but not reverse the damage. When we came to see Dr. Patina, she put her on increased dosages of Dr. Marshall’s kidney complex and DHLA. Her test results now show that her blood cells are normal and doctors are amazed that her kidneys have made a full recovery. Thank you so much for everything that you have done to help in my mother’s recovery. Carol C. Los Angels, CA.
