I believe Dr. Ivker's comprehensive, holistic therapy for chronic sinus and lung disability is far superior to anything conventional medicine has to offer.

It is such a pleasure seeing a patient who has been suffering from chronic sinusitis for years, and then follows Dr. Ivker's program, comes in saying to me; "This is the best I have felt for a very long time". I have found that by learning to "love your nose", the rest of the body and soul follow.  

I've been well aware of Dr. Ivker's work since early in 1989, after reading the first edition of Sinus Survival. I immediately began recommending the book and aspects of his Sinus Survival Program to my patients (as well as to other physicians), and have continually been impressed with the results. I watched the book grow from 70 to more than 350 pages as his holistic medical treatment for respiratory disease expanded. I'm continually reminded of the remarkable effectiveness of his program.  From 1992 to 2006 I served with Dr. Ivker on the board of directors of both the American Holistic Medical Association and the American Board of Holistic Medicine and watched him evolve as a healer and leader. I consider him to be a healthcare visionary and one of the chief architects of 21st century medicine. I know that if I were sick, he would be the doctor I would turn to.

 Dr. Ivker’s book Sinus Survival has been extremely helpful for a group of my patients who have been unfortunately traumatized by chronic, intractable and debilitating respiratory disease including chronic sinusitis. After failure of conventional treatment, I have been pleasantly encouraged by the progress experienced by these patients who have faithfully followed the Ivker Chronic Sinusitis Treatment Protocol. For many he has been the “doctor of last resort.”

I have had the privilege of working closely with Rob Ivker for over 15 years. As co-authors, we have published a study of the integrative holistic treatment of chronic sinusitis patients in the peer-reviewed medical journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.

I want to issue the strongest possible endorsement for the validity of his work with debilitated chronic sinusitis and respiratory disease patients.

I have been a practicing physician for 40 years. A significant improvement occurred in the lives of my patients with respiratory problems (asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, nasal allergies) shortly after I started to follow the protocols suggested by Dr. Ivker in his book Sinus Survival. The positive changes in my patients were dramatic, specific, consistent, and clearly related to the fact that they were now following Dr. Ivker’s protocol. I had previously been using the traditional medical protocols and pharmaceuticals with only limited success and oftentimes only temporary results.

Our usual medical approach tends to be focused more on eliminating symptoms rather than going to the root causes of the problems. It frequently turns out there are multiple causes for the respiratory problems even if they were triggered by one event. These causes can involve not only the environment but also the mental, emotional, nutritional and spiritual components, and they often are quite variable with each individual. Our present system of not addressing these multiple, important, causative factors leaves many patients unable to achieve a maximum state of recovery.

Based on my experience with hundreds of patients with respiratory problems, I can almost guarantee that patients who commit to following Dr. Ivker’s protocol will show significant improvement. It is a treatment program that I highly recommend.
