TrueNorth Health Center Review

I'm on the East Coast so I do phone consults they are just superb! Dr. G -- his phone consult helped me way back when I could not even eat a salad and I had gained so much weight from a violent attack at a doctors in New York City -- New York City is an upside down city -- we're talking zero integrity at a medical office Soho NYC Dr Andrew Fagelman and I was Dr Vine's patient but he did not provide a safe medical office and protected my patient rights and body violated! I wasn't safe!

True North is awesome safe ethical and even on the phone - phone consults excellent!!!!!! True north the doctors are so smart I have so much integrity.

I worked with Dr. Klaper before he left and also did a phone consult with a nutritionist he was excellent. Today I just had an amazing phone consult with Dr. V. I am suffering from severe insomnia PTSD almost 7 years I don't have justice I'm continuing to fight for justice and it's taking a toll on my body at age 57 I am having problems with fibroid tumors and insomnia and PTSD and just had a phenomenal conversation just feel hopeful and grateful . It's rough at age 57 to cope with very difficult side effects of fibroid tumors amplified by trauma and insomnia chronic insomnia from the attack violence lies and gaslighting! Dr Fagelman chose not to investigate what happened and chose to discuss me lying about what happened to his patients!

Ironic I can't get this kind of care in New York City that I get from True North!

Oct 1, 2012 NYC 155 Spring St I wasn't even safe at a doctors who got fixing in favors from unethical corrupt NYPD -- it's so outrageous, unethical, hard to cope with. Google Dr Fagelman assault youtube.

I felt so hopeless for so many years -- for me over eating comes from a place of hopelessness - I gained so much weight --- I'm still having problems with sleep but what an amazing conversation with Dr V from TrueNorth. I feel like I'll be able to one day reclaim my true self rather than the daily quicksand of lack of ethics and corruption that NYC, NYPD, Dr Fagelman etc have come to represent! My goal is reclaim my health and happiness but I've been waiting for justice and accountability New York so it's been very hard.

Have to remind myself there are good people there are ethical people and that I will get Justice however long it takes.

My focus has to be on working on healing from being violated at Dr Andrew Fagelman's 155 Spring St and my MD dr Vine rented space from him --- he's reminds me of Jeffrey Epstein/maxwell and his employee Delite Hooks he didn't fire --- everything that's on going with the lack of remorse and accountability.

They are go back in the loop of PTSD that keeps me up and shocks me each day my goal is to find my true north and to heal....

It's peaceful atmosphere is perfect for healing and contemplation. The food is unusual but not bad. The staff is friendly, supportive, and helpful. There's a lot of materials available to help you on your journey towards wellness.

Was there for three weeks. Lost 20 pounds, blood pressure in five days went from 130/80 to 110/66. Dr Goldhamer and his entire staff is amazing, great lectures and the medical supervision was very helpful. Staying on a plant based diet also not using salt, sugar and oil I have maintained the wt. loss and the blood pressure. Plan to go again for a shorter stay. Chuck I enjoy your recipes thank you so much for all you do

Most people don t believe in it but when you try it and go through it that s when you start knowing the truth .My wife and I got very healthy with the water fasting and Researching and talk to other people and this place is the truth of our body.Doctors will tell you one thing but you also have to know the condition your in and what you re eating and what your at doing everyday that is harmful to you body.

I wouldn t go here for Chiropractic if you don t wanna end up getting bruised. My mom went here and had her shoulder muscle girdle bruised and swollen for weeks. She left in worse condition.

A joke, they never answer their phone or return your call

TrueNorth laid the foundation for my current WFPB and SOS lifestyle and is worth every penny. I completed a 21 day water-fast in 2017 and never looked back. My health significantly improved and I am no longer at risk for diseases in my family (diabetes, CVD, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity). The staff and teachers are excellent, compassionate, and huge champions in your success. A big shout-out to the amazing kitchen and housekeeping staff whose personalized customer service made every day a great one!

I have just completed a 40 day extended water only Fast here at True North. I came from Europe to this facility and am happy to say I made the best possible choice available globally to me. 24/7 medical care/supervision by dedicated caring professionals, not only this the food is second to none, and with daily lectures, cooking classes etc. plenty to keep yourself occupied. Pay a visit to Dr Alan Goldhamer and the Team, you will not be disappointed.

Nine months ago I stayed at True North Health Center for about a week and it truly was a life changing experience. I loved the education , that is the evidence based education that I got their. One of the reasons I had been turned off by the vegan diet was all the B.S. that went along with it. It was so refreshing to get a quality education by medical personal that left all the weird stuff out of it.
The staff was the best and I met amazing people from all over the world. A lot of the people their were facing extremely challenging medical issues and were so impressive and courageous!
It is a very "simple place" yet heals far more than money can buy. Extremely reasonably priced! The only downside to the place is that the building is old and need lots of TLC.
The food looks beautiful, but the reality is (and there is no getting around it) it takes time to get use to it. My first meal I thought "what the hell is this, I can't eat like this". I have to say I did not really accumulate until 4 months into it.
Part of my review is not only about my experience there, but also the significance it played in how it changed my life.
Before True North health center I was relatively healthy. I wasn't over weight , I was free of the typical chronic american diseases and had pretty impressive # in terms of cholesterol and such. I am also an endurance athlete. Compared to most westerners I ate a very healthy, low fat diet. but I loved my ice cream and sea food.
I was; however, miserable with aches and pains ( shoulders , knees and hips) and I was only 49 years old. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and I had to switch gears entirely with my sports and gave up running very, very reluctantly. A few months before I came to True North I was diagnosed with systemic lupus. To this day I am not buying into my exact diagnosis; but I am certain it was auto-immune in nature. I do also have asthma and have taken medicine since childhood for it.
The types of medications that were recommended to me were not ones I wanted to mess with so off to the internet I went. I wasn't heavily pursuing anything alternative, I really ended up at True North on a whim. I was going to the coast to camp the following week and thought, why not. I was fairly local anyways and pain is a motivator.
I eat completely different now. I hate to cook! I mean I HATE to cook and I now have a kitchen that is stocked with a vitamix, pressure cookers, spiralizer and all sorts of cool gadgets that make life easier. Every three weeks or so I have a major cooking day where I make huge batches of food and freeze them so that I have little prep and cooking to do during the work week. Did I mention I have to cook!
I feel great. Very minimal aches and pains. A "foggy brain" that I did not know I had , lifted. I have gotten a bit leaner , which every athlete loves. I take no meds for my so called lupus , and I take a lot less asthma meds then I ever did. Rarely touch the tylenols and such. I have decided to go back to having coffee in the am and occasional alcohol, so I don't follow the recommended life style to a "T". No coffee, sugar, artificial sweeteners, salt or oils is even allowed on the premises.

oK, So it's not magic. Part of my little dreamy self thought , maybe I will be able to run long distance again. The truth is, try that I may I can only run short distances and only a couple of times a week or my hip pain comes back. Oh well, I have a beautiful new bike!
This may sound more like a testimonial of my post experience as opposed to a review of the place. But, in my opinion, when reviewing something like this it's true worth is in what it produces when you leave the place.
Thank you so much for all the little hero's at True North.
Thank you , Dr. GoldHammer and your great staff. Special thanks to Dr. Klapper., (I would have married him in another life- what a great man for humanity).
And a special thanks to all the great cooking demo teachers!!!
Forever grateful!

We stayed here last year for their winter Extravaganza and the food and activities were excellent. I highly recommend visiting here at least once to reset your food preferences and gain a healthier perspective on life.

Subscribes to an intense juice and then water fasting regime, but they apparently get results. It was rough going for me, and I didn't see the sort of health shift I'd hoped for. While water fasting, they ask you to promise not to leave the (very small) grounds. The grounds consist of an apartment style building around a small courtyard and a covered parking lot. There are no nature paths to walk or sights to see. Staff come into rooms to check vitals each morning - and sometimes entered my room for unknown reasons when I was out. The owner/doctor & his son are odd birds. I came back to my room to find the owner standing in the bedroom just glancing around the room. He just walked out, right past me without saying a word, when I walked in on him there. Some of the rooms have a lot of street noise & a moldy odor permeating from the bathroom. The wireless internet doesn't work in all rooms either. But, I heard from other guests about the life changing results they'd already achieved - during several weeks of water fasting. You'll definitely lose weight!

Comfortable atmosphere, kind staff, good education, good felt. Felt like a safe place to get my health back.

Dropped my LDL from 260 to 42 following there program, what can I say

Dr. Goldhamer was certain that a short fast would relieve me of issues: an autoimmune condition, a little excess weight that remained despite years on a vegan diet, and difficulty avoiding flours & sugars. So I spent a couple grand of hard earned money and did a week-long water fast at Truenorth. Briefly, autoimmune situation improved some but there was no ultimate remission. The sugar and flour addiction returned in full force within a couple months. Lost 12 pounds at Truenorth, however, in less than a year I regained that plus even MORE. Now I'm 10 pounds heavier than what I weighed before the Truenorth fast! Perhaps fasts turn some people's bodies into more efficient fat-storing machines... so beware if you are fasting for weight loss purposes!! Admittedly, one person there had recovered from Rheumatoid Arthritis with a water fast (and some people from other conditions). However, I have no idea if this was sustained after they left the facility. As a matter of fact, I met a few people who had fasted there previously and then had to return again for their issues. The accommodations were ok; it's like living in an apartment complex with total strangers, some of whom are normal and some of whom are insane. Nearly all of the doctors and medical assistants seem completely burned out and are not friendly; the non-medical staff is a little better, however. Dr. Lisle gave a presentation, or rather a Q&A (he didn't bother preparing a topic). Then he was condescending and rude in responding to our questions. He also arrived late, but so did several of the other doctors giving presentations. You are given a DVD binder of over 40 lectures to view while you are there. The lectures are mostly available on Youtube (search: Klaper, McDougall, Novick, Goldhamer, or any plant based physician really) or buy through Amazon. The chef demos included making SOS free ketchup one day (Kathy Fisher) and vegetable broth another day (Ramses Bravo), not exactly rocket science. You can take yoga and stretching classes while you are there, but not many fasters attended (too groggy and weak for even those activities). Bottom line: I would not return again as the water fast did not resolve my health issues.

The woman who is booking you in was so incredibly rude and unprofessional, made me feel so bad (considering that I m suppose to be coming to the center to heal) so I decided to switch to Florida water fast center!

I went to True North because I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I stayed for 5 weeks which included a 21 day fast as well as a re-feed. I really was stunned by how quickly my body responded to the fasting. My pain and stiffness disappeared and I was able to avoid the toxic medications which had been recommended. I have been able to get back into hiking and swimming, my home diet has completely changed and my overall health is tremendously better.

The staff and medical personnel are attentive, caring and knowledgeable. The food is fantastic and satisfying. The camaraderie between the patients makes the experience truly effective and rewarding.

I strongly recommend True North to anyone who wants to take control of his/her health. I have already suggested visits to several family members and friends.

Best place in world for getting cured. Doctors &. Staff are so good at figuring out your body.
Totally trust their program . Love the food.
