Patient Stories

I was terrified of chemotherapy and had read so much conflicting information online about supplements. Dr Kloppenburg was the first person who could give me clear, evidence-based answers about what was safe and what wasn't. She helped me understand which supplements to stop, which to continue, and introduced mistletoe therapy. My oncologist commented that I tolerated my chemotherapy unusually well. I genuinely believe the integrative support made a difference.

After finishing radiotherapy, I felt completely abandoned by the medical system. My PSA was stable but I was exhausted, my diet was poor, and I was anxious about recurrence. Dr Kloppenburg gave me a structured plan — specific mushroom extracts, a nutritional protocol, and clear guidance on the lifestyle changes with the best evidence for reducing recurrence risk in prostate cancer. For the first time since my diagnosis, I felt like I was doing something active to protect my health.

I had been ill for 18 months with Long COVID and had seen multiple specialists who couldn't offer much beyond 'rest and wait.' Dr Kloppenburg took a completely different approach — she looked at my blood results in detail, identified several nutritional deficiencies that hadn't been picked up, and created a structured protocol. The hypnotherapy for sleep was something I was sceptical about, but it genuinely helped. I'm not fully recovered, but I'm significantly better than I was.

My oncologist was initially sceptical about integrative medicine, but Dr Kloppenburg provided a detailed clinical letter explaining exactly what she was recommending and why, with references to the evidence. He read it and said he had no objections. That professional communication made a huge difference — it meant my whole team was on the same page. I felt supported from both sides, which was exactly what I needed.

I had been diagnosed with CFS for four years and had tried many things. What was different with Dr Kloppenburg was the rigour — she didn't just recommend supplements, she tested for deficiencies first, explained the rationale for each recommendation, and was honest about what the evidence did and didn't support. She treated me as an intelligent adult who could understand the science. That respect made a real difference to my engagement with the treatment plan.

I specifically sought out Dr Kloppenburg because I had read about Turkey Tail mushrooms and their evidence in colorectal cancer. I wanted someone who could prescribe pharmaceutical-grade extracts, not just point me to a health food shop. She was thorough, evidence-based, and very clear about what we know and what we don't. I now feel I have a proper long-term survivorship plan, not just surveillance appointments.
