The following stories were all submitted by real patients (who we fondly call “co-learners”) about their experience at the Riordan Clinic. As you read through the comments you will see that many of their journeys often include a variety of “chapters” and that the culmination of these paints the full picture of what we’ve come to know as REAL HEALTH. Sometimes the Riordan Clinic is the integral piece that has been the turning point for them, other times we are just one part of a much larger puzzle. This type of medicine is not passive. It requires the person to take an active role by changing their approach to health, their lifestyle, their daily nutrition, and even their way of thinking. Whatever role the Riordan Clinic may play in your journey – we hope that you find hope and healing through your time here.

Kelli Ann Rollins of Shawnee, Oklahoma, was a busy mom of four in the early summer of 2022. She was looking forward to a family vacation to Utah and another summer trip to celebrate her 15th wedding anniversary to her husband, Jeb. The family’s summer plans changed dramatically after Kelli Ann found a lump in her breast. Although her recovery was traumatic, she has found a new way to well with the help of Riordan Clinic and Dr. Kirsten West, ND, LAc, FABNO.
Jamie Bernard has found a community with more than 700 co-learners on Instagram after her second breast cancer diagnosis. She created the handle @cansurvivegal on the social media site after sharing some of her experiences on her personal page.
Jamie, 36, of Boston, shares food suggestions, favorite organic products, ideas, her survival story, and the occasional picture of her fiancé, Nick Constantine, and Charlie, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She said she doesn’t provide any medical advice, but offers resources – often directing those interested to the Riordan Clinic.
She said her experiences at the Riordan Clinic helped her create a treatment protocol that is helping her health today.
“The Riordan Clinic was really a place that changed my life. It was the biggest pivotal thing we did that put me on the path to not only healing but being cured,” she said.
As Meredith Trexler Drees rode with her husband, Jeff, to her family’s farm near Hill City, Kansas on the day of her breast cancer diagnosis, she had no idea she would be walking the campus at the University of Notre Dame a little less than two years later.
“I remember on the day that I was diagnosed, I told my husband as we were driving back out to the farm I thought I was going home to die,” she said, recalling that her initial perspective was limited because she didn’t know about options beyond conventional care.
Meredith, 38, was diagnosed in February 2021 with a large, cancerous tumor in her left breast, with a spot that had grown into her sternum. She had two weeks to wait before she could get more scans, so she and Jeff headed toward her family in Hill City.
Scleroderma started small for Denise Douty, 49, of Wichita. Her fingers felt funny after scraping her windshield on a frigid January morning in 2019. Not thinking much of it at first, she assumed it would go away. It didn’t.
Not long after, she began experiencing joint pain, which became increasingly debilitating. As the year progressed, so did her pain. Denise had a job teaching a graduate school class at a Wichita-area college that summer. She said the pain was getting so bad she began to doubt if she would be able to walk across campus. She also worked as a licensed counselor and could hardly show up for appointments because of the exhaustion and pain.
Having no primary care physician of her own, she saw her wife, Cindy’s, doctor, who referred her to a rheumatologist. During the four-month wait for her appointment her symptoms continued to worsen.
“By that time, I thought I was just dying,” Denise said. “I was feeling awful and could hardly work.”
“It’s as that first doctor here said, I’m not here to treat cancer. I’m here to treat the whole entire Jenny. And that’s the thing that’s probably stuck with me the most of why do I keep coming back and why do I keep doing IVCs and other treatments? It’s because it’s supporting my whole entire body.”

“At age 67, I found myself going downhill energy wise. Go to bed tired, get up tired. My doctor wanted me on a statin for high cholesterol and kept saying I was sick because of my sleep apnea. Started treatment at Riordan Clinic when tests showed my levels needed attention. No Vitamin C in my body, and low magnesium. Now 3 months into tests of IV Vitamin C and supplements, I am back on track with energy.”
“My experience with the mini-Myers (IV Vitamin C with other nutrients) has been nothing less than amazing! The total IV time is 25-30 minutes and is easy to have done. My energy is much improved and the terrible sores on my arms are healing very quickly. Also, my skin tone is much improved. Thank you so much!”
“I would recommend this clinic to everyone. I have been there for a weekly visit for eight weeks & life is so worth living again. To have energy is wonderful.”
