My eczema, hair growth and acid reflux GERD has improved due to chelation and the supplements I was given! Definitely have improved symptoms other than weight loss!

After a year of agony and torment of seeing my primary doctor and several specialists. I realized that my current medical conditions were beyond their scope. With what started with one medical problem quickly resulted in a snowball effect. Through a series of incorrect diagnosis and recommendations which made my medical condition worsen throughout my time.

For EXAMPLE, I was prescribed so much antibiotics which deprived me of my good bacteria, which helps digest your food and fight invading microbes. This really affected my health. None of the doctors who prescribed me antibiotics ever recommended me probiotics to help retrieve my good bacteria. So over period of time I kept getting sicker and sicker. Just completely OFF, losing weight, hair loss, brain fog, tired all the time, and last but not least overgrowth of Candida.

Then I was fortunate to find  Dr. Lalezar on Google, I read and read. I was just amazed and almost felt a sense of relief once I read her reviews.

She tested me for EVERYTHING; urine, blood, etc.. Very meticulous in her process. After testing she discovered not only I had one problem but I had high mercury levels and toxins in my body. That’s why I wasn’t able to recover even though I tried several cleanses. She needed to clean me out from all the mercury and toxicity. So a series of Chelations was a MUST.

So after completing my series of sessions (chelations) I am COMPLETELY back to normal. I’m so thankful that I found Dr. Lalezar.I have never met a doctor more knowledgeable and attentive towards each of her patients. The level of comfort she made me feel by explaining why things were unfolding the way they were, I knew right there she was the BEST doctor for the job. She truly is very professional and knowledgeable. Also her entire staff is amazing and very friendly.

Thank you once again Dr. Lalezar.

I suffered from fibromyalgia for a decade.  Doctors urged me to take way too many prescription pain killers, antidepressants and muscle relaxers but I got no relief, just a bunch of horrible side effects.  I even did an experimental treatment for many years but nothing helped.  I ended up taking myself off all drugs and just dealing with the pain and fatigue the best I could.  (A lot of baths, yoga, cussing and wine.  Lots of wine.)

A friend told me about Dr. Lalezar and I decided to give her a shot.  She was the first doctor who didn’t just try to fix the symptoms by throwing drugs at me.  She actually tested everything (blood, urine, stool sample, saliva sample, etc.) to see what was going on.  Through the testing, she discovered I had high levels of mercury.  I did chelation to get rid of it and I feel COMPLETELY BETTER.  All of my fibromyalgia symptoms are gone.  Gone.  I never had fibromyalgia, I had mercury toxicity but Dr. Lalezar was the first doctor to correctly diagnose me.  In ten years.

I am super grateful to have found a doctor like this, a doctor who actually listens to you and pulls out all the stops to help.  My only regret is not finding her earlier, before the ten years of needless drugs and dealing with pain for no reason.

If you have a health issue, trust Dr. Lalezar.  I’m really glad I did.

When I found Dr Lalazar (Heath & Vitality Center) I was lethargic, couldn’t lose weight, my hair was falling out and I could barley function. She immediately identified my symptoms, my life and the phenomena I was having as vitamin depletion & heavy metal poisoning from my old fillings. She drew blood to test me and immediately hooked me up to IV drip vitamins. She referred me to a holistic dentist whom removed my fillings then started me up on Chelation (IV drips that pull the heavy metals out of your body) in addition to Vitamin drips.

6 weeks from my initial visit I was doing Pilates every day (never had done that before) and hiking again. 4 weeks into Chelation (after my 6th drip) weight started just falling off of me and my energy level was that of when I was in my 20’s and everybody was noticing!!!

It is now 6 months later and I went to pick up my daughter from school (out of state). People that have known me for years, other parents and staff, did not recognize me from the last time I was there 4 months prior. For once in my life I was not “dieting” and my body was actually enjoying the exercise, I finally felt my body doing what it was designed for. I would recommend Dr Lalazar & her amazing staff to the world!!

This review is long but thorough, and I encourage anyone suffering from what I have suffered from (for years) to read on. I have been seeing Dr. Lalezar for 2 years and I can honestly say that she and her staff have given me back my life. Prior to seeing Dr. Lalezar I had: hair loss, weight gain, eczema all over my body, acne, brain fog, insomnia, lethargy, aches/pains and depression. I would have terrible mood swings and anxiety two weeks before my period, every month like clockwork. I was a monster, and I just couldn’t control myself. I wouldn’t leave my home during these times because I was afraid of getting into fights with co-workers, strangers at grocery stores and restaurants. My relationships with my friends, family and partner were all suffering as a result of my mood swings. Every month,  2 weeks before my period, I felt crazy. And not ha-ha crazy. I was a monster.

I saw several doctors in the 5 years prior to seeing Dr. Lalezar that 1) either didn’t know what I had and didn’t care to run any other labs besides the standard CBC and BMP, and  2) simply dismissed me as being depressed and prescribed anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds. I have been on oral and topical steroids for my eczema for 5+ years and it was actually getting worse as months went by. Doctors were baffled, so they would just prescribe a different steroid. Other docs would put me on a cocktail of anti-anxiety and anti-depressants and constantly switch out meds to try and figure out what combo would work.  No combination of meds and/or steroids ever worked to alleviate my symptoms, not even a little.

I did my own research on mood swings that only happened during the 2 weeks before my period and wondered if I had PMDD. I was finally able to get an appointment at UCLA with doctors that specialized in PMDD and they confirmed the diagnosis. It was a relief to have a diagnosis (even if it wasn’t a good one) but it still didn’t explain the eczema, hair loss and acne. The UCLA docs continued my medication cocktail and I had some relief. I knew that I was going to get good, but standard treatment at UCLA and I wanted something more. I figured there had to be some sort of alternative therapies that could help me. That’s when I started looking for doctors providing alternative treatments for PMDD in the LA area and found Dr. Lalezar.

When I first saw Dr. Lalezar, I explained my entire history, brought labs from my previous doctors and all my medications that I had ever been on that did not work. I was apprehensive and almost expected to be dismissed again. But she didn’t dismiss me and instead, she promised we would get to the bottom of my issues. She is the ONLY doctor that has ever vowed to get to the bottom of my issues. She ran slew of hormone studies and found that I had low progesterone and testosterone. No other doctor had run hormone tests even though I told them I only had the mood swings before my period. Dr. Lalezar prescribed bio-identical hormone creams to treat the hormone deficiencies. I felt about 75% better with hormone replacement therapy. I was very happy with the outcome, but Dr. Lalezar wanted me to feel 100% better and decided to run more tests. That’s when she found that I had mercury toxicity from old fillings. She asked (did not demand) that I stop my cocktails of meds and steroids from the previous doctors. Since they weren’t really helping anyway, I had no problem stopping.

I immediately had my fillings removed and started IV chelation and vitamin therapy over the course of 14 weeks. The first 4 sessions, I felt worse, but I knew it was the mercury being mobilized from my tissues that needed to be excreted. By the 5th session, I was starting to feel better. I noticed my eczema clearing up and a bald patch on my head was starting to fill in. Treatment days made me so tired, but overall I felt better and my partner said that he was no longer of afraid of me during those two weeks before my period.  By the end of my 10th treatment, I felt normal. I hadn’t felt normal in years. My hair was growing back, my eczema completely cleared up, my acne disappeared, brain fog was gone, I could sleep, depression was non-existent and best of all, I wasn’t a monster before my period anymore.

I have continued to take all the supplements recommended by Dr. Lalezar. Again, these were recommended, she didn’t demand that I take them. Also, the nurses that do the IV therapy are so kind and patient and made the treatments much more tolerable.

Now, I’ll address the negative remarks that I have seen posted on yelp. Treatments are expensive and most are not covered by ANY insurance. It has nothing to do with the dr. prescribing them, it has to do with insurance. There IS a parking lot adjacent to the office. Dr. Lalezar and her staff are nothing but kind and courteous. I have seen patients be horrible to the Dr and her staff and yet they maintain their kindness and professionalism. I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Lalezar.
