Katrina Tang Medicine
Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Tang, M.D., H.M.D., a recently retired certified Homeopathic doctor and physician from Reno, Nevada. It has been my life's mission to treat others through alternative forms of medicine. One of my more recent crusades is against the very debilitating disease of Lyme Disease which is more common and actually more treatable than most people realize. Below, I'd like to pass along a brief article and a few testimonials about the different effects of it.
Some time ago, I had the pleasure of treating one of the most famous singers and entertainers in the world, Randy Travis. He took the time to write this brief testimonial for me regarding his treatment:
Beware of a Silent Epidemic: Lyme Disease
by Randy Travis
Health and fitness has always been important to me. I work out six days a week, take supplements and healthy nutrition. However, one morning in 1995 when I went to answer a telephone call, I could not speak. Shocked and frightened, my first thought was that I had lost my voice and quite possibly my singing career. After a voice specialist in Nashville found nothing wrong with my throat or vocal cords, i started searching for an answer through many sources and eventually found a very special doctor and clinic, Dr. Katrina Tang at the Sierra Integrative Medical Center in Reno, Nevada. This clinic found the "cause" of my problem and with their treatment returned my voice to me. Since then, from time to time, I go back to thic clinic for preventative care which protects my health.
Lyme disease is frequently called "Great Imposter" and is often misdiagnosed as other diseases such as Alzheimer's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, and others. It turns out that Lyme disease can cause many different sympsoms such as chronic fatigue, headache, weight gain or loss, vision problems, ringing in the ears, hearing loss and a broad range of other symptoms as well.
Life is wonderful. Singing is my career with good health and music can bring happiness to the world. If you have some of the above symptoms or any unknown health problems, please contact a Lyme disease physician immediately. Dr. Katrina Tang was crucial in helping me with my treatment and recovery. Be sure to find a specialist in your area for yours.

Testimonial for Dr. Katrina Tang of Reno, Nevada
In the spring of 1994, I felt an overwhelming fatigue that no amount of sleep would relieve. The natural reaction was, "this is just something that is going around and it will pass." Weeks went by and the symptoms did not pass. When I went ty my family doctor, he noticed that my hands were blue, making him suspicious of Raynaud's Syndrome. In the time that followed, my need for help increased and the simplest task seemed to exhaust me. His last resort was to send me to an Infectious Disease Specialist where I was finallly diagnosed with Lyme disease. I spent the next seven years of my life on oral and IV antibiotics. Lyme disease is a very debilitating illness. Even walking in the house was a painful challenge. In the world of standard medicine, antibiotics are the all that is used to treat Lyme. And in "late stage" Lyme [what I had at this point] antibiotics are no cure.
I read about Dr. Katrina Tang and her clinic on the Internet and when I came to the clinic, it was such a pleasant differently different experience. I have never met anyone like her. If I were to write to Reader's digest about the most unforgettable person I have ever known, next to my husband, it would have to be Katrina Tang. She takes the time to completely individualize each person's treatment plan. Dr. Tang is an excellent diagnostician.
I was so releaved when I was told that my case could be treated. At last, someone with a solution! I believe this is not only a scientific approach to Lyme disease, but also an art that has been perfected over a long period of time. In my experience, it was a process that was comparable to peeling a way the layers of an onion until you are rid of the unwanted portions. The pain is now manageable. I can walk!!! The brain inflamation is minimal, and I have re-entered the "real world." Today, my mother has a daughter, my children have their mother and my husband has his wife back. I owe it all to you Dr. Katrina Tang. Thank you! - Jayne Lundy, Independence, MO
Testimonial for Dr. Katrina Tang of Reno, Nevada
I suffered from Lyme disease for ten years before I came to Sierra Integrative Medical Center and Dr. Katrina Tang. My life before acquiring this insidious, debilitating malady was generally free of health problems, with rigorous work schedule complemented by exercise and outdoor home activity.
This all changed when my wife discovered a small tick embedded behind my knee, surrouned by a red circle. Removing the tick, we took it to the hospital where they cleanted the wound, but they lost the tick, eliminating the possibility of testing it for Lyme disease. When early testing of me proved inconclusive, I determined on my own through reading available literature that I was a prime candidate.
Most of my symptoms were somewhat fleeting and waxing and waning. All of this was punctuated by the intermittent taking of a series of antibiotics, some of which would seemingly work for a while, but less so with each renewed need and application.
I was going nowhere, having no hope of getting better, while becoming progressively more injured, handicapped,and inactive. What I found by visiting Dr. Katrina Tang was a revelation. The staff at the SIMC were knowledgeable of all aspects of medicine and clinically thorough accompanied by a warming air of compasion and understanding, all of which was confidence building. A battery of the most comprehensive tests that I have yet experience was administered. I spent seven weeks in treatment. Now my blood is clear and there is no signs of infection. The Lyme is gone. I am feeling progressively better and gaining strengh with every day. I was blessed to have found these wonderful people, especially Dr. Katrina Tang, who have given me hope for a more meaningful existence. I am completely in their debt and will remain committed to them for my health care for the rest of my life! - Hal Strack, Incline Village, NV
