I have always suffered from incapacitating seasonal allergies. Over-the-counter medication offered some relief while prescription medication (Zyrtek, Claritin, Allegra) offered none. I could not start my day without taking some allergy medication. My chronic allergy attacks often brought on sinus infections. Because I had taken antibiotics so often, they no longer seemed to work. Looking for an alternative solution, I discovered the Center for Natural Cures.
I first saw Sharon in the spring of 2001 after having two sinus infections in a four-month period, which antibiotics failed to alleviate. She explained to me that my immune system was out of balance. She said that our goal was to regulate my immune system, thereby allowing my body to naturally cope with the things I was allergic to.
Within a week of my first treatment, my sinus infection cleared and my energy levels were up. After a couple more treatments, I could walk outside in peak tree pollen season and not sneeze. Today, I feel fantastic. I no longer have to stuff my pockets with tissue and carry allergy medicine around.
The key to a cure is to accept the process, which can seem a little strange. The process defies modern medicine by allowing your own body to communicate its own ailments. Because of this, I feel more in tune with my body than I ever have. I feel good that I have not taken chemicals to alleviate symptoms. Instead, I relied on natural medicine and acupuncture to work with my body to cure my allergies. Thanks to Sharon, I can now enjoy the spring and summer.

I was first diagnosed with endometriosis early 2000. The pain before menstruation each month was excruciating and unbearable. All my gynecologist could offer were prescribing painkillers and hysterectomy. I also experienced severe fatigue. I was virtually bedridden two weeks out of a month. I had to quit my job due to the illness.
I got in touch with Sharon fan through a Chinese physician in home town of Singapore. After gathering enough information about BioSETTM, we made the trip to Dr. Fan's clinic in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sharon did a number of BioSETTM treatments on me in 4 days. In the course of those 4 days, she balanced my immune system and hormonal system. The pain has dramatically reduced since the treatments. She also evaluated my digestion and recommended proper enzymes which helped eliminating my bloating, stomach discomfort and fatigue. I feel like a new person now.
Due to time limit, I was not able to finish the treatment program with Sharon and I am not yet 100% cured of endometriosis, but at least I can live a normal life. That has been a big achievement for me!

Words could never express my gratitude to you. For years Western doctors told me that I could never have a baby and they literally discouraged me from getting pregnant. When I came to your office fo
r my first appointmen
t, I left for the first time with hope. Believe it or not, I started looking forward to my Fridays off because I knew that I would be seeing you. I would leave your practice feeling totally invigorated and at peace and it was felt by everyone around me. After five months of treatments we decided to begin trying to conceive again, and we got pregnant in a matter of two weeks. I was still a bit worried when I became pregnant, since I had already had several miscarriages, but you were always in my corner ready to administer treatment and a listening ear. Thanks to you, we were able to have not only one but two bouncy girls, born on October 21st 2001 and May 15th 2003 named Mya Kimora and Tiffiny.

Having been suffering from hypothyroidism for two years, I came to see Sharon with my blood TSH level at 147.6. After six treatments with her, my TSH level came down to a normal reading of 3.3. I feel like my old self again!

Two herniated discs and arthritis in a third disc left me in excruciating pain for two years. After being treated by two orthopedists, two physical therapists, two massage therapists, two pain management specialists and a chiropractor, I was still unable to sit, stand, walk or sleep without copious amounts of pain medication. After just three sessions with Sharon, who treated me with a combination of EFT and acupuncture, I am completely pain-free. I can once again run and do yoga daily, and I am incredibly thankful to Sharon for allowing me to regain control of my life.

I developed asthma and severe eczema 13 years ago when I was 40. I had been on multiple medications and using a Nebulizer on a regular basis. And I was still sick all year around. That all changed since I started seeing you about a year and half ago. Now I'm off most of my medications and cannot remember the last time I used the Nebulizer. My skin has cleared up. I'm able to enjoy the outdoors and playing with my grandchildren. In the past year I did not get sick even once. I can smell for the first time in 13 years!
I can't thank you enough!

“Is she crazy?” I first thought when Dr. Fan suggested that the origin of my twisted spine was in my mouth. It ends up she was not. Dr. Fan did what five osteopaths, two physical therapists, an orthopedist, and a physiatrist could not: She traced the source of my longstanding back pain to skeletal misalignment emanating from my jaw. She and the biological dentist she referred me to have given my life back after five long, painful years. I recommend her in the strongest terms to anyone looking for a fresh eye on a recalcitrant problem whose source can be overlooked by Western medical providers not trained to view the body as a whole.

Sharon Fan has made such a difference in our lives. My husband had headaches for which he took a variety of over-the-counter pills. He took so many that he gave himself an ulcer. A friend recommended we visit Sharon. Not only is he headache free, but he has a sunnier disposition. And I can now eat foods which I avoided for 25 years. Also, I don't sniff with every breath. So, our immune systems are up and running. And she has taught us how to respond to problems by trying to keep our emotions in check. She is a full-service operation. I always tell people "run, don't walk" to see Sharon Fan.

Dr. Sharon Fan changed my life. Twenty three years ago I had viral meningitis, chicken pox, Epstein Barr virus and HHV-6 at the same time. My immune system has never been the same. For many many many years I was only out of my house a couple of days a month. I caught everything that came my way. I was on antibiotics for 300 days in 1999. After the initial session with Dr. Fan, my swollen glands and spleen were remarkably improved. I stopped running fevers regularly. After two more sessions, my endocrine and reproductive systems started to get back on track. For the first time in 23 years, my infections and fibromyalgia were not dictating my life.
I HAVE SO MUCH MORE ENERGY AND IT IS BECAUSE OF DR. SHARON FAN. If you have chronic viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome or chronic pain, try to get in and see Dr. Fan. She is an extraordinary healer. After seeing numerous doctors who prescribed many medications to treat the symptoms but never healed my illness, I can say that Dr. Fan is the real deal. She has significantly improved my immune system so that I can finally fight off infections. She has given me a better life. I have seen her for a year now and I get up three to four hours earlier every day. She has given me more time with my family and my quality of life has improved 100%. I have also taken my four year old daughter to see Dr. Fan. She is WONDERFUL with children and has helped her with stomach problems, allergies and overall well being. Thank you Dr. Fan!

"Sharon Fan is an amazing doctor. She is more knowledgeable, gifted and calming than any other medical professional I have yet to encounter. She is kind and skilful.
Sharon has an impressive holistic understanding of the body, and how to address multiple, complicated diagnosis. She is gifted with simplifying complex subjects for the patient and helping them to feel empowered that they can pull through it. I have experienced her as very encouraging, and truly helpful. She diagnosed me with things that western medicine does not even look for, and that I have suffered with for years. Now I am healing, and am excited for my new found health, and positive outlook. I also feel grateful to her for helping me to learn so much more than I ever knew about health and nutrition, and for showing me that gentle ways exist to heal the body."
