Board Certified in Clinical Nutrition
Hi, my
name is Dr. Doron Kahana and I am a Board Certified Pediatric
Gastroenterologist with an additional Board Certification in Clinical Nutrition.
After completing my training in Chicago, Israel, Minnesota
and UCLA, I was on faculty at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where I directed a
specialty clinic for patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I currently serve as the Medical
Director at the Center for Digestive Health & Nutritional Excellence
(CDHNE), a clinic in Torrance, California, that focuses on integrating medical
nutrition with conventional therapy for GI disease.
Seven
months ago I was introduced to Innerzyme, a line of natural enzyme supplements
from a local nutraceutical company, founded and directed by Katie Jodscheidt. I had previously prescribed
pharmaceutical-grade enzymes, such as lipases and pancreases, as well as
over-the-counter enzymes, but my experience with Innerzyme has superceded my
previous ones. I first implemented
Innerzyme’s Digestive Enzyme Complex and Papaya Enzyme Chewable into my
practice and patients reported that it was easy to administer with a very quick
rate of onset and symptom relief. I have
since also started incorporating Innerzyme’s Pain & Inflammation Blend with
similar results.
I
honestly think that Innerzyme’s product is superior to most other enzymes
available on the market. It is natural,
easy to administer, quick in onset, and yields great results for patients with
a large gamut of clinical conditions, from indigestion and reflux, to bloating,
gassiness, and diarrhea. I
have given out many samples and quite often patients return reporting
significant benefit and ask to purchase the product. The price is very
reasonable and comparable to similar products on the market, but I trust
Innerzyme after having had the chance to discuss the manufacturing process with
Katie and after seeing the significant benefit to my patients, beyond that of
other, generic digestive enzymes.
As a Pediatrician, I often
prescribe dietary modification for nursing moms whose children present with
colic, reflux, eczema, and sometimes frank bloody stools. Allergic proctitis in infancy is not uncommon
and current standard therapy is to switch formula to a “hydrolyzed” or
pre-digested formula. I have added
Innerzyme to mom’s regimen and have observed a significant improvement in the
nursing child’s clinical symptoms. It
makes sense, since extensive digestion reduces the antigenicity of food and may
thus help with symptom relief, from reflux and colic to eczema, which is an
immune-mediated disease.
Digestive enzymes may indeed represent
a paradigm shift in the care of gastrointestinal issues, from peptic disease
and functional dyspepsia to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable
bowel syndrome, food sensitivity, and malabsorption. My ultimate goal is to “graduate” my patients
to complete wellness through specialized care and education. Since adding Innerzyme into my practice, I am
very pleased to see improved results in my graduation rates.
I highly recommend Innerzyme
and feel it is a great addition to my clinical practice. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions or concerns.
Best in health,
