ABOUT

Testimonials


L.B. Lakewood, CO

"Dr. Barter is a unicorn in the world of medicine. She has an uncanny ability to combine specialized medical knowledge, labwork and her biochemistry background to diagnose and treat sub-clinical conditions. Quality of life - for those who follow through on the protocols, which can require patience - as a result is unparalleled, and her care is worth every penny."

H.S. Billings, MT

Lyme Literate Doctor

"I miraculously found Dr. B during the most difficult season of my life. I had seen many other MD’s and DO’s yet none had thought to test me for Lyme. The treatment journey was painful and difficult but I changed my whole lifestyle, followed her instructions and treatment plan. Yes, Lyme tx. gets much worse before it gets better BUT here I am healed and full of life! I had to have grit and determination to stick to the plan and trust. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Barter for not giving up on me and fighting with me!"

"How good is Dr. Julie Barter? 

Good enough to fly from Colorado to Montana, make me feel like I’m the only person she will see that day, listen fully and skillfully, provide treatments that work, and consider my preferences. Good enough to recall more facts about my case than I remember, analyze and recommend, give hope, and bring a touch of humor into the situation. 

Without her interventions, colitis had taken hold of my life and I was miserable.  Dr. Julie Barter guided me through a process of supplements, a short steroid intervention, and gradual  dietary changes.  Like diabetes and ailments, colitis is for life and I have flares from time to time, which she also helps me manage.  With her help, recovery time is much shorter each time.

There’s more.

Years ago, I injured both wrists.  I have now had three PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and Ozone injections and enough time has elapsed that longitudinal results are evident.  The treatments help my body create more of its own cushioning.  Administered in my case about once a year, the number of injections decreases over time.  Recovery time is shorter.  Unlike friends who have had surgery, weeks of wearing a cast or restrictive brace, followed by months of Occupational of other therapy, I have no scar tissue, only a few days of minimal pain that require no medication, and continued improvements in general ability to use my hands and wrists.  I also have complete range of motion.  The only therapy is using my hands for my regular activities, gradually increasing the load. 

One more bit.

I took my collie mix dog to four vet clinics and not one provided a definitive diagnosis or a supplement regimen that put the sparkle back in his eye.  He was depressed, losing fur and weight and could barely lift his head.  What she recommended saved his life! 

To say that what Dr. Julie Barter has done for me is anything other than life changing would be a severe understatement.  She gave me back my gut, my dog and my hands, things I’d have a hard time living without!

Thank you, Julie!  You’ve done more for me than whole teams of doctors!  Keep up the incredible work!"

Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella, long term antibiotics

"Dr. Barter has given me my life back. I’m eternally grateful. This is the best I have felt in years. I’m glad I never gave up hope. People have asked me recently what I attribute my health to and I immediately say Dr. Barter. I appreciate and thank her from the bottom of my heart... I honestly wish I could do what she does because after going through this miserable battle (Lyme and co-infections), I almost feel like it is a calling to help those who want to be helped and are searching for the same answers I was. I wish I knew everything she knows. I have the deepest and upmost respect for her. Thank you!"

C.C. Kalispell, MT.

"My shoulder feels so much better after several Prolozone shots that I cancelled my surgery. I can lift heavy boxes and carry my scuba gear again. Thank you Dr. B!"

S.L. Whitefish, MT

"One injection (PRP) and my hip feels AMAZING!  I'm postoning surgery and my orthopedic surgeon agrees - I'm doing all the activities I want to be doing."

T.W. Chester, MT

"Julie has done wonders for my over all health."

D.K. Denver, CO

"Dr. B. I just realized that it’s National Doctors Day so I wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you. Your care all of these years has undoubtedly saved my life but beyond that, you are one of a kind. The love you have for your patients is something to aspire to ...and I’m certain this must be in spite of impossible, personal trials. Thank you for helping me heal. You have been such a godsend."

Lyme, Co-Infections, Testosterone

Outstanding knowledge, service, and professionalism in my journey to rid myself of co-infections from Lyme, along with guidance and insight on other general health-related issues, such as my ultra-low T that we've finally got a handle on. Dr. Barter and staff have been a pleasure to work with through the years, and the new office is amazing and well thought out.

Preventive medicine

"I'm always getting banged up from cycling and dirt biking, and any chance to get things sorted out without resorting to synthetic drugs and modern medicine is at the top of my list. One of my goals in life as I get older is to avoid having a bunch of prescription meds in the cabinet. With Dr. Julie's insight and guidance, I've made adjustments to my diet & exercise regimen that have me feeling a lot better and will keep me healthy and pain-free for the long haul."

L.S. Longmont, CO

"I had been sick for 6 months and seen many doctors and specialists with no answers about my health. I was experiencing insomnia, light headedness, dizziness, anxiety, panic attacks, weakness, and pounding pressure in my heart and head. I am an athlete and was unable to train or work. Dr. Julie Barter was the only one to make any discoveries. First, she discovered that my adrenals were very low and that I had two intestinal bacteria. After ruling out more serious conditions she recommended I test for Lyme Disease, which I had never heard of before. I did the blood test and subsequently found out I have Lyme Disease that has probably been in my system for many years. Since working with Dr. Barter my symptoms have drastically improved. Now I am sleeping, I am beginning to train again, and get through my days much easier. I am really grateful for Dr. Barter's knowledge and experience. Her insight and persistence were the key to getting me back on the road to health. She helped me get my life back."

Colitis Management and Prevention

"Colitis - painful, life-changing, depressing. Many people have it continuously for years, or it abates but keeps recurring. When I had it in 2005, the prevailing medical community couldn't recommend more than Pepto Bismol and Immodium - for months. I had to gauge my life by restroom availability. This time, I vowed I would not go through the same grueling process, and thanks to Dr. Julie Barter, it was unnecessary. Her evaluation of my condition was thorough and caring. She looked not only at my outward symptoms; she analyzed my physical and emotional reactions and addressed them appropriately. Her gentle, caring manner encourages open communication and she is an excellent listener. She provided two regimens of intervention. The first included supplements and dietary changes that allowed me to function in my job and socially while I awaited a diagnosis, and the second treated the diagnosis so I am on my way to health. In addition, Dr. Barter is providing ongoing symptomatic therapy and reintroduction of foods so that I can eat a balanced diet. Also, and this is to me the best part, I will never have to face the disorder again because she is providing preventive care as well. This was never suggested to be by other medical professionals, and I am beyond grateful. If you are looking for a more natural way to treat a condition, if you want someone to truly listen to you and if you want individualized treatment, go to Dr. Julie Barter. You will be able to regain and keep your health for your lifetime. What could be worth more?"

E.P. NY

"Dr. Julie is nothing short of a miracle worker! Her broad spectrum of knowledge, unique understanding of the human body and her keen intuition make her a priceless contribution to the field of medicine and wellness. I've never experienced greater results from any healthcare practitioner. I am so thankful I found her and so is my 8 year old pit-bull, who also thanks Dr. Julie everyday for curing him of diabetes insipidus!  She is truly amazing!!!"


T.W. Portland, OR

"I was a mess when I started working with Dr. Julie Barter. I was overweight, and spent most of my days in pain. I had migraines, aching knees and elbows, heart palpitations, and digestive misery. I was tired all the time. Over the years, I had been to many other regular doctors, naturopaths, and chiropractors. I took their supplements, ate the way they told me to eat, and let them adjust me. But I stayed sick.
Things turned around for me when I started working with Dr. Barter. She gave me a diet individually tailored just to me. Just with my right diet my symptoms started to improve. She did bodywork on me using applied kinesiology which follows the Chinese acupuncture system. She also gave me supplements and homeopathy and herbs. These were also individually tailored, unique to my needs. The difference is amazing. I have shed all those extra pounds and I live without pain. I am more active and healthier now than I have ever been. I cannot recommend Dr. Barter highly enough."

N.S. Boulder, CO

 "I had fallen about a month ago and was experiencing severe headaches and body pains as a result ... I was referred to Dr. Julie Barter... She adjusted me in ways I've never been adjusted before.  It was the most thorough adjustment I've ever had.  She even adjusted my cranial sutures.  Awesome!   She uses muscle testing and your meridians to let her know what's going on where and what needs to be adjusted.  It was an amazing experience and an extremely valuable one.  I feel aligned and functional again!  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
