In a world where healthcare often feels fragmented and impersonal, Dr. Loretta T. Friedman stands as a beacon of hope for patients seeking comprehensive, alternative solutions. With 31 years of dedicated practice, “Dr. Loretta,” as most of her clients affectionately call her, has carved out a unique path in the medical field that challenges conventional approaches while delivering remarkable results.
Dr. Loretta T. Friedman’s journey in healthcare began as a nurse at Beth Israel Hospital, where her passion for patient care quickly propelled her into high-intensity surgical environments. She later transitioned to Cornell Hospital, specializing in cardio-thoracic, open-heart, and vascular surgery. Her pursuit of deeper medical knowledge led her to complete pre-medical studies at Hunter College, after which she expanded her expertise by enrolling in Chiropractic College near San Francisco.
During this time, Dr. Friedman also served as an operating room nurse at UCSF San Francisco, where she worked in the demanding field of kidney transplants. Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Friedman has held academic positions, including serving as faculty at NYU School of Dentistry in the department of Oral Facial Pain and TMJD, where she established herself as an authority in pain management. This extensive surgical and clinical experience gave her an unparalleled understanding of the human body’s complexities—alongside a firsthand view of the limitations of conventional medicine.
Her transition from the surgical suite to holistic healing was not just a career shift, but a profound calling to address health at its root. Today, she integrates her medical background with a comprehensive, natural approach to wellness. She has applied her knowledge and helped countless women and men with their nutritional deficiencies throughout her three-decade career.
What truly sets Dr. Friedman apart is her pioneering work in Lymph-Biologics™, a unique form of lymphatic drainage that she developed. “I’m the only one in the country who does Lymph-Biologics and can rid the body of inflammation, swelling, and pain,” she explains. “I get rid of lymphedema because I get rid of the toxins causing blockage and stagnation of lymph fluid.”
Dr. Friedman’s practice has recently been enhanced by cutting-edge technology. Her new SoftWave machine, a hydroelectric sound wave device, represents a game-changer in treatment capabilities. “The new softwave machine I have is a hydroelectric sound wave machine, which can also relieve swelling and pain, and it generates stem cells from bone marrow,” she describes enthusiastically. “It’s amazing how quickly this works—any orthopedic condition you can think of, it has the capability to fix.”
The machine’s versatility is remarkable, treating everything from plantar fasciitis and neuropathy of feet and hands to bad knees, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. “Remarkably effective even after failed surgeries,” Dr. Friedman notes, highlighting how this technology can heal scarring after surgery, decubitus ulcers of skin, and bed sores.
As one of only two Directional Non Force Chiropractors™ in all of New York State, Dr. Friedman attracts patients from across the region seeking relief from pain, musculoskeletal swelling, inflammation problems, and disc issues. Her results speak volumes: “Most patients feel 60-80% better after a single visit,” with complete healing typically achieved within 6-8 treatments for disc problems
Alternative Cancer Care: A Compassionate Approach
Perhaps most significantly, Dr. Friedman serves as an Alternative Cancer Specialist, offering hope where traditional medicine often falls short. Her approach is inclusive rather than exclusive: “You can choose to do what you feel is necessary and my protocols simultaneously. It’s not one or the other—it’s both at the same time.”
Her cancer care philosophy focuses on areas conventional treatments often miss: “I also focus on going after the DNA of the cancer, stem cells of cancer—chemo and radiation do nothing against stem cells. You must get the circulating stem cells out.” She emphasizes the importance of genomic testing, noting that “the doctors don’t tell patients this. They just push chemo, chemo, chemo, and or radiation.”
“I disrupt the industry by educating my patients,” Dr. Friedman states firmly. “My videos teach patients they have choices. Just because the doctors don’t tell them doesn’t mean it’s not important.” Her educational approach extends to upcoming webinars on Instagram, a DIY course for metabolic detoxification with Facebook group support, and her informative book “Lymph-Link,” which includes valuable detox recipes.
Dr. Friedman’s guidance is rooted in decades of experience: “Please don’t wait until every conventional option has failed you to seek out someone like me to work with.”
She challenges fear-driven medical narratives, urging patients to think critically: “Don’t believe doctors who try to frighten you into treatment. Show me one study that proves Vitamin C IV drips interfere with chemotherapy.”
Above all, she emphasizes empowerment: “You must be your own best advocate. Never hesitate to ask questions. If you don’t receive answers—or if you’re dismissed—walk away. Those are not the doctors you want on your team.”
Dr. Friedman’s expertise hasn’t gone unnoticed. She has been published in Glamour Magazine, mentioned in New York Magazine, and featured on ABC affiliate TV stations. Her practice attracts high-profile clients, and she works closely with Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Management Team and consults with Managing Partners of PwC.
Located at Synergy Health Associates on 80 Fifth Ave, Suite 1204 in New York, Dr. Friedman continues to challenge conventional healthcare paradigms while providing hope and healing to those who need it most. Her patient reviews, she notes, “say it all. I help people get their lives back.”
In an era where healthcare can feel impersonal and limited, Dr. Loretta T. Friedman represents a refreshing alternative—one that combines cutting-edge technology with time-tested wisdom, all delivered with the compassion of someone who truly understands that healing extends far beyond treating symptoms.
