Dr. Resseger saved my life 27 years ago. I had a severe systemic yeast infection and many opportunistic viruses. My immune system was overwhelmed to the point I would have died without proper treatment. Dr. Resseger tested me for these pathogens, then prescribed the strongest antifungal drugs and gave me drops for the viruses. It took two years on this regimen to be cured of the diseases, but it worked and I am now healthy and active. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Resseger.

Dr. Resseger saw me as a child - I was allergic to everything and it was causing me to go into violent fits of rage. Luckily my mom found a book by Dr. Doris Rapp, "Is this Your Child?" going into all the strange ways allergies can show themselves. Sure enough, I was allergic to sugar, wheat, corn, soy, dust, mold, cats, chocolate... everything - all measurable with science. Dr. Resseger saved my family. Imagine having a toddler trying to stab people! My poor parents! A few drops under the tongue and I became re-"immune" after some times. I'm now a mom, almost 40, and I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Dr. Resseger. May he rest in peace. He will never be forgotten!

I just heard of Dr. Resseger’s passing. Please accept my condolences. When my doctor didn’t know what else to do for me in 1990, I found Dr. Resseger. He was willing to think outside the box and gave me my life back. I will be forever greatful!
Teri Stein - Oct 11, 2021
I am so sorry for your loss. I'll never forget the my first visit with Dr. Resseger. He said, "I don't know what's wrong, but I'll find out." What a relief that was. He saved me from a life of suffering. I live two hours away from the office and it was worth every mile for the 24 years I was a patient. He is greatly missed!

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Chuck's passing. I was a medical resident and spent 6 rewarding weeks with him in 1998. He was generous in his teaching and hospitality. I was on the phone this morning with a 73 year old patient here in the Charlotte, NC area who happened to mention that he saw an osteopath in Norwalk, OH when he was in his 20's and mentioned Dr. Resseger, and recalled what an excellent physician he was. I know he will be missed by many. God bless.
