Toril Jelter, M.D.
Dr. Toril H. Jelter, MD, is a general practitioner and board certified pediatrician with over 30 years of experience. She was born in Oslo, Norway where she later studied medicine at the University of Oslo, graduating with honors. After graduation Dr. Jelter worked at a mother-child clinic and later for the Norwegian Cancer Society helping women with gynecological cancers. After moving to the United States in 1989 with her husband and two young sons, she trained to become a pediatrician at Overlook Hospital in Summit New Jersey, an affiliate of the Columbia School of Physicians and Surgeons. After completing her residency she joined Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and St. Peters Hospital and worked in a wide range of clinical settings from private practice to HMO's.
In 1999 Dr. Jelter and her family decided to move to California where she joined Bayside Medical Group, a large primary care group in the Bay Area. It was here she had the life changing experience of witnessing the recovery of a young boy from autism over 3 years of treatment. Dr. Jelter knew that if one child with autism could significantly improve there had to be more children that could improve, unlike what most medical textbooks predict. This jump started her journey on the path to integrated, holistic, wellness medicine. After dealing with a serious health challenge of her own with an integrated and holistic approach she found that this was the best option for most chronic conditions of today. She now feels better than ever and enjoys sharing her knowledge and experience with those in need.
Today, her practice is quite focused, and she no longer provides general pediatrician services. She offers phone consultations for specific problems related to metal hypersensitivity (see the MELISA Medical Foundation website) and electromagnetic (EMF) sensitivity. Metal hypersensitivity can contribute to autoimmune illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, digestive problems, asthma, autism and much more. The most common symptoms of EMF sensitivity are headache, thought-processing difficulties, memory impairment, heart palpitations, sleep problems, general malaise and blurred vision. She provides Biophoton Light Therapy at remote locations.
Dr. Jelter is fluent in English and Norwegian and has a working knowledge of Spanish. In her free time she enjoys being with her family outdoors, walking, skiing, gardening, and volunteering for the Heart of Sailing.
