Patient Testimonials

"I developed Meniere's Disease in 1998. there was no relief from weekly spells of vertigo and vomiting. I felt discouraged after six months of working with western medical doctors with no improvement. I came upon some research about the successful use of acupuncture on Meniere's patients and contacted Paul Gerst. Paul and I had worked at the same health clinic in the past. He began treating me for the vertigo spells and the frequency and severity of these spells decreased after the first two treatments. This was the first relief of symptoms that I had had in months. I have been free of vertigo spells ever since.
This success has influenced me to have acupuncture and Chinese Medicine treatments for other physical problems. In 2003 Paul recommended my first nutritional detox. From this I discovered that a source for my intestinal problems and irritable mood was my intolerance of dairy and gluten. By paying attention to my diet and restoring the balance of my system through the use of acupuncture and nutritional counseling my life has been significantly improved."

"I found almost immediate help after my first visit to Paul in mid-February. I had been suffering from constant bloating, constipation, and low mood and energy. Following the first few treatments, I would feel so much better, but it wouldn't last until the next visit. But after the third or fourth treatment my mood and level of energy were sustained at a much higher and more normal level.

"I did a detoxification process starting in late March and my digestive system feels so much better. I can't believe how easy the diet restrictions were because of the supplement. I was never hungry while on it. During the detox plan you avoid ten food items and then gradually reintroduce them one by one after you finish the plan. I still have not returned to eating wheat, dairy, or sugar and believe detoxifying my system of especially those things have helped me feel like a new person. I am also so much more aware of the affects of what I'm putting into my body has."

"Through the years, I have hurt just about every part of my body. The old saying "if ya play hard - ya pay hard", well it is true, for I am paying hard. On top of this, I got fibromyalgia about 5 years ago. When I first came to Paul Gerst 3 years ago, it hurt for me to even breathe. After my very first visit to Paul, I felt so much better, I could hardly believe it. Paul's knowledge and expertise has given me my life back. I cannot say enough about how much acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and doing a "cleanse" can help you feel so much better."

"After suffering with sinus problems for years and getting no relief from traditional western medicine, I sought the help of Paul Gerst. I have obtained such relief through acupuncture, a detoxification program and diet changes. The acupuncture treatment rooms are comfortable and relaxing. Paul is very thorough in his assessment of patient complaints and treatment. He is always more than willing to answer questions and explain treatment procedures. I highly recommend Gerst Acupuncture. Paul's approach to health issues could change your life for the better, too."
