Patient Testimonials

Prior to coming to David for NAET treatments, I had extreme abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping and bloating associated with wheat, gluten and dairy allergies for 18 yrs. Having done the NAET treatment I have found freedom again and joy in my life. I no longer find myself being a high maintenance person. I can go everywhere and enjoy everything that is being served without being an annoying guest. I would highly recommend that anyone go through the process if you want to regain your life back. I have been extremely successful post treatment, eating all foods.

I have suffered from allergies my entire life and have had to take antihistamines and decongestants to cope for as long as I can remember. As a health care provider trained in Western Medicine, I’ll be the first to admit that I was skeptical about your NAET treatment. As a true believer in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I was willing to give it a try. After receiving your first treatment for my allergies to tree pollen I felt an immediate difference. I went from sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose to none of these symptoms the very next day. I have no explanation, nor could I begin to understand how this treatment works. However, I look forward to continued treatment to deal with all of my other allergies. Thank you so much for your outstanding care and expertise. You are truly a Master!

When I first came to your office I had numbness in my finger and a tingling sensation in my arm. I tried my MD but this did not resolve the issue. After going through the diagnosis, David came up with a solution that involved different treatments. Not only did he perform acupuncture but he was able to massage out the key areas. Since he took the time to understand my issue, he uncovered the fact that I was sleeping incorrectly which added pressure to these nerves. David takes the time to understand the issue(s) and resolve them for each persons need verses a cookie cutter experience. I would recommend David to anyone who needs an alternative to medicine.

When I wanted to try something besides medical doctors, chiropractors, OTC medications and prescription drugs to lessen and maybe solve my menopausal symptoms I didn’t think of acupuncture, BUT I SHOULD HAVE! It wasn’t until a friend said acupuncture helped her that I talked to David Gaynes. We talked about many things including acupuncture. I felt very comfortable with him and decide to give it a try. Was I surprised when after only 1 treatment I felt better (nothing else had worked that quickly!) After each treatment I felt better and better. Little by little I’ve been getting off medications (with my doctor’s help too). My goal was to get through menopause in a natural way and now I can thanks to David. As with any health care issue, being comfortable with and believing in the care provider is very important. It’s a shame we’re not more knowledgeable about alternative solutions to health care problems in our country.

My 11 year old son has a history of skin rashes andbed wetting. I had always wondered if he had food allergies which caused or exacerbated these conditions. Our pediatrician was unable to help. I heard from a friend with multiple allergies about Dr. Gaynes and NAET. My son was frustrated enough to give it a try. After two months of food allergy NAET treatments, his incidence of bedwetting has been cut in half and he can eat all the foods he has been avoiding for the last years! In addition, Dr. Gaynes is very friendly and good with children.

I have experienced great results from David Gaynes and acupuncture. I have had chronic low back pain for 12 years and hip pain for 10 years. I could only sleep for anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour at a time before waking up to pain and having to turn over all night long. I am now sleeping 4 hours straight and sometimes 5-6 hours. This is a major miracle for me. Also, the severity of the pain when I do wake up is greatly reduced by probably 80 to 90 percent. Also, sitting for over 15 minutes at a time was impossible for me without increasing pain. I just flew for 45 minutes on a small plane without pain on four different flights. All of my friends are amazed at how long I am sitting at dinner now, as I have always stood up a lot while eating or visiting friends or at the movies. Needles to say I am very excited and relived at the fabulous results. Thank you doesn’t begin to cover how I feel.

My four treatments with David Gaynes were the first experiences I had ever had with an Acupuncturist. David\’s professional demeanor and personable nature helped to make the experience a positive one. I was suffering from frequent bouts of severe pain around some of the tendons in one of my feet. It seemed that there was inflammation and irritation caused by a injury received several months earlier. Almost miraculously, about 10-14 days after my last treatment with David, the pain had all but disappeared. And today, nearly two months after the last treatment, I feel no further discomfort. I would highly recommend David Gaynes.

I went to David Gaynes for treatment of a severe case of tendonitis of the shoulder. I was in constant pain and unable to perform many simple daily tasks. Relief began at the first treatment and ensuing treatments rapidly took care of my problem. I am now back to 100% of normal feeling and normal activity. I heartily recommend David’s acupuncture treatment and will personally continue to use his services.

Okay, I am SO impressed with the treatments you gave me David, and you know how sensitive I am and afraid to be treated because treatment often leaves me feeling worse….I AM FEELING SO MUCH BETTER. I have had zero energy, lethargic and heavy, for months, and yesterday afternoon and today I am NORMAL. I have excellent energy, I’m sleeping well and I feel like I can EXERT myself; something I’ve been too weak to do for what seems-like ages. My brain can even think; in fact, I’m having a hard time holding it back, containing the energy.

David’s acupuncture work has dramatically improved my TMJ condition,radically decreasing my jaw pain and giving me significantly more mobility. My whole quality of life has completely changed in such a short amount of time and I can’t tell you enough how appreciative I am for the difference he has made.

I suffer from environmental allergies especially the various perfumes, colognes, deodorants etc. I have found myself in an ER facility on several occasions with shortness of breath, tightening in the throat area, swollen glands and wheezing. On several occasions I have received treatment with epinephrine injection and updraft nebulizer. Needless to say this creates a great deal of anxiety whenever I am in a public place. Since receiving treatments from you to this hypersensitivity to perfume mix, I had the most rewarding experience last Sunday evening. My husband and I were having dinner with friends in a downtown restaurant when a patron came in ‘doused’ in a very fragrant perfume. Everyone’s reaction was to ask me if I wished to leave the restaurant and to sit outside. I told them not to worry and to let me see how I would or not react to this irritant. To everyone’s surprise I was able to stay inside the restaurant (although I found the smell annoying) without having any respiratory problems whatsoever. Usually I would have ‘reacted’ within a few minutes sometimes seconds and be in respiratory distress. We all enjoyed dinner and personally I felt a tremendous sense of wellbeing, free of the fear of being ‘attacked’ by such an irritant. Thank you again for being a great caregiver.

When I first came to David my sciatica pain was so great that I was limping around. I was unable to do simple things like take a walk or sit for any period of time without hurting. After only 3 weeks of acupuncture treatments I am feeling good as new, able to walk and be comfortable, without any pain at all. Thank you for your healing touch!

I came in, out of my mind with an allergic rash that itched like crazy. It had been over a week and nothing had helped get it to subside and to make it worse it was spreading. Finding David was a blessing, after the first visit the itching got considerably better and my sanity was returning. In the next few days the rash was disappearing and after one last visit I was good as new. Not only were the results wonderful but David was a pleasure to meet-upbeat, charming, relatable, warm, caring. I would highly recommend David.

I am filled with gratitude and awe for your incredible healing gifts. I feel blessed that you are in this community and helping make this planet a more blissful place to walk. Your energy and light radiate unconditional love and that is SOOOOO healing for me. I am so grateful that you chose the healing profession. You have helped me through many stuck times. Thanks for being so in tune with acupuncture and the power of the present moment. You really walk the talk.

I came to you after visiting the urgent care, doctors office twice, and my dentist over a three week period. I had trouble swallowing, sinus headaches, pain in my neck and limited ability to turn my head. Finally after two acupuncture treatments with you I am about 98% better. This was my first experience with acupuncture. My daughter-in-law kept on telling me to go to you and I was reluctant. Not any more. You have a tremendous ability to explain what you were doing and make the patient feel comfortable with the process. You are through, careful, and caring. I would highly recommend you.

I tend to carry a lot of stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. I was at a point when the muscles in my neck were so tight and knotted that I was in continuous discomfort. Chiropractic sessions and massages weren’t working to relieve the tension. My massage therapist suggested acupuncture to ‘open up the channels.’ I had never had acupuncture before, but after witnessing my husband’s success with a pinched nerve; I thought I’d give it a try. I was so amazed after the first visit how loosened up I was. I went back one more time and by the time I left his office, all the knots in my neck were gone! Not to mention how relaxed I was.

In January of 2006 I was diagnosed with having sensory neuropathy. My neuropathy began five years earlier with numbness of the toes on both feet and progressed to pain and numbness from the knees down on both legs. After six treatments of acupuncture, the feelings started to come back in my legs and even more noticeably in my feet and toes. It was a great day for me when I was able to feel the carpet under my feet once again. I owe this to the dedication of my acupuncturist, David Gaynes.
