Cured my Anxiety

by gregpicks at Citysearch

Anxiety was starting to take over my life. Some family tragedies and some very tough years at work contributed to my anxiety getting out of hand. I had gone to gabriel for a back issue many of years ago and since he was so successful with my back I contacted him about the anxiety. We did acupuncture twice a week for 2 months. At the end of the two months my anxiety was 1/10 of what it was before I started. It was actually amazing. I couldn't believe how much better I felt after the first treatment and after each following treatment it kept getting better and more manageable. I now go once every other week and feel sooooo much better. Acupuncture was a life saver.

Cured my Back Pain for the Marathon

by CindySpivs at Citysearch

I was running in the Marathon this past weekend and hurt my back training 2 weeks before. I wasn't going to miss it. My husband goes to the Sher Acupuncture Center and insisted that I go. I was a little resistant but after the first treatment my lower back was 80% better. I saw him 3 more times and by Marathon Sunday my back was 100%. I ran without pain in a time of 3 hours and 42 min. Amazing day and I owe so much to gabriel. He is a fantastic acupuncturist and healer.

Baby Girl

After a stillbirth at 36 weeks of pregnancy (conceived by IUI) and 6 attempted IUI/IVF cycles, my husband and I were feeling hopeless. I was 39 years old and my fertility specialist told me that he had done all he could do to help us get pregnant. My ovaries were just not responding well to the medications. So, that summer my husband and I decided to take a break from treatment. My body was worn down and emotionally I was a wreck. We agreed that we would focus on getting me healthier.

I decided to begin yoga to help me with my stress management and to try to get my body into better shape. I also had heard about using acupuncture for infertility. I did some research on-line and that is when I discovered Gabriel Sher. I made an appointment that changed our lives.

When I met with Gabriel Sher he was very comforting and gave me hope that there was still a possibility that we could get pregnant. We discussed trying only acupuncture for a while and if that was not working alone, then I might want to consider adding back in some traditional fertility treatment. She gave me specific instructions about changing some things in my diet such as no caffeine, no cold liquids, no alcohol and eating organic foods. He also gave me a tea to drink every morning and every night. I also began seeing him for acupuncture treatments once a week and charting my body basal temperature every morning.

After 3 months of sticking to everything in the plan, I went in for one of my weekly appointments. After looking at my body basal temperature chart Gabriel looked at me and said, “I think you are pregnant. Go home and take a pregnancy test.” I did not believe him. I did not feel pregnant, but I did as he said and the test was positive. We were so excited. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Although we were devastated again, we were now hopeful that we could get pregnant without using traditional fertility medications and this seemed to be what was working best for my body.

We continued on with the plan and after another 3 months we were pregnant again. What we had not been able to do in 2 years with fertility medications, we had now been able to do twice in 6 months with Gabriel and his treatment plan. We were so overjoyed and hopeful that this pregnancy would be a positive one.

Well, that was about 9 months ago and on September 28 we delivered a healthy beautiful baby girl. She is already the love of our lives and we are so grateful to have her.

We are so eternally thankful to Gabriel that we cannot put it in to words. He helped us when we felt like we were at the end of the road. Acupuncture and a few lifestyle changes helped us to get to where we are today….the proud parents of our precious little girl.

Amazing Change!

by tal hoover at Citysearch

In late summer 2010, I was suffering from extreme back pain and was tired of muscle relaxants and pain pills. I came to Sher Acupuncture Center (on a recommendation) and was amazed. My back pain got so much better. I went 3 times and had to go again in December due to a mild flare up. My back is so much better and I recommend Gabriel to everyone. After being a Nurse for 10 years, I was a skeptic - but it worked - and my back has never felt better!” Nice to experience alternative medicine.

Great Acupuncturist!

by danifield at Citysearch

I was really disappointed when doctors diagnosed me with IBS but gave me no treatment options. I had severe problems with my digestion that progressed over several years. After eating I was uncomfortable, bloated, had stomach pain and was lethargic. The fatigue I was experiencing made it difficult to function. I began to feel improvements immediately after starting acupuncture, herbal medicine and the dietary changes that Gabriel suggested.Gabriel changed my whole diet and was very aggressive with herbs so that I could see change quickly. At this time my condition is 99% better, I rarely feel discomfort, and have more energy. I never knew that I could feel this amazing after eating. Thanks to acupuncture with Gabriel, I enjoy food and eating and am living a better life.”
