Dr. Mindel is unbelievable!

From a recent victim:

Fredrick:

I am now well aware of why I always felt the way I did when near you.

You are everything I am against of my religious beliefs, but tried your best to disguise your fraud.

I always felt a discomfort, nervousness and a serious form of manipulation from you that ended up causing a major amount of stress ending up making me very sick. I am grateful it only lasted a month.

I hated being pushed into sex with you, your big fat gut, stinky cigarette breath, chasing around your cigarette for you to smoke, un invited over nite, age difference, false representation of who you really are.

You are a pushy despicable creep and should write it on your mirror so you can start you day of with the truth.

I have discovered the information about your so called theater group in San Francisco, abuse, The Mindel Pages, Sharon Gans, Law license Robert Klein, Cult, marriages w/in the cult and all of your evil doings.

I have spent hours reading every article I could find.

You are a low end coward that preys on the vulnerability of lost people seeking a sense of belonging.

You have some nerve to come in my life and present your beliefs to be of some spiritual beauty, take up my time and try to be a boyfriend and play yourself off to be a do good person.

I now wonder of your intentions of approaching me...recruiter?

I had my extreme doubts about you as I watched you treat people in a humiliating way...waiters, cabdrivers, the list goes on...as I now know that is part of your teachings. You think you are superior and an elitist when you are just the opposite. You are nothing but a pitiful worm.

People like you and your cohorts should be in jail for what you have done to innocent temporary lost victims.

Today I called and spoke with Don Rashopf....

It all makes sense to me now.....Students? Theater? School?

I look forward to the day this is exposed for public awareness....

As I once conversed with you that evil shows up in angelic form...

You are to NEVER contact me or come near me in any way.

There will NEVER be any visits now, future and truly wish can take back any time spent w/you.

I will gladly report you to authorities if you try to do so...

Pain free after 4 sessions

by abeleitner at Citysearch

I just had my 4th treatment from Dr. Mindel and I feel much better than when I got started.

My main problem is my shoulder pain along with my inability to sleep well at nights (hence a zombie at work the next day). I never had good experience with 'traditional' doctors who simply want to drug you in most cases.

While I know the western medicine has its place but I truly think that we should balance its use with all other alternative methods of healing such as chiropractic work, accupuncture and other forms of non-traditional healing.

Dr. Frederick Mindel seemed to be very experienced and he was recommended to me by one of his patients that I trust. So when I met him I saw a very spiritual person who paid attention to my rants and long story of problems with my shoulder and insomnia.

After 10 minutes of ranting he took his time and explained to me the roots of my problem. He even mentioned that in a few sessions I can totally change my situation and why...

It was after the 3rd session that I truly felt better and could not believe falling sleep so easily at nights with no shoulder pain.

And after the 4th session, I am a believer. I think I always was resistent to "alternative" ways of healing but now I am a believer...

I think with 1 more session and I can move on without having to see this very good healer...

These reviews have been written by his pitiful students in his cult and are too brainwashed to leave.

He is a fraud.

Be sure to do your your research before you go anywhere near him or his office.

Be sure to google him a not to miss:

Very good chiropractor and health care provider

by VictorGZ at Citysearch

I was really satisfied with Dr. Mindel and his services. He was not just treating me - he educated me about my situation - from nutrition to my state of health and more.

The 2nd visit was even better since I feltslightly better and today - even more. Here is an article that found helpful about my problem - all about stress and its effect on me:

Harmful Effects of Stress

What is stress? This widely used term really means anything that creates a disturbance in our system. This includes the daily demands of living in New York (e.g. job pressures, finances, family, relationships), environmental toxins (e.g. air pollution, pesticides, herbicides, harmful effects of electronics), physical stressors (e.g. pain, trauma, physical activity) strong emotional reactions (e.g. anger, worry, depression) and insomnia (e.g. lack of sufficient, refreshing sleep).

How stress affects us: We have precise mechanisms for dealing with stress, centered around the adrenal glands and their production of cortisol and DHEA. In acute stress situations cortisol levels rise, then return to normal once the stressor is removed. Cortisol is a vital hormone that affects virtually every system in the body, especially for providing energy and for anti-inflammatory benefits.

However, the very things that make cortisol wonderful also makes it devastatingly dangerous when the levels are too high or too low for prolonged periods of time. High cortisol levels are a major factor in many conditions including heart disease, diabetes, insomnia, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, lowered immune system, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers and colitis, osteoporosis, thyroid disorders and fibromyalgia. Very low cortisol levels are even more dangerous as they predispose us to autoimmune and degenerative diseases. Common symptoms for cortisol imbalance include cravings for salt, sugar, and carbohydrates, mood swings and irritability, fluctuation in energy levels throughout the day, a feeling that the daily demands of life are overwhelming, insomnia and increased abdominal fat

There are three levels of stress. The good news is that it is now possible through recent advances in testing to determine exactly which level you are at. The even better news is that once we have your exact stress level we can tailor an individual program to reverse or eliminate the harmful effects of stress. Certainly proper diet, regular exercise and efficient stress management can help to lower stress levels. However, for many people this is not enough. Very specific, targeted nutritional supplements, formulated to lower cortisol levels, are needed. A daily multi-vitamin will not do the job.

I want to emphasize two areas of concern for so many of my patients: 1) weight gain, especially in the abdominal fat pad which is so difficult to lose, even with diet and exercise 2) A wish to strengthen their immune system and resistance to colds, infections and the flu as winter approaches. Addressing the cortisol connection to stress along with our holistic approach will get the job done for most people

MINDEL IS A FRAUD. STAY AWAY!

by astrapi at Citysearch

I held a lengthy phone interview with the office secretary inquiring about specific endocrinology tests I needed via bloodwork and was told their office was EXACTLY what I needed - excited and optimistic, I booked an appointment. I even spoke with "DR" Mindel himself and emphasized my focus as an athlete, specifically reiterating that I was NOT interested in esoteric services common w/i the holistic field.

TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT, the 45 minute appointment with Mindel was nothing short of quack science. I was supposed to have blood samples taken to assess my hormone function but instead ended up on a table with glass vials containing undisclosed contents over my face & body. He then manipulated my arms, legs, and stomach only to report that I was in really horrible condition and that he would not authorize any blood tests until way later on down the line. His comment for my simple request to be blood tested was something along the lines of "Youre not ready for that just yet". Then he tried to sell me supplements and told me I was deficient in lots of vitamins & minerals and that only the brand he sold would help me get well.

I dont live in Manhattan so getting to his office took a bus and 2 trains. I stressed that the service he was trying to lasso me in with, what he called "applied kinesiology", was NOT what I had sought him out for.

For anyone seeking more info, this is what "applied kinesiology" is:

w w w .chirobase. o r g/06DD/ak.html (w/o the spaces!)

I told the doctor and his secretary Jill I was never coming back and thanked them for wasting my time. What's even worse is that Jill claimed their services were within network with my insurance company (my deductible is $5). Before the appointment, she said I would pay $20 out-of-pocket which I was disgruntled about b/c she gave me false info over the phone. Even crazier, AFTER the appointment when I stated I'd never return, she charged me $35.

Mindel contacted me 2 days later and apologized for trying to sway me in an alternate direction and asked that I return to undergo the services we initially agreed upon. BUT as the saying goes: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If you truly care about your health, time, and the money in your pockets, Mindel is NOT the office you want to visit. STAY AWAY! and if you dont care, at least READ THE ARTICLE ABOVE! (Its from a real doctor.)
