Testimonials for Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine
" When I went to my acupuncturist, Dr. John Barrett, it was for difficult menstrual cycles. I was having severe cramps and vomiting. My sexual energy was unfocused and erratic. Years ago I had terminated a pregnancy and since then had developed these horrible menstrual periods. I didn't see the connection until after my treatments with Dr. Barrett. He always greeted me with a warm smile. His nonjudgmental presence allowed me to open up about this issue and others while embracing my healing. I felt my way through the process not really knowing what was happening internally because my focus was on less painful periods. He remained sensitive during my treatment and afterwards. I remember feeling like tons of bricks were lifted off me. A few months after my treatment my cramps got better and I became pregnant which was an amazing gift that I didn't know was coming. I embraced it with joy. I feel that the treatments he did on me balanced me physically and emotionally while unblocking my creativity. Even my complexion improved, and the breakouts I had for years stopped completely. My female creative energy is flowing more freely. I thank Dr. Barrett profoundly because I believe the work he does has a deeper foundation than the obvious, and the benefits are endless... "
"I first went to see Dr. Barrett after taking antibiotics for a week in order to fight the flu. My chief complaint was residual symptoms from the flu that the antibiotics did not seem to help. These were fatigue and difficulty breathing. I could not believe that after one treatment both symptoms were permanently relieved.
"A throat and nose specialist suggested I spend the night under observation in a sleep clinic. If everything was as expected, he recommended that I have my tonsils removed and that all would be fine. After visiting Dr. Barrett, he recommended an herbal formula which he had designed to eliminate snoring. After my first cup of his formula, I noticed that my lungs, sinuses, and bronchioles were considerably more open, and my breath was much freer. That night I slept extremely well with neither sleep apnea nor snoring. I continued to drink this formula over the next couple of weeks, and it has been two years without any recurring effect. Being well aware of the pain, side effects, and recovery time to heal from having one's tonsils removed, my wife and I are most thankful for Dr. Barrett's advice and treatment."
"Dr. Barrett helped me with a lower back injury from basketball. After the injury my back was stiff. The next day it grew worse, and it became visibly noticeable that I was not walking normally. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Dr. Barrett. I am not quite sure how needles in my hands and knees cure a back injury but, Dr. Barrett was able to relieve the stiffness and restore my range of motion with one treatment. I was about 75% better immediately after his treatment and 100% better the next day."
"From spending alot of time on the phone for my job, my neck became very sensitive with some dull aching and stiffness. One weekend, after stacking a cord of wood, my neck became extremely painful and stiff. However, I had to travel to Los Angeles for a business trip on Monday morning. Upon arrival, I could barely move my head. I thought the trip was a waste until my business contact referred me to Dr. Barrett in Century City. Dr. Barrett was able to see me that day and after one treatment I felt a 70 percent relief of pain and was able to complete my trip."
"Having landed in Los Angeles on business, I suddenly came down with a sore throat, fever and flu. Having found Dr. Barrett on the internet, I called to make an appointment and Dr. Barrett was willing to stay late and meet me that evening. Upon arrival my throat was extremely painful and I had a 100.1degree fever. Dr. Barrett gave me a treatment which reduced 75% of the pain in my throat and reduced my fever to 99.1. He then gave me some herbal pills to take and the next morning I felt fine. I was simply amazed at how quickly acupuncture and herbs could treat my condition and save my business trip. "
"I decided to get treated by Dr. Barrett for severe headaches and ringing in my ears. Upon diagnosis, he noted that my blood pressure was 190/ 90. Immediately, Dr. Barrett recommended that I see a doctor for western treatment. He then proceeded to treat me with acupuncture and herbs. During that first week my headaches stopped, and the ringing in my ears was minimal. I also followed up with Dr. Barrett's recommendation to see a doctor and was given pharmaceuticals to control my blood pressure. Upon my next visit to Dr. Barrett, my blood pressure was down to 160/85. Although still high, Dr. Barrett was not so alarmed and suggested we continue to treat with TOM in addition to western medicine. Dr. Barrett researched all the herbs and medications I was using to make sure they were compatible. Since the pharmaceuticals were causing me extreme side effects and fatigue, Dr. Barrett's goal was to further reduce my blood pressure with TOM, and while working with my MD, reduce my need for the pharmaceuticals. Dr. Barrett also recommended dietary changes and that I buy a blood pressure device to measure my blood pressure throughout the day. After three months, I no longer needed the western medication. After six months, I no longer need the TOM herbal formula. This means a lot to me, as most people end up relying on medication to control blood pressure for the rest of their lives. Given the side effects, I do not know how I would have coped, as my quality of life and ability to perform my job would have deteriorated."
"A friend recommended me to Dr. Barrett for severe neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Barrett was able to give me 100% relief after two treatments. Dr. Barrett further explained that tight muscles can contribute to misalignment of the vertibrae which can then lead to bone spurs and severe pain twenty years from now. He gave me a list of yoga stretches to do on a daily basis. I followed his instructions and have been free of pain ever since. "
"After having reconstuctive surgery done on my nose, I began to experience severe sinus pain. Being referred to Dr. Barrett by my primary care physician, I was willing to try acupunture. To my surprise after three treatments with Dr. Barrett my pain was reduced to nothing. Being a skeptic, I was greatly pleased with the results of acupuncture "
"Having recently started playing tennis after years of being on the bench, I soon discovered that I was a little out of shape and that due to some over zealous efforts, I experienced tennis elbow. I was very disappointed as I thought perhaps my game was over. After visiting a physical therapist, I was referred to Dr. Barrett who saw me for two treatments. I still am not the power house on the court that I seem to remember being, but my elbow is not the reason. Thanks to Dr. Barrett I am totally pain free in my elbow and my family and I enjoy playing tennis regularly."
