"Dear Mr. Smith,
I have tri-geminal neuralgia and for the past 3 years I have endured
sharp, excruciating pain anytime I tried to talk, eat or drink. My
friends were very concerned for me. I had lost weight and was looking
very frail. I was not getting proper nutrition or enough hydration and
had pretty much dropped out of society. My communication skills
consisted of nodding yes or no.
The week following my first BodyTalk session with Dr. Smith, my pain
level had receded from an intese high of 10 down to a reasonable 2 or
3. WHAT A RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!
Friends and family noticed right away that I could talk again and I have
continued to do so for the past 6 months!
I also feel a sense of peace and well-being within me from Dr. Smith's
treatments. My Mom and friends say that I sound different--more sure
of myself. I feel very much more relaxed about life.
Thank you Dr. Smith for helping me to achieve this frame of mind. It is
a nice place to be.

"Having never sprained anything before I don't know how bad it "could have been" and I'm grateful that it didn't get as bad as people warned. I attribute a fast recovery with little bruising to the laser therapy that was done shortly after my ankle sprain. My ankle was just starting to turn green when I had my treatment and the next day the green bruise was gone. From that point on I had almost no bruising and little pain. I could actually pinpoint the tiny areas of pain that we didn't quite reach with the laser and regret not completing the round of treatment. Even with one session though, I was able to ease off the pain killers and begin walking again in no time! Had I gone back for all the recommended treatments, I'm sure there would have been no pain, swelling, or bruising."

"I bless the day I met Dr. Garrett Smith. He has literally given me my life back! I was in periodic pain in certain areas of my body for years, but in the last 4 months, the pain was constant and nagging. In just one casual conversation with Dr. Smith, telling him about my symptoms and my diet, he suggested that I might have a B-12 deficiency and he was right! Two or three B-12 shots have given me my life back. The pain is now 95% gone most of the time and I'm so grateful to Dr. Smith. We are now working on some other health issues by fine-tuning my diet and using homeopathic remedies. Dr. Smith is extremely knowledgeable in so many areas; nutrition, homeopathy, herbs, physical medicine. He has the rare ability to diagnose based on symptoms, diet and lifestyle and to determine what kind of treatment is required and he is extremely patient and very good at explaining what he knows. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and I would recommend him without reservation to anyone! Thank you and God bless you, Dr. Smith."

"Hi Dr. G. Thanks for following up with me. I really appreciate it. Your patients and clients are lucky. If you take the time to help someone like me that you only know from the CrossFit forum, I can only imagine the care and attention they must receive."

"As a 34-year-old male law enforcement officer with a family history of heart disease and cancer, I take my health seriously. I follow the Zone Diet, wherein I weigh and measure my food to ensure the proper amount for my body weight. I also follow the Crossfit methodology, as seen on www.Crossfit.com. However, I was quite surprised recently when blood work from an annual physical came back and my cholesterol was through the roof. Immediately my doctor wanted to put me on medication. After describing the above habits concerning nutrition/ exercise, he said I had no “wiggle room.” Essentially, he said I had no alternative.
However, “Dr. G.,” saw otherwise. I sent him a week of my nutritional intake, and he took it from there. He sent me a laundry list of practical suggestions that I was able to implement right away. For example: more chicken and fish, only grass fed beef; take Cod Liver Oil, etc.
I did not expect to be writing a testimonial until months have passed and I got my blood tested again. But my plans changed; I noticed right away a difference. I FEEL BETTER!! I am refreshed, my performance during training and my job is improved, and my mental acuity/ emotional stability is the best it has ever been. Being in law enforcement, I don’t get much sleep. It can sometimes be difficult. But now I feel refreshed! Amazing. And in a current correspondence, Dr. G told me we have only scratched the surface. There are even more things I can do to make my body that much more efficient.
I had to state, emphatically, that the sky is the limit to mental, emotional, and physical improvement and performance when under the right guidance and direction. Without a doubt, Dr. G provides just that."

"Thank you for your help with my elbow pain and restriction. I had significant improvement at once, and it held up great during the training at the seminar that I attended the following weekend. Now, several weeks later, it is continuing to improve. I think the dietary modifications we talked about are helping, as well. Thanks again!"

Dear Mr. Smith,
I want to write my testimony on the laser treatment for quitting smoking.
On April 28, 2008 I went in and started my treatment. I had been a smoker for over 65 years and had tried stopping throughout the years and nothing helped.
I am now 88 years old and it’s never too late to stop. I had three treatments. There’s no pain involved and by the third treatment I am smoke free still, three and a half months later. I want to thank the staff for caring and being so wonderful to help me through.

I was having so much pain in my hip. I couldn’t sit, walk, work, or sleep without feeling this terrible pain. The MRI showed that there was a torn ligament, but the doctor said surgery wouldn’t guarantee the removal of the pain. So a friend told me about this naturopath, Dr. Smith, who could give me Laser Therapy…after just five treatments I was completely out of pain.

I was scheduled for knee surgery three weeks ago when I realized the analysis of my MRI with my orthopedic doctor didn’t convince me that it was necessary to have an ACL replacement. As someone who works in the field of oriental medicine, I feel that unless my ACL is completely torn, I should promote healing and regeneration of the structures of my knee before ever opening the joint capsule and risking degeneration. Since then, I have received ten laser treatments and five knee adjustments from Dr. Smith; I’ve modified my diet, rested, and adjusted how I do my taiji and bodywork practices. Now I enjoy more stability, no pain, and look forward to resuming full enjoyment of all my treasured activities.

Dear Dr. Smith,
My last treatment was April 2nd and I just want you to know that I am mostly “pain free” and able to walk again. I still have issues with muscles that were not used for several years, but other than that I am moving and doing things that I could not do before treatment.
I have encountered several people that knew how much pain I was in before seeing you and they have all asked for your information, which I have provided. Many of my close friends cannot believe the change they have seen in the way I walk, etc. I say it’s a “Miracle”.
Also, my thanks to Anne-Marie and Kathy who were so kind and always put me at ease.
Everyday I give thanks for being put in you knowledgeable hands.

Truly, truly, truly- No one asked me to write this, but my love of others compels me to do so. Laser therapy administered by Dr. Rudnick (retired) and Dr. Smith is the single most aspect of my finally being absent of a toothache-like pain in my formerly broken foot.
It has amazed me that such a simple treatment was the catalyst of my walking without fear again.
It further amazes me that Medicare was willing to pay for a $4000.00 bone stimulator (even though an MRI showed the bone was already healed). And yet, Medicare will not pay for laser therapy, a miniscule fraction of that cost.
It was worth the relatively small cost of those visits to Dr. Smith’s clinic for laser healing (I prefer to call it what it is) if only to have my spirits lifted after so much pain and inconvenience.
I’m so grateful that someone I love very much told me where to find this.

I’m 21 years old and I had a lot of joint pain. I really didn’t know if I was going to walk anymore. I found Dr. Smith and he melted my pain away to where I know I’m going to have a normal life now!

Dear Dr. Smith,
This past May, I competed in the U.S. Masters Swimming National Championships in Austin, Texas. A year prior to that, I was just completing a series of tests with my allopathic physicians, ordered to try and determine what was causing a combination of gastrointestinal symptoms that had become debilitating. I had lost 30 lbs., was nauseous almost constantly, crampy and uncomfortable. For someone who has always tried to stay in good shape, eat well and live a healthy lifestyle, it was puzzling, to say the least.
When I met you, I was pretty demoralized, but hopeful that maybe you would be able to offer a fresh perspective on what was going on. Your thorough, caring and amazingly complete first meeting with me was unlike any experience I’ve ever had with a physician. You spent time, listened carefully, followed up with pertinent questions and offered support as you walked me through everything I could remember about the state of my health.
As a result of this first meeting, lab tests confirmed your diagnosis of Celiac Disease, and I started on a gluten-free diet. Within a month, I was no longer nauseous, I was getting my energy back, and I stopped losing weight (although I have yet to gain back the weight I had lost, which for me is a good thing!). Within six months all of my symptoms resolved. The addition of probiotics, cod liver oil tablets, Natural Calm, vitamins E, D and A and most recently iodine replacement therapies have supported my return to good health and a much-improved lifestyle.
At the swimming championships, I broke one individual record (in 50 yard butterfly) and was part of two National Record Setting relay teams. Two of the times I achieved at the meet were faster than 30+ years ago when I competed at the college level. Amazing! I can’t thank you enough for you care, concern, and most of all your medical skills in this incredible journey to better health than I’ve ever had.
-S.R.
