After almost two years of struggling with infertility and undergoing tests and treatments to no avail, I decided to try acupuncture. Honestly, I was pretty skeptical about acupuncture, not knowing much about Eastern medicine, but Western medicine had offered no explanation for my infertility (I was in the "unexplained" category) and my husband and I were willing to try anything to add a little one to our family. Dr. Zev treated me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs for a little over a month and I found myself noticing subtle changes in my circulation and overall sense of wellbeing. Still, I tried not to get my hopes up too high. The month after finishing my treatment, I was pregnant. I went on to have a wonderful pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy and sweet little boy. We're so thankful & always will be!

Words can never express the gratitude and joy which I feel because my infant son is no longer crippled! When I first brought my son to you at 8 weeks old, he had not moved his right arm since his birth injury. I had been to every available M.D., D.O., & P.T. in my area. The diagnoses ranged from stretched nerve bundle to severed nerves to Erb’s palsy. No plan for treatment or hope for recovery was ever given. My heart sank as every day I watched that little arm hang there while the other one got stronger.
Two days after his first chiropractic treatment, he moved his right arm for the first time up to shoulder level! And the progress was nothing short of miraculous for the next three weeks. He now has full use of this right arm, and has almost totally coordinated it with his left arm in that same short time span.
Please, please continue to educated students, other caregivers in the medical profession, and anyone who will listen: “Chiropractic Works!!” God bless you and thank you again for your encouragement, support and results!
Gratefully yours,

Thank you so much for your dead on diagnosis and effective treatment of my lower back pain. As you know, I was in agony when I first came to your office. Your x-rays revealed the root of my discomfort to be a slight misalignment of my hips, which was putting pressure on my lower spine. In less than two weeks (and just four visits) my hips are back in proper alignment, the pain and discomfort are completely gone, and I feel good as new! I also want o thank you and your office staff for the care and concern you show for your patients. It is truly refreshing to be treated with such respect and dignity.

I am writing to say thank you. After three trips to the emergency room and numerous visits to the doctor’s office with no results, we brought our daughter to you for treatment. My husband and I were skeptical and doubted if it would do any good to undergo this kind of treatment, but we did decide to give it a try and we thank the Lord we did. Our daughter had immediate improvement and is now back to normal. Thank you very much for helping our daughter. Thank you for helping her body to heal and function rather than covering up her pain with useless drugs. You and your wife have been helpful, caring and professional, and I am truly grateful to you both. Thanks again!

Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to address our fibromyalgia support group. Your presentation was outstanding and members have requested your return at a later date. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Mommy says it’s been one year since you saw me last and that she can’t believe how great my breathing condition has improved. I have been off milk products for the most part for this whole time and I feel soooo much better! I wanted to thank you for all you’ve done for me Dr. Zev!
--K. M. (2 ½ years old)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for all you’ve done for M. Although as an adolescent she doesn’t seem very appreciative at times, I know that she realizes all the pain and suffering you’ve saved her and she think a lot of you. To be even the slightest bit different than your peers to a teenager, is a fate worse than death. You’ve been able to help her correct her curvature with minimal change to her lifestyle. She is healthier in mind and body and thank God, straighter, because of your treatment.
What you’ve been able to do for me is nothing short of a miracle. I came to you with a list of ailments a mile long. With the patience of Job the hands of God you’ve helped me overcome many of my physical problems and helped me with the problems that will probably be with me forever because of my own curvature that went untreated as I was growing up. (Knowing now what the medical alternatives were then I’m glad they didn’t try to “fix” me.) You’ve restored my faith in health professionals and you will always have my confidence. Thank you for all the times you listened to my worries and respectfully explained things to me. You treated me like I might possibly know something and could contribute to my daughter’s and my own recovery. You are one in a million. Truly the hands of God are at work on this earth through you.
P.S. I shared the x-rays with the school nurse. She was overjoyed at our success and readily noticed the improvement.

Thank you so much for suggesting I take Rhus Tox for my shingles. I used all pills over the course of approximately 2 weeks and the shingles started to “clear up”. This will be the first time I’ve not had sores in quite a number of years. I am so grateful to you! I’m still “fighting” my ankylosing spondylitis but having the shingles subside has helped so much. Thanks for being there when you’re needed. I’m sure I will see you again.
