Patient Testimonials:

Dear Dr. Destia,
You are one of the best doctors that we have come across since my sons illness. I want to thank you for being so understanding and patient with my many questions and for going above and beyond to accommodate confidentiality by having phone consultations with me prior to my son’s appt. Your kindness really helped me through this difficult time. I feel that my son is in good hands.
P.C., San Leandro

My daughter and I have had excellent results with NAET. We were both eliminating about 30 food while she was nursing and before out treatment to avoid constant rashes, hives and behavior problems. We did many, many treatments with Jen and we can now eat everything!
V.B., Mountain View

Both of my sons have been receiving NAET treatments for allergies and I have noticed a substantial change in their general health and behavior. I have observed that they are more focused and illness linked to allergies is virtually gone! I highly recommend this non-invasive treatment to anyone suffering from allergies or behavioral issues.

I was suffering from severe migraines which would last 24 hours about 3 times a week. I could not move my head without intense pain and nausea. I had to quit working and was afraid to socialize or travel fearing an attack, so basically my life was consumed by the migraines and I was a total wreck. I tried numerous medications and went to numerous doctors, but did not find help and eventually gave up on western medicine. I started receiving craniosacral therapy on a regular basis. I am really happy I stuck with it because after about 4-5 months, the migraines started to taper off and then disappeared altogether! Thank you!!
A.R., San Francisco

My 1 year old son suffered from extreme gastrointestinal discomfort that left western medical doctors stumped. Subsequently, my son had many behavioral issues and difficulty sleeping. I was referred to Jen and we began a series of NAET treatments that definitely helped relieve the severity of some of his symptoms, but did not eliminate the problem completely. We then saw Dr. Bryan for homeopathy and Dr. Destia for craniosacral therapy. After just a few appointments, I saw a tremendous shift and now have a happy and healthy boy!
D.D., San Jose

I used to spend 2 days a month in agony with migraine headaches. I took medication that did not always work and had adverse side effects. Cypress Natural Medicine helped me and I am migraine free, have more energy and am feeling in balance. Thank you!
K.D., Redwood City

My son has suffered severe digestive problems for the past 5 years. After having 3 invasive diagnostic procedures that left him with adverse reactions and a recommendation of lifetime medication and life-altering surgery, we sought a natural approach. After coming to Dr. Bryan, we began to see signs of steady improvement where his symptoms began disappearing altogether. Now my son is off to summer camp and living the life of a normal boy after being so ill he missed 3 months of school. Dr. Bryan has restored my son’s quality of life and I am eternally grateful for that.

Cypress Natural Medicine News

cypress-logo-2-06.jpg

Welcome to Cypress Natural Medicine! Fall signifies a dramatic transition of seasons with shorter days, cooler temperatures, and an increased occurrence of colds and flus. Just as the seasons change, so does the mind and body. Fall is a time when plants begin to internalize their energy in order to prepare for winter. This is similar to what the body does. Individuals tend to spend far less time being active outdoors and spend more time on introspection. Fall is a time of building – building the immune system, reevaluating and building strategies for the future, and holding on. A sign of good health is the ability to successfully transition as the seasons change. For many individuals, they notice health issues occur at the time of a season change. This issue of our newsletter includes articles on readying your immune system for winter, exploring health savings accounts as an empowered healthcare choice, and upcoming health promoting opportunities. Enjoy!
