Patient Testimonials:

Cypress Natural Medicine provides an excellent resource for physicians and patients looking for an integrative approach to health care. They work collaboratively with the entire health care team, and I can always count on them deliver clear communications regarding shared patients.  -Dr. Walter Sipe, MD, Clinical Instructor in Pediatric Gastroenterology, UCSF Children’s Hospital

I developed acute anxiety coupled with panic attacks this past year in my mid-sixties. Conventional approaches with western medicine did not work very well. Psychotherapy and limited hypnotherapy were helpful but did not eliminate the anxiety. It was still interfering with my life. While still frustrated, I was referred to Cypress Natural Medicine by my psychotherapist. After a very thorough evaluation by Dr. Bryan and Dr. Destia, I eagerly pursued their Naturopathic and CrainioSacral Therapy courses of treatment. Significant relief came quickly. My panic attacks have ceased and the anxiety is much more under control. Dr. Bryan and Dr. Destia are very skilled, caring and thorough. With only 3 months of treatment, I have been very happy with the results. -P.S., Palo Alto

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.
-S.R.C., Mountain View

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

Destia is a compassionate and talented healer. She creates a safe and comfortable environment in her office. As an ND she is very in tune with her patients. I highly recommend her for her Cranio-Sacral (CST) work as well. She worked magic for my migraines!  Top qualities: Great Results , Personable , Expert. -L.D., Santa Rosa

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

Destia brings her whole heart to everything she does. She is a wonderful biodynamic cranial practitioner and naturopathic physician, and has a warm, effective way with children and adults. I would recommend her to anyone needing the subtle work of craniosacral therapy. Her work is informed by her ability to listen deeply to one’s being and body… and should not be missed! Willow Dea MS, OTR/L, Director , Advanced Integrative Training

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. -R.P., Mountain View

I have visited osteopaths, as needed, for the past 50 years. In doing so, I’ve seen techniques change and evolve. With Dr. Logan, the end result is a gentle, hands-on, amazingly effective method. It continually suprises me that I can mention where I feel discomfort, and with a few precise movements, the problem is solved. My treatments end with me feeling relieved, relaxed and refreshed. She helps keep me active and functioning at a very satisfactory level for age 83. She is pleasant and inspires confidence. Dr. Logan is a treasure. -M.B, Sunnyvale

Dr. Bryan is an incredibly patient and kind listener with great diagnostic skills. If you are looking for more natural remedies for your medical issues, I highly recommend you schedule an initial free consultation with him. He and his team offer many healing modalities. I have found working with my doctor and Dr. Bryan to be the perfect blend of Western and Eastern medicine.-L.S., Palo Alto

STRAWBERRY-FRUITS-VEGETABLES

The latest research reporting no benefit for breast cancer reoccurrence seems flawed. They did not report what type or sources of vegetables and fruit the subjects ate. Here at Cypress Natural Medicine we understand that all plants are not created equal. Veggies with higher lignin’s and higher cancer fighting elements like the sulfonamides found in broccoli can produce greater anti-cancer benefits.

The second flaw we noted was that levels of organic fruits and vegetables consumed was not listed. Pesticides are well documented to be breast cancer promoters and just by increasing the amounts of pesticides in the women could help to promote cancer as the veggies were fighting the cancer. Pesticide free, vine ripened, canned verses fresh are all important factors to the quality of the food we are consuming. These are all important elements when trying to fight cancer with fruit and veggies.

This is not a study to say that fruit and veggies don’t prevent cancer in first place. This is about reoccurrence of breast cancer not cancer prevention. The fabulous flavinoids in our fruit and vegetables are widely shown to prevent cancer by protecting our cells and increasing our immune system but the quality is just as important as the quantity.

In this study design the subjects were counting all sources of plant life including canned, microwaves, non organic sources. This is a flaw in the information. This may not be due to the fruits and vegetable not doing the job but instead the many factors that increase quality in our foods. . There is such a wealth of research on the fabulous effects of our plant based diets that plants should remain the major basis for every day eating.

The lesson of this study is the importance that not all fruits and veggies are created equal. Here are some guidelines for getting the most out of your fruit and veggie eating:

1. Choose organic whenever possible. Pesticides are associated with cancer. No reason to cancel out the effects of your healthy eating.

2. Shop at your local farmers market. Local vine ripened plants are higher nutrition because they are fresher.

3. Eat a majority of fresh, lightly steamed or sautéed veggies

4. Eat the rainbow of colors. Choose vibrant colors and at least 5 colors to explore each day. The health protective factors are in the color and flavor molecules of our plants.

5. Eat a wide variety of fresh fruits and veggies. There are over 300,000 different types of edible plants. Start exploring new colors and flavors.
