Success Stories
Patient Jack and Sharon Earp:
The first time Jack walked into Dr. Townsend's office, he was in excruciating pain, bent to one side, and relying on a cane for support. This back injury was the result of trying to move a hay ring by himself nearly three years ago. He went to medical doctors, had ultrasound tests, underwent chiropractic manipulations, taken muscle relaxers, highly potent pain pills, endured five spinal short-the last one took thirteen (13) injections before the correct nerve was found-and Jack said, "No more shots for me". The only other option was surgery, however, we know people who have suffered through the operation only to find nothing had really changed so Jack's world consisted of a recliner, ice packs, heat pad, and TV. To make matters worse, he drives a school bus, which aggravated the injury. Not much to look forward to! Then he heard about Dr. Townsend's amazing success story for a woman who had been severely burned, and decided to set up an appointment after all, what could he lose? The first visit they set up a plan of treatment which began that morning. Dr. Townsend told Jack to stick with him for twelve (12) weeks and he would feel completely different. The main method of healing was with high tech machines, including the laser. Jack went as many as four (4) times a week, always determining it to be the final time as he couldn't tell any difference. After a month, he conceded maybe there had been a change, a few weeks more and the cane was retired. Dr. Townsend never initiated a treatment that hadn't been completely explained first and any questions answered. If Jack still wasn't sure about it, they suggested an alternative, but always, Jack was in control of his healing, nothing was forced or hidden. Of course, it took time to overcome an injury like this and there were setback, but Jack is still standing tall once more, pain free, taking natural supplements instead of popping dangerous pills. Another surprising side-benefit was that the laser made many of Jack's varicose veins smaller or totally eliminated them. He can go fishing again, works on the farm and enjoys life once more. In the mean time, Jack's wife, Sharron, also started going to Dr. Townsend for thyroid problems, their son and daughter also started. We could never recommend anyone we weren't comfortable with, which is why it is with great deal of enthusiasm we are encouraging anyone to at least make an appointment to ask questions. So what does the future hold for us now? We bought a Honda Trike for our 48th anniversary last week and we are looking forward to touring
Patient Judith Learmann:
My contact with Dr. Townsend began in 1991 when I was having problems
with both shoulders after two hard falls on ice. When I began to lose range
of motion, I went to a medical clinic for help, but I wasn't improving, and
my shoulders were hurting most of the time.
When some of my husband's clients with serious pain issues began coming
into his office feeling good again, they gave the credit to Dr. Townsend who
had just opened his St. Robert office. My husband, not an easy man to
impress, was amazed at their improvement and advised me to visit Dr T. I
made an appointment and after several treatments, my shoulder pain was gone
and my range of movement was back to normal. From then on I went for
monthly "maintenance" treatments to keep feeling great.
Three years ago, after wearing prescribed rigid orthotics for six
months, I began having leg pain during the night that prevented me from
sleeping over an hour and a half at a stretch. Prescribed pain medication
gave no relief so I turned to Dr. T for help. With percussion, e-stem and
ultrasound treatments, Dr. T and his staff relieved that pain, allowing me
to sleep comfortably again.
Two years later I began having problems with my left hip and leg.
Eventually, the verdict was that I would require a hip replacement. Since I
was a teacher at the high school, I really wanted to finish the school year
before having that surgery. Therapy at Dr. T's that included the newer
laser and percussion treatments, along with biocleanses, therapeutic
massages, and biocranial treatments allowed me to survive that school year
and kept me walking until my surgery date. The same therapies helped me
during my recovery.
Now I am undergoing the Allergenix procedures as once again, Dr. T is
offering a new technology for the benefit of his patients. After the
procedures completed so far, I now can eat from some problem food groups
without having the usual headaches afterward.
Dr. T is always on a continual quest for the latest ways to improve and
upgrade his patient services. He is never satisfied with the status quo.
Instead he is always learning and teaching. Dr. T has also surrounded
himself with a knowledgeable and caring staff who welcome those who visit
his clinic. The Townsend team is terrific and truly wants the best for
those who walk through the clinic door. I appreciate all they have done for
me.
Patient Cynthia Morgan
My name is Cynthia Morgan. I am on my 5th biocleanse treatment. I was interested in improving my health. A friend told me about Dr. T's biocleanse.
My knees feel great. They used to feel stiff and sore, but not now. I can move around and enjoy going for walks.
I noticed my face has a nice texture. People tell me I look good. When you feel good, you do look good.
I hope if you are reading this, you too will take time for yourself to do the biocleanse treatment and get your own great results.
Patient W.R.
In early 2005 W.R. purchased a new suit; this was intended to be his last suit. W.R. was planning to be buried in that suit. The purchase of the suit was just one of many tasks necessary to put life's affairs in order prior to his anticipated death.
W.R. had suffered for years from uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure. As a result, his kidneys were failing. HIs physicians told him he would require kidney dialysis in order to stay alive. W.R. felt he would rather die in peace than go through the rigors of dialysis.
In a desperate effort to find hope, he sought "alternative" care at Townsend Chiropractic and
Although W.R. would receive many natural therapies, perhaps of foremost importance would be detoxification. Detoxification would be helpful from two perspectives. First of all, his body was becoming dangerously toxic due to the failure of his kidneys. Secondly, his body would need relief from a lifetime of toxins in order to restore kidney function.
The process used to detoxify W.R. is ionic attraction and osmosis. In this procedure, an electrical device called an array ionizes the minerals in tap water. The charged particles attract particles of the opposite charge and neutralize them. The neutralized particles literally come out of the body through a process known as osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term that describes the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. The process takes 25 minutes per session. In critical cases such as W.R. 20 or more sessions are needed. The typical patient receives 10 treatments over a 5-week period.
During the early course of treatment, W.R. was encouraged to continue care with his medical physicians and get the kidney dialysis. Much to the physicians' surprise, however, W.R. no longer needed the dialysis! Not only that, for the first time in over a decade, his blood pressure was within normal limits, and his blood sugar was no longer dangerously high. Both of these issues were of paramount importance since it was the uncontrolled blood sugar and high blood pressure that were responsible for the kidney failure.
Mr. R did put that suit to good use: in April of 2006 he was able to go to Governor Blunt's mansion and meet both the Governor and his wife. That was just one of many fulfilling life experiences that W.R. now gets to enjoy with his family and grand children. Instead of planning for his death, he now plans for his future!
Patient Diana Keeth
My name is Diana and I would like to give my testimony as to how Dr. Townsend and his work have changed my life for the better.
My nightmare started after having a general dentist extract an abscessed jaw tooth. Four days later I knew something was not right. The right side of my check swelled and started throbbing and my head was pounding. I went to see my primary care doctor who said I had an infection. I took antibiotics but the pain continued. I then continued to see a general oral surgeon, an oral maxillofacial surgeon who found no abnormalities and an ENT who diagnosed me with Actinomycosis. When I finished the course of antibiotics, the pain and swelling would start to increase again each time. I then went to a neurologist and was prescribed neurological medications. I went to another neurologist for a second opinion and he performed a nuclear Plantar-Spect and a nuclear bone scan. I was having a lot of side effects from the Tegratal the neurologist prescribed. The side effects included nose bleeds, hives, swelling and lacerations in my mouth. I was also taking Neurontin and Amoxicillin. I was a zombie, I had no life and I just exsisted. On many days my husband had to help me get dressed. I could not play with my grandchildren or have them stay the night. I also could not do basic functions such as clean my house or cook, I just sat on the couch. I went back to the general oral surgeon who ordered a CT scan of my sinuses but no infection or abnormalities were noted.
I was referred from one doctor to another, I saw a general dentist, an MD, a DO, general oral surgeon, five oral maxillofacial surgeons, endodontist, four ENTs, three neurologists, a professor of oral and maxillofacial pathology, pain clinic, plastic surgeon and an infectious specialist. Yet I was not finding any help I needed and my health was going down fast. There seemed to be nothing I could do to stop it.
After much thought I decided to try acupuncture and that is when Dr. Townsend and his work came into my life. When I walked into his office the pain level in my face and head was an 8. I also had lost some of my hearing. I was having severe migraines and pain in my low back and joints. I was fatigued, short of breath and having difficulty sleeping. I had acupuncture and laser work at Dr. Townsend’s office. My pain decreased from 8 to a 2. Dr. Townsend performed a procedure called the Bio Cranial. This procedure has helped me to hear better and to breathe deeper. I also did detoxification 2-3 times a week to cleanse all the toxins out of my body from all the medications, radiation and chemicals I had encountered. Dr. Townsend was able to determine my nutritional needs by mean of the Health Scan. After taking the prescribed nutrients, I was able to eliminate most of the prescribed drugs I was on. I finally had an appointment with a doctor that cared about my health and my recovery.
After considerable financial and emotional expense, I have finally found hope. Dr. Townsend through the 6 steps to Wellness Program has eliminated the interferences to my health. My health is returning and the quality of my life is improving.
