These are difficult times for people to think about health. You cannot open a newspaper, watch the news, scroll through Facebook or flip through Instagram and YouTube without seeing/hearing another article on this year’s bumper crop of viruses, the pros and cons of vaccines, newly emerging heart and orthopedic diseases as well as the usual, mind-spinning conflicting and contradictory dietary […]
By Susan Tretakis – Coral Springs, Florida – If writing about healthy food and good nutrition in November wasn’t difficult enough, writing about taking some time for care for just yourself in the month of December walks a scary line between sanity and insanity. December heralds a month where everyone I know is running in too many directions at once. […]
I have to be honest; for me, beginning in September and throughout December, I feel as if I am under a continual attack from a variety of poor, unhealthy food choices. Tempting choices. Foods that I rarely think about now literally scream my name – from the television, from the free samples being given out at markets, from recipes demonstrated daily […]
Fibromyalgia, also known as fibromyalgia syndrome, is a chronic or lasting disorder that is generally symptomized by widespread continuous musculoskeletal aching that comes with memory problems or difficulties in paying attention, fatigue, depression and sleep problems. Fibromyalgia is blamed for amplifying pain around the body’s tender points by impacting on the way the brain processes pain signals. Women are at a […]
Environmental toxins, genetically and chemically modified foods, and gut dysbiosis are creating health issues in our children. Our detoxification systems and immune systems are on over-drive reacting to constant triggers both inside and outside the body. Infectious diseases may be at an all-time low, but chronic conditions that are inflammatory and immune based are at an all-time high. The conditions affecting […]
I admit it – it was a riveting smack to the head which threw me WAY back into my past. As many of you know, I grew up in a time of huge televisions, a time when the networks were just introducing colorized shows, stereo “cabinets” and tethered telephone lines. I can even remember “telephone party lines” but even at my […]
I am a fan of New Years’ – not because of the party on New Years’ Eve (I don’t do, have never done, New Year Eve parties) but I like the sense of closing out one year and beginning a new year with a fresh outlook. I like to celebrate the successes of the year past – and to set […]
I’m having another one of my Western Medicine vs. Traditional Chinese Medicine moments. I am a bit annoyed, more than a bit frustrated and very angry. I’ve just been to one of the leading eye institutes in South Florida. Suffice it to say, relief, as suggested by the cheery computer who routed my call to the appointment desk, was not […]
I have seen drastic improvements since I started seeing Dr. Herbst. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and treat my symptoms with herbs. Initially I was skeptical, but now I am a full believer in acupuncture and natural medicine. I would encourage everyone to try acupuncture at least for one month to feel the difference.
This is an important article about the ups and downs of modern health care. The idea that she couldn't get fresh fruit and vegetables and "real protein" like fresh eggs is shocking. More shocking is the idea that she shouldn't question the medical staff. As a rabbi, I spend a lot of time visiting people in the hospital. Often I am called upon to interpret what a doctor has said. I have a number of people who are using more and more holistic medicines like acupuncture and Qi. I am sharing this article with a number of people.
The doctors and staff have always been extremely helpful. I started taking herbs to relieve symptoms of menopause and they have helped me tremendously. Dr. Herbst always takes the time to listen to how I am feeling. I am truly thankful to have him overseeing my treatment!
I began going to Dr. Robert Herbst in 2015 when I was struggling with unexplained infertility. He helped us conceive our beautiful little girl (which I wrote a review on previously with the timeline of that part of my story). I began going back to him again in July of 2018 as we were trying to have another baby with little success again. I was actually getting pregnant this time around but was unable to hold the pregnancies. When I met with him again, he asked me several questions and after looking at my tongue and checking my pulse, he basically told me in a nutshell that my body was in stress and I needed to take some time to reboot myself both physically and emotionally. I began doing acupuncture weekly, taking herbs again, and spending a little time each week on "me". He asked us not to try conceiving again for a couple months until he felt like I was strong enough. In late September he gave us the go ahead to try for this next cycle. We conceived our son the first week of October!!! I had really bad anxiety about losing this baby as well so I started going to him twice a week for a few weeks which really helped! I am currently almost 15 weeks pregnant and I can honestly say that both of my children were conceived because of Dr. Robert's help! I am so grateful for him and everything he has done for my family! I recommend anyone who is struggling with having a baby to go see him!
I’m so thankful this office was highly recommended to me and hope this review will do the same for you! They get you in right away, the entire staff is wonderful to be around and their care is second to none. I could not imagine this past year without Dr. Zhou, her breadth of knowledge and compassionate and caring manner. Jessica at the front desk will always great you with a kind smile and work to make appointments work with your schedule. If you are in need of care I totally believe this will be the haven you are looking for :)
