Testimonial:  Successful Treatment of Non-Hodgkins' Lymphoma

"I'm writing to express my sincerest gratitude to the staff at FirstHealth of Andover. When I first came to see David Sollars for acupuncture last fall (soon after beginning chemotherapy treatments for non-hodgkins' lymphoma), I had never been as ill, more physically miserable, or apprehensive. From the beginning, I knew I'd found a special health-care practitioner and the entire staff of FirstHealth to be incredibly supportive, efficient, and kind. Everyone was and continues to be part of my healing team. The advice I received on nutrition was incredibly informative and practical. I'd always eaten a healthy diet and was surprised and pleased with her advice.

Regular acupuncture treatments coordinated with chemotherapy helped me to stay as strong as possible as my body was assaulted by the toxic drugs. Our work together with the Chinese herbs that we began once the chemotherapy and acupuncture were finished has helped me back to excellent health in a very short time, despite 22 radiation treatments that followed chemotherapy! My immune system is strong and I feel vibrant. I especially appreciate your sensitivity to my concerns over possible premature menopause caused by the chemotherapy and of normal sexual function. I also appreciate your respect for and knowledge of both eastern and western medicine.

As a healthcare practitioner myself, it was extremely challenging to be on the receiving end of the healthcare system. Thank you, David, and your entire staff for everything you've done for me over the past several months. You are a special group of people."

In love and gratitude,
B.A.,PT and feldenkrais practitioner
