Dear Dr. Smith,

I want to sincerely thank you for the personal attention I received from you, your wife, and your staff during my recent attendance at your workshops. I finally found a mentor who has dedicated his life to perfecting a health care alternative to the failed allopathic model that we were all trained under in the past. I live by a saying that states "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Well, apparently I was ready because Dr. Gerald Smith appeared.

During the workshop, Dr. Smith not only shared his years of clinical experience but also the teachers and learning pathway that he followed to develop his techniques. Having been blessed with an extensive background of continuing education as well as 25 years of practicing dentistry, I was searching for a mentor to tie all the loose ends together. Dr. Smith's workshops provided this setting where the attendees could see live patient treatment as well as clinical application of his alternative treatment concepts.

Dr. Smith is also gracious enough to diagnose and offer treatment solutions to any student that requests his attention. I probably learned more about my own health than I thought possible. Treating as many pain patients as I do, I sometimes tend to overlook my own health. Since my return home, I have instituted all of Dr. Smith's suggestions and I feel remarkably well. Probably the highlight of the workshops has been my improved well-being and the realization that most humans do not realize how unbalanced their own bodies are because of nature's great ability to compensate.

I love the fact that Dr. Smith teaches from a common sense point of view rather than the ivory tower, arrogant tone that most of us experienced during our dental school days. I find that the simplest answer is usually the right answer, and Dr. Smith has spent his life refining difficult treatment modalities down to easily understood, easily taught concepts.

From my own years of study, I can truthfully say that I am in awe of the incredible amount of information I brought home from the workshops. I believe that one day Dr. Smith's new book "Alternative Treatment for Conquering Chronic Pain" will be considered a textbook to anyone in the healthcare field because he is dead on in his diagnostic approach and treatment delivery.

Thanks for the great learning opportunity ... I was not a hard sale ... With your help I will continue to strive to develop the skills you taught at your office because I know they work ... I am just sorry that the smartest in my profession seem to be such a threat to the status quo ... I will be bringing my staff to your next workshop!

Sincerely,
Mark Warden D.D.S.
