Let me start by saying I am a twisted bundle of knots: knots of coagulated energies, anxiety, stress, the whole 9 yards. I've been working on restoring this aspect of myself for YEARS now. I don't do therapy or a lot of "common" remedial treatments because of the one-way operational system of Western Heath Care. Far too often have my cultural and spiritually based needs been overlooked or ignored when I venture into the average Doctor's office. Though I do respect them for their practice, I feel very rushed to get through the appointment, as well as feelings of helplessness due to the small amount of information given to me on my ailments. Furthermore, it took me 24 years until I found a doctor at the clinic I visited (which I no longer go to, so there is no need to mention it by name) who I was actually able to connect with and made me feel comfortable about the information I was sharing (you know, with this stranger). When she left I had to make a choice; keep seeing doctors I know make me uncomfortable or try to find a Spiritual Healer- I had been searching for three years. Then, BY THE GRACE OF SOMETHING/SOMEBODY I found Dr. James Gilchrist in January of 2020, and started making appointments immediately. As I've mentioned I have a lot of energetic "clogs", but within the first week of seeing Dr. G for acupuncture, I found the angry/anxious/hasty segments of my behavior were slowly starting to relinquish control to the harmonious aspects of my Self. He went through my daily habits, moods, just about anything that makes me 'me', so we could find out what's needed to compensate for my wiry personality. He helped me to identify how my stress and weight loss were connected, and how I could gain and maintain a healthy weight balance through the proper diet and sleep schedule. Lately, overall perception and mechanisms of stress management have altered dramatically, which has led to an uplift in critical judgement as well as decision making. Considering I have a quarter of a lifetime's worth of impeded energies- most of which are due to mental health- I cannot and WILL not stop seeing Dr. Gilchrist. I am far too afraid of losing any progress I've made in the time I have sought his treatment, and I'm trying to get all my friends and family to come see him. If there's anyone out there with skeptical or trust issues like me, Come. See. This. Man!
Plus he's got fun stories!!

I have worked with Dr. Gilchrist in depth for several months. When I became a new patient he did a very detailed health history looking at all areas of my health. We did labs, acupuncture, supplements, herbal medicine, dietary advice and more. He always took the time to explain why he believed the medicine or treatment would help me. Throughout the process, I always felt very supported and listened to. I have seen significant improvement in my vitiligo and eczema since becoming a patient. I look forward to continuing my healing journey at Parker Natural Medicine.
