Gerald Cohen & The Center For The Healing Process

If there were any more stars, he should earn the, eg ¹⁰⁄₁₀.
My visit to Dr Cohen was a — lack of a better term — revelation. He is a prime example of a situation where one finds the wholly grail by accident instead of when actively looking for it, eg. don’t find your wallet when looking for it, but u find it later without looking.
I booked an appt for an insane back problem, of which I’m highly confident has been the result of the underlying cause of my CFS/​ME condition. Regardless, I only brought up the complaint about the back. After coming in, filling out forms, and then finally sitting down to talk, Dr Cohen spends a minute to review my completed form. He then asks me how I was diagnosed with CFS/​ME. Of course, my intent was only to talk about the back because at this point I have totally and completed written off most if not all medical professionals (after seeing 18 different doctors, going through 40 different visits — acupuncturists, western doctors, chiropractors, naturopaths, functional medicine doctors, and having spent my entire life savings on bullshit… healthcare). Back to the topic: we begin slightly debating about autoimmune diseases all the while I’m still thinking we should talk about the back only.
It turns out that this man, has essentially transcended medicine in my humble opinion. A real life House if u will. In fact if any ever asks me who the show House was modeled after I will point them towards Dr Cohen. Someone else eluded to Dr Cohen as a medical investigator. I would totally 2^nd that opinion. Let me digress a little here:
The single most notorious issue that — excuse the pun — plagues 99% of western doctors today (maybe 40% of acupuncturists) is the lack of investigative and intelligent know how and drive to truly figure out what’s wrong with someone. Every other problem one can site is more of a derivative or driver behind this primary focus. But, once you get through all the bullshit in life, many will realize that the fundamental cause of unable doctors lies with human nature: to only recognize and accept that which one has learned and is comfortable with. Which then yields arrogance, and ultimately an unfairly treated patient, medicinely, psychologically, etc
One of Bruce Lee’s pet peeves, and a focus of his teachings was the idea that we should not lock ourselves into a particular style or method of doing something, or else we will suffer the fate of limitation and trying to force something which is ineffective for a situation, eg you don’t always use karate to solve a problem, not even all confrontation problems. Dr Cohen reminds me of the adoption of the philosophy to not limit oneself, especially in medicine.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cohen’s for almost twenty years and have found him to be the most knowledgeable and effective practitioner I have ever gone to. He always treats me with deep understanding of the issues involved and I always leave his office feeling infinitely healed.
For example, after months of problem aspirating which concerned my general physician sufficiently to order a barium procedure which showed a normal esophagus, Dr. Cohen recognized the problem was not structural but functional i. e digestive and advised eating fermented foods which I did and the problem went away. That was just ONE of his remarkable interventions. He is a very talented chiropractor as well. He cured in one session a painful situation that I had been getting weekly treatment for almost a year.

In1989 I was rear-​ended at an intersection in SF and suffered a severe whip-​lash. The doctor at UCSF did not recommend surgery, but sent me to physical therapy. After almost two years of pain, the therapist I had been seeing suggested Dr. Cohen, and I went with trepidation, having grown up being taught that chiropractors were charlatans and quacks. Dr. Cohen, at that time in SF on Taraval, did a gentle adjustment because he could see I was very nervous. I went home. About an hour later, while sitting on my couch, I realized that for the first time in two years I was not in pain in my neck. That began a doctor/​patient relationship that exists to this day. I saw him regularly for years with the neck pain until it resolved because of his care. He has also helped me with severe lumbar pain. He even has corrected the shoddy work of other chiropractors. When he moved to Menlo Park, I thought MAYBE I could find another doctor in SF, went to one who hurt my neck even more, and I had to return to Dr. Cohen for him to fix the damage. I learned my lesson and never tried finding another chiropractor again. I gladly drive the 50 minutes to his office from SF when I need help. He is a treasure.

We love Dr. Cohen! At home we call him the Wizard. If my 5 and 6 year old sons are not feeling well they ask to see Dr. Cohen! I truly can not say enough about how incredibly gifted Dr Cohen is at his job. My family is a happier, healthier bunch because we have Dr. Cohen on our wellness team!

I was suffering from sinus problems and a horrible cough for over 3 months and went to see 3 different medical doctors who kept prescribing me different antibiotics and telling me that it’s just a bad sinus infection. After my 5^th round of antibiotics only made my symptoms worse, I came to Dr. Cohen who was recommended to me by my uncle. Dr. Cohen gave me his full attention and spent time asking me questions about my diet, health, etc. and suggested running some tests (which the medical doctors never suggested) before diagnosing my symptoms, although he already had an idea what was causing them. The tests showed it was actually a fungal infection (the antibiotics were only making it worse) and he prescribed herbal medicine that cured me in less than a week. I must say I was skeptical at first, but I will never doubt Dr. Cohen again. He is a miracle worker and I have been recommending him to all my friends and family.

Dr. Cohen turned my life around. For nearly 30 years, I suffered from bouts of brain fog, difficulty in concentrating, and mild depression from an apparent yeast overgrowth in my gut caused by prolonged use of antibiotics prescribed as a result of bad diagnosis. Over the course of the next 20 years no MD (and I visited many) correctly identified this underlying pathology, but nonetheless prescribed drugs which caused additional problems. When one MD finally identified the underlying cause, he prescribed Nystatin, which was effective for a few days after use, but the symptoms returned within days after I ate anything sweet (including fruit). I continued on this roller-​coaster for the next 10 years. During my first visit with Dr. Cohen, he explained that we did not need to destroy the yeast, but to restore the proper balance between yeast and the «good» bacteria in the gut. Over the following years, I observed that «restoring balance» was the recurrent theme in Dr. Cohen’s approach. After re-​balancing my gut, he restored my exhausted adrenals, and then re-​balanced my hormones and neurotransmitters. I am now able to eat anything I like (including fruit), and I feel better (I am 66 years old) than I did 15 years ago. I now see Dr. Cohen any time I don’t feel «optimal». He always finds a homeopathic remedy, herbal preparation, body manipulation, and/​or nutritional supplements that gently restore balance and turn the situation around. As a scientist, I am impressed that the foundation of Dr. Cohen’s approach is comprehensive diagnostic testing, and superior understanding of how the test variables relate to each other in a healthy body. Dr. Cohen’s remedies are designed to restore health, not to mask symptoms of disease — the current medical paradigm. I wish Dr. Cohen a long, and productive life because he is a very capable healer and a compassionate person, and also because I dread the thought of ever again trusting my health to the Big-​Pharma-​oriented medical profession.

We had consultation (about 2 hours!) with Dr. Cohen for our duaghter’s skin condition and we felt he was the only Dr. who did not just say, put some cream.
He really took his time to understand our eating habit, environment to see what type of test would be sufficient. He is really good at following up with my phone calls for any questions. I finally felt as if I’m talking to somebody who really understands our frustration and to help us heal within, without a quick patch.
He even did some body adjustment for my daughter and she (4 year old) felt totally comfortable with him. I’m looking forward to our treatment schedule.

I consider it God’s grace to have discovered Dr Cohen. After suffering for 2 years and getting depressed not knowing the reason for all the medical/​health problems I was having, after getting frustrated with the US Health system and the doctors, I was so happy to discover a man who had an «All rounded approach» for treatment.
I am from India and as a kid me and my family believed in Homeopathy. Its a science where you find the real cause of the problem and treat it rather than masking the condition by giving pain killers (which is what our Western medical system does). This is what Dr Cohen is all about. He helped me get over the mystery as why I was not able to absorb any nutrients from food and why I had constant Anemia. No matter how many regular Iron supplements I had, I was anemic.
He uses supplements made with 100% organic food. So please put a stop to all the poison you are taking in from pharmacies and go see him. I am sure he will have a answer for any problem. He is a very hard-​working, sincere and a helpful man. I still thank my stars for having met him.

Dr. COHEN CHANGES LIVES
Dr. Cohen is an extra-​ordinary practitioner and human being. He has solved problems and created healing pathways for my family for nearly 9 years, when other doctors have offered little help or prospects for positive outcomes. In 2003, he saved my career and changed by life by treating my depression & Epstein Barr syndrome with classical homeopathy. He has been a source of physical and spiritual healing ever since, Dr. Cohen truly rises above and beyond the call of duty. My husband injured his back on Christmas Eve and crawled into his office. Dr. Cohen came in just to see him at 4pm. My husband walked out of his office an hour later and we went on vacation the next day. My best friend was given a prognosis of ongoing-​deterioration due to an auto-​immune illness, from medical doctors. He is now healthier, stronger, and less immune reactive than ever. I could give so many stories of healing and transformation. I have the utmost confidence in the experience, skill, and intuition of Gerald Cohen — there is no other doctor for whom I can give such respect and trust. I have immense gratitude for how he has changed my life.

DR. COHEN SOLVES PROBLEMS
Dr. Gerald Cohen is a superior technician and medical detective. I have known of his work for over two decades, having sent numerous friends to him, as well as my wife and myself. I have been involved in two auto accidents over twenty years, and crawled in bent over with pain and walked out. When I meet someone who tells me they have a medical issue that can not be solved, I send them to Dr. Cohen. I have attended his lectures and have seen medical doctors from Stanford in the audience (they identified themselves during questions and answers). He works from a higher standard. He comes up with solutions to problems patients have given up on. He is highly schooled and consistently travelling to seminars around the country absorbing cutting-​edge knowledge and filtering it through his academic mind.
He is the ultimate Second Opinion doctor, as when you can’t seem to get something in your body or emotions fixed, he seems to know just what tool to use from his wide array of solutions. I also know insurance companies have hired him to review work done by other physicians. There is a reason he has earned the trust of fellow doctors, insurance companies, patients who have to fly in great distances to see him, and his loyal cadre of regulars who have relied on his big heart, sharp brain and open Spirit to make a major difference in their lives, as he has done in mine – Dr. Cohen solves problems.

Dr. Cohen has an uncanny ability to choose remedies that work brilliantly for the purpose of over all healing. I came to him shortly after suffering a medicinal catastrophe that landed me in a four day coma. When other avenues had failed, and the modern medical community had thrown up their hands at me, he pulled me out of a medical train wreck and put me back on the path to wellness. I went from being very sick and at home to now running a business and caring for three children as a single mom. I feel vibrant and healthy again, and when I tell my story to others they often say things like, «I just can’t picture you ever being that sick!» I highly recommend his expertise and encourage anyone on the fence about homeopathy to try it. It can’t hurt and it literally saved my life. Well done, Dr. Cohen.

I had migraine headaches for 10 years that were worsening into other symptoms. Since Dr. Cohen’s treatment at The Center For The Healing Process, I have not only been headache free but I have felt healthier mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I cannot say enough about the skill set of Dr. Gerald Cohen as he is beyond words in capabilities. Dr. Cohen is amazing in finding out what the medial issue is and I call him the «ultimate cause finder!» One instance I came to see him when my vision became blurry and was worried about my eye sight. He asked me some questions and did a little test and the answer was my thyroid was too active… interesting and accurate as Dr. Cohen explained about pathways. His seminars fill up quickly and are very insightful. I am a believer in the holistic approach and find Dr. Cohen’s knowledge in a category all by itself.
I have been several years in his care for back problems, immune system tune ups and general care. Dr. Cohen comes highly recommended and I pass him on to you with much confidence.
