Dr. Seals has done wonders treating the terrific pain of trigeminal neuralgia through manipulations of the head and the body. I am 82 years old and surgery was not an option. Ten years of pain has been relieved and the medications have been reduced to a minimum. Dr. Seals I can never thank you enough!

Every since elementary school I have been on high doses of asthma medication. I never even questioned there was a different way to go about my life. Dr. Seals has been treating my lymphatics periodically for over two years. Since then I have stepped down my medication significantly from 250/50 dose of Advair twice a day to 44mcg of Flovent once a day and I am breathing better than I ever have.
