“Nine months ago my wife convinced me I should see Dr. Gerard. I had a little pain in my hip from two years ago but could live with it. After the exam I realized my structure wasn’t as good as I thought. After the first adjustment, I’ve had no pain in the hip or shoulder since. Over the next nine months my life was transformed through Maximized Living seminars. After nine months I found out I had lost ten points and dropped my cholesterol 9%! Dr. Gerard has helped me change my lifestyle so I can live to see my grandchildren get married and have great grandchildren! Thank you Dr. Gerard.” – Tom Pau.
