I’ve wanted to tell my story for a while, there is so much to it, I feel it could almost be a book with chapters and this has been such a miraculous journey for me that it’s quite difficult to put the experience into words. Here is my best attempt. 

Let me start at the beginning. 

At the age of 73 my life had reached a point of numbness, misery and I was just barely surviving. I lived one day at a time. It was one of the most painful times in my life. The pain was unbearable. Everything hurt; my body, heart, mind, brain, and even my soul was in pain. I was broken and I didn’t know what to do. I found myself completely disconnected from life, from my Creator and had lost the will to live. I had reached 325 pounds, I could barely walk a few feet even with a cane. The basic functions in life had become nearly impossible and I was on a dozen medications. Plus mentally I was so disoriented and disconnected I could barely function. I was diagnosed and suffering from obesity, hypertension, incontinence, type 2 diabetes, depression, anxiety, sleep apnea, the in ability to focus, memory loss, early onset of dementia, Alzheimer’s and more. My kidneys, liver and intestines were shutting down and failing and my bladder had shut down. I had suffered through two bouts of cancer over the last few years, first colon then prostrate, the chemotherapy was brutal and then I developed C diff which lasted for months. I had also had a stent put in and suffered through several minor heart attacks. It was the lowest point of my life. My health was so bad that the doctors said it was time to admit me into assisted living and they didn’t know how much longer I had left to live. 

On February 28th, 2021 I flew from Wisconsin to Orange County Ca. I was escorted off the plane in a wheel chair and greeted by Dr. Aaron. Once we arrived at the Dojo he took me into this sanctuary for the body, mind and spirit and immediately began working on me. Honestly most of the first few weeks are a complete blur. I had reached the point where I was no longer able to care for myself so simple tasks like shaving, clipping my toe nails, etc. we’re loving performed by Dr. Aaron. 

From the very first moment we started working together things began to dramatically improve. My body’s ability to move was increasing every day, the weight was falling off, I began to focus and for the first time in a long time I began to feel. Waves of sadness and emotion poured out of my body. My heart, my mind and my soul were healing. This time was such a profound healing and so many miracles happened that I find it impossible to explain most of it and putting it into words is not possible.  

I do know that after only 9 months working together I am the most blessed man on earth. I have been reborn! Today I find myself in love with life, my family and most importantly myself. My faith in my Creator has been renewed. I am in love with my Creator again. I also find myself filled with purpose. 

Emotionally I now live life from a place of gratitude, happiness & humility. I’m loving toward myself and others and find that most of the time I’m very calm. My body is strong again and I am able to play with my grandkids and do all of the things I want to do in life including cooking for my family. 

My last check up and blood test revealed that ALL of my health conditions have been completely reversed, all of my blood numbers are within the healthy range and I have reduced 135 lbs. Also I’ve suffered with mild to severe eczema since I was a little boy and for the first time in my life I’m completely free from any of the symptoms. My urologist has been so blown away that they call me the miracle patient and he called Dr. Aaron to thank him and let him know he’s never seen anything like it in his whole career. I am free! No longer in hell or confined in a prison within my body.

I am so thankful for the profound healing that I have experienced, the diagnosis that have been reversed and the life I am now able to live. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Aaron’s Love, Knowledge, Dedication, Care and Compassion. I love him so much. Ironically five days a week I now get up at 4 am and go work fulltime at an assisted living and memory care facility for the elderly in Corona Del Mar.

Since the 1970’s I’ve been on again and off again on the path of self-development. I’ve read many books (OG Mandino, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Paramahansa Yogunanda , etc.), taken hundreds of hours of workshops and studied with some of the greats including Zig Ziglar, Robert Schuler & Dr. David Hawkins. I’ve also lived at the Deer Park Monastery’s of Thich Nhat Hanh and at Mont-Pelerin in the mountains in Geneva Switzerland,  given years of my life to church groups (became an elder before the age of 30 and a pastor since the later 70’s) and spent time with a few pioneers in the field of self-development and healing. So after 4 decades of self-development and spiritual/religious studies, I can unequivocally share with you that working with Aaron has been more life changing than all of those things combined!

Here is the irony to this story. I was there when Dr. Aaron was born and I have known him all of his life because he is my son! I am so proud to call him my son. He saved my life. To me he is a saint who produces miracles. I don’t have enough words to describe my gratitude and how blessed I am for I cannot measure the gift that Dr. Aaron has given me, nor can I put a price on it. I know you might think I’m saying that because he’s my son. Trust me, I’m not!

One of the toughest parts for me during this journey was I experienced a complete role reversal. The father had become the son and the son had become the father. This was a very humbling thing for me to go through. 

I know that with who Dr. Aaron is and his belief, dedication, knowledge, application of tools, and the sanctuary he has created, his commitment to those he works with and his thirst for continual self-growth that anything is possible. I know that since he was able to help me then he can help anyone! To someone considering taking the leap and working with him I would like you to think about what your life is worth. 

Thank you Aaron. Words cannot express my gratitude for what you have given me. I know that my journey from here will only get better. I now have so much to look forward to and I plan to live to 100 and witness my grandchildren getting married. 

I love you,
