Hello everyone,

This is Greg, sorry that I have not posted in such a long time. I am doing very well in general, I hope others are too.
I created this topic because I would like to know if anyone on the board has got and seen Dr. Hauser, the one who wrote all the books, in Chicago. If so, what was your experience like? And would you recommend him? Thanks everybody! Take care,

Greg

Greg,
Here is my experience which I still do not understand to this day what happened since I talked to at least ten patients that recommended him. I believe when a person tries to treat too many people in one day the tougher cases may suffer. I felt the treatment was haphazard at best.

My initial visit and every visit thereafter- no physical examination.

Assistants come in and see how you are doing everytime and report out to him. They prepare the shot and solution without telling you what you are getting. He should talk to the patient not the assistant. At most these people have an RN degree (most did not). They were all nice, but nice does not get the patient better. He barely speaks to you.

Uses dextrose and adds zinc and magnesium to shots vs. switching solutions. Not aggressive enough for more difficult cases.

Technician - felt comfortable as shot giver, however, again seemed liked he was in a rush to get to the next patient. A few times shots were not in the correct area (did not matter since the dextrose was not strong enough).

Vitamins and supplements - pushes products too much that he sells. I must have thrown awary 6 bottles of stuff.

Read book - Don't judge a person by the books they write or the contents of the book. Thought I was going to the countries foremost expert. In reality, he tries the same thing over and over even if it does not work.

Does not give appropriate pain pills for muscle spasms and pain from shots. If you leave without getting a prescription forget it. You will have to suffer for weeks on end since you have to keep going through all his assistants.

Also, I had to ask for cream upon my own suggestion that someone on this website suggested to numb the area. He never mentioned you could ease the pain of the shot this way (some do local anethetic to ease pain since shots have to be deep enough to help - this would be too costly and time consuming for someone that sees this many patients in one day)

States in the handoout they give you that you should get better in 4-6 visits. Most literature supports 15-30 sets.

Of course my view is clouded by the fact that I did not get any better.

STAY AWAY!

Tis man has destroyed my life, first with prolotherapy and then with neuro cranial reconstruction.

The last post sums him up very nicely ,and maybe it's just me being unlucky but I swear this man has done more damage to me than I can put into words .

I have been to others who I've
had better results from though ultimately useless because of the problems this man has caused.

I have had over 5 yrs of hell as result of seeing this man and there seems no sign of let up.

regards

MD
