As Told By Her Mother
Laura's Problems Started At Birth
"The day my daughter, Laura, was born was very
exciting for me. Although for her it was much different.
"Laura was born crying hysterically and kept crying
for what seemed an eternity. Four hours after entering
this world she had calmed down long enough to start nursing.
"During the first four years of her life, I began
to feel as though things were not quite right. Laura
spent 80 percent of her waking hours in tears.
"As she began school she had her good days and
her bad days. School became a dreaded chore. She had
trouble making friends and struggled to keep up with
the lessons. It would take us about 2-1/2 hours to do
about 45 minutes worth of work.
"Under the recommendation of the school counselor,
I took her to see various psychologists. They wanted
to put her on medications for depression and ADD.
"The older Laura became, the worse her attitude
became. She went through crying spells, had misdirected
anger towards pets, trouble sleeping and all around depression.
She genuinely believed she was a bad girl and on one
could ever love her.
In Desperation, Seeking Help From Dr. Gillespie
"After one more crying spell, I had reached
the end of my rope with Laura.
"Her crying spells, her depressed moods, everything
had to come to an end. Seven years was enough. I was
willing to try anything.
"Luckily, my older daughter was attending a muscle
therapy course in Oakes, PA. During that time, Dr. Gillespie
had given a seminar.
So, I took Laura to see Dr. Gillespie even though my
family and friends strongly advised against it."
"Incredible Progress" After Six Visits
"The Brain Doctor, as we affectionately call him,
has become a major part of our lives. In the past six
visits, my daughter has made incredible progress. Her
crying spells have almost come to an end. Her attitude
toward school and her peers has also improved.
"Dr. Gillespie
has done this without the use of medications.
"Laura has also been sleeping a lot better. Before,
she was having difficulty breathing at night, which made
her very restless and unable to get the rest she needed.
Now she literally sleeps like a baby.
"I would strongly recommend to anyone with a newborn
or a young child to visit with Dr. Gillespie. Do not
wait as long as I have to give your child the proper
help they deserve.
"I feel truly blessed for everything Dr. Gillespie
has done for my child. To finally be able to
see her smile, know she's sleeping soundly, know she can breathe
freely, and seeing a marked improvement in her schoolwork
has made me feel better about myself. I know that she
is finally getting the proper treatment that she needs.
"Now we both rest easy and our relationship has
improved."
