Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 Dear Tim, You wrote, " I tried Dr. Gersten and his protocol for a six month period. About half of my amino acids were marginally low when tested. The supplements were about $600 a month, no lie, and of course insurance didn't reimburse. I did not benefit at all from the therapy. The price of the supplements he uses, Tyson & Associates, are way overpriced compared to similar products. If you do the math, including doctor's fees, you can see how expensive it was, and yet zero benefit. In my case, ignorance wasn't bliss. This was my experience and I cannot speak for anyone else. " Tim, we had the same experience, and I agree with everything you said. Sue B. upstate New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Has anyone used Dr. Dennis Gersten's amino acid protocol (from The Gersten Insitute) or know of any feedback about it?

The supplements he uses from Tyson are beyond overpriced. The cost of just those alone along with vitamins and trypofan (sp) was over $600 per month. I sought out his treatment, but he made a statement to me that in retrospect should have set off the red flags. That being " You can buy your way out of this illness. " It was early in the illness for me and he told me what I wanted to hear. Expensive lesson. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I discontinued it (I couldn't afford it anyway) --- I wasted over $1000.00 and still felt like crap. I then went to my local health food store and bought a large bag of whey protein (Big Whey brand) and took it for several months, about $45.00 for one month. I have since had the amino test repeated at my local Dr's and all my levels are ok. My fatigue level is about the same so I noticed no benefit. The bottom line is don't waste your money.
