Patient Experience's
"I am writing to recommend Dr. Brian Hardy. He is extremely competent, kind and skillful. he relates well to patients and fellow practitioners. From a personal standpoint, he was able to treat my acute discognenic back pain quickly and efficaciously, allowing me to return to my operative schedule pain free. Dr. Hardy is an asset and I am happy to recommend him without reservation."
Why did you select Dr. Hardy and his practice? Allergies and NAET practice.
What health problems were you having that you came to Dr. Hardy for help? Extremely tired, to the point of feeling exhausted and very foggy thinking.
Allergy problems with seasonal allergies, all year round and also indoor allergies, of every type, also food allergies.
What health problems did Dr. Hardy help you with? I have much more energy and think much more clearly.
Dr. Hardy did some blood testing and found that I have gluten intolerance and Hashimoto’s Disease, which causes tiredness and foggy thinking.
He has also cleared up the majority of my allergies.
The only allergies that haven’t been cleared are the ones we haven’t worked on yet.
Before you came to us for help, what other things did you try? Went to a chiropractor and got adjusted and aligned, but it didn’t help the tiredness.
Went to an allergist several years ago for over a year and did allergy shots. They made me worse off. Took many allergy meds to try and clear my
head.
What was the outcome of the treatment or treatments you received? I feel 100% better. I have energy and I am thinking more clearly. I still have a ways to go, but the treatments thus far have helped me immensely.
What were the most positive aspects of your experience? Feeling good and I got rid of some excessive fat around my stomach area. It went away after I quit eating gluten products, which my body is allergic to.
Would you recommend Dr. Hardy’s services to your friends and family members? I do and I have. I’m trying to get my mom to go and see him. Her insurance doesn’t cover his services and treatment, but the MD’s haven’t been able to help her.
If so, which of Dr. Hardy’s services did you recommend to friends and family members? The best treatment for them. None of our problems are the same. The nice thing about Dr. Hardy is that he is so knowledgeable and
trained in so many different areas that he can find out what is wrong and go about fixing it, instead of
treating symptoms. Please feel free to share additional comments about Dr. Hardy’s
services.
Dr. Hardy is trying to find out what is causing a problem, instead of treating the symptoms.
The medical profession, in most cases, seems to only treat symptoms, put you on a drug and then another drug to offset the symptoms of the drugs!
The drugs from the pharmaceuticals in most cases seem to end up causing more harm than good, not to mention how expensive they are. I have been taking a thyroid pill for 10+ years.
I have not once been asked about or tested for Hashimoto’s Disease, which is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid.
The gluten intolerance has also played a roll in all of this and I have never been tested for it.
I’m now 48 years old and all of my symptoms have gotten progressively worse over the years and I’m sure they would have gotten much worse had Dr. Hardy not tested me and found out what the problems were.
No medical MD has ever suggested that I was tested for either of these. They would do blood tests and check my iron, year after year, because of my tiredness and my iron level has always been fine, but I continued to progressively get worse.
The NAET allergy treatments have also worked extremely well for me.
It seems as my thyroid, over the years was continuing to be attacked, I was much more susceptible to allergies, because my immune system had become so weakened.
Dr. Hardy has taken me through a series of treatments from mold and fungus to seasonal allergies to work area and home allergies.
The difference it has made to me is amazing and it’s also been in combination with removing the gluten from my diet, that I feel like I am functional again.
Dr. Hardy is so well informed in so many different areas that I’ve never had a question he couldn’t answer. I have learned so much about diet and nutrition from him.
I am going to have to my mom go in and see him, she has been having dizziness problems for the past year to year and a half. She has been put on high blood pressure medication, which hasn’t helped.
Again, it seems that her symptoms are being treated instead of finding out what the underlying problem is. Even though I don’t want this to sound over-the-top, I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful to Dr. Hardy for helping me to feel so much better.
Unlike most MD’s that rush you in and out of their offices, Dr. Hardy takes time to answer any questions and explain things thoroughly, so you know why your doing something and how it will help.
How did you hear about Dr. Hardy? Searching on the internet
Why did you select Dr. Hardy and his practice? When I called his office, he took the time to talk to me about the problems I had not been able to get resolved through MDs. He understood what I was talking about.
What health problems were you having that you came to Dr. Hardy for help? Chronic liver problems that doctors couldn’t find the cause of.
What health problems did Dr. Hardy help you with? Many. He found the cause of my liver problems, helped me address pathogens, and has helped me get my organs and glands balanced.
Before you came to us for help, what other things did you try? Gall bladder surgery, CAT scan, 3 ultra sounds, endless blood tests. $30,000 out to MDs.
What was the outcome of the treatment or treatments you received? He let me know from day one that there were many layers that also need to be addressed and the importance of doing my part with discipline and dedication.
What were the most positive aspects of your experience? Dr. Hardy has always listened to me and with his biofeedback types of testing, has found underlying problems.
Would you recommend Dr. Hardy’s services to your friends and family members? I do all the time. Yes! If so, which of Dr. Hardy’s services did you recommend to friends and family members? I recommend that they be willing to “go the distance” and not expect a quick nor easy fix. And that he is right that there are lots of layers.
My husband would say this too…I was in bad shape when I finally gave up on MDs to try to figure out what was going on with my liver. In the “marker” blood tests that Dr. Hardy also had me do, it was not just my liver, but my heart was showing potential problems.
Nine months later, those indicators had been cut in half and were in the normal range. I fully believe that Dr. Hardy saved my life. MDs never would have found the core causes.
I was 48 years old and probably wouldn’t have made it a few more years in the shape my liver was in.
With his expertise and experience, and especially the biofeedback methods, he pinpointed problems that wouldn’t have shown on medical tests.
My husband and I know we were led to Dr. Hardy through prayer. What I know from talking to other people who try to find the help he has given me is that he is truly unique as far as alternative doctors go too. Because of his desire to learn, he is able to draw from many different areas of his education for the way he treats his patients.
He truly “would have to be cloned” to find someone who is able to work with patients the way he does.
I also appreciate that he listens and admits when he doesn’t know something himself.
I drive 4 hours for my appointments with Dr. Hardy, but I know he is worth the effort because of how he has helped me.

Please feel free to share
additional comments about Dr. Hardy’s services. I feel very blessed to be able to see Dr. Hardy.
Without my insurance coverage – this never would have been possible.
I see his methods of treatment as a necessary means for preventive health care.
I truly believe that had I not addressed my health issues with him now, I would be facing serious complications at a future date.
Dr. Hardy’s level of expertise is one that is hard to match.
He has an overall holistic approach to wellness that is by far – not a consideration in the “normal” Medical field of Western Medicine.
With his help – you become more “in tune” with your body & take
responsibility for your health. Melanie

at work. Because regular doctor visits for me have been totally ineffective, and
the doctors’ solutions to my pain has been physical therapy – which didn’t work – and lots of tests and surgery
that may or may not help. What health problems were you having that you came to Dr. Hardy for help? Chronic knee pain in both knees, left wrist pain, extremely low energy
and blood pressure issues, along with headache pain. What health problems did Dr. Hardy help you with? Pain management. Before you came to us for help, what other things did you try? I have had two sessions with physical therapy for my knee pain. No results. I was told they could do surgery and scrape my knee cartilage but I refused. I was prescribed celebrex, which I did not take. I don’t want to be on pain medication all my life! What was the outcome of the treatment or treatments you received? I have had better emotional balance. My headaches have almost disappeared. My left wrist pain is almost gone. I can type and move it without pain. I am currently being treated for my knee pain, and in only two visits I
have very little pain and have much more mobility. I can go for walks and not hurt the next day! What were the most positive aspects of your experience? It has been refreshing to talk to a doctor who doesn’t want to rush me
off to do MRI’s, CT scans and surgery to fix a problem that they can’t even assure me will even work. I like
that Dr. Hardy has the skill and knowledge to know that not everybody is the same! Would you recommend Dr. Hardy’s services to your friends and family members? Yes!! My sons and daughter have seen remarkable changes to not only the
way they feel but they are more active and enjoy life in ways they could not do before. We know how our body’s
work with the foods we eat and which ones to avoid or eat less often. If so, which of Dr. Hardy’s services did you recommend to friends and
family members? My daughter has knee pain: Has been seeing Dr. Hardy for acupuncture. My other daughter is coming in from Florida and I will pay out of my own
pocket to have her see Dr.
Hardy!

drops I take help me out a lot as well. This is definitely a better way of healing and feeling
better. Before you came to us for help, what other things did you try? Didn’t really try anything—wasn’t able to afford any of the above mentioned. Didn’t want to take any

My employer, when my health
insurance listed THS as a benefit.
Why did you select Dr. Hardy and his practice? I have had fatigue and muscle pain in my neck and shoulders for many years. I did not want to be on muscle relaxers or pain meds.

with most people is that their health insurance won’t cover it so they are not able to afford
treatment.

This alternative treatment
will save insurance companies and benefit the patient. Both sides would definitely benefit.

It was different, so I wanted to give it a
try.
I was having problems with acne, as well as pain in my knees while
exercising. What health problems did Dr. Hardy help you with? The drops helped with my acne and the acupuncture and muscle release
helped me to start running again. Before you came to us for help, what other things did you try? I tried EVERYTHING for my acne: pills, all sorts of scrubs, washes,

help. What was the outcome of the treatment or treatments you received? My acne has pretty much cleaned up. I get a few breakouts but nothing
