After 57 years of practice, Dr. Gary has retired.

Sad to say “goodbye.”

May the best of life and health be yours!

They say, “all good things must come to an end.” After (almost) “retiring” for the third time on my 75th birthday, I’ve been able to squeeze in another five years. It has been my pleasure to serve my patients, many of whom I consider friends, over all these past 57 years. However, I discovered while here in my happy place in Costa Rica that I have developed a heart condition, and that continuing to practice — even one day a week — could cost me that last few years of my life. Therefore, at 80 years old, I guess it’s time to hang up my career. It’s with a great degree of sadness — I will miss you all.

Dr. Michael Veselak, who kindly allowed me to use his office these past five years, is an excellent Chiropractor and Functional Medicine specialist. Unfortunately, he doesn’t do NAET, but he does a lot of other wonderful techniques. If you require NAET (allergy) care. please contact Grace Enriquez, L.Ac. in Newbury Park at 805-410-3160 or Dr. Julie Robotham in Thousand Oaks at 805-371-6144. Dr. Julie is also an excellent Chiropractor.

Wishing you all the very best of life and health,

Dr. Gary

How to Follow a Low Histamine Diet by Dr. Nikolas Hedberg


Here’s an excellent overview about auto-immunity by Dr. David Jockers

I have been all over the World, but choose to call Costa Rica my home away from home. Enjoy nature at her finest! Come to Costa Rica. Come to Toucan Valley.

Years ago, when we were about to leave the suburbs of Detroit to move to California, a friend asked “If things don’t work out in California, will you come back here?” To which I responded “If things don’t work out in California, I’ll move to Costa Rica!” Why I said that, I’ll never know – I had never been to Costa Rica, didn’t know anything about it. But, as things turned out, all went well in California and after 34 years here in Ventura County, we decided to have a second home in Costa Rica. I have not changed my mind.
