My response to Dr. Michael Schirmer’s balneotherapy treatment was nothing short of miraculous. I had torn the insertion of one of my hamstring muscles playing basketball. I was in pain and could not walk without a severe limp. The back of my leg was black and blue from mid-calf to halfway up the back of my thigh. I consulted a sports medicine expert who stated that this type of injury it would be at least six weeks before I was recovered and able to resume all activities. Unfortunately, I had committed to attending a golf school in Arizona the very next week. There was no way I could have played golf in a week if it was not for the balneotherapy treatments. After 3 treatments over 4 day period I was nearly fully recovered and able to play basketball as well as attend golf school. I highly recommend Dr. Schirmer’s balneotherapy for any sport injury or physical trauma.

I would like to take a moment to express to you my thoughts about Healing Botanicals and it’s application to physical medicine. I see a large population of patients with musculoskeletal problems in my private practice and at the University teaching clinic where I am director of physical medicine. Since the very first treatment I have been more than impressed with the results I have been getting with everyone who has received Healing Botanicals baths or packs. They have significant reduction in pain with the first treatment and if they continue treatments usually have long-term results, which include a reduction in pain and an increase in function.
I have incorporated this therapy into my practices and plan to continue to use it because I feel one can achieve better results using Schirmer’s technique with his formula than I had been able to achieve in the past with many of my patients.

Here is a short note from me to personally thank you, Dr. Schirmer, for your treatments of the Plantar Fasciitis tear that I had. As you remember, I was unable to stand or even attempt to walk when you started my balneotherapy with Healing Botanicals baths and packs. Then, just after thirteen days of treatment , by you, Dr. Schirmer, I was able to resume football practice.
I played the full season including the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii and never missed a practice or game…. no Absenteeism!!! Thanks many times again for your patience, your time and your great therapy!

Our clinic, one of the oldest and largest that emphasizes non-surgical, non-pharmacological therapies in the treatment of pain and injury, has now had a three year experience of using the medical balneotherapy treatment program.
Over this period, it has been noted by our physicians and physical therapists, as well as by referring pain specialists, that the course of balneotherapy has produced a remarkable acceleration in relief of pain and inflammation in cases of arthritis, tendonitis, disc herniation, cervical sprain, fibromyalgia and chronic headache syndromes. Long-term results have been obtained in a period of weeks rather than several months.
I am therefore pleased to recommend the medical balneotherapy treatment as a valuable component of any pain rehabilitation program.

A quick follow up with regards to my back injury. The medicinal therapeutic baths and heated poultice packs applied to my lower back region definitely aided in speeding up my recovery time. The baths helped reduce the inflammation and pain that I was experiencing in my lower back and I am so happy that I was able to recover within a fairly short period of time, without having to take drugs of any kind.

Born with eczema 62 years ago, I found myself with what doctors diagnosed as “winter eczema” in December of 1999. I was treated with topical steroids, with which I, in the past, had always been prescribed.
In April of 2002, a friend, seeing the condition of my skin, sent me to Dr. Schirmer, inventor of Therapeutic Bath Therapy. At the time I first saw the doctor, my skin was extremely red, dry, swollen, painful, and wrinkled like elephant hide. I was scared out of my skin to chance this healing therapy. Dr. Schirmer told me about the history of his product, its contents, and its past successes – more than 30 years – in healing his patients. Inspired with much confidence after our conversation, in which he told me about curing eczema, skin ulcers, and open lesions, plus other skin problems. Dr. Schirmer is my earth angel; my family and I are eternally grateful to him for his invention.
I tried the Therapeutic Bath Therapy that day. My open sores began to heal. By the beginning of June, I had control of my eczema and was finally feeling life long-awaited relief from the itching and discomfort of this skin disease. I am very impressed with the results and continue to use Dr. Schirmer’s product. I find it relaxing and enjoy its therapeutic benefits.

After having Arthritis for about 32 years, going to numerous doctors, taking hundreds of pills and other medication, a friend recommended Schirmer’s Arthritis Clinic to me. So, I traveled to Miami, Florida and enrolled in the clinic for twelve (12) treatments. At the time, I could not raise my right arm to my head and I had pains in my left arm. I had such severe pains in my back that I could not stand erect and my knees seem to be beyond repair, but now after 12 treatments the pain is gone out of my left arm. I can raise my right arm over my head. I can mostly walk erect without pain in my back. And my knees are more moveable without pain. All of this was done without medication or pills.
May God bless Dr. Schirmer, that he may continue to help those who suffer from Arthritis “as well as” other immobile diseases without medication.

I am writing to thank Dr. Schirmer, Ken Chin and Dr. Henshew for the amazing improvement in my health. My problems started over 3 years ago. It began with the sudden onset of low back pain, muscle pain and mild diarrhea. Within one week the symptoms worsened to severe joint pain over most of my body, severe chronic fatigue and severe diarrhea every day. All of this was accompanied by some muscle weakness. These symptoms have continued now for over 3 years. During the past three years I’ve seen 3 different Gastroenterologists, 3 Family Practitioners or Internists, 3 Rheumatologist and 1 Neurologists. I had almost every known test done, from basic blood test to brain MRI, x-rays to colon biopsies. The tests were countless and very expensive. No two doctors agreed on what the diagnosis was or what the treatment should be. Though at one point or another I was on many different antibiotics and almost every kind of anti-inflammatory drug that is available.
I was also on steroids several different occasions for as long a 6 months. Most recently it was suggested that I take Immunosuppressive drugs i.e. Imuran. It was at the time that Imuran was suggested that I first turned to The Pain Clinic, and Ken Chin discussed my case with Dr. Schirmer. You advised me to go on an oatmeal diet to give my intestines a rest allowing the bacteria and toxins to be cleansed from my system. You also suggested that I see Dr. Hanshew who is now my primary care provider. Dr. Hanshew has been of great help to me and has addressed the stress in my life and it’s effect on my health. After only 3 short weeks on the diet the results were incredible. Since then I have continued to follow your instructions on my diet and on taking some Peat hot bath treatments. Now after 7 weeks I have started to notice that most of my symptoms are gone. I no longer have chronic diarrhea or severe joint pain. Everyday and every week my energy level increases.
Your treatment plan has been like a miracle to me. I had given up hope of feeling healthy again without drugs. Thanks to you Dr. Schirmer, Dr. Hanshew and Ken Chin, I feel like a new person and hope to stay this way, Thank You!

I wish to make a contribution to the therapeutic benefits of using the Therapeutic Bath . I live in North Carolina and spend time in Florida during the winter months. I am seventy-four years “young,” nevertheless, my bones are acknowledging the years much to my chagrin. I visited the Spinal Institute while in Florida this past winter and after X-Rays and an MRI, was told I have osteoarthritis. X-Rays indicated there is a slight disc space narrowing at L4-5, minimally at 5-1. On the AP view (whatever that is), was told there is a subtle left convex scoliosis apex at or about the L2-3 interspace.
On the AP pelvis there is joint space narrowing of the hips bilaterally, left greater than right, with acetabular lipping. It was suggested at the Florida Spine Institute that I use cortisone injections which would ease the pain. I refused this suggestion as I know any steroid elevates blood sugar levels, as well as, in the long run, causes more bone deterioration! I have not used any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin, Motrin and so forth, even though I realize they can give some pain relief (can also bring about bleeding ulcers) , but they too in the long run accelerate the deterioration as well as stopping new re-growth of cartilage. Not anticipating any surgery, I read about the Therapeutic Baths and decided to give them a try.
I have had ten baths and feel they have helped relieve me of pain, but know due to my age and the fact I have been living with this pain for the past five years, that nothing is going to “cure” me overnight. I was on my feet a great deal yesterday and began aching last night. Took my Therapeutic Bath and after the treatment, had considerably less pain.
I would have suffered all night and not been able to find a “comfortable spot or position” in bed, but went right to sleep. Prior to the baths, it was necessary for me to sleep with a pillow between my legs to buffer the weight from one hip to the other. I could not sleep on my left side at all, since started using the therapeutic peat bath, I can now sleep on either side.
