Testimonials

I first saw Dr. Gurm in May 2010. I found Port Moody Naturopathic on the internet. I had seen other naturopaths and other types of alternative health practitioners over the years so I knew what I was looking for in a practitioner. Dr. Gurm uses an energetic diagnostic technique which is very accurate in my experience and she was able to identify significant problems with my health and the root cause of these problems. It has been a year and a half that I have been going to Dr. Gurm. I live in Vancouver and occasionally wonder why I didn't choose one of the clinics in Vancouver which offer similar services instead of driving 45 minutes to every appointment. All I can say is Dr. Gurm was an intuitive choice and I have nothing but gratitude and thankfulness for her help. Dr. Gurm specializes in cancer treatment which I didn't know when I chose her and also collaborates with Dr. Elmajian on issues regarding health and oral treatments, in particular the link between mercury filling, root canals, and overall oral health and disease. So my intuition was correct. I chose the perfect doctor. - Carole Harmon, October 24, 2011

I feel so good since I started coming here!! The care with Dr. Gurm and staff has been life changing! I always feel so cared for every time I walk in the door. I truly feel this healing experience has saved my vision and prevented years of chronic illness. I am so thankful!! - Karen, November 2011

Dr. Gurm is an amazing physician whose expertise has made a significant positive difference in my health and well-being.  I first saw Dr. Gurm just over a year ago and I am very thankful that I did.  She truly uses a holistic approach and very quickly zeroed in on how best to resolve my various health complaints.  Dr. Gurm's caring and compassionate manner always made me feel at ease and the improvements we have made to my health and well-being have led me to trust her abilities and wisdom completely.  I highly recommend Dr. Gurm to anyone who may have specific health issues or just wants to feel healthier, happier, and much younger than their years.  - Lisa, November 2011

In July 2008, I came to Dr. Gurm. I was 44. I was pale and run down and I was getting desperate. My quality of life was not great and I was concerned about the direction it was heading. I had loved being active my whole life but had no energy for anything more than a walk. My workout was a nap. I had had a severe cold and some type of infection for the past 14 years. Dr. Gurm did very comprehensive testing and found my system was still full of bacteria, fungus and parasites. The mercury levels in my body were off the charts. It was explained to me that bacteria thrive in an environment with toxic heavy metals (due to the acidic pH created by toxins). So no matter what I did in terms of diet or cleansing I would not rid myself of my bugs and my symptoms. I had to get rid of the toxic metals in my system. Dr. Gurm put me through a process over the past year and a half which included neural therapy, homeopathic remedies, chelation (a process that removes mercury from the blood) and meditation for stress management and spiritual growth. A strict month long cleanse revealed my intolerance for ANY dairy. I can’t even have milk in my tea without getting a sore throat or phlegm. After numerous chelation treatments my mercury levels came down dramatically. Then testing revealed significant lead storage in deeper tissues in body, which Dr. Gurm had explained to me would be a likely outcome once we started chelation. So now we are doing more chelation to get the lead out. It is still quite shocking to me that I was full of toxic chemicals and heavy metals. I have always considered myself quite healthy and frankly I am a bit of a health nut. I have always exercised. I was a runner since I was 15 and a regular distance swimmer as well. I ate salads, fruit and vegetable and took vitamins. I got eight hours sleep at night. I was a very light drinker. I will admit to a high stress at times in my life, but who doesn’t? Looking back now I can see some patterns. At age 30, I started to enjoy sushi, all you can eat sushi (mercury), wine and beer (yeast and sugar), pasta (white flour) and bread (wheat). I ate whole-wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat crackers and whole wheat cereal. I now have a diet with no diary, very low sugar, caffeine or wheat. I plan my monthly alcoholic beverage or two for a date with my husband. I used to have fish twice a week, now I have it twice a month while we are doing chelation. My food allergies may improve in the future but for now I am used to and feel great on my modified diet. I had just one cold last fall (2009) for a week. My energy is back. I exercise regularly. I enjoy yoga and I meditate. I have my own infrared sauna. I have energy for my son and husband. I have clarity of mind and better ability to focus and make decisions for myself and family. I feel joy again. I feel my old positive self again. I have peace. Of course, this process did not come without an investment of effort, comittment and finances. Sure I could have renovated my kitchen, but instead I chose to renovate my life.   - Joan Weiten

It is without hesitation, that I highly recommend Port Moody Naturopathic Health and Wellness to anyone who is willing to listen. I commend you and your staff on a job well done and would be more than happy to speak to anyone who should request a referral. - Jeanne Gilbert, 50 years old

Dr. Gurm is very knowledgeable and helpful with treating my child who is 8. The staff is also very caring, helpful and understanding.

I have been amazed at how quickly my body has responded to Dr. Gurm's treatments. In less than 6 weeks I feel new energy & emotional wellbeing that I thought was gone with menopause!

Dr. Gurm and her staff were really great. Dr. Gurm was able to answer questions MD doctors couldn't. I had been feeling really sick and no doctors could tell me why. All they would do is give me more antibiotics which contributed to the problem. After 3 months under Dr. Gurm's care, I am feeling like my old self! I greatly appreciate the help and all the patience during the process. They were amazing and I will continue to see Dr. Gurm in the future. I highly recommend her. - Leah Chahwan, September 2011

Dear Dr. Gurm, You’re the best doctor anyone could have. Thank you very much for the great care you gave me, when I was sick. - Janet, May 2011

For years I’ve referred my friends and family to Dr. Sharon Gurm and her wonderful team at PMN clinic. So, when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer I flew up from Dallas,TX to experience the top of the line care myself. From the minute I walked through the door I could feel the incredible healing energy oozing from the clinic. In addition to standardized examination procedures Dr. Gurm used A.R.T (a form of muscle testing) to create an individualized and detailed treatment plan as well as identify emotional connections to my cancer. Urine heavy metal testing revealed toxic levels of both lead and mercury that Dr. Gurm and her chelation staff were able to remove quickly, safely, and comfortably. The holistic care I received allowed me to achieve balance in my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being and I can’t thank them enough for that! - Dr. Karen Lee Paquette  ND, FLT(HP), CCC, BScPT, BSc, RCAMT

Always very friendly and attentive. Dr. Gurm is very considerate, caring and always correct with all the substances given for my ailments. Great experience and I am glad I have found this clinic! - March 2011

You won’t believe what a pleasant experience it was to call the office and have my call taken care of efficiently, quickly and with a very professional attitude. I liked the sound of the caring coming through your receptionist’s voice! Just hearing her voice put me at ease. It is so important to be greeted and dealt with in such a lovely tone of voice. That first contact with your office is so important! It sets the tone of what to expect. The front line is what represents you, Dr. Gurm. The voice, the appearance, courtesy and caring of your staff is one of the most important things of your business. Your receptionist fits perfectly as the front line person. I truly look forward to calling and speaking with her. I can be so annoying and bothersome at times, but she has always been pleasant with me no matter what. Excellent representation! - January 2011

Dr. Gurm, let me begin by saying how fortunate I am that I found you. Let me tell you why I’m so fortunate. Well for the last 22 years I have suffered immensely with my health. I have more health issues to deal with than your average person. During all these years I have been to see countless doctors, specialists, allergists, chemists, hypnotists, psychologists, acupuncturists (by the way, you’re the best at acupuncture and I can attest to it because I’ve had way too many people poke me and you are by far the most gentlest) and of course I’ve also seen half a dozen naturopaths. All these people I have gone to were very pleasant but they didn’t listen to me - you do listen and this is very important. I always tried to keep an open mind but when I wasn’t getting any better from their treatments then I knew it was time to move on. Perhaps with others they were successful but I’m a hard case to do (as this is what they all told me). As you know, one of my main health problems is having allergies. Having allergies has made it difficult for me to take medicines or supplements. I would always relate this to those who were trying to help me but still they insisted that I take whatever they prescribed. Sure enough, I’d have an adverse reaction and they’d bombard me with more! You are the only one who has listened to me. You found other ways to help me.  Slowly and surely your methods are working for me. Dr. Gurm, when I first came to you last year, I was in pretty bad shape. My head was in a fog, I couldn’t concentrate, remember things, felt very lightheaded, nauseated and the list goes on. My anxiety was ruling my life and depression had set in again. I had almost reached my breaking point. Slowly, all of this is beginning to change. I know I have a long road ahead of me but I also know that you will guide me back to optimum health.  Some days are harder than others but I must persevere. I’m beginning to feel the change in my body as others are beginning to notice too. My most wonderful compliment came from a niece that I had not seen in months. She was amazed at my transformation and wanted to know who was the person responsible.  Without hesitation I told her it was, “Dr. Sharon Gurm”. You see, Dr. Gurm, your hard work is paying off! What I like about you is your quiet but strong demeanour. You’re intelligent and keep up-to-date on new procedures. You’re good at what you do (healing people), you’re comfortable to be with and you have all this boundless energy that’s accompanied with a fun personality. All these traits make you a #1 Doctor! I am so glad that you’re not aggressive or pushy! Not only does my opinion count when it comes to seeking a good doctor but that of my husband’s counts too. He has a very keen sixth sense and from the moment he met you he told me that you were very professional and you meant business. He also had a good feeling that you would help as much as you could. So far, so good. I want you to know that I truly appreciate all of your help and patience you have with me. As you told me at the beginning of our meeting, “trust me” - well I live by those words and I truly do “trust” you with my life. One more thing, I never say anything that I truly don’t mean or believe in. I’m so very lucky to have you as my doctor. -Anna Repole

I am a woman in her 50’s who has suffered with extreme neck and back pain for the past 12 years. Taking pain drugs and other numerous drugs prescribed by a medical doctor did not make the pain subside but only created other medical problems. Determined to find some relief, I took the initiative to look at other avenues. I have always been interested in the natural approach. After visiting Dr. Sharon Gurm three months ago and receiving acupuncture treatments, detox treatments and two neural therapy treatments, I am so relieved to say that I have not felt like this in the past 12 years. I am now pain free, have no migraines and other medical problems have also been addressed. At this time I continue therapy once a week. I have great faith in Dr. Gurm’s natural approach in healing the body. Dr. Gurm and all her staff make you feel like they sincerely care. Now every day I am able to live and enjoy life! Sincerely, Gale

Dear Dr. Gurm, I would like to submit the following testimonial for Port Moody Naturopathic Health & Wellness. My way of handling any difficulties I have in my life is by visualizing an end result, knowing with absolute certainty that the result will take place, feeling how it feels to attain the result...and then taking action steps when my intuition shows me the way. In the case of my health, my end result was vibrant health and energy, after having undergone surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from my bladder and menopause which left me experiencing undesirable symptoms (dry skin, loss of libido, weight gain) I arrive at the clinic feeling tired and unusually lethargic after undergoing surgery and wanting to take whatever steps I could to prevent a recurrence. My intuition led me to a newspaper advertisement for Port Moody Naturopathic Health and Wellness that jumped off the page at me. I had my first consultation with Dr. Sharon Gurm in March of 2009. From the beginning she showed she truly cared about my health and well-being by listening carefully to my history and offering valuable insights. She also exhibited a tremendous knowledge about every topic I presented. Having investigated a lot of health issue myself, I really felt I had found someone I could trust. The most important aspect of our first meeting for me was feeling her magnificent calming, loving energy. She glowed and I felt immediately protected and in good hands. I immediately started diligently following every treatment she recommended and am thrilled with the results. I have found the facility to be very welcoming, professional and enjoyable. The members of Dr. Gurm’s staff (Eva, Raluca and others) are also very professional and competent. I truly believe that the best healers are ones capable of transmitting loving energy. This has been demonstrated to me so many times during my visits. Without wanting to sound like some weird new-age Pollyanna, I have even experienced hearts appearing in my mind’s eye on several occasions during some of Dr. Gurm’s one-on-one treatments, a spiritual signpost for me that I was in the best hands. I feel energetic again with vibrant health and have recently undergone a cystoscopy to find my cancer has not recurred! After completing a few months of bio-identical hormone treatments, my menopausal symptoms have all disappeared. I am grateful to have found this clinic and appreciate that Dr. Gurm conducts her practice in a calm, patient, caring way while transmitting her loving energy. I have highly recommended Dr. Gurm to anyone I have met who has any kind of health issues. Respectfully Submitted, - Maybeth Wallace, June 25, 2010

Prolotherapy and neural therapy treatments have significantly improved my chronic upper back and neck problems. From the first treatments, I experienced a greater range of motion when turning my head and with further treatments I found my posture seemed to naturally improve and I could do more activities (such as weight training, jogging, and jump rope) without experiencing the usual pain and discomfort that often accompany them. I highly recommend prolotherapy and neural therapy to anyone who is looking to reduce chronic neck and pain issues. - Lisa Zosiak

Through Dr. Gurm’s recommendations for my supplements and my diet, I have lost nearly 30lbs and have been able to basically eliminate my major digestive issues along with my mild psoriasis. I’ve got more energy. I fight off colds better. And most importantly, I’m happy - VERY happy. - Amanda Stajan
