ACCLAIM FOR DR GAETA S PRESENTATIONS Standard Process Northwest Thank you so much for the excellent job that you did at the recent Idaho Falls Cancer Prevention Seminar. You did a wonderful job and I got excellent feedback from the clients in attendance. I am already looking forward to having you back again soon to teach other seminars. I would recommend your seminars to any health practitioner or doctor who is interested in true healing (instead of just patching up symptoms) and learning about herbs and whole food nutrition. - Dr Troy Crane, Chiropractor, Burley, Idaho I have listened to your seminar recordings a few times. It is a wonderful educational product that every health practitioner should have. It provides a great opportunity to learn what works best in various health conditions, and many other interesting and useful pearls. They are good quality recordings with lots of useful information. After listening to your lectures I feel as if I have spent at least a year studying, perhaps longer. An excellent product that is worth a lot more than the price I paid for it. Thanks again. - Dr Michael Teplitsky, Internal Medicine, New York, New York Applied Nutritional Services of New York Thank you, Michael, for doing such a great job. I know that anyone who listens to the audio CD of this seminar, A Wholistic Approach to Cleansing and Detoxification, will be caught up in the enthusiasm that swept over the room that day. Great and useful information! - Mr Bruce Poritzky Standard Process of Pennsylvania I ve just returned from attending my second seminar presented by Dr Michael Gaeta. Michael s presentations both times were excellent. His topics are pointed and focused on timely material. His delivery was refreshing, and the information presented was easy to understand for practitioner or staff members at every level of education. Michael has a way of taking very complex information and presenting it in a way that is easy to understand. He engages the audience and keeps them focused. Michael also has a wonderful demeanor and humble way about him, which is a joy to experience. I would highly recommend attending Michael s seminars. - Mr. Frank Wolfe
