When I brought my son to Dr. Gillespie, I really didn't know what to expect.CFT and Asthma

My sisters had already taken several of their children to him for many different conditions. They had tried several times to convince me to take my son.

I never thought that Brain Therapy would actually completely correct his asthma.

He had it from infancy, and his doctors kept telling me that he would "outgrow" it as he got older. The crazy part was that instead of "outgrowing‟ his asthma at nine years of age, he was getting worse. I felt very frustrated and desperate.

Classically, he would start in the fall with croup, snowball into a bad cold, and end up as asthma, pneumonia, and a lot of medicine. This cycle would last until the spring. I would stay up all night with him initially to make sure he was breathing well, and he would then miss several days of school. Finally, I decided that I had enough of this loop and took my sisters‟ advice.

I often thank God for making that appointment. From the first visit of CFT until the present day almost three years later, my son has not taken any asthma medication. He has had several colds, but never the asthma that had always followed. His pediatrician even confirmed that it was gone after he completed CFT.

I can't begin to tell you how this approach has changed our lives. Today, he is an athletic 12 year old boy. He plays soccer, baseball, basketball, and even made it to the regional finals for track. This would have never happened without CFT. Before the treatment he would have to come off the soccer field winded several times in a game. Today, he can run longer and faster than most of the players on his team. I was so taken with this work that I became trained and now successfully do CFT for other asthmatic children.

What everyone is saying about CFT

  • I first met Dr Gillespie in 1996 during a lecture he gave to my class at Massage Therapy School. We all sat in awe of his accomplishments. I dreamed of the day i would understand the things he knew and wondered if I would ever have the skills to help people in that way. Seven years later, I found myself in his class. My career direction shifted completely upon completion of his seminar and I knew that focusing on pediatrics was to become my mission. I spent the next four months working pro bono on any child with whom I could get permission to work. Feeling initially mystified, even with my class manual beside me, I just jumped in and began to listen and follow, promising the parents only that I would not do any harm to their precious children. To my joyous surprise and relief, every child I worked with during that time made marked improvements in the area of their initial complaints, some with dramatic results. Now, more than a decade later, CFT has become the core of every session I give. I begin and end each session using Barry’s methods, and incorporate them throughout. I found that
