Acne | Stress | Toxic Allergies

Jenny G.

“My name is Jenny and I had the worst skin break-out and it scared me to see it getting worse after 3 weeks, so I made an appointment with a dermatologist and he prescribed a cortical cream to apply topically and told me to get off all my supplements, which I have been taking for years?!

I was diagnosed with a type of psoriasis that made my skin itch all the time. It was so embarrassing and painful! I just wanted to rip my skin off and hide. I felt terrible, but also knew I couldn't stay on a steroid cream the rest of my life. A friend told me about Dr. Gerken's™ Health Spa and said 'they do all kinds of skin care and nutritional stuff'. Amy told me she gets her facials there, and said she used to have 'plugged pores, dirty skin'. You'd never know it. Anyway, I called for an appointment, I filled out some forms and got some pictures taken, took an online quiz at home and did a skin scan. Okay, now what?

After my quiz, my results came back, and I was started on a detox program to rid my body from toxic overload. After my shake, I started my daily walking routine, with a special tape I'd listen to. After 4 weeks, I was finished with the detox program and a special cream Dr. Gerken made for me. My welts were mending and they were disappearing, which meant less itching and I could sleep through the night without scratching my skin raw.

I'm very thankful for all the help and support I needed. I know I am getting my life back! I have a very stressful job plus am a caretaker for my mother, but I'm learning how to 'find balance' as Laurie would say 'one day at a time.' ”
