I went to see Jason at the THC at Sheppard Ave on Thursday 10^th Sept/​15. I was visiting Toronto from the UK for a week. I was in agony– neck pain, shoulders, back etc. Jason saw me immediately and I was so glad. He is lovely. Very professional, easy to talk to, comfortable to be with, he listens and he knows his stuff. He sorted me out as well as he could in one session (I was going home two days later). I felt so much better when I left his surgery. I have no hesitation in recommending Jason. He is a godsend.

Ok, so when I wrote the first review about THC, I was still in the process of trying to concieve. Basically: I believe that I am pregnant right now thanks to a combination of many factors, but one of those factors that was key was the acupuncture treatments from Jason at THC.
Back story:
DH and I were TTC for about 8 years. Issues that came up included stuff like: fibroids, gluten intolerence, vit D deficiency, Hypothyroidism (hasimotos’), Electromagnetic feilds, Genetic incompatibility with veganism, stress and a large list of other stuff. Like I said: it was 8 years!!!
We were at our 3^rd fertility clinic by this time and they sat us down and said to me (and my hubby, but it was about me only): «well: you are now 40 years old, your BMI means you are obese and you have an AMH level that is really low (meaning low ovarian reserve usually). If you have IVF, it probably won’t work.»
I was devastated.
After a bit of discussion with my hubby: we knew we still had to try IVF because we had come so far and we just had to.
So, we set out to maximize our chances. Hubby worked on perfecting his vitamin levels with supplements (zinc and EFA’s especially) and I started Acupunture. We knew that it would take at least 3 months for any changes due to acupunture to kick in, so we planned to have the IVF 3 months from that time.
Jason helped me many ways:
He/​acupuncture helped me lose a bit of weight. As a large person it seems I’ve been trying to lose weight always. So this was great! And it has been proven to help with fertility.
I also believe that I was calmer as a result of acupunture.
I needed to have a boost to my egg production and make my ovaries strong and eggy. I believe the acupuncuncture I got at THC was responsible for increasing my egg production.
I also would wager that my hormones were balanced via acupuncture.
I would highly recommend Jason/​Traditional Healing Center for this type of treatment based on my successful results.
Here are the results of the IVF treatment:
I had 10 folicles that resulted in 4 eggs. 3 of those eggs were mature enough to be fertilized. Of those 3, 2 became fertilized and divided. They were transfered back to me and one managed to hang on!
I am absolutely delighted to say I’m 10 weeks pregnant as of Aug 3!
The money we invested in IVF was huge. we were so tight for money! But I am so glad we invested what was comparably a tiny amount in Acupuncture treatments at THC because it clearly made a difference in the outcome.

the short:
Save your money — go elsewhere where you will be treated properly. There are tons of places to go for Acupuncture, etc… Chinatown, etc… just look up some reviews on Unilocal.
the detailed version:
I had a Teambuy voucher for this, and I was completely looking forward to my appointment with the acupuncturist/​owner/​manager (Jason). However, I’ve had to file a complaint since Jason and I argued over an intake form not being filled out. I told him that I tried to fill out the form, but he gave me attitude — he said «I don’t know what the problem is, it’s not hard to fill the form out». I offered to take a screen shot of what I saw. I also offered to arrive earlier for my appointment, so that I could fill hardcopy versions of the paper out. He expressed that electronic forms were better for them.
If my intention, was to fill the form out, but that in using one link that he sent me, didn’t result in my finding the Intake Form, why would he lose his cool and give me attitude. I also asked him about a question from his website, about a free 15 min. consultation — which at first he flat out denied in having. Here’s the link, if anyone wants 15 free:
I was expecting, at the very least, professionalism.
We were a few hours away from our appointment, you’d think that he could hold off on any impatience or moodiness. IMO, a poor representative of an alternative health care provider. :(
Two thumbs down, for service — by the manager/​owner, no less.
