Dr. Ryder is a retired medical doctor & pharmacist. His knowledge of how the body & mind work is amazing. He is actually is a medical doctor who believes in do no harm. Don't take what you don't need, whether it's supplements, herbs, homeopathics, the latest fad etc. and as far as food, everything in moderation. Yes this doctor actually practices common sense. His vegas machine and remedies can support your body in healing long standing, chronic or acute problems. Yes sometimes it takes awhile to get better, but then it took just as long to get to where the body can't recover on it's own. As for those who sneer & say it's the placebo effect ... hey I'll take that any day over big pharma drugs that only address the symptoms and can do more damage in the long run.

I was referred to Dr Ryder by my GP back in 2012 as I was suffering from an antibiotic resistant staph - I was under great stress during a marriage breakup and my staph infection erupted in repeated boils on both my behind and in my armpits. Very painful. Dr. Ryder ultimately succeeded in ridding me of the staph - it took several months however I had been suffering for over 18 months before I was referred to him.

I have found his Vega testing and his advice invaluable over the years - the proof is in the pudding.

What irony! Witness the sway of the placebo effect. This individual claims to abide by "science," yet relies on unproven, non-credible sources. He proudly labels his product as originating from Germany, though it's merely water in brown vials. Exploiting the vulnerable, he garners a following akin to a cult. My advice? Avoid at all costs.

Absolute scam artist. He takes exorbitant amounts of money from his victims and gives them sugar water. It is predatory at its best and extremely dangerous at its worst. His patients desperately need to go find real medical help. The VEGA machine does not work and has been proven by the scientific community to be a scam.

Dr Ryder is a gem and I wouldn't be alive if not for him over the 30 years. Allopathic doctors just want to apply bandages with antibiotics, but he heals. Depending on the complexity, some symptoms may not disappear quickly. Think of peeling the layers of onions.

Pure rubbish. That's what his wonderful machine is that Gerald uses. It gives false results. I intentionally brought one of my meds which I'm allergic too as e proven by science and physicians; however, his machine failed to indicate this. It's also a fairly common medication

Personally, I'd rather go to Mexico or South America accredited medical facilities which are evidence based, peer scrutinized and reviewed unlike the homeopathy Gerald uses. Oh, sure. In Germany they use this machine. But who are they? What makes Germany so special?

Additionally, has anyone else noticed for every negative comment here, there ls a positive one posted shortly thereafter? Are these bots or what? Long live the power of the placebo effect and sugar (water) bottles.

Dr Ryder is the only doctor who actually helped my 3 kids' chronic eczema, food sensitives and other things. He is SO knowledgeable and patient with my kids and has explained how our healing path will be like.
People who do not understand homeopathic remedies, and say they can't work because they are tasteless and odourless, need to educate on what homeopathy is.
They have been working miraculously for my kids. Why add sugar to remedies when they work just fine. He is just that type of doctor, no sugar coating. Thank you Dr Ryder

Quaker. I hope others read this before spending their money, but VanCity is a privileged and wealthy city.

There's no evidence based double-blind studies to support what this retired MD claims his remedies do. He loves to say they're from Germany. There's quackery everywhere. There's the placebo effect. And the placebo effect is well documented in evidence based literature. Just search cbc and homeopathy if you want to see the extent of how once credible physicians have now resorted to this sort of snake oil treatment to earn a quick buck.

Dr Ryder has saved my healthy so many times over many years. My family doc just wants to pump my body with antibiotics which have weakened my immune. Ryder heals and does not apply bandages (as Western medicine does).
