I think he's a quack. His methods remain unproven in North America and seem to be based on the placebo effect.

Not vaxxed, not helpful.

Provides "German" based clear, odourless and tasteless "remedies" in small ~30 ml dark brown bottles at around $20 each. They seem to work like a sugar pill in my experience and Dr. Ryder won't reveal the actual ingredients.

He uses a "special" machine from Germany that tests your skin as you hold a cylinder shaped object connected to the machine. He alleges he can detect (based on the machine and the vitamin or medication bottle you bring) if you're tolerant of the medication. Again, this is non-verifiable and he keeps on saying the machine is from Germany.

Ironically, for someone who's so "health" conscious and alleges he can't get vaxxed because he has a brain tumour, his office is directly underneath a cellular mobile tower.

We were desperate. We should've followed the science surrounding homeopathy and saved money and hoped he could help.

GR seems to be informed with the literature on which supplements are proven to be beneficial/helpful (for the most part). He told us which ones to discard, but my physician and naturopath disagrees with his choices.

Finally, Ryder is not without imperfections. He's terribly opinionated. His clear-like water remedies are proprietary and effectively tasteless. We have no idea what the ingredients are. His unorthodox methods and remedies are questionable in their efficacy compared to a placebo. He's no longer a licensed MD (physician) and is not registered as a licensed MD with the BC College of Physicians.

Dr. Ryder is by far THE best practitioner my family has had the pleasure of dealing with. Even with last minute “emergencies” he always fits us in. My kids even look forward to their visits with him.

I spent several months going to him for watery stool. Was treated for toxicity, bacterial stomach infection and parasites etc. My wallet was lighter but problem still there. Turns out my hemoglobin was 66 and after going to ER they discovered a large tumour in my colon. Colorectal cancer, had to get removed as my colon was almost completely blocked. Never once did he suggest I get a f.i.t. rest from my dr.

Dr Ryder's integrative medicine and practice is the best. His diagnostic acumen has kept me healthy for many years. I would definitely recommend him.

He is the most ethical honest doctor you could ever meet. He has helped me with things the medical profession just does not have the expertise to deal with. I would trust him with my life.

I'm very grateful to Dr. Ryder (who I consider a genius) for practicing complementary medicine over a period of many years now. Many years ago I had an intestinal yeast overgrowth that caused a breakdown in my health. When my regular doctor could not diagnose me or help, Dr. Ryder was able to get me up and working again. Since then he has assisted me through health issues time after time. I'm fortunate that I respond well to Vega testing and the remedies that he administers. His approach is original and may not be for everyone, but I think it is certainly worth a try when Western medicine cannot help. It was for me.
