Acupuncture for Abdominal Pain
We highly recommend Advanced Healthcare Clinic, LLC. We started seeing Dr. Dube because my daughter developed functional abdominal pain and nothing else was working. He has always gone above and beyond to make sure Brianne is feeling better, even giving her “princess” needles. He has tried new techniques and we have even been able to take her off all the “traditional” medications she was on before seeing him. Brianne looks forward to going there to see Dr. Dube and Ingrid, they make everyone feel welcome and at home.

NAET for Food Allergies and Migraine

5 years ago I developed what I now know was food allergies, during that time I saw 17 different doctors ranging from allergists to neurologists, western to alternative. Not one of these doctors even suggested food allergies, although I had all the symptoms. I took drugs meant for high blood pressure and fibromyalgia, I even had muscles removed and nerves cut from my face. The migraines went from occasional to 4-6 a week, some lasted for days. I found a diet called “Deflame” which eliminated all inflammatory foods from my diet which did help for a while, but I quickly developed allergies to the foods that did not cause inflammation. It was only thru a Dr. Oz episode where he featured food allergies did I discover that this is what I had and it was causing all the migraines, bloating and weight gain. Dr. Oz explained that your body does not absorb any of the nutrients and this is why I had gotten so weak, I could not even walk around the block any longer. I either had a migraine or one was trying to start. I searched on the Internet for a Dr. that could help me and found Dr. Dube. After my first consultation visit he had me do a special blood test to see what I was allergic to and I was shocked to discover that I was allergic to almost everything, even spices and supplements. I told him that my goal was to eat pizza again and I am happy to say after 6 months of Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) I can not only eat pizza but I can eat everything! I have more energy and can now ride my bicycle 3 miles, something I had not done in over 3 years! Dr. Dube has also treated the tendinitis in my elbow, my stiff neck and my dry eyes successfully. My next therapy is the ringing in my ears, which I have full confidence he will also help! Thank you Dr. Dube for giving me my life back!

Acupuncture for Allergies

Dr. Dube’s professional enthusiasm and passion in Alternative Medicine gave me great impression while he was working with me in my clinic. His strong desire to gain new knowledge made him pursue to the Doctoral Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Dr. Dube’s unique combination of a variety of new techniques and deep care about his patients made him the most successful practitioner in this field. My wife has been suffering from wheat allergies for many years; with his allergy elimination technique, she felt so much better. Even though I have practiced more than 26 years in medicine, I learn from him and now I use the allergy elimination technique for my own patients. Dr. Dube and I are treating each other on a weekly basis… You should try his care yourself.

Acupuncture and Injection Therapy for Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Cervical Spinal Stenosis

After years of trying to manage my pain from arthritis, fibromyalgia and cervical spinal stenosis with traditional medicine, I was very fortunate to find Dr Mario Dube at Advanced Healthcare. After only two months of acupuncture and injection therapy treatment, my pain level has markedly decreased and my range of motion has greatly increased. As an added benefit, he has helped me control my allergies and I'm happy to say I'm not suffering from my usual Spring sinus infection. I definitely would recommend Dr Dube and his wonderful staff to anyone looking for relief from pain. I look forward to my appointments each week, knowing that afterwards I will feel even better!

Acupuncture and NAET (Numbudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) for Fibromyalgia

In 1987 at age 45 my wife had back surgery followed a few days later with a major stroke. Afterwards she had many major problems the worst being Fibromyalgia. She has suffered with flare-ups from this and has been bed ridden for a day every 4 to 5 days for the past 24 years. She has seen every type of MD possible, tried many medications including prescription drugs and other non-medical procedures with no relief. She decided to try Acupuncture again and contacted Dr. Mario Dube in Sarasota, Florida where we spend our winters. He has been amazing and as of today Bea has not had a flare-up in almost 4 weeks and the last one she had was so mild she was able to do everything she wanted that day. We consider Dr. Dube a miracle worker and thank him for his fantastic professional services. He has combined Acupuncture with NAET (allergy elimination technique ) resulting in these unbelievable results. We will continue treatment with Dr. Dube as he is also working on eliminating other problems suffered by Bea after the stroke. THANK YOU DR. DUBE.

Acupuncture for Back Pain, Gastrointestinal Disorders and Allergies

"This is the answer to my prayers!!" finding Dr. Dube his great acupuncture therapy/treatments has made me feel like I am on the road to have the quality of my life back. I lost my core strength after being diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2005. I have had chronic back, hip and lower extremity pain due to the lack of core strength. My husband and I discovered Dr. Dube and have responded to acupuncture 100%. We both are feeling better and better with less over the counter medications, less allergy problems... and for myself less stomach issues, which the latter were not the primary reasons for seeing Dr. Dube. I highly recommend Dr. Dube and his wonderful staff.

NAET for ADHD
My son started NAET Therapy with Dr. Dube this summer and I am so grateful for the alleviation of symptoms and developmental gains my son has made! Dr. Dube has been so instrumental to my son's healing. I cannot thank him and his staff enough for their care, concern and accommodation. My 5 year old can't wait for his appointments and it is wonderful, as a parent, to have a health care professional who actually listens to you. We drive an hour to see him and it is well worth the time!

Acupuncture for Low Back Pain
I was experiencing lower back pains to the point that I could not move. I began acupuncture. At first I was not sure about what the outcome would be, after the 2nd visit I noticed improvements in the pain level in my lower back. After about the 8th visit I was pain free. I am glad I decided to try acupuncture it worked for me.

Acupuncture for Low Back Pain
I have been suffering from lower back pain for the past four or five months, every morning when I woke my back would be so tight I could barely move. The only way to relieve the pain would be to take ibuprofen, I was taking 600-800 milligrams 2 to 3 times a day, I knew that this could cause other health issues if I continued over a long period of time, I was talking about my back pain with a coworker and he said that acupuncture really worked for him and he knew a great place, I made an appointment with Dr. Dube. On my first visit Dr. Dube asked me numerous questions and did a thorough exam to pin point where exactly my pain was and what the proper treatment was for me personally. The treatment was relaxing and enjoyable. The day after my visit I woke up to little or no pain, I stopped taking the ibuprofen and have had sustained results, it has now been three weeks since my first visit and I am still pain free, I am very thankful to Dr. Dube and his staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from pain.

Acupuncture for Back Pain
I was recommended to Dr. Dube's office by a friend at work that reported a drastic decrease in his own chronic pain issues. Admittedly, I have always been somewhat sceptical of many of the holistic therapies out there but I was intreagued by my friend's success. I have had 2 back surgeries in the past, played many years of full-contact sports, and have been a firefighter for many years now....needless to say, my body has taken a beating over the years. I had come to a point in my life (over the last few years) where I had just accepted the fact that I would always have to take either ibuprofen or Aleve daily for the rest of my life. Amazingly, after only a few sessions of being treated with acupuncture and very small injections of a natural anti-inflammatory in my affected areas, I am 98% pain free. I am also excited to report that I haven't needed to take ONE SINGLE DOSE of ibuprofen or Aleve in 3 weeks! This fact alone is, quite literally, adding years to my life. It is widely known that NSAID's (like ibuprofen or Aleve) are very detrimental to one's kidneys if taken in high doses or for long periods of time. Furthermore, my flexibility has increased due to less pain and I am feeling better everyday. Coupled with the amazing success of Dr. Dube's treatment plan and the fact that acupuncture is absolutely one of the most relaxing things I've experienced in many years, I feel like my stress level has been reduced beyond measure. My sincerist thanks goes out to Dr. Dube and Ingrid for helping me live a more tranquil and pain-free life

Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain
I'm a 54 year old man who was resigned to facing the inevitability of back surgery, after my inability to recover from yet another trauma to my lower back. My quality of life was far from what I was accustomed to, as a fit, athletic and exceedingly active person. Just as I was at my wits end in search of answers, my wife recommended I see Dr. Dube before submitting myself to invasive surgery. The results after a couple of months of being under Dr. Dube's care are nothing short of miraculous and surgery is the furthest thing from my mind. I'm now back to my old self, enjoying the lifestyle I've been accustomed to without the limitations of chronic back pain. Further, I'm heartened and encourage by the prospects of staying healthy, fit and pain free through my senior years, under Dr. Dube's care. I'm indebted to Dr. Dube and would unequivocally recommend his services for those suffering from conditions similar to mine or any other maladies he recommends acupuncture or alternative medicine for- don't get surgery before you get Dr. Dube's advice and care! My sincere appreciation for what you've done for me.

On February 1st, 2012, I was recommended by friends to see Dr. Dube as I had upper back, arm and neck pain.

I also would recommend my friends and relatives to Dr. Dube.

Acupuncture for Knee and Back Pain
I am a 66 years old man who has been suffering from knee and back pain. My knees were literally bone to bone and I was diagnosed with stenosis on my lumbar spine. On a scale from 1 to 10 my knee pain was 7/10 constantly and my back was at a level of 4 to 9/10 depending on the time of the day and my activity level. The pain was affecting my sleep. I was always tired and my condition was getting worst and worst. My orthopedic doctor suggested me that the best remedy for me in this situation was to go ahead and have surgery for both knees as well as my back over an extended period. On the other hand, my wife who really believes in Integrative medicine since her life has changed with the use of this medicine encouraged me to try a different route. She was worry because she knew two of her friends who went through similar surgery that became worse afterwards. I always been skeptical about alternative medicine but, due to the persistence of my wife, I finally decided to give a try to acupuncture. After 1 month of treatments under the care of Dr. Dube, I started to see the positive results in my health. I have since then received treatments for a period of 6 months combined which included acupuncture, injection therapy, herbal medicine and nutritional supplements. I received more treatments at the beginning and now I am seeing Dr. Dube as maintenance and preventative measure. Today, the pain level of my knees have decreased to 2/10 and my back to 1/10. My quality of live has improved at 90%. I now fallow all the instructions and advice that Dr. Dube recommends me since I am now a firm believer in acupuncture. I want to thanks Dr. Dube for his dedication, attention and professionalism.

Nutritional Counseling and Acupuncture for Lower Back Pain
In fall of 2011, I started watching Internet ads for nutritional supplements. Each one I watched convinced me I could not go another day without this wondrous product. First thing I knew I was taking eight a day! Not only was this costly but I began to wonder if it was wise. I mean, eight powerful herbal supplements on top of over-the-counter stuff and prescription meds. Several MDs I mentioned this to admitted they knew nothing about nutrition.
On my first visit to Dr. Dube something about his presence put me immediately at ease. I learned there was only one supplement I was benefiting from. As for all the other pills I was taking, Dr. Dube said I should quit most of those. I left that day feeling I’d shaken a fifty-pound brass monkey off my back. Before leaving though I mentioned how I’d suffered for more than two months with a bad lower back. Although I’d had no intention of having an acupuncture treatment, he performed one. I returned in a week for a follow up. Now, months later, I remain pain free and continue to take about an eighth of the pills. I buy my vitamins from Dr. Dube for I am convinced whatever comes out of his office is top shelf stuff.

Acupuncture for Arryhthmia
For the last several years I would have an episode of arryhthmia every 3 months or so. I went to Dr. Dube and discussed information that acupuncture could help the condition. We started an acupuncture program and I have not had arryhthmia for the last 7 months from starting the treatments. I believe acupuncture and herbal/supplements additions have certainly alleviated my condition.

Acupuncture to Reduce Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
I am really pleased with the results I got with Dr. Dube. I had problems of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation and TMJ syndrome. With 3 months of acupuncture, herbs and nutritional supplements, my blood pressure which was 170/100 on my last visit to my family doctor is now maintained to an average of 121/73 for the past 2 months. My cholesterol has also reduced and my bowels function is much improved. Additionally, Dr. Dube gave me good advice on food and water intake and I have lost unexpectedly 10 pounds. I have also been suffering with TMJ syndrome for a number of years, which was affecting my sleep due to the intense pain. I no longer have any pain since I stated the treatment with Dr. Dube. He is now my doctor, and I go to visit him regularly to maintain my good health and follow his recommendations. Thank you so much Dr. Dube.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs for Diabetes and High Blood Pressure
I recently ended up in the emergency room because I was feeling ill to the point where I might have been in danger. There, I was informed that my blood sugar was over 450 and was sent home with a bottle of pills and advised that I should see my GP. ASAP, I got a book on Diabetic diets and increased my exercise. Still by the time of my appointment my blood sugar was still way too high. More blood work was ordered and I was told that I was diabetic and hypertensive. I was prescribed three drugs. Before committing to a lifetime of prescription drug therapy I decided to try something different and made an appointment with an acupuncture physician. Dr. Dube treated me with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutritional recommendations and supplements for few weeks. I was instructed to monitor carefully my blood sugar and pressure during the course of the entire therapy and my blood sugar and pressure are now within the normal range. I can‘t remember the last time I felt this good.

Acupuncture for Trigeminal Neuralgia
I have suffered with recurring bouts of Trigeminal Neuralgia in my face for the last 30 years. I have over the years been diagnosed by other doctors and prescribed different medications but nothing seemed to relieve the pain. Thanks to Dr. Dube and his acupuncture, laser therapy and injection therapy I am presently pain free.

Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Recommendations for Infertility
I’ve tried to conceive for the last 4 years without success. I am over 35 years old and through Dr. Dube blood test recommendations, I saw my ovarian reserve very low, which could have explained my history of 3 miscarriages. I have been under the care of Dr. Dube after my last miscarriage to explore alternative medicine and see if there was hope for me before I consider western medicine with procedures such as IVF. I have been under a regiment of acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutritional advices for few months. I am happy to say now that I am 13 weeks pregnant and for the first time in my life, I saw through ultrasound at my Obstetrician and Gynecologist doctor a healthy heartbeat and a very active little baby moving his little arms and legs from side to side. Dr. Dube monitored carefully my thyroid function throughout the pregnancy since I suffer from hashimoto disease, same as my HCG and progesterone levels. I am so thankful for the outmost care and the wonderful staff. I would highly recommend to anyone who has problems to conceive to consult Dr. Dube. There is hope; my biggest dream is now reality. Thank you from all my heart.

Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia, Vertigo and Anxiety

I am very happy! After seeking treatment for seven years for my symptoms of fibromyalgia, three years suffering from vertigo and months with anxiety, I couldn’t even drive my own car; I can hardly believe that after the second acupuncture treatment I started to drive again without fear.

Now after my fourth treatment I no longer take Xanax or Meclizine and no longer suffer from the terrible side effects. I had consulted a Neurologist, Audiologist and Internal Medicine, etc… and they couldn’t help me. Now, after a short time with acupuncture, I enjoy waking up every morning without pain. My husband calls me to make sure I don’t forget my appointment, he is also happy to see me so much better.

I must also say that coming to your clinic is like going to the house of a friend, all are very friendly and courteous. Thank you Dr. Dube

Acupuncture to Manage Pain and Fibromyalgia
I am a 56 years old women who has suffered with pain for more than 6 years due to fibromyalgia. I went to see many doctors, who treated me without any results. They prescribed me Cymbalta and Lyrica, in addition to many other medicines. I was not able to sleep because I could not tolerate the intense pain. I felt very depressed and most of the time and had no energy. I was desperate and sad of feeling this way. A family member introduced me to acupuncture and really caught my attention. I made an appointment with Dr. Dube. Each time I use to go for a treatment to his clinic based in Sarasota, I could feel the change and see the difference in feeling better and better. My quality of life has now improved to 80%. I have stopped taking medications, I can now sleep well, throughout the whole night, and I feel more happy and enthusiastic about life. Thanks to Dr. Dube, the person who treated me and have made me a better and more engaged mother and wife.

Oriental Medicine for Chronic Migraine Headaches
I feel lucky to have found Dr. Dube because he has really changed my life. I have suffered from chronic migraine headaches since childhood and tried countless treatments and medications, but nothing relieves the pain I had. I felt hopeless and frustrated. I was introduced to Acupuncture by a friend of mine. I finally called Dr. Dube and attended my first appointment. From that day on, everything changed. In the first week of treatments combining acupuncture and herbs, I felt a great relief. My migraines seemed to dissipate and after few treatments the pain completely vanished. I stopped taking migraine medicine. I feel more relaxed and centered and able to handle stressors in my life. Besides the migraines, the treatments of Dr. Dube helped me through intestinal issues I had for many years. I do not suffer from constipation anymore with the help of acupuncture and nutritional supplementation. Furthermore, I had severe acute low back pain during a vacation and immediately scheduled a treatment with Dr. Dube upon my return; I had 90% pain relief after just one treatment. Following up with two treatments got rid of my pain for good. Dr. Dube also gave me great lifestyle advice that I still follow faithfully. Dr. Dube is a charismatic, attentive, and skilled physician. He shows a lot of commitment and passion for what he is doing. Located on the frontier between Sarasota and Bradenton, the Clinic environment is calm, comfortable, relaxing, and professional. I have been definitely impressed with my results and I highly recommend Dr. Dube.

NAET for Food Allergies and Migraine

5 years ago I developed what I now know was food allergies, during that time I saw 17 different doctors ranging from allergists to neurologists, western to alternative. Not one of these doctors even suggested food allergies, although I had all the symptoms. I took drugs meant for high blood pressure and fibromyalgia, I even had muscles removed and nerves cut from my face. The migraines went from occasional to 4-6 a week, some lasted for days. I found a diet called “Deflame” which eliminated all inflammatory foods from my diet which did help for a while, but I quickly developed allergies to the foods that did not cause inflammation. It was only thru a Dr. Oz episode where he featured food allergies did I discover that this is what I had and it was causing all the migraines, bloating and weight gain. Dr. Oz explained that your body does not absorb any of the nutrients and this is why I had gotten so weak, I could not even walk around the block any longer. I either had a migraine or one was trying to start. I searched on the Internet for a Dr. that could help me and found Dr. Dube. After my first consultation visit he had me do a special blood test to see what I was allergic to and I was shocked to discover that I was allergic to almost everything, even spices and supplements. I told him that my goal was to eat pizza again and I am happy to say after 6 months of Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) I can not only eat pizza but I can eat everything! I have more energy and can now ride my bicycle 3 miles, something I had not done in over 3 years! Dr. Dube has also treated the tendinitis in my elbow, my stiff neck and my dry eyes successfully. My next therapy is the ringing in my ears, which I have full confidence he will also help! Thank you Dr. Dube for giving me my life back!

Acupuncture for Migraine
I experienced my first Migraine in 2005 as the worst headache of my life, thinking I was having a stroke. MRI's CT scans proved nothing. Multiple headaches horrible ever since. I finally submited myself to Topamax medication for migraine prevention, Imitrex Injections and on going visits to a neurologist. Well the Topamax has saved my life, but headaches do persist from time to time. Flashing lights in my eyes at night as blue paint balls keep me awake, left ear pulsations that can drive a sane person over the edge never seems to go away, until Dr. Dube started the Acupunture treatment. I have had acupunture previously with another MD, however certainly not as precise. For the first time my flashing lights are almost gone, and my ear pulsations are hardly noticible. I'm sleeping much better. I went to Dr. Dube as my neurologist wanted to increase my Topamax and I didn't want more side effects, slow cognition, tingles in fingers, etc. My neurologist is great and all for the acupuncture as well. I am to see him soon and I hope for the first time I can lower my Topamax dose and maybe go off of it completly. I highly recommed Dr. Dube's services. He listens, takes his time and really understands what a person is experiencing. What a great asset we have in our community.

Acupuncture for Headaches
I was suffering from terrible tension headaches on a daily basis and it began to destroy my daily activities, my husband and I decided to try acupuncture for the first time although we have heard about it for many years. Dr. Dube was very thorough with his initial evaluation and answered any questions that I had. During the few minutes I sat in the waiting area I felt the tension rising in my head, although the waiting area was very pleasant and the receptionist was very warm and attentive the pain did not stop. I was very surprised shortly after my treatment began the pain stopped and It has been two weeks and it has not returned. I feel like I can start living my life again without the pain and I have Dr. Dube to thank for it. I highly recommend to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr. Dube.

Acupuncture for Tension Headaches and Neck/Shoulder Pain
I was always a little skeptical of Acupuncture but after a year of never ending tension headaches and back/shoulder pain I decided to give it a try. I have never been more impressed. Dr. Dube and his staff are amazing. They treat their patients with the upmost care. My headaches have been resolved, my stress level has decreased, I am sleeping better (I wasn't even aware that I wasn't sleeping well until after my first treatment), I have almost completely stopped grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw, and overall I just feel better. I find myself counting down the days until my next treatment. The office is very clean and peaceful. Acupuncture doesn't hurt, it is actually relaxing. If you haven't tried it before, I would HIGHLY recommend that you see Dr. Dube and his amazing staff.

Acupuncture for Sleep and Headaches
After suffering with headaches for a few years and seeing several doctors, my general physican finally suggested that I visit an Acupuncturist and I am so glad that I did because I never felt as great as I do today. I went from having daily headaches to now being able to enjoy weeks without the agonizing pain. I am also able to concentrate and I am more productive at work. I wish I would have known about Acupuncture sooner because I remember looking back and feeling apprehensive just thinking about experiencing a headache when I had an important deadline or an exam. My headaches were getting so bad that I was having trouble falling sleep. The following day, I would often feel lethargic and could not function without having tons of caffeine.

Dr. Dube’s acupuncture treatments and the prescribed Chinese herbs have really improved my life. The treatments at first focused on relieving my pain and helping me sleep. I started seeing results after my first treatment. The week that I went to see Dr. Dube, I was able to quickly fall asleep and I stayed asleep the entire night. I was very surprised because I was used to waking up once or twice per night due to my headaches or to use the restroom. I now sleep the entire night and that feels great. I continued with more acupuncture treatments that took care of my headaches. In conjunction with the treatments Dr. Dube has been giving me some dietary and lifestyle suggestions that have made a difference in the way I feel. Thank you Dr. Dube, I am so thankful for your expertise, knowledge, and for caring about your patients.

Oriental Medicine for Chronic Migraine Headaches
I feel lucky to have found Dr. Dube because he has really changed my life. I have suffered from chronic migraine headaches since childhood and tried countless treatments and medications, but nothing relieves the pain I had. I felt hopeless and frustrated. I was introduced to Acupuncture by a friend of mine. I finally called Dr. Dube and attended my first appointment. From that day on, everything changed. In the first week of treatments combining acupuncture and herbs, I felt a great relief. My migraines seemed to dissipate and after few treatments the pain completely vanished. I stopped taking migraine medicine. I feel more relaxed and centered and able to handle stressors in my life. Besides the migraines, the treatments of Dr. Dube helped me through intestinal issues I had for many years. I do not suffer from constipation anymore with the help of acupuncture and nutritional supplementation. Furthermore, I had severe acute low back pain during a vacation and immediately scheduled a treatment with Dr. Dube upon my return; I had 90% pain relief after just one treatment. Following up with two treatments got rid of my pain for good. Dr. Dube also gave me great lifestyle advice that I still follow faithfully. Dr. Dube is a charismatic, attentive, and skilled physician. He shows a lot of commitment and passion for what he is doing. Located on the frontier between Sarasota and Bradenton, the Clinic environment is calm, comfortable, relaxing, and professional. I have been definitely impressed with my results and I highly recommend Dr. Dube.

Acupuncture for Non-Healing Wound, Weight Loss and Cholesterol Lip problem
I am a 65 years old man, 5’9”. When I went to see Dr. Dube early February, I had a non-healing wound for three years on my lower lip with pre-cancerous cells as predetermined by biopsy with my dermatologist. I had as well other health issues such as hypercholesterolemia, an inflamed prostate and was overweight at 212 lbs. I asked Dr. Dube if he could do something with my lip and his answer was yes. He created specific treatment protocols to my conditions. I had acupuncture, laser, herbal and injection therapy for my lip. For my cholesterol and prostate, I had acupuncture and herbs. For my weight, he gave me a detox program for 10 days, changed my diet and gave me nutritional advice. I followed conscientiously his recommendations. 3 ½ months later, after seeing him on a weekly basis, 2 to 3 times per week, my lip is 90% improved, my lipids are significantly better according to my blood tests as showed below:  

   Before Treatments  After Treatments  Difference
 Triglycerides  96 mg/dL  85 mg/dL  - 11 mg/dL    
 Cholesterol, Total  229 mg/dL  176 mg/dL  - 53 mg/dL
 HDL (Good Cholesterol)  46 mg/dL  48 mg/dL  +  2 mg/dL
 LDL (Bad Cholesterol)  163 mg/dL  111 mg/dL  - 52 mg/dL

My prostate seems to be improved as well since instead of going to the bathroom 3 times per night I now go only once, not to mention that my sexual life has improved tremendously. My PSA level [Prostate Specific Ag] decreased by 2.5 ng/mL. I have also lost 21 pounds and my energy level is much higher than before. Dr. Dube also helped me with acupuncture, electric stimulation and injection therapy for a sprain ankle due to a sport event. Those therapies helped me to recover much faster and go back to my activities. Thank you to acupuncture and integrative medicine, I now believe firmly that there is an alternative way to get your health back under control. Thanks a million to Dr. Dube, which have helped me have a better quality of life.

Acupuncture to Reduce Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
I am really pleased with the results I got with Dr. Dube. I had problems of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation and TMJ syndrome. With 3 months of acupuncture, herbs and nutritional supplements, my blood pressure which was 170/100 on my last visit to my family doctor is now maintained to an average of 121/73 for the past 2 months. My cholesterol has also reduced and my bowels function is much improved. Additionally, Dr. Dube gave me good advice on food and water intake and I have lost unexpectedly 10 pounds. I have also been suffering with TMJ syndrome for a number of years, which was affecting my sleep due to the intense pain. I no longer have any pain since I stated the treatment with Dr. Dube. He is now my doctor, and I go to visit him regularly to maintain my good health and follow his recommendations. Thank you so much Dr. Dube.

Acupuncture for Knee and Back Pain
I am a 66 years old man who has been suffering from knee and back pain. My knees were literally bone to bone and I was diagnosed with stenosis on my lumbar spine. On a scale from 1 to 10 my knee pain was 7/10 constantly and my back was at a level of 4 to 9/10 depending on the time of the day and my activity level. The pain was affecting my sleep. I was always tired and my condition was getting worst and worst. My orthopedic doctor suggested me that the best remedy for me in this situation was to go ahead and have surgery for both knees as well as my back over an extended period. On the other hand, my wife who really believes in Integrative medicine since her life has changed with the use of this medicine encouraged me to try a different route. She was worry because she knew two of her friends who went through similar surgery that became worse afterwards. I always been skeptical about alternative medicine but, due to the persistence of my wife, I finally decided to give a try to acupuncture. After 1 month of treatments under the care of Dr. Dube, I started to see the positive results in my health. I have since then received treatments for a period of 6 months combined which included acupuncture, injection therapy, herbal medicine and nutritional supplements. I received more treatments at the beginning and now I am seeing Dr. Dube as maintenance and preventative measure. Today, the pain level of my knees have decreased to 2/10 and my back to 1/10. My quality of live has improved at 90%. I now fallow all the instructions and advice that Dr. Dube recommends me since I am now a firm believer in acupuncture. I want to thanks Dr. Dube for his dedication, attention and professionalism.

Acupuncture for Genuine and Individual Care
Dr. Mario Dube is a very personable Doctor who asks a lot of questions to understand all aspects of the patients problem(s). He also checks up each week for a detailed progress report. If the patient does not openly voice the information each week he will ask all the questions one by one until he gets the full picture of what has taken place since your last visit. Dr. Dube truely is the type of Doctor we all wish we had because he genuinely cares for his patients and gives them his undivided attention and his very best at each appointment. He is also not narrowminded by his profession and believes that in some cases accupunture may be best while in other cases chiropractic or western medicines may be a better solution for some patients. What i really like though is that he is very analitical by nature which means that he studies his information and his art of medicine very carefully just as he does his individual patients. This ultimately equates to Quality Care. Thanks Dr. Dube for taking great pride in your work.

Acupuncture for Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain
I came to the Advanced Healthcare Clinic on the recommendation of my chiropractor. I have suffered from neck and back pain for years and my latest pain was on my upper arm area which greatly reduced my normal range of motion. I underwent acupuncture for four weeks and under Dr. Dube’s care I am now pain free and able to resume the many activities I thought I would never be able to do again. I continue to go to the AHClinic on a monthly maintenance schedule. I found Dr. Dube to be a trustworthy, caring professional. He is very knowledgeable about acupuncture and integrative medicine and makes you feel at ease while under his care. His staff is warm and friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Dube to my family and friends and encourage anyone who needs acupuncture and integrative medicine to check out their website and take that first step towards total wellness.

Acupuncture for Chronic Cervical & Shoulder Pain
I came to Advanced Healthcare Clinic in search of an answer to a chronic cervical neck and shoulder pain I’ve be battling for over seven (7) years. I’ve done the MRI’s, been seen by the best orthopedic doctors and sports medical facilities in Sarasota, Florida and Indianapolis, Indiana (my home town). Taken muscle relaxers, tried the chiropractor and even done the laser treatments. Nothing relieved my pain, until I was treated by Dr Dube with acupuncture. After the second visit my pain went from a 10 to a 2, and today 5 visits later I’m almost pain free! It is very simple,the treatment and therapy works. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank You, Dr. Dube for all your help!

Acupuncture and Detoxification Program
I am a 70 years old female, perceived as energetic, smiling and in good health. However, the caring, and the death of my husband after 50 years of marriage, from a long illness from cancer in February 2011 drawn out every ounce of energy and positive outlook from me. I Canada where I reside, I did start traditional acupuncture treatment periodically in the spring of 2011. My energy did improve. Then a trip to Sarasota in January 2012, allowed me to consult with Dr. Dube. He immediately ran tests to detect the state of the thyroid, plus a severe deficiency of vitamin D, gone undetected for years by my physician. He did prescribe a gentle, long term detox program, which I will continue on my return to Canada. I received 9 acupuncture treatments (due to time constraints). This acupuncture did release a flood of sorrow so deeply hidden that I didn’t even realize it were there. The tears and deep sorrow came out like a tsunami. After every treatment I felt so relieved, like if the pain was peeling off, layer upon layer. I had made giant leaps in getting back my health. He found the way to unlock the gates to let go of all this negative energy that was slowly poisoning my vitality. Tests for my thyroid will lead to modifications in my diet to eliminate gluten to ease the stress on the thyroid and adrenal glands. Probiotics will strengthen a better functioning of my gut system. A deep cleanse on the cellular and organs level will be necessary to insure a melanoma removal 4 years ago does not return. I will definitively be a repeat patient wherever I return to Florida and I am most grateful for the attention and personalized care, and for the excellent acupuncture treatments that zeroed in on the urgent remedial needed to restore my health. With gratitude, L. Martel, Ottawa, Canada

Acupuncture, Injection Therapy and Laser Therapy for Post-Stroke Recovery

I am a 73 year old female who has suffered from osteoarthritis for many years.  I have taken several over-the-counter pain medications to relieve the pain, as well as prescription drugs.  Through the years the pain continued to increase to the point I was taking an excessive dosage of pain medication.  On March 23, 2011 I suffered a stroke and was in intensive care for 5 days and was unable to walk.  Upon release from the hospital, I began physical therapy for a period of 8 weeks.

Prescribed pain medicine would not alleviate the pain I experienced, sometimes 24 hours a day.  My doctors had determined I could not take medication that contained aspirin or Ibuprofen and the pain at times would become excruciating.  I had tried acupuncture in the past and it offered some relief.  However it didn’t seem to be that effective that time.

During a shopping trip I spotted a sign for Advanced Healthcare, LLC and walked in and talked to Dr. Mario Dube, DOM, AP.  We scheduled an appointment and I experienced immediate relief after my first session and continued to get Acupuncture Therapy, Laser Therapy and Injection Therapy once a week. What a relief!


My husband and I travel quite often between Michigan and Florida, so sometimes I have to go several weeks without treatment and pain medication does not work effectively.  The first thing I do on returning to Florida is go see Dr. Dube.  I would highly recommend his treatment and methods for anyone suffering from the type of pain such as I experienced.

Laser Therapy & Herbal Medicine for Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
I have a 5 year old daughter that for the last 8 months has been having recurrent urinary tract infections. She has had many doctor appointments, emergency clinic visits, and I have even taken her to a pediatric urologist to help her with her urinary tract infections. I have tried many things to help prevent her problem and after every infection she kept getting treated with antibiotics for the infections. I have become very concerned because the infections kept coming back quicker and even one of her tests showed that the bacteria present had become resistant to some antibiotics that had been previously used. Frustrated, I searched for an alternative and I am so happy that I did. I found Dr. Dube and he has been helping my daughter overcome the urinary tract infections. I am so happy to see that my daughter has a good appetite again, is more active, and has not had any issues with her urine infections again. Thank you Dr. Dube!!

Acupuncture and Herbs for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
Since several years now, I had irritation and repetitive infections of the bladder. Allopathic medicine did not enable me to come to an end with this problem, and the antibiotics were never able to regulate anything. I saw so many specialists, and with time, the antibiotics were more concentrated, frequent and especially without result! I then decided to consult Dr. Dube and with his recommendations, I began treatments combining herbs and acupuncture. After only three months of treatments, the continual desire to urinate is almost entirely eliminated. Thank you Dr. Dube.

How Supplements Work Hand In Hand with Acupuncture

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 07:59:16 +0000

Many in the Sarasota and Bradenton areas are aware of acupuncture and its benefits, but traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”) also includes another component: supplements. Using both acupuncture and supplements together constitutes the longest recorded medical system in history. Ancient Chinese literature records about 13,000 medicinals and more than 100,000 medicinal recipes. Ingredients are typically plants [...]
