I was introduced to Dr. Douillard by John de Kadt, who has been my acupuncturist/chinese herbalist for years.  John suggested that I learn more about Dr. Douillard's ayurvedic pancha karma detox and promised that it would be "life-changing."  The detox involved 7 days of drinking ghee/eating very litte and then 4 days at Douillard's LifeSpa where I received 2 hours/day of ayurvedic treatmetns/massage and consulted with Dr. Douillard.  In addition to the detox diet and treatments he prescribed journaling excercises, yoga and breathing excercises.  The treatment was intense and much of it was not what very "pleasant" but the results were incredible.  In addition to losing 6-7 pounds, the emotional benefits were extraordinary.  I found myself post-detox more open-minded and tremendously more patient.  My mind was exceptionally clear and I had much more stamina.  9 months later, I continue to follow many of his diet recommendations and do yoga 3-4 times per week.  Additionally, I have used Dr. Douillard's herbal remedies to treat several issues - all with great success.
I find Dr. Douillard to be incredible bright, an amazing listener and very good at explaining ayurvedic medicine treatments in simple terms.  Most recently, I did a phone consult with him to ensure that my family and I were prepared for a 2 week trip to india.  He prescribed some herbs for my husband, children and me to strenghten our immune systems + digest food easily while we were travelling and it was the easiest trip - healthwise- that we have ever had.  I truly appreciate Dr. Douillard's advice and trust him inherently for health and wellness advice.
