Dear Dr. Stein,
I have fibromyalgia and I was so unhappy.
It's bad enough with constant pain, then I lost my sexual pleasure and there was no pleasure in my life at all.
Since first traveling to see you three months ago, I gradually started to feel some pleasure in my vagina, and then, all of a sudden, I had an orgasm for the first time in years. I was so pleasantly shocked. Now I can have pleasure again, and again! It makes me feel wonderful. And my husband, too. I used to have sex just to accommodate him. Now, we are both happy. It sure has given me back a good quality of life. As a matter-of-fact, it makes me feel like I've still got a life.
I thought I was "gone" and that happiness was lost forever.
Since your wonderful diagnosis and kind effective care and treatment, you've given me my life back.
I've never been so pleased in all my life.

Dear Dr. Stein,
During our initial consultation you asked how you could help me and my response was "I just want my life back". I can't tell you how excited I was when I realized I finally found a doctor that could do just that, "give me my life back!"
It had been five long years of reading about HRT and experimenting with various therapy. My libido was zero and I had migraine headaches from the HRT I had been taking for three years. I replaced the synthetic hormones with natural cream prescribed by a holistic doctor. The headaches went away but still no desire for my husband. In my frustration I went off everything. My husband and I were loosing what was once a close loving relationship. Once more I began my quest to find help. I read about your practice in the paper and made the appointment that changed my life.
Finally, I found a doctor who understands the importance of thorough testing. Your exam was very intense. My husband and I were both amazed at the wealth of information you uncovered during the testing as well as the very complete exam. After reviewing the test results I had several different kinds of replacement therapy to choose from, and each was explained in terms I could understand. I chose the estrogen with testosterone to improve my libido.
It has been seven months now and I am the best I have ever been. My husband and I are once again the close loving couple we used to be. As an added bonus of your treatment, I have experience improved muscle and skin tone. My temperament is always even and people notice how much happier I am. The GyneFlex vaginal exercises you prescribed are incredible. I can exercise at the gym as well as laugh and sneeze. My improved muscle tone has completely stopped the urinary incontinence.
Thank you Dr. Stein for giving me my life back.

My wife has battled doctors since she was officially diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1994. Although the battles had begun way before then, I had always gone with her to see the doctors, to kind of be the 500 pound gorilla to make sure they listened to her.
You must understand when I first met Dr. Stein and Dr. Lutzo, the attitude that I adopted was one of protection and wait and see, and I will believe it when I see it'. Get the picture! Not much interaction between my self and the doctors, although my wife Sherry talked with them and came back with this wonderful glowing report "oh they are going to help me yada, yada". This was all stuff I had heard before.
On November 12th, Dr. Stein called and said that no one from the Sally show was returning his calls, so we talked with him about just finding help. Now people let me tell you, at that point I was thinking that this was going to be the same old deal. Dr. Stein stated, we will have you out here during the week after Thanksgiving. You and Sherry need my help and my assistant Mary will contact you by Friday to set up the schedule. Lo and behold Friday came, and Mary called to tell us that she had us booked to leave the Monday after Thanksgiving, along with a booked hotel that was close to the clinic.
We arrived at the clinic around 11am and filled out paper work, (Sherry with her cane and me with my attitude). We filled out medical information, and then both of us filled out some profiles for Dr. Lutzo, who was the first person we saw. I was watching what was going on in the back office. There were several people in the waiting room. Dr. Stein greeted every one of them when they went into back office, and he said goodbye to every one of them. I'm thinking. hmmm, what's up with this?
Dr. Stein then made it a point to come out and greet us, and gave Sherry a big hug and welcome to the clinic with a kind of a (what I call a "rah, rah" speech). He told us that Dr. Lutzo would be with us soon, and then he would see us. Of course, I am thinking OK, we get 15 minutes then out the door with a handshake and a hearty hi ho silver, right! Around 11:30 am, we met with another angel named Dr. Mary Lutzo. She interviewed us, looked at our profiles, talked with us, and then talked with Sherry one on one. Without getting into detail, Sherry has problems from her past family life, and she sees another Dr. as well. It took Dr. Lutzo less than an hour to get to the root of the problem and start dealing with it. (FOLKS LISTEN UP, THE MIRICLE HAD BEGUN). After talking with this wonderful caring Dr. Lutzo, who committed to do telephone and video conferencing therapy with Sherry on a weekly basis, we waited for our, what I thought was going to be 15 minutes with Dr. Stein.
At 1:00pm the Dr. Stein came out and took us into his office. We watched a wonderful informative tape about the Foundation, and then he proceeded to talk to Sherry and myself about our commitment to each other and our love for one another. Then went over our profiles and discussed in depth some of the things that might be wrong, and what kind of tests he would do that day. Dr. Stein proceeded to tour us through his state-of-the art exam rooms and began the examination on Sherry. Yes folks, I was there to help. It was all hands on, husband and wife in the same room with the doctor, including both of us in the exam, and letting me help! This was truly hands on and very informative, no mumbo jumbo, no keeping this secretive. No normal doctor B.S. like "the famitz is connected wrong the hydro-famdinkie which is obviously causing the bibro-fizzy discharge". Nope. It was plain English, to the point, with reasons why and what results we should get. We spent from 1:00pm until 7:30pm with Dr. Daniel Stein, myself, Sherry, our red-headed angel nurse assisting, and our loving angel patient advocate dropping in fussing over us and worrying. Hmmm, sounds like a loving caring family, doesn't it?
We left the clinic around 8:00pm walking on air. Why you ask? Because Dr. Daniel Stein had found the problem(s) Sherry was having in just those few short hours. This wonderful caring man had discovered why my loving wife hurt when she had sex, and why she had the loss of her sex drive, why she didn't smile anymore. Ladies and gentlemen we had been seeing doctors since 1994. Seven, count them, seven years trying to find answers to these same questions.
The next day, Thursday, we checked out of the hotel and went back to the clinic so Dr. Stein could meet with us one more time. Once again I got to help. Then he sat us down and went over a program he had designed for Sherry to help her get back on the right road to sexual health and happiness.
This are just some after thoughts. I am not an emotional person. But after meeting Dr. Stein and being around his warmth and his caring, healing energy, it was hard for me to say "good bye" as we left. I was choked-up due to the fact that I knew this man had truly helped us. We stay in contact via email and phone. In just two weeks Sherry was smiling more and is now feeling much better. The sparkle is back in her eyes. That alone was worth it all. I really and truly can't find enough words or even the right words to express how I feel about Dr. Stein. Dr.Stein,Dr. Lutzo, your loving staff I love you all, and meeting you has changed my life, (our life). I truly feel in my heart like you are family, and we miss you on a daily basis. Our hearts and our minds are constantly with you and thinking about you and the Foundation for Intimacy.
Forever indebted to my Family in Florida

Since coming to Foundation for Intimacy I have experienced better health and more energy. My sexual life has improved and I have had a better relationship with my wife. I plan to continue seeing Dr. Stein so that I can continue with my good sense of well being and happiness.

Dear Dr. Stein.
Since March 11, I have taken the treatment you prescribed. I noticed right off, the effect on my erection was great, but reaching orgasm was still difficult. After a few days using a second medication about 4 days, I felt inside a more intense sexual felling like I use to feel 3 years ago, and reaching orgasm is easier and more satisfying. Thank you. I am very pleased with your help!

Dear Dr. Stein,
I hope all is well in Tampa and that your practice is booming. In July of 2001, the fifth marriage counselor that my husband and I were seeing referred me to The Foundation For Intimacy. I believe that our problem was my lack of desire for my husband. I thought that problem stemmed from communication problems that my husband and I had. I now believe that the exact opposite was true. Because of my lack of desire, I began to withhold affection for fear that my actions would be misconstrued as an invitation for sex. I also felt guilty because I didn't feel desirous toward my husband , whom I love. Needless to say, he wasn't happy with the situation either.
Dr. Stein did a complete exam and extensive testing. The results were encouraging. My testosterone level was extremely low and probably had been for some time. The hormone replacement alternatives were explained to me, and in a few weeks I had hormone therapy to increase my levels of testosterone.
The results have been incredible! Not only is my libido doing great, but I have more energy, more of an overall good feeling and am able to build muscle faster than I ever have. During my exam, Dr. Stein also found that my bone density was below average and identified a pelvic hernia that two previous gynecologists had not. The testosterone, along with extra calcium, vitamin D and magnesium will allow calcium to be absorbed into my bones, therefore improving my bone density. My vaginal hernias (cystocele, rectocele, and uterine prolapse) are getting better rapidly as my pelvic muscle strength increases quickly due to the GyneFlex exercises prescribed by the Dr. Stein, otherwise I may have had surgery in the future.
I can't thank Dr. Stein and The Foundation For Intimacy enough, although my marriage might not work, I don't have the guilt associated with the relationship any longer. If my marriage does not last, I feel that I will be able to enter into another relationship feeling whole and healthy.

Dear Dr. Stein,
Thank you for spending so much time with my fiance and me and for showing so much concern. I feel very lucky to have met you and be your patient. After our appointment with you this evening, the two of us went to dinner and discussed implementing some changes in our routine. I also enjoyed reading the first two chapters of your book and I look forward to the rest. I just want to thank you for your patience and understanding and your encouraging manner on a topic that is apparently more difficult for me than I initially thought. I can visualize the positive results, so I better get ready and take some action. And action is happening.
Thank you for your help.

Dr. Stein,
I hope all is well in Tampa and that your practice is booming. I cannot state strongly enough my appreciation for your accurate analysis of my problems and your prescriptions which have given me a new life and outlook.
Everything is working as planned -- my energy level is high and my libido has been re-born. By the way, REQUIRE your patients to read your book. It is not only beautiful and spiritually re-enforcing, but is factually informative as well. It will give your readers the basics.
Thank you again. I am looking forward to meeting with you in October.

Dear Dr. Stein,
I want to write and tell you how pleased we are with your program. My wife and I began in April and after the blood test I was impressed with the physical exam. I was fascinated with the analysis and informative information. The program is so logical and sensible. It just makes good sense to test each and every aspect to identify and eliminate possible issue to get to your maximum condition.
I would strongly recommend your program to any couple who wants to improve their lives. Since beginning the testosterone, my wife has lost weight, increased her muscle and muscular tone, and became much more energetic and motivated. Most importantly, her spirit and self esteem are so strong, she's so proud of how she feels and looks. It has done wonders for her self image.
Our sex life is incredible, not just the frequency but the quality and depth of our intimacy. This "Fountain of Youth" drug has improved our relationship and our lives. I am truly thankful for your help and caring treatment.
Thanks

Dear Dr. Stein,
Thank you so much for opening The Foundation for Intimacy! Life for my husband and me has improved beyond what I dreamed possible. Since I started using the GyneFlex to improve my vaginal muscle tone, I have noticed a huge decrease in incontinence problems. I almost never have any problems with "leakage". I can even jump up and down now without a problem! I love to dance so now we can go out dancing and I don't have to wear a sanitary napkin.
I also enjoy sex a great deal more than before. The improved tone makes it possible for me to contract my muscles during sex in a way that I couldn't before. This makes for better sensation and enjoyment for both me and my husband.
The addition of hormone therapy, primarily testosterone, has really made this a total rebirth experience. Between the improved muscle control and tone, heightened sensation and the improved sex drive aided by the testosterone, I honestly didn't know what I was missing. My interest in sexual activity has increased to a level beyond anything I can remember in my past. I think I just went through the motions, to some extent, through the years, not knowing how much better it could be! I think the absence of desire is often regarded as a "natural" part of the aging process, but now I think it is a cause of, or at least hastens, the aging process, both mentally and physically.
Thanks again so much to everyone at the Foundation. After the events of Tuesday at the World Trade Center, it makes me remember that we have no guarantees on tomorrow so we'd better make the best of the days we have on this earth.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Stein,
I am a 45 year old woman and have been on a large dose of Prozac for 10 years. I noticed 4 days into Prozac therapy that I was stating to "see the light" at the end of the tunnel and at the same time I noticed that my sex drive was all but gone. I still could become some what aroused but my previous ability to have wonderful orgasms was nearly gone. After a partial hysterectomy 8 years later, I became totally unable to reach a climax and orgasm. And I tried and boy did I try. I missed this wonderful part of life and thought my life had changed, Prozac and the partial hysterectomy along with my age were just a sad fact of life. I noticed the Foundation for Intimacy ad in my local newspaper, I saw it in about 4 or 5 editions before I responded. The email address seemed like an easy way to get information without embarrassment. And I could find out who these people were and will I feel comfortable with them. I will cut to the chase here, I know your fears and concerns. When I met Dr. Stein he said that I probably had never been seen by a real Physician before. Dr. Stein examined me from head to toe. ( a female patient advocate was present, alert taking notes and very reassuring) during the exam. Dr. Stein found a couple of things i.e., a vaginal infection as well as a rectal polyp that had been passed off as a hemeroid by my regular MD just a short time earlier. Dr. Stein immediately phoned a world renowned physician to check my polyp which by the grace of our Lord was benign. Dr. Stein checked my hormone levels and found them to be nearly diminished (I had been checked by my regular MD and told that everything was normal). I felt like hell and could not imagine how I could have any quality of life and my future looked limited and bleak. That was about 2 months ago. I had an orgasm for the first time in 3 and years this week and I am elated to say the lest. A few days after I started my therapy I started to notice a new and invited sense of well being. Shortly there after, I started to feel that old forgotten sense of arousal.. Dr. Stein also found that I needed a calcium supplement as well as a vitamins E, D and a magnesium supp. ( my regular MD said I needed nothing on that recent exam) !!! All I can say at is thank God for Dr. Stein and I will never see my regular MD again, XMD that is. Friends and family are telling me that I look different what did you do? they mentioned that my cheeks are rosy and I look happy. Dr. Stein tells me that I am going to feel even better soon, (to feel good and to look good) what a blessing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I am walking around with a smile on my face, a renewed interest in life and I feel like I have on a new pair of shoes that are made out of marshmallows.

Dr. Dan Stein:
In February of this year, I caught Nancy Alexander's interview with you. The next day I called for an appointment and walked through your office door on March 1st. My life has not been the same.
My husband has called you a magician more than once. He doesn't know the half of it!!! From the first interview, through the most thorough examination I have ever had, you and your staff have made a major difference. The treatment program you have put together for me has given me back my enthusiasm, my joie de vivre--my LIFE. I can't thank you and your fine staff enough.
Sincerely,
J.H.C.
Dear Dr. Stein:
Just a note to inform you how pleased we are that we came to you. We found you and your staff to be friendly, informative, and professional in every area. My husband says that I am new woman. I have found that I am less stressful and my emotions are no longer overwhelming me. I am more restful after a nights sleep. My sex life and desire for sex have both increased. Why I even initiate sex, which is both a surprise and
delight to my husband.
Our love, marriage and friendship has been renewed after years of struggle. I only wish I had known about and come to you sooner. Without any hesitation or reservation, my husband and I would encourage others to come to you.
Sincerely,
C.H.
Dear Dr. Stein:
I first came to see you just a short while ago. You and your staff were most professional and thorough. Your treatment worked liked a charm. It's beautiful. My sex drive and performance are fantastic!
My wife is satisfied and happy and that makes me feel great, too!
Thanks for all your help.

Dear Dr. Stein:
I would like to take a few moments to extend my gratitude for your knowledge, education and skills in the field of sexual dysfunction. This seems to be such a taboo type of subject for people to discuss with others, but being informed can make a change in the old traditions of fear and complacency.
It has been possible, for the last couple of years, for men to get help with their problems from impotence, but where did the women go? It had been a very frustrating three years having been married to one of the most wonderful and sexy women you have ever met, and not be able to have the intimacy you once felt when you were first married.
I kept wondering what is wrong. I doubted my wife, I doubted myself as a man. I would guess that I blamed everybody and everything in my life for my love life not being better. The problem was that we did not have a clue what was wrong. My wife simply did not have any interest in sex. This was not the sexy woman I married, and the frustration was creeping into our relationship. Where could we go to get help? We felt everything was hopeless.
As I am sure you know, that is not the case. We were very fortunate that my wife heard about your clinic and the next thing I knew, we were going through testing to find out what was wrong.
Within weeks, you had completed all the test necessary to determine what my wife was experiencing. You informed both of us that the majority of women in this country have sexual dysfunction without any idea that they have it, or how to cure it. Well, I can honestly say that you were informative and straight forward, with both of us, about treatments that would resolve our problems. Thanks to you and the treatments, I have the sexiest woman in the world and she is her old self again.
If everyone would approach this with an open mind and realize that women, just as men have sexual dysfunction and like men, women can now be treated thanks to your clinic, we could all have a better relationship with our wives.
Sincerely,
R.S.
Dear Dr. Stein:
You probably saved my marraige. I am 44 years old and have always had a strong sexual appetite. I consider myself sensual; my husband considers me downright sexy. That is, until a couple of years ago. My sexuality began to slowly decline, and eventually I lost my sexual desire almost completely. On a scale of 1 to 10, my libido was a 1.
I am healthy, work out, and love my husband very much. At the first signs of a diminishing sex drive, I made an appointment with my primary physician. He concluded that I was suffering from depression, and prescribed paxil. He told me very pointedly that my sexual problems were to be expected at my age, that he hears similar stories everyday. Basically, that it was "all in my head."
After seeing a psychiatrist, a marriage counselor, and several medications later, my libido still did not return. I thought I would never be the same again. And then it happened. I saw several ads in our local newspaper. Low sex drive? Lost that loving feeling? No libido? I called immediately and made an appointment A few weeks after my initial consultation, I went to bed with no libido and the next day when I woke up the person I used to be was looking back at me in the mirror. My libido was back! I felt sensual for the first time in a very long time. Our sex life has been wonderful, and I have had a general sense of well-being. My arousal is heightened, and my orgasms are intense. My husband and I are both reaping the benefits of my treatment. My passion and desire have returned in full force. We would both like to thank you for restoring our healthy, happy, frequent sex life. Your insight and knowledge is greatly appreciated. For the first time, in a very long time, I feel whole again.
Sincerely,
B.S.
P.S. Dr. Lutzo - You helped my husband and I see matters more clearly so we could focus on the real issues.
Dear Dr. Stein and The Foundation Staff:
I am 35 years old and have three children. When I first saw you I had no interest in sex. My libido and arousal response were 0. I was on the anti-depressant, Wellbutrin, for over one year. We were having sex once a month or less.
After being evaluated by Dr. Lutzo and you, treatment was started that has altogether changed my life,
Within two months I can say that I am doing great. My libido has jumped. My orgasms are stronger and stronger, and easier and more reliable. I feel cuddly and flirty much of the time (before I wouldn't even cuddle). I am having more sexual thoughts, and making love more often. My relationship is much more relaxed and joyful. I find my husband irresistible and now even initiate sex when before I didn't even want to go there.
I am so happy and feel so emotionally secure and loved that I even tapered myself off Wellbutrin antidepressants -- and I still feel great.
Your evaluations were on target and your treatments exceeded my expectations.
Thank you for bringing joy and love into my life.
Sincerely,
A.B.
