"I have met Karol on a trip to Phuket, Thailand as a personal trainer for martial arts and physical therapist. We have had numerous discussions regarding the neurological-scientific basis of pain and pain relief, in which he has shown exceptional intellectual capabilities. His character is pristine and he has shown to be a tireless worker helping people to think about and ultimately change their lives to the better. As my therapist he instructed me how to significantly improve a chronic sacroiliac joint pain syndrome with truly dramatic success. I can recommend consulting him with complete conviction!"
