"I was near death in 2017. The blood test results were in the gutter. Dr. Conicello took my case very seriously. He had me come in weekly for hyperbaric and other treatments. Dr Conicello gave me the assurance I needed to hear each week plus he gave me sound advice and lots in encouragement. His wife also works at Agape. She was a very helpful and a positive source of my healing. Today my blood test was perfect. I am very very grateful to them and the team at Agape for my healing!!! They do amazing work and credit God as their source!!!!"

"I had wonderful experience with Dr. Conicello and all staff. I am trying to understand negative review of paying money for a doctor, which makes no sense to me. Dr. Conicello goes to the UTMOST in his care and earns every penny! He worked with my doctor's when I moved out of the country! And I still continue with him as I have seen such great results. I have hashimotos, celiacs, leaky gut, parasites, yeast, just to see the top of the mountain of issue I have and all of it has been tremendously helped if not total gone under the care at AGape! Praise God"

"I have known Dr. Conicello for many years and know him as the most dedicated health care professional I have ever met. He is always attending seminars and studying the latest developments in holistic healthcare. We speak often and he regularly shares what he is studying and the incredible results with his patients. I stand by what I have been saying for many years now that if I ever received a serious diagnosis I would go to him and trust his care. I do not feel that way about any other doctor or hospital. I know if there is a chance to get well it is with him."

"A Happy, Healthy 2020 it will be! As I reflect back on 2019, it was the most important year for me regarding my health. I have two autoimmune diseases, thyroid (Hashimotos diagnosed in 1981) and Type II Diabetes (diagnosed in 2004). I have seen several endocrinologists over the years and taken the traditional oral medications for these diseases which were, at best, a band aid fix. Last spring things drastically changed when my body was no longer absorbing the medications I was taking for those diseases. I was frightened and felt horrible and knew that my doctor was going to change my diabetes meds or add additional ones. That is when I decided I definitely did not want to do that. I knew I had to go down a different path if I was going to be able to make an attempt to get healthy and to get off of my prescribed medications with the ultimate goal being to reverse my diabetes. I had learned about The Agape Institute of Functional Medicine from a great medical professional friend/mentor, personal trainer, who I have total faith in (you know who you are). I began to see Dr. Conicello last June, did the initial testing, very extensive blood work and food sensitivity test. I was thrilled to hear the good news from the Doctor that my pancreas was actually working. The Doctor was able to get to the root cause of what was feeding my autoimmune diseases and after beginning the personal plan Dr. Conicello put into place for me, my blood sugar and thyroid numbers changed for the better in 3 months. His knowledge of how the very complicated body works is amazing and I have learned so much from him over the last six months. Currently, I am no longer taking high blood pressure medicine, have been able to cut back on diabetes medications and I’m continuing to work towards discontinuing diabetes meds all together, which will take some time. I truly believe that Type II Diabetes can be reversed and that is my ultimate goal! My thyroid was removed in 2009 so the Doctor and I will be working to see if I’ll be able to stop the Synthroid medicine eventually and just take a supplement. I feel great, have lost 23 lbs since July and have so much energy. I’m so blessed and thankful that I decided to go to Agape, as I’m not sure where I’d be today if I had not taken that initial step. Dr. Conicello, his wife Michelle, and the entire Agape team are so caring and truly want to help their patients become healthy and live their best life possible. You must be your own health advocate. Pay attention to your body and what signs it is giving you that something may be wrong. It’s a new year, so if you are feeling that your body is not functioning properly, do yourself a big favor and go see Dr. Conicello for some initial tests and a consultation. If you do not have your health, you have absolutely nothing! Bring on 2020, the year I reverse my Type II Diabetes. Thanks a billion Dr. Conicello and your wonderful Agape staff!!"

"I have just completed my one year treatment for breast cancer--chemo, surgery, radiation, an infusion drug every three weeks for the entire year, and now an estrogen blocker drug for 5 years, with its side effects. On top of that I was not able to teach for the year and I endured many, many tests and painful side effects from all the treatments. The shocking part of my story is that the 2 thermal scans I had done at Agape Institute showed NO cancer at all. Dr. Conicello promoted the use of thermography in detecting the precursors of cancer. He stated that thermal scans can detect cancer 8-10 before a mammogram. Well, my scans did not detect cancer in advance, nor did it detect it when I had already been diagnosed Stage 2! I have such regret that I followed Dr. Conicello's recommendation of not needing a mammogram--even though I had gotten one for the past 15 years. I wish I had done my own research first; I would have learned that thermography should not be used as a substitute for mammography. Even after my diagnosis Dr. Conicello continued to promote this tool. In fact, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month he even advertised a workshop he held called "Thermography Over Mammography." I don't understand, ethically or morally, how he could continue to offer this service when clearly there are false negatives happening. I even brought this to his attention when I researched, after my tragic fact, that Dr. Gregory Melvin, the chiropractor in CA who prepares Dr. Conicello's thermography reports, has numerous negative reviews and stories from women, just like me, who had clear scans but indeed had breast cancer. Another patient of Dr. Conicello's contacted me recently because she was just diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer--even though her scans were negative. A friend of hers had told her about the Ch. 6 News Investigation of Dr. Conicello and this patient reached out to me to share her tragic story. I am outraged that Dr. Conicello continues to offer this service when clearly it is not a reliable tool for detecting cancer. Very scary! Finally, I should have done my research of Dr. Conicello's credentials. It turns out that a Doctor of Pastoral Medicine and a Doctor of Functional Medicine are not even degrees or licences held in Pennsylvania. The letters after his name stand for chiropractor and EMT. Yet, Dr. Conicello does not practice as a chiropractor. He does not give adjustments or even have an adjustment table; he sent me downstairs to the upper cervical chiropractors for that treatment. I'm curious to know why Dr. Conicello always wears a stethoscope in his PR photos? He never checked my heart or other vital signs. I'm guessing he looks more credible to dress as a medical doctor. I certainly was fooled...unfortunately. My health and finances paid the ultimate price!"
