RUSSELL BAUM,
D.O.M., L.AC.
Acupuncturist & Herbalist
Meet Doctor Baum
Dr. Russell Baum began his studies at the University of New Mexico as a pre-med student. Along the way he was introduced to alternative medicine and Asian medicine and graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1992.
He worked in Texas with a D.O. for a few years treating pain conditions of all kinds. In 1996 he returned to New Mexico and was licensed as a D.O.M. (doctor of Oriental medicine). During his 27 years of practice in New Mexico he began adding NAET and later BioSET to his practice to help patients with allergies and other immune problems. More recently, after 27 years of private practice in New Mexico, he relocated to Denver, Colorado.
He now practices traditional Chinese medicine alongside BioSET/NAET, KHT (Korean hand therapy), Bowen therapy, and CST (Craniosacral therapy), using a unique combination of applied kinesiology (muscle testing) and computerized electronic testing.
He specializes in digestive problems, hormone imbalances, pain, immune function, and allergies. Since the goal should not simply be to improve a patient’s symptoms Dr. Baum strongly believes that the root of most health problems comes from imbalances in the gut. Because of this, enzymes and proper diet are foundational to his approach. He feels strongly that the patient/practitioner bond is a sacred one and is passionate about helping people achieve balance in their health.
Dr. Baum currently practices in Scottsdale, Arizona and is licensed to practice in Colorado as well as nationally through the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine). When not helping his patients, he enjoys skiing, hiking with his dog, and playing flute and guitar.

Testimonials
Dr. Baum, Thank you so much for your support and engagement in my plight, your amazing expertise – both in BioSETand acupuncture, and your friendship! If I had encountered someone with your ability at acupuncture some years ago, I’d be in a much better place today. As to BioSET, well, a small miracle from my view! I know I’m going to look back on this experience and see you as one of the more defining people in my life.

When I lived in Santa Fe, Dr. Baum treated me with the NAET technique for asthma and after returning to Tennessee I have gone through the Spring season with all the blossoming plants without asthma thanks to Dr. Baum.

When I was first treated by Dr. Baum I had a “sweet tooth” that could kill and Dr. Baum nipped my “sweet tooth” in the bud through the NAET treatment technique. If not completely, at least a good portion of it and I don’t even feel those psychological cravings for diet soda anymore. I am more than impressed and grateful to Dr. Baum and I wish him the best of luck with his practice.

When I first started seeing Dr. Baum I was in excruciating pain daily. The arthritis pain wouldn’t let up. I was starting to have problems with walking and felt very old before my time. Dr. Baum assured me that NAET is the best form of treatment for arthritis. I’m happy to say that not only has the arthritis greatly improved but Dr. Baum has helped me, and my family overcome a lot of allergies that plagued us for many years. I am grateful for Dr. Baum’s patience, professionalism and thoroughness. I feel blessed that my family and I will be so much healthier at the conclusion of our treatments.

My allergies had gotten to the point where each day I could breathe less, couldn't sleep, and no antihistamine seemed to make any difference. When I heard about Dr. Baum and that he eliminated allergies, I was skeptical but when I went to see him about my juniper allergy, Dr. Baum knew immediately that I was also allergic to cats but not dogs. In three weeks, my allergy to juniper was gone and I could breathe again without any needles, scratches or drug treatment thanks to Dr. Baum. I am 72 years old, and I feel excellent.

I have been ill for roughly 4 years. For several years I tried to find a good balance between both Eastern and Western medical philosophies until I was referred to Dr. Baum. Within the first couple of treatments, I felt a difference. He found things that had been very elusive and layer after layer began to be un-covered and healed. I feel I am finally on the road to being well again. I highly recommend Dr. Baum to anyone who longs for the body and soul to be brought into harmony and reach their full, healthful potential.

I saw Dr. Baum for a series of BioSET sessions last summer and fall. My allergies cleared up soon afterward. I forgot about the sessions until recently when I received some great news from my doctor. I have had Hepatitis C for many years. This spring I received the results of my annual blood work, and to everyone's astonishment, my viral load was ''undetectable"! The only thing I have done differently in the past year is the BioSET treatments. I think they are the reason my health is so good. Isn't this amazing?
