I just heard today of Dr. Paul´s passing.......how sad to lose my "holistic rock". I had been in some form of chiropractic care since the mid 80´s, but as competent as these practitioners were, working with Dr. Paul was always special and he solved some real mysteries for me. He quickly became my go-to guy, as I followed him from Prince Avenue all the way to Arnoldsville. As I was always a person who used/abused his body to the max, I was a perfect patient for him as he helped me solve riddle after riddle that would befuddle even the most competent chiropractor. Sometimes I would go "just because" I loved his dog(s) and his company. I am especially sad to lose him as I am coming off a year of many surgeries followed by the loss of my wife......a visit with Dr. Paul in Arnoldsville would have done me good. He´ll be one of the first that I will look forward to greeting "on the other side"..........RIP Dr. Paul.

Dr. Paul was the absolute best healer. He was wonderfully honest and straight to the point. He was most definitely one of a kind! I started treating with him in 2009 and since that first meeting, I relied on him for a variety of matters concerning health and well being; he was SOOO smart and SOOO intuitive. I loved chatting with him and miss him terribly. Rest in peace D.P.

I have lost the finest healer I ever met, and a man who in the course of our treatments became a true friend. I hope Mable finds a good home; if not, I'm happy to take her myself. Whoever next occupies his beautiful house and gets his beehives will be truly blessed, as I was blessed to be his patient. He is truly missed and leaves a big hole in the lives of us who benefitted so much from his wisdom and methods. See you on the other side, brother!

If I had had the opportunity to say "goodbye Doc", he would have given me that smile and said "you mean see you later."

I was a patient of Dr. Paul's for nearly a decade. There were times when I crawled onto the table barely able to stand. The healing he imparted was remarkable. And aside from his healing powers Paul was a wonderful, no-nonsense man, kind and dedicated to his patient's well-being. A lover of fine art, literature, music and animals. I will miss our conversations. I will miss Paul.

Paul Wickster: he could move skull bones, he could move noses, he could move necks, he could move pituitary glands, adrenal glands, he could move jaws, he could move teeth. All without surgeries. My family regrets not finding him sooner.
He once chatted with me about how he used to teach his students on body movement with expanding the air balloon using the warmth of their hands. When he told me that, I thought, that´s how he could do myofascial therapy AND nose job all without surgery. All with just his bare hands.

I desperately needed him to live but being so geographically distant from his children, I could see his oxytocins are more abundant for him in heaven than on this earth. I wish I could replicate him. His techniques. His heart. And his soul.

The first time I saw Paul Wickster I arrived at his office, using a walker, driven there by a friend. When I left, I was walking unaided- no walker, pain gone. I´ve never met another healer like Paul Wickster. There are many who call themselves doctors, but healers are very rare and he had quite a gift. I still can´t believe he´s gone and I´m sorry that I never let him know what an incredible impact he had on my health and my quality of life. Whenever he worked on my pain, it was clear that he gave it his all. What an incredible person and what an incredible loss to all of us and I pray for healing for his family.

Dr Wickster was one of a kind. He was so sweet and knowledgeable and caring. I loved going to see him and chatting. He always remembered what was going on with me both physically and personally and I appreciate that so much. He will be truly missed and can never be replaced. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.

I met Paul while renovating a rental house I owned in Arnoldsville shortly after he moved there. Seeing him sitting on the porch I stopped to welcome him to Arnoldsville. He walked his dog daily and always stopped by to see the renovation progress. One day he noticed I walked bent over and kept my hand on my back. He said he could fix my problem and offered me a free session to prove it. Well, he touched me here and there and when I got off the bench amazingly he had done just that and I could walk with a straight back again. Needless to say, I was a monthly patient from then on and was looking forward to my Feb visit. We'll miss you Doc.

Dr Wickster was more than a doctor. He was a dear friend, confidant and guru. I found him at a low point in my life when all classic physicians had told me they did not know what was causing my auto immune issues. I remember my first appt with him and I sat on the couch and Madge crawled right up on my lap and I just hugged on her. He walked over and said, what are you two gossiping about so intently? Over the past 10 years (I'm 43), Dr Wickster not only guided me toward being a better and wiser person, he also was an incredible healer. Most classic physicians do not spend time nor effort to peel back the layers of physical ailments to include research on the emotional impact on why the body goes into dis-ease. But he did. I can still hear his voice telling me, "Diana you have too many plates spinning, slow your life down or they will all crash for you." When I was worried about my teen son after filing divorce, he spent time with him doing cranial sacral work and each time he would look at me and say, "he's going to be just fine. He's got a good head on his shoulders." His life story was also incredible and to know how and why he became a doctor is a testament to his craft. I am grieving and mourning the loss of my friend and a powerful healer. Dr Wickster, I love you and will miss you greatly. You were one of the best. Diana Best Jefferson, GA

Dr. Paul was the kindest most magical person. While many thought of him as a rough and tough guy, he really cared deep down. I met him years ago and we sparked up an honest, "agree to disagree" friendship. He was so happy when he and Madge moved to Arnoldsville. Know he did not suffer long as was not a person of modern medicine. While it is sad, he and Madge are happy in the clouds together. Sending hugs to all his children.

I met Paul 18 years ago when I was pregnant with my first son. Paul was the only one who could relieve my severe back pain I was experiencing. I continued to see Paul weekly for the last 18 years and he helped keep me out of pain. Paul also would treat my sons as they needed help and even worked on my son's ear so he would not need ear tubes.
I'll miss my weekly appointments and his snarky sense of humor and our witty banter we would exchange back and forth. His honey was always the highlight of the spring as my family anxiously awaited me bringing some home.
Knowing that Paul was there whenever I was in pain was an extreme comfort that I've missed these last few months that he was sick. I wish he let his patients know he was sick with more than just pneumonia so we could have been a source of help and comfort for him. Paul Wickster, definitely played by his own rules and I guess he left on his own terms too. He will sincerely be missed, and I hope he's up there playing with Madge right now.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of Dr. Wickster's passing! He was a wonderful healer and helped my husband greatly! During one visit with him, we learned that we were both from Oak Park, and ACTUALLY, his father delivered me when I was born. Then, I also learned I had gone to school with his twin sister at St. Patrick 's Academy in Chicago. What a small world. Our prayers for his family who are coming to grips with his loss! May he rest in peace and may God's perpetual light shine upon him. He will be missed!!

I loved coming to see Dr. Paul and Madge. She would always great me or let me sit on the couch with her. He was so brilliant in his care but so personable. We would talk about honey bees and venison. Laugh about small town politics. He brought so much relief to me. I pray you rest in peace my friend.

I´m heartbroken. Dr Wickster has been my Applied Kineisiologist for more years than I can remember. I saw him last a couple of months ago. I will always remember him fondly. He was the absolute best. My thoughts and prayers are with his sister, all of his other family members, and anyone who knew him and cared for him.
