Case Studies

Hypertension: A 35-year-old Chinese lady had taken medicine for 2 year for high blood pressure (170/110mmHg). Additionally, she was plagued with headaches and could not sleep. She had a rapid, string-taut pulse, a red tongue without coating. Diagnosis: Hypertension, liver Yang excess. After taking an herb blend for 7 days, her headaches stopped, her sleep improved and her blood pressure was 160/100 - 130/80. After 4 weeks of the herbal tea remedy her blood pressure dropped to 150/90 - 130/80.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A 32-year-old Caucasian man had severe stomach pain for over a 1 year. He had been diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome and had taken medicine for over a year. I used Qi Gong acupresssure and after 10 minutes he got some pain relief and after 20 minutes it completely disappeared. He called the next day to say he had been pain free that afternoon and the whole night without taking medication.

Chronic Skin Ulcer: A 56-year-old Caucasian man had decubitus ulcer for 2 years on his right greater trochanter and left ankle. Additionally he had right arm and elbow pain due to a pedestrian/car accident and difficulty sleeping. I used Electro-acupuncture for his arm pain and prescribed an herbal mixture that allowed him to sleep better and also aid in wound healing. His arm pain diminished, his wounds were about 60% healed after 6 weeks of treatment.

  1. A 50 y/o Asian lady came with an x-ray film that showed her with 3 stones in her right kidney and 2 in her left kidney. I mixed an herb tea, which she took for 5 days. She noticed blood in her urine on the 6th day. A 2nd film was taken on that day, it showed that the 3 stones in the right have moved to ureter.

C.S.R. A 48 Chinese man with poor vision 0.5(20/40) in his left eye, was diagnosed with Central Serous Retinopathy. Since there was no improvement after 2 weeks of aggressive treatment in an Ophthalmology department he started herbal medicine soup I mixed for him. He felt better the next day, 3 days later his vision to 0.7( about 20/30)3 and was 1.0(20/20) 3 weeks later.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A 25-year-old Hispanic drummer, had been with wrists pain for a month. The wrist were very tender even with very little applied pressure. He was diagnosed with carpal tunnel. Immediate relief was obtained by acupuncture and external herb application. One week later, after the second treatment his pain mostly disappeared. After his two weeks follow, the pain was no longer a problem.
