MMc, 46 year-old female nurse Treatment: 25 days, C+8A+8M+4H -£605 A & E nurse who suffered physical pain when required to lift or move heavy objects in hospital. She was highly stressed and suffered a number of health issues including chronic fatigue (energy level 1-2/10), lower back pain (pain level 8/10), sciatica, dizziness, poor memory, and sexual dysfunction. Her hair was falling out in chunks, and there had been ringing in her ears for 14-15 years. We cured her of tinnitus without even trying! Transcript of patient's hand-written testimonial 46 Years-old nurse suffering a number of health issues such as lower back pain, low energy, ringing in the left ear, low sex drive, hair loss, sciatica, dizziness, taking long time to get to sleep and waking up tired. The loss of hair was quite scary, thought I was going bald. Skin was dry and memory was bad (quite forgetful) and feeling thirsty. After a course of treatment – acupuncture and deep massage and herbal medicine; I now have more energy rising from low (1-2/10) to medium/high (78/10). Back pain is much improved – no pain on most days. No longer hearing ringing in left ear. Hair loss less and hair feeling stronger. No longer falling out as much. No more dizziness, getting to sleep not taking so long and not waking up tired. Skin is much improved and not feeling so thirsty now. No sciatica pain. As a nurse I have to wash my hands so much they get dry. I did not cream my hands today and my skin feels very supple. MM, 22 June 2010 _________________________________ Observations: The patient suffered tinnitus for about 15 years and the condition deteriorated three months prior to her coming to our clinic. She had been under a lot of stress about 2 years ago. Around the same time she suffered sleep deprivation, chronic fatigue (energy level 1-2/10), lower back pain (“LBP”), and sciatica. In the last year new symptoms developed, including dizziness, hair loss, poor memory, and dry skin. She was feeling thirsty and had low libido. She started treatment on 28th May 2010. Her stress level was 7-8/10, LBP and sciatica pain levels both 8/10. She reported on 22nd June, after 8 sessions of acupuncture and massage, that the LBP had reduced to 1/10, with no pain at all on some days. She had been sleeping well falling asleep easily (she used to take a long time to fall asleep) and could sleep up to 8-9 hours, waking up ” willing to get up to do things”. Her energy level was 7-8/10. Her hair was much stronger, hardly falling out (she had feared that she was going bald). Bowel movement was good, once a day; she was feeling less thirsty, and her skin was soft despite frequent washing at work. She had no dizziness in the previous 3-4 weeks, sciatica had ceased after the 3rd treatment, and her stress level had reduced to 2/10. Her memory and libido had not improved. Comments: Patient made steady progress since treatment started on 28 May 2010 The patient made gradual progress. After one session she slept better and felt less tired - she used to feel very tired. Her eyes that used to be burning and tired were no more. On 2 June her energy had risen to 3-4/10 and the LBP declined to 5/10. On 4 June they were 4-5/10 and 3/10 respectively. She continued to sleep well and her energy continued to climb while LBP declined. On 4 June, the patient reported that her dizziness was only slight. On 14 June, her hair was not falling so much. On 16 June, skin not so dry; and on 22 June when she wrote her testimonial, her tinnitus, after 14-15 years, had ceased. No record of changes in tinnitus We did not record the changes in tinnitus in part because we did not treat that condition specifically and in part because it was not an issue that the patient was concerned about. She had gotten so used to living with tinnitus and all her other health problems that she was concerned mainly with the LBP and sciatica since they prevented her from working, and her hair. In truth we did not treat her hair or most of the other symptoms either. What we did in the main was to detox, improve circulation, energy flow, and her bowel movement. We release her tension, relax her body and mind, and helped restore her sleep function to enable her to rejuvenate and heal herself. Tinnitus, lower back pain, stress, tiredness and hair that healed themselves There is no effective cure for tinnitus, as indeed there is no effective cure for LBP, or dizziness, or headache, or night urination, or hair loss, or dryness, or poor memory or concentration, or low libido or stress or tiredness, for they are all symptoms of a weak and dysfunctional body. We revitalised this patient’s body and it was her revived powers of rejuvenation and healing that cured her. Appearance of symptoms indicate that the body is weak and dysfunctional The patient's body was weakened as the result of stress that she encountered about 2 years ago. That explains why the symptoms appeared in batches. As her body continued to weaken other symptoms developed and the old symptoms deteriorated. When her body strengthened the symptoms receded. Now that her body is rejuvenated, most of the symptoms disappear. The symptoms will return if her body becomes weak and dysfunctional again. This explains why these symptoms come and go, get worse mostly but sometimes disappear, all for no apparent reason. Treatments that do not address the cause waste money and expose the patient to risk of developing more serious health problems To treat any of these symptoms of weakness and dysfunction in isolation is a waste of time and money. The real danger is that, by not addressing the cause, the body is left to continue its decline to allow more serious health conditions to develop to cripple an individual's life - see the case of JW. __________________________________ 28.05.10 – Dr Huang 1.
