Testimonial

Diseases in the world only simply divided into two categories: infection and non-infection. So in the ancient, Chinese medical doctors never divided their carriers become different department instantly Chinese medicine see the patient as a holistic, one system problem could affect another. Therefore, Chinese medicine in the one hand to prevent and treat infection caused diseases and on the other hand to save and reverse damaged and disjoined organs, tissues and cells which essential treatment is NOT completely same with western medicine. For instance, for treating hypothyroidism, western medical doctor would give hormone replacement of thyroxin; hyperthyroidism, burned the thyroid tissue out, made a hypo condition then give the replacement therapy, but other organs were involved in, the problem were not due to the doctor but other department; diabetes, of course, insulin…  But Chinese medicine is NOT a replacement therapy, it through an natural way to repair the tissues and organs that will be or already be damaged by certain reason, but is NOT giving patient some thing that mimic its function.

So to enhance quality of human life with Chinese medicine is passable! The essential of Chinese medical theory is “the diagnosis and treatment based on over all analysis of symptoms to sign, the causes, nature and location of the illness and the patient’s physical condition according to the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine.” Chinese medical treatment is based on doctors through their eyes, ears and fingers to see hear and feel patient’s symptoms and signs to pursue the internal pathologic change of the illness. Therefore, we could understand that, Chinese medicine is NOT a placement therapy but reverse or solve the “ROOT of the PROBLEM,” that always Chinese medical practitioners said that.

The treatment, they always target on the pathology of the illness but not symptoms only. That is why Chinese medicine treats diseases is not immediately see the results, especially treats chronic diseases. The reason is, those damaged tissues and cells have to take time to recover and reverse!  The integrative medicine practices are the best combination in the world for the treatment of diseases.

However, the knotty illness could be treated and prevented, that depends on our knowledge is enough or not, but Chinese medical methods exist in the world for thousand years with rich experience and knowledge. Here are some patients had successfully treated with Chinese medicine in All Natural Medicine Clinic.

Asthma

My asthma which I had for 56 years was healed by Chinese medicine

I had been diagnosed with asthma and allergy for over 56 years when I was 4 year-old. When I have asthma attack I had to go to emergence room, and even in the remission phase I had to use inhaler. I never stopped my medication until I found the clinic in Rockville.

I had received the treatment of acupuncture two sessions per week and herbal medicine daily for about 4 months, at the time I had no more breathing problems, then reduced the acupuncture treatment to once a week until stop all my medications. I have no asthma attack at all since I have received acupuncture treatment nor allergy symptoms neither.

I am now totally free from any kind medication; I am so enjoy the fresh air that belongs to me in natural. I am healed from asthma and allergies. But when I have cold or allergy symptoms I just drink a few days of herbal tea which never trigger my asthma again.

Allergies:

            My allergies and diabetes were gone at the same time

I had very severe allergies in the four seasons: nose running, sneezing, headaches, and my nose were always red, no any medication could help me. I had taken different medications for years but no one helps me to stop the problems, and the conditions got worse year by year. At the same time I had been diagnosed with diabetes (it runs in my family).  I feared to take more medications that might make me more problems (side effects). I was referred to All Natural Medicine Clinic in Maryland. Here Dr. Hou prescribed herbal medicine and performed acupuncture for me. Since then, amazing things happened: my blood sugar was up-down at beginning, and then went to normal; my allergy symptoms did the same way with diabetes, better-worse then those symptoms reduced and went away finally.

It is really amazing, my doctor wrote a notification for me and my boss “glucose is staying in normal range, she has no evidence to diagnose with diabetes at the moment”, and I don’t need to take antihistamine and any medication for the conditions.

Pulmonary hypertension overlaps Lupus:

Chinese Medicine Saves My Life

Not until November 1996, I thought I was on top of the world! I was attending college and everything in my life was heading in the right the direction. But all of a sudden, the good feeling's shattered. Never had I felt so weak and helpless. At first, I noticed symptoms associated with my Raynaud (a syndrome which includes restriction of blood flow, particularly noticeable in the fingers), then I began losing skin pigmentation (patches of color). As my illness progressed, I became very susceptible to colds and flu. I became a frequent visitor of the local ER. Each time, though, the doctors there would tell me that I merely had the flu and that the virus would soon run its course. By November 1996, my condition had deteriorated and due to breathing difficulties, I was not even able to walk on level ground. I ended up in the school's health clinic. A nurse detected irregularities in my heartbeat. With her advice I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. After being hospitalized for almost three weeks and underwent a series of tests, I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension plus a mixed connective tissue disease (an auto–immune disease). In addition, I was told that my conditions were chronic and that there were no known cures for this disease. The doctors informed me that the best I could hope for would be treatment of the associated symptoms. My immediate need, however, was to address the pulmonary hypertension. The most effective treatment for pulmonary hypertension—at that time—was Flolan, a medicine administered by continuous infusion through a permanent central line catheter (surgically implanted through my chest directly into a blood vessel leading to my heart). This treatment was both inconvenient (I had to carry a medicine pump around 24–7.) and invasive to my skin, causing frequent skin irritations and left me susceptible to potentially deadly infections via the catheter. On top of everything, all those inconveniences were only to ease the symptoms, not a cure for the root cause of the disease itself. During the time of my treatment, Flolan was only administered—on a limited basis—through clinical studies. People who began taking Flolan were expected to remain dependent on the medicine for the rest of their lives. Despite those expectations, I was determined to find a cure for my disease and release my dependency on Flolan. With the help of my family, I researched and discovered a cure for my disease that uses eastern medicine. My family, friends, and relatives searched all over the world, including major cities in China, and Chinese medical practitioners in New York, and Washington D.C. for the most qualified doctor of eastern medicine. Most of those doctors did not have any knowledge of my disease, let alone any concept of possible cures. Just as my hopes were beginning to fade, God sent me Dr. Hou from All Natural Medicine Clinic in Rockville, Md. Dr. Hou is a physician who is well–versed in both eastern and western medicine. The first time I visited Dr. Hou, I brought my lab results. I did not tell her the diagnosis that the other doctors had given me; but she was able to independently diagnose me after studying my lab results. Most importantly, Dr. Hou explained how she could help me. After our first visit with Dr. Hou, my family and I knew that we had found the right doctor. However, one of the conflicts that I faced was this: one of the conditions in entering the Flolan clinical trials was that patient could not accept herbal medicine or acupuncture treatment at any point during the study. Despite my desire to start treatment immediately, I was unable to accept Dr. Hou's help. Because herbal medicine treatments work slowly for chronic diseases, Dr. Hou recommended that I continue with the Flolan study to treat my pulmonary hypertension and wait for my condition to stabilize. Even after the Flolan clinical studies ended, I continued to rely on Flolan. However, now I was pairing the western medicine treatment, Flolan, with Dr. Hou's eastern medicine treatment, herbal medicine and acupuncture. Dr. Hou's first treatment required me to drink herbal medicines and eventually included acupuncture. I took the medicine twice a day and received acupuncture treatments every other week. My herbal medicine prescriptions depended upon the symptoms I experienced that week in addition to the results of my most recent lab tests. As time progressed, I noticed my health condition improving. I began to feel much healthier and much more energetic. Moreover, the positive lab results that I received after beginning Dr. Hou's treatment proved that I was not just imagining my better health. Dr. Hou explained her treatment plans for me each time I visited her clinic. During the last five years, she has not only treated me for my Raynaud and pulmonary hypertension, but has also treated many other symptoms, such as dry skin, dry skin bumps and rashes, pain at my joints, loss of skin pigmentation, and the constant–occurring flus! During the time that I have been treated by Dr. Hou, she has collaborated extensively with my western doctors to keep track of all my treatment plans, and also has kept my western doctors well informed of her treatment plans for me. Dr. Hou's experience with western medicine has allowed her to help me reduce, and in some cases, eliminate any side effects of my western medicines. After two years of treatment under Dr Hou, combining both western and eastern medicines, my pulmonary specialist advised me that my health had improved so much that I was strong enough to be weaned from Flolan! At the time that this recommendation was given, Flolan had not yet been approved as a treatment for secondary pulmonary hypertension by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). I was advised that if I decided to discontinue the Flolan—and for any reason needed to restart it—I might not be able to obtain Flolan again. In addition, I was told that there are very few people in the world who have been able to permanently stop needing Flolan medication. We waited for a while till Flolan was approved by the FDA [for secondary PH], then my pulmonary specialist and I agreed to discontinue the Flolan by slowly tapering down my dosages until I was completely off the medication. During my weaning period, my catheter site developed an infection, so I was monitored closely by the Johns Hopkins Hospital physicians. I was also told that I am the first patient to ever be completely removed from Flolan medication at the Johns Hopkins Hospital! I have been off Flolan for several months now and my lung pressure at rest is still normal. My health has made tremendous—previously unimaginable—progresses since starting my eastern medicine treatments with Dr. Hou. Although I have yet to be cured of my Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, my symptoms have been dramatically reduced. I continue to improve and believe in the effectiveness of eastern medicine as I receive treatments from Dr. Hou every week. I recognize that the improvement of my health is the result of both eastern and western medicine and I appreciate all of the treatment and the care that I received from all of my doctors. Dr. Frederick Wigley, Rheumatologist and Dr. Sean Gaine, Pulmonary Specialist from Johns Hopkins Hospital and Dr. Victor Tapson, Pulmonary Specialist from Duke University Medical Center have all provided their expertise and helped me tremendously throughout my treatment. I am sure they will continue to help many patients like me in the future. If anyone of you who read this story and want to try herbal medicine as part of your treatment or just want to talk someone who experienced PH, feel free to contact me.

Emphysema

Who can help my Asthma, Bronchitis, Emphysema combined with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?

My name is W.W. is a 55 year-old female. I am so lucky just able to jump out from transplant table, but my friend wasn’t, she was dying after transplant of lung 4 year later of surgery.

I had measles when I was 3. Since then, I had asthma and allergy all the time around the four seasons which was better when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, the asthma and allergies came back in last near 20 years and it got worse and worse with cough, heavy phlegm with yellow or green color, thick mucus difficult to spit out and difficult breath with wheezing. In recent years, the pain develops to all my small joints, fingers, neck, toes…I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Due to my lungs’ saturation, traditional medical practitioner has a final decision: went to waiting list for the lung transplant. For getting the purpose, my pulmonary doctor sent me to the Lung transplant center in NC (I live in Maryland) and before the lung transplant surgery I was sent to Virginia for the training of preparing it. I thought should I be my friend?

At the critical time, I met All Natural Medicine Clinic where I got the treatment of acupuncture once a week and herbal medicine five days per week. My condition was gradually getting better except when I got cold which would aggregate my symptoms. My phlegm was from dark green, yellow color changed to white clear, from heavy phlegm to lighter, difficult breathing to easier. My tongue and lips’ color was from purple to red. At lease my doctor doesn’t suggest me to do lung transplant based on my condition.  My condition is getting better and better… of course, I have to continue the Chinese medical treatment to reverse my disease.

I have used Chinese medical treatment for over one and half years, my illness is getting better and better, if it compares the lungs’ transplant, I am rather choose Chinese medical therapy which has not so much suffering and more important thing is less aggressive and risky!

GERD

I am free to eat my loved foods without any medication

I had stomach reflux symptom for over 20 years, the symptom never stops even under using anti-acid medicines during the past years. No matter what kind of medication I used and which specialist I saw, but nothing helped me to completely reduce my chronic, persistent stomach reflux and chest discomfort symptoms. I had no choice, stepped to the clinic in Rockville, I given Dr. Hou one year limited time to heal my illness.

Dr, Hou explained how Chinese medicine works for it and where is the differentiation between Chinese medicine and western medicine on its mechanism and terminologies. I realized that I choose Chinese medicine as my healing tools was one hundred percent correct, I believed that ancient medicine could be the only way to help me. Because the doctors who work here familiarizing both Chinese and western medical theories very well.  

My treatment plain was consisted of acupuncture once a week and herbal medicines five days per week, my symptom was getting better gradually since had the treatment. I was sent to GI doctor, he looked at my stomach through gastroscope:  “I tell you a good news, your stomach is much better, you are able to reduce your medication now.”  Such I started to reduce my medications gradually until to zero. I went back to check again, the gastroscope showed that my GERD was healed!   

So I had Chinese medical treatment and western medical monitor. Finally I cut off all my medications, including western and Chinese ones. I was healed in less then one year that I expected. Now, eight years past, my stomach is still well, I don’t have to take any medication for caring my stomach; I could eat everything what I want!  I am healed from GERD!

Insomnia

I had stress for work and was divorced with custody of two kids. Insomnia becomes my closest friend, but I was very afraid to take the sleep pills, because of worry about the side effects and addiction. I knew the insomnia would affect my healthy condition even my immunity. Also I had stomach reflux and been diagnosed with breast cancer years ago (post breast cancer surgery), quality sleep is so important for me. I was hoping I could have a natural sleep!

I went to the clinic asking help. After sessions of the acupuncture treatment my stomach reflux was better and I could sleep well at night. Now I know acupuncture is very effective for my insomnia and my nervous system. I just call for the treatment when I had insomnia.
