My medical condition involved constant allergy attacks,
lower leg/ankle/foot edema weight gain, depression,
and tiredness for about 3 years. My treatments with
acupuncture began in the summer of 2001. The initial
treatments were consistent from 1 to 2 visits per week.

Relief of symptoms were noticeable within first few visits.
My allergy attacks were my primary focus. I was getting the
attacks at one point once a month and every other month.
The sinus infection would develop into a cold.

The acupuncture treatments corrected this problem right
away. After about 6 months, the symptoms started again
but with less severity. During my next set of treatments, I
focused on allergies and weight gain.

With the acupuncture treatments and herbs, I was able to
stop the swelling/weight gain and control my allergy
attacks. I was symptom free for about a year and a half,
when I stopped my treatments a second time. Recently,
my allergies have started again, but with even less severity.
With the treatments, they will be back under control.

My objective is for experiencing acupuncture treatments
was to improve my overall health and achieve better balance
in aiding my sleeping patterns.

Acupuncture treatments have enabled me to feel better in
regard to allergies/asthma and preventing subsequent
colds. In previous years, I normally would have allergies
that turn to long- standing colds during late
October-November due to the Santa Ana winds condition.

Acupuncture treatments has also enabled me to improve
my sleep by 33% to 40% on most nights. I would definitely
recommend acupuncture treatments to others who may
need help in improving their overall health condition.

P.S. sleeping consistently has been difficult over the latest
5-10 years. Previously, I would chew a melatonin tablet to
fall back to sleep. However, acupuncture has helped my
overall sleeping without having to resort to any types of
medication.

I came to Dr. Lee’s office after I stopped taking
medication for anxiety. I had been on the medication for
over a year and did not want to continue taking it for the
rest of my life. With the supervision of my regular doctor
therapist, I stopped and they recommended I try alternative
therapies so I did not fall back into my anxious state. The
first few weeks off medication were little hard, but as soon
as I started acupuncture I began to feel better.

Now after only several weeks coming to see Dr. Lee I feel
better than I have in a long time, even better than when I
was taking medication. I have noticed that even things that I
did not specifically notice or complain about have gone
away.

I definitely have a sense of total well being after having gone
through a few treatments.

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments and taking
the herbal teas for two months. When I started the
treatments it was for Bell's Palsy. But like the doctor says,
he treats the whole body. When I started treatment my
entire body ached, it was moans and groans to walk and go
up and down stairs. I couldn't do very much with my right
arm and hand as it was very painful more and more I would
use my left arm and hand.
Here it is two months later my Bell's Palsy is almost gone
and I can walk and climb stairs and use my right arm and
hand with very little pain, that I'm sure pretty soon I will have
no pain like before.

V.A. - Age 71
I'm 35 years old and work as a high production graphic
designer, a job which requires an excessive amount of time
on the computer. About 2 years ago I began to notice that
my right wrist was bothering me. It started with soreness,
then swelling. It got to a point where I couldn't open jars or
carry bags. It was even painful to brush my teeth. Finally
my hand was going numb at night.

I went to two different hand specialists who diagnosed me
with DeQuarvain's Tenosynovitis [Carpal Tunnel], a
painful inflammation of tendons in the wrist. They
recommended a series of physical therapy treatments,
cortizone injections, a splint, and regular icing. I followed
their advice, but unfortunately after 8 months my hand only
got worse. My doctor suggested surgery, so I began to
search for alternative methods of treatment. That is how I
came to find David Lee.

David treated me with acupuncture and herbs, and after just
a couple sessions, I noticed a reduction in swelling and
pain. I continued to see David regularly, and in a few
months I had regained 90% mobility in my wrist. Now I am
happy to say that I'm pain free and only visit David
occasionally for flair ups due to overuse. I am so thankful
that I was able to find an alternative to surgery and so
happy that I discovered David and his talent.

I'd like to thank David Lee for helping me through a very
painful year.
Thanks! You're the best!

Tatiana O.
I am appreciative of the results of only one treatment I
received. Since my personal allergic reactions and side
effects to most medicines I am now continuing acupuncture
treatments. The herbs are a God given result to my health.
May this be an encouragement to you.

Note: This patient had incessant cough for 2 weeks.
I was diagnosed with diabetes type II and high cholesterol
in March, 2004. My glucose level at one point was at 286.
After three types of medications, my glucose level went
down to between 156 and 136.

In October, I started natural plants treatment with great
success. My sugar level has gone down to 136 to 111
[without medications]. I had lots of tired and very hot feet.
My eyes were tired and watery. I used to urinate up to 3
times a night. I was very hungry. I had very little sleep and I
was in bad mood.

But thanks to God and to the plants that David gave me.
Today all my symptoms have
stopped.

Maria G.
I am 59 years old. I [have] been diagnosed with diabetes
for the past 2 months. I [have] been treated by David Lee for
the last month and a half for diabetes by taking herbs. I no
longer take medication for diabetes. I no longer use the
restroom as much at night or drink as much water. In a
week I will not be taking no more herbs.

I came to Dr. Lee to see if anything could be done about
my excessive sweating, particularly in the back of my
thighs. My treatment began the same day after
consultation. I immediately felt a comforting feeling after my
first acupuncture session. Throughout my treatment I have
seen a gradual noticeable improvement. I always feel
completely relaxed after each session. Each day I am
amazed at the progress I have made and am looking
forward to an improved state.
I had severe fluttering of my left eyelids. It impeded
reading, which my job requires. Even keeping my eyes
opened was annoying.
On the first day of treatment, the eye quavering relieved
immediately. The eyelid fluttering symptoms used to be 2-3
times a day, lasting for minutes at a time. They reduced to
2-3 times in that first week. After one month of treatment,
the discomfort in the eyelids completely vanished.
Chinese herbs also helped to improve my digestion and to
resolve chronic flatulence.

Ye Son P.
I have had headaches for at least 15 years. Most days I
would wake up with a headache and would go to sleep at
night with the same pain. I have been treated by David Lee
one or two times per week for the last six weeks, and my
headaches are gone.

Jennifer M.
I started feeling the pressure around my eyes and around
temples [few months ago]. First, I thought something was
wrong with my eyes. I bought an eye drop. I was taking
Tylenol every 4 hours (for almost solid 2 months!).
Someone thought that I had sinus infection. I was treated
with antibiotics at 2 separate times. My headache was still
there, some days I felt it as soon as I woke up.
The first day I experienced acupuncture treatment, I noticed
that I did not take Tylenol all day. (wow!). My headache
was almost gone by the 3rd treatment. I am also taking
herb powder mix given by Dr. Lee. I feel so much better now.


Yuka F.
I have had pain in my knee, upper back area and right
foot for at least 6 months and have tried may other
treatments before coming to David Lee’s office. In two
weeks I have had tremendous relief in all areas and can’t
believe how good these areas feel.
[After two months]I am continuing to see improvement in all
areas and even more areas are improving than I anticipated.
I have a better sense of well-being and much more energy
and I am so glad I found David!

Kathi S.
I suffer from arthritis. My joints ache in my shoulders,
knees, and hips flare up fairly regularly, and they used to
last for long periods, often not allowing me to swim,
participate in Tai Chi, or even hold my granddaughter.

As I started going to Dr. Lee for treatments, however, the
pain is not as severe and does not come as regularly as it
has in the past. Also, after I receive my treatments, it goes
away much more quickly without having to take strong
medications.

Additionally, I complained to my traditional doctors about
the fact that I had to wake up in the middle of the night to
use the restroom. It broke my sleep patterns and just
made me tired the rest of the day. I thought this was
something I had to live with, because I was getting older,
but I didn’t.

After several treatments with Dr. Lee, I have stopped having
to wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. It’
s amazing.

Female, age 62
For many years I have suffered from persistent pain in my
feet and lower legs, which did not respond to
conventional medical treatment. Also, as I grew older there
was an increase in the problems that often plague men over
55 and which reduce the quality of life.

On May 17, 2002 I had my first acupuncture treatment with
David Lee. To our suprise and delight the pains in my feet
and legs disappeared immediately, and have not returned.
As the same time there has been a noticeable improvement
in the overall quality of my life.

Altogether remarkable!

Lee G.
My name is Jesus and I like to give testimony about a
treatment for my health. I am 65 years old and for my age I
started to suffer enlargement of my prostate since seven
years ago. On 4/2/02 I felt very bad and went to the hospital
to help pass my urine. The same month 4/12/02 I started
treatment with herbs. I had a catheter on for 7 days at the
hospital before beginning treatment. To this day I have been
treated for 5 weeks and I can tell you my health is better
with his medicine and improved 90%. I write this testimony
to thank very much for his help.

Jesus G.
I had suffered from moderate to severe pain and stiffness
in my neck and lower back for some time. Looking for an
alternative to other pain management/control remedies I’ve
utilized before, and at the suggestion of colleagues who had
successfully used acupuncture for similar ailments, I
decided to see what acupuncture could do for me.

I was very pleasantly surprised with the results of my first
treatment as the pain relief was almost immediate. Not only
did each subsequent visit aid in further alleviating the ache
in my neck and back, it promoted a sense of well being and
reduction of stress.
I have been extremely satisfied with the results of these
treatments and give acupuncture a resounding endorsement.


Bob K.
I had hypothyroidism in 1991. By the time I began
treatment in 2000, my 2-3% of my thyroid was working and
there were multiple nodules. Happily, after three months of
treatment, I was given a sound bill of health. I no longer
needed any medications. 5 years later, my thyroid is still
working normally.

Susanna P.
One day, I felt extremely tired and the throat began to swell
up. Without fail at each evening, my body shivered from
cold and the throat was very sore.

The hospital check up revealed beginning of a thyroid
problem. I was advised to take aspirin if it became too
painful and since it was a beginning stage, the doctor
wanted to wait until the thyroid problem became severe. My
symptoms continued for another 3 weeks without sign of
relief.

As soon as Dr. Lee began treatment with acupuncture and
Chinese herbs, the chills and shivering had significantly
reduced. The sore throat was less. Thyroid inflammation
gradually reduced in size.

Now that I have been treated for about one and half months,
I feel almost normal. I am sure I will continue to get better.

Ye Eun H.
Thank you so very much for your skill and treatment. When
I came to you, I had been suffering migraine headaches for
over five years. Towards the end, I was literally suffering
headaches for up to 20 days in a row, with only 5 days of
relief between bouts.
I had taken "modern" medicine as far as it could go, being
told, "You have migraines, deal with it." I unfortunately
turned to oriental medicine as a "last resort", rather than
seeking it as an alternative treatment. That is the last time I
make that mistake.
It's now 25 days without a migraine, which is an
unbelievable miracle for me. This has been a miracle for
me. Not only have you taken away the headaches, but you
also have spent more time talking to me, listening, and
asking questions, than I have ever experienced.
Forever grateful,

Mike K., Age 37
Since I was 12 years old [now age 54], I started with
migraines. Over the years, my headaches worsened. For
the past 11 years I've been getting them 3-4 times a week,
without being able to control it. I've been to several doctors,
they've prescribed different medications and nothing
seemed to help. I also had an MM of my brain, and nothing
was found.

One day my niece told me about you. She said you have
helped her in the past and highly recommended you. I was
first in denial. I thought about it for 2 weeks before having
my first consultation with you. My first week with the herbs
didn't make me feel any different. I still continued with my
headaches. I decided to try one more week. If I didn't feel a
change I was going to stop coming to you.

I am extremely happy to say there has been a whole new
change with my life style. Now I can get up from bed and
go on with my everyday duties. I still get slight headaches
but not to an extreme that I can't get up from bed. You
have helped me a lot. I thought that there was no way to
control my migraines. I thank God and you for all your help
and patience you have for me. I'm going to continue going
to you. I first was in disbelief, now I'm embarrassed to say I
was wrong.

Julia H.
I have been tending bar and serving for 40 years. I have
always had some kind of pain and have used lots of drugs
to deal with it. For the last two years, however, I have had
extreme pain in my neck and right arm. Never in my
life had I considered acupuncture. I was shopping in the
neighborhood and just walked in on David Lee. After telling
him how I had to use Vicodin, Valium and Xanax to just
work, I decided to let him treat me. In one week my whole
life had changed. I no longer depend on drugs or alchohol
for pain or stress. I believe I found a miracle in David.

Lynn M.
About 3 yeas ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism
or depressed thyroid. My symptoms were lethargy,
unusual coldness (more sweaters in August) and sleeping
an excessive amount. I was placed on Synthroid and that
relieved the symptoms unless I forgot to take the daily
medication. If I forgot to take the medicine, I had
immediate response, such as inability to complete
thoughts and sentences.
I received acupuncture from David Lee. I have been
symptom free for about 4 months. I'm off medication, and I
honestly feel better than ever. My "blood numbers" fall
within the normal range without medicine.

Sincerely, Kent Y.
I came to see Dr. Lee because of low thyroid, irritable
bowel & always feeling tired for years. I have been
receiving treatment for 3 months and I see a huge
difference in the way I feel. I have much more energy. I
haven’t had any bouts with irritable bowel problem. I highly
recommend Dr. Lee to anyone with any of the problems
that I had.         

Deanna F.
I had rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years. When it was
severe, especially with work and change in weather, I could
not get up in the morning for 2 hours and went to sleep at
night with severe pain. My hands and were becoming
crooked, and all the joints in my limbs were stiff.

I had acupuncture for two months now. I wake up with very
little pain and I can do my activities throughout the day
without having to worry about how I will wake up tomorrow.

In L.
When I first came to see Dr. Lee 2 months ago, I had a lot
of pain & stiffness in my neck and back. I also
experienced migraines frequently. After 2 months of
treatment, my neck and back have improved significantly
and I no longer have intense migraines. Overall I feel much
better than I ever had before and I am more relaxed and
focused during my day. The everyday stress in my life
seems much improved also- I no longer feel anxious. I
would recommend acupuncture to anyone wanting to
improve their overall health & well being. I am very grateful I
found Dr. Lee.

Lisa M.
I have been coming to acupuncture for over a month now.
When I first came in, my conditions were mostly IBS
symptoms and some heel pain. Both symptoms were
pretty severe. After the first few treatments of acupuncture,
I felt better. As time went on I started to notice a change in
my body not only with the symptoms that I had been
suffering from but just (also) in my overall health. I started
to feel more relaxed and my sleep became more restful.

Today my heel pain has diminished and my IBS is calmer.
Along with the acupuncture Dr. Lee gave me Chinese
herbs and some advice on what types of foods my body
may not be able to handle. Both have really helped me in
my progress to feeling better and also all better mental and
physical health.

Robin F.
I’ve been in pain for about a year. Initially, my sacro-iliac
joints were “off,” giving me discomfort, which increased a
lot after a while. The discomfort became pain and started
affecting my daily activities. I don’t use medicine, but I was
walking, doing therapies…. It alleviated but the pain started
coming and going and getting stronger each time. My
energy was low, I felt tired, hot flashes were bothering
me and lately the strong pain was constant… no break day
and night.
I started acupuncture, herbs intake, and nutrition changes
2 months ago.

The very next morning of my 1st session, my energy was
back “with interests.” I was able to do things at home that I
had been postponing for a long time and was not even
relating to my session with Dr. Lee at all, until some days
later, when other differences could be noticed. People
started telling me that I was “glowing” and happier. And it
was true.  The next weekly sessions brought me a sense
of wellness and happiness that I was not used to anymore.

Now I’ve been having sessions every other week and keep
doing the herbs and the nutrition changes as well, which I
intend to incorporate into my lifestyle! Thank you Dr. Lee
for being such a gift to all of us, doing your alchemy
towards healing the world; one being at a time.

Katia F
I came to see David Lee 2 months prior due to IBS and
menstrual problems. I was waking up every night with
really bad stomach aches, which were interrupting my
sleep. After a couple of weeks of acupuncture and herbs
my stomach problems improved.

I don’t experience any stomach issues now. The insomnia
has completely disappeared and my menstrual problems
have improved. I think following David Lee’s suggestions on
diet has really helped too. The lessened symptoms have
greatly improved my quality of life. I sleep soundly at night
and have a lot of energy for the gym, work, and family.

CJ C.
I am pregnant for 34 weeks now and not due for delivery
until at least 36 weeks have passed. I had to be careful
during my third trimester because the placenta is located
too low in my uterus. I had lower back pain which started
2 months ago. Since two days before acupuncture I had
constant  uterine contractions which the medications
helped a little.
After three acupuncture sessions, I had no more
contractions. My gynecologist says the placenta is placed
firmly and expected to have normal birth. My lower back
pain is much better.

I sprained my ankle quite badly and acupuncture was
recommended to me. At first, I did not take the advice but
after a week of consistent pain and limping and no
significant improvement, I called David Lee.

We me shortly after and to my amazement I walked out of
his office without a limp after just one visit. Not only that,
but he also began treating my allergies. I have had
difficulty with allergies for at least 20 years. I often would
need to breathe out of my mouth because I was unable to
get enough air through my nose. My nasal passages would
be swollen and congested. During times of wind I would get
severe sinus headaches. With several visits over the last
week and a half, I’m ready to get back to my exercise
routine and breathe more freely than I can ever remember.

I have recommended Dr. Lee to many people already and
will continue to see him myself as well. If I had any
complaint at all, it would be that I did not come to see him
sooner. He is a blessing and I am grateful.
Florence Butler         Age 84

I had a constant burning sensation in the bladder,
especially during urination. It began about two years ago
and has been very uncomfortable since then. I was waking
up 10 to 12 times a night to urinate. During the day, the
pain was often unbearable. In my first acupuncture, I felt
the pain going away while lying down on the table. My
progress of improvement has been truly amazing. I have
been coming about one month and half now. The burning
pain is very minimal and I only get up about 3-4 times a
night.

I was very surprised that my lower back and knee pain
were also getting better. Often, I forget to use a cane and
people at meetings are surprised that I am walking around
without a cane. I was taking allergy pills every day. Now
my nose is completely open even without medication. This
is truly amazing and wonderful that I can live comfortably.
Coming here made a difference of night and day.

I had broken my left wrist and right shoulder during an
accident in mid September (5 months ago). Shortly
thereafter I began seeing a physical therapist and my
injuries were slowly improving. I January I had decided that
my injuries were not improving fast enough so I came to
see Dr. Lee.

At that time I still had significant pain in my shoulder
and wrist. I had not slept a full night in months, was very
tired constantly, and had headaches and allergies. Dr. Lee
began giving me acupuncture treatments once per week
and my symptom immediately began to improve at a much
more rapid rate. In fact, after the 1st treatment, sleep was
no longer an issue. Dr. Lee also advised me on my diet
identifying foods to stay away from and others to eat. I feel
this diet has improved my digestion, energy and
concentration. He also began to give me a herb blend. The
combination of acupuncture, diet, and herb therapy has
made a big difference.

Thanks Dr. Lee!
J.P.
BEFORE:
I came in with symptoms of depression, neck pain, back
pain, and just a general sense of “imbalance” with all
areas in my life; professionally, personally, mentally, and
spiritually.
Prior to my first visit, I had been on anti-depressants on
and off for 8 years, and I have never felt they were
completely effective, rather just put a “bandaid” on my
mental well-being.

AFTER:
After a month of acupuncture treatment, my depression
has subsided and my general sense of well-being has
dramatically improved. Further, I completely feel better
(mentally) without the need for anti-depressants! My neck
pain has improved much as well. The “holistic” approach of
acupuncture has affected all other areas of my life, and I
feel more balanced, focused, and calm!
Jeanie Bell

I was fatigued all the time. I was having pregnancy
symptoms every month but I was not pregnant. My right
foot had pain and I was having headache, and just
feeling out of sorts. The first week of treatment I felt a
difference. The treatment has been about two months, and
I have no more pain. I’m not fatigued anymore. I feel the
best I have felt in very long time.


Sincerely,

Asthma
The patient says she went to her medical doctor and he
told her that her lungs were functioning properly and that
she was doing better. Patient says she noticed that in the
beginning before acupuncture she used the inhaler 5-6
times in 1 day.

She noticed that each day after acupuncture she was
using the inhaler less and less often. The patient says she
no longer has to use it anymore, thanks to acupuncture.
The patient has been about 1 month without using the
inhaler. The patient says especially now with the weather
change to coldness she used it a lot. Now she no longer
has to use it.
L.C.

I started with Dr. Lee in December 06. I Found out I have
arthritis in my right foot. So I thought I’d try acupuncture. I
went 10 times and although the arthritis will continue, the
pain has lessened and is less frequent.

I found that other symptoms began to diminish as well. My
menopausal symptoms have seemed to really be less
than they were when I came in. Stress has subsided and
sleep is much better. Fatigue was also an issue, which I
found the teas to really give me natural energy. I had
constipation even when taking prune juice, Dr. Lee took
me off prune juice immediately and told me to eat more
green vegetables and drink the teas, and now I am going
daily on my own.

Finally, Dr. Lee has helped me to become more aware of
taking responsibility for my own health, I feel more
motivated to take better care of my health and exercise
more which will definitely help with my high cholesterol and
overall well-being.

Thanks Dr. Lee for your inspiration and jump start into
taking care of my mind and body.

Age 44

At the age of 11, I started having a cough that would give
me spells of up to 1 hour straight. My parents took me to
the doctors and they would prescribe a cough medicine.
Over the years this cough turned into an asthmatic cough.
I have seen many doctors, specialists, and internal
doctors, and even ended up in the emergency room more
times than I can count. The doctors would prescribe
asthma medications and medication to prevent my attacks
but could never find a medication that would stop my
coughing once I started. When I would end up in the
emergency room I would receive a cool breathing treatment
that would stop my coughing for maybe 1 hour.  My
coughing could last from 1 week to 5 months. My doctors
could not find a cure.
I met Dr. Lee through a friend. When I met him I was
having my coughing spell. He recommended that I eat 3
pears a day and boil the peels in hot water and drink it like
a tea. Well, to my surprise, in a couple of days my cough
was gone. I tried my home remedies and none had worked,
but thanks to Dr. Lee’s 3 pears I now sleep 8 hours
peacefully, am able to work, and people don’t walk around
me like they used to. By this I mean once I start coughing
it can last up to 1 hour straight nonstop and people at
times thought I had some kind of disease. Well, thanks to
Dr. Lee I now can do things as everyone else.
