    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.
In most cases, patients notice significant relief within
3 weeks, and the total course of treatment is up to
2 months. The result is stable thereafter.

    Chronic cough may be a result of a previous illness, a response to
    allergens, or there may not be a known cause.
    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.
