The occurrence of allergies in developed countries is sharply on the rise. Many patients do not want to stay on medications for long periods of time. Happily, Asian medicine provides a time-tested alternative. HOW DOES CHINESE MEDICINE WORK? Chinese medicine seeks to restore balance to the body. Each individual's pattern of disharmony is uniquely assessed and diagnosed. HAYFEVER & DIET Chinese medical practitioners believe that, in most cases, the cause of hayfever is both diet and heredity related. Although other factors, such as exercise and stress, play a part in many people’s hayfever, modification of one’s diet is usually the cornerstone of the Chinese medical treatment plan. |

TESTIMONIAL
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. |
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! |
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. Valeria D. |
M M I started treatment with Dr. Lee due to significant post- constipation. The post-nasal drip kept me awake due to coughing, during the day. I needed to stop my work to drink water, chew a throat lozenge and /or use my inhaler. This problem has been progressing for the last 8-10 years; the last 6-9 months have been almost intolerable. I was recently exposed to a definite trigger (a strong perfume). After just 5 treatments the improvement has been probably 90% with my sinus symptoms. I have been sleeping through the night since the first treatment. My neck and knee have had some improvement as well. Thank you Dr. Lee for all you have done for me. |
