Total treatment is between 3 to 4 months. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a motility disorder involving the intestines. Patients may experience variable degrees of Western medicine directly links between the GI tract and the central nervous system. Such a brain-gut connection would explain why emotional upsets affect the intestines and why intestinal systems affect the mood. The good news is that Asian medicine has been proven to treat IBS safely and effectively. |

TESTIMONIAL
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. |
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. |
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. |
My illness started seven years ago, as a flight attendant. I worked long hours, different time zones and inadequate food, nutrition, and sleep patterns. I developed severe heartburn. I was put on medication, prevacid and nexium. These medications worked for the heartburn, but I developed debilitating side effects; persistent nausea (to the point I had to take a leave of absence from work). The nausea continued to progress along with weight gain, irritable bowel syndrome, and menstrual irregularities to the point I spent most of my days flat out on the couch with severe dizziness. I kept telling my gastrointestinal physician that I must be allergic to the medication since my life has completely changed. He then did all kinds of test, CAT scan, MRI, and endoscopy all to no avail. I was then sent to another specialist "best in the country” I was told and he said the same thing. Medication should not be causing problem. It was not until I went off all medications and started seeing Dr. David Lee. I was treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture that my life changed. It took about two months and the improvement was so drastic, I finally have my life back thanks to Dr. David Lee and his herbal medicine. I truly believe in eastern medicine and herbal therapy, it gave me my life back. |
