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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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,
Jeanie Bell

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.

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.

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.
