High Blood Pressure

Dear Dr. Chau:

I would like to formally thank you for the incredible results you were able to accomplish using acupuncture to resolve my hypertension.

Approximately two years ago I found out that my blood pressure was abnormally high (204/124).
Through life-style changes, regular exercise, improved eating habits and the resultant weight loss, I was able to bring my blood pressure down to 178/98.
Unfortunately, this was not low enough to be out of the danger zone for a possible heart attack or stroke.
My readings had stagnated for over six months and I could not get under the 178/98 range.
Doctors highly recommended (almost insisted) that I start taking medication to get my hypertension under control. However, the pills would have to be taken for the rest of my life and with them come some very undesirable side effects.

I have always been intrigued by the science of acupuncture, but too leery to try the therapy myself.
Now I had no choice, as it was my last hope before pumping chemicals into my system.
I was surprised to find that the treatments were not only painless, but actually very relaxing.

The results, to my amazement, were phenomenal! Within four hours of my first treatment, my blood pressure dropped by 30 points (148/80).
During my two weeks of treatment, my readings remained low.
Now, three weeks after my last treatment, my levels are still low and have, in fact, continued to improve.

I am now a firm believer in using acupuncture as an alternative to prescription drugs and would highly recommend others to at least try it to see what it might be able to do for them. Not only did my actual blood pressure readings dramatically decrease, but I also feel better overall, both physically and mentally.

Thank you Dr. Chau for all you have done to improve my health and my life.

Yours very truly,
