My succes with acupuncture

March 8, 1994

Acupuncture treatments were recommended to me by my dear friend , Margaret, who suffered headache pain for a long time

After taking medication which did'nt work, she went to a chiropractor. Still the headaches persisted.

On Dec., 23, 1993, the pain was so severe it was causing her to vomit. It was then she sought the help of Dr. Chau to try acupuncture as a last resort.

Margaret was skeptical and afraid, but down she went for a simple 15 minute treatment. Ten minutes into her, her headache disappeared and she has'nt suffered another since.
In total I believe she had seven treatments.

After her first treatment, with the knowledge of the chronic pain in my spine, Margaret called me and without pushing it on me, suggested that I might consider acupuncture as a last resort for me.

The discs between my vertebrea have been degenerating for the past 29 years, caused by a disease known as Ankylosing Spondylitis. I have no discs in my spine what-so-ever now and I also have osteo-arthritis.
The severity of my pain has been getting progressively worse over the past year, with no options such as surgery open to me. All sorts of medication have done very little.

Being totally disabled since 1988, unable to clean my own house, go shopping etc... I took Margaret 's advice. I too was skeptical and afraid. Various thoughts went through my mind, such as big needles going into my spine and how much this would hurt, but the fact is, the needles are very tiny, they don't hurt, and they are not put into the spine. They do however go into various acupuncture points, such as your hands, feet, etc.

Thanks to Dr. Chau and acupuncture, I am now able to do many things which I haven't done for years,.... " PAIN FREE "

I' m in hopes that anyone who reads my letter will try acupuncture without feeling skeptical or afraid and that they enjoy the same succes as I.

Sincerely,
