Uterus fibroid/ovarian cyst

TESTIMONIAL FOR DR. CHEN

When I first came to see Dr. Chen in July, 2005, I had a "seroma" which is fluid or serum that has accumulated in a dead space in the body. On a sonogram the seroma looked like a 14 cm cyst! As a result of abdominal surgery I had in December of 2004, so much fluid had accumulated in my abdomen that it had pushed my uterus forward and to the left side of my body.

I also had a fibroid in my uterus that you could feel if you ran your hands across my stomach. It sat a good inch to the left of my belly button and was very hard to the touch. Dr. Chen suggested I come for acupuncture treatments twice a week for 5 weeks. I was also taking an herbal formula twice a day, 7 days a week. Within that short time period my fibroid got softer and the seroma began to shrink. I could actually feel my uterus slowly moving back toward the center of my body with my hands.

At the end of the first series of treatments I felt so encouraged by the progress we'd made that I signed up for a second series with Dr. Chen. Halfway through it, the fibroid disappeared altogether! My stomach was suddenly soft all over and you couldn't feel my uterus anymore. (After years of trying to have a "hard body" stomach I was suddenly overjoyed that it was soft and squishy.) The fluid that had been filling my abdomen had begun to be reabsorbed into my body.

Although I haven't had a second sonogram yet to tell my how much smaller the "cyst" has become, the change in what I can actually feel with my hands is enough to convince me that the fertility specialist who told my that acupuncture "wouldn't make a bit of difference in reducing the size of the cyst" could not have been more mistaken!

Fibromyalgia

Sept 5, 2006

Dear Dr. Chen,

This letter is to thank you for your great work in bringing my "fibromyalgia" symptoms under control using acupuncture and Chinese herbs.

When I first came to see you in March of this year I was experiencing extreme fatigue, weakness in my legs and severe problems with balance. I had been experiencing chronic fatigue for many years due to fibromyalgia, but during the winter of 1995-1996 the fatigue became much worse and I also began to find walking increasingly difficult. After receiving treatments from you my walking improved tremendously; my legs became stronger balance was greatly improved. Soon I also began to experience a lifting of the terrible fatigue that had been so severely affecting me. I noticed that I was able to do more and was much more alert and relaxed, and less hypersensitive to weather changes. And I no longer feared that I would fall in the streets.

These days I have returned to many of the activities that I used to enjoy but had to abandon, such as reading for hours at a time and walking around the city. I have also begun taking art classes, something I had wanted to do for a long time but was unable to because of my fatigue and difficulty focusing. Now I am able to function well in class, and I don't feel exhausted afterwards.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term chronic condition, but I feel that I have now found an effective way to manage its symptoms and lead a fulfilling life. I'd like to recommend that persons with fibromyalgia or other chronic conditions use acupuncture and Chinese herbs, either as adjunct therapy or as the main therapy of choice. For my condition, it is the only therapy that has ever substantially helped.

Sincerely Erica F.

Dear Dr. Chen

I would like to express my gratitude to you for healing my kneecap's swelling problem.

I started to have this problem in February 2006. My family doctor and my orthopaedist were not able to heal it. I was told that the ultimate solution for it might be a surgical operation. I then came to see Dr. Chen in mid-April. After 16 treatments of acupuncture and herbal medicine (both external and internal), my kneecap's swelling has gone. I can now get back my mobility. An unnecessary surgical operation can now be avoided. I am most grateful for Dr. Chen's help.

Again, thank you so much for healing my kneecap.

Best wishes

Infertility IVF support

Background and history

This couple had an IVF treatment in October 2005, but it was a failure. They came to me on December 5, 2005, and asked for acupuncture treatments to support the next IVF treatment, which was going to be done in February 2006.

The wife's situation:
She was 38 years old. She had surgery in 1993 to remove an ovarian cyst on her left ovary. She had irregular menstruation and her cycle was long, 2-3 months. She often had right side lower abdominal pain.

The husband's situation:
He had impotence for 3 years. His semen analysis report showed:

  • Concentration: 0.02 X10x6/ml (Normal range 20 X 10x6/ml)
  • Total sperm count: 0.06 X 10x6 (Normal range 40 X 10x6)
  • Motility: 44% (Normal > 50%)
  • Morphology: 0 (Normal (> 15)

The meaning of the above is: that his sperms count was much less than normal, about 100 times, the concentration was thin, the activity was, and the sperm were under developed.

They both had acupuncture treatments and were prescribed a Chinese herbal formula from December 5, 2005 to February 20, 2006, three months. They received acupuncture twice a week and took an herbal formula twice a day. They started IVF again and it was successful. The wife delivered a baby on November 16, 2006.

The baby was 6 pounds, 7 ounces (2.9 kilograms), 19 ¾ inches (50.1 centimeters).


Bell's palsy (before and after pictures)

December 23-2006

I developed Bell's palsy in August of 2006. My right face was paralyzed and completely deviated to the left side. I could not move the right side of my face, my right eye could not open and close, dust could easily go inside my eye; it was hurting me a lot, and was causing a lot of tears. The food I ate would stay in the right side of my mouth, and I could not taste the food, water dropped from my mouth when I drank. It was a terrible time for me.

In the beginning I went to my doctor, He give me some Antibiotics, Vitamins and Prednisone, I did not feel any improvement. I came to Dr. Chen five days after I had these problems. He used acupuncture along with cupping therapy every other day, and I took the herbal medicine he gave me every day. It was really magic, I felt better after each treatment. I was completely cured after 8 treatments within 18 days.

Now my all the symptoms and signs have been relieved. I feel that everything is normal.

Thanks Dr. Chen.

Acne (before and after treatment pictures)

Before meeting Dr. Chen my acne had grown to a stage where my dermatologist told me "Accutane" was my only hope. By this time, I had already seen three different dermatologists. The first diagnosed me with "Perioral Dermatitis" and prescribed antibiotics and topical creams. These creams were for rosasea and other skin conditions but did not address the internal and hormonal problem that caused my acne. The second doctor also recommended antibiotics and cortisone injections. I had weekly micro-dermabrasions, laser facials, and deep cleansing facials. This aggressive treatment aggravated my skin instead of improving it and did not stop new acne from forming.

After only one month of acupuncture and herbs with Dr. Chen, I noticed a 50% improvement in my skin and a significant reduction of new acne. This was the most significant change I had seen compared to all the other attempts in the past. Now, at two and a half months I am at 90% improvement. There is almost no new acne and some discoloration that will fade with time.

My friends have been so impressed with the dramatic change that they have become patients of Dr. Chen.

Thank You Dr. Chen!

Skin rashes and immune system lower
(before and after pictures)

December 27, 2006

Dear Dr. Chen,

I am writing to thank you for your amazing work you have done in my healing and the strengthening of my immune system over the past years. I arrived in the fall of 2003 with severe skin rashes on my face, chest, hands and unbearable itching all over my body. My immune system appeared to be depleted and I struggled with things such as keeping up my energy for basic activities and exercise (I have always been an extremely active person so this was difficult for me), pain in my body, and being able to eat foods I'd eaten for years without an allergic flare-up. I had been prescribed all sorts of creams and pills by the dermatologist and allergist - I got to one point where I was on eight different medications per day, but nothing was working to reduce the rashes and itching.

I was desperately seeking alternatives to the ineffective medication regimen I was on -something that could help me to find some relief. Fortunately I was connected to you by someone who had suffered similar symptoms and within weeks of herbal and acupuncture treatment I began to witness my body becoming stronger and the rashes decreasing. Over the next year, my symptoms decreased, my energy increased, and through a bit of collective detective work and very individualized diagnosis and treatment, I got better.

People close to me couldn't believe the visible changes in me and were convinced that this doctor I had found was truly a miracle worker (I believe this is so). I have continued treatment and maintenance with you for a variety of other issues over the years, and feel so grateful for the relief you have brought me in seeking health and finding balance in my body. Your concern for my health and work to find a path towards healing are unmatched. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

Warm regards,
K. L.


Psoriasis (before and after treatment pictures)

I have psoriasis for more than 10 years. It started from my both elbows, and was gradually expand to my lower back, hip, abdomen and legs. I went to many different doctors, and took a lot of different medicine and cream, but none of them worked. I felt very itching on the rashes with a lot of white peelings. The rashes were getting bigger and bigger by each day. I was distressed and couldn't sleep at night.

My psoriasis is getting much better since I start see Dr. Chen in August 2006. I felt improvement on my body after each treatment. Dr. Chen gives me acupuncture treatment one or two times a week and he also made create Chinese herbal formula special for psoriasis.

Thank you very much Dr. Chen

The Benefits of Acupuncture
for Singers

My name is Melissa D. Brown and I am the lead singer for the rock group Oxygen. I have been singing professionally for over thirteen years. Over time, singing with loud instruments takes its toll on the human voice. Some singers go to vocal coaches only to be disappointed. Others ignore problems and damage their voices. I found the best solution for both improving my performance and preserving my voice to be Acupuncture.

I am currently being treated by Dr. Decheng Chen, and I am very pleased with the results. I would only recommend this treatment be performed by an acupuncturist who is experienced with this procedure. The human vocal chords are very fragile!

The improvements I have experienced are as follows:

  1. More strength and endurance.
  2. Less vocal strain.
  3. My throat is relaxed during performances.
  4. No ore throats or laryngitis.
  5. I no longer injure abdominal muscles while singing.
  6. Better career opportunities.
  7. As a result of Dr. Chen's treatments, my inner confidence is stronger.

I would strongly advise this treatment for all styles of singing, not just rock. This includes Broadway performers, opera singers, etc.

Alopecia/hair loss

7-1-2007

I have suffered from "Alopecia Totalis" for about 7 years now. Medical Doctors said there is no cure for this auto immune disease. I did not want to accept this, and kept looking for a safe treatment. My treatment with Dr. Chen started in February 2007. At this point I was completely bald had no hair on my head at all, even my lashes and eyebrows were gone. Now, 4 months later, you can see my lashes are fully grown, my eyebrows are in the come up and I have a fuzzy hairgrowth almost all over my head. I call Dr. Chen the "wonder doctor with magical hands".

I will never forget or regret being treated by Dr. Chen. My parents and I are very thankful for such quick results as many people said it will not work out!!

Thank you so much Dr. Chen

Lumbar Disc Herniation

December 21, 2007

Dear Dr. Chen,

I just wanted to thank you for the treatment I received during the last few months for my spinal stenosis (pinched nerve and sciatica). My orthopedist could only recommend epidurals and possible surgery.

I am glad I decided to try acupuncture instead. Before I came here I was unable to sleep because of the constant pain and could only walk short distances with a great deal of pain. I noticed an improvement in my condition after a very short time here and now I am able to walk as far as I want and am able to lie down pain-free. In fact I seem to be improving every day and am almost 100 per cent back to normal.

Thanks again.

Yours truly,
Alan H.

 

NECK PAIN

May 20, 2008

I am a man of 68 years old. I have developed neck pain and stiffness three years ago. I felt my range of motion in my neck has been limited since a month ago. Recently, my neck pain is getting gradually worse. The pain from the neck radiated to left shoulder, back and arm. And sometimes I feel my left fingers becoming numb, also sometimes I have headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, and blurry vision. Ever since one week ago suddenly my left hand was not able to make a fist. My left thumb and index fingers could not form a fist, at the same time my left arm and finger numbness got worse. I underwent an MRI examination: the report showed that my neck's cervical spine has been degenerative changed, disc herniation between C3 and C4 shifted to the left. The doctor suggested that I must have a surgery but I am very afraid and worry a lot because I had lower back disc herniation surgery 5 years ago, but my lower back pain was worse after surgery and I had to have a second surgery. Up till now I still have lower back pain. I was referred by my friend to see Dr. Decheng Chen. He gave me a few acupuncture treatments at his office and then he let me use NeckEase (a kind of product which you use at home twice a day, 30 minutes each time for one month). After the treatments my neck pain almost disappeared. Most importantly is that my left hand was able to form a fist again normally. My left thumb and index finger was able to form a fist just like the right side. At the same time my headache, dizziness, tinnitus and blurry vision also got much better.

Thank you.

Your trust
