My mother was sick for a very long time.. 4 months to be exact. She was coughing throughout the night and had difficulty breathing. We went to see 5 Western doctors and 4 Eastern doctors and none of them was able to help my mom. She lost 15 lbs during the course of her sickness due to lack of sleep and eating! She saw an ENT specialist, allergist, respiratory specialist, several herbalists, etc. She was prescribed Symbicort, Dymista, Fluticasone Propionate, Proventil, ProAir HFA, Nasonex, Zyrtec-D, Pantoprazole, and Allegra-D. All of the doctors were all very confident that their diagnosis was accurate, but the patient knows best and my mom was not getting any better. They thought she had a post-nasal drip It was to the point where her throat would constrict at night and couldn't breathe. My sister, wife, uncle, and myself took turns sleeping over to make sure nothing tragic happened during her sleep. She was finally diagnosed as having Non-Allergic Sinusitis by the Dr. Berger who wrote the book Asthma for Dummies. He told her that she will need to continue taking all those drugs if she wants to breathe. My mom doesn't not want to live a life dependent on drugs and the truth was that it only relieved the symptoms, but didn't cure her sickness.
Finally a friend referred her to Dr. Jimmy Zhou at Fashion Acuherb (funny name but we were desperate). We made an appointment and went to see Dr. Jimmy. My mom had wrote down all of her symptoms and history as she couldn't even speak without coughing out her lungs.
Dr. Jimmy asked a few questions about her symptoms and history (sensitive to her condition). He then felt her pulse and started to treat her with acupuncture and prescribed her some Chinese herbs. She took the herbs for a couple of days and she started feeling better (I've seen that before, but it didn't last long). We went back to Dr. Jimmy a couple of days and this time he drained some of the blood from her back (sounds crazy, but we were desperate). Again, she felt better and her symptoms started to subside. After seeing Dr. Jimmy twice a week for a couple of months, she now has fully recovered!! Dr. Jimmy explained that it all started with my mom sitting near an air conditioner for too long. The cold air she breathed in was trapped inside her body and caused her body to be "cold" from the inside causing her coughing. The other doctors all mis-diagnosed and made the problem worst by telling her to eat lamb and beef, which further buries the "cold" and adds toxins to her blood. The Western doctors prescriptions only relieves the symptoms, but doesn't address the source of problem. Dr. Jimmy explained that the herbs he prescribed helped my mom sweat out the toxins, like peeling the outer layers of an onion to get to the source. The draining of her blood helped clear out the channels in her body, so the "cold" can naturally escape from her body. I know this all sounds very supernatural and strange, but it is a different philosophy that has been used in Eastern medicine for thousands of years. The most important point is that Dr. Jimmy healed my mom when 9 other doctors couldn't. My mom has then referred numerous people to Dr. Jimmy... all of which is very grateful for his expertise and knowledge. Her friend suffered from an ailment for decades and now is healed! She is forever grateful to my mom and Dr. Jimmy!
