Letters from Patients

 

ACMA policy on patient's CHM treatment information exchange is as follows:

(1) Due to patient privacy consideration, ACMA neither encourages nor discourages patients to share their CHM treatment information with other patients;

(2) Patient's CHM treatment information exchange is an issue of patient's choice;

(3) ACMA does not request patients to present testimonials;

(4) If a patient wants to share his/her CHM treatment experience with other patients and voluntarily sends a letter to ACMA, the letter will be published in this section;

(5) All letters will be published the way when they have been received, and will not be edited by ACMA; 

(6) Because all letters in this section were initiated and submitted voluntarily by patients rather than requested or solicited by ACMA, these are "Letters from Patients" rather than "Testimonials".

ACMA received the following letter in 2007.

From a leukemia patient

Symptoms:  Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

How long on Chinese Herbal Medicine:  2.5 months  

Results of use of CHM:  Since CHM treats the root of the condition; I have experienced numerous results in many areas.  The CHM dramatically decreased my motion sickness, irregular heartbeat and palpitations, increased my circulation so that I did not feel cold all the time, reduced my stomach pain and acid reflux; decreased high blood pressure; decreased menstrual cramping and associated side affects; decreased headaches; increased energy; decreased aching in joints and bones; mental and emotional clarity and regulation increased; sleep increased and felt rested in the morning and in addition to all of these benefits, my White Blood Count decreased the first month by 20% and stabilized the month after even though I experienced a terrible cold and flu.  The treatment for cold and flu also needs to be recognized that during the time I had the cold and flu, I was able to recover within a five day period where other individuals were developing pneumonia or experiencing sickness for up to three and four weeks.

Any side effects?  There have been absolutely no side effects from taking the treatment except that you feel better.

How long on allopathic medicine before taking CHM:  Was not on allopathic medicine before.

Results of use of allopathic medicine  N/A

Any side effects ?  N/A

 

ACMA received the following letter in 2006.

October 2006

My health has improved substantially since I started using Chinese herbal medicine from Dr. Bob Xu.

I had allergies & took medication (both prescription & over the counter) for this problem for a period of  30 years.  Repeated sinus infections from the allergies during this time, led to sinus surgery.  After using Chinese herbal medicine, I no longer need to take allergy medication.

The medication I took for the allergies also eventually affected my liver & cholesterol.  My liver enzymes were below normal & my cholesterol count was abnormally high. 

Dr. Xu gave me Chinese herbal medicine to restore my liver function & cholesterol count.  In just 2 months time, my liver enzymes were within the normal range and my cholesterol count dropped 129 points!

I used to have Raynauds Syndrom.  This circulation problem is now a thing of the past thanks to Chinese herbal medicine.  I initially had gone to see an American vascular surgeon who told me that he could prescribe a drug for this problem, however, it might affect my heart.  Of course, this was out of the question.  Chinese herbal medicine healed me with no side affects.

After having two babies some 30 years ago, I became slightly incontinent.  It became more of a problem in the last 10 years.  After two months of taking Chinese herbal medicine, I am no longer bothered with that issue.  A friend of mine had 3 surgeries for incontinence & none of them worked.  After hearing this, I sought help from Dr. Xu. 

Chinese herbal medicine helped me heal where allopathic Western medicine could not.

I look forward to the day when American insurance companies will open their eyes and see the value in the healing power of Chinese herbal medicine.  Millions of dollars will be saved because far fewer prescription drugs, surgeries & hospital stays will be needed.

ACMA received the following letter in 2006.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am under Dr Xu care for Osteoarthritis in both my knees.  The right
knee is the worst one.  My Arthritis is affected by weather changes or
barometric pressure in the atmosphere.  Several days before rain is due
to come in I  was in a lot of  pain.  The pain was so severe that it
kept me from sleeping and it was swaying me toward having a knee
replacement for my right knee.  Surgery  would be my last alternative. 
Therefore,  I contacted Dr. Xu.  He was my last ditch attempt to find
some relief and try to improve my quality of life.  His alternative
medicine has done wonders for me.  I can work my a 12 hour day at work 
( continental shift) and still manage to get to my car and get a good
nights sleep without bing in pain.  I wish I would have started several
years earlier.  My Arthritis would not have progressed this far.  I am
very grateful for Dr. Xu 's help.  His Chinese medicine has made me
active and pain free again.  I am 62 years old and have a lot of great
productive years ahead of me thanks to Dr.Xu.

ACMA received the following letter in 2005.

On August 16, 2004, I took a bad fall, landing with the impact of all my body weight on my right chest area.  This resulted in internal wounds - damage to the muscle and connective soft tissue in my chest.

After the fall, I felt very sick for (2) weeks, and I was in a great deal of pain.  My Chiropractor taped me during this time, but there was still a lot of pain.  At this point Dr. Bob Xu began treating my internal injuries with Chinese medicine.  Within 24 hours, the sickness was gone.  Within 48 hours, the pain in my chest was completely gone.

The other benefit I noticed while Dr. Xu was treating my internal injuries, was that my immune system was quickly and drastically improving.  After much illness for the last 2 years, I was at a point where I got exhausted after simply getting dressed in the morning.  During Dr. Xu's treatment, I found that I was able to go longer each day before tiring out.  Now, I can go 3 to 5 hours before needing a break, and if I rest for an hour, I can usually go another few hours.

In my opinion, if Chinese medicine were used with our traditional Western medicine, we would have a lot less illness and a lot more healthy people.  Many of the drugs used today in Western medicine have severe side effects (some that we're not even aware of).  I know this because I have been on antibiotics and steroids on and off for years, and have seen the damage they have done.  I feel that Chinese medicine, when it can be used, is so much safer, without these serious side effects.

Healing has been going on in different forms, for thousands of years (and it has worked, or we wouldn't have all the people on earth as we do today).  Western medicine did not exist as we know it today.  There are many forms of healing that we don't understand that are used even today, with great success.  These other forms have worked, survived and stood up against the test of time. 

From my own personal experience, I know that Chinese medicine is one of these.  The results that I have seen are incredible!  I feel so fortunate to have been directed to Dr. Bob Xu.
