Allergies
I have suffered with
Allergies for several years. I became allergic later in life in my mid 30’s,
becoming allergic to mostly grasses pollens, mold, dust and trees & flowers in bloom. Spring,
summer and fall were my worst times.
Previous treatments of
pills, serum injected into my arm (treatment for 5 years) and nasal injection for two years had met with only marginal success. Believing there was nothing else that could be done, I put up with the sneezing, runny
eyes and general poor health for about 15 years.
On a business trip to
Alberta
with my co-worker P. Liang, we had opportunity to discuss his previous treatment for allergies by Acupuncture. Although I suffered, I did not have a lot of faith and hope in alternative medicines and cures let alone
someone sticking needles in me so I put the idea away in the memory bank.
The day before mother’s
day this year, our company social club had a social golf tournament in Avonlee. After
golfing that day, I already felt fairly ill on the trip home. On Mothers day
I was so ill I could hardly get up. My eyes were watering so bad my eyes and
eyelids were just raw and it felt like there was a bag of sand in my eyes. I
was so low and discouraged that I thought of what Liang had told me weeks earlier and my wife and I thought I should contact
this fellow Liang knew because life was not very pleasant suffering like this if someone could help me.
I seen Liang first thing Monday morning and he past on some information from Dr. Liu.
The information showed that this man had lots of credentials so I had a better level of confidence about this whole
idea. I contacted Dr. Liu and set up an appointment for that evening. He examined me and suggested that he felt he could help me and gave me my first treatment and acupuncture
experience before I left the office. He suggested that I would need about 15
sessions to complete my treatment. I thought I would try it for a little while
and see what happened being as I lived through the first treatment and it didn’t hurt as much as I figured it surely
must.
After 5 or 6 treatments
I started to feel better, but still being somewhat skeptical, I wasn’t 100% convinced that it was due to the acupuncture
treatments. After about 8 treatments I was really starting to feel better and
inquired to other patience’s that were leaving the Dr. Liu’s office of how they felt. They all said that they were feeling wonderful and had so much energy.
Just how I was presently feeling. At this point I decided to stay the course and have the 15 treatments and see what
happens.
I had told
Dr. Liu that I had been taken some medicated nose spray as prescribed by my normal Dr. and wondered if I should stop taken
this medicine. He suggested that not to quit just yet. He also suggested that there was some Chinese medicine that he could give me to help with my condition
but didn’t push it.
After about 11 or 12 treatments I felt like I could wrestle an alligator. I went out and played golf again walking 18 holes carrying my golf clubs.
This was a feet I hadn’t been able to do in years.
After the initial 15 treatments
I was feeling excellent but Dr. Liu suggested I should have a few more treatments, possibly 3 to 5. Being as I felt so good and didn’t want the negative effects of the allergies to come back I elected
to do this as well.
The day before my last treatment
(# 20) I asked Dr.Liu when I should come back for a follow up of further treatment.
He suggested that I shouldn’t have to come back even at all this year.
Possibly next year if I were to feel some ill effects but probably wouldn’t need it.
I then asked him about
this Chinese medicine that he had previously mentioned, if I would require this medicine.
He said no. He didn’t feel I would need this. This surprised me very much as I figured there must be some other thing than just acupuncture, but the
answer was NO.
I had quite taken any
medicine at all since about my 13 treatment and have taken none since and continue to feel excellent and have a lot of energy.
Since the treatments,
I have re-landscaped my back yard working with dirt, trees, flowers and grass. This
is a feet that I would not have undertaken in the last 10 years. I didn’t
even wear a mask.
This past weekend, we
went camping, tenting in the grass and trees. This was another past time that
we as a family had previously enjoyed but had to give up as I would always become to sick to enjoy it.
I am totally convinced
that the treatments Dr. Liu gave me have helped me with my allergies and again have allowed me to enjoy the spring and summer
seasons.
I have never felt this
good in 15 years or more. Only time will tell what tomorrow or next year will
bring, as I have never experienced this before. I can only hope and trust in
what this man was able to do for me. I truly feel that he honestly wants to help
people with his ability to perform acupuncture. He is not trying to sell anything
else except his ability to help people with his treatments.
