Link to Complete Case study

Patient:
39 year old Male.

Symptoms:
Patient diagnosed in 1990 at a nationally renowned clinic. Onset in 1990. Original symptoms:
Could not stand or walk standing straight, severe headache, severe stiff neck, abdominal pain, fever, and light sensitivity. There is no known allopathic medical treatment for this condition. Patient experienced this condition several times per year.

Treatment:
Treatment consisted of daily acupuncture and two herbal formulas.

Result:
Since the first treatment in 2000, the onsets per year have been reduced in number and severity so that his person no longer uses all his sick and vacation time being ill. Beginning treatment at the very earliest onset has proven to have the strongest result. He then does not have to go to stay in hospital to be on pain medication. Instead he is able to actually continue to go to work.

*Note:
this is an atypical result. Usually the average is 3 – 4 treatments plus an herbal formula.
