Symptoms:
Patient diagnosed in 1990 at
a nationally renowned clinic. Onset in 1990. Original symptoms:

medical treatment for this condition. Patient experienced this condition
several times per year.
Treatment:
Treatment consisted of daily
acupuncture and two herbal formulas.

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.
