Bronchitis

"For 15 years I had the Mystery Ailment (while in my 20's & 30's). There was excessive fatigue & brain fog, doctors were baffled & my finances nearly depleted.
Finally I chanced upon "heat depuration" which worked wonders -- though I had to repeat it periodically for the next 5 years to get an even keel.
It was determined that solvent exposure plus prescription drugs caused this mysterious ailment - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. The body was overloaded with chemical garbage.
That's my background- worked for a gas station of a petroleum corp..

So after sick with bronchitis & severe hypertension & harsh side effects from prescription drugs, I came to your center for holistic support. It seemed to me that herbs with a long history of safe use would be preferable to recently patented & pricey pharmaceutical drugs. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has endured for centuries & the perspective, thinking & approach are fundamentally different from the mainstream paradigm.
My hypertension was diagnosed as stage 2 & I resigned myself to taking synthetic drugs for the rest of my life. I then began your acupuncture & herbs. For the first half of last year, I took BP herbal pills 2 or 3 times a day. Since then I've been completely off the stuff-chemical drug medicine. (My BP right now incidentally is 117/82 & I've been lax with my exercise lately). I appreciate that.
Thanks also for the energy fixes following the illness & after over exertion.
In any case, you've provided me also an interesting experience: fine tuning the body.
Mainstream care conversely seems best suited to dire emergencies only.
Beyond that, without a prescription pad they'd be 0% effective.
Also, even with insurance, the co-pays for consultation & drugs are not
cheap.
So Thank you for your patience, teaching & help."

" I am a 59 year old RN with history of asthma since age 38. At the time, I also developed bronchitis and started wheezing even when I stopped smoking. I was treated by my family Doctor by hyposensitization injections for one year and other allergy specialist one by one. However, nothing really works on me which include three times removed nasal polyps and high dosage steroid medicine of both oral intake and nasal inhaler. I even tried acupuncture with herbal treatment through a Lehigh Valley clinic over a year with little help in my sinus congestion and digestion but not help for my asthma/wheezing condition. Through my friend's highly recommended, I decided switch to Tao's clinic to give him a try. To my surprised, only third visit, it already much decreased my breakthrough asthma, my sinus better, my arthritis pain in my hand better and I now used to take Dr. Tao's prescribed herbal mixture's tea instad of those toxin medicine, particular after I gradually reduced the steroid medicine, I feel I become more healthy, my energy feel better, my breathing better, I even not use steroid inhaler any more, my face looks more brighter, everybody what I know all feel me different. I am very pleased to find a miracle Doctor like Dr. Tao did- so quick, so effective." ~Kemper Mahon
