12 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday October 20, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Acupuncture & Herbs ­ Compliments to the doctor! of his treatments can be seen best through the eyes of his loyal and very pleased clients. A 50 year old client who suffered from colitis (experienced two weeks of continuous diarrhea, more than 20 times a day bleeding, mucous.) had visited his family doctor and had examinations at the hospital. They couldn't find what was wrong with him and couldn't help him. He had to wait for an appointment with a Specialist for four months. Due to the severity of his problem he was becoming quite desperate and went to Dr. Zhang for help. After assessment, Dr. Zhang prescribed special herbal tea and acupuncture treatments. Within two weeks of this treatment all the symptoms had disappeared. The patient said "If it hadn't been for Dr. Zhang I might have died ­ he saved my life!" Others who have come to Dr. Zhang for treatment related to depression, anxiety and stress have also been won over by the healing powers of acupuncture & Chinese herbs. By using his pharmaceutical know-how Zhang creates symptom-specific teas and pills for such patients. A life suffering with depression can be filled with medications. One can be pill free with natural remedies! After dealing with depression for more than 30 years, one particular sufferer had no choice but to rely on medication. "I underwent three months of acupuncture and herbal therapy with Dr. Zhang and soon was able to reduce my dosage of medication gradually until finally I got rid of them. I am now symptom-free and lead a normal life." People are not aware that the anti-depressant medication they take may only cover up the deep-rooted symptoms; whereas acupuncture gives them the permanent cure they need. IBS is one of the most common disorders seen by primary care physicians. However, there are no structural abnormalities that can be seen by endoscope, x-ray, or blood tests. So far, mainstream medicine has no cure for IBS. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines restore health by balancing and improving the flow of chi, helping to promote the body's natural healing ability and also cleansing the system. A girl, 25 years old came to Dr. Zhang with many symptoms, gas, bloating, constipation, burning sensation and stomach cramps. She had suffered from IBS as a teenager. "Dr. Zhang started a weekly acupuncture session, along with some herbal treatment. I must confess that I was a little skeptical at first, but soon I began to experience excellent results, all the symptoms had disappeared ­ now I'm a believer in Acupuncture and Chinese herbs!" A 65 year old lady had a stiff neck and shoulder, and her left arm and hand were numb with a tingling sensation. "I felt some difference after I tried Dr. Zhang's acupuncture three times. My neck loosened up, my hand doesn't tingle very often and I now sleep well. I visited Dr. Zhang later on after I developed tennis elbow, and this too disappeared after four treatments, and gave me relief. It's unbelievable that acupuncture works so quickly and well. I then sent my husband to see Dr. Zhang for his lower back." "Neck problems, Hip and Lower Back Pain and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are very common ailments. If people would only treat these problems in the early stages it would only need a few acupuncture treatments to feel the pain relief," explains Dr. Zhang. The stories go on and on.
