"Expect Great Results"

	"I will be grateful when we finally get to AZ. Thank you for all you've done for me. My headaches are 95 % better. I appreciate it more than you know. All the best to you for the years to come" S. B. Tucson, AZ

	"Wanted to give you an update: my neck/shoulders are both feeling much better! I have slept well since Saturday night... the best in over two weeks! So, I have you to thank for most of this. We visited friends in Wilmington Sunday and they are interested in finding an acupuncturist in that area. And thank you both for your support... I feel so GOOD!" C. H. Durham, NC

	"Number two reason is you have done such a good job, that I feel my health is at a point that is good now (as long as I continue to eat healthy). I wanted to say a great big Thank You for everything. When I first came in I felt low energy, aches and pains, headaches, twisting in my stomach. And now, I have energy, I have no headaches and no aches and pains and no twisting in my stomach. At this point, I feel as long as I continue to feed my body good food that it will continue to get strengthened. I feel so much healthier. Thank you, thank you, Thank you. You do your job very well. I will miss coming in, I enjoyed chatting with you. I wish you the very best in all that you set your hands upon. I will definitely mention you to everyone I know, and refer people to you. Again, thank you so much for all you have done for me." Bless you, L. B., Cary , NC

	"I would like to take a moment and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love, support and guidance really helped me though a difficult time in my life and I will never, ever forget what you did for me. I wish you and your family nothing - and I mean nothing - but the very best. You are such a wonderful person and I am so grateful that you are in the world doing such great things. I am truly honored and blessed to have known you. You are a rare gem and I am forever thankful." I hope we can keep in touch, with all the very best, R.N. - ( Indiana resident)

	"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your insight and healing you shared with me today. You are, again, instrumental in my life changes. You channel messages of Truth with such eloquence, clarity, and compassion. You are one of my favorite people and I am grateful to have you as a friend and healer in my life. Thank you." Heart, G. S.

	"I want to thank you for yesterday. Several things. . .. being someone that I could share with. . . that I had written a letter to my husband. . . . and understanding. For asking if I had sent it (followed thru). . . . and what the hardest thing about doing it was. . . . . for letting me be with my grief. . . . for always gently giving me such space to feel and to share. . . .what I feel at the moment. . . joy and sadness. . . whatever comes up. . .. For the peacefulness of the treatment. .. the healing of it. . . . the thunderstorm that was somehow so appropriate (I know you did not really create that.. . . but it was no coincidence). . . kind of like the weather the past week or so. . . . :) For teaching and sharing with me the correlation of ancient Chinese wisdom and leading me to see the clarity of it all. . . how we are so finely wrought, so much a part of the rhythms of life. . . physical body and soul so intertwined. . . You voice it, and share it, so simply and eloquently. Thank you for sharing you. I appreciate you. . . "

	"I slept better last night than I had in a long, long time." Love, L. H.

	"My thanks to you and your willingness to treat me. You are so good, I wish you were here. Ho Hum. . ." C. H. ( Florida resident)

	"Thank you so much for your excellent care. You have been a great help and support - one of my 3 wise Kings of health over the winter." Gratefully, G. L. (NC resident)

	You know the saying, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." I am grateful for your seasoned insights and gentle but powerful way that you opened up my eyes to changing my eating habits. My vitality has increased since I have been eating denser food, more protein and fat, and this is what I needed to propel forward. Few others could have convinced me to switch gears!" Gratitude, Love and light! G.S., Durham , NC

	"With MY needles I hope to honor one so kind Alas, for YOUR needles I will truly pine. I trust this will leave a trace of me behind. I know I'll take with me a calmer less anxious body and mind. So here's to you dear healer and friend… How can I ever thank you for making me whole again. . . ." D.O., former Durham resident - moved out of state

	"I can’t believe my osteoarthritis is 100 % gone. After you explained to me about inflammatory foods and encouraged me to make changes the pain is gone! I thought I was eating healthy until you informed me otherwise. I am fine after only ONE visit!" L.A. Durham

	"Thank you so much!!! Without you we wouldn't have had our little girl. After five years of trying to conceive. She is so precious and strong. I sailed through the pregnancy and our daughter is vital and so very beautiful. Thank you for your helping hand to bring her here! And thank you for the work you do! I can't believe she is here." With gratitude, M.E. Chapel Hill

	"It took four painful miscarriages until I came to see you. You patiently explained me about specific foods, I drank those god-awful herb teas and in three months I was pregnant. I now hold my little girl in my arms and we still can't believe it. After all these years of emotional roller coasters! Thank you so very much. God bless you!" C.V. Chapel Hill

	"I LOVE integrative medicine! I felt so ready for the surgery, in body and in mind and in spirit - really. I didn't need one single dose of pain meds post-op! Just my hypnosis tape, and your acupuncture tacks! I came out of the anesthesia very, very gently, without any side-effects - hip-hip-hooray! Even though I have a fair amount of swelling, I have no bruising (go homeopathic remedies from you!). Pretty awesome!" L.G., Durham , NC

	"Also, I wanted to let you know even though last Thursday was a terrible day, my stomach problem has totally disappeared! After I saw you I drove back thru the pouring rain to Apex to take my daughter back to school when I had a serious family emergency. If anything would have made my stomach a bigger knot than it already it would have been from the family situation that day, but somehow the acupuncture treatment you gave me that day really "took". So I just wanted to say THANKS." Sincerely, R.A., Cary , NC

	"Great news! My cholesterol is down from 206 to 176, so my intention - not to mention my concerted efforts and your support-- worked! Following is the complete profile. Liver enzymes are all normal, and my doctor suggested that I keep doing what I'm doing, so I'll continue with the supplements and herbs daily. Thank you again for your advice and support not only with the cholesterol, but with the menopausal transition as well." Regards, J. G., Durham , NC

	"I just wanted to tell you how amazing I felt after yesterday's treatment. My energy level hasn't been this high in over ten years. I wanted to thank you for your excellent care and helping me through my menopausal transition." Thanks for your support and caring! T.N., Chapel Hill , NC

	"Thank you so much for the excellent care you have given me this year. I still believe that I wouldn't have my beautiful daughter if it weren't for your support." Marianne N., Cary, NC

	"I have always been health conscious such as making sure I got enough sleep, eating wholesome foods, doing yoga, etc. but have gotten sick often and couldn't figure out why. Receiving Oriental medical care made me realize how much my emotional health is part of my overall health. My Doctor skillfully leads me to examine what my feelings are as well as examining how I am doing physically and treats me based on all the information. Having that awareness, along with acupuncture treatments and herbs I have become much healthier." Elizabeth S., Raleigh, NC

	"I wanted to thank you again for all your wonderful support getting me prepared for pregnancy. I think it made a tremendous difference; I'll never know for certain, but I'd guess it would have been very difficult for me to now have a child without your efforts. If you are interested, here's a link to some additional pictures of our son. (I have to laugh that I didn't know that the picture of me below would also be destined to show up on the Kodak site's advertising blitz; just what everyone wants -- a mug with my belly on it!! Anyway, thanks for all you do for me and so many others. Big hug and lots of admiration" K.B. Durham, NC

	"This was an email communication from a patient to her western medical physician: "I thought you might like to see a picture of my daughter born recently. It is really too long of a story for email-- but my healing journey started with my appointments with you and your suggestions of seeing several other people. Over the past 3 yrs, I've received acupuncture off and on to build up my immune system and get rid of my chronic sinusitis and sore throat that I had for a year and a half. Even though I had another miscarriage in the fall of 04 the physical healing from that was much easier and I was able to recover from that physically and even emotionally better. But I would say if you asked me last January if I would have a baby this January, I would have been rather doubtful that it would happen. But then by some miracle I think we conceived on my husband's 40th birthday. This time I had my pregnancy monitored by the reproductive endocrinology group at UNC, got acupuncture and herbs for a few weeks early in the pregnancy for miscarriage prevention and had a healthy pregnancy. I also did the acupuncture program during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy to prepare my body for a smooth labor and had my pelvis aligned by my chiropractor and I prayed. A Lot! The practitioner at OHS is very good and I thank you for telling me about the clinic! My delivery on New Year's Eve couldn't have gone better-- I worked with a doula and had another totally natural childbirth (my third) after having a C-section in '97 with my first child. But this was the smoothest labor by far. This labor went fast-- I only had about 1 hr of tough contractions and then my daughter basically jumped out of me-- she popped her head and shoulders out before my doctor was even there. Her birth has brought so much healing to me and to my whole family and I feel incredibly grateful. Best wishes to you for the New Year!" B. F., Chapel Hill, NC

	"Greetings from NY! Thought I would drop you a note just to let you know that I am doing well. Thank you so much for treating me. You changed my life! Anyway, I hope you're well." Love, M. S., (moved to NY)

	"I just loooove getting treatments. Not only do they help my arthritis but they are sooo relaxing. I hardly notice the needles going in and then, right after the needles go in, I feel this total relaxation coming over me that feels so nourishing, I can hardly describe it. I feel like I am in a trance state." A wonderful feeling!, A. J.Durham, NC

	"I just wanted to thank you for your time and attention today. I feel as though I have made a very positive step toward giving my body the attention it has been demanding. Thank you for your concern and your care; I know I am in good hands." I'll see you soon, regards, S. R

	"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of your assistance. Your kind manner and open ears really helped me to get my body in balance and accomplish my goals. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and feeling great. I had some problems with bleeding but after my most recent ultrasound my baby is fine. Thanks again for everything and I wish the best for you and all of your patients. I'm sure I'll see you in the future." God Bless, J. S., Roxboro, NC

	"I hope all is well with you. I think about you often and I am so thankful for everything you did for John and I. Being a mother is so much more than I ever imagined. Our daughter is such a blessing. John and I are so fortunate to have her in our lives. She is doing very well. Growing, playing, laughing and making every moment so precious. She is growing so fast and looks like a little girl. John mentioned he stopped by to see you a few months ago when I was interviewing for a new job. I am so glad you were able to see our cutie. I did get the job and my work schedule is much more conducive to having a family than public accounting. Since I switched jobs, I have to switch doctors. I am so upset about having to leave my original doctor that referred me to you. They were absolutely wonderful throughout my whole pregnancy. Do you have a recommendation for a new OB/GYN that you work with that accepts my insurance? I know not all doctors believe in alternative medicine and I want to make sure my new doctor does because I am confident that what you did for us resulted in our beautiful daughter." Thank you, M. and J. E., Mebane, NC

	"I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in December of 2003. After surgery, I received the traditional treatment - chemotherapy and radiation. Eleven months after completing that treatment the cancer was back. Remembering the unpleasant side effects of the earlier chemo (low red and white blood counts, lack of energy, nausea and digestive problems), I decided to pursue Oriental medicine as a complementary treatment. This was done with the complete support of my oncologist. We focused the treatment (acupuncture, herbs, diet, etc.) on improving my general health during chemotherapy and countering the negative side effects. We paid special attention to my immune system and were able to keep my white blood counts high enough that I did not get sick or have to skip any chemo treatments. My overall energy and well being have been amazing. I would highly recommend the use of Oriental medicine as a complement to traditional medical treatment." V.F March 2006

	"I was diagnosed with lung cancer November 2003 and began chemotherapy in February 2003. During treatment, at the urging of my daughter who had greatly benefited from acupuncture, I made an appointment with Ken Morehead. He was very thorough in learning about me - my symptoms, my strengths and weaknesses, my history. Ken Morehead was extremely knowledgeable about whole body healing and the importance of the immune system. I truly believe that acupuncture played a key role in my immune system staying strong through 4 months of chemotherapy. I continue to periodically go for acupuncture and I continue to do well as a cancer survivor." Thank you, Ken Morehead, and thank you Oriental Health Solutions! J. M. S., April 6, 2006

	"When I was diagnosed with my cancer, I was distraught. I was petrified of the upcoming chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. I knew nothing about acupuncture but went to see Dagmar at the suggestion of a friend. My husband stayed with me after Dagmar put the needles in and says my face relaxed for the first time since the diagnosis and then my body relaxed. He says my spirits improved from that moment forward. After my 4th week of radiation therapy and the 2nd week of in-patient chemotherapy, I was so nauseous that I could keep nothing down. The meds my doctors gave me did little to improve my nausea and I was becoming weaker and battling dehydration. I was hospitalized an extra time just to deal with the nausea and dehydration. Dagmar changed all this by putting needles in my wrists. The nausea disappeared immediately. We worked out a way to keep tiny needles in place and I began to regain my strength" V. P., April 2006

	"Here's my story. Six months ago, I was diagnosed with a very early stage breast cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ), for which it was recommended I have a lumpectomy and a six week course of radiation. After the first surgery, I had to have a re-incision, to make the margin around the tissue that was removed and the rest of the breast tissue wider. At the same time, I was bitten by a tick and contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. After the acute stage of this painful infection abated, I began the radiation treatments on my breast. I truly do not know how I would have made it through both surgeries, the radiation and recovered from the tick-borne disease with out the benefit of acupuncture and other advice from OHS. I had a remarkably rapid recovery from all of these conditions. Thanks to the acupuncture treatments, nutrition advice and a nutritional supplement recommended by a practitioner @ OHS, I experienced less fatigue that many other breast cancer patients. And compared to the other patients I met in the radiation waiting room, I also experienced much milder side effects from the radiation. In fact, my skin never burned, I had no lymph edema and was able to carry on almost normally throughout the six week radiation treatment period. In addition, my recovery from the RMSP was remarkably rapid. I've read and been told by others who had this illness or knew someone who had it, that recovery can take years. I'm pretty much back to my normal functioning and energy levels after six months. Acupuncture and electronic stimulation have also aided in the process of weaning my body off of the powerful narcotic pain medicines that were necessary in the first few months for both recovery from the breast surgery and the RMSF. I am absolutely convinced by my own experiences, that acupuncture and the knowledge of the practitioner helped my body both meet and recover from some very serious challenges much more rapidly than would otherwise have been possible. I am grateful to OHS for the knowledge and assistance that have helped me return to an active and productive life style." N. S. O'D., Durham, NC

	"Oriental medicine has helped me through two different series of chemotherapy treatments (the most recent for 9 months, 24 treatments) and four surgeries for ovarian and breast cancer since 2002. I was skeptical at first, but now I am a believer in these practices that have evolved over millennia. There is no doubt in my mind that acupuncture and Chinese herbs have practically negated the adverse side effects of chemo for me. I have never once vomited, the fatigue has been manageable, and my doctors are amazed that my blood counts remained nearly normal. Chemotherapy admittedly is not a walk in the park, but Oriental medicine as a complimentary approach to Western medicine has allowed me to stay active and live my life during my treatments. The practitioners at OHS are competent, caring, and compassionate professionals. I am deeply grateful for their experience and expertise." A. B., Durham, NC

	"Happy New Year! I hope this card finds you well. I've meaning to mail this check for weeks now. I am sorry it's so tardy. Our little boy is miraculously still in my belly. We've named him Abel for his strength and endurance. I hope you're doing well and please know how much I appreciate all of your love and support throughout this pregnancy." Love, B. and F. B.

	"It was such a pleasure seeing you today...and my daughter adored you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And as I sit here on my computer I continue to feel my gratitude...because for the last 8 months I would sit here and be overwhelmed with coughing from the particulates from the new attic and unfinished "secret" room attached to our office.....THANK YOU!!! So, do you have a super nutritive recipe for beef broth?????? Or how about super delicious and super nutritive (and please don't tell me to add eyes of newt, or liver or tongue or anything like that...that just ain't ever gonna happen no matter how nutritive)... Thanks so much and have a blessed weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " In gratitude, J. B., Chapel Hill, NC

	"It seemed miraculous. After my very first acupuncture session I experienced a quantum leap of improvement both in reduced pain and increased mobility in my "bad" shoulder. Progress has continued with longer intervals between treatments. Whenever I mentioned another kind of ache the OHS practitioner took care of it. Her concern with my whole person and her helpful suggestions have given me more energy and better overall health. I feel very fortunate to have lucked into this Oriental approach to health care. P.S. I am over eighty!" G. F., Chapel Hill, NC

	"Thank you again for talking with me on Friday. You were very kind and generous to offer your time and support, and I appreciate your being in my network of super women! I hope to see you some time in June after the surgery." Kind regards, J.G., Chapel Hill, NC

	“I’ve been interested in health and healing since I can remember and for that reason chose to go to medical school to become a physician. Perhaps because of a mixture of my upbringing, my culture, and my own personal bent of mind, I’ve also been drawn to Eastern medicine – and especially Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Due to this interest I’ve exposed myself to numerous practitioners in the field of health, both as a patient and as a medical student, to both Eastern and Western philosophies, to both alternative and allopathic medicine; I have observed physicians, nurses, herbalists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, craniosacral practitioners, chiropractors, and the list goes on. I have observed the myriad ways that people can be helped back to health and am continually awed by the healing process. But I must say that the practitioners at Oriental Health Solutions left me especially impressed. Their knowledge base of Chinese and Japanese medicine is immense and their practice of it is thorough – unlike any I have seen to date: and I have had the opportunity to observe several practitioners of Chinese medicine. They contain the perfect amalgam of heart and mind and use both in treating their patients. It is clear after talking with their patients that not only do they offer sincerity and compassion in their practice, but they also get results – and often when other avenues have proved unsuccessful. They are a group that is dedicated to education, both personally and globally. I am grateful for this and their willingness to share their time and experience with me as a student. I hope that other students after me can take away what I was able to and can benefit from being exposed to such a beautiful healing practice.” Sheila Natarajan, 4th year UNC medical student

	Just wanted to give you an update: My wife planned on coming back and seeing you, but we ended up having our baby early. We can't thank you enough for the help you gave us in getting and staying pregnant. I've included a picture of the little guy. He's doing fantastic. Thank you so much! J. T., Durham, NC

	Just thought you should know that eating fat with my meals is working like a charm. I have been eating like you suggested with all my meals and have not experienced heartburn since Tuesday, when I spoke to you. I am also drinking the special juice you recommended. My husband wanted to know if he could come in close to the time I am coming in on December 29th, I think my appointment is in the morning at 9 or 10. Thank you for all your great advice, it feels good not to have heartburn. All my best, S.L., Chapel, NC

	Merry Christmas! Here is a new photo of our son. He is a constant joy. Thank you again for your assistance in bringing him here. R.K. and R.R., Chapel Hill, NC

	We forgot in the rush of the moment to exchange email addresses so I can order more pills when needed. I have clearly seen relief from most of the pain and 99% of the sinus blockage. I have not taken nose spray once since your treatment and the pills. Thank you so much for finding a better way to treat medical problems naturally. They work without the side effects. I hope to get back for another treatment very soon. A. M. Durham, NC

	I just had to write and let you know that the treatment worked! After I got home yesterday evening, I pumped milk and immediately noticed a strong stream coming from the right breast that was unusual as of late, and sure enough, the entire breast started emptying and is completely unblocked. Last night, I got the best sleep I'd had since giving birth. Thank you so much for helping me. So far, the breast is continuing to work well. The left breast is also doing well, although I may want to focus on it either Monday or in a later treatment, since it does have one or two small lumps that come and go. Hope you are having a great weekend and will see you Monday morning. Regards, A. B., Chapel Hill, NC

	I went to the meditation at the Temple after your treatment yesterday and had the best meditation of my life. Thank you so very much for all the help on all the levels you are giving me. M.T., Carrboro, NC

	Wow. Today (Wednesday) I feel like a completely new man! I have run errands, washed my car, taken down the outside Christmas lights (!!!!!), cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom... and I'm still going strong. This is the kind of day that usually only Prednisone can produce!! :) All my anxiety is gone, and what a beautiful day for that to happen. My lungs still feel a bit off, but mostly my body has relaxed, and obviously is full of energy. Hey, I'm going back outside to enjoy more of this. Thanks again, J.W., Durham, NC

	I hope your week is going well. I just wanted to touch base with you with some rather surprising development. When I saw you last week, I told you I was premenstrual. Well, those symptoms went away and this morning was my 18th day since ovulation with my temperature remaining very high. So I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! You can imagine my surprise after 3 ½ years of trying and 3 failed IVF cycles! My husband says you must have quite the magic touch!!! We're obviously excited and rather stunned but we're trying not to get carried away until we see what happens. I was just wondering whether you suggest I continue taking the herbs you gave me or should I stop? Thanks! L.B., Cary, NC

	My practitioner @ OHS is most knowledgeable and caring - I value every aspect of my care. My practitioner is sensitive, thorough, and is totally present when she is treating me. I trust her implicitly. Thank you for your effective, thoughtful, and thorough attention to my healthcare. M.N., Apex, NC

	My practitioner is/has been such a blessing to me; Acupuncture is one of the few therapies that is helpful for my various health issues. My practitioner is highly skilled and compassionate. D.C., Chapel Hill, NC

	My practitioner has been a great support as we go through the process of having a baby. Sessions with her are always a pleasure and provide relief from whatever ails me. C.J., Durham, NC

	During my first visit, my practitioner must have talked to me for an hour about my health and diet and never rushed. She is patient with explanations. Best of all, I feel like I am being listened to carefully. She has twice returned my phone calls for advice promptly - good customer service. A.B.A., Chapel Hill, NC

	My practitioner aims to help make one well and communicate with clients regarding further treatments and suggestions as to reaching the goal of wellness. He always explains how the new methods are designed to work and is so willing to spend time studying new methods in an effort to help me. M.M., Raleigh, NC

	I love my practitioner. I have only positive comments and thoughts. I am very thankful to have met him. He has helped my husband and children as well. I like how he balances what he knows with Western medicine when appropriate. I trust him and believe in what he does, and have had positive results for myself and family members. I told him I wished we could "clone" him. He is particularly sensitive to and insightful about my work demands, partly because of his background, but I can tell it's more than that. He has been very helpful and supportive in my process of beginning a lifestyle change to lose weight. In addition to my own experience, I know that the friend who recommended OHS had done a lot of research about other options and she thought he helped her. S.G., Durham, NC

	My practitioner is clearly dedicated to what she does and eagerly shares her knowledge as well as willing to research what she doesn't know. I have been happy with the results so far. J.Z., Wake Forest, NC

	Increased ability to move, bend and walk. The treatments have increased my daily movements without pain! K.W., Hillsborough, NC

	My practitioner is knowledgeable, warm, considerate, insightful - a real pleasure to work with. She is so knowledgeable and organized, she knows exactly what to do and is sensitive to what I need. G.Y., Durham, NC

	I have always had the feeling that I was being heard and thoroughly examined. I never felt like I was being rushed in and out and given a generic solution. She is a wonderful care-focused practitioner. She always answers my questions without laughing or making me feel silly. She makes my weeks liveable and her own positive energy helps to center me. The level of treatment, quality of care, and results far exceed any other treatment I've ever had. She is a competent caring professional and excellent teacher. Very considerate and interested in my wellbeing! B.F., Durham, NC

	My practitioner @ OHS recommended the Bone Broth Soup which gave me (as a caregiver) the ability to do something tangible to help my husband nutritionally when he simply couldn't eat solid foods. This was and continues to be a source of relief for me that he is getting. As his caregiver I see a difference within a day or so of acupuncture - overall, more energy and nausea decreases. B.W., Chapel Hill, NC

	I thought you might like to see the "end result" of our efforts over the past 2 years. Mission accomplished! Our daughter is a true joy and is doing really well. Thank you so very much for all of your good care & help in all phases of planning for, carrying & delivering the baby. I truly think the reason I had such a good experience all along the way was in large part due to your care. Once I emerge from the all consuming parenthood of the first few months I'm sure I'll be back in touch. I'd love to touch base about how best to manage/time overall health maintenance. All best wishes and a warm hug! R.G., Chapel Hill, NC

	I don't know if you remember me, but I met with you just once about a year ago, and had recently talked about returning. I didn't return for several reasons- none of which were my being dissatisfied in any way with your practice. In fact I believe the advice you gave me about diet and continuing to take vitex and evening primrose were crucial. I also considered and began researching PCOS since you said my symptoms were consistent and to help regulate my sugar I added cinnamon to the two supplements above and I just found out I am pregnant. After 3 years of trying I feel much healthier and I feel like you were an important part of the path that got me here. Thanks and best of luck to you! J.L., Durham, NC

	Everyone is doing well in our house, especially the twins. They continue to grow quickly and in great health. They're moving around now as expected, experimenting with fruits and veggies, and exploring everything. They're both still nursing several times per day. They love love love their big sister and she does very well with them having really embraced the idea of being their 'teacher.' We're in an exceedingly walkable neighborhood and rarely use the car. I've attached one of the latest pictures of the little ones for you to see. As far as I'm concerned, I'll always believe they're little ones that you helped create. Thank you. D.B., Washington, DC

	I am delighted to report to you that 9 days after his acupuncture treatment, and after starting CoQ 10, my father feels better than he has in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with his assessment that this is partly because he has finally been relieved of the ongoing care of my mother, who has advanced alzheimer's. But listen to this: He has not had an appetite in years!!!!!!!!!!!! And now he does!!! And he was able to work outside in the garden for 5 hours straight last week. Pretty good for an 83 year-old with heart failure... THANK YOU, Oriental Health Solutions! K.T., Durham, NC

	Just wanted to thank you for your attention for our babysitter yesterday. She is with my boys again this afternoon and she looks so much happier today than she did yesterday! She is thrilled with how well she felt after she left you, and can't say enough good things about you. I think she is already recommending you to all her friends! Anyway, I appreciate it. I have been watching her go through this pregnancy, trying to slip in a word here and there about diet, but I haven't felt very effective. She has been a lovely (though lately not very energetic!) babysitter for my boys. C.F., Chapel Hill, NC

	"It was nice meeting with you yesterday; that was by far the most interesting and uplifting doctor visit I have had so far! Thank you!." M.K., Chapel, NC

	"I can't thank you enough for your incredible information yesterday - I was able to pick the other things up at Whole Foods yesterday. Thank you for the dietary and shopping brochures I look forward to reading them!! See you in September." Many Many thanks again!! M. C., Cary, NC

	I would like to extend many, many thanks to you for the care you extended to me yesterday. I greatly appreciate your help and kindness you showed me. Upon entering the building, you were at my side placing the magnets where you deemed necessary and then you did the rest of the treatment. I must be the patient who breaks a record concerning the time and care given!!!! But then there is no measure in this..... Also a thank you to your other OHS practitioner, whose attentiveness struck me greatly. Please give my best regards. I spent the day resting which was the most appropriate way to let the treatment be absorbed by my physical and etheric body. The house is quiet and I like the energies in it. Many appreciative thoughts are sent your way as well as those of gratitude for having helped me over the "hump". Love , B.F., Chapel Hill, NC

	Thanks a lot for helping me survive a rough period for the last 3 years. I am finally beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. I am planning to come in for treatment next month. Will keep you posted. Thanks again. Could not have made it without you!! P. O., Durham, NC

	Otherwise, I'm feeling fine, great really - I keep telling people how much better I feel after one year of working with you, and my new diet! I must brag: after getting strep throat rather dramatically 2-3 weeks after my initial appointment with you Thanksgiving a year ago, and drastically changing my diet, I have not been sick once. I don't think in my entire life I've gone one year without at least a cold. I am so proud and delighted! and grateful to you. A. B., Durham, NC

	The good news is, the twins are doing GREAT!! Ultrasound shows they weigh about 5 lbs 11 oz and 5 lbs 9 oz, excellent since the 36 wk mark is tomorrow. Plus, my cervix is tight as a drum and these twins have actually risen UP in the birth canal. My docs are amazed. I attribute it to my acupuncture visits, the OB's can't think of anything that would cause it. So, no chance of the twins coming out anytime soon unless my water breaks. F. F., Raleigh, NC

	I can't be certain if the new herbs for my gallbladder are helping, but I can tell you I've only had minor discomfort - no pain - just once the past two weeks since I increased to a teaspoon twice daily. I have only a day or two left of the herbs. Could you make another batch? FYI - I saw my primary care physician about the gallbladder pain. She's Chinese and she seemed to recognize the herb list you provided to me, or at least she had no concerns. She referred me to a surgeon for a second opinion and I have an appt. She speculated that perhaps the polyp was giving me pain, but no way to be certain. She acknowledged that my diet sounded excellent (thank you!). Also, forgot to thank you for suggesting the combination of external solutions for my scalp line psoriasis. I continue to have problems as I have for years (it's much worse with dry winter heat), but this does help! A.C. Durham, NC

	I had to let you know that whatever swelling was on the end of my legs they actually now look and feel like feet! I am thrilled to report that my swelling is almost gone! Absolutely due to the one acupuncture treatment and the herbs - so thanks a million! Here are some pictures of our son - we just love him and enjoy him so much! Breastfeeding is going better too . See you soon. Hope all is well. J.J., Durham, NC

	You're so good to me and good for me... in many ways. Much appreciation, J. P., Durham, NC

	Wanted to let you know that the area drained fully during my next feeding, after massaging the areas you indicated. Thanks again for the great advice. Hopefully, this was a one off thing. I even gave up coffee after my session! I'll let you know if any problems crop up again so that I can get in for treatment. I'll continue with the massage points. The problem was on the medial breast, and there is definitely a tender spot in between them where you indicated to massage. Thanks so much, F.W., Chapel Hill, NC

	The herbs have been very effective. I immediately felt my sinuses draining and my lungs cleaning out. I am definitely feeling almost 100%. Hard to separate the Vit B from the herbs so I am continuing with both. Thank you and see you in March. P.F., Raleigh, NC

	Wanted to let you know that the treatment yesterday seems to have worked well. The left breast drained completely on my next feeding and both breasts have been flowing well over the last 24 hours. I am staying calm and cool (well, as much as can be) and drinking tea! Really appreciate your help. If trouble crops up again, I'll call for an appointment ASAP, and once I get settled into my job, I'll schedule one just for upkeep. Thanks, A. F., Raleigh, NC

	My mom thoroughly enjoyed seeing you last week. We are so blessed to have you in our lives, and so thankful for everything you have taught us! We are both eating, living, and feeling so much healthier because of you. Thank you for everything. I hope you had a nice weekend. A.C., Chapel Hill, NC

	Thanks for getting back to me on that so quickly. My mom wanted to make sure that I passed along the good news - the results came back on my new tests for everything that you wanted me to get and everything was completely normal!!! What a relief, especially for my worrisome mom! Thanks for everything...we love you! A.C., Chapel Hill, NC

	I'm grateful to you for the flu pack and your advice. I do believe that I "sweated it out" on Monday by superheating my bedroom and bundling up. It was uncomfortable, but apparently effective. I'm feeling fine today. Many thanks, A.F., Durham, NC

	I wanted to let you know that at the 33 week ultrasound today, the baby was head down. Hooray!! So my question is: how much moxa should I still be doing? Thanks for all your help! A.K., Durham, NC
