Bob is a skeptic when it comes to Holistic Treatments.
The first thing he said to me was, “Why would I even see a doctor if I feel well?”In the West this is the norm. There isn’t much emphasis placed on Preventive Medicine; or keeping your Immune System Healthy!
As far as Acupuncture; he tried a treatment once and he said, “It didn’t work!” LOL! Try going to the gym once or twice and expect to have a body that’s in good shape. It’s not going to work! Getting a treatment once or twice may help a bit, but it’s not going to cure your ailments.
Bob is a bright guy, trained as an Engineer and has a real analytical mind. According to him there is no way putting a needle in someone’s body can help them get better unless it is a placebo effect. After our discussion I didn’t hear from him for about 6 weeks or so, and then it happened……….
Moving a heavy piece of equipment at his shop; Bob ‘threw out’ his back! Of course he went to his doctor and was prescribed pain pills and anti-inflammatory. He took the medicine religiously for 3 weeks and the results were far from what he expected. Bob developed stomach problems from the anti-inflammatory and brain fog from the pain medicine.
That’s when his best friend asked him to call me. He called to ask a few questions then he said that he had a hard time letting go of things, but was open to hear to hear my thoughts.
Bottom line; he is still in pain and isn’t interested in surgery at all. Here is what my break recommendations were……..
When I see a New Patient I typically schedule them for a series of Six Treatments, once or twice a week; with no missed appointments. This approach is effective and gives the body a chance to heal rather then just managing a disease or pain. We call actually eliminate it once and for all!
Bob is the perfect candidate for Acupuncture. The problems he described made perfect sense from a Chinese Medicine point of view. In Chinese Medicine they figured out that we all have an Energetic System that runs through the entire body; channel by channel.
These channels are referred to as Meridians and they carry the Chi throughout the body.
When everything is running smoothly, our bodies perform at Optimal Strength with the ability to naturally HEAL itself!

I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth & Happiness!
