PSORIASIS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBS | RED FLAKING SKIN | AUTO IMMUNE CONDITION
I have had psoriasis since I was 13 years old. It was itchy, flakey, red and noticeable. I first got it on my scalp which lead to hair loss. Then after a few years, the psoriasis was on my skin, back and arms... I went to modern medicine since my early teens, and they gave me all kinds of drug medications, oils and creams, but the psoriasis would always come back. There were no results from 6-7 years of drug medicine treatments... I began treatments with acupuncture and herbal medicine... I started getting healthier and my skin started clearing up. I noticed a difference in April - 4 months after starting treatments. Finally, my skin is soft and healthy! I am now able to go out without red or flaking skin, and I have gotten more compliments. I have more energy and I am feeling better about myself. - A.D., Tustin, CA
HOW IS PSORIASIS TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE?
PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that accelerates the life cycle of the skin cells. They cause the dead skin to buildup on the surface, leading to red lesions with thick silvery scale patches. Psoriasis is commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalps, lower back, face, palm, and soles of feet, but they may show up anywhere. Psoriasis tends to flare up for a few weeks or months, and then subsiding from time to time. People with psoriasis also have other serious health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and depression.
PSORIASIS SYMPTOMS
Depending on the severity of the condition, symptoms of psoriasis may vary in each individual. The most common symptoms include red patches covered with thick, silvery scales, small scaling spot, dry, and cracked skin. Psoriasis can feel itchy, burning, or soreness. They may have swollen and stiff joints.
Risk Factors are:
Having one or both parents with psoriasis.
Weak immunity
Obesity
Smoking
TREATMENT FOR PSORIASIS
There is no cure for psoriasis. Psoriasis can be treated by topical treatments, light therapy, and systemic medications. Several topical creams and ointments help reduce inflammation, relieve itching, promote sloughing of dead skin, and slow down skin cell growth for individuals with mild to moderate psoriasis. Light therapy uses natural or artificial ultraviolet light to expose skin cells to light. Light therapy helps slows skin cell turnover and reduces scaling and inflammation in an individual with mild to moderate psoriasis. Systemic treatments help treat individuals with severe psoriasis. Oral or injected medication helps decrease skin cell production and suppresses inflammation. Not all treatments are intended for long term use due to serious side effects.
ACUPUNCTURE TO BENEFIT PSORIASIS
Acupuncture and herbal medicine induce homeostatic response on the cellular level by influencing the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. They stimulate the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulation system. Acupuncture helps psoriasis by correcting the production of T cells and white blood cells, reduce inflammation, and improve their quality of life. Acupuncture is safe and painless. There are no drugs or hazardous equipment used, and no surgical operation performed.
CASE STUDIES:
Testimonials and before and after images on Agape Natural health have proven acupuncture and herbal medicine has successfully treated patients with psoriasis. Their patient suffered from psoriasis that had spread throughout the years, and creams, ointments, and medications helped, but their symptoms returned. After receiving acupuncture treatment from Agape Natural Health, here is what they had to say.
"I have had psoriasis since I was 13 years old. It was itchy, flakey, red and noticeable. I first got it on my scalp which lead to hair loss.

ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBAL MEDICINE FOR AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE | EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS | HYPERTHYROID | ANEMIC | HIGH CHOLESTEROL
DR. HUANG IS A WONDERFUL HEALER | HE IS ALSO A GENUINELY GOOD MAN | AUTO-IMMUNE CONDITION | EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS | HYPERTHYROID | ANEMIC | HIGH CHOLESTEROL
Every time we went in, we had so many questions for Dr. Huang, and he was always so patient and kind in answering us. He even took phone calls (so many calls!), and always understood our concerns. Just over a month of acupuncture, taking herbs and eating the foods Dr. Huang suggested, her rash was fading and her ankles were normal. She took blood tests and her thyroid level was normal for the first time in a year! No medications were necessary. Her iron was also normal even after stopping iron supplements-just changes in diet and getting her system healthy with acupuncture and herbs. Her low white blood cell count showed that she was still fighting the virus, which was also apparent as her energy was still low, and so we continued treatment. She slowly got back into working out with volleyball, but had to take it easy. In two and a half months, she would be leaving to the university where she would play volleyball. I was afraid she would need more time to heal after all her body had been going through, but Dr. Huang believed he could get her healthy by then.
Her next blood test was another month later, and at that point her cholesterol was down to
147. It went down over 50 points even after Dr. Huang had her add organic beef to her diet to help her iron. I asked him how it could be over 200 when she was practically a vegetarian and yet drop so much when she started eating beef. Dr. Huang explained that acupuncture and herbs were helping her liver function properly, which is a greater factor in cholesterol than just diet. The fact that my daughter was feeling better told me acupuncture was working, but seeing the blood tests was proof that it was really healing her inside. The patch of hair she had lost also started growing back, and her tonsils were getting smaller than they'd been in a year.
AUTOIMMUNE| EBV | HYPERTHYROID | ANEMIC | HIGH CHOLESTEROL
“She continued getting stronger and after almost 4 months of seeing Dr. Huang, she was well-just in time to go off to USC where she is playing volleyball. She is fully back to playing and feels as strong as she was before she got sick.”
My 17-year-old daughter is an accomplished athlete who competes at a high level. At 16 she started having some health issues. Her blood tests showed that she had hyperthyroidism. Doctors wanted to put her on medication that would ultimately force her to be on medication for the rest of her life. We knew she was too young and otherwise healthy to do that, so we took her to a natural doctor who put her on vitamins to help her health improve.
About a year later, she lost a small patch of hair and we went back to the natural doctor to see what might have caused that. He took blood tests again and her thyroid was still hyper. Also her iron was low and he said she was anemic. She was often tired, but we thought it was from all the volleyball training. So she started taking iron to see if that would improve things. Strangely, her cholesterol was also high (over 200) even though she was practically a vegetarian. And her tonsils were always swollen.
After a few weeks on the iron, she came home from a volleyball tournament with swollen ankles. She thought she had double sprained ankles. Within a couple days, a dark red rash showed up on her ankles and spread up her legs to her knees. We took her to a dermatologist and he said it looked like an autoimmune response. At that point, she was also feeling really weak and she could barely walk with her swollen ankles. My husband researched her symptoms and we realized there was no known Western cure for what she was experiencing. There was only thyroid medication and steroids to reduce the symptoms, but nothing to actually heal her. So we looked up non-Western approaches to treating an autoimmune disorder, and we found Dr. Huang.
We went in scared and confused, watching our strong, healthy daughter in such a weak state. Dr. Huang seemed so confident that he could help her. He believed she had a virus (probably Epstein Bar) and her body had been fighting it since she first started not feeling well a year before. That was why her tonsils were always swollen. The virus finally took over and the autoimmune response was her immune system over-fighting until it actually attacked her own body.
In the beginning of treatment, her hands also started to swell and the rash looked like it was tying to come through on her arms, but acupuncture seemed to keep it from breaking out the way her legs did. She remained really weak the first couple weeks, but acupuncture did stabilize her. Every time we went in, we had so many questions for Dr. Huang, and he was always so patient and kind in answering us. He even took phone calls (so many calls!), and always understood our concerns.
Just over a month of acupuncture, taking herbs and eating the foods Dr. Huang suggested, her rash was fading and her ankles were normal.

The patch of hair she had lost also started growing back, and her tonsils were getting smaller than they'd been in a year.
She had a couple set backs along the way, but Dr. Huang was always there to help her through. She continued getting stronger and after almost four months of seeing Dr. Huang, she was well-just in time to go off to USC where she is playing volleyball. She is fully back to playing and feels as strong as she was before she got sick.
Watching my daughter go through this brought on stress like I'd never felt before. I couldn't eat. I lost 10 pounds and ended up getting an ulcer. My digestive system was a mess and that led to hemorrhoids that wouldn't heal. I knew that if Dr. Huang could heal what my daughter had just gone through, he could heal me. And he did with acupuncture and herbs, I also got better.
Dr. Huang is a wonderful healer, and he is also a genuinely good man. He always keeps such a positive, encouraging attitude. He is unlike any doctor I've been to before, and I think it's because he finds such joy in what he does. He loves to heal people and he truly honors God with his good work. Also, the staff at the office is always so friendly and kind, and they are just as pleasant and helpful on the phone. It's a pleasure to see them each time we go in. We are grateful to have found all the good people at Agape Acupuncture, and we feel so blessed that we were led to this special doctor who healed our daughter.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS | SEVERE DIARRHEA AND BLEEDING | AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBS
I CANT IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT NATURAL MEDICINE | AUTO IMMUNE CONDITION | ULCERATIVE COLITIS | SEVERE DIARRHEA AND BLEEDING | HERBAL MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE
My Dad saw an article in the paper for Natural Medicine and made an appointment for me to see Dr. Huang. When I first arrived I was miserable and was sick of seeing doctors and just wanted to be healthy again. When we sat down with Dr. Huang and he laid out a plan to get me back on track. I started doing acupuncture and taking herbs and had to fully change my diet. I knew it was going to be hard but in the end it was all going to be worth it. I went to acupuncture 2-3 times a week and continued to take my herbs until I was 17.
I can’t imagine my life without natural medicine. The medical staff was reassuring, friendly, kind and supportive. I didn’t expect these results but I feel very blessed by them. At first my family and friends couldn’t believe it and then a big sigh of relief that something was finally working. I praise God for the healing that has gone on in my body and can’t thank Dr. Huang and natural medicine enough for how they have changed my life.
I truly believe that God is working through my Christian brother Dr. Kevin Huang. Thank you God for Dr. Kevin Huang and his amazing team.

My Name is Austin. I am 19 years old and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2006 when I was 12 years old. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an Auto-Immune Disease that attacks the colon and causes severe diarrhea and bleeding.
My Mom and Dad took me to many specialist doctors and all of them said that there is no cure for UC and they all wanted get me on Drugs! One doctor even recommended to have my colon removed. Yes – at 12 years old.
After my colonoscopy and diagnosis I ended up on medical steroids. The side effects of steroids are horrible (Major Face Swelling, acne, weight gain, etc..) We were not satisfied with what the doctors were saying and doing. We prayed and asked God to help us find a treatment. We found Dr. Kevin Huang and The Natural Medicine Center: Praise God for them!

PSORIASIS SYMPTOMS
Plaque Psoriasis is a widespread type of psoriasis. It characterized by thick plaque, patchy, red rashes. The rashes are oval to circular in shape; with white, silvery scales. Psoriasis often shows up on the lower back, elbows, scalp and knees. This chronic inflammatory skin condition is not contagious. aq Various types of Psoriasis are (eg, Psoriasis, Nails; Guttate Psoriasis; Psoriatric Arthritis; Psoriasis, Pustular. Psoriasis is more prevalent in adults than in children.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Instead of fighting off invading pathogens, the immune system causes an inflammatory response and hyper proliferation of the skin cells occurs. The “T-cells” (white blood cells) become hyperactive attacking the skin; this causes the skin cells to multiply rapidly and they begin to form on the epidermis (surface layer of skin). Healthy skin cells develop, mature and every 30 days slough off. With plaque psoriasis, this process is 3-6 days; which causes the thick plaque formation of the skin cells. T-cells also form chemicals that heal the skin. These cells produce an unusual amount of the chemicals and result in more inflammation in the skin and joints. Psoriasis can appear like other skin conditions and this makes diagnosis of the disease difficult. A skin sample is taken and examined under a microscope.
TREATMENT USING MODERN MEDICINE
Management of psoriasis includes topical corticosteroids which aid as anti-inflammatory agents. These drugs suppress the immune system to slow down the growth of skin cells. Here are a few drugs used to treat Plaque Psoriasis; Anthralin, Vitamin D analogues, topical retinoids, calcineurin inhibitors. Methotrexate (also used to slow down cells that are rapidly growing in the body such as cancer cells, bone marrow cells and skin cells) is one of the oral drugs used in treating Plaque Psoriasis. Some side effects of this drug are nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, dizziness, tired feeling, headaches, bleeding gums and blurred vision. Although these drugs aid in the production of normal skin proliferation and are prescribed in various doses there are some side effects such as – photosensitivity (topical agents). UVB Therapy and Psoralen (oral) is a form of light therapy and oral drug to increase sensitivity to UVB light. This form of therapy is used to kill T-cells, which are the white cells invading the affected are of the skin causing inflammation. Precaution must be taken to ensure there is no sun burn in the areas the medication is applied.
ACUPUNCTURE TO BENEFIT PSORIASIS
Acupuncture causes the anti-inflammatory mechanisms to release and it reduces the redness associated with psoriasis. Acupuncture also reduces stress and anxiety which are triggers of psoriasis. Acupuncture is also safe because disposable sterile needles are used in the treatment of acupuncture. Also, there are no harmful or discomforting side effects such as those listed above for the treatment of psoriasis. There are also topical herbal creams and herbal supplement that can be used in the treatment of psoriasis and all are prescribed by a licensed acupuncturist. All herbs should be taken under the care of a Licensed Acupuncture to ensure maximum results and compliance. Natural medicine is used to treat the root of the disease and not the symptomatic manifestations of the underlying cause.
CASE STUDIES
The direction of treatment is to try and contain or deactivate T-cells that are causing the hyper proliferation in the skin. What triggers the activation of T-cells is not well understood. UVB light therapy and Psoralen (PUVB) is becoming a popular form of treatment for psoriasis. Just as there are side effects to oral drugs to manage Psoriasis studies show there is a risk for squamous cell cancer (SCC) and basal cell cancer (BCC).
“Exposure to more than 350 PUVA treatments greatly increases the risk of SCC,” the authors write. “The risks of SCC in long-term PUVA-treated patients should be considered in determining the risk of this therapy relative to other treatments for severe psoriasis.” – RobertS. Stern, MD
