HOW IS ASTHMA TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE? 

ASTHMA

Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways of the lungs. The bronchial tubes are sensitive, and it can easily be inflamed. When irritants trigger asthma, the bronchial tubes that carry oxygen into the lungs produce extra mucus. The excess mucus inflames and swells the airway causing the bronchial tubes to constrict, making it difficult for the individual to breathe. Asthma can worsen when fighting an infection, cold or flu. It can also interfere with individual daily activities and can lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. 

ASTHMA SYMPTOMS

Not everyone with asthma will experience the same symptoms. Some may have symptoms a few days out of the year, while others may have symptoms every day. Asthma symptoms include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chest tightness or pain, coughing, and wheezing. 

Risk Factors are:

Have an immediate family with asthma. 

Have another condition such as allergies, atopic dermatitis, obesity, respiratory infections, and wheezing. 

A smoker or had been exposed to environments such as secondhand smoke, exhaust fumes, or other types of pollution.

African Americans and Puerto Ricans have a higher risk of developing asthma. 

TREATMENT OF ASTHMA

There is no cure for asthma, but their symptoms can be controlled by treatment. Treatment for asthma varies by the person due to their age, symptoms, and asthma severity. Short-term treatment such as quick-relief medicine and allergy medication can provide temporary relief of symptoms. Quick-relief inhalers are inhaled directly into the lungs to open swollen airways during an asthma attack. Long-term medication is taken daily to prevent an asthma attack from occurring. Long-term medication is taken over some time to allow the easing of the airway inflammation and the prevention of mucus overproduction in the lungs. Emergency care treatment is for a severe asthma attack. Their treatment can consist of short-term treatment, long-term medication, and nebulizer, or intravenous. Depending on their severity, they may receive oxygen therapy or breathing assistance. 

ACUPUNCTURE TO BENEFIT ASTHMA 

Acupuncture helps asthma by inducing the homeostatic response on the cellular level. They influence the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in the nervous system to improve the circulation of energy through the meridians. Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will change the experience of sensory, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system. Acupuncture helps by releasing neurochemicals to relax the bronchial tubes from constricting and balance the production of mucus in the bronchial tubes. When an individual encounters irritants that may trigger an asthma attack, the airway will be clear of mucus to prevent an asthma attack from occurring. Acupuncture is safe and painless. There are no drugs or hazardous equipment used, and no surgical operation performed. 

CASE STUDIES:

According to HealthCMi CEUs, researchers have found that acupuncture is effective for relieving asthma symptoms. A randomized controlled test was conducted on 1,445 patients, and results showed that acupuncture provided lasting relief. The report states that "patient receiving acupuncture had marked reductions of allergic asthma during strenuous and moderate exercise, work and social activities, and during sleep. The overall quality of life scores for patients receiving acupuncture were significantly higher than patients in the control group receiving no acupuncture." Not only did acupuncture helped with their asthma, but researchers also noted that an individual had significant improvement in their quality of life. "After the three months of acupuncture treatments, patients had significant improvements in global quality of life scores and individual parameters such as symptoms, activities, emotions, physicality, and mental function." 

Also, there are several testimonials on Agape Natural health have proven acupuncture, and herbal medicine has successfully treated patients with asthma. Their patient had asthma that caused shortness of breath, asthma attacks, sinus infections, and hospitalization. After receiving acupuncture treatment from Agape Natural Health, here is what they had to say. 

"At 5 I was diagnosed with Asthma and have dealt with it ever since. My seasonal allergies triggered asthma attacks... I have been hospitalized and had many sinus infections and constant seasonal struggle with allergies. Breathing was difficult; affecting exercise and playing as a child - with allergies, runny nose, stuffy nose, itchy eyes, sinus infections and scratchy throat... I saw many Physicians from 1998 to present; tried holistic medicine and Chiropractic care. I took a lot of drugs with their unwanted side effects. I took Allegra-D, Flonase, Prednisone, Advair, Symbicort, Port-air an rescue inhalers. The Prednisone caused weight gain and the Pro-air caused shaking hands. I began taking these medications in 1998 and they only give me temporary relief of symptoms. I saw some benefits but not totally and was completely unsatisfied... I received acupuncture, herbal medicine with nutrition and dietary guidelines. The acupuncture sessions were pain free and went smoothly thanks to the great staff! I started feeling better round the end of the third week. I had fewer asthma and allergy episodes, higher energy and improved quality of life all around... This is my journey to freedom from asthma and allergies." - N.H., Mission Viejo, CA

"In 2010 I was diagnosed with COPD, Asthma and Bronchiectasis. In 2013 I got a cold and it never went away. Then in June of 2014, I was on oxygen and was devastated. I had shortness of breath, fatigue and was tired a lot. I was not able to do everything I used to and had to pick and choose where I could go because of the oxygen. My doctor and COPD doctor prescribed drugs such as Dorzolamide-Timolol, Latanoprost, Tiotropium, Albuterol, Azelastine and Aspirin. I had no treatment results from modern medicine... I felt very comfortable and began treatments with acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition. I am thrilled with the results! So happy! I have a better life. I have more energy to do everything I need to do. I don't use my inhaler as much and I'm staying healthy." - N.A., Santa Ana, California

PNEUMONIA A CHRONIC INFECTION THAT INFLAMES THE AIR SACS OF THE LUNGS | HEADACHES, PAIN IN THE EAR, NOSE AND THROAT | LOW ENERGY

PNEUMONIA WENT AWAY | CASE STUDY OF PATIENT D.H. FROM HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA | COUGH, CONGESTION, HICCUPS

On August 11, 2013, a patient came into Agape Natural Health seeking help because he was suffering from pneumonia, a chronic infection that inflames the air sacs of his lung. The patient found out he had pneumonia during his visit to the Orange County hospital for hiccups and coughs. The modern medicine doctor prescribed the patient with antibiotics and anti-inflammation to help with pneumonia. The patient took the prescription drugs for several weeks, but his health condition did not improve. He experienced more coughs and produced more mucus than before. His cough was so severe that it disturbed his sleep during the night. He became so congested that it gave him headaches and pain in his ear, nose, and throat that results in difficulty breathing. He would occasionally have the hiccups that would last for hours or even days. With all the conditions the patient experienced, it lowered his energy level causing him always to be tired. The antibiotic and anti-inflammation that the modern medicine doctor prescribed him did not elevate any of his pains or symptoms; it just made the condition worse. 

During his free 20 minutes consultation with Dr. Huang, the patient disclosed information about his condition. Dr. Huang recommended a combination of acupuncture treatments with natural herbal medicine to improve his health. The patient started treatment and natural herbal right away because he knew that western medicine did not help him with his pneumonia. A few days after his first treatment, we noticed his cough had decreased. The patient states that his ear and congestion has reduced from his initial consultation with Dr. Huang. As we treated the patients for his pneumonia, we also treated him for an autoimmune digestive disorder, shoulder pain, tight muscle, and weak ankle. Dr. Huang also recommends that the patient is placed on a special nutrition diet to promote his digestive health. As the patient progressively continued with his acupuncture treatment, we noticed a drastic change from when he initially came in with coughs, congestion, and hiccups.  After two months of acupuncture treatment at Agape Natural Health and continuous consumption of herbals medicine and nutritious guideline, his pneumonia went away. The patients' cough was gone allowing him to sleep better at night, his congestion cleared up and opened up his nasal, ears, and throat, his lungs were breathing better, he wasn’t experiencing any more headaches, his shoulder pain went away, leg muscle wasn’t tense, and his ankle got stronger. A combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition diet increased the patient quality of life by improving his body strength to live a healthier lifestyle.

LUNG NODULES | ALL THREE OF MY GROWTHS WERE ALL GONE | ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBS

3 LUNG NODULES | LARGE LUMPS | MIRACLES DO HAPPEN | BRONCHITIS | NAGGING COUGH | PNEUMONIA

“My doctor said he thought he had received the wrong CAT Scan, for all three of my growths were all gone. What unbelievable news, I am most blessed. Miracles do happen.” My illness has been a wonderful journey of faith and healing, especially with Dr. Huang’s caring and inspired methods of acupuncture and his supportive loving staff."

This January 2012, I was tired and worn out. Extra effort is always called for during Christmas holidays and with our son and his wife and four children living with us at that time we were running full speed. I developed a nagging cough and was diagnosed with Bronchitis – I was given 10 days of medication. Two weeks later, I was worse. I now had developed Pneumonia. More medication and complete bed rest was prescribed. January ended and February began with the third diagnoses of Pneumonia. Another prescription for medication and bed rest brought no relief. By the end of the week, I was admitted to the hospital for nine days.

The CAT Scan ordered on the seventh day was an easy procedure, but it revealed that I had two modified nodules on the right side of my lungs and one on the lower left side. It was impressed upon me that the lumps were very large. One was over a half inch in width and two were just under. Also, fluid was trapped in my lungs and a Bronchoscopy procedure was highly recommended. I am claustrophobic and was terrified. I am a Christian and have great faith as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or Mormons as we are nicknamed. I asked for a blessing from two of our priesthood holders and received wonderful words of comfort and peace. As promised in the blessing, the procedure was comfortable and went well. The Doctor was able to remove a large amount of fluid from my lungs and no further nodules were found.

My doctor recommended two suggestions for me to consider. I could wait two months, take another CAT Scan and compare the growth of the lumps or I could have a biopsy now to determine what the lumps were and begun treatment immediately. He explained the lumps could be just growths and remain with no change or they could be fungus related, and there was medicine for that. Of course, he said there was the possibility that they were cancerous; in which case, other methods would be discussed. I chose to wait, though my doctor wanted a more aggressive approach.

CAT SCAN REPORT - FEBRUARY 17, 2012 FINDINGS:
“There is a resulting atelectasis of the posterior basal aspect of both lower lobes, represented by homogeneous increased opacity and the fine branching air bronchograms. Poorly defined consolidation, suggesting pneumonial involving the superior segment of the left lingula is noted. In the right middle lobe, there are 2 noncalcified nodules, measuring 1.7 cm and 1.3 cm in the largest dimension. Another noncalcified nodule of the superior segment of the left lingula, close to the interlobar fissure, 1.4cm in diameter detected. There is no visible pleural effusion in either side.”

The first time I searched for an Acupuncturist, on the internet, I found Dr. Huang. This method of healing was suggested to me by a dear friend in Utah. With prayers, kindness, and constant loving treatments, miracles began taking place within my body. My third CAT Scan was taken May 27, 2012, a week later I received astonishing news. My doctor said he thought he had received the wrong CAT Scan, for all three of my growths were all gone. There are only indications where they used to be. He asked what I had been doing and I explained I was receiving acupuncture treatments to rebuild my immune system. He shook my hand, told me to keep doing what I’m doing and in 6 months he would follow through with another CAT Scan.

CAT SCAN REPORT - MAY 30, 2012 FINDINGS:
“Essentially negative CT study of chest. Complete resolution of pulmonary nodules, consolidations and atelectasis in both lungs, when compared to the last exam noted.”

What unbelievable news, I am most blessed. Miracles do happen. As I continue my treatments with Dr. Huang, and his kind staff to regain my full strength and health, I do so with a grateful heart.

I WAS SICK BUT NOW I'M HEALED | MIRACULOUS PROGRESS | GOD IS GOOD | LUNG CONDITION | POSSIBLE MALIGNANT CANCER | DIABETES

"After a week or two of getting acupuncture treatment and taking herbs, I started feeling better, relaxed, and stronger. My immune system got stronger as well. My friends and family are happy to know that I was recovering. I had increased energy and an improved quality of life."

I was diagnosed with possible malignant cancer in my lungs in January. Initially, I went to the doctor for a checkup because I had a fever. After 5 days of being sick, I went back to the doctor for another checkup and the doctor told me to get an X-Ray. The doctor found something wrong with my X-Ray and told me to come back. I then went back for the third time and got a CT scan, and my doctor recommended a Pulmonologist to me. The Pulmonologist then wanted me to get a biopsy and so I did, and that is when they found that I have possible malignant cancer in my lungs. The doctor diagnosed me and ran a series of tests, and referred me to a surgeon. The doctor examined me and found that I have lung infection. When I learned of my diagnosis, I was very worried and was not sure what to do so I prayed and prayed. I stopped working because I was too weak and worried; it was very draining.

I took drug medications that my Pulmonologist gave me. I did not have any surgery, only a biopsy. My wife's cousin then told us about Agape Acupuncture as she is a patient of Dr. Huang's and so I came in for a consultation and started getting treatment. The first time I came to Agape Acupuncture was on April 7th, 2017. What prompted me to come here was for good health, to strengthen my immune system, and have a change for my diet. I hoped to get stronger and be able to relax from all the worrying of my diagnosis. Thankfully, my friends and family are very supportive of acupuncture. My sister in law and wife plan to come here too after seeing my miraculous progress.

When I first came to the clinic, the staff was very welcoming, courteous, friendly and God-fearing. I have always been a firm believer in natural medicine before coming to Agape Acupuncture, but I was looking for a good one. I received acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition/dietary guidelines from Dr. Huang. The results were very good. When I started getting acupuncture, I felt better and was positive about herbs and acupuncture. After a week or two of getting acupuncture treatment and taking herbs, I started feeling better, relaxed, and stronger. My immune system got stronger as well. My friends and family are happy to know that I was recovering. I had increased energy and an improved quality of life. I feel very relaxed and good about the positive results.

The staff at Agape Acupuncture is very nice and friendly; the medical staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I prayed a lot and had a positive mindset. My friends and family are very happy to know about this miracle. I had diabetes, and changing my nutrition definitely helped with that. Agape Acupuncture has helped a lot of people with different kinds of diseases, and has definitely helped me with my lungs and diabetes. I will definitely refer my wife and sister-in-law because they have seen my progress and recovery after coming to Agape Acupuncture. I strongly believe that acupuncture and herbal medicine go side by side along with good diet. To the people that are skeptical of natural medicine, I recommend going for a consultation and getting all the right information first before judging. I definitely recommend Agape Acupuncture! I have received healing and was directed by God to come to Agape Acupuncture. I know that there are a lot of acupuncturists and herbalists, but God brought me here for a reason.
