AT AGAPE NATURAL HEALTH ORANGE COUNTY, WE TREAT HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBAL MEDICINE

HOW IS HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE?

HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS 

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate how the body uses its energy. When the thyroid gland is damaged, inflammation from Hashimoto's decreases the hormone production and slows down the body function. Inflammation from Hashimoto's often lead to hypothyroidism when left untreated. It can lead to health issues such as goiter, heart problems, mental health issue, myxedema, and congenital disabilities. 

HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS SYMPTOMS  

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a slowly progressing disease. There are usually no symptoms at first, but as the disease progress over the years, signs of swollen of the front neck may appear due to enlargement of the thyroid gland. They may experience a painless fullness feeling in the throat, tiredness, weight gain, joint and muscle pain, constipation, dry and thinning of hair, depression, and a reduced heart rate. 

Risk Factors are:  

Eight times more common in women than men

Can occur at any ages but appears more often between ages 40 and 60

Higher chance if another family member has Hashimoto's thyroiditis

More likely to develop if an individual has another autoimmune disease

MODERN MEDICINE TREATMENT OF HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS | DRUG MEDICINE

Treatment for Hashimoto's thyroiditis depends on the condition of the thyroid gland. If the thyroid does not show signs of hormone deficiency or have sufficient damage to trigger hypothyroidism, then the individual thyroid would be monitored for changes. However, if Hashimoto's disease has caused hormones deficiency, an individual may need synthetic thyroid hormone medication. Once an individual goes on thyroid hormones medication, they will be on it every day for the rest of their life. When a dosage is skipped or stopped, signs and symptom will slowly return. 

NATURAL MEDICINE HERBS AND ACUPUNCTURE TO BENEFIT HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS     

Acupuncture and herbal medicine induce homeostatic response on the cellular level by influencing the body’s internal organs to correct imbalances of the sensory stimuli in the nervous system. They stimulate 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 maintain homeostatic response by restoring the thyroid gland and improving their quality of life. Acupuncture is safe and painless. There are no drugs or hazardous equipment used, and no surgical operation performed.

S.R. SHARES STORY OF HOPE AND RECOVERY ON YELP | NATURAL MEDICINE WORKS | IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE | DR. KEVIN HUANG ACUPUNCTURE SOUTH COAST METRO, SANTA ANA | Agape acupuncture is great! Dr. Huang is awesome! He treated my dad a couple of years ago. My dad suffered depression because of his immune system being very low. I remember being in and out of the hospital because of his symptoms. He was unable to swallow liquids and food. He would get panic attacks and feel like he was unable to breathe. He would always be so tired and sometimes he would pass out. He lost weight do to him not being able to eat. He was scared to be alone so someone had to always be with him at all times. Doctors tests would come out fine. Many times they would just recommend a psychologist because they would say my dad was fine. That's when my dad walked in to see Dr. Huang, he immediately started treating him and my dad started to feel better. Today my dad is back to normal thanks to God first and for Dr. Huang who was always there for my family through that time. I learned a lot from the time my dad was recovering and learned that even though doctors might tell us we are fine, but if our bodies are not feeling well then there is something wrong. I became a firm believer in holistic medicine since then. Dr. Huang also treated my acne, something products did not do for me. I tried so many products and my face was getting dried and scarred. After treatment with Dr. Huang I stayed acne free majority of the time. I get one here and there now but nothing compared to what I use to have. The staff is amazing and the environment is relaxing!

NO MORE THYROID NODULES | FATIGUE | COLD | EXTREME EMOTIONS | NATURAL MEDICINE TREATS THYROID CONDITIONS SUCCESSFULLY | ACUPUNCTURE, HERBS AND NUTRITION

I was diagnosed with thyroid nodules, and was fatigued, cold, and extremely emotional and unable to think clearly. I experienced tightening around my thyroid area, and some days, I wasn't able to breathe very well. I came to Dr. Huang for treatment. His staff was very kind and professional, and he treated me with compassion and explained that I needed to come in for acupuncture several times a week. I also purchased tablets and teas. After treatments at Dr. Huang's office, I went in for an ultrasound and blood work, which came back normal and no sign thyroid nodules! I am very grateful for the compassionate care Dr. Huang and his staff have shown to me, and I would recommend Agape Acupuncture to anyone. They really are the best doctors around! Thank you, Dr. Huang!

GRAVE'S DISEASE HEALED THROUGH NATURAL MEDICINE | HYPERTHYROID DISORDER | PALPITATIONS AND TREMBLING IN MUSCLES | ANXIETY AND EXTREME FATIGUE

HEALED FROM GRAVE'S DISEASE, A THYROID DISORDER | I BEGAN TO FEEL LESS FATIGUED AND HAVE MORE ENERGY | MY ANXIETY AND NAUSEA STARTED TO SUBSIDE | I REGAINED MY ENERGY AND HEALTH

“After four months, which is the end of my treatments at the Natural Medicine Center, my blood test levels are all in the normal range and I was able to get off my drug medications! Was able to experience true healing without having to permanently remove my thyroid or take medications for the rest of my life!”

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism - Grave's Disease around 2 years ago. Initially, I feared that my illness would negatively change the quality of the rest of my life. I had the choice to get iodine treatment to kill my thyroid, get surgery, or take medication for a year or so and wait for improvement For the last option, there was always the chance that my illness could return, but with any of the options, I would most probably have to be on medication for the rest of my life. My initial choice was to get iodine treatment, but my parents' suggested we give the drug medications a chance before permanently removing my thyroid.

The illness caused heart palpitations and trembling in my muscles. I also felt hot even in cold environments and I lost a lot of weight and had shortness of breath. Along with these symptoms, I sometimes felt anxiety and was extremely fatigued most of the time. These symptoms definitely made it difficult to do many activities, especially since I was tired most of the time. My grades and my social life suffered because tasks took me longer to complete and I couldn't perform to the best of my ability. My illness also kept me from being active in sports because of heart palpitations and also limited my ability to play piano and sing because my hands and voice would tremble badly.

As prescribed by modern medicine, I took methimazole in varying dosages depending on my blood test results, and Atenolol for a short time to normalize my heartbeat. The possible side effects were itching, liver problems and decreased white blood cell count right before I decided to come to the Natural Medicine Center, the symptoms of my hyperthyroidism had been getting worse and we had come to the conclusion that the drug medications were no longer working. My mom had always suggested that we check out the Natural Medicine Center, but at first I was skeptical. However, since my condition only seemed to be getting worse, I decided to finally check out the Center with my Mom as a last resort before finally getting iodine treatment. I was still a little bit skeptical so I came in not really expecting much, but I did hope that the treatments would offer more definite healing than the treatments modern medicine offered.

My first impression of the clinic was that it was definitely a place where God was working, I remember sitting on the couch on the first day waiting to be called inside and just being in awe at all the testimonials of how God had healed so many people at the clinic. A part of me felt like it was too good to be true, but my God is a great healer and while talking to Doctor Huang my Mom and I just choked back tears because the treatment he offered promised true and holistic healing something that modern medicine never offered. When Doctor Huang said that we can only do so much on earth, but leave the rest to God as the true physician, I knew that this place was a place where God was being glorified in healing and I was certain that! I wanted to go ahead with the natural treatments.

I received acupuncture and herbal medicine as well as dietary guidelines. Since I was still attending college at UCLA, I got acupuncture every other week and weekly when I could. The acupuncture was mostly painless and the herbs were easy to take. After about 2 weeks, I began to feel less fatigued and have more energy. My anxiety and nausea also started to subside and I was able to perform at school and function at a higher level. The recovery has definitely allowed me to work harder at my school work and spend more time with my friends as I regained my energy and health. The treatments have drastically improved the quality of my life and shown me new ways that God can work. After four months, which is the end of my treatments at the Natural Medicine Center, my blood test levels are all in the normal range and I was able to get off my drug medications! Was able to experience true healing without having to permanently remove my thyroid or take medications for the rest of my life! My faith and the faith of my family have significantly grown from coming to this clinic and witnessing God's healing power here firsthand.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Their smiling faces and their work in making each treatment as comfortable as possible truly made the experience a pleasant one. Sherry and Dr. Huang were very knowledgeable and kind. They always made sure to answer any questions we had and it was obvious that they cared not only about my medical condition, but genuinely cared for me and my Mom. They genuinely hoped for my complete healing and showed true compassion on us and all the other patients. I was especially encouraged every time Dr. Huang would pray for me before treatments and acknowledge God's sovereignty.

I am overjoyed and extremely grateful to God for the results. I did not expect to experience complete healing through natural medicine and also did not expect to have the pleasant and uplifting experience that I did. I would definitely refer the clinic to other people because I have had such a great experience there and am a firm believer that natural medicine can bring true healing in areas where modern medicine cannot when modern medicine told me to completely rid myself of an organ that I needed to function, natural medicine said that there was a completely natural, harmless way to not only keep that organ but restore it to its normal function.

I praise the Lord for leading my Mom and me to this clinic. My physical, emotional and spiritual health has benefited greatly and I have received a healing in my life greater than I ever anticipated or could expect anywhere else. When I look back on this time of trial in my life, I will always see this clinic as a symbol of God's goodness and love.

Psalm 103:2-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth Is renewed like the eagle's.
