BALANCE YOUR DIGESTIVE AND LARGE INTESTINE SYSTEMS THIS AUTUMN SEASON

Digestive and Large Intestine Health During the Autumn Season

The autumn season is the best time of the year to maintain, nourish, cleanse

and balance the digestive and large intestine systems according

to natural medicine.

Good quality water is vitally important for these organ systems. We recommend proper hydration by drinking 8-10 (8 ounce) glasses of water each day. Infused water with fresh fruit and herbs is very healthy, vibrant, colorful and fun to try. 

WE TREAT DIFFICULT DISEASES USING NATURAL MEDICINE ONLY

 Recommended Water Intake

We recommend drinking 8-10 (8 ounce) glasses of water each day, which equals about 64-80 ounces. Quite simply, there really isn’t a better drink than just plain good-quality water. Most people would agree that drinking water is a satisfying and enjoyable act, but for those who do not like to drink water, try drinking small amounts more frequently, drink some warm tea, or add fresh fruits to infuse your water.

Remember that a sure sign the kidneys are being hurt by dehydration is the presence of dark colored urine. This is a good indicator that the body needs more water. Dduring fall season, according to the laws of natural medicine and the biothermomic temperature, when the weather begins to cool down, the water that we drink should not be iced or directly from the refrigerated.

Our body is 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and drinking room temperature water is already cooling down the body during this season. We do not need the added pressure of cold temperature foods to slow down metabolism, suppress the immune system and hinder the circulatory system, especially on cold days as we move into colder weather during these autumn and winter months.

  Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) 

What is IBS?

 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic condition that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. They cause frequent abdominal pains and irregular bowel movements that occur together. Irritable bowel syndrome can occur without any indication of visible damage or disease in the GI tract. They change the way the muscles contracts in the intestinal tract that result in diarrhea, constipation or both.

WE ARE GENTLE, WE TREAT LITTLE BABIES & THE ELDERLY

IBS Symptoms

 Irritable bowel syndrome symptoms are abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. 

WE HAVE THE MEDICAL EXPERIENCE TO HELP YOU

Acupuncture to Benefit IBS

 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 regulating system. Acupuncture helps irritable bowel syndrome by strengthening the internal organs, restoring the gastrointestinal tract muscle contractions, and improving the patient's quality of life. Acupuncture is safe and painless. There are no drugs or hazardous equipment used and no surgical operation.

ALL OF OUR TREATMENT PLANS ARE TAILORED AND PERSONALIZED

 Treatment of IBS

Treatments for irritable bowel syndrome focuses on relieving the signs and symptoms. Treatment depends on the pattern of changes in the patient's bowel movements. An individual with mild signs and symptoms can control their symptoms by changing their diet and lifestyle. If the condition is moderate or severe, medication and counseling are recommended to relieve the symptoms. Medication is treated for diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. However, some medicines work only for certain types of IBS and can make other types worse. 

WE SHOW LOVE TO OUR PATIENTS, AND LOVE OUR PATIENT FAMILY

     Case Studies

A study was done at Yiwu Central Hospital on 86 patients with IBD-D that was randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group received herbal medicine three times a day over 30 days, and the observation group received herbal medicine (same as the control group) and acupuncture five times a week over 30 days. Results showed herbal medicine and acupuncture combined recovery rate was 34.9% with a total effective rate of 90.7% compared to recover rate of 18.6% and an overall effective rate of 79.1% for the control group.

Testimonials on Agape Natural Health has proven acupuncture and herbal medicine has successfully treated patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Agape was able to restore their patients' balance and improve their quality of life. Here is what their patients have to say after receiving acupuncture: 

"I suffered from terrible cramping, fatigue, loss of appetite, skin dryness, hair loss, diarrhea and constipation. I was not feeling well and was tired. I quit work, had no social life and lost spirit. I have been extremely healthy all my life, but the IBS was progressive and began to rule my life. I was hoping someone could help. My medical doctor prescribed two sessions of antibiotics, and then I was prescribed Librax which I took for 6 months. I had side effects such as drowsiness and my stomach was uneasy. I got temporary relief but I felt like a guinea pig, and the medication did not treat the cause...Within the first day of getting the acupuncture and herbal medicine I noticed improvements. Within one week, I was 75% better and the cramps stopped. With the herbs and diet change, I have never had cramping again and my energy has improved. After 2 months of treatment, I have improved 100%." - N.T., Costa Mesa, CA

"I was told it was IBS. With a list of things to keep away from my diet I was sent home. I continued to experience problems and I would constantly be in the restroom. I finally returned to the Dr in 2003. I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy done; that's when I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis, which caused me to have severe diarrhea. I was given a steroid medication which it didn't help out at all. I would have 8-10 bowel movements a day. I continued this way with repeated procedures every 3 years, having another one on 6-17-2013 with no change no matter what they gave me...I started treatment In June 2015 with flare ups through out the treatment but my bowl movements a day started to decrease. I had my procedures repeated on 7-31-2015. I was told there was nothing wrong with me - no signs of microscopic colitis; all came back fine with no findings." - J.C.

“I am absolutely ecstatic about the results. There is no doubt in my mind that I am a walking testimony. …With Dr. Huang, you have a doctor for life.”

4-5 years ago, I was diagnosed with the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and Lupus and I suffered the whole time. In 2000, I had a vaginal hysterectomy and a platelet issue and almost died. In 2004, I came down with a kidney infection and almost died and went home with a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line inserted through a vein in the arm for 2 weeks. I suffered from chronic fatigue, severe heart pain, bone pain with severe inflammation, severe lower back pain, and weight gain. I couldn't do anything and I lived on the couch. It was horrible and I thought that I was dying. I also had mononucleosis at the same time. I couldn't use my muscles to walk or move. I had so much swelling. Everything slowed down.

I sought the help of a cardiologist, bone doctor and went to a fibromyalgia clinic and also to UCLA. I took every drug known to man including Provastatin, Prilosec, Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide, Hectorol, and I had IV treatments. They gave me diabetes medication and had me drinking calcium. They were horrible. I had the shakes and low blood pressure. I had migraines, I couldn't see, and I was getting weaker plus having bone pain. As a result of all this, I ended up on Nitroglycerin tabs. I thought I was having complications from all the medications while getting worse. I was told there was no cure for me, but only manage me.

On March 10, 2011, I came to see Dr. Kevin Huang at Agape Acupuncture and go the natural alternative way so that I could at least function. I made this decision the day I went to UCLA and a liver specialist said "You have a fatty liver". I wanted relief for my autoimmune condition Lupus and my husband was a bit skeptical that no one could help me, but my friends and family were supportive. When I came here, the clinic was very peaceful. I felt there is a mission here - God's mission. I was treated with acupuncture and herbs and I love it. It's gentle. It treats the whole body, not just the symptoms. The herbs helped what was weak - my liver, kidneys and heart.

I am absolutely ecstatic about the results. There is no doubt in my mind that I am a walking testimony. I'm off the couch and exercising 60 minutes a day. I started feeling better when the swelling started going away. It's been awesome. I'm back to gardening, knitting, playing the piano, exercising, cooking, traveling and visiting my grandkids. The clinic is warm, welcoming and pleasant and the staff is very helpful. I have referred a girlfriend here also; her mom died of ovarian cancer and she has a lot of infections. I encourage others to give natural medicine a try because it does work. Once you understand how it works, it makes sense. With Dr. Huang, you have a doctor for life.

Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans

What should Americans eat to stay healthy?

The US Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Service further elaborates on the above 7 guidelines which provides advice for healthy Americans age 2 years and over about food choices that promote health and prevent disease. To meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, choose a diet with most of the calories from grain products, vegetables, fruits, lowfat milk products, lean meats, fish, poultry, and dry beans. Choose fewer calories from fats and sweets.

 Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures

Food choices depend on history, culture, and environment, as well as on energy and nutrient needs. People also eat foods for enjoy- ment. Family, friends, and beliefs play a major role in the ways people select foods and plan meals. This booklet describes some of the many different and pleasurable ways to combine foods to make healthful diets.

WE HAVE TREATED OVER 45,000 PATIENTS

Diet is important to health at all stages of life

Many genetic, environmental, behavioral, and cultural factors can affect health. Understanding family history of disease or risk factors—body weight and fat distribu- tion, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol, for example—can help people make more informed decisions about actions that can improve health prospects. Food choices are among the most pleasurable and effective of these actions.

Healthful diets help children grow, develop, and do well in school. They enable people of all ages to work productively and feel their best. Food choices also can help to reduce the risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, stroke, and osteoporosis, that are leading causes of death and disability among Americans. Good diets can reduce major risk factors for chronic diseases—factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol.

Foods contain energy, nutrients, and other components that affect health

People require energy and certain other essential nutrients. These nutrients are essential because the body cannot make them and must obtain them from food. Essential nutrients include vitamins, minerals, certain amino acids, and certain fatty acids. Foods also contain other components such as fiber that are important for health. Although each of these food components has a specific function in the body, all of them together are required for overall health. People need calcium to build and maintain strong bones, for example, but many other nutrients also are involved.

The carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food supply energy, which is measured in calories. Carbohydrates and proteins provide about 4 calories per gram. Fat contributes more than twice as much—about 9 calories per gram. Alcohol, although not a nutrient, also supplies energy—about 7 calories per gram. Foods that are high in fat are also high in calories. However, many low fat or nonfat foods can also be high in calories.

ALL OF OUR TREATMENTS ARE TAILORED AND PERSONALIZED

Physical activity fosters a healthful diet

Calorie needs vary by age and level of activity. Many older adults need less food, in part due to decreased activity, relative to younger, more active individuals. People who are trying to lose weight and eating little food may need to select more nutrient-dense foods in order to meet their nutrient needs in a satisfying diet.

Nearly all Americans need to be more active, because a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthful. Increasing the calories spent in daily activities helps to maintain health and allows people to eat a nutritious and enjoyable diet.

What is a healthful diet? 

Healthful diets contain the amounts of essential nutrients and calories needed to prevent nutritional deficiencies and excesses. Healthful diets also provide the right balance of carbohydrate, fat, and protein to reduce risks for chronic diseases, and are a part of a full and productive lifestyle. Such diets are obtained from a variety of foods that are available, affordable, and enjoyable.

WE HAVE THE MEDICAL EXPERIENCE TO HELP YOU

The Dietary Guidelines describe food choices that promote good health

The Dietary Guidelines are designed to help Americans choose diets that will meet nutrient requirements, promote health, support active lives, and reduce chronic disease risks. Research has shown that certain diets raise risks for chronic diseases. Such diets are high in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and salt and they contain more calories than the body uses.

They are also low in grain products, vegetables, fruit, and fiber. This bulletin helps you choose foods, meals, and diets that can reduce chronic disease risks.

CROHN'S DISEASE | DIGESTIVE DISORDER STABILIZED BY NATURAL MEDICINE | HERBS AND ACUPUNCTURE FOR AUTO IMMUNE CONDITION

GI HEALTH AND DIGESTIVE DISORDERS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH NATURAL MEDICINE | GREAT RESULTS FOR CROHN’S DISEASE, AN AUTO IMMUNE CONDITION | NEW DIRECTION FOR MY LIFE

“I had very positive results! I’m totally free of drug medications. My symptoms have subsided drastically, energy level increased and my digestive system has stabilized.”

In April 2008 I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. I was shocked and concerned due to my father having the same health issue. I had a very abnormal digestive process, bouts of diarrhea and lack of energy. I also felt bloated and weak. My food selection was limited. Different foods that I would eat would have an adverse affect on my digestive system. I always made sure I was close to a restroom. My condition was constantly on my mind and I wondered what the future held for me. Over all it was an unknown type of illness that would affect me down the road. I thought I would never have a normal life.

My MD prescribed two different types of medications Entocort and Mercaptopurine. The treatments offered to me were medications and doctor visits. I also had a Colonoscopy (upper and lower GI) and a CAT scan. While taking these medications I had side effects of weakness and joint pain. It maintained my symptoms more than reversed the disease. The medications stabilized my symptoms and I had an occasional flare up – even though I was taking my medications.

A friend referred me to Dr. Huang and I began coming to Natural Medicine Center on April 28, 2011. I was hoping that it would reverse the Crohn’s Disease and give me energy that would sustain me. The clinic had a professional - extremely nice atmosphere and very friendly. I was not very educated on natural medicine and not aware of everything it could do. Slowly I began to wean myself off the medications. Within the first 3 months I began to feel better. I had increased energy and quality of life. The process included different portions of the body stimulated via a needle to bring healing. I had very positive results! I’m totally free of drug medications. My symptoms have subsided drastically, energy level increased and my digestive system has stabilized.

Home and social life is great now! My disease used to be constantly in the fore thoughts of my mind and now it’s not. Everyone at the Natural Medicine Center is great and very friendly and informative – willing to answer any questions. I am very happy and confident with my results! My friends and family are also very happy and supportive of me. I’ve already referred my friend and sister. I view natural medicine as more of a first line of treatment now. Don’t knock it until you tried it. It has positive results.
