Success Stories

When I came here, I had dizziness. I also had problems with my neck and back. With all the unpredictable dizzy spells (sometimes 4-5x/day), I couldn't take walks around the block and the doctor told me I couldn't travel. I also have macular degeneration. After the treatments, my eyes are now stable. I don't have dizzy spells anymore. I can go out and take the bus and go to the grocery store. I don't have to worry about falling and I can go places now. I also have more energy to take care of the duties of the house. I feel generally better and I will be 85 next week!

I cannot share enough how happy I am that I came to see Body Feng Shui. I had always believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine, however never had a reliable source to select from. I was referred to Body Feng Shui by a good friend of mine. Now sitting 2 months later and seeing my results, I can't believe it. I feel so much healthier. I can't believe how dysfunctional my body was when I came, it's a miracle.

Thank you Body Feng Shui for changing my life and direction. I will be forever thankful.

I came to Body Feng Shui to treat Bipolar Disorder and PCOS (uterus and ovarian pain). It was affecting my life in that every day I felt like I was in a "fog". Now I feel alive and my cognitive process has increased to where I feel like I am actually me again. It has been years. I feel generally so much healthier. I am increasingly more active and have lost some weight too!! I am now off all 5 medications that I was taking before. I feel more stable now than previously coming to Body Feng Shui. This has changed everything about me...for the better.

My experience here has been nothing short of MIRACULOUS. In 9 months of treatment, I have accomplished ALL my goals and then some. Most importantly, I have come off ALL my arsenal of medications, the most important being anti-depressants. As a result of this, I now enjoy a quality of life that surpasses anything I have ever felt! I have also lost weight for the first time in years. My energy level has exploded. I sleep without medicine and I feel boundless JOY! Plus!! My allergies all but dissipated! This has been THE single most wonderful thing that could ever have happened to me! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!

I have received nine treatments and already lost 12lbs!! I have never felt better. After 4 treatments I noticed the bloaty feeling and definitely my hip pain improved tremendously. I have more range of motion and increased energy level. My family and friends have all seen the change! I am sooo thankful to this expert and professional staff. I feel they really listen and locate the source of the problem. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I started acupuncture treatments with Body Feng Shui on 4-1-08. I came here to treat my Diabetes. I was experiencing a lot of pain on my legs and feet. The treatments consisted of acupuncture, massage, chinese herbs and nutritional counseling. I underwent regular visits and slowly the pain on my legs and feet were subsiding and my energy level improved. Today 7-27-08 I feel my Diabetes results have tremendously improved to a level that I don't experience ANY leg or feet pain whatsoever. I would highly recommend Body Feng Shui. Thank you.

Before coming to Body Feng Shui, I had skin rash from head to toe. It was red, itching rash, also burned, skin was very dry. I couldn't sleep well. I was physically and emotionally effected and I had no energy. Now I'm doing GREAT! Rash is completely gone. Itching is gone. What a relief!! My energy is back. I'm sleeping well. I have a better mental attitude and focus on life. Thank you.

"Prior to visiting Body Feng Shui I was suffering from severe carpel tunnel syndrome in both arms and wrists. It was affecting my ability to work comfortably and efficiently. Since receiving treatment for this condition I was amazed at how fast Body Feng Shui were to diagnose and cure my problem. Hopefully this is the last of my carpel tunnel but now I know exactly where to go if the problem persists.
A double thumbs up!!" :)

I have been taking treatment for 2 months now. I have found considerable improvement in my sinus issues I had earlier. I used to wake up with a sensitive nose, cough, and severe headaches which would last for two to three hours. Since starting treatment I haven't had any reoccurence. I am also feeling strong in the sense that I don't get sick as often.

I started with Body Feng Shui in October 2006. I had very low energy, loose bowels, anxiety, and depression. I have had steady improvement in all these areas. It has been from the combination of acupuncture, herbs, and the suggestive chages in my diet. I highly recommend Body Feng Shui. I will continue to come on a maintenace plan.

Body Feng Shui is helping me to reach my weight loss goals. I want to lose 60 lbs and keep it off. With the help of the practitioner and the staff I have reached the half way mark. I will continue to follow the regiment they have given me and fully expect to reach my goal in the next 3 months. My overall health has improved, I sleep better, and have more energy. Thank you to all the staff at Body Feng Shui.

“My mother has suffered from heart problems all her life, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and just recently her second stroke in 5 years. A family member recommended us to this office. My whole family was very skeptical that it might not work, but wished for the best. After her first treatment my Mom took her herb tea and she slept well. Her 3-4 times waking up in the middle of the night was over. The next day her speech was 80% better. Her energy and motivation has come from her seeing the results of this alternative medicine. The Ruiz family thanks the doctor with all our hearts. We don’t have enough words of appreciation and belief.”

“I had severe pain on my right shoulder (bursitis). I was not able to raise or move my right arm. A wonderful Dr. Su treated me. My condition was very chronic and it’s very important for my profession as a nurse in taking care of my patients as well as my daily living doing chores to my family. I am fully recovered. I am able to do my job well physically, mentally, and emotionally. Thanks so much!”

“I came in for a herniated disk with pain radiating down my leg. During my visits to Body Feng Shui my pain has subsided and I no longer have radiated pain and can return to normal activity.”
- A. T.

“I came to Body Feng Shui on the recommendation of a friend/colleague at work to mainly address my severe allergy problems- itchy eyes, blocked nostrils, and coughing associated with allergy to various pollen. I was managing by taking Allegra, Claritin, etc. After a consultation, Miki put me on a schedule of once a week acupuncture treatment with a concurrent (2x a day) drinking of a Chinese herbal tea. Very quickly (a few weeks) I noticed that I didn’t have the allergy symptoms – almost as though I never had a problem! Quite impressive. The success with my allergy and the explained modes of approach – restoring the balance in the body – as the route to a healthier body makes sense and I am encouraged to want to pursue the treatment sequence set up by Miki.”

“I came in with a chronic right knee pain that affected my work (I am a pet sitter but my primary job is dog walking). Within 3 weeks I noticed improvement; within 5 weeks the pain was non-existent. I also noticed when taking the herbs my energy level immediately increased, however the taste of the herbs still receives disapproval from my taste buds. Overall, I’m very pleased with the results and I thank Miki, JinLi, and most of all Dr. Su for bringing me to the healthiest level I’ve ever felt my entire life (I can say that because I’m 47).”
- April Yamaichi

“It’s been about 7 months since I’ve started my treatments and now that I’m pretty much healed, I can’t seem to stop coming! I started out with horrible energy, tenseness, incredible lack of motivation, and this constant feeling of bloatedness and abdominal discomfort that would just not go away. After about 4-5 months, it’s like I’ve become a whole new person. Just much more optimistic, happy, and have so much more energy to share with my friends and family. All my abdominal discomfort and bloating have virtually disappeared. And just my overall lifestyle is healthier and optimistic. I can’t thank Miki, JinLi, and Dr. Su enough for everything. I now look forward to each and every day!”
- Annie Nyugen

I had pain in the joints, especially my knees due to injuries. I couldn’t walk and was in constant pain. I gained weight from lack of exercise, which only made things worse. Now I am doing much better. My energy has increased and I can go for walks now without any pain. It feels like my joints are finally getting nourished. And, I don’t feel like an old woman at 24! I was able to take my friend who visited me all over the city, walking and I felt great after and during. Plus I no longer need to take all the ibuprofen I was using for the swelling.
- S.M.

Initially, I was treated for chronic right knee pain. The pain was affecting my job and I was crying every night from pain. Now it is virtually pain free with infrequent minor twinges. My left index finger is also remarkably better. Currently, my neck/back are affected due to job but I always feel great up to 5-7 days after treatment. Also my blood pressure has remained low (112/75). I have forgotten what it’s like to have chronic knee pain. I feel good that I’m not putting synthetics into my body and that I always feel energized after each treatment. Doing things naturally has always been my mantra and I’m so glad to have these treatments as part of my well-being.

After dealing with my skin acne for years through antibiotics, crèmes, microdermabrasion, chemical peel, I tried acupuncture and herbs. After all, I was happy with the result I got for my PMS. Today after the 3rd visit my skin looks better than ever and the good thing is I don’t use any external crème or procedure for it. I’m very pleased with the result and thank you Miki, JinLi, and Dr. Su for all you do.
– M. S.

The best part of my treatments is that the intense pain I felt in my lower right leg, when I first stepped out of bed in the mornings has almost virtually disappeared. And I can walk at a brisk pace for about 2.5 – 3 miles at a time without pain in my right leg. My energy level is definitely increasing.

Dear JinLi and Miki,
I have not forgotten you, nor have I forgotten all the help you both gave to me when I was in great pain. It was fortuitous to meet-up with you after many years (from Jefferson High) JinLi, and also, with your teammate Miki. And, it was you JinLi and Miki who turned into the teachers and counselors. As counselors and teachers, you have taught me to stretch every day, and to stretch before exercising or any other activity that requires physical exertion. And as of today, it seems to be “working.” As I have been able to walk quite a bit without hurting and to resume a bit of golfing.

I am sure that I would not be in my present happenstance (without pain) if it were not for the both of you. My thanks for you “needles” properly placed, the heat treatment, and the massage and manipulation (it really hurt sooo good). I have told all my friends, that I received the best of Father’s Day gift ever – a rump roast (mine own); 20 minutes at 120 degrees …… well done and just right!!
- B. C.

Again I wish you both well and if I need more counseling/services, I know “whom” to go to for the best of services ……Body Feng Shui, JinLi and Miki, experts in Acupuncture and massage therapy ………….”oooh, ouch”; it hurts sooo good!!!!

I had 1) menopausal symptoms i.e. hot flashes, digestive issues, 2) overall body aches, headaches, 3) shoulder tension. Feeling physically bad affected my attitude and did not have the energy to do a lot. Now I am much better. Body aches are gone, headaches are much less frequent, hot flashes are less frequent and less intense, and digestive problems are getting better. I feel better and I am not on HRT. I plan to continue treatment the rest of my life for maintenance).
- M.M.

I began my acupuncture treatment with some degree of skepticism. I had several leg and knee aches that I attributed to my exercises and previous arthroscopy surgeries. I am pleased to say that my current leg usage has improved 100 fold and I've actually begun my running regimen for the first time in over 5 years. As a 67-year-old male, I look forward to resuming my running again and hope to continue as long as possible. Thank you Body Feng Shui.

I had twitching or nervous leg when I would go to sleep. As soon as I lay down, my left leg would have some sort of nerve or deep pain. I was taking Ibuprofen frequently (2-3 times/week) and the discomfort was causing me to lose sleep. Now I have no more leg pain at night! And I can go to sleep now without dreading the leg pain and no longer take Ibuprofen at all!
- Jim Holak

After four months of treatment, so far I do not recall having any more migraines( it was once a month or so before treatment). My energy level has improved at home and especially at work improving my productivity and making me feel less worried/guilty about feeling well enough to contribute what I should. My mood has improved since I am not so tired (and crabby/grumpy).
- Colin Gould

I am a late starter in life (over 65!) finally being aware of maintaining good health, so I am pleased to be under the care of Body Feng Shui with the team of Miki, JinLi, and Dr. Su. My objective is to stay drug free in my senior years as well as slowing down the progress of aging. I encourage the younger generation to start early because good health can be very simple and uncomplicated. The clinic's coordinated efforts of acupuncture, massage, herbs, consultation, and especially the testing of one's progress is excellent.
- Sandra Allen

I have fibromyalgia, knee pain, water retention, poor circulation leading to cold feet and hands. After two treatments my knee pain has been greatly reduced. I used to feel pain 100% of the time. Now it is sporadic, soon to be 0%. I am improving every day. Water retention has also been improved, and I'm feeling much warmer - hands and feet are staying warm. Chinese Medicine has improved my life because: Less Pain = Happier Me!

Approximately 17 years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease - an inflammation of the large intestines. I had severe diarrhea off and on for years. About 4 years ago I had a colonoscopy and it was discovered that I had ulcers in a portion of my large intestines, a growth/tumor (non-cancerous) in the rectum and many fistulas around the anus area. I tried many different approaches to handling this problem, hoping to "cure" the incurable. My body did get better and they did help but.. About 1 year ago I came to see Miki at Body Feng Shui. Our goal was to strengthen the body for potential surgery.

On July 10, 2006 I had my colon (large intestines) rectum and anus removed along with the tumor (which proved to be cancerous) and all the fistulas. I t is major surgery ; I was out of the hospital in record time (6 days versus 10 days)! I am driving my car after 4 weeks! The doctors and surgeon were very impressed with my quick recovery. This success was due to the acupuncture and herbs that I was given to build my body up prior to the surgery. My surgeon even said to continue the herbs and whatever else I was doing as I was doing very well with my recovery!

I have lots of every now! Before the surgery I would get a maximum of 2 hrs of sleep at a time. (more like 1 hour or less most of the time). Now I sleep a maximum of 2 hours at a time and one night it was 6 hours at one shot. That is such an improvement; I feel more rested now. This is all due to the herbs and acupuncture.

We are continuing my program to build up my system again - one: for after surgery to continue my awesome recovery; two: to build me up again so when I get the radiation I won't get any bad reactions (or at least minimal reactions if any).

I am very pleased with my progress and the excellent care I am getting. I hope you will avail yourself of the expertise of this team of professionals and get yourself on your own path to recovery of your most important asset - your health!
With love, Linda Weaver

I had shoulder pain - a torn lateral and impingement with clicking/popping of the shoulder causing pain. I could not sleep without the shoulder waking me up 3-4 times a night. I also had no energy and could not even exercise. Now my shoulder is much better. I sleep much better and the range of motion has greatly improved in my shoulder. Chinese Medicine and acupuncture has kept me off the surgery table!

I was being treated for an arthritic hip, insomnia, and a skin rash/hives, which was making my life very restrictive. Now I am doing much better. The hip is more flexible, there is less pain, no skin rash, sleeping much better, and I have better digestion. This has greatly improved my life!
- A. C.

When I first was seen by the practitioner, he diagnosed my problem just by looking at my back. After his first treatment I felt a lot better and was able to sleep longer. On my second visit he said the times, and at what times I had woken up during the night. Ever since he's been treating me my sleep is getting better. I highly recommend acupuncture for all kinds of symptoms, illness, etc.
- Emely Tamayo

I had a slow metabolism, lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension, low energy, and body aches when I first came in. I woke up every morning feeling achy all over and headachy from the neck and shoulder tension. I felt old. Now my energy level is much better. Most of the tension is gone from my neck and shoulders. The overall body aches are gone. And I'm feeling much better about life in general. All of these improvements were due to Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. It has also helped with the hot flashes from menopause without having to use hormones.
