Additional Patient Comments

MIGRAINE HEADACHES

I was suffering from migraine headaches which include numbness on one side of the body, a bright aura in my vision (one eye) and nausea. I've suffered from migraines since the age of ten.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
I have had no migraine symptoms since my first treatment.

I am a twenty-two year old female. I was suffering from headaches that would not respond to medication, and also severe back pain and excessively cold hands and feet (even in the Summer).

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
After five treatments with Dr. Hoang, all the symptoms were cured. I had been to several other doctors over the years who treated me with medications to no avail. Dr. Hoang's treatments have enabled me to return to work without pain. My hands and feet are now warm to the touch and no longer trouble me.

L. Tillman, Galveston, TX


For over three years, I had severe headaches and was treated by a number of doctors during that time and was confined to a hospital three different times for testing... At one time I was on five different drugs, which did not help me.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
After only two treatments with Dr. Hoang I have not had any headaches since.

BACK PAIN

Three years ago I had a disc removed from my back. After another injury a year later I had to have a spinal fussion. I continued to have severe lower back pain. I was tanking between 4 and 6 Darvon tablets a day, but this still did not help at all. I decided to try acupuncture.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
Immediately after my first treatment I felt better. I was able to return to work, and continued treatments, and am free of pain. I can bend over, walk better, and move without pain. I would recommend Dr Hoang to my friends and family.

D. Blater, Katy, TX


For two years I suffered extreme pain in both my arms, and my back. During that period I spent over $6000 for various treatments and therapy. I spent more than two weeks in the hospital for tests and have been treated by ten different doctors in three states.

I wore arm and back braces, have had ultrasonic therapy, aspirin therapy, massages, whirlpool treatments, deep heating treatments, cortisone injections, pain killers, muscle relaxants, anti-inflamatory pills (which were harmful to my stomach), electromylogram, veinogram, nerve conductivity tests, spinal tap, x-rays, arthritic consultation, and testing, blood tests, tried salves, heating pads, and vitamins by mouth and injected. There was no end to the treatments, tests and therapies, but none provided any relief for my pain.

I then decided to try acupuncture treatments with Dr. Hoang.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
After 12 treatments over two months I have made a complete recovery and use of my arms. I no longer have any pain.

E. Ping, Houston, TX

 

VISION AFFECTED BY MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

I am suffering from multiple sclerosis and also arthritis, most recently diagnosed as "osteoarthritis." I had nystagmus [uncontrollable eye movement from side to side] in my right eye, also affected vision in left eye with pain, blurred vision, worsening until I had to stop reading fine print.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
Clear vision, no pain and a generally better feeling; time permitted only 4 treatments as of this letter. Since the first treatment, pain in the eye disappeared and vision is no longer blurry.

B. Peterson, Calumet, Mich.

ALCOHOL ADDICTION

I had been drinking steadily for 27 years.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
Since I started with Dr. Hoang I have lost the desire to drink completely. I am comfortable and feel better than ever. My general health & circulation is excellent.

R. S., Houston, TX

SMOKING CESSATION

I was seeking help due to cigarette addiction.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
In just 7 days of acupuncture treatments for smoking I have not smoked in 3 months. After having been a smoker for 15 years, I have quit smoking completely and feel in excellent health.

Y. Muela, Houston, TX


I needed help to quit smoking.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
I have come from 2 packs of cigarettes a day to none in only two days. I recommend Dr. Hoang's treatments.

Lawrence Lippincott, Houston, TX


I was smoking 2 to 2 1/2 packs of cigarettes a day.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
I had fabulous results, with little or no withdrawal symptoms.

Barbara Simonite, Houston, TX


Below are some more patients who have quit or reduced smoking after Dr. Hoang's acupuncture treatments:

Evalee Schwarz (Houston) stopped smoking after 4 days of treatments.

Viki Lucas (Houston) smoked 1 1/2 packs a day for 18 years and cut down to 4 cigarettes a day after her 5th day of treatments.

Flora Morgan (Houston) quit completely in less than a week and had no craving or desire to smoke, and is comfortable around others who are smoking.

Richard Thomas (Houston) smoked 2 packs a day for 30 years and completely quit after 6 days of treatments. "Have no desire to smoke at all."

Newton Wilds (Houston) smoked for 41 years and had tried to quit many times in the past. "I stopped smoking immediately with the help of the staples in my ears. This made it unbelievably easy. It has been many months and I am not tempted to start again and know I never will again. I will always be grateful to Dr. Hoang!"

Joyce Cornuvelle (Portland, TX) smoked 2 packs a day for 33 years. After her treatments she has no desire to smoke. "I have recommended this to many of my friends and family."


I was a heavy smoker -- three packs a day and have smoked heavily and steadily for 20 years. Previous attempts to quit smoking have been futile.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
I had no desire to smoke a cigarette after my treatment. In fact, I didn't even think about a cigarette, which was really a surprise to me... It didn't bother me for others to smoke [around me] and it seemed as if I had never smoked. I didn't have any "craving" feeling, so I did not find it necessary to supplement with candies, gums, etc. and so did not experience any weight gain [after quitting]. In short, I just "forgot" about cigarettes.

Nita Richards, Houston, TX

PAIN FROM INJURY

I was suffereng from pain from a shoulder separation injury. I have seen doctors over a 3 year period and did not get any relief from pain, had surgery and still had pain. I cannot move my right arm, even could not comb my hair.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
I can work now, I can use my arm. I have hardly any pain. It is the most wonderful thing ever to happen to me. I appreciate acupuncture very much. My life has really changed.

Shirley Barnett, Lufkin, TX


I was in an accident and suffered a dislocated disc and stiffness in my right leg. I went to nine specialists and neurologists with no results whatsoever. THey wanted to operate on me, but I didn't want the operation. I had to use crutches for a year and a half.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
I am walking without crutches and I can drive and do my housework without pain or cramps on my right leg. Dr. Hoang's treatment has been a miracle to me, and I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he did for me.

Lina Ortiz, Houston, TX


I sustained severe lumbo sacral strain causing intense pain. I had suffered from similar symptoms 7 years earlier resulting in a laminectomy, which seemed to remove my pain until recently. The pain was incapacitating and did not respond to strict bed rest, anti-inflamatory agents, muscle relaxants, or analgesics. I remained off from work for a week.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
After three treatments with Dr. Hoang I was completely sumptom free and able to return to work. I continue to be totally symptom free today. I am extremely appreciative of the treatments of Dr. Hoang and would heartily recommend him to any of my own patients having similar difficulties.

Alfred Dell'Ario, M.D., Houston, TX

 

DEEP INTERNAL PAIN

I was suffering from pain due to an inoperable tumor for over a year. The doctors I had seen had me taking up to 20 pain pills a day. I decided to seek relief with acupuncture.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
The treatments are like a miracle, and now I am free of pain after six acupuncture treatments. I am off ALL pain medications. Nobody can believe it, but it's true and I am a new person free of pain.

L. Grande, Houston, TX


I am a 34 year old male. For the past five years I have suffered abdominal pains, inability to digest food, sleeplessness, and at the least, loss of sexual desire. On three separeate occasions I was examined by western doctors, went through various G.I. tests, but obtained no relief.

This patient's results with acupuncture treatments:
After starting treatments with Dr. Hoang, relief started immediately. I began sleeping deeply for 7 to 8 hours a night, something I could not do before, even with sleeping pills. By the 5th (and final) treatment, my digestion was perfect, no more pain or cramping at all. Also, my interest in sex had returned. Overall, my whole general health has improved.

Individual responses vary and not everyone responds to acupuncture. This should not be taken as a substitute for medical advice or treatment, especially if you know you have a specific health complaint. You might consult with your primary physician, or use one who is sympathetic to the usefulness of natural medicine.
