DAAN Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture

More and more people are using alternative therapies like acupuncture and herbs to treat a variety of conditions:

“As more diseases are identified, the challenge is on to find cures for each. Usually, the search begins and ends in medical research laboratories.
However, more people are turning to alternative methods of treatment for illness through the centuries old method of Chinese herbs and acupuncture.
Many swear by the method, such as Santa Rosa Beach residents Woodie and Dot Long.
The Longs have been regular visitors to the Tortoise Medical Clinic in Miramar Beach since 1994. Dr. Kenneth Suh is the current doctor at the clinic and has been there since October 2006.
In 1994, Woodie was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in his eyes and was losing his eyesight. He began drinking herbal teas and taking acupuncture treatments and responded immediately.
Within two weeks, he was free of the disease, he said.
Dot Long concurs with her husband. She visits the clinic about once a week.
“It’s good stuff,” she said.
Laurie Beck, owner of Pilates by the Sea at Shops of Grayton, backs up the Long’s testimony.
Last year, she experienced what she calls a “hiccup” in her life. The hiccup in Beck’s life was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
She opted to try to heal her body and started acupuncture treatments on May 19, 2006 at the Tortoise Clinic. She had never had acupuncture before, but the doctor at the clinic told her that if she listened and followed his program, he could rid her body of the disease.
She began drinking 30 ounces of herbal liquid daily along with energy healing, walking and breath work.
After three months, Beck’s blood count was normal and her oncologist told her to keep doing whatever she was doing.
Subsequent CT scans showed everything to be normal and that she was in spontaneous remission with no treatment. She continues to take the herbs and acupuncture therapy.
“It’s been around for thousands of years,” she said.
Dr. Suh confirms Beck’s story. “We treat all diseases from the common cold, neurological, head to toe. We treat the whole body and mind. We take symptoms and trace and treat the pattern using differential diagnosis, but individual specific,” he said.”
