Online Review:
I couldn’t believe it so I got back on the scales three times today. It’s true. I have lost nine pounds in one month with treatments of acupuncture and herbal teas from Dr. Mark Xu. Originally, I was visiting Dr. Xu for lower back pain and severe pain in my left hip. I have never been an advocate of taking pills to mask a problem that still exist. So when I saw a friend of mine go from being barely able to stand after sitting to not only standing with ease but also walking with ease, I wanted to know what happened. She told me about Dr. Xu. My back and hip pain are less severe after only two months of treatments. Many of my days now are totally pain free. Oh yes, at the beginning of my second month of treatment for pain, by mutual agreement it was decided that weight loss could only help my progress to be pain free. Now I weigh nine pounds less in one month and have much less pain after only two months thanks to Mark Xu. I will continue my treatments. P.S. I failed to mention, in addition to weight loss, I have lost inches and my favorite dress fits better.

What was your medical condition before you started treatment with Dr. Xu:
Sugar addiction. I would eat 1/2 to 2/3 tub of cake icing at a time. Disturbed sleep (waking up at night several times or walking and not being able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours. Leg pain and leg jumping at night which interfered with sleep. Indigestion heartburn (often) chronic intestinal gas due to poor functioning of digestive tract this persisted even with the use of 2 digestive enzymes. Chronic severe hip pain (exacerbated by the work I do).
Medications taken when treatment began by Dr. Xu:
OTC, Aspirin, sleeping pills, antacids, valerian (a sleep-aid herb), 2 digestive enzyme capsules (twin labs, super enzyme capsules for ingestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and lactose after each meal.
What is your current medical condition:
Chronic mild hip pain, (exacerbated by my job) mild bouts of intestinal gas
Results of Dr. Xu treatments:
I no longer consider myself addicted to sugar. I can eat a normal serving of sweets, it I desire to do so. The acupuncture and herbs have helped me to regain normal sleep patterns without the leg problems that occurred at night. I seldom have heartburn or indigestion anymore. I now take only 1 super enzyme capsule instead of two after each meal. Although I still have mild intestinal gas it is nowhere near as it once was, nor as prolific. The hip pain has decreased to a tolerated level. I attribute this to the acupuncture combined with regular exercise and stretching.

Dr. Xu has given me back my life. When I first came to him I thought I was ready for the wheel chair. He is in deed, a miracle worker, and I think insurance should recognize his value as well as AMA.

What was your medical condition before you started treatment with Dr. Xu:
Herniated Disk, pressure on sciatic nerve. I could not walk, sit, stand or lay down to sleep without pain killers (loritabs 10 mg). I took 7 on my bad days and still could not go to sleep. There were 4 doctors and 2 of them were surgeons recommended operation that might work, but would definitely limit my mobility for the rest of my life. Without medical insurance the MRI would be $3 to $4,000 and the operation would run $ 25,000-$30,000 and might work.
Medications taken when began treatment by Dr. Xu:
10 mg Loritabs, 500 mg Naproxen, several others I can not pronounce.
Current Medications:
None
Results of Dr.Xu treatment:
Less than 3 full weeks complete recovery. This in turn has raised the curiosity of a surgeon; he has scheduled me for a free MRI, CT, and scan to try to figure out what Dr. Xu has done….
