Sinusitis

" I am 37 years old and have dealt with chronic sinusitis for over twenty years. After having used Western medicine for many years and still having symptoms I wanted another alternative. I decided to see Mr. Tao after moving to the area and not wanting to travel to the Poconos to have acupuncture when needed. I saw Mr. Tao for six weeks one time per week. These were during my most problematic months September and October. After my first visit I noticed an improvement and was able to stop using allergy prescriptions that evening. I woke up being able to breath clearly. I finished my six week session and am not taking any allergy medications. I take one herb that controls post nasal drip. I know for a fact that acupuncture works me! "

"I experienced pain in my left shoulder, radiating to my left arm and also to my chest. I had electro-cardiogram and nuclear stress test, my heart is o.k. but a cervical MRI diagnosed advanced DJD at C5-6 and C6-7 with spurring and severe foraminal stenosis at C5-C6 and moderate stenosis at C6-7. The alternate was surgery or pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Both of these drugs were extremely pain to my stomach.

My level of pain was 8-9 scale on 10 bases which is the worst. With drugs bring it to a level 5-6 only. After 2 cycles of acupuncture treatment (10 visits is one cycle) with Chinese herbs, my level of pain down to 1-2 scale of 10 and my arm only has minor sensations now. This is tolerable as compared to the discomfort experienced before coming to see Dr. Tao.

As an additional benefit, Dr.Tao prescribed an excellent herb for my chronic sinus condition which totally relieved my allergy symptoms for years."

"I have had migraine headaches since I was a child. As an adult, I began to also experience sinus problems, nasal allergies, dizziness, ear congestion, tinnitus and TMJ. By the time I first went to Dr. Tao, my dizziness was so bad I could barely turn my head without taking a spin. I had also been having chronic headaches every day.

I was grateful that Dr. Tao is very gentle with his patients, since I have a fear of needles. He also made special accommodations for me because my dizziness made me feel like I was falling off the patient table.

I began to see improvement after just a few weeks of acupuncture and herb treatments. My dizziness has been greatly reduced, and I no longer have daily headaches. My tinnitus has improved so much that I rarely notice it anymore. There has also been much improvement with my sinus problems, nasal allergies, ear congestion and TMJ. Each successive treatment seems to bring more relief.

Unlike many other doctors, Dr. Tao didn't focus on just one of my conditions. He realized some of them are related and treated the whole person."

"For years I had gone to Chiropractors and Physical Therapy without avail. In one visit to Dr. Tao, I had feelings in my foot and leg again. After 3 more visits, I felt like my old self again-with the herbs you had given me, my sinus cleared up, my respiratory breathy also cleared up and the numbering discomfort sensations was gone. How does one thank someone who has given me back my leg and boosted my self image? Dr. Tao, I can simply say thank you and God Bless you. thank you again, my friend."

"I am a 33 year old man with cerebral palsy since early childhood with allergies since age 28. My allergy symptoms indluce sneezing, rhinorrhea, sinus headaches, cough and eustachian tube congestion which sometimes could cause my earache and ear pressure increased. I was unable to tolerate allergy injections, even in low dose could cause me coughing in an hour later. I am going for acupuncture treatment for my vertigo, and one of the treatment could last up to 10 days and another for 30 days, the other symptom of my coughing, asthma, wheezing and sinus congestion and headache, depresstion also greatly improved and under a good control. The medication to use for inhaled steroid also reduced. I feel I am getting more healthy and will follow up my additional regular visits to control my complex symptom.Thank you, Dr. Tao!"

"My daughter is a 13 year old girl with lifelong history of frequent upper respiratory infections. In 1992 she was tested and placed on hyposesitization injections in Houston,Texas until the fall of 1999 became out of control. She had mild asthma and wheezing, some conjunctivitis. Her asthma got it worse whenever had a sinus infection which could cause her postnasal drip and some congestion. During the worst time, she couldn't go to school and have stay weeks at home, she had treated by allergy specialist and ENT specialist with little or no help, and repeated the condition when the weather gets worse or catch cold. After one of my friend highly recommended Dr. Tao's treatment, I decided to gave Liane a try. Having a total course of 12 visits acupuncture with herbal treatment, Liane's condition almost totally remission. The most surprised me was other our family members get sick, she still healthy not looks like she was . I am so gratefull and appreciated Dr. Tao's help. If not him, Liane should not can be so healthy and not need take any medicine."

" I am a 59 year old RN with history of asthma since age 38. At the time, I also developed bronchitis and started wheezing even when I stopped smoking. I was treated by my family Doctor by hyposensitization injections for one year and other allergy specialist one by one. However, nothing really works on me which include three times removed nasal polyps and high dosage steroid medicine of both oral intake and nasal inhaler. I even tried acupuncture with herbal treatment through a Lehigh Valley clinic over a year with little help in my sinus congestion and digestion but not help for my asthma/wheezing condition. Through my friend's highly recommended, I decided switch to Tao's clinic to give him a try. To my surprised, only third visit, it already much decreased my breakthrough asthma, my sinus better, my arthritis pain in my hand better and I now used to take Dr. Tao's prescribed herbal mixture's tea instad of those toxin medicine, particular after I gradually reduced the steroid medicine, I feel I become more healthy, my energy feel better, my breathing better, I even not use steroid inhaler any more, my face looks more brighter, everybody what I know all feel me different. I am very pleased to find a miracle Doctor like Dr. Tao did- so quick, so effective." ~Kemper Mahon
