Fatigue

"I have battled Hashimoto's Thyroiditis-Hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency for years. I have seen two Endocrinologists, an MD of Internal Medicine, and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine - all of whom have
prescribed various doses and combinations of Synthroid, Levoxyl, Westhroid, Armour Thyroid, Cytomel, and Cortef. I felt no better taking these prescriptions and actually became physically over-stimulated by them while
my blood work (TSH, T3, T4 and Cortisol levels) continued to show no improvement from their initial below normal levels. Needless to say, I felt exhausted and sick all of the time.

I started seeing Dr. Tao in February.
He focused on my symptoms and using acupuncture and his wonderful herbs, my thyroid and cortisol levels are now testing normal. This was accomplished
in 3 ? months - amazing! I have much more energy and clarity of thought.

Along the way, Dr. Tao also recognized and addressed my Anxiety Disorder and his treatments have diminished this problem too. I haven't felt this calm nor slept this well in decades. Thank you to Dr. Tao for giving me my life
back ¨C you are the best!

"Hi Dr. Tao,

I came to you for help as I suffer from Anemia and this in conjunction with a heavy menstruation had left me completely exhausted and unable to get out of bed once a month.

I appreciated the time you spent to completely understand all the symptoms I was experiencing and the detailed questions you asked before you suggested a treatment.

In four months, you were able to raise my core body temperature, return my pulse to a normal level, increase my energy, and reduce my heavy menstruation; until you could treat my iron deficiency and help me to maintain a normal menstrual cycle.

Four months of acupuncture and herbs, succeeded in doing what four years of taking iron pills from my regular family doctor did not.

Additionally, a year and half ago I injured my toe - I chipped the bone and bruised the toenail - I had swelling at the ball of the foot and discoloration of the toenail. I had two x-rays and three visits to my foot doctor who told me to expect a lengthy healing process.

I asked you at one visit to treat my foot and you agreed - one treatment only and two months later - my foot no longer swells and my toenail has healed.

I would and do highly recommend you to anyone who suffers from any disorder, as I have learned that you do not dismiss any symptom and treat the whole person.

I wish you continued health and success personally and professionally.
Thank you Dr. Tao."

"As a Doctor of Pharmacist, I came to Tao seeking treatment to regulate my menstrual cycle and for hormonal balance. My periods were irregular, my acne sometimes broke out, and I was open to conceiving but unsuccessful for 4 years. After only 3 visits, I realized I was pregnant! Now I have a beautiful baby girl and seek acupuncture for my current situation-the stress and low immunity secondary to lack of sleep which got improved also."

" I am a 39 year old man with the history of allergy, depresstion and fatique. I only took six sessions of acupuncture treatment with taking Chinese patent's herbal medicine, my allergy and fatique improved and my depresstion also much reduced. I also reduced the dosage of my Zoloft medicine to half and I still feel good. Thanks Dr. Tao, your help!"
