An archived interview by Jenny C. Lee, L.Ac. on March 8 about “Natural Solutions to Digestive Problems”. Do you suffer from acid reflux, hiatal hernia, gas or bloating, IBS, diarrhea, stomach cramps, constipation? Do you wonder what’s wrong? Find out today!

The Healing Lab Combines Acupressure/ Acupuncture, Ionic Cleanse Detox and Energetic Nutritional Testing to help you get rid of any digestive symptoms without any drugs:

• Acupressure/Reflexology/Acupuncture

We applied body acupressure and reflexology to open up all your blocked channels followed with the acupuncture treatment for reinforcement.

• Ionic Cleanse Detox Program

By using the Ionic Cleanse Detox program right after the acupuncture treatment when all the channels are open and toxins are ready to come out, more drainage of toxins would results than just doing the Detox treatment by itself.

• Energetic Nutritional Testing

It will find the “missing piece” to solve your health condition and “make the circle full and complete”, so to speak. Energetic Nutritional Testing is painless, powerful and personalized! Only safe, natural and effective tools for treatment such as whole food supplements homeopathy and herbs with dietary and lifestyle changes.

Using the Alternative Medicine approach geared for individual needs, each individual is treated as unique and different. The Medical healing approach is going to be designed specifically, depending upon individuality.

With patients who are already on medical drugs for their digestive disorders, they would feel better and better that they simply forget to take their pills!

Severe Digestive Problems, Spirit/body separation,
No energy/motivation, Irritability, Frustration,
Low Libido, Hopelessness, Shellshock

In October of 2007 I came to The Healing Lab clinic upon just returning to California and having multiple health problems surface at once.

I’d had severe digestive problems for three long years since being sent to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It varied over the years from feelings of razor blades slowly passing through every inch of my intestines to feeling like I was carrying a boulder in my stomach for days on end. I’d been suffering through these problems for so long with no feeling of ever being able to be healthy that I’d become completely sapped of all energy and motivation, as well as hope of ever being well again.

I’d seen Army doctors every chance I had while in service to no avail whatsoever.  While living in Victoria during the Winter and Spring of 2007 I went through a combined program of counseling, acupuncture, ion cleanse detox and herbology treatments.  There was some minor feeling of betterment, which all went away shortly after I’d had to move on.  All past and new health problems attacked at once upon returning to California in Autumn 2007.

I was told that there was an excellent acupuncture clinic in Palo Alto while working at Country Sun, so I Googled ‘acupuncture’ and was instantly magneted to The Healing Lab.  It seemed that the various treatment programs offered (especially Energetic Nutritional Testing) were exactly what I needed.

Shortly after commencing treatment with Dr. Lee, I noticed that I’d suddenly regained the ability to actually sit up instead of having to lie down all the time!  This was the first huge step, followed by a harmonizing of bodily functions, i.e. bowel movements and breathing; being able to eat on a regular basis again instead of rushing to eat the few times I was not in pain before the pain resurged; being able to dress normally again instead of just in stretchy materials because anything else felt severely restricting; being able to exercise again and feel myself getting stronger everyday; being less and less irritable/frustrated with my condition and taking it out on those around me; learning to let go of past trauma and learn from those experiences; learning to STAND UP FOR MYSELF by taking responsibility for my own health!!! (Just to name a few, could write pages!) Don’t forget that now I can be friends with myself so that I can once again be friends with those around me!!!!

AIDS, Neuropathy, Nausea, And Diarrhea

In March of 2000, I was diagnosed with AIDS. I lost fifty pounds and was very weak. My doctor had to put me on a drug combination to treat my chronic illness. Unfortunately these drugs are highly toxic and gave me severe side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, bloating, extreme fatigue, and neuropathy, just to name a few.

My doctor started to prescribe even more medication to combat the side effects, which took a toll on my organ functions.

I met Dr. Lee at a Sylvia Browne lecture. Upon my first treatment, neuropathy went away immediately. After a few treatments, I was able to reduce medication only to the basic drug combination. Since I have been working with Dr. Lee, my energy has increased, and side effects are minimal.

Candida, Digestion, Rashes, Ringing in the ear, And Hearing loss

When I first came to Dr. Lee, I suffered from Candida with symptoms of bowel changes, diarrhea, gurgling noise in the stomach, fatigue after eating, hemorrhoids, blood in stools, skin rashes and mental fogginess. I also had sinus congestion, blurry vision, low back pain and memory problems. On top of that I had earache, ringing in ears, even loss of hearing.

I have been treated by other acupuncturists with not much improvement, if any. I was very frustrated until I was referred by Church of Novus Spiritus to Dr. Lee.

Now I have higher energy, Rashes are gone, digestion and mental facility improved, no more ringing in ears or bowel problems. I also restored my normal vision.

Chronic Fatigue, Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Herpes, Fibromyalgia, And Irritable Bowel Syndrome

When I first came to Dr. Jenny Lee for treatment, I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired! Many years of a high pressure, stressed-filled life style had left me with several auto-immune diseases. I suffered from Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I had also acquired Herpes through my work and was plagued with outbreaks that made my life wearisome. I was tired all the time and has no energy to enjoy my life.

Although I was able to gain some improvement in energy levels and immune function with OTC (over the counter) supplements over the years along with thyroid supplements, I was not happy with the quality of life that I had. I have to work to support myself and I had no energy left over for any leisure or fun. Medical doctors were unable to help me.

I have been seeing Jenny for several months now and have shown continuous improvement. Although I still have a very stressful job, I no longer have frequent bouts of illness. This past winter, I had only one cold and it was a mild one. I almost never have outbreaks of Herpes. I have much more energy and am able to work on my house projects and gardening. She has given me an increased level of wellness and hope of having a normal life.

Acupuncture Miracles:
Back & shoulder Pain, Lyme Disease,
Stomach indigestion, and bloating

I came to the Healing Lab less than a month ago, and I am already amazed at the results!

My primary health challenges were shoulder pain and stomach problems.  In 2005, I had body pain from the advanced stages of Lyme Disease.  When it began to subside (with 7 months of antibiotics) I still woke up most mornings with pain in my right shoulder.  I also struggled with stomach indigestion and bloating on a daily basis – I believe due to so many antibiotics, and also 6 chemotherapy treatments I had in 2004 in my battle against Ovarian Cancer.

I told myself, “I am only 36 years old, and I am too young to have to live with this pain.”

I found the healing lab’s website through a Kaiser referral.  I was encouraged by the testimony given by a girl who had tried physical therapy that was ineffective, but got relief from Jenny Lee.

My results to acupuncture, Chinese herbs and diet were immediate.  By my third week evaluation, I was virtually pain free, and my stomach felt great.  I have even lost the weight I wanted to.
It is so wonderful to feel like my body is functioning well again!
I am grateful for the Healing Lab – It truly is a path to healing.

Sinus Congestion and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

I found out about the Healing Lab Clinic through local colleges and thought I would give it a try in March 2007. I have pretty bad IBS occurring daily for the last 15 years and a sinus problem that includes a stuffy nose worse at night for 20 years. I’ve had surgery through the mouth to open up my sinus which left me bleeding for days after the surgery. The sinus has not completely cleared and the doctors now recommend having another surgery done.
Now after just five acupuncture treatments, one ion-cleanse, and one nutritional response testing with herbal remedy, my sinus has completely opened up and I no longer need a second surgery. My IBS has also improved and diminished significantly.

Fibromyalgia, Irritable bowl syndrome,
Chronic diarrhea, and Lack of energy

When I first met Jenny Lee I had been dealing with fibromyalgia and irritable bowl syndrome. I had chronic diarrhea for almost 10 years and my energy level was very low.

I have always exercised, but I was finding it difficult to get through a whole step class at the gym and by dinner time, I was wiped out.

Dr. Jenny Lee put me through Energetic Nutritional Testing and made recommendations of dietary changes and supplementation. After just 2 weeks in the program, my diarrhea was gone. I have been seeing Jenny for 3 months now and I no longer get the achy feelings that come with fibromyalgia and I can do a whole step class in the morning and still have energy to make dinner at night.

Acid Reflux, Difficulty Sleeping

I came to the Healing Lab as a desperate, last choice measure in my search for a remedy for acid-reflux and the digestive issues that surround it. We began the treatment for these problems two and 1/2 weeks ago and the effects were immediate. Within 3 days I no longer suffered from acid-reflex and my stomach bloating decreased day by day.

I should say that this has been a problem for me for years. It began eight years ago and reoccurred one year ago
more severely. I had difficulty swallowing, felt something stuck in my throat, and felt nauseated. In addition, I could not lay flat sleeping. I had to sit sleeping with two to three pillows under my head at night. My quality of life was deeply affected. It woke me up at least twice a night. I was so tired that I could not be creative for my artistic work. I also suffered with mood swings, felt bloated all the time, and was short of breath.

I was treated by a gastrointestinal doctor for a year at two different times. Symptoms were eased but not 100% and new symptoms developed. I was not healed. I felt that there had to be a different way to become healthy. I researched Chinese Medicine and found The Healing Lab. In five days I feel lighter, no more acid reflux medicine after day three and I sleep better which is a major relief for me.

Of course, it was necessary for me to do my work with regard to the eating plan that was suggested by Dr. Lee. This eating “plan” seemed daunting at first but it has become more a way of life after following it for the past few weeks. I cannot imagine returning to my former way of eating. I am losing weight and feeling better and better with each day. I have become creative again with my clear thinking returning. I find that the support of Dr. Lee two times a week with energy testing and acupuncture is invaluable—absolutely vital to the healing process.

This healing process is amazing. I do my work and Jenny does her amazing work! For the first time in many, many years, I feel hopeful that I can return to my healthy self. The evidence in the way I feel and look says so much about this process–this way of treating the whole person. I am sleeping so well, eating incredibly well, and feeling joyful each day of this experience. Joyful because I am taking good care of myself and healing along the way.

Constipation, Abdominal Pain

I have had constipation for fifteen years, ever since I was around 5 years old.  On the average, I have only 2 to 3 bowel movements per week.  I had gas and burping all day long for 4 years now.  I had bloating so bad that I would have severe sharp pain in my lower abdomen.  I have had heavy menstrual period and cramp ever since the beginning, along with mood swing and feel irritable all the time which got worse before the period.  I was cold all the time, and my weight would fluctuate up and down for 5 pounds for the last year.

I also suffered from fatigue, restless sleep, poor concentration, and sinus allergy.

I came to the Healing Lab for just three weeks.  My bowel movements are restored to normal.  My energy and sleep is back.  I no longer have mood swing.  I can think clear again.

Thanks for my mom who took me to the Healing Lab.  I now feel wonderful.

Abdominal Pain, Low Energy

I came to The Healing Lab first on April, 24th, 2009. I had low energy as well as lower abdominal discomfort and bloatedness, on and off for a few months. I believe it was due to poor diet. Severity was low, but was noticeable and bothersome. Also it may be due to stress.

I saw a doctor at Kaiser but was told that everything was fine. The medical test results came back favorable, but I still had problems, so I turned to The Healing Lab, which I found out about from the Santa Clara Health Convention Center.

Only after two weeks of treatments at The Healing Lab, my abdominal pain is gone and my energy has improved. I am eating better as well.

Indigestion, Bloatedness

I came to the Healing Lab on October 29th, 2009 after listening to Dr. Lee’s radio interview on AM1450. I felt extremely bloated with a big stomach as if my food cannot go down. I have had this abdominal discomfort for about 3 months. It got worse after eating steaks.

Two Kaiser Doctors told me it may be cancer. I became very worried. When Dr. Lee saw me and examined me for the first time, she laughed and told me I had indigestion – this was so true!

I am all well now and forever grateful to Dr. Lee, not only for healing my body, but for putting my mind at peace.

I can purely say that I am healed! Thank you Dr. Lee. You are wonderful!

Lack of energy, Digestive problems

I have lack of energy problems with digestive system.  It began 2-3 years ago. Particularly digestive problems began after gallbladder removal. I would have diarrhea when I ate heavy food.   Both of my knees and neck are painful as well.  It did not approach severe point, but it is worsening with everyday.

I have had some experience in traditional medicine treatment which wasn’t very positive, so I did not bother to address my problems.

I found out about The Healing Lab through internet research.

After only two weeks, I feel energetic and fresh.  My digestive system became normal as it was before removal of my gallbladder.  My knees and neck pain are gone.  Even my mood has improved tremendously.
