"I went to China to see Zhou Hong for 3 major reasons:
-
Low vitality. I was tired and felt burned out before I went to China.
-
Persistent shoulder tightness and pain on my right side since my shoulder surgery 9
years previously.
-
Lower back pain.
"Zhou Hong did a careful diagnosis of my entire body based on my complaints and
Traditional Chinese Medicine methodology such as reading internal pulses. He concluded
that I needed to shore up my spleen, liver, and kidney functions and that my digestive
processes were weak. His treatment consisted of acupuncture needles, Chinese cupping, Qi
energy supplementation, and herbal remedies. I found the acupuncture needles to be mildly
painful, but not overly so (more so, however, than acupuncture treatments in the United
States). The Chinese cupping was not painful and I felt like it was very helpful in my
right shoulder area. The Qi energy supplementation was unlike anything I had experienced
previously, quite extraordinary really. It was like receiving an electrical shock, only
the energy received was very pleasant after the first moment of receiving it. The Chinese
herbs he gave me have initially been hard on my digestive system. I'm only just now
finishing taking the herbs.
"Concerning the effectiveness of the treatment:
-
I feel very good and have noticed increased energy and vitality since the treatment.
-
My shoulder tightness and pain on my right side disappeared. It now feels the same as
my left side.
-
Lower back pain. This area was helped by the treatment but not completely cured.
However, by practicing yoga a few times a week I feel that my lower back problems are not
of major concern any longer.
"Perhaps the best thing I can say about my experience with Zhou Hong is that I will go
back and see him every year or so. In fact, although I live in the United States, I now
consider Zhou Hong to be my primary doctor."
