Nature Chi Acupuncture

For about a month now, Dr. Linaka Lee has been helping me with my health concerns. Her practice of acupuncture and herbs has reduced the severity of all my health issues and has even eliminated one ongoing problem: a severe case of edema.

I was recommended to Dr. Lee by Angelica from the Soul Healing Center in Olympia, who shared how much Dr. Lee had helped her. I originally knew Angelica from her setting me up with a PEMF program.

I consider myself a naturopath who prides himself on researching natural ways to heal. I understand that the issues I have accumulated over my 71 years will take considerable time to repair the damage to my cellular system. As a previous owner of a natural health food store that primarily dealt with supplements, I am sold on making greater changes to my diet, my day-to-day priorities, and my lifestyle. These changes have helped make my life healthier and have increased my energy.

What sold me on Dr. Lee, who came highly recommended, was the significant one-on-one time she provides each of her clients. By dealing solely with one person at a time, she builds a platform to determine which herbs are needed to address my specific issues. Adding the herbs helps my situation by maximizing the effect of Chi energy.

I had researched what acupuncture could do for existing issues, no matter how long one has had them. This research led me to choose to make the trip from Minneapolis, MN, to Olympia solely to receive Dr. Lee’s treatments.

I was open to trying a program to deal with my most bothersome issues: reducing the size of my enlarged bladder, strengthening my bladder muscles, and dealing with neuropathy primarily in my feet and lower legs. After my consultation with Dr. Lee, I was prepared to have treatment every day for as long as I could stay, which I originally planned for four months—less than half the time she recommended to eliminate my diabetes. Currently, it is difficult for me to commit to eight or more months away from my home and family. However, with the success I have experienced to this point, I believe I will succeed because of not only her expertise but also the lifestyle changes I’ve made since starting with Dr. Lee and my determined attitude to succeed.

What I have not shared up to this point is that I had many issues when I arrived in Olympia to work with Dr. Lee. They are as follows:

• Diabetes: My blood sugar numbers were from the low 200’s to the upper 300’s, which affected other organs. To this point, I have been able to reduce my blood sugar numbers by almost 100 points, while also reducing my insulin from 18 units to 16 units. I am so pleased with what I have gained so far and look forward to the additional improvements I will experience during the next 2 2/3 months of treatment with Dr. Lee.

• Neuropathy: This was and still is noticeable in my toes, ball, arch, and heel of both feet, which affected my balance and caused me to fall at times. It was also present in both legs, below my kneecaps, in my shins and calves. Additionally, I experienced numbness in my fingers, palms, and wrists, which affected my ability to carry items and made it difficult to write a check or sign my name on a credit card receipt. Treating neuropathy requires greater needle penetration to awaken many dormant nerves in my feet, calves, and hands, along with other areas I was not familiar with until receiving treatments from Dr. Lee.

I have made great improvement in getting some feeling back in my feet, legs, and hands. This alone has me so motivated to stay focused on the program with Dr. Lee. I wish I had someone with Dr. Lee’s qualifications in Minnesota, where I reside. I have even changed my residency to Olympia, WA, solely to be treated by Dr. Lee. While there is cost involved, since acupuncture is not generally covered by health insurance, I feel the cost of the treatments and my dedication to being in Olympia have far greater value than experiencing the uncomfortable pain and discomfort. Not to mention, being healthier is probably adding years to my life.

Other areas I have benefited from include:

• Eliminating edema from my feet and lower legs.

• With the awakening of dead nerves from increased blood and oxygen, my skin texture has gone from a dry, fish-scale appearance around my ankles and lower legs to normal, smooth skin.

• Gaining additional depth of skin on my feet and legs.

• Facial treatments have reduced wrinkles and excess fluid under my eyelids. Interestingly, I could feel changes in my feet when acupuncture was done on my face. It shows how the Chi meridians are tied throughout the body.

• When Dr. Lee was feeling the meat of my palm and the top of my arm, she found that my pain was related to a back/spine issue. She pinpointed it between the C1 and T8 vertebrae, where the neck and skull are tied together. I had a compression of vertebrae from a fall on my head in 2001. It took just a few treatments to correct the compression issue. The first treatment was painfully intense for only about five seconds. With this correction, I believe I have fewer neck issues when awakening in the morning and I sleep longer and more deeply due to the decompression relief.

It is my belief that success requires not only natural ways to correct problems that have developed over many years, but also the time to incorporate natural remedies for the body to heal itself.

As for myself, I am thrilled with my bodily improvements: my blood sugar has dropped and stabilized, I have more feeling in my feet and legs, and I have less numbness in my fingers and hands. While I made the changes, my success would never have happened without the help and knowledge that Dr. Lee has put into my regimen. I will be forever grateful for her dedication to helping me succeed.

If she feels she could help you, I believe that if you are dedicated to making changes, she can help improve your health conditions. Success will require not only your changes and Dr. Lee’s assistance but also your confidence and patience to see the positive results.

Good luck. I wish you the best in bettering your health.
