Review content:
I started going to Life Rising (also known as Ton Shen Health) on Archer Avenue in Chinatown when I was first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in January of 2007. Needless to say, I was very worried about my health at the time and wanted to investigate all the options, including the ""traditional Chinese"" medicine that is so often written about in magazines devoted to Cancer patients and survivors (e.g., ""The Cure"").\r
\r
I undertook weekly/biweekly visits with Dr. Xie since 2007.\r
\r
To my delight and relief, I found that the experience with Dr. Xie's (he is known informally as ""Gary"") accupuncture was extremely effective in achieving the goals. First, his personal technique in application of the accupuncture was extremely professional and experienced. I guess I have had (and continue to have) about 25 needles applied to my body every 2 weeks or so; and I can attest that each needle placement is extremely well considered and almost painless (yes, the ""mosquito bite"" idea of needle application is about all you really experience--a tiny ""itch"" and then the good healing power starts to happen, and you forget about the needle from that point on...). Dr. Xie (Gary) would spend several seconds of time very carefully probing my body's landmarks (bone positions, joints, muscle connections, tendons, etc.) to determine the most accurate map of where each needle would be inserted. Nothing was done cavalierly, it was all done with extreme concentration and attention to detail.\r
\r
Following needle insertion, I would generally meditate and relax on the massage/treatment table for about 40 minutes in the semi-darkness... then, at the end of the treatment, Dr. Xie (Gary) would gently remove each needle (no sensation involved) and provide a short 5-minute massage therapy to gently bring my awareness and energy back into ""awake mode"" (I typically would be extremely relaxed, much more so than even sound sleep).\r
\r
I am now cancer free. And I strongly recommend Dr. Xie to anyone.
Pros: extreme professional knowledge/practice; excellent cooperation with Western Med.
Cons: Waiting room could use better reading materials
