Keep your immune system strong
I just received an email from my sister-in-law who is a registered nurse:
“So I guess we are on high alert for this mutated pig-bird-human virus that is now jumping from human to human.
All it needs is cow and it is complete.
Wash your hands and stay away from sick individuals. So far no deaths in USA only Mexico City.”
I’ve been watching the news and listening to updates on the radio. There has not been one thing that I’ve heard that explains what we can do to PREVENT ourselves from being infected with the swine flu.
What we CAN DO: strengthen our immune system. If this sounds too simple to do, then all we can do other than that is “wash our hands and stay away from sick individuals.” My sister-in-law is brilliant in the western medical field, being more of a research scientist than a practicing nurse (and she has been a nurse for a long time). So if our medical professionals are telling us to just wash our hands and stay away from sick people as their best advice to keep ourselves from being infected with swine flu, well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to take this to a higher level:
BE PROACTIVE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
IN MY WORLD:
ACUPUNCTURE TO STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.
THERE ARE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS THAT WE CAN GIVE TO INCREASE WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT = BOOST THE QI = STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.
THERE ARE SPECIFIC CHINESE HERBAL FORMULAS THAT WE CAN TAKE, WHICH ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM BY INCREASING WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT.
Every day, my family and I take one or more Chinese herbal formulas, which keep us strong and healthy. Ask me why my daughter who is about to turn 5 has NEVER taken antibiotics and is extremely healthy: having been in childcare since 18 months. Her childcare provider has asked me why she, unlike her other kids in childcare, does not take antibiotics 1-3+ times a year. Why if she does get sick, it might last 1-2 days.
I can’t guarantee that any of my patients will NOT contract swine flu, but I can tell you what I’ve done for my patients thus far:
Hi Anna,
You have treated me a great deal for stress; so I did some research and realized the only reason I am healthy at all today and not blown over by every cold or flu that walks in the door of my office is because of acupuncture. So I wrote this up for you.
From Wikipedia.org
In 1967, psychiatrists Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe examined the medical records of over 5,000 medical patients as a way to determine whether stressful events might cause illnesses. Patients were asked to tally a list of 43 life events based on a relative score. A positive 0.1 correlation was found between their life events and their illnesses.
Their results were published as the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS),[1] known more commonly as the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale. Subsequent validation has supported the links between stress and illness.[2]
Stress levels
Score of 300+: At risk of illness.
Score of 150-299+: Risk of illness is moderate (reduced by 30% from the above risk).
Score 150-: Only have a slight risk of illness.
If you have ever taken a Homes and Rhea stress scale; you would know that some rating over 300 is considered very dangerous. Well life has a way of sometimes coming up on you and your stress can hit levels that high–as mine have in the past year.
In the past year I experienced the following:
- Purchasing my first home
- Paying my first mortgage
- Experience turbulent market conditions as coworkers lost their jobs
- Variation of my job responsibilities (see above item for reason)
- Watched several industries crash causing a global economic downturn
- Enjoyed a short vacation (before buying the home)
- Spent time with family and friends enjoying Christmas (yes even Christmas can be stressful)
- Change in the health of family members
- Improved my eating and sleeping habits (which is a good thing!)
and well the list could go on…but the point is that according to all the experts I was a stress mess waiting for the slightest cold or flu bug to fly in and make me dreadfully ill.
Instead of succumbing to the stress of personal, family and work, Anna treated me for the stress and today, as I am still amazed at everything that happened in the last 6 months–let alone the past year, I am sleeping well and eating healthy. If it was not for acupuncture I know this would not be the case. Before Anna started treating me for stress, I would catch every bug (cold or flu) that seemed to creep into the office. I would spend each winter fighting infection after infection because stress had weakened my immune system. The opposite is now occurring. I am healthy!
Thank you for strengthening my immune system and lowering my stress.

I was referred to Anna in 1997 for hypertension and stress. With her treatment and prescribed herbs my blood pressure and stress level dropped significantly and have felt better. I still see Anna today for any symptoms related to stress, aches or pains due to physical activity or to treat the common cold and I always feel better after her treatments than I do taking western medications.

Anna,
With constant travel, hours in front of a computer and the stress of an executive lifestyle my body began to give up trying to compensate for the lack of sleep and attention needed. With your treatment and attention to what my body needed I saw a surge in energy, my immune system rebounded and I am now able to tackle the never ending list in front of me with the confidence that my body will not let me down. I look forward to my next treatment.

Hi Anna,
Thanks for having me over yesterday for herbs, tea and delicious lemon cake!!! You’re so much more than an acupuncturist because of times like these…inviting me (and my dog) in for an herbal consultation, a nice cup of mint tea and just plain good ol’ conversation. And when I find myself sick (which we both know happens quite often because of my terrible immune system and too many crazy nights out), you are there for me in every way. Of course there’s the usual acupuncture treatment that kicks in within a day, then there’s the herbs that cover what acupuncture couldn’t...but beyond that, there’s your support. I certainly don’t know many other health professionals that would take such good care of me when I’m ill, but then again, I wouldn’t just consider you a health professional. I would consider you a friend. You’re fabulous!

I started seeing Anna in the beginning of summer for an enlarged lymph node. What I didn’t know was that she was going to help me with so many other things in my body. I had minor digestion problems my whole life. After I ate, I would always have some discomfort which I just considered a normal part of digestion. Now after I eat, I feel good with no pain. I now realize that this is normal. Acupuncture has helped me to identify when I feel full which allows me to stop eating before I over eat. As a result I have started to lose weight without even trying. She has also helped me tremendously with overstressing and worrying. I feel so much more in control of my thoughts and emotions and have much more happiness and a sense of peace in my life. I still see Anna regularly for my lymph node and I continue to enjoy the benefits of her acupuncture for any new ailments that come up along the way. For instance, she has helped me recover from a cold much quicker than I would have in the past. She has also helped me to get over a knee injury I recently experienced doing yoga. I recommend acupuncture to friends and strangers all the time. It has improved the quality of my life tremendously.

As a very busy owner and operator of a commercial printing and graphic design company here in San Diego, Anna has helped me with my stress, sore muscles and immune system. Because of Chinese medicine, I am always on top of my game at work!
It would be my pleasure to talk with anyone about Anna’s skills as a practitioner and her treatments with me over the years. Thanks so much!

Anna has the best herbs to treat bronchitis. I took her herbal prescription and I noticed right away that my coughing is 100% better from 1 month of coughing from bronchitis. I got sick again and took the pills and got better faster than normal the second time. I am a firm believer in her treatments! I have Grave’s Disease and my immunity is at stake here. When I get the common cold/flu, it’s 10 times worse for me. My endocrinologist didn’t give me much to go on, so I have to treat myself. Thank you, An, for guiding me on how to feel better.

Hello Anna,
Noelle’s sore throat was gone after 1 day of using the Astragulas and Sambucol. Kasen is about dried up now, I think. I’ve been noticing for the last 2 days that it looks like his runny nose is gone. No cough.
Julia still has a runny nose and a little cough, however, all of the secretions are very thin and clear. That leads me to believe that it is drying up.
For myself, the herb that you gave me, Sing Ju X (something like that). I’ve been taking 2 pills every morning and this time out of the hospital was my quickest intestinal recovery. It usually takes me 6-7 days to have a BM with all the codine and the anesthesia that they give me for the surgery. They gave me morphine too. This time it was only 4 days.
Well, I did just have a major surgery which has healed great. If you have any other suggestions in mind for pills to take for those symptoms I can come get some more herbs from you unless you have other dietary suggestions.
Take care.

I am a 57-year old man who was diagnosed with mild emphysema approximately 5 years ago. I am an ex-smoker of 15 years, but suffered from the effects of smoking.
Here is my description of what happened in January: At the beginning of January, my daughter and granddaughter came back from Denver, Colorado. Both were sick and I visited them since they had been gone for approximately two weeks. I immediately felt like I had caught something and it went straight to my lungs/chest. I did my usual taking of mega-dosages of vitamin C, juices and echinacea. I felt like I was starting to get better by the end of the week, but then I took a turn for the worse. I went to the ER and they said I had pneumonia without taking a chest x-ray. I had seen Anna before and started seeing her immediately. When I first started seeing her, I was coughing my brains out to the point that my chest hurt just breathing. Within about 2 weeks, Anna’s treatments helped calm my cough along with taking her prescription of Loquat cough herbal medication. I continued treatment for approximately two months before I was well enough to stop treatments.

*It should be noted that the patient had been treated by me for a month a few years prior to this incidence for his emphysema. We had seen significant progress in his condition. This patient was able to take longer walks around his block, go up and down stairs and be more active without losing his breath as he normally would have. It was obvious to see the improvements from the side-effects of having previously smoked for 15 years with just acupuncture.
*In January’s occurrence of pneumonia, this patient was treated until he no longer displayed any further respiratory issues. This testimonial was just recently sent this July. The patient has been free of the low immune system issues since he was treated in January and February.
I started seeing Anna about two months ago after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease known as Guillian Barre. I was diagnosed with this disease that made me feel like I was much older than the 18 years that I am. It started with extremely sharp pains that went from my lower back and shot down into my leg, after that my feet went completely numb and I lost my reflexes in them, the left side of my face became completely paralyzed, and my fingers were constantly tingling. I was told that all of these symptoms would take about a year or longer to completely heal. After seeing multiple doctors and finding out there was nothing that western medicines could do for me, I started seeing Anna two to three times a week. By about the second week of treatment the pain in my lower back and leg was completely gone and about six weeks into my treatments the numbness of my feet and tingling in my hands was 90-95% improved. The paralysis in my face was what I wanted to focus on the most after the pain was gone. Now after seeing Anna for about two months my face has improved about 95%.
Seeing so much improvement, through Anna’s help, in such a short time really showed me that acupuncture works. Even my neurologist was surprised at how quickly I was healing. After the first couple weeks of treatment I was already feeling a lot better and the progress that was gave me so much more encouragement to keep going to my treatments. I am so grateful, everyday, for everything that Anna has done for me and that she was placed in my life at this critical time. I have so much more energy and I am still continuing to see improvements with one treatment a week. Almost 100% improvement in two months is more than I could have ever asked for!
Anna, thank you for everything that you have done for me.
