By most of Western Medicine Doctor's criteria, if one's lab test come back within normal range that means the patient is healthy, even if he may feel there are something wrong and the patient does not feel good. Then the patient travels from one doctor's office to another doctor's office, spend a lot of money and time trying to find a MD who can diagnose the problem, until finally he meets one MD who tells him that yes, he is sick, and then give him a name of the disease. Sometimes, the disease was named only because there are lots of people who are having the same problem but without a distinctive lab test results. For example: the condition of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was not listed as a disease 30 years ago. Chinese Acupuncturist and Herbalist do not rely on disease names and/or lab test results to tell if you are healthy or not. In a Traditional Chinese Medicine Examination session, we use questioning, taking pulses, visually inspecting Tongue and Eyes to tell what is going on in your body, and use those information to prescribe Acupuncture and Herbal formula, suggest life style changes and type of exercise needed. If your are told by your MD that your lab test results shows you are healthy, please take a few minutes to answer the following questions to see if we would agree in Traditional Chinese Medicine's point of view. Our belief is that you have to know what is good health standard in order to recognize if someone is in balance and needs treatment.
