In August 2010, Melissa was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. She lived with thesymptoms for a year and two months. Abdominal pain, rectal pain, and fever becamepart and parcel of her life. She searched for conventional ways to cure her conditionbut was disappointed when her physician told her that ulcerative colitis knows nocure. Her life was in shambles. The conventional medications masked the symptoms butgave rise to many more complications. She never has a regular bowel movementand went to the bathroom 10 to 20 times a day! Her stomach hurt, and she feltbloated all the time owing to the ongoing medications. Melissa never stepped out of her house unless she knew there was a bathroomfacility at the location where she was going. Embarrassing accidents were notuncommon. Being an adult, it was extremely humiliating for Melissa. She knew thatshe had to do something else, as her current treatment was not doing much for her.And that is when she started reading about the miracles that a simple diet changeand acupuncture can get in her life. She decided to give it a try.
It was on October 1st, 2011 that Melissa took the first step towards her healing and
complete wellbeing. I suggested her a dietary change and put her on herbal
medications. I also prescribed her weekly sessions of acupuncture. Melissa was one
of the most trusting patients and followed everything that was told to her. I saw an
improvement in her within the very second week of her treatment.
Her trips to the bathroom became less frequent. As the weeks passed by, I observed
significant improvement. I adjusted her medications based on her progression on the
path of healing. Within 3 months’ time, Melissa was a whole new person. She no
longer caged herself. Her bowel movements were regular, and all the other
symptoms of ulcerative colitis were completely gone.
