Dr. Na Zhai Clinic Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Ending 19 Years of Painful Constipation
For 19 years, Kate Harmon suffered from severe chronic constipation. She tried everything Western medicine had to offer, including multiple different laxatives. Nothing worked.
"I felt horrible a lot of the time because I'd go a week or two weeks without having a bowel movement," Kate recalled. "It was huge, and they were very painful. I would bleed, and I'd feel terrible beforehand because I needed to have a bowel movement and I could feel the pressure. Afterwards, I'd feel terrible for another couple of days because it had hurt, and I had an internal fissure."
The Turning Point
Kate's mother was already a patient of Dr. Na and was taking Body Clean. One day, Kate read the label and thought it might help her. Her mother offered to ask Dr. Na about it.
"My mom goes to Dr. Na and says, 'Can my daughter take this? She's got this.' Apparently, Dr. Na said, 'I'd like to talk to her.'"
Dr. Na does not prescribe her formulas blindly. She needed to see Kate in person to evaluate her specific condition.
"My mom brought me in one day, and I talked to Dr. Na," Kate said. "She's like, 'I want to treat you,' and I said, 'I'll try it.'"
The Treatment and Outcome
Dr. Na treated Kate with a combination of Body Clean and acupuncture. The results were almost immediate.
"I had results in 36 hours," Kate said. "I had a soft bowel movement that did not hurt, which I cannot even begin to tell you how incredible that was to me."
Kate came back a couple of times and she kept getting better.
"I stayed with the treatment," she said. "I feel so much better now, so much more relaxed."
What Kate's Story Shows
Kate's story illustrates a critical difference between Western symptom management and Dr. Na's approach.
Laxatives force the bowel to move. For a patient with a 19-year history of constipation and an internal fissure, this often causes immense pain and bleeding. It does not heal the colon; it merely irritates it.
Body Clean is not a laxative. It gently breaks down and clears the hardened waste that has accumulated over decades, while repairing the wall of the colon. For Kate, this meant she could finally have a normal, painless bowel movement for the first time in 19 years.
This is the system Dr. Na built. This is what she offers.
