Bobby's Story: Free from Tourette Syndrome

 

Bobby lived with Tourette syndrome.

His neck and shoulder moved without his permission — constantly turning his head, rotating his shoulder blade. The tics were involuntary, persistent, and exhausting. They were part of his life every day.

He started seeing specialists. They put him on four different types of medication. None of them controlled his symptoms. And the last one nearly killed him.

He broke out in hives. He had difficulty swallowing and breathing. It was an allergic reaction — a severe one. He was rushed to the emergency room, where they treated him with Benadryl and steroids. He stopped taking the medication immediately.

He came to Dr. Na. The Turning Point

Dr. Na treated Bobby with a series of acupuncture sessions and herbal medication — the same two synchronized protocols that form the foundation of her system: awakening and balancing the body's systems through a unique acupuncture method, and clearing metabolic waste accumulated in the colon over years using a safe, proven Traditional Chinese Medicine formula.

The results came steadily.

His symptoms decreased. His tics began to quiet. His body, which had been locked in a pattern no medication could break, began to settle.

And then came something no one expected. Over a period of four months, Bobby lost 80 pounds.

It was not the goal of his treatment. It was not a side effect he was told to expect. It was an unexpected benefit — a sign that his body was not just suppressing symptoms, but actually healing. When the underlying imbalance began to correct, other systems in his body began to correct too.

The Outcome

Since 2005, Bobby has remained healthy.

His tics are almost completely gone. He no longer requires medication. The four medications that failed him — and the one that endangered his life — are behind him. The weight he lost has stayed off. His recovery was not temporary. It was lasting.

That was more than 20 years ago.

What Bobby's Story Shows

Bobby's case, like Anna's, is not just a story about acupuncture or herbs. It is a story about looking deeper — about treating the root instead of chasing the symptom.

His specialists tried four medications. None worked. One nearly killed him. Dr. Na's approach was different: awaken the body's healing system, clear the toxicity that had accumulated over time, and let the body do what it was designed to do.

For Bobby, that meant:

• His tics decreased steadily with acupuncture and herbal treatment

• He lost 80 pounds over four months as an unexpected benefit

• He has remained healthy, nearly symptom-free, and medication-free since 2005

This is the system Dr. Na built. This is what she offers.

And it began with a patient who was willing to try something different — after conventional medicine had run out of options and nearly cost him his life.
