David: Blocked Arteries, No Surgery, No Statins

David Trembe was having chest pains. He went to the Mayo Clinic.

They did a stress test and an angiogram. They discovered he had 60%, 40%, and 20% blockage in the left side of his heart.

They sent him home. The cardiologist said he hoped David could take Zocor—a statin that would lower his bad cholesterol and raise his good cholesterol.

David came home and went to his family doctor. He was put on Zocor. After four weeks, he started feeling really sick.

"I called him and told him," David said. "He said, 'Just keep taking it, drink more fluids, eat more veggies, and you'll be okay.'"

He tried for another two weeks. Finally, he called and said, "I'm not going to take any more. I'm just getting sicker."

His doctor switched him to Lipitor. It did the same thing. He took it for a month. Then he threw them away.

"I called him and said, 'I'm not doing this anymore. I'm not taking anything.'"

It took him two and a half months to get his strength back.

The Turning Point

A pharmaceutical friend of his told him about Dr. Na Zhai, an acupuncturist.

"I sat around three months, thinking, 'Boy, this can't be,'" David said. "Finally, I thought, 'Well, I'll try it once.'"

The Treatment

Dr. Na gave him an acupuncture treatment and some Body Clean. She had him come three weeks in a row, every Tuesday.

Then she said, "Go have your blood drawn."

David went to his doctor.

"The doctor said, 'I'm not going to draw your blood. You're not taking anything for your cholesterol.'"

"I said, 'Doctor, I want my blood drawn.'"

They drew his blood.

The Results

"My bad cholesterol dropped 50%, and my good cholesterol went up 35," David said.

The doctor was astonished.

"What have you been doing?" he asked.

"I've been going to acupuncture for my cholesterol," David said.

"He said, 'David, I know this works, but how it works, I do not know. This is wonderful.'"

The Knee Trouble

Several months after Dr. Na got his cholesterol where it should be, David injured his left knee.

One day it swelled up to about twice its size. His foot started getting numb.

"I called the doctor. He said, 'Go immediately to the emergency,'" David said.

But David had faith in Dr. Na. So he called her.

"She said, 'David, get over here right now.'"

She did acupuncture on his knee with electric stimulation. The next day, the swelling was gone.

"Then I went to see my doctor, and he said, 'Well, I thought it was all swollen up.'"

David told him what he did. He went to Dr. Na."

He said, 'Man, I don't know how that works.'"

"He said, 'Did she take a big needle and drain it?'"

David told him no. She never drained anything. She straightened his leg up.

What David's Story Shows

David had blockages in his coronary arteries. He had high cholesterol. He was prescribed statins. They made him sicker. He stopped them.

He found Dr. Na. He received acupuncture and Body Clean. After three treatments, his bad cholesterol dropped 50%. His good cholesterol went up 35%.

His cardiologist was stunned. He said he knew it worked, but he did not know how.

Then David injured his knee. It swelled to twice its size. His foot went numb. The doctor said go to the emergency room. Instead, he called Dr. Na. She treated him. The next day, the swelling was gone.

This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and injuries. Because the treatment follows a pattern, it can be taught. Because it can be taught, it can be passed on.

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

And it began with a patient who could not tolerate the medication—and who found another way.
