Martha: A New Body After Nine Years of Fibromyalgia
Martha is about thirty years old. She had suffered from fibromyalgia for nine years.
"I have been sick," she said. "I have been going to the health food store and buying herbs because the medical drugs didn't ease my pain or make me well again."
Before she came to Dr. Na, she was taking drugs. Nothing was happening. She was in so much pain, and she was getting sicker and sicker.
"My whole body was out of whack," she said. "I hurt all over, mainly in the stomach. Nothing helped me feel better or eased the pain."
The doctors wanted her to have a hysterectomy.
"I kept going to the medical doctors, and they kept saying that nothing was wrong," Martha said. "But I knew something was wrong."
She was taking painkillers and iron supplements. Her stomach was bigger than she thought it should be.
The Turning Point
A cashier at a health food store told Martha about Dr. Na.
"I called her and made an appointment," Martha said.
The Treatment
Martha began seeing Dr. Na. She received acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
"I cried like a baby after the first acupuncture treatment because it was such a relief," Martha said. "I would say that my pain was about 90% better after the first visit."
She continued treatment for about a year.
"She would treat and fix one problem after another," Martha said. "The last problem I think was the deep root of my sickness, and that has cleared most everything out."
After seeing Dr. Na for three months, her problems were all cleared up.
The Outcome
"I believe she is a godsend for me," Martha said. "I feel like I have a new body now."
She reflects on the natural approach.
"The natural way, just like God said. He created the plants and the herbs. I don't know why doctors don't use herbs more. I guess it's a business."
She offers simple advice to others.
"I will always recommend acupuncture. You just have to try it. Sometimes you just have to try in order to know the truth about something."
What Martha's Story Shows
Martha suffered from fibromyalgia for nine years. She was in constant pain. The doctors told her nothing was wrong. They wanted to remove her uterus. She was taking painkillers and iron. Nothing worked.
Then she found Dr. Na. After one treatment, she cried—from relief. After three months, her problems were cleared up. She says she feels like she has a new body.
Dr. Na did not treat the fibromyalgia. She treated Martha. She fixed one problem after another until she reached the deep root. When the root was addressed, everything else cleared.
This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and hormonal disorders. 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 was told nothing was wrong—and who knew something was.
