Nancy: Twenty Years of Headaches, Finally Gone

 

For over twenty years, Nancy believed daily headaches were simply a normal part of life.

She had an MRI. She had X-rays. There were no problems found on any of the tests.

But her neurologist, Dr. Claude Fortin, started trying different medications with her. The medications would always make her feel funny, or real tense, or sick to her stomach.

None of them helped.

"None of them helped," Nancy said.

The Turning Point

Dr. Fortin referred her to Dr. Na Zhai.

Nancy was hesitant to try acupuncture. But she decided to talk to Dr. Na.

When she started, she was still taking Neurontin for her headaches. But then she got to the point where she started feeling a little better.

"So I took myself off the Neurontin," Nancy said. "I quit taking it three weeks ago."

The Treatment

Nancy began a three-month course of acupuncture treatments and herbal remedies with Dr. Na.

The Outcome

Soon, she experienced more and more days entirely free of headaches.

"I've had many days that I've had no headache at all," Nancy said. "Which is wonderful."

Her overall well-being steadily improved. She was able to discontinue all prescription medications.

To her amazement, the results were nothing short of beautiful.

What Nancy's Story Shows

Nancy had accepted headaches as normal for twenty years. Her tests showed nothing wrong. Her neurologist tried medication after medication. They made her feel worse—funny, tense, nauseous—and none of them helped.

Then Dr. Fortin referred her to Dr. Na. She was hesitant. But she tried.

Three months later, she was off all her medications. Her headaches were gone. She had days—many days—with no pain at all.

This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with chronic headaches and migraines. 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 neurologist who trusted Dr. Na—and a patient who discovered that daily pain did not have to be normal.
