[NEohioPAL] Alternative Healing Modalities ***Testimonials***

[Edward Niam]

	Hello Everyone,

	As some of you may already know, much of my training in Chinese
Martial Arts involved several areas of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
They include, but are not limited to, acupuncture, acupressure,
meditation and Shaolin Healing Touch. These ancient modalities are
effective in treating numerous chronic and acute conditions such as
Crohns, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, migraines,
sports injuries, sciatica, menstrual problems, digestive irregularities,
hearing loss, excessive tension and stress, depression and anxiety and
others...

	As a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine for more that
30 years, it is my pleasure to make this expertise available to you.
For those who suffer from a condition that is not effectively treated by
western medicine, feel free to call me to discuss what other options are
available. A course of treatment may include any combination of
acupuncture, acupressure, meditation, Qi Gong, Shaolin Healing Touch and
diet and lifestyle modifications.

	The initial consultation is one hour. You may use the contact
information below or my cell, 330.564.7558.

	I look forward to speaking with you.

	Edward

	Testimonials:

	In 2004, I became very ill with stomach problems. I had lost
close to 30 lbs. in a matter of only weeks, was having extreme pain, and
could not control my bowels; I was going at least 20 times a day. I went
to the hospital many times for the first six months, and had no luck
being diagnosed. I was on a variety of medications, and constantly was
changing trying to find the right mix that would help me. I was seeing a
GI specialist every month, and was still not feeling any better. I was
finally diagnosed one year into it with an extreme case of Irritable
Bowel Syndrome.

	My quality of life went downhill as fast as it possibly could.
At the time I became sick, I was an outgoing college senior having the
time of my life, but that quickly changed due to this illness. I would
not leave my bed because of the pain, and had constant fear of going
out, not sure if I would be able to make it to a restroom in time. I was
doing everything I was told to do by the doctors, specialists,
literature and books. I changed my diet completely, was exercising
properly and continued on the medications and treatments prescribed by
the doctors. However, I was still not improving with all of this. I was
still having attacks that were debilitating, even made me lose
consciousness, I still couldn't get control of my bowels, and had the
fear of doing anything that was not near a restroom. I went into the
hospital at the Cleveland Clinic from an attack just after two and a
half years of having these problems. I was then diagnosed with having
Colitis. The doctors gave me a more aggressive treatment through
medications. I was taking approximately 30 pills a day and also was
giving myself three injections a day. Also, I would have to go to the
doctor's office every month to get separate injections. I was finally
starting to feel better, and even tried doing things I use to do.
However, I plateaued with the treatments and was not feeling any better.


	Just over three years of dealing with this, I knew I needed to
get control of the condition. All the conventional medicines and
treatments that I tried were not helping. If I did feel better, it was a
temporary bandaid that was not curing the illness. Luckily, I was given
Ed Niams name through a person who had used him before, with the same
symptoms as I was experiencing. He had nothing but positive things to
say about the acupuncture treatments he received and highly recommended
that I try it. I was skeptical at first after hearing about how this
treatment worked, but at this point, I was willing to try anything that
may help me. I had my initial consultation with Ed and was very
impressed with his professionalism, all the experience and training he
has had in the past, and more-so the knowledge he demonstrated to me
about my illness. I decided to go ahead with my first session of
acupuncture treatments and noticed a change almost immediately. I was
having less pain in my stomach and was going to the bathroom less
frequently. Each week, I felt I was making more progress. Along with the
acupuncture treatments, Ed also shared with me some Qi Gong exercises
that are to be done daily, advice on my diet, and also showed me a
variety of acupressure points I can perform on myself for relief. The
exercises compliment the treatments, and I feel are part of the success
I have experienced with the overall treatment. I continued onto a second
session of treatments and noticed I was feeling better still. I stopped
giving myself the injections and taking certain medications since
starting the acupuncture. For the first time in over three and a half
years I feel confident about going out and living life, and doing it
with less pain. The changes that I have experienced since the
acupuncture treatments have changed my life completely. I will always
have symptoms and flare-ups due to the Colitis for as long as I live,
but since having these treatments, I will able to manage these attacks
and experience them less often. I highly recommend Ed Niam to anyone who
is considering acupuncture.

	****************


	In 1995, I was diagnosed with Crohn's/Colitis. I have tried many
conventional and alternative treatments. These ranged from high doses of
injected steroids (ACTH) to various diets and homeopathic remedies. In
March of 2004, I came out of a four-year remission. Instantly, I started
with steroids and maintenance drugs. Additionally, I altered my diet and
tried several other "tricks", though nothing seemed to repress my
symptoms.

	With 20-3- bowel movements each day, rapid weight loss and
severe hemorrhaging, it was time to try something new. I contacted Ed
Niam, a practitioner of Eastern medicine and skilled acupuncturist. He
set me up with a weekly regimen of treatments. The positive effects of
his needle poking began almost immediately. By the second treatment, my
trips to the toilet were reduced to 5 times a day. As of the fifth
treatment, all evidence of bleeding had subsided. By the final
treatment, I was back to (business as usual) normal. In addition to the
acupuncture treatments, Mr. Niam suggested several (stretching &
breathing) exercises and diet tips that I have continued to follow.

	I encourage anyone who is dealing with IBS diseases to try this
method. I feel the need to qualify my suggestion by stating that I am a
college graduate and a well informed active patient of Crohn's. I fully
intend to call upon Ed Niam and acupuncture should there be a need in
the future. If you are considering this method of treatment and would
like to discuss it further, feel free to contact me.

	Ed was kind enough to help me when I was dreadfully ill several
years ago.  His gentle treatments were not only effective in healing my
immediate concerns but were so deeply and profound in their reach that I
actually felt better than I had in many years after his treatments.  I
highly recommend him and his tried and true methods.
