In September of 2010, my husband and I were enjoying a beach vacation. One day, while combing my hair, a large "chunk" came out. This happened several more times and in a period of two weeks the rest of my hair was completely gone.
I went to my internist who ordered blood work to rule out Lupus or a Thyroid problem. The results were negative. I then went to my Dermatologist, who took a biopsy sample, and the results were negative. My hair loss was called Alopecia Areata, simple hair loss, but on the extreme end. The Dermatologist mentioned steroidinjections, with no certainty they would work. I passed on this.
I was completely devastated. It just seemed that no one could help me.
Fortunately, I soon learned about Dr. Yueling LI, Oriental Medical Doctor, and is a specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In regarding about Alopecia I found that Acupuncture was a possible treatment.
I immedicately made an appointment with Dr. Li and she began an acupuncture regimen to treat the hair loss and the autoimmune system. Other treatments included traditional Chinese Herbs, tapping with an instrument called"seven stars" (7 blunt needles to stimulated blood to the hair follicles), suction cups, and rubbing fresh ginger on my scalp.
As time passed, my hair began to return but then would fall out again. This continued for about 2 years until finally it all came back, quite fine. It has since thickened up.
During all this time, Dr. Li was very supportive, sympathetic, and was a real morale booster. I am very grateful for what she has accomplished. We both agree that part of the success came from very early treatment which kept the hair follicles from dying. I am still getting Acupuncture and will continue to do so, as long as Dr. Li thinks it is necessary.
Thank you Dr. Li

When I came to Dr. Li's praxis about eight months ago, I suffered from sleeplessness, anxieties, depression and other ills because of family and personal issues. Dr. Li stabilized me mentally and physically, and she has brought back my inner strength. I feel vigorous and energetic, and I know Dr. Li's treatment is the reason. Thank you for turning my life around!

Dear Dr. Li,
I came under your care with severe and complex nerve damage resulting from a low back surgery. I presented with multiple symptoms that were very problematic for me in my activities of daily living. Through acupuncture and your skill, I experienced significant improvement in the symptoms that you initially treated. While I have a long road to recovery on the numerous other symptoms that resulted from this surgery, I believe my best chance of recovery is to travel that road with you.
Your desire to improve the health of your patients is incredible. Your compassion and deep commitment to our well being is an integral part of your success in restoring our health. You are a brilliant practitioner of the healing arts. Thank you for all your good care.

"Do you really care about your patients ? "
Was my first question to Dr Li. I could hear the smile in her voice when she said yes.
After 15 years of suffering chronic pain and trying almost everything in the way of treatment. The above question was the most important to me. Specially after having ones in the medical field tell me " I know your pain is frustration but i didn't know what to do for you. Sometime we just have to live with pain."
I was in pain seven days a week 24 hour a day. After four session with Dr Li i started to feel relief no longer suffering in pain every day and we are still making great progress now i can go weeks at a time without pain. To live one day with pain after 15 years of chronic pain is like a breath of fresh air.
Dr Li's commitment, devotion, professional care, for her patients is outstanding ! This try of care has it's own healing effect or power.
Dear Dr Li, Thank you for the goodness you have brought me and your help to heal me physically and emotionally by renewing my hope to have a pain free life.

Last year I was having tremendous hip pain to the point I could hardly stand for more than 10 minutes without extreme pain. I was told by an orthopedist that I should get start walking with a cane, take pain medication until it stopped helping and then he would need to give me a hip replacement. I went to Dr. Li and with 3 treatments I was able to not only walk without pain, I was able to do up to 20 minutes on the treadmill. Dr.Li is such a great person in her demeanor and professionalism. I am also skeptical of miraculous "cures", and I must say that some of the symptoms started coming back recently, but I returned to Dr. Li again and in 2 sessions was pain free again. I know that everyone will not have the same results as me (maybe they will), but it is certainly worth the money and a try to see if she can help you.
