“The researchers note that acupuncture is “a safe, potentially non-stigmatizing treatment that reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain….” They add that the under utilization of mental healthcare workers “suggest(s) that a novel and effective treatment option may help increase the proportion of those with PTSD who seek early treatment.” They note, “Acupuncture is a novel and therapeutic option that may help to improve population reach of PTSD treatment.”  The study concludes, “Acupuncture was effective for reducing PTSD symptoms.”  This quote is taken from the article below depicting how acupuncture alone helps Military personal suffering with PTSD.

Weight Loss and Emotional Baggage Gone

By Mary Cetan | Published November 24, 2017

I gained 30 pounds of FAT after my fiancee decided to marry someone else.  That’s another story which I won’t go into.  What I will say is that I had the direct experience of emotional eating that I could not control.  I also lost my desire to my regular exercise routine.   I became more depressed by the day until a really good friend of mine literally brought me to see Dr. Mary.   She just said, “trust me, I know someone who can help you, get in my car”.  At that point, I knew I was on a down hill slide that I wasn’t recovering from doing what I was doing and I trusted my friend so I got in her car and off we went.

My first visit with Dr. Mary was transformational.  I’m do not understand what she did.  However, when I left her treatment room I felt more positive than I had for 6 months.  It was as if a weight had been lifted from me, even though I am sure I weighed the same amount as I did when I walked out the door.

Over the next 6 weeks, I enrolled in a Care Plan with acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition.  I completed a 21 Day Purification diet.  I am exercising again, my eating is under control and my weight is on its way down again.  I am continuing with weekly care with Dr. Mary as I am on the mend and have not reached my desired weight yet.  I am grateful to my good friend and to Dr. Mary.  I am hoping that I can help someone else by writing this testimonial like my friend helped me.
