Inspiration from granny

Inspiration from granny
I met Granny in April of last two years when she came to the clinic for upper left abdominal pain and constipation, later a diagnosis of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer was made, after one month on medication, she underwent gastroscopy and the result showed that she recovered completely.

it was about that same time she informed me the pain that had been bothered her the most were waist pain and numbness in left thigh/toes, all the hospitals and clinics she had been to told her a surgery is necessary, but granny is very scared of having surgery, so I was thinking since I treated her gastric ulcer, I wanted to see if I can help her with her waist pain, the X-ray revealed that she had a severe Iumbar degenerative disc and shift in the fifth lumbar vertebra that blocked the foraminal opening, due to the severity of nerve compression, any delay at that point may have caused muscular dystrophy.

Due to the fact that granny is scared of having surgery and other treatment medications are unsuitable for her, I decided to just give a try solely with Enrac CMT, I treated her 2 to 3 times a week with the CMT prescription, if her conditions do not improve then she will have to undergo surgery,she had never skipped a treatment session during those 2 months, her improvement was obvious, she was hobbling with pain, barely able to walk, now the pain in her toes and waist is gone, she can not only walk but also lifting stuffs. She was extremely happy with the result and recommended many of her fellow patients and friends to come to me, I think with patients' patience and doctors' caring and attentiveness can turn the impossible possible.

  I am a Gastroenterologist, but at the same time I have many patients with myalgia. There are many patients who are initially diagnosed with gastric disease , elderly patients who take antithrombotic drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs cause gastric hemorrhage, most physicians do not prescribe antacids with anti-inflammatory drugs because health insurance does not cover, this has led to many patients with myalgia who take anti-inflammatory drugs, some patients are unable to take anti-inflammatory drugs, this is when Enrac CMT

  There are many Patients like granny who are also suffering from waist pain, some many young patients are found to have scoliosis due to their improper posture, and excessive muscle tension. Elderly people suffer osteoporosis,compression fracture and calcification in the celiac artery are common symptoms among elderly people, as a physician I do not encourage surgery unless the patients suffer a disc ruptures or lower back and leg pain caused by compression of the spinal nerves, there are many patients who suffer postoperative residual numbness after surgery, and most surgeries only have a 50-70% success rate, there are just too many other side effects and risks associated with it.

   Some time it is easy for younger patients to relieve the pain by medications and injection even though the pain tends to return. EnracCMT can reduce the recurrence rate for waist pain patients, many elder patients are suffering from porous bones, calcification and poor blood circulation, I used CMT to treat fourth and fifth lumbar vertebral ,plus enhance and enhance opposition (reducing mother/father), with reinforcement on Axlll and Du meridian; the treatment prescription was able to improve patient's waist pain and speed up the effectiveness of treatment, I am sure if as long as the doctors have heart. there will always be ways to bring hope to the patients.

Granny wakes up at 3 or 4 in the morning to prepare all the foods and beverages for her breakfast shop, she has been running the shop for 30 plus years, her because of all injury due to labor, she was going to close the breakfast shop, we are all very glad that she can continuing provide delicious breakfast to all customers.

Granny is a very warm and optimistic person,she goes to the market and prepare food for her whole family on a daily basis, she has been doing her best to take care of the family, she plays a pivotal position in the family harmony,her perseverance, and will power give her self a chance to have her waist pain treated, she stayed optimistic and patient throughout the treatments, I have had patients who stopped coming to the treatment after couple treatments,I will now tell those patients "I will do my best to treat you, but you have to be patient,you will see the improvement after couple more treatments" .

Some patients have a very subjective response and attitudes toward our advice,

I am very enthusiastic to treat those suffering patients but they refuse to believe and listen,I feel I still need to make effort to make those patients with subjective view to understand the treatment that can really help them to relieve their pain.
