Written Testimonials:

"My name is Donna. I have a hereditary nervous system affliction called HNPP or Hereditary Neuropathy with Pressure Palsy. My mother has this condition and her mother also had it. It is characterized by a slow degeneration of the nerve input to the muscles. This situation may vary from one person to another but in my case and that of my mother's, it affects our hands and feet; also the strength in our arms and legs.There is no Western medical treatment for this condition, and even though it is not life threatening it can lead to drop-foot and limited use of one's hands and finemotor performance. For example, doing up buttons, zippers, tying shoes and overall physical mobility becomes weakened.
I began to see Dr. LingDuan just over a year ago for electric acupuncture which has helped me immensely. Last week I was able to move my big toe on my right foot for the first time in perhaps a year. I seeher twice weekly and am able to sleep through my treatments which I find relaxing and rejuvenating. She is a wonderful Doctor but also a friend, one who has changed my outlook on life. For this I am forever greatful. I simply don't worry about this condition any more. I trust her completely and would strongly suggest that if you suffer from this very aggravating neuropathy that you try this treatment. It is not harmful or painful and I am proof that this treatment does indeed work! Thank you Ling."

"To Whom It May Concern:
Dr. Ling Duan has asked me to write a letter of recommendation, and it is a pleasure to do so.
I began seeing Dr. Ling in Feb. 2002 to treat a recurring case of tendonitis in the hand, wrist and arm caused by excessive use of the computer. I was surprised at how fast I responded to the treatment and how quickly my discomfort disappeared, especially in comparison to more conventional forms of treatment such as physiotherapy. Within 10 weeks, I regained full use of the affected areas with no pain and significant increases in strength.
I was so impressed with the treatment of my tendonitis that I began treatments on other parts of my body for different problems. At age 50, I had noticed increasing stiffness and lack of mobility in my neck. Within 6 weeks of treatment, my mobility had increased significantly and I was suffering fewer headaches. I am currently being treated for bursitis in the hip.
Throughout my doctor-patient relationship with Dr. Ling, I found her to be a warm, caring professional, genuinely concerned for the welfare of her patients and always willing to go the extra mile for a client in need. My wife has known Dr. Ling professionally for a much longer period, and has had exactly the same experience. We were both surprised at the wide range of ailments for which acupuncture is effective, and impressed with Dr. Ling's high level of competence.
I would therefore recommend Dr. Ling to anyone seeking acupuncture treatment as a kind, caring and very capable professional."

"Dear Dr. Duan,
I would like to take this opportunity to offer you my most sincere thanks.
Having been injured in a motor vehicle accident, I was in considerable pain when I first came to you. What a pleasure it is for me now to be pain free. I owe you a deep debt of gratitude. Your treatments have been most effective, and you have been a blessing."

"I decided to take acupuncture for menopause. It has helped me sleep better and the very few hot flashes I get now are not as intense. Instead of getting that horrible feeling from my legs up, I just feel a little hot. It is certainly manageable and I am getting my rest at night."

"Dr. Duan is a miracle worker. My husband and I tried for 10 months to get pregnant. On my 5th month of fertility drugs I came to Dr. Duan. She put me on herbs and gave me acupuncture treatments? one month later we were pregnant. I believe that her treatments helped me conceive! I would recommend her to anyone having fertility problems.
Thanks a million!"

--Cristy McMorran, Sherwood Park

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Duan for their care and expertise. Two months ago, I suddenly developed Bell’s Palsy. The right side of my face was instantly paralysed. My mouth and eyebrow were drooped ½ “ lower on the right side and I was unable to close my right eye. My mouth could not seal around a cup, making drinking and chewing food quite difficult. In short, my facial contortions appeared similar to the effects of a moderate stroke. My family doctor prescribed a short course of drug treatment (prednisone and Valtrex, an anti-viral agent) and I was informed that basically, this was a wait and see situation. He explained that in most cases, patients with Bell’s recovered anywhere between three months to a year. In some cases (<25%) the paralysis is permanent.
After a few weeks of no apparent change in my condition, and my frustration mounting, a friend recommended acupuncture treatment. She referred me to the Acupuncture Care Holistic Centre, as she herself had been a patient there. Being sceptical, I first did some research and also conferred with my family doctor. Acupuncture seemed a valid treatment and so I made a course of treatment with Dr. Duan.

After initial appointments for assessment of my general health and the extent of my condition, the treatment was fully explained to me, and the treatments began. I received acupuncture treatments, alternated with electrical stimulation, and two herbal remedies to take on a daily basis. Dr. Duan is very thorough and intuitive, and she saw very quickly that my right shoulder and neck were also involved. These areas were included in my sessions. The result is that today, I am almost completely recovered, and, if one was to believe the Bell’s prognosis, I am several months ahead of the game. Each acupuncture treatment leaves my face feeling a less tight and improved in appearance. I appreciate every line that returns to my face, and will never again complain at the sign of the latest wrinkle! I believe my accelerated recovery has everything to do with the acupuncture treatments and the level of expertise of my two doctors at the Acupuncture Care Holistic Centre. From my heart, I thank them both for their care during this humbling experience.
-- Gratefully, Will Hankinson
