It has been about two years since I last saw you and I never got a chance to let you know how much you helped me after receiving acupuncture treatment from you. I visisted you in January 2007 and complained about my menstrual cycles being abnormal. I would menstruate about every 28 days but between days 21 and 28, I would spot with a small amount of bleeding until day 1. day 28 with a normal menstrual flow. You diagnosed me as ‘not ovulating’ and proceeded to treat me with bupishen and yin essence as well as a course of about four acupunture treatments. After this I was cured!! We conceived a baby in April and things were great!! Thank you!!

I am convinced that I never would have had our daughter had I not seen you and received your treatment. I delivered an 8 1/2 pound baby in January. After nursing ended I got my period and it was normal for about 8 months. Since then I have suffered the same symptoms. I am frustrated as I have seen numerous acupunturists but none of them seemed to have the knowledge that you had regarding women and their monthly cycles. I have moved to London and would love to come to see you to receive more treatment. Thank you again for your help.

Sincerely,

Sherry

I was 32 years old when I married John, who was 37. We were in love and wanted to have children together. We waited one year after the wedding before we terminated the use of contraceptives. Six months passed. In came the boxer shorts. Out went the jacuzzi’s. After one year, no baby.

The testing began and I tested normal. John’s sperm count was 4 million with low motility for approximately one million motile sperm. One doctor told us we had better start thinking of adoption if we wanted children, but we were not to be discouraged. After all, it only takes one healthy sperm to make a baby.

Over the next two years I took my temperature and we planned intercourse around ovulation. John sat on ice to cool his testicles. We tried zucchini flour pollen, vitamin C, standing on my head after lovemaking, and every old-wives tale we came across. We tried Chinese herbal tea. John’s sperm count and motility remained low- about 7 million to 14 million motile sperm. We did intrauterine insemination twice. Our hopes rose and fell as the negative results persisted. I began to notice my temperature was not as stable as it was the first year. At that point, we filled out the necessary papers for adoption.

On a whim, we called an acupuncturist who practices at Harley Street, London, Dr. Li. We thought we might try the Chinese herbal tea again, but Dr. Li recommended that John try acupuncture first, and John complied. After two months of treatment, we had another semen analysis done. The sperm count had skyrocketed to 117 million with a 65% motility! We went for one more intrauterine insemination and again it was unsuccessful. It was then I decided to try acupuncture. Within three weeks of treatment, I conceived.

Our baby is due the first week of March, and we are thrilled beyond belief. We are at least the eightith couple treated by Dr. Li who has become pregnant, and we are convinced that the acupuncture treatments were instrumental in increasing our fertility. We are very grateful to Dr. Li for enabling us to experience this miracle of life. For other couples who are struggling with infertility as well, acupuncture presents another option.
