As the Vice-President of a large international corporation, my time is incredibly valuable. Over the past twenty years, I have missed countless workdays due to the pain and debilitating effects associated with Gout. Gout is a painful form of arthritis, which affects the joints. It generally affects more men than women. Attacks of Gout can be incredibly painful, sometimes requiring the the individual who suffers with it, to spend days resting the affected joint(s).
After exhausting all traditional methods of treating Gout (ie. medication, nutritional plans), I sought the help of an acupuncturist, in an effort to prevent any more precious time to be wasted suffering. The TCM practitioner did a thorough examination. If you have never had TCM exam, it generally involves checking the patients tongue, eyes, pulse, as well as taking a detailed medical history. I was put on a program involving Chinese herbs and acupuncture. Within two to three sessions, I noticed a significant improvement. I have been pursuing acupuncture for two years now. Not only have the number of Gout attacks I have decreased, but the attacks I have had, are less severe.
Acupuncture has changed my life! Not only has traditional chinese medicine improved my work life, but it has also improved my personal life. If you suffer from Gout, or you know someone who does, I urge you to consider acupuncture!
