Beijing Men, OMD, L.Ac.

  • Dear Dr. Men,
     
    I’m 86 years old with back arthritis etc. I was experiencing an overwhelming pain that
    swept over my back in waves. Chiropractic treatments, massage and physical therapy
    didn’t help me with the pain.
     
    The nurse in my doctor’s office at Group Health told me how she had been greatly helped
    by Dr. Beijing Men’s acupuncture treatments after I said that I was interested in trying it.
    The physical therapist thought it was worth a try too.
     
    After getting my first and second treatments, the pain never came back. What a Blessing!
     
    My 90 years old husband had a shoulder that didn’t function. He had several treatments
    and now is able to move his arm about.
     
    We both are very thankful for Dr. Men’s expertise, and we heartily recommend him.
     
    Sincerely,

  • Good Dr. Men,

I want to thank you with all my heart for the wonderful relief
you have given me from my pain and discomfort.
    After being hurt in an automobile accident and injuring
my shoulder and neck,you have restored my mobility
and put me back on the track to recovery. As a professional
driver, I had great concern and worry about my ability
to return to work pain free and unhindered by stiffness
and immobility.
    Now, after you have worked your magic, I do not have to worry
about my ability to safely operate a large vehicle in freeway
traffic all day long! I love my job and am so happy to
be able to return without worries!
    Thank you. You have my respect and loyalty.

  • Dr. Men,

About a month and half, my sciatic nerve began to affect my
left leg. It was so sore. I had to take pain pills to sleep.
After two MRI and a nerve block shot, nothing helped.
    I decided to try acupuncture. After one visit, Dr. Men
eliminated all the pain in my left leg. My muscles are still
stiff but that will come later.
    I highly recommend Dr. Men for a nerve or muscle problem.

Sincerely,

C. Parsons
  • Dear Dr. Men,

I am a janitor at a local high school. My job is very
physically demanding and when I am in pain, it prevents me
from being able to work.
    I was in such terrible pain when a friend of mind told me
about you. I had never tried acupuncture before but I
really liked the idea of drug-free pain relief. My friend
told me that you helped several members of her family
with chronic pain problems, so I thought I would try it out.
I liked the fact that you used a variety of treatments (acupuncture,
massage, electrical muscle stimulation, herbs). I was
absolutely amazed when after just a few visits with you,
I was pain free! I am now telling my friends about you too.

Sincerely,

R. Stevenson

  • Dear Dr. Men:

When I came to you I had suffered from severe pain in both
feet, especially on retiring when it felt like someone was
trying to twist my toes off with pliers. I would lie awake
wondering how I was going to get to sleep. 

Now the pain is gone, all I feel is a slight tingling related
to the peripheral neuropathy in my feet. It is wonderful to
lie down and feel no pain. Never thought I'd have the
experience. 

Thank you for your good work.

  • Dear Dr. Men,

I have suffered from migraines since 1975.  They tend to last
at least 4 days and on the 5th day, I feel week and tired.
Even though I had tried everything imaginable, nothing helped.  

When I came to you for help, my entire head hurt so bad, it
felt like it would explode.  I was suffering from nausea and
felt dizzy, I was unable to work.  I am absolutely amazed at
the result of just one treatment.  I experienced immediate
relief and just a day later, I am absolutely pain free!  I
have not felt this good in a long time!  

I appreciate what you have done for me and will tell everyone
I know about you.  

Thank you Dr. Men!

Sincerely,

      • Dr Men:

      I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to follow up with me to see how I was doing. Since completing your acupuncture and herbal treatments my headaches and head-pressure have improved dramatically and I have returned to work and am now able to perform my normal job requirements again. 

      I still remember the first day of treatment session, when you put the acupuncture needles in my forehead and the head-pressure and headache were “instantly” gone, I thought you were amazing. Having the pressure and headache was something that I had lived with for over a year; not having it was an unbelievable sensation. 

      While the head-pressure and head-ache did come back after the session, it was always at a lower level than when I came in. From my standpoint, that in itself was an improvement as no other doctor had been able to do anything.  This pattern was the approach for the additional acupuncture and herbal treatment sessions until the head-pressure and headache was so minimal that I didn’t feel that I needed additional treatments.

      I wanted to thank you again for helping through this medical condition and I would recommend your services to others completely. If anyone has questions, they can contact me at kevmcg@msn.com

      Thanks

              Ghost Poem

       

              I.

       

              Doctor Beijing Men has listened

              to my story, before he ever placed the first

              copper-wrapped needle in my brow.

       

              I told him I talk to you every day, Mama,

              the way some people talk aloud

              to themselves.

       

              He talked to his Grandma that way, years ago,

              then stopped, saying her tie to him was

              too strong, pulling him from himself.

       

              There are people, he tells me,

              who can fill the bowl at the shrine every day

              and walk away, into life.

       

              Others are pulled too far into the world

              of their dead.  Their Yin becomes too strong/

              their Yang too weak to face their living jobs.

       

              They come to him seeking a cure for big, gong-sounding

              broken hearts.  The only cure known to good doctor Men

              is to say, “I love you. See you in the next life…”

       

              and end the conversation with the dead. 


              II.

       

              Dr. Men is asking me about my separation

              from you, did we complete it well?  You and I know that I was lost

              and freed at 23 by your death

              He put the needles in, then.  Gave me the nasty, bitter herb-mushroom-

              foot-smell tea to drink, its stink distracting me from sadness.

              A hard medicine to swallow.

       

              The future of not talking to you yawns before me, dark

              and long, but maybe the tunnel is shorter than I dream.  Perhaps the long

              fall twilight deepens at first, only to shrink into lightness of ordinary

       

              daylight as I drink a last cup of tea with you, for now.  I will try.

              Practice saying a string of words, old but new to me.

              I love you.  I will see you in a while.
