Testimonial of Dalia Whissell – August 8, 2008
I went to se Dr. Cheng in 2006 as I was suffering from headaches, facial, neck and back pain. Also, I head to deal with some very hurtful and stressful situations. Dr. Cheng treated me with acupuncture and suggested “massage” which helped to alleviate a lot of muscle tension. Because I have pain here, there and everywhere (probably due to my age 62) she also suggested I see Dr. Huang (from Florida) who visits Calgary a couple of times a teas. I’ve worn hearing aids for several years and after her auricular treatment (June 2008) I have not worn them since. I seem to hear quite well.
I will continue with Dr. Cheng and acupuncture as I find it very relaxing and beneficial both physically and emotionally.
Dr. Cheng is very caring and a wonderful person (always laughing) and I am very fortunate to have her as my doctor.
Sincerely
Dalia Whissell
· My Story – Warren Whissell – August 8, 2008
I have has two myocardial infarctions. The first heart event was May 2002 where my heart stopped for 41/2 minutes. I was put on life support and they dropped my body temperature down and they induced a coma for 57 hours to prevent further damage. I received an emergency angioplasty. In August 2005 I had successful coronary artery bypass (CABG) “cabbage”. In both heart events I suffered with anxiety and depression. Within two months I had a pulmonary embolism. In both heart events I experienced pericarditis.
I started acupuncture treatment October 2005 primarily to relieve my acute anxiety, depression and to increase my “chi”. I also had auricular treatment.
Within a month of treatment, my anxiety became manageable. Subsequent weekly treatments diminished my anxiety and depression substantially.
In September 2006 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I had emergency transurethral resection (TURBT). After one year and numerous cystoscopes the cancer occurred again and I had another TURBT followed by immunotherapy instilled directly into the bladder (a form of chemotherapy) in spring 2007. To date I have been cancer free.
In July 2007 I had a routine colonoscopy and they found three massive tumours which were removed with laser but the heat damaged the colon wall and I turned septic resulting in an emergency illeostomy. The illeostomy was reversed in October 2007. I now suffer with a ventral incision hernia as a result of the two surgeries. Surgery to correct the hernia is planned for December 2008.
Through all my health problems I was grateful that I continued with my acupuncture treatment. The compassion I received at the clinic combined with the treatment was instrumental in my state of mind (anxiety and depression) and my “chi”.
Last month I had a very bad swollen and infected finger as a result of an undetected splinter. Within twenty-four hours after Dr. Xia Cheng treated my finger (inserted two acupuncture points), the swelling was reduced by 75% and I was able to bend my finger. Within forty-eight hours the swelling disappeared and the infection was gone.
In June 2008, after Dr. Cheng recommendation, I underwent auricular treatment by Dr. Li-Chun Huang. Dr. Huang treated my anxiety and depression plus numerous health issues. I was told that I was cancer free and this was substantiated two weeks latter when the cystoscopy revealed no cancer in my bladder.
Acupuncture is a vital component of my overall health in conjuncture with western medicine.
· Dear Dr. Cheng,
Well you did it again! On Monday (July 28th) I had acupuncture treatment and I mentioned that one of my fingers on my right hand was quite painful and swollen due to a rose thorn puncturing my finger on Sunday. The finger had minimal flexibility and I could not bend it without enduring pain. You put two needles just below the finger and tonight I can bend my finger, the swelling is gone and the pain is negligible. You certainly have proven again the power and efficiency of acupuncture!
Thanks for your help.
sincerely

· Dear Dr. Cheng,
Dalia and I would like to thank-you for choosing us to see Dr. Huang.
Dr. Huang not only diagnosed us both perfectly and advised us both of other health issues but put our mind at ease concerning our most immediate health concerns. In particular, Dr. Huang advised Warren that he was cancer free so his next cystoscopy on July 2nd will not be an anxious moment for him. Also, Dr. Huang told Warren that his arteries were good which has always been a worry. This morning my chest felt quite tight due to stress and the good doctor diagnosed that and with auricular treatment the tightness disappeared. When placing the seeds behind my ear lobe she said don’t worry so much, be happy. And she promptly placed a triple dosage of seeds. As for Dalia, the doctor diagnosed her correctly with face pain and hearing problems. After treatment Dalia found that she could hear better. She advised Dalia that she too was cancer free and that she will live a long life.
The caraway seeds that were fitted in both our ears will certainly help since I remember that you Dr. Cheng fitted me with these seeds back in Nov. 2006 when I first came to see you for help. Also, Dalia said she had them before when she was seeing her dentist (Dr. Young).
Your compassion in caring for us both is greatly appreciated.
Thank-you for sharing Dr. Huang’s expertise with us. Her accreditation in this field is quite impressive and her long association in this method of treatment is quite encouraging for us. The only down side is that Dr. Huang lives in Florida.
Please convey our gratitude to Dr. Huang and wish her continued success.
Again, thank-you Dr. Cheng for opening a new door for us. Our faith in your skills in treating Dalia and I are further enhanced and your compassion for your patients is clearly evident by your actions.
Yours sincerely
Warren and Dalia.

· Testimonial from Cathy D.
We first met Dr Cheng when my son Matt was 11 years old. He had not been to school in 4 months because of incapacitating headaches which his neurologists said were from increased pressure in his brain (intracranial pressure). They had been treating him with medications for months but he was only getting worse. We were giving Tylenol and Advil around the clock and not controlling his pain. When the doctors started talking about brain surgery to put a shunt in his brain to drain the fluid, I knew we needed to try something else.
Dr. Cheng started treating him with acupuncture and within 3 treatments he no longer required all the Tylenol and Advil and was pain free. Within a month we took him off all the drugs the other doctors had him on. The neurologists marvelled when they checked his intracranial pressure and it was normal. Matt is now 15 and thanks to Dr. Cheng , is perfectly healthy and rarely gets headaches at all.
Dr. Cheng made an incredible difference to the quality of Matt’s life.
