Testimonials Rick Tetzlaff - Recording mixer 818-994-2685 RTETZLAFF@PACBELL.NET I am writing this letter to give my highest recommendation to Dr. Jay Ryu L.Ac. ... It was then that several events in my life occurred at once and had immediate negative effects on my health. ...I was diagnosed with diabetes. Furthermore, my new job which took an hour and a half, each way, to drive to, had something in the air to which i\I wasa chronically allergic.... It was then that i decided to seek Dr. Ryu's help. Oriental medicine has proven itself for thousand of years and I wasn't about to ignore it's benefits. He assured me that both the allergies and the diabetes could at least be improved significantly, however, it took a long time for both conditions to develop( my diet and work schedule for the last four years had been mainly responsible, the events of last year had simply been the last straw) and would take time to heal. The side effects would be increased energy, feeling ten years younger and freedom form a debilitating lifestyle that would push my body further towards exhaustion and poor health. This was more attractive to me. I've never envisioned myself volunteering to be a pincushion, however, the benefits far outweighed the imagined discomfort and the imagined discomfort far exceeded the minimal discomfort that I actually experienced. The western medical doctor in the mean-time had given me some samples of one of the drugs for diabetes and for allergies. The allergy medicine was almost completely useless at twice the dosage and I dropped it and the diabetes prescription was fine for the short term. The effects of Dr. Ryu's allergy treatment were evident within one week; I immediately felt better. My allergies had disappeared within three weeks of his treatments. Then Dr. Ryu began to treat my diabetes with herbal medication. The treatment for allergies had given me so much added energy that I was able to stop taking my diabetes drug. Over the next five months, I continued with the treatment which has given me energy, endurance, perfect health, and I can even enjoy a normal (albeit healthier) diet without worrying about the long term effects of a single chocolate bar. And now the treatment has caused my glucose levels to fall to near the bottom of the scale 85 mg/dl on an empty stomach. He is a talented healer, he cares about his work, he enjoys making people healthy again, and he doesn't sugar coat his words. He is very direct about confronting the actual source of illness. Personally, I like this honest and straightforward approach. It tells me that Dr. Ryu is truly interested in improving the health and quality of life for his patients and for me it was one of the most worthwhile investments I've ever made. Please feel free to contact me if your have any questions about my experience. Rita Solomon For several years I have been the prey of a malfunctioning Digestive System. I was plagued with frequent constipation, back pains, fatigue, irrepressible burping and a failing memory. I have seen a medical doctor and have been under her care for a number of years. For several months, my husband and step-son have been seeing an Acupuncturist here in Burbank named Dr. Jay Ryu(Dr. Yu). I noticed my husband's blue swollen legs, from lack of circulation, changing in size and color. They look healthier and he generally seemed to feel better. The leather like reddish wrinkles under his eyes have all but disappeared and his eyes are by and large brighter. My step-son, 30 years old, has had a life-long weight struggle and a serious bout with asthma/bronchial problems. He is finally breathing much better and has inconspicuously dropped quite a bit of weight. My situation was growing worse and i felt as though my intestines were going to rupture. I did not feel good or look well. My husband convinced me to give Dr. Yu a try since nothing else seemed to have any affect other than an inadequate flush of a harsh laxative. I have since been seeing Dr. Yu for a little over one month. Since then the back pains that kept me from doing all the things I love and need to do like exercising at Curves, sitting, standing, walking and doing daily chores have disappeared. I have more energy and the pressure I felt from my intestines has vanished completely. I am hopeful and looking forward to the day I will have my Digestive system working properly on its own again. Today I am not only getting more things done but I feel much lighter, happier and more alive. Sudi W. Olliver Los Angeles, Ca I began weekly acupuncture treatments with Dr. Jay Ryu, L.Ac., spring 2004. The Psychiatrist I see for depression and bipolar disorder recommended I resume acupuncture treatments to improve physical health. I felt very stressed and depressed. My left shoulder ached nearly every afternoon. I needed near 12 hours of sleep nightly. I got up several times per night to urinate, disturbing deep restorative sleep. Thigh areas were constantly sore and hurt when doing normal daily stretching exercises; walking three miles a day is part of my exercise routine; it had become painful.I felt stiff and sore walking, and especially after sitting for short times. My body was recovering extremely poorly after normal exercise. At 51 years old, I refused to attribute health problems and aches to normal aging. Slowly -- through Dr Ryu's weekly acupuncture treatments -- the aching shoulder diminished; soreness in thighs diminished greatly. My body recovers well after normal exercise again. I am better able to handle work stress; no longer feeling overwhelmed or overloaded. More calm, especially after an acupuncture treatment. As of November 2004, I am much improved -- physically, mentally and emotionally. Pharmaceutical drugs for depression and bipolar disorder have been cut 50% and 75%. Left shoulder rarely aches, then only briefly and mildly when I am very tired. Thighs no longer stay stiff and sore. My body recovers from exercise much quicker. I don't get up during the night to urinate. Quality of sleep is much improved. Digestion is much better. At 52 years old, I have a greatly improved sense of well being. My experience with Dr. Ryu is positive, productive and encouraging. Victoria Marie Viscarra Canyon Country, Ca Ten years ago, I had herniated the disk between L4 & L5 on the left side. After contemplating surgery, I sought physical therapy, which helped, but created more physical problems. When I came to Jay for treatment, I had a myriad of physical problems. I couldn't bend, kneel, sit cross-legged or runt to save my life. I was under chiropractic care for years with no relief. Then, my current chiropractor told me she couldn't help me anymore and recommended I make an appointment with an acupuncturist, which led me to Jay. Under Jay's care I learned I had attachments, which is where the muscle attached to the ligament. I had internal problems, as well. My digestion was not functioning properly, nor my liver or kidneys. I had ringing in my right ear, which left me unable to hear. I was constantly tired and sleeping during the day. I was not able to stand up straight and I had to bend my knee to lessen the pain. I was using my electrical stim every night. My sinuses were constantly "on" and I was miserable. The digestive process is the key to the other internal organs working correctly. But, my recovery process was slow and I was frustrated. I conveyed my frustration to a friend and he indicated that a person's emotional well-being plays a part in recovery. So, I started the process of letting go of the past. And guess what? I started to see a change in how my body was responding to the treatments. It was slow, but it was happening. There were setbacks, of course, because of the attachments. My recovery process has been slow, with my treatment lasting over a year and a half. I have setbacks, but they are minor compared to the setbacks of a year ago. Acupuncture saved me. Jay saved me. I thought I was relegated to living in pain for the rest of my life. Without you, I would still be living in constant pain. Thank you, Jay. Armenoohi Alverdian Glendale, Ca We really want to appreciate to you after all you've done for may health and my husband. When we walked your office the first time, my husband Pat was in very unhealthy condition. He had two accident. The hospital couldn't do anything for him, but you cured him. You gave him life and return back his health and he got released from the depression. Then, for me, my knee was in very bad condition, but i am okay now with your treatment. We want to tell you we really appreciate and thank you. |
