I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis many years ago when I was 19 years old. The illness is a chronic one that goes in and out of remission. I am a British citizen and so have a British consultant who has prescribed many different drugs to try and deal with the problem, one of these drugs a steroid has many terrible side effects, damaging the liver and kidneys. When I came to Vietnam I was encouraged to try a new treatment practiced by Dr. Huong’s \’implants\’ that involves putting a small sutures under the skin at strategic points on the body, the implants stimulate the acupressure points and help to unblock energy channels in the body. I have been receiving this treatment for two years now and am delighted. I no longer have any symptoms of the colitis, which over such a long period is incredible. In the past I could have expected many weeks of pain and discomfort. Dr. Huong and her implants have literally changed my life, I do not bleed, take drugs for appalling pain and now I even do not feel the need to take Masalazine a drug I was prescribed to prevent the constantly open wounds in my body turning to cancer. I am now trying to persuade the British consultant to take this treatment seriously after nearly 25 years this is the first time I have been well.
