I was experiencing more stress than usual affecting my sleep and over concern. I was amazed how my Relief was immediate after my treatment with Dr. Kalzang. I feel more calm and have a different perspective. I have always trusted the Tibetan medical system and acupuncture. Dr. Kalzang truly understood my dilemma, I feel very blessed and grateful for her healing knowledge. Her new office is peaceful and her staff very caring. A sacred space to breath in our busy Bay Area.” I originally went to see Dr. Yangron Kalzang after being diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma. I also have a number of chronic conditions that at times flare up and cause complications. I told her about my other problems; Hepatitis C, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Symptoms of these conditions included soreness in my legs and pain in my right side, due to liver inflammation. My liver enzymes were elevated 110 points over normal. I was experiencing poor circulation in my extremities and fatigue, and pain in below the liver and gall bladder area, and under the armpit. Western Medicine could only due so much in terms of treating my condition. Dr. Yangdron Kalzang has been my Tibetan physician for over two years. I first went to her because of chronic prostatitis. Western hormonal medications gave me unpleasant side effects which forced me to discontinue their usage. The Tibetan herbs I receive have led to a tremendous improvement in my condition. At the start of treatment, my prostate was roughly 3 times normal size for my age and inflamed producing intensely uncomfortable symptoms. They consisted of frequent urination, needing to urinate multiple times in the night, and sometimes severe pelvic pain. I was diagnosed of Multiple Sclerosis nine years ago. Since then, Dr. Yangdron Kalzang has helped me immensely. Not only has the MS not advanced, but my symptoms have nearly all disappeared -- all without any Western-style treatment. Along the way, Dr. Yangdron has helped me with various other health problems, including an irregular heartbeats duo to stress that my Western doctors missed. I especially appreciate the ample time that she spends during each appointment to carefully discuss symptoms and treatments. |
I used to see acupuncture as a last resort in the healing process. But I have seen it work so consistently that I now see if as the first step in my wellness program. I could not be more grateful to have the services of Dr. Kalzang. Already a lifelong scoliosis and backache recipient, I began suffering upper back pain for a couple of months, during the time of which sleeping and sitting/driving were very uncomfortable. My name is Mary J. and I suffered from spinal injuries that led to post traumatic stress disorder. During childhood and adult life, I had four serious back injuries that were treated in natural ways without surgery. The treatments of massage therapy, chiropractic, Chinese medicine and finally Tibetan medicine, slowly healed these conditions. |
