Testimonials

I knew of Dr Mee Lain Ling as she treated my Mother once for a bad back and did make a significant difference.  She has a great demeanour, is very thorough and extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about her patients.  My husband agreed to try Acupuncture around June of 2016 and when we went to his first appointment together, Dr Mee Lain Ling diagnosed him with blood stagnation.  At the first appointment he had a BLACK ‘flying saucer’ shaped mark lengthwise in the middle of his tongue which was about 4 cm long  and 1.5 cm wide.

She started treating him with acupuncture, cupping and herbs, as well as a number of changes in his diet, along the lines of an anti-inflammatory diet, with a few more restrictions.  When he started treatment he had extremely dark blood, numb balls of his feet and numb toes, along with a fear of walking down stairs and instability walking on flat surfaces.   She also recommended we get a larger roller for the backs of his legs and a foot roller for his feet to help with the numbness.

After about 8 months of treatments, typically every 3 – 4 weeks, he has improved incredibly, a friend said it was a 150% improvement.  His treatment includes acupuncture, cupping, the aforementioned dietary changes and Chinese herbs and using the foot roller and larger roller twice a day.  He went from holding my hand in a vice grip walking down a slight incline to walking fine on his own.  He went from coming down the stairs on his behind to walking down the stairs normally, although occasionally one stair at a time.  His memory has improved significantly.  The mark on his tongue is currently very faint, light blue less than 5% of what it was originally.  Dr Ling said if he had not come in when he did for treatments, she believes he was headed for Parkinson’s disease, and now, as long as he doesn’t retreat to his standard diet on a regular basis this will not happen.  I honestly believe she saved his life.

She noticed that his dry cough was not improving and recommended he try out a spa/clinic called Salt Paradise which helps with detoxification and she felt would improve his coughing.  It most undoubtedly has improved his coughing.

In addition to Dr Mee Lain Ling’s excellent treatment of my husband, she also treated me.  I woke up one morning with sharp shooting pains in my left hip, after all the amazing things she has done, and is doing, for my husband, I immediately booked an appointment with Dr Ling.  It turned out to be Kidney inflammation, and through change of diet, acupuncture, cupping, using the larger roller on my back twice a day, and Chinese herbs, I went from a pain that was a 9 out of 10 (where 10 was the worst) to 1 in 6 to 8 weeks.  After the Kidney issue was resolved we discussed my menopausal symptoms and varicose veins. She recommended different combinations of Chinese herbs to improve my Menopausal symptoms, which are helping.  I had surgery to have the veins striped in my right leg late June of 2016, primarily because the valve in my groin was not functioning well,  my  varicose veins improved after that, however, the Surgeon still wanted me to wear compression stockings for during the day.  Dr Ling recommended I start using the foot roller twice a day and she believes I may not need to continue to wear compression stockings, period. So far it’s looking good, which is great as the stockings are not that comfortable!

She recommended I also go to Salt Paradise to help with further detoxification and a bit of a runny nose.  It has definitely helped.

In addition, Dr Ling also knows of the best places to purchase products she recommends which makes finding them so much easier.

Over the course of both of our treatments, we’ve come to understand how incredibly knowledgeable she is and how well she understands and adjusts her treatments to each individual person, as not everyone reacts the same way to illnesses or treatments.  We highly recommend Dr Mee Lain Ling, she is an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME Doctor!!!  We have passed on our recommendations to a number of friends and acquaintances and will continue to do so.  On a scale of 0 to 10 (where 10 is the best) we both give her a 20.

1. Rice is the only starch that is suitable for people with AS, or gluten free breads.
2. Magnesium/Magnesium sulfate is incredibly effective in relieving symptoms, since it provides regularity, which leads me to my next point.
3. IBS/digestive issues, toxins, and parasites/digestive tract bacteria, have more to do with AS symptoms than anything else to my knowledge. I don’t have a family history of AS, nor autoimmune issues, nor arthritic issues, though a strong family link to IBS. I noticed directly that regularity and cleaning my colon and blood, leads to near immediate relief.
4. Warm liquids. Anything warm, especially with lemon or mint, helps significantly, when used over 2-3 days, with noticeable though not complete alleviation on the first day.
5. Light exercise, walking, and exclusion of any heavy lifts. I’ve noticed 50 body right squats with proper form helps, as well as very light functional lifts, not exceeding 15lbs.
6. Animal fats, less dairy, more green vegetables. All of these help, though dairy can bring digestion issues easily.
7. MSM. MSM takes a short while, but one will notice a difference when adding it to their routine, especially in terms of flexibility.
8. Yin Yoga. Every yin yoga exercise, as well as the time given for holding positions (at least 60 seconds per position) and breath release/inhaling, makes a gigantic difference.
9. Wet cupping. Every time we’ve done wet cupping with good amounts of blood taken away, the effect has been substantial afterwards.
10. A new addition: I’ve noticed that coffee helps significantly. I’m not sure why this is, and best when hot. It gives me increased flexibility, much less pain, has laxative effects, and increases my energy. I know that the issue with this is potential dehydration which can bring on issues if not paid attention to, so I make sure to drink as much water as I can when I do drink coffee. I think blood thinners help with alleviating symptoms.

My brother who was skeptical at first about alternative treatments, is now the opposite way alhamdulilah, and after he lost over 100lbs, he began researching my condition and alternative medicine, and everything he’s told me from his own research to do with my condition, you already told me almost 2 years ago. He wants to come inshallah when he renews his passport.

She recommended I drink 1-2 cups a day of honeysuckle/dandelion/mint/chrysanthemum tea and also soak my arm in the tea with the herbs and dab some on my eyes as well. Within FOUR days the reactions on my face, ears and eyes went away, and within ONE week my arm wound was FULLY healed. Dr. Ling was not able to see me in person as she lives in Canada and I live in Seattle, so seeing her was difficult. At the time we communicated through email and she was able to cure me, where two doctors who saw me in person and saw my wounds made things worse.

All I have now is a small black mark that is fading away. I am so very grateful that I was able to find someone like Dr. Ling. She cured me by using a combination of Chinese herbal medicine and natural-food based medicine. Dr. Ling truly cares about her patients, she takes time to understand what her patients are going through in order to find what medication will work for them, she also understands that each person is different and their bodies react differently to certain medications and illnesses. Even if Dr. Ling were to move half-way across the world I would still find a away to get to her. I have never in my 28 years seen and/or had such an exceptional Doctor. I hold Dr. Ling in high regard and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Dr. Ling is a blessing to the medical community.
