Hello
Everyone,
As some of you
may already know, much of my training in Chinese Martial Arts involved several
areas of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
They include, but are not limited to, acupuncture, acupressure,
meditation and Shaolin Healing Touch. These ancient modalities are
effective in treating numerous chronic and acute conditions such as Crohns,
osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, migraines, sports
injuries, sciatica, menstrual problems, digestive irregularities, hearing
loss, excessive tension and stress, depression and anxiety and
others...
As a
practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine for more that 30 years, it
is my pleasure to make this expertise available to you. For
those who suffer from a condition that is not effectively treated by western
medicine, feel free to call me to discuss what other options are available. A
course of treatment may include any combination of acupuncture, acupressure,
meditation, Qi Gong, Shaolin Healing Touch and diet and lifestyle
modifications.
The initial
consultation is one hour. You may use the contact information below or my
cell, 330.564.7558.
I look forward
to speaking with you.

Testimonials:
In
2004, I became very ill with stomach problems. I had lost close to 30 lbs. in
a matter of only weeks, was having extreme pain, and could not control my
bowels; I was going at least 20 times a day. I went to the hospital many times
for the first six months, and had no luck being diagnosed. I was on a variety
of medications, and constantly was changing trying to find the right mix that
would help me. I was seeing a GI specialist every month, and was still not
feeling any better. I was finally diagnosed one year into it with an extreme
case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
My quality of
life went downhill as fast as it possibly could. At the time I became sick, I
was an outgoing college senior having the time of my life, but that quickly
changed due to this illness. I would not leave my bed because of the pain, and
had constant fear of going out, not sure if I would be able to make it to a
restroom in time. I was doing everything I was told to do by the doctors,
specialists, literature and books. I changed my diet completely, was
exercising properly and continued on the medications and treatments prescribed
by the doctors. However, I was still not improving with all of this. I was
still having attacks that were debilitating, even made me lose consciousness,
I still couldn't get control of my bowels, and had the fear of doing anything
that was not near a restroom. I went into the hospital at the Cleveland Clinic
from an attack just after two and a half years of having these problems. I was
then diagnosed with having Colitis. The doctors gave me a more aggressive
treatment through medications. I was taking approximately 30 pills a day and
also was giving myself three injections a day. Also, I would have to go to the
doctor's office every month to get separate injections. I was finally starting
to feel better, and even tried doing things I use to do. However, I plateaued
with the treatments and was not feeling any better.
Just
over three years of dealing with this, I knew I needed to get control of the
condition. All the conventional medicines and treatments that I tried were not
helping. If I did feel better, it was a temporary bandaid that was not curing
the illness. Luckily, I was given Ed Niams name through a person who had used
him before, with the same symptoms as I was experiencing. He had nothing but
positive things to say about the acupuncture treatments he received and highly
recommended that I try it. I was skeptical at first after hearing about how
this treatment worked, but at this point, I was willing to try anything that
may help me. I had my initial consultation with Ed and was very impressed with
his professionalism, all the experience and training he has had in the past,
and more-so the knowledge he demonstrated to me about my illness. I decided to
go ahead with my first session of acupuncture treatments and noticed a change
almost immediately. I was having less pain in my stomach and was going to the
bathroom less frequently. Each week, I felt I was making more progress. Along
with the acupuncture treatments, Ed also shared with me some Qi Gong exercises
that are to be done daily, advice on my diet, and also showed me a variety of
acupressure points I can perform on myself for relief. The exercises
compliment the treatments, and I feel are part of the success I have
experienced with the overall treatment. I continued onto a second session of
treatments and noticed I was feeling better still. I stopped giving myself the
injections and taking certain medications since starting the acupuncture. For
the first time in over three and a half years I feel confident about going out
and living life, and doing it with less pain. The changes that I have
experienced since the acupuncture treatments have changed my life completely.
I will always have symptoms and flare-ups due to the Colitis for as long as I
live, but since having these treatments, I will able to manage these attacks
and experience them less often. I highly recommend Ed Niam to anyone who is
considering acupuncture.

In 1995, I was
diagnosed with Crohn's/Colitis. I have tried many conventional and alternative
treatments. These ranged from high doses of injected steroids (ACTH) to
various diets and homeopathic remedies. In March of 2004, I came out of a
four-year remission. Instantly, I started with steroids and maintenance drugs.
Additionally, I altered my diet and tried several other "tricks", though
nothing seemed to repress my symptoms.
With 20-3- bowel
movements each day, rapid weight loss and severe hemorrhaging, it was time to
try something new. I contacted Ed Niam, a practitioner of Eastern medicine and
skilled acupuncturist. He set me up with a weekly regimen of treatments. The
positive effects of his needle poking began almost immediately. By the second
treatment, my trips to the toilet were reduced to 5 times a day. As of the
fifth treatment, all evidence of bleeding had subsided. By the final
treatment, I was back to (business as usual) normal. In addition to the
acupuncture treatments, Mr. Niam suggested several (stretching &
breathing) exercises and diet tips that I have continued to
follow.
I encourage anyone who
is dealing with IBS diseases to try this method. I feel the need to qualify my
suggestion by stating that I am a college graduate and a well informed active
patient of Crohn's. I fully intend to call upon Ed Niam and acupuncture should
there be a need in the future. If you are considering this method of treatment
and would like to discuss it further, feel free to contact
me.

Ed was
kind enough to help me when I was dreadfully ill several years ago. His
gentle treatments were not only effective in healing my immediate concerns but
were so deeply and profound in their reach that I actually felt better than I
had in many years after his treatments. I highly recommend him and his
tried and true methods.
