Internal Medicine

I was diagnosed with anemia with unknown cause. I had breathing difficulties, gastrointestinal issues, decreased kidney function, severe lethargy, heart pulpits, severe loss of appetite, rapid weight loss, swelling of lower extremities, and diabetes.

I have been diabetic for 18 years. All other issues started in March of 2022. I was in and out of the hospital every month. I had numerous western medical tests done, with all results showing no abnormality. I was given almost 10 different medications and went through blood transfusions that made me severely ill or had severe allergic reactions. But nothing worked to ease my symptoms.

From the first treatment in April 2023 my symptoms started to improve or subside altogether including the palpitations, acid reflux, difficulty breathing and edema.

Without acupuncture I don’t think I would be alive today! Thank you Asher for healing me so I can be here for my children and watch them grow up.

Kidney Dysfunction

In 2023 a routine blood test determined that my creatinine levels  were slightly elevated, indicating some possible kidney problems.  A follow up blood test in 2024 indicated that my creatinine levels had worsened and I was referred to a kidney specialist by my family doctor.

After being unsuccessful in getting an appointment with the Kidney specialist for several weeks,  I saw Asher Loring. After examining me,  Asher suggested some dietary changes and offered traditional Chinese herbs.  

About two weeks after seeing Asher,  I was able to get an appointment with a kidney specialist who reviewed my original blood lab tests and conducted a sonogram of my kidneys.  The sonogram indicated some circulator problems in one of my kidneys and my new doctor conducted a Urine test.  The urine test indicated unusual levels of white blood cells in my urine indicating possible infections.

A week later my new blood test indicated that while my creatinine levels had improved they were still slightly abnormal.  The follow up urine test came back clear. 

A month later, my follow up blood test indicated that my kidney functions had stabilized. My kidney doctor said that my condition did not warrant any intervention on his part at this time.

Needless to say I am continuing to follow Asher’s dietary instructions and continuing to take the Chinese Herbal Medicine

Auto Immune

I sought treatment with Asher for two lifelong autoimmune conditions—lupus and celiac disease. I’ve experienced symptoms for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve tried nearly everything: pharmaceutical, supplements, restrictive diets, exercise programs, and even relocating in hopes that environmental changes might help. Despite all of that, I had yet to find a treatment plan that stabilized my body.

When I came to Asher, I was just hoping for some additional support. My expectations were modest given my long history with both conventional and alternative practitioners.

Within less than two months of beginning acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatment, I noticed significant changes. My energy improved, inflammation decreased, and I felt more stable overall. The intensity and frequency of my symptoms shifted in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Because of the consistent progress, I stopped working with other practitioners to focus solely on this approach.

Asher explained my autoimmune conditions through a Chinese medicine framework. His perspective aligned with what I had intuitively sensed from years of research and lived experience. For the first time, I felt understood in both theory and treatment, and my body responded accordingly. I’m grateful for the results so far and encouraged by the new normal I’m beginning to experience.
