No matter your car is brand new or used it might "inherit" some gas, and after it was ran out the car would stop. How about your illnesses, if you didn't support them? So as the same, no matter a baby's gene is good or bad, he might die if he was abandoned. How about your illnesses, do you want to abandon them?

According to the Chinese culture, M. D. stands for mother doctor, moral doctor, magic doctor, medical doctor, money doctor, massage doctor, Mongolian doctor (Meng-Gu Dai-Fu), and so on; and F. D. stands for father doctor, famous doctor, frustrated doctor, family doctor, friendly doctor, etc. Among those M. D.s and F. Ds, the mother doctor or father doctor is always the primary doctor for the family. However, whether they would rely on Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine, it is depended on the knowledge they have learned from their parents and/or grandparents; and any prevention or cure is their number one choice.
A mother doctor or father doctor is a guardian and healthcare provider of the family, so she/ he is also a so-called family doctor according to the traditional Chinese culture, but not the Western’s. And a moral doctor whose practice is based on morality rather than on making money; vice versa, a money doctor whose major goal is to make money, instead of helping people to get well.
How about a Meng-Gu Dai-Fu (Mongolian Doctor)? In today’s medicine, a so-called Meng-Gu Dai-Fu should be a specialist, such as a surgeon, gynecologist, oncologist, radiologist, toxicologist, and so on; but in China in the old time the term of “Meng-Gu Dai-Fu” has a long history --- Long before the Mongolian People's Republic was seperated from China, once there was a man whose shoulder was shot by an arrow and he went to see a Chinese doctor who came from Mongolia. The doctor cut the arrow just above his skin and left the arrowhead remained inside his shoulder, which was not a holistic treatment as a traditional Chinese doctor might have done. Therefore the man felt so frustrated. Since then people call any doctor, who could not make his treatment perfect or unable to meet the patients' satisfaction, as a Meng-Gu Dai-Fu (Mongolian Doctor) or a frustrated doctor (a doctor whose treatment could not meet people’s satisfaction and made them feel frustrated.) You might wonder why the Chinese people consider that their parents are mother doctors (or father doctors) and primary healthcare providers. Now, let me give you some examples as following:
Case one: When I was a little boy, once I felt that my anus was itchy frequently, especially at night after I went to bed. So my mother put some black sesame oil around my anus, and then used a tweezers to kill those tiny, white pinworms that came out from my rectum. She did it a few times for me, and all the pinworms were gone. I asked her why she had chose sesame oil instead of homey, vinegar, or lard; and why she had chose black sesame oil rather than white one? The answer was quite simple --- a) the black sesame oil has a nice smell that could attract the pinworms out of the anus, b) its black color provides a better back ground for you to see the worms; and c) in addition, it is slippery so once the worms had come out of the anus, it would be very difficult for them to crawl back in the rectum. For my mother knew how to take care of me whenever I was sick, so she was a “mother doctor” to me. Case two: Several months later when the anal itching reoccurred, my father taught me to use Da-Zao (one kind of fruit/date, black color; used as food and medicine) to get rid of the pinworms. First of all, I soaked a Da-Zao in hot water to soften it, and then poked it thoroughly with a needle and inserted it into my rectum before I went to sleep. Next morning when I woke up I went to restroom immediately; to force those pinworms that already got into the Da-Zao, out of my body by my bowel movement. I repeated the same procedure two days in a row, and decades later I never had any pinworms again. That’s why I respect my father as a father doctor or family doctor.
Case three: In the 1950s, when I was about eleven years old, one day I went to visit my sister, Qiong. Upon entering the front yard I saw she was holding her baby (my niece, Ci-Hui) who was sick and crying. So I took Ci-Hui over from her and started to massage ci-Hui’s upper arms and back for about 15 minutes. The result was amazing --- Not only Ci-Hui's high fever went away, but also the enlarged lymph nodes on the neck came back to normal without any medication. She stopped crying and started to play with me. Since then Qiong called me a massage doctor and magic doctor, for her baby had been treated by traditional Chinese doctor and Western medical doctor for three months without progress.
Case four: In the middle of 1980s, one Friday night I came back home from work right before midnight. Upon entering my house my wife told me that, “The twins, Jose and Jacob, next door are sick. They started to develop high fever after 5:00 PM, and the People’s Clinic (at San Juan del Centro where we lived) was already closed. Therefore, I had massaged them for a while hours ago, but their high fever did not go away.” So I went next door with my wife at once. There we saw, by the twins, the mother was crying and the father and their 7 years old brother were very sad. Obviously, the twins had caught a cold from their belly buttons and got a series of sicknesses, from bloating abdomen, high fever and unable to urinate, to a sign of unconsciousness. I applied Qi-Gong massage on the belly button of the older one, Jose, for about 20 minutes. He started to pass some air out from his intestines and open his eyes; meanwhile the high fever went away and then he fell asleep. I did the same to the younger one, Jacob, and got the same result. Usually they woke up at around 6:00 AM everyday and then played around the neighborhood, but at 10:00 AM, Saturday, when I saw their mother I asked her, “Where are the babies?” She replied, “They are sleeping soundly!” We didn’t charge the neighbor a penny, and they called me as a friendly doctor.
According to my experience, there are 70% to 80% of conditions and illnesses are treatable, curable or even preventable with massage therapy; it does not matter what the techniques you might be applied are based on common sense or medical sense, and it does not matter what you are, a M.D. or a F. D., as long as it worked well..

In July of 1986, I had plans to go to a two-week bicycle trip to Vancouver Island. One week before the trip, after an exercise class, my left knee swelled up so much that I could not bend my leg and needed a cane to walk. Some friends had told me about the positive experiences they had with Pao-Chin Huang, and so I decided to give him a call to see if he could help me. I was a bit skeptical, however, so I went to see my chiropractor, before my appointment with Pao. The chiropractor’s prognosis was that it would take three to six weeks for the injury to be healed enough for me to go on a bicycle trip. I was upset, as we had already purchased tickets, Canadian money, and had looked forward to the trip for quite a while.
Upon arriving, Pao welcomed me and asked me why I had come. I explained also told him that the chiropractor said it would be three to six weeks before I was adequately healed. At this he smiled. One hour later, after he applied acupuncture, deep massage and moxa, I smiled too. I walked around the room and said repeatedly, “I can’t believe this! This is amazing! This is amazing!” I had limped in with almost no use of my left leg and after the treatment I was able to do deep knee bends and walk. I was able to go on my trip, and with the liquid Pao gave me to massage on to my calf, I was able to bicycle, long and hard.
My knee swelled up and locked one other time last winter, before I was to do a long and hard overnight cross country ski trip. Once again, with Pao’s skill and knowledge, I was able to go as originally planned and I had a wonderful time. I have seen Pao at other times when he gave me herbs that healed me when I had the flu, and when I was on the verge of exhaustion. Despite their unusual taste, the herbs seemed to do their job!
Going to see Pao is always an interesting and enriching experience. If I’m lucky, his wife Hui-Yu will be there to speak with me during the acupuncture treatments and to give me the herbs Pao has prescribed. It is an honor and a privilege to have Pao and Hui here in Boulder for they provide a skill and service that I have been unable to find in tradition medicine. I feel that acupuncture and herbs are an important and effective means of caring for our bodies and I look forward to the time that they are more widely accepted and practiced in the United States and covered by health insurance in the State of Colorado.
The following testimony, To Whom It May Concern, was written by Mr. Ortiz on March 30, 1992. I gave it a name as “My Acupuncture Baby” for there were many women, included three acupuncturists, had come to me to induce contractions right before g iving birth to their babies.
To Whom It May Concern:
On January 8th of this year my wife, B, gave birth to our first child, a beautiful, healthy baby girl whom we named L. The following is a short and precise account of the events leading to her birth.
After carefully monitoring B’s pregnancy under the supervision of Dr. M. at the X Woman’s Clinic, we were told that her pregnancy was healthy and on schedule and we were given January 7th as the official due date. As the 7th approached, it was suggested to us that since B was in her last month of pregnancy she should take it easy and not walks too much.
On January 7th, B went for her weekly check up and to our dismay was told by one of the doctors that the baby’s head had not dropped and that there was no sign of effacement. We were then told that since the due date had arrived, we might want to consider scheduling a date for a caesarean delivery or we could wait for about two more weeks in order to more clearly determine our course of action. Needless to say, we became concerned and depressed.
That same afternoon, I suggested to my wife that we go visit my dear friend, Pao-Chin, an acupuncturist from Taiwan whom I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for several years. Although my wife was aware of the fact that Pao-Chin had successfully treated me several times, she was still somewhat skeptical to go see an acupuncturist.
When we arrived at Pao’s clinic, the Ruseto Center, my wife’s hesitation instantly disappeared after realizing that she was being treated by a very gentle and wise man. Within minutes, Pao diagnosed that B was carrying a baby girl and that it was her first child. He then asked us to describe in detail the state of the pregnancy and, after carefully assessing the situation, Pao gave B her first acupuncture treatment while alternating it was a vigorous massage.
His last words to us that evening were, “If B lies down, baby no come; if B walks, baby will come soon. So walk, walk, and walk.” We did --- instead of going home directly after the treatment, we went for shopping.
Exactly 24 hours later, B’s water broke and her cervix was effacing and expanding. Labor had begun to the total amazement of the doctors at the Y Birth Center. I will never forget Dr. C’s expression after realizing that an incredibly radical transformation of B’s condition was taking place. I informed him in a somewhat sarcastic tone that we had gone to “the East” for a different kind of medicine.
The birth itself was relatively uncomplicated and within three hours I assisted in L’s delivery. Needless to say, we were ecstatic. In addition, the bottom line is simple, acupuncture practiced correctly takes care of the whole; western medicine seems to be obsessed with the treatment of the symptoms and overlooks the cause.
Time and time again people ask me whether I was afraid of putting my baby’s future in the hands of an acupuncturist. The answer is that the truly frightening alternative was to deliver my baby through surgery. What could you choose? In our house Dr. Pao is a true hero. Thank you Pao-Chin.
Sincerely,
E. Ortiz.
* * * * * * * According to Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz, the X Women’s Clinic was scheduled to close forever, started on January 8th, 1992, and those doctors would work for a local hospital instead. Certainly, when a chiropractor’s wife went back for a routine check up on January 9th, she found out that the X Women’s Clinic was already closed as scheduled; therefore she decided to have her baby be delivered at home by a midwife.
About four weeks later, the chiropractor brought his wife to see me for her water was broke two days ago, but no contractions. I inserted a few needles on her lgs and hooked them up with a stimulator. Twenty minutes after she had her first contraction, then the contractions came closer and closer; after stimulating for forty minutes the contractions were as close as six minutes apart and persistently.
Then the chiropractor asked me that. “May I do this for my wife at home?” I replied, “Yes, if her water was not broke yet.” Next, he said he and his wife wanted to go for lunch. So I told them that, “We celebrate Chinese New Year today at noon, and my wife has cooked lots of Chinese foods for our clients; some foods are on the tables now, and you can join them.”
However, when they came back one hour and twenty minutes later, they told me that the wife had only one contraction. Besides, by seeing over sixty people were joined us to celebrate Chinese New Year and enjoying the Chinese foods, the chiropractor called the midwife and then decided to go back home. A few days later I heard that they end up in a hospital.
Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a woman who is unable to get pregnant after one year of trying. That’s why a 30 years old woman, Miki, had come to see me for help, because she had difficulty getting pregnant for three years. According to her doctor, Miki’s ovaries and uterus were unhealthy, and by the time of examination totally she had only two eggs in her ovaries. Her doctor had suggested her to receive some injections to be able to produce 9 to 11 eggs in a single examination, and then choose some of them for IVF (In Vitro Fertilization.) Besides, it needed her younger sister to carry the pregnancy for her. Instead of accepting the idea, she came to me for an alternative way of treatments.
In general, for a woman to get pregnant she must release an egg from one of her ovaries and through a fallopian tube toward the uterus, and join a man’s sperm and attach to the inside of her uterus. Since Miki’s ovaries and uterus were very weak, I had to insert needles to the acupuncture points St 36, Sp 4, Sp 6, K 1, K 6, and so on, as well as prescribed some Chinese herbal medicines, a modified Shi-Quan-Da-Bu-Tang, for her to cook and drink.
A week later, when her doctor checked her ovaries there were five healthy eggs, and another week passed he found out that there were up to nine eggs already. Therefore he chose four of the nine eggs for IVF; and after carried the pregnancy herself for 40 weeks, Miki gave a natural birth to twins.
Well, infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. For example, in the early 1990s there was a woman who had four miscarriages in a period of seven months, from April to November. When she and her husband came to my clinic, the Ruseto Center, in November she already had been bleeding heavily for over two days, and they had sex once during this pregnancy. I checked her pulse and knew that there was no hope to save the baby’s life.
Coincidently, while I was taking her pulse it come another woman, Nancy. Nancy had a miscarriage four years ago, and then she came for acupuncture treatment to be able to get pregnant and give a birth to her baby naturally. She did make it and her baby was two years old at the time.
It is said that there are 10% of Americans who have infertility. But according to my experience, there are so many women, including those who had IVF, had miscarriages due to having sex while they were pregnant. Ah! Why so many Americans have miscarriages, IVFs and infertility? The answer is that they do not have appropriate education in self-healthcare.
☺ This was a testimony from Mrs. Melody C. and was posted on the publications of the Ruseto Oriental Institute (current is Ruseto College) in April, 1989.
I first began to come to Ruseto Center (303-449-1686) around August of 1987 when I was pregnant with my second child. My mother had been going to Pao for acupuncture treatments for arthritis, which had been extremely successful for her, and it was on her suggestion that I see Pao to see if he could help me with my lack of energy. During the rest of my pregnancy Pao helped me with certain herbs, but there was no need of acupuncture he said. Gradually, I became more familiar with Pao’s work and expertise through visits at his office and talking with others who had treatments with him.
On February 25, 1988, I started to have contractions, which would come within ten minutes of each other, but no closer. This lasted from 10 p.m. through 6 a.m. next morning and then stopped. I went to my regular gynecologist and was examined and then told that the baby could possibly come within the next few days. Therefore I went back home, but kept having strong contractions off and on through the day.
At 2:00 p.m., (February 26), my mother and I decided to go to see Pao, to see if there was anything he might do to help this situation. I was getting quite tired from the lack of sleep and the contractions. Besides, I was worried that if the baby might come, I would be too tired to have a natural birth. My first child had to come cesarean and I was going to try to have this baby naturally with my doctor’s consent. However, this automatically places you on a high risk level. Pao was aware of this, too.
I explained what was happening to Pao and told him that the contractions had to be five (5) minutes apart before they would let me in the hospital. He said he could help that with acupuncture. He also said he could make the baby turn if that was necessary, so that it would not be breach and cause complications. He then proceeded acupuncture and forty minutes later the contractions were very strong, at 5-minute intervals, and my water had broken. This continued even after the needles had been removed.
We then proceeded to the hospital where I was immediately admitted and had a very healthy 7 lb 8 oz. boy with no complications at all at 00:45 a.m., February 27, 1988. I have absolutely no doubts in my mind that Pao’s expertise and treatment started my labor and helped to ensure a strong and relatively quick labor.
I feel that there is a great need for the practice of competent acupuncturists in our society today. There are many ailments and conditions, which this practice can be most effective towards, more than even the accepted AMA medical treatments. Pao’s holistic approach is most sensible and educated.
However, without the extended and necessary knowledge and schooling required for an individual to be a responsible and qualified acupuncturists, the door are open for too many irresponsible and therefore potentially harmful people to be in positions of calling themselves acupuncturists. Therefore I feel it was vital that the State of Colorado has a program to license qualified acupuncturists, just as they do chiropractors and doctors.
It is crystal clear that each patient is unique, and a diagnosis must be as bright as a diamond, not a rock. For example, I have cured many kids who were diagnosed of having autism and A.D.H.D. (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), but prior to seeing me they had received so many treatments and/ or special educations with little or no results. In fact, the medical terms of autism and A.D.H.D. look like rocks to me, they should be replaced by Noti instead. What is Noti? Noti stands for N.O.T.I., or None of their interest. Why?
First of all, a diamond has characteristic chemical composition, highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties; but a rock is an aggregate of minerals and/ or mineraloids and does not have a specific chemical composition. So as the same, according to my experience, the terms or diagnoses of autism (a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior) and A.D.H.D. are not appropriate; and I found out that those treatments and educations were “none of the kids’ interest.” Now, let me share you with three case histories as following.
Case One: Jimmy, 7 years old, was diagnosed as an A.D.H.D. boy. According to his parents, at school his score was 31st of the 38 in his class and for a 2-hour of composition assignment, all he could accomplish was 12 sentences; but when I gave him 5 minutes to write he was able to complete 10 sentences. His first sentence was “TV is my life.” Therefore, I talked to him to find out the root of his so-called A.D.H.D. Jimmy was the only child in his family, and both of his parents were working full-time, so after school he would jump onto a couch to watch TV as soon as he could. I did acupuncture and gave him some tips to be a top student of the class, and a week later when he came back for the second treatment, both he and his father told me that his score became the 8th of the class. He wasn’t an A.D.H.D. boy any longer.
Case Two: An optometrist (eye-doctor) who brought her son, Tom (11 year sold), to see me for his autism. He had received so many special educations but nothing really worked for him. During his initial visit I found out that he had stomach problem, so I inserted one needle on his left leg, at S 36, and then prescribed some Chinese herbs for him to drink. A week later when he came back for the second treatment he told me that, “Hi Pao，you are my buddy！” I asked him that, “What do you mean?” He replied that, “You are my best friend. You have solved my problem, which has had bothered me for years.”
Case Three: Jack, 7 years old, on diaper since he was born, and was diagnosed as an autistic boy. According to his mother he was able to go to urinate without wetting his diaper, but always has poop on it. The root of his autism was a problem of his digestive system, so I inserted two needles on his legs, one each, at S 36. A week later when he came back for the second treatment, his mother told me that, “Since the initial visit, he didn’t need to wear any diaper again.” Besides, when they came back for the third treatment, the mother reported to me, “The next day after the second treatment, Jack grabbed his older brother’s bike over in the park and tried to learn to cycle all by himself, and in less than two hours he became good at it.
Personally, I would recommend that we should try to find out the cure of problems instead of keep creating new medical terms of any disorders or conditions. In reality, to treat a child we need to diagnose him thoroughly, which included different levels, at least the spiritual level, educational level, mental level and physical level. Besides, we have to check his medical records and educations (both at school and home.) I found out that when the educations and therapies for the children are “none of their interest (N.O.T.I)”, it is the beginning or the real cause of the so-called autism and A.D.H.D..
Well, in order to find out the cure for the children’s disorders or problems, it is necessary to share the knowledge of any treatments for human beings, instead of keeping them as confidential. And, if you want to fool the kids, you need to fool their parents first, except it is a Noti.
