The invention of insulin has had a profound impact that changed destiny for people with IDDM (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, also known as Type I Diabetes). Proper use of insulin can significantly prolong life expectancy for patients with IDDM. However, insulin use does not guarantee the patient will avoid diabetes complications. Today, even with modern developments in science that have improved the administration, and absorption of insulin management, living with IDDM is very difficult for patients and their families. To date, western medicine does not offer a cure or alternative to insulin for sufferers of IDDM. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers an alternative treatment for patients. A traditional Chinese remedy can be used in conjunction with insulin to treat the pancreas and other damaged internal organ functions, gradually controlling blood sugar and reducing the insulin dosage required over time. The treatment aims to slowly reduce insulin intake while recovering the pancreatic functions until eventually completely stopping insulin usage. Type I diabetes is a complex condition without a western medical cure but the use of TCM methods to treat this disease has shown significant results. Our clinical research has revealed a most effective Chinese herbal formula to cure this disease. Even a patient who has injected insulin for 20 years may be able to lower their blood sugar level sufficiently to reduce their insulin usage after only one section of treatment. Therefore, Type I diabetics can take advantage of this significant opportunity for treatment, using Chinese medicine to reduce or even stop insulin usage completely.

Usually about a dozen acupoints are needled in one session, although the number of needles used may range anywhere from just one or two to 20 or more. The intended effect is to increase circulation balance energy (Qi) within the body.

Cupping:
A type of Chinese massage, cupping consists of placing several glass "cups" (open spheres) on the body. A match is lit placed inside the cup then removed before placing on the skin, cools down; creating a lower pressure inside the cup that allows the cup to stick to the skin via suction. When combined with massage oil, the cups can be slid around the back, offering what some practitioners think of as a reverse-pressure massage.
