| | | | Introduction
| The 21st century is a turning point - redirecting and challenging the focus of medicine to natural medicine. For the past 200 years, mainstream medical treatment in the United States and in the majority of the world was solely based on chemical drugs and surgical procedures - a sign that the medical system is failing. Doctors could not heal the real cause of the disease, therefore they have to attack it.
Today, more and more patients are turning away from drugs and surgeries to a more natural approach. To treat patients with natural medicine, help them get well without adverse side effects, and assist in their recovery from chronic debilitating ailments is truly a blessing. The medical time clock has turned to natural medicine, and there is an increasing demand in the United States and worldwide - unprecedented in the pages of history.

| What is Natural Medicine
| Natural Medicine is a medicine synchronized with spiritual, mind and body medicines, the three are never separated. Scientifically Body Medicine is a medicine synchronized with three sciences, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Modern Medicine, although greatly developed, unfortunately is mostly a science of Chemistry only. It is not a synchronized Medicine at all.
SPIRIT – MIND – BODY
Natural medicine has been established and used for over 4000 years, making it the longest practiced and most used medical system. It is traditional medicine! With God’s guidance, we are pleased to help our patients achieve a better quality of life.
Modern Medicine & Natural Medicine
Modern Medicine’s strengths are in diagnosis and emergency care. Natural Medicine’s strengths are in health, longevity, chronic diseases and preventative care. Modern Medicine has been utilized for around 200 years. Natural Medicine has been utilized for over 4000 years. It is the traditional medicine. Modern Medicine uses synthetic drugs and drastic surgeries to treat diseases. Natural Medicine uses safe & effective natural methods to treat diseases. Modern Medicine’s focus is on treatment after the disease has already happened. Natural Medicine’s focus is on prevention first, then treatment when necessary. Modern Medicine does not treat the body as a related whole. For this reason, surgeries to remove vital organs/tissue/glands are such common practice in modern medicine – gallbladder, pancreas, kidney, reproductive organs, appendix, tonsils, etc. Natural Medicine is “Wholistic” total body treatment. Modern Medicine treatment often come with side effects – some harmful, some fatal. Amazingly, more than 70,000 Americans are hospitalized each year from reactions to pain killers, such as Excedrin and Motrin. Of these ordinary people, over 17,000 die. And you can still buy Excedrin and Motrin in any supermarket, and take as much as you want. These are FDA approved drugs.
Modern Medicine Gaps
Modern Medicine neglects the mind and spirit. Therefore it leaves an incomplete gap for diagnosis. The human is made up of spirit, mind and body. Modern Medicine neglects physics and biology. Therefore it leaves an incomplete gap for treatment. The body is made up of physics, biology and chemistry. Back to top
Antiviral Gaps Gap of antiviral diseases treatment: Modern medicine has limited methods of treating viral diseases, such as CFIDS & fibromyalgia, cold, flu, measles, mononucleosis, Bell's palsy, chicken pox, allergies, diarrhea, viral pneumonia, viral bronchitis, viral sinusitis, viral cystitis, viral hepatitis, viral meningitis, etc. There are only 2 drugs used in anti-viral treatment: amantadine & rimantaine. They have to be administered within 1-2 days or it is not effective. Natural Medicine offers safe & effective methods to treat viral diseases. Natural medicine does not cover up symptoms or numb the pain and discomfort. It treats the cause, which is the viral pathogen
Gynecology Gaps
Gap of gynecological treatment: Modern medicine has difficulty treating the cause of gynecological problems. For example, to regulate periods or menstrual cramps, they prescribe birth control pills and pain medications. To treat menopause syndrome, they prescribe synthetic hormones. To treat fibroid tumors, they prescribe hysterectomies. These methods of treatment do not treat the cause, but only cover the symptoms. These drugs also damage the body and have harmful side effects. Gap of gynecological treatment: Remember that menstrual cramps, PMS and irregular periods are not cause by a deficiency of birth control pills. Hot flashes, night sweats and menopause syndrome are not caused by a deficiency of synthetic hormones. Natural Medicine offers safe & effective methods to treat gynecological problems. Our treatments go to the cause of the condition so that the body is able to regulate itself.
Immune System Gaps Gap of Immune System treatment: Modern medicine has limited methods of treating immune disorders. Their focus is on the bacteria – thus prescribing antibiotics to treat a whole gambit of infections. They prescribe many drugs to suppress the immune system and dilators/inhalers to open up our passageways to allow more invaders to come. Modern medicine also offers sinus surgeries, tonsillectomies, etc. to treat immune diseases. Natural Medicine offers safe & effective methods to treat immune diseases. Natural medicine does not cover up symptoms. It treats the cause, which is the viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic micro-organism.
Auto-Immune System Gaps
Gap of Auto-Immune System treatment: Modern medicine has no methods of treating auto immune disorders. They let patients who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, lupus & psoriasis continue to suffer. They tells these patients to “learn to live with it” or “it is genetics”. Natural Medicine offers safe & effective methods to treat auto-immune diseases. Natural medicine does not cover up symptoms. It treats the cause of the disease, thus offering wonderful results for our suffering patients.
Cardiovascular System Gaps
Gap of Cardio-Vascular System treatment: Right now, nine out of ten Americans die of heart disease and cancer. 9 out of 10! Yet a century ago, these illnesses were very rare. we Americans have the highest rate of cancer, heart disease and prescription drug side effects EVER in the history of medicine. Gap of Cardio-Vascular System treatment: If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, for example, your doctor will probably put you on a beta blocker or statin drug. These drugs might work for you, but at the risk of side effects such as impotence, depression, memory loss or liver or kidney damage. Natural Medicine offers safe & effective methods to treat auto-immune diseases. Natural medicine does not cover up symptoms. It treats the cause of the disease, thus offering wonderful results for our suffering patients.
More Gaps
Next time, we’ll discuss the following: • Gap of digestive diseases • Gap of bone diseases • Gap of beauty & youth • Gap of longevity • Gap of hair care • Gap of skin care
| Back to top | Why are people turning to Natural Medicine
| The 80 million babyboomers are aging. Due to the managed healthcare systems, the red-tape, the lack of proper care, and the perceived coldness and remoteness of the modern medical system, many Americans are becoming fed-up. (Time Magazine, November, 1998) They are looking to seize control of their medical destinies and are looking toward preventative and gentle treatment methods. The consumer is making the decision that it is no longer enough to offer a drug or treatment after the disease strikes or just to cover up symptoms. They are driving the current market trend toward natural products and treatment.
People are also becoming frightened of what drug medications and modern medicine treatments are doing. In the United States, "properly prescribed drug medications kill more than 100,000 people a year, taking more lives than diabetes or pneumonia", according to the Los Angeles Times (April 15, 1998). A study in the Journal of American Medical Association (April, 1998) estimates that 76,000 to 137,000 people died in 1994 from such treatments. That would make so-called adverse drug reactions between the sixth and fourth leading cause of death in the United States. In hospitals and under medical supervision, 300,000 patients are killed each year due to medical negligence in the United States. That means more people have died annually under modern medicine than all annual homicide and fire victims combined. This number is five times greater than the number of Americans who died in the Vietnam War. (Time Magazine "Special issue, Fall,1996)

| Is Natural Medicine Credible
| Natural medicine is traditional medicine. With over 4000 years of history, it is the longest practiced and most used medicine. More people have been treated with natural medicine than by all other medical systems combined. Throughout the test of time, natural medicine has stood firm. All research, studies, and utilization have been on humans - not rats, rabbits, monkeys, and guinea pigs. Natural Medicine is safe, effective, and when performed by a skilled practitioner, the patient reaps wonderful benefits.

| How fast will I see results
| Results depend on the individual - strong constitution patients tend to see results faster than weak constitution patients, patients who developed the diseases recently tend to see results faster than those who developed it years ago, younger patients tend to see results faster than elderly patients, and patients that heed advice tend to see results faster than those who disregard the advice.
Natural medicine offers real treatment and the patient receives recovery on the cellular level. Natural medicine is not a pain killer or drug that numbs the pain temporarily. Because when the drug wears off, the patient is back to square one or worse. Natural medicine is steady recovery to regain health.

| Will my Insurance company cover
| Insurance Companies:
According to California state law (Senate Bill 2179, January 1985), it requires health care services plans, nonprofit hospital service plans, and disability to offer acupuncture coverage. It includes every health insurance company, health care service plan, non-profit hospital service plan, and every insurer issuing group disability insurance, which covers hospital, medical, or surgical expenses. However, each health policy must be reviewed to determine acupuncture benefits.
Worker's Compensation:
In July of 1997, Senate Bill 212 was signed into law. It stated that acupuncturists are included in the definition of "physician" for purposes of treating injured employees entitled to worker's compensation medical benefits. SB 212 will ensure that you will have the freedom to choose treatment from a healthcare provider that is most appropriate for your needs. Acupuncture has proven to be an effective treatment and a valuable means of getting patients back into the work force.

| What about religion
| At Yeh Center of Natural Medicine, Inc., the founders and doctors are Christians. We utilize natural medicine for treating diseases, because we realize the healing capability of the body. We have witnessed how natural medicine has benefited so many severely sick patients. We understand the power and great results from natural medicine, because it is both safe and effective. When a patient is sick, there are only two choices to recovery - the natural way or drugs and surgery.
Wholistic Medicine
One of the most common misconceptions about natural medicine is that it is "holistic" medicine, associated with Eastern religion and new-age medicine. The truth is that each physician holds his/her own religious beliefs. The used of the word "holistic" is misleading and is incorrectly spelled. Natural Medicine values every aspect of the human body because the body is created perfect in its entirely. Natural medicine views surgery only as the last option, and thus the term wholistic medicine was developed.
Herbal Medicine
God created herbs, plants, shrubs and roots for our consumption. These are living cells that can enhance our own body's healing abilities and is both powerful and natural. Natural medicine is God's medicine! "Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food." And it was so." - Genesis1:29-30
