Testimonial:
After he was about a year old, our son began having chronic, painful constipation, with episodes almost every other week. We brought him to pediatricians at least three times over the next 2 years, but the only recommendation we received was to use an over-the-counter laxative, daily for several weeks. However, after the daily treatments, the condition returned, and we were unable to identify changes to his diet that would help consistently. The pediatrician told us to just keep him on the medication, but we did not want to keep our son on a laxative, since although the medication temporarily helped the constipation each time, his appetite was poor and we were worried about long term effects.
I brought our son (at this time age 3) to Master Liao for Qigong. Because he is a very active child, we did not try to have acupuncture. After the first visit, his appetite was significantly improved, and he had regular bowel movements. I brought him for a second visit one week later. It has now been several months, and the improvement we have seen has been remarkable. He continues to have a much better appetite, and he has maintained more regularity than at any time during the last 2 years.
