"DAILY MIGRAINE HEADACHE!"

I was experiencing daily migraine headaches for over 60 days. I was seeing both Baptist and Mayo Doctors. The normal treatments did not work for me. I decided I had to try other options to seek some relief. I chose to visit Dr. Lee and experience acupuncture and listen to his advice. His treatment has been a miracle. The dietary, exercise and lifestyle advice has changed my life. Acupuncture broke the headache cycle and allowed me to have my life back. Many improvements in my health continue. I know that water is the foundation of life. I am slowly losing weight, getting my blood pressure and cholesterol into optimal ranges. Dr. Lee has changed my life.

"I RETIRED MY WALKER"

My name is Rick. I have been a patient of Dr Lee since October 11, 2010. When I first saw Dr Lee I was hobbled to a walker due to severe back pain (scar tissue from spinal fusion), neuropathy, acid reflux, seizures (due to pain medication), diabetic, high cholesterol, depression, etc – I was a mess. I was taking 9 different medications. The first acupuncture treatment completely eliminated ALL pain. Additional sessions treated the remaining issues; this eliminated the need for all medications. Now my walker is a dust collector. On October 26 of that month I started taking Chen Taijiquan at TKA. I am studying at the advanced level and learning push hands. On September 8, 2011 I was forced to stop driving (personal decision) due to macular degeneration, cataracts, optical neuropathy and vision deterioration (cause unknown). Dr Lee performed unique treatments for my vision issues on September 13. The very next morning while doing my Taiji workout my vision had suddenly improved. I could clearly see the dock on the other side of a small lake. The day before I was only able to see a very narrow part of the dock clearly, everything else was blurry. My vision is not 100% and I have returned to driving. I still have cataracts and will get them removed and I have macular degeneration but not as severe. While this seems hard to believe, everything I have stated here is 100% real.

"MY SON BECAME MORE DISCIPLINE"

A little over a year ago I walked into Kam Lee Martial Arts a tired, out of shape, stressed out mom looking for some help with my strong willed son. I was told about the family program and decided to give it a try. The result was a powerful positive improvement in all our lives.

I was worried that without learning self control and discipline that my son would not be successful in school. I was at the end of my rope because he would not respond to discipline from anyone in my home. After a month he became more compliant. Utilizing the same forms of discipline at home as used in kung fu class he has become responsive to redirection and an overall well mannered little boy. In fact, my worries about his behavior in school diminished as I have had nothing but positive reports from my son’s teacher.

My daughter has become more energetic and excited about fitness and being healthy. Prior to kung fu, my daughter had doubts as to what she was capable of physically. Just recently she came home excited about her participation in the presidential fitness challenge and how well she did. She now exudes more self confidence in her physical abilities and demonstrates strong leadership skills.

As for me, the change has been incredible. I have become a stronger person physically and emotionally. I never imagined that I would be capable of so much achievement. Not only am I pleased with what I see in the mirror, I am impressed with the quality of person I am becoming. The training here is more than physical, it is educational and enlightening and because of this I am more focused, patient, understanding and definitely calmer. Being part of the leadership team and assisting with the children’s classes has helped me bond with my children and improve my parenting skills. I have also advanced in my career as I now have confidence in my leadership abilities. I have finally learned how to create harmony and balance in my life.

Kam Lee Martial Arts and Wellness center provides its students with something valuable and yet hard to find in today’s society, a healthy community. There is defiantly more here than just fitness. It is comforting to know that my children and I have a place to be where we can be surrounded by positive open mined people. Everyone here is encouraged and supported by their peers. Since day one I have felt a sense of belonging and togetherness. I feel fortunate that I have found such a wonderful place to dedicate my time.

"OVERCOMING FIBROMYALGIA"

I began studying Taiji in 1986. I was coping with Fibromyalgia and several surgeries which I thought would leave me with a permanent limp. A friend suggested I try Taiji since it involved gentle movement. Within 30 days I began to notice increased energy and less pain. Several years later (1993), I was looking for more in-depth knowledge and I began training with Sifu Joel Timmons. Under his tutelage I learned Yang style Taiji, Yang Straight sword, International competition form and Bagua. Around 1998 I met Sifu Timmon’s good friend……..Sifu Lee.

I had always wanted to learn Chen style taiji and began training at Sifu Lee’s school as well as attending various seminars around the country.

My interest in taiji started with the hopes that it might help to improve my health. As I continued to study, I realized that taiji is a multifaceted Art that encompasses Chinese history, philosophy, science, movement, morals and of course, martial art.

The tournaments that I have competed in were to help me grow and learn more about the correctness of movement. What I discovered is that you also learn more about yourself and that you never stop learning.

My goal as a teacher is to help the people that enter the school achieve their personal goals. Whether it is for better health, perfecting the martial art or just relaxation and fun.

"ACHIEVING SELF-CONTROL & RESPECT FOR OTHERS"

Our son began Kung Fu at the age of seven, when he was in the 2nd grade we were attracted to this form of martial arts because of its diversity in training and the life lessons of the leadership, responsibility and respect.

In the three years he has been a student at Kam Lee, our expectations have been exceeded. He has progressed as a kung fu student in a consistent manner, being rewarded along the way. He has “higher than average” ability to focus, use of self-control, and level of respect for others as well as himself.

The skills he has learned at kung fu carry into all other parts of his life; school, home, other sports and social activities.

We have also been exposed to different instructors along the way, all of whom have been exemplary.

Our son was invited to join the leadership program which has given him the additional responsibility of teaching new students and the opportunity to learn even more skills. This honor not only boosted his self-confidence, but made him more dedicated to kung fu.

"CLASS LEADER WHO HELPS OUT"

Alexander’s teacher told me she has seen a complete 180 degree change in Alex regarding his behavior. She said that at the beginning of the school year he was very quiet and he would cry whenever he didn’t understand an assignment because he was too afraid to ask a question. She said now he has become a class leader who helps out whenever he can and volunteers to help other students, and he’s stopped crying. I know in my heart that his participation in kung fu is a major reason for the change.

Camellia Jackson

CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF AND HIS ABILITIES

Since my son has joined the Kung Fu class here, he has become more outgoing. Adrien has always been shy since the day he was born. He did not speak much with people that he did not know very well. But since joining this school he has become more outgoing with speaking and interacting more with people. He is more apt to try more things, where before he would not try something new for being afraid of failure. Since joining this class he has shown confidence in himself and his abilities.

"EXCELLENT ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS"

1997

Due to cervical fusion in1995 I had to take several painkillers for a year. I developed severe stomach ache. My GI physician diagnosed me as having Barret’s Esophagus. He also found several lesions on my stomach lining. My stomach was pre-cancerous. After prescribing me with Prevacid he said he had no cure.

I started looking for alternate medicine. I walked in to Dr. Kam Lee’s clinic in Orange Park, FL with hope. Dr. Lee treated me with herbs and acupuncture for two years. In 1999 I had another endoscopy done by my GI physician. His astonished words were,” I have never in my several years of practice seen such a positive turn around. Your stomach is clean and pink as a baby’s bottom and your esophagus is also clear of the disease. How did this happen?”

I told him about my treatment with Dr. Lee. The GI physician wanted notes from Dr. Lee to explain what he did. Of course Dr. Lee obliged. This is 2013 and I am free of Barret’s Esophagus.

2012

After taking Prevacid for several years I had a side effect. Chronic diarrhea! I was afraid to leave my house. All test done by my GI physician were positive. The physician asked me get off Prevacid or any other proton inhibitor (Naxium, Dexilant etc). The side effect is diarrhea. He had no solution to the acid reflux or diarrhea that I was suffering from. I contacted Dr. Lee again. He treated me for three months. The acid reflux and diarrhea are arrested!

I am now taking a maintenance treatment from another acupuncture physician in Gulfport, MS. because I had to move from Forida.

I am so much better. I can go out and eat most everything without scanning for a restroom.

I thank Dr. Kam Lee. I will never hesitate to go back to him when needed. I wish him all the best in life.

"WITH A FEW ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS, MY ITCH WENT AWAY!"

Dr. Lee, There aren’t words to express my gratitude to you. When I first came to see you, I was on 5 medications for ongoing ailments plus I had been itching from head to toe down to the bone for 4 straight months. With no rash or any other symptoms, I was passed from doctor to doctor being told time after time that they didn’t know what was wrong while handing me prescription after prescription. I admit it; I came to you out of sheer desperation for relief. After 4 treatments and herbs, the itching was gone. My life was given back to me! The ongoing ailments I was dealing with were Rheumatoid Arthritis, daily headaches, migraines, inability to fall asleep and stay asleep, menopause, and constipation. I just accepted these as lifelong issues and never imagined being free from them. I am so proud to say that after 5 months of acupuncture and herbs and 3 months of Taiji, I am off all 5 medications and feel tremendous! These were all medications I had taken for years to treat the mentioned ailments…of which I suffer no more! I feel better and am healthier than I’ve ever been in my life! With your vast knowledge, skill, and compassion; you have gifted me with a wonderful quality of life. Thank you Dr. Lee. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

"NEUROPATHY PAIN"

Sifu, this is long overdue. When I had my first acupuncture treatment October 11, 2010 I was in severe pain with Qi (“chee”) at a -2.8, this was real bad. When you put in the last needle in between my big toe and the next toe I felt like a miracle just happened – the pain I had for over 8 years stopped. I came in with a walker but did not need it anymore, a great feeling and a new life began. Ironically October 11 is my birthday and you gave me the best present in the universe. With your treatments I have stopped all medications with the exception of one and I will get off it in June. I used to be on 10 different medications and soon it will be 0. Additionally you have provided me with Tai Ji training. With all you and Instructor Charles I am a completely new man in the best health and physical condition I can recall.

Dr. Lee, while reading the testimonials I realized other issues you helped: depression is gone, acid reflux gone, high sugar level gone (no longer classified as diabetic), and other side effects of Western medicine. I am at the final stage of getting off my last medication. You are a HEALER and miracle maker and most importantly a life giver and I am a better person physically and mentally all due to your terrific healing power. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart Master Lee. PS I am going for the gold in July!!

"BONNIE’S TESTIMONIAL"

Dear Kam Lee

You probably do not remember me but i remember you.- i walked into your office with my hand held over my head because it hurt soo bad. i had been to a hand/wrist surgeon and had painful injections and then was told surgery was my only option to be healed. i had no experience with accupuncture other than research on the internet, i admit i was very skptical. i had not had the use of my left hand for almost a year and as a last ditch effort before surgery i contacted you. after four treatments i am very excited to say that it has been almost 2 years and after your accupuncure treatments i have not had any pain at all.

too many people do not give thanks, but for what you did for me i offer you many blessings. thank you again.
