“I had been suffering from a flare up of my ulcerative colitis which required that I make frequent trips to the restroom (8-10 times daily).  My husband and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary.  Our children had made plans to take us out to lunch including a day of sightseeing.  I was very worried that my frequent bathroom visits would ruin our day so I decided to see my acupuncturist, Melanie, hoping she could help.  I had a session the evening before our sightseeing trip.  The next day I was amazed that I was able to keep up with everyone with just normal use of the restroom.   I could feel my stomach begin to get crampy but then it just subsided and I felt fine.  It was truly miraculous that I had a most enjoyable day that was totally unexpected.” – Frances S.
