Results: He has visited my clinic office 5 times.I am using Quali-herb systems. I treated him with needles only for his two visits. I prescribed herbal medicine and gave it to him at his third visit. 2 days after his trying the herbal medicine, he called me and declared his five year old chronic diarrhea had stopped. He becomes very healthy now, because he can eat regularly, nutrition is absorbed well, and there is no diarrhea any more. He can exercise regularly now.

Synopsis: Some marshal art athletes have dirrhea from the morning until they finish their matches, when they do not get used to be on the tournaments. They feel extremely nervous. Their digestion systems are not working properly until they get over the situation. This patient was in same situation. He was nervous when he got financial and employee problems. He could not manage his nervous emotion properly for a long time. I have treated him five times. But his last two visits to me was for his flu problem. I met him again recently. He became different person. Very healthy now.
