I started seeing Brenton Harvey 3-4 years ago. One of my friends read an article in “That's Shanghai” about his practice, and bugged me to try the Traditional Chinese Medicine, to see if that could help me.
I came in with a sciatic nerve problem, which my chiropractor could keep in check, but not get to go away. Brenton made a TCM diagnosis, gave me acupuncture to get my circulation going and herbs to take regularly. The herbs are helping and I basically got rid of the sciatic nerve problem. Now I only get acupuncture once in a while.
The herbs keep my circulation going in the winter, to keep my feet and hands warm. If you get into the daily routine with the herbs, it's no big deal and it helps keeping your body in balance. I like the approach to have the diagnosis done for your “system” as a whole, and not just for a specific problem/symptom. He even told me I had problems with my stomach, which I rejected. But I later found out that I had a mild infection in the stomach, which I wasn't aware of. And did I mention he speaks English, so you can understand what he is diagnosing, and how your balance is? That's a big advantage.

Some 2 years ago I was a confirmed sceptic of any thing alternative and absolutely anything to do with needles. After 3 months of ineffective treatment for a stomach problem I visited Brenton. During the initial consultation he identified the problem area without prompting from my self and worked a mixture of acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicines to quickly bring the problem under control. He has successfully unfrozen my shoulder with a single session of acupuncture to give a range of movement that was previously impossible after 12 sessions of Physical Therapy. From the sceptic I was, I am now a convert taking herbal teas every day to keep the doctor away.

Dr. Harvey is an unusually talented practitioner. His sense of touch with the needles is skillful and effective. He focuses on the source of the problems and not just the symptoms. I had immediate positive results from the acupuncture, with chronic pain diminishing and eventually disappearing. And I had dramatic health effects from the customized mix of herbs he prescribed.

I used to get 1-2 migraines per week, and felt very fatigued. As you can imagine, it was hard to function that way. Now, I get 1 a month-I am so thrilled to be feeling so much better! I tried acupuncture before at a very busy clinic for several months, but I did not see any results. I decided to try again with Dr. Harvey and I have been amazed at the results. He takes a lot of time, and the results show the positive effects of his care.

My name is Pam Davis. I am a 45 year old woman from Tomball, Texas, USA who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2000. I take an injection once a week to control my disease. The injections cause side effects such as chills, joint aches, nausea, headaches and extreme fatigue, the worse of these being the extreme fatigue. I had to take another medication to counter fatigue, it had severe side effects.
My family and I moved to Shanghai in July of 2006. I began to have stomach problems. In the early part of 2007 it became increasingly worse. I attended a talk by Dr. Brenton Harvey regarding TCM where he addressed being able to significantly help MS patients.
Upon starting treatment with him on May 24, 2007, I no longer have stomach problems. In fact he has been able to get me off the medication I was taking for fatigue and relieve all MS symptoms. I am no longer fatigued, depressed or irritable. My Medical Doctor in Houston, an MS specialist, approves and encourages me to continue with this Complimentary Medicine because he says I am now “significantly better”.
Dr. Harvey has me on a daily herbal formula and acupuncture once a week. MS is a very unpredictable disease in which Dr. Harvey constantly has to revaluate my condition and adjust my herbs and acupuncture according. He spends much of his off time studying on how he can better treat me in which I am truly grateful. Dr. Harvey has also treated my husband for severe lumbar pain and my 18 year old daughter for stress. He has been a true God send. I feel better and look better than I have in years. I can’t imagine life without TCM!
