E. B. Testimony 01-25-2018   

I started having right upper quadrant stabbing pain in February 2016. My doctors could not find anything wrong. I felt extremely fatigued, suffered from indigestion and the right side of my abdomen was swollen. I tried a raw diet, ate nothing but green salads for about 3 months. I did get a bit better but still felt like life was leaving me slowly and I would die in the foreseeable future. I turned to acupuncture and got a referral to see Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM. I first visited Dr. Chen in December 2016. I followed his advice for a strict diet, took the Chinese herbal supplements and tea he gave me. Within 3 days of starting the program, the stabbing pain was gone. It took about 4 more months for me to feel like I was “going to make it”. I continued the diet that I now adopted as a lifestyle change and took supplements and tea as directed for a full year. Recently, I had my gallbladder taken out and I feel well. I am off supplements for now, but will not hesitate to go back to “my Chinese tea” shall I feel the need for it.
Without Dr. Chen’s help I know I would not be here to write this.
Forever grateful, E. B.

Infertility – IVF

My name is C. M. and here is a testimony of my IVF case.

I was diagnosed with an infertility condition in 2015. I decided to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), although the chances of success were very slim. I also have lower back pain, headaches, and a history of multiple urinary tract infections. Before my second IVF in 2018, I consulted Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM, who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. I started acupuncture, a special diet, and Dr. CJ’s Chinese Herbal Formulas; all under Dr. CJ’s supervision. The IVF resulted in a single embryo that I decided to transfer in early 2018. Even though I had one embryo, I became pregnant in early 2018. I continued my acupuncture sessions with Dr. Chen, and in 10-2018, I gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby. Dr. Chen is very sincere in what he does. I am very appreciative of Dr. Chen’s sincerity and the knowledge that he has. I am grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone seeking IVF treatment. I couldn’t have done this without him! Thank You Dr. CJ, C. M. 6-22-2019

My name is D.S.; here is my testimony of my infertility condition.

I have numerous health challenges in my life; infertility is one of the main issue. At a young age, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and had to work hard every day to maintain a pain-free life. My back problems later in life manifested in numerous other health problems from digestion to allergies and most important a weak immune system and very low energy level at all times. Overall, I lived with poor health through my life.  In my mid-thirties, I was diagnosed with serious immune disorder disease and had to undergo treatments that could also have a negative impact on fertility. At the time when I started treatments, my fertility levels were already low. We tried having a baby for two years and when I hit 40 years mark, I was told by doctors that my chances are very slim. Between three doctors, I was given 5% – 20% chances with IVF. We fortunate consulted with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine), who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. Dr. CJ gave me his herbal teas and supplements and put me on a special diet. For two years, I followed the regimen Dr. CJ provides including dietary and herbal procedures. In addition, Dr. CJ had a lot of confidence in me and was not concerned about my biological clock and my fertility levels.  Instead, Dr. CJ focused on my overall health condition and how to get me balanced. I followed the regimen on a daily basis for two years and I was able to get pregnant naturally at December 2012. Dr. CJ also provided guidance that helped me to have a healthy pregnancy. Now we have three-month-old healthy baby boy. We will always be thankful for Dr. CJ help in our path to happiness. I am more optimistic about my health as I believe now, that you can manage and overcome difficulties with the right approach and discipline. We will be forever grateful. Thank you Dr. C J Chen! Sincerely, D.S. 12-10-2013  

My name is S.K. here is my testimony of my healthy condition,

I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) 15 years ago at the age of 18 and was placed on birth control pills to regulate my cycles, which I remained on until a couple years ago when my husband and I decided we were ready to start a family.  I knew that PCOS was a leading cause of infertility, and because my menstrual cycles were still all over the place, I knew conceiving would be difficult, so I knew I wanted to try and get my cycles regulated before trying to conceive.  I initially visited a reproductive endocrinologist, who confirmed that my progesterone was low as well. The western medical infertility treatment is a standard procedural, but I knew I wanted to explore other options first.  I decided to take control of my health and seek out alternative methods, I consult with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J), DAOM, who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. Dr. CJ gave me acupuncture and his Chinese herbal teas with a special diet. In my very first month (Nov 2011) of acupuncture (one time a week) and his Chinese herbal tea, I had a 28-day cycle.  I then continued to have a regular 28 day cycle for the next 4 months. By March of 2012, Dr. CJ gave us the green light to try and conceive, and I am so happy to say that we conceived that very month (April 2012)! To say we were pleasantly shocked is an understatement!  I was even more shocked upon my initial visit to my OB/GYN, which showed my hormone levels were all terrific, including progesterone!  I continued to have acupuncture throughout my entire pregnancy, as well as soaking my feet in the herbal water. We had baby girl during the end of November 2011; and I firmly believe this is the reason that I had a wonderful pregnancy with energy and good mood, and a sweet baby, who is calm and happy. Thank you Dr. CJ. My family and I appreciate what you have done for us more than you know. I highly recommend Dr. CJ and have referred him to many people I have encountered who are experiencing PCOS symptoms or fertility issues. Thank you Dr. CJ ….. Warmth, S. K. 02-06-2013

Infertility – IVF

My name is A. S. and M. S. here is my testimony of my IVF case.

My husband and I tried for a few years to have a child naturally; my OBGYN had both us tested to see if there were any particular reasons why we have yet to get pregnant. The result of the testing was negative as there were no specific problems with either of us. Our attempts for the past several years always ended with no success, and we wondered how long this would take, or if we even had missed our chance. Due to our age (over 40) the best chances were with IVF (in vitro fertilization). For this reason alone, we decided to pursue the IVF process. But the first IVF was not successful. We heard about Dr. Chen from my husband’s co-worker/friend; we consulted Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. Dr. C J gave me acupuncture and put me on a special diet to increase our chances. I started taking the herbal tea and also did acupuncture once a week during the second time of IVF.

The second IVF was not successful, but we found that my uterine wall was much thicker than the first time and felt that my condition had changed quite a bit from the first time. We continued to try the third IVF with acupuncture and herbal teas support through the third IVF cycle. This time we were really surprised that I succeeded in producing 8 follicles (twice the amount of other IVF cycles). Of the 8 follicles, 5 were fertilized and became eggs for placement. The cycle was concluded in December, and on New Year’s Eve, we received a phone call from our IVF doctor that we were successful, and I had become pregnant. It was truly a wonderful experience and feeling to start the New Year knowing I was finally pregnant. My pregnancy was very easy; I didn’t get any morning sickness and was able to spend a happy time until my daughter was born. She was safely born on September 9, 2013, at 7 pounds 13 ounces, and twenty inches long. She is a beautiful and healthy little girl.

We are convinced that Dr. Chen’s acupuncture and his herbal remedies schedule in combination with the IVF medication was the reason we were successful. I don’t believe the IVF process alone would have had the same positive results. We truly appreciate his efforts and highly recommend him to anyone seeking to become pregnant. Thank you very much, Dr. Chen!!  A. S. and M. S. 10-08-2013

My name is J. Y. and here is my Testimony of my IVF case:

I had to undergo IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) as there was a medical history of me having endometriosis. I had been trying to get pregnant for about 5 years with all kinds of fertility treatments and nothing worked. I finally started going to a friend of Dr. Chen’s for Acupuncture and still had no success in getting pregnant. Then, my acupuncturist introduced me to Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM, who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. Dr. CJ put me on his herbs, oils, and a special diet. I did his treatment along with acupuncture for one year straight. Then, I did my IVF again in 2009. I finally succeeded to have a pregnancy in September 2009. In May 2010, I delivered a Beautiful, Healthy baby girl. I can’t thank Dr. C J enough!! He is always sincere and very knowledgeable in all that he does for people. I highly recommend Dr. C J to anyone who is seeking IVF treatment. I am now seeing him again for my second Baby.Thank You, Dr. Chen (C J) ……J. Y., 02/21/2013

My name is R. R. and here is a testimony to my IVF case.

I had to undergo IVF (in vitro fertilization) as there was a medical history of genetic problems in the family and the chances of getting a good embryo were almost next to none. I would undergo IVF every time and get a good supply of eggs but almost all of the embryos would be defective. I had two failure of IVF. Before my third IVF in 2010, I was consulting with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. Dr. C J gave me acupuncture and put me on a special diet. After the embryo transfer was successful, I was pregnant in 2010. I had my baby in 2011, and she is now one and half years old, a very naughty toddler and healthy baby. Dr. Chen is very sincere in what he does. I am very appreciative of Dr. Chen’s sincerity and the knowledge that he has. From personal experience, I have found Dr. Chen to be both honest and sincere in his work and as a person. My husband and I have a lot of respect for him and are grateful to him for his help and would recommend him to anyone seeking IVF treatment Thank You Dr. CJ…..R.R. 11-8-2012

My name is V. P. Here is my health condition testimony

My husband and I tried to conceive for 5 years. We tried 2 IVF and 1 IUI. Everything was unsuccessful, painful and left me with horrible side effects. Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J_DAOM) helped me get pregnant naturally. I had a beautiful healthy little girl. My pregnancy was risky due to my age and blood disorder. My baby was full term and she had a natural birth without any complications. With Dr. CJ’ treatment, I was in the best shape and avoided the risk of multiple pregnancies. We were able to conceive the second time on our own. Thanks to Dr. Chen. 12-10-2019 V. P and Dr. D. P.

Menstrual Bleeding

My name is S. A. Here is my health condition testimony I have been suffering from abnormal menstruation cycle with heavy bleeding since the birth of my first child for over 5 years. Each month, my menstrual cycle would last over three weeks with large amounts of blood, clots and nighttime hot flush. I only had a few days break; then my cycle would start over again and again. During past years, I have tried birth control pills, but I could not continue because of side effects. I was prescribed progesterone pills at one point which did not work and also had a D & C after being sent to the hospital.  This immediately stopped the bleeding, but only for a short time. In November of 2012, I found Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J), DAOM., who practices Traditional Chines Medicine and utilizes Chines herbal Remedies. He suggested using his formulas of Traditional Chinese Herbs to support and balance my condition.  As well as changing to a healthier diet. After about five months, my abnormal menstruation bleeding condition gradually better. Bleeding began to stop for a longer period of time; and finally, my menstruation came back to normal cycle for over 18 months. I began having heavy cycles again after having stopped taking the herbal pills for a while. I decided to go back to Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) herbal formulas and my menstruation cycle went back to normal condition quickly. My health condition and energy feels much better. I would recommend at least trying the herbal remedies before trying other alternatives. I really appreciate Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) for his care and herbal remedies.                      ~ S. A. 03-28-2014 

Ovarian Cysts

My name is Laura, M. Here is my health condition testimony I have been suffering from ovarian cysts for over 10 years. I had low abdominal pain most days but severe cramps at every period cycle; cramps that would interfere with my daily activities. After seeking different solutions for over 3 years, my cramps were still not getting better, and, on top of that, I had really hard time to get pregnant. I started seeing Dr. Chen in January 2009. He started me on remedies with Chinese Herbal Formulas. After about one month, my cramps were much improved, and after another 2 months, they were completely gone; I had no more breast tenderness, no more bloating before my period, and no more cramps. The most important thing is that in September 2009, I got pregnant with my daughter that is 15 months now. Thank you Dr. Chen. Laura, M. 10-18-2011.

Hair Loss

In August of 2012, we noticed two small bald patches on our 12-year-old son’s scalp. While the patches continued to enlarge, he started to lose hair along his hairline, legs, and arms. He additionally suffered from asthma and food allergies. In January 2013, we tried steroid injections and ointment prescribed by the dermatologist, but our son’s scalp broke out in a rash and his skin started to thin. We made an appointment with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (CJ), D.A.O.M. (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine), who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and uses Chinese herbal remedies. He was extremely kind and made our son feel very comfortable. Dr. Chen was expedient with his evaluation and recommended herbal tea, supplements, a foot soak, and topical herbal oil. He additionally made food and lifestyle recommendations, such as acupuncture. We returned to see Dr. Chen 9 weeks later. Our son’s hair had already started to grow back with about 25% improvement! His hair was still thinning, but at a much slower rate. We continued to follow Dr. Chen’s advice and returned 10 weeks later. At this appointment we were very pleased to report almost complete regrowth! At our appointment in July, another 10 weeks later, our son had 100% regrowth of all his hair and had grown 4 1/2 inches in height from the previous year! His pediatrician was impressed with our son’s progress and health and recommended that he continue to see Dr. Chen.  In November of 2013, we were happy to report a thick and full head of hair on our son, as well as only 1 incident of wheezing in gym class since last year.   We can’t thank Dr. Chen enough for all he’s done to improve our son’s health. It’s not easy to follow all of his advice, but very much worth it. J.S., November 24, 2013

Asthma

My son C.K. began having problems with asthma when he was six months old. It started when he became sick with a cold and subsequently had wheeziness.  After being evaluated by his pediatrician, C.K. was sent home with a nebulizer, medication, and a diagnosis of asthma. Over the next six months, we would treat him using the nebulizer when he became sick as that seemed to trigger his asthma attacks.  One night, while on vacation, he had an asthma attack.  He was not sick at the time, and it seemed to be allergy related.  His asthma seemed to be progressing, and his attacks developed more easily. Having struggled with asthma my entire life, I knew the path that he was headed down.  My medical doctor had always prescribed medication to treat the symptoms of my own asthma and never addressed the reason I was asthmatic.  Fortunately, I, myself, had already been under Dr. Chen’s Chinese herbal remedies care and knew that his treatments had helped me tremendously with my own condition.  As soon as we returned home from vacation, I took C.K. to have Dr. Chen evaluate him; he was one year old at the time. My son was completely comfortable with Dr. Chen (DAOM), who is extremely friendly, warm, and very knowledgeable. Dr. Chen recommended some changes to his diet and sent us home with herbal tinctures.  I’m so happy to say that C.K. has never had an asthma attack since. Dr. Chen helped me to realize that I can have control over my son’s health, and we don’t have to become victims to what I thought was the inevitable. Thank you, Dr. Chen, for giving our family the tools necessary to take control of our health. Thank you so very much for everything you have done for us. We are so glad to have you in our much healthier lives!                                              L.K, J.K, and C.K. clients since 2008

He gave me acupuncture once a week; my hip muscle spasms and pain felt 70% better after only going through acupuncture five times; also, I took his Chinese herbal formulas and drank more water. I felt 100% better after eight times of acupuncture. I am a satisfied client; I am so grateful I took his advice and have completed the acupuncture remedies.

My name is K.V. and here is my testimony of my health condition, I had been suffering from dry nose, mouth and throat; chronic sore throat, oversized tonsils; chest tightness with a tingling sensation, often severe cough, and it was sometimes very difficult to breathe, very difficult to fall into sleep, and I had very little energy. My moods and emotions were uncontrollable with feelings of anger, depression, sadness, and no patience at all. My skin was very dry and itchy; my hair was very thin; I had extreme stomach pain, joint pain, and menstruation pain. I could not make it to work or school while the sickness lasted about two weeks; even after the sickness had passed, I still never really felt healthy; this condition was continuous for five straight years. Eight months ago, I did a Chinese Herbal Remedies consultation with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM, he give me his Chinese herbal teas and put me on a special diet.

Animals

My name is B. B. Here is my Chihuahua healthy testimony.
I’m writing to say how grateful I am to Dr. Chen for caring for my ten year old Chihuahua. My dog is Pedro, and he was diagnosed as having bladder stones and a very large mass. After several scans and various medications, my veterinarian said Pedro would need an operation. When he explained the operation, I was horrified. Pedro is only six pounds and I didn’t think he would survive. I turned instead, thankfully, to Dr. Chen. He was gracious enough to evaluate and send me the Chinese Herbal Formulas he felt my dog needed. Two months later, I returned to the vet and requested a scan. The huge mass in Pedro’s bladder had shrunk to almost nothing. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Chen for his help to Pedro. A year later Pedro is running and playing as well as ever. 03-03-2020.

I was consulting with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM in November of 2011; who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. Dr. C J gave his Longevity Teas Powder and put him on a special diet. After a week on the Dr. Chen’s herbal powder, P. M.’s neck was no longer oily; the wart on his head got smaller and no more bleeding. I could tell his body was not running hot. P. M. had some itching in 2011winter, but nothing like 2010 year before. We are into our 3rd winter with Dr. CJ’s herbal care, and P. M. is still with me. He will be 13 in July of this year, 2013. P.

My Name is L.N. Testimony for my dog AJ healthy condition. My 2 -1/2 year old Black Lab AJ (male) was diagnosed with Bone Cancer of the soft tissue. After a biopsy was done, this made the tumor on his head much bigger than it was before. The tumor started out golf ball size at its worst it was about the size of a softball.  AJ’s condition would not be operable; and only use medication to release pain. I had no other option until one of my friends referred me to Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J), DAOM who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine and utilizes Chinese Herbal Remedies. He was our only hope to keep AJ.  February 2012 we went to his office for a consultation with him.  Dr. C J given lots of his Chinese herbs to AJ and takes by mouth; also, put AJ on a special diet. In about a months’ time I saw the tumor getting smaller and smaller, AJ’s daily activity was more natural and happy; so we reduced the amount of pain meds that AJ was getting.  AJ did not seem to be in pain any more. After about 2 month’s he was off of the pain meds completely and the tumor decreased by 50%.  Every two month’s we would go back to see Dr. C J for continue consult; and every two months the tumor continue to decrease. AJ’s bone cancer size is reduced about 85 to 90% after 8 months of taking Dr. C J Chinese herbs. Currently, AJ still has a small tumor on the side of his head but it is not noticeable like it was. You will not be able to tell he has bone cancer as of today. He is known as our Miracle dog no one can believe it. Thank  you Dr. Zhijiang Chen ( C J ). You are truly a blessing. 10-29-2012

Professional Development

Testimony for my Chinese Herbal Remedies teacher Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) DAOM “There are good teachers and then there are great teachers. Dr. Zhijiang Chen is not only a knowledgeable Eastern Medicine practitioner, but he also has the gift of sharing his understanding with his students. I’ve had the privilege to study under his guidance since 2004 and truly feel that without his instruction I would have been lost. The philosophy and methodology of Chinese Medicine requires careful translation from Chinese into English. Much of this translation has been watered-down for westerners and thanks to  Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J) I was able to grasp the more detailed and precious lessons of this thousands of years old medicine. My own spiritual path and my clinical practice are enhanced through studying with Dr. Zhijiang Chen (C J). If you wish to find wisdom and practice with confidence, I would highly recommend both Dr. Zhijiang Chen’s books and seminars. They are invaluable for anyone studying Chinese Medicine. And I say all of this with utmost sincerity. ~Jennifer, MSOM 

My name is P. S. Testimony on studying with Dr. Chen.
I would like to share my study TCM experience with Dr. C J. I met Dr. C J after I had decided to start practicing again in 2015. I thought I should take a clinical “refresher” course and was fortunate to have him as the herbal supervisor for my clinic day. I felt an immediate connection with him as I had another Chinese Doctor when I went to China. It was like a family connection…distant but connected. I said, “you will be my shifu-teacher” and as always now, he said, “I will do my best” Dr. C J has a broad and very deep understanding of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. He has helped me understand so much. His analysis of case studies is knowledgeable and logical. His understanding of Chinese herbs is amazing, and furthermore, his applications of the Chinese herbal formulas and the results he achieves are impressive. His deep understanding of Acupuncture and how to apply the theories always lead me in the right direction for treating my clients. Authoring close to 30 books on TCM and taking me
further than I have been in my studies are mind opening and make me think deeper in my remedy strategies. I highly recommend licensed acupuncturists in the USA or other areas in the world to follow him to study TCM and check out his TCM books. Thank you very much Dr. Zhijiang Chen!!! P. S. M.S.O.M., L.Ac in Illinois USA. 04-29-2023.

Q5: How much does a consultation and acupuncture service cost? A5: Please call Dr. Chen at (630)885-6558 for details about price for services and products.

Q6: What is the procedure for acupuncture? A6: After assessing your condition and identifying the factors contributing to or causing it, I will recommend solutions such as acupuncture combined with herbal formulas, acupuncture with cupping, or acupuncture alone. The most common position for acupuncture is lying down, facing up. Frequently used acupuncture points are located on the forearms, hands, lower legs, and feet. Prior to inserting the acupuncture needles, the practitioner will clean the skin at the targeted points using alcohol prep pads. Needle insertion typically does not cause discomfort, and the practitioner will continue to search for the point’s energy Qi response in the shallow skin region, ensuring a comfortable sensation. Needles will remain in place for 15-20 minutes before removal.

Third, I will discuss and explain to you factors contributing to your condition. Fourth, I will recommend the most suitable combination of my herbal formulas as a solution. Fifth, you can decide how you would like to proceed.

Q10: What kind of herbal formulas do you provide? A10: CJ Herbal Remedies, Inc. utilizes E-Fong Herbal Formulas products. E-Fong holds a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification from Australia, and all products comply with FDA requirements. These herbal formulas come in a concentrated granular powder with a 1:5 ratio. The most common forms of herbal formulas include granular tea, capsules, pills, or tinctures. I will provide guidance on how to take the herbal formulas for individual cases.

Q11: How do I take the herbal products? A11: Typically, herbal formulas should be taken twice daily, after breakfast and lunch without being hungry. Some people prefer taking them after dinner. It is essential to consume herbal tea at a warm temperature or take capsules with warm water.

Q12: Do you offer a TCM diet and living guide consultation? A12: Yes, I do. The TCM diet and living guide consultation is separate from the herbal and acupuncture consultations and is charged separately, typically at half the cost of the herbal consultation. You can schedule both consultations at the same time or separately. Please inform me in advance so that I can allocate enough time to cover all the information you require.
