Denver, CO
Coronary Artery Disease (Triple Vessel)

Colorado
Chronic Lower Back Pain (10+ years)
“After 10 years of popping painkillers, a 4-week TCM program at Guang’anmen gave me more relief than a decade of Western treatment. I’m off opioids for the first time in years.”
Oregon
Severe Psoriasis (15+ years)
“I’d tried every biologic on the market. The herbal medicine and medicinal baths at Guang’anmen cleared 80% of my plaques in 6 weeks. My dermatologist back home couldn’t believe it.”
Seattle, WA
Infertility (Blocked Fallopian Tubes + Low AMH)
“After two failed IVF cycles in Seattle at $18,000 each, the integrated IVF + TCM approach at PUMCH worked on the first try. The TCM herbs and acupuncture alongside the IVF protocol made all the difference.”
