I have known Dr.
Lee for over two years and I am in a very fortunate position to ask this acupuncturist extraordinaire questions about children's health.
His success rate with numerous disorders and diseases is quite astounding and he is graciously allowing me to do one-on-one interviews with him.
This is my first interview with Dr.
Lee: Question 1: What is the most important thing parents can do for their children? According to Dr.
Lee parents need to make sure their children eat healthy.
This means eating natural foods and avoiding processed foods.
The American diet is full of processed foods.
He also recommends that children be given as little sugar as possible, preferably, none.
Processed foods and sugar weaken the immune system.
Question 2: What are the most common illnesses or disorders that you treat in children? Dr.
Lee was quick to respond with digestive problems, poor eating habits/lack of appetite, and stomach pain.
These are the three most common problems.
Next, would be asthma, chronic bronchitis, a weak immune system, Autism, and Tourette Syndrome.
Question 3: Do you treat babies? Dr.
Lee's reply was yes.
But, he does not use needles on children under 3-years-old.
He uses a machine similar to a TENS machine.
This is a machine with wires; at the end of the wires are pads.
He attaches the pads to various spots on the baby or toddler's body.
The machine then sends very small amounts of electrical impulses to the pads.
Till next time...
