'The week before Christmas I found out that  I am pregnant!....Thankyou for all your help.'

Zoe

'I haven't been able to breathe through my nose for 5 years.  I tried the western medications for allergic rhinitis but they didn't work.  After taking reishi mushroom liquid for 2 weeks i've been able to breathe normally through my nose.  I didn't think i would ever be able to breathe through my nose ever again.  Now for the first time in years i can taste my food.  Thankyou.'

Sorina

'I found that the treatment Mrs. Outram offered me was very useful and it helped me very much at the time.  Mrs. Vivienne Outram was very patient and careful in diagnosing my health problem, taking detailed notes on all the health problems i had at the time and before, that could give her an indication on how the problem started and the course of action she should take.  Consequently she has taken into account health problems i had during my entire life, how they evolved, what treatments i had and if i considered they worked at the time.

I have also found Mrs. Vivienne Outram a very friendly and pleasant person, easy to talk to and very willing to help by giving me the best treatment possible.  She was very accommodating during the entire session of the treatment.  I also found that the medicines  helped me a lot in relieving the symptoms.

She is very knowledgeable and willing to explain how the treatment works, offering an insight into oriental medicine.

As a result i was very pleased with the treatment and the services that Mrs. Vivienne Outram offers to her patients.

I would definitely recommend Mrs. Vivienne Outram to other people having health problems and willing to undertake oriental treatment.'

'I have had a stressful time lately trying to do too many things at once and felt like a coiled spring whizzing round, not sleeping and feeling tense.  So i decided to give acupuncture a go and contacted Vivienne to see what she could do.

After taking a long history i lay on the couch slightly apprehensive.  Remember what the doctor says, a slight scratch and then you jump in the air when the injection is given!  Well i can say that it is not that painful at all.  I would liken it to a legwax or electrolysis.  The needles used are very fine and there is a tingling sensation rather than pain.

After thirty minutes the difference was amazing.  I was able to turn my head without my neck hurting.  I felt calmer and my knees did not ache.  In fact i felt like a new woman!'

Sheila

'The treatment gave me some relief and i have quite good days and any pain i do experience is not nearly as acute as it once was.  I believe my general health has improved.  I did not find the experience particularly uncomfortable.'

Mark

' I suffer from asthma and have done since childhood.  Before i had regular acupuncture and herbal tonics, i would get chest infections every time i had a cold or the flu.  For 2 years now i have had regular treatment and i haven't once had a chest infection.  My illness record at work has gone from poor to excellent.  I hardly ever need to take time off from work due to ill health.'

Case Study 1

Lower Back Pain

A 52 year-old woman had been suffering from chronic lower back pain that had worsened during the past 10 days.  Her lower back pain had started after she fell off a horse whilst riding 10 years previously.  She was sent to the hospital , and tests indicated that she did not have a bone fracture but there was some local soft tissue injury.  She received 20 sessions of massage, and was improved by this treatment.  But shortly after the treatment the pain came back.

Over the past 10 years, she often took painkillers if she had severe lower back pain.  On arrival at the practice, she was suffering from a stabbing pain in the lower back, mainly on the left side, and the pain sometimes referred down the left leg to the ankle.  During the previous 10 days, she woke up a few times every night and had to get up to walk around in order to alleviate the pain.  The pain was ususally worse in the early morning.  After 1 month of acupuncture treatment her lower back pain disappeared.
