Our journey with Parry-Romberg syndrome, an autoimmune condition, with Scleroderma, Linear Morphea, and Vitiligo, began with the first symptoms appearing in 2018 in my child at the age of 7. As a parent, witnessing my child’s health challenges was a heart-wrenching experience.
Finding effective treatment for our child became our top priority. At a young age of 9, on July 16, 2020, we discovered Agape Natural Health in Newport Beach, California, and embarked on a transformative medical journey under the care of Dr. Huang at Agape Natural Health. Their expertise in acupuncture, coupled with herbal supplements tailored to my child’s needs, offered hope during uncertainty.
Symptoms were first noted 2 years prior around age of 7, initially appearing as white color changes on the forehead or vitiligo. Despite undergoing treatment with another doctor without any improvement for vitiligo, over time, our child developed the left side of the face develop atrophy which was later diagnosed as scleroderma.
We were devastated and saddened by this horrible situation.
God led us to Dr. Huang at Agape Natural Health because we saw many testimonials and their clinic using natural health specializes in auto-immune and immune conditions with a lot of encouraging testimonials.
After our initial consultation with Dr. Huang, our family decided to start treatments at the age of 9 on July 16, 2020 with Agape Natural Health. Acupuncture every week and Herbs everyday were prescribed by Dr. Huang.
In September 2020, a follow-up with a medical doctor explained to us that Sophia’s condition is an autoimmune condition. There is damage caused by inflammation that leads to atrophy of tissue and fibrosis, disfiguring the face. It was highly advisable for Sophia to initiate standard care for localized scleroderma with weekly injectable medication, accompanied by another medication the day after. Additionally, there are protocols for active disease utilizing high-dose of medications for weeks. In another follow up in 2021, the medical doctor also was worried about risk of serious eye damage and serious neurological damage due to this autoimmune condition.
The doctor explained the benefits and risks involved in utilizing immunosuppressive medications to treat scleroderma. However, our family was reluctant to start the medications and would like to continue with Agape Natural Health for a few months first and then follow-up.
Over the next 3 years into September 2023, our child’s condition remained very stable and growing as a healthy, active, normal child with great quality of life. We continued to go to Agape Natural Health weekly for acupuncture and taking herbs while being monitored by the all the doctors for over 3 years without taking any of the immune suppressant medications.
After the MRI on September 24, 2023, the best news a parent could receive! The report said, “there was no significant subcutaneous edema or enhancement to suggest inflammation. There was also no evidence of skin thickening or abnormally enhancing masses within the face. Additionally, the contents of the orbits, paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and visualized supraglottic larynx were all normal in appearance. The visualized portions of the brain were also normal.”
THIS MRI REPORT INDICATES THAT SOPHIA’S CONDITION HAS GONE INTO REMISSION, WITH NO SIGN OF INFLAMMATION AFTER 3 YEARS OF TREATMENTS AT AGAPE NATURAL HEALTH.
WOW! PRAISE GOD FOR THE GREAT RESULTS.
Week after week, the compassionate team at Agape Natural Health provided unwavering support and guidance.
Today, as we reflect on our journey, we are filled with gratitude to God for the remarkable progress achieved. Acupuncture sessions every week and daily herb prescribed by Dr. Huang and Agape Natural Health have significantly improved my child’s quality of health and life from the dedicated care and expertise of Dr. Huang and their team.
Our experience at Agape Natural Health has been nothing short of life changing. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking natural medicine treatment and support for autoimmune conditions. With their compassionate approach and commitment to personalized care, they have truly made a difference in our lives.
We thank God and His leading us to Agape Natural Health.
Sincerely,
Grateful Parents
Below is the 12 years old patient’s own testimonial.
I will forever be grateful for Dr. Kevin and his staff. I am a 12-year-old girl, who had Scleroderma, thank God that I didn’t have the main symptoms. Scleroderma is a very rare disease. I was diagnosed around 9 years old. It affects my immune system and my face. My face is what I call a “light side-face” since my face is uneven.
It sadly looks way worse in pictures than in real life, which is the reason why I hate pictures. My parents had tried to find different solutions by going to different doctors for help, they all wanted to do things to me or just let it be. Some did try to help me but failed. My face has ½ of a side that is a bit “smaller” than my other side, it even affects my tongue (not drastic changes, not very noticeable).
When I first came to Agape Natural Health, I was maybe 9 going on to 10 years old. Dr. Kevin was very welcoming and good at explaining how it was going to go, what herbs, etc. When we entered a room for the first time to have my first session, I knew it was the right place, and my parents felt it too. All his staff members are very thoughtful, patient, and everything else you can imagine. Both Dr. Kevin and his staff have been there every step of the way. I have felt comfortable and cared about these people. My other doctors did not believe in these natural ways of healing or in God’s power and tried to steer us away from our decision, but we stood firmly on our decision. I have found out that after 3 years of coming here, it has finally stopped spreading. Agape Natural Health was on our path by God. He always knows what’s best. I will always be grateful for Agape Natural Health and the gift that God has given me. I couldn’t have done it without Him.
Forever Grateful,
Your Patient, S.T.
