Anxiety, Depression
Friday, April 18 2008

I started seeing Ruth 5 weeks ago for anxiety +depression +physical related stress pains, neck, shoulder, and headaches. After seeing numerous therapists and psychiatrists and spending years and years on different types of anti depressants, all I can say is God brought me to Ruth Knill.

I truelly believe she has started me on the "first day of the rest of my life". Physically I no longer suffer at all with headaches nor tightness on my back, it's amazing how relaxing her treatments are, how soothing and emotionally healing - life saving!!

I also started chinese herbs with the guidance and support of my psychiatrist. I am thrilled to say I am off all western antidepressants and have never felt better. My mind is no longer in a fog, I have a much better attitude on my future, my thoughts and emotions are focusing on a more positive outlook, and I couldn't be where I am without Ruth. She listens, has true compassion for her patients and treats each individual uniquely. I know I am on the path of healing- physically, emotionally and spiritually. I have a long road in front of me , but this time I know I will make it. With the love and guidance of foremost God + Dr Ruth acupuncture and herbs- I will be alright! If there is hope for me - believs me there is hope for you!

Love you Ruth

Ruth,

Just wanted to state for the record your treatments worked. My wife and I had been trying to have another baby for 20 months when I started working with you. Six months later were on our way, and it was all natural. Thanks, Jim

Sinus Conjestion, Allergies
Friday, May 21 2004

Dear Ruth,

I am so happy to not be suffering from allergies this year. Every spring, for the past 40 years, I've been wheezing and itching and sick to the point of not going outside and dreading the springtime. Thank you for all your help and healing. I don't know if it is the nasal irrigation, the herbs, or the acupuncture that has pushed me out of the allergy world, but whatever it is I owe my clear breathing to you.

Many kisses and hugs to you,

Christine, Cambridge Massachusetts


Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)
Saturday, October 22 2005

Ruth,

As you know, my husband has Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) and Acute Diseminated Encephaphalomyelytis (ADE). All Doctors have stated he would never get better. After almost 4 years, I thought of trying acupuncture. I researched to find the right person for my husband. You came highly recommended from a neighbor and the only one that would take someone in a wheel chair.

The change within only 6 weeks of acupuncture and 2 weeks of chinese herbs is unreal. Doctors now call it a miracle. Within this short time, he talsk better, takes part in conversation, short term memory has returned, moves constantly, moves his wheeel chair and the list goes on and on. Most important, his atitude has changed and now he wants to walk.

You have made all of our prayers and dreams come true/possible. The future looks much better for my husband since we were blessed by your treatment. Most of all by your warmness, smile and laughter. With you miracles do happen,

Thank you,

Anne, East Boston, Massachusettsst


Infertility
Monday, April 24, 2006

I wholeheartedly recommend Ruth and am grateful to have found her. I have been seeing Ruth for TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) in conjunction with IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) treatment. and have been pleased with Ruth's knowledge of TCM, her wisdom and caring, supportive nature. I saw the positive effects of treatment initially when I had a menstrual period without cramps for the first time. Ruth has helped me to achieve pregancy, and has been available to me whenever I've had a question or concern. Ruth is a gem of a practitioner!

Dear Ruth,

I was suffering from migraines almost every day for 6 months. It was so bad it disturbed my daily function, and caused me depression. When I started receiving acupuncture from you I felt some relief right away. After 6 treatments I am migraine free!

Repetetive Stress Syndrome

I originally had surgery a few years ago to ease the pain of repetetive stress syndrome on my wrist. After a recurrence, I decided to try Acupuncture. Much to my delight within 6 weeks I have an amazing reduction of all discomfort and highly recommend that acupuncture be used to aleviate pain. Thanks Dr. Ruth,

Hair Loss
Thurssday, October 28 2004

I had some hairloss for unknown reason. I went to my primary care doctor and a dermatologist and neither one could help. I decided to try acupuncture and visited Ruth Knill. She gave me a thorough assessment and begun a treatment of acupuncture and herbal remedies. After about 2 months I noticed a slight regrowth and a significant decrease in loss. I would defenitely recommend Ruth!

Anxiety
September 29, 2004

I started seeing Ruth in September 2003 for stress and anxiety brought on by the illness of a sibling and her subsequent death.
With a combination of acupuncture and appropriate herbs I was able to overcome and heal from a very difficult and sorrowful time in my life. Ruth is extremely knowledgeable in Eastern medicine and her precise placement of needles results in immediate relief of symptoms. She is compassionate and caring and does what is necessary to help.

I highly recommend consulting with Ruth. I know that she will be able to help.

Low Back Pain
October 16, 2004

I lifted a box incorrectly straining my left sacroiliac jiont. Careful yoga helped but the joint remained inflamed. After the first acupuncture treatment with Ruth I was pain free for the first time in weeks. The pain came back the next day but less. After the fifth treatment the injury is 99% healed! Ruth is wonderful and funny too.

Tinnitus
October 7, 2004

I came to Ruth after straining my neck and back with some heavy lifting. I also had an ongoing problem with a very annoying case of tinnitus. Ruth treated my back and neck with acupuncture and prescribed an herbal mixture for the ear. After two sessions my back felt great. The herbs are working to lessen the tinnitus as well. They taste awful but are effective.

Fragmented Disk

I came in with a fragmented disk and an inability to walk because of drop foot. One treatment had me walking again and after 3 treatments, the drop foot was almost gone. Acupuncture helped me to avoid surgery and continue with my exercise. Thank you Ruth!

Arthritis
May 7, 2005

Ah, relief from pain and stiffness. After several treatments by Ruth, I am experiencing relief from the arthritis in my hands and neck. Last year after about 8 treatments by another acupuncturist experienced little to no improvement. As a result, I planned to undergo physical therapy for my arthritis as recommended by a rheumatologist. Before I looked into scheduling, I decided to give acupuncture another try. I scheduled an appointment with Ruth at New England Medical Massage Therapy. I'm happy to say I'm pleased that I chose to give acupuncture another try: Ruth is a great acupuncturist.
