testimonials from her mentors, patients, and classmates! Testimonials from Her Mentors: “Sheng-wei has apprenticed extensively with me in clinical
Ayurvedic studies, and has proven herself to be an especially gifted
practitioner who is able to provide patients well-rounded care. I am glad to have her on the clinical
faculty of Ayurveda Healing Arts Institute.” --Ven. Losang Jinpa, D.Ayur, Ph.D Ayur, M.A.H. Co-founder of Medicine Buddha Healing
Center and Ayurveda Healing Arts Institute “She is highly
trained in Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine, with a deep, innate
understanding of the body […] a very sensitive, kind, [and] powerful
practitioner with her Buddhist spiritual knowledge and compassionate care for
others’ suffering.” --Mohan Singh, D.O., MRO Professor at Testimonials from Her Patients: “I found Sheng-wei at a difficult time in my life, shortly after I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. For over a year I received her wonderfully competent care, involving acupuncture and herbal formulas for tea. She nursed me back to health and now three years after my lumpectomy, I am healthy and happy. My oncologist thinks it is a rare occurrence that someone can recover from this terrible disease, without chemotherapy and radiation. I am convinced that a large part of my return to health had to do with Sheng-wei’s superior healing skills. Knowledgeable in her field, and precise in her application, she is a model for responsible and caring health practice.” Roswitha
Mueller, Professor Emeritus "Over the years, I have become increasingly disenfranchised with
conventional doctors and the expensive, untrustworthy procedures and drugs
they continue to push. It's been a long time since I've heard a positive
story about a hospital visit. Thinking there has to be a better way, I
decided to take a trip to Elephant Pharmacy. I was lucky enough to come on a
day when Sheng-wei was giving free consultations. Inside of five minutes I
knew she was exactly what I was looking for! I came in with chronic back
pain. After a month of acupuncture (4 treatments) and a simple herbal
regimen, no more pain! The natural, individualized approach of her three
chosen disciplines fill the void that conventional health care has left. And
her time-honored fields could not have chosen a better channel; Sheng-wei is
tirelessly dedicated, innately astute, and genuinely gracious. She's a real
find!" --Rob Jones,
professional Poker player, musician “I have consulted Sheng-Wei on a variety of conditions, including building immunity, getting better sleep, soothing muscle pains and improving feminine wellness. I've found her to be a uniquely gifted practitioner trained in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine and blessed with a thorough, intuitive understanding of the human body & mind. Her patient and kind-hearted nature make her a good listener and a compassionate herbal doctor. I would recommend her whole-heartedly!” --Patti
Law, attorney "I had severe acne and sinus issues. After seeing a few herbal specialists with no results to show for, I finally gave acupuncture a try. Since I had never had an acupuncture treatment before I was worried that it might be painful. To my surprise, it was not painful at all. Sometimes you hardly even feel the needle, and at the most, it is like an ant bite. After 2 treatments and a month of taking Ayurvedic medicine, my skin improved tremendously. My rate of skin break-outs went from very often to seldom times. I was very happy and extremely pleased with such speedy results. My sinus improved as well. My only regret is not having done it earlier.” --Laura Tan, Human
Resources Personnel "I had sought both medical and para-medical attention for over 10 years to help with food intolerances and chronic diarrhea; prescription medications, special diets and foods, homeopathic preparations, detoxification programs and even hypnosis resulted in either temporary relief or aggravated my skin condition. After a few acupuncture treatments with Sheng-wei, supplemented with a variety of selected Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs, my skin cleared up as did my GI distress. After a few months of therapy I am happy to report I can eat a wide range of food, eat in restaurants, go to a friend's house for dinner without the anxiety of an unpredictable episode of diarrhea." --Anonymous "Sheng-Wei Lan, in the short time that I have known her, has been a tremendously positive and motivational influence on me. I went to see her in the spring mainly to help me with my depression. She got me on a regimen of moderate eating, exercise, meditation, and yoga, which I actually did thanks to encouraging weekly visits to Sheng-Wei. The depression is now ten times better. I am very grateful to the powers that be for leading me to her. And any one who thinks that they need a really good, compassionate healer in their life should go see Sheng-Wei as soon as possible.” --Daniel
Howe, college student “Sheng-wei helped me lose 15 pounds and learn to eat delicious food
wisely. With her dual specialization in Acupuncture and Ayurveda she helped
me overcome diabetes and lower cholesterol. I have a new lease on life!” --Nancy Sumitani "I used to have painful Sinus headaches. When I had the Acupuncture treatment by Sheng-Wei, I could feel the pain going away within a few seconds of the treatment. I also have a digestive problem. With the herbs provided, I see a marked difference when I take the herbs with my meal compared to when I take my meals without the herbs. I would definitely recommend Sheng-Wei to anyone who is willing to give Ayurveda and Acupuncture a try." --Anonymous,
engineer in “Dr. Lan is very patient to ask all the details about how I feel the pain,
when it starts, what symptoms, what kind treatment I got in the past etc. She
explains to me about the diagnosis so I have clear idea about the problems I
have. After the acupuncture treatment,
I feel a big difference. My shoulders
and neck that have been very stiff probably for years, now becomes
softer. I am able to sleep well. My fingers and feet feel warmer now. They used to be ice-cold most of the
time. In general, kind of feel the
body get back to normal gradually. I
would recommend Dr. Lan to my friends since she knows how to help/treat a
patient. And base on the treatment she
gave to me, she is very knowledgeable, excellent and the treatment does help
a lot.” --Sara Tung, application engineer “When I was diagnosed with cancer, I had chemo and radiational
treatments. But I decided to focus
only on acupuncture and herbal therapy.
Through Sheng-wei’s treatments, my health is sustained, and I
also experience spiritually calming effects, especially after the harsh chemotherapy.
I strongly recommend you come to see Sheng-wei.” --Bowman
Unrein, gardener and Buddhist practitioner “I was seen by Dr. Lan when she was giving charity treatments for
co-worshippers at the Berkeley Buddhist monastery. I noticed a dramatic improvement for my
night urination. Thank you, Dr. Lan.” --Nancy Lee, housewife “Dr. Lan helped me on several occasions. Every time my problem was cured and I saw a great improvement in my health. I would recommend Dr. Lan to everybody. Thank you very much!” --Yuri Victorovich, engineer "Sheng-wei is a true master of healing a person. I approached her a month ago with severe vata and pitta imbalances (mental anxiety, stress, anger). She has taken me into her care - and I feel convinced that I am "on the right path" with Sheng-wei. She is systematically treating my imbalances through acupuncture and her expert understanding of Ayurvedic medicine, and I am experiencing subtle changes in my body and mind that confirm my faith that she actually sees the whole picture - she understands my situation, and knows how to help me. Never before have I met such a doctor. I whole-heartedly recommend Sheng-wei to anyone in need of help." --Ty Hitch, law school student
"I highly recommend Dr. Lan--she has been trained both in chinese traditional medicine and Ayurveda (Indian), and you will benefit from her comprehensive knowledges in oriental medicine. Right now, I am getting Ayurveda herb medicine and accupuncture treatments from her, and I'm very satisfied with the progress. I had been frustrated with the western medicine doctors--they may do a better job in surgial treatments, but often fail to recognize and cure the root of the problems, in many non-life-threatening conditions such as mine.
I'm glad that I found Shengwei--she's very sensitive to patients' needs, and I've had other great chinese doctors before, but never seen a doctor who treats patients so wholeheartedly."
--Boram Lee, international student at UC Berkeley
"I went to see Dr. Lan when I had been trying to get pregnant for 3 years of married life. I had tried all means to get pregnant after experienced western methods. A friend of mine had tried acupuncture for infertility with success with Dr. Lan so I thought I would give it a try.
It took me two months for acupuncture and Chinese herbs tae. At the end of the second month I was pregnant! I continued to drink herbal tea during my first trimester to prevent miscarraige and to help prevent nausea and vomiting.
I am now 36 weeks pregnant and am again going for Dr. Lan to help prepare my uterus and cervix for labor as I have heard that it helps you to have a shorter labor.
I would definitely recommend Chinese medicine to anyone having difficulty conceiving. Dr. Lan specializes in infertility and gives excellent health care. Thank you, Dr. Lan."
-- Irene Marie, private school teacher, SF Testimonial from the Webmaster: Why I Created this
Website for Dr. Sheng-wei Lan: “ During my search for the best alternative-medicine
treatment plan, I was overwhelmed not only by the sheer number of websites,
but by their wordy and confusing content.
Therefore, it is my hope that this website would present itself as a
straightforward, easy-to-comprehend, and most importantly, a reliable source
from a third person’s perspective. I first met Dr. Sheng-wei Lan when I was a
college student. I was tired of the
highly commercialized healthcare system in the Despite the numerous alternative-medicine practitioners
and their mind-boggling (sometimes misleading) credentials which I did not
understand at the time, I was instantly intrigued by Dr. Lan’s expertise in
Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and Indian Ayurvedic medicine. It was the perfect and extremely rare
combination of the oldest Asian healing arts. Dr. Lan impressed me with both her vast medical knowledge
and sincere care for her patients. As
the founder of the This is precisely the reason for my creating this website;
it is a tribute to her selfless dedication to her patients through her
nonprofit practice, not to mention her incredible skills as a doctor. ” --Najinja Chang Testimonials from Fellow DAOM-program Classmates: "Sheng-wei is a fellow doctoral student. She has brought joyous Tai Chi Fan dance,
healthy vegan dietary, and beautifully assisted our teachers with
Chinese-English translation. I am delighted to deepen my studies with her as
an ally." --Marilyn Mariposa Bernstein , L.Ac,
NCCAOM, Associate Professor at Five Branches Institute "I have been an Acupuncture physician for 10 years. It is rare to come across a gifted
Acupuncture physician with the interest of the patient as paramount:
Sheng-wei is that gifted physician." --Walter Campbell, AP "It is very exciting to have Sheng-wei as a peer in the Doctoral
of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine program. Sheng-wei is formerly a
dedicated student of mine and is now a dedicated healer. Her intelligence and great compassion make
her an asset to our profession." --John Nieters, L.Ac, DNBAD, host of
weekly radio show "The balancing point. "I first met Sheng-wei during our studies at the Five Branches
Institute doctoral program. She brings inspiration, joy and knowledge of the
Chinese language into our program.
(She helps the professor translate during class.) I am very happy to
have her expertise and energy in our classes.
During the next several years, I look forward to getting to know her
better." --Sara Kendall Gordon, L.Ac. "I am really touched by Sheng-wei's enthusiasm towards TCM
(Traditional Chinese Medicine) and her genuine passion and concern towards
her patients. She never stops
learning. These characteristics make her an Acupuncturist that you can trust." --Ching Chi L.Ac. |
