".....i recovered right away, by the 3rd day, i did finished all the pills you gave me, plus lots of fluids, i only did the steam inhalation for 2 days, felt much better, thank you so much for your time given to us"

"...With my aching body after running the Chicago Marathon, my friend referred me to see an acupuncturist, Dr. Enrique “Ricky” Saguil, for treatment.

I didn’t know anything about acupuncture but Dr. Saguil who is very knowledgeable took time to explain it to me. With Dr. Saguil’s gentle and comforting hands, the pain was gone after the treatment. Above all, acupuncture was very relaxing, and to wake up the next morning with a new you … is priceless."

In 2004 I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (type 3) on the left breast.  I underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in the same year. 

     In December 2008 after 5 years of remission, the cancer came back, this time invading my right breast.  Worse, it spread to my spine and pelvic bone!

     From then on my agony started.  I felt pain on my back.  Sometimes I couldn’t distinguish which my back hurts.  I had a hard time doing my daily activities.  I could hardly sleep.  Things got so bad I had to quit my job. 

     My oncologist gave me 8 sessions of chemotherapy and prescribed codeine to relieve my pain.  It helped but my pain still continued. 

     Dr Ricky Saguil offered to try acupuncture.  At first I was skeptical hesitant and afraid- because I knew I would be dealing with a lot of needles and needle punctures.  After Dr Saguil explained the procedure extensively, I was enlightended finally convinced to try it.

     After my first session, I immediately felt a calming effect.  It was amazing!  I felt relaxed and had a good night’s sleep that day.  After the follow up session, I felt rejuvenated and the pain was almost a thing of the past. 

     My sincere appreciation to Dr Saguil for his continuous care and medical assistance which contributed to my early recovery and helped my cope with my pain.

Hi there,
just wanted to thank you for the experience at last Sunday's class. I came in with all my usual Sunday night worries, annoyances etc. and left in a completely carefree, level plane, I can handle anything attitude! and that stayed with me for at least 24 hours which was very relaxing. I definitely felt it was really beneficial and it makes me want to incorporate the experience into my life on a more regular basis. Especially since I do still take meds. for depression and anxiety, I know this will definitely help to stabilize my mood. I know when I do yoga and look at it as 'my time', it's amazing how centered I feel afterwards - hopefully I can give myself permission to take more time for meditation also. Rob and I have been doing some together too which is a great bonding experience for us and since he lived in Japan for a year I know he's really interested in Eastern culture.

Your email brought tears to my eyes. I am deeply grateful-(regarding the healing intention Dr Saguil provided through an email response prior to major surgery)

My gosh, can't believe you took time out of your schedule to send me this email.  Thank you so much!  Just did the neti pot and took my D3, will check out Whole Foods on my way into the studio.  Gave in yesterday and took Tylenol Sinus to get through teaching my classes.  After 9hrs of sleep and certainly your healing intentions, I'm feeling much better.
