WHAT ASANTE CLIENTS SAY
V Griffith
Patient
(My) condition (sinus problems) improved with acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Staff are professional and breathing has greatly improved.
V Griffith.
V Stewart
Patient
Side effects of my over heating (and hormonal imbalance) were anger which has reduced greatly.
I also had a problem sleeping which Dr Ke has helped with enormously.
Overall my experience has been very positive. Plus I get 1/2 hr sleep once the needles are in!
V Stewart.
T Millais
Patient
I initially saw Dr Ke or help with seizures I was having as a reaction to Western medication I was on at the time. Dr Ke managed to stop the seizures in 2 days!
I had been having them for 3 months and no Western doctor could stop them. After this amazing success, I continued treatment for my acne and various other problems.
I have never seen such miraculous results with any other treatment and have recommended Dr Ke to many friends + family. T Millais.
N Weisters
Patient
When I first met Dr Ke I was suffering from a major bile leak into a drain due to complications from the surgery I had had. Dr Ke said that I would begin to feel better after two weeks of taking the herbs, I was highly sceptical.
But within two weeks, the leak was nearly dried up and within a month the drain was removed. I stick to a strict diet and take my herbs daily, and feel better and better all the time.
I have now more energy than I’ve had for years. Dr Ke I have always found to be totally professional and straight talking, but also optimistic – just what I need.

M Diamantis
Student - Infertility Acupuncture Course
I liked the course a lot. The tutors were very kind and very professional. The lectures were very well prepared and they covered every aspect of the subject.
The tutors answered every question we had in a very simple but comprehensive way.
M Diamantis.
M Stakol
Pain Management
Dr Ke is a genius! His understanding and immediate recognition of where and how to identify, (and) treat the problem is fantastic.
Note: By the way, 2 neurosurgeons wanted to operate to cure my problem – the shoulder.
Dr Ke!
M Stakol
M Elliott
M.E. / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Dr Ke emanates good health and wellbeing and inspires confidence in my ability to get well. Psychologically I always felt better for seeing him and the remedies he prescribed gently and slowly put me on the road to recovery.
He was unfailingly kind, supportive and non-judgemental and I shall always be grateful to him for his skill and dedication. I have recommended him to others.
Whenever I need antibiotics, as I did fairly fairly frequently at the onset of my treatment, they cleared the problem with non of the side effects of traditional Western medicine, which was wonderful.
I continue to go from strength to strength. M Elliott.
M Knutsdottir
Student - Infertility Acupuncture Course
Very educating and professional seminar. Good environment, relaxed and welcoming.
The teachers have a good and deep knowledge of the subject. Thank you very much.
I am very pleased. M Knutsdottir.
K Stevens
Patient
I have been seeing Dr Ke for many years. He has cured myself and my children of various illnesses.
Recently, my son became very ill after having his tonsils out; and Dr Deng at the Asante practice gave him herbs that cured the throat infection (post operation) which had caused bleeding, and days of having a temperature.
Acupuncture is also fantastic! K Stevens.
J Joly
Pain Management
My problems were hip and painful ankle. Not sure of reasons for some.
The in-depth care received was much appreciated, and should I need treatment again, would be good to avail myself of further treatment. J Joly.
G Yagtug
Patient
I first came to see Dr Ke because of an ovarian cyst, which required surgery I did not want to have. After three months of treatment, the cyst was gone.
I have continued treatment with Dr ke for small ailments over the past 20 years. Chinese medicine is highly effective, particularly as an antedote to our fast paced living.
The healing is furthered by the compassion, kindness, and knowledge of Dr Ke, a physician and friend for life! G Yagtug.
D Fordham
Patient
Dr Ke has improved my liver function after conventional doctor said that there was nothing they could do but monitor my condition [Primary Biliary Cirrhosis]. There is no cure.
Chinese medicine has also helped me cope psychologically with my illness.
D Fordham.
C Faultey
M.E. / Post-Viral Chronic Fatigue
A very understanding, helpful, listening to my myriad of symptoms taken seriously (unlike mainstream medical profession). Medicines given initially made me feel worse for 1-2 weeks, then energy, muscle fatigue, aches, and other symptoms improved.
I have been seeing Dr ke and taking (same basic) medicines for several years with steady improvement such that my daily life is restored to being able to work – I retrained as a counsellor which is less physically demanding than nursing (previous career) – and able to exercise at the gym 3x a week.
I still have to observe careful diet (minimal dairry, sugar + no wheat) – (all induce fatigue and gut problems). I am very grateful to Dr Ke; I beleive without his help I’d not have this new lease of life and improved energy. Thank you.
C Faultey.
A Tse
Student - Infertility Acupuncture Course
It is a perfect training course (Treating Infertility with TCM) [Empahsis Added]. Through different doctor/teachers, management of TCM & acupuncture points all information of details.
Learning looks like it it is easy, but remember it is not easy; A Tse (2015) suggests that practicing the cooking of herbs and acupuncture on oneself makes it easier to remember.
Hope I will service patients in future, to help our clients and introduce Asante Academy to promote TCM.
A Belbin
Patient
I suffered from severe diarrhoea for about six weeks and due to this was very weak and dehydrated. I went to the Asante clinic and was first seen by Dr Ke and later by Dr Gu.
After about two days my diarrhoea improved and in one week had cleared up. My weight, that I had lost during my illness, started to improve and my strength has started to return and I am starting to feel like my old self again. Thanks to Dr Ke and Dr Gu.
S Rassudin
Acute Back Pain
I came to the clinic unable to walk or sit with terrible back ache. After several treatments at Asante I have no pain at all and am able to function as normal. All the doctors were highly professional and curtious to my needs. Thank you so much for all your help.
S John
Fybromyalgia Pain Management
I have fybromyalgia + severe joint hyper mobility. I am always in constant pain. I have tried everything to alleviate the pain. The acupuncture with Gulshan is the only treatment that has not just alleviated the pain, but made it disappear. The 12 magic points are a miracle. After 1 treatment I was able to move freelyfor a week. I have had treatment for 1 year. I do not get pain anymore to the level as before. The dizziness, fatigue + excruciating muscle pain has gone. I am able to concentrate better. When I walk I feel free. Before I would feel every movement + every step was very hard work. I highly recommend acupuncture, the 12 magic points and the blood letting for fybromyalgia + hyper mobility.
J Ridge
TMJ Pain
I had TMJ problem which was a real pain with a great difficulty in eating daily meals. After a few attpemts to see GP’s wit hno real help, I decided to see a doctor in Asante thanks to my friend’s recommendation. Dr Song reassured me after the first assessment with the full explanation regarding continuos treatment. Acupuncture treatment, which scared me at first, was provided in a very relaxing atmosphere and Dr Song was very understanding and kind.
The treatment was effective with gradual recovery of the damaged muscles around my jaw. Now I am able to eat and open my mouth well, and I recommend this academy to anyone who has the similar problems as mine.
A Arslan
Pain Management
I had 10 sessions at Asante with Dr Song. Firstly I had so much pain, very low mood. Dr Song is very good and helpful, he knows where the pain comes from and has really helped me. The pain doesn’t go completely but it is better than before. All staff and Dr Song very kind and helpful. Thanks for Dr Song and all.
A Touroutoutoudis
Pain Management
I have received several treatments from Mr Song and am very impressed by his professional yet compassionate handling of my situation. I feel the positive results from the treatment from the 1st session, and continue to do so. From the session I had at the Whittington, I felt that Mr Song could help me so I started further treatment at Asante. The setup at Asante instilled further confidence in me as it is so well run and peaceful. Mr Song is very skilled and I will continue to receive weekly treatments as I feel so much less pain and better quality of life already.
A Shanley
Pain Management
Very pleasant people here and very relaxing. My pain has gone from my legs, and my energy is back. This is my first time to have Chinese medicine and I can only say it works well for me. I shall recommend this approach to friends and family. Thank you.
M Monreal
Fertility Treatment
I am 44 years old amd I tried to get pregnant for one year. I got it once, but sadly I had a miscarriage. After this, I decided to start treatment with Dr Ke due to his good reputation and my dream came true! My baby boy was born healthy and I am over the moon! Thank you all of Asante’s staff!
T Brinkworth
Patient
After being referred by the Royal Free hospital for a mystery pain (3 years), I was a total wreck – Not sleeping, food was difficult, and mood swings became impossible. After the first treatment I was a totally different person – it was like magic! I have been helped with my hayfever and balanced back into being human again. I shall be back!!
Jay Tailor
NHS Pain Clinic Patient
I have been suffering from severe neck pain since 2010. I have attended a number of physio appointments and scans, but the pain continued. When I visited the Pain Clinic and they referred me for acupuncture. The best referral I have ever been given! The regular appointments have made such a huge impact on my life. The neck pains slowly began to disappear over time – all thanks to acupuncture. I would definitely recommend. Thank you for my treatment.
D Moriarty
NHS Pain Clinic Patient
Acupuncture for Pain Management.
I received acupuncture once a week for four weeks. I have found this treatment very helpful for pain management, and I haven’t had to take as many painkillers during this time. It has also helped improve my sleeping. The practitioners are very caring and professional. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who suffers with long-term pain problems.
