I am a Board Certified General Surgeon with a past trauma career who assists in plastic surgeries and spinal cord stimulator / spinal pain pump surgeries. I am also an Acupuncturist who injects Botox as an extension of Acupuncture. Many of my Botox point selections are related Acupuncture points for migraine headaches and wrinkle prevention. 40% of my clinical time is spent at work is spent on Acupuncture, and 50% of my time is spent with cosmetic injections for Botox, Fillers, and Veins, and 10% of my time is spent assisting in surgeries. In a usual clinic day, it is common for me to use over 200 units of Botox, 3 syringes of dermal fillers, and see more than 6 acupuncture patients. Outside of my clinical time, I also spend a great deal of time as an administrator of Surgical Artistry - the combined medical office for myself and my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. We have been surgeons in Modesto since 2003. I am an author for MedicalSpaMD a resource for plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aesthetic physicians. I'm also a member of the marketing department of the Cooperative of American Physicians based in Los Angeles. My hobbies include piano, violin, marathon running, creating websites and social media. HISTORY:

Established in 2006. I (Dr. Calvin Lee) came to Modesto in 2003 with the McHenry Medical group as a general surgeon. My wife, Dr. Tammy Wu was with Sutter Gould. In 2006 I obtained acupuncture training, and became very interested in medical modalities involving needles. It was that same year where I decided to join my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu, Modesto Plastic Surgeon in creating Surgical Artistry. BACKGROUND:

I was born in New York City, and went to school in the suburbs. I graduated top of my class in high school. This led to my acceptances to all the universities I've applied to which included Harvard, Stanford, and Brown Universities. I chose Ivy League Brown University, and there, I met my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu - Plastic Surgeon. We were both students at the time. We continued together onto medical school at Brown University, and Dr. Tammy Wu graduated top of her Ivy League medical school class. Turning down a job offer in San Diego, I found a wonderful career in Trauma/General surgery in Modesto, California instead. Modesto has a scarcity of medical specialists and I felt like I was very needed, appreciated, and welcomed. This was a very fulfilling feeling for me as a medical provider. We decided to call Modesto and Central Valley California our home. We eventually established Surgical Artistry combining my work with Dr. Tammy Wu, Modesto Plastic Surgeon.

In case anyone else is interested. These are called cooling foods in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I think they have been helping me. I don’t have everything and this list isn’t comprehensive, just some foods that are handy. I forgot to add apple and pears on the list - those are green light foods for rash too.

4 cups of water, 1/2 cup of rinsed mung beans. Boiled the water first then turned it down to simmer for 12-15 minutes with the beans. The bioactives for rash reduction is in the skin of the mung beans so we’re not cooking the beans to death which is the normal way of cooking these. Then drink the green transparent tea when reaches lukewarm temperature. Hope this helps me. I got organic mung beans from Amazon and they delivered this to my door just now. I ordered it while I was in Santa Rosa. Fingers crossed that this helps!! .

You can eat the beans too. But I’m on refeeding day 4 so beans aren’t ideal yet for me. But the water (tea) would be perfect. And you can save the water /tea to drink the next day too.

Hopefully I can help myself not try to rip my skin off. This is my main hope. I got to get better. First I have to s...

Hopefully I can help myself not try to rip my skin off. This is my main hope.

How great is it to see my dad at work teaching at the school. Dr. Wu and I had a surprise sudden visit. I always wanted to weigh as little as my dad and we might even be at the same weight right now.

Can you spot Dr. Wu? She had an urgent thing come up at her school in west Sacramento so we had to leave the Santa Rosa fasting facility. So we’re in West Sacramento now. And the lecture is on Picasso Lips! I know a thing or two about lips! Not sure about making my lip results look like Picasso though. I’m back to enhancing lips on Monday.

My rash is getting a bit worse throughout but I’m still staying positive that it will get better by tonight!!?? Last night I was kind of giving up hope and was feeling a bit gloom and doom. Any movement of a cloth or anything running over it feels so much like little prickly ugh…

My rash is even worse today in many aspects especially in the torture it is giving me. The lack of sleep I’m somehow used to from my trauma training days. But the millions of pins and needles is horrible for me. I flared it up severely by going a bit crazy on the ginger beer soup last night. I should have known better. Ginger and beets from a western medicine standpoint can flare up histamine. In Chinese medicine they are considered very warm foods known to cause skin rashes. So basically I just poured gasoline onto my own fire. There is probably a quote that says something like we live in the hell of our own choices. I think my poor choice of ginger beets will subside by the end of tomorrow. I am a person plagued by rashes and allergies. I get a rash just from sun exposure even. Our skin has memory T cells which can reactive all the old rashes. So many of my old rashes just flared up with the keto rash which is the body tracing to get rid of the acetone from the fasting. The fasting for me was a ton easier than the refeeding. My experiences is somewhat unique here as I don’t see other people getting Menieres (virtual) flares like I did on Tuesday. But I do see others with the keto rash. But not as badly as mine. I will do my best to tolerate it. I know this whole fasting adventure is to strengthen my mental toughness. Sigh. No ginger or cinnamon or beets for me. Yeah and I went crazy on the cinnamon too. Sigh…. I am not Superman and even with my knowledge, it still fails me. I will be better soon.

I developed more of a killer rash which itches so much while refeeding. Chinese medicine says to treat the skin, first treat the blood; when the blood moves, the wind (itch) will disappear. SP10 (spleen 10) acts like a heat sink for your circulatory system. By stimulating it, it helps clear blood heat. This is the #1 point for rashes that are red, itchy or suddenly appear after a fast.

I will be doing acupressure on the point, I didn’t bring my acupuncture needles. Or I can see the acupuncturist here who charges more than I do - haha…

The rashes during refeeding are often caused by dampness that the spleen couldn’t press, which then overflowed into the skin. By doing acupuncture or acupressure on sp10 (spleen10), this helps the spleen transform and transport nutrients more efficiently. It healed with the bloating and nausea that I’m feeling.

This point is called Sea of Blood. It is an emergency point to use for rashes and refeeding digestion.

This point can be used to help treat insomnia, and one of the most important points for women’s gynecological health: hot flashes, menstruation regulation.

There are other points I’m using for myself at this point to help me get through this, but I figure I’d share SP10 first.

Have a great day!
