Los Angeles, Calif. – April 1, 2010 – Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Physician Henry Jun Wah Lee announced today a long-term partnership with McDonalds to provide quality acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition and medical Qigong services in McDonalds restaurants across the country.
“America continues to get fat but our love for fast food isn’t going to end overnight. As natural medicine professionals, we need to take a pragmatic approach to this problem by going to where the greatest need is. In this case, we’re going tackle the health problems of eating fast food by going straight to McDonalds and adding the healing power of Chinese Medicine.“
Lee continues: “We are happy that through our partnership with McDonalds we will reach millions of mainstream Americans who have never before tried acupuncture, herbs or Qigong exercises. It will do wonders for their diet, improve their mood, and treat chronic problems like fibromyalgia, arthritis or back pain naturally and much more effectively than Western medicine”
This revolutionary partnership with McDonalds adds additional items to the fast food giant’s menu. For example, a new Diet Coke sweetened with the Chinese Herb Luo Han Guo will benefit obese individuals and those with diabetes. Customers can substitute bok choy in place of iceberg lettuce for their burgers. Bok Choy aids digestion and adds vitamin-A, vitamin-C, beta-carotene, calcium and dietary fiber.
There will also be seasonal items such as herbal chicken soup in the winter and mung bean salad in the summer to help attune Americans to the need for seasonal dietary changes.
A new Acu-size option will be available for the restaurant’s classic Value Meals. For just $40 dollars more, customers get an acupuncture treatment in addition to their double cheeseburger, fries and medium soft drink.
Plans are already in the works to redesign McDonalds playgrounds for the practice of Qigong – whole-body exercises that benefit the body, mind and emotions. Lee emphasized regular exercises like Qigong continues to be one of the most important steps any American can take to achieve and maintain good health.
“By reclaiming these urban spaces for public use, people in the community will have a place to come together, heal, feel good, and support each other.”
