About Andre Shih TCM & Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture don’t work like prescription drugs or health supplements. The fundamental idea of our medicine is to correct the imbalance and restore the basic functions of your body, such as sleeping, eating, drinking, defecation, urination, etc. These are the foundation of your health. When your body is able to function at a healthy level, your digestive system is able to produce the enzymes that transform the food you eat into nutrients and send it to where it’s needed, your endocrine system is able to produce the right amount of hormones that your body needs, your immune system is able to distinguish between your own cells from foreign cells, your cardiovascular system is able to function within a normal pressure, your nervous system is able to transmit the electric signals normally, and your body is able to metabolize normally – replacing dying cells with new cells. This is the reason that we are able to help many people with various conditions.

Practitioner Bio
My major at the University of British Columbia was in mechanical engineering. I then worked in manufacturing as an engineer for 11 years after graduation. Throughout the years I’ve always known that I would not be an engineer for the rest of my life; somehow I knew there was something else more fulfilling for me to do with my life. Years ago, by chance, I had my first encounter with acupuncture and TCM; right away, like a lightening bolt, I knew this is what I had been searching for. Seeing people getting better from their illnesses gives me a great sense of joy. The problem solving skills and critical thinking I learned as an engineer has not gone to waste. Rather, these skills aid me in diagnosing and selecting a proper treatment plan for my patients with a logical approach. One thing that really helped me excel at Chinese medicine is the ability to read and write Chinese because 95% of the TCM literature was not translated into another language. It’s a great advantage that I have as a TCM practitioner. Besides spending time on reading TCM books, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 4 cats at home while listening to Jazz. Playing golf is my favourite way of enjoying the outdoor.
