*I wanted to tell you how I am now in Acupuncture school and doing really well (mostly A's) but that is ONLY because of the wonderful background I got at your school. Our teachers are all Chinese and it's hard to understand them most times. They usually go word from word from the book and we read and teach ourselves about herbs. This has really made me appreciate you and all the teachers at your school who gave us so much extra information that you just wouldn't get anywhere else. I had no idea how great this learning experience was until I had to put up with this type of training. I can only say that Chinese Medicine is what I love and I am forever grateful for you introducing it to me. I just wish I could study in the same way here as I did at your school.

*I wanted take this time to thank you for the Chinese Herbology Program. You have been such a great teacher to me and I have learned more about the eight principle theory from you than from my classes in Chicago (Acupuncture School). People in my class who have studied in China or studied the Five Element theory are now learning the eight Principle theory for the first time and really struggling. All our teachers are NCCAOM acupuncturists and really emphasize this way of learning. I hope you realize what a great teacher you are and I am not just saying that! I miss everyone and plan on taking more classes at the Institute once I have graduated.

Wow, I can't  believe a year has gone by already. I want to thank you for helping "awaken" a new understanding of TCM: HERBS~   From a technical perspective, you are an excellent teacher and communicate the essential information needed to understand a very complex subject.   Even more important, spiritually you are a gifted healer whose enthusiasm is inspiring. I look forward to seeing you again in future classes.

The herbal combinations you prescribed have done wonders for me, literally.
I took the herbs you gave me on Monday, and the very next day I noticed an increase in energy! In just one day! Lack of energy is something I have struggled with for a while because of my hypothyroidism. I seems hard to believe but I have been using the herbs for almost 2 months now and every day gets better and better as I have the energy to work out daily now.
                The PROOF is in how I feel, and I feel better than I have in years. I'm so glad my friend introduced me to you...Traditional Chinese Medicine works!
Thank You so much!!!

I wish you continued success at your new facility which is wonderful (Love the parking!) As I look back over these 7 years I realize that without you my life wouldn't be the same. You have helped me through my health and emotional challenges. Health wise you are one of the reasons I continue to do so well. Thank you for bringing Chinese Medicine to my life.

My hot flashes ruled my life and my response to my family and friends as well. Thank you so much for helping me get them under control since I am not able to use Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). I do not know how I could live my life without your help and these herb formulas. They work so well!  They have given me the power to control my life and added a gracefulness to my aging body! Thank you again,

* The Chinese herbs that you have prescribed has helped me with my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) so much. I cannot tell you how many M.D.s I have gone to in hopes of helping me feel better. The stomach distress has lessened and the energy level has steadily increased. I am truly amazed at how well these herbs work for my body. Thank you.

* I needed to write and say I am so thrilled with the way I feel on the herb regimen. There is one real big major improvement - I just had my period and I had absolutely NO pain - unbelievable!!  That alone is worth taking the herbs though I do notice more energy as well- I've never, since my teenage years, had a cycle without pain - I've always had to take Ibuprofen to counteract the pain - prior to the over-the-counter Advil, etc., I used to have a prescription of 800 mg per tablet of Ibuprofen, and usually had to take 2 tablets to get rid of the pain - it was that bad.  Thank you so much for your help.

PET THERAPY

My terrier, Tux, is not the same dog!!!!  The Calm & Easy is working out so well with him - he's only 35 lbs., so even though he's hyper, I started out with only 1 dosage a day (1/3 tsp.) and it's unbelievable!  He's so much calmer and at peace (which helps our other dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who is 80 lbs, who is normally very calm, but gets hyper when our terrier acts up).  We had a friend who knows our terrier since a little puppy, and this friend couldn't believe the change in our terrier's temperment - it's that noticeable.  The one dosage a day seems to be working fine, so I'm leaving it at that for now. Can't thank you enough for it!

Georgia had been plagued with crystals for years.  Sometimes serious enough to have surgery to remove them.  It broke my hears!  I learned of Crystal Clear from a Vet who said it would help and eventually found you.  Thank God I did.  I now use Crystal Clear every other day to make sure she will never have another operation.  She is doing just wonderful and it has been over 2 years.

Paddy is a highland terrier who would not be alive today (he is now 12 years old) had we not found Chinese Medicine to help him. Before using the herbs, Paddy was allergic to EVERYTHING and he would pull his hair out and bite his paws until they bled. Now he has a beautiful coat and no allergies. It is amazing that these herbs can work so
 fast and even though we have used these herbs for over 6 years, there has been no side effects or problems. We can't
 thank you enough for all your help.

The Healing Oasis Veterinary Hospital in Sturtevant Wisconsin has been using the Vet Therapy products since we opened our practice in 1993. We have found exceptional results with Crystal Free and it is VERY successful in working with urinary crystals of all and any types. We use it to drain off fluids in swollen extremities as well, with good success. As always with Chinese medicine, one must have a proper Chinese diagnosis for the herbs or formulas of choice to work effectively. We have seen no contraindications in this product and have used it in many different species (including exotics such as iguanas and birds) and with all different age groups.   We use it for prevention in animals that are prone to making crystals (i.e. cats, Dalmatians)  however we must say this formula alone does not replace diet therapy. If an animal has been diagnosed with any urinary crystals in the past, we try to figure out any seasonal times this happens and then use Crystal Free for one month each year before 
 we see the problem again. When used with the correct Chinese diagnosis, we can honestly say this has been the most helpful formula in our veterinary practice. 
              We have educated many veterinarians and technicians about this product  and have sold to hospitals all over the country with NO COMPLAINTS.  
 Every doctor that has prescribed this formula has been truly surprised 
 with the results.  Any further questions or comments, please feel free to call our school 262-878-9549.
