Auto Accident, Severe Back Pain, Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke), Narcotic addiction - David (see #141 11-22-03, from Costa Mesa, CA)  This Landscaper was involved in an auto accident in December of 2001.  Two months later, he suffered a stroke, which delayed the recommended laminectomy for his back where his discs were fused.  Post-op, David was still in tremendous pain, and his pain specialists had him on up to 13 different medications at one time, including Dilaudid - a synthetic analog of heroine.  He tried to ween himself off the medications to the point where he became comatose on one occasion.  One day he drove my Dr. Tong's building, when he was almost out of medication and decided to try his treatment.  He has had one treatment now, and along with the Chinese herbs, he is feeling much better!  In addition, he has no withdrawal symptoms and the Miracle Gel is helping to relieve the soreness in his legs.
Constipation, Abdominal Pain, Depression - Jenny (see #75 4-13-02 # 94 10-12-02, #115 4-26-03, #124 6-28-03),  15 year old daughter of Kandra (see Show #74 4-6-02))  who suffered from severe constipation, abdominal pain, and depression due to stress in her life.  She switched from public to private school and her parents were going through a divorce, which caused her symptoms to worsen.  She was so depressed that she wanted to kill herself.  She had no motivation to do anything, no energy, and could not even get off the couch.  She consulted psychiatric therapy which did not help at all.  She was also suffering from insomnia for which she took tranquilizers.  Her mother took her to CHOC and consulted a gastroenterologist who declared that it was her fault she was sick because of her stress.  He gave her a laxative for her constipation, which gave her diarrhea for a day, but did not resolve her constipation.  She went to one psychiatric consult, and was told that she needed to take anti-depressants, which her parents refused.  Nothing was helping her and she was getting more and more depressed.  Fear of needles kept her from seeing Dr. Tong. However, her mother convinced her to try his treatments.  She has been seeing Dr. Tong for 2 months now and she has seen much improvement.  Her whole outlook in life has improved and she is no longer depressed. 
Sinusitis, Stress, Generalized Pain, Lack of Focus - Odine (from Costa Mesa, CA) This law student was suffering from severe stress after starting law school in Jan 2003.  Exercising did not help her stress and medications did not help her sinus problems.  She decided to consult Dr. Tong on the recommendation of her father Raymond (see #138 11-1-03).  After one treatment she was extremely sore and went home to take a nap.  When she woke up, she felt like a completely new person.  Her sinuses cleared, she had no pain, she could focus, her skin was clearer, and her hair was shinier.  She was also emotionally more balanced.

Chronic Shoulder Pain, Chronic Renal Failure, Diabetes, Hepatits C - Gary (see #138 11-1-03, from Sherman Oaks) For ten years, Gary went to many doctors, including holistic, western, and acupuncturists.  He spent a lot of time and money trying to heal himself, but would only get worse.  His doctors recommended dialysis, which he refused.  He has had 12 surgeries in the past for pain in his shoulder and chronic renal failure for 10 years.  He was also diagnosed with Hepatits C, Diabetes Mellitus, and high creatinine.  Six treatments with Dr. Tong have greatly improved his condition.
Headache, Nocturia, Hearing Problems - Claude (see #136 8-9-03, from Redlands, CA) Claude has suffered from severe headaches for the past 8 months.  He tried Tylenol with Codeine and Aspirin to no avail.  He also had to get up to go to the bathroom 4-5 times per night.  After treatments with Dr. Tong, his headaches are virtually gone, he gets up maybe once to urinate at night, and he does not need his hearing aid to watch TV anymore.
Chronic Rib Pain - Bridgette (from Rancho Cucamonga) This registered nurse went to many physicians for a chronic pain in her rib cage for 7 years.  Her attacks would be so severe that she would almost pass out from the pain.  She was diagnosed with costochondritis, gastric reflux but they could not treat the pain.  She became very anxious and depressed.  Anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants did nothing to relieve her pain.  After her 3rd treatment with Dr. Tong, she noticed a significant decrease of pain in her ribs, lower back, and right hip.
Shoulder Pain - Matthew (Bridgette's husband) - Dr. Tong's treatment alleviated some of Matthew's shoulder pain.

Chronic Shoulder Pain, Chronic Renal Failure - Gary (from Sherman Oaks) This 68 year old retired man had 12 operations as well as chronic renal failure.  After 6 treatments with Dr. Tong, his shoulder pain is nonexistent.
