Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Asthma, Allergies, Bacterial Infection, Candida (Ann Marie, see #44 8-4-01, #45 8-18-01, #48 9-8-01, from Orange County)  Ann Marie was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 6 years ago and she suffered from a lung infection and went to 5 specialists, none of who could help her.  The infection cleared while she was on antibiotics, but returned as soon as she went off them.  All tests for diseases were negative, which baffled her doctors.  Her pulmonary specialist told her that she would have to take antibiotics for the rest of her life.  She then went to Scripps in La Jolla which did not help her.  Her symptoms included coughing, chest pain, sputum, tightening in her chest.  She also had flu-like symptoms and bodyaches, all of which she suffered continually for a year and a half.  The high doses of antibiotics also caused her to get yeast infections (candida - from bad to worse).  After 2-3 months of treatments from Dr. Tong, she was off all the antibiotics and her infection was cured.  Recently, this past April, she underwent knee surgery for knee pain.  After her surgery, she became physically ill and sick for 2 months.  Her knee pain returned and she was back on crutches and a knee brace.  Her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome returned.  After one treatment from Dr. Tong, she is off her crutches, off her knee brace, has more energy, can sleep better and is generally feeling emotionally better.
Stress, High Blood Pressure, Low Back Pain, Leg Pain, Cold Hands and Feet, Rash, Cholesterol > 300, Hypothyroid, Fatigue - (Ethel - see #91 9-21-02, from Moreno Valley) - This 71 year old retired woman suffered from low back pain for 35 years, pain in her legs since childhood, a skin rash since 1998, and was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol 7 years ago.   She went the conventional route where her doctors prescribed up to 7 different medications for her conditions all to no avail.  She heard Dr. Tong on the radio and decided to consult him in April, 2002.  After her first treatment she discontinued all her medication.  Her blood pressure went from 162/86 and has now stabilized at 144/80.  She has now been off her high blood pressure medication for almost 2 years.  She returned for a rash she has had since Jan 2004 (a flare up of her rash in 1998), which is dry and itchy.  The rash has also improved with Dr. Tong's treatments.

Colitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Gastritis, Low Back Pain - Marci (from Montebello, CA) Marci has been suffering from colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastritis since 1997.  She had bleeding with mucus in her bowels every day.  Her regular doctors prescribed sulfadine and when the medication did not work, they suggested that she double the dosage of the prescription.  She had diarrhea with bloody cramps in the morning and evening.  Her stomach would become bloated and painful to the point that made it difficult for her to work.  Her friend found Dr. Tong on the internet and Marci decided to consult him.  After her first treatment, she had no stomach bloating.  She has now had two treatments and her stomach pain is non-existent.  She is generally feeling much better.
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Candida, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Nancy (from Glendale, CA) - This 48 year old female has suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) on and off for the past 10 years.  In November of 2003, her diagnosis was confirmed.  Initially, she had no major symptoms for RA except when she ate certain foods.  The symptoms started to appear when she took antibiotics for 2 months.  She has excruciating pain in her toes, knees, hands, fingers, ankles, and feet.  All her doctors gave her anti-inflammatory medication, which made her worse.  She also noticed that when her candida flared up, her arthritis pain would get worse.  So her doctors gave her anti-fungals, such as Nystatin.  However, nothing worked.  She decided to see Dr. Tong.  She has now had 5 treatments from Dr. Tong, and her pain has decreased considerably.  She is no longer in excruciating pain and she can work without pain.

He also has problems breathing.  He has had neck pain for several months from a car accident (2002), where he was hit from behind at 90 miles per hour.  He suffered whiplash and his back pain was exacerbated.  He has heard Dr. Tong's radio show for 6 months now and finally decided to try his treatments.  He has had two treatments from Dr. Tong.  After the first treatment, Dr. Tong relieved much of his pain.  He now has no neck pain and he is breathing much deeper.  His back is now more flexible after the second treatment and he is pain free. After the second treatment, his improvement was more rapid and the pain from Dr. Tong's injections was much less.  His fear and anxiety is not completely gone, but he is now much more relaxed.  Art recently suffered from a traumatic experience or mistaken identity, where a police officer mistook him for a someone else and pinned him down, causing excruciating back pain, last month (Jan 2004).  Not only was he physically hurt but psychologically and emotionally traumatized.  He tried his chiropractor and massage treatments 7 times, but his pain was not relieved.  He decided to return to see Dr. Tong.  He has only had one treatment and he is feeling 100 % better and his energy has been restored.

She had 4 major gastrointestinal surgeries because she was born with a GI system that was backwards.  her appendix was on her left side and her descending colon was on the right.  The surgeries were a failure and made her even worse.   She was also in a severe auto accident 9/25/2002 and was in the hospital for 7 months flat on her back.  When she got out of the hospital, she could not walk.  She had to lay in the back seat of the car, she had to use a wheelchair, and she could not do anything around the house.  Since her first treatment with Dr. Tong 10/23/2003, her life has completely changed.  She was very depressed because her son passed away in the accident.  She can now eat - whereas before her stomach would digest only 20% of what she ate.  She can now drink water - whereas before the water would just sit in her stomach and she would vomit it out.  She was taking 25 different medications at one time in the past and now she is down to 1 medication.  She felt like a zombie on her medications and felt she wasn't getting any relief.  Now seeing Dr. Tong, she is on the Master's Miracle, and using the neutralizer and gel on her sore spots.  She also popped her shoulder out of the socket.  Dr. Tong has already given her partial movement back to her shoulder and she can even sleep on her side.  She is emotionally stronger and she can deal with her problems.  In addition she has not been using her wheelchair for one month now.  She is feeling like a whole new person and not nearly as depressed as she was before.
