Kenny (caller from Irvine, CA) - Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Migraines, TMJ, Neck and Shoulder Pain, Endometriosis - Maureen (Kenny's, above, husband) from Irvine, CA suffered from severe headaches for the last 12 years.  She was initially diagnosed with sinus headaches and prescribed medication which did not help.  In the last two years, she suffered from 2-3 migraines daily.  She had to put and ice pack on her head when she woke up and before going to bed.  Her doctors prescribed Imitrex, which would only work if she started taking them at the onset of the headache.  During her first treatment with Dr. Tong, her migraine was gone!  She has now had 3 treatments with Dr. Tong and each week her migraines are improving.
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Stomach pain/acid, Fibromyalgia, Back pain, Hand pain - Tanya (see #144 12-13-03, #146 2-7-04, #199 4-30-05, from Temecula) This 36 year old housewife had to quit her job where she worked as a technician in a psychiatric ward after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia (since 25), rheumatoid arthritis (since 10), and stomach problems (since 25). 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.  Unfortunately, her insurance company deemed Dr. Tong's treatment medically unnecessary and denied payments.  For the last eight months, Tanya's condition began to deteriorate again.  She was back on up to 10 medications and she could not even drink water anymore.  She fought her insurance company and was finally approved to see Dr. Tong again.  She is on the road to recovery again and beginning to feel the healing effects of Dr. Tong's treatments.
