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 program, 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 was hospitalized once again in Dec 2004 for a week because she could not eat anything.  She was having diarrhea and vomiting 8-10 times a day which caused her to lose over 20 pounds.  She fought her insurance company and was finally approved to see Dr. Tong again.  After treatments with Dr. Tong, she can stomach food once again and is beginning to gain weight.  Her stomach pain is also improving.  She is on the road to recovery again and feeling the healing effects of Dr. Tong's treatments.

Pancreatitis, Fibromyalgia, Knee Pain, Neuropathy of Feet, Ankle Pain, Memory Loss, Hypoglycemia, Acute Lithium Toxicity - Mary (see #214 9-3-05, #215 9-10-05, #217 10-8-05 from Raceda, home loans) has been dealing with chronic pancreatitis which was not a result of alcohol abuse or gallbladder disease.  She also suffered from fibromyalgia which she was diagnosed with at age 21.  However, her blood tests have always been normal.  She recently had an acute attack of pancreatitis before seeing Dr. Tong.  She has been to the ER 5 times in the last 18 months.  The ER would only give her Vicodin every time she had an attack and advised her not to eat.  She had severe abdominal pain and digestive problems.  Eating non-fat yogurt would immobilize her for a few hours and she would be so bloated that she looked pregnant.  During acute attacks she was forced to take Vicodin.  In the past few years she has also put on 50 pounds and she was always hungry.  Any diet she went on, she would still be hungry after an hour of eating.  She was told that her body was always hungry because she could not digest any food and not getting any nutrients.  .  Mary also had depression from chronic pain.  Her rheumatologist referred her to a specialist who put her on lithium for bi-polar disorder, which she never experienced the manic phase of the disease.  She was on the lithium for 17 months and gained 80 pounds, which made her feel even more depressed.  She then had gastric bypass surgery and a few months later, she ended up going to the ER in a wheelchair and could not read without a magnifying glass from blurry vision.  She was given IV fluids and the doctors missed the fact that she was having acute lithium toxicity.  She then fell into a coma for 6 days and had 200 seizures.  The doctors told her parents that she would most likely not wake up from her coma and may be in a vegetative state.  After her first treatment with Dr. Tong, she was able to move much better.  She stopped her medication (5 different medications non-stop for over 10 years) 3 days after her first treatment.  She has just received her third treatment with Dr. Tong and has lost 6 pounds not even trying.  Her hunger and bloating was substantially better and more in the normal range (this was immediately better after the first treatment).   Her stamina and energy was also so much better after Dr. Tong's treatments.  Her pain now is down to a 5/10, which she hasn't been in 12 years.  She has also not had a full-blown attack since seeing Dr. Tong, whereas in the past she was having an attack every week.
Hypertension, Anxiety Attack, Back Pain, Neck Pain, Insomnia, Fatigue, Nausea - Juanetta (from Cypress see #184 1-8-05, #200 5-7-05) is an ex-private investigator who was diagnosed with high blood pressure years ago.  Last year, she was hospitalized  3 times for her hypertension.  She has tried numerous medications but every one has made her extremely sick.  She also has problems with insomnia and severe fatigue.  The medications she has taken for her hypertension have made her nauseous for the past 6 months.  An auto accident has also left her with neck and back pain.  After her first treatment with Dr. Tong, she was able to sleep through the night.  She is no longer nauseous and her pain is much improved.  Her anxiety is better in that she is more calm and her pain has improved.  Her blood pressure has also dropped.  After her second treatment with Dr. Tong, she states that her psychic ability has returned.  In her work as a private investigator, she assisted in missing persons cases.  Her predictions are now coming back to her, whereas in the past, she lost this ability.

He also had a congenital deformity in his neck and went to chiropractors which gave him slight relief, but he still could not work.  He had no energy because he was in constant pain.  He also went to UCLA and Scripps for help.  They conducted numerous tests on him and told him there was nothing wrong with him.  They put him on anti-depressants.  He took half a pill and got lost on his way home.  After treatments with Dr. Tong, Steve's energy has increased greatly and his pain has decreased significantly.  He can now work up to 12 hours whereas he could barely work 2 hours before.  He now has a zest for life.  Steve was also lactose intolerant and anything with dairy in it made him sick.  Two to three treatments with Dr. Tong allowed him to eat ice cream again and he has been able to eat dairy ever since.  A year ago, he also suffered from an acute attack of food poisoning (he believes it was Salmonella from chicken).  He was staying at a hotel and could not leave for 3 days.  One treatment with Dr. Tong and he was fine within a few hours.  Treatments with Dr. Tong have also boosted Steve's immunity.  Recently, his asthma and allergies had gotten worse from the dry weather.   He had gone to Kaiser for inhalers and his use of them was getting out of hand.  Two months ago, he received a treatment from Dr. Tong, and he has not used his inhalers ever since.
