Sciatic Pain, Hives, Itching - Jackie (see  # 100 12-14-02, #107 2-22-03, #121 6-7-03, #139 11-8-03, #212 8-20-05 from Lakewood, Retired) went to chiropractors for severe sciatic pain, which she had for a year.  Her pain was so bad that she had to crawl on her hands and knees to go to the bathroom.  Her chiropractor even got discouraged, recommending that she get hip surgery.  After her first treatment with Dr. Tong, 2 and a half years ago, she was almost 99% better.  After her 2nd treatment, she has no pain, and it has never recurred.  Jackie's daughter-in-law, who was having problem with itching and hives, also came to see Dr. Tong.  She was pregnant at the time and her doctor told her that she had to have the baby early in order to treat her hives with a strong medication.  Her labor was then induced, and she was put on a medication which did not help her hives.  He then persuaded her to stop nursing her baby so he could put her on an even stronger medication.  This medication also did not help and she was referred to a specialist.  However, Jackie decided to send her to Dr. Tong.  After a few treatments with Dr. Tong, her hives were greatly improved.
Sciatic Pain, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain, Back Pain - Harry (from California) developed problems around his neck and shoulder as well as sciatic and back pain.  He has had these problems for at least 25 years.  He went to doctors, who told him that there was nothing they could do to cure his pain or help him.  He heard Dr. Tong's radio show and decided to consult him.  After his first treatment last 3 days ago, he felt as if his neck muscles opened up.  His mobility and movement improved and the pain was completely gone.  His back pain was also greatly improved.  Now he gets up in the morning without back pain.  
Rash - Loreen (from Arizona) suffered from a rash on her face for years, which got progressively worse in the past few months.  The rash spread all over her face, became red and swollen, and developed sores.  She received cortisone shots from her doctor, which did not help.  She then went on and took Benadryl which also did not help.  She was put on prednisone, a steroid, which did not improve her rash.  The rash then began to develop and swell on her arms, neck, and legs.  The rash got so bad that she could only sleep 2-3 hours per night, if at all.  The rash was itchy, hot, painful, and bright red.  She was so uncomfortable that she had a poor appetite and lost weight.  The rash became so bad that her fingers were also starting to swell and turn blue.  She booked a flight to come see Dr. Tong on Jackie's recommendation.  When she first arrived to see Dr. Tong, she had to wear two layers of clothing because she was so cold.  After her first treatment, she was no longer cold and the swelling in her arms began to subside.  After her second treatment the rash began to disappear, the color returned to her arms, her energy was improved, and she was able to sleep again.

Neck Pain, Sweet Cravings, Minor Heart Attack - Juanita (from Wyoming) is a massage therapist and also works at a mental hospital.  She has suffered from neck pain for over 2 years.  She also suffered from a minor heart attack for which she is taking Standard Process Whole Food supplements for.  She never went the conventional route for her problems but her neck pain has never been completely alleviated.  Although she enjoys what she does, the nature of her work has caused her a lot of stress.  She was referred to Dr. Tong by her sister, Jackie (see below). After her first treatment with Dr. Tong, she felt calm and at peace.  She was also able to hit the high notes while singing, which she has not been able to do for many years.  After 2 treatments from Dr. Tong, her neck pain was 100% gone.  
Sciatica, Left Hip Pain, Low Back Pain, Hearing Problems, Constipation, Swollen Ankles, Heart Problems, Hypertension, Bronchitis  - Jackie (see  # 100 12-14-02, #107 2-22-03, #121 6-7-03, #139 11-8-03, #213 8-27-05 from Lakewood, Retired) - Jackie has been suffering from constant sciatica and low back pain for a year.  She consulted 7 different natural doctors who were quite sensitive to her problem but got little relief from their treatments.  By chance, her husband heard Dr. Tong on the radio and they decided to consult him.  She has had 2 treatments from Dr. Tong and she is feeling 100% better.  She has no more pain, constipation, and her hearing has improved.  It has been over 2 years since Jackie's last treatment from Dr. Tong, and her sciatic pain has never returned.  For the past three years Dr. Tong was also treating Jackie's uncle, Rod, who has had a heart condition for many years, was on many meds, had a number of inhalers after a diagnosis of emphysema, and had very low energy after a bout with bronchitis.  He also lost his wife three years ago, which caused him to become very depressed.  Since Rod's first treatment with Dr. Tong in January, his lungs have been performing adequately.  He recently had an oxygen saturation test which was 99%.  He is also more alert.  His ankles were very swollen, and now the swelling has gone.  He was on 7 different medications and has been off all of them since his first treatment with Dr. Tong.  His pain that he used to experience at night is now very rare.  He used to go through 9-10 handkerchiefs per day from  excess phlegm and a constant runny nose, which is now no longer a factor.  Rod has been receiving about one treatment per week every three weeks.  Recently, Rod got sick after receiving the flu shot, which exacerbated his emphysema, and caused him to have very low energy.  After 1 treatment with Dr. Tong, he could take a deep breath once again.  Today, Uncle Rod leads a very active life.  At 90 years old, he goes to church every Saturday, the Elks Club every Monday, he visits the farmer's market, watches movies every so often, and reads the paper every day!
Bypass Surgery, Breathing Problems, Leg Pain, Upper Back Pain - Imogene (from Bellflower, CA) is retired and has known Dr. Tong for over 10 years.  Before receiving Dr. Tong's treatments, she had a bypass surgery.  After her bypass surgery, she was still having chest pain and breathing problems.  She also suffered from leg pain and upper back pain.  She recently came back to Dr. Tong for treatments.  After 2 treatments, her symptoms were 70% better!  Dr. Tong also treated Imogene's daughter-in-law, Marilyn, who suffered from skin hives for the past 7 years (see #205 6-11-05).  She had to take one Zyrtec every day for the past seven years or her whole body would break out in hives.  After treatments from Dr. Tong, she is off of her Zyrtec for the first time in 7 years without hives.  Her itching is also all gone!!

Sleep Apnea - Tony has suffered from sleep apnea for 15 years.  He had a lot of trouble sleeping through the night and would wake up every 45 minutes throughout the night!  He would wake up exhausted without any true rest.  He had his throat and uvula cauterized twice to no avail.  After his first treatment with Dr. Tong, he has been able to sleep through the night without waking up.  He has now had 2 treatments and is still able to sleep all night.
Fibromyalgia, Stress, Fatigue, Low Energy, Diabetes, Leg Cramps, Leg Swelling, Back pain - Candy (from San Dimas, CA) and her husband have been adopting children for many years.  Their newest group are two children who were exposed to cocaine in utero and consequently are quite a handful to deal with.  Her 12 year old daughter has been on and off medication for many years and was at one point hospitalized for threatening to commit suicide.  As a result, Candy's health has deteriorated tremendously.  She has suffered from extreme fatigue, pain, leg cramps, and swelling of her legs.  She has now had 4 treatments with Dr. Tong and has more energy than ever.  Her back pain is also improving and she hopes to continue treatments.

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bilateral Foot Pain, Sugar Cravings - Caroline (from Woodland Hills) has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for the last 10 years.  Her doctors told her she would be crippled in 10 years.  She was prescribed prednisone and methotrexate but opted against medication as treatment.  She heard Dr. Tong on the radio and decided to consult him.  After one treatment, she was able to lift her arm above her head, something she was not able to do for a long time.  The next day, while she was walking, she had no foot pain, which she previously experienced from her bunions.  Dr. Tong also helped her with her sugar cravings.
Trigeminal Neuralgia, Facial Pain - Carlo (from New Jersey) began experiencing severe stabbing pain in his mouth on the left side 4 years ago.  He thought it was a dental problem and decided to see his dentist.  X-rays showed that he had trigeminal neuralgia.  After several root canals, he was still in severe pain and was then referred to an oral surgeon.  He underwent oral surgery and subsequently had even more pain than before.  Pain killers did nothing for his pain.  He found Dr. Tong's website and decided to come to California for treatment.  After 4 treatments, he noticed significant improvement in his facial pain.  The pain is less sharp and more tolerable.  He felt more relaxed and was able to sleep well and dream.  He plans on continuing treatment with Dr. Tong.
