A Breath Of Fresh Air And A Chance To Avoid Chemo

My health started to decline about two years ago with no diagnosis except for my existing diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). After losing a lot of weight and suffering from shortness of breath for an extended period of time, they finally decided to take my concerns seriously. They biopsied a large lymph node on my neck and diagnosed me with large B-cell lymphoma this past October 2018.

Although I was petrified, I started chemotherapy at the end of November. My first pet scan showed I was filled with cancer throughout my torso. I told Monica about the diagnosis and I started seeing her more consistently. I had chemo every three weeks and got pneumonia twice, which allowed me to get a break from chemo while Monica continued to work on me with Tong Ren, massage, and the laser and whatever other gadget she could try to assist in my healing.

Chuck Christian’s Path to Healing Prostate Cancer and Becoming a Tong Ren Practitioner

My name is Chuck Christian, I played football for the University of Michigan from 1977-81 Rose Bowl. After being exposed to the coaching of Bo Schembechler for 4 years, I believed that I could do anything. I felt invincible. Bo’s motto was, “Those who stay will be Champions.” I carried that mindset throughout my life and it helped me be successful. Almost 3 years ago, I faced a foe that was far more intimidating than an OSU linebacker. It was cancer.  My wife, a nursing...

Dear Tom. Thank You. Joyce.

Dear Tom.
Thank you for helping me become an improved version of myself. These last 15 months have been an amazing journey of healing and transformation. I experienced the spectrum of Tong Ren Therapy of acupuncture, Tui Na, general and anti-cancer healing classes, and the various ultrasound wave healing devices. I am learning more than I can say. I am feeling better than I thought possible. I am grateful to you and the Tong Ren community.

Baby Rowan’s Path to Healing Pediatric Cancer

I first attended Tong Ren at the suggestion of the director of Lucy’s Love Bus — an organization that provides funding for complementary therapies for pediatric cancer patients. My daughter, Rowan, was diagnosed with intermediate risk neuroblastoma in July of 2018 and while she had a partial response to chemotherapy treatment and had had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, there were still portions of the tumor left behind on her major blood vessels and in her spine. The plan was just to observe her and make sure...

Inspiration and Hope. A Journey To Wellness

I began going to The Tam Center For Healing two years ago after being diagnosed with several chronic and debilitating health conditions. I was mostly bedridden and unable to work. I was taking ten prescription medications that were not improving or stabilizing my health. That’s when I decided to go to the Tam Center. Tom Tam and his team of healers identified blockages, or areas of tension, along my spine that corresponded with my range of ailments. By gradually opening, or releasing, those blockages I...

Healing Update – From Debilitation To Hope

I just wanted to share how amazing Tong Ren has been for me. I have a rare condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and have been debilitated by it for 1 1/2 years. The condition causes excess cerebrospinal fluid to build up and cause symptoms similar to a brain tumor- nausea, vomiting, dizziness/vertigo, vision disturbance/loss, cognitive problems/memory loss and severe constant headache. Doctors do not know what causes it or how to reliably treat it. A few weeks ago Tom had the group tap for scoliosis...
