Tong Ren: Future Medicine – A Response to Skeptic Criticism
It is no surprise that skeptics criticize things outside their comfort zone. As much as conventional skepticism claims they believe strongly in science, they continue to criticize in efforts to bring fear and doubt rather than to understand the work of alternative healing methods. Tong Ren is definitely in this category and making a strong case that they are wrong.
Here is a response to criticism written by Tom.

Tong Ren healing is getting popular in the New England area. So far we have about 7,000 people who use this healing system in New England. Tong Ren healing has spread around the world as a new form of healing. Of course, this causes many responses of criticism aimed at our new concepts. It doesn’t matter whether the criticisms are positive or negative. We are glad that the public pays attention to us. It means we are really moving up.
Why are we often criticized? It is easy to understand because we, the Tong Ren practitioners, do not follow any traditional theory. We do not criticize others; in fact we respect other healing systems, including religious healing or psychic healing. Any healing system that works to heal people is helpful; the only difference is the healing rate or percentage in question. Any type of healing, if it does not help, will disappear from earth by the law of natural selection.
On June 16, 2011, the Tong Ren healing system was criticized again. This time in an extensive article written and published by Ben Kavoussi MS, an acupuncturist and anti-quackery activist. This article Exorcism and Sorcery as Health Benefits?! is published in the Science – Based Medicine (SBM) website.
First, let’s view what Ben said in his writing. The first sentence is: “As unbelievable as this might sound, “voodoopuncture” is no fiction at all.” It is funny that it doesn’t matter what you call Tong Ren, because so far no one can stop the believers; they keep coming to us. Why so?! Because of the healing result and benefit they receive. In our healing class, about half of the patients have late stage cancer or terminal illnesses. It is not fiction at all – have you ever cared about what the patient is thinking? Why do the patients come to us? Or have you interviewed them from your loving heart? We know the answer. Of course, you know the answer as well. What is going to happen if their doctor or healer cannot help them? They are looking for a new way to survive and find the hope of life. This is a natural human instinct that no one can stop.
