Dear Y,

Hello again, my friend! Pleased to know the herbal tea is helpful for 0124's weight gain. Hope 0124 could achieve much more improvements.

As we know ALS is a difficult and chronic disease, usually it will take more patience to see the obvious improvement. We hope he could stick to the treatment without stop.

Regarding all your updated information, we have kept it in record for preparing the next treatment course. For the next 30 days treatment, it is used to consolidate the good result. And on the other hand, it will focus on his major complaints. So we will adjust the formula to give him a more effective treatment. We believe 0124 will see more improvement step by step.

Considering the delivery to USA will take 2 weeks or so, in order to guarantee 0124 could take the herbal tea without stop, we will get start to prepare the new formula soon and post it to you early. Is it OK?

Warm regards from

Dr. Ming


Dear Dr. Ming:
   
0124 and I are grateful to you for maintaining such regular contact.
   
I took two more days' supply of herbal tea to 0124 yesterday (Sunday, April 15)0124 began taking the tea on April 5.  Since then there has been significant changes in his weight.
   
Date
   
 March 31, 2007                   167.0 pounds
   
 April 7, 2007                        169.2 pounds
   
 April 14, 2007                       174.0 pounds

 

April 17,2007                    176.4     pounds            


   
Since ALS is a muscle wasting disease, and 0124 has been continuously losing weight for over a year, this weight gain appears dramatic to me even though I have no medical experience.  This has occurred after just nine days of the herbal tea.  0124 feels that his optimum weight is 185 pounds.
   
During the past week, J. has stopped being fed from 8 PM to 8 AM by machine using the feedinfg tube.  He is eating three times a day, but only pureed food.  
   
Although he is 75 years old, he was always in good physical condition. He did not smoke and he took alcoholic beverages only very moderately.  He looks better now than he did just several weeks ago.  He told me that he feels strong enough now to take an airplane trip.
   
His nursing home service caused his some distress several days ago.  In one meal, bacon bits were left in his food which caused him some choking.  On Saturday, April 14, a maintenance person came into his room and sprayed a disinfectant while 0124 was still in the room, and the spray caused 0124 breathing problems.  
   
It is clear that your herbal tea is having some very dramatic effects.  Since we will have only a 14 day supply left by the end of this week, we will have to place another order later this week, which we are prepared to do.  
   
In the meantime, I will seek to find a competent and willing acupuncturist in the vicinity of 0124 nursing home.  This may take a while.
   
Sincerely,
   
 Y.

Dear Y.

Good day and thanks for your kind reply, my friend. Very glad to share his good improvement. All your updated information is quite helpful for us to review his condition and give 0124 the further treatment.

If you do not mind, please inform more details about his major complaints, so in the next treatment course we will focus on it and especially improve his major symptoms, or adjust the formula if needed.

In addition, in order to guarantee 0124 could take the herbal tea without stop, when he spends half of the 30 days herbal tea, we will prescribe another 30 days herbal tea for him to consolidate the result and give him the next treatment.

Wish you a great weekend and Give 0124 my best regards!

Dr. Ming


Dear Dr. Ming:

I took two more days' supply of herbal tea to 0124 yesterday.  After five days of herbal tea treatment, this is the latest information:

On Monday night, the feeding of J. through the stomach tube from 8 PM to 8 AM was discontinued.  This feeding was tremendously inconvenient to J. because he had to be unhooked even to go to go to the bathroom.  He is now feeding himself pureed food three times a day.  It takes him at least 40 minutes to eat each time.  He still has difficulty swallowing.  In addition to the pureed food, he is also being given about 500 calories of liquid nourishment through the stomach tube four times a day.  

J. stated that when he gets up from a sitting position, his legs now seem more stable.  He said the wobble he had before is gone.

He also stated that his right arm seems to have a slightly greater range of motion.  He still has some difficulty lifting the spoon all the way to his mouth.  It is easier for him to spoon the pureed food into a small cup and the lift the cup to his lips and drink.

Overall, his appearance seems better and his voice is somewhat stronger.

He greatly appreciates your concern.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Y.

Dear Y.

Good day! Thanks very much for your kind payment transfer. We have received your kind funds today. Now we're going to prepare the herbal tea now and will send it soon by air shipping. The deliver will be within 2 weeks to reach USA. Once we post the package we will inform you.

The way to prepare the herbal tea, please see the following instruction:

We have made 30 even dosages for you. A piece (dosage) a day. Please decoct a dosage once per day. The concrete steps are that first, put the herbal powders in a jar or a mug with about 1000ml to 1200ml water. Soak the powders for twenty minutes. Heat the water to the boiling point with strong fire, then make the fire to be mild and decoct (i.e., simmer) the herbal powders for about 30 minutes. When the herbal powders are being decocted, please frequently stir the powders and water with a stick or a scoop so that the powders will not stick to the edges of the jar and the powders will not be burned. This is very important. When the decoction is lukewarm, please filter the decoction with the cloth we offer you. Wrap the powders with the cloth and use the power of your hands to press the cloth bag till all the decoction is filtered out and the herbal powders become dry. In this way, about 400ml to 500 ml pure decoction will be got. Please take 200ml in the morning. Take another 200ml in the afternoon after making it lukewarm.

During the period of using medicine, please take care the following things. Have more nutritious foods; have a due consideration to good rest; take less pungent or fatty foods; relax the mind. If you feel the tea is too much bitter, you could put a little bit sugar into the tea.   

With our warm regards!

Dr. Ming



Dear Dr. Ming:  

Thank you for your kind responses to my E-mails.  I am the friend of 0124 who has requested the information for treatment of his  ALS.

0124 is looking forward to start 30 days of herbal tea.

I will arrange for the payment. The herbal tea should be sent to his brother because his brother lives closer to the nursing home than I do.

There is a question as to the form in which the tea will come.  Since the tea will have to be taken by 0124 through the feeding tube in his stomach, will the tea have to be processed first.  Does it have to be boiled?  Does it have to be dissolved in water?

 ----------------------

Dear Y.

Thanks for your kind reply! We will arrange the one month's herbal tea now and look forward to sending it to you early. The delivery is within 2 weeks to California.

If you prefer the express air mail, the delivery will take one week. Yet, there is an extra shipping fee for you, and the cost will be decided by the weight of the package. If you'd like to express mail, please let us know.

The herbal tea is to be taken orally, twice a day. 200ml in the morning and another 200ml in the evening. It also could be fed through tube himself. As to his current medicine for blood pressure and ALS, please remind him to take them and our herbal tea with an interval at least one hour. That will be fine.

Once you make the payment please let us know and also do not hesitate to confirm your shipping address.

Warm regards and hope for your early reply!

Dr. Ming


Dear Dr. Ming
Please let us know the exact procedure for ordering the one month's herbal tea.  Please indicate the payment process.  What is the most efficient and rapid method of payment?  Is there any indication of the problems of transporting the herbal tea through United States Customs?  What is the quickest way of getting the herbal tea to California?  Will 0124 be able to injest the herbal tea through his feeding tube?  Can this be done without the assistance of a nurse or other medical personnel?

The ALS pill he has been taking is  RULITEK.

The blood pressure pill he takes is  VASOTEC.

He has also been taking Creotine plus Monocycline.

The medical records are still being gathered by his brother A.

Until this disease occurred, he has been disease free. J. will consider going to your hospital for better help. Please send the invitation letter. We have questions as to how to proceed in view of the feeding tube in J.'s stomach. We would like to know the best procedure to travel from Los Angeles to China, such as what city to enter China. Should the 20 days of herbal medicine be taken first?
