My name is Abdulla Bucheeri, I am an engineer from Bahrain.

 I was affected with MS for over 30 years. I tried all western medicine, they approved medicines and the other western medicine.

But never of them solve my problem. Because my problem is a chronic disease and then for there is a limitation in curing of my problem. Just like diabetes, blood pressure and cancer.

A month before I came here. Totally disabled, I could not move my body. I could not turn over my body in the bed. I could not speak properly. I could not move any part of my body.

 Although I was very active before I reached this stage. I was in very bad shape. Only trust in God and one of my friends advise me to try TCM treatment in China.

 In the first three days, I was able to walk 3 meters and one month I manage to walk 60 meters, then 90 meters. My hands power has increased and my speech back to normal and my life style has improved a lot. 

Western Medicine was inable to bring me back to my normal life. But TCM help me to enjoy my life and restore my life back to normal.

 Because TCM is very helpful and brought the smile back to my face. 

As you see now, I ¡®m back to normal. And I will continue using TCM medicine, even when I go back home. I advise all patients with chronic problem such as my problem, not to give up and try TCM medicine. And have a strong faith in God and trust yourself and TCM medicine. 

Wishing everybody good health.

tcmtreatment.com  is a treasure for this region, as it represents a model of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment that has a potential to attract medical tourism; it could repeat itself (e.g. thru franchising) with some adjustments, in other parts of China and abroad, as a standard specializing in complex sicknesses, like ALS.

My name is Yirgilio, from Philippines, last Oct. 2017 I was confirmed for almost two weeks in hospital Because of difficulty in speaking, hard to swallow foods, my mouth is always full of saliva and phlegm and I can¡¯t raise my right arm and the muscle jumping of my upper body is very strong. After so many blood examination and test they found out that I have motor neuron disease, commonly known as ALS. After that they released me and sent me home without medicine because they say it is not yet available in our country.

I went home feeling hopeless and disappointed. After several days, my son who did not stop looking for solution for my health problem saw in the internet this Zhongfang Red Cross International Hospital and immediately contact it. After interviewed by Dr. Ming, he advanced me to go there so that he can monitor on a daily basis my condition.

We arrive at the hospital NOV.7, 2017. We have met Dr. Ming Nov. 8 and interviewed me. I start my medication Nov. 9 and after 5 days I feel more comfortable in swallowing my foods, the coughing for almost one week I experienced is gone.

As days goes by, I feel those on improved in my body, the muscle jumping is still here, but not as strong as before. The saliva of phlegm in my mouth was reduced to 60%/70% and I can raised my right hand now. It all happened during my 5 weeks stay in hospital.

Because of this Christmas and New Year season I had to go home to be with my family. I will return maybe on the 1st week of January, 2018 to continue my medication. And of course I will miss the very hospitable staff of Dr. Ming, from his son XIXI to Joyce, Fiona, Adams, and the rest of the employee is very wonderful.

Now, at least with Dr. Ming around I know everything in me will be okay, thanks to our almighty God, for without his guidance, I will not be here.

My name is Nina, 30 years old, from Georgia, diagnosed ALS one year ago. But everything started a bit earlier, in 2015, when I suddenly mentioned my left thumb and eyelid began twitching. This initial symptoms made me shocked as my ALS is genetic and it destroyed 7 members of my family, starting from my grandma, including my father, his sister and brother and all of their children. They all died before the age 38. I was always afraid of ALS, especially when my elder sister also got diagnosed in 2009. So, it was very obvious, why my muscles began jumping. I got very afraid and confused. I knew there was no cure, so I even didn¡¯t want to visit any doctor. They could not help me... Finally I was officially diagnosed in Turkey in last summer. That time all my muscles were jumping, speech was nasal, left hand paralysis and difficulty of swallowing. Visiting several doctors I was only suggested Rilutek and stem cells. I never heard Rilutek helped anyone. I tried stem cells. After two surgeries I stopped it, as I did not find any results, no improvement, no slowly progress, no good signals, only waste of several thousands of dollars. This was my latest hope died so soon. After this moment I started to search online any natural treatment that could help me, as western medicine suggested nothing more.

Thanks god, suddenly by chance I found information about TCM clinic in Hunan, Zhongfang City. The website of this clinic had very good and detailed analyze of ALS patterns and letter from Dr. Ming, that made me very interested in this treatment. It was absolutely different from the western approach of ALS. Dr. Ming¡¯s group answered all my questions online and I traveled in China in June. Doctors met me very friendly and professionally and asked lots of questions to collect information and plan strategy of the treatment.

Now it¡¯s 3 weeks of treatment in Zhongfang hospital and I already feel some improvements in myself. First of all, my feelings are positive again, after so many failures and stressful days I feel positive and hopeful again. Now I encourage myself to go on fighting against ALS and don¡¯t stop positive thinking. What made me feel so hopeful? It is improvement I found in TCM very soon. I mean my fingers began moving, I can open and close them now. Herbal tea and acupuncture increased my hand power, I walk longer, have less cough.

Dr. Ming and his group visit me everyday and observe my condition carefully. I think its only way now that worth trying. I advice ALS patients not to get depressed. There are several cases, where western medicine is useless and natural treatments, cheaper and without side effects promise better results. Here, in Zhongfang, doctors do their best to learn each patient individually and suggest best strategy of TCM treatment.

I will continue my treatment next months too and hope we can win ALS.

Thanks to Dr. Ming who is really motivated to help his patients and give them a new hope. I could not believe when I see my fingers moving again. That¡¯s amazing!!!

It has been an honor to study at the TCM Red Cross Hospital. During the 5 weeks of study, I met and talked with a patient from Georgia who has ALS.

She told me that her ALS was diagnosed a year ago (about July 2016), however she has had the symptoms of ¡°trembling finger, muscle twitching and loss of voice¡± for 2 years. She believes that her¡¯s is a genetic condition, as her father¡¯s family have several relatives with the same symptoms. She found that there is no successful western medical treatment for her type of sclerosis.

After only 3 weeks of receiving the hospital treatment of Acupuncture, Herbal tea and Massage, her condition has improved. She tells me that she can now ¡°walk better, faster and for a long time,¡± that there is movement in the finger of her left hand where there was no movement before and that her speech is ¡°a little better¡± with a ¡°louder voice¡±.

Asked about any difference to her mental and emotional state, she replied ¡°I feel now positive, have a chance to stop it (the ALS) and we have hope.¡± She plans to stay another 2 months for the treatment schedule.

The hospital specializes in the treatment of ALS under Dr. Ming and a number of other patients with similar symptoms to the patient from Georgia, have been treated successfully here.

I find it incredibly sad that this TCM treatment is not more widely known.

With so many suffers of this type of motor neuron disease, I can only hope that Dr. Ming ¡®s treatment is better recognized worldwide and that many others can improve their condition and have the chance to extend their lives under his care.

I have been coming to the Red Cross International Hospital which is in Zhongfang Hunan Province every year since 2000 for two or three months.

At first for treatment and after seeing much positive results, not only for me, but for other patients, I decided to study traditional Chinese Medicine. I like TCM and would recommend it.

During these years I have communicated with quite a few ALS patients from America, Sweden, Germany, Georgia and the Philippines. These patients tell me of the results of their treatment.

I am finding the results have become more and more positive. Now there is not a patient I speak to that doesn¡¯t tell me of positive progression or ceasing of degenerative state or actual improvement from a degenerative state.

I hope TCM can be brought to the attention of the world as the leaders in the prevention of progression of ALS. I believe it is now leading the way to finding a cure.

11 Patterns Of Classification For ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Written by Dr. Zhu Ming

Dear friends,

This is Dr. Zhu Ming, the President of Zhongfang Red Cross International Hospital (i.e., Zhongfang County TCM Hospital), Zhongfang County, Haihua City, Hunan Province, China, also the director of TCM expert team for ALS.

Talking with hundreds of  ALS patients who came here for hospitalization, most of them taking Rilutek tablet or getting stem cell treatment, almost nobody told us these two ways are helpful. After close check, observation and treatment for hundreds of ALS patients from all over the world for 8 years, our ALS expert team finally presents a systematic classification for ALS. It is 11 typical patterns from the viewpoints of cold, heat, yin (fluid) and yang (fire). These 11 patterns cover almost 80% to 90% commonly encountered ALS cases; also we make corresponding 11 herbal formulas which are clinically effective for these 11 patterns.

The recovering processes for quite a few early or middle stage ALS patients are like this if hospitalized in our hospital, treated by Chinese herbal tea, acupuncture and massage.

 

A. First stage, ¡°up and down¡± stage, meaning that all the symptoms could be better and worse. 

B. Second stage, ¡°slowly recovering¡± stage, meaning that all the symptoms recover slowly but steadily.

C. Third stage, ¡°fast recovering¡± stage, meaning that all the symptoms disappear and the disease is about to be cured.

¡¡

Since case to case is different, in a common condition, these three stages take three to six months.

Since ALS is one of the most difficult health problems in this world, so our classification seems to be complex for you. Therefore, please read carefully, and check which pattern you or your friend belong to, and email us. Or something in this article is not understandable, please let us know.

Medical Report and Video Interviews about the Treatment of ALS by Chinese  Medicine in Zhongfang Red Cross International Hospital from Dr. Zhu Ming

(Updated on June 22, 2011)

 

Hello, dear friend,

This is Dr. Zhu Ming, President of Zhongfang Red Cross International Hospital, and the director of ALS Expert Team of this hospital. Our hospital uses Chinese medicine to treat various chronic and difficult health problems. Even though our international service has only been in existence for seven years, we had offered inpatient service to more than one thousand international patients from around the world. There is an obvious phenomenon that about one fifth of them suffer from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). This condition is included in the list of the World Top Six Most Difficult health problems. Western medicine has almost given up on treating such a difficult disease except for offering Rilutek tablet or operation of stem cell transplantation which are of no help to the root of the disease.

From the viewpoint of western medicine, the causes of ALS are unknown and might be infection, injury, immune factors, working environment, emotional problems, etc. The symptoms of ALS include loss and atrophy of muscles, weakness of the four limbs and body, muscle jumpings (fasciculation), pains of the muscles or joints, stiff or flaccid legs, swallowing difficulty, tongue shrinking and inability to talk, much saliva in the mouth, difficulty of breathing, etc. The patient may lose the muscles and strength of the four limbs and body step by step. In common condition, during 3 to 5 years after that happens, gradually the patient can not walk, can not handle daily life, gets on the wheelchair and then dies of failure of the respiratory function or other severe weakness of the organs. Even we met some cases that the patient survived only six months after the diagnosis was given.  

Our international TCM service team now has approximately eighty working staff, including medical professors, doctors, acupuncturists, translators, nurses, guards, office clerks, etc.

Frankly speaking, since our international service started from the end of 2005, in the first year, we had about ten ALS patients, most of them did not get improvement. However, our medical staff gathered precious experiences from the first year¡¯s practice. We diligently work together to research into this most difficult health problem. Our team of ALS experts started to design a comprehensive treatment strategy for this problem in October, 2006, and we enrich and perfect this system incessantly during these six years. Our ALS team of experts and I came to the consent that from the viewpoints of Chinese medicine, ALS belongs to the categories of ¡°dystrophy pattern (wei zheng), impediment pattern (bi zheng), or deficiency labor (xu lao) ¡± in Chinese medicine, there are following reasons to cause it, for example, attacking of external wind-cold-damp or wind-damp-heat, yin (fluids) deficiency and effulgent deficient fire, deficiency of the liver and kidneys, qi weakness of the spleen and lungs, lung heat damaging fluids, etc. Our team of experts also confirms that overworking, over-thinking, depression, inflammation, too much sex, negative living environment, improper diet, vaccination, chemical toxin, etc., could cause this disease.

Therefore, based upon different individuals with different symptoms, corresponding treatment strategies are adopted, such as expelling external wind-cold-damp or wind-damp-heat, clearing damp heat, moistening yin fluids, lowering deficient fire, nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening qi of the spleen and lungs, fortifying spleen to transform phlegm, softening hardness to dissipate masses, eliminating wind to calm spasms, etc. The major treatment methods are drinking Chinese herbal tea, medical massage and acupuncture.

Even though these three treatment methods are different, the therapeutic strategy remains the same to make sure best cooperative role. Also it is important that since every ALS patient has different illness reasons, different features of cold, heat, deficiency and excess, different symptoms, therefore, for every patient, we will give different treatment strategies and different herbal prescriptions and acupuncture formulas so that the treatment is the most accurate and helpful. So, there are multiple treatment strategies and multiple herbs and acu-points to fit every patient, rather than a single chemical ingredient like Rilutek or half hour operation like stem cell transplantation to try to resolve such a big complex of various symptoms. This treatment way is called ¡°syndrome identification and treatment determination¡± which is proved to be very scientific and efficient during thousands of years practice of TCM. When a patient stays here, we often adjust the formula every three or four days according to the response and progress of the patient.

From October 2006 to April 2007, our clinical statistics reveals that we had 14 patients from USA, Canada, Israel, Sweden, Algeria, Czech, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Yugoslavia, Portugal and China. Their ages ranged from 30 to 65 years old, their treatment periods ranged from one month to four months. The results indicated that 6 patients had very obvious improvement, 5 patients had some improvement, and 3 patients had no improvement.

With our treatment experiences for ALS became more and more mature and comprehensive. From April 2007 to December 2008, among 36 international ALS patients, 21 patients had very obvious improvement, 10 patients had some improvement, and only 5 patients had no improvement.
